"Brother Zhang Liao and Brother Gao Shun, we met by chance today, but I, Liu Xian, feel that I have some like-mindedness with you, so let's talk about it now. I'll just say some things. Liu Xian looked at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun with a frank face: "Today's Han Dynasty, the world is chaotic, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is already a troubled era. However, in troubled times, heroes will emerge, and the two of you, in the eyes of my Liu Xian, are the heroes of the world. Therefore, in the future, the important task of supporting the Han Mansion will fall, supporting the Han family, and revitalizing the Han Dynasty will surely fall on the shoulders of heroes such as you. At the very least, it is also the responsibility of our generation to help the poor and help the needy. Liu Xian said so, do the two eldest brothers agree? ”

"That's how a husband should be!" Zhang Liao patted the case and said: "Since Brother Liu Xian said this, then Zhang does deeply agree. Especially what Brother Liu Xian said, the chaos of the Han Dynasty is indeed a reality. To tell the truth, even if Zhang is in the annexed state, he also sees that the land of the annex is full of thieves, and the people are in dire straits. Zhang is indeed anxious when he looks at it, but what will happen to me in such a world? ”

"Yes, Brother Liu Xian, we Gao Shun can also see that today's world is really worse than day by day, and it is chaotic. But I can only watch, I can't do anything, I'm really worried about the current situation of the big man. Gao Shun also deeply recognized Liu Xian's words.

"You feel the same way." Liu Xian slapped his thigh, stood up and said: "Then may I ask the two eldest brothers, have you ever thought about what you want to do if you want to set things right, help the Han family, clean up the chaos of the Han Dynasty, and return the Han world to a bright future?" Ever wondered? ”

"Brother Liu Xian, you are just embarrassing us. We are usually in the army, and we can only act according to orders, where have we ever thought about these things? Zhang Liao said with an embarrassed expression.

"Well, actually, it makes sense that you didn't think about it. However, in fact, there are many people thinking about this problem in today's big Han, and there are also many people who have been traveling around in order to save the big Han. However, I think that they are all useless. Therefore, I did not join them, I did not work with them. Liu Xian said.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? So what are they going to do? Zhang Liao and Gao Shun both looked at Liu Xian.

"They mainly believe that the chaotic situation of the Han Dynasty today is due to the traitors of the court, and it is those traitors in the court who confuse the saints of today, so that it is difficult to carry out the decrees of the court. If it is said that the traitors in the court can be eradicated, the Han Dynasty's program can be reinvigorated, and the government decree can be passed, so that the normal order of the Han can be restored slowly, and the Han can be restored. To put it bluntly, that is: get rid of the traitors, the Qingjun side! Zhen Chaogang, Xing Dahan! ”

"Good! People with lofty ideals should be like this! Gao Shun felt a little relieved when he heard this, and clapped his hands, as if he hated not being able to participate in it.

When Zhang Liao heard this, his expression fluctuated a little, but he looked at Liu Xian with some confusion and said, "Brother Liu Xian, in this way, this is a good thing, why don't you participate together?" What about working with those who have aspirations? ”

Liu Xian shook his head and said, "Two big brothers, shout a few slogans, and anyone will shout." It can even be shouted beautifully, which can make people's blood boil when they hear it. It is a pity that those so-called people with lofty ideals have failed to see through the most basic problems and have not had a truly feasible and concrete action plan. They didn't even see the most basic picture of why the Great Han led to the chaos we have today. In this case, how will the Han be revitalized? What's more, let alone revitalizing the Han Dynasty, even if it is their main purpose, it may be difficult to eliminate the traitors and Qingjun. “

"Huh? What does this mean? Zhang Liao really hadn't heard anyone talk about these topics, so he seemed very interested, like a studious elementary school student, and listened attentively.

Liu Xian said: "It's really hard to explain the situation in three words. I can only say that the most basic problem of the Han Dynasty is that from the court down to the local government, it is basically rotten. The difficulty of implementing the imperial decree is not only a problem of traitors in the court, but also some things, which does not mean that in addition to the traitors in the court, the Han Dynasty can be revitalized. Because, in addition to Zhang San and Li Si, in addition to Li Si and Wang Wu. Our Han is such a vicious circle, endless, and in the end, it is still the ordinary people of the Han who suffer. If that's hard for you to understand, then say so. Our Great Han, since the first emperor, no, from the earlier times. Emperors almost always died young, and their successors were basically young. In this way, the Han court has always been in a situation where the imperial power has been lost. If you have a little understanding of these, you will be able to understand that our Han court can divide the court officials into several parties. Eunuchs, relatives, powerful ministers, as well as Qingliu parties and some honest courtiers who were truly loyal to the Han Dynasty, and so on. All along, the authority of the imperial court is actually controlled by eunuchs, relatives, and powerful ministers in turn. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, it is not the turn of the emperor to really grasp the actual imperial power, and it is difficult for those real ministers to get the real right to speak in the court. Now, it is the eunuch party that holds the authority of our Han Dynasty, but what about the eunuchs? Then it's just a change of relatives. In this way, what is the difference between Dahan and the past? ”

Liu Xian said this, took a sip of wine, moistened his mouth and continued: "This is the main reason why I am reluctant to work with them. What's more, even if they can't even get rid of the traitors, I'm afraid they can't do it. Know why? ”

"I want to hear about it." Zhang Liao said with some urgency. After listening to Liu Xian's words, he really had a relatively clear understanding of the current situation of the Han Dynasty in his heart, and he really felt that listening to your words was better than reading for ten years.

"Traitors, they are the eunuchs of the court today. To be more specific, it is the ten permanent attendants, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others. However, they were so trusted by the Emperor that it was basically impossible for anyone to impeach them directly and to put them to death in this way. In fact, there are already many upright and strong ministers in the court, and they have evidence of the crimes committed by Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other ten permanent servants. But so what? still couldn't help them, and even, instead, they were bitten back, and even lost their lives. Lord Zhang Jun more than a year ago knows, right? was framed to death by Zhang Rang and others, and there were other courtiers, so I won't give examples one by one. ”

"It's so hateful!" Gao Shun touched the case and said hatefully.

"It's a matter of time for the emperor to trust." Liu Xian followed: "The key thing is that those eunuchs have been operating in the palace for decades, and they are deeply rooted, and even, they are very likely to have mastered the military power of the forbidden army in the palace. Let's ask, in such a situation, no matter how you plot, it is difficult to put those eunuchs to death, unless you directly enter the palace and kill them. However, if you think about it, who would dare to directly raise troops to attack the palace? This is the tantamount to rebellion. Even if someone dares, in case the eunuch dog in the palace is forced to jump over the wall and take the emperor as a hostage. So, who can afford to take this responsibility? ”

"This ...... Isn't this a dead end? Zhang Liao's face was difficult to look at.

"Isn't it? This is clearly a dead end, no matter what we do, we can't break it. Unless you can really grasp the military power of the Han Dynasty, including the city guards in the capital and the forbidden army in the palace, and you have to get the emperor's secret support and secretly issue a holy decree to allow such an action, otherwise? Hehe, don't talk about it. ”

Liu Xian said this, needless to say, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun both fully understood.

"Alas...... In this way, then our big man can only continue to be chaotic like this? And I, waiting, can only watch, but can't do anything? Zhang Liao sighed bitterly and said.

"No, on the contrary, there is more we can do." Liu Xian smiled and said to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun: "Now everyone is thinking about how to get rid of traitors and clear the monarch's side. But since we know that this will not work, why don't we think about the problem with a different logical thinking? ”

"Huh? What can we do? What to do? Zhang Liao and Gao Shun both sat up straight, waiting for Liu Xian's answer.

"We can start with the most basic and basic." Liu Xiandao: "The imperial court, we can't control it, even if it's an ordinary local government, we can't influence it." However, we can control the ordinary people. If we want to help the Han Building to tilt, and if we want to truly revitalize the Han, then we must break the kettle, be down-to-earth, and start little by little. Actually, I've already started doing it, and if you want to know how I do it, then I can talk to you about it in detail. ”

"It turns out that Brother Liu Xian, you have already started to do it, tell me how you did it."

Both of them eagerly asked.

Liu Xian selectively told Zhang Liao and Gao Shun about how he could help the people of Yangshi County, how to restore the order of production and life, how to use the mass power of the people to influence the local government, and how to organize the people to grow and defeat the Yellow Turban Thief Army.

After Liu Xian finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun with burning eyes: "Do you think it's okay for me to do this?" Instead of always thinking about what to get rid of the traitor and Qingjun, thinking about these impossible things, it is better to do your best and start from the place. Today, I Liu Xian can let the people of one county live and work in peace and contentment and live a better life, and tomorrow, I can let the people of two counties also live a better life, and in the future, three or four counties and one county! More and more people in the region are able to lead normal lives. You see, the money I earn here is actually used to help the needy, and every penny will be used for the people in need. ”

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were really shocked, they didn't think that Liu Xian had done so many things. They glanced at each other, stood up, and bowed deeply to Liu Xian: "Brother Liu Xian, what you have done really makes me deeply admired." Zhang thinks, perhaps, what you did is right. ”

"Haha, I Liu Xian doesn't care if it's right or not. I just made sure I was honest. In this troubled world, if you have such a little ability, then do something that needs to be done, that's all. Liu Xian laughed.

"In this way, I'm really ashamed, I really never thought that I could do anything for our Han people." Zhang Liao's face was ashamed.

"No, no, no, in fact, your contribution is also very great, our Han border, all rely on your border army to guard, so that we can keep our Han safe. Therefore, Brother Zhang Liao, Brother Gao Shun, you don't have to be arrogant. ”

"But it's always ...... Zhang didn't live as clearly as Liu Xian's brothers. ”

"Okay, let's stop talking about that." Liu Xian pressed his hand and said: "The two eldest brothers, the younger brother has talked so much about you, and the things he said are just to think that you can understand some truths." Then, I would like to ask you to come and help my little brother. ”

"Oh? Brother Liu Xian, if there is anything you need our help with, please say it directly. ”

"Okay, then I'll be straight to the point." Liu Xian said frankly: "I, Liu Xian, have spent so much effort to make the people of a county live a decent life, so I don't want this hard work to be ruined." You know, what the younger brother did was tantamount to planting a fruit tree, and now the fruit tree is about to blossom and bear fruit, but it has attracted the attention of thieves. Therefore, I must organize the young people to protect their fruits. But the problem is that those young and strong people are really just ordinary people, and they are usually hard-working farmers. What if you can fight those thieves? Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen itself and train troops. But now, the younger brother lacks people to train soldiers. I think that with the combat experience of the two eldest brothers, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, they must be proficient in the military. If I can, I would like to ask the two eldest brothers to help me go to the younger brother's Yang County and Liulin City to train the people's self-defense army there for me. ”

Liu Xian said so much, this is the real purpose, if you can invite Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to train the army for themselves, then it would be the best. Liu Xian didn't plan to directly subdue them, and he didn't think that when his tiger body was shocked, they fell to the ground and worshiped themselves as the master. Because Liu Xian thinks that is unlikely. So, let's settle for the next best thing, let's not talk about the issue of refuge, just invite them to help.

Liu Xian was like this, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun really didn't have any thoughts of refusal, and immediately said: "That's it? Yes, but ...... Now that both of us are on official business, we have to wait for me to report to Lord Ding Yuan and General Lu Bu and explain the situation before we can go to Yang's County. ”

"Good! That's fine. Well, it's better to be like this, Lord Ding Yuan is still in the capital, and I will visit Lord Ding Yuan tomorrow and borrow someone from him. If I open my mouth, he should be able to let people go, right? Liu Xian was secretly happy when he heard that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun did not refuse, but Liu Xian knew that without further ado, it was better to confirm it as soon as possible.

"That's ...... It's okay, but ......" Zhang Liao hesitated a little at this time: "Zhang still has to go back to Lie down and merge the state, I want to explain the situation to General Lu Bu first, how about it?" ”
