As soon as Zhang Xun said this, Kong Sheng's heart sank, but he was deep and well disguised, and he did not show any unusual changes in mood and expression.
The water in Suiyang, just like the imperial court, is deep.
Although Zhang Xun is a loyal general, he firmly controls the military and political power in Suiyang, and even Xu Yuan is difficult to turn over from his hands.
This shows Zhang Xun's means.
Kong Sheng originally thought that as a county commander, he should at least have his own space to independently act in government affairs and the power to command operations, but these powers and spaces were taken away by Zhang Xun's understatement, under the banner of urgent subordination in the big war.
Kong Sheng suddenly realized that if this was the case, he might as well stay in Pengcheng and serve under the command of Li Ju, the king of Yu. is also a fly camp dog, at least there is no personal danger in Pengcheng.
Moreover, there is also Li Xuan, the county lord of Fengyang, as a background backer, so it is easier to mix with Li Ju.
From this point of view, Kong Sheng sighed in his heart, he is still a little idealistic and emotional, involving power, even if it is a great enemy, there will inevitably be disputes and deceit, you know, Zhang Xun These people are actually not good stubble, although they sacrificed their lives for the country, but it does not mean that they are all humble gentlemen who speak civilization and rules.
In fact, from the analysis of the scales and claws recorded in the history books, Zhang Xun and others still have a dark side of brutality and madness in their personalities.
For example, Zhang Xun's cannibalistic controversy.
"It is said that at that time the city had run out of food and grass, and the horses died and ate the horses.
When the horses were exhausted, the soldiers began to feed themselves on bark and paper.
The bark and paper were eaten, and birds and mice were eaten, and later even the leather armor they wore was eaten.
Subsequently, Zhang Xun actually donated his concubine and watched the soldiers eat it.
Xu Yuan saw that Zhang Xun offered his concubine, and also killed his slaves to feed the soldiers.
Later, when the family finished eating, they could only eat the people.
They ate the women first, and when the women had finished eating, they chose those who could not fight, the old, the weak, the sick and the sick to eat.
And the people of the city knew that they were going to die, but not one of them escaped. ” This is the details that are real.
Although Zhang Xun's merits are greater than his faults, cannibalism is a helpless move, for the sake of national righteousness, but in any case, this crazy behavior is enough to explain a lot of problems in any context As soon as he thought of this, Kong Sheng's heart flashed, and his life plan and thinking adjustment, which were not clear and definite before, became very firm at this moment.
Kong Sheng smiled slightly, and arched his hand to Zhang Xun: "The subordinate obeys the order." ” At this time, Lei Wanchun stood aside and hugged his fists and said: "Kong County Order, the last general Lei Wanchun, your residence will be arranged by a certain family, and after a while, you will come with me." ” This person is Lei Wanchun Kong Sheng's eyes flashed a glimmer of light, he looked at Lei Wanchun seriously, and suddenly clasped his fists and saluted: "Kong Sheng has seen Uncle Lei" Kong Sheng is a county official of Bapin, as a county commander, as long as he does not die, he can be promoted at any time, but Lei Wanchun is just the lowest level of the officer and the lieutenant of Rong, although he is used by Zhang Xun as a general, but the rank is still extremely low.
If it is publicly speaking, Kong Sheng, as a Shangguan, is impossible to meet Lei Wanchun.
But don't forget, Kong Sheng and Lei Wanchun's third son Lei Tingjin are righteous brothers, so Lei Wanchun is Kong Sheng's elder in private, and it is natural for the younger generation to see the elders.
It's just that Kong Sheng suddenly chose to disclose the relationship between the two in public, which made Lei Wanchun slightly embarrassed.
The corner of Kong Sheng's eyes swept over Lei Wanchun's embarrassed red face, and secretly turned to Zhang Xun, whose gaze suddenly became sharp, and an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Lei Wanchun rubbed his hands, cleared his throat, and said softly: "Kong County Order, don't be like this, Lei doesn't dare to be it." ” Zhang Xun frowned and interjected: "Wanchun, you and Kong County Ling are still old acquaintances" A certain deep suspicion in Zhang Xun's eyes saw that Lei Wanchun was somewhat worried, he smiled bitterly, turned to salute Zhang Xun, and was about to explain a few words, but he heard Kong Sheng smile indifferently: "Zhang Zhongcheng, Xia Guan and General Lei's third son Tingjin have eight friends, since they are righteous brothers, then, General Lei is Kong's elder, and he will be happy to meet him face to face." ” Zhang Xun sighed: "As far as this official knows, Kong Xianling is a Jiangnan clan, and Tingjin's child grew up in Bozhou and Henan since he was a child, how did you two meet and become brothers of the opposite sex?"
Kong Sheng chuckled: "I met by chance on the way to the post, and when I saw it, I was like-minded, and I worshiped as brothers of the opposite sex on a whim, and I also asked Lord Zhongcheng to forgive me." ” There was a slight sarcasm in Kong Sheng's words, which meant that I had married Lei Wanchun's son and forgot to report to you, the Shangguan, please don't get angry.
This is a kind of counterattack to Zhang Xun's repeated questioning.
Zhang Xun laughed: "They are all heroic young men, Kong County Ling really has a fate with me Suiyang, my generation sticks to Suiyang, and in the future, we should fight with the Henan rebels to the death."
Zhang Xun laughed, and his voice became lighter: "Kong County Order, this official heard the news, you came to Suiyang this time and brought a Modao cavalry team of more than 100 people, this is true."
Kong Sheng smiled and replied, "Yes, Lord Zhongcheng."
Xiaguan Henan passed through Pengcheng on his way to his post, and His Royal Highness King Yu saw that Xiaguan entered Henan alone, and he was grateful for the crisis in Henan, so he specially allocated more than 100 people as Xiaguan's escort and came to Suiyang together. ” Kong Sheng originally told the truth, and the reason why he mentioned Li Ju and did not mention Li Xuan was mainly to avoid causing trouble for Li Xuan, and so as not to leave people with a handle to give birth to right and wrong in the future.
But his truth-telling changed the taste when it reached the ears of Zhang Xun and others.
Who is Li Ju, the king of Yu, Zhang Xun naturally knows it.
He sent people to Pengcheng many times to ask for help and food, but he did not get the slightest response from King Yu.
But Kong Sheng, a county official who passed by, was very generous to give more than 100 cavalry as a protector, what kind of care does this mean Zhang Xun smiled coldly in his heart, and said secretly: Since you are on the territory of Suiyang, even if it is Li Ju's person, you don't want to turn your head and go to the protégé of the Son of Heaven If you dare to violate the military orders of this official, Hugh blames this official for turning his face and being ruthless Thinking of this, Zhang Xun waved his hand and said, "Wanchun, take Kong County to rest in peace."
Zhang Xun and Kong Sheng's first meeting, each of them left a very good impression.
There are mainly two factors: first, Zhang Xun disagrees with the imperial court canonizing a young scholar to take office, and now Suiyang needs the support of the army, grain and grass, and baggage.
Second, Kong Sheng is suspected of being a member of King Liju's faction, which makes Zhang Xun, who has always been at odds with King Yu, unhappy, and can be regarded as hating the house and Wu.
From the beginning, Zhang Xun did not mention how to place Kong Sheng's more than 100 cavalry teams, which made Kong Sheng have an ominous premonition in his heart.
Lei Wanchun hurriedly walked in front, followed by Kong Sheng.
After leaving the Taishou Mansion, Kong Sheng saw Lei Tingjin with a sad expression with a faint joy at a glance, waiting on the side of the road.
Behind him, there were two young men with the same majestic figure as him, with similar faces.
Seeing Kong Sheng go out, Lei Tingjin strode over happily, hugged Kong Sheng warmly, and then introduced with a smile: "Third brother, this is my eldest brother Lei Tingfa, and this is the second brother Lei Tingjun." ” Kong Sheng clasped his fists on the spot and saluted Lei Tingfa and Lei Tingjun: "Kong Sheng has seen two brothers" In any case, Kong Sheng is an official of the imperial court, Songcheng County Order, how dare Lei Tingfa and Lei Tingjun snub the two of them laughed and avoided going away, but they hugged their fists in return: "Lei Tingfa Lei Tingjun has seen Kong County Order" Kong Sheng laughed, walked over and patted the shoulders of the two of them and said sincerely: "Two brothers, if you can afford Kong, you can call me the third brother like the second brother, and as for the official position or something, I will not mention it in private." ” Lei Tingjun and Lei Tingfa quietly glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that the third child's words were not false, although the brother he worshipped halfway was an official of the imperial court and was born in the noble court of Jiangnan, but he did not have the slightest sour smell and the stinky shelf of the official, which made people feel very kind and bold.
The two of them think this feeling is good, and Kong Sheng is also a good person, and it is worth handing. oshow7 t1706231537:
