I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 197: Divorce plan

Fu Xie's selection method had good intentions. He wanted to try not to affect the lives of Qiang families in the next six months or even longer.

At present, the Han army is winning more battles against the rebels than losing.

Nowadays, the imperial court has relaxed the restrictions on Qiang people becoming officials. Compared with literacy and the more difficult classics attainment, military merit, as one of the ways of promotion, is undoubtedly simpler and more direct.

Who doesn't know that Sun Jian, the governor of Hanyang, loves warriors who are equally brave as him.

As long as you achieve military success, you don't have to worry about being embezzled.

But no one can die in a war.

Some people avoid this opportunity like a snake or a scorpion, but some people want to take advantage of it and take a chance.

The Qiang parents of this family do not want their eldest son to join the army. After all, they can already have enough food and clothing just by farming.

In the past, you could be flexible in this situation and spend some money and food to hire someone to join the army instead.

What happened now was that the government had increased the number of Yi Cong needed, which led to more money and food being spent. The price the Qiang family's parents had already paid was no longer enough.

We can only quickly take Fu Xie's decree and deal with it impartially.

After watching the excitement and returning together, the generals were still vaguely divided into three groups, but they started discussing with each other: "Before arriving in Liangzhou, I received news that the Shanyu of the Southern Huns was willing to send troops to Liangzhou to help. In this way, There is no need to increase the number of Qiang people's righteous followers. But looking at this posture, it doesn't look like it is decreasing."

They had seen everything perfect in Ji County before, but now they found an omission, so they naturally had to pay attention to it.

Zhao Yun and others had no intention of interfering. They had Huangfu Song's strict order and could only watch the excitement.

After all, the Han army was defeated in Liangzhou not once or twice in history, so there is no need to be careless.

It's also good as a source of conversation.

Sun Jian asked curiously: "What is the best strategy?"

Several village officials who heard the news and came to deal with the matter saw the strange onlookers and guessed their identities. He did not dare to drive these people away, but he became increasingly anxious, fearing that they would intervene.

On the other side, Sun Jian explained to Huangfu Song: "Now the soybeans have been planted, and there are still three months before autumn planting. The previous decree to increase Yicong has been issued in advance. If Fu Shijun wants to follow the trend, even if he does not use it, he can still do it first Train them as a reserve and release them back home before planting in the fall.”

In this regard, petty officials usually turn a blind eye. It is not a matter of choice who they choose. As long as they are physically qualified, it is of course better to do it voluntarily.

The Qiang parents had tears in their eyes, but they did not dare to scold the village officials.

After a discussion among the generals, they all agreed that Huang Zhong's words were the best.

The generals left the camp, but Huangfu Song was not idle. He was discussing the plan to attack Jincheng County with Sun Jian, who had been leading troops in dozens of battles with rebels, large and small.

Huangfu Song said: "When I came, your Majesty once relayed a strategy to me, which may be used here."

Just human nature.

Huang Zhongdao: "Maybe it's because we want to be prepared!"

When introducing the rebel generals of Jincheng County, Sun Jian said: "There is a general under Han Sui named Yan Xing who is quite brave. I fought with him many times but failed to capture him. Later, Fu Shijun investigated his past and felt that he If you can understand the great righteousness, even though you are Han Sui's son-in-law, you may be able to recruit him to surrender."

How could His Majesty tell it from his own mouth?

Huangfu Song did not answer, but took out a pen and paper, handed it to Sun Jian, and said, "Wentai, I will read it and you will write it."

Sun Jian was confused. His handwriting was not good-looking, but he still wrote three full pages as instructed, all of which were words of praise for Yan Xing.

After finishing writing, Huangfusong put the three pages aside and continued to ask Sun Jian about the situation in Jincheng County and its surrounding areas. When the conversation was almost over and the ink on the paper had dried, Huangfusong picked up a brush and daubed it on the paper in large sections.

Sun Jian didn't understand at first. He was in charge of military affairs, and political affairs had always been left to Fu Xie. He hadn't written so many words for a long time, so why was it all in vain?

Just as he was about to ask, he heard Huangfu Song's reply: "Han Sui is a capricious person. In the past, when he was in Youfufeng, he could abandon the kingdom first, but now he will definitely doubt his own subordinates."

Sun Jian fought with Han Sui for a long time, and he soon understood. He laughed: "This plan is very clever. Han Sui must be afraid that there will be another Han Sui among his men!"

While laughing, Sun Jian sighed: "These conspirators have really dirty hearts!"

"But it does work! Han Sui will definitely fall into the trap!"

After saying that, Sun Jian laughed again. Suddenly he saw Huangfu Song staring at him without saying anything. Sun Jian suddenly remembered that this strategy seemed to have been obtained from the emperor, and the person who implemented it was the person in front of him.

He quickly changed his words: "General, I am talking about the person who proposed this idea to Your Majesty..."

Huangfu Song then turned back and reread the corrected letter, and found that there were no flaws. He said, "As for handing over this letter to Yan Xing, let the literary station make arrangements for it!"

Sun Jian accepted the order and didn't mention it, since there was no need to keep the message secret anyway.

Jia Xu, who was slowly sorting out news from the school affairs department in Luoyang, suddenly sneezed a few times. He felt that someone must be cursing him behind his back.

It can't be that he was caught slacking off, right? The room he was in was already the most secret room in the school affairs department... After hesitating for a moment, Jia Xu sped up his movements.

……

Huangfu Song led his army and set off again without waiting for the arrival of the Huns cavalry.

Yi Cong, a Qiang man, only brought the original three thousand.

Jincheng County, Yunwu County.

Yan Xing hurried to the county government office and met Han Sui after reporting.

"Sir, I wonder why you have called me back so urgently?" As Han Sui's son-in-law, Yan Xing's status among Han Sui's tribe was only lower than Han Sui's, and even Han Sui's son could not compare with him.

Before Han Sui could speak, Yan Xing drank from a pot of cold water placed beside him, wiped the corners of his mouth casually, and said: "The Han army on the frontline has been making a lot of moves recently, and I haven't finished inspecting the troops and horses stationed in various places. "

Seeing Yan Xing's disgraced face, obviously because he was in a hurry, Han Sui smiled and said, "Sit down, Yan Ming. With you here, why should I be afraid of the Han army! Let's talk about the inspection..."

"Yes!"

……

As he was talking, Han Sui suddenly asked again: "I heard that Sun Jian sent someone to deliver a letter to you. Is this true?"

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it..." Yan Xing calmly handed the letter he carried to Han Sui. There were many wrinkles on the envelope, and it was slightly wet with Yan Xing's sweat.

Han Sui thought to himself, this must have been kept close to his body!

He opened the letter and the first thing he saw was the smear mark.

Yan Xing smiled and said: "I have long heard that Sun Jian is just a rough and reckless man. I didn't expect that there were so many omissions in the letter..."

Han Sui raised his head and glanced at Yan Xing. He vaguely saw his name in the erased place, but the content that was not erased did not contain a word of solicitation.

He asked: "Yan Ming, how many letters has Sun Jian written to you before?"
