Chapter Twenty-Six: Far Away
Push the book, "The Tang Festival" ...... Recently, there are few historical texts of the Anshi Rebellion period...... Well, I'm betting on five cents, the author is a cute boy.
ββββββI'm a dividing lineββββββ
Autumn has completely arrived, and the previous windy weather has stopped, and the military camp outside Pingcheng in Yanmen County (near the left side of Datong in later generations) is recruiting.
Thanks to Gongsun Xun's action of returning the cattle after crossing the Yellow River, and the fact that once the recruitment was successful, there would be rations to receive immediately, these immigrants from Wuyuan County, who were originally half-army, half-civilian, half-agricultural and half-herding, really had many people who came to recruit with horses and bows. I don't dare to say that there will be a song of cavalry, but no matter how you talk about it, the shelves have been pulled up.
According to the previous assumption, Gongsun Xun was originally going to personally record these newly recruited soldiers, grasp their information, and show kindness. But this trip to Wuyuan touched him a lot.
In fact, in addition to the necessary physical exercises, after returning from Wuyuan, Gongsun Xun would rather put a small horse on the loess gatehouse with a flag at the gate of the camp most of the time, and then sit for a long time, thinking about some messy things, rather than bothering to do this kind of superficial work.
"Wen Qi." As the curtain on the second floor of the tulou behind him was lifted, Lu Ziheng walked out with his sleeves caged and a decrepit face, but he couldn't help but ask the question again that he had asked me I don't know how many times. "Will Liu Gongzhen help?"
"Yes!" Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the maza, replied so crisply.
"Liu Gong, this person ......," Lu Fan still shook his head again and again. Even if he is a captain, he is afraid that he doesn't want to mess with this kind of thing, right? β
"It depends on whose business." Gongsun Xun looked at the crowd gathered at the gate of the camp because of the recruited soldiers, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he didn't know whether it was complacent or mocking. "Since it's my business, I'm afraid he'll have to mess with it."
"I know that Gong Liu values Wen Qi very much." Lu Fan leaned against the wall of the tulou and chatted with the other party...... In other words, it is obviously a tulou that has only been built for a few months, but after being blown by the north wind, it looks extremely dilapidated, which shows Lu Ziheng's worries more and more. "But when it comes to him, he is principled in being a man and an official, don't say Wen Qi, you are just a student, I'm afraid that even his own son Liu Song is not good."
"You're crooked." Gongsun Xun squinted his eyes and looked at the official road in the distance and smiled. "The reason why I am so confident is precisely because I know that I am a teacher who does not want to cause trouble......"
"What does that mean?"
"What can you mean?" Gongsun Xun looked back and smiled. "Although my teacher is confused, he is very clear in his heart...... In the first place, he will always know who is right and who is wrong in this matter, and if he really gets into trouble, where to stand and where not to stand; Second, he must be more aware of my father-in-law Wenqi's character and personality, and know better than anyone else that if he doesn't push me according to my wishes, then I will definitely be able to turn this matter upside down! When the time comes, it won't be the word 'provoking' that can be used as a bargain! β
Lu Fan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say...... However, Lu Ziheng also understands Gongsun Xun's ability to cause trouble, so after hearing this crooked reasoning, he finally has a little more confidence in his ears.
"In that case." After leaning for a moment, Lu Fan paced behind the other party and asked in a low voice. "How does Wen Qi think the Liu Guild can help?"
"He won't take care of the case." Gongsun Xun laughed. "But it's okay to recommend talents for the country and urge the imperial court to release a term and assassinate the state as soon as possible."
Lu Fan immediately understood.
In other words, because the power and responsibility of the assassin in a state are extremely heavy, most people subconsciously think that the assassin is an administrative official and a superior of Taishou...... This is actually a major misunderstanding.
After all, in the Han and Qin systems, the administrative division was a standard county system, and there was never such a thing as a state, county, or county system.
So what is the state? The answer is that it was part of the imperial court surveillance system.
The so-called supervision system is naturally the inspectors sent from above, who are responsible for monitoring the merits and mistakes of relevant administrative personnel within a range, and then check the completion of relevant work, and accept reports or commendations on their behalf.
In fact, not only will the state send 'assassins' to supervise the work of several counties in a state, but the county will also send 'postal inspectors' to supervise the work of several counties, not to mention the officials of the central government and the capital region......
In short, the people of this system are typical low positions and weights in the Han Dynasty, for example, the superintendent who can decide whether to stay in Qianshi County may be only a small official of 100 stones, and the assassin who can scare 2,000 Shi Taishou and can't sleep is the starting point of 600 Shi, the court official, and even the Sili Lieutenant who is responsible for supervising the capital and the central government is only the lowest level of 2,000 stones, that is, 2,000 stones.
However, these people ultimately represent the authority of their superiors, and they have great power and responsibility...... For example, the history of thorns, now there are financial and military powers, as well as the original judicial investigation rights and work review rights, after a long time, people unconsciously regard the history of 600 stones as high as 2,000 stones, or even surpass.
It is even said that there is such a strange phenomenon now, saying that if any assassin Shi performs too well, it will be to quickly promote him to two thousand stones; And if any of the assassins perform too badly, the best way to deal with it is nothing else, and it is to quickly promote him to a position of 2,000 stones.
For example, Gongsun Xun's theoretical boss made Xianbei Zhonglang Zang Min now rank more than 2,000 stones, and he was promoted to Yangzhou Thorn Shi who performed well during his tenure!
And when he returned to the front, hearing Gongsun Xun say this, Lu Fan also nodded slowly, but finally felt that Liu Kuan was really likely to help...... After all, if you help in this way, it won't affect the image of the elderly in the high seas anyway.
"But Wenqi." Lu Fan suddenly couldn't help but sigh again. "I still don't understand that this kind of thing is bothered and laborious to do it, and it won't benefit us, right? Seeing your attitude like this before, it seems that you are really angry, and I can't persuade ......."
"You don't have to persuade anymore." Gongsun Xun pointed to the immigrant crowd in front of him and said calmly. "Since ancient times, and even in the future, the so-called heroic characters have mostly regarded the low-level leaders as nothing, and people like me who have been angry for them will not be believed by others no matter what...... Besides, I'm not without selfishness. In this case, it is better to ignore it and do everything for yourself. β
Lu Fan was immediately silent.
Just when the two of them were sitting on the camp gate tower and talking some gossip, a few horses suddenly galloped on the official road in the distance, Gongsun Xun and Lu Fan looked at each other, and then suddenly looked at each other, and then walked downstairs together.
"Thank you." Gongsun Xun carried a water bag that he took out of the camp building and picked up the horses at the camp gate.
"Shaojun." The leader was Jia Chao, and I saw him sweating profusely and turning over and dismounting, and he didn't even have time to pick up the water bag, so he hurriedly reported something. "I went to Luoyang to deliver a letter to Duke Liu, and after only two days he told me that I could come back, saying that the imperial court had appointed a new assassin of the state...... I will continue to stay in Luozhong according to your instructions, and I will only come back directly after Fan Gongzi inquires about the origin of this new assassin history!" However, this assassination history came very quickly, and a few of us waited in Luozhong for another three days, and we actually met this person's honor guard in the Gaodu of Shangdang County (later Jincheng). β
"Is it a soldier who is fast?" Gongsun Xun became more and more impatient when he heard this, and continued to ask at the gate of this camp. "So where did this man come from? You should have heard about your origin, your master, and your experience, right? β
"Yes! Hui Yu Shaojun, this person is a Western Liang person, but was born in Yingchuan, before the Qiang Rebellion was recruited as a Lang official, and then under Zhang Huan in Liangzhou Sanming, he fought in Bingzhou, served as Sima of other departments, and then accumulated merit and transferred to the Guangwu County Commander of Yanmen County, the Northern Governor of Shu County, and the Wuji Lieutenant of the Western Regions, speaking of which has touched the threshold of two thousand stones, and then was dismissed from his post because he killed too many people in dealing with the chaos in the Western Regions...... A few years ago, he had just been recruited by Situ Yuan Kui to serve as a soldier Cao Rafter, and this time it was Yuan Kui who recommended him to take office. β
Gongsun Xun's face was stunned, but he couldn't help sneering: "It turned out to be a protΓ©gΓ© of the Yuan family, did the Yuan family also start recruiting people from the border counties?" What's your name? β
Jia Chao was just about to pick up the water bag, but when he heard the words, he hurriedly reported his name again: "The surname is Dong Mingzhuo, and the word is Zhongying!" β
Gongsun Xun immediately changed color, and the water bag in his hand fell directly to the ground, and the water in the bag splashed all over the ground.
"Shaojun!"
"Wenqi?"
Everyone on the side was stunned, and Jia Chao even bowed down to ask for sin.
"It doesn't matter." Gongsun Xun came back to his senses, lowered his head and smiled and picked up the water bag again. "It's me who missed, the water is already cold, you go to the camp and drink some hot soup......
"Whoa." Jia Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly bowed his head and agreed.
"Stay!" However, before he could take two steps, Gongsun Xun suddenly stopped the other party again. "You said that this person is extremely fast, if according to his marching speed, after entering the state, he does not stop at the party without asking about official business, then where should he go at this time?"
"Hui Shaojun, there are two roads from the party to Taiyuan, according to my estimate, if you take the west road, you will already reach Qi County, and if you take the east road, you will have to go to Yangyi......"
"In short, it must have arrived in Taiyuan County at this time?"
"If you don't stop in the party, it must be so!"
Gongsun Xun nodded slowly, and finally let the other party go.
"Wen Qi," as soon as several knights who had been traveling long distances left, Lu Fan immediately became agitated. "It's Yuan's protΓ©gΓ©, not Liu's protΓ©gΓ©, I don't know what to say?"
"Perhaps!" Gongsun Xun shook his head with a smile. "But it doesn't matter what you say, because this Dong Zhongying is not a good stubble herself! In my opinion, he was so fast, I am afraid that he came for this matter...... And if you look at it from this point of view, this Zhang is going to go home and be his Qinghe celebrity! β
Lu Fan became more and more confused when he heard this: "Isn't Wen Qi familiar with this new Uncle Fang?" β
"God has been friends for a long time."
"You don't recognize it?" Lu Fan was speechless. "In that case, where did you come from to make such a judgment?"
"Let's go!" As he spoke, Gongsun Xun didn't say much, but suddenly threw the water bag he had just picked up in his hand into the other party's arms, and then turned around with a knife and strode towards the camp.
"Where to go?" Lu Ziheng reluctantly followed behind with a water bag and asked.
"Ziheng's equestrian skills are not good, so you don't have to go this time, just stay in the camp to deal with the chores." Gongsun Xun replied without replying. "I brought two or three guards and rode to Taiyuan to welcome the new Uncle Fang!"
"The commander of the garrison is not allowed to leave the county boundary without the approval of two thousand stones!" Lu Fan became more and more anxious.
"My army is still recruiting at the gate!" Gongsun Xun sneered from afar. "Where did the garrison come from? Besides, Dong Zhongying values me so much, how can my father-in-law Sun Xun not go out to greet me? β
Lu Fan was stunned on the spot.
"At the end of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, the son of the good family of the six counties was Yulin Lang. (Dong) is talented and martial, the brigade strength is less than that, with two belts and two swords, and he shoots left and right. For the military Sima, from the Lang will Zhang Huan Zheng and the state meritorious, worship Langzhong, give 9,000 horses, Zhuo Xi to share with the officials. Qianguang military order, the northern lieutenant of Shu County, the lieutenant of Wuji in the Western Regions, exempted. At the end of Xiping, the history of the state was conquered, and the nine counties were patrolled with festivals! ββ"The Biography of Dong Zhuo". Chen Zhi
