Chapter 4 Section 43 Breach of trust

A wave of tiredness came up, Liu Bei turned his head to look at Dian Wei, and saw that Dian Wei, who had not slept with him all night, was also trying to keep his eyes open, and his body seemed to be still shaking.

"Le Tao (Dian Wei), after a busy night, let's take a break and tell Yuan Zhi that Tao Gongzu will receive him first when he comes, don't call me if it's okay." Now let's talk about the unified currency of Qingxu and Xuzhou, the offensive and defensive momentum has been shifted, and there is no need to curry favor with Tao Qian. In order to fight for the best conditions, let him cool down first, and wait for him to be in a hurry, and then talk.

In the bedroom, Liu Bei was holding the "Lu's Spring and Autumn Classics", reading it unintentionally, just waiting for the tiredness to rise, so that he would fall asleep. Outside the door, a sudden sound of banging on the door sounded: "Lord, Taishi Ziyi (Taishi Ci) Starry Night Emergency Report, Emergency Military Situation." ”

It seems that Sun Jian's news has arrived.

Liu Bei got up and opened the door, and Xu Shu split his head and said: "Taishi Ziyi starry night emergency, Sun Jian retreated to Taigu, stopped for a while, and restarted the army to march to Ruyang." His march was hurried, the route was secret, and Ziyi suspected that Yuan Shu might recall Sun Jian after his new defeat, with the intention of being unfavorable to our side, and reminding the lord to be on guard quickly. ”

Liu Bei fell asleep and became angry: "Wentai dared to bully me like this." ”

Taking advantage of the situation to sneak attack Qingzhou, Sun Jian obviously couldn't do it, however, under the guise of saving Miss Zhang Yan'er, he deceived a lot of manpower and material resources from Liu Bei, and as soon as he obtained the jade seal, he began to renounce the alliance and withdraw his troops privately.

"Hate, I can't wait to put on my armor and go into battle in person." Liu Bei sighed.

Xu Shu will. Liu Bei said that his rear was unstable, and the princes' intentions were not dead, so he could not go to the front line in person, so he could only rely on agents to fight an agent battle. In order to strengthen his influence, he even did not hesitate to send young men (mercenaries) to incarnate as soldiers and participate in battles. However, it is clear that this type of control does not work well.

"Yuan Zhi, you quickly take Yide to Ruyang, intercept the Qingzhou Boy Scouts, and say: The New Year is coming, and the boys must go home to visit their parents. If Sun Jian doesn't allow it, you will kill Sun Jian for me, hide from his army, and destroy his pawn. Liu Bei gritted his teeth and commanded.

"This move is inappropriate" Xu Shu vetoed without hesitation, saying: "Our army is at least seven days away from Ruyang, and when our army reaches Ruyang, Sun Jian may have disappeared." Moreover, our army is a lone expedition, and the outcome is extremely unpredictable. Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong, and Dong Zhuo were also defeated under his hands, and it was difficult for our army to win if it was not for the lord's father-in-law. ”

In this way, the golden cicada was decoupled. Liu Bei reluctantly walked to the table and carefully examined the map.

Xu Shu's voice came from afar: "Taishi Ziyi also reported: In the first battle of Bishan, because our army did not catch up, the boy scouts did not have armor and went into battle shirtless, and used the giant bows and crossbows of adults to fight. ”

"What?" Liu Bei was taken aback and asked urgently, "How many casualties?" ”

The Boy Scouts are weak and use adult crossbows, which means that after a few shots, the Boy Scouts will not be able to draw their bows and will have to wait for the enemy to slaughter, and the casualties can be imagined.

Xu Shu dodged and replied: "More than half of the casualties, the boy scout captain Xu Ling was killed." ”

Liu Bei walked away, picked up the teacup on the table, and slammed it on the ground: "Five years, five years, 3,000 children in Jinan only selected these 200 people, I trained them for five years, and taught them for five years." Five years of hard work, Sun Wentai, return my scouts. ”

Xu Shu didn't dare to persuade him, and flashed into the corner to watch Liu Bei blow through the house like a storm, and where he passed, the table was destroyed and the chair died.

At this moment, Tao Qian happened to enter Liu Bei's mansion, and when he saw the people in the mansion, he was trembling and wondering.

It is precisely because the people in the house are panicked that no one stops Tao Qian. Relying on the familiarity of geography, Tao Qian led people into Liu Bei's backyard.

As soon as he approached Liu Bei's bedroom, he heard Liu Bei's whimpering voice: "Sun Wentai, bring my legion back and return my child to me......"

Tao Qian was shocked, Sun Jianjun has Liu Bei's children?

"Amitabha", behind Tao Qian, a bald-headed strong man flashed out: "This benefactor is angry and hurts his liver, and he will wait for the poor monk to go and persuade him." ”

Tao Qian nodded and watched the monk enter Liu Bei's room proudly.

In the middle of the night, Xu Shu walked out of the room and saluted Tao Qian: "My lord lost his temper for a while, and he smiled. Please come with me to the reception room, and the lord will be dressed to meet each other. ”

Tao Qian waited for a while, and Liu Bei hurried over.

"Gong Zugong, who is that bald man, how can he enter my room privately? Ask Grandpa Gong, what should I do? Liu Bei asked unhappily.

Tao Qian hurriedly replied: "He is a monk who came with me, and when he heard that Xuande Gong was angry and injured, he was in a hurry and broke into the house, and he hoped that Xuande Gong would forgive him." ”

Monks, are there still monks in this era? Liu Bei sat down on the chair slowly in confusion, muttering in his heart: It is the monks who like to trespass into private houses, which caused the continuous adultery afterwards, and it seems that a rule must be established as early as possible to prohibit monks from entering private houses.

"Since the time of Emperor Ming (the son of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty Liu Xiu, the second emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty), Chu Wangying (Buddhist believers) rebelled, and the imperial court killed monks. There is no longer any record of the spread of Buddhism in Middle-earth. The monk I found there dared to trespass into my bedroom. Liu Bei still said dissatisfied.

A young man flashed out behind Tao Qian, and said loudly: "The Buddha is still inactive, he is good at killing evil, saving his desires and going to luxury, although the court prohibits it, the believers still spread it by word of mouth, and it is endless." ”

At this time, even Xu Shu frowned, and Tao Qian scolded softly: "I talk to Xuande Gong, and the world is going to talk more." ”

The young man retreated respectfully, but Liu Bei found that when the young man stepped back, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Shigao? Who is this? Liu Bei asked.

Tao Qian explained: "The Yellow Turban disturbed people's hearts with the Taiping Road, and after I pacified the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Xuzhou, I used the Rongrong to supervise the money and grain in Guangling, Xiapi and Pengcheng, and set up the Dafutu Temple (Buddhist Temple), and ordered the people to read the Buddhist scriptures in class, and those who believed in Buddhism were exempted from military service, so as to offset the influence of the Taiping Road. ”

Tao Qian was still unsatisfied, and said: "I heard that Xuande Gong also preaches religion in Qingzhou, and I and Xuande Gong can also be regarded as coincidence. ”

Zhenrong, it turns out that this person is Zhenrong. According to the Buddhist scripture "Records of the Three Tibetan Records, Five Wisdom and Wisdom and Doubts", Zhenrong, Guangling, and Pengcheng are all monks, but the identity of this monk is amateurish, and his main business is to be an official.

Guangling, Xiapi and Pengcheng are all large grain-producing counties, and Zhenrong uses the grain in his hands, "every bath Buddha, set up more wine and rice, cloth on the road, through dozens of miles, the people come to watch and eat and ten thousand people." At one time, from the Shouxiang to the Li Min, they all chanted the Buddha's name. As a result, Buddhism was able to flourish again in the Central Plains.

However, his behavior was to embezzle the grain of the three counties. The luxury and luxury of the mansion built by Zhenrong is also the earliest private garden in the history of Suzhou, and the style of Suzhou gardens has been popular for future generations since he began.

In the book "Wang Question and Sage", it is said: This person is the first living treasure in the Three Kingdoms era, and his dirty behavior is rare in ancient and modern times (it is not rare now).

As a Buddhist, in addition to promoting Buddhism and doing good deeds, he connived at his subordinates to loot and kill wantonly, and used his power to enrich his own pockets. He was promoted by Tao Qian and became the minister of state from a small pawn, but when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he saw that the situation was not good, and looked for another high branch. On the way to escape, Zhao Yu, the Taishou of Guangling, ignored Tao Qian's opposition and treated each other as a guest. But Zhen Rong had evil thoughts, borrowed a banquet, killed Zhao Yu when he was drunk, and connived at his subordinates to loot Guangling, and then crossed the river to take refuge in Xue Li.

Such a person, who keeps preaching Buddhist teachings and preaching kindness to others, but he abandons the Lord and goes to others when he is in danger, and kills people and takes cities, without faith and righteousness, can be described as despicable and shameless, and is simply an ancient Mu Suixin and Ma Xiangdong.

However, this man is a model of the separation between what should be and what is actually in China. The morality he advocates is only what he thinks others should have, but he never practices it himself. All he hopes is for others to learn from Lei Feng and dedicate himself

come

Demand.

What is such a person doing in Lianyungang with a monk?

Tao Qian then asked: "Xuande Gong, the master is also out of kindness, and he wants to persuade Xuande Gong to calm his anger, so he entered Xuande's bedroom privately, and hopes that Xuande Gong will understand." ”

Liu Bei replied lightly: "Since Gongzu Gong is in charge, I forgive him." Come on, bury the master well. ”

"What? Bury? Tao Qian stood up and asked in surprise.

Liu Bei replied with a smile: "According to the laws of Qingzhou, entering someone else's house without permission is not a traitor or a thief, and the owner of the house has the right to kill on the spot." At that time, Yuan Zhi proved that I did not know him, and that it was in accordance with the law that I beheaded him. I'm quick for a while, hehe...... Now, now that I have forgiven him, I will pay for his burial. ”

After speaking, Liu Bei glared at Zhenrong fiercely, with a thick murderous intent in his eyes: Zhenrong brought the monks here, and he must have wanted to use religious power to control Lianyungang. This move must have met with Tao Qian's acquiescence. Such a despicable villain must not be allowed to interfere.

Seeing Liu Bei's bad attitude, Zhen Rong thought that he had just interjected at will, which provoked Liu Bei's anger, and leaned behind Tao Qian.

Tao Qian understood, and forked the topic to introduce Liu Bei's entourage - Xuzhou Beijia, Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong, Qu people in the East China Sea (ancient name of Qu County in Lianyungang), Sun Qian, Sun Gonghu, Xuzhou Cangcao Peng (in charge of Canggu's affairs), and Mi Zhu's brother Mi Fang Mi Zishu, and Cao Bao, the general of Xuzhou who accompanied the escort.

In addition to Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, Tao Qian's important ministers have all arrived.

After some introductions, the atmosphere in the lobby was finally eased, but at this time, it was no longer appropriate to talk about the unified currency. Tao Qian and Liu Bei chatted without a word, and both sides were worried.

After a while, Zhao Yun reported inside: The Left Division of the Guards Army was ready and was waiting for the order to leave.

Liu Bei pondered for a long time and asked: "Yuan Zhi (Xu Shu), look, do you want to chase or not?" ”

Xu Shu replied: "It's cold, I can't catch up, what can I do?" ”

"I am unwilling to let Sun Wentai go like this," Liu Bei said fiercely.

"If the lord is unwilling, then chase it." Xu Shu said tolerantly.

Liu Bei thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Since that's the case, then let him go." The order was given, and the soldiers disbanded and returned to their respective camps. ”

Tao Qian couldn't hold back and asked: "Why did Xuande Gong chase Sun Wentai, when I entered the mansion just now, I heard that Sun Wentai abducted Xuande Gong's child, is this really the case?" ”

Liu Bei explained to Tao Qian in detail, and Tao Qian asked in surprise: "Sun Wentai won even battles in Luoyang, and with the support of Xuande Gong manpower and material resources, defeating Dong Zhuo is just around the corner, why did he retreat in such a hurry, and the marching route was so secretive, could he really be plotting against Xuzhou Qingzhou?" ”

"Passing on the jade seal of the country", Liu Bei blurted out, and as soon as the words came out, he knew that it was broken, and it stopped abruptly.

"What?" , Tao Qian was extremely shocked: "What does Xuande Gong mean: Sun Wentai got the heirloom jade seal in Luoyang?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Tao Qian realized what he said, and was taken aback again: "The jade seal of the country? ”

Passing on the jade seal of the country, these four words are like a hammer, beating everyone's hearts - "Passing on the country ......" Xu Shu muttered dumbfounded.

"It's just my guess." Liu Bei covered up and said: "The rebellion of the Zhongchang Servants, the disappearance of the jade seal of the country, after Sun Wentai entered Luoyang, he renovated the palace and the imperial tomb, and suddenly stopped work, and then he hurriedly withdrew from the army, I speculate that the reason for his withdrawal is that he found the jade seal of the country." Otherwise, with Sun Wen's aggressive personality, how could he suddenly withdraw from the army when the situation was good? ”

"This speculation is so incredible, how did Xuan Degong think of it...... However, it seems to make a lot of sense. Tao Qian sat heavily in his chair and sighed, still echoing those four words in his mind: Passing on the jade seal of the country.

"Military emergency, from Luoyang." Guan Hai hurriedly ran into the lobby and handed over a note.

Xu Shu glanced at Shujian hastily, and suddenly screamed, and Shujian fell to the ground.

"What's going on, when was it so panicked." Liu Bei asked.

Xu Shu ignored etiquette, stared at Liu Bei for a long time, and was speechless.

"Yuan Zhi, what's wrong?" Liu Bei was also a little flustered: "Have we been raided by Dong Zhuo?" What about the losses? ”

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's not Dong Zhuo's surprise attack, Taishi Ziyi Xingye makes up the military situation, lord, guess what, as if the lord witnessed it with his own eyes, Sun Wentai really got the jade seal of the heirloom country." ”

"What?" When the people in the hall heard this, they fell down.

"The world is unpredictable, I really expected it" Liu Bei performed with a sad face: "It's a pity that Sun Wentai is a generation of heroes, and his life is short." ”

"What does the letter say?" Tao Qian got up and asked unwillingly.

"Taishi Ziyi came to report: Sun Jian was hanging in the Luoyang Palace, and suddenly saw a five-colored light in the south of the city, rushing into the air. Therefore, when someone was sent to investigate, it was a wellhead that was glowing, and the well column was engraved with the words "Zhenguan Well". The sergeants drained the well water, salvaged out a box, there is a jade seal in the box, four inches back to the circle, there are five dragons on it, there is a seal inscription below, engraved with the eight characters of "ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", a corner is missing next to it, and it is made up with gold inlay, so it is recognized as the jade seal of the Qin and Han dynasties. When Wang Mang usurped the throne, he asked Empress Xiaoyuan for the jade seal, and Empress Xiaoyuan threw it to the seal, resulting in the lack of a corner of the jade seal, which was later inlaid with gold.

After Sun Jian salvaged the jade seal, he immediately summoned his henchmen and generals to close the door and discuss secretly, and the whole army opened the next day. The soldiers who participated in the salvage of the jade seal that day then fled to Luoyang and reported the situation to General Ziyi. ”

Tao Qian asked in shock: "How did Xuande Gong guess that Sun Wentai would get the jade seal?" ”

Liu Bei smiled slightly and replied: "In the past, the rebellion of the Chang Shi, the young emperor was forced by Zhang Rang to leave Xiaopingjin from the North Palace, and he couldn't bring the seal in a hurry. I expect that the jade seal is still in the palace, or the chamberlain who holds the seal is afraid that someone will take it away and throw it into the well. Later, the eunuch was killed. The jade seal does not end. Sun Jian entered Luo, renovated the palace, and obtained the national seal, which is also a possibility. Only in this way can Sun Wentai's strange behavior be explained. ”

Tao Qian asked again: "Just now, Xuande Gong said that Sun Wentai's life is not long, what does this mean?" ”

Liu Bei stood up and said leisurely: "The Han Dynasty and Qin, after four hundred years, how can the jade seal of the country be hidden by a blessed person. Wang Mang usurped the Han and seized the seal, and the dynasty was so short-lived. The eunuch secretly hid the seal, and soon his head was in a different place. Sun Jian, secretly hiding the jade seal and returning to the south, and accidentally passed it on to everyone, I expect that there are people in the world who have no heart and no heart, and they will beat the drum and attack it. Therefore, Sun Jian will die, and in the future, anyone who gets the jade seal will not die well, don't believe it, wait and see. ”

The troubled times began, and even loyal ministers like Sun Jian began to prepare to cultivate their own forces. In this troubled world, who cares about the fate of a little woman, Zhang Yan'er, Cai Zhaoji, and countless of my Han ladies and ladies have been left on the grassland, unkempt and unkempt for illiterate alien herds, and have children.

At that time, a Yuefu poem was sung like this: The dry fish crossed the river and wept, when to repent and return, compose a book and the bream, and teach each other to be cautious. Anthropomorphic with a fish, it seems to warn a partner of a person who has suffered a calamity. However, in troubled times, human life is as cheap as grass, and disasters can be taken away if people want to hide?

"Sun Jian has withdrawn from the army, Miss Yan'er has not found him, he has withdrawn, Sun Wentai, deceived our military supplies and soldiers, he has withdrawn." Liu Bei groaned sadly, bringing up the topic again, and his anger couldn't help but surge.

Tao Qian looked at each other: It has long been rumored that Liu Bei beat Dong Zhuo for a woman, but now it seems that the rumors may be true.

Seeing that Liu Bei was gradually getting a little out of control, Tao Qian hurriedly persuaded: "I heard that Zuo Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo has recently attached to Shangdang Taishou Zhangyang. When Dong Zhuo plundered Luoyang, he was in Beijing. Xuande Gong might as well write to ask Uncle Zhang Ya (Zhang Yang) to see if Yu Fuluo knew the news of Luoyang. ”
