Chapter 46, King Qin

Xun Guanniang was more than half of her pregnancy in October, and finally gave birth to a daughter, because she was born in Chang'an, Pei Gai named her daughter "An Niang".

Almost at the same time, Xun Song resigned from the court and returned to Chang'an from Luoyang. Pei Gai didn't know how to place this old man for a good - Xun Jingyou's talent, but he was in the middle of the peace, and his thinking was very old, not like Pei Wei and others, and not as good as many Guanxi officials who Pei should have single-handedly pulled out and trained - in the end, he had to go to the imperial court, worship Xun Song as a free horseman, and serve in the line - specifically in Chang'an, the name is second to Changshi and Sima, but there is only the right to suggest and no actual subordination.

Regarding the marriage of the cat, he had already written to Xun Song to inform him, but Xun Jingyou did not agree to let the cat marry in the name of Yingchuan Xun, so he was scolded by his wife, saying: "In the past, if there was no cat (referring to the cat's dead father), the husband's life would still be incomplete, and he would have today?" Then the cat is like a sister to Guan Niang, and she marries as a daughter of the Xun family, why not?! ”

Xun Song was too lazy to argue with his wife, so he said perfunctorily: "I always have to report to Uncle Taizhang (Xun Group), but he will never allow it......"

His wife said angrily: "Although my uncle is an elder, when it comes to genealogy, my family is the first ......."

Yingchuan Xun clan respected the ancestor of the great Confucian Xun situation, and the eleventh grandson of Xun situation had the Han Lang Ling Ling Xun Shu, as its main branch. Xun Shu gave birth to eight sons, known as "Eight Dragons", of which Xun Song is the "second dragon" after Xun Qi, and is the great-great-grandson of his son Xun Yu; The Xun group is the great-great-grandson of the "sixth dragon" Xun Shuang. Therefore, theoretically speaking, the ranking of Xun Fan and Xun Group is relatively low, and Xun Group himself may not even be as good as his nephew Xun Sui, and Xun Song is the highest ranking among the descendants of Xun Shu who are still alive.

- It's like although Pei Gai is a generation shorter than Pei Wei and Pei Cui, if it is about the main branch, the two can't compete with him.

However, the transfer of power within the big family does not purely depend on the distance of blood, the Xun Fan brothers are the brother-in-law of Sima Yan, the king of Wu, and the uncle of today's son Sima Ye, and they can be called respected - Xun Song's wife is often dissatisfied with this, so she takes this opportunity to directly talk to her husband.

Xun Guanniang had just given birth to a child, and when her emotions were unstable, she had a big fight with her father. Xun Song was not afraid of his wife, and when he saw his daughter's fire, he was inevitably at a loss, and finally had to take a step back - even if the cat was my niece......

Immediately quickly changed the topic, asked about the situation of his fiancΓ©, where he was, when he heard that Yang Qing followed Zhen Sui to the expedition, he couldn't help but pause, and blamed his daughter: "Since you love cats, why don't you let him marry a scholar, but ask for a martial artist?" That is, Xu Wufu, why not let him stay in Chang'an, but let it go? On the battlefield, the sword and arrow have no eyes, and there are injuries, doesn't it hurt the cat for life?! ”

Pei Gai heard the father and daughter arguing outside the door, and couldn't help sighing: "It's the so-called 'suddenly see a strange willow color, and the penitent husband is looking for a marquis'......"

In a blink of an eye, I saw Hu Fei following behind, holding a pen and paper in his hand, and writing a book. Pei Gai couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm not a human king, I'm not a living man, why bother to record everything in my words and deeds?" ”

Hu Ziyun bowed and said: "Because the fourteen words of Ming Gong are quite profound, I am afraid that they will become poems, so they are recorded - Pei Changshi instructed that all Ming Gong poems must be recorded for future collection and printing." ”

Pei Caixin said my "poems"? Basically, there are not a few articles that are really my own creations! I plagiarized the works of "posterity", sometimes for entertainment, sometimes just for feelings, borrowing them to sing - such as this time - although it is absolutely impossible to be exposed in theory, but if it is really collected and published, it is inevitable that my face will feel panicked! hurriedly instructed Hu Fei: "I have no literary talent, I know everything, and occasionally it is one or two rhymes, how can I get into everyone's eyes?" Don't remember, don't remember! ”

He didn't plan to get involved in the arguments between the Xun father and daughter, and he didn't have the ability to play a round, so he simply returned to the study and reviewed the official documents and information exchanged between him. When he learned that Zhen accompanied the soldiers to Luoyang, the imperial court added the number of the general of Zhenxi, and the three divisions of Yitong, he couldn't help but be furious, and said: "How dare this barbarian accept it? Can't even excuse yourself?! ”

The next day, he discussed with Pei Wei, Tao Kan and others, but Tao Shixing only said: "It can be seen that the court is eager to help." Pei Wei said: "The imperial court's move clearly attracts Zhen Sui, and if you want to divide the three armies of the Great Sima, the Ming Duke must not worry." Xun Songshi was also here, he had been in the center of Luoyang for a long time, and he saw this matter more clearly, so he said:

"This must be Taizhang's uncle's intention, and it must be approved by the ancestors. If I were in the court, I would be able to control it; Since his resignation, Liang Situ is weak, which makes the court finally die. Although Zhen did not resign, his heart was very worrying, and the text must be guarded against. ”

There are some things, in front of the public, it is inconvenient to say deeply, Pei Wei later found an opportunity to say to Pei Gai in private: "The so-called 'misfortune and blessing rely on', the court is ordered to follow, and it is not as good as conscripting the generals, or on the contrary, the generals are more focused on the text, and it is not known...... It's just that Zhen has the order to open the mansion, and unlike the generals, it may be inconvenient to control it on a different day, and it can no longer be indulged outside......"

Pei Gai was silent.

Pei Wei persuaded: "Wenyue, if you continue to break it, you will suffer from it!" I know that Wen Yue loves Zhen's bravery, and I can't bear to abandon it, but there is no one else in the army; If it is too indulgent and makes the generals feel cold, then only one person can unify the three armies? ”

Pei Gai said: "However, Zhen Sui is not guilty, how to punish him?" Do you want to blame him for not resigning from the edict of the court? ”

Pei Wei sneered: "If you want to blame it, why don't you worry about it?" ”

Pei Cai gritted his teeth, nodded, and said, "If he is guilty, I will punish him severely; If he is not guilty, the correction is too detailed, and it is easy to hurt the hearts of the generals. I know what my uncle said, and I will see how the war in the east goes, and then make a decision. ”

About ten days later, two copies of the report were sent to Chang'an almost simultaneously. The first report came from Xihe, Liu Yang and others, saying that they had broken the stone life, forced Jiexiu to go into battle, and were dispatching troops and horses, plundering its territory, and forcing the Jin people to enter Pingyang. Pei Wei, Tao Kan and others all congratulated Pei Gai, and then Tao Shixing sighed: "I actually sent Shi Sheng's woman to the head, how poisonous Ouyang Gen's plan is!" ”

Pei Caixin said Listen to what you say, I probably don't know that Zhuge Liang has ever played this trick...... Immediately listened to Pei Wei said: "Before this, Shihu entered Pingyang, and the people of Yong'an, Yangxian and other places migrated to Xihe and Taiyuan; Now the repetition is only two or three out of ten. If Shi Sheng didn't dare to fight again, he could order Liu Yang and the others to follow in, completely ravage the West River, and even force Taiyuan ......"

Pei Gai couldn't help but sigh: "Although it is for the country, it has to be done, after all, the people have been martyred and repeatedly forced to eviction, and I don't know how many families have been broken because ......of it."

Tao Shixing arched his hand and said: "Ming Gong is benevolent, and he has mercy on the people, which really makes us ashamed." But it is not the people who are worried, but the war. As he spoke, he unfolded the map, pointed to Pei Gai and said, "Please see, there is a trail in the north of the mountain, connecting Shangdang and Taiyuan." Presumably, if Shi Sheng is frustrated, he will ask for help from the Shangdang Zhiqu Liu, so if Liu Yang and the others bypass Jiexiu, go deep into the enemy's territory, and even enter the vicinity of Jiuze, they will be afraid of being attacked by the Shangdang army, so they must not worry. ”

Therefore, his opinion is that the Jin army stops at Jiexiu City and can plunder the nearby countryside, but it must not go deep alone.

Pei Wei asked: "How should Liu Yang and others reply to their request for more troops?" ”

Liu Yang won a big victory, forcing Shi Sheng into Jiexiu City, and did not dare to come out in the field again. However, Jiexiu was originally a key pass of the West River, and coupled with the lack of strength of the Jin army, it was quite difficult to overcome it if it was to be attacked. Therefore, in the prelude, he asked Chang'an to respond to the changes in the situation and send reinforcements urgently, if there were 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce the northern front, they promised to conquer Jiexiu within three months, and then occupy the entire Xihe County.

Tao Kan said: "Xihe and Taiyuan, in fact, are one, there is no danger between the two counties, if you get Xihe and do not enter Taiyuan, the offensive and defensive momentum is not good for me." And Taiyuan reverts to the party as a barrier, if Taiyuan is taken and not allowed to join the party, it is not a long-term policy of peace and stability. Therefore, Kan thought that it was necessary to accumulate again, in order to achieve a complete merger in one fell swoop, and at this time, whether it was to take the West River or Taiyuan, it was not a good strategy. ”

These counties are like a big piece of bullock meat, with tendons connected to it, biting constantly and tearing it apart, either swallowing it in one bite, or continuing to accumulate, waiting for the opportunity, wanting to gradually encroach, but it is easy to put oneself in a rather unfavorable situation.

Pei Gai nodded: "What Tao Jun said is true, now Chang'an is not rich in grain, I am afraid that I can't support the expedition of tens of thousands of troops, and the matter of enterprising and merging must be postponed......" He said in his heart, why have I been in a state of shortage of grain almost every year since I entered Chang'an? This war is indeed a money-burning business......

He ordered the secretary Guo Pu: "Write for me and Liu Yang and others, and warn him not to go deep, but to contain Shi Shengke." And it is necessary to prevent the party from coming to the aid from the east. ”

I was just happy here, and soon there was a rumor that Zhen Sui had suffered a big defeat in Hanoi. Zhen envoy Sima Xingwen reported the course of the battle, although it was inevitable to whitewash his recklessness, after all, he did not dare to make a big deal about the specific process. When Pei Wei learned this, he didn't laugh angrily, and said: "Zhen is brave and reckless, so he has this defeat - he should be held responsible, and it is easy to call him back to Chang'an!" ”

Tao Shixing said good things for Zhen Sui, he said: "Victory and defeat are common things, although this battle is defeated but not defeated, it also shows Zhen Sui's ability to use soldiers." And Shi Le lured the enemy with his body, that is, if he was not Zhen Sui, who could endure it and not chase it? He should be punished, but he should not be reckless, so as not to shake the morale of the front-line soldiers. ”

Pei Gai instructed: "Temporarily remember that it is too big to be greater, and order him to make meritorious contributions, if he can't win, it will not be too late to be heavily responsible in the future." Then he asked: "Zhen Sui is defeated, and Wang Shi can only sit in Hanoi and cannot take the initiative to attack, so if Shile takes advantage of the freezing of the river and divides his troops to cross south, what should he do?" ”

Tao Kan sighed and said: "If the ancestor is here, he will be able to make Shile, how can he be afraid of Bi Nandu?" It's a pity that my grandfather is seriously ill...... I don't know who else in the DPRK and China can command the Chinese army. He turned his head and asked Xun Song: "Duke Xun once established a dynasty, do you know if Luoyang is still available?" ”

Xun Jingyou spread his hands and said, "I don't understand military affairs, let alone whether I can identify a general." However, the one who can be the ancestor of the emperor in the DPRK is probably not ......."

When Pei Wei heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "In this case, why didn't Ming Gong invite himself to King Qin from the east?" ”

Pei Cai didn't notice what Uncle Nai was saying, he just twisted his beard and groaned, and said in his heart: Could it be that Zu Ti is going to die? I remember that in the original history, he had to have at least five or six years of life, and it was still in the Eastern Jin Dynasty Imperial Court with Dai Yuan out of Hefei, there was a desire to contain the ancestors, and even lead the army on his behalf...... Why did he lie down in advance now that the situation was so good?

Immediately, I heard Xun Song say repeatedly: "No, no!" ”

Pei Gai was stunned for a moment, and then asked the old man: "What's the matter?" ”

Xun Song said: "Although the ancestor is sick, he is still in Luoyang, if he is invited to Henan to lead the ancestral army, the court will be jealous, and the army will be suspicious." If you lead the athletes from the west to the east, I am afraid that the grain will not continue; If you go to the ancestral army, you will be jealous of the imperial court, and you will be suspicious of the subordinates, can you still have a chance of winning? ”

Pei was confused, and said in his heart that I want to go east to the ancestral army? I don't have this plan, who suggested it?

I heard Pei Wei retort: "For the country, the taboo of the imperial court? Hanoi is in urgent need of reinforcements, Henan must be defended, if the imperial court uses to win people, resulting in the defeat of the ancestral army, even Luoyang is in danger...... "Pei Cai only then understood, oh, it was your uncle's suggestion......

"I think that even if Ming Gong doesn't invite himself, most of the imperial court will come to summon Ming Gong."

Xun Song said: "If the court announces an order to summon, it is certainly different from self-invitation......

Pei Wei smiled and said: "In this case, why don't you ask Liang Situ to play the Son of Heaven and summon the Ming Duke to the east to King Qin?" ”

Xun Song thought for a while, then nodded slowly: "This matter is feasible." I should write to Liang Situ - don't invite yourself, and don't write to Situ yourself. ”

The discussion stopped, and Xun Song immediately went down to write a letter to Liang Fen. However, Liang Fen's old bureaucrat also has a certain degree of political wisdom, and without waiting for Chang'an to reveal his intentions first, he passed through Shangshu Province and asked the Son of Heaven to summon Pei Gai to quickly advance eastward to control the Chinese army and reinforce Hanoi.

The fast horse galloped, but arrived in Chang'an from Luoyang in five days, and the edict was announced. After Pei Cai received the edict, he immediately gathered to discuss, according to his own ideas, the military situation is like fire, and there can be no delay in the slightest, but although he goes to the Chinese army, there is no need to bring many troops, and he can't go to Luoyang alone, who should he lead to help?

All the generals, please come along. Pei Wei said: "This is going to the ancestral army, only Ming Gong can be the commander, if you don't order the general to lead the army, the hussar general's subordinate generals may not be willing to obey orders, but the military battle is unfavorable." ”

Guo Mo said: "What Changshi said is reasonable, but the minister has been in Hanoi for a long time, is familiar with the terrain, and leads the cardinal, that is, in the war in the east, he also plans more, please follow the Ming Duke to participate in the military." ”

So in the end, it was decided to take Guo Mo and Pei Xiong, two generals, and three hundred cavalry, and Pei Gai personally led them to Luoyang. When she returned to the back bed to say goodbye to her wife, Xun Guanniang couldn't help but cry and said: "My birth is born, and my husband is going to go away, and there is really no way to ensure peace on the battlefield...... "If you want to change it in normal times, she will definitely not be so childlike, as for tears, Pei should be rare and unheard of...... I had to hug my wife, so I was relieved.
