In the winter of the third year of Han Xiping, in 174 AD, the northern part of Youzhou was about to rush to Lulongsai, and the cold wind was howling.

Outside the fortress, a large battalion that can accommodate thousands of Xianbei soldiers stands on the key road junction several miles away, with a mountain jutting out of the Yanshan Mountains on the left and Luanshui on the right. In winter, the mountains are extraordinarily dark, and Luanshui is extraordinarily white, reflecting in pairs, showing a solemn atmosphere.

And in stark contrast to this big camp, it is naturally the tall and majestic Lulongsai in the south of the big camp.

Lulongsai is the later Xifengkou, is a natural pass on the Yanshan mountain range, the south side of this place is gentle, the altitude is only two hundred meters, and so on to the north side but abruptly rises to the height of one thousand meters above sea level, only the middle is washed out of a huge pass by the Luan River, the passage of cars and horses is unimpeded, it has always been the main passage in and out of the North China Plain.

In such a position, of course, the Han Dynasty was not blind, so the defense line here was built as solid, especially the Lu Longsai facing the main road, all of which were made of stones, and the city wall was more than five zhang high, and the wall was also repaired with a watchtower as high as three zhang.

This is the world-famous Lulong Tower.

Standing downstairs, the so-called tall and majestic, majestic, a husband and a man are not open, probably this is what it means.

At this time, in this majestic Lulong Building, in a clean and sunny room for officers, more than a dozen large boxes were piled up, and a tall, about eighteen or nineteen years old, probably barely a young man, was sitting alone in front of a few cases at the door, staring blankly at the window.

"Three Kingdoms?" I don't know how long it took, but the young man named Gongsun Xun finally couldn't help but sigh a little helplessly in his heart. "Is there more than ten years left in the world to be chaotic? The world of this big man is clear...... All in all, it's incredible. ”

It is said that as early as a few years ago, in the face of a plague that swept half of Youzhou, his mother, who was frightened because of a cold and cough at the time, finally couldn't help but tell herself, saying what kind of traverser she was, and what did she say that the Han Dynasty would die, the dragon and snake would rise together, and the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms would come soon......

Then, what was the Yellow Turban Uprising, what Guandu Chibi, what Dongwu Sidudu, the Five Tiger Generals, the Five Sons and the Good Generals, and the wife Cao and Da Qiao Xiaoqiao, etc., chattered and miscellaneously told the story for two months.

She even said that her brother named Gongsun Chan would become one of the few princes in the world when he was in his thirties, and he was also a giant in the early stage of the Three Kingdoms. These statements can be regarded as the self-inflicted son, and they were naturally ...... at that time Well, of course, there is no doubt about it.

The reason is very simple, for a teenager who has lost his father since childhood, who can he believe if he doesn't believe in his mother?

In fact, although Gongsun Xun's mother is usually a little jumpy, she is indeed very competent and powerful when she thinks about it.

Although she was only a widow with a child, and was initially rejected by the elders of the clan for 'killing' her husband, she was able to resist the pressure and set up a business on her own, buying a large estate for her family. Not only that, after making money, she also went around helping the clansmen, being kind and charitable, and even subsidizing many clansmen to run officialdom...... Now, she has long been a very respected elder in the clan.

In addition, she herself is also literate and literate, and personally enlightened Gongsun Xun, allowing him to read and write since he was a child, understand how to know and count, and even encouraged him to ride a horse and shoot arrows, dance and play with sticks and the like.

Let's ask, how could Gongsun Xun not believe the words that such a mother said when she faced the epidemic, which were almost like a will?

But later, on the one hand, it was Gongsun Xun's mother, known as Gongsun Auntie, who actually survived the countless plagues of dead people and was still alive. On the other hand, as Gongsun Xun grew up, he first went to Zhiyang Lecheng, Liaoxi County with the help of his deceased father's connections, and became a county official there, which can be regarded as a two-year career in officialdom, and then gradually promoted with the help of family power, his mother's money and his arithmetic ability, and now he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he has already achieved the rank of two hundred stone deputy historian of the comptroller's office (that is, the deputy chief in charge of statistics)......

And Gongsun Xun has a great future, but he can't help but question and evade his mother's statement...... I don't know if it's the 'adolescent rebellion' that my mother calls in her daily life.

However, just a few months ago, Gongsun Xun's questioning and evasion suddenly disappeared completely! Because, he really witnessed miracles.

This miracle is specifically his own brother Gongsun Zhan. That is, the one who has a very bad background and often needs help from his own family, and although he is handsome and has a big voice, he also has a big temper...... Uh, that 'giant warlord of Youzhou in the Three Kingdoms (Gongsun Xun's mother's original words)'.

It is said that half a year ago, Gongsun Zhan was hindered by his future, and finally went to the county and became a small official like himself...... The customs of this year, when the county guard recruits officials, he must choose the local clan, and the Gongsun clan is the largest clan in western Liaoning, basically the Lingzhi city in the five cities in western Liaoning is opened by the Gongsun family. Therefore, after the children of the Gongsun family tie their hair, if they want to enter the office, the door is always open, but the starting point is different because of their background.

And his clan brothers, Gongsun Zhan and Gongsun Bogui, his starting point is exactly the same as his self two years ago, he is basically a Shengdou official, the kind who is responsible for standing at the door to pass the word - in other words, he is not far from the deputy history of the Comptroller's Office now!

However, because of his handsome appearance and loud voice, his brother, who had lived in his own shop and slept with him before, was directly looked at by Hou Taishou, who had just come to this county, and recruited a son-in-law!

Why?!

I have been a clerk in this county for two years, and my official position is higher and younger, and I am also very tall and handsome, okay? In the words of his own mother, the tiger has a bee waist and a dignified appearance, and he will also be a famous tiger minister in the future! Why can't you take a fancy to yourself?

And when it comes to this kind of hard condition, is it okay to have the surname Gongsun? Even his own family is richer than Gongsun Zhan's family, I don't know how many times, if the county guard really promised his daughter to himself, he could take out hundreds of millions of dollars as a dowry!

It's really a huge billion, a million family assets, the kind that doesn't discount or brag!

You must know that the Amway founded by his own wife has been in business for nearly 20 years, and the Lingzhi City where the Gongsun clan in Liaoxi is located guards Lu Longsai, the key point connecting Hebei and Northeast China.

The so-called ginseng from North Korea, the horse from Liaodong, the maidservant of Sanhan, the manu from Wuhuan, the chestnut from Youbeiping, the grain silk from Hebei, and the iron ware from Qingzhou, in the words of his own mother, doing business in the Han Dynasty as a family is like picking up money!

You say 100 million money, how can you not make it up?!

In fact, how could Gongsun Xun, who had been a servant for two years, not know that this was the fundamental reason why his family's status in the clan was becoming more and more important - the God of Wealth of the entire Gongsun clan was here!

Of course, what Gongsun Xun didn't know was that the clan didn't think about snatching the business at the beginning, but when it came to doing business, it seemed that this person called Gongsun Aunt's widow a first-class good hand. The whole clan worked hard to do it, and the income was not as much as the profit shared by this Gongsun aunt.

So, about twelve or thirteen years ago, that is, when Gongsun Xun was still wearing his drooping hair, including the Liaoxi family, as well as the Gongsun clan of the Liaodong branch and the Donglai branch, reached an agreement together, and officially handed over the business to his mother to take care of it, and the clan distributed dividends proportionally. Since then, his family's status in the clan has become prominent.

But...... Therefore, when I came back to the present, Hou Junshou just didn't fall in love with my wealthy Gongsun Xun, but also fell in love with my loud brother Gongsun Zhan, which was exactly the same as what his mother said when she had a cold!

And what's even more terrifying is still to come, about ten days ago, his brother Sun Bogui, who had just gotten married under the sponsorship of his mother and was taken by the elders of the clan, was suddenly given a vacation by his father-in-law, Hou Taishou, and wrote a letter to him, asking him to go to Luoyang Throat Mountain to find Lu Zhi, a Confucian and famous minister in Youzhou, to learn the scriptures!

This is exactly the same as what his mother said back then, and Sun Xun couldn't help but feel chilled, and he didn't dare to believe those ghost stories!

In fact, now Gongsun Xun can still remember what his mother said to his face after calling him back to Lingzhi from the county a few days ago:

"You knew some things when the epidemic was great, and I didn't bother to hide them from you, now I know why the old lady didn't let you go to Qingzhou to find Zheng Xuan to learn scriptures, right?"

"Of course, the scriptures have to be learned, I can see it, this thing is the academic certificate of the Han Dynasty, if you don't learn this thing, you can't be a big official, you can't hide."

"Zheng Xuan is very powerful, of course I know that he is in the same family as Lu Zhi, but his reputation in scripture is higher."

"It's not me bragging, with your mother and my business, as early as three years ago, when you just tied your hair, you were able to find dozens of wealthy families who were directly related to Zheng Xuan in Qingzhou and recommended you as a disciple, why didn't you let you learn?"

"It's very simple, going to college depends not only on the faculty, but also on the classmates, with Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei as classmates, do you know how many connections they have? There are not many top potential stocks in the Three Kingdoms, there are only two in Youzhou, one in the early stage and one in the later stage, and the old lady has prepared it for you now! ”

Then, his wife really prepared several truckloads of goods for herself, and there were even high-end goods such as Shu brocade and pearls, so that she personally escorted dozens of guests to the county town to bribe Hou Taishou, so that she could also follow the clan brother Gongsun Zhan, who had already packed up, to 'take a job for further study', and go to Luoyang Throat Mountain to follow the great Confucian Lu Zhi to learn the scriptures.

And then?

And then I was trapped in this Luronceli!

The Xianbei dog, if he doesn't come early or late, he came to Koubian at this time, but he was going to give gifts and bribes before the year! I'm going to Luoyang to learn the scriptures! And I'm going to meet the legendary Liu Da Ear!

Moreover, my own wife has taken out her heart to help her design her future this time - after coming back from studying, you can plan a 300-stone planner, and then go to Luoyang with the triennial system of the plan, and get a three-way Lang as a pawn, as long as you can make a three-bureau lang, you will be a 600-stone court official, and then you can go straight to 2,000 stones!

Later, how did the Three Kingdoms troubled times keep the surname and not mention, the upper officials, the three ministers, six hundred stones, and two thousand stones...... These are things that I, who has already tasted power, would like to try.

A manly man, born in this world, if he doesn't be a 2,000 stone and the lord of a county, wouldn't he live in vain?!

However, at this critical moment, he was blocked by this group of Xianbei dogs in Lulongseli, and he didn't move for six days! What if I wait until the New Year, and I don't have time to catch up with the hitchhiker of my brother Gongsun Zhan? Although the money silk is very useful, it may not really be able to buy the face of two two thousand stone masters...... What if the time comes to miss the opportunity, and the county guard is not willing to write a letter of introduction? Or I wrote it, and I rushed over again, Lu Zhi shook his hand and said that this batch of students is full, what if I don't accept it?

So, Xianbei dog! You want to ruin your future?!

"Brother?" Just when Gongsun Xun was thinking about complaining, the door was suddenly opened, and a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes swept into the house with a cold wind.

"Ah Yue." Gongsun Xun came back to his senses at this time. "Didn't you observe the enemy camp with our clan uncle on the city tower, why did you come here at this time?"

"There's someone." Gongsun Yue, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, sat down slightly excitedly. "The person you asked me about before, brother, happened to be seen by me."

"Who?" These words are clueless, and Gongsun Xun is naturally confused.

"Han Dang Han Yigong!" Gongsun Yue hurriedly responded. "It's the one I told you last year, let's make the best bow horse in the city, and the Han Yigong who is recognized as the best in the township. As soon as I said that, you let me keep an eye on it for you. When you came back this time, I wanted to bring him to you, but I couldn't find it...... Unexpectedly, he met in this Lu Longse, and it turned out to be a horseman. ”

"Han Dang, Han Yigong." Gongsun Xun thought for a moment, and then suddenly got up. "Han Dang Han Yigong?!"

"yes." Gongsun Yue nodded. "Sure enough, it's the person my brother is looking for, right?"

"You wait." Gongsun Xun walked around and shook his head again and again. Han Dang...... Han Yigong! The name and character are right, and I think it may be this person. But shouldn't this person be from Jiangdong? This is the minions of the Jiangdong Tigers. How can it be that I am from Liaoxi, listen to you, and still be a fellow townsman with us?! ”

"Yes," Gongsun Yue nodded calmly. "It's our Lingzhi people, where is Jiangdong? What else is the Jiangdong Tiger, isn't my brother dreaming? ”

Gongsun Xun was stunned and speechless - the appearance of this person can be regarded as whether his mother's prophecy was right or wrong? Or is it just a coincidence?

Strive to reach the princes, in order to save their lives in troubled times...... The wheel of history is really coming!
