On the day when Shao Xun moved to Xiao County (27th), Governor He Lun led nearly 13,000 cavalry to the vicinity of Xuchang.

That night, Sima You, the king of Runan, entered the camp.

The next day, the whole army turned around and arrived outside the city of Xuchang at nightfall.

Huang Biao and Zheng Dong grinded for a long time, refusing to open the city gate on the grounds that it was dark. As a result, in the second half of the night, there was a convoy loaded with iron armor, which came out of the north gate and slipped away quietly.

On the morning of the 29th, some scholars in the city led the servants and soldiers to open the city gate first and welcome He Lun and Sima You inside.

Looking at Huang Biao and the others who hurried to greet him, Sima You smiled.

People's hearts, people's hearts.

The hearts of the people in Yingchuan and even Yuzhou can be seen in whose hands.

Yingyin Xun, Yanling Yu, Xinye Yu, Changshe Zhong, Runan Ying, Ancheng Zhou, Qiaoxian Xiahou, Peiguo Liu...... And so on dozens of scholars, who are they heading for?

It will neither be Zhang Fang nor Shao Xun.

Yuzhou is a very dense area of the world's scholars, and each family has at least hundreds of private soldiers, and the most is even one or two thousand.

In addition to them, there were also the four kingdoms of Runan, Liang, Qian, and Pei, as well as some principalities and marquises, each with soldiers ranging from 1,000 to 1,000.

Sikong and Liu Qiao fight, most of them watch from the wall, and there are fewer visitors, but it does not mean that their existence can be ignored.

It seems that Shao Xun still has a brain, and he told his subordinates in advance.

Just like when someone slandered in front of Sima Hao, saying that Zhang Fang attacked Luoyang, intending to hold the Son of Heaven hostage and divide one side. Zhang Fang's final retreat may not be without this reason - the other part of the reason is that Shao Xun desperately stuck to Luoyang and did not let Zhang Fang succeed.

Haha, these two people fight each other, wonderful!

Sima You didn't say anything, but He Lun's face was a little unbearable.

He knew that Shao Xun was not there, so he called Huang Biao and Zheng Dong with confidence, and scolded: "You are so bold to let Bendu blow the cold wind in the field all night." is so domineering, who teaches - it must be the two of you who are born thieves, and you will not change your life after joining the forbidden army. ”

Huang Biao stood solemnly, and he turned his ears to the wind.

Zheng Dong was a little uneasy and wanted to explain, but finally didn't know where to start.

"Get out! Take your people, get out of Xuchang, and camp in the east of the city. He Lun finished playing majestic, waved his hand, and said.

"No." Huang Biao and Zheng Dong saluted together, and then left Xuchang City with the sergeants.

Sima You and He Lun rushed to the treasury again and counted carefully.

Sima You doesn't care much about numbers, as long as he doesn't completely empty it and let Shao Xun spit out a little benefit, this matter will pass on the surface.

On King Fanyang's side, there is actually no big problem, because Sikong now wants to personally lead Yuzhou, just like he personally led the governor of Xuzhou and the assassin Shi.

Xuzhou will soon be handed over.

Joining the army, Wang Dao went east to Xuzhou, before and after the saddle, there was no merit and hard work.

Wang Yan was in the court, and he respected Sikong very much and cooperated tacitly.

Therefore, Sikong planned to let Langya Wang Rui serve as the governor of Xuzhou, and Wang Dao assisted him, which could be regarded as selling Wang Yifu a face.

However, Sikong also kept a hand, and the assassin did not give it out.

It is very uncomfortable for a governor who has only military power and no political power, and it is even more uncomfortable for a governor who has only a political power and no military power.

The battle between Fan Yang, the governor of Xuchang, and Liu Qiao, the assassin of Yuzhou, is vivid.

If King Langya is just a governor of Xiapi, considering his skills and prestige, he may not be as good as King Fanyang in Yuzhou.

After Sikong took Yuzhou, he would eventually hand it over.

As Sikong's close person, Sima You knows very well how disappointed Sikong is in Pyeongchang Gong - scolding in private is commonplace.

But Pingchang Gong is Sikong's younger brother in the end, and he is really his own person, no matter what trouble he causes or what basket he stabs, he will not really blame him.

Therefore, after Yuzhou has stabilized for a period of time, it will most likely eventually be handed over to the Duke of Pyeongchang. He has no ability to deal with the complicated situation in Hebei, so he can only go to Yuzhou, a relatively stable place, to make a living.

Jizhou will give King Fanyang.

It didn't treat him too badly. Although Jizhou has been in war since last year, it has a solid foundation, and after calming down the chaos, it is definitely better than Yuzhou to recuperate.

Sikong is really heartbroken for this family.

After pretending to inspect the treasury, Sima You left and went to Fanyang Palace.

As soon as he left, He Lun also relaxed, and said, "Just check it casually, you don't need to be too careful." ”

The officials were stunned at first, and then they all responded.

It's all human spirits, what's not to understand?

There are even more organic ghosts, and they are already secretly wondering if He Dudu is hinting at them because he didn't get any benefits? Then the account will have to be redone.

He Dudu was afraid that he would have to prepare a big one, and they took the opportunity to rub a little oil and water, beautiful, wonderful!

******

After Shao Xun received the messages "sent" from everywhere, he digested it for a while, and then smiled: "If many people are looking for me when they are idle and have nothing to do, I am fighting for Sikong. ”

Tang Jian, who had just returned from Yunzhongwu, was a little worried, and asked, "Lang Jun, the envoy of the King of Runan ordered us to hand over all the looting proceeds, do you really want to give it?" ”

"The price is sky-high, and the money is paid back on the ground." Shao Xun snorted coldly and said, "First send three hundred pairs of damaged armor captured on the battlefield." I don't believe it, but he dares to come to me and ask for it. ”

Sima You was ordered by Sikong to go to Xuchang, seal the treasury, check the accounts, and finally sent an envoy to the Shaobu camp that had marched to Qiaoxian County, saying that they had plundered "two thousand pairs of iron armor" and returned them within a time limit.

As soon as these words came out, Shao Xun understood.

Joke! Lao Tzu has moved more than 6,600 pairs, except for the one that was hacked, most of them have been stored in Yushanwu, and 1,500 of them have even been transported back to Yunzhongwu.

Two thousand pairs, you look down on me?

"Presumably, the generals have also seen it, this is a small punishment and a big commandment." Li Chong sat opposite Shao Xun and said without hesitation: "Even if this matter is finally held high, it is impossible for Sikong to act as if nothing happened. If the two are suspicious, they will eventually ......"

Speaking of this, Li Zhong sighed regretfully.

"You don't like this, but it's true." Shao Xun nodded and said, "It seems that you have to take a strong medicine, and you can prepare for the worst." ”

"What does the general mean?" Li Chong was surprised.

Shao Xun didn't answer and asked: "What do you think of General Tu's son?" ”

"They are all veterans selected by the left and right guards, and many of them have even been in the army for more than ten years and have seen dozens of battles, of course they are excellent." Lee replied.

"How are these generals, how are they doing?" Shao Xun continued to ask.

"Not so good." Li Chong said: "But the life of the people of Luoyang is very difficult, and it is more than enough to be above and more than below. ”

"The farts are less than the top and more than the bottom." Shao Xun said violently and said: "On the way back, I talked to Zhu Erlang, and someone took off his armor, counted the scars on his body one by one, and told me what year, where and how he was injured. Such a warrior, is it enough for you to make him live? Does that make sense? ”

Li Chong was speechless.

"No wonder the sons don't want to fight to the death!" Shao Xun glanced at Li Chong, and then asked, "Do you think I have so much iron armor, should I expand my army?" ”

Li Zhongzhong was abrupt.

Gao Yi, Zhang Gu, Yu An and others surrounded him from afar, looking at him with arms folded.

"Don't worry, if there is anyone who is most unwilling to see the majesty of the imperial court mourned, it must be me." Shao Xun waved his hand and said, "Go and supervise the baggage convoy and let them carefully prepare grain, grass, and equipment." If you figure it out, come to me. ”

"No." Li Zhong left with a heavy heart.

Shao Xun beckoned, asked Gao Yi, Zhang Gu and others to lean over, and said, "A few of you, if you talk about marching and fighting, and if you command Ruoding, none of them can compare to Li Chong, and they are far behind." ”

Several people were discouraged and did not dare to refute.

Shao Xun didn't want to mention these bad things, so he got straight to the point: "After the Xuchang arsenal case, Sikong should be a little wary of me. Originally, I estimated that it was unlikely that I would have the opportunity to be released for three or five years, but now it seems that there may not be any opportunities for ten years. Therefore, the previous plan can no longer be done, and it has to be refounded. ”

In fact, even if there is no Xuchang arsenal case, the possibility of Sima Yue letting him go out is gradually decreasing.

The reason is simple, he has been suffering defeats and does not have enough military talent at hand. If you don't squeeze out your own use value, you won't let him go.

There are some things that you think in this direction, but the reality is often the other direction.

"What's the solution?" Zhang Gu asked dumbfounded.

"Actually, it's also my fault, I used to think too simply." Shao Xun sighed and said, "Jin San, Lu Heigou, and Mao Er have counted recently, and nearly two hundred of the six hundred silver-speared sergeants in Yunzhong, Jinmen, and Danshan have married wives, all of which are this year. ”

The crowd listened quietly.

"They are all displaced people from the state, and some even have one or two children, but they don't pick and choose and marry home." Shao Xun was halfway through laughing, suddenly stopped, coughed, and said, "Actually, I was negligent." They were originally coolies, and many of them couldn't marry a wife in their lives, but now that they have such a good opportunity, of course they can't help it. In this way, I have a problem. ”

"General, isn't that good?" Gao Yi was puzzled: "After marrying a wife and having children, they will take root." ”

It's because they've taken root that makes me depressed! Shao Xun sighed in his heart, but how to explain this kind of thing to others?

People have seven emotions and six desires, not robots, and physiological needs are one of them.

In the three dock forts, the status of the silver-speared sergeant was not low. Each person has five families to provide for, and he goes down to the land in his spare time, and his life is relatively rich. When you're full, that's what comes.

"Don't mention them." Shao Xun said: "I am ready to expand the army, and the first batch is the general Erlang. If you have someone you know, you can help persuade you. ”

"General, where did you get the money for raising soldiers?" Gao Yi asked.

His family's business is the most sensitive to money, and as soon as he speaks, he goes straight to the core.

"I also grabbed some money this time, so I dealt with it first. This time I went south, I took a fancy to a place, and I will take you to see it after the class teacher. Shao Xun said: "Let's do this first, it's important to break Liu Qiao first." ”
