Chapter Forty-Nine: Yingchuan Qunxian
Liu Zhang was very strange, ordered someone to hold the two people, and when he asked, he knew that when Sun Jian, who had been passing through Nanyang for two days, he borrowed grain from Nanyang Taishou Zhang Shi and was refused. Sun Jian was already angry in Xiangyang, where could he bear it at this time, with a wave of the long sword, the army would attack the city, break the city and behead Zhang in front of the battle, and loot the treasury and big households in the city, making the people of Nanyang complain. When the people found out that another army of soldiers and horses had come outside the city, they began to flee without thinking about it!
Liu Zhang sighed secretly: "I didn't expect to save Wang Rui, but I didn't save Zhang Zhi, it seems that some things are doomed!" He immediately ordered the officials to go to the city to appease the people, saying that his army was an official army of the Han Dynasty, and this time he went north only to crusade against the rebellion, not to hurt the people, so that the people could go home and rebuild their homes with peace of mind. The army passed around the city from afar, heading towards Yingyin.
A few days later, the army arrived in Yingyin. In order to show respect, Liu Zhang ordered the army to camp twenty miles outside the city, and after a bath, he led Xun You and several others to Xun Yu.
Liu Zhang didn't know that two months ago, Xun Yu's mansion was full of guests and friends, and there was a heated debate. Now, let's take a look at what was going on.
Guo Jia, who was sickly, thin, and very carefree, drank the hot wine in the cup and said, "Wen Ruo, I want to go to Yuan Shao's place, why do you want to dissuade me?"
Xun Yu: "Feng Xiao should know that not long after the death of the first emperor, he slaughtered and used the sword soldiers in vain with the ten permanent servants, so that Luoyang was in chaos. Then He Tu is a generation of slaughtering pigs and dogs, how can he sit in the position of a general in the rear, and his talent is not busy, and he actually led Dong Zhuo of Xiliang into Beijing, and wanted to use the Xiliang army to quell the rebellion in Luoyang, don't you know that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to collect luxury into thrift, that Dong Zhuo is an insatiable person, and he has entered a prosperous place such as Luoyang, how can he be willing to leave and return to Xiliang, where the wind and sand are raging and the land is barren, to continue to suffer from the wind and sun? He Jin had no plan, and he would just die, but it was a pity that hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang fell into the clutches of Dong Zhuo, living day and night in the water and fire. Dong Zhuo made inches of progress, and even ignored the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the Han Dynasty, deceived the sky and abolished the emperor, and even cruelly ordered the dove to kill the young emperor, Empress He and Concubine Tang, and then vainly claimed to be Xiangguo, praised and worshipped the nameless, did not enter the court, went to the palace with a sword, and stayed in the palace at night, his crimes can be described as innumerable! β
Guo Jia said: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people have been displaced and precarious, and the princes around the country have supported their own troops, and the king's life is difficult to do, and it has gradually become a trend of separation. Dong Zhuo's move is not to push the already stormy Han Dynasty into civil strife, you and I read the sages at a young age, since the will of the sages, turn the tide in the fall, save the people from fire and water, and return the Han family to a bright future. β
The elder Xi Zhicai said: "In the past two years, I have traveled to the places where the yellow turban thieves such as Qing, Yan, and Yi are wreaking, and what I have seen and heard is simply appalling. Although several years have passed, there is still little life, and the land that was once rich is now almost barren, and the population is not one in ten. Especially in Qingzhou, the difficulty of the yellow turban has passed for several years, but Qingzhou is still difficult to see people, the fields are completely deserted, and the fields and valleys between the fields can be seen everywhere with white bones. When I met one or two people, they were all as weak as firewood, poorly clothed, and their eyes were dull. There was nothing to eat for three meals, and the people who could not eat had to eat only grass roots, tree bark, and even white soil for food. The cruel and vicious people slaughtered the people for food, if it weren't for my alertness, I would have been a dead soul under the knife and cooked meat in the ding. β
Guo Jia said: "The yellow turban is a disaster, Dong is a disaster, and the great country has been made into a miasma, wind and rain!" Zhang Jiao, Dong Zhuo and others are indeed punished by everyone, and my generation is a Han people, and he has taken the lead and punished the national thieves! Now Cao Cao, the captain of the Xiao Cavalry, has a secret decree and orders the heroes of the world to join the alliance to ask for Dong, thinking that Yuan Shao has the name of the four clans and the three dukes, and he must be ordered to send troops to fight Dong, I have the heart to invite Wen Ruo to go to Yuan Shao to assist him, why didn't Wen Ruo allow it? β
Guo Tu, who is not tall, said: "In the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, the princes attacked and annexed, and the soldiers did not breathe for hundreds of years. Now the Han Dynasty has hidden the image of the Zhou Dynasty, Feng Xiao has the ambition of the world, and wants to take advantage of the advantages of the Yuan family, the four generations and the three dukes, the protΓ©gΓ©s and the former officials all over the court and the opposition, and the prestige of the two to help it stop the disputes, so that the Han Dynasty will not make the same mistake as the Zhou, this 10,000 catties of heavy burden is willing to bear the filial piety, which is really admirable! β
Xun Yu: "I also admire the ambition of filial piety, but when Han Xin voted for Chu, Chu Xiang did not know anyone, he was unwilling to reuse, and he was depressed. Afterwards, he switched to Gaozu, and finally soared to the sky, the official to the king of Qi, no matter what the outcome was, he always helped Gaozu to calm the world, and created the Han Dynasty, so far it has been more than 400 years, and he was called one of the three heroes of Hanxing by Gaozu. Although Yuan Shao has a good name, he is actually just the ear of Chu Xiang's generation, he is indecisive and unkind, and it may be difficult to achieve great things by voting for him. β
Xu You, who was playing with Wen Yu in his hand, said: "If Wen Ruo's words are wrong, you met Yuan Benchu in his early years, his people have lofty ambitions, extraordinary talents, and can be courteous and virtuous corporals, he is a rare good master!" β
Guo Jia: "Ziyuan's words are reasonable, the so-called hearing is false, and seeing is believing." We and Yuan Shao are not masked, and it is a bit arbitrary to make a conclusion early. It's better to go to the place first, if you look at it and can support the big thing, I will wait for the casual clothes, if not, I will wait and then leave and cast Mingjun is not too late. β
Chen Qun, who had a long beard and a chest-length beard, said: "If it is as Feng Xiao said, if Yuan Shao is difficult to achieve great things, wouldn't it be a waste of time for me to run back and forth?" Don't live in life, but only for decades. Why should we waste precious time for someone who is difficult to achieve great things? β
Xun Yu: "Exactly. β
Guo Jia: "Isn't it a waste of time for me to sit here and wait for empty talk?" β
Xun Yu: "Otherwise, I'll wait here for a while, and the master will come!" β
Guo Jia: "Wen Ruofei still knows how to ask questions?" β
Xun Yu: "Definitely! β
Guo Jia: "In this case, why can we not predict the prophet and say that the Lord is coming?" β
Xun Yu: "It's just that this person came not long ago, but he didn't return from his filial piety study tour at that time, and he never saw it!"
Guo Jia: "Who is this person?" If you can value it, it must be extraordinary! β
Xun Yu: "This person is Liu Zhang, the fifth son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the queen of King Lu Gong, and the son of Liu Yan of Yizhou Mu."
Guo Jia: "Liu Yan's name has been heard, but Jiaguan is just an old man who holds the success, such as in the peaceful years, this person is the talent of the three princes, but it is difficult to have a foothold in the troubled times." Since Liu Zhang is his son, I am afraid that he will be deeply affected by him, and it will be difficult for him to become a big thing!"
Guo Jia is really smart, and he can feel Liu Yan's personality only by hearing about it, and he can judge Liu Zhang's character almost clearly from Liu Yan. The historical Liu Yan father and son confirmed that they only wanted to keep their own one-third of an acre, and after gaining a firm foothold in Yizhou, they cut off contact with the outside world, closed themselves, and became the soil emperor of Yizhou in peace. In the end, because of Zhang Lu's threat, he had to ask Liu Bei to enter Yizhou to help him defend against the enemy. It's just that today's Liu Zhang is no longer the Liu Zhang in history, now he has the ambition of being a king, and he will never sit in Yizhou, Guo Jia miscalculated this time.
