Chapter 158: Gong Shafu and Kou Feng
Two thousand Wuhuan cavalry came to Guangning, which was Zhangjiakou in later generations, preparing to enter the Great Wall from here.
The Great Wall of the Eastern Han Dynasty has fallen into disrepair at this time and has many small gaps, through which small groups of people can enter and exit, but if it is a large group of soldiers and horses, they can only go through various passes.
Where did the Han army guarding here dare to let so many Wuhuan people in, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly closed their doors to prepare for battle.
Yan Rou stepped forward with a bow and arrows, shot a silk book up the city tower and said, "I am engaged in Yan Rou under the command of Youzhou Thorn Shi Ma Gong, and I am ordered by the horse envoy to summon Wu Huanyi to help in the war, so as to pacify the Yellow Turban Thief Army!" Please also inform the door opening! ”
The sergeant guarding the pass opened the silk book, and the big red seal told them that this was not a fake, so he sent food to appease Yan Rou and the others, and at the same time quickly reported to the county keeper Shafu.
The seat of Shanggu County was in Fuyang, about the junction of Huailai County and Yanqing County in later generations, and it was already the next day when the county keeper Shafu got the silk book.
Gong Shafu took the silk book and asked left and right, "Yesterday, a friend sent me a letter, saying that Changping Ma Qiang claimed to be an assassin, but he didn't expect that his subordinates had gathered thousands of soldiers and horses in Wuhuan today, so how should the official deal with this matter?" ”
For a time, there were all those who said anything, some said that they should be obeyed, and some said that they should send troops to Guangning, and Wuhuan soldiers and horses were not allowed to enter the customs.
Gong Shafu hesitated for a while, drank away from everyone, and then asked a person hidden in the corner, "I don't know what Brother Kou thinks?" ”
The man known as Brother Kou was a middle-aged scribe dressed in coarse clothes and about thirty years old.
When this man heard Gong Shafu call him, he whispered, "I am a guilty body, and I am already terrified when I stand here, how dare I speak nonsense?" ”
Gong Shafu shook his hand and said, "What a crime is there for Ling Zun, not to mention that you and I are friends with each other, although it is what he says!" ”
It turns out that this person's name is Kou Xian, is the descendant of the former Yuntai 28 generals Kou Xian, his father is Kou Rong, Kou Rong became famous as a young man, he is a clean and noble person, when Emperor Huan, Kou Rong's nephew is still a princess, and his cousin was elected to the harem, he was appointed as a servant, often in and out of the palace, but he disdained those eunuchs and servants, so he was falsely accused of returning to his hometown Shanggu County, and then wanted to go to Luoyang to write in order to defend himself, and was accused of leaving the border county without permission, and was forced to flee, several times the world amnesty did not have his share, and finally entrusted a friend to hand in the self-defense document, Emperor Huan was even more angry when he saw this, and ordered him to be killed and implicated the whole clan.
Kou Xian was still a teenager in Luoyang, and he became friends with Gong Shafu, who was also young, and Gong Shafu secretly protected him after serving as the county guard of Shanggu.
Now that the Yellow Turban has raised troops, the party has been relieved, and Gong Shafu is not afraid that others will see Kou Xian, so he let him enter the palace to discuss matters together.
Kou Xian opened his mouth and said, "Ma Qiang, this person, Xian has always heard of it, although he is rich, but he takes it in a good way, although it is absurd, but he has a great heart and the style of a master."
Now that the Yellow Turban has raised troops in Guangyang, Guo Thorn Shi and Liu Junshou have been killed, and they have gone south to Zhuo County, Ma Qiang called himself Thorn Shi in Changping at this time, wouldn't it make the moth thief jealous and burn himself? It can be seen that he is not for personal gain! It's for the sake of the state!
Since it is a state affair, how can we forget our public affairs for our own selfishness?
I've heard that even when the people hear that their neighbors have thieves, they will take up their swords and go to their aid. As he spoke, Kou Xian's eyes sharpened, he knew too well what the people who didn't support sending troops just now thought, what was the fear of the court blaming them, they were all farts, would the court blame them, what they really didn't want was to use money and food to fight for other counties.
Before the state pastoral system, the relationship between the counties in a state was not so close, especially between Shanggu County and Gwangyang County, so many people in Shanggu County had a kind of psychology of wanting to close off the county.
In fact, this kind of psychology is becoming more and more fierce in the troubled times in the future, and later Jiangdong, Yizhou, Jingzhou and other forces are not good at enterprising, there are many local scholars who have such a mentality, it is too dangerous to go out to fight, it is better to guard the home, as long as others can't come in.
Gong Shafu clapped his hands and smiled, "Gongzhiyan, it is with my heart, okay, I will mobilize people to go to Guangning." ”
- Quang Ninh
This was already the third day, and Yan Rou and Gan Shi were a little anxious, but in order not to irritate Shanggu County, they could only endure it.
"Look! It seems that the big man has arrived! Yan Rou looked at the flag that appeared at the juncture, and said with a smile.
"Let's go, let's see!" Gan Shi and Yan Rou stepped forward together, and at the juncture, Gong Shafu looked at the Wuhuan soldiers and horses not far away, and asked Kou Xian on the side, "What do you think, brother?" ”
"The army is neat, this Yan Rou has the talent of a general."
"Dare to ask, but is it the prince of Gongsha?" Yan Rou asked loudly.
"This official is exactly! But Yan Rou in person? Your lord Ma Qiang has not received the emperor's order, and he claims to be the assassin, which is like chaos, and I am about to raise an army to ask for it! How dare you come to borrow from me? ”
When Yan Rou heard this, her eyes shrank, and she wanted to order the siege of the city, but she was so frightened that Gan Shi on the side grabbed her hand.
"Camp Commander Yan, what are you going to do?"
"Ordered the siege of the city, didn't the Dao Chief hear what he just said?"
"This is the scene, look at me!" Gan Shi couldn't cry or laugh, although this Yan Rou had read some books, but after all, he grew up among the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, and he really didn't understand the rules of these scholars.
If Gong Shafu really wanted to be unfavorable to the two thousand cavalry, he should have opened the city gate, tricked them into the pass, and ambushed the troops in all directions.
He obviously wanted to switch it off, but he wanted to have an explanation.
Gan Shi stepped forward and stroked his beard and looked at Gong Shafu for a while, and then laughed.
Gong Sha Fuqi said, "Who are you, and why are you laughing?" ”
I'm afraid you won't talk!
"I am willing to begin, and what I laugh at is not others, but laugh at me for being blind.
When I was traveling in Luoyang, I heard that the five dragons of Gongsha, unparalleled in the world, I thought that there was no vanity under the fame, this time I specially asked to come here, I wanted to see the style of the five dragons of Gongsha, but I didn't expect it, it turned out to be difficult to deserve under the fame! ”
After speaking, Gan Shiyi dropped his sleeves, turned his fingers into a sword, pointed at Gong Shafu and shouted, "I have heard, Gou Lisheji, life and death, now there are moths and thieves, turbulence in the world, it is the time for the survival of the world, my lord has Guo Zhijun's last order, raise the Han flag, Xingyi Division, defeat 9,000 strong troops with 3,000 weak brigades, my lord's unmarried wife has fallen into battle several times, captured the enemy generals alive, and what you ask for is your own?" It's for the public! ”
Yan Rou was stunned on the sidelines, and Qingcheng fell into battle several times? When was this? Didn't Bai Yan roar, and Yu Poison was dragged all over the ground by the horse?
Gan Shike ignored him and continued, "Let the king be in Shanggu for a long time, when you know that Wuhuan is poor, my lord sent the two of us to see Lord Nanlou, Lord Nanlou said that Wuhuan is short of money and food, and my lord does not have an edict from the court, how can he send troops at will."
I said, before my lord raised the army, some people persuaded him that the Red Star Battalion has millions of money and grain, and the natural danger is the key, why should he raise troops for the words of the dead, in case the army is defeated, wouldn't the whole camp cry, even if it wins, the court may blame.
My lord said, "If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world, and now that the country is in trouble, how can you only care about selfish interests?" If the army is defeated in the future, I will be worthy of His Majesty's kindness to me, and if I destroy the thief in the future, the court will blame it, and I will not regret it in my heart.
When Lord Nanlou heard this, he was greatly moved, and cried bitterly, saying that Wuhuan had eaten Hanlu for two hundred years, and the service was at this time, and he checked two thousand elite soldiers overnight, and brought his own cattle and sheep for food, and handed them over to the two of us, hoping to pacify the thieves and restore peace as soon as possible, and he could also meet the Son of Heaven to show his loyalty.
Nanlou Yiwu Huan Lord still knows the righteousness, I didn't expect that your Gong Shafu is a famous man but black and white, loyalty and treachery are unknown, let's go, if you can't enter the customs and bring the reinforcements back, my lord will be defeated, Youzhou will fall into fire and water, what face do I have to see Ming Gong? Please do a good deed, kill me here, and please tell the world, Gong Shafu, it is better to know the righteousness of Wuhuan Nanlou! ”
As he spoke, Gan Shi took off his hat, dismounted, walked to the gate, took off his clothes, exposed his chest, and waited for an arrow to pierce his heart.
Gong Shafu couldn t close his mouth on it, is it necessary, just a few words, how did he become inferior to even a Wuhuan person.
"Yunci, hurry up and switch it, otherwise if you keep getting it, your reputation will be over in the future!" Kou Xian on the side pushed Gong Shafu, who was already stunned, and said in a low voice.
For the scholars, fame is greater than heaven!
"Ahh Oh... Yes, that, what Mr. Kam said is very... It's the official's negligence, just open the city gate! ”
Gong Shafu has never seen Gan Shi play like this in his life, why did he play with his life as soon as he came up, this is too unscrupulous!
