Chapter 9 The Gathering of Storms
As the high night wedding is approaching, most of the friends invited by Cai Yong have already arrived in Yingchuan. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info for these famous Confucians, when Gao Ye saw them, he really collapsed. The most terrible thing is to salute one by one, especially in front of Cai Yong, Gao Ye knows very well that if he salutes but is disrespectful, it must be a scolding. Fortunately, Cai Yong does not have many friends, except for Zhong Xuan, Chen Ji and other Yingchuan families, there are only a few people such as Qiao Gong and Gu Yong in Wu County, and Zhang Zhao in Xuzhou. Then Gu Yong doesn't have to worry about it, although he is now famous, but it is far less than Gao Ye, plus he is a student of Cai Yong, so naturally he can't afford to be a celebrity.
But Zhang Zhao is different, this person has been famous for a long time, and he is also famous in the world with Langya Zhao Yu and Wang Lang of the East China Sea. Now it is because of the war in the Central Plains and the persecution of Tao Qian that Jiangdong is avoided. This person's reputation is very big, and he is not young, Cai Yong is even willing to have a relationship with his peers, so he has no choice but to salute respectfully. However, to be able to meet the prime minister of the revitalization of Soochow at this time, this etiquette is worth it.
As for that Qiao Gong, he can only be regarded as a famous man in Jiangdong. However, he is also known as the famous Qiao Xuan. This Qiao Xuan was originally from Suiyang County, Liang State, and later lived in Jiangdong, and now his family business is there. This person started from Gongcao in Luoyang County, and he is not afraid of the powerful. Later, he became the general of Duliao, and defeated the invasions of Xianbei, Southern Xiongnu and Goguryeo many times. From a small official all the way to Sikong, Situ, and Taiwei, it can be seen that his ability is even known as a capable minister in the world. Although he Qiao Gong does not have the ability of his son Qiao Xuan, he can be regarded as a person who is rich and rich, so he has a common language with Cai Yong.
The most interesting thing is that this Qiao Gong not only came to congratulate Gao Ye, but he was also invited by Cai Yong to come to this Yingchuan Academy to teach and help him proofread the Dongguan collection. After all, he doesn't need to be here to learn such talents, but to go into business, Cai Yong really feels that it is a waste. Therefore, Qiao Gong listened to Cai Yong's invitation, gladly accepted, and moved his family from Anhui County in Lujiang County to Yangzhai directly. and Cai Yong as a companion.
This Qiao Gong has no children under his knees, only two daughters, but what Gao Ye doesn't know is that these two daughters are the famous Jiangdong Erqiao in later generations. But even if Gao Ye knows now, it doesn't make much sense, two little girls, Da Qiao is only ten years old now, and Xiao Qiao is eight years old, even if he is as beautiful as a fairy, Gao Ye can't do it. Besides, the big wedding is imminent, how can I do such a trivial thing.
However, another reason why Gao Ye didn't know these things was that his mind was not on Qiao Gong at all, because Guo Jia had just reported that Yuan Shao's envoy had entered Yingyin, and it was his old friend Xun Chen. When I heard the news, how could I not hurry up and meet him? Especially looking at Xun Chen's gift list, he was even more surprised, Yuan Shao, who was still worried about grain and grass not long ago, now has such a big hand? If these treasures are exchanged for food, Gao Ye estimates that there will be at least enough for an army of 100,000 to eat and drink for a year. In the end, he won Jizhou, it was really different, and the wealth was outrageous.
Xun Chen was the first envoy of the princes to arrive, and he used to serve in Yingchuan, although he was dissatisfied with Gao Ye's contempt for him, but in the end, the relationship was not bad. In addition, his Yingchuan Xun family, whether it is Xun Jing, Xun Shuang or Xun Yu, has a good relationship with Gao Ye, and now that he is back in Yingchuan, he naturally has a lot of topics to chat with Gao Ye. Yuan Shao sent so many congratulatory gifts, and he already had the intention of befriending Gao Ye, after all, he was now at war with Gongsun Zhan, so he naturally didn't want Gao Ye to stab him in the back.
Then came Yan Xiang, the messenger of Yuan Shu. For this person, Gao Ye was very impressed, and it was recorded in the history books that Yuan Shu held the jade seal in his hand at that time, and according to the prophecy of "the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao", he fulfilled his own reason, so he wanted to be called the emperor and asked the ministers how they were. The ministers all celebrated, and only Yan Xiang quoted the story of King Wen of Zhou who even had two-thirds of the world and admonished Yin Chengchen. Although there are only these records of him in the history books, judging from the conversation between Gao Ye and him, this person is not an easy person to deal with.
As the days approached, what followed was not the messenger of any way, but the death of Sun Jian. As in history, Sun Jian, who defeated Huang Zu in the area of Fancheng and Dengxian, took the opportunity to cross the Han River and besiege Xiangyang. Under Huang Zu's plan, Liu Biao closed the door without fighting, and he himself attacked at night, but he was defeated. Sun Jian did not doubt that he had him, and pursued him all the way to the Da Xian Mountain, but he did not expect that the ambush soldiers were everywhere, and ten thousand arrows were fired together, not only the army was defeated, but he himself died here. Now Sun Ce has retreated to the east of Hanshui with his men and horses, and sent an envoy to ask for Sun Jian's body.
When Gao Ye heard the news, he also sighed on his back, although Sun Jian got his own reminder, but unfortunately, when he got carried away, where could he take care of so much. Now that he died under the random arrows, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of the oath before the Tiger Prison, and for a while, whether Sun Jian has the jade seal of the country has become a hot topic among the princes.
However, Sun Jian's death did not affect Gao Ye's wedding, and Liu Biao, who ended the battle, even sent Huang Zu's son Huang Jie to congratulate Gao Ye, which may not be without the intention of showing off. In the final analysis, Gao Ye still supported Sun Jian's grain and grass, and it can be regarded as an indirect enemy of Jingzhou, now that Liu Biao has won a big victory and Sun Jian has died in battle, how can he not show off his muscles to Gao Ye. Even Cao Ren, the messenger sent by Cao Cao, felt angry, but Gao Ye didn't say anything, why bother him on a happy day?
Although Sun Ce had already sent Sun Jian's coffin back to Ruyin to rest, he still sent his younger brother Sun Quan to Gao Ye to congratulate him. Although Sun Quan is only ten years old now, if he comes to congratulate Sun Ce, he Sun Quan is the most suitable. He himself is now temporarily stationed in Runan with his men, so Liu Biao does not dare to act rashly. After all, if the Jingzhou army hits Runan, if he asks for help, Gao Ye will never sit idly by. Besides, now is the time of the high night wedding, if Liu Biao really calls, then this Liang Zi will be married. Not only offended Gao Ye, but even Cai Yong and other celebrities would strongly condemn and solemnly protest against his behavior. In addition, he hit Runan in order to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, such an act, coupled with the condemnation of the scholars, his reputation as Liu Jingsheng's Jingzhou Eight Horses was ruined.
Although Sun Ce also felt that Runan was safe, after all, Sun Jian was gone, and he still had to settle down in the army. And he is not going to stay in Runan for a long time, he will return to Ruyin or Jiangdong as soon as possible, and rest and recuperation is the best choice.
Gao Ye dealt with the guy who shot yellow, so naturally he didn't pay attention to him anymore. Although his speech is generally decent, his arrogant expression really makes Gao Ye very unhappy. If it weren't for the mentality that he was a guest from afar, Gao Ye would have driven him back to Jingzhou a long time ago. Are you really afraid of you Jingzhou people!
However, Zhou Cang's urgent report made Gao Ye very unhappy, because Huang Shot, this guy, actually took someone to find trouble with Sun Ce's mission. I heard that there was tension on both sides, and they were about to fight, so I hurriedly came to find Gao Ye. To be honest, when Gao Ye heard the news, he probably couldn't use the word unhappy to describe it, and he was almost angry, after all, this was the time of his wedding, even if you Huang Shot was the envoy of Jingzhou, Jiangxia Huang, you can't be so excessive! There are also Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, what are the two of them eating, let Huang Jie be so domineering! However, Gao Ye is to blame the two of them, Zhang Liao has been inspecting the defense of Changshe and Xuchang for days, and Zhao Yun has just returned from Yingyang, and the two of them are still resting early in the morning, where would they think that such a thing could happen?
Gao Ye hurriedly took Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to the south gate, and when he saw this scene, he was even more angry. Huang Jie actually took five hundred people and besieged a small child! If it weren't for the fact that there were still some people next to the child, and there was a general to protect, Gao Ye knew that this little ghost would be unable to escape death today. Because of this, Gao Ye rode his horse and shouted, "Stop with me!" ”
Who knew that the yellow shot did not stop attacking, but under the leadership of a general, the offensive became more violent, and Gao Ye, who was already angry, now even spoke with a murderous aura. The yellow shot that came to Gao Ye to block him, before he could speak, he was frightened by the heavy murderous aura on Gao Ye's body.
"Huang Jue, what do you mean by this, and you don't want your people to stop?"
"Gao Taishou, this person is a subordinate of the traitor Sun Jian, now that he has seen it, how can he let it go, isn't it Gao Taishou, and he also wants to plot against him together?" Although Huang Jie was a little scared, he still trembled and finished what he wanted to say, which was originally taught to him by Huang Zu. Huang Zu knew that the hatred between himself and Sun Ce was concluded from then on, and the hatred between killing Sun Jian and killing his father was not shared. However, although Sun Ce retreated, but Gao Ye got married, Sun Ce was likely to send someone to congratulate Gao Ye. If his envoys were killed in Yingchuan, there would be a rift between Sun Ce and Gao Ye. Especially now that Jingzhou has the power of a big victory, even if Huang Jie is the one who killed Sun Ce, what can Gao Ye do? In the end, you don't have to obediently put people back! In this way, the beam between Sun Ce and Gao Ye can be concluded, and in this way, his pressure in Jingzhou can also be shared by Gao Ye's Yingchuan. As for what you said, Gao Ye would hand over people to Sun Ce? Impossible, according to Huang Zu's thoughts, the current Jingzhou soldiers are strong and strong, and the morale is high, do you dare to provoke Gao Ye?
Similarly, this passage is also where Huang Jie's confidence lies, and the day before yesterday he met Gao Ye, Gao Ye did not show any dissatisfaction with his arrogance at all. If he hadn't really been afraid of Jingzhou, according to Gao Ye's identity, I am afraid that he would have been furious and drove himself away. The more Huang Zhu thought about it, the more it made sense, and the less fear he felt in his heart.
It's just that to Huang Jie's surprise, Gao Ye didn't even have superfluous words with him after listening to it, and directly ordered Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to detain Huang Jie. Huang Zhu was already weak, and there was the opponent of the two of them, and he was screwed up by Zhou Cang in a few minutes.
Gao Ye said coldly: "If you let them stop now, I can still let you go back to Jingzhou." Otherwise, I will send your corpses back to Jingzhou, and you can choose for yourself! ”
