Chapter 37: The Rise and Fall of Success

After retiring from the dynasty that day, Xun Song secretly found Liang Fen and asked him: "Situ Gong, the court is in all matters inside and outside, but it doesn't answer and ignore, if it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid that the prestige will be difficult to revive, how is it good?" Liang Fen smiled and replied inscrutablely: "But Guanzhong is stable, and the prestige of the imperial court is high, so why hurt?" ”

As for Guanzhong, Pei Gai first received the performance of Xiong Tizhi and Liang Yan, and the two naturally attacked each other, each saying something wrong. However, the Chang'an regime and the Luoyang regime are different after all, and the intelligence work is relatively good, so for the chaos in Wudu, Pei should get Pei Xu's detailed report almost at the same time, and it is clear who is right and wrong.

But he ignored the matter first, but hurriedly discussed with his subordinates and asked: "Xiong Yizhi has retreated, and the resumption of Wang Chuzhong has also attacked Badong Buke and returned to Jiangling, then Zhou Shida is alone and deeply suspended in the enemy's territory, and the situation is very unfavorable, how is it good?" Tao Kan twisted his beard and said slowly: "If the lone army goes deeper, there is no hindrance, with the ability of Shida, the retreat of the troops from Kele will not be taken advantage of by the enemy." However...... I'm afraid that Wang Chuzhong will take the opportunity to seize Xiangyang, if Xiangyang is lost, Shida's back road will be cut off, and there will be no basis for advancing and retreating, and it will be dangerous......"

Pei Gai pouted: "Wang Chuzhong, brother Shijiang, most of them will do shameless things for this!" After a pause, he said that we can't do anything about it, after all, we are far away, and we can neither send troops south from Wudu to respond to the Zhou visit, nor can we send generals to Jingzhou to assist Tao Zhan in garrisoning Xiangyang City......

Pei Wei said: "Even if the Wang Chuzhong brothers seize Xiangyang, they don't dare to risk the disapproval of the world and march into the army to attack Zhou Shida, lest they cut off the supply of grain and straw, and make the Zhou army chaotic...... He could order Chengfang to go south to supply and transport military rations, so that Zhou Shida could last for a few days and facilitate the planning of countermeasures. ”

"Chengfang" is Pei Zhen, who was the county guard of Shangluo. Shangluo is a county in the southwesternmost part of Sizhou, and it is connected to Weixing in the south, so you can try to send the stored grain in the treasury to Zhou Wan more or less for emergency - "Even if it is a drop in the bucket, at least it can make Zhou Shida feel virtuous and virtuous to Ming Gong." ”

But who would have thought that the three thousand grains and grass that Pei Shu had collected with great difficulty had just entered Weixing County, and news came that Zhou had visited Hanzhong. When the news reached Chang'an, Tao Kan couldn't help but sigh: "Shida deceived the enemy and broke the enemy, and he was able to go down in history, and I couldn't do it." ”

Pei Gai smiled and comforted him: "Tao Jun, why bother to be arrogant, don't you hear that 'those who are good at fighting have no great achievements'? Zhou Shida's strategy was in danger, but he was forced by the Wang brothers, and he had to die to survive, what is the law. ”

Immediately discussed with Tao Kan and Pei Wei, saying that since Zhou's visit had won Hanzhong, the external troubles on the Wudu side would have been basically lifted, and Qiu Chi Di was almost wiped out, so there was no need to camp a battalion of soldiers and horses in the county - "I intend to recall Xiong Yizhi back to Chang'an, don't sign the county lieutenant, and use the local people as auxiliaries to guard the counties, what do you think?" ”

Pei Wei shook his head and said: "You don't have to recall Xiong Yizhi first, but you should reprimand Liang Yi in a text and order him to come to Chang'an to apologize." ”

Pei Gai frowned slightly and asked, "What does uncle mean ......?"

Pei Wei said with a smile: "If Liang Yi refuses to come, it will just make Xiong Yizhi wave his army to suppress and remove the hidden danger of Tangchang; If he is willing to come, he can stay in Chang'an, or leave it in other counties and counties, and cut off the connection between his clan and the Qiang people in Tangchang. At that time, don't order the magistrate of Wudu, you can slowly solve the problem of Danchang. ”

In any case, Liang Yan also belongs to the semi-separatist forces in Danchang, and it is necessary to guard against it when this pile of firewood and grass will ignite a fire. In the eyes of Pei Wei and others, even if the Liang clan occupies a county in Wudu, it will not be a disaster, but the problem is that there are so many Qiang people under his command, not my race, their hearts will be different, and the Jin people are still tolerable, as for the Qiang chieftain, then they have to be eradicated if they have the opportunity.

Pei Cai bowed his head, and then asked: "After the slaughter in Wudu County, although Di is destroyed, Qiang's heart may not be stable, if Liang Yi comes at the order, who will succeed him as the county magistrate?" In the other place, Jin Rong miscellaneous places, when using people who are clear about the situation, can be safe. ”

Pei Wei suggested: "Xiong Yizhi's recommended Zhang Jieli, a person from Jingzhao, who was exiled to Wudu because of indiscriminateness, has been in the county for a long time, or can be used. ”

Pei Cai thought for a while, there was really no more suitable candidate, so he had to nod and said: "In this way, you can order it to return to Chang'an first, and when I see it, it is indeed available, and then I will die." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Pei should coordinate everything in Guanzhong, mainly to develop production and train soldiers, and at the same time, he also personally pointed out Pei Xu's intelligence work, and even ordered Pei Shu to quietly stretch out his hand to the east-

After all, Pei Ziyu is his own family member and is more credible, while Wang Gong is a person with an old stain, and he is alone, Pei should not be very at ease with him.

A few days after the order was given to Liang Yi and ordered him to come to Chang'an to apologize, Pei Wei suddenly came to report that Biqiu Ao and Yang Qian had come to ask to see Ming Gong.

These two fled from Badong more than a month ago, and wanted to go north to Guanzhong, but they were not familiar with the journey, and the other was afraid of being hijacked by Wang Dun and Wang Xuan's subordinates, so they kidnapped them and went to Luoyang, and even killed them directly with a knife - Wang Dun is more domineering, and the fifth is a lesson from the past - so they repeatedly detoured, went through ups and downs, and arrived in Chang'an not long ago.

After arriving in Chang'an, he didn't dare to ask to see Pei Gai directly - one was a huge disparity in identity, and the other was unclear about Pei Gai's attitude - Biqiu Ao Nai directly told Pei Gai's mansion. Pei Wenji is the chief of the line, if Yong and Qinmu are a country, then he is the prime minister, naturally the court is like a city, Biqiu Ao is a criminal minister who abandoned and fled privately, he didn't dare to make a big noise, so he had to line up honestly, and he queued up for three days in a row, and finally saw Pei Wei.

And he didn't dare to play the banner of the Padang Prison Army, and only wrote "Tongjia Old Man" on the name tattoo.

Whether it is Chang'an, Luoyang, or Jiankang, it is true that Badong County has been basically forgotten before, although it has not fallen to the enemy, it is no different from other countries, until Zhou visited the Han Dynasty and Li Shou took Ba, Pei Xu collected the military information on the front line, and reported to Pei Gai once every three days, Pei should discuss with Pei Wei and Tao Kan, and everyone finally learned the names of Yang and Biqiu. So Pei Wei smiled when he saw the famous thorn, and said in his heart that after the defeat of Biqiu Ao, he did not join Luoyang, but came to Chang'an, which is very interesting......

Summoned immediately, as soon as Biqiu Ao came in, he fell to the ground and cried, condemning Zhou Wan for refusing to save him, and then twisting and turning, expressing that his family and Pei's friendship for generations - even if there is no such layer, it is also a fellow Wenxi, how can they not take care of each other?

Pei Wei ordered him and Yang Qian to wait for the time being, and he came to report to Pei Gai, Pei should say that such a mediocre person who abandoned his job and lost his land, why should we pay attention to it? tied up and escorted to Luoyang.

Pei Wei shook his head and said: "No, they came from afar and voted for the contract, if the contract is not accepted, I am afraid that they will lose the hearts of the Quartet." He immediately helped to explain, saying that people have their own strengths and weaknesses, Yang Qian and Biqiu Oben are not good at military affairs, and after encountering a strong enemy, Zhou visited and refused to save him, and he had no choice but to flee, which is also understandable......

"Not far away, and Zhou Shida is committed to Hanzhong, but he did not send a soldier to rescue, so that the national land is not in the hands of thieves, this song is really pitiful in Shida, Biqiu, etc."

When Pei Gai heard this, he couldn't help but purse his lips and sighed: "Zhou Shida, the bureaucracy too." ”

To Pei Wei's ears, this is probably a good sentence, but in fact, the "bureaucracy" that Pei Gai said is taken from the meaning of "bureaucracy" in later generations - a very important one in bureaucracy, that is, ignoring the overall situation and only sweeping the snow in front of his own house. Pei should think to himself, if I were a Zhou visit, as long as I was not injured in the great cause of attacking Hanzhong and the difficulties of neighboring counties, I would definitely have to reach out to save it. If not, what does it matter to me whether you win or lose your weekly visit? I want to worry about you in Guanzhong, and I also specially ordered Pei Zhen to supply military rations to you?

But bureaucratic habits are widespread, and Zhou Shida is not exempt from vulgarity, and perhaps he also hopes that Padang will be lost, so that Wang Dun will touch a big nail when he advances. In fact, this attack on Hanzhong was originally the result of the infighting between Wang Dun and Zhou Wan, how could Pei Cai not know?

That's why he said the word "bureaucrat" - although Zhou Wan is a famous general, he will not get rid of bad habits after all, and no one is perfect, isn't it a sigh?

So he asked Pei Wei what to do with Yang Qian and Biqiu Ao?

Pei Wei arched his hand and said: "It is verified that Yang Qian is actually the widow of the Hongnong Yang family......"

Pei Gai's compilation of "Surname Chronicles" lists Hongnong Yang as ninth, but in fact, this high-ranking scholar since the Eastern Han Dynasty has long been in a state of semi-extinction.

The Yang family's family began with "Confucius Yang Boqi in Guanxi", that is, Yang Zhen, the Taiwei of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Yang Zhen's descendants are mainly divided into two branches: one is in charge of the late Han Dynasty, passing on Yang Biao and Yang Xiu; After being arrested in the Jin Dynasty, Yang Xiu's grandson, Yang Junguan, went to Jizhou to assassinate the history, and intersected with Pei Yi; Yang Zhun has sons Yang Qiao, Yang Chao, Yang Jun, and the uncles are all up to 2,000 stones, and Yang Jun is the Taifu Peng, but none of them are in the "Yongjia Rebellion".

The second branch was passed to Yang Jun and Yang Wenchang, who was only admitted to the county order at first, but after his daughter married Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, she rose to prominence with the value of her marriage. However, Yang Jun was not the main branch of the Hongnong Yang clan, and his own talents were extremely limitedβ€”not as good as his younger brothers Yang Jue and Yang Jiyuanβ€”so he was despised by Shilin, which led to his nepotism and harsh governance, and was finally killed by Jia Nanfeng when Sima Wei, the king of Chu, summoned into Beijing, and the three clans were wiped out.

So when Pei should stay in Taiguanzhong, the Hongnong Yang family can't find a few people to come, and the reason why it is still ranked high in the "Surname Chronicle" is that the original compiler Dong Jingdao admires Yang Zhen, and the other is that Pei should deliberately set a trap in order to balance the forces of all parties. There is no doubt that if the Yang family is no longer able to produce high-ranking officials of more than 2,000 stone in a few years, the ranking will definitely drop sharply, and the seats will be vacated to wait for the promotion of the Kansai family.

But Pei Wei said that Yang Qian is the Hongnong Yang family, although he is not a descendant of Yang Biao or Yang Zhong (Yang Jun's grandfather), but it is not far behind - he is two thousand stones, but no one knew that there was such a person before......

"As for Biqiu, because of the concubine's surname, after the ancient kingdom, the yuan is also long, and after entering the Wei Dynasty, he was once ...... Xuanhe"

Biqiu Xingshi Wei is Wuwei Taishou, will be a master craftsman, because of the rebellion against Hu Yougong, named Gaoyang Township, and his son Biqiu Jian has been the general of Zhendong and the governor of Yangzhou.

After giving a general introduction to the genealogy of Yang Qian and Biqiu Ao, Pei Wei proposed: "Wenyue, don't you hear that 'the rise and destruction of the country, following the peerless, lifting the people, and the people of the world return to their hearts." This sentence comes from the Analects, and refers to the restoration of the extinct kingdom and the extinct aristocratic lineage, which can be used to gain prestige -

"If Yang Qian can revive the Hongnong Yang family, he will be grateful for the covenant; If you can put Biqiu back in Wenxi, you will help my family. ”

In fact, Pei Wei didn't think much of Pei should promote a large number of Hanmen scholars, in his opinion, this was just a helpless temporary measure in the case of insufficient talents in the troubled times, and it could not be a law for all generations. He hoped that Pei Gai would be able to support the declining large families in recent decades or even longer, until the Wei and Jin dynasties, so as to consolidate his ruling base and expand his alliance.

So today, I caught a person surnamed Yang and a person surnamed Biqiu, so I hurriedly ran to advise Pei Gai that it was better not to categorically reject him thousands of miles away, so it was better to take the opportunity to envelop him.

Pei Cai pondered for a while, and replied: "Hongnong Yang's return is just that, why use it after Biqiu is a traitor?" ”

His ideas are naturally different from Pei Wei's, because even if all the major clans of scripture since the end of the Han Dynasty are revived, the overall number is not more than Erer, and trying to rely on such a low proportion and extremely solidified strata to consolidate the rule will inevitably lead to the instability and involution of the regime. The reason why he supported the Hanmen Shu clan to a certain extent was to break the monopoly of the landlords of the clan.

But it is inconvenient to say this clearly, and it is even more inconvenient to mention it to Pei Wei - the human butt sits firmly on the side of the clan - so Pei Wei wants to revive the Hongnong Yang family, and also brings out the Confucian righteousness of "survival and extinction", Pei should be inconvenient to stop. Moreover, he pondered it again, which may also have the same effect as what Li Rong said, for the Hedong family to "build princes and reduce their strength".

There is only one Yang Qian left and right, so he agreed to Pei Wenji, what doesn't matter? It's just that Bichuao...... The Biqiu clan was originally not a giant clan, especially Biqiu Jian was wiped out by the whole family, and now there are only three or two kittens like Biqiu Ao, is it necessary to support them?

Pei Wei smiled and said: "Biqiu Jian betrayed, Wei Ye, what do you have to do with me?" ”

In fact, Biqiu Jian lied that he had received the edict of the Empress Dowager Guo, and under the banner of Fu Wei, he rebelled against Sima Shi, but at that time Sima Shi was in power for Cao Wei, of course he couldn't admit it, and he had to declare that Biqiu Jian betrayed Wei. So Wei Weisheng has been dead for a long time, Wei Zhi's traitors, what can't we use?

Besides, Biqiu Ao himself is also a Jin minister, and he didn't see the Sima family mention the past again, saying that this original fish that slipped through the net should also be eradicated......

The key is - "My Pei's foundation is finally in Hedong, and Biqiu is also pleasing to the people, since I came to vote, how can I strictly refuse it?" ”

Pei Gaixin said that I asked Li Rong to weaken the Hedong clan, but fortunately I didn't mention this matter to your uncle, otherwise you would have to be in a hurry with me...... smiled slightly: "What my uncle said is true, but such a cowardly person may not be suitable to enter my line." "After all, the two of them have been guarding Padang for so many years, and they can't calm the people, defend themselves, and invade with thieves, and they will lose their land and abandon them in an instant, and they don't have to talk to each other personally, and they know that they won't be able to do anything, so if I use them, how can I be good if they bring me to the atmosphere of Guanzhongxingtai?

Pei Wei repeatedly persuaded Pei Wei, but Pei should just not allow it, and in the end, Pei Wei had no choice but to retreat: "They came here because they were afraid that the imperial court would punish them for the crime of losing their land, and Wen Yue should also ease his cheeks to win people's hearts - the opportunity should not be lost." ”

Pei Gai nodded and said, This is not a big problem, I ordered Guo Pu to write a letter to help the two of them plead for mercy, and they were exempted from the death penalty, and it was done. Pei Wei shook his head and said: "No, they don't go to Luoyang, but come to Guanzhong first, and return to Luoyang, I am afraid that the court will question Wen Yue Yue...... "After all, Badong will not return to the management of Taiwan, what reason do you have to intercede for the Badong guards?"

In the end, it was agreed that Guo Pu was ordered to write a book, Pei should sign it, and hand it to Yang Qian and Biqiu Ao, so that they could hold this letter and go to Luoyang to pay homage to Xun Song, and ask Xun Jingyou to help ease his cheeks. In this way, Pei Gai is not suspected of overstepping the bounds, and the two of them will still be grateful for Pei Gai's kindness, which can barely be regarded as both.
