23. The Central Plains War (Prologue)(1/2)

"Brother, you are going too far. My second brother and I are so sad!"

Spring is here, everything begins to revive, the grass grows and orioles fly, and the jasmine flowers continue to spread the breath of spring to all around with their proud appearance, while attracting beautiful bees and butterflies to carry out the ancient customs from ancient times.

etiquette.

This is a season full of vitality. This is a season when life sprouts. Everything begins a new reincarnation from here. All new life begins to be conceived from here. You can see various animals everywhere using their own methods.

To pursue the opposite sex that makes their hearts beat, fight, show off, sing... just to spread the information that they once existed in this world to the world.

As advanced animals, humans seem to be unable to violate the laws of nature.

"Second brother, third brother, this... you see, Wan Niang and I are related by my uncle's father. Yide knows that since my brother's biological father passed away, without my uncle's constant support, I am afraid that my brother and his widowed mother would have

He had long since starved to death in a foreign country, so my brother always regarded his uncle as his biological father, so my uncle decided on this marriage for my brother.

Things are just like the orders of parents, which cannot be violated. As for Qian'er, her parents died at a young age, leaving her alone. It is not easy to come all the way from Pei State, just to admire the reputation of our brothers.

The two younger brothers would never want the children who trust us to be homeless and killed by thieves..."

"Brother..."

.

Then he properly expressed his disapproval of the elder brother for neglecting the two younger brothers for other reasons. He also threw out the bait of wanting to sleep in the same bed with the two younger brothers, which immediately made the two of them forget about themselves.

The purpose of the trip.

Of course, maybe their goal has been achieved, but that's not necessarily true.

"Liu Shijun, news has just arrived that Mr. Zhou Mu hopes you can go to Tancheng. It seems that there are important things to discuss."

Just when the three of them were thinking about the "good life" at night, a slightly bookish voice destroyed the increasingly rich pink atmosphere here. It was a pity that they saw who came, and even the always grumpy Third Master also

The fire in my chest suddenly went out, and I could only mumble there. I didn’t know what to say. It was probably nothing more than cursing the other person for buying instant noodles without any ingredients.

Of course, the last sentence was purely a joke.

"It turns out to be Yuan Long. Just now I was thinking that it was time to return after you have been out for such a long time, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. I wonder what Yuan Long feels about this trip, and whether he encountered any dangers? In addition, Yuan Long

Long is well-informed. I wonder what important matters Tao Shijun summoned Bei to discuss at this time?"

"Haha. Liu Shijun must treat Deng as a child. There are just mountain bandits, and Deng can drive them away for the envoy. As for Tao Shijun, I'm afraid Liu Shijun already knows it. Otherwise, why would I be outside the city?

In front of the military camp, I saw a lot of people going there

Apply, and Tao Shijun ordered Liu Shijun to recruit Taishan Zang Ba, Sun Kang, Sun Guan and other thieves, in the name of crusading against the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and the traitor Que Xuan who proclaimed himself emperor in Xiapi, but Que Xuan and his like are nothing more than local chickens and dogs, so how can they be used?

To get a hero like Liu Shijun."

It turned out that the person who came was Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong from Xiapi. His father was Chen Gui, who had served as Prime Minister of Pei. His uncle was even more famous - Chen, a famous minister of Yongle Shaofu who had served as Taiwei, Sikong and Ling Emperor Liu Hong.

ball.

Well, talking about Chen Qiu is really interesting. Let’s not mention other glorious deeds. Let’s just mention that when he was in charge of the Yongle Shaofu, that is, the royal internal affairs, he was arranged by Liu Hong to build the late emperor.

, that is, the work on the mausoleum of Emperor Huan Liu Zhi. As a result, this person not only did not extravagance and waste, but also saved a lot. It is said in history that "he saved more than tens of thousands." This shows what kind of person this person is, among the scholars.

What kind of influence does it have?

Although he was imprisoned and died in the end because he was involved in a political struggle with eunuchs, his life was worthy of his talents. Under his education, outstanding men like Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son emerged from the Chen family in Xiapi.

The heroic men not only preserved themselves and their families in the turmoil and mystery of the late Han Dynasty, but also made great achievements, which is admirable.

It is also worth mentioning that according to the research of some descendants, the Pi Chen family was not originally surnamed Chen, but was a descendant of the Han clan surnamed Liu. It was just because of the persecution of the clan surnamed Liu during Wang Mang's chaos.

So he hid his name in the countryside to avoid trouble. As for why he didn't change his surname back later to recognize his ancestors, it can only be an eternal mystery.

However, the above statement is just a family statement. No one can say whether history is really like this. However, it cannot be denied that the Chen family in Xiapi has extraordinary influence in Xuzhou, and Chen Deng is the leader of this generation.

Outstanding.

Although Chen Deng did not become Xiaolian until he was twenty-five years old, he immediately went to Dongyang County, Guangling County to serve as the county magistrate. During his tenure, he raised the orphans and educated the people, especially the water thieves who had been causing trouble to the local area for many years.

He showed his extremely comprehensive abilities in both civil and military affairs. This also led Tao Qian, who came to Xuzhou to serve as governor, to immediately promote him to Diannong Xiaowei to deal with the serious famine situation in Xuzhou due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

It can be seen that with Chen Deng's ability and background, there will be no obstacles to his career in Xuzhou.

But it happened that at this time, Tao Qian, a descendant of a local Xuzhou family who worked for Tao Qian, gave up his original job and chose to work under Liu Bei soon after Liu Bei came to Xuzhou. The reason was just that when Liu Bei first came to Xuzhou, he was working as a Diannong School.

Lieutenant Chen Deng cooperated with him for some reasons for a period of time, and then the two people who had met so late felt that they were "sticky" together.

It can be said that apart from the two brothers, Chen Deng should be the person who knows Liu Bei the best so far. He even understands Liu Bei better than Pan Gong and Zhang Fei. After all, the latter two's feelings for Liu Bei depend on the life and death of their brothers.

Friendship has made them often not interpret some of Liu Bei's actions. For them, just supporting him is enough.

Therefore, Chen Deng is like Liu Bei's close confidant. Although the two brothers are like a married couple who share weal and woe, Chen Deng, a talkative flower, is also an irreplaceable presence in Liu Bei's life.

Huh? I always feel that the surrounding atmosphere seems a little strange, as if a handsome guy with twelve pairs of black wings on his back is waving to me, and if I answer this call, it seems that the whole world will become very different.

.

Ahem, let’s get back to the main story.

Although Pan Gong, a man who lives in the lower class society, felt a little strange about Chen Deng's initiative to join him, he didn't think much about it when he saw that he and his eldest brother were chatting happily and seemed to regret meeting each other so late.

After all, the family behind Chen Deng has great influence in Xuzhou, even if it is just

Associating with Liu Bei on an equal footing will be of great benefit to Liu Bei who has just arrived. Not to mention taking the initiative to help Liu Bei as a supporting role. Even if Liu Bei has little reputation in the Han Dynasty, it is only for military force after all.

Even if you have a good teacher, you still have some inherent shortcomings.

As for Master Zhang... well, there are three types of people that Zhang Laosan admires most in his life - those who can fight as well as him, those who are more knowledgeable than him and those who can drink better than him. As for whether they are male or female, it doesn't matter.

Don't come in. Don't you see that a certain lolita that has all three things makes Lao Zhang stunned. When he saw it, he was like a mouse meeting a cat, and he was more respectful than he was to his own father.

Although Chen Deng cannot compare with the third master in terms of martial arts, and his drinking capacity can only be regarded as that of an average person. But he is not only full of real talents and knowledge, but more importantly, he is generous and has a strong appetite for the third master. He does not even need to be friends with him.

He gained his approval.

With the help of Chen Deng, Liu Bei not only met the Mi Zhu brothers from the East China Sea, Ying Shao from Runan, Ying Zhongyuan, the prefect of Taishan, Bian Chang, Bian Wenli, the former prefect of Jiujiang from Chenliu, and other celebrities, but he also got Sun Gongyou from Sun Qian.

Yuan Huan and Yuan Yaoqing are like this

With outstanding capable officials, Liu Bei not only continued to maintain his military strength, but also greatly improved his internal politics. Not only did the people of Langye County under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, but also people from surrounding counties came to join him.

.

It can be said that in less than half a year, with Liu Bei's personal charm and Chen Deng's full support, Liu Bei's army has become the second-ranked power group in Tao Qian's army, and is almost as popular as Tao Qian, the number one master.

The best among the army

Cao Bao of the Danyang Army Corps. Even counting the Taishan thieves who had taken refuge with Tao Qian but were relatively independent, and the Xuzhou business tycoon Donghai Mi Family who had a close relationship with Liu Bei, Liu Bei's influence could even be equal to that of Zhou Mu.

Tao Qian competed.

Therefore, even if Tao Qian, who is Xuzhou's pastor, wants to carry out any major actions now, he cannot avoid Liu Bei's figure.

This is indeed a surprising speed of development.

But this is by no means the most surprising.

What is really most surprising is Tao Qian's attitude on this matter as a pastor in Xuzhou.

Faced with Liu Bei's growing influence, Xuzhou's unshakable ruler didn't even look anxious. Even if there was some bad blood between Liu Bei and his first general, Cao Bao, he did not take the opportunity to favor Cao Bao and suppress Liu Bei. In this way,

Liu Bei's behavior not only moved Liu Bei, but also made people wonder: Can the already old Tao Qian and his two sons who are not very talented be able to control Liu Bei's dragon in a hundred years?

But no matter what, judging from the current situation, at least when Tao Qian was alive, his status was as stable as Mount Tai. As for what happened after his death... Let alone the battle between the two Yuan Dynasties that determined the future direction of the Central Plains political territory, it was enough to attract everyone.

According to the eyes of some knowledgeable people, even if something really happens in Xuzhou, in the eyes of many people, it will be insignificant in the face of the pressing pressure of Er Yuan, who is destined to regard Xuzhou as his important development direction.

Obviously, under Er Yuan's powerful halo, it seems that too many hidden ninjas have been covered up. However, even these people whose light has been hidden hope to play a role in the upcoming war that matches Er Yuan's inner script.

Different characters.

"...So this time we will gather our troops to completely destroy the traitor Que Xuan. We will annex Peixian secretly and be ready to attack Yanzhou from the flank at any time to cheer for the general. What do you think?"

No one who was qualified to participate in this meeting showed any expressions such as surprise or surprise after hearing this sentence. Although they also did not make any gestures of approval or even praise, no one seemed to intend to object.

Look.

Rather, it is better to say that they have been mentally prepared for the decision itself and have made enough preparations in accordance with the decision. Today's memories on this issue are just a formality.

"I am already old. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, I am already half dead. I am not going to deny this. But although I was admitted to the public examination very early, I started working in the state and county, and was later promoted.

As a Maocai, he worked his way from Shuxian magistrate to Yilang, and also served as the governor of Youzhou. But he never thought about it.

After experiencing the disaster of being imprisoned by the party, I was forced to live in seclusion in the countryside for the sake of justice in my heart. It was not until the Yellow Turbans rebelled that I had the opportunity to serve the Han Dynasty again. So although it does seem that I am not as energetic and energetic as the young people, I don't want it in my heart.

Because of his age, he is willing to be a mediocre guy.

So after I came to Xuzhou, I quelled the rebellious bandits with the help of the princes, so that the tired people would no longer be harassed by hunger and cold. I gave them the opportunity to become rich, and then educated them and let them know how to do it.

Only in this way can we maintain this abundance.

But this country is now in a huge disaster, and the people of this country are now in a huge disaster. The rebels are rebelling. They use small favors to lure the people into becoming accomplices of the rebels. They use powerful force to coerce ordinary people.

The people have become rebellious thieves. This world is so chaotic and crazy. I, Tao Gongzu, am not talented, but I don’t want to continue like this.

Beihai Kong Wenju. Such an outstanding person. If he had been placed in the Qing Dynasty, he would have become a good official for education. But now his whole family has died at the hands of traitors, and the inheritance of culture has been cut off. Hearing this news made me

I couldn't eat for several days, because this was not the death of one or two people, but a barbaric trampling of civilization, which made people heartbroken.

So I hope that everyone in Xuzhou can understand how absurd it is to think that just by taking care of the things in front of you, you can prevent Xuzhou from falling into chaos. The chaos of this era is always harassing those who
To be continued...
