Of course, it’s so dark and cold outside. What if a wild beast attacks me at night?
However, Gongsun Xun, who had obtained two documents in front of the county officials, no longer cared about the other party's actions. He had obtained all the supplies and the dispatching rights of the civilians... It would be better if this guy left!
"I didn't expect this to be so easy!" In the tent at night, even the honest Wang Xiu couldn't help but sigh when he took the paperwork. "I thought it should be the most difficult thing."
"Shu Zhi," Gongsun Xun couldn't help but chuckled while the other party carefully put the documents into the wooden box. "Do you think our Lord Gaofu is really stupid or pretending to be stupid? He can so easily transfer the treasury to the wooden box."
Will the civilian husband leave it to me?"
"He... Mr. Gaofu probably just didn't expect it." Wang Xiu locked the wooden box and tied it in his arms, and then said seriously. "Think about it, sir, as long as I didn't expect you to take the initiative to attack Goguryeo, what would happen to you?"
What does it matter if your treasury and civilians have the right to recruit troops? What’s more, what if Goguryeo really comes to attack?"
Gongsun Xun laughed dumbly.
"But your Majesty." When Wang Shuzhi said this, he couldn't help but bow down and said seriously. "My Majesty, I have a word of advice... This kind of weird thing is not right. Please try your best to do it as little as possible in the future, and Gaofu Lord is also the same."
The lord of the county is considered your lord, so you should never talk behind your back."
Gongsun Xun put away his smile and quickly became solemn: "What Shu Zhi said is true, but it shouldn't be true. If we can do things in the right way, who would be willing to do this? It's nothing more than a whimsical thing. There is no need for more.
I’m afraid the methods of deception and abduction will not work.”
"Since your Majesty knows that this matter is a bit fanciful, why do you have to attack Goguryeo?" Wang Xiu was still puzzled. "You are obviously in harmony with everyone in Xiangping, and everything goes well..."
"I have my own reasons," Gongsun Xun said awkwardly with his hands behind his hands. "Otherwise with Lu Ziheng's transparency and Lou Zibo's wisdom, why would he help me do this?"
Wang Xiu lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Gongsun Xun suddenly stood up and opened the leather curtain of the big tent and walked out, then raised his head and looked to the northeast. "Since the food and the civilians are all ready, it is time to speed up the pace and gather the soldiers.
, then look at the right opportunity, draw the eagle bow like a full moon, look northeast, and shoot at the Sirius!"
Wang Xiu wanted to open his mouth to explain. Although Sirius was already visible in the autumn and winter, it was in the south of the sky, not in the northeast. Even from the perspective of Tianzhi Gong (Arc Nine Star) on the southeast side of Sirius,
It should be looking northwest, and the Bow of Heaven is attacking Huaiyuan, which is in line with the current situation. Is there another slip of the tongue... But Wang Shuzhi is not Lu Ziheng after all. He doesn't want to say anything more about things that are not within his responsibilities. He just keeps quiet.
Jingshi just stood behind the other party.
For three days in a row, everything went smoothly, even if you think about it, a large-scale hunt of this scale, with everyone holding a bow and a spear, dogs and hawks, tigers, bears and the like is really not a big deal... In a large hunting camp that uses iron tools,
In front of a large crowd, what is a beast?
Of course, there were not all unlucky ones, but most of them were injured by falls, bruises, etc. They could not be carried back together with the prey by Guo, and one person was even killed by the fall... However, there were quite a few in previous years.
There is no need to bear any psychological burden on casualties.
Putting aside these minutiae, three days later the foothills to the east of Xiangping City finally became noisy again. After all, there is nothing more exciting than harvest and comparison!
"What's your name?" After the excitement, Gongsun Xunzheng asked a middle-aged commoner man in front of him on a high platform built against the hillside in a kind yet loud voice. "Where are you from?
?”
The man's hair was rough and had a weathered appearance. At first glance, he could tell that he was just a healthy ordinary householder. He might have been elected as the leader by the village because he had more hunting experience. At this time, he was called to the stage and faced with
Gongsun Xun, a noble man, asked kindly, and his face turned red. He wanted to open his mouth to answer the question, but he couldn't even speak clearly.
As a result, the audience burst into laughter for a while, and the middle-aged man was even more at a loss when he heard the laughter.
It turned out that at this time Gongsun Xun was coming forward to reward the meritorious people of this hunt. After the three leading teams received collective rewards, they also specially rewarded the leader of the first team... In addition to hunting the most, this team actually also
There is also an astonishing harvest of one tiger, two bears and one pig, and most of it depends on this person's skill, so it must be specially rewarded!
"Why do we let people like this get the upper hand?" Most of the people in the audience laughed, but somewhere in the ranger team, they were filled with resentment. "How could a mere ordinary hunter lead a team that killed one tiger, two bears, and one pig?
, and go up to the stage to be rewarded and received by the county king? If it were the eldest brother who went up, he would just ask for a person to accompany him without being rewarded later, wouldn’t he already have this background? "
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged leader of the team, a well-known ranger leader in the Pingguo area, immediately frowned and became silent.
"Xiaosi, don't talk nonsense, brother, don't worry about it," someone next to him saw something was wrong and quickly advised him. "It's just that the country bumpkin on the stage got lucky and happened to encounter so many beasts. We are just unlucky. Really
If we encounter it, I can win it with my brother’s bravery!”
"This is not a matter of luck," the middle-aged leader finally sighed. "Because in terms of our total results, we are not even a little bit behind the top three, so what if we were lucky enough to hunt two bears and tigers? Now
Looking back, I realized that I was indeed at a loss of command. After encountering the tusked wild pig on the first day, I actually abandoned the prey in the middle of the mountain to chase it. As a result, the pig failed to catch it, and the prey in the middle of the mountain was frightened and ran away, all in vain.
What a waste of a day's work! It's so half-hearted and nothing gets done..."
Everyone around was helpless, and suddenly there was a noise all around. Even this group of rangers exclaimed. It turned out that the hunter on the stage who had the same surname as his brother, Liu, besides getting several boxes full of money and silk for himself and his team,
In addition to the reward, I also personally received an extra reward from the White Horse Zhonglang - the latter, Gongsun Xun, actually personally took off his own crown and tied it on for him!
Before this was over, two more officials next to him suddenly brought out two things. One was a big red flower made of silk, which was said to be made by Mrs. Jun of Gongsun County; the other was a copper waist medal.
It is said that it was made under the supervision of the government, and it is the only one in the county. It has the words "The number one hunter in Liaodong in the first year of Guanghe" written on it... Then, the Gongsun County Lord personally leaned over and hung red flowers on his chest and waist.
He also claimed that he wanted the other party to ride a horse and parade here later to show off his reputation!
"Do you have any other requests?" After hanging up the bronze medal and waiting for the noise to calm down a little, Gongsun Xun asked again in a pleasant tone. "Just say it!"
The audience held their breath again, wanting to see what the Orion surnamed Liu would want again? Another box of money? Or a pavilion director?
"I, I... my child is six years old this year, and he doesn't have a proper name yet." Orion, surnamed Liu, who was hanging a flower, said in a low voice. "Please, please, please give me a name for your child!"
Gongsun Xun immediately laughed: "Boy or girl? Are there any taboos?"
There was a sigh in the audience, and many people felt sorry for this person for making such a ridiculous request.
"I need a pavilion chief!" Someone in the previous ranger team couldn't bear it. "How stupid is this person? If he asks for the position of pavilion chief at this time, will the county not allow him?"
"What the hell do you know?!" Looking at the situation on the stage and listening to the words in his ears, the ranger leader Liu, who was originally able to remain calm, couldn't bear it anymore. "As a parent, this is how it should be! This is the only reason why you are given this name.
In the future, when the children grow up and go to the county middle school to study, will the school not accept them?! Will Amway take care of them?! This Orion is obviously making a lot of money!"
As soon as these words came out, all the rangers woke up one after another.
"Actually, it's not just him?" After the ranger leader scolded his subordinates, he couldn't help but feel sad for a moment. "I can barely count myself as a wealthy family in Pingguo because of my family. When I was young, I was frivolous and idle. I spent half my life as a ranger and spent half my life wandering around...
Didn’t you just watch my Yuan’er grow up day by day, and then think about trying to find a better background? There is also Wang Dao from Xuantu County, who usually makes a living by relying on the silver road in the north.
Five people and six people, but when he heard about this, didn't he quickly form a team and rush over? Is he short of money? It's just like me. When I reach middle age, I want to wash away the past and pray for my children and grandchildren.
It’s just a matter of birth!”
Seeing that the leader was so depressed, everyone was speechless for a while. They could only try hard to persuade him, saying something like coming back next year.
"I'm afraid there won't be another year." It's better not to say these words. As soon as he said them, the ranger leader surnamed Liu couldn't help but lowered his head and held his knife in anger. "God knows when this time next year, will Governor Gao and County Lord Gongsun still be in Liaodong? If not,
, is this kind of big safari still going on? These days, there are so few noble people who are willing to give the people below them a way of life! It’s not easy to meet two of them, and there is such an opportunity, but I can only hate myself for being incompetent, hating
I couldn’t have planned everything before!”
"Brother..." The people around him increasingly didn't know how to persuade him.
But just when the ranger leader was feeling sorry for himself, there was suddenly another exclamation like a mountain roaring and a tsunami. The ranger leader surnamed Liu, who came from a wealthy family, quickly looked up, but his ears were filled with cheers. For a moment, he had no idea what was happening.
What?
"What are you cheering for?" The follower who had the idea quickly grabbed the people in the team next to him and asked.
"Just now, the county gentleman named the Orion child Liu Yi," the person next to him immediately replied excitedly.
"What's so exciting about this?"
"My brother is a bastard in the village and doesn't know anything." Someone with a sharp ear hurriedly explained next to him. "Actually, it was the county prince who said that none of our teams should be disbanded because of the winter weather.
I have to come here regularly to have sex, play Cuju regularly, and take care of the food when I come here!"
"Are you just taking care of the food?" The ranger leader named Liu couldn't help but get angry and asked in person.
"Of course there are more," the smart-eared person in the team next to him said quickly. "Brother Liu doesn't know, but the county gentleman also said that the best half of the people in the gymnastics and the winning team in Cuju will get extra money and food.
.And whether it’s Cuju or Cao Cao, the best ones will be rewarded like today!”
"I know what it is if you know how to do it." The ranger leader was very surprised at first when he heard this, but then he quickly turned around and asked loudly to his brothers. "Cuju has only heard the name, which of you can do it?!"
Everyone was at a loss for a moment.
"Brother Liu, don't panic," the man with a sharp ear in the team next door heard the words of the ranger leader named Pingguo Liu. Naturally he knew what the other party was thinking, so he quickly said it well. "The county king said, his Cuju
No different than others, after the Orion parade to praise his achievements, he will let Yi Cong demonstrate at the school grounds for three days, and also let us deal with the prey first, so there is no need to worry..."
"My family is well-off, what do I want more than prey? You just tell me where the school is?"
"When I came back from the mountains just now, I saw a place with lime-white lines. I thought it might be a school ground. But Brother Liu, if you don't like these prey, can you entrust us in Qingshi Township to skin them for you?
By then the fur will be valuable, so I will return it to you or sell it to Amway for you, and you just want the meat to be given to us in Qingshi Village?"
"It's all up to you, take me there quickly..."
Not to mention the bustle and bustle in the audience, and how there were staff to guide the curing and peeling of meat, and how Amway took the opportunity to purchase furs, sell daily groceries, and demonstrate the new iron pot... Let’s just talk about the other side, Gongsun Xun.
He had already retreated from the stage early, and then took a few confidants and strolled on the slope side by side with his elder brother Gongsun Yu, and also chatted a lot.
But when exclamations rang out again in the school grounds over there, Gongsun Xun waved his hand to the following Shen Ping. Lu Fan and others all left for the time being, and then they walked alone with Gongsun Yu to the school grounds that had just been roughly marked out.
He walked away with his hands behind his back.
"I never expected that the most outstanding ones would be the local hunters, rather than those teams of rangers with a reputation for bravery," Gongsun Yu sighed for a moment. "Can such an honest person be able to hunt tigers and bears continuously?"
"There is a theory of specialization in everything," Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh. "Although I am also surprised, I am not confused...at least when these honest people cooperate, they will not play tricks or make mistakes to let their prey escape; and the rangers
Although one's personal force is excellent, what's the use of having excellent force in a team of dozens of people?"
Gongsun Yu nodded slightly: "No wonder the powerful army of the former Han Dynasty recruited more sons of good families instead of recruiting rangers... This is a secret of the art of war."
"Hunting is a perfect match for the art of war, otherwise the ancients would not have used hunting as a training ground for their troops."
"That's good," Gongsunyu suddenly stopped and pointed down the slope with his finger. "But Wenqi, what do you want to do with so many soldiers?"
Gongsun Xun immediately smiled and said nothing.
"Wenqi, our Liaodong is not an ordinary border county," Gongsun Yu couldn't help but sighed when he saw this. "There are eleven counties, with more than 60,000 households and a population of 400,000. This does not include those who have been displaced from Hebei and the Central Plains over the years.
Counting the stateless refugees who came here, they must be 30% stronger than the country of Goguryeo! But for such a large county, the power to recruit the treasury and the power to recruit young men and women are all taken by Wenqi... plus
You’re not doing this just to have fun playing Cuju, right?”
"Since brother mentioned Goguryeo, he has already guessed it, right?" Gongsun Xun glanced at the powerful outfit on the other party's body and didn't take it seriously at all.
"What else?" Gongsun Yu shook his head repeatedly. "With such a posture, we are not going to attack Goguryeo, but are we hiding our troops here among the people and then intending to rebel?"
My old lady really thought so. Gongsun Xun secretly slandered her in his heart, but he simply smiled on his face and said: "It is true that he is interested in Goguryeo."
"Did you go looking for you later?" Gongsun Yu said with a frown.
"I went to find him." Gongsun Xun said frankly.
"Why?" Gongsun Yu was greatly puzzled. "You have made outstanding contributions and have a strong background. You are always promising, but you are only limited by your age. If you sit in the county and work hard for qualifications, you will naturally jump up in two or three years!
Why take the risk?"
"Where is the risk?" Gongsun Xun said indifferently. "Take the soldiers to see Zuoyuan to test it out. If you can break through Goguryeo's Zuoyuan defense line, you can naturally take advantage of the ice in the Hun River in winter to attack the capital of Goguryeo.
At that time, if you move in the capital, the matter will be settled... And if you sit in the original position and defend tightly, you will just retreat and leave. Do the Goguryeo people still dare to chase them out? "
"That's not what I meant," Gongsun Yu stopped and asked seriously. "I'm asking Wen Qi why you did this?"
Gongsun Xun stood on the hillside and looked at the bustle of the school ground below. He suddenly changed the subject to an inexplicable topic: "Since brother knows that I have taken over the treasury and the civilian husband's recruiting power, then I also know that your adopted son was at that time
performance, right?"
"Extremely stupid!" Gongsun Yu's expression suddenly changed. "As a clan nephew, it's just that he couldn't help you before, but he wants to cause trouble? Even if he wants to cause trouble, it still depends on whether he can break it up, right?! You and Fujun
The two parties have already negotiated, what else does he want?! Apart from the word stupid, I can't think of anything else!"
"Actually, I can understand his thoughts." Gongsun Xun sighed lightly. "He has lived in the shadow of the two Gongsun Bao since he was a child, and he can't help but rebel... Therefore, brother, if you let him practice martial arts, he will
If you ask him to hunt, he will go hunting for the prefect with scriptures. But brother, no matter how stupid or rebellious he is, since he has done something in everything and is willing to stand up and speak out, there is always something
At least I want to prove something to you. Although Gongsun Du is good, he is someone else's child after all. Although my nephew is a bit stupid, he will inherit your legacy after all... Brother, you might as well treat him
Be more tolerant!”
Gongsun Yu felt sad for a moment: "Why don't I know this truth? It's just that the deeper the expectations, the heavier the disappointment... Forget it, let alone him, what exactly does Wen Qi want to say?"
"What I want to say is that actually I am also a rebellious son." Gongsun Xun replied seriously.
"Wen Qi is so outstanding, can he be considered a rebellious son?" Gongsun Yu couldn't help but sneer.
"Why not?" Gongsun Xun looked solemn for a moment. "Just like my nephew who lives under the shadow of the two Gongsun Bao brothers, I have also lived under the shadow of my mother and Amway since I was a child...
The county officials were arranged by her old man; the apprenticeship was arranged by her old man; when I came to be an official here, the arrangements were clear for me. All government affairs could be settled with just one mouth... Therefore, I also share my relationship with my old man.
Like a clan nephew, he can't help but want to do something stupid and say stupid words. Brother, this is human nature."
Gongsun Yu remained silent and did not answer.
"Brother," Gongsun Xunfu said again. "To tell you the truth, I begged everyone for this move, except my mother. I didn't ask her for help... Not to mention whether my brother agreed or not, but no matter what
Please don't tell her."
Gongsunyu stood on the slope and did not respond for a long time.
"Brother," Gongsun Xun couldn't bear it anymore after waiting for a long time.
"Your mother is a hero among women. She has created such a situation in more than 20 years. Who among the Gongsun clan in more than ten counties around the Bohai Sea disobeys her?" Gongsun Yu said seriously. "And she raised you as a widowed mother.
How impressive is it to be so impressive?"
Under these two words, Gongsun Xun was actually a little shaken for a moment.
"Of course you can break out of your own situation," Gongsunyu continued seriously. "But you must promise not to let your mother down!"
"This is natural!" Gongsun Xun put away his thoughts and nodded immediately. "If things don't work out, I will naturally follow my mother's wishes and stay with her everywhere in Liaodong!"
"That's good," Gongsun Yu just bowed his head and responded. "I know what you mean, but I have resigned for many years. I am afraid that the only army in Xuan Tu's place is Xu Rong, whose father and son are my former officials.
I sent troops privately to help you at my command, but there were only 1,500 cavalry there... Of course, you probably only took a fancy to this one, right?"
"Exactly!" Gongsun Xun took a long breath and then bowed his hands in thanks. "Fifteen hundred cavalry is enough! Thank you for your kindness, brother!"
"No need to thank me," Gongsunyu turned around and walked towards the bustling school ground down the hillside with his hands behind his hands, his gray hair lifted by the autumn wind. "After I die, if you can still remember this kindness, take more care of me."
Your idiot clan nephew... and Gongsun Du, although this guy is outstanding, he is biased because he comes from a humble background and is too utilitarian. If something happens one day, help me save him if necessary!
"
"..."
"One more thing, the people of Buyeo have been invaded by the Goguryeo people for more than a hundred years, and they can only survive thanks to the support of our Han Dynasty. If you can really invade Goguryeo, but if you recruit someone, they will definitely mobilize the whole country to follow you, and they will risk their lives.
, I am willing to serve as your vanguard!"
Gongsun Yu was walking as he talked, but before his brother Gongsun Xun could agree, he had already disappeared down the hillside.
——————I am from the Northeast and cannot find the dividing line between Sirius————
"The governor of Gongsun Territory is also the prefect of Xuantu. He originally lived in western Liaoning and was a brother of the same clan as Taizu. Later he moved to Xiangping, Liaodong, and became the Gongsun family of Liaodong. He stayed in the border county for decades, and his kindness and majesty spread to far away countries.
Taizu moved to Xiangping, and he was also favored by him. Later, he regarded Taizu as a hero and he was old, so he entrusted the inheritance. Taizu was grateful for his kindness and promised... In the next few decades, Taizu achieved great success.
The system of establishment was different from that of the Han Dynasty, so they did not use the same surname to seal the land. Only the son of the domain, Gongsun Zhi, used his father's virtue to grant the country to the side of Qianshan Mountain in Liaodong (that is, today's Qinggu in Liaodong). After his father died, his son succeeded him, and his son had no daughter.
It has been passed down from generation to generation."——"Dian Lue". Notes by Yan Pei Song
