"Bo Chang," the south is facing the mountain, Yang Xiujing has not been here until he comes, he is in a very positive state of mind now, anyway, his words and deeds will be recorded by the school affairs, and if there is anything abnormal, he may be informed of the government immediately.

The officials of the entire Xu capital can't set off any storms.

However, there is one place that is more quiet than the palace, and that is the south side of the mountain.

The checkpoint set up by Zhang Han can stop all the spies and is a forbidden area for school affairs.

Yang Xiu only knew that this was the "Pure Land of Tranquility" in Zhang Han's mouth, and he was not allowed to be disturbed by school affairs.

When he first heard this, Yang Xiu was very excited, because he found that Zhang Han's move was too dignified, so that it made people admire.

Later, I happened to go to Shangshutai once, and heard that Xifujun and Xun Lingjun complained about it, and also praised it, "I didn't expect Bo Chang to have such integrity, and he has his own pure land in his heart", at this time......

Xun Lingjun suddenly raised his eyelids slightly, and said calmly: "It's because his real family property is actually in the south of the mountain instead of the Bancheng Street Mansion in Xudu." ”

Just this sentence blocked the monarch's anger for many days, because they are also ministers, and the family property of the two is really very different.

Xi Zhicai is not a person who abides by integrity and has a clean breeze on his sleeves, but he just doesn't have so much money and industry, and compared with Zhang Han, there is a sense of frustration.

When you are young, you can also comfort yourself with your own lofty and unintentional profits.

Not anymore, because he understands that being rich must be uninhibited, but being uninhibited does not mean that he is not bothered by money.

After entering the door, Yang Xiu's thoughts were a little more restrained, Zhang Han was busy, just looked up and said hello to him, and asked Yang Xiu to wait on the side.

After Zhang Han finished handling military affairs, he asked him to come and sit down.

Yang Xiu was about to talk about the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he also retold the content of Yuan Shao's letter.

Zhang Han shook his head and said, "How do I know what the prime minister thinks." ”

"Xu is the content of Yuan Shao's letter, and we have seen our plan, so that we will not reveal anything about the secrets in the territory."

"Maybe he really wants to win over your father from the past, or maybe he will make a plan, just taking advantage of your father's current correspondence with them, so he took the opportunity to admonish, he should also know that Xu Du has abandoned the third prince now."

"It seems that this war will break out soon, and when the people and horses of both sides cannot make achievements in exploration and spy warfare, they need to start a war to open up the situation."

"So," Yang Xiu lowered his head and pondered, and said lightly, "I shouldn't have written to the past again." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhang Han looked at him calmly.

"The prince and the marquis think, now that the court has been subdued, I dare not easily contact Jizhou, if I continue to communicate now, isn't this just not self-defeating."

"Well......" Zhang Han thought for a moment and said: "You write, just chat, don't worry, during the period, you can slightly reveal the prosperity of Xu Capital now." ”

Yang Xiu's eyes rolled, nodded quite approvingly, and said: "The prince and I think it is not bad, Xiu has always believed that this letter exchange is not only to obtain information from the words of the letter sent from Jizhou, but also to send some information to confuse his mind." ”

"It depends on what news the prime minister wants to send," Yang Xiu clapped his hands lightly, and immediately figured out this section.

"Just reply to the letter normally, he will talk about whatever he wants, the so-called Jizhou gathers Shiqing celebrities, and Xu Du can have a genius in the country," Zhang Han locked his eyebrows When he said this, his thoughts suddenly opened up, and he smiled heartily and said: "You just write me!" These keel waterwheels, streams and wells and other easy-to-build things, military tuns can all be said, and they have already been transmitted to Jizhou. ”

After several years of success, the law of Xu Du has been spread to the four directions by the sentinels, and all places know about this policy, but for some reason, or the local political situation does not match, or the scholars do not like this policy, they do not look down on this practice, so no one follows it.

At this time, it showed that Zhang Han was very wise to be more "Gou", and when the stirrups were configured for the black robe to ride, Dian Wei was very excited to go out and show off.

As a result, Zhang Han strictly ordered it to be kept secret, and all the iron stirrups were wrapped in white cloth outside, so that people did not know the mystery, and only thought that the black-robed armored horsemen were strong.

So far, no one has leaked any news.

Yang Xiu got Zhang Han's guidance, and some conjectures in his heart were confirmed, mainly if he did something wrong, even if he was held accountable in the future, he could also tell the prime minister that this was a resolution that had been discussed with the prince.

Of course, he didn't dare to betray Zhang Han.

After he left, according to Zhang Han's ideas, he wrote a reply letter for his father and sent it to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After Cao Cao saw it, he didn't think there was any problem, but said: "Bo Chang is now a decentralized and idle person, these are all past achievements, but one more thing can be revealed, that is, Zhang Han is no longer in a heavy position after Dong Cheng and Fu are finished." ”

"Got it......"

Yang Xiu's mind was clear, and he naturally understood what Cao Cao's words meant, "Next, go home and let my father change it again." ”

In less than half an hour, Yang Xiu returned with the letter again and presented the letter to Cao Cao.

After seeing it, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were quite satisfied, and immediately sent them to Jizhou according to the previous route.

In the blink of an eye, the summer was about to pass, and by the end of June, there were almost no more winds and waves in Jiangdong, and Sun Ce's troops in Quyang had no intention of attacking, but only defended.

Cao Ang sat in the state of Qian, and Zhang Liao defended the Jiangdong defense line, and he could also secretly and faintly curb the expansion of Jiangdong with Huang Zu.

In order to appease Sun Ce, Cao Cao made him a rebellious general in the name of the imperial court and canonized him as the Marquis of Wu.

It was equivalent to giving him a little sweetness after giving him a stick, so Sun Ce was busy stabilizing the territory he had gained, and quietly transferred a lot of troops from the border of Lujiang and Jingzhou, and his ambitions were once again curbed.

At this time, Xiangyang, Jingzhou.

Sun Gan came here as a guest, but he was received by Liu Xian, but when they met and ate at the banquet, Sun Gan quickly found some clues, and Liu Xian's face was not very good.

After some inquiry, Liu Xian stroked his beard and remained silent, and waited until a while after the banquet, when someone came to pay a visit, he got up and asked Sun Qian to wait for a while, and then went out to greet him in person.

Not long after, another Confucian in a dark robe came into the door, with a beard, a rather thick chin, a square face, and a serious complexion, but when he saw Sun Gan, his face was relieved and he bowed.

Sun Qian also came to the door and listened to Liu Xian's introduction: "This is Han Song, the word is high." In order to engage in Zhonglang, I am friends. ”

"Mr. Degao," Sun Qian saluted, and sat down in the middle of the banquet, thinking about this person in his heart, but he had never heard of it.

Liu Xian smiled and introduced: "Degao is not a Jingzhou scholar, Nanyang people, few talents, poor family, but very virtuous, committed to learning for many years, not in the early years, and then with my lord, full of learning, his knowledge is also quite lofty, this banquet in addition to Sun Jun to pick up the wind and wash the dust, but also want to introduce Degao and Jun." ”

"Oh," Sun Qian arched his hand, "Thank you for not driving, I am naturally willing to make friends here, and Degao is invited to sit down." ”

"Please."

After a few people sat down and chatted for a while, Sun Qian roughly understood what Han Song and Liu Xian meant, and also knew why Liu Xian was so sad.

"Since, Jiangdong retreated, my main Silu River defense line, just connected to my Jingzhou, so I understood that these three places, for the full momentum, Sun Ce attacked Huangzu, then lost the rejection of Quyang; If we attack Guangling, then our Jingzhou can face each other across the river, and in Jiangxia County, we can garrison troops to threaten. ”

"So, Jiangxia, Guangling, and Lujiang can make Sun Ce helpless and trapped in the Yangtze River moat, he can only look at the river and sigh."

"Based on this, we all think that the lord actually has the heart of Lian Cao, so he wrote a letter to make him more friendly than Xu Du Tianzi and more friendly to the prime minister."

"It is believed that the villain of Tongcao, after being scolded several times, has gradually lost trust, Sun Jun, I have good intentions, but I am criticized by this, and my heart is naturally uncomfortable."

"So, who slandered the two?" Sun Qian asked curiously, and this time I came to Jingzhou to ask for money, if I don't ask clearly, this part of the road may be difficult.

Five hundred war horses raised in Xuzhou have been sent to Jingzhou, and there are many concessions in price, and even the horses are sent first, and then the money is collected.

But Jingzhou doesn't seem to be going to pay.

Previously, Sun Qian and Mi Zhu were given another explanation, that is, he asked him to use this batch of war horses as a fund for Jingzhou's armaments, and if Jingzhou grows stronger in the future, it can be regarded as a merit, so that the two families can reach Jingzhou's scholars.

Does Sun Qian dare to agree to this reason?

"With the Cai family as the mainstay, if it weren't for Kuai Jun to speak for us, I am afraid that we would be severely punished, in fact, virtue is outspoken, not flattering persuasion," Liu Xian sighed and said: "However, in terms of relationship, we are not as close as the Cai brothers and the general, and if he talks for many days, it will still make the general suspicious." ”

Liu Biao is not a saint, even if he is wise and listens at the beginning, but after listening too much, he will feel uncomfortable and secretly take precautions.

Sun Qian understood Liu Xian's words, which means that now they are about to lose Liu Biao's trust, and it is difficult to make any more achievements.

"In this way, there is another obstacle from Cai's obstruction, but it should not be so ......"

Sun Qian heard Zhang Han say that the Jingzhou scholars were actually willing to attach themselves to the Son of Heaven and return to the prime minister, all for the sake of the family's long-lasting fire.

How could such a thing be done in secret?

"Sun Jun will see my lord tomorrow, and he must not be angry and lose his grounds." Liu Xian said a lot, and finally gently pinched his arm.

Han Song arched his hand and said: "Sun Jun is here, what he is doing is a matter of horse merchants, and we know it well." ”

"However, it is not good to speak for Sun Jun now, he has been loyal and conscientious in the next book, and he has been persuaded by good words, but now since he will be considered to collaborate with the enemy for profit, it is contrary to what he has always wanted, so it is not good to talk about this matter again, and I ask Sun Jun to forgive me."

"Where is ......" Sun Qian smiled and toasted a glass of wine, but he really didn't mean to blame in his heart, after all, he said it quite straightforwardly, and he wouldn't say anything more.

Of course, this is enough to show that the money really can't be returned.

Sun Qian's banquet was quite bitter all night, and after hearing the news of these side knocks, he became absent-minded.

On the second day, Sun Gan went to see Liu Biao, and sure enough, he mentioned that it was counted as funding Jingzhou's armaments, and he also let Sun Gan enjoy a good name, which was widely spread among Jingzhou scholars.

Sun Gan was not angry, and the answer was fluent, but he refused to accept it personally, and in the end, the stalemate was Liu Biao's arbitrary decision, so that Sun Gan had nothing to say.

When Sun Gan's horse team returned to Xuzhou, it was plundered again, and lost a merchant horse with a cargo of about thousands of gold, but fortunately Sun Gan's escort was from the Dian Wei personal guard battalion and the black-robed horseman, and did not hurt his life.

Sun Qian returned to Xuzhou in disgrace, and after recuperating at home for a few days, he took dozens of brothers to Nanlinshan together.

When he saw Zhang Han, Sun Gan's whole person was decadent, he didn't say a word, and he couldn't laugh.

This trip to Jingzhou can be described as disgraceful, all the way dangerous, if it weren't for the prince and the prince to let twenty brave guards at any time on weekdays to follow, at the critical moment these people can be fully killed by one when ten.

Maybe I'll die in a foreign country now.

The road is already difficult, and the distance across the county is long, and I feel that I have returned to the difficult days when my ancestors were doing business.

When Sun Qian told about the hardships of the road, Zhang Han walked slowly around him, listening at the same time, and actually laughed at the end.

"So, we're being treated the way of others, aren't we?"

Sun Qian was stunned for a moment, and lowered his head bitterly: "How can the prince still laugh?" ”

"So what should I do, am I crying?" Zhang Han laughed dumbly, and said with a smile: "It's all over the place, you have to accept the reality, and you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet?" ”

"We're getting wet shoes now."

Sun Qian sighed, "That's right. ”

The reason is such a truth, but now that people are far away in Jingzhou, and they can't start a war with Jingzhou immediately, I'm afraid that I can only eat it.

Thinking of the hard work of hundreds of people for ten months and the manpower and material resources spent, Sun Qian only felt pain in his heart.

Zhang Han was very indifferent, thought for a while, and said: "I will definitely not treat you badly, and I will pay 10,000 gold from my mansion to your account, when I pay this money for Jingzhou." ”

"This, this...... Prince, this is not appropriate!! How can you bear it alone? Sun Qian's heart was shocked, Zhang Han was too generous, he could spend so much gold and silver casually, and he lost money alone, and his heart was uneasy.

"It's okay," Zhang Han waved his hand, "When I make money, I get the most, and now that something happens, I naturally have to bear the most, you can take the money, and it doesn't hurt for you and me to be a little wronged, after all, there are still many opportunities to make money in the future, and the people under my hands can't be treated badly, and the wealth is scattered." ”

Moreover, it is not my own hard-earned money anyway, so there is nothing to say.

Sun Qian nodded with a heavy heart, deeply agreeing, and at the same time relieved.

And I was deeply moved in my heart, at least from this point of view, it is absolutely right to follow the command of the prince, when he is really in trouble, the shoulders of the prince are so powerful.

"Okay, let's tell me some good news," Zhang Han breathed a long sigh of relief and sat down in front of Sun Gan, "Liu Xian, but there is news coming, how is it in Jingzhou recently?" ”

"In addition to the First Sect, there is another person to inform Yu Junhou."

"The name is Han Song, the word is high, can the prince know?"

"I know," Zhang Han raised his head and recalled, and the continuous information poured into his heart, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

"This person, maybe useful ......" Zhang Han touched his chin and thought slightly.
