Chapter 398 Chang'an Rebellion ([-])

A sudden heavy snow made the road even more difficult.

A vast expanse of white wilderness reveals endless loneliness.Within a radius of a hundred miles, there was not even a single figure to be seen.

This is the biggest snowfall in Jizhou in 15 years since Zhongping Year.

Although it is said that auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year.But everything is always too much, the snow is so heavy that it is unbearable for ordinary people.Unable to bear the heavy pressure, countless houses collapsed in the blizzard, and countless innocent souls were added.

Is it God's punishment, or...

It's not just Jizhou.The same is true for the Xianbei tribes in Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Beyond the Great Wall, and the disaster is even more serious.

The rich are still rich.

But those displaced people froze to death and starved to death countless times.

In the article "Jian'an Ye Huo Lu" handed down to later generations, the heavy snow in the first year of Jian'an was called Jian'an snow disaster.

At the end of November, Tian Yu and Pang Tong, who escorted the cold-proof supplies and arrived at the begging army, offered a strategy after observing the Xianbei camp on Danhan Mountain.When the new wind was strong, a big fire burned down all the three hundred miles of Gongsundu's consortium.

The begging army took advantage of the trend and occupied Danhan mountain.

After this battle, the Qihuo army no longer had the ability to advance eastward, so they had to station troops on the front line of Baishan Mountain, facing Gongsundu across the wet water.

******
Counting the time, Gu Yong has lived in Su Shuang's farm for more than 30 days.

However, there was still no news from Dong Bi, which made many people, including Guan Qiujian, feel very anxious.

Even the good news from Danhan Mountain has become less exciting.

Gu Yong said: "Although Xiping finally captured Danhan Mountain, from a strategic point of view, it has already been greatly discounted."

Guanqiu Jian couldn't help wondering: "How do you say that, sir?"

"If Danhan Mountain is still in the hands of Helian, it will be a great victory that I have never had against the Hu people in the past 200 years. However, Helian died first in the hands of Gongsundu, and then the entire Xianbei was controlled by Gongsundu In a sense, Danhan Mountain already belongs to the territory of our Han Dynasty. Although Xiping captured Danhan Mountain, it has been reduced to a dispute among princes."

Chen Gong sighed, "The governor played a good game of chess, but in the end he achieved the reputation of Gongsun Du. He was inferior, and he was inferior. Although Gongsun Du lost the Danhan mountain, but the name of the hero who killed Hu number, but it has already been confirmed!"

Since Zhen Yan's visit that day, Chen Gong has been visiting the farm every now and then.

Although Chen Gong's reputation is not outstanding compared to the current world, he does have talent.Especially the big plan he made in Chang'an, Gu Yong and Guan Qiujian didn't dare to take it lightly.Both of them know that there are many capable people in this world, some people are famous all over the world, but some people don't like to make friends, and this Chen Gong is one of them.

"I heard that the evil tiger has gone south?"

Gu Yong took a sip of his wine and said with a smile: "I never thought that the evil tiger of the Northland, who dominates Youzhou, would end up like this."

"Yes, Cao Cao has the help of a vicious tiger, I'm afraid it will be even more powerful."

"Not at all!" Chen Gong said: "Although Cao Cao was a hero at the time, how could that evil tiger be an idler? In terms of rank, Lu Bu was the general of the court guard, the shepherd of Youzhou, the Marquis of Wen...Cao Cao is just Fei Ting now. Hou, it's just General Zhendong. Between the two, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get along for a long time. It just depends on whether Cao Mengde has the ability to subdue dragons and subdue tigers."

Gu Yong and Guan Qiujian couldn't help nodding their heads.

That's right, Lu Bu is a rebellious person, and he has been in the top position for a long time, so can he easily submit to Cao Cao?
I'm afraid it is also very difficult!

When mentioning the vicious tiger, Gu Yong couldn't help but think of another violent tiger.

Putting down the wine glass, he asked softly, "Zhong Gong, do you know where the governor is now? When will he be back?"

Chen Gong couldn't help but said: "Yes, my boss also asks three times a day, and I'm so annoyed to death."

"But even if the lord comes, how do you ask him to stop the marriage?"

Guanqiu Jian frowned and said: "Sir, you should know that this is not Guanzhong after all, even if the lord is here, how can he get ahead?"

Chen Gong smiled calmly, "The palace has already made plans for this matter."

"Appreciate further details!"

Chen Gong hesitated for a moment, looked at Guanqiu Jian and Gu Yong, and gritted his teeth: "Actually, this matter is also related to how the governor will return to Guanzhong. Now, every intersection leading to Hedong is heavily guarded. Even if Yuan Shao doesn't want to fight with Dadu The governor will turn his back on him, and I'm afraid he won't easily magnify the governor to go back. Although Su Weng and the others have connections, they are still not safe enough."

"That's true!" Wu Qiujian nodded in agreement.

What Chen Gong said was right.Entering Hedong from Jizhou is a good choice, but it is also an adventure.

Gu Yongdao: "Gongtai, why don't you speak up?"

Chen Gong smiled, "Actually, the biggest problem with returning to Hedong is none other than Shangdang. I would like to ask the governor to rob and kill Yuan Xi on the way. In this way, Yuan Shao will be furious and will definitely mobilize troops from all over the country, including Shangdang. The party's soldiers and horses will inevitably be mobilized to track down the murderer... and at this time, the checkpoint to the east of the river will also be loosened."

Gu Yong understood...

At this time, Chen Gong had a time difference, and he used the mobilization of soldiers and horses from the two places to break through the defense of Shangdang.

only……

Gu Yong and Guan Qiujian looked at each other, and there was a trace of doubt in their hearts.

Chen Gong saw what the two of them were thinking, and immediately said: "Of course, Miss Mi can't stay in Zhongshan any longer. The governor can take advantage of Yuan Xi to marry Miss Mi, and take away Miss Mi together. First, the Zhen family If you can get rid of the relationship, secondly, Miss Mi can serve as the contact person of the Zhen family to serve as the governor, and the Su and Zhang families can also serve as the governor."

The words are beautiful, but in fact, Zhen Mi is equivalent to the hostage of the Zhen family, going to Guanzhong.

I'm afraid the hostage going to Guanzhong is not just Zhen Mi.Once the news is revealed, the Zhen family will also die.

From this moment on, the future of the Zhen family has been closely linked with Guanzhong.

Gu Yong pondered for a while, then said softly: "Miss Mi went to Guanzhong, but I don't know how the Zhen family can get rid of Yuan Shao's control?"

The implication is: Zhen Mi is just an excuse for Yuan Shao to annex your old Zhen's family.Even if he doesn't become an in-law, his old Zhen's family can escape Yuan Shao's calculations?I'm afraid it's not that simple, Yuan Shao will never let it go.

Chen Gong sneered, "Don't worry, Yuan Tan, the old Zhen family has been able to establish a foothold in Zhongshan for more than a hundred years, so it means that they have no means at all? Although Yuan Benchu ​​dominates Jizhou, if he wants to fight hard with the old Zhen family, I am afraid that he will also It's hard."

Gu Yong and Guan Qiujian are both from aristocratic families.

It is natural to know that the foundation of the aristocratic family is based on the place.What Chen Gong said is right, then Zhen Yi is probably not someone who is easy to get along with.

******
That night, both Gu Yong and Guan Qiujian slept very late.

Chen Gong's words during the day were still echoing in his ears, and both of them were thinking about all the possibilities.

In the middle of the night, the cold wind howled.

Goose feathers and heavy snow fell one after another, but it was getting bigger and bigger.

The snow on the road has already covered the calf.Horses and vehicles, and even passers-by, have become extremely difficult.

In the study, Gu Yong and Guan Qiujian were talking about something.

Suddenly there was a creaking sound from outside the door, followed by the opening of the curtain, only to see Su You walking in from outside the house.

"Brother Su, it's so late and you haven't rested yet?"

"Mr. Gu, Zhong Gong, follow me quickly, the lord has arrived!"

"what?"

Gu Yong couldn't help being excited when he heard the news.And Guanqiu Jian even got up and grabbed Su You's arm, "My lord is here? Where is it?"

"Zhong Gong, don't get excited... My lord did not arrive at Zhongshan, but settled at Zhongren Pavilion. My father sent someone to deliver a letter. My lord will not come to Zhongshan. When the snow eases, he will turn to Zhongren Pavilion. Quyang, straight into Changshan."

Wu Qiujian was stunned!

Logically speaking, the lord should have met at Zhongshan first, but why did he divert at Zhongren Pavilion?

On the contrary, it was Gu Yong who quickly understood Dong Bi's intentions.It seems that Xi Pingdang chose to go to Shang Quyang at the Zhongren Pavilion because he didn't want to get too close to the Su and Zhang families, so as not to be seen by others.

Compared with more than ten years ago, Xiping's thinking has obviously become more meticulous.

Immediately, he told Guan Qiujian what he thought, and then someone woke up Su Fei immediately, and asked him to bring his family and guards and then set off. He and Guan Qiujian set off first under the guidance of Su You and Zhang Zun , to Zhongren Pavilion.

"Mr. Gu, do you want to inform the Zhen family?"

Gu Yong frowned, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, too many people should not know about this matter, we will talk about it after we meet Xiping."

"Here!"

Unknowingly, Guan Qiujian has regarded Gu Yong as the mastermind.

In fact, no matter in terms of experience or planning, Gu Yong is obviously much better than Guanqiu Jian.

Moreover, Gu Yong is also Dong Pi's senior brother. From the perspective of close relationship, Guan Qiujian should also rely on Gu Yong as the main one.

After the discussion, everyone set off overnight.

Zhongren Pavilion is located in the lower reaches of Hengshui, between Wangdu, Shangquyang and Zhongshan (now near Tang County, Hebei).It didn't take long to travel from Zhongshan Country to Zhongren Pavilion.However, due to the difficulty of the road, Gu Yong and others set off at the second watch, and did not arrive at the Zhongren Pavilion until dawn.At this time, the heavy snow like goose feathers has subsided.

The sky was blue and extremely sunny.

Gu Yong and his party dismounted outside a farm located by Hengshui.

Su You stepped forward and said, "Young man Su You, by the order of my father, come to join us."

Above the gate tower of the farm, there are guards dressed as Zhuang Ding standing guard.After a while, the gate of the villa was opened, and a group of people, about a dozen people, came out of the farm.Of the two leaders, one was dressed as a general, the other was dressed in a black cloak, and his figure was rather thin and thin, with sharp edges and corners like a knife-cut cheek.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Zhang, my lord welcomes you!"

While speaking, the man glanced at Gu Yong, was slightly taken aback, and showed a familiar expression, "This is..."

"You are... Dong Tie?"

Gu Yong also felt that this well-dressed young man looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he said pleasantly: "I am Gu Yong. We met at the Guancheng Station. Have you forgotten? Back then, I returned to Yucheng from Luoyang with my teacher. "

"what!"

The well-dressed young man couldn't help but let out a soft cry, and quickly stepped forward to salute, "It's Mr. Gu, please forgive Dong Tie for his poor eyesight."

This young man is none other than Dong Bi's martial arts school lieutenant, Dong Tie and Dong Yuanrong.

Gu Yong walked into the farm in front of Dong Tie and the young man dressed as a general, and a group of people quickly came to the hall of the farm.

This is Zhang You's farm in Zhongrenting, which is mainly used for rest on the way of business.

The farm is not big, with forty or fifty houses.Along the way, fighters in soft armor and long swords can be seen patrolling.

Walking into the hall, a warm air rushes towards you.

I saw two old men chatting and laughing with a tall young man sitting in the center like a lion.

The young man, about 27 or [-] years old, was over Zhang tall when he stood up, with broad shoulders and a round waist.The face is like the bottom of a pot, with horizontal eyebrows and fine eyes, lion nose and wide mouth, which is ferocious and terrifying.Seeing Gu Yong and others coming in, the young man also got up, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Su, Brother Zhang... It's been a hard journey, please sit down quickly..."

When his eyes fell on Gu Yong, the young man couldn't help being slightly startled.

"You are……"

Gu Yong showed a smile, took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Governor, it has been 14 years since we left Yucheng, do you still remember the old man?"

"You are... Brother Gu!"

The young man exclaimed, stepped forward and hugged Gu Yong, with a look of joy on his face.
