Zhen Yi's meaning is obvious, but these words don't need to be pointed out directly, everyone just understands it in their hearts. For this kind of thing, Zhong Miao is also optimistic. In addition to the reason why I know his details and deliberately befriended him, Zhong Miao also needs a safe place to live in the stormy times before the troubled times.

The Eastern Han Empire is already decaying and crumbling, and she can still maintain her apparent authority, but there is still a person named Dong Zhuo, or Zhang Zhuo, Li Zhuo, who came up to lay the last straw.

With this understanding, not only I, a traverser, but also the wise people of this era can see it clearly, and they are all very sober. Just a few years ago, the late Taiwei Qiao Xuanqiao Gongzu and Cao Cao, who was just a stunned young man at the time, said calmly: "The world will be chaotic, and those who are not destined for the world cannot help, and those who are safe are in the king!" I'm old! I would like to trust my wife. "Actually, whether it is the Zhang Jiao brothers or the Zhang Ju brothers, their understanding of the Eastern Han Empire is not wrong, but they are too anxious, or they are too genius, and they are far ahead of the times, and they can only become a stepping stone for the heroes of the troubled times to become successful.

The main reason why Zhong Miao is filial piety and incorruptible, but he travels to study in the secluded land, is not only to expand his knowledge, but also to find himself a hero who can support him. And if it weren't for my recommendation of Hua Tuo's wonderful hand for rejuvenation, Zhen Yi would have died of illness at this time. In fact, earlier, Zhen Yi was also making arrangements for his future. The Zhen family has been in Jizhou for generations, and it is the later northern overlord Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, a generation of powerful people who gather heroes and followers, and they also want to marry the Zhen family and borrow the power of the Zhen family in order to gain a firm foothold in Jizhou.

But this does not mean that the Zhen family can be free from worry, the family is big, and the tree is big. The most important reason why a wealthy family can stand for a hundred years without falling is that they all conform to the general trend of the world. In history, the Zhen family chose Yuan Shao, the overlord of the north, as their refuge object, if it weren't for the five daughters of the Zhen family who made Cao Pi take a fancy to it, he would not be able to get rid of the fate of being martyred for the Yuan family.

In troubled times, generally speaking, it is impossible for wealthy families to put all their eggs in the same basket, and the most famous example of this is the Lang Evil Zhuge Family, the Dragon, Tiger and Dog Three Masters of Shu, Wu and Wei, each according to the three kingdoms. It was in the early battle for hegemony of Cao Yuan in the north that the Xun family, who was the first official eunuch family in Yingchuan, was also divided into two queues. Xun Yu followed Cao Cao and was Cao Cao's staunchest supporter of Cao Cao's resistance to Yuan Shao, but ironically, Xun Yu's own brother Xun Chen followed Yuan Shao, and almost killed Cao Cao several times. In the end, the Yuan family was destroyed, and Xun Chen chose to "disappear" very well, and a generation of celebrities disappeared from the world.

This way of heaven is actually a big gamble, becoming a king and defeating a thief, saying that it is a human scheme, is there no providence?

Zhong Xuan's mind is also very direct, he is looking for a hero who can serve his life, this person may have recognized me in the time he has been with me, or my father Liu Bei, maybe the current Zhong Xuan has not made up his mind. Such an idea, the future of going and staying, only exists in the depths of the heart, everyone has a tacit understanding, and no one has come to break it.

It makes me depressed, but it's realistic.

When his father broke the Yellow Turban camp when he crusaded against the Yellow Turban, the second uncle beheaded Zhang Liang, but he only got a merit ending, and in the court, no one would say a word of justice for his father, or rather, justice is only relative. For the children of the family, one merit is one reward, and for the children of ordinary people like us, the only way to reward merit is to step aside first.

To put it bluntly, our father and son are just children of the broken royal family who have no foundation at all, the so-called royal family descendants, to put it bluntly, they are just a peddler on the border of Youzhou, the hair loss phoenix is not as good as a chicken, who will take you seriously? ! Even though I knew that Tian Feng and Zhong Xuan were all geniuses of Zhibi Liangping's generation, I didn't have the capital to contain them. Good birds choose trees to perch, our father and son can't even build a branch, and the "good birds" don't have a place to stay. Even tiger and wolf generals like the second uncle and the third uncle have to act as a miscellaneous boy, why should a famous man at home like Tian Feng and Zhong Xuan stoop to each other?

And I can temporarily lead the prime minister of Zhongshan at the moment, and the wealthy families in Zhongshan have no opinion, but in fact, I just let me play the role of a shield. Even if I suddenly performed a miraculous feat when I defeated Zhang Chun, who could guarantee that I would be able to keep the Wuhuan people out of Lunu City? Officials come to follow officials, and thieves come to descend thieves has always been the style of all those who know the times.

Among the several principals in Lunu City, Jiang Cai represents the interests of the various families of Lunu, once the situation changes, or when he thinks it is needed, he will abandon me without hesitation as he abandoned Zhang Chun at the beginning. Tian Feng is independent, he once served as a servant in the court, his identity is transcendent, not something I can control, although now as my subordinate and obey my orders, I know that once the crisis is resolved, the Wuhuan people retreat outside the Saiwai, that is, when Tian Feng says goodbye to me. Zhang He led a battalion by himself, if I can get rid of my father's fate of not being rewarded for his achievements in the Yellow Turban, and get the approval of the imperial court for defeating Zhang Chun, maybe he will become a member of our father and son's generals. Gao Ran was recruited by me, but it doesn't mean that he recognized me. In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that in that case, no matter who he can fight in front of Gao Ran's battle, Gao Ran will not hesitate to choose to return to the arms of the Han army, and he has no intention of working for Zhang Chun at all. In history, Gao Ran may have stayed in Jizhou in this way and became the backbone of the Jizhou Han army, and later one of the four court pillars of Hebei under Yuan Shao.

It seems that I think about it a lot, but in fact, it is just a momentary effort. I didn't answer Zhong Xuan's instructions, but I thought about how to make my credit "reach the heavens", instead of marrying others, and I couldn't help but be a little distracted.

"The virtuous brother has a depressed face, is it possible that the two daughters of Duke Zhen are still not in the eyes of the virtuous brother?" Seeing that my face was gloomy, Zhong Xuan also put away his smile, but squeezed me lightly.

"Zhen Gong looks up to me, and I am naturally very grateful, but I have already been engaged. Although the two Miss Zhen are good, I am not blessed. "With the status of the Zhen family, naturally they will not let their daughter be a concubine.

"Oh?" Zhong Xuan seemed to have expected me to say this, so he responded casually, stretched out his hands and rubbed them on the fire, stared at the dancing flames, and said lightly: "Back then, the yellow turban was in turmoil, and there were dozens of people who were named marquis. Xuande Gong repeatedly destroyed strong enemies, turned to the Central Plains Eight Prefectures, and thousands of warriors under his command beheaded and surrendered no less than 100,000, but they were only tired of a mere An Xiwei, and finally they were humiliated by a small post governor, and had no choice but to abandon the official and hide. Do you know why this is? ”

"My father is meritorious, but no one sees it in his eyes and takes it to heart. Zhonglang General Lu Zigan (Lu Zhi) is my father's mentor, but unfortunately he was falsely accused and imprisoned. "Before the arrival of the troubled times, a soldier's paradise, those who played with guns never played with the pen, and I naturally understood the truth.

"So, the virtuous brother ambushed the mountain thieves and the thieves, and killed Zhang Chun in one fell swoop in the snowy night, it stands to reason that it has been a few days since the report Han Wenjie (Han Fu), why is the return to the book delayed?" Zhong Xuan picked a dead branch and threw it into the fire, but he didn't see any expression on his face, and he didn't look at me.

Hangeun Festival is a no-brainer, this must be someone under his command who asked him to "wait and see". I smiled faintly. In fact, it is unspeakably uncomfortable in my heart, Qiu Liju has tens of thousands of Wuhuan iron horsemen under his command, chasing snow and roaring south, the border guards of Youzhou in the Han Dynasty are also elite divisions, not to mention the generals of the father and the second uncle and the third uncle, the tiger and wolf, Gongsun Zan is also a good general in the late Han Dynasty, but he can only maintain an invincible situation with Qiu Liju. In history, Gongsun Zhan shook Liaodong, and once beat the Hu people not daring to enter the fortress, but in the face of Qiu Liju's Wuhuan Kou, he let him "banknote slightly green, Xu, You, Hebei, the four states were harmed, and the Ou could not be controlled"! At present, although the city of Lunu has been pieced together several times, it is not more than 10,000 soldiers, and there are 2,000 light horses, in this case, the adults and men of the state pastoral mansion are still thinking about themselves, waiting to see the changes, how not to make people feel cold!

"Brother Xian can still laugh?" Zhong Xuan glared at me and said angrily. For this kind of thing, Zhong Miao is also very depressed, in the final analysis, he is also a Confucian scholar, everyone is begging for thieves for the country, but those people are only looking at others one by one to go up and desperately hide behind themselves to pick up wallets, they would rather die than suffer, desperately take advantage of others, and see that they want to let the Wuhuan people go to the Central Plains, and their hearts are naturally not very happy.

"Yuan Chang is already confident, what are you waiting for, don't teach me quickly." Zhong Xuan's temperament is usually free and easy, but at this juncture, he won't joke, since he is willing to sit down and chat with me, naturally he won't just talk about it.

Zhong Xuan looked like he had been defeated by you, and said with a depressed face: "I originally had a way, but you don't need it." You are the lord of a county, and you make up your own mind. (Han system, the status of the kingdom minister is equivalent to the county taishou)

He doesn't go on, and I understand. If I marry the Zhen family, with the Zhen family's status in Jizhou, they will naturally help me, and I will be invincible. Otherwise, the Zhen family and I have a great grace to save my life, and it is already very reasonable to help me ambush the bandits of Mangshan and Dangyin Mountain. If you are not related to each other, how can there be any internationalist spirit to make me a great contributor to the defeat of the Wuhuan people? And the wealthy families in Zhongshan obviously have the same thoughts, although there are only more than 10,000 people in Lunu City at the moment, it is enough to keep the Wuhuan people out of Lunu City, which is enough, let them spend a lot of money but can only achieve my credit, no one is so stupid. And without the financial support of the rich family, and the state pastoral government obviously won't give me a "salary", what can I do to fight the Wuhuan people?

But it's a pity that the road of "harmony" doesn't work, otherwise I would like to have a bumper harvest of fame and fortune.

"According to Brother Yuan Chang, how should I behave?" It's useless to go on this topic, so I'm going to get around it, but I can't do it without fighting for it.

A hint of cunning flashed in Zhong Xuan's eyes, and he still spit out two words: "Harmony!" ”
