Chapter 266: Politics
In the Han Dynasty, where entertainment was scarce, the Keju tournament would undoubtedly become a novelty that attracted many people to watch.
In the Central Plains, Keju is extremely popular, but anyone who mixes the rivers and lakes, or is an idle gentleman, cockfighting and lackeys are just ordinary. Therefore, the original Taiping Dao people who were born in the rivers and lakes are really familiar with Keju alone. Although the Xianbei people are quite strong in force, and often take the allusion that the big single Yu Tanshihuai once refused to be knighted by the emperor of the Han family, but in essence, they are extremely worshipful of the advanced and civilized Central Plains culture.
Many children of Xianbei nobles who were able to do so often learned the culture of the Han people through traders who traveled between Hu and Han. Therefore, among the Xianbei people, who were still in the barbaric stage, the entertainment activities of the Han people were also extremely popular. And the most widely used audience and the most popular among the Xianbei people is Keju.
Because Keju is highly confrontational and the process of making it is extremely simple, it is very convenient to find some animal fur on the grassland. Moreover, it was passed down from the Han Chinese, so the popularity of this entertainment was second only to its ancestral entertainment wrestling.
The rules used in the Keju competition organized by Guo Bin were roughly the same as at this time, except that many confrontations were so intense that they caused harm to other team members were prohibited.
There were 12 players on each side, an increase of one compared to later generations, which was to balance the number of Han and Xianbei people. Because in each team, there must be half Han and half Xianbei, which is not only fun, but also can enhance mutual trust and cooperation between the two sides.
In terms of character in terms of ball quality, there are more Han players in the field who are slightly better than ball skills and are more familiar with the rules, while the Xianbei players mostly rely on their fierce and stout bodies for direct confrontation, so in comparison, the Han people are more skillful, while the Xianbei people are more aggressive.
The players on both sides are selected from their respective armies, so everyone is very popular in the army, and each has a vote to support his brother. When the game started, everyone cheered for the players they were familiar with. When the competition is fierce, where does it matter if you are Han or Xianbei? In line with the principle that as long as you are teammates, you are your own person, and the shouts and shouts on the field are one after another, which is really lively.
Looking at the soldiers of the Han and Hu sides who were still tense yesterday, and now they are shouting and cheering for the team of one side at the same time, as if there is no barrier, Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang and others can't help but respect Guo Bin more and more.
As early as when he got the news that Helian was going south, Guo Bin notified the Luoyang side with a flying pigeon message. Because from the three cities outside the Saiwai to Luoyang, it is a planned route, and the terrain and interpersonal relationships along the way are also handled very well, and the flying pigeon that can exchange information is the top priority of infrastructure construction.
However, because the distance for carrier pigeons to transmit messages is extremely limited, the continuous delivery of information can only be achieved by setting up one pigeon station after another along the way. From the three cities outside the Saiwai to Luoyang, a total of more than a dozen pigeon stations have been set up to ensure the timeliness of information transmission.
After Guo Quan, who was sitting in Beijing, got the news from Guo Bin, he hurried to Yuan's mansion to seek Yuan Shao's help. After getting Guo Bin's news, Yuan Shao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to He Jin's general's mansion. Xianbei went south, but it was a big thing, how could it be ignored? Moreover, now that Guo Bin's news has only been transmitted to Yuan Shao, he can be well in front of the general He Jin. This kind of big thing, how to deal with it, how to deal with it, all need to be carefully demonstrated, where is the thing that can be decided with a pat on the head? Therefore, the sooner you get the news, the more time there will be for preparation and discussion, and after the news is really conclusive, when the Son of Heaven asks about countermeasures, you can also be prepared, right?
After coming out of Yuan Shao's place, Guo Quanzi rode his horse to Lu Zhi and Cai Yong in turn. Originally, Huangfu Song also wanted to send a letter, but now that the Qiang people in the northwest are in turmoil, Huangfu Song has made great contributions in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so under the recommendation of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, he was edicted by the imperial court and led the army back to Chang'an.
Don't think that Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong are kind, there has always been a rule in officialdom, the so-called "do more wrong, do less wrong, don't do good". In other words, if you are mediocre in the officialdom and do nothing, you will at least not be singled out for mistakes. Especially when it comes to Huangfu Song's current high position, he is neither a relative of the emperor nor a confidant minister who is very close to the Son of Heaven, but in the high position of a general of the chariot and cavalry, his status is second only to the general He Jin in the military generals of the DPRK, and his prestige in the army is unmatched. It can be said that the status reached by Huangfu Song at this time has reached the limit among ordinary courtiers.
Therefore, Huangfu Song trembled, closed his door, ignored the government, and was too late to be a low-key person, where would he still think of going to the northwest to make meritorious contributions? Do you want the Son of Heaven to make him a hussar general or even a general? Historical experience has long told us that high merit is difficult to reward, and the most important way to defeat is to lose.
Huang Fu Song once offended Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, where would they let Huang Fu Song rest assured to go to the northwest to get credit? Recently, I heard that someone wrote to the Son of Heaven that the impeachment of Huangfu Song could not be postponed, and the war was fruitless. And Liu Hong, the son of heaven, has an ambiguous attitude, and he neither agrees nor dismisses these twists and turns, which is very elusive.
On the way out of Beijing, he said to Guo Bin: "In the past year, Huangfu rode south to fight in the north, successively made great contributions to Changshe and Guangzong, and had great grace to the people of the Central Plains. The Northwest Qiang Chaos is a disease of moss, and a fierce general can be put down with a backhand, where can I use the Huangfu car to ride in person? The Son of Heaven just used the hands of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong to let him go to Chang'an to suffer a small loss and then come back, so that if he cut his official title again, he would have a reason, and it would not be too conspicuous. ”
When Guan Yu heard this, he said angrily: "Hmph! There is no way in the court, and the villain is in power! Huangfu rode a hero to the world, we should try to remind it! ”
Xi Zhicai smiled and waved his hand, and said: "This is all deliberately done by the emperor's chariot, so why should we do this more than if we are wise enough to protect ourselves?" ”
Guan Yu looked puzzled and said, "The words of the military advisor are so strange. Could it be that being framed by a villain is also something that the emperor can imagine? ”
Xi Zhicai said: "Huangfu's uncle Huangfu Gui, one of the three Mings in Liangzhou, his father Huangfu Festival, once served as the Taishou of Yanmen, the border of Jiuzhen, the origin of General Huangfu's family learning, where is the reckless person?" There are many people in the scene, where can you not think of the four words of high merit and shock? Has Yun Chang forgotten about Yan Zhong? ”
Suddenly, after the Yellow Turban Army of Zhang Jiao in Guangzong City was surrendered, the folk song that circulated in Jizhou came to everyone's hearts. Since then, Huangfu Song has had the idea of defiling himself to protect himself, and now where will he stray? Come to think of it, after all, Huangfu Song is a person who has made great contributions to quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, if it is really too miserable, won't it chill everyone's hearts? With the lesson of the disaster of the party at the beginning, how could the Son of Heaven do such a stupid thing again?
Thinking of this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, although Huangfu Song may be reprimanded by the Son of Heaven, and even reduce the rank and demotion of officials, it should not be too much damage. It's just that now that Guo Bin has encountered such a thing as the three cities outside the Saiwai, where would he be cheeky to bother Huangfu Song, who seems to be "taking care of himself"?
However, things went so smoothly that it was beyond everyone's expectations, and what Guo Bin asked for at the beginning was nothing more than pulling Putou to confront Helian. With the long-term cooperation between the three cities outside the Saiwai and the Putou department, the two sides have formed a relationship of mutual trust, and it is through the goods of the three cities outside the Saiwai that Putou trades with the western Xianbei, which not only obtains great profits economically, but also politically wins the approval of the chiefs of the western Xianbei tribes. Putou Shan Yu is in the minds of the Xianbei tribes, so it can be connected with the harmony for a long time, which is also one of the most important reasons.
Obviously, if Helian really captured the three cities outside the Saiwai, the merchants of the Central Plains would no longer dare to come to trade outside the Saiwai, and Putou would never have such a stable source of income again, and its trade relations with Xianbei in the west would inevitably be terminated as a result. It was Helian himself who started to run the three cities outside the Saiwai, where would the merchants of the Central Plains believe him and come to do business with him without any scruples? Even if everything is as it is, regardless of the management chaos caused by the lack of talents, it is just that the three cities outside the Saiwai have changed owners, and it is no longer possible for Helian to conduct equal and fair trade with Putou, and it is bound to compress the living space of the Putou department through trade. This is the case on the grassland, how can one mountain accommodate two tigers?
Therefore, supporting Guo Bin's war against Helian is the smartest and only correct choice for Putou. It turns out that there is meat to eat with Guo Bin.
A great victory in the Thang Long Valley, and the death of Lian, also completely ruined the political and military status of Dadan Yuting. The death of Helian made Putou have the qualifications to compete for Da Shan Yu again, because Qian Man is young and difficult to convince the public, and Pu Tou is the grandson of Da Dan Yu Tanshi Huai, and he is also one of the most powerful tribal chiefs on the grassland today.
At the beginning, Guo Bin urgently summoned Fu Luohan in order to let him convey his opinion to Putou. Guo Bin means that the Han court will issue an order to seal Putou as Xianbei Dadanyu. On the surface, since it has been recognized by the Han court, the three cities outside the Saiwai have nothing to do with Putou whether they live or die. Because he has obtained the seal of the Han Dynasty, he is the courtier of the Han Dynasty, and there will be merchants who come to trade.
However, of course, Guo Bin could not let him go so easily, and the condition for Putou to obtain the title of the Son of Heaven was to send troops to the three outer cities, directly intervene in the war, and engage in a head-on conflict with the Helian Division. In this way, the three cities outside the Saiwai can be regarded as pulling up a very powerful ally outside the Saiwai.
And this matter cannot be excused by Putou, because whether he agrees or not, the news of the imperial court's plan to appoint him as Da Danyu will spread to all the ministries outside the Saiwai. The so-called gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty. In political struggles, many times it is not about whether you want to do something, but whether you have the strength to do it. In the battle for the throne, as long as you have the qualifications to compete for the throne, you are the first to be eliminated. Therefore, as long as the news of the imperial court's plan to seal Putou as Da Danyu spreads, the contradiction between Putou and Helian will be intensified, and there is no room for turnaround.
At that time, unless he personally went to kowtow to the company to apologize, or even cut off a piece of meat from himself and fed Helian, the only way left was to be tough with Shan Yu Wang Ting. Guo Bin's hand was all about Yangmou, and Putou had no room for regression, so he could only rush forward. ()
