Chapter 26, the Martyr of Jiuquan

In June of this year, Cao Cao's second resignation was handed to Xu Du, and at the same time, Shi Xun took Zhou Budo and others—Guan Jing remained in Anyi to continue to collect and manage intelligence for him—and arrived in Liangzhou with more than ten carts of expensive dowries, and went to discuss the marriage of Cao and Lü with Lü Bu.

Shixun is a messenger sent by Cao Cao, and if the marriage is successful, he will be the big matchmaker. In order to show that this was just a marriage between ordinary bureaucrats, not a political means, Cao Cao did not give him another official of Xun and Wei, and he went purely in his personal capacity - at most it was the man's elders and relatives. However, his famous book is still crowned with the title of Han servant on his head, so everywhere he goes, the counties, county guards, orders and local wealthy families have greeted and entertained, but it is infinite scenery.

So out of the pass, through Hanyang, Longxi and arrived in Jincheng, Yan Xing Yan Yanming was ordered by Yang Fu, the Taishou of Jincheng, and led the army to meet the border. Yan Xing said that the rebellion of Lu Yan has not yet been settled, and now it is not even safe near Lingju, the capital of Liangguo, so he led his troops to come and escort Shixun to see Lu Bu.

Shi Xun asked about the turmoil in Liangzhou, and Yan Xing explained in detail. There are five rebel forces, one is Zhangye Zhang Jin, the second is Jiuquan Huanghua, the third is Wuwei Yan Jun, the fourth is Jincheng Koji, and there are three kinds of Hu in Wuwei County. To say that the number of chaotic soldiers is actually not very large, each of them is less than 3,000, even if it is twisted into a rope, it is less than 10,000, how can it be the opponent of the Liang Army in a hundred battles? The problem is that these guys are all local snakes, and they have been assisted and protected by local officials, and they have started a guerrilla war with the Liang army on the vast Xiliang Plain, so it has only dragged on for several months. None of them have been completely calmed down.

Lü Bu assigned various generals, among which Zhang Liao successfully slaughtered the three kinds of Hu, and Gao Shun set up an ambush to kill Yan Jun. But then he and Luan led Yan Jun and the rest of the troops to rise again. As for Wei Xu's suppression of Huang Hua and Hou Cheng's suppression of Koji's performance, there is no good news yet.

To say that Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, etc., although they are also Liangzhou clans, their bases are in Hanyang, Longxi and other places in the south, and their influence in the northern counties of Liangzhou is quite limited, so they are not of much use in the rebellion.

Shi Xun asked, "Where is General Lu?" ”

Yan Xing replied that Lü Bu had previously led his army north. I wanted to go to the Pingxi Regions through Dunhuang, but as soon as I got to the place, the counties were in chaos. And it is equivalent to cutting off his connection with the national capital Lingju. At first, Lu Bu only thought it was a plague of ringworm and scabies, and he didn't bother to move again, so he dispatched the generals to quell the chaos, so he is still in Dunhuang at present.

No way. It was Xun Xin who said that I had run far enough this time. I guess when I see Lu Bu, Cao Cao's side should be ready to receive the Zen platform......

There was no way, so he had to follow Yan Xing to Lingju first, and after Jiang Xu's introduction, he visited Lu Bu's wife Wei. Wei met with Shi Xun through the screen, and it was Xun Dao who came to understand, Wei said: "If you have the son of Wei as your son-in-law, you will not live up to my daughter." But I will die as a woman. It should also be decided by Liang Gong. So Shi Xun rested in Lingju City for two days and had a secret conversation with Jiang Xu and others. Jiang Xu made it clear that as long as Lü Bu left Liangzhou and the King of Wei sent an envoy to Shanglong, he could smoothly receive the land in their hands—at least the four counties of Beidi, Anding, Hanyang, and Longxi, which were not owned by Liangguo, could be passed on.

Shi Xun then set off and continued north, heading to Dunhuang under the escort of Yan Xing's 300 cavalry. On the way, he also encountered a chaotic army, but fortunately, Yan Yanming's army was able to rule the law and use the troops effectively, but there was only no danger. More than ten days later, he arrived at Wuwei County to govern Guzang, and the guard general Gao Shun went out of the city to greet him, claiming that he had besieged Heluan Tuantuan in the north of Cangsong County, and he could be wiped out in a few days.

Most of the generals under Lu Bu are brave men, and there are few records in the history books, and the legendary evaluation is not high, only Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are different. Needless to say, Zhang Wenyuan was demoted to a general in the original history, and Xiaoyaojin was famous in the first battle of Jianghuai; As for Gao Shun, it is recorded in the history books: "Shun is innocent and majestic, does not drink alcohol, and is not left behind." There are more than 700 soldiers, numbered 1,000 people, and the armor and fighting equipment are all refined and neat, and each attack is invincible, which is called the trapping camp...... Bu knows that he is loyal, but he can't use it...... Wei Xu has relatives inside and outside, and he will continue to seize the generals of Shun. and when the attack, so the general Shun continued to lead the troops, and Shun also had no hatred in the end. ”

That is to say, this person is not only a fierce general, but also loyal and diligent, even if he is wronged, he has no complaints, and he is a very good person. Yes Xun actually covets this, the second general of the high school, but Zhang Liao is still it, according to the description in the history books, it is estimated that Gao Shun's character will not be able to win over - even if Lu Bu dies, he will be martyred nine out of nine.

After leaving Wuwei, he turned to the northwest and arrived in Zhangye County in a few days, and Zhang Liao welcomed him. According to Zhang Liao, because Wei continued to conquer Jiuquan Huanghua was unfavorable, Lu Bu personally led the troops to leave Dunhuang and return to Jiuquan, and is currently garrisoning in Biaoshi County at the junction of Jiuquan and Zhangye - you are lucky to be in Lingju to see my Lianggong, you can walk one-third less.

Shi Xun said goodbye to Zhang Liao, hurriedly went on the road, and the next day he arrived at the junction of the two counties, and suddenly saw more than ten horsemen galloping over, and the first person shouted: "Is the person who comes to be Ling Junye?" Yes Xun happened to be tired of sitting in the car, so he changed his horse to ride, and saw that the opposite side was playing the banner of Liangguo, so he immediately greeted: "I am Xun, but I have resigned, and there is no 'Lingjun' to call it." ”

Looking at the approach, the man stopped his subordinates, jumped off the horse and saluted to Shixun: "The last general, Pang Yu, meet you...... Public. Shi Xun also jumped off the horse, and when he heard this, his eyebrows furrowed: "Is it not the cousin's Pang Ziyiye?" ”

Pang Shu's characters are different, and he is also a person who has been passed down in history books. He once served as Liangzhou, and later served as the chief of Poqiang, after Wuwei Taishou Zhang attacked and assassinated Shi Handan Shang, Pang Yu went to cry and mourn, and carried a dagger, trying to assassinate Zhang Meng, Zhang Meng felt his loyalty and refused to kill. Later, Jiuquan Taishou Xu Yi asked for the main book, the county man Huang Ang (I don't know what it has to do with Huang Hua at this time) rebelled, surrounded the county town, Pang Yu sneaked out of the city, and asked for help from Zhangye and Dunhuang two counties. It's a pity that the reinforcements came one step late, the city was still breached, and Xu Yi was killed, so Pang Yu collected the body of the lord, sent it back to the county, and mourned for it for three years.

When Cao Cao heard about this, he was also deeply moved by Pang Yu's loyalty, and immediately called him as Peng's subordinate; Cao Pi called the emperor and queen to worship as the captain of the horse (the horse at this time has nothing to do with the princess), moved to the West Sea Taishou, and finally became the doctor of Zhongsan.

Of course, in this timeline, Zhang Meng's killing of Handan Shang was in Guanzhong, and even if Pang Yu, a native of Liangzhou, heard about it, he didn't have time to run thousands of miles to mourn and assassinate Zhang Meng. Then he did not lose his official position as the chief of the Qiang, he did not enter Xu Yi's curtain, and when Huang Ang rebelled, he did not go out of the city to ask for help, and it was impossible to go to Xu Yi's funeral afterwards...... All in all, history was changed by the flapping of the wings of the little butterfly, and Pang Miao avoided all the hardships in his life and almost lost all the opportunities to become famous......

But it doesn't matter, it's Xun who remembers Pang Shu, and it really has little to do with his resume in history, but mainly because he has a strong enough old lady. According to the records of "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" and Huangfu Mi's "Biography of the Daughters", Pang Yu's mother is named Zhao Eqin, who is the daughter of Zhao Junan (estimated to be based on words) in Lufu County, Jiuquan County. Zhao Junan was killed by Li Shou in the same county, and his three sons also died of illness soon after, Li Shou was very happy and said: "The Zhao family is strong, only the women are weak, how can they be worried!" Who would have thought that Zhao E's relatives would "wield a car with a hidden sword, and stabbed (Zhao) Shou in front of the capital pavilion during the day", and avenged his father's revenge.

Public opinion in the Han Dynasty encouraged blood relatives to take revenge, so Zhao Eqin was not only supported by local scholars (the county magistrate Yin Jia would rather lose her official position than let her go), but also received praise from Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zhou Hong, Jiuquan Taishou Liu Ban and others, published a stone monument, and praised her as a martyr.

What a mother really has a son......

Let's say that Pang Shu visited Shi Xun, and Shi Xun hurriedly asked: "Is it not the cousin Pang Ziyiye?" "Pang Yu said that I am, now I am the general of the Liang Gong Account, and I was ordered to come to meet the Gong. Yan Xing next to him sounded very strange, so he asked, "Is it because Gong Zeng has a relationship with Pang Ziyi?" "That's right, his mother is quite famous, at least in this Liangzhou, everyone knows it, no one knows it, but this doesn't mean that Pang Yu is also very famous, even I only know that he has been favored by Lu Bu recently, I haven't seen him, let alone his words, why are you Xun Cai to Jiuquan, you can break it in one bite?

Shi Xun smiled "hehe" and whispered to Yan Xing: "Pang Ziyi, Jiang Ziyi's friend." ”

Yan Xing was originally a spy planted by the Cao family in Liangzhou, so for Jiang Gan, who was also a spy, although they had one-way contact and no intersection in secret work, they still knew the true identity of the other party. Therefore, as soon as Shang Shixun said this, Yan Xing understood, oh, this is the offline line of Jiang Gan's new development; When Pang Yu heard this, he glanced at Yan Xing, and immediately realized that he was his own person.

Immediately, Shi Xun asked Pang Yu in a low voice: "Is it possible to see Ziyi?" Pang Yu nodded: "It's okay to come and go." "Yes Xun said okay, I'm tired from my journey today, and I don't plan to meet Liang Gong. As he spoke, he quietly reached into his arms, took out a piece of pre-written writing paper and handed it to Pang Yu - "It can be passed on to Ziyi, so that the first and Liang Gong will talk about it." ”

He really didn't know whether he could persuade Lu Bu, so he had already planned to blow the wind to Lu Bu through Jiang Gan first - didn't Jiang Ziyi boast many times in the secret book, saying that Lu Bu trusted him and obeyed his words? If he says it first, it may be more effective than my direct lobbying.

Pang Shu understood, quickly took it with both hands, put it in his arms, and then led Shi Xun, Yan Xing and others into the Cousin City and arranged to stay. He went to report to Lu Bu and said that I had already taken the person, but the public said that he was tired from the journey and was waiting to be washed, and he hoped that he could rest for a good night first, and then come to visit Liang Gong tomorrow. Lu Bu waved his hand and said I know, you go down first.

Soon after Pang Yu left, Lu Bu was about to wash and sleep as well, when he came to the door to report: "Mr. Jiang asks to see him." Lu Bu immediately sat upright and invited Jiang Gan to enter. After Jiang Gan sat down, he asked straight to the point: "Does the lord know that Hongfu is coming to my country today, what is the matter?" ”

Lu Bu said that I heard that the Cao family wanted to marry me-"I'm waiting to ask Ziyi, can you allow it?" Jiang Gan waved his hand: "No." (To be continued......)
