Chapter 16: Li Guang's Reactive Predestined Fate is Odd (Remastered)
The whole night was silent, and on the second day, which was the ninth day of the first lunar month, Gai Yuangu did a great job communicating. Gongsun Xun made an appointment with Han Sui, Dong Zhuo made an appointment with Ma Teng, and Huangfu Song made an appointment with Wang Guo.
promise.
After all, let alone the fact that the rebels were frightened and suspicious when they saw the Han army suddenly moving camp and approaching, the prestige of Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song in Liangzhou was absolutely unmatched by the third person. I think it was Gai Xun who was surrounded by the rebels in the first place
These people were able to take the initiative to let Fu Xie go. Even when Fu Xie was surrounded, there were rebels who were willing to take the initiative to let him go home... let alone these two people meeting? In fact, even the Han army was not universal.
What words of advice, because Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song are the greatest safety guarantees.
In this way, it was Gongsun Xun who took advantage of the prestige of Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song. However, it is also true that he had a personal relationship with Han Sui, not to mention his rank.
As for the two treasonous Liangzhou governors, no one paid attention to them, because everyone knew that it was impossible for these two people to come to see the commander-in-chief of the army, especially since Fu Xie had scolded one of them in person before he died that day, and said
With his death, he set the most direct example of the duty of guarding the land as the prefect of Liangqianshi.
After this incident, what can they do when they come to see the commander-in-chief of the army? Should they confront the other party, or should they get scolded again?
Now, at the agreed noon time, both sides indeed led 3,000 cavalry to raid the formation as agreed, and came to the middle of the two armies' camps, stabilizing their positions two to three hundred steps apart.
Then, Gongsun Xun took the lead. Han Dang, who was riding a horse with only a bow, and Jia Xu, who was carrying a small package, left the umbrella cover of the ceremonial guard and took the initiative to move forward. What kind of people were Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song? Naturally, they would not do anything.
Feeling frightened, the two of them saw this and followed the agreement, leading a warrior and a scribe to follow Gongsun Xun forward to the rebel formation.
The three commanders of the army and the army were so magnanimous, which made Guo Guo, Ma Teng, and Han Sui, who were a little hesitant at first, feel embarrassed for a moment. You must know that these people were a little ashamed of themselves when facing the three opposite them. Even Han Sui did not feel that he had any
How could he be compared with the three people across from him, so how could he dare to delay? For a while, the three of them also only attracted one warrior each, and hurriedly stepped forward with their confidants.
When the two sides got close, Dong Zhuo suddenly dismounted first, which shocked all the nine people on the opposite side.
Seeing this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help holding his belt and laughing from a distance: "I am old and fat, and it is inconvenient to talk on horseback. It makes you a joke to all the Liangzhou villagers... But it's okay, come down as soon as you come down. It will be easier to talk to people like Shoucheng and others."
, you might as well do it yourself.”
Ma Teng naturally said he didn't dare, and then took the initiative to greet him.
The rest of the kingdom and Han Sui looked at each other without saying a word. In the end, they did not mount their horses again, but stood where they were. After Gongsun Xun and Huangfu Song arrived, they bowed their heads and saluted again.
Not to mention how Huangfu Song faced the kingdom, Gongsun Xun simply jumped off his horse, took the initiative to step forward and held Han Wenyue's hand to help him up, and then was speechless for a moment.
Even Han Sui raised his head and looked at Gongsun Xun, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
The relationship between the two was said to be a test of time, but things were always changing every time they met, so how could there not be some sincere feelings?
After a long while, Gongsun Xun finally spoke first, but he was still bleak: "Brother Wenyue, when we were young and frivolous, you and I met in Luozhong. At that time, you told me that the things in the world are obscure and indescribable. Let's make friends with each other.
, it will be convenient to meet each other in the future... But who would have thought that after we said goodbye in Hanoi, we would meet in front of the two armies?"
Han Sui looked at the other party's face and could only shake hands and sigh: "General Wei, in Luoyang that day, I said that all the people in the DPRK regard Xiliang as a frontier land, and sooner or later there will be chaos; in Hanoi, I said that if we can't punish him as soon as possible,
Huan, then Xiliang will inevitably have a reversal... Now that we are facing each other, it can only be said to be God's will, right?"
Gongsun Xun listened to the other party's obvious words of innocence, but he laughed for a moment: "What talk about General Wei? You and I have been friends for more than ten years, just call me by my name. It's just Brother Wenyue, if we continue to talk like this, what will happen next?"
Should I tell you now that the eunuch in Luozhong is about to be executed, why not just surrender? Yesterday's letter clearly stated that today we will only talk about personal friendship, regardless of the past, so there is no need to say more about this kind of thing."
"I made a mistake." Han Sui couldn't help but smile in embarrassment. "These two people and the general of the guard... Let me introduce to Wen Qi, Cheng Gongying, Cheng Gong Shirong, do you remember Wen Qi?"
Gongsun Xun was not in a hurry, and then stepped forward and took Cheng Gongying's hand with a smile: "Shirong refused my solicitation that day, but it makes me feel sad to this day."
Cheng Gongying was held in both hands and could not bow to salute, so he had no choice but to lower his head: "Those who betray the country are wrongly loved by their kings."
Gongsun Xun laughed again, but did not say much, but looked at the guard behind him: "I thought I would see Pang Lingming, who is this?"
"This is Yan Xing, a native of our country, who is quite brave." Han Sui said casually. "As for Pang Lingming, Liangzhou is in chaos, and he has formed a stronghold with the locals to protect himself. He is not following the army this time."
"So that's it." Gongsun Xun didn't take it seriously either. He just accepted Yan's salute calmly, then turned and pointed at Jia Xu. "Yi Gong won't introduce much. Wen Yue naturally recognizes me. My military commander, Jia Xu, Jia Wen
He was Wu Wei Xiaolian more than ten years ago, you should know each other, right?"
Han Sui became more and more disappointed: "How can we not recognize the famous people from the neighboring counties? I didn't expect to meet in front of the battle today, but most of them are old friends!"
Gongsun Xun's smile did not diminish: "Speaking of old friends, does Wen Yue know why I am the commander-in-chief supervising Guanzhong Affairs today? In fact, it is also because of an old friend."
Han Sui was naturally confused.
Gongsun Xun, however, did not shy away from telling the truth about the overt and covert conflicts between himself and Yuan Benchu. He only said that both of them were interested in Luozhong affairs and were trying to undermine each other, so one went west to Guanzhong to serve as commander, and the other went east to Runan to recruit troops.
After saying this, he actually felt a little smug: "Wen Yue, Yuan Benchu, who used to look down on you and me because we were from border counties, is now acting on behalf of the Yuan family and occupying Luoyang's geographical advantage, but he can only do so with me.
It’s just the same…”
"That's because Wen Qi is self-reliant and can be powerful in the world alone... How can Yuan Benchu compare to you?" Han Sui immediately agreed, but turned around and asked, "I don't know what your brother Gong Sun Bogui is like.
Where is my younger clan brother Gongsun Yue now?"
Gongsun Xun naturally didn't hide anything, so he talked about Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Yue's experiences over the years. After finishing talking, he asked about his wife and children. Han Sui also answered them one by one, without hiding anything.
In short, when the two of them talked about it in detail, it turned out that they really just talked about their personal friendship, no matter what else, not only that, but also Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, Wang Guo, Ma Teng and others next to them.
After talking for a long time, I saw that the sun was going to the west, but suddenly I heard a noise next to me.
It turned out that Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng were chatting there, but they talked about a Qiang marshal who was acquainted with each other. It was said that he was also in the opposite formation. Dong Zhuo wanted to meet him, and Ma Teng also wanted to call someone over, but due to the agreement between the two parties,
It was not easy to call someone over privately, so he asked the Qiang warrior who was following him to go back and replace him.
Unexpectedly, Dong Zhongying didn't take it seriously. He actually held his belt with one hand and dragged Ma Teng with the other, walking forward with only the two people who were following him on this trip. That is, his two sons-in-law, Niu Fu and Li Ru.
, walked dozens of steps away, and then directly approached the battle and shouted the name of the Qiang hero.
The rebel formation on the opposite side was in commotion for a while, and the Han army behind them was also a little shaken. Ma Teng was also nervous. However, as the handsome commander came out of the formation in surprise and knelt down in front of Dong Zhuo, the Han army calmed down.
The reason why it is said that the Han army was stabilized is because after Dong Zhuo stepped forward to call for help, the officers in the opposite formation crowded forward one after another, vying to be the first to see Dong Zhongying, who had been famous in Liangzhou for decades.
Dong Zhuo didn't take it seriously when he saw this. He just laughed and shook off Niu Fu's obstruction. He took the hand of the handsome man who had just been lifted up and moved forward again. He had almost reached the front of the rebel formation, and then he pointed with his finger.
To eat my own belly:
"Do you people from Liangzhou want to take a look at me, Dong Zhuo? I don't have much to look at, except that I have become fatter as I get older. This belly is worth taking a look at..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Han and Qiang leaders in the rebel army on the opposite side burst into laughter, and then, whoever took the lead, these people dismounted their horses and saluted... Most of the Qiang leaders knelt down, while the Han leaders mostly bowed and saluted.
Called General.
Dong Zhuo laughed even more when he saw this. He actually stepped forward alone and helped the enemy leaders up one by one.
Behind them, Huangfu Song and Gongsun Xun looked at each other, laughed and shook their heads. Then they each dragged Guo Guo and Han Sui, strode forward, and followed them.
Of course, there is no need to say more about Huangfu Song. Who in Liangzhou doesn't know him? For a while, the Qiang Han heroes in Liangzhou saluted again, either kneeling or bowing, or calling themselves "sir" according to the custom of border counties, or "general" according to their official rank.
.
However, when Gongsun Xun moved forward, these people became a little hesitant... After all, compared with the previous two, Gongsun Xun was still too young, and he was really unfamiliar.
Han Sui laughed out of embarrassment and had to introduce himself quickly: "This is General Wei, Jihou, Gongsun Xun of Liaoxi..."
When the Xiliang rebels heard this, most of the Han leaders were former officers and soldiers, so they naturally knew the importance, so they also followed suit and saluted again. However, the Qiang people did not really have much reaction.
"No matter how much Mr. Han talks, we still don't know who he is..." Marshal Youqiang simply said bluntly in wrinkled Chinese. "I wonder if this general is bigger or smaller than Mr. Dong and Mr. Huangfu?"
"That's great!" Han Sui told him seriously. "The Han army facing us this time is led by General Wei."
All the Qiang commanders were still hesitant, but Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song were speechless. Instead, one touched their stomachs and the other pinched their beards, as if they were still resentful, and they seemed to be laughing.
"Brother Wenyue, why do you have to say these things that they don't understand?" Gongsun Xun was not anxious at all when he saw this. Instead, he laughed and said, "I don't believe it anymore. None of you people went out to fight with Dong Gong and Huangfu Gong that day.
Have you ever heard of my name as General White Horse?"
Hearing the last title, a Qiang commander was surprised for a moment: "We often hear the Xianbei and Huns talk about the reputation of General White Horse in the north. They all say that there is a Han Chinese General White Horse in the east who is always good at fighting...
Could it be that he is the general?"
"There is no second White Horse General in the world!" Han Sui told him more seriously. "You just mentioned Xianbei people, but I forgot to tell you that in the early years, when this White Horse General was just over 20 years old, he went out to the fortress and burned
The royal court of Tan Shihuai Khan... you will never forget this!"
All the Qiang commanders were shocked for a moment, and then actually knelt down to salute. Gongsun Xun ignored the smell of sheep on these people and hurriedly stepped forward to help them up.
After getting up, a Qiang commander looked behind Gongsun Xun and others, and asked an interesting question: "I dare to ask General White Horse, I heard that your mounts are always white horses. I didn't think about it just now, but now I look at it."
, may I ask which one it is?"
Just in case, Han Dang brought the horses over early, but Gongsun Xun didn't take it seriously and turned around to point it out to him.
However, after seeing this, the man was very disdainful: "The general is famous all over the world for his white horse. We all know the people in the east and we in the west, why do you ride such an ordinary white horse?"
In this situation, Gongsun Xun naturally wouldn't say that he didn't need to charge into battle, and that the real best white horses were given to the warriors.
In fact, after a moment's thought, General Wei pointed at Dong Zhuo's belly and said sternly: "I'm afraid you Liangzhou warriors don't know that Dong Gong is good at drinking. He only drinks fine wine every day in my camp. He was in Lianshui before."
After more than a month on the east side, he drank up all the wine in my camp, so I had no choice but to sell my good horse to buy wine with him... His belly was more or less bought by me in exchange for my own mount!"
When all the rebel commanders heard this, they laughed one after another. Dong Zhuo also stroked his belly and raised his head and laughed. The somewhat serious atmosphere before the battle due to the arrival of the stranger Gongsun Xun suddenly disappeared.
You must know that these days, a big belly, also known as a big belly, is the same symbol of a handsome man as a long beard... Of course, Gongsun Xun is not interested in either of these, but it does not mean that Dong Zhuo cannot be proud of it, let alone
It means that Gongsun Xun cannot use this to liven up the atmosphere.
After laughing, the Qiang commander who had questioned him felt a little embarrassed: "I originally thought that the general was from the east, and he would be self-reliant on his status and look down on us Qiang people from the border areas of Liangzhou. That's why he said something awkward, but I didn't want the general to be like this.
Young yet so heroic...I can't apologize."
As he said that, the Qiang commander turned around and pulled out a horse from the military formation in front of everyone's curious eyes. It turned out to be an exceptionally majestic white horse:
"General, please see, my horse is one of the best in Liangzhou, and it should be given to General Baima for his use!"
Gongsun Xun did not refuse, and directly led the horse over. Then he held the horse's shoulder and said: "The strong man gave me a BMW. If I don't accept it, I will look down on you. But this gift is so precious, I should also give a gift in return."
... If you dare to ask the leader’s name, I’ll ask someone to give you some jars of good wine tonight!”
Everyone praised him more and more.
At the same time, Wang Guo, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others couldn't help but look at each other, but in the end they were speechless.
The two sides talked and laughed for a long time, but seeing the sun turning more and more to the west, these Qiang Han heroes still remembered that this was in front of the formation of the two armies, and they also knew some of the importance, so they could not continue to say more, so they all left and retreated.
At this time, just in case, the Han army had already taken the initiative to press forward. In the end, the rebel army took the initiative to retreat more than a hundred steps, leaving space for the commanders of both sides to say goodbye.
And when the coaches of both sides finished saluting on the ground and said goodbye, and then got on their horses and handed over their hands, when they were about to turn around, Gongsun Xun suddenly turned around and called Han Sui: "Wen Yue, stay here!"
Wang Guo and others, as well as Dong Zhuo and others, turned around at the same time.
"I brought you a gift when I came here. It is the best ginseng from Liaodong. The cold has not subsided, so I just made a soup to nourish it. I almost forgot... Wen He." Gongsun Xun said while waving his hand.
After hearing this, Jia Xu calmly took down the box he was carrying, then reined in his horse and presented it to everyone. Everyone could see clearly that there was a letter wrapped openly and squarely outside the box... But this situation and this scene
, it was not the time to inquire and investigate at all, so he remained silent.
When Han Sui took the box and the letter, he didn't think too much about it. He just handed it to Yan Xing beside him and thanked him again.
Just when everyone thought it was going to be over, Gongsun Xun suddenly rode forward again, came to Han Sui's side in person, squeezed Cheng Gongying away, and then pressed Yan Xing's shoulders, who had been ignored by him before: "
Since your surname is Yan, what is your relationship with Yan Zhong, Yan Shude, an old friend of Huangfu Gong’s old department, Jia Wenhe, and therefore my old friend?”
Yan Xing held the box and was caught off guard, so he immediately agreed: "It's the clan uncle!"
"I heard that he died last year?" Gongsun Xun suddenly asked a question that made everyone present change their expressions.
"Yes." Yan Xing managed to answer.
"Be a filial son!" Gongsun Xun pressed the other party's shoulder, left an impeccable message, then turned around and left on the divine white horse.
——————I am the dividing line between loyalty and filial piety——————
"Now that Xun had the whole army in hand, he mobilized the whole army to cross the Lishui River. The two camps were seven or eight miles apart. The rebels were frightened. Please meet with Xun and others.
The famous generals were also old acquaintances with the rebel kingdom, Ma Teng, so they met in front of the battle the next day. Each of the three commanders only led one of his guards.
Laughing happily. The thief general saw Xun sitting on a white horse in the distance. He was majestic and majestic. He was also the emperor's official and a famous general in Dong Xiliang. He knew how important he was, so he paid homage to him from a distance on his horse. The Han and Qiang spectators were confused. When Xun saw this, he laughed.
Holding Sui's hand, Song and Zhuo dismounted from their horses and took dozens of steps forward. They each approached the thieves and said, "You want to see what we are doing? We are just like humans, but Mr. Dong has a big belly and can be called a good ear!" Zhuo and others laughed.
, The thieves also laughed, and they all dismounted and knelt down before the battle. They also led more than ten white horses on their mounts and presented them with bows and bows." - "Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty" by Wang Can.
PS: Thank you to the new alliance leader Ms. Zhuzi Yaoyao... How could it be possible that those who are celebrating the Chinese New Year are the same ones as before, who stayed up all night to rush out. By the way, I recommend Dudu's new book "Counsel in the Troubled Times of the Three Kingdoms"
