Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 395 Youzhou makes a move, confusing!
"what!?"

After hearing the news, Yang Jie couldn't control his emotions for a moment. He stood up from his seat in surprise, and Yang Song's eyes suddenly widened.

Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and wrinkled his eyebrows, thoughtfully.

Such news was too unexpected for the people in the room, especially when they thought of the hidden meaning behind it, it was even more difficult to calm down.

"Wang Jun actually did something like this!"

After being surprised, Yang Jie took a deep breath, regained his composure, and sat down again. His face turned gloomy. He glanced at Chen Zhi, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect it to be like this! This will cause a lot of trouble."

Then, he asked his subordinate officer to come over and inquire again to understand the general situation.

It turned out that just an hour ago, the courier from Youzhou galloped over. After landing, he quickly went through the process and submitted Wang Jun's letter, marking it with a military label.

Northern Xinjiang was inherently uneven, and Youzhou was also the focus of the imperial court. No one dared to ignore it, so the letter was quickly placed in the imperial study. However, after the minister on duty opened it, he found that the contents inside were The military situation has little to do with it, but a proposal from Wang Jun.

Wang Jun didn't know how he got to know the court's plan, so he issued a proposal to transfer the governor of Dai County to Guangning County to serve in Guangning County, so that Dai County would be vacated and handed over to Chen Zhi, who would serve as his deputy. County governor.

As a result, Chen Zhi's original plan was turned upside down. From the prefect of Guangning, he suddenly became the prefect of Daijun.

It's just that the issues involved are not just a simple exchange of political places.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Zhi said: "I was negligent. I was only thinking about Zhang Ying's purpose, and I forgot that what was really damaged by this matter was actually the interests of that great general." What is the intention, in fact, he is not sure yet, it seems to be pushing himself into the fire pit, but...

"Sending people here with such a big fanfare, and making such a move, is to move me closer to the Xiongnu? I always feel that it is a bit of a fuss. How much is involved in one county? It is the barrier of Youzhou. If you harm people, isn't it because you lose a lot because of a small thing?"

Zhang Ying used Chen Zhi to establish his power, although it was because Chen Zhi had previous disagreements with the Zhang family, but he did not directly retaliate against Chen Zhi, because if others looked at him that way, it would mean he was low-profile, and he would be suspected of making a fuss out of a molehill.

What Zhang Ying really planned was the position of Shangshu Ling, and Chen Zhi was finally used to establish his power and shake up the mountain.

But what Wang Jun is doing now is completely different. The sheriff of a county involves the interests of all parties, and the original prefect of the Dai county must also have his own interests. It is abnormal to move so easily.

On the other side, Yang Jie glanced at the subordinate officers and Dong Xu and said, "You guys come here and report in time. It's really hard work. Find a side room to rest for a while. I'll have people prepare drinks and fruits."

Dong Xu and Dong Xu also looked at each other, knowing that the father-in-law and son-in-law had something to say in detail, so they would inevitably be embarrassed if they stayed and listened to something they shouldn't have heard. However, if Da Sinong wanted to ask more questions and learn more about it, they had to follow suit. He was called upon to arrive, so after saluting, he retreated and followed the Yang family's servants to find a room to stay temporarily.

Snapped!
Suddenly, Yang Jie clapped his hand hard on the table and said in a low tone: "Wang Jun is too arrogant! He dares to pretend to be a military intelligence suggestion and publicize it in a big way. There must be someone behind it, otherwise there will be nothing between you and my yamen." It is impossible to know so quickly, it is simply unreasonable! The imperial court's dispatch of county guards is a matter for the officials and a decision of the central government. He dares to comment on the border guards and even dares to interfere!" Yang Jie's words were full of emotions. Deep dissatisfaction and anger.

But he also knew that with Wang Jun's status and influence, and the court's reliance on him, this so-called suggestion was actually an ultimatum, especially when the court wanted to beat and suppress him.

In fact, the hearts of all the princes in the court were tense, so when there was a slight movement from Wang Jun, Yang Jie immediately thought of the worst.

The imperial court appointed two eunuchs to replace the person chosen by Wang Jun. It was expected that Wang Jun would respond. Now his letter is probably just a prelude.

Wang Jun did not refuse the imperial court's assignment, but only made slight changes, which was regarded as a compromise. In this case, the imperial court should not go too far.

Wang Jun...Zhang Ying...

Chen Zhi muttered these two names in his mind and realized that these were his own obstacles. He narrowed his eyes and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

But on the surface, he sighed and said: "The greatest possibility is that the princes will compromise with Wang Jun and finalize the proposal, because in the eyes of the court, they are all frontier places and dangerous places, and they all need to rely on the king." Jun's troops, then which county should I go to as the governor? In fact, it will not have much impact, at most it will be a rearrangement."

For the imperial court, the impact was not great, but when it came to specific people, the impact was too great.

"Zhang Yingcai recommended it for a few days. Mr. Chen and I argued with him, and Deng Taichang and Zhao Honglu came forward to mediate. We met several times before settling on it. Although there were many twists and turns, it didn't take long. In the end, Wang Jun was sidelined. General, he found out so quickly. Not only did he find out, the messenger he sent also arrived in Luoyang in time. Who leaked the news? Wang Jun's hand was stretched too long!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier Yang Jie became. It involved his own affairs and the majesty of the imperial court. He couldn't help but be angry. The information contained in it made him even more uneasy.But anger could not solve the problem. After venting for a few words, the great farmer calmed down again, looked at Chen Zhi and said: "Let these things go first, it is not what you need to worry about. The problem in front of you is Wang Jun Once this suggestion is adopted by the court, the situation you will face after arriving in Northern Xinjiang will be completely different! I will try my best to stop it, but you must also be prepared in advance. Now you are riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off, after all, your appointment It’s been confirmed, but if it’s not confirmed, we can still try to find another place, but it’s hard to leave Northern Xinjiang now.”

Yang Song nodded secretly at the side, he could also see the danger in it.

It can be said that Wang Jun's move was a bit of a slap in the face, and it easily disintegrated the court's beating move, allowing him to gain an invincible position.

Originally, according to Chen Zhi's analysis, it was inherently dangerous to go to the Northland, but the chosen place was safe, close to the center of Youzhou, and the area was not large. There were not many counties to manage, and there were not many government affairs to worry about. There won't be many, and with Daijun as a barrier to the west, it can block the pressure of the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty, allowing Chen Zhi to adapt to government affairs quite calmly.

But as soon as Wang Jun's suggestion came out, the whole situation was turned upside down. If Dai County, which was considered as a barrier, became Chen Zhi's destination, his situation would suddenly become extremely dangerous.

Yang Jie frowned, stood up from his seat, paced back and forth, and finally said: "The Huns hold grudges. The information fed back by the imperial spies said that the Huns' general, Liu Yao, the newly crowned King of Zhao, is very hostile to you. How much? I have said in public for the first time that I will capture and kill you as long as I have the chance. I didn’t want to say this to prevent you from being upset. After all, although you are close to the Xiongnu when you go north, Guangning County is not too far away. However, there are still Xianbei tribes in the middle, with Daijun as a barrier. No matter how hard the Huns are, they can't deal with it with all their strength. But it's different now. If you enter Daijun, you will be acting as a barrier for other counties, and you will have to fight with the Huns. If the country directly borders the border, the situation will be complicated!"

As he spoke, he hesitated and then said: "Nowadays, most of the land in Bingzhou has been occupied by the Huns. Only Liu Kun is still insisting, but he was also forced out of Jinyang and went north to occupy the Yanmen area. It is also on the verge of collapse. If Liu Kun and Tuoba Xianbei had not been closely related and supported by reinforcements, I am afraid that they would have been poisoned long ago. Liu Kun is still like this. If you go to Daijun without foreign aid, I am afraid that the situation will not be good. So, I will repair the book. One letter for Liu Kun. He is now in Yanmen. He is close to you and may be able to support each other..."

As he spoke, he sighed, looked at Chen Zhi, whose expression changed slightly, and said with a sigh: "The outside world doesn't know this news yet. It is said that Liu Kun is still defending Jinyang and confronting the Huns. In fact, the imperial court is unwilling to do so." The news spread to prevent scholars from talking about it and arousing public anger. In fact, Liu Kun left Jinyang two or three months ago, and it is not known whether Jinyang has fallen."

It turned out that Liu Kun was originally the prefect of Jinyang. Since the armistice between Xinhan and the Xiongnu, he was the only one in Bingzhou who was still stubbornly resisting. After most of Bingzhou was occupied by the Huns, Liu Kun still stood firm. persist in.

But more than two months ago, he was plotted by the Huns. He led an attack to rescue a group of troops, but was cut off. He relied on his relationship with Tuoba Xianbei to break out of the encirclement, and settled in Yanmen to resist the Huns, but he also He has lost contact with the city of Jinyang. His old troops have been stationed in Jinyang for several months, and recently there have been frequent reports of the city being breached.

Yanmen County is located in the northernmost part of Bingzhou, facing Dai County on the left and right. It is said that in the pre-Qin period, King Wuling of Zhao set it [note] to resist the northern nomads. Today, the two or three counties between the two have been It was occupied by the Huns, so the traffic was interrupted, and they could only barely contact.

Yang Jie saw Wang Jun's move and knew that the general was less likely to cooperate with Chen Zhi, so he paid more attention to Liu Kun who was in Yanmen and wanted to lure him to Chen Zhi's reinforcements.

But judging from the current situation, Liu Kun's situation is also not good.

Chen Zhi nodded silently and made calculations. He savored the entire Youzhou, together with the map of the Northland, in his mind, and knew that there was indeed something wrong with the location of Daijun.

However, if Wang Jun's move was just to harm Chen Zhi, he would be too aggressive. It would also involve too many people, making Chen Zhi feel that there were other plans behind it.

"Transferring me to Daijun seems to be part of a certain plan. In this way, I will be in danger, but at the same time, Daijun is also very important to Youzhou. It can't be for me alone, Wang Jun Just put your own foundation in danger? Could it be that he wants to explain and subdue me, after all, in this situation, if I want to gain a firm foothold, if I think about it normally, I have to bow to him!"

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Chen Zhi's heart, and he vaguely grasped a key.

Over there, Yang Song also looked solemn when he heard this. Although he was young, he knew that this matter was dangerous, but in his solemnity, there was a hint of eagerness to try.

Chen Zhi suddenly said: "Since it is difficult to change, we can only deal with it. Fortunately, there is still one month left, and we can still prepare for it. The failure of the layout also means that this person is temporarily invincible, and I will go to the north based on my plan."

"As long as you understand." Yang Jie changed the topic, "But don't worry, now that Wang Jun has made this move, the situation has changed. Even if what Zhang Ying said before can't be counted, I have to go over it. , It’s a pity that the official department has been decided and cannot be changed, otherwise it will involve too much, otherwise you will have to go to the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River to serve as the county guard. "

Chen Zhi said with a smile: "There are many big families in the land south of the Yangtze River. Since the time when the north and the south were not unified, they have been occupied by the big families. When it comes to laws, the county governor is not as good as the head of the family. Wherever he goes, he can only suffer. Besides, with Wang Jun The suggestion shows that Youzhou has accepted the move. If I don't go, it will be a sign of weakness for the imperial court. This is already a difficult situation to get out of, and there is no way to change it, but I can take the opportunity to gain some benefits."

"That's right." Yang Jie didn't understand the truth, but he didn't want Chen Zhi to get into such a dangerous situation. "Then let's see if we can shorten the term. It's just the fifty riders that I can invite from the Yang family." The limit, after all, I am not the only one who can speak at home."

Chen Zhi cupped his hands in thanks, expressing his understanding, and then said: "Actually, you don't need to say any more, it would undoubtedly be more convenient for my uncle to come forward, you can just beat the side drums."

"Let Mr. Chen come forward? Could it be..." Yang Jie's heart moved and he understood something.

Note: The location of the prefecture's Daixian County is different from that of the later generations of counties. It was probably near present-day Yuxian County, Hebei Province.
