Chapter 325: The Big Trail (Part II)
Filial piety is undoubtedly a stepping stone for poor scholars in this era.
Since ancient times, the concept of filial piety has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Do you have any talents? Unimportant! But as long as you can be famous for filial piety, it is equivalent to opening a door. As for whether it is true or false filial piety, it does not matter. The important thing is that if you want to soar, you can't do without the word 'filial piety'. Even if you have a thousand means, as long as you wear a hat of 'unfilial piety', it will be a stain on your life.
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many filial sons.
Even under Liu Chuang's hands, Xu Shu and Tai Shici are known for their filial piety.
It's just that Liu Chuang still can't remember who Jia Kui is. He had a little impression of the name, but at the same time it seemed very unfamiliar...... This should be a figure who will go down in history. However, there were too many cattle in the Three Kingdoms period, so many that Liu Chuang could not remember them one by one.
Fortunately, there is a knowledgeable Lu Yu by his side.
Don't look at Lu Yu in Youzhou, but he is Lu Zhi's son after all. Even if he lives in poverty, the circle he contacts is far from being comparable to Liu Chuang.
"This Jia Kui is a clan from Xiangling, Hedong, and his ancestors are also from the Hedong Wang clan.
It's just that by the time of his great-grandfather, it had already declined, and it was no longer in the glory of the past. His grandfather, Jia Xi, was a learned man who had the ability to never forget. After Jia Kui was born, his grandfather dictated the art of war, and his strategy was good. I had heard someone say something about him when I was in Youzhou. During the Xingping period, his widowed mother was seriously ill, but there were no cars and horses at home. So he walked 200 miles with his mother on his back and found a famous local doctor for diagnosis and treatment...... He is also famous in Hedong for this and is praised by many people. When he was three years old in Jian'an, he was promoted to Maocai. ”
Lu Yu introduced Jia Kui's origin to Liu Chuang, but Liu Chuang couldn't help but praise him again and again.
"I never thought that this Jia Kui is a filial son."
Lu Yu also sighed: "Speaking of which, this Jia Kui is indeed unlucky.
In the fourth year of Jian'an, he was valued by Hedong Mingshi Wei and recommended to Cao **. Who would have thought that his old mother died suddenly, Jia Kui rejected Cao **'s proposal and kept filial piety for his mother at home. But when you count the time, it's almost three years. If the lord intends to recruit this person, Yu Bucai is willing to be a lobbyist, go to Jiangyi to lobby, and invite him to Youzhou to work for the lord. ”
After Liu Chuang listened to Lu Yu's introduction, he was also a little moved.
Yes, he is now full of talent, but it is still slightly insufficient in comparison.
Cao **'s decades of accumulation are by no means something that Liu Chuang can catch up with in a few years. Even if he bears the name of an uncle of the Han Emperor, it only gives him the name of orthodoxy. To put it bluntly, there was no righteous war in the Three Kingdoms era, and if you want to be recognized, you still have to rely on strength.
At this point, Liu Chuang really can't compare with Cao **.
Although he held Nanshan Academy, before the Battle of Youzhou, how many people from Nanshan Academy were willing to come out to assist him? Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Hu Zhao, and Kong Rong are not unresounding, but they still can't make Liu Chuang recognized by the students of the academy. If you really want to calculate, the students of Nanshan Academy began to assist Liu Chuang on a large scale, and it was also after Liu Chuang pacified Saibei.
Now, Cao ** successfully crossed the river, Yuan Shang abandoned Wei County, and the students of Nanshan Academy may start to wait and see again......
Jia Kui, Jia Kui, Jia Kui......
Liu Chuang looked at Lu Yu and said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, we are not out of danger now, and the health of the Zi family has improved."
It's not too late to set off when you're feeling better. ”
Lu Yu nodded, and received Liu Chuang's kindness.
He was in good health, and if he made a long journey to Hedong at this time, he might not be able to hold on.
Rather than this, it is better to go back and recuperate well, and then go back when your body improves...... Jia Kui is in Hedong, are you still afraid that he won't be able to escape?
The two rode their horses, chatting as they walked towards the valley.
Suddenly, there was a shout of killing in the distance.
Liu Chuang's heart tightened, and he hurriedly rode his horse to a mound to take a look. At the bend of the mountain road, dust and smoke billowed up. More than a dozen fast horses galloped out of the smoke and dust, and the knights on the horses were even more bruised. Immediately after, the sound of hooves sounded, and more and more people and horses galloped in.
Looking at the clothes, Liu Chuang breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, I thought that my own hiding was discovered, but now it seems that it has nothing to do with him.
The men were dressed almost identically, but the dozen or so people at the front wore armor. The pursuers behind them were even more desperate, bowstrings sounded, arrows whistled through the air, and several knights who fell behind fell from their horses with a series of screams.
And the knight who was running in the front, hearing the miserable screams, hurriedly reined in his horse and turned back.
"Second brother!"
He yelled, and set his horse to go back.
"Brother, let's go."
The dismounted knight rolled on the ground, then turned to his feet, and threw himself at the pursuing cavalry with his sword.
As he ran, he shouted loudly, "Brother Hugh wants to take care of me, leave quickly...... When you return to the mountain, you will avenge me. ”
As he spoke, he slashed at his pursuers who were coming at him. The chasing soldier at the head of the group was armed with a big axe, and without saying a word, he picked up the axe and cut it down. The knight raised his sword to meet him, but he heard the sound of the bell, and the big knife in his hand collided with the big axe, and immediately the knight used the horsepower of the axe to break the big knife in his hand, and the war horse under the crotch roared and pounced, knocking the knight out at once.
"Torture!"
The knight at the head was dumbfounded and hissed and roared.
But when he saw the great general with an axe coming to him, he restrained his horse.
"Dashuai, don't blame a certain family for being ruthless, if you don't block my future, how can the torture be against you."
"You ......"
"Today, Cao Sikong is serving the Son of Heaven to order the princes to occupy the right time and place.
He wants you and me to surrender, and he is also a way out with you and me. If you refuse to agree for a long time, will it be difficult for millions of brothers to follow you to continue to be bandits and bandits, and you will not be able to see anyone for the rest of your life? What happened to you today is really self-inflicted, don't blame me for not thinking about the robe. ”
After saying that, he didn't say a word, and the wheel axe rushed over.
And the knight, who was called 'Dashuai', was also furious.
"I just want to find a better way out for everyone, but I don't want you to dare to secretly collude with that ** thief and frame me."
"Dashuai, it's useless to say anything now, it's just up to you to see if you can get out of here alive."
Xing Meng had obviously reached the peak of qi cultivation, and he was about to enter the realm of refining gods.
The big axe in his hand was about sixty or seventy pounds, but in his hand it seemed to be like nothing, enveloping the 'handsome' in it.
At the same time, his retinue swarmed up behind him.
And the 'handsome' part is not afraid, standing with each other.
The martial arts of the 'handsome' are between the fierce and the fierce.
But looking at his gestures, he seemed to be injured, and soon fell into disadvantage.
The big axe in Xing Meng's hand danced more and more urgently, and at the same time laughed more rampantly: "Zhang Yan, you were entrusted by the handsome back then, and you have been sitting in this handsome position for nearly 20 years. ”
The big axe of the mountain was hung with a sharp wind, whistling and slashing.
The marshal twisted his gun to meet him, and at this moment he suddenly heard a bowstring sound, and a cold arrow hit his crotch war horse, and the war horse neighed, and the 'big handsome' overturned the horse. Seeing this situation, Xing Meng can still let it go. Riding a horse forward, the wheel axe will split. And after the 'big handsome' fell off the horse, when he saw the fierce axe coming, he couldn't help but close his eyes and said secretly: Could it be that I, Zhang Yan, will die here today?
In my ears, there was a faint sound of bowstring trembling.
A sharp arrow flew through the air with the power of ten thousand jun, and by the time the torture man reacted, the arrow had already arrived in front of him. He tried to dodge again, but it was too late. Hearing a pop and a loud scream, he fell off his horse, and a red-stemmed white feather arrow pierced through his neck, and there was no movement after he landed.
This god came with an arrow, and people couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
"How dare you be arrogant?"
Like a dragon carrying Liu Chuang, he rushed down from the hill like the wind.
I saw him holding a sword in his hand, and after breaking into the crowd, he divided the big sword left and right, and used it in a blocking style, and the two bandits were cut off by him.
Behind him, Yuan Chaonian led the Flying Bear Guard to rush over.
Yuan Chaonian held a sword in his hand, and the sword light was overwhelming.
Wherever the war horse passed, the bandits who stopped in front of him fell one after another...... Yuan Chaonian can also be regarded as having the true biography of Wang Yue, and he has not carried it for a moment in Yuan's mansion for more than a year, and his quick sword is superb. The killing of the torture has already confused the pursuers. Now the flying bear guard appeared again, and the pursuers suddenly couldn't resist it, and they dismounted one after another, abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
"This good man, please be merciful."
'Dashuai' also got up from the ground and shouted at Liu Chuang.
Liu Chuang reined in the horse and crossed the knife in front of him.
'Da Shuai' walked a few steps quickly, bowed in front of Liu Chuangma, and saluted, "Under Zhang Yan, thank you for your help." ”
"Are you...... Zhang Yan? ”
When Liu Chuang heard this name, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He looked carefully at the man in front of him, and saw that he was about forty years old, with long hair in a bun and a hood.
Looking at his face, this man is indeed dignified.
A pair of thick eyebrows, tiger eyes are blazing. Although his face was pale, he couldn't hide his heroic aura, and he only admired it in his heart.
"Mo is very Shanfeiyan can't do it?"
Zhang Yan's face suddenly showed a look of vigilance, and she subconsciously took a step back and stared at Liu Chuang.
Liu Chuang didn't care too much about his vigilance.
He looked Zhang Yan up and down, and suddenly said: "The humane Montenegrin is brave and good at fighting, and he has a good strategy, and there are millions of people under him.
Why is it so miserable today, being hunted down and killed? ”
Liu Chuang's words sounded like mockery, but Zhang Yan could feel the concern in those words.
He was also stunned for a moment, then looked Liu Chuang up and down, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said with a smile: "I also heard that the flying bear is brave and invincible, and he is the first fierce general of the Han Dynasty." But how can these people be the only ones who haunt the barren mountains and mountains, aren't they just like me? ”
This guy actually guessed his identity!
Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing, and immediately kicked off the horse.
"Humane Feiyan is thoughtful, and now I see that it really deserves its reputation."
"I also heard that the emperor's uncle is righteous and heroic, and it is a privilege to meet today...... Zhang Yan in the lower Changshan. ”
"I am the uncle of the Han Emperor, Liu Chuang."
The two of them said, you look at me, I look at you, but suddenly laughed.
"Zhang Dashuai, my troops are all in a valley in front of me, if you don't dislike it, go with me to rest."
"I don't dare to ask for it."
Zhang Yan bowed and saluted, and immediately walked up to the knight who had been killed by torture, stretched out his hand to help him up, and placed him on horseback.
He coughed violently, and his face turned even paler.
"Zhang Dashuai, is there something wrong with your body?"
"Uncle Huang smiled, but it was also because my royal majesty was not strict, I didn't know anyone, I was framed by the annihilators, and I suffered some minor injuries."
"I have a Liaodong ginseng pill here, you might as well take it, and you can also replenish your vitality."
Liu Chuang hurriedly took out a bottle from the pocket on his waist, poured out a ginseng pill from it and handed it to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan was not polite, took the ginseng pill and put it in his mouth. He glanced at the kneeling captives again, and his eyes showed regret.
"Uncle Huang, these people can't be let go, and I ask Uncle Huang to help me."
Liu Chuang didn't ask the reason, and as soon as he waved his hand, he saw Yuan Chaonian rushing forward with the Flying Bear Guard.
Seeing this, the captives shouted repeatedly, but Yuan Chaonian turned a deaf ear, his sword flashed, and he only killed a river of blood. The captives abandoned their horses, and it was not easy to escape. The Flying Bear Guard kept straddle his horse, chasing the captives for a while, and beheading more than forty people to the ground.
In the air, there was a strong smell of blood.
And Zhang Yan's face also improved a lot after swallowing the ginseng pill, and he closed his eyes and let out a sigh, "If it weren't for Uncle Huang, I would definitely die today." ”
"Dashuai, what's going on?"
Zhang Yan turned over and got on the horse and walked side by side with Liu Chuang.
It turned out that since Yuan Cao started the war, Zhang Yan had been paying attention to the situation.
It's not just Liu Chuang who is eyeing the black mountain thief in Zhang Yan's hands, but Cao ** is also coveting the black mountain thief in Zhang Yan's hands. For this reason, from the beginning of the sixth year of Jian'an, Cao ** began to woo Zhang Yan. It's just that although Yuan Shao was defeated at that time, his momentum still existed, and Zhang Yan was also unstable.
It was at this time that Liu Chuang sent Xun Chen to contact him.
Xun Chen said to Zhang Yan: Your millions of Black Mountain people defected to Cao **, how will he settle down?
In the end, it's not for the powerful family to be a servant or a slave...... Think about it, didn't you start with Zhang Jiao because you had no way out. Now that you have voted for Cao **, of course Cao ** will not be slacking off on you, but he may not be willing to be merciful to the Montenegrin people under you.
Although the Central Plains is rich, after all, the war is not endless.
Moreover, the Central Plains has a large population, and if you go, even Cao ** may not be able to resettle it.
Uncle Liu Huang is now in charge of Youzhou, dominating the north, and the state is in his hands sooner or later...... When the time comes, he will inevitably need a large number of people to fill the two places. And the millions of Black Mountain thieves in your hands can not only get their identity openly, but also get more land.
This really made Zhang Yan a little moved.
There is only so much arable land in the Central Plains, and there are more than 7 million people in Yuzhou alone.
He has millions of Black Mountain people in his hands, what will he live on after he goes down the mountain? Could it be that Cao ** still dares to take the land from the hands of the powerful family?
Although it is bitterly cold, it is not a big deal for the poor.
Now Liu Chuang is located in Saibei, and the land in his hands is vast...... If he is willing to accept his millions, then everyone can have a hope.
The most important thing is that he defected to Cao **, which is the icing on the cake and may not be reused; But if he defected to Liu Chuang, it was a charcoal in the snow, and it was a different situation. Is it the icing on the cake, or is it better to send charcoal in the snow? Zhang Yan also became extremely entangled because of this reason. (To be continued.)
