The wind did not stop, and the long society was on fire. The Yellow Turban Camp burned to pieces in an instant.

The thieves ran and cried, and fled in all directions. The Han army ambushed all the troops, attacked the defenders inside and outside the city of Changshe, beheaded tens of thousands of people, and relieved the siege of Changshe.

Xia Yu, Dong Zhuo and others took advantage of the victory to pursue, Yu Yangzhai attacked Bocai, and defeated Peng Tuo in Xihua. The remaining army wanted to escape from Wancheng, but Sun Jian entered the city first, followed by the generals, and advanced layer by layer like an ant, breaking the enemy army.

Within a month, the remaining thieves dispersed, and the three counties were peaceful.

At the beginning of August, the Gohara landslide.

Liu Bei, the thistle king who was far away in Dunhuang, also received a report of the great victory of the Changshe.

Most of the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou were exterminated, and the remnants were scattered into rogues. Avoid deep mountains and dense forests, and form a village to defend itself. Xia Yu, Dong Zhuo, Zhu Jun and others are vigorously fighting to clear the remaining Kou, preparing to cross the river north and rush to the aid of Guangzong.

On the newspaper, the name of Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, was also mentioned several times.

Henan was pacified, which greatly pleased His Majesty. Meritorious ministers are all named marquis. The Luoyang court swept away the previous haze, and there were many great disasters and there would be a future blessing if you don't die. However, the wise people all think that the number of Han Qi has been exhausted, but it is just a return to the light.

"Why?" Looking up at the foothills of Beiyu Mountain, Liu Bei asked.

Li Ru, the right man of the Metropolitan Protectorate who accompanied him, replied: "The newspaper said 'burn the Changsha and defeat the Yellow Turban'. However, it is not to exterminate, but to disperse. Most of the yellow turbans are scattered into small strands. Widely spread the rich land of Henan. Destroy thieves and become bandits. It will be a protracted battle. The court struggled to support it, and there was no longer any strength left to raise troops on a large scale. As expected by (Li) Confucian, His Majesty will inevitably order all prefectures and counties to recruit their own villagers, garrison the city, and exterminate bandits. At that time, or the history of the assassination was dismissed, and the state pastor was reinstated. It is above the county guard and is in charge of the military and political power of a state. In this way, it is like the friendship of the Qin and Han dynasties, and the princes compete with each other. Luoyang court is like the righteous emperor. Guarding the righteousness, but the thirteen states in the world are beyond the reach of the whip. ”

The state pastor was not initiated by His Majesty.

Emperor Wu set up thirteen states, each state set up a thorn history, with 600 stone officials, supervising the local officials including 2,000 stone guards. Therefore, the ministry is the supervision area, and the assassin is the supervision officer. In the first year of Emperor Suihe (8 years ago), the history of assassination was changed to state pastor. Post-waste impermanence.

Liu Bei sighed secretly. It really deserves to be 100 million Li Wenyou. As he expected, His Majesty would soon remove the history of assassination and set up a state pastor. And give the military and government great powers, and recruit troops to suppress bandits on their own.

Since then, there have been wars in various places. Farmers have left their homes and have no time to farm. So the war continued, and the famine resumed. The people are not able to make a living, and hunger is everywhere. Plagues will grow. Such disasters are repeated, even the glorious Tianhan is difficult to support.

The society collapsed in one day. The 400-year-old national honor is gone.

"Is there a solution?" Liu Bei asked again.

Li Ruchang replied: "At that time, the lord should sweep the world with the power of thunder. Set things right, and then continue the national ancestry. It's the best policy. ”

Looking up at the verdant mountains, Liu Bei sighed: "Time is not waiting for me, but I am looking for a hermit." ”

"Whoa." Li Ru smiled happily.

Beiyu Mountain, also known as "Sanwei Mountain". It was once the residence of the Queen Mother of the West. Its mountains are blue and brown, the mountains are connected, and the mountains are far apart. There is a saying that "the three peaks are towering, such as the danger of falling, so the clouds are in three dangers".

Just as the water of a river is very clear, and the weak water flows for a long time.

Nowadays, this mountain is also an ancient tree towering to the sky, and the stream is murmuring. Birds singing and flowers, cherry blossoms and red willows.

Stone steps have been carved out of the mountain, or rope ladders have been provided. Climbing all the way can hardly be called difficult.

Climb over a dangerous peak, and suddenly hear poetry. Liu Bei listened attentively. I heard the sentence "Zhou Gong is Sima, and the white fish enters the king's boat".

This is clear in my heart. We won't return empty-handed.

And through a mountain forest, I saw several thatched huts.

The door of the grass house is open, and the mountain breeze is coming. Half of the centenarians were reading by the window.

Shi Jian was about to step forward and report loudly, but Liu Bei stretched out his hand to stop him.

Then the people stood at the door with the king of thistles, and listened to the old man recite the psalms he had created.

Liu Bei was listening attentively, and suddenly heard the birds singing overhead.

The old man in the room stopped chanting and sighed, "The magpie is frightened, and there will be heroes who listen to it." ”

Liu Bei was still unsatisfied, so he replied loudly: "Liu Bei of Jiguo, looking for Hou Jun is here." ”

"It was the king of thistle in person, and he allowed the old man to tidy up his clothes and go out of the hut to meet him."

Suddenly. There was an old man with gray hair mixed with gray and white temples, and his temples were slightly frosty, and he went out to greet him: "The mountain village man, the unknown king drives." If you miss the distance, you hope that the king will forgive your sins. ”

"Liu Bei visited without telling him, and he also looked forward to Hou Jun Haihan." Liu Bei returned the salute.

"King Thistle, please give it up."

"Hou Jun, please."

Take off your shoes and enter the room, and ask Liu Bei to sit in the south. Hou Jin and Li Ru are each at the bottom.

"Dare to ask the king, why did you come?" When the boy presented Liu Bei with the seasonal wild fruits in the mountains, Hou Jin asked.

"I came here alone, but I asked Hou Jun to come out of the mountain to help." Liu Bei got straight to the point.

"The Chinese saying, 'Rotting wood is not a pillar.'" Forgive old age, old age, old age, old and faint, and should not be used by the king. Hou Jin really refused.

Liu Bei was not surprised, so he persuaded: "Before, under the door, I listened to Hou Jun reciting the poems he created, which included the sentence 'Zhou Gong is Sima, and the white fish enters the king's boat'. King Xiwu and Duke Zhou inherited the heaven and earth, so there were white fish into the king's boat, and the flow cremated the auspicious rui of the red black. However, since the first emperor, disasters have continued, and the world has been in turmoil. Gaozu once said, 'When a man dies in the border field, and his body is buried in horse leather, how can he lie in bed and be evil in the hands of his daughter?' Now I use the words of the ancestors to persuade the king: 'The world is swinging, the national thieves have not been destroyed, and people with lofty ideals should ride horses and whip their horses and throw their pens from Rong. In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away. How can you learn from the hermit to escape the world and end up in the mountain spring? ”

"King Wu fell, in the middle of the stream, the white fish jumped into the king's boat, and King Wu bowed down to sacrifice. After watching the soldiers in Mengjin, there was a fire flowing in the royal house, turning into a red black, three-legged. Hou Jin asked: "Dare to ask the king, would you like to be the Duke of Zhou, or would you like to be the King of Martial Arts?" ”

Li Ru, who has been sitting with him to the side, closed his eyes and recuperated, did not say a word. Hearing this, I couldn't help but slowly open my eyes.

Liu Bei smiled loudly: "I am a descendant of Gaozu and a relative of the Han family. If you want to turn the tide and fall, the building will fall. Neither the Duke of Zhou nor the King of Martial Arts. ”

Li Ru smiled slightly and stopped talking.

After pondering for a long time, Hou Jin came to his senses. Confessing to the Lord: "Hearing the king's words, the old decay is like an empowerment, and the mouth suddenly opens." The heart is suddenly relieved, and there is no mustard. He used this carcass as a cow and horse, and was willing to be driven by the king. Even if you are crushed, you have no regrets. ”

"Lonely Hou Jun, why worry about big things." Liu Bei was overjoyed and hurriedly got up to help him.

Hou Jin packed his bags and asked the boy to take care of the hut, wait for the king of this to calm the world, and then return to the old age. The boy fell to the ground and wept goodbye.

Hou Jun, who is famous in Xizhou, is also the king of thistles. The heroes of Xizhou, who were hesitating and watching the current situation, came one after another.

There are children of the Xizhou clan who have been activated, and there are also scholars from poor families who have been awarded high positions. Longyou is a place, and the people's hearts are attached.

Seeing that the situation had been decided, Haoyou released the remaining 100,000 people. Liu Bei sent people to settle the cities and live together with Qianghu. Everything is like thistle.

Hou Jin asked Liu Bei: Would you like to be the Duke of Zhou, or would you like to be the King of Martial Arts.

Liu Bei replied: Not the Duke of Zhou, nor the King of Martial Arts.

If it weren't for the comparison.

As the teacher said: comparable to Guangwu.

"Tianshui County has Dao County, and the riding capital is Wei Zhi Ai Ting."

Ai Ting, is the former Han Dynasty Tianshui County riding capital Wei Zhi. Today's Han changed Tianshui to Hanyang. Although there is no captain, another old lieutenant lives in seclusion.
