Chapter 8: The Evil of the Ancients
In August of the fifth year of Zhongping (188), Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty established a headquarters in Luoyang West Park and organized a new army in order to divide the military power of his great general He Jin. The headquarters of the new army has a total www.biquge.info of eight captains, namely the Captain of the Upper Military Academy, the eunuch Jian Shuo, the lieutenant of the Central Military Academy, the lieutenant of the Central Army, the lieutenant of the Middle Army, the lieutenant of the Tun Cavalry, the lieutenant Bao Hong, the lieutenant of the Dian Military Academy, the Cao Cao, the captain of the left colonel, the lieutenant Feng Fang, the lieutenant of the right lieutenant, the lieutenant Xia Mou, and the lieutenant Chun Yuqiong.
Captain Jian Shuo became the supreme commander of the national army, and all the captains were under the command of Jian Shuo. Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo was in charge of all armies and was directly ordered by the emperor. The momentum was so great that even the general He Jin had to be ordered by him.
In mid-August, Liu Yu and his entourage came to Chenliu County, Chenliu County. Starting from Xu County, all the way through Yanling, Fugou, Yu County, Yongqiu, Chenliu County, it took more than a month to come to this Chenliu. It's not that Liu Yu and the others are walking slowly, but they deliberately put down their steps, paying attention to the living conditions of the people in the late Han Dynasty, and asking if there are any idle talents at home for their own use.
The city wall of Chenliu is tall and majestic, and the population in the city is large, and Chenliu belongs to the realm of Yanzhou. Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was the king of Chen Liu before he ascended the throne as emperor. As the largest prince of the late Han Dynasty, Cao Cao made his fortune here, and as Cao Cao's early base camp, this place has a pivotal position for him.
Now this Chen Liutaishou is Zhang Miao, one of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty. Zhang Miao, the word Meng Zhuo, was famous for his chivalry when he was young, helping the poor, helping others, bankrupting his family, and many strong men were attached to him, known as one of the "Eight Kitchens", Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were all friends of Zhang Miao. The imperial court recruited him as an official, and he was appointed as a cavalry lieutenant with excellent results in the examinations, and soon he was appointed as Chen Liutaishou. His younger brother Zhang Chao is currently the Taishou of Guangling County, Xuzhou.
Liu Yu didn't find a suitable reason, so he didn't plan to bother Zhang Miao, and after arriving at Chen Liu, Zhong Miao was going to visit his friends, so Liu Yu only took two entourages to wander around the street at the moment.
Walking on the street of Chenliucheng, feeling the life of the people of Chenliu, Chenliu is indeed a large county closer to Luoyang, the people here are quite wealthy, the people have some money in their hands, and the people who buy and sell things in the market come and go, in an endless stream.
After staying in Chen Liucheng for two days, Liu Yu did not find a virtuous person, and when Zhong Yu also returned from visiting friends, he left Chen Liucheng together and headed for Dongjun.
After walking into the mountain, Liu Yu wanted to speed up through this mountainous area and walk on the road, but the road became more and more difficult to walk, and everyone had to get off the horse and lead the horse to walk, how could they not speed up, and every distance made a lot of physical exertion.
In August, the weather in the mountains was hot, and everyone was really tired from walking, so they stopped to take a break before hurrying.
At this moment, there was a sudden shouting in the mountains, and forty or fifty people with weapons and yellow scarves on their heads came out of the woods in all directions of June and the others, showing off their might in front of Liu Yu and others, shouting and asking them for money.
Liu Yu knew that they had encountered robbers today, and he was depressed for a while, how could he meet so many bandits here, and he was not afraid to arrive by himself in normal times, but now that everyone is tired on the road, how to resist this group of bandits is really a problem.
Could it be that they are given money, but Liu Yu knows that the greed of these bandits cannot be satisfied, and he has to hurry, so it is impossible to give them all the money, but if he doesn't give them himself, how can these people fight against these bandits who are waiting for work?
My luck is really bad, could it be that I just crossed over, and I want to let myself cross again? Liu Yu does not believe in this evil, and only through struggle can there be some vitality.
Fortunately, Liu Yu listened to his father's request and brought six followers, two of which he had sent out before, and now there were four left by his side. Immediately arranged two attendants and four attendants brought by Zhong Xuan to protect Zhong Xuan, and he himself brought two attendants to prepare to fight these bandits.
Fortunately, these bandits are relatively weak, just like a group of bandits who gather together for thieves, and their combat effectiveness is extremely low, but there are few people on their side who can't stand the other party's large number of people, not to mention that the other party still has weapons, and they are all bare-handed on their side.
Just after defeating more than a dozen thieves in a row, two of them also fell on their side, and the rest of the people also hung up some lottery, so it was not a way to go on like this, Liu Yu thought to himself, it seems that he is going to be planted here today.
Turning his head to look at Zhong Xuan, Liu Yu said apologetically: "Sir, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, I hurt Mr." ”
Zhong Xuan said: "The eldest husband is not happy in life, and he is not bitter in death. Today, the lord was able to send two people to protect me at a critical moment, and this kindness is remembered in my heart, and even if I die today, I will have no regrets. ”
Liu Yu didn't expect that he was just a casual person who wanted to protect Zhong Xuan, but he was taken so seriously by Zhong Xuan, it seems that he will follow him with all his heart after today.
Although Zhong Yu is more loyal to himself, but whether he can survive is still a question now, Liu Yu was a little unwilling, so he said to the bandits: "Brothers, we are willing to give you all the money, and please let us live." ”
"Hey, hey. Let you go, think beautifully. Today you have killed so many of my brothers, and this account will be settled regardless of its power, and today you have to keep your money and wealth for me. Guys give it to me. One of the burly bandits said that this person should be the leader of this group of bandits.
Liu Yu saw that the persuasion was fruitless, and the other party had already begun to attack his side. Liu Yu had already given up resistance at this time, and was ready to die.
At this critical moment, a burly man with a fierce expression, holding a small iron halberd in each hand, rushed over and fought with this group of bandits.
This strong man is strong in martial arts, Liu Yu thought he was going to die, but when he saw this strong man, he instantly beat this group of thieves all over the ground to find his teeth, and shouted: "Don't get out of here." ”
The voice roared like thunder, and all the thieves had never seen this formation, and they were all frightened, and they ran away.
Liu Yu secretly praised in his heart: What a man, indeed a hero. Liu Yu was almost planted in the hands of a group of bandits, but fortunately he was kindly saved by this passing strong man at this moment.
After escaping death, Liu Yu saluted with both hands: "Under Liu Yu, thank you for saving your life." Dare to ask who the strong man is? ”
The strong man didn't seem to care at all about saving Liu Yu's group of people, and said nonchalantly: "In Xia Dianwei." I happened to be passing by here, and I couldn't get used to the actions of this group of bandits, so I came to the rescue. ”
Dian Wei? Looking at the appearance of this person in front of him again, isn't it Dian Wei? I should have thought that this was Dian Wei's.
Liu Yu was a little surprised and looked at Dian Wei in front of him. Dian Wei, who is that, that is Cao Cao's evaluation as "the evil of the ancients" people, later generations like to comment on the force value of the generals during the Three Kingdoms period, "one Lu two Zhao three Dian Wei, four passes, five horses and six Zhang Fei", Dian Wei is rated as the third person in the force value, although this ranking is biased, not necessarily so, but this also shows the power of Dian Wei. It can be seen that Dian Wei easily repelled more than 30 bandits just now, which is really a gesture.
For Dian Wei, I believe that anyone who has seen the Three Kingdoms knows that this person is powerful, ambitious, and chivalrous. At that time, fellow townsman Liu and Suiyang Li Yong were enemies, and Dian Wei avenged Liu's grievances. Later, when Cao Cao raised his army, Dian Wei followed Zhang Miao in advance, and Dian Wei was surprised by everyone for holding a large and long army Yamen banner with one hand.
Later, Zhang Miao broke with Cao Cao, and waited for an opportunity to attack Cao Cao, Dian Wei switched to Cao Cao, subordinate to Xiahoudun, and fought everywhere with Xiahoudun, killing the enemy several times, and was worshiped as Sima. Dian Wei was loyal to the lord, a generation of loyal ministers, and Cao Cao's proud general.
Dian Wei saved Cao Cao three times, but in the end, because of Cao Cao's lustful carelessness, this fierce general failed to show his due charm in the later period of the Three Kingdoms and fell early. In the book, the author of "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" Chen Shou once commented on Dian Wei as "Xu Chu and Dian Wei folded left and right, and Fan Hao of the Han Dynasty." ”
After Dian Wei's death, even this "rather teach me to bear the world, stop teaching the world to bear me" Cao Cao, also personally cried and laid a foundation, although Cao Cao's eldest son and beloved nephew also died at the same time, but Cao sighed and said: "I fold my eldest son and beloved nephew, there is no deep pain, and the only name is Dian Wei!" Even a year later, Cao Cao marched through his hometown, and he still couldn't help crying. This shows the courage of Dian Wei.
