Piaotian Literature Chapter 50 A very wise decision
Guo Kan has been having a hard time recently. When he returned to rescue Kaifeng, he failed to achieve any results. King Qin's army retreated to Luoyang in time. Guo Kan's army was blocked at Xingqing Pass, and the 100,000-strong rear army was defeated by the Han Dynasty. The cavalry sneak attack made historians very dissatisfied with Guo Kan, although the responsibility for the annihilation of the rear army should be borne by the rear army general Li Boyou.
"But Li Boyou died in the battle, and the dead do not need to bear responsibility!" []
Even Shi Hui, who had always been a mild-mannered man, criticized Guo Kan, not to mention Shi Ge and Shi Shu. The historians who once dominated the Central Plains with strong soldiers and horses and had unlimited glory were in trouble. The huge gap made Shi Ge unacceptable and furious. He lost his mind. Guo Kan's unfavorable battle made him the first target of his anger, while Shi Shu and Shi Hui ignored him without saying a word.
So Guo Kan suffered a tragedy and was directly relieved of his military power, leaving him free at home.
This news made the agents sent to Kaifeng by Liu Huai extremely happy. However, Guo Kan's existence was always a huge threat to the Han Dynasty, so the agents went out everywhere and continued to spread rumors, praising Guo Kan's abilities and shifting the responsibility for the annihilation of the rear army. On top of Shi Jia's command mistakes, the people who had long been resentful about handing over the banknotes suddenly believed in the incompetence of Shi Jia's three brothers, and the people's support suddenly turned against them!
In Kaifeng Mansion, although there were a lot of public opinions at this time, and even recited in the streets, it had not yet reached the ears of the three Shi brothers. In this era, the disparity in class between the rulers and the common people formed a huge gap. , insurmountable!
At this moment, the senior officials of the historians were holding military discussions, and Guo Kan, who had been relieved of military power, was naturally excluded.
"Three heads of the family, yesterday the Han army's 100,000 cavalry hurriedly went north and headed straight to the east of the river. According to detailed reports from the north, a large number of grain, grass, cattle and sheep have begun to be dispatched to the east of the river." The steward of the Shi family reported respectfully. Report.
"Isn't Hexi the territory of Qin Wang Mang Ge La? Could it be that the goal of the Han army has changed?" Shi Hui was quite surprised.
The land that the historians occupy in the Central Plains has always been the target of all forces, and the big Han who regards himself as orthodox will naturally not sit idly by. Therefore, Shi Hui believed that the historians were the targets of the Han conquests.
But now, all the Han cavalry have moved north to Hedong. This abnormal behavior left Shi Hui and others puzzled.
"Song Lao, what do you think about this matter?" Unlike Shi Hui's surprise, Shi Ge's silence, Shi Shu respectfully asked Song Zizhen for advice.
At the beginning, Song Zizhen was considered one of the few counselors in the Yuan court who could exert influence on Kublai Khan. However, in terms of wisdom and strategy, he was not as good as Yao Shu, and in terms of vision and courage, he was not as good as Lian Xixian, so he ranked second to these two. , but his sophistication is beyond the reach of ordinary counselors.
"The Han must have some plans for Hexi. By occupying Hexi, he can obtain land to herd horses, recruit party troops, and rely on the Hetao. He can control the grassland in the north and control Shaanxi in the south. These are all very beneficial to the Han, or they can also There are other reasons, but I can't tell the specific ones at the moment." Song Zizhen analyzed.
"Mr. Song, could this be a plan by the Han army to attack Guo under false pretenses?" Shi Ge, who was silent, suddenly spoke up.
Hearing this, Song Zizhen looked thoughtful, and then said: "No, if you want to deal with my historian, there is no need to spend so much time! My historian's troops are gathered in Kaifeng, no matter where the Han army comes from, it will be the same."
When the words came out, the three brothers of the Shi family were both happy and ashamed.
Today's historians have suffered greatly from the handover notes printed by Liu Huai. They are trapped internally and externally, the people's livelihood is resentful, and there is insufficient food and grass. They are unable to fight externally. In order to prevent mutiny, they dare not divide their troops and send them to garrison in various cities. They can only concentrate them near Kaifeng and control them nearby. !

Dadu
The whole capital was boiling because of an imperial edict from Emperor Liu Fuheng of the Han Dynasty to select a concubine for the crown prince Liu Huai. Regardless of family status, wealth or status, any woman who meets the requirements and has not left the government can apply to the government.
I am looking for a wife for my son!
As the news spread, Dadu, Hebei, and even the entire Han Dynasty were in a state of excitement. Everyone who had a beautiful woman in the family and had not left the cabinet was excited.
Unlike the previous concubines selected by the Yuan Dynasty, which were avoided by the people, now Liu Fuheng selects concubines for Liu Huai, and people flock to her. The reason is very simple. As the crown prince of a powerful man, it goes without saying that the crown prince has a transcendent status and is the best candidate for the future queen. And anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Huai, who holds the power of the world's military and horsemen, has a very stable position.
And according to folklore, Prince Liu Huai occupies a large island to the east, which is rich in gold and silver. The money in the prince's palace is greater than that of the country.?There are more. It is said that the prince has repeatedly allocated money from his own palace to support the Han Dynasty's treasury, which is why the Han Dynasty's taxes can be kept so low!
The Crown Princess, the future Queen, is a huge temptation for every woman!
Needless to say, ordinary civilians, even big families, famous aristocrats, and relatives are undoubtedly very tempting words. If your daughter is selected, your entire family will also become prosperous!
Therefore, the crowds in the capital city surged, and the ceremonial supervisor under the Ministry of Rites, who was responsible for selecting concubines in the capital, was surrounded. What's more, many people actually surrounded the East Palace Gate!
Faced with all this, Liu Huai was so distressed and his scalp was numb. His Tiger Guards killed countless enemies in the south and north battles. He was helpless in the face of the people who came to sign up in droves full of hope. After some explanations After all the persuasion, I was already exhausted. In just half a day, the tiger guards at the door had rotated several times!
Liu Huai had to order to set up fortifications such as horse-rejection horses 200 steps away from the East Palace to stop the crowd!
"Let the Tiger Guards prepare and leave for Shizhou in advance. Tomorrow, oh, no, leave tonight!" In the end, Liu Huai had to make a very wise decision!
Selecting concubines for the public!
His father, Liu Fuheng, is so talented. Liu Huai is so impressed by his admiration. He has seen crazy crowds on the high-rise buildings of the East Palace. Such a grand occasion may not even be matched by future drafts!
Although the congestion and chaos at the entrance of the East Palace gave Liu Huai a headache, such a large-scale selection of concubines made Liu Huai somewhat expectant. He wanted to know what kind of outstanding woman would be selected in such an audition!

Jianning Jia Sidao's Mansion
Lu Shirong and his party entered the manor. However, he saw that there were all kinds of exotic flowers and plants along the way. Even with his extensive knowledge, he could only identify some of them. The beautiful maids he met were dressed in extremely luxurious clothes. Even the gold ornaments worn by the real wives of the northern Mongolian nobles were not as good as those worn by them. The ordinary maids in Jia Sidao's mansion are surrounded by buildings on both sides of the palace, which are far inferior to even the current imperial gardens of the Han Dynasty!
Everything amazed Lu Shirong!
He didn't know that Jia Sidao's national policy of buying public land raised a large amount of money and grain for the Song Dynasty's treasury to support the decades-long confrontation between the Song and Yuan fronts. Naturally, he himself was also plucking his hair, and the benefits he gained were Astonishing!
What surprised Lu Shirong even more was that as he went deeper into the garden, there were actually a large number of prostitutes, maids, and even nuns among the women in the mansion! At this moment, Lu Shirong's expression became quite strange. Jia Sidao's taste was really extraordinary!
Heavy flavor!
Just when Lu Shirong was thinking wildly, he was taken to a courtyard. At this moment, a Jia Sidao was lying on the ground, playing with crickets with his concubines. Jia Sidao was not aware of the arrival of Lu Shirong and his party at all.
Lu Shirong stood aside, waiting calmly without any sign of impatience. At the same time, he also secretly observed Jia Sidao. This man who dominated the Southern Song Dynasty was born with a good appearance, and now even in his twilight years, he is still handsome.
?????????????????????????????? After a long time, the winner of the battle was decided, and Jia Sidao won. In front of everyone, Jia Sidao touched the chest of the concubine who had lost the game, and then looked at Lu Shirong, observed, and then said:
"I'm afraid Hao San doesn't have friends as generous as you. Why did you sneak into my house?"
As soon as the words came out, the big men in green who were standing guard on both sides drew their swords and placed them on Lu Shirong and his group. When Lu Shirong responded incorrectly, they killed him and his group on the spot!
Lu Shirong was not afraid of the weapons, and said to Jia Sidao: "Duke Wei, I am here to help you regain power!"
Hearing this, Jia Sidao's eyes, which had been dimmed from being immersed in wine and sex, suddenly shot out an extremely fiery light.
