Chapter 22 I will go up and down to seek
The heavy snow delayed the transmission of information, causing a certain backlog of information, but the information was more and more intense one by one, which made Gongsun Xun, who was far away in the Wudu winter camp, a little out of shape after listening to the detailed report of the envoy.
In all fairness, what happened in Chang'an-Wuguan was certainly the result of this Wei general's misdeeds for a long time, but he really didn't expect that there would be so many accidents.
For example, the variable he was most worried about was to scare and intimidate Gongsun Chan in Chang'an, so before leaving, he also specially told Jing Ze, but who would have thought that Gongsun Bogui would be led away by Wang Yun when the incident happened, but Han Rui, the kid, suddenly jumped out and almost blocked the Son of Heaven?
For example, Yang Qi is really not Gongsun Xun's person, who would have thought that he would have such an arrow? Thinking of his later suicide on the bank of Danshui, it can basically be concluded that it was an accident, and that arrow was indeed a stress reaction at a critical moment.
and Jing Ze, as the only person who received the spy mission, his original responsibility was only to ensure that the Son of Heaven could leave Sanfu safely and reach Nanyang, but he was forced to get on the ship in a daze, and followed him to Nanyang! has become one of the few people who can be relied on by the side of the young man today, it's just a joke!
However, what really made Gongsun Xun sigh in the whole incident was Liu Yu's death...... Liu Bo'an's death was of course the direct result of Yang Qi's arrow, but from the side, if there were no cough symptoms caused by coal burning in winter, his injuries would not necessarily be serious and difficult to treat, and from this point of view, Liu Yu's death was indeed an accident. But on the other hand, if it weren't for being in this awkward position, if it weren't for the fact that he had been trembling and trembling on thin ice for many years, how could this auxiliary minister of the Han clan be infected with a coughing disease, and how could he appear before Yang Qi's arrow? Why didn't Zhao Ping die?
Therefore, whether his death was fate or an accident, I am afraid it is really unclear.
And there is another thing or person that touches Gongsun Xun, that is, Mrs. Mei...... Liu Yu may not know until he dies that Mrs. Mei in Youzhou is simply a slave girl from Sanhan, and she was deliberately sent by Aunt Gongsun with the help of Xian Yufu!
However, now, this matter is meaningless, Mrs. Mei has proved her innocence with her life, what else is there to say?
Even Gongsun Xun can only say a word in his heart, and he must not underestimate people's hearts, and then sigh a little and stop there...... Because stop here, whether you are alive or dead, it is good for everyone!
The snow in Longshang in winter was deep, and after listening to the detailed report, Gongsun Xun, the general of Wei, first meditated alone in the tent for a long time, and even the venison soup froze, and then he summoned Jia Xu and Xi Zhong to discuss it for a while.
Jia and Xi had already learned about the matter from the messenger sent by Gongsun Xun at this time, and they were already prepared at this time, so the three of them entered the main topic as soon as they met.
"The matter of Chang'an is over." As the duty took away the soup bowl, Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the couch in the tent, opened the sect. "Return to the army immediately."
"Not bad." Xi Zhong immediately nodded in response, a little eager. "The lord must be accompanied by a large army when he re-enters Chang'an this time, so no matter how anxious and difficult the road is, he must lead the troops back, and he must make a big show...... According to the minister, you might as well take advantage of the winter farming to gather the people of Yongliang, especially the newly attached people of Liangzhou, and bring them into Chang'an. At that time, on the one hand, you can use the great victory of Liangzhou and the power of Yongliang to suppress the Minister of Chang'an, and on the other hand, you can use the momentum of Chang'an to deter the people of Liangzhou, which can be called killing two birds with one stone. β
"Feasible!" Gongsun Xun simply agreed.
"Since we want to lead the army back to Chang'an, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time, can we make some adjustments in advance in Chang'an to calm people's hearts?" Jia Xu suddenly raised another question.
"It's nature." Gongsun Xun didn't have any ambiguity. "You should know the details of that day...... I want to make Chang'an Ling Han Rui the Taishou of Wudu, Jingzhao Yin Han Xuan as the Taishou of the Beidi, Feng Fang as Jingzhao Yin, and Zhao Ping as the guard captain to temporarily command the Tiger Ben Army, and at the same time publicly remove the Hou General Gongsun Zan from the power of Chang'an public security in the name of dereliction of duty, remove him from the post of guard captain, and 'suggest' that Guanglu Doctor Huang Wan temporarily take charge of Shangshu and preside over Liu Bo'an's funeral at the same time. β
The words were very short and informative, and after Jia Wenhe and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, they immediately bowed their heads to make a statement, but neither of them spoke.
In other words, Gongsun Xun's personnel adjustments for Chang'an are still very clear, and the purpose is also very clear:
For example, Han Rui's promotion to the next level is obviously a reward.
After all, a strategy is a strategy, and the purpose is a goal, and this old classmate who studied under Lu Zhi in the past, as an uninformed person, showed his outstanding loyalty and courage in the 'coup', so he must show something.
Correspondingly, Jingzhao Yin Hanxuan's transfer is a punishment.
The reason is the same as the former, but this former official who was invested in Hanoi in the past, the same clan of Han Hao, the protector of the army, inevitably seemed too weak in this Chang'an turmoil, and as Jing Zhaoyin, he was responsible for this incident, so he must also be punished.
And between the rise and fall, Gongsun Xun's basic attitude towards the departure of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an is undoubtedly evident - the Son of Heaven's trip is wrong, otherwise how could Han Rui, who was struggling to stop him that day, be promoted more urgently? And how could Han Xuan, who was unfavorable in obstruction, be directly demoted to the poor county guard?
Therefore, everyone should let go and criticize the Son of Heaven!
In addition, the 'suggestion' of Huang Wan to replace Liu Yu and preside over the funeral, as well as the removal of Gongsun Zhan, is undoubtedly to appease people's hearts, and also to tell everyone that he will not tear his face and make it difficult for everyone, unless there will be no bloodshed as a last resort.
As for letting Feng Fang and Zhao Ping, two people with special status, take over the overall situation of Chang'an's military and politics in the end, plus the previous reward and punishment for Erhan, it is enough to avoid a few fools from misjudging again, and at the same time, it is also good for some people to take advantage of the window period when Gongsun Xun led troops back to Chang'an to prepare.
That's right, Gongsun Xun is saying naked that it is impossible for him to give up power - when the Son of Heaven was there, he did not give up power, and when the Son of Heaven is gone, he will not let go of power!
And Feng Fang and Zhao Ping, as Gongsun Xun's cheap brother-in-law and cheap father-in-law, mastered the military and political affairs of Chang'an at this time, and the symbolic meaning was far greater than the actual significance.
As for Jia Xu and Xi Zhong not opening their mouths, they were actually worried about Gongsun Zhan, Feng Fang, and Zhao Ping, and the two of them were scheming and unwilling to beak; One is loyal and unimpressed.
"Since we have to withdraw our troops." Gongsun Xun saw that the two military advisors had no objections, so he simply went down, but he frowned for a while. "Hanzhong has to let go...... Who will be stationed in Wudu? β
Jia Xu and Xi Zhong also frowned at the same time.
There's no way, Gongsun Xun is too short of infantry commanders!
This is a commonplace problem, and it is also an inevitable problem, starting in western Liaoning, Hebei is the most important, and it also holds Guanzhong...... It's normal for generals to be good at cavalry! However, Wudu is facing Hanzhong and Bashu here, where is the cavalry used? In fact, this is also the reason why Gongsun Xun is reluctant to take military adventures in Hanzhong...... The combat power of the cavalry is greatly reduced, and one is about to capsize if he is not careful.
As for the few infantry generals under the command of Gongsun Xun, Gao Shun, Zhang Jaw, and Xu Huang, they all have to prepare for major events in the direction of the Central Plains, but they are even more reluctant to put them here to waste, but it is not good not to leave the generals stationed!
"Then Zilong!" Gongsun Xun thought about it for a long time, and he could only arrange it like this. "His new and great achievements happen to be appointed; And his people work hard and complain, and they will not be angry because they are idle for a while. Let him be stationed in Wudu in the name of the champion general, and lead many important roads in Longshang......"
Speaking of this, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but feel a pity: "Actually, if Hanzhong can go down, then set up a general in Longnan Wudu and Hanzhong, the north can shake Liangzhou, the south can press Bashu, if necessary, you can also go east along the water to Nanyang, Xiangyang, the so-called advance and retreat properly, if necessary, it can also be a strange soldier." As a result, he had to give up halfway. β
"It's just a pretense, the lord doesn't have to care." Xi Zhong couldn't help but step forward to persuade. "Chang'an is the main purpose of our westward trip, and at that time, we can discuss it, and if necessary, we can give up the Xiliang matter a little, let alone Hanzhong?"
"People's hearts are not enough." Gongsun Xun nodded and smiled yes. "Today, I understand Guangwu's mentality back then, although the harvest of this westward trip has already exceeded expectations, but I still can't help but want to take up more...... It's all the work of your hard work! β
Xi Zhicai also laughed, in the final analysis, although the process of this westward trip was often unexpected, but in terms of results, it was a great success of what they had planned for many years, and when Gongsun Xun returned to Chang'an and took the last step, what this Wei general was about to usher in was a qualitative leap for him personally and even the entire Hebei military and political group.
It is also impossible to help the drama loyalty, which has gradually calmed down over the years, to be happy again.
However, thinking of this, Xi Zhong couldn't help but smile slightly, and sighed for a while: "The lord praised it falsely." In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the lord could stabilize the overall situation, sit in Hebei for three years, and run Kyushu, why would the water come to fruition today, and even the water in the canal has repeatedly overflowed? Looking back now, what changes in the situation, what unexpected people's hearts, what resistance does not fall, what stubbornness, what is it before the situation of three years of great rule in Hebei Kyushu? The so-called strange things, although they have been unexpected many times and set off waves, but they can never meet the general trend, and they will eventually return to the mainstream. And the minister's repeated instigation of the lord's risky policy back then seems to have fallen behind. All in all, to have today's situation, the minister thinks, it is still the credit of countless subordinates in Hebei. β
"One yard to one yard." Gongsun Xun hurriedly waved his hand. "Your design still has a big effect...... This split of the Han family, on the one hand, made the Son of Heaven almost alone, and did not have enough strength to suppress us in turn; On the other hand, the ministers of the DPRK and China lost their ground, and they had to survive from me...... This kind of clever strategy, relying on me alone, may have drilled the tip of the horns, if it weren't for you and Yuan Chang and Wen He...... Why didn't Wen He speak? β
"Return to my lordship." Jia Xu suddenly reacted and immediately replied. "The minister is thinking about the words of the military master just now......"
"How?" Gongsun Xun was curious for a while, and Xi Zhong couldn't help but be right.
"Very well said." Jia Wenhe also replied with a twisted beard. "The overall situation is like this, and any accidents and tricks are just superficial things! Therefore, why didn't the lord test with Zhang Lu again before leaving, either coercion, or sincerity, in short, try to do as much as possible before leaving, not asking him to surrender on the same day, so as to leave room for the use of troops or surrender in the future......"
"Yes." Gongsun Xun immediately agreed. "Then Wen He thinks he should be intimidated, or should he be sincere?"
"There is no complaint, the lord is from the heart." Jia Xu put down his twisted hand and spread his hands.
Gongsun Xun was thoughtful.
The midwinter wax moon is approaching, and the winter is deep, because there are great changes in Chang'an, and General Wei Gongsun Xun is about to return to the court. At this time, because Liu Yan relied on the geographical advantage, he was unwilling to put Zhang Lu's mother back, and Jiang Gan did not return for a long time, and the matter in Hanzhong was inevitably invalidated halfway.
But before leaving, General Wei wrote a private letter to Zhang Lu.
The content of the letter is simple, saying only three things:
The first is to frankly introduce the major events that happened in Chang'an, and tell the other party that he had to give up Hanzhong and Bashu, withdraw his troops and return to the east.
Secondly, it is to instruct Zhang Gongqi, although he uses the rule of law in Hanzhong, it is a typical crooked and evil way. However, after all, the situation is stable and the people's hearts are stable under his rule, so he still recognizes the other party's level of governance, and asks the other party to continue to maintain effective rule over Hanzhong to avoid turmoil and affect the people's livelihood.
In the end, Gongsun Xun confessed another trivial matter to Zhang Tianshi in the letter, that is, the "Romance of the Fengshen" that the other party has been curious about and has repeatedly written to ask, is actually not the true meaning of Taoism, and the words set in it are all made up by his mother, and his Gongsun Xun is not only not the reincarnation of King Wu or Erlang God, but he is quite disdainful of this book, because the attitude of everything in the book is destined, and it is inevitable that he will fall behind.
In fact, it is the 'author' of Gongsun Auntie, and now when I look back at this book, I feel that it is a little empty, but it involves King Wu and many strange things, which is quite influential and difficult to change. And the foundation of Taoism is still due to Lao Tzu's inaction, and the rest is just a strong argument.
Even further, Gongsun Xun even stated in his letter that even if he himself respected the Taoist idea of ruling by inaction, and also respected Zhang Lu's contribution to stabilizing the situation in Hanzhong with Taoism, in terms of the concept of governance, his person ran counter to Taoism and was closer to the road of Confucianism and Legalism.
He didn't want to hide it.
At the same time as the letter was sent to Nanzheng, there was also an official document from Gongsun Xun officially taking the ruling general Zhang Lu as the Taishou of Hanzhong.
However, after the official documents and letters were delivered, Nan Zheng did not respond at all.
And Gongsun Xun just left a secret button, and he didn't have any extra hope, so he didn't pay attention to it. He only left Zhao Yunyin to lead Cheng Yin, who had just been promoted to captain, to garrison Wudu with 5,000 cavalry, and then he did not hesitate, and personally led the army to re-enter the pass from Sanguan, and joined the 7,000 Liangzhou knights in Chencang, which had turned into snow, and then turned westward, and gathered the three auxiliary knights and sharp pawns along the way, preparing to enter Chang'an to reach the overall situation.
However, the winter was deep, and when the army slowly walked to the logistics base camp of Yiwu, they met an unexpected person - Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu and Zhang Gongqi came out of the ramp to this point, almost coming alone.

"The theory of destiny is man-made. Why put the cart before the horse and determine people by heaven? Jun claims to be a heavenly master, manipulates ghosts and gods, and then is determined to be chaotic in Hanzhong, what is better than the virtue of five buckets of rice? Therefore, it is said: If people are self-reliant, they will be able to win the sky. Wangjun thinks about it. ββ"The Book of Gui Sanguan and Zhang Tianshi". Yan. Gongsun Xun
