Chapter 626: Tribute (I)
- Guangzong
"Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambition is thousands of miles; The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong. Ma Qiang took Cao Cao's poems sent by the fast horse, shook his head and read them.
"Tsk, this Boss Cao didn't fight Wuhuan and was still able to write "Turtle Although Shou"... Shall I steal his eastern stone? Ma Qiang admired it with a sigh of relief, and in the late Han Dynasty these years, he barely had some ability to appreciate classical art.
Ma Qiang thought about it again and again, but still held down the idea of stealing the article.
I'm not a writer, so I don't need it.
And the poems and texts are to be combined with reality, I have never been to Jieshi Mountain, what is the scenery of Jieshi Mountain, isn't this nonsense.
"Shia, come in!
Zhao Huo: Where have they been? ”
Ma Qiang suddenly remembered Zhao Huo and the others who sent the dictionary to Chang'an, and asked Shi A, who was guarding outside.
These days, Huang Xu was dragged by Huang Zhong to go on a blind date, Huang Zhong is an only son like Huang Xu, and the marriage has not been resolved so far, which makes Huang Zhong have a great headache.
Huang Xuke is the commander of the Guards Division, the personal general of General Zhenbei, and the only son of General Huang, with strong martial arts and good looks, this resume was thrown into the marriage market, which suddenly made the major giants in Guangzong City go crazy, Ma Qiang even heard Lin Zhi say that the Zhen family is also ready to participate in this son-in-law war.
"Yesterday's telegram showed that they had arrived at Hangu Pass, and Zhang Yang was very enthusiastic about our tribute procession, and wrote a letter hoping to bring it back to the general." Shi A, as Wang Yue's eldest disciple, was the envoy of Jinyi Wei at this time, and he could be regarded as Wang Yue's deputy.
Ma Qiang is not worried about the pair of masters and apprentices controlling Jinyiwei, after all, he still has the military intelligence of Neiwuwei and Jian Yong.
There can't be just one ear and no eye.
"After entering Hangu Pass, it is not far from Chang'an, let Zhao Huo collect the relevant information inside and outside the court immediately after arriving in Chang'an, and pay special attention to the movements of Xiliang and Yuan Shao.
Also, inform them of the Wuhuan war so that they can deal with it randomly. ”
"No!"
- Chang'an
At this time, is it far from Dong Zhuo's death? How many months have passed? But the head of Chang'an City still flutters the banner of Dongzi.
It's just that on the side of the word Dong, there is also a big flag with the word ox.
Today's Chang'an? Is Dong Min and Niu Fu co-managed? One of these two is Dong Zhuo's brother, but he has always been in the court? is not trusted by the generals of Xiliang, one is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law? Although it is mostly liked by Xiliang soldiers? But the character is cowardly, but it forms a clever balance.
Between these two parties are the Han courtiers led by Liu Xie, although they don't have many soldiers and horses in their hands? But they are all wealthy families? The nobles of the family, many resourceful and wise people, just because of Wang Yun's story, have never dared to act rashly.
And such a balance, after the arrival of the tributary contingent of the Zhenbei Army? Changes are about to begin.
Leading this tributary convoy was Zheng Xuan's disciple, Gongsun Fang, a teacher of the Qingzhou Education Bureau.
After all, this tribute is a dictionary? Ma Qiang was also afraid that anyone in the court who looked at him unpleasantly would pick a thorn from the dictionary, and only the disciples of Zheng Xuan, the first person in Confucianism at that time, were sure to deal with possible difficulties.
"In this pass, Qin De became a hegemon in the past? Taizu won the world, and he didn't want to be today? but it is in tatters. "Gongsun Fang is riding a horse? Looking at the barren fields on either side? He shook his head with some emotion.
"Guanzhong has always been short of food, if it weren't for Luoyang's savings, Guanzhong would have been in chaos a long time ago." Zhao Huo, dressed as a hundred generals, rode a horse and walked beside Gongsun Fang and said.
Zhao Huo actually has a deep understanding of the situation in Guanzhong because of Li Ru's relationship, and everything is fine in Guanzhong now, but there is a shortage of food.
If Dong Niu and the others can manage it well, streamline the government, and maintain it, it is difficult now.
"Along the way, the generals in Guanzhong are not as good as before in terms of equipment and morale, and it seems that Dong Min and Niu Fu have no great talent in their hands."
"It's a big talent, but I don't want to use it for them." Zhao Huo said with a smile.
Gongsun Fang thought about it and nodded approvingly, he didn't believe that the court was all stupid, presumably there were some people who were wise enough to protect their lives and hide in the court.
"Guanzhong is so big, but they don't know how to manage it well, I think Niu Dong's soldiers and horses have not only not decreased, but have a tendency to increase, there are fewer people who farm, more people who eat grain, how long can they last?" Gongsun Fang looked around, and there was a faint judgment in his heart.
Chang'an must start chaos again!
Then this is the opportunity of the Zhenbei Army.
As long as the Zhenbei Army can take the state before Chang'an is in turmoil again, then it can take the opportunity to take Guanzhong and become the emperor's business!
As a person who has never been out of the Han family, Gongsun Fang's loyalty to Ma Qiang is far higher than his loyalty to the Han family.
"It's here! Is this Chang'an?! ”
Walking through a slope, a huge city appeared in front of everyone, some of the dilapidated city walls can still be seen in the majesty of the past, and the dilapidated gaps that can be seen everywhere indicate that the owner of the city does not have too many manpower and material resources for repairing the city.
Or rather, no one wants to stay here for the rest of their lives.
- The court
"Your Majesty arrives ~~"
Liu Xie, accompanied by several eunuchs, walked up the steps cautiously, sat on the dragon chair, and just took a breath, he saw Niu Fu and Dong Min glaring at him, and hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, Aiqing, take a seat." ”
I saw Niu Fu and Dong Min take the lead in sitting down, and Yang Biao and the others took their seats in turn.
The court of the Han Dynasty was not as fond of making people stand or kneel as much as later generations.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have something to do?" Liu Xie looked at Dong Min and Niu Fu, saying that he was asking everyone, but in fact he was asking these two people.
"Your Majesty, the rebel minister Ma Qiang sent an envoy to pay tribute, and he is outside the palace at this time, I don't know what to do?" Dong Min stroked his big belly with the same style as his brother, and looked up and asked.
Rebels? You two are the biggest rebels!
Liu Xie thought silently in his heart for a while, and then looked at Yang Biao like a helper.
Yang and Yuan's two major families, the Yuan family has been swept away in the court, but the Yang family has been wise to protect themselves and survived because of Yang Ci's instructions to Yang Biao.
Now that Wang Yun is dead, the scholars are gradually regathering under Yang Biao's banner.
Yang Biao, the bigwig of the scholar clan who has been hidden for several years, was finally pushed to the forefront.
After Yang Biao, there are also the servant Han Rong, the servant Liu Ai and others, all of whom are royalists.
"Your Majesty! I heard that Ma Ziyu has pacified the three states, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and his power has surpassed Yuan Shao and others, and he is the first prince of Kwantung.
His Majesty should reward him for his reward in order to praise his heart and lead him to pay tribute to the court, so that the court can benefit. ”
Yang Biao came out of the list and said a lot of things, but Dong Min and the others also understood.
Ma Qiang is now strong and strong, he is a real big man, and he is here to give gifts.
