The next day, Sun Qian brought Yan Xiong to the market to buy some calligraphy and paintings. Then, they went to Yang Biao's Sikong Residence, explaining that it was introduced by the Great Swordsman Wang Yue. At the same time, he put in the Right General Kong Rong's invitation. Soon, Butler Yang Biao personally came to welcome them.
"I, Sun Qian of the North Sea, am the Chief Official of the Right General's Estate.”When Sun Qian saw Yang Biao, he hurriedly greeted him. In terms of rank, with Sun Qian's current status as the chief official of the Right General's Mansion, he was far inferior.
"There's no need to be so polite, Chief Sun. In the past, when Wenju was in the Eastern Capital, he once discussed poetry with this old man. After a year, Wenju is now a pillar in Shandong.”Yang Biao was extremely experienced in the court, and with the arrogance of Li Cui, Guo Si, and the others, he was still forced to hold the position of the three dukes, which showed his extraordinary prestige.
"General Kong You has racked his brains and fought in all directions to ensure the safety of one region and to preserve some strength for the Imperial Court. When Liu Qian was in Beihai, he often saw the right general sighing because he could not save the emperor from the night.”Sun Qian replied. I don't know what kind of friendship Yang Biao has with me. Even the current me has completely forgotten what happened in Luoyang, so I naturally can't tell Sun Qian that I can use some of my old connections. However, Sun Qian is a wise man. It is not a big mistake to tell this loyal official of my loyalty to the court.
"Hehe, General Kong You has hundreds of thousands of troops, and the millions of Yellow Turban soldiers in Qing and Yan fell apart in a snap of a finger. How impressive is that? Now, he has stopped in Puyang and has not advanced.”A scholar who followed Yang Biao suddenly asked. This person had a single eyebrow and thin eyes. His appearance was white and his words were filled with ridicule. Since Yang Biao was able to receive guests here, it was obvious that he was someone close to Yang Biao.
"How dare you? This is a military matter. How dare you say anything?”Yang Biao shouted," Teaching Chief Sun is effective. This is my son, Yang Xiu, also known as Dezu.”
It turned out to be Yang Biao's son, Yang Xiu. This person was erudite, eloquent, and intelligent. He was a famous eloquent person in Chang 'an.
"In the north of Qing Yan, there is Liu Bei, who pretended to be a member of the royal family, and Yuan Shao, who has ulterior motives. Previously, it was Liu Bei who allowed more than 100,000 elites of Black Mountain to go south and scorched the East County of Yanzhou. Now that the ambitious Lu Bu had come to the west, General Kong You was powerless to go west even though he wanted to.”Sun Qian, however, could not argue much, so he gently explained the difficulties of our army.
Yang Biao nodded slightly. Yuan Shao's actions in dealing with Dong Zhong had truly disappointed the discerning Yang Biao and the others in the Imperial Court. After Liu Bei gained power in Jizhou under the name of the Han clan, he did not show any signs of helping the king. He only planned to expand his power.
Kong Rong of the North Sea had been handing over his badge. Now, he was also coming to the west step by step, and his strength was gradually becoming stronger. Moreover, he knew Kong Rong very well. This person was the descendant of a Sage, and his loyalty to the Emperor and the country was unquestionable. The Imperial Court also had its own channels of information regarding Liu Bei's restraint and little tricks. Yang Biao knew more than Yang Xiu.
"I've come here to open up a passage to the west and attack Lu Bu. However, General Kong You was now the governor of Qing Yan, and the Si Li army in the west had no reason to do so.”Sun Qian took the opportunity to speak of his intentions.
"In that case, Wenju already had the intention to welcome the emperor back to the Eastern Capital?”Yang Biao looked at Sun Qian fervently. Now that Kong Rong had hundreds of thousands of troops in Shandong, he was the greatest force among the heroes. If he wanted to bring back the emperor, it might not be impossible.
Fortunately, we have discussed this matter before. Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and the others have also raised a hypothesis on this issue. They believe that if there is a chance, the Beihai Army will welcome the emperor back. Xun Yu is loyal to the king, and he is not harmful to our army. Guo Jia might not be loyal to the emperor, but he might have the idea of using the emperor to command the princes. I naturally understood the subtle differences in their thoughts, but I also agreed to welcome the emperor. This was a major reason for Cao Cao's success in the past. How could the future me not understand the important benefits involved?
Sun Qian was participating in the military affairs, so he was confident in these major matters.
"Exactly!" Sun Qian's brief words made Yang Biao's eyes light up. Although Yang Biao's achievements in military strategy were far inferior to Xun Yu and Guo Jia, he had been in a high position for decades, so his vision was still very sharp. In terms of strength, Kong Rong's army had the potential to dominate the world. With this person helping the Imperial Court, the Great Han might still be able to rise again.
Yang Biao no longer answered. He began to ponder in the living room.
"Then does General Kong You need an imperial edict to crusade against Lu Bu?”Yang Biao asked.
"Lu Bu was previously granted the title of General Fenwei, the Third Division of Rites and Rites, and was promoted to Marquis Wen. In terms of official position, he is not below my Lord, General Kong You. In terms of title, he is far above my Lord. Moreover, General Kong You had made great contributions many times. Previously, because Dong Zhuo had monopolized power and did not reward him, it had already made the soldiers feel cold.”Sun Qian replied. These words are to fight for a new official position for me.
In fact, with my current military achievements, it's not difficult for me to become a marquis or a general. It's just that because of Dong Zhuo's obstruction, I only got the empty title of Right General. Now that he had broken through hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban, he should at least be granted the title of Marquis.
Lu Bu was granted the title of Marquis of Wen because he killed Dong Zhuo. His title and honor are incomparable to mine. If I rashly crusade against them, it will inevitably be an excuse for others to offend their superiors.
Yang Biao also felt that it was quite inappropriate. "This old man has lost his mind. In the future, this old man will enter the palace to meet the emperor and will definitely seek justice for Wenju.”Yang Biao knew that if the army did not have a suitable reward, they could not expect the soldiers to risk their lives for the court.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Sun Qian took his leave after handing over the calligraphy and paintings he had bought.
"Father, this Kong Wen Ju befriended a martial artist favored by Wang Yue and the Emperor. He was clearly here to run errands, so why did you accept his gift?”After seeing Sun Qian leave, Yang Xiu finally could not help but ask.
"Xiu 'er, the court is in a state of chaos. Between Kong Rong and Li Cui, who do you think is more loyal to the court?”Yang Biao asked.
"Li, Guo Hulang, and the others are probably not loyal to the Imperial Court at all. Although Kong Wen Ju's actions had already deviated from the path of the Sage, he was still a direct descendant of the Sage, so he was presumably still loyal to the Imperial Court. It was just that Kong Wen Ju was a famous person of his generation, how did he become a professional now?”Yang Xiu obviously despised my actions.
"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary actions. This old man feels that Kong Wen Ju can put down his status as a celebrity and work hard to manage his business. Now that the jackals are in power, without strength, the Imperial Court has nothing to do. In this regard, Kong Wen Ju is much better than us old men.”Yang Biao sighed.
"This old man will definitely explain the details to the Emperor in detail. These people who are loyal to the court must be supported and rewarded to gather the hearts of the people and gather strength. Only in the future could he revive the court and revive the Han Dynasty. Xiu 'er, you're talented and intelligent. However, if you are too talkative, it will probably hinder your future and even bring about a life-threatening situation. Father has advised you many times, but you still didn't listen.”Unfortunately, Yang Xiu still turned a deaf ear to his father's warning this time. In his heart, his father was old after all.
