Gongsun Xun's rank is there, and the hussar generals and chariot generals who have just appeared in Luozhong recently, as well as the new three dukes who have not been in office for two months, have sent envoys to pay their respects, which can only be regarded as a matter of course, but it does not explain anything. It's just that the military parade is imminent, and many of the captains of the Northern Army and the West Park have come here, which really makes people think about it.

Obviously, as Zhang Yang thought, the general's hand obviously had the intention of using Gongsun Xun's power to win over and force these people to stand in line. However, Zhang Yang is a fake Sima, and his thoughts are still a little shallow. In fact, in all fairness, He Jin's hand obviously also has the good intentions of these people to stabilize the position of Gongsun Xun, who has not appeared for several years.

In such a situation, it can only be said that the sedan chair carries people...... Although the sedan chair is still non-mainstream in these years, the reason is the same. It is best to combine the virtual and the real, and suddenly create an atmosphere that is easy to look forward to, and then stabilize the situation while the iron is hot, and it will be a big move in the province.

can only say that He Jin's move can be called wonderful, or rather, now it is bound to be full of talents.

However, He Jin and Gongsun Xun crossed the river opposite each other, echoing properly, and shaking Luozhong for a while, but the reaction of the Son of Heaven was also extremely fast and powerful, and he actually made a decision immediately and immediately sent an envoy to see Gongsun Xun...... I don't know if people will be so clear and decisive as long as they realize that they are dying.

"Sure enough, it's lively!"

As soon as Cao Cao got off the boat, he saw that the envoy's guard of honor was blocked outside the cantonment next to the Mengjin ferry, and then he couldn't help laughing again, but he squinted his eyes and twisted his beard and squeezed it from the side, and then wisely chose a piece of terrace on the side of the ferry, condescending, close to watch...... This kind of thing, people seem to be used to urinating.

As for the few people next to them, although they also squeezed over out of instinct, don't say that Liu Bei, Zhang Yang, Zhang Liao and others are naturally not at the level enough, and they don't know much about it, even Xu Rong and Lu Bu are also at a loss for this, plus a little uneasy...... These people are not like Cao Cao, who has been in Luoyang since he was a child, and he is well-informed, and they are naturally in awe of the word imperial power.

"I am Zhang Wen, the captain of Sili, and I have an edict to the Marquis of Ji on the order of the Son of Heaven, and I ask him to come out quickly to receive the order." It turned out that the person who came to see Gongsun Xun as an angel this time was actually the former Tai Lieutenant plus the former Che Cavalry General, and the current Sili Captain Zhang Wen, that is, the person who commanded the 100,000 army in the past to conquer the west.

This person came to be an envoy, and it can only be said that the Son of Heaven of Beigong really attaches great importance to Gongsun Xun.

However, with Zhang Wen's identity and the arrival of the festival, the small village established by Gongsun Xun on the vacant land by the ferry port should not be closed.

Under normal circumstances, any angel should pull down his face at this time and directly cut the guards guarding the door...... But isn't this Zhang Wen and Taiwei Zhang in front of him who is wholeheartedly a big official and a thin mud? When he had an army of 100,000 in his hands that day, he didn't want to make trouble with his subordinates, let alone face a figure like Gongsun Xun at this delicate moment?

So, Zhang Wen waited for a while, and could only come forward to report his name in person.

I have to say that the double deterrent power of Si Li's lieutenant and angel is still very great, and the few guards who stood in front of the simple gate with their swords were a little unable to hold on in an instant, and then in desperation, the first person also immediately turned around and went to the big tent in the village that was only a few dozen steps away.

Zhang Wen also breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

However, what made people stunned next was that in front of everyone's eyes, the envoys of all the dignitaries in Luoyang were driven out almost immediately after the warrior entered the account...... Obviously, Gongsun Xun still didn't pay attention.

The onlookers looked complicated, and people like Cao Cao, who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, simply laughed.

Zhang Wen stood in front of the simple gate, only a few dozen steps away from the big tent, this scene was clearly seen, and the whispers behind him and the surrounding laughter were also clearly heard...... For a moment, the person almost wanted to leave in shame.

But how is it possible to go? He is clearly here to preach the message...... And he didn't believe it anymore, why did this Gongsun Xun come to this point? If he really openly rejected the messenger of the Son of Heaven outside the door, I'm afraid He Jin wouldn't be able to hold him, right? What's more, now that everyone is watching, he Zhang Wen is afraid of losing face, and Gongsun Xun is not afraid of falling into the name of a chaotic minister and thief behind his back?

Just when Zhang Wen was embarrassed and indignant, the guards who reported the news were driven out of the tent, but one person came out of the tent, and the door of the tent was rolled up.

"It's Yingchuan Xizhong." Liu Bei first said the name of this person without changing his face, but he was suddenly slightly stunned. "It turns out that my brother is doing a sacrifice."

Not only Liu Bei, as Xi Zhong asked people to roll up the big curtain door, almost everyone saw the situation - Gongsun Xun was actually preparing three animals and making a sacrifice.

At this moment, even Zhang Wen was born, and turned to wait for the other party to end the sacrifice, but Cao Cao squinted more and more, and then twisted his beard.

The sacrifice ended step by step, but Gongsun Xun did not delay and prevaricate, but simply came out in person, and then faced Zhang Wen in the gate and saluted to receive the order.

The will is very simple, add Gongsun Xun as a special entry, Guanglu doctor, and enter Luo.

In all fairness, based on the will of the Son of Heaven today, Gongsun Xun's evaluation of his response seems to be a little higher, because this is a very relenting and restrained will that is also very effective...... It's simple, reasonable, neither to force Gongsun Xun to stand in line again, nor to be condescending, but in the end it shows his influence as the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, Gongsun Xun could not accept this will.

"The minister doesn't dare to take it." After Gongsun Xun got up, the colors were opposite.

Zhang Wen was silent for a moment, although he was a lieutenant of Si Li, he was not willing to get involved in this kind of major matter related to military power, especially since the Son of Heaven's health is getting worse and worse now, coupled with the ridiculous longevity of the Son of Heaven in this dynasty, he can basically conclude that the Son of Heaven has a few days to live...... According to the Han tradition, as soon as the Son of Heaven died, relatives, scholars, and eunuchs had to be killed.

But then again, Zhang Wen has a duty after all, and he was ordered by the Son of Heaven to come here to deliver the decree, so it is ridiculous to go back directly without knowing anything.

In any case, the words have to be asked.

"Dare to ask the thistle." Zhang Wen pondered for a moment, and then asked in a calmer tone as much as possible. What is the reason for this? The edict of the Son of Heaven cannot be left unattended, but is there any health problem? ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Xun not only did not get a sense of relaxation behind the steps, but suddenly became solemn, and immediately looked at the other party coldly.

In other words, although it is early winter at this time, the weather is not very cold, especially the direct sunlight in the afternoon, but it is very warm and pleasant.

"General Wei." Almost out of self-preservation instinct, Zhang Wen immediately gritted his teeth and took a half step forward, trying to communicate in a low voice. "I ......"

"Dare to ask Captain Si Li, what do you mean by this? Isn't it because he wants to follow the example of the angels who forced my family's old friend Sima Zhi to death and force my family's monarch to death? At this moment, as a scribe behind Gongsun Xun suddenly scolded, Zhang Wen's face immediately turned bloodless. Don't you know who my monarch was in the account just now?! Moreover, don't you know that after the death of Sima Gong that day, the prince of my family swore that he would never pay a penny to buy an official with the eunuch in this life? ”

Zhang Wen only felt that his mind was buzzing, and he remembered that Sima Zhi committed suicide in this place, and the reason why he committed suicide was because he was forced by angels under the pretext of illness and not being official...... The other party behaved like this, and he was really helpless.

However, without waiting for Zhang Wen to explain, the scribe actually drew his sword again and asked directly: "As a lieutenant of the division, you have the power of the division, but you have hinted again and again, what do you mean?" Isn't it my family's prince who said that there is something wrong today, and you have to arrest people directly?! ”

"How is that possible?!" Zhang Wen didn't dare to let the situation go any further, so he immediately denied it in order to shirk it. "How could I do such a thing?!"

"How could you not do such a thing?" The man continued to question. "Everyone in the world knows that you Zhang Wen is the third prince because of the wealth and goods that are exported to the West Garden...... Always welcome the eunuchs of the North Palace! The world is so turbulent, all started by eunuchs, you are a famous family in Nanyang, are you not afraid of being ridiculed by the world? ”

Zhang Wen was immediately frightened and speechless!

After all, this scene in front of him is the scene that he is most worried and afraid of!

First of all, whether it is Zhang Wen or Cui Lie before, they are actually standard scholars, and they are still typical scholars in their bones, and they are still of the same mind as the scholars.

But who made them meet a wonderful genius?

And who made them a little bit away from the position of the Luozhong Clan?

In the face of this class gap, in the face of the eunuchs who controlled the key points of the North Palace, some people, like the former master Chen Qiu, who had been judged before, chose to plot against the eunuchs, but the result was death and almost annihilation; Not only that, but also the previous Wang Yun's imprisonment and Yangqiu's tragic death, all of which show the strength of the eunuchs...... So later, when a group of people such as Cui Lie and Zhang Wen came to this threshold again, they chose to be reluctant and chose to be moderately welcomed.

But it was at this time that a new generation of young scholars grew up rapidly, Yuan Shao in Luozhong, Gongsun Xun in Youzhou, and those who survived more than ten years of party power, all of them held knives and horizontal knives, shouting and shouting and killing, as if they wanted to rely on force to stand with eunuchs.

This kind of thing, such as Zhang Wen, people don't dare to do, but they don't dare to oppose it, and more importantly, they are evaluated by unexpected people after all, and they want to be embarrassed!

On that day, Cui Lie was publicly ridiculed by Gongsun Xun, and he was depressed when he went back, so he asked his son about his reputation in Luozhong, but his son Cui Jun had already lost face among the young scholars in Luozhong because of his father's purchase of officials, so he bluntly ridiculed, causing Cui Lie to beat his son, and was escaped by the other party.

The same is true for Zhang Wen...... As a typical old-fashioned scholar, he is especially afraid of losing face, but his official position is too high, and everyone usually gives face, so no one has the opportunity to ridicule him.

But what about Gongsun Xun?

But what if today's son is not in good health, and he sees this group of young scholars ready to move?

For a while, as an angel, Zhang Wen was ashamed and angry, but he couldn't explain it, but he just wanted to flee in a hurry.

"I haven't seen him for a few years, but Lou Zibo has become a good mouth." Xu Rong sighed for a while.

"Obviously prepared." Liu Bei said lightly.

"Do you feel ashamed to be a lieutenant and a lieutenant who comes to seal the official with a festival?" Although Zhang Yang has some political literacy, he is difficult to understand after all.

"That's the white Doctor Guanglu!" Lu Bu was also speechless with emotion. "I think I have been almost discarded since the yellow scarf, and it will be difficult to move an inch for several years"

Unexpectedly, Cao Mengde, who had been smiling obviously, couldn't help but gradually become solemn at this time: "That's the crime of being a eunuch, how can you bear it?" ”

The people around were silent.

Zhang Liao, who had just been crowned, couldn't understand what this group of people were talking about at all...... I just think they're just as powerful as the two sides of the confrontation over there.

However, after an instant, Gongsun Xun immediately let the young Zhang Liao know what the real power was.

"General Wei, General Wei, the fact that I am welcoming and welcoming the eunuchs is a false statement, and I have no intention of persecution in this trip." Zhang Wen barely stood still, and didn't dare to look at the slapping scribe, but reluctantly explained to Gongsun Xun, who was silent. "When I go back today, I will definitely explain it to the Son of Heaven......"

"Captain Si Li came in such a hurry, hurried away." Gongsun Xun finally held the saber and spoke lightly. "People who don't know, they still think that I am overbearing and let you be wronged!"

"Don't dare...... I really don't dare! Zhang Wen had no choice but to take a few steps back and come to the back of the scepter and bow to each other. Today's incident is that I don't know it clearly, and I have brought humiliation on myself...... The contemptible people really forgot that Sima Gong died here. ”

"Now you know?"

"It's nature!"

"What do you want?"

"Please return to Luoyang, don't dare to ask the prince and the marquis again......"

"Shouldn't you go in and worship Uncle Sima before leaving?" Gongsun Xun suddenly asked calmly.

“……”

Zhang Wen lost his soul, but he was helpless, so he could only let people put away the scepter, staggered into the tent, and then bowed his head and worshipped. However, when he walked out of the tent, he suddenly found himself surrounded by more than 100 Angzang sword warriors under the harsh winter afternoon sun.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Wen didn't know if his brain was a little drowsy or something at this time, but he was not afraid, but he was a little dazed.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Gongsun Xun was not in a hurry, standing behind these warriors with his hands in his hands, and said loudly. "If it is said that this Sili Lieutenant Zhang Gong's trip is to persecute me, I don't believe it, because he doesn't have the guts. But to say that such people cannot harm others is to deceive oneself...... My brother Fu Xie Fu Nanrong died in Jicheng, Hanyang last year, and those who killed him were Zhao Zhong, Geng Contempt, and ...... That's it! If it weren't for Zhao Zhong's jealousy of Nanrong, Nanrong would not have been driven to a place like Hanyang to be guarded; If it weren't for Geng's contempt and arrogance, he hastily sent troops to force the entire Liangzhou, Nanrong would not have been surrounded; And if it weren't for this person who raised 100,000 soldiers and horses, worked hard and mobilized the people, but returned defeated, where would there be anything later? ”

"I didn't kill Fu Nanrong...... Zhang Wen said in a panic.

"Nanrong died because of you!" Gongsun Xun said awe-inspiringly. "Incompetent and in a high position, how different is it from a thief?! What is the difference between bribing a high position without merit and taking refuge in a eunuch? ”

Zhang Wen didn't know what to say.

"On that day, I broke 100,000 yellow turban thieves in Changshe, and when I saw Sun Wentai's bravery, I called Sima in the army to see his description, and today I took you here from Youzhou, but I didn't expect to see this person first." At this point, Gongsun Xun was angry and difficult to control. "In the past, I taught you the Book of Songs in Changping, saying that 'rats have skin', and I am a person in this generation! You can't look past them one by one, remember this person's appearance, name, and official position! Then take it to heart and take it as a warning! ”

The people around gathered dozens of steps away, but they were all frightened, and Zhang Wen suddenly woke up, and immediately snatched the scepter from his already stunned attendant, and then actually raised the staff with one hand to open the way, and covered his face with the other, and fled in panic.

When he arrived at the ferry, he got on the boat, and regardless of whether his attendants followed, he leaned over the bottom of the boat and urged the boatman to sail south to Luoyang as soon as possible.

The people around were stunned and sweaty.

Seeing Zhang Wencang fleeing in panic, many envoys and officials who were originally excited here did not dare to move.

"My prince has something to say here!" Lou Gui still carried his sword, walked to the gate, and raised his head to each other. "As the so-called eunuchs do not stand apart...... If there are eunuch children here, they are not allowed to enter this gate, so as not to splash blood for five steps; If there is an eunuch who welcomes the North Palace without permission, such as the former, he is not allowed to enter this door, so as not to bring humiliation on himself! ”

After that, Na Lou Gui actually called someone to come and hang this sword above the gate to make a declaration!

waited until Gongsun Xun and Lou Guifu entered the account again, and then there was a commotion again in front of the gate, and the natural general Changshi Wang Qian, who went in first, saw that his eyes did not squint, and he went straight from under the blade of the sword; However, the next envoy of the hussar general Dong Zhong sighed, turned around and left; An interesting thing happened to the messenger of the chariot general He Miao...... The envoy hesitated for a moment, but he took off the official seal of his chariot general, and then entered in white!

It turned out that this person was actually Gongsun Xun's old friend of Handan, the mentor of the recruit, Anping Famous Scholar Le Yin! On the one hand, he could not deny He Miao's intimate posture with the eunuch, and on the other hand, as a scholar, he had no choice but to simply abandon the official and enter as an old friend rather than an envoy of the general of the chariot cavalry.

The next three dukes are actually pure Confucians who have just been promoted, but there is no problem, and after the three dukes enter the envoys, they ...... Cao Cao held his head high, and his face was as usual and he mixed in with a group of people behind him.

said that he was mixed in, there are two hundred servants in this small village, how can he not recognize him Cao Mengde? Short, squinting, and so distinctive.

It is Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, Xu Rong, Xu Bojin, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, and they are all old acquaintances.

However, Zhang Liao actually said hello, smiled at a righteous servant with a state accent, and then calmly entered, which made Zhang Yang unconsciously suspicious.

Stepping into the tent, Gongsun Xun had already withdrawn to pay respects, and after the general Wei had a rough meeting with the envoys of the three princes and nine qings, the huge tent gradually became sparse according to the relationship between relatives and relatives.

In the end, Zhang Yang actually had to talk to Gongsun Xun in front of him, and don't say it, the other party is completely different from those high-ranking officials in Luozhong, he has no shelf, and there is no extremely helpless regional discrimination!

After some talking, Gongsun Xun actually encouraged Zhang Yang a few words, and even asked someone to take a knife and personally match this person.

Zhang Yang just saw the other party's former lieutenant, and now the captain of Si Li was forced to be like that, and his heart was empty, where would he have thought of such a play? When he walked out of the gate with his head held high, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart...... Even with such a rank, General Wei is really from a border county!

As for the fact that this fake Sima of Bingzhou didn't notice that Zhang Liao disappeared until he got on the boat and crossed half of the Yellow River, and then became more and more suspicious, but it was a later story.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Gongsun Xun continued to talk with the visitors...... As a group of irrelevant people left one after another, Xu Rong and others also gave a greeting to him, and let him cross the river and return to the camp, not to mention, in the end, there was only one Liu Bei and Liu Xuande left in the tent.

"Where did Meng De go?" Gongsun Xun sent Wang Qian, who returned satisfied, out, and returned to the tent, but first asked another person.

"Back to my brother." The afternoon before, Liu Bei, who had been standing behind a few cases, stepped forward respectfully and replied. "Brother Meng De took Uncle Zi outside to watch the sunset over the Yellow River."

"Is he so underestimating me?" Gongsun Xun laughed for a moment, and then sat back on the main seat in the tent casually. "Xuande and sit."

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, and sat down in an empty seat with a normal face.

"Why do you bother?" Gongsun Xun replied with a smile. "Do you think I'm going to embarrass you like Zhang Wen?"

Liu Bei sighed for a while, but he was silent.

In other words, last month, he saw Gongsun Xun hiding in Guangyang for several years, and Luoyang was treacherous for a while, and Wang Fen died under his rule before, so he couldn't hold back his ambition and ambition in his heart, so he stepped forward, and thought that he could not live up to anyone.

But who would have thought that Gongsun Xun would suddenly come out of the mountain? And as soon as he arrived here, he shook the Jingshi, changed the overall situation, and made his previous hard work come to naught and a joke.

What's more important is that if this is the case, what is his Liu Bei's previous behavior? If Gongsun Xun is resentful, with the relationship between the two, how can he be opposite?

However, Liu Xuande is by no means a person who dares not to admit it, so he made the first move to visit each other with the old acquaintances of the Luozhong Forbidden Army.

Liu Bei was frank and resolute in his heart, and Gongsun Xun, who was sitting opposite, was also strange and emotional.

To tell the truth, Gongsun Xun actually understood Liu Bei's mentality at this time, because the other party at this time was just like himself a few years ago, he could even say those things for Liu Bei that lived up to the world, and he could even imagine what reason the other party used to persuade him to make such a move.

But then again...... I have arranged so many people in Jizhou, Hanoi, and Luoyang, why can others endure it and are willing to believe in him Gongsun Xun, but Liu Bei is unwilling? Is it that no one else is suspicious? Or are everyone else mortal?

In the final analysis, in addition to doubts, in the end, he Liu Xuande has a sense of ambition in his heart!

The eldest husband was born in the world, how can he live under the people for a long time?!

Gongsun Xun believes that Cao Cao, who was watching the sunset outside at this time, and Lu Bu, who had respectfully said goodbye before, may have such a sentence in his heart!

So what to do?

Looking for a chance to kill them? Killed everyone?

Why kill them? Kill them because of ambition, then the one who is really regarded as a monster by the world is his grandson Xun, right? And is there a lack of ambitious people in this world? If Cao Cao is killed, will there be fewer deaths in the war in the Central Plains? Even if he killed Han Sui in this place in Hanoi before, will Xiliang not rebel?

And if it wasn't because of ambition, then why didn't Cao Cao kill him because he was smart? Kill Liu Bei because he is attractive?

It's ridiculous!

Momentum is potential, people are people, and this is what Gongsun Xun has thought about the most over the years.

As for the matter in front of him, in fact, on the way here, after receiving the letter of the trial, Gongsun Xun had already thought very clearly.

If you can whip the world, you can level the rivers and mountains...... Whether it's Liu Xuande or Cao Mengde, naturally don't worry! And a smart and open-minded person like Cao Cao, a benevolent and charismatic person like Liu Bei, is better than Lu Bu and Yuan Shu outside, right?

Clean up the rivers and mountains, don't rely on your own strength and virtue, do you have to rely on the opponent too bad?

"Xuande doesn't have to worry about it." Gongsun Xun suddenly smiled and said. "You treat me as a brother, and I treat you as a brother, both of them are Hanchen, do you want to treat each other as kings and ministers again? Even if he is really a subordinate official, he is only praised upward, and there is no hindrance downward...... The world is turbulent, you have a stirring heart, I will only be happy. ”

Liu Bei Dingding looked at Gongsun Xun, got up and bowed his head: "My brother is above, and I am ready to start by myself, and I will be favored by my brother, although I am not a monarch and a minister, but also a brother's love and the grace of knowing it...... Bei swears here, although the court is treacherous, but Bei will never face his brother in this life, if he violates this oath, I will die in blood! ”

Gongsun Xun smiled again: "I don't ask you for this oath, I just ask you not to make a decision in your heart at this time in the future." ”

"Roll the river!" On the bank of the river outside the tent, Cao Cao sighed. "Uncle Zi, do you still remember the brilliant words of our youth?"

"I don't remember!" Lou Gui immediately choked.

——————I am the dividing line that does not forget my original intention——————

"In the sixth year of Zhongping, in the winter, the general He Jin believed in the letter with Taizu, saying that he lost his military power, or hindered the eunuchs, Taizu heard it, and led his private soldiers to Hanoi, and the northern army of Luozhong and the old Taizu of Xiyuan came to pay homage. When the eunuchs in Luozhong heard this, they spoke to Emperor Ling, and sent Zhang Wen, the lieutenant of Sili, to make him enter Luo. As a result, Taizu hung his sword in Yuanmen, and Zhang Wen sighed when he saw it, and he walked away in shame. —The Book of Old Swallows. Volume I. Emperor Taizu Wu Benji
