The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Popular recommendation:

The two people who came to the courtyard, one was wearing a black official uniform, wearing a military crown, a leather belt around the waist, and a long sword. Because there was no beard under the chin, although it was a little less majestic, it was very high-spirited when walking. The other person is not wearing an official uniform, his head is wrapped in white silk, and he is wearing the ordinary plain clothes worn by scholars at home. A sense of fit.

These two were Liu Bei and Jian Yong whom Xun Zhen ordered Dian Wei to send officials to summon.

Jian Yong was originally the governor of Xunzhen's Xuzhou prefecture. Later, Xunzhen moved to Changyi. He followed Xunzhen to Changyi. At the same time, his position also changed from the prefecture to the subordinate of the shogunate of the East General of Xunzhen Town. Afterwards, that is, a few months ago, when Xun Zhen attacked the thief Qin Wang, he and Xun Yu and others stayed in Changyi, Xun Zhenqin Wang Gongcheng, was worshiped by the court as the general of chariots and cavalry, and the shogunate of Zhendong General was replaced by it. He was promoted to the shogunate of the chariots and cavalry generals, and because of this, Jian Yong is now one of the officials of the chariots and cavalry generals of Xunzhen.

Since Xun Zhen became the governor of the prefecture, Jian Yong and Liu Bei, one was an official in the prefecture, and the other was often leading troops outside. They had not seen each other for a long time. We got together in Xu County as follows, and finally we can see each other from time to time. Liu Bei has taken the initiative to invite him. When he is free, he will find Jian Yong for dinner and drinks. People met when they were young, and their feelings were different from others. Today, the relationship between them seems to be the same as before.

In terms of status, although Jian Yong is only a subordinate of the shogunate of the general chariot and cavalry, his rank is only a hundred stones, which is not comparable to the two thousand stones of Liu Bei's cavalry commander, but in actual power, Jian Yong is no better than Liu Bei. Even because he is a close official close to Xun Zhen, it can be said that he is a little higher than Liu Bei, but it should be because of the friendship in the past. On the way, the order of the two walking was Liu Bei in the front and Jian Yong in the back.

Xun Zhen, who was on the throne, was facing the courtyard, and he was the first to see the arrival of Liu Bei and Jian Yong.

Xian Yuyin, who was talking, saw Xun Zhen's eyes turn towards the courtyard with a smile on his face, so he stopped talking, followed Xun Zhen's line of sight, also looked into the courtyard, and also saw Liu Bei and Jian Yong.

Xian Yuyin didn't know Liu Bei and Jian Yong, but he could come in from outside when Xun Zhen met with important guests. Don't think about it, either Xun Zhen called them here, or Xun Zhen's relatives, so he went back to Xun Zhen. Zhen, wait for his introduction.

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "I mentioned Yuan Long just now. Yuan Long's role as the prefect of Yingchuan is to replace Liu Bei. I don't know who Liu Bei is. Do you know who he is? It." Pointing to Liu Bei, who had approached outside the corridor, he said, "This lord is Liu Bei. Liu Bei is from Youzhou, so after hearing that your lord is coming, I will have him summoned to wait with you. one sight."

Liu Bei and Jian Yong went up to the corridor, took off their shoes, bowed outside the door first, then entered the hall, and they were about to bow down to pay homage.

Xunzhen told him that they don't need to be too polite, and asked him both to come forward and introduce Xian Yuyin, Yan Zhi, and Wei Dun to them respectively, and then formally introduce Liu Bei to Xian Yuyin, Yan Zhi, and Wei Dun. And Jian Yong, smiled: "This is my brother Xuande! This is Jian Yong, a member of my shogunate, Yijun and other people from the prefecture. Like Xuande, he also lives in Zhuo County."

Liu Bei folded his arms and folded his sleeves, bowed down and bowed solemnly to Xian Yuyin and the three of them, and said, "Under Liu Bei, I have met you, I have heard you for a long time, and I am honored to see you today."

Jian Yong tugged at the corner of his sleeve, also bowed, and said, "In Jian Yong, Xiazhuo County, I have seen you all."

However, Jian Yong and Liu Bei had similar meanings, but they used different accents.

Jian Yong spoke Mandarin, while Liu Bei spoke Youzhou dialect.

In Xu County, in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the hometown dialect of the remote Youzhou can be heard, and Xian Yuyin and others suddenly feel close.

A short dialect is close to both sides, plus Liu Bei's obedience to the ceremony, and just because he is a little less powerful, and in turn, just gives people a little more honest feeling, which makes people feel more sincere. They didn't think he was dangerous, so Xian Yu Yin and the others met him for the first time, but they were already close. The three of them hurriedly returned the salute, all said "I have long admired the name", and officially reported their place of origin and name to Liu Bei.

Xian Yuyin and the three were not from Zhuo County.

Xianyu Yin's family is in Yuyang County, Yan Zhi's family is in Guangyang County, and Wei Dun's family is in Youbeiping County.

However, the three counties of Guangyang, Yuyang and Youbeiping are not far from Zhuo County.

In particular, Guangyang County is directly bordered by Zhuo County. As for Yuyang County, it is only separated from Zhuo County by Guangyang County. Guangyang County is the smallest county in Youzhou. Li, that is, Yuyang and Zhuo County, are only a hundred miles apart; Youbeiping County is in the east of Yuyang County, a little farther from Zhuo County, but it is only two hundred miles away.

Therefore, although the five people were originally from the four counties, they were actually in the same area, with the same customs and similar dialects.

The names of Xian Yuyin and others have been heard by Liu Bei for a long time; the names of Liu Bei, Xian Yuyin and others have actually been heard for a long time.

One, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan used to be classmates, and the two of them had a good friendship when they were classmates. When Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu didn't deal with each other, for the purpose of frightening Liu Yu, he said that he could form an alliance with Xun Zhen through Liu Bei. , thereby obtaining foreign aid from Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou; secondly, Liu Bei was in Zhuo County in his early years, and he could really be called "the dominant party". In the words of later generations, he was one of the biggest black power leaders in Zhuo County. For example, the Malaysian merchants Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, who came to Zhuo County to sell horses, from Zhong/Shanmen in Jizhou, all of whom have thousands of gold, can be said to be rich, but why should they have more money with Liu Bei? To put it bluntly, it is not because of Liu Bei's influence in Zhuo County that he had to give it to Liu Bei in order to protect himself. This shows how powerful Liu Bei was in Zhuo County at that time.

Therefore, Xian Yuyin and others are not unfamiliar with the name of Liu Bei, and what they said just now, "I have long admired the famous name", is really not a lie.

When everyone saw it, Xun Zhen called everyone to take their seats.

When everyone was seated, Xun Zhen smiled and said to Liu Bei and Jian Yong, "Xuande, Xianhe, Xianyu Junzheng is about to tell me that because he thinks Gongsun Zan is not too far from his demise, the two of you also come to listen. Listen." Asking Xian Yuyin, he said, "Jun Fang just said that there are two things that can show that Gongsun Bogui is not far from perishing. What are these two things?"

Xian Yuyin said: "In reply to Duke Ming's words, the first thing is that before Qu Yi retreated due to the lack of food, he once took advantage of the prestige of defeating Gongsun Zan, and joined our army to besiege Gongsun Zan's commander, Mao (mao). ) County. Gongsun Zan's general has few troops, and he is not an enemy of our allied forces. Because he asked Gongsun Zan for help, ... Duke Ming may have guessed how Gongsun Zan asked for help?"

"Why did you ask for help?"

Xian Yuyin said, "Gongsun Zan refuses to save him!"

Xun Zhen asked, "Why didn't he save him?" Guessing said, "But because he thought that your army and Qu Yi might besiege the city to help him, and he was afraid of being trapped, he didn't save him?" He smiled at Xun Yu and said, "If it is because of this, It shows that his courage is lost!" Turning his eyes to Yin, he smiled, "You can conclude that he is not far from perishing, but it is not bad."

Xian Yuyin shook his head and said, "As Duke Ming said, Gongsun Zan has lost his courage after losing streak! However, it is not because of this that he did not save the generals in Mo County."

Liu Bei couldn't help but be curious as he had a long history with Gongsun Zan, and asked, "Why is that?"

Xian Yuyin smiled and said, "I heard about it later, and the generals around Gongsun Zan were surprised at the time, and asked why Gongsun Zan refused to send troops to rescue him? Gongsun Zan told them: If I go to rescue him today, all the generals will only be able to save him in the future. They will wait for me to rescue the soldiers and will not fight hard; if I don't rescue them now, other generals and other camps will be besieged later, and they will encourage themselves and fight the thieves to the death....Ming Gong, Shang Shu, Liu Jun, Jian Jun Therefore, Gongsun Zan did not send troops to rescue after all, and Moxian County was also conquered by our coalition forces! Dare to ask Ming Gong, do you think Gongsun Zan's idea is ridiculous? Not far!"

Xun Zhen and Xun Yu looked at each other, both of them and Xian Yuyin had the same feeling when they first heard about this, and they both thought it was incredible.

Xun Yu was surprised and laughed, and said, "It's because of this that he didn't save his generals and watched Moxian fall? Did he not think that if he refuses to rescue Moxian now, in the future if his other generals and other battalions are If he is besieged again, will he simply surrender because he knows that he is unwilling to rescue him? Once Gongsun Zan made this move, the hearts of his soldiers have been dissipated!"

As the saying goes, there is Lu Fengxian in the south and Gongsun Zan in the north.

Although these two are both brave and talented in general, they are top-notch at home, but they are surprisingly naive and ridiculous in terms of politics and other aspects.

Xun Zhen shook his head because he was too surprised, stroked the short mustache under his chin, and muttered, "If Gongsun Bogui thinks this way, he will be out of the ordinary, so don't go out of his way." Noticing Liu Bei's disappointment, he raised his eyebrows. He said with a smile, "Xuande, you and Gongsun Bogui have been classmates in the mountains of Yanshi's family for two years. You should know about Bogui, and you should know that.

Will he do this now? "

Liu Bei sighed and said: "In the past years, when I was a classmate, I prepared Fang Zhixue, and I used my brother to serve Bogui. At that time, Gongsun Bogui was beautiful, good-looking, wise in words, lofty ambitions, and bold, not only respected and loved by many classmates, but also Won the joy of the teacher Lu Gong. Ming Gong, how could you have imagined that today, twenty years later, Bo Gui is so faint! Every time I recall that beautiful woman back then, Bei’s heart aches!”

- "Zhi Xue" is the abbreviation of "Year of Zhi Xue". Confucius said, "I am fifteen years old and I am determined to learn". Later generations used the "Year of Zhi Xue" to refer to the age of fifteen. Liu Bei was fifteen years old when he studied under Lu Zhi.

Debating the meaning of Liu Bei's words, it contains not only the nostalgia for the weak and prosperous Gongsun Zan in the past, but also regrets. Regret for what? Is it a pity that Gongsun Zan is no longer a beautiful woman, or is it a pity that the good situation was ruined by Gongsun Zan, if it were him, it would not end here?

Xun Zhen smiled slightly, and did not talk to Liu Bei any more. She asked Xian Yuyin and said, "This is one thing, what is the second thing?"

Xian Yuyin replied: "There is a man in the county named Tian Yu. Now in Gongsun Zan's army, this man has great talents but Gongsun Zan can't use it. Xian Yufu has a good friendship. Although there is a difference between the enemy and me today, his personal friendship with my clan brother has not ended, and there are frequent correspondence. Two months ago, Tian Yu heard the imperial court's decree and went to Jixian, and went to write a letter to communicate with him. My brother, in the book there is the phrase 'it is advisable to obey the imperial decree'... Duke Ming, although this is just four words, but Tian Yu's heart can be clearly seen from this!"

Xun Zhen immediately understood the meaning of Xian Yuyin's words.

As a subordinate of Gongsun Zan, Tian Yu suggested in a letter to Xian Yufu that Xian Yufu should "follow the imperial decree", which shows two points: first, Tian Yu is loyal to the court; second, Tian Yu had already concluded that Gongsun Zan was bound to fail. From these two points, it can be seen that Gongsun Zan is indeed separated from his heart now.

The name Tian Yu was very familiar to Xun Zhen.

He thought about it, he had an impression of the name, but he didn't have much memory of his deeds, and when he saw Liu Bei's expression changed slightly when he heard the name of Tian Yu, he smiled and said to Liu Bei, "Xuan De, is this Tian Yu your old acquaintance?"

Liu Bei fell into memory, lost his mind a little, then regained his senses, replied Xun Zhen, and said respectfully: "Returning to Duke Ming's words, Bei and Tian Yu are indeed old acquaintances. When Bei and Gongsun Bogui were friends in the early years, Tian Yu came here. Ye Bei, at that time he was still young, only about ten years old, but he had a good speech and a steady manner." Speaking of which, he seemed to think of something interesting, with a sincere smile on his honest face, he said , "Ming Gong must never have imagined that when he saw Bei Hou, he did something... He is a boy with a scorpion, but he is like a little adult, supporting himself!" He exclaimed, "Ming Gong, this son is far away. It's not comparable to a vulgar!"

Xun Zhen nodded and said, "If it's like your words, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is indeed an extraordinary child that can be compared!"

"It's just a pity that when Bei voted for Duke Ming later, he was unable to join Duke Ming because his mother was old. If he had joined Duke Ming from Bei at that time, he would definitely be able to use it for the public! Liu Bei paused, added another sentence, and said regretfully, "How can it be that he has only been guarding Shuzhou Ling'er until now! Bo Gui can't use talents! "

Compared with Xun Zhen, Liu Bei, etc., Tian Yu was considered to be the next generation. Liu Bei was thirty-five years old this year, Xun Zhen was a little older than Liu Bei, and Tian Yu was only twenty-five years old this year. When he first met Liu Bei in Zhuo County in his early years, Tian Yu was even younger. As Liu Bei said, he was only about ten years old, and he was a boy with a beard, but when he was about ten years old, he took the initiative to meet Liu Bei and put himself in his place. Liu Bei, not to mention anything else, only this vision that can identify Liu Bei as a hero who can achieve success is like an adult, comparing himself to a scholar, willing to assist Liu Bei's precocity and decision, and Xun Zhen. The evaluations are indeed by no means comparable to ordinary teenagers.

Xian Yuyin didn't think that Tian Yu and Liu Bei would be in the old days, and after hearing what Liu Bei said, he said, "What Duke Liu said is very true. Duke Ming, although Tian Yu is young, he has outstanding talents. In Gongsun Zan's army, he was able to understand the morale of Gongsun Zan's troops better than me. Even he already thought that Gongsun Zan's fall would be inevitable.... Duke Ming, it can be seen from this that Gongsun Zan's fall will sooner or later. Therefore, the following assertion means that it will be a year later, and as early as next year at the turn of summer and autumn, it will surely perish!"

Xun Zhen stroked his short mustache lightly, pondered for a while, and said, "Since this is the case, Gongsun Zan is already at the end of the road, then when you and others come from Youzhou, or on the way to Xuxian, when passing through Jizhou, you may have heard that Yuan Benchu ​​could have it here. Change?"
