In the Prince's Mansion of the Jin Dynasty, there is a government office in Shangshutai.
Shenpei is handling the government affairs of Jin.
Yuan Shao proclaimed himself the Queen of Jin, and Shen Pei became the Shangshu Ling of the Jin Kingdom. He took charge of the Shangshu Taiwan and became Yuan Shao's number one confidant.
Whenever Yuan Shao went on an expedition, Shen Pei would sit in the rear.
This time Yuan Shao made the same arrangement to attack Gongsun Zan. Yuan Shao took away Ju Suo, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and Xu You, leaving Shen Pei to sit in the rear and handle Jin's government affairs.
As a minister of Yuan Shao, Shen Pei was conscientious and diligent in his work. He often stayed overnight at the Shangshutai to handle government affairs late at night. However, Shen Pei has a strong personality and is not broad-minded enough.
Among the officials of Jin State, Shen Pei's reputation was not very good and he could not unite the officials below him. However, Yuan Shao trusted Shen Pei as always and let Shen Pei take charge of Jin's government affairs.
As a result, there has never been any change in the trial match.
The judge looked through the government affairs and looked at the memorials handed out one after another. Suddenly he saw a memorial and his eyes turned cold. Because this memorial was received to impeach Xu You's family.
Xu You's youngest son relied on Xu You's identity to extort money from the businessman. When he failed to get money, he beat the businessman to death.
"Over and over again, like father, like son."
Shen Pei spoke coldly.
He wrote the words "dispose according to law" on the memorial.
Looking at the conclusion of the legal punishment, the judge originally wanted to re-write a severe punishment to set an example, but he thought that at the time of the battle with Gongsun Zan on the front line, Xu You's youngest son would be dealt with severely now, which would inevitably lead to Xu You's resentment and easily Disengagement and morality.
Act according to law and have taken care of Xu You.
When the judge thought of this, a look of pride appeared on his face. He was really broad-minded and upright. Based on the conflict between him and Xu You, and with the help of Xu You's son breaking the law, it is possible to severely punish Xu You's family and involve them.
However, he still acted in accordance with the law.
Thinking of this, Shen Pei complained that Xu You was narrow-minded and not big-hearted.
Shen Pei put aside the memorial and continued to deal with other memorials. There was never any delay in reviewing the memorials submitted on the same day. No matter how late it was, he would deal with them on the same day and then make arrangements.
While the examiner was processing the documents, an attendant hurried in and reported: "Examiner, Xiahou Dun arranged for someone to deliver the letter."
"Hand it over."
The judge ordered.
The attendant handed over the letter, and the judge took it over to look at it. He quickly browsed it and smiled coldly after reading it.
Xiahou Dun asks for help?
What a joke, how could he send troops to aid Xiahou Dun.
Today's Dongjun seems to be the only remaining territory in Yanzhou. In fact, Xiahou Dun's troops are all in Yanxian, and there are almost no losses. Yu Jin's troops also returned to Dongjun, with no losses.
According to the estimate of the judge, Xiahou Dun still has at least 20,000 elites in his hands.
In this case, it is impossible for the judge to send troops.
Yuan Shao is currently attacking Gongsun Zan in the north, and the situation has been delayed and has not been very optimistic. If Shen Pei wanted to send troops, he would first send troops to support Yuan Shao, not to support Xiahou Dun.
The judge picked up his pen and wrote a letter to refuse.
His rhetoric was that Jizhou was also facing many difficulties and lacked troops, so he could not divide his troops to support Xiahou Dun. He asked Xiahou Dun for his understanding.
At the end of Shen Pei's letter, he changed his tone and said that at this stage, Hen Pei could support Xiahou Dun with some offensive and defensive materials, and would also arrange for people to give Xiahou Dun some bows, arrows, armor, and knives.
In addition, a batch of food will also be sent south.
This is the reply from the judge.
Just as Shen Pei finished writing the letter and was waiting for the ink to dry and was preparing to send him away, another attendant came in with a look of fear and said loudly: "Shang Shu, something serious has happened."
Shen Pei scolded: "How can you be so flustered? The people at my Shangshu desk are in the center and are dealing with the government affairs of the State of Jin. They are all so uncertain. When the King of Jin comes back and sees it, what will he think of me? tower?"
The attendant was hunched over, looking frightened. The matter was urgent and he had to report it immediately. However, the mating is an order of the Shangshu, which controls the fate of everyone in the Shangshutai.
The attendant did not dare to refute.
When the judge saw the attendant bowing to admit his mistake, he changed the topic and asked, "What's causing the panic?"
The attendant quickly said: "Reporting to the Minister of Review, Kuai Liang arranged for General Zang Ba to lead troops into Chonghe County, Bohai County. Now, Chonghe County has been captured by Zang Ba, and Kuai Liang's army has entered Bohai County."
boom! !
There seemed to be thunder exploding in Shen Pei's mind, and his mind was buzzing.
He was absent-minded for a moment, and after a long while he came back to his senses. He put his hands on the desk, stared at the attendant, and asked: "Where did the news come from? All along, Kuai Liang's army has been in Pingyuan County. Our people are also staring at Kuai Liang, why did his army go to Bohai County?"
The attendant noticed the red eyes of the judge, and when he saw the hysterical expression, he cursed in his heart.
There was still a look of fear on his face.
The attendant quickly said: "Replying to the Minister, there is currently discussion outside, and there are also people talking in the Chancery. The villain heard the news, and then came to report it quickly. The specific situation is not very clear. It is just popular news, and it cannot be false. , because it doesn’t make any sense.”
After hearing this, the judge fell into deep thought and sat down silently.
The attendants were even more frightened.
If I had known it earlier, I would not have come to report it. I thought I had seized some opportunity, but I didn't expect that the judge looked at a loss.
After a long while, Shen Pei waved his hand and the attendant withdrew.
The judge came to his senses and immediately sent someone to verify. It didn't take long before I got confirmed news from the sentry.
Knowing that there could be no further delay, Shen Pei ordered: "Whoever comes, please inform General Chunyu Qiong to come and discuss matters."
Chunyu Qiong is Yuan Shao's confidant and good friend. When Yuan Shao was in Luoyang, Chunyu Qiong had already supported Yuan Shao and was Yuan Shao's direct confidant. Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou were stronger than Chunyu Qiong, Zhang He and Gao Lan were also more capable than Chunyu Qiong in commanding troops.
However, Chunyu Qiong's status is still higher.
Yuan Shao led his army northward, leaving Chunyu Qiong behind to lead the troops to guard Yecheng to ensure the safety of Yecheng.
The attendant went to notify him, but not long after, he saw Chun Yuqiong wearing armor, striding into the room, cupping his fists and saying: "Inspection of the book."
Shen Pei did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "General Chunyu, we just received news that Kuai Liang sent General Zang Ba to attack Chonghe County in Bohai County and has captured the county seat."
Chunyu Qiong's eyes were sharp, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Does Shangshu Shen mean to let me lead the troops to defeat Zang Ba?"
"Yes, that's what it means."
Shen Pei looked serious and said: "There are more than 20,000 defenders in Yecheng. You lead 10,000 elites and rush to Bohai County to recapture Chonghe County. Even if it cannot be recaptured, Zang Ba's offensive must be blocked and the situation stabilized. "
"I will report the news to the king immediately and ask the king to weigh in and make arrangements."
"I also received a letter from Xiahou Dun. Xiahou Dun still has ten or twenty thousand elites, so he hopes to send troops with us to help him. It is simply a fool's dream."
"Now that Xiahou Dun is holding back Zhou Yu's offensive in Yanzhou, you go to Bohai County to block Zang Ba's offensive. Once the king defeats Gongsun Zan, we can make arrangements calmly and attack Lu Xuan's army with all our strength."
Shen Pei solemnly said: "General Chunyu, we will win this battle, do you understand?"
"Make sure to complete the mission."
Chunyu Qiong answered without hesitation.
He left in a hurry.
Shen Pei looked at Chunyu Qiong's leaving figure, glanced at the letter he was going to send to Xiahou Dun, and thought about changing it to talk about the affairs of Bohai County. But then he thought, Xiahou Dun must have gotten the news, and he didn't need to explain anything, so he just had the letter sent away.
Shen Pei wrote another letter, explaining the situation in Bohai County, Xiahou Dun's situation, and clarifying the current situation. Finally, Shen Pei said that everything in the rear was stable and operating normally, so Yuan Shao did not have to worry.
At the same time, the judge also promised to go north to supply Yuan Shao with grain and grass supplies for the war, and he also guaranteed that there would be no problem. The trial letter did not mean to urge Yuan Shao, but it clearly stated the situation on the rear.
Yuan Shao will naturally be anxious.
This is the intention of trial matching.
The letters for trial and distribution were sent out of Yecheng, at an accelerated speed of eight hundred miles, towards the battlefield of Yijing in Youzhou in the north.
