Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"Big brother, you are too much, my second brother and I are so sad!"
Spring is coming, everything begins to recover, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the spring flowers continue to spread the breath of spring to the surroundings with their proud posture, and at the same time attract beautiful bees and butterflies to carry out the ancient rituals from ancient times.
This is a season full of vitality, this is a season of life, a new cycle starts from here, a new life also begins to be conceived here, everywhere you can see all kinds of animals in their own ways to pursue those who make their hearts move, fighting, showing, singing...... Just to be able to spread the information that I once had in this world to the world.
And human beings, as advanced animals, do not seem to be able to violate the laws that come from nature.
"Second brother, third brother, this ...... You see, Wan Niang and I are related to my uncle's hand. Yide knows that since his brother's father died, if there was no uncle's constant help, his brother and widow would have starved to death in a foreign land, so his brother has always regarded his uncle as his own father, so the family business set by his uncle for his brother is like the order of his parents, which is really inviolable. As for Qian'er, her parents died at a young age, and she was lonely, and it was not easy to come all the way from Peiguo to this place, in order to admire our brother's reputation, and the two younger brothers would never want to trust our children to be displaced and victimized by thieves......"
"Big Brother ......" x2, I have to say that Liu Bei's infectious power is indeed first-class, just a few words, coupled with his sad expression and slightly sad voice, made his two righteous brothers burst into tears, almost ashamed to death.
And then appropriately express that it is not the elder brother who snubbed the two younger brothers for other reasons. and threw out the bait to sleep in the same bed with his two younger brothers, and immediately made the two of them forget the purpose of their trip.
Of course, maybe their goal has already been achieved.
"Envoy Liu, the news has just come that Lord Zhou Mu wants you to go to Tancheng, it seems that there are important matters to discuss."
Just when the three of them were dreaming about the "good life" at night, a slightly bookish voice destroyed the original peach-colored atmosphere here, but it was a pity to see who it was, even the third master, who had always been short-tempered, suddenly extinguished the fire in his chest, and could only mumble there. Don't know what to say. It's probably nothing more than cursing the other party for buying instant noodles without a package or something.
Of course, the last sentence is a joke.
"It turned out to be Yuanlong. I was thinking that it was time for you to return after going out for so long, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. I don't know how Yuanlong felt about this trip, and whether he encountered any danger? In addition, Yuanlong is well-informed. I don't know what Tao Envoy Jun has to do at this time to summon Bei to discuss? ”
"Haha. Liu Yuanjun couldn't treat Deng as a child. The bandits in the mountains and wilderness can be expelled and surrendered by the king. As for Tao Yuanjun, I'm afraid that Liu Yuanjun already knows it. Otherwise, why did I see a lot of people going to recruit in front of the military camp outside the city, and Tao Envoy Jun ordered Liu Envoy Jun to recruit Taishan Zangba, Sun Kang, Sun Guan and other thieves, in the name of crusading against the Yellow Turban Yu and Xia Pi called the emperor thief Que Xuan, but Que Xuan and his ilk are just local chickens and dogs, where can there be a heroic figure like Liu Yuanjun. ”
It turned out that the person who came was Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong, a native of Xiapi, and his father was Chen Qi, who was once Peixiang, and his uncle was even more famous - Chen Qiu, a famous minister of Yongle Shaofu, who was Taiwei, Sikong and Ling Emperor Liu Hong.
Well, speaking of this Chen Qiu is really interesting, not to mention other glorious deeds, just mention one point, that is, when he was in charge of the management of Yongle Shaofu, that is, the management of royal internal affairs, Liu Hong arranged a work to build the tomb of the first emperor, that is, Emperor Huan Liu Zhi, as a result, this person not only did not waste extravagantly, but also saved a lot, known as "more than 10,000 provinces" in history. This shows what kind of person this person is, and what kind of influence he has in Shilin.
Although he was finally imprisoned and died because he was involved in the political struggle with the eunuchs, he did not live up to his wisdom throughout his life. Under his education, the Chen family in Xiapi emerged such outstanding heroes as Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son, who not only preserved themselves and their families in the secrecy of the late Han Dynasty, but also made some achievements, which made people admire.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that, according to the research of some descendants, the Pi Chen family was not originally surnamed Chen, but the descendants of the surname Liu of the Han clan, but because of the great persecution of the Liu clan during Wang Mang's rebellion, he was incognito to avoid trouble in the countryside.
However, the above statement is just a family statement, and no one can say whether history is really like this, but it cannot be denied that the Xiapi Chen family has an extraordinary influence in Xuzhou, and Chen Deng is the leader of this generation.
Although Chen Deng did not become filial piety until he was twenty-five years old, he immediately went to Dongyang County, Guangling County to be the county magistrate, and raised the orphans and elders when he was in office, educated the people, especially pacified the local water thieves who had been plagued for many years, and showed his extremely comprehensive ability in both civil and military affairs. This also made Tao Qian, who came to Xuzhou to serve as the assassin historian, immediately promoted him to the rank of captain of the agricultural school to deal with the famine in Xuzhou at that time due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
can meet Chen Deng's ability and background, and his career in Xuzhou will not be hindered at all.
But at this time, the son of a local family in Xuzhou, who worked in Tao Qian, abandoned his original job and chose to serve under Liu Bei soon after Liu Bei came to Xuzhou.
It can be said that in addition to the two brothers, Chen Deng should be the person who knows Liu Bei the most so far, and even his understanding of Liu Bei is more than Pan Gong and Zhang Fei, after all, the life and death of the brothers in the latter two's feelings for Liu Bei have made them often not make their own interpretations of some of Liu Bei's behaviors, as long as support is enough for them.
Therefore, Chen Dengzhi is like Liu Bei's confidant, although the two brothers are like a husband and wife who share hardships and hardships. But Chen Deng's interpretation flower is also an irreplaceable existence in Liu Bei's life.
Hey? I always felt that the atmosphere around me seemed to be a little strange, as if some handsome guy with twelve pairs of black wings on his back was waving to me, and if I answered this call, it seemed that the whole world would be very different.
Ahem, the book is back to business.
For Chen Deng's initiative to vote, although Pan Gong, a person who is mixed in the bottom society, feels a little strange, but seeing that he and his eldest brother are talking happily and hating each other, he will not say more, after all, the family behind Chen Deng has great influence in Xuzhou, even if it is just an equal interaction with Liu Bei, it will have great benefits to Liu Bei, who has just arrived. Not to mention taking the initiative to help Liu Bei as a supporting role. Even if Liu Bei is now in the entire territory of the Han Dynasty, he has a low reputation. But after all, it's only by force, even if there is a good teacher, it's still a bit congenital deficient after all.
As for Zhang Sanye...... Well, what this Zhang Laosan admires most in his life are three kinds of people - those who can fight like him, those who are more knowledgeable than him and those who can drink better than him. As for whether it's a man or a woman, don't enter. You don't see a certain Lori with three complete things, which makes Lao Zhang stunned. When I saw it, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and I was more respectful than my own old man.
Although Chen Deng's strength cannot be compared with the third master, the amount of alcohol can only be regarded as an ordinary person. But not only is it full of real talent and learning, but more importantly, it is bold, and it is very much of an appetite for the third master, and it doesn't even need to be able to make friends to get his approval.
With the help of Chen Deng, Liu Bei not only got acquainted with the Mizhu brothers in the East China Sea, Ying Shao Ying Zhongyuan, a native of Taishan Taishou Runan, and Chen Liuren, who was too guarded by Jiujiang to keep Bian Wenli and other celebrities, but also got such excellent and capable officials as Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou, Yuan Lian, and Yuan Yaoqing, so that Liu Bei not only continued to maintain military strength, but also greatly improved his internal affairs, not only allowing the people of Langxi County under his rule to live and work in peace and contentment, but also allowing the people of surrounding counties to come and join him.
It can be said that in less than half a year, with Liu Bei's personal charm and Chen Deng's strong support, Liu Beijun has faintly become the second-ranked power group in Tao Qian's army, and the limelight is close to Cao Bao, who ranks first and has the most elite Danyang Soldier Corps under Tao Qian's army. Even if you count those Taishan thieves who have taken refuge in Tao Qian but have a strong independence, and the Donghai Mi family, a business giant in Xuzhou who has a good relationship with Liu Bei, Liu Bei's influence can even compete with Tao Qian.
Therefore, even if Tao Qian, who is a pastor of Xuzhou, wants to make any big moves now, he can't bypass Liu Bei's figure.
This is indeed a surprising exhibition.
But that's not the most surprising.
What is really the most surprising thing is the attitude of Tao Qian, who is a pastor of Xuzhou, on this matter.
In the face of Liu Bei's growing influence, the unshakable ruler of Xuzhou did not seem to have a trace of anxiety, even if there was some dirt between Liu Bei and his first general, Cao Bao, he did not take the opportunity to favor Cao Bao to suppress Liu Bei, such behavior in addition to Liu Bei was quite moved, but also made people wonder: After a hundred years of the old Tao Qian, his two talented sons are not very outstanding, can they control Liu Bei's dragon across the river?
But anyway, judging from the current situation, at least when Tao Qian was alive, his status was as stable as Mount Tai. As for what happened after his death...... Not to mention that the battle between the two Yuans that determined the future direction of the Central Plains political territory was enough to attract the attention of most people of insight, even if Xuzhou really gave birth to something, in the eyes of many people, in the face of the two Yuans who were destined to take Xuzhou as their important exhibition direction, it was also insignificant.
Obviously, under Er Yuan's powerful aura, it seems that too many hidden ninjas are covered, but even these people who have hidden their light hope to be able to play a different role in this upcoming battle than in the script in Er Yuan's heart.
“…… So this time, we will gather troops on the surface, completely extinguish the traitor Que Xuan, and secretly annex Peixian, ready to attack Yanzhou from the flank at any time, and wave the flag and shout for the rear general. What do you think? ”
None of the people who were eligible to participate in this meeting made expressions of surprise or surprise when they heard this, and although they did not make any gestures of approval or even praise, no one seemed to have any intention of objecting.
It is better to say that they have been mentally prepared enough for the decision itself, and have made enough preparations in accordance with this decision, and today's memories are just going through the motions on this issue.
"The old man is already old. Maybe in the eyes of some people, he is already a half-cut person, and the old man does not intend to deny this. But although the old man was admitted to Zhusheng very early, he started to work in the state and county, and then he was promoted to Maocai, all the way from Shu County Order to Yilang, and he also did the history of Youzhou's assassination. However, he never thought that he had experienced the disaster of the party, and was forced to live in seclusion in the countryside for the justice in his heart, until the Yellow Turban thieves rebelled and had the opportunity to serve the Han again. So although it does seem that I am not as energetic and energetic as young people, I don't want to be a mediocre guy because of my age.
So after coming to Xuzhou, with the help of the kings, I pacified those thieves who were in chaos. Let the weary people no longer suffer from hunger and cold. Give them the opportunity to be rich, and then educate them about how they can maintain that abundance.
But this country is now in the midst of a great catastrophe, and the people of this country are now in the midst of a great catastrophe. Rebel rebellion. Tempting the people to become accomplices of the rebels with small favors. Use powerful force to coerce ordinary people into rebellious thieves. This world is so chaotic and crazy, I Tao Gongzu is not talented, but I don't want to continue like this.
Beihai Kong Wenju. What an excellent person, if he was placed in the era of Qingping, he would definitely be able to become a good official on the indoctrination side, but now the whole family has died at the hands of traitors, so that the inheritance of culture has been cut off. Hearing this news made me unable to eat for several days, because it was not the death of one or two people, but the barbaric trampling of civilization, which made people's hearts ache.
So I hope that the whole of Xuzhou can understand how ridiculous it is to think that just a corner of the peace, thinking that you can avoid Xuzhou from falling into chaos by taking care of this little thing in front of you, and the chaos of this era is always constantly invading those peaceful places, crushing that tranquility and sowing nightmares. Unless the source of the scourge is extinguished, there will not even be a place in this world where I can read quietly.
Chaos must end.
I originally thought that the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family were capable of saving this crisis. So when they called for the formation of a coalition, I actively participated in it, hoping to contribute my own Weibo power. But what do I see? Narrow-minded, jealous, and on the surface they constantly preach the righteousness they possess to others, but behind the scenes they do things that are not much different from those thieves, and today, when you look at the world, they have become the greatest source of trouble.
But even so, they are much better than those who only know how to destroy, and that's why I've endured so much so far, and I want to give them another chance to see what they can do to put an end to this mess. If so, then we can help him to do the job instead of adding to the uneasiness of this chaotic world.
And these are my thoughts on Tao Gongzu's past and present.
Xuande once gave me a poem, which is said to have been written by Li Xue, the pastor of Bingzhou, for his ancestor Tongyuan, called: "Turtle Although Shou", one of the sentences "Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambition is thousands of miles." In the last years of the martyrs, the heart is strong. 'Well written, well written!' Ever since I heard this poem, I've been using it a lot to encourage myself. If the former robe is still fighting, why can't I do it?
The upcoming battle will determine the future direction of the world, so please cheer up the spirit of twelve, when the time comes, not only can you worship the general, but also can leave your own glorious reputation in the history, so that future generations can bow to us.
Therefore, for this battle, you must fight hard and work hard to move forward! ”
Tao Qian's words moved some people and confused others. But when Tao Qian saw that Liu Bei beside him could no longer hide his thoughts with calm because he was excited, Tao Qian's face showed a satisfied smile.
Although he is already old, and his descendants don't seem to be very competitive, it also gives him a chance to touch the taste of the world. Ever since he saw the shocking scene of the meteor falling to the ground, he has made such a vow in his heart. And now he could feel that he had never been closer to the fulfillment of his wish.
A few days later, the army marched.
Xuzhou participated in the war with a total of two corps of nearly 100,000 people.
Among them, Liu Bei was the commander of the Northern Front Corps, including the Lang Evil Army, which had just completed the expansion, and Zang Ba and other more than 10,000 Taishan thieves who returned to Tao Qian. In terms of generals, not only does he have the powerful Zhang Fei and Zhang Sanye, but the newly returned bandit Zang Ba also has quite excellent martial arts, and he also has a flying stone skill that is no less than Xu Chu, and the rest of the people such as Pan Gong, Sun Guan, Mi Fang and others are also quite good generals and can play the role of the backbone of the army. At the same time, the Northern Front Corps also has Chen Deng, a staff officer who is both civil and military, which can allow Liu Bei to more effectively integrate the combat effectiveness of the Northern Front Corps. In addition, there is also a young man named Zhuge Mi from the Lang Evil Zhuge family, who is also very much worth looking forward to as the liaison between Liu Bei and the Taishan thief.
The main offensive direction of the Northern Front Corps is Qingzhou, and the enemy to be faced is the old friend Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Yuan Shao has done well in Qingzhou recently with the assistance of Guo Tu and others, although he can't go against the sky with Liu Bei in Langxie, but it has gradually begun to reverse the unfavorable situation of Yuan Shao's side in Qingzhou, especially when Gongsun Chan can't give enough support to Qingzhou, the encroachment and oppression of Tian Kai have become more and more unscrupulous.
The commander of the Southern Front Corps is Tao Qian's confidant Cao Bao and another general who is also Tao Qian's confidant and Tao Qian's fellow countryman. Needless to say, the former is not only a fellow villager of Tao Qian, but also an influential Buddhist leader in Xuzhou, and the Buddha Bathing Society he founded has also been quite developed with Tao Qian's acquiescence, and now the number of believers gathered around Zhenrong alone has exceeded 1,000.
Of course, we will talk about this person's actions and evaluations later.
Although the Southern Front Corps has the most elite Danyang soldiers under Tao Qian, the overall combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the Northern Front Corps, after all, Liu Bei's Hundred Battle Elite and Taishan Thieves are extremely outstanding troops, and they also have a large number of excellent generals and the assistance of wise men like Chen Deng. However, unlike the Northern Front Corps, which may directly attack the core area ruled by Yuan Shao, the main task of the Southern Front Corps is to cooperate with Yuan Shujun's battle, and if they can stand aside as a cheerleader, it may be more in line with Cao Bao and others - not only do they not need to worry about accidental injuries due to the war, but they can also get to know some famous people in Shilin.
Therefore, although the overall strength of the Southern Front Corps cannot be compared with that of the Northern Front Corps, neither the commander Cao Bao nor the deputy marshal Zhenrong expressed any dissatisfaction with this, and perhaps even they themselves know what their abilities are suitable for.
After several years of operation, Xuzhou's warplane, which has a huge discount, has been restarted.
Pan Sen: The last day of the month, although it doesn't mean much to us.
Pan Sen 2: Xueba's new book is on Sanjiang, well, we think it's quite interesting. (To be continued!)
