Chapter 5 Zhao Yun
Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong defected to Gongsun Zan in the 2nd year of Chuping, that is, in 191 AD.
It's 188 A.D., so Zhao Yun is still just a commoner in the countryside of Changshan Country.
According to the clues provided by the intelligence officers, Gongsun Kang was at home when he found him.
A few thatched houses, a small yard. There was a handsome guy standing in the courtyard. Eight feet tall, with a face like a silver moon, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in a white robe, white clothes made of coarse cloth.
Zilong is indeed very handsome, and he can be called the idol of the rotten girls in later generations, and even kills the old and the young, a friend of women.
When Gongsun Kang introduced himself: "I am Gongsun Kang of Liaodong, who has traveled the world, and I heard that Zilong is a true hero, so I came to visit." ”
Zhao Yun's little white face became ruddy, and he was very shy when he was young and immature. It is estimated that it is the first time I have heard someone call him a hero.
"Yun is just a mortal, and he doesn't dare to call him a hero."
Zhao Yun is a hot-blooded young man with a strong sense of justice, and he can only use the country's righteousness to persuade him, and it is best to impress him by dealing with foreign races, chaos in the Central Plains, and so on. This was a strategy that Gongsun Kang had planned when he was in Liaodong.
So Gongsun Kang stepped forward to take his hand and said enthusiastically: "How fortunate to be able to see Brother Zilong today." Let's sit down and talk slowly. ”
Only then did Zilong realize that the two of them were still standing outside, and he hurriedly invited Gongsun Kang inside.
The Han people did not have chairs, and they all sat on the ground. Ordinary literati sit on their knees. Sitting cross-legged is called sitting on a beard and is generally considered impolite.
In order to recruit Zilong, Gongsun Kang's every move was carried out in accordance with the requirements of etiquette. There's nothing to fault with in the slightest.
There was a beautiful little girl who offered two cups of tea, and the tea was boiled with water and salt was added to it.
Zhao Yun introduced: "This is my sister Zhao Yu. ”
Gongsun Kang took a serious look, his eyes were clear, there was only appreciation, no pornography. "When you grow up, you must be virtuous and virtuous."
The little girl is only about 10 years old and has not yet grown. But there is no doubt about a beautiful embryo.
I just don't know where Gongsun Kang can see the virtuous and virtuous. But everyone loves to hear praise. The little girl made a blessing and went back to the back hall happily.
Gongsun Kang chatted with Zhao Yun seriously: "What does Zilong think about today? ”
Zhao Yun didn't want to talk deeply, but said lightly: "The world is turbulent, and the people's lives are very difficult. ”
Gongsun Kang remembered that in history, Zhao Yun saw Gongsun Chan for the first time.
Gongsun Zhan said to Zhao Yun: "I heard that the people in Jizhou want to attach themselves to Yuan Shao, how can you be the only one who can get lost?" Zhao Yun replied: "The world is in turmoil, I don't know who the Ming lord is, the people are in danger of being upside down, and after discussion and discussion, the state wants to follow the benevolent government, not because we are personally alienated from Yuan Shao and favor the general." ”
Therefore, Gongsun Kang understood that Zhao Yun was born in poverty and had always put the people in his heart.
So he said: "The root of the turmoil in the world lies in the endless land annexation of the powerful families. The wealthy families of the family took advantage of the plunder, regardless of the life and death of the people at the bottom, and only considered their own family interests, resulting in the birth and death of a large number of displaced people. Initially, the wealthy family was given land to the commoners, expanding the family's interests. However, in the long run, who will cultivate the vast amount of land obtained by the annexation? ”
The first time Zhao Yun heard these remarks, he was very novel, and looked at Gongsun Kang with bright eyes. "Please sir continue"
Gongsun Kang took a sip of tea and continued: "When the family has developed to a certain degree of strength, and a large number of people are concealed, the taxes of the imperial court cannot be collected, and they become weak and cannot support the army. And the Hao clan took in a large number of tribes, and they became warlords, annexing and attacking each other. ”
"Warlords everywhere are fighting each other, which will inevitably cause a large number of people to die and people to flee in all directions. The land is barren and no one cultivates it. After the war, the bodies were exposed in the wilderness, and no one went to bury them. Plague will inevitably arise. This leads to more deaths. ”
"And when the Han people are fighting each other, the Hu people are developing rapidly. A few decades later, due to wars and plagues, the population of the Han people was greatly reduced, and there was not one in ten. And the Hu people around the Han swarmed and invaded together. Did the Han people still have a living head at that time? I'm afraid that being used as food for foreign races and as a two-legged sheep is the end of the Han people. At that time, it was a luxury for the Han people to be buried in the soil after they died, and most of them were buried in the stomachs of the Hu people of the other race. It is estimated that the Han people are not far from extermination. ”
Gongsun Kang finished speaking in one breath, then picked up the teacup again and drank the tea slowly.
Zhao Zilong was stunned by these words, and sat still for a while. He needs to digest slowly.
It took a long time for Zhao Zilong to react. Solemnly bowed: "What Mr. said, Yun has never heard. But when you think about it, it makes sense. Don't know how to change? Please sir teach me. ”
