Imperial power is a very mysterious thing.

It is a kind of people's hearts based on the cohesion of the system, which can set off a bloody storm at any time when it is effective, and it is the same thing when it is ineffective, and the process of transformation is extremely subtle and fast.

It was only a few months ago, when the Son of Heaven's condition was not obvious, although everyone in the world was eager to let this Son of Heaven get out, the really smart people still knew that Wang Fen's abolition was absolutely nonsense, and the probability of success was extremely low!

But soon, as the Son of Heaven's illness was revealed, although he was not dead, the hearts of the people were immediately shaken. And with the general's challenge to the Son of Heaven, or the success of seizing power, everyone immediately lost their feelings for the Son of Heaven who was still alive and sober in Beigong, but they all felt relieved, and even many people followed suit......

However, when 100,000 Liangzhou rebels poured out of that corner of Liangzhou and tried to seize the western capital of Chang'an, everything became delicate again...... The fear of the cowardly people for the rebels in Liangzhou, and the fear of the loyal people about the consequences of the fall of Chang'an, instead gave new political vitality to the son of heaven on the hospital bed.

An orthodox emperor who has reigned for more than 20 years, under the banner of defending the division, can make any political decision, and no one can refuse!

Because that's Chang'an, that's Guanzhong, that's the lifeblood of the Han Dynasty!

Chang'an is 600 miles away from Luoyang, and Tongguan is 400 miles away from Luoyang.

But in fact, this number cannot accurately describe the real distance between the two, because the Guanzhong Plain, that is, the Weihe Plain, is a flat river and is one. From a military point of view, once the rebels occupy Guanzhong, then the distance of 400 miles from Tongguan to Luoyang will be meaningless. Because the rebels will hold the Xiongguan and occupy the land of physical victory, while Luoyang will have no danger to defend.

Therefore, no one can shoulder this political responsibility except for an orthodox emperor who is dying, and neither can He Jin...... He has not killed a pig for many years, and he has been pampered for many years, and I heard that he has gradually gained weight, where does he have this strength?

Correspondingly, Zhang Rang Chaoshuo's strategy can be called to the point.

The first to go was Gai Xun, who was appointed as the county guard of Jing Zhaoyin, the county where Chang'an was located, and went west to defend against the rebels.

There was no way, Zhang Rang and a group of old servants were very sober, they knew in their hearts that the Son of Heaven was not in good health after all, and this was not the time to show his face to attract hatred, so he picked up the young Jian Shuo and asked him to really come forward to do this under the pretext of protecting the second son of the emperor, Liu Xie.

As for Jian Shuo himself, Gai Xun is the most direct political opponent emotionally, because this Liangzhou person is competing with him for the favor of the Son of Heaven.

When Gai Xun received the will, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue...... It's not that he is afraid of the Liangzhou rebels, nor is he unwilling to stop the rebels, in fact, he knows the Liangzhou rebels well and is willing to serve them. But time is too sensitive, and what really makes it difficult for him, a loyal man in Liangzhou, to accept is that at the last moment, this son of heaven still chose eunuch Jianshuo as the guarantor of the aftermath, instead of him Gai Yuangu.

Just imagine, if there was no nod from the Son of Heaven, how could Shang Shutai honestly follow the procedure to draft the purpose?

Gai Xun didn't accept the order, nor did he refuse on the spot, he just tried to go to the West Garden to meet the Son of Heaven, but he couldn't enter, but the little yellow gate who passed the decree followed him to the West Garden, and asked him to receive the edict quickly...... And Gai Yuangu is not Gongsun Xun after all, so just like the yang ball who kowtowed in front of the palace many years ago, he couldn't help but be called in the end!

In this way, the military affairs were urgent, and the new Jingzhao Yin Gaixun lost his soul and took over the holy decree on the same day, so he hurried to Chang'an. Before leaving, the person did not say a word, just looked up to the sky and sighed, and then beat the horse away, which made the person who heard the news feel very depressed.

Everyone knows that the eunuch reactivated the sharp blade of imperial power by resisting the political correctness of the Xiliang rebels, and he tried it with a small knife and was a great success!

The next target is not Gongsun Xun and Yuan Shao, but the general He Jin - the reason is very simple, whether Gongsun Xun or Yuan Shao, the reason why they can have the confidence to argue with the Son of Heaven here or openly or secretly at this time, in the final analysis, there is still a sign of the general to shield them from the wind and rain, and the existence of the general makes part of the legitimacy of the imperial power of the Han family transferred to the north palace.

And after listening carefully to Jian Shuo's explanation of his plan on the sickbed, the Son of Heaven made his choice almost immediately...... Because he is really worried about his young son Liu Xie!

Liu Xie is less than ten years old this year, smart and cute, and has a good relationship with his brother Liu Wei, so he doesn't have to worry about fratricide. But as a person in the same bed, the Son of Heaven knows too well what kind of person his queen, the mother of the emperor's eldest son Liu Bian, and the sister of General He, Empress He! If there is no arrangement, then Liu Xie will be killed by Queen He nine times out of ten, just like she easily killed Liu Xie's biological mother Wang Meiren back then.

Previously, Dong Chong, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, who raised Liu Xie, was appointed as the general of the hussars, and Jian Shuo was asked to form the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, of course, in order to suppress the general He Jin, but why suppress him, not so that Liu Xie could survive properly?

A man is dying, or such a selfish person is dying, and what can make him worry about his two sons is his own.

It may be just an impulse and some kind of backup plan, and having both children is the fundamental wish.

It was based on this psychology that the Son of Heaven soon summoned the Huangmen squire, and then issued an edict in public, asking the general to lead troops to Guanzhong to reject the Xiliang rebels.

The holy will of the Son of Heaven is above board and irrefutable, and the edict is not in a hurry or slow, and it is transferred to Shangshutai after the Huangmen Supervisor, and the Shangshutai formally drafts the decree after review, and then the Huangmen Supervisor takes over, preparing to officially hold the festival and convey it to the general early the next morning.

In fact, before the will was officially drafted, He Jin, who had already controlled Shang Shutai, learned the news, and then was at a loss...... Because he could not refuse this will!

As a general who commands the world's soldiers and horses, how can he refuse to defend Chang'an?

If he really does that, I'm afraid that half of his legitimacy as a general will be lost immediately, but Luozhong is in such a situation, the ghost knows how long the Son of Heaven can last, and at this time, isn't he giving up everything before to Jian Shuo?

"What can I do?"

In a panic, General He convened the wise and resourceful people in the curtain and under his command overnight to discuss the matter.

At this time, He Jin had too many resourceful people under him, and there were probably these names and surnames:

Changshi Wang Qian (2nd and 3rd Dukes); Chief Bookkeeper Chen Lin; Sima Xu Liang (the initiator of the parade); engaged in Zhonglang Wang Yun; Commander Bian Rang (Yang Jun's Division); The General's Mansion Peng - Kuai Yue, Wang Kuang, Wu Kuang, Wu Fu.

In addition, there are a large number of people who have been transferred from He Jinfuzhong to various places in Luozhong, as well as those who have been directly promoted by him:

For example, the tiger Ben Zhonglang will melt the hole; Yubayashi Zhonglang General Huandian (the former Imperial History of the Horse); Liu Biao and Bao Xin, the middle marquis of the Northern Army; Counsel the doctor to plant Shao; In the imperial history, Cheng Dong Fu (the one who told Liu Yan that Yizhou has the spirit of the son of heaven) ......

And when the parade is over, after most of the soldiers and horses from all over the country and most of the forbidden troops in Xiyuan officially surrender to the general, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhang Yang, Zhang Liao, and so on will be added to this list.

In addition, Gongsun Xun's younger brother Gongsun Yue, Liu Yan's eldest son Liu Fan, and Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min are all on this list, and they represent a very important part of He Jin's power structure.

As for the ones that can't be easily separated from the duty everywhere, there are even more, what Luoyang Baguan guards, what Shangshutai's Shangshu, what shepherds in other places, there are too many to count.

Of course, with so many people, it is definitely impossible for them all to have a face-to-face meeting with He Jin, He Jin's core decision-making level can only be his direct subordinates of the Great General's Mansion, as well as those who were placed by him in Luozhong's various party leaders, as for the newly arrived Xiyuan Forbidden Army and local armed forces, except for one Yuan Benchu, the rest of the people from Cao Cao and below can only move a small bench to sit in the outer hall, waiting to listen to the decisions inside!

That's right, Cao Mengde was squeezed out!

But who embarrassed his identity? Relatives and scholars are sharpening their knives to deal with eunuchs, although you Cao Mengde said that as soon as he debuted, he handed in a letter of nomination, but it is a matter of life and death, who can trust you?

Maybe Yuan Benchu can trust you, maybe Gongsun Xun, a comrade-in-arms, can trust you, but what about the others? What about the generals?

So Cao Mengde could only sit in the outer hall awkwardly as a captain of the 2,000-stone forbidden army, drinking with a group of 1,000-stone military attachés, while preparing to express his opinion on the decision-making of the people in the front row of the inner hall...... The so-called laughing, angry, happy, and sighing when you hear it, but you can't directly participate in it.

Like him, there are Liu Bei, Zhang Yang, Zhang Liao and others, as well as the lower-level martial arts officials of the General's Mansion, Wang Kuang, Wu Kuang, Wu Fu, and even Yuan Shao and others brought followers, such as Wu Chen and others.

Of course, compared to Cao Cao, this wave of people can't even laugh when they hear it, they don't have the qualifications to laugh at the people inside.

The night in Luoyang was dark, and there were too many people gathered in the General's Mansion, and there would be more in the future. Among these people, there are dragons and tigers, snakes and insects, some are loyal and want to support the Han family, some are wolf-hearted and bent on plotting their personal future, some are colluding with each other to make great plans, and some are silent and self-contained...... But there are only a few who are truly loyal to the great general He Jin!

"What can I do?" Under the flame of the red beeswax candle, which is a specialty of Liaodong, He Jin, who had a big belly, asked earnestly again.

The crowd remained silent.

"The general must not leave Luoyang at this time!" It was Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu who spoke, or rather, everyone was silent before, waiting for the fourth and third dukes, the head of the children of the Luozhong Gong clan plus the leader of the party. "If you are in Chang'an and there is a change in Luoyang behind you, how can you deal with it? If there is a change in the North Palace, Zhang Rang controls the North Palace, Zhao Zhong controls the South Palace, and Jian Shuo controls the West Garden, and then the people in this place will all be killed and the clan will be wiped out, and it may not be known! ”

He Jin touched his stomach with one hand and sighed: "Originally, why didn't I know this truth? But as a general, if he can't be ordered to guard the mausoleum of Chang'an, I am afraid that he will be ridiculed by the people of the world, so how can he assist the Son of Heaven in the future? Moreover, let's say a digression, now that the rebels are 100,000 aggressive, I am afraid that they will reach the Guanzhong Plain in a moment...... The rebels came from Liangzhou, mostly cavalry spears, to the plain, if they can't stop it, they really beat Chang'an, and then come to Luoyang, won't you and my generation still die and be wiped out? ”

"Then the general might as well send troops at the order." Chen Lin, the master who had been silent, suddenly spoke stiffly. "Go to Chang'an, let others dispose of Luoyang!"

However, as Wang Qian, who was at the top, glanced back at him, Chen Lin and Chen Kongzhang immediately laughed and apologized: "No, I'm confused...... As the general said, the current situation is indeed difficult to handle, the edict does not lose the hearts of the people, but the westward expedition is absolutely impossible. ”

"Then there's only one way." Bian Rang suddenly interjected. "If you don't do it, you can't delay time."

"But if so." Liu Fan on the opposite side frowned and asked. "What about Guanzhong? Guanzhong must not be lost...... It's just dragging out time and not working, but it's not dealing with Guanzhong, so what do people in the world think? ”

"You can send a general to fight on behalf of the general!" Yuan Shao suddenly proposed. "Find a general with enough rank, go out of Kansai with a festival, be the head of all generals, and do Kansai affairs for the general!"

The crowd groaned for a moment.

"General, everyone." At this moment, a person in the corner cautiously got up and came to the hall to bow down, but it was Dong Zhuo's brother Dong Min. "My brother has been sitting in Fufeng since he returned from riding to the west with Zhang Che in the past, with 20,000 soldiers, to Xiliang, if he can be handsome, he can be regarded as a confidant and a confidant...... He said early on that if the rebels attacked, he was willing to share the worries of the general. ”

"Does Dong Zhongying have this intention?" Without waiting for He Jin's words, Yuan Shaodang asked with a smile, Dong Zhuo had been his uncle's disciple, so it didn't seem rude.

"Exactly." Dong Min was cautious.

"Dong Zhongying has been in Xiliang for a long time, and he can be called a general." Bian Rang frowned and interjected. "But how can his 20,000 soldiers resist this 100,000 Xiliang rebels?"

"Yes, I still have to increase the number of troops......"

"The Knights of the Three Rivers still have to be mobilized, and the parade troops brought from all over the country now may be able to get together."

"No, if the parade troops want to be recruited into the forbidden army in the West Garden, it is better to go out of the five schools of the Northern Army......"

"The rebels' claim of 100,000 is false, but excluding miscellaneous and the like, I estimate that there are 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers, or another 30,000 or 40,000 reinforcements, how many people are there in Sanhe and Wuxiao?"

"It's better to have other generals lead the way." Everyone was talking for a while.

Dong Min smiled awkwardly, but consciously retreated...... To put it bluntly, everyone looks down on Dong Zhuo, a typical martial artist from a border county who does not study, even if he was the only one who saved the troops after Zhang Wen's expedition to the west, he is now a dignified countryman.

Regional discrimination and political discrimination are so straightforward.

"Is Zhu Gongwei okay?" Throwing Dong Zhuo down, someone asked tentatively.

"Zhu Gongwei has just taken up his post in Hanoi, how can he use it?" Yuan Shao seemed to be smiling.

"What about Huangfu Yizhen?" Chen Lin suddenly asked again. "He has been living in the Fufeng fiefdom before, and he can just be used as the commander, Huangfu Yizhen is the main one, Dong Zhongying is the deputy, they are all Xiliang generals, and then some soldiers and horses will be levied, and a total of fifty or sixty thousand soldiers will be introduced, isn't it just right?"

He Jin on the main seat was greatly moved.

"Huangfu Yizhen may be able to ......" Yuan Shao was in a hurry. But where is the lack of elite soldiers? I mean that the Marquis of Ji is in Mengjin, and the Marquis of Ji is the old friend of the general, this parade is also the general's reliance, if he is the commander, then everyone in the world knows, the general does not abandon Guanzhong! Why do you have to have only two generals? Besides, since the weak crown, the Marquis of Ji has almost no defeats, if he is the main commander, Huangfu Yizhen and Dong Zhongying, the two Liangzhou generals will be deputies, not to mention that they can stabilize the situation in Chang'an, even if they drive the rebels out of Guanzhong, it may not be known! ”

Yuan Benchu was poor and dagger, and He Jin was inevitably moved in his heart, and more importantly, ...... Many talented people in the audience actually nodded in agreement.

He Jin thought for a moment, but was a little embarrassed: "Don't hide it from you, I boasted about Haikou that day and asked Wen Qi to be the pastor of Jizhou to sweep Taihang...... Now it's time to fulfill the contract, but he has to work him to go to Guanzhong, which is a little sorry for him! ”

Everyone looked at Sun Yue, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, who had been speechless, but he still sat upright and did not change his face, as if the incident happened suddenly, and he did not receive any instructions, so he was silent.

"This is for the general to show his sincerity." After thinking for a moment, Xiangyang Kuai Yue crossed over to Liu Biao beside him and suggested softly. "If the general thinks this plan is the best, why not go to Meng Jin and his party tonight in person and discuss the old friendship with General Wei? And besides, after all, the Xiliang rebels left their hometown Liangzhou and came to Sili, which belonged to a remote battle, so they could not be easily repulsed, as long as General Wei could hold Chang'an, he would not be able to hold back supplies, and then retreat in a few months. At that time, the situation in Luozhong has been decided, and General Wei will return to Luozhong with great merit, and it is okay for the general to repay this favor if he wants! ”

Yuan Shao stared at Kuai Yue diagonally opposite him, and for a moment he was amazed and admired, and everyone in the seat stopped talking.

He Jin thought about it again and again, but finally made up his mind, and then suddenly got up: "In this case, I will immediately go out of the city overnight to meet Wen Qi!" You are here, planning the distribution of troops, and then discussing the distribution of troops in Luozhong after General Wei leaves, you must not let Jian Shuo, a eunuch, gain power! ”

"I'll go with the general!" Changshi Wang Qian also took the initiative to follow. "If there are some things that the general is inconvenient to say, I will say it."

"Good!" He Jin praised it. "It's about to be a long history of labor."

Everyone hurriedly got up to send each other, even Cao Mengde and others, who were drinking nonsense outside, were also alarmed, and then followed...... After all, the ones who can really stay in the mansion to prepare for the dispatch of troops must be the military subordinates of the General's Mansion, and the rest of the people will also take the opportunity to leave.

In this way, He Jin's guard of honor hurriedly left the north gate, and most of the participants also went home under the escort of the general's officials.

The crowd was in groups of three or five, and there was a lot of discussion.

Kuai Yue sent Liu Biao.

Luoyang has not yet reached the curfew at this time, the street is actually quite lively, plus the situation is not good, there are actually quite a lot of noble cars walking around like this, and some people have left a political party, and maybe even have to participate in the second one. Unlike other places, Kuai Yue and Liu Biao were in the same car for a long time, and they were almost to the place where Liu Biao lived, but they never said a few words.

In fact, when discussing 'big things' in the inner hall before, Liu Biao never spoke.

In the end, Kuai Yidu couldn't help himself: "Why didn't Brother Jingsheng say a word tonight?" You're not usually a person with this kind of personality, are you? ”

"What does Xenomorph want me to say?" Liu Biao asked with a smile. "Is it to persuade the general to accept the order to go out for the eunuch's plan, or to persuade the general to openly refuse the order and not keep the minister's festival? Is it to persuade the general to take control of tens of thousands of troops with a rough man like Dong Zhuo according to local conditions, or to persuade the general to give private gifts and induce General Wei to be the commander? Is it because of the general's conquest but for Yuan Benchu, or is it because he has been a party member for decades but is opposite to the model of the world? The country was in danger, and I Liu Biao couldn't calm the situation, so I had to keep silent to protect my innocence. ”

As a general's mansion, Kuai Yue, who had repeatedly assisted Yuan Shao in his decision, was extremely embarrassed, and then he was ashamed. But after a while, he bowed down to the prime minister in the car: "Brother Jingsheng is really a sincere gentleman!" ”

Liu Biao also bowed his head slightly, not impressed.

Regardless of whether Kuai Yue felt ashamed or not, He Jin, who listened to his advice and made a decision, left Luoyang in the dark night. His men, carriages, horses, and honor guards did not stop all the way, and when they reached Mengjin, there was a garrison to meet them, and they hurriedly stopped them to prevent the general from crossing the river.

It turned out that in this month, because of the extremely cold weather this winter, the Yellow River in the Mengjin area suddenly entered the ice period because of the snowfall more than ten days ago, and the ice was several feet thick. Although this situation is a lot more convenient for the people, it is inevitably a little wrong for General He's chariot and horse honor guard.

However, He Jin still knew that the stakes were high, and he was born as a butcher in Nanyang, so he didn't put up a fight, and directly left the chariot and horse honor guard with Changshi Wang Qian, and only let Wu Kuang bring a few henchmen and warriors to accompany him, plus the guide of the local garrison and crossed the river on foot.

Rao is Gongsun Xun gradually had a city in his heart, and when he heard He Jin coming in person, and saw the other party crossing the river in such a posture, he couldn't help but be a little shocked and shocked.

The lights in the camp were instantly bright, and Gongsun Xun, who got up in a hurry, led the crowd to greet him.

It was freezing cold, and the two didn't have time to greet each other, so they turned into the tent to cook soup and discuss the purpose of the trip.

He Jin didn't do anything to hide it, and now there is nothing to hide, so he fully revealed his purpose, while Gongsun Xun hesitated for a while.

Of course he will hesitate, and the reason He Jin knows, it is nothing more than that this matter is too troublesome, and he doesn't know when he will come down, and then delay his Gongsun Xun to get Jizhou Mu.

Of course, in the eyes of He Jin and most people, the weight of this Jizhou pastor is not the same thing as Gongsun Xun - the Jizhou Mu in the eyes of He Jin and others is a state pastor, but in the eyes of Gongsun Xun, it is a great help to easily win the world in the future.

But how is it possible to say this? And He Jin has such a posture, Gongsun Xun has to find a truly irrefutable reason if he wants to refuse, right?

Otherwise, it will be a direct turn. And turning his face at this time will not only lose the biggest political capital, but also be embarrassed and laugh at the people of the world - that white horse general pretends to be an official on weekdays, but in fact he is not an official?

"Wen Qi!" He Jin sighed when he saw this, but he put down the soup bowl, stepped forward and moved his Taiwei chair to sit with Gongsun Xun, and took advantage of the situation to hold the other party's hand. "I really can't help it...... Help me again, don't seek victory, as long as you stabilize Chang'an and don't lose, and wait for the enemy to retreat, I will be grateful. As long as you can get through this, after the matter is completed, don't say Jizhou Mu, I will kill Dong Chong at that time, you will be a hussar general, you, me, and my brother He Miao, why don't the three of us join the Luozhong clan to rule the country together? ! Let's learn from the book to have a republican rule! ”

As soon as these words came out, the tent was silent, and the breathing could be heard, not to mention that Gongsun Xun was stunned there, it was Wang Qian and Wu Kuang who came in with He, and Lou Gui, Han Dang, and Xi Zhong, who were accompanying them, were also surprised.

First of all, no one will teach this, because no loyal subordinate will hold He Jin to give up power, and Yuan Shao's party members are painstakingly dealing with Gongsun Xun to prevent this situation, the first step of his plan is that the Yuan family and the He family will govern together, and then see if they can drive the He family down, so as to prevent people like Gongsun Xun from making trouble!

Therefore, these words can only be He Jin's own words...... It's just that I can't tell if it's from the bottom of my heart or his personal cunning.

Secondly, this is said at a very high level...... The rule of the republic is a period of the Western Zhou Dynasty in history, when the people rioted and drove away King Li of Zhou, and then the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Zhao ruled together, known as the rule of the republic.

This is the beginning of the Chinese chronicle, the origin of Chinese civil politics, and the appearance of the Confucian sage Zhou Gong in history...... When this word comes out, it really shows that people have grown up over the years!

Of course, Gongsun Xun will not be frightened by the rule of the republic, because for many years, he has traveled south and north, seen a lot, and determined in his bones that the world is going to collapse, and that everything must be pushed back again, the so-called Han family cannot be revived, and he Gongsun Xun must have great ambitions!

It is impossible for him to regard anything in the center as a treasure at this time, and he went out of the mountain this time, in fact, like Liu Yan who escaped, what he wanted was to take advantage of this last political turmoil to seek a big benefit in the local area.

However, the problem is that if people have such a posture, it will be even more difficult for Gongsun Xun to refuse!

"I'm a little confused." Gongsun Xun pressed the other party's hand and said earnestly. "Brother Sui, please let me go out and talk to my subordinates...... Don't worry, I'll give you an answer tonight! ”

He Jin is still calm, and he does not persecute too much.

Gongsun Xun led a few henchmen out and transferred to Han Dang's tent next to him, Han Dang himself didn't need to mention it, mainly Xi Zhong and Lou Gui.

"What can I do?" In the middle of the night, Rao was prepared for the political turmoil caused by the attack of the rebels in Liangzhou, but he was still stunned by He Jin's hand.

"The first thing to ask is what the prince is worried about?" Drama loyalty is indispensable. "The general asked the prince to go to Chang'an, and the prince could not shirk it, so if he went to Chang'an, what would the prince be most afraid of?"

"I'm most afraid of losing time!" Gongsun Xun replied helplessly. "The overall situation in Luozhong is changing rapidly, and I only ask for Jizhou Mu, if the Liangzhou army retreats and then comes back, I am afraid that Luozhong will have changed by then, and I have no time to rectify Jizhou, and even can't ask for it at all or simply have nowhere to ask for Jizhou Mu."

"I see." Xi Zhong said thoughtfully. "The body of the Son of Heaven is there, it is really hesitating...... But I have two more things that I would like you to answer. ”

"You say."

"One of them is that the general is not coming today, the day before yesterday the outpost rode to Luoyang, and yesterday Gai Yuangu was driven to Chang'an, and then today's general said that he will receive the edict tomorrow......"

"You're right." Gongsun Xun understood half of it, and then became more and more difficult. "Even if there is no general asking for today, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven and the eunuch will also issue an order to drive me to Chang'an...... As a general, I can not be an official in Luo, but it is difficult to refuse the appointment to defend the Chang'an Mausoleum. ”

"Not bad." Xi Zhong continued. "Second, I don't understand military ...... Dare to ask the prince, how long will it take to go to Chang'an? Are the rebels really too strong to contain? We said before that we can't enter Xiliang ......"

"No, no, no." Lou Gui suddenly interjected. "Liangzhou is Liangzhou, Guanzhong is Guanzhong, don't get confused. In fact, based on military theory alone, there may not be no chance of victory in Chang'an, nor will it necessarily rely on Chang'an City to consume the other party...... In my opinion, although the rebels claim to be 100,000 and menacing, they are not necessarily outstanding. ”

"What Uncle Zi said is good." Gongsun Xun's face did not change color, and he immediately bowed his head.

Lou Gui, who was encouraged, immediately continued to explain to Xi Zhong: "First of all, the battle was not in Liangzhou but in Sili, on the Guanzhong Plain, the rebels were not based on their hometowns, but fought, they had no foundation in Guanzhong, and even because of the plunder, they would inevitably be resisted and hated by the people in Guanzhong; Secondly, although Guanzhong is a horse and a flat river, and six or seven hundred miles of horses gallop wildly for only a few days, the cities are all in the hands of the officials and soldiers, and the rebels need to fight one city after another in order to enter, but the officials and soldiers can come and go freely and take the initiative; Moreover, the people of Liangzhou have many cavalry, and although they are excellent in field battles, how many are good at attacking cities? In the end, they mobilized so many soldiers and horses, how many days can the logistics last? Where can it be compared to the official army backed by the Luoyang Treasury? ”

"That ......"

"You want me to say!" Lou Gui put down his twisted hand and solemnly faced Gongsun Xun. "Prince, if we can concentrate 50,000 elite soldiers, fortify them layer by layer, and wait until the winter is over, when the spring of the next year is warm, and the rebels are exhausted from the siege, our army may be able to win a battle and drive them back to Liangzhou!"

"I see." Xi Zhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Gongsun Xun bowing slightly. "I don't know anything about military affairs, and I thought that this war was going to be fought in Liangzhou...... But if you defend the country in Sili, it's two different things. Prince, this is not contrary to our agreement. ”

"So, Zhicai wants me to agree?" Gongsun Xun frowned and asked.

"It's not for the prince to agree." The drama is the opposite. "The prince, in terms of the situation, the people's hearts, and the law, the prince has no reason to refuse, and the general has to take over this kind of will, and then move the flowers and trees, and ask the prince to do it for him. Can a prince disobey it? And don't you all say that there is actually a fight in this battle? ”

"That being said." Gongsun Xun shook his head for a moment. "When I suddenly lost Jizhou Mu, I was unwilling in my heart; Second, I'm always a little worried...... I feel that this time I have fallen into someone else's means. ”

Xi Zhong was about to persuade again, but suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice outside the tent:

"General Wei, please take the liberty to see you below."

The four people in the tent looked at each other, and naturally knew that this was the voice of the general Changshi Wang Qian, so they had no choice but to contain and change their faces and invite Wang Qian to enter.

"Why did Wang Jun come, but Brother Sui was in a hurry?" Gongsun Xun laughed for a while.

"Definitely." Wang Qianjin's tent was calmly opposite. "Below is Mao Sui recommended himself to see General Wei as a lobbyist...... Will the general listen to me as a lobbyist? ”

Gongsun Xun was helpless in his heart, so he could only give up.

However, as soon as Wang Qianfu spoke, several people in the tent became serious in their hearts:

"Junhou, in my opinion, the reason why you are hesitant now is not that you don't know the general trend, but because you are unwilling, unwilling to use your own strategies carefully to seek Jizhou, so that the plan of integrating Jizhou and Hebei will fail; The second is worry, worrying that there are people with ulterior motives behind it against you...... Is that so? ”

"The state pastor is not set up temporarily." Gongsun Xun's face did not change, but he just explained hard. "At least one or two years, at most two or three years, after sweeping away millions of bandits from north to south of Taihang Mountain, they will naturally have to hand it over...... How is it one? ”

Wang Qian stood in the tent door, and smiled again for a while: "In the private room, Qian is just a weak scholar, not to mention the five hundred righteous servants outside, even this Han Sima can also slash me with a knife, General Wei, what do you have to worry about?" Moreover, the world is staggering, this is a well-known thing, at this time, some people jump into the center, trying to turn over the clouds and rain, some people go to the place, trying to seek a solid foundation, survival, and ambition, it is a reasonable thing, it can't be called such a taboo, right? ”

Han was expressionless, and Lou Gui and Xi Zhong were speechless.

Gongsun Xun chuckled: "What Wang Jun said is very ...... In that case, is there anything you want to teach me? ”

"Yes." Wang Qian took two steps forward and came to Gongsun Xun, and said frankly with his head held high. "I'm here to say two things to the two hesitations in the heart of the prince...... Speaking of which, before on the Changping Python Mountain, did the prince know why I promised to go to the 'Jizhou Mu'? ”

Gongsun Xun was speechless for a while.

"Because of famine." Wang Qian asked and answered. "In the spring and summer of last year, there was a lot of water in the Central Plains, and almost all of the south of the river and between the Huaisi and Huaisi were poisoned, and by the time I hastily sent out the army, it had already turned into famine and banditry...... My people fled from Shanyang to the capital, and died of hunger and disease on the way, and dozens of deaths at the hands of bandits......"

"Is it that far?" Xi Zhong couldn't help but interject and ask. "In the royal family, there are two and three dukes."

"What can the second and third dukes do in that case?" Wang Qian asked helplessly. "I have wine and meat, money and food in Luo, and how can I send them through the famine all over the land? In fact, it's not just me, the secretary of Luozhong, and those whose homes are in the Central Plains actually have similar things. Under the general trend, the prince Li Shu is just a mortal. For example, Cao Mengde, an old friend of the prince and marquis, he became a councillor last year, and his father was still in the post of Taiwei, but his cousin could only gather among Huaisi to beg for food with half people and half bandits, and some relatives heard that they were more virtuous, but they starved their own children to death in order to save the children of their relatives...... General, in the past few years, there is a reason why people in the world have gradually hated the Son of Heaven! ”

The one who went to Huaisi to gather people to rob the house was obviously Cao Ren, who had just become an adult, and Cao Ren was clearly from a noble family before, and the one who kept the festival was either Xiahoudun or Xiahouyuan...... Gongsun Xun quickly guessed some of the truths, and then thought of Cao Mengde, who came here before and smiled, not to mention it, who would have thought that Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan had experienced this kind of thing over the years?

"In this way, Wang Jun repeatedly visited the place where I was tuntian that day." As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xun sighed faintly again.

"Exactly." Wang Qian struggled to adjust his emotions and speak. "I went out from Luozhong, walked through Hebei, and saw that there were more wild valleys in the place than in Longmu, but in fact, I didn't think much about it at that time, and it was impossible for me to bear such a heavy political responsibility for the prince just for the sake of the fate of the past...... But when I went to Zhuo County and turned into Guangyang, I saw that the order was solemn there, and the autumn harvest was imminent. ”

"I ......" Gongsun Xun's heart moved, and he was about to make some promises.

"I don't mean to ask my people for a place to settle down when I say this today." Wang Qian seemed to understand what the other party wanted to say, and forced the other party to shut up when he opened his mouth. "Because if the prince is determined to run the place, how can he refuse to let people go thousands of miles away for no reason? They have survived such a severe famine, they have hands and feet, how can they not work hard to survive? Asking for that kind of thing, our Shanyang Wang clan can't do it. ”

"Shame!" Gongsun Xun is rare and solemn.

"When I say this today, I actually want to tell the prince that as long as the things in the world are right and done, he will have his gains, don't think that it is worth doing this, and it is not worth doing that...... People in the world are not blind, who is a hero and who is selling fame, they can see it! "Wang Qian is getting more and more upright." Jizhou Mu is a good place, if you can go to the other place to connect with Youji, it is naturally excellent, but to go to Guanzhong is a loss? Is it trouble to fend off the rebels? With all due respect, most of the people are now fighting for power and profit in Luozhong, but they forget that the people of Sergeant Guan are panicking in the west! If the prince goes to Guanzhong, he will definitely gain something in the future because of today's loss...... Of course, this is just a personal truth, and there are some empty theories, and it doesn't matter whether the prince listens to it or not. ”

Gongsun Xun was silent.

"In addition to this one that may be a little funny, there is actually one more thing to tell." Wang Qian continued. "Sending the prince to Chang'an today, in fact, someone is secretly planning and targeting...... It was Yuan Benchu, who had been planning for a long time, forming a party and doing things, but he really didn't want to let the prince and marquis, the world's most advantageous blade, stay in Luozhong, and ruin his big business. Of course, as I expected, it is not bad, that is, without Yuan Shao, Jian Shuo will also do something against the prince, but Luozhong is indeed inseparable from the general. ”

Really!

When Gongsun Xun heard this, he was relieved, and he was about to say thank you, but for some reason the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, and asked another question instead: "Dare to ask Wang Jun, do you generals and subordinates sit back and watch Yuan Benchu be so unscrupulous?" Or ......"

"Just as the prince thinks." Wang Qian was neither happy nor angry. "It's probably because the general's background is too low, Yuan Benchu's background is too high, and although the general has some bearing, he is somewhat intelligible, so the general's wise and resourceful people are biased...... Of course, there are also Geng Jie's ministers, such as Master Chen, who has been secretly reminding the general to be wary of Yuan Benchu, but the general may not hear it. ”

Gongsun Xun shook his head.

After a while, Wang Qian went back first, and after a period of time, Gongsun Xun, who recognized the general trend and did not allow him to be wanton, also took three henchmen back to the tent, and as soon as he entered, he stepped forward and He Jin to get straight to the point: "Brother Sui, I have made up my mind, and I am willing to go out of Chang'an for you!" ”

He Jin couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"But there are three things that you have to agree to beforehand." Gongsun Xun didn't wait for the other party to show it, so he immediately put forward conditions.

"Wen Qi, though." Where does He Jin care.

"First, I know that the forbidden army in Xiyuan can't move, but the fifth school of the Northern Army still has to press me down, and I will also serve as the knight of the three rivers, the local material officer of Guanzhong, and the strong man."

"If you want to show your prestige as a coach this time, you can only rely on the five schools of the three rivers." He Jin also sighed. "But you have to be prepared, now the Northern Army is not as good as it was back then, the Knights of the Three Rivers have been activated year after year, and there are many escapes, and I am afraid that there are only 10,000 soldiers in a hurry. As for Guanzhong, I immediately issued an order to activate Huangfu Song and mobilize the local soldiers in Guanzhong, and I think there will be 20,000 in the future. ”

"That's enough...... Second, no matter whether you win or lose this time, after the war is over, please still allow me to be the pastor of Jizhou, as for the hussar general and the rule of the republic, let's talk about it later! ”

"If Wenqi insists on this, I have no intention of forcing it."

"That's good...... Finally, please let Yuan Benchu go out of Kanto and go to Runan to recruit troops for me! I am in Chang'an for one day, and he will be in Runan for one day, otherwise I can't be at peace and people can't do it! Gongsun Xun suddenly lowered his face and said.

He Jin was stunned for a moment, but immediately nodded: "I know, I will drive him away tomorrow, Wen Qi will not win for a day, and he will not be able to return to Luoyang for a day." ”

"In this case, please sit down in Luozhong and wait for the good news." Gongsun Xun slowly bowed his hand.

He Jin also bowed his head slowly.

The cold wind in winter was still there, and He Jin, who had been promised, walked across the river overnight again to return to Luozhong in order not to delay things.

And when he walked to the middle of the frozen Yellow River, He Jin, who was supported by Wu Kuang, suddenly stopped, and then looked at Wang Qian under the torch in the dark night: "Changshi used Yuan Shao's matter to persuade Wen Qi?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Qian hesitated, but when he saw that he was only He Jin's henchman, he simply admitted it.

"Ha......" He Suigao smiled wryly and sighed. Actually, I also know that although the people under my curtain applied because of my status as a general, most of them looked down on me, and they were more or less inclined to Yuan Benchu. ”

In the cold wind, on the ice, Wang Qian, who was wearing a leather robe but still trembling, was silent.

"Moreover, Yuan Benchu and Gongsun Wenqi borrowed my name to concentrate on things, and they each have their own plans, and I am also clear." He Jin continued, but his expression became more and more serious. "But what do you say I can do? Since I became a general, I was ignorant at first, but after reading more books and hearing more things, I also understood that there was no way back...... This dynasty has lasted for hundreds of years, since Wei Qing became a general, the only one who died well was Wei Qing himself, and the rest were all killed! ”

Wang Qian still looked unmoved.

And He Jin was already emotionally difficult: "Therefore, every day, I actually stand on the cold ice like this, with a biting cold wind and no shelter from the wind; It's pitch black on one side, and I don't know where the road is! Therefore, whether it is Yuan Benchu or Gongsun Wenqi, if I can really help me, I really don't care about the distribution of power to them, nor do I care about their selfishness...... But I'm afraid, I'm just looking for the continuation of the family, but I still ended up dying and the clan was wiped out! Long history, you say, is there such a truth in the world? What did we do to be treated like this? ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Kuang next to him couldn't bear it anymore, and directly leaned over and knelt on the ice, tears flowed out: "Don't worry, the general, my generation has been supported by the general, although there is only one brave force, but I will definitely lean in to repay it!" ”

Wang Qian had no choice but to bow his head.

He Jin patted Wu Kuang's hand, but motioned for the other party to get up and move on.

And Wang Qian, the second and third dukes, also bowed his head again to keep up...... Actually, he really wanted to ask He Jin just now.

First of all, do you know that 'what has our family done to be treated like this' is not what you are talking about?

You must know that in the past, the former Han Dong Xianen was favored by the honor and held the power of the world with the habit of breaking his sleeves, and his father tried to marry someone else's family, but the other party was so frightened that the other party knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, and he also had similar feelings...... But the result is still the death of the family, and the stench will be left for a hundred years.

Why? Because you have the authority of the world and are powerless, this is how it should be! Moreover, it is ridiculous to say such a thing in a position of authority in the world!

What have you done to be treated like this? What did our Wang do so that some people starved to death on the road? What have the people of the world done to suffer in this way?

Secondly, he also wanted to ask He Jin, if you say that you indulge Yuan Shao and Gongsun Xun is a political compromise, what is it to let the people in your curtain open their eyes for Yuan Shao? What's more, when you let these people eat inside and out, did you notice that Chen Lin is willing to show for you? You can be generous, but you can't afford to be faithful, right?

However, Wang Qian didn't ask any of these words, he didn't say a word, just bowed his head and slid all the way forward.

——————I'm the dividing line for paying off my debts——————

He Jin and Yuan Shao conspired to punish the eunuchs, and Jian Shuo harassed the mausoleum with the Liangzhou rebels, saying that the Son of Heaven issued an edict to enter Chang'an. Fear, and the left and right discussions, but want to accept the will but not work, and replace it with General Wei Gongsun Xun. Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, and said: "Liangzhou rebelled, invaded the mausoleum, and the general was the commander of the world's soldiers and horses. That is, if there is a change in Luo, the army is in hand, the victory is in the body, and the eunuch is enough to capture a prison official, why ask General Wei to replace him? Do you have to make General Wei a success? The seat mocked him, and he was silent. and in and out, visiting Xun at night to ask for help, and revisiting left and right, all saying that this matter has nothing to gain, and General Wei may not be ordered. Liu Bei was here, he didn't say anything for a long time, and when he heard it, he said: 'General Wei is in charge of the world, and he will be ordered by the courage of civil and military forces! 'Left and right don't believe, but they do. ——"Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Cang
