Verse 311: Desire to go west
The big event has been decided, Guan Yan is in a good mood, the wedding day is scheduled for a month later, both of them are Guan Zhao's life-saving benefactors, Guan Yan should prepare a generous gift, and immediately sent Xiao Qi to collect all kinds of rare treasures in Luoyang City, and he even went to the palace with a shy face to argue with Emperor Liu of the Han Dynasty for some rare treasures.
Looking at the room full of gifts, Cai Yan was counting them one by one with a small ledger, while Guan Yan was cross-legged and drinking tea leisurely.
"Yan'er, do you think Zilong and Mi Zhen's congratulatory gifts are enough?" Guan Yan took a sip of tea with a "hiss", looked at Cai Yan with his head raised, and his tone was full of arrogance.
Cai Yan knew that Guan Yan was deliberately showing off, and said with a smile: "If the husband says enough, it is enough, and it is not in vain that General Zhao sacrificed his life to save him!" ”
"Good!" Guan Yan put down the teacup and stood up: "Yan'er also made a set of ceremonial clothes for me when preparing the wedding dress, and I have to preside over this marriage myself!" Also, the celebration is ...... all the expenses."
Halfway through the conversation, Dian Wei said outside the door: "Lord, Mr. Jia Xu asks to see!" ”
"Huh!?" Guan Yan took three steps and made two steps, opened the door, and looked at Dian Wei: "Who are you talking about?" ”
"Jia Xu! Waiting in the living room! ”
"Haha~ There are friends from afar who don't say it~~~" Guan Yan said happily while walking: "Quickly invite Mr. Wenhe to meet in the study!" ”
"Oops, Mr. Wenhe!" As soon as Jia Xu stepped into the study, Guan Yan greeted him and grabbed Jia Xu's hands: "I haven't seen you for a year, but you want to mess with me!" ”
"Wen He is also worried about the lord!" Jia Xu smiled slightly, and sat down in a comfortable mood with Guan Yan.
Guan Yan personally served Jia Xu a cup of tea and said, "What is the matter with Wen He's trip to Luoyang?" ”
Recently, Zhang Xiu killed in the northwest, and Jia Xu's sudden arrival, Guan Yan had vaguely guessed, but he still asked deliberately.
"Without him!" Jia Xu smiled casually: "Ordered by Zhang Xiu, descend to the lord's ear!" ”
Guan Yan heard the words of anticipation finally come out of Jia Xu's mouth, and couldn't help but stroking his palms and laughing: "Wenhe is incomparably intelligent, and he will not break his promise!" ”
won Chang'an, Wancheng and other places for nothing, which made Guan Yan's excited mood cover a layer of worry after a while: "That embroidery will give up the northwest territory, is it willing?" ”
Jia Xu replied: "Zhang Xiu has no great talent, with my help, Li Dao, Guo Ci and others are naturally not opponents, but if they want to win the Central Plains, I am afraid that they have more than enough heart and not enough strength; This time to persuade it to surrender to the lord, one is to be loyal to the Lord, and the other is to ensure that Zhang Xiu is worry-free for future generations. ”
Guan Yan nodded: "Wen He said so, I should have been relieved; However, I cherish Wenhe, which is ten times better than the land of the northwest! I can't bear to take the risk! Now I want to go to Chang'an in person and talk to that Zhang Ji on his knees, so as to remove the doubts in his heart, so that the northwest is peaceful! ”
Jia Xu looked at Guan Yan with flickering eyes, and there were many thoughts in his heart, the first was to thank Guan Yan for valuing and trusting himself so much, and the second was to admire Guan Yan for being so eloquent and strategic, daring to go deep into the dangerous place, and wanting to ride the northwest alone!
"The lord is high!" Jia Xu stood up and bowed to Guan Yan deeply: "If the lord deigns to go, Zhang Xiu will definitely surrender sincerely!" ”
"Well, without further ado, I'll have a good rest today, and you and I will go back to Chang'an together tomorrow!"
"Whoa!"
Guan Yan wanted to go to Chang'an alone, so it was not appropriate to make a big noise, but he just summoned his henchmen to arrange relevant matters, but as soon as he said this, he was unanimously opposed by everyone.
As a general, Chen Gong participated in the design of a sneak attack on Luoyang, he knew that Guan Yan's current identity and status were being stared at by many people, and when Guan Yan's plan was said, Chen Gong took the lead in saying: "The main body is in danger of the world, and you can't easily take risks!" Gong is willing to be an envoy and go to Chang'an! Worry about the Lord! ”
As soon as Chen Gong's remarks came out, everyone in the audience also echoed them.
Guan Yan shook his head with a smile: "At this time, the stakes are very high, unless I go in person, I can't do it!" I know the intentions of the public, and I feel it from the bottom of my heart! However, if you can pacify the northwest without spending a single soldier, you will be very fortunate for the princes and the people! ”
Chen Deng listened all the time and did not speak, but at this time, he came out and said: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while!" If it is irreversible, it is the right way to charge into battle and seize the city and occupy the territory! Now the lord is powerful, and there are many small people who covet it, so it is really unwise! Please think twice! ”
When everyone heard this, they once again padded words and persuaded Guan Yan.
Seeing this, Jia Xu on the side could only remain silent, raised his eyes to look at Guan Yan, and waited for Guan Yan's decision.
Although Jia Xu is committed to Guan Yan, he is still working on Zhang Xiu's side in name, since everyone is against it, if he speaks out, I am afraid it will be difficult to stand alone, and it will also arouse everyone's suspicion.
Guan Yan stretched out his hand and pressed down, signaling the heavy person to silence, this relied on Guan Yan's head only echoed with Fan Zhongyan's famous sentence, and said casually: "The worries of the world are worried, and the joy of the world is happy!" My will has been decided, don't persuade you! ”
Guan Yan turned his head to look at Dian Wei beside him, and then looked at everyone: "I will take Dian Wei alone on this trip, who can guard Luoyang City?" "Now Guan Yan is worried about the defense work of Luoyang, Guan Yan's soldiers and horses are divided into various places, Luoyang is the foundation, and a stable person must be selected.
"Lord, the last general is willing to be the defender of Luoyang!"
Guan Yan looked at it, it was the general Pang De, who was skilled in archery and horses, and strong in martial arts. War, then fight with their lives, but they can only be the vanguard general, if they defend the city, they may be embarrassed.
Just as Guan Yan was thinking, Huang Zhong also came out to worship and said: "Lord, the last general is willing to guard Luoyang!" ”
Huang Zhong is indeed much more stable than Pang De, and his martial arts are only high, not low, but he is not flexible, and the heavy task of defending the city is probably not suitable!
Guan Yan thought for a moment, and a figure suddenly flashed in his mind: "Where is Gao Shun?" ”
Chen Deng replied: "Independent father, Gao Shun went to the stable to raise horses again!" ”
Guan Yan slapped the table: "This Gao Shun!" I will go after him, and you will disperse. ”
With that, Guan Yan left everyone behind and went straight to the barracks stables.
After some searching, Guan Yan found Gao Shun, who was feeding the military horses forage.
"General Gao, you can make it easy for me to find it!" Guan Yan leaned against a haystack, took a few breaths, and looked at Gao Shun.
When Gao Shun saw Guan Yan coming, he was secretly surprised at first, and then saluted respectfully: "See Da Sima!" ”
Guan Yan glanced at Gao Shun a few times, and turned his gaze to other places: "Didn't General Gao already promise General Zhao to preside over the Luoyang guard?" Why are you here again? ”
Gao Shun couldn't see any mood fluctuations: "The matter was urgent, and I had to temporarily take over the position of guard!" ”
"Oh!" Guan Yan stood up, looked at Gao Shun and said, "I will leave Luoyang on important matters, you should continue to bear the responsibility of guarding the city!" ”
Without waiting for Gao Shun to react, Guan Yan turned around and left, halfway through, Guan Yan suddenly stopped, and said without looking back: "I have been on the table of the Son of Heaven, and I will ask the general to be the general of the capital, and I will go to Chen Deng to serve tomorrow!" ”
After that, Guan Yan didn't give Gao Shun any chance to speak, and left in a hurry.
