Sitting at the table, stretching out his feet to sit on a stool, Zhang Jun took Wang Xiaolie's official document and looked at it. The meaning is simple and straightforward. It doesn't matter whether Ding Jin surrenders to King Liu Yu or not, but there must be a road to the east of the river. The cost of transporting grain by detouring through Lu's family is too high. If Ding Jin firmly disagrees with borrowing the passage, then get rid of him. Cao Zhiyan has returned to Ruzhou. In order to prevent accidents, he can ask his army to cooperate.
Putting down the official document, Zhang Jun was stunned for a long time. He and Yu Huan have always believed that Ding Jin's defection to Liu Yu was a big deal, and Wang Xiaolie would not allow it. Unexpectedly, in Wang Xiaolie's eyes, this matter didn't matter at all. Wang Xiaolie's purpose has always been clear, which is to use the road to reach the east of the river.
For Liu Yu, recruiting such a grass-headed king with soldiers and territory is just a way to increase his momentum. As long as the Song army counterattacks, it is almost certain that Ding Jin will not resist fiercely. What really works is the main forces of both sides behind.
Including Wang Xiaolie, the leaders of these forces in the north had no strong support from the rear and could only follow the general trend. The limelight was not in the spotlight for a while, but the time was ripe and anyway, it was nothing new. Wang Xiaolie didn't want to invest his strength for some false reputation.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Jun stood up and walked around the room a few times. If he and Yu Huan failed to deal with it this time, Wang Xiaolie would definitely use the Ruzhou army. In fact, as soon as the two encountered difficulties, Wang Xiaolie wanted to use the army.
Sitting down at the table, Zhang Jun sighed. This is due to different status and different perspectives of thinking about problems. For Wang Xiaolie, the most important thing is the result, not the process. But for Zhang Jun and Yu Huan, the process is very important. If you do well, you should take credit for it. If it is not done well, even if the result is perfect, it is still the fault of both of us.
Walking out of the room, I heard the laughter of Yu Nu and Ping Ping coming from the room next to me. Until now, the situation in Yingyang is unclear, and neither Yu Huan nor Zhang Jun have figured out how the two sisters will play a role. Every day, the two sisters went shopping happily, ate and drank happily, and lived a carefree life. Zhang Jun couldn't understand why the two of them were happy.
Lu Cheng came out of the side room and whispered to Zhang Jun: "Controller, if the king dares to come back today, what are the plans?"
Zhang Jun said: "We are still confused now, and Zhenfu is a little impatient. What are the arrangements? When the king dares to come back, buy some wine and meat to support him, and we will discuss it carefully. We finally go out to do a big thing, and if we return without success , How can I face Zhenfu?"
Lu Cheng agreed. I took the money and left the inn, bought some wine and meat, and came back.
The sun hadn't set yet, and Wang Gan returned to the inn. Zhang Jun didn't say much and directly pulled him into his room.
Sitting around the table with Lu Cheng and Liu Jing. Before drinking, Zhang Jun asked: "How is Yingyang now? I heard that Liu Yu's envoys have arrived. Have you heard any news? Is Ding Jin satisfied with the conditions Liu Yu gave?"
Lu Chengdao: "It's a long night, why should the ruler be anxious? Wang Da has been walking hard all the way, so he needs to take a breath first."
"That's right. I'm a little anxious." Zhang Jun picked up the wine bottle and poured wine. "You've been working hard all the way, so drink this glass of wine first."
The king dared to thank me. He picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Have a few glasses of wine. Zhang Jun couldn't help but asked Wang Gan: "What is the situation in Yingyang County now?"
Wang Gan said: "Liu Yu's envoy arrived the day before yesterday. I rested for a long time yesterday and talked with Liu Yu in the afternoon. When Liu Yu was hiring people, the official position he gave Ding Jin was not low. He was promoted to defense envoy, and he was in charge of Henan Fulu and also knew Zhengzhou. Still the hero of the party.”
Zhang Jun stuck out his tongue and said, "Straight bitch, Liu Yu is so generous with his appointment!"
Lu Chengdao: "If you become Liu Yu's official, you won't even get an official salary, so what's the use of becoming a high official?"
Zhang Jun said: "You can pull up the banner and make a tiger skin. From now on, Ding Jin is also a serious official, so naturally there will be people to vote for him."
Lu Cheng shook his head: "Commander, when he was in Kaifeng Mansion, Zong Liushou named him the capital patrol inspector. This official is just a name, I'm afraid it will be of little use."
Zhang Jun thought for a while. He nodded and said: "That's right. If you don't vote for Liu Yu, this dynasty can still seal him. Not to mention being a governor, what's the use of letting him be the envoy of the Northwest Road of Beijing? Heroes everywhere are watching. Let’s calm down.”
After Liu Yu established the Puppet Qi Dynasty, he changed the names of many places, especially the road level. For example, Jingdong Road was changed to Shandong Road, and Jingxi Road was changed to Henanfu Road. In later generations, these two places were Shandong Province and Henan Province, and their names began around this time. The reason why the name was changed was because the Song Dynasty called it Jingdong and Jingxi, based on Kaifeng Prefecture in the capital. Liu Yu initially settled on Damingfu as his capital, but it was difficult to name it that way.
Jingdong Road was changed to Shandong Road, which can be said to be east of Taihang Mountain. Henanfu Road, as you can tell from the name, comes from Henanfu, Xijing. The reason why Luoyang is Henan Prefecture and there is Henan County below it is because the Luo River passes through the city, and Henan refers to the south of the Luo River.
Liu Yu's regime existed for less than ten years, with crude politics, lack of historical data, and many things unclear. Why the Shandong and Henan regions were changed to these two names is actually not clear to future generations.
People often wonder why Shandong Province is named east of the Taihang Mountains when it is not close to the Taihang Mountains. Some people say that the mountain in the name actually refers to Mount Tai. Others refute that the west of Mount Tai is also in Shandong Province. The same is true for Henan Province. Some people say that Henan is called Henan because it is south of the Yellow River. Some people argue that Henan Province also has part of the area north of the Yellow River. If divided by provincial boundaries, it should be south of the Zhang River. Some people have found historical materials from ancient times and said how important the Zhanghe River was in ancient times.
The talents under Liu Yu's rule are not that magical. The mountains in Shandong Province are unclear, but judging from Liu Yu’s political division boundaries, it is likely to refer to the Taihang Mountains. The word Henan in Henan Province comes from Henan Prefecture because the earliest road name was Henan Prefecture Road. From the name alone, the reason why Henan Province is called Henan Province is not because it is south of the Yellow River, let alone the south of the Zhang River, but because there is a county south of the Luo River, called Henan County. Because of this county, the Luoyang area is Henan Prefecture. Because of Henan Prefecture, the whole road is called Henan Prefecture Road. The river in Henan refers to the Luo River.
In later Henan Province, there were two largest cities at this time. Liu Yu also had the intention of moving the capital to Kaifeng Prefecture, so it was called Henan Prefecture Road.
Listening to Wang Gan's introduction to the current situation in Yingyang, Zhang Jun couldn't help but frown deeply. Said: "Based on the conditions proposed by Liu Yu, Ding Jin will most likely agree. If so, he will not be tolerated!"
Wang Gan said: "What Zong said is right. Ding Jin is already moved, but several of his subordinate leaders have different opinions. Peng Tan agrees, and he also wants to get promoted and make a fortune. Ma Xi sees what Ding Jin means, and he agrees if Ding Jin agrees. Shi Jian Then he firmly opposed it and vowed not to expose traitors to death. Luan Qingshan had only been promoted to leader recently, and no one took his opinions seriously. But judging from what he meant, he had similar ideas to Shi Jian. His subordinates had different opinions, and Ding Jin couldn't agree to it all at once."
"Interesting, there are three or five leaders with so many ideas." Zhang Jun picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of wine, thinking there.
Wang Gan said: "Yu Huan was very anxious after getting the news. He chased me and asked what to do. How dare I make the decision on such a big matter? I had to rush back to Yique and let the commander make his decision. Time is urgent and this matter cannot wait. !”
