The left guardian Sun Shangxiang recruited civil and military officials in Guanzhong to discuss matters. The Grand Governor of Anxi Lu Su, military advisor Jia Xu, and Xun Yu, the counselor who was responsible for the implementation of the new policy in Guanzhong attended the meeting, and sat in front of the prefects of Jingzhao, Fengyi and Fufeng counties.

In fact, he is the leader of Guanzhong civil servants, but he just has no official title.

The prefects of the three counties respect Xun Yu, and the wealthy families in Guanzhong also cooperated with his work. The new policy was implemented smoothly and had been basically completed.

Of course, bargaining behind the scenes is inevitable, and Xun Yu has also put in a lot of effort for this. Fortunately, there is the left Protectorate Mansion and the army of Anxi Duwei Mansion, and the Sizhou Governor Man Chong is notorious, so no one dares to risk the danger of overthrowing his family and truly break up with Xun Yu.

In short, what Xun Yu did not do when he was the Minister of the Han Dynasty, but today he did it.

At the beginning of the meeting, Yang Xiu, the special envoy of the emperor and the chief clerk of the army, conveyed the emperor's edict.

The edict was divided into two parts: one was to be satisfied with the progress of the implementation of the new policy in Guanzhong, and issued an edict to commend relevant personnel headed by Xun Yu and the prefect of the three counties; the other was to announce the order to attack Hanzhong after the autumn, requiring the counties in Guanzhong to be prepared.

After announcing the edict, Sun Shangxiang first asked Xun Yu to speak.

Xun Yu was not polite and introduced the situation in Guanzhong. Although his words were calm, he could not hide his gratitude.

After two years of hard work, the implementation of the new policy was basically in place, accumulating a trace of vitality for Guanzhong and allowing the people to see hope for survival. Especially the people who moved from Liangzhou, they not only formally settled their households in Guanzhong, but also exempted from the corvee service for generations. They had a good impression of the new Dawu regime and became more close to the strict Wu army.

They knew that the reason why the Guanzhong tribe was so easy to talk was because the Wu army was in charge. These soldiers from Guandong were disciplined and not only did not disturb the people, but also often helped them work. They worked tirelessly in disaster relief, rushed to the forefront, and were worthy of the title of soldiers.

Although they were not from Kanto, they also regarded these young people who were full of energy and even proud as their own children. As the left vassal Sun Shangxiang issued a conscription order, a group of young children became the new soldiers of the Great Wu through strict choices. The title of soldiers was further implemented, and the call was extremely natural and friendly.

After introducing the situation to Sun Shangxiang, Xun Yu took the opportunity to warn. Although Guanzhong has recovered some vitality and is still quite far from being rich, the gap in household registration is still very large and cannot support a long-term war. Otherwise, the situation that has just stabilized is likely to deteriorate again, and all previous efforts will be wasted.

Sun Shangxiang asked Xun Yu, with the current population and materials of Guanzhong, how long can it take to support the 50,000 army to fight?

Xun Yu carefully calculated for a long time and gave an answer: If you start from the autumn harvest, it is best to solve it within three months, and it cannot exceed one year at the latest. During spring sowing, you can appropriately extend the time, but the autumn harvest cannot be delayed. If the people collected before the autumn harvest next year cannot go home, a large amount of grain may be rotten in the ground due to a storm, and there will inevitably be a gap in the grain supply.

The weather in Guanzhong has not been normal in recent years, with floods and droughts continuously, and even hail in summer. If scholars had not gradually given up the theory of disasters and strangeness, and the Guanzhong garrison rescued disasters in time, and the court reduced and exempted rents and taxes many times, Guanzhong would not have had the same stability as today.

Sun Shangxiang nodded and expressed her gratitude to Xun Yu.

Afterwards, Sun Shangxiang asked the relevant personnel one by one to determine the troops, transportation capacity and materials could be in place in time. Finally, Lu Xun conducted a basic strategy statement on the battle in Guanzhong after the autumn. After listening to Lu Xun's plan, many people breathed a sigh of relief, and even Xun Yu's worries were relieved.

The biggest difference between the Wu army and the previous army is that although they are small in number, they are regular soldiers. They do not work in farming during their service and concentrate on training. Therefore, whether they are stationed in Guanzhong or going to Hanzhong, they have little impact on the local area. The biggest impact is the consumption generated by material transportation. The recruitment of civil servants is mainly to solve the problem of insufficient labor and will not be collected for a long time. After the road is repaired and the relevant materials are transported in place, as long as there is no major accident, most civil servants can go home to farm.

This major accident refers to severe damage, severe shortage of soldiers or materials, and the inability to complete the established combat mission. Soldiers must be recruited again to replenish materials before continuing to fight. Whether it is because of natural disasters or man-made disasters, once such an accident occurs, the first choice of the army will be to withdraw from Guanzhong instead of continuing to fight.

The reason for saying this is to show to civil officials such as Xun Yu that the battle is planned and has a bottom line, and it will never evolve into a military force and will not endanger the development of Guanzhong.

This was the case in the past, this is the case now, and it will be even more so in the future.

When Lu Xun said this, he slowed down and his tone was aggravated.

Lu Su and Jia Xu looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

After the meeting, Sun Shangxiang asked Lu Su and Jia Xu to stay and discuss the specific war after the autumn.

Yang Xiu and Xun Yu also attended the meeting.

Lu Su's expression was relaxed. The recent series of arrangements, especially Lu Xun's words today, dispelled his concerns.

He is the Grand Governor of Anxi, and he is responsible for all the wars in the West. The left magistrate Sun Shangxiang moved to Guanzhong and had the possibility of being fully responsible for the military affairs of Guanxi. It has formed a coincidence with his jurisdiction. It is a matter of time before the conflict has occurred. Although there has been no unpleasant incidents between the two sides over the past year, it is unrealistic to say that he is not worried at all. If he had not trusted the emperor and Sun Shangxiang was young, the conflict might have intensified.

The emperor's special envoy Yang Xiu came to Guanzhong and only met Sun Shangxiang, but he had not met him, the Grand Governor of Anxi, for a long time, which made him a little worried. Who is responsible for the war in Hanzhong? This not only concerns him personally, but also the future of his generals.

Now he can rest assured that Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, and Wuqiu Xing came out of Liangzhou, and his Anxi governor's schedule to leave Longguan is also fast. Sun Shangxiang is responsible for the war in Hanzhong, and it is impossible to advance west in a short period of time. They have a distance, and there are fewer overlaps, and the possibility of direct conflict is also smaller. He may have to listen to Sun Shangxiang's control, but he has considerable autonomy.

Even the relationship of moderation does not exist.

The five major governors' offices were originally controlled by the emperor.

Yang Xiu conveyed another edict: During Sun Shangxiang's expedition to Hanzhong, Lu Su was in charge of Guanzhong and made preparations for advancing westward. Once Yizhou was pacified, Lu Su would leave Longguan and take charge of Liangzhou. The emperor had a preliminary plan, roughly five years as a stage, Lu Su gradually advanced westward and restored its full control east of the Pamir Mountains within 20 years. After that, Sun Shangxiang, the left guard, took over and crossed the Pamir Mountains.

Lu Su is 33 years old this year, and Sun Shangxiang is 17 years old. Twenty years later, Lu Su is 53, almost able to resign from his position as the governor and return to the court to serve. Sun Shangxiang is 37, when he is at his best experience and physical strength, he has accumulated enough prestige, and with Lu Xun's assistance, he can fully bear the heavy responsibility of external conquests.

With this edict, Lu Su can feel completely relieved.

Taking advantage of Lu Su's good mood, Sun Shangxiang proposed to ask Lu Su to inspect Longyou, especially Wudu, as the Grand Governor of Anxi, to prepare for the expedition after the autumn. In the planned combat plan, marching from Wudu to Hanzhong is an indispensable part, and most of Wudu is still under the control of the Shu army.

Lu Su happily obeyed.

Liangzhou was originally his jurisdiction, and he had no choice but to do so.

After the meeting, Sun Shangxiang hosted a meal. Although there were no delicacies, it was quite exquisite. The portion was not large and it was very suitable for middle-aged and elderly scholars like Xun Yu and Jia Xu.

As for Lu Su, who was in his prime, he probably had to make up for a meal when he went back.

After dinner, Lu Su said goodbye to Jia Xu. Yang Xiu sent Xun Yu and walked all the way to Xun Yu's house.

Xun Yu lived in the small courtyard sent by Zhong Yao back then. Except for the broken glass and a few pieces, the others had not changed. The place was not big, but it was very comfortable. Mrs. Tang also came back, wearing a summer clothes in Yue cloth, and was carrying two maids to wash the courtyard with well water. When she saw Yang Xiu coming to the door, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

Yang Xiuyang Yangyang had the tea bag in his hand. "I'd like to boil some water for this year's spring tea, and the clouds and mist of Mount Lu."

Mrs. Tang covered her mouth and smiled, took the tea, turned around and ordered the maid to boil water.

Xun Yu and Yang Xiu went to the hall and came to the study room. The big case in the study room was still there, with a few stacks of books and some papers neatly piled up on the table. There were a row of ancient shelves along the wall, with some books on it, and more of them were bricks and tiles, washed clean without any dust.

"What is this?" Yang Xiu leaned over and took a look.

"Some old things." Xun Yu said lightly: "I picked it up from the abandoned site of Weiyang Palace."

Yang Xiu picked up a tile and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw the word Weiyang and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and laughed. "I was sad that the place where the Qin and Han dynasties traveled, the palaces were filled with soil. Do you often feel sad when you see things and think of people?"

Seeing Yang Xiu chatting and laughing, he didn't see any emotion, but only a teasing voice, Xun Yu smiled.

He and Yang Xiu were both born in the Rabbit, but they were just a little different from each other, twelve years old. He was born into a powerful Yingchuan, served as an official in the Han Dynasty, and was also an important official close to the emperor. Although Yang Xiu was born into three generations of four generations, he did not have an official in the Han Dynasty. He was a minister of the Wu Kingdom from the beginning.

The two naturally had different feelings for the Han Dynasty.

"Yes, from this point of view, Your Majesty sets an example and practices rigorously, and is truly learning from history."

Yang Xiu turned to look at Xun Yu. "Xun Wenruo, you have something to say. Could it be that Your Majesty learns from history?"

Xun Yu smiled without saying a word, and reached out to signal Yang Xiu to take his seat. The two of them glanced at the document next to him and asked Xun Yu with their eyes. Xun Yu took the initiative to push the document to Yang Xiu. "I'm asking you, a talented man. If you can help me polish it, that would be even better."

Yang Xiu expanded the text and looked at ten lines at a glance. After a while, he read a few pages, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

This is a private history that records the late Han Dynasty. It starts with the disaster of the Party and Prison. It begins with the biography of the three kings Chen Fan, Dou Wu and Liu Shu. It is written until the founding of the Wu Kingdom, the emperor ascended the throne, and many old ministers of the Han Dynasty attended the meeting and witnessed the birth of the new dynasty.

Yang Xiu put down the document, smiling but not saying a word.

"Can you still see it?" Xun Yu asked slowly.

"It can not only look, but also look good." Yang Xiu raised his eyelids and laughed out loud. "If you get angry, it will look even better."

"I'm so angry? Isn't it?"

Yang Xiu didn't say anything. Mrs. Tang came in with her maid and served the brewed tea. Yang Xiu was surprised. Mrs. Tang boiled water too quickly. Mrs. Tang explained that Xun Yu had the habit of drinking tea, and was anxious, so she had to drink it as soon as she sat down, so she developed the habit of only half a pot for the first time, and it would be boiled quickly. Xun Yu had to drink it first and then a large pot for later use.

Yang Xiu praised: "In my opinion, the wife is more worthy of the word Wang Zuo than Wenruo."

Mrs. Tang's eyes flashed slightly. Although there were light crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, her eyes were still lively. Seeing the papers on the case, she smiled knowingly and put them away. "It's all idle. She is obviously not a good historical talent, but she insists on learning from others. Fortunately, the chief clerk is the best friend, otherwise it will be spread and I don't know how to be laughed at."

"Mrs. I really remember a joke, which is related to Zhao Jijiu. I wonder if Wen Ruo has heard of it."

"Zhao Bingqing?" Xun Yu also became interested.

Yang Xiu nodded. "Wenruo, ask you something, what about Zhao Bingqing and Lu Boyan's personal relationship?"

Xun Yu thought about it carefully and couldn't help but be surprised. After Sun Shangxiang entered Guanzhong, he was also very concerned about other affairs in addition to military affairs, and education was one of them. When Guanzhong Academy was completed, Sun Shangxiang also went to see him. Logically speaking, Zhao Qi had many opportunities to meet Lu Xun, and with his friendship with Lu Xun's grandfather Lu Kang, he should have close contacts.

But he had never heard of Zhao Qi and Lu Xun having a personal relationship.

"Did they have a holiday?"

"It's not a question of holidays. That is, when Zhao Jijiu went to Guandong, he sat down with the plan, and Bo Yan was responsible for recording and wrote more words." Yang Xiu thought about it and became more funny. Finally, he couldn't help laughing out loud, almost choking. He shook his hand. "I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore, I won't talk about the people behind my back. If you are interested, you should ask Zhao Jijiu himself."

Seeing that Yang Xiu looked strange, Xun Yu probably had nothing good to do, so he didn't ask. The two of them talked for a while and returned to the current situation. After making some preparations, Xun Yu pretended to ask casually: "Ancestor De, I have something unknown. Can you solve my doubts for me?"

"What's up?"

"I heard that Jiang Ziyi was in Dangqu, and Xin Zhongzhi went to His Majesty's camp for a while. It's not a short time. Why hasn't the negotiation been completed? Is it the intention of a big battle now? Could it be that Cao Mengde and his son are insatiable and unwilling to surrender?"
