Three Kingdoms

Ambitious people always see opportunities.

The greater the ambition, the more opportunities it seems...

But in fact this is not the case, but ambitious people are willing to take more risks, and even risk their lives for the last chance of success.

Some people succeed and are brilliant, attracting everyone's attention, but more people fail, with their bones piled high, falling into the shadows, unnoticed.

Zheng Tai is an ambitious person.

only……

When he was young, Zheng Tai was very thoughtful, rarely talented, and easy to make friends with heroes. At the beginning, he was promoted to be filial and honest, and the establishment of three government offices and public transportation were not achieved. The family was wealthy and had four hundred hectares of land, but there was often not enough food. If he behaved like this, his reputation would naturally increase.

Later, He Jin assisted the government. Zheng Tai felt that the opportunity had come, and he decided to bet on He Jin. He was appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat, and later moved to serve as the Censor. However, he found that He Jin actually wanted to summon Dong Zhuo, so he advised He Jin to dissuade him, but He Jin failed. After hearing this, Zheng Tai was greatly disappointed, so he abandoned his official position and left. Later, he discussed the matter with Xun You and sighed: "Why not Yi Fu?"

Later, Dong Zhuo came and He Jin died. Zheng Tai soon became the Yilang, and together with Wu Qiong, He Yong and Zhou Ao, as Dong Zhuo's staff, they selected some Shandong nobles as officials and secretly colluded with the Shandong nobles. On.

When he was in Chang'an, Zheng Tai felt that Dong Zhuo was defeated after all, so he plotted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but failed, so he fled Chang'an in a hurry and hid in the Wubao of his gay friend Zheng Gan, originally planning to wait until he was arrested. After weakening, he went to Shandong to seek refuge, but he never expected that the situation in Guanzhong was unpredictable. He was dizzy for a while. By the time he realized it, Guanzhong had changed its controller several times.

It's a pity that everyone seems to have forgotten it. No matter who it is, they have not searched for the whereabouts of a warrior who had resisted Dong before, let alone conquered it. In the early days, Zheng Tai waited silently, but in the end, only his lonely shadow was left, never leaving him.

How could Zheng Tai, who had been determined to make great achievements in his career since childhood, endure such an unknown ending?

So, when Xu Shu started to implement the new style of Tian Zheng, Zheng Tai felt that an opportunity seemed to have come. He instigated Zheng Gan and asked Zheng Gan to take the lead in opposing Tian Zheng...

It turns out that Zheng Tai means that he can advance, attack, retreat or defend. No matter what, he can attract a wave of attention. The worst-case scenario is just to sell Zheng Gan. But he didn't expect to hear about Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi. Rumors about the defeat of Longyou and the defeat on the battlefield!

This suddenly disrupted Zheng Tai's original plan.

Fortunately, there are other options...

Hedong County, near Anyi County, has suddenly become lively recently.

The reason for the excitement is very simple. Soldiers are constantly gathering and arriving outside Anyi City. These soldiers and horses naturally need various living equipment. For Anyi, naturally, in the blink of an eye, not only the roads are congested, but also It has caused the prices of daily necessities to skyrocket.

Soldiers are also human beings, and of course they need to eat and use various things. It is better to say that there are fewer people, but when there are more people, it not only places high demands on the commander and the army, but also a huge test for the local political security.

Now, soldiers who were not originally from the same series gathered together in one place, each with their own number and flag. Most of them were some local right-wing small armed forces. They gathered in Anyi for a while, causing as many problems as those in the warehouse. Just like the rice grains, how much rice grains are consumed will increase the number of troubles. Not to mention other things, who listens to whose orders every day, who to ask for logistics, and where to live have all become the constant turmoil of Wang Yi. matter.

The military system of the Han Dynasty was originally in chaos. This time I heard that Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, had died, and I was convinced that Huchuquan had sent troops to capture Diaoyin and was attacking Linjin. I always felt that I was being betrayed by Fei Qian. Wang Yi, who was oppressed and exploited, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then under Zheng Tai's persuasion, his mind began to come alive.

It is of course possible to help Yang Biao take Guanzhong, but more importantly, he must first seize this piece of Feng Shui treasure land in Bingbeipingyang!

In the past few years, Wang Yi has watched Bingbei Pingyang grow from scratch, from rich to rich, and from rich to rich, and his eyes are staring, and they are no longer ordinary green...

Pingyang is rich!

Quite rich!

Especially now that the five-baht coin in the Han Dynasty has been completely worthless in this area, the Jiaozi paper money that flourished in Binbei Pingyang due to the expedition to Xifeiqian has penetrated into all aspects of Hedong. On the market, Even more effective than silver beans.

If Pingyang is captured, wouldn't it mean that Fei Qian's money bag is in his hands?

However, when the soldiers gathered now, in fact, each army had its own thoughts. Once again, this gathering was like a local dog on the grassland that specializes in eating carrion. Everyone is salivating, but they are unable to control each other.

As the highest official in Hedong, Wang Yi, the foreign monk Zheng Tai, and the local tycoon Wei Clan, although they have been huddled together to discuss how to fight for the past few days, no one dared to launch an attack on Pingyang easily. On the contrary, outside Anyi City, every day There were constant quarrels and frictions between the respective troops over trivial matters, which was extremely annoying.

In fact, among the three of them, Zheng Tai has the strongest desire to fight, followed by Wang Yi. After the Wei family drove away Wei Jian from the hawk faction, the turtle faction naturally gained the upper hand, so they had the mentality of picking up the slack. Come on, the desire to actually go into battle is not strong.

The problem is not just that, Zheng Tai is not interested in Bingbei. He does not want to lead the team that attacks Bingbei Pingyang, because although money is attractive, power is even more tempting! Compared with Pingyang's money, gaining the power and status in Guanzhong is what really attracts Zheng Tai!

Even if Pingyang was defeated, he might have to face Fei's troops lurking in Yinshan. Even if he finally won, the feast in Guanzhong would be almost over. Could it be that he would stay in Bingzhou forever and serve as The border guard generals of Yang Biao, Wang Yi and others?

Are you kidding me?

Therefore, when selecting the leader to attack Pingyang, Zheng Tai stated that he wanted to lead the army to Guanzhong and did not want to participate in the attack on Pingyang...

For Wang Yi, the shadow left in his heart by General Fei Qian of the Western Conquest was too deep and the area was too large. He has not fully recovered for a while. In addition, during this period of pampering in Hedong, his body's Fat is increasing day by day with age. Riding a horse is tiring, and the war horse is also struggling. It is somewhat timid to really charge into battle.

It is even more impossible for the Wei family. It is okay to take advantage of it, and it is no problem to provide some soldiers and manpower. But when the army goes into battle, the old man of the Wei family is leaning on a cane, blowing his beard, trembling, and looking uncertain. Zheng Tai and Wang Yi were somewhat embarrassed after leaving the battle and going directly to the funeral...

For a while, in Anyi, Hedong, although the soldiers gathered together, they were still a little entangled.

…………………………

The sun was hanging in the western sky, and it was still early to completely set. However, in Pingyang City, Zhao Shang had already told his servants, closed the door, and sat alone in the study without lighting a candle or oil lamp, just staring at the sky. It dimmed a little bit.

The last time Zhao Shang saw Fei Qian was on such an afternoon. Originally, Zhao Shang thought Fei Qian was going to reward him and give him a promotion, but he didn't expect that everything he had worked hard for in Taiyuan would become someone else's.

Nepotism!

ungrateful!

treachery!

Ever since he learned that he had been transferred to the so-called education inspectorate, Zhao Shang felt that everything in his life had become bleak.

Zhao Shang was also ambitious. If he had not been ambitious, he would not have traveled all the way from Jizhou to Bingzhou.

Although he studied under Zheng Xuan for the longest time, he did not achieve the most achievements and is still unknown to this day.

Huchuquan is actually a force that Zhao Shang has come into contact with a few years ago. When Wang Hei of Taiyuan was studying in Pingyang Academy and Wang Chen wanted to acquire the Wang family's foundation, he contacted it on his behalf. Hu Chuquan, but in the end Zhao Shang discovered that Wang Chen actually had great ambitions and talents but could not achieve anything big, so he sold Wang Chen...

Although this is somewhat dark, there is no other way. You can't follow a fool all the way to darkness, right?

Zhao Shang sat behind the desk in the bookstore, tilting his head slightly, watching the light of the setting sun recede little by little, shrink little by little, and his face was gradually shrouded in darkness.

He wants a lot, but since Fei Qian can't give it to him, he naturally has to find a way to get it himself!

Zhao Shang has read a lot of classics, but he doesn't know much about things above the battlefield. If he really organizes some military brigades, a few hundred people will be enough. If there are more people, he won't be able to take care of them. Therefore, if you want to get more things, you must borrow the power of others.

Zhao Shang didn't want much, but someone in Pingyang was interested in it, and he knew it, so he wanted Taiyuan and wanted back a piece of territory that originally belonged to him.

Just as the sun was about to set, the person Zhao Shang was waiting for finally arrived...

…………………………

Night can always hide many things, whether they are beautiful or ugly.

Because he rushed back to Guanzhong with his cavalry, Fei Qian naturally did not spend all his time building camps along the way. According to the habits of the Hu people, he set up a plum blossom camp at his foothold.

Four small camps in the east, west, north and south control the peripheral vision, and most of the war horses, baggage, etc. are concentrated in the middle camp. On the one hand, it is convenient, and on the other hand, it also focuses on safety. In the wilderness, there was a bonfire lit by gas, and the soldiers sat around the bonfire. While cooking and eating, they also roasted their sweaty clothes and smoked their sore muscles and bones.

He hurried from Guanzhong to Longxi, and then rushed back to Guanzhong from Longxi. Although Fei Qian did not tell these cavalry soldiers the specific situation, in fact, these veterans could guess a thing or two.

Fei Qian was holding a bowl of mixed rice porridge, sitting on a stone in front of the bonfire, blowing and snoring, then looked at Huang Xu who was walking over, and said, "How is it?"

Huang Xugong cupped his hands and said: "It's okay. My subordinates walked around and chatted with some soldiers. Most of them guessed that something happened in Guanzhong, but most of them had no complaints, and some were making calculations. How many levels of heads do I have left before I can exchange for the merit reward..."

The light of the bonfire shone brightly and dimly on the faces and bodies of the surrounding soldiers, and some soft laughter among the soldiers floated in the wind from afar.

"Well, I got it, that's enough..." Fei Qian nodded, pointed to the mixed rice porridge stewed on the campfire, and said, "You haven't eaten it yet. Serve it yourself... Well, Wen He is here, eat it." Are you ready? Want a bowl?"

Fei Qian was holding a wooden bowl and sipping mixed rice porridge. When he saw Jia Xu coming, he greeted him like an old farmer in the country, as if he had an extra pair of chopsticks.

"This...so, thank you Junhou..." Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, smiled, sat down, took the wooden bowl handed over by the guard at the side, and spooned some mixed rice porridge into the bowl. He blew in and drank slowly. Perhaps it was the hot porridge that made her feel better. Jia Xu drank the porridge, and the tense expression on her face finally relaxed.

Fei Qian handed the empty wooden bowl to the guard, then took a water bag to rinse his mouth, swallowed it, and then said slowly: "This place in Guanzhong may have interacted with Qiang and Hu for a long time, and it is somewhat subtle. Get up, many things seem to be slowly changing, like right now..."

"...There is no longer the bloody bravery of the pre-Qin Dynasty, but more calculations of interests..." Fei Qian looked at the dark night and said, "... Originally this land cultivated the spirit of martial arts and founded the The grand empire made a sound that shook the world, but now it has become a gathering place for a group of silverfish..."

Not to mention the former Qin Dynasty, just the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, let alone Wen, Jing, Han and Wu. Even Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty still had iron-blooded tactics. By the time of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, they respected Confucianism more and more, and as a result, they changed from a good Although he is far away, he will be killed, and it becomes Zhaojun leaving the stronghold.

If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, would he beat him until he didn't even recognize his mother? After all, what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hated the most was the Huns, and what he disliked the most was marriage...

From the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it was not a dynasty that paid attention to balance and fairness, otherwise it would not have slaughtered all the heroes after the founding of the country. After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, amid the chaos and noise, it put on a robe with a primitive and barbaric atmosphere. The Han people still worship power and force.

As for etiquette, it is something to decorate the surface so that your appearance will not be evil. As a result, some people think etiquette is more important and will not eat without etiquette.

In feudal society, iron and blood are not terrible, but the lack of iron and blood is terrible.

In fact, in the social structure of the past and present, people may yearn for a harmonious society of freedom and equality, but at the social level, class is not necessarily a matter that needs to be taken care of. In most cases, a stable social structure does not need to care about whether people are equal. The most fair way to get to the top is the core that needs to be maintained.

It is not scary to have huge class differences in a country or organization. What is scary is that people at the bottom can never be promoted to the privileged class after hard work. In order to protect their own interests, the privileged class only knows how to use the stupidest means to guard against death. The paths gradually become deadlocked, and the privileged class becomes hereditary and begins to monopolize the paths to the upper class. When it becomes increasingly difficult for smart people from the lower class to get to the top, the dissatisfaction of these lower class people will increase, and they will eventually have no choice but to rebel.

The Zheng family in Guanzhong, in order to preserve his privileges, adopted the most stupid behavior.

"Wen He, it seems that we have been holding back for too long and have given in too much..." Fei Qian held the hilt of the Zhongxing Sword at his waist and said, "So much so that some people have forgotten that we still have swords and guns in our hands..."

"..." Jia Xu was solemn for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "It will be as you wish."
