Chapter 67 The Chief of Bohai

Jizhou is one of the nine provinces divided after Dayu controlled the flood.

The nine provinces recorded in "Shangshu. Yu Gong" are: Ji, Yu, Yong, Yang, Yan, Xu, Liang, Qing, and Jing.

Jizhou is the first of the Jiuzhou and has a very vast territory. It has a total of ninety-nine counties under its jurisdiction, including Wei County, Qinghe Country, Anping County, Julu County, Zhao Country, Changshan Country, Zhongshan Country, Hejian Country, and Bohai County.

Ji is a big one. "Zhou Li. Zhifang" records: "Hanoi is called Jizhou". Henei refers to a larger area east and north of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. It is surrounded by rivers on three sides, the Yellow River on the west, the Yong River on the east, the Yu River on the north, and the Hengshan Mountain on the north, and the river on the east, south, and the adjacent states on the east, south, and the river on the east, south, is bounded by neighboring states.

Yecheng is the capital of Jizhou. It is 24 miles away. The city walls are tall and the city is deep. There are more than 30,000 households and 200,000 residents. It is the largest city north of the Yellow River.

Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, was named Wenjie and a native of Yingchuan County. Like Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and others, he was a well-educated scholar and was once the Chief Censor of the Censor.

After Dong Zhuo was tyrannical, he relied on the Minister of Shang Dynasty Zhou Li and the city gate captain Wu Qiong. Zhou Li and Wu Qiong had a good relationship with Wu Qiong and Han Fu, so he recommended Han Fu as the governor of Jizhou to Dong Zhuo.

Jizhou has a large population and abundant resources. After Han Fu took office, he worked as an official and honestly. For a time, Jizhou was in good weather and harvested food year after year, making it the most stable place in the entire Han Dynasty territory.

On this day, Han Fu summoned his officials to discuss matters in the conference hall.

Han Fu sat upright on his head. He had a medium figure, fair skin, calm eyes, and a harmonious look.

Sitting on the left were the generals of Jizhou: Qu Yi, Zhao Fu, Cheng Huan, Pan Feng, Zhang He, all of whom were backs and bears, and their faces were full of heroic spirit.

Sitting on the right was the civil servants of Jizhou: Geng Wu, the chief secretary, Min Chun, Li Li, Shen Pei, Xin Ping, Ju Su, and Xun Chen, all of whom are strategic and literary talents.

Han Fu looked at the gathering of civil and military officials and was proud of himself and said to everyone: "This year, Jizhou is in good weather and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so we still rely more on you. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, we should do our best to restrain ourselves and serve the public and share the worries of the new emperor."

Chief Geng Wu said, "Mr. Zhou Mu, since ancient times, Jizhou has been simple in the people, fertile land and a large population, making it the largest state in the world. The land is connected to Youzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Bingzhou, and is a strategic place. I wonder if Master Zhou Mu has any ideas based on this place?"

Han Fu was stunned. He was a Confucian scholar, a ruler, minister, minister, father, son and son, and the three principles and five constants of the Confucian scholars, and the three principles and five principles of the father, father, son and son, firmly occupied his thoughts. Although he also saw that the Han Dynasty was weak and Dong Zhuo was cruel, he had never had any other intentions. Therefore, although he was in the important position of a local overlord like Jizhou Mu, he had more than 100,000 elite soldiers and hundreds of generals, and he had piled up mountains of food and grass, but he was just conservative in protecting his family and business.

Geng Wu saw Han Fu's reaction and knew that he had no intention of being independent, so he had eyes with Ju Su, Xun Chen and others and stopped talking.

Xun Chen's name is Youruo, the younger brother of Xun Yu, the son of Xun Fu, and from Yingchuan. Seeing this, he stepped forward to Han Fu and said, "Mr. Han, Yuan Shao is now named the prefect of Bohai. Bohai County is connected to Youzhou in the north and has an outlet for the sea. His geographical location is very important. Yuan Shao has a prominent family background, a respectful and noble person, and has a reputation. I wonder what Lord Han thinks of this matter?"

Han Fu was a little confused and asked, "When Yuan Shao was in the capital, he was familiar with me. Now he is the prefect of Bohai. In my Jizhou, it is the time to work together and work together. Why, what's wrong with him?"

Xun Chen thought to himself: This Lord Mu of the State was so confused. After a pause, he said to Han Fu: "Where can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed? Yuan Shao is now the prefect of Bohai. With his own territory, with the strong appeal of their family, he can quickly gather talents and gather teams. He was originally not in harmony with Dong Zhuo, so he would definitely look for opportunities to meet Dong Zhuo. At that time, the fire in the city gate would cause trouble, and we would also be implicated."

"Oh..." Han Fu suddenly realized, patted his forehead and said, "Youruo, you really woke up the dreamer. I have been thinking so these days, but I forgot about it while I was busy. In this way, you and Shen Pei quickly went to Nanpi, find an excuse to stay there, monitor Yuan Shao's every move, and notify me immediately if he has the intention of rebellion."

"Yes!" Xun Chen and Shen Pei looked at each other and replied loudly.

Jizhou, Bohai County, Nanpi.

Nanpi is the county seat of Bohai County and has a long history. According to legend, the name "Nanpi" originated from Duke Huan of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is the familiar Prince Xiaobai. It is said that he once led troops to attack Shanrong in the north and smelted leather for soldiers' armor in this place. Because at the same time, there was a "Nori Pi" in Zhangwu County, which was more than 100 miles north of this place. Therefore, the name "Nanpi" was also known.

To the east of Nanpi is the ancient and surging Bohai Sea, and to the west is the Xuanhui River. It is like an old man who has seen all the vicissitudes of life, lying quietly in the vast wilderness in the north, listening to the surging tides of the sea and the distant sound of oars on the river.

In the southeast of Nanpi, there were smoke rising in Xinghua Temple, and people came to worship Buddha and burn incense.

A middle-aged man with both hands up the steps in front of the temple gate, followed by two people, one with thin figure, small eyes as big as beans, the other with white face and beardless eyes, and his eyes were full of wind.

The middle-aged man saw two mighty stone diamonds on both sides of the temple gate. Each one was carved from a piece of bluestone, with a height of about four feet. These two stone diamonds stood facing each other, wearing armor, and glared at them. The east had his hands folded and his chest held copper; the west had both hands, and the copper tip touched the ground.

The middle-aged man stroked Shi Jingang with his hands and couldn't help but praise: "Ziyuan, Kong Zhang, come and take a look! These two stone carvings are exquisitely carved and majestic in shape, and they are really lifelike."

The person who is called Ziyuan is Xu You, the person who is called Kong Zhang is Chen Lin, and the middle-aged man is naturally Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu.

After Yuan Shao sneaked out of Luoyang, he wanted to join his old friend in Jizhou, but after receiving an appointment from the court halfway, he immediately rushed to Bohai to take office.

Xu You played with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao since childhood and had a close relationship. After Yuan Shao left Luoyang, Xu You followed him to Nanpi and became Yuan Shao's counselor.

Chen Lin's good article was originally the chief clerk of the general He Jin. After He Jin's death, Dong Zhuo ravaged Luoyang. Chen Lin took refuge in Nanpi and entered Yuan Shao's pavilion. Yuan Shao envoyed his articles and Chinese documents, and often used his actions.

When Xu You saw these two stone diamonds, his eyes lit up and touched them with his hands. He felt cool and the tentacles were very smooth. He murmured: "This is a treasure. Benchu, drag them to the prefect's mansion and guard the house. It is very auspicious."

Yuan Shao smiled and shook his head and said, "Ziyuan, this is a Buddhist thing, how can you move around?"

Chen Lin continued Yuan Shao's words and asked, "Original words are very correct. But do you know the origin of these two stone diamonds?"

Seeing that Yuan Shao and Xu You both shook their heads, Chen Lin was a little proud and said, "Listen to me. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were two stone diamonds and one Iron Bodhisattva in the water. They came from nowhere and went downstream. The stone diamonds shouted "Nanpi! Nanpi", and the iron Bodhisattva shouted "Dongguang, Dongguang". The stone diamonds came to the Nanpi territory, and the iron Bodhisattva came to the Dongguang territory, and it was indeed disappeared."

"I don't know how many years have passed, Xinghua Temple is built here. When I was taking soil from the pit in front of the temple, two stone carvings were dug out. Everyone wanted to put them outside the mountain gate to use to conquer the temple, but they could not move them. At this time, a young monk wearing straw sandals and tied a hemp rope on his waist came, chanting "Sincerity will make you feel good. Heaven and earth are moved, and there is no gold or silver, just two steamers of buns." People felt strange, and the young monk said again, "Amitabha, the Buddha is merciful and has endless magic power. When I finish eating two cages of buns, I will carry them on my back!" Everyone was half-believing and half-doubted, and brought two cages of buns. After eating, the young monk untied the hemp rope on his waist, put them on the stone diamonds, carried them on both sides of the mountain gate. Everyone was shocked, but the young monk disappeared."

After Chen Lin finished speaking, Yuan Shao had already applauded and said, "What a wonderful story. Ziyuan, I will give you two cages of buns, and you can use your divine power to move this stone diamond away."

"Do you want to send me two cages of buns?" Xu You murmured to himself, and walked into the temple gate with his face.

Chen Lin smiled and said to Yuan Shao, "Ziyuan is full of wisdom and may come up with a clever way."

After Yuan Shao, Xu You and Chen Lin visited Xinghua Temple, they walked towards the hill behind the temple.

When I reached the top of the mountain, I could see thousands of hectares of fertile fields and the rice waves were rumbling. The farmers were busy harvesting food. There was a large maple forest at the foot of the mountain. At this moment, the maple said leisurely.

"Who is the person Ziyuan is talking about?" Chen Lin asked curiously.

"Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin!" Xu You gritted his teeth, and the shining sword of Pure Jun that Zhou Yu was wearing with him appeared in front of him.

Yuan Shao asked in confusion: "So you are talking about Gongjin, and I am very familiar with him. However, he is now in Juchao and his Juchao grows, and he is not in Luoyang. Is there any way to bring people out?"

"You don't know anything about it. I am very interested in what Zhou Yu did. I once secretly investigated him. As a result, I found that the Jingwumen Martial Arts Hall in Luoyang City, which had a hot business, was actually his secret stronghold!"

"Secret stronghold?" Yuan Shao repeated.

Xu You nodded, his eyes shining, and said, "This martial arts museum is protected by teaching martial arts students. The staff in the museum are responsible for the important tasks of inquiring about information, conveying information, and luring and colluding to instigate generals in the army! Moreover, after Zhou Yu left Luoyang, the martial arts museum did not close and was still running."

Yuan Shao couldn't help but take a breath and said, "Gongjin has reminded me that the situation in Luoyang is dangerous and wants me to leave Luoyang. I didn't expect that Gongjin would have such a powerful backup plan, and I was not as good as him."

Chen Lin also exclaimed from the side: "Who is this Zhou Yu? He is doing things so flawlessly?"

Xu You glanced at Chen Lin with dissatisfaction and said, "It's not surprising that this is a matter of spying on the intelligence of the martial arts hall as a cover. Benchu, I mean you can write a book and ask Zhou Yu to order the people in the Luoyang martial arts hall to try every means to secretly send Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei out of the capital. They are all in the capital. What do you think?"

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "You can try this method. I will write it when we return home."

Chen Lin hurriedly said, "Let's go. It's better to send someone to explain it in person for such a major matter. I'd like to stay in the nest."

Yuan Shao said: "Kong Zhang, then... thank you for your hard work, you must pay attention to safety on the way."
