Chapter 34: The Rise and Fall of the World
Then, Liu Zhang thought of promising to buy grain and grass for Zhou Cang and others, so Xun Yu said, Xun Yu naturally agreed, although he was far away from the center of the Xun family and devoted himself to studying, but as the most famous person among the sages of the Xun family, his position in the Xun family is very important, with him coming forward, plus Xun Yu is on the side, it is not easy to persuade Xun to buy some grain and grass for Liu Zhang?
Liu Zhang thought that once he brought the Yizhou army to Luoyang, there would be thousands of rivers and mountains on the way, and it would be inconvenient to transport grain and grass, so don't think about Sun Jian, who was stuck in the neck by Yuan Shu's second stunned man, so he asked Xun Yu again to come forward and let Xun gather a large amount of grain and grass for him, and when he came to Yingchuan again, he would definitely pay off all the funds. Although the funds are temporarily owed on credit, but there are countless sages of the Xun family, these people all expect that the world will be in chaos in the near future, even if Liu Zhang misses the appointment, but the swords and soldiers together, grain and grass are even more important than soldiers and horses, no matter how much Tun is not afraid of not being able to sell, Xun Yu agreed without thinking about it.
Liu Zhang was overjoyed, when the time came, he had a lot of grain and grass, not only did his army not have to worry about not having enough to eat, but he could even use grain and grass to make friends with princes from all walks of life, but he knew that it was not only Sun Jian who was short of grain and grass when he was begging for weight in history, but also Gongsun Zan and others, if he could send charcoal in the snow, wouldn't he be able to gain their favor and friendship? Although this kind of friendship is not worth a penny in troubled times, but they occupy the moral high ground, and if they ask them for a favor or something, they are not easy to refuse, right?
On this day, Liu Zhang spent his time on Xun Yu, the four of them talked in the hall for a whole day, with nearly two thousand years of recognition far beyond the people of this era, Xun Yu admired Liu Zhang very much, and even had the intention of immediately recognizing the master, but when he thought of the gambling contract, he gave up, but he was not worried at all, I believe that with Liu Zhang's eloquence, courage and determination, it is absolutely safe to bring some soldiers and horses out of Yizhou, and it will be a matter of course. Or take advantage of this time to recruit more talents for him, and he began to silently recite the names of his friends and classmates.
Liu Zhang didn't know that Xun Yu had begun to think about his career, he only knew that he was very happy, very happy, he used to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and what he admired most was not Zhuge Liang, who was as wise as a demon, not Zhou Yu, who was as beautiful as Zhou Lang, not Sima Yi, who laid the foundation of the Jin Dynasty, and not Guan Yu, a martial saint who was blown out of later generations...... But Xun Yu, he put forward the "deep roots to control the world", "welcome the Son of Heaven" and other strategies, for Cao Wei's excavation of the immortal merit, he held the weight for more than ten years, dealing with military affairs, the official to the servant, Shang Shuling, long live the pavilion marquis, can be said to be honored, but he has always been concerned about the Han family, openly opposed Cao Cao called the Duke of Wei and was jealous of Cao Cao, was forced to commit suicide. After his death, Cao Cao posthumously honored him, which shows his respect for him. If these things Liu Zhang saw from the history books and stories were enough to make him awe-inspired, then now that he has communicated with Xun Yu face-to-face, he can only use the five-body body to show his respect for him, whether it is talent or morality, he feels that no one in this era can surpass Xun Yu.
Liu Zhang and his entourage stayed in Yingyin for three days, originally he also wanted to visit Guo Jia, who is known as a ghost talent, and Xi Zhicai and other Yingchuan princes, but unfortunately listened to Xun Yu said, the two went out to study, and the return route is unknown, but Xun Yu said that if the sons return between Liu Zhang's return and return, they will try their best to stay, as for whether they can be recruited, it depends on Liu Zhang's own ability. Liu Zhang was overjoyed, believing that Xun Yu was a lobbyist for him, even if Zhuzi would not immediately serve him, he would not miss Zhuzi on his way back and forth, so that he would serve others.
Then, Liu Zhang, accompanied by Xun You and Xun Yu, visited the people of the Xun family in Yingyin, most of the Xun family expressed their admiration for it, but there was no intention of putting it into effect, the Xun family is huge, there are too many things to consider, the situation in the world is not clear at this time, if you take the risk of letting the family take Liu Zhang's chariot, in case Liu Zhang is defeated, it is not a huge disaster for the Xun family, so the Xun family has to be cautious about this matter, lest it accidentally bring disaster to the family. In fact, in history, the Xun family did not end up with a certain party as a family, but let Xun Yu and others serve the princes in their personal capacity. Even so, Xun was still not at ease, and finally decided not to put the eggs in one basket, Xun Yu and Xun Yu voted for Cao Cao, and Xun Chen voted for Yuan Shao, who was famous in the world at that time, and the three of them were confidants in the Cao Yuan Group. So if he wants the Xun family to fall to himself in an all-round way, Liu Zhang does not have such extravagant hopes, and he is overjoyed to have Xun Yu and Xun You. "To be a man, you have to learn to be content and happy, if you have Longwangshu, your desires will never be satisfied, and you will never be happy!" Liu Zhang comforted himself inside.
Liu Zhang, who left Yingyin, crossed Yuzhou and entered the land of Jingchu.
The Yujing area was very seriously affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion back then, and it is not too much to say that it is ten rooms and nine emptiness. The Yellow Turban has long been exterminated, but a large number of people who have been plagued by thieves have lost everything, and they have been bewitched by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Most of these bandits gathered at the junction of the two states, so that the assassins of Jing and Henan pushed each other's committees, and no one was willing to send troops to suppress them. In addition to paying heavy taxes, they also had to pay grain and grass to the bandits in exchange for the safety of their families, and the people worked hard for a year, and the income was not even enough to pay all kinds of harsh taxes, so they had to flee with their families, and the people who had nothing left their homes, and the result was undoubtedly very tragic, and many people died of hunger and cold on the way to survive. Originally, several years had passed since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world was still stable, and vitality should be slowly restored, but there were few people as far as the eye could see, and the land was barren as far as the eye could see.
The sound of horses' hooves slowly appeared in the distance, and the horses' hooves and wheels creaked over the knee-high autumn grass that began to turn yellow.
"Qinshan is shattered, and Jing Wei is unattainable. Looking down but in one breath, how can you argue Huangzhou! On the carriage in advance, a weak-crowned young man stood at the front of the carriage, looking at the desolate scene and sighing.
Next to the boy is a strong man with five big and three thick, he heard what the boy said word for word, for the meaning, sorry, I don't know anything! He didn't ask questions, and drove the carriage intentlyβthe official road was in disrepair, potholes were everywhere, and some were covered by weeds, and if you didn't pay attention, it would be dangerous. Along the way, although he has been driving the carriage carefully, accidents still happen from time to time, but fortunately, the speed of the car is not fast, and everyone in the car is quite brave, but he has not been injured, and of course bumps and bumps are inevitable.
The person with a handsome face lifted the curtain and stroked his palms and said: "That's right, the yellow scarf is a disaster, so that the people's families are ruined, and the displaced people are countless. β
Another person in the carriage said: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." Since our generation is in this troubled era, it is our duty to rejuvenate the country and save the people! β
The young man sighed: "I only hate that I can only sit back and watch the people starve and cold, and there is nothing to be done." β
The handsome man said: "Son, please be relieved, the situation of the people cannot be solved in a moment, but as long as we work together, one day the Han Dynasty will be restored to its former glory!" β
"I don't know how long this time will be, and how many people will die of hunger and cold during this period! Alas, I had no choice but to do my best and obey the fate of God! β
The five big and three rough men wiped a handful of sweat and said: "Childe, let it go in advance to save the people from fire and water, you better get into the carriage quickly, this broken road is full of pits, in case you fall down, who will complete the great cause of rejuvenation!" β
The young man patted Dahan on the shoulder and said, "Well, Zhongkang has worked hard!" β
The man named Zhongkang smiled and said: "What is this, it is Mr. Gongda who is working hard, look back, what Mr. Gongda has become!" β
The handsome man said: "Zhongkang, you better watch the carriage carefully, I'm very good!" β
The young man looked at the handsome man and said secretly: "This broken carriage can only kneel and sit, do you want to kneel all the way to Yizhou?" That knee has to be wasted! If I knew that I wouldn't change the carriage, riding a horse would be less sinful than riding a car! Alas, sooner or later I'll have to get a car or something! β
