4. Officials show common feelings (4)

Yan Su heard Yan Xing's anxious voice. The military service of the open canals and farming in Fufeng County was not effective, and the military affairs of the march into Yongliang would be delayed.

From the west of Mei County to the Guoqu to Chencang, the introduction of the Lie River as the source stream was not only to open up military farms, but also to prepare for the subsequent plan of the lieutenant generals and the lieutenant generals to gain a high hope for Sichuan.

But he still continued to pour cold water on Yan Xing from time to time.

"It is really inappropriate for the general to compare Guanzhong with the former Han Dynasty. During the former Han Dynasty, the capital of Chang'an was established, and the Sanfu was the capital of the capital. It worked hard for years to build canals and open fields, and continuously migrated to Guandong Prefecture and County to enrich the population, which led to the millions of people in Guanzhong as the general said."

"In contrast, since the Red Eyebrow Rebellion, Guanzhong has not yet recovered its vitality. In addition, Kyoto moved eastward, the system of moving tombs has been abolished, and Qiang chaos and wars have repeatedly invaded the Three Guards, shaking the world. As a result, the conscripts and congregations, galloping around the east and west, rushing to rescue the head and tail, running around, shaking the territory of several states, and consuming a thousand golds a day."

"If you are strong and strong, you will be committed to the military field, and if you are a woman, you will be a captive. Before the Qiang Rebellion was settled, the three auxiliary servants were exhausted."

"After Dong Zhuo moved west to the court, Guanzhong suffered constant wars. Li Jue, Guo Si's disciples, Ma Teng, and Han Sui's people fought fiercely and ate thousands of miles. The people of Sanfu fled in a row. Some entered Bashu in the south, some went out of Wuguan in the east, or some went to Hedong in the land of Hongnong. Before the king's army returned to Guanzhong, the threefu were already disabled!"

"But Guanzhong is a country of Tianfu after all, with a fertile land of thousands of miles. As long as the general works hard, adjusts his husband and builds dams, and recruits farmers to plant seeds, it may not be impossible to reappear the grand occasion of the former Han Dynasty. Jizhou was first affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then Zhang Yan and Gongsun Zan came to fight, and the counties were destroyed. Yuan Shao could even eat mulberries on his back, defeat the powerful enemy, occupy Hebei, and become the overlord!"

"Cao Cao in Yanzhou was in the place of four battles. There were Tao Qian outside, Yuan Shu fighting, Chen Gong inside, Zhang Miao was in trouble, and the counties were fighting fiercely, and he became a place for corpses. He was able to swallow Yuzhou and welcome the emperor in the west. It can be seen that things in the world are difficult and easy. If they do it, it will be easy. If they do it, it will be difficult."

"Instead of following the sigh of King Hui of Liang, sighing that Guanzhong is destroyed and the people are in decline, which is not beneficial to military affairs. It is better to calm down and work hard to manage the three auxiliary services, and use the achievements of gathering lessons to achieve the cause of reviving the king and establishing the domineering power!"

Hearing that Master Yan poured cold water on himself just right, Yan Xing smiled bitterly, and the recitation of Master Yan's past could not help but sounded in his ears.

"If you observe the policies of neighboring countries, there is no such thing as my intention. If you do not have more people in neighboring countries, why not have more people in neighboring countries?··The king is wary, please use war to describe it... If the king knows this, there will be no hope that there will be more people than the neighboring countries.····The king is not guilty for a year, and the people in the world will come."

Among the important officials under his command, Yan Xu was most afraid of Yan Shu. But today, looking at his coarse cloth clothes and barefoot boards, Yan Xing raised his eyebrows and said with some dissatisfaction:

"I galloped around the world and passed through my family for several times, defeated the powerful enemy, and recovered Guanzhong. I repaired Zheng Bai's two canals, personally led my soldiers to dig dredge and carry soil, claiming that I had spent ten times or a hundred times as much as King Hui of Liang. Duke Yan used King Hui of Liang to describe him as King Hui of Liang. Can it be said that he was not better than King Hui of Liang?"

Yan Su, who was gray-haired, was a little disgusted when he saw Yan Xing, so he had to say with sincerity:

"The poem says, 'Everyone has a beginning, but few have an end'. Of course, the general is better than King Hui of Liang, but he has a half ninety steps. The general still needs to be cautious in the beginning and respect the end. He should not be eager to achieve success, and he will fail!"

Hearing Master Yan's heartfelt advice, Yan Xing's face was slightly moved, and he nodded and said:

"I have received the teachings! Even though I settled down in Guanzhong, I still remember my original intention, and I will definitely not let down the masters who were in the last moment of my life, who were in love with each other and assisted in the painting plan."

"The general loves the people and is our blessing, and it is also a blessing in Guanzhong!"

Seeing that the inspection completed the national canal, the general of the Cavalry, who was in a bad mood, smiled at this moment, and officials such as Du Ji and the county magistrate of Ji County were relieved.

The matter of Chengguoqi was not completed last year, but this year it could still be completed step by step, gradually repaired and expanded to the west. However, if the official position was removed, not only this year, but also the political achievements of last year were eliminated.

At this moment, the chief clerk of Mei County also jogged over, carefully came to the side of the magistrate of Mei County, and whispered softly. After hearing this, the magistrate of Mei County showed hesitation and carefully observed the face of General Cavalry.

This scene happened to be seen by Du Ji. He frowned and asked directly to the Mai County Magistrate:

"But there is something else?"

"Well, Chengjun, there are two talented men from Bi County who have returned from Shu, who want to pay homage to General Cavalry!"

When Du Ji heard that this was the case, his expression turned serious. Cheng Guoqu, in Fufeng County, failed to complete the instructions of General Cavalry on time, which made General Cavalry dislike. If he had not been dismissed by himself and Chief Yan Su just now, he would have been deprived of his post, the county magistrate of 600 stones, would have been deprived of his post.

At this time, it was not a suitable thing for the magistrate of the Mei County to recommend talents.

After Du Ji learned that General of the Cavalry had pacified Guanzhong, the powerful men from all counties and counties used various names to ask for help, and then sent their own children to visit General of the Cavalry or the prefects of each county. Their purpose was nothing more than being favored and expelled and becoming officials.

However, among these people who pay homage to officials, there are few talented and talented scholars, and the majority are still people who are lucky enough to advance. At this time, if you are really a talented person, then the county magistrate of Mei County may be able to make up for the merits, but if you are only a few children of great surnames who are very ambitious and want to reach the top in one step, then you will not be able to recover this scene.

Facing the stern gaze of Fufeng County Magistrate Du Ji, the Magistrate of Mei County was also in pain and could not say it. He complained that the chief clerk did not know the time, but now he could only step forward and say:

"The two talents in the county were originally children of the big family who escaped from chaos and entered Shu. One was Meng Da and Meng Zijing, and the other was Fa Zheng and Fa Xiaozhi. They claimed that they had a plan to open the canal and had arrived in advance. They waited under the dike for a long time, but the officials dared not hide it, so they took the initiative to report it."

"Oh, Mengda, Fazheng, returned from Shu?"

At this time, Yan Xing also heard the Q&A of Du Ji and the Magistrate of Mei County. He became interested when he heard these two names, especially when he heard that the two had a channel and a plan to enter Sichuan was presented, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"General, will you wait until you return to the county temple and take a shower and change your clothes before you meet me?"

"No, since I'm here to offer a plan to open the canal, what's the harm in meeting with coarse cloth and trousers? You need to know that the river workers soaked in the water are all naked and wearing only a pair of calves. Let's see what their extraordinary opinions are!"

After saying that, Yan Xing turned around and looked at Yan Su, and asked with a smile:

"What do you think Yan Gong?"

"All follow the general's order!"

Seeing Yan Su, who had always paid attention to Shangguan's moral character, did not object this time, Yan Xing smiled and waved his hand to ask his personal guard to bring him a pair of straw sandals, and asked the chief clerk of Mei County to bring Meng Da and Fa Zheng.

The chief clerk of the county of Mei immediately led the troops, turned around and trotted. In a short while, he brought both Meng Da and Fa Zheng to Yan Xing and others.

Fa Zheng, handsome, Meng Da and slightly fat Fa Zheng, followed the chief clerk of the county magistrate to the people with politeness and politeness. He looked up and saw the young man dressed in barefoot with his calves exposed and was the General of the Cavalry. Although he had expected it, he could not help but be stunned for a moment, and then he quickly bowed and bowed.

"Mengda, Fa Zheng, from Ji County, pays homage to General Cavalry!"

"Get up, I heard that you all returned from Shu."

Yan Xing smiled and asked the two of them to get up, not caring about the surprise in their eyes.

This way of meeting completely broke Meng Da’s previous expectations along the way. At this time, his chest was cumbersome and he could only stabilize his mind and replied respectfully:

"The general reported to the general that because of the chaos in Guanzhong, the lower class had to leave his hometown to avoid disaster and flee into Nanshan. He originally wanted to take the Baoxi Road to enter Hanzhong and then arrive from Hanzhong to Chengdu. Unexpectedly, Zhang Lu, who was separating Hanzhong, had already fought with the newly appointed governor of Yizhou Liu Zhang, and the road from Hanzhong to Shu County was cut off."

"We can only escape from Hanzhong. We wanted to transfer the Chencang or Qishan roads, but we heard that the royal army had defeated Han Sui's rebels and pacified Guanzhong, so we stopped our desire to enter Shu to avoid chaos and returned to the township of Ji County."

"Oh, so you have only been to Hanzhong and have not arrived in Shu County?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Yan Xing looked at Meng Da who was a little uneasy and continued to ask:

"Oh, then let's talk to me about Zhang Lu's affairs in Hanzhong!"

"this--"

When he heard that Yan Xing was not in a hurry to ask about the way he had prepared early on, he asked about his affairs in Hanzhong. His intention was unknown and Meng Da felt very difficult, so he could only frequently use his eyes to show Fazheng to come forward to rescue the situation.

Fa Zheng didn't want to speak too early, but when he saw Meng Da frequently showing his eyes, Yan Xing's attention was also attracted and turned to himself. At this time, he could only clear his throat and salute and said:

"Zhang Lu's family passed down the Five Doks of Rice, and the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren preached Hanzhong, which was deeply loved by the people. Liu Yan, the former governor of Yizhou, used the power of the Five Doks of Rice, to cut off the road and seize Bashu. However, after Liu Yan's death, his son Liu Zhang succeeded, and had a feud with Zhang Lu, forming a bloody feud, and the two sides became enemies and attacked and killed each other."

"Originally, Hanzhong was weak and Bashu was strong, and Zhang Lu fought against one county and a state, with a huge gap in the crowd. However, Liu Zhang was secretly weak, with generals such as Shen Mi, Lou Fa, Gan Ning and other generals rebelling outside, and Pang Xi, Zhao Wei and other old ministers were restrained by him, fighting with Zhang Lu, and defeated repeatedly, and only able to protect himself, and could not pacify Zhang Lu, who was in control of Hanzhong."

"Oh, so, Zhang Lu can match a county with a state, and he is also a talented hero."
