The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 263 The Inspector of Yangzhou
In April of the third year of Zhongping.

Chen Ran and his party, who were walking slowly, finally entered the territory of Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is located in Shouchun in Jiujiang County.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the period of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, because Shouchun was occupied by Yuan Shu, the government was later moved to Danyang County, but now, there is no doubt that the government is still in Shouchun.

Chen Ran's fief is Moling County, which is also in Danyang County, close to the Yangtze River.

And this Mausoleum, during the Three Kingdoms period, was renamed Jianye by Sun Quan, and became the capital of Wu State, and it will become the ancient capital of many dynasties in the future.It is today's Nanjing, whose name has been changed many times, and is now called Moling.

The current governor of Yangzhou, named Zang Yu, has been the governor of Yangzhou since the time of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, and his successors are Chen Wen, and then Liu Yao.

Zang Yu served as the governor of Yangzhou in the first year of Xiping, that is, in 172 AD, and his influence in Yangzhou was deeply rooted. After more than ten years of operation, Yangzhou may have long been like a monolith.

Chen Ran's destination is Shouchun. Although Chen Ran's fief is in Moling, he is also the governor of Yangzhou after all. If he wants to take office, he must go to Shouchun.

Besides, Chen Ran also wanted to see what kind of person the former governor of Yangzhou was.If he was a loyal minister, he would just follow Lingdi's orders. If he wanted to play some tricks, Chen Ran didn't mind solving it by force.

All in all, Chen Ran has already made up his mind that Yangzhou must be under his control.Chen Ran wants to turn Yangzhou into his rear, how can he allow others to sleep soundly on the couch?

In fact, the situation in Yangzhou is a bit complicated, not only with official forces, but also with other traitors.Although Yangzhou suffered little impact from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was unavoidable and affected to a certain extent.

Moreover, Yangzhou is also an area with ethnic issues. There are armed forces built by the Shanyue people to fight against various forces. The forces are not weak, and the Shanyue people have greater advantages in combat based on the convenience of the mountains.

In history, the Sun family came to rule Yangzhou because of Shanyue’s troubles. After all, it is extremely difficult to completely wipe out Shanyue. .

In the history of Soochow, it was more than ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China that the problem of Shanyue was resolved.

From this point of view, this Yangzhou is really troublesome.

But Chen Ran doesn't mind, the situation in Yangzhou seems a bit complicated at the moment, but in fact, if the Shanyue problem can be solved, the return will be extremely high.

Yangzhou occupies the natural danger of the Yangtze River, which is enough to hinder the invading enemy from the north. If the northern army does not know how to fight in water, it is impossible to break through Yangzhou.

Moreover, the climate in Yangzhou is sufficient to carry out large-scale agriculture. In today's era, agriculture is very important and indispensable.Because only with sufficient food reserves can we be able to fight, to stabilize the hearts of the people, and to have the confidence to rely on.

When Yangzhou is stable, you can take advantage of the situation to connect Jingzhou with it. If Yangzhou and Jingzhou are conjoined, it must be difficult for others to invade. The terrain of Jingzhou and Yangzhou is lore.

Arriving at the border of Yangzhou, Chen Ran looked left and right, and asked Huang Zhong, "Has Han Sheng ever been to Yangzhou?"

Huang Zhong looked at the branch of the Huai River in front of him, shook his head slightly and replied: "Although I have heard about it, I have never been to Yangzhou, but the terrain of Yangzhou is similar to Jingzhou."

Chen Ran smiled, and asked again: "Is Han Sheng used to water battles by boat?"

Huang Zhong nodded and replied: "This subordinate grew up in a water town. Although he has never experienced water battles, it is certainly not like fighting with horses, but the impact must not be great."

Chen Ran nodded in satisfaction. At the moment, he doesn't have any generals who specialize in water warfare. It would be best if Huang Zhong could show his strength in water warfare.

There is also the Killing God Army, Chen Ran thought, when the time comes, the Killing God Army must be trained well, not to mention specialized water warfare, but at least it must be able to fight by boat without being affected.

……

Yangzhou, Jiujiang County, Shouchun.

Inspector's House.

The governor system was set up during the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. Its original function was to supervise the actions of the states and counties and exercise supervisory power.But the development has evolved to the present, and the original supervisory power has become administrative power.

The governor is in control of the military and political affairs of a state, and his status is extremely high.

At this moment, Yangzhou Inspector Zang Yu was in Shouchun Inspector's Mansion, his face was gloomy, and there was some anger that could not be concealed.

In front of him, a person bowed his knees and saluted, waiting for Zang Yu to speak.

Zang Yu seemed to be gentle and gentle, with a proper beard, and he looked like a refined temperament, but at the moment his gloomy expression seemed a bit ferocious.

"Your Majesty is indeed very calculating." Zang Yu said in a cold voice, and he couldn't hide his anger: "I sent Zang to govern Yangzhou for many years, and now I finally got some results, so I sent others to pick them up."

The subordinates replied in a muffled voice: "My lord, Yangzhou is our fundamental place. If we lose Yangzhou, all the previous preparations will be turned into dust. My lord, if you don't want us to do it now!"

Zang Yu remained silent for a while, glanced at this person, did not answer immediately, showed a thoughtful expression, thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No."

The man was surprised and asked: "My lord, if you don't say it now, when will it be? If Chen Ran takes the lead, we may be in danger."

Zang Yu still shook his head and said: "The time has not come yet, if I wait to act first, I will definitely fall into a passive position. Of course there is more than one person in the world who has such a heart, but if I wait to act first, it will definitely cause a mob to attack."

"After all, today's world is still ruled by big men. Even if big men are already in decline, it is still not easy for us to handle. Seeing how powerful the yellow turban rebels are, will they still be unable to escape the fate of defeat in the end?"

"For the present plan, we can only wait, and don't act rashly." At this moment, Zang Yu calmed down, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

The man was still a little unwilling, and persuaded: "Then when should we wait?"

"The day your Majesty dies is the time when the world will be in chaos." Zang Yu said calmly.

The man was stunned for a moment, puzzled and said: "Your Majesty is only in his thirties now, how is it possible to be young?"

Zang Yu glanced at this person, nodded and said: "According to what the governor knows, someone in the court has already planned this time. I estimate that it will only be a few years at most, and everything will be known."

The man had a horrified look on his face, obviously the news was unexpected and he was shocked.

"This Chen Ran came at the right time, and I'm afraid His Majesty also intends to test it, so don't act rashly at this moment." Zang Yu analyzed: "There is only one plan for now!"

The man looked at Zang Yu suspiciously, and asked, "What's the lord's plan?"

"We only need to deal with Chen Ran secretly. In this way, the state shepherd sent by His Majesty is killed, and this governor is only acting as a substitute. God doesn't know, nobody knows, who can do anything to me?" Zang Yu said confidently .

PS, entangled, changed the scene, thought for a long time, didn't know how to start, and finally got out.
