Chapter 135: The Sorrow of Xi Zhicai

Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Xi Zhong, who has been living in seclusion in Yingchuan County, feels his blood boiling! The Hanmen scholars, who had been bound by the Han Dynasty for a long time, were finally about to show their hideous fangs! However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny; Xi Zhong Zhicai, ambition and talent are equally important, but unfortunately his background is not very good, he lost his father when he was young, and his mother pulled her up with hard work, and as a result, he died in the hands of the rebels because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, these blows are far from reaching God's goal, and his wife is separated and his family is ruined, and his life is like a coffee table - there are cups on it; Because of his mother's teachings, he always thought that as long as he read good books, he could change everything, so he has always secretly climbed the wall on the wall of Yingchuan College, he is a smart person, he will listen to everything once, draw inferences; He thought that if he learned the knowledge well, he would be able to change his own environment, to change his life, to change the entire Han Dynasty, to change but he was disappointed beyond measure, because of his background - a poor family!

Heaven descends on the people, they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies and play before comforting themselves over and over again, deceiving themselves, and making themselves not need to be so painful through the anesthesia of alcohol; Dong Zhuo entered the king of Jingqin and occupied the capital, this is undoubtedly good news for him, the only thing he can do now is probably to use what he has learned in his life, and not let his life be so boring, right?

A poor disciple doesn't have so many choices, he set out from Yingchuan and began to seek the person he can do his best to assist, Zhang Miao is cowardly - no, Zhang Chao is weak - no, Liu Dai is unwise - no, what does Kong Ling know except for reciting poems?

He went to the so-called Dong Alliance, but the conclusion he came to was very disappointed, even the alliance leader Zang Hong is just a courtier, he does not have the potential to be the lord, the lord is not an ordinary person can be a man, he needs to have a lot of qualities; Maybe these qualities are not innate, but he must continue to learn and hone to be able to have, whether it is a surname and perseverance, or unscrupulous, and thick-skinned, these are all things that the "lord" needs to have in troubled times; Xi Zhicai is very disappointed, isn't there such a stunning talent in the world, and the tiger roars the world? Disappointment is disappointment, but he did not give up, because he thought that this would be the most important period of his own life, and he would surely shine brightly!

Yuan Shao of Bohai, a strong soldier, in recent years in the Han Dynasty, he is also a figure in the limelight, probably because he feels that there is no vanity under the fame, he rode a wilting horse to Bohai to meet Yuan Shao; originally thought that Yuan Shao was at least a hero, but he found that he was wrong! Yuan Shao was born in a famous family, so he naturally has a deeper view of the portal, or has he always thought that the wealthy heroes are enough, right? He didn't like them very well; Xi Zhicai did not suffer from the cold, nor did he let Yuan Shao treat him warmly, just because of his talent, Yuan Shao thought it was not bad and promoted him, Xi Zhicai was not happy, and he was not happy, he decided to find a lord who could fully accept himself, rather than a lord who pretended to be a snake; He is very optimistic about Yuan Shao's potential, and he is also grateful that Yuan Shao can look up to him and give him a place to live, a few meals to eat, maybe Yuan Shao's future will be very bright, but Xi Zhi saw those invisible cracks from it; For example, Yuan Shao's surname, stubbornness, self-use, more scheming and less judgment, etc., there are not many strategists and generals under him, and some small groups have begun to appear, these are all dangerous signals, especially these people are mostly from scholar families, that is, the idea of putting the family first and then the country is very serious!

With a sigh, he walked out of the Bohai Sea, out of the port city on the first line of the sea and sky, the cold wind stung his cheeks, and he looked wrinkled and full of vicissitudes and decadence at the age of forty; Regret it? No regrets! Even if he loses a stable job that he has finally found, Xi Zhicai will never regret giving up on him, because he is an ambitious person, and he needs to find a real place where he can use what he has learned in his life!

I don't know how many people in the world let him down, so what are the ones that can really make him feel suitable? Gongsun Chan of Youzhou? I heard that the name of General Baima resounded throughout the grassland, and there were many heroes in the land of Yan Zhao, but unfortunately Gongsun Zhan's position was not very good, there was Liu Yu, the state pastor, Yuan Shao in the south, and as for Han Fu, that coward; As long as the Son of Heaven exists, the imperial relatives of Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou will definitely not risk the disapproval of the world to make self-reliant deeds, although as long as they unite with each other, the south of the Yangtze River is theirs!

Tian Kai in Qingzhou, Tao Qian in Xuzhou, Kong Rong in Beihai, Qiao Mao in Dongjun, Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang have that kind of domineering qualifications, either they are honest and excessive, or they are dependent on others and lose their backbone, or they die studying, reading dead books, or their reputations have long been stinky and can't stink anymore; But Cao Ying, who stabbed Dong alone, looks pretty good, whether he is the captain of Luoyang North over the years, the uncle who killed Jian Shuo, or the minister of Jinan, he has governed the place in an orderly manner, when those who shouted slogans loudly fled from Luoyang, only he succumbed to the thief, endured humiliation and prepared for that blow!

Courage and mentality, in addition to the identity of the official eunuch is a little flawed, he is definitely a good candidate, and Changsha is too shou Sun Jian, brave and good at fighting, the army is elite, he is a good man, Nanyang is too shou Yuan Shu This is the three characters who have been thinking about it for a long time, compared to the first two Yuan Shu may be a little worse in their own conditions, but they all have one thing in common - hard work!

The development of Nanyang County is obvious to all, although there has been a blatant betrayal of officials, but it has also bloodily dealt with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, greatly rectified the atmosphere, suppressed bandits, resettled displaced people, quelled rebellions, one by one, all of them have done very well, and have also attracted the attention of many people, at least Yuan Shu's aura of the gentlemen has weakened a lot; Sitting on horseback, Xi Zhicai's eyes were glazed, and he thought about it, and there was a letter from Yuan Shu in his arms, which Yuan Shao asked him to bring over, Yingchuan County is still very close to Nanyang County, so let's go and see how Yuan Shu is doing first!

Frankly speaking, if Xi Zhicai was born in a wealthy family and had such a talent, the family would have packaged it for him a long time ago, and he would have become a figure that various forces compete for, but unfortunately, he is not! This is the sorrow of being born in a wealthy family!

Without Dong Zhuo, who plans to support the poor scholars and stand out for the poor scholars, is there anyone else in the world who can stand out for them?

Nanyang County, Wancheng, a vote of military horses came from the south, the first person was a tiger with a bear on his back, thick eyebrows and big eyes, holding an ancient ingot knife, it was the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai, who committed suicide Wang Rui, after learning the details, on the one hand, he expressed guilt for Wang Rui's death, but on the other hand, he was very worried about the current situation; He thought about one thing wrong, that is, how Liu Biao treated him, maybe this was a problem he ignored, he was bent on making meritorious contributions and bathing in bloody battlefields, so as to seal the shadows and protect his son, so he showed his incomparable fanaticism for military achievements; There is a saying that the birds are good and the bows are hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked, and now he can be regarded as experiencing this feeling, Liu Biao's most direct political enemy has fallen, even if there are Zhang Xian and others who continue to fight against him, it is also a small disease of sores and ringworm; Taking Cao Yin's soldiers and horses into his hands is enough to suppress them, as for Huang Zu and Cai Mao who was sent to Jiangxia, what are the soldiers and horses led by the two of them doing? Obviously, Liu Biao plans to attack himself next; The occasionally confused Sun Jian abandoned Changsha County in this way and came to Nanyang County to seek political refuge, perhaps a more appropriate word is - take refuge! This is undoubtedly a wise decision made when he was not confused, looking at the Jingxiang area, it is Yuan Shu who can temporarily compete with Liu Biao!

Young Master Yuan was overjoyed and ecstatic at Sun Jian's arrival, maybe he thought in his heart that he was a big and small person, and even this tiger came to treat him as a minion! Coupled with the deep friendship between him and Sun Jian, how could he not be happy?

asked someone to help set up the barracks, Young Master Yuan very politely invited Sun Jian to his house and began to entertain, he was very happy, but Li was very unhappy, staring at Sun Jian, he always seemed to want to bite Sun Jian, a bastard; "Hahaha! When you don't say goodbye for a long time, don't come to the little gentleman unharmed? In Sun Jian's hearty laughter, he pulled out a little child, about fifteen or sixteen years old, from his side, and kicked it on the buttocks: "I don't know how to speak when I see adults?" Yes? Bear kids! ”

A very handsome Zhengtai, compared with Ma Chao next to Li Kai, with white and tender skin, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and a slender body, I don't know how many women to be married have been confused, and Li Mou who saw it felt ashamed: How can this be called Lao Tzu's life!

The little handsome guy arched his hand with a smile and bowed: "Little Sun Ce pays a visit to Lord Yuan Taishou!" Meet Mr. Lee! Sun Ce, Sun Bofu, Li was not surprised, because he had expected it, nodded slightly, and said hello; Little sir, I don't seem to be very happy to see a certain family", Sun Jian is very arrogant, but he is not without eyesight, seeing that since he came, Li's face is like a donkey, and he is wondering if he has offended him; Young Master Yuan smiled, and just wanted to open his mouth to say haha, Li said in a weird manner: "Brother Wentai is so majestic, Wang Rui just let you kill you like that?" Do you know how hard it took me to get him into a position in the first place?

What a pity! I have a thousand arts, you have a 'knife' fresh, just that knife, it will destroy all my efforts! I can't help but feel the pain of your cut! Let's not say that I have a relationship with Wang Ruibo, just say that your knife almost killed more than 600,000 homeless people! Sun Wentai! Do you know the depth of sin? ”

Li Mouren patted the small couch in front of him impassionedly, and roared angrily: "Liu Biao, that bastard, even if he sees the homeless people in Nanyang County starving to death, he won't allocate us grain and grass!" I finally found one that could give us food and grass, but you cut it down! You're driving us to our deaths! ”

Sun Jian's expression became very exciting, Sun Ce behind him glared angrily, but it attracted the interest of the bear child, his eyes burst into a strong light, and the juvenile delinquent with one hundred and eighty lives was full of anger, and he laughed weirdly, which was terrifying; Try it! This is the message sent by Ma Chao! Sun Ce understood! Sun Jian also understood, so he arched his hand and sighed: "I didn't expect that my Sun Jian had a bright and upright life, and he actually planted such a big heel in the hands of a villain!"

There are so many people involved, I really have no face to see people! I wanted to take refuge here with Yuan Gong and escape the coercion and oppression of Liu Biao, a bannibal, it seems that hey! Yuan Gong! Sun was shameless and stranded here, so he said goodbye! ”

"Wentai! Wentai! Yuan Shu hurriedly got up and grabbed Sun Jian: "You and I intersect in adversity, we met in the Yellow Turban War, and we worked together for the Great Han, and now that you are in trouble, who will you go to if you don't look for me?" No man is born wise or learned? Xiao Xian's heart is straightforward and fast, and he has no bad intentions, but he is just depressed! Filial piety! Don't apologize to Wentai? ”

Wipe! Isn't that a mistake? Li Kai is extremely depressed, who is Sun Wentai? Is it something you can handle? Once this tiger has given birth to wings, it will not be far from attacking you! Li didn't plan to keep Sun Jian from the beginning, but now it seems that it probably won't work; Young Master Yuan's own level is limited, but for those who have the level, he likes it very much, is Sun Jian's name covered? Can he not be impressed? Standing up, Li Kai obeyed Yuan Shu's order very familiarly, and bowed: "Brother Wentai, why is this so?" Momentarily angry, there is no other intention! Li apologized to you! ”

The possession of political hooligans is really extraordinary, Li Kai only feels that his whole body is invulnerable now, and all laws are inviolable, especially the thick-skinned one, the only thing that is relatively poor in senses is that when he thinks that it is Gao Lishi's eunuch possessed, every time he goes out, he feels that his little Li Kai is a little shorter; Seeing that Li Mouren bowed to the end with a sincere expression, Sun Jian's face improved a lot, and he hurriedly helped Li Mouren, in fact, he didn't plan to leave here, damn it, the four southern states, Yang, Jing, Yi, and Jiao, three of them were relatives of the emperor and the country, and they formed a united front, God knows if they wore a pair of pants; His acquaintances are all in these places, except for Nanyang County, he doesn't know that place can resist them, leaving here will not only be threatened, but even the people who help him will probably be implicated!

The two sides seemed to have a happy meal, drank very happily, and seemed to be drunk, but when the banquet dispersed and returned to their residence, everyone was sober, that is, Yuan Shu, a real person, always wanted not to get drunk and not return, but fortunately, Li Kai kept squeezing his eyebrows to keep him awake; "Xiaoxian, today Sun Wentai came to defect, this is a great joy, why don't you treat him so much? Didn't you teach me to buy horse bones? It is estimated that after he came to defect, there will be a steady stream of people coming! Young Master Yuan didn't understand it very much; Li Mouren shook his head: "I'm afraid that this is a plan to borrow chickens to lay eggs!" Sun Wentai This is a fierce tiger, although there are not many soldiers and horses under his command, they are all exquisite, and the generals are Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zu Mao, it can be said that they are all fierce generals, his tiger has given birth to half of the wings, and what is missing is that he can soar into the sky if he is a qualified strategist!

Yuan Gong still thought of him too simply, he originally wanted to expel him by killing Wang Rui, but now it seems that it will not work, be careful, I will watch him closely, he wants to borrow chickens to lay eggs, then we will have a trick - drive the tiger and devour the wolf! Put this tiger in shackles and beat others, although there is a danger of backlash, but there are also many benefits to be gained! ”

"What wolf, what tiger, what should you do? It seems that I am not a qualified lord yet! Hahaha! Yuan Shu smiled heartlessly, a person has a person's charm, which is different; Sun Wentai's heroism is easy to impress others and makes people's blood boil, and Yuan Shu's personal charm lies in his deepening kindness, yes, he treats people very kindly, which is also one of his few advantages with many shortcomings; Li Mouren smiled, no longer said Sun Jian, lowered his head and thought silently, the ability of political hooligans is undoubtedly very useful, but it is only three days, he needs to plan a halter for Sun Jian as soon as possible, and tie him firmly to Yuan Shu's chariot!

On the other hand, after Sun Jian went back to Yuan Shufu, he immediately became lively and held a meeting, but this meeting looked at these members, four generals plus a son, all of whom were martial arts, and there was no one like Li Kai who was a strategist, for which Sun Jian could only express deep regret; "Father, what can be seen is that Li Xiaoxian is very sorry for us!" , Sun Ce whispered: "And the kid behind him, he seems to be very powerful!" ”

"Ma Chao, it is said that he is the son of Xiliang Ma Teng, I don't know how he was abducted, and he worshipped Li Xiaoxian as a gentleman, that kid is very powerful, at least better than you!" , Sun Jian supported his chin: "Yuan Shu is simple in thought and arrogant, but there is nothing to worry about, but that Li Kai is shrewd to death, you must not underestimate him, and treat him with respect!" ”

"My lord! Aren't we doing well in Changsha County? Even if Liu Biao has bad intentions towards us, what can we do? With the wisdom of the lord and the bravery of the soldiers, he may not be able to gain a foothold! Han Dang frowned and muttered quietly; Sun Jian shook his head: "What you think is too simple, the mountains and rains are coming, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the troubled times with our strength alone, a stable territory, enough fame, enough grain and grass, we don't have all the things, and now we are still weak, so we can only rely on the strong and wait for changes!" ”

"But Yuan Shu is not a wise person no matter how you look at it! There's no future with him! Huang Gai's hoarse voice was like rubbing his vocal cords; Hahaha", Sun Jian laughed: "It is precisely because he is not a wise person that he can follow him, and if he follows the wrong person, it will be very difficult to find his own way out in the future!" Hi! I called you here to tell you to be cautious under the fence, nothing else, that's all! If only there was a counselor! ”

While saying Sun Jian, he sighed, he saw the magic of Li's people, if he wasn't jealous of Young Master Yuan, he really saw a ghost, not only jealous, but simply crazy with jealousy, what is Mingzhu secretly casting? Exactly!

"Father! I have a friend who is very smart, or else I brought him in? Sun Ce raised his eyebrows, and there was a different flavor; Sun Jian kicked him in the ass: "Get out!" What can a little doll do? Go, go, go! What do adults talk to and children interject? How's the martial arts going? It's really a loving mother and a loser, it's not good to be by his side! ”

Sun Ce curled his mouth and didn't dare to squeak, who called it his father, and walked out unhappily, Sun Ce picked up a spear and played it a few times, feeling not very comfortable, and sighed: "Hey, the passing year is unlucky, everything is unlucky!" ”

A good family always moves around, all because of his father, a war maniac;
