Jun Ziyun first used Murong Shu's defeat to attract the Qin army to the north, and set up temptations such as the resistance of five cities and the militia of Qin Shao and Lu Ji along the way, so that the Qin army stepped into the trap of Lucheng step by step.

It happened that the imperial court was not at ease with the growth of the power of the southern counties, so there was a lingering war drama jointly directed by Junziyun and Yu Xianggu.

On the one hand, it solved the threat of the royal city for the new emperor, and on the other hand, it consumed the combat power of the Qin army.

A group of princes who wanted a piece of the pie and the tired Qin army started fighting, and the result was obvious.

"Well, I wanted to leave some way out for that group."

Jun Ziyun thought that Yu Xianggu had called for a halt to the war and proposed a peaceful solution halfway, but both sides wanted to fight to the death and bite their mouths.

As a result, the prince was dead, and the Qin army was finished.

The Five-Nation Coalition was defeated, and the people who were barely able to survive migrated south for hundreds of miles. After the end of the war, Qin Qing became the greatest hero in the extermination of the enemy.

The Southern Conference, which had been delayed for a long time, was finally put on the agenda.

However, the content has gone in the direction of rewarding meritorious deeds.

In this matter, representatives of the ten southern counties gathered together.

According to the geographical location, from east to west: Yanshan County, Yeshan County, Guanshan County represented by Junziyun, Haishan County represented by Qin Qing, Qinshan County represented by Murong Shu, Luoshan County represented by Lu Ji, and several small counties interspersed among several counties, namely Caishan, Qingshan, Wushan, and Jinhuan County.

The eight counties fought a proud victory, with the fertile land of the five countries as the victories, and the dominance of the southern counties that were abandoned by the new emperor.

When Zeng Ge left, he handed over the power in his hands to Junzi Yun, and the people who could speak at this moment were Junzi Yun, Murong Shu and Lu Jingchuan.

The first day of the meeting was only an opening session and had little substance.

"Where's Dao Chang Xun?"

"Aftermath."

"Oh? Didn't Yan Guo Qi Guo Chi Guo surrender? ”

"It's surrender, but the fighting power of that group of people cannot be underestimated. I asked Daoist Xun to take over that army and use it to contain the Qin State. ”

"Raze to raze." Ye Fu smiled, "Daoist Xun is also too good, first he was able to let the monks and Taoist priests live in peace, and now he can let the guys from the three countries fight the enemy together." ”

"It's just a trick to get people's hearts."

"How?" Ye Fu is interested in listening to this kind of humanistic thing.

"In the previous five-nation alliance, Shu Guo was just a soy sauce." Jun Ziyun coughed lightly, stunned for the special language he had used someone, and continued, "Chi Guoyan and Qi are all subject to the Qin State, because the force is too weak, and they don't want to be squeezed by the Qin State and choose to jointly bully the Yu State. Now that the Qin State has been defeated, the pressure on them will naturally be lifted. When Xun Daochang confronted the Three Kingdoms before, he cracked their tactics and defensive methods one by one, and now they want to join forces to deal with Yu State. At this time, we threw an olive branch to them. ”

"The Three Kingdoms and the Qin State have been adjacent to each other for generations, the customs are similar, and the familiar ones are like brothers, and now let the brothers monitor the brothers, and the Yu Kingdom will naturally save trouble."

"What's more, the silk grains of Luoshan County and Qinshan County are doing well, and there are many people in the Three Kingdoms who buy them. We communicated with them, and within a few years, we assimilated them. ”

Xun Wuwu's whereabouts were confirmed, and Ye Fu asked Murong Shu again: "Wasn't he captured before?" ”

"You know, that's his deception. In the days when they were mixed into the Qin army, they not only figured out their deployment map

, and also knew about their food and grass supply. The reason why Yu Yushi was able to propose peace at a time when the Qin army was short of food and grass was a message sent by General Murong. ”

"In addition to this, General Murong also ambushed a large number of naval troops by the Qujiang River, and dealt a heavy blow to the Qin army on the way to escape, which is one of the reasons why Qin Qing was able to win a complete victory."

"General Murong is also the second most meritorious hero, how are you going to reward him?"

"Not rewarded."

"Huh? The county guard of Qinshan County was like this before, but they had a good quarrel, you? Ye Fu glanced at a young and vigorous young man, "Can you withstand his anger?" ”

After all, who will be convinced if you don't give a good harvest for a victory?

"I don't reward him with gold, silver and jewelry, or his title and fief, but I promise that the share given to him is what he wants most."

"Oh?"

Ye Fu looked at Junzi Yun's face and sold off, and knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he should wait for the decryption time later.

And so, to the last, serious and silent question.

"General Zeng......"

Junziyun's eyes darkened: "The people Yu Yushi took away, I'm not sure I want to come back." ”

Moreover, Zeng Ge was the "criminal minister" named by the new emperor.

I'm afraid that the meritorious people in this war are all criminals in the eyes of the new emperor, and the biggest sin is none other than the young gentleman Yun in front of him, and Zeng Ge, who is more than half a hundred years old.

"The imperial court wants to use Zeng Ge to clamp down on the southern counties."

Clamping down on the eight counties, Zeng Ge has this ability in his hands, and he controls Zeng Ge, and he also controls the southern counties.

In the subsequent meeting, the ten counties were restructured into eight counties, the original land measurement did not change, and the extra victorious territory was assigned to the name of Xun Daochang, and the income generated from the land was used for the military expenses of each county.

"Now that the eight counties have made a name for themselves, the imperial court must be keeping an eye on us. I heard that the emperor has sent ten generals to guard the county pass above the eight counties, and he may be defeated at any time. Instead of passively being unable to defend against it, it is better to take the initiative to form an alliance! ”

The county guard of Yancheng proposed.

Yancheng and several small counties were weak, and the soldiers and horses were even weaker, and if they left the protection of the three counties, it would be easy to be crushed to death by the imperial court. Out of fear, they wanted to join forces, so they naturally proposed the union of the eight counties.

Everyone has this idea in their hearts, but when it is spoken, there are many problems that need to be solved.

For example, who is the commander, the status of the eight counties, how to arrange the alliance in wartime, and so on.

The meeting was extended, delayed.

Until Lu Jingchuan led a group of old men out and supported Junzi Yun as the leader of the eight counties.

"The reason why the old man recommended Ziyun is because a year ago, Ziyun was the king in our hearts, and now he has a strange plan to defeat the Five Nations Alliance that has been threatening the survival of the eight counties, such a high merit, I think no one here can match it."

Everyone had no objections, and Bai Junshou, who was far away in Guanshan County, also sent a congratulatory letter, saying that he would scatter his family wealth to support the military expenditure of the coalition army.

In this way, Junzi Yun became the leader of the eight counties.

Ye Fu sat in the study, looking at the stacks of folds, and opened a book to read.

looked at Ye Fu so angry that he threw away the pen in his hand: "Open the imperial examination by yourself, does he want to rebel!" ”

Gentleman's quilt

Disturbed, he glanced up at someone who was agitated, and asked gently, "What's wrong?" ”

Ye Fu picked up a few more books and flipped through them, and the content also made her angry: "Your followers are instigating you to be the emperor." ”

Like the opening of the imperial examination, the change of the dynasty system and even the great rebellion of Zhengshuo are clearly in opposition to Yujing City.

Jun Ziyun nodded lightly: "It's not one or two people talking about this. ”

"You can't say yes!" Ye Fu tugged at Junziyun's sleeve, "You can't make a head bird now." ”

You're going to get a headshot.

Ye Fu wilted, he had long known that Junzi Yun would become the leader of the eight southern counties, but he didn't expect the real situation to be so complicated.

Once he is opposed to Yujing City, he is not a simple party leader, but a thief, a thief!

"Don't worry. The reason why I agreed to be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was because this pot of porridge needed someone to distribute it. But now that there are more monks and less porridge, many people are trying to establish greater feats to achieve higher power and wealth, and some are difficult to deal with. ”

"It's not easy to deal with, just kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys."

"If I make an example of the monkey, won't I become a person like the new emperor? In fact, the minds of the people of the eight counties are very simple. They didn't have to join this union, they could have chosen to be the county guard of the far side of the Emperor of the Mountain, and live leisurely with the people of the city. It is the instinct of all people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If I do evil deeds at this time, I will push people away, and I will be gone. But the claws of the court are about to stretch out. When a few small counties are settled, the three large counties will be finished sooner or later. ”

"It can be said that the integration of the eight counties is the instinctive direction of all counties."

"But what if some counties are restless and stab them?"

Jun Ziyun smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do you know what kind of county town is the easiest to oppose?" ”

"The kind of weak, but not liked by the new emperor. A dozen of them! ”

Jun Ziyun shook his head: "No." The easiest to reverse is precisely the strongest. Because he is the strongest, he is feared by the imperial court, and because he is the strongest, he is envied by his kind. Who is the strongest among the eight counties, Guanshan County, Qinshan County, or Luoshan County? ”

Ye Fu's eyes rolled, and after thinking, he said: "If it was before, Qinshan County was the strongest among the eight counties, because of Murong Shu." But now, after the war, more than half of Murong Shu's army was disabled, and Luoshan County was in danger of being an empty city, leaving the mediocre Guanshan County with some strength. However, Bai Junshou's previous move of scattering his wealth for military expenses made Guanshan County withdraw from the center of competition. ”

"Therefore, there is no one who is the strongest in the southern counties now. Every county has an opportunity for upward development, and the biggest enemy is the imperial court. Therefore, it is necessary to move towards joint development. ”

Ye Fu listened to the truth and nodded: "In this way, the court will not act rashly, and Yu Guo can be regarded as peaceful on the surface." ”

When the matter was arranged, the people of the counties went home.

Jun Ziyun still lives in Zenge Mansion.

Soon I heard news from Beijing that Zeng Ge had died of illness.

This man who has no wife and no children in his life lingers on the sickbed for the rest of his life, and when he dies, there is no one by his side to see him off.

The new emperor gave Zeng Ge a thick burial, and the imperial tomb was on a hill.

After Jun Ziyun learned the news, he left Zeng's mansion and ordered someone to seal off the house.

And at this time, there is another big news.

The ten generals of the eight adjacent counties sealed the city gate and cut off contact with the eight counties.

After the war, supplies were already in short supply, cut

The eight counties after the pass were cut off.

If the imperial court wants to let the eight counties fend for themselves, it is really true to its word.

I don't know where a plague began to break out, and it quickly spread to the two counties of Qinshan and Luoshan.

For half a month, the county was full of refugees and patients.

Some of those who fled north were stopped at the gate and could not move, and some were so afraid that they lived in the mountains and forests.

As soon as the ban was banned, there was a plague, which coincidentally made everyone think that this was a calculation of the imperial court and wanted to put the eight counties to death.

Ye Fu was locked in the house and was not allowed to go out, and Junzi Yun was tired every day when he went out early and returned late.

In the evening, after the gentleman freshened up, he put on his clothes and handled official business in front of the case.

Ye Fu walked over with his head drooping, and was just about to reach out to pull Jun Ziyun's sleeve when he was dodged.

Then I saw Junzi Yun's fierce eyes waiting for her: "Don't touch me!" ”

Ye Fu was shocked: "What's wrong?" ”

"Recently, several officials have been infected, and I am afraid that I will infect you with the disease."

As he spoke, Jun Ziyun reached out and rubbed his eyes with a strong sense of tiredness, pinching his eyebrows to relieve fatigue.

"Then you take medicine every day to prevent it, so that you are not afraid of infecting me." Ye Fu smiled and took his hand, the warm touch made Jun Ziyun's heart iron, and the muscles of his eyebrows and eyes relaxed a little.

"The medicine is very bitter, today I looked at the people holding the medicine bowl, painful and desperate......" Jun Ziyun said lightly, gradually closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Now Lucheng, when you go out, there is a strong smell of medicine. The slight smell of smoke can be perceived by the sense of smell.

Ye Fu walked on the street, after three days of patrolling, he walked to a few pergolas at the end of the street and saw a doctor sitting inside.

Ye Fu walked over to see them for consultation, prescription, and prescription.

Stealing the pen, while people were not paying attention, Ye Fu wrote on the white paper the method he thought of: clean water, clean house.

After finishing his work, the doctor found this list when he was sorting out the prescriptions, and he was overjoyed to see the meaning of the beautiful font on it.

Hurriedly gathered a few colleagues and discussed the book to the county guard.

The main symptoms of the plague were fever and swelling, and the faces of the people were red, itchy, ulcerated, and in severe cases, they would emit red spots on their bodies, vomiting up and down, and they would not be at peace.

Boil a large amount of juice with skullcap, coptis, cork, wild chrysanthemum, forsythia and other medicines to the people, and then use it to spray around the house to kill pests and clean drinking water.

The disease has been contained, but the person who has become ill has not recovered.

The medicinal herbs in the city were quickly used up, and the people and officials fell back into panic.

When Lu Jingchuan came to find Junziyun, he was already in tears, and the youngest grandson of the family was infected with the plague.

"How can we get through this difficult time?"

Junzi Yun was so busy that he didn't have a perfect plan in his heart.

"Either we bow to the court, then we can at least be rescued. With the manpower and financial resources of the imperial court, and the new emperor who has just ascended the throne and wants to win the hearts of the people, he will definitely send someone to save us. ”

Junzi Yun twisted his eyebrows: "Lu Lao ......"

"Your Highness, the old man begs you!" Lu Jingchuan knelt directly on the ground, "The old man only has such a grandson!" ”
