In 193 AD, in order to repay Kong Rong, Tai Shici single-handedly fought out of the Yellow Turban Guanhai Army and went to the Plains Kingdom to find Liu Bei for help, thus becoming acquainted with Liu Bei.

But after that, they never crossed paths again.

Because Liu Bei later trapped in Xuzhou, he fought with Lu Bu and Yuan Shu every day in Xuzhou, while Tai Shici went south to Yangzhou to join his fellow villager Liu Miao after his mother died of illness in 195 AD, and finally met Sun Ce and became a famous general in Jiangdong.

But now history has changed a lot, before Shen Chen left Xuzhou, he once told Liu Bei that Tai Shici was a fierce general and could invite him to Xuzhou.

After Shen Chen left, Liu Bei once wrote a letter to Kong Rong, remembered his words, and told Kong Rong about it.

It happened that Tai Shici's mother died of illness in 194 AD, and Tai Shici was keeping filial piety at home, and Kong Rong wrote to inform him, saying that he could introduce him to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei after his filial piety was over.

After a year of filial piety, Tai Shici did not go south to find his fellow villager Liu Miao as originally planned, but came to Xuzhou with Kong Rong's letter of introduction.

At this time, Liu Bei became the pastor of Xuzhou, and Zhao Yun died of his brother's illness, so he asked him to resign and went north to return to Zhongshan to cook his brother's later life.

Liu Bei lamented that there was a lack of a general around him, but he didn't expect Tai Shi Ci to come to vote, and he was overjoyed, so he appointed him as the governor of the door.

And this time, Liu Bei also sent Tai Shici to come over in person to deliver a letter to Shen Chen.

Hearing that Liu Bei was still worried about himself when he was stuck in Xiao Pei, Shen Chen was very emotional, so after thanking Tai Shici, he took the letter from him and sat cross-legged on the seat.

The bamboo slip was written "Shen Chendi" on the outside, and it was slowly opened, and there were only more than 60 words in it.

Since there was no punctuation at that time, it needed to be artificially segmented, and after reading it, Shen Chen sorted out the following paragraph.

"Mr. Xiao sat in front of him: Say goodbye at the beginning of the summer of Xingping, suddenly Jian'an is cold, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are okay recently? I heard that Cao Cao marched south to Zhang Xiu, and knew that you were in Nanyang and couldn't sleep at night, so I ordered Ziyi to find the southern Yizhong first and entrust this letter. Every day is green, I don't know what to say, and I hope to worry about it. ”

The meaning of this sentence is: Hello Mr. Xiao, Xingping was separated in the early summer of the first year, and now it is the winter of Jian'an, and I haven't seen each other for a long time, how are you doing? I heard that Cao Cao was preparing to attack Zhang Xiu, and I was very worried when I knew that you were in Nanyang, so I asked Tai Shici to go to Nanyang to find you and hand over this letter to you. Time is in a hurry, words are endless, I hope you can take care of your health.

In fact, the letters of the Han Dynasty are not long, due to the limited number of bamboo slips, it is inconvenient to carry too many words, so the sender generally writes a few words or a few crosses when writing the content, and just explain the matter clearly.

Only silk letters can be written a little longer, but they are basically a few hundred words, before there is no paper, ordinary people write letters, may not be able to write a letter for several years.

After reading this letter, Shen Chen was very moved.

Because it was very difficult to write a letter in the Han Dynasty, although there were post stations and postal services at that time, the post and postal services at that time were mainly used for official purposes.

For example, the official documents of various counties and counties, as well as the urgent military situation at the border to the imperial court. It is almost impossible to write a letter privately, and even a post station clerk cannot waste state resources to write a letter back at will.

Therefore, in order to write this letter, Liu Bei used private power to deliver it.

He wrote the letter in January this year, and then sent Tai Shici all the way to Nanyang, and it was very dangerous to eat and sleep in the open along the way, so it can be said that it took a lot of effort to hand over the letter to Shen Chen.

In the troubled times, the postal system collapsed, and Tai Shici could not get supplies along the way, so he could only rely on his own strength to come from Peiguo.

From this point, it can be seen that Liu Bei is still very concerned about Shen Chen's safety.

I'm afraid that if it weren't for Tai Shici, who was a specialist in this before, with rich experience and superb combat effectiveness, Liu Bei probably wouldn't have let his subordinates take the risk of sending a letter to Nanyang.

Seeing this situation, Shen Chen said with great emotion: "It is really my luck that Liu Yuanjun can remember me. General Taishi, I've been tired of you all the way. ”

Tai Shi Ci smiled: "That's not true, I actually came from Runan, before coming Liu Yuanjun was appointed by the Son of Heaven as the pastor of Yuzhou, the imperial court sent him to Peiguo to garrison, I heard that Sikong went south to conquer Zhang Xiu, so Jun was very worried about the safety of Mr. Xiao, so he sent me, there was no danger on the road, but because of the war in Sikong and had to delay some time in Runan." ”

After the Runan Yellow Turban was purged, the security was much better, but now it is also very withered, no different from ten rooms and nine emptiness. Therefore, Liu Bei sent Tai Shici from Runan, which was still very safe.

It's just that Cao Cao is fighting, and he can only wait for a while in Runan, and he didn't dare to come over until Cao Cao's class returned to the court recently.

Shen Chen asked, "How is Liu Yuanjun doing now?" Okay, no? ”

Tai Shici said: "The body of the king is not harmed, strong food and wine, but last year for Lu Bu's thief attack, lost Xuzhou, every day sighs and grieves." ”

"Lu Bu Na Guy."

Shen Chen frowned, Cao Cao was brutal, and Lu Bu was capricious.

The character of these two people is really not very good.

"Since I left Xuzhou, I don't know what Liu Yuanjun has experienced in the past few years, General Taishi, can you tell me?"

Shen Chen asked again.

"Naturally."

Tai Shici told him about Liu Bei's experience over the years.

It turned out that after Shen Chen left Xuzhou, Tao Qian died of illness not long after, and Chen Dengmizhu and others recommended Liu Bei as the pastor of Xuzhou.

At that time, Liu Bei recruited Chen Qun in Xiaopei, Chen Qun persuaded him not to go, at first he remembered Shen Chen's words, so he didn't go, but he couldn't stand Chen Deng's persuasion, and finally went to Xuzhou.

But it's a pity that history still runs according to its trajectory, and Shen Chen hasn't changed anything.

Xuzhou was originally a land of trapped dragons, coupled with internal and external troubles, no one listened to him everywhere, the Xuzhou pastor, which made Liu Bei's strength actually very poor.

In addition to Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, the local wealthy families supported him, such as Cao Bao and Xu Tan, the leader of the Danyang elite soldiers left by Tao Qian, did not deal with him, resulting in his control of Xuzhou being very low.

In particular, Cao Xu and the others were in disobedience, and the soldiers and horses that Liu Bei could control were actually only three or four thousand people brought from the plains under his command, as well as a few thousand newly recruited in the local area, adding up to less than 10,000 people.

However, even so, Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Xuzhou, but Liu Bei has been stubbornly resisted and cannot be saved.

When Lü Bu was defeated by Cao Cao at the end of 195 AD and came to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei, the situation immediately became different.

Lu Bu was capricious, and when Liu Bei and Yuan Shu were at a standoff, he attacked Liu Bei and occupied Xuzhou.

Liu Bei was almost wiped out, and had to accept the remnants of the army and go to Guangling, but was defeated by Yuan Shu, and finally got Mi Zhu's funding, and asked Lu Bu for peace, so he was barely stationed in Xiaopei to survive.

At the end of last year, Lu Bu came to attack Liu Bei again, and Liu Bei was defeated.

It happened that at that time, Cao Cao had already welcomed the Son of Heaven and set the capital at Xuchang, so Liu Bei went to Xuchang to defect to Liu Xie.

At that time, he thought that he would be able to show his strength in the court with Liu Xie, but he didn't expect that Liu Xie was just Cao Cao's puppet, and the two forces were secretly competing.

Liu Xie was also very happy to see him coming, thinking that the power of the royalist faction had increased a little, so he asked for Ji according to the genealogy and recognized him as the emperor's uncle.

And Cao Cao also wanted to win over Liu Bei, and in order to prevent Liu Bei and Liu Xie from getting too close, he went to the imperial court, named him the pastor of Yuzhou, gave him some grain, grass and soldiers, and horses, and let him return to Peiguo to continue to resist Yuan Shu and Lu Bu.

Many people think that Cao Cao here admires Liu Bei and is ready to cultivate him as a confidant in the future, so he will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

In fact, Cao Cao does appreciate Liu Bei very much, but it is a bit ridiculous to train him as a confidant.

Because first of all, Liu Bei's official position, he was Xuzhou Mu from the beginning, the general of Zhendong, so in the arrangement of official positions, he must not be lower than Xuzhou Mu, and it just so happens that the east needs to be defended, which shows him as Yuzhou Mu.

Secondly, if you really train him as a confidant, you will not let him continue to go to Peiguo, but take him with him to recruit Zhang Xiu.

So in general, Cao Cao admired Liu Bei, but the main purpose was that he planned to go south to Zhang Xiu this year, and he was afraid that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu would come to find trouble, so he asked Liu Bei to be the eastern barrier in Peiguo.

In this way, Liu Bei used him as a shield, and secondly, he was also transferred away from Liu Xie's side to prevent Liu Xie's royalist power from becoming too strong, which had great political significance.

However, in the current situation, after receiving Cao Cao's support, Liu Bei was finally able to respite and was stationed in Peiguo safely.

Hearing this news, Shen Chen breathed a sigh of relief, both glad for Liu Bei and happy that he could continue to walk according to the trajectory in history.

It's not that Shen Chen is afraid of changes in history, but he feels that Liu Bei's character is still a big problem, if he doesn't have the experience of being displaced in the past few years, and if he doesn't have the experience of mixing in officialdom and temples, I'm afraid he won't be able to grow.

If it's still the same Liu Bei with a temperament like fire, it won't be good.

Of course.

As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change.

Judging from his insistence on avenging Guan Yu and launching the Battle of Yiling in his later years, his personality has not changed much.

But even if it can make him more tactful, think more when he encounters problems, and stop being as impulsive as before, that's a good thing.

Therefore, Shen Chen was very happy to see Liu Bei be able to go through more hardships and grow step by step.

Hearing about Liu Bei's experience in the past few years, Shen Chen sighed to Tai Shici: "It is not easy for Liu to make Jun, but Ji Ren has his own heavenly help, and I believe that sooner or later he will be able to come to Jitai." ”

Tai Shi Ci said, "Does Mr. Xiao have anything to say to Liu Yuanjun?" ”

Shen Chen thought for a while and said: "General Taishi, please rest in the Huangmen Pavilion for two days, let me go back and write a letter, thank you to the envoy, by the way, there are some things that need to be entrusted to the general to bring to the envoy." ”

"Okay."

Tai Shi Ci nodded, he really had to take a rest when he was sleeping in the open on the road.

Shen Chen asked people to arrange the residence of Tai Shi Ci and several knights, originally planned to go south to Xiangyang today, but also changed the date, went back to think about writing a letter, and prepared some things, and handed them to Tai Shi Ci to send back to Liu Bei.
