The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Cheng Yu, courtesy name Zhongde, whose real name was Cheng Li, often dreamed of going to Mount Tai when he was young, holding rì in both hands, because he was later renamed Cheng Yu by Cao cāo. [m] Net--Let him lead the way in front, Xun Zhen and others lead his troops to follow, and they arrived outside Dong'e City in the evening.

Dong'e's city walls are tall and sturdy, and there are some bare-chested peasants working in the fields outside the city. On the way to the county gate, there are pedestrians with swords coming and going. Most of the peasants and pedestrians were county residents of Dong'e. When they saw Master Wang coming, they either stood in the fields and watched, or avoided the road. When they saw Cheng Li, these people bowed respectfully. A's popularity is high.

I just don't know whether this popularity is what he originally had or because he recaptured and defended Dong'e. Of course, the greatest possibility is both. Xun Zhen said in his heart: "Most of the East County has been occupied, but Dong'e and others have not lost a few cities. After General Huangfu and I have pacified Dong County, Cheng Li's reputation will definitely rise to a higher level."

Most of the whole county was occupied, and the few counties that were not lost were basically never captured by the Yellow Turbans from beginning to end. Only Dong'e was lost first and then recaptured by Cheng Li. Cheng Li was originally a famous scholar in Dongjun County. After this battle, his courage and strategy will be known to more people, and his reputation will naturally rise.

Looking at Cheng Li's tall back in front, Xun Zhen sighed, "This is the so-called time to create heroes."

Dong'ering brought the county officials to greet him outside the county, and Xue's parent, Xue Fang, also accompanied him. Five li away from the city, Xun Zhen stopped his troops and ordered Xu Zhong, Liu Deng, Jiang Qin, He Yi and other commanders to station on the spot, along with Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Xuan Kang, Li Bo and other scribes and Yuan Zhongqing , Zuo Bohou and other guards continued to move forward, and saw Dong Aling, Xue Fang and others outside the county.

Dong'ering is about forty years old. Just looking at his appearance, he is quite agitated. He is not short, more than seven feet tall, with a sword in the seal, and a beard under his chin. He looks like an arrogant husband. Who would have thought that such a mighty appearance But the people of the county hurried over the wall after the chaos of the county magistrate? Xue Fang was in his thirties, with a big belly and an unremarkable appearance.

As Xun Zhen greeted the two of them, she thought to herself: "This Dong'ering is lucky, I don't know what kind of wickedness I have accumulated in my previous life, and there is a person like Cheng Li under her rule, otherwise, he will only run away from the chaos/wall. This one, after the war, I am afraid that it will inevitably be punished with guilt, but now, not only does it have no guilt, but it has a role in defending the soil."

Perhaps it was for this reason that Dong'ering was very respectful to Cheng Li, and eight of the ten sentences he had spoken to Xun Zhen looked at Cheng Li's face. Cheng Lizhi called the people who refused to go back to Chengxian County with him as "foolish people". At this time, he just kept the etiquette in the face of the dignified county order. From the look in his eyes, it could be seen that he had no respect for this Dongaring. Very disdainful, but chatting and laughing with Xue Fang. It's no wonder that Dong'ering Kong has skin and no talent, so he will be looked down upon by someone like Cheng Li who is arrogant and arrogant. From seeing Cheng Liqi, to thinking that Cheng Li is Cheng Yu, and then to this time, Xun Zhen has been observing him secretly, taking full account of his performance along the way and now, thinking: "One kind of rice raises a hundred kinds of people. If this were to change Wen Ruo here, the attitude towards Dong’ering would definitely not be the same!” Xun’s family of Confucianism pays attention to order from top to bottom, respect for inferiors and courtesy, and Xun Yu is as gentle as jade, even if a Shangguan is a senior Useless people, he will not show contempt.

After talking for a while outside the county gate, Dong'ering invited Xun Zhen, Xun You and others into the city. Xun Zhen declined politely and smiled: "After the general ordered me to destroy the remnants of Bocai, I temporarily stationed outside Dong'e County to wait for the military order. I will not enter this city." Hearing his words, Dong'e Ling , Cheng Li, and Xue Fang were quite surprised, and repeatedly invited Xun Zhen to refuse. Dong'ering glanced at Cheng Li, and Cheng Li said, "Since that's the case, I won't force it any longer. County lord, didn't the county prepare Lao Jun's wine and meat? Let's go!" Dong'ering said repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

Xun Zhen bowed to say goodbye, and took Xun You and others back to the camp. Cheng Li watched him go away, and praised sincerely, "I have heard for a long time that General Huangfu rules the army strictly and the military discipline is strict, and it is true!"

Camping in the wild is definitely different from staying in the county. The conditions in the wild are harsh, and the environment in the county is comfortable. It can be said that there are not many generals who can lead troops to the city. Xun Zhen, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, etc. turned back to the temporary residence, and on the way, Xi Zhicai suddenly smiled. Xun Zhen asked, "Zhicai, why are you laughing?"

Xi Zhicai rode on the horse, turned his head to look back at the county gate, saw that Dong'ering, Cheng Li and others had already returned to the city, turned his head, smiled and said to Xunzhen, "Just now, you and Dong'ering, Cheng Li, Talking to Xue Fang, Dong'ering is obedient, always looking at Cheng Li's face, this county magistrate of Dong'er is not like Dong'ering, but Cheng Li! This person is really proud of his talent."

Xun Zhen said tolerantly: "Many talented people are like this." Although the words were tolerant, they sighed with regret. When he remembered that Cheng Li was Cheng Yu, he was very pleasantly surprised and had the intention of soliciting. With Cheng Li's arrogance and pride, it would be extremely difficult for him to recruit him to his own family with only his mere military Sima.

Xuankang made a "huh", pointed to the edge of the road, and said, "Who is that?" Everyone turned to look at them, and saw an old woman with a stick standing on the edge of the field, a mile or two ahead, who was walking up the hill. What to call, when the farmers working in the fields heard her cry, they all stood up, and soon dropped their farm tools and gathered around. The old woman shouted a few times, turned and walked towards the county gate. Wherever she passed, the pedestrians on the road followed, and after a while, dozens of people gathered behind her. A group of people crowded and walked past the horses of Xun Zhen and the others. When passing by Xun Zhen and others, the old woman held her head high and turned her eyes away, but some of the farmers and passersby hurriedly saluted. Xun Zhen and others restrained the horse's head and looked back at them.

Xun You frowned and said, "This old woman is dressed like a witch, isn't she going to worship or something?" Yuan Zhongqing jumped off the horse, grabbed a man who had just run over from the field, and took him to Xun Zhen's horse. . Xun Zhen asked cheerfully, "Who is that old lady Shicai? Why didn't you even do farm work when she called me? What are you doing?"

This man did not know Xun Zhen's identity, but he knew that Han soldiers had arrived, so he guessed that Xun Zhen must be the general who led the troops, and replied: "What the general does not know, there is a stone man in my county who can cure diseases and relieve disasters. , named 'Mage', the old woman surnamed Weng just now, is the Wu Zhu of the 'Mage'. Previously, the Yellow Turban thieves were chaotic and poisoned the party. Now, thanks to the power of the 'Mage', she has been defeated, so the Weng woman called me to wait. Go to worship." Xun Zhen nodded and motioned Yuan Zhongqing to let him go.

Xuan Bo was very upset, and said angrily: "What's the strength of the wise men, Bu Ji was defeated by the army'? Bu Ji was obviously defeated by Xun Jun!" Xun You shook his head and said: "The Master said: 'It is not a ghost but a ghost. It is also flattering to worship them. Every day when there are natural disasters and wars, this shrine is often prosperous. Cheng Zhongde is also a talented person, but how can he let the shrine in the county ignore it?"

The so-called "promiscuous temple" refers to the temples that are not worshipped by the state, but are spontaneously raised by the common people to worship someone or something. The existence of prostitution temples has a long history. "Ximen leopard ruled Ye" is a story of a famous official punishing prostitution temples. The biggest harm of the temple is to waste the people's wealth. There are many kinds of prostitution temples. Some sacrifice "things", such as the stone man in Dong'e, some sacrifice ancient people, such as Xiang Yu, and some sacrifice "evil ghosts". They are afraid of some ghosts. Some of the sacrifices were honorable officials. Speaking of which, some of the Xun clan were sacrificed by the local people, namely Xun Shu. To build a shrine."

Witchcraft was very popular in the Han and Han Dynasties, and prostitution temples were found almost everywhere. Local officials are well aware of the dangers, but they are forced by public opinion, or they are afraid of offending gods and ghosts. The former emperor of this dynasty believed in Huang Laodao, because in the Yanxi period he issued an edict "to destroy all the temples", but the decree of this forbidden temple could not be well implemented. There are "more than 600 temples" in Jinan, Qingzhou. Yingyin also has prostitution temples. Xun Zhen moved to Yingchuan and Runan counties. When he came to Dong county, he passed Chenliu county and other places. He marched through the army and saw many, many prostitution temples in these counties. He was used to it for a long time. Xuankang felt dissatisfied with what the peasant said just now, "Now relying on the strength of the wise men, and predicting that the army will be defeated," he said to Xun Zhen indignantly: "Xun Zhen was born and died, fighting thieves and pacifying the chaos, after several battles in the county, UU reading www.uukanshu.com The children of our county who went on the expedition from Xunjun have been killed and wounded in the hundreds, but their Qian leaders think that the defeat of Boji is the credit of some stone man! It's really hateful and hateful! Xunjun, go and give this shrine to It's ruined!" Xun Zhen laughed and said, "Uncle Ye, why is this!"

Xuankang followed Xun Zhen to the south and fought in the north. Although he was a literate official, he rarely went to the battlefield in person, but his vision was already wide open. In the north and south, the thieves and thieves are defeated, several counties rely on the king to be safe, and more than one million people rely on the king to survive. With the merits of the king, not to mention the small temples, even the gods and ghosts will be divided into three points! Jun Ruo I don't want to come forward in person, Kang is willing to destroy this lewd temple for the monarch and promote the monarch's prestige."

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "Nonsense! What credit do I have? To calm down several counties and to appease the people, these are all the achievements of General Huangfu. Shuye, don't talk nonsense. If this word spreads out, it won't be laughed at. ?" He was prudent by nature, and although he was surrounded by his own people at this time, he was unwilling to make people feel that he was arrogant and domineering. When Xuan Kang asked him, Xun Zhen said sternly: "Although the temple of prostitution is very harmful, but it is not in its position and does not seek its government. I am the Sima under the general's command, and I am not the magistrate of Dong'e County. It's up to me to say. Uncle Ye, don't say it anymore."

Xi Zhicai nodded secretly and said in his heart, "Although Zhenzhi is a champion of the three armies, he keeps his duty and is neither arrogant nor arrogant. If you only look at his present gentleness and courtesy, who can imagine that he is above the battle formation? Is the bravery unworthy of it?"
