Hua Xiong originally thought that Dong Zhuo would be furious, but Dong Zhuo was not. He just patted Hua Xiong on the shoulder and walked out. After going out, he walked straight to the school field, where Guan Yu was training his soldiers.
Liu Mastiff and Zhuge Liang rested here for a day before leaving the next day.
When they walked out of the camp, it was Hua Xiong who led them back. For some reason, Hua Xiong's eyes were a little dark. Liu Mastiff and Zhuge Liang didn't ask any more questions. They knew some things well.
At the same time, Liu Mo, who had set out two days earlier than Yuan Shu, was overtaken by Yuan Shu in less than three days. Yuan Shu was born in the army, and such rapid marches were commonplace. Liu Mo was naturally incomparable.
After the two met, Liu Mo also made people speed up, so that he could barely keep up with Yuan Shu. These days, it was really painful for Yuan Shu.
It's not that the journey is far, it's just that Mr. Liu can't keep his mouth shut.
"Yuan Jun, I heard that Yilang and Majun are also in Ningzhou now. The emperor followed his suggestion and decided to open craftsmen in the frontier fortress. This will first be built in the Ningzhou and Fuyu areas. I heard that it is to let
The people of Sushen brought in gifts and remade them with craftsmanship... Ma Yilang was really fearless. Since ancient times, Sushen's tribute has been regarded as one of the emperor's mighty virtues... but Ma Yilang dared to force him like this.
..."
"kindness.."
"These Sushen people are good at making arrows, but they are not good at making arrows in other places. So far, they don't even have a king. The leaders of each tribe still discuss matters..."
"kindness.."
"Besides, I heard that Ma Yilang is planning to build such workshops in the two southwestern countries and the Western Regions..."
"kindness.."
"Oh, by the way, Yuan Jun, do you know about Dongli's fish and shrimp?"
Yuan Shu didn't know how long it took. In short, after driving for a long time, he finally saw the light of day. A large group of people stood on the road and came to greet them. The leader of the group, in appearance,
He was very similar to Yuan Shu, except that he was taller and fatter. When the man saw Yuan Shu coming, his whole body trembled with excitement. He walked out of the crowd and walked quickly towards Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu dismounted, and the man rushed in front of him, stretched out his hand, and hugged Yuan Shu.
"Erlang..."
The person who came to greet him was Yuan Shao, the governor of Youzhou. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had not seen each other for a long time, probably since Yuan Shu went to Liangzhou. But now that they met, Yuan Shao burst into tears of excitement.
, Yuan Shu became much calmer and didn't say much. Yuan Shao took his hand, looked at the many officials behind him, and said proudly: "This is my second brother, Sikong in the court!"
Many officials paid homage to him one after another, which was a courtesy to the three princes.
For some reason, Yuan Shu always felt a little awkward in Yuan Shao's extreme enthusiasm, as if he had some other purpose, and what he did was just to show many officials how much I valued him.
My brother!
Liu Mo then got out of the car, and Yuan Shao was also extremely respectful. He smiled and invited Liu Mo into the city. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao walked together. Yuan Shao started to ask: "You came like this, but for the sake of Xi Ping's benevolent government? My supervisor
Check Youzhou. In Youzhou, the benevolent government is still implemented very well. You can see for yourself. The emperor's benevolent government has made the officials and people of Youzhou happy. I will personally supervise..."
"I also planned to report to the emperor to build a Chi Road in Youzhou to Bingzhou. In the past, Duke Xing came to Youzhou and wanted to build it. However, after he made the plan, he encountered a big disaster and was unable to implement it. Now,
The situation in Youzhou is very good. I just want to rebuild this Chi Road. What do you think? Since you are Sikong now, I need your advice on this construction matter..."
Along the way, Yuan Shao was talking about important events in the country and the affairs of Youzhou.
He had already prepared a banquet in his mansion. The banquet was not too sumptuous but relatively simple. The officials took their seats one after another. Yuan Shao smiled and said: "High road, the officials in Youzhou are honest and don't have much money, so they can only prepare such a banquet."
I'm here to entertain you, I hope you won't be angry..."
Yuan Shu nodded and said nothing more.
Yuan Shao looked at Liu Mo again and said, "I know that Mr. Liu likes fish and shrimp, so I sent someone in advance to bring fish and shrimp from Dongyi..."
"Thank you, thank you Yuan Jun!!" Liu Mo was extremely excited and kept thanking him.
Yuan Shao asked Liu Mo to sit in the chief seat on the grounds that he was older. Liu Mo dared not accept it and quickly gave in. The two argued endlessly. Finally, Liu Mo took the initiative to sit in the second seat. Yuan Shao was helpless. The officials
Everyone praised Yuan Shao and Liu Mo for their concession, and some even almost recited poems about it, which made Yuan Shu frown and feel unhappy.
"The highway... Although you are young, you are the third prince, and your hard work and achievements are great. I can't compare with you, so you can sit on the throne..."
Yuan Shao said with a smile.
"Okay!" Yuan Shu said and sat on the main seat.
What a good brother...Huh?? Everyone was dumbfounded, what is going on, just sitting down like this??
Yuan Shao smiled quickly and said: "I guess you are tired after a hard journey, so just sit down..." He sat next to him again and began to enjoy the food. Everyone started chatting, and Yuan Shao greeted them warmly.
However, he did not neglect the other officials. They were chatting and laughing, and the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves. Of course, except Yuan Shu, who always looked extremely indifferent.
When the officials here looked at Yuan Shu, most of them felt a little unhappy. Look at the two brothers. There is such a big gap. The eldest brother Yuan Shao is a courtesy and corporal. He is respectful and humble. He is a talented person with excellent moral character. This younger brother Yuan Shu
, he is so miserable, arrogant and arrogant, yet he can worship him as the Third Duke and live in front of his elder brother. I don’t know why!
Yuan Shu ignored everyone's looks and only focused on eating and drinking. Liu Mo on the side also did the same. He lowered his head and ate the fish in small bites. He was enjoying it. He squinted his eyes and had endless aftertaste. Yuan Shao saw that they were eating happily and also
He didn't say much until the banquet was over. Liu Mo was sent to the room to rest by the officials in person, while Yuan Shao personally wanted to see Yuan Shu off...
Under the night, the two brothers walked on the path one behind the other. Yuan Shao exhaled a breath, and his whole body seemed to relax a lot, and his shoulders were not as straight as before. He slowed down and walked side by side with Yuan Shu, a little bit.
He said tiredly: "How have you been over the years? Have you been injured? Have you started a family? Why didn't you tell me anything?"
"Even if it's just writing a letter!"
As he was talking, he felt a suffocation, so he pulled open his clothes and said, "This is considered to be the end of all your hardships. However, you have to remember that you can go from the army to Sangong through your brute force, but in the temple, you
I can no longer rely on your brute strength. Just now, why don't you say no? In this way, through the spread of today's scholars, your and my reputation will be better..."
"Eldest brother, it's just a false name, why are you so greedy?"
"Hahaha..." Yuan Shao chuckled, looked at Yuan Shu, shook his head, and said: "You don't understand... I won't say more to you... In the future, you will understand... .”
Yuan Shao said and opened the door.
As soon as the door was opened, a boy rushed over and threw himself into Yuan Shao's arms. Yuan Shao laughed, picked up the little boy, kissed him several times, then turned around, looked at Yuan Shu, and said: " This is your nephew, called Taner..."
Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, then looked at the little guy's eyes gradually softening, and said: "Hey, kid, do you know who I am?"
Yuan Tan shook his head and did not answer. Yuan Shao hugged him and said, "He is your second uncle... If one day, I am gone, he can be your father, do you understand?", said Then, he put Yuan Tan down. Yuan Tan was still a little afraid of this second uncle he had never met before, so he stood behind Yuan Shao, shrinking and not daring to come out.
At this moment, the diaphragm between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu seemed to be completely broken.
The two brothers laughed happily.
.......
From the next day, Yuan Shu began his inspection tour in Youzhou. Of course, in front of outsiders, Yuan Shao still behaved in a manner that disgusted Yuan Shu. However, Yuan Shao still did a very good job in supervising the affairs in Youzhou. Yes, judging from the situation in various counties, relief agencies have appeared in various cities in Youzhou. Comparing their account books, there is no corruption or violation of the law.
This is inseparable from the help of Yuan Shao's powerful deputies. Yuan Shao's reputation among scholars is very good. After he came to Youzhou, a large number of celebrities followed him. As his long history, he can handle these officials on his own. Recruited, and with their help, Yuan Shao was able to make Youzhou's political order clear. Among his deputies, there were even some outstanding talents from the Xun family, the Yang family, and the Sima family.
Yuan Shao's mansion was also called the "backyard of the aristocratic family" by people at the time.
When it came time to check the account books, Liu Mo personally went into battle and reviewed them one by one. Yuan Shu also explored the situation of the local soldiers. Unlike Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao was much more indifferent to these soldiers. However, he still provided the support subsidies that should be given. All were given, and there was no deduction. After reviewing Youzhou, Yuan Shu did not stay long and headed directly towards Sanhan.
Before leaving, Yuan Shao saw him off personally. In addition, he also gave Yuan Shu a letter, asking him to read it when he was alone, and to destroy it after reading it.
Tian Feng, the Prime Minister of the Third Han Dynasty, was completely different from Yuan Shao. Not only did he not greet Yuan Shu and others, he did not even meet with them. He worked hard in the mansion all day. Yuan Shu was not angry and did not go to find him. He was minding his own business. During the inspections within the Three Hans, under the jurisdiction of Tian Feng, the staunch minister, the situation of the entire Three Hans was better than that of Youzhou, and the measures were more complete than those of Youzhou.
The officials were very worried and urged Tian Feng to visit Sikong. Otherwise, if he returns to the temple and speaks ill of you, we will all be punished by the emperor. Tian Feng was not afraid at all and said: "Flattery is the way to deal with political affairs." He is not a disciple." This sentence reached Yuan Shu's ears. Yuan Shu was very happy and said to his left and right: "I didn't know that I was far away in Sanhan, but now I know."
After passing Sanhan, we came to Dongyi.
From a distance, I saw Liu Bei leading four or five people, standing on the road waiting.
Yuan Shu saw Liu Mo next to him. After Liu Mo saw Liu Bei, Liu Mo became a little excited and smiled. Besides, this was still Dongyi. He and Liu Bei had not seen each other for nearly a year. He also had a lot to say in his heart... Yuan Shu could probably
Thinking of Liu Mo's mood, he acted a little panicked, "No, this Dong Hao must not stay for a long time!"
When Liu Bei saw them, he bowed to them. Liu Mo quickly stepped forward and helped him up.
"Get ready to meet Yuan Sikong!"
"Meet Liu Yushi!"
Yuan Shu nodded and said: "I am far away in Luoyang, and I often hear about your reputation. I heard that you are a benevolent and righteous gentleman. The subjects of Dongyi love you very much. In less than ten years of governing Dongyi, you have made this place a great place.
It's peaceful, the people are prosperous, and I can trust you, so I won't check any more, and will let Mr. Liu do an interrogation at your place. I'll go to Shanggao County first, and I'll stay here soon."
Liu Bei was overjoyed at first, and then said: "Mr. Yuan has come all the way. Please stay here for a day in order to fulfill your friendship as a landlord..."
Liu Mo also nodded and said: "Yes, Yuan Jun, you'd better stay a few more days. The fish and shrimp here are very beautiful. You haven't tasted them yet. I can catch some for you myself. My skills are great."
That’s great, let’s eat well for a few days before we go to Shanggao County... We have a big fish with dragon beards here, which is the most delicious thing in the world, but that’s it..."
"No, no, everything is busy, Your Majesty is still waiting for my report... That's all it's decided... Liu Gong, you can stay here for a few more days, don't be in a hurry... don't be in a hurry...
.”
Liu Mo sighed helplessly: "Oh, I'm not so lucky..."
