Chapter 104 The victims destroyed the city and Xunyang became a purgatory
What irritated Yuan Ji was that the Grand Master believed that Jingnan was unstable and needed a veteran general to take charge.
The three counties in Jingnan are Sun Jian's sphere of influence. Ever since Sun Jian went to Xuzhou, Zu Mao has been in charge.
However, the Royal Navy was established, and Zu Mao, who was well versed in water warfare, was transferred to Chaisang to serve as the commander of the navy. As a result, the barbarians and thieves in Lingling and Guiyang showed signs of resurgence.
Empress Dowager He, who had already known about it, deliberately asked the officials who was qualified for the job?
Everyone knows the rules of officialdom. If there is no candidate, Lu Zhi will definitely not talk nonsense.
Sure enough, there were only a few proposers, so Empress Dowager He immediately asked Lu Zhi: "Who does the Grand Master think would be appropriate to go to Jingnan?"
Yuan Ji suddenly noticed that Lu Zhi smiled meaningfully at him, and he suddenly felt wary.
Lu Zhi made a loud suggestion: "I think that if a person is not a sage, who can have no faults? How much can he improve if he knows his mistakes! If Her Majesty the Queen Mother is merciful and orders Yuan Shao, the former Huben Zhonglang, to commit a crime and perform meritorious service, Jingnan can rest easy."
As if his tail was stepped on, Yuan Ji almost ran up to the top of the hall.
Jingnan was conquered by Sun Jian. Counting Yuan Shu's sphere of influence, Yuan Shao defeated Yuan Mansion and established his own business, which has long been the same as the highway.
Once Yuan Shao sets foot in Jingnan, he will create a three-foot wave even if nothing happens. Not to mention the perverse temper of the highway, can the entire Jiangnan still calm down?
If the Taishi clan adds fuel to the flames, Yuan Shu's power will inevitably be contained or even greatly dispersed and weakened, which will further affect the Yuan family's reputation.
Although his ideas are all right, he cannot rashly boycott.
From a blood perspective, Yuan Shao is still his brother no matter how bad or mischievous he is. If he vetoes it, Yuan Shao's unfounded accusations will be confirmed, and the rift will really be irreparable.
In that case, the reputation of the Yuan family and himself will fall again.
No, we have to talk to Liu Biao and Cao Cao to place the troublemaker on the spot as soon as possible. It is best to die in Bashu for the rest of his life and not come out to attract attention.
That night, Yuan Ji, Liu Biao and Cao Cao gathered together.
Yuan Ji didn't waste any time and said directly: "I am a bit impatient at first, so I thought it would be better to practice in Shu first."
It is true that Liu Biao, a prince of one side, is a famous figure in the contemporary era, but when it comes to the head of the Yuan family, he can only bow his head and obey orders.
"What the Master said is right. I will discuss this matter with Benchu when I get back and try my best to arrange it properly."
Yuan Ji nodded, then turned to Cao Cao: "Mengde has known Benchu for many years, please give me more advice. As long as he stays safe, it will not be difficult to build a state within three or two years."
Cao Cao quickly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Yes! I will definitely give you some good advice."
After warning, Yuan Ji began to talk about "abolition of history and establishment of animal husbandry".
"Brother Jing Sheng's idea is approved by the Queen Mother and the court. However, some states and counties are opposed to it. Let's think about it carefully and bring it up at the end of the year."
Liu Biao knew very well that he had tampered with the cakes of the governor and the county governor, and he did not know how many people hated him.
You know what you know, but the power of Yizhou must be in your own hands, so why not take the opportunity to change generals?
"In that case, let's do this. Well, Zhang Gongqi is both civil and military, so it would be good if he could go out to control Jingnan."
Yuan Ji understood that in order to consolidate Yizhou's power, Liu Biao must drive away Zhang Lu's forces.
Both sides had their own thoughts, but they reached a tacit understanding on the choice of Jingnan governor.
The essence of politics is the exchange of interests.
In order to win over Cao Cao, Yuan Ji decisively sent out a letter of filial piety and integrity.
Sixteen-year-old Cao Ang will be able to serve as an official after taking the government examination early next year. This is a routine for court bosses and aristocratic families.
Although both promote filial piety and honesty, there are differences.
Recommended by a top boss like Grand Tutor Yuan Ji, Cao Ang is a proper official in the capital, and the arrangement must be based on the merits of the noble and the noble.
As the battle for the emperor came to an end, local governors, governors, governors and county guards began their return journey one after another.
The horses in Dongdu are running and dancing, and they have entered the rhythm of luxurious life.
No matter which dynasty, while the rich and powerful are extravagant and luxurious, it also means that the lives of the people at the bottom are difficult.
In normal times, ordinary people can still survive, but when encountering natural or man-made disasters, the conflicts between the powerful and the victims can explode.
The early morning of the seventh day when the disaster relief team set out.
Liu Bei, who was as tired as a dead dog, arrived at Lujiang Administrative Office and Wan County with more than 500 extremely tired cavalry.
At this moment, the person in charge of Wan County is an old official of the Yuan family, Huya General Liu Xun and Liu Zihuang.
All the governors, governors, governors and governors of the state went to the capital, and Liu Xun, who was a die-hard supporter of Yuan Shu, became the local emperor of Lujiang.
You have the right to use it and it will become invalid upon expiration.
This guy seizes the opportunity to plunder, making people miserable and full of complaints.
Xunyang County, where a flood broke out half a month ago, is in a critical period of drought, with people dying of hunger everywhere.
Liu Xun actually refused to save him even when he was dead, and refused to allocate food to him.
The victims of the Xunyang disaster who were homeless and without food were forced to turn into animals and exchange their children for food.
In Xunyang, human tragedies are commonplace.
A considerable number of refugees have spread to the surrounding areas, and looting incidents occur frequently. If food relief is not allocated, riots may occur at any time.
Outside the north gate, Jinwu, the leader of the dynasty, arrived with his troops, saying that they were here to provide relief to the victims, which surprised Liu Xun greatly.
According to the routine, if an emergency report is sent out and the court sends people to provide disaster relief, it will take six or seven days at the earliest.
How can Liu Bei be so fast?
Zhi Jinwu's name is too famous. As an old official of the Yuan family, Liu Xun knows it very well, not to mention that Yuan Shu was sent to Jiujiang because of this person.
Liu Xun had to pick up the imperial envoy, but he was afraid that Liu Bei would find an excuse to kill him.
So he took nearly a thousand people in the city and went out to meet him.
Liu Bei was sitting on a stone by the roadside, his hair unkempt and his body stained with stains.
Behind him, more than 500 cavalrymen were staggering like beggars.
Seeing Liu Xun coming up to exchange greetings and compliments, he asked: "How many villages have been flooded?"
How could Liu Xun figure it out? He hesitated and couldn't answer.
Ask again: "How many victims are there?"
Still hesitating.
Liu Bei finally asked: "Have you ever sent people to allocate food for disaster relief?"
Hearing that the tone was wrong, Liu Xun immediately retorted: "Disaster relief is the county governor's job, I am just a general..."

In fact, just now, Liu Bei had contacted the victims fleeing the famine, and also learned about Liu Xun's many crimes from the residents in the suburbs.
Liu Bei snorted and shouted: "Zilong!"
Zhao Yun, who was rotated to serve as Jinwu's personal guard, immediately jumped up with his gun and went straight to Liu Xun.
Liu Xun, who had had a premonition, immediately turned around and ran back, shouting at the same time: "Protect me, protect me..."
Four or five soldiers immediately emerged from behind him, each armed with swords and guns to intercept Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun swept across with his spear, and all the soldiers were knocked down. He took three steps in a row and threw his spear.
Liu Xun, who was running wildly, felt a pain in his back, and a bloody gun tip emerged from his chest.
"Ah!"
In severe pain, Liu Xun wailed and was nailed to the ground.
The county soldiers were dumbfounded and froze in place with fear, not daring to move.
Liu Bei slowly stood up, drew out his long knife, and came to the dying Liu Xun.
"I, the King, have ordered me to provide disaster relief and rescue the people! Today there is Liu Xun, a tiger-toothed general who is unfaithful and unkind, corrupt and perverts the law, and disregards the life and death of the victims. His crime is extremely heinous! Behead him in public!"
With a flash of the sword, the native emperor of Wan County was found dead and his head was in a different place.
"Where is the Prime Minister of Lujiang County?"
A fat man with a pale face and sweat dripping from his face stood up.
"Reply to King Wu, little Wu Xia is the magistrate of Lujiang County."
"Send an order to the whole county to set up porridge stalls wherever there are disaster victims. If one person dies of starvation, everyone from top to bottom, including you, will be killed!"
Wu Xia shivered, not even bothering to wipe off the sweat, and went back to convey the order in a pee.
Then, Zhang Xun, the Cavalry Captain whose rank was second only to Liu Xun, was also summoned.
Liu Bei pointed to Liu Xun's body and said: "You take his position, camp outside the county soldiers' city, and get the map!"
Zhang Xun's heart skipped a beat, now he has become a tiger-toothed general?
Quickly kneel down to receive the order, and let the two thousand county soldiers in the city go out to camp.
As the map unfolded, Zhang Xun showed his activeness and told all the news about the flood that he had heard.
The flood broke the embankments in Xunyang, so the main disaster area was in the southern part of Xunyang. At least tens of thousands of people were affected. News about Xunyang stopped three days ago.
This is not a good sign. It is possible that the victims of the Xunyang disaster have already rioted.
"You, take two thousand men and horses and rush to Xunyang with food. One is to save the people, and the other is to control the victims of the disaster. Don't kill people unless you have to!"
"Yes, General Mo will set off now!"
But Liu Bei couldn't trust him: "Zhao Yun, take people to follow him!"
Just as Zhang Xun thought, riots did occur in Xunyang. Tens of thousands of victims rowed rafts or waded through knee-deep floods to frantically besiege the county town.
Trapped in the city, there is also the doctor who came from Jiujiang to treat the victims.
Suddenly, the south city wall, which had been soaked for half a month, collapsed with a crash!
The victims were stunned, cheered together, and poured into the city along the gap like locusts.
