Chapter 43: Dare to run away with Liu!
In fact, Nanshan has long seen that the root cause of the conflict between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu is that with the decline of the national strength of the Han Dynasty, the officials who guard one side in various places have gradually disregarded the central authority.
Just like the Zhou royal family in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was only one "co-lord of the world" shelf, but there was no appeal, and the administrative management had basically become an ornament, lacking the status basis of upward and downward effects, so that Dong Zhuo manipulated the abolition of the emperor and Cao Cao narrowed the emperor to order the princes. This would have been unthinkable a few decades ago.
And as a member of the imperial family, a proper royalist representative, it is impossible for Liu Yu to compromise with these warlords who may become big. This is also an important reason why he repeatedly reduced the size and expenditure of the border army, and advocated the use of gentle methods against the Hu people, that is, he was afraid that Gongsun Zhan would use the border troubles as an excuse to raise his own dignity, and use the money, influence and name of the imperial court to expand his own strength.
In fact, the subsequent development also proved that Liu Yu's worries were not wrong.
In just five years, Gongsun Zhan, who felt that he was full-fledged, killed Liu Yu, who had always contradicted him, in the fourth year of Chuping, hijacked the imperial court envoys, and obtained the authorization of the governor's four northern states, becoming one of the powerful princes worthy of the name and qualified to compete for the world.
But this time, with his strong intervention, Gongsun Chan must have little hope.
Not to mention how great the merit of leading 500 people to sweep the grassland and occupy the nest of the Wuhuan people is, it is completely able to shake the world, just say that the 400-year-long country of the Han Dynasty is still there, and it will not treat a person of the imperial family who has been proven to have the strength to protect the rivers and mountains of the Great Han.
……
"Big brother, why are you in such a hurry to recruit us?"
Jizhou, Qinghe County, Gaotang County.
A red-faced man and a black-faced man hurried back from outside, and before they reached the gate of the county office, they jumped off their horses and gathered around a man whose hands were higher than his knees.
That's right, these three guys with their own characteristics are the three most famous Taoyuan brothers in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
In the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, and Liu Bei, who was only twenty-three years old, was awarded the title of county lieutenant of Anxi County for his meritorious service in suppressing the rebel army.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, because there were too many people with military merits, and there were more monks and less meat, and soon after, the imperial court issued an order: If anyone who became an official because of his military merits, he or she would be selected and eliminated. As for Liu Bei, because he had no money, he couldn't bribe and curry favor with Shangguan, and he was soon listed in the list of dismissed by the county's superintendent. Liu Bei wanted to ask to see him, but he was directly refused, so he held a grudge, and after whipping the superintendent, he fled with his brothers and his brothers, and began a career of exile in most of China.
He has successively taken refuge in Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Tao Qian, Liu Biao and other forces, and successively served as Xiami County Cheng, Gao Tang Wei, Gao Tang Ling, Sima of other departments, Pingyuan County Commander and other official positions, known as the first Chinese and foreign running kung fu in ancient and modern times.
I don't know if it's because of bad luck, or if it's because I was born to restrain others, as long as it's the forces that have been in contact with Liu Bei, there is no good result.
Like Gongsun Zhan, Kong Rong, Yuan Shao, Tao Qian, Liu Biao, etc., all of them were killed and annihilated, and even heroes like Cao Cao, when they were sheltering Liu Bei, they were also attacked by Lu Bu, and they almost lost the fundamental Yanzhou that they were standing in.
It's just bad luck with whom.
The problem, however, is that no one in the world today is really aware of this.
No, after discovering that Liu Yu was not very resistant to his request to send troops, Gongsun Zhan immediately sent a letter to ask him, a fellow disciple who he had met for a long time, to come over and help him.
"Great, there is still an opportunity to make meritorious contributions in Youzhou, stay here, and a bird will fade out every day, either to catch thieves, or to suppress bandits, grandma's, it's not a little challenging."
After knowing that this was the case, Zhang Fei, who was a little reckless, immediately applauded loudly.
Although Qinghe County, where they are located, is close to the gathering place of Qingxu Yellow Turbans, but when is it now, Taiping Dao has been cold for almost five years, and a group of Liukou Yellow Turban Army without spiritual leaders and major commanders, no matter how many they are, how can they be their opponents who are close to the strength of first-class military generals. If it weren't for Liu Bei's official position being too low, he didn't have the power to send troops alone, and the area where Qingxu and the Yellow Turban were located was complicated, so it was difficult to attack, they would have fought it a long time ago.
Guan Yu, who was standing silently on the side, also lit up after listening.
Based on the status and background of the three people, if it weren't for the fact that the imperial court allowed the people to recruit soldiers to attack the Taiping Dao during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they would not have been able to get the opportunity to become officials, and they would not even have the hope of being filial piety. Four hundred years of class solidification, has made the Han Dynasty's upward channel almost all controlled by the wealthy families, like them are not even as good as the good family of white warriors, don't want to compete at all, even military merits are often embezzled, otherwise, with the three of them in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, how can they only get a county lieutenant. Compared with spending a lifetime in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there are more opportunities to kill enemies in the border areas, and there are familiar people to take care of.
Liu Bei was not as urgent as the two of them showed, and only smiled lightly: "It can't be said that now, the Han Dynasty is in crisis, there are eunuchs, scholars, and generals fighting for power in three ways, and there are wealthy clans outside who continue to oppress civilians, but relying on the prestige of the emperor who has reigned for more than 20 years, he can still suppress everyone's ambitions, once he is gone, the Central Plains will immediately be full of smoke, and it is not the best choice to go to the border." ”
"Big brother, when did you become so smart."
Zhang Fei looked at his eldest brother with some surprise, and felt incredible, hasn't his eldest brother always been an official fan, how can he be so calm.
Could it be the impact of the newcomers?
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
A few more people came out of the county office, and after saying hello to Liu Bei, they stood there and explained.
"In fact, many people are aware of this matter, but no one wants to be the first bird, they are waiting for the best time to appear, to see who is the first to jump out, and they can justifiably expand their own power."
"How long will we have to wait?" Zhang Fei was a little impatient.
"Lord Yide doesn't need to worry, in my opinion, this matter will not exceed the end of next year at most." Coming to the confident way.
Obviously, to be able to know that Emperor Ling will die next year, and then Dong Zhuo will enter Beijing and rise up together, these people are all reincarnators who have entered the chaos, relying on their understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms, and plan to complete their main task by defecting to Liu Bei, but unfortunately, they are obviously half a bucket of water, and they don't realize where Liu Bei's really terrible place is.
