Chapter Thirty-Eight: Murder Can Be Famous
Liu Zhou's head was a little dizzy at the moment, his face was a little red, and it was obvious that there were some signs of high blood pressure.
But he still persevered, and personally poured water into the lacquer bowl to moisten his throat, and then asked the other party to tell him about the front-line battle report that he knew.
The envoy coughed heavily, and then in front of all the wealthy princes, he told the battle on the front line in detail to the big guy like a storyteller......
Time goes back half a year ago:
Lu Zhi Liu Hong was appointed as the general of Beizhong Lang, and arrived at Yanmen with Xia Yu and Zang Min, who were reactivated by the imperial court, and at the same time summoned the soldiers of Dai County, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Shanggu, Yuyang, Guangyang, Zhuo County, and Youbeiping, as well as the captains and in-service officers of each county, and reorganized the army in Dai County and Shanggu.
Liu Jian, as a Zhuojun soldier Cao Zuoshi, was naturally recommended to serve on the front line.
At the same time, Gongsun Chan also greeted Liu Kuan, the chief lieutenant, in advance, and was also moved to the former commander of the other division of Sima.
After some requisition and appointment, the final scale of the Han army camp that went north to the fortress began to appear.
Ren Beizhong Lang General, currently the most trusted by the emperor, Lu Zhijie's three armies, has the highest status, but his foundation in the Beidi Army is weak.
The most powerful in the Northern Expeditionary Army belonged to the Liangzhou family, including Dong Zhuo, Xia Yu, Tian Yan, etc., all of whom were in high positions.
Although he lost the biggest backstage Duan Cheng, once the Han Dynasty had an important military operation, it was these generals of the Liangzhou system who could always be remembered by the imperial court.
There is no way, the people of Liangzhou will no longer enter the eyes of the Kanto scholars, but they can fight, once there is a big war in the frontier, most of the scholars can only stare dryly, if they can use the scriptures to curse the Xianbei people, they have no problem, the problem scriptures have not yet developed this function.
……
Lu Zhi is a scholar and a great Confucian in the world, and no matter how high his ideological consciousness is, he is still a courtier above the court, but any courtier of the Han Dynasty has the most basic political literacy in his heart after entering the office, that is, to figure out his faction.
Especially for Qingliu celebrities, this thing is absolutely distinct, and no one can blur it.
Academically, he is the great Confucian tutor of the ancient scriptures, in the court, he is the mainstay of the Qingliu celebrities, and now on the battlefield, he has also subconsciously assigned himself to an important camp - Youzhou soldiers.
Although everyone's goal is to defeat Xianbei, if there are no henchmen from their own faction, this is also a rather constrainive thing for Lu Zhi.
And at this moment, the advantage of having many protégés is reflected.
Lu also has friends in Youzhou officialdom, and I also have protégés in the army! No matter how many people there are in Liangzhou, they can't drown me!
Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei, Liu Jian, these are all my pro-students!
To tell the truth, these children are not uncommon in Lu Zhi's teaching career, looking at the Gaomen of the Han counties, the people who studied with Lu Zhi in the mountains of the Han Dynasty, there are not a thousand, but also eight hundred.
These are incomparable to those in terms of family background and all aspects.
But as it happens, a few of them are needed to contribute now.
Under this premise, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei, Liu Jian and several others were transferred to Lu Zhijun.
No matter what their ability is, they are their own people after all, and they can use it easily.
No, after the three of them arrived in Lu Zhi's army, Liu Jian was the first to take the initiative to ask Lu Zhi for his resignation, saying that he was guilty of a serious crime and was not suitable to stay by Zhonglang's side, for fear of causing trouble to Zhonglang.
Lu Zhi just transferred them to the army as spare tires, but he didn't expect to be rejected.
Isn't that a joke?
When Liu Jian was studying under him, he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he really didn't take this child seriously at that time.
Now that I've grown up, these wings seem to be stiff!
Okay, and listen to his reasoning.
So, Lu Zhi asked Liu Jian what crime he committed was not suitable for staying in the Chinese army.
Liu Jian's answer was: kill.
Homicide? How many did you kill?
Not much, it's just slaughtering people with my brothers.
At this moment, Lu Zhi completely treated this little apprentice differently.
Little cub, you are really powerful, how did the old man see that you have such great ability.
It shouldn't be, when I was in the Gou Clan, this little apprentice was silent on weekdays, and I didn't see that this erector was such an animal!
So Lu Zhi asked carefully.
Tell me, why do you slaughter people's houses?
Liu Jian then began to narrate:
After meeting Dong Zhuo the previous time, the five tigers of Zhuo County went to Xie County, Hedong, to inquire about the situation of the Zheng family, and sure enough, what Guan Yu's fellow villagers said was the truth.
The Zheng family really disregarded human life and took shooting and hunting live people as a way of fun on weekdays.
As long as such a person lives for one day, it will be a great disaster for other innocent people!
So, Liu Jian, who values righteousness, teamed up with his four little brothers to find an opportunity to kill the Zheng family's father and son, who did a lot of evil, and the Zheng family was completely left behind this time.
Under normal circumstances, after killing someone, it is enough to leave, but Guan Yu has a loud voice, and after killing someone, he has to stand at the door and shout to express his heart.
"Tell the neighbors that the murderer is the Changsheng of Hedongguan!"
With this voice, Guan Changsheng's name suddenly resounded throughout Xie County.
More than a thousand years later, when Shi Nai'an wrote Wu Song's blood-spattered Mandarin Duck Tower, it was probably a reference to Guan Changsheng's deeds.
Zhang Fei was also extremely excited to see Guan Yu so proud, and he was eager to shout at the top of his throat 'Yanren Zhang Fei is here'!
But in the end, he was held back by Liu Bei and didn't let him report to the house.
In this way, the murder case is registered in the county office, 'The murderer Guan Changsheng and his four subordinates. ’
As for who these subordinate four people are, they have not yet been found, and Guan Changsheng has also fled and disappeared.
This case involved Cao Jie to some extent, and it still happened in the important land of Hedong, so Lu Zhi had heard of it a little.
But he really didn't expect that his apprentice did this.
After hearing this, Lu Zhi was furious on the spot and scolded angrily: "What a brute! ”
Liu Jian hurriedly said: "The teacher forgives the sins, and the students have to do it as a last resort. ”
Lu Zhi was very gentle: "Deran, you misunderstood, the teacher didn't scold you, the teacher scolded the Zheng family, they are really brutes." ”
In fact, when Liu Jian told Lu Zhi about this, Lu Zhi was not angry at all, and seemed to be a little happy, and praised his little apprentice for doing a good job, which was worthy of being taught by him Lu someone.
The only thing that makes Lu Zhi dissatisfied is that everyone knows that after killing someone, shout a voice and leave a name, what do you Liu Jian and Liu Bei eat, why don't you even leave your name after killing someone? My apprentice Lu actually let a ranger overshadow the limelight - shame!
However, the flaws are not hidden, and overall, Lu Zhi is still very happy.
Lu Zhi even compared his good apprentice Liu Jian to Zhang Jian, one of the Eight Jun.
Murder in the Han Dynasty was indeed a violation of Han law and a proper crime, but you also have to see who killed the person and who was killed.
Some people kill people, and that is called criminals.
But some people kill people, and this white knife pierces into it, and what gushes out is not blood, but great fame!
Zhang Jian in Lu Zhi's mouth was also killed by Hou Lan and his family because of the frequent attendant Hou Lan and his family.
With Zhang Jian's official position at the time, he was not qualified to make decisions on this matter, but Zhang Jian did not hesitate to kill the mother of the waiting, and the case was a guest of the sect, and the world praised it.
Of course, this is also because Zhang Jian himself is a clear stream and one of the eight jun, especially his behavior later indirectly involved the party, so this matter was put on him, which set off a wave of praise in Shilin.
To put it bluntly, as long as you kill someone who has something to do with the eunuch, the Qingliushi of the Han Dynasty will give you a thumbs up.
Take a closer look at the present, what is the difference between the behavior of Liu Jian and others and the behavior of Zhang Jian at the beginning?
Liu Jian himself is also a scholar, and he killed the evil leader who did evil!
The most important thing is that the person Liu Jian killed was a partial relative of the great eunuch Cao Jie, and the eunuch head and thief who was hated by all the famous people in the world.
Yes, you should be killed, stabbed to death!
Therefore, if Lu Zhi doesn't treat Liu Jian differently at this moment, then it won't be Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi praised Liu Jian and assured him that with him Lu Shi, this matter was not a matter at all!
He not only wanted to protect Liu Jian, but also widely publicized Liu Jian's stabbing of eunuchs and thieves in Shilin in the future.
This thing is really beautiful, and most people don't dare!
Such a bullish propaganda deed must have been done by my Lu someone's apprentice.
Anyway, Cao Jie's eunuch won't live long, and he is not afraid of his revenge.
When Lu Zhi left Beijing, he heard that Cao Jie was already seriously ill, and he heard the imperial doctor's order that he was almost terminally ill and had no medicine to treat, and he would not be able to live for a few more months.
In fact, the reason why Liu Jian was able to say this in front of Lu Zhi today was because of this.
He knew that Cao Jie was in Duan Cheng, and Yang Qiu and the others died less than a year after their deaths, and he couldn't take revenge if he wanted to.
At this juncture, telling the matter in front of Lu Zhi can not only get Lu Zhi's impressive treatment...... The most important thing is that it was passed on to Shilin through the mouth of Lu Zhizhi, and the deeds of his Liu brothers in the future will be enough to be praised in Shilin.
Lu Zhi praised Liu Jian for a long time, and then praised Liu Bei by the way, thinking that he was also very good, and it was very rare to be able to be fearless of the powerful at a critical moment, and to make such a long-faced heroic deed with Liu Jian.
At the same time, Lu Zhi also said that he hoped that Liu Bei could continue to make progress in the future, buy less clothes, buy fewer dogs, and fight with others, and try to use his mental head in the right place, so that he will definitely be able to make a big career.
Although the training was more than praise, Liu Bei was still overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
Subsequently, Lu Zhi also personally mentioned a table word for Guan Yu: Yun Chang!
Lu Zhi means, although you are right to kill people, but the national law is ruthless, the Han law cannot be abolished, that Guan Changsheng also snorted after killing people, Guan Changsheng's three words are currently a little too well-known in Hedong, everyone can praise him in private, but he still has some scruples, don't use his table word first, and propose a new table word for the teacher, called Yun Chang, I hope he will not forget this heart, let the sky be high and the clouds will grow and fly, you ask him if he likes it.
If he is not willing to change, you should persuade him more, and it is for his own good.
After this incident, Liu Jian's status in Lu Zhi's heart has changed completely differently.
But if Liu Jian really made Lu Zhi feel important to him, it was in the subsequent battle between the Han army and Xianbei.
