Shi Le retreated, but did not leave completely, but continued to entrench in Puyang State, and fought three battles with Sima Yue, all of which were victorious, but there were not many casualties.

After the onslaught on Puyang on the tenth day, it was not governed.

The battle was fought very fiercely, and Shile lost more than 7,000 people before and after. But he didn't seem to care, and instead drew 3,000 strong men from the battalion that had broken down from the siege to supplement the main force.

After Kui'an, Zhixiong, and Taobao returned with the remnants of the defeated army, Shi Le looked at almost half of the troops under their tent and had the idea of retreating.

But Liu Cong just commanded Zhao Gu and Shi Chao to attack Huai County, killing Yingye, and is on the rise, if he doesn't leave, how can Shi Le and Wang Mi's generation go?

However, the news from Pingyang quickly relieved the siege of Shile: the Son of Heaven was seriously ill and was afraid of going big.

When Liu Cong heard about this, he entrusted the army to Liu Xian, the king of Quyang, and went back to "fulfill his filial piety".

Shi Le is afraid of Liu Cong, but he is not afraid of Liu Xian, the difference in status between the two is too great.

So he crossed the river from Puyang, entered Dunqiu, and after some captivity, he went to Yecheng to eat.

Wang Mi crossed the river from Baima and entered Ji County, but the remaining troops withdrew in a hurry, and were broken by the two divisions of Song Draw and Qiu Guang, the general of the right army, Wang Bing, and beheaded more than 2,000 ranks.

Liu Xian didn't move either.

The country will be mourned, and anyone with a little brain knows that the town is quiet.

However, the matter of attacking Luoyang in the south may not be over, everything depends on what the new emperor of Pingyang thinks.

Shao Xun soldiers in the suburbs of Xingyang.

He didn't have the heart to fight now, and spent most of the day dealing with the documents sent by Luonan, Xiangcheng, Yingchuan, Chenjun and other places that required him to make decisions.

In order to share the pressure, he transferred the Dianshu Cheng Mao Bang, the Guocheng Pei Xuan, the literary Yang Yanzhi, and the Zuo Chang servant Hu Wufu to assist him in handling official business.

This is also an investigation.

If you can't satisfy him, next time you will change a group of people until you find the one you like.

"Is Pei Chun still sick?" Shao Xun finished reading an official document and handed it aside.

After Mao Bang reviewed it, he began to use the seal.

Shao Xun glanced at him, covered a line of words on the official document with his hand, and asked, "How much land does the Yingyin Tuntian Army have, and how many hukou does it have?" ”

"There are 71 hectares of Ueda, 99 hectares of Nakata, and 34 hectares of Shimoda, with 1,308 households and 1,823 soldiers." Mao Bang replied.

"Yes, no fools." Shao Xun withdrew his hand and said, "Send it out." ”

"No." Mao Bang responded.

Yang Jianzhi watched the "little game" between the master and apprentice with great interest, and said: "I heard that the prince intercepted the grain, and the illness was cured again. ”

Shao Xun said: "Let Pei Gong teach him a lesson." ”

Xingyang Taishou Pei Chun is the son of Pei Kang, the elder brother of Concubine Pei, and his cousin, Pei Xian, the former assassin of Yuzhou, is as incompetent.

The Hun army pressed the border, but he didn't run, but he didn't have any ideas, no way, and he didn't know what to do at all.

Shao Xun felt that if he hadn't personally led his troops to Xingyang, Pei Chun would probably have been captured and killed by Shi Le—and he didn't know what happened to him in history.

Fortunately, he still knows each other.

As soon as he came, he was "sick", he didn't care about anything, he just lay down and let you do it.

Shao Xun felt very helpless, I want to see if you can use it, why do I want to grab the land? Xingyang, a place like a front-line military battle, what did I rob?

Now it seems that Pei Kang's sons are not very good.

Moreover, this is also an old wall lamp......

The Pei family prepared for the Eight Kings Rebellion very early, and they ended up during the Jia Nanfeng period, suffering two heavy blows in a row. The family's spokesman in the court was swept away and had to go home to lick his wounds.

Seven or eight years ago, when Shao Xun first met Concubine Pei, the Pei family avoided participating in politics like a snake and scorpion, and even his son-in-law Sima Yue refused to invest. But as the situation changed, they couldn't help it again in the past two years.

If only Pei Dun sought the position of Xuzhou Assassin at the beginning, it could still be regarded as his personal behavior, and then it would be a little different.

Pei Hui and Pei Quan, who were born in the Pei family branch, served as Hongnong Taishou and Hanoi Taishou respectively.

In the back, the main vein also begins to enter.

Xuzhou Assassin Pei Dun and Xingyang Taishou Pei Chun, both of whom are Pei Kang's own sons.

His nephew Pei Xian (the son of the third brother Pei Kai) served as the assassin of Yuzhou.

His nephew Pei Bao (the son of the eldest brother Pei Li) served as the assassin of Qinzhou.

Last year, he sent another son, Pei Shao (Yizuo Pei He), to Jianye and served as a staff member beside Sima Rui.

Among a large number of nephews, there are not only those who work for their own families, but also those who seek refuge in Sima Yue and Sima Rui.

If you count the investment in Shao Xun's side, the Pei family actually stepped on three boats, which is awesome.

Shao Xun has slowly gotten used to the foundation of the family, but it doesn't mean that he can accept this kind of thing in his heart.

But they have to be used now......

"Yang Gong, what news has come back about this grain cut-off?" Shao Xun looked at Yang Yanzhi and asked.

Yang Jian pretended to be silent for a while.

Hu Wufu just went out and hasn't come back yet.

Mao Bang, who is here, is a student of Chen Hou and should be very reliable.

Pei Hui was born in the far branch of the Pei family. Chen Hou asked such an important question in front of him, he must have been tempted and trusted, just like he had just tested whether Mao Bang had any intentions.

So, he spoke: "There are many discussions in the court, the Son of Heaven is displeased, there may be angels coming over in a while, and the prince should be prepared." ”

"What's the worst?" Shao Xun asked.

"Resignation." Yang Yanzhi said.

Shao Xun thought about it for a while, and the resignation was not a big deal. It's a big deal, he turned the Yamen Army into a government soldier collectively, what can you do with me?

If he really came to this point, the imperial court would have no reason to order him to fight this and that.

Of course, Shao Xun could not really watch the imperial court be destroyed by the Xiongnu.

Once the orthodox son of heaven is gone, will Jianye's Sima Rui "supervise the country"?

This is the biggest risk, because it means that the whole attitude towards the South is beginning to become unpredictable and no longer as clear as it is now.

As for supporting a new Son of Heaven, it is even more impossible.

The family can be supported, what kind of bullshit background do you Shao Xun have, and you also want to support the Son of Heaven? Sick, right?

Therefore, he and the Luoyang Imperial Court actually have a cold relationship, but there is an internal game, which is very complicated.

"Actually, the prince was reckless this time." Yang Yanzhi reminded euphemistically: "Even if you want to control people, you don't have to be so fierce. ”

Shao Xun was a little stunned. That's what Yang Jianzhi thinks of him? Entirely from the point of view of interests?

"Yang Gong, in the past, I followed Mizi Hui into Guanzhong to conquer the king of Hejian. Seeing the Xianbei killing, he was indignant and slaughtered 5,000 Xianbei cavalry in Chang'an City. Shao Xun said slowly: "Captain Mi is very puzzled and tries his best to dissuade him, guess what I said at the time?" ”

Yang Yanzhi shook his head.

"I said that Xianbei is cruel and cruel, and harms the people, if you don't see it, forget it, but now I see it with my own eyes, if I still let it go, how is it different from the people of the fly camp and the dogs?" Shao Xun said: "Today, I see that the people are hungry and hungry, and they are easy to eat, if they are still indifferent, it is too cold-blooded, and it is not the husband's doing." ”

Yang Yanzhi glanced at Shao Xun, as if thinking about the sincerity of his words.

The slaughter of 5,000 Xianbei cavalry certainly harmed Sima Yue, but it was not without benefit to Shao Xun.

At that time, the relationship between Shao Xun and Sima Yue was actually very stiff. Perhaps, Sima Yue has already given birth to a bit of murderous intent in his heart, and he wants to get rid of Shao Xun as soon as possible.

Killing 5,000 Xianbei people made the relationship between Sima Yue and Wang Jun cold, cut off a large arm of his help, and at the same time relieved a major threat he faced.

Yang Yanzhi doesn't believe in any feelings and righteousness, he likes to analyze everything from the perspective of interests.

In his opinion, Shao Xun's methods were a little more intense and a little inconsiderate, but it was a ruthless trick.

This time the interception of grain to help the victims is actually a means for Shao Xun to expand his strength.

said it so benevolently and righteously, it only made Yang Yanzhi feel that he was acting.

However, you love to act, and the old man will accompany you to act.

Acting is also an indispensable skill for those who achieve great things, and Shao Xun is quite popular in this regard, but it is not in vain that the sheep family sticks it up to help him.

"It's the old man who thinks about it, and I'm ashamed." Yang Yanzhi arched his hand and sighed.

After sighing, he changed his words again and said: "The matter has come to this point, and it is indeed meaningless to argue about right and wrong. The old man thought about it in the morning, Chen Jun controlled the key point of Cao Yun, when Cao Wei's hometown, in terms of the imperial court, it was really a heroic town. The prince is not only condensed in the posture of Guiyu, but also bears the responsibility of the pillar. If hundreds of thousands of displaced people are recruited and reclaimed for land, in time, one will feed the army and the other will support the country. ”

Shao Xun bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and then looked at Mao Bang.

Mao Bang immediately said: "You can also praise the great cause of the prince and the marquis." ”

Shao Xun's iron sand palm slapped heavily on Mao Bang's shoulder, and said, "I just want to destroy the disaster and promote the emperor's style." ”

After speaking, he looked at Yang Yanzhi and said sincerely: "Today, Chen County has obtained more than 100,000 grains, which can support more than 10,000 families to live until the autumn bean harvest." But to manage so many people, you have to help the sheep. ”

Li re-set the standard, Shao Xun did not change it, and agreed.

On average, a family is given seven liters of grain a day, and more than two liters a month. If you plant miscellaneous grains this month, it will probably be harvested in September, and if you leave a little surplus, you will have to raise them for about four months, then it will cost eight or nine hundreds.

As a matter of fact, among the victims, most of them are large and medium-sized, and there are few small ones, so the food expenditure will definitely be more than that, but only more.

When planting miscellaneous grains, in order to make them strong, they should send more rations ten days and half a month in advance.

Counting the expenditure on seeds, 180,000 grains can only support the survival of more than 10,000 households.

"I heard that there are more than a thousand students taught by Junhou, why don't you send them to take care of them." Yang Yanzhi asked.

"There aren't so many people who have learned." Shao Xun said: "And most of them are in the army, and only a few dozen civil servants are also distributed to various counties, even if some are transferred, it is still not enough." ”

The letter of the sheep is gone.

In fact, in a few years, you can only be able to understand the rough writing and ink, and if you want to manage the people, you still need to experience.

At this meeting, Chen Hou could indeed only turn to the Shi clan for help, asking them to provide talents to help him take care of civil affairs.

There is a huge talent gap that he can't fill in a short period of time. And the larger the site, the bigger the gap.

"I wonder how many homeless people the prince wants to resettle?" Yang Yanzhi asked.

"Fifty thousand households will always need it, and if it is not good, there must be forty thousand." Shao Xun said: "There are no more than 10,000 households gathered here, and there will be more and more in the future." ”

Rao was prepared, but Yang Yanzhi was still startled.

What a big appetite!

What a big ambition!

What a big spirit!

"Chen County doesn't have that many borderlands, right?" He sat up straight and asked.

"Maybe there is...... Shao Xun said: "Even if Chen Jun doesn't have it, there will always be one if you count Liang Guo, right?" If it wasn't enough, I heard that Li Hong, the homeless marshal, led more than 5,000 families to the south, looted Xincai, and killed the Gonghe of Langling County, and there should be a large area of borderless land in the south. ”

At the turn of the two Jin Dynasty, there was a lot of wild land in the old Runan Kingdom, and how much wasteland there was. You don't even need to grab it from the hands of the scholars with your dirty hands, just open up the wasteland.

Of course, the cost of land reclamation is high, isn't it fragrant to directly rob the cooked land of the Gonghe family in Langling County?

"Is there so much food?" Yang Jian wondered.

"There will always be." Shao Xun replied without hesitation.

Yang Jianzhi understood.

He was subconsciously a little worried, and a little excited.

In his mind, he had already begun to calculate quickly, calculating the gains and losses.

The Yang family has no idea of crossing south for the time being, but Taishan County has been repeatedly looted by Cao Wei, and the losses are not small.

Yang Jianzhi even doubted that the Yang family would be forced to become untenable and finally forced to cross south? But if you can develop in the north, isn't it better than going to Wudi? Is it so easy to give up your family business?

"Yang Gong, the matter of Chang Hegong becoming the Minister of Lu has been decided, and he will be able to take office in a few days." Shao Xun reminded again.

When Yang Jian heard this, he said, "It is incumbent upon us to help the victims." The prince and the prince relaxed, and the Yang clan will definitely send the handsome people in the clan to help. ”

Lu Guoxiang is operated by the Yang family, but Lu Zhi, the assassin of Yuzhou, has no obstacles. In this matter, Chen Hou was worthy of the Yang family, and let the Yang family obtain the position of local taishou with real power. Even if you reciprocate, you have to help him.

"With the words of the sheep father, it is a big deal." Shao Xun said with a smile.

"Changhe Gong" is Yang Chen, and the word is Changhe.

Yang Chen's grandfather Yang Mi and Yang Yanzhi's grandfather Yang Tan are brothers and have a very close relationship.

In the eighth year of Yuankang (298), Shi Chong, who served as the governor of Xuzhou and the history of the assassin, and Gao Dan were dismissed from office because of the insult of drinking, and Yang Chen took office and served as the governor of Xuzhou for two years, and then transferred to the Taifu Changshi.

Sima Lun is in power, he is the prime minister, and he is recruited to join the army.

Yang Chen did not stop, and rode a horse without a saddle and hurriedly ran away. The messenger of the herald chased after him, Yang Chen's martial arts were strong, and he opened the bow left and right on the back of the bare horse, and the messenger was not allowed to get close, so he ran back to his hometown smoothly, and he was also a strange person.

"The prince has done a great job." Yang Jianzhi sighed with emotion: "When the world changes color, it suddenly rises and is magnificent." ”

"Since the sheep has praised what I have done, why don't we go south together to see? Just avoid the angels. Shao Xun asked with a smile.

"The prince wants to go south to Chen County?"

"Yes, yes."

"That's to go and see." Yang Jian said with a smile.

"Prepare the horses." Shao Xun was not verbose, and ordered directly towards Tang Jian.

After speaking, he grabbed Tang Jian again and said in a low voice: "Tell Pei Fujun that there are 2,000 soldiers in Xingyang, and there are still troops in Aocang, if he dares to abandon the land and flee without authorization, I will fight to offend Pei's family, and I will not let him go." ”

"No." Tang Jian responded.

Shao Xun nodded.

None of the Pei family are worry-free, they are all running experts. If he didn't say cruel words, he was really worried that the Huns would be able to scare Pei Chun away by sending one hundred and ten cavalry across the river to reconnoitre.

They are all a bunch of pig teammates, and it will be up to the sky for him to engage in literary work in the future, and he must not be entrusted with important tasks.

On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, Shao Xun left 2,000 troops and 2,000 auxiliary soldiers to guard Guandu, and led the main force of the Silver Spear Army to the south and went to Chen County.
