Han Dao world

Sun Rui saluted with a smile. "Being able to conquer with His Majesty, I have benefited a lot, even a little hard work is worth it. The so-called good fighters have no great achievements, Your Majesty just says so."

The corner of Liu Xie's mouth curled into a slight smile. "You don't have to flatter me. Since I have accepted the surrender, I won't change my mind. If I can control the invasion of the mausoleum, why do I kill more people? To win without fighting is what I wish for."

Shi Sun Rui felt relieved and bowed to worship again. "Your Majesty is benevolent, and the world is blessed. May your majesty's reputation spread far and wide, Yizhou bows its head, and the world is peaceful."

Liu Xie sighed. "Yizhou is different from Jizhou, and you can't put too high hopes on it. Shisun Gong, you can't get rid of your army and return to the land. The matter of Yizhou, please."

Sun Rui was in a complicated mood.

On the one hand, the emperor entrusted him with the task of pacifying Yizhou, which was his trust in him and his sincerity in making him a captain.

On the other hand, this also means that it is difficult for Yizhou to surrender without a fight like Jizhou, and a fierce and even protracted war is inevitable.

Although he didn't expect this, he also knew that the emperor was right, and it was unlikely that Yizhou would surrender without a fight.

The reason is also very simple. Yizhou has a favorable location, unlike Jizhou, where the imperial army can go all the way to the city.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Immediately, Liu Xie discussed with Shi Sun Rui the arrangements for the surrendered personnel. There were two main things: one was the exile of the generals, and the other was the reorganization of the soldiers.

Regarding the former, Liu Xie's attitude was very firm. Whether it was important generals like Zhang He and Gao Lan, or low-level officers like Qu Junhou, they would all be exiled without exception.

Not only must they be exiled, but they must also be broken up and scattered to different places, so that there is no possibility for them to regroup.

Shi Sunrui euphemistically expressed a different opinion.

Being exiled overseas is not just about punishment, it also means letting them expand their territories and make meritorious deeds.The reason why those people are willing to surrender is because they feel there is still hope.The reason why the judges were willing to surrender was also because the imperial court did not kill them all, and left a glimmer of life for the people of Jizhou.

If they are broken up, there will only be the role of punishment, and there will be no possibility of committing crimes or making meritorious deeds.

No matter how good a general is, if he does not have a certain amount of troops to use, facing an unfamiliar environment, he will only die.

If His Majesty just wants to punish them, it is better to send them to guard the border, or to fight with the army instead of serving as officials and servants.

It's just that, on the one hand, there is a suspicion of dishonesty, and on the other hand, it is also a waste.

It is a pity that there are many generals in Jizhou, and the famous generals who have already proclaimed themselves are used as ordinary soldiers.

Regarding the latter, Shi Sunrui had no objection.

Since Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, Jizhou has been in a state of war for ten years.Now that it's so easy and peaceful, it is indeed necessary to reduce the number of soldiers and let more soldiers go home to work in agriculture and resume production.

Finally, Shi Sunrui reminded again.

It is easy to attack a city, but difficult to attack a heart.

No matter whether the judges surrendered or not, within a year or two, Yecheng would be destroyed.But wanting to regain the hearts of Jizhou is not something that will happen overnight.

Whether Jizhou is stable or not is related to whether Youzhou and Bingzhou in the north of Dahe can get enough resources, and it also has inestimable significance to northern Xinjiang.Since His Majesty wants to pacify Liaodong, expel the Hulu, and drink horses to the North Sea, he must pay attention to the gains and losses of Jizhou.

And only when the frontier is stabilized, can His Majesty free up his hands, calmly advance the Central Plains, and realize the kingly way.

After hearing Shi Sun Rui's words, Liu Xie's heart moved and he laughed silently.

He understood what Shi Sun Rui meant.

The threat of Jizhou people is easy to solve, but the interests of the Central Plains scholar-bureaucrats have not really been touched.Only by solving the problem of people's hearts in Jizhou as soon as possible, and carrying out Dutian in Jizhou to the end, can the main battlefield of Dutian be transferred to the Central Plains.

"I'll think about it again."

"Wei." Shi Sun Rui bowed and retreated.

After leaving the camp of the Chinese army, Shi Sun Rui got on his horse, looked in the direction of the imperial tent of the Chinese army, and breathed a sigh of relief.

For him, the trip was perfect.Not only got the opportunity to move to Yizhou, but also persuaded the emperor to adjust his thinking in order to complete the digestion of Jizhou as soon as possible.

Although the son of heaven is young, he is wise and wise, beyond the reach of the first emperor.

Maybe this time it will succeed and truly change the fate of the big man.

"Back to camp." Shi Sun Rui was in a good mood, and as soon as he raised his whip, he was ready to gallop.

"Zhonghou, that's..." The guard suddenly exclaimed, pointing to the distance.

Shi Sun Rui looked along his hand and couldn't help being surprised. "Brother Xun Wenruo, why are they doing well?"

After a while, Xun Yu and Xun Chen rode their horses up to the front. Seeing Shi Sun Rui, they got off their horses quickly, walked quickly to Shi Sun Rui's horse, and bowed their hands in salute.

"I have seen Mr. Sun Gong."

Shi Sunrui also got off his horse, holding one in each arm, and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"We..." Xun Yu and Xun Chen glanced at each other and said in a low voice, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Sun, we are here to save people."

Shi Sunrui was stunned and couldn't help laughing. "You don't have to worry so much, Shen Pei and Tian Feng are dead, Yecheng has surrendered, and your family members are not in danger."

The Xun Yu brothers were both surprised and happy, and they couldn't help sighing while rubbing their foreheads.

"Fortunately, fortunately."

Shi Sunrui smiled, and then said: "Although your life is saved, you have to change it. You Ruo, Wen Ruo, you are all young and promising people. You have to help the emperor to promote the kingly way together." .”

Chapter 937

Xun Yu and Xun Chen watched the scholar Sun Rui get on his horse and leave, then turned their heads and looked at each other.

It's a good thing that the judges surrendered without a fight, and their families are safe.

But the bad thing is that the most stubborn judges all ended up like this, and they didn't even dare to fight, which shows the might of the emperor.Under such circumstances, is it really appropriate to discuss the issue of party imprisonment with the emperor?

"Shisun Junrong won the first battle, gratifying to congratulate." Xun Chen smacked his lips and said quietly.

Xun Yu didn't say a word.

He was still thinking about what Shi Sun Rui said.

He used to work with Shi Sunrui, and knew that Shi Sunrui was not the kind of person who gets carried away, so he taught him a lesson based on his enthusiasm for meritorious deeds.Saying such things to him at this time should be because he felt that his serving the emperor was not sincere enough and needs to be improved.

Tang Ji said so before, and now Shi Sun Rui said so, which is enough to show that he does have a problem.

Am I falling behind?

Xun Yu was a little frustrated.He is not yet 40 years old, he is in the prime of life, why is he aging prematurely?

Xun Yu was so distracted that he even forgot to ask someone to come forward to see him.Just when Xun Chen was about to remind him, Liu Cong walked over from the side.

"Xun Jun?" Liu Cong tilted his head and looked at Brother Xun Yu, a little uncertain.

"You are?" Xun Yu looked at Liu Cong, feeling familiar, but couldn't remember who it was.

Liu Cong jumped off his horse, rushed to Xun Yu in two steps, bowed his hands and saluted, laughing loudly. "It turns out that it is really Jun Xun, who has been admired for a long time. The boy Liu Cong, whose name is Jingsheng, is taboo by my father."

Xun Yu was both surprised and delighted. "So it's Liu Jingsheng's son. Hey, I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown up so much and your skills are so good, I don't dare to recognize you."

Liu Cong was overjoyed and smiled even more happily, but he said modestly: "Mr. Xun has won the prize. My ability is nothing. Anyone in the camp is better than me. Mr. Xun has just arrived, or is he about to leave? ?”

"Just arrived, haven't seen the driver yet."

"Has it been reported?"

"Not yet, I just ran into Mr. Shisun and said a few words."

"Oh." Liu Cong nodded repeatedly. "Then you wait a moment, I will enter the camp and report to Jun Xun by the way."

Xun Yu cupped his hands in thanks.

After Liu Cong left, Xun Yu looked at his tall and straight figure, suddenly thought of Xun Yun, and felt a little worried in his heart.

I don't know whether Xun Yun is alive or dead in the Western Regions.

Xun Chen tugged at him. "Wen Ruo, do you want to see the emperor directly? Don't inquire first."

Xun Yu sighed. "Brother, the emperor treats me sincerely, so I don't have to worry too much. Even if there is any disagreement, just talk about it face to face. Why bother to go out of your way to try to figure out what you want, and make people laugh instead."

Xun Chen frowned, and said nothing more.

After meeting Xun Yu, he wanted to follow Xun Wenqian's suggestion to go to Luoyang to meet Yuan Shu, but Xun Yu refused.

We go to see the emperor, and we need that bastard Yuan Shu to introduce him, do we still want this face?

For this reason, Xun Chen lost face.

After a while, an edict came from the camp, and the emperor invited Xun Yu to enter the camp.

Xun Yu tidied up his clothes and led Xun Chen into the camp.

On both sides are soldiers standing upright.Even though the autumn sun was like fire, these soldiers still stood as straight as spears in their hands, and they were still wearing armor.Sweat ran down their cheeks, and their shirts were already wet, but they didn't even blink their eyelids.

Xun Chen watched carefully, and couldn't help feeling secretly in his heart.

To have such elites, it is wise to judge and assign suicide to dedicate the city.If the fight really started, Yecheng would definitely not be able to defend it.

He has been under Yuan Shao's command for many years, he knows the ability of trial and assignment, and also knows the strength of Jizhou soldiers.The Hebei crossbowmen are indeed very powerful, but compared with the elite under the emperor's command, they are still far behind.

"The emperor governs the army, he can be called a famous general." Xun Chen said.

Xun Yu looked back at him. "Brother, your metaphor is inappropriate."

"Really?" Xun Chen laughed.He felt that Xun Yu was a little too nervous, and he had some unrealistic admiration for the emperor.In the military camp, what's wrong with comparing the Son of Heaven to a famous general?

"A famous general governs his army, he governs his body. The Son of Heaven governs his army, he governs his heart."

"How to heal the mind?"

"The officers and soldiers of the imperial camp include the Xiliang Qiang Hu, the old Yellow Turbans, and many Hu captives who have just been naturalized." Xun Yu raised his chin. "Can you see the difference?"

Xun Chen looked around, feeling a little headache.

The clothes of these soldiers are all the same, and their spirits are similar, so for a while, it is impossible to tell them apart.

It is indeed not easy for the Son of Heaven to squeeze these people into a ball and train them into elites.

The two came to the imperial tent and signed up again.Before the words fell, the emperor's laughter sounded in the tent.

"The governor of the Xun family came all the way, but he found a way to realize the kingly way?"

While speaking, the tent door was lifted, and Liu Xie came out from inside.Seeing Xun Chen, he froze for a moment.

"Who is this……"

Xun Yu quickly stepped forward to salute. "Your Majesty, this is Xun Chen, my fourth brother, whose name is Youruo. After sending Yuan Shao back to his hometown, he went to Chang'an to participate in a lecture. This time, I came to see you with my minister. Just now, I was negligent and did not confess to Liu Cong. His name, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"It turned out to be you, long-awaited, long-awaited." Liu Xie raised a faint smile, signaling Brother Xun Yu to enter the account. "Since you have met Shisun Junrong, you must know about Yecheng. This time, you are here to meet your family members, so it is a good time."

"Your Majesty has conquered but not fought, which is the fortune of Jizhou and the fortune of the world."

When he came to the tent, Liu Xie gave him a seat. He didn't rush to ask Xun Yu why he came, but first asked about Xun Chen's experience in Chang'an.

Xun Chen said a few words.

During this period of time in Chang'an, he has seen a lot, and it can even be regarded as an eye-opener.It's just that at this moment, he only has one thing on his mind: party affairs, and he doesn't have the heart to mention other knowledge.

From Chang'an to seeing the emperor, they were in a hurry all the way, and they didn't have time to pay attention to the latest mansion newspaper. I don't know if there is any new content in "Danggu Liebiography", and they don't know if anyone has provided the emperor with information related to party affairs. information.

It stands to reason that after the publication of the Mansion Newspaper, the party members of the world—or the enemies of the party members—should be moved by the news, and a large amount of secrets and information may have been sent to the emperor.

This is also one of the reasons why he met Yuan Heng before he wanted to see the emperor.

Yuan Heng and Cai Yan were friends, and Cai Yan was the person who presided over the compilation of "Dang Gu Lie Biography".Having met Yuan Heng, at least he can understand the progress.It would be even better if I could meet Yuan Gui.

But Xun Yu disagreed, and directly dragged him to see the emperor.

Seeing that Xun Chen refused to speak, Xun Yu spoke up.

"Your Majesty, the two brothers came here for two reasons: one is related to their family members in Yecheng. It is a blessing that they are safe and sound now. The words are stuck in your throat and you have to speak, so come to see you, please correct me in person."

The smile on Liu Xie's face became even brighter. "The governor of Xunfu is so eager that he can't even wait for the correspondence. It must be a very important matter. Well, speaking of party members, the Xun family in Yingchuan is a mountain that cannot be bypassed. Since you are here, let's talk openly." , have a good time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xun Yu bowed to express his thanks, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Liu Xie.

"I am afraid that such an important matter cannot be resolved in a few sentences. Besides, this matter is presided over by Cai Lingshi. Naturally, Cai Lingshi should be invited to sit in on it and be responsible for recording it as information for future history. You are also tired. , take a break first, and later participate in the sacrifice of prisoners, and meet with relatives and friends. After dealing with these mundane affairs, I will find time to talk about party affairs in detail."

Chapter 938

Xun Chen was in a complicated mood.

The emperor didn't want to talk about it now, and gave him a chance to buffer, which is of course a good thing.

But the irony in the emperor's tone was so obvious that the Ruying people in Yecheng were also classified as captives intentionally or unintentionally, obviously they didn't take him seriously, and they didn't intend to give Xun Yu face.

This is how to do?

Xun Chen was in a daze, but Xun Yu talked to Liu Xie about the harvest in Hedong today.
