The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

After the Battle of Xiaquyang, the main force of the Jizhou Yellow Turbans was completely wiped out. www_dyzw8_m/no+pop-up+window+small+said+net/everyone with a discerning eye can see that although there are still some remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Henan, Yan, Qing, Ji and other prefectures, the overall war to pacify the Yellow Turbans can be said to have ended. .

Huangfu Song specially summoned Xun Zhen to ask him what his plans after the war were, and repeating the old saying, asked him if he wanted to go to Liangzhou to guard the border of the Han family.

Liangzhou has a strong folk style and is rich in cavalry. If you go to Liangzhou, the advantage is that you may be able to pull up a strong cavalry. The disadvantage is that the style of writing here is not popular, the borders are poor, and the Qiang Hu, Xiongnu and Han people are intertwined, and the situation is complicated. Xunzhen is a foreigner. I don't know the situation of the Qiang Hu and Xiongnu, I have no acquaintances in Liangzhou, and I am sparsely populated. Even with the support of Huangfu Song, I am afraid it is difficult to establish a foothold in the local area. At the same time, Liangzhou is barren, the land is vast, and the people are sparse. It's really not a good place for development. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Xun Zhen politely declined Huangfu Song's proposal.

Xun Zhen's refusal was expected by Huangfu Song. In the borderland of Liangzhou, there are Han people who are Han and Hu people, and there are Han people who have been infected with the customs of the Hu people. Said that the people of their state have always been despised by the scholars in the mainland. Xun Zhen was a son of the Xun clan in Yingyin, who was a descendant of Xunzi, a Confucian noble family in the world.

Therefore, after receiving Xun Zhen's refusal, Huangfu Song did not persuade him any more, but smiled: "The sons of the famous Sima family have a high reputation, and they have made great contributions to the Han family since joining the army. Zhang Jiao, I must wait for my good news to be presented to the court, before the court will have the favor, or worship Sima as the Lang, or two thousand stone." After a pause, he smiled again, "It is the seal. Hou Yi is not surprising! ..., I will first wish Sima Gaosheng here!"

"Fenghou", the two Han Dynasties paid great attention to military merit, and based on military merit alone, he fought against the Yellow Turbans in previous battles. Xun Zhen often won the whole army, and his subordinates also had the power of beheading Zhang Jiao. Such great merit should be rewarded heavily. Not surprisingly. However, Xun Zhen's own family knew about his own family affairs. He was born in the Xun clan, which was a famous family in the nobility. He had been under the control of the party for more than ten years, and was deeply suspicious of the officials in the court. If he intends to make him a marquis, I am afraid that Zhang will let them mess up, so he has never asked for a marquis.

Therefore, Huangfu Song, while garrisoned outside Quyang City, spread good news and the capital.

In late August, the imperial decree came down.

First of all, of course, was to reward Huangfu Song. At the beginning, the imperial court was divided into two divisions. Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi led the troops to divide the states. Lu Zhi was unable to attack Guangzong for a long time, and Zhu Jun was unable to attack Nanyang. After pacifying Yingchuan, Runan, and Dongjun, Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo tried to pacify Jizhou, and he almost succeeded in pacifying Henan, Yan, Qing, and Jizhou by one person. Brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Bao were successively defeated by him. Beheading, the credit is the greatest, no one can compare, because he worshipped him as the general of the left chariot and cavalry, led Jizhou shepherds, sealed Huaili Hou, Shihuaili and Meiyang counties, together 8,000 households.

The general of the left chariot and the cavalry, the head of the Jizhou shepherd, the marquis of Huaili, and the eight thousand households of food, these three awards are extraordinary.

First of all, the Marquis of Huaili was sealed and 8,000 households were eaten. It is very common to obtain a feudal lord for military merit, and it is rare to eat 8,000 households.

Second, Jizhou animal husbandry. The state shepherd and the governor are not only different in name, but also in rank and real power.

The prefect rank is six hundred shi, the state shepherd ranks 2,000 shi, and the rank of chariot general is higher than that of the third public. As the general of the left chariot and cavalry, he serves as the Jizhou shepherd, and the rank is higher, at least the middle 2,000 shi. The prefect only has the authority to supervise. The prefect of 2,000 shi is in prison with 600 shi, and the rank is inferior to the power. This is the emperor's technique of "controlling the size and the weight". The rank of the state shepherd is at least 2,000 shi. Just like the prefect, Zhong Erqianshi is higher than the prefect, so naturally he has the power to give politics and the people, as well as military power. That is to say, the state shepherd is the highest military and political officer in a state. In the time of the former Han Dynasty, the governor and the governor of the state changed back and forth, sometimes they were governors, and sometimes they were governors, but in this dynasty, since the eighteenth year of Jianwu, the governor of Wang Mang was changed to the governor, and it has not changed. In the past, until today, I worship Huangfu Song as the shepherd of Jizhou.

This is probably due to reasons. One is that Jizhou was initially established. This is Zhang Jiao’s base camp, and a strong prefectural shepherd was needed to stabilize the post-war order. So this shows respect.

Again, the left chariot general. The generals of the Han Dynasty were very honorable and were not often appointed. They were appointed only when there was war. The most expensive was the general, followed by the general of the hussars, and the general of the charioteer. There are four generals in the Han Dynasty: the general, the general of the hussars, the general of the chariots, and a general of the guards. These four generals are all golden and purple ribbons, ranking thousands of stones, which is the highest grade.

Since this dynasty, most of those who were worshipped as generals of chariots and cavalry were foreign relatives, and Huangfu Song got this title purely for military merit. There is no hussar general in the court now, and He Jin was worshipped as a general at the beginning of the year. In other words, in terms of military position, Huangfu Song is now the second person in the entire empire.

This imperial decree of the imperial court was announced in front of the whole army. Xun Zhen heard the five characters "General of the Left Chariot" and said to himself, "This is the imperial court's check and balance strategy. Since there is a 'left', There will definitely be a 'right'. There were three people who led troops out of Beijing at the beginning, and Lu Zhi is now convicted, as well as General Huangfu and Zhu Jun. I think this 'general of the right chariot' was prepared for Zhu Jun."

Xun Zhen guessed right, that is exactly what Chaozhong planned.

The more troubled the world is, the more it is necessary to check and balance the officials. The general status of chariots and cavalry is too high, and Huangfu Song is worshipped as the shepherd of Jizhou. Although the Yellow Turban is fixed, the world is not at peace. In this chaotic world, Huangfu Song has a high position and a reputation. Because of sitting in a big place, chaos is created in the place, so I have to do this as a last resort. Although Zhu Jun's military exploits were far inferior to Huangfu Song, although he was not qualified to be on an equal footing with Huangfu Song, but now he has also won it, and he was worshipped as a general on the right side of the cavalry soon after.

Having said that, this is the first time since the Han Dynasty that the generals of the chariot and cavalry were divided into left and right.

Facts have proved that the court's concerns are correct. Before the imperial decree came down, Yan Zhong persuaded Huangfu Song to rebel. If he did not find someone to check and balance Huangfu Song and divide his authority, even if Huangfu Song himself insisted on being a loyal minister and leaving a name, But he couldn't stop more ambitious people from flocking to gather around him. If so, sooner or later there will be trouble.

The imperial decree is very long. After Huangfu Song, there are rewards for the clan members, the captains of the Northern Army, Zou Jing, etc. According to the rank, Xun Zhen is in the middle. Finally, the court official who announced the decree read the reward for Xun Zhen, but the content of the reward was beyond his expectations.

Neither did he worship him as a man, nor did he serve as the prefect of the county, nor was he appointed as the magistrate of a large county, nor was he named a marquis, but he was worshiped as a lieutenant of the State of Zhao, and he was given some money. Fu Xie followed closely behind him and was worshiped as the Captain of An Ding. Lieutenant and Du Li are actually the same, but the names are different. They are called Lieutenant in the country and Du Li in the county. This imperial decree only mentions the reward for those who are now more than 600 stone, and does not mention the reward for officials who are less than 600 stone and those who are now in vain and meritorious.

This imperial decree was read out, and another special court official read out the awards to the officials below six hundred stone in the afternoon. The county chief of Pingyuan, but he did not have the name of Liu Bei.

Xin is the capital of Anping Kingdom. The previous magistrate was Yan Zhong, but it was a large county. Xin Ai was originally a white man, but because of his work in beheading Zhang Jiao, he was promoted to the official of a thousand stone.

However, Xin Ai was not happy after receiving the imperial decree, and his behavior and speech were the same as usual, as if there was no such thing.

Xuankang said with admiration and admiration: "Xin is the capital of Anping, with a population of tens of thousands and an area of ​​hundreds of miles. Now, as the county's decree, you will wear a black ribbon and a bronze seal. , you will be able to display your ambitions right away, this is a big happy event! If it were me, I would have been happy long ago, but Jun Yan Ran is calm, no different from the previous rì. "

Xin Ai smiled and said, "It's not that I'm flattered, it's just that I don't plan to be the county magistrate."

Li Boshi was on his side, and was shocked when he heard the words, saying: "You are an official of a thousand stones at the age of more than 20 years, and you are in a large county. There are few in this dynasty, you are young and noble, and many people can't ask for it. Why do you say it? This statement?"

"It's not my will to sit on the ground and herdsmen. The reason why I fought from Sima, fought for thousands of miles, and fought with blood, was not to be a county magistrate, but to fight thieves and pirates. Not to mention Qianshi Ling, he is the prefect of two thousand stones. , as long as I can't hit the thief, it will be like a floating cloud to me."

"Then what do you think?"

"It's okay to resign. Sima Jin was made a lieutenant of Zhao State. I heard that many of the rest of the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou escaped into the mountains of Zhao State, Changshan, Shangdang, and Taiyuan. This is the place I want to go. !"

"You want to resign from office and go to Zhao State from Xunjun?"

"Of course."

Xin Ai joined the army with Xun Zhen not because he wanted to be an official, but because he liked to fight on the battlefield, so the Order of a Thousand Stones, which many people dreamed of, was useless to him and abandoned like a sham. Li Bo was stunned by this attitude of not taking fame, fortune, and wealth seriously, and Xuankang admired him even more. Xin Ai didn't want the order of a thousand stones, and he was willing to go from Xunzhen to Zhao State. Xi Zhicai and Xun Zhen had a closer relationship, and naturally he would not accept the appointment of the six hundred stone county chief. He also wanted to follow Xunzhen to Zhao State.

When the incident came out, all the soldiers in the battalions of the Han army were amazed.

Liu Bei said with emotion: "Xin and Xi have abandoned high-ranking officials like rotten flesh, do not want to receive a bronze seal and a black ribbon, and are willing to enter Zhao from my brother with a white body, which is righteous. Alas, I know that my brother is good at winning people, but he doesn't want it. It's so heartwarming!"

When Huangfu Song heard about it, he was amazed and sighed. He gave up his job and was willing to follow Xun Zhen to Zhao. The righteous man was not anonymous, and Xi Zhicai and Xin Ai had the ability to kill Zhang Jiao. Such a great achievement would not be possible without a reward. Therefore, he specially wrote to the court, requesting that Xi Zhicai and Xin Ai be transferred to the territory of Zhao State.

The Han people valued justice, and when the DPRK heard about this, they were quite straightforward, and immediately changed the post of Xi Zhicai to Lieutenant Commander of Zhao State, and Ren Xin Ai to be the Commander of Zhongqiu. The lieutenant is the subordinate of the lieutenant, and Zhongqiu is a county in the state of Zhao. This time, Xi Zhicai accepted the appointment, but Xin Ai resigned again. It is more zìyóu for the two Han Dynasty to go to office. If you want to go to work, you can accept the court's expedition. If you don't want to go to work, you can quit. Xin Ai refused to resign twice in a row, showing his firm attitude, and the court did not make any further appointments, and instead gave him a lot of money.

Xin Ai was originally a romantic and casual person who didn't care about fame and fortune, but because of his two consecutive resignations this time, and his ability to kill Zhang Jiao, he gained a world-famous reputation.

Some people admire his righteousness for this, some people laugh at him for being stupid, and some people are jealous and envious of the two appointments given to him by the court.

Among the envious people, Liu Bei is one.

In the Battle of Guangzong, Liu Bei led Guan Zhang and others to break the positions of the Yellow Turban dead soldiers, and made a lot of credit. In the battle of Quyang, he made a lot of credit. He thought that the court should have his share in the reward, but the result But the bamboo basket was empty, and Kong was overjoyed. The imperial edict did not mention his name from beginning to end, on the contrary, many people who did not make any military exploits were listed.

It goes without saying that there are people in the court. These people are children of nobles or children of eunuchs. Without exception, they all have great backers, even several. The name of a man who never joined the army at all was among them.

Liu Bei was nominally a member of the Han clan, but in fact their lineage had long since become a poor family. Now he has neither fame nor a voice, and his teacher Lu Zhi is unable to protect himself, and no one in the court can speak to him. Therefore, although there is merit, it is not rewarded. The government is dark, but this is also a helpless thing. Liu Bei was dissatisfied and sighed, but Xun Zhen was overjoyed.

I thought that Quyang would be separated from Liu Bei at the next moment. From then on, it was difficult to find a chance to kill him, but I didn't expect Liu Bei to be rewarded. Xun Zhen thought: "Is this a good opportunity given to me by God?" Immediately When he went to Liu Bei's camp, he was kind and lenient, and encouraged him: "The wise brother is talented and not mediocre. Although he didn't get a reward from the imperial court this time, don't be discouraged. I heard that a lot of Yu Dangsan from the Yellow Turbans fled into the mountains of Zhao State, Changshan, Shangdang and other places. I would like to ask my virtuous brother to surrender to the meritorious officer in my house."

A lieutenant, such as the commander of the county, is in charge of fighting Kou Ping thieves. The area around Zhao Guo, Changshan, and Shangdang was the place where the Montenegrin Army emerged soon. The Montenegrin Army was the most powerful rebel army after the Yellow Turban Army. Although no one has yet raised the banner of Montenegro, there are already many Jizhou Yellow Turbans. Yu Dang fled into these places, and Xun Zhen said that he was "really uneasy." This is not a modest statement. Thinking that when the Montenegrin army was at its peak, it was known as a million people. Zhonglang general, Xun Zhen did not know how long he would stay in Zhao State.

"Fuzhong Gong Cao", the lieutenant's rank is two thousand stone, and like the county governor, not only does it have a prime minister, but also has the power to use subordinate officials on his own, and he is the same as the subordinate officials of the county governor. For the meritorious Cao, one is the main book.

Liu Bei said in his heart: "I fought hard for more than a month, and I was desperately drenched in blood, but I couldn't get a reward! My generation is so lowly famous that I can't get a reward, but there are many people who have no meritorious military achievements. The eunuch's officials have mistaken the country, it's abominable and can be killed! My brother Gongsun Bogui is the long history of the vassal state in the border area, and there are often wars with the Xianbei. I heard that every time he fights with the Xianbei, he is always victorious and unbeaten, and it will shake Liaodong. He wants to serve in front of his tent, and make more military achievements in order to gain fame. My brother Zhenzhi wants to use my lieutenant's meritorious service, this..." After hesitating for a while, he quickly made a decision, "Previously My brother Zhenzhi wanted to call me under his account, but I declined because I met him for the first time and were not familiar with each other. After that, I often regretted that if I had promised my brother Zhenzhi to be under his account, Although I don’t dare to compare the merits I have made with Xin and Xi, at least this time the imperial court award should not be without my name!”

Xun Zhen's subordinates only had more than 3,000 people, but this time the imperial court rewarded ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, but three of his men were worshipped as more than 600 stone, which was rare in the entire Han army, and very few of them. Liaodong was poor and poor, so instead of going to Gongsun Zan to suffer, it was better to agree to Xun Zhen's request.

He immediately said: "Brother loves you so much, how dare you say no!"

Xun Zhen was overjoyed, got up from the seat, walked to Liu Bei's seat, bent down and held his hand, laughed and said, "With Xuande's help, I'm not worried!" She raised her eyes and looked at Guan and Zhang who were standing behind Liu Bei. He thought in his heart: "Before in the army, there were tens of thousands of cavalry riders, many people, and it was not easy to kill Liu Bei, but this time he came to my Zhao State, as an official under the tent, but he was like a turtle in a urn, and he let me knead it. That's it! It's just that... Guan and Zhang are loyal to him, and they each have their own courage. When I kill him, I have to figure out how to deal with them first."

——

1. As the general of the left chariot and cavalry, he served as the animal husband of Jizhou, and the rank is higher, at least the middle two thousand stone.

Liu Yan used Jiuqing as the state shepherd, because Jiuqing was the middle 2,000 shi, so after he came out as the state shepherd, he was also the middle 2,000 shi. The chariot and cavalry generals ranked higher than Sangong, and had the same rank as Sangong, so as the general of chariots and cavalry as the state shepherd, perhaps it should be Zhiwanshi.
