The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

"Isn't Li Qiong in Li's house?"

"Ming Gong did not know that Li Qiong lived in the house with the surname Huang Guan, and there was a complex wall in his home. After Yu Du escaped from the hall, Li Qiong saw that the opportunity was not good, so he also escaped from the hall and hid in the complex wall. He escaped the arrest of the servants. After the servants left the Li house, he came out of the complex wall and was assigned to the county camp."

The so-called "complex wall" means a wall with two walls, "two layers and hollow". A secret room was built in the wall to hide things and people. This is an architectural feature of the houses of the Han Dynasty, ranging from palaces to wealthy houses. For example, in the early years of the Han Dynasty, because Liu Bang was rude to Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, Xiang Guangao of the State of Zhao "been a man of Bairen, and asked him to buy a toilet". He hid the armor in the toilet wall of the "palace" in Bairen County, where Liu Bang planned to live. A scholar who wants to assassinate Liu Bang is like Zhao Qi, a famous scholar of Jingzhao who had been held by the party for more than ten years and was made a long history by the chariot general Zhang Wen. It was hidden in the wall for several years.

The house that Li Qiong lived in was originally the family house of a large family surnamed Huang, and there were also complex walls in the house.

When Du first arrived, he did not know where the Fubi was, but Li Qiong knew it. After Du escaped, he saw that the situation was unfavorable, so he also escaped from the hall and hid in the Fubi, waiting for Cheng Jia, Chen Wu and others. Came out after leaving.

Cheng Jia and others were few. They were in that kind of place of life and death at the time. Everyone's attention was on the poison. They wanted to find him as soon as possible. They didn't pay much attention to Li Qiong. After retreating to the Xicheng Gate, I heard that the light chivalrous man surnamed Dong who answered them came to report, and only then did they know that Li Qiong was not dead, and that he was also included in the county barracks.

Cheng Jianai made a decisive decision and decided to go to the barracks to persuade Li Qiong to surrender.

Xun Zhen asked with great interest: "I sent Qing et al to Neihuang to capture Yu Po. At that time, Qing et al were executed in the place of life and death, but Yu Po has already been captured, Qing can be said to be a great success, why? If you don't leave, go to persuade Li Qiong to surrender? Aren't you afraid of losing your life to the bandit camp?"

Although Cheng Jia was short, he knelt on the seat at this time, his waist was straight, and he said boldly: "'If you are armed with armor, you will die. The place of death and life', and since you are already in the place of life and death, how can you talk about life and death? Jia Zao put it aside, and all he thought in his mind was: Take down the inner yellow for the Ming Gong's soldiers without blood! Death, that's all!"

"When you fight with armor, you will die if you are solid" is a sentence in "Zuo Zhuan: Chenggong Two Years". In the second year of Lu Chenggong in the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin attacked Qi and fought in the saddle. The commander of the Jin army was shot by a stray arrow. , bleeding and walking, while beating the drums, he said to Jie Zhang, "I'm injured!" Jie Zhang said: "I've been injured a long time ago! The wheels on the left are all stained with my blood. You are Commander, your banner is the eyes and ears of the entire army, and you cannot spoil the monarch’s affairs just because you are injured, and you will die if you are armed with armour, and you will die before you get sick, so my son encourages it!”

The meaning of the last four sentences is to say: To take up arms is to go to death, as long as you don't die, you must work hard!

Xun Zhen slammed the case hard, applauded Cheng Jia's rhetoric, stood up with his saber, looked around at the people in the hall, and said, "'If you are armed with armor, you will die. This is the foundation of the army! A man who was ordered to be in the country should treat death as if he were at home, so as not to disgrace the order of the monarch. . . . . The public does not give up, from the day I obeyed the order, every time I fought against the thieves, I always had the heart of my own responsibility, and I had no ambition to survive, and I will finally achieve today.

This is the second day after Cheng Jia, Chen Wu and others returned to Ye County. Because Cheng Jia and others did not disgrace the emperor's life, they not only captured Yu Du, but also took Nei Huang without bloodshed. Xun Zhen specially hosted a banquet for them. To celebrate, Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin, Xin Ai, Gao Su, Wen Pin and others were all present.

After hearing Xun Zhen's words of encouragement, Xu Zhong and the others stood up, saluted and answered the order, saying, "Ming Gong's admonitions, the officials and others should keep them in mind."

Xun Zhen sat back on the table and signaled everyone to take their seats. She continued to ask Cheng Jia how she persuaded Li Qiong to surrender, and said with a smile: "Although Yu Du was captured alive, there are still thousands of thieves in the county, how did Qing convince Li Qiong. ?"

"Jia entered the thief camp, saw Li Qiong, and asked him a question."

"What?"

"Jia asked him: Do you want to live now, or do you want to die?"

"How did he answer?"

"He didn't answer at first, but ordered Jia to be pushed out from the left and right, wanting to kill him."

"What's next?"

"Jia burst out laughing."

As long as a lobbyist, the first task is to fully focus the other party's attention on himself, and at the same time try to arouse the other party's curiosity or doubt, and then take the opportunity to move it with words. As soon as Cheng Jia saw Li Qiong, he asked him if he was Wanting to die or wanting to live, and then laughing loudly when he was kicked out of the account and beheaded, these two moves are for this top priority.

Now that he was alive and kicking in front of Xun Zhen, needless to say, his two tricks must have worked.

"What's next?"

"Li Qiong saw Jia laughing, so he ordered the soldiers to bring Jia back to the tent and asked Jia why he was laughing."

"What did you say?"

"I said it was ridiculous that he didn't know he was dying, so I laughed out loud."

"Although Yu Du was captured alive, Wei, Neihuang and other counties are still in the hands of the thieves. Li Qiong is Yu Du's wife and brother. He holds the three counties of Neihuang, Liyang and Fanyang in his hands. He holds a high position among the thieves. Now that Yudu is gone, maybe it is the opportunity for him to take the opportunity to further advance among the thieves, and it is not impossible to enter Wei County, why is he dying?"

"He asked Jia the same way, and Jia said to him: Yes, you are Yu Du's brother-in-law, but unfortunately you are only Yu Du's little brother-in-law."

Xun Zhen caressed the beard and laughed, and said in a teasing manner: "Qing really knows people's hearts and will sow discord."

Yu Du is the commander of the thief soldiers, and now he is captured alive, the thieves have no leader, and he must choose a new leader. It would be fine if Yu Du's young wife had no children. The problem is that Yu Du's young wife just gave birth to a son at the end of last year, so Li Qiong's position would be embarrassing.

He is the uncle of the son of Yu Du's young wife, and he is also an old man who followed Yu Du to fight. He has a high status among the thieves, and now he holds three counties, and there are still thousands of soldiers under his account. His eldest wife and Yu Du's eldest son will definitely be on guard against him, in case he takes advantage of the chaos and internal strife and holds his own nephew to be the commander of Qu.

When Li Qiong's nephew was born, Li Qiong was already in the nephew. He has never seen his nephew. Now Yu Du has just been captured. There is chaos inside and outside the nephew. It was messy, maybe he hadn't thought of this, but being reminded by Cheng Jiayi, he couldn't help but feel frightened and hesitant.

Therefore, Xun Zhen said that Cheng Jia "knows people's hearts and will sow discord".

"After Jia said this to him, his face changed suddenly, but he hesitated and contradicted, and said to Jia: I have no desire to fight for power. I have followed the general since the general raised his troops. Don't doubt me!"

"How did you answer?"

"Yu Du's eldest wife may not suspect you, but think about it, where was Yu Du captured? Why did Yu Du come to Neihuang?"

Yu Du was captured by Neihuang, why did he come to Neihuang? Because he suspected that Li Qiong was collaborating with the enemy.

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "The two questions asked by Qing are a question of the heart!... How did he answer?"

"After listening to my two questions, he was speechless and dripping with sweat. So I said to him again: Yu Du's eldest wife may not suspect that you have the will to fight for power, but your husband is lost. Let me ask you, Yu Du's eldest wife. Will Du's eldest wife suspect you of your betrayal? When your biological father was captured by Nei Huang, will Yu Du's eldest son hold a grudge against you?"

"What did he say?"

"He was still speechless, sweating like rain. Jia observed his words and expressions and knew that he had moved, but he said: Jia Zhi's lord is tolerant and magnanimous, thirsty for talents, condescending to others, has a long-term ambition, and is truly the world's Hero, the phoenix of the world, if you raise the city and come down, not only can you save your life, but also with the great deeds of the city, you will definitely be used by the lord, and you will enjoy fame and wealth."

"He came down?"

"He was still a little hesitant, so Jia then said: He Yi, the commander of the Yellow Turbans in Runan, Li Xiang, the commander of the Yellow Turbans in Dongjun, Huang Qian, the rest of the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou, and the strong thief in the Western Mountains of Zhao County, these three people They all abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, and successively surrendered to the lord of Jia. Now they all occupy a high position and enjoy wealth and honor under the lord's account, especially Huang Qian, who tried to surrender and revolted. After being captured by the lord twice, the lord not only did not kill him, but still remained Trust him. It is rare in the world to be as generous and magnanimous as the ruler of Jia! If you fall, you will be rich, and if you don't fall, you will die. Please think for yourself."

"He came down because of it."

"Exactly."

Xun Zhen laughed loudly, looking forward to the table, Huang Qian, who was sitting at the end of the table, came forward, poured a glass of wine, brought it to him, and said with a smile: "Old Qian, now Li Qiongxian, Huang, Li Yang, and Fan Yang have surrendered to me, so I won the land of these three counties without any effort, thanks to the strength of Junchang and A Deng, but you also have a share of credit for this! Please drink this glass of wine."

Huang Qian took the wine, drank in fear, and said, "Qian was enslaved by the old army, surrendered, and revolted. Fortunately, the Lord's kindness has been extended to this day. The Lord's kindness is so generous that Qian can't repay it with a hundred deaths."

"At that time, you were coerced by the old ministry, and it was not you who rebelled on your own initiative. This matter has long since passed, so there is no need to say more. Come, drink this glass of wine, I have something to trust."

Huang Qian drank it all.

Xun Zhen said, "Li Qiong's new arrival, there must be anxiety. I want to use the minister as the guardian of Huang Cheng, how about that?"

"Shou" means "generation", and "Shou Nei Huang Cheng" means "Dai Nei Huang Cheng".

The prefect of the Han Dynasty has a lot of power~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although it does not have the right to appoint or remove county magistrates in terms of the system, when the county magistrate is short of people or the county magistrate is not competent for their own duties, they can appoint "shouguan". Take it on your behalf. The magistrate of Neihuang had long since abandoned his office and fled, and Neihuang now has no order. Therefore, after Li Qiong's surrender, Xun Zhen expressed his trust, and at the same time, in order to better recruit the rest of the Yu Po tribe, he took the police on the spot. Li Qiong was appointed as "Internal Huang Ling", and now in order to relieve Li Qiong's anxiety, he has decided to appoint Huang Qian as "Internal Huang Cheng".

Huang Qian was so grateful for Xun Zhen's trust in him. Such a majestic man, his eyes were red, his tears burst into tears, he grabbed the cracks in the bricks on the ground, kowtowed hard, and said in a choked voice, "I will live up to the Lord's credit!"

Xun Zhen went around the case a few times, helped him up, patted his arm, and said with a smile, "It's not what a man should do!" He personally wiped the tears from his beard and said with a smile, "Very good. Meisu, how can you be stained with tears?"

After Huang Qian thanked him again and again, and returned to the table, Xun Zhen poured wine again, and served it to Cheng Jia, Liu Deng, Zhao Yun, Chen Wu, Guan Yu, and Li Xiang—Zhang Fei did not come back. In order to guard Huang Wei, Xun Zhen was appointed to assist Li Qiong in handling Huang's military affairs.

After drinking for Cheng Jia, Xun Zhen poured herself a glass, stood in the banquet, looked forward to everyone, pointed at Cheng Jia, and said, "Yan Zhao has been a hero since ancient times. Like Junchang, a thief is handsome as a thief. Chao, with the power of one person, the person who speaks of the land of three counties can be described as a hero." He turned to Xuan Kang, Xu Ji, and Xu Fu who were sitting at the table, and said encouragingly, "I am determined to be courageous and seek knowledge. Don't be afraid of sheep intestines. Uncle Ye, Youjie, Ah Fu, Qing and others should take Junchang as a model in the future, whether they are officials and people or fighting for the front."
