When Chen Mu pulled away from Lu Zhi and came to find Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the others outside the city, he saw Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Lin chatting and laughing in front, followed by a large group of soldiers carrying armor and weapons.
The area outside Yiyang City now seems to have turned into a vegetable market. The army has not set up camp, but is just resting on the spot. However, countless soldiers are walking back and forth, making it look extremely chaotic.
Seeing Chen Mu and several soldiers protecting him coming from a distance, Zhang Fei waved his hands and shouted loudly: "Fourth brother!"
The soldiers passing by looked over one after another, making Chen Mu very embarrassed as he was being stared at.
This is a bit like when you are shopping in a pedestrian street and your cheating friend yells at you from dozens of meters away, causing the pedestrians around you to pay attention and salute, it will make people particularly uncomfortable.
Chen Mu had no choice but to walk over quickly. When he saw Master Zhao, he raised his hands and saluted, "Master Zhao."
Zhao Lin quickly returned the greeting: "Marquis Chen."
A qu has a qu chief and a qujunhou. The qu chief is 600 shi and manages 500 people. The qujunhou has a rank higher than 600 shi, which is equivalent to the deputy qu chief. His official position is lower than that of Zhao Lin, the chief clerk.
A little bit.
Chen Mu smiled and said: "The chief secretary seems to be very close to my second and third brothers? What are you talking about?"
Zhang Fei held an eight-foot steel spear in one hand and gestured with the other hand: "Master Zhao just said that he had been to the West Sea and had seen such a big fish in the West Sea, which was five feet long. I'm afraid it was a fish spirit.
. He also said that if I have time, I will go to Yongzhou and he will show us the beautiful scenery of Xiliang."
Xihai is Qinghai in later generations. It was called Xihai County in the Han Dynasty. It belongs to the border area between Yongzhou and Liangzhou. It is currently in the hands of the Han people. However, the place is also very complicated, with sharp conflicts between the Qiang and Han and many rebellions.
Zhao Lin smiled: "When I was young, I left home to study and travel around. I went to Sichuan, Liangzhou and other places to visit famous teachers and scholars. Although I made no achievements and didn't learn any skills, I was still well-informed. From now on.
When the country is stabilized and the world is at peace, Chen Junhou can also go to Xiliang to have a look. The magnificent scenery is still unforgettable to me."
Chen Mu was happy to have a good relationship with Mr. Zhao, and of course he agreed: "The smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun sets over the long river. I have heard about the scenery of Xiliang Desert for a long time. It would be great if I could go and see it with my friends.
, if you can go there in the future, Director Zhao must be a tour guide for my brother and others."
This is a hint.
Zhao Lin was stunned and thought: "The desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, the sun is setting over the long river... A good poem that perfectly presents the scenery of Xiliang Desert, as if the turbulent scenery is right in front of you. Chen Junhou is a great talent
Also, from Youzhou all the way to Jizhou, I have a talent for planning. Just one glance at me and you know that I have a wife, mother, brother and sister in my family, who are talented in debating things. Now I also have a talent for poetry. This kind of ability makes Lin really admire me."
Five-character poetry existed in the Han Dynasty, but it was a minor genre. It was not until the Wei and Jin Dynasties that it gradually became popular. By the Tang Dynasty, it was the peak era of poetry. At this time, Fu was popular, and the more famous ones like Sima Xiangru and Yang Xiong all wrote Fu.
Everyone, although poetry, song and poetry are integrated into one, today is far from the era of poetry.
Therefore, Chen Mu's two casual poems sounded good to people, but they were not so stunning that they would bow to him.
However, Zhao Lin still felt that he was very talented and had a bright future. She had the idea of dating, and said: "If the military commander thinks highly of him, don't call me Mr. Zhao. My name is Lin, and my courtesy name is Boyu. Please call me Mr. Zhao."
Just Zhao Boyu."
Chen Mu hit the snake on the stick and immediately laughed and said: "Brother Boyu!"
In ancient times, when choosing a word, you need to have something similar to the name, or you need to explain the meaning of the name. For example, Zhuge Liang's character is Kongming, Liang, which means bright. Zhang Fei's character is Yide, which means flying. He needs a pair of wings to fly. And Chen Mu's character
Zigui means the same thing, it means it's dark, what should you do when it's dark? You have to go home.
Therefore, the word Zhao Lin means "jade" in ancient times. The possible words are "Yu", "Zhang", "Jin" and other words that describe beautiful jade. For example, Chen Lin, whose courtesy name is Kong Zhang, and Zhou Yu, whose courtesy name is Gong.
Jin. And Zhao Lin took the word "Yu", and the word "Bo" also represents his status as the eldest in the family, indicating that he does have other brothers and sisters, which confirms Chen Mu's speculation.
The two of them became brother-in-law, brother Boyu, and soon became close to each other.
No matter where you are, it is very important to have a good relationship with the people who manage logistics.
For example, when people from other departments come to Zhao Lin to assess the battle damage and ask for baggage, Zhao Lin will definitely handle the matter in a formal manner and make up for the loss. When Liu Bei's department comes, it will be a special matter. If the loss is one hundred, three hundred will be made up immediately.
, where can I find such a good thing?
In fact, this is also because Chen Mu is a scholar and Zhao Lin is also a scholar. It is difficult for scholars to have a common language with uncultured generals in the army. But if they have similar status and have a common language, it is easy to communicate with each other.
In addition, Brother Liu Bei is a popular figure in front of General Lu Zhi, and he is about to become famous. Zhao Lin, as a child of a run-down family who has endured hardships, although she does not have great talents, she still has the ability to observe people's emotions. Facing Chen Mu
Of course he is willing to fawn over someone who takes the initiative to interact with her.
In this way, Chen Mu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Lin soon got together, and the relationship was very good, and Liu Bei suddenly had nothing to worry about.
However, if Liu Bei were here, with his methods and ability to build interpersonal relationships, I am afraid that the four of us would not only have a good relationship now, but maybe with his mediation, everyone would soon be as good as wearing a pair of trousers.
It's not a problem to form a small gang in the army.
It's just that Liu Bei is a little busy now. The clan members proposed a surprise attack on Quliang. Lu Zhi thought about this suggestion seriously and agreed to it.
Chen Mu and Liu Bei proposed a plan to use horse-drawn carriages to transport troops and sent 300 Youzhou cavalry for reconnaissance.
Lu Zhi ordered Liu Bei to lead the 300 Youzhou cavalry to perform this task. Liu Bei was now gathering his troops, and then followed Lu Zhi to collect the horses, and was also among the army outside the city.
When the horses carrying the baggage were being unloaded and saddles were being loaded, Liu Bei asked someone to ask Chen Mu where they were. He galloped over on horseback and said as soon as they met: "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, Guo Daxian has already run away.
It's been nearly three-quarters of an hour. We must speed up the pace and not let them arrive at Quliang early. The second and third brothers will follow me and set out immediately to investigate Guo Daxian's troops. Fourth brother, you can stay and lead the new troops."
"Liu Zhonglang."
Seeing Liu Bei coming, Zhao Lin saluted and said hello.
Only then did Liu Bei notice Zhao Lin. The main reason was that it was too late. Although the torches were lit in the army, the light was not very good. He quickly dismounted and returned the greeting: "Master Zhao, the army is about to set off again. I'm sorry that I can't."
Have a chat with the chief administrator."
"It doesn't matter, it's important." Zhao Lin waved her hands repeatedly.
Guan Yu said: "Na Yu will say goodbye first."
"I'm leaving too."
Zhang Fei waved his eight-foot-long steel spear and said excitedly: "Finally we can fight again."
These two are really...
Chen Mu couldn't help but envy Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's abnormal physical strength.
An hour ago, they were still fighting in Yiyang City. No less than a hundred people died in their hands. They were so exhausted that they were out of breath and sweating profusely. They recovered almost in the blink of an eye. They were simply superhuman.
After saying goodbye to Zhao Lin and Chen Mu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei. Soon three hundred horses rushed out of the military camp and galloped along the official road to Quliang.
In fact, as baggage horses, these horses are generally slugs with good endurance but poor explosive power. However, as long as a horse can run faster than a human, what's more, Guo Daxian's troops must have consumed a lot of physical strength after bloody battles and desperate escapes. Liu Bei
No problem catching up.
In addition, the sound of horses galloping was very loud at night. However, Chen Mu guessed that the soldiers of Guo Daxian's tribe suffered from night blindness and could not identify the direction. They would definitely light torches and walk in the direction of Ming River.
Now is the spring flood period. The flow of Mingshui River is turbulent, which will make a huge noise to cover up the running horses. Moreover, Guo Daxian's troops number tens of thousands. So many people lighting torches are very eye-catching at night. Therefore, just pay attention from a distance by the Mingshui River.
Once you have a large number of torches, you don't have to worry about being exposed at all, you just need to follow them closely.
It can be said that Chen Mu has accounted for everything, and now it depends on Lu Zhi and Liu Bei.
Lu Zhi did not live up to expectations. Shortly after Liu Bei set off first, he integrated his troops and unloaded a large amount of baggage, leaving only carriages. Nearly ten thousand people from the front army boarded the carriages, with four or five people on each carriage.
Thousands of carriages rumbled towards Quliang. For a moment, Zhao Lin was transported back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with a sense of technological regression.
"Zi Guixiandi's move is really wonderful. Since the chariot was eliminated, it has never appeared on the battlefield again. I didn't expect you to use the chariot to transport troops. It really puts a Confucian scholar like me who often reads hundreds of classics to shame.
If you were born in the pre-Qin Dynasty, I'm afraid you could be called a virtuous person." Zhao Lin shook her head.
Chen Mu smiled and said: "Since the theory of hundreds of schools of thought is a classic, it has its own truth, but later generations will not use it. Whether it is advanced things or backward things, their existence is justified. As early as the pre-Qin era, this world
The great road has been taught by the saints. It is already difficult for us descendants to use it flexibly. How can we dare to say that we are ranked as sages with them."
The Han Dynasty succeeded the Qin Dynasty, and the second generation of the Qin Dynasty died. Therefore, the Han Dynasty was not far away from the Warring States Period, with a total difference of more than 400 years. Moreover, scholars in the Han Dynasty all studied Confucian classics, but Confucianism
I am quite thick-skinned and have "borrowed" a lot of books.
Confucian scholars during the Han Dynasty mainly studied the Seven Classics, namely the Book of Songs, the Book of Songs, the Book of Rites, the Book of Changes, the Spring and Autumn Annals, the Classic of Filial Piety, and the Analects of Confucius.
Among them, "Shangshu", "Book of Rites" and "Book of Changes" are all related to the Zhou royal family. For example, "Book of Changes", the first of the group of classics, is said to be written by King Wen of Zhou. "Shangshu" is a political document collected by the Zhou royal family. "Book of Rites"
", also known as "Zhou Rites" and "Zhou Officials", are the regulations and systems managed by the uncles of the Zhou royal family and were produced by Zhou Gong.
In addition, the Book of Songs is a collection of poems from various countries and has little to do with Confucianism.
Among them, only "Spring and Autumn" barely has anything to do with Confucianism, because "Spring and Autumn" is a collection of history books from various countries during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. At that time, except for the Zhou royal family, other countries had historians to record history. After Qin Shihuang burned books, the history of various countries
It disappeared, and "Spring and Autumn" was once lost.
In the Western Han Dynasty, Confucian scholars compiled it into Zuozhuan, Gongyangzhuan and other works on the pretext of hearing it from ear to ear, so the Spring and Autumn Annals became a Confucian classic.
But in fact, before Confucius was born, the Six Classics such as "Poetry", "Book", "Li", "Yi", "Yue" and "Spring and Autumn" had already appeared. However, the contents were praised by Confucius, so they were "borrowed" by Confucianism.
.
The only scriptures that are truly uncontroversial and produced by Confucianism are The Analects of Confucius and The Classic of Filial Piety.
Therefore, Zhao Lin said that she was a Confucian scholar who read hundreds of classics. This statement was actually not wrong.
However, the Confucian moral character of the Han Dynasty was not so corrupt. The Confucian scholars at that time did not claim that these works were produced by them, but the content was in line with Confucian thought, so Confucian students had to study it.
Moreover, the Confucian scholars at that time were not the rotten Confucians that they would become later. "Gongyang Zhuan" said, "The hatred of the ninth generation can still be avenged. The king's way is restored, respect the king and resist the barbarians. The hatred of the tenth generation can still be avenged!" "The Analects of Confucius·Xianwen"
Therefore, the Confucian scholars at that time were all ruthless men who carried swords on their waists and dared to mount horses and fight to the death. They were completely different concepts from the later Confucian scholars. The moral character of the Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty cannot be compared with the moral integrity of the Confucian scholars in the Qingming period.
