——————- Excerpt from the Introduction

In the autumn and September of the twelfth year of Yonghe, Hedong County Anyi City outside the city of Shilipu Station. This is the main road of the east and west, so people come and go, and it is very lively. From Jizhou through Hukou into the state, through the party out of Pingyang, and then from here to the Puban ferry across the river can enter Yongzhou Feng County and until Chang'an. And Sizhou, Hanoi, Jijun and other places into the customs through Dongyuan also gathered to this Anyi Shilipu post station, and then turn to Pu into the right of the pass.

Because Shilipu Post Station is a first-class post station, not only does the hotel occupy a vast area, with hundreds of rooms, but also the restaurant is also very large, with a height of three floors. I saw the postman in gray shirt and gray pants and the guy in green shirt busy going in and out, and welcomed the guests who came out of the stagecoach to the restaurant to rest for a while, and the carriage galloped directly to the next carriage yard, unloaded the horses first, and led them to the horse gallery to rest. At this moment two craftsmen came up and took a few strange-looking creatures and put them in front of and behind the carriage, knocking on them as they went, and at last hunched down under the carriage to see it carefully, and sometimes simply lay on the ground and clanged at the bottom of the carriage for a while.

After about half an hour, the craftsman had finished inspecting the carriage, and the postman had brought four horses and put them on the wheels. The two grooms circled around the carriage, and found that the whole stagecoach looked very neat, so they signed the book handed by the postmaster, and then said a few words loudly to the poster, and after a few laughs, one sat down in front of him as the main horseman. In charge of driving, the other sits in the back of the carriage and is responsible for changing shifts and watching the salute behind the carriage. I saw the master groom instigating the horses to gallop out of the carriage yard and stop next to the restaurant.

The traveler, who was almost rested, was greeted by the post man, and soon walked down the restaurant and got into the stagecoach. With the shout of the master groom, the four horses started at the same time, and soon ran faster and faster. Rush east, west, or north along Hedong County Road.

After a while, another stagecoach stopped. It's the same scene again. And at the same time. From time to time, a traveler with his own carriage or on horseback stopped, was ushered into the chariot yard, and then the vehicle was inspected, and both men and horses rested peacefully. It is only in the afternoon that a steady stream of travelers arrives because it is getting late. At this time, I saw that the hotel, which had been relatively quiet all morning, was lively.

On the third floor of the restaurant, two people in gray shirts and robes were watching all this downstairs with great distraction. One of these two looks bright and neat, but the wisp of beard on his chin makes him look a little fluttering; The other was seven feet long. It is pure and elegant, its sound is like a bell, and a few sighs are made from time to time. The four people sitting at the table on the side seemed to be their long-term followers, and they were paying attention to the movements around them while bowing their heads and drinking tea.

"This Beifu is really prosperous!"

"Yes, you look at the cars coming and going in Anyi, crowded with people, one after another. It's a busy and glorious scene. And that's just Hedong County, which is not the state. I don't know what kind of scene it will be when I enter the right side. Now everyone in the world says that Beifu Guan is rich in the world, I always didn't believe it before, but now I have six points of belief. ”

"Long Ming. Do you remember? When we went out to sing the song that day, the Duke of Donghai once said that we would have a great insight. It seems that Donghai Gong is really right. ”

"Zensa, you're right!"

At this time, the guy sent a few plates, and the two quickly stopped talking and stopped talking. The guy had seen so much of this scene that he just smiled and said no more. When these people entered the restaurant just now, there were posters who checked their documents, and one of the two people in the first place was named Xue Zan and the other was called Quan Yi, who were scholars from Hanoi County, and were going to Chang'an to "watch and study". Over the years, there are many people who have gone to Chang'an to observe or study, and everyone has long been accustomed to it, not to mention that these people's documents are also related to the seal of Dongyuan and other checkpoints, and they are law-abiding legitimate travelers "scholars".

After the guy walked away briskly, Xue Zan spoke again: "I wonder if the task entrusted to us by the Duke of the East China Sea this time can be completed?" ”

"When we arrive in Chang'an, we will go to find Liang Zheng and others, hoping that Nian can introduce us to one or two for the sake of old friends, that is, to meet one or two of Mr. Jingluo, Su Chang, Wuzi, and Wusheng." Quan Yi said with some worry on his face, and the land Liang Zheng in his mouth turned out to be from the local family that moved out of Guanyou with them, and they were also under Yao Gezhong and Yao Xiang's father and son. Later, the Yao family lost power, and they were all separated one after another, Liang Zheng and others were lucky enough to run to Guanyou and cast for Beifu, while Xue Zan and Quan Yi defected to Zhou and became Fu Jian's subordinates.

"Changming, I'm afraid your expectations are too high. Liang Zheng and other old masters are only lecturing in Chang'an University Hall and Yongzhou School, even if they are vigorously introduced, I am afraid that they can only see Jingzhao Yin Li Cun. However, it would be good if I could recognize Professor Hao Long and Luo You, the two of them were famous people in Beifu, and if they could be introduced, they might be able to meet Mr. Wuzi. Xue Zan slowly held his beard and said.

"I hope so, the situation in Zhou Guo is really ......" Speaking of this, both of them couldn't help but stop talking, and sat there looking downstairs sadly.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the stairs, and several people walked up under the guidance of the guys, and went straight to an empty table next to Xue and Quan.

Walking next to Xue and Quan, the guy said with a smile: "Excuse me, these are guests from Jizhou, set up a table next to you, the second floor is full, you see that there is only this table left on the third floor." Excuse me, excuse me! ”

The guy led a few people over as he spoke, only to see the two people who took the lead, one magnificent and the other simple and generous. I saw the one in front arching his hand and said: "Under the surname Jiang, the name is Gan, the word Shouyi, this is my companion, the surname is Miao Mingsong, the word Weiyue, we are all from the city, this is polite." ”

Xue Zan and Quan Yi hurriedly stood up and bowed back: "Meeting is fate, we are all scholars from Hanoi and go to Chang'an to study." Then they each introduced themselves. As soon as the four of them introduced each other, they found that each other was an elegant person, and they all had a noble official temperament. At the moment, they all had the heart to make friends, so the four of them put together a table and gave the empty table to Jiang and Miao's entourage.

After the four of them sat down, Jiang Gan suddenly asked, "I heard that a lot of things have happened in Zhou Guo recently?" I don't know if you can explain it to me in detail. ”

Seeing the surprise and slight embarrassment on the faces of Xue and Quan, Jiang Gan hurriedly said: "It's me who is reckless, Jiang is a curious person, please forgive me." ”

Xue Zan and Quan Yi looked at each other, helpless. Puyang's Zhou master Fu Sheng is really making too much trouble. It is known to everyone in the world. But the people of Zhou were ashamed to mention this. However, Xue Zan and Quan Yi were originally from the Yao family, and they didn't have too deep feelings for Fu Sheng and Zhou Guo, but they still had feelings for Fu Jian and the ministers.

Xue Zan picked up a glass of wine, took a sip and sighed, and began to say: "Zhou Cheng's Prime Minister Lei Wan'er has a straightforward temperament, and when he sees the traitors Zhao Shao and Dong Rong messing with the government, he often speaks to the court. And every time I see it, I grit my teeth with hatred. Zhao Shao and Xun Rong were afraid, so they said to Lord Zhou. The Lord of Zhou killed Lei Xiao'er and his nine sons and twenty-seven grandsons, and destroyed his family. So the leaders of the Qiang people of the Zhou State all had centrifugation. Zhou is often the case

Blade in the court, in order to receive the courtiers. And hammers, pliers, saws, chisels and other torture tools are always ready to mutilate people. Not long after ascending the throne, the concubines and ministers have killed more than 500 people, amputated their shins, pulled their heads, sawed their necks, and fetuses. Bibi has it. ”

It seems that Xue Zan is also resentful of Fu Sheng. Believe that this Zhou lord is not a qualified monarch, but a tyrant. In addition, the two of them were only sheltered under Fu Jian, and this was the northern mansion far away from the Zhou Kingdom. So I couldn't help but say it with a sense of grief and indignation.

Jiang Gan, Miao Song and the others nodded, these things Xue Zan said were similar to the legends outside, but they were much more detailed and intuitive, and they were not so terrifying.

Seeing that Jiang and Miao were not surprised, Xue and Quan knew that their Zhou lord was too famous, and he had surpassed Huan Jingzhou in Beifu and Jiangling.

"King Zhou Sikong fell with a strong temperament, and when he saw that the right servant shot Dong Rong and the powerful country in the service were fortunate to be fortunate to the Lord of Zhou, he was as sick as an enemy, and every time he saw Dong Qiang and the two in the court, he didn't deal with them. Some colleagues advised the prince: 'Dong Qiang and the two are extremely fortunate, please surrender to the public to make friends to avoid disaster.' Wang Cheng replied: "Dong Qiang is a chicken and a dog, and I only make friends with people who are national scholars!" ”

"In March, there was a change in the sky at that time, and Dong Rong and Qiangguo said to Lord Zhou: 'And today the punishment is very heavy, please kill your minister.'" The lord of Zhou killed the prince in response to the change of heaven. When the prince was tortured, Xun Rong smiled and said, "Do you dare to say that I am a chicken and dog?" Speaking of this, not only Xue Zan was gloomy for a while, but even the other three were also sad in their hearts, and secretly sighed.

"In summer and April, the wind in Puyang destroyed the house and pulled out the wood. The people in the Zhou Palace were disturbed and called the thieves a riot. The palace gate was also closed during the day, and it was not opened until the fifth day. Lord Zhou hunted down all the thieves in the palace and killed them. Dr. Zuo Guanglu Qiang Ping admonished: 'There is a disaster from the sky, Your Majesty should love the civil god, and the probation and virtue should be punished. ’。 Lord Zhou was angry, chiseled the top of it and killed it. Wei general Guangping Wang Huangmei, former general Xinxing Wang Fei, and Jianjie general Deng Qiang, with Qiang Ping being the younger brother of the queen mother, kowtowed. In May, the Queen Mother Qiang died of grief and hatred, called Mingde. Quan Yi then said quietly.

"Lord Zhou dreamed of big fish eating pu one night, and there was a nursery rhyme in Yanzhou: 'The big fish in the East China Sea turn into dragons, and the men are all kings and women are the princess.'" The lord of Zhou killed the Taishi, Lu Shangshushi, Guangning Gongyuzun, and his seven sons and ten grandsons. Dr. Jin Ziguanglu Niu Yi committed suicide in fear of disaster. The relatives of the old Xun were all punished, and the ministers were guaranteed for one day, such as ten years. ”

Xue Zan and Quan Yi did not enter the power center of the Zhou State in Puyang, they have always followed Jian closely, and they did not have much contact with those Zhou Zhongchen who were sentenced, but when they saw that the old ministers who followed the Fu family to fight the world were almost killed by Fu Sheng, a madman, they were still sad in their hearts.

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Jiang Gan couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing Jiang Gan's sigh, Xue Zan couldn't help but say: "It's your Wei lord who has worked hard in the past two years, and last year he fought against the North Jizhou River, defeated the Yan State and rushed to the general Mu Yugen, which shocked China. In April this year, he attacked Ji County, and Yu Qishui defeated Donghai Gong in a row, forcing him to move to Ji County. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Gan and Miao Song, who were from Wei, couldn't help but show joy on their faces, and became a little proud, "My lord is brave and crowns ten thousand troops, and even Zeng Zhenbei of Beifu also respects my lord as the first general of China." ”

This is true, when Ran Min began to exert his might last year, after defeating Yan and Zhou in a row, Zeng Hua wrote an article in the "General's Mansion Newspaper" and praised it, and also said this sentence. As the Beifu Mansion newspaper spread all over the world, everyone also remembered this praise.

Seeing that Jiang and Miao were both smiling and their faces were a little red, Quan Yi sneered in his heart, they were all used as guns and were still here proudly, and after being silent for a while, he spoke: "Lord Ran Gong of Wei is much more cautious in using troops now, and it seems that he has learned a lot from Zeng Zhenbei. I remember Zeng Zhenbei also said that the realm of military use that he is pursuing now is that a good fighter has no outstanding merits. ”

As soon as Quan Yi's words came out, Jiang Gan and Miao Song understood the meaning, but they couldn't open their mouths to refute it.

As a man of the hour, Zeng Hua's art of using soldiers has long been carefully studied and studied by people in the world. According to the battle report of Beifu and the past history, they found that the use of troops in the north of Zeng Zhen used to be mainly strange and supplemented by positive, but now it is increasingly turning to positive and strange as a supplement. They don't know Zeng Hua's military construction ideas in Beifu, such as the military system, military academy, and Privy Council, nor do they understand Zeng Hua's profound intentions in doing this. They can only analyze Zeng Hua's use of troops to another level from the surface, and in the eyes of everyone, Zeng Hua also deservedly squeezed into the ranks of the soldiers in this era, so Jiang Gan and Miao Song will be proud and happy because Zeng Hua praised his lord Ran Min in a high-profile manner, so there is really no way to refute Quan Yi's words with guns and sticks, Jiang and Miao are not arrogant and ignorant enough to say that their lord's soldiers are more clever than Zeng Hua. You must know that in Weichang, Jizhou, if it weren't for Zeng Hua's shocking attack, how could there be today's situation? And Wei Lord Ran Min will not live well until now.

"I heard that the city has not been peaceful recently, and Wei Shizi (Ran Zhi) and Pingyuan Gong (Ran Cao) have some disagreements. I heard that in March, the prince severely punished the general Liu An because of the forced recruitment of women. I wonder if there is such a thing? Xue Zan continued to ask.

Jiang Gan and Miao Song were annoyed in their hearts, this Xue Zan stabbed the key point at once, and asked the question that Wei did not want to mention - Ran Min's two sons, Ran Zhi and Ran Cao, have become a fire and water. When the Wei State slowly stabilized, Ran Min, who had never been at ease, also began to attack everywhere, but his two sons began to make a fuss. was manipulated by Ran Min of Pingyuan Gong to favor him even more, and then attracted a group of people such as Che Cavalry General Zhang Wen and General Liu An, and fought openly and secretly with the prince Ran Zhi in the city, and his arrogance was extremely arrogant.

Although Ran Zhi is not valued by Ran Min, he is the eldest son, the son of the righteous family, plus most of the important ministers of the Wei State such as Sima Dong, the general Jiang Gan, and Miao Song are on his side, and Ran Cao can be tied.

And the incident that Xue Zan just said was a big incident in the confrontation between the two. Ran Zhi and Ran Cao are both good women, since the Beifu has taken over all the women in the city palace, and the Wei State wants to recover its vitality, they dare not disturb the people. So these two years have been bitter for these two sons. It was easy to wait for Wei to settle down, and Ran Cao couldn't wait to recruit people's daughters to enrich the Plains Mansion, but Ran Zhi seized the opportunity and beat up Liu An, the executor-Ran Cao's henchman, and then dismissed him.

Ran Cao lost face and hated Ran Zhi even more, so the two completely tore their faces apart, and they fought even more. Ran Min is a fierce general in the world, but he is helpless against his two sons, so he has to let them go, as long as he doesn't make too much trouble.

Xue Zan, Quan Yi, Jiang Gan, and Miao Song came and went, talking smartly, fighting in secret, and in the end, Xue and Quan had the upper hand. However, the four of them also vaguely guessed each other's identities and understood each other's purposes. Thinking about this, the four of them were relieved at once, and felt that there was nothing to fight for, but instead agreed to go to Chang'an together.
