Volume 1 The Beginning of the Late Han Dynasty Chapter 64 Gao Shun and Zhang Liao (2)
Zhang Liao's character is far away, and he is a native of Yanmen Mayi. He was once subordinate to Ding Yuan, He Jin, Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu. After LΓΌ Bu was defeated, Zhang Liao surrendered to Cao Cao. Since then, he has been on a campaign with Cao Cao and has made great achievements. In the Battle of Hefei, Zhang Liao led 800 soldiers to attack Sun Quan's 100,000 army and hit Sun Quan's commander, which made Sun Quan frightened and Wu's army was invincible. Later, he broke the army of 100,000 with 7,000 people and almost captured Sun Quan alive. After this battle, Zhang Liaowei shook Jiangdong and became famous, and "Zhang Liao's cry" has also become a legendary allusion to the folk. Zhang Liao was respected by all dynasties and became one of the sixty-four generals in ancient and modern times.
Of course, this is the official history of him. Now Zhang Liao is only in his twenties, although he is a famous family, but he has only done the position of Sima of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which is the season of surging blood and ambition.
Song Shijiang immediately decided to take Zhang Liao as a breakthrough. He stopped smiling, and said to Zhang Liao with a fist: "General Wenyuan, Song Jiang knows that you are both civil and military, and you are quick and cautious in your thinking. I don't have much to say, but I want to talk to you about today's general trend. Zhang Liao raised his eyebrows and did not answer.
"Since Huan Ling, the relatives have been far away, first the relatives were autocratic, and then there were eunuchs in power, the government was chaotic, the people were extremely poor, and there was a great chaos in the Yellow Turban, which made the Central Plains withered and the country was lost. People of insight in the world are all suffocated and heartbroken. β
Song Shijiang looked at Zhang Liao and said eloquently: "Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the people of the world were willing to remove the scourge of eunuchs, but they didn't know how to drive jackals to welcome wolves. Dong Zhuo, the nature of a jackal, the face is kind and ruthless, abolishing the Han Emperor, killing the monarch, banning the palace, and ruling the government. The general was famous, received the grace of the country, and was already an official when he was a young man. β
"Loyalty and righteousness are like generals, wisdom is like generals, how can you stoop to be a thief?" Song Shijiang said as he spoke, became excited, and shouted loudly, "If you don't believe in Wenyuan, you just succumb to Dong thief for that fame and fortune...... How can you stoop to become a thief? Song Shijiang kept shouting, very excited.
Seeing that Song Shijiang was excited, Zhang Liao's young and fair face showed a look of surprise, and then it slowly turned red, and then his expression was restrained, but there was a faint hint of gratitude and understanding.
After a while, Song Shijiang calmed down, arched his hand and said: "Wenyuan, I'm sorry, I couldn't control my emotions, and I was rude." I just don't understand the general, and I am unfair for the general. Before, Chen Gong asked the general how he thought of Dong Zhuo's actions, and he thought that the general knew very well in his heart, but he didn't want to talk about it. There is a reason for the reluctance to talk about it. β
"The general absolutely knows that Dong Zhuo acted tyrannyly, abolished the emperor, and disrupted the palace, and he would be opposed and attacked by loyal and righteous people in the world, and he would not be rich for a long time. However, the general is only because he belongs to Dong Zhuo, and he is even more friendly with Lu Bu, if he abandons Dong and goes, it will be disloyal, and if he turns his back on Lu Zhuo, it will be unjust. Loyalty, everyone in the world respects loyalty and righteousness, and the general is also burdened by this loyalty, and the general does not want to be the person who betrays the Lord and is disloyal and unrighteous......" Song Shijiang said a lot in one breath.
"Jiang just doesn't vomit unpleasantly, he is not angry for the general, if there is anything wrong, I hope Wenyuan will forgive me." Song Shijiang took a long breath and arched his hand and said.
After a while, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan also let out a long sigh, and finally raised his hand and saluted with his fists. He said in a low voice: "Those who are ministers should be loyal and righteous first. Kong said: 'Ministers are loyal. ββ¦β¦ General Song...... Thank you, General Song, for thinking about it for me. But how can I be unfaithful and unjust......"
With another long sigh, Zhang Liao said slowly: "The prime minister is tyrannical, and the world is angry, how Liao doesn't know." However, if the prime minister treats me well, how can I be the minister who betrays the lord, and if a person has no loyalty, how can he stand in this heaven and earth. β
"Wen Yuan, a certain Song Jiang really didn't misunderstand you. Those who have loyalty in their hearts are worthy of the attention of our generation. Song Shijiang smiled and said, "You have loyalty in your heart, this is the premise of communication with you." If you speak of loyalty, our brothers will also speak of righteousness. β
Song Shijiang pointed to Chen Gong beside him, and said with admiration on his face: "Chen Gong was originally the commander of Dongmu County, and he abandoned the county order to save Cao Cao for loyalty, and then abandoned Cao Cao because of loyalty, and succumbed to the township soldiers with three hundred stones, no complaints and no regrets, isn't it loyal?" β
He pointed at Lu Junyi again and said: "Brother Junyi, Wu Liuwen Tao is far away from Song Jiang, and he is bloody on the battlefield to block foreign races, and he is dissatisfied with the faintness of the court and sacrifices his officials for the people, isn't it loyal and righteous?" β
"Brother Naru Dalu Zhishen, it's best to fight injustice in life, let the chivalrous fight for righteousness, and sacrifice your life to save the countless people you don't know, isn't it loyal? The same is true of Nadianwei. Over there, Lu Zhishen heard Song Shijiang say about himself, and couldn't help laughing.
"And that Zhao Yun! Na Wu Song...... All of us and others have come together because of our loyalty. You talk about loyalty, that's why a certain Song Jiang looks down on you. Song Shijiang said in a loud voice.
Zhang Liao arched his hand in all directions, and said solemnly: "Everyone, gentlemen! I was fortunate to see all of you, Zhang Liao, and I was fortunate to see all the gentlemen gathered in one place to gallop vertically, and I Zhang Liao was also envious...... However, General Song said it well, you talk about loyalty and righteousness, and stand in heaven and earth. I, Zhang Liao, must also be loyal in order to stand in heaven and earth. How can you be a betrayer. β
Song Shijiang was dumbfounded, and after a few words, Zhang Liao actually wanted to be a loyal person even more, and strengthened his belief in loyalty. Or was he surrounded by Zhang Liao? He admired it even more in his heart, whether it was being surrounded by Zhang Liao, or Zhang Liao's firm belief in loyalty, these all proved Zhang Liao's talent and loyalty. Hey, I don't believe it anymore, I'm a good teacher. I must have convinced you. Song Shijiang's battle universe is burning, and he must fight a big battle, of course, a war of words.
Song Shijiang shook his head lightly, smiled and said, "Wenyuan, this is wrong. To uphold loyalty, there is also a premise. This premise is that only those who are worthy of loyalty can be loyal. As Wen Yuan said, 'the ministers are loyal', but Song Jiang remembered that there was also a saying in the front that 'the monarch makes the ministers courteous' and there is 'the ministers are loyal' in the back. If the king is rude, then the minister is also disloyal. Mencius said: "Rulers and ministers are righteous." Now your lord Dong Zhuo is rude and unrighteous first, bullying the king, defiling the court, cruel and unkind, cruelty and cruelty, all loyal and patriotic people are all resentful, and they can't kill this thief. Such a king, you are still loyal to him, isn't it a pearl to secretly vote, isn't it a big loyalty and a small righteousness? β¦β¦ Wenyuan, loyal to the Han Emperor to defend the dynasty, protect the people, and relieve the people's water and fire, this party is loyal and righteous, this party can shine on the lintel, shine sweat and green! Wen Yuan doesn't want to follow that Dong thief for a long time, and his descendants will be ashamed......"
Zhang Liao's complexion changed greatly, and he was silent for a long time.
On the side, Chen Gong looked at Song Shijiang with that appreciative gaze and smiled. And Lu Junyi, who was sitting in the deputy seat, couldn't help but close his eyes, his heart was churning, and he sighed: "Today, how can you compare with this Song Jiang?" Another brilliant speech, how can a certain be reached. Alas, so-and-so is just a rough man with a knife and a gun, let's go......"
In the middle of the sound, Zhang Liao clasped his fists with both hands, bowed deeply to Song Shijiang, and said in a low voice: "General Song, listening to your words made Liaomao suddenly open, and the confusion of several years was suddenly solved. Dong Zhuo is unrighteous and disloyal, how can he accompany him into a thousand years of infall, how can he give up his loyalty and accept small righteousness. β¦β¦ Let's go, if the general releases Zhang Liao, Liao is willing to disarm and return to the field, and the old Tian Lang ......" Zhang Liao's face was gloomy, his heart was disheartened, and his voice became more and more muffled.
"No, no, no......" Song Shijiang was so anxious that he grabbed Zhang Liao's hands and said sincerely, "Wenyuan, Wenyuan is so talented, how can Wu Luo Wentao waste his acres." If there is chaos today, it is the time for our loyal and righteous people to repay the country. Show your ambitions and shine on the lintel, Wenyuan, just now! β
Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "General Song, I don't know, a certain fourteen-year-old was a county official, with Ding Yuan, with He Jin, and Dong Zhuo, it has been another seven years, but he is still busy, only serving as Sima of the Western Liang Army. Where did you come from? What's more, who is worth going to again? β
Song Shijiang was already impatient, he was a little embarrassed, and said hurriedly: "General Zhang, a certain ......" On the side, Chen Gong knew what Song Shijiang was going to say, and gently pulled Song Jiang, and said with a smile: "General Zhang, the palace also has a word I want to say to the general." β
He said: "Gong had the same confusion as the general half a year ago. Confused by the world, who is a defector; The world is so big, how can we be honest and loyal and show our ambitions. A certain even had another discussion with General Na Zilong to explore what the master is. Talking about the world's heroes, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Han Fu, Kong Rong, Gongsun Zhan, etc., are all discussed. Of course, Dong Zhuo is no longer on the list of discussions, he is not qualified......" Chen Gong added such a sentence, which caused Zhang Liao's face to be even more gloomy.
Chen Gong waved lightly at Song Shijiang and continued: "Although Gong and Zhao Zilong are both civil and military, they both think that Song Jiang is also the master. The lord of my family, starting from the acres of fields, has the ability to both civil and military, has the ambition to level the world, and has a generous and benevolent heart, and is loyal and righteous. Now, although it is only for a county order, only for the commander of the township soldiers and guards, there are countless capable people with lofty ideals under the account, loyal and righteous people gather, and there are countless brave soldiers. It is certain that one day our Lord will rise to the top and crisscross the seas. β¦β¦ General Zhang, my lord values you very much. I believe that if you can work with us, you will definitely be able to show your talents and be ambitious. General Zhang, why don't you vote for my lord! β
Zhang Liao heard Chen Gong's words and was moved. Seeing Song Shijiang looking at himself with a hopeful face, he was even more grateful in his heart. But he still bowed his head and said respectfully: "Liao Wan Xie General Zhang values it, and he hates to give up his life and drive." However, so-and-so still couldn't agree. β
Later, Lu Zhishen was not happy, slapped the table, and yelled loudly: "This is not good, that is unwilling, such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, the sprinkler family is too big." In a word, how can you join us? You can make it clear! Ahh He sighed heavily, and turned to Na Dian Wei and said, "The Sprinkle family still likes me and other cool people, and the Sprinkle family can't understand the affairs of their scholars......
