As if he didn't expect Wang Zheng to react like this, Mi Heng was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized.
At such a young age, does this guy already know how to put on pretense and win people's hearts?
Although you felt that the other party's behavior was rough and abrupt, Mi Heng was still deeply moved.
At the very least, this proves that Wang Zheng still pays some attention to him.
"General Tiangong is righteous!"
First, you cupped your hands to express your thanks, and then You Heng continued: "Heng's parents and members of the clan have all died, and his hometown has been reduced to scorched ruins. But in the final analysis, this reckless man like Earth Ghost is nothing more than an executioner, and the original one who created the figurines is Yuan Benchu!"
"Therefore, Heng made a solemn oath that day to Wen Chou and Yuan Shao. I will kill their leader and destroy their clan!"
"If Heng can't do it, then my son will continue to do it... descendants, forever!"
"I, your family from Pingyuan, and Yuan family from Runan, will never live together!"
Hearing the firmness in his words, Wang Zheng couldn't help but cheer: "Okay!"
This Confucian scholar is indeed unruly, and his words are indeed excessive...
However, for a scholar to show such a sharp side, Wang Zheng was still in awe.
At the very least, he saw in Mi Heng the most desirable qualities of a man.
The bones are hard and will not be soft!
You must know that even in the era of the Han Dynasty when "great revenge" was prevalent, it was impossible to erase people's essential "egoism".
It's nothing to be impulsive and violent. It's extremely difficult to be firm and unswerving after careful consideration.
Especially the target of revenge he has to face...
It is Yuan Shao who now dominates Hebei!
Wang Zheng believes that Mi Heng cannot be unaware of the ups and downs and difficulties involved.
And the Runan Yuan family behind Yuan Shao...
What a behemoth it is?
Even its most representative figures, the Four Generations and Three Young Masters, are just the tip of the iceberg of the energy of this world's most powerful family.
Behind it, it also represents the Nanyang system and famous religions!
This even starts with Dong Zhongshu.
In addition to "deposing hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", it was precisely because Dong Zhongshu formally systematized the concept of "Mingjiao", a variant of Confucianism and the predecessor of ethics, that Confucianism became absolute in the history of the Celestial Dynasty for more than two thousand years.
Social orthodoxy!
The so-called famous religion refers to the political concepts and moral norms that conform to the interests of the superiors and the minority...
It is established as a title, designated as a name, named as a famous festival, and made into a merit!
Then use concepts such as the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Principles to educate the people at the lower levels. This is the so-called "teaching by name."
As for Yuan Shu of Runan, and even another top family member, the Hongnong Yang family, who also had "Four Generations and Three Dukes", they all came from an interest group that held high the banner of "famous religion": the powerful Nanyang clan.
In fact, the fate of the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than two hundred years was determined from the moment Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu rose up.
It became a dynasty in which the Liu family and Mingjiao were jointly in power.
Because in the process of Liu Xiu's ascension to the throne, famous teachers played an extremely important role.
Especially the three famous religious forces among them.
The powerful Nanyang faction who supported Liu Xiu's rebellion, the powerful Hebei faction who supported Liu Xiu's proclaimed emperor in Qianqiu Pavilion, and the powerful Yingchuan faction who helped Liu Xiu seize Luoyang!
As a member of the Nanyang family, in a sense, from the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yuan family in Runan enjoyed the highest treatment of "resting with the country".
It’s just that it developed so much in the end.
He was so powerful that not only was he a prominent figure in the Nanyang system, but the only one who could vote against it, the Hongnong Yang family, was also married to him. He was no longer satisfied with "living with the country", but wanted to change the dynasty and found the country!
How did Yuan Shao get started? Xun Chen persuaded Han Fu to surrender Jizhou.
How can such harassment be successful?
This was because Xun Chen, the lobbyist sent there, was a descendant of the Xun family in Yingchuan, and Han Fu was born in the Han family in Yingchuan. The two families were jointly ranked as the fourth leaders of Yingchuan. They were family friends, and because of their friendship, they were more qualified to talk to each other.
Han Fu's surrender to Jizhou has a deeper meaning.
This is the stance of the Hebei faction: they support the Yuan family of Runan to replace the Liu family and conquer the world.
In the original history of the late Han Dynasty.
During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao held most of the territories in the six states of Qing, Xu, Yan, Yu, Si, and Yong. However, his military strength was far inferior to that of Yuan Shao. Why?
Because among the county officials and local powerful men under him, except for one Li Tong who clearly expressed his support for Cao Amo, the rest sat on the sidelines and did not help each other. Some of them almost secretly defected to Yuan Shao.
So why did Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu become the first princes in the world one after another?
In fact, it is all because the energy of the Yuan family in Runan is too great.
In the late Han Dynasty, disputes arose from his family, and the competition among heroes turned into internal fighting within the Xiaoqiang.
...
"I see."
After knowing the other party's life background, Wang Zheng thought for a moment and understood Mi Heng's intention and reason for coming here.
He put down his ever-present guard and nodded: "Sir, since you want to destroy the Yuan family in Runan, why did you find me, the Yellow Turban rebel?"
"That's right." Mi Heng stared at Wang Zheng and admitted frankly: "If you want to achieve power and fame, the Heng family will live in Han Dynasty, and they will definitely not come to see the general, let alone become a thief!"
"But since Heng is out for revenge, the Yuan family is so powerful that all the princes today are his minions. Although the world is big, apart from the generals, Heng is..."
"Refreshing!" Wang Zheng quite admired his outspoken style, "This general is indeed not your best choice, but..."
"If you want to destroy the Yuan family, this may be your only choice!"
"But do you really think I can defeat the Yuan family?"
"General Tiangong is currently very difficult to defeat." Mi Heng shook his head: "But in the future, if another dynasty comes, it may not be possible to destroy Yuan Shao and get rid of the Yuan family."
Do you think so highly of me?
Wang Zheng looked around in surprise and saw Mi Heng continuing to talk:
"At a young age, you attacked Zhao County, captured Guangrao, defeated Linzi, and even raided Xuzhou with hundreds of thousands of people in the dead of winter. So far, you have won great victories in more than ten battles. It can be said that you have the style of Huaiyin in the past, and your reputation spread throughout the world."
"In the past few days, Heng stared at the city and saw that the general's soldiers were elite and well-disciplined. The most rare thing is that these combat-ready soldiers were the general's own in less than a year.
Although Heng didn't know the reason, he was amazed and admired him!"
"The coach is ambitious and capable, and the soldiers are brave and able to fight. These are the foundations of hegemony."
"Doing nothing means having no virtue." Wang Zheng laughed at himself: "But you can't live up to the reputation of a gentleman."
"Otherwise." Mi Heng said seriously: "At the beginning of the general's rise, he had few soldiers and many soldiers who surrendered. He killed them to avoid Tai Ah's defeat. How could Heng not know about the change of position between host and guest?"
"On the contrary, the general is not like other yellow turban leaders. First, he does not coerce the useless people, and secondly, he does not forcefully recruit the defeated army. This is the clear understanding of the situation that is not swayed by the small gains in front of him."
"Don't say that other so-called Qu Commanders, even princes from all walks of life, may not be as courageous and resolute as they used to be."
After a pause, Mi Heng drank the Kou tea, and then said to Wang Zhengchen:
"Heng originally wanted to go to Jingzhou, but he heard that the general chose to enter Xuzhou at the end of the year. Combined with the fact that the general was in trouble that day, he felt that the general had a good grasp of the situation and timing, so he changed his itinerary and came to Xuzhou together."
"Later, I heard that the generals in various cities in Xuzhou no longer used Qingzhou to break up their families and take advantage of their wealth and coerce the refugees, and even issued a talent-seeking order in Linyi. I was quite heartbroken!"
Not bad, keep praising, don’t stop!
Seeing Mi Heng confessing his feelings and the purpose of his visit, the two of them looked at each other, and the previous conflicts and suspicions were immediately resolved.
After another toast with tea and wine, Wang Zheng decided to get back to business, with a solemn expression on his face, he asked:
"Sir, you have just listed the enemies on all sides, and I agree with it. I am just about to ask for advice on how to break this dangerous situation."
