Chapter 2 Meeting and parting, leaving the son as the hostage

Today's Gongsun Chan is a former general, Feng Yihou, leading the history of Youzhou Thorn, and the entire Youzhou is the world of Gongsun Chan alone. The envoy of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info Gongsun Zan arrived in Tianfu, and he was also unceremonious. Directly to the main hall, when he saw Mrs. Tian, he didn't see the courtesy, and said with a big grin: "Which one is the Tian family?" ”

Tian Chou used to be engaged in Liu Yu, and he was also an official person, and he wanted to worship Tian Chou as a cavalry lieutenant in the Chang'an court, but Tian Chou refused. I didn't expect Gongsun Zhan's envoy to be so unkind. Tian also knew the stakes, so he didn't bother with anyone in this regard, and said, "Woman Tian, I don't know what happened to the adult?" ”

"This is a letter from your family, after reading it, hurry up and pack it up and take your son and us to Jixian County. We, Lord Assassin, are still waiting. The person who came said and handed the letter to Tian.

Tian was confused and a little confused, but after thinking about it, it was better to read the letter first. The letter was indeed written by Tian Chou, because his handwriting was thin and hard, and it was not something that ordinary people could imitate:

"Xiu'er and my wife, the previous letter once said that her husband wanted to worship Liu Youzhou, but she exposed Gongsun Zhan's wolf ambitions, and she didn't want the thief to be prepared, so she couldn't because her husband wanted to get closer to the tomb. Gongsun thief originally intended to kill me, but he didn't want to bear the reputation of persecuting Zhongliang, so he asked me to wait in the prison of the Assassin's Mansion for more than a month now. I think that back then, there were a total of 20 people in the township who went to Chang'an with me, and five people were folded outside the Saiwai, and two more were lost in Chang'an, and now the remaining thirteen people are my brothers in life and death, but because of me, they have not seen their families for more than four years; Because of my stubbornness, they are going to go to jail with me, and I don't know when. I'm already sorry for the dead, and I can't be sorry for the living anymore. I have an old relationship with Gongsun Zhan's account under the long history Guan Jing, and now I ask Gongsun Chan to release the thirteen of them, but the premise is that you mother and son go to Jixian County as hostages. My husband has never given you and your children rich and rich, but I want your mother and son to suffer with me, but in the face of righteousness, I have to give up the safety of our family and seek the safety of all. Wang Xiu'er can understand the hardships of being a husband. ”

After all, Tian is a person who knows the general situation, and he didn't cry or panic after reading the letter, but just signaled the housekeeper to ask the messenger to rest in the side hall, and he went back to the back hall to pack up. Don't look at Tian's still very calm in the hall, as soon as he arrived in the back hall, his steps were vain, but he stumbled, and the maid was just about to help, but Tian said loudly, "Call the young master quickly."

Tian Jing was practicing martial arts in the courtyard at this time, and he had gradually adapted to the life of this era and began to like the current body. The original Tian Jing was only twelve years old, but he was seven feet tall and strong, and the children of the families in the border area all learned bow and horses since childhood, and their ability to ride and shoot was not even under the Saiwai Hu clan. Tian Jing returned to the Three Kingdoms era to get such a strong body, but he didn't worry too much about how to survive in this troubled era.

Hearing his mother's call, Tian Jing hurriedly ran over. Unexpectedly, her mother suddenly hugged herself, kissed her forehead, and then pushed Tian Jing away with a ruthless heart, "My son go quickly, your ruthless father wants us to die with her." Since my mother married your father, she was born as a member of the Tian family, and died as a ghost of the Tian family, so she naturally wanted to accompany your father, but my son was only twelve years old, how could my mother bear to let you fall into the tiger's mouth. Jing'er let's go, my mother has prepared a silver tael for you, you can ride a horse and go, my mother will let Tian An and the four of them escort you together, get out of Lulongsai, go to Karasuma to find a small tribe to hide, wait for the limelight, and then come back. ”

Tian Jing was confused, so he asked Tian what happened, Tian showed Tian Chou's letter to Tian Jing, and Tian Jing knew what happened. Although it was only a few words, I couldn't help but have a little more admiration for this father I had never met. Sacrificing oneself for others to this extent, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the ancient gentlemen to do it. Tian Jing analyzed the current situation in his heart, if Gongsun Chan intended to kill Tian Chou, he would not agree to any exchange conditions, indicating that he still hoped that Tian Chou could be submissive to him; As for the escape from the plug that Niang said, it is even more unacceptable, now the entire Youzhou is Gongsun Zhan's, and which Karasuma tribe dares to offend Gongsun Chan for irrelevant people. So the best choice now is to go to Jixian County with my mother, act at the opportunity, and believe that Gongsun Chan will not be difficult for a twelve-year-old doll.

"Mother, don't worry, you just have to take the child to Jixian County as a hostage, and the child will have his own plans at that time. And although my father suffered this time, he would not worry about his life, as long as the time is ripe, our family will definitely be able to reunite outside. ”

Tian looked at his child, and suddenly he didn't know him, the naughty ghost who was still making trouble outside a few days ago seemed to have become much more mature and stable? But after all, my son's opinion still has to be heard.

Tian Jing suddenly thought of something, and whispered a few words in his mother's ear, and Tian nodded approvingly after listening.

On that day, Tian packed up and rushed to Jixian County by car with his son Tian Jing and Gongsun Zhan's envoy. When their mother and son arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, Gongsun Zhan really kept his word and released Tian Chou's companion, and Tian Chou was also released from prison to reunite with his wife and children, but the family of three was placed under house arrest in the courtyard of the Assassin's Mansion and had no personal freedom.

When Tian Wang's husband saw her husband who had been separated for four years, she had mixed feelings in her heart, thinking about the current situation of the family of three, but she slowly shed tears. When Tian Chou saw his wife like this, he didn't know where to start, so he just whispered, "Xiu'er, you also have gray hair on your sideburns." Then he took his wife in his arms. After a while, when I saw my son behind my wife, my eyes were full of admiration and joy.

"Jing'er, you were only so tall when you left for your father," he said, comparing the height of his waist, "Now you have grown into an adult!" In the past few years that my father has been in Chang'an, can you study at home with peace of mind? Did you make your mother angry? Tian Chou put on the appearance of a strict father, but his voice was not stern.

Tian Jing saw his father for the first time, and saw that Tian Chou was thirty years old, not tall but handsome and straight, his eyes were bright, and his spirit was restrained, but he faintly felt a heroic spirit. Tian Jing just groaned slightly, and then said respectfully, "Back to my father, Mr. only taught "Poems", "Books" and "Analects", but the child himself read the "Spring and Autumn Period" that his father often reads, as well as "Lu Lan", and even Liutao, Sun Tzu and other children in the art of war also dabbled. ”

When Tian Chou heard this, he was stunned, his child didn't like to read since he was a child, but this time it was out of his own accident that he read the book of soldiers, so what does it mean? Although he was happy in his heart, his face became more and more severe, "My son is stubborn, if he doesn't study seriously, how can he be filial and honest in the future." "Spring and Autumn" is not enough, "Lu Lan" is miscellaneous, and the military book is not auspicious, so it cannot be read often in the future. ”

"Yes, father." Tian Jing stuck out his tongue, and although he agreed, he didn't really intend to listen. And he deliberately said so much, also to pave the way for his later actions, so as not to let his father suspect that he had changed too much.

"When you're not studying, do you ever serve your mother in front of the church?" Tian Chou Road.

"Back to the father, in addition to reading, the child serves his mother in the house every day and listens to his mother's teachings." Tian Jing replied.

"yes, that's good. So you and the sons of the Li family and the Bai family, flying eagles and lackeys, riding horses and hunting, mutilating the township (mainly trampling crops on horseback), and swaggering through the market, were also taught by your mother? Tian Chou's face darkened suddenly. Although Tian Chou had only returned to Youzhou not long ago, he had long heard about his son's behavior in Wuzhong County.

When Tian Jing heard this, he was startled, and quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Father is angry, the child is stubborn, please punish my father." But don't punish the mother, it's not easy for the mother to raise her son alone, and she has to take care of the big property, and I hope the father will understand the mother's hard work. ”

Tian Chou originally intended to scare his son and let him act a little more restrained in the future, but he didn't expect his son to dare to admit his mistakes and be very filial to his mother, so he was very comforted. "We border sons should be familiar with bow horses, but we are here to drive away the border hutus, not to bully the people who live a hard life."

"The child knows it's wrong." Tian Jing nodded.

"Get up, my father has been away for the past four years, leaving you and your mother, has my son ever hated his father?"

"Children don't hate, men should make meritorious deeds. His father rode to Chang'an, was dedicated to the Lord, loyal to the Han family, and was admired by everyone. The child is proud of his father. When the child grows up, I hope that the school class will be far away from the border of the country, and I will never let Wuhuan Xianbei spy on my Han territory. ”

Although he found out about his son's change from the previous conversation, Tian Chou didn't expect his son to say this no matter how prepared he was, so he couldn't help but applaud, "Okay!" Picked up his son, "Who taught you today's words?" ”

"No one teaches, it is the children who think for themselves." Tian Jing played his due role on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also said what he thought in his heart. I read history books and military books by myself, not to bury my head in the pile of old papers, but to create history and change history like the heroes in these books.

Tian Chou looked at his son and finally showed a relieved smile.

Gongsun Zhan locked up Tian Chou's family, and sent the chief Shi Guan Jing to lobby every few days, but seeing that two months had passed, who would have thought that Tian Chou's oil and salt would not enter, so he refused to assist himself. Not only did it fail to achieve its goal, but it also aroused the dissatisfaction and suspicion of the scholars.

In fact, this scholar's reaction was Tian Jing's plan to whisper to his mother that day, and when Gongsun Chan detained Tian Chou for a period of time, he let his family secretly submit to the family in Youzhou. said that Gongsun Zhan intended to imprison Tian Chou in order to establish his authority, and the next step would be to take action against other clans, eradicate the family, and support his cronies. Now the family couldn't stand it anymore, and there were many discussions, putting pressure on Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Chan was in a very bad mood, all because of the family. I'm afraid it's not okay to close this Tianchou, I killed Liu Yu and captured Youzhou, except for my base camp Liaodong County, the rest of the place is mostly entrenched by the family, and my foundation is unstable after all. If you completely offend the family, I am afraid that I will suffer from elbows and armpits for a while, but let Tian Chou go, and I am afraid that he will collude with Liu Yu's old department, and I will not worry, whether it is closed or not, and it will not be released. I had to ask Guan Jing for a long time, and Guan Jing was also at a loss.

On this day, Guan Jing was reprimanded by Gongsun Zhan, but a subordinate who monitored Tian Chou came to summon him, saying that Tian Chou's son Tian Jing asked to see him. Guan Jing was stunned, a half-old child, what are you looking for me? But after thinking about it, I still saw it. Unexpectedly, Tian Jing offered a bitter meat plan, to the effect that he and his mother were in favor of being loyal to Gongsun Zhan, but Tian Chou was in a bad temper, and they said that they could not move Tian Chou for a while, and they should persuade him to slow down rather than hurry. And he is the only seedling of the three generations of the Tian family, Tian Chou loves himself the most, if he lets Tian Chou go home, but he leaves himself in the Thorn History Mansion as a hostage, and let himself suffer some hardships, he writes a letter in a few days, saying how pitiful he is, coupled with his mother's help, he will definitely make Tian Chou change his heart and be loyal to Gongsun Zhan.

Guan Jing was so happy that he immediately agreed to Tian Jing's plan, and turned around to find Gongsun Zhan, "Lord, this Tian Chou is now iron-hearted, but he refuses to submit, and the voices of the scholars outside can't be ignored." It's better to let Tian Chou keep his son as a hostage, and then release him back to the township. Tian Chou has only one son, and he is expected to never want his son's life and boldly collude with Liu Yu's remnants. Moreover, his son is here, and he will miss it for a long time, and with the might of the general, I believe that he will be able to soften the field."

Gongsun Chan thought for a while, "This plan is very good, and you can arrange it as much as you can."

Now Tian Chou is under house arrest in a separate courtyard of the Assassin's Mansion, and three meals a day are provided as usual, but he can't leave the mansion for a single step. Guan Jing arrived in the courtyard, and the sound of people entering the door had already reached Tian Chou's ears. "Brother Zitai, congratulations, the lord has promised to let you go home."

Tian Chou had a calm face, and it didn't make any difference to him in the Assassin Shifuhe at home, so he didn't seem very enthusiastic.

At this time, Guan Jing had already entered the house, "Brother Zitai, this time the lord promised to let you go home, I didn't say anything for you in front of the lord, this time you have to thank me well." ”

Tian Chou glanced at Guan Jing, "I just said that I was so tired." ”

Guan Jing looked at Tian Chou's lukewarm appearance, and felt very faceless, but still wanted to soften Tian Chou: "Zitai, it's not me who said you, Liu Yu rebelled, and he died innocently." Now my lord has been named a former general, a marquis of Yi, and the four states of You, He, Qing and Hebei are rarely valued by the lord so much, if you want to show your ambitions, it can be said that it is the right time. However, if you are stubborn, you have to keep the festival for the old master. And Liu Yu only blocked you as a worker, never gave you a single soldier, and let you go to Chang'an alone, and put you in danger. You guarded the house for Liu Yu, not only did you have the courtiers, but also won the name of the scholar, and you are worthy of Liu Yu. If you surrender to the lord, then at least you can be the guard of a county, and Zitai also asks for three thoughts. ”

Tian Chou glanced at Guan Jing and replied: "I am valued by General Gongsun, but Tian has no intention of being an official. ”

"Since Brother Zitai is so stubborn, I will tell my father-in-law what he means, and the lord will let you keep your son as a hostage and let your husband and wife go home. This is all the kindness of the lord, you don't want to live up to the kindness of the lord. If you are willing to be used by my lord, you can come to me at any time. After Guan Jing finished speaking, he left hatefully.

Such a development was unexpected by Tian Chou. But being able to go home is better than being placed under house arrest with the whole family. I still have Liu Youzhou's unfinished business to do, and I can't delay here. Jing'er is still young, and staying here is all about exercising, and it is expected that Gongsun Chan will not be difficult for a twelve-year-old child. Tian Chou is also a person who has a decision to do big things, and when he thought of this, he began to prepare for his trip. Jing'er stayed alone, and she had to explain to him well. Tian Chou took out two books from his bag and walked towards his son's room.
