I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 101 Jiangxia Rebellious

Before Fu Xie was led to the main room by the servants of the Sheriff's Mansion, Sun Jian was supported by a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old and came to greet him personally.

When Fu Xie saw this, he felt a little relieved. Being able to move around meant that the problem was not serious.

The two of them have been working together for almost a year. Although on the surface the official positions of the two were governor and governor, in reality Fu Xie was in charge of political affairs and Sun Jian was in charge of military affairs. They jointly took the lead in both civil and military affairs. During this process, Sun Jian did not participate in political affairs. He basically only discussed with Fu Xie how much food and grass he could supply before preparing to lead his army to attack.

So Fu Xie still hoped that nothing would happen to Sun Jian.

He still couldn't help but persuade him: "Wen Tai is the commander-in-chief of an army. It is better to leave the matter of ascending first to other brave generals."

Sun Jian didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "The courage of the generals. As the general, I charge in front. How can the soldiers under my command not follow me and fight the enemy bravely?"

The young man supporting Sun Jian also recognized his words.

This was not the first time Fu Xie tried to persuade him. Fu Xie also knew that he could not be persuaded, so he simply said no more and said: "Bo Fu is exactly the same as you."

Sun Jian laughed heartily when he heard this, and did not care if he accidentally pulled the wound due to negligence.

"Wen Tai, let's take a good rest first..."

Fu Xie originally planned to go back and ask Wu Jing, Han Dang and others under Sun Jian's command about the situation of the battle, but Sun Jian did not want to delay and said: "Since we are here, I just want to tell you about the situation in Longxi."

After the two sides sat down, Sun Jian said: "The biggest gain from this battle is that the Li family in Longxi is willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. With the help of the Li family, Longxi County will be able to firmly control Didao County."

In the past year, the main point of contention between them and the rebels was Longxi County. At a time when Han powerful people generally have great influence on the Qiang people, it is very necessary to win over local powerful people.

Fu Xie was very excited: "Now that Didao County has been conquered, it is only a matter of time before we capture Longxi County. A few days ago, Duke Huangfu sent a letter to ask about the situation in Liangzhou. Now that I have the good news from Wentai, I can reply to Duke Huangfu." ”

"I saw it mentioned in Huangfu's official letter that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intends to use local Qiang and Huns to farm in Sanfu. I will reply to Huangfu later."

Sun Ce, who had been standing by, suddenly said, "Uncle Fu, Father, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

Fu Xie originally felt that Sun Jian's father had no sons, so he immediately said: "Bo Fu, feel free to speak out."

Sun Ce said: "Huangfu Gong wrote a letter to reveal His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's wishes. He must have the idea of ​​​​farming. Most of the officials in Hanyang know how to farm. Uncle Fu can definitely recommend talented people among them to Huangfugong. This will not only help When you come to Huangfu Gong, the recommended people can better display their talents."

Fu Xie actually had this idea originally, but he didn't say it out loud. Sun Ce can think of this level at a young age, and in his opinion, it already belongs to the category of young talents.

He half praised and half ridiculed: "Bo Fu's future achievements will definitely surpass your father's."

Sun Jian said: "If I hadn't seen you taking Bie Cheng with me and teaching me by words and deeds, which made people enviable, I originally didn't want to bring Bo Fu to Liangzhou. Now it seems that if I let Bo Fu stay by my side for another two years, I won't be able to treat him well." When the governor's term is over and Bo Fu is old enough, he can be promoted to be a Langguan."

……

Luoyang, after the autumnal equinox, farmers began to sow wheat one after another. Liu Bian was preparing to put on a show to show his love for farming and mulberry trees, and took the opportunity to learn more about current farm tools, but an urgent news from Jingzhou interrupted him. journey.

"The Jiangxia barbarians rebelled. Shi Tianfeng, the imperial censor, was attacked by Jiangxia barbarians. His life and death are unknown."

Liu Bian immediately summoned Lu Zhidinggong and others. He did not expect that something happened to the envoy sent by the imperial court, and it was Tian Feng, a famous counselor and minister.

"Jingzhou has summoned county soldiers to prepare for the rebellion. What do you think of this matter?"

Seeing the anger that could not be concealed in Liu Bian's words, Fan Ling immediately said: "We must strictly investigate the attack on the censor. The barbarians in Jiangxia did not rebel sooner or later, but they rebelled when the censor was on inspection. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?" !" Ding Gong also said: "It's a bit too coincidental."

Lu Zhi suggested: "The Taiwei sent a letter a few days ago and is still in Yangzhou, so that the Taiwei can go to Jingzhou to take charge of counterinsurgency matters and investigate the attack on Tian Feng."

Liu Bian could not convince himself that this was a coincidence. He said: "I also think this matter is suspicious. Since the princes agree with me, the worst case scenario should be used to decide the court's response."

Although Dong Zhong on the side felt that he was not very suspicious, he did not raise any objection after all.

He Miao asked: "What is the worst case scenario that His Highness said?"

Liu Bian said one word at a time: "Someone used the excuse of Jiangxia barbarian rebellion to attack and kill the censor!"

In Liu Bian's memory, there have been too many such cases throughout the ages, and even future generations cannot avoid them.

There are so many surprises.

"I intend to send the first captain of the Xiyuan School to Jingzhou to join the Taiwei. What do you think?"

Ding Gong, Fan Ling and others looked at each other, not expecting Liu Bian to be so direct.

Ding Gong tentatively said: "In the past, the barbaric chaos in Jingzhou was quelled by the power of the states and counties. Even if someone really took the opportunity to attack the imperial envoys, Taiwei Ma Gong was here to find out the truth."

"Local rebellions often take a long time if the people are not employed properly. In the past, when Jingzhou District Star and others rebelled, the imperial court still needed to send Gai Yuangu to Changsha to lead the army to put down the rebellion. It is better to prepare early. Even if it is an accident, the rebellion can be put down as soon as possible."

Liu Bian remembered that it would be next year when Liu Biaodan rode into Jingzhou. At that time, Jingzhou was already full of sect thieves. He did not believe that the sect thieves appeared out of thin air. They must have already existed. At most, they were hiding now.

It's better to take this opportunity to attack some of them.

Facing Liu Bian's rebuttal, Ding Gong seemed to be convinced and said no more.

Although Ma Rixi was a Taiwei, and before becoming a Taiwei, he was a captain of the Shesheng Battalion, one of the five battalions of the Northern Army, he actually had no experience in leading troops in war.

He Miao asked: "Who does Your Highness prefer to lead the army?"

Currently there are four Xiyuan captains: Cao Cao, Feng Fang, Xia Mou and Huang Zhong.

Among them, Feng Fang, needless to say, is Cao Jie's son-in-law and a well-connected household. Xia Mou was incompetent and was killed by rebel soldiers due to uneven distribution of spoils in history. Huang Zhong was actually considered a relative of Gai Xun. His qualifications were slightly lacking and he was from Nanyang, Jingzhou.

Therefore, among the remaining Xiyuan captains, only Cao Cao could be sent to Jingzhou.

After Liu Bian named Cao Cao, Lu Zhi reminded: "Your Highness wants to use the Xiyuan Campus Lieutenant Department, so he should write to His Majesty immediately to obtain His Majesty's consent."

"What Master Lu said is absolutely true, I will write a memorial right now!" Liu Bian was so anxious that he forgot to ask Emperor Ling for instructions.

After writing the memorial, Liu Bian said: "You can prepare for the expedition first, and you can set off immediately after your father approves the memorial."
