Recommended book, "The Romance of the Tang Dynasty"... a rare historical article about the period of the Anshi Rebellion... Well, I bet 50 cents that the author is a cute boy.
——————I am the dividing line——————
Autumn has fully arrived, the previous windy weather has stopped, and the military camp outside Pingcheng, Yanmen County (later near Datong) is recruiting troops.
Thanks to Gongsun Xun's action of returning the livestock after crossing the Yellow River, and the fact that once the recruitment is successful, he will immediately receive rations, there are indeed many immigrants from Wuyuan County who are originally half soldiers, half civilians, half farmers and half herders.
They came to recruit with their horses and bows on their backs. I dare not say that a cavalry team was ready immediately, but no matter how hard it was, they put on airs.
According to previous assumptions, Gongsun Xun was originally going to personally record the newly recruited soldiers, master their information, and show them kindness. However, this trip to Wuyuan touched him a lot.
In fact, in addition to all kinds of necessary physical exercises, after returning from Wuyuan, Gongsun Xun would rather put a small horse on the loess gate with a flag at the entrance of the camp most of the time, and then sit for a long time, thinking about some messy things.
I am too lazy to do such superficial things.
"Wen Qi." As the door curtain on the second floor of the earth building behind him was opened, Lu Ziheng walked out with his sleeves rolled up and a look of despair on his face, but he couldn't help but ask again about the person he had already asked countless times.
Question. "Will Mr. Liu really help?"
"Yes!" Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the horse, still answered simply.
"Mr. Liu..." Lu Fan still shook his head repeatedly. "Even if he becomes a lieutenant, he wouldn't want to get involved in such a thing, right?"
"It depends on whose business it is." Gongsun Xun looked at the crowd gathered at the entrance of the camp for recruiting soldiers, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He didn't know whether it was with pride or ridicule. "Since it is my business, I'm afraid he will
I have to mess with it."
"I know Mr. Liu values Wenqi very much." Lu Fan chatted with the other party while leaning on the wall of the earth building... In other words, the earth building was obviously built only a few months ago, but after being blown by the north wind, it looked particularly dilapidated and became more and more shabby.
It showed some of Lu Ziheng's worries. "But when it comes to his position, he has principles to be a person and an official. Not to mention Wen Qi, you are just a student. I'm afraid even his own son Liu Song won't be able to do it."
"You are mistaken." Gongsun Xun narrowed his eyes and looked at the official road in the distance and smiled. "The reason why I am so confident is precisely because I know that my teacher does not want to cause trouble..."
"What does this mean?"
"What's the point?" Gongsun Xun turned around and said with a smile. "Although my teacher is confused in doing things, he is very clear in his heart... In the end, he will finally know who is right and who is wrong in this matter.
, if he really gets into trouble, where should he stand and where should he stand? Secondly, he must know my Gongsun Wenqi's character and conduct better. He knows better than anyone else. If he doesn't follow my wishes, he will give me a push.
Then I will definitely be able to turn this matter upside down! By then, it won’t be the word ‘Zhanjia’ that I can use with ease!”
Lu Fan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say... However, Lu Ziheng finally understood Gongsun Xun's ability to cause trouble, so he finally gained a little more confidence after hearing this nonsense.
"In that case." After leaning for a moment, Lu Fan walked up behind him and asked in a low voice, "How do Wen Qi think Guild Liu can help?"
"He won't take care of the case." Gongsun Xun said with a smile. "But there is no problem in recommending talents to the country and urging the court to release Bingzhou governor as soon as possible."
Lu Fan understood immediately.
In other words, because the powers and responsibilities of the governor of a state are so heavy, most people subconsciously think that the governor is an administrative official and the superior of the prefect... This is actually a major misunderstanding.
After all, the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the administrative division was the standard county system. There was never such a thing as a state, county, or county system.
So what is a state? The answer is that it is part of the imperial supervision system.
The so-called supervision system is naturally the inspectors sent by the superiors, who are responsible for monitoring the merits and mistakes of relevant administrative personnel within a certain range, and then checking the completion of relevant work, and accepting reports or commendations on their behalf, etc.
In fact, not only the state will send "provincial governors" to supervise the work of several counties in a state, but the counties will also send "postal supervisors" to supervise the work of several counties, not to mention the Sili Xiaowei to supervise the central government and
Capital Region officials…
In short, the people in this system were typically low-ranking and powerful in the Han Dynasty. For example, the governor who could decide whether the county magistrate of Qianshi would stay or stay might just be a minor official of Baishi, while the governor who could scare the prefect of Qianshi into sleepless nights was
Six hundred stones, the starting point for imperial officials, and even the Sili Xiaowei, who was responsible for supervising the capital and the central government, were only compared to two thousand stones, which was the lowest level of two thousand stones.
However, after all, these people represent superior authority, and have great powers and responsibilities... For example, the governor now has financial and military power, as well as the original judicial investigation power and work review power. As time goes by, people no longer
Consciously, the governor of six hundred dan was regarded as high as two thousand dan, or even worse.
It is even said that there is a strange phenomenon now. It is said that if any governor performs too well, he will be quickly promoted to two thousand dan; and if any governor performs too poorly, the best way to deal with it is to
The method is none other than to quickly promote him to a position of two thousand dan.
For example, Gongsun Xun's theoretical superior, Zang Min, the Xianbei lieutenant general, is now worth two thousand shi. He was promoted because of his outstanding performance as the governor of Yangzhou!
But back to the front, after hearing what Gongsun Xun said, Lu Fan also nodded slowly, but finally felt that Liu Kuan might really be able to help... After all, if he helps in this way, no matter what
No matter what, it will not affect the image of the elders in the world of humanity.
"But Wen Qi." Lu Fan suddenly couldn't help but sigh. "I still can't understand it. Even if you do this kind of thing laboriously, it won't be of any use to us, right? I saw you with such an attitude before, and it seemed like you were really moved.
Fire, I can’t persuade you..."
"You don't need to persuade me any more." Gongsun Xun pointed at the crowd of immigrants in front of him and said calmly. "Since ancient times, and even in the future, the so-called heroes regard the low-level gangsters as nothing, and people like me are angry for them.
, no matter what I tell others, they won’t believe it...Besides, I’m not without selfish motives. In that case, it’s better to just ignore it and do everything on my own.”
Lu Fan immediately became silent.
Just as they were sitting and chatting on the camp gate building, several horses suddenly came galloping down the official road in the distance. Gongsun Xun and Lu Fan looked at each other, then suddenly looked at each other, and then hurried downstairs together.
.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Gongsun Xun picked up the horses at the gate of the camp, carrying a water bag that he took out from the camp building.
"Shaojun." The leader was Jia Chao. He was sweating profusely and got off his horse. He didn't even have time to pick up the water bag and quickly reported something. "I went to Luoyang to deliver a letter to Liu Gong. I only waited for two days."
On the same day, he told me that I could come back, saying that the imperial court had appointed a new governor of Bingzhou... I will continue to stay in Luozhong according to your instructions, and I will come back directly after Mr. Fan finds out the origin of the new governor!
However, the governor came very quickly, and we only had to wait for three more days in Luozhong before we met his honor guard in Gaodu (later Jincheng) of Shangdang County."
"Is he actually a man of great military skill and speed?" Gongsun Xun became even more impatient after hearing this, and continued to ask at the gate of the camp. "Then where is this man from? You should have heard about his place of origin, title, and experience, right?
"
"Yes! Reporting back to Shaojun, this man is a Xiliang native, but he was born in Yingchuan. He was recruited as a Langguan during the Qiang Rebellion, and then fought in Bingzhou under Zhang Huan of Sanming in Liangzhou.
He served as a Sima in other departments, and then accumulated merits and was transferred to the Guangwu County Magistrate of Yanmen County, the Northern Captain of Shu County, and the Wuji Colonel of the Western Regions. It is said that he has touched the threshold of two thousand stones, and then because of his handling
During the Western Region Incident, he killed too many people and was dismissed from his post... Years ago, he was just recruited by Situ Yuan Wei to serve as a soldier under Cao Rong, and this time it was Yuan Wei who recommended him to the post."
Gongsun Xun looked astonished, but he couldn't help but sneer: "So he is a disciple of the Yuan family. Has the Yuan family also started recruiting people from the border counties? What's his name?"
Jia Chao was just about to pick up the water bag when he heard this and quickly reported his name: "My surname is Dong, my name is Zhuo, my given name is Zhongying!"
Gongsun Xun's expression changed immediately, and the water bag in his hand fell directly to the ground, and the water in the bag splashed all over the ground.
"Young Master!"
"Wenqi?"
Everyone on the side was shocked, and Jia Chao even bowed down to apologize.
"It doesn't matter." Gongsun Xun came back to his senses, lowered his head and picked up the water bag again with a smile. "I made a mistake, the water is already cold. You can go to the camp and drink hot soup..."
"Here." Jia Chao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly lowered his head and agreed.
"Hold on!" However, before he could take two steps, Gongsun Xun suddenly stopped him again. "You said that this person is extremely fast. If we follow his marching speed, after entering Bingzhou, he will not interfere with official affairs or stop at Shangdang.
, then where should we be at this time?”
"Back to Mr. Shaojun, there are two routes from Shangdang to Taiyuan, the east and west. According to my estimation, if you take the west route, you will have reached Qixian County, and if you take the east route, you will have to reach Yangyi..."
"Anyway, we must have arrived in Taiyuan County at this time?"
"If we don't stop at Shangdang, this will be the case!"
Gongsun Xun nodded slowly and finally let the other party leave.
"Wen Qi," Lu Fan immediately became anxious as soon as the knights who had traveled a long distance left. "The person who came is a disciple of the Yuan family, not a disciple of Liu Gong. I wonder what you can say?"
"Maybe!" Gongsun Xun laughed and shook his head. "But no matter what you say, it doesn't matter, because Dong Zhongying himself is not a good person! In my opinion, he is so fast, I am afraid that he came here just for this matter...
...And if we look at it from this perspective, Zhang Qi is most likely going to go home and become his Qinghe celebrity!"
Lu Fan became more and more confused when he heard this: "Is it possible that Wen Qi is familiar with the new Uncle Fang?"
"We have been friends with each other for a long time."
"Does this mean you don't recognize me?" Lu Fan was speechless. "In that case, where did you get such a judgment?"
"Let's go!" After saying that, Gongsun Xun said no more, but suddenly threw the water bag he had just picked up into the opponent's arms, then turned back and strode back to the camp with the knife in his hand.
"Where to go?" Lu Ziheng reluctantly followed behind holding the water bag and asked.
"Zi Heng is not good at horsemanship. There is no need to go this time. Just stay in the camp and take care of the general affairs." Gongsun Xun replied without looking back. "I will take two or three guards with me and ride lightly to Taiyuan to welcome the new Fang Bo!"
"The garrison commander is not allowed to leave the county without the approval of two thousand stones!" Lu Fan became more and more anxious.
"My army is still recruiting at the door!" Gongsun Xun sneered from a distance. "Where did the garrison come from? Besides, Dong Zhongying values me so much, how could I, Gongsun Xun, not go out to meet him from afar?"
Lu Fan was stunned on the spot.
"At the end of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, the son of a good family in six counties was appointed as Yulin Lang. (Dong) Zhuo was talented and powerful, with a small brigade. He carried two spears and shot from left to right. He was an Army Sima. He served Zhang Huan, the general of Zhonglang, in conquering the state, and he paid homage to Langzhong.
, was given nine thousand pieces of silk, and Zhuo Xi distributed them among the officials. He was moved to Guangwu, and made the captain of the northern part of Shu County and the captain of Wuji School in the Western Regions. He was exempted. At the end of Xiping Dynasty, he worshiped the governor of Bingzhou and patrolled the nine counties."
