Chapter 44: To the Crossing City
Linquan County is a small border town of Yanyun Mansion.
The county is only 100 miles away from Suxiu's destination "Yunzhong County".
Three days ago, Su Xiu and his entourage, who had been on a long journey for ten years, came here and hid their tracks and camped in the mountains outside the city.
The imperial court appointed Su Xiu as the governor of Yunzhou, which is a state under the jurisdiction of Yanyun Mansion.
Prefecture is the administrative division of the prefecture at the next higher level.
The administrative regions of the state of Chu are divided into five levels, from high to low, which are prefectures, prefectures, counties, townships, and villages.
At the prefectural level, there was no chief executive, and the imperial court sent "inspectors" to supervise the states.
The chief executive at the state level is the "state pastor".
However, the imperial court made it clear that Su Xiu, the governor, was "in charge of the military and government", which was regarded as Ji Xuan's "goodwill" and "decentralization".
It is also his "compensation" for "allocating" himself.
Su Xiu knew that he didn't have a good heart!
Because Yanyun Mansion is the territory of the "Cloud King".
King Yun is a vassal king, and he should only enjoy food......
However, the abolition of the state thieves and the chaos of the dynasty led to the alliance between the vassal kings and the governors who held military power in various provinces, and in the name of the Qing monarch, they intended to win the Central Plains.
Outcome......
The leader of the alliance was beheaded, which broke morale; was imprisoned by Su Xiu's husband again, and he was frightened.
Coupled with the fact that the Allies were already distracted, the results were self-evident.
ran home one by one, playing the banner of "swearing not to stand with the national thief", and then divided their own territories.
Cloud King is one of them.
Although the national thief is now dead, the new emperor has also been established......
But how can a person who enjoys being in power easily relinquish power?
In particular, these vassal kings who have participated in the "King Qin" and have both fame and strength are even more self-respecting.
They are unwilling to obey the moderation of the imperial court, and they will not tolerate the "airborne" of the imperial court officials!
Although he knew that Ji Xuan was not well-intentioned......
But Su Xiu was still happy to take up his post.
One is to stay away from the whirlpool of the court and accumulate strength in one place.
The second is because of the vassal kings in the border areas several times, and the strength of King Yun is the weakest.
Persimmons, it is inevitable to find a soft pinch!
However, although the Cloud King is the weakest and softest......
But he's also a vassal king!
Not to mention that it has been in business for many years, its power has long been deep-rooted; Just talking about the hundreds of thousands of people with armor is daunting.
Who would dare to brush the tiger's whiskers easily?
The reason why Su Xiu secretly camped in the mountains and forests outside Linquan County was not only to rest and recuperate, but also to collect news.
In the year he has traveled through this world, he will be fully prepared for every step he takes, and he will act only after he is sure enough.
It's not a game, there's no chance to do it again, so you have to be careful!
The mountains and forests outside Linquan County have no name.
The locals call it "the mountain outside the city", and the outsiders call it "the mountain of Linquan".
However, the peak in the mountain, which can overlook the entire Linquan City from afar after reaching the top, has two names.
A "Lanquan Peak".
Linquan County is built according to the big river of "Yaquan", climb the highest peak of Linquan, you can see Yaquan at a glance, so it gets this name.
The second is called "Whip Mountain".
Legend has it that Chu Taizu conquered the ancient Yan Kingdom, and once raised the whip here to inspire the three armies.
Before the unification of the Chu State, there were nine countries in this land of inheritance.
The eloquent and strategic Chu Taizu is similar to Qin Shi Huang on the earth, Fen ancestor Yu Lie, swept through the eight countries, fixed the nine directions, and established a great unified dynasty without precedent.
At this moment, Su Xiu was climbing this mountain.
Because of the system setting, the imitation of the details will also slightly improve the interpretation of the playing object.
He is now playing Cao Cao, and his every move naturally has to be imitated.
However, he is not a professional actor in acting, and he has never seen the real Wei Wuqi, and it is even very likely that he is like a toddler in Handan, and he is not an anti-dog......
But Su Xiu felt that even if he acted like a three-point monkey, it was better than not trying!
The reason why I want to climb this peak is naturally because of the allusion of "Taizu raising the whip".
Chu Taizu once raised his whip to look at the tooth spring, and Emperor Wu of Wei also waved his whip to watch the sea......
That's it, you have to go up the mountain to see!
Su Xiu even planned that he must go to the beach when he had the opportunity to write down the "east of the Jieshi to watch the sea"......
It seems that the west of Yunzhou is near the sea?
It should be able to increase the degree of deduction a lot!
"There are ...... reports"
"Messenger in the Cloud ......"
The sound slowly ascended from the bottom of the mountain, gradually becoming clearer.
Su Xiu found a stone and sat down and waited, not only to rest, but also to wait for the news from the mountain to come up.
Lu Bu stood behind him, holding the hilt of his sword, calmly closing his eyes, proud of the world.
After a short time, Zhang Liao, who was dignified, calm and resolute, returned with a letter.
"Lord, this time it's a three-way investigation."
As he spoke, Zhang Liao opened two bamboo tubes and a brocade bag, and took out three silk books from them.
Read with Su Xiu in turn.
Su Xiu commanded three generals, and Lu Bu was regarded as the temporary captain of the personal guard, and when he was in a hurry, he was responsible for exploring the road in front and patrolling in the rear.
Gao Shun, who is taciturn, trains troops, leads soldiers, eats and lives with soldiers, and the 800 soldiers under Su Xiu's command are all from his hands.
Zhang Liao, who is brave and resourceful, and has a calm mind, was temporarily assigned by Su Xiu to be in charge of "espionage".
said that it was an espionage, but in fact, it was responsible for investigating the news of Yunzhou and Yunzhong County.
Su Xiu, who has never eaten pork but has seen pigs run, knows that he knows that the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles, and the ancient war was an information war!
On the day that Su Xiu camped in the mountains and forests of Linquan County, he sent out seven waves of spies.
At the moment, it is the third, fourth, and fifth treasure hunting.
After Zhang Liao finished reading, Su Xiu frowned and fell into deep thought.
Combined with the previous two reports, it can be said that Yunzhou has been understood, and Yunzhong County is even more transparent.
But it was because he knew too much that Su Xiu couldn't help but be suspicious.
Yunzhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the north four passes reject Beidi, and the hinterland of the Central Plains in the south, since the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, it is the administrative and military center of Yanyun Mansion.
It is the only fertile field in Yanyun Mansion!
However, the Cloud King is not here!
The news found by the spies is all saying that King Yun is far away in the land of Yandong.
Since yesterday, Su Xiu was puzzled, thinking that King Yun knew that he was coming, so he pretended to be a trap......
But after listening to the detailed report today, I realized that I was thinking too much.
King Yun didn't want to take care of any government affairs at all, let alone be bound by Yunzhou, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides; Yanyun Mansion outside Yunzhou, thousands of miles of grassland galloping unbridledly, that is his yearning.
As for Yunzhou, King Yun directly threw it to the family autonomy, not only to obtain the support of the family's money, food, talents and other resources, but also to prevent the reduction of the feudal domain after the stability of the imperial court.
After all, people are outside the gate, and they can run if they want to......
originally thought that King Yun would target himself, but as a result, people directly regarded Yunzhou as an outcast!
Su Xiu was a little happy.
This Yunzhou is really the right one!
King Yun gave up Yunzhou, which means giving up the world......
It proves that he has no ambition at all, and just wants to live his own free life on Yanyun's one-third of an acre.
Since King Yun doesn't want to be an enemy of the imperial court, he won't be confronted with King Yun for the time being, which is really a happy event!
As for the intertwined families in Yunzhou......
Isn't that what gives experience?
This is just the opportunity to imitate Cao Cao and the family of Yunzhou......
Play!
