Chapter Twelve Why Do You Want to Fight(2/2)
"Okay." Zhao Zhong said impatiently. "If you have nothing else to do, you quickly go to our Huangmen Prison and cut out Xiang Xu's tongue first, then beat him to death with a stick... Hurry!
"
Zhonghuangmen nodded slightly, turned around and quickly went to do it without saying a word, while Zhao Zhong also continued to turn around and head towards the West Garden.
"Why is this?" Zhang Rang followed but didn't know why. "I still want to take care of this foul-mouthed madman!"
"Gongsun Xun has a memorial today, saying that Xiang Xu was the Prime Minister of Zhao when he was the governor of Handan, and his kindness and kindness will be unforgettable... so he is willing to use his own merits to offset the other's sins." Zhao Zhong said casually. "Just in case."
"That's it." Zhang Rang suddenly realized, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
The summer heat was unbearable. On the way from the North Palace to the West Garden, two gray-haired waiters cast a long shadow in the sunlight.
"You actually asked me to go back to deal with Zhang Bao?" A few days later in Yangzhai, in the empty hall of the county temple, Gongsun Xun was confused for a moment after receiving the order. "Shouldn't I be asked to go to Guangzong to help in the battle?"
"Return to the Marquis of Liangxiang." Xiaohuangmen who came to convey the decree immediately smiled and said. "It is said that the governor Guo Xun and Guo repeatedly captured Quyang and failed to defeat him, and he was unable to command Julu Guo. Grandmaster Zhang of Zhongshan was suitable. The two two thousand stone
There are complaints... Therefore, the imperial court intends to ask you to take his place. As for Guangzong, the central government intends to let Cao Cao, the Cavalry Commander, lead the troops to assist Beizhonglang General Lu Gong."
Gongsun Xun, who had transformed into a Liangxiang Marquis, glanced at Xiao Huangmen, who was smiling with a hint of fear in his eyes, and suddenly felt something in his heart... The appointment of the Central Committee was well-founded, and I was afraid that he really had nothing to say.
It was natural for a group of knights from Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Hanoi to return to northern Hebei to fight with him, and it seemed a reasonable arrangement for Cao Cao to lead the newly acquired infantry from Dongjun to support Lu Zhi, who was not far from Dongjun.
And besides, given the current situation, if the central government dispatches you to fight somewhere, can you still refuse? And to be fair, although Guangzong is the main battlefield, it doesn't seem to be a good place to go.
"Where are Duke Huangfu and Duke Zhu?" After a long pause, Gongsun Xun put down these random thoughts for the time being and asked seriously again.
"Huangfu Gong granted him the title of Marquis of Duxiang and went to Chen State and Runan to conquer Peng Tuo's bandit tribe." Xiaohuangmen quickly replied seriously. "Gong Zhu made him the Marquis of Xixiang and went to Wancheng in Nanyang... Yingchuan is now at peace.
, you all have somewhere to go.”
"The rewards from my subordinates..." Gongsun Xun paused and continued to ask.
"The emperor has praised all three generals very much, and all three have agreed to their requests." Xiao Huangmen said impatiently again. "This time, the appointments of the two Bi Qianshi you invited have also been approved. I don't know.
…”
"You go and talk to Liu Xuande yourself." Gongsun Xun stretched out his hand and said, "The other one is about to branch off. I will deal with him personally."
"It makes sense." Xiao Huangmen did not dare to neglect, and the attendant behind him immediately held up a box containing a seal, ribbon, and documents. "The Marquis of Liangxiang will do it for himself. If there is nothing else..."
"Go!" Gongsun Xun had no intention of showing off to Xiao Huangmen with such an attitude, and directly waved his hand.
Xiaohuangmen, as if he had received an amnesty, immediately took the people away in a hurry, preparing to go elsewhere to announce the decree.
However, at this moment, Gongsun Xun, who had just put the box on the table, suddenly remembered something, and then turned around suddenly: "Just stay here, how did Xiang Xu deal with it? I once wrote a letter asking for my own merits to repay the other's sins.
, but now I have been promoted to the title of Marquis of Liangxiang... If I remember correctly, this Liangxiang should be the first township under the jurisdiction of Ji County, Guangyang County, which is governed by Youzhou Prefecture. With such a prominent reward, what will happen to Mr. Xiang?"
Xiao Huangmen's forehead was covered with sweat, and he could only try his best to babble: "Actually, Huangfu Gong's capital is also the capital of Huaili County, the capital of Youfufeng; Zhu Gong's Xixiang is also the capital of Liyang, where the Yangzhou Governor's Department is located...
…They are all equally distinguished.”
"Dead?" Gongsun Xun asked coldly after the other party finished speaking.
"He died in prison before the general sent the memorial to Luozhong." Xiao Huangmen said helplessly.
Gongsun Xun continued to sneer.
When Xiaohuangmen saw this, they didn't dare to wait any longer and fled in a hurry.
Now that Xiaohuangmen has gone out, Lu Fan, Lou Gui, Xi Zhong, Han Dang and other private ministers swarmed in. They heard clearly from outside just now that Gongsun Xun was promoted to Liangxiang Marquis. In any case, this is a good thing. Naturally
Come to congratulate me.
Gongsun Xun didn't take this seriously... The rewards for a high-ranking official like him will definitely come after the war subsides. The so-called increase in title is a great thing in the eyes of others, but in his eyes
But it is just a political signal that things are still under control and has no other meaning.
As for Xiang Xu's death...how should I put it? Gongsun Xun was neither happy nor sad, nor was he at all melancholy. After all, great chaos had already occurred, and such a person would not live long. The only thing was that he was ruthless towards eunuchs.
I gained a clearer understanding... It seems like no one knows about the trick of receiving orders through the front door and killing people through the back door?
Therefore, Gongsun Xun just ignored the matter in a hurry, and then told a few private ministers where he was going. He asked Han Dang to fetch something, but he also asked Lou Gui to call someone.
"Zhicai." Seeing the two of them going out, Gongsun Xun looked at Xi Zhicai with interest. "Do you know who I want Uncle Zi to call?"
The actor thought for a moment, then simply said: "Reporting to the emperor, I think this person's surname may be Li or Le."
Gongsun Xun and Lu Fan looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"Zhicai is indeed smart." Lu Fan sighed sincerely. "I guessed it right."
Lou Gui's absence made it rare for Xi Zhong to feel proud for a while. Therefore, he rolled his eyes and couldn't help but say something more: "Your Majesty, the so-called equal emphasis on kindness and power, I have an idea..."
Gongsun Xun became more and more interested.
After a while, Han Dang brought a box from the backyard, and after a while, a report came from the front of the hall, saying that the village chief Li Jin was accompanying Lou Gui to see him.
Yes, since Li Jin was drafted in the battle of Weixiang, he has led three thousand soldiers in two big battles and several small battles, without losing any of them. He has suffered hundreds of casualties, which is really hard work... But this guy has been there until
Now he is just a village leader! Three thousand disciples can only receive the military pay of a hundred people!
Not only that, the Jiyin Li family was also treated like a bloodbath. Three thousand soldiers moved to two places, and they provided weapons, food and grass themselves. Even when they were in Dongjun, the entire army had to support them hard when they fought in Henan.
, and act as eyes and ears.
And all of this was done by Gongsun Xun, a general named Zhijie Zhonglang who was born in a border county!
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Li Jin and Li Chuzhi would never want to come to see Gongsun Xun.
"Li Tuizhi." Gongsun Xun saw the other party prostrating himself on the ground, but remained indifferent. "I want to tell you good news... The emperor has just issued an order, asking me to lead the cavalry in the army to Quyang under the northern line of Jizhou to deal with Zhang Bao.
You infantrymen recruited by Dongjun are all under the control of Brother Mengde, the Cavalry Commander. It is said that you are going to Guangzong to fight Zhang Jiao."
Li Jin felt a sudden joy in his heart, and his hands on the ground almost trembled... Will he and the three thousand Li soldiers finally break free from the clutches of this man in the hall? As long as he doesn't follow this man, life will be much easier in the future.
Bar?
"But there is also some bad news." Gongsun Xun spoke condescendingly and slowly. "Since you have left me, with your powerful background, I am afraid that your career will be interrupted. I originally wanted to take you to fight in all directions, and finally give me
A person in your family has a future of two thousand dan, but unexpectedly we are separated halfway...Don't worry about me in the future, after all, there are very few people like me who employ people regardless of their background."
Even though Li Jin didn't want to look at Gongsun Xun's face, he couldn't help but raise his head inexplicably at this time.
"Give it to him!" Gongsun Xun gestured with his lips slightly pursed.
Immediately, Han Dang and Lou Gui each came forward holding a box.
Among them, Han Yigong was the first to put down the box in his hand and opened it to see a set of seals, ribbons and documents.
"This is the six-hundred-stone military marquis status that my prince applied to the court for you, Li Tuizhi, after the Battle of Dongjun." Lu Fan said with his hands beside him. "Don't be surprised, my prince is definitely not a hard worker.
Those who don’t reward me are just because you, the Li family, are too arrogant. If you are repeatedly promoted in the army, some people may be dissatisfied... Therefore, you will always be by your side."
At this point, before Li Jin could react, Lou Gui put down the box in his hand and opened it, then stood up and sneered: "This is after the First World War in Changshe, the king hired Sima Yinshou of the Thousand Stones Department for you.
...Originally, I was planning to stay by my side temporarily, but now that we are going to be separated, it doesn’t matter anymore.”
Li Jin stared at the two seals on the ground in front of him. He had mixed feelings for a moment. Even he himself couldn't figure out what he was feeling at this time. But after a long while of silence, he finally slowly leaned down again and bowed to the ground: "
The kindness of the king will never be forgotten."
As soon as he finished speaking and before he could react, Li Jin felt a sudden weight behind him on the ground. Looking back, he saw that there were four or five Yi Cong standing nearby holding him down from behind! Without waiting for Li Jin to retreat,
I wanted to understand what was going on, or whether I should resist... Han Dangfu came over again, and actually grabbed the man's hair, pulled his head up, and exposed his neck.
At this time, Gongsun Xun, who was sitting in the hall without saying a word, walked straight down, and then actually pulled out his famous broken blade.
Li Jin on the ground was panicked and trembling all over... He couldn't help reacting like this to such a sudden situation.
However, Gongsun Xun came with a knife, smiled and made a gesture on the opponent's neck, then suddenly swung the knife, only cutting off the man's hair, and then put the knife away and returned to his seat.
Yi Cong let go of his hand, and everyone in the hall sneered. At this time, only Lou Gui and Li Jin were a little confused in the whole hall.
"Of course you will be rewarded for meritorious service, but you have been slandering the prince among your family's soldiers all day long. Do you think the prince doesn't know about it?!" Xi Zhong shouted proudly from the side. "But the war is not over yet, and the country still wants to use you.
For now, cut off your hair and take over! Get out of here!"
Li Jin's mind went blank. He could only hug the box with the Thousand Stone Seal and Ribbon, and run away with his hair disheveled.
Lou Zibo became more and more confused.

"With the rise of the Yellow Turbans in the Later Han Dynasty, the world was in panic, party chains were loosened, and many scholars and eunuchs were incompatible with each other. Wang Yun, the governor of Yuzhou, heard that Zhang Rang's family was in Yingchuan, and there were many thieves in Yingchuan. He thought that the two were connected, so he searched
The Yellow Turbans sent people to surrender in order to obtain letters, but they repeatedly failed. Kong Rong was working for the state, so he conspired with Yan Zhong, a counselor in the Zuo Zhonglang Huangfu Song Dynasty, to forge a letter and offer it to the surrendered soldiers. Xun Shuang, who was not riding in the state, secretly inspected it.
Because he is an eunuch and has no moral principles, he refuses to promote him, and because he thinks he is an official and does not promote him, he feels ashamed, so he hangs his seal and returns to his hometown in order to seek peace of mind." - "Shishuo Xinyu", "Explanation of Techniques" Chapter
