"It's okay. Although stirrups are powerful, they are simple and easy to learn. I had expected this day..." Gai Junqiang smiled and said to Cai Wan.
Putting down the information, Gai Jun frowned and thought carefully. In addition to the insider leaking the secrets, there was also the possibility of being exposed when the troops entered Jizhou early this year. However, Gai Jun thought he should be careful. He once carefully investigated the soldiers who surrendered in Jizhou and brought all the people who discovered the secrets with him.
Returning to Bingzhou, including the seriously injured Jizhou famous generals Gao Lan and Yan Liang, they risked becoming enemies with Yuan Shao.
"Who could it be?..." Gai Jun was confused. As the saying goes, one person can think short and two people can make mistakes. Cai Wan has always had a plan, so he did not shy away from his wife and discussed it with her.
Cai Wan groaned and used the elimination method, first eliminating the direct descendants with the least threat, and then narrowing down the scope. Finally, the people of Hengshan were the most suspected. This idea coincided with Gai Jun. After all, most of the people in Hengshan were from Jizhou, so it was easy to
By Yuan Shao youhuo.
However, a difficult problem looms in front of him. Gai Jun now has tens of thousands of Montenegrin soldiers, including dozens of lieutenants and commanders. Investigation is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Cai Wan first suspected Hanoi. Hanoi is the closest to Jizhou, and Yuan Shao once stationed his army in Chaoge for a year. Maybe he learned the secret actively or passively during this period.
Gai Jun frowned slightly. Although the Hanoi general Huang Zhong was not directly from Liangzhou, he was also a veteran who had followed him for five years. Gai Jun did not want to doubt him, but what Cai Wan said next was right. Huang Zhong
Although it is credible, it is difficult to tell about the people under his command. You must know that under his command are not only people from Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Hanoi, but also people from Jizhou...
"The focus is Hengshan, Hanoi..." Gai Jun tapped his index finger on the food table, making a decision in his mind.
Gai Jun then thought that Yuan Shao's plans for the world were very involved. Now that he knew the secret of the stirrups, it would be difficult to keep the secret. However, Yuan Shao's Jizhou was not rich in war horses, so it had little impact for a while. Dong Zhuo, on the other hand, later
He had tens of thousands of cavalry under his command. Once equipped with stirrups and horseshoes, he would not only be on par with him, but also have the capital to fight. Fortunately, his life was short. His death was due to the irreconcilable conflict with the Chang'an scholars and the military.
Nothing to do.
What is even more noteworthy are the changes outside the Great Wall. Since the death of Xianbei King Tanshihuaai, Xianbei is no longer united and has a tendency to split. Helianyi died, and his son Qianman was young and not able to convince the public. His nephew, the leader, was named
He temporarily took the throne, but actually stole power. The Xianbei royal court in Danhan Mountain has existed in name only, and the grassland has entered a situation of separatism among the heroes earlier than the Central Plains.
The stirrup seems to have been prepared for nomads. Its appearance may make the grassland more chaotic, or may promote its early unification.
At that time, the threat from the grassland peoples to the Han people will be unprecedented, far greater than that of Maodun and Tanshihuai at their peak. Moreover, even if the grasslands have not yet been unified, the other side will have the capital to enter the Han territory to fight the autumn wind, so it is not appropriate to allocate too many troops in the future.
The military strength has left Bingzhou empty, and to take advantage of it, a considerable size of infantry and cavalry should also be stationed at the border to deal with it...
Gai Jun had a lot of thoughts and was in a daze for more than two moments. When he came back to his senses, a bowl of hot minced meat was placed on the table. He didn't even notice when Cai Wan went out to prepare for midnight snack, and held it
The wife held up her hand and said: "Wan'er, how many times have I told you that I didn't ask for food, so you don't need to do it. If you can't eat, isn't it a waste?"
Cai Wan said gently: "Eat as much as you can, even a bite."
Gai Jun had no choice but to follow his words and reluctantly ate less than half of the bowl. Then the two of them joined hands on the couch and headed to Wushan together.
The next morning, Wei Zhongdao woke up early. It could be seen from the slightly dark circles under his eyes that he had suffered from insomnia last night. When Zhang Zhongjing arrived, he could tell at a glance that his words stopped and finally turned into a sigh. Staying up late is the most harmful to the body, but the other party
I suddenly heard that I was terminally ill and had such symptoms. It is human nature and should not be discussed in detail.
After Zhang Zhongjing carefully examined his body, he slightly modified one of the three previous formulas, cooked the medicine and ordered Wei Zhongdao to take it. He vaguely advised the patient to be organized in his daily life, and left with the medicine box on his back.
Gai Jun used to have three major characteristics in life: drinking, sleeping in, and being informal. In the eyes of others, these are not advantages. The former has been forcibly regulated by Cai Wan and has been restrained, but the latter two have not changed much.
xing is like this.
For example, today, Gai Jun slept until the sun was shining again. Don't think that he got up on his own initiative. This kind of thing will never happen. He couldn't stand his wife Cai Wan's frequent and noisy urging, so he lazily got up.
He closed his sleepy eyes, opened his arms, and while enjoying his wife dressing him, he murmured and complained: "It's the end of Chen time and the beginning of Mao time (nine o'clock). Why are you urging me? Can't you just let me sleep a little longer?"
"
Cai Wan's movements on her hands were extremely gentle, but she said angrily: "It's already past breakfast time. If I don't call you, why don't you just sleep until lunch? Even the two-year-old Yishui (Gai Ba) wakes up earlier than you.
Are you ashamed of your father?"
"Why should I be ashamed?" Gai Jun muttered: "Don't you think about it, I worked hard last night and my back was so tired that I couldn't sleep until lunch."
"Shut up." Cai Wan said angrily. Even though she had been sleeping with her for more than ten years, she could not stand her husband's straightforward words.
Gai Jun didn't dare to provoke his wife anymore, but he couldn't help but said in his heart: "You are the one who behaves when you get an advantage. It's shameless..." It is said that Guan Yu's concubines numbered more than ten, and Gai Jun felt sincere admiration.
At the same time, I can't help but wonder, can he really satisfy everyone? Of course, men in this era are different from modern times, and there is no need to consider what women think.
"Father, Mom, I'm coming..." There was a bang on the door, and Gaimo came in shouting.
Cai Wan's temples were beating hard...
After her careful management, a lazy man with little momentum became the most majestic overlord of Northern Xinjiang. Just to deal with Gaimu, a little guy who kept making noises next to him, the time he went out was more than doubled.
The three of them came to the living room. Bian Wei, Gai Yi, and Cai Yan were accompanying Wei Zhongdao. Wang Can was talking, and everyone's eyes were focused on Gai Jun. The latter said without blushing, "I was handling state affairs last night until
It’s dawn, it’s late to get up.”
Cai Wan pretended not to listen, took Gaimo's hand and sat next to Bian Wei.
Anyone who knows Gai Jun knows that he is lying, but outsiders don't know it. Wang Can sincerely admires him and says: "No wonder Bingzhou is what it is today. It's all thanks to the general's contribution."
"Where, where..." Gai Jun pretended to be humble and said, "Zhongdao, has Dr. Zhang been here?" He had already learned the details from Cai Wan, but he was just looking for words.
Wei Zhongdao nodded in agreement and said he had taken the decoction.
Gai Jun took the opportunity to comfort him with a few words.
Wei Zhongdao clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Thank you, General. If the general hadn't invited Dr. Zhang, I would have died a few years earlier. If I had delayed Miss Cai's life, I would have died in peace."
A complicated look flashed in Cai Yan's eyes, and he lowered his head and said nothing.
Wei Zhongdao added: "I wrote a letter last night to explain to Cai Zhonglang why this marriage is cancelled." When he said the word "give up," Wei Zhongdao's mouth trembled slightly. Yesterday morning, he was still a promising man.
A handsome young man was about to marry an enviable wife with both talent and beauty. Unexpectedly, he would end up with such a miserable end that afternoon.
Gai Jun comforted him and said: "Zhongdao, there is no need to lose heart. I also know a miracle doctor. His surname is Hua and his given name is Yuanhua. He is from Peiguo, Yuzhou. His medical skills are as good as those of Zhang. Maybe he can cure you." So he said,
Gai Jun was not very confident. Hua Tuo had excellent medical skills both internally and externally, and could be called an all-rounder. However, Zhang Zhongjing was a master of medicine, so he might not be as good as Zhang Zhongjing.
Since Gai Jun said so, it must be true. It is better to have hope than no hope. Chief Wei Zhong bowed and thanked him.
Wei Zhongdao needed to stay in Jinyang for long-term observation. Wang Can was not necessary, but he had no relatives or friends in Chang'an, and the situation was gloomy. Gai Jun also stayed because he was similar to his late close friend Chen Yi, who treated him very well and responded to all requests.
Living in Jinyang. Gai Jun was very happy about this. He took him with him almost all the time regardless of official status, which made Ma Chao extremely jealous and Fu Qian also felt vaguely threatened.
Wei Zhongdao actively cooperated with the treatment for more than a month and received some good news from Zhang Zhongjing that made him happy. His body responded well to the decoction. If no major accidents occurred during the period, Zhang Zhongjing was confident that he could survive his thirties.
. He is nineteen years old this year, and it is already winter, and it is about to be the first day of the new year. In other words, he probably has ten more years to live.
In the blink of an eye, the land of Bingzhou ushered in the first heavy snowfall in the second year of Chuping (AD 191).
The heavy snow is falling one after another, and the snowflakes are like catkins or cotton hua, flying or circling, falling from the sky, and the heaven and earth, houses, pavilions, pavilions, and pavilions are withered in the heavy snow.
The children were chasing each other and playing in the silver-covered courtyard. The tiger-headed Gaiba barged in. Gaimo caught a glimpse of him, rolled the snow into a ball, and hit it accurately on his chest. Gaiba staggered and sat on the ground, blinking.
, howling loudly.
Gai Yi immediately took three steps at a time to help his younger brother, patting him and comforting him. Gaimo stood beside him, laughing non-stop.
The courtyard was full of laughter and laughter.
Gai Jun, Cai Wan, and Bian Wei were all standing in the corridor wearing luxurious white fur clothes. From the tip of their noses being red from the cold, you could tell that they had been standing outside for a long time. Unlike his second wife who concentrated on watching the children playing, Gai Jun thought silently.
With the newly obtained information about Youzhou.
Gongsun Zan could not withstand Yuan Shao's powerful offensive in early winter and withdrew from Jizhou. He ignored the summons of Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, and led nearly 10,000 remnant troops back to his hometown of Liaoxi County in the east of Youzhou. Liu Yu was furious and wanted to attack him.
With Zheng majesty, the state was engaged in Gongsun discipline. Cheng Xu persuaded Dong Cao to send Wei You and said: "Today, the people are leading the country, and the public is the return, and the advisers and minions are indispensable. Gongsun Zan has sufficient civil and military talents to rely on, although he has small evildoers.
, It is better to tolerate it.] Liu Yu Naizhi.
Gongsun Zan returned to western Liaoning and quickly took over the county affairs. Because he had served as the governor of Linjun in the east of Liaoning, Wuwan in the territory had participated in Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju, and Qiu Liju's rebellion. He was known to be brave and vicious, and he was as bloodthirsty as life, and everyone was afraid of him.
Because of its power, the kings and great lords led their kind of people to join him.
As we all know, in the past, Emperor Guangwu, the ancestor of the ancestors, used Youxi Shanggu and Yuyang to pacify the world. Today, the two counties are gradually declining, and they are replaced by Youdong, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong. Needless to say, Gongsun Zan, Sun Jian
Under his command are two generals, Cheng Pu and Han Danghengha. The former is from Youbeiping and the latter is from Liaoxi. It can be said that the three counties are full of talented people.
Now, Gongsun Zan has taken over western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, and three counties occupy two of them, and his strength has been greatly restored.
To the east of the Liaodong vassal state is Liaodong County. The year before last, Gongsun Du, a native of Liaodong, saw that the world was in chaos. After being introduced by Xu Rong from the same county, he approached Dong Zhuo.
A person from this county was appointed as the governor. Last year, the world was in chaos, so Gongsun Du killed the Han officials and powerful hundreds of families. He cleared the obstacles and established himself as the shepherd of Pingzhou.
Liaodong was originally a large county in the east of Youzhou, with a population of more than 300,000. Gongsundu took advantage of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban across the sea to wreak havoc, making the people miserable and recruiting hundreds of thousands of people.
For Gongsun Zan, who only had a population of more than 200,000 under his rule, the power of Liaodong County was not small. What attracted him even more was the close connection between Liaodong and Qingzhou. His subordinates Tian Kai and Liu Bei were fighting hard in Qingzhou. If he could win
Liaodong can help the two of them, and can bypass Yuan Shao of Jizhou and directly participate in the game of hegemony in the Central Plains. Therefore, Gongsun Du flattered Dong Zhuo, killed Han officials in vain, established a reputation, and attempted rebellion.
With 20,000 soldiers and 10,000 Wuwan cavalry, he marched eastward to Liaodong County.
Gongsun Du was not an easy person and responded forcefully. The two sides fought in Liaoduan County, Liaodong, and the situation became a stalemate.
Gai Jun was awakened by a burst of piercing children's screams and couldn't help laughing. Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du faced off. The world is becoming more and more interesting.
"Soon, soon..."
"Next year, in Guanzhong, Dong will die, and King Qin will hold the emperor hostage to order the princes. That's not right..." A faint smile appeared at the corner of Gai Jun's mouth, "Hold, this title is too unpleasant. It should be to serve the emperor to ward off ministers and to assist the king.
To use the name Tianxia, he is not a traitor to the country, but a Qi, Huan..."
Cai Wan turned her head and stared at her husband's tough, knife-cut profile. His peerless face became extremely soft, and she guessed that he had thought of something to smile so beautifully. Just as Cai Wan was about to turn his gaze back, he suddenly felt a surge in his chest.
Ups and downs, he hurriedly held on to the pillars of the cloister, leaned over and retched again and again.
Gai Jun suddenly woke up, caressed his wife's back, and said blankly: "You, don't you have it?"
Cai Wan was also moved in her heart. She had recently noticed that she had been terminally ill since she was a child. Although she was cured by Zhang Zhongjing's wonderful hands, she and Gai Jun had only given birth to one child for more than ten years. She thought that she would not have any more children, so she gave birth to no more children.
I thought this way. Now it seems that it is probably true.
Gai Jun asked again and again: "Wan'er, you have it? Really? Really?..."
Cai Wan was speechless, obviously lost in huge surprise.
Bian Wei stood with a smile on her face. Suddenly, a strange look appeared on her face. Soon, she joined Cai Wan.
Watching his second wife retching side by side, Gai Jun gently rubbed his forehead with his right hand and murmured to himself: "So accurate? Could it be that he has a bad stomach?..."
"..."
Of course, Gai Jun didn't really think that his second wife had a bad stomach. All the ingredients in the Cavalry General's Mansion were carefully selected. Ever since they moved in, two people had never had a bad stomach at the same time. The chance was infinitely close to zero. The reason why he was like this
He said that he was just at a loss when faced with the huge surprise. Especially Cai Wan. She had been silent for six years since she gave birth to Gaimo. Not only did Cai Wan give up, he also gave up. This surprise was really big enough.
..
According to past practice, Zhang Zhongjing would arrive in half an hour to check Wei Zhongdao's body, but Gai Jun obviously did not have the patience to wait that "long". He immediately summoned the prison slave and asked him to go to the governor's department to pick up Zhang Zhongjing and bring him to the house with four horses.
Horse drawn carriage.
The prison slave took the order and trotted away.
At this time, the children who were playing also noticed something unusual and rushed over. Gai Yi was a little older and generally understood, but Gaimo asked nervously: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
"
Since he knew that his second wife was pregnant, it was not advisable to stay outside for a long time to avoid getting sick. Gai Jun took his second wife and turned around and said to Gai Mo, "Wei Nu, you are about to have a younger brother and sister. Are you happy?"
"Really?" Gaimo was overjoyed at first, and then his smile froze when he saw the crying Gaiba next to him.
Gai Jun laughed and said, "Do you like a younger brother or a younger sister?"
"Sister." Gaimo said without thinking. After saying that, he deliberately glared at Gaiba, which made Gaiba curl his lips. If Bian Wei hadn't coaxed him in time, he would have almost started crying again.
"Don't bully Yishui." Gai Jun patted Gai Mo's head gently, and then asked Gai Yi, the eldest son, "What about you, Fuping."
Gai Yi hesitated and said, "I am the same as my second brother."
"Hahahaha..." Gai Jun said with a hearty smile. "As expected of me, I have wanted a daughter for more than ten years, but some people are not willing to live up to the expectations."
"..." Cai Wan stood by his side and rolled his eyes fiercely. There is a saying nowadays that "a house with five daughters cannot be stolen", which means that after someone marries five daughters, the family will inevitably become so poor that even thieves will not bother to visit their home.
Daughters, in this era, are real money-losers. It is too late for people to ask for a son, but he always wants a daughter. He often whispers in her ears, saying that if he has a daughter, what will happen if he has a daughter... It is very annoying.
The family returned to the living room, and then the sheep man hurriedly arrived. She had given birth to a son not long ago. Cai Yong was delighted to have a grandson. He was so relieved that he named him Ke. The so-called Ke is Jian, and it means shouldering things.
Ke, he hopes that his eldest grandson will be a responsible person in the future and will take on the responsibility of the Chen Liu Cai family, no matter whether it is prosperity, decline, glory or humiliation, he has infinite high hopes for him.
The waiting process was long, at least for Gai Jun, it was extremely long. More than once, he got up and walked to the door, waiting for Zhang Zhongjing.
In fact, this was already a done deal. We just needed to confirm it. As soon as Zhang Zhongjing took his pulse, he stood up and congratulated: "Congratulations, envoy, congratulations, envoy, you two ladies are indeed happy..."
Gai Jun burst into laughter and said to the prisoner: "Reward, everyone in the Hussar General's mansion will be rewarded, each person will be rewarded with three thousand coins."
"promise."
Before the slaves left, Bian Wei said: "Husband, is this reward too generous?"
"Is it generous? I also want to reward you with 10,000 yuan." Gai Jun said disapprovingly. "Wan'er, is what my husband said correct?"
Cai Wan smiled and nodded. She has always been a housekeeper, but she has no mercy when it comes to spending money. Since she gave birth to Gamemo six years ago, she became pregnant again. What could be more joyful than this? Spend one or two hundred dollars.
It's worth ten thousand dollars to make the whole family happy with her...
