Ten years ago, nine and a half years ago to be precise, Gongsun Xun had a one-sided relationship with Han Sui.

At that time, Gongsun Xun was just a young man from a border county who had not yet been crowned and entered Luo to study, while the other party had already finished being a Lang official and was about to return to his hometown as an official. And now, Gongsun Xun is the general of Wei, the marquis of Ji, and the leader of Hanoi is the Taishou, but the other party is still engaged in a state, and the two sides are no longer at the same level.

This is not to say that the state is not good at this position, nor is it that Han Sui is incompetent. In fact, if a child of a border county has no chances, no outstanding political resources, and does not work hard, it is probably at this level. This point can refer to Gongsun Chan and Sun Jian, if the former is not stained with Gongsun Xun's light, with the assistance of his father-in-law, I am afraid it will be difficult to become a captain this time; And although the latter is also supported by nobles and willing to work hard, it is only a thousand stone other Sima after all. And if the world is so peaceful all the time, and there is no influence of Gongsun Xun in it, whether it is Gongsun Zhan, Han Sui, or Sun Jian, the three of them are estimated to be mixed up with two thousand stones at the age of forty, after all, it is not a loss to the family and parents, but after all, it can only be like this for a lifetime.

In other words, it's not that Han Sui is too low-grade, but that Gongsun Xun is too prominent.

Ten years of hard work, several struggles, plus the political resources of a family, two teachers, and a father-in-law, as well as an old lady who never let her son lack money to spend and taught a lot of things beyond the understanding of the times, these are all things that others can't exchange.

Of course, no matter what the internal reason is, the two will see each other again after nearly ten years, and people are not things, and there is always something to sigh about. Although Gongsun Xun was suspicious of the situation in Liangzhou because he had some suspicions, he did not show it after all, but just visited as an old friend, and then received him cordially and warmly.

I saw Gongsun Xun, the dignified general of Wanshiwei, despite the fact that Han Sui still had snow on his body and was still wearing clogs under his feet, so he happily stepped forward to help the other party in the gate of the official temple, and greeted him with his arms, and greeted him endlessly; Then, he instructed Sima Lang to call people, so that the officials in the official temple, from the county officials to the members of the shogunate of the guard, came out to greet them; In the end, Gongsun Xun actually welcomed Han Sui and the two entourages into the back hall and sat down, and personally brought Lu Fan, Lou Gui, and Xi Zhong three henchmen to entertain them carefully...... The end is enough to give face.

"It's cold, sit down and rest for a while." Gongsun Xun saw that the maid served hot ginger soup, and the three people on the opposite side mostly eased up, but still didn't mention the matter, but pointed to the two people who were obviously just Han Sui's entourage and continued to talk nonsense on the scene. "These two came together in the snow with the text, one is older and one is younger, both of them are extraordinary, they must be Liangzhou heroes...... Dare to ask the origin of the two names? ”

"These two are colleagues in the state, and they came to Los Angeles with me on business." Han Sui was helpless, so he could only reluctantly press his heart, and got up to make a formal introduction. "This older one, surnamed Chenggong, has a British name, and his words are really honorable; This young man who has not yet been crowned is a son of the Pang clan in Nan'an, and he is training in the state...... Call Pound. ”

Gongsun Xun bowed slightly, but he was stunned for a moment: "Liangzhou Nan'an Pound? ”

"Not bad."

Han Sui responded casually and sat down again, and Pang De and Cheng Gongying hurriedly got up and worshipped...... These two people are just so-called middle- and lower-level state officials, where do they dare to be rude in front of Gongsun Xun?

And Gongsun Xun saw that Pang De, who had been certified by Han Sui, was in front of him, but he didn't care that the other party was just an uncrowned young governor, and he only thought that the opportunity was rare, but he couldn't help but have a collector's habit!

I saw that he simply got up and helped the two of them up personally, and then asked Zhengse: "The two of them are really heroes in Xizhou, and I have always admired heroes, I wonder if the two of them are willing to succumb to me?" There are still a lot of vacancies in the royal family of my shogunate general......"

Pound and Cheng Gongying couldn't help but look at each other, how did they think that they would recruit each other when they met for the first time? However, unexpectedly, it was obviously more promising to transfer to General Wei's royal family, but the two of them actually shook their heads gloomily.

"I see." Gongsun Xun was originally because the word Pound was too dazzling, and then he couldn't help but try it casually, but if it didn't work, it wouldn't work, so he immediately changed his face and smiled. "Both of you are loyal and righteous people, and you want to come to your state to have a lot of prestige, so you don't want to give up ......"

Before he finished speaking, Han Sui, who was sitting on the left-hand seat, suddenly sneered: "General Wei is wrong, where did our Uncle Fang get his prestige?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Pang De and Cheng Gongying, who were standing in the hall and saluting, also had complicated faces, as if they also had opinions about their own top boss and the history of Liangzhou's assassination...... And Gongsun Xun finally couldn't help but exchange glances with a few henchmen sitting on his right hand.

There's no way, Liangzhou has always been a trouble basket, this is a well-known thing in the world.

"Does General Wei know what I'm doing in Luozhong this time?" Han Sui finally seized the initiative on the topic.

"I want to hear about it." Gongsun Xun raised his hand slightly, and Cheng Gongying and Pang De retreated to the seat.

"Our Liangzhou mighty Feng Taishou is the younger brother of Feng Fang, the son-in-law of the former eunuch Cao Jie, who relied on someone in the court to make a fortune in Wuwei, and then engaged in the state in the martial capital Su Zhenghe investigated it in the name of the state...... As a result, everyone was sent to the state, but our Uncle Fang didn't dare to take over, but instead wanted to kill Su Zhenghe and make amends to that Feng Taishou! Han Sui said angrily. General Wei, you say, is there anyone in the world who does this? ”

Hearing this explanation, whether it was Gongsun Xun or not, on the right hand side, from Lu Fan and Lu Ziheng, who had only come out when they greeted each other before, to Xi Zhong and Xi Zhicai, all of them were powerless to complain.

The reason is simple.

First of all, you have a history of assassination in a state, and in the case that your subordinates have already made the case an iron case (they have already been killed), no matter what, not to mention whether you will succeed or not, you should not admit it at this time, let alone kill your subordinates to make amends.

Even if this Su Zhi is against your will, you can find an excuse to kill him later, at this time, kill your subordinates to make amends, and the whole state will be detached! It's no wonder that from Han Sui down to Pound, who has not yet been crowned, all of them have a clear attitude.

As for the second...... That's this Feng Taishou, although he hasn't met, but Gongsun Xun knows what Feng Zhi's father is called when he gave birth to a son, and who is her uncle? However, this is not easy to say, anyway, Gongsun Xun doesn't care about the life or death of Na Feng.

"I remember that Liangzhou Thorn Shi is Liang Hu, right?" Gongsun Xun was the first to adjust and said. "Are they so unbearable? How is it disposed of in the end? ”

"In the end, Gai Xun Gai Yuangu, another person in our state, came forward to dissuade Liang Jianshi, telling him that if he killed Su Zhi, it would be tantamount to making the world laugh." Han Sui continued to sneer. "But our Liang Gong didn't dare to continue to do it, and actually took the initiative to hang the seal and go, and the people in our state were helpless, thinking that I had traveled to Luoyang before, so I asked me to go to Luozhong to deliver the official document and report the matter to the center in detail......"

"Who's the New Thorn?" Xi Zhong couldn't help but be curious.

"His name is Zuo Chang." Han Sui's face became more and more gloomy. "I waited to inquire in Luozhong, only to know that he was originally from Taichung, but he was attached to the eunuchs, and he was greedy for money, I heard that ...... This time the prince was imprisoned, and he made great efforts to be rewarded with such a position by the eunuch. ”

Gongsun Xun really didn't know what to say.

"General Wei!" Han Sui suddenly asked again. "Do you know this time why Cheng Gong Shirong and Pang De are reluctant to stay here regardless of their future?"

Gongsun Xun laughed, but bowed slightly: "I think I am worried about the instability of the situation in Liangzhou, you are all clansmen and villagers over there......"

"It's already unstable!" Han Sui suddenly interrupted the other party's words. "Before Feng Taishou and Liang Jianshi, Liangzhou was exhausted...... In addition, the imperial court pacified the Yellow Turbans, recruited troops and recruited horses, and in October, the bandits in Jincheng Huangzhong and Longxi Heguan had gathered into a large group. And according to the experience of the past, I am afraid that if the three of us go back, the bandits there will naturally start to kill officials and take the city. ”

Gongsun Xun became more and more cautious, and didn't want to talk about it, but he had no choice but to deal with it: "Actually, most of the things in the world are like this, how many people really want to oppose Han and stand on their own?" It's nothing more than being forced by the calculation of Fu first, and having no choice but to become a bandit, and then the bandit gets bigger and bigger, and he can't help himself...... Wasn't that how Jiaozhou came to be before? was easily pacified by Jia Gong with gentle means. ”

"That's the problem." Han Sui's voice became more and more excited. "We also wanted to go to a good official like Jia Gong in Jiaozhou, but we were forced by the eunuch to stuff such a person! And Wen Qi, don't you forget what we said on the carriage in Luozhong ten years ago...... Is Liangzhou the same thing as Jiaozhou? ”

Finally, I didn't dodge!

Gongsun Xun shook his head helplessly, but he couldn't help but get upright: "Since Brother Wen Yue called me, I can't help but put my heart into it...... Don't be so biased that you go astray! ”

"Wen Qi thinks I'm trying to persuade you to rebel?" Han Sui suddenly made a joke, causing everyone in the hall to change color.

However, Gongsun Xun still looked calm: "Brother Wenyue, ten years ago, you were extremely resentful and helpless about the situation in Liangzhou, how could I not worry about you?" ”

"Does Wen Qi also know that it was ten years ago?" Han Sui became more and more playful. "Ten years ago, today's General Wei was still a white-haired young man, and after ten years of tempering, do you think that my Han Sui today is still the ignorant person of that day?"

"And what is the truth of today's Korean covenant?" Gongsun Xun is still upright.

"It's better not to mess up, or not to mess up." When this question was asked, Han Suiden was discouraged, and could only reply with a wry smile. "I have seen clearly in the past ten years, although everyone in Liangzhou does not hide from the center, but if it really comes to an end, I am afraid that there are still many loyal ministers...... At that time, it will inevitably be the people of Liangzhou who will kill the people of Liangzhou. ”

"And what do you want?" The other party didn't come to fool himself into rebelling or asking for asylum, but Gongsun Xun became more and more serious, because he knew very well that this meant that the other party still had a clearer purpose.

"Did Wen Qi see the name of the Great General's Mansion that I sent?" Han Sui suddenly asked.

"It's nature."

"When I was in Luozhong, just as Wen Qi wanted to recruit Cheng Gong Shirong and Pang De just now, the general also wanted to recruit me, do you know how I answered?"

"I guess I refused."

"No, I asked him at the time, can the general punish the eunuch?" Han Sui calmly recounted.

And Gongsun Xun couldn't help but be stunned, that is, Lu Fan, Lou Gui, and Xi Zhong in the audience were also stunned, and Sima Lang, who was standing motionless behind his Taishou side, was actually a little flustered - Gongsun Xun could clearly hear his chaotic breathing.

"And how did the general answer?" Gongsun Xun sneered in his heart, and his face was expressionless.

The general did not answer. Han Sui spread his hands. "So I went straight out of Luo with Chenggong Shirong and Pound...... When I walked to the edge of the Yellow River, I saw that the Yellow River was frozen, so I moved my heart and stepped on the ice to visit Wenqi. ”

"And then?" Gongsun Xun became more and more impatient. "The general didn't answer, why did Brother Wen Yue think I would answer?"

"Because I think Wen Qi can understand my mind." Han Sui was gloomy again. "Wen Qi, I know that to you, this is ridiculous, and it even drives you to take advantage of the fire of the world...... But this time I really have no choice, thinking about it, there is only one way to punish the eunuch! ”

"I want to hear about it."

"Ten years ago, I told Wen Qi that the Luoyang scholars don't take our Liangzhou seriously, and they are the ones who really mess with the world."

"The words are still in my ears."

"That's how I see it today." Han Sui said slowly. "But after ten years as an official, I also understand a truth, that is, if the world wants to be stable, it is still inseparable from them, and it is still necessary to rely on them, at least if Liangzhou wants to be stable, it still depends on them...... The reason is very simple, Liangzhou can't leave the center after all, and the center can't give up Liangzhou, and here in the center, these scholars are always three points stronger than those eunuchs anyway, right?! After all, the former still has three points to be talented and virtuous, and the latter has nine points to be forcible and robbed! ”

Gongsun Xun bowed slightly, but he already understood the logic of the other party in his heart.

"Wen Qi, the problem now is that the scholars and eunuchs are no longer incompatible, I don't mean that those scholars are in power, and I don't believe it! But if they can't get rid of the eunuchs, they will fight endlessly, and they won't even do the slightest bit of business! At that time, we will only have a dead end in Liangzhou! At this point, Han Sui's eyes almost turned red. The place is so difficult that the DPRK and China only care about fighting for power and profit, and regard our border counties as nothing...... And after thinking about it, the only way to break the situation is to help one of them to fight for power and win a big victory...... Wen Qi, this is the sad thing about our Liangzhou scholars, and it is also the reason why I know that it is unlikely that the general and you will be punished at this time, and I will plead with you...... Wenqi, please save us. ”

After that, Han Sui got up and came to the hall, bowed down to Gongsun Xun and bowed to each other, and Pang De and Cheng Gongying, who had been silent, also got up again and followed Han Sui to bow in front.

There was silence in the hall for a while, even Lu Fan and the others just looked at each other, and then shook their heads slightly at Gongsun Xun.

Gongsun Xun picked up the ginger soup that had gradually cooled down and took a sip, before he asked softly, "Will Liangzhou be chaotic?" ”

Han Sui raised his head and asked rhetorically: "In February, the Yellow Turban rebelled against Qizhou, and then in June, Jiaozhou and Yizhou also rebelled, dare to ask Wen Qi, why didn't Liangzhou, which is the poorest and most miserable and the most discriminated against?" ”

Gongsun Xun laughed, and then put down the ginger soup in his hand: "What Brother Wen Yue said is extremely ...... Why doesn't Liangzhou rebel? But Brother Wenyue, the general can't punish the eunuch in the court, how can I punish the eunuch in Hanoi? ”

"It's possible!" Han Sui gritted his teeth and said. "I heard that the Hanoi knights were originally the old department of Wenqi, so they can easily get tens of thousands of horses when they gather in the winter farming slack, and then take advantage of the Yellow River to freeze, so they can't lead the crowd straight into Luoyang......"

"No!" At this moment, Sima Lang, who had not yet been crowned, suddenly couldn't help but interject loudly from behind. "Bringing troops into Los Angeles without an edict is for the rebels! How can the Son of Heaven tolerate the prince? ”

Gongsun Xun didn't say a word, just stared at Han Sui.

Han Sui continued to grit his teeth and said: "Wen Qi is General Wei, and he originally intended to support the government, why can't he join forces with the general to help the prince to ascend the throne and recruit the world's corporal as a helper?" We must also echo Wenqi locally. ”

Gongsun Xun raised his head and thought about it, and before he could speak, Sima Lang behind him was already pale: "Isn't this an unauthorized abolition?" Is this what a courtier should say? There is nothing wrong with the Son of Heaven! ”

Han Sui didn't pay attention to this little official with tied hair, but just raised his head and stared at Gongsun Xun.

"There is nothing wrong with the Son of Heaven!" Gongsun Xun immediately sighed. "Brother Wen Yue's words today, I should have not heard it, and I will live in peace......"

"In this case, we won't delay Wen Qi." Han Sui was disappointed, and Pang De and Cheng Gongying also got up regretfully. "I'm in a hurry to get back to Liangzhou, I don't know what will happen when I'm late......"

Gongsun Xun bowed his head again: "Let me send it off!" ”

As he spoke, he actually got up directly, urging with obvious intentions, as if he didn't hesitate at all.

Han Sui became more and more disappointed, but he could only turn around helplessly.

Gongsun Xun led Lu Fan, Lou Gui and others to the door, and naturally someone brought a few good horses, along with a lot of things used on the journey.

Han Sui sighed for a while when he saw this, but he could only say goodbye in front of the official temple, and took Cheng Gongying and Pang De to say goodbye...... The so-called come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

"That's ridiculous!" As soon as the person left, Lou Gui couldn't help but be angry. "Empty words, do you want the prince to take the fire for it? Even Sima Lang's kid knows what it will be like to lead troops into Luo! ”

"Actually, there is some sincerity." Xi Zhicai couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. At least the previous paragraph is really true...... On the one hand, the world is shaking, and on the other hand, it is said that the struggle between the sergeants and eunuchs is becoming more and more intense, and at this time, there is no other solution except for the eunuchs! ”

Gongsun Xun stood in front of the official temple with his hands in his hands, looking at the gradually whitening street, but slowly bowed his head: "I believe his last words, ten years of tempering, he has changed his mind, and knows that this Liangzhou can't leave the center to exist alone, but he can't help ......himself."

"Half and half!" Lu Fan said in a deep voice. "There is not only the selfishness of wanting to use the hands of the prince to become his own power, but also the helplessness...... Not contradictory. ”

Everyone bowed their heads.

"But if that's the case......" Just as everyone was about to turn back, Sima Lang couldn't help but ask again. Is there no solution to the problems in the world? Isn't this just a rebellion, and the world is just about to be peaceful? ”

"Definitely!" Gongsun Xun shook his head and smiled. "There is one person who can understand, but just look at his words and deeds, and others may not be willing."

Sima Lang became more and more at a loss: "You can't solve the general and the county monarch, how can anyone still solve it?" And, if you can solve it, why not?! ”

Gongsun Xun flicked his sleeves and entered directly with his head held high.

————— I actually have a dividing line for the solution—————

Then the Yellow River froze, and said that Taizu led the Hanoi soldiers into Luozhu, and Taizu reprimanded him. will be returned to Liangzhou, and Taizu will chase it and send it back. Han Sui Nai said to Taizu: "The world is repeatedly unknown, although it is a small violation today, we must be a great harmony, and we want to say a word." "It's a horse that crosses arms, and laughs for a long time." ——
