Han Dao world

Chapter 864
With the camp gate in sight, Zhang He slowly reined in his mount and turned his head to look south.

He was ordered by the judge to lead his troops to station outside the city to prevent the emperor's army from crossing the Zhang River.Originally prepared for a hard fight, unexpectedly after the emperor entered Wei County, he was only concerned with saving the fields in Neihuang and Fanyang, and had no intention of entering Yecheng at all.

This seemingly military move made the battle plan prepared by the reviewer empty, and had to be adjusted, instead of taking the initiative to attack and defeat them one by one.

This plan is obviously very risky, but frightened by the power of the judge and Tian Feng's wisdom, there are few people who dare to raise objections, including him and Gao Lan.

But that doesn't mean there won't be questions in private.

Gao Lan has it, and so does he.

"Ah Weng." The gate of the camp opened, and Zhang Xiong, the eldest son who stayed behind in the camp, came out, followed by a Confucian scholar.

Seeing the Confucian scholar, Zhang He got off his horse and bowed his hands in salute.

"I didn't expect to see Beijun here."

The Confucian scholar bowed his hands and saluted with a smile. "Is the general safe?"

"It's alright, thank you for your concern, Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Bei came just in time, I have a few doubts, and I just want to write a book and ask Mr. Mr. Bei for advice."

The Confucian scholar said a few words politely, and entered the camp with Zhang He.

His name is Bei Zhan, and he is also from Hejian County, and he is from the same hometown as Zhang Yun.Although Zhang He was a martial artist, he respected Confucian scholars very much. He also studied the scriptures in his spare time, and asked Bei Zhan for advice if he didn't understand.

The two entered the tent, Zhang Xiong arranged food and drink, and sat beside them.

Zhang He asked what he meant.

Bizhan's expression was a little unnatural, he held back for a while, and then said: "Xun You, the governor of Youyan, has led his troops into Jizhou. He sent people to the counties to announce the imperial decree, and recommended me to enter the Taixue. The kindness is hard to refuse, so I have to Come see me."

Zhang He was startled slightly. "You Yan's guardian Xun You arrived in Jizhou? When did it happen?"

"Seven or eight days ago. There is a man named Simpi next to him. He is very familiar with the situation in Jizhou. Even an unknown person like me knows it. He sent someone to greet him."

Zhang He frowned.

He knew that Xin Pi was a hero among Ru Ying's younger generation, and it was said that he was as famous as Chen Qun.However, the family backgrounds of the two are different. Chen Qun has a famous grandfather like Chen Shi, who is even more famous.Simpi is relatively unknown to many people.

But in terms of talent, Xin Pi is stronger than Chen Qun.

Yuan Xi was able to achieve some results in Xuzhou, mainly due to two people, one is Han Xuan from Bohai, and the other is Simpi.

He actually went to Xun You's command?
"Xun You is in charge now, not Yuan Shu?" Zhang He asked seemingly casually.

"Yuan Shu is ill, and all the Youzhou soldiers have been handed over to Xun You's command, and there are about [-] to [-] infantry and cavalry."

Zhang He's heart tightened.

This was an accident.

The judge also wanted to use Yuan Shu as a bait to lure the Northern Army to attack.Now that Yuan Shu has handed over the Youzhou Army to the command of Ou Xunyou, there is no chance.

That's not luring the enemy, that's sending you to death.

"What is Xun You doing in Hejian?"

Bumble shook his head.He didn't know much about this, and after receiving Xun You's recommendation, he set off for the south.Last year, when he heard about Chang'an Taixue Lectures, he had intended to take a look at it. This time, he was recommended by Xun You, and he was right in his arms, and he didn't even have the necessary excuses.

Hearing this, Zhang He smiled wryly to himself.

Although he didn't know what Xun You was doing, but his move was too ruthless.

Even if the scholar is not a wealthy family, he is well-known in the village and has a certain influence.Xun You recommended Jizhou scholars to enter Taixue, which can not only buy people's hearts, reduce unnecessary confrontation, but also disrupt the morale of the army in Yecheng.

Once the news reaches Yecheng, those who are not very firm may be shaken.

Including himself.

Bei Zhan went south to meet him and passed his camp, probably not by accident, but with the mission of persuading him to surrender.

"The Son of Heaven has arrived in the Neihuang area, and there are still two hundred miles away. Beijun, rest in my camp for a day, and set off tomorrow."

Bei Zhan nodded and agreed.

-

"Yuan Shu is sick?" Liu Xie was greatly surprised, took the paperwork from Zhuge Liang, glanced at it, and then burst out laughing.

He thought that the inertia of history would play a role again, and he would accept Yuan Shu back to his place.

It turned out to be to avoid disaster.

Yuan Shu wrote very tragically in his letter. He was sentimental about the world and grieved for his relatives, so that his body was haggard, his eyes and ears were dim, and he couldn't manage affairs. He looked like he was about to die.

But his handwriting was composed and powerful, not at all like that of a patient.

He obviously didn't need to write it with his own hand, but he insisted on writing it with his own hand. Naturally, he wanted to tell the court his good intentions.

I am not sick, but for the sake of the court, I must be sick.

This is tantamount to writing knowledge and interest on the face, for fear that the court will not realize it.

"Reply to him, let him come and ask the imperial physicians to diagnose the pulse."

"Wei." Zhuge Liang spread out his pen and ink, and immediately drafted a reply to Yuan Shu.

Liu Xie got up, walked a few steps back and forth in the tent, and asked again: "Have the Liang Guojun soldiers arrived?"

"Soon, it will be today and tomorrow."

"Has Yuan Quan followed?"

"That's not a question."

"Send someone to ask. If she doesn't come, let her bring someone to Wei County." Liu Xie raised his head and looked into the distance. "There are a lot of documents recently, so we need to build a printing workshop in Wei County."

Zhuge Liang stopped writing, raised his head, and looked at Liu Xie with clear eyes. "If your majesty wants to appease Yuan Shu, there is nothing wrong with it. If it is just for printing documents, it seems that there is no need to invite Yuan Quan to come."

Liu Xie turned to look at Zhuge Liang. "Who can take on the heavy responsibility?"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Zhongshan woman Zhen Mi? She has worked in Hedong Yinfang, and it shouldn't be a problem to be responsible for setting up a Yinfang."

After Liu Xie thought for a while, he understood what Zhuge Liang meant.

There are many ways to appease Yuan Shu, but at this moment, it is equally important to win the hearts of Jizhou.Instead of calling Yuan Quan to Jizhou to set up Yinfang, it is better to let Zhen Mi, a native of Jizhou, take charge.

Suiyang Yinfang is indeed very important, and its influence radiates to the entire Central Plains.

"Call Zhen Mi."

Zhuge Liang responded, got up to make arrangements, then returned to his seat, and continued to draft a reply to Yuan Shu.Liu Xie paced back and forth, and asked again: "Who is better to take over as governor of Youzhou?"

"Yang Hong."

Liu Xie thought about it and accepted Zhuge Liang's suggestion.

Yuan Shu was very knowledgeable and asked to retire at the age of no doubt, the court had to reciprocate.Yang Hong is not only Yuan Shu's confidant, but also a descendant of Hongnong Yang's family. It is also a gesture of the court to let him take over as governor of Youzhou.

Yuan Shu probably also thought of this, so he took the initiative to ask for a retreat.

If he does not allow Yang Hongren to take over as governor of Youzhou, it will appear that the court is too stingy.

He knew it was a compromise.Just as the land saving he is now promoting is not a real agrarian revolution, it is just a stopgap measure.

But politics is like this, it is too difficult to get it right in one step.

As the emperor, he can only be a reformer, not a revolutionary.

"Kong Ming, what do you think of Yuan Shu?"

Zhuge Liang finished writing the document, put down his pen, and thought for a moment. "I have no talent or virtue, but I have a little understanding of the superior and inferior, the strong and the weak, good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and don't engage in unnecessary disputes. Most of the children of the family are like this, but Yuan Shao is rare."

Liu Xie thought for a while, glanced at Zhuge Liang, and laughed twice.

Zhuge Liang looked as usual.

A crisp voice came from outside the tent. "Jiangwutang Engineering Technician Zhen Mi, please see me by order."
