1203 Deploying troops(2/2)
"The Cavalry General is grand..."
"hehe……"
Wei Yan smiled so hard that he gritted his teeth.
Although he felt that Fei Yi's words made sense, he still couldn't swallow his breath.
This was definitely done intentionally by the Protectorate!
It must be in revenge for sending troops in the first place.
But Wei Yan had nothing to do.
After all, Fei Yi came here on behalf of the emperor, and what he said was naturally approved by the palace.
Since he had the support of the palace, Feng Mingwen had no way to stop him.
But similarly, this time the decision of the Central Protectorate was approved by the palace, and he had no way to change it.
After Fei Yi left, Wei Yan gritted his teeth several times, but still couldn't calm down.
The eldest son Wei Chang came in and happened to be angry, so he scolded him.
"What troubles have you encountered, Lord?"
Not long after Wei Chang went out in disgrace, another person came in without fear of death.
When Wei Yan saw the person, he suppressed his temper for a rare moment:
"Mr. Guo is here? Please sit down."
The person who came was none other than Guo Xun, who was personally recommended by Wei Yan to join the army.
Although Wei Yan was the Han Dynasty's left hussar general, he had few people around him who could help him make plans, which was a bit embarrassing to say the least.
Look at Mr. Feng, the right hussar, there are several people in the staff team alone!
It's really a waste of money to compare goods, and a death penalty to compare people.
In the past, when the Prime Minister was here, everything was arranged by the Prime Minister, so he did not need any staff to join the army.
I never thought that the Prime Minister would be gone, especially when I could finally lead the army alone, I would have to worry about everything by myself.
If there is no one around to help, it will really become a mess.
But Wei Yan also knew that his reputation was really notorious among his colleagues.
The most hateful thing is that when they heard that they wanted to come to Hedong Governor Zuo to help him, few people were willing to agree.
What a bunch of guys!
Fortunately, I met Guo Xun.
Guo Xunben was from Liangzhou. I heard that in his early years, his family was still a powerful family there.
Who would have expected that a few years ago when Feng was purging the Xinghan Society, my family would be implicated in it, and Zhao Sanqian would come to the house with his cavalry to express warmth.
He was just a side branch, so he would not have died, but after that incident, the Guo family fell into decline, almost on par with the Cangtou Guizhou family.
Guo Xun had no choice but to take some of his people to Hedong to seek refuge with his in-laws.
I never expected that after I came to Hedong, I would find that my in-laws were also in extreme poverty.
I heard that during the riots among the farmers in Hedong, the whole family would have been almost hanged if someone in the family hadn't run fast.
This is also the reason why Guo Xun came to seek refuge with Wei Yan.
According to him, he would rather die than contribute to Feng Yong.
Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, only General Zuo Hussar was the only one who could resist Feng Yong.
At first, in order to deceive others, he did not dare to say that he was from Liangzhou, but claimed to be from Hedong.
Of course, Guo Xun confessed all these things to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan, who was suffering from no one around him to help him deal with his affairs, was overjoyed to get Guo Xun.
As for the grudge between Guo Xun and Feng Mingwen, it was simply insignificant to Wei Yan.
The world has never seen Feng Mingwen, but it regards him as an enemy. I don’t know how many times, one more is not more, and one less is not enough.
Guo Xun was not only very talented, but he was also familiar with the land east of the river.
(Note: In the original history, Guo Xun said that "his merits and virtues made him famous in Xizhou")
At the same time, he recommended several children from various families who did not want to join Feng Mingwen - it may also be that some aristocratic families wanted to bet on both sides.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Guo Xun's arrival was a timely help to Wei Yan.
Therefore, Wei Yan not only personally recommended Guo Xun to join the army, but even called him sir in private.
"I heard from the Major General that the Lord has encountered something troublesome?"
Wei Yan called Guo Xun "sir" and did not call him "joined the army".
However, Guo Xun called Wei Yan a prince, not a hussar general.
This shows the closeness between the two.
When Wei Yan heard Guo Xun's question, he did not answer, but just sighed.
Seeing Wei Yan's expression, Guo Xun was a little confused:
"The army has been very peaceful recently. Only the emperor sent people to labor the army, which is a big event. But this is a good thing. Why don't you like it and get angry?"
"Sir, you don't know something!" Wei Yan sighed again and finally explained, "In addition to the labor force, the angel also brought me a piece of news."
"Oh?" Guo Xun subconsciously sat up straight, "I don't know what it is that makes the prince so worried."
"Feng Mingwen was invited by Wu Guo Lu Xun to send troops out of Wuguan to attack the Wei thieves. Now he has mobilized part of the Tongguan troops."
"Therefore, the Central Protectorate suggested to His Majesty that he should mobilize part of the army to defend Tongguan."
When Guo Xun heard this, his body trembled slightly, with a look of horror on his face:
"Feng Mingwen..."
Didn't Feng Mingwen stay in Chang'an?
How could he go to Wuguan at this time?
After shouting someone's name, Guo Xun's heart was spinning and he urged:
"The prince must not agree! Feng Mingwen's move is to ask the prince to help him make meritorious deeds!"
Hearing Guo Xun's words, Wei Yan couldn't help but slap his thigh:
"Sir, you are indeed my close friend! When I first heard about this, I had the same idea."
As he said this, he became a little angry again:
"What a shame, the son of the Feng family actually persuaded His Majesty. How dare I disobey him?"
When Guo Xun saw Wei Yan like this, his heart beat suddenly, and he tried to challenge him with words:
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, you will be outside, and you will not accept it..."
When Wei Yan heard this, his face showed emotion, but in the end he shook his head:
"That's inappropriate. If I had raised an army to attack Gaodu before Fei Wenwei arrived, I would still be able to say this."
"But Fei Wenwei brought His Majesty's will. If I do this again, it will be deliberate."
"How can it be trivial to say that Chang'an's safety is at stake with Tongguan?"
A trace of disappointment flashed in Guo Xun's eyes, and he sighed:
"It's just that if this happens, the monarch will be appointed as the governor of Hedong and force Feng Mingwen to make concessions. I may lose all his power!"
"Kuang Feng Mingwen is far-sighted, and Lu Xun is outwitted. When the two of them attack Jingzhou from a double flank, who in the world can take the lead?"
"If Feng Mingwen makes a meritorious deed by then, he will not only suppress the prince, but some may even laugh at the prince for being manipulated by Feng Mingwen."
Wei Yan let out a muffled groan.
Think about it, if what Guo Xun said became true, wouldn't it be more uncomfortable than killing himself?
He thought about it, but couldn't think of any good solution, so he subconsciously asked Guo Xun:
"Then in your opinion, sir, what should I do?"
