Chapter 728 Gaotanglong and Wenhui

Lu Bu first recruited Sun Li as the chief minister of the Grand Sikong, and asked him to follow him and accept the ideological rectification for half a year.

Anyone who has a bad deed in history who is dependent on the Sima family must undergo half a year of ideological rectification and completely exterminate the cancer of the aristocratic family rule in their minds, so that Lu Bu will be willing to let them go on either side.

Sun Li is only seventeen years old now. He first served as the captain in Lu Bu's Guards Teachers' Teaching Brigade. After accumulating some credit, he will be promoted.

When Sun Li was a clerk of Lu Bu, he met Lu Yu, a native of the same county. Although these two young men were fellow townsmen, somehow, as recorded in history, they disliked each other and got along extremely inconsistently...

Since the death of the Grand Tutor Lu Zhi, Lu Yu has been raised in Lu Bu's mansion, named Junior Brother. Lu Bu actually treats him like an adopted son. Lu Yu is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and is well-versed in matters and decisive in handling affairs, and has the spirit of a famous minister. Lu Bu followed the instructions of his master Lu Zhi and worked hard to cultivate Lu Yu, hoping that he can reorganize the Lu family of Fanyang and carry forward the situation in the future.

Lu Bu saw the disagreement between Lu Yu and Sun Li, but did not stop him.

The conflicts between civil officials and military officials, and the conflicts between various regional factions also exist in Lu Bu's army. If it were not for the great impact, Lu Bu never valued the unity of his subordinates, because civil and military officials were too close to each other and could easily undermine their superiors. Lu Bu was afraid that he would not have time and was in the mood to help them reconcile. However, Lu Bu also issued a strict order, ordering that major events were not allowed due to personal conflicts, otherwise it would be handled by military law...

When attacking Cao cāo, Lu Bu captured Xue Ti in Yanzhou. Xue Ti later became the Grand Sima Magistrate of Lu Bu. After three months of his talent, Lu Bu was recognised by Lu Bu. Lu Bu appointed him as the prefect of Langya and deputy army in Qingzhou to assist in the ban and Zang Ba dealt with Liu Bei in Donghai County.

At the same time, Wang Si and Xi Jia, who were as famous as Xue Ti, were also captured alive in Cao's army. After several months as the Grand Sima Officer in Lu Bu's teaching brigade, they became prefects of two border counties and led the military positions of the border army. Like Xue Ti, they were confucians on the outside and law on the inside and were capable of governing officials.

Xue Ti was not very good at serving as the prefect of Langya County, so he recommended one person, Gaotanglong, a native of Pingyang County, Taishan County, Qingzhou.

It’s strange that Gao Tanglong has a connection with Xue Ti in history.

Gao Tanglong was a common surname Gao Tang, and was a descendant of Gao Tangsheng, a native of Lu. Gao Tanglong was a student when he was young and was appointed as the supervisor by Xue Ti, the prefect of Taishan. At that time, the governor of the county fought for strength with Xue Ti and scolded him. Gao Tanglong pressed his sword and angrily scolded the governor and said, "In the past, Duke Ding of Lu was insulted, Confucius ascended to the higher ranks; King Zhao played the Qin zither, and Lin Xiangru let the King of Qin play the tiles and till he was called the king in front of his ministers. You should punish you according to etiquette." The governor was shocked, and Xue Ti quickly stopped him. Later, Gao Tanglong resigned and went to Jinan to take refuge.

In the 18th year of Jian'an, Gao Tanglong was appointed as the Prime Minister's Military Advisor by Cao cāo. Later, he served as the literature of Cao Hui, the Marquis of Licheng, and was transferred to Cao Hui's prime minister. When Cao cāo died, Cao Hui not only grieved, but also hunted everywhere. Gao Tanglong sternly advised and performed his duties.

Huang Junzhong was appointed as the chief of Tangyang and later became the Grand Tutor of Cao Rui, the King of Pingyuan. Cao Rui ascended the throne and appointed Gao Tanglong as the chief minister, doctor and son-in-law. At the beginning of Emperor Ming's ascendance, the ministers believed that he should make big moves. Gao Tanglong said: "Tang Yao and Yu Shun had a habit of being extremely quiet, while Emperor Gaozong of Yin had a habit of being silent. Therefore, he had a deep virtue and was surrounded by the world." He believed that it was not suitable to make big moves. Emperor Ming respectfully adopted his opinion and later served as the prefect of Chenliu. The herdsman Youmu was in his seventies and had character. Gao Tanglong summoned him as a plan to Cao's servant, and Emperor Ming appreciated him, and especially appointed him as a doctor, thinking that he was favored. Later, Gao Tanglong was appointed as the regular attendant of Sanqi and was awarded the title of Marquis of Guannei.

Emperor Ming built a large number of palaces, carved palaces, and consumed a lot of manpower. There were many natural disasters. Gao Tanglong submitted a memorial and advised him, and his words were urgent. After Emperor Ming of Wei, Cao Rui, reviewed the memorial, he said to the Zhongshu Supervisor, and Zhongshu Ling: "I was very afraid after reading Gao Tanglong's memorial."

At that time, there were many cases of conquests and harsh criminal laws. Gao Tanglong believed that the most urgent task was to promote rituals and music, worship Mingtang, cultivate Sanyong, support the elderly, build suburban temples, respect Confucian scholars, elect seclusion people, formulate various rituals, modify the morning and the new year, change the court uniforms, advocate filial piety and brotherhood, advocate frugality, and then prepare etiquette and implement Fengshan, so that the world can be unified without war. Emperor Ming followed his advice and changed the March month of the fifth year of Qinglong to April of the first year of Jingchu, and the court uniforms were changed to yellow, and the ancestral temple sacrifices were white, and the land was built with the twelfth month of the lunar calendar as the first month.

Later, Gao Tanglong became seriously ill and could not write, so he could only write oral memorials. The general content was: "God once issued a jing report that there was a pair of strange birds in the swallow nest in the palace, which was the biggest anecdote of the empire. We should strictly prevent bureaucrats from flying eagles to avoid disasters. I personally suggest that it is best to let the kings establish troops in the fiefdom, scattered around the country like chess pieces, distributed in important towns across the country, guard the royal family to protect the capital, and maintain the capital capital."

Although Gao Tang Long's idea was a bit slight, his insight into the world situation was very good. He was tactfully making Cao Rui look out for Sima Yi, but Cao Rui did not listen and asked Sima Yi to be alone, which led to Cao Wei being replaced by Sima family later.

Gao Tanglong did not have much political talent, but he was strong and dared to give advice. After Lu Bu asked him to stay in the Grand Sima for a few months, he became the Censor and the Censorate. He then sent him to supervise officials everywhere and tried his best to curb the corruption of officials from aristocratic families.

After that, Guo Qian, the governor of Liangzhou, recommended one person, who was Wen Hui from Taiyuan.

Wen Hui's father was named Wen Shu, who served as the prefect of Zhuo County in the Eastern Han Dynasty. When Wen Shu died, Wen Hui was only fifteen years old. After he escorted his father's body back to his hometown with the team, his family had little wealth. However, Wen Hui believed that the current world was in chaos, so he was useless to be a rich family. So he dispersed his family's wealth in one go to help those in need in the village party and clan. This made the villagers of Zhouli very commended.

Lu Bu enlisted Wen Hui as the Grand Marshal. He knew that he was well-versed in military affairs. Three months later, he was allowed to join the army. He was later promoted to the position of division lieutenant, military lieutenant, and in charge of criminal law in the military. Lu Bu's appointment was corresponding to Wen Hui's historical performance.

In history, Wen Hui was appointed as the magistrate of the filial piety and integrity, served as the magistrate of Linqiu, and then served as the magistrate of Yanling, Guangchuan, as well as the prime minister of Pengcheng and Lu. His performance in each performance was quite outstanding and highly appreciated by all parties. Later, Wen Hui became the chief clerk of the prime minister and served as an official by Cao cāo, and was highly valued.

Wen Hui was also the prime minister and the chief clerk, in charge of the military crime law. Once, in order to repay the kindness of Ma Tai, a fellow villager, who was involved in the love of Ma Tai, a member of the Sikong Army, who rescued his mother, was implicated by Ma Tai. When Ma Tai was about to be sentenced to Ma Tai for his death sentence because he was implicated by the incident, he privately ordered Ma Tai to escape from prison. Afterwards, Sun Li refused to escape from the crime, but directly surrendered to Wen Hui. After learning about the whole story, Wen Hui believed that Sun Li did a righteous act, so he told Cao Cāo the whole incident. In the end, Sun Li and Ma Tai were both exempted from death.

At that time, Yangzhou was the front line bordering Sun Quan's sphere of influence, and there were many wars. Yangzhou was the grain silo of Cao's army and confronted Sun Wu. Unless a wise and confidant minister could not be entrusted with this position, Cao cāo therefore asked Wen Hui to be the governor of Yangzhou. Before taking office, Cao cāo said to him: "I really hope to keep you by my side to assist the director, but the affairs of the Prime Minister's Office were not as important as governing Yangzhou's affairs." Cao cāo also sent Jiang Ji as Wen Hui's deputy. Jiang Ji had served as the Bian Jiao in Yangzhou before and was the prefect of Danyang at that time, so Cao cāo asked Jiang Ji to work for Bian Jiao in Yangzhou again to assist Wen Hui.

On the other hand, Cao cāo sent people to Zhang Liao, Le Jin and others who were guarding the border near Yangzhou: "The governor of Yangzhou Wen Hui is a military expert, and you must discuss everything with him."

In the 24th year of Jian'an (219 AD), Sun Quan led his troops to attack Hefei. On the one hand, Wen Hui stationed his troops to guard the army, and on the other hand, he told Yanzhou Governor Pei Qian: "Although there are enemy troops here, they are not afraid at all. Instead, I am worried that there will be an unexpected situation in the general Cao Ren, General of the South. Now the river is high, and Cao Ren's troops are lonely troops who are lacking support from the enemy and have not made long-term defenses. If Guan Yu, who has always been famous for his bravery, advances with the benefit of rising water, it will definitely be a disaster." As a result, Guan Yu took the time to attack Fancheng, causing Cao Ren's army to fall into a tough battle.

At that time, Cao cāo issued an edict in the name of the court to summon Pei Qian and Yuzhou Governor Lu Gong and others to lead the army to the order. Pei Qian thought it was just a general summoning, so he slowly adjusted the army after receiving the order. Seeing that Pei Qian was not aware of the situation, Wen Hui talked to him secretly: "From the current situation, it must be that the prime minister knew that the military situation in Xiangyang was in urgent need of the emergency, and he wanted you to immediately lead the army to support. The reason why he did not order the emergency summon was that he did not want the defenders in other places to be disturbed. You must be within this number.

You will receive a secret letter urging you to march immediately, and generals such as Zhang Liao will also receive a convening order. Zhang Liao and others will have to know the profound meaning of the lord for a long time. At that time, if their army rushed to the battlefield earlier than you who had already received the edict, you will definitely be punished!" Pei Qian listened to Wen Hui's words, left the baggage immediately, and ordered the army to set off quickly with light equipment. Soon after, Pei Qian received the secret letter that was urgently summoned, and Zhang Liao and others were also summoned, just as Wen Hui expected.

As people say, "Stand high and see far." Xiang and Fan Zhi's battle were as Wen Hui expected, because he had the ability to examine the overall situation. He could do so because he was tall and broad-minded. If his fame and fame were hindered by his eyes and his profits and wealth were entangled, he would definitely not have such foresight.
