Chapter 1 Life has new and old (continue to 2-in-1 debt repayment)(2/3)
That's right, these young soldiers prefer to eat the noodles that became popular in Youzhou during their growing up years... Halfway through Gongsun Xun's crusade against Dong, he had someone grind a lot of noodles while he was resting in Taiyuan.
Moreover, it was precisely ridiculous things like flour that allowed this army to fight one against ten in Gaoliang Pavilion and risk life and death in Pujin... If they were not allowed to go home, this army would really lose its combat effectiveness.
"It is said that Xiang Yu and his troops are like 'the people of Chu are crowned by the monkeys.'" Gongsun Xun was silent for a long time, and could only touch the sword in his waist with a bitter smile and sigh. "However, looking at it today, how can Xiang Yu be able to violate the law after burning the cauldron and sinking the boat?"
Where are the homesickness of Nijiangdong’s children?”
"General!" Tian Feng stood up quickly and solemnly. "You can't give up on Guanzhong! You can't even think about it at all! The most difficult time has passed. Don't be shaken by these things at this time."
"I know." Gongsun Xun nodded slightly. "For the current plan... on the one hand, we need to increase the rewards and tell the soldiers who are from Youzhou that they will go home for the New Year to appease people's hearts; on the other hand, we must
We must quickly prepare the troops and horses in Guanzhong, from local garrison to the establishment of an elite field force like our Youzhou Army."
"In that case." Lou Gui also stood up and mentioned something. "Hongnong can't delay it any longer. If the prince is really unwilling to pardon Li Jue and Hu Zhen, he can only use the opportunity to use troops! Otherwise, justice will
How can Gong, Suqing and Bojin reorganize the Kansai army on a large scale?"
"That's right." Gongsun Xun shook his head repeatedly, but instinctively looked at Jia Xu, who had been silent all this time. "I made it very clear in Hedong... I don't care about those who fight or stand on their own due to the current situation, but I can't
Forgive the person who is in his position but can only harm his people! Li Jue killed good people and took credit, and Hu Zhen regarded the people in the area as pigs and sheep. We must not forgive him! He must die!"
"Reporting to the prince, if you are worried about losing the troops in vain, you can let Duan Xuan and Li Meng take action." Jia Xu waited for Gongsun Xun to finish speaking, then stood up and saluted, and said something unhurriedly. "But the specifics are
For example, it depends on the person. If Duan Xuan seeks peace because of his good reputation, he can commend his mother for staying in Chang'an for his contribution to appeasing the people in the area; Li Meng is just a warrior who is afraid of strength and has a guilty conscience, so he can directly send envoys to rebuke him.
The previous move was not to surrender early. Then the general asked the two to send troops together, first taking Hu Zhen, who was the weakest and among the two... Since Hu Zhen died, Li Jue was blocked between Wuguan and Yiyang, and then let Li Jue
He went to recruit and alienate his subordinate soldiers and horses, telling them that the prince wanted the heads of Li Jue and some officers, and those who were dealt with severely were the Qiang people and his own soldiers, and the rest were ordinary soldiers from Liangzhou and Sanfu.
They will not kill indiscriminately. When the time comes, they will definitely dedicate Li Jue’s head! And when the time comes, taking advantage of the fact that Li Jue and Hu Zhen’s heads are dedicated, coupled with the surrender of Duan Xuan and Li Meng, they will organize
It will be easier for the Guanzhong troops!"
"What a serial plan." Gongsun Xun was sincerely convinced after hearing this. "In this case, Xinwen Wenhe will personally return to Tongguan and handle the matter with full authority... You are from Liangzhou, and they will trust you even more."
"That's what I wish for." Jia Xu answered with his hands in hand, and then sat back calmly under the strange looks of others.
"Is there anything else?" After Gongsun Xun said these things, he became more and more tired. In fact, the sky was already very dark at this time, and Jia Kui and others had already signaled the servants to come in and light the lamps.
"I have something to report to General Wei!" Zhong Yao, the Huangmen servant who was sitting by the door, suddenly stood up.
"Tell me."
"Yuan Shao went to Shu and represented Cao Cao as the governor of Yuzhou." Zhong Yao said quickly. "Counting the original governor of Yuzhou Kong Niao and the governor of Yuzhou Sun Jian represented by Yuan Shu, there are already three governors of Yuzhou in the world..."
"This is because Yuan Benchu wanted to swallow Yanzhou whole, so he used Cao Mengde as a barrier behind him." Gongsun Xun sighed. "But Yuan Chang, you have also seen that the third assistant has many things, and my troops will be gone for a while."
Even if they want to intervene in the situation in Kanto, they will have to wait until the last year and a half...and by then, Hebei will have to be the first priority."
"My subordinates know." Zhong Yao immediately nodded and spoke hurriedly with beads of sweat on his forehead. "But I have a plan...perhaps we can separate Yuzhou and let the two Yuans and even Xuzhou Tao Qian turn against each other, and finally
At least make it impossible for them to form an alliance against the prince."
No one spoke for a while in the hall. Gongsun Xun was also stroking his palms under the case and thinking. However, Xun You, who had been silent all this time, took a careful look at his best friend, and then continued to sit in the same place silently.
"Come on." Gongsun Xun saw more and more beads of sweat on the other party's forehead, so he gave the other party a chance.
"I heard that Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei were defeated in the war against Dong, and they met at Fengshi Mountain to meet for life and death..." Zhong Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said immediately.
"I know this." Gongsun Xun immediately nodded. "Before, in front of Xiwu, my mother from Hedong sent me a special letter to talk about this matter. She also asked me if there were peach blossoms in Fengshi Mountain. I said that there were peach blossoms at that time.
I must thank you, but there are some miscellaneous mountain flowers...you continue."
Although everyone did not understand why such trivial news attracted the attention of Lady Gongsun and reached the ears of General Wei, they quickly regained their composure and continued to listen to Zhong Yao's plan.
"Junhou." Zhong Yao continued to speak seriously. "Cao Mengde is Yuan Benchu's younger brother. In addition, his official position and general title were all recommended by Yuan Shao. So everyone knows that he can be the governor of Yuzhou. Once he comes,
It's because he is from Yuan Shao's side, secondly because his family is powerful in Pei State in the north of Yuzhou, and thirdly, because he gained some fame by fighting against Dong Zhong regardless of life and death."
"Yes, the whip is inserted inside."
"As for Sun Wentai, his support is, firstly, his bravery, and secondly, Yuan Shu's support. Otherwise, he may not be able to gain a foothold in Yingchuan, west of Yuzhou, if he is so frivolous."
"good."
"There is also Liu Xuande. He is also a capable person. This time he challenged Dong, everyone in the world looked at him with suspicion... But what's even better is that he relied on the support of Tao Qian of Xuzhou to be able to make the trip. Moreover, he had a close relationship with
Kings and princes are old!" Zhong Yao stopped abruptly mid-sentence and quickly lowered his head.
Without him, after the name Liu Xuande came out, Gongsun Xun kept a close eye on Quan Yuanchang after the case.
However, after the hall was quiet for a long time, the general Wei suddenly sneered: "Well said! Cao and Sun are the only heroes in the world. Who can stand up to Cao Mengde and Sun Wentai and control Yuzhou for the country?
I think there is only one Liu Xuande! Yuan Chang... What a strategy! What a vision!"
Zhong Yao let out a sigh of relief.
"Kong Ni is incompetent." Gongsun Xun immediately continued. "Tomorrow you will write a whiteboard to the minister's desk, send an envoy to remove Kong Ni, and appoint Liu Xuande as the governor of Yuzhou!"
Zhong Yao quickly leaned over and took orders.
"Okay." After saying this, Gongsun Xun looked at the candlelight in the hall and the dark sky outside the hall, and shook his head again. "The separatist regime in Guandong has been established. I'm afraid it will take more than ten years to completely wipe it out.
, don’t worry about the situation in Guanzhong. And now that Guanzhong is not at peace, everything will be settled in Guanzhong before talking about it... Dear gentlemen, it’s getting late today so I won’t talk about the situation in Guandong. Only if there are major issues in Guanzhong, I can discuss it again.
Talk about it, and if it’s not a big deal, you all have been working hard today, so you might as well go back and rest first!”
"Return to your Majesty." After looking at each other for a while, Wang Xiu, who had been standing motionless in the hall, finally spoke again. "There is a big thing in Guanzhong that I have to say, but if I say it, I won't be able to do it for a while..."
"Let's talk about it."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked me to dismiss the civilians from all over the country and go back to prepare for the autumn harvest. This is a virtuous policy." Wang Xiuyou said quietly. "But some of the civilians recruited from Guanzhong begged me not to drive them away easily...because they dispersed.
There is nowhere to go.”
Gongsun Xun was immediately moved - this was another big problem he encountered today that could not be solved by skills and methods after the army was homesick and the chaos in Guandong.
Dong Zhuo moved the capital, and millions of people from Henan came to Guanzhong. Two to three hundred thousand people died on the road, and two to three hundred thousand people were separated. But the remaining seven to eight hundred thousand people are now scattered throughout Guanzhong - some people were randomly resettled before.
The Meiyang area was scattered due to the Liangzhou Rebellion; some people were resettled to Baling, Duling, Gaoling and other cities with highly developed handicraft industries.
But what about the rest?
The war is so urgent and cruel. These people have left their homes and families behind, and there are such a huge number of them. How can they find a proper resettlement place?
Even the people who were resettled in Meiyang were panicked - the autumn harvest was coming, but there was no food in the roughly divided open space for them!
Gongsun Xun captured Guanzhong, captured the land of the three auxiliaries, subdued Han Sui and Ma Teng, and even went unscrupulously in front of the Weiyang Palace. He first 'whipped' the central court officials. It seemed that everything was going well and his momentum was unparalleled...
But there are also countless threads and waste waiting to be done.
But the challengers from Kanto have already begun to gather momentum.
"First take the food relief from Xiwu. We must survive this winter." Gongsun Xun sighed. "The rest will be discussed in the long term."
"What if the prince wants to expand the shogunate and add the three ministers to the general's office?" Xi Zhicai also hurriedly asked another important matter. "I see that the prince is so busy, why not go ahead?"
"This matter cannot be solved overnight." Gongsun Xun said with a frown. "It needs to be dealt with together with the talent seeking order that recently allowed people to submit themselves to my sect... But if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. This matter
It can indeed be given more priority, that's good, Yuan Chang and Gong Dajiu are in the center, and Zhicai can work with them to select some talents from the Chang'an court for me, and I will naturally select them myself."
"Here." The actor could only bow his head quickly, but after he stood up, he hesitated to speak.
"What do you want to say?" Gongsun Xun frowned even more.
"Some people in the court want the king to become his own general to calm people's hearts..."
"Don't mention this matter again." Gongsun Xun's face darkened almost immediately. "You are so sneaky that you don't dare to speak for yourself but let Cai Bojie, an old man, do it for you. Do you think you can do it for others? It's fine with others.
To all of you, I can tell you frankly... First, my daughter will never marry the son of a single husband like Liu Hong! Second, the general, the general of hussars, and the general of chariots and cavalry are all gone, and I am the general of the guard.
I just want to see who dares to compete with me for power in the court after what happened the day before yesterday? Huangfu Song, Wang Yun, or Liu who will come to Chang'an in the next few days.
Yu?!"
"Having said that." Tian Feng was the only one in the hall who was not afraid and faced the difficulties. "General, have you ever thought about this, if you don't give yourself a promotion in this challenge to Dong, what will happen if you don't give yourself a promotion in the future?
"
"Isn't this just right?" Gongsun Xun said with a slight frown. "As for lower-level officers and soldiers, whether I increase them or not, it won't delay their promotions or rewards; but for those who have made great achievements, I will not increase them.
Aren't they even more embarrassed to take the initiative to ask for an official position? The world's order has collapsed, and there are still few people in the army who abuse titles and rewards? In my opinion, Dong Zhuo is more rigorous in this matter."
"There is a person..." After Tian Feng slowly nodded and retreated, Jia Xu suddenly spoke. "Marquis Wen Lu Bu, his official position and title seem to be a bit excessive, especially now that he is only a general."
"He can't even be considered as a reduced general." Gongsun Xun took a long breath and said. "But since I said I won't pursue it, in order not to shake people's hearts, let's just let it go... Of course, this person is the only one who is short-sighted and courageous.
Like a tiger, he is unparalleled in this world, so be careful not to let him be deceived by anyone... Thank you Wenhe for reminding him."
Jia Xu bowed his head and said yes.
"That's it for today." Gongsun Xun shook his head and sighed, as if he was extremely exhausted. "Everyone has worked very hard, so you should go back and rest quickly...things must be done one by one."
Everyone thanked them and said goodbye, and Gongsun Xunfu asked Jia Kui and others to fetch some valuable items from the Taishi's mansion and distribute them to these people and send them out along the way. Needless to say, there is no need to say more.
Just like that, the sky turned completely dark, and the wise men and women who Gongsun Xun could rely on all took the bus back to their homes... Some people like Jia Xu would set out to do things tomorrow, and some people like Wang Xiu still had themselves.
The logistics system will continue to work hard, and there are people like Tian Feng who suddenly received an invitation from an old friend and couldn't shirk it, so they had to bite the bullet and go to the banquet... These are not mentioned.
Just talking about Xun You, Zhong Yao and Xi Zhong, after receiving the order, these three old friends from Yingchuan returned in the same car and had a drink together in Zhong Yao's residence, but they also talked about what happened in the hall today.
"Let's not talk about the matter of recruiting available talents for the central government for the king." After three rounds of drinking, Xi Zhong put down his wine glass and sat cross-legged on the couch, asking more questions. "You two are participating in the discussion for the first time today. How dare you
I want to ask two famous people, what do these wise and resourceful people in my general family think, are they worthy of the talent and virtue of these two people? What about my general family, how can they be compared to some of the world's role models?"
To be continued...
