Grand Administrator Gongsun felt that he had performed exceptionally well!

Whether it was the impromptu brilliant words or the outstanding night battle against Zhang Bao that night, they were all extraordinary!

Even for a moment, he almost believed his lie that loyalty can be judged by the sun and the moon.

However, it doesn't matter whether Gongsun Xun believes it or not. The key is that Guo Xun actually believes it... This is of course understandable, because it can be seen from the fact that the other party blocked him in Fan Yuting before and then insisted on enforcing the law against Fan Yanglu.

Come out, this Youzhou governor should be a strong man with a strong backbone, or a very responsible and loyal man...If people are willing to believe it, then...then it will naturally be very satisfying!

You must know that although the political status of the governor and the governor are equal, and neither party is afraid of the other, when it comes to taking political risks, the governor who supervises the local area on behalf of the central government is better. Guo Xun is willing to believe in himself and is willing to do everything for himself.

Sharing political risks is naturally the best thing!

Not to mention, as the governor of Youzhou, Guo Xun has something that Gongsun Xun covets... that is the state's temporary military dispatch power... In other words, Guo Xun can really change those three thousand Youyan cavalry.

from!

Of course, even if Guo Xun expressed his willingness to share political risks and mobilize troops to him, Gongsun Xun would not be fooled into leading his troops southward to Heluo regardless of the situation... With such an action, let alone being recognized as a loyal man, I'm afraid

If Luoyang wants to leave the Yellow Turban Army alone, they must first mobilize the Three Rivers Knights to kill him!

In fact, there was no need to do this, because the so-called ten thousand soldiers in Gongsun Xun's hands were simply not capable of an expedition, and it would take time for Guo Xun, who approved of him, to mobilize his troops.

This time is enough to do many, many things.

First of all, after Zhang Bao retreated nervously, the traffic between Zhuojun and Luoyang was immediately restored. The messenger could quickly reach Luoyang via Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhao State, Weijun, and Hanoi, so Gongsun Xun and Guo Xun immediately jointly drafted a draft

He wrote a memorial, which not only reported the battle situation in Youzhou, but also proposed a simple strategic plan.

Secondly, Gongsun Xun took advantage of this time to try to attack the occupied area of ​​Guangyang County next door.

And don't mention it, with Cheng Yuanzhi dead and Zhang Bao withdrawing his troops, the Yellow Turban Army-occupied area in Guangyang almost surrendered...or it could be said that the local powerful immediately set things right after seeing the situation clearly.

But what's interesting is that after taking the southern half of Guangyang's fallen county, Gongsun Xun was shocked to find that Yuyang had been completely recovered, and the person leading the troops was none other than Gongsun Xun.

The recommended brother from the family, Yuyang Ling Gongsun Zan!

I have to say that after all, my clan brother is a capable and lucky person. When the time comes, he can always take the lead.

And just when Gongsun Xun, Gongsun Yue, Liu Bei and other old friends met Gongsun Zan in Quanzhou City, Yuyang County, the joint memorials of Gongsun Xun and Guo Xun were also sent to Luoyang.

By the way, Gongsun Xun's so-called simple strategic plan is indeed very simple, which is to quickly divide the area in the periphery in order to control the expansion momentum of the Yellow Turban Army in Hebei!

He suggested that Guo Xun mobilize the Youzhou infantry to go south immediately, use cities and counties to advance layer by layer, suppress Zhang Bao, and advance into a large number of lost areas in northern Jizhou; then Gongsun Xun led the cavalry from Shanggu, Daijun, and Yuyang,

With the help of the cavalry, he quickly went south along the Taihang Mountains and swept all the way to Hanoi to ensure that the Yellow Turban Army's power did not advance towards Bingzhou and Luoyang. This was what he meant by going south to Heluo, saving the capital at the top and saving the people at the bottom.

What do you say about this plan?

It seems to be quite organized, with synergy between foot and horse, and powerful movements. It looks like the three Zhang Jiao brothers were directly locked into a cage!

But the problem is that Gongsun Xun knows better than anyone else that even though Zhang Jiao is now conquering the city, in fact the three brothers would have been quickly put into a cage in the middle of Jizhou; moreover, the so-called advance of Guo Xun southward is basically

He was retreating after picking up Zhang Bao; as for the route Gongsun Xun took, it was now a "state-occupied area". Except for some remnants of Ma Yuanyi's troops in Hanoi who were making trouble, the rest of the place was really smooth!

Therefore, this plan is basically for Gongsun Xun to lead thousands of cavalry south quickly, show his face in front of the Central Committee, and then gain a place in the upcoming military deployment!

Otherwise? Lead three thousand cavalry to sweep away the three Zhang brothers? Or break into the Central Plains and destroy hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in the Central Plains?

His name is Gongsun Xun, not Chen Qingzhi!

So with such deceit and abduction, isn't Gongsun Xun afraid that the people in the center will find out?

What did you notice? At this time, except for Zhang Bao, who was slightly blocked by the prepared Gongsun Xun in a weak place like Youzhou, the Yellow Turban Army was still in full swing... Not to mention what Gongsun Xun said.

The first line of counties on the east side of the Taihang Mountains, the imperial court is still worried about whether Luoyang can be preserved!

And under such circumstances, the imperial court suddenly received the good news jointly sent by the governor of a state and the prefect of a county, as well as the "little strategy" they recommended themselves, and Gongsun Xun's sonorous and powerful words, "No," which can be called an example of loyalty.

Bring down the world'!

The center of the imperial court, who was half at a loss and half in a state of panic, never expected that Youzhou had already won such a big victory and stabilized the situation. Nor did he expect that there was already such a situation there.

A loyal minister and good general, regardless of personal gains and losses, he recommended himself!

As a result, the emperor was overjoyed and directly approved the plan. He also asked Gongsun Xun to go to Luo immediately after "opening" the Taihang Passage to report on the situation in Hebei and participate in the later military strategy.

Of course, there were hundreds of commanderies in the Han Dynasty, including Gongsun Xun and Guo Xun, two loyal ministers and good generals. By this time, as the center of the empire gradually woke up, Luoyang had become particularly lively, with the emperor, eunuchs, and relatives

, party members, princes, and generals... Facing the power of the Yellow Turban Army that seemed to overthrow everything, they all took action.

The actions of Grand Administrator Gongsun and Governor Guo were just an appetizer.

In fact, on the second day after the two men's memorials arrived and received a reply, the emperor made the first truly large-scale military and political move since the Yellow Turbans uprising - appointing He Jin as a general.

Feng Shenhou was granted the title of Marquis Shen, and allowed him to take charge of the left and right Yulin armies. Five battalions of soldiers were stationed in Duting, and then they repaired the equipment in the warehouse and guarded the capital! At the same time, Hangu, Taigu, Guangcheng, Yique, Fuyuan, and Xuan were set up.

Gate, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin and the Eight Pass Commanders protect Luoyang!

This appointment is enough to change everything.

"The emperor is becoming more and more impatient!"

"So what?"

"The emperor's eldest son is already a general before he reaches ten years old."

"This depends on current events. Now that the Yellow Turban Thieves are so powerful, they really need to have some reliance and plans."

"But if that's the case, the government will be in chaos again... Recently there have been some suggestions that the emperor should open up party prisons, party members, relatives, and eunuchs... It's like the wheel is turning over."

"Take one step at a time and take it one step at a time! My current thought is to put down the Yellow Turban Thieves first!"

In the evening, under the wall of the Nangong Palace, Yang Ci and Liu Kuan, both white beards and hair, walked slowly, while the attendants and officials lagged far behind. Among the two, the latter was still easy-going, but the former's facial expressions were also serious.

It no longer has the awe-inspiring atmosphere of previous years.

"Speaking of thief, the emperor asked me before who could be a general? I was still at a loss." Yang Ci sighed. "But he forgot about you as a student."

"What's the harm?" Liu Kuan said indifferently. "Now there is no need for you or me to recommend..."

Yang Ci was speechless for a moment, but he couldn't help but shake his head: "Mr. Wen Rao, I'm looking for you today because there is something in my heart that I don't know whether to ask or not."

"Why is this between you and me?" Liu Kuan stopped under the palace wall and remained calm. "Even in the past, we had to go through some twists and turns. Now that the state affairs are like this, you and I are like this, so what can we cover up?"

"

"That's fine." Yang Ci also stopped and said, "Now both the court and the central government know that they need to decide on military strategies and select generals, so I went to Dongge this afternoon to check some files, mainly to check on You Bingliang.

The current situation of the children of the aristocratic families in Dingbian County..."

"I know what you want to say." Liu Kuan rarely showed a smile. "Do you want to ask why most of the younger members of the Border County family are my disciples... right?"

Yang Ci nodded slightly: "You don't know if you don't know. You are really surprised by Wen Raogong. The four brothers of the Gongsun family of Youzhou, Wang Yi of the Wang family of Bingzhou, and Fu Xie of the Fu family of Xiliang are now showing up.

Almost all of the young generals' disciples are under the sect of Wen Raogong. The rebellion is about to be suppressed. These people are all backbone talents. For example, Gongsun Xun may still be able to take on the role. Could it be that Wen Raogong, you have already guessed the world

Is there today?"

Liu Kuan slowly shook his head: "If I had known this day, why would I be so helpless and frustrated now?"

"That is?"

"It was when I met Cao Jie that day that Wang Fu borrowed Zhang Huan's hand to kill the general Dou Wu, and I felt something about it. I also saw your deceased relative Yuan Zhouyang (Yuan Feng) taking advantage of the chaos in Yangzhou to recruit Zang Min and other military talents.

Only then did I get my mind on it, and concentrated on gathering some of the juniors from the border counties who were still weak to make plans for the future, but unexpectedly they encountered this chaos first."

Yang Ci stood stunned for a moment, but then sighed even more: "That's not bad! When you accepted these students, everyone said that you were losing your worth and that you were spreading scriptures indiscriminately... But now

It seems that you and Yuan Zhouyang are more clever."

Liu Kuan shook his head again: "In this current situation, should we feel proud of ourselves?"

Yang Ci was also speechless... In other words, they are all experienced ministers who are used to troubles. How could he, Yang Ci, not know what Liu Kuan meant?

The overall situation has been shaken!

A few days ago, the eldest Qiao Xuan was bedridden. Liu Kuan was silent these days, like a puppet. He also suddenly felt exhausted both physically and mentally and had no fighting spirit. Is it really just a coincidence?

of course not!

In fact, although the three people have completely different personalities, identities, factions, and what they want in life, they are all veterans of the Han Dynasty without exception. Their honor and disgrace are all tied to this big tree. And now,

It was precisely because of his rich political experience that he could vaguely foresee that the big tree was about to fall, but was unable to do anything about it. This made him confused and disheartened, fearing that everything before his death would be destroyed.

That's all.

In this way, the two of them continued to move forward slowly. It seemed that they could talk a lot and discuss many things, but they never said much. They just walked out of the palace gate side by side under the sunset, and then said goodbye and went home.

As soon as Yang Cifu arrived home, he found that a relative who had not been to the door for a long time was waiting for him at home!

"If you don't live in seclusion at home, how can you have time to come to me?" Yang Ci lay on a lieutenant's chair looking tired, which was in sharp contrast to Yuan Shao, who was high-spirited and energetic on the stool opposite.

You must know that Yuan Benchu ​​stayed in Luoyang and Runan for six years, and made friends with heroes from Ruying, Wanluo and other places. Then he came to Luoyang to live in seclusion, and he had a vague attitude of living up to the world's expectations. Therefore, although he is still

He has a white body, but he is worth two thousand stones, and even the prince looks up to him.

So, there is no need to say much about the heroic spirit in his eyebrows.

"Mr. Yang!" Yuan Shao saluted respectfully, without any disrespect at all, but he was full of energy as soon as he opened his mouth. "The time has come!"

"What time?" Yang Ci asked casually, obviously not paying attention.

Yuan Benchu ​​was immediately held there, but he soon adjusted his state, and then continued to act solemnly: "Mr. Yang, why do you think the Yellow Turban thief caused such trouble?"
To be continued...
