Chapter 15, Huang Xu Feng Hou
At the same time that Shixun visited Sun Yan and proposed to Xi Wei that Shang Shutai should be in charge of Lantai's affairs, news finally came that the rebellion of Xu Zhong and Zhang Gang was completely quelled.
A small rebellion lasted for several months before it was decided, all because Cao Ang used his troops illegally. Moreover, Xu and Zhang captured Xingan before, and then turned to the northeast to flow, and all the strategists of the Cao family judged that they would rush into Yangzhou in order to protect the late lord Sun Quan. But who would have thought that the thieves had just entered the border of Yixian County, and Sun Quan's old general He gathered to echo, and his momentum became more and more intense.
According to the policy of "southerners return to the south, northerners return to the north", he was able to stay in Jiangdong, but he was not used by the new assassin Shi Lusu, and was also rejected by the newly rising "Wu Si surname" and other wealthy families, so he lived in seclusion in She County. Hearing that Xu Zhong and Zhang Gang had rebelled, He Gongmiao summoned more than 300 people from the old department to go to Xianghe.
Xu and Zhang immediately supported He Qi, and He Gongmiao knew that Lu Su was not easy to provoke, so he strongly persuaded the two thieves to stop going east, turn around and return to Yuzhang, first in Poyang again, and then rushed to the south of the city. Cao Ang was slow to move before he arrived in Linru, but he was rushed south by the rebels from under his nose, and he could only break through his rear team of more than 1,000 people.
Cao Ang is really anxious at this time - you must know that the southern part of Hongzhou and Minzhou are densely hilly, and there are many mountains and barbarians, if this really allows the rebels to jump into the mountains and then collude with Shanyue, I am afraid that they may not be able to calm down in a year or two. While catching up, he sent people to Yangzhou to ask Lu Zijing to send troops to help.
But Lu Su didn't dare to send troops - just kidding. You are the military governor of Jing, Xiang, and Hong. But I can't control Yangzhou. And before the thieves have entered, how can I move across the border? But Cao Ang is Cao Cao's eldest son after all, and he wrote a letter asking for help earnestly, but Lu Zijing couldn't refuse, and looked around at the group at the moment: "The eldest son failed to break the thief, but he was an incompetent person in his army, who wants to go to assist?" ”
A young man stepped forward and arched his hand, "I want to go." In order to solve the difficulties of the king, the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
Lu Su fixed his eyes and was immediately overjoyed: "If you have to go to Boyan, it is expected that the chaos will not be peaceful." ”
Lu Yiben was an important liaison between Xun and the "four surnames of Wu", and Cao Cao once promised that if he won the peace of Wu, he would be rewarded with a county of Huiji. But who would have thought that Sun Quan was finally forced to surrender and was still able to retain the post of Huiji Taishou, so Lu Su discussed with Lu Yi and said that Your Excellency is the Huiji Juncheng. How about the actual county affairs? Anyway, Sun Zhongmou was demoted. After all, it is impossible to give him full power of a county.
Lu Yi has not changed his name to Lu Xun at this time, but the virtue of humility seems to have already penetrated into the bone marrow, and he waved his hand and said: "Before the meeting, I contacted the public to determine Jiangdong, for the country, not for personal planning." Accept the good intentions of the king, but when it comes to knowledge and governance, the minister is not as good as his uncle, please let it. ”
The "uncle" mentioned by Lu Yi is Lu Ji Lu Gongji, the son of Lu Kang, the former Lujiang Taishou Lu Kang, who is actually four years younger than his nephew Lu Xun. I think that when Lu Kang died, Lu Ji was only eight years old, nominally inherited the position of the head of the Lu family, but in fact he was a small child and didn't understand anything, so the twelve-year-old Lu Yi stepped forward and was his uncle's "Gang Ji Portal". As a result, Lu Xun and "Wu Si surname" went back and forth, because he was young, he was just familiar everywhere, Lu Ji studied behind closed doors, but he became famous because of this, and Gu Yongzi Gu Shao (who is also Lu Ji's nephew) are equally famous, Lu Xun, Zhang Dun, Bu Jing and other generations are the same.
- There is no way, the family of scholars is based on scriptures, no matter how great their ability is, it is not as good as reading books, and as for whether reading dead books can really benefit the country and society, then God knows.
However, in the bag, it will inevitably stand out, Lu Yi is in Yangzhou, although his name is not as prosperous as Lu Ji, but he first has to be Xun Qingyan, and then he is deeply respected by Lu Su because of the matter of making officials. So Lu Zijing agreed, invited Lu Ji to be the county leader, and at the same time recruited Lu Yi to enter the curtain as his mentor and friend.
This time Cao Ang was blind, Lu Su wanted to send someone to help, Lu Boyan was happy to see the hunt, and he went out in shift, so he recommended himself. Lu Su was overjoyed and said: "If you have to go to Boyan, it is expected that the chaos will not be peaceful." So he subsidized money and grain, so that Lu Yi raised 600 mountain people in the south of Huiji County, and marched west to aid Cao Ang - this is a volunteer army, not my Yangzhou officers and soldiers, and sending it to help you does not violate the law of the country, but also takes into account human feelings, and this is a good strategy for both.
Lu Yi crossed the Xianxia Ridge into Hongzhou and joined Cao Ang. Cao Ang asked him about his plan to break the thief, and Lu Yi said, even if you bring thousands of troops and horses from Jingzhou and Xiangzhou, it will not help, it is better to Chen Bing Linru and wait to see me break the thief. Why? Because the southern part of Hongzhou and the Minzhou region, the roads are narrow and the mountains are dangerous, and the winds are different for hundreds of miles, whether it is the Han people in the flat land or the Yue people in the mountains, they are very repulsive to foreign populations, and when the Jingxiang soldiers come, not only are they not familiar with the people and land, but they may even be regarded as invaders, and they are guarded against and pitted everywhere. In addition, the mountainous terrain is not suitable for the mobility of large corps, and the more troops you bring, the greater the attrition, but it is difficult to reap the fruits of victory.
Of course, it's not that Gongzi, the military governor of Jing, Hunan and Hongzhou is virtual, and there is no use for eggs, as the rear of Jingzhou and Xiangzhou, in addition to manpower, there is indeed one thing that can come in handy in the war, because this thing has no geographical division, and it is common all over the world - this is Money!
If you send me some supplies, I will recruit the natives as soldiers in the local area on the basis of these 600 soldiers, and use them to fight them, and I will be able to do my best.
In terms of military affairs, Cao Ang is a second sword, but he is convinced that his sister-in-law is Xun is very capable of fighting (theoretically, this is a misunderstanding), but Xun once vigorously advocated Lu Su's ability to fight in front of Cao Cao, and Lu Su praised Lu Yi in his letter - Cao Zixiu has a great advantage, that is, he respects talents and dares to let go, so he listened to Lu Yi's advice and gave it the right to be arbitrary.
Lu Yi immediately counted the household registration between Linru and Nancheng, recruited troops, and soon won 3,000 soldiers. He first used these more than 3,000 people to attack Youtu and other bandits, one was to train the troops, and the other was to prevent them from merging with the rebels. In October, feeling that the time was ripe, he finally asked Cao Ang to lead a large army to put pressure from the north, but he circled to the southeast and launched a swift attack on the rebels entrenched in the southern city. Three battles before and after. In the end, Xu Zhong and Zhang Gang died in battle. He Qi committed suicide in defeat. Chaos is peaceful.
On the one hand, Cao Ang disbanded the soldiers and horses he had gathered, sent people to return to Anyi quickly, and at the same time recommended Lu Yi to be the county guard of Linchuan - anyway, this place is pacified by you, and you have the hearts of the people, so simply let you govern it, and it is estimated that someone else may not be able to do it.
It is Xun who got the news of quelling the rebellion, and it is estimated that he was earlier than Cao Cao, and when he heard the news, he couldn't help but fall into contemplation - the dispute between the sons of the Cao family to seek heirs. It is estimated that there will be a new climax. At the beginning, Cao Ang was released, although it instigated the princes to covet the throne of the prince, but in a sense, it was equivalent to putting the matter on hold for the time being, and now that the chaos is settled, Cao Ang may soon return to Anyi, and how will Cao Cao arrange him at that time?
After all, he is nominally equivalent to the eldest son, and he is the former prince of the world, and it is impossible to be placed by Cao Cao's side for a long time, but he is not in the right position - that is not to tell the world obviously. Didn't Cao Cao intend to make him his heir?
The rebellion of Xu Zhong and Zhang Gang was quite ugly. This is also visible to everyone, especially the contrast - the son of Cao Cao, who was also ordered to quell the rebellion, and Cao Ziwen, a Guangyan Chang Cao Zhang. Thinking that on the same day, Hukoushan Coal Mine Hu Gong rioted and rushed into Shuozhou, Cao Cao even though Cao Zhang's Xiahou Lan led the army to beg for it, but Cao Ziwen divided it by two in three times, and it took less than a month to play Kai, slaughter the rebel Hu, and more than 1,000 heads were pickled and transported to Anyi. Cao Cao was overjoyed, and even made an exception to start the Son of Heaven, and asked Cao Zhang to be the marquis of Guan Nei with his military exploits.
This move did break through the glasses of many people - Mrs. Bian's third son, it is generally believed that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are the most powerful contenders for the heir, although Cao Zhang is the third man, but not only succumb to his brother, but not before his brother. However, as a result, he became the first person in the second generation of the Cao family to be a marquis - even Cao Ang failed to get a title, without him, the knight was rewarded for his merits, and Cao Ang had almost no military merits - the call was instantly bullish.
Shi Xun asked Guan Jing's opinion on this matter, Guan Shiqi smiled faintly, and replied: "If the king of Wei is the emperor, the son of Ziwen will also get the heir." However, when the king of Wei saw it, he seized the world and made a sword into a plowshare, so what was the use of Hou? "Unless Cao Cao hangs up immediately, when the world is calm, he will inevitably emphasize literature and ignore martial arts.
After all, this era is not the time of the alternation of the Qin and Han dynasties, Confucianism is flourishing, civil officials are popular, and then imagine the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the military nobles have to take power, the possibility is quite small. So Cao Zhang, who has military exploits, has been awarded the throne, and is supported by the generals, will his influence be greater than that of those brothers who are closer to the scholarly family or the administrative bureaucracy when the years are too peaceful? How will Cao Cao choose?
Shi Xun thought about it along this line of thought, and he felt a little brain pain, and it was estimated that Cao Cao would have more headaches than himself - forget it, who does it matter who he is, I'll do the job at hand first.
He decided to change the policy of Huaxin in the past, and make a gorgeous change to Shangshutai - it also shows his own existence to some extent.
So he played Liu Xie, saying that Shangshutai was cramped and inconvenient to work, and hoped that he could move a position, and the personnel were not uniform, and he hoped that he could be replenished as soon as possible. In addition, since Lantai is also in the ban, it is not very appropriate for Yushi Zhongcheng to be in charge, and it is best to be placed under the management of Shangshutai.
Liu Xie will play all of them - anyway, he knows that even if he opposes it, it is useless, and it is not a big deal, neither threatening his position nor losing his face. So Shi Xun toured the palace, picked a good house as the new office location of Shangshutai, and began to renovate.
The forbidden middle is commonly known as the "inner court" and "inner court", but theoretically it can be divided into two parts: inside and outside, it is the daily living place of the Son of Heaven's family, and inside and outside, it is the office of the inner court officials, and the place where the Son of Heaven summons foreign ministers. Now that the government is in Anyi, the inner and outer dynasties of Xu Capital have shrunk at the same time, and the Son of Heaven has easily not seen his courtiers except for the usual court meetings—there is nothing to do when he does—so a large number of palaces are empty. It's Xun Xin who said that this is not a waste of resources, so I can use it.
At the same time as the new Shangshutai was being repaired, he allocated a few more buildings to Lantai—the collection of books could only increase, not decrease, and I was going to stuff people into it, for fear that the old scale would not be enough.
So, where do people come from? (To be continued......)
