Yingyin is the Xuchang City of later generations, Yingyin County, Yingchuan County, Yuzhou during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Changshe County, Xuzhou County, Henan Province in the Tang Dynasty, and Changshe County, Yingchang Prefecture, Jingbei Road in the Song Dynasty.

Less than thirty miles east of Yingyin is Xuchang, the capital of Yuzhou.

From the perspective of military and transportation, the status of Yingyin County far exceeds that of Xuchang, because several east-west and north-south post roads converge in this county.

From here to the northwest, through Yangzhai, Yangcheng, Yuyuan Pass can reach Luoyang.

From here, you can go west to Xiangcheng.

From here, to the south, you can reach Jiangxia through Runan.

From here, you can go north to Xingyang.

From here to the east, through Xuchang, you can reach the hinterland of Yuzhou.

There is no doubt that it is a place that is well connected.

During the Taiping period, business travel flourished, and a large amount of goods could be accumulated.

In the war years, that is, all sides will come to, who will let you build the road well and build more.

Yingyang Pavilion, just listen to the name, you know that it is located on the north bank of Yingshui.

It's hard to say how much food the Tinghou has.

There are a few hundred households, and more than 2,000 or 3,000 households, which are about the same as those of the county government.

Xun Xian, the Marquis of Yingyang Pavilion, was sealed after the Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu.

At that time, the court discussed the attack on Wu, Xun Miao and Jia Chong thought that it was impossible, but Emperor Wu Sima Yan did not listen to them and ordered to attack Wu, which was indeed successful.

After the war, Xun Xun was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and because he was in charge of the edict, he was awarded one of his sons as the Pavilion Marquis, 1,000 households of food, and 1,000 horses of silk.

This is not counting, and his grandson Xunxian was named the Marquis of Yingyang Pavilion, and the food is also a thousand households.

In other words, Xun Xian, the Marquis of Yingyang Pavilion, has been in office for almost 30 years, and with the power of the Xun family, Xun Xian actually controls more land and household registration than at the beginning.

In fact, Xun Xian's family is longitudinal and horizontal, and the manor fields have long been out of Yingyin County and deep into the territory of Linying County next door, totaling more than 160 hectares. Although he is not a big landowner, he should not be underestimated.

"Hao Chang!" Shao Xun stood on a small dirt slope, looked at the fields full of wheat, and ordered.

"The end will be." Hao Chang responded.

"You led a thousand men to this tuntian. Go to the ground when you are busy, practice when you are free. After Shao Xun finished the first half of the sentence, he pointed at the horsewhip and said, "The field at the river bay is also occupied." From now on, this is the garrison of the Yingyin Tuntian Army. ”

"Renovate the manor, and Chen Liangfu will send someone to send the money, grain, bricks, and wood needed." Shao Xun continued.

"What did it change?" Hao Chang asked.

"It was changed to Cangcheng, with a limit of 3,000 soldiers, 300,000 grains, and 100,000 bundles of hay."

"Yes." Hao Chang should get down.

His family is still in Luyang, and he will send someone to pick him up after a while.

There is nothing to be dissatisfied with, Yingchuan's living conditions are stronger than Luyang's, although the safety is not as good as Luyang's.

"Let's take over the fields and manors now." Shao Xun waved his hand and said.

"No." Hao Chang immediately ordered five hundred Hebei old men and five hundred Tunding prisoners to take over the manor of Xun Xian's family.

He had already seen that the huge manor was empty, and except for a few people sent by the Xun family to handle the handover, there were hardly any villagers, subordinates, servants and maids - there was only one reason, they were gone.

In the distance, a large group of people came.

Hou Xunjiao of Jibei County rode a tall horse, with more than 100 horses in front and back, holding a halberd and a horse lance.

There were more than 1,000 troops behind him, armed with guns, shields, or bows, escorting hundreds of vehicles.

The car was full of goods and grain, and there were thousands of pigs and sheep behind the convoy - it seemed to be bleeding, but it was not a heavy hemorrhage.

The Xun family's men and horses stopped three hundred paces away.

Xun Jian continued to walk forward with a few clansmen, stopped twenty steps away, and said loudly: "Chen Hou is here, and if you miss the distance, you hope to forgive your sins." ”

Xun Xuan's words fell, and several clansmen behind him had different faces.

How to say it, with the Xun family's family and the power of the court, this can be said to be quite soft, and even "humiliating".

Young people study and practice martial arts at home, and they are not sensitive enough to the changes in the outside world, coupled with their youth and vigor, they are a little dissatisfied with the attitude of the clan to calm things down.

Of course, the old people of the Xun family would not think like them.

Xun's wealth is extreme, and what should be done now is to keep the wealth accumulated by the sages of this generation. Therefore, everything should be stable, and don't easily tear your face with others and consume the strength of your family.

The troubled times have come, and if the soldiers of the trilogy family are too bad, they will not be able to protect the family.

"The prince is polite." Shao Xun made a gesture on the horse, looking very arrogant, and only heard him ask: "Yingyang Pavilion Marquis is sick, it is sad." But I don't know where his family is? ”

"The nieces and nephews are overly sad and have moved south with their people." Xun Jian replied expressionlessly.

Shao Xun didn't speak, just sat on horseback and watched him quietly.

The south wind suddenly rose, blowing the military flag whirring.

Under the banner, thousands of soldiers of the Silver Spear Army stood solemnly with weapons, and also quietly looked at the people of the Xun family.

The atmosphere gradually became a little more subtle.

Xun Xun's heart tightened, and he was a little worried that Shao Xun would break out and make things uncontrollable.

"Sigh the law ......," Yi let out a neighing from the war horse under Du Manyu's crotch.

The knights behind him reassured their horses, as their horses were snorting uneasily or scraping the ground with their hooves.

Xun Zhen's face changed, but he was quite calm and did not lose his temper.

The performance of the young children of the Xun clan behind him was uneven.

Someone was very calm and expressionless.

Someone was flustered and pale.

There are even people who can't resist the pressure and subconsciously take a step or two back.

Shao Xun suddenly smiled, got off his horse lightly, walked towards Xun Xuan, and said, "It's okay to go to Nandu." The world is chaotic, and there are indeed many people who go south to Wudi, or they may be able to preserve their families and continue their children's lives. ”

As he spoke, he walked to Xun Gan's side, grabbed his arm familiarly, and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Jibei came to the labor army, and he is grateful, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, why not drink it hard, and see Xun's handsomeness?" ”

"I can't ask for it." Xun Jian was held by the arm of a lowly soldier of the Drill Sect, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart, but there was no discoloration on his face, but a smile on his face, and he immediately responded.

Shao Xun smiled slightly, and immediately ordered to cook sheep and slaughter cattle, and the whole army was drunk - the whole audience consumed, and naturally Xun Gongzi paid for it.

He knew that Xun was still dissatisfied in his heart, and he felt quite humiliated.

Xun Jian brought more than 100 cavalry and more than 1,000 foot soldiers, all of whom looked decent, even if they were not as good as the old soldiers of the Silver Spear Army, but they would not be too bad.

This is the old foundation of the Xun family.

In the end, it is a long-established family with a long history, and under the management of many years, it can always pull out some elite troops.

But the upper echelons of these families are too rotten, dull, and timid.

The style of running the family business is extremely conservative, and he does not dare to gamble.

This state reminded him of the late Tang Dynasty in history.

The once glorious towns of Weibo, Chengde and other towns obviously had a large number of household registrations, abundant money and food, a large number of troops, and excellent armor, but the entire feudal town was gloomy and had many internal contradictions.

Perhaps, this is the difference between an emerging group and an established family.

Yingchuan, an old money family, looked down on an upstart like Shao Xun, but on the other hand, he had to admit his growing strength and had to give in.

If you continue like this, don't be schizophrenic!

During the banquet, the Silver Spear Army and the Volunteer Army selected some elite soldiers to perform various skills in public.

In the evening, even the whole army performed a formation.

The smooth, fast, and precise movements are full of rhythmic beauty, and even Xun Gan, who doesn't like military affairs very much, can't take his eyes off it.

After reading it, I sighed even more in my heart.

The Xun family has been operating for several generations, and they have only raised more than 2,000 elite troops that can really be played, and they are reluctant to consume them, and they have always been the treasures at the bottom of the box.

But in the troubled times, there are always so many people who take advantage of the situation, and through just a few years of hard work, they suddenly surpass the family's more than 100 years of operation.

Shao Xun won't talk about it, Shi Le, a slave who originally farmed in Chiping Manor, the elites who dared to fight under him far exceeded the Xun family, and they came from all over the world, and if they didn't hesitate to suffer casualties, they could completely destroy the Xun family.

Is there something wrong with this world?

Why is the accumulation of more than 100 years or even hundreds of years of the family family not as good as these self-made slaves (Shi Le), military households (Shao Xun), county officials (Zhang Chang), Wubao Shuai (Zhao Gu), Hanmen (Wang Mi) and even Heavenly Master Dao believers?

Which of the above people has a higher starting point than the scholars?

Wang Mi, who has the best family background, is also a grandfather's generation is Taishou, and his father is unknown, and in his generation, he is no different from the local tyrants in the countryside.

Shi Le, who had the worst family background, was beaten to the point that there were only eighteen horsemen left, but he seized the opportunity, pulled Liu Yuan's tiger skin, and persuaded the people who were not a tribe before to take refuge in a few words, and they were repeatedly defeated.

Shao Xun is just a serf soldier, and he can also seize the opportunity and soar into the sky.

These people have surpassed the accumulation of more than 100 years of accumulation in strength of the family in just a few years, which makes people sigh.

Perhaps, times have really changed.

Although the family is rich in clothes and food, and high-ranking officials are generous, but these are also a cage, firmly restraining their hands and feet, making them sluggish and clumsy, and doing nothing when the great era comes, and being quickly surpassed by others.

But what's the use of figuring it out?

Can it be changed? It doesn't seem to work.

Xun Jian even pessimistically guessed that even if it was a matter of life and death, they would not be able to make any essential changes.

In the end, it is already the best result to be attached to the emerging ruler and continue to maintain a certain privilege and status.

It's rotten!

On February 29, Shao Xun ended his martial arts in Yingyin, sent troops to Xuchang, and gathered at the Yingchuan clan here to discuss the strategy of protecting Sangzi.

Xun Jian also followed.

This is a political attitude, and the signal is clear.

In addition, the news of Hou Xunxian's "violent illness and death" of Yingyang Pavilion spread quickly, and everyone understood what to do.

But that's not a bad thing.

When Wang Mi came over, there were more than 100,000 people, and the momentum was extremely huge.

Seriously, if the Yingchuan clan can unite, each family will not hide their selfishness, contribute the most capable elite troops, give out generous rewards, replenish equipment, money and food, form a coalition army, and fight to the death with Wang Mi, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer.

But can they get to the point? Dogs don't believe it!

And since they can't unite and can't protect their own security, they can only rely on outsiders.

The conference in Xuchang is a conference of unity and victory......

Shao Xun not only received a lot of money and food, but also "borrowed" a total of 300 elite soldiers from various warriors and sent them back to Yangcheng County to set up a defense government army.

Three hundred people, everyone will share it, and there will be dozens of people in each family, which is a bit painful, but acceptable.

I don't know if they've ever heard the story of boiling frogs in warm water.

In Shao Xun's view, the unorganized and scattered family is just an ATM.

You can't hurt them all at once, then they'll resist.

Just play slowly......
