Chapter 3 The four words 'Han clan clan' have long been out of date.
Admittedly, it is very reasonable for Guan Yu to admire Liu Bei so much.
In this era, it was basically a miracle for someone to counterattack from his background as a mat weaver and shoe seller and become a disciple of Confucianism and the son-in-law of a county magistrate.
Not to mention Guan Yu, anyone who knew Liu Bei admired him so much that they only regretted that they were not as capable as Liu Bei. They looked at him with starry eyes and full of admiration.
Liu Bei didn't know Guan Yu's psychological activities, nor did he know how much Guan Yu admired his turning skills. He just gave Guan Yu a few words.
"Yunchang, you and Yide go to Ji Jian's village to deliver a message and ask Ji Jian to come see me. I have something to tell him. Also, before you leave the city, go to the county government office and deliver a message to my senior brother.
I will take care of Su Shuang's matter, so he doesn't have to worry, and I'll treat him to barbecue another day."
Guan Yu was a little surprised.
"Does this matter require Ji Jianhe Zhaizi?"
Liu Bei nodded.
"I heard before that Cheng Dazhi and the others had some inexplicable connection with Taiping Dao. Taiping Dao is not peaceful. This time Cheng Dazhi and others robbed the horses. I am afraid there is some connection in it. It is always good to be more prepared, isn't it?
"
Guan Yu thought for a while and felt that what Liu Bei said made sense, so he nodded.
"only."
Guan Yu turned around and left.
When he went out, Jian Yong walked in. The two of them looked at each other and nodded to each other. Jian Yong strode towards Liu Bei with a smile on his face, like a spring breeze.
"Is that big man the horse dealer?"
"Well, you've been asking about me for several days, and now you're finally here."
Liu Bei chuckled: "Although I always feel that he has other intentions, it is not bad to be able to establish this relationship. Horse dealers traveling throughout Liaodong, among other things, have the ability to obtain high-quality horses. We will do it in the future
You can use him."
"That's natural."
Jian Yong smiled and said: "Fu Jun is in good health, you don't have to worry."
When Liu Bei heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Bei's future father-in-law, Prefect Han of Zhuo County, was ill and had been recuperating in his mansion. Liu Bei had been busy for a while, and asked Jian Yong to go to various places to find famous doctors to treat Prefect Han. Jian Yong also came back and forth.
Been busy for a while.
Now that Governor Han has recovered his health, Liu Bei is very grateful to Jian Yong.
"That's good, Xianhe, thank you for your hard work."
Liu Bei took Jian Yong's hand and patted Jian Yong's shoulder: "By the way, I got the Qingzhou leather paper you've been coveting for you. Although there are only ten pieces, save some."
Jian Yong was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Did you really get it? That's a great thing! How did you get it?"
"Then I have to thank you, senior brother."
Liu Bei chuckled and said: "Senior brother's wife loves calligraphy. How could she let go of Qingzhou vellum paper that is so good? It happened that Gongsun had some business dealings with Qingzhou and had some acquaintances, so senior brother asked his acquaintances at home to look around.
Got some.
As a result, I found out about this, so I shamelessly asked him for it and gave him a lot of complaints. He didn't want to give it to me at first, so I almost snatched ten of them outright, and I still owe him a meal for it.
When it comes to barbecue, my senior brother really doesn’t want to suffer at all.”
Jian Yong was quite moved when he heard this.
",I just mentioned casually, this..."
"You have done so many things for me, and you just want a few pieces of paper. How can I not satisfy you?"
Liu Bei laughed: "Xianhe, now that we have nothing to do, how about we play a game of chess? I was unwilling to lose to you before."
Jian Yong smiled and nodded.
The two entered the room, sat face to face on the cushions, placed the chessboard, and began to play.
Liu Bei took the lead with white, and Jian Yong took black. The two of them fought back and forth for more than a hundred moves, and the situation on the chessboard gradually became clear.
Liu Bei also slowly started talking.
"When I went to visit Mr. Fu before, Mr. Fu told me that he hoped that I would consider getting married as soon as possible, because soon it will be the season for filial piety and integrity, and I will go to Luoyang in the future. If I don't get it done now, I might be in trouble.
It will be delayed for several years, Xianhe, what do you think?"
Jian Yong dropped the black piece in his hand on the chessboard.
"How else can I see it? It's just that Mr. Han is worried that if you don't get married earlier, when you are dazzled by the flowers and plants in Luoyang City and climb higher branches, you will no longer look down on his female son-in-law. He has been
Isn’t the investment just...what do you mean by that sentence? Oh! It’s all in vain.”
Liu Bei laughed and dropped the white piece in his hand onto the chessboard, blocking Jian Yong's offensive.
"The flowers and plants in Luoyang City? How can there be any flowers and plants in Luoyang City? I only see the rich people in Luoyang City smell of wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road. It is like a prosperous country."
Jian Yong's expression darkened, and Luo Zi's hand shook slightly.
"The wine and meat of the rich family are stinky, and there are people who freeze to death on the road... His literary talent is outstanding, I admire him, I admire him."
"What do you admire?"
Liu Bei pinched the white pieces in his hand and said with a wry smile: "Don't you and I know enough about what the world is like? Didn't we also come here at that time? The powerful landowners have a lot of fish and meat, their faces are rosy and shiny, and they are all fat and strong.
When roasting, if you squeeze it with your hands, oil will come out of it.
What about the ordinary Li Shu? They have nothing to eat, but their clothes are ragged, they can’t even eat enough, and they can’t walk. On Fengshi Mountain, I read Historical Records and Han Shu, and I felt that if this world continues, the world will be in chaos. The Han Dynasty
I’m afraid it won’t last long.”
"These are heart-wrenching words."
Jian Yong made another move and chuckled: "Don't you hope that the Han Dynasty will last forever? This is strange. After all, you are also a member of the Han family. If the Han Dynasty disappears, you, the Han family, will
My dear, it’s of no use at all.”
When Liu Bei thought about the kind of things he saw in Luoyang City, he always felt a little blocked in his heart.
"It's not like I hope it will happen. Someone has to stand up and clear out all the things that should be cleared out, and bring peace to the world. Otherwise, how can we manage this great world by hanging around with those insects all day long?
?
Then again, what does my status as a member of the Han clan have to do with my being able to make it this far? On the streets of Zhuoxian County, if I meet a random person, he might be a member of the Han clan. To put it bluntly,
The four words "Han clan clan" have long been in the public domain."
"Bad Street... Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha! Liu, Liu, how can you always say such witty words! Hahahaha!"
Jian Yong was amused by Liu Bei's words. After a while, he wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "Didn't you say that you saw a warrior in Luoyang? He said that he severely punished anyone who disobeyed the law.
He beat the shit out of a great eunuch's uncle?"
When Liu Bei heard this, he paused when he was about to make a move, and then sneered.
"Ah, that's right. That man was indeed harsh on the law. He ignored all those who disobeyed the law. He set up five-colored sticks and beat up the powerful family members. But Xianhe, you know? That man's name is Cao Cao, and his grandfather is the chief minister of the palace.
Autumn, the eunuch Cao Teng."
Jian Yong was stunned.
"Well... you never told me that Cao Mengde's grandfather was a eunuch. This... is a bit strange..."
"If I told you, would you still think that there is hope for the Han Dynasty?"
Liu Bei looked at Jian Yong, and Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei.
Finally, the two of them sighed together and were silent for a while.
After a long time, Jian Yong placed a piece on the chessboard again and started talking again.
"Speaking of which, even though Cao Mengde came from a eunuch family, Cao Teng is dead after all, but Jian Shuo is still alive. He beat his uncle to death, so Jian Shuo won't cause trouble for him?"
"I found it, why didn't I find it? Jian Shuo wants to kill Cao Mengde."
Liu Bei sneered and said: "But it's useless. Even though Cao Teng died, the political resources left to the Cao family are still abundant. The eunuchs are not monolithic. There are also factional disputes. I heard that there is a big eunuch in the palace who can't deal with Jian Shuo.
There are several of them, including those related to Cao Teng.
There are connections among the eunuchs and the court. Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was the chief minister of the dynasty and ranked among the nine ministers. That's not all. His father, Cao Chi, served as the captain of Changshui and was in charge of the palace guards. This is a military aspect.
relation.
At that time four years ago, Empress Song had not yet passed away, and the Cao family and the Song family were related by marriage. Cao Mengde was friends with Song Qi, the brother of Empress Song, and had a good relationship. This was a relationship between relatives. When something went wrong, all four parties were involved.
Even if he, Cao Mengde, wanted to die when he launched a rescue effort, how could he die?"
