Three Kingdoms

Winter of the fourth year of Yan Ping.

Heavy snow in Sichuan.

The group of people walked meanderingly in the wind and snow, neither fast nor slow.

It seems as if this period of time has been frozen in the wind and snow, like a timeless picture.

Fei Qian did see a lot of snow when he entered Beiguanzhong, but this was the first time he saw heavy snowfall in Sichuan and Sichuan.

Liu Bei stood aside, silently touching his newly-worn sweater, and then looked at the surrounding Zhengxi soldiers, and he could only sigh secretly in his heart. It turns out that even if it is delayed until winter, it may not be possible to escape. How many methods are there for this expedition to the west...

The heavy snow is falling, dyeing everything in the world pure white, which seems to indicate that everything will start from the beginning, and it also seems to indicate the end of everything, but Liu Bei doesn't know which one he should belong to.

Fei Qian turned his head slightly and glanced at Liu Bei, and found that Liu Bei was looking up at the sky. Snowflakes were falling on his helmet and beard, staining some gray colors. Because Liu Bei was originally a man with deep inner affairs, and with the snowflakes flying, it was not easy to distinguish Liu Bei's expression clearly, so Fei Qian couldn't guess what Liu Bei was thinking about now.

Maybe you think why this heavy snow didn’t come a few days earlier?

Are you still worried about Guan Yu's injury?

Guan Yu's injury is considered serious, but fortunately the weather is cold, so there are not as many bacteria as there were in spring and summer. Therefore, after two or three days of herbal medicine to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, the wound has gradually shrunk, at least There is no more bleeding now.

Fei Qian, a doctor who has been fighting in the north and south over the years, has also accumulated a lot of experience in Jinchuang. In addition, Fei Qian's weapons and equipment are pretty good, which means that there is basically no residue left in Guan Yu's body. Helps Guan Yu's wound healing. If it were replaced by other people's items, such as rusty iron arrows, there would be no need to apply any poison. If the broken rust dregs were left in the body, a piece of rotten flesh would be covered in three to five days!

In this way, Guan Yu's scraping of bones to heal his wounds was probably caused by rusty iron arrows, right?

The poison applied on it will be poisoned if it comes into contact with the wound or even the skin. There are many in later generations. Among them, those developed before and after World War II were at their peak. However, in the Han Dynasty, due to the production technology and technological conditions The reason for the restriction is that most poisons are mineral toxins or biological toxins, which are either limited to absorption in the digestive tract or are easily oxidized by air. Therefore, poisonous curares are not like those in later movies and TV dramas. There is a bottle of it on the street, a must-have for home and travel, and only some well-established aristocratic families may have some treasures.

Similarly, conversely, because poisons are scarce, once poisoned, people often don’t know how to treat them. Therefore, in this era, the fatality rate is still extremely high.

Fei Qianzhong was assassinated once, so no matter where he went, he was personally protected by heavy shields. If nothing else, this momentum alone was enough to scare people.

Along the way, Qixian County is in sight.

In the haze, Ling Jie ran over with two scouts. The men and horses were blowing out long smoke, like a boiling water stove, puff puff puff. "My lord, General Wu of Qixian County and others are already waiting at the city gate to welcome you..."

After Liu Bei surrendered, Wu Yi in Li County also lost his mind to continue resisting. When Zhang Liao arrived at Li County with his forwards, he almost didn't hesitate for long and immediately ordered the city to surrender.

After all, there are some differences between people.

Zhang Liao had taken control of the entire Qi County first, and the troops above and below the city were replaced by troops from the Western Expedition. The three-color flag at the top of the city was fluttering high on the flagpole in the corner of the watchtower. Its long tail feathers were moving, as if it was ready to fly away in the next moment.

Liu Bei took one look, lowered his head, and then quickly raised it again, showing a gentle smile, as if he was facing everything in front of him so calmly.

Wu Yi's head and body were covered with snowflakes, even his eyebrows and beard. After seeing General Fei Qian of Zhengxi, he quickly led everyone who greeted him to kneel down on the ground and wiped the snowflakes from the ground. The snow pressed out many large and small holes.

Fei Qian stepped forward, helped Wu Yi up, and then asked the others to get up together. He took Wu Yi by the hand and entered Li County together. His friendly gesture was enough to make the surrounding Sichuan and Shu people Oto put his heart somewhat back into his stomach.

Of course, what made these big Sichuan and Sichuan households, including Wu Yi, completely relieved was Fei Qian's attitude at the banquet...

Since ancient times, Chinese people like to talk about things at banquets, and also like to decide matters at banquets. Is the reason for this? Is it because many people in later generations can use the name of drunkenness to shamelessly retort? People will not be trusted even in future generations. Once they have suffered a loss, they will never be fooled twice. Instead, in Chinese culture, over banquets, one takes its shape and gets its meaning. Whoever eats the meat will get it. When drinking soup, whoever is given an extra piece will be given one less bite. Isn't it very similar to the situation in a banquet and meets the needs of elegance?

Therefore, when the banquet started, Fei Qian announced that there would be no changes in the various agricultural and commercial matters previously promised to Sichuan and Sichuan in Langzhong, and they would continue to be implemented. These big Sichuan and Sichuan households Immediately, all kinds of rainbow farts were presented in unison, ignoring the increasingly stiff smile on Liu Bei's face who was sitting beside him.

Fei Qian sat in the hall and had a panoramic view of everyone's performance.

Although it was said that Fei Qian would eventually go to Chengdu, these big businessmen from Sichuan and Sichuan were still in a hurry and rushed to Li County. Think about it, if Fei Qian is like Liu Yan and is just a leader in Yizhou, these guys will naturally have to control it to some extent, show some reserve of scholars, and also try to improve their own worth, but the problem is Now Fei Qian is not only in Yizhou, but also in Guanzhong, Hanzhong, and even Jingzhou as a backup talent. If he continues to be reserved, Fei Qian will have to invite three times and five times. In the end, Fei Qian simply transferred other people. If local people serve as Sichuan and Shu officials, wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot?

Therefore, when Fei Qian officially took over Sichuan and Shu, the enthusiasm shown by these big Sichuan and Shu people was naturally much higher than that of Liu Yan or Liu Bei, and their attitudes were also lowered.

Of course, it is not Fei Qian who determines such an attitude, but the related interests behind it.

Historically, Sichuan and Shu welcomed Liu Bei because these people found that Liu Zhang could not play the role of protecting Sichuan and Shu, so they chose Liu Bei. Later, they found that Shu could not protect their interests, so they turned to Wei. Even though At that time, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty had been forced to abdicate, and the fig leaf of the slogans of Han orthodoxy that the wealthy families in Sichuan and Sichuan had clamored for more than ten years was torn off and stuffed back. It did not stop these people from pursuing maximizing interests. .

Then, now, Fei Qian occupies this place. Although these people seem to be happy and complacent in front of them, if one day these people find that Fei Qian cannot stop any foreign enemies, I am afraid that most of them will immediately fall to him. Go to the foreign enemy...

Human nature is like this, so throughout the ages and in every dynasty, they have praised those who are loyal and upright. Just imagine, if everyone has noble moral character, then why set an example?

After three rounds of drinking, Fei Qian came down from the top position with the wine in his hand. Huang Xu followed behind, and also brought a bodyguard with wine, one by one to meet and talk with the Sichuan and Sichuan wealthy people attending the banquet today. .

Wu Yi was also following Fei Qian. When he met someone Fei Qian didn't recognize, he introduced them to him. As he walked, he came to a person.

Now one person is Qiao Bing.

This person is wearing a brocade robe and a silk scarf, but no ribbon, indicating that he is only a country squire but has no official position. But in today's situation where most people are in official positions, the fact that this person has a place and is quite high up shows some problems.

"I am Qiao Bing, and I have met General Zhengxi." Qiao Bing bowed his hands in greeting, his attitude was neither arrogant nor humble, and with his three long beards fluttering, he had an upright appearance, which would not offend people.

Qiao and?

Fei Qian seemed to have a vague impression, but he couldn't remember it for a while. After all, although he had read information about Sichuan and Shu people before, there were too many people, and the space on the wooden slip was limited. Naturally, it was concise and comprehensive, and as information Most of the focus is on the governors and generals in various places. For the idle people in society, there is naturally insufficient space and not much attention is paid.

Wu Yi's eyes were sharp and he looked at Fei Qian who seemed to be a little slow. He immediately added: "Qiao Rong first studied under Dong Shipi and got his true biography. With a beautiful mind, he opened a Confucian classics school in Chengdu. Now he knows the general Come, come all the way..."

Dong Shipi, who is it?

Oh, I remembered it.

During the Han Dynasty in Shu, there were many great scholars in Confucian classics, such as Sima Xiangru, Yang Xiong, etc., whose status in their respective fields was supreme. And the academic achievements of Shu are also brilliant. "Eighteen people including Junshi Zhang Shu and other scholars studied under Dr. Dongyi. They received the Seven Classics and taught them in return. There are many apprentices, and the scholarship of Shu is better than that of Qilu."

However, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the academic atmosphere in Sichuan and Sichuan gradually turned into mysticism, and things above Confucian classics gradually declined. Instead, they preferred to engage in auspicious things, prophecies and the like, among which the most classic The representative figure is Dong Fu.

Dong Fu is quite interesting. This guy was originally from Mianzhu. He went to Luoyang to study when he was young, and then he also gained some fame. Then he returned home and began to teach, and his disciples came from far away. There were a total of ten common prefectures and counties before and after, and there were also three levies on the bus. He was also cited as a virtuous and upright man, a doctor, a wise man, etc., and they all praised Dong Fu's illness. Finally, the general He Jin heard about Dong Fu's reputation, so he When asked to worship the attendants, Dong Fucai reluctantly agreed.

Is it the first time, the price will always be higher...

As a result, after Dong Fu arrived at Luoyang, he saw that the momentum was not right. Although the general He Jin had a high position, he had no means and was not a good master. He immediately found an opportunity to instigate the then Taichang Liu Yandao: "The capital is about to be in chaos. It is beneficial to The state divisions have the spirit of an emperor."

Liu Yan himself was also ambitious, so he immediately changed his name to Jiaozhou and asked for the post of Yizhou Mu. Dong Fu then became the captain of the vassal state of Shu County and entered Shu with him. Later, when he saw that Liu Yan and the Sichuan and Shu gentry had fallen out, he didn't want to be blamed by either side anymore, so he used the excuse of Emperor Ling's death to mourn for the emperor, resigned from office and returned home, gaining a lot of fame...

So this Qiao Bing, as a disciple of Dong Fu, in other words represents the wave of Confucian leaders of Dong Fu in Sichuan? As for Dong Fu’s son? Dong Fu's son Na Yu Yan had no talent, so Qiao Bin was still the representative of his inheritance and the representative of Sichuan Confucian classics...

It seemed that at that moment, Fei Qian felt that everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on him intentionally or unintentionally, and even the sound of laughter and drinking seemed to be muted for a moment.

Everyone is watching...

"The world is in strife, and the scriptures in various places are often destroyed by wars and fires. I often sigh, and my heart is not at ease. Now I can hear that Rong Shi has inherited Dong Gong's true biography and used the essence of the scriptures to spread education and enlighten the people's wisdom. This is really a blessing to the country... ..." Fei Qian's eyes moved slightly, and he turned around and handed the wine cup in his hand to Huang Xu, then turned around and said loudly, "On behalf of the disciples from Sichuan and the students all over the world, let me thank Rong Shi for his virtue in teaching the scriptures!" After saying this, , Su Rong bowed towards Qiao and bowed his hands.

Qiao Bing was startled and quickly stepped forward to help Fei Qian up. He lifted up his robe, lay on the ground and returned a gift to Fei Qian. He also said loudly: "I have learned the saint's scriptures and should follow the saint's teachings." I mean, this is your duty, I really don’t dare to accept the general’s gift!”

Fei Qian also hurriedly stepped forward and helped Qiao Bing up. The two looked at each other and smiled, and the arms they held together seemed to be very excited and strong...

Immediately, the melon-eating crowd nearby burst into loud praises, saying that they had witnessed a cultural event in which the monarch and his ministers complement each other. They also praised the general Fei Qian of the Western Conquest for being of noble birth, paying attention to scriptures and education, and being different from those who only know how to kill. The country bumpkin warlords and inferior sluts who were killed are completely different. On the one hand, I am very proud to say that I also have some capable people and things in Sichuan and Shu, and they will not be any worse than those in Guanzhong and Hanzhong...

In such an enthusiastic atmosphere, Fei Qian immediately said that in order to respect Qiao Bin's wishes and to promote the inheritance of Sichuan and Sichuan scriptures, Shoushan Academy happened to be carrying out a second-generation Xiping Stone Scripture project and invited Qiao Bin as a special Sichuan and Sichuan scripture. If you are a consultant and participate in the revision work, you will definitely leave your name in history, and you will leave a strong mark on the history of Han culture.

Qiao Bing almost immediately expressed his willingness to dedicate his meager efforts to the great cause of inheriting the scriptures of the Han Dynasty.

Then everyone is happy.

Well, at least on the surface it looks like everyone is happy...
