Chapter 4: It's Done Again
Yuan Shao's high-spirited posture was even more majestic than those fierce generals on the battle array.
The fearlessness and firm will in his eyes made people feel broken, whether it was frustration or Xun Chen, he immediately made up his mind.
The Hebei Shi clan should increase investment in Yuan Shao.
As for Yingchuan people, one of the characteristics is that they are extremely grouped, have a deep friendship with each other, and like to introduce friends very much.
Usually there is a Yingchuan people under a force, and soon there will be a group of Yingchuan people, and what is even more terrifying is that this group of Yingchuan people does not know if they are blessed with talents.
Chen Fan is the three dukes who came out of Yingchuan, as well as the Xun family of Xunzi descendants, after the hibernation of the first Han Dynasty, and finally shined in the Later Han Dynasty.
Just like the five surnames of Jin Ling Liehou, there is also a saying of eight hopes in the family of scholars, which refers to the eight families with the highest names, of course, these have nothing to do with the Luo family.
Someone once wanted to compile the "Clan Chronicles", but as soon as the Luo clan was ranked first, this clan chronicle was pressed down by the royal family.
However, the royal family did not bother to compile a chronicle of the first clan of the Liu family, so the matter was put on hold.
Yuan Shao wanted to convince the Taiping Army that it was not all about being alone, he had thought about it carefully, although there was a certain risk, but the benefits were too great.
If he can enter Luoyang, how much political benefit should he get?
Yuan Shao is not the only one who thinks of this?
Although Emperor Ling is a lone husband, the princes Liu Wei, Liu Xie, and Liu He are not affected at all.
Because of a good thousand-year-old political tradition, the son of King Zhou Li is King Zhou Zhao, one of the recognized Ming monarchs of Bang Zhou, the son of King Zhou You is King Zhou Yi, the son of the Son of Heaven who created the situation of King Yi's Zhongxing, although the son of King Zhou is ordinary, but Bang Zhou is very stable and there is no war, and Qin Shi Huang was supposed to pass on the throne to Fusu, the benevolent emperor.
This proves that Lao Tzu's lone husband and good man are not exceptions!
The whole Hebei suddenly became operational, although the large-scale army could not be withdrawn, but there were still elites, and the family had accumulated for many years, but it was not something that could be defeated in a war.
These Hebei scholars have a very far-sighted vision, and they all have the ambition to be the king of the world, and they are not willing to be limited to a state.
At this moment, Hebei is not completely invincible, whether it is the local scholars or Xun Chen, these outsiders, they are united to start formulating strategies around Luoyang.
……
It is said that in the process of Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei fleeing all the way to Youzhou, Liu Bei found that Gongsun Chan's sharpness gradually recovered, and after he was just defeated by Zhang Jiao, he did not have the same spirit as before, and later saw that even Huangfu Song and Wushuang Hou and others were defeated, it was much better.
But after the two entered the boundary of Youzhou, Gongsun Chan suddenly said: "Xuande, what if Zhang Jiao leads the Taiping army to attack Youzhou?"
We are no match for him. ”
When he said this, there was no trace of sharpness in his tone, and Liu Bei knew that his brother's courage had been defeated by Zhang Jiao.
Of course, Liu Bei didn't care, and laughed: "Brother, isn't this life?"
Failure always runs through life, and the strong person is to face failure, and then get up from the place where he fell the hardest, and tell everyone that I am not dead yet, I will become stronger, and I will definitely achieve the final success in the end.
If you give up after encountering some setbacks, then it should be the descendants of King Xiang who are sitting on the throne now, not the descendants of Emperor Gao. ”
After that, he laughed a few times, whether it was in his face or in his words, there was not the slightest worry about defeat, and if he was uninformed, he would even think that he had just won a big victory.
As everyone knows, Liu Bei lost all the little capital he had hard-won, and the heroes recruited from Zhuo County collected the rout of the other princes, and almost all of them were gone.
Guan Zhang and Zhao all looked at Liu Bei with admiration in their eyes, but Gongsun Zan only sighed slightly when he heard this, "Xuande, the gap between us and Zhang Jiao is all-round, and it is impossible to win." ”
At that time, Liu Bei only felt very disappointed, in Liu Bei's eyes, Gongsun Chan was the invincible white horse general, whether it was the Hu people who invaded Youzhou or the Northern Yan Kingdom that was the enemy of the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Chan had never been afraid, how could it become like this now?
Among the princes along the way of Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan had the smallest loss, and there were more than 1,000 white horses until now.
With the power of the Gongsun family in Youzhou, and with the prestige of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, he will soon be able to pull out a white horse that far surpasses the previous one.
When the Taiping army broke through Luoyang City and the Han Dynasty fell sharply, after losing the suppression, his strength would be even stronger than before.
He is originally from Youzhou, although he can't be a pastor in Youzhou, but as a local clan, he is the uncrowned king of Youzhou.
This is obviously promising in Liu Bei's view, although Liu Bei also feels that the odds of victory are not great, but people in this life are to draw their swords bravely, if they are like Gongsun Zhan, they surrendered directly at that time, and it was not long over, what else would they flee?
At that moment, Liu Bei suddenly felt that Gongsun Chan was probably over here, and as soon as he encountered a setback, he began to feel sorry for himself, what great cause could this be?
If Gongsun Chan was not his brother, Liu Bei would have left him directly at that time, but the friendship between him and Gongsun Chan was too deep, and Gongsun Chan had a deep affection for him, no matter what, Liu Bei couldn't do that kind of thing.
But Liu Bei has already thought about it, he must not stay in Youzhou, and he will hand it over to Gongsun Zhan here, maybe the blood and fire of the Hu people and the Yan people can make Gongsun Chan cheer up again.
Liu Bei looked around, and finally set his sights on Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and the ultimate goal was the place where the ancestors started their business, Huaisi!
What neither of them expected was that after the two parted ways, the news of the death of Emperor Ling and Zhang Jiao came along the caravan.
The first to get the news was Gongsun Zhan, in the context of the chaos in the Central Plains, the commercial transactions between Youzhou and Jizhou were relatively frequent, and after passing through Jizhou, Youzhou got the news.
Gongsun Zhan, who had been quite complaining before, suddenly became radiant, he felt that he was doing it again, Zhang Jiao died, who else should I be?
The changes in Gongsun Chan are probably only known to the people around him, and most people still think that he has always been like this, so Liu Bei naturally won't talk much.
Once Gongsun Chan cheers up, his ability is still very strong, especially in military affairs.
Although the princes of King Qin were defeated in all directions, they still won a high prestige in the world, which can be described as brushing their faces.
Anyone who had a wonderful performance in the process of crusading against the Taiping Army was a wave of face in front of the world's corporal clan and Haoqiang.
It's like having a job history on your resume and getting an honor.
"Participated in the crusade against Zhang Jiao as the prince of King Qin, although he was defeated, he did not die!"
As soon as this name came out, it was different in an instant, and everyone knew that this was a real boss.
The Youzhou Shi clan immediately decided to let Gongsun Chan become the representative of the Youzhou Shi clan, and flocked to Gongsun Chan to take refuge.
The things that needed to be worked hard before were all obtained at once, and the sons-in-law of the Gongsun family were all ranked behind Gongsun Zhan.
This is the row of the princes of King Qin, whether it is Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zhan, although they all failed, they reached the peak of their lives after failure.
However, the only thing that made Gongsun Chan very unhappy was that there was Youzhou Mu in Youzhou, and he was also a member of the Han family with no low prestige.
He naturally wanted to get rid of this Youzhou Mu, and even the reason was thought of, Emperor Ling was a single husband, and the order of the only husband was a chaotic life, where was the Youzhou Mu he appointed effective?
But the Youzhou clan is unwilling, although Emperor Ling is a single husband, but if Emperor Ling's order is regarded as a chaotic fate, then the world will be chaotic, after all, he has been the son of heaven for many years.
There are many political legacies left in the kingdom of the heavens, and in this Youzhou, there are many remnants of the Spirit Emperor, if the counterattack is started, then who will be hurt in the end is still a matter of clarity.
Although Gongsun Zhan's brain is basically used in military affairs, he is from the scholar clan after all, and he is still very clear about how strong the power of the Youzhou scholar clan is, and he knows that he is not yet capable of resisting the entire Youzhou scholar clan.
So he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and when Bai Ma Yicong was re-established, and when he completely held the army in his own hands, he must do what he wanted to do wantonly.
Beat the Hu people and the Yan people, and rebuild a brave white horse in the world.
This is all Gongsun Zhan's thoughts, he never thought of going to Luoyang to fight, not only him, but the entire Youzhou clan does not have this kind of political consciousness and awareness of the overall situation.
Liu Bei, who was taking Guan Yu and others and no more than 2,000 soldiers all the way to Qingzhou, also didn't realize this, and when he first arrived in Qingzhou, he got news about Emperor Ling's name.
When he learned of Emperor Ling's death, Liu Bei only said one sentence, "The sky has eyes!" ”
When he learned the name of Emperor Ling, Liu Bei laughed and said to Guan Yu and the others: "What this Zhang Jiao did, it is really happy, this Han world was defeated in the hands of Emperor Ling, I waited for Liu, and I had no face to see the ancestors after death, all because of Emperor Ling, and now I am evil for him, isn't this a great fortune in the world?" ”
Guan Yu twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Although we have been in contact with Zhang Jiao for a short time, Zhang Jiao is arrogant, and he dares to directly slander the Spirit Emperor, which is really not unexpected." ”
Zhang Fei hugged his fists and said, "Big brother, I think the same way." ”
Zhao Yun's white horse and silver spear, his handsome face also smiled happily: "It's really happy!" ”
The four of them laughed heartily again, and then Liu Bei said with some concern: "But although I am relieved, the Mandate of Heaven of the Great Han has been lost."
Among the descendants of the Liu family, who is the one who can be appointed again?
Wushuang Hou took away the prince's argument, can he take on this heavy responsibility? ”
Several people recalled the three child-like princes, and they all shook their heads slightly and sighed, how can a teenager rule the world?
Only a peerless person like Emperor Guangwu can re-give life to the sky, speaking of Emperor Guangwu, Liu Bei's mentality has changed slightly, Emperor Guangwu is a distant branch of the royal family, and he is also a distant branch of the imperial family.
Emperor Guangwu was born just a poor family in the county, and he was also a poor family in the county.
If you can cheer up the society of the Han family......
The emperor took turns to sit, and when he came to my house this year, a descendant of the Liu family who did not want to be the emperor was an unqualified descendant of the Liu family.
Moreover, Liu Bei knew how his succession sequence was in the first hundred, and in today's world, the weight of his Han clan is heavier than most clan relatives.
It's just that when I think of Zhang Jiao, my mood is a little heavy, if I don't defeat Zhang Jiao, where can I talk about what to be ordered again?
But Liu Bei is brave, but not reckless, although he comforted Gongsun Zhan, but he knew very well that if he wanted to defeat Zhang Jiao, he needed a stronger coalition army, more 10,000 enemies, and he couldn't do it by himself.
After a few more marches, the news of Zhang Jiao's death reached his ears, but the biggest reaction was not Liu Bei, but Guan Yu!
Guan Yu almost instantly brought up the person who spread the news and asked angrily, "What did you say?" How could Zhang Jiao die? ”
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are also unbelievable, who can kill Zhang Jiao?
The man trembled and stammered the specific news that Zhang Jiao might have ascended to heaven, Guan Yu directly threw him away, his face was a little better, but it was still very limited, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun also looked a little ugly.
The three of them couldn't accept that Zhang Jiao died like this, and they all secretly had the idea of competing with Zhang Jiao in the future.
As a result, now Zhang Jiao is dead, although the three of them know that Zhang Jiao's height is probably beyond their reach in their lifetime, but only dead people in this world are truly impossible to defeat, and they will never have a chance to defeat Zhang Jiao in the future.
Liu Bei was full of surprises, although he admired Zhang Jiao a little, but Zhang Jiao can be said to be the biggest stumbling block on his road to revitalizing the Han Dynasty, and there is no one.
As a result, now this stumbling block has been removed by itself, how can this not make people feel happy?
At this moment, Liu Bei only felt that the road ahead was bright, and couldn't help but smile: "Second brother, third brother, Zilong, as soon as Zhang Jiao dies, the shadow in front of us will dissipate directly, and we will take Qingzhou and Xuzhou."
The road ahead suddenly widened, and the dust and mist above the mountains and rivers dissipated.
I am willing to follow Bei and make Han be ordered again! ”
Liu Bei's rather uplifting words swept away some regrets in the hearts of the three of them, yes, this is a good thing after all, and the future is bright all of a sudden.
"I wish to follow the eldest brother (lord) and achieve great things!"
Liu Bei didn't look at Luoyang, and went directly to Qingzhou and Xuzhou.
