Chen Lin said: "Cheng Yu, a native of Dong'e, became famous for helping Dong'e County Lingshou defend the city to repel the Yellow Turban in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and became a famous man in Yanzhou.

(Cheng Yu (141-220), the name Zhongde, a native of Dong'e (now Dong'e, Shandong), was a strategist and famous minister of Cao Wei from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info's real name is Cheng Li, because he held the sun in Mount Tai in his dream, he changed his name to Cheng Yu.

During the Yellow Turban Uprising, Wang Du of Dong'e County responded and burned down the county's warehouse. The county ordered the city to flee, and the officials fled east to Quqiu Mountain with the old and the young. Cheng Yu, who was in his hometown at this time, ordered someone to spy on Wang Du and found that Wang Du and others could not hold on to the empty city, so they went out of the city five or six miles west of the city to stop at Tun.

Cheng Yu then said to Xue Fang and others, a big household in the county: "Now Wang Du and others can't live in the city if they get it, and their potential can be predicted. He just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to plunder his property, and he did not have the will to attack and defend with strong armor. Why don't we go back to the city one after another to defend it? And the city is high and thick, and there is a lot of grain, and now if you return to the city to find the county order, and hold it together, Wang Du will not be able to stay for a long time, and then attack him, and Wang Du will be broken. ”

Xue Fang and the others thought so, but the officials refused to obey, and Cheng Yu had to say helplessly: "Foolish people can't make big things." So the secret dispatch rode on the east mountain and held high the flag, so that Xue Fang and others could see it, and then shouted: "The thieves have attacked!" Then he went down the mountain to take the city, and when the officials saw the situation, they followed them, and finally found the county order and defended the city together. Later, Wang Du and others came to attack the city, but they couldn't break it, and they were about to retreat. At this time, Cheng Yu led the people to open the city gate and pursue. Wang Du was defeated. Dong'a was thus complete.

In the third year of the first peace (192). Yanzhou assassin Liu Dai summoned Cheng Yu for use. Cheng Yu should not be appointed. At that time, Liu Dai was in harmony with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao ordered his wife to live in Liu Dai's place, and Gongsun Zhan also sent Fan Fang to lead troops to help Liu Dai defend the land. Later, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan were at odds. Gongsun Zan defeated Yuan Shao's army, so he sent an envoy to Liu Dai to say that he wanted to collect Yuan Shao's wife, so Liu Dai sent him and broke off relations with Yuan Shao. Gongsun Zan ordered Fan Fang again: "If Liu Dai does not send Yuan Shao's family, he will lead the troops back." When I decide Yuan Shao, I will attack Liu Dai. Liu Dai couldn't make a resolution for several days. Don't drive Wang Yu to Liu Dai and say: "Cheng Yu has a strategy and can decide big things." Liu Dai then summoned Cheng Yu to ask for advice, and Cheng Yu said: "If you give up Yuan Shao's close help and ask Gongsun Zan for distant help, this is equivalent to asking people to save the drowning children in Yuedi." Moreover, Gongsun Chan is not Yuan Shao's enemy, although he is slightly superior to Yuan Shao's army, but he will eventually be captured by Yuan Shao. If you take the momentum overnight and do not think about the long-term plan, you will surely be defeated, General. Liu Dai listened to his plan. So Fan Fang led his soldiers back, but the soldiers had not yet arrived and Gongsun Zan had been greatly broken by Yuan Shao. Liu Dai played Cheng Yu as the captain of the cavalry, but Cheng Yu resigned due to illness.

Later, Liu Dai was killed by the Yellow Turban. Cao Cao's soldiers came to Yanzhou. summoned Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu agreed. When Cheng Yu is about to go. His villagers were very puzzled and said to him: "Why are your actions so contrary?!" Cheng Yu only laughed and didn't want to. When Cheng Yu first arrived, Cao Cao talked to him about big things, and he was very happy, and took Cheng Yu as his longevity. When Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, he ordered Cheng Yu and Xun Yu to stay in Juancheng. At that time, Zhang Miao and other troops rebelled and welcomed Lu Bu into Yan, and the surrounding counties responded, only Juancheng, Fan County, and Dong'a did not move. There were troops from Lu Bu's army, saying that Chen Gong wanted to lead troops to take Dong'a, and then made Fan County take Fan, and the people were very afraid. Xun Yu said to Cheng Yu: "Now that Yanzhou is rebelling, only these three cities can be preserved. Chen Gong and others are approaching the city with heavy troops, if they can't work together, the three cities will shake. And you are the hope of the people, and now go back and lobby them, and you will definitely succeed! ”

Cheng Yu then returned to Dong'e and lobbied Jin Yun when he passed through Fan County: "I heard that Lu Bu is the wife of the monarch's mother and brother, and the filial son can't be honest!" Now the world is in turmoil, the heroes rise together, there will be a life, the only people who can calm the turmoil in the world are Cao Gong, the winner is Chang, the owner is dead, Chen Gong he betrayed Cao Gong, welcomed Lu Bu into the city, the surrounding counties all responded, it seems to have made a difference, but looking at it, Lu Bu is like a person! Lu Bu is rude and has few cronies, upright and rude, just the courage of a horseman, Chen Gong and others can't get along with the monarch. Although there are many Lu Bubing, they will fail, and Cao Gongzhi is not born, but it is given by God! You must stick to Fan County, and I will guard Dong'a, so I can make a contribution to Tiandan, I hope you will consider it carefully. Jin Yun cried and said, "I don't dare to have two hearts." At that time, Fan Ling was already in Fan County, and Fan County ordered Jin Yun to ambush and assassinate Fan Ling through Cheng Yu's encouragement.

Cheng Yu sent farewell to occupy Cangtingjin, and Chen Gongjun could not cross. When Cheng Yu arrived in Dong'e, Dong'a had already led his officials to resist the city and hold on. There was also Yanzhou engaged in the conspiracy between Xue Yi and Cheng Yu, and finally held the three cities to wait for Cao Cao. Cao Cao returned, and Cheng Yu's hand said: "If it weren't for Cheng Qing's strength, I would have nothing to return to." So Cheng Yu was the prime minister of Dongping and was stationed in Fan County.

In the first year of Xingping (194), Cao Cao and Lü Bu fought in Puyang and lost several times. There was also a plague of locusts, so the two sides brought their troops away for the time being. Yuan Shao then persuaded Cao Cao to make peace, hoping that Cao Cao could move to Yecheng. At that time, Cao Cao saw that Yanzhou was newly lost and the military rations were about to run out, so he wanted to agree to Yuan Shao's request. Cheng Yu saw the incident and said to Cao Cao: "I heard that the general wants to send him to Qianye and make peace with Yuan Shao, is there such a thing?" Cao Cao said, "Yes." Cheng Yu advised: "I think the general, you are just afraid of the situation, otherwise how can you be so inconsiderate?" Yuan Shao possessed the land of Yan and Zhao, and had the heart of annexing the world, but his wisdom could not help him. Does the general think he can do things under him? General, you have the power of a dragon and a tiger, can you do what Han (Xin) and Peng (Yue) do to submit to others? Although Yanzhou is now ruined, there are still three cities to defend. There are no less than 10,000 capable fighters. With the general's divine strength, plus the assistance of me and Wen Ruo (Xun Yuzi) and others, and the use of the soldiers in the city, then the cause of the overlord can be accomplished. I hope the general will think about it carefully! Cao Cao gave up the idea of Lian and Yuan Shao.

After Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty set the capital of Xu County, he took Cheng Yu as the book. At that time, Yanzhou had not yet been appeased, so Cheng Yu was the general of Dongzhonglang, leading Jiyin Taishou and supervising Yanzhou affairs.

In the third year of Jian'an (198), Liu Bei lost Xuzhou and came to join Cao Cao. Cheng Yu persuaded Cao Cao to kill Liu Bei, but Cao Cao did not listen.

In the fourth year of Jian'an (199), Cao Cao sent Liu Bei to Xuzhou to intercept Yuan Shu. Cheng Yu and Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "Duke Ming didn't get rid of Liu Bei the day before yesterday. Now they are borrowing troops from him. He must have a different mind. Cao Cao regretted it, but he couldn't catch up. Sure enough, after Yuan Shu died of illness, Liu Bei went to Xuzhou, killed Che Guan, and raised troops to oppose Cao Cao.

In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years), Cheng Yu moved to General Zhenwei. At that time, Yuan Shao was about to move his troops to the south in Liyang, but Cheng Yu only had 700 troops guarding Juancheng. Cao Cao knew that it was in danger and ordered someone to tell Cheng Yu that he wanted to add 2,000 soldiers to Juancheng to help defend it. Cheng Yu refused to accept it and said: "Yuan Shao has 100,000 soldiers, and he thinks he is invincible. If he sees that I have few troops, he will not dare to attack easily. But if I increase my soldiers, I must attack too much, and if I want to attack them, I will only lose both sides. May the Lord not doubt! Cao Cao followed. Yuan Shao heard that Cheng Yu had few soldiers, so he really didn't dare to enter the army. Cao Cao heard about it. Xiang Jia Xu said: "Cheng Yu's courage surpasses Meng Ben and Xia Yu." ”

Eight years of Jian'an (203). Cheng Yu entangled a group of mountain people and outlaws, and got thousands of elite soldiers, so he led the army to join Cao Cao in Liyang and crusade against Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang. Cao Cao sent Li Dian and Cheng Yu to ship military rations. Cao Cao said to Li Dian and Cheng Yu: "If the boat can't pass, go down from the land road." Li Dian discussed with the generals and said: "The Tibetan army is less armor and is afraid of water, and it has a slack heart, and it will be defeated." Cheng Yu also thought so. Then the north crossed the river to break through the high Tibet, and the waterway was passed. After the second Yuan Po left, Cheng Yu worshiped as the general of Fenwu and was named the Marquis of Anguo.

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), Cao Cao conquered Jingzhou in the south, Liu Cong surrendered, and Liu Bei went to Jiangwu for help. Some people thought that Sun Quan would kill Liu Bei, but Cheng Yu expected: "Sun Quan's new reign has not yet been feared by the sea." And Cao Gong is invincible in the world, the first time to raise Jingzhou, the shock of the river, although Sun Quan is strategic, he can't resist alone. Liu Bei is famous, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all enemies of 10,000 people, and Sun Quan will definitely assist them to defend against our army. After parting ways, Liu Bei had received actual funding, and Sun Quan couldn't get it and killed him. Sun Quan really supplied the army and Liu Bei to defend against Cao Cao.

After the capture of Jingzhou, the Central Plains was largely pacified, and the power of Cao's army gradually expanded. Once, Cao Cao stroked Cheng Yuzhi's back and said: "If Yanzhou was defeated, if I hadn't listened to your plan, how could I have come here?" Cheng Yu replied: "The so-called 'contentment without disgrace' (from the 44th chapter of the Tao Te Ching, which means that as long as a person knows how to be content, he will not end up humiliated because of excessive greed), now is the time for me to retreat in a hurry." So he officially said that he would return the military power from now on and would not go out.

In the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211), Cao Cao conquered Han Sui and Ma Chaoshi, Cao Pi stayed behind, and Cheng Yu was sent to the military. When Tian Yin and Su Bo rebelled against Hejian, Cao Pi sent the general Jia Xin to investigate. There were more than 1,000 rebels in the army who asked for surrender, and the ministers of the DPRK and China all believed that they should surrender their troops in accordance with the old law, but Cheng Yu said: "The reason why we wanted to kill those who surrendered in the past was because the situation was turbulent at that time, the world was in chaos, and when attacking the thieves, the policy of 'those who besiege and then surrender will not be pardoned' was adopted, the purpose was to show the other rebel parties the consequences of not surrendering as soon as possible, so that all the enemies would be afraid, and surrender before the siege, and then there would be no need to besiege the city with troops in the future." For example, the situation has generally settled down today, and the battle is taking place in the territory this time, these are all thieves who have not formed a climate, and there is no place to demonstrate and show fear if they are killed, and they have lost the strategic significance of the previous surrender. Therefore I do not think that these troops shall be killed; Even if you want to kill them, you must first ask Cao Gong's opinion. But the ministers at that time said: "We can make our own decisions on the military side, and we don't need to tell Cao Gong about everything!" After Cheng Yu heard this, he no longer responded.

After the court meeting was over, Cao Pi left the hall and specially introduced Cheng Yu and asked him: "You seem to be still unfinished?" Cheng Yu said: "The so-called 'self-decision' system refers to the need to make a decision as soon as possible in the face of temporary urgency. Now that the thief has been subdued by Jia Xin, this matter will not suddenly change too sharply. Therefore, the old minister did not want the general to rush to make his own decisions and do **** things. Cao Pi understood Cheng Yu's hard work and sighed: "Cheng Jun is really thoughtful!" He immediately confessed the rebellion in Hejian to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao, after the persuasion of Shi Guoyuan, the governor of the residence, really ordered those who did not surrender. After Cao Cao also knew the ins and outs, he was very happy and said to Cheng Yu: "Cheng Qing is not only good at military strategy, but also good at dealing with things between other people's fathers and sons. ”

Cheng Yu is rigid by nature and has many discords with others. Someone falsely accused Cheng Yu of rebellion, but Cao Cao treated him well.

In the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213), when the Wei State was established, Cheng Yu was the guard captain. Because of the competition with Lieutenant Xing Zhen. was deposed.

The first year of the early Huang dynasty (220). Cao Pi was called the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Cheng Yufu was the captain of the guard, and he entered the township of An, increasing the number of 300 households, and a total of 800 households in front of him. The young sons Cheng Yan and Sun Chengxiao were divided into liehous. The imperial court was about to take Cheng Yu as the third duke, but Cheng Yu died at this time, and Cao Pi was also weeping for it, posthumously gifting the general of the chariot. He said that Su Hou lived eighty. His son Cheng Wu is the heir. After Cheng Wu's death, his son Cheng Ke took over. After Cheng Ke's death, his son Cheng Liang became the heir.

In the first year of Qinglong (233), Cheng Yu was enshrined in Cao Cao's temple. ）

Jin Liang snorted coldly: "When the situation is clear, he will come to vote for me again, how can I reuse him"

"Chen Liupingqiu native Mao Jue, now a Pingqiu County official, known for his honesty and fairness, recruited him for the first time. He refused on the grounds that he had never heard of the lord's reputation, and went to conquer him a second time. He has gone to the plains to Cao Cao."

Jin Liang shook his head, and sighed in his heart, Mao Jue, Mao Jue, don't you know that you were killed by Cao Cao like Cui Yan in your last life, and you have to rush to death, forget it, Lao Tzu is too lazy to stop you

Jin Liang asked again: "Why did Liang Xi refuse to come?" ”

Chen Lin said with a wry smile: "What the lord said is Liang Xi, a native of Zhexian County, Chen County? He is only fifteen years old, and his parents are reluctant to let him come to Xiangyang.

Jin Liang waved his hand: "Okay, it's not too late to recruit him when he grows up, by the way, you have to send people to pay close attention to the movements of Cheng Yu, Liang Xi and others, once they have plans to become officials, they must send people to conquer as soon as possible."

Jin Liang is very much looking forward to Liang Xi, because Liang Xi is a very competent pastor in his mind, and Jin Liang is also ready to let Liang Xi replace him after Zhu Jun's death, the only thing that he can't count is that Liang Xi's age is so young.

(Liang Xi (?) -230), Ziyu, a native of Chenjun Zhe (now Shangqiu Zhecheng). At first, he was the county lord Bo, and was later appointed as the county commander by Cao Cao, and was promoted to the rank of Sikong Xi Cao Lingshi because of his political achievements. Later, he was appointed to assassinate the history of the state and seal the internal marquis.

Liang Xi first served as an official in Chenjun (present-day Zhecheng), and his local virtue was exemplary. When Cao Cao was appointed as Sikong, he was appointed as the magistrate of Zhangxian County, and later successively served as the commander of Chengshi, Haixi and Xiapi counties, and became famous for his outstanding political achievements and had a high reputation in local governance. Later, he was relocated to the prime minister of Xi Cao Lingshi and Xi Cao.

In the eleventh year of Jian'an (206), Cao Cao defeated the Gaogan who had not surrendered for a long time and rebelled, and completely occupied the state, so he appointed Liang Xi to temporarily lead the state assassin with Sima of other departments. At that time, the state had just experienced war, and the Hu Di foreign tribe was rampant on the state border, and many officials and people defected to the Hu Di tribe. There are even more wealthy clans in the state who support their own troops and constantly invade the localities. After Liang Xi took office, he used the Huairou policy to persuade and induce the local wealthy clans, summoned them with etiquette, and recommended them to serve in the shogunate. After subduing the right gate of each tycoon, he requisitioned the strong men of each family in turn, forced them to join the army of the imperial court, and filled the ranks that were about to go out to serve as brave forces. After they set out on the expedition, they gradually moved their families to Yecheng as hostages. As for those who resisted and disobeyed the dispatch, they were all defeated and eliminated by the army, and more than 1,000 people were beheaded. After the envy, tens of thousands of people in the state flocked to join him.

Liang Xi also forced the Xiongnu Shan Yu and the kings of the various tribes to surrender, and then incorporated them into the household registration and served in the state. Liang Xi's series of policies restored the social order in the prefecture, the border was cleared, the people were relieved to persuade the farmers diligently, and the promulgation of decrees could achieve the effect of ordering and prohibiting.

In addition, Liang Xi recommended to the imperial court reclusive celebrities who had taken refuge in Bingzhou, such as Chang Lin, Yang Jun, Wang Xiang, Xun Wei and Wang Ling, and Cao Cao gave them official positions, and they were later famous all over the world. The local elders all praised Liang Xi, believing that they had never heard of anyone who was as capable as Liang Xi. Cao Cao admired Liang Xi's well-organized management of the state, and later officially appointed Liang Xi as the assassin of the state.

Yuyan, the leader of the Xianbei tribe, was often troubled by the border of Bingzhou, and once Yuyan led more than 5,000 horsemen of his tribe into the territory of Bingzhou, so that people could meet Liang Xi, hoping that the two sides could trade with each other at the border. Liang Xi believes that if he does not listen to his words, he will attract resentment; If they are allowed to trade in the state, they are afraid that the Xianbei cavalry will plunder the people. So Liang Xi promised to trade with Yuyan in an empty city on the one hand, and on the other hand, he ordered the counties to do a good job of defense, and then he and the state officials led the army to trade. Before the city change was completed, the official in charge of the city change arrested a Hu man. Yu Yan was shocked and ordered the Xianbei cavalry to set up arrows and bend bows, besieging Liang Xi and others several times, and the officials on the spot were terrified and at a loss. Liang Xi then slowly called the official in charge of the city and asked him why he had arrested the Hu people before, and the officials reported that the Hu people had forcibly violated the people. Liang Xi then called on Yu Yan to come out and negotiate. After the rearing is postponed. Liang Xi scolded on the spot: "You Hu people broke the law first. But the officials have not invaded you, how dare you order the cavalry to intimidate us? After that, he was killed on the spot, and the rest of the Hu people were too frightened to move. Since then, no Hu people have dared to enter the state of Kou.

In the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213), because the state was merged into Jingzhou, Liang Xi was transferred to Yilang and the governor of the western region, which directly belonged to Cao Cao, the pastor of Jingzhou, and still commanded the original army. Liang Xi later added two Tuntian Governors to the table, and led 600 people to plant crops on the roadside for people and livestock to use. Later Shan served in the court. There is no war in the northwest, which is the merit of Liang Xi.

In the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217), Cao Cao returned to Chang'an after capturing Hanzhong, leaving the cavalry governor of Taiyuan Wuhuan King Luxi, and asked him to lead the army to Tunchiyang and prepare for it in Lushui. Lu Xi has a beloved wife who lives in Jinyang. Lu Xi missed his wife very much, and was afraid that he would not be able to return to meet him in the future, so he rebelled with his 500 cavalry and returned to the state. After arriving in Bingzhou, Lu Xi left his cavalry to hide in the valley, and he rode into Jinyang alone. Secretly took his wife out of the city. When the state and county officials found out, they did not dare to pursue because they were afraid of Lu Xi's good shooting. When Liang Xi found out, he ordered the state to engage Zhang Jing to recruit Xianbei knights to chase Lu Xi. Ruxi's mount was late with its load. In the future, before he could join his people, he was caught up with the Xianbei knight and shot to death. Cao Cao had heard of Lu Xi's rebellion and was very worried that it would become a bandit to the north in the future. Later, he heard that Liang Xi had sent someone to kill him, Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he was named the Marquis of Guan Nei with the credit of Liang Xi before and after.

After Cao Pi became emperor, he once again divided the state, reappointed Liang Xi as the assassin of the state, and was named the Marquis of Shenmen Pavilion.

In the sixth year of the early Huang dynasty (225), Liang Xi led the army to fight against Kebineng and broke it.

In the second year of Taihe (228), he entered the dynasty as the great Si Nong. Liang Xi has served in Bingzhou for more than 20 years, and his political achievements are often the first in the world, but his family has no money to spare, and there are no valuable items in his residence. Later Liang Xi died in the fourth year of Taihe (230). ）

In fact, Jin Liang's measures to the family in Jingzhou and Bingzhou are similar to Liang Xi's measures, Jin Liang also first summoned the heads of various families with etiquette, recommended the children of the family to serve in the imperial court and local governments, and then took advantage of the compromise of these families for their official positions, and requisitioned and sent soldiers from each family to the central army

Chen Lin said again: "Xuzhou's Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Mi Zhu, Chen Qi, and Chen Deng all refused to come, but the lord didn't need to mind

Zhang Zhaosheng "sexual" Qing Gao, Xuzhou assassin Shi Tao Qian admired Zhang Zhao, but Zhang Zhao refused, Tao Qian thought that Zhang Zhao despised him, so Zhang Zhao was imprisoned, and was later rescued by Zhao Yu, a driver in Xuzhou, before being released

Zhang Hong, who was promoted to Maocai, was opened by the public government, and he took refuge in Jiangdong, so it is not surprising that he did not come to Xiangyang this time

That Mi Zhu is a rich man in Xuzhou, with a family fortune of more than 100 million yuan, and a big family, so he naturally refuses to abandon his family and business to come to Xiangyang."

Jin Liang said with a smile: "Kong Zhang, you are too worried, these three will not come to Xiangyang, it is already in my expectation, but Kong Zhang, you have tried hard to persuade me to conquer Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son, but they have treated me coldly, I deeply think Kong Zhang, you are not worth it" According to the report of those soldiers who went to conquer Chen and his son, Chen Qi and his son all smiled contemptuously after reading Chen Lin's letter, discarded them on the ground, and ordered people to drive those soldiers out of Chen's mansion

A trace of resentment flashed across Chen Lin's face: "Chen Qi is the grandson of Chen Kang, the Taishou Chen of Guanghan, the nephew of Taiwei Chen Qiu, the brother of Chen Yu of Wujun and Chen Cong of Ruyin

Chen Qi is recuperating at home this time, even if he is not sick, I am afraid that he will stay in Xuzhou to be the emperor of the soil, and will not come to Xiangyang to condescend to others

Although Chen Deng is a child of the family, but also very capable, he is well-read, elegant and literary, knowledgeable, resourceful, twenty-five years old, filial piety, in addition to Dongyang Chang, raising the elderly and orphans, treating the people as injuries, and then moving to the agricultural school captain, building agriculture, accumulating rice This person relies on the door, and has the ability, arrogant and self-contained, no one in his eyes, unruly, the lord is a cold military general, I think that Chen Qi Chen Deng father and son must not put the lord in his eyes"

Jin Liang chuckled: "Kong Zhang, I know that you are very disgusted with the words and deeds of Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son, so I will say this, what you said is also the truth, I originally hated these two people very much, and now I am disgusted, if there is an opportunity to enter Xuzhou in the future, Chen Qi Chen Deng and his son must not be rampant, but now we don't need to spread our dislike of Chen Qi and his son, right, Tai Shici, a native of Donglai, Qingzhou, and Wang Xiu, Xu Gan, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan and others from Beihai can come?" ”

Chen Lin said with a smile: "Tai Shi Ci offended the state capital. has taken refuge in Liaodong. The soldier we sent had already taken his mother to Xiangyang. Tai Shi Ci served his mother to filial piety, and when he learned that his mother was in Xiangyang, he would inevitably come to Xiangyang, and as for the sages of Beihai, they did not want to come to Xiangyang."

Jin Liang frowned: "What are the reasons?" ”

"When we first went to recruit Wang Xiu, he was studying in Nanyang and was temporarily staying at Zhang Feng's house, where Zhang Feng's family was sick and had no one to take care of him. Wang Xiu personally took care of him until he recovered, and we went to conquer for the second time, Wang Xiu has been called by Kong Rong as the master of the Beihai Xiang, Wang Xiu is grateful for Kong Rong's kindness, so he doesn't want to come."

Jin Liang knew that Wang Xiu was famous in history for rectifying the wealthy families of the big families, and intended to appoint him as a county guard to rectify the local wealthy families. Then entrust it with a heavy responsibility

Chen Lin said: "Since the first emperor favored the ten permanent servants, the children of the family have formed a party and power. Competing to chase fame, Xu Gan kept his own doors, lived in poor alleys, did not follow customs, and repeatedly refused to conquer the government and the state and county.

Jin Liang thought that he already had Chen Lin, Lu Cui, Ruan Yu, Cai Yan and many other talented people around him, although Xu Gan was one of the seven sons of Jian'an, but he was good at poetry and prose, he was far inferior to Chen Lin, Ruan Yu, Lu Cui and others in political articles, he did not come to vote, Jin Liang was not rare, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty had been declared a puppet emperor by Jin Liang, and his Jian'an era name could not be reproduced, and the so-called seven sons of Jian'an could not be reproduced

"As for Guan Ning and Bing Yuan's generation, they have already taken refuge in Liaodong with Taiyuan Wang Lie and others, and the lord's letter of conquest was sent to Liaodong, but it was ignored by Guan Ning and Bing Yuan, and it is said that Guan Ning and Bing Yuan's generation studied privately in Liaodong, explaining the "Book of Songs", "Book of Books", talking about rituals, rectifying prestige, Chen Ming and other teachings, which won the hearts of the people, so he was deeply dissatisfied with the lord's great revival of official learning" Chen Lin revered Jin Liang more and more, and respected him like a god, and he did not have any good feelings for those who ignored and despised the lord

Jin Liang smiled faintly and said: "I have heard that Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, and Wang Lie are all studying from Yingchuan Chen Yu, such well-educated people, in Liaodong and other barbarian places, can implement the Confucian education of our Han people, so that we can collect the border land in the future, Guan Ning and others have made great contributions, since they are not willing to come to us to be officials, let them spend their lives in the border areas to promote the education of our Han Dynasty."

Jin Liang has no good impression of Chen Yu, Chen Ji, and Chen Qun, the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren, and has always felt that they are the children of a sanctimonious family, especially Chen Qun's "Nine Grades of Zhongzheng System", which makes Jin Liang hate it to the core, because he hates Chen Yu who says that the thief is a gentleman on the Liang, Jin Liang has no good opinion of Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Wang Lie and other lonely and self-proclaimed people, but Jin Liang does not deny that they do have merit in promoting education

Jin Liang asked again: "What about those Jingzhou talents?" ”

Chen Lin sighed: "Only the divine doctor Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing came to Xiangyang after receiving a letter from the lord who wanted to appoint him as the imperial doctor, and the others, such as Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Li Tong, and Li Yan, all refused."

Jin Liang already knew a little, but he still asked, "Why did they refuse to be drafted?" ”

Chen Lin replied: "Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue is the late Qin debater Kuai Tong's descendants, the Kuai family is one of the top two wealthy families in Jingzhou, Kuai Liang is proficient in astronomy, extremely good at Xiang Ma Kuai Yue is deep in wisdom, Kui Jie and majestic, the general He Jin heard the name of Kuai Yue, and set it off as Dong Cao Peng, Kuai Yue had persuaded He Jin to punish all the eunuchs, He Jin hesitated and knew that He Jin could not succeed, but sought to be Ruyang to order me to see it, the lord wants to get Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers as the next, it is necessary to get Jingzhou, otherwise Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers will not give up their family business”

Jin Liang nodded, although he never understood why Cao Cao wrote a book with Xun Yuyun, "I don't like Jingzhou, I like to be different", but he felt that Liu Biao, with the assistance of Kuailiang and Kuaiyue brothers, rode Jingzhou alone and protected Jingzhou Under the invasion of Cao Cao, Sun Ce and many other strong enemies, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, which is enough to prove that the wisdom of this Kuailiang and Kuaiyue brothers is extraordinary, but this Kuailiang and Kuaiyue brothers are the same as Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son. If they are willing to give advice to Jin Liang wholeheartedly and give up the oppression of the local people, Jin Liang is still willing to let them go, and the < people are famous in Jiangru as a ranger, and Chen Gong, a native of the same county, raised troops to fight against the Yellow Turbans, and there are many followers, they have an ally Zhou Zhi, with more than 2,000 people under his command, and want to annex Li Tong and Chen Gong, Li Tong decided to strike first, Chen Gong was indecisive, Li Tong designed alone, invited Zhou Zhi to drink, and Zhou Zhi was drunk. Kill it. After embezzling Zhou Zhi's people, Chen Gong was later killed by his wife's brother Chen He. It was broken by Li Tong, and the head of Chen Gong was sacrificed on Chen Gong's grave, and then Li Tongsheng captured the Yellow Turban Marshal Wu Ba and surrendered to his people, but encountered a catastrophe and famine, Li Tong scattered his family wealth to buy dregs and shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, so the soldiers used their lives, and the Yellow Turbans did not dare to offend the lord, and local powerful forces like Li Tong must not be willing to go out of the local area. Li Tong can only surrender if he is beaten by the lord to Jiangxia" Chen Lin investigated these people who refused to be requisitioned by the lord in detail, and he knew that the lord would definitely ask

Jin Liang couldn't help but think of the Zang Ba in his history who listened to the tune and didn't listen to the announcement, and seemed to be an ally of his subordinates, Zang Ba was originally subordinate to Tao Qian, broke the Yellow Turban that invaded Xuzhou, and worshiped as a cavalry captain, and later Zang Ba was dissatisfied with Tao Qian, and Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and other gathered troops, Zang Ba was the commander, stationed in the Kaiyang area. became the overlord of his own side, and then became an ally with Jin Liang. Jointly deal with Cao Cao, after Jin Liang was eliminated by Cao Cao in that period of history, Cao Cao wanted to deal with Yuan Shao, and did not dare to encroach on Zang Ba's tribes, but took Zang Ba as the evil appearance, and appointed Wu Dun and others, cut Qing and Xu Erzhou appointed Zang Ba, until Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Tan and completely pacified the north, Zang Ba obediently sent himself and the families of the generals under his command to Xu Du as hostages

Cao Cao dealt with Li Tong, Zhang Xiu and other local separatist forces are like this, before getting rid of Yuan Shao, tolerate your existence, and after getting rid of Yuan Shao, you must obediently submit, the so-called surrender and rebellion are nothing like that

Whether Jin Liang will also adopt the same method as Cao Cao in the future, it is difficult to say now

"As for Li Yan, he is only thirteen years old, and his parents are reluctant to let their son go to Xiangyang, thousands of miles away."

Jin Liang had no interest in Li Yan, who was not in the right mind and was friends with the bad Meng Da, and he didn't send anyone to continue to follow him

Jin Liang asked again: "What about the talents in Liangzhou and Yongzhou?" ”

Chen Lin's face stiffened, and his face sank like water: "Du Yi serves his stepmother to filial piety, Dong Zhuo is a disaster Jingzhao, Du Yi has taken refuge in Jingzhou with his stepmother, I have sent soldiers to look for it many times, just now there are some traces, he and Zhao Yan are friends, both of them are capable ministers, the lord cannot be missed, and he can send someone to conquer it"

Du Yi's ancestors are Du Zhou and Du Yannian, and his grandson is the famous Du Pre, and Du Yi is a capable minister in governing the world, especially in Hedong County, Jin Liang is ready to transfer the guard to covet the household department, so he wants Du Ji to be the Taishou of Hedong, how can he hide in Jingzhou now, I don't know if he can find him in the third expedition and invite him to Jingzhou

"Zhang Ji, although he was born in a poor family, his family is very wealthy, and he has good looks, at the age of sixteen, he served as a small official in Feng Yi County, and later was repeatedly promoted, and was promoted by the county as filial piety, but he did not go to the capital to enter the Lang Office as an official, and was still in his hometown Feng Yi County as a county official, he also repeatedly refused our expedition according to the judgment of his subordinates, Zhang Ji tried to let his Zhang family under his care, become the family of Feng Yi County, he has regarded Feng Yi County as his power territory, and is working hard"

Jin Liang agreed with Chen Lin's judgment, not only Zhang Ji, but most of the children of the family or the children of the Hanshu during the Three Kingdoms period attached great importance to the management of the family, and they would give priority to the forces near the family, and enhance the strength of the family through the appearance of the lord who was thousands of miles away, even if he was awesome, he would not be looked down upon by them

Jin Liang was extremely disgusted by this situation, but he had to admit that it was because Su Ze and Yang Fu in Liangzhou and Dong He and Qin Mi in Yizhou, and Liu Ye and Lu Su in Yangzhou were all like this

Chen Lin continued: "Pang De of Nan'an County, Liangzhou was originally engaged in Nan'an County and Liangzhou, and later followed Wuwei Taishou Ma Teng and served as a lieutenant under his account

Yan Yan of Yizhou has been reused by Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, and now Liu Yan is serving as a lieutenant under his account, and he has categorically refused our call."

Jin Liang didn't have much hope for recruiting Pang De and Yan Yan, what he cared about was another fierce general: "Is Gan Ning here?" ”

Chen Lin shook his head: "Since the lord ordered someone to conquer Gan Ning, he should know his details, Gan Ning was originally a Jinfan thief who crisscrossed between Bashu and Jingchu, but just a few months ago, he suddenly changed his mind, read through the hundred schools of Zhuzi, and accepted the recommendation of Shen Mi and Lou Fa, the local heroes of Yizhou, to become the Cheng of Shu County, which can be said to be full of ambition, and he was unwilling to leave his homeland of Bashu and come to Xiangyang, which is thousands of miles away."

Jin Liang smiled faintly and asked, "How is Yizhou Mu Liu Yan's health?" ”

Chen Lin was stunned, didn't understand what Jin Liang meant, and replied truthfully: "Old and old, and I have carbuncles, I'm afraid I won't have a few years to live."

Jin Liang said in a deep voice: "I want to develop the water division and seek to capture Jiangnan, Gan Ning is the vanguard who commands the water division, you go to Jia Xu of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and ask him to send people to keep a close eye on the situation in Yizhou, and Liu Yan will die." There will inevitably be riots in Yizhou. At that time, it was the best time to get Gan Ning, and what about the talents of Yangzhou? ”

Chen Lin replied: "Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are giant thieves in Jiujiang. Gathering thousands of water thieves, crisscrossing the Jianghuai, rampant for a while, Zhou Tai replied, do not learn the water and soil in the north, only willing to live in the south of the Yangtze River, if the lord army to the south of the Yangtze River, he Zhou Tai must look at the scenery

Chen Wu's family is a wealthy family in Songzi, Lujiang County. Chen Wu is benevolent, likes to give alms, many villagers and guests from afar have come to take refuge in him, there are 2,000 people under his command, his rhetoric is the same as Zhou Tai, unwilling to leave the Lujiang area

Ling Cao is chivalrous and courageous, and is the hero of Yuhang in Wu County, many villagers are attached to him, and his subordinates are more than 1,000, and they are unwilling to go north

The He Qi family is a member of the Huiji Sanyin clan. He Qi was a county official and a county magistrate. He was appointed as the Taimo Commander, who had a good career and was unwilling to go north

Liu Ye is the son of Emperor Guangwu after Liu Yan, the king of Fuling, the Liu family in Huainan Chengde is a rich family, Runan Xu Shao once passed by Huainan, saw Liu Ye, said that he has the talent of the world, since then, Liu Ye has become famous, the government and local states and counties have been repeatedly requisitioned, all rejected by Liu Ye, in my opinion, Liu Ye is still in the insight into the world

Lu Su's family is a wealthy family in Linhuai, with nearly 1,000 people under his command, Lu Su lost his father at a young age, and he was raised by his grandmother, and now his grandmother is old, and he has to take care of him at home, so he has repeatedly refused to be requisitioned by the government and local states and counties."

Jin Liang's face turned green: "Among the talents in Zhuzhou County, aren't there a few who are willing to defect to my Jin Liang?" ”

Chen Lin said with a smile: "Lord, in fact, there are some talents from various states and counties, but most of them are not in the lord's list of talents, and in fact, there are nearly 20 people who have agreed to the lord's conquest."

Jin Liang was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Are those virtuous people?" ”

Chen Lin smiled and pointed to the Zhaoxian Hall: "Although there are more than 20 people in the lord's book of great Han virtues who have agreed to come to Xiangyang, due to the long distance, there are only six or seven people who have arrived in Xiangyang now. ”

Jin Liangmai walked into the Zhaoxian Hall, Chen Lin hurriedly ordered people to submit the registered roster, Jin Liang opened it and took a look, there were a total of five hundred and forty-seven people, Jin Liang recognized nine, namely Zhuge Xuan, a native of Yangdu, Langxie County, Xuzhou, and his nephews Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang, Fa Yan and his son Fa Zheng from Meixian County, Fufeng County, Yongzhou, Ma Jun, a person from Yingchuan Yangzhai in Yuzhou, Liang Mao from Changyi, Shanyang, Yanzhou, and Cui Yan from Dongwucheng, Qinghe, Jingzhou.

Jin Liang took the roster and looked happy: "I didn't expect so many talented people to come here to admire my name!" ”

Chen Lin looked at Jin Liang with a smug look, and couldn't help but say: "Lord, Zhuge Xuan came because the lord elected him as the Taishou of Wei County, and the status of Wei County Taishou in the current court is no less than that of Henan Yin in the past, Zhuge Xuan is naturally willing; Fa Yan came because the lord elected him as one of the nine kings; Ma Jun's family is poor, and he has stuttering disease, and he has been repeatedly blinded by the world, but the lord is blue-eyed, and he has given the Central Army Ordnance Cao and the position of Langzhong of the Cabinet Ministry of Labor, which can be described as a leap into the dragon gate, Ma Jun is grateful to Dade, how could he not come; Zao only came because of a joint letter from his fellow countrymen Guo Jia and Xu Shu, and the lord was ready to give him the post of lieutenant of Tuntian; Liang Mao came because he was recommended by his fellow countrymen and friends; Cui Yan was recommended by his fellow villager and friend Zhu Ling. ”

Suffering from Chen Lin's blunt blow, Jin Liang was not worried, but laughed and said: "No matter what, they are here!" As long as they come, I have the confidence to let them stay and serve the court wholeheartedly. Jin Liang does not say that these people are working for him Jin Liang, but in fact, these people have to bow and do their best for his imperial hegemony.

Jin Liang looked at the unknown talents who came to join him, and Chen Lin indicated his hometown, family background, and talent after each name.

As Jin Liang expected, most of these talents are from the Hanmen Shu clan, most of them are good at martial arts, and some are also proficient in the art of war, maybe this is related to Jin Liang's martial arts style that is greater than that of Wenzhi.

Jin Liang put down the roster, looked up at the sky outside the Zhaoxian Hall, the night was already falling, and sighed: "Kong Zhang, you see that it is getting late, why don't I come to meet them tomorrow." ”

Chen Lin shook his head: "Lord, there are many of them waiting for the lord to summon them, they have been waiting for more than 20 days, and if they continue to wait, I am afraid that some people will be discouraged and leave Xiangyang, which will be a great loss for my Central Army." ”

Jin Liang thought about it for a while, and compared his heart to his heart, if he was the one who went to seek an official, the top leader did not leave his face for more than half a month, and the heads of other departments had no right to arrange for him, and he would be cold if he kept hanging himself.

Chen Lin saw that Jin Liang was in thought, thinking that he was worried about his wife and daughter at home and wanted to return home in a hurry, and he couldn't be too disobedient as a subordinate, so he smiled and said: "Lord, you just need to meet with them, make a guarantee with them, let them feel at ease, and then take the time to meet with them one by one in detail." ”

Jin Liang frowned: "Didn't I nominate Zhuge Xuan as the Taishou of Wei County and Fa Yan as the court captain?" If they don't take office, why do they stay in the recruitment hall? ”

A strange smile appeared on Chen Lin's face: "Lord, don't you know, according to the imperial court system, the recommended person must be accompanied by the recommender to meet the boss, and the recommender must also make a letter of guarantee before the recommended person can take office, and if the lord does not return to Xiangyang for a day, they will not be able to take office for a day." ”

Jin Liang asked in surprise, "Who set up this system?" ”

"It was jointly established by Taifu Lu Zhi, Taishi Cai Yong, and Taibao Ma Riyan, and the official document was also sent to Hedong to be confirmed by the lord, who was trapped by Wei Zhongdao at that time, so he put it on hold, but it has begun to be implemented here in Xiangyang."

Jin Liang thought that the corruption of officials during the harmonious period of the Later Qing Dynasty had a lot to do with the system of no recommendation, and thought that after those corrupt officials and corrupt officials were discovered, the upper leaders who had ensured that they had benefited from them before that were safe and sound, how could such a top-down vertical recommendation and appointment system without restraint not be produced?

However, in the Xiangyang Imperial Court, Jin Liang was most affected by this recommendation system, and the number of recommended talents was far inferior to Jin Liang. These generals under Jin Liang's command, except for Gao Shun, Zhao Yun and a few other people with more perfect personalities, other generals have many flaws in the four virtues, if they are held by political enemies, Jin Liang may not be able to face the world in the future, unable to gain a foothold in the court, and those big families are afraid that they will call him the second Dong Zhuo.

Jin Liang thought about the negative attitude of Lu Zhi, Ma Riyan, Yang Biao and others on Jin Liang's marriage to Cai Yan today, and Jin Liang was vigilant. (To be continued.) )
