Chapter 34: The Sunset Rises Again

Beiji County, Nangu City, Jin and Zhao armies have been facing each other for a long time, and it has been more than half a month in a flash, and soon ushered in November of that year.

At dusk on the second day of November, the red sun had just set, and suddenly it jumped up in the air, more than three zhang high, the sky was dark and bright, and everyone who saw it was shocked.

The soldiers and horses on both sides of the confrontation have caused a certain degree of panic and confusion. Among them, Zu Ti Fang ordered Zu Zhi's generals to cover the attack on Fangtou, but the army was defeated before it arrived; Shi Hu wanted to cross the water again and harass the rear of Gucheng, but when the soldiers saw this, they immediately turned around and returned to the east bank, although they refused to continue to advance.

After Shi Hu returned to the camp gloomily, Feng Zhu, who joined the army, said to him: "Lu Yanggong of Xichu fought with Han Shi, and when the battle was in full swing, the sun was about to twilight, so Yang Gong waved to the sky, and the red sun retreated for it. Today's fall and resurgence, perhaps in response to the captain, this can be a big thief, but the army is ignorant, do not know the history, so retreat, isn't it a pity? ”

Shi Huxin said that there is still such a thing? I haven't heard of it either. If you could tell the army about your big trick at that time, maybe you can stabilize people's hearts and not return back...... Feeling very embarrassed in his heart, he found an excuse to execute Feng Zhu within a few days.

Besides, Wang Gong was in the secret, and when he saw this vision, he hurriedly ran out of the city, went to visit his old friend Yu Xi, and asked him what was going on? What is the sign?

Yu Xi was not as flustered as ordinary people, he smiled and said to Wang Gong: "This illusion is also." ”

Wang Gong said that everyone can see it, how can it be said that it is an illusion?

Yu Xi said: "When the sun rises, the sun sets, the way of heaven has its own routine, and there is a reason to fall and come back?" However, the high sky is shrouded in clouds and mist, like a mirror that can reflect the human face, and it is turned into a phantom of the sunset, like a resurrection. "Yu Zhongning has a lot of research on celestial phenomena, even if it is such a strange scene that has not been encountered for hundreds of years, he can say a general reason. But that's the end of it, Wang Gong inquired deeply, and even Yu Xi couldn't explain it clearly.

The prince said: "Even if it is an illusion, since the heavens have shown this illusion, there is no other sign?" ”

Yu Xi squinted at Wang Gong and asked him, "What sign do you think it is?" ”

Wang Gongshen replied mysteriously: "The day of the previous fall and the day of the subsequent resurrection may not be the same day......

Yu Xi hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt his words: "The sun is falling and rising, or showing that the society is in danger and is restored, don't think about it!" ”

Wang Gong suddenly looked upright, looked at Yu Xi deeply, and said, "Zhongning Dacai, Gong will invite the west to Chang'an again and pay homage to Da Sima." ”

Yu Xi said that I have no intention of pursuing a career, how many times have I said it, why are you still unforgiving?

Wang Gong persuaded: "Since Zhongning has no eunuch intentions, who can be stronger?" Da Sima is not Zhuge Daoming (Zhuge Hui) after all, and he will not be difficult for others. However, the Guanxi astrological signs must be different from Xu Fang, is Zhong Ning unwilling to go and watch? But please enter Chang'an, pay homage to Da Sima, and greet me. Maybe Zhong Ning saw that Da Sima was extraordinary, and he was willing to change his original intention, but it is not known. ”

He said that I will write a letter to you to state that you do not want to be an official, so even if Da Sima wants to appoint you despite your own wishes, he will have to save me some face. Even if you go to Chang'an City for me, what's the matter?

Yu Xi couldn't be forced, so he said: "There is a war above the river, and the road is restless, how can I reach Chang'an?" ”

Wang Gong said it's okay, I can send troops to escort you, you can go around the south a little and avoid the battlefield.

What is Wang Zici thinking in his heart, Yu Zhongning has no friendship with him, how can he not see through the reason? But he himself was also curious, what kind of person Pei Da Sima was, even a poisoner like Wang Gong felt that he had an extraordinary life...... It's not impossible to run and take a look at that person, as long as you don't force me to be an official......

So half pushed, half on, three days later, set off, took a car around the south of Mount Tai, to Chang'an.

——————————

Besides, Pei should be in Guanzhong, and he received an edict from the imperial court asking him to reinforce, which was also expected-

Sima Ye must have been timid when he was young, for fear that Zu Ti's troops would be limited and it would be difficult to resist the army; And Liang Fen, Xun Song and other generations will definitely take the opportunity to speak, hoping that my Guanzhong soldiers and horses can make new contributions.

So they took counsel with whom it would be better to send them out on the expedition. Zhen immediately jumped out and said that the Metropolitan Governor, you once promised me in the past, how can you go back on your word? Naturally, I'm going, so why bother!

Pei should ask him: "The son of Qingzi is about to be born, can you bear to leave Chang'an?" ”

Zhen Sui said that the concubine is about to give birth, it will take two months, I stay in Chang'an City, but I am in a hurry, it is better to spend my mind on the battlefield - "It's the governor of the capital, the second son should be born, I am waiting to eat and drink, how can I not hear the news?" ”

Theoretically, Xun Guanniang has already passed the delivery period - but the calculation of the birth period of that year and month may not be accurate - the belly is quite big, but there is no movement before giving birth, Pei Gai can't help but be a little anxious. But he couldn't help but think of an ancient incident—

Thinking that before the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao went east to conquer Liu Bei in Xuzhou, Tian Feng persuaded Yuan Shao, and after sending troops to cover Cao Cao, Yuan Shao rejected this proposal because his youngest son was seriously ill. So Tian Feng hit the ground with a cane and said hatefully: "My husband suffered a bad opportunity, and he lost his meeting with the baby's illness, it's a pity!" ”

If his wife does not give birth at the end of the period, or will be in danger, it is possible to have two lives with one corpse, at this critical juncture, Pei Gai himself is absolutely unwilling to leave Chang'an City and leave his wife's side, which must have something in common with Yuan Shao's mood that day. But Pei should have sent Zhen Sui or some other general to lead the army eastward, Yuan Benchu also has a large group of famous generals, and he can be responsible, so it is not necessary for him to go out in person, why is he resolutely unwilling to send troops?

It is speculated from this that Yuan Shao did not care about the baby's illness and caused a small loss to be big, but purely did not accept Tian Feng's plan, and just found an excuse to refuse. It's ridiculous that Tian Feng didn't realize after all, this person has a very high IQ, but his EQ is a little worse, no wonder he was imprisoned and even executed by Yuan Shao later......

pulled back his thoughts, listened to the suggestions of Pei Wei, Tao Kan and others, and said that since the governor had promised Zhen Sui, he should not break his word and gain weight. So Pei Gai ordered Zhen to follow as the main general and Dong Biao as the deputy general, and led the second battalions of "Lifeng" and "Pengshan" to Luoyang to listen to it.

Different generals have different styles of employing troops, and different battalion leaders are influenced by their commanders or generals, and their qualities and habits are also different. The heavy generals and the heavy soldiers, or the brave generals and the brave soldiers, are as convenient as the arms and fingers, and have more bonus effects, but their shortcomings are also bound to be obvious. That's why Pei Gai tried to mix and match, such as sending Liu Yang to Pingyang to lead Zhen to the old department.

Although you don't want to lead the battalion, the soldiers and generals are not familiar with each other, and it is likely that the mobilization will not be effective, and it will take a while to run in; However, if a certain general leads a certain department for a long time, and the upper and lower levels are integrated, I am afraid that there will be a tendency to become a warlord, and the harm will not necessarily be less than that of the former. Therefore, the lesser of two evils, Pei should let Liu Yang take Zhen with the old department, and this time he ordered Zhen to lead Liu Yang's old department.

Zhen Manzi is too brave, although there has been no major incident so far, but his disregard for his temperament, if he takes it off lightly, he will stab the basket sooner or later. After the reorganization of the battalions, the new "Lifeng" and "Pengshan" second battalions, in fact, should be called the first and second battalions of the fourth brigade of the rear army, with the old foundation of the old two battalions, and also added a lot of fresh blood, and the overall style still continues the past - that is to say, most of the middle-level generals and colonels are Liu Yang and Lu Yan, the former is old and heavy, and the latter is also more secure than the "fire robbery battalion".

As for the battalion governors of these two battalions, they are Zhou Jin and Wang Tang respectively.

Pei should take into account that Zhen Sui is famous after all, that is, leading the camp, and the generals dare not disagree; Moreover, each battalion and each general took turns to fight outside, and there was no one who lived in the center for a long time and lacked practical experience, and once he was released, the soldiers did not know the generals and the generals did not know the soldiers, and a similar situation occurred.

After Zhen and other generals received the order, they immediately set out for the battle. At that time, Yang Qingcai had just been assigned to Wang Tang as a minister, and he was also on the list, and Mao'er also wrote a letter to him, asking him to fight bravely and make new contributions in order to be promoted.

Yang Qing felt bitter in his heart...... I thought that since I returned to Chang'an, I would be able to stabilize for a while-at least I would have to wait until I got married before assigning the mission-who wanted to go to the battlefield again in just a few months. Especially with Zhen Sui, since this guy is going east, most of them are going to pick a tough guy like Shihu, and he is under his command, and the danger factor is not low......

In fact, this is Xun Guanniang's idea, saying that since the cat was promised to Yang Qing, then husband, you should hurry up and find another opportunity for him, and promote him to one more level - the governor is still small - then when the cat gets married, his face will be more radiant. Only then did Yang Qing know that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and blessings are incomparable, not only want to hug his thighs to climb up, but also hope to be in a safe place and spend his days leisurely, how can there be such a perfect thing in the world? !

On the other day, the army drove to Luoyang - on the way to see the sunset and rise again, the generals were naturally frightened, needless to say - Shang Shu Yin Qiao was ordered to go out of the city to meet him. Zhen Sui and Yin Qiao are also old acquaintances, but they are not hypocritical, and ask directly: "Do I need to pay homage to the Son of Heaven?" I'm a barbarian, a rough man, and I really don't know how to be polite. ”

Yin Qiao said that it doesn't matter if you don't understand etiquette, can you learn it...... looked at Zhen Sui's-eating expression on his face, as if to say: The master is the most impatient to learn these in his life! He thought for a while, and then said: "I should be the player, and the general will lead the generals to worship and dance in His Majesty, and I don't have to face the Son of Heaven, nor do I have to be consulted by the Son of Heaven, but I don't have to worry." ”

On the performance, Sima Ye did not allow himself - I think that he was often angry with Suo Qi and Ko Yun in Chang'an City, but now I heard that this Zhen Sui Bi Suo and Koji's subordinates are thicker and more brutal, so it is better not to meet......

So the army was left outside the city, and the generals entered the court to see His Majesty, and sure enough, he only ordered to kneel and knock at the bottom of the steps, and after finishing the decree of the regular servants, he was awarded Zhen Sui as the general of Zhenxi and the three divisions of Kaifu Yitong.

Zhen Sui was originally a four-rank military general, and now he has been promoted to the west of Sanpin Zhenxi, and he is even the first person to open the mansion, and he is a military attaché, theoretically speaking, he is at the same level as Pei Gai, Zu Ti, Xun Group, Liang Fen, Liu Kun and others - compared with the system of later generations, it is also the difference between Zhengguo and Vice Country - such an honor, the first person in the Western Army, even Tao Shixing is not yet qualified.

Zhen Sui himself didn't understand so much, but when he heard that he had been promoted, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly received the decree and thanked God.

However, although the other generals gave more rewards, they did not increase their officials, and everyone was more or less dissatisfied. After Wang Tang returned to the camp, he called Yang Qing to complain - Yang Qing was the future false brother-in-law of the Metropolitan Governor, so it was convenient to send a message to the Metropolitan Governor through him to suppress Zhen Sui. And Yang Qing was originally shrewd, since he was engaged to Mao'er, the courses in the military academy were just perfunctory, and he spent most of his energy on studying the etiquette of scholars and the imperial court system - since I have this marriage, I will definitely be promoted in the future, and I will hand over to the senior officials, how can I not understand etiquette and system-From this, I groaned slightly, and I smacked out the treachery.

He said to Wang Tang: "General Zhen was originally a general of the Great Sima, although he was named by the imperial court, he was actually promoted to the throne and was promoted to the throne. Now the imperial court is not invited by the metropolitan governor, so it worships General Zhen as the public, and the intention of wooing is very clear. And if all the generals are rewarded, it will be enough, and if they are promoted alone, I am afraid that it will divide our army......"

He guessed correctly at all, this is exactly the corner where Xun Group Design wants to start digging Pei Gai, and Xun Song's sudden departure has created the best opportunity.

Not long ago, the sun set again, and the celestial signs warned - of course, no one knows what kind of warning was shown - according to the practice since the Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven will issue an edict of guilt, and the third prince will take the blame and resign. But after all, this is not a traditional omen of a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse or a "glowing and guarding the heart", and there are few occurrences in history, and there is no precedent to help, so the Son of Heaven does not have to sin himself, Sangong, you can do it.

Xun instigated the courtiers to play—middle-level officials in the court, most of whom were his henchmen—to ask the three dukes to abdicate their positions, and the spearhead was directed at Liang Fen.

At present, the important ministers in the court, Xun and Liang are the first to be recommended - as for the great Sima Pei should be in Guanxi, he is not in charge, and the hussar general Zu Ti is out with troops, you are not good at Yi Shuai before the battle - if Xun does not avoid, then Liang has to avoid it; And Xun Group planted party henchmen and took the lead, he himself wanted to continue to occupy a high position, and it was also feasible for Liang Fen to step down alone.

Liang Fen was deeply frightened by this, and was busy discussing with Xun Song, Xun Song said that it would be better for me to abdicate the position, and Situ should continue to stay in the court.

Previously, when Xun Jingyou was promoted to Shang Shuling, he knew that he would not be able to do this position for long, as long as two years, or as short as half a year old, and it was estimated that he would be attacked and ousted. Since it is inevitable to go to the position, it is better to take the opportunity of this celestial warning to go relatively beautifully.

So he blamed himself, saying that Taiwei and Situ did not directly manage the government, and the leader of the government with real power had to be counted as me, so I should resign.

In fact, when the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three dukes were already standing aside, although the position was respectful, most of them were not in power, and they still had to be pushed out to be a shield every time the heavens gave warnings. But since Xun Jingyou took the initiative to express his position, everyone naturally pushed the boat along the river, so as not to cause too much turmoil in the court.

For the Xun group, anyway, Xun Song is also the leader of the Western Party, if he can't bring down Liang Fen, it's the same if he can't bring him down.

After Xun Song went, he did not order Shangshu for the time being, and among the two servants and the six Shangshu, only Liang Yun and Yin Qiao were left in the remnants of the Western Party - the left servant shot Huaheng gradually had the image of riding on the wall - Xun Group took the opportunity to conspire with Zu Na and others, and played with Zhen Sui, who happened to lead the troops to see His Majesty......
