Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 152

It snowed heavily for three whole days, and it still didn't stop. The terrible cold wind pierced the heart like needles, and the temperature dropped extremely. Sharp and bright icicles even formed on the beams of the house, thick and thick. The white snow piled up on the streets of Su County. Although a special person cleared a road for horse-drawn carriages, the originally bustling and lively Su County has gradually calmed down. Only a few shops that sell daily necessities and oils The business continued, but the whole city seemed a bit empty. In this weather, most of the merchants gave up their business, and the common people also chose to stay at home. With the help of the warmth of the stove and the delicious hot soup, they recovered their hunger and cold. With a high degree of preparation, there will never be a situation where there are roads and bones frozen to death in Su County.

On the fifth day, the heavy snow gradually subsided, and the Suxian county government immediately organized manpower to clear the snow everywhere, and merchants and people took to the streets again. It was only more than a month before the New Year, and everyone still wanted to continue Work hard and have a good year. Today, the world is chaotic and wars abound. Youzhou has finally settled down. Coupled with Yuan Xi's justice and benevolence, as well as the policy of vigorously encouraging business, the people have great expectations for this new year. look forward to.

As the ruler of Youzhou, Yuan Xi didn't want any troubles to arise at this time, but things in the world were unsatisfactory. On the third day after the snowfall, something happened to You Beiping.

Youbeiping is the only county without generals and regular troops guarding it. Daijun and Shanggu have Xianyufu and Tie Xianhu, Yuyang has Tianyu, and Jiaochu and Zhao Yun, who have not yet returned and need to be responsible for stabilizing various places for a period of time, and Liaoxi There is Yan Rou, the God of Dinghai, and you don’t have to worry about going to the county. Not only is there the Nutao Army, but it is also closer to Guangyang, adjacent to Jizhou, and there are few foreigners, so it can be said to be the safest.

As for You Beiping, due to the small population, not much arable land, taxes have not been raised, so it is difficult to support a large number of troops, and he is between Yuyang and Liaoxi, so there is no need. Mobilize troops.

However, the troubles this time did make Yuan Xi hesitate. This hesitation came from Tian Chou, who had been reluctant to become an official in Xu Wushan.

Tian Chou, who followed Liu Yu back then, was fair in nature, smart, witty, and foresighted. Later, after Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zan, he took his clan and lived in seclusion in Xuwu Mountain. Due to the corrupt government at that time, the serious corruption, and the rampage of foreigners, many people couldn't live with it, and they went to join them. In just a few years, the number reached more than 5000 households, which is already the size of a city in Youbeiping. Not only that, in order to defend against foreigners, he also cultivated [-] soldiers and horses from these [-] households, and cultivated food to support himself without any help from the counties.

It stands to reason that Yuan Xi loves such a great talent, but this Tian Chou is unwilling to become an official in their Yuan family. Except for his father, he has already sent invitations three times, inviting this great talent to come to Su County for a while , but no matter how good he said, this guy just made excuses in every possible way, which made Yuan Xi angry. After many inquiries, Yuan Xi finally realized that this guy was dedicated to the Han Dynasty, and the others were ministers of a chaotic country in his mind.

His existence may be a paradise for the people of Youbeiping, but for Yuan Xi, the ruler of Youzhou, it is indeed an insult, a self-contained kingdom, how can his character allow it to exist, let alone him. This is still a potential threat.However, the reason why Yuan Xi did not take any action was because Tian Chou admired one thing about him, that is, he was not greedy for power. Except for Xu Wushan, he did not have the slightest ambition for other places. , so Yuan Xi didn't want to touch him for the time being.

But Yuan Xi didn't want to move, and others had their own ideas. This winter, Wuhuan's losses were even greater than before. Tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses were killed and injured. There have been people fighting for one bite of food, resulting in deaths and injuries. However, Yuan Xi had already made deployments, and Xian Yufu's army performed a drill whenever there was nothing to do, which made Nanlou frightened, and Yan Rou even met with several Liaoxi Shanyus directly, and added what he had done when he pacified Yuyang. Due to the military power displayed, no matter whether it is the small Wuhuan tribe or the Three Kings' tribe, they dare not act recklessly in Yuan Xi's territory, and honestly exchange horses for food.

However, Wu Yan, who is located in Youbeiping, has more than [-] soldiers in command, and claims to be the King of Khan and Lu, is indeed a greedy person. An enclave, Tian Chou is very good at internal affairs, his [-] households are doing well, and the food and grass are quite sufficient, which has become a piece of fat. Wu Yan is a shrewd person, he has seen Yuan Xi's love for Tian Chou Dissatisfied, so I decided to do it.

I don't know whether it was on purpose or not, a few members of Wu Yan's own clan entered Xu Wushan by accident, had conflicts with the residents inside, and were later shot dead by the guards. Now Wu Yan could find an excuse, and asked Yuan Xi wrote a letter to explain the situation, and at the same time began to call up soldiers and horses, preparing to personally pacify Xu Wushan Tianchou.

In this matter, if someone other than Xu Wushan, let alone killed a few people, even Wuyan, Yuan Xi would never let Wuhuan's army enter Youbeiping. Three kings, blood flowed like a river.But this is Xu Wushan, Tian Chou has been unwilling to be loyal, so Yuan Xizheng intends to teach Wu Yan a lesson, let him understand who is the master in Youzhou, but if he does this, the five thousand households will suffer, no matter what , they are innocent, and they are still Yuan Xi's subjects.

After hesitating for two days, Li Ru and Pang Tong came before Yuan Xi.

"My lord, Wu Yan has already dispatched troops. He went straight to Xu Wushan. He was very honest along the way and never hurt anyone from our county," Li Ruhui reported.

A trace of unbearable and worry flashed in Pang Tong's eyes, and he said softly: "My lord, if we don't send troops, Xu Wushan may not be able to hold on. This time, Wu Yan brought more than 8000 people, which is a huge number."

Yuan Xi tapped his fingers on the table. After hesitating for a long time in his eyes, he finally sighed, "No matter what, the people are innocent. Immediately pass on my order to ask Wu Yan to withdraw from You Beiping immediately. I will deal with this matter." I will give him an answer, and let Zilong lead the wind cavalry army to rush there, and we must stop Wu Yan from marching into Xu Wushan. If he doesn't listen, we will destroy him."

"My lord is benevolent, I will lead the people in Xuwu Mountain to thank you for your virtue." Hearing this, Pang Tong immediately gave a deep salute.

Yuan Xi shook his head, looked at the two of them, and said a little puzzled, "If it wasn't for the safety of the common people, I would let Tian Yu die!"

Li Ru and Pang Tong looked at each other with a smile, and then Li Ru praised: "Young master encourages the world to help the world and seeks benefits for the people. How can you sit idly by? The land of Xu Wushan should be disbanded and the common people should come out of it."

"What the military adviser said is very true. If he still wants to continue to build this paradise, then there is really no need to stay," Pang Tong also said seriously.

"I hope so! Military division, you are sending a letter to Tadun Shanyu. If Wu Yan keeps giving orders, don't blame Xi." Yuan Xi's eyes were full of coldness.

"No!" Li Ru replied.
