The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 8 Chapter 4: The county officials and the people asked the Yingchuan prefect to hang his seal a

Said to go to Yangzhai, Xunzhen stopped in Yingyin halfway.

Yangzhai and Yanxian are in the south of Yingshui, and Yingyin is in the north of Yingshui. From Yanxian to Yangzhai, it could have gone northwest of the river without going through Yingyin, but Yingyin is Xunzhen's "hometown" after all. , he is bringing troops back to the county now, so he can't walk through the door without entering. Besides, Yangzhai is the county government. He is a "foreigner", so it is not easy to bring troops there directly. Invitation by Governor Chuan.

This "invitation", I am happy to go in and do it.

Xun Zhen came to Yingchuan this time, and the prefect of Yingchuan was very tangled.

Xun Zhen had led his troops through Yangzhai once before, that is, the last time Emperor Ling died, when he came back from Changsha and was worshipped as the general of Zuozhong by the court, that time, he led his troops to Beijing, and took some knights along the way. Entering the city of Yangzhai, he arrested and executed the Zhang clan of Yangzhai, and scared the prefect of Yingchuan. This time, he heard that Xunzhen brought more troops and horses to come, and he was even more afraid.

Although he was afraid, he did not dare to refuse.

Yingchuan is one of the camps set up by the Kwantung Allied Forces. As a prefect, he can't even control the military power in the county. How can he dare to fight against Yuan Shao?

Therefore, when he heard that Xun Zhen was about to arrive at the county boundary and Le Jin invited him out to welcome him, he hesitated and evaded. Seeing that he didn't want to go, Le Jin didn't say much, so he left Yangzhai and went to Yanxian with Xun You and others to welcome Xunzhen. At that time, the prefect of Yingchuan could have evaded it, but now Xunzhen has brought his troops to the county center and arrived at Yingyin, which is only a few dozen miles away from Yangzhai, but he can't push it away any longer.

Le Jin said goodbye to Xunzhen temporarily in Yingyin, and galloped back to Yangzhai with the commander.

The prefect of Yingchuan was lying high in the back house, when he heard that the door came down to report that Le Jin had come back, and he was outside asking for a meeting.

He didn't want to see it at all.

Can't see or can't.

Helpless, he had to change his clothes and come to see Le Jin.

Le Jin went straight to the point and said: "Report to Mingfu, General Jianwei's troops have arrived in Yingyin, and hearing that Dong Zhuo's army has plundered this county, General Jianwei is angry and rushed to the crown, and wants to join forces with our county to fight back. Please let Mingfu show you. ."

The prefect of Yingchuan said: "Yingyin is the hometown of General Xun, and it is also the fief of General Xun. Since General Xun has arrived in Yingyin, he asked him to temporarily stay in the county. Why don't you wait until Fang Bo arrives to discuss, what do you think?"

Xunzhen is a mighty and fierce predator, and the prefect of Yingchuan does not even want him to come, what about Yangzhai county government? The prefect of Yingchuan now only hopes that Kong Ni will arrive in Yingchuan early. No matter how many Xunzhen troops and horses are, it is only the power of one county, can it surpass Yuzhou? As long as Kong Yu arrives early, he can temporarily rest his mind.

Le Jin said: "Fang Bo is still calling troops in Chen State, and Yingyin is far away from the western border of the county. If Dong Zhuo's army comes again, looting, looting and killing, I am afraid that General Jianwei will not be able to save him."

"Isn't it true that in the past, Lun's and Yangcheng sent five hundred more commanders?"

"Dong Zhuo's subordinates are more than 100,000 people, and there are only five hundred commanders. How can they stop them?"

"Qing has expanded his army a few days ago. There are more than 3,000 soldiers in Yangzhai. If there is an emergency in the west of the county, isn't it enough to save him?"

Le Jin simply said directly: "Not enough."

"This……."

While they were talking, suddenly another county official came to report: "Ming Fu, the county sergeant and the people are outside asking to see you."

The prefect of Yingchuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said to Le Jin: "I can't see the people asking to see you. You might as well go first, and General Xun may wish to discuss the matter with the army training for retribution."

Le Jin refused to leave, but said, "Ming Fu has asked to see the people first."

The prefect of Yingchuan was unable to do so, so he had to let him stand in the hall, and ordered the county officials who came to report to summon the scholars and the people.

Not long after, dozens of people came in from outside the hospital.

The prefect of Yingchuan took a look, and when he saw the leaders, his heart skipped a beat.

The leading people were not the people of the county, but clearly Guo Jun, Du You, etc., the officials of the county government, and several other officials from the old days of the county government, such as Wang Lan and others.

Wang Lan, Guo Jun, Du You and others were all colleagues of Xun Zhen when he was a county official in Yingchuan in his early years. Wang Lan had the highest status at that time and was the county chief bookkeeper when Wen Taishou was in the middle of the county. Low, only Cao Ye, but Wang Lan has not been in the county for many years, Guo Jun and Du You are now one of the county's meritorious officers, and the other is a county official, becoming one of the few prominent officials in the county.

In addition to these few people, there were Tieguan Ling Shen Rong and others in front of the crowd.

In the early years of Xun Zhen’s rectification of the iron officials in the county, this iron official made Shen Rong supported by him. Although Xun Zhen was not in the county these years, but with Le Jin and others, and the fame of the Xun family, Shen Rong was still not. A member of the "Yingchuan Xun Party".

The prefect of Yingchuan knew that his heart was broken, and without waiting for these people to say, he guessed the intention of these people.

He forced a smile on his face and asked, "You are here, but what happened in the county?"

Guo Jun said, "It's a big deal!"

"What's the big deal?"

"A few days ago, Dong Zhuo's army swept Yangcheng, and the people of the county were uneasy, and everyone was shocked. We came here together, because we were entrusted by the elders and the villagers, and asked the Mingfu to send troops to fight back, so as to secure the boundary of the county."

The prefect of Yingchuan laughed dryly and said, "Didn't Dong Zhuo's army have already retreated?"

"Although I have left for the time being, but when I will come back, no one knows. How can the county people not be afraid and worry day and night?"

"The military of the county army, I have already given it to Le Jun. How to retaliate against Anjun, why don't you discuss with Le Jun?"

Guo Jun turned his face and asked Le Jin, who was standing aside, "Wen Qian, what do you say?"

"General Jianwei has already sent troops to the county. I'm asking the Ming government to pass on a letter, inviting General Jianwei to settle in Yangzhai to secure the county."

Guo Jun, Du You, Wang Lan, Shen Rong and the others all expressed great joy, bowed down in unison, and said to the prefect of Yingchuan: "The Marquis of Yingyin is famous all over the world, as strong as the Yellow Turban, as prosperous as the Black Mountain, they are all his defeated generals, the Yellow Turban The head of the canal, Zhang Jiao, also died under his hands. Such a prestige is enough to deter rebellion and appease the people of the county. Mingfu, it is not too late, please send a message immediately and invite General Jianwei to settle in Yangzhai!"

"This this……."

Looking at the dozens of people who were bowing down to the ground in front of him, including the high officials of the county government, the scholars in the county, and the generals and commanders of the county army, the prefect of Yingchuan sighed, and had no choice but to accept his fate and said weakly, "Okay. , I will write a letter to invite General Xun to settle in Yangzhai."

Le Jin said: "General Jianwei is far away, and there is a shortage of food and equipment. Since Mingfu wants to invite General Jianwei to help me in Yingchuan and fight against foreign rebels together, this food and equipment should not be a pity. In the next article, open the treasury and obtain food and equipment for the food of General Jianwei."

Prefect Yingchuan was stunned and said, "This..., I'm afraid it's not right?"

Le Jin asked, "What's wrong?"

"Fang Bo had told me before, asking me to store more grain and equipment for the future use of the state troops. Now that Fang Bo has not arrived, if he transfers the grain and equipment to General Xun, ... Fang Bo is angry, what should we do?"

Shen Rong raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Fang Bo is far away from Chen State, and Dong Zhuo's army is outside the county. This is far from being able to quench your thirst! Mingfu is afraid of Fang Bo's wrath, so is it not afraid that the people of the county will be terrified by fear? Is there a big mess?"

Tieguan was not a subordinate of the county government. Shen Rong was not afraid to offend the prefect of Yingchuan, but he had long been afraid of Xunzhen, so he was very rude as soon as he said it.

The prefect of Yingchuan had nothing to say, so he could only say: "Okay, okay, you should wait, you should wait."

He wrote a letter to Xun Zhen, inviting Xun Zhen to settle in Yangzhai, and sent an order to the county magistrate, ordering the opening of the treasury and the supply of food and equipment.

After getting these two documents, Le Jin and others said goodbye and left the house.

The prefect of Yingchuan sat in the hall for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved, and he slapped the table a few times, and said angrily: "Xun Yingyin forced me with soldiers, and you and other officials have forced me with their forces and gave me food and equipment. After Xun Yingyin, Fang Bo will definitely scold me when he arrives. I am in a dilemma, and there is no way to advance or retreat. This prefect of Yingchuan is no longer working!

If you don't want to do it, you won't do it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He got up and went back to the back house, and immediately ordered his servants to pack up, carrying the wealth and family members that he had earned over the years, and he hung up the Yinlifu on the same day and went home. .

I have to say that this decision of the prefect of Yingchuan was very wise.

Seeing that the chaos was about to break out, Xun Zhen and Kong Nio were stationed in horses. He had no soldiers in his hands. The officials of the county government and many scholars and people had already turned to Xun Zhen. If you continue to stay in Yangzhai, there is only one way to get angry on both sides. It is better to withdraw as soon as possible before the war officially begins, and return home with the wealth of wealth you have acquired over the years.

Wang Lan, Le Jin and others soon learned about the matter of the Yingchuan prefect with his seal and returned home, but they didn't care, and no one chased after him.

Everyone is a wise person, and they all know that if you ask Dong together, the world will be in chaos. Instead of letting someone else be the prefect of Yingchuan County, it is better to vacate the position of the prefect, and let Xun, who is both famous and the son of a famous local clan, vacate the position. Zhenlai secretly exercises real power in the county.

Xun Zhen was about to go to Yangzhai, and the food and equipment in the county government's treasury did not need to be sent to Yingyin.

Leaving Guo Jun to sit in the county seat, Wang Lan, Le Jin, Shen Rong, and Du You brought some county soldiers and went to Yingyin to welcome Xun Zhen.
