At that time, Yanmen was in its prime, and now he is forty or fifty years old. And with this person's status and status, no matter what, it can be called pampered for many years.

But even so, when Guo Yi saw the bloody and icy horse head on the way, he still threw down those pigs, sheep and his entourage, and then hurried to Gongsun Xun's camp with Zhao Ping and his nephew Guo Hu in the face of severe cold and freezing...... From his limping posture, it can be seen that he must have fallen a lot along the way.

"Guo Gong is here, hurry up and give Guo Gong a bowl of dumplings." Seeing the visit of the old man, Gongsun Xun was still kind, as if the two were not separated by ten years, but yesterday they were still laughing and talking together on the bank of the Hutuo River. "Tiger meat stuffing is really rare."

It was evening, and the huge Chinese military tent was a little empty at this time, not only did I not see a few officers and guards, but also a few well-known 'military advisors' and 'strategists', and only one Xi Zhong was beside him...... With such a gesture, it really feels like seeing an old friend in a private room.

Of course, where does Guo Yi dare to think about it now, seeing that several soldiers who do not squint seal the door of the tent, and his nephew Guo Hu and that Zhao Ping are also taken away, except for himself for a while, there are only Gongsun Xun and Xi Zhong, and he is even more frightened, so he hurriedly saluted, and then hurriedly sat down.

And just when he was seated, but he didn't know how to speak, an attendant quickly brought a bowl of steaming dumplings...... But there are no chopsticks?

Guo Yi was stunned for a moment, but then remembered many allusions in the history of the Han Dynasty, and then only felt that his scalp was numb, so he stiffened up like a puppet, and then came to the open space in the tent again, and stood with his hands tied.

"Does Guo Gong feel aggrieved?" Gongsun Xun swallowed a dumpling and drank another sip of hot soup, then asked softly. "I worked hard to come to the army, but I, the old man who was taken care of by you a lot, was repeatedly embarrassed, and even harsh?"

Guo Yi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately bowed and saluted: "Returning to General Wei, I really don't have any resentment, but I really didn't think that the general actually meant this before, so I relaxed a little......"

"What do I mean?" Gongsun Xun glanced up at the other party, and then continued to lower his head to eat his tiger meat-filled dumplings.

"Didn't General Wei want me, as well as our Yangqu Guo clan, only the general's horse head?" Guo Yi asked reluctantly while standing in the tent. "It's not that I don't want to help the general, but I heard that the general defeated the Huns in Mayi, and I still have two brothers who only think that General Wei has enough troops and brave soldiers, and Taiyuan has no war......"

"It seems that Guo Gong still feels that he has been wronged." Gongsun Xun suddenly interrupted Guo Yi with a smile, but these words were clearly from the sweet Xizhong who was eating on the side.

"Of course Guo Gong feels aggrieved." Xi Zhicai also held the wooden bowl and said with a smile. "A dignified man with two thousand stones, and he is the head of the Yangqu Guo clan...... This Yangqu Guo clan is second only to the Wang clan in Taiyuan, and even in the entire state...... Junhou, I'm from Yingchuan, and I don't know much about the situation in Taiyuan, right? ”

"That's right." Gongsun Xun put down the bowl, and Zhengse and Xi Zhong introduced. "Almost all of the 2,000-stone clans in Bingzhou are in Taiyuan, and there are seven or eight of them that I know, but among them, only the Wang and Guo clans are the most prosperous...... The Taiyuan Wang family is famous all over the world, naturally there is no need to mention it, whether it is the king of Jinyang or the king of Qixian, they are all talented, and there are countless officials who have reached 2,000 stones, and even Wang Zewang Taishou, who is my deputy general in our army, is actually from the king of Taiyuan; And the Guo family is also famous, and now the Guo family situation in Yangqu City is presided over not only the Guo Yigong in front of him, but also Guo Xungong, who has been the history of Youzhou Thorn, and Guo Honggong, who has been the history of Liangzhou Thorn...... As for Guo's other clan in Taiyuan, although there are some inconveniences in his career, Guo Linzong, a former leader of Shilin, is enough to be proud of the world. ”

"I know this!" Xi Zhong put down the wooden bowl, wiped his mouth first, and then took a few shots. "Who doesn't know Guo Linzong, who doesn't know? The so-called South Xu Beiguo, the scholars in the south should be named after Xu Shao's Yuedan commentary, and the north is this Guo Tai Guo Linzong who is famous in one word! I heard that Wang Ze Wang Taishou and his brother Wang Rou were famous all over the world by virtue of Guo Linzong's words, so their careers went smoothly, and as soon as Guo Linzong died, as many as 10,000 people from all over the world came to the funeral regardless of the remoteness of the state...... Prince, is that so? ”

"Exactly."

"If that's the case, the prince, your subordinates will have to advise!" Xi Zhong suddenly raised his face and said. "The Guo family is so famous, but the prince has repeatedly embarrassed this Guo Yigong, so he is not afraid of falling into a 'bad treatment of the famous family'? The tradition of this dynasty, how many years, as long as it is an official who 'treats the famous family' badly, it has never been long! ”

Guo Yi wanted to speak and stopped, but he couldn't interject at all.

"Besides, the Taiyuan family is dense, and there are those who have been inherited for a hundred years or even a thousand years, and these people marry each other, self-contained, one is prosperous, and one is lost......," Xi Zhong continued to say earnestly. So the prince, if you are so rude to Guo Gong today, aren't you afraid that tomorrow you will evil the entire Taiyuan and let all the clans in Taiyuan vote for Dong Zhuo?! And people like Dong Zhuo are already strong and strong, but they lack popularity, if they get the full support of the Bingzhou clan tomorrow, I am afraid that they will be able to abolish the throne again the day after tomorrow and ascend the throne as the emperor! It doesn't matter if the prince's own reputation is ruined, and the 400-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty is ruined because of this, isn't it your fault that the prince and marquis are ruined? ”

Gongsun Xun sighed when he heard this: "So it's really my fault?" I thought that if I started the army from Youzhou, personally carried firewood to pave the road, and worked hard to fight Dong Xiangnan, it would be enough to live up to the world, but I didn't want to live up to these famous families in the world, otherwise I would lose the Han ......Dynasty."

"Junhou is too self-righteous!" Xi Zhong continued to sneer. "Don't you understand? In the eyes of these famous families, they themselves are the world! What is Dong Zhuo? What is a prince?! You, a general from a border county, how can you shout at these big people? Guo Gong can stare at the frozen city for more than ten miles to greet the prince, which is already giving you a lot of face......"

The two sang and harmonized, trying their best to ridicule, and Guo Yi really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he had no choice but to interrupt Xi Zhong below, and earnestly defended: "General Mingjian, Yi and Yangqu Guo, and even the Taiyuan clans have no intention of rebelling against the general...... In fact, if it weren't for Dong Zhuo's lack of morality, how could we abandon our officials and return home one after another? Please rest assured, the general will never hesitate to do anything about this kind of major right and wrong! ”

"Then why did you come to see me today?" Gongsun Xun, who was originally sneering, suddenly changed color and asked solemnly. "Do you know that I equalized you Guo Yi for three days? For this reason, the army of 20,000 staggered for three days, and encountered a snowstorm? ”

Guo Yi knew that he couldn't avoid this matter anymore, so he reluctantly raised his head, and said with a straight face: "General, we really didn't expect you to mean this...... If you had already spoken, whether it was me Guo Yi or Yangqu Guo, would you really hesitate? Whether it is donating to the country or obeying each other, it is the meaning of your words! ”

"Is this what I'm talking about?!" Gongsun Xun suddenly became angry, and a wooden bowl and a few dumplings also fell directly in front of Guo Yi with his anger. "What are you pretending to be with me?! Taiyuan Guo's family, Yangqu and Jixiu are two places, and there is now a total of Jiuqing, two thorn histories, and one Taishou in your family, each of which is a masterpiece in the world...... Don't you really understand what I mean?! ”

Xi Zhong stole a glance at Gongsun Xun, and after finding that the other party was really angry, he was also a little frightened.

"The world is collapsing, Dong Zhuo is in chaos, and the princes are rising!" Gongsun Xun continued to speak word by word with a dark face.

"But as a Hanchen ......" Since the words were spoken, Guo Yi plucked up his courage instead.

"I didn't let you rebel!" Gongsun Xun interrupted the other party again. "I'm just telling you, the world of great controversy has come, and the golden iron horse will rise together...... At this time, with your ability and strength, rise up and fight, but I have nothing to say! But since I don't fight, I have led troops here, at this time, you are not used by me, you are my enemy in front of me, that's all! ”

"General!" Gongsun Xun was furious, but Guo Yi was also slightly angry. "There is really no one here in Taiyuan who wants to be your enemy! In today's situation, as long as you say and do, if everyone doesn't follow you, will they still follow Dong Zhuo? Isn't Jinyang Wang Ze Wang Jidao in your army? Although I didn't go to Haradara, didn't I come here too? Why is it so harsh? I don't believe that General Wei can still have today's momentum with this to people? Why the hell?! Could it be that he felt ashamed that he had personally served a bowl of wheat rice with me that day, and today he is the weight of the world? ”

"Guo Gong!" Gongsun Xun, who was sitting behind the chairman, sneered, but couldn't help shaking his head. "If it weren't for the friendship of the day, why would I be so graceful and give you room again and again? Believe it or not, if it were someone else, it would not be the head of the horse that was sent today, but the head of your nephew Guo Hu, and tonight's dumplings will probably be enjoyed at your home. ”

"Why is that?" Guo Yi became more and more frightened and suspicious.

"Who made you the Taiyuan clan?" Gongsun Xun sighed, and then got up slowly, but gave a deeper answer. "If it were somewhere else, I would naturally be a corporal of the Shizu Lixian, and then people-oriented. But in Taiyuan, I can only suppress people with great power......"

Guo Yi was really even more puzzled: "Dare to ask the general, what is the difference between the Taiyuan clan and other places?" ”

"I don't have any other intentions, it's just that there are too many clans in Taiyuan, almost every county and every Yi has a clan, and even has to move to another branch...... In other words, a lot of it overflows! Gongsun Xun walked forward with his hands in his hands and said. There are so many that even Haoqiang can't gain a foothold in Taiyuan. ”

"Isn't that a good thing?" Guo Yi tried his best to defend himself. "The general is also a person who has been in power for many years, doesn't he know that he is strong, greedy, and lawless? And no matter how the family is, it also has a family tradition, at least it will not do anything to oppress the people and disturb the administration......"

"I don't think it's okay to oppress the people, Wang, Guo, Wen, Sun, Linghu, Guan, Tian...... I know a lot of these characters from the Taiyuan family, at least their virtue and talent are very significant. Gongsun Xun bowed slightly, but when he walked to Guo Yi's side, he suddenly asked. But disrupt the administrative ...... Guo Gong, how many registered population is there in Taiyuan? ”

"Two hundred and eighty thousand!"

"Where's Yanmen?"

"Before 240,000, because of the harassment of Xianbei that day, it gradually lost to 120,000, but after you and I checked Haoqiang back then, accepted the homeless, and died in Tanshihuai over the years, it gradually returned to 1780,000!"

"What is the actual population of Yanmen?"

"Even if it's not too many bandits, there are always 200,000, right?" Of course, Guo Yi is clear.

"What is the actual population of Taiyuan?" Gongsun Xun stopped behind the other party and suddenly asked.

Guo Yi was speechless for a while, but he was a talented and virtuous person after all, and he would not hide anything, so after a little frustration, he still replied with a straight face: "Taiyuan is more stable than Yanmen, the county is twice as good as Yanmen, and the cultivated land and transportation are also better than Yanmen...... I estimate that there are 400,000 people! ”

"There aren't many powerful families in Taiyuan, who hides these people and cultivated land?" Gongsun Xun was not in a hurry.

Guo Yi was speechless.

"I'm not blaming you for this." Gongsun Xun sighed behind the other party. "The world is in chaos like this, not to mention that this kind of mountain nest is naturally good at hiding people, no matter what, it is better than letting these people go to Taihang Mountain to be purple mountain thieves, go to Hedong, and Shangdang to be Baibo bandits, right? I just want to tell Guo Gong a truth, the world is like this, it is something wrong at the root, it is the same everywhere, and elsewhere it is those low-ranking heroes who have annexed these populations and fields...... You Taiyuan do not have a place for the powerful to survive, but it does not mean that no one disturbs the administration in the fields and population! Even the most likely is that you Taiyuan clans who have both the name of the clan and the reality of the strong and powerful are doing it. ”

Guo Yi became more and more silent.

"I'm in Zhongshan, and I've seen the powerful and powerful, joining forces to suppress the declining clan; In Hanoi, I have seen poor people who only have two pairs of pants and still plough the land themselves; In Yanzhou, I have seen a large number of powerful people with a population of tens of thousands who can easily send thousands of troops...... But no matter what, in these places, the family is the family, the strong is the strong, the family is high, and the world is famous; The powerful live under it, but they get the land and the population...... Only you Taiyuan, on the surface, is a place where the powerful and powerful who are persecuted by the world and have no virtue, but in fact, they are the unity of the world and the strong and powerful, and they exist in name only! Guo Gong, you tell me the truth, from top to bottom in Yangqu City, isn't it your Guo family who has the final say? ”

"General Wei treats us as heroes who have become a place of trouble?" Guo Yi finally came to his senses. "Is it true that as long as you hand over the population, land, money and food, you will be safe?"

"As I said, you are both a family and a powerful man." Gongsun Xun sighed. "Therefore, I must not only be as fierce as the winter wind when dealing with Haoqiang, but also face up to the abilities and talents of you people, judge things on the matter, put people first, and treat the virtuous and capable people among you like a spring breeze......"

At this point, Gongsun Xun leaned over from the ground and picked up the chopsticks he had just thrown, but he turned his hand and put it in Guo Yi's hand: "Guo Gong, we have been friends for more than ten years, when your brother Guo Xungong was the assassin of Youzhou, he went to visit me in the middle of the night, and he opened his mouth to be your brother, and since he is such an old man, I always have you a bowl of food here!" But after eating, you go back and tell Guo Xungong and Guo Honggong, who are still in the city, not to fool me with a few cows and sheep...... When I was in Yanzhou that day, I told him when I asked that Haoqiang to send troops and food, don't think that I dare not raze the human race...... The world has changed! ”

"What is this?" Guo Yi held the pair of chopsticks in his hand and shook his head.

"It's nothing." Gongsun Xun replied with a proud hand. "You just have to remember that tomorrow after I go down to Linyang Qucheng, there will only be two points between the enemy and me...... There is no third way! ”

"Why are you talking to me about this?" Guo Yi became more and more helpless. "With the general's city government and wisdom, this kind of thing could have been done more simply!"

"Didn't you say it, who made us old friends?" Gongsun Xun asked with emotion. "After eating this bowl of dumplings, let's go back quickly!"

Half an hour later, Guo Yi left the big tent of the Chinese army and hurried back to Yangqu overnight with his nephew, while Gongsun Xun and Xi Zhong continued to discuss the situation in Taiyuan.

"Junhou, don't you really need two military advisors to participate in this matter?" Xi Zhong looked at the empty cases, and couldn't help but ask again about something that he had already said several times.

"Zi Bo is good at military, Yuan Hao is good at situation, this kind of thing is mainly to play tricks on people's hearts...... I can ask them more if you help me with the details, so why let them ask more? Gongsun Xun didn't think so.

"In fact, in the final analysis, it may not be the hearts of the people." Xi Zhong rolled up his sleeves and sighed faintly. "The main thing is that the situation is changing too quickly...... Just as the prince asked when he was angry before, how could such a brilliant person not understand the situation? What's more, Guo Xun and Guo Yi have all worked a lot with the prince and the marquis, so how can they not understand the ability of the prince and the temper of the prince? ”

"That's right, they just didn't have time to turn." Gongsun Xun slowly bowed his head. "And I'm really a little out of the way this time...... But there is no way, time is running out, the road is difficult not to mention, the information ahead is also cut off, I don't know anything about the situation in Luoyang, and whether the other princes understand that they want to summarize the local forces to follow the way of kings and ministers, there is no way to know...... I can't wait, let alone care about this. ”

Xi Zhong slowly bowed his head.

"Anyway," Gongsun Xun continued to sigh. "This time in Taiyuan, I want to use the back of the knife to slap them in the face, so that they can sober up, the world is no longer the world of the past, my Gongsun Xun wants the truth of the monarch and the minister, bow down to the ear, not some colleagues to help, and conspire for justice! I will take the world, but I will not take the world for them! ”

Xi Zhong's heart moved slightly, but he didn't say much.

On the second day, the Youzhou army continued to move south, straight into Yangqu City, and Yangqu Guo also marched out of the city to meet him this time. Among them, the former colleague of Gongsun Xun, the leader of the Guo family who came out to welcome this time, and Guo Xun, the former assassin of Youzhou, was even more straight to the point, bowed down in public, called Ming Gong, and was willing to donate his family to help Dong Fuhan.

In this way, the Youzhou army entered the city for a short rest, and replenished a large amount of grain and grass, military funds, and strong men on the spot, and the army became more and more majestic.

However, two days later, when the powerful Youzhou army took advantage of the sunny weather to set off south again, and within a few days, they successively went down to Yuxian and Langmeng, and were about to arrive in the Taiyuan Basin, but suddenly heard an incredible message on the way!

"Is this true?!" Wang Ze, who is known as a deputy general in the army and is actually an idler, actually went straight to the big tent after hearing the news, but no one was surprised. "General Wei! In the past, there was a son in my clan who led troops to follow Taiyuan Taishou Yang and finally rejected the general? ”

"That's true." In the silence of the generals, sitting at the top, Gongsun Xun, whose face was already a little unsightly, also became more and more gloomy. "It's my fault...... He was a little harsh on Guo Yi before, but he let this person go to Jiexiu to persuade his fellow clansmen...... Unexpectedly, this person probably felt that I was suspected of insulting him before, and he was resentful, so he spread rumors in Jinyang, saying that I wanted to punish Taiyuan Taishou Yang Zhong, and also raze the entire Wang clan, and take the assets of the entire Taiyuan clan to fill the army! ”

"This kind of thing...... I don't know anything else, where did the Yi Wang clan come from? Wang Ze was dumbfounded. Don't they know that I'm in General Wei's army? ”

"I heard it's because of the prince's division." Gongsun Xun raised his eyebrows slightly. "Don't hide it from the prince, I have personally told Guo Yi before, and now in the situation in Taiyuan, those who do not obey me are just Dong's traitors, and Dong's traitors always have to kill without mercy. But I didn't know until today that your prince Wang Yun of the same clan in Qi County is now the first important minister under Dong Zhuo...... It is said that his person received the Shangshu order and was in charge of the government, and the situation of the Dong family in the court was actually done by this person...... The Wang family probably doesn't know how to defend themselves, right? ”

Wang Ze was stunned and speechless: "Zishi actually followed Dong Thief?" ”

"Ji Daogong!" Xi Zhong next to him interjected helplessly. "Is it now a matter of thinking about the prince's division? Now it's your clan who wants to lead troops to refuse me to ask for Dong Dajun! In front of us, there is a passage pass, there is Taiyuan Jiancheng, there is Yang Zhong, the Taiyuan Taishou, and many Taiyuan clans who were bewitched by Guo Yi...... Dare to ask Ji Daogong, what can I do if so? ! ”

Wang Ze is known as a famous minister, and he can't help but panic for a while.

—————I am the dividing line that has fallen into the deceitful way—————

"At the end of the Middle Plains, Dong Zhuo abolished the throne, dedicated the emperor to the throne, Zhuo to the number of officials and states, relying on the merger of people, especially Yun Zhi is outstanding, is to worship the servant, and then move to the Shangshu order, the size of the government, all entrusted to Yun. And Yun is hypocritical, and every time he is attached, Zhuo also pushes his heart and does not have doubts, so he has to support the royal family in danger. Both inside and outside the ministers, they are all dependent. When Taizu attacked Dong and passed Taiyuan, he didn't know the hearts of the people in Luozhong, and the sin Wang was rebellious, and the people sighed. - "New Yanshu". Volume sixty-two.
