After riding all the way out of the city to the wilderness ten miles outside Jiangling, Wu Yi put down Pang Tong, who he had held hostage, to the ground.
Lying on horseback, bumping all the way, almost displaced, Pang Tong, who was spinning in the sky, swayed and swayed, and finally stood firm, and with a pale face, he straightened the Jinxian crown on his head.
"The military advisor suffered."
The sky was dark, Wu Yi was full of shame, Pang Tong was in danger for him, and he suffered from Pirou on the way out, which really made him feel uncomfortable.
Pang Tong waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and then said in a deep voice: "The general has been freed, the governor of the capital will definitely sue the wicked first, after the general returns to the new city, he should send a secret letter to the lord, stating the crisis in Jingzhou, please wait and see for the time being, do not make a mistake, wait for the governor to attack Fancheng before making a decision, at least let General Wenyuan in Guanzhong secretly send troops to return to Yizhou to make a plan." ”
Wu Yi's heart seemed to be pressed against a boulder, and even between gasping, he felt heavy, and after listening to Pang Tong's words, he thought it was true.
Without further ado, Wu Yi said goodbye to Pang Tong and rode away.
In the wilderness, Pang Tong slowly returned to Jiangling with his hands, and after walking for half an hour, Gan Ning led the army to arrive, and after meeting with Pang Tong, he asked people to lead the horse to Pang Tong and return together.
Wu Yi, who fled back to the new city, immediately came to the county magistrate's office after entering the city, and Fa Zheng, who was busy with official business inside, was surprised to see Wu Yi's tired and dignified face, and immediately got up to greet him.
"Why didn't the general say hello in advance when he returned to the city? Why haven't I received any news of the soldiers entering the city? ”
Fa Zheng was very strange, Wu Yi escorted the grain and grass to Jiangling, calculated the time, and it was almost time to come back, but he didn't say hello in advance, and he always felt that something had happened.
Wu Yi sat down and took the kettle and poured it directly, and after taking a few breaths, he said in a deep voice: "I came back alone, and the 10,000 soldiers who accompanied me are still in Jiangling." ”
After hearing this, Fa Zheng knelt down and sat aside, waiting for the next step.
Subsequently, Wu Yi informed Fa Zheng of what happened in Jiangling.
"I have planned to immediately submit a confidential letter to the lord to remind him to prepare for the contingency as soon as possible."
After speaking, Wu Yi saw Fa Zheng's thoughtful appearance, and after calling a few times, Fa Zheng came back to his senses, and then arched his hand and said: "The general did the right thing, and he should immediately report to the lord." ”
Wu Yi saw that Fa Zheng agreed, and immediately put pen to paper on the main seat, and Fa Zheng walked to the side of Mén, looking at the sky in a slight daze.
Pang Shiyuan, ruthless enough.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Fa Zheng's mouth, the matter has evolved to the current situation, if it is not in his heart, I am afraid that he will be cold all over his body.
After Wu Yi wrote the letter, Jiāo gave Fa Zheng a look, Fa Zheng read it and had no opinion, and Wu Yi immediately ordered someone to send it to Chengdu at the same time.
That night, Fa Zheng also repaired a letter and sent someone to send it to Guo Jia secretly.
Since the successful recovery of the northwest, the imperial examination selection system under Guo Jia's rule has become once every three years, and the time is also pressed before the opening of the chun.
The reason is that most of the Yizhou scholars and exiled scholars were willing to bow to Guo Jia to take the examination at the beginning of the imperial examination, with Guo Jia's efforts to govern for 20 years, more and more children of the common people got education and participated in the imperial examination, first of all, with the stability of officialdom, the talents selected every year are less and less, so it has become a triennial imperial examination, and the people take food as the day, too many scholars who take the examination have to take care of family farming, so to complete the imperial examination before the arrival of Chun Tian, can not delay the family Chun farming, If you pass the exam, it is a different matter, and if you fail the exam, at least it will not affect your basic livelihood.
In this year's imperial examination, there are two people who are particularly outstanding, so Guo Jia personally met with them.
In the lobby of Yizhou Mansion, the civil officials were busy with official business step by step, while Guo Jia chatted with the two people who won the imperial examination in the side hall.
One is Dong He and the other is Xiang Lang.
Dong He's ancestor was in Yizhou, but he was a native of Nanjun County, Jingzhou, and when the princes divided the world, Dong He's family moved back to Yizhou, and it was not until now that he really stepped into Guo Jia's sight.
Xiang Lang is one of the talents of the Jingxiang family, he and Pang Tong are the same mén brothers, both sat down to listen to Sima Hui, Pang Tong was in Jiangling, Xiang Lang Zeng visited Mén, it was Pang Tong who recommended him to come to Yizhou to participate in the imperial examination, and he lived up to expectations.
The two couldn't imagine that Guo Jia was approachable and talked about everything with them, from Anbang's strategy of governing the country to the survival of the peddlers' pawns, the family and the country were all over the world, and the two unconsciously had a deeper understanding of Guo Jia.
Tired of talking, Guo Jia suddenly said to Dong He: "Youzai, I heard that you also have a son named Yun in your family, why didn't I see him come to take the exam this time?" ”
Dong He can be regarded as middle-aged, and his son Dong Yun is very young and has not yet performed the crown salute.
Dad and son take exams and compete together, in case the son overpowers the father, then where will the father's face go?
However, Dong He saw that Guo Jia attached great importance to him, and even mentioned his slightly talented son, which shows that Guo Jia is not talking about the scene.
"Hehe, since the lord said so, then three years later, the dog will definitely come to Jincheng to participate in the imperial examination."
Dong He agreed with a smile on his face, since Guo Jia is a monarch worthy of loyalty, it is definitely a happy event for his son to be loyal to him.
Just as Guo Jia was smiling and about to say something more, Xiao Yi walked in, put a secret letter to Guo Jia, and then turned around and went out.
Xiang Lang and Dong He were present, and Guo Jia did not shy away from it, and opened the secret letter to take a look.
Frowning slightly, Guo Jia was slightly surprised, but more suspicious.
Xiang Lang and Dong He have just come out, and the specific official appointments have not yet been implemented, and it is not good to ask Guo Jia or give him advice.
But Guo Jia didn't care about passing the letter to the two of them and asked them to read it again.
Dong He read the letter first, his face was solemn, and he didn't know what to say.
Wu Yi, the Taishou of Xincheng, wrote a letter to expose Gan Ning, the governor of the Taiping Army, who recruited 50,000 soldiers in Jiangling, and his crime can already be convicted of rebellion!
After Xiang Lang saw it, he said: "This is a frame-up." ”
Guo Jia smiled slightly, Xiang Lang is really a talent taught by Sima Hui, no matter what else, at least he saw through the key to the matter at a glance.
After Guo Jia saw this letter, putting aside Wu Yi's motives, at least the content in it could never be true.
Wu Yi is a general, and he has some talent in marching and fighting, but his mind is still not meticulous enough.
Even if Gan Ning recruited troops in Gangneung, how could there be 50,000 people?
If he conquers the counties of Jingnan, he can recruit 50,000 troops, and the three counties of Nanjun and Yidu Jianping alone will only recruit 20,000 or 30,000 troops at best.
But even if he really recruited 50,000 soldiers, where would he get the money and food to support?
Take another 10,000 steps back, will such a big move in recruiting troops be airtight?
In that case, why didn't Wu Yi seek verification?
Guo Jia couldn't figure out what was here, obviously Wu Yi sent a secret letter in a critical situation where he didn't have time to think.
Xiang Lang only said one word, and no further, he didn't dare to say it anymore.
Since it was Wu Yi who framed Gan Ning, why did he do it?
For the time being, he has not yet entered the center of Guo Jia Group, and what Xiang Lang can guess is nothing more than a game in the army.
Maybe Wu Yi wanted to bring down Gan Ning, or maybe it was the cutting-edge generals who didn't follow Guo Jia into Shu and were pressed down below were not convinced and wanted to fight for power and profit.
No matter what it is, Xiang Lang will not say much, and the end of participating in this kind of struggle is often the two extremes.
But Wu Yi's methods are too clumsy after all.
Dong He and Xiang Lang looked at each other, each tacitly silent.
Dong He also thought that it was an internal political struggle, but it was not necessarily only the generals in the army who participated in it, Xincheng was too guarded by Wu Yi's side, but there was also a military advisor Fa Zheng, and Fa Zheng was in the position of Guo Jia's group, Wu Yi was sure that Fa Zheng would know what he did, so why did this letter still go to Guo Jia's hands? Does Fa Zheng also think that Gan Ning dares to recruit troops in Jiangling, even if he really dares, can he really recruit 50,000 soldiers?
Therefore, Fa Zheng is obviously on Wu Yi's side, but it seems to be a very stupid act.
Just as the two were silent, Guo Jia was also closing his eyes and pondering, Xiao Yi walked in again, and this time, he gave Guo Jia two secret letters.
Guo Jia grinned, there are a lot of things today.
These two secret letters were written by Fa Zheng and Pang Tong, and after Guo Jia read them, he did not let Xiang Lang and Dong He look at them as before.
The suspicion dissipated, and after Guo Jia read the secret letters of these two subordinate strategists, he finally knew what was going on in Jingzhou.
"Let's go to the lobby next door with me."
Guo Jia got up and invited the two to come to the main hall of Yizhou Mansion together, sat on the main seat, and Guo Jia ordered people to convene the civil and military forces in Chengdu to come to discuss the matter.
Guo Jia, who was sitting on the main seat, let Xiang Lang and Dong He really see what is called the city government and momentum, Guo Jia, who had talked to them very happily before, exuded an invisible majesty only in an instantaneous calm expression.
Not angry and arrogant, with strong momentum, Guo Jia's expression has already told everyone that what he is going to talk about next is not ordinary.
The generals who hurried from the barracks thought that a war had broken out, and they all stood in the hall with bated breath, ready to listen to Guo Jia's orders.
When Wen Dong and Wu Xi were not bad, Guo Jia asked Xiao Yi to read Wu Yi's secret letter in public.
In this letter, Wu Yi said that he hoped that Guo Jia would not be silent for the time being, and after the battle of Fancheng was over, Gan Ning would be dealt with.
When Xiao Yilang finished reading, Xu Chu immediately stood up angrily and shouted: "What nonsense! Nonsense! This Wu Yi is a ghost, he intends to slander the Metropolitan Governor, this matter cannot be spared, the lord, I use a head guarantee, the Metropolitan Governor will never make an unwarranted move, let alone betray the lord. ”
Other generals, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Zhang Yan, Deng Zhi, Zhang Ren, etc., came out together to support Xu Chu and use their heads as a guarantee.
However, Guo Jia was unmoved, and his face sank.
Xi Zhicai stepped out quietly, and said softly: "Although this matter is strange, it may not be empty, and the lord must deal with it carefully." ”
Xi Zhicai's words made the generals very uncomfortable, so Dian Wei turned his head and asked him: "Master Xi, what do you mean by this?" Do you believe that the Metropolitan will betray the lord? ”
Xi Zhicai lowered his head indifferently, and said lightly: "If the Metropolitan Governor behaves properly, then the matter will be investigated, isn't it also proof for the Metropolitan Governor?" ”
