Chapter 30: Princes and Ants with Qiu Ruins (2-in-1 Repayment)
Most of the people here, especially the local officials and noble families in Hedong who had traveled hard with Wang Yi, as well as the Hedong tycoons who had just been released from the former Baibo Army, were already hungry. But seeing Gongsun Xun acting like this, they just
Able to hold one's breath and sit quietly at the table.
Even those who had no extra thoughts at this time also pricked up their ears to listen. They were also curious about what exactly the army was in the eyes of Gongsun Xun, who was recognized as the world's most famous general.
"What is the army?" Gongsun Xun sat in the chief chair, unhurriedly, but actually a lot more serious. "In a word, it is the auxiliary of the country! What does it mean? It means that the army is used to assist the country.
The tools used to operate and maintain peace and tranquility in the world are used to hoe the strong and support the weak, not to bully the weak; they are used to support danger and calm chaos, not to disrupt government and cause disaster!"
Wang Yi opened his mouth and wanted to interject with sarcasm, but then he thought about it and realized that the other party had Dong Zhuo, a bastard, as a shield, but it was not easy for him to humiliate himself.
"I know that there are many criticisms among you here. After all, with Dong Zhuo in front of you, all the princes in the world can be complacent, pointing to Dong Zhongying and claiming to be virtuous, claiming to help danger and calm chaos... This situation is indeed like this now." Gongsun Xun seemed to see it.
It caught the minds of some people, but he did not hide it. "Even though I, Gongsun Xun, are two thousand miles away and dare to bring 20,000 troops here, isn't it because Dong Zhuo is cruel and cruel? He will lose people's hearts quickly. He will be killed quickly."
Is it weak? As for you, especially the rulers of the three counties of Bingzhou and Hedong, and the leaders of the clans, most of them think that it is just because they are between Dong Zhuo and me that they have no choice but to choose the good one and follow it, rather than because of their own merits.
Loss of morality and chaos in government..."
"Isn't it like this?" Wang Yi and Wang Wendu finally couldn't bear it anymore and got angry. "Is it unethical for me to work hard to maintain the situation because I am weak and unable to do anything for the overall situation? Is it also considered a disorder of government?"
"Of course," Gongsun Xun didn't even look at his senior brother, he just sat where he was and continued to speak proudly.
"What are you talking about?" Wang Yi became more and more angry. "You have worked hard for two years and now you have become a thief?"
"Senior brother, why should you lose your composure? What's so difficult to understand? It's just that you don't occupy your position and don't pursue politics. You just occupy your position and pursue politics." Gongsun Xun remained calm and unhurried. "In other words, being immoral will lead to chaos in government.
It all depends on the person... Is it the same thing for princes and ordinary officials to disrupt government and cause disaster, and for scholars and ordinary people to disrupt government and cause disaster?"
Wang Yi came to his senses a little, and although he was still a little angry, he finally sat back under the worried eyes of many people in the court.
"Brother Wendu, for example, you are the kind of person," Gongsun Xun chuckled softly, not letting him go just because he was sitting down. "You have a position of two thousand stones, and you are under orders. After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, you are actually a prince in the same place. Do you have any
Chaos brings disaster, not to see if you can maintain the situation, but to see if you can help the crisis, quell the chaos, and preserve the country! In other words, since the era of great strife has arisen, and various princes are separatist, at this time, as a
If the leader of one party is weak and incompetent, unable to contribute to the overall situation, unable to support the country, and yet wants to segregate one party and form a system of its own, it is already regarded as chaos and disaster!"
Wang Yi still wanted to tell the difference, but when Gongsun Xun saw this, he changed his color and yelled: "If you don't say anything else, I just want to ask my brother, Dong Zhuo started forcing millions of people in Henan to move to Guanzhong two months ago. I heard Wei Wei
Bo Xi said that people died of hunger, disease and death on the road... Isn't this wrong? Although you are weak in Anyi, what if you cross the river and fight a few battles to save some people? If you can't save people, go and collect some corpses on the road.
So what? There are a hundred thousand Baibo bandits on the side, and I am coming. Are you afraid that Dong Zhuo will cross the river to retaliate? But did you do it?! Only because you don’t go against the trend again can you keep your reputation.
That’s all, what else do you want? I asked you to abdicate and deal with Wei Gu and Fan Xian. Do you really just want to seize the power of Hedong? Do you three really have a clear conscience in presiding over the overall situation of Anyi?!"
Wang Yi was speechless in silence.
"Actually, it's not just you, Wang Wen, who is in your position and can't do it?" Gongsun Xun said this, but he glanced sideways at Liu Yu beside him. "Some people are above the three princes and have auxiliary orders.
Faced with being surrounded by tigers and wolves, they do not take the initiative to eradicate the chaos. Instead, they only consider their personal reputation, gains and losses. They repeatedly pretend to be deaf and dumb and sit back and watch the situation collapse! And when the overall situation collapses, they can neither calm the chaos nor help the crisis.
They want to die to serve the country, but instead want to live in a corner and survive. Even some colleagues can't bear it. When they are about to draw their swords, they have to be restrained by their own selfish interests... Such people claim to be virtuous, but in fact they are bringing disaster to the world.
generation."
At this point, Liu Yu's face was already livid, but he could not refute it. And many of the people in the audience were frightened, but they didn't know what to say.
"That's right." Gongsun Xun suddenly laughed. "I'm talking about Yuan Wei, Yang Biao and their like! They have been favored by the country and have the hope of the world. They govern the court, but they sit back and watch Dong Zhuo under their noses.
Those who arbitrarily abolish and establish...I just said that Yuan Yang and his like were established under the sect. Although I was joking, I am not resentful that they did not stop Dong Zhuo in the first place?"
The audience felt relieved for a moment, and everyone sighed.
"However," Gongsun Xunfu looked at Wang Yi again. "Brother, there is no need to worry about it. What I said about being immoral and disorderly was just because you were in office and did not do what you did. Now that you have abandoned the position of local chief official,
, then there is no need to blame yourself for this... When the world is safe and peaceful, people like you will still be asked to go to the court to take over the situation from those who are in charge of the situation."
Although Wang Yi's face still looked ugly, he still slightly raised his hands to each other... The small disturbance caused by the handling of the official forces in Anyi, Hedong, was over.
However, Gongsun Xun seemed to be addicted, and he continued to talk long and hard, regardless of everyone getting hungrier:
"I just started talking about what an army is, and talked about whether the princes are virtuous or not. It's not without reason... After all, the world is in turmoil at this time, and the princes are rising together. In a world of great strife, military affairs come first, and military affairs are state affairs. Both of them
Naturally connected. And if we continue talking, we can actually talk about officials, soldiers, powerful families and even common people."
"For example, below the princes, what is the priority for military affairs?" Gongsun Xun sat at the top, looking left and right, and said calmly. "It is not generals, soldiers and horses, and armor, but civil affairs. Civil administration is well organized, the people are rich, and the system is complete.
Naturally, we can easily gather food and grass and recruit strong troops... Just like this expedition, which defeated four counties in a row, there were often arguments in the army, saying who had done more credit, Duke Yi or Su Qing, and who should be in the first place? But at the beginning of this conversation
That's not right. In my opinion, at this point in the expedition, only Lu Changshi, who maintained the situation at the back, and Wang Shuzhi, who led the auxiliary troops and handled the logistics along the way, can compete for the first credit! Emperor Gaozu's "The merit of the man is the merit of the dog"
On the other hand, is it false?"
As soon as this was said, Han Dang and Gao Shun quickly came out and knelt down to apologize in public. Wang Shuzhi also quickly stood up and declined.
Gongsun Xun stood on top of him and waved to them casually, asking them to go back: "It's none of your business, and I'm not trying to beat you. It's just that I saw Mrs. Guo commit suicide in Gaoliang Pavilion. In the past few days, because of
I have a lot of thoughts about how to deal with prisoners. I was asked by my senior brother today, and I thought about the upcoming confrontation with Dong Zhuo, so I couldn't help but say a few more words... You just think I am idle and boring, listen if you want to, and don't listen if you don't.
Pay attention."
The two generals then bowed their heads and retreated... But the people sitting here, especially the locals in Hedong, couldn't help but marvel. They were used to seeing arrogant and powerful generals in Hedong, but they didn't want Gongsun Xun to ride two officer leaders at one step.
To be so honest, but then I thought about it, Gongsun Xun originally started his career in the military, and it seemed normal for him to speak out in the military.
"Moreover, when it comes to the war itself, it is still not the lieutenant general's turn, but the military system is greater than the officer." After Han Dang and Gao Shun retired, Gongsun Xun continued to talk. "One Army.
People, first of all, the system must be perfected, the promotion of officers and soldiers in the army should be smooth, the army should be complete, and the discipline should be clear... For example, in the battle of Gaoliang Pavilion, you all said that I was so majestic that day, and how the righteous man commanded in battle.
How can Su Qing use one as ten? But in fact, if the whole army has a complete system and smooth command, and the army is one of the best in the world, how can it fight with no officers? I am afraid that it will be like the Baibo Army on the opposite side, with no courage.
They are just a rabble."
There is indeed some truth to what he said. Everyone in the court, including many young officers, officials and even members of the family, were sitting upright at this time and listened attentively.
However, there are also smart people like Tian Yuanhao, who suddenly realized something else.
In other words, Gongsun Xun repeatedly emphasized the system and logistics, and repeatedly ignored the outstanding generals under his command. It seemed that he had no intention of being suspicious and worried about the generals in the world of great battles in the history books. He even went to the point of being unscrupulous. Tian Feng had already felt confused.
.However, after careful calculation in his mind at this time, he discovered an interesting thing - it turned out that the famous minions and generals under Gongsun Xun were all extremely reliable people!
For example, Cheng Pu and Han Dang are both from the same hometown, and the former was born as a county official and was an old official of Gongsun's family from the beginning, while the latter started as an ordinary soldier and was Gongsun Xun's personal guest from the beginning;
As for Guan Yu and Gao Shun, the former was just a fugitive murderer from Hedong, and the latter was just a criminal accomplice in the army in the past;
There are also Wei Yue and Cheng Lian, who are all wanderers from the border counties who have lost their hometown and foundation;
As for Tian Chou, Tian Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Nan, Jiao Chu, Wen Ze, Yuwen Heita, Zhang Fan and others, although they can be regarded as powerful and powerful aliens with different origins, they all came from Gongsun Xun who settled in Changping.
Local people at their base.
There is only one person who can help, a member of the Anping clan who is also a ranger, but this time he has also been transferred to a local position, and this person is not an ordinary minion.
In other words, speaking of the leading generals and subordinates in the army, who are just the minions, who dares to argue with Gongsun Xun? In other words, who among these people can rely on to stand up to Gongsun Xun?
?
Of course, if you want to understand this, Tian Feng is not shocked... After all, when it comes to Gongsun Xun's deliberate intentions, others don't know, doesn't he, Tian Feng, know? He has scolded the other person for harboring evil intentions for more than ten years. Could it be that he
Isn’t it Tian Yuanhao?
Only when he thought of the troubled times recorded in the history books, those generals betrayed and changed sides as common as eating and drinking, and then countless heroes were embarrassed by these things, Tian Yuanhao felt a little sad for the other princes in the world.
"And let's talk about it this way." Gongsun Xun, who didn't know that Tian Feng was slandering him in his heart, suddenly burst into laughter in the audience. "Those local officials, the generals and subordinates' misconduct has led to disaster, and it's about to happen...
Let me tell you, ordinary officials with less than two thousand stones do not need to work hard for the overall situation of the world, but if they cannot appease the people and restore peace to a place, they still have to worry about it; and those powerful men who have thousands of soldiers and regulate the place have to worry about it.
, military leader, when facing a duel, apart from the military law, I don’t care about their self-protection in troubled times, but if they plunder excessively, invade the place, and kill indiscriminately, they deserve to be punished!"
Among the several Hedong tycoons who had just arrived here from the prison camps, from Yang Feng to Cheng Yin, from Li Le to Han Xian, there were many changes in their expressions... but they were either relaxed or nervous.
"As for going down further..." Gongsun Xun sighed more and more. "In the army, they are ordinary soldiers, and in politics, they are ordinary ordinary people from good families... If you ask me, they are all innocent people! As the saying goes, those who are above are like boats, and those who are below are ordinary people.
The water is clear in ordinary times, but in troubled times, the water becomes turbid. Isn't it because we, the boats, stir up the water? Why should we criticize and vent our hatred on the water itself? This principle is not only
I, Gongsun Xun, all of you, whether you are as big as two thousand dan or as small as a village official, you must keep this in mind... Otherwise, if you count each one as one, you are still here to attack Dong Zhuo, so you might as well stay with me in Changping and plant chestnuts!
"
There was a moment of silence in the courtyard of Yao's ancestral temple.
"So," Gongsun Xun's long story of chaos is finally coming to an end. "People from good families and ordinary soldiers must be treated as kindly as possible... In military terms, if they are soldiers in one's own army, they must be fed and clothed.
They also have military pay, and are guaranteed to have functional rewards, and guilty will be punished; but in the enemy's army, except when there is no last resort, you should try to preserve it as much as possible! This is why I released 40,000 to 50,000 Baibo bandits in Hedong before.
These people are just trying to survive in troubled times, and some of the blame has been shouldered by Mrs. Guo alone, so why should they be harshly punished? As for ordinary people, we should be as considerate as possible and not easily harassed!"
After saying this, everyone saw that Gongsun Xun was a general and half of the political affairs had been dealt with from top to bottom. This could be regarded as expressing his principles for dealing with all parties, and they all stood up to express their opinions... The leader was naturally Wang Xiu
, Lou Gui, Xi Zhong, Han Dang, Gao Shun and others, and even Tian Feng did not have any trouble. They were listed after the two of them. Most of the people in the Youzhou army were among the two thousand stone soldiers.
Under the leadership of the senior officials, they all bowed and said yes to show their approval; although Wang Yi and Liu Yu did not say a word, they also stood up and raised their hands, which did not undermine the overall situation.
In this way, everyone expressed their stance. It was not only Hedong's formal surrender and allegiance, but also the new and old people in Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Hedong temporarily unified their thoughts before facing Dong Zhuo directly... So far, after all, it was a unified process.
It was a fairly qualified conference.
Of course, it is probably inevitable that some of them will be dissatisfied... As long as the overall situation of Dong Dong is at the forefront, Gongsun Xun also has a strong army at hand, so it doesn't matter:
It is true that Gongsun Xun was harsh on the family, but it was still ten thousand times worse than Dong Zhuo who killed the whole family at every turn. Moreover, the powerful army was here and its momentum was strong. Who would step forward to commit suicide in vain?
Immediately, everyone returned to their seats with their own thoughts... But when things got to this point, Gongsun Xun, the master of the room, was supposed to raise a toast to each other, but he still sat still and had no intention of starting a banquet, which was quite surprising.
Feeling uneasy.
Moreover, this anxiety immediately turned into fear.
"Gentlemen!" Gongsun Xun suddenly said with a straight face. "Since I have expressed my heart to you, and you have all just revealed your understanding of my feelings and bowed down to worship me, there are some things that you no longer need to cover up...
…Come here, please bring Prefect Wang out!”
As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers pushed a man with a miserable expression but gorgeous clothes in hastily. Many of the people present recognized this man, so they couldn't help but whisper, making the whole court aware of it - it turned out that
, this person is actually the prefect of Hanoi, Wang Kuang, Wang Gongjie!
By the way, why is Wang Kuang here?
It turned out that Zhang Yang had been persuaded by the drama loyalist to abandon the Shangdang and sold Yu Fuluo, but he easily captured Wang Kuang's territory in Hanoi, and then captured Wang Gongjie... but he didn't know how to deal with him!
Keep him in Hanoi and raise him to win people's hearts. He has always had a bad reputation in Hanoi. If he stays here, he may cause resentment among the people. But kill him. He is a noble prince who wants to challenge Dong. He is an upright man with two thousand dan, but Zhang Yang doesn't dare to kill him!
So, I can only send it away.
However, when it comes to giving it to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao doesn’t want it at all! Why does he want this waste? Is it to cause trouble?
What about letting him return home? That's not possible, because Zhang Yang is worried that he will make a comeback after recruiting troops in Mount Tai!
After much thought, Zhang Yang had no choice but to exchange the Shangdang for Hanoi and send this person to the Shangdang as part of the cooperation that day!
Due to the "business reputation" of Qianzhao, he had no choice but to take over this person, which was also embarrassing and gave him a headache... Firstly, it was difficult for him to deal with a two thousand stone, and secondly, Wang Kuang was considered the "junjun" of Qianzhao that day, so he had no choice but to take over Qianzhao.
In the name of teacher Le Yin, Zhao then sent the person to the front of the army and handed him over to Gongsun Xun, a tall man!
Counting the time, it's only been two or three days.
"Everyone!" Gongsun Xun introduced briefly, and then pointed his finger in a clear and crisp manner. "I have been talking about it for a long time, what is chaos and disaster? It is obvious even if it is placed here by our prefect Wang... He is in Hanoi, asking for help.
Dong Er was defeated, the regime was divided and the people were remnant. Even his brother-in-law, who was the envoy to him, could not be saved. As a result, his two nephews were left helpless, and all the old friends in his hometown abandoned him! His old friend Cai Bojie actually...
He also wrote an article saying that he is a vicious thief! Gentlemen, when you see this kind of person, do you still want to tell me whether you can tolerate him or not? I have made it clear to you today that I am going to challenge Dong not because he is
Dong Zhongying came to crusade because Dong Zhuo caused trouble by messing up the government! As for other people, don't think that nothing will happen if you don't take refuge with Dong Zhuo. If there is any trouble, I will never let it go easily! And others will not let it go easily!
I, Gongsun Xun, dare to do things that others dare not do; I, Gongsun Xun, dare to deal with those who others dare not deal with!"
At this point, Gongsun Xun simply turned around and asked boldly: "Prince Fujun, do you have anything else to say?"
Wang Kuang looked haggard and was helpless under the firelight. He opened his mouth several times to say something, but could not make any sound.
"What are you talking about?" Gongsun Xun was a little impatient.
Wei Yue saw the opportunity quickly and quickly stood up and came to Wang Kuang. He listened to a few words and then returned the favor: "Junhou, he said that his sister died early, and even though his brother-in-law hated him to the bone before he died, he could only kill his two nephews.
I entrusted it to him, and now I have followed him to Shangdang... He has no face to raise two nephews, but he doesn’t know who to let him raise them!"
"I know!" Gongsun Xun nodded slightly. "Hu Wuban is in the ninth rank, and he is one of the eight chefs of the Party. Since his two orphans have come to my place, I can't ignore it... That's good, I
My younger brother Gongsun Yue lives in Jinyang. He has many children at home, so I asked him to adopt them! But do you have anything else to say?"
Wang Kuang looked pale, but finally stopped speaking.
Gongsun Xun didn't hesitate when he saw this, and waved his hand directly. Wei Yue led a few soldiers and pushed this man down while most of the people present were surprised.
A moment later, Wei Yue came to report in person: "Your Majesty, Governor Wang knows he is guilty and has hanged himself. Please give me your instructions..."
"Hang his head in front of the camp gate, and after the sacrifice to the Holy King tomorrow, he will be buried around the Yao Temple together with the soldiers who died in the previous battles." In the silence, Gongsun Xun said bluntly, but then turned to point to the throne.
The other two people. "Don't leave in a hurry... In the past few days, Shuzhi has made inquiries clearly. Li Le and Hou Xuan usually plundered the countryside and had no control over it. They immediately pushed them out and beheaded them. Then they confiscated all their property and confiscated their property."
People!"
Wei Yue immediately led the soldiers to take the man, while Li Le, the candidate for the second general, was frightened and was about to curse, but suddenly remembered that he still had family members in the army and relatives in Hedong, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but wonder.
He dared to say more, and then he was dragged out by the soldiers, and he disappeared like Wang Kuang before.
Poor these two generals, in another time and space, one of them was promoted to the general of Zhengbei, and then died of illness in his hometown; the other took advantage of the chaos to seize control of Guanzhong, and finally surrendered to Cao Cao and was granted the title of Lieutenant, and died guarding Weikou... But this time, his head was changed.
The former is thirty-nine years old, and the latter is only twenty-eight years old this year.
As for Wang Kuang, if Aunt Gongsun had not come to this world, he would have died quickly at the hands of Hu Wuban's relatives and Cao Cao, who was instructed by Yuan Shao. Needless to say.
They had just killed a town that once had over 10,000 soldiers of the princes, and killed two surrendered generals. There was already silence in the crowd. Only the remaining generals such as Yang Feng, Cheng Yin, and Han Xian in the Baibo Army did not dare to neglect, so they could only
They were so frightened that they all avoided the banquet and knelt down to confess their sins, and all of them were willing to give up their family property. All the people in the tribe just wanted to be safe.
Gongsun Xun didn't take it seriously: "I act in my own way, why do I need to ask for mercy? Although Han Xian and Cheng Yin do not do any great evil in ordinary times, they are arrogant and cause disaster after all. Moreover, since they separate the territory, they
When the banners are in chaos, when swords and soldiers meet, there must be some way to deal with it...I will confiscate the guests in your home and become a slave, keep the ancestral home and hundreds of hectares of land, I will act as a fake commander, and lead the troops to stay in the army to see the consequences!"
Cheng Yin and Han Xian were half surprised and half happy, but they hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them.
"Yang Feng," Gongsun Xunfu pointed to another person. "You have many good reviews in the countryside, and the county also says that you are talented. But since you have caused rebellion, you should know that the consequences will be... half of the family property and land will be confiscated, and you will be a guest.
No private soldiers are allowed to stay, it means that you are a Sima and will continue to serve in the army!"
Yang Feng was really overjoyed!
"The rest of the generals who are descended from Bai Bo will all be judged by Yang Feng!" Gongsun Xun continued to order. "But you must remember that today you are here because Guo Taizu is in front of me. I will do my best again."
As a surrendered general, if you make any mistakes, you will be severely punished within a short period of time!"
Below Yang Feng, there were other young commanders who surrendered, so the young generals naturally couldn't help but kowtow.
"Who is Xu Huang?" Gongsun Xun suddenly called out another person.
"The crime will be here!" Xu Huang immediately came out of the queue and kowtowed.
"The punishment has been passed, so there is no need to call the guilty person any more." Gongsun Xun looked at this heavy-jawed man and told him with a slightly serious face. "Actually, Yun Chang told me about you, and Ziyi and Zilong also praised your martial arts.
It just so happens that you are also a local, and you can't let others always say that I treat you harshly. I will give you a chance today... You come as a fake Sima to pick up the remaining troops of Li Kan, Li Le, and the three candidates, and reorganize them carefully... Don't let me
disappointment!"
Xu Huang was shocked in his heart and his face was blank. He did not dare to be negligent and could only kowtow in affirmation.
"That kid over there!" Just when everyone thought that this kindness was about to end, Gongsun Xun suddenly raised his hand and pointed at someone. "I have tolerated you for a long time. Counting what happened to Wang Kuang just now, what have you been doing? "
The person who was pointed out was actually just a small official with tied hair. He came with Wang Yi this time. Hearing this, he didn't panic. He just wiped his mouth and excused himself from the table: "Report to General Wei, the boy is here." Stealing food..."
"Why did you eat it secretly?" Gongsun Xun asked sternly.
"My family is poor, and there is not enough dry food on the road. I am hungry for a while, and I really can't bear it!" The man was still calm.
"No matter how hungry you are, why can't you bear it for a moment?" Gongsun Xun sneered. "You could bear it before, but you couldn't bear it when you were dealing with people just now. Do you think my punishment is unfair?"
"That's not what I mean." This little official was a little panicked after all. "The little official below is just an 'innocent person' in the words of General Wei. What does it have to do with these people? But in fact, they are nothing to do with me. I was so hungry from the beginning that I almost couldn't bear it anymore. Only when I heard General Wei talking about military affairs, I was so fascinated that I ate his words as a meal, so I forgot about my hunger. When General Wei started to do other things, he suddenly I am twice as hungry..."
Gongsun Xun was amused when he heard this, and then looked at Wei Ji again: "Bo Ji, judging from the appearance of this person, could it be that Jia Kui without pants you mentioned?"
"Exactly." Wei Jian nodded slightly.
"You are still too young and full of tricks to be reused." Gongsun Xun shook his head for a while. "However, after all, I am coveting the person you recommended. I think he is a promising talent... This is good, let him abandon it. If you want to join the army, stop being an official and become a voluntary servant!"
Wei Boxi didn't care, but Jia Kui was overjoyed.
After the small interlude, everyone finally took the opportunity to have a banquet. The next day, everyone, under the leadership of Gongsun Xun, worshiped Saint Yao together in the morning and the soldiers who died in the battle at Gaoliang Pavilion in the afternoon... Then Gongsun Xun paid his respects. Du Ji, who was on the road, was the governor of Hedong, and Wang Xiu was temporarily in charge of all affairs in Hedong, etc. Then he appointed and removed officials and reorganized the army. Needless to say, there is no need to say more.
But at this time, Wei Bo, who was supposed to play a huge role, suddenly took leave... Gongsun Xun originally thought that the other party was going back to deal with Wei Gu's death, but when he came to Anyi, he suddenly realized that it turned out that before Wei Bo's younger brother Wei Zhongdao He had been seriously ill, and in early February he died due to a cold spring. It was precisely because his own brother died and could not be buried in the ancestral grave in Fenbei that Wei Boxi made up his mind to go north alone to meet Gongsun Xun.
This is quite sad.
However, with Hongnong County in front, Gongsun Xun could not care about these things. While he continued to reorganize and repair his troops, he asked Cheng Lian to lead his troops to Fenglingdu in an attempt to hinder Dong Zhuo from moving the capital.
However, Dong Zhongying is an experienced soldier after all, so why doesn’t he know how to take precautions? From Fengling to Pujin, the other side of the river has been heavily guarded!
Moreover, what Gongsun Xun didn't know whether to admire or to curse was... When he came to the river, he learned that Dong Zhuo had actually basically completed the move of a million people to the capital in just over two months. !
In early March, the emperor's carriage entered Guanzhong ahead of schedule, and after Dong Zhuo arranged the military deployment in Luoyang, he personally led the troops to break up the rear, and also drove millions of people and officials from Henan to the west to enter the pass!
At this time, we have passed Hangu Pass and continued along Hongnong Avenue.
"The princes of Guandong are in internal strife, Zhang Yang swallows Wang Kuang, and Yuan Shao also personally goes to Suanzao to control the generals!" In the west of Hangu Guan, on the East-West Avenue, Dong Zhuo was sitting in a car with extremely large regulations and a magnificent crown.
He was overjoyed. "In the future, Guandong will definitely be in chaos, and it will be out of control! As for Gongsun Xun, although he went to Hedong and won a great victory, he finally let me take the lead and enter Guanzhong first... If I guard Taolinsai (
Tongguan (called Tongguan in ancient times), Pujin, and Maojin, then Gongsun Wenqi has no power but cannot do anything!"
"It's not just that," a man on horseback beside the car twirled his beard and laughed, but it was Liu Ai, Dong Zhuo's chief official. "Our army can deploy heavy troops in Pujin, Maojin, and then Taolinsai with slightly fewer troops and horses...
...In this way, if he really crosses the river from Pujin and Maojin to attack, he can drive them away and make it impossible for them to gain a foothold; and if he crosses Taolinsai from Fengling, he can take advantage of the situation to get him ashore.
Taolinsai is in a hurry and cannot be conquered, but the Henan tribes to the east of our army can easily return reinforcements. Combined with Maojin's troops to go west, they will attack Taolinsai and Fenglingdu in front and back, and maybe we can win a big victory.
General Wei!"
"That's exactly what I mean!" Dong Zhuo nodded as he listened, and almost laughed out loud at the end. "This is why I want to move the capital to Guanzhong... Guanzhong, no matter how bad the situation is, it will be so bad that it will be abandoned.
Tianjin, but as long as Pujin and Taolinsai are blocked, everything will be safe! Unlike Luoyang, the eight passes are impossible to guard against. Even if we have repeated great victories and are surrounded on three sides, people's hearts will gradually become overwhelmed and shaken!"
Everyone quickly laughed with him.
At this time, Dong Zhuo looked at the person sitting on the small seat on the edge of his car and said simply: "Mr. Cai, I'll tell you the truth, your disciple Lu Bu has many martial arts skills, I like them very much, and I'll wait for him to finish in Luoyang this time.
After that, I can let him do Taolinsai and be the person to face me... The only thing I am worried about is that he used to be an old member of Gongsun Xun, I wonder if he will be shaken in the face of the battle?"
"No way!" Cai Yong smiled bitterly. "However, although my student is brave but has a negligent character, the Prime Minister does not have to give him a full responsibility... Even this time of 'Luoyang cleanup', there is no need to let him do it!
"
"No!" Dong Zhuo suddenly changed his face and sighed. "If even he can't believe this situation, who else can? It's just that Jia Wenhe has to still help him and watch him. In this way, I
Don’t worry, he can also use his full strength..."
Halfway through the words, an armored knight suddenly rode up from the side: "Report to the Prime Minister, we caught a few more people trying to escape!"
"Bring it up!" Dong Zhuo signaled to stop the car and immediately changed his expression.
And Cai Bojie also quickly bowed his head.
A moment later, several knights drove a group of people here, and the ones who were pushed forward were actually two young people.
As for Dong Zhuo, he was furious just now, but when he saw the tall young man at the head, for some reason, his expression darkened: "Boda, when your grandfather was the prefect of Yingchuan, my father worked under your grandfather.
County magistrate: When you promoted me to be a boy, my deceased son happened to be promoted to a man in the same year, and you two have similar looks and build, so I always take special care of you... Why do you want to betray me too?"
The two people who were arrested, one was Zhao Zi and the other was Sima Lang, were already frightened.
At this time, hearing Dong Zhuo's question, Sima Boda could only bite the bullet and flatter him: "Xiangguo, you have eliminated the eunuchs, your achievements are unparalleled, and Deji has spread all over the world..."
"I asked you why you betrayed me?!"
Sima Lang became more and more helpless and could only force his hands to face each other: "Prime Minister, now the capital has been moved to the west. Millions of people in Henan have abandoned their homes and businesses and were driven out by the soldiers like cattle and sheep. So everyone wants to escape, not just my family.
What? And everyone’s reason for fleeing is the same, they are all just missing home! There is unrest in Hanoi, and as the eldest son of the family, I just want to take my brothers back to Wen County to dispose of the old house at home.”
Dong Zhuo sighed deeply but did not answer.
"Prime Minister," Sima Lang reluctantly advised after seeing this. "With your reputation and merits, if you can slightly reduce the punishment and be more lenient to the people, you will be able to rival Zhou Gong and Yi Yin! Please forgive me!
"
"That makes sense." Dong Zhuo finally spoke, but he seemed a little uninterested. "That's fine, let's end the matter here, but we are not allowed to run away anymore..."
Sima Lang was overjoyed, so he dragged his friend Zhao Zi, bowed to say goodbye, and hurried away with his family.
Seeing the other party walking away in a hurry, Dong Zhuo set off again, but could not walk more than a few steps. Dong Zhongying sighed again, and then suddenly said to Cai Bojie: "Before passing Shaanxi County, this kid will definitely escape!"
"Then..." Cai Bojie panicked for a moment.
"But he looks too much like my dead eldest son," Dong Zhuo shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I can't bear to deal with him. He can leave if he wants!"
Cai Bojie also felt sad for a moment.
"Speaking of it." Dong Zhongying didn't know what he was thinking of, but she held her belly and asked curiously. "I remember that Cai Gong did not have an heir who died early, but that he had no heirs at all and only had two daughters?"
"yes!"
"How old are you, what's your name, and who do you match?"
"One is still young, and is called Cai Wan, nicknamed Zhenji, and was raised in Handan; the other is over twenty, and is called Cai Yan, nicknamed Zhaoji... He is not yet married..."
"Why is this?" Dong Zhuo was curious for a moment. "A woman of this age cannot get married? Is your Cai Bojie's daughter also worried about getting married?"
"This child is also suffering a fate!" Cai Yong was afraid that Dong Zhuo would cause trouble, so he hurriedly explained. "When he was in Handan, he had chosen the youngest son of Liu Gong, the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao. However, he went to Handan to accept his son. When he asked about his name, he passed by the Black Mountain in Hanoi and was killed by the Black Mountain bandits.
Yu Du was killed! After I came to Luozhong before, I made an appointment with a family from Hedong, a descendant of the Wei family... But isn't this situation quite chaotic? It was really difficult to get married for a while."
"So that's it," Dong Zhuo suddenly realized. "I was once the governor of Hedong, and I also know the family lineage of the Wei family, which is not bad! In fact, you don't have to worry about the situation just for marrying a daughter. After all, it is Gongsun who is in Hedong now.
Xun, you also know him, how could you stop this?"
"That's what the Prime Minister said!" Cai Bojie just wanted to finish his words, so he forced himself to reply randomly.
"Forget it!" Dong Zhuofu said simply. "Go and prepare now. When the front passes through Shaanxi County, you can send your daughter across the river before the war begins! I will give you some more goods, which is enough.
The truth of the elders!”
Cai Yong naturally thanked him endlessly, and then hurriedly got out of the car. When he left Dong Zhuo's carriage and came to the ranks of soldiers and horses escorting him, he looked like a fool and said nothing. He just got into the car to escape...
...It turned out that, along the way from Dong Zhuo's carriage to Cai Yong's house, looking around, there were piles of corpses on the side of the road, and everyone could hear howlings!
Some people lost their heirs, some lost their parents, some had their belongings, wives and daughters taken away by soldiers in public, some were alone with no food... but if they paused for a moment, they would be executed in public for demonstration! This is the Gongqing family,
There were also many cases of embarrassment. Some people fled alone and were killed as easily as pigs and dogs on the roadside and riverside. Some people would be publicly punished if they delayed even a little.
The trees along the way sprout vigorously in spring, but most of them are nourished by flesh and blood.
In other words, Dong Zhuo spontaneously showed kindness to his elders, but the people of Henan suffered numerous casualties because of his two-month move of the capital! However, at the same time, the Kwantung Allied Forces were still stationed in front of Hulao Pass, and Sun Jian was frustrated at Yingchuan, and could not move at all!
It makes people lose all hope. Faced with these things, what else can the honest man Cai Bojie do besides pretending to be deaf and dumb?
No matter how kind Dong Zhuo was to him, he only used him to write words and articles.
After entering the car, Cai Yong took a long time to catch his breath, but he was at a loss. In the end, he could only ask a five or six-year-old girl holding a white cat in the car: "Zhenji, where is your sister?"
?”
"My elder sister said that if my father asked me about it, I would tell him that Wang's family in Shanyang had just come to ask for food. Since she didn't have time to report, and they were family friends, she put on a mask herself and took people to deliver food." Xiao Xiao said.
The girl said calmly.
"Why are you running around again?" Cai Yong sighed. "This is not in Luoyang, where there is war and chaos. She is a girl running around, something will go wrong..."
"Sister also said." At this moment, the little girl continued to talk quietly. "If my father sighs, he will tell him that if she doesn't go to see him off, he will wipe his tears in the car, worrying that his old friends will regard Cai as a
The tiger is acting like a spy!"
Cai Yong became increasingly helpless, but he stood up and hugged his young daughter, sighing repeatedly: "A Wan, A Wan, when you grow up, don't be as smart as your sister. These days, smart people die first!"
"Sister also said," the little girl looked up at her father and continued to speak seriously. "If your father says that smart people die first, just tell him that stupid people die quickly these days! Everyone in the world dies quickly!"
Cai Yong was speechless, but became more determined. He planned to take the opportunity to send his two daughters to the Wei family to avoid trouble as soon as he passed through Shaanxi County.
However, when they arrived in Shaanxi County, in the mist early that morning, when Cai Bozhe was ready to send his daughter away in Maojin, Shaanxi County, he was suddenly told that no one was allowed to cross the river privately from Maojin.
! Violators will be killed without mercy!
Of course, Cai Bozhe was unusual in Dong Zhuo's presence, and the subordinates of Shaanxi County Guard Zhang Ji allowed him to go to Maojin alone to seek mercy from Dong Zhuo.
When he came to Maojin and climbed a small slope next to the ferry, Cai Yong finally realized why Dong Zhuo had blocked the ferry again - Dong Xiangguo was in full ceremonial guard, and countless generals were lined up on the hillside, looking north in the distance.
, and on the other side of the river, next to the Maojin Ferry outside Dayang City in Hedong County, on the hillside, there is a familiar yet unfamiliar white horse flag facing each other in the mist!
But when the sun gradually rose and the mist gradually dispersed, there was no golden embankment on the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Henan and Hebei could be seen at a glance, and both sides had an unobstructed view. Under the spring sunshine, Dong Zhuo clearly saw the man riding under the white horse, and Gongsun Xun.
He saw the fat man on the opposite carriage from a distance... Starting from last summer, for nine months, Gongsun Xun traveled 1,500 miles and penetrated four counties. Finally, he was only separated from Dong Zhuo.
A river!
————I am the dividing line between successfully repaying debt————
"When I arrived in Dayang, I saw Dong Zhuo moving his capital to Shaanxi County. They stood on both sides of the river. Zhuo Jiao looked around and said: 'The army is small, and we are blocking Tongguan, Pujin, and Maojin, but they can't do anything!'
Considering that it is difficult to fight in the field, and because of old friends, and for possible marriages, cut the river north of the river to him!' Before he finished speaking, Xun sent dozens of envoys to the river by boat, and told them along the river: 'General Wei has an order, and there are people who are acting as helpers for tigers.
"Those who kill Dong's thieves can be pardoned, be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, and be given a waiting list. However, if the person has been dead for ten years, and if his body can be saved, a reward of ten coins can be given to show preferential treatment!" Zhuo was furious." - "
