Yang Hu sent the memorial and letters, then went to the Shaofu to meet Ma Jun to discuss matters, and then returned home to visit his mother.
He won't be able to stay at home for long. When Ma Jun prepares his schedule, Yang Hu will go to Jingzhou with Ma Jun.
Before setting off, Yang Hu has to meet with Wang Chen several times. It is best to ask his friend Wang Chen to introduce him in his home letter. This is because Yang Hu and Ma Jun are going to Jingzhou for business, and Wang Chang, the governor of Jingyu, is Wang Chen. Wang Chen was raised by his uncle, who was almost like his father.
When he visited his mother, his sister Yang Huiyu was also present. Yang Huiyu asked a lot about Guanzhong. Yang Hu had been working in Guanzhong before, but during the conversation, he felt that his sister seemed to be more concerned about Qin Zhongming's affairs.
However, this is not surprising. One of the Yang brothers and sisters is Xiahou Ba's son-in-law, and the other is Sima Shi's wife. Now Xiahou Ba and Sima Shi are both in Shuhan. At this time, only Qin Zhongming is sincerely trying to win over the people in power in the court. Sheep family.
Not only Yang Huiyu, but also his aunt Xin Xianying paid close attention to Qin Zhongming.
Yang Hu's father had passed away, his brother Yang Fa was in Huaibei, and only his uncle Yang Dan was left in Luoyang. His uncle's house was nearby, so Yang Hu rushed to visit his uncle. Yang Huiyu also followed.
After chatting for a while, my aunt Xin Xianying heard about what happened in Hanzhong, and she looked very surprised.
Upon seeing this, Yang Hu said: "I was not prepared for everything, and I have fulfilled my duty of admonition. But General Wei thinks that the opportunity is rare, and he has already made up his mind."
Xin Xianying wore a simple cloth scarf on her head, and her temperament was quite a bit like a resourceful scholar. She said: "The key is that the Shu Han army was more prepared this time. When Cao Zhaobo led an army of 100,000 to attack Hanzhong, it was precisely because he discovered Hanzhong The military strength is insufficient, only more than 20,000 people; most of Shu's troops are still in Fu County, and the distant water cannot save the nearby fire.
Cao Zhaobo also followed the Tangluo Road, but returned without success and almost lost his army in Qinchuan. Qin Zhongming's situation in Guanzhong was better than Cao Zhaobo's at that time; but Jiang Wei's military strength in Hanzhong was not comparable to that of Wang Ping. "
Yang Huiyu suddenly asked: "Is it dangerous for General Wei to go to Hanzhong?"
Xin Xianying's younger brother Xin Chang was also in Qin Liang's army. Xin Xianying's little movements looked a little nervous. She stretched out her slender fingers from her wide sleeves and made a gesture. Then she put them away again and said in a deep voice: "Qin Zhongming can be called a famous general." , we should be able to escape unscathed."
Yang Hu echoed: "General Qin must have his own considerations."
Xin Xianying looked back at her husband, Yang Dan, and whispered: "After Guo Boji's death, General Wei wanted to mobilize Yongliang's troops to start a war. Once each troop went to the battlefield, they would have their merits and demerits. At that time, he would win over the generals in the middle. , rewards and punishments will be easier. I don’t think this battle will have much results. As long as Qin Zhongming uses his troops conservatively and does not suffer a big defeat, he will not suffer losses. It is not good for his reputation, but he has gained practical benefits."
Yang Dan immediately agreed with Xianying's speculation.
Yang Hu did not refute his aunt's opinion. He also felt that this was probably the case.
In the Wei Dynasty, people's opinions and actions were often for the sake of power, rather than really wanting to do any great cause. Maybe Qin Zhongming is not immune to this?
Xin Xianying also commented: "Qin Zhongming is only in his twenties, but he has some mature plans."
Today, Yang Hu rushed to do some business and came back to visit his uncle late. It was already dark. The sister and brother stayed soon and then bowed to their uncle and aunt to say goodbye. Xin Xianying warmly invited her, calling her Yang Hu. Come over for lunch tomorrow at noon.
Yang Hu made an appointment until the evening, and he had to visit Wang Chen tomorrow.
...The memorial from the Western Front was sent to Shangshu Province and Zhongshu Province. Within two days, many ministers in the court knew about it. Qin Lang's official position was Zongzheng, but he was one of the Nine Qings. There were some important matters to be discussed in the palace, or The ministers discussed privately, and he often participated in it, so he also heard about it.
Qin Lang is in charge of the affairs of the royal family and relatives, and he should also be in charge of the affairs of Princess Jinxiang's family. Moreover, Princess Jinxiang is his half-sister, so Qin Lang often goes to his sister's house.
When he arrived at Princess Jinxiang's house, Qin Lang naturally talked about Qin Zhongming's attack on Hanzhong, which was a big event recently.
Qin Lang sighed with some worry: "This battle is not easy to fight."
As soon as these words came out, He Jun, who was standing aside, immediately regained his energy and immediately looked at Qin Lang's expression to see if Qin Lang was telling the truth.
Princess Jinxiang, the mother-in-law, almost never meets male guests alone, no matter what age or relationship they are. He Jun's teenage cousin comes to He's house. If He Jun happens not to be at home, his cousin will not even be able to see the host.
Although Qin Lang is the elder brother of Princess Jinxiang, Princess Jinxiang will also call He Jun when she receives her brother.
Qin Lang served as Zongzheng's official. After returning to Luoyang, he had nothing to do with military power. But of course He Jun knew that his uncle was actually a military general, and his ability to lead troops in battle was as good as anyone else. At that time, Qin Lang was a general in the Central Army in Luoyang, leading When the soldiers attacked the Xianbei people, Qin Liang was still farming in Jizhou.
My uncle has almost never lost a battle. He Jun believes in his knowledge!
Seeing his uncle Qin Lang standing up from the banquet and pacing around the room, He Jun suddenly started looking forward to the war in Hanzhong! It seemed that Qin Liang was likely to be defeated?
Princess Jinxiang asked: "Should Zhongming also be able to calculate the outcome?"
Qin Lang turned back and said: "Maybe his views are different from mine, and it's hard to say whether we will win or lose, but this battle should be quite dangerous."
He sat back on his seat and continued: "When I first heard the content of the memorial, I was very surprised. Judging from the previous battles, Zhongming was a relatively safe man in military affairs. At the beginning, Sima Yi and Guanqiu Jian's troops were both More than Zhongming, but those two battles were forced and could not be fought. This time it is different, the Battle of Hanzhong does not need to be fought."
He Jun finally couldn't help but said: "Ten years ago, Qin Liang was a weakling. He went to Taixue to study for two years and was still out of tune with everyone. People like him can easily get carried away once they succeed. How can their character be so different? Compared to uncle?"
When he said this, he glanced sideways at his mother and said, "Qin Liang is a young man in his twenties. After clinging to a powerful person, he has gained a lot of power, but can his nature be changed?"
Princess Jinxiang noticed He Jun's eyes and frowned.
Qin Lang shook his head and said: "If the Wang family didn't see that Zhong Ming was an outstanding person, how could they marry their legitimate daughter to him? Besides, ordinary people can't do great things even if they marry into the Wang family."
He Jun could only "hum" softly.
Qin Lang turned to look at He Jun's face, and said earnestly: "Logically, Zhongming and our family are relatives, and Boyun (He Jun) was Zhongming's classmate in Taixue. You two get along well with each other, which is of great benefit to the He family." Something beneficial.”
When he said this, he glanced at Lu with a casual look, "Some grudges are over in the past. I heard that there are just rumors, but nothing actually happened."
Mrs. Lu opened her thin lips slightly, hesitated to speak, and finally averted her eyes without saying a word.
Mentioning old things, He Jun suddenly felt mixed emotions in his heart.
At first, He Jun always disliked Qin Liang because he was indeed related to the Lu family. But now he suspected that Qin Liang actually had something to do with his mother, Princess Jinxiang! Therefore, the hatred in his heart became even worse.
He Jun comes from a wealthy family and is actually knowledgeable about current affairs. Of course he knows that his uncle's words are reasonable. Sometimes he also thinks about the pros and cons, but as soon as some thoughts and pictures pop into his mind, his emotions will rush to the top of his head and he can't help it.
For example, the words and deeds of his mother, Princess Jinxiang, are very grand. She may not want to lie passively under Qin Liang. He Jun will imagine some scenes on his own, guessing his mother's movements and expressions when sitting, and even seem to be able to see the other side.
The way his black hair was swaying. At the same time, he found it a bit hard to imagine how someone as pure, dignified and generous as his grandmother could change her normal behavior and act like that?
He Jun felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't help but think about it. Because even pain, as long as the emotion is strong enough, can easily occupy a person's heart; it is much stronger than the feeling caused by Wu Shi San.
He Jun did not expect that Qin Liang, whom he had not paid much attention to in Taixue before, would become the person he paid most attention to over the years and the person who hurt him the most.
What made him even more angry was that Qin Zhongming, who had hurt him greatly, didn't care about him at all! Now He Jun couldn't argue with Qin Liang and could only curse this man silently behind his back.
At this time, the voice of Princess Jinxiang said: "When General Cao Zhaobo attacked Hanzhong with an army of 100,000 people, he could only return in defeat. How about brother send a letter to Guanzhong to remind Zhongming?"
Qin Lang pondered and said: "The king, Qin, and the Linghu family are in charge of the military affairs of the imperial court. I am only Zongzheng now, so I shouldn't have any say in the military affairs." He thought for a while and then said, "And Zhongming fought bigger battles than me.
, there were nearly 200,000 people on both sides in the battle of Yiqueguan, and there were more than 100,000 people in the battle of Julu. If I talk about military use in front of Zhongming, I might be laughed at by him."
Princess Jinxiang said: "Bo Yun is right. Zhong Ming is young after all. Even if he is very talented, he will inevitably make mistakes sometimes. He is different from a veteran like Brother."
She paused for a moment, and her tone became a little anxious, "No official document is needed, I am Zhongming's clan brother, just write a letter home."
Qin Lang finally nodded and said: "You can do it this way."
He Jun spoke again: "Qin Liang has a lot of troops and is in the limelight. Those who can't be persuaded will have to suffer a little."
Princess Jinxiang turned her head and glanced at him.
At this time, He Jun couldn't help but start to imagine Qin Liang's defeat. At first, a scene appeared in his mind. Qin Liang was surrounded on the mountain, and the soldiers were hungry. Then Qin Liang pulled out his sword and killed himself.
But He Jun felt that something was missing, and he suddenly realized that he did not want to see Qin Liang die!
If Qin Liang died like this, wouldn't He Jun's hatred for the past ten years be in vain? What He Jun most wants to see is that Qin Liang and Wang Lingdu lose power due to the defeat, and Qin Liang is beaten back to his original form.
And He Jun's mother is still a princess, and his wife, Lu, is also a noble family, and her background will not change. At that time, Qin Liang still had to fawn over and befriend He Jun! He Jun could find ways to humiliate him again and slowly torture him! This kind of thing
He Jun is very familiar with things. In the past, he and Deng Yang played tricks on Zang Ai's aunt. In fact, the source of their interest was not the woman, but Zang Ai.
When He Jun thought of this, he suddenly felt a little excited and just wanted to have some Five Stone Powder to cheer him up.
