Seeing Guan Ning's attitude, Gao Shun asked, "What is You'anshang's dissatisfaction?" ”

Guan Ning took a step forward and saluted Gao Shun and said: "Prince, although the position of the county order is humble, it is the important weapon of the country to inherit the court and care for the people, and it needs to be appointed by the court, how can it be ordered by the prince?" ”

Guan Ning is eight feet tall, with a long beard and white face, and a handsome appearance.

Guan Ning, born in 158, is a native of Zhuxu County, Beihai County (now Anqiu, southeast of Linqu, Shandong Province); Nowadays, it is called "a dragon" with Huaxin and Bingyuan; The allusion of cutting off the table has been passed down through the ages.

Gao Shun was shocked in his heart, remembering that Guanning was not subordinate to Wei for life in history, and was loyal to the Han family, and it was true, so he smiled and said: "Haha, You'an is worried a lot, you are all arranged to serve in the counties of Qingzhou, and the order issued by the Qingzhou pastor appointed by the imperial court is the power of the state pastor, and it does not violate the law of the Han Dynasty." ”

Guan Ning did not refute Gao Shun's words, this is indeed the power of the state minister, and Zhou Fei has the right to appoint the county magistrate in the jurisdiction; Instead, he asked: "The prince is the pastor of Jizhou, and he left the jurisdiction without permission, so why do you want to?" ”

Although Gao Shun is only the pastor of Jizhou, it is an open fact that he is in charge of Youzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Liangzhou, etc., but everyone does not say it, Guan Ning's accusation made Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi and others present very embarrassed.

In the face of the accusation, Gao Shun smiled calmly and said: "Haha, this marquis is a chariot and cavalry general appointed by the imperial court, and it is also one of his responsibilities to inspect the Quartet. ”

Guan Ning continued to ask rhetorically: "The prince is a chariot and cavalry general appointed by the imperial court, who is in charge of the right to conquer and rebel, and now Dong Zhuo is causing trouble in the capital and endangering the people; And the general controls the five prefectures of You, He, Qing, Hebei, and Liang, and the soldiers are strong and strong, why not wave troops into Beijing, clear the monarch's side, rescue Your Majesty, and return the people of the world to peace? ”

Gao Shun knew that he had fallen into Guan Ning's trap, and decided not to answer his question head-on, but asked rhetorically: "The battle between Qiang and Han in Liangzhou lasted for a hundred years, and it was not possible to quell the rebellion with the power of the imperial court, how could it be so easy now with the power of only a few counties?" If the soldiers of the border counties are transferred, the barbarians will come back in an instant, and they will bring great suffering to the people of thousands of border counties; And without an order from the imperial court, how can Shun be a foreign minister, how can he bring the border army into Beijing? ”

Guan Ning said with a smile: "General, you can send troops from Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou and Qingzhou, quickly surround the Beijing Division, quickly fight a quick battle, and then quickly return to the border county, but you can protect the border county." ”

Gao Shun retorted with a smile, "Haha, how can the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops end in a short period of time?" Moreover, it will inevitably lead to wars and chaos in the Central Plains, and the lives will be ruined, which is not what I want. ”

Zheng Xuan hurriedly came forward to play a round and said: "Your Majesty is still in the capital, and the general is a rat trap, so you must have a perfect strategy." ”

Kong Rong was a person loyal to the imperial court, and objected: "The prince is an official of the imperial court, if there is no imperial decree to bring foreign soldiers into Beijing, how is it different from Dong Zhuo?" ”

Cai Yong was in a complicated mood, and saw the problem, but he didn't know how to face it, so he asked: "Even if Dong Zhuo is removed, how should he face many local princes?" They are not going to hand over the power in their hands easily, do they want to start a national war? ”

Gao Shun saw that everyone had no better opinions, and continued: "Since everyone thinks so, let's take this opportunity today to speak freely and have a good discussion, where to go, and how to do it to benefit the Han and the people?" ”

Zheng Xuan and others were very satisfied with Gao Shun's modest attitude.

The Yang family is also a big family, but the Yang family adopts a different strategy from the Yuan family; The Yuan family hoped to seize local military power, and then coerced Dong Zhuo to give up control of the imperial court and withdraw from Luoyang, and even had plans to replace the Han; The Yang family hoped to fight against Dong Zhuo in the imperial court and force Dong Zhuo to relinquish power, so that the impact on the Han would be small and the destructive power would be small.

Yang Xiu is the grandson of the late Taiwei Yang Ci, and the son of Yang Biao, who is now Sikong; Yang Xiu's teaching here is the Yang family's self-preservation strategy, so that Yang Biao can give Dong Zhuo a fight in the capital without any scruples.

Yang Xiu knew the family's strategy, and he himself opposed Gao Shun's entry into Beijing; Seeing Gao Shun say this, he went forward and saluted everyone and said: "Xiu Yuan is the envoy of the prince and the prince, go to Luoyang, and persuade Dong Zhuofang to withdraw from the capital, return to Liangzhou, and return the world to peace." ”

This is completely not in the interests of Gao Shun, and will even cause Dong Zhuo's misunderstanding, and he doesn't want to be used, so he immediately retorted: "On the day of the army, Shun was determined to go to the border county to protect the Han people from being plundered and killed by barbarians; Shun had promised the first emperor that he would never interfere in the affairs of the DPRK and China, how could he lose his trust in the first emperor? Besides, Dong Zhuo is a tiger and wolf, and it is meaningless to advise him. ”

People in this era are still very faithful to their promises.

It turned out that Gao Shun also appreciated Yang Xiu's talent and eloquence, and was ready to take over the position of trial and match after some exercise, specializing in foreign affairs, but now it seems that these people are not worthy of trust and reuse, they will only think about the interests of the family, otherwise, it is easy to be betrayed and make wedding dresses for others.

was directly refused, Yang Xiu was very disappointed, he originally hoped to use Gao Shun's military force to assist his father and others to force Dong Zhuo out of the capital, complete the family's plan, and achieve control of the imperial court, but Gao Shun did not take the bait.

Everyone also felt that what Gao Shun said was true, how could Dong Zhuo be easily persuaded to leave?

Lu Zhineng is capable of literature and martial arts, thinking to himself, Gao Shun can control so much territory, there are so many officers and soldiers under his command, the power and wisdom are above everyone, there must be plans not to be known to outsiders, even if he is forced to enter Beijing now, it will be useless, if hundreds of thousands of troops fight in the Central Plains, the disaster will be immeasurable, so he supports Gao Shundao: "If the prince and the prince lead troops into Beijing, the Central Plains war is inevitable, and the lives will be destroyed; If the alien races in the four frontiers take advantage of the situation and have no one to defend them, the Han Dynasty will be in danger! If the prince maintains the status quo, it is also a policy for the country and the people to ensure the peace of the people in several states and the border counties to be protected. ”

Gao Shun couldn't help admiring Lu Zhi's vision and saw the harbinger of the chaos of the five nonsense.

Zheng Xuan and others felt that Lu Zhi's words were very pertinent, and maintaining the status quo might be the best choice; If Liangzhou is pacified again, it will be a great merit to be able to ensure the tranquility of several states.

Manzhong is the youngest of the ten, it is the age of enthusiasm, listening to Lu Zhi's remarks, it feels very correct, since he can't participate in the battle of the Central Plains, Baobian County Anning can also make contributions, so he took a step forward, saluted and said: "Junhou, Qingzhou is rich and stable under the governance of Guangnianhou, there is no need for pet's participation, pet is willing to go to Liangzhou, do his best, keep one side safe, and hope that Junhou will approve." ”

Seeing that everyone was no longer entangled in the matter of him waving his troops south, Gao Shun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the number of the Han is still there, and the loyalty of everyone to the Han is still there, so it is advisable to carefully sum it up; And Man Chong changed the topic in time, which made him very satisfied, so he approved: "Haha, okay, Boning is dedicated to the country and is loyal, you can go to Liangzhou, listen to it under Guangnian Hou, and enjoy a thousand stone salary." ”

"Thank you for pampering the prince!"

Although there is chaos now, the Han family still has a certain prestige, and Guan Ning and the other nine people saw that they could not persuade Gao Shun, so they accepted the appointment to serve as the county commander.

When everyone dispersed, Fang Liang was dissatisfied with everyone's attitude, and coerced Gao Shun so much, which made him very angry, so he asked, "Lord, why are you so polite to them?" ”

"Haha, at least be polite to them on the surface, and when we unify the Central Plains, it won't be like this; Otherwise, these people will be thrown into the arms of other princes and used by others, which will make it more difficult for us to unify the Central Plains. Let's not discuss this issue for now, but get ready to go to Taishan County tomorrow! ”

"Yes, my lord!" Fang Liang immediately went down to make preparations.
