Chapter IX Arrangements
On the winding country road, the number of riders gradually faded away.
"I didn't even have a cold food festival, so I left in a hurry." Wang Shu sighed and said depressedly.
"Why worry?" Zhou Yi rode his horse to catch up and chuckled: "Zhongzhou is turbulent and chaotic, and it is not a happy place for us." Sooner or later, some people will be discouraged and disappointed, and cross the river to the south. β
"Yes." Wang Shu turned his worries into joy and said, "Or Boren will be relieved." β
"It's also a relief to myself." Zhou Yi laughed.
Wang Shu, the younger brother of Wang Dao, is now Sima Rui, the shogunate of the shogunate. Sima Yue once conquered, no. When Wang Dun served as the assassin of Qingzhou, Wang Shu went from him and wanted to serve in the state, and everyone knew the result.
After Sima Rui crossed south from Xuzhou to Jianye, the Wang family invested a lot of money, and almost two-thirds of the clansmen went south to attach themselves to it, and Wang Shu was one of them.
Zhou Yi was born in the Zhou clan in Runan, and is currently the general of the Sima Bi Town Army. But he didn't want to do it anymore, so after chasing Fan County to resign, he followed Wang Shu to the south.
As for his hometown, he also sent someone back to inform him, and he would leave with his family, servants and maids, and subordinates.
The north is too chaotic, there is iron and blood everywhere, but the south is the wind, catkins, wine, and beautiful women, isn't it beautiful?
They were followed by several people, all of whom were former assistants of the Sima Yue shogunate. Under the persuasion of Wang Shu, they left their homes, crossed the river to the south, and defected to the king of Langya.
As the old saying goes, when a person leaves his homeland, the same is true for scholars.
You can indeed bring the Zhuangke with you, but the problem is that you need a lot of money to support it. Clearing the land is not a simple matter, at least the first year or two is a pure loss, you have to support them.
There is no doubt that the government of Jiangdong will provide some subsidies, but it will also have to pay for it.
As more and more people go to the south, the price of grain in Jiangdong counties has been bought, and even money can't buy it, so you have to borrow it from others through your network and return it after the land reclamation is successful.
At this time, it is very important to have relatives and friends who are local officials.
These people who followed Wang Shu were the ones who went to be the front station of the official fight, so as to facilitate the overall southern crossing of the family in the future.
They are scholars, well-read, knowledgeable, and have certain management experience. At this stage, King Langya wants as much as he wants, because he wants to strike a balance between the southerners and the northerners.
In addition, attracting talents from the north is also one of the means to weaken the opponent, in short, there are many benefits.
"Who's over there?" Wang Shu pointed at the horsewhip, looked at the more than 100 people who were hesitating forward dozens of steps away, and asked.
Zhou Yi looked at it and said, "It should be the people who went south to beg." I have traveled all the way from Luoyang, Xingyang, and Puyang, and I have seen a lot. The Xiongnu sent a small group of rangers to the south, and one of them was only one or two hundred horsemen, carrying several days of food and water, and attacked everywhere. When the people saw the thief coming, they fled from him. The Huns did not pursue, but destroyed the crops, burned the houses, and then roared away. β
Although the people are now starting to live together, some of the walls are not so big that they can't fit everyone into them. Many of the people still lived outside the fort, only to take refuge in the dock when the enemy arrived.
Besides, people can hide, but the fields can't, and if you can't deal with the two hundred Hun cavalry, you can only do whatever they wantβif you are resolute and repel the enemy in the field, you may be able to stop the enemy from destroying the crops, but not every dock fort is capable of doing it.
Zhou Yi traveled all the way, and met a group of Hun cavalry in Puyang, which was almost captured by him.
"In this way, it is not easy for Shao Xun in Henan." Wang Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "According to Shao Taibai's words, it is 'every family has a scripture that is difficult to read', haha." He faced the Hun soldiers, and was captured every day, and he didn't know how long he could hold out. β
Zhou Yi frowned a little when he heard this, and said: "Chu Ming, Chen Hou is in the front, which is also good for Jiangdong, why bother to say cool words?" β
"Yes." Wang Shu confessed and said no more.
Up to now, King Langya still respects the orders of the imperial court.
Guangling didn't transport much grain into Beijing last year, and the Jiangdong counties were happy, but this year they are about to start shipping. This is an obvious signal that King Langya is still a courtier of the Great Jin Dynasty and respects Luoyang Zhengshuo.
As a vassal of King Langya, he really shouldn't say more.
Zhou Yi turned his head and looked in the direction of Fan County again.
In the past few days, the shogunate, the general of the town army, has been handling Sima Yue's funeral.
After Sima Yue's death, he has been buried in the city, and this time he was buried in the scenery.
For people of their level, mourning is a political event that means a lot of things.
After Sima Yue's burial, it meant that his era was completely over, and the shogunate officials would begin a new political career under the leadership of the new monarch.
Zhou Yi heard that the major scholars in Yanzhou had basically sent people to the scene, and they were more than Situ Sheng.
It is true that the dead are greater, and no one will get along with the dead. But if Chen Hou hadn't led the army to come, things would not have been so simple.
Judging from the people attending the funeral, the Yanzhou scholars probably also wanted to see if Chen Hou, a famous general in Luoyang, could withstand the fierce attack of the Xiongnu for them - not to completely block it, but at least to improve it than before.
The situation in the north is quietly undergoing profound changes under the interaction of external forces and internal factors.
******
At the end of March, there was a sudden increase in news.
Shouchun Zhou Fu is still peddling his plans to move the capital, and mentions that this year's transportation may be difficult because Jingzhou has suffered from war.
As soon as this omission came out, everyone looked sideways.
Sima Rui, the king of Langya, asked Zhou Fu to resign, and the two sides were still talking about it, and no one dared to say whether they would use swords in the future. At least, Sima Rui had a strong urge to do Zhou Fu.
In the direction of Jingzhou, Yang Dan led the army south, defeated Wang Ru again, and beheaded 3,000.

After arriving at the city of Xiangyang, because of the long-term attack, there was a military rebellion in the camp, and Yang Dan fled in a hurry, and was defeated by Wang Ru and suffered heavy losses.
After gathering the remnants, he retreated all the way to Xinye and licked his wounds.
The Xiongnu had been saving up for several months, hoarding a certain amount of supplies in Hedong, and finally ran out of patience and began to attack.
Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, sent the general Zhao Ran to lead the army to refuse. The dyeing army is stationed in Pubanjin, and it is blocked by the river.
There is another way to Tongguan Town.
These two groups of people and horses brought together all the capable soldiers in Guanzhong, and the strategic intention of resisting the enemy outside the country was very obvious.
The reason why I did this was because I was afraid.
Sima Mo was worried that after the Xiongnu broke into Guanzhong, Qunhu responded, and the situation instantly eroded. Therefore, in any case, the battlefield must be placed outside, as far away from Chang'an as possible.
What's more, if you don't keep the two key places of Pubanjin and Tongguan, what kind of battle are you fighting?
Xiangzhou is still fighting, and the situation is not good, because the government has no soldiers at all, so it can only be summoned temporarily. And Ding Zhuang, who was temporarily pulled up, may be slightly inferior to the Bashu refugees, coupled with the difference in morale, the official army is very passive, and Du Tao has approached Changsha.
Youzhou Wang Jun was once again deeply involved in the Xianbei War.
Before the grass returned to green in March, Duanbu Xianbei was raided by Murong Xianbei, suffered heavy losses, and had to ask Wang Jun for help.
Jun led tens of thousands of eastbound riders, which can be regarded as righteousness.
Speaking of this Duan Xianbei, it is destined to be impossible to avoid the Battle of Chang'an six years ago.
Duan was deeply involved in the Eight Kings Rebellion, and had already lost thousands of horsemen in successive battles, and Chang'an died another 5,000, and his vitality was greatly damaged all of a sudden.
You must know that the people who can be sent to the Central Plains are not the old, weak, sick and disabled, but the relatively strong people, and more than 10,000 people will be killed within a few years, which is an unbearable pain for Duan Xianbei, who has a total population of only a few hundred thousand.
Grassland resources are limited, and tribal vendettas are continuous.
The Murong clan and the Yuwen clan saw that Duan Bu was showing decline, how could they not step forward to share the food?
Over the years, Wang Jun has actually been giving blood transfusions to Duanbu, sending troops to rescue three or four times, and losing a lot of soldiers and money and food, so that Duanbu Xianbei can be maintained until now.
But it's only a slight reversal.
Duan Xianbei continued to lose pasture, cattle, sheep and people, and his strength became weaker and weaker. Perhaps, in a few years, they will withdraw from the stage of history and be replaced by Murong Xianbei or Yuwen Xianbei - maybe Tuoba Xianbei?
When Shao Xun saw this, he felt a little strange: "What did Wang Yifu tell me about this?" β
"Chen Gong didn't know, Taiwei once imagined that Wang Jun would go south from Youzhou, and Chen Gong would raise troops to go north, attack Shi Le, Shi Chao and others, and recover Jizhou." Yang Mao said: "However, Wang Youzhou is anxious and tired, but he has no strength to go south. β
"Wang Jun is a person, and he doesn't know how to fight without Xianbei." Shao Xun sneered: "Xianbei helped him fight in the past, and now he helps Xianbei fight, what a good pair of sons-in-law." β
"Wang Youzhou can't help it. He has no friendship with the Murong clan and the Yuwen clan, and after losing the foreign aid of Duanbu Xianbei, he can't hold Hebei, let alone the Xiongnu, and he can't beat Shile. Yang Mao shook his head and sighed: "Chen Gong can't count on this person, he can't." β
"I wouldn't be that stupid." Shao Xun said: "Yang Gong, you have to worry about all the things in Yanzhou. The heir of the king oversees the army in Yanzhou, and his name is not right, and he especially needs the support of Yang Gong. β
"Am I also unjustifiable?" Yang Mao smiled bitterly: "Will the Son of Heaven really agree?" β
"The Son of Heaven will agree." Shao Xun said with a smile: "Because there are still smart people in the Luoyang court, they will find that Luoyang has been put at the forefront." The war in Guanzhong will burn, once it falls, the situation in Luoyang will be even more critical, and at this time it will need the support of Yu, Yan, and Xu prefectures. I always say, 'Patience is for the country', and if I endure it, the Son of Heaven will have to endure it." If he doesn't want to put up with it, someone will persuade him to bear it. That's it, don't worry about Yang Gong. β
Yang Mao smiled bitterly again.
smiled bitterly twice, but the reasons were different, and only he could understand the taste.
"Over there in Xuzhou, has Gong Chen made the arrangements?" Yang Mao asked.
"Xuzhou Pei Zhijun has been listed as the commander of the school, Mi Huang Mi Zi has been restored to the internal history of the East China Sea." Shao Xun said: "This matter should be fine. β
After Sima Yue's death, Mi Huang was extremely hesitant.
Character determines fate, he tried to make up for the rift between Shao Xun and Sima Yue, and in the end, the two ends did not fall well.
Of course, Shao Xun actually didn't have much of an opinion on him.
Xuzhou is too far away, he can't control it at all, Concubine Pei's mother and son are intimate, and he has no opinion.
The original internal history was Taiyuan Wang Cheng, one of Sima Bi's teachers. But Wang Cheng had already decided to go south to Jianye, and the position was vacant.
The Mi clan is a local scholar clan in the East China Sea, and the family is not high.
In recent years, because of the relationship between the rise and step by step in Luoyang, the Mi family has developed rapidly in his hometown, and many people and even Haoqiang have come to rely on it, and their strength has increased greatly.
With the support of family power and the convenience brought by the official position, it should be able to compete with the Wang family, right?
In fact, Shao Xun hoped that he could unite with the Wang family and defend the four counties of the East China Sea Kingdom, but he didn't know if it would work.
"Ming Gong, it's time to go." Cai Cheng walked in from outside the door and reported.
"Okay." Shao Xun nodded, then saluted Yang Mao again, and said, "Yang Gong take care." I ordered Tang Jiantun to be in Xiaqiu, once there is a change, it must be there in a moment. β
"Lao Chen Gong bothered." Yang Mao returned the salute.
Shao Xun turned around and left, and embarked on the return journey.
