Chapter 12 Why do you want to fight all the time?
In late June, in the North Palace of Luoyang, the afternoon heat is in full swing.
Surrounded by dozens of Zhonghuangmen and Xiaohuangmen, Da Changqiu, Huangmen Supervisor, and Zhongchang attendant Zhao Zhong returned here from Nangong through the imperial road, and bumped into their political ally, Zhongchang Servant Zhang Rang.
Since the death of Cao Jie and Wang Fu, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong have specialized in the North Palace, flattering the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother, and the Empress; One person specialized in Nangong, interfered with Shangshutai, and suppressed the foreign dynasty...... The tacit understanding between each other is also amazing.
Of course, these two people know very well that the situation they are facing is different from that of their predecessors in the past, and the outside party members and scholars discuss to kill them semi-openly every day, and if they don't work together to flatter the Son of Heaven carefully, and if they don't unite to suppress the foreign dynasty, how can they keep the glory and wealth of themselves and their families?!
If these two people could have Cao Teng and Cao Jie's ability to suppress the dynasty, they would have bitten each other's heads out of each other.
So having said that, for the time being, this mutual support situation is likely to continue for a long time.
"It's weirdly hot, play with me, and the rest will be dispersed." Zhao Zhong seemed to have anticipated Zhang Rang's waiting, and directly waved his hand to disperse the surrounding pile of yellow doors, and personally took over a stack of concerts and came to Zhang Rang, and then the two calmly went hand in hand.
Now with the promotion of Gongsun paper, coupled with the reversal of the war, the imperial court has officially allowed the song to be changed to paper in order to facilitate the transmission of information.
"What's the matter today?" Zhang Rang took off the crown belt of his middle attendant as he walked, and flicked it in his arms, but a gray hair was exposed in the sun.
And although Zhao Zhong is high-sounding, the crown belt is also white.
"You're in trouble." Zhao Zhong said slightly in his arms. "Wang Zishi really didn't have a good heart when he went to Yingchuan this time, he said that when he followed Huangfu Song to receive the surrender of the Yellow Turban Thieves in Yunxian County, he checked out the correspondence between your family and the Yellow Turban Thieves, and then impeached you for colluding with the Yellow Turbans with the intention of rebellion."
"It's a nuisance, it's just to be expected." Zhang Rang was not in a hurry. "On that day, they took advantage of the Yellow Turban Thief's strong momentum to promote the prince to be the assassin of Yuzhou, and I expected this day, so I made a foreshadowing from His Majesty early...... I just don't want them to be in such a hurry and so ridiculous. ”
"Zhang Changzhi is prepared." Zhao Zhong sneered for a while. "However, since Wang Zishi has torn his face, what do you want?"
"Since you're looking for me, I'll deal with it myself." Zhang Rang sighed. "It's just a pity, the prince is the pillar of the Taiyuan Wang family, and it is also the uncle of Yizhou, and he has been in Yushitai for decades...... It's still at war, it's not suitable! ”
"Those who want to go to prison over there, maybe they have a strong personality like Lu Changshi, and they don't want to be humiliated by the jailers." Zhao Zhong still sneered.
"That's all there is to it." Zhang Rang said with a smile. "At that time, I want to humiliate him in prison to see if he can stand it." However, at this point, this Chang Chang Waiter's face suddenly turned solemn, and his tone became serious. "Actually, in my opinion, the most important thing is not what prince and what letters, but Huangfu Song!"
"Wasn't that expected?" Seeing that he had come to the shade of a tall palace, Zhao Zhong stopped, and his tone became as serious as the other party. "The other generation of side generals, now one jumps more than the other......"
"Still jealous of your niece-in-law?" Zhang Rang couldn't help but stop, and took the opportunity to put on the crown belt of the middle waiter. "Look at you, you keep saying that everything is expected, but you are still resentful."
"I just didn't think that kid was so arrogant!" Zhao Zhong couldn't help but grit his teeth when he heard this. "Although he whipped my confidants and family members in public for prestige, it is also a common gesture, although I hate it, but I do not complain! Only this kid dares to give me a penny to buy money?! Who does he think he is? Did he think that my dignified Changqiu would have to buy a life from him in the future? ”
Zhang Rang immediately laughed.
"What's so ridiculous?" Zhao Zhong became more and more angry.
"Zhao Changshi." Zhang Rang was not in a hurry, awe-inspiring. "Since Zhang Huan's incident came out, this group of people from border counties, especially young people, should be extra vigilant, you yourself see that the situation is unclear, and you are trying in vain to humiliate yourself, why do you still behave like this now?"
"Come on!" Zhao Zhong put away his anger, but laughed at the past. "Didn't you also think about asking for a bribe from Huangfu Song before, in order to test one or two? It's just that now Huangfu Song has jumped out by himself, saving you from being pretentious. ”
"Are Huangfu Song the same thing as your niece and son-in-law?" Zhang Rang said disapprovingly. "Huangfu Song is already in his fifties, and there is a lot of leeway to act, so although there is a precedent for asking for the party's money, it is more like pushing the boat along the river and taking advantage of the shortcuts, and it is really hard to say how his own mind is before this matter comes out!"
"Do you know that it was before this thing?" Zhao Zhong pushed back again, but finally gave up this ridiculous confrontation and turned to the right color. "Zhang Changshi, there is some truth in what you just said...... In this matter, the trouble is not Wang Yun's prince's division, but Huangfu Song. In fact, the situation today is that almost all of these leaders are unable to get along with us...... We can't just sit idly by, can we? ”
"There really needs to be a counterattack." Zhang Rang couldn't help but get up. "But you have to know what is important...... Huangfu Song, Gongsun Xun, Zhu Jun, these three can't act rashly now! ”
Zhao Zhong was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but ask: "Why do you say this?" Do they still dare to lead troops into Luo? ”
"Not really." Zhang Rang scoffed. "The Son of Heaven is alive, the Han dynasty has been in the country for hundreds of years, who dares to lead troops into Luo without authorization? It's true that one day the general will be in power, shouting that these people will lead troops into Luo, and who will dare to touch the north and south palaces? ”
"That ......"
"The point is, the Son of Heaven will not agree to you and me moving these three." Zhang Rang put away his smile for the second time and looked at the other party seriously.
Zhao Zhong was silent for a while, but he was still a little unwilling: "In the eyes of Your Majesty, is the border general more important than those scholars?" ”
"It's not Your Majesty, it's the Son of Heaven." Zhang Rang folded his hands and looked at his narrow-minded ally. "Anyone who knows the truth knows that the border general is more important than the doctor...... And if we fight like this, you and I will not be worth a penny in front of the victorious general. ”
"Why?" The statement of a few pennies immediately made Zhao Zhong blow up again.
"Zhao Changshi, Da Changqiu!" Zhang Rang couldn't help but sigh. "What do you think is the relationship between us and the Son of Heaven? Why does the Son of Heaven trust us? ”
"We are house slaves." Zhao Zhong immediately said casually, but then added. "It's also a doorman...... You told me that. ”
"Not bad!" Zhang Rang nodded his head. "The Son of Heaven is actually the head of a large family with the world as his industry...... You and I are both doormen and house slaves, and the Son of Heaven is surrounded and flattered by us all day long, so he naturally trusts us. But those scholars always don't understand this! What are they? In fact, they are the stewards of the manors and mansions, who are not easy to earn their own wages, but they always have to dictate to the owners of the property and interfere with the industry! is still punished every day, how can a master listen to the words of outsiders and kill all his cronies and domestic slaves? ! ”
Zhao Zhong looked down at the stack of music in his arms, and couldn't help laughing: "What Zhang Changshou said is very reasonable, so do you want to say that those generals are the guards of the master's house?" ”
"Or else?" Zhang Rang asked rhetorically.
"That's true." Zhao Zhong nodded slowly. "I understand Zhang Changshi's reasoning thoroughly...... There are thieves going on outside, and even if we are the trusted doormen or house slaves of the master's family, we can't say that we can move the master to deal with the guards who are defending against the enemy, especially the guards who are performing well. ”
"Take a step back, if the door of the house is broken, don't talk about the master's house, we can escape as domestic slaves?" Zhang Rang shook his head more and more. Therefore, if the war is uneven, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Gongsun Xun will not be able to move for a day...... The Son of Heaven doesn't allow it, and neither should you and me, so as not to embarrass ourselves! ”
"Then bear with it for a while!" As he spoke, Zhao Zhong couldn't help but glance at the song in his arms. "Since these three who won the battle can't move, what about the others?"
"Others can't get it either." Zhang Rang shook his head and said. "The Son of Heaven is not confused, he will not kill anyone who leads the troops without objection at this time, that will make the world's martial artists cold and cold, maybe it will provoke new chaos."
"Can't you kill it?" Zhao Zhong sighed.
"You can't kill it, but you can't move it." Zhang Rang calmly comforted. "After all, the Son of Heaven may not dislike them for not fighting effectively...... The other three are all winning the battle, and the 40,000 or 100,000 are destroyed, so why are you not able to fight? ”
"Then it's up to us to step forward and take their military power as a warning!" Zhao Zhong, who understood the meaning of the other party, immediately raised his tone. "The people of the province think that we can't move these generals and think that we are smart!"
"You can ask for bribes from Lu Zhi and Guo Xun." Zhang Rang seems to have a plan. "But there's no need to push too hard, you and I don't have to come forward, find a middle yellow door, a small yellow door to come forward to test...... If they don't comply, they will make a statement to the Son of Heaven again, saying that he deliberately delayed the war and plotted against him! ”
"Still not right." Zhao Zhong suddenly calmed down. "The three generals in the south have just pacified Yingchuan, and they are all waiting for the central edict, if they can't make arrangements first, they will get rid of Lu Zhi or Guo Xun, and I'm afraid it will be in vain to increase the merits of these three people......"
"What's wrong? Zhu Jun went to Nanyang, Huangfu Song went to Yingchuan, Gongsun Xun ......" Zhang Rang took the initiative to look at Zhao Zhong halfway through speaking. "Gongsun Xun went to Hebei to help Lu Zhi, these are the general directions discussed by the DPRK and China before, Your Majesty maybe, and the reward and order will be sent out in two days."
"Gongsun Xun can't go to Lu Zhi." Zhao Zhong gritted his teeth and said. "Have you thought about it, if Gongsun Xun is on Lu Zhi's side, once Lu Zhi is driven down, won't he take advantage of the situation to lead the main force of 60,000 elite officers and soldiers? This kid has 10,000 elites in his hands, 10,000 newly recruited soldiers stationed in Yangzhai, you and I can't sleep well, if you have 60,000 troops with him, and then win Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang, Megatron the world...... At that time, do you want me to really buy my own life with a penny?! ”
Zhang Rang also hesitated slightly, and bowed his head seriously: "Gongsun Xun is young and acts fiercely...... I really have to guard against it. ”
"Let him go back to Hebei and go to the northern line to replace Guo Xun!" Zhao Zhong had an idea after thinking about it for a while. "His subordinates are Youzhou soldiers, Bingzhou soldiers, and Hanoi soldiers, and it is impossible to go to Hebei...... first take Guo Xun in the name of disadvantage in battle, and then let him replace him; When he arrives on the northern front and officially takes over the war, it's not too late to test Lu Zhi! ”
Zhang Rang also thought for a moment, and then immediately bowed his head: "That's right!" The prince was there, and he waited until Huangfu Song left Yuzhou. ”
After speaking, in the shadow of the palace in the afternoon, the two of them were relaxed for a while, but soon they all fell silent.
After a long time, Zhao Zhongcai couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "I really didn't expect that if you and I want to rectify a few people, you and I will have to bother to work so hard?" ”
"Wait." Zhang Rang smiled helplessly. "When it's an emergency, it's natural to deal with it very well. When the country is peaceful and the war is resolved, we will slowly settle accounts with these people...... Let's go, go to the West Garden to submit the recital, you and I have to have a tacit understanding in front of the Son of Heaven today. ”
Zhao Zhong slowly bowed his head, and took the lead in holding the middle song in his arms and went to the West Garden, but as soon as he walked together, he suddenly realized, as if he remembered something, he actually stopped again, and beckoned to a Zhonghuang Gate not far away.
Zhang Rang didn't know why, but he didn't bother to ask, just waited by the side.
"Two adults, please command." Zhonghuangmen rushed here regardless of the hot weather, and as soon as he came, he directly bent down and saluted.
"Alright." Zhao Zhong was impatient. "It's nothing else, you quickly go to our Yellow Gate Prison, cut out my tongue from Xiang Xu first, and then beat me to death...... Be quick! ”
Zhonghuangmen nodded slightly, and without saying a word, he turned around and went quickly, while Zhao Zhong also continued to turn around and head towards the West Garden.
"Why is that?" Zhang Rang followed, but he didn't know why. "I still want to take care of this cheap maniac!"
"Gongsun Xun has a note today, saying that Xiang Xu is Zhao Xiang when he was the commander of Handan, and his kindness is unforgettable...... Therefore, he is willing to pay for his sins. Zhao Zhong said casually. Just in case. ”
"I see." Zhang Rang was stunned, and he didn't care at all.
The summer heat was unbearable, and on the way from the North Palace to the West Garden, two gray-haired Zhongchang attendants were pulled out by the sun with a long shadow.
"You actually asked me to go back to deal with Zhang Bao?" A few days later, in Yang Zhai, in the empty hall of the county temple, Gongsun Xun, who had received the order, was puzzled for a while. "Shouldn't I be asked to go to Guangzong to help in the war?"
"Return to the good townsman." Xiao Huangmen, who came to deliver the message, immediately smiled. "It is said that Guo Xun and Guo Thorn Shi repeatedly captured Quyang, and could not command Julu Guo Taishou and Zhongshan Zhang Taishou properly, and the two 2,000 stones repeatedly complained...... Therefore, the court intends to let you replace you. As for Guangzong's office, the center intended to let Cao Cao, the cavalry captain, lead his troops to help Lu Gong, the general of Beizhonglang. ”
Gongsun Xun, who had transformed into a good countryman, looked at the little yellow door with a hint of fear in the smiling in front of him, but his heart suddenly rose...... The appointment of the center is justified, and I am afraid that I really have nothing to say.
It was natural for a group of knights from Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Hanoi to return to northern Hebei to fight with them, and Cao Cao led the newly acquired infantry from Dongjun to help, and Lu Zhi, who was not far from Dongjun, seemed to be a reasonable arrangement.
And besides, in the current situation, can you still refuse if the center dispatches you to fight somewhere? And in all fairness, although Guangzong is the main battlefield, it doesn't seem to be a good place to go.
"What about Huangfu and Zhu?" After a pause for a long time, Gongsun Xun temporarily pressed these messy thoughts, and asked seriously.
"Huangfu Gong made the capital of the townspeople, went to Chen Guo and Runan, and conquered Peng Tuo's thief department." Xiao Huangmen hurriedly replied. "Zhu Gong sealed the Xixiang Marquis and went to Nanyang Wancheng...... Yingchuan is flat, and everyone has a place to go. ”
"Those rewards from my subordinates ......" Gongsun Xun paused for a moment and continued to ask.
"The Son of Heaven praised the three generals, and all the three asked for it." Xiao Huangmen couldn't wait to speak again. "This time, the appointments of the two Bisenshi you asked have also been approved. I don't know ......."
"You go and talk to Liu Xuande." Gongsun Xun stretched out his hand and said. "The other one is going to branch, I'll come and talk to him personally."
"Reasonable." Xiao Huangmen didn't dare to slack off, and the attendant behind him immediately held a box containing seals and documents. "The good townsman did it himself. If nothing else......"
"Go ahead!" Gongsun Xun didn't have the heart to play a prestige with such a posture of a small yellow door, so he directly shook his hand and signaled.
As if he had been granted amnesty, Xiao Huangmen immediately hurriedly took people away, preparing to go elsewhere to announce the decree.
However, at this moment, Gongsun Xun, who had just put the box on a few cases, suddenly remembered something, and then turned back suddenly: "You stay, how did Xiang Xu Xianggong deal with it?" I once wrote to me to repay his sins, but now I have been promoted to a good countryman...... If I remember correctly, this good township should be the first township under the jurisdiction of Ji County, Guangyang County, Youzhou Prefecture, so illustrious and rewarded, what is the fate of Xiang Gong? ”
Xiao Huangmen's forehead was sweating, and he could only reluctantly babble nonsense: "In fact, the capital township of Huangfu Gong is also the capital of Huaili County, the capital of Youfufeng; Zhu Gong's Xixiang is also the first township of Liyang, where the Yangzhou Thorn History Department is located...... It's all the same illustrious. ”
"Dead?" Gongsun Xun waited for the other party to finish speaking, and then asked coldly.
"He died in prison before the general went to Luozhong." Xiao Huangmen said helplessly.
Gongsun Xun sneered.
Seeing this, Xiao Huangmen didn't dare to stay longer, so he fled in a hurry.
Since Xiaohuangmen went out, Lu Fan, Lou Gui, Xi Zhong, Han Dang and other private ministers flocked in, they heard clearly outside just now, Gongsun Xun was promoted to a good countryman, no matter what, this is a good thing, naturally I want to come to congratulate.
Gongsun Xun didn't care about this...... The reward of a high-ranking member of his level will definitely not really come until the war subsides, and the so-called increase in titles is a great thing in the eyes of others, but in his eyes, it is just a political signal that something is still under control, and there is nothing else.
As for Xiang Xu's death...... How so? Gongsun Xun is not happy or sad, and there is no melancholy, after all, the chaos has been born, and this kind of person will not live long. There is only one point, that is, I have a clearer understanding of the ruthlessness of eunuchs...... The trick of answering orders at the front door and killing people at the back door, as if who doesn't know?
Therefore, Gongsun Xun just hurriedly skipped the matter, and then told a few private ministers where he was going, and asked Han Dang to fetch something, but signaled to let Lou Gui call someone to come.
"Zhicai." Seeing the two of them go out, Gongsun Xun looked at Xi Zhicai with interest. "Do you know, who do I want my uncle to call?"
Xi Zhong thought for a while, but simply said: "Back to the king, my subordinates think that this person may be surnamed Li or Le." ”
Gongsun Xun and Lu Fan glanced at each other, but they couldn't help but laugh together.
"Zhicai is indeed smart." Lu Fan sighed sincerely. "I guessed it right."
Lou Gui was not there, and Xi Zhong rarely raised his eyebrows half a time, so he rolled his eyes, but he couldn't help but say more: "Junhou, the so-called grace and power are equally important, and his subordinates have an idea......
Gongsun Xun became more and more interested.
After a while, Han Dang brought a box from the backyard, and after a while, a report also came from the front of the hall, saying that Li Jin, the head of the tun, had invited Lou Gui to see him.
Yes, since Li Jin was requisitioned in the first battle of Weixiang, he led 3,000 soldiers, two major battles, several small battles, almost no one was pulled down, and hundreds of casualties were killed, which can be called hardwork...... But this guy has only been a tun chief until now! Three thousand children can only receive the salary of a hundred!
Not only that, but the Jiyin Li clan was also treated like a blood collapse, and the three thousand soldiers were transferred to the two places, all of which were their own supplies of weapons, grain and grass, and even when they were in Dongjun, the entire army had to be supported by them when they fought in Henan, and acted as eyes and ears.
And all of this was done by Gongsun Xun, a general from a border county!
Therefore, if it were not a last resort, Li Jin and Li Hui would never have come to see Gongsun Xun.
"Li retreats." Gongsun Xun saw the other party bowing on the ground, still cold. "Good news for you...... The Son of Heaven has just issued an order to let me lead the cavalry in the army to Quyang under the northern line of Jizhou to deal with Zhang Bao, and all of you, the foot soldiers recruited by Dongjun, have been disposed of by Brother Meng De, the cavalry captain, and it is said that you are going to Guangzong to meet Zhang Jiao. ”
Li Jin's heart suddenly rejoiced, and his hands on the ground almost trembled...... Are he and the three thousand Li clan disciples finally going to break free from the clutches of this person in the hall? As long as you don't follow this person, you will have a much better life in the future, right?
"But there's bad news, too." Gongsun Xun was condescending, and said slowly. "Since you have left me, with your strong background, I am afraid that your career will be broken. I originally wanted to take you to the Quartet, and finally give your family a future of 2,000 stones, but I didn't expect to say goodbye halfway...... Don't worry about me in the future, after all, there are very few people like me who use people regardless of their background. ”
Rao is Li Jin didn't want to see Gongsun Xun's face, and he couldn't help but raise his head inexplicably at this time.
"Give it to him!" Gongsun Xun gestured slightly.
Immediately, Han Dang and Lou Gui each stepped forward with a box.
Among them, Han Yigong took the lead in putting down the box in his hand, and when he opened it, it was a set of seals and documents.
"After the Battle of Dongjun, the marquis of my family asked the court for the title of the 600 Shiqu military marquis on behalf of you Li Huizhi." Lu Fan said with a negative hand beside him. "Don't be surprised, my family is by no means a person who does not reward his hard work, but your Li family's strong posture is too much, if you are repeatedly promoted in the army, I am afraid that some people will not be convinced...... Therefore, it has always been on the side of the prince. ”
At this point, without waiting for Li Jin to react, Lou Gui next to him also put down the box in his hand and opened it, then got up and said with a sneer: "This is after the First World War of Changshe, the prince asked for the Sima seal of the Qianshi Department for you...... Originally, it was also going to be temporarily stored on the side, but since it was going to be separated, it didn't matter. ”
Li Jin stared at the two seals on the ground in front of him, and had mixed feelings for a while, even he couldn't figure out his mood at this time, but after a long silence, he finally leaned over slowly again and bowed to each other on the ground: "The kindness of the prince is unforgettable." ”
As soon as the words fell, Gongsun Xun walked straight down from the hall without saying a word, and then actually pulled out his broken blade, which was already famous all over the world.
Li Jin was shocked for a while, but before he could react, he felt a sudden weight behind him. When I looked back, there were actually four or five righteous servants standing beside him, holding him down from behind! Without waiting for this Li Huizhi to figure out what was going on, or whether he should resist...... Han Dangfu came over again, and actually grabbed this person's hair bun, pulled his head up, and exposed his neck.
Li Jin was panicked and trembling all over...... Such a sudden situation could not help him to react like this.
Gongsun Xun came with a knife, smiled and gestured on the other party's neck, but suddenly swung the knife and cut off the person's hair bun, and then put the knife back to his seat.
Everyone spread their hands, and in the entire hall, only Lou Zibo and Li Jin were a little stunned at this time.
"There is merit and merit, but you slander the prince in your own army all day long, and you will also be executed!" Xi Zhong explained proudly beside him. "But the war is not over, and the country still wants to use you, so I will cut my hair and act as the head for the time being!"
