Yang Biao and Zhao Wen met, and they were also filled with emotion.
Now he knew why Zhao Wen refused to come back, so he sent Zhang Song first to advise him not to be troubled.
With Zhao Wen's current physical and mentality, he could not bear the heavy responsibility of Situ.
It is not to safeguard his honor, but to take his life.
"Wenxian, I appreciate your kindness, but I really find it difficult to let it be. Instead of trying hard to be strong and ruining the country and yourself, it is better to retreat and do something within your ability."
Yang Biao nodded silently, as if he had accepted this reality.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to find some people to compile a book about Yizhou." Zhao Wen's expression relaxed. "Yizhou is thousands of miles away, and the upper part is expected to visit the second constellation. It is one of the ancient nine states, but there is no general history.
Isn’t it ridiculous for the people of the Central Plains to regard it as barbarians? I am old and unable to take on government affairs, so I summoned some scholars to collect historical materials and compile a general history of Yizhou, which can be regarded as leaving something for future generations.”
Yang Biao smiled with a smile on his beard. "You are so ambitious. The first general history of Yizhou is fascinating to think about it."
Zhao Wen also smiled. "In addition to this general history, I also want to write something."
Yang Biao looked at Zhao Wen and gradually put away his smile. "What do you want to write?"
"autobiography."
"Autobiography?" Yang Biao's eyes flashed slightly. "Is it so urgent?"
Zhao Wen shook his head. "It's not what you think. My autobiography is not to give me fans, but to look back on my life's gains and losses. Although I am not virtuous and talented, I have also struggled in my career for nearly thirty years.
I have experienced many people and things. I have not achieved many achievements and learned a lot of lessons. I have written them for future generations to refer to, so that they can avoid detours. It is also good."
Yang Biao thought about it and looked slightly. "This is a good idea. Zirou, come first and make a breakthrough for us old ministers."
"Honored."
——
Liaodong, Xiangping.
Liu Bei stood on the shore, watching the passenger ship slowly docking, lifted the cloak, and rushed over quickly.
Before the ship could stop, he jumped, got on the boat, came to the cabin door, and reached out to push it.
The hatch door opened and Kong Rong walked out from inside. When he saw Liu Bei, he was stunned for a while before he realized that he couldn't help laughing.
"So it's General of the East. Why don't you come and welcome me? How can I be embarrassed?"
Liu Bei laughed loudly and held Kong Rong's arm enthusiastically. "Brother Wen Ju, everyone in Liaodong already knows about your expedition to Mobei. Everyone admires you and is waiting to welcome you. If I didn't come early
, then I can't even sit on the last seat."
Kong Rong was stunned for a moment, looking at the crowd on the shore, a little confused.
"Are they here to welcome me?"
"Of course." Liu Bei pointed his hand and reported a series of loud names, all of which were Qing Xu Daru, whom Kong Rong was familiar with. "They are all here to welcome you, and there are many of them who want to walk with you."
Kong Rong took a deep breath and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
He has always felt aggrieved about going to the north of the Mo Dynasty to find the remnants of the Shang Dynasty. He felt that he was looking for the remnants of the Shang Dynasty. The great cause of the old Confucian classics was actually a disguised exile. If it were not for helplessness, he would not want to go.
.
I never expected that so many people admire him and wanted to go with him.
Don’t they know how cold Mobei is?
Before Kong Rong could come back to his senses, Liu Bei sighed again. "Although I am the General of the East, I am about to be ordered to conquer the Three Hans, Japan, split the land and vassal states, and have a large vassal of the Great Han, but few people are willing to follow me.
In comparison, I really envy you."
Kong Rong finally reacted, glanced at Liu Bei, and laughed.
Liu Bei came to welcome him because he wanted to be a lobbyist and advised some people to follow him to conquer overseas.
This is a good thing.
After returning from Mobei in the future, he would also want to change his place to retire. Bohai is not good, he could see that Zhang Zhao couldn't handle it, and virtue was a joke, and Bohai would inevitably return to the court in the end.
If he could become an official in Liu Bei's vassal state, he would definitely be very comfortable.
Liu Bei's admiration for him was written on his face and engraved in his heart.
"Don't worry, General, as long as you are kind and righteous, and do moral governance, there will naturally be people to rely on you." Kong Rong patted Liu Bei's arm confidently. "Three Koreans, although Japan is far away from the Central Plains, can it be further away than the Mobei?"
Liu Bei understood it. This trip was not in vain, at least Kong Rong agreed.
The two got ashore together. Zhuge Jin and Chen Lin first greeted each other and exchanged greetings. Then Guan Ning, Wang Lie and others came to meet. As Liu Bei said, they were all active about Kong Rong's trip to the north of the desert.
emotions.
Of course, what they value most is the possible classics.
They are full of yearning for the classics that the saints have read.
From their eyes, Kong Rong saw a familiar look.
Such a spirit can no longer be seen in many places. Although those people still call themselves Confucians, they are disrespectful to sages and criticize Confucian classics, which are shallow and shameful.
But he was still a little worried about his trip to Mobei.
After all, he is no longer young, and whether he can withstand the long journey and the bitter cold of Mobei are all unknown. He did not plan to set off immediately, but he had to wait for Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu is still on the battlefield in Yizhou, and it is still unknown when he will be able to set off.
He came to Liaodong first because he wanted to adapt to the climate in Liaodong.
Everyone laughed at the worry that Kong Rong said in his words.
They told Kong Rong that Mobei is indeed cold, but it is not insurmountable.
Going far away, the Shang Dynasty survivors were defeated and destroyed at that time, and their conditions were so poor that they could survive in Mobei. If you have the support of the court, what are you afraid of?
To be closer, Zhou Yu has returned from Mobei and has experience in resisting the cold. With him, there will definitely be no problem.
Then, they talked about a lot of ways to prevent cold, such as wearing more leather jackets and eating more meat. Someone seriously recommended guidance to Kong Rong, saying that if you persist in practicing, you can resist freezing and coldness and prolong your life.
.
Kong Rong heard this and was amused and awakened.
Although these people are in Liaodong, they are scholars after all, and they are usually pampered and have never been tested.
Although Liaodong is cold, can it be compared with Mobei?
If the cold in the north of the Mo River is on the top of the mountain, the cold in the Liaodong is still at the foot of the mountain.
Hey, why do I have such a metaphor?
Unlike the simple spiritual support of Confucian scholars, Liu Bei gave Kong Rong more practical support.
He gave Kong Rong several sets of winter clothes that were extremely warm and effective.
He bought these winter clothes at a high price. They were filled with not silk floss, but kapok, which is said to come from the distant Indians.
Kong Rong was a little suspicious. It is said that India was extremely hot, so how could it produce cold-proof objects?
Having said that, he still accepted Liu Bei's gift. After a little try, he knew that what Liu Bei said was true. This kapok is much warmer than silk floss and is lighter enough to be comparable to the best silk floss.
Kong Rong reciprocates his favor and takes advantage of the opportunity to accept the banquet and repeatedly expressed that he hoped that when he returned from Mobei, Liu Bei had already founded the country. He even wanted to complete the sorting and research of the old scriptures in Liu Bei's fiefdom.
The emperor implemented the new policy in the Central Plains and made major changes to the Confucian classics. Although it was beneficial to people's livelihood, it was too harmful to the classics. He wanted to seek a place of happiness and preserve the most pure legacy of the ancient sages.
He had a great influence among Confucian scholars, so many people changed their minds and decided to join Liu Bei and follow Liu Bei to conquer overseas.
Although Liaodong has not been affected yet, as a county controlled by the imperial court, it will sooner or later also affect it.
If you want to retain yourself, following Liu Bei to fight against the Three Koreans is also a good choice.
In mid-May, Liu Bei wrote a letter asking for a war.
