When Liang Fen received the letter, she was entertaining guests at home.
Most of the visitors were scholars from Xizhou, and the leader was Yan Ding, a former staff member of Situ, who was styled Taichen and was from Tianshui.
After Sima Yue passed away, the trees fell and the hozens scattered, and many people left. Yan Ding was one of them.
But he has no connections in the court, and his own family background is not very good. The court today is completely different from a few years ago, and there is really no way.
Yan's commandery is located in Tianshui and Jincheng.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was Yan Wen, who was not riding in Liangzhou, and Yan Xing, a general of Han Sui's army. Yan Ding was considered the third more well-known figure among the Yan family. He was first selected as a scholar from Qinzhou, and then was promoted to join the army by Sima Yue, who was the Taifu at the time.
, the career trend is very good.
But Sima Yue died, and Yan Ding had no choice but to run back.
Now his identity is a homeless man.
There are many refugees from Guanxi in Henan County. Yan Ding was born in Qinzhou and was famous, so some people regarded him as the main one and settled and farmed in the mountain basin to the west of Mi County.
The status of the refugee commander and the Wubao commander was not favored by scholars like them, but now there is no other way. It is better to have a force than to have nothing.
In fact, it couldn't be easier for scholars like them who have prestige among the refugees in their hometown to become Wubao commander or refugee commander.
Wang Ru is a junior officer in Jingzhao Mansion, and everyone recommends him as the leader.
Du Tao, a native of Shu County, was originally the county magistrate who suppressed the rebellion of Bashu refugees, and the rebellious refugees still regarded him as the leader.
Naturally, the refugees in Kansai will also take Yan Ding as their master.
Family status and family background, after one or two hundred years of development, have been deeply integrated into social culture, customs, and traditions, influencing everyone in a subtle way.
Even if some people rise up to rebel and kill the nobles, they have a vague sense of inferiority in their hearts. If the nobles are willing to cooperate with them, they are even willing to hand over their leadership and serve them as masters. This is not uncommon.
Intangible things like the atmosphere of the times and values ​​are often more difficult to break than tangible manors and forts.
Shao Xun tried to reverse this trend and values. This was a more difficult task than defeating the Huns. His idea was to start from the economic foundation, and the theoretical source was that "the economic foundation determines the superstructure." The effect was difficult to predict.
General Wei Liang Fen is now one of the leaders of Xizhou scholars in the court.
Scholars in the world are divided into different regions. Generally speaking, the scholars from Xizhou did not do well in Luoyang.
Today, in addition to Yan Ding, there are also Secretary Cheng Fu Chang and several others who came to visit Liang Mansion.
Chang's father was recently promoted to Situ. He has a high position but not much power.
Brother Chang Xuan was once the chief historian on the right side of Sima Yue, and later became an official in the court. He was almost killed together with Gao Guang and others, but he was lucky enough to escape.
Under General Liang Fen of the Wei, Fu Zhi from Niyang in the north should be the second person.
But generally speaking, there are still not many Xizhou scholars serving as officials in the court, and their base camp is still in Guanzhong.
For example, Liang Zong, a younger brother of the Liang Fen tribe, is now Jingzhaoyin, Liang Wei is the prefect of Beidi, Liang Su is the Pinyang order, and Liang Zong's uncle Suo Wei is the prefect of Feng Yi...
The descendants of the great general Liang Ji were originally a wealthy family in Guanxi. They were in decline under the late emperor. After Liang Lanbi became the queen, although the general Liang Fen did not get involved in any political affairs, the Liang clan had constant benefits. In addition, they were good people.
, itself powerful, Nanyang King Sima Mo also began to reuse the Liang family, and gradually improved.
Liang Fen was the hub of the Kansai scholars in the court, and many gatherings were held at his house. Yan Ding was envious and jealous of this, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to bow his head.
"Taiwan Minister, you have a desire to make progress. I know it." Liang Fen leaned on the couch and sighed, "But Nanyang is not a good place. That Taibai Star elite sent six soldiers to guard Wancheng.
How can I do anything if I go?"
"Wang Ru..." Yan Ding whispered.
"If Wang Ru is too ambitious, he may not be obedient." Liang Fen said, "If I go to Wancheng, I might be able to win some people over, but Wang Ru will not surrender. Besides, I have no troops at hand, so it will be even more difficult."
"Why does Liang Gong have no troops?" Fu Chang said: "In the past, when suppressing Zhang Chang's rebellion, every time an important official went south, the imperial army would allocate some troops to lead them. If Liang Gong went south, the court would have to divide thousands of troops no matter what.
Aren’t there soldiers? Besides, isn’t Beigong Chun in the north of the city?”
Liang Fen didn't comment and just said: "Beigong Chunshu came to Luoyang and did visit me several times. I also know some of his generals. But they will eventually leave, so how can they stay in Luoyang forever?"
"Liang Gong is mistaken." Fu Chang hadn't spoken yet, but Yan Ding said anxiously: "I was in Xin'an a few days ago and collected a group of defeated troops, the defenders of Tongguan. Because their retreat was cut off, they were defeated by Zhao Ran.
If Liang Gong sends people to appease them, he should be able to recruit thousands more people. After the Xiongnu invaded Guanzhong, the return route from Tongguan was cut off. How could the Liangzhou soldiers return?"
"Today, if you want to send me out to be the governor of the town, it is better to negotiate the terms and take away the Liangzhou soldiers. Then allocate some of the imperial troops, or go to Hongnong to recruit the defeated soldiers at Tongguan. It is easy to gather ten thousand people."
"The Du brothers in Yiyang have always respected Duke Liang, and they are not lacking in etiquette during festivals. They are also from Guanxi, and their clansman Du Xungang went to Luoyang on Zhang Liangzhou's order and presented 500 horses and 30,000 rugs. Duke Liang might as well test it out.
, maybe we can also bring some money and food over."
"Furthermore, there are thousands of Guanxi refugees under my tent, and they are willing to obey the orders of Duke Liang."
"Liang Gong." Fu Chang then said: "With the endless war in Guanzhong, there must be Qiang, Di, Hu, and Han people leaving Wuguan and entering Nanyang. In the past, Liang Gong was friends with the Qiang and Di chiefs, and he had great prestige, so it would not be difficult to care for them.
.In this way, we have soldiers and people, so why should we be afraid?"
Liang Fen was silent for a long time.
After a while, he stood up and walked around, sighing again and again.
Fu Chang was fine, but Yan Ding was extremely anxious.
Why didn't Liang Gong seize such a good opportunity? He served as the governor of Wancheng and supervised the military affairs of Mianbei. If he took office with him, it would be of great benefit, and the thousands of refugees from Guanxi who followed him would also be able to find a place.
.
"Kuandong is not our territory after all." Liang Fen sighed and said: "If I were in Chang'an at this time, I would definitely give you a future without saying a word, and I would definitely give you a future. In the land of Jingxiang and Nanyang, the situation is complicated.
Cheng, Shan Jian and other important officials of the court, as well as Wang Ru, Yan Yi and other refugee commanders, Shao Quanzhong has even joined forces with the local wealthy families in Nanyang to arrange private affairs and is very ambitious. If I go, I will definitely confront him, alas."
"Gong Liang! Gong Liang!" Yan Ding said anxiously: "Shao Xun's family background is not strong, his power is not strong, and his business is too big. Now the actual control is only in Luonan, Xiangcheng, and Chen County.
Yingchuan, Nanyang, Shunyang, Lu and other places may be attached to it, but it is not reliable. However, he is not satisfied yet, and goes eastward to Fan County to rob Sima Yue's inheritance. He is already full and cannot control such a large place.
.Gong Liang went to Wancheng as ordered by the imperial court. Who dares to stop him?"
Liang Fen thought for a moment and asked, "Where is Shao Xun?"
"I just sent the heir to the East China Sea and his concubine to Kaocheng." Fu Chang replied: "He should still be arranging the defense of Yanzhou, trying to expel the Xiongnu cavalry that was raiding south. In addition, Liu Cong sent Zhao Gu and others to lead the army eastward and entered
Qingzhou, trying to unite Cao Yi's army. Gou Xi fought a battle with Cao Yi last month and won a small victory. General Gou Dao won three games in a row, with fewer troops as he fought. Cao Yi lost three games, with more troops as he fought.
, Zhao Gu and others come again, Gou Dao will probably be difficult to defeat. Changes are imminent in the Qingyanxu area, and Shao Xun does not have much energy to take care of all parties. He has intervened in Nanyang, but as a result of the military and political committees of local wealthy families, Liang Gongruo left
Wancheng is not as difficult as imagined. Besides, the Hu and Han refugees from Guanxi are still entering Nanyang, and there is endless support."
"Shao Xun..." Liang Fen closed her eyes and thought.
He often hears people mention "Shao Taibai", and his reputation is too great.
He has also studied Shao Xun's past and admires him very much. He couldn't do this if he was in a different place.
To be brave, resourceful, insightful and skillful, not to be greedy for success but to lay a solid foundation, to know how to advance and retreat, and to make progress step by step, are these skills not given by God?
He remembered the prophecy.
Alas, it would be great if he was from Kansai. Even if he was not a scholar, Liang Fen would still be willing to support him with a lot of money - Xizhou was a place where Hu and Han were mixed, wars were frequent, and there were family distinctions, but they were not as valued as the scholars from Kanto.
"Sometimes, I feel ashamed of the people of the world." Liang Fen suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "I enjoy high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but say nothing and accomplish nothing. I go up and down, just like a puppet. Shao Taibai can break it with force.
The enemy, Wen, can calm the people, but I am not as good as him. It is not easy for him in Henan. He is exhausted in the four battles, but there are still people holding him back. Alas, if he continues, the national affairs will be ruined."
"Mr. Liang..." Yan Ding felt cold in his heart. Was he unwilling to go to Wancheng?
Fu Chang is also slightly disappointed. But he has a good attitude and is not as eager for fame and wealth as Yan Ding. If he doesn't want to go, he won't go.
Everyone is tinkering in the court, trying to survive, take it one step at a time.
"Ming Gong." An old servant came from outside the hall. After glancing at Fu Chang, Yan Ding and others, he went straight to Liang Fen and whispered: "There is news from the palace that the emperor is very dissatisfied with Ming Gong's 'illness'.
, got furious and will come to the house to visit the patient soon, and said...said..."
"What did you say?" Liang Fen asked with a frown.
"If you are unable to get up, you can take a carriage to your post," the old servant said.
Liang Fen suddenly laughed, laughing so hard that tears came out.
Yan Ding, Fu Chang looked at him in confusion.
Liang Fen waved her hand, looked at the grass and trees swaying in the wind in the courtyard, and sighed: "People are like grass and grass, even the ministers are not exempt from it."
