Zhang Yi paid tribute to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty with the seven-star knife, and said in a book: This knife sharpens iron like clay, is worth tens of millions, and is a rare divine weapon in the world; His Majesty spent a huge amount of money to buy this divine weapon, and now he does not dare to hide it privately, and he is dedicated to the Son of Heaven, please accept it with a smile.

After Emperor Han Ling saw Zhang Yi's recital, he immediately ordered someone to show the power of this knife. Then the Manchu Dynasty saw that this sword was so sharp, so they praised and congratulated one after another. Emperor Ling was happy in his heart, and after the ten permanent servants, he issued an edict to entitle Zhang Yi as the general of the Huns, and gave the marquis of Guannei, and enjoyed the food of the Xiongnu tribes under the jurisdiction of the state all the year round.

The Marquis of the Han Dynasty is divided into 20 ranks, and the Marquis of Guannei is the 19th class, and the grade is the second highest.

When Emperor Han Ling's edict came down, I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, Zhang Yi is simply looking for death, and sooner or later he will have to be killed by his own greed.

My words were soon fulfilled, and in December of that year, the Xiongnu tribes living in Zishi County, Taiyuan County (later divided into Xihe County) rebelled and broke away from Zhang Yi's jurisdiction because they could not bear the oppression.

On this day, the people in the village are sweeping the dust, because the Chinese New Year is approaching, and sweeping the dust is the custom here. Therefore, everyone has to clean up the dust and stolen goods in their own houses, in order to sweep away the bad luck of this year, and next year can usher in a good omen. However, for some, the good omen did not come, but it ushered in disaster.

This time, Zhang Yang came to visit in person, and the militia guarding the village did not stop him, and directly took him to the council hall. Then the second baby came to report and said, "Two leaders, Zhang Beijia came, saying that there is something important." ”

Feng Xian said, "Well, I know, tell him that the two of us will come later." ”

"No, Grand Chief." The second baby left in response.

I couldn't help but wonder: "This year hasn't arrived yet, why did he come to visit in advance, this thing is a bit strange?" ”

Feng Xian shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm in trouble." ”

Then, Feng Xian and I threw down the work in our hands, washed our hands, and went to the council room.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Yang sighed and said, "Alas, you two are finally here, this time no matter what, I implore you to help the younger brother with this." ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, sit down and speak slowly; Looking at your appearance, things seem to be quite serious, I don't know what is important? ”

Zhang Yang replied: "Tu everyone rebelled, my uncle ordered me to immediately mobilize the county soldiers from all counties in the state to quell the rebellion, I thought that the New Year was about to begin, and it was an inauspicious thing to cause a military disaster in the New Year, so the matter of sending troops was postponed until the beginning of spring next year." ”

"Oh? There is such a thing. Bongxian was a little surprised. I didn't think so, I had expected something like this. Feng Xian asked again: "Then what do you mean by coming here?" ”

At this time, I smiled and said: "Such an obvious matter is not clear, the three tribes of the Xiongnu have almost tens of thousands of people living in the territory of Bingzhou, slaughtering the tribes, the remaining left and right departments may not be connected with them, in case the three tribes jointly rebel, this rebellion may be difficult to quell." ”

The meaning of my words could not be more obvious, Zhang Yang came this time to ask us to help them put down the rebellion.

Zhang Yang sighed: "Alas, Brother Cheng Lian is really like a god; Yes, my brother is here to ask you two to send troops to help, I know that you two are strong in martial arts, and your subordinates are full of elite soldiers, I hope you two don't shirk. ”

Feng Xian hesitated slightly, and then I couldn't help but say: "Uncle Zhi, it's not that my two brothers are unrighteous, speaking of this matter, if it is an invasion of foreign invaders, then we naturally have to go and help, but now this disaster was caused by Zhang Tingshi, then he should be responsible for the consequences." ”

Zhang Yang couldn't help but smile helplessly and said, "Brother Cheng Lian, it seems a little unkind for you to say this. ”

But I said, "It depends on who the favor is, if you are the assassin of this state today, and there is a rebellion under your rule, I will immediately take my brothers to help you quell the rebellion without saying a word, but if you change people like your uncle, you will not talk about everything!" ”

My tone was very resolute, and there was no room for retreat, which made Zhang Yang feel quite helpless. When he saw that I couldn't make sense here, he asked Feng Xian again, "Brother Feng Xian, what do you say?" ”

Feng Xian sighed slightly and said, "What Brother Xian means is what I mean, we can't ignore the lives of our brothers for the sake of someone like your uncle; In other words, if you hadn't been able to protect that knife in the first place, where would you have been in today's disaster? ”

Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas, I am indeed to blame for this. ”

I couldn't help but shake my head secretly, no wonder he wanted to call Uncle Zhi, he was indeed a little immature in his thinking. Immediately, I softened my tone and said, "Oh, in fact, I can't blame Uncle Zhi for this, if you want to blame his uncle for being too greedy, or else we will have to blame us in the final analysis, if we don't give him such a valuable thing, it won't cause his uncle's greed." ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but shake his head with a smile and said, "What Brother Xian said is reasonable, but I didn't think it through. ”

Zhang Yang smiled slightly, but he still looked quite helpless in his heart, so he arched his hand and said, "Okay, I won't bother the two of you anymore, Uncle Zhi will leave." ”

At this time, Feng Xian suddenly said: "Uncle Zhi, if you really can't do it, you can just resign, and then move to Huo Village with your family, if there is trouble at that time, it will not involve your parents." ”

Zhang Yang smiled slightly and said, "Thanks to the kindness of the first brother, I will think about this matter and leave." Immediately, Zhang Yang left.

Feng Xian couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then said, "Brother Xian, I'm a little worried that Uncle Zhi will have trouble coming this time, why don't we help him this time, okay?" ”

I couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and immediately said, "Well, after the New Year, I will take a dozen brothers with me to visit the leader of the Tu tribes and ask him to take care of it." ”

Feng Xian was puzzled: "What does Brother Xian mean?" ”

I said: "Although we have a small amount of power now, we are not able to match the Hun tribe, and more than 100,000 people are not something that our thousands of people can easily deal with, even if we add the 10,000 or 20,000 shrimp soldiers and crab generals in various counties and counties in the state, it is just a material for delivering vegetables, and I will not do it if the brothers go to die in vain; I plan to send some gifts to the leaders of the Tu tribes, so that they can take care of them more when the time comes, and by the way, I will have a relationship with them. ”

Feng Xian nodded and said, "Well, it's okay, it's best not to make a fuss, so as not to make a river of blood when you get it." ”

I couldn't help but smile and said: "Also, the game of war is too cruel, and many people will die when it starts, so of course it is best not to fight; By the way, tomorrow I will send a brother to Fucheng to talk to Yilu, and ask him to close all the shops and withdraw all the people, and wait until this matter has stopped before opening it. ”

Feng Xian nodded and said, "Well, Brother Xian thinks about it." ”

There is a way to live in troubled times, and there is a way to govern the world. It is very difficult to survive in troubled times, and even those who have the ability must know how to adapt to the times. The so-called way of the earth is to stand on stability and seek undefeated. This is the standard law of survival in troubled times, and it is also applicable in governing the world.
