Chapter 192: Youzhou Matters
The war in Liaoxi and Liaodong ended completely, and Bo Xiluo led the surviving Wuhuan warriors to apply to Gongsun Zhan to go to Shanggu County to join the Wuhuan women and children. After the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info hand blade Qiu Liju, Gongsun Zhan's hatred for the Wuhuan people was greatly reduced. Having fought with the Wuhuan Turquoise Cavalry, Gongsun Chan naturally knew how strong the combat power of these Hu people was. Gongsun Chan also fell in love with these Wuhuan knights under Bo Xiluo's command, and tried to use high-ranking officials to recruit them to serve under his command, but Bo Xiluo resolutely refused. Gongsun Chan had no choice but to personally lead the troops and "escort" these Wuhuan soldiers all the way to Juyong Pass.
The first wave of 5,000 Wuhuan people had moved to Zhongshan with Zhang Shiping's caravan, led by the new Wuhuan lord Louban and his chief guard, Ula. The one-armed Ula survived tenaciously, and although he could not shoot a bow and arrow, he still had great prestige, and more importantly, he was one of the Tuogu Lords appointed by the previous king. The remaining 10,000 or so women and children are still temporarily living in Juyongguan, and they should have gone after the vanguard had taken root in Zhongshan. With the return of these more than 4,000 Wuhuan warriors, the confidence of these women and children increased greatly, and after summing it up, Bo Xiluo decided to take a short rest for three days, and then set off with a second wave of 10,000 people to Zhongshan to join Louban and them.
As the migration of the Wuhuan people came to an end, He Xian would also end the Youzhou campaign and return to the Central Plains through Zhongshan and Changshan. He Xian was not ready to take the road of Jixian County, because he didn't want to see Youzhou Mu Liu Yu. Now that the skin has been torn, it is better not to see each other. Relatives and the royal family are not all the way, and their interests are destined to never go together. It's Gongsun Zhan, He Xian has a few words he wants to advise.
"This time to quell the rebellion of Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju, and Qiu Liju, first, thanks to Your Majesty's Shengming, I have appointed our soldiers to serve the country; second, thanks to the brave and courageous generals who command the battle well; Third, thanks to the sergeants' desperate efforts to kill the enemy! "Juyongguan, Council Chamber. He Xian sat in the center, holding a wine glass in his hand. Gongsun Zhan, Guan Jing, Tian Yu, Shan Jing and Yan Gang sat on He Xian's left side in turn; Guo Jia, Wen Ping, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Wei Yan sat on He Xian's right side in turn.
"We will live up to Your Majesty's trust and successfully complete the task. This cup, to His Majesty the Emperor, who is blessed with great blessings and wide blessings! “
"To His Majesty the Emperor!" The generals raised the wine glass in their hands, echoed with He Xianyao, and then drank it all.
"This second cup, to all the Han family sons and daughters who sacrificed in this battle! Without their sacrifices, there would be no victory for us! After He Xian finished speaking, he respected the void above his head and drank it all.
"Respect the heroic spirit of the Han family!" The generals raised their glasses and drank the wine in their hands.
"The third cup, to all of you! The battle report for merit, the general has already ordered someone to send it to Luoyang, if it is not surprising, everyone will be promoted on merit! Come, everybody, drink well! ”
"Thank you Zhonglang for your support! Drink better! The crowd drank a third cup.
After three glasses of wine, everyone felt a little drunk. He Xian motioned that everyone could toast each other and no longer have to be restrained.
Gongsun Zhan, as the highest-ranking official here, was naturally the first to stand up, and first saluted He Xian and said: "This time to quell the trouble, thanks to the good command of the lord!" As a subordinate general, Chan is very honored! ”
"Gongsun is gracious! Everyone is a brother. As long as you and I continue to serve the Han Dynasty in the future and share the worries of His Majesty the Emperor, we will always have brotherhood! He Xian patted Gongsun Zhan's shoulder meaningfully and said softly.
Gongsun Zhan was stunned for a moment, feeling that He Xian had something to say. But the banquet is not a private conversation, and there is no way to talk about it in detail. Gongsun Chan could only pretend to be frightened, silently wrote down this sentence, and then drank the wine in the cup.
Leaving the conference hall, Gongsun Zhan couldn't wait to relay He Xian's words to Guan Jing: "Shiqi, what do you mean by saying Zhonglang's words?" “
Guan Jing stroked the beard under his chin and said slowly: "Lord Zhonglang is reminding Lord Duwei to always be loyal to the Han family!" “
"What?" Gongsun Zhan said slightly angrily, "General Zhonglang actually doubts Ben General's loyalty to the Great Han? “
Guan Jing smiled and congratulated Gongsun Zhan: "Congratulations to Lord Duwei, the marquis is close at hand!" ”
"Don't be ashamed of your generals! Ben Jiang is still distressed, where did he offend him, and he even wants to remind Ben General to be loyal to the big man! “
"Neither nor not!" Guan Jing shook his head and said, "Zhonglang will remind the lieutenant that it is not that he is distrustful, but that he wants to recommend and reuse the lieutenant!" Liu Youzhou made it clear that he and Zhonglang would not deal with him, and after Lord Duwei was promoted, he became the most powerful person in the northern part of the country, and it was unstoppable! However, Youzhou is located on the border of the Han Dynasty, and the terrain of Liaodong is delicate, and the Zhonglang General is worried that after the Duwei is full-fledged, he will give birth to a disobedient subordinate, so he will beat it first! So, it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing! “
"I see!" Gongsun Chan suddenly realized, "I almost blamed General Zhonglang!" In this way, I don't have to worry that Mr. Zhonglang will fall into the trap for me? “
"Not necessarily!" Guan Jing affirmed, "Judging from the attitude towards foreign races, this Zhonglang general and Lord Duwei's ideas are the same. As long as this Zhonglang will have a certain say in the DPRK in the future, he will definitely do his best to support the current border policy! That is, to support you, Lord Lieutenant! “
"That's the best!" Gongsun Chan turned his anger into joy, and said in the direction of the council hall with his fists, "Zan is a Han person, and he should be loyal to the Han Dynasty and defend the country, which is justified!" “
"We will swear to follow Lord Duwei to the death, be loyal to the Han Dynasty, and defend the country!" Guan Jing, Tian Yu, Shan Jing and Yan Gang bowed behind Gongsun Zhan and replied.
"Fengxiao, what do you think of this Gongsun Zhan?"
After the banquet ended, He Xian left Guo Jia, and the two walked on the city wall of Juyongguan to disperse the wine.
"Don't you already have a plan in your heart?" Guo Jia asked rhetorically.
"I'm not sure, I want to hear your opinion!"
"Heroic!"
"Go on!"
"No more!"
"What do you mean it's gone?" He Xian was a little annoyed and said, "I asked you to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of Gongsun Zhan's personality and the future development trend, and you actually used four words to fool me?" ”
Guo Jia rolled his eyes at He Xian without hesitation and said, "No is nothing!" I'm not a sorcerer, how can I predict a person's future! The skills you want, in the next will not! ”
Guo Jia is like this, he has no respect for He Xian in private. But He Xian still eats this set very much! That's how the two communicate with each other.
He Xian stopped talking, just glared at Guo Jia fiercely.
After a while, Guo Jia was helpless, so he had to speak again: "Gongsun Chan is capable, charming, and ambitious. But in the land of Youzhou, talent is scarce. His current core team, Guan Jing has overall planning ability but lack of strategy, although Shan Jing and Yan Gang are brave but have average ability to lead troops, Tian Yu is good at civil and military affairs, but the upper limit is not high. With such a core team, once the affairs are complicated, various problems will arise. ”
Guo Jia's analysis this time was finally a little sincere, He Xian nodded, and turned to look into the distance. The Yanshan Mountains are covered in silver and are exceptionally beautiful. Regardless of whether Gongsun Chan will divide the northern part of the country, at least, he can defend this great river and mountain from being wantonly invaded by foreign races. That's enough! There are still a lot of things waiting for He Xian to sort out in Luoyang, and it is still unknown whether the He family can cross the Ghost Gate Pass, here, just leave it to Gongsun Zhan!
