Chapter 55: The Wind and Rain
"Your Majesty, whoever speaks this should be beheaded!"
"Oh! But why? Aiqing elaborates! ”
"Although the land of Xiliang is remote and barbaric, it is a place where I have come to the size of the martyrs, frost and dew, and thorns. Now, if our descendants do not pity it, give it to others. Today, it is said that five cities are cut, and ten cities are cut tomorrow, although they can be stable for a while, but the barbarians are ignorant, thinking that our emperor is afraid of them, so that they are greedy, and our country's land is limited, and in the long run, the country will not be a country! ”
Emperor Ling listened to Han Jin's words and nodded again and again.
"If it weren't for Aiqing, I would have almost made a big mistake, hum! These rice buckets, if they can't do anything, they will be talking about their private affairs. After speaking, he opened his mouth to eat the grapes handed by the concubine, paused, and asked, "What should I do in Aiqing's opinion?" ”
"The ministers of the world, the geniuses of the world, and the westward direction, the ministers are not talented, they are willing to be pawns of the horse, serve the saints and die, and relieve the sorrows. In order to repay the grace of the saint's acquaintance. ”
"Good! Okay, Han Aiqing really deserves to be my loyal minister, well, you can go down! I said that the early dynasty would discuss this matter with the general, and there will be a place for the general at that time! ”
"So, the minister retires!"
Walking out of the palace gate, Han Jin raised his head and let out a sigh, looking at the gloomy sky, the cool breeze was swishing, and he suddenly shivered. I can't help but think of Cai Yanlai, I wonder if she is also thinking about herself at this time? Suddenly, there was an urge to go to him, and after thinking about it, this thought could only be dispelled. Now that the war in Xiliang is raging, how can he drag them into the danger zone?
After returning to the inn, he wrote a letter to Cai Yi and asked him to send it to Cai Yi's hometown. After eating, he immediately went to visit He Jin, the general of the current dynasty.
He Jin, a native of Nanyang Wan County (now Nanyang, Henan) in the Eastern Han Dynasty, has a high character. Originally a butcher, he made his career because his sister was made the queen, and at the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, he was promoted to a general by Emperor Ling. The head of the town of Kyoshi.
He Jin has a rough appearance, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a wide body and a fat body. Hearing Han Jin's arrival, he greeted him with a smile.
Seeing He Jin greeted him at the door, Han Jin hurriedly dismounted and stepped forward to greet him. With this real power in his hands, he still can't be offended for the time being.
"Han Jin meets the general!"
"Hahaha. Xiu Yuanxiu should be polite, hurry up! ”
Han Jin was pretending to be in a position and got up when he heard the words. said with a smile: "Han Jin is reckless, and he actually came out as a labor general." Please forgive your sins! ”
"Why did Xiu Yuan say this, not to mention that Xiu Yuan is an important minister of the court. Even when he saved Luoyang, he also saved me! Walk! Go in and talk! ”
Han Jin sighed secretly in his heart, the power of this officialdom is really great, he has been in a daze for half his life, even people like He Jin have become so sleek and sophisticated, they have only met two or three times, but their tone is like an old friend who has seen him for many years.
At that moment, Han Jin followed He Jin into the mansion, when the general of the dynasty mansion, the momentum was naturally extraordinary, nine turns and eighteen turns, came to the reception hall, in the middle of the three big characters, tiger roaring hall. There were a few people sitting in the room, and when they saw He entering, they all got up to salute.
He Jin grabbed Han Jin with a smile and said, "Come on, come on, Xiuyuan, my brother will introduce you to a few junjie." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the first person, this is Chen Lin, Chen Kongzhang, Kong Rong, Kong Wenju, He Yan, Xun You, Zheng Tai, ......"
finally finished the introduction, but Han Jin stayed on the spot, he was secretly depressed in his heart, why is the gap between people so big? The one Han Jin refers to is not a talent of this era, there are a few of the seven sons of Jian'an alone, and they wait for people to vote at home, and they go around to invite but run into walls everywhere. Thinking in his heart, he smiled all over his face, and saw the salute one by one.
After greeting for a while, Han Jin asked: "General, Jin originally wanted to leave Xiliang to take office these days, but he didn't want a rebellion to happen, in your opinion, what is the imperial court's plan?" ”
"What else can I do, let's fight, these barbarians, it's really not worry-free!"
"A barbarian is a barbarian, and once the army of my Celestial Empire arrives, it will not be wiped out." As soon as He Jin finished speaking, Kong Rong opened his mouth over there.
A few people in the audience nodded yes.
Han Jin was cold, he was really useless as a scholar, he only knew empty talk, not practical. I didn't say more, and after a while with them, I went back to the inn to rest.
When he said, after returning from He Jin's home, it was still early to see that it was still early, although he was anxious about the Xiliang war, but he also knew that when the troops were dispatched, it was useless to be in a hurry, and they chatted with Zhong Miao about some family matters, and talked about sending troops.
"In Yuan Chang's opinion, how should this matter in Liangzhou be solved?"
"Lord, Liangzhou has always been a barbarian mixed house, the Qiang people are brave and good at fighting, the people are fierce, advocating force, the imperial court for many years, although there are heavy troops to defend, but rebellion and chaos often happen, it is really impossible to prevent it. However, although the imperial court is weak now, it is not something that the barbarians can shake, and once the army arrives, although they cannot be wiped out, it is still possible to defeat the enemy army. Just ......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly closed his mouth, as if he was thoughtful, he had just arrived, and although he was courteous to Han Jin, he also wanted to show his talents. Therefore, I thought about the cause and the right method last night, but thinking about good things is the same thing, how to say it, and what kind of effect to achieve are all different.
Han Jin's slightly closed eyes really opened suddenly, and he asked, "Just what?" If Yuan Chang has any concerns, just say it! ”
"Dare to ask what your ambitions are?" Zhong Xuan asked in a low voice.
Han Jin smiled slightly, the fingers of his right hand tapped on the tabletop, and his heart churned for a while. Do you want to confide in them, after all, I am new to the city, and I don't have a deep relationship with myself, let alone that my strength is not strong enough, if my ambition is known, I am only afraid of ......
"Since Jin has been entrusted by the Holy Lord, he should keep the people of Liangzhou safe, as for the rest, it's too early to say! Hehehe! He smiled, and decided not to take the risk, but he also slightly revealed some of his own meaning, as for whether he can understand it, it depends on how the other party understands.
"If this is the case, the lord needs to be attentive, Liangzhou people have admired the strong since ancient times, that is, to defeat the enemy soldiers, but also to convince them, in a word, to the people, to coercion, to subdue morality. Defeat the rebels, surrender with righteousness, destroy their leaders, take their strength, and fill them in the army. ”
Han Jin was convinced, it was really powerful, just a few words, and he said the general trend of future development, although he had decided to do this, but he thought about it for a long time before he came up with it.
"Then in Yuan Chang's opinion, who will the imperial court let lead the troops to the expedition this time?"
"I'm afraid the general is moved, right?" Zhong Xuan did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Hahaha, Yuan Chang really knows my heart, yes, such a good opportunity, how can I miss it!"
"It's just that although the general is brave, after all, he is young and his prestige is not enough to convince the public, but I am afraid that the court may not be able to let go of his heart!"
"Yes! Jin is also worried about this. Han Jin frowned, and said with his hand lightly tapping the back of his head.
"Hahaha, lord, who is in charge of the court now?"
Han Jin was stunned for a moment and said, "Yuan Chang dared to think that Jin couldn't even tell the difference!" That's too ......" As soon as he said this, he suddenly stopped talking, and opened his mouth slightly, as if he thought of something, he wanted to say that it was too much to underestimate me Han someone, but suddenly thought that Zhong Xuan would not say these useless things, and then thought about it carefully.
After a while, he suddenly slapped his head a few times, stared at Zhong Xuan with both eyes, seemed to be smiling, and said: "Yuan Chang is really not comparable to those ordinary people, but Yuan Chang is not afraid of gossip?" ”
"Is the general afraid?"
Han Jin was stunned for a moment, and then the two of them laughed loudly, their voices were like golden stones, and they walked out of the room, attracting the curiosity of the diners outside.
In the evening, Han Jin asked Xiaolongzi to buy some gifts, and then took Dian Wei to Zhang Rang's mansion in the hazy night.
Hearing Han Jin's visit, Zhang Rang personally greeted him out of the mansion, although he said that he was powerful, one person under ten thousand people, but he also understood that everything he did was from the emperor's grace, and he still had to win over a late-stage star like Han Jin, not to mention it, Han Jin was still his God of Wealth!
After entering the mansion, the guests and hosts sat down, and Zhang Rang shouted: "Little flag, don't serve tea to General Han yet." ”
