Chapter 67 House Appreciation
Sima Yue soon learned the whole story of the conflict between Shao Xun and Sima Ying.
He did not pay attention to the details, but focused on asking about Sima Ying's expression at that time. After learning that he left with a dark face, he laughed.
“How magnificent!” He knelt down on the futon, slammed the table and praised it.
If he is a person praised by heaven, he is a true god general!
There are actually people in the shogunate who persuade themselves to give up Shao Xun, just like they gave up Sima Yi, and find an opportunity to deliberately let him be "accidentally" caught by Shi Chao's people, and befriend Meng Jiu in order to win Time...
How ridiculous!
Such a fierce general and a native of Donghai, how stupid would I have to be to give up!
The princess is right, this is Tianzan! God praises!
“Reward!” Sima said in a hoarse voice as he became more and more excited as he thought about it.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what to reward?" Mi Huang asked softly.
Yes, what is the reward? Sima Yue was also stunned.
Promotion is temporarily impossible. He is still reorganizing the Forbidden Army. The organization has not yet been sorted out clearly and there is no vacancy.
"Have you finished the filial piety and integrity exercise?" Sima Yue turned to look at Dai Yuan, the military counselor and the wine drinker, and asked.
"We still have to wait until May to complete the journey. In June and July, we can officially serve as Lieutenant Sima and be issued an official seal." Dai Yuan replied.
He has actually been running very hard.
This year’s promotion of filial piety and integrity in the East China Sea is a special event, and the speed can be described as fast. Even so, he was still urged by Sikong. Dai Yuan was angry in his heart, why is this Shao Xun so inconvenient!
However, he soon thought of the heroic act of catching someone alive, and he felt excited in his heart: If I were captured alive like this, it would be really embarrassing. When I was thrown to the ground, I would probably fall apart.
"Is there an ownerless house in Beijing?" Sima Yue asked.
"Yes, yes." Dai Yuan replied: "After the death of Huangfu Shang, a common man Sima Yi joined the army in the shogunate, his family died or dispersed, and the house was occupied by his relatives. When Zhang Fang entered the city, another All the relatives of Dasuo Huangfu Shang were killed, but now no one lives there. Outside the city, Huangfu Shang also has a garden, which is also uninhabited. "
Huangfu Shang was the protagonist of the whistleblower incident, and ordered Sima Yongai to capture and kill Li Han for Sima Yi. Bian Cui and Feng Sun died together, and Zhuge Mei and Qianxiu fled to Yecheng.
Later, Huangfu Shang traveled westward with the imperial edict and asked for help from his brother Huangfu Zhong, the governor of Qinzhou. When he arrived in Xinping, he met his nephew and was tricked and killed.
Sima Yongsu hated Huangfu Shang and wanted Zhang Fang to kill all his family and relatives.
Guanzhong soldiers are still besieging Tianshui. Huangfu Zhong personally came to the city to supervise the battle, killing so many people that Sima Yong even wanted to give up.
After listening to Dai Yuan's words, Sima Yue thought for a moment.
Although Huangfu Zhong is the governor of Qinzhou and his heart is devoted to the imperial court, he is alone in Guanxi and may not be able to support him. Thinking of this, he quickly made a decision: "I will give Shao Sima Huangfu's commercial residence and garden. I will also give a batch of gold, silk, money and food. You can decide the specific number."
"Promise." Dai Yuan was confident.
All the Huangfu merchants are almost dead, and their estates will be abandoned sooner or later. It is better to reward them and win people's hearts.
After admiring the house, Sima Yue turned to He Lun with a straight face and scolded: "Look at how brave Shao Xun is, but you are so sparse. If I go to the battlefield, will I still dare to use you? ?”
He Lun had sweat on his forehead and accused him repeatedly.
Just now he brought two thousand soldiers from the army and Jizhou soldiers for a drill, but he couldn't even hold on for a moment or three, and collapsed with a crash, and his eyes were wide open.
Sima Yue snorted coldly and said nothing more. He Lun was an old man, so it was better to save some face.
Besides, although Shao Xun is brave, there must be necessary checks and balances. No matter how bad He Lun and Wang Bing are, they can balance Shao Xun to some extent and prevent him from running too fast - to maintain the balance of the internal power structure. It is a skill that superiors must master. People like Shao Xun who stand out from the crowd sometimes really make their superiors love and hate them.
After saying this, Sima Yue stood up, looked at the dark military formation in the wilderness, and remained silent for a long time.
He knew that sooner or later he would have a battle with Sima Ying.
In his plan, it was best to take the Royal Army into battle together, but this time, he hesitated.
This soldier is really unbeatable.
Perhaps, they can only be allowed to stay in Luoyang and deal with Zhang Fang - if they attack Yecheng in the north, Sima Yong of Chang'an will definitely send troops eastward. To support Sima Ying, most of the leading generals were Zhang Fang.
The main force went north to fight the Ye soldiers, and diverted troops to block the Guanzhong soldiers. This was his plan.
It seems that the only option left is for the Wang Guojun to stay behind, but - can they really deal with Zhang Fang?
Perhaps, in the end, we have to place our hope on Shao Xun.
Alas! Sima Yue sighed, there were too few talents.
The speed of rectifying the Forbidden Army must be accelerated.
Thinking of this, he looked at the Forbidden Soldiers in the wilderness.
There is only one simplest reason why they are obedient now: to prevent the Hebei people from bullying them too much and forcing them to stay together for warmth.
If you could use your fingers like an arm - you would dare to charge Sima Ying in this wilderness now!
What can you hunt? You can hunt birds! Do you really think I'm being condescending to you?
******
Sima Ying left soon, along with the emperor's brother's chariot, costumes and full set of ceremonial guards.
From then on, Sima Ying could appear on the land of Hebei with the majesty of the emperor's brother. In fact, it is very possible that he would travel with the emperor's pomp and splendor, he could do it.
Shao Xun rarely leaves the city and goes home!
He now has two residences. The residence in the city is not large. After stacking a lot of sundries and equipment, there is not much room. Moreover, Zhang Fang sent people to burn it down and clean it up roughly. There were only a few rooms that could be inhabited, and it would be useless without major repairs.
So, he is going to the garden outside the city now.
"Not far from Jingu Garden, Huangfu Shang has built a new building in just two years." Pei Shiliu rode a horse and said to Shao Xun, who had not been to the other courtyard outside the city. . "Two years ago, Huangfu Shang was still the confidant of King Ji of Qi. After King Ji of Qi was defeated, he attached himself to Sima Yi, a commoner, but he survived this year and was defeated." Mi Huang, who came with him, sighed twice.
To be fair, Huangfu Shang has done a good job.
Being able to preserve the family, residence, and property after the defeat of Qi King Sima Ji, and successfully recruit and reuse Sima Yi is the ultimate human ability. However, he did not escape the new round of political reshuffle in Luoyang and was eliminated. The price of being eliminated was the destruction of his family. Men, women, children, and even relatives were all killed by Zhang Fang.
His brother Huangfu Zhong, the governor of Qinzhou, still persisted and was besieged by the Guanzhong army. His final end was probably not much better.
"Who owns Jinguyuan now?" Shao Xun asked.
Shi Chong has only been dead for four years. The once glorious Jingu Garden has not yet completely declined, and the rich and powerful should be interested in it.
"First it was taken back to the imperial court, and later it was given to Shi Yan. This person is Shi Chong's grandson, and he was named Leling Gong." Mi Huang said: "But Shi Yan had no interest in Jingu Garden and directly sold the valuable artifacts. , dismissed the servants, and then left Luoyang and returned to live in Leling Kingdom."
"This is a smart man," Shao Xun exclaimed.
“There are many smart people in this world, but it is one thing to see through it, and another thing to be able to do it. Shi Yan has no nostalgia for the prosperity of Luoyang, and he is not interested in the glorious and magnificent Jingu Garden. I just want to return to the feudal country to be raised, and I really think it through." Mi Huang said: "No one is taking care of Jingu Garden now, the grass is overgrown, and foxes are infested. It's a pity that Shi Chao was there just last month. I went to Jingu Garden once. He now likes living there. He goes there whenever he has something to do. "
"When Shi Chao lived in Jingu Garden, did he have many followers?" Shao Xun suddenly thought of something. He asked in a lowered voice.
Mi Huang has obviously also considered this issue. He looked around from the corner of his eye and whispered: "There are quite a lot of people. He often practices martial arts in that area."
" Forget it." Shao Xun decisively gave up the unrealistic idea.
After all, Jingu Garden is a mountain garden with a dangerous terrain. If you have trained troops there, there are probably shallow defense facilities, and it will be difficult to capture it for a while.
But it’s not impossible to use this to your advantage.
Sima Ying left less than 50,000 soldiers and horses in total, of which 8,000 or 9,000 were surrendered troops, guarding twelve city gates. How many men can be assigned to one gate on average?
Honestly, it would be better to gather these 50,000 people in one place. It would be equally intimidating and there would be no danger of being defeated individually.
If we find an opportunity and wait for Shi Chao to go to Jinguyuan, he launches a brazen attack, and the tens of thousands of people Sima Ying left in Luoyang will be given an account.
At that time, Shi Chao had no choice but to flee back to Yecheng in embarrassment and wait for his fate.
"Shao Jun has fallen in love with Jinguyuan?" Mi Huang asked with a smile.
"Even if Jinguyuan falls into my hands, I will only do a few things." Shao Xun said.
"Which pieces?" Mi Huang asked curiously.
“First, clean up those beautiful lotus ponds and raise fish.”
“Second, clean up the pastures and gardens and raise livestock.”
“ Third, use the remaining corners of the land to plant fruits and vegetables."
Mi Huang laughed.
This is really the answer that someone who doesn’t understand the style would give.
If an "elegant person" like Director Wang were to come over, he would feel the warm wind, fluttering catkins, rippling blue waves, misty misty rain, quiet bamboo sea, delicate flowers and even the elegant sound of the piano, beauty ladies, but not as disgraceful as Shao Langjun - do you understand the style of celebrities since the Wei and Jin Dynasties?
The main character is elegant, straightforward, and unrestrained. Can you talk to me about farming, raising fish, and raising cattle and sheep?
Mi Huang is really happy. The young man has not adapted to the status of a superior person. If he speaks out, he will be laughed at. He must be persuaded in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to integrate into the circle of scholars. .
Shao Xun also laughed and mocked himself: "I am a wild boar, I can't eat fine chaff."
In the circle of scholars, even if we include the relatively poor branches and those with lower family status, Is it true that a poor family accounts for one percent of the country's total population? Probably not yet.
Their life, or the so-called Wei and Jin style, is completely different from the other 99%.
The husband and wife in Shihao Village shed more tears when they parted ways than in the Palace of Eternal Life.
The style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the slave society coexisted at the same time, with more tears and blood than romance, this is the real Western Jin Dynasty.
"Two generals, the garden has arrived." Pei Shiliu pointed to a house in front of him hidden among bamboo trees and said.
Shao Xun looked around and saw more than ten people walking quickly.
"Who are these people?" he asked.
"General, these are the guests of the manor, regular servants, Dian Ji and others, a total of eleven people." Pei Shiliu replied.
“An old member of the Huangfu family?” Shao Xun was a little strange. Wasn’t he killed by Zhang Fang?
Pei Shiliu was silent for a moment, and then said: "The princess sent her, don't worry, it has nothing to do with the Pei family. There are dozens of slaves in the mansion, all of them are new recruits. The princess said, 'You are a lieutenant. Sima Jufu must recruit all the guests and servants before he can become the master."
Shao Xun was silent at the same time.
Why does Concubine Pei behave like the hostess?
Woman, you have to be sensible and let your husband know...
Shao Xun subconsciously looked back, only to see that Mi Huang had already ridden more than ten steps away and was staring at An old tree that was a bit old shook its head in admiration.
Looking behind him again, Chen Yougen and thirty knights from the teaching team all reined in their horses and stopped seven or eight steps away.
These guys!
