The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The boy named Xiaoxiong, named Yanmeng, said disdainfully, "How could he be my brother Zilong? He is my brother Zilong's defeated general. шШщm {without *pop*window*小*said*net}"

Ten miles are different in wind, and hundreds of miles are different in customs.

Jizhou has many mountains and forests, produces horses and produces iron, the land is close to secluded, and the people are simple and martial. Changshan and Zhao State are in the westernmost part of Jizhou, adjacent to Shangdang, Taiyuan, Xihe, Shangjun and other places in Bingzhou. They are influenced by the customs of these places, especially martial arts. Yan Meng claimed that he followed Zhao Yun to hunt in the wild when he was in his teens, and he was already proficient in horsemanship at the age of fifteen or sixteen this year. When he visited Zhao Yun, before he entered the village, he saw a young man dressed as an ordinary villager who could shoot arrows with arrows and hit three arrows at a distance of fifty paces. Only from these two little things, we can see the fruitfulness of Changshan's national style.

Xun Zhen thought thoughtfully, and said to himself, "Although Bianjun's iron cavalry and Danyang's elite soldiers are well-known all over the world, and Yan Zhao's generous and elegiac warriors have long been famous, this Jizhou is also a place for elite soldiers!" He is now a lieutenant of the state of Zhao. , as long as you raise the banner of resisting the Yellow Turban Remnant Party, you can recruit Yan Zhao Jingyong in office, and expand the army openly. ——Before he arrived in Zhao State, he had already started planning to recruit troops after rì.

He looked away from the young man who was shooting arrows under the willows by the stream, and turned to the village not far ahead. At a glance, the dirt road in the village was deserted, there were not many pedestrians, and there were fields on both sides. As elsewhere, there are hardly any peasants.

He thought: "It's just that if you want to recruit troops, you have to have food. Changshan is short of food, and Zhao's land is small and there are few people, so if you think about it, you will be even more short of food. Looking at Changshan's embarrassment, even the pavilion can't support it, not to mention the recruitment of Jingyong. , training and raising soldiers? Where should this food come from?" After thinking about it, he thought, "I am a lieutenant, and I have no control over civil affairs. In the end, I have to rely on Zhao Prime Minister Liu Heng for food. General Huangfu said that this person is loyal and trustworthy, and he called me. Don't worry about his constraints, but I have to see him as soon as possible after I go to Zhao country to see what kind of person he is."

If you want to get food, there are two ways: ask Huangfu Song if you want it or grow it yourself.

The entire Jizhou was short of food, so I asked Huangfu Song to estimate how much he would come. "Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing", the best way is to grow it yourself. Xun Zhen was a lieutenant. He was only in charge of the military, but not the civil affairs. How to grow the grain had to rely entirely on Zhao Prime Minister Liu Heng.

This trip to Changshan was not in vain, even if I didn't see Zhao Yun, it was enough. Just outside the village where Zhao Yun's family lived, Xun Zhen decided on two important things after going to Zhao State: one to grow grain and one to recruit troops. He was thinking about it when he heard Xuankang ask Yan Meng: "Isn't this person Zhao Yun? Who is that? Three arrows in a row, all hit the target, so amazing!"

Yan Meng pouted his lips and said, "This is also called great? Isn't it even a pearl arrow? I can shoot it too.  …, my son Long brother's archery skills are excellent. My son Long brother is not only excellent in archery, but also in riding He has excellent skills, and both spears and swords are extremely powerful. Who does the county know? In the past few months, nearly 10,000 yellow turbans attacked me. At that time, there were less than 2,000 guards in my city. All the city officials and people were trembling. Only my son, Brother Long, was not afraid, and took more than ten horses out of the city to counter the thieves. Two in and two out, no one could stop them. The morale of the guards, officials and people in the city was greatly boosted. Doing meritorious service on the battlefield, defending the family and the country, this is the man, what does it mean to shoot a few arrows by the stream?"

Although Yan Meng was young, he spoke boldly.

Hearing the words, Xun Zhen turned around, clapped her hands lightly, and said with a smile, "'Make meritorious service on the battlefield, protect the family and defend the country, this is the real man'. Well said, well said!"

After being praised by Xun Zhen, Yan Meng blushed and said embarrassedly, "I didn't say this, it was my brother Long."

"Oh? So this is what Zhao Jun said?"

"Yes."

Can win the love of the elders and the support of the young, be kind by nature, respectful to brothers, proficient in riding and shooting, good at using spears and swords, approaching ten thousand enemies without fear, two in and two out, no one can stop, generous words : Defending the family and the country is a man.

Although Zhao Yun has not yet been seen, a full-fledged Zhao Yun has appeared in front of Xun Zhen's eyes. This image of Zhao Yun is exactly what Xun Zhen imagined. He couldn't wait, and smiled: "The village is right in front of you, let's go to the village."

All promise.

Xuankang asked Yan Meng who the young man who was shooting arrows was, but Yan Meng didn't answer him. He was very curious. The more he didn't get the answer, the more he wanted to know. Sheng asked Yan Meng: "Xiao Xiong, you haven't said who that person is?"

"The one who shoots arrows? It's called Xia Houlan."

Xiahoulan's three words were in his ears, Xun You, Xin Ai, Dian Wei, etc. didn't care, but Xun Zhen was stunned, stopped a little, looked at the stream again, and said, "Xiahoulan? This name is very familiar. . . . ..., oh, isn't that the one who was beheaded by Zhao Yun in "Romance"?" Xun Zhen remembered wrongly, in "Romance" Zhao Yun killed Xia Houen, not Xia Houlan.

Xun Zhen didn't know that she remembered it wrong, she glanced at Xiahoulan more, and said to herself, "I didn't expect that he and Zhao Yun are from the same hometown."

Either Xia Houen or Xia Houlan, they are all small characters in "Romance", Xun Zhen was just stunned for a moment, then she didn't take it seriously, and greeted Yan Meng to come forward, let him lead the way, and get down from office. Road, lead the horse to the village.

The rural road twists and turns, winding in the fields, walking about a hundred steps, and suddenly the eyes are open, a village with a wall outside is close at hand.

Inside and outside the village, the stream is gurgling, and the bottom can be seen clearly. There are willow trees hanging on the bank of the stream. Xia Houlan and others are shooting arrows by this stream, but they are upstream of the stream, some distance from the village. There are mulberry trees planted in the open space inside and outside. Most of the mulberry leaves are yellow. When the autumn wind blows, there are sometimes fallen leaves, which accumulate a layer on the ground, and when you step on it, it is soft and rustling.

Yuan Zhongqing, Zuo Bohou and others stayed inside and outside to take care of the horses. Yan Meng led the way, Xun Zhen, Xun You, Xin Ai, Dian Wei, and Xuan Kang followed behind, and six entered the middle. The rural houses are unevenly arranged on both sides of the li road. The rural houses are not as good as those in the county. Few have courtyard walls. Most of them are fenced with fences. Pear tree. The mulberry leaves are gradually falling, and when the pears are ripe, when you look around, you can see the large and small pineapples hanging on the branches.

Under the mulberry and pear trees, there are old people who are warming up, or women busy with housework, and some people can’t wear loud shouts from time to time in their houses, but it is the villagers who gather to play. Yan Meng has followed Zhao Yun here many times. Everyone in the village knows him. When they see him from the fence courtyard, those who are good at laughing will lean over to the fence to chat and joke with him, and those who are not good at talking just say hello. Whether it was a joke or a greeting, the eyes looking at Xun Zhen and others were full of curiosity, and someone asked, "Did you come to find Zilong?"

Yan Meng replied loudly, "These are the guests from Yuzhou, who came to see my son Long." The word "Yuzhou" was heavily bitten, apparently implying that Zhao Yun's reputation had already spread to Yuzhou. , When he said this, he looked proud.

Xun Zhen smiled and nodded at the villagers in response to their curiosity.

Looking from a distance from the official road, the village is relatively deserted. When entering the village, Xun Zhen found that there are still many residents in the village, but there are many people who only see the old, weak, women and children, or only young and strong, no need to ask. Knowing this, they must have lost their relatives in the chaos. Several families even had their doors closed, no one was seen, and they didn't know whether they went out or the whole family died in the chaos.

Under the curious eyes of the villagers, Yan Meng led Xun Zhen and others to the outside of a private courtyard on the left side of Li Road.

This family also uses a fence as a wall. There were a few children playing in the corner outside the courtyard. Seeing Xun Zhen and others approaching, they dispersed in a hurry. Walking outside the hospital, Xun Zhen and the others smelled a quiet fragrance, but it was not the fragrance of pears.

Everyone raised their heads to look at it, and they were all surprised, but it turned out that a big pear tree in the courtyard was blooming.

This pear tree is very tall, it is a lot higher than the roof. The trunk is so thick that it needs to be hugged by two people. The crown of the tree covers the whole yard like a canopy and an umbrella. , the tree trunk seems to be bent. Between the yellowed leaves and the rough pear fruit, there are some white pear flowers blooming on the branches. Looking up, they are very cute.

It is rare to see pear blossoms bloom in autumn. Xun You and Xuankang were amazed.

Xun Zhen didn't pay attention to the pear tree, he was attracted by the person under the pear tree.

Under the pear tree, a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy was kneeling on the table and holding a book.

Yan Meng knew that Zhao Yun's pear tree was blooming this autumn, but he couldn't say anything along the way. All he wanted to do was to see Xun You's surprise, but it was a kind of childish expression. He was very satisfied with Xun You's performance, grinned triumphantly, and was about to push the gate to enter when Xun Zhen stopped him, put her finger to her mouth, and said softly, "Shh, don't talk, don't move." The boy reading under the pear blossoms in the courtyard.

The young man read: "The Duke Ling of Jin is not a monarch, so he made a thick wall to carve a wall, bounced people from the stage, and watched him break the pill, but the husband, the bear, was not familiar with it, so he killed him, set up the dungeons, and made the women carry him. To pass the dynasty." After reading this, he sighed and said, "A ruler who does not follow the rule of the ruler is a sign of the country's subjugation." Then he read, "Zhao Dun and Shiji saw his hand, asked why, and suffered from it. When the general remonstrated, Shi Ji said: 'If you do not enter, you will not follow him. If you will, please go first, if you don't enter, then your son will follow.'" After reading this, he nodded and said, "Ling Gong is tyrannical and ruthless, and his two It is better for one person to advise each other first. In this case, if the public does not accept the advice, there is still room for it. Shiji is an old saying."

The autumn wind was blowing, and the pear blossoms danced down, landing on the young man's shoulders, on the mat and on the bamboo slips. The young man didn't care about the pear blossoms on his shoulders, just gently brushed off the petals that fell on the slips, and continued reading, "Three in, and then slip, and then look back,..."

"Jin Linggong is not a monarch," so to speak, this text comes from "Zuo Zhuan", it is about Jin Linggong not being monarchical, debauchery and tyrannical, Zhao Dun tried his best to persuade him, but instead caused the disaster of death, he had to flee. On the way to escape, Zhao Dun's younger brother Zhao Chuan killed Duke Ling of Jin. After Zhao Dun heard about it, he returned to the capital of Jin. This story is very famous in the history books, the so-called "Zhao Dun Killing the King".

Xun Zhen, Xun You, Xin Ai, Dian Wei, Xuan Kang, and Yan Meng were quietly listening to the young man while reading and discussing outside the fence.

Soon, the young man read about the place where Duke Ling of Jin sent assassins to assassinate Zhao Dun: "The public afflicted him and ordered him to be thieves. Going in the morning, the door to the bedroom will be opened, and you will be in full clothes. It's still early, so sit and sleep. He sighed and said: 'Don't forget to be respectful, the ruler of the people. The thief/the ruler of the people is unfaithful; abandon the ruler's order, and don't believe it. If you have this, it is better to die!' Touch the locust and die."

Duke Ling of Jin was fed up with Zhao Dun's repeated persuasion, so he sent the scorpion to assassinate him. He sneaked into Zhao Dun's house in the early morning and saw that Zhao Dun had already put on his dress and was ready to go to court, because it was still early before the court, and he was sitting and dozing off, so he withdrew and said with a sigh, "So Get up early and prepare to go to court, never forget to respect the monarch, you are really the backer of the people. Killing the backer of the people is disloyalty, and betraying the order of the monarch is disbelief. There is one thing in disloyalty and disbelief, and it is better to die." suicide.

The young man sighed after reading and said regretfully: "Zhao Dun did not forget to be respectful, he was a loyal minister, and he died after touching the locust tree. , Duke Ling of Jin won't use people!"

He clenched his fist and hit the mat twice, as if he was deploring what happened to Zhao Dun and Fang, but then he cheered up again, holding the roll in one hand and rubbing the long sword on his knee with the other, encouraging himself to say: "Although Zhao Dun's advice cannot be used, it has influenced the assassins. Even though Jin is dead, his reputation remains forever. When a husband is an official, he should be like Zhao Dun, and he is a scholar in the field."

After reading the bamboo slip in his hand, he turned it over and read on.

He read that Duke Ling of Jin had ambushed the soldiers at the banquet again, and let the vicious dogs come out to bite Zhao Dun. Zhao Dun's driver died trying to protect Zhao Dun. He sighed, "Another loyal minister." Then he read about Duke Ling's guards. In order to repay Zhao Dun for his life-saving grace many years ago, Lingzhu turned his halberd upside down to defend against the armored soldiers ambushed by Duke Ling of Jin, and rescued Zhao Dun from danger, and sighed, "Another righteous man!" Lingyu refused to answer, and sighed again, "A true righteous man!" Then he read that Zhao Dun had fled, and before he escaped the border, Zhao Dun's younger brother, Zhao Chuan, killed Duke Ling of Jin, and again He sighed: "There are loyal ministers and righteous people who can't use them. Duke Ling of Jin is bringing his own disaster."

I also read that when Zhao Dun heard that Zhao Chuan had killed Duke Ling of Jin, he returned to the capital of Jin, and Dong Hu, the Taishi of Jin state, wrote: "Zhao Dun killed the king", and took this statement to the court to announce. The young man sighed again: "Zhao Chuan even killed the king, but Dong Hu wrote 'Zhao Dun killed the king' in the history books, isn't he afraid of death? Aren't he afraid of being killed by Zhao Chuan and Zhao Dun? It is sacrificing life for righteousness! Another generous and righteous person!"

Reading further down, Zhao Dun said to Dong Hu: "It's not that I killed the king." Dong Hu replied: "As Zhengqing, you fled without leaving the country, and when you came back, you didn't kill Zhao Chuan, it wasn't you who killed him. Who is the prince?" Zhao Dun said helplessly: "Alas, the poem said: 'Because I miss the motherland, I have caused trouble for myself', so it's me."

The young man nodded again and again, shook his head again and again, and said, "'If you die, you won't cross the border, but you won't be a thief. Who is not your son?'? Dong Hu is very blamed. Although Zhao Dun has a bad reputation for murdering the king, he did not kill Dong Hu in the end. It can be said to be benevolent, but it would be unfair to not punish Zhao Chuan. Although Duke Ling of Jin was tyrannical, he was the monarch. How could Zhao Chuan kill the monarch without being punished? I will not take what Zhao Dun did. "

Hearing this, the story of Zhao Dun's murder of the monarch is almost over, Xun Zhen said with a smile outside the fence: "Confucius said: 'Dong Hu, the good history of ancient times, calligraphy is not hidden. Zhao Xuanzi, ancient Zhiliang Doctor, you suffer for the sake of the law. It’s a pity, you are free to cross the border. May I ask the gentleman in the court, do you think what Confucius said is right?”

Confucius said this: "Dong Hu was a good historian in ancient times, and the principle of keeping records was to write straight and not to hide. Zhao Dun was a good doctor in ancient times, and because of the principle of historians, he suffered the notoriety of killing lords. It's a pity. , if he goes out of the country~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will avoid the name of monarch."

The young man said, "What Zhao Dun did, I will not take it", obviously dissatisfied with Zhao Dun not punishing Zhao Chuan, but Confucius only said that if Zhao Dun was out of the country, he could avoid the notoriety of murdering the king, he did not say that Zhao Dun would not punish Zhao Chuan. Zhao Chuan was wrong. Therefore, Xun Zhen asked the young man whether what Confucius said was right.

Hearing Xun Zhenzhi's question, the young man raised his head and looked out of the courtyard. He saw Xun Zhen and others, and Yan Meng. He was slightly startled, put down the scroll, took off the long sword on his knees, and brushed off the clothes on his clothes and shoulders. Pear flower, calmly stood up from the seat.

He didn't show up when he was sitting, but when he stood up, Xun You and the others immediately praised: "What a tangled man!"

I saw that although he was not crowned in age, he was already tall, eight feet tall, with sparse eyebrows, and a handsome appearance. He did not rush to answer Xun Zhen, but left the table, put on his shoes, and a long sword. After tidying up his clothes, he bowed and saluted, and then said, "I'm going down to Zhao Yun, I don't know who you are?"

Xuan Kang, the youngest among the Xun Zhen people, has also been crowned. Zhao Yun was only sixteen or seventeen. At the age of a teenager, he suddenly saw so many unfamiliar adults with armor and swords, but he was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and behaved politely.
