Chapter 127: The Legacy of Independent Liu Ziyang
Liu Xun, as a county guard, is not an impulsive reckless man.
When he glanced at the generals in the hall, Liu Xun found that Zhang Xun, Ji Ling, Lu Mian and other generals all bowed their heads and were silent, which was in stark contrast to the noise of the Lujiang military generals.
It turned out that the same hall was a minister, and today he is a guest under the seat.
It was normal for everyone to behave in a low-key manner, but with the sudden death of Yuan Shu, Liu Xun's heart also changed, and he no longer treated Zhang Xun and other generals as equals.
Tens of thousands of people migrated here, bringing great wealth to Lujiang County, and Liu Xun enjoyed wonderful wealth while also providing for these tens of thousands of mouths.
After accepting Shouchun's people and wealth, Liu Xun was under two pressures at the same time, one was the huge consumption of money and food, and the other was that Zhang Xun, Ji Ling and other generals all held the army.
The former is tolerable, but the latter makes Liu Xun very jealous, so even if Zhang Xun and others are low-key, Liu Taishou can't let down his vigilance.
Taking the opportunity of Long Xiang's incident, Liu Xun stopped the noise in the hall and asked Zhang Xun by name: "All the generals want to ask the teacher, General Zhang is His Majesty's favorite general, and he has dealt with Long Xiang in Chengde, what is your opinion on this?"
"Uh... When I first arrived, I didn't know Long Xiang well..."
Zhang was also a famous man under Yuan Shu, and he had rich experience in struggle, whether he was commanding operations or being an official.
Seeing that Liu Xun dug a pit for himself, he couldn't speak out against everyone's evil, and he couldn't go along with himself and put himself in, so he could only answer vaguely.
Long Xiang grabbed people in Chengde, exposing a certain amount of strength.
Liu Xun originally wanted to send Zhang Xun and other generals out, but by consuming troops during the attack on Hefei, only when the generals of Shouchun lost their minions, he felt at ease.
Seeing that the experienced Zhang Xun was not fooled, Liu Xun frowned and continued to ask: "The general of the Long Xiang Department killed Zhang Min with one sword, I heard that General Zhang witnessed it with his own eyes, you greeted each other in front of the battle, are you really not familiar?"
Zhang Xun glanced at Hao Meng next to him, clasped his fists and said, "At that time, General Yuan and the prince were urging to hurry, and Long Xiang was the former general of General Qiao, so I came forward to mediate because of my old friendship, and we really didn't know each other..."
Liu Xun was afraid that the Yuan family would interfere in Lujiang, so Yuan Yin, Yuan Yao and other Yuan clan relatives arrived in Anhui County and were kept in captivity as pets in the mansion.
At this time, Zhang Xun brought out the Yuan family, which made Taishou Liu Xun quite unhappy, and he was ready to continue to find a reason to play the trick.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Yang Hong saw that his colleagues were deliberately targeted, and he couldn't help but go out to speak up.
"Zitai, Long Xiang is the general of the bridge rui, and his family members voluntarily followed, how can it be said that he robbed the guests? You don't have to worry about that..."
"Huh? His Majesty's coffin is in Lujiang, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also in Lujiang. What is the difference between him and the traitors Chen Lan and Lei Bo?" Liu Xun's tone suddenly increased.
Yang Hong didn't have military power, and he didn't have as many worries as Zhang Xun, so he responded neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Serve the old master? You mean His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? After the death of His Majesty, no one supported His Royal Highness to succeed to the throne, but even the capital was abandoned, where is there still a country and a king? As for Long Xiang in Hefei, he is no different from Chen Lan and Lei Bo, so why should he be too guarded..."
"Yang Changshi is very sober, the country is gone with the death of His Majesty, everyone should forget the previous title, it is not easy to live in this troubled world..."
Liu Xun didn't get angry after hearing this, but nodded very affirmatively, intending to knock on Shouchun's nobles, so that these remnants of Yuan Shu could clearly recognize the position, the country no longer existed, and he had to be careful on his territory.
The two asked and answered, making the atmosphere in the hall even more strange.
Liu Xun saw that Zhang Xun and the others were silent, and a trace of pride welled up in his heart.
Liu Xun accepted it when he saw it, changed the topic and asked: "Chen Lan and Lei Xuxiao gathered in the mountain as a coward, but that Long Xiang dared to occupy the city, there is an essential difference between the two, Yang Changshi is good at planning, how do you think to deal with it?"
Yang Hong thought for a while, stretched out his right palm and turned his finger into a fist, and said: "Hefei is between Shouchun and Anhui County, if Cao Cao goes south, he must attack Hefei first, we are all colleagues from Shouchun, it is best to shake hands for the fist to resist Cao thief, if they fight each other, I am afraid that they will benefit others."
"What is the identity of Long Xiang? What is my status? He can talk to me
On an equal footing?"
Liu Xun slapped the table and stood up solemnly, looking at Yang Hong coldly with an angry face.
Liu Xun behaved moodily today, so that Yang Hong didn't know what to reply for a while, and Zhang Xun next to him was grateful for his relief, so he reciprocated Li and helped:
"Don't be angry, let Long Xiang continue to garrison Hefei, in fact, it is very beneficial to Lujiang, if the army is raised to crusade, he may be pushed to Cao Cao, I heard that the new Yangzhou assassin Yan Xiang has been stationed in Shouchun after us, I am afraid that there is a plan for Huainan..."
"Yuan Shao has swept Hebei, how can Cao Cao have the spare strength to go south? But your concerns are valid, but what are the specific countermeasures?"
Zhang Xun clenched his fists and replied: "Long Xiang is not afraid, but the generals under his command are excellent in martial arts, and they are afraid of losing their generals by forcibly attacking, so it is better to send people to find out the truth first, and then according to the situation mastered, win over or deter."
"Reasonable, that's all for today, wait for the news from Hefei to discuss it again, let's disperse..."
Liu Xun announced the end of the show with a wave of his hand, and watched a group of civil and military officers slowly walk out of the hall, and the two eyebrows on his forehead frowned again.
Although Zhang Xun and others were beaten today, they were still not at ease with these generals who supported the army, and they had to find an opportunity to weaken them.
Li Tun was still on the way to Lujiang, so he suggested that Zhang Xun send scouts to follow him, and later found Long Xiang's hiding place and secretly spread the news to Zheng Bao.
Liu Xun's scouts had only been out for three days, and Zhang Xun had already received the news that Zheng Bao had been killed, and he didn't want to jump into Liu Xun's trap, so he immediately reported the information, and the generals in Lujiang were in an uproar after hearing it.
Zheng Bao was among the powerful in Huainan, and the amount of money and grain and troops was not bad, and Liu Xun himself was unwilling to provoke, so he ordered the two counties of Xiang'an and Linhu, which were close to Chaohu, to move the people from the outer cities to the vicinity of Anhui County, so that the two counties could strengthen their vigilance.
So when he heard Zhang Xun's information, Liu Xun didn't want to believe it at first.
It wasn't until mid-August that the scouts returned, bringing news that Long Xiang had defeated Zheng Bao and surrendered his troops.
Suddenly becoming neighbors with the strong, Liu Xun couldn't sit still for an instant, and then the military generals asked for advice.
Just like the last time, when the Lujiang generals expressed their opinions, the civil and military officials from Shouchun did not say a word.
Liu Xun listened to it for a few hours, and when he lowered his head and rubbed his forehead, he suddenly saw a person in the corner looking calm.
That kind of independent attitude is either penetrating everything in his heart, or he is really incompatible with everyone.
This person's situation happens to be very special, he is Liu Ye, who came to vote earlier than Yuan Yin, and is an independent existence outside the two groups of Lujiang and Shouchun.
"Ziyang, it has been a few days since you came to Lujiang, and I heard that Mr. has a lot of high-level opinions on weekdays, and Long Xiang's strength is not to be underestimated now, can Mr. have a clever plan to teach me?"
