Chapter 18 Stockpiling food and waiting for war, use swords and guns
Seven times around and eight times, Liu Wei rode a sedan chair, Rao Wen walked in front, Huang Zhong escorted the left and right, walking on the night road outside Luoyang City. Although Cao Cao killed a chicken and frightened the monkey, Cao Cao was soon transferred to Ren Dunqiu by the operation of the Ming Sheng and the secret descendant. In the first year of Guanghe (178), because of his involvement, he was dismissed from his official position and returned to his hometown of Qiaoxian (now Bozhou) to live idlely.
Although Liu Biao also encountered the officers and soldiers patrolling after the curfew, he obediently let him go as soon as he flashed the token, although Liu Bian enjoyed such convenience, but he couldn't help but feel the sincerity of the young Cao Cao.
In a small remote courtyard next to Luoshui, next to this is a Yizhuang in Luoyang City, there are a lot more corpses in Yizhuang recently than before, and the surrounding residents have long avoided suspicion and moved far away, but the house here has been bought.
Liu Wei pushed open one of the inconspicuous courtyards, ordered Rao Wen to stay outside, and let Huang Zhong follow him into it.
Liu Wei stepped into the house, there was nothing, Liu Wei instructed Huang Zhong to open the mechanism under the stone bed on the ground, and an empty and secluded secret passage was displayed in front of the two.
"What is this?" Huang Zhong said with some doubts.
"Hansheng will know if he goes down and sees."
The empty space below was almost the size of two basketball courts, and Huang Zhong lit the lampstand on the wall with flint and looked at the scene inside with great shock.
The food stomping inside is stacked there, filling this dark room to the brim.
"Last year, the debate started this plan." Liu Wei looked at the stunned Huang Zhong proudly.
What is the value of troubled times? Gold? Armor? Site? Neither, but food! Those who have food in troubled times are the ones who have the initiative.
In troubled times, food is the hard currency to exchange everything, as long as you can eat enough, you don't have to worry about no one fighting for you.
When Cao Cao started, he promised to feed the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, did not hesitate to attack Xuzhou, and even used human flesh to fill the grain, so he had the famous "Qingzhou soldiers"! It's because he has no food, so he fights passively, and he can't afford to consume Lu Bu in Yanzhou or Yuan Shao in Guandu.
At the beginning of the Fengyun era, one of the most important features was that the price of grain began to rise sharply, and with Liu Bian's financial resources, it was impossible to collect grain in Luoyang, so Liu Bian set his sights on Jingzhou, which was relatively close and relatively less affected.
"There are still ten such grain storage lands. But it's not enough......"
Next, God did not calm his anger, but the weather will be more strange and changeable, natural disasters are still continuous, countless refugees will flee and gather, and the biggest goal is Guanzhong, if the emperor Lao Tzu can not provide disaster relief, there is no food against his mother, this is the fine tradition of the Chinese nation.
"Hansheng, the famine of the Han Dynasty, this bit of food is still far from enough...... "Grain is not something that can be stored for too long, and there is no very effective means of grain storage now, and the old grain cannot be eaten after too long, although Liu Wei has been vigorously purchasing grain, but he has also set up a few porridge sheds outside the city to argue that he needs your help, and he knows that if the Huang family helps, the grain collection in Jingzhou can be safe."
"Your Highness, but the Nanyang Huang family is really a small family......" Huang Zhong was a little embarrassed.
"Hahaha!" Liu Wei really felt that Huang Zhong was a little cute, "What about the Jiangxia Huang family?" ”
The Huang clan can be described as flourishing in Jingzhou, only in the late Han Dynasty, there was a Tai Lieutenant, a Five Tiger General, a famous man, a partial general, and a warlord Taishou. They are all high-ranking officials of 2,000 stones! Nanyang Huang's Huang Zhong and Huang Gai are Lingling Huang's, Huang Wan, and Huang Zu are Jiangxia Lu'an Huang's and Huang Chengyan's Nanhuang Clan, and Nanyang Huang's and Lingling Huang's are actually close relatives or descendants of Jiangxia Lu'an Huang's family.
Nowadays, the most famous Huang family is Jiangxia An Lu Huang, fifty years ago, the Beijing master sang: "The world is unparalleled, Jiangxia Huangxiang!" ”
Huang Xiang was a celebrity who shook the world fifty years ago, even if it was written in the "Selected Twenty-four Filial Piety Poems of the Whole Phase": The winter moon is warm, the hot day is cool, and the children know their children's jobs, and there is a yellow fragrance through the ages.
There is also in the "Three Character Classic": incense nine ling, can warm the seat. Filial piety to relatives, what should be done.
When Huang Xiang was young, his mother died early, and he and his father depended on each other, he knew how to learn, and in the hot summer, he used a fan to fan the mat to let his father sleep. In winter, he first got into the quilt to warm up the quilt and let his father sleep. This story also derives a special idiom "fan pillow warm jacket".
As mentioned earlier, the Han Dynasty ruled the world with "filial piety", and soon Huang Xiang was recruited as an official, and was appreciated by Emperor Zhang and the Second Emperor, because he was proficient in moral scholarship and wrote good articles. Therefore, he is known as the unparalleled person in the world.
Tao Yuanming, Du Mu, Lu Xun and other works all take Huang Xiang as an example.
Because of Huang Xiang's reputation, his son Huang Qiongguan became a lieutenant. Feng Yi Xianghou. Although Huang Wan, the great-grandson of his descendants, was imprisoned for nearly 20 years because of the "disaster of the party", and was recently unsealed and became a petty official like Yixun, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Huang family still has great influence in Jiangxia and Jingzhou. Even in the warlord melee, although Huang Zu superficially surrendered to Liu Biao, he was actually a warlord on one side until he was attacked and killed by Sun Quan.
"Tomorrow, Hansheng will go to see Huang Yixun."
"This ......" Huang Zhong is actually in the same vein as Huang Xiang and is already a distant relative. Moreover, he is just a small guard now, and he can return to his hometown if he is rich and rich, but if he is poor and despised, it is okay, Huang Zhong's main concern is Liu Wei's task.
The Lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the Lord is humiliated by the death of the ministers.
"Tomorrow, after getting the will of my father, let my chariot take you there!" Liu Wei's words are extremely domineering, either cooperate obediently, or press, and also press you to cooperate! This is the power of imperial power. Huang Wan will be an old fox who will become a captain in the future, and he knows what to do.
"No......"
Duanfu.
In the hall of the guest room, a young man kneeling, dressed in plain clothes, handsome and mighty, with a look that makes people sigh when they meet, they can't help but sigh at a heroic talent.
This person's surname is Yuan, his name is Shao, and his character is at the beginning. The top gate lord aristocrat in the late Han Dynasty, the third duke of the fourth dynasty, his biological father Yuan Feng was the top three dukes of the Han Dynasty (Taiwei, Situ, Sikong) Sikong, and his uncle Yuan Kui was also the third duke of Situ. Such a top-notch family can be said to have glory and status at your fingertips! However, everything is afraid of a but. Although Yuan Shao is the eldest son, he is a concubine, in order to make way for his younger brother Yuan Shu, the eldest son of the righteous grandson, and the heir of the family, Yuan Shao was passed to the childless Yuan Cheng early. Soon after the death of his mother and father, Yuan Shao began to refuse the imperial court's conquest. Secluded in Luoyang.
Yuan Shu has been released as an official, and Yuan Shao often represents the Yuan family in Beijing, even Duan Xi does not dare to save the face of the Yuan family.
Duan Xi sat down tiredly with the support of his wife, waved his hand and returned to Yuan Shao's salute: "Ciyang (Yuan Kui) also sent Ben Chu to the old man's house late at night, there must be something urgent, let's talk about it......" Duan Xi knew that Yuan Kui admired his nephew very much, so he asked.
Yuan Shao respectfully bowed: "It's not my uncle's business, it's what I asked for in the beginning." ”
"Oh?" Duan Xi cheered up a little and looked at this young man who was praised by the world with some curiosity. Duan Xi and the family were not on the right path, and Yuan Shao would ask him for something, which also made him curious.
"Yuan Shao has been yearning for the battlefield since he was a child, and the man immediately took fame. Knowing that Duan Gong was going to take up the post of merging the state, he also asked Duan Gong to take him in and take Yuan Shao to the state together. ”
Duan Xi was a little dumbfounded, didn't the people in the palace keep their mouths open? In the afternoon, the emperor only talked to himself about good things, and in the evening it was well known?
Duan Xi pondered for a moment, he didn't know whether this matter was the so-called Yuan Shao's own will or the meaning of the Yuan family! Since Duan Xi won consecutive battles outside, many aristocratic bureaucrats wanted to take Duan Xi's car. To put it bluntly, they just want to make soy sauce and mix up military merits. No one can refuse a general who can fight, let alone win the whole battle! There will be no shortage of Yuan Shao. It's just that Yuan Shao is well-informed, and he is the first to come.
Duan Xi shook his head and said: "Originally, I wanted to serve the country, and the old man was also pleased, but how could I teach each other about national affairs privately, the old man was not a strong man, only the Son of Heaven allowed it, and the old man should welcome the original." ”
Yuan Shao was a little disappointed in his eyes, although Yuan Shao claimed to be a recluse, and on the surface he did not communicate with guests, but in fact, he secretly befriended party members and chivalrous people, such as Zhang Miao, He Hao, Xu You and others. Zhang Miao is a well-known party member and one of the "Eight Chefs". He Hao was also a member of the party, and had a close relationship with the party leaders Chen Fan and Li Ying (both of whom were one of the three jun), and often entered Luoyang privately several times a year to discuss countermeasures with Yuan Shao and help the party members take refuge in the disaster of the party.
Xu You was also an active participant in the struggle against eunuchs. Among Yuan Shao's close friends was Cao Cao, who formed a political group aimed at opposing the dictatorship of eunuchs. Yuan Shao's activities attracted the attention of the eunuchs, and Zhao Zhong, the chief attendant, warned indignantly: "Yuan Benchu raised his value, and he should not be summoned by the imperial court to raise outlaws, what does he want to do!" ”
Now that Wang Fu is dead, the eunuchs are unmoving, and the family and the party are very proud, but they don't know that a catastrophe is coming. Jingzhong must be another major reshuffle. Yuan Shao smelled danger. He has already offended Zhao Zhong, but he is in Luoyang in vain, although he has a good reputation, even if he has the protection of the Yuan family, but the one who kills must be a bird!
The world is in turmoil, and only military power can retain itself. Only then did Yuan Shao set his sights on Duan Xi, who was immortal.
"Thank you Duan Gong for the reminder, if you can go with the army, please ask Duan Gong to help me a lot."
Duan Xi touched his beard and snorted: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say......"
After that, Yuan Shao tried many times, but Duan Xi beat him like a pusher, and said that he just didn't give Yuan Shao any room to plead. Yuan Shao returned disappointed.
Yuan Shao walked out of the gate of Duanfu with a small face and repeatedly retreated, looking at the starry sky of the bright moon, he could no longer hide the depression in his heart and sighed, he felt like a dragon was bound by iron chains, he had a skill, but there was nowhere to show it. There is no way to break free.
The guards and servants of the house greeted them, and the leader asked, "My lord, what should I do next?" ”
Yuan Shao patted the big man named Yan Liang, and the smile on his face was a little stiff: "Gongji, we may not be able to go to Bingzhou." ”
Yan Liang bowed and said: "No matter where the lord goes, our brother will definitely follow!" ”
"Alas......" Yuan Shao got into the carriage and lifted a small slit after a while. Ordered, from today onwards, I, Yuan Benchu, will concentrate on closing my studies, and I will not see anyone except my family. ”
The emperor can put a top family in charge of military power? Joke! Liu Hong is not old and confused......
Add more words, don't make it short and small, Ouye ~ red and red in a trance haha......
