This is what Zhang Chong and Zhang Dan asked at the same time, but their reasons are different.
Zhang Chong heard about this person in his previous life.
It is said that Cao Cao and Lu Bu fought for Yanzhou and were inseparable. Lu Bu's army was short of food, so he went everywhere to collect food.
But in Chengshi, he was defeated by Li Jin.
Even considering the lack of food in Lu Bu's army, the overall combat effectiveness may be insufficient.
But no matter how small it is, there is still no problem in supplying a few elites in the army.
And how brave will Lu Bu be with a small number of elites?
He had taken refuge with Yuan Shao before and fought for Yuan Shao against the Black Mountain Bandits.
He is so ruthless.
He took his close friends Cheng Lian, Wei Yue and more than 20 warriors to charge back and forth every day, killing a captain or a thief.
At that time, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain bandits had more than ten thousand elite soldiers and thousands of cavalry, and they also dominated Hebei.
However, Lu Bu repeatedly charged and killed him and defeated him, and his army collapsed.
Lü Bu is so brave, and Li Jin can defeat his army alone. This shows that his bravery is not inferior to Lü Bu, and he is also a tiger in the world.
Zhang Chong has a past life, but why does Zhang Dan ask this question?
It turns out that although he is usually a trumpeter, he is a well-known man from all over the world. He does not have the qualifications of Mengchangjun, but he has the spirit of Mengchangjun. He has always been interested in the secrets of knights and knights, so it is best to inquire about these.
Whether it is the previous Zang Ba or this Li Jin, they are both true heroes and extravagant figures in their ranger circles.
It is said that this Li Jin had a white and red lacquer gun with two fine steel blades.
Once while visiting friends, he encountered dozens of thieves on the road. Li Jin fought vigorously, killing several people at every turn.
Seeing that he was defeated, the bandit leader was about to retreat when Li Jin caught up with him and scratched his neck, causing his head to fall apart.
The remaining thieves were frightened and scattered away.
From then on, everyone knew that Li Jin, Li Jinxian of the Yanzhou Cheng family.
Before Zhang Chong and the others could think any further, Na Chong had already docked with Captain Han's tribute boat.
Although Zhang Chong and the others were far away, they could still clearly see the man at the bow of the ship, Li Jin, who jumped onto the tribute ship in a few steps.
I don’t know what he said, but not long after, Li Jin jumped back to Fuchong vigorously like an ape.
Afterwards, the ship struck the ship's flag and let it take the lead, and everyone returned together.
Zhang Chong and the others could only follow the fleet, heading all the way towards Chengshi.
————————————————
At this time, the ship rushed to the ship
"Uncle, what are you talking about with that guy surnamed Han? It seems like he has lost his military mate."
The speaker was a young man with a stubble, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a capable appearance.
This person is Li Jin's nephew, Li Dian.
The leader of the next generation of the Li family is not very old, but he is already proficient in bow and horse. This time, he was recruited to serve as a small army under Li Jin for the sake of experience.
The outside world's understanding of Li Jin is that he is a tiger in the world and a brave general who is invincible. But in fact, Li Jin is a sallow-looking man who coughs from time to time.
At this time, he was no longer as cunning as he had been when he had just joined the gang. Instead, he was wrapped in a big cloak and curled up on the bed.
When he heard Li Dian ask this, he was also stunned:
"He even threw away his military mate? We didn't have a very good conversation before.
What I am saying is that in order to find out this matter, I hope his team can dock at Chengshi and cooperate with the investigation.
Then he said yes. So, I thought this guy was pretty neat."
Li Dian stroked his forehead and sighed:
"Uncle, you are so cruel, who would dare to say no in front of you. But he will definitely not accept your request to Han Kuang.
He is the chief of guard of the Jibei Kingdom. He is usually a guard of the Dian army and a retinue. This time he has come to escort the tribute ship, which shows how important this trip is.
Now you want to seize his boat and let him go ashore. You said you want to cooperate with the investigation, but what will others think?
Moreover, the King of Jibei has always been close to the eunuchs. At that time, the Chang servants Hou Lan and Duan Gui purchased land in Jibei Kingdom, and their servants and guests invaded and plundered the people.
At that time, Teng Yan, the Prime Minister of Jibei, took them into custody, executed them all, and hung their bodies by the road to humiliate the two families of Marquis and Duan.
The King of Jibei had always been at odds with Teng Yan, and the memorials given by Hou Lan to retaliate against Teng Yan were all given by the King of Jibei.
Since then, the King of Jibei has been close to the eunuchs and is deeply suspicious of us Yanzhou powerful men.
Therefore, I think this matter will continue to happen again, so Han Kuang is not a good person."
At this time, Li Jin suddenly stood up, kicked the bed away, pointed his halberd in the direction of Han Kuang, and shouted:
"Isn't it a good idea? Grandpa is just trying to create this kind of thing.
Do you really want to investigate the case? We are just patrolling the township, and we are not the captain of Jiyin County. We are responsible for the case.
I just want to avenge my private revenge and vent my private anger.
The helpless Zhongchang servant Duan Gui is a man from Jiyin who specializes in tyrannizing his hometown.
Your Nagu brother was just walking on the road when he was robbed by this family and used as a homestead.
Just because his name is the same as someone else's, should he die?
What's the use of killing more guests of the Duan family?
At that time, I wanted to prepare weapons secretly, enter the forbidden area, and assassinate that dog.
If your clan father hadn't said something: He had to bear the humiliation and bear the burden for the sake of the family and save it for the future. How could he still be alive today?
Now it just so happens that the man surnamed Han said that the water tanker was attacked by water bandits last night. Even if I kill them all, I can still pin the water bandits on their heads.
Let’s make interest on this guy named Han first, and then kill the dog later.”
Li Jin's words immediately confused Li Dian. He had no idea that with just a little time on the ship, his uncle wanted to kill the entire fleet.
That's right, Han Kuang was killed in the name of a thief, so how could the rest of them still be alive?
What a murderous person.
In fact, Li Dian also knew that almost all of them, Yanzhou's powerful men, had a deep hatred for the eunuchs.
It turned out that they just looked down on these small people who were lucky enough to be rich, indulged in arrogance and greed, and violently took over the countryside.
Later, it directly affected the interests of these powerful people.
Those eunuchs, guests, relatives and friends were greedy. After eating the common people boneless, they then set their sights on their homes and fields, and took advantage of the female power of the ten permanent servants to invade the mountains and rivers.
Are those something they can take advantage of?
Among the mountains and swamps of all sizes and the surrounding waters, none of them are powerful enough for them.
Now he actually has his mind set on them.
Not only that, these eunuchs' children also listed in the officialdom of prefectures and counties to seize the quota of filial piety and integrity.
What does this mean?
Originally, under the old system of the Han Dynasty, the children of middle-ranking officials were not allowed to serve as shepherds. However, since the time of Xiaohuan, the eunuchs have become more and more popular, and their children have been appointed as officials.
Among them, the most unacceptable thing for wealthy families like them is for eunuchs to usurp the quota of filial piety and incorruption.
For the sons of powerful men, apart from living in the countryside to raise their hopes and being appointed as vassals by the three princes, the most honest way to advance is to be promoted as filial and honest by the county, become a prostitute, and then be released to the outside world.
This road has always been controlled and managed by wealthy families.
Relying on the clear opinions and opinions of local celebrities, a son of a wealthy family can become famous, and then the county governor can recommend him as a filial and honest man to the court.
After that, the king was expelled to the rank of two thousand stones and became the governor of a county. After that, he recommended the same moral people.
As for why a moral person is either his relatives and friends, or his disciples of the same age.
It can only be said that the people around you are moral people but you don't recommend them. Then why are you talking about selecting and employing talents, and talking about leaving out the talented?
But since that eunuch came to power, no matter who was the fifth or the twelfth prince, he recommended his disciples one after another.
Even if there are no children, he still establishes an heir, inherits the body and passes on the title, or begs from relatives, or buys children to gain access to the market.
It's really a joke. Those who can't be humane still want to be the master and father.
Just like Cao Teng, the great eunuch who supported Emperor Huan in the past, he was the real leader of the eunuch party.
So he raised a fake son, and even the fake son's son, named Cao Cao, was praised as filial and honest.
You know, a large county with more than 200,000 households only has one quota of filial piety and integrity a year, and it is wasted on a villain eunuch.
This really makes wise people sigh.
And because the most prominent eunuchs nowadays are either from Yingchuan or from Shanyang and Jiyin in Yanzhou.
Therefore, these two factions have the deepest grievances. Those party members who are walking in the upright and upright are basically from these places.
Li Dian admired them very much and hated these villains who were dirty in the world, although he was not qualified to be promoted as filial and honest.
But what a benevolent and righteous gentleman hates is what Li Dian hates.
Therefore, although he felt that his uncle was hasty, he did not feel that there was something wrong. On the contrary, he immediately discussed with Li Jin how to kill Han Kuang and the others.
At this time, the atmosphere on the tribute boat where Han Kuang was sitting was also a bit solemn.
Han Kuang would not agree to the ship being seized by Li Jin and others, let alone conduct an investigation at Li Jin's place.
Who knows if you can go in and come back.
He is not a country fool, he knows the relationship between his prince and these local powerful men.
To put it bluntly, it would be ugly if he were not a descendant of the emperor and close to the bloodline of the country.
His prince was robbed and killed by those powerful men pretending to be water bandits.
The reason why he was so nervous was not just because his master had handed some dark information to the eunuch.
It's even more because when the party's control expanded like this, he, the lord, had a hand in it.
About four years ago, my lord went to Luo to attend the Zhengdan Dynasty.
At that time, the country asked the lord what he thought of these party members.
His master was a jerk, so he answered directly:
"Today's struggle begins with the faction, the faction begins with the party members, and the party members begin with Li Ying, Chen Fan, and Wang Chang.
He raised scholars from the imperial college, made friends with students from various counties, and even drove each other to form a party, satirizing the government and corrupting customs.
He said: "Li Yuanli is a model in the world, Chen Zhongju is not afraid of strong opponents, and Wang Shumao is a handsome man in the world."
Funny world! Are there only these three virtuous people in the world? They are just asking for fame and favor, controlling the political affairs, and denying people, just to form cliques and gain selfish interests.
In his party there were Fan Pang and Cen Hao, who were just like grass-roots, with little knowledge of Confucian classics, and simple people living in the countryside, but they did not think about the fate of their rulers and fathers, and they usurped the power of states and counties.
There was even a county proverb at that time: 'Fan Mengbo, the governor of Runan, was the patron of the Nanyang clan, Hua Nuo. Cen Gong, the governor of Nanyang, was filial, and he was a prosperous farmer, but he sat down and whistled.'
Zong Zi and Cheng Jin set up two thousand stones for the country, but they only made promises and sat down to whistle. Fan Pang and Cen Hao were just subordinates appointed by the two of them, but they became the real two thousand stones and exercised authority.
Where is this Han family law?
Furthermore, party members have always controlled the Qing Dynasty and promoted individuals to be filial and honest, and many of the people they cited were ungrateful and honest.
A folk ballad in my hometown goes like this: "If you look for a scholar, you don't know how to read; if you look for filial piety and honesty, your father lives away from home. He is cold and pure, white and turbid as mud, and the children of the noble family walk on the street."
What's worse is that the party members are crazy and rebellious.
The first of them, the late Lieutenant Chen Fan, had always been arrogant. When his conspiracy was exposed, he dared to commit more than eighty officials and subordinates, armed with swords and soldiers, to violate the ban.
It is precisely because of this generation that we retreat from good and advance into evil, become riotous and rebellious, and pollute the world. Therefore, everyone in the world is righteous and indignant, which means that they are regarded as "cliques"
Is it possible that this minister’s heartfelt words should not be investigated by the state?”
At that time, these words directly ignited the country's anger.
Issue an edict:
"Anyone who is a member of the Party, a former official, a father or a son, or a brother who holds an official position will be dismissed and imprisoned for life, and will implicate the five clans."
At this time, his lord had formed a deadly feud with the party members.
Knowing the whole story, how could he dare to fall into that trap?
Moreover, the four tribute ships he led were not escorting ordinary objects, but tribute money to be handed over to the West Residence.
The price is tens of millions of dollars, half of which will be handed over to the state, and the other half will be transported to the central government.
How dare he be so rash with such a huge amount of money!
