After the dance, two more riders galloped out of the field, about to engage in a duel.
One of them was a fierce general discovered by Jin Zhun during his western expedition, named "Pingxian". His ethnic origin was unknown, and he only lived with Tugehu from Huangshigu, Anding County (in today's Pengyang County).
He was of low origin and made a living by herding. He was illiterate, but he was skilled in bow and horse and even better at riding and fighting. He was a famous warrior in the tribe.
Sixty-seven years ago, Jin Zhun followed Liu Can, who was still the prince at the time, on the westward expedition to Lu Songduo and discovered this person - Lu Songduo, one of the leaders of the Huangshi Tu tribe. He lived between Xinping and Anding. Although they were both Xiongnu, they were related to Bingzhou.
The Tuge Liu family was not from the same group, so he took the body of a Huns and attached himself to the King of Jin to fight with the Tuge Liu family.
Pingxian once fought with Chen An.
The latter was also a fierce general who first served Sima Bao, then defected to the Xiongnu, and then rebelled against the Xiongnu and became independent.
Chen An was an outstanding warrior. He held a sword in his left hand and a spear in his right hand. When he was close, he fired his sword and spear, killing five or six people at every turn. When he was far away, he galloped and fired his bow from both sides. It was difficult for ordinary people to get close.
Ping first fought with him and fought three times to seize his spear. It was raining heavily and it was getting dark. Chen An abandoned his horse and fled, but was not captured by Mr. Ping.
The one fighting Pingxian at this moment was Jin Yu, a descendant of the Hu Jin family in Anding Xiutu. His family could be traced back to Jin Rixi.
After the Hu Lu clan of Tu Ge moved to Xinping, the Hu Jin clan of Xiu Tu occupied Huangshigu, where they farmed and farmed. They sent two thousand troops this time, which was quite obedient.
Pingxian raised his horse and waved, asking Liang Aguang, another leader's son of Xiutu Hu, who was sitting behind Jin Yu, to come up with him.
Aguang was angry and got on his horse.
Although this person's surname was Liang, he was not a descendant of the Anding Liang family, but a Xiutu Hu living in Xichuan (Xichuan County, Han Dynasty, today's Zhengning County, Qingyang City).
The first was Liang Yuanbi, who was attached during the reign of Cao Wei. Guo Huai made a report and appointed Yuanbi as the captain of Xichuan.
Up to this day, Xichuan County has long since been abolished, and the Xichuan Captain is only in name only, so the Liang family is just a chieftain.
Historically, A Guang had a descendant named Liang Guoer, who was also an abstract person.
He had built his own tomb (Shou Tomb) a long time ago, and would go to the tomb with his wife and concubines to have a banquet if they had nothing to do - he might also be doing other things in the tomb - "drinking heavily, singing on the funeral bed."
At that time, many people ridiculed him, but the country's children did not take it seriously.
He repeatedly achieved great success in the southern and northern campaigns, and Yao Xing made him the general who controlled the north and made him the leader of the army.
Just like Cao Pi, who would drink and sing in the tomb from time to time, lived to be more than eighty years old, and the grass on the grave was probably too old to die...
It's a pity that Liang Aguang was not so fierce and too young. As soon as he entered the battle, he was swept to the ground by Ma Shan. After he got up dizzy, he saw that Jin Yu had been captured by Mr. Ping - Xiu Tu Hu's "double pride" unexpectedly
They both lost.
After watching the three-person battle, Jin Zhun nodded secretly. Pingxian had not given up his martial arts skills and regarded him as the most powerful general under his command.
He quickly turned his head and looked at the main seat.
The King of Liang was also attracted by the three-person battle. He rewarded one of his concubines on the spot and gave him ten pieces of gold and silverware, but did not give him an official position. This comforted Jin Zhun: After all, the King of Liang was still particular about people.
but--
Jin Zhun picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Prince Liang casually said something to Jin Yuehua. She covered her mouth and smiled, and kept urging her to drink.
Jin Zhun had no one to pour the wine for him, so he poured half the bowl himself and drank it all in one gulp.
In a daze, King Liang stood up and said: "I am a scholar from the East China Sea, working hard on the waterfront. I plant millet in spring, weave mats in summer, mow wheat in autumn, and practice in the middle of winter."
The table fell silent, and everyone, including Jin Zhun, listened to his words silently.
Shao Xun walked slowly for two steps, smiled slightly, and said: "He eats rough rice, wears linen and brown clothes, works all day long, and is covered with star frost."
Having said this, he pointed to the female musicians on both sides and said: "There is no sound of orchestral silk and bamboo."
Then he turned around, looked at Jin Yuehua, and said, "There is no such thing as a beautiful wife."
There was a burst of low laughter during the dinner.
Jin Zhun's face darkened and he searched to see who it was.
"This is to maintain poverty, but not to lose the way of peace and happiness." Shao Xun's voice continued: "However, the country is dominated by traitors and sycophants, the government is increasingly disordered, kings are fighting, thieves are rampant, and there is not an inch of pure land in the world."
"So the King of the East China Sea recruited me to join the army and went to Luoyang. At that time, I couldn't see the way forward, so I only taught the young men in the camp and defeated the bandits in Luojing. First, I beheaded the general at Kaiyangmen, and then I was captured by Taiji Palace.
As a result of the king's move, the king of Donghai rewarded me for being filial and honest, and finally I became an official and became the eighth-rank lieutenant Sima."
"The news is spread back to the village, and the clan celebrates. After I kill the rebels, the world may be at peace. In this way, I can build a monastery in the village, shelter the villagers, manage the property, marry a good wife, and live a happy life like this, how beautiful!"
Many people had smiles on their faces.
Not to mention Liang Wang's disguise, even if he is born rebellious, he is not sure how far he can go.
He risked his life in exchange for the official position of Lieutenant Sima of the East China Sea. This was a change of fate. If the world was really peaceful at this time, King Liang would return to live in the East China Sea and make a lot of money.
As he said, eighth-grade officials are qualified to occupy land, protect clan patrons, and command troops. They are definitely the number one figures in the East China Sea, just like the status of chiefs like them in various counties, or even higher.
"However -" Shao Xun suddenly changed his subject and sat back down.
Jin Yuehua looked at him with a pair of wonderful eyes, and after a while of brewing his emotions, with the feeling of a child admiring a hero, she poured him some wine with her delicate hands.
Shao Xun picked up the wine bowl, pondered for a moment, and said: "My ambition has not been fulfilled, and my justice has not been achieved. What a pity!"
"The three kings of Chengdu, Hejian, and Donghai are still fighting, and Jisang and Shile are in chaos again in Hebei."
"Liu Yuan gathered the crowd and left the stone, and Bogen started in Qingzhou. The Shangdang Jie family was not at peace, and the Qiang and barbarians in Qinzhou were in chaos again."
"Luo Jing fought several battles, and Chang'an was devastated."
"When there is a severe drought, migratory locusts will appear together, and the people will exchange their children for food, and the bones of Li Yuan will be exposed in the wild."
Shao Xun picked up the wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and said: "The sky is long, how can I be so poor as a Li person? What a pain!"
After sighing, he stood up again, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said: "Even ordinary people are responsible for the rise and fall of the world."
"Gu Sui raised his troops. Under the city of Luoyang, they destroyed the Huns' formation; on the Zima embankment, they slaughtered their entire armies."
"In the attack on Hanoi, Liu Ya lost his dogs and sheep in the treacherous road, and was left alone in a corner of the country."
"In the attack on Yecheng, Shi Le lost his wife to Tongque, and was alone thousands of miles away."
"In the battle of Shangdang, Liu Yao burned his body on the tower and was left alone with the key."
"The Russians attacked together on several fronts, swept the left country, flew east of the river, fought hard for several months, and finally overthrew the bandits' nest."
"Bi Shi was isolated among the pavilions of Ningshuo Palace, looking up at the sky and looking down at the people, and suddenly realized the fate of destiny."
As soon as these words came out, people with low education were confused and ignorant, but Jin Zhun looked at Shao Xun quietly.
Is this the first time that he has made it clear in public that he wants to change the government?
This person's hobbies are somewhat similar to Cao Mengde's, but his temperament is completely different. Some things he says are straightforward and not secretive.
Of course, others are convinced by his illustrious military exploits.
"However -" Shao Xun suddenly took another turn.
"There have been floods year after year, disasters have continued, Li and Yuan have been killed, and the common people are mourning."
"At that time, Tuoba Xianbei invaded in the north, and Sima tyrants harassed in the south. The people had no food and clothing, and the scholars were frightened and at a loss. They walked alone on the ice and faced the abyss, fighting fearfully. After learning from the pain, I learned to face the difficulties and live towards death."
"The northern expedition to Pingcheng finally won a great victory. The southern expedition to build Ye defeated his bold strategy."
"Then they drove the powerful cavalry from the Yin Mountains, unified the heroes of the Central Xia Dynasty, fought bravely in the suburbs, and broke into the Guanzhong. Wherever they went, the chiefs won the food and followed them, and the fathers and old men were eating in the pots of pulp, so they held the head of the evil canal and arrived
Without fighting, we will be where we are today."
"It has been twenty and four years since I came to Luoyang."
After saying that, he lowered his head and thought, as if he was remembering.
There was silence for a while.
Some people only know about the rise of King Liang in Guandong, but don’t know how he rose up. When they heard this, they were immediately impressed.
The scene at that time was really chaotic. If you are not careful, at least the northern land will fall into endless attacks.
The Hu and Xia clans have deep grudges.
The kings and nobles competed for power and profit.
Fang Bo, generals, and officials are all alike.
Scholars, common people, and civilians are constantly attacking.
King Liang was born out of nowhere and brought back the world that was falling into the abyss. What a great achievement this was?
The icing on the cake can be done by ministers who govern the world.
Only a true hero in troubled times can turn the tide.
"I felt something for a moment and expressed my feelings directly, which made everyone laugh." Shao Xun raised his head, smiled slightly, and returned to his seat.
Jin Yuehua poured wine again, her eyes watery.
This is half true and half false.
She is from the Huns, and is different from the Han daughter. She loves heroes more.
Liu Can inherited the inheritance from his father and ancestors, but in the end his country was ruined and he died. He was not a hero.
The king of Liang was a real hero when his soldiers were relieved, he fought hard and fought hard, and was on the verge of defeating the world.
"Here, drink up this cup." Shao Xun picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile.
"Drink this cup to the full." Everyone responded and drank it all in one gulp.
"The great king is powerful in the world and rules all directions." As soon as Shao Xun put down his wine bowl, Yao Yizhong stood up and said loudly: "Although I am ignorant, I still know that my destiny has been fulfilled, and the divine weapon is suitable. Now I can ascend to the throne of the emperor.
To put people’s minds at ease.”
"Yes, your Majesty." Pu Hong cursed secretly, stood up for the second time, and said: "If the king does not advance to the throne, the people of the world will not be able to feel at ease."
"Your Majesty..." One after another, people stood up, their faces full of excitement.
"Hey! It's passed, it's passed." Shao Xun waved his hand and said: "I'm calling you all to come here. I'm going to reward you based on your merits. There's nothing left to do."
"Your Majesty." Zhang Bin, the military counselor, added: "I know that your Majesty's ambition is to smooth the four directions and bring peace. However, the Lord of Jin is weak, how can he rule all directions? I ask your Majesty not to care about slander, and to abandon selfishness.
Live for the people and ascend to the throne of the emperor. In this way, the scholars and the people will be happy, and both barbarians and Xia will be at peace."
"Oh, you guys are really——" Shao Xun shook his head and laughed, and said: "Don't mention this matter again, let's drink."
The banquet ended late at night.
After the meeting, Shao Xun went to Jianzhang Hall to rest, and sent someone to take Jin Yuehua to the harem, where he was treated with courtesy throughout.
After Jin Zhun found out, he couldn't explain his inner thoughts clearly.
He seemed to think that the "Emperor" King Liang was much better than Liu Can, so he decided to find an opportunity to ask his daughter.
On the 26th, Shao Xun summoned the black scorpions, silver spears, righteous followers, and generals of the army to have a banquet. He rewarded the concubines, palace servants, female musicians, money, and countless utensils, and promoted some people to official positions.
Also on this day, Shan Liang, Xu Chu Yiyu, Yao Lan, Jin Yu, Liang Aguang, Pu Hou (Pu Hong's younger brother), Peng Si'an (Peng Tianhu's younger brother), Gou Dian (Gou Tou's family from Di, Lueyang, the former
The Empress Dowager Qin Gou's family) and dozens of young descendants of the chieftains each led their personal entourage, ranging from hundreds to hundreds, to form an army of about 5,000 people, and went to Shao Xun's tent to listen to orders.
Shao Xun had long seen that the fighting style of the Hu tribes in Guanzhong was somewhat similar to that of the Ming army in later generations, and they all relied on their "servants" to attack.
I will take away five thousand of your "housekeepers" now, serve as officials for the nobles' children, pay the servants, bring their families back to Guandong, and slowly concoct it.
Of course, these chieftains' children are also willing.
When has it been? King Liang will soon be emperor.
This is a chance for you, if you don't seize it, you will be like this for the rest of your life, wandering around in the mountains until you die.
In the future, you will meet a young playmate who has returned from Kanto to Kansai to serve as an official. Will you be ashamed? Are you embarrassed to meet him?
There are some things that Liu Can does one way and Shao Xun does another.
Liu Can may not be wrong, and Shao Xun may not be right.
