"So, Zhicai wants me to agree?" Gongsun Xun frowned and asked.

"It's not that the prince agrees." Xi Zhicai responded sternly. "Your Majesty, in terms of the situation, people's hearts, and laws, the prince has no reason to refuse. The general has to receive this kind of order and then change it.

Ask the prince to do it for you. Can the prince disobey it? Besides, don’t you all say that this battle can actually be fought?”

"Having said that." Gongsun Xun shook his head for a while. "First of all, I am not reconciled to the sudden loss of Jizhou Mu; secondly, I am always a little worried...I feel that this time I have fallen into someone else's tricks."

Just as Xi Zhong was about to persuade him again, he suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice outside the tent:

"General Wei, I take the liberty of asking you to see me."

The four people in the tent looked at each other in confusion. Naturally they knew that this was the voice of General Shi Wangqian, so they had no choice but to contain Gaiyan and invite Wang Qian to enter.

"How come the king is here, but Brother Suigao is waiting in a hurry?" Gongsun Xun responded with a smile.

"No." Wang Qianjin said calmly in the tent. "I have recommended myself to see General Wei as a lobbyist... General, can you listen to what I, the lobbyist, have to say?"

Gongsun Xun felt helpless and could only offer his hand.

However, as soon as Wang Qianfu opened his mouth, the people in the tent became serious:

"Jun Hou, in my opinion, the reason why you are hesitating now is not because you don't know where the general trend is, but because you are unwilling to use your own strategies to seize Jizhou, which makes the plan of integrating Youji and Jizhou come to nothing; secondly, you are worried.

I'm worried that there are people with ulterior motives behind this targeting you...is that so?"

"The state animal husbandry is just a temporary setting." Gongsun Xun's face did not change, but he just explained bravely. "It can take at least one or two years, and it can take up to two or three years. After sweeping away millions of bandits from the north and south of the Taihang Mountains, it is natural to give up... How?

Are you and Ji united?"

Wang Qian stood in the tent and smiled for a while: "In the private room, Qian is no more than a weak scholar. Not to mention the five hundred followers outside, even this Han Sima can kill me with one knife. General Wei, what do you have to say?"

Worried? Moreover, everyone knows that the world is unstable. At this time, some people are jumping into the center, trying to change the clouds and rain, while some are going to the local areas, trying to gain a stable foundation, and it is reasonable to maintain their lives and aspirations.

This thing can’t be called so taboo, right?”

Han Dang's face was expressionless, while Lou Gui and Xi Zhong looked at each other in silence.

Gongsun Xun chuckled lightly: "What the king said is true... In that case, do you have anything to teach me?"

"Yes." Wang Qian took two steps forward and came to Gongsun Xun. He held his head high and said frankly. "I will tell you two things about the two hesitations in Junhou's heart... Speaking of which, on Mang Mountain in Changping, Junhou could

Do you know why I promised to be a 'Jizhou Shepherd'?"

Gongsun Xun was speechless for a moment.

"Because of famine." Wang Qian asked himself and answered. "Last spring and summer, there were great floods in the Central Plains counties. Almost all the areas south of the river and between Huaisi and Huaisi were devastated. By the time I hurriedly sent out the mission, it had already changed.

It turned into famine and banditry... My people fled from Shanyang to the capital. On the way, they died of starvation, dozens of illnesses, and dozens more died at the hands of bandits..."

"Has it reached this point?" Xi Zhong couldn't help but interjected and asked. "There are two sons and three princes in the Wangjun clan."

"What can the second generation and the third prince do in that situation?" Wang Qian asked helplessly. "I have wine, meat, money and food in Luozhong, how can I send it across the famine all over the land? In fact, it's not just me.

, Luozhong Gongqing, those whose families are in the Central Plains actually have similar things. Under the general trend, the princes, princes, and concubines are just mortals. For example, Cao Mengde, an old friend of the prince and prince, was appointed as Yilang last year, and his father was still in the post of Taiwei, but

His cousin, however, could only gather people and beg for food between Huaisi and Huaisi, half-people and half-bandits. There were also some relatives who were heard to have higher moral standards, but actually starved to death in order to save the children of relatives...

General, there is a reason why people in the world have gradually hated the emperor in the past few years without you!"

The man who went to Huaisi to gather men to rob houses was clearly Cao Ren, who had just grown up, and Cao Ren was clearly from a noble family before. The man who kept the festival must have been either Xiahou Dun or Xia Houyuan... Gongsun Xun quickly guessed some of the truth, and then

But he also thought of the smiling Cao Mengde who came here before. Who would have thought that Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and others had experienced this kind of thing over the years?

"In this way, the king visited my farm many times that day." As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xun sighed again.

"That's right." Wang Qian tried his best to adjust his emotions and said. "I left Luozhong and walked through Hebei. I saw that there were more wild valleys than long acres in the place. In fact, I didn't think much about it at that time, let alone just the past.

Due to the fate of the emperor, he shouldered such a heavy political responsibility for the monarch... But when he arrived at Zhuojun and entered Guangyang, he saw that the order there was strict, and the autumn harvest was coming, and the golden fields were covered with chess pieces, which shocked people's hearts.

My heart is shaken, and I am willing to work hard for the king."

"I..." Gongsun Xun's heart moved and he wanted to make some promises.

"I am not talking about this today because I want to find a place for my people." Wang Qian seemed to understand what the other party wanted to say, and he forced the other party to shut up when he opened his mouth. "Because since the monarch is determined to run the place, how can he do it without any reason?

Rejecting people thousands of miles away? They have survived such a severe famine. They have hands and feet, so why can't they work hard to survive? We, the Wang family of Shanyang, can't do that kind of thing like asking for land and asking for a house."

"Ashamed!" Gongsun Xun looked solemn.

"I am talking about this today because I actually want to tell you that as long as the things in the world are right and you do them, you will reap the rewards. Don't think that it is worth doing this and that it is not worth doing... People in the world are not blind.

, who is a hero and who is fishing for fame, they can see it!" Wang Qian became more serious. "Jizhou Mu is a good place. It would be great if you can go there to maintain the tranquility of Jizhou, but will you suffer a loss if you go to Guanzhong? To resist

Are the rebels a trouble? I must be honest, but most people are fighting for power in Luozhong now, but they have forgotten that the people of Guanzhong are in panic to the west! If you go to Guanzhong, you will definitely gain something in the future because of today's loss... Of course

, This is just a personal theory, and it is somewhat empty talk. It doesn’t matter whether you listen to it or not.”

Gongsun Xun responded silently.

"Besides this fact that may make people laugh, there is actually one more thing I want to tell you." Wang Qian continued. "To send the prince to Chang'an today, there is actually someone secretly planning and targeting... It's exactly

Yuan Benchu ​​had been planning for a long time and formed a party to do things. He really didn't want to let the most powerful sword in the world like Junhou stay in Luozhong and ruin his big things. Of course, as I expected, it was just that there was no Yuan Shao and Jian Shuo.

He will also do something against the princes, but Luozhong really cannot do without the general."

really!

When Gongsun Xun heard this, he felt relieved. He was about to say thank you, but for some reason he swallowed the words and asked another question: "Dare you ask the king, you generals' subordinates"

Officer, are you just going to sit back and watch Yuan Benzhu act so unscrupulously? Or..."

"It's just as the prince thought." Wang Qian was neither happy nor angry. "Probably the general's background is too low, and Yuan Benchu's background is too high. Moreover, although the general has some magnanimity, he is somewhat lacking in intelligence, so the general's secret plan is to

Scholars are biased... Of course, there are also some honest ministers, such as Master Chen, who has been secretly reminding the general to be wary of Yuan Benchu, but the general may not be able to hear it."

Gongsun Xun nodded in response.

After a while, Wang Qian went back first, but after a while, Gongsun Xun, who understood that the general trend was in place and could not allow him to act arbitrarily, also took three of his confidants back to the tent. As soon as he entered, he stepped forward and spoke to He Jin straight to the point: "Brother Suigao

, I have made up my mind and am willing to go out of town to Changan for you!"

He Jin couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"But there are three things that I have to ask you to agree to in advance." Gongsun Xun immediately put forward the conditions without waiting for the other party to indicate.

"Wen Qi, just say so." He Jin didn't care.

"First of all, I know that the Xiyuan Forbidden Army cannot move, but the five schools of the Northern Army still have to support me. They will also serve as Knights of Three Rivers, Guanzhong Local Materials Officer, and strong men."

"If you want to show your power as a commander during this expedition, you can only rely on the Three Rivers and Five Schools." He Jin also sighed. "But you have to be prepared. The Northern Army now is no more than it was when the Three Rivers Knights were activated year after year.

There are people fleeing, and I am afraid that there will only be 10,000 soldiers in the hurry. As for Guanzhong, I immediately issued an order to activate Huangfu Song and mobilized the local soldiers in Guanzhong. I think there will be 20,000."

"That's enough...Secondly, no matter whether we win or lose this time, after the war is over, I ask Brother Suigao to still allow me to be the shepherd of Jizhou. As for General Hussar and the rule of the Republic, let's talk about it later!"

"If Wen Qi insists on this, I have no intention of forcing it."

"That's good... Finally, please let Yuan Benchu ​​leave Guandong and go to Runan to recruit troops for me! One day I am in Chang'an, he will be in Runan the same day, otherwise I will not be at peace and I will not be able to do anything!" Gongsun Xun

Suddenly he lowered his face and said.

He Jin was stunned for a moment, but immediately nodded: "I understand, I will drive him away tomorrow. If Wen Qi fails to win, he will not be able to return to Luoyang."

"In this case, please sit down in Luozhong, brother Suigao, and wait for the good news." Gongsun Xun slowly raised his hand.

He Jin also nodded slowly again.

The cold winter wind was still there, and He Jin, who had received the promise, walked across the river again overnight to return to Luozhong in order not to delay things.

When he reached the middle of the frozen Yellow River, He Jin, who was supported by Wu Kuang, suddenly stopped and looked at Wang Qian under the torch in the dark night: "Did Chang Shi convince Wen Qi with Yuan Shao's incident?"

"Yes!" Wang Qian hesitated for a moment, but seeing He Jin's confidant next to him, he simply admitted.

"Ha..." He Suigao half smiled bitterly and half sighed. "Actually, I also know that although the people under my command applied because of my status as a general, most of them look down on me. They are more or less partial to Yuan Benchu."

In the cold wind, on the solid ice, Wang Qian, wearing a leather robe but still shivering, remained silent.

"Furthermore, Yuan Benchu ​​and Gongsun Wenqi have used my name to use their careers for their own purposes, and I know it very well." He Jin continued, but his expression became more and more serious. "But Chang Shi.

, what can I do? Ever since I became a general, I was confused at first, but then I read more books and heard more things, and I understood that I had no way out...

The dynasty lasted for hundreds of years, and since Wei Qing took office as the general, the only one who died well was Wei Qing himself, and the rest were all dead and their families were destroyed!"

Wang Qian remained expressionless.

And He Jin was already in a difficult mood: "So, every day, I stand on the ice like this, with the biting cold wind on one side and no shelter from the wind; on the other hand, it is pitch black and I don't know where the road is.

! Therefore, whether it is Yuan Benchu ​​or Gongsun Wenqi, if they can really help me, I sincerely do not care about decentralizing power to them, nor do I care about their selfishness... But I am afraid, I am obviously just seeking the continuation of the family, but

Or we will end up dead! Chang Shi, do you think there is such a truth in the world? What have we, the He family, done to deserve this kind of treatment?"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Kuang next to him couldn't bear it any longer, and he bent down and knelt on the ice, with tears streaming down his face: "General, don't worry, I have been favored by the general, even though I only have the strength of one man."

, but he will definitely repay it with all his strength!"

Wang Qian had no choice but to bow down and face him.

He Jin patted Wu Kuang's hand and signaled him to get up and move on.

And Wang Qian, the second and third prince, lowered his head again to follow... In fact, he wanted to ask He Jin just now.

First of all, do you know that "What did our family do to deserve this kind of treatment?" It's not you, He Jin, who said this?

You must know that in the past, Dong Xian'en of the Han Dynasty was favored and favored because of his habit of cutting off his sleeves, and he held the power of the world. His father tried to marry someone else, but he was so scared that the other party knelt down and begged. He had similar emotions.
