Volume 1 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 95 Secret Discussion
This time in Beijing, Guo Bin obviously felt that the atmosphere was different, even in the suburbs of Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, it was also a convenient place for displaced people, and there was a tense atmosphere everywhere, which made people inexplicably nervous.
The displaced people who came to seek help from the central government crowded the feet of the Son of Heaven, which deserved to be the best place in the world, and the rich families were also very rich and generous, and the soup kitchens in the city were like countless stars in the night sky. The servants of the wealthy proudly scooped up the porridge and rice that their masters had given to them into the broken bowls or broken crockpots in the hands of the lowly and insensitive homeless, and then watched them squat on the side and taste the peerless delicacy and enjoy the heat of the porridge and rice.
Guo Bin and his entourage galloped straight to the city gate, one by one dressed in the most popular authentic Yangzhai County-made military uniforms, at a glance at the material, you know that all are genuine goods made of good wool, and then look at the pigskin boots under your feet, is it not a pair of high-end goods in the "Yangzhai clothing" for thousands of dollars? Those who know how to do it silently calculate in their hearts, such a set of outfits is enough for half a year's expenses of the middle family in Beijing.
Looking at everyone's equipment, although the ring-headed blade on the waist is covered by the unpretentious scabbard, you can see from the grip of the ring-head knife wrapped in the top cowhide that it must be a special sword made of stainless steel for the Yulin Army. Coupled with the glowing spears hanging diagonally from the saddle and the cavalry bows and crossbows hanging from the horses' buttocks, it is clear at a glance that these men are elite soldiers.
Look at the war horses under these people's crotch ~ again, they are fat and strong, with long manes flying, four hooves churning, and neighing like dragons. Nearly 100 horsemen roared past, and the momentum shook the sky, and even the noble slaves who were arrogant on weekdays had to avoid the road.
Approaching the south gate of Luoyang City, Guo Bin heard a person on the side shouting loudly: "The person who came is the Marquis of Fulong Pavilion, Yang Zhai County Commander Guo Qianyang?" ”
Guo Bin reined in the war horse, only to see the horse neighing and the person stood up, a pair of front hooves stepped in the void a few times, and then turned around and stopped. In the past six months, Guo Bin has relied on his natural strength to train his equestrian skills quite well.
At first glance, it turned out to be a friend I hadn't seen for a long time, Hedong Wei Zhongdao.
Guo Bin was overjoyed and dismounted, threw the reins, and someone stepped forward to lead him. Haha laughed and walked towards Wei Zhongdao, and said: "Brother Zhongdao, where do you not meet in life!" Ha ha! ”
Seeing Wei Zhongdao, Guo Bin was really happy, the two met in the banquet in He Jin's mansion, although they didn't get along for a long time, but Wei Zhongdao defended Guo Bin everywhere, whether it was in the face of Yuan Shu's insistence on competing with the injured Guo Bin, he angrily reprimanded Yuan Shu; Or when Guo Bin went to Jingmuro Mountain to heal his injuries, he helped take care of the people in the Guo Mansion in Beijing. Although Wei Zhongdao is full of anger, he is very angry, so Guo Bin is also very willing to get close to him.
I saw that Wei Zhongdao at this time was wearing a jacket made of high-quality brocade produced in Linzi, and high-quality cowhide boots produced by "Yangzhai Clothing" on his feet.
Guo Bin was surprised in his heart, so he asked: "Don't be three days, you should be impressed." After a few months, Brother Zhongdao became more and more energetic. ”
Wei Zhong said: "Brother Qianyang praised it falsely. Then he was shy, and said in a low voice: "The next wedding date is imminent, and I was thinking of going to Xinyang Zhai and reporting to Brother Qianyang, but I heard from Yuan Benchu that Brother Qianyang will enter Beijing soon, but it saves the messenger a lot of hard work. ”
Guo Bin listened and hurriedly said, "Oh? Then I have to congratulate Brother Zhongdao, with Brother Zhongdao's family background, I don't know which lady it is, so I can be worthy. ”
Wei Zhongdao waved his hand and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." If you want to say that in Xiayue's house, Qianyang is also familiar with it, it is Cai Yilang's mansion. ”
Guo Bin was taken aback and said, "The little sister-in-law is Miss Cai in the Yilang Mansion?" Cai Yan's graceful and graceful, elegant and noble appearance suddenly appeared in his mind, as if he was born like a fairy. Only then did he suddenly realize why the name Wei Zhongdao was so familiar when he first heard it, but it turned out to be Cai Zhaoji's husband. In fact, with Cai Yong's reputation in Shilin, Hedong Wei's family married him, which can be said to be the right match.
At that moment, he said in a loud voice: "That's really congratulations to Brother Zhongdao, a good couple, congratulations!" Be sure to drink it today! ”
Wei Zhongdao smirked slightly reservedly, and said to Guo Bin: "I have prepared a banquet, just wait for Brother Qianyang to enter Beijing." ”
Guo Bin said: "Uncle Guo is in a hurry to recruit Guo into Beijing, I don't know what is important, wait for the younger brother to go to Uncle Guo's mansion to order a meal, and then come to Brother Zhongdao's mansion to drink and eat." ”
Wei Zhongdao hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's still important to have official business." At that moment, he turned back to the housekeeper behind him: "I will accompany Qianyang into the city first, and the matter of soup porridge will trouble the old housekeeper." ”
Only then did Guo Bin notice that Wei Zhongdao was originally giving porridge outside the city.
At that moment, Guo Bin introduced Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others to Wei Zhongdao one by one, and then entered the city with him.
Guo Bin ordered Guan Yu to lead Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Dong Xing'er back to the house first, and he took Zhang to fly to He Jin's mansion to go up.
The intellectuals in He Jin's mansion all knew Guo Bin, and when they saw Guo Bin coming, they were busy leading the horses, and those who went inside to report were also busy reporting, and they only stunned the officials who had been waiting in the gatehouse for a long time. I don't know which family this young boy is, at such a young age, he has such a big pomp. When I heard that it was Guo Qianyang from Zhai County, Yingchuan, one by one they sighed and envied. Who would have thought that Guo Bin, who had stirred up monstrous waves in the court twice, would be so young?
Zhang Fei on the side stared at the carved beams and paintings with black eyes, and his mouth was full of sighs.
After waiting for a while, I saw the housekeeper of He Mansion running into the warm pavilion in the inner room of the concierge room, which was as warm as spring, and said to Guo Bin: "Lord Guo, our uncle is invited." ”
So, Guo Bin went inside under the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, and Zhang Fei was taken to another courtyard to rest.
The housekeeper took Guo Bin to the outside of He Jin's study, and said inside: "Uncle Guo, Lord Guo of Yangzhai County has arrived." ”
I saw the door of the study open suddenly, and it was not Dunqiu Ling Cao Cao who walked out head-on?
Guo Bin was overjoyed, took Cao Cao's arm and said, "Brother Meng De has also returned to Beijing?" What a surprise! ”
Cao Cao said: "I have just entered Beijing, even if you are almost there." ”
At that moment, I heard He Jin's voice inside: "But the hidden sun has arrived?" Come on in! ”
Guo Bin didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked into the house. I saw that not only He Jin was in the study, but Yuan Shao was also there. Guo Bin saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet everyone.
After some commotion, everyone sat down.
He Jin saw that Guo Bin was wearing a military coat made of wool, dressed in a long way, and he was very satisfied.
said to Guo Bin: "Qianyang is far away in Yangzhai, but he can help me so much, the eldest prince has to establish a prince, and Qianyang has made great contributions." Even the queen asked me to bring a message to Qianyang, saying that I was grateful for Qianyang's efforts. ”
Guo Bin hurriedly got up and said, "Protecting the eldest prince is the responsibility of a courtier, how dare Bin praise it." It is all the great prince's outstanding talents, and the blessing of the Son of Heaven Shengde, so that he can be safe. How dare a courtier be greedy for the merits of heaven? ”
He Jin nodded, very satisfied with Guo Bin's statement. Sometimes, what you want is an attitude, this kind of modest and cautious temperament, which will be welcomed everywhere.
At the moment, He Jin asked Guo Bin to tell the story of what happened in Yangzhai County, although Guo Bin had explained everything to He Jin in the letter, and Yuan Shao must have explained it to him, but after all, it was not as clear as Guo Bin knew, and Guo Bin still had to tell it again in person to be able to analyze it more accurately.
Guo Bin's words shocked Cao Cao, who had heard about it for the first time, and shouted that he should be killed.
He Jindao: "According to reliable information, this time it was Xu Feng, the regular attendant of Zhongchang, who contacted the person in charge of Taiping Dao in Beijing. Taiping Dao gathered more than 200 masters from Yingchuan County to go to Yangzhai, and Zhang Liang, the brother of the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao, personally led the team, but he still let Qianyang flee in the wilderness, and almost all the army was wiped out. ”
Guo Bin said: "It's all about relying on the command of the eldest prince..."
Before he finished speaking, he stopped He Jin and said, "I know what the great prince is like, and the Son of Heaven also knows it." It is true to say that he is kind-hearted, and it is also true to say that he is kind to others, but if it is true to say that he commands properly and is brave, the Son of Heaven also knows in his heart. Therefore, this can be said to outsiders, but we don't have to be like this ourselves. ”
After saying that, Rao is Guo Bin, and he also felt that his ears were hot.
Seeing that Guo Bin was embarrassed, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Why is Qianyang like this? Hahaha! ”
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere eased again.
He Jin glanced at Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao immediately understood, and said, "Qianyang knows that Uncle Guo is in a hurry to recruit you to Beijing this time, what is the matter?" ”
Guo Bin said to He Jin: "I was about to ask for advice." ”
He Jin said to Cao Cao and Guo Bin: "This time, I urgently recruited the two of you to come for the sake of Taiping Dao." ”
Cao Cao and Guo Bin glanced at each other, but neither spoke. The two of them have lived in the place for a long time, and the things about Taiping Dao and the displaced people are naturally clearer than He Jin, who has lived in the capital for a long time.
He Jin continued: "According to reliable sources, Taiping Dao will plot a rebellion in March this year, and there are more than 100,000 Taiping Dao people inside and outside the capital. ”
The two were shocked, of course Guo Bin was pretending, he knew that Taiping Dao was going to rebel since he traveled to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and in the past half a year, all Guo Bin's actions have also revolved around resisting the Taiping Dao uprising. Fulong Villa is located in thirteen states in the world, and the dense intelligence network is also set up for this purpose; Guo Bin made friends with the powerful, made good friends with scholars, and curried favor with the Son of Heaven, which is also an effort to this end. It can be said that for the uprising in Taiping Dao, Guo Bin has made all the preparations he can do. From now on, all he can do is to improvise, take advantage of the situation, and try to protect Yangzhai County in the chaos of the world, and even get a piece of the pie in the feast of cake redivision.
