Fantasy Three Kingdoms: The beginning of Taoyuan four sworn brothers Chapter 290 288, Liu Bei is not a person who has lived under others for a long time.
Chapter 290 288, Liu Bei is not a person who has lived under others for a long time.
Normally I don't realize it, but at this moment, Jingzhou's strength is revealed.
There are nine ranks in the first rank, yes nine, because Chen Yuan is also in the first rank.
There are more than a dozen people in the second grade.
Wei Yan, Zhou Tai, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Liao, Wen Pin, Huang Gai, Sha Mo Ke, Xi Zhicai, Gu Yong, Tian Feng, Ju Shou and so on.
There are civil servants and military generals.
The reason why the civil servants have not yet given birth to a first-class person.
Except of course Chen Yuan.
The main reason is because Shenhun Yitong is different from Douzhan Yitong.
Shenhun pays attention to accumulation.
Even if you are a genius, if you want to break through to the first level, it will take some time to accumulate.
It's different when you fight together.
Pay attention to enlightenment.
However, these people are not far from the first rank.
The staff is ready, but Chen Yuan’s wedding still needs to be completed first.
You can't just leave halfway through.
Ever since, the wedding continued, and Chen Yuan and Cai Wenji completed all the procedures.
Liu Bei was not so crazy and gave Chen Yuan one night to have a wedding.
Chen Yuan took Cai Wenji to the bridal chamber, and Liu Bei began to discuss with everyone how to deal with it.
Chen family, Han family, Zhao family, Yang family, Sima family, and Guo family.
Among them, only the Zhao family and the Guo family have people working in Jingzhou, and the other four families have no one in Jingzhou.
Liu Bei first dealt with this problem.
Called Guo Jia and Zhao Yan over.
Liu Bei did not hesitate and asked the question directly: "Fengxiao, Boran, come to see you. I believe you also know what is going on. Both the Guo family and the Zhao family participated in the siege and killing of the fourth brother. Now I, Jingzhou, want to ask Guo
The Zhao family and the Zhao family are seeking revenge, what do you two think?"
Liu Bei didn't come for show, he came for real.
Because he is not in the mood to engage in those intrigues right now.
Both Guo Jia and Zhao Yan felt Liu Bei's anger.
Guo Jia, however, smiled casually: "The Yingchuan Guo family has no friendship with me, Guo Fengxiao, but for the sake of being from the same clan, I also hope that the envoy can leave a branch for the Yingchuan Guo family to pass on the incense.
That’s it.”
Obviously by saying this, Guo Jia has removed himself from the Yingchuan Guo Family.
In the future, even if Guo Jia has descendants, he will no longer claim to be the Guo family of Yingchuan.
Change it to Xiangyang Guo family or Luoyang Guo family?
Or something else.
It mainly depends on what title Guo Jia can be granted in the future.
It just depends on the fiefdom.
Liu Bei was extremely pleased after hearing Guo Jia's words.
Then he looked at Zhao Yan.
To be honest, Liu Bei paid more attention to Zhao Yan than Guo Jia.
Because although Guo Jia is very powerful, he has not yet fully grown up and is an incomplete Guo Jia.
Zhao Yan is different.
Zhao Yan is now in full body.
Since Zhao Yan entered the army, the military discipline of the Jingzhou army has improved a lot.
Moreover, the coordination between various departments is much stronger than before.
The combat effectiveness has reached another level.
Zhao Yan met Liu Bei's gaze, bowed and said: "My lord, maybe I can no longer serve your lord."
Zhao Yan is different from Guo Jia.
Zhao Yan was deeply cultivated by his family, and he could not abandon Zhao at this time.
And with his or even Jingzhou's current strength, there is definitely no way for the Zhao family to survive.
But no matter what, he must return to Yingchuan and live and die with the Zhao family.
Liu Bei's eyes showed regret, but he could not persuade him.
"Boran, can't you stay in Jingzhou?"
Zhao Yan looked sad.
"Lord, if I don't want to do it, I really can't."
Liu Bei was silent.
There is nothing wrong with this statement.
If Zhao Yan does not go back, he will definitely be reviled by the world in the future.
Therefore, Zhao Yan must go back.
Liu Bei thought for a while: "Boran, go back and tell Zhao that if you voluntarily hand over the people who surrounded and killed the fourth brother today, you may be able to win a way out for Zhao."
After hearing this, Zhao Yan looked grateful, bowed to Liu Bei, and then left.
He had to rush back to Yingchuan overnight to win a chance for the Zhao family.
Yes, there is only a slim chance of survival.
Others don't know how powerful Jingzhou is, how can he not know it?
Let’s not talk about how many masters there are in Jingzhou now.
Just based on the current strength of the Jingzhou Army, it is also arrogant in the world.
Jingzhou has not been resting much in the past few years. It has been constantly suppressing bandits and conducting military expeditions into the southern barbarians.
Basically, all the Jingzhou Army of about 100,000 are veterans who have been tempered by the flames of war.
Military discipline is strict, soldiers are courageous, and generals are harmonious.
And there is already enough food in Jingzhou now.
The most important thing is that Jingzhou has a new system.
Military merit is awarded to fields.
In fact, this is not a new system. This system began in the Qin Dynasty.
If there are two or more males of the same age, their gifts will be doubled. Those who have made military achievements will each receive a title based on their leadership. Those who engage in private fighting will be punished according to their severity. Those who work hard in their profession, till and weave a lot of millet and silk will be reincarnated.
.Those who are not successful in their affairs or who are lazy and poor will be promoted to adopt a child. Unless the clan has military merit, it cannot be a vassal. The rank of the superior and the inferior will be clearly defined, and the land and house will be named according to the difference, and the clothes of the ministers and concubines will be named after the family. If you have merit,
Those who have no merit will show glory, but those who have no merit may be rich but have no glory."
Military merit is used to determine superiority and inferiority, and land is awarded according to rank. Shang Yang advocated "agricultural warfare". He believed that "the only way to prosper a country is agricultural warfare" and stipulated that "if there is no agricultural warfare, there will be no official titles."
This is the so-called farming war.
However, there are now big problems with the implementation of this system.
One is that there were not many active troops in the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to records, there were only tens of thousands of standing troops.
For a huge empire, although this can reduce military expenditures, there are very few people who can confer land with military merit.
There is another important reason, that is, the country does not have that much land now, and most of the land is concentrated in powerful families.
Jingzhou is different.
With an army of 100,000, the government controlled a large amount of land.
In this way, military merit can be re-implemented.
As a result, the morale of the military will be very low.
Land is the lifeblood of the Chinese people.
For a piece of land, one would dare to risk one's life.
Therefore, the soldiers in Jingzhou now dare to fight bravely and even ask for war.
Just to get a piece of land to settle down and live.
Even if you die, this land can become the basis for your family's survival.
Therefore, Jingzhou soldiers not only dare to fight, but are not afraid of death.
In fact, according to Zhao Yan, Jingzhou now has the capital to dominate and dominate the world.
However, Liu Bei and Chen Yuan had a more profound plan, so all of this was secretly hidden.
Zhao Yan returned to Yingchuan worriedly.
To be honest, Zhao Yan didn't have much confidence in persuading his family.
Because he knows very well what those in the family think.
He didn't take Liu Bei and Chen Yuan seriously at all.
I won't bow my head.
The consequence of not bowing down is the annihilation of the clan.
No matter how worried Zhao Yan was, Liu Bei's side was very excited.
After Zhao Yan left, Liu Bei gathered everyone together anxiously.
"Everyone, this old thief of the Sixth Clan disturbed the wedding of my Jingzhou military advisor, and used despicable means to sneak attack and kill the military advisor. If I don't kill him, it will not satisfy the hatred in my heart. I hope you will help me tomorrow to correct our prestige in Jingzhou and to
Understand my feelings for Jingzhou."
"Don't worry, my lord, we will do our best."
Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction: "That's very good. You all should go and have a good rest and recharge your batteries so that you can show off your talents tomorrow."
Everyone else went to rest, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stayed behind.
"Brother, we must kill all these shameless old men tomorrow."
This is what Zhang Fei said.
Liu Bei nodded.
Guan Yu, who has always been thoughtful, agreed this time.
Although Guan Yu seems a bit indifferent on weekdays, his brotherly relationship with Chen Yuan is definitely not fake.
Because of their age, Guan Yu cared deeply for both Zhang Fei and Chen Yuan.
Especially Chen Yuan.
He is young and has no father.
The three of them couldn't help but feel sorry for this fourth brother.
Moreover, Chen Yuan's talent was noticed by the three of them. Now that they are able to dominate Jingzhou, Chen Yuan takes the greatest credit.
But Chen Yuan never mentioned these things and respected and loved his three brothers very much.
How could this not make the three of them angry?
Liu Bei's eyes showed murderous intent: "Second brother, third brother, fight to your heart's content tomorrow. Big brother will do everything."
Liu Bei is giving Guan Yu and Zhang Fei the cover.
Kill as you like, no matter who the person is, as long as he is not the emperor, then kill him.
To be honest, Liu, Guan, and Zhang really don't have that much respect for the imperial court.
Historically, Liu Bei whipped the governor and sent him away.
After Liu Bei fled, General He Jin sent Guan Qiu Yi to Danyang to recruit troops. Liu Bei also joined him on the way. When he arrived at Xia Pi, he fought with bandits and made meritorious service. He was appointed as the Prime Minister of Xia Mi County. During this period, Liu Bei's whereabouts became a mystery.
.
I have no idea where this kid went.
Some people suspect that it was during this time that Liu Bei met Cao Cao.
Because during this period of time, Cao Cao did not serve as an official and was living in seclusion at home.
Cao Cao's family is in Qiaojun, which is not far from Danyang.
It is entirely possible that Liu Bei got to know Cao Cao during this period.
Why do you say that?
Whether we find it in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao was very respectful to Liu Bei, who was completely defeated by Lu Bu. According to the records in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the two sides had never met.
Since the fall of Xuzhou, Liu Bei has been treated well by Cao Cao.
The First Lord was defeated and returned to Cao Gong. Cao Gong treated him favorably and considered him the shepherd of Yuzhou.
The first lord is General Zuo. The more important the etiquette is, the more important it is. When he goes out, he shares the same seat, and when he sits down, he shares the same table.
Going out to share the same sentiments is not an action that occurs casually by patting the head, but a social etiquette used by the Han people to express brotherhood at that time. Zhong Hui also did this to show his closeness to Jiang Wei:
When Hui and Wei go out, they share the same seat, and when they sit down, they share the same table.
In the last years of Emperor Ling's reign, Bei was in the capital, and returned to the Pei Kingdom with Cao Gong to recruit all the people. After the death of Emperor Hui Ling, the world was in chaos, and Bei also raised an army to attack Dong Zhuo.
What does this record indicate?
It shows that Liu Bei appeared in Luoyang during the reign of Emperor Ling, and went to Pei State with Cao Cao many times to recruit troops. What's even better is that Liu Bei also participated in the alliance of the Kwantung princes to fight against Dong, but he was subordinate to a certain warlord.
"Heroes" records: Liu Bei was not only an old acquaintance with Cao Cao, but also participated in the alliance to defeat Dong.
So how do we find this experience from Liu Bei’s resume?
At this stage, "Three Kingdoms" records it very simply:
After a while, the general He Jin sent the captain Guanqiu Yiyi to Danyang to recruit troops. The former leader went with him. When he went to Xiapi, he encountered thieves. He fought hard and made meritorious service. He was dismissed as the Prime Minister of Xia Mi. He was dismissed from the official position. Later he was promoted to Gaotang Lieutenant and moved to Gaotang.
For orders.
Not long after his escape, Liu Bei met Guan Qiu Yi and followed him to Danyang to recruit troops. This should have happened shortly after Liu Bei left Anxi County.
After that, Liu Bei made meritorious service, received rewards, and then resigned, until he finally became the Order of Gaotang.
Liu Bei's experience was recorded between 184 and 190 AD. During this period, Cao Cao first served as the prime minister of Jinan, and then returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. It was not until 188 that he returned to Luoyang at the invitation of Emperor Ling to serve as the captain of the Dian Army.
After Liu Bei had many difficulties in serving as an official, he thought of his teacher Lu Zhi in Luoyang.
In other words, "Bei Chang was in the capital" recorded in "The Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty" should have been between 188 and 189. Why did Liu Bei appear in Luoyang at this time?
Because he "returned his official position".
At this time, he chose to go to Luoyang, make friends with people, and submit his resume.
Why go to Luoyang?
Because his teacher Lu Zhi is in Luoyang!
The final result was "Later he was promoted to Gaotang Wei, and then moved to Ling."
It seems that this operation in the capital is still effective.
So how does Liu Bei operate in the capital city of Luoyang?
We don't know, but judging from "returning to Pei with Duke Cao and recruiting all the troops", Cao Cao recognized Liu Bei's ability. Perhaps his experience of assisting Guan Qiu Yi in recruiting troops helped him gain Cao Cao's support.
Trust and affirmation of his abilities.
Liu Bei followed Cao Cao to recruit troops. Perhaps Cao Cao took a fancy to his experience in recruiting troops under Guanqiu Yi.
From the above information, we seem to have found the history of Liu Bei's struggle from 184 to 191.
In 184 AD, Liu Bei was awarded the title of County Lieutenant of Anxi County for his meritorious service in suppressing the rebel army.
Later, he abandoned his official post and fled because of the whipping.
Not long after, he met Guanqiu Yi who was going to Danyang to recruit troops.
So Liu Bei led his troops to follow him to Danyang and made military exploits in the Xiapi area. After Guanqiu Yi returned to Beijing, he expressed his merits to the court, so Liu Bei was named the county magistrate of Xiami County. However, Liu Bei did not stay in Xiami for long.
, still dissatisfied with this position, once again chose to resign and leave.
Later, Liu Bei discovered that he could not gain a foothold in the officialdom just by relying on military exploits and heads.
So he decided to go to Luoyang and follow his teacher Lu Zhi.
Through the recommendation of Lu Zhi's relationship, Liu Bei and Cao Cao met and went to Xiaopei area many times to recruit troops together, forming a good personal and cooperative relationship.
After a period of hard work and operation in Luoyang, Liu Bei was appointed again, this time to Gaotang County as county captain, and was promoted to county magistrate soon after.
In 190 AD, the Kwantung princes formed an alliance to attack Dong Zhuo. Gaotang County, where Liu Bei was located at this time, was affiliated with Pingyuan County, Qingzhou. He most likely followed Yuan Shao or Qiao Mao to participate in this expedition. But after the alliance was disbanded, Liu Bei returned
Arriving at Gaotang, I found that Gaotang County was attacked by the Yellow Turban remnants.
He failed to benefit from the alliance, and his old nest in Gaotang was destroyed by the remaining Yellow Turbans. At this time, Liu Bei thought of his old classmate Gongsun Zan.
So he went all the way north to join Gongsun Zan.
So when did Cao Cao and Liu Bei meet?
It should be around AD 188-189.
Of course, we can also see a problem from the above things, that is, Liu Bei is almost a habitual offender when he abandons his official position.
He often abandoned his official position and ran away.
Maybe this has something to do with Liu Bei's inability to be reused. This guy is obviously a thorn in the officialdom.
This is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and troubled times are coming, otherwise Duoduo will be blacklisted by the court.
This guy gives up his position at every turn, who would dare to use you?
Of course, it may also be related to the fact that Liu Bei did not have a long-term plan at this time. Maybe Liu Bei at this period was only thinking about fame and fortune.
Later, Zhuge Liang said that he wanted to do justice to the world. It was probably after more than ten years of experience that he came up with such thoughts.
In a word, Liu Bei is not someone who has lived under others for a long time.
