Chapter Fourteen: The Dead Are in Promise(1/2)

Guan Yunchang was so angry that not only Cai Bozhe but also Gongsun Xun was shocked.

There was no way, it was really because this move was too un-Guan Yunchang, or too stupid. If Wei Yue jumped out, no one would care. However, just because he knew Wei Yue was a jerk and drank again, he didn't do it at all.

Is it okay not to let him go to court?

However, after Gongsun Xun thought for a moment, he suddenly realized... because he could see that Guan Yunchang's move was not so much a 'dog leg' as it was an excuse to use the topic!

It must be known that Guan Yu was arrogant but pitiful, slow and pragmatic. He always despised the "pure Confucians" and "celebrities" like Cai Yong and Liu Heng in his heart. At the banquet before, Liu Heng

, Cai Yong, Le Yin and others are on top, and he may have been tired of it for a long time. Now that Cai Yong is obviously rejecting him because of his family status, he is naturally very bored. In addition, he is somewhat macho.

, I may not take this kind of thing seriously for women.

That's why it happened.

However, Gongsun Xun seemed to have drunk too much. He only focused on understanding Guan Yu's thoughts, but completely forgot how much misunderstanding he would cause by squinting his eyes and remaining silent... For a moment, not to mention that someone stopped Guan Yu's roar.

Well, even Zhang Fei, who had already stood up and was ready to persuade him, became a little panicked and helpless after taking a look at Gongsun Xun, let alone others?

Of course, it may be Gongsun Xun who is acting willfully. After all, he was indeed angered by Cai Bozhe. Moreover, it was not only Gongsun Xun who was angered, but Gongsun Yue, the only one who could speak out to end the matter at this time.

Sitting still, like a wood carving, to be able to make a person with such thick eyebrows and big eyes look like this shows that Cai Yong really doesn't know how to praise!

"It's not a family argument." It was about his daughter. No matter how panicked, Cai Yong could only grit his teeth and hold on. "It's true that I have an appointment with Mr. Liu..."

"Liu Gong, Liu Gong, the whole Han Dynasty is caused by pure Confucianism!" After all, Guan Yu was just arrogant and rude, but he could not be said to be truly vicious, so he waved his hand and walked away.

Lu Fan saw the opportunity and winked, and many people immediately chased him out.

At this time, Gongsun Xun let out a long sigh, ignored Cai Yong beside him, and walked straight out...and directly out of his former residence and went to the public school. Since there were so many fewer students there,

, I think it should be possible to live there. And since we have already left this place so unhappy, why bother to stay?

Seeing that the hall was empty, Cai Bojie wanted to get up and say something for a while, but in the end he just clenched his fists and sat back down, suppressing his worry.

After walking out of the door, they saw the Milky Way lying above their heads, but everyone who smelled of alcohol was speechless. They just followed Gongsun Xun forward silently, and then rested hastily in an empty room in the public school.

At this time, Gongsun Xun asked Han Dang to call Gongsun Yue in person, and tried his best to comfort him in the house: "Don't worry, Ayue, I will definitely find a good marriage for you again. Cai Bojie is very proud of himself."

If the Yu family ignores me and other children from the border counties, they will definitely suffer in the future, let him go!"

Hearing these words, Gongsun Yue, who had been silent all night, finally raised his head, but his face was full of astonishment: "Brother, are you proposing marriage for me? Aren't you asking for a concubine?"

Gongsun Xun was also stunned here, his Adam's apple twitched, and he was speechless for a moment.

The two brothers looked at each other, still not understanding that their drunken words had lost their way and caused misunderstanding. Even Han Dang on the side was hesitant to speak.

But at this moment, a report came from outside the door, saying that it was Wang Xiu who asked to see him. Gongsun Xun's head was as big as a bucket, but he could only let people in.

And sure enough, as soon as Wang Shuzhi came in, he glanced helplessly at Gongsun Yue and Han Dang, and then saluted seriously: "Your Majesty, Cai Bojie is a famous person in the world. Although he is living in vain, how can his daughter easily become a concubine?"

Gongsun Xun remained silent.

However, Gongsun Yue had no choice but to step forward and explain a little bit: "Brother Shuzhi is overthinking. My original intention is to propose marriage for me."

Wang Xiu suddenly understood, but he couldn't help but stamp his feet: "If you speak carelessly after drinking, you may be misunderstood!"

"Actually, I didn't misunderstand." Han Dang, who was standing by, finally couldn't help but interjected. "Please note that Lord Cai glanced at the guard Sima in front of you."

Everyone was getting more and more headaches.

"It's a misunderstanding." After a long while, Gongsun Xun could only wave his hands helplessly. "Do you want me to explain to so many people in the hall just now? Besides, Cai Bojie has a great reputation, but he is actually a useless person. I want to

Marriage with him is meant to support and care for him. If it weren't for me... In short, he would decide his own path. Should I stay with him again? Don't take him seriously! Besides, I will also find a wife for him.

From a good family... when the time comes, I will find someone with a lot of wealth, and once I marry him, I will be able to save him decades of hard work."

Gongsun Yue, who missed the best wedding date because of his filial piety, was naturally extremely embarrassed, and Han Dang was speechless.

Wang Xiu thought about it and felt that this matter was already a dead end.

After all, forcing an explanation also feels like a deliberate concealment, which will lead to misunderstanding. As for the lord looking for a woman, ministers should avoid it. He just felt that Gongsun Xun was a little unethical after drinking today.

I couldn't help but give him some advice... And besides, judging from Guan Yu's behavior and Han Dang's words, the people in the hall may not be completely as misunderstood as Wang Xiu.

It can even be said that, thinking about it at this time, Cai Yong's personal meaning is somewhat confusing.

Of course, this domestic celebrity may have mistakenly believed that Gongsun Xun wanted to ask his daughter to be his concubine, and in order to prevent Cai's reputation from being insulted, he made a false statement; but it is also possible that he did not understand wrong, and he really looked down on Gongsun's origin in a nearby county;

What's more, I'm afraid that both ideas have come to mind, but they didn't dare to take the risk to talk about it, and they looked down on the Gongsun family in their hearts, so they simply made excuses... From this point of view, it is really an insult to the Gongsun family.

smell.

It must be known that Gongsun Yue was an official of Qianshi, a descendant of a noble family, and was so relied upon by Gongsun Xun. Wouldn't it be appropriate to marry his Cai Bojie's daughter?

For a moment, Wang Xiu's thoughts were spinning, and he actually fell silent. Moreover, he finally understood why as soon as he entered the house, he saw his own prince, Gongsun Yue, and Han Dang all silent.

To put it bluntly, things have become such a mess that it is impossible to explain clearly, and it is impossible to judge people's hearts... I can only freely prove it in my mind while giving up the idea of ​​​​this matter.

Just when the three of them were speechless, the guards outside the door suddenly came to report again, saying that Lu Fan and Lou Gui were jointly invited to see them.

Gongsun Xun waved his hands repeatedly as if he had eaten something disgusting: "Everyone go out, Ayue and Shuzhi are also going out. It's late today, I want to rest early, I won't see anyone! When Shen Zhengnan and Dong Gongren arrive later, they won't be seen either.

!”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone else came to report from outside the house, saying that Shen Pei and Dong Zhao were also here!

Gongsun Xun was too lazy to speak anymore, so he could only roll over to his room and get on the bed with a lot of anger... God knows how many people would think that he was a shameless person today? But he couldn't explain it!

However, is Gongsun Xun really a womanizer? That little girl named Cai is not good at all except for being a bitch?!

Gongsun Yue, Wang Xiu and Han Dang looked at each other and had no choice but to leave and explain outside the house.

A night of silence.

The next day, for some unknown reason, no one mentioned the matter again. If Cai Bojie hadn't shown up again, Gongsun Xun would have thought that last night was just a drunken dream of his own.

In this way, both sides pretended not to know, and Zhao's side worked hard to provide military supplies, and all 10,000 cavalry set off. When Gongsun Xun crossed the Gulu River Xia Embankment built by himself, he completely gave up on this matter.

After that, he turned his heart and soul to the military.

After passing Xiangcheng, walking by Bairen, and entering Changshan Mountain, the more you are truly calm, no matter how slowly the army delays, Quyang will be right in front of you.

To be fair, there is a reason why Zhang Bao, or the Zhang brothers, chose Quyang as the core stronghold of the Yellow Turban Army's northern line:

First of all, this city is extremely strong and vast, because Xiaquyang is not just an ordinary county town. It was once a county town hundreds of years ago, but was not used by the Later Han Dynasty. In fact, by the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Julu County was

The county government was eventually moved to this city.

Secondly, the geographical location is very good. Thirty to forty miles north of this fortified city is Wuji County of Zhongshan County, and sixty miles to the west is Changshan Kingdom Zhending. This city is in Zhang Bao's hands, and the counties to the north cannot cross here.

The city sent troops to the south to influence Zhang Jiao's death. What's more interesting is that the famous Futuo River happens to flow through more than ten miles north of the city of Xiaquyang, plus an unknown tributary that flows into the Futuo River from south to north.

, almost perfectly forming a natural line of defense for Xiaquyang.

It can be seen that Zhang Bao and Taiping Dao were really careful before they rebelled.

However, it has to be said the other way around. Looking at the mighty military strength of the camp north of Futuo River, to be honest, it is understandable that Guo Xun was dismissed from his post and sent back to Youzhou. Because he led tens of thousands of troops from several surrounding counties.

, but they did not cross the Futuo River! Although the imperial court did not expect Guo Xun to make a breakthrough with county soldiers alone, compared with other groups, including Lu Zhi, who had successfully forced Guangzong's city, this

Governor Guo's progress was indeed a bit slow.

If we break this line of defense within a month, we should be able to give an explanation to the court, right? Gongsun Xun, who came along the river, looked at the panicked Yellow Turban Army on the other side of the Futuo River from a distance, but he also took advantage of the situation and made up his mind to delay, and then stopped

The horse moved forward, heading towards the Han army camp behind him.

"Wenqi!" Outside the Han army camp in Futuo Hebei, Guo Xun, who had been separated for several months, had more and more gray hair. But when he saw Gongsun Xun's white horse flag, instead of feeling depressed, he

He breathed a sigh of relief. "I feel relieved that you can come here to take charge of the overall situation!"

"Why did Mr. Guo do this?" Gongsun Xun naturally would not tell the truth at this time. He turned over and dismounted, hurriedly took a few steps forward to hold the opponent's hands, and said with a sincere face. "There are five people everywhere.

There are elites in the imperial court, but you are the only one here who is full of county soldiers... To be able to fight to the foot of Quyang City is already worthy of your heart."

Hearing this, Guo Xun sighed even more: "Wenqi, my family knows my own affairs. I am really not good at commanding, let alone the county soldiers... No matter how good the county soldiers are, can they be weaker than those yellow scarf thieves south of Futuo River?

?Aren’t you the one who led the army and defeated tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves that day?”

Gongsun Xun laughed when he heard this and quickly tried to comfort him.

Unexpectedly, Guo Xun suddenly took half a step forward and took the initiative to whisper: "Wen Qi, to be honest, the problem is not the county soldiers, but the county guard... This place is the junction of the three counties. It costs two thousand stones for four people."

!The scepter can kill a thousand stones, but it cannot kill two thousand stones! And except for one Zong Yuan who is more obedient, the other three are really difficult to deal with, especially Julu Guo Dian and Zhongshan Zhang Chun!"

Only then did Gongsun Xun realize. Logically speaking, the Wuhuan Colonel Zongyuan, Julu Prefect Guo Dian, Changshan Prime Minister Feng Xin, and Zhongshan Prefect Zhang Chun should all be at or near the camp. They were just pretending to talk about military affairs.

If it was an emergency or if the prefect could not leave his jurisdiction, then he would have to send an envoy to greet him... But at this time, no one came here.

This is definitely not a random connection between the four people. They don't have the guts. Guo Xun must have received the news from him in the camp. He was depressed and deliberately didn't call anyone. Think about the reasons for deposing Guo Xun mentioned when Xiaohuangmen passed the order before...

Not only is the war going unfavorably, but there seems to be rumors that these prefects cannot be controlled.

After thinking about this, Gongsun Xun understood in his heart.

It seems that no matter how good-tempered Mr. Guo is, he is still angry. Otherwise, why would he have to go back to Youzhou to report these two-thousand-stone gossip to me?

Of course, after all, Guo Xun is a mature man who serves the country loyally. When he said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, it's not that I don't understand. The prefect of Juluguo has the responsibility to guard the land, so he acts cautiously and only wants to be quick."

We must quickly recapture Xiaquyang; but Zhongshan Governor Zhang and Changshan Prime Minister Feng have nothing to do with themselves, they just want to preserve their strength and do not want to fight; and I am a loyal governor of Youzhou, and I have no way to restrain them... However, Wen Qi

He is a general with good facial features and a world-famous general who has fought in many places, so maybe they should be more restrained."

Gongsun Xun didn't know the reason at this time, but he kept nodding his head, and immediately criticized these prefects in public for their disregard for the overall situation.
To be continued...
