A drizzle of rain drifted from the sky, gradually extinguishing the fires throughout the manor.

Xie Bao's face was ugly.

To be honest, he wanted to rectify the He family, but not in this way.

However, he didn't have a choice, and Chen Hou didn't give him a chance to choose. At that time, if he refused to express his position in public, he would not be able to get out of Chen Hou's camp.

He also fantasized that he would refuse Chen Hou's coercion in public, but after all, he didn't dare to do so, and others would think he was a fool.

How much did your Xie family suffer from the He family? Now that someone is helping you vent your anger, you still don't appreciate it, are you a fool?

Perhaps, even his brother will not understand him.

The He family is too bullying, you have offended the king of the East China Sea, offended Chen Hou, offended the officials and people of the county and county where you once served, offended all the families of Chen County, and offended the people of Yangxia Sangzi, no one will speak for you, no one will be aggrieved for you.

Killing you will only make more people applaud.

It's a pit, you have to jump if you don't jump, there's no way.

Yuan Chong glanced at Xie Qi, sighed, and said, "Young Confucian, why are you so depressed? There is a way for the He family to die, even if Chen Hou does not kill him, sooner or later he will be wiped out. In Luoyang City, I don't know how many people are staring at the He family's goods, just waiting to divide them. With the few servants of their family in Luoyang, they can't hold it. ”

Xie Pei glanced at Yuan Chong, and after a while, he said, "Yuan Gong, it's not that I don't want to take revenge on the He clan, but the He clan shouldn't perish like this. As soon as this example is opened, what kind of dignity does the scholar clan have? ”

When Yuan Chong heard this, he asked rhetorically: "Did Zhang Fang kill less?" Did Gou Xi kill less? What is the dignity of the nobles in their eyes? ”

Xie was stunned, but still said: "This world shouldn't be like this......"

Yuan Chong sneered and said, "Does the young Confucian think that the imperial court is still there, shouldn't there be such no rules?" The old man advises you, don't say much. Chen Hou is already very disciplined, which of the He family's bad things is fake? If you really want to investigate, should you be damned? Moreover, the year before last, the king of the East China Sea led himself to Yanzhou pastor, did he have a decree? After the death of Wang Bin, the assassin of Jizhou, Wang Jun of Youzhou led the history of the assassin of Jizhou and asked the imperial court? Nanyang Wang Mo, the governor of Yongliang and Qin Yi, the military of the four states, why did he hand over the sword given by the Son of Heaven to Zhang Liang and entrust Liangzhou with the power of life and death without authorization? He is not qualified to manage Liangzhou! ”

Xie was speechless.

Strictly speaking, these things that Sima Yue, Wang Jun, and Sima Mo did were all conspiracy, but did anyone pursue them?

No, everyone acted as if they didn't see it.

Of course, this is not to say that Chen Hou is a good person, he is just as domineering and has done a lot of things that are like complicity.

He has one thing in common with Sima Yue, Sima Mo, and Wang Jun, that is, the court can't be investigated, or can't be investigated.

"Taught." Xie Qi arched his hand and said with a forced smile.

"It's okay, just figure it out." Yuan Chong waved his hand and said.

In fact, he knew that the reason why Xie Qi was so depressed was not because of how loyal he was to the imperial court.

Like himself, he was loyal to the order that would allow them to enjoy their wealth and prosperity.

The order was blatantly disrupted before his eyes, and the impact was not ordinarily great, so he was a little frightened.

If it was the king of the East China Sea or Wang Taiwei who killed the people, it might be easier for people to accept, but it was Chen Hou Shaoxun, who could only say - alas!

"Wan Sheng!" There were enthusiastic cheers ahead.

The two of them looked for prestige, but saw Chen Hou riding his horse and came to the outside of the He manor, and they didn't know what was announced, and the various clans who had just finished the battle cheered in unison.

Yuan Chong sighed silently, as if he saw an ambitious military leader rising rapidly.

But he quickly adjusted his mentality and smiled.

A choice was made a long time ago, wasn't it? That being the case, what is there to complain about?

Most of them are just rewarding the participating troops with a little floating wealth and inviting them to buy military hearts, which is not a big deal.

Because this is not a forbidden army, a county soldier, or any other unit, but their private army.

The tribe has lived in their Wubao manor for generations, and the prestige of the main family has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and their family members are hostages in the manor, unless they are taken away, it is difficult to be taken away.

"Let's go, let's see." Yuan Chong beckoned and said.

Xie Li followed silently, and after a while, he came to the main gate of the manor, where the representatives of all the clans were basically here.

In addition, there seem to be a few more people.

“…… Cao Yun is the foundation of the country, after the king takes office, he should be diligent and cautious, and must not slack off. Chen Hou's voice came from afar: "The governor of Zhou is a minister of the imperial court, you have nothing to do and make a few more trips to Shouchun, and work together to transport the grain into Beijing." In this way, the merit is great. ”

"The servant strictly follows the teachings of Chen Hou and will do things with his heart." Chen Yan replied.

Yuan Chong and Xie Pei walked over, but saw that a person who was much older than Chen Hou had just finished respectfully asking for instructions.

The scene is a little funny, but in the face of absolute strength, it seems to be very natural.

Seeing the two coming, Shao Xun nodded, then attached it to Chen Yan's ear, and said in a low voice: "Hefei troops, you must firmly grasp it in your hands." The stakes are high, and it's important to remember. ”

"I'll save it." Chen Yan nodded emphatically.

Hefei does not transport many troops, but there are still thousands of people. And with a large number of ships in his hands, the value is very huge.

He knew that Chen Hou had a lot of elite soldiers and fierce generals around him, and he didn't have any advantages. Then, there is only another way, Cao Yun Bing Ding is good at sailing, this is a huge advantage, must be grasped well.

Shao Xun saw that he understood, and his heart was satisfied.

I like this kind of person who is sober and sensible, if Chen Yan does things well, he may not have the opportunity to soar in the future.

In Henan, how can you fight with an enemy with a large number of cavalry, how can you have a formed sailor? Even if it is just a "fake water division" like Hefei Troop Transport, it is of great value.

After talking to Chen Yan, he looked at Yang Jun again and said, "Hui Yan is here, there must be something important." ”

Yang Jun nodded, and looked at everyone with an embarrassed face.

"Come over here." Shao Xun dragged him to the manor.

The soldiers of the Silver Lance had entered and taken over the places and began to move goods.

The He family is indeed rich, this is just a manor, and thousands of dollars and more than 10,000 horses of silk were found, and other goods were not counted.

It's no wonder that they can eat 20,000 yuan a day, and the He brothers spend seven or eight thousand yuan a year just to eat, not to mention other extravagant expenses.

This is one of the richest families Shao Xun has seen in many years.

"The Captain sent me to ask, will Caoyun be affected?" Yang Jun got straight to the point and asked directly.

"Isn't Situ in Chenliu?" Shao Xun asked rhetorically.

"Situ will leave sooner or later, he is just venting his evil anger." Yang Jun sighed: "That is, the left-behind soldiers and horses who bullied Wang Mi." In the battle of sour jujube, 3,000 enemies were killed, and I heard that the losses of the beggars, the left and right armies, and the kingdom army were no less than this. The White Horse side also killed fiercely, and the armies attacked in turn, overnumbering the crowd, but they could not take it down. Situ is afraid that he is impatient, and he wants to go to Puyang. ”

"Cao Yun is out of Junyi, and I must go to Xingyang, where does the Taiwei want me to go?" Shao Xun asked.

"It's best to stabilize Chen Liu and Xingyang." Yang Jun said: "These two counties have been fighting for many years, the counties and townships are dilapidated, and the troops are weak. ”

"What does the Son of Heaven mean?" Shao Xun asked again.

Yang Jun turned his head to look around and said in a low voice: "When Situ was in Beijing, the Son of Heaven was uneasy and didn't dare to make any moves. Now that Situ is out of Yanzhou, the mind of the Son of Heaven is alive. Taiwei felt that although the Son of Heaven hated Situ deeply, he didn't have a good opinion of Chen Hou. Situ went to Yanzhou, Chen Hou was close at hand, and in time, if someone picked it up, there would be trouble. ”

Shao Xun's face became solemn.

Sima Chi is such a person, give him a few colors, and he dares to open a dyeing workshop.

Sima Yue, who once pinched him, is gone, he may feel that he is doing it again, and it is uncomfortable not to do something.

So, who is he targeting?

Sima Yue still attracted his hatred the most, followed by him Shao.

The thorn of the Taibai Star Essence has always been pierced in the flesh, and the Son of Heaven will definitely be jealous of him.

There are pros and cons.

The rumors seem to be in the past, but the effects are long-lasting.

The good thing is that many people believe in this matter and dare to take refuge in him Shao, especially some children of the scholar clan.

Shao Xun would not be naïve to think that relying on force alone can make the big families come to vote one after another, this is only a necessary condition, not a sufficient condition, let alone a sufficient condition.

The disadvantage is that he has made the Son of Heaven even more jealous, and his ability to attract hatred has risen sharply, after all, Luoshui has really broken off.

If Sima Chi gets the chance, he definitely doesn't mind killing Shao Xun, that's for sure.

"Taiwei thinks that if the prince leads his troops to protect the luck, then the Son of Heaven will throw a rat bogey, and hold some thoughts for the time being." Yang Jun glanced at Shao Xun's face and continued: "Everyone wants to eat. In this matter, the Son of Heaven cannot disobey everyone. ”

"Taiwei is really an old man who seeks the country." Shao Xun said with emotion.

If the Son of Heaven wants to do anything, someone has to help him. In this meeting, maintaining the smooth flow of Cao Yun is the top priority, and it is politically correct, if Sima Chi ignores this and insists on messing around, he will definitely be advised by the ministers, even including the so-called loyal ministers who have thrown themselves to him.

"Taiwei also got the news that Shi Le may come to Xingyang ......" Speaking of this, he called his entourage, took out a letter from his baggage, and handed it to Shao Xun.

Shao Xun took it, looked at the seal first, and then took out the letter to read.

After reading it, I folded it and put it away, thinking about it for a long time.

Since his journey eastward in February, he has been doing one thing: integrating the forces of Yuzhou.

So far, Yingchuan and Chenjun should be relatively stable—at least on the surface.

In the event of a war with Shile and Wang Mi, Yingchuan, Xiangcheng, and Chenjun could provide a large number of masters, money, and grain, and the three places also had a certain production capacity, which could supplement some military equipment, as well as chariots, horses, and draft animals.

It is rumored that Shile has more than 20,000 cavalry, and if he intercepts his own grain route, then he can also use the ships under the account of Yang Bao, the commander of the Duzhi Colonel, to transfer materials along the Suiyang Canal and Bianqu.

If there are not enough ships, Chen Jun, Chen Liu, and the southern state of Qian and Ruyin, there are still a large number of scholars who are engaged in trading, and they have a lot of ships in their hands, which can be temporarily requisitioned.

In fact, this is the meaning of integrating Yuzhou.

If you want to fight an enemy with a large number of cavalry, you must use the terrain, such as the mountainous area of western Henan, and second, you must make good use of the river.

He was not afraid of frontal combat.

If Shi Leruo was dizzy and dared to use cavalry to charge Shao Xun's infantry, he would definitely let Da Hu know why the flowers were so red.

But if Shi Le bypasses his main infantry force, uses mobility to intercept the grain route, and even raids the area of Xiangcheng and Liangxian, it will be more troublesome.

Shao Xun hadn't thought of a good way to deal with it, but he knew that he had to first ensure that his main infantry force had constant food, which was the most basic.

Make sure to make good use of the canal!

In addition, the government soldiers who also have mobility should be used as a reserve to defend the lair. As soon as the enemy cavalry breaks through, immediately chase after them.

While cavalry has the ability to maneuver at high speeds, it also means huge consumption.

The government soldiers are fighting on the inner line, and they can prepare horses and forage in advance at each node, with sufficient supplies and sufficient horsepower.

Fight for mobility to the end, Shi Le will definitely not be able to fight them, and will be caught up by the government soldiers.

Without the mobility of the cavalry, it is just a dish in the government soldiers.

Shi Le must not be allowed to easily obtain supplies in Yuzhou!

Some families have too soft knees and are easy to kneel. If you don't integrate in advance and say hello, someone will send money and food to Shile and spend money to eliminate the disaster.

It's a pity, if he is given another year and a half to completely stabilize Yuzhou, even if he is a large group of cavalry, he may not be able to run horses at will in Yuzhou.

Man can endure a moment of hunger, but a horse cannot.

"I know the meaning of the captain." Shao Xun said: "Hui Yan can return to Luoyang as soon as possible and ask the Son of Heaven to issue an edict." As soon as the order arrives, our department can go north. ”

"Okay." Yang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Hou does have a big mind, a big pattern, and a big heart, and he is really serious.

With him, this year's luck may be maintained.
