"Shen Lang Qian", a small and inconspicuous currency, was not widely distributed at that time, and was only limited to the counties and counties around Wuxing.
It left traces on Qian Pu and later became famous. In addition to being famous for its smallness, it also has a lot to do with the fact that famous poets of later generations repeatedly sang it in a mocking tone.
For example, Wang Jian of the Tang Dynasty wrote "Sunai flowers are blooming in the west, green elm branches are scattered and sinking money", Li Shangyin's "Today's spring light is too wandering, Xie Jia's light catkins are sinking money", Li He's "Elm pods are urging each other, and I can't count them. "Shen Langqing's Qian Jiacheng Road" all ridiculed the frivolous quality of "Shen Langqing's money".
However, Shen Chong's subsequent words quickly diverted Liu Yu's attention from here.
Shen Chong smiled and said to Liu Yu.
"General, my envoy has been ordered by King Langya to escort Cai Bao, the prefect of Linhuai, to Xu County. I wonder if General can let him go?"
When Liu Yu heard this, he said without thinking.
"King Langya? Isn't Sima Rui guarding Jiangdong? Why is it his turn to intervene in Xuzhou's affairs again?"
"His Royal Highness King Langya has accepted the orders and is the leader of the world. It is already known to everyone. Why should the general embarrass the junior general?" Shen Chong said seriously.
However, when Liu Yu heard this, he knew that Shen Chong was trying to advance before retreating. How could he make concessions if he didn't raise the bottom line first?
It seems that Wang Dun on the other side is probably bluffing, and it shouldn't be a problem to make him retreat across the Huai River.
At this time, Liu Yu was not only surrounded by the generals of the Qingzhou Army, but also Liu Hun, He Heng and other Xuzhou governor generals, Hao Qiang and others. These people were all watching Liu Yu and Shen Chong. Since Liu Yu He had already guessed Wang Dun and Shen Chong's intentions in advance, so he simply took advantage of this opportunity to establish his authority in front of these people. Many of them also had illusions about Jiangdong Group.
"Shen Shenjun, this statement is ridiculous. Now that the crown prince has been established, when the capital is in ruins, the prince of the country can naturally supervise the country, and there is no such thing as the turn of the so-called leader of the alliance."
When he talked about this, Liu Yu felt a little unhappy.
Sikong Xunfan and others who established the Xingtai in Mi County of Sizhou wanted to support Xunfan's nephew Sima Ye as the crown prince. However, when they learned that Liu Yu had supported Sima Duan as the crown prince, they elected Sima King of Langya. Rui is the so-called "leader" to show his appeal.
Therefore, when Shen Chong mentioned Sima Rui's so-called "alliance leader", Liu Yu thought of the two-sided balancing act played by Xun Fan and others.
"Furthermore, when the barbarians were raging in Xuzhou, Sima Rui didn't send a single soldier to rescue him. When Pengcheng almost fell, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians didn't hear any reinforcements from Jiangdong. Why did Sima Rui come back after I expelled the barbarians? Who like Cai Bao was sent to serve as the chief official of Linhuai County!?"
Liu Yu's words were spoken in a stern tone, and every sentence was directly against Sima Rui.
After Shen Chong heard this, he also felt that he was in the wrong, but he was serving Wang Dun, not King Langya, and he still knew the difference.
Now, as long as he can stop his troops with dignity, without losing the bad reputation of being afraid of the "Qingzhou bandits", and without offending Liu Yu, who threatens the Guangling County he just won, this is enough.
"General, this kind of temple affairs is not something that a humble person like me can hear about."
Shen Chong didn't want to argue about this issue anymore, because the fight was all about the reputation of Langya King Sima Rui. This shabby settlement that crossed the Yangtze River was not worth a lot of money in Shen Chong's eyes. If it weren't for Langya County With Wang's support, local tycoons like Shen Chong from Jiangdong would not take Sima Rui seriously.
After entering Liu Yu's army, the Qingzhou soldiers that Shen Chong saw everywhere were obviously elite armored soldiers, and he also saw a lot of cavalry in the army. Now in the Huaibei area, these cavalry are all large. There is a place for them to be useful. If there is a fight, even if Wang Dun's troops have a numerical advantage, they may not be able to take advantage.
Therefore, the offending tone was said in the name of Sima Rui, and the good words were said in the name of Wang Dun.
"Wang Shijun is a well-known person from a high family. He has heard about the great general's reputation for a long time. The so-called mutual sympathy is nothing more than this."
Shen Chong continued, "So, this time Linhuai Governor Cai Bao went to Xu County, he was just following orders. I hope the general will not be surprised."
When Liu Yu heard what Shen Chong said, he also sneered.
In Shen Chong's words, Wang Dun became the unsuspecting executor, throwing all the blame to Langya King Sima Rui.
And Liu Yu just learned from a group of Xuzhou generals that according to their speculation, Wang Dun must have been seduced by the collusion of Linhuai County's powerful forces this time, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to occupy the Linhuai area and cause the established fact. , which made Liu Yu worry about his reputation and not dare to use force easily.
It's just that Liu Yu led his troops too quickly this time, which made Wang Dun, who arrived together, realize that these "Qingzhou thieves" were not so reasonable, so he had to compromise again.
"In this case, then quickly retreat across the Huaihe River and let the so-called Linhuai Governor Cai Bao go back to Jiangdong. I have already chosen the Linhuai Governor. Naturally, the county magistrates in Xuzhou will People from Xuzhou will be in charge."
As Liu Yu spoke, he glanced at the powerful Xuzhou officials and generals next to him.
When these people heard Liu Yu's words and saw Liu Yu's eyes, they all straightened their chests, as if they had seen the glorious moment of their high position as county governor in his eyes.
"General, having said that, if this is really the case, it will be really difficult for Wang Shijun to return to Jiangdong to resume his life."
"What's more, most of Linhuai County is located south of the Huai River. It is crisscrossed by waterways. Bandits gather there. Without people from Jiangdong who are familiar with water warfare, it would be difficult to eliminate them. Even under the general, in my opinion, it will be difficult to eliminate them. Most of them are cavalry and infantry, so they are unlikely to be able to handle this water battle."
"Furthermore, the world is in chaos and the two capitals have fallen into one. The general is a hero of the world. He must have the ambition to help the world. How can he waste the energy of the general in the small place of Linhuai?"
When Liu Yu heard what Shen Chong said, he guessed that the preparations should have been done to this extent.
"In that case, what does Shen Canjun mean, or what does Wang Dun mean?" Liu Yu asked calmly.
Shen Chong looked straight and said.
"With the Huai River as the boundary, the general appointed state and county magistrates to supervise the north of the Huai River, and Andong Prefecture officials to supervise the south of the Huai River."
"Cai Bao, the governor of Linhuai, is still in office, but he will be stationed in Xuyi. If the general is appointed as the governor of Linhuai County, he can be stationed in Xu County and oversee the affairs of Huaibei. I wonder what the general thinks?"
After Shen Chong finished speaking, he looked at Liu Yu indifferently.
But the look on Liu Yu's face was calm, which made Shen Chong a little nervous. He was afraid that he had done so much foreshadowing, but Liu Yu still refused to give up.
If he really met Wang Dun's swordsman, Shen Chong would make a fool of himself.
"Okay, what Shen Canjun said is also prudent."
Liu thought about it for a while and finally said.
After hearing this, Shen Chong's expression remained unchanged, but he was greatly relieved.
"However, I know that this time, Wang, oh, Cai Bao, who went to Xu County, must have been seduced by the evil tyrants of Linhuai County to support them against Xingtai's order."
As soon as Liu Yu said this, Shen Chong had already guessed what he was going to do. Sure enough, what Liu Yu said next was completely in line with Shen Chong's guess.
"Who are these villains in Linhuai County? Leave them all in my hands. From now on, Wang Shijun and I will be in harmony as before!"
Liu Yu expected that when he came to Huaibei this time, he had originally established his power with swords and guns. Now, most of the Linhuai tycoons who lured Wang Dun to support him were those who instigated and threatened the refugees. Now that he had this kind of handle, Liu Yu could deal with it. It seemed that they were even more handy.
Shen Chong, a powerful man from Jiangdong Wuxing, certainly didn't care about these so-called powerful people in Linhuai County, and immediately "sold" the names of these powerful people to Liu Yu.
After Liu Yu satisfactorily noted down these powerful men who were about to be in bad luck, he made an agreement with Shen Chong that Wang Dun would withdraw south and cross the Huaihe River today. As for Cai Bao, the prefect of Linhuai County appointed by Langya King Sima Rui, he could still However, it can only be stationed in Xuyi and governs half of Linhuai County south of Huaihe River. Linhuai County in the north of Huaihe River has nothing to do with it.
Shen Chong then left with satisfaction. When he returned to Wang Dun's army and told Wang Dun the result, he fully expected Wang Dun to praise him happily, but he did not expect that Wang Dun's performance was completely beyond his expectation.
"Hmph, it's such a pity that I and Liu Yu, like Liu Yu, crossed the Huaihe River to treat it."
Wang Dun's tone was filled with reluctance.
When Shen Chong heard this, he immediately felt a little annoyed. If it was such a pity, why should I talk about it? !
"However, since the matter has come to this, Shiju, you can be regarded as a credit. You only have half of Linhuai, so let's take half."
Wang Dun seemed to also see the change in Shen Chong's expression, and turned to cover it up.
"Shen was just following orders, and you should not be praised for your efforts."
The expression on Shen Chong's face flashed over, and he soon returned to his usual appearance.
However, all this was seen by Cai Bao, the governor of Linhuai next to him. He sneered in his heart and had other plans.
When everything in Wang Dun's army was sorted out, he began to withdraw his troops to the south.
Shen Chong and his son Shen Jin, father and son, walked side by side.
"Father, I have heard that this time my father went to Liu Yu's army to make peace with the two armies, which is a credit. Why is my father so depressed now?"
Shen Jin knew that these sergeants under Wang Dun, the governor of Yangzhou, had just put down the Qian Chuan rebellion in Guangling and had long wanted to return to Jiangdong. By avoiding the battle this time, they were in compliance with their military morale.
"Hmph, Wang Dun is indeed extremely hypocritical."
Shen Chong snorted coldly, and then told his son Shen Jin what he had just experienced.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Shen Jin was also very dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, you are cautious and hesitant when things are urgent. Now that the matter is over, you are concerned about his reputation. How can you do this again and again?"
After hearing this, Shen Chong sighed softly and said.
"Wang Dun is a man who cherishes his life and reputation, but he is also greedy and stubborn. He is afraid that he will cause us trouble in the future."
=··=·=·=·
Just after Wang Dun led his army across the Huaihe River, Liu Yu immediately led his soldiers to kill all the powerful Linhuai counties that Shen Chong had "betrayed" to him with lightning speed.
These Wubao powerful forces in Huaibei have suffered relatively little from the war, and the combat effectiveness of each powerful group cannot compare with those in Jizhou and Yuzhou.
In just a few days, all the powerful families in Huaibei who dared to oppose Liu Yu suffered a blow that destroyed their families and annihilated their families.
Not only were their own land, population, tribes, etc. confiscated by Liu Yu, but more importantly, the refugee dock owners who relied on these powerful forces were also fully accepted by Liu Yu and his army.
As a result, the powerful and homeless owners in Huaibei were all frightened by Liu Yu's thunderous methods. They came in person and cried out to send their clan members to lead horses and whips for the general. Even though it was not his turn to lead the horse and hold the whip, he was still willing to brush and feed the general's horse from behind.
This saved Liu Yu a lot of trouble. He was originally thinking about how to get these Huaibei powerful men to send hostages, but he didn't expect that after a bloody storm, killing chickens to scare monkeys would be so effective.
Not only did these powerful dock owners obediently and consciously send their children as hostages, but Liu Yu had already seen that the hostages sent by these powerful dock owners were not simply hostages, but more like they were sending followers to follow Liu Yu. .
Because these so-called "hostages" who came to Liu Yu's army were all young talents with big shoulders and round waists. Many of them even brought their own horses to follow them, and they all looked like they wanted to make achievements.
Regarding this situation, Liu Yu was also a little puzzled. Such a motivated "hostage" was beyond his expectation.
"Why?"
Liu Yu couldn't help but ask He Heng.
At this time, He Heng had just been appointed as the prefect of Northern Linhuai County by Liu Yu. Although he only had jurisdiction over half of Linhuai County, he was still a veritable county governor, a proper high-ranking official in the rank of Two Thousand Stones.
When Liu Yu asked, He Heng, who was full of joy and still did not back down, immediately answered quickly.
"General, none of these people feel that they are here to be hostages under the general's command. After all, those who are forced to hand over are the hostages. These powerful men and dock owners are all the disciples sent by them on their own initiative, so naturally they are not considered as such. What kind of hostage are they?"
Liu Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Is this the only difference? Isn't this a bit self-deceiving?"
After hearing this, He Heng shook his head and said.
"No, no, General. Now the powerful people in Huaibei know that the General and Jiangdong divide the Huaihe River to rule it. In this way, it is more than enough to maintain stability in Huaibei for several years, and the General's reputation now shocks the world. , how could these powerful men not take this opportunity to send their children to follow the general? Maybe the children of the clan can strive for success and earn a noble family's fortune."
There was a sense of pride in He Heng's tone, as if the person these powerful dock owners were competing to follow was himself.
"The reputation shakes the world?"
Hearing these words from He Heng's mouth, Liu Yu couldn't help but murmur to himself.
"Shocking the world? Am I worthy of this title now?"
Liu Yu asked He Heng.
After He Heng heard this, he immediately looked solemn and said seriously.
"If the general defeated the barbarians, conquered several states, and supported the crown prince to assume the throne, if this is not a shock to the world, then who else should be?"
