Xue Mansion

On this day, Xue Mansion held a dinner party.

The people who could come to the dinner party were not unknown or incompetent people in Dali before, and they knew each other as soon as they talked to each other.

Now that these people have joined the Pingzhou camp, they naturally want to build Pingzhou well and make it bigger and stronger.

Xue Xu held this dinner party to take them to integrate into Pingzhou as soon as possible.

After everyone sat down, Xue Xu raised his glass, "The governor is ill and can't come in person, Xue is here to give you a glass." ”

Xue Xu was subdued by Lu Songli, and she was also the first person to follow her, and she was twice fearless of life and death, went deep into the enemy area, and made great contributions. Among the vassals, his status is not ordinary.

The people drank the wine in their hands.

Guo Chong said on the side, "Speaking of which, the governor is completely for the people of Pingzhou, and he has done his best, otherwise he would not have fallen ill as soon as the war in the East China Sea ended." ”

"The governor's original plan was to take the land of the East China Sea and replace Jizhou and Zhuozhou with the imperial court. It's a pity that the governor took great pains and finally ......" Xue Xu looked like he was concerned.

Dong Jichuan watched the two old foxes sing and drink, his eyes rolled, how could he let the two of them be beautiful? So he decided to intervene, "The governor is righteous and willing to exchange the two counties of Donghai for the people of Pingzhou." The ancients said that the lord humiliated his ministers to death. Now that the governor has suffered such a big loss, all those present, whether they are new ministers or old ministers, are all the governor's left and right arms, if they don't do anything, why aren't they incompetent? ”

Guo Chong and Xue Xu glanced at each other, first surprised, and then looked at each other and smiled, smart people.

The emotions of other people were mobilized, and some people immediately said, "Mr. Dong is reasonable, as a vassal, we should share the worries of the Lord." Lord Xue, why don't we discuss how to take Jizhou and Zhuozhou? Treat it as our vote! ”

The name of the person who spoke was Wu Qingyi, a native of Jincheng and Shu County.

Xue Xu praised, "If you have ambition, all of you present, no matter who wins one or two places, I will ask for credit for him in front of the governor!" ”

At this time, Xue Xu did not hide Pingzhou's covetousness for these two places.

The crowd bowed their heads in contemplation.

Jizhou or Zhuozhou is next to the territory of Pingzhou.

Jizhou is east to Shanggu County, north to Dai County, southwest to Zhongshan, southeast to Zhuozhou.

Zhuozhou faces the sea in the southeast, Hejian in the south, Zhongshan in the west, and Jizhou and Yuyang County in the northeast.

In other words, if they want to expand Pingzhou and not attack Xianbei in the north, if they attack Dali, they must first take these two territories before they can advance westward or southward.

In other words, whoever can take these two places will make a great contribution.

Xue Xu looked around, "So, what plan do you have to take Jizhou or Zhuozhou for the governor?" ”

The old people in Pingzhou kept their mouths shut, and gave up the opportunity to the newcomers together, which was also a test for them, although the test question was a little more difficult.

The newcomers looked at each other, and it was time to show what they were really capable of.

At this time, Dong Jichuan was promoted. He is known for his deeds, and the newcomers who entered Pingzhou this time appreciate him very much, or admire him.

"Lord Xue, Zhuozhou's county guard Kong Huai is an old stubborn, old pedantic, and the most important thing is to respect the teacher, and it will be difficult to take Zhuozhou for a while."

Jizhou and Zhuozhou are actually two large counties in Jizhou, and the most powerful officials are county guards.

Xue Xu asked with a smile, "What about bypassing him to do this?" ”

"I'm afraid it won't work, during the previous Battle of the East China Sea, Xie Zhan increased the defense of Zhuozhou in order to completely cut off the supply of the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force."

"But Liu Guanlin, the county guard of Jizhou, is smart and clever, and has no foundation, and Jizhou is next door to Pingzhou, so he must be influenced by Pingzhou, and the possibility of convincing him is still very great."

Ahem cough cough –

There was a cough, and everyone looked towards the source.

The cougher was a young student named Wei Yang.

"Wei Gongzi, but what Dong said just now is inappropriate?" Dong Jichuan asked.

Wei Yang shook his head, "That, Liu Junshou is my uncle." ”

Xue Xu and Guo Chong were slightly surprised when they heard this.

Dong Jichuan raised his eyebrows, someone sent a pillow if he was sleepy? Is it so smooth?

"I wonder if Gongzi Wei is willing to pull the strings for us?" Xue Xu hurriedly asked.

Wei Yang got up, straightened his robe, and said, "I am willing to work for the governor." ”

"Master Xue, Guo Junshi, how about letting me go to Jizhou this time?" Dong Jichuan asked for help.

"Okay."

After Jizhou's plan was decided, everyone turned their attention back to Zhuozhou.

At this time, Gu Huaisheng spoke up, "Lord Xue, I have a strategy, or I can take Zhuozhou for the governor, but it takes time, and it can't be done overnight." ”

"Please—"

Sun Lao Taijun and others disembarked one after another.

Sun Ming was already waiting with people, and he received someone as soon as possible.

"This is Pingzhou?" Mrs. Sun looked curiously, this is a common port in Pingzhou, but looking at the people coming and going, it is very prosperous.

Sun Ming helped his mother, "Yes, mother, my son has already set up a house in Changli, let's take a carriage directly over later." ”

The governor asked them to choose some of the grain and grass that could be used by the new army of the Sun family, and let people collect the rest, and the price was very fair.

In addition, when they Sun Jiajun joined Pingzhou, they made meritorious contributions, and there were many rewards from above, so they all had money to buy real estate.

Mrs. Sun knew several important cities in Pingzhou, and at present, Changli is the seat of Pingzhou, and it is also the place where Governor Lu Songli is stationed.

Mrs. Sun and the old guys all took advantage of this opportunity to come out, but the government was keeping an eye on them, and the property in their hands could not be sold at all.

It can only be said that they were lucky, and they sold all the assets that their family could sell in the name of raising grain and grass.

It can be said that all the belongings on the surface have been taken away, and this result is already very good.

The remaining 20% or so of the industry is gone. Mrs. Sun saw it very openly, and saving her life was more important than anything else.

Besides, as a family of military generals, no matter how much they lack hearts, they can't leave a hand behind them?

They have more or less hidden something, so if their children and grandchildren are in trouble in the future, they may have to rely on what they are hiding to live, and they also have some capital if they want to make a comeback.

The mother and son looked at each other, and both understood that what they had hidden was fine.
