The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Xun Zhen wanted to acquire the commanderies of Yan and Xu, but the edict came down to Wei commandery.

This is unexpected, but it seems reasonable.

First of all, Yan and Xu Fushu, the prefectures in the state are not so easy to obtain, Xun Zhen is young and has no experience in governing the people, and it is even more difficult to obtain.

Secondly, turn around and look at Wei County. Wei County is now in chaos by thieves. The former governor was dismissed due to his weakness and incompetence. The post of governor of the county was vacant. "Talent," Huangfu Song recommended him last year on the grounds that he was "brave and knowledgeable about military affairs".

Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, for Yuan Dang, who was actively seeking to execute eunuchs, Wei County was near the commander of the Sili School, not far from the capital. When there was "something in the world", he could rely on foreign aid.

He Yong's letter and edict arrived.

In his letter, He Yong mentioned the reason why Xunzhen could not come to Yan and Xuzhi for Xunzhen, but instead obtained the prefect of Wei County for him, including these three reasons, but he did not elaborate on the third reason, only He mentioned it vaguely, and then He Yong clearly stated in the letter that Zhao Zhong was against Xunzhen’s going to Wei County, that the county government of Wei County was Zhao Zhong’s hometown, Xun Zhen was the “old official” of Huangfu Song, and Zhao Of course, Zhong did not want the old official of his political enemy to go to his hometown to be the prefect, but because of Xun Zhen's outstanding military exploits, and he stayed in Jizhou for nearly two years, and fought with the Heishan army, he was indeed a good candidate to quell the rebellion and calm Wei County. At the end of the letter, He Yong jokingly wrote: "Although Wei is not the land of Yan and Xu, it is also a town near Junjun. It is also the county." Although I couldn't ask you to come to the land of Yan and Xu, Wei county is not far from Yingchuan.

After the edict came down, although the thieves in Wei County could not go to the capital to meet the Holy Spirit, but it was not possible to take office with the edict.

"The governor, Erqianshi, and Maocai, who were filial and filial, were all obliged to help the army repair the palace money. The amount of the major county was 20 to 30 million, and the rest were different." There was a decree, and the decree wrote the amount of money that Xun Zhen should pay: four million dollars.

Jizhou is prosperous, and Wei County is also a big county. According to the degree of greed of money today, it should be more than this amount of money, but it is because Wei County was rioted by thieves last year and this year, and now there are still poisons raging in the county, it is really not for sale. The price is higher, so today Zi is very generous, and I have made a 50% discount on the basis of the normal price. It only needs 8 million yuan. Second, because Xun Zhen is famous, and he is in danger, the steward of the West Garden is based on "a person with a clear name." The halving" rule gave him a halving discount, so he only needed to pay four million dollars.

From 16 million to 8 million, and then from 8 million to 4 million, Xun Zhen is taking a big advantage.

However, he does not intend to pay the money, at least not before taking office.

The Xun family in Yingchuan was not a rich and noble family. The Xunzhen family was originally a middle family. Although he was very rich now, the money was privately deducted from the capture of the Yellow Turbans, but he could not take it out. If you take it out, it may cause a lot of controversy, and maybe someone will criticize him: "It took less than two years for Lieutenant Zhao to become so rich, and he is a master of greed", so the four million dollars must not be happy. paid in.

It’s okay not to pay. Today Zi is a reasonable person. If you don’t have money, you can owe it first, make an IOU, and double the payment when you take office.

Xun Zhen made up her mind: "Double the payment after taking office", double the double, it depends on the situation and how to pay, it is best to pay in installments, once a year, this can be justified, but before taking office But it can't be paid.

Liu Heng also received a new appointment.

He transferred to a certain county outside the state to be the prefect. He asked for this county on his own initiative. According to the regulations, he should pay 20 million yuan. Only from this amount of money, it can be seen that the place where he will be the prefect must be. An American county.

The two have been colleagues for a year and a half, and they have cooperated very well. When they parted, they had to drink together. When Xun Zhen first came to Zhao County, the King of Zhao promised to give him a good banquet.

Needless to say, before leaving office, Xun Zhen had to do two things.

One is the military affairs. He currently has five thousand men and horses under his tent, and three thousand cavalry and cavalry belong to him. The remaining two thousand are either the original soldiers of Zhao County, or those he later called in Zhao County. Strictly speaking, these two thousand people were county soldiers, and they had to be arranged.

Xun Zhen let the 2,000 people choose for themselves. Those who were willing to go to Wei County with him would go with him, and those who were unwilling would stay in Zhao County.

Wei County borders Zhao County, and forty li to the south from Handan is the territory of Wei County. It may be because of this reason, coupled with Xun Zhen's love of soldiers as a son, that he has won the respect and love of these 2,000 people, so he is willing to go to Wei County with him. There were five or six hundred people, accounting for a quarter of the 2,000 people. The remaining 1,500 people stayed in Zhao County and left them to the successor Zhao Lieutenant to serve as county soldiers.

Another thing is personnel.

Before Xun Zhen left, two people needed to be arranged, one was Xi Zhicai and the other was Handan Rong.

Xi Zhicai is now the lieutenant. The relationship between the lieutenant and the lieutenant is like the relationship between the governor and the prefect. The two are superiors and subordinates. Mingqing was not the lieutenant's private official. He was different from the lieutenant Gong Cao and the lieutenant's chief clerk. Xun Zhen was leaving now, and Xi Zhi was leaving or staying. This was a question.

Since Xi Zhicai followed Xun Zhen out of Yingchuan last year, he has gone through several states in the past two years, and has seen and heard more and more, and he has already felt that the Han Dynasty will be decadent. The scourge of the Party's straitjacket had a far-reaching impact on the scholars. On the one hand, the scholars suffered a serious blow. On the other hand, it caused many scholars to begin to have second thoughts about the Han Dynasty, such as Yan who persuaded Huangfu Song to rebel last year. loyal. Xi Zhicai now has little loyalty to the Han Dynasty. He sees the future in troubled times, and now he wants to assist Xun Zhen in accomplishing great things in troubled times.

If Xun Zhen were to go to another state to become an official, he would definitely resign and follow him, but Xun Zhen is going to be the prefect of Wei County, which is not far from Zhao County. The county is adjacent to Wei county. If he stays, the two can watch and help each other. Xi Zhicai agreed with Xun Zhen's point of view and decided to stay.

Xi Zhicai stayed, and Handan Rong also stayed.

In the past year or so, Handan Ronggan has been Xunzhen's eagle dog. He has just built the courage to do it, and has made great contributions to Xunzhen. Xunzhen can't give him nothing in return. Last year, he asked Liu Heng to make him Xiaolian in Zhao County. A county with a population of less than 200,000 has a filial piety every two years. Zhao County did not have a filial piety in two years. Last year, Liu Heng agreed, and in the second half of last year, he was named Xiaolian.

As soon as he is filial piety, he has the opportunity to jump over the dragon gate and become a "minister of life". Handan Rong's father used his previous relationship and is doing activities for him. Given the opportunity, of course he couldn't give up, so he planned to wait and see if he could finally get the imperial edict to expel him.

Apart from Xi Zhicai and Handan Rong, the others, such as Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, Cheng Jia, Cen Rong, Chen Wu, Fan A, etc. all decided to go to Wei County with Xunzhen.

Liu Bei saw that Handan Rong was named Xiaolian, and had the opportunity to become Ming Qing, and he was very envious, but he also knew that, with his "cold scholar" background, even if he had been Xun Zhen's meritorious officer, if he went back to Zhuo County, he would not be able to. It is definitely difficult to get the recommendation of the governor of Zhuo County.

"Only by continuing to follow the lieutenant, will one day be able to stand out like the Duke of Handan one day." The twenty-four-year-old thought to himself, so he finally pressed his mind and decided to continue to follow Xun Zhen. ——At least, by following Xun Zhen's side, he can taste the taste of power, get the respect of the county people, and at the same time, he can use his talents.

He followed Xun Zhen, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yongzi also followed Xun Zhen.

Zhao Yun also decided to follow Xun Zhen.

Zhao Yun is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. Although Xun Zhen failed to recover Zhen Ding for him, and Zhang Feiyan surrendered to the Han Dynasty, Zhen Ding is not a den of thieves, but Xun Zhen's affection for him must be repaid, not far. Said, only to say that when he politely asked Xun Zhen to send troops, Xun Zhen agreed without hesitation to say that Wang Fen would be invited to fight at the meeting, and he did so, Zhao Yun must repay this kindness.

In addition, Fan A followed Xun Zhen.

Han respects Confucianism. Compared with Confucianism, medicine is a "small way" and "fang skills" other than the six arts. Scholars are ashamed of practicing medicine. He followed his father to practice medicine in Chang'an, and went into and out of the noble family's house. The elders loved him dearly, and they said together: "With the talent of the emperor, why not study it as an official?" Another example is Fan A's teacher Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo was originally a scholar, but he later studied medicine. He often regretted it.

Xun Zhen did not underestimate Fan A for his practice of medicine, and objected to him being more respectful, which made Fan A feel deeply. Although Fan A was a doctor and regarded himself as a scholar, since he had received Xun Zhen's love and importance, of course he wanted to repay him. Decided not to hang the pots in the prefectures, and instead took the disciples to stay in Xun Zhen's army.

The military affairs and personnel affairs were completed. At the beginning of February, when the new Lieutenant Zhao arrived, Xun Zhen took over the handover with him. He rode from nearly 4,000 paces with his troupe Quyi, along with his family and Xun You, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, Cen Yan and Cheng. Jia, Fan A and others resigned from the county.

Liu Heng had to wait for the new prime minister to arrive~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and could not leave for the time being. He and Xi Zhicai, Handan Rong, and the county officials sent Xunzhen out of the city.

When the people of the county and township heard this, they rushed to see Xun Zhen off.

At the gate of the city, the elders offered wine, bowed down and said, "If there were no lieutenant, Zhao Jun would have been killed by thieves long ago."

In the midst of reluctance to part, Xun Zhen set off in a car, heading south to Wei County.

...

Leaving Handan, walking on the road, the February spring is cold.

Compared with Zhao County, Wei County is a large county, with 15 counties under its jurisdiction. Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was densely populated and the area was prosperous. It was not too far from Luoyang, and Luoyang was seven hundred miles southwest. In fact, if it wasn't for the rebellion, it would never have been Xun Zhen's turn to be the prefect of this county.

Now that I have to be the prefect of a large county, and since then I have the military and civilian power of a county, it should be a joy, but Xun Zhen feels a lot of pressure.

During these days, he sent people to sneak into Wei County to observe the current situation of Wei County.

The situation is dire.

Yu Du's work has grown to more than 10,000, and it occupies half of the counties and townships.

Zhao Zhongquan, the permanent attendant of the middle school, was in charge of the government and the opposition, and his family had a great influence in Wei County. Up to the county government, down to the counties, most of them were dependent on his family, and this was the second.

Under heavy pressure and facing new challenges, Xun Zhen left Handan County in the morning, traveled 20 miles a day, and stayed at a wild pavilion 20 miles away from Weijie that night.

According to the custom, when Erqianshi took office, the officials of the county and county were to greet him at the county boundary. In order not to make the officials of the county and county wait for a long time, the next morning, before dawn, Xun Zhen drove by car and arrived in the evening. Weijie.

When they arrived at the realm, Liu Bei and Gao Su, who were leading the way, looked at each other in dismay.

The cold twilight wind swept through, and the withered trees rustled in the wild. Looking into the distance, there was not even a person in the county, but there was no one to greet him. (To be continued)
