Three Kingdoms King of the North

"My lord is in Yecheng." Guo Jia was obviously dissatisfied with Mo Quan's answer, and he continued to ask, "Did you see it with your own eyes, or did you hear it from others?"

Mo Quan was confused by Guo Jia's question, and he replied instinctively: "The villain has been following Gong and Mr. in Yecheng to build palaces for His Majesty. You can often see my lord taking General Dian Ziman to inspect the construction site, so I know that my lord In Yecheng, rather than listening to what others say."

"Mo Quan, you are exhausted all the way, go down and rest first." After Guo Jia found out that Han Zhan hadn't moved in Yecheng, he thought that what he said to Zhao Yun next was not suitable for outsiders to hear, so he dismissed him. Moquan went to rest: "Come here, send Moquan to rest."

After Mo Quan left the big tent, Guo Jia looked at Zhao Yun and asked: "Zilong, this matter is really strange. My lord is in Yecheng, and the messenger we sent should not have arrived in Yecheng yet. How did he know about Guo Yun?" Did Si die at the hands of Wu Xi?"

"Yeah, that's really weird." The reason why Zhao Yun was so surprised when he saw Han Zhan's letter was because Han Zhan told him that if Li Jue and Guo Si escaped during the capture of Meiwu, there was no need to send them out. people to search.Before long, Li Jue will die at the hands of Duan Yan, and Guo Si will also be eliminated by his general Wu Xi. "Guo Si has already died at the hands of Wu Xi. It is unbelievable that Li Jue will die at the hands of Duan Yan next."

Guo Jia waved his feather fan and said puzzledly, "When Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, he sent Duan Yan to station his troops in Huayin, and he had nothing to do with Li Jue at all. The two had no grievances in the past, and now they have no enmity. How could he kill Li Jue?"

"Mr. Feng Xiao." Seeing that Guo Jia, who is always resourceful, was disturbed by Han Zhan's letter, Zhao Yun said with a smile, "my lord is always predictable. When Wang Yun got rid of Dong Zhuo , isn’t it also he who sent Ju Gong to fuel the flames? From someone’s point of view, since he said that Li Jue would die at the hands of Duan Yan, it must be correct, and we don’t have to worry about how to deal with Li Jue anymore. These two days The people in Meiwu have almost migrated, do you think we will rush to Chang'an as soon as possible?"

"There are less than [-] people in the city." Guo Jia nodded and said, "Let them return to Chang'an with our army tomorrow."

Just when Zhao Yun and Guo Jia gave up their plan to get rid of Li Jue, there was an uproar in Hongnong City.Zhang Xiu took Hu Feng's head back to the city and handed it over to Zhang Ji.After Zhang Ji learned that this was Zhao Yun's gift to him, he nodded and said, "Youwei, remember Zhao Zilong's friendship, if you have a chance in the future, you must repay him."

"What about the head?" Zhang Xiu asked tentatively, "Will it be hung on the city gate for public display?"

"Youwei can't be so reckless." Regarding Zhang Xiu's proposal, Zhang Ji immediately objected: "Li Jue is still in the city, if the heads of his confidantes are shown to the public, it will definitely arouse his dissatisfaction."

"If you are dissatisfied, you will be dissatisfied." Zhang Xiu said with some disdain: "There are only a few dozen people around him. Even if we see Hu Feng's head being displayed to the public, there will be no trouble."

As Li Jue's former subordinate, Zhang Ji said with great concern: "No matter what, Uncle Wei was his subordinate. If we turn against him, it will have an impact on Uncle Wei's reputation."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu could only let out a long sigh, and walked out of the meeting hall with the wooden box containing Hu Feng's head.One of the subordinates waiting outside saw Zhang Xiu coming out, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the box in his hand, and asked for instructions: "Young General, can you show this head to the city gate?"

Zhang Xiu snorted, and then said: "Forget it, uncle won't allow this, so we don't need to make trouble. Throw it out and feed it to the dogs." The subordinate agreed, and came outside the mansion with the box in his hands, and found a wild dog Hu Feng's head was thrown out.

Chapter 318

Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others have not yet returned to Yecheng, while Xun Yu has rushed to Yecheng from Jizhou. He has important matters to discuss with Han Zhan.

Seeing Xun Yu's appearance, Han Zhan was quite surprised. He thought that there was something wrong with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, so he quickly asked, "Xun Changshi, do you know what happened to Shengjia?"

"Sheng Jia, what can Sheng Jia do?" Hearing Han Zhan's question, Xun Yu couldn't help being confused.

Although Xun Yu is his elder, when it comes to business, Han Zhan still asks in a business-like manner: "Since Shengjia is fine, why did Xun Changshi rush from Jizhou to Yecheng?"

"Spring plowing is just around the corner, but now a large number of people are still building the palace." Xun Yu said with a serious expression: "If the farming season is delayed, then there may be a poor harvest in Jizhou today."

Hearing what Xun Yu said, Han Zhan also felt that the current priority is spring plowing, and the construction of the palace can be put on hold for a while, so he said to Ju Shou: "Gongyu, Xun Changshi is right. Then this year's crops may fail. In my opinion, the construction of the palace should be postponed for now."

"No!" Unexpectedly, after Han Zhan finished speaking, Ju Shou said with a stiff neck: "From the current point of view, the palace will be completed in half a month at most. How can we give up halfway at this time?"

Jushou was eager to let Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty live in the newly built palace as soon as possible, while Xun Yu hoped to suspend the construction of the palace in order not to delay the farming season.The two had a dispute over whether to continue to build the palace or to be busy with spring plowing first.

There were quite a few court officials present in the conference hall, and upon hearing the dispute between the two important ministers of Jizhou, they automatically divided into two factions.The ministers headed by Yang Biao and Zhu Jun agreed with Jushou, hoping to repair the palace as soon as possible and allow Emperor Xian of Han to settle in. After all, since Han Zhan sent people to rob Emperor Xian from Chang'an, the world has been without a master for several months.The ministers who supported Xun Yu believed that food is the most important thing for the people. If the farming season is missed, once the grain harvest fails, people will inevitably starve to death.

Seeing that the two parties said that the public is right and the wife is right, Han Zhan's whole head was about to split from the quarrel.In all honesty, he wanted to support Xun Yu and concentrate on doing a good job of spring plowing first. After all, he postponed his original plan to conquer Qingzhou because of spring plowing.But when he saw that those who supported Jushou were all important ministers in the court, he had to think carefully.

After the two sides argued in the conference hall for more than half an hour, the eunuch Zhao Qi and the eunuch Ma Rixun who supported Xun Yu still pushed the conflict to Han Zhan: "Jizhou Mu, please make up your mind on this matter."

Seeing that the military officials in the conference hall had been divided into two factions, Han Zhan knew that neither side should be offended, so after some hesitation, he said, "My lords, is there any way to achieve the best of both worlds, without delaying the construction of His Majesty's palace, and also Will you miss this year's spring plowing?"

As soon as his question came out, the eloquent warriors all shut their mouths.When it comes to being an official, everyone has their own tricks, but when it comes to farming, I'm sorry, that's not what we are good at.

Fortunately, Han Zhan has been to the fields many times since he came to this era, otherwise he would be like Minister Wu in the conference hall, having a headache about spring plowing.He coughed softly: "The Marquis has a plan to get the best of both worlds, and I don't know if it will work."

When Xun Yu heard what Han Zhan said, his eyes lit up, and he said quickly, "My lord, if you have any good ideas, you might as well tell them and let everyone take a look."

All the soldiers in the court also felt that Han Zhan's method should be a good way to resolve the current predicament, and quickly echoed: "If there is any good strategy for Jizhou Mu, you might as well tell it."

"Benhou heard that there was a kind of columbine cart in the previous dynasty." Although Han Zhan knew little about ancient farm tools, he remembered that a kind of columbine cart was introduced in the Western Han Dynasty, which could improve farming efficiency. However, at this moment, it happened to be used in an emergency: "One person pulls the columbine cart with the oxen in front, and the other person holds the columbine cart in the back to sow seeds. One hectare of land can be sown in a day, which not only greatly improves the sowing efficiency, but also increases the grain production. "

Neither the officials of Jizhou nor Wu of the imperial court were stupid people in the conference hall. When they heard Han Zhan suddenly mentioning the car, they couldn't help showing joy on their faces. They knew that this was the key to resolving the dispute.Ma Rixun asked with a smile, "I wonder if Jizhou Mu intends to promote this kind of farm tool during the spring plowing period, which can save manpower and improve farming efficiency."

As soon as Ma Rikun finished speaking, Yang Biao also continued: "We can arrange manpower to build columbine carts and distribute them to farmers for use during spring plowing. In this way, a lot of manpower can be saved for farming to ensure that With enough manpower, continue to build the palace for His Majesty."

Xun Yu heard that Han Zhan mentioned columbine carts, and knew that the use of this kind of farm tool could indeed improve farming efficiency, so he did not continue to argue. Improve the efficiency of farming.

After Han Zhan made the decision of building the palace and spring farming, he asked Xun Yu curiously: "Xun Changshi, this Marquis has moved nearly 30 people from Chang'an and other places, and now they are all resettled in Ye. In the south of the city, you should start to allocate land to them as soon as possible."

"My lord," Xun Yu waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate is busy with official duties, and has no time to take care of the people who have recently moved to Jizhou. For such important matters, the lord should assign someone else."

Hearing what Xun Yu said, Han Zhan immediately realized that he hadn't considered it thoroughly enough. Xun Yu is the governor of Jizhou, and he has to deal with so many things every day. How could he handle the resettlement of the people in Chang'an as well.So he nodded and said: "Since Xun Changshi has no free time, then this Marquis will leave this matter to others to complete."

After Han Zhan finished speaking, he glanced at Jizhou Wu in the conference hall, and decisively chose the candidate when: "Where are Xun You and Shi Tao?"

The two ministers whose names were called immediately walked out of the queue, cupped their hands at Han Zhan, and replied, "My subordinates are here!"

Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others have not yet returned to Yecheng, while Xun Yu has rushed to Yecheng from Jizhou. He has important matters to discuss with Han Zhan.

Seeing Xun Yu's appearance, Han Zhan was quite surprised. He thought that there was something wrong with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, so he quickly asked, "Xun Changshi, do you know what happened to Shengjia?"

"Sheng Jia, what can Sheng Jia do?" Hearing Han Zhan's question, Xun Yu couldn't help being confused.

Although Xun Yu is his elder, when it comes to business, Han Zhan still asks in a business-like manner: "Since Shengjia is fine, why did Xun Changshi rush from Jizhou to Yecheng?"

"Spring plowing is just around the corner, but now a large number of people are still building the palace." Xun Yu said with a serious expression: "If the farming season is delayed, then there may be a poor harvest in Jizhou today."
