The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 682 Chen Du
Xun Yu hesitated to speak, but Liu Chong's anger was pent up in his heart, it was really inappropriate to say anything else at this time.

Now the influence of the Sun family in the Chendu court is indeed a bit too far-reaching, but the Chendu court has come to this point, is it not because of Sun Jian.

Hundreds of thousands of Kwantung coalition forces stopped outside the eight passes of Luoyang.

Cao Cao and Wei Zi were defeated in Xingyang. The heroes were terrified and dared to stand on the sidelines.

At this time, Sun Jian led the soldiers recruited from Changsha County, Lingling County, Guiyang County and other counties in the southernmost part of Jingzhou, traveled thousands of miles, all the way to the northern part of Nanyang County, and rushed to Yuzhou.

At that time, because Dong Zhuo defeated Cao Cao and Wei Zi, all the heroes of the Kwantung were watching from the sidelines, and no one dared to march again.

Under such circumstances, Sun Jian did not hesitate to send his troops northward to meet Dong Zhuojun who was in full swing.

Taigu's great victory, the mighty soldiers entered Luo, and the power shook the world. He granted false festivals and led the herdsmen in Yuzhou, which made him famous.

When Sun Jian obtained the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in Luoyang, it was actually the best time.

Ordered by the sky, life will last forever...

In the eyes of many people, the Chuanguo Yuxi represents the destiny.

At that time, Sun Jian held the power of the entire Yuzhou, and the army under his command was in full swing, and no one could surpass him.

Sun Jian was born in Wu County, Yangzhou. From this Yangzhou pacification of the rebellion, it is enough to see how much Sun's influence in Yangzhou is.

At the beginning, Xun Yu advised Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Jing to lead only [-] elite soldiers to suppress the rebellion. In fact, he wanted to see how prestige the Sun family had in Jiangdong.

Yangzhou suppressed the rebellion, and the support provided by the imperial court was actually extremely limited...

At that time, if Sun Jian really wanted to steal the country, he could easily make Liu Xie a puppet emperor.

But Sun Jian did not.

Sun Jian led the troops to withdraw from Chendu. No matter when Liu Xie called, Sun Jian never led troops to the surrounding areas of Chendu. He only brought a dozen or so relatives into Chendu.

The army led by Sun Jian was closest to Chendu during the Northern Expedition. Liu Xie asked to see Sun Jian off in person. Sun Jian respected the imperial edict and stayed in the north of Chendu, waiting for Liu Xie to inspect the army.

After Sun Jian took the post of Yuzhou Mu, he actually delegated most of his powers and did not intervene in too many affairs.

Sun Jian did not interfere too much with finances, money and food, but only took the expenses needed for his subordinates.

Liu Chong has always controlled the power of finance, money and food, and Sun Jian has never snatched it.

Sun Jian has never done such things as forming cliques and forming cliques for personal gain.

All along, Sun Jian's behavior has not been overstepped.

Sun Jian's only mistake was actually nothing more than "the master of high merit"...

The emperor was young and his foundation was unstable.

The princes have different ideas, and the world is in constant turmoil.

Sun Jian may not have other thoughts in mind...

But can anyone guarantee that Sun Jing has no other ideas?And who can guarantee that Sun Ce has no other ideas?
If Xun Yu is a descendant, then he thinks that a more appropriate word can be used to describe Sun Jian's current situation - the addition of a yellow robe.

The truth about the yellow robe adding body is unknown, but things like this are not uncommon.

"Song History Taizu Benji": "All the schools showed their blades in the court and said: 'The army has no master, and I wish Ce Taiwei to be the son of heaven. Long live."

Zhao Kuangyin was forcibly pushed to the throne of emperor by a group of generals.

Sun Jian has already made great achievements, and before that, he was a former general who was appointed as an official, and led Yuzhou as a herdsman.

At that time, how to deal with Sun Jian, how to appease the generals under Sun Jian's command.

Sun Jian does not form cliques, nor does he form cliques for personal gain.

However, Zhu Zhi, Sun Jing, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Huang Zhong and other high-ranking generals and schools in the court of Chendu are all under his tent, and they have already gathered under his banner.

Once the battle is won, the credit will be distributed. In a sense, Sun Jian is their benefactor and has the grace of supporting them.

Now Sun Jian's prestige in the army has climbed to an extremely terrifying level, especially among the Yuzhou Army and Yangzhou Army.

What's more, Sun Jian still has a rather large number of Wu Jun soldiers under his command. Sun Ce now has [-] Danyang soldiers under his command. In addition to the trilogy under Sun Jing and Zhu Zhi's command, Sun Jian now controls close to [-] direct troops.

Xun Yu had no doubt that Sun Jian's call would be echoed by thousands of people.

After all, the emperor is still too young. Jian Shuo may have taught the emperor some tactics and emperor's tricks, but after all, the time is too short...

Xun Yu sighed lightly, the current situation is extremely difficult.

Now the power in Liu Chong's hands has also begun to be divided. Liu Chong is a vassal king after all, and his appointment as a chariot general is actually against the law of the ancestors.

This time, Wang Yun, Huangfusong, Gai Xun and other prestigious veterans entered the court, and the weight of Liu Chong's speech was also greatly reduced.

Guo Jia frowned slightly, he and Xun Yu had the same thought.

Although Sun Jian's performance until now is dedicated to the country.

But people's hearts are changeable, and now Sun Jian is dedicated to serving the country, but it is difficult to guarantee that with the improvement of status and power, he will fall into it and cannot extricate himself.

Before entering Beijing, Dong Zhuo said that he was a great talent and that he did not serve the country. When he was in Liangzhou in the past, he was even more loved and received a lot of rewards, but he didn't take any of them, and distributed them all to the army.

And who could have imagined that when Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he would quickly sink into that gentle village and fall into the luxurious life of luxury.

In the past, the semicolon was not taken, and all the belongings were distributed to Dong Zhuo, the soldier. However, after entering Guanzhong, he built a luxurious dock, hiding the property and beauties of the entire Guanzhong in it, and enjoying himself all day long in it.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and his supernatural powers can only be possessed by the gods in the sky.

When Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp, Wang Mang did not show his true colors before he usurped the Han.

Guo Jia tapped lightly on the desk. Although he and Sun Jian had little acquaintance, he had always had a good impression of Sun Jian.

He is willing to believe that Sun Jian is really dedicated to the country, not the humble Wang Mang.

But Sun Jian's current situation will soon reach an extremely dangerous level, and temporarily weakening Sun Jian now is actually helping Sun Jian temporarily out of danger.

"Now that the Yangzhou rebellion has been decided, we can take the opportunity to dispatch Sun Jing to lead the army north to Yanzhou."

Guo Jia paused and continued.

"For one thing, Sun Jing's subordinates have gone through repeated battles, and they are already elite soldiers, and they can just enter Yanzhou as a supplement."

"Secondly, Sun Jing's subordinates are mostly recruited from various families in Yangzhou. Those families are very close to the Sun family. Transferring them away from Yangzhou can properly reduce the power of some powerful families in Yangzhou. It is convenient for us to deploy manpower."

Liu Chong raised his head slightly, his expression softened.

The method of transferring Sun Jing away from Yangzhou is indeed feasible. Now that almost all the local bandits in Yangzhou have been wiped out, there is no need for a large army to be stationed. Sun Jing has no reason to stay in Yangzhou.

To be honest, letting Sun Jing stay in Yangzhou made Liu Chong feel a little restless.

The noble family in Yangzhou is too close to the Sun family, if Sun Jing is allowed to stay for a while, the hearts of Yangzhou will all turn towards the Sun family.

"I will play the country tomorrow."

Liu Chong picked up the water glass on the desk.

"Let's talk about the change of the Northern Army. In order to guard against Yuan Shao's attack, it is safer to transfer Sun Jing to the North."

Liu Chong's voice fell.

Xun Yu tilted his head slightly.

"Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, has been ill for a long time. When the imperial physician visited him earlier, he said that time was running out. I think that the general can recommend a worthy minister to replace Chen Wen, or directly assume the post of Yangzhou pastor."

Liu Chong's eyes moved slightly. Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, was running out of time, but because of the turmoil of the Yangzhou rebellion, he never replaced him.

Now that Xun Yu mentioned it, it is indeed possible to fight for it.

"The position of governor of Yangzhou is a heavy responsibility. This matter should not be settled lightly. It can be put on the agenda and discussed slowly."

Liu Chong pondered for a while. When Xun Yu mentioned the candidate for the governor of Yangzhou, he didn't think about it carefully, and he couldn't think of a suitable successor for a while.

"I have a suitable candidate for the post of governor of Yangzhou..."

At this time, Xi Zhi inserted the topic.

All eyes were focused on Xi Zhicai because of his words.

"Cough cough..."

"Do you know Liu Dai, the former governor of Yanzhou?"

Luo Jun and Liu Chong nodded slightly.

As the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Dai was quite close to Yuan Shao.

At that time, after Yuan Shao and the imperial court had completely torn faces, Sun Jian led the army to the Northern Expedition, and with the cooperation of Cao Cao and others, they drove straight all the way to the city of Puyang.

Liu Dai was caught off guard, he did not expect the response of the court of Chendu to be so quick. Yuan Shao was fighting Gongsun Zan at this time, and he was too busy to take care of himself. There was no way to send many reinforcements.

Liu Dai saw that the general situation was over, so he bound his hands, went out of the city and surrendered. The three counties of Shanyang County, Rencheng State, and Dongping State were all flat.

"Liu Dai was close to Yuan Shao before, and he had bad deeds. I'm afraid it's hard to convince the public. What's more, if he is used as the governor of Yangzhou, I'm afraid his thoughts will be even more unpredictable."

Xun Yu frowned slightly and vetoed.

"No, I'm not talking about Liu Dai."

Xi Zhicai shook his head.

"I'm talking about Liu Dai's younger brother, Liu Yao."

"Liu Yao?"

Luo Jun thought for a moment before reacting.

Liu Dai and Liu Yao are brothers, both of clan background.

Liu Yao, whose name is Zhengli, was from Muping, Donglai.

The youngest son of King Xiao of Qi was granted the title of Marquis of Mouping, and the family of his descendants was Yan.Liu Yao's uncle was named Chong, who had the same name as Liu Chong, and had served as a Taiwei, but that was a long time ago.

When Liu Yao was [-] years old, his uncle Liu Wei was taken hostage by bandits. In order to rescue his uncle, Liu Yao summoned more than ten people to kill him in the den of robbers. After becoming famous, he was promoted as Xiaolian, worshiped as a doctor, and moved to the county magistrate of Xiayi.

Liu Yao was an upright man and didn't care about his official position. Because he refused the entrustment of the powerful, he abandoned his post and fled.

Later, he was requisitioned by the state and traveled to Jinan State. The Prime Minister of Jinan was the son of Zhongchang Shi, but when Liu Yao found out that he was corrupt and broke the law, he mercilessly dismissed him.

Later, Liu Yao was requisitioned by the Sikong Mansion as a vassal, and he was removed from serving as a censor, but he did not go to take office.

The relationship between Liu Yao and Liu Dai was good. After Liu Dai surrendered, he stayed at home in Chendu and was placed under house arrest.

"If Liu Yao is the governor of Yangzhou, it would be quite appropriate."

Guo Jia also had an impression of Liu Yao. Liu Yao's reputation in the court was lower than that of Liu Dai, but he was not an unknown person.

"Liu Yao is an upright person, has a good reputation, is talented in administration, and has a rough grasp of military strategy. Moreover, because of Liu Dai's incident, it is really difficult for Sun Jian and Sun Jian to get together."

"Furthermore, Liu Yao belongs to the clan, and if Liu Yao is the governor of Yangzhou, if Liu Yao is willing, he should be able to make Yangzhou fall to us."

"Yangzhou is adjacent to Jingzhou. Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, is also a clan. A few days ago, he left Jingzhou to go to Chendu to report in person. Yangzhou and Jingzhou are the rear of our army and can be relied on."

Xi Zhicai spoke slowly, stating the pros and cons.

"Now it's mainly Liu Yao's idea."

Luo Jun nodded.

"I can visit Liu Yao, and I will take care of Liu Yao's side."

Liu Chong pondered for a while, and finally agreed with Xi Zhicai's proposal.

He really didn't have a better candidate than Xi Zhicai.

Liu Chong has always been a vassal king, and he will undoubtedly be charged with treason if he wins over and befriends too many courtiers, so Liu Chong has also become familiar with the government in recent years.

Now he has become a chariot general, but Chen Guo has been expelled from the country, and he is no longer Chen Wang.

The current Chen Guo has also become Chen Yin.

Previously, Fushou was made queen by Liu Xie, and his father Fu Wan was promoted to Zhijinwu.

In the third year of Chuping (192), Fu Wanguan paid homage to the general of Fuguo, and the third division of Yitong.

And his elder brother Fude was also appointed as the new commander of the imperial army.

Liu Chong raised his head and looked at the empty house.

What Liu Xie did sometimes seemed quite childish in his eyes, but sometimes it was quite profound.

Today, besides the [-] forbidden troops brought by Fude to support the northern front, there are nearly [-] forbidden troops in Chen Du. Some of the [-] forbidden troops have been handed over to Wang Yue, and some of them have been handed over to Wang Yue. Lu Zhi's son Lu Yu took over.

Wang Yue, Lu Yu and Fu De are the most staunch supporters of Liu Xie.

It is equivalent to saying that the [-] forbidden troops in Chen Du are firmly in the hands of Liu Xie.

And this time the Northern Expedition, Liu Chong even suspected that Liu Xie strongly urged the Imperial Army to participate in the battle, just to let the Imperial Army experience the real battlefield and have some real battle experience.

"Yangzhou, Jingzhou, the two prefectures have basically been finalized. According to Sun Jian's consistent behavior, Sun Jian will not express any views on the position of governor of Yangzhou. Yangzhou is too involved. Sun Jian also knows how much influence he has in Yangzhou."

"We want to fight for Yangzhou and Jingzhou, but there is another place that is even more important. I believe that the general should put all his focus on it."

"Only by winning this position can His Majesty be truly safe."

Xun Yu took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

"What position?"

"Yuzhou Mu."
