Chapter 14, Dragon Banner Nine

There is a thing that is actually quite strange, in the original history, when Emperor Han Xian drove to Anyi, he began to write letters to all the princes one after another, asking them to come to King Qin to escort him, so the nearest Zhang Yang quickly got up, and then the Yuan family in Hebei discussed for a long time, and refused to help, so he was pulled out by Cao Cao - Cao Cao is really not the first to welcome the Son of Heaven, but Zhang Yang's strength is too weak, and it is the same as not welcome.

Speaking of the princes from all walks of life at that time: Gongsun Zhan was forced to be beaten by Yuan Shao, and he had no time to go to the Son of Bird; Liu Zhang is too far away, and there is also a "rice thief" Zhang Lu "blocking the road", and it is normal not to go; Liu Bei was fighting with Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu was still nesting behind Liu Bei waiting to pick up the bargain, and he didn't have time or energy. But in the eight counties of Jingzhou, at this time, at least the heart of the Nanjun, Jiangxia Taiping, the distance is close, the state pastor Liu Biao is a member of the Han family, the world's famous people, Jingzhou soldiers did not go to save the Son of Heaven, it is really strange.

And according to the records in the history books, Zhao Qi said to Dong Cheng: "If you want to take an ox cart by yourself, Nan said that Liu Biao can make himself a general to defend the imperial court...... However, after running around Jingzhou, Liu Biao only sent a little soldier and ran to Luoyang with materials to help repair the palace. Why didn't Liu Biao send a large army to the north to rescue Emperor Xian from Dong Cheng and Yang Feng, who were the leaders of the Kansai or Hedong army? He obviously has this strength, doesn't he?

In fact, the answer is hidden in the history books, but Xun Qian's life was not carefully read, and he ignored the past, and he was ordered to go to Jingzhou in this life, chatting with Huang Jie and Cai Mao on the way, and using the gossip to explore the inside of Jingzhou, so that the reason was excavated from the corners of the history books and compared with current events. Although Liu Biao is a safe man, Jing Xiang is safe. I don't think much about external expansion. But that doesn't mean he's unambitious. It's just that the ambition and confidence are lacking. Liu Yan entered Sichuan, deliberately sent Zhang Lu to seize Hanzhong, blocked the road to tribute, and since then he has usurped the honor guard of the Son of Heaven in Shuzhong, Liu Biao did not go there, and openly worshiped heaven and earth in the suburbs of Jingzhou - that is a sacrificial activity that only the Son of Heaven can do!

Liu Biao's favored Zhonglang Han Song Han Degao once admonished Liu Biao because of this matter, but unfortunately Liu Biao turned a deaf ear. Go your own way. The two began to have a disagreement because of this, which led to the later death of Liu Biao, Han Song also advocated dedicating Jingzhou to Cao Cao. This matter was read by Xun from the history books a long time ago, and he heard it from Huang Jie's mouth again in this life.

Therefore, Liu Biao did not send troops to rescue Emperor Xian, there were only two possibilities: first, his brother wanted to be the emperor in Jingxiang, and refused to take the emperor over, nor did he dare to occupy Luoyang and make enemies with the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou and Hedong; Two. After Zhao Qi arrived in Jingzhou, he saw through Liu Biao's ambitions. So he deliberately stopped him from sending troops - just kidding, Liu Biao is a child of the clan, and it is only a matter of one step to say that usurping the throne, who would dare to let such a careerist go to the emperor's side?

But it was Xun who kept an eye on it, because he didn't know that since the history of this time and space had changed, would Liu Biao go to meet the Son of Heaven first, and Cao Cao would draw water in a bamboo basket - a void. So he first revealed Liu Biao's ambition to Zhao Qi, which means: Old man, you came to Jingzhou, it was really a mistake! In line with your loyal Han family, you must not lead this tiger of Jingzhou to Henan!

Sure enough, when Zhao Qi heard the words of Shi Xun and Huang Zhu, his face was very ugly, and he didn't even have the heart to continue the class, so he went to bed early under the pretext that he was tired from the journey. Huang Zhu first arranged for the old man to sleep, then turned his head and asked Shixun again: "Yes, Mr. said it, so it made it difficult for Jing Xiang's pawn to come out of Wanluo...... However, the Son of Heaven is covered with dust, not Liu Jingzhou, who can save him? ”

It was Xun Xin who said that your brother is really sensitive, and he guessed my intentions so quickly. He replied honestly and unceremoniously: "My lord Cao Yanzhou can be." Huang Zhu nodded: "I also heard that Cao Yanzhou has the talent to stabilize the country, but does he have the heart to revive the Han family?" Shi Xun replied calmly: "If the Han family is not prosperous, the war will not stop, and even if it is merged, it will be devoured by the wolves." The wisdom of our Lord is sufficient to see this. "Let's not mention whether Cao Cao is really loyal to the Han family, judging from the current situation, if you can't get the banner of Yan Han, after all, it's just a situation of separating one side, Cao Cao has enough wisdom to see this clearly - as for whether to replace it after the Han family is revitalized, that's a later story, let's not mention it.

Huang Zhi smiled slightly: "Even if Cao Yanzhou doesn't have this wisdom, it is Mr. who can see this, and he is also a hero in the world - there are many slackness in awarding suitable talents, don't blame Mr." ”

When he got up early the next morning, Zhao Qi was about to go out, and Sun Wen asked him, don't we wait for Liu Biao to greet him? Zhao Qi replied: "Liu Mu's name is important to the world, not to welcome me, but to welcome the Son of Heaven." Although the old man is the envoy of the Son of Heaven, he must not live in a grass hut to be welcomed, but must first go outside the city, which is the number of courtesies. ”

Shi Xun discussed with Sun Wen and said that I will drive the old man today, and you will let me get a stain of it. Sun Wen agreed, so it was Xun Feng who boarded the car with Zhao Qi, said goodbye to Huang Zhi, drove the horse, and slowly went back and forth on the road. As soon as they got on the road, they saw a flag covering the sky and the sun in the distance, and the guard of honor was lined up, presumably Liu Biao personally came to greet them.

Zhao Qi straightened up in the car, put his hand on the awning, and looked from afar. Suddenly, the old man scolded in a low voice: "Liu Biao is rude! Stretched out his hand and patted Shixun's shoulder: "Hongsuke, hurry back to the car, we won't be welcomed by him!" Shi Xun didn't understand what was going on, but instinctively obeyed Zhao Qi's order, and with the help of Sun Wen, he turned the carriage one hundred and eighty degrees in place, turned around and left with his butt at Liu Biao and the others.

Walking out of the road for dozens of steps, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, it turned out that Cai Mao was riding a horse to catch up, and when he got to the side of the car, he jumped off the horse, and asked: "My lord came to greet him warmly, and Zhao Gong suddenly returned to the car, for some reason?" Zhao Qi sneered: "There is a saying in the Book of Rites: 'The dragon is nine, and the son of heaven is also. 'Liu Mu'an dares to trespass?! ”

It was Xun who turned his head and looked at it carefully - sure enough, Liu Biao was flying a dragon flag high in the ranks, and nine streamers were hanging down, that is, the so-called "Jiuhan". This is the banner that the Son of Heaven can only play when he travels, Liu Biao estimated that he was used to being the emperor of the soil in Jingzhou, and even when he greeted the angels, he also openly displayed this flag - he even sacrificed heaven and earth, do you still care about using the flag of the Son of Heaven?

When Cai Mao heard this, he hurriedly discussed with Zhao Qi: "Zhao Gong will rest for a while, and he will return to advise the lord." He hurried back again. Zhao Qi looked at Shixun. couldn't help but sigh loudly: "I don't want Liu Biao to bear the name of a gentleman." To do such a bad government! ”

Is Xun Xin saying what, I'm not lying, what kind of virtue is Liu Biao, your old gentleman finally saw it clearly, right? But don't let him send troops to welcome the Son of Heaven!

In the end, Liu Biao put away the Jiuhan Longyi, and then welcomed Zhao Qi into Xiangyang City. Shi Xun drove Zhao Qi in the car, so he took a look at Liu Jingsheng, the lord of Jingxiang, and saw that this person had big ears and an elegant appearance. The big outline is a bit similar to Liu Bei, but the specific details are completely different. So I can't help but think, this square face can't be the inheritance of the old Liu family, right? Liu Xiu is not clear, it seems that Liu Bang also has a generous face and a wide chin...... But hundreds of years have passed, and there is no reason why this face shape should not change?

Liu Biao welcomed Zhao Qi into the city, and then into the state office. When he got here, there was nothing wrong with Xun, Liu Biao still sent Huang Jie to entertain him and lead him back to the Chuanshe to rest, but Sun Wen let people take it. Followed up with the government office. Shixun returned to the house and gossiped with Huang Jie for a while. After using the morning food together, I suddenly remembered something-

That's right, didn't Xun Yu ask me to help deliver the letter to Wang Cang? How did I almost forget about it? Hurry up and inquire with Huang Jie, Huang Zhu said that Wang Zhongxuan is indeed in Xiangyang, and I will take you there. Ye Xun didn't plan to see Wang Cang, because he was afraid that the little man's eyes were like torches and he would see through his fake poet's deeds, so he just wanted to ask Huang Jie to help deliver the letter. But I didn't expect Huang Jie to be so enthusiastic, as soon as he pulled his sleeve, he said to leave...... Well, the ugly daughter-in-law will inevitably see her in-laws after all, and it is impossible for her to hide from the poets for the rest of her life...... Besides, Lao Tzu even dared to see Cao Cao, are you still afraid of a Wang Cang?

But he didn't expect that Wang Cang and Wang Zhongxuan would be so young, looking several years younger than himself - in fact, Wang Cang was born in the sixth year of Xiping, and he was eighteen years old, two years younger than this Shixun (A Fei). This kid may be less than 1.6 meters tall, and his appearance is not ugly, but his body is very thin, as if a small whirlwind can be swept away.

It is said in the history books that Liu Biao did not pay much attention to Wang Cang because he was "good-looking and frail". "Appearance" is ugly, in fact, it is not necessarily, it is probably just the square-faced Liu Biao's natural aesthetic rejection of pointy-faced people; "Tong La" is leaking air on all sides, Pei Songzhi explained it as "simple", Shi Xun once felt that it was too extensive, but how can a person leak air on all sides? Now look at Wang Cang's virtue, he really believes it...... The ancients were honest and did not deceive me. Guo Jia is also small and thin, but compared with Wang Cang, Guo Fengxiao can already be regarded as a "fat man". Yes Xun couldn't help but wonder in his heart, does this kid have eighty pounds?

When the two sides met to give a salute, Shixun handed over Xun Yu's letter. Wang Cang opened it and took a brief look, and replied: "Xun Jun has a heart, and when Xun Jun writes a reply later, he has to worry that Mr. is bringing it back to Yanzhou - it is the name of Mr. Wen, and Can's has also heard of it, "Don't Fu" is really overwhelming all the articles since the establishment of martial arts!" ”

It's Xun Xin who said goodbye, please don't hold me so high, so I don't have to wear it later, and it will be even heavier if I fall. He thanked him repeatedly, and planned to excuse himself.

But he didn't expect Wang Cang to refuse to let him go, and he had to chant a few poems to listen. Shixun had no choice, so he had to put out the poems of Tao Qian, which had been plagiarized in the past, such as "picking and picking Rongmu", "life and death", "Jingwei Weimu", and "Poor and lowly people", all of them were put out to deal with - Lei Ze's poem "Greedy Spring Wave Green", of course, did not dare to show it. Who thinks that Wang Cang is still not very satisfied, and even said: "I have heard of this, is there a new work?" ”

It was Xun Xin who said that I copied one in the east and one in the west, have you heard them all? In terms of the level of communication in this era, could it be that you have deliberately collected my works? Are you my brainless fan? No way...... Okay, then I'll try you out for the first time.

At that moment, he took a long breath and said slowly: "Fengyi to Jianghan, I know Chu Saichang." Nanguan surrounds Tongbai, and Xiyue goes out of Luyang. There is no photo in the cold suburbs, and the autumn day is clear. The sad wind is heavy in the forest, and the clouds and rivers are rising ......"

Wang Cang listened while squinting his eyes, stroking his palms and chewing carefully, listening to Shixun finish reading these eight sentences, he was silent for a long time, and he was strange at the moment, so he asked, "What about next?" Shi Xun spread his hands: "There is no more below." (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you for opening a single chapter with Qingfeng to help promote my book, I must say that although his "Struggle in the New Ming Dynasty" is empty, it is more historical than many serious historical texts. His current "Da Ming Official" is also one of the ancient history travel novels that I have been chasing, not only the description of officialdom and political disputes is a must, but also the most reliable book of all the ancient travel poems I have read. In addition, there are also old friends Jing Jiangxiao's "Restart the Ming Dynasty" and Qingyu Lion's "Chaotic Qing", which are quite good works. In other words, these are the only three books that are currently being chased, are there any good works with similar themes worth chasing? Welcome to introduce.

By the way, "Lingao Qiming" is not counted, the genre is not the same.
