Chapter 101 Reactions of the Parties
After Gao Shun led the troops to set off, the people of the entire Loufu County learned that there were three high-ranking officials at the Taishou level in Taoyuan Fort. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The most regrettable is the third old man of Xixiang, Lou Wei, who had contact with Gao Shun and others very early, and was also very optimistic about this group of young people, but due to personal prejudice, he did not actively lean forward like Du Bian, and missed a good opportunity; When he learned that Du Bian was appointed as the county governor of Mayi County, he was even more envious and jealous.
Gao Jian, who has similar thoughts to the third old Lou Wei, was very optimistic about Gao Shun at the beginning, otherwise he would not have been cheeky to stuff Gao Qiang into the village protection team, what made him regret was that he did not participate in the village protection team, otherwise he would at least be a capital uncle now, if he was released, he would definitely be able to serve as a county lieutenant, no matter what, it was much better than farming at home. He decided that after Gao Shun returned to Taoyuan Fort again, he must give up his face and beg Gao Shun that he would join the cavalry.
Even the old village chief didn't expect that in such a short period of time after the establishment of the village protection team, a county magistrate and three people who were too guarded would become a big force on the Weizhen side in less than a year; And they think that Li Qiang and Ma Gui, who are more powerful, have not come out, and they must be disgusted with the low status of Taishou; To what extent this force will develop in the future, even the old village chief can't see through it.
In the countryside, let alone being too guarded, the county magistrate is the biggest official they can meet; Even the three elders and others were behemoths in front of them.
He couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he followed Gao Jian's advice last time and sent his son to join the village protection team, although he is just an ordinary cavalryman at present, but as long as Gao Shun's power continues to develop, Gao Shun will definitely not let Gao Yu be a soldier for a lifetime.
After the county magistrate Wang Xuan sent Gao Shun and others away, he was in a good mood, and immediately wrote a letter to the uncle in the capital, describing to him the matter of befriending Gao Shun, and then told about the strength of Gao Shun's army, although the number is not much, but each soldier is a strong man, with complete armor and strong horses.
Last time, Uncle Clan sent a letter saying that the hundred war horses sent by Gao Shun were very good, both in terms of endurance and speed, they were much stronger than ordinary war horses in the capital, and he hoped that Wang Xuan would buy some more war horses from Gao Shun.
Today, Wang Xuan found that the war horses equipped by Gao Shun and the others were even taller and stronger, even if he didn't understand horses, he could see that it was not a little better than the hundred war horses that he had given them, it seemed that the Wang family had underestimated the ability of Gao Shun and others before.
Moreover, after observing Gao Shun and others, he came to a conclusion that Gao Shun and others had many generals and insufficient literati; The people who studied in this era were all from big families, and ordinary people did not have the right to be educated, so he suggested that Wang Yun should send some educated family children to assist Gao Shun and others.
Unfortunately, Wang Yun finally rejected Wang Xuan's suggestion; Although he is optimistic about Gao Shun and others, but he is in the capital, he sees it more clearly, Gao Shun and others will definitely end up miserable after offending the Shi clan, and if they can befriend them, they will have one more way for the family, but they can't fall into it, otherwise they will be enemies of the entire Shi clan.
After Guo Yi returned to the palace, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and in his impression, Gao Shun and others did have the talent to govern the army, and they could get a glimpse of it just by looking at the two thousand cavalry; The number of cavalry recruited in the past was small, first, due to the geographical restrictions of recruitment, the scope was narrow, and second, there was no good platform before, so I did not dare to recruit more, otherwise there would be a suspicion of rebellion; Since then, these problems have all been solved, and the power of Gao Shun and others will surely develop rapidly.
The last time Xianbei attacked, he didn't send reinforcements, just to make friends with Gao Shun and others; What shocked him was that this force had obtained three Taishou-level positions in just over half a year, and the current friendship was just icing on the cake.
And he learned from the news from the family that Gao Shun and others can recruit troops in You, Bing, and Hebei Prefectures, and there is no limit to the size of the troops, which is a great honor, Gao Shun and others with generous treatment, they will definitely be able to wipe out the strong people in these three states and establish a powerful army.
Guo Yi was very aware of the disadvantages of the society at that time, the local suffrage was controlled by a small number of ministers and ministers, and famous families, for the interests of their respective families, they often recommended each other the children of prestigious families when selecting scholars and officials, regardless of their academic quality, so that the scope of inspection became narrower and narrower, and most of the people who were inspected did not live up to their names. Hansu is as white and turbid as mud, and Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken. In society, there were bureaucratic gate valve groups such as "Four Generations and Three Princes", "Successive Ministers", and "Successive Classics"; At this time, the probation system has degenerated into a hereditary system in disguise, and has become a tool for those ministers to maintain their own power and maintain their privileges.
The three states of You, and Hebei have been fierce since ancient times, and there are many brave warriors; And they did not have a bright future under the inspection system at that time, even if the emperor sold his officials, the high price was not something ordinary people could buy; Gao Shun and others themselves are from good families or reckless backgrounds, and these people have a natural sense of identity, as long as Gao Shun and others raise their arms, and can provide good treatment and upward space, they must be gathered, Gao Shun's power will develop by leaps and bounds.
As a guard, Guo Yi saw the social situation at that time very clearly, the border was in an emergency every year, the land in the interior was highly concentrated, the people were struggling to make a living, and social turmoil was in front of him; At this time, Wenchen lost his former prominent position, and was replaced by a military general who could lead troops to fight and stabilize the place, similar to Gao Shun and others.
At that time, the big families had the habit of dividing their families, and they didn't want to put their eggs in one basket. Guo Yi befriended Gao Shun and others so well, hoping to send the children of the family to Gao Shun as officials, leaving a way back for the family and one more choice.
Jun Cheng didn't understand Guo Yi's friendship with Gao Shun very much, even if Gao Shun and others obtained 3 Taishou-level positions, they offended the family, and their future situation is unknown.
Guo Yi explained: "Their military horses are strong and their movements are uniform, which shows that they have the talent to govern the army, as long as they have a platform to play, their future achievements are limitless." And Dai County and Yanmen County are neighbors, they are good friends with each other, they can help each other, and with such a strong neighbor, even if they can't get along, they can't be offended. ”
Jun Cheng reminded: "Yuan Situ sent his retainers to spread the news, hoping that Taishou could restrict the development of Gao Shun and others and create some trouble for them. ”
As a person from a big family, Guo Yi has a thorough understanding of Gao Shun and others, he doesn't want to offend Gao Shun because of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family has a conflict with Gao Shun, his Guo family has no contradiction with Gao Shun, and he can't affect the Guo family's own interests for the sake of the Yuan family. So he waved his hand and motioned for Juncheng to withdraw.
Guo Yi immediately wrote a letter to the family, asking the family to select some brave juniors and go to Taoyuan Fort next month to participate in the challenge; He knew that if it weren't for this, the juniors in the family would definitely look down on Gao Shun's background and refuse to go.
Later, he wrote a letter to Guo Xun, his uncle who was far away in Youzhou, and suggested that he must befriend Gao Shun and others.
As for the other families in Bingzhou, although they sent people to obtain information about Gao Shun and others, this was far from the extent that they paid attention to it, and it was not enough to send people to take refuge.
At the same time, he received a notice from the imperial court and the Yuan family, and the imperial court asked him to assist Gao Shun and others in recruiting soldiers, and the Yuan family hoped that Zhang Yi would create trouble for Gao Shun and others and restrict their development; Neither side was offended, and he decided to pretend that he didn't know anything, that he didn't care about anything.
