Chapter Twenty-Three: It's a Cool Autumn

The Tiger Growl, the Tiger That Roars!

Jiuyuan Lu Bu was promoted by Liu Yan as the protector Sima as early as when Lu Zhi led the troops out of Luo, but Lu Zhi was born in Jizhou and regarded him as a civilian official, so he rarely let him go into battle.

In addition, there are far more people with backgrounds and backgrounds in the army than him, so his reputation has always been insignificant.

Unexpectedly, in today's war, this person was really like a tiger coming out of the mountain, roaring to intimidate Hebei and intimidate the army. Relying on his outstanding performance, the Han army covered up the killing, and won a complete victory under the city of Guangzong, not to mention the recapture of the earth mountain and the fortress in front of the city...... It is estimated that he is worried that the other party will give him an arrow from a distance on the dirt mountain.

However, a big victory certainly boosted the morale of the Han army, but it was not enough for the 100,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Army.

In the final analysis, Dong Zhuo's strategic mistake gave the Yellow Turban Army a rare respite, the city was repaired, and the wounded and soldiers were re-equipped, so after the failure of the intention to expand the results of the battle on the second day, in the face of the situation that Zhang Jiao lived in the city and Zhang Liang lived outside the city, relying on each other, deep ditches and high bases, and strictly defending, the Han army could only return to the difficult siege stalemate situation after all.

The courage of a general may be able to determine the life and death of thousands of armies and the victory or defeat of ten thousand troops, but in the face of a major battle at the level of more than 100,000 people, he has not been able to catch it.

It must be known that even if the commander of the enemy army is forced back in a field battle like Zhang Jaw, it still needs 10,000 cavalry to arrive in time to make a final decision in the field battle...... Don't even be cautious, and lead the elite to be careful from beginning to end, without any flaws?

Of course, with the long delay, there are some other rumors in the army, saying that there may be the selfishness of the coach Dong Zhongying, after all, his person has made a serious strategic mistake after all, I am afraid that Luozhong has already selected a candidate to replace him, so since he has regained face, he doesn't want to work hard to make wedding dresses for others.

However, it is also a siege, and it seems to be ...... in Xiaquyang Well, it's a lot easier.

In about 20 days, the Han army, which did not have any pressure of victory or defeat, besieged the city, and at the same time carried out sacrifices, inscriptions, rewards, and weak moves.

When August came, the Han army even sent people to harvest the corn that had not been spoiled in the surrounding area, and gave the new rice to the first-line besieging troops to enjoy.

And it is in the aroma of corn porridge that the surrounding mountains of Xiaquyang gradually form.

Tushan is an old method of siege, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it has a remarkable effect in practical application.

In fact, after the Tushan was built, in the face of the orderly suppression and attack of the Han army from the Tushan, the Yellow Turban Army in Xiaquyang City was indeed even more crumbling, and many young commanders of the Yellow Turban Army who were born in the strong were also beginning to waver.

Some people tried to escape from the south side of the open road, but were calmly chased and killed by the Han cavalry; Someone tried to make an appointment, but the Han army ignored it; There are also people who directly defect from the city at night, but they are sold to Liaodong to open up wasteland.

However, according to the unified description of these people, the city is indeed no longer the same - the most direct one is that Zhang Bao has lost his sharpness since the war that day, and he has been drinking all day long and ignoring the military, and now all the affairs in the city are handed over to his cronies, and those people are not familiar with general affairs, and they are quite unjust, so now the morale of the Yellow Turban Army in the city has fallen to the bottom.

In the afternoon of mid-August, on the south bank of the Hutuo River, on the pitch built next to the Chinese army camp, the army was watching a Keju match.

In other words, since the size of the army was reduced by reward, because the Han army was mostly based on its origins, Gongsun Xun simply used the county establishment as a battalion and carried out war rotation, which has obvious advantages and disadvantages, but the temporary establishment is not a big problem.

And now, the two teams in the field are the Hejian Camp, which was in the limelight that day, and the Yuyang Camp, which was quite taken care of by Gongsun Xun. And this game is not a 'friendly match' of gambling to dig the earth mountain during the daytime, but an official competition of the 'Hesheng Cup' organized by Gongsun Xun himself. Now, the tournament has already entered the knockout round, and today's winner will compete for the top spot with the Namaju camp that brought Keju into the army the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, the whole army flocked to see it for a while.

"No!" Wei Yue was condescending and pretended. "These two teams are both mediocre talents, no matter who wins or loses, they will definitely not be their opponents in the future...... Mr. Ziheng, did you say? ”

Lu Fan next to him glanced back at the other party and smiled slightly, but he didn't say much.

Wei Yue continued to say proudly: "In my opinion, unless the general asks Brother Yigong to send the brothers of Baima Yi to come out to compete, there is nothing in the army that can be compared with the Bingzhou battalion, and Cheng Lian's kid still has a few hands...... However, Bai Ma Yi is also the majority of old brothers in Bingzhou, and I am afraid that it is still the civil war of the old brothers of Yanmen in the past. ”

Lu Fan smiled again, but finally spoke: "Zidu thinks too much, the general already has the intention of taking advantage of this Keju competition to select warriors from various battalions to expand the White Horse Yicong, how can he still let Yicong form a team to participate in the battle again?" ”

"That's exactly what it means!" Wei Yue hurriedly took advantage of the situation to speak. "Mr. Ziheng, it is rumored in the army that once Zhang Bao is down, the army will take advantage of the situation to disband, and everyone will be rewarded for their merits...... When the time comes, most of these people will have to be transferred to various places as officials, but only us and Bai Ma Yicong will follow the prince...... If, then, what is the use of righteousness leaving so many strangers out of it? Moreover, doesn't Mr. Ziheng think that there will be too many people in Jizhou in this way? In my opinion, it is enough for the old pawns and Youzhou villagers to be in Youzhou! ”

"In your opinion?" Lu Fan laughed for a moment. "You Wei Zidu has grown a lot."

Wei Yue was embarrassed for a while, but fortunately, Yuyang Ying overtook a goal in the stadium, which caused a cheer, but let him take advantage of the situation to think about it for a while, and then he gave it all up:

"Don't hide it from Mr. Ziheng, but after the intention of the prince to expand the white horse righteousness spread, the people of the township in Hezhou were eager to try, but they saw that there were many heroes in Hebei in the army, so they were interested in asking me what ......was going on."

"Then I won't hide it from you." Lu Fan said frankly. "This recruitment expands the righteous servants, and it is indeed necessary to choose more people from Jizhou, you have the bottom in your heart, don't talk nonsense when you go back."

"This ......" Wei Yue hesitated for a moment.

"You are also an old man who followed the prince when Yanmen was in Pingcheng, don't you know my temperament?" Lu Fan said disapprerovitically. "If you have anything to say, why bother?"

"I don't have any doubts about the decision of the prince and the gentlemen, since you have decided so much, you think you have to think about it. It's just Mr. Ziheng," Wei Yue said in a sudden low voice. "The only thing I'm worried about is that there are more and more people in Jizhou around the prince, will it make the trial of the southern trial Sima more important? He is already domineering, but he is still a convincing person, if there are so many villagers to help him, will it have an impact on you, Mr. Ziheng? ”

Lu Fan looked at Wei Yue with interest, but he couldn't help but sneer: "Wei Zidu, I'll say it bluntly, if I deliberately suppress Yu Zhengnan in this kind of thing, then it will be a chance for him to replace him...... As for the current situation, let's let the trial Sima first press Sima and then come to me to find trouble! And you Wei Zidu, instead of being asked by the villagers all day long, it is better to learn from Gao Sima and become Sima, that is the person who can lead the soldiers as a minion! ”

With that, Lu Ziheng got up with his hands in his hands and walked away, leaving Wei Yue to be messy for a while in the north wind blowing from the Hutuo River.

At the same time, in the Keju field below, the Hejian team took advantage of the sudden start of the north wind and actually overtook the score again, causing the whole army to shout in unison, either cheering or scolding.

Wei Yue had no choice but to sit back and join the ranks of scolding.

Lu Fan left from the court, turned straight to the Chinese army, and then went up to the dirt mountain, and went to the big tent of the Chinese army to find Gongsun Xun, but unexpectedly saw Wang Xiu and Zao You leading several military officials to come with a pile of account books, so they stopped to greet him.

"Brother Ziheng, wait a minute." After some greetings, Wang Xiu couldn't help reminding. "When we came out, a messenger had just arrived from the north, and he must have brought a letter from home......"

Lu Fan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but quickly reacted: "Fan Yang's family letters are mostly collective exchanges, and they were just delivered together the day before yesterday...... You and I have to shy away from it. ”

Wang Xiu also sighed softly: "The old lady's letter is indeed very evasive, and the prince seems to have waited for a long time for the old lady's reply. ”

Lu Fan bowed his head slowly: "When our prince encounters real major events, most of them discuss with the old lady, but it makes us private ministers and scribes feel ashamed...... But I had to obey it. ”

"Dare to ask Brother Ziheng." Wang Xiu and Lu Fan tacitly acquiesced, and what they said was obscure, and the jujube next to them really couldn't bear it, so they opened their mouths and asked. "Is the old lady also involved in political planning? I thought that the old lady would only be involved in the business of the Amway. ”

"What's more than political planning?" Lu Fan said quietly. "The prince once said that if the old lady was a man, I am afraid that the world would have been a different scene long ago, and now most of the things in Liaodong are controlled by the old lady...... In addition, Wen Gong, do you know that there are many characters in the Junhou Scene, such as Lou Zibo (Lou Gui), Yang Zizhang (Yang Kai), Wei Zidu (Wei Yue), and of course, the protector Sima (Gongsun Yue), if the old lady has an order, I am afraid that she will obey her orders immediately. ”

"Fortunately, the prince is the only son of the old lady, and the old lady is the widow of the prince, and the two are one, but they complement each other." Wang Xiu said suddenly.

"That's just as well." Lu Fan laughed for a moment. It's just that as a Chinese of the scene, I am quite ashamed of the old lady's insight...... But it's also a good thing after all. ”

Wang Xiu bowed slightly, bowed and left, and Zao Yi hurriedly followed.

Lu Ziheng stood on the side of Tushan, looking at the other party's back gradually moving away, and heard the noise in the stadium not far away, he couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and then went to the camp of the Chinese army on Tushan.

"Wen Qi, I heard Wang Shuzhi say that there is a letter from home?" opened the tent and entered, seeing that there was no third person, Lu Fan simply did as usual. "The letter at this time, could it be the old lady?"

"Yes, yes." Gongsun Xun, who was sitting behind a few cases, was looking down and drawing in a circle on a list, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words. "It's a letter from my mother."

Lu Fan was silent for a while, but when he sat on a maza, he quickly couldn't bear it anymore: "Has the letter been read so quickly?" Aren't the old lady's letters always extremely long? ”

Gongsun Xun raised his head when he heard this, and looked at Lu Fan who couldn't hold it back, and couldn't help but chuckle: "This time my mother's letter is only one sentence, and there is no guidance or explanation, it is not so much a letter as a note, I burned it after reading it...... It disappointed Ziheng. ”

Lu Fan wanted to speak and stopped.

"You and I are called monarchs and ministers, and we are really close friends and friends, why can't we say it?" Gongsun Xun continued to bow his head and sketch the names of people, not caring at all.

"What did the old lady say in her letter?" Lu Fan gritted his teeth and asked. "Liaodong has worked so hard so far, but the old lady only sent one sentence...... In my opinion, the shorter the statement, the more important it is. ”

"Nothing." Gongsun Xun said frankly. "If you want to listen, I'll just tell you."

"I want to hear about it."

"If Wu'er can say this, he can indeed fight for the world." Gongsun Xun calmly recounted, and then raised his eyes with interest to look at his chief confidant. "That's it."

Lu Ziheng was suddenly at a loss and stood up straight, he almost instinctively looked outside the tent, but he came to his senses again, couldn't help but lean forward, and asked in a low voice:

"Then Wenqi, how did you write a letter to the old lady?"

"After the war, I wrote a lot of words to my mother here." Gongsun Xun said disapprerovitically. "From the tragedy of the Great War to the bravery of Zhang He, from the decline of the Yellow Turban to the dispute between the customs and the trial, from the imprisonment of Wang Zishi (Wang Yun) to the fall of Zhang Chun...... It's not a big deal. However, my mother's reply is probably in response to the last words of my letter. ”

"What do you feel?" Lu Fan was still nervous.

"I sighed," Gongsun Xun suddenly got up and said. "Since the day from Liaodong to Handan Order, to today's Yellow Turban Rebellion, I have gone through several years, transferred to three places, three wars, what I have seen and heard, I only feel that the decline of the Han Dynasty is really a reason! For example, the merger of the powerful has caused the homesteaders to go bankrupt one after another, and the displaced people have been diversified; For example, Confucianism and scripture gradually became the only ladder for officials, and it was impossible to get up and down, which made Haoqiang gradually resentful of the Han family; For example, the Son of Heaven, eunuchs and princesses are unrestrained; For example, the unrest of the alien races in the frontier is difficult to settle...... Of course, this yellow turban incident is also indispensable to add to the fire! ”

Lu Fan was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to interface at all.

"I'll say it at the end." Gongsun Xun continued. "Among these things, the turmoil in the frontier and the chaos of the witch cult are really the places where chaos erupts, and most of them are accidental; The ** and court disputes between the emperors, eunuchs, and ministers in the court are the crux of the wound; As for the merger of the powerful and the loss of the upper and lower passages, it is the fundamental disease of the world that has fallen to today's scene...... For many years since I became an adult, my mother has rarely praised me so much...... What does Ziheng think? ”

Lu Fan thought for a moment, but he was still confused, so he could only shake his head slowly: "Let's not talk about the words in the old lady's letter and Wen Qi's original intention...... Don't say anything to fight for the world, if you want to fight, I will fight with you...... It's just Wen Qi's words, I, I really can only understand three points! ”

"That's right." Gongsun Xun disturbed the other party's back, and pressed his hand on the other party's shoulder and said. "That's why I have to rely on my mother, even if you are Ziheng, you can only dare to say that you know three points!"

At this point, Gongsun Xunfu went around again, picked up the list on several cases and handed it to the other party: "Take the list, and Chang Shanying will invite them to join the righteous according to this...... It's a pity that there is no one with a similar life to my wife. ”

Lu Fan lost his soul and turned out to be on the list, so he walked out, and before leaving the tent, he couldn't help but press down all his thoughts, and turned around and said, "Wen Qi! ”

"What?" Gongsun Xun had already sat down again and picked up another list.

"The north wind is already blowing today, and the weather is going to be cold." Lu Fan reminded seriously. "Zhang Bao should also take it!"

"Since it's cold, let Zhang Bao die!" Gongsun Xun suddenly woke up. "The day after tomorrow Kemari finals...... If you go to find Guo Taishou, it will be launched on the day after tomorrow, and the provincial influence army sergeant is in a mood! ”

Lu Fan retreated.

And when he walked out of the tent, the autumn wind was blowing, and Lu Ziheng, who was sweating half of his body, heard a faint sigh from behind him: "As the saying goes, if you want to say goodbye, but the weather is cool for a good autumn." ”

Still don't understand!
