The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1018
After the banquet, Zheng Chong politely declined Yang Hu's request to stay, and confirmed with Yang Hu the time to go north to Jizhou, then left Nanyang immediately and returned to Beijing to return to his command.

This appointment is of great importance, so Sima Yan sent Zheng Chong as the imperial envoy to announce the decree. You must know that Zheng Chong, like Yang Hu, is a higher-level existence than the Sangong. It also brought a bit of solemnity to this imperial decree.

Another main reason for sending Zheng Chong here is that Zheng Chong and Yang Hu have a good personal relationship. Sima Yan secretly told Zheng Chong that Yang Hu must accept the order no matter what. If Yang Hu refuses to accept the order If so, it would undoubtedly be fatal. There is only Ma Long on Jizhou's side now, and the army of the Shu Kingdom will come to attack at any time. If Yang Hu can't reach Jizhou as soon as possible, the situation there is critical, and there is a possibility that someone will fall. Dangerous, so this time Zheng Chong came here with a special mission.

However, it is clear that Zheng Chong's mission went well this time. Yang Hu accepted the imperial decree very readily, and did not make any bargaining for the re-appointment of the rebellious governor. evaluate.

After agreeing with Yang Hu to set off in three days, Zheng Chong hurried back to Luoyang to return Sima Yan to his life. Bringing this good news back to the capital, it is estimated that Sima Yan's headache could be alleviated a lot.

After Zheng Chong left Nanyang, Yang Hu began to prepare. After all, the affairs were complicated, and three days was enough time.

"Yang Dudu, this imperial court is too impolite. You come as soon as you call, and go as soon as you call. At the beginning, you were the governor and hoped for the overall situation. The imperial court said you would withdraw, but now when it is overthrown, you just think of it. You went to put out the fire, you agreed too readily, at least you have to have some conditions." When the imperial envoy was there, Du Yu didn't dare to complain, and when he left, Du Yu couldn't hold back. Behind him, he kept complaining.

Yang Hu smiled slightly, and said: "The king's order is greater than the sky, do you want me to resist the order and not obey it? Do you know that if I resist the order, I will lose my head."

Du Yu was at a loss for words, but he still refused to give up and said: "The court must at least have an attitude, at least it must give an explanation, but they forcibly dismissed you at the beginning."

Yang Hu said indifferently: "The current Dajin is in turmoil, and the building is about to collapse. What's the point of worrying about personal success or failure? After I leave, Nanyang will be handed over to you. The burden here is no less heavy. Yuan Kai , when the country is in danger, it is the time when we need to sacrifice our lives and forget to die, the heavy responsibility is on our shoulders, you and I should encourage each other."

Du Yu clasped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Governor, the appointment will fulfill the mission."

This time Yang Hu was transferred to Jizhou, and Du Yu was officially promoted from the governor of Nanyang to the governor of Jingzhou.The position of governor can be big or small, like Yang Hu returned to Jizhou this time to retake the post of rebellious governor, which is the highest rank in the rank of governor, followed by the governor of a state, such as the governor of Yangzhou , the governor of Jingzhou, and further down, there is the governor of Nanyang like Du Yu.These county governors are not permanent positions, and only when there is a war in the county or where troops are garrisoned, they will be appointed.

After Yang Hu arrived in Jingzhou, he was in charge of all military affairs in Jingzhou, and Du Yu had always been under his command. This time Du Yu succeeded him as the governor of Jingzhou and became the highest military and political officer in Jingzhou.Moreover, the post of governor of Jingzhou is definitely not easy. Facing the two soldiers of Shu Kingdom Jiang Wei and the rebel general Zhong Hui, he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

However, compared to the North Road, Jingzhou on the South Road is easier. Nanyang is an important town that has been operated by the Jin State for many years, and with Du Yu's ability, it is not a big problem to hold Nanyang, but this is by no means easy for Du Yu Any small negligence and carelessness may lead to disastrous consequences.

Du Yu listened to Yang Hu's instructions, his expression turned serious, and he answered solemnly.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and when it came time for Yang Hu to set off, all the generals from each battalion came to see him off. The ten-mile long pavilion was crowded with people, and the generals said goodbye to Yang Hu.

Yang Hu noticed Hu Lie's lonely appearance. Hu Lie's return to Jin this time was all because of Yang Hu's relationship. Yang Hu's departure this time made him feel uneasy.

"General Hu, from now on, you will serve under Du Dudu's command the same as under mine. As long as you are willing to serve the imperial court, the imperial court will definitely not let you down." Yang Hu comforted him.

Only then did Hu Lie feel a little more at ease, but he was still not as secure as Yang Hu was.In Hu Lie's hands, he has a blood feud with the Sima family. If Yang Hu hadn't forced him to protect him, it might be difficult to keep Hu Lie's head.After Hu Lie returned to the state of Jin, he still hadn't made an inch of merit, which made him very worried. Only meritorious deeds can be his amulet, and only then can he have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and atone for his crimes. Therefore, Hu Lie has always been active, and Yang Hu has always been his motivation.

Yang Hu only took some soldiers and entourages, left Nanyang, and headed north.

This time, Yang Hu did not go to Luoyang at all, but went straight to Yecheng. Now that the military situation in Jizhou is urgent, there is no time for Yang Hu to go to Luoyang leisurely for a few days. Yang Hu must rush to Yecheng as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation .

All the way to Xiaoxing and overnight, Yanghu hurriedly drove the road, crossed the Yellow River, and saw that Yecheng was not far away.

After Ma Long got the letter, he immediately dispatched soldiers and horses to respond. Now that the ground in Jizhou is not peaceful, Ma Long is still very cautious. He has already sent people to guard at the Yellow River Ferry, and when Yang Hu arrives, he can personally meet him. welcome.

Yang Hu soon arrived at the ferry of the Yellow River, but this trip Yang Hu was lightly packed and only brought a small number of people with him, and his things were even more pitiful, only carrying one or two large troops, so the people sent by Ma Long did not They didn't notice Yang Hu. When they found out that Yang Hu had already crossed the Yellow River, he was not far from Yecheng.

Ma Long was in great embarrassment, these scouts must have had nothing to eat, Yang Hu had crossed the Yellow River a long time ago and they didn't notice, Ma Long immediately went out of the city to greet him, and took Yang Hu back to Ye City.

Yang Hu and Ma Long had never met before, and had any intersections, but as the chief and deputy governors of Jizhou, they would definitely not deal with each other less in the future, so Ma Long, apart from being a little nervous, was still respectful .

Yang Hu didn't feel strange at all when he returned to Jizhou. This place where he once fought left many memories for Yang Hu. Back then, when he opened and closed freely and proudly laughed at the world, he played in the command room, and the strong captives were wiped out in ashes. What a pleasant scenery, now back to Jizhou, the mountains and rivers are still the same, but things are different.
