Three Kingdoms

In the heavy snowfall, after the banquet was over, they dispersed in twos and threes.

Qiao Bing was slightly drunk and swayed.

"Mr. Qiao! Congratulations, congratulations..." A man walked by from the side, raised his hands towards Qiao and said, "Today I have to pay tribute to Zheng Xi, and soon everyone will hear about it! Congratulations, congratulations..."

Qiao shook his head, as if he was drunk and confused, and said: "Ah? Ah... you are, who are you?"

"Someone..." Lai Min laughed twice, waved his hand and said, "Qiao Gong should go and rest first..."

"Oh... rest, yes, rest..." Qiao Bing giggled twice and waddled away.

This Lai Min did not leave immediately, but stood in the corridor and laughed twice. He didn't know whether he was laughing at Qiao Bing's drunken state or something else. After half a moment, Fang Qing He gently waved his sleeves and walked away from the other direction.

Qiao Bing staggered on the mule cart and arrived at her temporary residence. After getting off the cart, after entering the courtyard gate, her footsteps gradually became calmer, and the expression on her face changed from a drunken look of dementia to His face became gloomy and he muttered in a low voice, "Lai's crazy man, you are telling lies! You have gained nothing, how dare you laugh at me?"

After being served by the attendants, he entered the hall and took off the big cloak that covered the snow. Qiao Jing relaxed himself and sat down.

"Mr. Lang...but do you want to serve some sour soup to sober up the hangover?" A close servant on the side said cautiously, "...we still need to rest first..."

"Let's get some sour soup first." Qiao took the hot towel, wiped it on his face, and carefully wiped away some wine, vegetable soup, etc. stained on the three strands of beard, and then poured it on the servant Under the service of his wife, he changed his clothes and returned to the hall again, looking at the heavy snow falling below the hall in trance.

Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West, what does this mean?

Although General Zhengxi seemed to be very respectful and respected, did he actually give Qiao Bing any real benefits?

No, in addition to the so-called Xingjiaohua and Kaiminzhi, he is just a so-called bullshit consultant from the second generation of Xiping Shijing of Shoushan Academy...

Qiao did not hesitate to work hard to come to Qixian County in the heavy snow. Is it just to seek a so-called ghost position as a consultant to the Shoushan Academy?

Shou Shan is so far away from Bingbei, how would that fool happily run all the way from Sichuan and Sichuan to Bingbei, a place he is unfamiliar with?

Therefore, regardless of how beautifully General Fei Qian of Zhengxi said it, in fact it was just like drawing a big cake. If Qiao Bing really tried to eat it, he would probably not only not be able to eat it, but also knock out half of his teeth.

Could it be that General Zhengxi hates him?

No reason!

Didn’t General Zhengxi get his start by offering auspicious gifts? General Zhengxi should be clear about the things in this business. Didn't he come here specially to express his willingness to build momentum for General Zhengxi?

Did Liu Yan believe in the so-called "emperor spirit" back then? Most of them are just using each other, and General Zhengxi means that there is no need for this aspect?

This is really...

My master Dong Fu was able to refuse ten and three conquests. Is it because the conquests were all crooked and crooked? What kind of officials could be given to the governor of a county and a county to conscript them? It’s six hundred stones if it reaches the sky!

When the general He Jin came to conquer, he would start with a thousand stones!

Can this be the same?

Therefore, whether Liu Zhang was in Chengdu or Liu Bei came to Sichuan, Qiao did not show anything, and was even a little indifferent and aloof. However, when General Fei Qian came to Sichuan and Shu and determined the ownership of Sichuan and Shu in general, Qiao And naturally my face warmed up and I put it on...

From Longyou to Hangu, from Bingbei to Sichuan and Shu, the land of Zhengxi now spans the east and west, and covers the north and south. It would be a bit exaggerated to say that Zhengxi controls half of the Han Dynasty, but it covers one-third. It's no lie at all. How come such a powerful figure is not worthy of such a high stake?

The result was a hit in the nose.

"How can there be so much snow in this season..." A trusted servant came in with a lacquer tray and a bowl of steaming sour soup, and said, "Lang Jun, when I saw the cold wind and freezing weather, I asked the chef to Adding more ginger to cooking will help relieve the cold..."

"Well..." Qiao Bing nodded, took the sour soup, and took a sip. The hot and sour taste immediately warmed his stomach directly from his throat. He couldn't help but sigh happily, nodded and praised, "Ha ...This soup is good..."

The confidant immediately beamed with joy and said, "Mr. Lang thinks it's good, it's the villain's blessing..." After saying that, he was ready to leave first.

"Wait..." Qiao Ting suddenly felt something in his heart, "What did you just say?"

"Huh? The blessing of a villain?" The trusted servant didn't know what was going on and answered blankly.

"That's not it..." Qiao He frowned, "What did you say in front of me?"

"It's snowing and windy, so I asked the cook to add some more ginger...More on, there's nothing more to say..."

The confidant never thought very accurately, but Qiao Bing recalled it, smiled, and said: "Well, I remembered it, it's okay, you can step back first..."

The trusted servant blinked, not daring to say anything more, nodded quickly, took a few steps back, and left the hall.

Qiao Bing raised his head and looked at the falling snow outside the hall. After a while, he sighed: "It's the season, but the season is wrong... I came a little early... Alas, I never thought that this... this Zhuzi, actually What a big thought..."

………… Notes in this chapter…………

It's snowing heavily.

After Fei Qian broke up the banquet, he quietly sent someone to call Li Ren, who was about to leave, to the side hall, and asked his men to serve some hot towels to heat the soup. Then he asked Li Ren to sit down and covered the hot towels with him. On the face, steam opens the pores, distributes some alcohol smell, and makes the mind clearer.

Although the alcohol content of ancient corn wine is not high, you will still get drunk if you drink too much, especially warm rice wine, which has a strong stamina, so why not take advantage of the fact that you are still a little awake and arrange things first, and then wait until After waking up, I'm afraid I've been delayed for another day.

"The ancient sages were many loyal and brave men. Qian once heard that Lieutenant Li of Hanzhong punished corruption, corrected discipline, had the courage to do his job, and was loyal to the country. It is said that the father refused to establish an emperor and the son refused to establish a king. The whole world heard about it... ..." Fei Qian put down the face towel that had lost its heat, picked up the hot soup, and while asking Li Ren to drink the soup, he said, "Now that I have seen the virtuous man, he has good writing and instruments, and his mind is quick and intelligent. I know that the Li family has a lot of knowledge. It is thick and has a long history... Today, Sichuan and Shu are all in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. I wonder if the virtuous and virtuous people are willing to serve as officials to find a pure land and peace for the people of Sichuan and Shu?"

Li Ren is the descendant of the Li family in Hanzhong.

The Li family in Hanzhong originally produced two San Gongs, but it was a pity...

During the reign of Emperor He of the Han Dynasty, Li He of Hanzhong was initially a household officer in Hanzhong, and was later gradually promoted to Shangshu Ling, Taichang, Sikong, and Situ. However, his son Li Gu, who was well versed in ancient and modern times and knowledgeable at a young age, was repeatedly rejected. Life. Later, he was appointed as a minister by General Liang Ji, and later served as the governor of Jingzhou and the prefect of Taishan. He successfully quelled the rebellions in the two places. After that, he often made suggestions to the court. He successively served as a general, a great craftsman, a great farmer, and a Taiwei. After the death of Emperor Shun, he was relied upon by Empress Liang, but was hated by Liang Ji. After the death of Emperor Zhi, he argued with Liang Ji and refused to make Liu Zhi emperor, and was eventually killed by Liang Ji.

Two of Li Gu's three sons were also killed by Liang Ji. Only the youngest son Li Xie escaped the disaster and later became anonymous. He did not return to his hometown until the fall of Liang Ji. However, by that time, the Li family in Hanzhong was already much worse than before. Xie himself was also in poor health while wandering. In the end, he was only appointed to Yin, Henan Province, where he died of illness.

Later, when Liangyong was unstable and rebellions were frequent, the Li family migrated to central Sichuan along with many people at that time, settled in Fu County, and became a member of the mighty Dongzhou Gang that entered Sichuan at that time. Li Ren is one of the people who moved to Hanzhong...

Regardless of whether it was Liu Yan, Liu Zhang, or Liu Bei later, the government jurisdiction model in Sichuan and Shu was almost the same. The traditional small-scale farmer system of the Han Dynasty was adopted, or called a small natural economy. Government affairs basically relied on local governments. The large households and powerful people, and even the military and security in some places were also given away.

Of course, this approach saves trouble to a certain extent, but it actually gives up a lot of authority. Now, it is Fei Qian's turn to have a headache.

The first thing to do is naturally to gather military power.

To gain military power, one must also be artistic...

Fei Qian's artistry lies in spending money, bah, setting a super high entry threshold so that these big Sichuan dogs cannot easily cross it.

The first threshold is to divest the Dongzhou system.

And what kind of person to choose is naturally the key. Fei Qian chose Li Ren.

The original leader of Dongzhou was Pang Xi, but he later fell into the hands of Wu Yi. For Fei Qian, neither Pang Xi nor Wu Yi was the best candidate, but Li Ren was much better. .

At the same time, although the Li family was extremely glorious before, it has now declined, and Li Ren is in urgent need of a ladder...

On the other hand, Li Ren once studied with Sima Decao for a period of time. From a certain perspective, he had a little relationship with Fei Qian himself.

Asking Li Ren to come forward to win over the people in Dongzhou is naturally much easier to control than Wu Yi and Liu Bei...

Seeing Fei Qian's sincere words, Li Ren almost immediately fell to the ground and called him lord, with tears filling his eyes with excitement. Of course, it is unclear whether the tears were caused by Fei Qian's affirmation, excitement by having to taste his heart's wish, or both.

Li Ren immediately recommended another person to Fei Qian as his deputy, named Yin Mo. He was very talented and his nickname was Si Qian...

Well, is this...

Fei Qian blinked, as if he felt something was not quite right.

Li Ren was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "Ah, I made a mistake. Yin Mo's character is actually Si Xian..." Well, there seems to be something wrong with this, forget it, let's leave it at that...

…………………………………………

Wu Yi and Liu Bei sat opposite each other, staring blankly at the falling snow outside the hall.

"I have left in the past, and the willows are still there.

"Now that I'm thinking about it, it's raining and snowing.

"The journey is delayed, and the thirst and hunger..."

Wu Yi looked at the heavy snow and groaned softly, then let out a long sigh, remained silent for a long time, and finally said, "This year, there is so much snow..."

After Liu Bei heard this, he seemed to be so stiff from the cold that he moved his sitting posture a little. After a moment of silence, he also said: "Yes, the wind and snow are like this, what can I do..."

Wu Yi looked at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also turned to look at Wu Yi. The two people's eyes made contact. It seemed that at that moment, they had some understanding and a little tacit understanding, but soon the two people's Their eyes immediately parted again, and each of them refocused their gazes on the wind and snow.

Although the two people had some differences before, but now, the fundamental points of these differences have disappeared, and the two people seem to have found a way to integrate and cooperate with each other again, phew, a way.

Wu Yi could see that Liu Bei still had no intention of giving up. For his cheap brother-in-law, if he really gave up, he would not surrender. He would only strike with anger and beg for mercy. Now he has to compromise and beg for mercy, but like It was just the same as what he did before when Cao Cao and Liu Biao were there.

But the problem is, Wu Yi can see it, can't Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, see it?

Even if General Zhengxi couldn't see it, there were still many wise and far-sighted people under Zhengxi's banner. How could they give Liu Bei any chance?

Wu Yi didn't know, or in other words, he felt very lost, as if the courtyard in front of him was covered by wind and snow, and all its vitality had been wiped out...

Liu Bei thought differently from Wu Yi. Although he said that there was nothing he could do about it, Liu Bei never gave up or gave up. Back then, he was able to sneak out from one big boss after another, and then the more he walked, the higher his position. This time he reached the level of Zheng It's not necessarily all bad things under Xixia. At least, there is hope...

"The Governor of Chengdu..." Wu Yi said suddenly.

Liu Bei responded: "With the intention of conquering the west, I will use Dong and Dong Youzai..."

"Mianzhu..."

Liu Bei's stay on the west side of the expedition was not in vain. Naturally, he knew some basic personnel appointment news earlier than Wu Yi, so he replied: "Xu Wen retired..."

"Then Fei Gongju..." Wu Yi said again.

"Moved to work as the warden of the General's Mansion to Conquer the West..." Liu Bei said.

Wu Yi was silent for a moment and then said: "Li Hui and Li De'ang?"

"He entered the prefecture of Jianning to assume the responsibility of pacifying and educating the southern barbarians..."

Liu Bei raised his head and watched as a snowflake blew into the hall, landed on the wooden board, and then slowly turned into a round drop of water, disappearing on the floor, leaving only a mark, not bothering Wu Yi. Asked one by one, Gulu told them all at once. Anyway, these things have been basically determined. Many appointment letters have been signed, and some people have even taken office. There are no secrets, but Wu Yi has just come into contact here. Conquering the West, so some things are not as well understood as Liu Bei.

"In addition, Jin Huangjie was appointed as the prefect of Brazil, Zhao was appointed as the captain of the vassal state, Lei was appointed as the governor of Langzhong, Pifazhengfa Xiaozhi was appointed as the prefect of Guanghan, Qin and Peng were appointed as the doctor's sacrifice, and Lu, Du and Liu were appointed as the governor. The captain of the military school is stationed in Nanchong... There are also some people who were originally from Hanzhong and Guanzhong to dispatch, but the preparation is unknown..."

Wu Yi was silent for a while, sighed faintly, raised his head and said: "This wind and snow is so heavy..."

"The wind and snow will eventually end, and the spring green will come back again..." Liu Bei smiled slightly, "Brother Wu, if you look at it, you can also appreciate the beauty of the wind and snow..."

"maybe……"
