Chapter Eighty-Nine: Sorrow
Yan Zhiyun and the current Li King Yan Xun are brothers, that is, the uncle of Yan Zhu, the son of the Li King, who was almost beheaded in Xiema Town.
Because he is not a son-in-law, he did not inherit the title of King Li, but this person is also a little capable, and he has no ability to govern the country and secure the people or protect the family and defend the country, but his ability to flatter and flatter is indeed first-class.
The father of the current King Li and Emperor Yan Hui are brothers, the third son of Emperor Jing, although the two were born in the royal family, they are not as "most ruthless" as in the story, but the relationship between the two has been very good since childhood.
Because of the relationship between his parents, Yan Zhiyun has a lot of opportunities to contact with Emperor Yan Hui, the previous Emperor Yan Hui actually didn't treat this "very understanding" third child of the Li Wang family, but in his later years, he looked at Yan Zhiyun more and more pleasing to the eye, and Yan Zhiyun is also very good at seizing the opportunity, although he is not good at doing business, but to please the old man, in Yan Guo he said that he is the second, no one dares to call the first.
Later, logically, Emperor Yan Hui gave him an official, with fame, after the death of Emperor Hui, he chose to govern Emperor Yan Youxu with great vision, although he did not contribute much in the rebellion of Yan Youchu, but when sharing the fruits of victory, he still tasted the good taste of victory as he wished, which shows that the relationship between him and Emperor Yan Zhi is also very good.
In the year of Emperor Zhi's death, Yan Zhiyun was promoted to the governor of Dingzhou, and he had already achieved the ultimate in terms of magistrates, although he was not a prince of one side (because he was not in charge of the army), but he could also be regarded as a feudal official.
Because Dingzhou is located in a remote area, so few people can control him, he was honest in the year he just arrived, and just after the end of the second year, the governor of Dingzhou began his own road to the emperor, causing a lot of things, but he also had a heart, these things are for his own pleasure, for politically sensitive things, he didn't touch it, so Yanjing turned a blind eye, until later Yanhu's Sixth Army and the Second Army originally stationed in Dingzhou changed guards, With Yan Hu's suppression, this feudal official gradually reined in.
Therefore, Yan Zhiyun rejected this Liang Wang Yanhu who had been pressing on his head from the bottom of his heart, so even the generals under Yan Hu's command also picked their noses and eyes, which was not pleasing to the eye.
Originally, he was going to push it off this morning, but now that Hu Meng's army has already conquered Kou Xiema Town, Yanjing's side must attach great importance to the development of the situation in Dingzhou, and if he does not actively cooperate with Yan Hu's Sixth Army at this time, it will be a trivial matter to be scolded by Yan Hu in front of him at that time.
If he asks Yan Jing for another copy, it will be a big trouble, although the head on the neck will not be lost, but the black gauze hat on the head will definitely be gone.
I had no choice but to give up the warm fragrance of nephrite on the bed, grope my way up, and dress neatly under the service of the maid.
In addition to being the commander of the Sixth Army, he also serves as the protector of Dingzhou and Caizhou.
In fact, there is not much difference between the commander of the corps and the capital of a state, but the commander of the corps is more inclined to lead the troops into battle, while the commander of the capital is responsible for defense affairs.
This situation has not appeared since the founding of the Great Yan, but in the Spring and Autumn Period before the Great Yan, it was a very common thing, because at that time, there were many vassal states, and many countries were you fight me today, I will fight you tomorrow, and you will fight me with him the day after tomorrow, so the supreme commander of the legion is often in the situation of leading troops to fight abroad, and at this time, it happens that other countries come to attack, because the commander of the legion can't take care of it, so the supreme ruler of the country can only appoint another person to be responsible for defense affairs, This is also the origin of the official position of the protector.
Because Yan Hu has been in the palace all the year round, the current person in charge of the Dingzhou Metropolitan Protectorate is a military general named Ge Cheng'a, who is now a powerful general in the official residence, with the rank of general of the third grade, and has almost achieved the ultimate that a normal in-service soldier can do.
Further up is the rank of second-rank general, and when he reaches the rank of general, he is no longer just responsible for a separate military system, but is responsible for managing a legion, such as the current commander of the six legions of Yan State, except for Yan Hu and Jinran, they are all second-grade generals.
As for the rank of first-class general, it is generally awarded to those generals who have fought for the country all their lives, made great achievements and retired, or posthumously awarded to those senior generals who sacrificed on the battlefield, which is equivalent to a halo of glory.
As for Yan Hu and Jin Ran, one is the king of Liang who is a royal clan and is above tens of thousands of people under Da Yan alone, the other is Jun Qing who can be compared to the title of Da Yan, and the high and powerful Anping Jun, with the blessing of these two identities, they don't care about whether they want to add a second-rank general rank to their bodies.
As for the rank of first-class general, first, there is no need for that, and second, even if the imperial court wants to give it, they may not necessarily want it, because it is given to the dead in history, and it will feel unlucky in the concept of blessing the living.
Ge Cheng'a rode a horse early in the morning from the Metropolitan Protectorate in the east of the city to the Governor's Mansion in the west of the city, Hu Meng's army pressed the border, and the counties and counties in Dingzhou had actively done a good job of "clearing the wilderness" and the task of city defense under the orders from above, this time he came to discuss with Yan Zhiyun how to settle the last group of people who entered the city.
It stands to reason that this kind of civil matter does not need him to talk about it, but Yan Zhiyun, a guy who only wants to have fun and does not do practical things, has not taken this kind of thing to heart at all from beginning to end, and now the refugees gathered in the city have gradually had a tendency to riot because of the problem of food and housing, and it is impossible for him to use the trap army to do this kind of suppression, unless they really do the thing of killing officials and rebelling, otherwise if they use the trap army to suppress it, it will be the crime of slaughtering the people.
Therefore, the only thing that can be called now is the 3,000 patrol battalion under the control of the Governor's Office, and this needs to be signed by Yan Zhiyun and stamped with the transfer warrant of the Dingzhou Governor.
Along the way, Ge Cheng'a was thinking about how to persuade the other party, but in his mind, this kind of thing should not be much difficult, and now the Humeng army is still being dragged in Shema Town, but at most there is another month, even if Xiema Town is not breached, the offensive of Humeng's army on Dingzhou will definitely extend to the interior.
Because at that time, the Zimu River had begun to freeze, and the pressure on Hanyue Pass would increase suddenly, and with it, Hu Meng's all-out attack on Dingzhou would follow.
Therefore, before that, all unstable factors must be nipped in the bud in time.
"If it really can't be done, then we can only treat this group of people as rebels." Ge Cheng'an's burly figure, with skin tanned like black charcoal by the northwest sun, stood at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, like an iron tower standing there, clenched his fists and sighed helplessly, his rough face flashed a trace of unbearability that did not match his appearance, and then walked quickly towards the mansion.
After Yan Zhiyun came to report three times to the housekeeper, his figure finally appeared at the door of the main hall, at this time Ge Cheng'a in the hall had already drunk two pots of tea, and then he didn't know how many times he had gone back and forth in this hall.
When Yan Zhiyun appeared at the door, Ge Cheng'a had already discovered him, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, in Ge Cheng'a's heart, he didn't know how many times he had the urge to cut this guy off, and several times the thumb had pushed out the hilt, but in the end, after a sigh, all the impulses were suppressed.
For no other reason, just because he is a member of the royal family, although he does not have a royal lord, his bloodline, innate, brings him the privilege of avoiding death once.
Members of the royal family of Yan Kingdom, in addition to killing the monarch and rebelling, even if he makes a big mistake, the most he can do is to kick out of the clan and be reduced to a commoner, and after that, he will be treated the same as ordinary people.
So now Yan Zhiyun is carrying a gold medal for avoiding death, if Ge Cheng'a slashes him, then he will be buried with three generations of Ge clansmen, including Ge Cheng'a.
"Oh, I've been waiting for a long time, I'm really sorry, General Ge, I handled official business until the fourth watch last night, so I really can't get up in the morning, and I hope General Haihan." Yan Zhiyun, who was smiling, walked quickly into the hall.
"If you can handle official duties by then, then I guess the sun won't rise again today." You must know that Ge Cheng'a is the supreme commander in Liangcheng, how can the ears and eyes be half a point weaker? Every morning, what the officials in the city did the night before, everything that has been done for a long time, will be reported in detail in front of him, even when Yan Zhiyun and several Loulan women turned over the clouds and rain last night, how many times he galloped on everyone, and how much time he shared, he was clear.
Ge Cheng'a feels disgusted from the bottom of his heart, this guy is like this, he always has a kind and friendly expression in the face of everyone, and on the surface, he is in your heart with you, like a confidant in life and death, but in his heart he may be thinking about how to stab you in the back.
With such a move, when Ge Cheng'a came to Liangcheng to take up his post, he was not less calculated, but fortunately, he kept an eye on it at that time, and Liang Wangyan supported him behind his back, so at most he suffered some flesh and skin.
Now seeing Yan Zhiyun's face, Ge Cheng'a can no longer associate it with the word "kindness", so he only asks to finish what he wants to say in three or two clicks, and he is not willing to stay here for a while.
"Lord Yan, there are two things I want to discuss with my lord." Without any polite words, Ge Cheng'a went straight to the point, because he didn't want to say half a word more to the other party.
Yan Zhiyun seemed to have expected it, sat down leisurely, ate the snacks that the next person had already prepared, and muttered a "hmm".
