When Guan Tong found Xinbi, the envoy sent by Yuan Shao was enjoying a meal in the backyard of his house. Steamed fish, seaweed and tofu soup, wheat rice, and stewed vegetables have a distinct Donglai character. Simbi seemed pleased with the dish. No, as soon as he saw Guan Tong coming, he picked up the lacquer bowl in his hand and greeted him, "Guan Juncheng has had a meal?" The soup in your house is not. ”

However, it is clear that Guan Tong is not here to accompany Simbi to dinner. After waving his hand and sending away the servant girl who was waiting on the side, he hurried to Xin Bi in three steps and two steps, and said anxiously, "Special Envoy Xin has just eaten." It's been three poles on this day, if we don't go to Taishou Mansion sooner. I'm afraid I'm going to pounce again."

Xin Bi did not show any anxious feelings because of Guan Tong's words. On the contrary, he first took a sip of soup by himself, and then unhurriedly persuaded Guan Tong, "Guan Juncheng should not be anxious. On weekdays, when we go to Taishou Mansion, Cai Yuanjun is not there eight or nine times out of ten. But today, when we go to Taishou Mansion, Cai Yuanjun will be free to see the two of us. ”

"What does Special Envoy Xin mean that Cai Anzhen has already made a decision on the lord's order?" Guan Tong frowned and sat down on the straw mat beside Simbi.

"It's been three days. If Cai Anzhen's staff doesn't have a final case, then Guo Fengxiao and the others can go back to their hometown to pick up the child. Simbi teasingly put down the lacquered bowl in his hand.

"But wouldn't that be a disservice to us? Ahem, I knew this was the case, on the first night of Cai Anzhen's return to Huang County, we should have talked to her," Guan Tong said with his head lowered and annoyed.

Then people have to be willing to see you. Xin Bi secretly slandered the chatter that Guan Tong had no achievements in his heart, and then wiped his mouth with a hand towel and said, "Guan Juncheng, now Yuan Shu has been proclaimed emperor in Yangzhou, and the Central Plains is in an eventful autumn, even if we wait, Cai Anzhen will not give a promise lightly." There are some things that can't be rushed. ”

"But Cai Anzhen's status today is all due to the Lord. Could it be that she really plans to send troops to help Cao Cao, ignoring the orders of the lord," Guan Tong raised his head and said angrily.

This poor fellow is as dead as all the people in the world are like him. Send troops to help Cao Cao? Send troops to help the Son of Heaven? It should be the opportunity to expand the territory. That's it, there are many people in Yecheng who think that the world can only revolve around Yuan Shao, there is no more than him, and there is no less than him. As long as this guy doesn't miss my errand, it's done. Thinking of this, Xin Bi immediately said to the management commander, "Yuan Shu conspired against the emperor, and all the Han ministers in the world need to be punished." Even the lord who is far away in Youzhou has also issued a message, how can Cai Anzhen not echo the order of the Son of Heaven when he is in Qingzhou. Guan Juncheng has some things to say in private, but don't say it to affect the reputation of the lord. ”

Guan Tong was quickly silenced by Xin Bi's reminder. Indeed, although everyone knows that Yuan Shao does not take the court seriously in his heart, on the bright side, Yuan Shao still respects the Han family. Otherwise, after learning that the imperial court had moved to Xudu, Yuan Shao would not have written an emotional letter of accusation to the Son of Heaven. So, as Simbi said, there are some things that really can't be said casually. However, Yuan Shao's so-called respect for the Han is limited to this. Although Liu Xie had appointed Yuan Shao as a general, and handed over the military affairs of Hebei, Qing, You, and the four prefectures to his command. But so far, Yuan Shao still took care of himself and led troops to besiege Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, ignoring Xu Du's pleas for help. And Yuan Shao's move will inevitably make the lower generals have ideas, and Guan Tong is one of them.

In the view of the ruler, the reason why the lord turned a blind eye to the war in the Central Plains, and did not even take the opportunity to go south to take away the Han Emperor from Cao Cao, was mostly because he wanted to see Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu lose both. It is best if Yuan Shu can break through Xu Du and kill the little emperor to destroy the Han family, so that the lord can take the opportunity to claim the emperor and stand on his own, without becoming the target of the public. And once the lord decides on Youzhou, there will be no worries, and then he will go south to crusade against Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and others, and it will not be a matter of blowing up and decaying. Therefore, Guan Tongzhi thought that as Yuan Shao's general, he should regard the Battle of Youzhou as more important than the Battle of the Central Plains. Donglai should have sent troops to help the lord to capture Youzhou, instead of sending troops to help Cao Cao pacify the Yuan Shu rebellion. As for the idea of loyalty to the Han family, Guan Tong abandoned it a long time ago. Because in his mind, there is a higher level of righteousness -- that is, the unification of the world, and only when the world is unified can the people live and work in peace and contentment. And the only one who can achieve unification is the original public

With this belief, the management saw Yuan Shao's opponent as an obstacle to reunification. Cai Ji, who has been wandering between Zunhan and Zhongyuan, was naturally drawn to the side of the obstacle by him. Therefore, after being silent for a long time, Guan Tong immediately stepped forward and whispered to Xin Bi in a low voice, "Special Envoy Xin, as far as I know, there are still many local famous families under Cai Anzhen's rule who are dissatisfied with him. ”

"Oh? But according to the observation in Huang County, it seems that the gentry of Donglai do not have a good image of Cai Anzhen. Thou sayest, who is the one who is disgruntled against it? Simbi asked, raising an eyebrow. Xin Bi was not surprised that Cai Anzhen would have opponents. Where there is power, there will inevitably be strife. Just as Yuan Shao himself has many enemies in Jizhou, where he first started, let alone Mergezhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou. So it's not a question of whether there are opponents or not, it's the strength of the opponents that matters.

Seeing that Xin Bi, who had always been "cynical", was interested in this news, Guan Tong said the name of the collaborator, "It's the Gongsha family of Beihai." ”

After hearing this, Xin Bi thought about it, and then asked Guan Tong for proof, "Beihai? Is it the one in Jiaodong? ”

"It's the Jiaodong Gongsha family. When Wang Xiu was under Kong Rong's command, he led his troops to attack Gongsha Fort and killed the patriarch Gongshalu. Now Wang Xiu, with the support of Cai Anzhen, seems to have become half of the Beihai Taishou, and he is even more harsh to local famous families such as the Gongsha family. Therefore, the Gongsha family sent people to find the unification on behalf of the famous Beihai family, hoping to bring the seven counties of Beihai under the great jurisdiction. The ruler said to Simbishu with great interest.

Seven counties in Beihai? Can he represent the seven counties of Beihai? Simbi apparently scoffed at the exaggerations of the Governor. It must be known that since he can tell the location of the Gongsha family in one word, he naturally knows some about this family. In fact, the Gongsha family is not a famous family at all, but a local clan with a camp and trenches. It can be seen from the fact that Wang Xiuneng only led a few cavalry to rush into the public sand castle to kill people, and it can be seen that this kind of local tyrant bullying and bullying farmers is still successful, and he is completely vulnerable in front of the government with an army. Rather than expecting this kind of goods to make big waves, it is better to temporarily keep it as a "dark pile" in case you need it in the future. Therefore, after listening to the introduction of the management system, Xin Bi once again said in an official tone, "The queen will mention this matter with the other driver." However, Donglai and the seven counties of Beihai are still nominally subordinate to Qingzhou. Cai Anzhen has also always been respectful to the lord. So don't let these wealthy families cause trouble unless you have to. ”

Guan Tong'er heard that Xin Bi didn't mean to use the Gongsha family to make a fuss, so he couldn't help but collapse his face and said, "What does the envoy of Yi Xin mean, is it just to let Cai Anzhen go south to help Cao Cao?" ”

In the face of the attitude of the management of the three and four endless, Xin Bi was also a little impatient. Yes, the last time Yuan Tan provoked Cai Anzhen, Guo Tu almost made a heel. And now the person who assists Yuan Da as a driver in Qingzhou is his brother Xin Ping. Xin Bi didn't want to make trouble for his eldest brother because of his reckless behavior. What's more, Xin Bi has never been optimistic about Yuan Shao. The reason why he came out under Yuan Shao was because of the result of his eldest brother's forced pull; Second, since the Xin family is under Yuan Shao's control, there is no way to do things for him. Therefore, between seeking profit for Yuan Shao and self-preservation, Xin Bi would not hesitate to choose self-preservation. Therefore, Xin Bi coughed and pretended to warn to Guan Tong solemnly, "Guan Juncheng, there is a little bit of Bi to remind you. The lord is indeed tired of Cao Cao, but in comparison, the lord hates Yuan Shu even more. Therefore the mind of the lord is beyond our ability to speculate. And all we can do now is to follow the orders of the Lord. ”

Seeing that Xin Bi moved out of Yuan Shao to suppress him, Guan Tong naturally didn't say anything more. However, in his heart, the ruler seems to have regarded Xin Bi as a courtier, a courtier who only seeks self-preservation and does not seek progress. Since you don't dare to take responsibility, it is up to Guan to arrange this matter by himself. So after making up his mind in his heart, Guan Tong no longer talked nonsense with Xin Biduo, but turned his tone around and asked, "Can Special Envoy Xin set off without skipping words?"

"Of course." Simbi adjusted his mentality and gave a formulaic smile to the manager.

When Xin Bi and Guan Tong arrived at Taishou Mansion in an ox cart, it was already noon. It stands to reason that this should be the busiest time for the government, but just as Xin Bi predicted, Cai Ji received the two of them very happily. Not only that, but also Cai Ji's chief military adviser Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao were also met.

But seeing that the four of them were in Cai Ji's study, after each guest and host were seated, Xin Bi took the lead in saluting Cai Ji and said, "Yingchuan people Xin Bi, Xin George has seen Cai Yuanjun." ”

is another military advisor from Yingchuan. In later generations, there was a saying of "Master Shaoxing", and I don't know if the Eastern Han Dynasty could have a special title of "Yingchuan Military Division". Cai Ji looked at the young envoy in front of him, who was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and sighed in his heart. However, except for the account in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" about the Xin family being tried and slaughtered. The most brilliant thing about Xin Bi in history is that he has a daughter Xin Xianying who does not let her eyebrows go. Speaking of which, the talented woman who was evaluated by Jin Shu as "smart and talented" should be seven years old. I really can't see that the handsome young man in front of me is already a father. Of course, Bong-hyo sitting next to him doesn't look like a father at first glance. However, gossip is gossip, and according to the history books, Xin Bi has always been not optimistic about Yuan Shao. But I don't know how he is going to be a lobbyist for Yuan Shao today.

Thinking of this, Cai Ji immediately raised his hand politely and responded, "George doesn't have to be polite. Speaking of which, the province has traveled far away for several months, so I have been waiting for a long time. ”

"Be polite. The envoy was ordered by the Son of Heaven to enter the capital to face the saint, so even if he waited a few more months, what did it matter. But I don't know what the current situation is in Beijing? Simbi asked Cai Ji in a humble and concerned tone.

Interesting, I haven't mentioned the matter of the saint yet, but the other party asked about Xu Du's situation first. I don't know that this Xin George gourd sells medicine. After Cai Ji secretly slandered Xin Bi's purpose, he followed the other party's words, sighed and said, "Don't hide it from George, when the mansion left Xu Capital, His Majesty repeatedly instructed the mansion to send troops to attack Yuan Shu. At this time, Ben Chu Gong also ordered Ji to send troops, and Donglai's troops were limited, so Ji was really in a dilemma now. ”

Xin Bi, who had long expected that Cai Ji would complain, did not stop because of this, but flicked his long sleeves and said eloquently, "Cai Envoy Jun Mingjian, Ben Chu Gong did not intend to stop Donglai's expedition to Yuan Shu. It's just that the war in Youzhou is tense at the moment, and Ben Chu Gong has just been appointed by His Majesty as a general to take charge of the four northern states. ”

Cai Ji saw that Xin Bi had a private fight between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and that the concept of secretly changing the concept had become a task assigned by the imperial court, and he couldn't help but secretly exclaim in his heart. Fortunately, she had discussed with Guo Jia and others in advance, so Cai Ji at this time did not dwell more on the "justice" issue of the Battle of Youzhou by Xin Bi, but said with a smile on his face, "George is reasonable. However, there are priorities, and now Yuan Shu has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to invade Yuzhou and directly approach the capital of Beijing. Ji is a Hanchen, and he should give priority to saving the driver. Of course, Ji and Donglai's soldiers and civilians will not sit idly by and watch Ben Chugong fight alone in Youzhou. ”

Cai Ji glanced at Guo Jia beside him, and Guo Jia immediately handed over a book manuscript to Xin Bi and said, "This is the name of the Donglai army's northward trip to Youzhou this time, please take a look at it." ”

Xin Bi took the paper scroll with Donglai characteristics, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, then leaned in and asked, "Oh? By sea? ”

"Yes. Taking the sea route from Donglai to Youzhou is not only a short journey, but also can reduce the loss of military rations. Guo Jiazhen replied.

In this way, the Donglai army has to build a water village in Yishuikou. It's not something that can be done in a day or two. It's better to go directly by road. Simbi shook his head like a rattle.

Of course, Cai Ji would not be willing to take the land route, not to mention that the journey through Qingdao and Hebei to Yijing was too far, and the military rations consumed on the way alone were enough to make her heart ache. What's more, if you take the land route, you think that you will hand over the back of the Donglai army to Yuan Shao's men, and you don't see that the risk of taking the sea route is small. So at this moment, Cai Ji didn't wait for Guo Jia to answer, and directly interjected and replied, "George doesn't need to worry. It was very fast to build a water village, and it only took three months to build a big port like Longkou Port outside Huangxian County. Compared with the year-long siege war, Ben Chu Gong should be able to wait for ten days and half a month longer, right? No Fiction Network Lots of Words"

But Xin Bi did not give up, but saw him pointing to the scroll and arguing, "If this is the case, in addition to the rations needed to build the water village, the food and grass provided by the king will not be enough." ”

Hearing Xin Bi say this, Cai Ji already knew that the other party was, and he knew that he couldn't get soldiers, so he planned to ask for more food. So after exchanging glances with Guo Jia, Cai Ji immediately spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "George, this mansion is about to go south to rescue the driver, and Donglai is now short of military rations." ”

"The envoy laughed. This year, the counties have another bumper harvest, and the millet is almost full of the granary of Longkou. Xin Bi smiled slyly as he said this, "What's more, the envoy also enjoys the patent of salt and iron. What's the point of worrying about a little military rations? ”
