9. Saving Luoyang City (Part 1) (This chapter is free)
On the third day of April, the morning sun rises with thousands of rays of rays. The vast expanse of green barley undulates slightly in the wind. As far as the eye can see, the wheat leaves sway like a sea of green. The beauty of the plain makes people feel relaxed.
Chen Cao and his entourage of more than 300 people left Sujiapu in Pingyu and headed for Chang'an. Su Daozhi led his people to send them directly more than ten miles away. They said goodbye in a warm tone. Su Daozhi said sincerely: "Chen Shijun will definitely come back to the country when he returns."
Let's rest in the fort. Su will have something to ask Chen Shijun for advice then."
Su Daozhi's eldest son, Su Qi, led ten troops to follow Chen Caozhi to the west of Chang'an, saying that he wanted to gain more knowledge and experience. Chen Caozhi wanted to marry Su's family, and he did not refuse.
In the next few days, the weather was fine. The group passed through Cai, Yinyang, and Linying, and headed northwest. A hundred miles north from Linying was Xuchang. Xuchang was originally the seat of Yingchuan County. For decades, Jin Yan
The armies clashed here several times. Xuchang, a large city in Yuzhou, sometimes belonged to Jin and sometimes to Yan, making it difficult to rule for a long time. Therefore, the Eastern Jin Dynasty merged Xiangcheng County into Yingchuan County thirty years ago, in the second year of Xiankang, and Yingchuan County was moved from Xuchang
Go to Xiangcheng, which is more than a hundred miles away from Xuchang. Gaorou, the prefect, is stationed here. It borders Diqin to the west and Qianyan to the north. There are frequent wars. Being an official here is much more difficult than Jiangzuo. Today, Xuchang
It was also occupied by Yan general Murong Chen, and the Xianbei cavalry could arrive from Xuchang in two hours. Xiangcheng was heavily armed and prepared for war all year round. Except for some powerful Wubi who continued to stay here, ordinary households moved south one after another.
Gao Rou, the prefect of Yingchuan County, received Chen Caozhi's letter the day before yesterday. He took it very seriously and discussed it with his officials and staff overnight. The next day, he sent five prestigious county officials to visit the leaders of the Wubi sect commanders in the seven counties of Yingchuan.
, when Chen Cao and his party arrived in Xiangcheng, these county officials had not yet returned to the county to resume their duties, but Chen Caozhi believed that with such comfort from the refugee clans, they would not immediately turn to Di Qin, and those Wudi would take a wait-and-see attitude.
, look at the competition between Jin, Qin, and Yan, who has the upper hand, and then consider who to surrender to, the Wubi clan is what the three countries are fighting for, there is no need to worry about being annihilated, in troubled times, the survival of the clan is the first, the so-called national justice
, this fashion comes second.
Gao Rou, the prefect, was over forty years old, smart and capable, with a slight frost on his temples. When he learned of Chen Cao's arrival, he went out of the city to greet him personally and went to the county mansion for a banquet. After the conversation, Gao Rou was greatly impressed. Xie Anshi and Huan Fuzi
The young talent that everyone admired was indeed very knowledgeable, and he was particularly good at analyzing the situation between Qin and Yan, which made Gao Rou feel enlightened. Gao Rou asked Chen Caozhi to stay in Yingchuan for a few days to appease the Wubi clan.
After the county official came back, he asked Chen Caozhi to advise him on countermeasures, and said: "Mr. Chen is a descendant of Duke Changwen. When he comes to Yingchuan, he naturally wants to visit his ancestral home. Gao is willing to accompany Mr. Chen there."
The four surnames in Yingchuan are Chen, Xun, Zhong and Yu. The Chen family was originally the most prominent family in Yingchuan, followed by the Xun family. After the Jin Dynasty moved south, the Yu family became the most prominent surname in Yingchuan. The Xun family also declined. Qian, Tang and Chen
The clan has even been reduced to a commoner clan. Although it is now classified as a scholar, it can still only be regarded as a second-class gentry in Jiangdong.
