Chapter 111: Black Mountain Zhang Yan
Since the fall of the Yellow Turban, there has been no cessation of small-scale unrest across the country. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info history contains dozens of troops, and rises between the valleys, scourge the counties and counties, the banners are also messy, the loud voice calls itself Lei Gong, the one who rides a white horse is called Zhang Baiqi, and the big eyes are called big eyes...... These people, as many as 20,000 or 30,000, and as few as 6,700, grabbed a piece of land to facilitate the rapid change of place, and they were deeply rooted in the essence of guerrilla warfare.
However, it was said that the Black Mountain thief Zhang Niujiao led his troops to lurk in the valley for a period of time, and when he saw that the wind was fading, he thought about it quietly, and brought a large number of people out to rob, Chu Yan was also in the army, and he couldn't persuade him. I had to lead the department to follow.
Zhang Niujiao is righteous and heroic, but he is a bit ambitious and talented. After coming out, he robbed a few places, and when he saw that it was so easy to rob, he was overjoyed, so he continued. Chu Yan persuaded: "General, you have gained a lot this time, why don't you accept it if you see it?" ”
Zhang Niujiao smiled: "Hey, brother, how can you accept it when you see it?" Our family has a big business, so we don't grab more grain and grass, in case we run out of food, how can we do it? Besides, the brothers have been holding back for months, so they have to come out and find a few mothers-in-law to relax, don't they? Hahaha! ”
When the generals next to him heard this, they all laughed strangely. Chu Yan couldn't do anything with these guys, so she had to rely on Zhang Niujiao. Who would have thought that when attacking the gall pottery, he was very happy and sad, and Zhang Niujiao, who was showing off his might in front, was shot under the horse by a cold arrow flying from nowhere.
Now it's okay, seeing that the boss was injured, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, the group of thieves was shocked, and they couldn't care about robbing things, so they ran away with a bull's horn. ran away in one breath, and saw that there was no Han army chasing after him, so he was relieved. Looking at Zhang Niujiao again, there was only one breath left, and before he died, he called all the major leaders over and instructed: "Brothers, Lao Tzu, I can't do it, I see that among you, the Chu Yan brothers are clever, and the rest, the rest are a group of fucking reckless men." cough, cough, after Lao Tzu died, you all listened to Brother Chu Yan, okay? ”
The thieves agreed with tears in their eyes. When Zhang Niujiao saw that everyone agreed, he closed his eyes, kicked his legs, and walked away. Everyone dug a pit nearby and buried Zhang Niujiao, crying all the way back to the lair. Then he looked at Chu Yan blankly, seeing what instructions the new big leader had.
Chu Yan saw that everyone was at a loss, so he sighed and said, "Brothers, you have also seen that although being a bandit is unrestrained, it is not a long-term solution after all. We are hidden between the valleys, with no land to plant, no money, no food, no food and clothing, so we can only rob, but can we people fight the endless Han army? If one of our brothers dies, there will be one less, but the Han army can continue to replenish. Even the Yellow Turban Rebels who swept the world disappeared in a snap of a finger, let alone us? ”
Then someone said, "Chief, if you have any good ideas, just say it." Let's hear it. ”
Chu Yan took a deep breath, swept his gaze over everyone, and said slowly: "In my opinion, if Mo Ruo demotes the official army and gets an official and a half-job to do, it can be regarded as a glorious ancestor, no matter what, it is better than being a bandit here with today and no tomorrow." What do you think? ”
Suddenly, someone fried the pot: "Boss Zhang's bones are not cold, you are going to take us to surrender?" Don't do it! Vows to fight with Hangou! ”
Chu Yan said angrily: "It is precisely because Boss Zhang's death is too worthless that I want to take you to live a peaceful life, you are going to fight with Hangou, so you go?" How did you run earlier and run faster than anyone else? ”
The man's face was red, and he was so blocked by Chu Yan that he couldn't speak.
Chu Yan said again: "I'm also very sad that Boss Zhang is dead, but I can't always think about Boss Zhang, and just ignore the lives of tens of thousands of brothers, right?" Let's take good care of Boss Zhang's wife and children in the future. Right? ”
Everyone thought about it for a while and felt that what Chu Yan said was so reasonable. So they silently agreed, and Chu Yan said again: "In the future, I will change my surname to Zhang, called Zhang Yan, the boss's family, I will take care of it, and none of you are allowed to be disrespectful to them!" ”
Chu Yan changed her name to Zhang Yan, although she was named Zhang Niujiao, she did not miss Zhang Jiao. Zhang Yan returned to the room, but he thought that he was outnumbered, so he rashly asked to surrender, just afraid that he would be eaten by the state and county, and then report it as a combat merit. If you go to Beijing, I'm afraid that the emperor will not have the heart to deal with this. Mo Ruo united with other bandits, created a momentum, fought a few more battles with the Han army, and then went to ask for surrender, so that he could have a better treatment.
Zhang Yan deserves to be brought out by Zhang Jiao. Just do it. So with Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, Hanoi and other thieves to communicate with each other, agreed to form an alliance to act together, so millions of thieves out of the mountains and forests, scourge the county, in the face of absolute superiority in troops, the county soldiers were defeated again and again, and later did not dare to fight, just according to the city.
For a while, the Central Plains shook, thinking that it was another wave of Yellow Turban Rebellion, and when the people were panicking, Zhang Yan suddenly sent an envoy to Beijing to beg for surrender. The emperor was worried about which way to transfer people to suppress the bandits, and he was overjoyed when he heard the report, so he worshiped Zhang Yan as the general of the middle of the peace, and the rest of the leaders had their own rewards, and made Zhang Yan specially responsible for the affairs of the valleys of Hebei.
As a result, Zhang Yan turned into a general of the imperial court, turning the Black Mountain thief into the Black Mountain Army.
Liu Bei was in Dongting, and when he had nothing to do, he went boating with Jian Yong and others in Xiaoao Lake. He had also ordered his subordinates to visit Jingzhou all over the world in order to seek a famous hermit, but unfortunately he didn't see any of them.
Because there was no chaos in the next few years at this time, Xu Shu, Sima Hui and other celebrities in his memory had not yet taken refuge in Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang, the poor child, was only a few years old, and his mother had just died, and he was in Mount Tai with his father, and it was far from the time when he went out of the mountain. Xiangyang Pang Degong's family, because Xiangyang was once occupied by the Yellow Turban, did not know where to hide for refuge. So Liu Bei was very depressed and found that after Liu Biao came to Jingzhou, he couldn't encounter this situation where a lot of celebrities and celebrities went to Jingzhou to settle down.
Although Liu Biao is a celebrity and one of the eight handsome, my reputation is not weaker than him, okay? Liu Bei secretly complained.
In fact, Liu Bei is still preparing to open a school in order to seek talents, but he is currently a general with a heavy army on the town guard, and establishing schools and revitalizing education are the work that the county and county guards should do. Liu Bei also estimated that there were people in the Beijing division who were waiting to pull his handle, and he was very low-key in his duty. Unless it is related to the military, there is no question about the affairs of the county.
Sometimes Liu Bei thinks that it is better to be a taishou, at least a county, and he has the final say. But he was reluctant to hold this army in his hands, and it was finally tempered in blood and fire, and it was difficult to gather it again after disbandment. Moreover, he also sent it to the court, saying that the war is over, is it time to give us an explanation. Will our army be disbanded on the spot, or will we continue to stay in Jingzhou? I don't know if the court is too busy or there is no good place to arrange for Liu Bei, but he hasn't given a reply. threw Liu Bei into Jingzhou and ignored it. Liu Bei originally wanted to continue to go up and down, but the military expenses were too big to afford. But later, I heard that Dong Zhuo was dismissed and returned to his hometown to raise a ministry, Sun Jian also took Huaisi heroes with him, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers are now in military positions...... They don't seem to be stupid. As a result, the urgency to disband the troops was also ninety percent gone. Let's just stay like this.
Only Cao Cao is still dedicating himself to the cause of the Han Dynasty and devoting himself to it. He served as the minister of Jinan, and as soon as he arrived, he found that corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant and lawless in the country. And most of these people rely on the powerful, and the previous ministers of state did not dare to manage it. Who is Lao Cao? The fledgling character who killed the eunuch's uncle with a baton, are you afraid of you? So as soon as he took office, he vigorously rectified, and when the examination was confirmed, he wrote to the imperial court, Jinan ten cities and counties, and he was dismissed by eight of them, and there were countless other small fish and shrimp.
The corrupt officials were terrified. The officialdom of the Han Dynasty is like this, you are an official, you are a good person, and you are promoted. If you don't deserve it well, you will be dismissed. Before being dismissed, go to Beijing first, and nine times out of ten you will go to prison. For example, Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang was convicted of stealing military funds, and his successor, Song Xiao, a wind-booster, was a nerd. When I arrived in Liangzhou, I saw that good guys, so many traitors, it must be the reason why I didn't study. So he discussed with the governors of Liangzhou and said: "Liangzhou is not academic, so it has repeatedly rebelled. Now I want to write more "Filial Piety Classics", so that every family can learn it, or make people know the righteousness. ”
The officials were stunned, not knowing how to deal with each other. Fortunately, Gai Xun was clever and advised: "...... Now it is not in a hurry to calm the difficult technique, it is an extraordinary thing, it is enough to complain about a state, and it should make fun of the imperial court, Xun does not know what it can do. ”
Song Xiao was refuted by Gai Xun and felt that he had no face, so he had to do this to live or die, and he also invited the court. As a result, when the court saw it, it was furious and asked you to go to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion, and you went there to let the people of the state write the "Book of Filial Piety", who are you kidding? So he sent an edict to Liangzhou, scolded him, and then sent it to Beijing for the crime of hypocrisy.
This is not a slack of government, it can only be said that it is a little stupid, and he was requisitioned back to Beijing. Cao Cao issued an order to exempt the cities in the name of corruption, and as soon as this was implemented, he would have to sit in prison if he didn't do it, so the corrupt officials were afraid, forget it, pack up and run for his life. Whoever likes to do this official will do it, anyway, Lao Tzu won't do it, besides, he has made enough money in the past few years. These people have abandoned their positions and fled. As soon as Cao Cao stretched out his hand, he made Jinan tremble, and the history of Jinan has been great since then, and a county has been peaceful.
Cao Cao was a high-ranking official of 2,000 stones at the beginning, and he governed a country in an orderly manner, so he couldn't help but feel a little complacent, so he wrote to Liu Bei and asked him, Xuande, what do you think I did?
Liu Bei read and read Cao Cao's letters, and in the letter, Cao Cao told him what he had done, no matter how big or small, one by one. He was in Jinan, in addition to eradicating corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he also banned extravagance. and the destruction of obscenity. Jinan people like to build temples to worship the gods, no matter which way the gods, they have to build a temple, worship it, and then every temple fair is very extravagant and wasteful. As a result, hundreds of temple fairs are held every year, and the organizations behind these temple fairs are making money, while the people are getting poorer and poorer. So Cao Cao destroyed all the messy temples of gods, immortals, and ghosts, leaving only the temples of gods and goddesses that the state explicitly allowed to worship. For example, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, such as the Sheji God and the like......
Then he built a school in Jinan to promote education...... I have to say that Cao Cao's ability is indeed very strong, and he has done a good job. However, as the so-called gun shot the first bird, Liu Bei remembered that Cao Cao should be yin soon after.
So Liu Bei solemnly told Cao Cao in his reply letter, pay attention to unity, be harmonious, ask for common ground while reserving differences, win over allies, and don't fight alone, otherwise you will offend too many people......
