The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 449 Ready to Move (Part [-])
Zhao Yun's words were reasonable and penetrating. Rao Wenhui was full of wit and tricks. After hearing this statement, he couldn't help but fall silent.

That's right, since Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou in the past, all affairs in the foreign vassals have been dominated by his own cronies and direct descendants. At that time, he used Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and senior officials to each lead the affairs of a state. After Yuan Shang came to the throne, Yuan Tan rebelled and Yuan Shang laid After Qingzhou, at the beginning, Zhang He and Tian Feng used Zhang He and Tian Feng to give an overview of Qingzhou's civil and military affairs and stabilize people's livelihood.

However, after Qingzhou's military and political affairs and people's livelihood stabilized, Yuan Shang summoned Zhang He and Tian Feng back under the pretext of going on an expedition. The prefects and magistrates of the county are fully staffed, and there are state governors and state governors on them, who make decisions on government and military affairs respectively, without infringing on each other. The state governor and the state governor, and the heads of counties and counties in Zhili can join the two governors, but they cannot directly get involved in military affairs.

In this way, there are four restrictions on the military and political affairs of a state. Although there are many rules and regulations in handling affairs and administration, and the efficiency is reduced, it has greatly strengthened Yuan Shang's control over the local area.

During the three-year cultivation and development period, Yuan Shang extended this strategy to Bingzhou, Youzhou, Liaodong and other places.Today's Yuan Xi and Gao Gan have also shifted from state pastoral governors to state governors, and Tian Yu is only a county guard in Liaodong.

But even under such circumstances, even Yuan Shang's relatives could not control the affairs of a state alone, and Zhao Yun, who was not related to Yuan Shang, was appointed as the governor of Yongliang, and he was in charge of all the power of the two states in Guanzhong and Yongliang.

On the surface, it seems that the scenery is boundless, but in Hebei, how many pairs of fierce and jealous eyes are staring at Zhao Yun's back.

So, from Zhao Yun's current point of view, he cannot disobey Yuan Shang's order, which will bring disaster to himself and embarrass Yuan Shang.

After hearing Zhao Yun's explanation, Wen Hui fell silent, and the other ten carved feather arrows had no objection, so the matter of dispatching troops was settled in this way.

Zhao Yun immediately started to prepare the soldiers and horses for the expedition, the dispatch of food and grass, and the military preparations in the rear.

In the land of six counties and one country in Yongzhou, there are about 400 soldiers and horses scattered in various counties and counties, and there are about 100 Chang'an regular troops mobilized directly by Zhao Yun. In the Guanzhong land more than [-] years ago, Qin State Occupying this fertile land can support nearly [-] million soldiers, but now it is less than one-tenth of that at that time, which shows that Wen Hui's words about the decline of Guanzhong are true.

This time, Zhao Yun did not use any local soldiers and horses, but only prepared [-] regular troops from Chang'an. Zhuo Haozhao led [-] soldiers to guard Chang'an.

In addition, Zhao Yun also sent a letter to Yan Xing of Jincheng, ordering him to quickly lead troops from Liangzhou to support.

Just when Zhao Yun was about to send troops, an important person came to find Zhao Yun through Ma Yunlu's door.

This person is Cai Yan.

Still so graceful and graceful, still so mature and charming, still so natural beauty, Cai Yan's appearance has not faded, perhaps because of her healthy regimen, she looks like a person in her twenties at the age of [-], But it is a bit more familiar than a girl, which is intoxicating and obsessive.

Zhao Yun was naturally aware of the relationship between Cai Yan and Yuan Shang, and Zhao Yun didn't dare to be negligent when he was thrown away by this real and unknown mistress, and hurriedly greeted her.

"Yunlu, it's so late, why did you invite everyone here? It's delaying people's rest!" Zhao Yun looked at Ma Yunlu with reproach.

Ma Yunlu stuck out his tongue helplessly, and said with a smile: "I can't help it, it's my sister Zhaoji who insists on coming, and said to see you on something important, and I can't stop her."

Zhao Yun turned his head to look at Cai Yan, wondering: "Master Cai came here late at night, what's the matter?"

Cai Yan stayed in Chang'an for so long, and was taken care of by Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu.

"I heard that the governor has obtained the general order of Hebei and intends to send troops to Hanzhong?"

Zhao Yun looked quite happy, obviously being able to send troops to fight is very disrespectful to him.

"That's right, my lord's military order is like a mountain, ordering Yun to take the troops of Yongliang to go south to Hanzhong to attack Shu, Yun has to follow it."

There was a trace of sadness on Cai Yan's peerless face, and he said: "Grand Governor, Guanzhong has suffered years of military turmoil, and the people have suffered unspeakably. Recently, under the rule of the Great Governor, they have just had a respite and the people's livelihood has recovered. This is the time to mobilize troops. , I'm afraid there's something wrong?"

Zhao Yun pursed his lips: "Yun also knows what Master Cai said, but the Lord's military order is like a mountain, and Yun has to follow it."

Cai Yan shook his head and said: "The governor's words are pedantic. As the saying goes, 'You will not accept the orders of the emperor outside'. The people's livelihood in Guanzhong has not yet fully recovered, and the burden on the people is too heavy for the easy mobilization of troops. The road to Shu is difficult and it is not easy to attack. Yuan Xianfu is far away. In Jizhou, I don't know the situation in Guanzhong, why didn't the governor write to him, asking him to take back the general?"

Zhao Yun frowned and said, "This...I'm afraid it won't work. Yun has already written to Yan Xing in Jincheng, asking him to send troops to accompany me. Besides, all the soldiers and horses are fully equipped, everything is ready, and the generals have already left. , I can’t do without fighting.”

There was a trace of worry on Cai Yan's face, and he was silent for a long time, before he said: "If it is necessary to send troops, why didn't the governor take Hao Zhao? Why did he call Yan Xing from Jincheng all the way away?"

Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard the words, changed his mind, and said with a smile: "Hao Zhao is the No. 1 of the ten carved feather arrows under Yun's command! He is the best at defense, and he can be called the number one city defender in the world. He is an important city in Chang'an. It's me at all, I don't let him defend, I don't worry."

After a pause, Zhao Yun said again: "As for Yan Xing, everyone Cai has already said just now that the land of Hanzhong is difficult and dangerous, and it is not easy to conquer. Jincheng of Zhou State trained troops and trained generals, and the army was very powerful, with his help, the attack on Shu could be done with half the effort."

About calling Yan Xing to attack Hanzhong together, Zhao Yun did not tell the truth to Cai Yan, speaking from his heart, he never thought about asking Yan Xing to help, but he was just afraid that something would happen after his expedition, so he called him, calling it to send troops together, but in fact it was to see with him.

Cai Yan frowned, thought for a while, and then heaved a long sigh.

"Captain Zhao, to be honest, Cai Yan always feels that there is something wrong with your dispatch of troops this time...but I can't say where the wrong thing is."

Zhao Yun smiled and said: "Everyone, Cai, worry too much. Although I, Zhao Yun, am not a military strategist or a soldier fairy, since I became an official, I have followed my lord in conquests from east to west, from north to south. Not to mention that I have no defeats. , Zhang Lu's generation, don't worry about anything."

Ma Yunlu also said: "Sister, that is to say, my husband has fought for so many years, and the famous princes in the world don't mention it, can't he still destroy a mere Zhang Lu? Sister, don't worry."

Cai Yan: "..."

*************************
Liangzhou, Jincheng.

Jincheng was originally the former site of Han Sui. It has been operated by Han Sui for many years. Although it is located in the frontier, it is very rich.
After Han Sui was betrayed by Yan Xing, he died in mourning and lost all of Jincheng's possessions. Now Yan Xing has received Yuan Shang's edict to go to Liangzhou to gather troops and rectify the Qiang people. feet.

Yan Xing is Xiong Wei's general, his martial arts are top-notch in the world, and his reputation for bravery is no less than that of Ma Chao. When the princes of Liangzhou heard that he was stationed in Jincheng, they were all frightened and lived in peace. They did not dare to make mistakes easily. The residents of the various tribes of the Qiang nationality who fought openly and secretly against the court officials became more honest after learning that Yan Xing had returned to Jincheng.

In the land of Liangzhou in the past, the two most powerful warlords were Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the most respected Han generals of the Qiang tribe were Ma Chao and Yan Xing. Now, Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son were defeated and surrendered. Yuan Shang was in Hebei, while Han Sui was dead and defeated. Yan Xing was left standing in Jincheng by virtue of his own prestige. The effect of the Qiang people is much better.

Just when Yan Xing was having a good time, Zhao Yun's order to transfer troops came from Chang'an.

When Yan Xing saw the troop transfer order, his old face immediately pulled down.

Zhao Yun dispatched him to send troops to Jincheng and leave Xiliang to attack Hanzhong with him. It seemed nothing on the surface, but Yan Xing knew very well in his heart that this was just a strategy to contain him because he was afraid that he would take the opportunity to make trouble.

Zhao Yun is looking at him.

Thinking of this, Yan Xing gritted his teeth angrily.

The person who recommended him to join Yuan Jun was Zhao Yun. Logically, the relationship between the two should be good, and Yan Xing has always been careful to get along with Zhao Yun with the purpose of being able to make friends with him.

Unexpectedly, ever since he knew that he secretly kept Ma Teng and plotted against his old master Han Sui, Zhao Yun's attitude towards Yan Xing changed. Perhaps it was because he looked down on his character, or because Yan Xing's affairs were too deep in the city, which made Zhao Yun's attitude toward Yan Xing He had a deep fear.

The relationship between the two became worse and worse.

Now Zhao Yun has been appointed as the governor of Yongliang, and he controls all things in Yongliang. Although Yuan Shang asked Yan Xing to come to Liangzhou to supervise the soldiers, he was only the governor of the state, and he was appointed as the prefect of Jincheng. There is a state governor who divides power with him, and there are Liangzhou patrol inspectors who supervise him at all times to limit his power.It can't be compared with Zhao Yun, the governor of Yongliang who is enough to make a crowd.

Every time he thought of this, Yan Xing felt a little unbalanced in his heart.

When Yuan Shang fought Cao Cao in the decisive battle in Guanzhong, he saved Ma Teng by himself. It can be said that he made great contributions. After Yuan Shang left, he served as Zhao Yun's deputy to train soldiers and worked hard. Later, when he came to Jincheng, he frightened the various princes here. Not to mention, even the Qiang people, who Pang De and Ma Dai were not able to appease completely, were subdued by their own rectification!
How is this kind of credit compared to that of Zhao Yun who was pampered in Chang'an?No worse than him!
Why can he be the governor of Yongliang, but I can only be a mere military governor of Liangzhou?
People suffer from dissatisfaction.

With the passage of time and the stability of the status quo, in Yan Xing's heart, the inherent restlessness began to germinate slowly.

Of course, if it was just his own internal cause, there wouldn't be any big troubles. The most he could do would be to slander Zhao Yun in his stomach and dissatisfy Yuan Shang.

The bad thing is that the eyes of many people in the world are fixed on Yan Xing at this moment.

But those who keep an eye on Yan Xing are all in trouble.

Except for Xu Shu from Luoyang and Zhuge Liang from Xiangyang... even Guo Jia, a genius from Xuchang, never left Xumi in Guanzhong.
