Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 257
"You are Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe?"

"I know you. You were the one who made a plan to defend Guzang County in the previous battle with Xianbei, didn't you?"

The emperor looked at the man in surprise and asked with a smile.

Jia Xu looked at the Son of Heaven excitedly, and was so excited that he was even speechless. After trembling for a long time, he said: "I dare not be a minister." He is only a half-child, and he has no city at all.

The emperor thought to himself, and asked again: "Today, all the ministers are invited to play, why don't you get up?"

"It's the first time for the ministers to go to court, and they don't know about it," Jia Xu said with some fear.

"Hahaha, that's it!"

"You are an honest gentleman! Goodness, you have the style of Zheng Gong!" The emperor nodded with great satisfaction, and Jia Xu felt even more bitter. He never thought that telling the truth would make the emperor value himself more. He is different from others. He He didn't have too many ambitions, and he would be content with being stable for a lifetime, but a half-lord is like a tiger, if he can, how much he hopes that the emperor can beat himself out and never hire him.

Seeing that Jia Xu was a little nervous, the emperor held his hand and said, "You don't have to be afraid. I think that you are a great talent. In the future, you will definitely be a pillar of the court and one of the three lords." The two chatted for a long time , Jia Xu was inexplicably valued by the emperor, and he had no choice but to accept it. The emperor chatted with him for a long time, and asked him some political affairs. There was nothing unreasonable in his answer, and there was nothing too amazing about it.

When talking about the possible military outbreak in Youzhou, Jia Xu thought for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, if you send troops from Youzhou, supply weapons, and rush from Luoyang to Youzhou, although there is water transportation, it will take a lot of money." A large amount of manpower is being used for farming at this time, if the peasants are used, I am afraid that it will not be good for Nongsang."

"Oh? I don't know if Wenhe has any suggestions?"

"Your Majesty does not know, but all the noble families have stored a large number of guards and slaves in the mansion, equipped with weapons, just like private soldiers, especially in Yuyangqing and other places. Such behavior is even more serious. Your Majesty can order the noble families to send people. Lead these guards, carry out supply transportation, and serve as civilian husbands."

The emperor suddenly grinned, clapped his hands, and said, "This is a great act, and it should be so!"

"Also, Your Majesty, in recent years, the cultivated land has increased dramatically, and food and grass are abundant. The same is true for the aristocratic family. The food reserves for these guards can be used by the aristocratic family without using the treasury."

"good!"

"Your Majesty, since the emergence of the official school, these great families have never sent their children to study in the official school. Most of them are teaching privately in the mansion. Your Majesty can force the children of the aristocratic family to go to the official school to study and not to teach privately, and those great Confucian scholars who teach the children of the same clan in the mansion will be sent to the frontier official schools where there is a lack of teachers."

".good."

"Your Majesty, I am quite familiar with the matter of investigation and picketing. Now the embroidered emissary, although he has made open and secret visits, can't distinguish between good and evil. He can offer a reward of a hundred gold to make the officials expose each other. Those who are willing to expose bad things will also be rewarded heavily, and those who expose can be protected by embroidered clothes messengers, and their names will not be revealed. In this way, the administration of officials will definitely be clearer."

".Can"

The emperor looked at him blankly.

The next day, after the emperor issued a series of decrees, the noble families and all the officials from the noble families hugged their heads and mourned. Disciple, do you still want to work in a distant place?The children of the family have to go to government schools to study like the children of poor families!

Oh my god, what crime did we do? ?
Afterwards, the most terrifying thing was that Zhang He announced a new government order with a smile. There was a heavy reward for reporting, and no matter their identities, they could expose each other. Among them, none of them dared to talk about any political affairs, and the expressions of all the officials changed. Within a few days, Zhang He arrested the three ministers under the pretext of being reported.

As for who made the report, Zhang Yun said: "The safety of the recommender must be protected, and it cannot be shown to the public!"

All the officials are at a loss, that is to say, you can arrest whoever you want?Still can't tell the reason?
When all the officials in the court were crying, Zhang Wen who arrived in Youzhou was very happy.

Because the emperor agreed to his performance and asked him to solve the banditry in Youzhou as soon as possible, and to completely eliminate the bandits in North Korea. Zhang Wen had been waiting for this day for a long time, but the only person who was not very happy was the emperor. He didn't agree to use the Northern and Southern Army, but only agreed to let Dong Zhuo and Huangfusong listen to him. Although Zhang Wen wanted to directly use the Northern and Southern Army to quickly put down the bandits.

However, the new army is enough, after all, the opponent is nothing more than a tiny place.

When he heard that Zhang Wen had arrived, Huangfusong was not so happy. Although he hoped that Zhang Wen could start this war and gain more military exploits, he hoped that it was Duan Jiong who came. Zhang Wen, as a captain, did not Duan Jiong is so famous and has no record to speak of. He naturally hopes to be under the command of a handsome man who is good at fighting. However, the Han army is elite, which is not a problem.

Dong Zhuo also quickly returned to Youzhou. For the matter of the canal, due to his meritorious service, he was posthumously named a county marquis, and achieved the position of protecting the Huns. Given the opportunity to make meritorious service, he brought his elite soldiers, including Tai Shici and other warriors, to Youzhou to meet Zhang Wen directly.

Huangfusong had visited the Taiwei once before, but he hadn't seen him again since, and was waiting for Dong Zhuo to arrive.

One day, upon hearing Dong Zhuo's arrival, Huangfusong rushed to meet him, and the two met outside the camp. Huangfusong smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Greetings to Marquis Dong!" Dong Zhuo laughed and helped Huangfusong up quickly, Said: "Why do you have to do this, Zhuo Hede, let you wait here!"

The two exchanged greetings for a while before they went to meet Zhang Wen together. At the same time, they also brought many warriors under his tent. In the big camp, Zhang Wen looked at the surrounding military officials. Most of them were strong men. , without squinting, stood behind Dong Zhuo and Huangfusong respectively, Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "When the Taiwei comes, there must be no bandits, and the territory is clear."

"I don't know when the Taiwei is willing to send troops?"

Zhang Wen stroked his beard and said, "We still have to wait for food and grass before we can fight!"

"But if Luoyang wants to transport grain and grass to Youzhou, it will take dozens of days." Dong Zhuo, who was eager to make contributions, frowned and said. One person suggested that, since it was to eliminate banditry for North Korea's Sanhan, of course Sanhan should provide food for the Han army."

Huangfusong and Dong Zhuo looked at each other in astonishment, what kind of brazen person could make such a suggestion, asking the other party to provide food to help them conquer him?

"Dare to ask Mr. Zhang, who came up with such a good plan?"

"Heritage is also."

Oh, so that's the case, Dong Zhuo and Huangfusong nodded in understanding, and their faces gradually calmed down. After hearing about Rengong's strategy, there is nothing to be surprised about.

"I need a person who can speak eloquently. I don't know if I go to Sanhan for me. Can you have a good choice?"

Everyone looked at each other, these are all brash men in the army, they can march and fight, but if they are eloquent, it seems that they really can't do it. They were thinking about it, and suddenly a strong man came out from the crowd, facing Zhang Wen bowed and said, "This subordinate is willing to go!"

Looking at the valiant warrior in front of him, Zhang Wen was overjoyed, and quickly asked, "Who is this strong man?"

"Your subordinate Lu Bu, Marquis of the New Army!"
