Chapter Twenty-Nine: Is the Purple Qi and Yellow Flag Accidental? (Above)

Jiang Gan caught up with Gongsun Xun's honor guard in Luoyang, and this Yan Gong didn't seem to be in a very good mood at that time, at this point, Jiang Ziyi, as a white horse servant, naturally learned the specific reason from his colleagues as soon as he returned to the team.

Two things.

One is that after Yan Gong had just arrived outside the ruined capital of Luoyang, a Buddhist monk named Zhu Rui of White Horse Temple asked for an audience.

Because it is an old man who has not been seen for decades, Yan Gong was overjoyed, but the other party originally came with a different mind, and asked Yan Gong to recognize Buddhism, Yan Gong, who has always been particularly cautious about religious affairs, naturally did not allow it, but he was unexpectedly caught by the other party with an angry word, but instead took advantage of the situation to shave in front of the camp, and became the first Han monk in the world to abandon his hair and receive ordination, which was for Zhu Bajie, and although Yan Gong was erect, he did not stop it.

Jiang Gan just thought about this matter and woke up:

It has been 130 years since Buddhism was introduced to Han soil, and it already has a deep and broad folk foundation; On the other hand, after the corruption and self-destruction of the Han dynasty itself, the dominance of the classics has long been crumbling, and more and more people have begun to doubt the supreme authority of the classics, that is, the scientific examination of Yexia University, although the Ming classics are the most important, but they are only one of them.

Therefore, since the rule of scripture is gradually collapsing, it is natural for Buddhism to prosper, Yan Gong must know that it is simple to stop a Zhu Rui, but when he is gone, his son will definitely not be able to stop Zhu Rui's son and grandson, and sooner or later a Han monk will appear, so he is angry and unexpectedly did not stop it.

Another thing that also has nothing to hide, is that Yan Gong ordered the whole army to stay in Luoyang for three days, specifically let the whole army search the north and south palaces that have long been overgrown with barren grass and vines, it is said that at that time, Yan Gong directly ordered to pay attention to the palace well, collapsed passages, abandoned narrow rooms and other places, collect the skeletons and concentrate on incineration, and carefully inspect the whereabouts of the jade seal.

However, the result is disappointing, although the north and south palaces are large, but the wells, the road these places are counted, the sergeants easily rummaged through, the treasure did find a lot, and even found a room of well-preserved dry paper official documents in a collapsed room in Dongguan, which also has the handwriting of Yan Gong's mentor Lu Gong, Liu Gong, and Yan Gong's outer Yue Cao Jie, which is really amazing...... However, the jade seal of the country is not seen.

These two things are in front of him, and Gongsun Xun may be strange if he is in a good mood.

"So Ziyi saw a panda? Is that the white scum? "In the military camp outside Luoyang City, Gongsun Xun, who officially summoned Jiang Gan, heard a big difference." Isn't it like a white bear with black ears and black eyes, black shoulders, and black trouser legs? ”

Jiang Gan was slightly stunned, but immediately nodded: "That's true, but how does His Highness know?" ”

"When I was a child, my mother told me that there were such strange beasts in Shudi." Gongsun Xun didn't care. "I thought it was my mother who coaxed me, how can there be such a white coax in the world?"

"The Queen Mother learns from the north and the south." Jiang Gan could only sigh like this. "Although I heard about it in Shu before I saw it, I still only thought it was a legend of the mountains."

"If it is according to what my mother said," Gongsun Xun shook his head again and again, but he couldn't help laughing. "That panda is omnivorous, but bamboo is the staple food, at that time to eat your rabbit legs, I am afraid it was just a daily lack of salt, not in the name of some divine beast to be worshiped by you to do a witness......

Jiang Gan shook his head repeatedly.

"Things in Shu are doing well." Gongsun Xun continued. "I really didn't expect you to live up to your mission, really brought Zhang Lu's mother back, with this matter, you can transfer Zhang Lu out of Hanzhong and change to a proper person, the big war is about to start, Hanzhong County, and the east of Han, even if it is suspended, it can force Liu Biao to have more soldiers and horses in the Nanyang area...... As for Liu Dan, it is insignificant, and he is; Only Liu Zhang, although he has no talent, is sincere and forgiving, and he has been with him for many years, but now he has accumulated a lot of money, but he is reluctant to give up. ”

Jiang Gan naturally just nodded: "I only said that he was the second brother, and Liu Dan was also the second brother." ”

Gongsun Xun slowly bowed his head, and asked again: "This matter is your great achievement, but you still don't seem to be satisfied?" On the way, I saw you writing and asking to go south. ”

"Back to Your Highness!" Jiang Gan immediately leaned over and raised his voice. "The minister is a native of Huainan, Jiujiang and Lujiang, except for a Zhou Tai, such as Lu Zijing, Zhou Gongjin, Liu Ziyang, and even Chen Wu, Li Tong and other generations, the ministers can be connected...... I wish to go south for His Highness to know the truth and truth, and try my best to buy one or two of them. ”

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "These people are elegant and elegant, they may not be able to be moved by words, Ziyi can't help but take it for granted...... However, it is always necessary to inquire about the truth and reality, and Ziyi's parents are both in Huainan, so it is also a good thing to take the opportunity to bring people back, your old classmate Zhou Yu is on the front line of Xuzhou in the east, and it is just right to pass through him. ”

Jiang Gan hurriedly leaned over again, but he couldn't help but be slightly embarrassed and grateful.

"So be it." Gongsun Xun, who has had a lot of things recently, can't be called in a bad mood, but he can't help but be a little tired, and after chatting casually with the other party, he is ready to end the summons. "But anything else to say?"

"There are two more things to say to Your Highness!" Jiang Gan was about to step down, but because Gongsun Xun took the initiative to suggest that he move back to his parents, he couldn't help but feel grateful, so he was ready to say a few more words from the bottom of his heart.

"Tell me."

"First, Liu Yan's father and son have a very deep relationship, but there is no discord, the minister's original intention is quite divisive, and the result is ridiculous, and although Shu is only a corner of the world, it is better than the difficult road, and some places are really a husband and a man...... If Liu Yan's old plan is calculated, Liu Fan's sharp spirit is compelling, and father and son join forces, then Shu may not be able to become a problem in the future, and His Royal Highness must be cautious. ”

"I've never underestimated Shudi." When Gongsun Xun heard this, he appreciated Jiang Gan a little more. "There is naturally one of the three parts of the world, as long as someone in other places can stop me and form a confrontation, then Shu will naturally become a full game! Ziyi rest assured, the affairs of Shu are a few points heavier than Jing Xiang in my heart. ”

Jiang Gan was immediately relieved.

"What else?"

"Two." Jiang Gan continued to be right. "Since Your Highness is called a public system, you should establish etiquette, and it is the right way to call the lonely and widowed, why do you still call it 'me'? I hope that His Highness will be cautious. ”

"Gaozu has been proclaimed emperor, and he returned to Pei County to sing the song of the wind with others, this kind of thing is good from the heart." Gongsun Xun laughed. "If Lone Zhen is putting on a shelf all day long, you will also feel alienated and afraid when you hear it......" At this point, Gongsun Xun paused slightly, but said with a different face. The mandate of heaven and prestige are not supported by any name or object, for example, Lone today and the Central Plains are gradually becoming confrontations, the other side relies on the merits of the three princes An Central Plains and the 400-year legacy of the Han Dynasty, and the lone is the three-year rule of Hebei. On the other hand, if the lonely has the merit of Anhebei, he can naturally be called a lonely widow, and his generation has the power of An Zhongyuan, so he can naturally work together when facing Lonely...... The people of the world are not blind, and who does not understand? ”

Jiang Gan bowed his head again.

"If you don't have anything to say, I have one more thing to ask Ziyi." Gongsun Xun said, but picked up a half-foot square wooden box from several cases and motioned for Jiang Gan to come forward and take it away. "This is a gift, a gift for Cao Mengde...... You go slowly, in May and June, when you hear that there is a war on the front line, you will go to Chen Jun or Liang Guo and give this thing to Cao Mengde for me. ”

Jiang Gan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up.

"If you are bored on the journey, you can take it apart and take a look, it is a big road goods, and it is also beneficial to your trip." Gongsun Xun said so, but signaled the other party to go down.

Jiang Ziyi immediately withdrew from the military tent.

The next day, this former Jiujiang prodigy, today's powerful person under the Yan Gong account, instructed his friends Shi Tao, Meng Jian and others, saying that the latter would help his wife Wang Yi settle down in Yexia, and then hurriedly took a few white horse guards south without mentioning it. On the other hand, Sun Xun, the Duke of Yan, also gave up his intention to search for the jade seal of the country, and then immediately set off, crossing the river from Mengjin and arriving at Yexia through Hanoi.

Soon, the sergeant was disbanded on leave, and Gongsun Xun entered his own 'palace', that is, the mansion that had reached the standard as early as when Zhao Zhong built it, and met the seven ministers of his Yan State - this time, with the escape of the Son of Heaven, the political task of Chang'an was suddenly clear, and after six years, Wang Xiu officially returned to Yexia with Gongsun Xun, accompanied by Jia Xu, and Xi Zhong also returned with the army, only Zhong Xuan continued to stay as the state pastor.

Therefore, with Xun You, who was already staying, and Dong Zhao, who was already in Yecheng, it was rare for the important ministers of Yan State to gather together.

"At present, I will not congratulate you Xiangguo, the two military advisors of the province and Dong Zhoumu are sad, which leads to another group fight in the university." Gongsun Xun came to the slightly modified lobby and sat on the seat of the so-called lord of Yan Kingdom, but he felt a little panicked, and it took a while to get used to it. "Let's get to the point......"

It's okay for others, who are Jia Xu, Xun You and Dong Zhao, who are the last three of the ten ministers in the hall at this time? How do accountants care more about what position? Even if Dong Fatzi has a little thought, he will definitely not show it. After everyone laughed and laughed, they quickly entered the topic according to Gongsun Xun's instructions.

"Ye Xia has always raised 20,000 elite cavalry, complete armor, proper training, belonging to the generals, this time after General Zhao Zilong led Yang Sima to move to Hanzhong, there are still 17,000 people, 10,000 foot soldiers, 7,000 cavalry, ready to fight at any time!" Han Dang reported first.

Gongsun Xun bowed slightly, and looked at Lu Fan again.

"Report back to Your Highness." Lu Fan came out of the list to be right. "The current situation is chaotic, our army's military system is complicated, according to the previous discussion, when the local selection of soldiers and horses under the elite of Ye as the main force, and Qingzhou, Sizhou Guan and Cheng two generals directly to the front line, has always been an exception, General Xu Rong's five thousand Guanxi soldiers have always monitored Chang'an, deterring Xiliang ......"

"Regardless of Qingzhou or Sizhou, Xu Rong's 5,000 soldiers have also merged the Huben Army and the generals of Liangzhou, totaling 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers...... You just say Hebei. ”

"Whoa!" When Lu Fan heard this, he immediately bowed his head and said yes. "The other six states of Hebei, Shaanzhou is poor, and Yinshan has not been quiet, according to His Royal Highness's orders, there has been no dispatch of too many ......"

Gongsun Xun frowned slightly: "After Tanshi Huai, Xianbei is chaotic and not declining, from Liaodong to the Western Regions, stretching for thousands of miles, and Kebi can be defeated again and again, the war and uncertain, can be called a hero, in fact, the year before last in order to control Yinshan has been collided with Kebi for the second time, but it can still only be defeated and not destroyed...... Look, sooner or later, you'll have to go north to settle accounts with him! You continue! ”

"And Pingzhou!" Lu Fan continued to lean over. "The right general of Pingzhou has not responded at all, and even until now there is no intention of mobilizing troops."

As soon as these words came out, the ten important ministers in the hall all looked a little weird, but people like Jia Xu and Xun You were not good at pretending to be indifferent...... This is too sensitive, but it is extremely important, and it has a wide range of implications.

"Let Ziyi go back." Sure enough, Gongsun Xun's face was embarrassed, but he had a plan. "The stakes are high, and I can't sit idly by and watch my father-in-law make a fool! He just wants to be a loyal minister of the Han family, but he doesn't want to think that under such a big situation, if he doesn't send troops, I will leave soldiers and horses to guard Lu Longsai and Bohai ......"

"What will General Taishi do when he returns to Liaodong?" Lu Fan could only remind him stubbornly. "If you have persecuted too much at this time......

"Let Ziyi recruit troops in Liaodong in my name!" Gongsun Xun replied weakly. "The timing is sensitive, and I didn't expect to be able to move him at this moment...... It's just that I want to use this method of covering my ears and stealing bells to hollow out Liaodong's troops as much as possible to ensure that Liaodong doesn't have an accident. ”

"That's a good idea." Lu Fan thought about it for a while, but he had nothing to say about this measure, but he couldn't help but bring up another topic. "But if you can have a son early...... Zhao Gong may not be unable to soften. ”

"The more he is like this, the more I can't be in a hurry to set up a son." Gongsun Xun sighed. "Otherwise, wouldn't it be confirmed that the rumors that you want to use your son as bait? My original intention was that because Ah Ding's position was unshakable, I took the opportunity to establish a new system of secret storage, where did I think there would be so many rumors...... This matter will be discussed after the war! At this time, just set aside enough food, grass, ordnance, and military funds to make it easier for Ziyi to recruit troops. ”

"Whoa!" Lu Fan got a letter of approval, but he didn't care.

"Go on......"

"There is no problem with the rest of the Youji camp and the former Yanzhou trusteeship in several counties of Jizhou, as well as the vassals of the north, Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Zahu......

"Just say the total!" Because of the affairs in Pingzhou, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but be a little irritable.

"If you go out with all your might, regardless of Ping or Shaanxi, this time our army can be mobilized in Hebei and gather 160,000 people to ride under Ye!" Lu Fan leaned over and said a number that made the hall solemn.

"How many are soldiers with combat experience and priority equipment, and how many are auxiliary soldiers who are new to the battlefield?" Gongsun Xun continued to ask. "How many of them are infantry and how many are cavalry?"

"100,000 soldiers, 60,000 auxiliaries! Among them, there were 40,000 cavalry and 60,000 infantry! Among the auxiliaries, there are 30,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry! ”

"People's husband, grain and grass, ordnance ......" Gongsun Xun has long been aware of some things, but he still has to make another determination.

"The ministers are ordered by Ye, so they can naturally keep the logistics safe...... Based on the circulation and transportation of the people to the big river, it is to count the 20,000 troops recruited in Liaodong, as long as there is no famine or plague, there will be no mistakes within two years! Lu Fan was proud.

"Good!" Gongsun Xun held his waist on the seat, breaking his blade and his head heavy. "But we have to add the 10,000 standing sailors reported by Qingzhou, 15,000 standing cavalry, and 20,000 auxiliaries; 15,000 standing troops and 15,000 auxiliaries reported by Sizhou; And the 30,000 people that Kansai just said, wouldn't it be possible to gather nearly 300,000 people in person? ”

"Yes!" Lu Fan was slightly stunned and nodded immediately.

"It's too much." Gongsun Xun shook his head suddenly.

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't know how to reply.

"The decisive battle on the plane, 100,000 is enough, and then the battle line is laid out, and the key points of defense across the river are 30,000 enough! And only Qingzhou and Xuzhou are Duzi, if they really want to fight a decisive battle, Sizhou and Guanxi soldiers and horses are likely to overlap and merge with the main force...... If you cross the river with 130,000 people, and then join Cheng Pu and Xu Rong, you will have 200,000 soldiers and auxiliary soldiers gathered on the local battlefield, and it will only look bloated. Gongsun Xun said slowly.

"Back to Your Highness." It was Lou Gui's turn to come out of the ranks. "There have been discussions and plans between the Privy Council and the Ministry of War before, and one of the suggestions is that it is better to set up the Guanxi Ministries and the Sizhou Cheng General Headquarters as the general reserve, that is to say, except for a small number of troops to defend the checkpoints around Wuguan and Luoyang, most of the rest are stationed in the Hongnong generation, and they will not provide support unless they have to. On the other hand, if there is such a force of soldiers and horses behind them who can go down the river to support the battlefield along the river at any time, they can also go south to Yingchuan if necessary, and even smuggle across Wuguan to Nanyang, wouldn't it be the final word? ”

Gongsun Xun bowed slightly: "This is a reasonable arrangement, tentatively, but the battle situation is chaotic, I don't know what it will develop, we must do a good job of responding to the situation, Zibo takes the lead, let Wenhe and Gongda participate, and the Ministry of War, Privy Council, and Jing'an Taiwan design several more major strategic plans together, and we must be properly prepared." ”

As soon as this statement came out, Han Dang, Jia Xu, Xun You, and Xi Zhong all came out to agree.

Speaking of this, it may be that the main things have been mastered, so Gongsun Xun didn't say more, but looked at Dong Zhao again: "Gongren, on the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the military parade on the Zhangshui side of Tongquetai should be okay, right?" ”

Dong Gongren also calmly ranked: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the elite and ordinary people of Ye are outstandingly trained, but they are just marching along the river outside the city, and the ministers' side has already been properly arranged, and all the generals and ministers of Ye have also been properly assigned to them......"

"You don't need to be elite!" Gongsun Xun suddenly laughed. "Or rather, don't you use all the elite...... Your local mobilization soldiers in Jizhou should be extremely fast, right? ”

"It's nature." Dong Zhao was confused for a while. "Your Highness wants them to participate in the military parade?"

"You just said how much you can gather at the parade?"

"Although I had ordered a parade of Shiwu, counted the number of people, and counted the inventory of ordnance, the parade was too urgent, and it was only a few days away." Dong Zhao couldn't help but be anxious. "At that time, at most, only the locals of Wei County could gather and arm...... That is, there are barely 10,000 people, and among them, the old soldiers, county soldiers, and auxiliary soldiers who have only received military training in Shiwu are too chaotic to sort. ”

"It doesn't matter." Gongsun Xun didn't care. "Ten thousand people are enough! But what else is there to do? ”

Everyone looked at each other and said no more.

After a pause, Zuo Xiangjiao suddenly stepped forward: "Your Highness, at the end of spring in March, there are more than a dozen college students who have taken the spring shooting course, regardless of the difference in the shooting department, they all seek to join the army......

"Who are they?" Gongsun Xun didn't care. "If you want to fight, why not allow it?"

"It's okay for others, but now the first Sima Yi is eighteen years old, claiming to be nineteen, and he has not yet been crowned; Then Wang Cang, who was the first in literature, Wang Zhongxuan, although crowned, was thin and weak......"

"It's all agreed." Gongsun Xun couldn't help pouting when he heard half of it. "Since they are all so eager to make meritorious deeds, why not complete it, let Wang Cang accompany Wang Xiang to learn military Chinese. As for Sima Yi, he was allowed to be crowned and enlisted in the army...... Xu Huang's troops, and then I gave him a word, anyway, it must be Zhongda...... It's just that I don't know what the other three should be called, except for the eight brothers in his family, Uncle Ji and the youngest must be young! ”

The ten important ministers in the hall couldn't help laughing anymore, but after the judge finished laughing, he still wanted to speak and stopped.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Gongsun Xun became more and more unimpressed. "If you become a Xiangguo, do you have a separation from me?"

"Your Highness!" The trial thought about it for a while, but it was with his head held high. "The minister also wants to emulate these two soldiers to go to the front......"

The rest of the Xiangguo and Dong Zhaodeng in the hall were solemn, but Gongsun Xun was dumbfounded.

"The minister thinks that although General Zhendong is a rare generalist, he is a proud person, and he will be care......less if he can't say anything to some unknown juniors in Xuzhou."

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but move slightly in his heart, and then restrained.

"And the minister and Guan Zhendong have known each other for many years, if the minister goes to Qingzhou to be his successor, he will be able to keep Qingzhou safe, and Guan Zhendong can rest assured that he will be on the front line." At this point, the judge bowed to each other in the hall. "The minister knows, that is, the left minister, the most noble, the minister often thinks, in the past, with His Royal Highness to cross the river to Xiangping, how could he have thought that there is today's noble? And since you enjoy this great power, you should be cautious and live up to Your Highness's kindness, especially not to ask for military power...... Therefore, the minister is willing to resign from the left prime minister to set the record straight! ”

In addition to the ten important ministers in the hall, there are only some records and guards of righteousness, one person speaks, and the rest are naturally silent, so once no one speaks, it is quiet to the point of silence, but this move seems to have raised the silence in the hall to a higher level.

Even if a needle drops, it can be heard.

But it was only a moment, Gongsun Xun stood up and stepped forward to help him up for trial: "For eighteen years, Zhengnan has been as bold as ever, this is my luck...... For the sake of the system, I will approve your resignation from the left minister, but when Zhengnan lives in Qingzhou as the head of the cloud, this position will inevitably be vacant waiting for the king's return. ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”I'm the dividing line of the hangingβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"In the sixth year of Jian'an, the Taizu of this dynasty called Yan Gong to establish a party for a few months, and the Central Plains will start a big war. Taizu sighed, shook his hand and said: "Anyone who has known each other for 18 years, Gu knows that Zhengnan dares to do anything, and he resigns according to the system, and then the position of the left minister should be vacant waiting for the king's return." Later, Jizhou Mu Dong Zhao acted on behalf of the left minister, Zhao Daxi, and his younger brother Dong visited the puzzle: "The left minister is solid to judge the south of the country, the war has started, the brother has worked hard, but there is nothing to gain, how happy?" Zhao sneered and said: "Yan Gonggu knows that he has dared to do things in the south for 18 years, and I also know that Yan Gong has not tasted negative people for 18 years!" What do you have to do today?! β€”"The World Speaks New Language". Appreciation
