(Thank you Dameng, early morning two combo rewards, thank you so much!) There is also Zhao Wuxian 2014, the glorious charter as always, thank you! οΌ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the backyard of the Taishou Mansion in Liaodong, under a leafy black locust tree, there are several short cases and two rows of soft seats with pu leaves, and a middle-aged man with a fat figure and a long crown and light robe is combing under the waiting of a group of maids.
This person has a broad forehead, thick eyebrows, slender eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, and a handful of beautiful hair under the chin. A maid held a bronze mirror in his hand and asked the middle-aged man to take a photo, the middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and all the maids and maids bent down and bowed their heads, respectfully retreated and dispersed.
At this time, the servant who had been standing cautiously at the foot of the stone steps not far away stepped forward and bowed down to report: "Envoy Jun, Yang Bei is here." β
The middle-aged man bowed his head: "Biography." β
There are several people who are qualified to be called envoys in Liaodong, but in Liaodong Taishou Mansion, there is only one person - Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du.
If you just look at the appearance, it is hard to believe that this person with a very great appearance and a righteous face can have such a decisive and ruthless means to set off a bloody storm in Liaodong. But looking through Gongsun Du's resume, it is not difficult to find clues from it.
Gongsun Du was originally just a small official of Xuansu, because he was similar to Gongsun Leopard, the son of Xuansu Taishou Gongsun Chen, who died early, and it happened that Gongsun Du's nickname was also called "Leopard". This series of coincidences is simply tailor-made for the appreciation of the leader. Next, things are like a subordinate who is appreciated by the leader, and Gongsun Du's life road is going to a broad road.
Gongsun Chen first sent him to study, married him a wife, and then recommended him to be Shang Shulang. Since then, the official fortune has been prosperous and prosperous. Before the age of forty, he became a provincial and ministerial-level member of Jizhou Assassin History. This can be used as an inspirational teaching material for a person from a humble background and no family background.
However, with the death of Gongsun Chen, Gongsun Du, who lacked a network foundation, was soon kicked off from the position of Jizhou Assassin and sat on the cold bench for several years, until the end of Zhongping, the second noble person in his life appeared. This person is Dong Zhuo's subordinates. Xu Rong, who was the general of Zhonglang at the time.
Xu Rongtong was born in Xuansu County, and Gongsun Du was a township party with each other, and in the sixth year of Zhongping (189), he recommended Gongsun Du as the Taishou of Liaodong.
Gongsun Du has endured for a few years, and he has not gained nothing. From the ups and downs of his officialdom, he summed up that only toughness can have power. There is no backstage, and you are the biggest backstage; If you don't have a background, you are the most powerful background.
Gongsun Du's toughness was shown from the beginning of his tenure. Previously, Xiangping ordered Gongsun Zhao. He once forcibly conscripted his son Gongsun Kang to guard the army, and only served as the commander of the army. This is not inappropriate for the background of the Gongsun family, but for a son of the assassin level. It borders on humiliation.
As soon as Gongsun Du took office, he sought an opportunity to convict Gongsun Zhao and whipped him to death in the downtown area. The brutality of the means is terrifying.
Thereafter. Because of the background of Gongsun Du, coupled with the violent means, the Zhongwang clan in Liaodong County was both despisable and afraid. The confrontation intensified, and finally Cheng DΓΉ, who had to tear his face, arrived.
In the third year of the first peace, Gongsun Du, who had already gained a firm foothold and reached an alliance of interests with the major families of Junzhongyang, Liu, Yang, and Jia, took the lead and launched a bloody purge. In just one year, Liaodong was built into a powerful government with the will of his Gongsun Du as the main will, and became the weakest prince in the world at that time.
The victory in the battle of the Sweeping Family was gratifying, but Gongsun Du did not indulge in joy for too long, this was only the first step in his plan, and the next step was the key. Don't drive the arrival of the Yangyi, that's for this.
"Yang Yi see the lord."
The person in front of him, who is about thirty years old, with a long face, thin and tall, well-groomed, and a high-sounding appearance, is the Taishou Mansion in Liaodong and is engaged in Yangyi. In Liaodong, the Yang family is definitely a family second to none, and the last head of the Yang family, Yang Zhong, is the former Liaodong Taishou. In the past ten years, he has made great achievements in governing the county with his own prestige and family support. But this person was unlucky, and in the fourth year of Zhongping (187), he was killed by Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju of the rebellion, which cheapened Gongsun Du.
Yang Yi is the eldest son, and after taking over as the head of the Yang family, Gongsun Du tried his best to win over him, and he was very dependent on it, as if he was the No. 2 person in Liaodong.
Seeing this arm more than ten years younger than himself kneeling on the soft mat and saluting, Gongsun Du did not dare to slack off, knelt together, straightened his body, raised his sleeves and raised his hips, and closed his sleeves to return the salute.
Gongsun Du dared to cut off the Liaodong family, and Cheng DΓΉ also got the support of the Yang family, without the support of the Yang family's Qian Gu, Gongsun Du would not even be able to survive the Zhen family's 200,000 Hu Gu millet and collapse. Of course, the Yang family's doing this is not a dedication of love, and they can get at least 20% of the family property that was confiscated afterwards.
Gongsun Du smiled and said to Yang Yi: "Zixiu, although you and I are superiors and subordinates, we are also in-laws, this is a private house in the backyard, so you don't have to be so formal." β
Yangyi's cousin married Gongsun Kang, the son of Gongsun Du, and the relationship between the two families is still quite close. The marriage between Taishou and local famous families was a common method used by various forces during the Three Kingdoms period.
Yang Yi saluted and said: "The ceremony is here but it is an official matter, and the ceremony cannot be abolished." β
As soon as it was said that it was a business matter, Gongsun Du's face was straight, and he sat upright with his hands: "Zixiu, please speak." β
"There has been a message from the post guard to welcome the relatives Zheng Zhi and the military horse envoy Zhang Xiaowei, and the bride of the Zhen family has no worries and is rushing to Xiangping."
"Well, that's good." Gongsun Du smiled, "It's really not easy to send relatives for thousands of miles, but fortunately the journey is safe...... Could it be that something has changed? Before he finished speaking, he saw that Yang Yi's face was different, so he changed his words and asked.
Yang Yi told Zheng Gao the truth about the answer to the head and snatching his relatives.
Sure enough, as Su Fuyan's father and son and Zheng Gao expected, although Gongsun Du was very annoyed, he did not express how indignant he was. Hearing the back, he nodded frequently, obviously satisfied with this result. All he wanted was people and food, and although the dowry was less than half, it was quite acceptable, and as for whether the bride would be harmed, it was not something that a Taishou had to consider.
Similarly, after the matter was properly resolved, Yang Yi did not take the matter to heart anymore, but the focus of the conversation turned to another important figure in the family robbery incident-Ma Han.
What Yang Yi said next, if Ma Han heard it, he would be surprised. What Yang Yi said was: "Of the 2,000 soldiers we handed over to White Wolf City, more than 800 people were selected as the first soldiers, and more than 1,000 people were auxiliaries. There are seven people who are above the rank of the team, and the highest military rank is military marquis, and one person has been awarded this position. It's a pity that no one can serve as a military Sima, not even a fake Sima. β
Gongsun Du nodded: "How many people are available among these military marquis, tooth generals, tun commanders, and team leaders?" β
Yang Yi was confident: "Don't worry, when the army was recruited, Yi moved all the families of those soldiers to one place and made them guarded. There are soldiers and relatives in hand, don't talk about military generals, even those soldiers, as long as they give an order, most of them will obey. It's just that it shouldn't be delayed for too long, if it takes three years or two years, the white wolf battalion will be formed, and it will be difficult to say. β
I have to say that Yang Yi's hand is quite insidious, if Ma Han didn't use that trick to brainwash Dafa, the result is really hard to say.
Gongsun Du said lightly: "I won't wait that long, wait for this matter, the next step is to clean up the military." β
Attacking Haoqiang and erecting authority is only the first step, and in the next step, Gongsun Du will reorganize the army, and this combination must be beaten. Liaodong families, large and small, have certain connections in the army, and the children of the clan all serve in the army. Although most of the posts are not high and scattered everywhere, this hidden danger must not be underestimated, and the rectification of the army is absolutely the top priority. When implementing this plan, Gongsun Du thought of Liaoxi.
To tell the truth, when Gongsun Du allocated a city to the Han Ge Department of Ma Han, he didn't think that this young man would be so good at things, but in just one year, tens of thousands of people and 5,000 soldiers and horses were tossed. This made Gongsun Du happy and worried, happy that there was this strong army of soldiers and horses, Liaoxi was under control, and Liucheng's Badun was much more honest, and he no longer dared to cross the Yiwu Mountain at will, and plundered the border city in eastern Liao; The worry is that this is just another department after all, and it is completely out of his control. This is almost intolerable for a male lord who has just won a great victory in the battle against local tyrants, has gradually become ambitious, and wants to achieve the great cause of "King of Liaodong".
At this time, at that time, the original hound has become a fierce wolf with sharp teeth and claws, and when the chain is no longer tight, how to seize the leadership of this group of wild wolves has become a big problem in front of us.
"If you want to collect the wolves, behead the wolves first!" Yang Yi made a slashing action, "Take advantage of his entry into the county this time to report on his work, and capture it at the right time." β
Gongsun Du pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "It is an eventful autumn now, and the counties and the army are in turmoil, so it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches for the time being. When I receive this person, I will be appeased, and it is best to make him happy and sincerely submit to my Liaodong Army. β
"What if they don't?"
"Don't worry, Zixiu, I have a plan, and I will definitely take away his army." Gongsun Du said with a confident smile, "It's that Zixiu wants to step up the encirclement of the generals of White Wolf City." That Tian Guorang is a talent, but he seems to be a little ignorant, but he doesn't know how Zhao Zilong and Taishi Ziyi are. β
Yang Yi thought for a while and said: "One of these two people is a small official in Huang County, and the other is a general in the army. β
"Okay, this matter will be handed over to you, and after the matter is completed, I will reward it with White Wolf City."
Yang Yi was overjoyed when she heard this, and bowed in thanks. He has been secretly arguing with the chief bookkeeper Liu Yi. Previously, the matter of White Wolf City had always been led by Liu Yi, and last year, there was nothing to be seen at the meeting, it was nothing more than a group of migratory people. I don't want that a year later, White Wolf City will become a delicious fruit, how can Yang Yi not be hot. At this moment, with Taishou's promise, Yang Yi's pride is needless to say, not only to get a city, but more importantly, he has won another round against Liu Yi.
Gongsun Du repeatedly told him to take the opportunity of delivering grain every quarter to install more fine work in White Wolf City, and Yangyi only responded.
Gongsun Du and his right-hand man never dreamed that when they were still talking about how to set up the grassroots level, Ma Han had already sent a super spy into the depths of Gongsun's mansion. (To be continued......)
