Chapter 19 Turning Back(2/2)
"Then let's leave now and go to the Dafu Lingjiu Temple?"
"Let's go!" Gongsun Xun seemed a little disinterested and lacked interest.
But no matter what, the wife took the car, the husband rode the horse, followed on the left and right, and the family members escorted them, but they still left the city and walked upstream along the Hutuo River...According to what Han Dang said, there was no need to cross the river, just a short walk
Ten miles away, when you reach the mountain where the Hutuo River originates, you can turn directly into the core of Mount Wutai.
"The terrain is quite dangerous." After a long journey, Gongsun Xun finally arrived at the source of the Hutuo River in the afternoon. "It can be called the gateway to the east of Yanmen."
"Young Master is right," Han Dang said, pointing to the mountain peak in front of him. "After guarding the mountain, we will reach Daijun, and then there will be the Feihu Trail leading to Jizhou. If we station a camp here, we will be able to stand down from a high position.
, and there is no shortage of water, I am afraid that whether you enter Yanmen from Daijun or Yanmen to Daijun, you will be unable to move..."
"No wonder it's called Guards Mountain!" Zhao Yun was still young after all. After hearing the conversation, she couldn't help but lift the curtain and interrupt. "I think there must have been troops stationed here in ancient times."
"Young Madam Mingjian." Han Dang nodded and replied. "I was here the day before yesterday and asked the locals. There is indeed such a saying."
"One must have two," Gongsun Xun suddenly asked. "Is there any other way to say it?"
"Yes, Young Master." Han Dang answered, holding the reins of the horse. "Some people also say that during our Han dynasty, when the soldiers in the Hebei area went to the border areas to garrison, they mostly passed the Feihu Trail first, and then at the foot of this mountain.
Carry out separate dispatches at intersections... In the former Han Dynasty, if they were sent to Bingzhou to fight against the Xiongnu, they would cry loudly; if they were sent to Youzhou to guard the Great Wall, they would cry with joy; later on, the Qiang rebellion in this dynasty changed. If they were sent to Liangzhou
When they fought against the Qiang people, they cried loudly, but when they went to Bingzhou to defend the Great Wall, they cried with joy. Now, in the past ten years, the Qiang people have gradually calmed down, but the Xianbei people have risen again, so they have changed again... But
No matter what, over time, the local people called this mountain Guards Mountain."
As soon as these words came out, both Zhao Yun and Gongsun Xun fell silent, and no one responded for a while.
"Young Master." Han Dang seemed to know that what he said was inappropriate, so he quickly changed the subject. "Let's go quickly. From Guard Mountain to the south, you can enter Wutai Mountain and see the Dafu Lingjiu Temple!"
"No need!" Gongsun Xun shook his head and responded, turning the horse's head directly. "Guardian Mountain is here, so how can Wutai Mountain be a peaceful place? Let's turn back!"
Han Dang couldn't help but feel at a loss.
"It's not just what you said, Mr. Yi." Gongsun Xun saw this and quickly comforted him. "Actually, Zang Min, Xia Yu, and Tian Yan have all begun to discuss the crime in Luozhong's letter before, and I am afraid that there will be an edict asking me to enter Luo in a moment...
…Under such circumstances, wouldn’t it be a mistake to forcefully go here to worship the Buddha? In that case, it’s better to turn back as soon as possible and wait in Pingcheng with peace of mind.”
Han Dang breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Mrs. Gongsun, although she was a little disappointed, she didn't say anything after all.
And sure enough, it took only seven or eight days to return during this trip. In early October, Gongsun Xun met the envoy from Luozhong in the camp north of Pingcheng... The edict was to remove Gongsun Xun as the middle man and add a thousand stones for his special merits.
, the title of Duke!
Of course, except for the word Zhonglang, basically no one cares about the following things in today's world, let alone Gongsun Xun.
In contrast, there was only one other thing that he really cared about, which was that the Shangshutai and the Taiwei Mansion also jointly used seals and issued documents, using Cheng Pu as a fake Sima to act on behalf of the Pingcheng branch.
In other words, it was finally done!
Therefore, after receiving the edict, everyone in the camp naturally came to congratulate Gongsun Xun first, and then congratulated Cheng Pu. Naturally, Cheng Pu also bowed down with emotion and thanked Gongsun Xun for his kindness with a big gift.
Everything went well, or at least as expected, so Gongsun Xun, who had been prepared for it, was neither happy nor sad. After helping Cheng Pu up and giving some kind words to comfort him, he sat down in the camp and chatted with the captain.
The envoy from the government talked about the situation in Luozhong:
"I dare to ask Brother Xian, what happened to those three people?"
The envoy knew who the three people were without asking, so he immediately replied with a smile: "Before I came, the court was still arguing about these three people. Some were running to rescue, and some were writing letters begging to be killed..."
"There are still people running to rescue?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sneer. "Who is coming to rescue, and who?"
"There are more generals who saved Zang Zhonglang." Although the envoy noticed the strangeness in the other party's words, he did not pay attention to it. "Zang Zhonglang has always been famous and had a good relationship with the imperial servant Yuan Feng and Yuan Gong, so many scholars rushed to save him.
It's a crime, but Captain Xia Yu Xia saved the First and Second World War after all in this battle, and you also have Gongsun Zhonglang under your command. You have made such a contribution, so Duan Gong, the Guanglu doctor, vindicated his injustice... As for Tian Yan,
After all, accepting bribes to win generalship will result in a bad reputation, and no one will speak up for it."
"I'm afraid there's no need to say anything, right?" Gongsun Xun continued to sneer. "These three people must have equal rewards and punishments... If the other two survive, he will naturally survive."
"Mingjian of the doctor!"
"I just don't know how Mr. Yuan and Mr. Duan rescued their friends?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but continue to ask curiously.
"How can I, a subordinate of the Taiwei Mansion, know about all these methods?" The envoy couldn't help but laugh. "However, there are also some interesting things that are indeed known to the whole city..."
"oh?"
"I don't know when it started. Rumors suddenly spread in Luozhong that after Zang Gong's defeat, he had sealed up his treasury and protected his official rations. Yanmen was able to stabilize the situation. Although you have worked hard, Grand Administrator Guo and Dr. Gongsun, you cannot ignore it.
The food he left behind..." At this point, the messenger couldn't help but glance at the other party.
Gongsun Xun nodded slightly: "That's true."
"So," the envoy continued with relief. "There was a saying in Luozhong that there was a so-called 'Zang Lang General with publicity and selflessness'!"
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but smile, had all these methods been used?
"Then within a few days, someone suddenly connected this sentence with Xia Xiaowei, saying that it was his non-war crime that day. If he hadn't moved forward, Dr. Gongsun would not have burned Danhan Mountain... So someone suddenly linked the two
People collectively called him "a public-spirited and selfless general, and an unyielding Xia Xiaowei"."
"I understand, Captain Xia is destined to be the general of Zanglang!" Gongsun Xun sneered and shook his head.
"By the way, there is one more thing," the messenger continued. "Your brother Gongsun Bogui changed his clothes and went to Luoyang to serve Captain Xia. In addition, he was kidnapped by the Wuhuan people in place of Captain Xia.
He was known to Luozhong, so he has become very famous recently. In addition to the twists and turns of the case, some people named him together with Sun Jian of Wu Di, who risked his life to escort his leader Zang Gong to break out of the siege. For a time, there were also young children in Luozhong singing,
The so-called 'loyal Gongsun Zan, brave and heroic Sun Wentai'!"
Gongsun Xun was stunned and speechless for a moment, and then for some reason, two other sentences suddenly popped up in his mind. As the saying goes, "Uncle Dong Fang, a great man who is loyal and good, is as comprehensive as Governor Guo"... and when he thought about these six sentences together,
For a moment, Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing, and then he raised his head and laughed.
However, after laughing, Gongsun Xun thought of the Guardsman Mountain again, and he couldn't help but feel slightly sad... Why did this famous minister and general in Northern Xinjiang end up like this day by day?
The poem says: The general went to the palace to report an injustice, and everyone started talking about the border soldiers. If thirty thousand soldiers were killed, how could the mulberry trees in the border areas survive?
Volume 4, end.
PS: I still need to explain that I work part-time and basically come back every night to cash out the code... Occasionally if the status is not right, it will be a lot more difficult... I hope everyone can understand.
I still recommend that you don’t wait at night, it’s so embarrassing.
Chapter completed!
