Gai Jun and Han Sui were from the same hometown. They had met once and met several times. They may not be familiar with each other, but they were definitely not strangers.
He will not touch his father-in-law Cai Yong easily, but there are no absolutes in the world, and Gai Jun cannot be 100% at ease. () Now that he learned from Ma Rixi that Cai Yong was fine, he put his heart back a little. After that, he
Asked about the beginning and end of the destruction of Chang'an City.
"..." When Ma Rixi and Zhao Qi heard this, they both smiled bitterly, with sad eyes, and were speechless for a moment. The Han army who besieged Chang'an was Bian Bi's army. Hu Feng was very strong in the army, and Dong Jun was on a journey of revenge.
, the killings were extremely selfish. Since the fall of Chang'an, the sauluan lasted for a whole day and did not generally subside until late at night. This directly led to one-third of the buildings in Chang'an being reduced to ruins. In the chaos, the only famous official who died in the battle was Situ.
Wang Yun, Sili Colonel Huang Wan, Wei Lieutenant Cui Lie, Da Honglu Zhou Huan, Imperial Servant Lu Kui, You Fufeng Wang Hong, Shangshu Yang Zan, Yueqi Colonel Wang Xin and other 20 or 30 people were killed and injured.
They are countless. In the city of Chang'an, it can be said that every family is suffering from the pain of zombies, and every room is crying and mourning. The situation is so miserable that it is beyond description.
Although Ma Rixi and Zhao Qi tried their best to keep their words as short and concise as possible, Gai Jun still felt the tragedy of Chang'an's destruction that day from their few words.
Gai Jun's face was as sharp as a knife, his eyebrows were like swords, and his expression was stern. To be honest, he was mentally prepared before asking, but when he heard about the tragic situation in Chang'an, he was still very sad. He wanted to hold the emperor hostage to get rid of his disobedience,
Moving back to Luoyang was really a last resort. Luoyang was too close to the east of Guandong, surrounded by enemies on several sides, and had no strategic depth. It was extremely vulnerable to being besieged by the princes of the east of the Guandong and was in danger of being annihilated. It was necessary to make Chang'an the capital and Guanzhong.
As the foundation, with Yao (Mountain) and Han (Gu Pass) as the basis, we can inherit the achievements of Qin and Han, and then we can accumulate strength and see the world. So the ruin of Chang'an is definitely not the result he wants to see.
Gai Jun was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Duke Cui died?" Cui Gong was referring to the late Lieutenant Cui Lie. This was the first time he heard the news. Most of the deceased courtiers were scholars from the anti-Dong camp. Dong Zhuo was violent
Their death is closely related to them. Even if they did not die in battle at the time, they would never escape the revenge of Dong Jun's generals afterwards. Rather than die in humiliation and humiliation, it is better to die vigorously in the name of Quan Zhonglie. But let Gai Ge
What Jun didn't expect was that Cui Lie would also die. You should know that he was not a member of the anti-Dong camp, nor did he participate in the assassination of Dong Zhuo.
Gai Jun's impression of Cui Lie: First, he lost five million to the mother-in-law of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, so he ascended to the position of disciple of the third company; second, Han Sui, Bian Zhang rebelled against Luan, Cui Lie proposed at the meeting of hundreds of officials
He gave up Liangzhou and was scolded by his old friend, Fu Xie, the father of Fu Qian, in court, and his face was lost. It was not a good impression. On the contrary, he and his eldest son, Cui Jun, the prefect of Xihe, were both friends and monarchs. Their relationship was unusual.
The latter must have been very sad when he learned that his father Cui Lie had died...
Ma Rixi sighed softly and said: "When the Japanese army entered Weiyang, King Yun Gong and hundreds of officials fled with His Majesty. They were surrounded by rebels. Cui Lie Gong led several guests to help His Majesty escape, and held swords.
After the break, more than ten people were killed, several thieves were captured, and he died of serious injuries. Cui Gong has been criticized by the world in recent years, but now he kills himself to become a benevolent person, so all kinds of ridicule can be put to rest."
"What Uncle Weng said is true..." Zhao Qi nodded in agreement. He also once disapproved of Cui Lie's behavior. Now that everyone is dead, it is inconvenient to accuse him.
There were more than tens of thousands of officials and civilians in Chang'an City, but there were only a few who cared about Gai Jun. His father-in-law Cai Yong was one, his teacher Ma Rixi was one, and the last one was He Yong.
Ma Rixi said that nothing happened to him and told some about his situation.
When Dong Zhuo died, Wang Yun fished him out of prison and worshiped him as Yilang. However, as Wang Yun became arrogant, monopolized power, and promoted people from Bingzhou, Guanxi scholars, and Guandong people, they were left out in the cold. Even the old officials of the Yuan family who had played a vital role in the execution of Dong were excluded, which made the Guandong scholars headed by He Yong extremely dissatisfied. Seeing that Wang Yun was stubborn and did not listen to others, the situation became increasingly dangerous. He Yong secretly scolded him for having the means to prosper the Han Dynasty but not having the courage to be a good minister. He expected that he would put the Han Dynasty in danger.
I have to admit that He Yong was extremely intelligent and had a sharp vision. He was the only two people in the anti-Dong camp who escaped the "catastrophe". The other one was Sun Rui, the minister and the great Confucian scholar in Fufeng. It's funny to say that Wang Yun himself It was said that he was so cunning that even though he had a 90% chance of winning, he still chose to hide behind the scenes, while his envoy Sun Rui drafted an edict against Dong Zhuo to minimize the risk. After Dong Zhuo was successfully removed, Wang Yun could no longer bear it and stepped to the front. He was doing a great job, and he implicitly regarded himself as the minister who had made the first contribution. At this time, Shisun Rui kept a low profile. On the grounds that Wang Yun was dedicated to Zhuo's contribution, he refused to grant him an official position or a title of marquis, and Dong Zhuo's remaining generals counterattacked Chang'an. , Wang Yun died, but scholar Sun Rui escaped. Only then did we know who was the real scheming one.
Gai Jun then chatted with the two elders for a long time. As Han Sui garrisoned the Wei River, dominated the rivers, and closed the passages, what he lacked most at the moment was undoubtedly intelligence. Therefore, everything Zhao Qi and Ma Rixi said now was Incredibly valuable information.
It can be seen that the two elders do have the intention to use Gai Jun to exterminate the traitors and regain Chang'an. In their eyes, Gai Jun is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, but he still knows the basics and is much more reliable than Han Sui, Dong Zhuo and the like. Therefore, The number and distribution of troops of Lian Han and Dong were also mentioned. Of course, this is a military secret of Chang'an, and the two of them could not explain it in detail. They only knew the general outline, but for Gai Jun, it was enough. He never expected to learn from the two armies. People gain more.
Unknowingly, the red sun quietly disappeared from the horizon, and the sky dimmed, with sporadic drizzle falling. Gai Jun heard a ringing sound in his belly. He only ate something in the morning, and it was already daylight. It was unavoidable to feel hungry. It was expected that Zhao Qi and Ma Rixi had probably not eaten lunch, so they stopped talking and ordered Ma Chao, who was standing next to him, to ask someone to prepare a meal.
Gai Jun's guess was accurate. Zhao Qi and Ma Rixi had indeed not eaten lunch. First, they were in a hurry to see him, and second, they had no appetite. In fact, the two of them had not had a serious meal in the past few days. , the country has fallen to this point, and as an old minister who cares about the country, no matter how delicious the food is, it is like chewing wax and has no taste at all.
Zhao and Ma were envoys from the emperor and came here on behalf of the country. Since Gai Jun wanted to entertain the two of them, he couldn't be the only one to accompany them, so he summoned all the officials again.
Dozens of civil and military officials filed in after hearing the order, and stood in awe in the hall after paying homage. It was true that the civil servants were elegant and the generals were outstanding. Everyone has something extraordinary. Zhao Qi and Ma Rixi couldn't help but admire the talent under Gai Jun's command, so much so.
, no wonder Heshuo flourished and became a powerful prince in the world.
Previously, Zhao and Ma had focused their attention on Gai Jun. They only met briefly with their ministers and had no communication. In fact, they knew many people, such as Zhao Qi, who had worked with Gai Jun in Beidi County in the past.
Jun has been working together for a long time, and is no stranger to generals such as Henan Yin, Huya General Gai Yin, partial general Guan Yu, partial general Pang De, etc.
Ma Rixi was just the opposite. He knew very few military generals, but quite a lot of civil servants, such as Ma Xunyu, the Sima of the Hussar General's Office, Xun You, who was in charge of Zhonglang Xunyou, Hua Xin, who was the councilor of the governor's department of Bingzhou, Zhang Cheng, the captain of Anmin, and Nongdu.
Wei Zhengtai and others, because they all once established themselves in the court and became the leaders of the young generation of the Han Dynasty, among them, Henan Zhengtai was the most famous.
Zhao Qi and Ma Rixi have a magnificent temperament. Although they are in a high position and are famous all over the world, they are able to treat others with humility. Taking advantage of the gap before the dinner, they took a group of people to talk about civil and military affairs. During this period, they did not hesitate to talk and laugh.
The style of a generous elder.
Soon, Gai Yi, Sima Yi, Wang Can and other younger generations also came over.
"Young man Gai Yi, please pay your respects to Mr. Magong..."
Ma Rixi looked at the boy next to Gai Jun, who was more than five feet tall, had a handsome appearance, and carried himself in a grand manner. He was surprised at first, then relieved, and joked with a smile: "Are you the famous Heshuo prodigy?" Ma Rixi had seen him before.
He met Gaiyi, and not only once or twice. It was at the beginning of Zhongping Dynasty, when Gaijun was appointed as the Lieutenant General of Habayashi in Kyoto, the latter was only three or four years old and had no memory. After six years, the two sides never met again.
"It's just a rumor. This kid is young and has little knowledge. How dare he carry the word "prodigy"?" Gai Yi bowed with great respect and replied solemnly.
Ma Rixi smiled. It was very rare for him to know how to be humble at such a young age. He said to Gai Jun: "Seeing him, I suddenly realized how fast time passed. The child in the past has now grown up to be outstanding and elegant.
For someone of the same age, Ziying is so lucky!"
Gai Jun lovingly touched the corner of Gai Yi's head and said with a smile, "Teacher, please don't praise him badly."
Ma Rixi said: "If I remember correctly, he is only ten years old this year? Ziying is really willing to let him stay away from his family and join the military at such a young age!"
"As a father, you should be strict, sharpen your temperament, and encourage your child to become talented. But Fuping is only ten years old. How can I want him to follow me and suffer the pain of running around at a young age? This is not my intention. It is his fault.
I begged him. I saw that he was very determined and I was afraid that he would be hurt if he refused, so I had no choice but to comply." Gai Jun said softly, the pride in his tone could not be concealed. Gai Yi has outstanding talents, both civil and military skills, and a good temperament. He is indeed worthy of him.
This proud father would not have taken him with him otherwise.
Ma Rixi asked casually about the meaning of the sutra, and Gai Yi corresponded very clearly. Ma Rixi smiled and said: "Although Fuping is young, he has already mastered several sutras. He really deserves the name of "child prodigy"! He is much better than your father when he was young...
..." Gai Junguanju, a hussar general who led Bingzhou Mu, is undoubtedly the most accomplished person among Ma Rixi's disciples, and he will have great potential in the future, but in Ma Rixi's eyes, he is not a good student.
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, but Gai Yi's expression was as solemn as before, and Ma Rixi nodded repeatedly.
Gai Jun also smiled, smiling from the bottom of his heart. He recalled that when he visited Kyoto in the past, he met Cai Wan. He fell in love at first sight and fell in love at second sight. After that, he frequently visited Cai's house. And since his ambition was not in Confucian classics, he was more willing to call friends.
Drinking wine and singing, stimulating eloquence, giving advice on the country, commenting on ancient and modern times, current affairs, and people, going to Mafu to study, it can be said that three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, running away if you can, and avoiding if you can. Living in Beijing for three years is a good example.
It was the happiest time since Jun came to Han Dynasty.
"Ma Gong..." Wang Can's great-grandfather Wang Gong, his grandfather Wang Chang were all three Dukes, and his father Wang Qian was also famous. Unfortunately, he died early and could not be used to his full potential. At a young age, he was known as Taixue for his talents and knowledge, and was married to Cai Yong.
Wang Nianjiao made him famous far and wide. Ma Rixisu was friendly with Cai Yong, so he naturally recognized him.
Sima Yi didn't know him, but he had a face like a crown, brows as thick as lacquer, and eyes like cold stars. His appearance was very beautiful, and he was sandwiched between Gai Yi and Wang Can. His expression was calm and calm, so he was not an ordinary boy. Ma Ri
After asking about it, it turned out that it was indeed the case. He came from the Sima family in Hanoi, which is a large family with a long history. Not to mention the distant ones, it has been worth two thousand stones for four generations since Emperor An of the Han Dynasty. It is definitely worthy of being regarded as a "famous family".
"Four words.
Sima Yi's father Sima Fang is now in Chang'an. What he is most concerned about now is his father's safety. Ma Rixi and Sima Fang are ministers in the same palace. Knowing the latter's situation and saying that he is safe and sound, Sima Yi can't help but feel relieved.
tone.
In terms of wealth, Northern Xinjiang is definitely not as rich as Guanzhong, but there are cattle and sheep everywhere. This time when going south, the army brought tens of thousands of cattle and sheep for military supplies. Baling County is close to the river bank and has rich fish products, so it is a good place for banquets.
There may be no delicacies in the world, but there is no shortage of big fish and meat, and wine can also be collected nearby. As the folk saying goes: The best wine in the world belongs to Guanzhong, is it a false reputation?
Everyone drank three or five glasses of wine and let go of their courage. The slightly serious atmosphere gradually became noisy. Zhao Qi and Ma Rixi were both old and incompatible with the banquet atmosphere. Moreover, they had traveled for a long time and were extremely tired.
, ate some hastily, then got up to say goodbye and went back to the room to rest. As soon as the elders left, the prostitutes began to enter. These dancers were only wrapped in gauze and light robes. They danced in the upper hall to the rhythm of the music, enjoying their beauty.
Confused, the already warm atmosphere suddenly reached its peak.
Seeing that the officials were arrogant, Gai Yi, who was sitting next to Gai Jun, frowned slightly, with an expression that seemed displeased, and turned to look at his father, his face full of confusion.
Although Gai Yi was smart, he was limited by his age and experience and could not see Gai Jun's intentions. Gai Jun patted his son's shoulder and said patiently: "Both the Han and Dong armies are powerful troops on the border, and their soldiers are fierce and powerful. They will rule the roost."
One side is our formidable enemy in Heshuo, let alone the two of them united. The battle of life and death is about to break out. Not to mention civil and military matters, even as a father, I am also worried. It is rare to have a chance to resolve it, but it is rude and unreasonable.
Why not? Of course, it’s just this once.”
"That's it..." Gai Yi nodded suddenly. Traveling thousands of miles, eating and sleeping in the open, is a hard job for an adult, let alone a child. But he did not agree with his original decision. On the contrary, he was glad that he was stubborn.
, because along the way, it was a bit hard, but I also learned a lot of things that I couldn’t learn in ordinary times.
