Chapter 645: Liu Bei Seeks a Job Search
Longguan, which was established in the early Han Dynasty, is called Longguan because it is located in Longshan, also known as Longshan Pass. In the first month of the second year of the former Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty toured back to the middle of the country, and encountered a thunderstorm through Longguan, so he changed the name of Longguan to Dazhen Pass.
It is located on the top of Longshan Mountain, the terrain is dangerous, and it is rumored that the builder decided according to the characteristics of Longshan and the unique geographical location in which it is located. The Longshan Mountains lie between Shaanxi and Gansu, northwest to Liupan Mountain, southeast to Qinling, stretching for more than 1,000 miles, across more than 10 counties, the mountain is upright, magnificent.
"Sanqin Ji" has a saying, "Its saka is nine times, I don't know how high it is, and those who want to go up are more than seven days." The high place can accommodate more than 100 families, and the water is four bets. This illustrates the danger of Longguan, it is the only place to isolate Hanyang County and Sili, and it is also the nearest route from Hanyang County to Sanfu Jingshi, in the late Han Dynasty, Wang Mang set up the so-called "East Hangu Pass, West Longguan, Nanwu Pass, North Xiao Pass" four pass generals, send the right pass general Wang Fu to guard this pass, it can be seen the importance of this pass.
Since the end of last year, Fu Quan got a letter from the Queen of the Song Dynasty, and there was an occasional wind chill in the words of Emperor Liu Hong, his body became weaker and weaker, and he vomited blood several times.
This first step is naturally in the name of military training, stationed troops in Longguan, the easternmost part of Hanyang County, and then waiting for the news of the Song Dynasty, waving troops straight to Beijing, Fu Quan knows that in the face of the alliance of He Jin and the party people, only by learning the way of Dong Zhuo in history and subduing him with strong soldiers can he successfully take power.
Of course, Fu Quan will not learn from Dong Zhuo, and after taking power, he will also win over those careerists who compete with him for power, give them official rights, and finally lay the root of his own destruction. He is not Dong Zhuo, if those politicians do not yield and obey after Fuquan takes power, Fuquan does not mind letting them completely disappear into the court of the Han Dynasty, in short, those who have different intentions cannot stay.
The next day, after yesterday's deliberations, the cronies in charge of the troops in various places also secretly sent messengers, but the general was still a little hesitant.
In the lobby of the General's Mansion, He Jin looked at the sword on the case, still thinking deeply about whether what he did yesterday was right or wrong. He is not Dou Wu, Dou Wu is from the right Fufeng Pingling Dou clan, his ancestor is the Dou Rong of the "Yuntai Twenty-eight Generals" at the time of the founding of the country, the generation of officials in Guanzhong, and is the first scholar to reach the peak since Emperor Guangwu recreated the Han Dynasty, known as "from the ancestors and grandsons, one door and one duke, two marquis, three princesses, four or two thousand stones", and Dou Wu not only belongs to the descendants of the founding heroes, before he was a general of his relatives, he was also a great Confucian who was famous overseas, these reasons are completely destined for him Even if he becomes Wang Mang, no one will have objections, As long as he doesn't destroy the interests of the world's sergeants like Wang Mang after the change of dynasty, it will be fine, otherwise, it will be another "Tianxia Righteous Army" to attack him.
It is precisely because of his family background and fame that Dou Wu can look down on the eunuchs, but in the end, he will be killed if he is almost decisive. However, He Jin is different, he has been serving and serving in the first half of his life, and he has a deep-rooted fear of eunuchs, and it is only later that he worships under Yang Ci, so that he can obtain today's status through the relationship between the emperor and the eunuchs.
However, although He Jin has the power to dominate the world now, it does not mean that he is not afraid of eunuchs and the emperor behind eunuchs. It's just that now, he has no choice, the emperor clearly wants to make his years of hard work come to naught, and he wants to make the He family disappear, so he can't help He Jin not make a choice, not to mention, He Jin knows how much trouble the eunuch and the emperor will have when they are together.
He Jin knew that it was the right choice to kill the eunuchs and establish a new monarch at the moment, because as long as Zhu Chang stayed by His Majesty's side, he would sooner or later end up with the same fate as Dou Wu. After all, the permanent servants are loyal to the emperor in the final analysis, and once they make up their minds to play with their lives, no one can deal with those eunuchs who have killed many relatives and generals.
However, the choice was chosen, but after doing it, He Jin still regretted it, and there was no other way, He Jin could only summon the party leader Yuan Shao to ask.
Seeing that He Jin hesitated again, Yuan Shao shook his head and said in his heart: "There is more power than wisdom is enough, and the disciple of the Mu Monkey Crown." The original text of "The Records of Xiang Yu Benji", the original text of "people say that Chu people Mu Monkey and crown ears", that is, the monkey wears a hat, full of human appearance, and has its appearance. He Jin is from Nanyang County, Jingzhou, and belongs to the Chu people, Yuan Shao naturally scolded He Jin for being hesitant and hesitating, did he really want to give away the opportunity to take charge of the center? But fortunately, now that the messenger has left Luoyang, the cronies of the states will soon receive the letter, and even if He Jin repents at that time, it will be useless.
Moreover, not counting the county guards of the assassination of various states, including Bao Xin, the cavalry captain of the General's Mansion, returned to his hometown to recruit Taishan soldiers, the commander Biqiu Yi went to Yangzhou to recruit Danyang soldiers, and the general's Mansion Peng Wang Kuang went to Xuzhou to recruit strong crossbowmen, and the partial generals Lu Bu, the fake Sima Zhang Liao, and the fake Sima Zhang Yang returned to the state to recruit cavalry. With them, coupled with the state and county guards who are about to respond to the general, Yuan Shao believes that when the time comes, He Jin has no choice but to follow.
Everything depends on the race against time, and they can only make all preparations before Fuquan leads the troops into Beijing, so that they can have no worries......
Wushi Mountain, also known as Fufu pile, from Luoyang to Songshan, must pass through this place. This mountain is about more than 100 zhang high, not very high, less grass and trees, more gold and jade spring water, there is a pond on the top of the mountain, green such as jade, there are often cranes to drink water, so it is said to drink crane pond. The so-called mountain is not high, there are immortals, it is rumored that there are immortals in this mountain, it is the crown prince of King Zhou Ling. He is good at playing the sheng, once roaming in Yiluo, met the immortal Fuqiu Gong, followed Songshan, accumulated more than 30 years. Later, my family found me, and he waited for me on the seventh day of July. On the same day, people arrived, Prince Jin waved goodbye, climbed the crane and left, and everyone said that they were ascending to immortals.
After all, rumors are rumors, just listen to them, no one believes it, but fourteen years ago, the great Confucian Lu Zhi once taught here, and it was a beautiful talk for the villagers.
On this day, the sun was scorching, like a fire, and the people sat under the big tree to escape the heat, and shook it with their palms to dispel the stuffy heat.
In the rumbling sound, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and about 30 horsemen galloped from afar.
In this world, those who have horses are extraordinary, and it is very close to the capital of Luoyang, only more than 100 miles, and the people guess that it is not the right son of the princess who came to the outing? It's just that today is not a good climate for outings.
The cavalry is getting closer and closer, and when the people see the real thing, they are surprised for a while, where is the other party who is the right son of the minister, and the appearance of the dusty servant is from afar.
This team of knights is tall or thin, or short, dressed in a variety of clothes, aged between twenty and thirty years old, not to look at the age, the momentum is not small, the curiosity of the eyes inadvertently revealed murderous aura, which makes the hearts of others tremble, only the warriors who crawled out of the mountain of corpses and blood have such momentum.
These people are not all murderers, there is a young man, his face is quite serious, people let down their guard, at this moment he said: "Brother, this is where my brother traveled to study back then? ”
"Hmmm! Thirteen years later, the appearance of the mountain is the same, and it has not changed at all. The middle-aged leader nodded and muttered to himself, he was none other than Liu Bei, Fuquan's old acquaintance, and as for the person who spoke, it was Liu Bei's old confidant Jian Yong.
Ahead, Liu Bei's loyal brother Zhang Fei sent someone to ask, where to go next, all present are Liu Bei since the Taiping Road incident, as a recruited Youzhou soldiers, Youzhou has been poor since ancient times, not to mention that these of them have been reduced to being soldiers, it is a great thing to be able to go to Bingzhou and Jizhou on weekdays, and now when they come to the outside of Luoyang City, they are naturally unfamiliar with life and do not know where to go.
However, Liu Bei was not in a hurry, and immediately called on the group to come to the foot of the Wushi Mountain, appreciate this place in the future for many years, and feel nostalgic for the past.
Liu Bei jumped off the horse, wiped his sweat with a hand towel, walked in the place where he had lived, and at the same time couldn't help but think of the same door, and now the world-famous white horse general Gongsun Zhan, the situation of the two after pacifying the Taiping Road can be described as very different.
Since the pacification of the Taiping Road, Liu Bei from the army with hundreds of brothers, only more than 30 people left, in return, he became an official because of his military exploits, the imperial court named him Anxi County Lieutenant, although the official position, it seems that some of Liu Bei's military exploits are not as good as Liu Bei's military exploits, but for Liu Bei, whose family has long fallen, this is enough.
History sometimes returns to the original trajectory after all, just like Liu Bei, even if his life circumstances are early, but as a soldier temporarily recruited by the Han Dynasty to fight against the Taiping Dao, it is still impossible for Liu Bei, the old revolution, to be directly promoted to Sima, lieutenant and other officials by virtue of military merits, after all, one of his family is not good, and the other is that there is no one in the court.
Anxi County is in Zhongshan country, belongs to Jizhou, but borders Zhuo County, when Taiping Dao did something, sent Liu Bei money, and helped him to accompany his brother Gongsun Zan to send troops to the horse merchant Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, who were all from Zhongshan.
It's just that being a county lieutenant and having a regular business life does not mean that Liu Bei will be able to successfully be promoted step by step in his career since then, and everything that should come should come, especially Liu Bei's fiery temper that he has practiced since he came out of the battlefield.
Not long ago, the superintendent went to the county on official business, Liu Bei begged for advice, but the other party said that he refused to see it, and it turned out that the imperial court issued an edict, and those who had military merits and were county magistrates should be eliminated by the sand. Now that the post is gone, Liu Bei knew that he would be dismissed, thinking of hundreds of brothers dying in the field, he burst into the door in anger, dragged out the post supervisor, tied him to a tree, and whipped him more than a hundred times, wanting to kill him.
After Liu Bei whipped his cane, he was angry and relieved, and he also knew that this was the intention of the imperial court to innovate, not the fault of the superintendent, and he hurt the court officials, but also gave people a tongue, for the sake of today, can no longer be in a dark and happy situation, so he greeted his cronies and took his brothers to die.
At the beginning, Liu Bei often took refuge in the Hengshan area, and later heard that many of his colleagues in Youzhou knew each other, either by the general He Jin into the palace, or by the emperor Liu Hong into the Xiyuan army, after a choice, knowing that it was not good to always live a life of outlaws, and finally decided to try his luck in Beijing.
After wandering around the Wushi Mountain and reminiscing about the carefree life of many young days, Liu Bei turned back to the west, rushed to the outside of Luoyang City before dark, and lived in a poorly decorated pavilion in Mashi.
After that, Liu Bei bathed, rested for a night, and the next morning, changed into a beautiful dress that he was reluctant to wear, dressed up, rode into the city, and went straight to the official residence of Shangshu Lu Zhi. , Liu Bei wanted to defect to his mentor, and wanted to use his past exploits in pacifying Taiping Dao, and his mentor Lu Zhi would work around the court for him and get an official and a half-job, but Shangshu lived in the palace on weekdays, and he only came out on a resting day, but Liu Bei was empty.
After looking down and thinking for a long time, Liu Bei thought that in the West Garden, there were his old acquaintances in the Youzhou Army, Xu Rong and others, so he wanted to defect, but he thought that Xu Rong and others were just ordinary generals in Luoyang City, and they would not give him much help.
Outside the general's mansion, Liu Bei was not smiling, dressed gorgeously, and came on a royal horse, and the servants of the He family did not dare to be rude.
At this time, outside the general's mansion, as usual, Liu Bei saw this, turned over and dismounted, regardless of everyone's eyes, walked straight to the side of He's servant, hugged his fists and said: "Dare to ask if you know the Son Sutra?" ”
"Legong is high-footed, how can I not know. The king is in the house immediately. ”
The doorman said solemnly, holding the son through the word move, Jizhou Anping people, why into the henchman Leyin's beloved disciple, the doorman knew that Liu Bei behaved like this, he must have no fear, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and shouted to the mansion to pull the move, everyone outside the general's mansion saw this, and knew that the other party was in the general's mansion, and they didn't dare to say much.
