After receiving the order, Da Honglu Taihang ordered people to immediately rush to make the champion Hou Jinyin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The emperor ordered Zhong Xuan, the attendant of the Yellow Gate, to go to Jizhou and Qingzhou to issue a holy decree.

Zhong Xuan (151-230), the character Yuanchang, was a native of Yingchuan Changshe (now Changgedong, Xuchang, Henan).

On July 28, Zhong Xuan arrived at the Guangzong military camp and awarded Gao Shun the title Hou Jinyin.

Zhong Xiang held the festival and came on behalf of the emperor, Gao Shun did not dare to slack off, and ceremoniously entertained Zhong Xuan.

It was the first time for Zhong Xuan to eat such a delicious food and drink such a strong wine, he was very satisfied, and said: "I used to just hear rumors from people in the palace that the prince had paid tribute to a kind of fine wine, which was clear and transparent, and the mellow aroma was incomparable. It's a rare wine. ”

"Hehe, it's good that Yuan Chang likes it, this is leisure, brewing according to the ancient method, but the process is complicated, and it can't be brewed in large quantities."

Zhong Xuan is also a lover of wine, and he drank a few glasses with everyone; In addition to being excited, he remembered the rumors in the capital that Gao Shun had the literary talent to write poems, so he invited Gao Shun to write a poem on the spot about the marquis.

Gao Shun couldn't refuse, so he had to respond.

He originally wanted to write in block letters, considering that he would try not to change history, and he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of Zhong Xuan, and after thinking about it, he wrote a poem on white silk in Lishu font:

Jiazi years old marquis has a feeling

Zeguo entered the war map, and the people planned to enjoy Qiaoqiao.

Relying on the words of the king to seal the marquis, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither.

Zhong Xuan read it carefully and praised: "Hahaha, the prince and the prince, it is really worthy of the name, the heart of worrying about the country and the people jumps on the paper, and it is worthy of the noble feelings of "the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world". ”

Gao Shun thought to himself, fortunately he was a liberal arts student in his previous life, and he recited some more ancient poems, and now he has become a copyist, otherwise he will make a fool of himself, so he said modestly: "Yuan Chang has won the award, and the poem is Xiao Daoer!" Come, keep drinking. ”

Zhong Miao thought to himself, this poem really should be in response to the situation, and with a wave, he exhausted the difficulties of the people's livelihood at that time and his state of mind as a marquis, and praised: "Junhou, this poem does not have the majestic atmosphere of "Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shiguan", nor does it have the majestic momentum of "Iron Horse Glacier into a dream", and the implied benevolence does not match your "iron-blooded military" identity. However, with this poem alone, the prince will be famous through the ages. ”

Gao Shun said with a smile: "Yuan Chang, at this time and that time, I was facing barbarians at that time, and I must face it with iron and blood, showing my heroic style; But now they are facing the big Han people who are hungry and unclothed, and they are all killed, and they can't bear it. ”

Originally, Zhong Miao was not convinced by Gao Shun, but now look at Gao Shun, not only is he strong, his facial features are very upright, and he can write and martial arts, he is indeed a rare talent, just with a few poems that have been circulated now, he has already established his status in the literary world, even if he does not rely on merit to become a marquis, he can be famous for eternity.

Now the Shi family in the capital is the enemy of Gao Shun, which is too unwise, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer in the future; Not to mention anything else, just by virtue of Gao Shun's age advantage before he reached the weak crown, it is not comparable to the senior officials of the imperial court, and no one in the younger generation can be Gao Shun's opponent.

Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Zhong Xuan revealed some news in the capital to Gao Shun, which surprised Gao Shun very much.

The next day, Zhong Miao went to Qingzhou to announce the decree, and Gao Shun gave him five jars of fine wine, and Zhong Miao smiled happily.

Subsequently, a junior civil official and a junior military attache were arranged to carry 200 catties of gold to the capital to thank Zhang Rang; He affirmed that this reward must be inseparable from Zhang Rang's support.

Everyone congratulated: "Congratulations to the lord for being a marquis!" ”

Gao Shun smiled: "What are you happy about? It's better to reward some money and food, and Gonghuan and Gongming only got a miscellaneous captain, and they felt deeply unhappy for them. ”

However, he was still very happy in his heart, before, in addition to Huo Quai, there were two people who had won the title of Champion Hou, which was in line with his young image; In any case, this is also the county marquis of the Golden Seal and Purple Ribbon, which represents a change in his identity.

Li Qiang said with a smile: "My lord, it is already a great gift from Your Majesty that Zizheng can get the position of Prime Minister of Jinan." ”

Everyone also echoed this opinion, and now the Gaoshun forces control the four counties on the surface, but in fact, there are five counties, plus 3 county seats, and the strength is already very strong.

Wen Chou and others also deeply felt that it was better to follow a good lord than to sell his life directly to the court, and it was better to enjoy the shade under the big tree; Wen Chou captured Zhang Jiao alive, Gao Shun appointed him as Sima of other departments, and the emperor only rewarded a miscellaneous captain, Gao Shun provided them with money, food, soldiers and horses, etc., the emperor was just an empty word, this is the gap.

Everyone thought to themselves that the emperor's reward had come, and it was time for Gao Shun to give the order to attack Guangzong.

Yan Liang asked, "Lord, when will we start attacking the city?" ”

Gao Shun said with a smile: "Hehe, don't worry, didn't Yuan Chang say it, the major scholar clans in the court have donated money to His Majesty the Emperor to help the army, and they will also transfer Dong Zhuo to the battlefield in Yuzhou, we are not in a hurry, it is not too late to occupy Guangzong before they pacify Yuzhou, otherwise it will be even more hated by the scholars." ”

Li Qiang said solemnly: "The lord is right, if the reward comes, we will immediately attack the city, which will leave a bad impression on outsiders and Your Majesty, they will think that if we didn't attack the city before, we are blackmailing the rewards of the imperial court, and we will even be attacked by the scholars and court officials because of this, so it is better to be careful." ”

Everyone thought so, Gao Shun didn't need to say much, and ordered people to step up military training.

Afterwards, Gao Shun thought to himself that although his arrival had changed history a little, Dong Zhuo still appeared, and since this was the case, he secretly supported the Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains and caused more trouble for the scholars.

At the same time, he also realized that although other things have changed, the inertia of history is still rolling forward, and the change will not be too great; And the next danger he faced was not only from the Yellow Turban Army and the Shi clan, but also from other races, he remembered that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion in history, the Wuhuan cavalry took advantage of the situation to enter the fortress and plundered the four prefectures of You, Hebei, Qing and Yan, and he had to guard against it.

So he wrote a letter to Fang Liang, explained it in detail, and asked him to follow the order.

He wrote letters to Xiang Rong, Cao Shan, Zhou Fei and others one after another, asking them to strengthen their defenses and pay attention to the movements of the Wuhuan people at any time; Zhang He and Zou Jing were ordered to step up the recruitment of troops on the premise of paying attention to the movements of the Wuhuan people, and the cavalry and infantry in each county were all expanded to 2,000 people, so as to prepare for the battle against the Wuhuan.

Five days later, Zhou Cang returned and gave a detailed account of the situation at Bocai.

Gao Shun and Li Qiangqiang are happy.

Li Qiang suggested: "My lord, you should inform Qu Shuai Bocai of the increase in troops in the capital as soon as possible, so that he can prepare as soon as possible, otherwise he will definitely be defeated if he is attacked inside and outside." ”

Gao Shun said: "The soldiers and horses brought by Dong Zhuo must be all cavalry, and I am now worried about whether the Yellow Turban Army gun formation can resist the charge of the cavalry, which requires a lot of courage and discipline to guarantee, otherwise everything will be in vain." ”

Li Qiang also had no good way, with the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army, he would not be able to fight against Dong Zhuo's cavalry in the field, and he would definitely be defeated. So he said: "My lord, Changshe is a horse to the south, and there is the Yellow River to the north, once it is defeated, it will be quickly slaughtered by the cavalry, if they are allowed to control the Yellow River crossing in advance, and move the old and weak to the north of the Yellow River, in case of attack, you can throw off the officers and soldiers, and enter the Taihang Mountains to take refuge." ”

Gao Shun said: "This method is good. ”

Zhou Cang knew the danger of the situation from the conversation between the two, and without waiting for Gao Shun's arrangement, he asked to go to Changshe again.

Gao Shun nodded in agreement, and hoped that Zhou Cang would stay there for a while, and suggested that Bo Cai concentrate all the forces of Peng Tuo and others to Changshe, fight to the death with the official army, and if nothing could be done, he could move north to Hanoi County with his family.

Zhou Cang took the order and left.
