Chapter Seventy-Seven: The World is Alive

Zhao Yun asked Yan Bei this question. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Maybe it's because this question is too difficult, or maybe it's because this question is also what Yanbei has been asking himself.

What great things does he want to do, what great things he wants to achieve?

He drank and had fun with many generals, but when he asked such a question, the only ones who aroused the doubts in his heart were only Fu Zhi and Zhao Yun.

This is not learning, learning, and even being a person, Bing Yuan can solve his doubts anytime and anywhere. Only his own heart can find the answer to this kind of thing, but he also feels a little confused in the face of the chaotic situation and relying on the rapid rise of military power.

Maybe it was just right to talk, maybe it was Zhao Yun's deference that made Yanbei feel good...... Maybe it's just that Yanbei needs someone to relieve this worry in his heart.

Yan Bei thought for a long time before he spoke: "Actually, to be honest, I don't know now. Everything has changed in the past few years, and so has everything around me. In the past, Yan was a small person, I had heard of many people, but no one had seen them, I had never seen them, and they had never seen me. Now, many people have heard of me and don't know what kind of person I am. I've seen people I've heard of before, and they've seen me, but most of them look down on me as a person. ”

"Although I can accept it and think about it, but honestly." Yan Bei had a rare sadness on his face, "Who can be comfortable in their hearts?" ”

Zhao Yun sighed silently, this moment made him feel that he was much closer to this famous young general. He is also an ordinary person, he may not love the people like a son as rumored in the market, but he may not be as murderous as the rumors in the market.

In this rumor, the general who was born in Manu came to the recent days, and when he came out at a young age, he rode in a chariot, and when he entered, he was a guard, and tens of thousands of horses listened to his orders. Although there have been tricks, how can the bitterness be known to outsiders?

"In the past, I wanted less, so I wanted to take a few poor brothers to see what the world was like in the mouths of dignitaries and nobles, and Zhong Ming Dingshi was just a hope. At that time, I was afraid, I was afraid of everything. I am afraid of starvation, I am afraid of dying of poverty, and I am afraid of being beaten to death. Later, I had 200 acres of land outside Fanyang City, and I became friends with the county's chief bookkeeper and gentry...... I have lived for twenty-two years, and the time I spent in Fanyang was the most comfortable time for me to live, I would not be hungry, poor, or die, because I was at peace. ”

"Then why did the general join the traitor, isn't it bad in Fan Yang?"

"To avenge the eldest brother, he took his life, so he could only run out of Youzhou and defect to his friend's distant brother, and became the leader of Zhongshan Zhang Gong's team. You think I want to rebel? That's right, it is estimated that the whole world thinks that Yan went to find Zhang Gong by himself. If you can make me like this, I guess there is no one else in the world. Yan Bei laughed self-deprecatingly, "I thought that I would be able to live in peace for two years after eating military salaries, but when the time comes, I will be mixed with a military horse, and I will be regarded as a glorious ancestor, and within two days, the captain asked me to recruit soldiers, I guessed that Zhang Gong was going to rebel, but I couldn't help it, where else could I go except Zhongshan?" ”

"I guess you know what happened later, attack Puyin first and kill all the people in the official office. After Wuji, the infighting killed the commander Pershing, and in order not to be killed by Zhang Gong, he risked attacking Julu and sweeping the north of Jizhou. Messy things followed, I didn't want to go north to leave Jizhou, Zhang was open and honest, and made me a captain, which made me grateful and sad. Captain, Zilong, that's a big man who broke the sky, and I became a captain like that. ”

"No way, I entrusted the soldiers and horses to Gao Axiu, who surrendered from Pingxiang City, and the old Handan County Lingfu Gonghe, they are all virtuous and noble people, I can't compare with just in case, I hope they can take my brother on the right path. Zhang Gong knew so well that Yan's life was returned to him, so when Gongsun Bogui chased and killed Zhang Gong, I followed him north along the road where Zhang Gong retreated to Youzhou. It's all luck, my brothers are loyal, 20,000 good sons and daughters of Jizhou followed me to gallop north, so we bypassed Zhuojun, went to Xianbei along the Juma River, went down to Liaodong from Xianbei, defeated Meng Yi, defeated Gongsun Zhan, and killed the fake son of heaven in order to protect Zhang Gong, and became a traitor in the eyes of the world...... I don't care. ”

"Do you know why I led the troops to Jizhou?"

Yan Bei asked, but Zhao Yun didn't react, he was still immersed in the shock brought to him by Yan Bei's narration of his life. What kind of person is this, born to be anti-bones, but he rode north alone for the sake of loyalty...... If it weren't for the 20,000 soldiers and horses crossing the state last year, he could imagine that he would never sit here and chat with Yan Bei, General Yan would have died in the chaos a long time ago.

He said that he was loyal and righteous, but he didn't care that the world regarded him as a traitor who sought glory and coveted wealth, and still went his own way.

Zhao Yun felt that he had seen the heart of the prestigious General Yan today, and perhaps it was not all. But he could think that if he hadn't said anything that touched Yanbei, maybe Yanbei would never have told him about killing Zhang Ju and saving Zhang Chun for the rest of his life.

Zhao Yun shook his head and asked, "Isn't it for the imperial court to quell the rebellion?" ”

"What does the court have to do with me? Yan received the official seal of the imperial court, but Yan, Liaodong County, as well as these school captains, Sima, and even every soldier, except for this chapter, we have eaten 4,000 stones of grain and grass in Youzhou Mansion, we have not eaten a grain of rice from the imperial court, and we have not taken a penny from the imperial court. Yan Bei was unruly and smiled proudly, "They are all raised by Yan, and the money and food are obtained by Yan Mou; The armor was snatched by Yan Mou...... What does it have to do with the imperial court? ”

Zhao Yun didn't think so, you are the captain of the imperial court, how can you only care about yourself? But he still had a question to ask, which seemed to him to be more crucial, and he asked, "If it wasn't for the imperial court, then why was the general?" ”

"You may think it's ridiculous to say it, but I'm for the people." Yan Bei didn't know that the words 'for the people' were buzzing in Zhao Yun's heart, just like Huang Zhong Da Lu buzzing, but he said to himself: "If Yan did not lead the troops north, the Black Mountain Army would not dare to go out of the mountain, Yan was deeply favored by the people of Jizhou, and 20,000 Jizhou soldiers followed the north to save Yan's life, but left their wives and children, fathers and veterans with disasters, this is a debt owed by Yan, and Yan must be repaid." ”

"In addition to the people, there are naturally many reasons, Liaodong needs to open up the wasteland if it wants to raise grain and grass, and it needs the population to open up the wasteland; If the road in Jizhou is not open to Liaodong, it is difficult to know the situation in the world; Liu Gong also showed his kindness to Yan again, and this kindness cannot be repaid; My friend's death in Jizhou was a disaster for Montenegro, and bringing back his body is also the reason, so no matter what, I want to come to Jizhou to fight this ...... Zilong? ”

Yan Bei chattered, but inadvertently saw Zhao Yun's hand pressing his knee and clutching his knees, his eyes were red under his drooping forehead, and he hurriedly asked, "Why is this?" ”

"In the eyes of the general, there is no world, only the common people."

Zhao Yun's summary was incisive, but Yanbei was unmoved. He was just a little worried, why did his new subordinate suddenly become so excited, if he hadn't been stimulated before?

In all fairness, Zhao Yun is a good subordinate in Yanbei's heart, there is not much gossip, the military orders in the past were done as soon as they were ordered, and the recruitment of troops is also some talent, and hundreds of people were recruited in more than ten days, and he used to recruit soldiers for the first time under Wang Zheng before relying on the identity of the Yellow Turban Yu Party to pull 700 people, and Zhao Yun has done a good job.

Today this is, what's wrong?

"It's not that there is no world, there is a Liaodong where the people can live and work in peace and contentment, eat and dress warmly, isn't it. It's better to worry about the world than to do it right now. ”

Zhao Yun was very sad, his chest was full of all living beings in the world. Everyone has their own beliefs, and if you find someone with the same beliefs, you will have the meaning of seeing each other and hating each other. Now Zhao Yun has found Yanbei, a general who has mercy on the people, but this general's character and deeds often have shocking things, which make his chest feel stuffy.

It's like a farmer digging in the field but digging up a piece of beautiful jade, but the jade is broken into powder in the blink of an eye.

It's hard to say whether to be happy or sorry.

"The world that the clouds see is ten rooms and nine emptiness, and the lives are devastated. The heroic rebels in various places rely on violence, regard the people as fish and meat, wise men and capable people, use fraud as talent, and help and abuse in order to make a name for themselves. The heroes built Wu forts to defend themselves, and the scholars talked about morality, but only a few helped the poor. After years of military disasters and hardships, people only saw heroes but did not see the corpses and bones piled up beside the road...... The general has thousands of soldiers in his hands, and he also has mercy on the people and has the livelihood of helping the people, so why not save the people from fire and water? ”

Zhao Yun said with deep affection, but Yan Bei let out a long sigh.

"I'm saving, I've helped everything I can, even if there is no food, I have to find a way to save people." Yan Bei shook his head slowly, he respected Zhao Yun very much for having such ideals and ambitions, but this kind of ambition was too difficult for him now. "I want to save Zhang Chun alone, thousands of soldiers under him died because of this, and the whole Jizhou was in chaos because of this; I wanted to save tens of thousands of people in Zhongshan, but the water flooded Taosheng, drowned thousands of Montenegrin troops, and the flood rushed downstream to destroy people's farmland and houses, and the piled corpses came out of the plague, and thousands of people died because of it. Do you say I'm alive, or am I killing someone? ”

"Actually, I have come up with a way, after pacifying Jizhou, I will govern the people of the county with peace of mind, so that Liaodong can feed more people, the Central Plains is chaotic, and let it be chaotic, that's something that the big people have to worry about, I can't control it." Yan Bei smiled, this idea has become clearer and clearer since he slept in the Wangdu stable for a night, "For the people, they need to have this place without calamity, Liaodong County, that is, Liaodong County. ”

Zhao Yun wanted to say something more, but he heard a soldier outside the tent running quickly, holding a letter and bowing down: "Report to the general, Zhang Sima sent an urgent letter from Anguo!" ”

"What urgent letter?" Yan Bei frowned and took the letter and glanced at it, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Yuan Benchu's general, it only takes a letter to enter Zhongshan, why break in!" ”

The letter was written with Zhang Jaw that Yuan Shao's troops were about to enter Zhongshan, and Zhang Jaw did not dare to attack their soldiers and horses without authorization, so they had to be trapped in the city.

When Yanbei saw this letter of hurrying down the trail, the soldiers and horses had already marched to Yuri and entered the territory of Zhongshan!
