Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-Second: A man should be like this
"Yesterday was the first time, today may be the second time, or there may not be a second time..." This is Cao Cao.
"It doesn't matter whether there is a second time. What's important is to take this opportunity to show off the style of my clan members and deter those with evil intentions!" This is Liu Bei.
The entire city of Luoyang moved according to Liu Bei's will.
A large number of clan disciples automatically gathered under Liu Bei's wings. They wore fiery red armor, with a red tassel tied to their helmets, and even the sword's blade was painted red.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people cannot wear armor, and even ordinary people cannot own armor.
However, these are the backbones of the clan, and of course they have privileges. What's more, Liu Bei had already reported to Emperor Ling before taking action.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"Move quickly,"
Seeing the bright red everywhere in the streets and alleys, Liu Fan gently patted his younger brothers Liu Dan and Liu Zhang.
"Second brother, third brother, the thief is not simple this time, please be more careful later."
"They didn't leave any hands or feet behind. Dozens of Qi Refiners traced back the past with their spiritual power, but found nothing. Dozens of experienced old officials worked together to solve the case and inquired about the details, but they only came to the conclusion that these books appeared suddenly...
…”
"Xuande is the leader of our generation. He personally wrote an invitation, so we must take action. So this time, for Xuande's sake, we brought out half of the old tricks left by our father."
Liu Yan has now become the governor of Yizhou, but his three sons have all stayed in Luoyang. This has been the unspoken rule throughout the ages.
The generals are away, or the ministers are away, and your family members remain in the capital as hostages. If you dare to rebel, the emperor will kill your whole family directly, leaving you with no descendants.
Just like Guo Wei, he met a strange emperor, and the emperor killed his whole family without leaving a single son. The youngest son who was still in his infancy was also killed.
What could Guo Weineng do next? He could only rebel, but even if he succeeded in his rebellion, his whole family would still be killed. In desperation, he had no choice but to pass the country to his adopted son Chai Rong.
In the historical Liu Yan, both his eldest son and his son died, leaving only the ineffective Liu Zhang alive and returned to Yizhou. It happened that Liu Yan's old injury recurred, so Liu Zhang naturally became the shepherd of Yizhou.
At this moment, when Liu Yan went to Yizhou to suppress the rebels and train Dongzhou soldiers, he would definitely have to leave some retainers and trump cards for his three sons.
At this moment, in order to help Liu Bei, Liu Fan directly sent fifty veterans under Liu Yan without saying a word.
Most of these veterans were trained by Liu Yan when he was the governor of Nanyang. They have followed Liu Yan for many years and are all trustworthy.
Although they are not Tao soldiers, they are also extraordinary people who have trained their Qi and blood. They are said to be soldiers, but in fact they are low-level disciples.
These veterans are proficient in military formations, familiar with military disciplines, and understand basic common sense. Each one of them is a qualified commander. With them as the backbone and supplemented by a large number of elites, they will immediately become a qualified army.
When suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising a few years ago, Lu Zhihuangfusong took some of the elite members of the Northern Army, the Sanhe elite cavalry, and a large number of conscripted good men to train and go to the battlefield.
Such veterans and qualified village chiefs are the real foundation. In the Da Meng Dynasty after the Tumubao Incident, I am afraid that the Duke's Palace would have to be able to come up with so much in one go.
"However, at this moment, those who dare to directly cause trouble are definitely not simple characters. They may even be targeting His Majesty and the General."
Speaking of this, Liu Fan became a little excited.
There are so many clan members in the world, so why can some get ahead and others not?
"So, after reading the letter, I lent out half of the veterans my father left behind without saying a word. Next, if you want to be on the safe side, stay at home and study hard."
"If you want to take advantage of the opportunity, then go out with Brother Wei, but this also means risks. At this moment, it is not easy to dare to do this. There are only a few forces in the world who can do this.
Already."
After a while, Liu Fan and Liu Dan left Liu Yan's mansion, while Liu Zhang chose to stay at home to study.
After meeting the two brothers, Liu Bei smiled slightly, held their hands cordially, and chatted and laughed with them, making them feel like they were in the spring breeze.
This is the charm of Liu Bei and Liu Xuande!
Most people will fall in love with Liu Bei just by taking one look at him. It is difficult for you to hate this kind of person.
"Qi'er, this time you go to help Xuande with the one hundred veterans he has accumulated over the past few years."
Unlike Liu Yan, Liu Yan was very powerful from the beginning. He was the Zhonglang as soon as he became an official, and then became the Luoyang Order. What is the concept of Luoyang Order?
The mayor of a community in the core of the capital?
Then he was the governor of Jizhou, the governor of Nanyang, Zongzheng, Taichang, and now the governor of Yizhou. Looking at the series of official positions, he knew that Liu Yan was a rich and handsome man in the clan, so he never worried about official positions.
Liu Biao was much poorer. When he was young, his family was better off than Liu Bei's, but not much better. He was even wanted by the court for a period of time because he became the leader of the imperial students and led them to cause trouble.
It was not until a few years ago that Emperor Ling issued an edict to resolve the scourge of party imprisonment, and Liu Biao became an official as a scholar representative. He was directly recruited by He Jin and became the lieutenant general of the Northern Army.
Liu Yan was born in a clan, but he followed the typical promotion route of a clan member, a second-generation descendant.
Liu Biao was also from a clan, and he followed the path of a scholar. He first became the leader of the imperial students, and then led the imperial students to cause trouble. Finally, he was wanted by the imperial court. As a result, he gained great prestige. Finally, when the scourge of the party's imprisonment was lifted, he was directly recruited from the Northern Army.
Start in the middle.
As for Liu Bei, he was also born in the clan. He followed the path of pure genius. Relying on talent and hard work, coupled with Lu Zhi and Liu Kuan's optimism, he inherited Liu Kuan's legacy when the old Zongzheng Liu Kuan passed away.
From then on, the political legacy became unstoppable.
Looking at Liu Bei's promotion route, Liu Biao felt that all his years of hard work had been wasted!
In order to become famous, he did all kinds of hype and private transactions to get the name of Eight Horses. Then he was wanted by the court and further hyped up, so he gained a reputation that was spread throughout the world.
(Being wanted by the court and gaining great reputation is the same as the censors and civil servants of the Ming Dynasty gaining reputation by being beaten by the prince.)
"Xuande is a dragon among men, and sooner or later he will soar into the sky..."
That night, in addition to Liu Yan's son and Liu Biao's son who brought veterans to help, Liu Yu's son Liu He also came with his retainers.
Liu Yu is now the leader of the clan surnamed Liu. His official position and reputation are higher than that of Liu Yan. He is now a Taiwei, one of the three princes, and he is also the governor of Youzhou.
Valley trunk
However, Liu Yu himself was still working as a shepherd in Youzhou at the moment, so it was naturally impossible for him to fly to Luoyang to help Liu Bei, so this time his son Liu He brought Liu Yu's tribe in Luoyang City to help.
Liu He brought 200 veterans in one breath, all of whom were qualified village commanders who had given birth to the power of Qi and blood.
Liu Dai's son also brought a hundred veterans, Liu Yao's son brought fifty veterans...
That night, the clan members almost gathered in large numbers!
For those whose fathers were serving as officials abroad, the sons basically brought retainers, veterans, and guest officials to help out.
Those with money contributed money, those with strength contributed, and those with veterans contributed veterans. Those with nothing brought their own weapons, received a set of crimson armor from Liu Bei, and went into battle in person.
In Luoyang City, which has a population of 800,000, on this night, there were three thousand veterans who were born with the power of Qi and blood. As for the clan members who came to help temporarily, there were even more than five thousand!
These eight thousand people, all wearing fiery red armor, stood in the streets and alleys. He Jin stood on a high place in the general's palace, watching this scene, standing there in a daze, holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand, biting it tightly
He clenched his teeth and remained motionless.
He hates it!
Last year, in order to suppress him and divide his military power, Emperor Ling directly established the Xiyuan Army and appointed eight Xiyuan lieutenants. Although He Jin inserted Yuan Shao into it, the military power of the Xiyuan Army was still firmly in his hands.
In the hands of Military Academy Lieutenant Jian Shuo.
Later, when He Jin was planning to counterattack, Emperor Ling held a large-scale military parade. At that time, tens of thousands of elite soldiers gathered near Pingguanglan in Luoyang to perform martial arts.
The Ling Emperor at that time, riding a white horse and holding a sword, personally inspected the three armies and called himself the supreme general!
That kind of power made He Jin realize that if he obeyed the orders honestly, the Ling Emperor would be willing to use political means and methods within the rules to weaken him little by little. Even if he failed in the end, he would still be given dignity.
But if he dares to have second thoughts, what awaits him will be death without a burial!
At this moment, looking at the young Liu Bei, He Jin almost saw the second Ling Emperor. With Liu Bei here, even if the Ling Emperor died, Liu Bei could unite the clan members in time to protect the emperor.
Three thousand veterans and five thousand outstanding clan members who came spontaneously. Is this the full strength of the clan?
Of course not, this is just most of the power of the clan’s children in the clan’s headquarters in Luoyang City!
Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, Liu Yan, the herdsman of Yizhou, and Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, were the three major forces outside the clan. As for the clan clan surnamed Liu and the princes and princes surnamed Liu all over the world, there were also many.
Even if it is the Yuan family of the Four Generations and Three Dukes, even if it is the Yang family, or the Xun family, which of them can be the opponent of the Liu family?
No!
Not one!
"This is the Emperor, and this is the clan surnamed Liu. Last time, the Emperor used the military parade in Luoyang to enrich the strength of the Xiyuan Army. He directly transferred elite troops from the general's command, and the general had nothing to do."
"Today, Liu Xuande was asked to show off his power in a big way again. It is estimated that he will continue to weaken the general's power tomorrow. Who dares to stop him this time?" Guo Tu said in a low voice.
"Where the great righteousness lies, where the names of monarchs and ministers are laid out, cut them off a little today, and cut them off a little tomorrow, and sooner or later the general will be cut into white." This is Yuan Shao.
"Our Majesty is really smart. If there were no party members, he might be able to continue to maintain the power of the party. If he maintains it for another thirty years, the aristocratic families and scholars will really have to compromise with him. But it is a pity that he did not
How long do you have to live?" This is Xu You.
Everyone was talking about it, and Cao Cao also brought his brother Cao Ren and Cao Hong, his distant relatives Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan and others, as well as three hundred veterans, to come directly to help.
Liu Bei, on the other hand, was divided into seven teams according to their strength and status.
Among them, Liu Bei himself sat in the central government, and Liu Fan, Liu Dan and other second generations also sat in the central government with Liu Bei.
There is one patrol team each in the southeast and northwest, and there is also a patrol team, which is composed entirely of experts. It is extremely mobile and powerful. Although the number is small, in the streets and alleys of the city, the combat effectiveness is no worse than a certain team.
In fact, there are only six teams, and there is another team used as an ambush, which is the most mysterious Qi Refiner. At this moment, no one knows where these Qi Refiners are and what they are doing.
The big man is still here!
Looking at Liu Bei who was able to win people's hearts with his composure, Xun Yu nodded happily: "Liu Xuande can win people."
Hearing this, Xun You said nothing and remained silent.
As for what Xun Yu's thoughts are, Xun You certainly understands that there is no need to say too much between smart people.
What Xun Yu means is that Liu Bei does not look down on other people because of their origins. Whether they are children of the clan, descendants of eunuchs like Cao Cao, or children of other aristocratic families, Liu Bei can maintain good and harmonious relationships with them.
Intimate relationship.
In comparison, neither Yuan Shao nor the current general He Jin did well enough in this regard.
Therefore, Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo were already interested in Liu Bei and wanted to make friends if there was a chance.
…
In a courtyard somewhere in Luoyang, two teenagers who were only fourteen years old this year were standing on a ladder, looking at the Han veterans and clan members patrolling around Luoyang City.
"Is the one in the middle wearing red armor Liu Xuande? I heard that what he is holding is one of the Four Zhongxing Swords that was forged by the emperor himself. He is deeply trusted by the emperor. At a young age, he can command the clan's children. He is a man.
So it is!" This is a young man in gold robe.
Hearing this, the young man in blue on the side nodded seriously: "With your ability, Bo Fu, it is not impossible for you to perform meritorious service in future wars and achieve the position of captain, or even go one step further and become a general of the rank and file."
Hearing this, the young man in gold robe took the hand of the young man in blue: "Gong Jin, you are so unhappy. With Gong Jin helping me, I will definitely achieve great achievements like Zhu Gong in the future, and become the general of chariots and cavalry.
It’s just a matter of time.”
"Bo Fu, it's not that I'm unhappy, but in today's world, aristocratic families are running rampant and the world is dominated by scholars. Bo Fu, you are not incompetent, but..."
Before he finished speaking, the boy in blue looked at the sky.
The young man in gold robe then raised his head and looked at the sky. After a few breaths, he shook his head helplessly: "You can't see it with the naked eye. What is happening there?"
"It was about a thousand feet high in the sky, and suddenly a very special flying instrument that looked like a big bird appeared. Let's call it a magic weapon."
"This magic weapon suddenly opened a gap, and a large number of books fell from the gap. After the mental test, it was the second chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms..."
"Hey, Gongjin, your mental power can already see a thousand feet away? Then if you march and fight in the future, who can ambush you?"
