——

In March, at the end of the month, there were two good news.

One is Huangfu Song who defeated the kingdom and Han Sui.

With the achievement of pacifying the Yellow Turbans, Huangfu Song is the number one general today, but on the one hand, the imperial court did not hold military power for a long time, and on the other hand, Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rangjin slandered, so in the autumn of the second year of Zhongping, the imperial court issued He begged Bianzhang, Han Sui and other Xiliang rebels to fight for a long time without success, took away the seal of his left chariot general, and cut the seal of his household, and changed the seal of the capital to Xianghou. I don't know how long the chaos will last. For such a great military exploit, it was right for him to be named a county lord, but he was cut off just because of the eunuch's slanderous remarks. Xun Zhen and Sun Jian were not as good as they were, so I could sigh.

Since then, Huangfu Song has been idle.

The court changed to captain Yuan Pang, Dong Zhuo, and Zhou Shen to attack Bianzhang, Han Sui and other Xiliang rebels, but several battles were unsuccessful.

Han Sui and other Xiliang rebels became more and more powerful. In November last year, they surrounded Chencang. Chen Cang belongs to Right Fufeng and is located in Sanfu. It is an important strategic place. There is no one available in the court. There is no other way. A 20,000-step cavalry rescued Chen Cang. Dong Zhuo believed that Chen Cang was in critical condition and should be rescued as soon as possible. Huangfu Song disagreed. He believed that although Chen Cang was small, the city walls were strong and well-guarded, and it was not easy to break through. Therefore, it was better to wait for the Xiliang rebels to be exhausted before attacking them. If things are as Huangfu Song expected, the kingdom and others have been besieging Chen Cang for more than 80 days, and they cannot overcome it. In February of this year, they withdrew their troops and retreated. Huangfu Song ordered the pursuit, but Dong Zhuo opposed it. He believed that "poor robbers should not pursue." Huangfu Song said: "The morale of the rebels is low, and they have no fighting spirit. They are not poor robbers, but tired teachers." He led the army to attack, won consecutive battles, killed more than 10,000 people, and achieved the greatest military exploit since the imperial court dispatched troops to attack the rebels in Xiliang.

Not only was it the greatest military exploit, but the victory of this battle also indirectly led to the decline of the Xiliang rebels.

——The rebels of Xiliang began to rebel in November of the first year of Zhongping, and it has been more than four years now. In the past four years, several leaders have been changed before and after. The first leaders were Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou. The two of them started the Rebellion in Xiliang, so they were the first leaders, but both of them belonged to Huangzhong Yi Congqiang, that is, Qiang people. The prestige in Xiliang was not enough, so he captured Jincheng, robbed Bianzhang and Han Sui of the "famous book Xizhou", and embraced them as leaders. The year before last, that is, the fourth year of Zhongping, when the rebels were in strife, Han Sui killed Bian Zhang, Bei Gong Boyu, and Li Wenhou, and became the only leader of this army. After the defeat of Geng Bi, the prefect of Liangzhou, and the defeat of Geng Bi, Ma Teng, who was Geng Bi's Sima, joined forces with Han Sui. Liang's more prestigious kingdom was the leader, so there was a battle to besiege Chencang.

——The reason why Han Sui, Ma Teng, etc. set up the kingdom as their leaders is not only because of the high prestige of the kingdom, but also because the rebels are not monolithic. The rebels have Bei Gong Boyu and Li Wenhou's former divisions, and some Bianzhang's old division, after Li Xiangru, the prefect of Longxi, had descended, he had Li Xiangru's troops, and now Ma Teng's division has been added, and so on. To be this leader, in order to avoid any dissatisfaction, it is better to find another person to be the marshal.

——The kingdom was originally a leader who had to be pulled out as a last resort. Chen Cang’s victory was good. After this defeat, infighting broke out within the Xiliang rebels soon after. Han Sui and Ma Teng abolished the kingdom and robbed Yan Zhong, a famous scholar in Hanyang. , yù takes Yan Zhong as the handsome. This Yan Zhong is the Yan Zhong who persuaded Huangfu Song to rebel in the first year of Zhongping. Although Yan Zhong persuaded Huangfu Song to rebel, it does not mean that he is willing to be the leader of the "thief army". He is not only unwilling, but also deeply He thought it was a shame, but he wanted to go but couldn't, and he died of anger soon after.

——As soon as Yan Zhong died, there was no person with enough prestige to be the leader. Infighting broke out again within the rebel army. Han Sui, Ma Teng and others fought for power and killed each other. As the army gradually declined, it was not as good as before. .

Therefore, Huangfu Song's victory over Chen Cang indirectly led to the decline of the Xiliang rebels.

Huangfu Song was really a fortunate general of the Han family. He defeated Zhang Jiao's rebellion first, and then Chen Cang's great victory, which indirectly led to the decline of the rebel army in Xiliang. This big man's northern state and western state still don't know what the chaos will be like.

The second piece of good news is that Zhang Chun, the leader of the Youzhou rebels, was stabbed to death by Wang Zheng.

This Zhang Chun is a native of Yuyang, originally a member of the Han family, and he used to be the prime minister of Zhongshan. In the 4th year of Zhongping, the Grand Commander Zhang Wen was ordered to seek Bianzhang and Han Sui. However, due to insufficient military rations, many of these three thousand Wuhuan jīng cavalry did not obey orders and returned to their tribe.

Zhang Chun then said to Zhang Ju, the former governor of Taishan: "Now the Wuhuan rebels, they all want to cause chaos, the rebels in Liangzhou rise, and the court cannot stop them. And Luoyang people have two wives and two children, the Han Dynasty is dying, and the world has two rulers. Also. If you and I lead the Wuhuan crowd to raise an army, maybe you can achieve a great cause." Zhang Ju believed his words.

Because in the fourth year of Zhongping, Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun and the Wuhuan adults, that is, the chief of the Wuhuan tribe, Qiu Liju, formed an alliance and rebelled. They first captured Jixian, burned the city, plundered the people, and then turned to the right. The cities of Peiping and Liaoxi vassal states were in ruins as far as they could go. They killed the captain Huan Huan, the prefect of Youbeiping, and the prefect of Liaodong. Zhang Ju called himself "the Son of Heaven", and Zhang Chun called himself "General Mitian, King Anding", and moved to Shuzhou County, saying that Zhang Ju was a contemporary Han, called the emperor of Han to abdicate, and the imperial ministers welcomed him.

When Gongsun Zan heard about it, he stopped going to the battlefields in the west, and instead returned to attack Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, pursued meritorious deeds, and moved him to the position of Cavalry Commander.

After Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, and Qiu Liju joined forces with the Wuhuan and others, there were more than 100,000 troops. Although Gongsun Zan was able to pursue his merits, he could not pacify them. Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju sent tens of thousands of cavalry and cavalry, plundered Qing, Xu, You, and Ji, attacked Qinghe and Pingyuan, and killed officials and people. The emperor ordered Gongsun Zan to ask him. In March last year, the imperial court re-established the prefectural shepherd and made Liu Yu the prefectural shepherd. After Liu Yu took office, he dismissed the province and stationed troops, sent envoys to the tribes of the Wuhuan rebels, stated their interests and told them to the court. En magnanimous, welcome their surrender, and offer to buy Zhang Chun's head. Political battles are well fought, and military battles are easy to fight. In November last year, Gongsun Zan entered Shimen Mountain, a vassal state in Liaodong, and fought with Zhang Chun and others. Zhang Chun and others were defeated, abandoned his wife and children, and fled to Xianbei. Gongsun Zan took advantage of the victory and pursued in depth, but because there was no backup, he was surrounded by Qiu Liju and others in Guanzi City, Liaoxi Prefecture.

Although Gongsun Zan was besieged by Guanzicheng and has not yet been freed, Zhang Chun and others have been defeated by him, and they covet Liu Yu's reward. Zhang Chun's disciple Wang Zheng then killed Zhang Chun this month and dedicated his head to Liu Yu.

If the victory of Huangfu Song's Chen Cang indirectly led to the decline of the rebels in Xiliang, then Liu Yu's being worshiped as the shepherd of Youzhou planted the seeds of discord between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan.

After hearing this news, Xun Zhen's first reaction was: Liu Yu stopped the province and stationed troops and tried to rule Youzhou with virtue and righteousness. This was the exact opposite of Gongsun Zan's pursuit of power in battles and military battles. Although the prestige of Youzhou is high, the Gongsun clan is a surname in western Liaoning. Gongsun Zan has been in power for a long time, and he is fierce and good at fighting. Even if it is not a troubled time, contradictions and conflicts will break out between the two sooner or later.

Xun Zhen specifically told Liu Bei the news.

Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan are old schoolmates.

A few days ago, Liu Bei had just returned from picking up his bride. Xun Zhen summoned Xun You, Cheng Jia, Wei Guang, Luan Gu, Chen Yi, Jiang Qin, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and others, as well as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, borrowing Sun Jian's territory, wine, meat, and dancers, set up a feast for Liu Bei for two days in a row to celebrate his wedding.

Liu Bei's bride, Xun Zhen met on the day Liu Bei came back. Although she was not a first-class beauty, she was beautiful in appearance, especially her figure, which was very plump. Cheng Jia joked to Liu Bei and said, "Looking at the appearance of Qing's wife, Qing Lai will not worry about having no children!"

Cheng Jia's joke was a bit too much. This is Liu Bei's wife. As a colleague or a friend, you should respect her. When Guan Yu heard this, he was extremely dissatisfied and almost turned against Cheng Jia. If not for Cheng Jia, Xun Zhen, he would dare to tease him. Of course, he always respected Xun Zhen's wife, Chen Zhi, but gave it to Xun Zhen and Cai Mao. Zhen's two young wives, but he often used them as a topic to tease and abuse Xun Zhen. This was the case with Xun Zhen, not to mention Liu Bei?

Liu Bei was a big measure, and he knew that Cheng Junchang was Xun Zhen's personal confidant. He didn't have the same knowledge as him, but he laughed and was not angry.

After learning that Gongsun Zan defeated Zhang Chun first and was trapped in Guanzicheng, Liu Bei was both happy and worried.

The joy is that Gongsun Zan has made another military exploits, but the worry is that Gongsun Zan is trapped in a lonely city.

Unlike Xun Zhen, Liu Bei's current network is very thin. Apart from Xun Zhen, there are only two people who can tell, one is Lu Zhi and the other is Gongsun Zan. Compared with Lu Zhi, Gongsun Zan has a better friendship with him. As a great Confucian in the North and an important official in the court, Lu Zhi has many disciples and former officials. Liu Bei is only one of them, and he is still the kind of person who is not in the forefront. It is not realistic to expect Lu Zhi to help him, but Gongsun Zan is not the same. They are classmates. In the past, when they were studying under Lu Zhi's family, he was both a chivalrous person. They were congenial and had similar interests. Liu Bei often followed Gongsun Zan's ass. It was of great benefit to him, so of course he hoped that Gongsun Zan would make more achievements in battle, and that Guanzicheng would be able to clear the siege early.

Having said this, Liu Bei was a little fortunate. Fortunately, before Xun Zhen arrested and destroyed Ye Zhao, he did not follow Xun Zhen's advice, left Xun Zhen and turned to Gongsun Zan instead. If not, he must be the only one who is besieged in Guanzi City now. Now following Xun Zhen to despair in the rivers and lakes, it is "unable to succeed", but it is better than being surrounded by a lonely city, life and death.

Sun Jian soon heard about the second poem "Tan" written by Xun Zhenna, probably because Wu Concubine was showing off to her maid.

Sun Jian has specially dismissed all official duties these days. He also does not go to the barracks or see outsiders. He only accompanies Xun Zhen in the mansion. Whenever the people are quiet at dusk, he invites Xun Zhen, Xun You, Cheng Jia and others to go out to the mansion. tour.

Sun Jian led Xun Zhen and others to visit the historical sites in Linxiang City, such as the Palace of King Wu, the former residence of Jia Yi, and the Dingwang Terrace built by Liu Fa, the son of Emperor Jing of the former Han Dynasty.

——Liu Fa, King Ding of Changsha, is the ancestor of Emperor Guangwu, the ancestor of Guangwu, and Guangwu is his sixth grandson. Liu Fa's mother was the maidservant of Emperor Jing's concubine Cheng Ji. She came from a humble background, so Liu Fa could not get a good fief, and was sealed in Changsha, a "humid and poor country". Changsha was thousands of miles away from Chang'an. I chose the high ground in the east of the city and built one. Whenever I miss my mother, I will go on the stage to look in the direction of Chang'an and talk about my filial piety. This platform is Dingwangtai.

As early as when he first arrived in Linxiang, Xun You wanted to visit Jia Yi's former residence, just because Xun Zhen had not been out of the house very much—he knew that Xun Zhen actually liked to visit historical sites, so he took care of Xun Zhen's emotions, although Xun Zhen never left the house. I have been invited several times by Cheng Jia, Chen Yi, Luan Gu and others, but I have never been there to see it. Gan and Xun Zhen "shared weal and woe" until now.

Outside Linxiang City, there is Linglu Peak, which is Yuelu Mountain in later generations. It is one of the seventy-two peaks of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue. It is not too far from Linxiang and has beautiful scenery. After traveling all over the county, Sun Jian and Xun Zhen and the others went out of the city at night, took the boat to the bottom of Defeng ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and went up to play for four or five days.

On the mountain, Sun Jian smiled and said to Xun Zhen: "Qing Shi said, 'On the Lingshan stage, there is a ling rhinoceros in love, but I hate the fleeting years that come to my temples.' Looking at this Linglu Peak, I wonder how it compares to Lingshan?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "The so-called 'spirit': the mountain is not high, but the immortals are spiritual." After a pause, he smiled again, "The city is not ugly, only the virtue of the chief officials is sweet."

Hearing that Xun Zhen was praising her family, Sun Jian stroked his beard and laughed.

Xun Zhen remembered that Juzizhou was also near Changsha. After swimming through Yuelu Mountain, she originally went to Juzizhou. However, when Sun Jian was asked where the island was, Sun Jian was at a loss, and Huanjie, a native of Linxiang, had never heard of it. Continent, I don't know if the name Juzi Continent does not exist yet, or does Juzi Continent not exist yet?

Yao Yao remembered the heroic spirit of the later generation who pointed the country at Juzitou, but when he arrived in Linxiang, he couldn't go to Juzizhou to see it. Xun Zhen was a little disappointed.

However, sailing on the water, facing the mighty breeze, watching the eagle hitting the sky, overlooking the shallow bottom of the fish, looking at the new green mountains in the distance, looking forward to the north of the Xiangjiang River, in the vast sky and water, a boat with a few people seems extremely small, but in it, it is very small. Her mind was wide open, her blocks were scattered, she thought about hiding in desperation, and looking forward to the chaos of the world. Before she knew it, Xun Zhen's heart gradually rose, and a generosity similar to that person was actually born.

He stepped to the bow of the boat, stood with his sword in hand, undressed and rushed into the wind, sighing in a sigh of relief: "I am disappointed, ask the vast land, who controls the ups and downs? My man, the middle stream hits the water, and the waves stop the flying boat!"

After disembarking from the boat and landing, before reaching Changsha, several cavalry Juechen rushed to it.
