Chapter 42: Fleeing to the Plains
Liu Bei was furious and beat the post governor, immediately returned to his house, hurriedly packed his luggage, and fled with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong. Liu Bei knew that he had committed a serious crime at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid when he thought about it. But no matter what, if you don't run away at this time, once you are caught, your life will be ruined.
Since Liu Bei was beaten, he had a belly of fire, he was also a superintendent, he was a cronies of the county guard, and he was beaten by a county lieutenant for no reason, how could this be reasonable, he immediately reported Liu Bei's crime of beating him, and after verification, the situation was true, and then the county government issued a wanted warrant for Liu Bei and others, and now Liu Bei and his party have obviously fallen from heroes to fugitives.
Liu Bei rode a horse at this time, thinking about running out of Anxi County first, but after that, there must be a place to stay, Youzhou can't go, his hometown, running back is to die, maybe they have already laid out a net there. Su Shuang can't go there, not to mention that Liu Deran hasn't come back yet, and Su Shuang's situation doesn't know, even if he knows, what kind of face does he have as a criminal to see him, he keeps saying that he wants to rejuvenate the Han family, but he can't even control his temper, Su Shuang supported himself not because he wanted to see him commit a crime, but to fulfill Xue'er's wish, and now he is embarrassed to see him, won't he be beaten to death. And then there is Teacher Lu Zhi, Teacher Lu Zhi is in Luoyang, and the student has become a criminal, isn't this discrediting the teacher, and Luoyang can't go.
Thinking about the size of the world, there is no place to live, seeing that they have escaped from Anxi County, Liu Bei and others slowed down, at this time Liu Bei sighed and said: "Brothers, Liu Bei can't stand you, so you and I wander together, I thought that everyone and I have been sharing weal and woe for so many years, I have mixed up in the officialdom, and I can also take you brothers, but yesterday because of my temper, I delayed your future, Liu Bei really can't stand you." ”
Zhang Fei listened to Liu Bei's words, and said movingly: "Big brother, everyone is a brother, what is there to be sorry for, I Zhang Fei was originally a pork seller, and now I have followed my eldest brother out, at least I have been an official for a few days, yesterday's incident, don't talk about you, big brother, if I let Zhang Fei run into it, I will also beat that dog thing, haha...... Joyfully! ”
"The third brother is right, eldest brother, I, Guan Yu, was originally a fugitive, if it weren't for the eldest brother, you sacrificed your life to save you, and my Guan Yu's head still doesn't know where it is, and now in this troubled world, I'm afraid that our brothers will not be able to do anything."
"That's it, Yun Changyide said it well, Xuande, don't be too difficult for yourself, they are all brothers who have known each other for so long, there is nothing to mind." Jian Yong was out of breath at this time, and his body was obviously a big difference compared to Liu Guanzhang.
"Are you alright, Kenhe, do you want to take a break!" Liu Bei saw that Jian Yong might be overworked, and his face was not very good.
"I'm fine, I ran all night, plus I was overly nervous on the road, so my body couldn't keep up, it's okay, let's walk slowly, now I can do it at this speed!"
"Then we're slowing down a bit, and now we've escaped from Anxi County, and it's not going to be a big deal for the time being!"
Liu Bei listened to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong's words just now, and he was also very moved in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he could hand over these good brothers who were so affectionate and righteous in this troubled world, it was really a blessing from his previous life. If this disaster does not hurt everyone's peace, then everything can be started all over again.
Jian Yong saw everyone walking aimlessly on horseback at this time, so he asked, "Xuande, where are we going now?" ”
To be honest, Liu Bei doesn't know, but as a leader, he doesn't know what it is, think about it, and now the only one who has a little relationship with him is Liu Ziping in Pingyuan, so he said: "We might as well go to Liu Ziping." ”
"Liu Ziping?" Jian Yong knew that at this time, the four of them had no way out, and there was no way to find Liu Ziping, because they and Liu Ziping couldn't say that they were familiar, but they couldn't say that they weren't familiar, everyone had been on the battlefield together, but they didn't have a deep relationship emotionally, and they didn't know anything about him, what if the four of them went, Liu Ziping sold them, thinking of this, Jian Yong said: "Liu Ziping, I think it's okay, why don't I go to explore the way for everyone first, and see how Liu Ziping's situation is?" ”
Liu Bei knew that Jian Yong was not at ease with Liu Ziping, and seeing that he was thinking so carefully, he said movingly: "Xianhe, that's for you, be careful on the road." ”
Seeing that Liu Bei agreed, Jian Yong rode his horse to the Qingzhou Plain: "Xuande, I'll go back when I go." ”
"Don't be too fast, it's okay to take a break on the road when you're tired!" Liu Bei shouted loudly at Jian Yong, who was running away.
I saw Jian Yong with his back to Liu Bei, raised his hand in the air and waved, and walked straight away.
And during Liu Bei's tenure as the lieutenant of Anxi County and even the cane to supervise the post, there was a rebellion in Liangzhou in the northwest of the Han Dynasty and a rebellion of Bian Zhang and Han Sui, and then a rebellion of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun occurred in Youzhou, which was really dangerous for the Han Dynasty that had just experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
In the first year of Zhongping, the news of the Yellow Turban Army's uprising in Hebei reached Liangzhou, and Qianghu in Liangzhou took the opportunity to launch an uprising led by Huang Zhongyi from Hu Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, and attacked and killed Linghui, the captain of Huqiang. The Han Haoqiang also joined the uprising, Jincheng people Bian Zhang, Han Suisu famous Xizhou, a group of thieves lured and robbed, so that the full-time military and political officials, killed Jincheng Taishou Chen Yi, and attacked and burned the prefecture and county. In the second year of Zhongping, the Xiliang thief army attacked the land of Sanfu (Silijie), and the emperor appointed Zhang Wen, a general of chariot and cavalry, to lead the army to attack.
Shangshu Lu Zhi took this opportunity to suggest to Zhang Wen that the Xiliang cavalry was brave and good at fighting, and perhaps three thousand elite cavalry could be summoned from Youzhou, and Gongsun Zhan would supervise the army and follow Zhang Wen to attack the Xiliang rebels, and there would be greater certainty. Zhang Wen knew that Gongsun Chan studied under Lu Zhi, and had heard of Gongsun Zan before, and he and Zou Jing attacked the Hu people together, and he was a brave general, so he listened to Lu Zhi's proposal and gave Gongsun Chan the capital governor to act in the run, commanding the 3,000 cavalry.
And when Gongsun Zhan led the army to Jizhong, Zhang Ju, a tyrant of Yuyang County, who was originally Taishan Taishou, saw that Zhang Wen attached so much importance to a county order and did not pay attention to himself, so he resented Zhang Wen, so he teamed up with Zhang Chun, a native of Yuyang, to lure Qiu Liju, the leader of Wuhuan in Liaoxi, and others to launch a rebellion and capture the cities of Beiping County and Liaoxi County. Gongsun Chan then led 3,000 cavalry to pursue Zhang Chun and other traitors, and made great achievements and was promoted to cavalry captain, but due to the collusion between the thieves inside and outside, the strength was strong, and it was difficult for Gongsun Chan to completely defeat them with only 3,000 cavalry, so the two were in a stalemate.
In order to eliminate the traitors, the imperial court sent Meng Yi, a Zhonglang general, to Qingzhou to recruit soldiers and horses, and prepare to quell the rebellion with Gongsun Zhan. At this time, Jian Yong came to the Qingzhou Plain, in order to find Liu Ziping, he inquired all the way, and finally came to Pingyuan County and found Liu Ziping, who was busy recruiting soldiers and horses.
"Lord Liu, in Xia Jian Yong, is Liu Bei's work with Lord Liu." Jian Yong approached Liu Ziping and reported to himself in a low voice.
When Liu Ziping heard it, it turned out to be Liu Xuande's person, but he didn't know why Liu Xuande sent someone to find him at this time: "Oh, it turned out to be Xuande's person, I don't know what your family is looking for me?" ”
Jian Yong said with a sad face at this time: "That's the case, before the imperial court said that it would eliminate people who had made military merits, so the county guards from all over the country sent superintendents to inspect the grassroots level. ”
"It is so." Liu Ziping said.
"But Zhongshan Guo's superintendent of the post for his own selfish interests, using the power in his hands to ask for a bribe from my family, as soon as my lord arrived in office, he fulfilled his duties, and the people did not commit any crimes, how can there be money to bribe this superintendent, but the superintendent threatened my family, if he did not come up with money, he would dismiss my family on the grounds that my family's military merits were in name only." At this time, in order to deceive Liu Ziping's sympathy, Jian Yong deliberately made up the scene, anyway, when the time comes, he will string up with Liu Bei and them, and what he said will be the truth.
"And this?" At this time, Liu Ziping said in surprise.
"There is a man named Zhang Yide under my family, he can't be angry that this superintendent is so bullying, so he beat this superintendent, there is no way, now my family has become a wanted criminal, so he resigned, and there is nowhere to go." In order to beautify Liu Bei's image at this time, Jian Yong had to add the crime to Zhang Fei's head, which was also a helpless move.
"Hahaha......" Liu Ziping laughed after hearing this: "What a Zhang Yide, I have seen him before, he and another red-faced young man can be described as heroic, such corrupt officials fight well." ”
Liu Ziping knew the purpose of Jian Yong's visit, Liu Bei is now a fugitive, if he hides him privately, it will not be beneficial to anyone, and he can't hide from the fifteenth day of junior high school, now is an eventful autumn, and the war is tight in various places, it is better to recommend Liu Bei to General Meng Yi, so that Liu Bei can make up for his military merits, and make up for his merits, thinking of this, he said: "I already know about Xuande, it's better like this, I recommend your family to General Meng Yi who recruited troops in Qingzhou, General Meng Yi is going to attack the thief army in Youzhou after recruiting troops here, It just so happens that your family is still from Youzhou, and the locals are also familiar with the local situation. ”
When Jian Yong heard this, he quickly knelt down and said gratefully: "Then I will thank you on behalf of my family here." ”
"Hey~ Hurry up, please get up, this is not the place to say thanks, and now is not the time to say thanks, I'll go to General Meng Yi first, if he agrees, you go and inform Xuande, if he doesn't agree, then you can run, run as far as you can, now anyway, when the war breaks out, there will definitely be room for your development!"
"Yes, Lord Liu has a hard time!" Jian Yong said.
Liu Ziping nodded, then picked up the brochure and continued to check it.
