Zhang Fei and Li Jin divided the north and the south, regardless of advancement or retreat. It is destined to evolve into an anecdote with the achievements of the two. Just like before, Chen Guo and Fu Han Tuo burned down the granary and used their own lives to reverse the situation in the Central Plains. Sooner or later, they will be
People generally remember...the preciousness of some things may be ignored by people due to the chaos of the times and the accompanying dust, but as time goes by and the rain and wind blow, it will eventually show its original brilliance.
.
Of course, conversely speaking, the summer of the second year of Jian'an was an era of dust.
Just when the war in Nanyang resumed and the four strongest powers in the Central Plains united, in early June, Gongsun Xun, the strongest general in the world, disbanded in Qingzhou. After settling some of his troops, he headed west to Yanzhou while continuing to inspect Xinde.
On the other hand, they were preparing to cross the river from Cangting to Yecheng.
After all, when Hebei is pacified, the center of gravity of General Wei's territory will be greatly tilted. There is no more natural core of governance than Yecheng. This time, in addition to setting up state pastors and separate generals, Gongsun Xun also specially appointed Gao Shun and Xu Huang.
, Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Zhao Yun, Tian Yu, Yang Kai, Yuwen Heita and other capable subordinates, plus Tai Shi Ci and Yang Qiu who were left behind by him, together with the elites from various ministries, were transferred to Yecheng and were directly under the command of Sima Handang of General Wei's Mansion.
The total number is about 20,000, with 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers, forming the central guard army.
"So Hanoi is safe?" That afternoon, at the Cangting Floating Bridge, countless soldiers and horses were walking north to cross the river, but Gongsun Xun's umbrella stopped on the golden embankment at the head of the bridge on the south bank.
"It should be like this." Lu Fan replied slowly from the side. "According to the military reports coming from the river, Zhang Yang did not want to surrender and did not want to fight. His subordinate Yang Chou couldn't bear it anymore, so he assassinated him.
After his master tried to surrender the county, Uncle Zhang Zhi, although weak and incompetent, was always good to his subordinates. A Black Mountain general who had just surrendered, named Mu Gu Mu White Rabbit, assassinated Yang again.
Ugly, tried to gather a crowd to resist... As a result, after General Zhenxi's army entered Hanoi, Zhang Zhishu's old troops scattered and surrendered numerous people. Only the white rabbit led two to three thousand bandits to surrender in Shedog City and tried to resist, but the vanguard led Zi Jing and Ju Gong
The two warlords came forward and fell in a fight."
"Can you get a white rabbit by shooting a dog?" The weather was a bit sultry. Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the golden ground, was thoughtful, but he shook his head for a moment. "Although Uncle Zhang Zhi is a little overestimated and weak, he is a rare person who knows how to protect the environment and the people.
It's a pity for a man...and now that such an unbelievable thing has happened, and he has never directly fought with us, why not give him a good reputation?"
"Here!" Lu Fan nodded knowingly, but hurriedly asked again. "Now that this matter is over, how will Hanoi be settled? And the Henan side, because the delay was too long and the Qingzhou side was too fast, Cheng Zhennan and Xu Changqi had already
Leading the troops up the river, the second general went all the way west, not far behind General Zhenxi... Henan, do you want to give instructions about Hongnong?"
"Cheng Demou and Xu Bojin are both former officials of my family. With Ah Yue here, there is no need to worry about them taking credit. I only have one sentence for the three of them..." Gongsun Xun felt that the weather was getting hotter and hotter.
Lu Fan and others immediately bowed their heads slightly and obeyed the order.
"We need to cut through the mess with a sharp sword!" Gongsun Xun said seriously. "In the Battle of Hebei, Yuan Shao was destroyed, and the military power is enough. There is no need to bring so many soldiers everywhere to show off their power... Duan Xuan, Li Mengruo can give a good result if they know what they are looking for.
, if you don’t know what’s going on, don’t hesitate, no matter what, you must be quick. With so many soldiers and horses here, don’t you need to spend money on food? Get the result quickly, and then return to their respective places, disband the excess soldiers and horses, and let the soldiers return home...
Just do what we said before. Xu Rong can just leave 5,000 soldiers and horses to station in Huayin, which is under Wang Shu's rule. In Henan, Hongnong is special, so Cheng Demou can take over the means, and Li Er will organize the troops and horses, and the two will be stationed there.
The title of Prefect of Di can also be reserved for the second general to comfort people's hearts; after Ayue returned to merge with the state, he had to disband the large army and focus on assisting the defense of Shaanzhou and the north, and gathering the Xianbei tribe! As for the Prefect of Hanoi... what do you have?
Any suggestions?"
Lu Fan and others' hearts moved.
"How about Ju Zong, Ju Gong?" Shen Pei stepped forward proudly and took the initiative to talk about a person. "Ju Gong is loyal and has both talent and virtue..."
"I think it's okay." Tian Feng also stepped forward to jointly recommend it.
Gongsun Xun's heart moved slightly. He naturally knew that Shen Pei, Tian Feng and Ju Zong had a personal relationship, and he also knew that they were township party members. However, Shen Zhengnan and Tian Yuanhao's actions were fair and aboveboard, because Ju Zong was both senior and loyal.
There are no problems. In the next few years, the most important thing is to implement the New Deal. In a large county like Hanoi, having a person with a reliable background like Ju Zong is more important than anything else.
Besides, both Ju Shou and his son are dead. Although he does not feel ashamed, Gongsun Xun may still have some disdain for Ju Zong in his heart. If he returns to the shogunate, it will be somewhat embarrassing to meet him in the future... Even thinking about it again, this
At that time, Juzong happened to be serving in front of Gongsun Yue's army, so there was no need to move.
Anyway, Shen Zhengnan's proposal was brilliant even if it was not considered deliberate.
Just when Gongsun Xun was hesitant for a moment, Lu Fan turned his eyes to many people present and suddenly stepped forward: "Ju Gongsun is commendable for his loyalty, but the matter of transferring fields requires heavy ceremony. I think that Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde
Better!"
Cheng Zhongde, who had been standing on one side with his hands tied, really did not expect that the personnel dispute between these two figures would involve him, but he was too lazy to say anything. He just opened his eyes slightly, and then stood with his hands tied again.
However, this candidate was indeed a bit unexpected. Shen Zhengnan and others had only taken care of their old acquaintances from the Xiang Party out of their public conscience, so they were unable to refute it for the time being.
"Cheng Zhongde can't do it." Gongsun Xun glanced at Cheng Yu, but simply shook his head. "Zhongde is both civilized and military, and has a strong spirit. I am going to appoint him as the pastor of Yingzhou... Hanoi asked Lianzi Jing to do it, and Ju Gongcui went.
Go to the party!"
At this moment, the vacancy of the governor of Hanoi was immediately speechless, but the governor of Yingzhou...
"Does Duke Ming want to roast the old man on the fire?" Cheng Yu also became helpless. "As soon as I surrendered, I came to the tent for the first time, and I have no qualifications. How can I suddenly become a shepherd of a state? Or a rich man like Yingzhou?
The land of Hebei?"
"What kind of qualifications do you have for a Jiangren whose name was changed by me in 1989?" Gongsun Xun looked around and smiled. "Besides, Yuan Benchu, the old people in the shogunate all sent me to Heshuo, so I have to appoint some famous Jiangren to calm the world.
Isn’t it popular among celebrities?”
Cheng Yu also laughed: "General, are you afraid that if I, a strong and famous man, stay in Dongjun, the place will not be reorganized?"
"I'm even more afraid that if Zhongde doesn't go to Yingzhou, there will be no one there who will do their best for me." Gongsun Xun raised his head and said sincerely. "Zhongde... I hate the lack of people when they are used. I thought about it carefully. Since my eldest brother has gone to Chang'an,
The only ones who can do this are you and a few military advisors. However, Tian Yuanhao is good at general strategy and has integrity. I am ready to let him serve as the censor in my court. He will act as an official and be fair and clear. I
I plan to use him by my side to consult on undecided matters; Zhicai is loyal and reliable, and I plan to still use him to grasp information and monitor the generals; as for Ziheng and Zhengnan, let alone... If I don't need you, who do you want me to use?
"
There was silence all around, except for the soldiers on the pontoon who were still shouting and cheering as they crossed the river. Cheng Yu thought about it for a moment and finally surrendered and obeyed his orders: "I have no talent and virtue, but only a little strength. I would like to use it for Ming Gong."
Gongsun Xun nodded immediately, but stood up on the golden embankment: "So... plus Yu Wenze survived two draws of lots, he was asked to return to Jibei to assist Yunchang in sweeping away the Taishan bandits, while Dongjun was temporarily
Directly under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, these matters can be considered roughly clear. As for the affairs of Taishan County, we will wait until the bandits in Taishan are calmed down!"
"Ming Gong!" Cheng Yu couldn't help but interrupt after hearing this. "Since we are talking about Taishan bandits, no matter what, we cannot let Yu Du escape this time... This guy followed Dong'a County from the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The Prime Minister was born in Dongjun and killed Dong'aling Wensheng again. Counting from the time he left, he has been making noise in the world for eight or nine years! He is cunning and barbaric, unrepentant, and has done many great things. He has become a trademark of thieves in the world.
.”
"Let's see." Gongsun Xun looked at the river with his hands behind his back, but he didn't take it seriously. "In chaotic times, dragons and snakes arise together. Yu Du Neng's success is not because of himself, but because the politicians are always unable to stabilize the place...
...You see, he used to roam Hebei, with a large crowd, and even easily attacked Yecheng while I was fighting with Yuan Shao. But now that I am north of the river, where can he find a foothold in Hebei? This kind of person,
Killing is easy, but if the place cannot be stabilized, there will always be someone else to take his place. Zhongde, you also know what happened back then. Even Yu Du only did this on behalf of Wang Du and the others who died. Don’t forget it.
How many bones are there on the bottom of the river here, this is where Yu Du's luck lies."
Listening to Gongsun Xun talking about the past, Cheng Yu could only sigh and had nothing to say. Dong Zhao, on the other hand, saw Gongsun Xun getting up and preparing to cross the river to the north, but he couldn't help but stop talking.
"What do you want to say?" Gongsun Xun took two steps and turned back helplessly.
"Two things." Dong Zhao quickly answered seriously. "One is... the other is that the lord seems to have given an order to Xi's military advisor before, asking him not to return to Yecheng in a hurry after Henan, but to go to Chang'an first to escort the old lady and the lord's family.
, and General Wei’s staff are here too?”
"Isn't this a matter of course?" Gongsun Xun stood on the embankment, puzzled for a moment. "In order to lure Yuan Shao, the land controlled was long and narrow, so my family and officials also traveled back and forth and worked hard, sometimes in Changping, sometimes in Chang'an, sometimes in Changshan.
, sometimes Taiyuan, but now that Hebei is at peace, they can settle down in Yecheng..."
"That's not what I mean." Dong Zhao lowered his voice and said, "I mean..."
"Emperor, don't move!" Tian Yuanhao suddenly stepped forward and interrupted.
"What Yuan Hao said is absolutely true, the emperor will not move!" Gongsun Xun finally could no longer pretend to be confused. "The emperor will not move either!"
"Here!" Dong Zhao said immediately.
"Guanzhong is great!" Gongsun Xun had to explain a few more words. "Not to mention the many locks and keys, the Shangshutai and Weiyang Palace are already there, so why bother to move the capital? Moving the capital will shake up the country. If it is not necessary, we can't do it randomly.
...Moreover, Hebei is now a vast expanse of white. If we cannot complete the New Deal, how can we allow the Emperor to come to this land of post-war chaos?"
Everyone had different expressions for a while.
In other words, the reason why Gongsun Xun refused to move the capital to Yecheng was not because at this point, the emperor was useless to him. On the contrary, at this time, the emperor and the Han court were more important to him than ever before, but this kind of
It is important, but it is already double-edged. When Chang Shishan made the decision, what he said about "taking the emperor without being ordered by others" has been implemented to a new level:
In the next few years, Gongsun Xun still needs to control the emperor and ministers to ensure that these people will not fall into the hands of "others" and cause them to lose their justice...especially since the Central Plains Alliance was actually established, and this alliance is different from Yuan Shao's previous one.
It brought together a large number of real heroes, and its political color was too strong towards the Han Dynasty!
In fact, when Yuan Shao fell and Yuan Shu was about to die, the Han Dynasty was something that all the other princes could not let go of. This was the only righteousness they could rely on to fight against Gongsun Xun... As for Gongsun Xun, he
It's not yet the time to fall out, it can even be said that it's still early, he has just started on his own.
On the other hand, since General Wei wants to start over and establish his own system, he also needs to start guarding against interference from the emperor and the ministers of the Old Han Dynasty... After all, despite the suppression, the energy of those who call themselves Han ministers
But it still cannot be ignored. The eldest son and daughter of the emperor and Gongsun Xun are similar in age and extremely smart. At this point, they have gradually become directors. We must be careful about the combination of the two causing trouble and causing unnecessary trouble.
"The king is loyal to the country." After a long pause, others could not help but Dong Zhao had to answer. "I am just worried that the old lady will come here, Wang Shu will govern the ministers, Qi Yuan will often be controlled by the ministers, and there may be trouble in Guanzhong.
…”
"So I kept Jia Wenhe!" Gongsun Xun responded immediately. "What else is there? Aren't they two?"
"I hid an ambush among the Black Mountain bandits before. Later, he took the opportunity to join Yuan Shao's army during the Yecheng incident, and later surrendered with Guo Tu. Although he had no meritorious service, I wanted to find a future for him..."
Dong Zhao said awkwardly, "I hope your lord will be kind to me."
"You are the shepherd of Jizhou, you can handle this kind of thing by yourself!" Gongsun Xun was really helpless. "Hurry up and cross the river!"
Seeing that Gongsun Xun was a little agitated, everyone stopped talking and followed Gongsun Xun's umbrella to prepare to go down the embankment onto the pontoon bridge and walk north. However, before they reached the bridge, they heard shouts of surprise on the pontoon bridge in front of them.
Later, Liu Zhang, the commander of the music department, rushed from the bridge with a moving object in his arms to report:
"My lord, there is a carp jumping on the river to the bridge!"
Everyone was startled.
But almost instantly, Dong Gongren was the first to react and leaned over to congratulate: "My lord is so wise and wise in martial arts. He succeeded in defeating Dong in one year, destroyed Yuan Shao in two years, and now Hebei has been leveled, so this is a sign!"
"Fart!" Gongsun Xun finally couldn't bear it anymore. "It's going to rain. Throw the fish into the water and cross the river quickly!"
No one dared to say anything, and Liu Zhang quickly dropped the carp in his hand and followed.
Not to mention the rush of the day, when Gongsun Xun crossed the Yellow River, there was a heavy rain in summer, so he had to take a rest in Hebei. However, in the evening of the same day, someone sent an urgent message from the direction of Yecheng despite the heavy rain.
A piece of news came out of Chang'an. Yecheng did not dare to neglect it after receiving it, and sent it overnight.
Gongsun Xun opened the envelope and looked at it by the light, but he couldn't help but be startled... It turned out that this letter was sent by Jia Xu in the name of his mother, who admitted in the letter that Sun Wentai was a tiger east of the Yangtze and Liu Xuande was a dragon lying in the Huaihe River.
As for Cao Mengde, a hero in the world, although General Wei is powerful now, once the three families join forces and take all the Central Plains, Jingxiang and Xiang, they may not be able to control it!
Therefore, as early as the beginning of May in Chang'an, after he heard about the alliance between the three families, he made up his mind to declare Lu Bu as the governor of Nanyang, and let him lead his 800 old troops and quietly leave Wuguan.
It was night, rain hit the military tent, and General Wei couldn't sleep all night.
I am a dividing line that feels quite powerless
"In the past, Taizu Taizu leveled Hebei, divided the prefectures and established the system. He passed the Cang Pavilion and built a floating bridge to cross the river. A golden carp jumped from the bridge and turned into a golden dragon and flew away. This is a good omen." "Old Yan Book". Five Elements Chronicles
