When Liu Jing held a winter solstice banquet in Xiangyang, Pan Jun also organized a banquet in Bushan, but there were only more than 300 people attending the banquet. Compared with the grand occasion in Xiangyang, it was a world of difference.

This is also normal. Pan Juntu is known as the governor of Jiaozhou, but in fact he can only rule one county in Yulin. He has only been in office for three months now. He has not yet had time to implement his strategy and spread his favor. Many places in Yulin are not even known. If Wang Qiang, the prefect of Yulin, had not been willing to obey his orders, he would not even be able to get out of the governor's office.

Wang Qiang was a merchant from a lowly family, but he was brave and resourceful, resolute and able to make decisions, which was like the Wu and Han Dynasty. With a single soldier in the city, he counterattacked tens of thousands of people in Zhangjin, overthrew his army, and beheaded him, which made him powerful. In Jiaoyu, the Han and Yi people were conquered, and Liu Jing appointed him as General Bi, and Dong supervised the military affairs of Jiaozhou.

Wang Qiang was not only the governor of Yulin, but also in charge of the military affairs of Jiaozhou. He was the most powerful person in Jiaozhou under Liu Jing. Pan Jun only had an empty name.

Although Wang Qiang respects Pan Jun very much and obeys all orders, Pan Jun still feels extremely uncomfortable. He is not a person who is willing to sit around and sit back and make promises. If he does not have great ambitions in his heart, he will Why come to this barren land of Jiaozhou?

Fortunately, Liu Jing quickly slaughtered Liu Biao with thunderous force in the north and sent envoys to express his wishes. Ten days ago, good news came from Xiangyang. His position as governor of Jiaozhou had been officially recognized by the court and was no longer just Liu Jing's private office. .

Pan Jun was overjoyed, because his appointment as the governor of Jiaozhou was made by Liu Jing, and neither the four Shixie brothers who dominated the four counties of Jiaonan nor Shi Huang, the prefect of Cangwu, would obey his orders. Now that there is an emperor, With the endorsement, he finally confirmed his position as governor.

Pan Jun's first idea was to move the administrative office to other places. Pan Jun would not go to Shixie's Jiaozhi County, or even Nanhai County, Hepu County, and Jiuzhen County controlled by the Shi family brothers. He felt that Wang Qiang was here. Unfortunately, if we go to the territory of the Shi family brothers, the situation will be even more difficult.

At the beginning, Zhang Jin led his army to the north to station in Yulin and Cangwu, and invaded Lingling and Guiyang on a large scale. Although he was tempted by Cao Cao and had the intention of annexing Jingnan, he still wanted to get rid of Shi Xie and establish himself in Jiaobei.

Rinan County is located in the south of Jiuzhen, and it is also a remote place in the wilderness of Jiaozhou. Naturally, Pan Jun will not go there. As a result, only Cangwu County, which is close to Yulin County, is left.

Shi Huang, the governor of Cangwu, has always been in poor health, and has been plagued by various illnesses this year. It is said that he has not appeared in public for several months.

Liu Jing and Pan Jun's original plan was to wait for Shi Huang to die of illness before taking over Cangwu County. But now that Pan Jun is the real governor of Jiaozhou, there is no need to wait any longer.

A few days ago, out of courtesy, Pan Jun sent people to Cangwu Guangxin to inform Shi Huang that he would hand over the governor's decision to reform Guangxin.

Then, without waiting for Shi Huang's reply, Pan Jun immediately started organizing the relocation after the winter solstice.

On the eve of his departure, Wang Qiang held a grand banquet at the county government to bid farewell to Pan Jun.

At the banquet, everyone drank happily and danced to join each other as they pleased. Wang Qiang often felt humble and did not like dancing, so he did not dance to Pan Jun and instead toasted to him frequently.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Qiang was already a bit drunk. He raised his glass and said to Pan Jun: "Your Majesty, I still think you should not go to Cangwu alone. Shi Huang's attitude is unclear at the moment. What if he has ill intentions towards you? Isn't it dangerous? If something happens to the envoy, how will I explain it to the general? I think it's better for me to personally lead the troops and horses to send you to take office."

Wang Qiang must not be allowed to interfere in Cangwu's matter. Pan Jun shook his head and said: "Shi Cangwu is a famous scholar in Guiyang and has a good reputation. Now that he is seriously ill, what evil intentions can he have? What's more, I am not alone. There are more than a hundred state officials. Accompanying us, we are protected by two thousand soldiers, which is enough to ensure safety."

Seeing that Wang Qiang wanted to say more, Pan Jun countered by saying: "I am not only the general who is in charge of the military of a state, but also the governor of Yulin. The governor is also the king of a county. To the west of Yulin today, the rebels and barbarians are still here." Gathering in the valley will lead to rebellion, how can we move lightly at this time?"

Wang Qiang's face suddenly darkened and he sneered: "This generation has nothing to worry about. There were many Qu commanders west of Yulin, and the barbarian capitals all followed Zhang Jin to invade Bushan. During this period, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Afterwards, they dared to show shamelessness to me." Please surrender. I have killed them and three hundred of my close associates. Their heads are still hanging by the road as a warning. If you dare to cause chaos, it will just be a few more heads."

"Although it's just ringworm and scabies, we still have to take precautions." Pan Jun said with a smile, "If you are really worried about my safety, why don't you go to the border between Chen and Bing counties after I enter Cangwu, and boats and ships come and go in the dense water, thinking that Ao Yuan." In fact, he thought that doing so was unnecessary, and he only proposed it for An Wangqiang's sake.

"Okay." Wang Qiang thought for a while and nodded, "If something happens, I don't have to take the risk myself. You can be a hypocrite and secretly send people to recruit me. Then I will personally bring the army to crush Guangxin and kill all the disobedient people. .”

"Okay, please drink this glass to the full." Pan Jun raised his glass and toasted Wang Qiang with a glass of wine.

"please……"

The next day, Pan Jun said goodbye to Wang Qiang on the bank of Yushui River, and then led more than 2,000 officials and sailed eastward along Yushui River. Guangxin was about four to five hundred miles away from Bushan, and he would arrive in five days.

An old Han Dynasty classic says: "The chariots and chariots are driven forward, hanging red curtains and clothes, to greet the state border."

Because Pan Jun set off on his own without waiting for Shi Huang's reply, the team to greet him had just left Guangxin, and the two sides collided at Jindu.

"Cangwu meritorious Cao Chen Qian, pays homage to Mingshijun." One of the first people led the Cangwu officials to pay their respects.

"This is Chen Wenkai? No need to be polite, please get up." Pan Jun looked at Chen Qian with a smile. He was about forty years old, wearing a handsome hat and elegant clothes. He looked like a well-educated man at first glance.

The Chen family belongs to the Cangwuguan clan, and has passed down Confucian classics from generation to generation. The ancestor of Chen Qian, Chen Qin, was a master of Confucian classics in the Western Han Dynasty. He was well versed in the Five Classics and was especially good at "Zuo Zhuan". Wang Mang also studied from him. Chen Qin's son Chen Yuan, who passed on his father's legacy at a young age, was also a master of Confucian classics. Followed by scholars.

Chen Qian was once elected as Xiaolian by the county, and he was promoted to the head of Qujiang in Guiyang. A few years ago, Zhang Jinbei attacked Ling, Gui, and Chen Qian's Qujiang bore the brunt. Knowing that he was defeated, he simply abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown. The governor Shi Huangjiu If you hear his name, please be a hero.

Chen Qian's family is the most powerful one in the world. He also has a good reputation. He is deeply respected by Cangwu Han and barbarians. Only he can stabilize the situation in Cangwu after the prefect Shi Huang is seriously ill and unable to take charge. Without him to take charge of the overall situation, Cangwu will be in ruins. It was already in chaos.

Pan Jun said: "I have long heard of your great reputation. Cangwu is still stable today, all thanks to your single step. Now that I have just come to Guangxin, and if I want to show my power and virtue in the territory, I must rely on talents like this step. I He intends to use his single step to control the center, but I don’t know if Shi Cangwu is willing to give up his love."

Zhizhong was the right-hand man of the governor, and his power was second only to that of the "half-prefect" Bijia. Of course Chen Qian intended to take the position of governor, but he had to obtain Shi Huang's consent for this.

After hearing Chen Qian's answer, Pan Jun thought more highly of him and asked, "By the way, when I was in Yulin, I heard that Shi Cangwu was seriously ill. I wonder if this is true or not?"

Chen Qian thought for a while and admitted: "The prince is indeed seriously ill and unable to take charge."

"Today, the world is upside down and the people are in ruins. However, Shi Cangwu can guard the southern border of the country and stabilize the common people. It can be said that he has contributed to the country. How can such a hero of the country not be known to the world? I will write to the emperor and invite him. Of course, all the kings have their own merits."

As soon as Pan Jun said this, all the officials in Cangwu, including Chen Qian, were very happy.

With the support of Cangwu officials, Pan Jun entered Guangxin from the south gate. Not only were more than a hundred state officials closely following him, but two thousand soldiers also entered the city majestically and took over the city defense immediately.

Pan Jun first went to the official residence of the county government to visit Shi Huang, who was ill in bed. Shi Huang was only fifty this year, but he was tortured by the disease and became thin and skinny, with a withered face, which made people feel sad.

Chen Qian mentioned Pan Jun's commendation to the court. Shi Huang was very moved. He had been an innocent man all his life and had done well in politics. But now he was suffering from various diseases and there was no hope of recovery. What he cared about most was There is a reputation, whether it is the reputation before or after death.

Shi Huang reciprocated the favor and expressed his willingness to resign as the governor of Cangwu. However, Pan Jun refused. As soon as he entered Guangxin, he took away his position as the governor. It was too ugly to look at him. Anyway, Cangwu was already in his pocket, so there was no need to rush. For a while.

After coming out of the official residence, Pan Jun immediately went to the main hall of the county government and sent someone to summon the officials under the governor and officials from Cangwu County to gather in the main hall for a meeting.

Pan Jun's first order was to appoint Chen Qian as the governor. After that, he asked Chen Qian about the famous and talented county officials. Chen Qian recommended more than ten people in succession, and Pan Jun recruited them all into the governor's department.

Although Cangwu is a large county in Jiaozhou, the prefect Shi Huang has always been lenient to the Han and Yi people and is not good at martial arts, so he only has 3,000 county soldiers. Pan Jun brought 2,000 soldiers to his post this time, half of them They all participated in the war with Zhang Jin and easily annexed the soldiers of Cangwu County.

At this point, Pan Jun completely controlled the two counties of Cangwu, Yulin, and Cangwu and became one, dominating Jiaobei, and finally gained some momentum.

The next step is to work hard, accumulate strength, and then Xu Tujiaonan.
