—180 A.D.——

During the Xiping period, Sili had a great plague, and there were rebel generals Bian and Han in Xiliang who took advantage of the situation with Qianghu, swept Liangzhou, and forced Chang'an, Emperor Ling was furious, and worshiped Huangfu Song as the general of the expedition to the west, and recruited 100,000 warriors from Hanoi, Henan, and Hedong, and marched west to quell the rebellion.

This Hedong County is Qinzhi, the governance is located in Anyi, under the jurisdiction of twenty-four counties, because of the production of salt and iron, and close to the land of the state to produce horses, so there have always been skilled people with bows and horses, especially after meteorites fell from the sky.

Among the twenty-four counties, there is a county named Xie Liang, also known as Xie County, there is a cold scribe in the county, called Guan Shen, who is familiar with the works of the sages, especially the "Spring and Autumn", "Zhou Yi", and likes to educate his son with loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and bravery, so that his son Guan Yi is miserable.

Because the Guan Shen is quite popular in the county, and he is also a good hand at handling political affairs, the successive county orders have hired him to engage in civil affairs in the county.

However, as the manpower was sometimes poor, and as he grew older, Guan Shen gradually became unable to handle political affairs, and finally died of old age in the third year of Yongshou (157) and was succeeded by his son.

Guan Lao, who was idle, had more time to educate his son, Guan Yi became more and more distressed, but his filial piety, he did not dare to disobey his father, and finally thought of a clever plan after discussing with his friends - he quickly married his childhood sweetheart who was originally interested in each other, and gave birth to a son in the second year of Yanxi (160 years), handed over to Guan Shen to take care of, and successfully got rid of the old man's thoughts of "loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and bravery", and the effect was outstanding.

As for his son Guan Yu Guan Changsheng, he will probably be educated to be a literati who is familiar with "Spring and Autumn" and "Zhou Yi"? This one...... It's good that my father is happy.

After the collapse of Emperor Huan, Emperor Ling ascended the throne, and the new emperor was very fond of collecting money, and promoted officials who could make money quickly, but the Guan father and son were better at maintaining the status quo in the means of governing government affairs, and there was no way to increase income significantly, so they were gradually disliked by the county order.

In the third year of Xiping (176 years), during the plague of Sili, Guan Shen died at the age of eighty-eight, the old man was not infected, but he was about to live a long time, and he was worried about the epidemic in Xie County, Hedong, and even Sili, and finally overworked. Before his death, he still tried to educate his grandson, but he could no longer explain at length, so he had to repeatedly advise: "Read "Spring and Autumn", read more "Spring and Autumn".

"The grandson obeys his grandfather's orders." Guan Yu, who was sixteen years old at the time, bowed deeply, and when he raised his head again, Guan Zhen had already left with a smile, and there were faint petal phantoms falling in the air.

Because Guan Yi is highly respected, nearly ninety years old, a future has already been prepared, and the family is also surprised by this, so it can be called "happy funeral", when Guan Yi was ready to instruct the servants to make relevant preparations, but saw Guan Yu walking in front of him, and said with sadness: "People can't 'live forever', please ask your father to give the word again." ”

Guan Yi sighed: "In this way, you will be called 'Yun Chang'." ”

Although it was a happy funeral, Guan Yi still needed to resign and keep filial piety for three years, during which there was a strange situation of expelling Taiping Dao, Xiliang rebelling, Si Li being under martial law, many officials were inexplicably transferred, and some were even directly imprisoned.

After Guan Yi's filial piety was completed, the Xie Liang County Order and a cadre of officials had been replaced with friends of relatives under the "Ten Standing Servants...... In short, it is a group of dumb officials who just want to make money and have no intention of developing and governing at all, and they don't pay attention to those "celebrities" who have local prestige like Guan Yi.

Guan Yi? Former civil affairs engaged in? Is filial piety finished? That's it. Reinstated? Let's talk about it - Guan Yi got the news from those low-level officials who couldn't be replaced and couldn't be replaced.

At this time, he finally recalled his father's occasional expression when he read "Spring and Autumn" and "Zhou Yi", which was a kind of pathos of "knowing that history will repeat itself, but trying to stop it but not finding a way".

Eight hundred years of the Great Zhou, it is precisely because of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Rebellion caused by the Guangfeng Zhuhou kings, after Qin unified the world, the establishment of the "county system" can effectively prevent this kind of thing from happening, but after the Han Dynasty Qin, and after Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, the stupid method of dividing the Hou State has been turned out again, counting the reigning Emperor Ling, there have been four consecutive emperors who are succeeded by the side branches of the Hou State that are divided out, coupled with the arrogance of the "Ten Standing Servants", so if it continues, as long as there is something that can hit the prestige of the Han Dynasty hard, It will fall apart like the Great Zhou.

Fortunately, the plague was not, and even less was the border rebellion.

And his father will ask Guan Yu to read "Spring and Autumn" well, probably to let him understand the current trend and make the right choice when the new "Spring and Autumn" happens......

"Father!" Guan Yu rushed in: "The imperial court recruited warriors in Sanhe to go to Xiliang to quell the rebellion, and the child also wants to serve the imperial court!" ”

Where did you read about Spring and Autumn?!

————

Guan Yu is nearly twenty years old now, nine feet tall, with phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, wearing a green robe, dignified appearance, majestic, quite famous in the nearby ranger group, but there is no sign of "unparalleled awakening", a long-handled broadsword is extremely exquisite, and it is not a problem to teach wild thieves and thieves and weaker "unequaled awakened people" at all, but if it is against the stronger "unequaled warriors", it is basically difficult to win.

Guan Yu naturally likes Spring and Autumn very much, especially Zhao Hao, Lian Po, Le Yi, Tian Dan, Wang Qian, Li Mu, Sun Bin, and Bai Qi

, Wu Qi and Sun Wu.

Although the wise men and strategists who "strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away" may sound powerful, those generals who actually carry out orders and fight bloodily for them will become foils and look very stupid.

If a "strategist" tells him what to do in two states, he will not be bothered.

He cares about longevity...... What Guan Yunchang yearns for is the kind of "handsome talent" who can not only lead the army to fight, but also fight alone, and can also adapt to the battlefield to determine a winning strategy - and Huangfu Song is such a person.

Although the "Sword Saint" Wang Yue is famous all over the world, and many peerless awakened people are also emerging in endlessly, but Huangfu Song, who has never used the "Peerless" record at all, led his subordinate soldiers to defeat many guys who thought they were destined to return after awakening, and the nearest one seems to be the district star of Yangzhou.

The previous expedition was either Yangzhou or Yizhou, because the road was too far, Huangfu Song would not recruit troops in Sili, so it was impossible for Guan Yu to join this army, and now he was conscripting Xiliang, and he needed a large number of cavalry, so he would recruit the "Three Rivers Knights" in Hedong, and finally made Guan Yu find an opportunity, and after explaining to his father, he rushed out with his long pole knife.

The imperial court conscription has always been based on the county, and the recruitment sign is hung near the military camp in the city, and those who sign up for the army only need to do a simple registration, if the official in charge is a local, they don't even need to register, everyone looks down and doesn't look up, are you embarrassed to ask the name?

But when Guan Yu rushed to the conscription office, he found that it was surrounded and there were people shouting loudly.

"You have to pay a thousand dollars to join the army?! Make it clear, we're going to work hard, you should give us money! "Do you dare to play with the imperial conscription? Beware of General Huangfu cutting you down! "This prefectural order can't be done—"

After Guan Yu squeezed into the crowd, he found that the person in charge of recruiting soldiers was indeed the subordinate of the county commander who was transferred to make money, and he looked fearless: "I said, this time General Huangfu wants to recruit cavalry, formed cavalry, not only do you have no horses, but your weapons are still short, and you are completely unqualified, this thousand yuan is the cost of equipping you with war horses, armor and horse weapons for the imperial court, as for military salaries, our own General Huangfu is responsible, and we are only responsible for collecting 'qualified' cavalry." ”

As he spoke, he asked the servant next to him to bring out a piece of leather armor and put it on the table.

What this little official said was clear-eyed, and the armor looked pretty good, so although there were still people shouting "not worth it", there was not much momentum.

Only Guan Yu, who knew the inside story, frowned, his grandfather and father were both engaged in the civil affairs of this county, and they could say everything clearly about what was in the county, although they were considered confidential, but it was nothing if the grandson heard them when the father and son were discussing official affairs.

Those so-called war horses, armor and horse weapons are basically the harvest of the rangers in Liangzhou and Bingzhou to exterminate horse thieves, and the real good things have long been taken away by the people who captured them, and the remaining medium and inferior products are scattered to the surrounding counties and counties, and slowly sold to people who are not so picky, there is really no one to want, the horses are taken to pull the carts, and the broken armor and weapons are recast.

But listen to these guys, and are you going to sell them for a price to soldiers who are going to fight the traitors?

Guan Yu had no doubt that the "county order" had turned these things upside down as if they were "worth a thousand dollars", at least they couldn't be seen during the entire march, but once there was a battle, the people who used them would be killed for it, and then ...... Fighting is to kill people, and where does death come from without proof?

Now that you tell the truth, there is no way to directly expose the lie, so there is only one way......

Guan Yu squeezed out the crowd without saying a word, and rushed to the county government with a familiar car, "Spring and Autumn", and related historical materials, in addition to famous generals, there are also a group of people who have aroused Guan Yu's interest, their names are, Zhuan Zhu, Yao Li, Nie Zheng and Jing Ke.

This was not his temporary intention, in fact, it was the inaction and indiscriminate actions of these guys during the plague that made my grandfather worry day and night, contact his old subordinates to arrange for epidemic prevention, and finally died of overwork.

As for the consequences of beheading that dumb official? Before, he said that he had joined the army in the past, and at least thousands of people in the county were using the long-handled knife, which was so ordinary that it could no longer be ordinary, as long as no one found out, he would cut it down with a knife, and then go to other places to join the army under the pretext of being dissatisfied with the conscription office......

"I'm sorry, this strong man, I can't let you through." When Guan Yu was about to arrive at the county office, a young man wearing a black power suit, holding black and white swords like ornaments in both hands, with kind eyebrows but a serious expression, stopped on the road: "Although he deserves to die, he should not die in your hands, after we collect enough evidence, we will hand him over to General Huangfu for disposal." ”

We"? Guan Yu frowned and looked at the young man's side, where there was a young man who looked older than him and had a big red gun on his back standing against the wall, forming a corner with him, obviously ready to help if something was wrong.

"In Xia Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, who is Your Excellency?" In the end, Guan Yu put down the long knife and said so.

"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande." The young man smiled.
