Four hundred and thirtieth chapters just around the corner
Zhao Yun's words were reasonable and thoughtful. Even though Wen Hui was full of wisdom and tricks, he couldn't help but remain silent after hearing this statement.
Yes, since Yuan Shao took over Jizhou in the past, all matters of foreign vassals were dominated by his own confidants and direct descendants. At that time, he led the affairs of one state with Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and senior officials. Until Yuan Shang ascended the throne, Yuan Tan rebelled and Yuan Shang captured Qingzhou. At first, Zhang He and Tian Feng used Zhang He to summarize the affairs of the civil and military prefectures in Qingzhou to stabilize people's livelihood.
However, after the military, political affairs and people's livelihood in Qingzhou stabilized, Yuan Shang summoned Zhang He and Tian Feng back as the famous general of the expedition. As for Qingzhou, he no longer established the general of the prefecture and governors. Instead, he fully organized all the eleven counties and states of Qingzhou, and established the prefecture and governors on it, and decided on government affairs and military affairs respectively, without infringement. He also designed the inspection position in the prefecture and governors. The inspectors have the right to manage the prefecture and governors, and can directly participate in the prefecture and governors of each department, but they cannot directly involve military affairs.
As a result, there are four restrictions on military and political affairs in a state. Although there are many cases of handling affairs and administration last week and the efficiency is reduced, it greatly strengthened Yuan Shang's control over the local area.
During the three years of cultivation and development, this strategy was extended by Yuan Shang to Bingzhou, Youzhou, Liaodong and other places. Today, Yuan Xi and the senior officials also moved from the governor of the state to the governor of the state, and Tian Yu was only a county magistrate in Liaodong.
But even Yuan Shang's relatives could not be in charge of the affairs of the state alone. Zhao Yun, who was not close to Yuan Shang, was appointed as the Grand Governor of Yongliang, and was in charge of all the power of Yongliang and the two states in Guanzhong.
On the surface, it seems to be incredible, but in Hebei, there are so many cruel and jealous eyes staring at Zhao Yun's backbone.
Therefore, from Zhao Yun's current perspective, he cannot disobey the order issued by Yuan Shang, as this will bring disaster to himself and bring embarrassment to Yuan Shang.
After hearing Zhao Yun's explanation, Wen Hui was silent, and the other ten eagle feather arrows had no objection, so the matter of sending troops was settled.
Zhao Yun immediately set out to prepare for the troops, food and grass dispatch, and military affairs in the rear.
The six counties and one country in Yongzhou were scattered in various prefectures and counties, and there were about 25,000 regular troops in Chang'an mobilized by Zhao Yun. More than 400,000 times. In Guanzhong, Qin occupied this fertile land and could support nearly one million soldiers, but now it is less than one-tenth of that time. This shows that Wen Hui's words of the withering of Guanzhong are true.
This time, Zhao Yun went on an expedition without using local troops and horses. He only prepared 50,000 regular troops from Chang'an. Zhuo Haozhao led 10,000 troops to guard Chang'an, taking Wang Xiong as his vanguard, and headed directly to the Hanzhong area of Dongchuan.
In addition, Zhao Yun also sent a letter to Yan Xing of Jincheng, and ordered him to quickly lead troops from Liangzhou to support him.
Just as Zhao Yun was about to send troops, an important person came to find Zhao Yun through Ma Yunlu's path.
This person is Cai Yan.
She still has such graceful and graceful appearance, still so mature and charming, and still so natural beauty. Cai Yan's appearance has never faded. Perhaps it is because of her well-being. She is in her thirty years old, just like her twenty people, but she has a bit more mature charm than a girl, which is fascinating and obsessed.
Zhao Yun was naturally aware of the relationship between Cai Yan and Yuan Shang, and he lost his true and nameless mistress. Zhao Yun did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly greeted him.
"Yunlu, it's so late, why did you invite everyone Cai? It's delayed their rest!" Zhao Yun looked at Ma Yunlu with a angrily face.
Ma Yunlu stuck out his tongue helplessly and said, "I can't help it. Sister Zhaoji insisted on coming. She said she had something important to see you, but I couldn't stop her."
Zhao Yun turned his head and looked at Cai Yan, wonderingly: "Everyone Cai is here late at night, don't know what's important?"
Cai Yan has been in Chang'an for so long, and has to take care of Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu. She is very familiar with each other. She doesn't beat around the bush when she meets her, and she opens her mouth quietly and asks.
"I heard that the Grand Governor received the Hebei general order and was willing to send troops to Hanzhong?"
Zhao Yun looked quite happy, and it was obvious that he was very angry when he was able to send troops to fight.
"Yes, the lord's army orders are like a mountain, and he ordered Yun to take Yongliang's troops south to Hanzhong to attack Shu, but Yun could not fail to obey it."
Cai Yan's peerless face showed a hint of sorrow and said, "Grandmaster, Guanzhong has suffered years of war and the people are suffering. Recently, under the governance of the Governor, he has just breathed and the people's livelihood has recovered. Is it a fear that something is wrong when the troops are being moved at this time?"
Zhao Yun pursed his lips: "You all know what everyone said, but the lord's military orders are like a mountain, and the clouds cannot fail to obey them."
Cai Yan shook his head and said, "The Grand Commander's words are pedantic. As the saying goes, 'The general is not subject to the orders of the king outside the country.' The people's livelihood in Guanzhong has not yet fully recovered. It is too heavy to easily mobilize troops to bear the burden. Moreover, the road to Shu is difficult and it is difficult to attack. Yuan Xianfu is far away in Jizhou and does not know the situation in Guanzhong. Why don't the Grand Commander write to him and ask him to take back the general?"
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "This...is not possible. Yun has already sent a letter to Yan Xing in Jincheng to send troops to travel with me. Moreover, all the troops and horses are fully equipped and everything is ready. The generals have already been released. It will be impossible to fight."
A trace of worry appeared on Cai Yan's face, and he was silent for a long time before saying, "If you have to send troops, why didn't the Grand Governor bring Hao Zhao with you? He insisted on summoning Yan Xing from Jincheng, which was far away?"
Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this, and thought about it, and smiled and said, "Hao Zhao is the number one person of the ten eagle feather arrows under Yun's command! He is the best at defending and can be called the world's number one defending general. It is the important city in Chang'an. It is my fault. I don't let him defend, so I'm worried."
After a pause, Zhao Yun said again: "As for Yan Xing, everyone Cai has said just now, the roads in Hanzhong are difficult and difficult to conquer. Although our Yongzhou is a powerful general, he is still a little lonely. Yan Xing trains soldiers in Jincheng, Liangzhou, and his military power is quite strong. With his help, the attack on Shu can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Zhao Yun did not tell the truth to Cai Yan when summoning Yan Xing to attack Hanzhong together. To be honest, he did not think about asking Yan Xing to help, but was afraid that there would be something wrong with him in the rear of the expedition, so he called him to send troops together, but in fact he was watching him.
Cai Yan frowned, thought for a while, and sighed.
"Governor Zhao, to be honest, Cai Yan always feels something wrong with your dispatch of troops this time... But I can't say where the inappropriate thing is."
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Cai, everyone is worried. Although I, Zhao Yun, are not a military strategist or a military immortal, since I became an official, I have followed my lord to fight in the east and west, and have been traversing the north and south. Not to mention that there is no defeat, but I also have few losses and more victory. People like Zhang Lu should have nothing to worry about."
Ma Yunlu also said: "Sister, that is, my husband has fought for so many years and has not said the famous princes in the world, can't he destroy a mere intercourse Zhang Lu? Sister, don't worry."
Cai Yan: “…………”
Liangzhou, Jincheng.
Jincheng was originally the former site of Han Sui. It has been passed down by Han Sui for many years. Although it is located in the border area, it is very rich. Among the 11 counties in Xiliang, it is still among the top.
After Han Sui was betrayed by Yan Xing, he died and the territory of Jincheng was completely lost. Now Yan Xing has received the imperial edict from Yuan Shang to go to Liangzhou to gather troops and rectify the Qiang tribe. He relied on his former kindness and power to follow Han Sui to settle down in Jincheng.
Yan Xing was a general of Xiong Jue. His martial arts skills were the best in the world and his reputation as brave as Ma Chao. When the princes of various tribes in Liangzhou heard that he was stationed in Jincheng, they were all scared and lived in peace and did not dare to make rash things easily. However, for many years, residents of the Qiang tribes who had been fighting openly and secretly with Han court officials became much more honest after learning that Yan Xing had returned to Jincheng.
In the former Liangzhou area, the two most powerful warlords were Ma Teng and Han Sui. The Han generals most respected by the Qiang tribes were Ma Chao and Yan Xing. Now, Ma Teng and Ma Chao and his son were defeated and surrendered to Yuan Shang. In Hebei, Han Sui was defeated and died. Only Yan Xing stood in Jincheng with his own power. For a time, he was deeply respected by all tribes, which was much better than the effect of Yuan Shang sending Pang De and Ma Dai to Xiliang to appease the Qiang tribe.
Just when Yan Xing was having a good time, Zhao Yun's order of troops was sent from Chang'an.
When Yan Xing saw the order to mobilize troops, his old face immediately pulled down.
Zhao Yun sent him to Jincheng and left Xiliang to attack Hanzhong with him. On the surface, there seemed nothing, but Yan Xing knew very well that this was just a strategy to restrain him because he was afraid that he would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Zhao Yun is looking at him.
When Yan Xing thought of this, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
The person who introduced himself to Yuan Jun was Zhao Yun. According to principles, the relationship between the two should be good, and Yan Xing has always been with him carefully with the goal of being able to have a good relationship with Zhao Yun.
However, since he knew that he had left Ma Teng secretly and planned to plot against the former master Han Sui, Zhao Yun's attitude towards Yan Xing changed, perhaps because he looked down on his character, or because Yan Xing was too cunning, which made Zhao Yun deeply afraid of him.
The relationship between the two has become worse and worse.
Now Zhao Yun has been named the Grand Governor of Yongliang, and has restrained all matters of Yongliang. Although Yuan Shang asked Yan Xing to come to Liangzhou to supervise the troops, he was just a state governor and was appointed as the prefect of Jincheng. Liangzhou not only had a state governor and decentralized power with him, but also Liangzhou inspectors were supervising and restricting their own power. It was impossible to compare with Zhao Yun, the Grand Governor of Yongliang, who was enough to call him.
Whenever I think of this, Yan Xing feels a little unbalanced.
Yuan Shang fought with Cao Cāo to defend Ma Teng, and he made great contributions. After Yuan Shang left, he served as Zhao Yun's deputy to train soldiers and worked diligently. Later, when he came to Jincheng, he shocked all the princes in the frontier, not only did he shock the Qiang tribes, who were not completely able to appease him, but even the Qiang tribes that Pang De and Ma Dai were not able to appease him were obeyed by him!
How about such a contribution than Zhao Yun, who is pampered in Chang'an? It's no worse than him!
Why can he be the Grand Governor of Yongliang, but I can only be a mere Liangzhou military commander?
People suffer from dissatisfaction.
As time goes by and the stability of the current situation, the innate restlessness in Yan Xing's heart began to slowly grow and sprout.
Of course, if it was just his own internal cause, there would be no big trouble. At most, it would be slandering Zhao Yun in his stomach and not being dissatisfied with Yuan Shang.
The bad thing is that many people in the world are staring at Yan Xing at this moment.
Those who are staring at Yan Xing are in trouble.
