【Broadcast】Pay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
At the same time that Zang Ba's army defeated Liangfu Mountain, Li Yi also led a large army to besiege Kaiyang City, the seat of Langya's national governance. Several other leaders of the Taishan thieves, Chang Xuan, Yin Li, Sun Kang, Wu Dun and others, held the city to the death, hoping that Zang Ba and Sun Guan could achieve victory in Taishan, and forced Li Yi to withdraw the siege of Kaiyang City and return to Taishan County.
However, they were disappointed, and the news of Zang Ba's defeat of Liang's father mountain soon spread back to Kaiyang, Zang Ba disappeared, Sun Guan was captured, and the 30,000-strong army was wiped out.
As a result, there will be chaos in Kaiyang City.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yanzhou, which was dominated by Taishan County, and the mountains and seas of Qingdao and Xuzhou, was a special area. As representatives of the local wealthy clans, the "Taishan Generals" led by Zang Ba defended themselves here, not only rebelling against the government, but also plundering the people, and participating in the suppression of local peasant uprisings, becoming a special force formed in this special area. This force is the so-called "Tarzan thief".
In the past, Zang Ba was the most powerful among the Taishan thieves, with 20,000 elite soldiers, plus the support of the Sun Guan brothers, so he was able to suppress the rest of the people, so he undoubtedly became the leader of the Taishan thieves.
But now, the big leader Zang Ba is missing, and the second leader Sun Guan is captured by the Northern Xinjiang army, and the power of these two people has basically been eliminated. The several leaders who stayed in Kaiyang City were all about the same strength, and everyone was not convinced by each other.
What's more, several leaders also have different opinions about the future of the Tarzan thief. Because Li Yi gave an unconditional surrender, Chang Feng refused to surrender, but Sun Kang was worried that his younger brother's life would be threatened because of his own resistance because of his younger brother Sun Guan's capture, so he advocated accepting Li Yi's conditions and surrendering unconditionally. As for the other two leaders, Yin Li and Wu Dun, they did not have their own opinions. In the two directly and thin mud, but this obviously does not solve the problem.
That night, Sun Kang opened the north gate of Kaiyang City, which he guarded, and let the Northern Xinjiang army enter the city. In this way, Kaiyang City fell into the hands of Li Yi.
However, Chang Xuan was very cunning, and after he fell out with Sun Kang, he felt that the situation was not good, and he didn't sleep at all that night. After learning that Sun Kang opened the north gate of Kaiyang City to welcome the Northern Xinjiang Army into the city. He immediately led several thousand of his men and fled through the east gate of his town.
Li Yi, who entered Kaiyang City, immediately took Yuwen Chengdu and Lu Wenlong in person and led four thousand guards to pursue after learning that Chang Feng had fled. He doesn't have a good impression of Chang Xuan, this person is a typical two-faced and capricious.
The speed of the guards and iron cavalry is naturally not comparable to those rabble under Chang Xuan. Although Chang Feng was ahead of Li Yi, they fled Kaiyang City more than an hour earlier. But Li Yi still only took two hours, and at dawn the next day, he caught up with Changyi's army.
Most of the 5,000 men and horses in Chang Xuan were a rabble, and they were bent on fleeing for their lives at this moment. There is no fighting spirit at all, it can be said that it will collapse at the first touch, and Chang Feng himself does not meet Li Yi at all, under the protection of his personal guards. Desperately fled along the official road next to Yishui to the north.
The war horse that Ke Changyun rode was just an ordinary horse, where could he outrun the divine horse selected from thousands of war horses by Li Yi and others. only escaped a few miles, and was caught up by Yuwen Chengdu and Lu Wenlong. Chang Feng was killed by Yuwen Chengdu, and the guards who fled with him all died at the hands of the hussar guards.
Just when Li Yi asked his subordinates to collect the prisoners and was about to turn back to Kaiyang City, a team of hussar guards came over with a few people.
Li Yi took a look, among the seven people, three of them were obviously dressed as servants, and the remaining four people, one was a middle-aged scribe in his thirties and forties, and the other was a young man who looked seventeen or eighteen, who were also dressed as scribes. The remaining two are both children, one is ten years old, and the other Li Yi is estimated to be four or five years old at most.
Li Yi felt a little strange, what did the guards do when they brought back such a group of people?
After asking the leader of this team of personal guards about the situation, Li Yi's expression was a little strange.
It turned out that the leader of this group of people was the middle-aged scribe in his thirties and forties, named Zhuge Xuan, and the name of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man was not unfamiliar to Li Yi, because his name was Zhuge Jin. As for the ten-year-old little kid, needless to say, it was Zhuge Liang, who was considered to be the embodiment of wisdom in later generations.
Looking at the people in front of him, Li Yi had a feeling that he had no place to find his iron shoes, and it took no effort to get them. At the same time, he was also ashamed of his previous life's practice of reading books without seeking much understanding. Because he only remembered the things described in the famous article "The Teacher's Table", which has been sung through the ages, he preconceived Zhuge Liang as a native of Nanyang. Over the years, the Li Chamber of Commerce has inquired about the whereabouts of Zhuge Liang's family in the Jingxiang area of Nanyang. But I didn't expect that they were not Nanyang people at all. If it weren't for this pursuit of Chang Xuan, I'm afraid I would still be unaware of the low-level mistakes I made.
It turned out that when a group of hussar guards was chasing the fleeing Chang Xuan army, they found that a group of Chang Feng army soldiers had broken into a manor and was doing evil there. And this manor was also saved from disaster because of the timely arrival of the hussar guards.
Afterwards, the owner of the manor, that is, Zhuge Xuan, brought his own male to thank Li Yi.
Of course, this was said by Zhuge Xuan himself, but after knocking on the side, Li Yi knew what was going on.
It turned out that Zhuge Xuan had been out of office in his early years, and that was when the Yellow Turban Rebellion had just begun.
In the early years, that is, when he was still in the disaster of the party, Liu Biao, as a member of the party, was forbidden to go out, so he traveled all over the world. When I came to Langya in Xuzhou, I accidentally got acquainted with Zhuge Xuan. Later, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, the party ban was lifted, and Liu Biao was made a candidate in the Northern Army.
Although the lieutenant of the Northern Army is only a petty officer of 600 stones, his power is not small, and he is in charge of the five battalions of the Northern Army, that is, the guards under the command of the five captains of the Tun Cavalry, the Yue Cavalry, the Infantry, Changshui, and the Shooting Voice.
Liu Biao is a kind-hearted person, the real kind of "don't forget the rich", he is now developed, he remembered Zhuge Xuan, who once helped him in trouble, and asked him to be his subordinate official. So, Zhuge Xuan went to Luoyang like this.
However, three years later, Zhuge Xuan, who was in Luoyang, received news that his brother Zhuge Jue died of illness, leaving several young children and nephews with no one to take care of. Zhuge Xuan has a very good relationship with Zhuge Xuan, because he was raised by his elder brother since he was a child, therefore, Zhuge Xuan resigned like Liu Biao and returned to his hometown to take care of Zhuge Gui's funeral, and was allowed by Liu Biao to go to Xuzhou to take care of Zhuge Gui's widow and children.
Three years have passed, seeing that his eldest nephew Zhuge Jin has become an adult, Zhuge Xuan is ready to recommend him to Liu Biao, but at this time, the Son of Heaven died, Luoyang changed drastically, and his benefactor Liu Biao stepped aside again in this accident and became an idler, obviously unable to provide a way for his nephew to become a leader.
Zhuge Xuan also thought about letting his nephew go to serve Tao Qian, the magistrate of Xuzhou, but he didn't have any friendship with Tao Qian, so he rushed to get up, if he was rejected, it would be a shame.
The so-called mountains and rivers are doubtful, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Just when Zhuge Xuan didn't know what to do, the world-famous hussar general led a large army to Xuzhou to suppress the rebellion, and his subordinates unexpectedly came to his house, which made Zhuge Xuan see an opportunity.
Over the years, he has heard countless legends about Li Yi, and the most exciting thing for him is that Li Yi only employs people based on their talents. Over the years, those who have become popular in Northern Xinjiang have all come from very ordinary backgrounds, and even many of them are from poor families.
The ancestors of the Zhuge clan have never had any big officials, and the best one is the ancestor Zhuge Feng, who once served as a subordinate official of Gongyu, the imperial historian, and was later recommended as a literary servant of the imperial history. During the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, he was appointed as the captain of the school, and then he was the doctor of Guanglu. However, because of his upright temperament, he hated corrupt officials and villains who specialize in flattery. Later, because of the impeachment of the ministers, the emperor did not allow it, and was demoted to the captain of the city gate. Soon he was dismissed from office, demoted to a concubine, and died at home. And the Zhuge family has also fallen since then, from the strong side of the Langya country, to the ranks of the poor.
But when it comes to talent, Zhuge Xuan has full confidence in his eldest nephew Zhuge Jin. Even if he can't be called Wang Zuozhicai, he is definitely a capable minister. If you can get Bole's appreciation, you will definitely be able to shine.
Of course, what makes Zhuge Xuan even more proud is his second nephew Zhuge Liang, although he is only ten years old, he has already shown extraordinary talent, compared to his eldest nephew Zhuge Jin, it is still much surpassed.
And today, the most powerful is undoubtedly the hussar general who sits in the northern Xinjiang, don't look at Dong Zhuo is now Xiangguo, and he commands the world with the Son of Heaven, but Zhuge Xuan is not optimistic about him at all. Dong Zhuo has his current status, but it is because he is bold enough to dare to do what others dare not do. But if there is really a fight, ten Dong Zhuo will not be the opponents of the hussar generals.
Zhuge Xuan had faintly sensed that another troubled era was coming. In this troubled world, all false names are meaningless, only real strength and potential are reliable. And in both cases, the hussar generals are undoubtedly the best among the princes.
In terms of strength, the hussar general has an army of more than 200,000 people, and is the actual ruler of the two prefectures and two protectorates in northern Xinjiang, occupying half of the Han Dynasty.
In terms of potential, the hussar general has now made great achievements with his own strength, but he is very young, not even in the prime of life.
Such a person, in the next troubled times, is definitely the most competitive. Coupled with some other factors, Zhuge Xuan hoped that his eldest nephew could join Li Yi's army.
Therefore, he took this opportunity to thank him and brought several nephews to visit Li Yi.
