Chapter 154: Xun's Eight Dragons
Yang Jun left Kwai City with four thousand Hanoi fathers and villagers, and Lu Bu appointed Yang Xiao to accompany him on the road, and Yang Xiao took Lu Bu's seal letter to Chen Shi to solve the food problem. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
It was not very difficult for 4,000 people to go from Kuicheng to Zhongyang County in Xihe County for centralized resettlement, they were just the first batch. Lu Bu has a great appetite this time, as long as the people of Hanoi are willing to go to the state, even if it is to smash the pot and sell iron, Lu Bu will take all the orders and not let anyone become a black mountain thief army.
The surplus grain of the Shangdang was basically bought up by the Tiance army, but there was still more grain in Taiyuan County, which sits on the Taiyuan Basin, hidden in the warehouses by the landlords and wealthy households. This time, the Montenegrin army made a big fuss in Hanoi and Jizhou, maybe one day it will be killed from the Taihang Mountains into the state, and then whoever is still guarding the granary and refuses to let it go, then wait for the Montenegrin army to come to the door to harvest!
After the people of Hanoi left, LΓΌ Bu temporarily transferred his soldiers and horses to Kwai City, and let the soldiers and horses rest before they were about to engage in large-scale and high-intensity continuous battles.
Song Xian presented Yang Chou's head, Lu Bu looked at it carefully for a long time, and then asked the clerk to give Zhao Yun and Song Xian credit respectively.
Because Zhao Yun first captured and killed twenty spies of the Montenegrin Army by the river, and then killed the deputy commander of a large force of the Montenegrin Army in front of the battle, and also captured a live mouth, he was directly promoted by Lu Bu to the commander of the hundred cavalry. Xiahou Lan was also promoted to chief by Lu Bu because of his meritorious service, and he still stayed by Zhao Yun's side. Song Xian was promoted to Yamen General by Lu Bu because of his good command and meritorious service.
Song Xian got what he wanted, and finally entered the second echelon from the third echelon. In less than half a month, Zhao Yun was promoted from the most ordinary cavalry to the commander of the tun, although the position is still not high, but he has inadvertently achieved a change in identity. The tun commander is a junior officer, but he is very different from a non-commissioned officer. The door to the general has been opened, as long as Zhao Yun continues to work hard, perhaps by the end of the two-year contract, he has grown into a second Xu Huang.
When the Flying Cavalry Battalion temporarily rested in Kwai City, there were new changes in Luoyang City.
Shang Shuling Xun Shuang died of illness at the age of sixty-three.
At the beginning, after Dong Zhuo controlled the government, he once forcibly recruited Cai Yong and Xun Shuang and a number of famous people in the world to Luoyang as officials. Three days after he took office, he was promoted to Sikong by the imperial court, and his promoted official position was even higher than Cai Yong.
Xun Shuang was born in Yingchuan Xun, and is the descendant of the Warring States thinker Xunzi, and their eight brothers are all talented and famous, and are known as the "Xun's Eight Dragons". Xun Shuang has a nephew named Xun Yu, and the world says that he has the talent of Wang Zuo. Xun Yu has a nephew named Xun Yu, who is a few years older than Xun Yu and is also resourceful, comparable to Xun Yu.
Xun Shuang's death made the ministers who were secretly preparing to unite against Dong Zhuo lose another force. At this juncture when Dong Zhuo was preparing to move the capital to Chang'an, naturally not many people cared about how to bury Xun Shuang. However, there was an unexpected military general who stood up silently and helped the Xun family take care of the funeral.
This general's name is Yang Ding, the word is square, and he was once sent by Dong Zhuo to Lu Bu to be an "undercover agent", but the task was not done well, and he was abducted to Hedong by Lu Bu unconsciously, and he stupidly helped Lu Bu fight the Baibo Army.
Yang Ding actually wanted to follow Lu Bu in his heart, but because his family was under Dong Zhuo's control, he still returned to Luoyang. Later events proved that Lu Bu was very particular about life and work, and he did not harm Yang Ding at all. Although Lu Bu got rid of Dong Zhuo's control, he has always maintained a good relationship with Dong Zhuo, which made Yang Ding, who failed in the mission, live a fairly stable life in Luoyang.
Just imagine, if Lu Bu joined the anti-Dong alliance and struck Dong Zhuo's back from the east of the river, Dong Zhuo, who was furious, would inevitably be angry with Yang Ding, blaming him for not finding any signs of Lu Bu's rebellion, and he was afraid that he would kill Yang Ding and his family to vent his anger.
Because Dong Zhuo doubted Yang Ding's ability, he no longer let him go to battle with the army, and only took some soldiers in Luoyang City to patrol the streets and maintain law and order.
Later, Lu Bu led the army to Lishi, and included Dong Pu in the room, and Dong Zhuo had less resentment towards Yang Ding.
Later, Lu Bu won a great victory in Wuyuan, and specially sent someone to present five hundred captured Xianbei war horses to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo looked at Yang Ding with a lot of pleasing eyes.
It's all wrong, if Yang Ding found some signs of Lu Bu and then secretly reported to Dong Zhuo, maybe Lu Bu would have been forced to rebel at that time and take the risk of assassinating Dong Zhuo, that kind of ending would not be as affordable as maintaining the current relationship.
Lu Bu made a small request to Dong Zhuo, saying that Scholar Cai could not return to Luoyang in a short time because of the acne on his leg, which was not conducive to walking, but he missed his family again and implored Dong Zhuo to send someone to escort Cai Yong's family to Lishi to meet him.
Dong Zhuo knew that this was Lu Bu's excuse, but now that he had reached the point of moving the capital, he didn't need to pretend to maintain any good relations with the scholar class, so it didn't matter if Cai Yong's signboard of Corporal Lixian was thrown away.
In the past year, Lu Bu has indeed made Dong Zhuo feel a lot of peace of mind, although he has gradually controlled the state, but it has also ensured the tranquility of the state and prevented the southern invasion of the northern Hu people. Now that Dong Zhuo has decided to retreat to Guanzhong and sell some favors to Lu Bu, why not do it.
Dong Zhuo felt that it was most appropriate to send Yang Ding to escort Cai Yong's family, so he handed over the task to Yang Ding. Yang Ding did not shirk, and waited for Cai Yong's family to pack and put away the more than 4,000 books collected by Cai Yong, and then choose a good day to go out of Luoyang.
At this time, Xun Shuang fell ill and died.
Yang Ding remembered the reminder that Lu Bu had given him when he left Jishan Pavilion. Lu Bu told him that Dong Zhuo's towering tree seemed to be leafy, but its foundation was too shallow, and sooner or later it would fall on its own. If Yang Ding wants to protect himself and his clansmen, he must find a way to establish a good relationship with the scholars in Luoyang and leave a way out for the future. Anyway, Dong Zhuo didn't explicitly say that he hated scholars, and what to do with scholars, even if Yang Ding had some dealings with scholars, he would not incur serious consequences.
Now, the celebrity Xun Shuang died of illness, but the city of Luoyang is making a lot of trouble about moving the capital, and no one cares about how to bury Xun Shuang, but it gives Yang Ding an excellent opportunity to show favor to the Yingchuan Xun family.
Yang Ding personally came to the door to pay tribute to Xun Shuang, and also sent the money, food and materials needed for the funeral to the Xun family, and then suggested that the Xun family first put Xun Shuang into the coffin, and waited for the Xun clan in Yingchuan to welcome Xun Shuang's remains back to Yingchuan for burial.
People in this era are like life, relatives and friends attach great importance to the burial of the deceased, and Yang will be able to come to help at this time, which makes the Xun family's hearts full of gratitude.
