Chapter 319

Zhang Xiu took the letter and opened it for quick browsing. After reading the news on the letter, he had a dignified look on his brow. The message in the letter is that after Duan Lu sent troops to attack Chang'an, the rear area was empty.

Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang took the opportunity to send general Sui Gu to capture Huayin county.

Of course, with the courage and boldness, he did not have the courage to send troops to Hongnong county and attacked Duan's rear. It was Yuan Shao, a herdsman in Jizhou, who was behind the scenes.

Yuan Shao sent General Yan Liang to lead 10000 elite troops to help Zhang Yang capture Huayin county. After Zhang Yang captured Huayin County, Yan Liang continued to send troops to sweep Hongnong County in a short time, and won the whole Hongnong county.

The layout of Guanzhong by Yuan Shao was a great change for Zhang Xiu.

In history, Yuan Shao never intervened in Guanzhong, and his main energy was concentrated on Bingzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou. After Cao Cao captured Guanzhong, Yuan Shao had pressure to fight with Cao Cao.

Zhang Xiu took a deep breath and said, "come on, inform Li Ru to come to discuss the matter."

Now, Li Ru is the only one who is free.

After all, Li Ru is in charge of the Ministry of punishment.

The Ministry of war, which Jia Xu was in charge of, had to approve awards and pensions for the soldiers. The whole Ministry of war had many things to do.

"Here it is

The soldiers have to be ordered to inform immediately.

Zhang Xiu looked at Wang Yue and said, "let's have a closer look at the situation of Hongnong county and the publicity of Hanoi county. Especially today's publicity, is it subordinate to Yuan Shao, or just cooperate with Yuan Shao? We need to find out all the information carefully. "

"Here it is

Wang Yue answered and left.

Not long after Wang Yue left, Li Ru entered the hall and said, "Lord!"

Zhang Xiu waved to Li Ru to sit down and said, "Wenyou, I just got the news from Hongnong county. Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang and Yuan Shao's army sent troops to Hongnong. Now, Hongnong county is under the control of Yuan Shao. Sui Gu, a famous general, lived in Huayin county. Yan Liang, the general of Yuan Shao, controls the whole Hongnong county. "

Li Ru frowned and said: "the mantis catches the cicada, the Yellow sparrow is behind. I didn't expect that after the Yellow Finch, there were still hunters in ambush. It is reasonable to say that Yuan Shao's main forces were all attacking Gongsun Zan. How could he think of attacking Guanzhong? "

Zhang Xiu said: "under Yuan Shao's command, there are many counsellors with the overall situation view, and there are many powerful people. Whether it is Tian Feng, or Ju Shu, or Xu you and others, they can see through the situation. "

"It's very likely that we went to Guanzhong, killed Li Xi and Guo Si, and captured youfufeng and Jingzhao areas, which caused Yuan Shao's fear. In addition, some counsellors persuaded him, so Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang into Guanzhong."

"This makes it more difficult for us to unify Guanzhong."

Zhang Xiu eyes sharp, said: "next to attack Hongnong County, the difficulty increased."

"That's true!"

Li Ru nodded and answered.

Zhang Xiu said: "in the current situation, what do you think we should do?"

Li Ru pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Lord, even if it is difficult to attack Hongnong County, we must send troops. The whole Guanzhong must be under the control of the Lord. However, in the current situation, it is not suitable to send troops for the time being. To attack Hongnong County, we have to wait until after September. "

Zhang Xiu said, "why?"

Li Ru said, "there are four reasons to be humble."

"First, July is the hottest time in summer. At this time, it is extremely hard for the soldiers in the army to work hard on expeditions. The weather in June and July is unbearable to the soldiers. "

"Second, it is about to enter the autumn harvest season, and the whole Chang'an region needs to harvest grain. Although it may not be a good harvest in Guanzhong this year, it is also excellent to ensure that the grain planted will be harvested. "

"Third, although they won the war with Han Sui and Ma Chao, the Langya camp lost a lot and needed to recover its combat effectiveness. The soldiers in the army also suffered great losses, and the prisoners needed to be reorganized to form combat effectiveness. "

"Fourth, according to Xu Shangshu, when the political center moved from Yuyang county to Chang'an, all the affairs were in order for the time being, but not well coordinated. Here, too, you need the Lord's attention. "

Li Ru looked wise and said: "the above four points are the consideration of humble position. After another two or three months, it will be cool when the troops are sent out, and when the weather is good, they will take Hongnong County in one go. "

Zhang Xiu said, "let's do that."

Zhang Xiu also agrees with Li Ru's suggestion. Now, in July, it is getting more and more inflamed.

It's hard to March and fight.

Li Ru continued: "as the saying goes, food and grass go first before troops move. In terms of weapons and food, we can start planning. In addition, the situation in Hongnong county and Hanoi county must also be investigated as soon as possible. "

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "I have arranged for Wang Yue to inquire about the news. At least before sending troops, I will definitely find out all the information."

Li Ru said: "my Lord is wise!"

Zhang Xiu waved her hand and said, "go ahead!"

"Here it is

Li Ru answered and got up to leave.

Zhang Xiu sits alone in the room, dealing with the government affairs presented."Dong! Dong

All of a sudden, the drums are beating.

The sound of the drum came from the gate of the general's house. The sound of the drum was not very powerful, but it was very clear. After hearing this, Zhang Xiu raised her eyebrows, and there was a touch of surprise on her angular face.

This is the call for redress.

This is the first time that Zhang Xiu met the general outside the general's house after setting up a drum for grievances.

Soon, some soldiers came to the hall and reported: "general, there are 63 people outside the house. Everyone is here to ask the general for redress. "

Brush!

The color of Zhang embroidery changes slightly.

Sixty three families came together to redress their grievances.

It's not a small thing.

Zhang Xiu immediately ordered: "everyone, please come to the hall. Ben will inquire in person."

"Here it is

The soldier went to inform him when he had to.

After a while, 63 people entered the hall. After these people stood still, the light at the entrance of the hall suddenly darkened, as if there was a feeling of black clouds pressing the city.

Sixty three people, from fat to thin, from middle-aged to elderly. One by one into the hall, saw the hall above Zhang Xiu, all cramped up.

Who is Zhang Xiu?

He was the one who killed Xiongnu, defeated Cao Cao, and killed Li Xi and Guo Si.

Such people are awe inspiring.

Although the common people entered the hall to fight for justice, they were still a little nervous when they saw Zhang Xiu. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo once lived in this hall, which is wide enough to easily accommodate more than 60 people.

With a smile on her face, Zhang Xiu ordered the attendants to take 63 seats and put them in the hall one by one, so that all the people would sit down and not all the people in a circle would stand.

This battle is a little scary.

Everyone sat down and was more grateful to Zhang Xiu.

He is worthy of being a captain of Sili school and a general of Zhennan. He is approachable and has no airs of a general.

Zhang Xiu's eyes swept the crowd and took the lead in saying, "who among you can speak on behalf of everyone? It's a waste of time to ask and explain one by one. You recommend a person to explain things. "

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on the middle-aged man at the front.

This man was dressed in coarse linen, simple clothes, no luxury, not rich family background. But he stands out in the crowd like a rooster and has his own extraordinary bearing.

The middle-aged people are full of scholarly temperament, and they are full of poetic and scholarly spirit. After hearing Zhang Xiu's words, the middle-aged man was not polite. He took a step forward and said, "I'll meet general Zhang in the lower Duji."

Zhang Xiu heard the moment, eyebrows up.

Duki!

This is a celebrity in history.

Zhang Xiu's heart moved. He was not sure whether he was Du Ji in history. He asked, "are you from Jingzhao?"

"Yes

Du Ji nodded.

In Du Ji's heart, there are some doubts. How does Zhang Xiu know that he is from Jingzhao?

However, Du Ji didn't talk much.

At this moment, Zhang Xiu is determined to know that Du Ji in front of her is Du Ji in history.

Du Ji was born in poverty, but his ancestors were also prominent. Du Zhou, the ancestor of Du Ji, was a cruel official in the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. He served as the Prime Minister of the imperial censor, and was highly respected by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.

Du Yannian, the son of Du Zhou, was well versed in the law. In the period of emperor Zhao of Han Dynasty, he pacified the rebellion of Shangguan Jie and other officials, and the feudal society pacified the marquis. When Emperor Xuan of Han Dynasty was the ninth minister, he was one of the eleven meritorious officials in Qilin Pavilion of Emperor Xuan of Han Dynasty.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there were many high-ranking officials in the Du family, and the hall was prominent.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Du family gradually declined. In the Duji generation, the family was quite poor. Especially when Du Ji was young, his father remarried, and his stepmother was vicious. He treated Du Ji badly.

Du Ji's father died a few years later. Du Ji moved his stepmother with filial piety and had a harmonious relationship. Less than 20 years later, Du Ji was promoted to be a filial and honest man and served as a meritorious Cao of Jingzhao. During his tenure, he worked hard and made great achievements, and was finally appointed as the governor of Hanzhong Prefecture.

After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Du Ji took refuge in Jingzhou.

After Cao Cao pacified Guanzhong, Du Ji went to the north and was recommended by Xun Yu. He entered Cao Cao's field of vision and was highly valued by Cao Cao. He served as the captain of protecting Qiang and the prefect of Xiping. He stabilized the situation in Hedong and made great contributions to Cao Cao's pacification of Guanzhong.

After Cao Pi became emperor, he granted Duji the title of fengleting Marquis and ordered Duji to serve as a minister.

This is an able Minister of local governance.

It can protect the territory and the people.
