The heavy snow delayed the transmission of information, causing a certain backlog of information. However, each of these messages was more powerful than the last. This made Gongsun Xun, who was far away in the winter camp in Wudu, momentarily lose his temper after listening to the messenger's detailed report.
To be fair, what happened in Chang'an-Wuguan was certainly the result of General Wei's evil intentions for a long time, but he really never thought there would be so many accidents.
For example, the variable he was most worried about was used to frighten and intimidate Gongsun Zan from Chang'an, so he specially warned Jingze before leaving. However, who would have thought that Gongsun Bogui would be lured away by Wang Yun when the incident happened.
Instead, Han Rui, the boy, suddenly jumped out and almost blocked the emperor?
For another example, Yang Qi is really not Gongsun Xun's man. Who would have thought that he would have such an arrow? And considering that he later committed suicide by the Danshui River to apologize, it can basically be concluded that this was an accident. The arrow at that time was indeed
It is a stress response at a critical moment.
And Jingze, as the only person who received the spy mission, his original responsibility was only to ensure that the emperor could safely leave Sanfu and reach Nanyang, but he was forced to board the ship and followed him to Nanyang inexplicably! He became the young emperor today.
There are very few people you can rely on, it’s a joke!
However, what really made Gongsun Xun sigh in the whole incident was the death of Liu Yu... Although Liu Boan's death was a direct result of Yang Qi's arrow, but from the side, if it were not caused by coal burning in winter,
Cough symptoms may not necessarily mean that the person was seriously injured and difficult to treat. From this perspective, Liu Yu's death was indeed an accident. But on the other hand, if it weren't for this embarrassing position and if he hadn't been walking on thin ice for many years,
How could this auxiliary minister of the Han Dynasty contract a chronic cough, and how could he appear in front of Yang Qi's arrow? Why was it not Zhao Ping who died?
Therefore, I am afraid it is really unclear whether his death was fate or an accident.
And there is another thing or person that touches Gongsun Xun, that is Mrs. Mei... Liu Yu may not know until his death that the Mrs. Mei he took in in Youzhou was originally a slave girl from Sanhan.
, it was basically Aunt Gongsun who deliberately sent it through Xian Yufu’s hand!
However, now that things have happened, this matter has no meaning. Mrs. Mei has already proved her innocence with her life. What else is there to say or think about?
Even Gongsun Xun could only say one sentence in his heart, never underestimate people's hearts, and then sigh a little, and stop there... Because if you stop here, it will be good for everyone, living or dead!
The snow was deep on Longshan in winter. After hearing the detailed report, General Wei Gongsun Xun meditated alone in his tent for a long time. Even the venison soup froze. Then he summoned Jia Xu and Xi Zhong for a brief discussion.
Jia and Xi had already learned the beginning and end of the matter from the messenger sent by Gongsun Xun. They were well prepared at this time, so the monarch and his ministers got down to business as soon as they met.
"The matter in Chang'an is over." As the Yi Cong on duty took away the soup bowl, Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the couch in the tent, said clearly, "We will return to the army immediately."
"That's right." Xi Zhong immediately nodded in agreement, a little anxiously. "My lord, when he enters Chang'an this time, he must be accompanied by a large army, so no matter how anxious he is, no matter how difficult the road is, he must lead his troops back, and he must do so with great fanfare... Yi Chen
Look, you might as well take advantage of the slack farming season in winter to gather the people from Yongliang and Liang along the way, especially the people newly attached to Liangzhou, and bring them to Chang'an. At that time, you can take advantage of the great victory in Liangzhou and the military power of Yongliang to suppress the ministers of Chang'an, and on the other hand, you can do the opposite.
Using the power of Chang'an to intimidate the people of Liangzhou can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
"It's feasible!" Gongsun Xun simply agreed.
"Since we are going to lead the army back to Chang'an, it will probably take a lot of time. Can we make some adjustments in Chang'an in advance to calm people's hearts?" Jia Xu suddenly raised another question.
"This is natural." Gongsun Xun did not have any ambiguity. "You should also know the details of that day... I want to appoint Han Rui, the commander of Chang'an, as the governor of Wudu, Yin Hanxuan of Jingzhao as the governor of the north, and Feng Feng
Fang was appointed as Jing Zhaoyin, and Zhao Ping was appointed as the guard to temporarily command the Huben army. At the same time, he publicly removed the post-general Gongsun Zan from the Chang'an security power for dereliction of duty, removed him from the post of guard, and 'suggested' that Huang, the official of Guanglu, should
Wan temporarily took charge of the affairs of the Secretariat, and at the same time presided over Liu Bo'an's funeral."
The words were short and contained a lot of information. After Jia Wenhe and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, they immediately nodded and expressed their opinions, but neither of them spoke.
In other words, Gongsun Xun's personnel adjustments for Chang'an are still very clear, and the purpose is also very clear:
For example, Han Rui's promotion was obviously a reward for merit.
After all, strategies are strategies and goals are goals. As an uninformed person, this old classmate who studied under Lu Zhi showed his outstanding loyalty and courage in the 'coup', so there must be
represented.
Correspondingly, the transfer of Jingzhao Yin Hanxuan was a penalty.
The reason is the same as the former, except that this old official who joined the sect in Hanoi and a kinsman of the Central Guards Han Hao seemed too weak in the Chang'an Incident, and as Jing Zhaoyin, he was not aware of this incident.
There is responsibility, so there must be punishment.
And between the rise and fall, Gongsun Xun's basic attitude towards the emperor's departure from Chang'an was undoubtedly revealed - the emperor's trip was wrong, otherwise how could Han Rui, who had tried so hard to stop him that day, be promoted more urgently? And the obstruction was unfavorable.
How could Han Xuan be directly demoted to the post of governor of a poor county?
Therefore, everyone should just stop criticizing the emperor!
In addition, Huang Wan's 'suggestion' to replace Liu Yu and preside over the funeral, and to remove Gongsun Zan, is undoubtedly to appease people's hearts, and also to tell everyone that he will not tear up the skin and make it difficult for everyone, unless it is absolutely necessary.
There will be bloodshed.
As for the final decision to let Feng Fang and Zhao Ping, two people with special status, take over the overall military and political affairs of Chang'an, coupled with the previous reward and punishment for the two Koreas, it is thought that it is enough to prevent a few idiots from making misjudgments again, and at the same time it also makes it easier for some
The people took advantage of the window period during which Gongsun Xun led his troops back to Chang'an to make preparations.
That's right, Gongsun Xun made it clear that he could not give up power - when the emperor was here, he did not delegate power, and when the emperor left, he would not delegate power!
As for Feng Fang and Zhao Ping, as Gongsun Xun's cheap brother-in-law and cheap father-in-law, they were in control of Chang'an's military affairs, and their symbolic significance was far greater than its actual significance.
As for Jia Xu and Xi Zhong who did not speak, they were actually worried about Gongsun Zan, Feng Fang, and Zhao Ping. One of them was scheming and unwilling to comment; the other was loyal and did not take it seriously.
"Since we have to withdraw our troops." Gongsun Xun saw that the two military advisors had no objections, so he simply went ahead, but he frowned for a moment and said, "Hanzhong has to be surrendered... Who will be stationed in Wudu?"
Jia Xu and Xi Zhong also frowned at the same time.
There is no way, Gongsun Xun is too short of infantry commanders!
This is a commonplace question, and it is also an inevitable question. Liaoxi started out, Hebei is the most important, and Guanzhong is also controlled... It is unusual for generals to be good at cavalry! However, Wudu faces Hanzhong and Bashu, so where is the use of cavalry?
The land of martial arts? In fact, this is also the reason why Gongsun Xun is unwilling to take military risks in Hanzhong... The combat effectiveness of the cavalry is greatly reduced, and the ship will capsize if not careful.
As for the few infantry generals under Gongsun Xun, Gao Shun, Zhang Jia, and Xu Huang, they all have to prepare for major events in the Central Plains. On the contrary, they are even more reluctant to waste them here, and it is hard not to leave generals to garrison them!
"Then let's take Zilong!" Gongsun Xun thought about it for a long time and could only make this arrangement. "He has recently made great achievements, so he has an appointment; and he is hardworking and hardworking, and he will not feel resentful because he is idle for a while. Let him
In the name of the champion general, he was stationed in Wudu and commanded many important roads in Longshang..."
At this point, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but feel pity: "In fact, if Hanzhong can be conquered, we can set up a general in the military capital of Longnan and Hanzhong. He can shock Liangzhou in the north, suppress Bashu in the south, and if necessary, he can also go eastward along the Mian River.
Nanyang and Xiangyang, the so-called advancement and retreat can be used as surprise troops when necessary. But this time it was abandoned halfway."
"It's just a pretense, don't worry about it, my lord." Xi Zhong couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade. "Chang'an is the main purpose of our westward journey. We discussed at that time that if necessary, we can give up even the Xiliang matter, let alone the
Hanzhong?"
"People are not suffering enough." Gongsun Xun nodded and said yes. "Today I understand Guangwu's mentality back then. Although the harvest from this trip to the west has already exceeded expectations, I still can't help but want to get more... These are all
It’s all thanks to your careful planning!”
Xi Zhicai also laughed. After all, although the process of this westward journey was often unexpected, in terms of the result, their many years of planning was declared a great success, and when Gongsun Xun returned to Chang'an to complete the final
One step later, what General Wei is about to usher in is a qualitative leap for himself and even for the entire Hebei military and political group.
It was no wonder that the drama lover, who had gradually become calm over the years, could not help but feel happy again.
However, when thinking of this, the opera hero couldn't help but slightly shrink his face, and sighed for a moment: "My lord is ridiculous. In fact, if my lord hadn't been able to stabilize the overall situation, sit in Hebei for three years and run Jiuzhou, why would everything be as smooth as it is today, and even the water in the canal would often overflow?"
? Looking back now, what changes in the political situation, what surprises people's hearts, what stubbornness and stubbornness, what are they in the face of the three years of great rule in Jiuzhou, Hebei? The so-called strange plots, of course, have been unexpected many times.
It is expected that it will cause waves, but it will never be able to match the general trend and will eventually fall into the mainstream. And I repeatedly encouraged my lord to take dangerous strategies back then, but now it seems that I have inevitably fallen behind. In short, I think that today's situation can be achieved.
, it is also the credit of countless subordinates in Hebei."
"One code leads to another." Gongsun Xun quickly waved his hand. "Your plan is still very effective... This split of the Han Dynasty made the emperor almost go alone, and he did not have enough power to suppress us in turn;
On the other hand, the ministers in the court lost their power and had to rely on me... This kind of clever strategy could not be solved by me alone. If it weren't for you, Yuan Chang, Wen He... why didn't Wen He say anything?"
"Report to my lord." Jia Xu suddenly came to his senses and responded immediately. "I was thinking about what I just said to the military advisor..."
"How is it?" Gongsun Xun was curious for a moment, and Xi Zhong couldn't help but respond seriously.
"That's very well said." Jia Wenhe also answered with a serious look. "The overall situation is like this. Any unexpected things and intrigues are just superficial things! So, why doesn't the lord talk to you again before leaving?
Zhang Lu tested it out, either through coercion or sincerity. In short, he tried his best before leaving and did not ask him to surrender immediately, so as to leave room for the use of troops or recruitment in the future..."
"Yes." Gongsun Xun immediately agreed. "Does Wen He think he should be intimidating or sincere?"
"There's no point in complaining, my lord, just follow your heart." Jia Xu put down his twirling hand and spread his hands in response.
Gongsun Xun was thoughtful.
The twelfth lunar month of winter is approaching, and the winter is deep. Because of the great changes in Chang'an, General Wei Gongsun Xun is about to return to the court. At this time, Liu Yan has been reluctant to release Zhang Lu's mother because of the geographical advantage, and Jiang Qian has not been there for a long time.
Returning, the affairs in Hanzhong will inevitably be canceled midway.
But before leaving, General Wei wrote a private letter to Zhang Lu.
The content of the letter is very simple, saying only three things:
First, he frankly introduced the major events that happened in Chang'an and told the other party that he had to abandon Hanzhong and Bashu, withdraw his troops and return eastward.
Secondly, he told Zhang Gongqi that although he governed Hanzhong with Taoism and law, which was a typical crooked way, the situation under his rule was stable and people's hearts were stable, so he still recognized the other party's governance level and asked him to continue to maintain his respect for Hanzhong.
Rule effectively to avoid unrest and affecting people's livelihood.
Finally, Gongsun Xun confessed another little thing to Zhang Tianshi in the letter, that is, "The Romance of the Gods", which the other party has always been curious about and has written to ask about many times, is not actually a Taoist truth, and the setting words in it are all those of his mother.
It was just made up. Not only was Gongsun Xun not the reincarnation of King Wu or God Erlang, but he was quite disdainful of this book, because everything in the book was destined to be destined, and it was inevitable that he would be inferior.
In fact, even Gongsun Auntie, the 'author', now looks back at this book and feels that it is a bit empty, except that it involves King Wu's defeat of Zhou and many gods and monsters, which is quite influential and cannot be changed easily.
However, the foundation of Taoism still belongs to Lao Tzu's rule of inaction, and the rest are just attachments.
Even further, Gongsun Xun stated in his letter that even though he respected the Taoist idea of governing by doing nothing and Zhang Lu's contribution to stabilizing the situation in Hanzhong with Taoism, in terms of political philosophy, he was different from Taoists.
It goes against the grain and is closer to the path of Confucianism and Legalism.
He didn't want to hide this.
At the same time as the letter was sent to Nanzheng, there was also an official document from Gongsun Xun formally presenting Zhang Lu as the governor of Hanzhong as the ruling general.
However, after the official documents and letters were delivered, Nanzheng did not respond at all.
Gongsun Xun only left a hidden button, and didn't have any extra hope, so he ignored it. He only left Zhao Yun to lead Cheng Yin, who had just been promoted to captain, to garrison Wudu with 5,000 cavalry, and then he left.
Without any hesitation, he personally led the army from Sanguan back into Guanzhong, and met with 7,000 Liangzhou knights in Chencang where the snow had melted. Then he turned to the west, collecting three auxiliary knights and sharp soldiers along the way, and prepared to enter Chang'an.
Set the overall situation.
However, the winter was deep, and when the army slowly walked to the logistics base camp of Yiwu, they met an unexpected person-Hanzhong Prefect Zhang Lu and Zhang Gongqi came out of the ramp to this point, almost alone.
————I don’t know what the dividing line is————
"The theory of destiny belongs to man. Why put the cart before the horse and use heaven to decide people? You call yourself a heavenly master, manipulate ghosts and gods, and yet you control chaos in Hanzhong, how can it be better than the virtue of five buckets of rice? Therefore, it is said: Everyone can strengthen himself, and then he will be able to
He has conquered the heavens. I hope you will think about it." - "A Letter from General Gui Sanguan and Zhang Tianshi". Yan Gongsun Xun
