63 Re-examination of the DPRK Bureau
The sky outside was gradually getting dark, Guo Rong turned around, and saw that Chengyuan still had a question on his face, and he didn't mean to retreat at all, what a smart person he was? At once, I figured out that the other party must have something that I wanted to know but was inconvenient to ask......
"Cheng Kuiyuan, are you curious to know what the situation has developed in the past month that you have been in Xuzhou?"
Cheng Yuan hurriedly nodded his head: "The humble position is indeed a little worried, after all, Wu Desi is still in the hands of Uncle Guo." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Hmph...... You have been too worried, now the three families of Li, Liu, and Su can't turn the sky over for the time being, and before this expedition, the father and the emperor discussed several major charters in the court. ”
"Oh? Which ones? Subordinates, please train the young marshal. ”
Guo Rong smiled slightly when he heard the word "young marshal", and seemed to like this title.
"Alright, you don't have to be so restrained, huh...... There are roughly three, one of which is that when the father went out on the expedition, he retained the title of privy envoy Tongping Zhangshi, and not only commanded the three forbidden armies, but also included the command of several previous camps in the northwest. ”
Cheng Yuan asked: "Is the northwest still two camps in Hezhong and Yongxing?" ”
"It's no longer the case, the imperial court asked Fengxiang to inspect Wang Jingchong to be reappointed as the envoy of the Pizhou Festival, but Wang Jingchong refused to take office, but colluded with Meng Shu, colluded with Li Shouzhen to rebel, and also proclaimed himself the envoy of the Fengxiang Festival. Therefore, the imperial court added a Fengxiang city in the previous month, and the person in command was Zhao Hui...... Therefore, before the forbidden army set out on the expedition, it was already the three major rebel vassals against the three major camps. ”
Cheng Yuan thought about it a little, and knew that the current situation was basically not much different from the official history before the crossing......
"In addition, there is no change in the personnel of Yedu, right? What about Tongguan? Wang Yu was transferred away after helping the imperial court to defeat Tongguan, right? Who's it for now? ”
"Ye Dutian marching army is still the commander of Gao Xingzhou, there is no problem." Guo Rong put his hand on his chin and thought about it: "As for Tongguan...... Wang Yu is indeed gone, and Zhaoyi Jiedu makes Chang Si now stay in Tongguan. ”
"Hmm...... He is the predecessor of Liu Yanseng and Deng Zhou......"
Guo Rong saw Chengyuan raise his eyebrows and nodded, it was clearly a "sure enough" expression, and then he frowned again, obviously worried......
"Cheng Kuiyuan?" Guo Rong patted Chengyuan on the back, "What's wrong with you?" Could it be that you have already known these changes? ”
Chengyuan was immediately awakened from his contemplation by a pat: "Huh? No...... How can this be? ”
"Then there is the second charter - that is the position of the Xuanhui North and South Courtyard, Li Ye is completely out of play!" Guo Rong laughed and said, "The imperial court gave Wang Jun the position of the Xuanhui North Court, since Wang Jun is crusading against Zhao Siwan with Guo Congyi in Chang'an, then simply let the actual position of the Xuanhui North Court be vacant, and leave a false title on Wang Jun's head." ”
Cheng Yuan said: "I see. ”
He thought to himself: "Wang Jun is indeed a talent, if this person hadn't come up with some good ideas from time to time, then Guo Congyi, a stupid person, might have been beaten into a sieve by Zhao Sijuan and Li Shouzhen's subordinates Wang Jixun on both sides." In addition, during this period, Wang Jun and Guo Wei have not fallen out, and their relationship is good. ”
"There is a third one," Guo Rong let out a long sigh, and seemed to be most satisfied with the outcome of this matter, "Fengxiang, Yongxing, and Hezhong have joined forces to rebel, and the entire Guanfu region is already in chaos, and the imperial court's requisition of Guannai is also like a mess. Now the rumors in the capital are all over the place, and people are panicking, if Li Ye takes advantage of this opportunity to rise up and jointly control the government with the Queen Mother, it may not be impossible, so it is finally decided to let Shi Hongzhao, who is the governor of the forbidden army, also take on the duty of guarding the capital, and has the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot! ”
"Arbitrary?" When Cheng Yuan heard this, he suddenly asked: "The security of the capital is in the hands of the Duke of Lu Guohou Yi, so why bother Shi Taishi?" ”
Guo Rong saw Chengyuan's disapproving face, and couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong?" What's wrong with that? You forgot that Hou Yi was in Fengxiang at the beginning, and he simply brought the Shu army here, Hou Yi has always been the first rat at both ends, how can he be reliable? His father never let his guard down against him. ”
Chengyuan knew that the sentence he left before going to Xuzhou: "Shi Hongzhao may not be all good, Hou Yi may not be all bad" was forgotten by Guo Rong, and saw that his rhetorical question made him a little unhappy, plus the matter was already in the boat, and finally did not continue......
"The three changes born in Asari are all clear to the subordinates, and since this is the case, the subordinates have retired."
Guo Rong thought that he was going to come up with some new insights, but he was about to leave after hearing these words, so he waved his hand and said: "Let's go, rest early, the army will start tomorrow morning, and we will have to hurry." ”
Cheng Yuan walked out of the big tent, and while pacing slowly, he carefully compared the current process with the official history before the crossing, combing and analyzing the similarities and differences between the two:
Whether it is the result of the cattle slaughtering case, Wang Pu's transfer to engage in the expedition by Guo Wei after winning the championship, Li Ye's temporary loss of power, the postponement of the western expedition, or even Feng Dao's return to Heyang's home to think about it behind closed doors, these general trends have not changed.
Of course, there are many things that have changed history, and the reasons for these changes are, in his opinion, twofold:
First, due to the slight changes in the capital incident, Dengzhou's fanfare to build the palace of the capital, as well as the frequent military movements in Anzhou and Xiangzhou, which seem to point to Jingnan, so that not only Jingnan Wang Gao Congzhi was afraid, but also Ma Chu and Meng Shu's attention was also pulled to this side, after all, from Kuizhou and Yuzhou to the Yangtze River line upstream, the threat to Meng Shu was great (this is also the route of Cao Bin and Liu Guangyi to destroy Shu later), so in the subsequent Battle of Pingbei, Meng Shu's support for the three feudatories may be smallerNow Guo Congyi has never found any movement of the Shu army in Chang'an to get out of the Meridian Valley, and this is the evidence.
Second, in April and May, he hid in Guo's mansion as a guest, during which he had some influence on Guo Wei's strategic thinking on the westward expedition, and in the original official history, Guo Wei did not make up his mind to mobilize so many manpower and material resources, especially on the requisition of grain and grass. However, after the incident of accompanying the capital and the provincial test, Guo Shuxiang seems to agree with Chengyuan's opinion, and he wants to use the momentum of thunder to move westward, so that Li Shouzhen does not dare to think about any luck, so that the westward expedition may not need to be delayed for more than a year.
Cheng Yuan knew that the original idea of building a fortress to trap the enemy city in history was actually very much like the nine-tailed fox Feng Dao, especially when Guo Weixi passed through Heyang, he deliberately went to Feng Dao's house for a long night talk.
He said in his heart: "When I turn back to the Xingjie army and Guo Shuxiang's army, I should ask Guo Wei as soon as possible: confirm whether the dialogue between the two is still consistent with the historical facts when Guo Feng meets after he crosses, if Guo Wei skips this step and drives the troops directly to Shaanzhou, then the timeline in the future may not be able to be accurately judged, after all, human subjectivity has a very considerable impact on the follow-up, which is not comparable to the celestial phenomenon of predicting when the moon will block the sun!" ”
Other things are small things, such as Shang Hongqian, the commander of the right wing of the Xingjie army in which he is - this surnamed Shang should have left the left wing of the Xingjie army in the official history and went to the west to camp in the capital of Yuhou, but he doesn't know what butterfly effect is still stuck here, he knows that this is likely to be related to the various influences he exerted in the Guo Wei shogunate in April and May, this person would have been sent to Chang'an to fight Zhao Sixuan later, but after all, he was defeated by the bravery of the black-faced army, and finally died tragically......
It was already late at night, and Chengyuan went to Si Cang's military office to ask for some tea, and Si Cang secretly said in Cheng Yuan's ear: "Cheng Sima, Xia Guan also has a little wine here, do you want to honor you?" ”
Chengyuan couldn't cry or laugh: "Come on, you...... If someone smells alcohol on the march, the fifty lashes are indispensable. If I had been found before the war began, I would have moved my head! ”
Seeing that the man's face was disapproving, Cheng Yuan smiled and said: "I advise you to be more restrained, your new secretary Cao Zheng Cao Shuzhi is not a simple person, have you heard of the nickname 'cold bottle'?" ”
Na Sicang was stunned: "Huh? It's him? After that, he stuck out his tongue and said, "Okay, ......."
In fact, Cheng Yuan was trying to discuss something with Cao Zheng, but thinking about it at this time, even his own modern biological clock was at the time of sleep, so it was inappropriate to disturb him at this time, so he returned to his tent. The weather was hot and it was difficult to sleep, so Chengyuan continued to think about things.
It turned out that Chengyuan's biggest worry was Shi Hongzhao. Originally, it was enough for the army to hand over the responsibility of maintaining law and order and stabilizing people's hearts to Hou Yi before the expedition, Hou Yi was treacherous and good at dancing with long sleeves, but after looking through the history books, this person gave Cheng Yuan the impression that he acted in a measured manner, no matter who he supported or betrayed, but he had the ability to gradually put things on the right track.
Shi Hongzhao is different: this person is righteous and principled, although he has also accepted bribes from Hou Yi, but sometimes he admits death. After all, Shi Taishi is not a queen of eunuchs, but an ordinary peasant child. In fact, in modern society, it is not a bad thing to come from a peasant family, because there is compulsory education for all in modern society. Shi Hongzhao has no culture, he only gradually became higher in the army with his bravery and military talents, and then he became more proficient in writing and ink, compared to Shi Shouxin, although he was also born poor, but he was more sensible.
Originally, after Li Ye's Wu Desi was temporarily suppressed, it would be fine to hand over the security of Kaifeng to Hou Yi, but now Kaifeng Mansion and Shi Hongzhao of the forbidden army are involved in the power and responsibility of Gyeonggi public security at the same time, and the Guo family originally wanted them to contain each other, but then they were only afraid that there would be a conflict and cause trouble.
Chengyuan failed to tell Guo Wei directly about this matter before leaving Kaifeng and entering Xuzhou, and since Guo Rong verbally promised Chengyuan, he didn't study it in detail, and now he can't help but regret it. It would have been difficult for him to think through these things with his ability, but after all, he knew the course of history, and he knew that if all the ideas of hindsight were crossed over, it would certainly be not only penetrating but also clever......
"Fortunately, everything was as usual in the first two years of Qianyou, and this time in the official history, there were no major problems in the DPRK and China for the time being." Chengyuan's heart was wide, and he fell asleep deeply.
Early the next morning, the army was about to march, but the road ahead was blocked by a group of people.
Guo Rong called Chengyuan to go on a horse to check the situation, and saw a group of people blocking the front, led by an old man sitting on the ground and chanting words, but he couldn't hear what he was saying.
"Sir, what are you doing here? Why block the road? ”
The old man continued to chatter in his mouth, and he didn't pay attention. The yellow-skinny sister-in-law next to her replied: "We are the hungry people who have lost their land around Junyi, and because we have no way to live, we are so hungry that we don't even have the strength to escape from the famine, so we have to wait here for death." ”
Guo Rong suddenly turned around: "Cheng Kuiyuan, what do you think is good?" ”
The smile on Guo Rong's face when he spoke was obviously testing him.
Chengyuan replied: "Our army is out of the customs this time, it is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness and a traitor who does not want to be a minister, if it is just opened to disperse these hungry people, I am afraid of ominousness, and my subordinates suggested: just divide them a little bit of military food and a little help." ”
"It's the same thing!" Guo Rong nodded with satisfaction......
So the army transport envoy and Sicang joined the army to mobilize manpower to quickly distribute relief food, and after a while, these hungry people got out of the way, and knelt down and said: "Thank you for the life-saving grace of General Daxi!" Thank you for your life-saving grace! ”
Guo Rong hugged his fists and humbly said to the people while leading the army through.
"Thank you for saving your life!" The sister-in-law received some corn and was kowtowing to thank her, and suddenly saw the old man sitting on the side just now still muttering, she said strangely: "Uncle, why don't you go to receive food?" Still meditating here? ”
The old man still didn't answer......
He sat in place with a blank gaze, and continued to mutter:
"Qianyou breaks the five powers of Lingwu......
Qianyou broke the five powers of Lingwu......
Qianyou broke the five powers of Lingwu......
Qianyou broke the five powers of Lingwu......
Qianyou broke the five powers of Lingwu......
