Chapter 1023 Thunder Means
Xun Yu glanced at Yuan Shu again, and his heavy heart suddenly relaxed a lot.

Yuan Shu is right, when it comes to judging the emperor, they may not be as good as Yuan Shu.

Liu Biao was not sure, and neither was he, but Yuan Shu was the most accurate.

"When do you think the Son of Heaven will march west?"

"It's not very likely within ten years." Yuan Shu said with confidence.

"why?"

"It's so far away, in case something happens, he doesn't have a Cepheus to drive, and he travels thousands of miles a day. Before the Western Expedition, the government affairs must be arranged. Among other things, there must be an heir, right? Last time the queen had a dystocia, her body had just recovered, and she hadn't Pregnant again, not so fast."

Yuan Shu rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled. "You don't expect the eldest son of the emperor to succeed?"

Xun Yu flicked his sleeves and left without looking back.

It is very difficult for a person like Yuan Shu to maintain his integrity.But there is one point, Yuan Shu is right, before the heir is arranged, it is unlikely that the emperor will go west.

He has spent so much effort, and he will never give up.

No matter how good the Western Regions are, can they still beat the big men?
"Hey." Yuan Shu chased after him, and said with a smile, "Are you satisfied with your successor?"

Xun Yu said without turning his head, "I haven't seen it yet, and I don't know who it is."

"I don't know?" Yuan Shu was taken aback, took two steps forward, blocked Xun Yu's path, stared at Xun Yu again and again, and nodded. "So, the emperor still takes care of your face."

"What do you mean?" Xun Yu frowned.

Yuan Shu blinked and revealed a sly smile. "The one who took over as Governor of Hedong is Cheng Yu. He left before the Chinese New Year. He didn't go to Anyi to hand over to you, maybe he went to another place to make some preparations."

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, and a cold air rose from his back and rushed straight to the back of his head.

The emperor arranged for Cheng Yu to take over as the governor of Hedong?

Cheng Yu went to Hedong, instead of handing over official duties to him, he went to another place to prepare?
Xun Yu could guess what Cheng Yu could do to prepare.He understands a little now, no wonder the Hedong garrison was surprisingly quiet years ago, and they didn't even ask for rewards every year.

Seeing the change in Xun Yu's face, Yuan Shu was envious and clicked his tongue.

"The emperor really saved you face."

-

The news of Cheng Yu taking over as Governor of Hedong was too shocking, Xun Yu was a little uneasy at the reception banquet.

After the banquet, Mrs. Tang asked with concern.

After Xun Yu explained the situation, Mrs. Tang was also a little surprised.

She still knows a thing or two about who Cheng Yu is, and she has heard it from many people before.

Sending such a ruthless person to Hedong, it seems that the emperor is really going to attack Hedong.Before this, it was not uncommon to keep Xun Yu secret so closely.

Could it be that Xun Yu was worried about the safety of the Hedong family and refused to leave?

I was still afraid that Xun Yu would lose face, so I deliberately kept him from knowing who the successor was.

Generally speaking, there will be news of the successor on the notice of appointment and dismissal.

Thinking about it this way, what Yuan Shu said made sense, the emperor really took care of Xun Yu's face.

"Wen Ruo, don't think too much about it. You can only half believe what Yuan Shu said. The emperor may have other arrangements, and it may not be related to you."

Xun Yu nodded, but said nothing.

-

Just when Xun Yu was worrying about gains and losses, Cheng Yu walked into Anyi City, took over as Hedong Yin, and announced something.

Review the county soldiers.

He wants to review the training situation of the soldiers in Hedong County to see if they have been lazy in the past few years.

The schedule is very tight, announced on the first day and reviewed on the second day.

The big clans of Anyi who came to greet him all felt that it was absurd.

How can it be so easy to review, even if it is a soldier from a county, it takes time to call, and there is no three to five days, and it is impossible to make preparations.

But they soon knew why Cheng Yu was so sure.

The county soldiers participating in the review were just outside the city, and they came with Cheng Yu.Before Cheng Yu took office, he had already gone to the camps of the battalions to meet with the generals of the county soldiers.

In addition to the seal and ribbon of Hedong Yin, he also has the emperor's warrant, which can directly mobilize the Hedong garrison.

The main force of the Hedong garrison is the Baibo Army.After being recruited by the emperor, he arranged to farm near Anyi.In the past few years, life has been good, his gratitude to the emperor has turned into loyalty, and he is full of resentment towards the Hedong family who refuses to spend the land.

The Dongdong clan who came to greet them were caught off guard, and were invited by Cheng Yu to the review site, where they stood on the general platform and watched the county soldiers' drill together.

The county soldiers were full of murderous aura, and their roars shook the sky, making people's scalp numb and their legs weak.

After the rehearsal was over, Cheng Yu asked the representatives of the great clan one by one what they thought of Du Tian. He picked up the saber ring with his thumb intentionally or unintentionally, and a sharp blade flickered in and out of his palm, which made people frightened.

After weighing the possibility of Cheng Yu's murder, these wealthy Hedong clans made a wise choice, strongly agreeing to save the land, and were willing to hand over all the excess land and make up for the tax arrears in the past ten years.

Cheng Yu was very satisfied, and immediately announced that in order to commend these big clans for their deep sense of righteousness and support for the imperial court, he would recommend their children to the imperial court as Lang, and he would join the emperor's imperial army with the selected elite soldiers.

The Hedong family wants to cry but has no tears.

This is no shortcut to becoming an official, this is simply a hostage.

But in the face of Cheng Yu, no one dared to jump out to object, so they could only forcefully smile and express their strong gratitude to Cheng Fu Yin.

In just a few days, nearly a hundred Hedong children set off, and rushed to the line together with the soldiers who performed well in the review.

Behind them, Dutian was also in full swing, and Cheng Yu suddenly had thousands of hectares of land in his hands, which he used to settle Xianbei and Hun prisoners who had surrendered for five years and could be naturalized according to regulations.

Preparations for this matter have been started since the beginning of last year. Because there is not enough land, the progress has not been fast. Some people were even sent to Hongnong in the south of the river for resettlement.

Now, Cheng Yu spent half a month to solve it.

But this is not the end.

After solving the problem of Dutian, Cheng Yu did not dismiss the county soldiers participating in the review, but led them to a county-wide inspection.Every time he went to a county, he would invite the big households in the county to visit, review the county soldiers and conduct offensive and defensive exercises.

He almost had the word threat written on his face.

But Cheng Yu didn't just threaten with force, he also used gentle means.When he walked around the county and was about to return, several Hedong people represented by Jia Kui, the mayor of Jiangyi, received a transfer order.

Jia Kui was transferred to Anyi Order, and his brother-in-law Liu Fu was a county meritorious officer.

When the news came out, the tense heartstrings of the Hedong clan finally relaxed a little.

At least there is no danger of being made into jerky by Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu's timing was just right.When he returned to Anyi, it was the beginning of spring plowing, and the people who had just acquired the land were full of energy and devoted themselves to spring plowing with a hundredfold enthusiasm.

When the news reached Henan, Xun Yu, who had been paying attention to the situation in Hedong, sighed quietly.

Both relief and regret.

He meditated for half the night, and then gave a memorial to the emperor.

After deeply reviewing his own appeasement, he also euphemistically stated that if all the counties follow Cheng Yu's example, it will be impossible to talk about voluntary land saving, and the previous promise will be wiped out.More people will use force to forcibly save the land, and conflicts will be inevitable.
