Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Qi Hong's Central Plains war situation in the Yong'an and Guangxi years was a miraculous feat, and his prestige was great, and this kind of turmoil even made Wang Pengzu jealous, so Qi Hong's position was always suppressed by the main book, Sima and other auxiliary officials. After Qi Hong returned to the capital and the king of the East China Sea monopolized the military and political power of the imperial court, Wang Pengzu added officials to the knighthood himself, and at the same time promoted the Youzhou military generals and the Hu clan commanders, but Qi Hong's reward was delayed.
Qi Hong was born as a civilian official, not a rude warrior without political sensitivity, and he immediately understood the mind of the hussar general, so he asked to resign and return to his hometown on the grounds that the civilian official was unbearable to his military career and was old and sick. Qi Hong is so knowledgeable, Wang Jun naturally has a reward. He generously gave Qi Hong gold silks, property, property, servants and maids, and left him to live near Jixian County for consultation at any time.
In this way, the manor where Qi Hong lives has a considerable scale, from the outside, although I don't know what the inner building is, the single wall is tall, and the gatehouse is towering, which is already very magnificent. Outside the wall, there is also a meandering stream that can be used both as a landscape and as a defense.
Directly opposite the gate of the manor, there is a wooden suspension bridge that is pulled up diagonally. The suspension bridge is apparently rarely pulled up, so that the place where the bridge comes into contact with the soil is noticeably darker, and the ground on the other side of the stream has left deep marks. Perhaps the people in the manor were very wary of the large group of people outside the door, so they temporarily pulled up the suspension bridge just in case.
As the gate opened, the drawbridge creaked down, and everyone saw the two men in the manor walk out.
One is in the prime of life, with a bare face and long hair, although he is dressed as a rich man, but he is striding in his actions and is very magnificent. Looking at his broad shoulders, he must be strong; With slightly looped legs, he must have grown up on a horse since he was a child, and he is by no means an ordinary rich family in the township. This person's face sank like water, and his footsteps slumped on the ground, as if he could barely suppress his regretful feelings. As he walked, he bowed sideways: "In this case, I will leave for Liaodong, and the master's family does not need to send him off." ”
In the silent environment, Pang Yuan leaned in towards Fang Mianzhi and said in a low voice: "It's actually from the Gongsun clan of Liaodong!" ”
Liaodong is remote, Pang Yuan actually does not know much about the situation there, only knows that since the Han and Wei dynasties, the Gongsun clan is a big family in Pingzhou, and its people are all over the Pingzhou counties such as Lelang, Daifang, Liaodong, Xuansu, etc., and are also distributed in Liaoxi and Beiping in Youzhou. Although his clan is known as the descendants of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, they have been infected with Hu customs for many years, and their clothes and costumes are different from those of the Han family. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Zhan, a white horse general who was a strong man, and Sun Yuan, the prince of Yan, who seized Pingzhou, were all members of the Gongsun clan. Although Emperor Xuan of the Great Jin Dynasty conquered Gongsun Yuan, causing countless casualties among his clansmen, decades later, his generation had recovered his vitality.
"Liaodong Gongsun Clan?" The Fang clan's caravan is considered to be a ghost in the north of Xinjiang, and it has had contact with the Gongsun clan in the past. Hearing Pang Yuan talk about it, Fang Mianzhi thought for a while, and then his spirit perked up: "He is Gongsun Wuxian!" ”
"Gongsun Wuxian?" Pang Yuan had heard of his reputation, and frowned: "What is this person doing here?" Could it be that seeing that Youzhou has no owner, does the Liaodong Gongsun clan also intend to take the opportunity to expand its power? ”
The name of the contemporary Gongsun clan is called Gongsun Hui. And the one who often travels to Youzhou in the name of selling horses is Gongsun Wuxian, the nephew of Gongsun Hui and another figure with considerable strength. During the Yuankang period, the county of Fang was in turmoil, attacking Fuyu, the court was discussed, because the Gongsun clan had led Fuyu, and ordered Gongsun Wuxian to be the captain, and led the clan soldiers to pacify it with the captain of Dongyi. It shows that this gentleman is not only a local hero, but also quite a military strategy.
The man who Gongsun Wuxian called "the master's house" was a man about 50 years old. This person is of medium stature, with a short beard, wearing a light domestic robe, and is quite elegant in his gestures, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, like a teacher in the village community. However, in the blink of an eye, everywhere was shining, and there was a faint touch of cyan in the corner of the right eye, revealing the fierce momentum of a fierce eagle.
Without the introduction of others, anyone immediately understands that this person is the owner of this manor, the former Sima Qihong of Youzhou.
Compared with Gongsun Wuxian's unhappiness, Qi Hong seems to be very leisurely. Hearing Gongsun Wuxian's words when he said goodbye, he shook his head slightly, and walked a few steps before he smiled: "Thank you brother for your understanding." You must have made all the preparations for gathering so many soldiers and horses. But after all, he treated me leniently, and he didn't come strongly, which already shows his deep friendship! ”
"Haha...... Hahaha...... "Gongsun Wuxian's footsteps were sluggish, and he laughed dryly. Fortunately, his face was originally red, but he couldn't tell if it had become redder.
Qi Hong's guess was good. The Gongsun clan of Liaodong is a significant family in Pingzhou, and there have been many secessions in modern times. After Wang Jun's violent death, Youzhou was weak. The Xianbei tribes in the east were unpressed, and they were all preparing for the offensive in full swing, and even the local wealthy clans from all over Pingzhou were ready to move. Gongsun Wuxian was ordered by the clan lord Gongsun Hui to invite Qi Hong to conspire with great things, and the reason why he used such a large scale of private troops was not only to show off the strength of the Gongsun clan in Youzhou, but also to imply the intention of hijacking. In Gongsun Wuxian's plan, he only needs to be called by the famous general Qi Hong, but he is not necessarily required to lead the troops.
Speaking of which, thanks to the heavy damage to the Youzhou army in Daijun, Gongsun Wuxian and his entourage actually crossed the city and county without hindrance, and went directly from Liaodong to Jixian County. It's a pity that Qi Hong has no intention of joining hands with the Gongsun clan, and the move of the Liaodong Gongsun clan to lead hundreds of people to threaten the former commander of the Youzhou army seems a little ridiculous no matter how you look at it.
That's it, that's it, if you want to do great things, you don't have to get Qi Hong's help, the three generations of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong have tasted the guts, and the fierce generals in the clan are like clouds, and the strong soldiers are like rain, and they attract Hu Er as wings, which is a hundred times better than the state soldiers of the imperial court...... Can't you just reach a scholar who joined the army halfway? Gongsun Wuxian comforted himself like this, waved his hand violently, and waited to order his subordinates to gather.
At this moment, he suddenly appeared, only to realize that there were two more groups of men and horses in front of the manor, and there were hundreds of horsemen not far from him.
Obviously, because Qi Hong, who was preoccupied with his side, Gongsun Wuxian, who thought that he had been on the battlefield for a long time, did not notice the surrounding situation in advance at all, which was really a mistake that made him ashamed.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Gongsun Wuxian raised his whip and asked. His eyes glared angrily, and his image suddenly became a little terrifying: "If you show off your might in front of my family's troops, don't you want to die?" ”
Gongsun Wuxian seemed to want to turn his stupid intentions into anger and pour it out on everyone in front of him, but unfortunately such a fierce gesture could not frighten anyone else, and no one in the other two cavalry teams present was moved.
The soldiers of Daijun have been fighting for a long time, and their vision has been so high that it is boundless. Although the private soldiers of the Gongsun clan are numerous, they are really not difficult to deal with in the eyes of the soldiers of Daijun; is a strong place, and his identity is too far from that of General Yingyang, Daijun Taishou, and Governor Shanggu Guangning Daijun. Ma Rui glared back, and wanted to slap the horse forward and scold.
At this time, 6 Yao, who was standing at the forefront, suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture to stop: "Don't worry. ”
From earlier, 6 Yao ignored everything else, just staring intently at the team that Pang Yuan called "elite". Even when the middle door of the manor was wide open and Qi Hong and Gongsun Wuxian went out side by side, he never took his eyes off.
Ma Rui felt a little strange. He looked in the direction of 6 Yao's line of sight, but saw that the group of men and horses facing the Gongsun clan head-on suddenly changed their ranks. A dozen horsemen turned their horses and retreated to the flanks, giving way to a knight who was covering in the middle.
The knight was dressed in the sleeved riding uniform of the long journey, and covered with a wide gray cloth cloak, which seemed to be a little shabby. He rode out of the column alone, not speaking a word, but looking around at the crowd. The hundreds of people present all felt that his eyes were bright and bright, revealing a calm and heroic bearing; Although he was so dusty that he couldn't tell his age, somehow, everyone felt that this person must be dignified and extremely majestic.
"I haven't seen my old friend for several years, but I have reached the point where I don't know the other side, which is really emotional." This person walked forward, passing horizontally from the front of Gongsun Clan's private army, until he was extremely close to Gongsun Wuxian and Qi Hong.
Isn't it looking for death when you get close to this journey? All you need to do is stab him, and he can kill this person immediately! The private soldiers of the Gongsun clan were used to it, and they were immediately eager to try. But I thought about it and worried that this person's entourage must be good at fighting, and once they fight, they may not be able to gain the upper hand. Under the dilemma, they went to see Gongsun Wuxian one after another, but they were shocked to see that this majestic man was still as imposing as a tiger a moment ago, but at this moment, it was like seeing a ghost, and he couldn't stand on his feet, and his body trembled slightly! Looking closely, it turned out that Gongsun Wuxian's red face turned gray at some point, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, and the front of the robe was wet. The subordinates under his command looked at each other in frustration. I really don't know what a terrible character this knight is, and he can be so terrifying that he can be so terrified by his own leader who is known for his ferocity?
"You...... You...... I know you! Gongsun Wuxian was stunned for a long time, and finally said astringently: "You are Zu Li...... Zu Shizhi! ”
"Exactly!" The knight laughed. He gestured to Qi Hong: "Ancestor Li, a native of Fanyang County, has come to visit Qi Sima. ”
Before Qi Hong could answer, Gongsun Wuxian said in a loud voice: "Aren't you an official in Luoyang?" What are you going to do when you go back to Youzhou? Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly let out another heart-wrenching muffled scream, and he had not yet escaped from the shock, and bit his tongue in a panic.
"Zu has indeed been away from the countryside for many years, but ......" The knight who was called Zu Li coughed lightly: "I want to teach you to know that Zu is not talented, but the new Youzhou assassin appointed by the imperial court." ”
Zu Ti's words were not very loud, and they fell in everyone's ears, but they were like more than a dozen explosions in the flat ground roaring at the same time, arousing an exclamation: "What? What the?? Are you kidding? ”
Zu Ti didn't seem to have heard these calls at all, his expression was indifferent, he looked back at his subordinates, and then raised his voice: "Shi Shao, you take the imperial edict, the document and the seal letter, and show it to Brother Qi and Brother Gongsun." ”
