In this way, no matter what, Gai Xun returned disappointed, and Yuan Benchu ​​failed to 'drive out the wolf and drive out the tiger'. Therefore, Gongsun Xun still sat quietly at the ferry, aiming at Luoyang with a covetous attitude, which made the generals feel particularly at ease.

, and also leaves some people helpless.

For a time, there was even a nursery rhyme spread in Luozhong, saying, "A white horse in Hanoi, lying still like a tiger and dragon" and so on...

In mid-October, the increasingly helpless emperor made his last attempt. He sent Zhu Jun and Zhu Gongwei, who had returned from observing filial piety, to serve as the prefect of Hanoi.

However, in today's world, probably more than 80% of the scholars and generals wish that the emperor would die early. There are very few people like Gai Xun!

After receiving the order, Zhu Jun immediately set off from Luoyang, but he made a move that left everyone speechless - he simply did not go through Mengjin, but crossed the Yellow River from Wushejin, which was farther away, and then turned to Hanoi County to govern Huai.

The county became his governor of Hanoi.

This veteran general and hero, who was always known for his toughness, acted as if he was staying out of the whole process. He didn't even confront Gongsun Xun, let alone get into trouble with Gongsun Xun as he imagined.

At this time, the emperor, who was getting weaker and weaker, was completely helpless. In addition, he and He Jin could only fight for compromise and were not enemies after all. So in late October, when the military parade in Luozhong was optimistically held as scheduled, the emperor

I still chose to accept my fate.

On that day, tens of thousands of cavalry lined up in the open space outside Pingtang Hall, forming separate camps.

In front of Pingguang Hall, two high altars were built, one was ten feet high, with a twelve-story canopy built on it; the other was nine feet high, with a nine-story canopy built on it. The former was entered by the emperor himself, but the latter was the general He.

Entering, the two of them paraded together.

Later, the emperor actually forced himself up, put on his armor and sword, mounted his horse, and called himself the supreme general. He patrolled left and right for three times before he managed to stop... But after he stopped, he gave the sword and military talisman to everyone in public.

General. At this time, Marshal Jian Shuo of Xiyuan, who was previously claimed to be able to command He Jin, was only leading a battalion of soldiers and horses to be reviewed in the audience.

So far, He Jin had won a great victory and regained the title of being in charge of the world's military power. Moreover, the way in which he gained military power this time was even more open, more grand, and more undisputed.

After the matter was over, he walked away, but he could not hide his merits and fame... Not to mention that Gongsun Xun had agreed to pay for going out to help He Jin. Even the sergeants who were inspected also received a large amount of money from Xiyuan.

He was rewarded and had to accept inspection and promotion from General He Jin.

In fact, in November, He Jin, who was very politically honest, immediately supported Liu Yan's state pastoral system, which made the emperor who had some approval of this proposal immediately nod.

This is not to say that the emperor was so stupid that he allowed the region to expand.

First of all, there is so much chaos now, with rebellions and bandits everywhere, and the state-pastoral system is indeed conducive to countering rebellions and stabilizing local areas;

Secondly, the state pastor does not have an unlimited term, but is a directional position specially established to counter rebellion. Wherever there is trouble, the state pastor can be temporarily set up. If there is no trouble, it will still be the governor system;

Finally, whether it is the emperor or the general, all the ministers in the central government who are well-connected in their hearts also understand that the state pastoral power and responsibilities are too heavy, and they must choose people who are both capable and reliable.

So when a Yizhou pastor came up, Liu Yan was appointed. This was Liu Junlang's reconsideration when he proposed the state pastoral system. He was going to Yizhou to quell the chaos!

One more thing to say here is that Liu Junlang actually asked to go to Jiaozhou at first, but later, for some unknown reason, he just changed the name to Yizhou from the center.

At this time, in Yizhou, civil strife broke out in the Wudou Rice Sect. Zhang Xiu in Hanzhong and Zhang Lu in Bajun could not deal with each other, so they accepted the court's recruitment together and became as honest as Zhang Yan. This was also the case before.

This was because Yizhou had spare strength to send troops to Wudu County.

On the other hand, the second Yellow Turban suddenly broke out and caused chaos in the hinterland of Yizhou.

In other words, Yizhou was in a semi-chaotic situation at this time. From the central government's point of view, it was the kind of place that could be saved and that people should be sent to save it quickly - it was a suitable place to send an important minister as the governor of the state.

Liu Junlang is a dignified and important member of the clan, and his virtue is well known to the world. There is no reason not to trust him?

So Liu Yan left his four sons to continue to serve as officials in Luozhong, and he went to Shu County alone to take up his post. He did so in a very dashing way, and was highly anticipated by everyone.

Next is Yuzhou Mu, which is mainly to save a series of consequences caused by summer floods, such as autumn harvest, famine, and today's bandits... Anyway, Yuzhou is next to Luoyang, so the court didn't think much about it, and just did it without batting an eyelid.

Liu Yan's cousin Huang Wan was sent.

Huang Wan had nothing to say, so he resigned from the post of imperial servant and replaced him with the seal and ribbon of Yuzhou Mu, and immediately took office. Anyway, beyond Sheyuan Pass is Yingchuan, which is the boundary of Yuzhou.

At this time, General He Jin publicly proposed the candidate for the third state shepherd. He suggested that General Wei Gongsun Xun be appointed as the shepherd of Jizhou, and use his "knowledge soldiers" to completely eliminate the millions of bandits entrenched in the Taihang Mountains to stabilize the country.

The overall situation in Hebei...the Black Mountain Bandits and the Purple Mountain Bandits, the surrender that day was just a sign of chaos in Liangzhou, a last resort!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is time to destroy them!

There was a lot of discussion among the central officials. Some people thought it was feasible, but others felt that Gongsun Xun was already a general. It was better to suppress the rebellion with integrity. There was no need to bear the seal and ribbon of Jizhou Mu.

In fact, when Gongsun Xun heard such a dispute reported by Gongsun Yue and others in Hanoi, he didn't take it seriously. He could just go and sweep the Taihang Mountains... What's the difference? If that's the case, maybe Bingzhou is next to it on the east side.

The three counties of Taihang Mountain can also be rectified by him.

However, General He Jin wanted to lose face, so how could he let go of things he promised to others? Besides, he had finally regained military power and received the emperor's approval to openly take over power. How could he be willing to give in?

So the center had a little dispute for a while.

I heard that the emperor was mainly rebellious against the general being so aggressive, and Zhao Zhong, who had completely broken with Gongsun Xun, was also involved - the latter was mainly worried that Gongsun Xun would directly copy the Zhao family in Hebei after he became the shepherd of Jizhou.

's whole family.

As for Yuan Shao, Jian Shuo and others, they supported Gongsun Xun as the governor of the state.

You read that right, Yuan Benchu ​​supported Gongsun Xun to become the shepherd of Jizhou. In fact, since Gongsun Xun came to Mengjin in person, Yuan Benchu ​​had never thought about such local tricks. At this time, he just wanted Gongsun Xun to hurry up.

Leaving Mengjin and Luoyang as far away as possible, there is no other thought! It can even be said that as long as Gongsun Xun is in Mengjin, our world model has never slept peacefully.

Otherwise? He didn't know that the warlords would be separatist in a year! What he was thinking about now was how to punish the emperor after his death, so that the Yuan family could become one of the rulers!

And this idea is really right!

Jian Shuo's thoughts were actually similar. He was also frightened by Gongsun Xun's eager gaze. As soon as the opponent was in Mengjin, his control of the imperial army became unstable!

However, this kind of complicated dispute has nothing to do with the overall situation. Neither Gongsun Xun nor He Jin is worried that the matter will not come to an end - because after the military parade, the emperor's body has gradually deteriorated visibly to the naked eye.

Gongsun Xun was even sure that the emperor must have over-enjoyed his daily life and contracted some serious so-called chronic disease as Gongsun said. He was slowly and unshakably heading towards death in a well-known way.

Sliding.

At this time, Gongsun Xun had a very clear idea. He wanted to sit tight in Hanoi, get the Jizhou animal husbandry, and get out of here. Then once something happened, he would sweep Hebei and then conquer the world!

Even if there is time, it would not be a bad idea to directly lead the army into Luo when the incident occurs next year, punish the officials and quell the chaos, overwhelm Guanxi on the left, conquer the Central Plains on the right, and whip the world!

However, there was a thunder on the ground, and just when Gongsun Xun was so excited that he could no longer hold back, suddenly, countless sentries and cavalry came from the west. The Liangzhou rebels claimed to be one hundred thousand, and the entire army continued to march out under the banner of punishing the eunuchs.

Liangzhou, entered Sanfu, and approached Chang'an.

The world was shaken again, and Luozhong was also panicked for a moment! Almost everyone thought of the rumor that there would be war in Luoyang and bloodshed in the two palaces!

On the other side, Gongsun Xun in Mengjin was also a little confused... He never expected that his remarks to offend Xu You that day would actually come true! To be fair, he knew a lot of things that happened later, and even the details of certain things next year.

, but I really didn’t know that in the winter of this year, the Xiliang rebels would actually leave Liangzhou to attack Guanzhong!

It's ridiculous that he secretly laughed at Yuan Shao for supporting him in his Jizhou pastoral project. Looking at it now, in a sense, Gongsun Xun and Yuan Benchu ​​are simply half a pound to half a pound! They are clearly a pair of ridiculous, self-righteous people!

Next, where will the imperial court discuss Jizhou Mu?!

"It's done!"

In the North Palace, outside the Emperor's West Garden Bedroom, the winter wind was cold. Zhang Rang, with his hands folded, found Jian Shuo, the senior military commander, and then said one word at a time: "Let the generals, Yuan Benchu, Gongsun Wenqi, and Gai Yuangu lead the troops."

Go to Chang'an to resist the Xiliang rebels, and you, the Colonel, will be in charge of the affairs after the Emperor's death! By then, the Colonel will be able to live up to the Emperor's trust, and we old slaves will be able to survive under your wings.

"

After saying this, Zhang Rang, the leader of the eunuchs in the Beigong, bowed respectfully to Jian Shuo, the former Little Huangmen.

For no reason, the panting Jian Shuo suddenly remembered the jug of wine that Gongsun Xun left on the boat when he was in Hedong in the past... He had almost forgotten the taste of it.

——————I am the dividing line that needs to be updated even on Christmas————

"Since Xun had formed a conspiracy with Yuan Shao and Liu Yu, the military commander Jian Shuo was worried about it. It happened that a hundred thousand rebels from Liangzhou attacked the third auxiliary, and Guanzhong was in chaos. Shuo then conspired with the ministers and persuaded Emperor Ling to move Xun to the throne.

Jingzhao Yin. Xun was anxious because he wanted to see the emperor, but the Huangmen prison said that the emperor was ill and could not see him. Huangmen again held the edict and scolded him, saying: "Jingzhao Yin defended the imperial edict!" As for the third time, he was worshiped.

When he was about to leave, Xun looked at the sky and sighed: "General Wei will not deceive me. Today I know about Yang Qiu!" - "Dian Lue". Notes by Yan Peisong
