Chapter six hundred and seventy-two peace is precious
Jia Fu said that if he saw Kou Xun, he would kill him to avenge Guan Jun. Kou Xun, who was far away in Yangdi, also heard about this. If you want to ask whether Kou Xun is afraid, how could he not be afraid?
Even though Jia Fu was born as a scholar and later switched from literary to martial arts, Jia Fu did not have much of a scholar's atmosphere. He was impulsive, irritable, and valued brotherly loyalty. He had all the characteristics that a martial artist should have.
Jia Fu is not the kind of person who just makes a big fuss and then loses everything. Since he can say such things, he can really mean what he says.
And there is another very important point. Jia Fu cannot be said to be Liu Xiu's celebrity, but rather Liu Xiu's pet peeve.
Ever since Jia Fu was seriously injured when he was quelling the army of the Fifth Academy, and almost died, frightening Liu Xiu half to death, Liu Xiu has always put Jia Fu in front of him and protected him personally.
If it weren't for the fact that there were no generals to send, Liu Xiu would not have allowed Jia Fu to lead the army.
Kou Xun is so smart, how could he not understand this?
It stands to reason that when Zhi Jinwu and his army arrived at Yangdi, Kou Xun, as the prefect, should have gone out of the city to greet him, but Kou Xun did not show up at all. To be precise, Kou Xun did not dare to show up. Instead, he asked the county captain and the
Sheriff Shi went out of the city on his behalf to meet Jia Fu's army.
Jia Fu came to Yangdi this time to avenge Guan Jun and take Kou Xun's life.
From a distance, he saw the team waiting in front of the county government. Without saying a word, Jia Fu took off the painted pole square halberd from the winning hook of his war horse, held the reins in one hand and the halberd in the other, and ran straight to the team in front.
.
The Yinshi generals followed closely behind. Yinshi patted his horse and followed Jia Fu, then reminded him: "General, don't be impulsive, Kou Xun is the governor!"
"Even if he is the King of Heaven, I will take the head of a thief today!" Jia Fu shouted without looking back.
Yinshi and the other generals looked at each other and grinned secretly. If the general really killed Kou Xun, how would this end?
Jia Fu held a halberd and came to the front of the county team with murderous intent. Then he reined in the reins and stopped, his eyes scanning the crowd.
He looked around and saw no sign of Kou Xun. Jia Fu was so angry that he rattled the reins and said to Captain Lou Fang: "Lou Fang, where is Kou Xun? Let him get out and see me.
!”
Lou Fang, the captain of Yingchuan, was a general of the Han army. He was not very familiar with Jia Fu, but they knew each other. Lou Fang hurriedly came out of the queue, saluted Jia Fu on the horse, and said: "I'm here to pay my respects to Zhi Jinwu."
!”
"Stop being so fussy, where is Kou Xun?"
Lou Fang secretly smiled bitterly, Kou Xun? When Kou Taishou heard that you were coming, he ran faster than a rabbit. Who knows where he is now?! Lou Fang cleared his throat and said cautiously: "Report to King Zhi, next
Official… I haven’t seen the prefect again since this morning.”
Jia Fu blinked and asked, "Where are the others?"
"I do not know!"
"You don't know?" Jia Fu's eyebrows stood up. You are a great captain and the prefect, and you don't know where they are?
Jia Fu stared at Lou Fang and said, "You and I were once brothers Pao Ze. I don't want to cause any trouble to you. All you have to do is tell me where Kou Xun is now!"
Lou Fang grinned and almost cried. He wiped his sweat and said: "Return...report to Zhi Jinwu, Xianguan, Xianguan really doesn't know, Xianguan can swear to God, if Xianguan knows that the prefect
His whereabouts will be punished by heaven and earth, and he will die without a burial place..."
Before he could finish his words, Jia Fu waved his hand to interrupt him. The anger on his face calmed down a lot. He turned over and dismounted. He hung the painting pole Square Heavenly Halberd back on the winning hook and walked up to Lou Fang.
Said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know the whereabouts of Kou Xun, why do you need to swear such a poisonous oath?!"
Lou Fang swallowed his saliva and whispered: "I am afraid that I will not believe it when I hold Jin!"
Jia Fu asked, "Kou Xun disappeared early this morning?"
"Exactly!"
"He runs really fast! I want to see where he can hide and how long he can hide?!"
As he spoke, Jia Fu turned around, waved to the Yinshi generals behind him and shouted: "Lead the army into the city! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, I will dig out Kou Xun!"
After hearing this, not only Lou Fang was sweating like rain, but the other officials in the county were also wiping their sweat. But in front of Jia Fu, they did not dare to interrupt at all. Jia Fu was not only His Majesty's favorite, but also
He is a brave general who is the best in the three armies, and he led the troops on this expedition, won consecutive battles, and achieved a series of military exploits. Now he is angry, who dares to touch his bad luck?
It was Lou Fang who said with a smile on his face: "Sir, the soldiers have come from a long way. They are tired all the way. The men and horses are exhausted. The officials have prepared meals in the city. Brothers can eat with open stomachs. As much as they can eat, the officials will add more meals.
How many."
When Jia Fu heard this, the expression on his face became a little softer, he raised his hands to Lou Fang and said, "Thank you so much, Lieutenant Lou!"
"Oh, your Excellency, you really disgraced me!" Lou Fang sighed: "Xiaguan came out of the army, so naturally he knows how hard the brothers in the army are. This time, my lord led the army to pass by Yangzhai. As a
As one of the landowners, you should do more practical things for your brothers."
Jia Fu liked to hear this kind of talk.
He regarded the soldiers under his command as brothers and sisters, and took great care of them, which pleased him more than taking care of him alone. Jia Fu nodded with satisfaction, patted Lou Fang on the shoulder, raised his head and said: "Let's go to the city to talk.
!”yyls
On the way into the city, Jia Fu asked with a cold face: "Where is Guan Jun's body now?"
Lou Fang bowed and said, "He has been given a grand burial by the eunuch."
Seeing Jia Fu raising his eyebrows, Lou Fang explained: "The prefect did not want to kill General Guan, but General Guan committed an attack in public and hurt people's lives. In full view of the public, the prefect had no choice but to punish him severely..."
While speaking, seeing Jia Fu's face getting more and more ugly, Lou Fang wisely closed his mouth and said no more.
In Yangzhai City, a main street has been cleared on the county side for the use of Jia Fujun.
On the street, the county government also set up many meal stalls. In the meal stalls, there were large wooden barrels, some filled with white rice, and some filled with meat and vegetables.
Without seeing it with their own eyes, just smelling the fragrance emanating from the streets makes people swallow their saliva involuntarily.
When marching and fighting outside, the food cannot be very good. Sometimes, in order to rush for time, the food is not fully cooked and is served to start the meal.
Furthermore, most of the food in the army consists of millet and rice. There are only a handful of times when you can eat rice, and even fewer times when you can eat meat and vegetables.
Now, the food provided by Yingchuan County Government is not only rice, but also vegetables and meat. How can people not be greedy?
Jia Fu walked to the nearest meal place, looked at the food in the barrel, and turned back to Lou Fang and said, "Isn't this... the county government too expensive?"
Lou Fang said sternly: "The soldiers fought desperately against the enemy outside. After a battle, I don't know how many brothers will never leave the battlefield. What does it mean if I do this for my brothers? Isn't Yingchuan still there now?"
We are wealthy, and everything is ready for improvement, but even if everyone in the county is hungry, we must make sure that the soldiers who are fighting abroad are well fed!"
His words moved Jia Fu's face. Jia Fu held up his hands, bowed deeply, and said, "Brothers in Fu Dai's army, thank you very much Captain Lou!"
Lou Fang hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "I am ashamed to be a low-ranking official!"
Next, Jia Fu's subordinates began to receive food. After receiving the food, people sat on the street and ate. This meal was the best meal they had eaten since the expedition, and it was not limited and could be controlled.
Enough to eat.
People shook their cheeks and ate so much that they wished they could eat all the food up their throats.
Lou Fang personally accompanied Jia Fu and drank happily with him. The food provided by Lou Fang was good, which greatly increased Jia Fu's affection for him. The two of them exchanged glasses and drank more and more.
They had been eating this meal for more than an hour. Just then, a government servant ran over in a panic and said to Lou Fang: "Master Duwei, I saw the governor in the north of the city!"
"Ah?" Lou Fang was shocked.
Jia Fu, who was originally drunk, immediately perked up his ears when he heard Kou Xun's name, and he became energetic. He shook his groggy head, burped again, and asked the Yamen servant: "Kou Xun.
Where are you now? Take me to find him!" As he spoke, Jia Fu waved his hands around and shouted loudly: "Brothers, get up and follow me to catch Kou Xun!"
People can't get up! Jia Fu's subordinates, whether they are generals or soldiers, are all full of food. People are lying on the ground with their necks stretched out, and no one can stand up.
.
Seeing this, Jia Fu was angry and funny. He raised his hands and pointed at everyone, laughing and scolding: "Look at your potential!"
All the soldiers looked at Jia Fu pitifully and groaned.
It was not the fault that they ate too much, but it was also the fault that the food provided by Yingchuan County was so good and so delicious that they could not remember how long it had been since they had eaten such delicious food.
The soldiers were so exhausted that they collapsed to the ground, unable to move. Jia Fu had no intention of catching Kou Xun anymore, and he himself was very drunk.
He raised his head to the yamen servant and said with a stiff tongue: "Forget it today! When you see Kou Xun, let him wash his neck and wait for me!"
The yamen servant was so frightened that he almost knelt down and stood there shivering, not knowing what to say.
This is how Kou Xun resolved this crisis.
He killed Jia Fu's beloved general Guan Jun. Knowing that Jia Fu would definitely come to take revenge on him, he hid early and then entertained Jia Fu and his soldiers with the best meals the county government could provide.
As a result, after eating the meal, people no longer had the energy to arrest Kou Xun.
Of course, Kou Xun could not show weakness to Jia Fu and continue to stay in the county government without hiding. If Jia Fu wanted to kill him, could he still lead his army to attack Yingchuan county government?
If Jia Fu really did this, it would be tantamount to rebellion. He would not be able to bear the consequences himself, and he would not be able to explain it to His Majesty.
But in this way, not only he and Jia Fu would be harmed, but it would also likely lead to internal strife and civil strife in the Han Dynasty. The most critical reason why Kou Xun showed weakness to Jia Fu was that he put the overall situation first.
Kou Xun was a selfless and righteous man, so it made sense for Liu Xiu to value Kou Xun.
Cen Peng replaced Wu Han and served as the chief general of the Southern Expeditionary Army. Under his command were generals Jia Fu, Geng, Zhu, and Wang Liang. The Han army regrouped in Yingchuan and marched to Nanyang again to attack Deng Feng.
At the same time, Luoyang.
The Luoyang court received urgent battle reports from Chang'an and Hongnong. According to the Chang'an battle report, the Red Eyebrow Army marching towards Xiliang was blocked by Kaixiao's troops and was forced to retreat to Chang'an. Deng Yu led his troops to hold on, but they were outnumbered. Now Deng Yu has already
Lead his troops to evacuate Chang'an.
According to the Hongnong battle report, the Hongnong prefect was assassinated, and the Red Eyebrows sent troops to attack the territory in an attempt to capture Hongnong County in one fell swoop.
