The south is already quite hot, and the north is a bit cooler. The lush foliage clearly conveys the message of early summer. In the second courtyard of the Zhongwu Jiedushi Mansion in Xuzhou, there are two old locust trees with green shade, which cast a large shadow on the blue slate ground.
At this moment in the shadow stood a young man dressed as a scholar. He raised his hands and looked up at the star-like sunlight in the gaps between the leaves, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if thinking about something.
He has a normal body and an unusual appearance, and he can't touch the four characters Fengshenjunlang. He will never be seen by every lady or lady in the street when walking on the street.
But he was well-dressed and meticulously trimmed. When he stood there, he had a temperament, not only the poetry and self-confidence in his belly, but also the thick and calmness that did not belong to his age.
A flash of lightning flashed from time to time under his eyes.
"Wu Sima, Lian Shi is invited." A clerk approached the young man with respectful respect.
Wu Hou nodded to the person, followed the other person through the gate of the corridor, came to the Sanjin courtyard, and went straight into the East Study Room.
Qin Zongquan has been raised by the Zhongwu Army to meet him. He smiled: "Mr. Wu is here? Please sit down."
Qin Zongquan was originally a Caizhou assassination history. The reason why he could occupy Xuzhou was to send troops to defeat the former Zhongwu Army Jiedushi Zhou Zhou. In the battle of the following offenders, the young scholar in front of him made a plan and played a great role, so Qin Zongquan showed very close to Wu Gou.
At this moment, Qin Zongquan's eyes looked at Wu Hou, just like the treasures falling from the sky. In fact, this young man was indeed almost the same as falling from the sky.
In the past, Qin Zongquan was still an assassin of Caizhou. When Caizhou recruited soldiers, he suddenly heard that a scholar in commoner asked for advice. After asking the other's whereabouts, Qin Zongquan rejected the other party's request because the other party did not have a prominent family history.
Not from Shuxiang Mendi, there is no famous teacher to teach, no family experience, how much real talent can there be?
It is said that Kong Ming was a farmer in the village of Nanyang, but in fact Kong Ming was not a common people. The ancestors of the ancestors did not say that the Zhuge family was the home of the famous scholars in Langya, and Kong Ming was also a temporary celebrity.
In the end, Wu Gou waited outside the Shishifu House. Qin Zongquan was recruiting talents at the time. He didn't want to lose the reputation of a neglecting scholar.
Unexpectedly, during a discussion, Qin Zongquan unexpectedly discovered that the other party was exceptionally knowledgeable and quick-minded, especially Qin Zongquan had a lot of suggestions for current affairs in Caizhou. Qin Zongquan was not a mediocre man, and when Wu Gou was included in the house, he became a guest and treated him with courtesy.
After a few greetings, Qin Zongquan, who returned to the main seat, asked, "Sir, what advice is there?"
Wu Hou arched his hand, his tone was smooth: "An Wang defeated Li Keyong, Li Maozhen attacked Chang'an, Zhu Wenfa sent troops to Lu, dare to ask Lian Shi what do you think?"
Qin Zongquan smiled: "The world is in chaos, and I will naturally take advantage of this opportunity to rise!"
Wu Hou nodded: "Then ask Lian Lian to give orders, and let Hou make the envoy."
Qin Zongquan froze: "What to do in Hedong?"
Wu Hou said: "Alliance with King An and deal with Zhu Wen together."
Qin Zongquan's face calmed down. He glanced at Wu Gou a few times before he said slowly: "An Wang attacked Hedong, and I took the opportunity to win the loyalty. This was an offense to the order of the court for King An. When King turned back, he did not deal with it Zhongwu is good, how can he join forces with Zhu Wen at this time? "
Wu Gou smiled.
This smile, with all sorts of calmness, all kinds of hills and rivers, is like the rushing river, and finally encountered a gap, and can be poured out wantonly.
He said: "The defeat of loyalty by the Lian Shi is a violation of the order of the imperial court. Because of this, it is even more important to help the King at this moment. An King accepted the Lian Shi's affection and will not be held accountable afterwards. As a matter of course, it is logical to make some merit afterwards to let King An recognize the status of the messenger.
Qin Zongquan silently fell into thought.
Wu Gou continued: "Zhu Wen attacked Ping Lu. Regardless of whether he succeeded or failed, he must start with Xuanwu's surrounded towns in order to flatten the Central Plains. At that time, Zhongwu took the brunt first. Without King An's solidarity, loyalty alone cannot be supported. "
Qin Zongquan nodded.
Wu Gou said, "Lian Shi has great ambitions. Taking Heluo in the north and Huaihe River in the south is an inevitable plan. If Zhu Wen is big, the plan of Lian Shi will not be realized. There is no room for tigers in the Central Plains. Beyond that, there should be no more powerful towns. "
Qin Zongquan's eyes brightened, and he looked forward to Wu Gou: "Mr. Is sure that he can convince King An to form an alliance with Zhongwu?"
Wu Hou's mouth slightly raised: "If things fail, Hook up and see you."
After ten days, Wu Hou led the messenger army of the Zhongwu Army and left Xuzhou City, exiting from the North Gate. Qin Zongquan personally sent out of the city.
The bright sunshine writhed in the yellow dust rising under the horse's hoof. Officials of all sizes, in different colors, followed Wu Hou under the protection of the armored soldiers, and the high-ranking monks dressed in strong clothes closely followed.
Qin Zongquan gave Wu Gou the confidence he should give. He had to meet King An on this trip. There were nearly ten carriages in the line, which were filled with the gift that Qin Zongquan brought to An Wang.
Wu Gou glanced back at Xuzhou City, more than three miles apart, and officials led by Qin Zongquan were still watching in front of the gate. Pedestrians on both sides of the official road, seeing such a battle, cast their awe at Wu Gou, and the young women and nuns who walked in it looked fascinated.
Wu Hou retracted his gaze and looked to the front of the official road. He suddenly smiled. He said to himself, "Be famous early."
...
Bypassing Xuanwu, all the way north, after many days of trek, Wu Hou finally reached the suburbs of Taiyuan City.
Inside and outside the pavilion beside the road, many people who are about to travel farewell to those who bid farewell. In this gloomy morning, the sadness of parting seems to be extraordinarily thick, and many people have tears on their faces.
Wu Hou retracted his eyes, smiled slightly, and said in his heart, "Inaction is on the way, children are stained with towels." He looked at the towering Taiyuan city wall, his mood was full of energy.
Behind the soldier in front of the tower, there was a young man flying in a black robe, and their eyes met unexpectedly.
At this time, a white-robed swordsman was passing by the messenger team across the blue-maned horse.
Wu Hou suddenly looked for a moment. Whether it was the young man in the black robe standing in front of the city tower, or the white robe swordsman galloping by, he felt an extraordinary temperament. One is as overbearing as a king, and the other is as elegant as a fairy.
"Ten thousand years in Taiyuan City, it really is amazing." Wu Gou muttered in his heart, and added some respect in his heart.
After Li Hui sent the first palace back to Nangong, it didn't take long to process the official documents, and he was reported by the people below, saying that it was the messenger of Zhou Ji who had been loyal to Jiuwu and asked to see him.
Li Yan accepted the post, but did not meet each other, but let people take them to the post.
After two days, Li Yan had decided to leave for Chengde. Before leaving, he met Wu Gou.
After receiving Qin Zongquan's letter and browsing it, Li Xuan placed the letter on the case and began to look at Wu Gou, who was standing in the hall.
Qin Zongquan's letter was very respectful. Most of the front was touting Li Zhigong's high reputation, saying how he admired Li Zhi and so on, and the latter half explained the intention of sending the messenger.
In this part, Qin Zongquan first scolded Zhu Wen Haosheng, saying that he had committed the following crimes, scourge the Central Plains and could not tolerate the crime, and then expressed his willingness to form an alliance with Li Yima to jointly deal with Zhu Wen and return to Central Plains Taiping.
Wu Gou naturally recognized it. The An Wang in front of him was the man in the black robe who had stood in front of the tower two days ago. In the face of Li Yan's examination, he could only stand as straight as possible. However, to his surprise, Li Zheng did not use repairs to give him a disappointment.
This is so. Wu Hou didn't dare to neglect. When he entered the government, he discovered that there were countless monks inside and outside the mansion, and the entire palace was as deep as the sea.
Even without these monks, Wu Gou had to be respectful, because he knew that Zhongwu and his fate were in the hands of the man in front of him.
Before seeing Li Yan, Wu Hou had imagined countless times in his mind. What kind of scene will he meet today? In view of the various attitudes and words Li Zhi will have, he also thought about the way to deal with it.
However, what surprised Wu Gou again was that Li Ye did not ask about Xu Zhou, did not ask why Qin Zongquan dared to seize loyalty, nor did he reprimand Qin Zongquan for contempt of court authority, and did not even comment on Qin Zongquan's respect and gifts. .
Li Xun Xu Xu said: "Which school did Wu Changshi study?"
Before he left, Qin Zongquan had promoted Wu Gou to a long history, which can be regarded as an increase in his weight.
In the face of Li Yan's question, although Wu Gou was surprised, he quickly answered: "Humble work barely counts as a scholar."
Li Yan smiled: "Confucianism?"
Wu Gou said earnestly: "The humble job assumes that the reader should be a learner of one hundred schools, and there is no need to be particular about which one. In this way, one can really make a difference, and do not make mistakes or people."
Li Yan gave a sigh, and had a little interest: "A young man at a young age, already proficient in the school of a hundred schools of thought?"
Wu Gou said humbly: "I dare not say that I am proficient, but I know a few things."
There was a hint of playfulness in Li Yan's eyes: "In this case, Chang Shi said, how would the solitary king handle Qin Zongquan?"
Wu Gou was startled.
Li Yan used the word "disposal".
Wu Hou remembered that the former Zhongwu Jiedushi Zhou Zhou, in the Chaos of the Yellow Nest, followed Li Yan saddle before and after the horse, and made a lot of credit. To say that Zhou Zheng has no friendship with Wang An, he absolutely does not believe it. But now Qin Zongquan has taken Zhongwu and imprisoned Zhou Zhe, of course Li Zhe is not in a good mood.
However, Wu Gou had already anticipated this. He considered the sentence slightly and immediately said: "Zhu Wen went against the law and even violated Pinglu. This is an outrageous sin. Qin Lian made himself aware that he had no merit to the society, so he was willing to follow His Royal Highness united to deal with the evil thieves, and also the great prosperity of Tang Dynasty ... "
Li Yan sneered and interrupted his words, "Union? Alliance? What qualifications does Qin Zongquan have, and dare to say that he is allied with the King of Solitude? Now you go back and tell Qin Zongquan that he has ruined the Phantom town and despised the authority of the court. After wearing guilt, he obediently listened to the solitary king ’s order and immediately entered Luzhou. Otherwise, the lone king backhanded and let his head move!
