Chapter 48: The Test of Obedience

Lead-gray clouds filled the sky, low to the ground.

The autumn rain continued for a while, from morning to night.

As soon as the cold wind blew, it was a biting chill.

The streets are covered with stains.

It was a turbid stream washed out by the rain mixed with ashes and blood.

There are few houses in the city, and the candle flame like a bean looks like a ghost fire from a distance.

Footsteps rang out, and the last bit of light went out.

Wang Xuan got out of the carriage, gently pushed the door open, and came to the messy courtyard.

"This house is very large, there are three entrances before and after, and the main family is in a hurry to sell it, as long as it is ten thousand dollars." The servant followed and whispered.

Wang Xuan didn't reply, but looked at the corridor in the distance.

A cold and quiet woman stood there, her figure graceful, her clothes fluttering, and the expression on her face was full of curiosity and confusion, like an elf who had just entered the world.

"Ah Yu, what are you doing?" Wang Xuan asked.

Wang Jingfeng withdrew his hand with an "ah", and the temperament of the goddess instantly dissipated into nothingness.

"Big brother, I'm looking to see if it's rain or snow." Wang Jingfeng said.

Wang Xuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Come in with me." ”

With that, he walked into the middle hall.

The hall was roughly cleaned up, but there were few household items.

There were no bricks on the ground, and the black-brown soil was one high and one low, and the table was placed on top of it, crooked.

"Why did the eldest brother come to this place? It was only half a month after the end of the war, and the soldiers were in chaos, and they were scared to death. After Wang Jingfeng walked in, he complained.

"I'm here for business." Wang Xuan was a little weak when he said this.

"What's the matter?" Wang Jingfeng was stunned, she thought ......

"Chu Ming (Wang Shu) is here from Pengcheng." Wang Xuan said: "Soon the Cao Canal will freeze, and this year's Cao Yun is only half of it." A few days ago, a ship had already set off to Changyi (Gaoping Zhishuo), so why can't my brother come to supervise it? This courtyard will be a branch of the branch in the future, and someone will be sent to stay behind. ”

"You lied to me." After Wang Jingfeng finished speaking, he lowered his head.

Wang Xuan didn't know how to answer.

"I met Gong Chen today." Wang Jingfeng said again.

"Huh? When? Wang Xuan was surprised.

"When you go out."

"Chen Gong came in?"

"Chen Gong returned from Lu Kingdom, sat for a while, and then went to Jinxiang."

"What are you going to Jinxiang for?"

"I heard that I went to give a reward to the Silver Spear Army."

"Oh." Wang Xuan suddenly realized, and then wondered: "Why did Chen Gong say this to you?" ”

Wang Jingfeng shook her head slowly, obviously she didn't know very well, and then she seemed to think of something, her mood improved, and she said a little proudly: "Gong Chen saw that I was beautiful." ”

Wang Xuan sighed helplessly: "Chen Gong won the battle against the Huns, from now on, what kind of woman can't be obtained?" And who would dare to make irresponsible remarks about him? ”

"But-" Wang Jingfeng was a little unconvinced: "There is no woman in Luoyang who is better looking than me." ”

Wang Xuan decided not to tell his eldest sister about this.

The more you talk, the more energetic she becomes, and she really has the capital to be proud. Otherwise, my father wouldn't have used the eldest sister as a bargaining chip - but who knew that Chen Gong's taste was so heavy, and he actually liked the cold woman of the second sister.

Thinking of his father Wang Yan, Wang Xuan's thinking returned to business.

Langya Wang Sima Rui's action this time is very big.

Zhou Fu has been exterminated, fled back to his hometown in Runan, Yangzhou is finally unified, and it is no longer like the two governors who spoke before.

In the battle of Shouchun, Chu Zhong (Wang Dun) was the nominal commander, but the battle was actually fought by his subordinates, and he was only responsible for logistics, coordination, liaison, meritorious service and other miscellaneous matters

Gan Zhuo (Gan Ning's great-grandson), who was the first in battle, once joined the army in the Sima Yue shogunate, and this time he served as the assassin of Xiangzhou - the original assassin Shi Xun Wei has been held by Du Tao.

After the annihilation of Zhou Fu, the king of Langya, who was the governor of Yang, Jiang, Hunan, Jiao, and Guangzhou, sent troops to the north to capture Xiapi, and then defeated Zhao Gu in Pengcheng, and the remnants of the solid rate fled north.

After receiving Xuzhou, the king of Langya signed the ancestor as the history of Xuzhou Thorn.

Wang Shu secretly told him about this matter, I don't know what kind of psychology he had, but Wang Xuan had already sent someone to inform Chen Gong, maybe this was the purpose of the execution.

Speaking of which, Wang Xuan now also understands the feeling of a big family dividing various forces.

Most of the children of the Langya Wang clan went to Jianye to do things for Langya Wang Rui.

His father and he were in Luoyang, called Zhongli, but in fact they were secretly inclined to Chen Gong.

It is a more tactful way to send a message between family members from all sides.

But it seems that Chen Gong doesn't quite agree with this candidate?

Wang Xuan pondered and meditated, and secretly discussed with his father after he went back, and changed people.

In Xuzhou, everyone has a tacit understanding at present.

King Langya's sailors began to retreat, spitting out the territory they had already reached.

Chen Gong also did not touch Xuzhou.

Both sides retained respect for the imperial court, albeit only superficially.

However, after this battle, anyone with eyes and brains can see that the situation in the Central Plains is undergoing profound changes.

******

On the post road, it was muddy on rainy days.

The big battle is over, and there are few pedestrians in the desert.

Through the light rain curtain, you can see the shadows of the dry trees on the embankment parallel to the Cao Canal (Heshui).

The embankment of the river, which has fallen into disrepair, is dilapidated and intermittent.

There are several ancient locust trees and willow trees standing on the side of the post road, and the thick and twisted trunks are covered with arrow marks.

In the treetops stood a few crows, making a loud noise, making the bare fields far and near desolate.

A long convoy drove up, and the first car was loaded with black - heads?

In fact, there is more than this one, there is a second and third car behind......

The crow became agitated and made even more noise.

The wind howled angrily, and the drizzle gradually turned into sleet.

The skulls were soon soaked and covered.

Occasionally, the convoy would stop outside a manor or dock for a short break.

At this time, the head on the vehicle will become the object of onlookers.

After being introduced by the coachman, these scholars and Haoqiang's children understood that this was the head of the Huns cut off near Gaoping, with a total of more than 2,400 levels.

Hearing this, everyone was in awe, and at the same time looked at the spacious and tall carriage with fearful eyes.

The car was sent from Xuchang, along with a large number of supplies and thousands of auxiliary soldiers, to take Chen Gong back.

Some knowledgeable people whispered that it was probably one of the six-ride carts given by the imperial court to Kaifu Yitong Sansi, with exquisite materials, exquisite workmanship, luxurious decoration, and luxury and majesty everywhere.

I see!

No one felt out of place. After all, Xincai Wang Sima did get such a courtesy, so why couldn't Chen Gong?

Heze and Gaoping fought two battles, and rode to break the cavalry and kill the majesty of the Huns.

There was also a surprise attack on Tobuyang from the big river, which shook the thieves on all fronts and lost the courage to continue fighting.

With such martial arts, who dares to talk nonsense?

After the exclamation, everyone waited quietly by the side of the road, hoping to see Chen Gong.

The luxury car stopped.

"You go down, I'm not going." Wang Jingfeng pinched his nose and said angrily: "Those heads stink to death." ”

"Does it stink?" Shao Xun smiled.

"I deal with dead people every day, but I can't smell them." Wang Jingfeng glanced at him.

"I'm working hard, not to be good to you?" Shao Xun asked.

Wang Jingfeng blushed and lowered his head, but soon smiled secretly again and said, "I'm really beautiful, right?" ”

Shao Xun: "......"

Shaking his head, after getting out of the carriage, the black pressure group of people immediately bowed and saluted: "Gong Chen." ”

Shao Xun returned the salute, and after a few words, he stood on the side of the road and looked at the endless field.

"After the beginning of spring, the imperial court will send the new prime minister over, and there will be some things that need to be helped." Shao Xun said suddenly.

"Chen Gong, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally pushed one person forward and said.

"The Kaocheng shogunate wants to settle 3,900 households of 'common people' in the seven counties of Gaoping Kingdom." Shao Xun turned around and said, "General Zhenjun and Yang Envoy Jun will allocate some money and grain, and you can help a little more, do you have any objections?" ”

The crowd was silent for a moment.

Fortunately, the person who was pushed out was more clever, his eyes swept over the head of the Huns, and he immediately said: "There is no objection." ”

Shao Xun nodded and said, "Not bad." The specific amount will be divided with you after the prime minister takes office. ”

Gaoping is a feudal state of the county, which is the same thing as his Chen county.

The first Gaoping County Duke was Chen Qian, the son of Cao Wei Situ Chen Jiao, and the founder of the Great Jin Dynasty.

After Chen Qianxue, three generations of Chen Yu, Chen Zhi, and Chen Cui were passed on.

When the Xiongnu invaded, Chen Cui's fief was breached, the men and women of the Chen family died, those who fled, and the rest were plundered by the Xiongnu.

The prime minister is also dead.

Theoretically, the imperial court should choose one person from the remnants of the Chen clan to succeed Chen Cui, the heir of Gaoping County.

But Shao Xun didn't want the Chen family to continue to be powerful in Gaopingguo.

In the seven counties of Gaoping, there are only four scholars on the table.

Gaoping County Gong Chen's family is counted as one, Jinxiang has Tan's family, Xi's family, and Juye also has a Luqiu clan - when Sima Yue was the Taifu, Luqiu Chong served as a long history in the shogunate, and later became an official in the court.

This time Luoyang was besieged, Lu Qiuchong was a little scared, he had already resigned from his official position, and planned to go to Kaocheng again to carry the work for Sima Yue's son.

As for why this is so, of course, it was found that there was a Shao Taibai in Henan. With him, Kaocheng is safer than Luoyang, even if the shogunate, the general of the town army, no longer has a good position, he must go to occupy a pit first.

The so-called "3,900 households" mentioned by Shao Xun are actually the remaining 3,900 people in the Yamen Army.

He had already decided to take advantage of the favorable opportunity when Gaoping was defeated, and place the Yamen army as a whole to serve as a government soldier in Qixian to strengthen his control over here.

There is Dongping Kingdom as a barrier to the north of Gaoping, and it is not on the front line of war. Once the enemy invades, it will inevitably enter the three kingdoms of Dongping, Puyang, and Jibei first, which can play a buffering role for Gaoping, which is in the second line, so that the government troops have time to assemble.

Gao Ping's position as the prime minister, he has already thought about it, and he will give Yu Yu who is idle at home.

As for Gao Pingguo's stay and departure, he tends to directly remove the country and the county, and let Yu Yu be too conservative.

Today, when I mentioned money and food to this group of local scholars, I didn't really need it, it was just a test of obedience.

These grandchildren are all grass on the wall, and everyone is filial.

After the arrival of the new prime minister and the placement of the government soldiers, the space for them to meet their left and right sources was greatly reduced.

To put it bluntly, it is to be controlled.
