Chapter 332: A Trip to Jiaozhou (37)

Fan Xiong, the king of Linyi, has been worried about it since he was captured. As the lord of a country, he was broken into the palace and captured back to China, which has never been heard of since ancient times!

He Fan Xiong was originally the grandson of Ou Lian, the first lord of Linyi Kingdom, because Ou Lian's son, who was Fan Xiong's uncle, had no descendants, so the king's position fell to him. He originally thought that as the king of a country, he could enjoy life well, but who would have thought that he would be involved in such a stall. The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty specially sent people to come all the way to Linyi to arrest himself, and what he did could be smaller?

Since the establishment of the state in Linyi, the Zhan people have repeatedly rebelled against the Eastern Han Dynasty, plundered the prefectures and counties, and later rebelled against the district officials, and the large and small battles between the two sides are even more incalculable. It's just that conflict is conflict, and Fan Xiong never thought that the Han court would suddenly launch a large army to the south.

Lin Yi is very close to Jiaozhou, and the people-to-people exchanges between the two sides are also frequent, so there are many spies sent by Lin Yi to Jiaozhou. Not only that, in order to maintain stability in the territory, the Eastern Han Dynasty sent countless spies to Linyi. Therefore, although the relationship between the two sides is pimple, it is clear about the movement of troops in the territory of the other side. Of course, Lin Yiguo only monitored the two counties of Rinan and Jiuzhen, and Panyu, where the Department of Thorn History of Jiaozhou was located, was also closely monitored. China's monitoring of Linyi is mostly people from the Lingnan County Guardian faction such as Ninan and Jiuzhen. Of course, now that Zhu Fu is the new assassin of Jiaozhou, he intends to cheer up, so he also sent many spies to Linyi State.

Therefore, no matter what the enemy moves, the other side will always know at the first time. Taking the current situation as an example, Zhu Fu's move to collect grain and recruit troops in Panyu City has long been in Fan Xiong's grasp. In order to deal with Zhu Fu's possible attack, Fan Xiong also made a lot of efforts, not only to recruit troops, but also to entrust several secluded masters with extremely high status and martial arts in the Linyi Kingdom to recruit warriors in the countryside as a precaution.

According to the normal situation, the Han Dynasty wanted to send troops, starting from collecting food, to recruiting troops, and then to run in between personnel, and to keep in close contact with wealthy and powerful families in various places to obtain support.

In the second year of Emperor Yonghe of Han Shun (137 AD), the Han court once wanted to recruit soldiers from Jiaozhi and Jiuzhen counties to go to Linyi to quell the rebellion, but the recruited Jiaozhi soldiers did not want to go, so they turned against each other. At that time, the situation was very urgent, and the court in the Eastern Han Dynasty government actually wanted to recruit 40,000 horses from Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou to conquer it, but fortunately it was dissuaded by Li Gu, a famous minister at that time, and later decided to send an envoy to recruit and surrender, but in the end it was also unsuccessful.

Therefore, although the officials and troops of the Eastern Han Dynasty were well-equipped and the soldiers were elite, there were too many constraints in the court, and if they wanted to mobilize the army to launch a large-scale war, they had to prepare a lot in advance, so they left too much time for Lin Yi to react.

This time, Fan Xiong was preparing according to the usual practice, and he originally thought that Zhu Fu's army would be able to drive to Rinan County three months later, but he didn't expect that this Han soldier wearing a strange yellow short-placked military uniform, riding a tall horse, and holding a repeating crossbow in his hand, would be so blatant, and he would unknowingly kill into the city of Linyi. It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place, and what else is dark under the light, Fan Xiong really experienced it this time.

But how did he know that Guo Bin hadn't thought about it so much on this trip, just because Wu Luan's provocation to the north failed, and he couldn't be angry that the people of Linyi were bullying the Chinese people, so he relied on the fast speed of the cavalry, and he was equipped with the sharp weapon of the Yuanrong crossbow in his hands. In his mind, as long as he was fast in and out, there would be no danger, but he just happened to accidentally drill the leak.

Along the way, Fan Xiong was terrified, for a moment he was afraid that this Han people would execute himself silently, and for a while he comforted himself and thought that as the king of Linyi, he still had a high value, and these people executed themselves without getting any benefits, wouldn't it be too stupid?

However, he was tied up like this, passing through Zhuangzi until he came to a camp outside the city, and no one came to negotiate with him. The more the other party did this, the more unsure he became, and at last he couldn't help it, so he put down the king's stand and asked these soldiers in a low voice, but no matter how rich he promised, he didn't even care for him.

When passing outside Panyu City, Guo Bin, Guan, Zhang, Huang Zhong and Dong Xing'er broke away from the team. He instructed Guan Hai to bring people to Yangzhai County first, and then took his own handwritten letter and asked Xi Zhicai to send people to Beijing to deliver secret folds and letters to He Jin, Yuan Shao and others, and choose the opportunity to sacrifice prisoners.

After all, Fan Xiong is the king of Linyi, and his identity is extremely unusual, if something goes wrong on the way, it will be very obedient. This is not unfounded, if you wait until Lin Yi comes back to the country and sends a master to rob it, it will be a rampant incident. Therefore, Guo Bin had already thought about it in advance, once he succeeded, he would directly take people to the north, and when the master of Lin Yi Kingdom went north, maybe Fan Xiong would have been sent to Beijing a long time ago.

With the status of the lord of Fan Xiong, even if he is captured now, when he enters the capital on another day, he will be rewarded very richly if he puts on the posture of a vassal state in front of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. The Central Plains Dynasty is very proud of the fact that the surrounding small countries are called ministers and tributes, so the feudal marquis and the like are all small things, although they will not be responsible for specific affairs, but the status they can obtain is definitely much higher than Guo Bin, who worked hard to conquer the south and fight in the north.

In fact, this is also the court's consistent attitude towards vassal states, and there are also areas in Luoyang City today that are specially inhabited by people from vassal states, but most of these people are hostages sent by Xianbei or Huns, and they are raised by high-ranking officials, and if there is a change in their clan one day, they can be lifted out. Whether it is used to deter the enemy country, or used to set up a new king, the court must always occupy the name of righteousness.

It stands to reason that Guo Bin was supposed to take them north together, but when they went south, they put Huang Xu in the Shifu to recuperate, so they naturally wanted to go north with him. In addition, since it is done, whether it is Wang Yue or Zhu Fu, it needs to be reported. Especially Zhu Fu, when he went south, the matter was urgent, and Guo Bin didn't have time to come to the door to discuss in person, which was rude, and now he naturally wants to talk about it. Zhu Fu is the assassin of Jiaozhou, and he has the responsibility to defend the land, although he will not interfere with Guo Bin's southward affairs, but he needs to know the big and small things in his heart.

If Guo Bin and his entourage pat their butts and leave after finishing the matter, Lin Yiguo's follow-up mess will need to be handled by Zhu Fu, who is the assassin of Jiaozhou. Therefore, if Guo Bin really left without saying hello, then he would really have a bond with Zhu Fu. Moreover, this is not in line with the rules of officialdom, but also contrary to Guo Bin's intention to suppress Lin Yiguo, and it is not beneficial to his following arrangements in Jiaozhou. Therefore, Guo Bin must stay in Jiaozhou for a period of time, and he can only go north after the follow-up matters are properly arranged.

Therefore, after returning to Panyu City, the first thing Guo Bin did was to visit the Assassin Shi Mansion and tell Zhu Fu about the causes and consequences of going to Linyi Kingdom. Hearing that the trip went well, Zhu Fu was also extremely happy, and when the army of Linyi went north on another day, his foresight in recruiting troops was reflected. At that time, the slightest resentment of the local people caused by the conscription of the troops was a small thing that could be gently erased. It is his responsibility to defend the territory, and he will not get involved in Guo Bin's southward movement, otherwise the DPRK and China will say that he is provoking the border in vain.

However, if this is done by Guo Bin, it will be completely different. Guo Bin is not an official of Jiaozhou, and Zhu Fu does not have the authority to supervise him in name, so his actions have nothing to do with Jiaozhou, and Zhu Fu has no responsibility for causing trouble. What Zhu Fu wanted was just the credit for resisting the attack of Lin Yi State at that time.

After explaining all this affairs clearly, Guo Bin personally invited Zhu Fu to the Shifu at night for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.

Back at Shifu, Guo Bin obviously felt that Huang Xu's originally sallow and dull face was much more energetic than before, although he had doubts in his heart, he still went to visit Shixie with Wang Yue first. Now Shixie's complexion is much better, but he obviously still can't do anything with others. After Guo Bin briefly told him about going south, he apologized a little to Shixie about inviting Zhu Fu to come to the mansion, and then talked about cotton.

Guo Bin took out a cotton peach that he had picked and said respectfully to Shi Xie: "The younger generation once saw a large piece of white stacks in the Zhuangzi of Jiuzhen County, and asked the people of the Zhuangzhong to know that it was the favorite thing of the seniors. ”

Shi Xie's crane was fluttering, his demeanor was like, he nodded to Guo Bin, and said: "Speaking of this white stack, it can be regarded as a specialty of our Lingnan, and now there are many places in Jiaozhou." It is said that this white stack was passed from the body poison, and it was often used to spin and weave cloth in Jiuzhen County. ”

Guo Bin's eyes lit up and said, "Oh? Is there anyone who weaves cloth out of this white stack now? ”

Shi Xie said: "This cloth has long been recorded in the "Historical Records", called the couch cloth, also called the white stack. Jiuzhen County has to offer to the court every year, and now there is a lot of production, and there are many people in Jiuzhen County who make clothes from this. ”

Guo Bin said: "Dare to ask the seniors, where did the seeds of this white stack come from?" Don't hide it from the seniors, the younger generations love business and commerce, and they want to find out when they encounter strange things. Now that I see this white stack, I love it in my heart, I don't know if my predecessors can cut their love? It pointed out to the younger generations where to get this white stack of seeds, which is also grateful! ”

Shi Xie waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "Qianyang is polite, you have done such a big thing for my Shi family this time, it is too late for the old man to thank him, let alone this seed?" But relax, there are still some of these in the old mansion library, so I'll give them to you! If it's not enough, even if you send someone south to Jiuzhen County to buy it, I will arrange someone to help. ”

Seeing Shixie so generous and heroic, Guo Bin couldn't help but feel quite guilty in his heart. It's just that there is no eyebrow on this cotton matter, and even if you say it, people may not believe it, but fortunately, you will hide it, and you will talk about it when it is really successful in the future.
