Chapter 37: Worry
One of the best in appearance? Went to Yizhou?
"Hey!" Zhang Liao and the little black dog on the ground sighed in unison, revealing a disappointed look. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And Wu Kuang thought that Zhang Liao was sighing for the separation of his family, and couldn't help but admire Zhang Liao's "simple" character, and couldn't help but sigh: "Wenyuan is a true and honest person." β
"Honest people?" Hearing Wu Kuang praise Zhang Liao like this, the little black dog couldn't help but roll his eyes on the ground: "Poor Dao!" What kind of eyes, this dog boy can also be regarded as a sincere person? β
Zhang Liao was also praised a little blushing, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Brother Wu said that Liu Yuanjun is Liu Yan and Liu Yizhou?" β
"yes." Wu Kuang's expression was a little gloomy: "Now that the army is in chaos, Yizhou yellow turbans and rice thieves are rampant, the road is difficult to pass, and I don't know if there is a time to see my nephew and niece." β
Zhang Liao comforted: "Liu Yizhou is quite talented, presumably Yizhou will settle down soon, and there will always be a time for uncle and nephew to meet." β
"It's a pity, it's a step too late." The little black dog jumped on Zhang Liao's shoulder again, and said with some unwillingness: "I didn't expect it to be cheaper than Liu Mao's short-lived kid, hmph, the atmospheric luck is not something that anyone can afford." β
Zhang Liao felt a pity in his heart, but it was a pity that he couldn't see the legendary Empress Wu, that was the woman who would make Liu Da'er covet in the future, and his three palaces and six courtyards lacked a main force.
Zhang Liao was depressed in his heart, and raised his glass to toast Wu Kuang.
Wu Kuang was also a little bored, drank a glass of wine, and looked at Zhang Liao: "I don't know what position Wen Yuan currently occupies in the army?" β
"Pingjin Sima." Zhang Liao said a word, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Wu, do you know who the Pingjin Governor is?" β
He is Pingjin Sima, and his direct boss is Pingjin Commander. Lieutenant Pingjin belongs to Lieutenant Guandu, which is the same level as an ordinary lieutenant, and is only slightly lower than the lieutenant of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army.
Now that he has a feud with Hua Xiong, Hu Zhen, Li Dao and other Liangzhou generals, if the Pingjin Governor is also from Hu Zhen or Hua Xiong's side, then his future life will be really difficult.
Wu Kuang obviously knew this, but just shook his head and said: "It's a pity that I don't know who the Pingjin Governor is, and I will see Dong Min for my brother tomorrow to help you investigate, but at the moment, the white wave thieves in Hedong County are raging, Xiaopingjin Pass is the northern gateway of the Beijing Division, which is quite important, and the Pingjin Governor must be from Liangzhou, Wenyuan has arrived in Xiaopingjin, or temporarily forbear, you must not offend your boss again, otherwise it will be dangerous." β
Zhang Liao nodded a little depressedly, in fact, he didn't want to get stiff with the people of Liangzhou, but Hua Xiong's repeated provocations and hurt his soldiers, how could he not repay one or two?
For the general who served as the commander of Pingjin, Zhang Liao didn't ask Zuo Ci, but this guy only threw one sentence: How can that low-level minion enter the eyes of the poor Dao and don't recognize it!
However, as Wu Kuang said, most of the lieutenants of Pingjin are from Liangzhou, and when they arrived in Xiaopingjin, they were still honest and devoted to dormant martial arts.
However, he is not a person who can be greatly wronged, if the Pingjin Lieutenant is really too deceitful and provokes himself, then he will chop him with a knife!
Zhang Liao thought viciously in his heart, killed someone, simply crossed the river with a thousand recruits and fled to the north of the Yellow River, and went to Jizhou to mix, when Yuan Shao and other princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo would not care about himself.
However, although Zhang Liao has Zhang Zhaohu's impulsive character, he also has Zhang Liao's own reason, and he is absolutely unwilling to take that step unless he has to.
It can be said that it seems easy to lead troops across the river to escape and unite with Yuan Shao and others to become princes, but in fact, there are more detours and more difficulties.
An important reason is that he came to this era too late, the Kwantung princes have not far off to crusade against Dong Zhuo, he now has no money, no food, no development and accumulation, no position of county guard or assassin and the title of the leader of the party, more than 1,000 soldiers are still untrained recruits, many conditions are restricted, there is no time to develop at all will be swallowed up in the next step of the competition.
It's late, so you have to pick up your tail and be an honest person in a short time.
The reality is undoubtedly cruel, this is not a crooked novel of later generations, self-made people must have at least one aspect of the advantage and the right time, and Zhang Liao currently has none.
I didn't see so many princes in history when they crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and they all started very high, all of them were pastors, assassins or celebrities, but even so, in the end, those who could develop and dominate one side were Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and other family officials and eunuchs, all of whom started by virtue of their family background and local influence.
Among the princes, perhaps Gongsun Chan did not have much power to rely on the family, but the fame of the Gongsun family in Liaoxi and Liaodong was of great help to him, and Gongsun Chan started very early, and he had already been named a marquis and a general when he was Emperor Ling, and his subordinates had trained a strong army, so he could compete with Yuan Shao later.
As for Liu Biao, Liu Bei, Liu Yan, Liu Yu, etc., they more or less relied on the influence of the Han family, and the princes such as Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Ma Chao also relied on their prestige and influence in Xiliang.
Throughout the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, almost none of the civilian princes who had no money, no food and no reputation could have the last laugh, the Yellow Turban Army failed, the White Bo Army failed, the Black Mountain Army was defeated, Zhang Yang was defeated, Zhang Ji was defeated, and LΓΌ Bu was finally defeated...... In this context, this is no accident.
Taking a step back, even if Zhang Liao did not hesitate to stoop down to follow a certain path of the Kwantung princes, but the Kwantung princes had their own thoughts, scattered sand, and were beaten to pieces by Dong Zhuo in history, and there was no future at all with them, it was better to follow Dong Zhuo, which was essentially the same, and Dong Zhuo coerced the Son of Heaven and had the orthodox name of being crowned an official and a knight, and his advantages were undoubtedly more prominent.
What Zhang Liao wanted to take was exactly the path that Lu Bu took in history. Lu Bu followed Dong Zhuo, all the way up, and then followed Wang Yun, after Dong Zhuo's death, he was named a marquis and a general, Yibi three divisions, and Wang Yun was in charge of the government, and even if he failed to flee to Kanto, but because of his previous status and influence in the central development department, he could also be supported by the local government, and almost killed Cao Cao, becoming a prince at the state pastoral level.
This is the way to increase fame by taking advantage of the situation, or to enjoy the shade under the big tree, save time and effort, it is best to use Dong Zhuo's momentum, with the appointment of the Son of Heaven to raise his military position, status and fame, how to develop in the future.
Of course, there is another way, that is, to become bandits, such as the Yellow Turban Army, the White Bo Army, and the Black Mountain Army, but this kind of thing, Zhang Liao still can't do it in his heart.
Now, he can only hope that the Lieutenant of Pingjin is not the same as Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong, but this expectation is very slim, he must not put himself and his subordinates on that kind of small probability expectation, and if he goes wrong in front of him, he will never recover.
It seems that he still has to think of a way, at least before going to Xiaopingjin, to find out who the Pingjin Governor is, so that he can make a choice.
Zhang Liao thought about it, and the meal had already come up.
As the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, under Wang San's scolding, the cook did not dare to slack off, the food was cooked faster than ever, and even Wu Kuang, a former general and lieutenant, couldn't help but marvel that he had never enjoyed this speed.
