☆, try to get a scholar

"Kong Ming, have you heard? The Second Young Master intends to test the scholars in Nanyang on the fifth day of next month. As long as the identity is verified, all scholars from other places can participate, and the top two will be selected as the history. This is the announcement posted by Deng County. "

Xu Shu walked into his classmate's room with a volume of handwritten official documents, his brows were bright.

He is a poor scholar from Yingchuan, whose real name is Xu Fu. When he was young, he was fond of swordsmanship. He committed homicide in order to speak out for others.During the Chuping period, in order to avoid the war, Xu Shu moved his family south to the Jingzhou area together with Tongjun Shitao, a good friend whom he met in the academy.

Compared with Yingchuan, which is raging in war, Jingzhou can be described as peaceful and prosperous.In the winter of the third year of Chuping, Liu Biao, the former governor of Jingzhou who was promoted by the imperial court to be the general of Zhennan and Jingzhou Mu, and named Wuhou, established an official school in Erli, south of Xiangyang City, named Xueyetang. Xu Shu and his friend Shi Tao went to visit the school. enter school.The 13-year-old boy in front of him is a classmate he met in the school.

"I've heard it before, but I didn't expect it to be confirmed so quickly. The second son's behavior style is indeed different from Liu Gong."

Seeing a friend visiting, Zhuge Liang put down the bamboo slips in his hand, got up and invited Xu Shu to sit down at the banquet.He is from Langya, Xuzhou. He lost his parents in his early years. Together with his two older sisters and younger brother Zhuge Jun, he attached himself to his uncle Zhuge Xuan. During Chuping years, he went to Jingzhou with his old uncle Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou. He attached Liu Biao and settled in the west of Xiangyang City. Longzhong Wollongong in Longzhong. [1]

Liu Biao entertained Zhuge Xuan, an old acquaintance who came to rely on him, with generous treatment. After inquiring again, he learned that Zhuge Liang's two sisters had reached the age of marriage, so he set up a match for Zhuge's family and married Zhuge Liang's eldest sister, Zhuge Ying. It was given to Kuai Qi, a famous family in Xiangyang, and the second sister married Pang Shanmin, the son of Pang Degong, a famous scholar in Xiangyang.

With such a three-level relationship, Zhuge's family was accepted by the xenophobic Xiangyang scholars. Therefore, Zhuge Liang was able to often contact the upper-class people in Xiangyang, learn about the high-level military and political movements in Jingzhou, and understand the world's major events.

"Oh? When did Kong Ming hear the wind?"

Xu Shu had never underestimated this boy who was eight or nine years younger than himself because of his age. Knowing that he hadn't read the official document, he handed over the official document that he had copied by himself in front of the bulletin board in Deng County, and communicated with him. information.

"Two days ago."

While Zhuge Liang answered, he glanced at the bamboo slips handed by his friend.This is a beautiful, fluent official document. I don't know who wrote it. It roughly means that Liu Fujun, the prefect of Nanyang, found that there are many scholars from various states and counties who came to Jingzhou to settle down. He is talented, but because he left his hometown, his reputation has not yet spread to Jingzhou.Mr. Liu Fu regretted that talented people were buried here, so he decided to hold an exam for all scholars of foreign origin. As long as they verify their identities and answer a very simple question correctly, they can sign up for the exam.The examination content is divided into three questions in total, one question is related to the famine policy, the other is related to the current politics, and the last question is temporarily closed.The rankings will be announced five days after the exam is over, the top two will be hired by Mr. Liu as officials, and the top fifteen will be able to enter the official school.I hope that all scholars from other places will actively participate, and I hereby announce it.

"It sounds very similar to Xianliang Fang Zhengke, but the qualifications for taking the test are much relaxed. Judging from the content of the announcement alone, this young master seems to have a tendency to value talent rather than virtue." After quickly scanning the entire content, Zhuge Liang looked at Xu Shu, " Brother Yuan Zhi intends to participate in the test?"

"Although the second young master is a woman, she is a master of the way. She is a corporal with a heart, knows people well, and is not inferior to Lu and Deng in governance. It is even more rare that she has outstanding military strategy and is good at using soldiers. In this troubled world, I will definitely be able to make a difference."

Xu Shu is full of ambitions and intends to attach himself to the Ming Lord and do a great job in the troubled times.

Zhuge Liang picked up the cup, took a sip, and said with a slight smile, "Isn't it because the second son's biological mother is from Yingchuan, and the people who are close to him, such as Zhao Boran and Du Zixu, are also from Yingchuan?"

Although his face is immature, his expression already shows wisdom and maturity beyond his age.

"I can't hide it from Kong Ming." Xu Shu smiled brightly, nodded and admitted, "There is a reason for this, but the second son is close to Yingchuan scholars, that is, he emphasizes Legalism, which is what we are learning. Is it a pleasure to apply what you have learned? "

He asked again: "Kong Ming has seen the second son?" Xu Shu just asked this question casually, and did not expect to get an affirmative answer.Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, and replied, "We met once."

"Eh?"

Zhuge Liang's expression was flat: "It's just that Liu Mu's second daughter saw it from afar at the evening ceremony, so it's not worth mentioning."

Only then did Xu Shu understand, shaking his head and sighing with a smile: "Kong Ming, Kong Ming, your spirit..."

Although he had known each other not long ago, he knew that Zhuge Liang had always prided himself on Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and he had high demands on himself, and his goal was firmly locked in the position of being under one person and above ten thousand people. Arrived, probably disdain to mention it.

Zhuge Liang lowered his eyelashes slightly, avoiding this topic.

Guan Zhong had no experience in governing the country before, but after being appointed as Prime Minister by Duke Huan of Qi, he was able to assist Duke Huan of Qi to respect the king and fight against barbarians and establish hegemony.In his early years, Le Yi didn't see any historical records. After being reused by King Yan Zhao, he was able to use the weak Yan's soldiers to defeat the strong Qi and slaughter seventy cities.He thinks he has the great talents of Guan Zhong and Le Yi. Although he is still young and not yet learned enough to be a teacher, but after a few years, if he can meet the master of the Ming Dynasty, he will be able to assist him in becoming a king and hegemony. There is no need to worry about losing the Qi Huan and Jin Wen of the past.

With such thoughts turned in his mind very quickly, Zhuge Liang raised his head again and said to Xu Shu:

"A Chu proverb says that the second son 'Yanyan is so clear that he can't be offended'. Mingyu Hunli saw that he had a happy conversation with Wang Zhongxuan, and Kuai Yidu and others were also close."

Jingzhou folk proverb says that Wang Lang is "like a lofty mountain towering thousands of feet, obviously not to be offended."

On the one hand, she was afraid of Wang Lang's cruel methods of cutting off dissidents, and completely destroyed any forces that dared to belittle or resist her; Vitality, prosperity.

However, this folk proverb was first heard from the powerful and powerful clan in Nanyang, and it is not exactly the same as the view of Wang Lang by the common people at the bottom and the scholars at the top, so Zhuge Liang deliberately brought it up.

"I have the idea of ​​offending in my heart, how can I blame the second young master for being strict?"

Xu Shu was born in a humble Shan family. In the early days, he couldn't understand the bullying and killing people in anger. The legalists he studied also advocated the theory of monarchical centralization.After thinking for a while, he smiled again, "Wang Zhongxuan is underestimated by Liu Mu because of his appearance, and he is valued by the second son because of his talent and learning. The world is really unpredictable."

What Xu Shu was talking about was a peculiar phenomenon between Xiangyang and Nanyang.

Most of the scholars who took refuge in Jingzhou from other places heard that Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, had the spirit of the elderly, cherished talents, and was willing to make friends with scholars. The eldest daughter of the prefect did not pay attention.

As a result, after arriving in Xiangyang, with the passage of time and deepening understanding, the truly talented and ambitious scholars among these scholars were often disappointed with Liu Biao. Instead, they gradually fell in love with Nanyang, which they had previously despised, and moved their families to Wancheng.For example, Du Xi in Yingchuan, Liu Biao raised him but didn't use him. After he arrived in Nanyang, he was appointed as the head of Xi'e.

Wang Can came to Jingzhou to seek refuge with Liu Biao, but Liu Biao looked down on him because of his ugly, weak and out-of-the-ordinary personality. However, he chatted happily with Wang Lang, who was not in his eyes at first, and became his bosom friend. This was not something he could have imagined before entering Xiangyang. What about?

Liangcai still needs to understand the master's knowledge, Zhuge Liang also felt quite emotional about this in his heart, pondered for a moment, and made the last reminder as a friend: "Nanyang people don't care about gender distinctions, but Central Plains people are not, Yuanzhi should think twice .”

What Zhuge Liang meant was not to persuade him to give up, but to persuade him to consider the difficulties clearly and make mental preparations as soon as possible so that when things come, they will not lose their composure and deal with them calmly.

"If the dragon swims in the abyss and the phoenix soars in the sky, everyone will know the dragon and the phoenix. What use is there for me?"

◇

The first question Wang Lang asked was related to the famine policy, asking how the court and the local government should deal with various natural disasters.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the solar activity was sluggish and the number of sunspots was scarce, which is the so-called solar minimum period. The weather conditions deteriorated and various natural disasters occurred frequently.In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the climate turned sharply to extremely cold, and all kinds of disasters broke out concentratedly. Take Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty who "sighed and hated" the scholars as an example. In the 33 years of Emperor Huan's reign, only the first year of Zhongping and the third year of Zhongping had no natural disasters. For the rest, summer droughts and autumn floods, locust plagues and earthquakes continued.

Why did the slogan of the Yellow Turban Uprising be "Heaven is dead, and the yellow sky should be established", aiming at the "heaven" that the people are deeply awed by?

It was because natural disasters occurred successively at that time, and the government redoubled its oppression of the people, so that the people believed that the "sky" above their heads was sick, which was a bad "sky", and a brand new "yellow sky" had to be used to replace the original sickness. The "Cangtian" in the text means "the heaven is dead, and the yellow sky should stand".

Wang Lang remembered that in the third year of Chuping, that is, in October this year, another earthquake would occur in Chang'an.In the summer of the next year, there was another shock.In June, the locusts, "people eat each other", and in July, when there is a severe drought, "people eat each other, and the bones accumulate."In April of the third year, there was a severe drought, "great hunger, people eat each other", "locusts rise up, there is no grain early in the year, and jujube vegetables are eaten in the harem." In the fourth year, there was another severe drought and locusts. Drought, "The scholars and the people froze and starved, and the rivers and Huai Rivers were devoured."

That is to say, in the next four years, earthquakes, locust plagues, droughts, floods will occur in turn, or at the same time. Sili, Yanzhou, and Yangzhou are the most severely affected places. Terrible.

Wang Lang took famine politics as the first topic, firstly because scholars who are interested in politics must have thought about this big problem that plagued the Eastern Han Dynasty, and secondly, they were brainstorming to prepare for the disaster in the coming year.

The second question is about man-made disasters, which asks what the scholars saw and heard in their hometown and along the road, or sums up the root causes of the chaos, or expounds the current disadvantages of various places, or remonstrates that Nanyang is insufficient, and the style of writing is not limited.

This is actually a common topic in special subjects, and Wang Lang gave it a wide scope. You can write poems and essays about what you have seen and heard, and write policy theories to express your opinions. Those who have just come to Nanyang will write about their hometown, and those who have lived in Nanyang for a while Just write down your impressions of Nanyang, find shortcomings, and make suggestions. Confucian scholars and civil servants can make a difference.

It is worth mentioning that although Wang Can, who had been brought into the shogunate by Liu Biao, did not take the exam, he heard about this topic.Recalling all the tragedies he saw from Chang'an to Jingzhou, Wang Can was deeply saddened, and wrote a poem "Seven Sorrows Poems".

Wang Lang calculated Cao Zhi's age in private, and it seemed that he had just turned one year old.Since this "talented" great poet is still learning to speak, it is basically a daydream for others to overshadow Wang Can in terms of literary talent.

The third question is kept secret before the exam. In fact, it is a thorough open question. You can record your proud work in your life, or introduce yourself in an article. In short, it is to show your talent and explain your value as much as possible. own chance.With Wang Lang's status today, such an opportunity is rare and precious, especially for poor scholars who have no connections.

On the day when the exam ended, Wang Lang handed over the county affairs to Zhao Yan temporarily, and took a total of 73 answer sheets back to the government for review.

She set a review period of four days, with an average of 25 readings a day, more than three days, and the last day was set aside for review and inspection to prevent any omissions and misjudgments.

As a result, in the morning of the next day, when reviewing an answer sheet, Wang Lang praised three consecutive questions, and the calligraphy was also superb. , I was stunned on the spot.

This is a real national scholar who was hailed by Cao Cao as Xiao He and Kou Xun. According to historical records, he lived in Hedong for 16 years, and his political achievements were "often the best in the world". He also took refuge in Jingzhou! ?

Wang Lang hurriedly asked the government officials to transfer Du Ji's files, and saw that "Du Ji, a native of Jingzhao Duling. At the age of [-], he served as a county meritorious officer, guarding the county magistrate of Zheng, and later promoted Xiaolian, except for Hanzhong Fucheng", confirming that This Du Ji is Bi Du Ji, and looking at him as the governor of Hanzhong, he suddenly feels dizzy from being hit by happiness.

In history, Du Ji didn't go to Xudu, the capital of the capital, until Jian'anzhong. He made friends with Geng Ji, a servant, and went to Geng Ji's house every night to chat and talk about current affairs.

Next door to Geng Ji lived Cao Cao's confidant adviser, who was compared to Zhang Liang's Minister Xun Yu by Cao Cao.As soon as Du Ji talked, Xun Yu listened with his ears open next door.After hearing about Du Ji's talent several times, he sent someone to find Geng Ji and questioned him: "If you have a national scholar but don't advance, how can you stay in the position?" After that, Xun Yu recommended Du Ji to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appointed Du Ji as Sikong Sizhi. , the rank is more than two thousand stones, assisting himself as Sikong, doing supervisory work, and reporting officials who violate the law and discipline.

Cao Cao was competing with Yuan Shao at that time, and both sides wanted the support of Kansai Ma Teng and Han Sui.If Yuan Shao wanted to get in touch with Guanxi, he had to compete for Hedong County, which was still under Cao Cao's command. However, Wang Yi, the prefect of Hedong who was deeply loved by the people in Hedong, was not Cao Cao's cronies, and he was devoted to Emperor Xian.At this difficult time, Xun Yu recommended Du Ji again, saying that he was "courageous enough to face adversity and smart to respond." So Du Ji, who was originally appointed as the prefect of Xiping, was quickly chased back by Cao Cao's envoys, and he changed his way to Hedong to become the prefect.

Wei Gu, the subordinate of Wang Yi, the prefect of Hedong, sent thousands of soldiers to cut off Shanjin, so that Du Ji could not cross the Yellow River and went to Hedong to take up his post.Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun to lead troops to crusade against Hedong, clearing the way for Du Ji to take office.Xun Yu also said to Du Ji that "you should have a large army", but Du Ji rejected it on the grounds that "all together, the victory or defeat will greatly damage the vitality of Hedong". Bicycle takes office.

Liu Biao rode into Yicheng. Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, the leaders of the powerful and powerful local clan, were both old friends of Liu Biao's colleagues in Luoyang, and they had a good relationship.Du Ji entered Hedong by bicycle, but Fan Xian, who held the military power in the county, was determined to kill Du Ji.It was in such a dangerous situation that Du Ji took office with difficulty. He first showed weakness to Wei Gu and Fan Xian, lowered their guard, and then came up with many crooked ideas that sounded right, dismissing the generals around Wei Gu and Fan Xian. , Taking advantage of the opportunity of the high-ranking army's invasion, Cao Cao's army killed Wei Gu and Fan Xian, and suggested that Cao Cao pardon the party members of Wei Gu and Fan Xian, so that Hedong County would not experience too serious war and settle down early.

Han Sui and Ma Chao in Kansai rebelled, and nearby Hongnong and Feng Yi's counties and counties all had annexation behaviors. However, Hedong is adjacent to Kansai, and the people did not have the slightest disagreement, and they still lived and worked in peace and contentment.When Cao Cao marched westward to Puban, the army's rations depended entirely on the east of the river. When the bandits broke the chaos, there were still more than 20 dendrobium of grain left in the east of the river.Excited, Cao Cao ordered Du Ji to be commended: "Du Ji, the prefect of Hedong, Confucius said, 'Yu, I have nothing to do with you'. There are two thousand stones in the rank increase."

When Cao Cao conquered Hanzhong, he dispatched [-] peasants from the east of the river to transport grain. On the way, the peasants urged each other: "You are mortal, so don't let my lord down!" During the arduous battle of transporting grain for thousands of miles, none of the [-] peasants escaped. This is how Du Ji won the hearts of the people.

After the establishment of Wei State, Du Ji was appointed Minister.After the matter was settled, the imperial court ordered: "In the past, Xiao He pacified Guanzhong and Kou Xun pacified Hanoi. You also have the credit for them, and you will be awarded the position of Nayan. However, considering that Hedong County is an important place for me to enrich my reserve Occupying it is enough to control the whole country, so I have to trouble you to sit there.”

For the next 16 years, Du Ji served as the prefect of Hedong in Cao Cao's Guji County, and his political achievements were "often the best in the world".If it weren't for his close relationship with Xun Yu and Geng Ji, who opposed Cao Cao's calling Wei Gong, and were not trusted by Cao Cao, he should have been granted the title of Marquis long ago.

Wei Wendi Cao Pi came to the throne and summoned Du Ji as the Minister. In the end, due to the seaworthiness of the Tao River, the ship sank in a strong wind, and Du Ji also died.

Due to family politics, Wang Lang paid great attention to genealogy research in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He knew that in addition to Du Ji being outstanding himself, his sons Du Shu and Du Kuan were also quite outstanding. Emperor Wu finally made up his mind to attack Sun Wu. He was one of the commanders in the unification war against Wu with outstanding achievements.Later, he was the governor of Jingzhou with outstanding achievements. He was the only historical figure who entered the Confucian Temple and Wu Temple at the same time before the Ming Dynasty.The Du family was also talented in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the family style was extremely beautiful.

Wang Lang's mood was agitated for a while, and suddenly he realized something was wrong, so he called Zhao Yan to ask:

"Du Ji is a weak crown and a filial piety. Except for the Hanzhong government, he has his own official position. He is not an ordinary scholar. Why didn't he become an official in Xiangyang, but went to Nanyang to take the exam?"

It is said that Du Ji has a filial name and an official voice, so he should have been called into the shogunate by Liu Biao long ago. How did it fall into her hands?

Zhao Yan glanced at her, considered his words, and finally said weakly:

"According to the rumors in Xiangyang, Liu Mu thought it was simple and arrogant, so he didn't use it."

Wang Lang was stunned, and it took him a long time to react slowly, and he changed the topic to other directions as if nothing had happened.

In a sense, having a father like Liu Biao is actually pretty good... Mmm.

【Note 1】

"Three Kingdoms" Zhuge Liang's biography records: Liang Zaogu, from his father Xuan was the prefect of Yuzhang under Yuan Shu's office, Xuan general Liang and Liang's brother Jun were officials.In the Han Dynasty, Zhu Hao was elected to replace Xuan.Xuansu and Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, have an old relationship, and they go to rely on it.

Pei Songzhi's notes quoted "Xiandi Chunqiu" said: In the early days, Zhou Shu, the prefect of Yuzhang, died of illness, and Zhuge Xuan was appointed prefect of Yuzhang by Liu Biao, and ruled Nanchang.When the Han Dynasty heard of Zhou Shu's death, they sent Zhu Hao to replace Xuan.Hao asked Liu Yu, the prefect of Yangzhou, to attack Xuan, Xuan retreated to the west city, and Hao entered Nanchang.In the first month of the second year of Jian'an, the Xicheng people rebelled, killed Xuan, and sent the first Yiyou.

The two records are different, and the text treats them as the former.

The author has something to say:

☆、Strange things in the world

The whole book of "Sun Tzu" is divided into thirteen chapters, "Ji" is the first chapter of the whole book, which first explains "the soldiers are the major affairs of the country", and then expounds the method of dealing with the major affairs of the country "temple calculation"; "Yongjian" is the end of the book, The meaning of the title is the use of intelligence.

Temple calculations must be based on time, that is, planning must be based on intelligence, and the entire strategic system must be built on intelligence.

In order to prove his point of view, Sun Wu, a military strategist who lived in the late Spring and Autumn Period, cited two examples from the ancient times: "In the past, Yin Zhixing was also established, and Yi Zhi was in Xia, Zhou Zhixing was also, and Lu Ya was in Yin. Those who are in the middle will surely achieve great success, this is the key to soldiers, and the three armies rely on it to move."

It means that the rise of the Shang Dynasty in the past was due to the reuse of Yi Yin, who was a minister in the Xia Dynasty; the rise of the Zhou Dynasty was due to the reuse of Jiang Shang, who knew the situation of the Shang Dynasty.Therefore, if wise rulers and capable generals can use intelligent people as spies, they will surely accomplish great things.This is the key to the use of troops. The entire army must rely on the enemy information provided by spies to determine military actions.

Wang Lang recalled the origins of the feudal lords at the end of the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shao acquired Jizhou from Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, without bloodshed, thanks to the counselors Xin Ping, Xun Chen, and Guo Tu, who were trusted by Han Fu's cronies, tried their best to persuade Han Fu to give up his position; Liu Biao In Yicheng, he served as the governor of Jingzhou and quelled the bandits and bandits. Jingzhou, which was in trouble everywhere, relied on the famous Xiangyang scholars Kuai Liang, Kuaiyue brothers and Cai Mao who had a strong clan and people's trust; Cao Cao gained a foothold in Yanzhou by relying on In Yanzhou, Bao Xin and Chen Gong are very prestigious and well-connected people from Yanzhou. Therefore, after Cao Cao killed the famous people in Yanzhou and sent troops to Xuzhou, Chen Gong, who believed in the wrong person, could transfer Yanzhou to Lu Bu with Zhang Miao. Yanzhou County Almost all the counties responded to Chen Gong; Gongsun Zan, who killed Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, and took control of Youzhou, was from Liaoxi of Youzhou; Sun Ce, who later separated from Yuan Shu and took control of Jiangdong, was from Wujun, Yangzhou.

Thinking back to the several families in the Three Kingdoms era, Cao Pi and Sun Quan inherited their father and brother's foundation, and they did not start from scratch; Liu Bei, who established the Shu Kingdom, obtained territory because of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fazheng, and Zhang Song who knew Jingzhou and Yizhou well; usurped Cao Wei The Sima and his sons of the regime are simply the important ministers of the Wei State, and of course they know the details of the Wei State.

Thinking about it this way, these people, without exception, all conform to the analysis made by the Spring and Autumn Man Sun Wu 700 years ago, and Wang Lang can't help but learn from it.

Considering that he had led troops to recover the land of Shu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and understood the geography of Bashu, Wang Lang ordered the detailed operations in Yizhou to focus on the rich and powerful generals in Yizhou, and he formulated a set of quick battles based on this information. Plan, went to Xiangyang to persuade his father Liu Biao, Chen Ping Shu policy.

◇

In the heroic late Han Dynasty, Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, who was sitting in the land of Jing and Chu, often gave people the illusion of self-defense and not enterprising.However, in real history, Liu Biao once sent troops to Yizhou, Jiaozhou, and Yangzhou respectively, and even dispatched thousands of people on foot and cavalry in the sixth year of Jian'an, and took the initiative to attack Cao Cao in the north. .

In all fairness, the timing of Liu Biao's previous deployments was very correct, and his defeat was due to the fact that no one was available, or, to put it more essentially, he was unable to recognize and employ people.

When Wang Lang was studying history books, he was surprised to find that in the first year of Xingping, that is, next year, Liu Biao would take advantage of the death of Yizhou Shepherd Liu Yan and the internal distress of Yizhou, and send Liu He to rebel against Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang. Generals Shen Mi, Lou Fa, and Gan Ning tried to conquer Yizhou in the west.

It is a pity that Shen Mi, Lou Fa, and Gan Ning were defeated in Yizhou and entered Jingzhou eastward. Liu Biao, who was not very determined, gave up immediately.Liu Biao ignored Gan Ning, a native of Yizhou who rebelled against Liu Zhang and defected to him, because of his defeat in Yizhou, and sent him to Nanyang casually.Liu Biao naturally did not expect that this defeated general from Bashu who was instigated by himself would defect to Sun Quan in the future, and would be able to make great achievements in breaking Huangzu's possession of Chuguan, attacking Cao Ren to capture Yiling, suppressing Yiyang and rejecting Guan Yu, defending Xiling to win Zhu Guang, and leading cavalry to attack Cao Ying. .

Therefore, there were not a few virtuous ministers and generals who came to rely on Liu Biao. Liu Biao was not unavailable, but lacked a pair of insightful eyes to understand people, and also lacked the ability to control these heroes, that is, the so-called talent for fighting chaos.

Therefore, historians of the past dynasties generally felt sorry for Liu Biao, thinking that he should have lived in a peaceful and prosperous age, with more than enough talent and intelligence to be a Sangong, but it was a pity that he was born in the troubled times of the end of Han Dynasty when warlords fought, wasting Jingzhou's imperial capital in vain.

Of course, now with Wang Lang, things are completely different.

Let Liu Biao, who has a lot of experience in this matter, be responsible for instigating rebellion against the Shu people and delivering news, etc., and hand over things like supporting from the sidelines and boosting strength to Jingzhou soldiers who can only fight with the wind. The tough battle in Yizhou battlefield, taking advantage of the pass that the Yizhou rebels secretly let go, led the [-] elite soldiers who had been trained in Nanyang for two years and went straight to Mianzhu in Yizhou Prefecture to capture the thieves and capture them. Wang, the army followed up to receive support, and Yizhou was settled in the First World War.

Wang Lang defeated Sun Jian and Lu Bu in two years. It was a beautiful battle in which the few defeated the many and the weak defeated the strong. Undoubtedly, the people in all counties and counties in Jingzhou also had some kind of illogical superstition towards Wang Lang, treating her as a fairy, believing that she would win, and willing to die for her.

Wang Lang suggested opening up the Yizhou battlefield and taking over the main attack task. Kuai Yue, who had a first-class tactical level, believed her strategy directly, and suggested that the summer tide should rise, so it might as well use the navy to assist the attack.

Liu Biao was still very ambitious at this time. Seeing that the two most reliable men under his command had reached an agreement, he no longer hesitated, and ordered his eldest daughter to be the coach and fully responsible for the Western Expedition; Cai Mao commanded the water army to assist the attack; Huang Zu guarded Jiangxia to guard against Yangzhou invaders; Congzi Liu Pan and Zhonglang General Huang Zhong guarded Changsha.The defense of Nanyang County on Wang Lang's side was entrusted to General Wenpin, who was famous for his good defense. Zhao Yan and Du Xi both stayed in Nanyang to handle the county affairs and supervise the delivery of food and grass for Wang Lang.

The major issues were properly discussed and all the appointments were to be made. Wang Lang set off to return to Nanyang to organize pre-war mobilization in Wancheng. The first group of participants included Zhao Yan, Du Xi, Han Ji, Wei Yan and others who had followed her for a year or two. The two recruited by the exam, Du Ji and Xu Shu, and two people that Wang Lang didn't expect at all.

◇

In October of the third year of Chuping, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, sent envoys to contribute.Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty sent Zhong Yao, the servant of the Huangmen, to worship Liu Biao as the general of Zhennan, and gave him propaganda and a cart to show his favor. Bizhao, Yitong Sangong. [1]

Xun You was imprisoned by Dong Zhuo because of leaking his plan to assassinate Dong Zhuo. It happened that Dong Zhuo was murdered by Situ Wang Yun and Lv Bu. He was promoted to be the prime minister of the city, but he did not go to the post.

The friendship between Xun You and Zhong Yao had been established as early as when the two were prosecuted together. Zhong Yao took a trip to Jingzhou, and soon after returning to Chang'an, he mentioned this matter to Xun You with a heart of admiration for the wonderful flower, and said with emotion: "Liu Jingsheng seems to have With the ambition of Xibo, his daughter actually has the appearance of King Wu, it is really a strange thing in the world."

Xibo is Zhou Wen Wang Jichang, the leader of the Western princes in the late Shang Dynasty, so he is also called Xibochang.According to legend, Xibo has been in power for 50 years, and he has made full preparations for the great cause of Jianshang, reformed internal affairs, developed production, worked hard to govern, respected corporals, worshiped Jiang Shang as a military adviser, and asked about military plans, so that "the world is divided into three parts, and the second belongs to Zhou".

King Wu is Jifa, King Wu of Zhou, the son of Xibohou Jichang.Ji Fa inherited his father's behest, continued to take Jiang Shang as his teacher, honored as Shi Shangfu, and his brothers Zhou Gongdan and Zhao Gong as assistants, actively planning to destroy the business.After the Battle of Muye, the rule of the Shang Dynasty was overthrown. Ji Fa established the capital of Haojing, changed the name of the country to Zhou, and became the founding king of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

"How to say?"

Xun You did not want to be an official in Yanzhou, the place where the Fourth World War was fought, so he ignored Ren Chengxiang's appointment and refused to take up the post.Thinking about the dangers of the Shu Han, the city is strong, and the people live well. He wrote a letter requesting to be the prefect of Shu County, and got permission from the court, so he was ready to pack up and go.

Zhang Lu in Hanzhong killed the Han envoy and cut off the road. Jingzhou became the only way to go to Shu County from Chang'an. What happened in the territory? Zhong Yao, who had just returned from Jingzhou, had the most say. Xun You must listen to his suggestions.

"In today's age of martial arts, Liu Jingsheng wants to imitate King Wen of Zhou and cultivate virtue. When I arrived in Xiangyang, Liu Jingsheng was preparing to build a school outside Xiangyang City. The scale is not inferior to that of the Luoyang official school in the past. The government orders in Xiangyang City are not very clear." As soon as the voice changed, Zhong Yao said again, "But Liu Jingsheng's daughter who is the prefect of Nanyang is very different from Naifu. In Nanyang, Zhao Boran, Du Zixu and others are reused. They cultivate literature and morality internally, and govern military equipment externally. If God."

Nanyang County was the No. 1 largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although the Yellow Turban and Yuan Shu successively caused disasters, after the territory was settled down, refugees from all over the world poured into Nanyang. The people of Quanzhou in each of the three states.

The reason why Zhong Yao singled out Nanyang is because the strength of a county in Nanyang is already comparable to that of a state in the Central Plains, and it needs to be calculated separately.

Xun You's expression and demeanor often give people the illusion of being dull and stupid, but anyone who knows him knows that he is wise and stupid.Seeing that he listened to Zhong Yao's words in silence with a dull expression, he was silent for a while, and said: "Nanyang has always been famous for its intractability. It is not luck that Mr. Chaoyang is able to occupy the position as a woman, and there must be some immortality." talent."

Men are named marquises, and women are named kings.In October, Liu Biao sent envoys to make contributions, and played the role of his daughter in resisting his grandson and rejecting Lu. Li Jue and Guo Si, who controlled the government, hated Lu Bu deeply. Feng Chaoyang County Jun.

Of course, scholars outside of Jingzhou would not call Wang Lang a son, and calling her the title Chaoyang Jun became a very suitable choice.

"Yuan Benchu, Yuan Gonglu and Liu Jingsheng are the most powerful princes in the world. If the roads in Yizhou are impassable, Gongda is worse than staying in Jingzhou. If friends are in Jizhou, Wenruo is in Yanzhou, and Gongda is in Jingzhou, the Xun family will have no worries. .”

The friend Zhong Yao was talking about was Xun Chen, Xun Yu's fourth brother, who was recruited by Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, and later persuaded Han Fu to let Jizhou belong to Yuan Shao. Now he is Yuan Shao's adviser.

The aristocratic family likes to put eggs in baskets. In history, the situation where Xun Chen voted for Yuan Shao, Xun Yu voted for Cao Cao, Xun You stayed in Jingzhou, and Xun Yue offered to the emperor was consciously arranged by the Xun family.Zhong Yao himself is a member of the Yingchuan aristocratic family, so he is naturally very familiar with the aristocratic family's style of doing things, and he has a deep friendship with Xun You, so he doesn't worry about causing grievances when he says such words.

"I've made a note. Now Li and Guo are stealing artifacts inside, while Han and Ma are watching outside. These officials are all short-sighted and innocent people. There are many variables in Xijing. Yuan Chang should act cautiously and cherish them."

"treasure."

Saying goodbye to Zhong Yao, Xun You took the packed luggage and set off for the post with his family and servants. He planned to enter Shu through Jingzhou through Nanyang County, which is adjacent to Sili.

"Patriarch, there is a famous scholar in front who claims to know the Patriarch, please meet the Patriarch."

Not long after leaving Chang'an, the boy servant walking in front knocked on the wall of the carriage to announce the news.

Xun You opened the car door with a slow reaction that made people feel anxious for him, and was about to take a look at the scholar who was said to know him, when a familiar voice came to him with great joy: "Gongda Gongda, Give me a ride~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Xun You's body that was about to protrude was immediately retracted, and he stretched out his hand to close the car door, but was quickly blocked by someone with sharp eyesight, and then jumped into the car with a smile, his movements were so light and swift that Xun You, who had already recognized him outside the car, His servants were dumbfounded:

"Guo Langjun?"

Guo Jia poked out half of his head from the car with a smile, his eyebrows and eyes curved: "Xiao Liuer, please remember that you must never mention the word "Lang Jun" again when you arrive in Nanyang, otherwise you will be in bad luck. Go and get a pot of wine. Come on, count yourself as thanking Mr. Ben for your kindness."

Xun You, who failed to close the door, regained his wooden face, and sat back to his original position slowly, acquiescing to the fait accompli.

After hearing this sentence, his eyebrows moved, and he looked at the uninvited passenger in the carriage:

"Mr. Chaoyang is jealous?"

Guo Jia withdrew his head and looked at him with a smile: "Guess."

【Note 1】

"All Three Kingdoms·Liu Zhennan Monument": "The censor Zhongcheng Zhongyou was dispatched to pay respects to Zhennan General. San Gong. Zuo Zhonglang will be repatriated to Zhu Dan to give the festival to increase the prestige, and supervise the three prefectures of Jiao, Yang, and Yi, and entrust the southeast, which is only judged by the king."

At this time, Zhong Yao was the Minister of Huangmen, and the inscription mistakenly identified it as Yushi Zhongcheng.

The author has something to say:

☆、Nanyang news

After leaving Wuguan, it was Nanyang. The obviously noisy voices and the stable and lively atmosphere made the two people sitting in the carriage open the bamboo curtain and look at the streets outside.

The road is wide and flat, with green locust trees planted on both sides, pedestrians are hurrying, their bodies are filled with a kind of vitality, and their clothes are full of energy.Moving forward, the flow of people became denser, and you could see business travelers from all over the north and south. The market was full of goods from Bashu in the west, Sili in the north, and Jianghuai in the south.Not only did Xun You and Guo Jia abandon their car and walk, chatting with farmers in the fields, vendors in the market, and various people, but Xun You's family members, who had not seen such a lively scene for a long time, also opened the curtains of their cars and kept looking.

In Nanyang Chudi, there are very few restrictions on women, especially in the past two years.Xun You saw that there were quite a few girls from good families in the city traveling with them, and they did not avoid their actions. The rest of the people were also accustomed to this, so they asked his wife and young son to get out of the car together.
