Chapter 330: Homeless

Withered vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, ancient roads and westerly winds and thin horses. The sun is setting, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world. ---------Yuan. Ma Zhiyuan, Tianjingsha. Autumn Thoughts

It is said that the full pet Man Boning lost Puyang, escaped from the south gate, and fled to the west along the withered grass on the north bank of the incomparably dark Yellow River. In the dark night, fortunately, his subordinates still carried the gong for the withdrawal of troops. Manzhong's heart moved, and after completely getting rid of the pursuers, he made people knock a few times with a unique rhythm every once in a while.

Sure enough, in the darkness on the Yellow River, a few torches suddenly rose, and it was Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, who successfully burned Mengjin and returned at night.

The two famous generals of the Cao family finally met in the night boat, and the full favor told Gongming about the loss of Puyang, with tears in his eyes. Although Xu Huang was the chief general of the White Tiger Army, it was not easy to ask for the crime immediately, so he had to write a battle report and find someone to find a way to report Xun Wenruo to ask for guilt.

The soldiers who delivered the battle report had a small target, so they could naturally find a way to cross the war zone, but the army was not necessarily, and Man Zhong and Xu Huang already knew that the methods of the Dragon Ball were unpredictable, and there must be ambushes waiting on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Xu Huang said: "Boning, although Mengjin has been captured, there is no danger to defend the ferry, and it is too dangerous to set up camp. The grain and grass I brought with me was also limited, and it seemed inappropriate to go into the mountains to hide, and it was too dangerous to go directly to the south bank of the Yellow River. What should I do now?"

Xu Huang was also a little confused, full of whimpering and wheezing, and he was silent for a while, and there was an embarrassing embarrassment in the cabin.

At this moment, the warship was berthing on the north bank of the Yellow River in Chenliuduan, and when the torch was lit, it happened to be observed by the coastal observation post arranged by Zhang Liao. The observation post knew that the matter was very important, and went back to Chenliu overnight to report.

In the cabin, Man Pet finally recovered a little, and said: "This section is too dangerous, you have to decide where to go immediately." ”

"I thought about it for a long time just now, and there are only a few ways out. First, he went ashore on the north bank of the Yellow River and immediately defected to Yecheng. Yuan Benchu and the lord were friends, but it was only because they were in the Central Plains that they had a lot of friction because of Puyang's ownership, so they turned against each other. ”

"Now that the situation has changed, Cao Yuan has been attacked by the surrounding forces, and if he can join forces, he can still dominate the Central Plains."

"The second is to land on the south bank of Mengjin and defect to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu will definitely not be allowed to enter the city, but he lacks a major general in his hand, and he will definitely accept our Chang'an soldiers against Wang Yue and Huang Gai. In this way, the grain and grass are guaranteed, and it is also a strategy to survive with the help of Yuan Shu for the time being, and then find a way to return after stabilization. ”

"Again, it is to enter the empty place of the state and occupy the county, waiting for the opportunity, such as the example of Li Dao and Guo Yan."

Xu Huang pondered for a long time, knew that he had to decide immediately, and said: "Since you have already docked on the north shore, how about trying to join Yuan Shao?"

Man Zhong said: "I had a friendship with Chen Lin, Yuan Shao's subordinate. Now that the general has decided, the army will go ashore first, and I will find a way to contact Chen Lin first. ”

Both of them were resolute, and immediately ordered the army to abandon the ship and go ashore, leaving a thousand troops to watch the ship, and the rest of the military horses passed through Anyang and ran to Yecheng.

Chen Lin, the word Kong Zhang, a native of Sheyang, Guangling, one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", is as famous as Kong Rong.

In the last years of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Chen Lin served as the general He Jin's chief bookkeeper. He Jin summoned the Quartet border generals to Luoyang, the capital for the eunuchs, Chen Lin once admonished him, but He Jin did not accept it, and was finally defeated and killed. Dong Zhuo was ruthless in Luoyang, and Chen Lin took refuge in Jizhou and entered the Yuan Shao shogunate. After Yuan Shao's defeat, Chen Lin was captured by Cao's army. Cao Cao loved his talent and did not blame it, and he was appointed as the air force division to sacrifice wine, so that he and Ruan Yu were in charge of the same room. Later, he became the governor of the prime minister's door. In the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217), he was infected with Liu Zhen, Ying Ling, Xu Gan and others and died.

Chen Lin's writings, according to the Book of Sui and the Chronicles of the Sui Dynasty, contained in the original collection of 10 volumes, have been lost. Zhang Pu of the Ming Dynasty compiled the "Chen Ji Room Collection", which was included in the "Collection of One Hundred and Three Families of the Six Dynasties of the Han and Wei Dynasties".

When Chen Lin was Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he was the chief secretary of the uncle and general He Jin[3]. At that time, the eunuchs were in power, He Jin wanted to punish the eunuchs, the queen mother was resolutely opposed, He Jin wanted to gather local heroes, and bring troops to the capital Xianyang, so as to intimidate and kidnap the queen mother. Chen Lin strongly admonished against it. However, He Jin did not listen to the advice, insisted on going his own way, and insisted on bringing troops into Beijing from the local area to coerce him, as a result, Dong Zhuo led troops into Beijing, established himself as a prince, abolished the young emperor, and established the emperor, and social turmoil broke out, accelerating the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He Jin was also killed in the chaos. [4]

Attached to Yuan Shao

After He Jin's death, Chen Lin took refuge and attached himself to Yuan Shao. [5] In the first year of Jian'an (196), Cao Cao sent troops to besiege Zang Hong's ally Zhang Chaoyu Yongqiu. At this time, Zang Hong, who was appointed as the county guard of Yuan Shaodong, "cried in vain and begged for help from Yuan Shao", Yuan Duo and Cao Cao made new peace, did not save the soldiers, Yongqiu was broken, and Zhang Chao killed himself in the city. So Zang Hong was indignant and confronted Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao sent troops to attack, but "it has not been down for many years", and Zang Hong has a weak army and a strong enemy, with the intention of dying, vowing to defend the poor city and fight to the end. Seeing this scene, Chen Lin, who was also working under Yuan Shao's account at this time, felt that the situation was serious, and hurriedly wrote a letter to persuade him, and Zang Hong specially replied. [6]

Portrait of Chen Lin

In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years), the Battle of Guandu broke out, and Chen Lin wrote "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao", which denounced Cao Cao. [7] Cao Cao was suffering from a head wind at that time, and he was sick in bed, and because he was lying down and reading Chen Lin's writings, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and he suddenly got up, and his head wind suddenly healed.

Attached to Cao Cao

After Yuan Shao's defeat, Chen Lin joined Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked him to serve as the secretary of the air force to seek sacrificial wine, manage the bookkeeper's office, and most of the military books were made by Chen Lin and Ruan Yu. [5] [8] Cao Cao loved his talent deeply, and sometimes Cao Cao could not add or subtract a word from Chen Lin's works.

In the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217), the Ding You epidemic broke out, and Chen Lin died of illness.

The representative of the poem is "Drinking Horses and Caves on the Great Wall", describing the suffering brought by heavy labor to the vast number of people, which is of great practical significance. The whole work is written in the form of dialogue, and the influence of Yuefu folk songs is relatively strong, and it is one of the earliest works of poetry intended by literati to compose Yuefu. In addition to the prose "For Yuan Shao's Yuzhou Wen", there are also "For Cao Hong and the Book of the Son" and so on. His prose style is relatively eloquent, the tone is concentrated, and the pen is strong, so Cao Pi has a comment on "Kong Zhangzhang Biao Shujian" ("Another and Wu Qianshu"). Cifu's representative works include "Wu Jun Fu", which praises Yuan Shaoke's exploits in destroying Gongsun Zhan, which is quite magnificent, and was also known as a famous article at that time. and "Shenwu Fu" is to praise the prosperity of Cao Cao's military appearance when he marched north to Wuhuan, and the style is similar to "Wu Jun Fu". Chen Lin changed hands three times during the turmoil between the Han and Wei dynasties, which to a certain extent showed his enthusiasm for fame. This passion is also reflected in his work. Compared with other people in the "Seven Sons", his poems and fu are more prominent in the content of "virtue and fame". [10]

Features of the work

Chen Lin is good at writing chapters and tables, with a more eloquent style, a well-focused style, and a strong pen, which was as famous as Ruan Yu at that time. Chen Lin has written a lot of famous official documents, and his representative work is "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao". Liu Xian's outstanding achievements in the writing of chapter tables and books were also affirmed: "Wenxin Carving Dragon: Talent Strategy" said that Chen Lin was "good at speaking"; "Wenxin Carving Dragon, Shifting" also said that "Chen Lin's Yuzhou is strong and boneless"; "Wenxin Carving Dragon: Chapter Table" said again, "Lin, Yu Zhangtable, had a reputation at that time; Kong Zhang said that he was healthy, and his mark was also". [11]

Chen Lin is also good at writing poems, and only four of his poems remain, which are represented as "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Caves", describing the suffering brought by heavy labor to the people, expressing the poet's sympathy for the people, which is of great practical significance. The whole work is written in the form of dialogue, the influence of Yuefu folk songs is relatively strong, it is one of the earliest literati to compose Yuefu poems, the poetry style is simple, vivid, rich in folk song characteristics, not only praised by later poetry critics, but also has a profound impact on the poetry creation of the Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties. [11]

Historical evaluation

Cao Pi: Today's literati, Lu Guo Kong Rong Wenju, Guangling Chen Lin Kong Zhang, Shanyang Wang Cang Zhongxuan, Beihai Xu Ganwei Chang, Chen Liuruan Yu Yuanyu, Runan Ying Ling Delian, Dongping Liu Zhen Gonggan, Si Seven Sons, Yu Xue has nothing to lose, Yu Ci has nothing to leave, Xianyi is self-defeating for thousands of miles, and he is riding side by side. It is also difficult to convince each other in this way.

Cao Zhi: Xi Zhongxuan walked alone in Hannan, Kong Zhangying was raised in Heshuo, Wei Chang was good at being famous in Qingtu, Gonggan Zhenzao was in the corner of the sea, Delian was born in the Great Wei, and he looked down on Shangjing. At this time, everyone claims to hold the pearl of the spirit snake, and every family claims to be the jade of Baojing Mountain. However, this number still can't be extinct, and it will be a thousand miles in one fell swoop. With Kong Zhang's talent, he is not idle in resignation, but claims to be able to share the same wind with Sima Changqing, such as painting a tiger instead of a dog. The husband does not lose his hearing, and now he is called it, and I cannot sigh in vain, and I am afraid of the scorn of the future generations. [12]

Zang Hong: Okay Kong Zhang! The foot is beneficial to the outside world, and Zang Hong is entrusted to the monarch's relatives; My son is entrusted to the leader of the alliance, and Zang Hongce is named in Chang'an. The son said that the rest of the body died and the name was destroyed, and the servant also laughed at the life and death of the son and was unheard, sad!
