Chapter 133: Meet the Assassin
In Gao Shun's memory, Guo Xun, the assassin of Youzhou, and Liu Wei, the Taishou of Guangyang County, were killed by the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army, and since he came and got along well with the two, he didn't want anything to happen to the two of them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After making various preparations, Gao Shun went to the county seat of Jixian County on the morning of the 27th of the first month to meet Guo Xun, the assassin.
Regarding Gao Shun's sudden arrival, Guo Xun was very puzzled.
After the guest and host sat down, Guo Xun asked: "Hehe, welcome to the arrival of Master Gao, you have been in the barracks for so long, and you don't come to see the old man, your old man in the barracks has been there many times." ”
"Haha, Guo Tingshi is polite, you are so busy with work, I'm not afraid of causing you trouble."
Guo Xun said very kindly: "The old man still has time for a cup of tea." Let's talk about it, there is something that needs the help of the old man. ”
Gao Shun changed his serious expression and asked, "Guo Tingshi, what do you think of Taiping Dao?" ”
"Hehe, Gao Junshi, they use talismans and charms to heal people and relieve the poor and weak, this is a good deed, and it should be encouraged."
Gao Shun thought to himself, no wonder he was killed so easily in history, it turned out that he couldn't see the situation clearly, he was really confused! So he smiled and said: "Guo Thorn History, Taiping Dao won the hearts of the people with religion and the way of curing diseases and saving people, and established a high prestige among poor peasants, with hundreds of thousands of believers, which has to be guarded against; Besides, now the politics are dark, the court is corrupt, the eunuchs and the nobles are fighting, the frontier wars are continuous, the land is concentrated, the powerful are inflated, and due to natural disasters, many counties have no revenue, and the taxes are not reduced; The desperate poor peasants, under the bewitchment of the Taiping Road, will surely respond to every call, and their number will quickly increase to one million, and if they plunder the state and seize the county, like locusts crossing the border, they will surely be ruined wherever they go. What can I do? ”
Guo Xun is not stupid, Gao Shun is right, this kind of turmoil is very likely to happen; And now that the governors of the states only have the right to supervise but not the right to war, and the counties in the interior have abolished the county governors, and each county and county has only a few servants, how can they deal with such a huge number of turmoil? Not to mention millions of people, even if tens of thousands of people in each county make trouble, the county is powerless to deal with it; Gao Shun can raise this problem, and there must be a solution. Hurriedly asked: "Gao Junshi is extremely resourceful, what is the best plan?" ”
Gao Shun said: "Jizhou is the place where the Taiping Road was initiated, with the most believers, and Youzhou is close at hand, so it will be the first to suffer; Zhuo County is the southern gateway of Youzhou, and there is no room for mistakes, and decisions must be made early; At the same time, Guangyang County was urgently ordered to reorganize the army in case of emergency. ”
Guo Xun thought to himself, this method is good, as long as you control Zhuojun and cut off the connection between the followers of Youzhou Taiping Dao and the outside world, it will be easy to deal with internal turmoil, as long as Zhuojun is not breached, Youzhou will sit back and relax, "Haha, Gao Junshi, you can send a general to sit in the Zhuojun military camp, if you can make a contribution, this assassin will definitely recommend him as the Zhuojun Taishou; And there are officers and soldiers in the military camp of Guangyang County, and Jixian County is safe. ”
Gao Shun retorted: "Guo Tingshi, sending troops to garrison Zhuo County, the division is unknown, this is a big crime; In addition, if You, Hebei, Qing, Yan, Henan and other states are in chaos at the same time, what will the aliens do? We have to guard against it. The cavalry of the Guangyang County military camp is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Wuhuan Lieutenant's Office, and is mainly used to deal with foreign races, and it is understandable that they are stationed in Guangyang County, but if they are stationed in Zhuo County, it is not feasible to be reasonable. ”
Hearing Gao Shun say this, Guo Xun was horrified in his heart, if the alien race took advantage of the chaos to attack, it would definitely drive straight in, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Guo Xun couldn't call the shots, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite Liu Wei, the Taishou of Guangyang County, to come and discuss.
Guo Xun carefully recounted the content of the meeting just now to Taishou Liu Wei.
Liu Wei was born in the royal family, and it was more than enough to be a rich and noble man in peacetime, and if he encountered social turmoil, he had no way to start and did not know how to deal with it.
After listening to Guo Xun's words, his face turned pale with fright, whether it was the turmoil in Taiping Road or the attack of foreign races, Guangyang County would definitely bear the brunt.
However, these people are all masters of the drill camp, and after coming back to their senses, they pondered for a while, and then they had an idea, and said: "Guo Tingshi, this matter is easy." ”
"What is Taishou Liu's good plan?"
Liu Wei looked at Gao Shun and said, "This requires the assistance of Gao Junshi!" ”
Gao Shun said firmly: "If you can avoid the persecution of the people, Shunyi is duty-bound!" ”
Liu Wei said happily: "Okay, Guo Thorn History, Zhuo County has neither Taishou nor Juncheng, you can appoint a soldier of the Assassin History Department to go to Zhuo County to do Taishou work, and this matter will be solved; In addition, although Zhuo County and Guangyang County are not border counties, they are located in dangerous places, often plundered by foreign races, and both have the position of a broken captain, and have the right to recruit 2,000 soldiers, which allows us to be flexible. ”
Guo Xun was overjoyed when he heard this, so they had a workaround, and immediately said: "Gao Junshi, please report the names of the two fierce generals, and this official will appoint them as Zhuojun Xingtai Shou and Zhuojun Commander today, and immediately rush to Zhuojun to take office, there must be no mistake." ”
Before Gao Shun could answer, Liu Wei hurriedly asked, "Guo Tingshi, Gao Junshi, how to deal with Guangyang County?" ”
Guo Xun asked rhetorically: "Isn't there a broken captain in Guangyang County?" You can command them to conscript and prepare for war. ”
Liu Wei said with a bitter face: "The military affairs in Guangyang County are slack, and the officers and soldiers are old and weak, how can they have the strength to fight?" How did Zou Jingzhi's army compare with Gao's division? Wei asked Gao Junshi to send another general to serve as the captain of the school and take charge of the military affairs of Guangyang County. Liu Wei lowered his posture.
Guo Xun looked at Gao Shun with a smile and said, "Then it's bothering Gao Junshi." Jixian County cannot afford to lose, otherwise his life will not be guaranteed, so he did not hesitate to choose to support Liu Wei's decision, and Gao Shun sent people, and he also felt more down-to-earth in his heart.
Gao Shun retorted: "Changing generals in battle is a taboo for soldiers!" Gao Shun was worried that Zou Jing would be retained, and it would be difficult for the new lieutenant to carry out his work.
Liu Wei said: "It's okay, just move him to the Taishou Mansion Master." ”
Gao Shun pretended to be difficult and said: "What about salaries, money, food, weapons and equipment, etc.?" In addition, according to the emperor's order, the salary of our recruitment is quite high, and if we follow the treatment of county soldiers, it is likely that we will not be able to recruit a few people. ”
Guo Xun decisively said: "Weapons, armor, money, food, salaries, etc. are the same as those of the Captain of Wuhuan, and the Gao military division can pay in advance, and then Guangyang County and Zhuo County will offset it from the taxes." ”
Liu Wei suggested: "In order to save money, I suggest that it is advisable to have infantry to defend the city." ”
Guo Xun nodded in agreement. In this way, not only can you save a lot of money, but also form a strong guard force, and Guangyang County and Zhuo County will be safe and secure afterwards; And in this way, there is a reason to mobilize Gao Shun's cavalry for field battles; For Youzhou, it is very cost-effective.
Gao Shun was secretly happy in his heart, and obtained three more posts of six hundred stones, which would be beneficial for him to occupy the entire Youzhou in the future. Busy pretending to be helpless and said: "Okay, do your best, strive to keep the peace of Youzhou and the people from poison." ”
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the school captain was a miscellaneous school captain, with a salary of only 600 stones, which was the same as the salary of ordinary military horses.
Pretending to think about it for a while, Gao Shun said: "You can send Xiang Fu to Zirong to be the governor of Zhuo County, and Chu Yan can be appointed as the captain of Zhuo County; Cheng Pu and Cheng Demou can be the captain of Guangyang County. ”
Gao Shun also wrote down the names and origins of the three people, Xiang Fu is a native of Juyong County, Shanggu County, Chu Yan is a native of Changshan Guozhending, and Cheng Pu is a native of Tuyin County, Youbeiping County.
Guo Xun and Liu Wei looked at the list and were very satisfied.
The letter of appointment was immediately issued, signed by Guo Xun and Liu Wei as a guarantee.
