Chapter 44 Xun You's Intention
"I didn't want to see Mr. Gongda today, and I was overjoyed, so I lost my temper and prayed for forgiveness."
In the face of Li Zheng's sincere compliments, even if Xun Yu has a lot of money in his belly and has cultivated well, he will inevitably feel happy. For a while, Li Zheng's senses were a lot more cordial.
"False praise."
Xun You waved his sleeves, smiled modestly, looked at Li Zheng's handsome face with cool eyes, and said, "Captain Li is the best among people!" With less than 100 people, he broke into the army formation, beheaded the enemy generals, won successive battles, broke through tens of thousands of traitors' army, and rescued Nanrong Gong safely. Who among the younger generation can match such achievements? Xun is a scholar in the world, and he has no merits in the world, which is really insignificant compared to Captain Li. ā
The two complimented each other, suddenly looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing in unison.
"How could Mr. Gongda come thousands of miles away to come to this Lingzhou border? Earlier, I thought that the imperial court would send a yellow gate to announce the decree at will. ā
Li Zheng was in a good mood and said with a smile.
As he said, he never thought that a great god like Xun You would come to Liangzhou at this time and under such circumstances to read the edict to him.
Although it is said that the main job of the Huangmen squire is to read the edict, in addition to the official position of the Huangmen squire, there are also eunuchs subordinate to the inner palace such as the small yellow gate and the yellow gate order, which also assume this responsibility.
There is no need for Xun You to wade into this troubled water when Liangzhou is extremely chaotic. Besides, Li Zheng, the only lieutenant of Qiang Guard, may not be worthy of Xun You's attention.
When Xun You heard this, he said with a smile: "This time, when Brother Nanrong returned to Luoyang and drank with me, he talked about Captain Li and praised him very much, which made me very curious. After learning about Captain Li's achievements in detail, I couldn't help but be amazed. ā
Saying that, Xun You smiled leisurely and continued: "Brother Nanrong and I were friends in the early years, and Brother Nanrong also wrote to Captain Li. One wants to see Captain Li himself, the second is to be distracted, and the third is to see what the situation in Liangzhou is. ā
Li Zheng listened to Xun You's words, and as soon as his mind turned, he was about to understand a little.
The most important thing for Xun Yu to come to Lingzhou this time is not to announce the decree to Li Zheng, nor to send a letter, but to the situation in Liangzhou.
Perhaps because of the appearance of Li Zheng, the current situation in Liangzhou has undergone some changes. Maybe it was Fu Xie's request, maybe it was Xun You's heart, so Xun You's trip to Liangzhou was born.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then entered the official announcement stage.
The decree of this era is not like the extremely servile tone of the Qing court dramas in later generations, but it is very relaxed and natural.
Xun You didn't open the edict, only said the content of the edict about once, and then Li Zheng bowed down to the edict, took the edict with both hands, and showed respect, and it was over.
Then, Xun You took out Fu Xie's letter to Li Zheng and handed it to Li Zheng.
Then, the two chatted for a while, and Xun You went down to rest because he was tired from a long distance.
After Xun You left the hall, Li Zheng sat silently for a while. Only then did he open the bamboo slip on the desk - Fu Xie's letter.
"Brother Li Zheng
I went to Luoyang in July, and met with the Son of Heaven to send this letter to my friend Xun Gongda to Liangzhou matters, and I can consult Xun Gongda more to ask the virtuous brother to keep his heart and live up to my expectations.
Brother Fu Nanrong"
Rows of elegant small seals flowed in front of him, and a hot current rose in Li Zheng's heart.
No matter what Li Zheng thought, he knew that Fu Xie really cared about him.
In this world, this is the first person to care for Li Zheng as a brother. There is no discrimination, no contempt, and a sense of intimacy fills Li Zheng's heart.
He seemed to feel that his estrangement from the world was getting lighter and fainter.
Gathering his thoughts, Li Zheng filtered the information in the letter in his heart.
Fu Xie told him that because of the defeat in the Liangzhou war, although the main responsibility was on Geng Wei and others, after Fu Xie returned to Luoyang, he was also questioned, removed from his official position, and was idle in Luoyang's residence.
Therefore, it is impossible for Fu Xie to lead his troops to attack Liangzhou again in a short period of time. According to Fu Xie's estimate, if there is no ten permanent attendants to interfere with it, there will definitely be a turnaround next year.
Therefore, Fu Xie instructed Li Zheng to be careful and beware of the attack of Han Sui's rebels. At the same time, Fu Xie asked his friend Xun Yu to go to Liangzhou. One Xun You is indeed a little tired of the battle in Luoyang, and wants to walk around. The second is to hope that Xun You can help Li Zheng and stabilize the situation in the rear of Liangzhou.
As for Li Zheng's official position, it is also easy.
Fu Xie only regarded Li Zheng's as the Son of Heaven, which aroused the interest of the Son of Heaven. What's more, because Li Zheng was nailed to Liangzhou, there were no disadvantages for the Han Dynasty, and the position of Captain Huqiang had long existed in name only, and no one was interested, so he immediately responded to Fu Xie's request and promised this martial position.
Closing the book, Li Zheng closed his eyes slightly.
Sure enough, as he expected, the reason why Xun Yu came to Lingzhou was indeed related to the situation. Not only because of Fu Xie's request, but also because of the needs of the imperial court -- presumably many people in the court are not very at ease with Li Zheng, not because they are afraid that Li Zheng will also follow Han Sui to rebel, but because they are afraid that Li Zheng is not capable enough to stabilize the situation.
That's why Xun You's trip to Liangzhou.
In this regard, Li Zheng was only happy in his heart.
With Xun You's plan, Li Zheng is not only much more leisurely, but also relaxed, and the pressure is reduced.
With a long exhalation, Li Zheng stood up, and after returning to the back hall, he treasured Fu Xie's letters, and turned around to call Zhou Fei to the mansion study.
Zhou Fei also happened to have something to find Li Zheng, so when he met, he said: "Lord, this time the angel came to Lingzhou, I don't know how long he will stay?" The magic of Lingzhou, do you want to keep it secret? ā
"That's what I asked you about."
Li Zheng asked Zhou Fei to sit down and said, "I learned from Brother Fu's letter that the main purpose of the angel's visit to Lingzhou this time is to help me stabilize the situation in the rear of Liangzhou, and I will definitely not leave in a short time." This angel is a talented person from the Yingchuan Xun clan, Xun Yu Xun Gongda, and when we meet in the future, we should be respectful. ā
Zhou Fei hurriedly agreed.
"As for Lingzhou City, there are actually no big secrets, it doesn't matter. Besides, as long as it takes a long time, you can't hide it, so it's better to open it up and show him. Of course, the Shenzhou Grassland will definitely not be open to it, you should pay attention to this. Li Zheng pondered.
Although Li Zheng covets Xun You's talent, Li Zheng is self-aware.
Now he is just a captain who protects Qiang, although he already has some fame, but he will definitely not be valued by a person from Xun You's background, so Li Zheng didn't plan to recruit Xun You early in the morning, it was just a ridiculous and generous behavior.
Since Xun You can't be recruited, then there is a secret about the Shenzhou grassland, so he can't let him know.
As for the Qingjia War Horse or the Mountain Wolf Horse, with all kinds of excellent first-order armor, and even the miraculous crop of ginseng wheat, it is basically impossible to hide it - whenever there is a war, these forces will definitely be dispatched, and the ginseng wheat will also be promoted to the entire Lingzhou, not blind, they can all be seen, it is better to show it generously. Maybe it can play a very exciting role.
Zhou Fei understood and retired.
The next day, Li Zheng met with Xun You again.
What the two discussed this time was a major matter related to the situation in Liangzhou.
First of all, Xun You learned from Li Zheng about the power under Li Zheng's hands. Li Zheng did not hide it, but only said that there were more than 100 elite cavalry, nearly 1,000 elite foot soldiers, and the remaining 3,000 ordinary soldiers.
Then, Xun You asked about the news about Han Sui's rebels.
Li Zheng didn't know much about this, most of them were information synthesized from hearsay collected by the caravan, and it was vague.
In this regard, Xun You also expressed helplessness.
The two discussed for a morning, and Xun Yu proposed a proposal for the current situation.
Take advantage of it!
Whose momentum is borrowed?
Huns!
But it turned out that when Xun You set off from Luoyang and arrived in Chang'an, he got the news that Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, who were from Yuyang, Youzhou, rebelled. At that time, the Son of Heaven issued an edict and ordered the Southern Xiongnu to send troops to attack Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju.
Xun You feels that he can make a fuss in this regard.
The Southern Xiongnu has always been a dog raised by the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven issued an order, so it was natural to obey it. In this way, it can confuse the public, only the Southern Xiongnu sent troops, one wanted to crusade against the rebellion in Youzhou, but the other would also divide one army and go to Liangzhou to crusade against Han Sui!
Therefore, Han Sui will definitely send a detailed investigation, but the Southern Xiongnu did move troops, no matter what, it will definitely make Han Sui suspicious and dare not make a move.
Therefore, Xun Youjian yƬ Li Zheng secretly released this news to let Han Sui know, which made him jealous and bought time for Lingzhou to grow stronger.
But Li Zheng realized another intention from Xun Yu's construction!
It seems to take advantage of the Xiongnu to deter Han Sui, but at the same time, it also completely attracted Han Sui's attention to the north of Liangzhou, that is, Beidi County, which borders the Xiongnu territory!
The purpose of this is actually to divert Han Sui's attention, so that he will not dare to use troops against the three auxiliaries in a short period of time, so as not to make enemies on both sides and buy time for Han Court to recruit troops and horses!
Li Zheng, who was transparent in his heart, did not object to Xun You's proposal, and asked Xun You to personally preside over this matter.
In Li Zheng's view, the underlying essence is that Han Sui was jealous of the Southern Xiongnu in the Hetao. Otherwise, after ruling most of Liangzhou, why didn't he immediately send people to attack Lingzhou?
Han Sui's attention, in fact, was already quite partly attracted by the Huns.
Doing so now is only to strengthen its vigilance against the Xiongnu and its concern for Lingzhou.
Moreover, Han Sui's main purpose, no matter what, is actually to attack Sanfu Chang'an, a place like Beidi County that is both dangerous and has no oil and water, will definitely not be taken into his eyes.
Even if Han Sui would send troops and horses to attack, Li Zheng was not afraid. Could it be that Han Sui will still come out of the nest!? Absolutely not, his main force will definitely be placed on the front line of Sanfu to guard against a bigger enemy, Han Ting. At most, send a partial division to attack Lingzhou.
In this way, it is strange that Li Zheng will be afraid!
Now cooperating with Xun You, one is to leave a good impression on Xun You.
Second, he is now a Hanchen, and he naturally has to think about the Han court in a certain way.
Moreover, in such a situation, he didn't want to disappoint Fu Xie.
That's all.
What's more, after Li Zheng learned that Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju rebelled and the Son of Heaven ordered the Xiongnu to conquer, his mind had shifted to the Hetao region in the north.
The territory of the Huns, that's a piece of fat.
