Western Regions, Yanqi City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the war in the Western Regions was far from over, Xu Rong began to capture Xianbei slaves in the Jinlianchuan area, and in June, someone found a large open-pit coal mine in the Zhangye area, and Jia Xu had allocated 20,000 Xiongnu slaves from Hetao to mine, but in order to get enough coal in Yongliang and even the Hetao area to survive the winter, more labor needs to be invested.
The Han people under the rule of Lu Bu are treasures, not to mention Lu Bu, Jia Xu is not willing to let these Han people go to mining, therefore, not only the Western Regions, Hetao and even Xiliang have also sent troops, and now the grassland has become a pot of porridge, and various tribes have grabbed territory, like a plate of loose sand, at this time, the Xianbei people are undoubtedly the best to deal with, almost a tribe and a tribe were taken back as slaves, as little as four or five hundred, as many as five or six thousand, from the Western Regions to Zhangye on the road, a large number of Xianbei slaves can be seen everywhere to be escorted to Zhangye, In order to prevent these slave riots, Xu Rongshengsheng asked Ma Dai and 10,000 soldiers and horses from Ma Chao, and he also sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to suppress these Xianbei people.
On the city wall, Zhao Yun silently watched the groups of Xianbei slaves walking towards the south miserably, there was not much disgust in his heart, there was just an indescribable pride.
Since Chen Tang shouted this sentence out back then, it sounded so heroic, but over the years, there has never been a moment when Zhao Yun can be in the same mood as this sentence, but Lu Bu did it, even more ruthless than the champion Hou of the year, Huo Quzhi was only a wolf Juxu back then, but unfortunately he couldn't make greater achievements.
And Lu Bu has not only achieved the sealing of the wolf Juxu, but also further expanded, if this continues, in a few decades or hundreds of years, the Xianbei people may be extinct.
"Zilong, what do you want?" Pang Tong shook the wine jug, walked over from the city wall, reached Zhao Yun's side, glanced at the city, and suddenly picked up and retreated, this action made Zhao Yun a little ridiculous, this Mr. Shiyuan has great talent, but more often than not, he shows that he doesn't have a brain, since he is afraid of heights, don't sit up, sit up, hold on and don't retract, but it is precisely because of this that he can mix with Lu men like Zhao Yun in the army.
"Shi Yuan, in a few days, I'm leaving." Zhao Yun looked at Pang Tongyi's eyes, and then looked out of the city.
"Let's go? Where to? Pang Tong looked at Zhao Yun and said strangely.
"I don't know." Zhao Yun looked at the distant sky and said blankly: "Go and fulfill a promise." ”
"Based on your performance in the Western Regions, Lu Bu will at least give you the status of a miscellaneous general, why do you want to leave? Not good here? Pang Tong looked at Zhao Yun puzzled, but saw that Zhao Yun also looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?" Something on my face? ”
"Nope." Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "It's just Shiyuan, haven't you always been disdainful of Wen Hou and always want to leave?" ”
"That's me." Pang Tong shook his head and said: "Lu Bu does not blend in with the world, I am a disciple of the sect lord, and being loyal to him is equivalent to turning my back on the family." ”
"Does it really matter if you have a different family? Heroes don't ask about their origins, four hundred years ago, how many of these current families have origins. Zhao Yun looked at Pang Tong puzzled.
"Hehe, you can't say that." Pang Tong leaned on the city wall and stomped on it, looked at the sky and said: "Rules are such things, they are all about breaking the old and setting up the new, these things are very troublesome to tell you, in short, tell you one thing, what Lu Bu has to do now is bigger than Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, he wants to break this inherent thing, so he will stand on the opposite side of the family, this kind of thing, from ancient times to the present, can only end when one party is completely destroyed." ”
"If you put these things aside, what does Shi Yuan think of Wen Hou?" Zhao Yun shook his head, he couldn't understand these things, although Zhao Yun was also from a strong background, but he hadn't risen to the level of a soldier, so he couldn't understand this kind of thing.
"Savage, rude, domineering, but like a man!" Pang Tong poured himself a sip of wine, squinted his eyes and smiled: "His character is strong, but looking at his slaughter of the family, it can be seen, I heard that he was betrayed and played by the family when he was in Xuzhou, so he also had a hatred for the family." ”
"However, the strength of a force is not only determined by the family and the princes." Pang Tong pondered and said: "I have carefully studied the various policies implemented by Lu Bu in various places, although they are not the same, but in the final analysis, there are only four words. ”
Zhao Yun said with interest: "Which four words?" ”
"Put the people first!" Pang Tong looked at Zhao Yun and said with a smile: "There is no reason for suppressing the family, because the existence of the family is itself a kind of existence that destroys the balance, the family and the country are all over the world, this is the principle of our family, first there is a family, then there is a country, and under this premise, it will share the worries for the monarch, but even if there is a family first, it is invisibly, when acting, it will unconsciously favor its own family, and invisibly, it is deprived of things from the people, such as fields, food, etc." ”
"Isn't that a cancer in the family?" It was the first time Zhao Yun had heard this kind of statement, and it was from the mouth of a person from a family.
"There are no absolutes in the world, one thing, if there is good, there must be bad, and vice versa." Pang Tong said with a smile: "In the ruler class, there is a saying, called foolish people and easy to win, the words themselves are not difficult to understand, and the role of the family is to help the emperor and help the lord to promote these things, the family not only controls a lot of money and food, population, but also controls public opinion, whether a person is good or not, with it, it is all here, and what Lu Bu wants to do now is to break this rule, he is opening up the wisdom of the people little by little!" In the long run, although it is beneficial to the country, it is equivalent to cutting off the most fundamental thing of the family little by little, which is an irreconcilable contradiction, if Lu Bu is in power, but the great sorrow of the world's family, what is even more terrible is that Lu Bu is too patient, he is not like Wang Mang back then, the decree is promoted to the whole country little by little, but from the territory in his own hands, a little bit of promotion, very careful, very stable, plus now the Yongliang family is withering, the Western Regions, Hetao is the world of Lu Bu's family, and it also provides a good environment for Lu Bu. ”
"Isn't there a middle ground?" Zhao Yun frowned.
"Of course there is, Lu Bu is also doing it now." Pang Tong said.
"Oh?" Zhao Yun looked at Pang Tong.
"Chang'an Academy is for the family." Pang Tong smiled bitterly: "Although I don't quite understand Lu Bu's plan, but at the beginning of the year, Lu Bu set up a county school, I think there should be a backhand, little by little to promote education to the county and even the township, at the same time, Chang'an Academy is different from the county school, there are various requirements for those who enroll, or the county school graduates, or the children of meritorious officials, I think it is for the future to take refuge in Lu Bu or Lu Bu's current subordinates after providing a smooth career path, the future children of the family or the children of meritorious ministers can directly enter the Chang'an Academy, It is bound to be easier to get into the office than for ordinary people. ”
"Then why ......" Zhao Yun looked at Pang Tong blankly, since Lu Bu had prepared the way for the family, why was the family still opposed to Lu Bu.
"It's very simple, if a person has ten thousand hectares of fertile land, and suddenly, he wants you to give up nine thousand tilts, but you are still a rich person, will you agree?" Pang Tong said with a smile: "This is the most fundamental reason, and Zilong has found that under Lu Bu's rule, the status of craftsmen is constantly improving, and even merchants can now gain a certain amount of respect." ”
What does this mean? It is good that the craftsmen provided the soldiers with excellent armor and weapons, and the merchants also brought great profits, making the people richer. Zhao Yun shook his head.
"Shinong industry and commerce, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, improve the status of these people, the status of the invisible sergeant will be reduced, not only that, Lu Bu has now vigorously used the Legalist and Mojia, and there may be others in the future, Lu Bu This is to reproduce the contention of a hundred schools, its ambition is not small, but the resistance is unprecedented, take a wrong step, it is a catastrophe." Although Pang Tong said this, his eyes flashed with excitement.
"In that case, why don't Shi Yuan go with me to find the Lord?" Zhao Yun looked at Pang Tongdao.
"I want to go too." Pang Tong looked at Zhao Yun: "But you have to go, don't tell me that you are willing to do it with the crazy woman of the Lu family." ”
Zhao Yun heard this, the corners of his mouth gave birth to a touch of bitterness, an unspeakable boredom welled up in his heart, in the Western Regions for half a year, with Lu Lingqi's side, I saw Lu Lingqi's somewhat brutal appearance, hiding that tenacious and courageous heart, the two fought side by side, several times in danger to rescue each other, feelings unconsciously, have already taken root, sprout, and grow in the depths of the heart, when Lu Bu broke Xianbei and wrote the adverbial that made Longcheng Fei general, and did not teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain, Zhao Yun had the impulse, so he stayed in the Western Regions and accompanied Lu Lingqi, Follow Lu Bu's example and make a name for himself.
"Seriously, who the hell is your master? Let you rather let go of the future, although Lu Bu has all kinds of external difficulties, but internally, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, faults must be punished, the rule of the officials is clear, if Zilong wants to make a difference, the princes of the world, for you, Lu Bu is the best choice, as long as you have the ability, he can give you everything you are qualified to have. Pang Tong frowned.
"Liu Bei, Xuande Gong." Zhao Yun muttered a little distractedly: "Back then, I met Xuande Gong under the command of General Bo Jue of Youzhou, and we were like-minded, and we once promised that if he left Youzhou one day, he would go to the same place." ”
"Liu Bei?" Pang Tong frowned, in the past half a year, he has also heard this name more than once, shook his head and said: "Zilong can think about it, if he votes for Lu Bu, he will be famous all over the world in the future, and he will be a marquis and a general, but if it is Liu Bei, Zilong will be difficult to do in this life." ”
For Liu Bei and his people, Pang Tong doesn't know much, and it's not good to evaluate, but at present, the north has become a three-point pattern, and under the squeeze of the three major forces, if Liu Bei is in the north, it is impossible to do anything, but if he is in the south, even if he does something in the future, Zhao Yun's ability can be wasted.
"A gentleman, how can you abandon it because of foreign things?" Zhao Yun smiled: "A man is born in the world, and he must fulfill his promises, how can he judge people by being poor and rich?" ”
Idiot!
Pang Tong pursed his lips and scolded disdainfully, but he respected Zhao Yun's personality a little more in his heart, such a person can be regarded as a real gentleman, right?
"I'm going to leave tomorrow, Miss Lu ...... there" Referring to Lu Lingqi, Zhao Yun only felt a congestion in his throat, and finally said bitterly: "Wang Shiyuan treats me farewell, forgive Yun for saying goodbye." ”
"If you want to say it yourself, I don't care." Pang Tong waved his hand and walked under the city wall, leaving Zhao Yun to look at Pang Tong's back with a wry smile.
bypassed the city wall and was about to go down to the city, but saw Lu Lingqi leaning against the city wall, her eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously just cried, she couldn't help but be stunned, and opened her mouth, but saw Lu Lingqi glaring fiercely and said in a low voice: "If you dare to speak, I will beat you!" ”
Pang Tongyi was suffocated and closed his mouth depressedly, okay, I don't say it, I don't bother to care about these nonsense things of the two of you. (To be continued.) )
