Chapter 30 Is the Purple Air and Yellow Flag Accident? (End)
The military parade on Dragon Boat Festival was uneventful.
After all, for the important ministers in Ye who were used to seeing thousands of troops and horses, they had to ride with Gongsun Xun for more than 10,000 steps in front of Ye, and then accompany Gongsun Xun to stand on the bronze bird platform to watch.
The soldiers walked away from the stage and listened to them shouting a few words of long live and ten thousand victories... Actually, that's what it was like.
Even Lou Zibo, who used to say that a real man should lead thousands of horses behind him when he is alive, is no longer so easy to get excited after experiencing so many wars.
Because for these people who have actually been on the battlefield, ten thousand military parades are not as exciting and scary as a single assault on the real battlefield.
In fact, even Yan Gong Gong Sun Xun himself felt a little bored and absent-minded... This is understandable. After returning to Yecheng, the leader of the Yan Kingdom established many Yan Kingdom systems in one go.
However, in his base camp, he encountered many backlashes similar to those when he posthumously named his father a civil servant. Large-scale petitions and face-to-face remonstrances came one after another.
For example, some people think that although eunuchs can be recognized and cheered by the scholars for a while, eunuchs themselves are still indispensable to the palace women. It is okay to keep everything simple now, but when Yan Gong is unified
In the world, if you live in a place like the Weiyang Palace in the South Palace and the North Palace, just using guards and followers will cause substantial problems.
For another example, some people have collectively pointed out that the system of the seven prime ministers is very good, which is also an important reason why Yan Gong's establishment is so popular. However, there is no status of clan members and relatives in it, which is really worrying. So.
, they hope that Gongsun Xun can set up a special seat for the clan or relatives, or publicly announce that the clan can enter the dynasty and become the prime minister, so as to reassure people.
In addition, some military generals are also worried about the fact that the prime ministers are all civilians and are highly professional. They are also worried about the status of military personnel in the Yan Kingdom in the future.
However, the most concentrated advice came from the establishment of a reserve. This matter was really important. Only then did the self-righteous Duke Yan and the Queen Mother of Yan realize that their self-righteous mother and son's self-righteous canonical reserve system for later generations was seeking stability in the hearts of the people.
Under the thinking, it seems inappropriate!
Not to mention the large-scale memorials requesting the immediate establishment of a direct heir to establish a throne, people like Lu Fan and Tian Feng, after knowing clearly that Gongsun Xun had plans, still secretly and openly urged Gongsun Xun to give up that idea.
Create a secret reserve system and return to your direct descendants.
Gongsun Xun's worries about the quality of the future emperor's eldest son were also refuted by them with various mature Han Dynasty systems.
To be honest, the reason why Gongsun Xun and Gongsun’s wife kept a secret reserve system was not because they had any thoughts about Gongsun Ding, nor for fishing, nor to reflect on the Han Dynasty system!
The hesitation about this matter, as well as the hesitation of their mother and son about the clan's position in the national system, actually did not come from reflection on the Han Dynasty system, but came from the lessons of the so-called "future" and "Eight Kings Rebellion".
"Why not eat minced meat" and the "minorities going south" triggered by the melee of the Eight Kings are really frightening.
But it is obvious that the mother and son have ignored the basic demand of this era-stability!
What everyone wants is peace of mind, stability, and prosperity, not all kinds of uncertainty.
In fact, after four or five days of discussion, Gongsun, mother and son have now softened somewhat.
After all, the existence of the seven-phase system itself will provide some support for the phenomenon of "why not eat minced meat". As for the clan, by the same token, if the bureaucracy can strengthen stability, let the so-called clan merge into the bureaucracy.
There seems to be no need to worry too much - in any case, since the main idea is to delegate power to bureaucrats, why bother worrying about some accidents and possibilities in a state where monarchy has solemn power?
To put it bluntly, if there really is a "why not eat minced meat" and "minorities going south", there must be a big chaos in the middle, and the foundation of the country will be gone. In that case, Gongsun, who has a strong sense of historical responsibility, cannot be blamed.
On the mother and son’s head, right?
However, these are things for later, and everything can be discussed after the war. And this is the advantage of the country's early creation. As the founder and the first generation, you can revise your ideas at any time, especially the establishment of the reserve system and the clan.
These two important issues of the system are still unannounced and cannot even be called changes.
Think slowly, and when you have figured it out, you can release it directly.
At worst, Gongsun Xun would be blamed according to the ideas of those memorials - the dignified Duke of Yan, who was second to none in the world, had no dignity, and actually tried to use his son to restrain his father-in-law because his father-in-law could not bear to use force against the Han Emperor.
Then it will only cause some ridicule from future generations, but it will not lose a few hairs.
Back to the present, Gongsun Xun and the important ministers had no feelings about the military parade. This does not mean that the soldiers and people of Yexia had no feelings about the military parade.
There is no way, there is so little cultural life these days! Ordinary people hold sacrifices at certain festivals throughout the year, and they feel very satisfied and have a sense of ritual. After the Cuju competition came out, they never got tired of it, and it almost became a way to hold city fairs in the north.
Standard features, such as the dragon boat race imported from the south, are now the only new thing in the north. It was held for the first time last year under the care of Gongsun Auntie, who was not yet the Queen Mother. How had she ever seen a military parade?
The military parade ended in the morning, with dragon boats at noon, a banquet in the afternoon to see the officers and soldiers, and rewards (mainly various coupons for the Amway) to officials and sergeants in the world (actually half of them). In the evening, the elders and three elders of Wei County were invited.
, university lecturers, outstanding grassroots officials and officers and soldiers boarded the Tongque Terrace to drink with the leader of the Yan Kingdom and important ministers.
This was not over yet. At the same time as the Tongquetai banquet in the evening, Gongsun Xun waved his hand and came with a new order. He said that because the new building of Tongquetai was built and it was the Dragon Boat Festival in May, so in the next three days, Yexia
City bans, curfews, and city bans will be removed, and markets inside and outside the city will be allowed to open for three days. Amway will also open up the supply of exchange goods.
Suddenly, the excitement in Yexia obviously increased to a higher level. Many qualified restaurants and teahouses inside and outside the city were even ready to open all night... After all, the only people who have the energy to spend money in this emerging industry in the middle of the night these days are
Apart from college students, who is not a high-ranking official, and who can’t get back the lamp oil money from them?
Even among college students, how many of them are truly poor?
Gongsun Xun's strategy of recruiting scholars through science and technology only left room for the real bottom in the system, but it could not break through the barriers of hundreds of years of political and cultural traditions and economic costs in a short period of time.
"Cai Gong!"
"Master Cai!"
"Cai Guozhang!"
In the evening of that day, about three or four miles away from Tongque Terrace, that is, in the Nanshi Zhong outside the south city of Yecheng, in one of the tallest and most conspicuous teahouses, there followed a man with small eyes, an upturned nose, thick lips, and short eyebrows.
, a man with dark complexion and a green scarf on his head entered with the support of a servant. Many college students, grassroots officials and officers in the hall stood up to greet him.
"Aiya... everyone, sit down, everyone, sit down. Although today is called the Dragon Boat Festival, it is not commemorating Dr. Qu Yuan like the Queen Mother. It is because today is the so-called most evil day, and the stars are flying in the sky.
Therefore, today is the time to put aside the mundane things and rituals, play and sweat as much as possible, so as to relieve the Yang Qi and get rid of bad things and diseases... Please don't worry about me, just have a pot of tea with me, and just play the game.
..." Cai Bojie obviously drank too much on the Tongque stage, and his words were a bit loud and garbled, but he was still in a good mood, and everyone was happy to see him not pretending to be pretentious.
However, just when several students gave up their seats and were about to take advantage of Teacher Cai's tea money, at this moment, someone from above poked his head out and greeted him from a distance: "But Mr. Cai in person? My Majesty Huangfu Jianshou, my father and I
Handan Wei Gong, Zhi Jin and Ma Gong are both playing cards and drinking tea on the third floor to eat and escape the heat..."
"Oh my, are the three relatives here just by chance?! I just said that they disappeared in the blink of an eye..." Cai Bozhe was greatly moved when he heard this. He stood up immediately and couldn't wait to go upstairs.
After Huangfu Jianshou confirmed that it was Cai Yong, he quickly went downstairs to greet him. As for those students, they had already taken the initiative to help Cai Yong go upstairs. On the contrary, Huangfu Jianshou himself came downstairs.
I sat down with a few acquaintances from Kansai students and officials and drank wild bean tea.
Not to mention what is going on downstairs, there are about ten people sitting scattered on the third floor, but most of them are attendants and students who came to serve on the road. There is only one table near the window, because the night breeze here can bring cool air to Zhangshui.
Straight into the attic, so Cai Yong, Huangfu Song, Wei Song, and Ma Teng, the four "nobles" who had just returned from Tongque Terrace, sat down, but they were also very comfortable and as excited as those downstairs.
Among them, Huangfu Song had the highest status. In addition, he was the person who connected Ma Teng and the two university lecturers. Therefore, after taking a sip of warm tea, he touched the animal card and sighed: "I have lived in chaos in Kansai all my life.
But you don’t want to live like this? I’m half drunk today, just like in a dream.”
"What Mr. Huangfu said is very true," Ma Teng couldn't wait to say. "Liangzhou was in such chaos that day, and then Dong Zhuo caused chaos again. Who could have imagined that they would be able to enjoy what they are today? Plus, being half-drunk today, isn't it true?
It's like a dream... If I had known this, I would have been here long ago."
Over there, Cai Yong raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to say something, but he heard that Huangfu Song suddenly lost his temper and laughed in front of everyone, as if he had thought of something, and he couldn't help but look at each other curiously with the other three.
"But what I said is wrong?" Although Ma Teng is currently the person with the highest actual position, he still feels guilty in front of these three cultural figures.
"It's not about laughing at longevity." Huangfu Yizhen signaled Cai Yong to quickly play his cards, while shaking his head and laughing again. "I thought of the appearance of Kong Wenju on the Tongque stage tonight... I couldn't help but want to laugh."
When the others heard this, they all laughed. Even the most mature Wei Song couldn't help but scatter the animal cards in his hands.
It turns out that although Kong Rong was mainly active in the university, unlike Cai Yong, Huangfu Song, and Wei Song, he still had some political status in Ye, and he also had some serious work on weekdays, which was quite different from Ma Teng.
similar.
Moreover, compared with Ma Teng, he did not have the taboo of being demoted to the generals. On the contrary, because his family was still in prime time, it was theoretically possible for him to advance politically, so he always liked to be promoted.
It turned out to be okay, he just complained in the university, and there was no shortage of his complaints in the university. But this year, a large number of Qingzhou Confucian students who had served Yuan Shao had completed their three-year labor reform period and regained their freedom... Most of them were
An old acquaintance of Kong Rong's former official...either returned to his hometown or came to Ye to seek a living, which gave Kong Wenju some help in disguise. Then Gongsun Xun established himself as a public official again, and all seven ministers came out at the same time. In the end, Kong Rong's heart was tickled.
I couldn't bear it, I couldn't help but jump up and down!
Therefore, since Gongsun Xun returned to Ye, the former Kong Beihai has changed his writings, from the official system to etiquette, from the crown prince to the clan, from recommending Qingzhou talents to commenting on the southern military strategy.
The loyalty is beyond words.
However, Gongsun Xun remained silent and did not respond to any of his memorials. Kong Wenju was also a temperamental person. He waited for three or four days and disappeared. In addition, after the military parade, Gongsun
It is very likely that Xun will organize a war and head south directly. There will be no chance at that time, so his nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes.
While watching the military parade in the morning, Kong Wenju began to make some outrageous remarks among university lecturers and students, such as, "The Northern Army has nothing to show for its appearance, but its hopes are vain." Even the soldiers and horses watching the Han Dynasty military parade in the East could not compare with that day;
Why is it that "the world has not yet been settled, so we should be so extravagant. Looking at it from this point of view, the ups and downs will work, and the South may not be unable to defeat the North in this battle." In the end, the Han family's righteousness was brought up, and those who didn't know thought he was going to be the leader again.
Where are the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty!
The results of it?
As a result, when the banquet was given in the evening, Duke Yan proposed a toast one by one. When it was Kong Rong's turn, he took the other's hand and talked sincerely about the remarks in the memorial in the past few days, saying that he was very educated and would definitely take it seriously.
Thinking about it, it's just that the war is at the forefront and needs to be postponed for the time being.
Not only that, Yan Gongfu also talked about the Qingzhou talents recommended by the other party who were "released after serving their sentences", such as Shiyi, Peng Miao, Bing Yuan, etc. He actually approved them and said that he was going to make a little investigation.
It was about to be used... At this time, Kong Rong's dissatisfaction had already flown to the Kunlun Mountains, and when Gongsun Xun earnestly asked him if he could take up the post of Taichang Temple Minister among the twelve temples in the Yan Kingdom, he was idle for five years.
After Kong Wenju's six-year promise, he actually wrote a six-character poem on the spot, praising the virtues of Duke Yan, and stating that there were five reasons why the Southern Army was bound to lose, and there were four reasons why the Northern Army was bound to win!
To be honest, if Huangfu Song and others had not heard Kong Rong’s complaints down below, they would have thought that he had been in love with Duke Yan for decades!
"From Beijing to Ye Weiwei, Duke Yan cared about the country and was selfless..." Cai Yong couldn't help laughing when he thought of Kong Rong's six-character poem. "This kind of poem cannot be written by an old man."
"What is this?" Huangfu Song shook his head and laughed. "This is not the first time that Kong Wenju has written this kind of six-character poem. After Yan Gong attacked Dong to Xiwu that day, he was as active as he is today, and he also wrote it in public.
A poem, Cai Gong happened to be away at that time... I will read it to you... Yuan Dong was divided into disputes. He moved the capital to Chang'an and missed his return. He looked sadly at Hebei. He dreamed of Gongsun's return!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, even Ma Teng, a big old man, couldn't stop laughing... This poem is so straightforward.
"Actually, I'm just drunk today, so I took the opportunity to say something drunk." After laughing, Cai Bojie suddenly sighed again. "I know something about Kong Wenju's appearance. Before Dong Zhuo's chaos, I actually
I am no different from him, but I feel that I live in this world and have no talent. Why don't the kings use me, but those villains? So I keep complaining on weekdays, but I just want to get an appointment... and I don't bribe to get an official.
, there is no selling out to friends...selling out the old for glory, it seems a little rude, why should you laugh at him?"
"It's different." Huangfu Song continued to shake his head. "It is said that ministers are like beauties, and monarchs are like libertines. Therefore, all literati have the heart to resent their wives, but there is a difference between resenting women and resenting women... When Emperor Ling was in the dynasty,
Although Cai Gong complained, he was basically able to say something meaningful. Who can say that your advice back then was wrong? As for Kong Wenju, it’s okay to lose his temper on the Tongque platform today, but he said it in the daytime.
Those words mean that Duke Yan is magnanimous. If it were someone else, he might just chop down the sacrificial flag in the name of chaos!"
"That's right." Wei Song suddenly spoke solemnly. "It's fine if those young people have little experience and can't understand. We, the old people, have been treating chaos, and then treating chaos. Don't we still know what is going on in this world?
Is it the most precious thing? What is the favor of the monarch, what is the struggle for hegemony, what is the bureaucracy, what is the ethics of classics, what is the final goal? Isn’t it just to be able to seek peace and tranquility in every corner of the world, just like Yexia today?
? It has taken decades and many wars to show how valuable it is today... Kong Wenju was arrogant in front and respectful in the back, we just laughed at it; but what he said during the military parade today is so extravagant, the South may not be able to defeat the North, I am indeed a little bit
angry!"
"Wei Gong has hit the point." Before Cai Yong could say anything, Ma Teng immediately followed and sighed. "When I was in a place like Xiliang, why did I have to use weapons? Isn't it because I couldn't survive?
?If we could have today's peace and tranquility, who would be upset? The surrender that day was due to the strong soldiers and strong horses of Duke Yan, but I still don't understand how Duke Yan could reach this point with a few soldiers and strong horses in western Liaoning. When he arrived at Ye, although he still couldn't tell Duke Wei
He said such great truths, but he had already fully realized it in his heart, and all thoughts were gone."
At this point, Ma Teng may have felt that he had made a mistake, so he put down the wooden sign and bowed with his hands in his hands: "I was half drunk today, and the warm wind blew me up, so I said a few words from my heart. Don't be surprised."
"On the most evil day of the Dragon Boat Festival, we should be so unbridled. It is the most rare thing for friends to communicate with each other and to be honest with each other!" Cai Yong waved to him. "What do you need to care about?"
"Don't worry about what you say!" Huangfu Song raised his head and laughed. "Weren't you the one who persuaded Duke Yan to marry his daughter to the emperor? And after Mrs. Cai gave Duke Yan a daughter, I heard that for many years
You won’t mention this matter.”
Cai Bojie's face turned red for a moment, but before he could speak, Huangfu Yizhen suddenly felt sad: "It's nothing else, but it's a pity for Liu Bo'an!"
The table was silent for a moment.
"Let's see!" After a while, Wei Song shook his head. "I have lived in Hebei for decades and have never seen how smart the emperor is. But today's situation cannot be blamed on Duke Yan, right?"
"Yes, it's rare to have some unbridled fun on the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's not talk about this." Huangfu Song also shook his head repeatedly. "We are a bunch of old people, having fun... There are so many new things in the army, what can't be done?"
Several people were relieved immediately, but continued to play cards and talk about the one-year-old son that Mrs. Bian gave birth to to Gongsun Xun, his eldest daughter, General Dong Zhao, and the future of each family's heirs.
From Sima Yi's forcible promotion of the title to join the army, to the fight before Yexia University... However, after all the talk, in the end, he still couldn't escape the battle in front of him!
"Mr. Huangfu, you are a long-time general of the country. I am a loyal general. All the generals in my army have asked you to lecture on the art of war many times. Please tell me frankly, how will this battle be?" Wei Song frowned at each other.
"What can we do?" Huangfu Song said nonchalantly while playing cards. "No one can say for sure the outcome of such a war. It's just that Duke Yan has always been good at fighting, so an extra point counts. But the current situation in Hebei is...
Even if we lose, we will not be in danger of overthrowing, but if we win, we will annex the Central Plains! Why, Wei Gong has lived in Hebei for a long time, why do you have doubts?"
"That's it." Wei Song turned around in relief and looked at a high-spirited young man in blue shirt at the table next to him. "Actually, today it's not just Kong Wenju who said that reviewing troops and horses is a bit 'frivolous', I, a student, am here today.
The word 'floating' was also mentioned during the military parade, but it was later than what Kong Wenju said, and he didn't say it until the middle of the military parade. As a student, I don't usually make big talk, so I couldn't help but feel a little flustered for a moment."
When the young man in green shirt heard the words, he immediately stood up and bowed under the lantern to salute, which caused the other students around him who had been listening to the secret for a long time to look sideways and unconvinced - with such a strong army and horses, how could it be vain?
"What's your name?" Huangfu Song continued playing cards and asked without looking up.
"Boy Langya Zhuge Liang." The young man in green shirt, Zhuge Liang who had been silent all night, immediately bowed his head again.
"Good eyesight!" Huangfusong finally raised his head, but squinted slightly. "Good looks! Good talent!"
Zhuge Liang did not dare to say anything, but leaned forward and bowed again.
"So, are the elites under my command really vain?" Cai Bojie was curious for a moment. "Didn't Kong Wenju speak out of anger?"
"What kind of soldier does Kong Wenju know?" Huangfu Song couldn't help laughing. "When he said it was vain, it was when the elite of Zhang Wenyuan's army, who had just defeated the Baima Qiang, passed by him... On the contrary, in the middle of the military parade, the atmosphere was already heated.
Later, there were indeed thousands of people on horseback, and there was some suspicion that they were just trying to make up for the numbers. The word "floating" was just in line with the situation."
"What's going on?" Wei Song became more and more nervous.
"It's nothing..." Huangfu Song became more and more unconcerned. "I know the quality of the elite under my command, and I have seen them all. There are no idlers, so some of the elite must have gone on official business, so I found them.
Some local Wei County soldiers or Shiwu auxiliary soldiers put on refined iron armor and iron helmets and pretended to be there... Have any of you seen Xu Gongming, who is best at attacking today? Let's wait and see, at least tomorrow, as many as three
There should be good news in five days... I can only say that it is rare for a student like Wei Gong to have such foresight."
Everyone was shocked at first, and then suddenly realized.
"Young man from Langya, I see that you are quite talented, would you like to learn the art of war from me?" Seeing this, Huangfu Song didn't say much. Instead, he held a wooden sign and pointed at Zhuge Liang.
"Young man likes to read, but I don't want to ask for a deep understanding. If Mr. Huangfu is willing to teach, I am willing to learn. However, what I have learned has never been good. If I achieve nothing, I hope Mr. Huangfu will forgive me." After saying this, Zhuge Liang bowed and paid homage.
"It doesn't matter." Huangfu Song felt more and more comfortable. "Those people all day long thought that I, Duke Yan, and the Right Prime Minister had some secrets of military art, and if they got it, they could become famous generals of the country. As everyone knows, the key to the two words of "art of war" is
By analogy, keep all the miscellaneous knowledge in your heart, and then use it with one mind. The rest is talent, experience and courage! And since you have done this, I will put on the airs of a teacher and do something...
...Tomorrow I will recommend you to go out with the army to gain experience! Please note that such a battle, even if you accompany the army to help wash horses all day long, it is enough to make a person reborn, so you must not miss it!"
Zhuge Liang leaned down and bowed again, but although Wei Song was reluctant to give up for a while, he did not stop him in the end.
At this point, everyone had finished playing a round of animal cards. They had already eaten and cooled down, and were ready to return home after all the fun. They all got up. However, before they could clean up, they suddenly saw a number of people riding white horses galloping towards Nanshi.
Below the city, someone shouts and announces something, and then the whole building is likely to be overturned by the noise from below...
The people upstairs got Huangfu Song’s advice and were well prepared, so they could hear clearly.
It turned out that those who had followed what they said were Xu Huang and Zhang Zha who made a long-distance attack, leading 3,000 elite troops from their headquarters, 5,000 Weijun soldiers, and 5,000 Hanoi soldiers to successfully sneak across the Yellow River to Baimajin, and then go down to Dongjun in a battle.
The important town of Baima City!
So far, who still doesn’t understand?
All the military parades and extravagances are all pretentious. Even after becoming Duke of Yan, Gongsun Xun was still the sharp-edged Gongsun Xun, and he was still the white-horse general whose sharpness and tenacity were the best in the world!
After Cao Cao received the full support of Liu Biao and Liu Bei, he publicly issued a letter of war to Yecheng, claiming to have an army of 700,000. He wanted to join Gongsun Xun in Baima, a pun-intended river town. He did not know why.
I still feel confident to be brave.
The result? Before both sides mobilized, Gongsun Xun first built a plank road to visit Chen Cang secretly, and captured the white horse in a surprise attack in response to his invitation.
It can only be said that although the broken blade in Yan Gong's arms has not been unsheathed for several years, it is still as sharp as ever. It's just those college students. Others don't know, Huangfu Song, Ma Teng, Cai Yong, and Wei Song.
How could he not know Gongsun Xun's sharpness?
So the four of them were in a comfortable mood and didn't bother to pay attention to the students who gathered at Tongque Terrace again in the middle of the night, and drove directly into the city to rest.
"The Heavenly Card is Xuande?"
Three days later, in the Chen County Hall of Chen Guo, Cao Mengde received the second gift of the day from Gongsun Xun only half a day after receiving the news of the fall of Baima, and had just dispatched reinforcements. However, when he opened it in public, he found that it was a set gift.
Beautifully crafted wooden animal plaques.
However, in the middle of this set of animal cards, instead of the corresponding paper animal images as usual, there are clearly printed names, resumes and other text of certain people.
For example, when Cao Mengde opened it at this time, he saw that the first heaven card was labeled with Liu Xuande's name, official position and description of his appearance.
"Is the land card Liu Jingsheng?" Cao Cao opened another card in the order arranged in the box, and couldn't help but frown more and more.
At the same time, Jiang Gan below stood still among many civil and military personnel, his so-called expressionless face turning a deaf ear.
"Four dragon cards... Wen Ruo, Lu Zijing, Zhou Gongjin, Yuan Rang? That's appropriate." Cao Mengde continued to look through them in order, but he couldn't help but become more interested. "Four tiger cards... Jiuyuan
Lu Bu, Wu Jun Sun Ce, Jiujiang Zhou Tai, Nanyang Huang Zhong, Wen Qi are really thinking about the Central Plains! Four horse cards, Miaocai, Zixiao, Wenqian, Jingze... Zixiao, look at it, you are a horse
Xia Qianlima is the same as Miaocai and Wen Qian... Unfortunately, Miaocai has just set off to support Yanjin, and Wen Qian is probably already on the front line."
Next to him, Cao Ren quickly took the cards, but gave the two dragon cards to Xiahou Dun and Xun Yu, who were beside him, to look at them, and then looked at his own card, and immediately smiled... By the way, the animal cards are so early in the morning.
It is not the simple way of playing in order at the beginning, but because of the nature of the animals themselves, many additional interesting ways of playing have evolved, which completely exceeded Aunt Gongsun's imagination.
It can only be said that the wisdom of the working people has always been higher than that of Aunt Gongsun.
But in any case, the horse card has always been in a higher position. Its universality is only lower than that of the dragon and tiger, but it is common knowledge in both the north and the south. No wonder Cao Ren was proud of it for a while.
"Four dog tags, Nanyang Wenpin, Runan Li Tong, Runan Chen Dao, Lingling Huang Gai..." Cao Cao actually liked it more and more the more he looked at it. "Oh, Jiang Ziyi, your Yan Gong is afraid that I don't know all the people in the Central Plains."
Are you a passerby? You are specially asked to send this thing to remind me so as not to miss the general?"
"That's not what I meant." Jiang Gan said with a slight embarrassment. "This is for bounties. All officers in our army have them, and every song also has a pair..."
"What do you mean?" Cao Cao, who was sitting in the seat, was obviously startled.
"That's right." Jiang Qian raised his hands and faced the north and replied seriously. "When the Yan Kingdom was founded, the title was vacant, so it is suitable for this... For example, if you get one of the Dragon Tablets, you can immediately be granted the title of Marquis of the founding county of the Yan Kingdom, and the Tiger Tablet,
The horse tiles are all local marquises, the dog tiles, and the sheep tiles can be the rank lords, and the rest below are not marquises, but they all have corresponding rewards..."
Cao Cao was still in a daze, Xiahou Dun immediately glared, but Xun Yu still smiled and said nothing. Only Cao Ren laughed in embarrassment at first, and then hid his cards in his arms: "Don't you think I am worth a country prince among my old friends?"
What about cards and land cards?"
"The founding of the country has established the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!" Jiang Qian had no intention of covering up.
"It seems like your Yan Gong's method, but even Liu Xuande has offered a reward." Cao Cao came to his senses and shook his head. "But there is no reward for me and the emperor?"
"How can the emperor offer a reward?" Jiang Gan smiled awkwardly. "I originally wanted to invite the emperor to return to Chang'an, but Duke Cao actually offered a reward... Along with Yang Wenxian, Yuan Gongli, and Xuzhou Chen Gui..."
Cao Cao became more and more strange: "It's just Yuan Yang, Chen Gui...could it be that they are still arranged according to their families? And why are the four of me not included in the card? But it's not easy to offer a reward?"
"I'm in." Jiang Qian became more cautious and embarrassed.
"Never seen it before?"
"The four Duke Cao are monkey cards, below!"
The whole hall was silent.
But Jiang Gan could only bite the bullet and continue: "Besides, my Duke Yan has one more thing to say, and asked me to pass it on to General Fenwu..."
"Come on!" Cao Cao responded coldly.
"He said that General Fenwu stole a cat from his house in the past, and today he should return a real dragon...and by the time the news from the front reached Chen County, he must have led his elite troops across the river to Baima to accept the invitation.
Please also ask General Fenwu not to delay any longer, otherwise Xiahou Miaocai will be killed!" Jiang Gan took a long breath and responded with a deep voice.
"What a cat, dragon, not to mention, how did he know that I would send Xiahou Miaocai to help?" Cao Cao still sat motionless. "Could it be that you just heard about the military situation and bluffed me casually?"
Jiang Gan took a long breath again, then took out a brochure bag from his arms and handed it to Xu Chu, who was standing beside him. Xu Chu looked through it and took out a piece of paper.
Cao Cao took the first place above.
"My Lord Yan has long predicted that if General Fenwu sends troops to support the front line, he will definitely use Xiahou Miaocai as the first mover." Jiang Gan became more confident, but it aroused the surrounding Cao family's civil and military officials to talk about it. "The words in the brochure are:
Written in Luoyang more than ten days ago!"
Cao Mengde ignored Jiang Gan, but when he saw his old friend's handwriting clearly written the four characters "Xiahou Miaocai", he stood up and drew his sword, and with just one sword cut the boxes in front of him and the box of animal cards.
open!
The cases were divided into two parts, and the animal cards were scattered all over the floor. However, they were shaken from side to side, but they couldn't help but keep silent.
"Everyone!" Cao Mengde held his blade and looked around. "I know Gongsun Wenqi very well. When he was weak, he went to Pei County to see the Yellow Dragon. Looking back now, he had a rebellious heart at that time.
It has been preserved! But now, the reason why they dare not take over the Han Dynasty is nothing more than fear of Dong Zhuo, Er Yuan, Ma Han, San Liu and me, Cao Cao! Now Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao are dead, and Yuan Shu has been abolished
, Liu Yan wavered, Han Ma surrendered, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei did not dare to confront him, so the weight of the world and the survival of the Han Dynasty were all on my shoulders, Cao Cao! Therefore, I have made up my mind to take Wen Ruo as the rear.
The general guard, without waiting for reinforcements from Lu Zijing, will first gather a hundred thousand tigers and warriors from Chen County, march north to the white horse, and fight with them! I hope you will fight hard and follow me forward. If there are any retreaters, this is just a case!"
After saying this, he threw the mess on the ground, picked up the white knife and spared Jiang Qian, who was in the hall, and led countless civil and military officials out of the hall!
Jiang Gan stood frozen for a moment, then leaned down to pick up an animal card under the gaze of the soldiers in the hall, hid it in his arms, and then turned around and left.
In the summer of the sixth year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty, during the Dragon Boat Festival in May, after the pretentious diplomacy failed as expected, Duke Yan and General Wei Gongsun Xun crossed the river with Xu Huang and Zhang Jiao as the vanguard to pull out the white horse, and won a great victory!
Immediately, on the seventh day, he personally led 10,000 men to ride out of Yexia, and on the eleventh day they crossed the river to Baima.
On the 12th, Cao Cao sent reinforcements general Xia Houyuan to lead 5,000 Yanyu cavalry to Baima. He was frightened when he saw the Baima flag in the distance. Even Yan County did not dare to stay, so he retreated to Yanjin, an important place to the west of Baima, for surveillance.
Yellow River.
On May 17th, Cao Cao led 30,000 Yuzhou troops assembled earlier to Pingqiu, but both sides entered a strange period of silence.
However, as both sides continued to deploy troops and gather forces, large-scale encounters began to break out across the thousands of miles of border between the two sides.
In the sixth year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty, the sky is clear and the world is prosperous!
The poem says:
The purple air is flying in the sky but it does not seek its own plan. Who would pity the turtle and leave it in the box?
The ferocious beasts are so rampant in the Western Mountains. When will the long whales in the North Sea be harvested?
The stars are too crowded for drunken dancing, and the dragon will look back and focus on Qiu.
There is no trace of success or change, and you can see the hundred-foot-high tower in Zhangshui.

PS: I didn’t do it for a long time, but the network actually recovered on its own...
I continue to recommend books to dedicate "I'm Really Not a Crow's Mouth". I wrote the name wrong last time, which was embarrassing.
