May 30th.

Chen Fei, who was about to enter June, received a report from Zhu Jun and immediately announced it to the public.

The first Xun You who read the battle report immediately conveyed military information to other colleagues:

"Zhu Gongwei is indeed a famous general in the world! Not only did he stop Yuan Shu's several breakthroughs, but he also defeated Yuan Yin and Qiao Rui's reinforcements, killing more than 10,000 enemies. Yuan's army was frightened. As for Wu Jing and Sun Ce, they have never sent troops across the river so far, and they obviously have deviants. In this way, it seems that it is only a matter of time before Yuan Shu will die."

Xu Shao, Xu Jing, Yuan Hui, Guo Peng, Hua Tuo, Yuan Min, Xu Shu, Yang Zhi and others all showed joy and exclaimed:

"Zhu Cavalry surrounded the enemy and attacked the enemy, and was well versed in the magic of military strategy!"

"Yuan Gonglu's army was completely lost, and there was no foreign aid to rely on. The overturn was only between morning and evening!"

"I didn't expect that the legitimate son of Yuan, the fourth generation and third generation, would have fallen to this point!"

"The Lord and Hou have seen through Yuan Shu's weakness, and then they have attacked him with great strength, which is really far-sighted!"

"Our army is an elite army in a hundred battles, and it is also famous as the right general. How can the dry bones in Yuan Shu's tomb be worth a blow?"

The more everyone said it, it became more and more outrageous. Zhu Jun's troops were recruited for less than a year. Huang Shao and Liu Pi were even surrendered by the Yellow Turbans. When they came to their mouths, they became "elites in a hundred battles". Yuan Shu, who was truly fighting in the south and north, lost in a hundred battles, and lost in a hundred battles, became "vulnerable". If Yuan Shu heard it, he would definitely be angry to death.

Among the many praises, a cold voice was particularly harsh:

"If I remember correctly, when Zhu Gongwei personally came to Yangxia to ask for the dispatch of troops at the beginning of the month, you would definitely not say this."

“…”

The meeting hall suddenly became particularly quiet.

A quiet needle can be clearly distinguished by a heavy breath.

Dozens of gazes were searching around, trying to find the inappropriate voice.

Accompanied by a shaking sound of clothes, someone rose up and came out from behind, immediately becoming the focus of the spotlight:

"You don't have to doubt it, it's Zhu Ling."

Of course, Chen Fei would not not know him. It was Zhu Ling, whom Xu Shao had just recommended him a month ago.

Among Xu Shao's recommendations, although this person was born and only served as a minor official in Runan, he had strong moral integrity and was unwilling to be subordinate to the county magistrate, so he was demoted. Chen Fei praised his integrity and let him become a staff member and serve as a two hundred stone assistant.

Unexpectedly, after only one month of taking office, this honest and honest official dared to fire an "indiscriminate map cannon" in front of everyone!

Even a person like Xun You was feeling a little uncomfortable after hearing his sarcasm.

Xu Shao's face turned pale. After all... Zhu Ling was the one he strongly recommended. If he was angry with the public, as the recommender, he would definitely be implicated!

Zhu Ling was about to speak, but heard Chen Fei laughing:

"Bo Yu said very much. The reason why I want to put you on the left is to use your righteousness to persuade the political style. Today, I see that Xu Zi will indeed have the wisdom to know people, and this marquis has not used the wrong person!"

He brimmed his high-five:

"The person who came here gave Zhu Boyu a reward of 10,000 yuan and ten pieces of cloth to strengthen his fortune!"

Zhu Ling's expression turned from shock to joy, and he quickly knelt down and saluted, saying loudly:

"Zhu Ling thanks you!"

-

Zhu Ling's sneer was not a big deal, but real accidents came one after another.

Before the conference was completed, three urgent reports from Runan had been submitted to Chen Fei:

"The officials and people of Gebi, Fupi and Xinxi counties either attack or kill or expel officials, and openly cause rebellion! I beg the right general to send troops to quell the chaos!"

Yuan Min, who had just taken office, patted his chest:

"Fortunately, the land taxes in these three counties have been transferred to Ruyin Dacang, otherwise at least 200,000 stones of grain would be lost."

Seeing that he only cared about agriculture, Chen Fei smiled at it:

"There are probably no less than 30,000 rebellions in the three counties, and the elite must not be suppressed. And all the soldiers who can fight in Runan have gone south to Yangzhou, and they cannot return to help in a hurry. Do you have any suggestions?"

Xun You's first speech:

"Runan County Magistrate Liang Ziyue has always been familiar with military affairs, so he can ask him to recruit soldiers on the spot to curb the riots' traversing all directions. The king and marquis went south to rescue with elite troops, and the rebellion in the three counties can be resolved."

Most of the others don’t understand military affairs, so they just frowned and pondered. In addition, Zhu Ling had just sneered once, so he didn’t dare to express his opinions casually.

But Xu Shao still spoke:

"The Yuan family comes from Runan, and his disciples and former officials are everywhere in counties. The three counties suddenly cause chaos, which is not without the intention of cooperating with Yuan Shu. If this is true, the rebellion must be quickly and decisive. Otherwise, once the food and grass are delayed, 40,000 troops including Zhu Piqi and Cavalry will inevitably fall into danger!"

Chen Fei nodded:

"Mr. Zi Jiang's consideration is also reasonable. Yang Xia now only has 3,000 people in Flying Tiger Camp and 2,500 people in Xu Huang's army (Xu Huang himself has gone to Sanfu), and most of the troops of Chen State were taken away by Luo Jun. Together, these three parts are full of plans... only 7,000 or 8,000 people, and it is probably enough to defeat the enemy and suppress the rebellion."

Xun You hurriedly advised:

"Your Majesty, no, if all these soldiers and horses go to quell the rebellion, how can Yangxia and Chen State guard?"

Xu Jing also said:

"Yuan Shu is a man who is just a little bit strange. He has been roaming the world since he was a child and likes to raise dead soldiers. If he is desperate, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

Chen Fei suddenly recalled that he had been assassinated by Yuan Shu before, but thanks to the system's body protection, he realized Zhang Kai's true identity on the spot and did not become Zhang Kai's spoils like Cao Song.

He thought for a while and finally made a decision:

"The rebellion of Runan should not be underestimated. You must immediately send elite troops to pacify. Justice, you will leave the five hundred cavalry of Huang Zhong's headquarters, and then lead the remaining two thousand five hundred cavalry, and then take three thousand infantry from Chen State to Runan to suppress the rebellion."

Leaving five hundred cavalry and two thousand five hundred squadrons should be enough to guard the small Yangxia City.

Yang Zhi immediately took the order and listened to his instructions:

"After entering Runan, don't suppress the bandits alone. Keep in touch with the Runan County Chief Liang Ziyue at all times, and focus on killing the heads of the chaos army. Those who follow the chaos can be dealt with lighter. Just remember that the chaos army must not cut off Zhu Gongwei's food route."

Yang Zhi bowed to his promise, took the formal military order from Guo Shou, bowed to Chen Fei, and then left quickly.

After giving another order to Liang Feng, Chen Fei felt a little relieved:

"I claim to be a benevolent political management of counties. Whether it is Gebi, Fubi, or Xinxi, I have never levyed heavy taxes. Instead, because they are close to the front line, they have also reduced a lot of taxes. However, these people still follow the former officials of the Yuan family to cause trouble. Is this the influence of the three ministers of the four generations?"

As a military officer, Xu Shu said quietly:

"Mr., ordinary Guizhou leaders... don't know what kind of benevolent politics is!"

-

Two hundred miles away from Yangxia, Runan County and Ruyang County.

A black shadow just entered the Yuan family’s former residence.

Yuan Zhong, who lives alone in a small courtyard, welcomes a strange guest:

"Mr. Zhengfu, I ordered my brother, Duke Lu, to work under Yang Hong..."

Yang Hong just reported to his house, but was interrupted by Yuan Zhong:

"I have never had any contact with Yuan Gaolu. If you are a lobbyist for him, please return to Huainan immediately!"

Yang Hong is not in a hurry:

"Mr. Zhengfu is a gentleman of the age. How could he have the etiquette of opening the door to expel guests? To be honest, General Yuan was fighting fiercely with Chen Yunlong on both sides of the Huai River. The war was extremely fierce, and neither side could gain the upper hand. However, the counties in Runan were suffering from the inconscion of the Chen family and all rose up. Chen Yunlong's rear was empty and there was no remaining strength to divide the troops to pacify. If Zhengfu Gong could respond to the general in the former place of Yuan, the Central Plains rebel army would inevitably gather and respond. The Chen family's soldiers and horses were defeated without fighting! This matter is related to the fortune of the Yuan family. Please think twice!"

After hearing him, Yuan Zhong smiled contemptuously:

"I really think that if I work hard here, I don't know the general trend of the world?"

Yang Hong was stunned, but saw Yuan Zhong picking up a bamboo slip on the table:

"My brother was ordered in Ruyin, and Zhu Gongwei needed food, grass and supplies, and he was responsible for it! How could I not know... Yuan Gonglu had been besieged for more than ten days, and both reinforcements were defeated?!"

Yang Hong's face suddenly turned as if dead, and could only sigh to the sky.

He had been infiltrating Runan for half a month and had already cut off contact with Yuan Shu. There was no way to know the news that Qiao Rui and Yuan Yin were defeated, but... there was no possibility of fraud at all!

Looking at his distraught appearance, Yuan Zhong shook his head:

"If you want to return to Shouchun, you might as well tell Yuan Gaolu, just say... If he still remembers that he is the descendant of Yuan's family, it would be better to abandon the city and surrender earlier, and perhaps he can still save his family and grandchildren."

Yang Hong had nothing to say, so he could only bow and leave.

He successfully incited the rebellion of the three counties. He had tried his best. He could not learn from Zhang Kai. He sneaked into Yangxia to assassinate Chen Fei, right?

Note:

Zhu Ling Biography: Zhu Ling, whose courtesy name is Boyu, was from Pingyu, Runan. He was poor and talented, and was a county clerk. At that time, Fan Pang, a famous scholar in Runan, heard of his name. Zong Zi, asked to be a meritorious minister, and appointed a government official. Pang was in office, strictly regulated his evil deeds, recommended other qualities, and eliminated the misfortune. Pang's nephew Li Song, a descendant of the duke clan, was abandoned by the village Qu. The general servant Tang Heng asked Song Zi to be an official. Pang was not the person, so he sleeped but did not summon him. Zi was angry and beat Ling. Ling Yang said, "Fan Pang was still decayed with sharp blades. Today he would rather be beaten to death, but Pang would not violate it." Zi stopped, but he was not allowed to use it in the end.
