Chapter 18: Decision-making (II)
"Young lady," the maid who was watching from afar hurriedly turned around and went into the room to report. "They left, but the 'mushroom king' was attracted by Han County. β
Zhao Yun was silent when she heard this, but she picked up a book in her hand again, and then pillowed back to the fat cat behind her: "It's okay...... Lang Jun is the county magistrate of a large county of ten thousand households, and all kinds of things are complicated, so don't bother. And it's just a matter of meeting a person, and it should be a result soon...... You don't have to reciprocate anything. β
The maids brought back from Luoyang hurriedly bowed and retreated.
"But Gongsun Xun has really gone straight to the point with a black face. "I respect you as an elder, so I treat you with courtesy, but why do you push back? You are the patriarch of a small Goguryeo country who has lost power, and I am a Qianshi county commander who has fulfilled my duties, so I don't know who is stronger than whom......"
"It's not a matter of being strong or not." Dumb and worried, he replied in a low voice. "Gongsun County Jun, I naturally know that your Han is a hundred times stronger than our Goguryeo, but this matter is a matter of life and death for my clan, if I can't see enough possibilities, I will never dare to dig my heart and lungs."
"My mother is the only son of mine, and my father-in-law, the Taishou of Liaoxi and the governor of Liaodong, is also the only son-in-law...... Do you think I'm really powerless? Gongsun Xun asked with a dark face. If I make up my mind to make this great achievement, will our Liaodong Gao Taishou really not give me face? And you can worry about it, you took the initiative to mention this matter in the banquet before, didn't you say that you could hear it to me, or did you say it to my mother? β
Dumb and dumb, he also sighed for a while: "I don't hide it from Gongsun County, what I said at the banquet yesterday was actually said to Gongsun Yu Taishou to listen, and the county gentleman came out to make me a little surprised." β
Gongsun Xun was stunned for a while, but his face did not change.
"Actually, this time I went to Xuansu County to find help from the beginning, after all, the soldiers and horses there are strong, and they are mostly connected with Goguryeo, and they know the geography and inside information. But unfortunately, I just arrived in Xuansu County to know that the place has just changed Taishou, and now the new Juteng Ju Taishou I don't know at all, and I don't know anyone who wants to come, so I have no choice but to turn south, on the one hand, it is indeed to visit the old man, on the other hand, I want to say that the old Taishou of Gongsun Yu is moving, and ask him to urge his protΓ©gΓ© and old officials, so that the situation on Xuansu's side has changed, and it is best to have one or two other Sima who are willing to come out, or simply persuade the drama Taishou. β
At this point, he was dumb and worried, and said calmly: "Our Goguryeo people are small and weak, and many people are a little confused about where the subject countries of Liaoxi and Liaodong are, and those who know are nothing more than Liaodong, Lelang, Xuansu and the Buyeo people in the north plus Xianbei in the west, among them, Xuansu County is divided between our Goguryeo and Buyeo by military affairs, and there are frequent battles, so the soldiers and horses there are very famous in our Goguryeo, if you want to deter the domestic situation, you still have to take Xuansu County first." β
Is this what it means to only recognize the iron axe and not the gold axe? Gongsun Xun lost his mind for a while, but soon he adjusted his mentality and asked:
"My brother, who has been in office for ten years, is he still powerful in Xuansu?"
"It's natural," said Dumb Concern. "For example, Sima Xu Rong, another department stationed in Xigaima (later Fushun), this person has more than 1,500 cavalry, which accounts for the number of Xuanwu soldiers and horses, and is at the junction of our Goguryeo and Buyeo...... As far as I know, both Xu Rong and his son have received the great favor of Gongsun Taishou, and his father was promoted to a Sima of another ministry during Gongsun Taishou's tenure, and Xu Rong himself went to be a county official at that time. To tell the truth, even if you don't understand it, it is feasible for this person to move. β
"Xu Rong......" Gongsun Xun thought for a while, but suddenly asked. But now, although my brother knows it, he is obviously old and decrepit, and he doesn't want to cause more trouble, but my grandson Xun wants to do this...... If Xu Rong really respects my clan brother so much, it is useless for you to come and ask for it, if I go and ask for it, this army of soldiers and horses can be held in my hands...... In such a situation, what can I say? β
Dumb and worried, he bowed his head and was speechless for a while.
After a long time, he raised his head and asked, "How many soldiers does Gongsun County Jun have?" β
"Xu Rong has 1,500 elite Han cavalry, and I have 1,200 Han infantry here," Gongsun Xun replied unashamedly. "Such a number of elite Han troops can summon the Duozahu tribe, don't you know? Or do you think that my Amway has no money and cannot be summoned? β
"That being the case," said the dumb and dumb man with a hideous face, propping up the cases in front of him. "The state system has been completely destroyed by Ming Lin Dafu, and I am dumb and dumb to be the patriarch of the Guanna tribe, and I should serve the country!"
"Don't talk about that," Gongsun Xun asked with a frown. "But how many soldiers do you have?"
"I'll be outspoken." To this day, the patriarch of the Guanna tribe no longer hides it. "There are three main places in my power, the first is naturally the power of the Guanna clan, but they are extremely scattered, and they are everywhere, I am afraid that they can only pass on some news......"
"Didn't the other three clans resist?" Gongsun Xun was puzzled.
"There must be." Dumb and honest. "There are many people who hate me so much, but they are generally narrow-minded, and they only know how to go around in Goguryeo, and there are not many who are proficient in Chinese like me, and they know some of the overall situation, so they don't dare to contact rashly; In fact, if the Han army suddenly entered the border, although they hated Dafu very much, they might also fight to the death against the Han army according to the military order! β
Gongsun Xun's face suddenly ...... is still a group of patriots, and the powerful ministers of their own country can only kill themselves, but what is this Confucian dressed dumb and dumb?
"But the county gentleman doesn't have to worry," the dumb and dumb obviously misunderstood the other party's expression, so he hurriedly explained. "I also have a team in China...... As long as the county ruler can overcome the original defense line, and then break through our old capital, Susheng Bone City, then cross the Hunjiang River, and the troops will come to Ji'an City, as long as there is a deterrence, I can calmly control the situation in the country, and this matter will be over......"
"I see, the soldiers are coming to the city, and the people's hearts are in turmoil." Gongsun Xun bowed slightly. "You can sit on the original fortress, how can you go down?"
"I will try my best to tie up Ming Lin Dafu in the national capital, and prevent him from supporting me, and then if possible, I will try to open one or two key dock forts for the county monarch."
"You just said three places, where is the other power?"
"Don't hide it from the county gentleman," the dumb and dumb couldn't help but bow his head and reply. "I still have a Buyeo force to use, not much, about a thousand people ......"
Gongsun Xun was immediately speechless: "Didn't the Buyeo people and you Goguryeo people play out dog brains?" β
"After all, they are of the same race." The mushroom king said frankly. "When I was in charge of the state before, I had some minds, and I was gentle with the Buyeo people, but I also had a good reputation there, so there were people who were willing to help......
"The military is enough, you just say what can you give me after the deed is done?!" Gongsun Xun thought for a moment, and then interrupted the other party's narration abruptly.
"The county gentleman is young, and what he wants should be merit first, otherwise there is no need to forcibly meddle in this matter." The dumb and dumb were also refreshed, and then they gave up. "Needless to say, if it is done, the puppet king set up by the minister will naturally be abolished, and then the new king will officially pay tribute to the Han Dynasty after he ascends the throne, and then return the place where he sat to Fuyu, and the two countries ...... No, the Three Kingdoms, on this border calmly, and directly to the Han Emperor's recital, this matter of setting things right, abolishing the old and establishing the new, must only be the work of the county monarch. β
"It's okay to cede the land and call it a vassal, but who is the new king?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sneer. "Could it be that the mushroom king who used to joke about it is really going to be king?"
"I'm old, how can I be king?" Dumb and worried, he said with his chest straight. "But my son is dumb and dumb, but Tan is eighteen years old, intelligent, and well-known in the country......"
"If it weren't for the dumb and dumb Ketan to be the new king, otherwise I wouldn't be able to guarantee that the vassals would cede the land, and it would be difficult to guarantee my merits on the national credentials, right?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing. "But I can worry about the princess, although our family has a big business, but things are not blown by the wind, let's not say anything about the defeat, if it is done, all the soldiers and soldiers will be born and die for the throne of your family, and the bereavement and rewards will not let me pay for the money, right?"
But after thinking about it for a while, he simply nodded: "This is a trivial matter, if it is done, the bereavement rewards will come from my family!" β
"The deal has been completed," Hearing this, Gongsun Xun suddenly said in a solemn voice. "It's okay to visit friends for two or three days, but it's not appropriate for the public to stay in Xiangping for a long time, so as not to be suspicious of Minglin's husband, you clean up tonight, and go out of the city and return to your hometown early tomorrow morning!"
"I know what matters." Ke Ji got up and saluted. "At that time, I will take the North Road detour through the Buyeo people to the details of the traffic with the county monarch, and I also ask the county monarch to gather troops here as soon as possible and say goodbye!"
Gongsun Xun raised his hand slightly, and Han Dang, who had been standing in the shadows, flashed out and sent the other party back with a knife.
It's been three watches at night, Zhao Yun is still reading with the fat cat on her pillow, and she is already reading a new book, but the book hasn't turned two pages, and she finally gets impatient: "Hasn't the mushroom king left yet?" β
"Returning to the young lady," the maid outside the door hurriedly ran in in a panic. "The Mushroom King is already gone."
"That husband is discussing things with Lieutenant Han?" Zhao Yun frowned and asked.
"No," replied the maid, bowing her head again. "County Lieutenant Han also sent the mushroom king a long time ago and didn't come back...... The county gentleman has been sitting alone behind the table in the courtyard until now! β
Zhao Yunden stood up and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?" β
The maid was speechless for a moment.
Zhao Yun then remembered that she didn't allow others to report again, and this was not the time to pursue the matter after all, so she picked up a coat and went straight outside to find her husband.
Sure enough, I saw that under the stars and moon, the courtyard was scattered and in a mess, but her husband Gongsun Xun did not avoid the cold wind at night, and only sat upright on the top seat, closing his eyes and recuperating, as if he was waiting for someone.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun was distressed and angry, so he hurriedly stepped forward to put on clothes for the other party: "Lang Jun is sitting here, is he waiting for the stars and the moon to descend to earth, or is he waiting for the autumn wind to turn into a beauty to serve?" I've been hearing a lot of stories like this from my mother lately......"
Gongsun Xun opened his eyes and took advantage of the situation to hold the other party's hands: "I was originally turned into a stubborn stone in Yiwulu Mountain, and I waited for a fairy grass to come back to life and turn into a beautiful woman to come down to save me...... Is the fairy here to save me? β
Zhao Yun was speechless, her complexion changed and changed, first she couldn't cry or laugh, but her face turned crimson: "Is Lang Jun actually waiting for me here?" β
"There are indeed two difficult things that I want Madame to help me with, so I am here to wait for Madame." Gongsun said frankly. "Don't hide it from Ah Yun, I don't know if this matter is a public matter or a private matter...... If you rush into it, it is quite a bit of a feeling of entertaining people with sex in exchange for giving, so I will wait here. β
Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing: "Now that you want to find me to do things, can you actually entertain people?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"Well, that's how to entertain people." Zhao Yun said helplessly. "What's the matter, you can talk about it quickly, let's go back to the room to rest, it's too cold here."
"Don't tell your mother." Gongsun Xun shook his wife's hand and said with a straight face.
"It has to be." Zhao Yun became more and more helpless. "Something is going on."
"I'd like to ask my father-in-law for a favor......"
"What is this...... Let's get in quickly. β
"You can write to your grandmother and ask her to talk to your father-in-law, otherwise your father-in-law may not agree to ......."
"Hurry inside!"
