Chapter 212: Feeding Wild Wolves (II)
The Great Song Dynasty court was calm after the Jin soldiers, and the emperor and prime minister buried his head under the sand like an ostrich, neither rectifying the defense of the Yellow River nor the city of the capital. Among the several rulers, only Li Gang was worried, Zhao Huan hated this thorn in his eye to death, and after he died in the battle of the seed master, Yao Gu was defeated, and the seed master returned from illness, he actually pushed Li Gang to lead the troops to rescue Taiyuan!
At this time, Zong Han was already full of traps around Taiyuan, and even generals like Seed Division and Yao Gu were defeated one after another, not to mention Li Gang and a scholar? Moreover, the Song court only allocated 12,000 weak horses to Li Gang's veterans, Li Gang asked the imperial court to give 1 million silver and silk to replenish military funds, and the prime minister only gave 200,000 yuan. Li Gang knew that he would die for life, but the situation forced him to do it. Cao Guangbi thanked Li Gang for his loyalty and righteousness, and was willing to go north with him to help him reorganize the army, but he was blocked by the courtiers, saying that he had a special status and should not leave the capital without permission.
These performances of the Song court made it lose the hearts of the people in the Central Plains, and even old ministers like the seed master Dao felt disheartened after the death of the seed master, not to mention those Han students who rushed to Bianliang to go to the disaster, they saw that the Song court acted so upside down, and in addition to resentment, they even more missed the Han department. Most of them set off for the east under Li Yu's persuasion, and they made many good friends in Bianliang, so when they came, they were more than 100 people, but when they left, they brought more than 300 people.
There are all kinds of people among the more than 300 people who are willing to return to the east with the Han students, most of them are students, and the purpose of their eastward journey with the Han students is either to see what the Han students depict as like, or to admire the new school of the Guanning School and have the heart to go to study, or to go to Jinmen to fight for the Han to send troops to aid the Song Dynasty, or to see that Bianliang has become a state in danger and deliberately move to avoid trouble. For students who are willing to go east, the Confucius Book Club tries its best to help, not only contributing money but also efforts, which makes the Confucius Book Club establish a good image in the minds of students.
However, there are still more than a dozen students who are unwilling to return to the east, and their reluctance to go back is not because they still have illusions about the Song Dynasty, but because they decided to continue to follow Cao Guangbi: "If the second general doesn't go back, we won't go back either!" "Most of these people have a foundation in martial arts, and they have been able to be called both civil and martial arts after these days, and around them there are dozens of Tai students who are also both civil and military, as well as hundreds of like-minded citizens.
"Alas......" Cao Guangbi sighed: "If I can get the right to train troops, I can organize an army of three or five thousand people at this moment!" ”
At this time, Cao Guangbi is not only rich, but also has people! In the last Bianliang offensive and defensive battle, he already had the information of at least thousands of citizens who were suitable for the army, and after that period of running-in, these people were also happy to be used by this Mr. Cao, who had both talent and money.
"Second general. Why don't you go back? Do you still have illusions about Song Ting? The person who asked the question was Li Yu, who once swore that he would not go back as long as there was a student left in Da Song, so he also stayed.
"Nope." Cao Guangbi said: "But I still want to see again." ”
Li Yu said: "Why? ”
Cao Guangbi said: "I can't help if I go back now." Stay here, or there may be something to do. ”
"What can be done?" Deng Su's heart sank, and seeing that there were no outsiders around, he asked, "Can it be done to the Great Song Dynasty, or can it be done to the Han Department?" ”
Cao Guangbi said: "To Huaxia." ”
Li Yu couldn't help asking, "Second General, what exactly do you want to do?" ”
Cao Guangbi said: "Now the hearts of the people in Bianliang and the hearts of the two rivers have undergone subtle changes, haven't you noticed? I thought if I continued to stay here, maybe it would be helpful to keep this subtlety going. Also, I'm wondering if it's possible for me to use this power to save my big brother. ”
Shi Kang, Deng Su, and Li Yu exclaimed together: "Save the general? ”
"Not bad." Cao Guangbi said: "If it is done on the side of the Han Department, then Zonghan Zongwang will be much more vigilant." But if you do it from this side...... Maybe it will work wonders! ”
The hearts of the three people present were all in the same heart, and Deng Su asked, "Second General, do you have a plan in mind?" ”
"Not yet." Cao Guangbi said: "I just vaguely feel that it should be useful for me to stay here." He turned to Shi Kang and said, "As for you, find a chance to go back." ”
Shi Kang was shocked and said, "How can this work?" ”
Cao Guangbi said: "Why not? Now I have a foothold in Bianliang, not to mention the people and horses that Lin Yi secretly ambushed, even the dozen or so students who stayed behind are all good players. I'm not alone with them to help me, and it's not much use for you to stay with me. But if you go to Ying Qi's side, it will be of great help to him. ”
Shi Kang said: "I'm not a general, there are more people around the seven generals who are stronger than me in martial arts and the art of war!" ”
Cao Guangbi sighed: "Sometimes, you can speak for me, with you by Ying Qi's side, he will do things much more smoothly." ”
Shi Kang suddenly realized: "I understand. ”
Li Yu said: "Since the second general has already made arrangements, we have to send a trustworthy person to communicate with the seventh general on this matter." ”
Cao Guangbi said: "Are you willing to let go of your oath?" ”
Li Yu said: "I'll come back after I go back." ”
Cao Guangbi laughed and said, "You, twist like your brother!" ”
Deng Su said: "You go this time, and take someone by the way." ”
Li Yu asked who, and Deng Su said, "Hu Yin's younger brother Hu Hong." He sent his father's letter to Beijing to find Hu Yin, and these days he lived in the Confucian Publishing House, because he heard that the style of study of Guan Ning School was very different from that of Guan, Luo, and Sichuan, and he had the heart to go to see it, and I had promised him. ”
Li Yu thought that this was not a difficult thing, so he agreed immediately. But Cao Guangbi heard the strangeness, Hu Yin's father Hu Anguo is a very important Confucian in the world, Hu Hong went to the Han Department this time, if it was out of his father's instructions, then the matter may not be so simple.
Several people were discussing, and suddenly Lin Yi broke in and said, "Second general, please keep the young plant." ”
Cao Guangbi saw that he was coming strangely, and exclaimed: "Has the disease worsened?" ”
Lin Yi sighed: "There is a section in the morning that is indeed very dangerous, and I almost can't get up in one breath. But it's much better now. After going through this line of life and death, Chong Shaobao seems to have remembered a lot of things, and it took a long time to come back after losing his mind, so let me invite you to come over. ”
Cao Guangbi said: "I'll go now." ”
Although the commander of the battle of Taiyuan and Zhongshan was named as the commander of the battle this time, in fact, the main ones who commanded the battle on the front line were the seed division and Yao Gu, and the seed master was already quite sick at this time, and the bad news from the younger brother in the seed division some time ago almost hit the old man who couldn't afford to get sick. Although his condition has shown signs of improvement in the past few days, he is very old after all, and accidents may happen at any time, so Cao Guangbi was so nervous when he heard Lin Yi say that the seed master came to invite him.
When he came to the temporary mansion of the Chong family in Beijing, a white lantern had already been hung outside the door, and Chong Wei was dressed in a filial piety outfit, and his eyes were red and Cao Guangbi was taken in. Although Cao Guangbi had already come to visit the Ling, he still gave incense to the seed master first after entering the door, and quietly asked the seed master about the situation.
Chong Wei said: "Uncle is still sober, but he is a little worried about Yan Chong and Yan Song. Alas......"
He sighed Cao Guangbi knew what it meant, the seed master was a person who came first to the country and then to the family, but at this time, when the national disaster was over, he suddenly remembered his grandson, and the meaning was not auspicious. At the moment, he comforted the seed and said a few words, and came in to see the seed master.
When the seed master saw Cao Guangbi, the expression on his face was very peaceful, neither worried about state affairs, nor for the relatives who lost his brother, Lin Yi was very surprised when he saw it: "What's wrong with the seed Shaobao?" Don't go back to the past. ”
The planter asked Cao Guangbi to help himself up on the reclining chair by the window, and then said: "I invite you over today, there is nothing important, I just want to ask about your marriage." ”
Cao Guangbi and Lin Yi couldn't help but be stunned when they heard it, they never expected that the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty military would call Cao Guangbi, the second general of the Han Department, to come at this time for this, Cao Guangbi couldn't react for a while, and said casually: "Marriage? ”
"yes." Seed Master Dao smiled slightly: "I have inquired, you are not married yet, right?" There is a saying: start a family, start a family - a manly husband, if you don't have a family, how can you start a business? You say yes, right? ”
Cao Guangbi stayed in the local area, his eyes were blank, and a shadow flashed in his heart, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.
