After crossing the great river, it is the land of Henan; To the south of Yinshan, in the clouds and west of Dingxiang, the land of the Qianli River Valley is Shuofang County and Wuyuan County.

In the second year of Yuan Shuo, Wei Qing and Li Xi led the army to attack the Xiongnu, sent troops from Yunzhong, went west to Gaoque, and then went west to Fuli (northern Gansu), recovered a large area of land south of Hetao that originally belonged to the Great Qin Empire, and set up Shuofang and Wuyuan two counties, as a 'strategic support point' for attacking the Xiongnu.

"The Son of Heaven ordered me to be in the other side of the city. He Nanzhong, Xuan Yu Xiang. ”

"This Shuo Fang is the meaning of the north, and Hehe, it is grand and lush, that is to say, this fertile river valley area was originally a fertile land for our Central Plains people, and later, the Huns entrenched in the Yinshan area developed, and it became a big trouble for our Han Dynasty."

"Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun, you Changning Marquis is amazing now, don't look at this Shuofang land is full of grasslands, there is no arable land and farmers, in fact, the imperial court has set up three seals, Shuofang, Xiudu under your Shuofang County, Linhe, Hudao, Qiaohun, Qusou, Woye, Guangmu, Linrong and other ten counties."

"Oh, Shuofang Shuofang, I, Dongfang Shuo, came to this Shuofang County today, and it is the right place for the dragon to return to the sea, hahaha......"

……

In the accompanying team, there were also some court officials, who were selected by Liu Che to help Yang Chuan, Huo Quzhi, and Cao Xiang in Tuntian, and many of them were scholars.

However, compared to Dongfang Shuo, the vision and insight of those who read books are simply not enough.

After crossing the river and entering the territory of Shuofang County, Dongfang Shuo was like a different person, riding a chestnut mare, galloping on the vast meadow, and from time to time, he would play a few times on horseback like the Qiang people, which was very comprehensible.

Huo Qubing and the more than 1,000 Yulin orphans were also very excited.

They all looked high-spirited, and they couldn't help but want to gallop for a while, but they were ruthlessly 'suppressed' by Yang Chuan: "Huo Quai, look at your sassy appearance, where else is there a bit of Yulin Army's demeanor?" ”

"If you dare to scratch your head like the Qiang cavalry, the food standard will be halved in the next month!"

Huo Quzhi and the others finally stopped.

There are two things that they can't tolerate the most, the first is to compare them with the Qiang cavalry, if they are humiliated and ridiculed, it is absolutely unbearable; The second is the lowering of food standards......

Well, Jun Sima Yang Chuan is the chef in charge of Yulin Jun, who dares to be disobedient?

'Suppressed' Huo Quai, restrained the Yulin army, and the group accelerated their march, arriving at Shuofang City five days later.

This big city is located on the north bank of the Great River, bordering a large desert in the west, Yinshan Mountain in the north, Chang'an in the south, and the alluvial plain of the Yellow River for thousands of miles from east to west.

From afar, a big city stands majestically, which makes people feel refreshed.

"The site of this city, it is rumored that the earliest was rammed by Zhou Tianzi, two years ago, the Marquis of Changping fought seven battles and seven victories, completely drove the Huns out of Henan, and then rebuilt Shuofang City."

Pointing to Shuofang City from afar, Dongfang Shuo grinned and said: "Marquis Changning, Gongsun Ao has been a guard in Shuofang County for more than a year, and nothing else has been done, only the walls of this Shuofang City are also extremely strong.

I heard that the old thief had a violent temperament, and every time he was drunk, he had to whip the soldiers and his officials, and treated the people under his rule like driving cattle and sheep, and never took pity on the people's strength.

Alas, what a sin......"

Yang Chuan got out of the carriage, rode a tame little mare, covered his forehead with one hand, and looked at the tall and majestic Shuofang City in the distance, and his heart was inexplicably a little bored.

Dongfang Shuo is a kind person, and these words are nothing more than a different way to advise him in advance, the 'Shuofang County Taishou'.

There's a real meaning to this.

He opened one eye and closed one eye, and looked at Dongfang Shuo very seriously: "You mean, there is grievance in this Shuofang City?" ”

Dongfang Shuo smiled: "As soon as the Marquis of Changning comes, no matter how many bones are buried under the city wall, how many souls and grievances have accumulated, it should be dispersed at this moment, you see!" ”

Yang Chuan turned his head to look at Shuofang City.

Really.

A very thick black-gray mist slowly evaporated, slowly blurring into a strange big face under the clean and bright sunlight of the afternoon, and after a dozen breaths, it finally gradually collapsed and was no longer visible.

Dongfang Shuo smiled and asked, "What does Changning Hou think?" ”

Yang Chuan was stunned for a while, feeling that the cold hair on his back suddenly hardened, but his face was indifferent as usual, and he said with a smile: "Isn't that the scene formed after the sun shines, the earth becomes warmer, and the damp fog in the city rises into the sky?" ”

Dongfang Shuo pinched his fingers very seriously and calculated.

For a long time, for a long time.

He let out a long breath, and the old god smiled and said, "Gongsun Ao is dead." ”

"His six sons, more than 300 wives and concubines, subordinates, servants, etc., were wiped out overnight, so the thousands of unjust souls in Shuofang City would dissipate;

Changning Hou, you can enter the city now. ”

Yang Chuan: "......"

I have to say that these scholars in the Han Empire really have some god stick qualities, and they will give you a divination at every turn, which makes him very nervous.

'I don't know if Amu, Adao, and Acai have succeeded? ’

'Once you destroy the door, don't cause any trouble in Chang'an City......

Thinking about it like this, Yang Chuan, Huo Quzhi, Cao Xiang and others drove into Shuofang City; Because of the Yulin Army in front of the road and maintaining order, Yang Chuan was in a trance for a while, and he always felt that something didn't seem right.

Riding on horseback, listening to the sound of hooves, looking at the clear water street, the loess covered road, and the sparse people on both sides of the road, he finally realized that something was wrong-

The Yulin Army opened the way...... Isn't this an inappropriate treatment of the emperor?

This thought made Yang Chuan feel a little uneasy in his heart, and at the same time, he added a touch of sourness......

"This is Shuofang City, the walls are built tall and firm, but there are too few people in this city."

"Yes, look at the clothes of those people, they are dirty and torn, how do they all look like beggars?"

"Poor, the people in this place are too pitiful......"

The three little women, Zhiniang, Liu Man, and Naren Toya, sat in the wide carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out, chattering in a low voice.

When Huo Quzhi and Cao Xiang heard this, they actually felt very uncomfortable.

Coming out of the flowery Chang'an City, all the way north, the more desolate it became, and now after arriving at Shuofang City, a few people found that this bullshit city was simply indescribable.

Only Yang Chuan was riding on horseback, looking left and right, looking at it calmly.

The desolation, poverty and dirtiness of Shuofang City were all expected by him, after all, in the eyes of Wei Qing, Li Xi, Su Jian, Gongsun Ao and other military generals, it was just a huge military camp, who would focus on running it?

What's more, thinking about the 'Luding City' that has been ruined into a big sheepfold, the current Shuofang City is actually not too bad......

"Yang Chuan? Are you really Yang Chuan? ”

"Haha...... Uh, Shuofang County's subordinate official and post superintendent Sima Qian has seen the Marquis of Changning! ”

Superintendent of Postal Affairs, Sima Qian?

Yang Chuan, who was a little 'anchored' in his thoughts, heard the words 'Sima Qian', and when he came back to his senses, he looked up, only to find that their group had arrived at a rather spacious official residence, and the door plaque had a few black lacquer characters written on the door 'Taishou Mansion'.

In addition to the twenty or thirty subordinate officials and captains who went out of the city to greet them, at the gate of the official residence, there were also a large number of subordinate officials in Wuyangyang, wearing black official uniforms, wearing black gauze crowns, and scholars with high crowns.

In the crowd, a red-faced man looked embarrassed and bowed down, but he couldn't wait for the 'Lord Taishou' sentence of 'no courtesy'......

Is it really a red-faced Sima Qian?

Yang Chuan sat on the horseback and looked at Sima Qian with a smile for a long time before he said indifferently: "The old man Sima Qian? ”

Sima Qian raised his head, sneered, and said, "Changning Hou has a good memory. ”

Seeing Sima Qian's officials getting smaller and smaller, Yang Chuan's mood was very comfortable, and he laughed: "Sima Qian, aren't you the military marquis of the six hundred stones under the rule of Yunzhong Taishou?" Why, did you come to this Shuofang County to be the postmaster again? ”

I don't know what's going on, when he heard the official title of 'Post Supervisor', Yang Chuan couldn't help but think of the incident when Zhang Fei whipped the Post Supervisor hundreds of years later.

Well, why do you feel a little happy somehow......

Don't laugh, can't laugh, as the Marquis of Changning, the Taishou of Shuofang County, the Tai Academy Sacrificial Wine, the Great Agricultural Order Youcheng, and the Yulin Army Sima, how can you laugh at people easily?

Unless you can't help it......

Yang Chuan finally couldn't hold back his laughter: "Hahaha, Sima Qian, other people's officials are getting bigger and bigger, you guy, why are you getting smaller and smaller?" ”

In front of a group of 'colleagues', Sima Qian's big red face, a burst of green, a burst of white, finally suffocated into a pig's liver color, and said with an embarrassed smile: "My father Sima Tan failed to enter the Tai Academy, and the city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish, so it's strange that my Sima Qian's official ability is big." ”

Yang Chuan smiled and said, "Your father failed to enter the Tai Academy, it was my hands and feet, who made you almost starve to death when you locked me in a dog cage?" So, your father wanted to enter the Tai Academy, and I personally ticked off his name. ”

Sima Qian's big red face darkened when he landed, his expression was extremely embarrassed, and he couldn't say anything when he was alive.

This Yang Chuan, who said the personal vendetta of the communiqué and the harm behind his back, said it so clearly, which made people speechless.

Yang Chuan looked at Sima Qian, who had an ugly face, and was in a pretty good mood.

He turned over and dismounted, and grabbed Sima Qian's arm: "Let's go, the old people will meet again after a long absence, Benhou invites you to eat roasted whole sheep, by the way, I also invite you to eat a bowl of oily meat noodles; At the beginning, in order to plot Benhou's oily and meat noodles, you also did me a big favor.

How about writing off past grievances? ”

Sima Qian could only keep silent with a dark face, and was pulled by Yang Chuan and entered the door.

After some greetings, everyone walked into the Taishou Mansion.

Yang Chuan shook his head and smiled bitterly as he walked, and said secretly: "Gongsun Ao, that old horseman, is not good at leading troops to fight, and this ability to enjoy life is also very common." ’

It's a good Taishou mansion, and it is outrageous to let his husband spoil it into a dirty, smelly and messy barracks.

"Come on, take those weapon shelves, stone hammers and whatnot, and throw them away for Benhou."

"And those stables or something, tear them all down!"

For a while, all the officials rolled up their sleeves, pulled the hem of the black official uniform in their belts, and began to 'clean up', even Sima Qian couldn't help but go to work, but was left by Yang Chuan with a smile.

"You Sima Qian is a scholar, you can't do that kind of rough work."

Yang Chuan walked to a pond, found a clean place, and sat down with Huo Quzhi, Cao Xiang and others; Tangyi's father and a dozen half-sized children set up a mat, and Liu Man, Zhiniang, and Naren Tuoya also did it themselves, laying out blankets and setting up tables, chairs and benches, and they were very busy.

"Sima Qian, come here," Yang Chuan beckoned to Sima Qian, letting this guy sit beside him, "Tell me why your official is getting smaller and smaller, so that Ben Hou is happy?" ”

Sima Qian: "......"

This guy, take the bamboo shoots!

Isn't that rubbing salt in people's wounds? However, think about it when he was a military marquis in the clouds, the first time they met, didn't they just put Yang Chuan and the others in a cage and almost starved to death?

This is really retribution.

"Originally, I also made some military achievements in Yunzhong County, and I also stained some of your Changning Marquis, and my official rank was promoted to a rank of 1,000 stones."

Sima Qian sighed and continued: "Later, news came from Chang'an City that my father Sima Tan failed to enter the Tai Academy, and some nobles in the past began to alienate our Sima family, and many people even cut off contact with each other;

This is not the worst, after all, my Sima family is a historian, and there is no interest in the family of the powerful, and if it is broken, it will be broken, but it is a good thing, and when I write history later, I don't have to worry about any face.

The biggest problem is still with me......"

"Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun, come, drink tea." Liu Man brought over a bowl of tartary buckwheat tea.

"Okay, okay, you all go wash and rest for a while, and wait for the banquet to start," Yang Chuan took the tea bowl, lay down on Ma Zazi, and smiled at Sima Qian: "You go on, Ben Hou likes to hear your unlucky story the most." ”

Sima Qian opened his mouth for a while, and sighed: "Originally, as a descendant of a historian, I didn't really have any thoughts about being an official, it was just a little more experience, so after being promoted to a lieutenant under the rule of Yunzhong County, I was actually planning to return to Chang'an City."

Unexpectedly, I came to Shuofang County for an official matter, and found that Sun Ao, the Taishou Gonggong of Shuofang County, tortured and killed prisoners, whipped soldiers, and in the process of tuntian, he also recast the iron and farm tools allocated by the imperial court's agricultural order, and cast them into weapons.

So, I sent an impeachment document to the court......"

After listening to Sima Qian's words, Yang Chuan finally understood.

The feeling is that this red-faced man really can't get used to Gongsun Ao's practice in Shuofang County, so he sent an impeachment document to the court, and as a result, he brought himself a lot of trouble, not only lost the official in the clouds, but also was made a trick by someone, and was directly assigned to Shuofang County as a bullshit superintendent.

It can be expected that if it weren't for the fact that this time Shuofang County Taishou was replaced by him Yang Chuan, with Gongsun Ao's little belly chicken intestines, he wouldn't have killed Sima Qian?

Tsk, it's so hanging.

If one is not careful, there will be one less 'Taishi Gong' in history......

Looking at Sima Qian, who was lost and depressed, Yang Chuan's heart was secretly refreshed, and at the same time, he was also anxious: "Look at this Han Empire, even the Sima family, a family of historians with a very good background, will inevitably be overshadowed, and in the future, everything must be carefully cared about." ’

"Sima Qian, I think you're doing a good job as a post supervisor," Yang Chuan groaned a few times, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, if you work for a few more months, if you do a good job, Benhou will appoint you as the governor of Shuofang County, how about it?" ”

Sima Qian laughed dryly, and arched his hand: "Sima Qian has long been disheartened by the official eunuch, and I ask the Marquis of Changning to let me go back to Chang'an for the sake ......of the old man."

Yang Chuan laughed: "Let you go back to Chang'an?" Okay, even if you're ugly, you think it's pretty beautiful. ”

"Let me tell you the truth, Ben Hou still wants you to be the postmaster."
