Chapter Twenty-Five: The Old Climb (Part II)
Wang Yan only waited in Kaocheng for two days, and the dusty Shao Xun appeared in front of him.
The two didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the process.
"Duyamen Army, General Nanzhonglang, and Shao Xun, the Duke of Chenjun, are selfless, ambitious, sΓ©ance, and accumulated. There is the heart of Kuang Guo to help the time, and the strategy of punishing chaos and determining difficulties. In the past ten years, the division and brigade have been purged, the officials have obeyed the law, and the prestige is heavy, and it is as high as a mountain. He took Xun as the general of Xuchang and Pingdong in charge of the military towns of Yuzhou. - "Shao Xun as the General of Pingdong"
"Holding the festival, supervising the military towns of Yuzhou Xuchang, General Pingdong, and Shao Xun, the Duke of Chenjun, are both civil and military, and they know the past and the present. One drum and the murderer is demoralized, and the culprit is passed on after another battle. Chaos and violence are forbidden, and Kuang Guo has a skill. It is advisable to respect his duties, but he can be in favor of kinghood. It is based on General Pingdong and Kaifu Yi with the three divisions. - "Shao Xun's Edict"
"Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, the festival, the military towns of Yuzhou, Xuchang, Pingdong, and Shao Xun, the prince of Chenjun, have been fighting for a long time, and the royal family is hardworking. Today, I give a gold medal with a purple ribbon, a five-hour court dress, a military crown, and a mountain jade. Don't give the car six rides, optimize its muscles. Another twenty tigers were given, holding swords, full of their cronies. - "The Edict of Shao Xun's Ceremonies"
"Although the heavens and the earth are great, there is no tolerance for those who have self-exterminated. The Son of Heaven is benevolent, and those who are punished dare not forgive. Hanoi Gou Xi, robbing grain, conspiring against the edict, jackals and ugly kinds, his crimes are difficult to contain, and his feelings are difficult to forgive......" - "The Edict of the Rebellious Minister Gou Xi"
After reading out four edicts in a row, Shao Xun got up and thanked him.
Wang Yan handed over the four edicts to Shao Xun and said with a smile: "Pingdong take it." β
After Shao Xun handed it over to Cai Cheng, he pulled Wang Yan into the distance and said, "I thought that the imperial court would have to inspect it repeatedly before it could be appointed." β
"It's different, and it can be used." Wang Yan only said one sentence.
Shao Xun laughed.
He also enjoyed the treatment of celebrities, hermits, state guests, or sages (such as descendants of Confucius). And this treatment was earned by him with a knife and a gun, and there was no opportunism, he deserved it.
The first three edicts are actually the same thing, that is, he became the governor of Xuchang, but he could open the mansion and summon him, and at the same time, the pomp and circumstance were also big, and the ceremony was the same as the three dukes - no matter how many officials opened the mansion, the etiquette was regarded as the same product.
The fourth is an edict to kill Gou Xi, and about every Fang Bo will receive one. As for whether it is carried out or not, we will have to look at it again. Anyway, since a few years ago, the Fang Bo have often taken in Qin prisoners, because in a few years, it is too common for Qin prisoners to become merit and not guilty.
"I heard that Gong Chen is going to marry a bride?" Wang Yan hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Exactly." Shao Xun glanced at Lao Deng and said.
Wang Yan pursed his lips, his face complicated.
If I used to just hesitate and hesitate, now I really regret it.
Chen Gong obviously fell in love with Hui Feng, if he could agree at that time, he would find a way to persuade him, even if he begged miserably, let his daughter agree, with Chen Gong's humble official position and status at that time, what did Yu Wenjun do?
Marrying my daughter Huifeng can completely cover up his origin, and no one will mention it again. He can also take advantage of this to soar into the sky, and maybe save a year or two of time.
It's just - it's too late to say anything now.
I haven't paid attention to my face when I debate with people for most of my life, but I want to save face when I'm old, alas.
Wang Yan suppressed the churning mood and said with a smile: "On the day of the wedding, the old man has to take a leave and come to watch the ceremony. β
"If the public comes, it will add a lot of color." Shao Xun said happily.
This is not an exaggeration.
The celebrities of the same era as Lao Deng have basically withered, and he is the only one left.
In addition, he has been a high-ranking official, and his fame has become more and more famous.
The children of ordinary families are proud to get a comment from him.
If Wang Yan can come to the wedding, and the news spreads in advance, there will be a lot of scholars who come to Xuchang - Wang Yan's ability to come is actually a political statement.
"The matter of the secret edict ......" Wang Yan pondered for a while, and said: "More than ten palace people and guards were executed in the palace. β
"That's all?" Shao Xun asked.
"That's all."
"That's fine." Shao Xun said: "I'm not aggressive, so it's okay to stop here. β
Who recruited the guards? Who has the ability to recruit guards for the Son of Heaven? If this problem is dug deeper, it is estimated that it will be able to pull out big fish, and it will not end well.
Whether it is the Son of Heaven or Shao Xun, it will not end well, so it is enough to end here.
"The Huns are going to be intimate, I'm afraid it's inevitable this year." Wang Yan said again: "What is Gong Chen's good plan? β
"Actually, it's still the old way, and I can't stick to it." Shao Xun said.
"After the Xiongnu won Guanzhong, the wider the number of soldiers, will they break through Luoyang?" Wang Yan said worriedly.
"There are still more than 25,000 people in the forbidden army, right? If you levy another 10,000 or 20,000 servants from wealthy families and counties and counties, and gather an army of 40,000 or 50,000, you will be fine. Shao Xun said: "But the deep ditch is high, don't go out of the city to fight." β
Forty or fifty thousand people defended the city, at least half of them were soldiers with some war experience, plus so many craftsmen in Luoyang built equipment and guards, what price did the Huns have to pay to break the city?
They can't afford it!
Of course, all of the above is ideal. In practice, it is also complicated to consider various variables, such as the operation of the Son of Heaven and whether the food is sufficient.
But the advice he has already given, and it is a matter for the court to listen to it or not.
"Gong Chen didn't send troops to help defend Luoyang?" Wang Yan frowned and asked.
"The old things of the king of Changsha, Yin Jian is not far away." Shao Xun said: "If the imperial court is not worried about the shortage of food in Luoyang, of course I can lead the army to help." β
Wang Yan was silent for a while, and asked uneasily: "With the current troops, can you really hold Luoyang?" β
"Captain." Shao Xun smiled and said: "This year, the forbidden army also went out of the city to fight in the field and repelled Hu Yanyan." Defending the city is simpler, and you can't break it. β
Wang Yan nodded slightly.
He must listen to the professional judgment of the "professional" in order to put his mind at ease, and then carry out a series of operations based on this judgment.

He can trust Shao Xun because he can fight, and there is no need to lie to him about it.
At this stage, Luoyang being breached will do more harm than good to him, and he doesn't want to see anything happen to Luoyang.
"Chu Zhong has been playing well in Shouchun recently." Shao Xun said: "After repeatedly defeating Zhou Zuxuan, there are not a few people who join Langya, and they will be defeated." β
Sima Rui, the king of Langya, confronted Shouchun Zhou Fu, and actually sent Wang Dun to lead the army, and then won several games in a row.
Shao Xun didn't know if Zhou Fu didn't know how to fight, or if Wang Dun had grown.
"Deal with the middle - let's get a little bit." Wang Yan smiled bitterly.
He actually knew why.
Chu Zhong was only responsible for bringing the troops to Jiangbei, and then the march and battle were all in charge of the middle-level general Zuo sent by Jianye, who was old in the military formation.
If such a battle is won, what does it have to do with the middle of the situation?
"Over there in Nanyang, Governor Liang has already taken office, and Gong Chen should not touch him for the time being, lest the world look sideways." Wang Yan said again.
Shao Xun pondered for a long time and did not speak.
Wang Yan waited patiently and did not urge.
"I want to talk to Liang Gong." Shao Xun said.
Liang Fen, the old Deng, actually took office with 5,000 Liangzhou soldiers. Looking at him like that, he has a very close relationship with Beigong Chun.
After all, Anding borders Liangzhou, and it has also been assigned to Liangzhou in history.
The descendants of the great general Liang Ji are originally a first-class wealthy family, and even Zhang Liang specially visited the Liang clan on his way to office.
Shao Xun was worried that this old man raised his arms and pulled over the Liangzhou soldiers who had just been recruited for half a year.
After Liang Fen arrived in the town, he appeased thousands of Guanxi refugees who had newly entered Nanyang, and the siege of Shunyang was lifted.
He also sent a letter to Wang Ru and Yan Wei.
Wang Ru didn't reply, but Yan Wei replied.
Because of this matter, Wang Ru no longer trusted Yan Wei, and the two of them were on their own camp and guarded against each other.
With such a method, Shao Xun was also amazed.
Let him go down again, Wang Ruzhi will be pacified if he messes around.
And he didn't have time now, let alone go to Nanyang, so he decided to talk to Liang Fen.
Is the Son of Heaven really worthy of allegiance?
"What if it can't be done?" Wang Yan asked.
"Taiwei, can you let the Son of Heaven send an edict and ask Governor Liang to lead the division to King Qin?" Shao Xun said with a smile: "Actually, what I just said nonsense, defending the city may not be able to hold it, you still have to have elite soldiers and strong generals." β
Wang Yan suddenly burst out laughing.
However, he shook his head and sighed with a smile.
Maybe, maybe! If the Son of Heaven is really afraid, he will let Liang Fen lead the army to the king.
Actually, he is a little unworthy of Liang Fen.
Mingzhe has been protecting himself for so many years, but he has not resisted the pressure after all.
In this world, there is no good end for loyal ministers, they are all dead, and if they die cleanly, can Liang Fen be spared?
"The old man can help you find out the wind first." Wang Yan said: "That's all, you have to rely on yourself for the rest." β
"Thank you, Captain." Shao Xun saluted and said sincerely.
In this kind of numbering thing, there must be an intermediary to get around.
"You-" Wang Yan paused and asked, "Are you still going to Chen County?" β
"It's hard to say." Shao Xun replied: "Is there something wrong with the Taiwei? β
Wang Yan was silent for a while, and said, "Meizi is in the Chen County Governor Caoyun Branch, my daughter-"
"Huifengβuh no, Jingfeng is there?" Shao Xun was surprised.
Wang Yan looked at him deeply and nodded.
"Let's talk about it." Shao Xun said: "When we open a mansion, we have to recruit people from all over the world. The autumn harvest is imminent, and we have to rush to harvest grain. The Huns looked like they were heading south again, and they had to guard against it. β
Wang Yan was thoughtful.
The two talked for a while, and then took their leave.
Shao Xun asked his soldiers to put away the ritual weapons and put them in the general's mansion of the town army first.
He took the edict and walked into the backyard to "report" Concubine Pei.
But the opening of the mansion was summoned, and he had to consult with Concubine Pei about the candidates for the shogunate.
(In the afternoon, it will be added, and it will not be que.) οΌ
