The Ten Lives of All Beings

Jiangnan Scholar (10)

When Li Wei was frightened, he saw a person dressed as a small official running out of the door, with a gray face, and he didn't look at Li Wei, and hurriedly left the wilderness.

Li Wei was frightened for a moment, straightened his clothes, and walked into the house. The furnishings were simple, but spotless, and in the center of the room sat a man in his forties, with a white face and a slight beard, and a pale face, who seemed to be angry at something.

Li Wei hurriedly bowed: "Student Li Wei Li Zhongyuan, meet Master Fu." ”

Fu Xie's face softened slightly, waved his hand to signal Li Wei to get up, and said with a wry smile: "Zhong Yuan is a subordinate of Gongwei, and they are all his own people, so there is no need to be polite." Now the situation in Liangzhou is chaotic, but his subordinates are all corpses and vegetarians, and none of them can do anything, so there are often nameless fires recently, and Zhong Yuan laughed. ”

"That being the case, although the students are despicable, they are willing to share the worries of the adults as soon as possible."

Fu Xie stroked his beard and said: "Don't worry, Zhong Yuan has just arrived, and the journey is tiring, so let's rest for a few days and then appoint the division." ”

Li Wei was anxious, so he didn't care about the etiquette, and said strongly: "When the student is cold, he has already saved his intention to sacrifice his life for the country, and he only asks the adults to pay their duties quickly, so that the students can serve the country wholeheartedly." After saying that, he bowed down again.

Fu Xie's face changed slightly, and he was stunned for a long time, and then he said slowly: "Since Zhong Yuan has this determination, then you will first serve as the county's Peng Priest Sacrifice Bar, it turns out that the one was dismissed by me a few days ago, I hope Zhong Yuan will not disappoint me, the county's upbringing industry will depend on Zhong Yuan from now on, I still have something to do, you go and rest first, and please take office tomorrow." ”

Li Wei was overjoyed, and hurriedly retreated, Fu Xie watched Li Wei walk out of the door, and secretly sneered: "I don't know the height of the sky when I am young, and I dare to come to Xiliang to die at such a season." Today's Luoyang gentlemen are not small, and they regard the battlefield as a place to accumulate fame. After speaking, he stood up, looked at the topographic map of Xiliang hanging on the wall, frowned, and commanded the attendants outside the door in a loud voice: "Call Hua Sima for me." ”

Li Wei was completely ignorant of Shangguan's ridicule, and happily returned to the post house, and when he entered the room, he saw Xie Ming sitting at the table playing chess with a person, shaking a feather fan, and seemed to have won the battle. Seeing Li Wei come in, Xie Ming smiled and said, "Zhong Yuan is so slow, I have already killed your future colleagues here." ”

The man was about thirty years old, with an elegant appearance, and when he heard this, he threw the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box, and laughed: "Xie Yongzhi's chess skills are worthy of being a must in Luoyang, I haven't seen you for a year, and my brother is even farther away from you, it seems that I will be pressed by you in this life." After speaking, he turned around and arched his hand to Li Wei, "In Xia Yang Hui, he served as the chief bookkeeper of this county, and this Xie Ming has been a chess friend for many years, today I heard that Brother Li came to Yicheng with him, so he hurriedly came to the door to disturb, Brother Li has already met the envoy?" ”

Li Wei hurriedly returned the salute and said: "I have seen Lord Yang, Wei has already met Fu Envoy, thanks to Lord Envoy Jun for not giving up, let me be the priest of the wine." ”

Yang Hui's smile suddenly froze, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he soon smiled again: "Congratulations to Zhong Yuan, then we are already colleagues, and we will be closer in the future." Li Wei didn't feel anything wrong with his scholarly spirit, and happily returned the courtesy, but Xie Ming on the side saw this detail in his eyes and thought to himself.

The three of them went to the street to find a wine shop, found an elegant room to drink and chat, and talked about some allusions to the Western cool style, which was very speculative. After three rounds of drinking, Xie Ming suddenly asked Yang Hui with a straight face: "I know that Brother Ziming is a gentleman, and I don't think I will deceive my friends in the future. There are no outsiders here, so let's just say it. ”

Yang Hui smiled bitterly, drank all the contents of the cup, sighed and said: "I know I can't hide it from you, in fact, my family makes the monarch an honest official, and he has always hated the nepotism of Han officialdom. After speaking, he pointed at Li Wei, "But Lord Qiantang Hou Zhu is famous in the sea, and his face is too big to be deduced, so the envoy reluctantly agreed." I expected that the adults would be unhappy early, and today I really gave Zhong Yuan an idle position. ”

"Idle?" Li Wei was greatly surprised, "The responsibility of being in charge of the education of a county is extremely important, how can it be regarded as an idle job?" ”

"I expected that Zhong Yuan must not know the joints, so I didn't want to say it." Yang Hui poured himself another glass of wine and held it in his hand, "This time is different from the past, since the chaos in Xiliang, the wealthy family would rather raise their children by themselves, the ordinary scholars have long been dismissed, and the matter of recommending filial piety has also stopped for several years, and the people are displaced, how can they send their children to study, so now in the Liangzhou territory, the position of sacrificing wine is an out-and-out idle job." All I did was put together some paperwork. ”

"How can it be so 。。。。。。" Li Wei didn't want to join the Northern Army because he didn't want to eat idle meals, but he didn't expect that now he was still idle in Liangzhou, and he only felt that his enthusiasm for serving the country was extinguished by cold water. Xie Ming was also surprised, the two of them were relatively speechless, and they both froze there for a while.

Yang saw that the two of them looked deeply shocked, and comforted them with a smile: "Zhong Yuan doesn't have to be discouraged, it's already spring now, presumably Han, Bian, Beigong and other thieves are ready to move, once the war starts, it is the time to employ people." Although the adults are a little stubborn, they are not pedantic people, as long as Zhong Yuan shows more talents, he is not afraid that he will not be able to take on heavy responsibilities when the time comes. ”

After all, Li Xie and the others were young and optimistic, and they were easily convinced, so they immediately let go, continued to talk with Yang Hui, and pushed the cup to change the lamp.

Xie Ming stayed for a few more days, then resigned and returned to Luoyang, and Li Wei officially took office and officially began his career in Xiliang. As Yang Hui said, now the Pengzhou officials in Liangzhou are sacrificing wine, and they are really a job that can no longer be idle, and there are no ordinary things at all, even the subordinate officials have been transferred to other places, and only an old man in his sixties is engaged in helping to do some work, and he will do some work such as sorting out documents and transcribing every day. At the beginning, Li Wei was full of spirit from Yang Hui's words, and wanted to attract Fu Xie's attention by speeding up the processing speed, but later found that Fu Xie was busy deploying military rations, renovating war equipment, recruiting soldiers, strengthening the city wall, etc., and had no time to care about him, as if he had never had Li Wei, a subordinate. Li Wei saw that his efforts were in vain, and his heart was slow, so he didn't care about any documents, he read the subset of scriptures and history every day, the art of war, or wrote letters to Luoyang's friend and lover Xiao Lan, and drank and played chess with Yang Hui every day in his spare time.

The war in Xiliang also started as scheduled, and the captain Zhang Wen personally led the northern army into Liang to quell the rebellion, and together with the local general Dong Zhuo of Liangzhou, the general Zhou Shen and other troops, he rode more than 100,000 and stationed troops in Meiyang. Han Sui, Bian Zhang and the Qiang rebelled to get this information, and took advantage of the unstable foothold of the official army to raise troops to march to Meiyang. Hundreds of thousands of troops crowded and tore apart on the battlefield within a radius of more than ten miles, although the officers and soldiers were outnumbered, but they were hastily assembled, coordinated with each other, fought separately, and were beaten by the Qiang iron cavalry, suffering unspeakably, and suffering heavy losses. Zhang Wen had no choice but to gather the army and retreat to defend the front line of Chang'an, while asking the imperial court for reinforcements. The news of the unfavorable war penetrated to Yicheng, and suddenly the city was full of gloom and gloom, and many people moved away with their families every day, and then most people saw that it was too late to escape, so they simply stayed behind and helped strengthen the city defense. Taishou Fu Xie is even more with Sima Huaxiong, and the chief bookkeeper Yang Hui is so busy that he can't stop his feet, trying his best to make more preparations for the upcoming battle to defend the city, looking at the busy soldiers and people on the street, Li Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly. A few days ago, he asked Fu Xie for help again, and was "politely" prevaricated by Fu Xie, and now he has become the only idler in the busy Yicheng before the war, just helping the people carry some equipment and bricks every day. "Is it really useless to be a scholar?" Li Wei looked at the sweat-soaked training recruits and neatly draped officers in the school yard in the distance, and couldn't help but be a little envious of these warriors.

In May, the imperial court finally sent reinforcements to Xiliang, who had been asking for help for a long time. Li Hongshuai, a world-famous general who was famous for pacifying hundreds of thousands of people in Hebei, rode 54,000 people in Hebei. This new force is as fierce as the legend and lucky, first fighting a beautiful resistance battle at Maverick Mountain, and turning defeat into victory. After that, he drove straight in, carried out a night attack on Linghe, captured tens of thousands of Qiang people, beheaded more than 10,000 people, and captured the Qiang fierce general who gave Captain Zhang and the soldiers of the Northern Army a headache, Beigong Boyu. At this time, the situation in Xiliang was reversed almost overnight, and the imperial court regained the absolute initiative, and with Bian Zhang's serious illness and the centrifugation of the rebel soldiers, it seemed that the Xiliang war, which had plagued the Han Dynasty for a long time, would be pacified immediately.

The reversal of the tide of the war also led to a change in the psychology of the people in the war zone, and as soon as the originally tense strings were loosened, people became lazy. The Taishou Mansion was also full of laughter, as strict as Fu Xie Huaxiong also smiled at every subordinate he saw, and the long-awaited peace seemed to be really within reach. Soon, Fu Xie left Yicheng and went to the military camp of the leopard Li Hong, handing over all the defense of the city to Yang Hui and Hua Xiong. The market of merchants in the city has been restored, and the people have taken to the streets, looking at the long-lost peaceful scene.

Li Wei, who was watching coldly, was suspicious of the current peace situation, the leopard's bite did bite the Xiliang rebels very hard, but the main force of the rebels was still there. And the Han and Qiang problems that really led to the chaos in Liangzhou, none of the corrupt officials have been solved, how can Xiliang really calm down, and when the rebels take a breath, I am afraid that there will still be chaos. "But in this situation, if you say such things, as an idler, I'm afraid it's not very useful except to dislike people." Li Wei thought helplessly.

Li Wei had nothing to do, so he read Luoyang's letter. In addition to writing letters to say hello, several brothers in Luoyang also collected a lot of information in all aspects, because of the participation of the "news king" Yin Si, so all kinds of information can almost be described as "vast" in the past few months. "Huh?" Li Wei was suddenly attracted by a piece of news, the general He Jin since the situation in Xiliang improved, he often gathered his advisers, and seemed to have a plan. Li Wei thought of Lord Taishou's recent rush to mention the issue of Xiliang's anti-corruption, and then linked to the He family and other wealthy clans' deep-rooted forces in Xiliang, and suddenly understood in his heart: It seems that an unprecedented anti-corruption storm is probably about to be started by this leopard in the north in Xiliang.

"It's ridiculous that these wealthy families, princes and nobles, at such a time, still don't care about the Han Dynasty at all, and only think about the honor and disgrace of their families. If such a country is corrupted, what will he do? Li Wei thought of this, and he was also taken aback by this rebellious idea, yes, whether it is the teacher Zhu Jun, Wang Fu Wang Jian, or his past self, they all consider the rise and fall of the world from the perspective of saving the Han. But in the world, how can it be a world with one surname, Qin loses the world, and the heroes of the world chase it. The 400-year-old Han Dynasty was also established in the smoke of the collapse of the old dynasty. In this way, for the sake of the people of the world, even if the Han Dynasty is really replaced by the new dynasty and new generation, it can be regarded as the end of life, and I can't complain about others.

With this thought, Li Wei began to secretly consider today's heroes in his heart, there are indeed some talents among the gate lords and doctors, but how can those people understand the suffering of the people? Although there are many heroes, the foundation is too thin, and it seems that it will be difficult to become an atmosphere in the short term. Thinking about it, it seems that only the generals who defend one side have the ability to compete in the world, and among these generals, it seems that the leopard Li Hong is the most suitable. First of all, he had been exiled as a slave of the Xianbei people, and fled back to the Han Dynasty after nine deaths, and must have known that the people were poor and did not have the habit of scholars, second, he repeatedly made military merits, and the speed of promotion was also the first case in the Han Dynasty, and there were tens of thousands of male soldiers, if he could defend one side again, it can be said that the capital was abundant, and third, his luck seemed to be excellent. "Isn't this the fortune of the emperor?" Li Wei was inspired by his own thoughts, "If I can support myself under him, not only will I save the people from fire and water in the future, but I may also be able to pay homage to the prime minister and show my strengths, wouldn't it be better than being a small official in this bitter cold place?" ”

As Li Wei thought, the leopard Li Hong dared to act, not only arrested thousands of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but also did not respect the king's order, cut off all 3,000 heads, and used his family as prostitutes. Xie Ming also wrote a letter to evaluate Li Hong as "fierce and cruel, uneducated, and a tiger and wolf." Overkill, don't know how to advance or retreat, and kill yourself" Li Wei looked extremely disdainful, very people do extraordinary things, these moths are left to waste rice and grain, and there is often a way to get out, in order to avoid harming the people in the future, killing them all is the most thorough way, the leopard now has a large army, as long as he does not easily let go of power, what can the gang of people in the DPRK and China do to him?

Just when everyone in the world thought that the leopard would not escape this catastrophe, the Xiliang traitors actually reorganized their army and resurrected it, and Han Sui cut off the dissidents, and was supported by the Qiang tribe such as June Thunder, and the troops seemed to be stronger than before. So the argument of killing the leopard ended without a problem, and the leopard led the troops unscathed, while the wealthy family could only eat coptis dumbly, and they couldn't say the bitterness.

Wing City is once again mired in war, and the hectic scene of the past is restored. However, this time, the gods and Buddhas did not favor Yicheng again, and the traitor's army of 100,000 finally came to the city soon after, and the army stretched for several miles, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and some arrows had even been shot into the Taishou Mansion. The officers and troops were soon assembled nearby, but they were only half as large as the rebels, and the situation was not optimistic because they lacked the most elite Fengyun Iron Cavalry.

Ten days later, the battle was really unfavorable, and Fu Xie decided to take the initiative to attack and buy time for the officers and soldiers. Sima Huaxiong gathered 1,500 soldiers, led by Fu Xie himself, and burned the rebels. Many of the officials in the Taishou Mansion also volunteered to go out of the city, and the entire Taishou Mansion was empty, but Li Wei had no intention of doing this mortal thing, but just sat alone in the governance office and read a book. Suddenly, he saw Yang Hui dressed in a military uniform, and hurriedly ran in: "Zhong Yuan, I have something to ask for, you must promise me." ”

Li Wei was surprised: "Ziming, you are dressed like this。。。。。。 Do you want to go out of the city to meet the enemy? Didn't you entrust your son to take care of you? ”

"That's right, but I'm determined to die with my lord, so I can't be ordered, and I plan to entrust my son to you." Yang Hui grabbed Li Wei's shoulder and said, "Although we have known each other for a short time, and you don't want to say much on weekdays, I know that you are a gentleman and will definitely complete my entrustment, I only ask you, who do you plan to hand over your son to." ”

Li Wei thought for a while, and then said: "Stabilize Wang Scissors, you can be a Master." ”

Yang Hui nodded gratefully, didn't say much, and pushed the door away. Li Wei looked at his thin back, and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart: "Big man, big man, how many more loyal hot-blooded men do you need to pay for your life?" Is it all worth it? ”

Soon after Yang Hui left, Li Wei took Fu Xie's son Fu Gan and took refuge in the pre-dug tunnels with some people. Listening to the faint sound of war drums, iron hooves, shouting and killing, and smelling the suffocating air in the tunnel, Li Wei felt for the first time the horror of war and his own helplessness. When he was feeling sorry for himself, he suddenly heard a loud bang, Li Wei instinctively pressed Fu Gan under him, and then seemed to be hit by a huge force, and the whole person lost consciousness.

"Hey, are you awake, do you want to drink water?" Li Wei vaguely heard the human voice, opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw that in a big tent, an old man dressed as a soldier was looking down at him, "Young man's luck is really good, the tunnel where you are hiding was collapsed, but you just fell into a big hole, only suffering flesh wounds, but if the army enters the city later, you and the young man will probably be suffocated to death." ”

Li Wei turned his head and saw Fu Gan sleeping peacefully on the side, as if he was fine, he must have thought of the old man's "army" words, and hurriedly asked: "Whose team are you, and who won the battle?" ”

"Hehe, this is the wounded barracks of the Hebei Army." The old man smiled proudly: "How can there be anyone in the world who can beat my leopard handsome?" Of course we won. Xiliang's bunch of rabbits are fierce, but they are still worse than us Hebei people. ”

"Ah, you are a sergeant of the leopard, old man, please help me spread the word, this son is the son of Fu Xie Fu Envoy, and he was entrusted to me to take care of Fu Envoy Jun before he died, and below is Li Wei, the official of Hanyang County, I want to see Li Hong and Li Zhonglang."

The old man was also startled, and hurriedly ran out, Li Wei suddenly felt very nervous, God seemed to suddenly favor him, not only for the rest of his life, but also to get the opportunity to see the leopard Li Hong immediately, so the destiny he dreamed of, is it just around the corner? Is his ambition to save all the people of the world come true from now on? What will happen to him on the road ahead?
