However, it was said that Deng Sheng, in order to avenge the killing of his brother and suppress the revenge of the Yellow Turban Army, raised hundreds of soldiers in Dengtun, practiced martial arts, and waited for an opportunity to make a move. Most of the strong men were hungry outsiders who had no parents and no wives and children, and as they grew older, they witnessed the Deng and Yin clans intermarrying and reuniting with each other, and their desire to start a family was revealed from time to time. Deng Sheng got along with them day and night, how could he not know, so he asked Yin Da to discuss.

Yin Da said: "Now the court is deaf, the relatives and eunuchs are fighting, and the world is in chaos. Those who are willing to stay are heroes who are not afraid of death, it is better to recall the old department, regroup, enter the Beijing Division, and overthrow the Han Court, which can not only report the enmity of the brothers, but also make these heroes get ahead one by one and seal their wives and sons. ”

Deng Sheng's analysis believes that first, after the Yellow Turban Army was suppressed, most of them were either killed in battle or captured in the army, and the survivors died everywhere, making it difficult to recall; Second, although the bureaucratic warlords and the powerful tribes in various places fought against each other, they were all for the sake of competing for power and interests, and once they encountered a peasant rebellion and endangered their respective rights, they would inevitably work together to encircle and suppress them, and they would never be soft-hearted. The third is that the "great sages and good teachers" founded the Taiping Dao and led the uprising, just to want peace in the world and enable the people to live an equal and stable life. How could he have more than enough heart but not enough strength, but he was defeated and died. People are self-aware, and it is enough to think that we, ordinary people, can make the old folks live a stable life in this turbulent era.

Deng Sheng's remarks were like a scoop of cold water poured on him, and Yin Da was a little puzzled: "If you have no ambition, have you forgotten even the promise to avenge Deng Mao's cousin?" ”

Deng Sheng said: "There are many living beings in the world, and there are many people with ambitions and desires. How many can get their wish? More often than not, they spend their lives complaining about 'unmet talents', 'unpaid ambitions', and 'difficult ambitions'. There are a few people who are outstanding and famous, and those who are successful are called by the world as 'brilliant and ambitious' since childhood, and are praised by others, while those who fail are said to be 'self-defeating and ambitious' and spurned. Thinking about the children of the emperor and the general, there is no shortage of people who have no ink on their chests, wine bags and rice bags, but they all follow their fathers, and they still ride on the heads of the people as blessings and might, life, luck, and time! As for avenging my brother, I will never forget it. It is often said that 'a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late', and the brother's enmity is not a personal grudge, if these innocent brothers let their lives be in vain, I can't bear it. ”

Yin Da said: "Regroup and rebel again, you don't think it's okay; Kill the enemy with your strength and avenge your brother, but you don't want to. There is not much grain and grass and property in the store, so simply scatter them, so as not to sit and eat empty, and then we will go to find the 'Taoyuan brothers' to take revenge." ”

Deng Mao shook his head and said, "No." These brothers are homeless, and if they are scattered, or taken prisoner as soldiers, or reduced to a tribe, or ganged up as thieves, or wander the rivers and lakes, they will have no fixed place to live, and they may not have peace. ”

Yin Da said: "Although Cousin Deng Mao is brave, he always follows your words. I believe in you even more, and everything is subject to your arrangement. Deng Sheng said the plan that had been carefully considered for a few days, and Yin Da had nothing to do, so he immediately brought the captains of each team to agree, and then gathered a hundred strong men and Deng Tun men, assigned tasks, and began to implement them according to the plan.

For more than a year, a village courtyard that can accommodate 100 families was built in the remote highlands equal to the distance between the three miles west of the Taoist temple and the Dengtun on the east side of the Taoist temple. The family of the man surnamed Yin who originally lived in Dengtun and the foreign warriors of the first to third teams moved to this village, the name of the village was Yingang, and exchanged 20 war horses for a group of ploughing cattle, and reclaimed the barren hills and sandy slopes around for the villagers to cultivate. The Deng Tun house vacated by the Yin family was moved in by the rest of the strong men. He also hired a teacher to preside over the Taoist temple and teach the children who are willing to learn in Liangzhuang to read and write. He also built a charity shed next to the Taoist temple to give porridge and food to the hungry people who fled the famine.

In those turbulent times, war consumed countless lives and torn apart tens of thousands of families. "I don't see anything when I go out, and the plains are covered with bones. There are hungry women on the road, holding their children and abandoning the grass. The advisor sobbed, waving his tears and not returning. I don't know where I died, how can I finish both? The famous poet Wang Cang's "Seven Mourning Poems" is a true portrayal of the tragic scene that the ears could not bear to hear and see. Deng Sheng and Yin Da led several strong men to give porridge and rice, relief to the women and girls who were displaced and left their hometowns and wells on the way here, and also married some school-age women who voluntarily left behind their fathers who were widowed and had nothing to rely on, and settled in Dengtun and Yingang with the strong men respectively, and many people also changed their surnames to Deng and Yin, and gradually integrated into one. After that, Deng Sheng married a Yin woman and married a cousin of his family to Yin Da. Liangzhuang is located in a remote and remote place, which belongs to the three counties, and the turbulent situation of the times, the county is too busy to take care of itself, and the whip is beyond the reach; From time to time, some powerful bullies provoked and harassed, but they were beaten and fled by Deng Sheng and Yin Da led by hundreds of strong men in Liangzhuang. Under the leadership of Deng Sheng and Yin Da, the young and strong men of Liangzhuang insisted on practicing martial arts while cultivating wasteland; The women of each family worked diligently, and they raised their husbands and children. In the past four or five years, there is more than enough food, herds of cattle and horses, pigs and sheep are full of circles, chickens and ducks are flying, the sunrise is made, and the sunset is resting.

In the minds of the people of Liangzhuang Zhuang, Deng Sheng is the savior, the hero, and the backbone. There is nothing unadmirable in his deeds, nothing disbelievable in his words, and no disobedience in his commands. Although Deng Tun and Yin Gang are divided into two villages, the villagers regard them as one village, and support Deng Sheng as the owner of the big village, and Yin Da as the owner of the second village, and Yin Da is all subject to Deng Sheng's arrangement. Since Deng Sheng joined the Taiping Dao, he was influenced by Taoist thought, believing that "everyone is born without nobility and cheapness", and longed for peace in the world and equality for everyone, so he and his brother Deng Mao actively joined the Yellow Turban Army. The reality of the failure of the uprising made him feel that although he had the desire for "peace in the world", he did not have the ability to "turn the Kun Kun back to the sky", and it was unwise to act against the law when he knew that he could not do it. Therefore, he does not advocate regrouping and rebelling again, but just wants to lead the villagers to open up a peaceful and peaceful oasis with his own ability. Now I am very pleased to see that the villagers of Liangzhuang can live and work in peace and contentment, and live in harmony. However, although he was extremely concerned about the safety of the strong man's life, he never forgot to avenge his brother. Every year on Qingming and Chinese New Year's Eve, Deng Sheng and Yin Da led the Zhuang people to pay respects at the graves of Deng Gong and Deng Mao, and designated March 15 every year as the day when Deng Mao was killed in the uprising.

After returning from the memorial and condolences on this day, the original ten teams of strong men were gathered in the Taoist temple to listen to the spy situation of the previous year and arrange the spy mission of the year. Since the 100 heroes were organized into 10 teams, starting from the first team, a team divided into five groups was sent every year to infiltrate or approach the Yellow Turban warlord troops, focusing on tracking and spying on the Taoyuan brothers, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and other leaders and culprits who directly killed Deng Mao and other leaders of the uprising. Deng Sheng agreed with the public: return on March 15 every year, report the situation, and replace the next team; The task of each team is only to spy on their whereabouts, and they should consult with each other in case of trouble, be cautious and cautious, and not allow one person to take the risk of assassination; In case of emergency, one person can be sent back to the village immediately to report, and after formulating measures, act according to the plan; If you don't want to miss a great opportunity, you can act on your own initiative, but you have to ensure your personal safety and so on. When each team was replaced, Deng Sheng repeatedly reiterated the rules and regulations, and repeatedly emphasized that he could not exchange his life for his life, saying that "the revenge of the dead must be avenged, and the lives of the living must not be lost." Everyone was grateful.

On the first day of the first month of the first month of the Gengwu year, Deng Sheng and Yin Da gathered the villagers in the Taoist temple to celebrate the New Year's Day, and suddenly saw a group of two people who followed Huangfu Song and returned on horseback, Yin Da asked: "Why did you come back early?" He replied: "Last year, Emperor Ling died of illness, and He Jin supported Liu Zhuo as the young emperor, and secretly ordered Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing. The eunuch killed He Jin, and Yuan Shao slaughtered the palace to destroy the eunuch. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he abolished Liu Wei and established Liu Xie as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and killed Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei to seize power. Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song have always had old hatreds, and after conquering the northwest and forming new grudges, Dong Zhuo sent Huangfu Song to prison for questioning, so he came back to report. Deng Sheng was sad: "The tiger goes to the wolf, and the people will have no peace." "Let's say, raise a glass to the two of them.

On 15 March, the remaining four groups returned one after another to report on their respective situations. Zhu Jun saw that Huangfu Song was imprisoned, fearing that he would be implicated, so he abandoned his official position and went to Jingzhou. Cao Cao disobeyed Dong Zhuo, was wanted and arrested, fled to Chenliu, and raised troops to gather all walks of life to crusade against Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo killed men and plundered women, burned people's heads outside the city gates, and scattered women and property among the army, causing public outrage. Stalking the strong man to get close to the Yue cavalry captain Wu Fu, who has a sense of justice, and provoke him with words to provoke his anger. Wufu court clothes are covered with small armor, hiding short knives, waiting for Dong Zhuo to enter the court, pull out the knife and stab directly. Who knew that Dong Zhuo was powerful, and grabbed it with both hands, just as Lu Bu arrived, arrested Wu Fu, and pulled him out to dig out his heart. Wu Fu's face did not change when he was dying, and he scolded endlessly, it was really "the court is fearless in killing thieves, and he can be called a great husband in the past." "A group of Taoyuan brothers who followed the Taoyuan brothers reported that Liu Bei accompanied the army to attack Zhang Chun, and was defeated in a battle, so he lay down in the grass and pretended to be dead. After the other sergeant dispersed, he dared to climb out, and then met an old man, and left in a car together, escaping a catastrophe, from which the term "escaped death" came from. Liu Bei was awarded the title of Dezhou Plain County Commander for his meritorious crusade, Guan Yu was a horse archer, Zhang Fei was a step archer, and the Taoyuan brothers were inseparable and had no way to start. Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping, led 15,000 elite soldiers to pass through Pingyuan County, and because he had a friendship with Liu Bei, he took the Taoyuan brothers to Luoyang to join Cao Cao and crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Deng Sheng saw that the strong man returned safely and could act with a camera, so he set up a banquet with wine, first, to comfort the returning strong man, and secondly, to replace the sixth team of strong men who were about to go, and repeatedly emphasized that he must not harm his own life because of his desire for revenge. After the banquet, the sixth team of strong men bid farewell to their families and set off on the same day, without mentioning.

Let's say that Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, received a letter from Zhuo Zhuo, that is, the four major generals who led Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao to follow him to charge into battle since he was a teenager, and led his elite troops to march to Luoyang. On the way, Sun Jian received a letter from the perpetrator of the case, Guanglu Doctor Wen Yi, who counted the crimes of Jingzhou Assassin Shi Wang Rong and ordered Sun Jian to put him to death. In fact, the text was faked by Cao Yin, the Taishou of Wuling. Wang Rongsu and Cao Yin did not agree, and this time he raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo, and Wang Rui declared that he would kill Cao Yin first. Cao Yin was afraid, so he wanted to use Sun Jian's power to get rid of Wang Rong. Wang Rong once pacified Lingling and Guiyang with Sun Jian, because Sun Jian was a military attaché, and often showed contempt in his speech. Sun Jian had long been dissatisfied, and when he saw Lu Wen, he immediately set up troops and went to Jingzhou.

When Wang Rong heard that an army was coming, he went upstairs to watch and sent someone to inquire about his intentions. The sergeant in front of Sun Jian replied: "We have been traveling for a long time and have worked hard, and the rewards we have received are not enough to make clothes!" This time, I just want to ask you for some more money. Wang Rong believed it: "What's so difficult about this, I can't be stingy when I do the history of assassination?" "Now the order was given to open the vault and let the soldiers go in for themselves, to see what else could be used. When the soldiers rushed downstairs, Wang Rong found Sun Jian and was shocked: "The soldiers have come to ask for rewards, why is Sun Fujun here?" Sun Jian replied: "The person who exercised the case is hereby to take your head." Then he asked, "What crime have I committed?" Sun Jian replied: "I don't know below!" Wang Rong was cornered, scraped gold and devoured it and died.

Sun Jianjun went to Nanyang and sent an official letter to Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi, asking him to supply military rations. Zhang asked his subordinates how they should be treated. His subordinates said: "Sun Jian is just a taishou in a neighboring county, and he has no right to transfer our salaries. Zhang Zhi thought that his words were reasonable, and ignored Sun Jian.

At that time, Sun Jian's subordinates already had tens of thousands of people, and Yuan Shu had also made a performance to ask Sun Jian to be the acting general. Sun Jian also didn't say it clearly, and brought gifts such as cow wine to visit Zhang Shi. The next day, Zhang Zhi thanked him. Sun Jian set up a banquet to entertain him, and after drinking, Sun Jian's main book reported: "There is a document passed to Nanyang Taishou before, but the road has not been repaired so far, and the military money and food have not been prepared, please arrest him and ask him to understand." Zhang Zhi saw that the situation was not good and wanted to leave. But there were already soldiers all around. After a while, the chief bookkeeper came in again and said to Sun Jian: "Nanyang is too guarded to stop the volunteers, so that the thieves come to ask for it from time to time, please do it according to military law." Sun Jian ordered his subordinates to push Zhang Shi out of the military gate and behead him. The officials of Nanyang County Government were shocked, and Sun Jian asked for nothing that he did not give.

Sun Jian led his troops forward and reached Luyang (present-day Lushan, Henan) to meet Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu also played Sun Jian as the general of the captives, and also led the history of the assassination of Yuzhou. So, Sun Jian rested his troops in Luyang, and prepared to march to defeat Dong Zhuo.

When Dong Zhuo heard that Sun Jian had raised troops, he immediately sent tens of thousands of foot cavalry to Luyang to meet the battle. On this day, in order to make revenge for the long history of the army who led the troops to urge the military rations, Sun Jian gathered his officials and subordinates outside the east gate of Luyang City, set up a tent to drink, and was drinking and laughing with his subordinates, when dozens of Dong Zhuo's advance cavalry suddenly attacked. Sun Jian ordered the official subordinates to reorganize the lineup and not act rashly, while he drank and laughed freely. There were more and more enemy cavalry, so Sun Jian slowly got up and left his seat and guided the official subordinates to enter the city in an orderly manner. Then, Sun Jian said to his generals: "At that time, the reason why I didn't get up immediately was that the soldiers panicked, trampled on each other, panicked, and it was a mess, and it was difficult for the princes to enter the city. Dong Zhuo saw that Sun Jian's soldiers and horses were neat, disciplined, and his fighting spirit was strong, so he did not dare to attack the city and withdrew his troops and left.

Sun Jian led the Yuzhou army to move to Liangdong (now east of Yichuan County, Henan Province), and then attacked Luoyang. Unexpectedly, he was surrounded by Xu Rong's army.

Xu Rong, a native of Xiangping, Liaodong, once served as a Zhonglang general and a Taishou in Liaodong. On this day, Dong Zhuo sent and Li Meng led troops to plunder, and when Sun Jian's soldiers were in Liangdong, they besieged and attacked. Xu Rong is nine feet long, with a tiger body and a wolf's waist, a leopard's head and ape arms, extremely brave and good at fighting, capturing Yingchuan Taishou Li Min alive, cooking, Sun Jian broke through with more than a dozen cavalry and escaped.

Sun Jianping wore a red turban every day, but due to the urgency of the situation, the situation was embarrassing, so he had to take off this turban and let his cronies wear Zu Mao to attract enemies. Xu Rong's cavalry thought that it was Sun Jian who wore the red hand, and they came to chase after him. Sun Jian took the opportunity to escape from the siege from the trail. Zu Mao was chased and killed in a mess, and there was almost no way out. So he devised a plan, jumped off his horse, and put his red turban over a burnt pillar in front of the grave, while he lay still in the grass. The enemy soldiers saw Chi Zongwei from a distance and thought that Sun Jian was here, so they surrounded this place layer by layer. When he came to the front, he found that it was just a burning pillar, and he was about to withdraw his troops and leave, just in time for Xu Rong to arrive. Zu Mao slashed his double knives out of the grass and fought Xu Rong. Although Zu Mao was brave, he was difficult to defeat Xu Rong's bravery, and he was cut into two sections by Xu Rong in ten numbers. Sun Jian collected stragglers all the way, entered and occupied Yangren City in Chen County (now west of Ruzhou, Henan), and was on strict alert, preparing to wait for an opportunity to fight again, and avenge Zu Mao's revenge with the humiliation of the Battle of Xueliangdong.

When Dong Zhuo heard the news that Sun Jian had entered the city of Zhanyang, he immediately sent Hu Zhen, the Taishou of Liangzhou, as the protector of the capital, Lu Bu as the governor of cavalry, and Hua Xiong as the governor, with 5,000 men and horses, to meet the attack. Hu Zhen was anxious, and when he sent out the troops, he threatened: "This time, I must cut off a green ribbon, so that the troops will be neatly disciplined." When the generals heard him say this, they were quite unhappy in their hearts. Hu Zhen's troops marched to Guangcheng, dozens of miles away from Yangren City. It was late, the military horses were tired, according to Dong Zhuo's predetermined battle plan, when staying in Guangcheng, recuperating, and then marching at night, attacking the city at dawn. But Lu Bu and the generals were jealous of Hu Zhen and didn't want him to make meritorious contributions. Lu Bu and the others said: "The enemy soldiers in Yangren City have fled, so hurry up and chase after them, don't let them escape." Hu Zhen led the army to march overnight. When the soldiers arrived at the city, they saw that the city was very well guarded, and it was difficult to succeed in the sneak attack. The soldiers marched overnight, the men were sleepy, the horses were tired, hungry and thirsty, and the morale was low, so they had to camp under the city and rest their horses. The soldiers had just disarmed and rested, and Lu Bu spread rumors that Sun Jian led the soldiers in the city to attack at night. In the darkness of the night, the sergeant did not know whether it was true or false, screamed in surprise, threw away his armor, and fled in a hurry. Sun Jian took advantage of the situation to fight out of the city. Dong Zhuo's general Hua Xiong was beheaded in the chaos of the army, Dong Zhuo's son Lu Bu Chitu Ma was able to escape, Hu Zhen's whole army was defeated, scattered and fled for his life.

Sun Jianyang won a complete victory in the battle of Rencheng, and the enemy army was famous, famous, and prestige. Someone provoked Yuan Shu and said: "Sun Jian is a Jiangdong tiger, if he kills Dong Zhuo and occupies Luoyang, it will be difficult to restrain him." If it is allowed to develop, won't it get rid of one wolf and add another tiger? ”

Yuan Shu believed it. He cut off Sun Jian's military rations. Sun Jian had no food in the army, and he was very anxious, so he rode a horse from Yangren City to Luyang to meet Yuan Shu overnight. When Sun Jian saw Yuan Shu, he said excitedly: "I think that I Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo have no bitter hatred, but they are so desperate, they are crusading against traitors for the country, and revenge for the general." But the general listened to the villain's trickery and became suspicious of me! Yuan Shu felt ashamed in his heart and couldn't be at ease. Sun Jian continued: "Now the great work is about to be completed, but the military rations cannot be supplied. This situation is exactly the same as Wu Qi's tears in the West River and Le Yi's failure! Please be clear, think deeply, and make a decision as soon as possible! Yuan Shu then ordered the allocation of military rations to Sun Jian.

Let's say that Hu Zhen and Lu Bu were defeated, and Chen said that Sun Jian was brave and mighty. Li Dao, Guo Yan, Lu Bu, and Hua Xiong are the four famous generals under Dong Zhuo, and they are very important.

Sun Jian said goodbye to Yuan Shu and returned to the village, and suddenly reported: "Close a general, ride a horse to the gate of the village, and want to see the general." Sun Jian summoned people into the village for questioning, but it was Dong Zhuo's love for Li Dao, saying that the only person the prime minister admires is the general, and he is willing to marry his daughter to the general's son, and the two families will get married; If the children of generals are willing to be officials, they can be named assassins and taishou. Exactly: the fierce tiger Sun Jian is mighty, and the evil wolf Dong Zhuo is charming. I want to know if Sun Jian agreed to get married, and look at the next breakdown.
