Chapter 110: Departure (Part 2)
Gongsun Yi returned to Qingzhou and wiped out a group of rebellious scholars by thunderous means, even some of the scholars who did not really participate in the rebellion were also implicated.
Just when everyone in the Shi clan was in danger, Gongsun Yi gathered everyone and proposed the formation of a chamber of commerce, and the Xiao cavalry army also participated in it, escorting the goods and trade, and letting the Kong family give up a lot of benefits to the various families, and the business alliance was formally established for a while, Gongsun Yi almost used the interests of other scholars to tie everyone on a warship, presumably it will be difficult for these scholars to have the heart to rebel in the future.
There was joy in the Beihai Mansion, Gongsun Yi returned safely, and Kong Yue was also welcomed back by Tian Yu's army, but what made Gongsun Yi the happiest was Gan Ning, who came with the team.
As a very important general of Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, his value Gongsun Yi is naturally familiar, and more importantly, if he occupies Liaodong in the future, he will travel between Qingzhou and Liaodong, and the leader must be Ganning.
Gongsun Yi quality Gan Ning good face, when Gan Ning plundered between the counties, if the county officials are polite, they will make friends sincerely, if they don't pay attention, they will gather people to attack the city, slaughter the officials are not a few, they are good to kill conceited, but they are also loyal and courageous.
Gongsun Yi set up a banquet to invite everyone, but when everyone came to the banquet, they were surprised to find that a huge table was set up in the banquet at some point, and there were strange wooden utensils around it, and Gongsun Yi was sitting on it.
Seeing that everyone was coming, Gongsun Yi personally stepped forward and introduced a group of guests into the seats, and the guests were very curious about the chairs they were sitting on.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the chair had not yet been invented, and the banquet was mostly in the form of kneeling and sitting, Gongsun Yi had the idea of designing a chair, but he had not been able to spare time, and this time he returned to Qingzhou to be idle.
Immediately devoted himself to the cause of designing chairs, and at the same time realized that with the increasing number of ministers under his subordinates, although this arrangement showed status, it was also possible to make his generals resentful, and if it took a long time, it would inevitably give rise to dissenting thoughts, and this huge round table was to imitate King Arthur's round table ceremony, everyone sat on an equal footing, and it was more able to unite the hearts of everyone.
Soon a group of generals arrived in turn, Gongsun Yi arranged the position around him to Gan Ning, seeing that he could sit on an equal footing with Jizhou Mu, Hussar General, and Yonghou Gongsun Yi, even if Gan Ning was arrogant, he was a little flattered.
Although he was a little unaccustomed to this round table, Gongsun Yi frequently communicated with everyone present, and after three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere quickly became warm, until late at night, when everyone dispersed, Gongsun Yi invited Gan Ning into the study to discuss.
"Xingba has been crisscrossing the Yellow River, lakes and seas for many years, I don't know what plans I have in the future?"
"Lord Gongsun, I am a rough person, I am just happy to enmity and hatred on the rivers, Lord Gongsun is so courteous, Gan Ning is willing to follow."
"I want to build a warship to form a navy, and Xingba is willing to serve as the governor of the navy?" Gongsun Yi asked expectantly.
Gongsun Yi's appointment is also a decentralization of power, that is to say, the future navy is completely controlled by Gan Ning, if Gan Ning takes refuge in others, it is tantamount to a salary draw for Gongsun Yi, and there is no doubt about employing people, and if you want to keep Gan Xingba, you can only trust it wholeheartedly.
Gan Ning's face was full of shock, he didn't expect Gongsun Yi to be very serious to him as soon as he opened, this was in the era at that time, without any recommendation from anyone, it was something that must not happen, Gan Ning was excited, and hurriedly knelt down and hugged his fists and said: "Gan Ning is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”
"General Gan only needs to let go of his hands and feet to do it, everything can be cut first and then played!"
"The last general will be afraid, and he will not fail in his mission." The soldier died as a confidant, Gan Ning was originally just a Jinfan thief and a thief, and he became the governor of the navy, such a leap in promotion, I am afraid that there is no one before and no one after him, and the excitement is beyond words.
Personally sent Gan Ning out of the mansion, Gongsun Yi was about to go to the bedroom, when suddenly there was a whisper at the door, only to hear one of them: "This letter is eight hundred miles urgent, and it will be delivered to the lord tonight!" ”
The other person said coldly: "You are crazy, the lord has gone to the bedroom to rest, and the big thing will be talked about tomorrow." ”
"But!"
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and several guards were startled and hurriedly bowed.
"Come in."
The dusty guard finally breathed a sigh of relief, stepped into it and knelt down and said, "Lord, the villain came to deliver the letter on the order of General Meng Gangmeng, and asked the lord to read it." As he spoke, he carefully handed a letter to Gongsun Yi.
"Go down and rest, and I will find you tomorrow."
"No."
After the armor soldier pushed down, Gongsun Yi opened the letter, and sure enough, the content of the letter was full of greetings, and there was no mention of Chang'an.
Meng Gang was originally ordered by Gongsun Yi to lurk in Chang'an, and served as a general by Dong Zhuo's side for several years.
Opened the envelope with his hand, and sure enough, there were small characters written on the inside of the envelope, and after reading it twice, Gongsun Yi lit the letter, watched the flames devour it, turned around and walked to the side of the bed and stood with his hands in his hands for a while. It turned out that a few days ago, Situ Wang Yun gave a woman Diao Chan to Dong Zhuo, but half a month later, he was found to have a private meeting with his son Lu Bu, and he threw a halberd to beat Lu Bu in anger.
It's just that Dong Zhuo is not the king of Chuzhuang, there is no measure at all, and seeing that his beloved treasure is coveted by others, he is very disgusted with Lu Bu for a while, so that he cannot get close to within a hundred zhang.
Even a group of generals who had a close relationship with Lu Bu were also implicated, especially Lu Bu's fellow villagers, Li Su, the hero who persuaded Lu Bu to surrender, was demoted again and again, and he was angry for a while, and he didn't know that Dong Zhuo had betrayed his relatives.
According to the time, Dong Zhuo's death is approaching, and his generals Li Dao, Guo Huai and others are about to lead people to attack and kill Chang'an, although this is a good opportunity to rescue Emperor Han Xian, but even if the emperor is rescued, with the current strength of Gongsun Yi in Qingzhou, he cannot keep the emperor, if he coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he will inevitably be besieged by many princes on all sides.
Gongsun Yi just thought about it and quickly gave up this idea, at this time Qingzhou was calm, after the establishment of the business alliance, although the reshuffled family was not a monolith of the alliance, but there were common interests and cooperation.
Now that there are forces against Gongsun Yi, there is no need for the cavalry to make a move, and these families will strangle these in the cradle for their own interests.
The surrounding forces Yuan Shao and Cao Cao all worked hard to govern Jizhou and Yanzhou respectively, and Tao Qian also quickly withdrew his troops, and sent Chen Xin's young son who was beheaded, and took the initiative to give a lot of cattle and grain, but reached a reconciliation on the surface.
Gongsun Yi soon came up with the idea of going to Chang'an in person, not only hoping to pick up Cai Yong and Cai Yan to return to Qingzhou safely, but more importantly, Gongsun Yi hoped to personally go to see Jia Xu, who was known as a poisonous man in later generations.
Gongsun Yi has suffered a great loss from Xun Yu, even this attack on Jizhou, but also was frustrated under the strong wall Qingye strategy to withdraw the army, although Qingzhou is strong and strong, but there is no internal talent and peace of mind to consult with the resourceful people.
This is a great drawback, but at this time, Gongsun Yi did not change his way for a while, he could only invest his hope in Jia Xu, who was in Chang'an at this time, and it was in the sky to make things happen, Gongsun Yi had to do his best, at least let Jia Xu see the sincerity.
The next day, Gongsun Yi wanted to lead the elite soldiers to Chang'an, which suddenly attracted a burst of opposition, for the attitude of the generals, Gongsun Yi couldn't laugh or cry, in fact, Gongsun Yi was not obstinate, the night before had been thinking for a long time, and all the possible things were expected.
Go to Chang'an, to pass through Yanzhou, although Cao Cao has a covetous heart for Qingzhou, but not ruthless enough to kill him to grab the territory, although Cao Cao is a decisive hero, but not a vicious thug, as long as the fanfare passes through Yanzhou, there must be no danger, not only that, presumably Cao Cao's person, will also send people to protect all the way.
What's more, Gongsun Yi will not enter the Chang'an territory, this time he will only go to the district to greet Cai Yong's family, and meet Jia Xu, who may be forcibly kidnapped, Gongsun Yi is full of confidence, despite everyone's opposition, but Gongsun Yi has made up his mind to go.
Soon, on the issue of the candidate to follow Gongsun Yi to Qingzhou, everyone fought for a while, and almost fought on the spot, and finally Gongsun Yi still took Guan Hai to go, as for the others have their own tasks, Gongsun Yi was appointed in turn, and everyone had to follow orders.
