Chapter 16 The Western Expedition to Zhang Lu
I saw Pang Tongyi correcting the case file in his hand, giving orders in his mouth, and listening to the statements of the plaintiff and defendant in the hall, which were straightforward and clear, and there was no mistake. The people bowed their heads and bowed down, thinking that Pang Tong was a man of God.
In less than half a day, Pang Tong had finished all the official affairs accumulated in the county for two months, and Pang threw the pen on the ground and asked Han Xing: "What is the waste?" Cao Cao, Liu Bei, I regard it as if I was looking at the text in the palm of my hand, measuring this small county, how can I mind! ”
Han Xing was shocked, hurriedly got up from the chair, walked in front of Pang Tong and said, "Mr. is talented, the kid is disrespectful." I should strongly recommend it to my father. ”
Pang Tong said with a smile: "He Lao Gongzi recommended that Tong be appointed to serve in this county, just to wait and see that the Marquis of Chu is the ear of others. ”
At this time, Chen Xiu, beside Han Xing, asked, "Since Mr. Pang Tong is a great talent, why don't you participate in the scientific examination?" If you can get the top prize, the name of Mr. will be more popular. ”
Pang Tong raised his head and laughed: "Although Chu Hou's system is good, there are still some shortcomings. I have my own real talent and learning, why do I need to participate in the scientific examination? ”
Pang Tong took out the recommendation letter written by Sima Hui, and Han Xing asked in surprise after reading it: "When Mr. first saw my uncle, why didn't you take it out?" ”
Pang Tong said proudly: "If it is about to come out, it seems that it will be done exclusively through a letter of recommendation." ”
Han Xing was overjoyed and said: "If I hadn't come to this county on my father's orders today, I would have lost a great sage." ”
Han Xing then asked Pang Tong to get into his car and return to Jianye together. Han Xing stayed in the pavilion and went home to meet Han Xuan first.
Han Xuanzheng was teasing their newly raised puppy with Huang Wudie and Han Wanqing, and Han Xuan remembered the white wolf king who had saved him when he was assassinated in Changsha. It should be the little wolf that Huang Wudie raised during the District Star Rebellion that year.
Dogs are the most loyal companions of humans, and wolves, as the ancestors of dogs, are also human. So when Han Xuan was in danger, the white wolf came back to repay the favor.
Back then, Han Xuan hunted, and in order to save a deer, he shot the mother of those little wolves. Later, he and Huang Wudie adopted those little wolves, and the little white wolf returned to the mountains and forests after being lost, and became the later white wolf king. And Han Xuan was later rescued by it, maybe everything was already doomed.
Han Xuan and Huang Wudie talked about this, and Huang Wudie remembered the things they experienced together back then, she suffered many misfortunes, and her relatives left her one by one. But luckily she met Han Xuan. This man is sincere to her, and she has felt very happy to have taken care of her for so many years.
At this time, Han Xing ran in from outside the courtyard and shouted Han Xuan with joy: "Father, father!" ”
Han Xuan smiled and said, "Xing'er is back." ”
Han Xing came to the three of them, and Han Xuan asked with a smile: "Xing'er, you are so happy, this inspection of Leiyang County will definitely be rewarded?" ”
"Father. I found a great talent in Leiyang County, please ask my father to reuse him! ”
"Oh, who is it?"
"Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan!"
"What! Feng Xiao Pang Tong? ”
Han Xuan followed Han Xing to the pavilion and saw Pang Tong, only to see that the man had thick eyebrows and a short black face, Han Xuan was stunned. When I met Pang Tong, he was a cute little boy who was only four or five years old.
You can't blame Han Xuan for judging people by their appearance, it's really Pang Tong who looks too ugly now, uglier than Wang Cang. Han Xuan compared Pang Tong when he was a child, and couldn't help but sigh that this Pang Tong really burned his appearance to grow his intelligence.
Han Xuan calmed down and said to Pang Tong: "Pang Tong, do you remember me?" ”
Han Xing was confused when he saw Han Xuan say this, and Pang Tong smiled slightly: "How dare Tong forget?" Chu Hou sponsored my parents to settle down in Xiangyang and recommended famous teachers for me. If it weren't for the Marquis of Chu, how could there be Pang Tong today! ”
Han Xuan said proudly: "Sima Hui said: 'Wolong, phoenix, you have to settle the world'." Liu Du has Kong Ming, I have Shiyuan, and I am invincible! ”
Pang Tong bowed his hand and said: "Chu Hou loves Pang Tong so much, he is terrified. Although I also want to compete with Kong Ming, the great enemy of Chu Hou today is not Liu Duye! ”
"Oh? How so? Han Xuan asked Pang Tong with a smile.
"Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven and occupied the Central Plains. Half of the world has been obtained, the Central Plains has a large number of people, a lot of money and food, and many talents. The Han dynasty is in decline, and Cao Cao is now called the Duke of Wei, which shows his self-reliance on behalf of the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao thought about the revenge of Chibi, and soon he would march south again, and Chu Hou should strike first. Today, the loyal Han people are deeply jealous of Cao Cao, and the Marquis of Chu should take advantage of this time to move north, stabilize the political situation, and slow down the Central Plains. Pang Tong calmly analyzed and said straight into Han Xuan's heart.
Han Xing ordered someone to bring the coffee table, and Han Xuan and Pang Tong chatted at length. Han Xuanyan took a sip of hot tea and asked, "Now that I have implemented a new policy in Jiangdong, there are many opposition from the scholars, and Liu Bei has long looked at my Jiangdong land. If I march north, I am afraid that the rear will be unstable. When this internal and external troubles are in place, what good strategies can Shiyuan have? ”
Pang Tong shook the Vermilion Bird Feather Fan, muttered for a while, and said: "Liu Duxin has gained Yizhou, and his power is very prosperous for a while, and he will definitely take Hanzhong as a barrier in Xichuan again." Cao Cao will not sit idly by and watch Liu Du continue to sit big, and will soon personally conquer Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and then recruit Liu Du. Chu Hou now only needs to wait for the opportunity to deal with the Shi clan and Liu Bei with peace of mind. When Cao Cao sent troops to Hanzhong, Jiangdong advanced by sea and land, taking Hefei on one side and Qingxu on the other. If these two places are down, then the Central Plains can be determined! ”
"Hahaha~ Shiyuan Gao! I'll just wait and see what happens, but I don't have a good plan to deal with the Shi clan, and I ask Shi Yuan to teach me ......"
“………”
Everything was as Pang Tong expected, and after learning that Liu Du had captured Xichuan, Cao Cao discussed the conquest of Zhang Lu. At this time, Xun You had also died of illness, and Cao Cao ordered Sima Yi and Yang Xiu to join the military.
Strategists such as Sima Yi and Yang Xiu were in favor of attacking Hanzhong, and when Cao Cao was preparing to send troops, Xu Du was in trouble. It turned out that Empress Fu and Fu Wan conspired to eradicate Cao Cao, and Cao Cao wanted to kill Dong Guiren after killing Dong Cheng that year. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty thought that Dong Guiren was pregnant, and repeatedly asked for exemption, but Cao Cao could not agree. Empress Fu saw this situation and was terrified from then on. So she wrote a letter to her father, telling about Cao Cao's cruel persecution, and asking her father to secretly map and eradicate Cao Cao. I didn't dare to do anything after I finished it.
Later, Fu Wan died, and Queen Fu had no support in the court. Now when Cao Cao went on the expedition, the conspiracy was revealed, Cao Cao was furious after the investigation, and forced Emperor Han Xian to abolish Queen Fu, and pretended to be a book and said: "The queen Fu Shou, from the humble and to the palace, to ascend the queen's throne, since the throne, to the present twenty-four years." There is no beauty of the Huiyin of the Queen Mother of Wen and the Queen Mother of Wu, and there is a lack of the blessing of prudent self-cultivation and self-cultivation, but he is jealous and harbors evil intentions, and he cannot worship the mandate of heaven and worship his ancestors. Today, the imperial historian Xi Xi was sent to hold the edict of Fu Jiece, confiscate the queen's seal, retreat to the middle palace, and move to the rest of the museum. Alas! Pathetic! Fu Shou took the blame for himself and was not tried, but fortunately! ”
Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was in the outer hall, and Xi Xi sat beside him. Empress Fu walked barefoot in her hair, crying and saying goodbye in front of Emperor Xian, "Can't you save each other?" ”
Liu Xie also cried and said: "I don't know how many days I have to live!" ”
Liu Xie looked back at Xi Yu and said, "Gong Xi! Is there such a thing in the world? ”
Cao Cao put Empress Fu in the tyrannical room of the court, died in seclusion, the two princes born to Empress Fu were also poisoned by poisonous wine, more than 100 people of the Fu clan were also executed, and 19 people including Fu Shou's mother were exiled to Zhuo County.
After Cao Cao settled the rear, he personally led an army of 100,000 to the west, divided into three teams: Zhu Ling and Zhang He, the pioneers of the front; Cao Cao led the generals in the center; Cao Hong and Xiahoudun in the rear escorted grain and grass.
There was already a detailed report to Hanzhong, Zhang Lu and his younger brother Zhang Wei discussed the strategy of retreating from the enemy. Zhang Wei said: "The most dangerous thing in Han is Yangping Pass. It can be around the pass, by the mountains and forests, under more than ten fences, to meet the enemy Cao soldiers. Brother is in Hanning, and he allocates more grain and grass to deal with it. ”
Zhang Lu followed Zhang Wei's suggestion and sent generals Yang Ang, Yang Ren and Zhang Wei to set off on the same day. The military horse arrived at Yangping Pass, and the village was decided. Zhu Ling and Zhang He's troops arrived later, and heard that Yangping Pass had been prepared, and they were fifteen miles away from the pass and went to the village.
That night, the sergeants were tired and sleepy, and they rested. Suddenly, the back of the village caught fire, and it turned out that Yang Ang and Yang Ren were killed by soldiers and horses to rob the village. Zhu Ling and Zhang He hurriedly horseed, and the Han soldiers swarmed in, Cao Bing was defeated, and the two retreated to see Cao Cao.
Cao Cao said angrily: "You and the two have been marching for many years, don't you know that 'if the soldiers are tired and tired, they can prevent robbery'? How not to prepare? ”
Cao Cao personally led the troops as the front team the next day, saw that the mountains here are treacherous, the forests are thick, I don't know the path, I am afraid that there are ambushes in front, so I lead the army back to the village, Cao Cao said to the generals: "Yangping Pass is so sinister, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack!" ”
The next day, Cao Cao got on the horse and only took Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Xu Huang to see Zhang Wei Zhaizha. Turning the hillside, I saw Zhang Weizhai Gate early. Cao Cao raised his whip and pointed at the enemy village and said: "It's so strong, it's hard to get down!" ”
