Chapter 6: The Qing River Winds its Way through the Old Beijing (2)
Wen Shidao's face slowly changed from tiny to normal color, and he asked again: "Which old acquaintance did Brother Hua find?"
Zeng Baohua did not answer, but glanced at Guo Baozi sitting next to him. He smiled, got up and sat on another table, and started talking to Dai Chengen.
True knowledge and vision. Mr. Wen has shown his attitude and is willing to follow and live together to make a future. You are still pretending to be stupid here, and you must maintain a detached attitude. Of course, you must avoid you in confidential matters.
Only then did Zeng Baohua speak: "The surname is Xu, the name is Shouzhong, and the name is Zhijie."
"It's him?!"
"Mr. Wen knows Mr. Xu?"
"Mr. Xu Zhijie has been smart since he was a child. He was a child prodigy and later became a famous scholar in Hebei. I heard that when Liu Shouguang was defeated, he and Feng Gong (Feng Dao) of Cangzhou ran to Taiyuan together with the former emperor and returned to the command of the former emperor."
"It is. My father also accidentally learned that Mr. Xu had become a Hanlin Bachelor and a member of the Secretariat of the Secretariat. He is currently in charge of his position and where his residence is, but he doesn't know."
"Now the political situation is turbulent, and Brother Hua is rashly immersed in the capital. Haven't you ever thought that Mr. Xu might have ruined something because he was an old minister of the previous emperor?" Wen Shidao asked.
"There are not many literati as strong as Mr. Xu. Moreover, Mr. Xu has always been upright and does not form cliques for personal gain, so why fear it?"
Zeng Baohua said with a smile. Uncle Xu is having sex with Feng Dao, this person is auspicious and will definitely be safe.
Wen Shidao heard it another way, and his stiff face twitched slightly, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. He stopped pursuing this problem and began to help find someone.
"Official Xu is a famous scholar in Hebei. You can go to the Yanzhao Guild Hall in the city to ask, you should know."
"Thank you for your advice, sir!" Zeng Baohua said happily.
Luoyang City is so big, they really don’t know where to start. You can’t ask when you see anyone. If you look for it like this, you will be in trouble if you find it in less than half a day.
Seeing Zeng Baohua, Yan Xiaoyi and others gathered at another table, talking muttered, Guo Baozi, who had sat back, stared for a while, and couldn't help but whisper to Master Wen.
"Do you know their origins?"
"I know, it should be from Taihang Mountain." Wen Shidao replied calmly.
"Hehe, sir, my heart is bright. I have dealt with the group of people in Taihang Mountain and know some details. Brother Hua should be from Taihang Mountain Cat Claw Village, known as Yanshan Camp." Guo Baozi looked forward slightly and continued.
"Yanshan Camp? It is the Yanshan Camp that year that year, which was built in Yanshan east of Jizhou to protect itself, and fought with the Khitan cavalry more than ten times to help Taishi Zhou (Zhou Dewei) defend the Yanshan Camp in Youzhou City?" Wen Shidao's face changed slightly and he asked in surprise.
"It's them." Guo Baozi's eyes were filled with an unspeakable light and said angrily: "The Khitan encircled Youzhou City for more than 200 days. If it weren't for the tens of thousands of men, women, and young men in the Yanshan Camp in Yutian, Zunhua and the enemy had fought bloody battles with the enemy and restrained the support, Grand Master Zhou would probably not have been able to wait for the official family (Li Siyuan) and Fu Shangshuling (Fu Cunshen) to bring reinforcements to the arrival."
"Who knew that in the 18th year of Tianyou, Zhang Zhe (Zhang Wenli), the governor of the pseudo-liang Chengde, rebelled in Zhenzhou (Zhengding). The court sent troops to fight, but it fell into great officials and generals such as Longxi County Prince (Li Sizhao), Li Taiwei (Li Cunjin). Hebei was in turmoil, and Fu Gong came out from Youzhou to attack the rear. In order to appease the slander of villains, he sneaked into Yanshan Camp. The pillars of the northern border were gone overnight."
"Haha, isn't the court always like this? The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. Tens of thousands of righteous men, only three thousand old and weak are left. They are gone. When they heard that they destroyed their families and moved away, they sang in unison, 'Today's heroic souls, half of the Great Wall of yesterday.' All the people who heard it were crying."
Speaking of this, Guo Baozi's eyes were red and his body was trembling slightly.
"After hearing this, Mr. Fu killed the villain who made suggestions and lamented, 'I have fought for half my life and made countless achievements, but it is difficult to abolition the sins of Yanshan Camp.'" Wen Shidao was silent for a while, and finally said quietly.
"But what's the use? Can a person be resurrected by death? A loyal and righteous man did not die in front of the enemy's formation, but was desperate at his own hands." At this point, Guo Baozi was already gritting his teeth.
Wen Shidao looked at him and suddenly asked, "Mr. Guo Zhuang is from Daizhou. Are you close to Guo Jun (Guo Chongtao), the former Duke of Zhao County, Daizhou?"
Guo Baozi was stunned for a moment and said nothing.
Wen Shidao continued: "Mr. Guo was murdered by villains in Shu, and his five sons were hit by each other. I heard that only two young grandchildren were left, and Mrs. Guo was raised in Beidu (Taiyuan)."
After saying that, he stared at Guo Baozi and stopped talking.
Guo Baozi lowered his head and was speechless for a while, and finally sighed: "I am the nephew of Mr. Guo, whose original name is He Chuanting. My father was a native of Suizhou and was originally the commander of the Yong'an army. When he was a child, he died in the line of duty in the Tuyuhun tribe in Yunweizhou. His mother was Guo's sister and died of illness a few years later. Mr. Guo accepted me as his adopted son and gave me the name Guo Yanyi, and later became the general of the personal army."
"I followed Gong Guo to conquer Shu. When I was in trouble, I was ordered to escort the fourth brother Yan back to Luoyang and complain to the late emperor. Who knew that we had worked hard to sneak back to Luoyang. The late emperor directly killed the first brother Yan, without asking any questions. I was seriously injured at that time and was left in Mianchi and escaped. After the injury healed, I was depressed and kept hanging around Luoyang City."
"You want to wait for an opportunity to attack and kill the Central Officer Li Congxi? I heard that the Central Officer was ordered to go to Beidu for business in the new month of the month. He died on the way and lost his head. But what Guo Zhuangshi did?"
Wen Shidao knew about Guo Chongtao's misfortune. Empress Liu, who was the master of the commander, had been sentenced to death by the official family. Prince Wei (Li Jiji), led the army to the army to fight for Shu back. On the way, Wen Dao's rebellion, the former emperor passed away, and the army dispersed overnight. He committed suicide in Weinan in a dilemma. In the middle, he was sowed away the worst eunuch, Ma Yangui, Xiang Yansi and Li Congxi. Ma Yangui died in the chaos in Weinan. Xiang Yansi and Li Congxi fled back to Luoyang and continued to be the central official in the Escort Province.
When Master Wen saw Guo Yanyi staring at him, he didn't answer. He knew it in his heart and sighed: "Sir Guo Zhuang is a righteous man. He is a thief in chaos, and everyone can kill him!"
Guo Yanyi's face calmed down and he said slowly: "The Li thief has been hiding in the palace and not coming out easily, so I can't find his trace. Today I took the opportunity to enter the city together, just to visit the news of this thief."
"Well, such a deep blood hatred must be avenged! Besides, Mr. Guo is the pillar of the court. Innocent trouble, and the righteous people in the world will sigh. I am willing to help Mr. Guo with one hand!"
"Mr. Guo thanked Mr. Guo!" Guo Yanyi bowed with joy.
The two turned their heads and looked at the table. Zeng Baohua was whispering there, and painting on the table from time to time. The other four people were concentrated and nodded repeatedly.
"Although these four people were only fifteen or sixteen years old, they were well-off. Hua Ge'er was actually the leader and had the same style as a general. No wonder Yanshan Camp could stand in Yanzhao and protect the lands of Youji." Guo Yanyi was very knowledgeable in the army and could see that Yan Xiaoyi and others had received some kind of training since childhood.
