Chapter 56 Serving as a County Commander
As soon as she heard Liu Bei calling her, Gan'er immediately ran over happily and said, "Brother Liu Bei, do you have something to do with me?" ”
"Gan'er, do the laundry, I want to have something to do with you." At this time, since Liu Bei had already decided to leave Wuqiu Yi's army, he naturally didn't want Gan'er to stay here alone: "That's the case, Xian and I are going to Gaotang County in the Plains now, so I came to say goodbye to you." ”
As soon as she heard that Liu Bei and they were going to leave here, Gan'er's heart felt stunned, and she said dumbfounded: "That...... Can I go with you then? ”
"This ...... I'm afraid not, our trip is to Qingzhou, the thieves in Qingzhou are very uproarious, I and Xianhe and they are all men, seeing the thieves is a big deal to fight with them, you are a daughter, I am afraid that you will be in danger, it is better to stay in the barracks, there are many people here, the thieves dare not approach you, and you are safer here. At this time, Liu Bei deliberately made a sad face, and said helplessly.
"I'm not afraid, Brother Liu Bei, you must take me there, grandfather, you will be an amazing person in the future, since this is the case, I will definitely not be in danger if I follow you, Gan'er is not afraid." After listening to Liu Bei's words, Gan'er suddenly said firmly at this time, and her tone was unquestionable: "Besides, you leave me here, I am not familiar with life alone, in case I run into some trouble, who will I go to help me!" ”
"Are you sure you want to go?"
"Sure, you help me and the general, and I'll go wash your clothes and cook!"
"Flutter~ Okay, okay, then I'll take you away, haha...... Silly girl! Liu Bei touched Gan'er's head and said, "Then you go wash your clothes first, and when you're done, you'll go to me!" ”
"Got it, I know the way there!" After finishing it, Gan'er ran to the river with her clothes in her hands.
"Big brother, where have you been?" Liu Bei didn't take a few steps before he ran into Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"I'm going to General Wuqiu Yi!" Liu Bei said as he walked: "You guys go back with me, pack up your things, and prepare to leave here!" ”
"Getting out of here? Where to go? Zhang Fei felt very strange.
"Go to Gaotang County in the Plains, Wu Qiu Yi asked me to serve as the county lieutenant there!"
"Then let's stop doing big things?" The major event that Jian Yong was referring to was the killing of eunuchs.
"What's the big deal, me and you, don't shout, He Jin died a few times ago, he was killed by the eunuchs, Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan took advantage of the chaos to lead troops into Luoyang, and now the capital is in chaos!"
"Na! Tut~" Jian Yong shook his head.
"Then big brother, let's just go with a few people, I think it's better to bring more people!" Guan Yu reminded Liu Bei.
Liu Bei suddenly stopped and said thoughtfully: "Yun looks good, I know!" ”
Before leaving, Liu Bei thought that it was a long way from Yingchuan to the plains, and there were many thieves on the way, with a few of his own people, he was weak, and he was afraid that he would be captured by the thief army before he arrived in Qingzhou, and asked Wuqiu Yi to borrow troops, thinking that Wuqiu Yi would deliberately prevaricate himself, but he didn't expect that he agreed to his request very happily, and borrowed a thousand soldiers and horses from himself.
Although it is unexpected, but in hindsight, the reason for this can still be figured out, at this time Wu Qiu Yi has no interest in this army, He Jin is dead, and the task of recruiting troops and horses is naturally canceled, and now Luoyang City is in danger, at this time he holds this 1,500 Rao army in his hands, not only is it not beneficial, but it may also be deducted as a hat of supporting the army, and this 1,500 Rao army is not raised here, and the supply of grain and grass is also very tricky, If the government suddenly cuts off the supply of grain and grass for itself, these soldiers will inevitably mutiny, and then there will be great trouble. Just when he was worried about where this army should go, Liu Bei just came to borrow the army at this time, so he simply gave Liu Bei a thousand soldiers and horses in one go, not only can the problem of grain and grass be alleviated, but the five hundred Rao army can not make any big troubles, not only get rid of his own troubles, but also lend a favor, as for this favor, it should be returned to Lu Zhi's predecessors, why not do it.
The remaining 500 soldiers and horses were kept first, and he planned to go to Luoyang City to find out what the situation was in the imperial city to see what the situation was in the imperial city. If the situation can be reversed, I will transfer these 500 troops to the imperial city, and if the situation deteriorates, then I will take these 500 troops with me, and I am not afraid that there will be no place to live.
With these thousand soldiers and horses, as long as Liu Bei sees a group of thieves on the way, he will not do anything, and directly rush up to annihilate the other party, not only can his army gain more actual combat experience, but also can use war to feed the war, collect the grain and grass of these thief soldiers as his own, and if he meets the other party who surrenders, he will organize it under his command to supplement the soldiers.
But if you encounter a large army of thieves, then run quickly, hide quickly, run as fast as you can, hide as far as you can, a thousand troops against tens of thousands of troops, this is obviously an egg to hit the stone, in vain to send the lives of the brothers, not worth it, when you are weak, then don't be strong, otherwise you don't know how to die, my father was a bloody example, only when he is strong, can he confront the strong head-on.
In this way, Liu Bei always adhered to the tactics of fighting if he could fight and running if he couldn't beat along the way, and finally let himself miraculously come to Gaotang County in the plains of Qingzhou, which is riddled with thieves.
More than 1,000 teams came to the destination, there were no officials to greet here, and there were no people to greet them, because the officials of Gaotang County fled for their lives because of the continuous incursion of thieves and soldiers, and the county was also in a state of no one to manage, the rich people have moved, and those who have no money can only stay here, when Liu Bei heard the news, his heart was naturally heavy.
During the period of Emperor Huan Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the atmosphere of scholars and doctors "Zang no characters" was very popular, so that there were "Yuedan Commentaries" of characters in Runan. In order to gain a clear reputation and become famous, many ministers and doctors, and even state ministers and county guards, do not want to invite false names and put local affairs behind.
At that time, some people had made a remark on this: "The world of Huan Ling, even more, since the minister and doctor, the state and the county guard, the king is not sympathetic, the guests are the business, the crown is covered and the door is filled, and the Confucian service is stopped." Hungry and tired, tired and tired, Yin Yin is full of water, and the night is the day. Under and the division, Leh city ink ribbon, do not discuss with each other to win people, self-respecting the corporal, the stars are long-awaited, and sent to usher; The pavilion is always full, the officials ask, the torch travels at night, and the temple is not closed. Put your arms on your wrists, buckle your arrows, and push your grace well, not more severely. The clerk is entrusted to the official Cao, and the prisoner is in prison, not to mention the province. ”
The society is in such a vain atmosphere, not doing practical things, only empty talk, racking their brains for a false name, but ignoring political affairs, but not knowing that empty talk will only mislead the country, and hard work can prosper the country.
Therefore, under such an atmosphere of officialdom, it led to the sluggishness of the dynasty, and the Qingxu regional administrators were mostly appointed by famous people who were good at talking, and they could not subdue the civil unrest, and the separatist forces also took advantage of the situation, and the Qingxu region fell into a chaotic situation of "the county is the emperor, and the county is the king", which created a space for the "Qingxu Yellow Turban" to continue to survive and develop in the gap between the various forces.
It can be seen that there is a causal relationship between things, interlocking, and nothing can be created out of nothing, and there must be two factors behind its formation, one is the historical factor, and the other is the practical factor.
Since "there is no tiger in the mountains, the monkey is naturally called the king", the county commander ran away, Liu Bei himself acted as the county commander, and led the thousand soldiers and horses to settle in Gaotang County in the plain, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the army, in charge of the work of public security and urban defense in Gaotang County in the plain, Liu Deran was responsible for food, taxes and other civil affairs work, Jian Yong was responsible for opening up the local forces in Gaotang County in the plain, and persuaded them to unite to fight against foreign thieves, because Liu Bei knew that there were too many contradictions here. However, the main contradiction is the contradiction between the thieves and the government, only by uniting all the forces that can be united, maybe they can compete with the Yellow Turban thieves, and they can defend Gaotang County in the plain, once the thief army captures Gaotang County in the plain, then it means that everything is gone.
"Then again, this trip is worth it, from a county lieutenant to a county commander all of a sudden, Xuande, you are also promoted quickly!" Jian Yong was browsing the situation in the household registration book of Gaotang County, and he wanted to count all the landlords here.
"This is a big responsibility, and there is nothing to be afraid of!" Liu Bei put down the book at this moment, covered his face with his hands and said, "The capital is so chaotic, I don't know if the teacher is okay!" ”
"Lu Zhi's predecessors have a high prestige in our dynasty, Dong Zhuo and they won't do anything to him, maybe they will try their best to win over Lu Zhi's seniors!"
"It's certain to try your best to win over, if you want to gain a foothold in the capital, you must get the support of the old ministers, but I know the character of the teacher, he is so likely to stoop to be a thief!"
"Everything depends on creation, if Dong Zhuo really has the heart to assist the emperor in governance, it is also very good, I am afraid that he will be obsessed with his mind and do whatever he wants!"
"I look at the hanging, let the warlord govern, it's unreliable!"
"Report, Lord Qiqi County, this is a secret letter from Lord Lu Zhi to you!"
"What, teacher!" Liu Bei immediately stood up and walked over to take the secret letter: "You go down first!" ”
"Why did your teacher suddenly send you a letter with what's on it?" Jian Yong put down the work at hand and walked over.
Dong Zhuo risked the disapproval and deposed the emperor without authorization...... Wu Qiu Yi opposed Dong Zhuo's messing around, was killed by Dong Zhuo, and the teacher also escaped from Luoyang! ”
"It's really going to be messed up!"
