Gai Jun smiled bitterly and said: "Wentai, you underestimate Dong Zhuo. He has been in the northwest for decades. Although he is old, he is not someone who can be bullied. What's more, if you and I work together to defeat him, don't Dong Zhuo know how to do it?"
Looking for help?"
"Help? Who? Jincheng Han Sui?" Sun Jian had participated in countering rebellions in Western Xinjiang, and he immediately guessed the person Gai Jun was alluding to.
"Yes, Han Sui..." Gai Jun touched the distance and said with infinite emotion: "From the second year of Zhongping (185 AD) to the fifth year of Zhongping (188 AD), Han Sui entered three auxiliaries and fought against the country alone. Dong Zhuo entered Beijing.
Afterwards, he turned his troops and crossed the river to the west. In two years, all four counties in Hexi were surrendered. Recently, Wudu County was conquered. In addition to the three counties of Jincheng, Longxi and Hanyang that he had previously occupied, Liangzhou accounted for eight of the ten counties.
Lu Shuihu, all the Qiang and Di are willing to fight to the death, and they lead tens of thousands of Han and Hu knights, and their strength is not inferior to ours..."
"The general has said too much." Sun Jian said with disdain: "Han Sui is a scholar who only knows methods but not military skills. No matter how many soldiers and horses he has, I still regard him as a chicken and a dog. He can't win a battle."
Ding. If Zhou Shenruo, the bandit general, had followed my advice, Han Sui would have captured him long ago. How could he be allowed to wreak havoc in the western frontier and bring harm to the country?"
Gai Jun smiled and said: "Wen Tai underestimates the heroes of the world, so be careful about suffering losses in the future."
"In my opinion, the only ones who can be called heroes today are me and the general, and the rest are not worth mentioning." Sun Jian said here, suddenly remembered something, and said: "In the past when we were conquering the Yellow Turban bandits, the general and I were
, we had a great conversation with Cao Mengde. Cao Mengde had great strategies, many plans, and thousands of soldiers in his chest. I thought he would be able to prevail one day. I didn’t want to kill tens of thousands of people in Luoyang last year, only to be defeated at the hands of Xu Rong.
Almost dead and unable to recover, I am really disappointed."
"Cao Cao..." Gai Jun shook his head subconsciously. It has been two years since Dong Zhuo entered the capital, and Cao Cao still doesn't have a piece of territory that belongs to him. Gai Jun doesn't know whether the real history is like this, or whether his arrival has changed his original trajectory. He
I even doubt whether "Emperor Wei Wu" can still rise?
It should be possible... Before Yuan Shao conquers Hebei, Henan needs a spokesperson to resist the invasion of Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, and Cao Cao, who knows the military, is undoubtedly the best candidate. As long as Yuan Shao has this need, Cao Cao can always get a piece of territory.
What about Liu Bei? As far as Gai Jun knows, he served as the county magistrate of Gaotang County in the Qingzhou Plain Country, with only two hundred stones. The latest news is that he was moved to the county magistrate of Qianshi because he repeatedly resisted the Qingxu Yellow Turban and saved a county.
In the Han Dynasty, those with more than 10,000 households were county magistrates, and those with less than 10,000 households were county magistrates. Although the population under his rule exceeded 10,000 households, Gai Jun had 13 counties and was in charge of more than 100 counties. Comparing the two, Liu Bei had the best
He's really in a bit of a mess, because his family background is so bad.
If nothing unexpected happens, his life will end here. Historically, he relied on Gongsun Zan to enter the general trend of the world. Now Gongsun Zan cannot protect himself, and his future situation is not optimistic.
However, outstanding people are outstanding people. Gai Jun believes that both Cao Cao and Liu Bei will occupy a place in this troubled world. It doesn't take much, as long as they are given a chance. They may taste it quickly due to lack of foundation, too strong enemies, etc.
The taste of failure, but at the same time, they will also use one opportunity to breed more opportunities, experiencing rise, failure, rise, failure, rise... perseverance, until they grow into heroes that attract the attention of the world.
This is the gap between outstanding people and ordinary people, just like Sun Jian in front of him.
Sun Jian felt reluctant and said: "General, really can't you follow me to the west to fight against thieves?"
Gai Jun thought for a while and said, "It's not that it's not possible. If Wentai decides to Hongnong, Gu will order troops from Hedong to cross the river and meet you at Huayin." Huayin County is located in the westernmost part of Hongnong County, less than 300 meters away from Chang'an.
Li Gaijun added: "Another Guhui used the people from the north to restrain Han Sui so that he could not help Dong Zhuo, so as to ensure the smooth elimination of the thieves."
Sun Jian's eyes narrowed, and Gai Jun's words were very clear. As long as Hongnong was captured, he would send troops. Although Hongnong was difficult to conquer, Sun Jian was fully confident that he would capture Hongnong within a month. Gai Jun would be true to his words, and Dong Zhuo
The first conferment is just around the corner.
"It's a promise." Sun Jian stretched out his hand and wanted to high-five Gai Jun as an oath.
"Pa" Gai Jun raised his hands to palms, and then an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which was profound.
Sun Jian felt that it was not too late, so he marched his army to Hangu Pass the next day, preparing to march to Hongnong. After Sun Jian left, there was nothing to do for a while, and Gai Jun finally found time to discuss with everyone the affairs of Yin and Luoyang in Henan.
The importance of Luoyang in the eyes of the world is unparalleled. Needless to say, should we move the government here? Gai Jun's counselors started a fierce dispute over this. Hanoi Yang Jun, Henan Zheng Hun and others supported the attitude. They
It is believed that Luoyang is the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty. It lives in the world and has the effect of a leader. If he takes over Luoyang, Gai Jun's reputation will rise to a height that no one can reach. Gai Jun can even order the princes to reorganize.
Discuss the Dong Alliance and integrate the forces in Guandong...
Jia Xu retorted one by one, saying that Luoyang was too sensitive. Although Gai Jun's rule of Luoyang attracted the attention of the world, he was also easily jealous. The reason why the founder Guangwu made Luoyang the capital was that Guanzhong was in ruins and required countless manpower.
material resources, but the country was initially settled, the imperial court was poor and unable to rebuild. Secondly, from chaos to rule, Luoyang, who lived in the world, was able to coordinate all directions and take care of everything. Today, it is in troubled times, the states are unequal, Luoyang is attacked on three sides, and there is no way to rebuild.
Danger can be defended, such as taking control of Luoyang and establishing a trapped dragon. Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an. Although he was criticized by the world, it was a wise choice. If he did not leave, he would be captured now.
What surprised Gai Jun was that Xun Yu, as a native of Yingchuan, also opposed it. He said that in the past, when Emperor Gaozu protected Guanzhong and Guangwu occupied Hanoi, he had deep roots and consolidated his roots to control the world.
Defeated and finally helped the great cause. The general entered Bingzhou three years ago to protect the Xiongnu Zhonglang general, quelled the Hu invaders, and settled the refugees. The soldiers and the people were all heartily convinced. River, Shuo, is an important place in the world, the general's Guanzhong, Hanoi, and marched to the south.
Forcing Chang'an is like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, and there is no defense. Moreover, the city of Luoyang is empty and cannot be filled by tens of thousands of people. Where do the people come from? Even if there are people, how can they be supported?
Gai Jun was deeply lost in thought. In fact, the dispute between the two sides was about Gai Jun's future strategic route. Yang Jun and Zheng Hun wanted to use Luoyang to command Guandong, integrate the prefectures and counties, and then remove Dong, and finally achieve the goal of pacifying the world.
.But Jia Xu and Xun Yu wanted to kill Dong Zhuo first, guard Guanzhong, and move eastward to control the princes.
An ordinary person might have thought about it for a long time and considered it over and over again, but Gai Jun knew this history and knew that Yang Jun and Zheng Hun's path would not work, so he quickly had a choice and decided to adopt Jia Xu and Xun Yu's suggestions.
Gai Jun has made a decision, and the next step is Henan Yin's problem.
The two counties of Yin in Henan, Gucheng and Henan, west of Luoyang, suffered from Dong Zhuo's disaster. Hundreds of miles of uninhabited people were completely deserted. It will take more than three to five years to restore the old appearance. Luoyang is connected from Daguguan to Nanliang
The counties and counties in Xincheng were temporarily occupied by Sun Jian. As the rear area for attacking Dong Zhuo, it was not suitable to ask for help at this time. Pingyin, Pingxian and other places in the north were in the hands of Gai Jun. To the east, dozens of counties were in their own hands. Xun Yu,
Yang Jun and Zheng Hun believed that Gai Jun's top priority was to appoint a new Henan Yin as soon as possible and personally lead an army to patrol the counties eastward to stabilize people's hearts.
Gai Jun agreed and decided to set off in three days. As for the candidate for Henan Yin, it was a headache for him. Henan Yin was not that easy to be chosen. He not only needed the ability of a herdsman, but also had military strategy and skill, all of which were indispensable.
Gai Jun had several candidates in mind, but none of them were suitable. For example, the governor of Hedong, his friend Zang Hong, was very suitable for governing the place. However, Hedong was also an important area and could not be touched lightly. Bao Hong, the governor of Shuofang, once served as You Fufeng to fight against Han Sui.
The rebel had established military exploits and was good at governing the people, so he was a good choice. However, Shuofang had just been recovered not long ago and had not yet flourished, so it was not suitable to relocate. The most famous scholar in the North, Wang Yi and Wang Wendu, were as famous as Fu Xie.
He was both civil and military, but he was only promoted to the governor of Dingxiang last year, and he was promoted to Yin of Henan this year. He was promoted too quickly and might attract criticism.
In fact, the best candidate was none other than my father, Gai Xun, the Northern Governor. He had served as Zuo Fengyi, Henan Yin, and Jing Zhaoyin successively, and was well-versed in political affairs, military affairs, and reputation. However, Gai Jun did not dare to use it.
Gai Jun thought about it a lot, but couldn't think of a good candidate.
Seeing Gai Jun's entangled look, Jia Xu proposed three candidates, one was General Huwei Gai Yin, the second was General Yingyang Zhonglang Yang (Feng) A'ruo, and the third was Yanmen Prefect Guo Yu. Originally, Jia Xu recommended the first choice.
The man was Ma Teng, the general who conquered the Liao Dynasty, but he knew very well that there was a bad relationship between the two of them and it was hard for him to open his mouth.
Gai Jun couldn't help but was stunned, okay, there are three candidates, one is his nephew and the other is his brother-in-law, and they are both military generals. Jia Xu recommends them so nakedly, he really doesn't shy away from me when he recommends talents.
Jia Xu smiled and said that Henan Yin was extremely important, military affairs were more important than civil affairs, and people must be close to him.
Gai Jun was thoughtful. He had always focused on outsiders. The fundamental reason was that he still did not want to give the world the impression of nepotism. The problem was that the Han Dynasty was an era of nepotism, such as Sun Jian, his brother-in-law Wu Jing, and his nephew Sun Bi.
More than 20 people, including the clan nephews Sun He and Sun Xiang, all occupied important positions. Cao Cao also made important use of the Cao family and the Xia Hou family. This was the case.
The Gai family was the leading wealthy family in Dunhuang, with hundreds of relatives. Gai Jun always complained that he had no one, and envied Cao Cao for having Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu and other great talents to help him. Is this really the case?
He never deliberately looked for famous generals from the Three Kingdoms. He believed that there were only a few natural geniuses after all. Rather than attracting famous generals who were "inexperienced", it was better to cultivate talents by himself. Since he had this idea, why did he turn a blind eye to his own family? So much so that the Gai clan
Many people served as officials in Beidi County, including his cousins Gai Hong and Gai Hui.
Have you been too harsh before?...
Gai Jun tapped the tables lightly with his index finger, and after a long time he came back to his senses and said: "What Wen He said is true. In my opinion, the powerful general Gai Yin is both civil and military, and he can be the Yin of Henan..."
