The secret is waiting in the abandoned house, and the long-standing person who has a private meeting with Luo Yao is not him, but the governor of Xuzhou's "Qiji Battalion" Beigong is pure also. [with _ dream]ā

At the end of last year, Beigong Chun had followed Pei Gai to Chang'an, stationed outside the city, Luo Yao had been ordered by Suo Qi to go to the secret meeting, trying to win him over, but was politely refused. However, Beigong Chun also said, now that the situation in Guanzhong is unknown, I feel that there is no future for following Suo Qi, but I don't dare to guarantee that following Pei Gai will be infinitely bright, so you can't pull me, and I won't pull you, but-"I'm a fellow villager in Liangzhou, how can I meet each other in the battle array?" In the future, or Suo Gong, or Pei Gong, or other places, must always be merged into one, and I will be of the same heart, and the people of Liangzhou can live in peace in Guanzhong. ”

This set the secret code for the future meeting, that is, to find someone to pretend to be a relative. It just so happens that Beigong Chun and Luo Yao don't have nephews, so if you hear the title of "uncle", you will know that the other party sent someone to contact you.

But Luo Yao didn't expect that Beigong Chun would come to Chang'an in person, and he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart. When the two entered the hall and sat opposite each other, Luo Yao asked, "Why did Brother come here?" My brother entered Chang'an, and I didn't know it, so I couldn't worship early and forgive my sins. ”

The implication is that you are also a general of an army, and you have fought inside and outside Chang'an City, and many people must know you, but I haven't heard the slightest rumor of you entering the city, so you must have sneaked in secretly - what do you mean?

Beigong Chun smiled and asked first: "Pei Gong destroyed Liu Yao under Dali City, and then recovered Feng Yi and the two counties of Beidi, presumably Brother Xian has heard about it. ”

Luo Yao nodded, but said in his mouth: "I know a little bit about it, but I don't know how to win?" ”

Beigong Chun frowned slightly, and asked, "Pei Gong reported the victory with Lubu, why doesn't the virtuous brother know the details?" "At your level, you're sure to be able to get a notification, and you're even qualified to ask Lubu to see it directly - provided you can read - so why don't you know what happened?

Luo Yao's face flushed slightly: "Since your envoy entered Beijing, he was invited to Shangshutai, and was asked by Suo and Liang Ergong. Suo Gong strictly ordered the army not to discuss this matter, so he didn't know ...... "Suo Qi's meaning is very clear, that is, he doesn't want Pei Gai's victory to disturb Chang'an's military morale - if he belongs to the same camp, the front line will be victorious, and the soldiers and people of Chang'an should be happy, but they are afraid that they will have too high hopes for Pei Gai, and their respect and trust for him General Suo will decline accordingly...... Such a move was quite subtle in the army, and Luo Yao also felt that it was too petty, so he was a little embarrassed to mention it.

Beigong Junyi pouted: "General Suo is as straight as a child's heart." "Then he said that it doesn't matter, I have participated in the specific battles, so let me tell you. So he didn't wait for the other party to ask, so he started from Pei Gai sending himself to lead the "Qiji Battalion" to cruise at the southern foot of Shangyan and attack Liu Yue by surprise, and until the decisive battle under Dali City, how he cooperated with the Sizhou army to kill Hu Yanyu, and then went with Guo Mo to recover Beidi County, and was well informed. Luo Yao interjected from time to time and asked questions about certain details, and Beigong Chun answered them one by one without concealment.

Luo Yao couldn't help but say in horror: "Speaking of my brother, the courage of the Xuzhou army is almost not under our Liangzhou Rui cavalry, if the foot soldiers defend by the base, I am afraid that even we will be difficult to break through...... And Pei Gong and Tao Gong command Ruotai, and often have wonderful ideas......"

Beigong Chun nodded and said yes-"Then what happened to me today, do you still need to ask?" ”

I can now be sure that with Pei Gai, the future is bright, so I specially came to inform you, are you willing to go back on the rope to Pei? "The battalions in Xuzhou are divided into middle, left and right, with more than 1,000 people each, and now the 'Qiji Battalion' built by the people of Liangzhou is only 2,000. If Qing is willing to return, Pei Gongyun will be my deputy, and from now on, the Liangzhou fellow villagers in Guanzhong can gather in one place, cut down Hulu, and conspire to be rich and noble, wouldn't it be good?

"And Pei Gongzhi is wide, Fei Suo, Koji generation can be compared, if he gets the authority, he will be the general government of Guanzhong, and then go west to Qinzhou. If Qinzhou is decided, then the time for us to return to our hometown is not far away-is Qing Qi intentional? ”

Luo Yao was still hesitating, so he heard Beigong Chun say again: "I'm waiting for the 'Liangzhou Horse', I can only gallop in the wilderness, not to defend the ......" As he spoke, there was a faint trace of chagrin in his eyes: "I think I used to be ordered by Zhang Gong to come to the east to help, in Luoyang, in Chang'an, every time I back the city and Hu and fight, although the battle will be won, but finally the city is ruined, and finally I have to give in to the snake, and temporarily do things in Hu...... Virtuous brother is young, don't follow my mistakes! ”

If you continue to stay with Chang'an, under the control of Suoqi, what future can you have? Suo Qi has no ability and ambition to fight outward, just use you to defend the city, if Chang'an does not encounter the police, you have no merit at all, once Chang'an encounters the police...... Then it's time for the city to be destroyed, and no matter how heroic you are, it still won't help the overall situation!

After dividing the gains and losses, he immediately tempted Luo Yao: "In the past, Qing once said that if you are willing to obey Suo Gong, you can be awarded the title of general, but the husband should take his own fame and fame, and he should not be given favors by others." I am fighting bravely in Feng Yi and Beidi today, and Pei Gong has already appointed me as General Long Xiang, so I guess the imperial court will not dare to disobey. The deputy governor of each battalion in Xuzhou is also awarded the title of general, so if the virtuous brother is willing to obey, it is not difficult for the general to be stronger than only being an empty supervisor now. ”

-- Supervision is a function, not an official position, and is equivalent to a supernumerary person.

When Luo Yao heard this, his eyes couldn't help but show a little expectation, and he immediately slapped the table: "I'm a Liangzhou man, I'm not used to lying about it, even if Brother Pei says that Gong Pei is good, and can work with Brother - Brother destroyed Wang Mi outside Luoyang City in the past, and re-beheaded Yanhao, Liangzhou up and down, who doesn't admire it?" It's a pity to drop ...... later" suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly swallowed the following words, and arched his hand: "I wish to attach my brother Jiwei!" I don't know what to do? Transfer all the Liangzhou cavalry out of Chang'an and go to Dali to Yi Pei Gong? If Minister Suo issued an edict to the court to ask, what should he do? ”

Beigong Chun smiled slightly, and replied: "Pei Gong's generals, mostly from Xuzhou, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, experienced a hundred battles, if the virtuous brother has no size merit, and suddenly gets the deputy governor and general, Pei Gong will raise his love, and he is afraid that his colleagues will be jealous." ”

Luo Yao said that I understood, I wanted me to help Pei Gong do something first, and make some contributions...... "Isn't it a merit to ride two thousand to Yi?" ”

Beigong Chun shook his head and said that it was not enough, then he leaned closer, lowered his voice and said: "Qing is also worried about how to deal with if Suo Gong asks Pei Gong and asks for Qing." And if Suo Gong has been defeated and Pei Gong enters Chang'an to govern, there will be no such worries. ”

When Luo Yao heard this, he couldn't help but shudder slightly, and pondered carefully: "In this way, Pei Gong wants to take Suo Gong and replace him...... Don't...... Can't you let me capture Suo Gong? "I was embarrassed at the moment.

Beigong Chun asked him what was wrong-"Qingyun Suo treats Qing Hou well, but he is only ordered to supervise and protect the small city, and there is no shortage of grain." For the sake of the generals, it should be like this, how can you be generous? For example, if the officials are lightly taxed and rest with the people, it is for the sake of good governance, and if the people do not starve to death, how can it be good? For the sake of the future of himself and his subordinates, the virtuous brother does not need to take care of this subsection......"

Luo Yao waved his hand and said I don't feel sorry for Suo Gong's kindness - "Suo Gong will eventually rule for the imperial court, and I am just a young general, can I catch him?" "There is one sentence he didn't dare to say, that is: Now that you are inciting me to launch a mutiny and create a rebellion, will you sell me as a scapegoat in the future in order to cover up the mouths of the world? I've seen a lot of the discipline of high-ranking officials and eunuchs, and I can't believe it at all!

I'm thinking about whether to talk to Beigong Chun a little more clearly, don't let him cheat and be ignorant - in fact, you also fell for Pei Gai, right? This possibility cannot be ignored by both of us. Beigong Chun seemed to have understood his thoughts-in fact, in fact, the various possibilities of related lobbying, Pei Gai and Wang Gong had studied and even rehearsed with Beigong Chun in advance-and comforted with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, you can't make the virtuous brother commit a crime and defy the law of the country." If there is an edict in the imperial court, and the prince of Suo will supervise the military affairs of the palace and the secretary of the palace, will the secretary be able to take it down? ”

Luo Yao stared at Beigong Chun's eyes, and his face showed surprise: "Will the imperial court have an edict?" Immediately reacted, and didn't listen to the reply, so he said word by word: "If Duke Pei can ask for the imperial court...... Even if there is only a handwritten letter from the Son of Heaven, my brother should obey the king's orders and dare not disobey - whoever you want me to arrest, then I will arrest whom! ”

——————————

After Beigong Chun and Luo Yao finished discussing, they immediately made a blood alliance, and then Luo Yao returned to his residence - he was too late to go back, for fear that it would cause unnecessary suspicion to others.

At the same time, in the Liang Mansion, Liang Fen was secretly discussing with his confidant Li Rong how to launch a coup d'état and trip Suoqi. Liang Fen was worried that he had no soldiers and no generals, so Li Rong said, Li Jie under General Suo Da might be able to use it.

Li Jie's character is Yi, he is a descendant of the Li family in Longxi, and he is Li Rong's younger brother. He loved archery and horses since he was a child, and he joined the army with a weak crown, initially served under Jia Kai, after Jia Kai's death, all the troops were returned to Suo and Koji, and Li Rong was also transferred to Suo Qi, and now he is the infantry governor in the army, and four colleagues (including Luo Yao) are jointly responsible for the defense of the small city of Chang'an.

Suo Qi and Lu Yun's original status was not very high, and they had to wait until they accepted Jia Kai's inheritance, and then united with the Liang brothers to kill Yan Ding, so that they could ascend to the sky and govern the country in one step. Therefore, the people who dislike them are compared to Li Dao and Guo Yan of the Later Han Dynasty - those two goods were originally under Dong Zhuo, but they were just school captains, and they were all because after Dong Zhuo's clan and Niu Fu fled, they led the Xiliang army into Beijing to chase Lu Bu and kill Wang Yun, so they could govern.

Of course, there is a big difference between the two. First of all, Suo and Koji occupy a pivotal position in the joint forces of Jia Kai, unlike Li and Guo, they are of the same level, such as Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Jia Xu, etc., and they grasp a lot of them; Secondly, Li and Guo Chun are the leaders of the Kansai Army, the big old and coarse, Suo and Koji are from the family (medium portal), and they are also considered to be generations of Qianshi families, and they are theoretically qualified to be the ministers.

Therefore, Li and Guo did not take the old bureaucracy seriously, and as a result, Chang'an chickens and dogs jumped; Suo and Koji didn't dare to be alone, and they had to bring Liang Fen out as a call, and by the way, they would take care of civil affairs. In fact, Liang Fen's family background and reputation are not very much, and it is only because his daughter is Empress Sima Chi of Emperor Huai of Jin that he can become a general Wei as a relative. But he was the highest-ranking bureaucrat who could be found at that time, and he was born in Kansai, so he moved to the position of Situ, nominally the head of the courtiers - the head of the courtiers who stayed in the capital.

Sima Ye's Chang'an Imperial Court was basically a federation of Guanxi scholars, which should have cooperated seamlessly and worked together with the outside world, but who would have thought that there would soon be a discord again. First of all, Suo and Koji are not harmonious, Suo Qi firmly controls Chang'an City, and Koji Yun is in charge of foreign troops, and they simply perform their duties and do not interact with each other easily. The problem is that Lu Yun is completely two knives in the war, Liang Fen has always regretted it, if he could manage to replace the two of them that day, probably the situation would not have fallen to the point where it is today.

Ko Zhongke is weak, Liang Fen pretends to be able to control him, elevates him into a puppet, and takes all political affairs out of his own door; At the same time, Suo Juxiu is at least better than Koji Mou, if he can let it go outside and unify the foreign army, there is a great possibility that he will not lose Feng Yi and Beidi, and he will not be forced to fight by Liu Yao all the time, and he will not dare to advance for thousands of years......

It's just that he regrets that the medicine has nowhere to touch, so Liang Fen learned from the pain and started to change horses.

Pulled back and said, Suo Qi and Lu Yun, although they are both silverware who misled the country, but their abilities and personalities are very different. When Lu Yun left Chang'an at the beginning, it was almost every three days, asking for officials and titles for the various guards in Guanzhong, hoping to win the hearts of the people and unify military affairs. Of course, the result is that those magistrates are becoming more and more warlordized, and everyone is respectful on the surface, but in fact they don't take him in their eyes. Lu Yun fought fiercely with Liu Yao many times, and the only reinforcements he could get were the Liangzhou soldiers......

Suo Qi has Xiang Yu, the so-called "people who have merit as knights, seals, can't bear to give", not only do not reward indiscriminately, but also be stingy with the name to the extreme - but it may also be because of Koji Yun Yinjian. He only has more than 20,000 soldiers in his hands, and many are old and weak, and there are only five or six thousand people who can really fight, and they are in the hands of the four governors who guard the gates of Chang'an and the small city, but Suo Qi does not give these generals the title of general, and the name is not promoted all the year round.

Probably in Suo Qi's subconscious, once you are awarded the title of the court, then you are a member of the court, if you are only a general in the army, then you are still my person...... My people will be rewarded with riches.

But the first problem is that the city has been garrisoned all the year round, and there has been no war, as Beigong Chun said to Luo Yao, how can these governors make meritorious contributions? Secondly, even if you make meritorious contributions, how much wealth can you give to General Suo? Just trying to provide food and clothing for these five or six thousand people was enough to stretch it - especially after Sima Bao cut off Longdao.

Therefore, there were quite a lot of complaints in the army, but Suo Qi thought too highly of himself, so he didn't notice it at all. Li Rong occasionally contacts and talks with his younger brother Li Jie, but he has a certain understanding of this, so he suggested to Liang Fen today that we can try to tear Li Jie into the water.

The four governors of the small city, if as Wang Gong said, the most powerful Luo Yao rebelled, or at least sat back and watched the success or failure, then we will have a considerable chance of winning if we win over Li Jie again.

Liang Fen pondered for a while, and then bowed his head slightly: "This plan is very good, you can do it." Then he deliberately turned his head over and didn't look at Li Rong. Li Zhongsi understood what Situ meant, this matter is dangerous, just take it as your own opinion, I pretend not to know anything......
