This man's surname was Liu, his name was Chaozong, and he was the son of Liu's family in Xiangyang. In the ninth year of the Daye year, he was appointed as the assistant commander of Nanyang County. In the tenth year of the Daye year, the grain and grass transported to Luoyang were robbed by the rebels, and due to ineffective suppression of the bandits, most of the officials in Nanyang
After being convicted, Liu Chaozong did not run away.
What is better than others is that because of his family background, he was not dismissed from office, but was demoted to the magistrate of Xinye County and still served as an official in Nanyang.
Huang Qu calls himself Nanyang Huangqu, which is purely to put money on his face, and only if this person calls himself Nanyang Liu Chaozong would he truly deserve his name.
This descendant of the Liu family in Xiangyang was the mastermind behind Zhu Can's assassination.
Speaking of which, this person's plot against Zhu Can was not out of public anger, but out of private hatred.
And Liu Chaozong did let Li Poza have a solid experience of what the meaning of friends is like these days.
What people call good family management is actually just scratching the surface. Women such as wives, concubines, daughters, and other female family members do not avoid others, so they just have the appearance of being a good family leader.
Taking it a step further, we can entrust each other with our wives and children, just say something happened to you. Leave your wife here with me and I will raise it for you. The relationship will obviously be better than that of the whole family, and you can use it now.
In other words, it is your wife and I will support her.
Of course, it may sound a little awkward to people later because the praise and criticism have changed a bit, but most of the time it is a very solemn promise between friends.
In fact, the meaning of friendship ultimately reaches a state where life and death can be entrusted to me. In other words, it means that I put this great life in your hands without worrying at all.
For your sake, we will die without complaint. Only then can we be called friends of life and death.
Just like when Li Jing was trapped in Chang'an and cut off from friends, Wei Jie Neng came to help, which can be said to be a life-and-death friendship, and it has been verified.
So, there are not too many friends who can trust life and death and similar stories these days, but there are definitely a lot. After all, this is an act of righteousness that is generally recognized by people, and in times of war, there is no shortage of opportunities to display this kind of righteousness.
.
Of course, in troubled times, betrayal is the theme. This is unmistakable, because when troubled times come, human nature will undoubtedly override moral constraints.
Liu Chaozong, on the other hand, interpreted the concept of the friendship between life and death to the extreme, which is chilling to the extreme.
He also had a life-and-death friend named Gongsun Jing. The whole family was killed by Zhu Can's bandits. Only one loyal servant survived with Gongsun Jing's youngest son and defected to Liu Chaozong.
When Liu Chaozong heard the bad news, he was so sad that he hated Zhu Can to the core.
Liu Chaozong's family has been filled with officials for generations and is a well-known wealthy family in Jingxiang. Liu Chaozong himself was also a member of the officialdom and knew many people. According to later generations, his social relations were very complicated.
Without much trouble, I settled my family affairs, sent all my relatives to Xiangyang for resettlement, and gathered a dozen of my confidants.
It took several more months to not only find out the traces of the Zhu Can bandits, but also find some people who had a deep hatred for the bandits.
In Li Po's view, this person did not have many complex plans in the future. He just took it one step at a time. Of course, for such an assassination operation, it is a prerequisite to disregard life and death. It is a necessary condition that most of his own people are kept in the valley.
, other than that, it actually depends on the mastermind’s ability to adapt to circumstances and a lucky halo.
There is no need to ask whether Liu Chaozong has that ability or talent. He is also lucky enough.
When everything was ready, Liu Chaozong first resigned from the position of Xinye County Magistrate. In fact, he ran away with his seal. At this time, it was no different from the late Han Dynasty.
The prosperous land of Jingxiang was also completely destroyed by Zhu Can's rebel army. To be honest, the destructiveness of Zhu Can's rebel army was really comparable to the two in Henan.
Since the war in the late Jin Dynasty, many northerners have fled to the land of Jingxiang. As the population here has greatly increased, it has become increasingly prosperous, and it is also a serious land of plenty in the Central Plains.
Zhu Can's cannibal army not only eats people, but also eats grain. The most disgusting thing is that he doesn't let you farm.
Over the past few years, these guys who have become bandits have made this place desolate and desolate. They have committed a lot of crimes.
Therefore, few people have the time to hold Liu Chaozong accountable for his crimes. The world is in such chaos, what’s the point of being a county magistrate?
What Liu Chaozong did next was more shocking. He packed up his baby who had just turned one year old, and sent someone directly to give it to Zhu Can to taste. As a result, Zhu Can's baby banquet had an extra diner.
Li Po couldn't imagine that scene. Even if the common people were extremely hungry, there was a saying that they could eat by changing their sons, but this righteous man who avenged his friend ate without changing his expression...
The most famous such guy seems to be King Wen of Zhou, but he wants the whole world, but Liu Chaozong is driven by hatred.
This is the real legend, and Huang Qu and his wife cannot compare to it. It is probably because God appreciates this kind of behavior, so Liu Chaozong's subsequent plans also have a lucky bonus.
But the final assassination of Zhu Can was not as miraculous as the external rumors.
As soon as Zhu Can died, the rebel army immediately exploded their nest.
Although Zhu Can's notoriety has spread all over the world, he also has many confidants. After the last chaotic battle, Zhu Can's army disappeared, but Liu Chaozong and others were also chased into dogs.
Once the people who were determined to die rushed out from Zhu Can's rebellious army, their survival immediately increased, and they started to hide and seek with the guys who were pursuing them in the land of Jingxiang.
Their number was getting smaller and smaller, and when they were about to be doomed, Li Mi, the unlucky man, went south. Wang Shichong then sent troops to attack Zhang Shanxiang, but Zhang Shanxiang was defeated and killed. Xiao Mian took the opportunity to seize Xiangfan and took advantage of the situation.
After a period of chaos, Liu Chaozong and others were able to escape smoothly.
In a panic, they should have fled to Xiangyang, but they went all the way north across the Yellow River. It is estimated that Liu Chaozong was also dizzy by now, and his eyes were green from hunger.
Why go to the west to join Li Yuan, what to go to the east to join Wang Shichong, what about Henan, Guanxi, and Shanxi, they all can't think of it, they just want to get rid of the tail behind them.
It can be seen from this that this guy is not an ambitious guy, and he probably doesn't care much about the general trend of the world. He is far from what people call a wise man nowadays.
But if we really talk about what he did, people today are likely to give him a thumbs up and praise him for having the heroic spirit of ancient times.
Li Po looked at the silent middle-aged man in front of him, and actually wanted to ask someone to drag him out and kill him.
As a person who has just had a child, and his consistent philosophy, he will definitely not like people like Liu Chaozong. You said that your own child is given to others to eat, and you even put it on the table yourself. Well, man and beast
What's the difference? It seems to be worse than an animal, right?
Having cut off love and sex to this extent, do you want to become an immortal?
A story brings three very special people to Li Po. There is no need to consider whether the story is true or false, but people can use them as they see fit.
Because regardless of Li Po's own likes and dislikes, in his position, killing people is nothing, being able to recruit talents for his own use is an issue that he should carefully consider.
Liu Chaozong was a middle-aged man with a sallow face. He must have suffered a lot while fleeing, and he looked even worse than Huang Qu and his wife.
His legendary story should have ended here in Jin, and he himself seemed to agree with this.
After entering, this man bowed slightly and remained silent. Obviously, although he did not open his mouth to ask for mercy, his desire to survive was almost the same as those two.
Li Po actually wanted to see if people who ate human flesh would have green light in their eyes like the rumors, but he didn't look up, which made Li Po very disappointed.
At this moment, Li Po had no time to waste. He only pondered for a moment and said: "The post of Pingyao County Magistrate is temporarily vacant. You can take it. There are no cannibal demon kings there, only people who are crying for food. If you want to imitate Liu Xuande's behavior again,
I will not forgive you."
Liu Chaozong bowed his hands and thanked her. His voice was hoarse, but it was much more pleasant to listen to than Gu Yanlai's thin voice.
"If a military leader does not give up, a subordinate official will surely live up to his trust."
Liu Chaozong raised his head and there was no green light in his eyes. Obviously the rural rumors were not credible, but he did have a pair of eyes that were cold and a little crazy.
That's right. Guys who have eaten people will never have a sound mind.
The three people left one after another. Li Po touched his chin and thought, he won't meet too many people like this in the future, right? It's wonderful, but encountering too many people only shows that God doesn't have a good eye.
Of course, having said that, Liu Chaozong's ability as a county magistrate is unknown. In fact, he does have a position here that should be suitable for Liu Chaozong.
It's just that according to his habit, people from Fang Lai won't use him too much. This situation may change in the future, but it won't be the case now.
Of course, at this time, Li Po would never have thought that the three people he simply sent away today would not be unknown people in the future.
Because of his arrival, the life trajectories of some people have undergone drastic changes. Zhu Can died inexplicably a few years early, and the characters who assassinated Zhu Can have become different.

In early February of this year, when the weather was about to get warmer, Jiangjun's army broke out from the camp, with swords and guns standing everywhere, people shouting and horses neighing, and they came southward from all over the field. After leaving Jiangjun's territory, the army was divided into three groups.
.
Zuowuwei general Li Nian and Zuotunwei general Chen Yuan led their troops to the south, and then stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River to prevent Li Jiancheng's troops from Tongguan from crossing the river and heading north.
General Wei Chigong of the Left Guard, General Buqun of the Right Armed Guard, General Xue Wanche of the Right Armed Guard and others stationed at Longmen.
And Li Po took over his own army and marched more than 70,000 troops into Linhe County...
The good start of the year belongs to Li Po undoubtedly. While all the heroes are looking around, looking for opponents, he has already launched his troops to attack the Tang Dynasty...
