Three Kingdoms

The night wind was strong, causing the torches to flicker violently. As the light and shadow trembled, the shadows on Jia Qu's face also danced with it, as if covered with an unknown mask.

Although Jia Qu is not very old, he has worked his way from being a fake Shangdang County Sheriff to a full-time position in the past few years. It is like being straightened up as a deputy secretary in the local area. Whether it is his connections or his background, he has naturally accumulated some accumulation, and his reputation is getting stronger and stronger. , coupled with the fact that it was night again, Zhang Liao was indeed a little uneasy when he suddenly arrived at the camp.

After half-opening the camp gate, he welcomed Jia Qu into the Chinese army's tent. Zhang Liao asked Jia Qu to sit down side by side. Although Zhang Liao was the commander in the camp, in terms of rank, Jia Qu was one level higher than Zhang Liao. level. Although both of them have two thousand shi, Jia Qu's real two thousand shi, while Zhang Liao's is only two thousand shi.

What Zhang Liao didn't expect was that Jia Qu did not sit up, but stepped aside and invited a guard behind him to the front...

The guard pulled off the scarf around his face and said with a smile: "Wenyuan, are you okay?"

"General Zhengxi!" Zhang Liao looked Fei Qian up and down, "Why is it like this...General, please take a seat..."

Fei Qian nodded slightly and sat down at the top. Zhang Liao did not dare to sit on one side. Instead, he retreated to the bottom and sat on the left side, giving up the honorary seat on the right to Jia Qu.

The three of them sat down.

Fei Qian waved his hand and asked the guards to be on guard outside the tent, and then said: "Wen Yuan doesn't need to worry too much. I don't have any suspicion about Wen Yuan when I come here, but I have entrusted you with something important!"

Zhang Liao cupped his hands and said seriously: "General, please give me your orders!"

Fei Qian nodded, looked at Zhang Liao, and paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to say it.

Regardless of historical deeds or Fei Qian’s understanding of Zhang Liao during this period, Zhang Liao certainly has nothing to say and is impeccable in military affairs, but what is commendable is that Zhang Liao’s people are also very smart. In other words He also has high emotional intelligence and is very graceful in dealing with others.

Jia Qu also had a high opinion of Zhang Liao, so he agreed to Fei Qian's somewhat risky behavior tonight.

Zhang Liao's heart was also racing. After all, the arrival of Fei Qian and Jia Qu at the same time meant that the situation was serious, and Zhang Liao seemed to have vaguely guessed something...

"Wen Yuan, do you think Wen Hou is better than Zhou Tiaohou, who is thinner than Zhou Tiaohou?" Fei Qian said slowly. Zhou Xiliu and Zhou Tiaohou are both the same person, Zhou Yafu. Zhou Yafu became famous because of his reputation as the leader of the Xiliu Military Camp, and he also held the title of Marquis, so he had these two titles.

Zhang Liao's mouth moved, and he remained silent for a moment before saying, "Wen Hou is not as good as Tiao Hou."

Zhou Yafu is a descendant of a famous family and the second son of the famous general Jianghou Zhou Bo. He served as Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. He was famous for being good at running the army and leading troops, and being outspoken and upright. His military talents were outstanding. During the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu During the period, he commanded the Han army and put down the rebels in three months. It can be said that without Zhou Yafu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not have the qualifications to be arrogant. After all, the faster the civil strife is calmed down, the more ambitious people will have to restrain themselves, and the national power will not be consumed too much.

However, Zhou Yafu was a good soldier in leading the battle, but he was an idiot in politics. The reason why Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty tolerated Zhou Yafu was because he needed Zhou Yafu to eliminate internal and external troubles. After the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion was settled, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty immediately withdrew Zhou Yafu's military power. , but more or less in the face of many years of meritorious service, Zhou Yafu was allowed to serve as prime minister for a period of time.

It's a pity that even though Zhou Yafu became the prime minister, he still didn't make much progress in politics. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty couldn't bear it anymore, so he implicated his son and grandson in the crime of treason and was deprived of their titles. The Zhou family completely fell from being a wealthy family. .

Although Wen Hou Lu Bu was also a marquis, there was a big difference in weight between the early Han Dynasty and the current marquis. Lu Bu did not have the deeds and illustrious military exploits that could be praised like Zhou Yafu, so Zhang Liao certainly could not be ignorant. The conscience says stupid things, but it can only be said realistically that there is still a big gap between Lu Bu and Lu Bu.

"...Wen Yuan knows," Fei Qian nodded slightly and said slowly, "...somewhere away from Taiyuan, Marquis Wen opened a government office and made an appointment with the Taiyuan nobles?"

Zhang Liao was stunned, raised his hands and said, "I don't know, Liao." Zhang Liao didn't know what to say.

Do you think Lu Bu is too impatient?

Or is Fei Qian too preoccupied?

No matter how you say it, it’s not good and you can’t say it.

Fei Qian smiled and did not continue talking about this topic. Instead, he patted the Hu stool under him and said: "When the locals first arrived in Taiyuan, the Wang family of Taiyuan and their descendants met a certain person in the twenty-mile pavilion. , so he set up a bench and a mat in the pavilion and invited someone to take a seat. Based on Wen Yuan's opinion, should I sit down or should I not sit down?"

Zhang Liao's eyes moved and he thought for a long time before saying: "You shouldn't sit down."

"Why?" Fei Qian asked.

"Whether to sit or not is the general's choice," Zhang Liao said solemnly, "Taiyuan nobles are not allowed to make arbitrary arrangements."

Fei Qian laughed, nodded and said: "There is some truth in it. But if someone is not seated, it is not for this reason, but for other reasons. As Kong Zhongni said, if you choose good things, follow them, if not, change them. I People like the others have the world in mind. If the Hu people have their abilities, they will take them. If the Han people have their abilities, they will use them. How can they stop eating because of the differences between the Hu and Han people? A wise man once said that when you live in the world, you should stick to the center and take the essence. Get rid of the dross. If someone sits down before taking a seat at the table, you should not be biased."

Of course, Fei Qian's words can also be understood positively. If you understand them the other way around, they won't have another meaning.

Zhang Liao was silent.

"Nowadays, most people in Shandong think that people from Shanxi are close to Hu. They dress in Hu clothes, eat Hu cakes, and use Hu things, which is disrespectful to Han customs, so they have many different words. Little do they know that Duke Zhou came from Xiqi, and the Qin people set up in Xirong , Zhao Wu, riding and shooting in Hu uniforms, all were victorious with Hu..." Fei Qian continued, "At the time of Zhao Wu, many young masters had objections, saying they were ill and not going to court, and there were also Zhao Wen, Zhao Zao and others who wanted to cause chaos. Fortunately, After the prince became a banner, he realized that he had not rebelled, and Zhao Wu destroyed the Zhongshan Kingdom, defeated the Linhu and Loufan tribes, and established the three counties of Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Dai, and achieved unparalleled achievements."

"In this way, we should not be evil because of Hu, not be happy because of Han, take the position of those who are capable, recruit talented people to calm the people, work together to defend against foreign enemies, only then can we rectify the world and protect the country..." Fei Qian looked at Zhang Liao and said , "Marquis Wen has the ability of Zhou Tiaohou, and also has the desire to bring peace to the land and the people. He should have accomplished a lot of things. However, Marquis Wen has a pure nature and is easily bewitched by evil spirits. Therefore, I met Wen Yuan today and asked me to entrust you with something..."

Zhang Liao's heart skipped a beat and he said without any hesitation: "Please give me your orders, general. Liao will obey you in every way."

Fei Qian nodded, leaned forward a little, and whispered a few words...

…………………………

The Taihang Mountains stand tall and majestic.

More than a hundred light-armored cavalry meandered along the mountain road. In the queue, some were dressed as barbarians, and some were dressed as Han people. Mixed together, it seemed a bit special.

These cavalry are a common situation for many border armies of the Han Dynasty. Sometimes, the Hu people and the Han people fight to the death, but sometimes they get together. People who don’t understand the situation will naturally find it a bit incredible, but in fact This is normal in a situation where Hu and Han people intersect on the border.

Because just like the Han people, there are also Jizhou people, Yuzhou people, and Yizhou people. The Hu people are also divided into different tribes. Sometimes the tribes are good and sometimes bad, and sometimes they even attack each other, just like the Han people. War will also break out, so one Hu tribe goes south to plunder, and another Hu tribe joins forces with the Han people. Things that seem very different are actually the norm.

Moreover, the Han Dynasty had some psychological advantages over the Hu people for the past two hundred years, so it was common for the Hu people to recruit Hu people into the border army, and even the Hu people who admired the culture and economy of the Han people and took the initiative to move closer. Just like the tribes of Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin.

Of course, the Xianyu family, er, Xianyu family, consider themselves to be Han Chinese, because they believe that they are descendants of Jizi. At that time, Jizi was the grand master of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. He repeatedly remonstrated with King Zhou about his debauchery and cruelty. King Zhou remained the same and did not want to repent. Later, Jizi was imprisoned.

After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, Jizi bluntly advised King Wu to implement benevolent government, but he refused to accept King Wu's request to serve as a minister again, so he left Liaodong and entered the ancient Joseon Kingdom. According to legend, one of his descendants, Zhongzhong, was granted a fiefdom in Yuyi. He combined the name of the country and the name of the city and called himself the Xianyu clan.

However, because Xian Yufu and others have lived in the Donghu area for too long, they have almost transformed into Hu. That is to say, these people in the main family still have some Han thoughts, and the rest of the ordinary Xianyu people are and Donghu intermarry, and there is no inheritance of Han culture, so their appearance is almost the same as that of Donghu people.

In the queue, the one still wearing Han family robes was not the two brothers Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin, but Liu He.

Liu He is the son of Liu Yu.

Liu Yu can be said to be the first batch of royal family members to be named state shepherds. In addition, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was still in power at the time, so some things were relatively standardized. Liu Yu served in Youzhou, and Liu He stayed in Luo. Yang served as Lang Guan, and his position was worshiped in the poem.

Of course, Liu He only held a false position and did not have any actual specific affairs. In fact, his identity was similar to that of Liu Fan and Liu Dan at that time. He was just a hostage left in Luoyang by an expatriate feudal official. Although he really had something During the incident, no one usually cares about the proton's life or death, but it is more or less a ritual, just like a certain association seems to have a sense of existence in March every year.

In the Taihang Mountains, the early spring scenery feels quite vibrant.

In the sky and the earth, the mountains are undulating, and the green color is gradually growing all around. The tops of the cliffs are shrouded in white mist, and birds and beasts are singing in the mountain streams from time to time. If it is a scenery, it will definitely make future generations of urbanites who are used to seeing gray and white concrete envious. But for this group of people, they turned a blind eye, as if these beautiful mountains did not exist at all.

Liu He's face was a little dull, and he didn't smile much all the way.

Just like most people, especially a man who was born into a royal family and grew up in an official family, he is attached to power, just like a gambler is attached to casinos, a smoker is attached to cigarettes, and a drunkard is attached to fine wine. It's hard to let go, and even once you leave, it's extremely painful.

After Gongsun Zan killed Liu He's father, Liu He initially thought that the world-famous Yuan family could be like the legendary messenger of justice who came riding on colorful auspicious clouds, and could help him complete the road of revenge, and then his son would inherit his father's legacy. , but what he never expected was that Yuan Shu didn't even look at him seriously, and didn't even bother to do anything perfunctory. He directly asked Yang Hong to contact him, completely treating Liu He as an ordinary general and civil servant.

Liu He even suspected that when Liu Yu was still alive, Yuan Shu left Liu with him and asked him to write a series of actions in order to provoke discord between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan...

Then Liu He found an opportunity to escape, but he didn't expect that when he arrived in Jizhou, Yuan Shao took almost the same action as Yuan Shu, detaining Liu He and trying to blackmail Liu Yu. As a result, Gongsun Zan felt a great threat , what happened next is known to everyone.

In a sense, Gongsun Zan was the direct murderer of Liu Yu, but the two brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were the behind-the-scenes planners and accomplices of this coup. After learning from the pain, Liu He became much calmer. After pretending to work under Yuan Shao and helping Yuan Shao defeat Gongsun Zan, he left the Yuan Shao series with the Xianyu family and others who had been deeply favored by Liu Yu for many years, and turned around to find General Zhengxi comes.

Because Liu He heard that Yuan Shao was going to march on Taiyuan Shangdang.

As for this path, Liu He didn't know whether he was going the right way or the wrong way, but it can be said that he didn't have many choices, because if there are still people in the world who can fight against the Yuan brothers, I'm afraid there are none now. Only Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, was left.

Xian Yuyin was riding a horse, swaying, feeling a little bored. He coughed and wanted to talk to the person next to him to brag or chat to kill the boredom of the journey. As a result, he found Xian Yufu on the right with a sullen face, Liu in front of him. He Gengshi didn't say a few words at all along the way, and they all looked preoccupied, let alone chatting with him about five baht...

Yes, Xian Yuyin also understands that there may be a name hovering in their hearts, General Zhengxi Fei Qian!

The great Han conquers the west general!

The name Fei Qian is almost the same as that of Feng Yi during the Guangwu period. They were both figures with great military exploits and pacified Guanzhong!

However……

If you compete with Yuan Shao, who is at the height of his power, can you win?

【 .】

Liu He didn't know, so he was worried.

Xian Yufu didn't know either, so he was thinking about it.

Xian Yuyin looked around, smacked his lips twice, and sighed quietly in his heart.

Just as the three of them were moving forward in silence, suddenly a sentinel from the front rushed back and reported: "Ahead, there is a group of people in front! It seems to belong to General Zhengxi!"

We met so soon?

Liu He exchanged glances with Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin, gritted his teeth and said, "Come here! Bring someone's token and go pay a visit to the Zhengxi Division!"
