Just as Yuan Qi continued to embark on his journey, Ugong Terulie had already ended a series of battles. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 At this moment, Unomiya Terulie sat in the hall of the Yanzhou Prefecture Governor's Mansion, gently stroking the handle of the chair with both hands, and after a long time, Unomiya Terulie sighed and said, "Power, it's really a very charming thing. In the past, a certain ambition was to be a county lieutenant; later a certain became a Huangmen order, a certain thought, in the future, must be a real power official position; soon after, a certain was appointed by the emperor as one of the eight captains of the West Garden, the military captain, in the hands of 2,000 forbidden troops, at that time, a certain heart thought, when can become a county guard; later Dong Meng's rebellion broke out, a certain rebel soldier Qin Wang, followed the Yuan Qi after more than ten battles, each battle must be defeated, when today's son sealed the official position of a certain Fenwu general, let a certain lead Chen Liu; to this day, a certain is based in Yanzhou, under the command of the elite soldiers have reached 100,000 people, but a certain still feel dissatisfied, you say, why is this？”

The people who can hear Unomiya Teruyu's heartfelt words are naturally people that Unomiya Terulie trusts very much. In the hall, there were more than a dozen civil and military officials, the generals were Yugong Ren, Yugong Hong, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan brothers and others of the Yugong clan, and Wenchen, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and several others. Guo Jia was moved by Ugong Terulie's sincerity, coupled with Unomiya Terulie's eclectic use of people, and like Yuan Qi, he did not value family background and identity, but only valued talent, so Guo Jia put away his arrogance and willingly joined the command of Ugong Terulie.

After hearing Ugong Terulie's question, Ugong Ren said with a grin: "The water flows to a low place, people go to a high place, the eldest brother's talent is outstanding, not to mention just a state pastor, a certain look is like Yuan Qi, it is more than enough to be a metropolitan governor." ”

This is a rough statement, but it makes a lot of sense. Guo Jia stood up and said: "My lord, under Fang today, there are two tigers in the north, Yuan Qi and Yuan Ding, and Yuan Bai, Sun Jian, and Yuan Biao in the south; in the northwest, Li Dao and Guo Bi are not dead; in the southwest, Yuan Zhang and Zhang Luming are fighting in the dark; only the Central Plains seems to be a group of heroes. In fact, in addition to the lord, the rest are all idle people, it is a good time for the lord to show his talents, in the troubled times, there must be heroes, if the lord does not take this God-given opportunity to stay for eternity, is it not in vain God's favor?"

Xun You also said: "Lord, what Feng Xiao said is very reasonable, and the princes from all walks of life are too busy to take care of themselves, which is a good opportunity for the lord to rise." Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling has no ambitions, and he is not the master of the success, and the lord should plan it as soon as possible. When Yanzhou and Yuzhou are connected, the main power has been formed, and it can compete with Yuan Qi and Yuan Ding. ”

Ugong Zhaolie thought carefully for a while, and said: "It's not a certain greedy for pleasure, a little rich is safe, but the attack on Yanzhou has exhausted my army, if it weren't for Guo Fengxiao's conspiracy, I'm afraid that our army can't even beat Yanzhou, now Yanzhou is initially decided, the people's hearts are not attached, at this time to attack Yuzhou, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate." ”

What Unomiya Terulie said is exactly the shortcomings of the Unomiya Army at the moment. The Yugong army originally had less than 20,000 people, and it was already a miracle that it could quickly take Yanzhou, which supported the 100,000 army, with 20,000 tired divisions, commanding 100,000 Yanzhou soldiers who were unstable, it was not too easy, if they attacked Yuzhou again, there was no problem if the battle went well, but if there was a stalemate or the war was unfavorable, the 100,000 soldiers in Yanzhou might mutiny.

Guo Jia smiled and comforted Ugong Zhaolie: "The lord doesn't need to worry, the war in the north will never end within a few years, Yuan Ding has repeatedly stabbed Yuan Qi in the back, and the two of them will have a battle sooner or later." With Yuan Ding for our army to resist Yuan Qi, the lord can rest assured. Similarly, Yuan Bai entrenched in Huainan and occupied Yangzhou, and just blocked the ambitious Sun Jian for our army, so our army can calmly plan and arrange the time for the march, temporarily recuperate for a year and a half, and subdue the hearts of the Yanzhou army and people. ”

Unomiya Terulie said with a smile: "What Feng Xiao said is exactly what he wants. Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, a person who does nothing. Yuzhou is in the bag sooner or later, so there is no need to be in a hurry. It's just that the rectification of Yanzhou is really urgent, and you have to worry a lot. In addition, I heard that there are many heroes in Yanzhou, and the heroes should not be buried in the people. Zhong De, a little later, wrote a proclamation to recruit talented people to serve in the state pastoral office. ”

Xun You suddenly stood up and said, "Lord, when it comes to heroes, you think of someone. This person is deeply praised by Xun Luo, the nephew of the clan, and is a famous celebrity in Yingchuan, named Xizhong Zi Zhicai, and is a fellow villager of Fengxiao, presumably Fengxiao has also heard of this person. ”

"Yes, Xi Zhicai is full of wealth, and he is really a rare talent, and the lord should take it under his command as soon as possible. Guo Jia nodded and said.

Seeing Xun You, Guo Jia, and even Xun Luo under Yuan Qi, they all admired Xi Zhong, and Ugong Terulie could almost conclude that Xi Zhong must be a virtuous talent. For talented people, Ugong Terulie has always attached great importance to it, and he immediately made a decision to take Guo Jia to visit Xi Zhong tomorrow and bring Xi Zhong under his command.

After discussing some things with everyone, Ugong Terulie made proper arrangements for the problems in front of him and let everyone implement them. When everyone took the order and left the hall alone, Unomiya Terulie stretched out his hands again, slowly put them on the armrests of the chair, and gently stroked them. This is what it is like to be in power, and this feeling makes Unomiya Terulie feel very enjoyable. Unomiya Terulie, who had just sat on the Yanzhou pastoral seat for a month, was full of pride, and at the same time, a stronger dissatisfaction began to take root in Unomiya Terulie's heart, and grew rapidly, he was no longer satisfied with just owning Yanzhou.

While stroking the armrest of the chair and looking to the south, Ugong Terulie had endless reverie on his face, and whispered to himself: "The seat in Yuzhou Mansion, compared with Yanzhou, I don't know which one is more comfortable?"

The next day, accompanied by Guo Jia, Ugong Terulie visited Xi Zhong with a generous gift and had a long talk with Xi Zhong for nearly two hours. No one knew what they were talking about, not even Guo Jia could not enter the room to hear the conversation between the two. But everyone found that since this long conversation, Ugong Terulie seems to have changed a little more. The smart Guo Jia keenly felt that Ugong Terulie's ambition had once again increased by a slight margin. Although this increase is very weak, Guo Jia believes that with the increasing power and status, Ugong Terulie will one day have the ambition to dominate the world.

Whether Umiya Terulie is a loyal minister of the loyal Yuan clan or a hero who intends to dominate one side, for a poor scholar like Guo Jia, it is not the most important thing, the important thing is that following Ugong Terulie can shine on the lintel, which is what a poor scholar like Guo Jia values, because Unomiya Terulie provides them with a platform to display their ambitions, so that they can break the long-standing oppression of the scholar clan and give full play to their talents. Guo Jia and Xi Zhong are the two more prominent of these humble scholars, from the moment Unomiya Terulie came to visit, their fate has been closely linked with Unomiya Terulie.

With the promulgation of the conscription order, a large number of poor scholars in Yanzhou came to Ugong Terulie when they heard the news. Different from the situation of Youhe and Erzhou, because of its location in the frontier, before Yuan Qi took office, it was invaded by foreign people all the year round, so many big families living in Youhe moved to Jizhou or the Central Plains further south. At the beginning, Yuan Qi also issued a recruitment order, but the effect was not as good as Yanzhou, attributed to the reason, it is nothing more than that the talents in the territory of the annex are not as rich as Yanzhou in the Central Plains, and there is no oppression of the scholars, many poor families are not willing to come out to be officials, until Yuan Qi established Yenching University, this situation has been improved.

On the other hand, Yanzhou, located in the Central Plains, has rich products that lead to Yanzhou's economic prosperity, and is a good place for big families to multiply, and the population is relatively dense, but the area is relatively narrow, a large number of fertile land are monopolized by the scholars, and a large number of official appointments and dismissals are also decided by the local scholars. However, with the conscription order of Ugong Terulie, a large number of humble scholars saw hope, and there were two vivid examples of Guo Jia and Xi Zhong, prompting many talented humble scholars to rush to recommend themselves to Ugong Terulie, trying to get Unomiya Terulie's approval, and then give full play to what they have learned. Even many people in Yuzhou rushed to try their skills when they heard the news. In addition to the scholars of the Han family, there were also some famous people who came to Ugong Zhaolie, causing a grand scene of a sea of people in front of the Yanzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.

The attachment of a large number of talents has greatly increased the strength and fame of Ugong Terulie, and at the same time, it has also catalyzed Unomiya Terulie's determination to use troops in Yuzhou. So, after half a year of rest, Ugong Terulie decided to send troops to attack Yuzhou.
