Some time ago, according to his nephew's request, Wang Yun recommended Gao Shun to the emperor, and the emperor was very happy and unearthed a talent for the imperial court; and contributed to Zhao Xiong's appointment as the magistrate of Mayi County. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Subsequently, his nephew sent a letter confirming that he had received 100 war horses, and that they were already on their way to the capital, which made him very happy, even if they were not high-quality horses, they were very important to him, and the Central Plains region was especially short of horses.

In his opinion, this Gao Shun and the others are stupid boys who don't understand anything, they don't understand the world, they either only know how to dance with guns and sticks, or they can only chant poems and do things.

By the end of July, he received a letter from his nephew that Mayi County had achieved a great victory and annihilated the Xianbei Thousand People; The Wang family has a special information transmission channel, and the nephew's letter arrived in the capital before the song.

After the shock, his heart began a fierce ideological struggle, first of all, he attributed this total annihilation of Xianbei to his recommendation, if there was no original recommendation from him, how could there be this great victory? secondly, he felt that what he did last time was very inauthentic, and he earned hundreds of war horses from the other party in vain; In the end, he decided to take the opportunity to make a good contribution to Gao Shun and others, and planned to make up for the up-and-comer who was not good last time.

Besides, Gao Shun is the younger generation of Bingzhou, and belongs to the poor family, he recommended Gao Shun as an official, and it will belong to his forces in the future, and it will definitely become a great help for him in the imperial court.

According to the customs of the time, the relationship between the recommender and the recommended person was that of a monarch and a minister politically, and that of father and son emotionally, and that they must be loyal for life; If the recommended person does not change the relationship between courtiers and sons, the relationship between father and son is ungrateful and will be despised by the world.

The well-known Han Fu asked Jizhou to give Yuan Shao because of this situation.

Therefore, he mentioned Gao Shun many times in his nephew, and after he discovered Gao Shun's talent, he spared no effort to recommend Gao Shun to the emperor.

Of course, he saw it as a balance between public and private, and at the same time enhanced his personal image of impartiality in front of the emperor and the nobles.

After Wang Yun summed up in his heart, he decided to personally visit Taiwei Yang Ci to build momentum for the Battle of Mayi.

Taiwei Yang Ci, the word Boxian (also known as Boqin or Zixian), a native of Hongnong Huayin (now Huayindong, Shaanxi); Born in a famous family, his grandfather Yang Zhen and father Yang Bingdu were officials to Taiwei, and they were famous for their loyalty and integrity, and they were proficient in Confucianism and had a high reputation.

Yang Ci felt a little surprised by Wang Yun's arrival, and hurriedly welcomed people into the living room.

"Meet Captain Yang."

"The master doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat."

The maid withdrew after serving tea, and only Yang Ci and Wang Yun were left in the living room.

"Why did Master Lao Zi come in person?" Yang Ci asked straight to the point, his official position is much higher than Wang Yun, and his family is far more prestigious than the Taiyuan Wang family, so there is no need to be polite to Wang Yun.

Wang Yun said politely: "Taiwei Yang, do you remember the matter of the magistrate of Mayi County appointed by His Majesty in May?" ”

Yang Ci smiled: "Hehe, of course I remember, the old man has a deep memory of the poem read by His Majesty at that time." ”

"Captain Yang, I just got a secret report, in mid-July, Ma Yi won a big victory, and completely annihilated the Xianbei Thousand People, which is a big victory that has not been seen in several years."

"Ahh Yang Ci was taken aback. Extrapolating from the time, the emperor was appointed at the end of May, the appointment was delivered in mid-June at the earliest, and he took office at the end of June, and he won a big victory in mid-July.

After being surprised, Yang Ci asked, "Master Zi, if this is really the case, it is indeed a great victory, can you confirm it?" ”

Wang Yun hurriedly replied: "Captain Yang, this is true. My nephew served as the county magistrate in Loufu County, obtained the information of Xianbei's attack, and immediately asked Yanmen County Taishou to give assistance, Taishou refused on the grounds that the magistrate of Mayi County did not ask for help, my nephew was very anxious, if Mayi was lost, Xianbei cavalry went straight downstairs to annoy the county, so he sent people to pay close attention to the battle situation in Mayi, but Mayi County only took six days, and all the Xianbei thousand people who came to attack were annihilated. I reckon the report will be delivered soon, so we'll have to mention it. ”

"What do you mean?" Yang Ci asked treacherously.

"I still have the same point of view as before, I want to recommend Gao Shun as the Taishou of Yanmen County, in order to ensure the peace of the border counties of the state, but I have no choice but to be weak and light-hearted, so I have to ask the Taiwei to come forward to help."

Yang Ci thought for a while and said: "That Gao Shunzhi Wencai old man admires it very much, but he has not reached the weak crown, and this matter needs to be discussed." ”

"Why don't you push Zhao Xiong, the magistrate of Mayi County, to the position of Yanmen County Guard?" Wang Yun asked tentatively.

"Haha, the old man hasn't seen him, so he doesn't dare to assert rashly, it's better to wait for the war report to arrive." Yang Ci didn't want to make wedding dresses for others, it was the Wang family who benefited, and the Yang family couldn't get any benefits.

Wang Yun said worriedly: "I heard from my nephew that the little yellow gate who passed the decree rested at Gao Shun's house for one night, and the relationship was very harmonious, if we can't make a difference, I'm afraid that it will be seized by the eunuchs, and it will be too late to regret it." ”

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, if that's the case, then it's not worth our recommendation." Yang Ci doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles.

"If it is successful, then 10 war horses will be allowed."

"Hehe, how can you be so hasty in military affairs?" Yang Ci said dissatisfied.

"20 horses!" Wang Yun said fiercely.

"Hehe, the master is refreshing! The old man is extremely willing to bring up the younger generations, looking at his literary talents, the old man wants to accept him as an apprentice; As soon as the battle report arrives, the old man will find his son to discuss, how about it? In Yang Ci's view, the Central Plains lacks horses, 20 war horses are already a big gift, if it is money, his Yang family is not lacking, this war horse is another matter, so he agreed to Wang Yun's request.

"Thank you, Captain, for retiring!" Wang Yun scolded the old fox in his heart.

Subsequently, Wang Yun went to visit Situ Yuan Kui again, and Yuan Kui was angry, as soon as the magistrate of Mayi took office, he confiscated the three affiliated families that the Yuan family had placed in Mayi, directly cutting off the Yuan family's way of trading with Xianbei from then on.

Listening to Wang Yun's explanation, how could Yuan Kui do what he wanted? It would be good if he didn't suppress it, and let him support Gao Shun and his gang, without even thinking about it, he directly refused: "Wang Yushi, I hope you don't have to listen to one side of the word, then Gao Shun have you seen?" ”

"Yun hasn't seen it."

"Then have you seen Zhao Xiong?"

"Yun has never seen it."

Yuan Kui was angry and asked: "The battle report has not arrived, how can we distinguish the authenticity?" Why do you care so much about a good family? Don't talk about it again. ”

Wang Yun returned home very disappointed, thinking all the way, why didn't Yuan Kui wait to see Gao Shun? When he was in the court, he was still applauded by Gao Shun's literary talent, why did he change so much in a blink of an eye?

In fact, this is not to blame Wang Yun, although he is the patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang family, but he is far away in Luoyang as an official, and his eldest brother Wang Kui is responsible for family affairs, Wang Yun does not know about the family and Xianbei trade, and the three agent families in Mayi County were destroyed, and Wang Kui is even more impossible to tell Wang Yun, so Wang Yun has been kept in the dark.

After that, Wang Yun contacted Sikong Zhang Ji, Dasi Nong Zhang Wen, Zhu Jun, Taizhong Doctor Qiao Xuan, Guangluxun Liu Kuan, Shizhong Lu Zhi and others, and the promised benefits were naturally a lot, in Wang Yun's opinion, no matter how much the price was paid, it was worth it.

At the end of July, the battle reports of Mayi County and Yanmen County came one after another, and the battle report of the Assassin History of Bingzhou followed, and the battle of Mayi was spread and was rumored to be a great victory for Mayi, which was indispensable Wang Yun secretly fueling the trouble.

Finally found a good seedling, Wang Yun didn't want to miss this opportunity, according to his plan, first secretly build momentum, and then with the Taiwei to the emperor to admonish. Situ Yuan Kui had clearly refused, he had to hug the thigh of the Taiwei Yang Ci, and in order to make things more certain, he asked people to send 20 war horses to Yang's house in advance.
