"Have you actually been charged?" By the candlelight, a tall and thin figure reflected on the wall was slightly startled when he heard the words, and then he couldn't help but shook his head sadly. "I don't want to leave home for several years, but be so unruly, and I don't know the future.
When you leave office and return home, how should you face the incense in the ancestral hall?"
"Teacher, there is no need to be harsh. Senior brother is just like other powerful people in the world. He uses his family background to hide and protect lawless people." A tall and strong figure opposite was somewhat unconcerned. "In today's world, it seems that people acting like this are acting like this.
It's a matter of course. Even Uncle Fang only punished him a little because the Lu family was the top of the local family and it would be difficult to attack others if he didn't deal with it... Even so, it was just a penalty and no loss of dignity.
.”
"Where were you when Governor Guo sent people to break into my house and capture your senior brother?" The tall and thin man, naturally Lu Zhi, sat cross-legged on the futon and glanced at the person in front of him with neither happiness nor anger.
"I...I'm capturing lawless people elsewhere." The strong man, Gongsun Xun, couldn't help but look around.
"Why didn't you go capture your senior brother?" Lu Zhi chased after him.
"Ha!" Gongsun Xun laughed out of embarrassment. "How can there be a student in the world who breaks down the door of his own teacher?"
"Why not?" Lu Zhi continued to ask.
"Because there is no bad teacher in the world!" Gongsun Xun responded solemnly. "At least that's what everyone in the world thinks."
"You came here tonight just to say this, right?" Lu Ziqian asked calmly, as calm as an unfathomable lake. "You know that I was the one who hindered your tenure in the past few years. In the end,
At least from Liaodong to Zhao State, I was the one behind the scenes, so you are now looking for me to give an explanation, show your grievances, and then want me to evade the selection of the commander to help you succeed...right?"
Gongsun Xun was speechless for a while. This is why he hates talking to such smart people. He will always choke you to death if he can't hold it in.
"Wen Qi." Lu Zhi continued to ask. "Do you think I will promise you?"
Gongsun Xun was deep in thought for a long time before he responded with a sigh under the lamp: "Teacher is full of talent and knowledge, and he is loyal. He only serves the country and the country. He has abandoned his family for more than ten years. How could he give up because of my personal request?"
How about putting an end to chaos in the country?"
Lu Zhi sat still: "If you know this, why did you come to me?"
"I always wanted to try it." Gongsun Xun shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I have already gone to look for my father-in-law in the afternoon. I hope he can avoid me and save me from having to come here in vain. After some hard persuasion, my father-in-law
Your Excellency really promised me, so I just thought of coming to your place again to give it a try, maybe there is hope..."
"Wen Qi." Lu Zhi said sternly. "Although your father-in-law is loyal, he only has an only daughter, so he will naturally agree to you. But if you infer from this that I will be in vain for my personal affairs..."
"Teacher." Gongsun Xun suddenly stood up and interrupted the other party. "I am here to serve as a general. How can I be wasting my official duties? When it comes to people, shouldn't we judge the deeds but not the heart? Now that the country is in this situation, do you still want to do it?
Because someone has no fear of someone in his heart, should he restrain himself? No matter what this person is, he is better than those pure Confucian gentlemen who have accomplished nothing, right? The country is in such a situation, who is responsible for it?!"
"I'm not saying that you can't do it." Lu Zhi replied after a while. "What I'm saying is, since I can go there by myself, why should I use you? This time I'm fighting for the general, I just happen to be facing you. It's true.
I have no intention of suppressing you, and I am truly sorry..."
"Teacher, what you do is worthy of your heart, and what I do is also worthy of my heart!" Before the other party could finish speaking, Gongsun Xun angrily walked away. "Just wait and see!"
Under the chaotic candlelight, Lu Zhi remained firm and motionless.
By the way, the place where Lu Zhi lives is still on the east side of Nangong. This area is the so-called "public housing" provided by the imperial court to the young and old officials who enter Luo. However, in fact, except for some people whose families are poor or who have come from afar to stay in Luo Zhong for a short time,
Apart from human beings, few people would live here for a long time. Of course, Lu Ziqian is an exception. From the time he was recruited to Dongguan to compile history, and later he became Cao Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in charge of the election and appointment of officials all over the world, he has always lived here alone.
It's just a place where I was promoted to a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and my residence was a little higher-grade.
"Wen Dian."
"brother"
Gongsun Xun stood in front of the door of Lu Zhi's residence, but he called out to Gongsun Fan who was waiting here, and the latter immediately responded.
"You have been in Luoyang for a long time," Gongsun Xun said with his hands behind his hands, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry. "I have something entrusted to you."
"Brother, just say it bluntly."
"Go and buy some concubines and beautiful maidservants for Master Lu who are clean in everything and come and serve them." Gongsun Xun stared at him expressionlessly and said, "I want the kind that can give birth to children..."
Gongsun Fan stood stunned for a moment, he hesitated to speak several times, but in the end he could only say yes under the gaze of his brother.
After saying such an embarrassing thing, the two brothers did not take a car or ride a horse. They only walked out of the area on the east side of Nangong, surrounded by a few attendants, until they reached the dimly lit street where cars and horses continued.
Only then did he get into the car, and the attendants also mounted their horses, escorting their master to Liu Kuan's place.
Luoyang at the end of March was not depressed because the Yellow Turban Uprising swept away most of Guandong. On the contrary, due to a strange and tense atmosphere, Luoyang actually seemed to be a little more lively than usual. Looking around, there were servants of wealthy families everywhere.
Roads were opened on all sides, and chariots, horses and ceremonial guards also moved everywhere.
For those who don’t know, I might think that the New Year is approaching!
The car was moving very slowly. Gongsun Xun and Gongsun Fan were sitting in the car chatting constantly. At this time, they were talking about various news from Luozhong. It was probably that the current situation was too serious and tense, and it was also unclear.
As they talked, they found that they couldn't proceed at all. Instead, they could only talk about some anecdotes in Luozhong before the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
"Brother, I don't know." Gongsun Fansha said with a smile. "There are often sharp newcomers in Luozhong who are famous in the world. But before the Yellow Turbans rebelled, just like my brother's White Horse Zhonglang became famous in Luozhong in the past, the Yushitai was also famous at that time.
There happened to be a person who liked riding horses, so he was known as the Censor of Cong Horses. This person repeatedly impeached eunuchs and picked up the eunuchs' children. He was just as ruthless as Cao Mengde killed Uncle Jian Shuo when he came out of the mountain that day..."
"I have heard about this man." Gongsun Xun had also heard about it. "Huan Dian, his grandfather was a Taiwei, and his family has been married to Yuan Yang for several generations. It is a well-known Confucian family in the world. If it weren't for Huan Dian's father being weak and sick, he had never been an official.
, and now he is also a minister of the past... When the heir of such a family comes to serve as an official, even the eunuch must be given some face."
"Brother is absolutely right." Gongsun Fan replied calmly. "However, in fact, in recent years, the arrogance of the eunuchs has been too arrogant, and almost no one can control it. Therefore, the Congma Yushi once targeted the eunuchs' children and got good results.
Great reputation."
"I know." Gongsun Xun couldn't help sighing after hearing this. "I have been in Hebei for several years. How could I not know that the world has not been straight to Beigong for a long time?!"
There was some ambiguity in this sentence, and since he was on the street, Gongsun Fan didn't know how to respond for a moment, and Gongsun Xun also noticed it, so he couldn't help but laugh to cover it up.
The two brothers were silent for a moment, but when Gongsun Fan calmed down and was about to change the topic, his body suddenly swayed... It turned out that a car suddenly stopped in front of the two people's car, forcing them to stop.
He said that the people in the car on the opposite side stood up and shouted Gongsun Xun:
"Wen Qi! But Wen Qi came to Luoyang?"
Several knights behind him had angry expressions on their faces... When it came to Gongsun Xun, few people could actually call him by his name anymore, let alone someone like the man in front of him who stopped a car in the street and then called his lord by his first name?
Moreover, looking at the shape of the opponent, there is no seal on his body, and the beam crown is just a beam, as if he is a white body!
However, when Gongsun Xun heard this voice, he didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Brother Ziyuan, you are fine!"
"Oh, so what if I'm fine? How can I compare to Wenqi, who has a purple ribbon and a golden seal, and was granted the title of general at such a young age?" Xu You, who was in the opposite car, was pretending, twirling his beard and sighing.
Gongsun Xun laughed more and more, but he winked at Gongsun Fan, and then got out of the car directly and went to the other party's car. Gongsun Fan had no choice but to say goodbye with a slight hand, and went back first.
Gongsun Xun and Xu You watched Gongsun Fan's car disappear on the road, then they looked at each other and smiled, and then drove the car straight to the side of the road... It turned out that these two people had similar odors and called themselves close friends. They had always known each other.
of:
Gongsun Xun knows that as long as you promise money, Xu Ziyuan will do his best to help you; and Xu You also knows that Gongsun Wenqi is an honest person, as long as you help him accomplish things or provide valuable services.
message, then your money will never be lost!
Therefore, the two of them didn't even have any foreplay, and just took advantage of the twilight to cover up their business, and started trading straight to the point at the entrance of the roadside alley in Luoyang city.
"Wen Qi doesn't know yet?" Xu You couldn't help laughing in a low voice. "After Huangfu Song's memorial was delivered the day before yesterday, the emperor also knew that the eunuchs had to listen to the opinions of the eunuchs regarding the party's imprisonment, so he summoned all the eunuchs this afternoon.
The attendant asked about this matter, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Lü Qiang and Lü Changshi bluntly said that the current situation is critical. If the party cannot be restrained, the party members may join forces with the Yellow Turban thieves, and the Han Dynasty will be unsafe!"
"How did the emperor and the other ministers react?" Gongsun Xun asked seriously.
"How can you react?" Xu You was still disdainful. "The emperor immediately lost his temper... He has been so frightened these days! And although the regular attendants are full of resentment towards Lv Changshi, they can't refute it. To be honest, Wen Qi
, after decades, this matter of party imprisonment will finally come to an end, and the situation in the court will not be the same as it was in the past."
Gongsun Xun nodded slowly... The party members who were supervised by the party were originally concentrated in Ruying Wanluo in Henan and Qinghe in Hebei. The Weijun area is now the main place where the Yellow Turban Army is entrenched. From the emperor's point of view, that is,
No wonder you are worried.
But having said that, if the Han Dynasty had not lost all the people in these places, how could the Yellow Turban Army have quickly raided these places?
After thinking about this, Gongsun Xun suddenly asked a somewhat absurd question: "Brother Ziyuan, tell me the truth. The Yellow Turban thieves suddenly seized Qinghe and raided Yingchuan, Runan, and Nanyang. Is it because of you?"
Xu You was startled when he heard this, but then shook his head: "I understand what Wen Qi means. In fact, if you say that you indulge a little intentionally or unintentionally, maybe you do, but if you talk about secretly colluding to force the Han Dynasty, I'm afraid it's
Some people think that I have waited for you! If nothing else, the Yellow Turban bandits have raided more than 20 counties in one month. If there is really collusion, we will not ask people to be expelled from the party... and just let them go to Luoyang.
Is it not good?"
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but shake his head, as if he felt that he had indeed overthought: "Brother Ziyuan... let me ask you something again, is Huangfu Song your secret contact?"
Xu You still shook his head: "I can vouch for this matter with Wen Qi. Indeed, it has nothing to do with us. It was Huangfu Yizhen who suddenly submitted a letter... In fact, to be honest with Wen Qi, Ben Chu did have this theory before, and he is responsible for it.
It is I, Xu You, who is responsible for this matter. We originally wanted to wait for the generals to enter Luo before contacting each other privately. Who would have thought that Huangfu Yizhen would have the legacy of his uncle and act with such discernment!"
What Xu You is talking about about his uncle's legacy refers to the story of Huangfu Song's uncle, Huangfu Gui, one of the Three Ming Dynasties in Liangzhou in the past.
It is said that when Emperor Huan launched the first party ban, everyone avoided it, but Huangfu Gui actually took the initiative to write to the court, saying that he had always envied the knowledge and morality of those party members, and asked the court to treat him as a party member...
Emperor Huan was not the emperor he is today. He knew better than anyone else, so he ignored it and threw the memorial away.
However, from then on, scholars no longer regarded the Huangfu family as a simple family of generals, but as one of their own.
In other words, whether he really wants to get closer to the nobles or is good at speculation, this is not the first time that the Huangfu family has done this kind of thing.
As for the Gongsun family? If someone really had the foresight, there would be no need for Gongsun Xun to risk his life and accompany Yang Qiu in Luozhong to chop up Wang Fu as dumpling stuffing.
But now, Huangfu Song's flamboyant memorial has once again suppressed Gongsun Xun... It can only be said that in terms of speculation alone, it is really irritating to people. No wonder Gongsun Xun was filled with emotion after hearing this.
"Wen Qi." Xu You twisted his beard and said with a smile when he saw this. "Since the party's openness has become a foregone conclusion, then the DPRK will definitely mobilize a large number of troops to go out to fight. Although you arrived first this time, you were overtaken by others...
If you still want to be the coach all the way, it will be a little difficult, right?!"
"Brother Ziyuan is still so smart." Gongsun Xun said simply. "I'm not going to argue with Huangfu Song, but I can't let the wise men in Luozhong forget me, right? I wonder if Brother Ziyuan can replace me?"
Shall I create public opinion?"
The so-called creating public opinion means asking party members and scholars to at least not hinder Gongsun Xun. How could Xu Ziyuan not understand this?
"If it's just to create public opinion, it would be easy." Sure enough, Xu You couldn't help laughing after hearing the words and thinking about it for a moment. "Now that the party members are about to rise, I am considered a powerful person in Yuan Benchu... It's just that in the situation in front of you, a teacher,
Being a father-in-law is quite difficult, right?"
"You only need to 'create public opinion', and don't worry about anything else. I have my own strategy." Gongsun Xun suddenly interrupted the other party and said solemnly. "If it goes through, Xun is the coach who will maintain integrity all the way, so why not give you five hundred
Money? And if things don’t work out, even though I have a lot of money, I won’t have a penny to give you!”
Xu You immediately became solemn and then high-fived the person in front of him as an oath.
March passed in a hurry, and April arrived in panic.
By the beginning of April, as expected from various gossips, the current day simply couldn’t bear the Yellow Turban Army getting bigger and bigger, let alone allowing the Yellow Turban Army to pose an increasing threat to Luoyang... You must know that the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army
They had already tried to attack Yangzhai and asked about the gate... So the emperor and the court finally decided to let go of everything and mobilize all their forces to deal with the situation at hand.
On the day of Renzi in the fourth month, the emperor passed by the Huangmen Prison, and the Chancellor issued a series of formal edicts:
Lift the prison of the Party; grant amnesty to the whole country and recall all immigrants, except for the Yellow Turban thieves; distribute the money hidden in the West Garden and horses for military use; order the noble family to donate horse crossbows and materials; prepare the five schools of the Northern Army and recruit the Knights of Three Rivers
, elite soldiers from all walks of life in the world; he also ordered the ministers from all walks of life in the court to recommend military talents, and recommended the children of general families. He even allowed anyone who had the heart to serve the country and thought he had general talents to go to the public transport department to recommend himself as a general!
Gongsun Xun was not willing to lag behind. He did not have time to visit his old friends in Luozhong, so he hurriedly wrote a letter to express his opinions. In addition to recommending himself, he also wrote directly from the public transport department, recommending Cheng Pu, Gao Shun and Cheng Lian who were in Yanmen, as well as those who were in the Northern Army.
Captain Xu Rong, and Dong Zhao from the Kingdom of Zhao!
These people are imperial officials and must submit letters in advance to respond.
But just two or three days later, as Huangfu Song and other disciples from the Kansai general family arrived in Luoyang, the imperial court officially held a meeting to openly discuss the strategy of entering the army and select generals.
This is not a formal imperial meeting, and there is no time for such ceremonial things now, but the meeting still includes almost all the two thousand stones in the imperial court... Among them, Gongsun Xun, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun, because their status is high enough
, was able to go directly to the Nangong Jiade Hall to attend the discussion.
After the meeting began, Huangfu Song almost stole the limelight, because almost all the ministers recommended him immediately, and Huangfu Yizhen himself also presented the strategy to the Emperor Gaozong, and he spoke clearly and clearly.
Correspondingly, the emperor did not hesitate and immediately made a plan for Huangfu Song to be the commander in chief of the south, and he would lead troops to attack the Yellow Turbans of Yingchuan.
There is no way, no matter who is the emperor, he should choose Huangfu Song. This is not only because this person is a general, and his military ability is recognized by everyone; not only because this person is more than fifty years old, he looks more reliable;
The important point is that Lu Qiang’s previous warning to prevent party members from joining forces with the Yellow Turban thieves is still in the emperor’s ears. Therefore, facing Yingchuan and Runan where party members are everywhere, gaining the trust of party members seems to be the only way to go.
The greatest prerequisite for a general.
On this point, no one can compete with Huangfu Song... the emperor cannot change it.
Next, there is the second coach... This is also extremely important, because no matter what, someone has to go to Hebei to take charge of the overall situation!
That was Zhang Jue's main force, and Jizhou, the hinterland of Hebei, which the Han Dynasty had always relied on in the past, was now more than half in ruins.
However, things seem to get interesting from here on out.
"Your Majesty, Zongzheng Liu Yan, recommends the governor of Zhuo County, Gongsun Xun, Marquis of Wuluting." The person who came up to recommend Gongsun Xun was Zongzheng Liu Yan. Liu Junlang, who had been greeted by Gongsun Xun a few days ago, said it with certainty. "Gongsun Xun."
The governor has successively served as the governor of Handan, the governor of Zhongshan, and the governor of Zhuojun. He is well aware of the geography of Hebei. This time, he was the first to destroy the Yellow Turbans of Guangyang and recover Youzhou, with outstanding achievements. Moreover, he was the first to ask for war, and his loyalty and bravery were known to everyone in the world.
What’s more, when the Yellow Turban Bandits were not in chaos, Grand Administrator Gongsun was still the Administrator of Zhongshan, and he wrote a letter bluntly stating the dangers of the Taiping Demon Path and asking for punishment, which shows that he was quite aware of the Taiping Path..."
"Is there such a thing?" The emperor was quite shocked.
"I, Gongsun Xun, the governor of Zhuo County, report back to your majesty." Gongsun Xun, who only had socks on his feet, held a wat board in his hand, and immediately stood out from the crowd. "I am not the only one who knows the dangers of Taiping Road. Taiwei Liu Gong, Situ Yang Gong,
Former Shangshu Liu Tao, Liu Gong, and... Zongzheng, Liu Yan, Liu Gong, all wrote letters about this matter. What Zongzheng said this time should be that when I went to Zhongshan to Luozhong, I was first under the supervision of Liu Zong, who was the governor of Jizhou at the time.
As entrusted by the company, please see Mr. Situ Yang later, and then jointly submit the report."
"That's it." The emperor looked green and thin. Hearing this, he glanced at Yang Ci, who had his eyes closed, and Liu Yan, who had a sincere look on his face. However, he put the matter aside for the time being, and then took advantage of the situation to ask Gongsun Xun about his strategy for defeating the enemy.
"If I take you as a general, how should I deal with the situation in Hebei?"
"Reporting to your majesty, I will just behead him!" Gongsun Xun was actually prepared. "Hebei has ruined several counties and lost dozens of cities. If we plan to do it slowly, I am afraid that if we lose it slowly, there will be changes later! Therefore, it is better to gather troops.
Attack from the north and the south together, taking Youzhou soldiers and horses all the way to capture Zhang Bao in the north, and bringing together the elite troops of Liang and the Central Government all the way, and capture Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang in the south. If the three thieves attack together, the lost territory in Hebei can be recovered in one fell swoop."
The emperor nodded slowly, seeming to agree.
However, at this moment, a person suddenly lined up and came out. It turned out to be General He Jin who had been stationed outside the city: "Your Majesty, minister, General He Jin has something to say."
"General, please speak." Of course the emperor would give face to his brother-in-law.
In fact, if the emperor could not trust his brother-in-law, how could he make him a general as soon as the chaos broke out? It is human nature to employ nepotism.
"Your Majesty." He Suigao was just over thirty this year. He was surrounded by jade trees and looked majestic. He stood proudly in the palace, which was quite impressive. "I think the strategy spoken by Grand Administrator Gongsun is excellent. But.
Nowadays, the bandit army is powerful, and the imperial court hastily responded to the battle, but it must also be cautious."
"What does the general mean?" The emperor couldn't help but frown.
"The minister's strategy is excellent, but Grand Administrator Gongsun is too young to be a general." He Jin immediately replied. "Your Majesty, I have always been in contact with Grand Administrator Gongsun, and I know that although he is good at using soldiers, he is only good at using cavalry.
Field warfare is not good at attacking fortified cities and besieging them... There are many fortified cities in Hebei. The so-called beheading may only be done by besieging a big city. In this case, it is better to adopt the so-called "beheading" strategy of Gongsun Prefect and replace it with an older general to supervise the army in the north.
!”
All the ministers in the hall nodded for a moment... After all, Gongsun Xun was too young. Although he had spoken loudly before, he had to leave the matter of the rise and fall of the country to him. What if he was defeated in Hebei and Zhang Jiao's army pressed into Luoyang?
what to do?
"Do you have a candidate for the general?" The emperor thought for a moment and nodded immediately.
"I think that Duke Guang Luxun, Zhao Bao and Zhao Gong, who has always known military skills and is from Qinghe, may be able to serve as the chief general in the north!" He Jin immediately recommended someone.
As soon as this statement came out, Zhao Bao immediately generously asked for the battle. Many ministers and even the ministers praised this candidate. However, among them, Lu Zhi, Cao Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, did not have time to express his stance. Instead, he couldn't help but glance at his own man standing in the palace.
The student still had an expressionless face.
By the way, at this point, Lu Zigan still didn’t understand why he had clearly fallen into a trap!
Gongsun Xun did not convince his father-in-law at all. His father-in-law Zhao Bao was obviously loyal, so he refused to give in, okay? When this guy went to see him that day, he was simply intimidated by his father-in-law, and then deliberately stimulated him to take the initiative to fight for the general.
Suppress his father-in-law Zhao Bao!
After all, if he were a general, Gongsun Xun could be a general elsewhere, but if Zhao Bao was Chijie, how could the court appoint both Weng and his son-in-law at the same time?
I just don’t know where this kid’s future plans will be.
However, there was no time to think too much... At this moment, many ministers who had been entrusted by Lu Zhi, including Taiwei Liu Kuan, Situ Yang Ci, and Sikong Yuan Wei, had already come forward one after another and recommended him to Lu Ziqian to deal with Zhang in the north with integrity.
Cornered.
Lu Zhi himself was eager to serve the country, but he could only temporarily suppress his thoughts and immediately went out to ask himself to be a general.
Sure enough, Zhao Bao glanced at Lu Zhi, then at his son-in-law, and simply gave in - although he would not take the initiative to refuse because of his son-in-law's private request, but since Lu Zhi came to fight, there was no need for him to continue.
What's the matter, because he is also convinced by Lu Ziqian, and with these three princes coming together, how can he possibly win?
Not to mention, this way, you don't have to worry about delaying your son-in-law's success.
Immediately, Gongsun Xun also invited Lu Zhi to be his general as a teacher and student.
Seeing this scene, Lu Ziqian felt even more surprised, but he couldn't think too much about it. Instead, he could only hold his head high and generously invite him out of Hebei.
The emperor already had a good impression of Lu Zhi and had always trusted him. Now most of the ministers recommended him, and the other two generals took the initiative to resign. After greatly encouraging him, he directly decided that Lu Zhi should go north to take charge of Hebei.
Military matter.
And then, the ministers elected Zhu Jun as the south general, Gongsun Xun and Guo Xun as the north generals, each recruited troops in Yangzhou and Youzhou, and then assisted Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, attacking from both sides... This kind of thing is reasonable and reasonable.
, seems to be a foregone conclusion.
However, there is a problem here. The main force of the Yellow Turban Army in the south is scattered in three places. Therefore, after Yingchuan, Zhu Jun will definitely separate his forces from Huangfu Song in the future, so they should be restrained. But the Youzhou Army only has to face a defensive rear.
Zhang Bao... Guo Xun and Gongsun Xun, an older governor of Youzhou, and a feudal governor, who will uphold the integrity?
There were actually many ministers who supported Gongsun Xun, but after a dispute, it was Gongsun Xun who took the initiative to ask for the concession. On the grounds that Guo Xun's responsibilities were his own, he suggested that the other party should be responsible for the military affairs of Youzhou. He could do his job safely in Zhuojun.
Just the logistics... things seem to be going well again.
But at this moment, General He Jin came out again to ask for words: "I have another plan, which may be able to quickly defeat the Yellow Turban thieves."
"General, please speak." Of course the emperor is not unreasonable.
"Your Majesty," He Jin said seriously. "Nanyang is my hometown, and Yingchuan is where I work. Therefore, I have always known that the water network there is not conducive to cavalry. So, why not dispatch the cavalry and concentrate it elsewhere?
?”
"Does the general mean to concentrate the cavalry in Hebei?" Yang Biao, the handsome general who had been silent until now, suddenly interrupted, causing his father, who had been closing his eyes to meditate since he recommended Lu Zhi, to suddenly open his eyes.
Eyes, but immediately closed them.
"No." He Jin said sternly. "I think that Gongsun, the prefect, makes good use of cavalry and uses his generals as assistants to his subordinate generals, which is inappropriate. And the Yellow Turban bandits in Dongjun have captured twelve cities in a row and supported the troops.
Tens of thousands, it seems that there is a tendency to corrupt Yanzhou, connect Henan and Hebei, and become a nuisance to the inner circle. In this case, why not use Grand Administrator Gongsun as the general, governor of Hanoi, Bingzhou, and Luozhong cavalry to quickly go down the river to sweep the East County and separate the north and the south to determine the
What about the situation?! If it goes through, we can use the speed of the cavalry to support other situations."
Gongsun Xun immediately took advantage of the situation and asked for a fight again. Of course, this time he invited himself out of Dongjun!
"But if this is the case, how many cavalry should be dispatched?" Yang Biao seemed to be at odds with the general. "If there are too many dispatches, will it affect the battle situation in Yingchuan?"
"No." He Jin immediately replied. "Gongsun Grand Administrator has brought three thousand cavalry from Youzhou. Bingzhou can also transfer two thousand from Yanmen and Taiyuan, and Luozhong is not asking for any elite cavalry.
I want your Majesty to send thousands of horses to the West Garden Gallery, and then recruit Sanhe knights on the spot... With Gongsun's ability, three thousand cavalry can defeat the Guangyang Yellow Turban and sweep away Taihang. If he can fight with his seven thousand cavalry, we can come here.
It’s enough to travel up and down the river!”
Yang Biao was speechless for a moment, just looking thoughtful.
In fact, like all the ministers, the emperor was unable to react in time, because his original intention was to capture Yingchuan first and then raid other places. But according to what He Jin said, only seven or eight thousand cavalry were needed, especially without Gongsun Xun's belt.
The 3,000 Youzhou surprise cavalry came, and the 2,000 Bingzhou soldiers and horses were recruited. Now, only three or four thousand Langma are enough to sweep the East County and prevent the Yellow Turban thieves from joining together, which makes people hesitate for a moment.
.
In addition, the emperor also needs to consider helping to establish the prestige of the general. Zhao Bao, whom He Jin recommended just now, has been rejected by everyone, so what happens this time?
Correspondingly, the ministers in the court also had a lot of thoughts at this time. For example, they had to consider Gongsun Xun's mentality. He had repeatedly given in. Should he ask him to give in again this time? At the very least, he should not say such offending words himself.
Better?
So, with all kinds of thoughts, the emperor and many ministers in the palace did not object, but were somewhat moved... It might be a good idea to lead the cavalry out of Dongjun along the river, separate the north and the south, and form their own areas!
In fact, even Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun did not refute the fact that they were about to be assigned horses, because they also needed to respect the new general and Gongsun Xun, who was also two thousand stones and well-known.
However, the reason why these potential opponents did not speak out had another most direct reason - General Yang Biao, the legitimate son of the Yang family, inexplicably acted as an opponent at this time.
This opponent has enough weight that they don't seem to need to speak.
"If there are only seven or eight thousand cavalry." At this moment, Yang Biao, the seemingly only opponent, suddenly bowed to the emperor and saluted. "I think it is feasible! Moreover, Dongjun is far away and has lost twelve cities.
, I should ask Grand Administrator Gongsun to resign from Zhuo County and go there with integrity in the name of General Wuganzhonglang, because according to the etiquette system, General Wuganzhonglang is the duty of the governor of chariots... The state is in danger, and I am willing to resign and make way for someone more worthy."
In an instant, everyone in the palace almost instinctively praised Yang Biao for the smooth 'resolution' of the matter, and the emperor was also very happy for a moment.
Only Situ Yang Ci couldn't help but open his eyes again and looked at his son expressionlessly. He didn't know why his son had always wanted to be a scholar. Huangfu Song had learned about the matter of lifting the imprisonment of the party, and he couldn't help but feel in his heart.
The imbalance was taken advantage of by Gongsun Xun.
Of course, this is nothing after all, Yang Ci thought as he closed his eyes again, like Liu Kuan and Yuan Wei who had not spoken for a long time beside him, they were like wood carvings again.
As a result, with the approval of most people, the emperor recognized the matter and added Yang Biao as a powerful general and still stayed in the palace to show his honor and favor.
On that day, the emperor issued an edict: to worship Huangfu Song, the governor of the north, as Zuo Zhonglang general, to hold the festival, and to station in Hedong until all the troops were ready before leaving Yingchuan;
He advised the official Zhu Jun to be the right middle man general, and to maintain integrity, he led the troops out of Changshe first in order to join Xu Yang and recruit troops;
In the service, Lu Zhi, Cao Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is the general of Beizhonglang. He is stationed in Luoyang and will leave Wei County when all the troops are ready.
Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, stationed himself in Zhuo County, waiting for troops and horses to be ready, and led all the tribes of Youzhou out of Gaoyang;
Gongsun Xun, the prefect of Zhuojun, is a general with five senses and is stationed in Hanoi until all the troops are ready before leaving Dongjun.
Three days later, the emperor issued another edict: Zong Yuan was appointed as the Wuhuan Colonel Protector, under Guo Xun; Yilang Cao Cao was appointed as the Cavalry Commander, under Gongsun Xun.
——————I am the dividing line between retreat and advancement——————
"It may be said that Dong Zhongying was violent and violent, Liu Bo'an was fishing for fame, the prince was strong but incompetent, and Yang Wen advanced and retreated without any basis." - "Old Yanshu" Volume 62. Biography No. 12
ps: Sorry for being so late. The main thing is that this chapter... shouldn't be divided into chapters? So I gritted my teeth and finished it before posting... I hope everyone understands. One more sentence, Yang Biao's advance and retreat without any basis is Qianlong's evaluation of him.
