Chapter 8: Hu Ren Comes to Detain the Pass
It was not difficult to send a letter to Gongsun Du, and the letter was delivered to him six days later.
said in his heart that if Gongsun Du was willing to give up his military power and become a real power guard, he could be appointed as Hongnong Taishou. And it is not impossible to only rise and not fall in his lifetime, and it is not impossible to even be named the Marquis of Guannei.
Even his two sons, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong, are now studying at Jinyang University. After the examination next year, he will be able to take the civil service examination, and when the father and son will enter the officialdom, it will be impossible to say that they will be able to create a good story of three marquis.
Fang Yun also sat and talked without low back pain, and really let him arrange it like this, mainly because Gongsun Du would die in 204 AD, that is, there were still nine years to go before he passed away when he was fifty-four years old. In nine years, even if he can be promoted, he will be promoted to the level of ministerial-level officials at most, and at most he will be promoted by half a level and retire from the post of vice premier.
As for the two sons, they can indeed be promoted. But it's up to their talent to decide which step they can take.
Gongsun Kang only lived to 228 AD, and he couldn't do it in twenty years.
After 220 A.D., Gongsun Gong became a eunuch directly due to a serious illness and had no heirs in his life.
As for Gongsun Du's two grandsons, Gongsun Yuan is still a little capable, but his vision is not good. There is already a trend of returning to Wei in the world, but he still wants to raise troops against Wei, and as a result, he is killed and wiped out, and his brother Gongsun Huang is also affected.
When the letter arrived on Gongsun Du's side, he himself simply looked at it and tore the letter to shreds. It's not that he doesn't believe in Fang Yun's promise, but his grandson's family has long taken root in Liaodong, how can he leave this land?
Again. Without the power of the army, it is equivalent to putting one's neck under someone else's knife. The letter promises that although it looks good. Actually in the process. The other party takes down himself under the pretext of plotting misdeeds or other excuses, can he resist without military power? Even, the letter even had the meaning of threatening his two sons, which made people even more angry!
No one is a fool, and Gongsun Du is not a horseman who only knows how to fight. After he became the Taishou of Liaodong, he not only expanded the territory for the Han Dynasty, attacked Goguryeo many times, but also built roads to various places many times. The construction school hall teaches the people of Liaodong to learn.
The only regret is that Guan Ning and Bingyuan, who went to Liaodong to hide from the soldiers in history, did not come to Liaodong in this time and space, which made his teachers a little short.
"General, we have already declared ourselves ministers to the Great Han, and even the two young masters have been sent to Jinyang, but Fang Yun is so aggressive, why don't you strike first?" Gongsun Du's cronies Yang Yi immediately admonished.
"No, since the lord is a Hanchen, this letter is an orthodox position transfer. If it is not to accept it, it does not prove that the lord has the intention of separating one party? When the time comes, it will give them an excuse to attack! Another cronie, Liu Yi, was against it.
"You mean, we've worked hard over the years. Just because all of them were sent out because of a letter? "Yang Yi's relationship with Liu Yi was not very good, so this time he naturally burst out.
"No, the lord was originally the Liaodong Taishou of the Han Dynasty, guarding the frontier for the Han Dynasty, and building a place is its own responsibility. And since the other party sent the letter first, it obviously didn't want to embarrass the lord too much, maybe he could ask for more power, and if he could get some military power, it might not be impossible to accept this deal.
In the final analysis, Liaodong is just a bitter cold place, in recent years, the merchants who came to the west have depicted Bingzhou and Jizhou as a fairyland on earth. Liu Yi said with a smile.
Why Gongsun Du wants to expand his territory, in fact, they themselves know best. Liaodong is bitterly cold and remote, and the population is scarce, and no one wants to move here to live, and Gongsun Du can't develop even if he wants to develop the economy.
In desperation, he crusaded against Goguryeo, and even on the Wuhuan or Xianbei side, he would send troops to conquer, but the purpose was to capture a group of people back and supplement the needs of his rule. Rao is like this, population is still the biggest shortcoming of Liaodong. The dignified Liaodong Taishou Governance Office, in the air of merchants from the west, is not even comparable to the scale of a county seat in Jizhou.
As the so-called history of assassination in Jiaozhou, it is better to be a county commander in Sizhou. Being a Taishou in Liaodong is completely different from being a county commander in Jizhou or Merging Prefectures, not to mention going directly there to be a Taishou, which is equivalent to being promoted to the third level of officialdom.
The only problem is military power, and without this thing, it will inevitably be a little insecure. However, since the other party has written a letter, there may not be no room for negotiation.
"That's it, where do you want to put the lord's family?" Yang Yi sighed, he didn't know this truth.
"I heard that in the past, Fang Yun raised troops, and there was Zhongshan Zhang's service. Later, he moved to Youzhou Dai County, and recently moved back to Zhongshan County. But because the family has followed Fang Yun for the longest time, there are clansmen living in Jinyang, Daijun and Zhongshan, and the family does not know how many times it has expanded compared with the earliest, and the children of the family are either out of office or in school, from the original family of businessmen to a real family, and I don't know how many others are envious. Liu Yi did not give an answer, but only gave the example of Zhang.
The implication is that Liaodong does not have the protection of Gongsun Du, so will it not move to the state and county where Gongsun Du works? At that time, the Gongsun family was developed, and Liaodong was properly developed, and it was enough to return from migration.
"Enough!" Seeing that the two cronies were arguing, but seemed to be choosing to compromise, Gongsun Du couldn't help but roar angrily.
If he could, what he wanted to hear was advice from the two of them on how to deal with Fang Yun. But I didn't expect that the two of them were not tough guys, in Fang Yun's lewdness. Under the threat, it is getting closer and closer to a compromise.
It is inevitable that a man will have self-esteem, and at the same time, he will have a special attachment to the foundation he has laid. For the land of Liaodong, his grandson Du may have been just a passerby at first, but now it has become his home.
Let him give up Liaodong, I'm afraid it's not realistic. He is reluctant to be here, and he is reluctant to give up the people here.
"General, if you give up your military power, maybe it may not be impossible to continue to serve as the Taishou of Liaodong." The young scholar who had only recently begun to emerge straightened up and said that he actually understood Gongsun Du's thoughts.
Fang Yun's main focus is on the separation of military and government, and Gongsun Du is just too guarded. Governing the place is naturally possible. But let him have the power of the army. There is even the power of conscription. Naturally, this Fang Yun can't tolerate it.
If Gongsun Du simply wants to be a general, or simply a taishou, then Fang Yun can be allowed.
"Since we all have to give up military power, how can we not have a better position for the lord?" Liu Yi shook his head, profit maximization should be the basic concept of political transactions, since it is necessary to give up the military independence of Liaodong. Lixing, then why not serve as a taishou in a more prosperous place.
It's just that he probably guessed Gongsun Du's thoughts, and after saying this. chose to shut up.
"Perhaps, it's time to think about the two sons!" Lun Zhi added.
Gongsun Du was also shocked when he heard this, he really couldn't give up Liaodong, but if Fang Yun continued to attack Liaodong, and even defeated Liaodong for him in the end, not to mention anything else, I was afraid that the two sons would definitely die.
Cutting off children and grandchildren or something was unthinkable at the time, but it was often the end of the loser in the battle for hegemony.
"Lord, we have an old relationship with Wuhuan and Xianbei. Recently, I have even found out that they will make a big move, so why not see what they plan to do first. And then we'll make a decision? If you are lucky, you may be able to conquer Liaoxi County. Even Youbeiping County maybe! The representative of the military side, Bei Yan, gave another suggestion.
Once Gongsun Du is not a Taishou, they will naturally be absorbed by Fang Yun. If you are lucky, you can be a lieutenant, or when you are a town guard, if you are unlucky, you will be laid off and go home directly, and you will live a lifetime with your pockets.
He is only a second-rate general, and when he hears that Fang Yun is a strong general, he is only a deputy general. As the saying goes, he would rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow, and Bei Yan would rather be a general in Liaodong than be a deputy general under Fang Yun.
Wuhuan and Xianbei will indeed move in the near future, mainly because of the sequelae of last year's snow disaster. Now the snow and ice have melted, but many tribes are not able to eat. At this time, Huaitou and Kebineng, and even the king of Wuhuan, Badun, had to stop crusading against the small tribes, and even crusade against each other before, and discuss how to face this situation together.
During this time, Gongsun Du Wuhuan and Xianbei did business, bought a large amount of grain from Youzhou and Jizhou at a low price, and sold it to each other at double the price, but made a lot of money. But he knows better that this little food is only afraid that it will not be able to satisfy the other party's appetite.
"Okay, keep this letter!" Gongsun Du finally made a decision, at this stage he planned to see how the Hu people acted, so he reacted according to the actual situation.
Sure enough, in less than a month, just when Fang Yun gathered people to plan to go on the expedition.
Bad news came from the northern Xinjiang, the Qiang people, the Xianbei and Wuhuan three ethnic groups, a total of 500,000 troops, have been formed, and they are about to go south today to attack the Han border. This is information sent back by the members of the Han Soul Organization who broke into Xianbei's interior, and it is certain that it should be true.
The prompt of the system confirms the authenticity of this news: "Set off to hide the main mission - to protect the family and defend the country." Mission Description: Three alien races are about to launch an invasion against the Han Dynasty, please prepare in time to resist; Mission requirements: Defeat this enemy invasion and kill Huaitou, the commander of the three armies. Rewards: For each Hu leader killed, Force, Dominance, and Intelligence will be increased by 5 points each, and a gold-level lottery will be added 1 time; Kill the locust head, +5 attribute points around the circumference, and 1 gold-level lottery. ”
In ancient wars, there were often 30,000 or 40,000 people claiming to be 300,000 or 400,000, and 500,000 troops should actually be regarded as a very large number. Judging from the current situation of the three ethnic groups, the death is 200,000 troops. Don't think that they can trust each other when they join forces, they are originally life and death, how can the nest not leave some people to watch?
There are four forces participating in the war this time, one is the Qiang tribe, the rising star Cheriji is the mainstay, and there are three generals under the command of the king of Midang, Yueji and Yadan; In addition, there are two Xianbei people, Huaitou and Kebineng, fortunately, the root of Budu has been destroyed, otherwise I am afraid that it will be three armies; In the end, it was the Wuhuan people who were on this road, Fang Yun had killed his brother Lou Ban earlier, which enabled him to ascend to the throne, but in terms of racial interests, he would not show mercy to Fang Yun, a benefactor.
"Then let's fight!" Fang Yun waved his hand and announced that the army had entered a state of war.
At the same time, let the newspapers publish this matter in large numbers, calling on the princes of the world to jointly send troops to resist the invasion of the Hu people. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the past, no matter how fierce the battle was, as long as the Huns invaded, all countries would organize people to resist together, but now, it is just a call to learn from the situation at that time. Even if it doesn't work, let them not dare to invade easily, so as not to bear the stigma! (To be continued......)
PS: Earlier, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong had become protons, and Gongsun Du had to be afraid even if he didn't surrender.
However, at this time, Hu invaded...... Gan fuck!
