Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 764 Returning to Youzhou 2
Escorted by [-] Xuanfeng troops and [-] Huben troops, Gongsun Xu and his party passed through Bingzhou and Jizhou and entered Youzhou smoothly, and finally they were about to go home. It would be a lie to say that they were not a little excited.Now the direct descendants of the Gongsun family are all gathered in Youzhou to wait for Gongsun Xu to come back. The imperial court is also waiting for Gongsun Xu to preside over the overall situation. Gongsun Zan is injured and Lu Zhi is recuperating. If no one comes out to preside over the overall situation, it will be difficult for Youzhou to be normal up and running.

When they entered the border of Youzhou, hundreds of Gongsun's children had been waiting here for a long time.Firstly, they wanted to welcome back the arrogant Chu Gongsun Xu of the younger generation of the Gongsun family, and secondly, they wanted to welcome the new generation head of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Yuan.

On the official road, under the protection of hundreds of personal guards, Gongsun Xu rode his horse and walked at the front of the team, Zhang Fei led the way, Zhao Yun and Gongsun Yuan guarded Gongsun Xu's sides, and Dian Wei rode his horse behind and stared at the surroundings .

When he was about to arrive at the tower of You Beiping, all the civil and military officials were already waiting here. In the past, when Gongsun Xu came back from a victorious battle, Liu Bian would personally shake off all the civil and military officials to welcome Gongsun Xu, but this time, Liu Bian disappeared. Now, everyone else is waiting here under Jia Xu's command. No matter what, the rules cannot be missed. Now it is Gongsun Xu who has the final say in northern Xinjiang.

"I have seen the great general..." Everyone knelt down and saluted. Gongsun Xu's status is unquestionable. The entire northern border is almost dependent on Gongsun Xu's maintenance. Defeated Xianbei's army of more than [-] troops, repelled Yuan Shao within a few days, reoccupied the entire Jizhou, and then sent troops to those places in Hedong, Hanoi and other places to open up more than ten thousand miles for northern Xinjiang.

"Everyone has worked hard, get up." Today's Gongsun Xu, although he is only a young man in his twenties, is already quite proficient in handling these interpersonal relationships and government affairs. The gentle tone is included, but everyone can feel an irresistible majesty. This is the aura of the superior, as the lord of the northern border should have the aura. While others respectfully obey, they all feel a wave of fear .

"Wenhe, I have worked hard for you during this time." Gongsun Xu looked at Jia Xu in front of him and said, "You have done a good job in some things. Without you, I may not be able to come back safely."

"I don't dare." Jia Xu quickly knelt down and said, "This minister is guilty, please punish me."

"Tell me, what are the crimes?" Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "I, Gongsun Xu, have clear rewards and punishments. If you have meritorious service, you must be rewarded. If you have done something wrong, you must be punished. No one can escape."

"The lowly ministers committed crimes and offended several ministers in the court." Jia Xu replied: "In order to kill the rebels, I dispatched troops privately, and failed to protect your majesty and Tai Tuo..."

At this time, Jia Xu calmly stated all his guilt. It was not until Gongsun Xu nodded and said to stop that Jia Xu kept silent. It seems that Jia Xu is very clear about what he has done during this period of time. I understand that he shouldn't do many things. Once he does, it is exceeding his authority and he has to bear the corresponding price.Moreover, some things are taboos, which are taboos of Gongsun Xu, such as military power, such as issuing commanders. These things, only Gongsun Xu can do in northern Xinjiang. Once others touch this taboo, they are provoking Gongsun Xu's authority. Could be death.

"Self-dispatch troops, the next crime is the next one." Gongsun continued: "These two crimes are too serious. I will temporarily put you in custody, and I will gather other ministers to discuss how to punish you. The rest of the crimes can be forgiven for the time being. You can be convinced."

"Weichen is convinced." Jia Xu kowtowed and replied, "Thank you, my lord."

Under the signal of Gongsun Xu, six soldiers of the Huben Army immediately stepped forward to help Jia Xu, and then escorted him away. Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei wanted to intercede for Jia Xu, but Guo Jia stopped them with winks.In many cases, the mind of the superior cannot be speculated or disobeyed.Gongsun Xu naturally had his reasons for doing this, and it was impossible to take back what he said in front of so many people.

Moreover, if Gongsun Xu really wanted to punish Jia Xu, there was no need to take him into custody first. He did this with the intention of protecting Jia Xu.Many aristocratic families and officials in Youbeiping held prejudice against Jia Xu during this period. It can be said that Jia Xu did many things outside of power during this period, including killing the rebels.

Although Gongsun Zan once expressed his support for Jia Xu's management of Youzhou, power needs checks and balances.Jia Xu jumped above other officials and aristocratic families all of a sudden, how could other people be convinced, why Jia Xu rode on top of them.If you want a family without a family, if you want a backer without a backer, a literati has no credit, and dares to point fingers at the big family.A lot of people have joined together and waited for Gongsun Xu to come back to sue.

Now that Gongsun Xu has done this, it seems that Jia Xu has been taken into custody, but in fact it is blocking the mouths of some people with malicious intentions. Those who should be punished have already been punished. If there are still people who want to argue with these reasons at this time, I'm afraid Gongsun Xu won't be so easy to talk to.

If there is really that kind of person looking for Jia Xu's bad luck at this juncture, it is undoubtedly looking for Gongsun Xu's troubles. In this way, Gongsun Xu has a reason and an excuse to do something he doesn't want to do, such as some innocent people. People will be punished, and some innocent families may be blamed.

"How is the situation in Youbeiping?" Gongsun Xu stepped forward to help a gray-bearded official and asked, "The Taiwei is injured, the Taifu is recuperating, the city has just experienced a rebellion, and His Majesty has also disappeared. I don't know what to do." Let me do it, please help me, Mr. Taichang, I don’t have enough experience and knowledge, I really don’t know what to do.”

"The general is serious. I will definitely help you with my duties." The old man stood up with the support of a young man behind Gongsun Xuhe, and the rest of the officials dared to stand up after seeing the old man stand up.

"Master Yang, follow me into the city." Gongsun Xu supported the old man and said, "I have to ask my lord for advice on many things. There are too many affairs in the northern border. I don't have many right-hand men around me. Next We have to rely on Master Yang to be the talent, and since His Majesty is missing, we must take care of this paradise for His Majesty, don't you think so?
The lives of the people in northern Xinjiang are hard-won. I don't want to be ruined by some people with ulterior motives. The old man is from a famous family, knowledgeable, and a veteran of the three dynasties. At this time; if the old man does not show up, the people in northern Xinjiang will suffer ah. "

"I don't dare to be a humble minister. My old bones are about to fail. The general should take pity on me." The old man replied: "This time I want to say goodbye to the general. In the future, I will deal with the affairs of the court. If I don’t want to participate anymore, I ask the general to take pity on my old bones. I, Yang Biao, really can’t participate in government affairs. I also want to spend a few years reading and drinking tea in my free time..."
