In the first year of the early Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil.

At the beginning of the year, nearly 40 princes of the road begged for Dong, especially the Kwantung coalition army, which had more than 100,000 troops, came up and attacked Luoyang on three sides of Hanoi, Chenliu and Nanyang, so that the people of the world once thought that the chaos was just around the corner.

However, Dong Zhuo should kill people and kill people, and he should move the capital and move the capital, and at the same time as killing people and moving the capital, he blossomed on three sides, and all the princes of Kwantung were hung up and beaten...... Wang Kuang and Sun Jian, one south and one north, were all annihilated; Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao fled in embarrassment, followed by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who had to start all over again; It was Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, who was also beaten for a time, how to talk about others?

As a result, with the completion of the relocation of the capital, seeing that there was no hope of courting Dong, in the summer, the internal discord within the Kwantung Coalition Army began, and even the Xuyang Alliance began to fall apart.

The first to do it was Nanyang's Yuan Shu.

This guy saw that there was no hope of currying Dong Dong, although his mind moved later than his brother, but he acted quickly.

It is said that after Yuan Highway cut off Sun Jian's military rations that day, he forced Sun Wentai to come to Luyang to find him to be loyal to him...... And on the one hand, he agreed to come down, and killed the close servants to have the heart of An Sun Jian; On the other hand, he took the initiative to attack, went west to accept Li Dao's retreat to the territory of Hongnong, went south to ask Liu Biao how to be, went east to ask Chen Wang Liu Pet how to be, and went to the southeast, and even stretched out his hand to Yangzhou.

Not to mention how Liu Biao in the south played dead, and how Chen Wang and Liu Chong were angry, but you don't have to say that the expansion to the west and southeast is very effective...... Because of these places, those who are too guarded and the prime minister of the country are really too pitiful, and they are often honestly admitted by him as soon as they are frightened, and they send food and ordnance.

So for a while, Yuan Highway's power rose sharply, just looking at the so-called territory, it seems that half of the south is his! Even his people once openly set up a wine meeting in Nanyang, saying that 'Gongsun Xun is in the north, for the master of the north, I am in the south, for the master of the south, and the south is rich and the north is poor, and it is okay to attack the north with the south'?

In short, it's a similar crazy talk...... Of course, Yuan Highway's surname is Yuan, although it is crazy, so it still scares many people.

Then there is Xuzhou.

In other words, although Xuzhou is rich, it is only divided into five counties, which makes the local area have always had a political tradition of confrontation between strong Taishou and Thorn History, and Tao Qian, an old man, has a particularly strong personality, so soon Xuzhou had a confrontational situation. Specifically, it is the two counties in the north, Xue Li, the minister of Pengcheng and Yinde, the minister of Langya, who joined forces against Tao Qian, on the grounds that Tao Qian took advantage of the defeat of Zhang Chao, the Taishou of Guangling, and forcibly annexed Guangling in the name of assassinating history.

You must know that Yin De was born in a famous family, Xue Li was strong, and the two counties were in the north, and the east and west sandwiched the long and narrow terrain of Xuzhou County to govern the East China Sea, so everyone thought that this was a difficult situation to clean up.

However, it turns out that Tao Qian, a bad old man who grew up savagely, was born to be more adaptable to the troubled times, just when Yin and Xue were jumping up and down, Tao Qian just sent a messenger to the north, and directly found the Taishan bandit Zang Xuangao north of Langya, and said that he was just a cavalry captain. Of course, since he has become a cavalry lieutenant directly under Xuzhou, then he Zang Xuangao should be ordered to 'station' in Langya to prevent the millions of Qingyan Yellow Turbans from Taishan going south to Xuzhou for chaos.

It is true that Zang Ba is a bandit, but he is well-known in the world, and his ancestors are also a powerful family who are low-level officials, and he wants to wash his name eight years as early as his life...... Now that Tao Qian has given him an official position and land, why doesn't he help?

So, overnight, Zang Xuangao went south from Mount Tai, led the army to break into Langya, and Tao Qian led his Danyang soldiers from the East China Sea to the north.

As for Yin De, Tao Qian was ready to slaughter the other party, but fortunately, Zang Ba was reasonable, pleaded with him, and let this guy continue to be an empty head in the county temple.

And when Tao Qian killed three birds with one stone, he not only leveled Langya, but also got the strong army of Zang Ba, and also completed the defense construction of the Taishan area in the north, and turned around to lead the troops to settle accounts with Xue Li, but he didn't think that Xue Guoxiang fled directly to the state border in the southeast with 3,000 soldiers a few days earlier.

It is said that in the middle of summer, his people escaped from Xuzhou all the way to the south, first through the Peiguo to which Yuzhou belongs, and then crossed the Huai River to Yangzhou, and finally ran until the Yangtze River stopped fleeing. When he arrived here, his people again led thousands of soldiers to fight guerrillas at the junction of Yangzhou and Guangling County in Xuzhou, like bandits!

In fact, if you think about it carefully, after this chaos, in addition to Tao Qian's coercion of the entire Xuzhou, it is nothing more than Xue Li and Zang Ba changing their identities...... It can only be said that in the troubled times, Xuzhou has been quiet for many years.

Of course, unlike Tao Qian, an old man's small fight in Xuzhou, the world's model Yuan Benchu's movements in Yanzhou are earth-shattering.

Since he was determined to fight with Gongsun Xun, he suddenly launched, first forcibly annexed Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's troops in the name of defeat under the Tiger Prison Pass (this was the fuse of the chaos in Xuzhou), and then led the army to force the remaining three princes of Yanzhou, that is, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, and the Taishou Qiaomao of Dongjun, to attack Mount Tai million yellow turbans together...... In the name of saving Qingzhou.

And the ridiculous time, the million Taishan Yellow Turbans faced the 100,000 Kwantung Coalition Army that already had some war experience, and in a hurry, they could only be divided into two, crossing the Yellow River on the one hand and trying to go to the plain, and on the other hand, they went directly east to the hinterland of Qingzhou...... In short, the six counties of Qingzhou were in chaos because of this.

That said, the ripple effect of this move is huge!

First, Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao was executed in public by Yuan Shao in the name of unfavorable war and indulging the thief army into Qingzhou, and Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, because he had a personal vendetta with Qiaomao, instead of defending the Taishou of a county in his own state, he persecuted him, so he almost immediately lost the hearts of the Yanzhou people...... By this point, Yuan Shao, who had a strong army, had almost effectively annexed the rich and populous Yanzhou.

Second, Zang Ba was introduced into Langya by Tao Qian at this time to defend against the Taishan Yellow Turban.

Third, Qingzhou had just died before, and among the six counties in the local area, except for a Beihai minister Kong Rong who had some prestige and seemed to be able to win people's hearts, there were no strongmen in the rest, in fact, even Kong Rong was quickly exposed in military form...... In desperation, the counties and states of Qingzhou went their own way, and they could only ask for help from the surrounding strong armies.

So, next, Yuan Benchu released the troops in the area he had controlled to return to his hometown for the autumn harvest, and then personally supervised the 60,000 troops of the rest of the princes (Han Fu, Liu Dai, Bao Xin), entered Jinan, and quickly swept away nearly 300,000 second yellow turbans that had lost their base areas, and obtained a large number of people and soldiers.

At the same time, Gongsun Zhan, who won the seal ribbon and was named the Taishou of the Bohai Sea by Yuan Shaobiao, also led his troops south, and broke the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army in the plain with 20,000 horsemen, and swallowed the plain, the largest county in Qingzhou, with a population of one million...... His person was in the limelight in Hebei for a while, and there were even rumors that Gongsun Chan had the tacit consent of his younger brother Gongsun Xun to go south and annex the remaining five counties of Qingzhou, and Gongsun Xun would soon return to the division to personally eat the remaining four counties led by Han Fu of Jizhou!

At that time, the Gongsun clan will naturally take Hebei.

Of course, it was also at this time that the news that General Wei Gongsun Xun was begging Dong Gongcheng and annexing Sanfu suddenly came...... While the hearts of the people in the world were shaken, it also broke a rumor.

At the very least, Han Fu doesn't have to worry about Gongsun Xun coming over and eating himself in a short time.

However, not to mention how Gongsun Xun dominates the situation and adds power to the sea...... The problem now is that the situation has reached this point, can Gongsun Zhan, who has only two counties, but has a population of two million, and whose strength is comparable to that of an entire state in Youzhou, stop? Or can Yuan Shao, who has used the serial plan to a wonderful time, stop? Or do you think that Yuan Highway, who is the best in the world, can stop?

It's Tao Qian, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Han Fu, if you ask them to hand over their territory and obey the will sent from the Yang Palace, will they listen?

Don't say that they don't listen, even if some of these people really want to get out, but those who follow them and then gain local political power because of the collapse of the center, I'm afraid they won't let them listen.

The trend of secession in the world, from the appearance to the inside, has been completely irreversibly formed!

And General Wei, who claimed to whip the world in front of Weiyang Palace, wanted to really Weijiahai, so he could only take out a knife and reason with these people one by one. And everyone understands that Gongsun Xun's close-fitting knife handle has been fighting hard for a year, piercing thousands of miles, and it is too badly worn out to reason with them in a short period of time.

Moreover, there is a mess in Guanzhong, and it is not easy to settle down.

So, after a slight setback among the princes of the world, they bowed their heads one after another and went on their own, and some people even accelerated the pace for this purpose, preparing to take advantage of Gongsun Xun's gap in Shaanxi to seize enough strategic advantages.

"Now that we've received it, there shouldn't be a problem with the troops' rewards, right?" In mid-July, only three days before Weiyang Palace, in Chang'an City, the original Taishi's mansion, the current General Wei's mansion, and above the spacious lobby, Gongsun Xun had already begun to discuss some inevitable issues with some people. "What about logistics?"

"No problem." Wang Xiu, who was standing in the hall, immediately responded. "According to the seizure of Yiwu handed over by Zhicai, as well as the original inventory of the government treasury of Sanfu, these are all more than enough. Especially the gold and silver jewelry over there in Yiwu, the numbers are simply incredible...... But in addition to this, there is one thing that I need to talk about with the prince. ”

"Tell me." Gongsun Xun looked at the mountain of copywriting in front of him, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Before, inside and outside the palace in Luoyang City, as well as inside and outside the royal mausoleum, there were bronze people and copper horses, which were also transported to Chang'an, and they have been melted into ingots, and after we took over Duling's workshop, we found that some of them had been made into copper coins......

"What's this?" Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the chair of the captain behind the case, was inexplicable. "The matter has come to this, do you want to recast it into a bronze man and pull it to Luoyang to stand up? It's better to mint money. ”

"Prince, please see." Wang Xiu sighed, but grabbed a handful of money from a pocket in his sleeve, and then put it on the Gongsun Xun case in person.

Gongsun Xun only glanced at the bento and was speechless, and then waved his hand and ordered, asking Zhang Ji, Jia Kui and others around him to distribute the money to the other important ministers waiting in the hall to see...... It turned out that this coin was small and empty, deflated and light, and there was not even a printed handwriting on the edge.

And sure enough, everyone in the audience was also speechless, and then immediately admonished to stop minting this money.

"It's not a matter of stopping casting." Gongsun Xun was brought up by his own mother, and he was nurtured in the Amway, and he still knew a little bit about the financial order, so he immediately shook his head. "Even the money that has been minted must be replaced with an old mold and immediately re-cast...... Can you use it? ”

"There are some, but not many." Wang Xiu replied helplessly. "Mainly some generals of the Kansai Army, who used to buy ...... in Chang'an City by force"

"This matter cannot be left alone." Gongsun Xun was really helpless, and he wanted Wang Shuzhi to do it, but he was worried that the other party was too tired, so he could only come alone. Zhang Ji...... You are a member of the Sanfu, and you are in the local government's mansion, so you will do this, and you will be a sergeant with you, first go to supervise the sale of the small money, and then take the newly minted enough money to the city to recover as much as possible. ”

Zhang Derong immediately responded, and then went out as ordered, while Wang Xiumu sent the other party out, but he still stood in the hall without moving.

"Shuzhi, if you have something to say, just say it." Seeing this, Gongsun Xun smiled helplessly. "Great work......"

"Prince." Wang Xiu bowed and replied seriously. "It's not just me who works hard...... The soldiers, especially the elite soldiers drawn from the counties of Youzhou, are also very hard. As far as I know, they are not worried that the princes will lose their rewards, nor are they worried that the meritorious people will not be promoted, but they are very homesick, so these days, from the soldiers to the auxiliaries, I am often asked, when will I be able to go home? ”

Gongsun Xun immediately became serious, and everyone in the audience also became serious, because this issue involved the overall strategy of Gongsun Xun and his military and political group, and it was extremely sensitive.

The troops have been fighting hard for a year, and they are extremely tired, and it is difficult to penetrate the so-called strong crossbow, so it is reasonable to allow them to return to their hometowns and rest in the countryside...... Otherwise, not to mention the turmoil in the army's morale, if they are forced to stay here, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be greatly reduced.

Do you really think that tens of thousands of armies are puppets?

It was a living person, a living person with parents, friends, and thinking...... They sold their lives for General Wei for a whole year, homesick, wife, and those who don't have wives want to take the reward back to ask for a local wife! Shouldn't it?

Even to the extreme, this group of young people who are generally not used to eating Kansai millet are probably still thinking about the noodles and steamed buns in their hometown!

That's right, the young soldiers preferred to eat the noodles that grew popular in Youzhou during their formative years...... Gongsun Xun discussed Dong halfway, and when he was resting in Taiyuan, he specially let people grind a lot of faces.

Moreover, it is precisely such ridiculous things as flour that allow this army to be able to take one as ten in the Sorghum Pavilion, regardless of life and death in Pujin...... If they are not allowed to go home, this unit will really lose its combat effectiveness.

"It is said that Xiang Yu and his troops are 'crowned by the Chu people'." Gongsun Xun was silent for a long time, and could only touch the saber in his waist with a wry smile. "However, judging from today, after the cauldron is broken, how can Xiang Yu go against the homesickness of the children of Jiangdong?"

"General!" Tian Feng hurriedly stood up solemnly. "You can't give up in Guanzhong! There is no such thing as a single thought! The hardest times are over, and don't be shaken by these things. ”

"I know." Gongsun Xun bowed slightly. "For the sake of the present...... On the one hand, it is necessary to increase the rewards, and tell the soldiers from Youzhou that they must be allowed to go home for the New Year before the year to appease people's hearts; On the other hand, we must hurry up the preparation of the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, from the local garrison to the establishment of a field elite like our Youzhou army. ”

"That's so." Lou Gui also got up and mentioned the matter. "Hongnong's side can't delay any longer, the prince is really unwilling to pardon Li Dao and Hu Zhen, so he can only quickly take advantage of the situation to use troops! Otherwise, how could Yigong, Suqing, and Bojin reorganize the Kansai troops on a large scale? ”

"That's right." Gongsun Xun shook his head again and again, but instinctively looked at Jia Xu, who had been silent. "I made it very clear in Hedong...... I don't care about those who stand up for themselves because of the times, but I can't forgive those who occupy positions but can only mutilate their people! Li Wei killed the good and risked the merits, and Hu Zhen regarded the people in the jurisdiction as pigs and sheep, and he must not be pardoned! Gotta die! ”

"Back to the prince, if you are worried about losing troops in vain, you can let Duan Xuan and Li Meng do it." Jia Xu waited for Gongsun Xun to finish speaking, then got up and saluted, and said something without hurrying. "But specifically, it varies from person to person, Duan Xuan has a good name and asks for peace, and he can commend his mother who stayed in Chang'an for his merit in appeasing the people in Chang'an; Li Meng is just a martial artist, afraid of strength and weak-hearted, he can directly send an envoy to reprimand him for not surrendering early. Then the general asked the two to send troops together, and first took the weakest Hu Zhen who was among the two...... Hu Zhen is dead, Li Dao is blocked between Wuguan and Yiyang, and then let people surrender and divide his subordinate soldiers and horses, and tell them that what the prince wants is the heads of Li Dao and some of the officers, and the heavy disposal is those Qiang people and his own soldiers and horses, and the rest of the ordinary soldiers from Liangzhou and Sanfu will not kill indiscriminately, and when the time comes, they will definitely present Li Dao's head by themselves! And at that time, taking advantage of the presentation of Li Dao and Hu Zhen's heads, plus the submission of Duan Xuan and Li Meng, it will be easier to reorganize the Guanzhong troops! ”

"What a serial plan." Gongsun Xun listened with joy and sincerity. In this case, Xin Wenhe personally returned to Tongguan and had full authority to deal with the matter...... You are originally from Liangzhou, and they believe in you more. ”

"It's as good as it gets." Jia Xu replied, and then sat back calmly under the strange gaze of the rest of the people.

"Anything else?" After Gongsun Xun said these things, he became more and more tired, in fact, the sky was already very dark at this time, and Jia Kui and the others had already signaled the servants to come in and light the lamp and refuel.

"I have something to report to General Wei!" Zhong Xuan, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, who was sitting on the edge of the door, suddenly got up.

"Come on."

"Yuan Shao is sparse, and Cao Cao is the assassin of Yuzhou." Zhong Miao hurriedly spoke. "Counting the original Yuzhou Thorn History Kong Ling, and Yuan Shu's Yuzhou Thorn History Sun Jian, there are already three Yuzhou Thorn Histories in the world......

"This is Yuan Benchu who wanted to swallow Yanzhou whole, so he used Cao Mengde as a barrier behind him." Gongsun Xun sighed. "But Yuan Chang, you have also seen that Sanfu has a lot of problems, and my troops will not be able to be dispatched for a while and a half, even if you want to interfere in the situation in the Kanto region, you will have to wait until the last year and a half...... Moreover, when the time comes, Hebei can only be the first. ”

"My subordinates know." Zhong Xuan immediately bowed his head, and hurriedly said again against the beads of sweat on his forehead. "But I have a plan...... Perhaps Yuzhou can be separated, so that Er Yuan, and even Tao Qian of Xuzhou, will turn against each other, at least so that they will not be able to form an alliance against the prince. ”

There was no one in the hall for a while, and Gongsun Xun also stroked his palm under the case to think, but Xun You, who had not been silent, carefully glanced at his best friend, and then continued to sit silently in place.

"Come on." Gongsun Xun saw that the beads of sweat on the other party's forehead were getting more and more, and he still gave the other party a chance.

"I heard that Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei fought against Dong's soldiers before, and met for ......life and death in Qishi Mountain," Zhong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said.

"I know that." Gongsun Xun immediately bowed his head. "Before in front of Hewu, my mother had a special letter in Hedong, and told me about it, and asked me if there were peach blossoms in Xishi Mountain, and I said that the peach blossoms must be thanked at that time, but there were some miscellaneous mountain flowers...... You continue. ”

Although everyone didn't understand why this kind of worthless news would attract the attention of Aunt Gongsun and reach the ears of General Wei, they also quickly recovered their clarity at this time and continued to prick up their ears to listen to Zhong Xuan's strategy.

"Prince." Zhong Xuan continued to speak seriously. "Cao Mengde is Yuan Benchu's haircut, plus his official position and general's number, all of which are Yuan Shao's praise. Therefore, everyone knows that he can assassinate the history of Yuzhou, firstly, because he is a person from Yuan Shao's side, secondly, because his own family is powerful in Peiguo, north of Yuzhou, and thirdly, he himself has gained some fame in the courting of Dong regardless of life and death. ”

"Yes, whip in."

And Sun Wentai, the reliance of his people, is naturally his bravery, and second, it is the support of Yuan Shu. Otherwise, if he is so lightly plagiarized, he may not be able to ...... Yingchuan to the west of Yuzhou is based. ”

"Not bad."

"There is also Liu Xuande, who is also a capable person, and this time to discuss Dong is also to make the world look sideways...... But what's even better is that he relied on the support of Tao Qian in Xuzhou that day to make the trip, and he has an old relationship with the prince! Zhong Xuan stopped abruptly halfway through speaking, and quickly bowed his head.

Without him, after Liu Xuande's three words came out, Gongsun Xun stared at Ling Yuanchang after the case.

However, after the hall was quiet for a long time, the general Wei suddenly sneered: "That's good! The heroes of the world, how can they be Cao and Sun? can compete with Cao Mengde and Sun Wentai and master Yuzhou for the country, I think there is only one Liu Xuande! Yuan Chang ...... Good strategy! Good eye! ”

Zhong Xuan let out a sigh of relief.

"Kong Ling is incompetent." Gongsun Xun immediately continued. "You will write a tabula rasa to Shangshutai tomorrow, send an envoy to dismiss Kong Ling, and worship Liu Xuande as the assassin of Yuzhou!"

Zhong Miao hurriedly leaned over and called his life.

"Alright." After saying this, Gongsun Xun looked at the candles in the hall and the dark sky outside the hall, and shook his head again. "The Kanto region has been divided, and I am afraid that it will take more than ten years of strength to be able to smooth it all, don't care about overnight. And now that Guanzhong is not quiet, everything has to be stabilized in Guanzhong...... Ladies and gentlemen, it is getting late today and I won't talk about the situation in the Kanto region, but if there is still a major event, you can talk about it again, and if it is not a major event, you will also work hard today, so you might as well go back and rest first! ”

"Wait for you." After looking at each other for a while, Wang Xiu, who had been standing in the hall without moving, finally spoke again. "There is a big thing in front of Guanzhong that I have to say, but if I say it, I'm afraid I won't be able to ...... it for a while."

"Let's talk about it."

"Jun Hou, Jun Hou asked me to disband the people from all over the country and go back to prepare for the autumn harvest, which is a moral policy." Wang Xiu said quietly. "But some of the Guanzhong recruiters begged me not to drive them away...... for they are scattered, and have nowhere to go. ”

Gongsun Xun was immediately moved - this is another big problem that he encountered today after the army was homesick and the Kwantung chaos could not be solved by skills and methods.

Dong Zhuo moved the capital, and millions of people in Henan came to Guanzhong, and two or three hundred thousand people died and were scattered on the way, but the remaining seven or eight hundred thousand people are now all scattered all over Guanzhong - some people were randomly resettled in the Meiyang area that was scattered because of the Liangzhou chaos before; Some people were resettled in cities with extremely developed handicrafts, such as Baling, Duling, and Gaoling.

But what about the rest?

The war is so rapid, the war is so cruel, these people are dragging their families and uprooting their homes, and with such a huge number, how can they find a proper place to settle?

Even the people who settled in Meiyang were panicked - the autumn harvest was coming, and there was no food in the open space that had been roughly divided for them!

Gongsun Xun seized Guanzhong, took the land of Sanfu, subdued Han Sui and Ma Teng, and even was unscrupulous in front of Weiyang Palace, first 'whipping' the central courtiers, which seemed to be very good and imposing...... But there are also a lot of things to do.

But the challengers on the Kanto side are already in full swing.

"Take the food relief from Hewu first, and we must survive this winter." Gongsun Xun sighed. "The rest is a long-term plan."

"The prince wants to expand the shogunate and add the three princes to the general's mansion?" Xi Zhicai also hurriedly asked another big thing. "I see that the prince is so busy, why not go first?"

"It's not something that can be done overnight." Gongsun Xun frowned. "It will be disposed of together with the recent merit order that allowed him to throw himself under my door...... However, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and this matter can indeed be given more priority, so that it is okay, Yuan Chang and Gong Dajiu are in the center, and Zhicai can work with them to select some talents in the Chang'an Dynasty for me, and I will naturally personally select them at that time. ”

"Whoa." Xi Zhong could only bow his head quickly, but after getting up, he wanted to speak and stopped.

"What do you want to say?" Gongsun Xun frowned more and more.

"Some people in the court want to make the prince a general in order to reassure the people......"

"Don't talk about it again." Gongsun Xun's face darkened almost immediately. "Sneaky, don't dare to say it yourself, but let Cai Bojiao, an old man, talk about it, and think he has a plan? It's okay for others, but for a few of you, I can be blunt...... First, my daughter will never marry a son like Liu Hong! Second, the generals, hussar generals, and chariot cavalry generals are all gone, and I, as General Wei, can justifiably take over the military and political power, so why do I need to increase my ranks?! I would like to see who, after the incident the day before yesterday, would dare to compete with me for power in the DPRK and China? Huangfu Song or Wang Yun, or Liu Yu who came to Chang'an in a few days?! ”

"That being said." Tian Feng was the only one in the hall who was not afraid and rose to the occasion. "Have you ever thought that if you don't give yourself an official this time, what will happen to the lieutenant general Zuo in the future to be rewarded?"

"Isn't that just right?" Gongsun Xun frowned slightly. "As far as lower-ranking officers and non-commissioned officers are concerned, whether I add them or not, I will not delay their promotion and reward; As for the theory of meritorious service, if I don't increase the number of officials, won't they be even more embarrassed to take the initiative to become officials? The order in the world has collapsed, and there are still fewer people in the army who are indiscriminately rewarded? In my opinion, Dong Zhuo is more rigorous in this matter. ”

"There is a person ......" After Tian Feng slowly bowed his head and retreated, Jia Xu suddenly spoke. Wenhou Lu Bu, official positions and titles, seem to be a bit abused, especially now that he is just a general. ”

"He's not even a general." Gongsun Xun exhaled and said. "But since you don't pursue it, in order not to shake people's hearts, let's just leave it idle...... Of course, this person is the only one who is short-sighted, but he is as brave as a tiger, and he is unparalleled in the world, so he must be careful not to let him be bewitched by anyone...... Thank you for the text and the reminder. ”

Jia Xu bowed his head and said yes.

"This is the end of the day." Gongsun Xun shook his head and sighed, as if he was extremely tired. "You've worked so hard, so let's go back and rest...... Things have to be done one by one. ”

Everyone thanked them and said goodbye, and Gongsun Xunfu asked Jia Kui and others to pick up some precious objects from the original Taishi's Mansion and distribute them to these people, and send them all the way, so naturally there is no need to say more.

In this way, the sky was completely dark, and these resourceful people that Gongsun Xun could rely on also rode back to their homes one after another...... Some people are like Jia Xu and will set off tomorrow to run errands, some people like Wang Xiu have their own logistics system to continue to work hard, and some people like Tian Feng suddenly received an invitation from an old friend, and they can't shirk it, so they can only go to the banquet hard...... None of this is mentioned.

only said that Xun You, Zhong Xuan, and Xi Zhong were instructed, and these three old friends from Yingchuan in the past returned in the same car, and they drank together in Zhong Xuan's residence, but they also talked about today's things in the hall.

"Let's not talk about finding available talents for the central government for the prince," after three rounds of drinking, Xi Zhong put down his wine glass, and spoke cross-legged on the couch, asking more questions. "The two of you are participating in the deliberations for the first time today, and I dare to ask the two famous people what they think are these wise men in my family's generals, and they are worthy of the two talents? What about my general, what kind of model in the world can he compare to? ”

In other words, Zhong Xuan and Xun You are real friends of life and death, and they are both the top smart people in the world, the two only glanced at each other, how could they not understand that Xi Zhong was once in power, just like Gongsun Xun questioned Gongqing in front of Weiyang Palace the day before yesterday, and wanted to dissipate the depression in his heart with wine?

But understand it, after all, they are old friends, and these two are really not afraid of him.

"I knew Junhou earlier than you, how can I not know Junhou's divine martial arts." As the recommender of Xi Zhong, Zhong Xuan didn't care at all, and spoke directly. "Only these resourceful people seem to be brilliant and willing to do anything, but some of them have become hidden dangers, if one is not handled well, I am afraid that there will be a mess......"

"What's the hidden danger?" Xi Zhong was really a little angry. "Do you really look down on us who are from poor families and out of the way?"

"That's not what I mean." Zhong Xuan replied with a straight face. "I see the people sitting in the hall today...... There are only seven people, and three of them are from Yingchuan, and they are all old friends for decades, you say, if these three people are narrow-minded, so that they form a party in private and exclude others, wouldn't it be a bad thing for the prince and the prince? ”

Xi Zhong was stunned for a long time, embarrassed to death, and could only drink with his head bored, but Xun You and Zhong Xuan rarely laughed.

After laughing, Xi Zhong also relieved himself, and was just about to make amends, but Xun You, who had barely said a word today, suddenly spoke:

"Today is indeed a sight, such as Jia Wen and figuring out people's hearts, one blow will be hit; For example, Uncle Wang is diligent and not afraid of hard work; If Lou Zibo advances and retreats in a certain degree, he does not lose or miss; Another example is that Tian Yuanhao is upright and not afraid, pointing to the fear of difficulties...... There is one counted, and they are all amazing characters. Of course, there are also Yuan Chang and Zhicai, one is four or two and allocates a thousand catties, and the other does not care about gains and losses, and sacrifices himself for the main, which also opened my eyes. ”

"What about the prince?" Xi Zhong pressed the wine glass and asked. "What about you Xun Gongda?"

"Don't you know what happened to me?" Xun You smiled slightly. "As for General Wei and his people...... When I saw it in front of Weiyang Palace, I was called to do the "Seeking Talent" the day before yesterday, but I can only think of the sentence given by Qiao Gong in front of him...... The outside is rigid and the inside is tough, and the sharpness is the crown of the world! ”

"And then?" Zhong Xuan asked with a drunken sneer. "Gongdamo is going to disguise himself in front of us...... Will you follow it? ”

"The general trend is like this, and I am courteous to General Wei, so I naturally have to do things sincerely." Xun You continued to laugh. "But I really want to take a second look at General Wei's background at this time......"

"What do you see?" Xi Zhong asked coldly.

"I've seen it on the outside, but what about the tenacity on the inside?" Xun You said earnestly. "Dong Zhuo is violent and cruel, treating the people as nothing, and even ruining their lives, which is naturally the most despicable. Although General Wei did not say it directly, the meaning of putting the people first, suppressing the powerful and oppressing the world is already obvious......"

Under the wine, Zhong Xuan frowned slightly, and Xi Zhong squinted slightly.

"There's nothing unspeakable about this kind of thing." Xun You sighed slightly. "My uncle Xun Yue is as lonely as me, so I know him very well, and his thoughts are very similar to General Wei...... First, the powerful annexed the land, and the people's livelihood withered; Second, the family is associated with the officials, and the protégés regard the people as kings, and this wind is extremely bad for the power of the central government; Third, revenge is the norm, and there are groups of rangers, but in fact, they destroy the law and make the place out of control; Fourth, if you are contrary to the road, you will not follow the road...... Ladies and gentlemen, do you think that when the wise men of the world see the collapse of the world, they really have no reflection and review? ”

"I haven't returned to my hometown for many years, and I don't want Mr. Zhongyu to become this avenue, you can introduce it to my family, and it will definitely be reused!" Xi Zhong immediately spoke.

"My clan uncle, although he has the intention of becoming a great road, but he is a scholar by nature......" Xun You shook his head again and again. Moreover, he hated Emperor Xianling, but he did not necessarily dislike the ten-year-old and intelligent Son of Heaven, and when he came to the court, he would only write books with peace of mind and serve the young Son of Heaven loyally. Besides, he is now in Jizhou Han Fu, how can he come? ”

"Is the old favor of the Han family deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?" Xi Zhong sneered for a while.

"Speaking of which, Wen Ruo is also at Han Fu's?" Zhong Xuan suddenly asked.

"Yes, yes." Xun You sighed. "Fortunately, he went back in time and took half of the people with him, otherwise our Xun clan would have been wiped out...... In any case, for killing Li Yu, I will be grateful to General Wei for life. ”

Xi Zhong and Zhong Xuan also shook their heads.

"You just said that my family is waiting for internal tenacity?" Xi Zhong was just about to pour himself, but suddenly remembered something. "Isn't it unfinished?"

"Yes, yes." Xun You replied earnestly. "I mean, I understand General Wei's ambitions, and if I fall into this situation today, how can I not want to see him succeed in this career and bring the world back to order? It's just that toughness is easier than weakness, and benevolence is more difficult than tyranny...... With his sharpness, to whip the world's heroes and clans, I am not worried, and even faintly expectant. But what about people-oriented? Dong Zhuo regards the people as nothing, so he can move the capital successfully, but he is people-oriented, but he is involved in Guanzhong by two million people in Guanzhong, and he is anxious...... But in the troubled times, there are always people who are opportunistic and trample on the people to achieve a career. So, how long can he endure it? The day before yesterday, he said that Emperor Ling had a single husband, but who in the world used force to suppress the world, which one was not a single husband? He stood in front of Weiyang Palace, holding a knife and scolding the world, isn't it a one-man act? Without a producer, will he one day feel too tired, and then abandon his ambitions, and easily treat the people as nothing? ”

The drama was loyal and stopped.

"I'm not trying to blame him." Xun Yu sighed faintly. "In fact, compared to Dong Zhuo, Emperor Ling, and the princes of the world, I am already embarrassed that General Wei can insist on this, and I am also willing to work diligently to help him clear the world. Therefore, how can they learn from those who sell their fame and reputation, and be good at putting more weight on others? Only you and I have been friends for ten years, plus I was bored in prison before, and I thought too much...... That's just a few more words of wine today! ”

"And for General Wei's birthday!" Zhong Xuan sighed and raised his glass.

"For General Wei's birthday!" Xun and Xi raised their glasses one after another.

Just when the three old people of Yingchuan were drinking and sighing, and when Tian Feng and Wang Yun, two old friends of the former Yushitai, were reminiscing together, Gongsun Xun, who was somewhat clear about this, didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, but instead finished eating alone early, and then wrote a letter in person, ready to ask his own mother in Hedong for help...... It's not that he has maternal dependence, but when it comes to the placement of hundreds of thousands of people, this heroine who single-handedly created the Amway may really be the only expert in the world.

Of course, I am angry that my wife sent a special letter before, calling away the lady of the side room 'Diao Chan', so that there was no one around to accompany her, and then deliberately causing trouble to my wife, I am afraid that there are also some thoughts...... Therefore, as soon as this letter was written, from his heroic posture of scolding the minister in front of Weiyang Palace, to the thousands of troubles in Guanzhong today, and then to Cao Sun Liu's bitter drama in Yuzhou when he just got married to life and death, he did not miss a thing.

After writing, the outside of the open door was already very thick, and the moon stars were thin.

"Who's outside the house?" Gongsun Xun put away the envelope and called casually.

"Prince!" Yuvro hurriedly flashed in and bowed his head respectfully.

Gongsun Xun squinted at this person, and then spoke directly: "According to the system, twenty people outside the house are on duty at night, what are you good at, what about the other one?" ”

"Zhang Shichang just went to Xiaojie, and he happened to be absent." Juvro hurriedly replied.

"It's okay...... Take it to Tian Yu and ask him to arrange for someone to go to Hedong early tomorrow morning to hand over to the old lady! Gongsun Xun no longer cared, and immediately reached out to hand over the letter.

And Yu Furo also hurriedly took over, turning around carefully and wanting to leave.

"That's right." Gongsun Xun suddenly remembered something. "Han Sui, Ma Teng, and the group of Xiliang army leaders, haven't they sent the proton list yet?"

"Wait for you." Huvro bowed his head again. "What you said that day after you expelled Cai Bojiao, let us tell everyone that if it were not for the great event and the summoning, then neither the old nor the other guests would be gone...... Han Ma is not called. ”

"It's me who is confused." Gongsun Xun suddenly realized. "Forget about the rules...... I was so angry that day...... Tomorrow's talent search order will be posted, so as not to stop the talents who have come to the fore. ”

"Whoa." Juvro hurriedly said yes, and then hurried away with the letter, but after taking two steps, he seemed to remember something, and then turned around helplessly. "Prince."

"What?" Gongsun Xun, who didn't know whether to go to bed early or read a book, suddenly lost his mind.

"Prince." Juvro held the letter in his hand and turned back to report. "You just said you abandoned the rules of the day before?"

"Yes!"

"Actually, just before it was dark, about the time after dinner, an old prince came to visit...... Because of the prince's order, we didn't come to report, but they didn't want to leave, so they simply waited under the front hall. ”

"It seems that I am indeed old." Gongsun Xun was also speechless. "Otherwise, why don't you dare to call him off without reporting it? Who is it? ”

"It's the son-in-law of the Cai Bojiao family." Juvro was even more embarrassed. "Holding a white cat, with a veil, and two stout maids, he carried a large box...... Tian Sima, who was in charge, specially asked the seniors of Yi Congzhong, and everyone said that this was indeed an old friend of the prince and the marquis, and he thought that he was here to make amends for Cai Bojiao, but the prince was angry, so he had to take care of it carefully and not report it. ”

Gongsun Xun became more and more speechless, but he was powerless to wave his hand: "It's okay, let you embarrass you...... That being the case, it doesn't hurt to let her in, I'm already deflated anyway. ”

Huvro hurried out again.

After a moment, sure enough, he led a woman with a big white cat in her arms, and a box carried by two stout servants came to him.

Another Zhang Shichang, who had just returned, met with Yu Fuluo, but he was about to open the box under the open porch in public, but there was a copper lock on the box, which made them helpless.

"It's all a lonely book, and you can only let General Wei read it alone!" The woman wearing the veil was a little panicked when she saw this, so that the white cat in her arms was frightened, jumped out of the smoke, and entered the Gongsun Xun residence first.

Yu Fuluo, along with the chief of Zhang, and Hu Chuquan, whose hand had been pressed to the box, looked back at his general's face.

And Gongsun Xun shook his head helplessly when he saw this: "Let it in...... How can Cai Bojiao have the guts to assassinate me? Akihime won't hurt me! ”

The guards received the order and instead lifted the heavy chest, placed it in the house, and exited the house.

Immediately, the veiled woman was at a loss and walked into the house, but she reluctantly bowed: "Please General Wei close the door, and I will show the general a gift of reparation......"

Gongsun Xun was speechless, but he didn't stop the other party, just got up directly and hugged the cat, and then came to the box: "Why is this so?" Your father was just confused, and although I was angry the day before yesterday, I also knew that he was being used by others. ”

"No, it's not like that......" the woman said reluctantly. Checkmate...... No matter what, the general is always angry with my family. ”

"The articulate little girl in the past, is she even afraid of this?" Gongsun Xun shook his head more and more. "That's good, I'll accept the gift, it's getting late, you go back!"

"Please, the prince must ...... Be sure to unpack it yourself. The woman continued to plead. Then I was allowed to go. ”

Gongsun Xun shook his head helplessly, holding the big white cat in one hand to get out of the way, and signaling the other party to open the box with the other. And the person quickly took out the key in the bag, trembling and ready to open the lock...... But he missed for a moment and wrung the key.

The metal lock of the Han Dynasty was already a reed structure, so the whole thing, Gongsun Xun was helpless and suspicious, so he held the white cat in one hand and took off his broken blade from the case with the other, and then split the copper lock with a knife under the woman's panic, and then picked up the lid of the narrow wooden box with the blade, and immediately stunned.

The white cat jumped out of Gongsun Xun's arms and ran into the box, but Gongsun Xun was dumbfounded.

"Why is that?" After a long time, Gongsun Xun came back to his senses. "I have not sinned against your father......

"Perhaps, who would dare not be afraid of General Ranwei's sword?" In the box, a young woman with a white cat in her arms, then her face turned crimson, and she continued to lie there and speak. "And my father is so confused, can one be two or three?"

"But it's still not there." Gongsun Xun bowed his head and said. "When I first met him more than ten years ago, I knew in my heart that he was a fool......"

"After parting a few years earlier, I also understood that General Wei was a smart man." The woman in the box turned crimson and spoke softly. "So that's it."

"Get out!" Gongsun Xun suddenly turned his head and said solemnly to the woman with the veil on his side.

————I'm the dividing line to repay the debt————

"General Wei both begged Dong Cheng, entered Chang'an on a white horse, and went to Weiyang Palace to pay homage to the Son of Heaven, when the Son of Heaven was ten years old. After coming out, Cai Yong said in the past: 'How can the Son of Heaven be? He said, "The Son of Heaven is wise." Yong Nai stood up and bowed: "Now the prince and the marquis lead 100,000 people to cross the Weishui, the people of Chang'an are uneasy, and the son of heaven is ten years old and smart, and the prince and the prince are in the year of Jiaer, why not think that it will be the future to calm the hearts of the people in the world?" General Wei said angrily: "You have your own daughter, why don't you marry her?" 'It's chasing. After returning, Yong was terrified, so he sacrificed his daughter to General Wei, that is, Mrs. Cai. —"Three Auxiliary Decisions". Zhao Qi
