Spring goes to autumn, flowers bloom, and two years pass in a hurry......

Since leaving Taihu Lake, Wang Xu took Yan Ming, Xu Sheng, Dian Wei, and Song Qian incognito, and truly embarked on a journey of travel!

From Wu County to Huiji, from Yangzhou to Jingnan, from Jingnan to Shu County, in addition to Sili, Liangzhou and the hometown Yanzhou, the footprints were imprinted in all the regions under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty. He has traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, stepped on the poor mountains and bad waters, and even penetrated into the land of the Southern Barbarians, and stepped into the barren land and the land of miasma in the eyes of the world.

But Wang Xu didn't just wander aimlessly, he knew what he was going to do. In the past two years, for the goal in his heart, he has trekked through mountains and rivers despite hardships, in fact, the main purpose is to investigate the customs and customs, deeply understand this era, and understand the thoughts of various people, so as to increase his own experience and cognition. Sometimes he would talk to the simple mountain village about farming life; Sometimes he would talk to wealthy businessmen about how to make money; Sometimes he would sing with the heroic warriors, drink and have fun; Sometimes they quietly listen to the voices of the poor; Sometimes, I would visit the literati and talk to them......

In short, he put himself in a very low position thoroughly, and carefully understood all kinds of people and all kinds of things. You can even make friends with the heroic cave masters among the southern barbarians, call them brothers, eat meat in a big bowl, and drink wine in a big bowl! Or roast mutton and drink mare's milk with the heroes on horseback outside the Saiwai. Race horses in the vast grassland desert, fight bravely!

This qiē is all for the world, for the goal in his heart......

It can be said that in the past two years, he has a good understanding of the entire Three Kingdoms era, and he also has a rich understanding of various contradictions and problems. These things are his most valuable treasure, and they are the most effective guarantee for striving for hegemony in the world, winning the hearts of the people, and speeding up reunification and national integration!

But the land of Huaxia is too big, and two years is not much time for Wang Xu, and in the end, he failed to achieve the intended goal. However, the development of history will not stop for him, and as time passes, the decay of the Han Dynasty has intensified. Emperor Ling's mediocrity, the eunuchs' prestige, and the cunning and robbery of a large number of corrupt officials made the Han Dynasty, which had spanned more than 400 years, finally go to the grave.

The life of ordinary people is becoming more and more difficult, if you meet good local officials, it is okay, but if you encounter corrupt officials, it will be even more miserable, and the scene is really a complete reproduction of the famous sentence of "Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road". And this qiē directly led to thieves everywhere, burning, killing and looting, making the people miserable. Although the imperial court also spared no effort to suppress it, the foundation has been moved, and the survival of the people has not been fundamentally solved, so where can it be suppressed.

What's more, with the decline of the Han Dynasty and the dereliction of duty of officials in remote areas, ethnic contradictions are also intensifying. The barbarians in the south and the nomads outside the north rebelled one after another, burning and looting everywhere, which was undoubtedly a severe stab in the body of the Han Dynasty, which was already old and decrepit.

On the other hand, the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the incompetent rule of recent emperors, made relatives and eunuchs alternately in power, so that the entire dynasty declined due to the struggle for power and profit, mediocrity and corruption. By this period of Emperor Ling, it was already like a rotten wood, especially after experiencing the Yellow Turban Uprising, it was even more devastated by his vitality. However, before it could recover, it encountered a rebellion in Liangzhou in the northwest, and even under the unfavorable war, it had already become a mess, and the imperial court was no longer able to calm down this chaotic situation. What's more, the high-ranking emperor is still a favored eunuch and a faint monarch who is obsessed with wealth!

In October 187 AD, Wang Xu, who had returned from the Xianbei tribe outside the Saiwai, had just set foot in Youzhou, and learned that Zhang Chun, the former prime minister of Zhongshan, and Zhang Ju, the Taishan Taishou, had joined forces with Wuhuan Qiu Liju and others to rebel, and killed Gong Qichou, the captain of Wuhuan Colonel, Liu Zheng, the Taishou of Beiping County, and the Taishou Yang of Liaodong County, and had already been called the emperor. Because he saw that the world was too chaotic, he was going to take a detour and go south, but as soon as he arrived in Dai County, Liu Yi, the general of the five facial features who had not seen him for two years, suddenly came to visit and directly found Wang Xu's room.

After some conversation, I learned that Liu Yi had been looking for him for a long time. Because more than three months ago, Emperor Ling may have been troubled by the rebellion everywhere, so he remembered Wang Xu, a young general who can fight well.

However, Wang Xu happened to go to Saiwai at that time, so the general He Jin and others, who had completely lost his news, prevaricated. But in July, a large-scale rebellion broke out between the thieves and barbarians in the two counties of Changsha and Lingling, Guiyang.

However, when the rebellion broke out at the beginning of the rebellion, the former Taishou of Changsha and Lingling counties concealed it for fear that the imperial court would be held responsible. As a result, not to mention the unfavorable suppression of the rebellion, not to mention the killing, but also the rapid expansion of the scale of the rebellion, and it is rumored that there are even 100,000 people!

Seeing that the shape was urgent, the emperor had no available people, so he once again remembered Wang Xu, the great hero of the pacification of the Yellow Turban. And because the eunuchs have received a lot of benefits from the Wang family in the past two years, they have forgotten the Liangzi they formed three years ago, although they did not help to say good things, but they did not make trouble. Therefore, the emperor reinstated Wang Xuguan on the spot, reappointed him as the general of the thief Zhonglang, and concurrently served as the Lingling Taishou. At the same time, Sun Jian, the speaker of the council, was reappointed as the Taishou of Changsha, so that the two of them could cooperate with the old partners of the Yellow Turban to suppress the thieves.

This was originally a good thing, but the general He Jin and his ministers had a headache. lost Wang Xu's traces, how can he quell the chaos if he can't even find anyone? Even the idea that the Spirit Emperor wanted to summon him in person was erased by them after they found many excuses. However, there were no eunuchs to make trouble, and Emperor Ling was very able to listen to the opinions of the ministers, so he didn't ask too much, and only said that he would summon a reward after the rebellion was quelled.

Therefore, the ministers secretly let Wang Kai replace Wang Xu, and quietly went south with Sun Jian to hide people's eyes. On the other hand, it was for Liu Yi to quickly find Wang Xu.

Knowing this, even Wang Xu himself was a little frightened. Fortunately, those eunuchs also know how to repay it appropriately after taking the money, otherwise this sin, tsk! If it is implicated, I am afraid that even the general He Jin will have to finish playing.

After Liu Yi finished speaking, he didn't say anything more to Wang Xu, but told him to go south to quell the rebellion with Sun Jian, and then return to Beijing quickly. Because according to him, the current situation in the court is very chaotic, and Emperor Ling will send him to do things from time to time. In addition, he also told Wang Xu about Yang Ci's illness and death, because this person is one of Wang Xu's great benefactors, and he is also a close friend of Wang Xu's grandfather. The reason why the great general He Jin stood up to help was thanks to the highly respected Yang Ci to persuade him.

And after analyzing the current situation, Wang Xu did not dare to slack off, after all, the current situation is very bad, he knows Wang Kai's ability, and it is not possible to march and fight at all. Although Sun Jian is here, there shouldn't be any big problems, but no one can say clearly what is going on the battlefield. After all, Wang Kai is now his identity, and many times he can't help himself, and it is impossible to stay behind forever.

Therefore, almost as soon as Liu Yi left on the front foot, he went to the next door to discuss with Xu Sheng on the back foot. In the end, it was decided not to make a detour to merge with the state, and went south from Zhongshan Country in Jizhou to Jingnan as quickly as possible. However, Wang Xu, who was already at this moment, didn't notice that Yan Ming had been looking gloomy since he heard that the trip that had lasted for more than two years was coming to an end......

Two days later, in the evening, Wang Xu hurried to Quyang, Julu County, and had to find an inn to live in because of the lack of people.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Xu also decided to have a few drinks with Dian Wei and them! Because Dian Wei and Song Qian have not been able to come back to their senses since they learned Wang Xu's identity in full two days ago, they don't seem to have thought that he who has always been under the pseudonym Wang Ziyang will be the young general of the whole country in Weizhen back then!

That's why he took this opportunity to tell Sù Dianwei and Song Qian about his own affairs one by one, after all, the two of them are going to follow him to the battlefield, and some things must be psychologically prepared.

After opening up to each other, Dian Wei and Song Qian didn't care about what Wang Xu was hiding at all, but they were extremely excited, eager to follow Wang Xu, the lord, to the battlefield to establish a meritorious career.

After thirty years of drinking, a few people who drank happily were talking, but Yan Ming, who had never opened his mouth from beginning to end, suddenly burst into tears. Wang Xu didn't notice it at first, but Xu Sheng, who was still sitting opposite Yan Ming, accidentally caught a glimpse of her burying her head all the time, constantly stuffing rice into her mouth, and felt very strange. When I looked closely, I found that water droplets fell into the rice from time to time, and I immediately kicked Wang Xu from under the table and gave him a color.
