Shao Xun's pace in Luoyang was very tight.

May 11th at Wang Yan’s house.

On May 12, I came to Yu's house - uh, to visit Yu Liang.

"Over the past few years, among all the counties in Hebei, only Ji County has never fallen. No matter which group of bandits attacks, Lord Yu can defend the city, and the 3,000 elite soldiers under his command have been trained." The conversation was originally scheduled to take place in the main hall, but Guanqiu family changed it to the back garden. Shao Xun naturally had no objection and was talking about the situation in Hebei at this moment.

Opposite him sat Yu Min.

Yu Liang stood at one side, making tea for the elders and the lord.

"The leaders of the rebellion in Hebei have been replaced by the two Shis. Liu Yuanhai seemed to have assigned some tasks to the two of them. In February, they attacked Changshan, but were forced to retreat by Wang Jun. Shi Chao conquered Ji, Wei and other counties, but also returned without success. The two of them, one in the south and one in the north, vied with each other to capture cities and territories. The Taifu was very worried and once sent troops across the river to the north to force Shi Chao to retreat." Yu Min sighed.

A little distance away from the two of them, a pair of embroidered shoes suddenly appeared, stopped behind a big tree, and listened attentively.

Once upon a time, she was a warm and innocent little girl, with big black eyes that sparkled with enthusiasm, innocence and curiosity.

Six years later, the twelve-year-old has changed dramatically.

The eyes that once looked like crescent moons when smiling now have a bit more girlish brightness, the eyelashes are slightly curled, and there is still a hint of passion like a wild deer in the eyes.

Her lips became increasingly red, and were now slightly pursed, sometimes opening in surprise, and then gently covering them.

The light and tight waist is a little thin, but the curves are already revealed.

An embroidered shoe rubbed against the ground unconsciously, as if complaining about why Yu Min kept talking nonstop.

In the past two years, a name that family members and relatives often mention is "Shao Xun".

When he said this, he looked at her intentionally or unintentionally.

The girl doesn't know nothing.

In fact, in an era when girls could get married at the age of thirteen, mothers would often teach their daughters how to be a wife when they were eleven or twelve years old. This was part of the education of girls in aristocratic families.

She knows everything.

After hearing the name "Shao Xun" many times, the memories of my childhood slowly emerged in my mind and continued to deepen, almost becoming a symbol.

In fact, she had no idea what she was thinking in her heart. Perhaps she just passively accepted the fate arranged by her family. She was powerless to object, and had no reason to object.

Or maybe she wasn't so reluctant, because she had seen how powerful he was when she was a child, which once made her believe that a man who could protect his family was the most useful.

The deep impression left at that time made her aesthetic taste slightly different from that of ordinary ladies.

Maybe there is a slight sense of satisfaction.

A brave general, a young county marquis, the much-anticipated savior of Luoyang, both the Yu family of Yanling and the Chen family of Xuchang were interested in marrying off their daughters, but it didn't matter who it was. But according to his elder brother, he "named" himself...

While I was daydreaming, the person on the other side had already finished discussing a topic.

Yu Liang also prepared the tea and poured it into the tea bowls in front of the two people.

"Marquis Luyang has not married yet, right?" Yu Min suddenly asked after taking a sip of tea.

The embroidered shoes that were rubbing against the ground unconsciously suddenly lost their rhythm and became clumsy and flustered.

The girl subconsciously stood up straight and became more dignified.

My face felt slightly hot, my throat felt swollen, and my heartbeat started to speed up.

"No." Shao Xun replied.

Yu Min smiled and said, "Liang County and Yingchuan are close to each other, so we need to help each other."

"Mr. Yu is right. I have the same idea." Shao Xun also replied with a smile.

Yu Min stopped talking. Some things should be stopped at the right time. Shao Xun naturally knew what to do. Yu still had some dignity, so he would never bring up such a thing.

From the perspective of practical interests, the Yu family needs foreign aid with strong military force.

Some people may have disagreed with this in the past, but after the Wang Mi Rebellion, fewer and fewer people hold this view.

No one is a fool. When their lives, property and ancestral tombs are threatened, people are always realistic.

It is true that Shao Xun came from a poor family, but he was a good fighter.

Moreover, he is now the Marquis of Luyang County, a General of Caiguan, and has a large number of troops under his command. He has a close relationship with the Prime Minister Wang Yan. Who in the Yu family can compare to him?

From Shao Xun's perspective, if he wanted to integrate Yingchuan, a wealthy county with a large population and wealth, he must have his own people and collaborators.

The Yanling Yu family had been rooted in Yingchuan since the Later Han Dynasty and was a very suitable target.

Of course, there are other noble families in Yingchuan who can also cooperate with Shao Xun, but didn’t he specifically mention his niece Wenjun?
Well, after careful examination, this matter was said by Hu Wufuzhi, the big mouth, and it may not be true. But Shao Xun did not deny it, and his attitude is evident. After testing it today, Yu Min's idea was more confirmed.

This is promising!

After hearing Shao Xun's affirmative answer, the girl's face burned even more.

With passion flashing in her eyes, she held her breath, as if afraid of disturbing someone, and quietly poked her head out from behind the tree and took a peek. Coincidentally, Shao Xun also looked over here.

Hey, look what I see? A pair of girl's eyes with multiple emotions such as exploration, expectation, enthusiasm, shyness, etc., and a fiery blush on her face.

But after meeting his gaze, the girl's expression suddenly changed, and emotions such as surprise, dullness, and panic emerged.

Soon, there was a rustling sound and the sound of chaotic footsteps gradually faded away, and it seemed that there was no one behind the big tree.

The field fell silent.

Yu Min looked at Yu Liang, and Yu Liang blushed.

Shao Xun calmed down.

He suddenly thought that young girls were quite interesting. Although it was easier to conquer them and there was no sense of accomplishment, as a qualified old pervert, he should implement a diversified strategy at home.

Yu Min coughed and said, "Zimei has been in Ji County for a long time, and he is struggling. Do you have any idea of ​​moving to another place?"

Yu Liang came back to his senses and said, "I did say a few words, but I didn't know where to focus."

Ji County is located on the front line.

As Liu Han's power grows, this place will sooner or later be attacked, whether it is a feint or a main attack.

To be honest, Yu Chen has done a very good job.

He relied on the more than a thousand soldiers sent by Shao Xun earlier, and then used various means to unite local tyrants and scholars, won several battles, and his prestige gradually increased.

Afterwards, Shao Xun secretly colluded with Shi Chao and others through Lu Zhi. When other counties in Hebei were in rebellion, Ji County was able to maintain peace. Yu Chen's prestige in the local area soared again, and he received a lot of money and food and troops. The 3,000 soldiers in the county were also considered to be experienced in battles and had some combat effectiveness.

But after all, it is the front line, and it can be maintained for a short period of time. Over time, without the support of the court, it will sooner or later collapse.

Yu Chen had this intention because he was worried that the imperial court would not be able to effectively govern Hebei and would be isolated and helpless.

"After defeating Wang Mi, the court may intend to use troops in Bingzhou and Hebei." Shao Xun revealed a little information, and he said: "The Grand Tutor also has this intention."

After hearing this, the two of them understood a little.

After eliminating internal hidden dangers, the imperial court would inevitably use military force against the Huns.

In the past, the kings were fighting each other and there was no time to spare.

Now that the fighting among the kings has ended, only the King of Donghai and his family are left. Faced with the "monster" created by the King of Chengdu before his defeat, both the government and the people want to pacify it.

Especially Taifu Sima Yue, he is under a lot of pressure now and urgently needs to prove himself and restore his image.

Then, it is normal to use military force against the Huns.

After all, although today's knowledgeable people believe that the Huns are already powerful and difficult to contain, they do not think they will definitely lose and still want to fight.

The Liangzhou soldiers who had just shone brilliantly under the city of Luoyang set out this morning to return to Liangzhou. It was heard that their route back would pass through Hedong County, and they would inevitably fight fiercely with the Xiongnu.

This may give us a glimpse into the attitude of the imperial court, which had no intention of giving up Bingzhou.

The Rebellion of the Eight Kings has ended, and the minor incidents involving Zhang Chang, Liu Borgen, Ji Sang, Wang Mi, etc. have also been settled one by one. The war between Jin and the Huns will become the mainstream next.

Maybe it would last for a few years, because the Xiongnu's strength was just that, and they didn't have much of an advantage. Even on paper, the Xiongnu was at a disadvantage.

This war still has to be fought!
After finishing the conversation in the back garden, Shao Xun said goodbye and left, returning to the Shao Mansion where he had been away for a long time.

During the Wang Mi Rebellion, the Shao Mansion accepted some of the guests from Panyuan Village. They had left by now, but the whole mansion was still a bit messy.

Shao Xun didn't care much. After sending someone to tidy up the things quickly, he sat down to write a letter.

Lu Zhi just reported that there were prisoners causing chaos in Guangchengze, but they were quickly suppressed by the Yamen troops who stayed behind.

The reason for the rebellion is still too bitter.

The construction of Guangchengze has entered its third year this year, or two years and seven or eight months.

Not only were the teachers and students miserable, but the local government was also fed up and began to show some emotions.

Shao Xun thought about it and decided that as this was the biggest gain he had made from the imperial court in the past six years, he had to continue with this project.

Well, I have to trouble Wang Situ again.

Dealing with this person is all about naked interests. This time, we have to come up with a good rhetoric, so that Wang Situ can use his unique skill of "making false statements" to persuade the emperor and strengthen his determination to continue the Guangchengyuan Palace.

The imperial court had experienced the Wang Mi Rebellion, and its prestige had been somewhat damaged, but only "somewhat". While we can still use the local government, we should hurry up and do it. When the prefectures and counties no longer care about the imperial court, where can we get free money, food, materials, and labor?

After thinking about this, Shao Xun started to deal with the compensation for the soldiers who died in the war...

I was busy with one thing after another until late at night.
