Chapter 33 The yellow scarf of the stars can start a prairie
Seeing that the archer was unwilling to talk about the past, Guan Yu was not angry.
After all, Guan Yu's temper is just like to get along with the grassroots. Moreover, he himself has been a fugitive in the desperate world for several years, and he knows the hidden pain.
So he said gently: "The Duke of the Ministry does not know the origin of a person, but he must have a origin. What is your name and who is your person? You have to say it."
The archer thought for a while and bowed and said, "I am here in Taishici, a native of Donglai, who is desperate for the world for some reason. Please don't ask the rest."
"It turned out to be a desperate world. What's the point? There are so many unfair things in the world now! Eight years ago, when I was nineteen, I killed a large family in Hedong, and I was exiled for two or three years before I could make friends with the Duke and fight the Yellow Turban to kill the thieves in the country.
The Lord of the House has always been the most willing to protect the desperate chivalrous warriors. I am now in charge of being a chief lieutenant and a title of Marquis of Guannei, which is also considered to be a glorious ancestor. The Grand Historian, I see that you have extraordinary arch books, but you can have the words to express them in the future. There is no need to worry about the level of official positions. As for what you have done before, it doesn’t matter at all."
Guan Yu's attitude can be described as a joyful expression. Liu Bei and Li Su, who were watching coldly, were speechless.
Alas, Guan Yu's temper was even more excited when he heard that he was a wanted criminal. I don't know when this problem will be changed.
It can only be said that everyone's path dependence is. Whoever makes Guan Yu suffer the hardship of a wanted criminal, he always fantasizes about the wanted criminal being a generous and heroic man.
When Taishi Ci heard that Guan Yu was so generous and revealed his past, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and quickly answered questions: "I never thought that the Duwei had such an experience. However, Ci was too restricted. In the following table, every word is meaningful, and this year he is 21 years old.
I was an official from Donglai County, but because I was a little guilty when handling the affairs of the prefectures and counties, I crossed the sea to avoid disaster. Since the emperor and the chief lieutenant can take shelter, I should tell you if you have any questions."
"It turns out it's Taishi Ziyi, I am Liu Bei. When I arrive in Liaodong, I no longer have to worry about the conflicts on the official side." Liu Bei behind him then spoke out and greeted Taishi Ci.
Guan Yu quickly turned around and saluted: "Brother came to inspect, but he didn't know. At noon, Yide said that his elder brother wanted to entertain the famous scholar Guan Ning, and he thought he would not come to the school to patrol today."
Guan Yu treated famous scholars in a completely opposite way to Zhang Fei, especially looking down on Guan Ning's kind of polite etiquette.
So when he heard that Liu Bei was entertaining Guan Ning, he wanted to hide from a distance alone and train troops to exert force. So that today's soldiers all worked very hard and had to bear the extra anger of Guan Duwei.
Otherwise, Guan Yu would not have personally supervised the archery assessment of the new recruits. If you want to select the best and find a few talents, everything can only be said to be a coincidence.
It has been four or five days since Taishi Ci joined the army. At the beginning, he was just a little old and had nowhere to stay. He wanted to find a place to make a living, and then slowly made a long-term plan. Today he encountered the opportunity to perform. Seeing that Guan Yu was only talented, he showed his skills.
When he saw Liu Bei and Li Su, Taishi Ci also quickly saluted: "Gours to the Lord of the House."
Liu Bei immediately held the other party's elbow: "No need to be polite. Troubled times are the time when heroes make achievements. The top and bottom of the title are not worthy of the truth. If you have talent and ambition, you can't go anywhere in the world!"
Taishici: "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for your encouragement."
Liu Bei pulled Taishi Ci to the side, looking very friendly to the people: "Zi Yicha said that he came here to avoid disaster after encountering official business mistakes in Donglai. You might as well say in detail. Since you are in Liaodong, as long as you serve the country and kill the enemy, you will always have a chance to do it again."
Seeing that Liu Bei was so ignorant of his status and respect for his wise men, Taishi Ci completely revealed: "I was an official from Donglai County, and I should take the entrustedness of the lord of the government in all my actions. Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, and Tang Tao, the prefect of Donglai, were not in line with him. In the past two years, whenever I encountered local government omissions, I often went to Luoyang to submit memorials and blamed them on the other party.
This time, it was the spring plowing season at the beginning of the year. The Huqi of Wusu tribes in Taishan County and the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou spread to Donglai, causing trouble. The Tang prefect could not defend, so he could only let the Yellow Turban pass through, and was afraid that the governor Jiao would spread the Yellow Turbans and commit crimes on him.
I sent me to the capital to take the letter to the capital, and before the envoy of the governor... I took the credit. However, Donglai is located in the eastern part of Qingzhou, and the journey to Luoyang is farther than that of the prefecture. When I arrived in Luoyang with fast horses, I found that the messenger of the envoy had already arrived at the same inn, waiting to submit the letter in order.
In order to be in vain, I had to pretend to be the one who was collecting the imperial court, and deceived the messenger to take out the seal, seize and tear it down, and intimidate him to die because of concerns about the crime of destroying the seal. Only then did I submit the seal of the imperial court to the prison before the envoy. However, I was also guilty of this and knew that I could not report it, so I crossed Shamen Island and came to Liaodong to commit suicide."
The Shaman Island mentioned by Taishici is the Miao Island Island between the Shandong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula in later generations.
This place has been called a monk since the Qin and Han Dynasties. I have seen ancient people like the Sui and Tang Dynasties and Water Margin. I am generally familiar with this place because it is the place where the most serious criminals were exiled in all dynasties.
This place is also a must-pass place for crossing the sea from Donglai to Liaodong during the Han Dynasty. The hiding of the island chain in the middle is the most dangerous outlaw in the world. Almost everyone has more than one serious case of death.
Only those who commit crimes like Taishici dare to land in Liaodong. Those who are the most serious crimes will fish on the island and will never land on the mainland again in their lifetime.
After hearing this, Liu Bei could not comment on Taishi Ci's actions, but only comforted him, "This is all a trivial matter. Since he was entrusted by someone to be loyal to others, it is also worth it."
But then, Liu Bei couldn't help but complain about the governor of Qingzhou and the prefect of Donglai: "How is the blessing of the people when acting like this between governor Jiao and prefect of Tang? Qingzhou's Yellow Turbans are flooded and plundering the local area. What's the use of shirking responsibility? You should focus on how to wipe out the Yellow Turbans!"
Li Su was a little calmer. He did not immediately evaluate this matter. He just carefully compared history in his heart and roughly deduced the changes in the butterfly effect here. In general, the butterfly effect was not obvious. Only by looking at the heavy Three Kingdoms game enthusiasts in his previous life, the glorious biographies of the Three Kingdoms in the past dynasties, can you see it.
According to the original historical development trajectory, Taishici should have come to Liaodong to avoid disaster, and the reason is also for the state. The county chief took the blame in the memorial to the court and the competition-
Because the government was relatively lazy at that time, if one of the state or county had already submitted a memorial to explain the situation and the second unit's memorial was sent, the provincial government would probably not look at it carefully, but instead thought that "this matter has been handled, and multiple yamen reported the same matter repeatedly."
Therefore, whoever arrives first will have great benefits to whoever you can push the blame to the other party. From this point, we can also see how serious the lazy government of the late Han Dynasty was.
However, Taishici should not have come to Liaodong so early in history, so the butterfly effect is reflected here - because Liu Bei intercepted Zhang Ju and forced Wusu to Mount Tai to become a bandit, which also forced the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans to become bigger several months earlier than the same period in history.
Therefore, this time, the reason why Taishici had to take the risk to destroy the governor's memorial became "the governor and the prefecture kept from escaping from the Yellow Turban Army." Otherwise, Taishici should have been able to work for a year or two, and then he would take the blame for other things.
All I can say is fate.
Li Suzheng was worried that he had no chance to persuade Liu Bei not to be content with the status quo, so he quickly made a statement: "Brother, don't blame the prefect Tang and governor Jiao for the rise of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou. The seeds were still the thousand Hu cavalry of Wusu under Zhang Ju.
After all, we drove out the thieves back then. But we didn't expect that Wusu, who was beaten to the ground in Youzhou, would be so terrible when he arrived in Qingzhou. Since he loved the people, when Zhang Chun was appointed as the leader, why not advise the envoys to use Mi Zhu's fleet to cross the strait to Donglai and attack the thieves in the North Sea?
Even if the Yellow Turban Thiefs in Qingzhou are too powerful to be destroyed, at least they can be killed by Wusu, which is a good beginning and end. We will not leave anyone with our Youzhou generals to drive the thieves out of the country and let them harm the bad reputation of other states."
Liu Bei raised his eyebrows: "Crossing the border to attack the thief? Will it violate the taboo of the court?"
Li Su: "Of course I have to ask for my life, and there is no need to rush for a moment. As the first state governor in the world, I was set up to act for the sake of the court and eliminate all evil. Of course, I have the right to pursue the thief army that originated in Youzhou and escaped from the state. However, I must grasp the degree. Once Wusu is killed, it is better to retreat to Liaodong and obey the court's arrangements."
When Taishi Ci heard this, he couldn't help but admire him. He bowed to Liu Bei and said with emotion: "Ci has been an official for three years since he was eighteen years old. He has only seen local herds guards fearing the thieves like tigers and shirking responsibility. He has never seen the elder loyal and righteous who actively crossed the border to help friendly troops kill the thieves to suppress the rebellion. The benevolent and kind-hearted king of the palace is the only one who has seen Ci in his life. Ci was Donglai, and the people of Beihai thanked the prince of the palace!"
"Hey, Ziyi, please get up quickly. Bei will act all his life, and he will be a good start and end. Wusu was defeated and fled by me and Qu Yi. But I didn't expect that only Youzhou's people are strong, Qing and Yan's people are so cowardly that they actually made the little thief start the prairie again. Alas, if I had known this before, even if I paid a little more, Bei would have joined forces with Qu Yi to encircle and destroy Wusu!"
Taishici explained fairly: "This cannot be blamed on the Duke. The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou are so rampant, and it is because they have accumulated too much public grievances. Otherwise, what can I do with just a thousand Hu cavalry of Wusu? Wusu is just a spark that ignited firewood piles."
Liu Bei helped Taishi Ci up and thought for a moment: "So, in the morning, Guan Ning, Beihai and Bing Yuan crossed the sea to join the camp because of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou? Ziyi just said that the traitors in Beihai County are no less violent than Donglai."
Taishici quickly introduced what he knew in detail: "That's true, just because the rebels were afraid that the court would send troops to encircle and suppress them, they all curled up on the peninsula. There is Mount Tai in the east of Qingzhou, which is covered by Mount Meng, and the terrain is complex. Once the rebels Tai and Meng are covered, they can be unscrupulous on the peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides.
The imperial court dispatched troops from other states, but it was difficult to reach quickly, so it was unexpectedly encircled and suppressed. Therefore, the rebels became increasingly favorable to rage on the peninsula. If the prince was willing to help and walked on the sea, then Donglai and Beihai were on the north bank of the peninsula, facing Liaodong, and they would definitely be able to attack him unprepared."
Liu Bei nodded: "When Zhang Chun was awarded the title, the time was right, and I would ask for a comprehensive advice. I would suddenly send troops secretly. At that time, we will use Mount Tai as the boundary. Our Liaodong soldiers will follow the benefits of the navy's transportation to clear the Yellow Turbans on the north bank of the peninsula and the North Sea. But we should not speak vainly into the mainland. As for the west of Mount Tai, we will hand them over to the imperial army."
This topic stopped, and Liu Bei then pulled Li Su and Taishi Ci to discuss with Guan Yu how to capture the Liao Tun City in front of him next.
Taishici also knew that he had taken down the Liao Tunnel and Xiangping, and had hope to save Donglai's elders when he went back to save the elders of Donglai, so he worked very hard.
He was just a single person before and fled here for fear of crime, so his mother still lives in his hometown in Donglai. Now Kong Rong has not become the prefect of Beihai, so there is no one in Taishici's family to take care of him. Of course, he hopes to help Liu Bei conquer Liaodong as soon as possible and use Liu Bei's troops to go back to save his family.
