"I hope that everyone can live freely under the sky of the Han Dynasty, but you hope that everyone can live safely in the territory of the Han Dynasty. Master, how come you have never thought about this? I always felt that you were very
Mysterious, now I understand, it turns out that you are Mr. Mo Zhai's disciple, but can you accomplish what your master couldn't accomplish? There is already a fool named Zhang Jiao in the world, and maybe in the near future, there will be more
I guess I got a fool named Li Xue."
It seems that because his wish was fulfilled, Zhang Jiao slept so well that when he woke up, he even felt that he had enough strength to support him in launching another large-scale spell.
Of course, Zhang Jiao also knew very well that this feeling was not real. It was just a feeling of relief after he had relieved himself of the burden that had been weighing on his heart. At the same time, he did not rule out that this was just a reflection of his past.
performance.
"However, who said that you and I are both stupid and stupid? My power represents the ultimate yin, but your body exudes the bright yang energy. It's a pity that I finally woke up a little late. But that's not it.
It’s too late, at least I saw that the seeds of Huang Tian Taiping have been planted, I just hope you can cultivate it to maturity, I believe the fruit will surprise you.”
Still wearing the crane cloak that had been washed a little white, Zhang Jiao stood quietly on the observatory built in the Guangzong City Lord's Palace, looking up at the vast starry sky. His inner world at this moment was so peaceful. He
I feel as if my mind is immersed in the Milky Way, feeling the light that seems irregular but moves in an inevitable pattern in the vast mist.
"This may be the realm that the teacher once mentioned. Unfortunately, the foundation of my physical body has been completely decayed and it is no longer possible for me to fully understand this realm. But what does it matter? At least I have seen it before.
Well, my teacher."
"It seems that you have indeed reached that level. Not bad. With such a destiny, you can still rely on your own efforts to achieve this step. Your qualifications are indeed extraordinary. It's just a pity..."
I don't know when, an old man with gray hair appeared on the observatory. It was Zhang Jiao's master Nanhua Laoxian.
"What's the pity? I've tried hard, and although I failed in the end, it's just like why my state that I haven't been able to improve for a long time has been improved at this time, because at this time I have no worries. I have two orders.
I am an enviable good brother, and I have a lovely daughter who is not my biological child but is better than my own. I also have a little guy who can inherit my ideals. Be content with what you have, isn't this the first lesson you taught me, master?"
Zhang Jiao, who has reached a new level, no longer has the respect he had for the old immortal Nanhua. Instead, he has a tone as if he is a friend of his own generation. But what is even more surprising is that the old immortal Nanhua treats Zhang Jiao
The transformation is not only lifeless, but also
And he seemed very happy. Not only did he patiently listen to his apprentice's confession, but he also laughed happily, and then appeared next to Zhang Jue in an instant, gently caressing Zhang Jue with his withered but powerful right hand.
cheeks, and then suddenly disappeared completely.
"Teacher, please take care of yourself..." As if he understood the intention of the old immortal Nanhua, Zhang Jiao had tears streaming down his face...
"Fengxian, how are the statistics? How many people are willing to participate in the Xiliang Cavalry's job transfer test?"
Li Shushi, who had no idea that Zhang Jue had put his ideals on his shoulders, was still asking Lu Bu expectantly about his transfer to the Xiliang Cavalry.
At this time, two days had passed since the banquet with Dong Zhuo. Liu Bei was a little disheartened because of the arrest of his mentor Lu Zhi. However, after Li Shushi's persuasion, he had decided to go south to join Zhu Jun, the general of You Zhonglang. The general You Zhonglang admired the good warrior general who claimed to be a descendant of the royal family and was a descendant of the great scholar Lu Zhi, so Liu Bei believed that he still had a chance to make meritorious deeds.
Li Shushi called his men together the morning after the banquet and told everyone the good news that Dong Zhuo had promised to be transferred to the Xiliang Cavalry. The generals expressed their sincere gratitude to Dong Zhuo for his generosity. However, compared to the excitement of the generals, the reaction of the civilian officials was much calmer. No, the reactions of some people even looked worried.
"My lord, this Dong Zhuo is probably a very deep-minded guy. He has a powerful profession like the Xiliang Cavalry but can still lose to the Yellow Turban Army, which is at the end of its strength. I'm afraid he has a big agenda. If you rashly get involved with him, If it does, I'm afraid it will have quite a negative impact on our development both now and in the future."
Although Cheng Yu was not very clear about Dong Zhuo's reputation on the northern border, he was very aware of the status of the Xiliang cavalry in the Han army. He also knew that the generals who mastered this profession were all among the best in the Han army. General. The Han Dynasty would never hand over this army to an incompetent general. Then, Dong Zhuo's actions are worth pondering.
"My lord, although Luan is a woman, since I was promoted by my lord to participate in the discussion, I have to say a few words. Dong Zhuo's name Luan was also mentioned by some people when he and his husband traveled far and wide. It seems that he is a son of a good family from the border area of Liangzhou. .Although he came from a powerful family and was quite generous, he often behaved in extreme ways. And because he started his career with martial arts and was a powerful person living in a place where the Qiang people lived together, he seemed not to be accepted by the Central Plains aristocratic families. , so there are rumors that he has become the eunuch's thug."
Since Wu Luan can become a qualified equestrian, although her intellectual potential is not as good as Cheng Yu's, she is still much stronger than most people present. In addition, she needs to help her somewhat weak husband deal with various things. , so his horizons are much larger than those of Cheng Yu, who is teaching and studying in Dong'a and barely sees anything happening outside the window.
Because of this, compared to Cheng Yu's guess which only started from the details, Wu Luan's words pointed directly at Dong Zhuo's vital points.
"I understand what Lihuang said very well, but for us, dating Dong Zhuo is the most realistic choice for us now. I believe everyone knows what Pan Gong said that day. In fact, in the eyes of some people, one who comes from a secluded background There is not much difference between me and Dong Zhuo, who was born in Liangzhou, and even worse, because we don’t have the rich martial arts as Dong Zhuo to support us. So, for us now, who we associate with is secondary, the key is to Strengthen yourself to survive this chaotic period.”
"My lord, aren't you afraid of arousing the wrath of the imperial court by doing this?" Cheng Yu was very worried about the pronunciation of some of Li Shushi's words.
"Zhongde, you should also know that although our sage is very smart, he behaves too dissolutely. The two princes are still young. If something unexpected happens, then according to the current situation, will there be a Zhao Zhao in the Han Dynasty?
Gao, even if there is a Liang Ji, I believe that no matter what the situation is, the world will not be peaceful. As for us, now I am afraid that the court still needs us to defend them from the increasingly restless Hu people in the north, so we are a little out of line.
No problem."
Therefore, although the civil servants felt that Li Shushi's inference about the future of the Han Empire was a bit pessimistic, it was undeniable that this was indeed the worst result for the future development of the Han Dynasty. Of course, this result could not be said to be the best for Li Shushi's army.
The development is also a pretty good environment.
If their army wants to survive or even open up the situation, then a stable but decadent Han Dynasty is obviously their natural enemy. And under the protection of an empire that is tending to collapse, they can obviously obtain more through their own efforts.
Great development without worrying about being stabbed by sharp blades from the dark.
In the end, there were five generals who wanted to be transferred to the Xiliang Cavalry, including Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu and Le Jin. In addition, Guan Yu, who was far away in Xihe, was also booked by Li Shushi because of his heaven-defying attributes.
The Xiliang Cavalry profession. Of course, another candidate is Li Shushi himself, who has extremely low attribute values, so there are actually seven people in total.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu are both satisfied with their careers. Although the Xiliang cavalry is also quite good at mountain warfare, Xu Chu's dream of being a righteous thief will not be easily shaken. Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu also have the same idea as Xu Chu.
.
These two are the direct disciples of old man Tong Yuan, and naturally they respect the light cavalry profession that Tong Yuan works for. Guan Hai also seems to have great affection for the Yellow Turban Army, a profession that he has unforgettable memories for, so he doesn't want to think about it for the moment.
Let go.
The remaining few were either insufficient in ability or quite satisfied with the professions they had already worked in, and finally gave up the opportunity to change professions. Of course, Li Shushi also understood the advantages of combining multiple arms, so he could also handle such a result.
accept.
But the most depressing one among them is probably Xiao Caochun. Although the Xiliang cavalry can be said to be the most ideal profession for his heavy cavalry in his mind, he himself is too young and not a person with outstanding potential.
So after thinking carefully, he finally gave up on this selection. But because of this, his little face was full of grievances and unwillingness.
In desperation, Li Shushi had no choice but to comfort the young lady, who was a little older than him, and said that Dong Zhuo had said privately that if Li Shushi himself was indeed of considerable standard, he would not mind it for the sake of Tong Yuan and Li Yan.
Give him the job transfer method of the Xiliang Cavalry. In other words, he, Cao Chun, will have many opportunities in the future.
Yes, Dong Zhuo did give Li Shushi a big gift. Because Dong Zhuo and Li Ru knew very well that although it didn't matter that they could dominate the local area, they faced too much resistance in the central government.
Big.
Although Li Shushi was able to inherit the influential Xihe Li family, he himself came from a lower class and was not even as good as Dong Zhuo, the "rich second generation". Naturally, he did not have the prejudice against Dong Zhuo that the children of those aristocratic families had.
What's more important is the relationship behind Li Shushi. Whether it is the Yan family, the Zhen family in Jizhou, or the Cao family in Qiao County, they are all powerful second-rate families in the Han Dynasty. Especially the Yan family, although they have not produced any figures like the Three Gongs and Nine Qings.
But a family that could often create a group of prefects and magistrates was what Dong Zhuo needed.
Dong Zhuo's goal is to become one of the Three Dukes like Duan Jiong, one of his idols, but he does not want to have to rely entirely on eunuchs to achieve this goal. Moreover, Dong Zhuo is also aware of the hidden dangers of the Han Dynasty.
How can you be willing to do so?
Liangzhou is the most discriminated place among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. What Dong Zhuo wants to do is to repeat what the first emperor and the ancestors of the pre-Qin Dynasty did, and let a nation that was once regarded as a barbarian
, and finally reached the pinnacle of power. Therefore, as long as the performance of Li Shushi, a potential ally, is not too bad, Dong Zhuo still has the ambition to inherit the Xiliang Cavalry.
