232 Hongmen Banquet
"The plan of the day lies in the morning, and the plan of the year lies in the spring. Now it is early spring, and in another month, it is the time of spring ploughing. Li Gong, can you teach me? While riding a horse, checking the preparations for spring ploughing in Zhuo County, Liu Bei asked Li Min.
This Li Min is a native of Liaodong in Youzhou, and he has also served as the Taishou of Hanoi, so it can be said that he has both insight and understanding of Youzhou's internal affairs. And there is also a good book, Li Min's whole family was cut down by Gongsun Du, and now he has no other thoughts than revenge, and Liu Bei is now his only hope for revenge. Therefore, when Li Min spoke, he didn't hide anything at all, anyway, his whole family was dead, as long as he could kill Gongsun Du to take revenge, he didn't care about the rest.
"Ming Gong ......" Li Min is old, old, and has no desires, and he doesn't talk about those hidden things, but just says: "On the surface, this conflict between General Gongsun and Liu Gong is incompatible with each other. In fact, this was a conflict between the warriors of the border county and the scholars of the Central Plains. ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Liu Bei then asked shamelessly. In fact, he understands it somewhat, but he doesn't see it as clearly as people in this era.
"What else can there be, it's nothing more than that the Central Plains scholars look down on the border county warriors. And the grandson of the white horse is a vigorous person, so naturally there is a conflict. Li Min smiled bitterly and continued.
"Hehe......" Liu Bei smiled, the Central Plains scholars looked down on the warriors of the border counties, and this matter was not a day or two.
If you think about it carefully, this conflict at the end of the Han Dynasty seems to be this routine.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Tao Qian are all scholars. Although later generations paid more attention to the identity of Liu Yu's Han clan relatives, in the late Han Dynasty, in fact, the identity of other scholars was the main label.
Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Lu Bu and others are actually all border county warriors. At the beginning, Lu Bu was close to Liu Beitao, saying that we are all border people, this is not about fellow villagers, a sensitive person and a fellow villager recognized by Hebei people, Lu Bu is actually talking about background, or class. In history, Liu Bei's reaction was displeasure in his heart, probably because Uncle Liu Huang thought that he was the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, and after King Jing of Zhongshan, he was a member of the royal family with a red Miaozheng, how did he become a warrior in the border area. Liu Bei in history, but he completely moved himself closer to the scholars.
This dispute between scholars and warriors ended with the establishment of the Jin Dynasty by the Sima family, which ended with a great victory for scholars, and then ...... The scholars were driven south of the Yangtze River.
And Liu Bei's solution to this conflict is to accommodate the scholars into the military merit system and directly give high positions, while ordinary soldiers and generals have to fight step by step.
In this way, a large number of scholars were actually bought.
According to the rules of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous people of the family only had a high political status, but the family was generally poor, while the Haoqiang family was rich, but had no political status, so he could only be a local official.
How poor are the famous people of the world, many famous people, and even have to go to the land themselves. According to some historians, these people are because of their own moral standards to suppress their own idea of annexing land, in fact, this is a few, the real reason is that the most important wealth of these celebrities is fame, the so-called everyone does not accumulate wealth, this is one by one. Liu Bei directly gave these people high positions and land wealth, so he was naturally able to buy many scholars and come to take refuge. These scholars, since they have joined Liu Bei's military merit system, naturally have to maintain this system.
As the day in Liu Bei's article approached, all forces came to Zhuojun to make an appointment. It seems that Liu Bei's face is still big enough, oh, mainly even if you don't look at Liu Bei's face, you have to look at the face of Liu Bei's 50,000 horses, and look at the face of millions of people in Qingzhou and Jizhou behind him.
Youzhou's famous clans are all present.
Even, Tian Chou, who lived in seclusion in Xu Wushan, came to participate in this alliance that was said to be able to return peace to Youzhou.
Tian Chou, the right Beiping has no end people, the word Zitai, both civil and military.
When Liu Yu died, Tian Chou was sending the watch seal to the Son of Heaven for Liu Yu, and when he came back, Liu Yu was dead, so he had to go to the tomb to pay respects and incinerate the watch seal he brought back. When Gongsun Chan heard about it, he arrested Tian Chou, asked him why he didn't give him the seal, and threatened to kill him.
Tian Chou replied: "Now the world is in chaos, everyone has different intentions, but Liu Yu is not loyal, and the content of the correspondence between him and the emperor, I guess you won't like it, so I didn't give it to you." Besides, general, you are the one who wants to do great things, and now you are not only destroying the innocent king, but also hating the righteous ministers, if the strong men in the land of Yan Zhao heard about it, they would rather go to the East China Sea to commit collective suicide than follow you, I hope you will think twice. ”
Gongsun Chan was going to kill him, but after hearing this, he changed his mind and arrested Tian Chou.
However, someone soon pointed out that people like Tian Chou, you can either simply kill them, or treat them politely as guests, and now they are locked up like this, and they can't get any benefit except being scolded by others. Gongsun Chan thought it was reasonable, he didn't want to be scolded, and there was no reason to kill Tian Chou, so he had to release Tian Chou.
Since then, Tian Chou has fled into Xu Wushan with hundreds of people of his own clan, and he has cultivated fields, recuperated, and resettled displaced people, and in just a few years, it has developed to more than 5,000 households. He personally set the law, ran the school, and governed the rituals, and the villagers did not leave any stone unbroken and orderly.
Many years later, the great writer Tao Yuanming, based on Tian Chou's story, wrote the popular famous article "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring"!
In addition to Tian Chou, Liu Bei's other surprise was that he met Gao Shun. Gao Shun is a native of the Gao clan in Bohai, who was recruited by Zhang Fei and led hundreds of clansmen, and now he is a Sima in the army. This person doesn't drink alcohol, although I don't know if he is innocent and majestic, but he is a standard soldier all day long, and it is likely that he is Gao Shun, the leader of the trap camp in history.
The Bohai Gao clan is not a famous family now, they made their fortunes later. Now it seems that Gao Shun's loyalty, on the one hand, is due to nature, and on the other hand, he is afraid that it is also for the family's reputation. In any case, it is always a good thing that Gao Shun has arrived.
Wait until Gongsun Zan and Yan Rou both come to the alliance, and wait until the two of them enter Liu Bei's big tent. Liu Bei looked up, and he was a little displeased in his heart, Gongsun Chan was still in the costume of the white horse general, but Yan Rou was wearing the clothes of the Hu people, wearing a leather robe, but the hair had a Han bun. In short, it's just one word, nondescript!
Gongsun Zhan glanced at Yan Rou, snorted coldly, and asked Liu Bei, "Xuande is here to help me?" ”
