The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 453
The aristocratic family is nothing but grass!
For these guys, it doesn't matter who is the emperor.The survival and development of the family comes first.Those aristocratic families who earnestly serve whatever family they eat, and do not dig too much into the corners of the country, are already very moral.

In the Battle of Bingzhou, Guan Yi could only be regarded as a small victory tactically.However, the decision of Huo Zai and his son not to rescue Shangguan but to take the initiative to send troops to Shangdang County gave Ji Han a great strategic advantage: the fall of Shangdang was not just the fall of an ordinary county with not very rich output. question.It is the change of hands of the world's victorious place, which makes the elites of this era keenly feel that the general trend of the world has been completely reversed.

If it is said that Shangdang has not yet fallen, and the whereabouts of the Xiongnu and Tuoba are unknown.Even though Jiang Wei treats every Youzhou family with tenderness, every family is obedient to what they say.Then, when the situation became clear, the general's attitude became so rough.These guys are just as happy.

In a nutshell: a bunch of bitches!
"Mr. Lu, it's not because I, Gou Xi, made things difficult for others. It's just that... you have seen it too. Our army has no food. If Mr. Lu doesn't give us some supplies today, I'm afraid we won't be able to walk for thirty miles. , The horses are going to die."

"General, don't force others to be difficult..." After Lu Zhigao said this in a loud voice, he muttered again in a low voice: "Go three miles south from here, and dig five feet down at the place where there are five locust trees."

After getting this hint, Gou Xi didn't say much anymore, and sincerely bowed to Lu Zhi, then recruited his troops, and left quickly.

Looking at the cloud of smoke and dust rolled up by the Youzhou Qingqi, the housekeeper stood up: "Young master, is it a little risky to do this?"

"Hey, it's really risky. But a hero like General Gou Dao shouldn't be defeated like this. My Lu family has always passed on loyalty and righteousness. I really can't do anything to make things worse."

"The young master has a noble character. It's just that not all the families in Youzhou have the character of the young master, right? Among other things, Fangcheng ambushed the day before yesterday. If someone hadn't reported the whereabouts of General Gou Dao in advance, what would the Han army do?" Was it possible to set up an ambush with such precision? And what the old slave said was not pleasant, that is, we let go of General Gou Dao. Could it be that other families are busy arresting General Gou Dao and his subordinates in order to claim credit for the Great General of the Han Kingdom? .”

"What you said is very reasonable. However, in one's life, one should do something and not do something. Taking advantage of people's dangers and making troubles. I, Lu Zhi, don't want to do it no matter what."

"Young master, this old slave said that I admire your personal conduct. Just doing this will put my family in danger. If the Gao family and Liu family around here know that we have contacted General Gou today, Are you afraid you should hurry up and report to General Jiang?"

"That's for sure. But, there's one thing you haven't thought of. This Jiang Boyue is the great general of the Han Dynasty. And the founder of the Han Kingdom was Liu Xuande. As for my family's ancestor, it was Liu Xuande who always mentioned it. The benefactor who arrived. So..."

"So that's how it is. This old slave was wrong. It's just the Patriarch. Although my Lu family has this kind of relationship with Han, the time has been too long. This kind of incense can't stand such repeated consumption."

"I know this. I promise, this is the last time. Next time, if that Goudao general dares to come, my Lu family's private soldiers will also meet him with swords and guns."

……

After walking not far to the south, Gou Xi led his army to find food and supplies at the place Lu Zhi hinted at.

"General, there are a thousand stones of grain here, as well as a small amount of salt and oil."

"Good, the Lu family really didn't get things done." After sighing depressingly, Gou Xi sent an order: "Let the brothers above Chief Qu come to gather in front of me."

"Here!"

"Brothers, Mr. Lu informed me of the following situation just now... In short, due to the defeat of Bingzhou, the Xiongnu and Tuoba completely surrendered. Not to mention that the food roads for the Shu thieves have been completely opened up, Luoyang has also been directly threatened... Now, the aristocratic families in Youzhou have turned their backs one after another, and it is meaningless for us to persist here. Therefore, what I mean is, go south, to Jizhou. See if I can get instructions from the imperial court there... I know everyone well Brothers and most of your subordinates are locals from Youzhou. You have done well enough in the past few months. Therefore, this general will not take it personally. Next, brothers, if you don’t want to leave, feel free! This general’s military supplies There is still a little money from the official, and then everyone will share it together."

Even in modern society, Chinese people's affection for home and homeland is still a unique cultural phenomenon.Not to mention the era of the Three Kingdoms.

For these Youzhou knights, it is only natural to fight in their hometown.Although the current battle situation is unfavorable, on the one hand, everyone feels the kindness of Meng Shijun, and on the other hand, they also have the support of the belief in defending their hometown, so they can persevere.What does it mean to go to Jizhou?We Youzhou people have no obligation to shed blood for the defense of Jizhou.Besides, we serve as soldiers in Youzhou, although we can't go home often.But no matter what, I live in Youzhou after all, so if you don't tell me what's going on at home, the family in Youzhou won't persecute you too much.What if we leave Youzhou and go south at this time?

In the end, after everyone's timid expressions.Gou Xi found out sadly: only more than [-] riders were willing to follow him to go south to Jizhou.

Aside from grief, Gou Xi is also grateful: he is not Meng Guan after all, and he has been in Youzhou for too short a time.The military spirit is not fully attached.If it is not here to explain it clearly to everyone openly and honestly, but to lead the army southward on its own will.No way, he would be killed by his own people on the road!

After everyone bid farewell, Gou Xi led more than [-] riders and continued southward in despondency.On February [-], they arrived at Gaoyang County in Hejian County, Jizhou.

"Cui Ti, the county magistrate of Gaoyang, pay my respects to General Zhonglang."

"The county lord is free of courtesy. Cui Xianzun, these brothers have traveled a long distance and are exhausted here. Please send someone to boil water for cooking and feed our war horses."

"The next official knows, Zhonglang will invite you inside."

This Cui Ti was born in Boling Township, Anping County, Anping County.Yes, this one, like that Lu Zhi, is also the Boling Cui family, one of the five surnames and seven Wangs from later generations.

In the Three Kingdoms period, Cui Yan was of course the celebrity of Qinghe Cui.On Boling Cui's side, Cui Shi is the number one.At this time (273), the representative of Boling Cui is Cui Hong, who is now also holding the important position of Shangshu Zuocheng in Luoyang.In short, the five surnames and seven Wangs of these later generations have accumulated quite strong capital in this era.Whether in the court or in the local area, they have a strong voice and control over the local area.

This Cui Ti is considered to be an offshoot of the Cui family.Therefore, he is more than 50 years old now, and he is just a county magistrate.

Because she is a concubine from a side branch, although this Cui Ti came from a wealthy family, she used to have a flattering smile on everyone in the family.So facing Gou Xi at this moment, the natural instinct of that day was brought into play, and Gou Xi felt like a spring breeze in an instant.

"Zhong Lang will kill the enemy for the country. It's been hard work. Although I don't have the ability to carry a sword in battle, I admire such a hero the most. Come, General Zhong Lang, win victory!"

"Hey, I'm ashamed. Don't say anything, Xianzun, Yin Sheng!"

"General Zhonglang is good at drinking, please drink again!"

"Uh... the county lord, forgive me, Xi is really sleepy today, really... really... bang~~!"

After a while, a basin of cold water poured down his head, and Gou Xi woke up leisurely, feeling that his whole body was tightly bound by ropes.

"Cui, what do you want to do?"

"Hehehe, to be honest, General Zhonglang received a notice from General Jiang Boyue of the Han Kingdom the day before yesterday. There are officials who can voluntarily return to the Kingdom of Han and retain their original posts. Those who can take General Zhonglang and send them to the General , Promoted to a higher rank. Ti thinks that Zhonglang will be the qualification for promotion."

"You! You are so shameless!"

Speaking of which, Lu Zhi is a descendant of the Lu family, so he needs to talk about style when doing things.In the same way, if the sons of the Cui family do things, they also have to worry about their own reputation.But this Cui Ti is a bastard from a side branch, and he is a doormat in a big family.Such a person doing things is of course pure egoism.

"Hey, General Zhong Lang, don't be angry. The victory of the Han Dynasty and the defeat of the Jin Dynasty are the general trend of the world. A hero like General Zhong Lang should be very clear. What I do today is actually to preserve the reputation of General Zhong Lang. .With the ability of General Zhonglang, he will be reused when he goes to the big man. No way, everyone will be ministers in the same hall in the future, and the lower officials will also be protected by General Zhonglang. Hahahaha~~~"

"Shameless! Shameless villain! Good! If you want to subdue the Shu thief, just go! I will also go to subdue the Shu thief. When the time comes, I don't think I will kill you!"

"Hey, General Zhonglang is still under twenty. You have such thoughts in your heart, why do you say it? By doing this, you are not forcing the officials to kill you?"

"This... hey! As a military general, you can't die on the battlefield, but you actually died at the hands of a villain. What a shame!"

"Hahahaha~~ General Zhonglang, whether you are a villain or a hero, the most important thing is to live a long life. Come here, send General Zhonglang and his subordinates on the road!"
