Chapter 39 The Princes of the World

Last time, I mentioned that Yuan Shao was the second of the eight captains, the lieutenant of the Chinese army, and he had great power. In addition to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, there are two other people who have attracted Wen Chou's attention, because in their previous lives, they still have some fragmentary impressions of them, even though these two people did not occupy much of a chapter in this era of heroes!

These two people are the captain of the military academy - Little Yellow Gate. Jian Shuo and the right lieutenant - Chun Yuqiong.

Jian Shuoqi has appeared many times in this article, and he is also the most powerful of the eight captains, directly responsible to Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, to a certain extent and in a sense, even the general He Jin must also be controlled by him. It can be seen that its rights are huge. It is a small yellow door, strong and martial, favored by Liu Hong, in order to be appointed to this important position.

So what is his position as a little yellow door?! In fact, he is only a petty official with a rank of 600 stones, served by a eunuch, but he can serve the emperor around, receive Shangshu affairs, go up to the inner palace, and have done a lot of things for the Guantong China and foreign countries and the middle palace. When the princesses and princesses were sick, they asked them. This can be seen from the prestige of the little yellow gate, although its rank is low, but it is a figure around the Son of Heaven, so that the power can be greater than the Son of Heaven?!

In the late Han Dynasty, they may have been very active and influential in the early stage, and they were an important force that could influence the development of society, which should not be underestimated or ignored! But this is not what Wen Chou can participate in, and when Wen Chou's forces are slightly formed and have the ability to participate in the world, I think that these eunuchs have also become the souls of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's brothers, so Wen Chou doesn't pay much attention to them!

Not much, it doesn't mean that there is no attention at all, for example, if you want to buy some stewards in the hands of Liu Hong, the son of heaven, you need to go through the hands of these eunuchs. Now he may only need to serve the people in the county court happily, and he can be a county commander and govern a party. But in the future, if it wants to develop further, it will be necessary to contribute some financial resources to connect the top and bottom levels. Of course, that's an afterthought.

Then among the remaining captains, the one who can get Wen Chou's attention is Chun Yuqiong, as the right lieutenant, he unsurprisingly chose to follow the 'party' leader Yuan Shao instead of Cao Cao. And in the midst of that famous battle. played a key role, and of course, this role also led to its downfall. Although it is not very eye-catching, it can be regarded as a famous history. As for his military quality, character, etc., it is not something that Wen Chou can understand, this person is not something he can move, and there is no possibility of solicitation!

So far, the princes of the world. They have basically entered the stage of history!

First of all, let's talk about Sun Jian, who is known as the 'Jiangdong Tiger', although he is far away from Wenchou, but their backgrounds are similar, they are not from the official eunuch clan, and they are despised by the scholars, and then they stand out with their own force and ability. It can be said that Sun Jian's growth process has great reference significance for Wen Chou. So Wen Chou still pays a lot of attention to Sun Jian. In this way, you can better adapt yourself to this era. You can avoid a lot of detours!

According to what Wen Chou knows, Sun Jian was a county official when he was young. Sexual broadness, curiosity festival. At the age of seventeen, he became famous for killing and expelling many pirates, and was successfully recruited by the county government and became an acting lieutenant. At that time, Xu Chang, a native of Huiji County, raised troops in Juzhang and proclaimed himself Emperor Yangming. Together with his son Xu Shao, he instigated the counties everywhere and gathered tens of thousands of accomplices.

This gave Sun Jian an opportunity, so that Sun Jian was able to recruit more than 1,000 elite and brave strong men as the county Sima. Together with the officers and soldiers of the state and county, they worked together to defeat this force. this year. It was the year when 'Wen Chou' was born in the first year of Xiping. Assassin Shi Zang Min reported Sun Jian's merits to the imperial court, so Sun Jian was appointed as the county governor of Yandu, and Sun Jian was only seventeen years old at this time! Just like the current Wen ugly! It took advantage of troubled times!

But in the next eleven or twelve years, Sun Jian has not been on top of his career, but he has not received an inch! Instead, he was successively reappointed as Xuyi County Cheng and Xiapi County Cheng. Although he has served as the county governor of the three counties, he is very prestigious everywhere he goes, and the officials and the people are also close to obedience. But he still hasn't been promoted, which is why Sun Jianhan was born and is not recognized by mainstream scholars. And if Wen Chou wants not to take Sun Jian's bumpy road again, then he needs to make a fuss about 'fame', which is also what Wen Chou is doing.

Although Sun Jian was not recognized by the upper class, he won the obedience of the middle and lower class people in the three counties. When he was in office, the number of people with whom he corresponded often reached hundreds or thousands. Among them, there are old celebrities in the township, and there are also young people who do good things. Sun Jian treats them like his relatives and friends. Reception and upbringing, dedication.

If nothing has changed, maybe Sun Jian will also serve as a county official until he is old, and he may be promoted to a county official, and he is also the kind of servant who has no real power. However, God treats Sun Jian well, and in the first year of Zhongping, the twelfth year of his tenure as a county governor above the locality, there was a drastic change in the world, that is, the Yellow Turban Rebellion!

This change has made the elite of the empire undergo a major reshuffle, and there are many heroes who have taken advantage of this opportunity to rise rapidly, including Sun Jian! At that time, the people responsible for encircling and suppressing the Yellow Turban Army were the cavalry general Huangfu Song, the Zhonglang general Zhu Jun and the Zhonglang general Lu Zhi. It was Zhu Junzuo, who had a 'fellow villager' relationship with Sun Jian, who invited Sun Jian to serve as the Sima of the Zuojun. This allowed Sun Jian to participate in this major event of suppression to gain fame.

At this time, Sun Jian's effect of being a county magistrate in the local area for 12 years in a row was reflected, and he recruited some soldiers in the Huai and Si areas, plus the young people from the same township who followed him on errands in Xiapi County, a total of 1,000 elite soldiers. After that, Sun Jian led more than 1,000 soldiers to fight in the north with Zhu Jun.

Sun Jian led the troops to attack, he was alone, fought bravely, often risked arrows and stones, and took the lead in climbing the city wall. And his subordinates were encouraged by this, and they would follow suit, with outstanding achievements, and even captured Wancheng. Zhu Jun reported all Sun Jian's merits and deeds to the imperial court, and the imperial court appointed Sun Jian as the Sima of other departments. At this time, Sun Jian only entered the sight of the upper echelons.

Later, if there is a war, you will think of Sun Jianlai, first in the third year of Zhongping, the imperial court sent Sikong Zhang Wen as a fake car cavalry general, and the west to fight against Bian Zhang and other rebellious soldiers. Zhang Wenzuo invited Sun Jian to join the military. Later, due to the contradiction between Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo, the court worshipped Sun Jian as a councilor. It can be regarded as having a foothold in the political center of the empire.

Until the fourth year of Zhongping, that is, last year, the Changsha people rebelled, proclaimed themselves generals, gathered more than 10,000 people, and besieged the city. Perhaps because Sun Jian was a southerner, and he 'knew the military affairs and was good at fighting bravely', so the imperial court appointed Sun Jian, who was the councillor at the time, as the Taishou of Changsha and went to exterminate him.

After Sun Jian arrived in the county, he inspected the officials and made them govern the people, and explained clearly: "You just have to treat the good people well, handle the official documents well, and do things according to the rules." As for the thieves in the county, I'll be in charge! He did what he said, immediately led the soldiers, planned a strategy, and in only one month's work, he defeated the district star, and the county was shocked.

At that time, Zhou Dynasty, Guo Shi and others also revolted in the Lingling and Guiyang areas, echoing Ou Xing. Sun Jian crossed the county boundary and went to the conquest. In this way, all three counties were pacified and orderly. And the reason why he crossed the border to attack the thief was to respond to Lu Kang's request for help.

At that time, Lu Kang's nephew, who was too guarded by Lu Kang, was the commander of Yichun County at that time, and was attacked by enemy soldiers and sent someone to Sun Jian for help. At that time, the chief secretary advised Sun Jian not to cross the line to solicit. But Sun Jian was born a fierce eagle and was born as a light man, and he did not abide by the system like the scholars, and replied: "I don't have any virtue in guarding too much, and I only take conquest as my work." The cross-border conquest is to protect the county. If I am convicted of this, I am worthy of the world! So, reorganize the troops, raise troops to help, and the thieves heard that Sun Jian was coming, and fled when they heard the news.

After that, the imperial court made a rather stupid decision, that is, to record Sun Jian's military exploits before and after, and named him the Marquis of Wucheng. Why did it say that the imperial court made a stupid decision, but it was because, in the story of the Han Dynasty, two thousand stones could not leave the country without an edict, not even leaving the country, let alone leading troops out of the country?

As the saying goes: "The major affairs of the country are only worship and Rong, and the Son of Heaven has been conquered since ancient times." "But Sun Jian led his troops out of the country with 2,000 stones without an edict and conquered neighboring counties, which was a taboo for the imperial court! But Sun Jian for this, the court not only did not blame him, but worshiped as a marquis, why not drink to quench his thirst and abandon his heavy equipment! From then on, the court was only majestic and ceased to exist. This is the reason why the imperial court is stupid! And the reason why the imperial court made such a stupid move was also helpless!

Now that there is turmoil today, when the imperial court is employing people, he is thirsty for knowledge about generals who can fight well, and Sun Jian expects that the imperial court will not easily punish him. That's why he dared to do such a blatant violation of the imperial court system! After this incident, Sun Jian can be regarded as a good example to the world, others don't say it, but it was only after learning that Sun Jian did this that he dared to blatantly visit around the neighboring counties. And don't worry about being ruled by the court!

rescued Lingling and Guiyang, and after Lu Kang asked for help, he crossed the border to save him, and naturally won the gratitude of the Lu clan of Wu County represented by Lu Kang! In this way, Sun Jian can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in Jiangdong, having a great right to speak, and winning the praise of Nanzhou scholars, making up for his biggest shortcoming, and his connections among scholars. This made him one of the scholars, and his descendants were also the sons of eunuchs.

β€”β€”The reason why Sun Jian's son Sun Ce was able to sit in Jiangdong in just a few years is because he dares to fight bravely, I am afraid that Sun Jian's accumulated contacts in Jiangdong have also contributed a lot!

It can be said that Sun Jian's experience is a lesson for him to be an official, or a young man, or a young man, or a rise in trouble, the middle-aged is two thousand stones, the strategy of winning the hearts of scholars, etc., has reference significance for Wen Chou, so that he can make his own family develop better.
