three kings

Chapter 221 Entering the Central Plains Lingling Liu Ba
"Great general, there is a saying in "Mencius: Dedicated Heart", 'Is it possible to obey fate and accept its righteousness; that is why those who know their fate do not stand under a rock wall. Those who die after doing their best are righteous; those who shackle the dead are not righteous. Fate also.' The sub-sage Mencius said that there is nothing in the world that is not determined by the destiny. Obey the destiny and accept the normal destiny. Therefore, those who understand the destiny will not stand under the dangerous wall.

Because only by retaining a useful body can one ride the wind and waves and achieve unrivaled hegemony. "Xun Yu has recovered after the doctor's treatment.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, it's just loss of strength and cramps. After rubbing for a while and taking a rest, everything will be fine.As soon as he returned to the government office, Xun Yu tried his best to persuade him.

Sun Can raised his hands high and said helplessly: "Yes! Mr. Wen Ruo, Wen Ruo is a great scholar, Sun Can knows his mistake, thank you Xun Gongcao for your guidance!" Having said that, facing Xun Yu's serious and serious face, his heart is He complained endlessly.

I am a willful person, I have never liked etiquette, and I yearn for the days when I can do whatever I want without restraint. Even if the two armies are at war, when my temper comes, I will step on the horse and go to the battlefield in the name of boosting morale Charge for a while.However, Xun Yu was extremely well-behaved and meticulous. Listening to his teachings made Sun Can feel like listening to his father's chanting when he was a child, just like going to the execution ground.

"My lord, you are the second vassal in the world at this moment, and you are the most capable contender to unify the world in the future. There are many people who want the head of the lord. How can you go to such a meaningless banquet?" Xun Yu didn't say anything. He planned to let Sun Can go. In his eyes, Sun Can's fault was too great.For the image problem on weekdays, he can say a few words at most.However, this matter was related to Sun Can's life, so he had to consider it seriously.

"What do you want my head to do?" Sun Can said innocently.

Xun Yu stared at Sun Can with wide eyes and said, "My lord, don't you know that your head has become very valuable now? Your recent actions have made the heads of the world's princes as big as a fight. First, the weak defeated the strong, and the [-] army was defeated." Yuan Shu's expeditionary army of [-] people won Huainan, and now he has conquered Liu Biao, who is stronger than himself, and unified Jingzhou. No matter which princes you are, of course they will be wary of you.

In the north, Yuan Shao's disciples are numerous and powerful, and the lord is his number one enemy.Although Cao Cao has formed an alliance with us, he can still send a killer to assassinate you. "

Sun Can argued: "It's not that you haven't tried my skills. How could I be assassinated by a few killers, not to mention that there is such a master as Zhong Kang."

"No matter how strong a person is, there are times when he is negligent, let alone the master's martial arts is not yet superior." Xun Yu raised his voice.

"That's right!" Sun Can smiled "hehe" and admitted his mistake: "Okay, Wen Ruo, I know, I must pay attention next time, I must pay attention."

Xun Yu is also very helpless, he himself is good at everything, his intelligence, temperament, and mentality are the best choices to become a master, but he just has a bad temper and is too foolish. He doesn't care about his own safety at all, and sighed: " My lord, one person is responsible for the well-being of all the people. Now the people in Jinghuai have enough food and clothing, all thanks to the lord's merit. The princes of the four directions dare not come to fight because of the lord's prestige. If the lord makes any mistakes, the princes of the four directions will definitely meet Take advantage of the situation and enter. The land of Jinghuai will once again be caught in the flames of war, and the people will not be able to settle down.

I hope the lord will take care of the safety of tens of millions of people in Jinghuai, and take good care of yourself.Only by retaining a useful body can we achieve hegemony and fulfill the common wish of you and me. "

"En!" Sun Can nodded solemnly.

Xun Yu understood the principle of stopping when enough is enough, paused slightly, and said, "Does my lord know about the barbarians in Wuling?"

Sun Can pondered for a while, then asked: "But the tribe of the "Wulingyi" Tianjiang back then?"

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, the nephew of the Empress Wang Zhengjun of the Han Yuan Dynasty, usurped the Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor after being abdicated by Ruziying.He also looked down on the frontier vassals, cut the king into a marquis, and constantly provoked wars against the Xiongnu and various ethnic groups in the northeast and southwest.Taxes and servitude are heavy, and punishment and administration are harsh.

A series of actions aroused the dissatisfaction of the people all over the world. Farmers from all over the country revolted one after another, forming the red eyebrow and green forest uprising.

In the rebel army, there are several units that are particularly brave. They are "Wulingyi" Tianjiang, "Lingyangman", "Jizhongman", "Wuman" and "Lizhongman". They wear iron armor, Able to climb mountains and ridges, good at using bows and arrows, he is indomitable, especially good at defensive warfare and surprise attack.

Compared with the elite of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty at that time, he was one of the powerful teams at that time.

"Exactly." Xun Yu nodded.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Sun Can asked curiously when he saw Xun Yu suddenly asked this question.

"The Wuling barbarians are located in the mountainous area in the west of Wuling County, where the rural areas are remote and the living environment is harsh. The people of the tribe make a living by farming, fishing, hunting and mountain felling. Therefore, they often have a meal. Therefore, in order to survive the winter, the Wuling barbarians in the mountains live every year. When there is a good harvest, an army will go down the mountain to plunder the grain."

He paused and said: "At this moment, it is the harvest year of Jingzhou, and it is also the time when the Wuling barbarians go down the mountain to plunder food. Although they have not acted at this time, they must be guarded. The combat capabilities of the Wuling barbarians have been gambled in history. .”

Sun Can nodded silently.

At that time, Geng Yan, the general of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, said that the combat capability of Tianjiang's troops in "Wulingyi" was no less than his troops.

Geng Yan was the great general of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, one of the "28 Generals of Yuntai", with outstanding military exploits. He led the battle at the age of 21 and conquered more than 46 cities in 46 counties. He was invincible, which is rare in the history of the Han Dynasty. A general who has suffered defeat. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" also said that "Yanfan Suoping County [-], slaughtered three hundred cities, and there was no setback." The troops under his command are truly the first army of the Han Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Sun Can felt envious for a while, when his Yuwei army would be qualified to be called the number one army in the world.

"Wen Ruo..." He pondered for a while, and then thought: "Is there any way to solve this matter without bloodshed? Our army is really not conducive to fighting now. It is best to befriend the Wuling barbarians, and of course let them surrender to us Better." The last sentence is the main meaning of Sun Can.

Xun Yu knew that his lord had once again fallen in love with talents, so he didn't answer directly, but respectfully smiled and said, "I don't have any ideas. But I can recommend someone to my lord. Knowing it like the palm of your hand must be of great benefit to the Lord’s will.”

Sun Can was suddenly very curious: "To be so respected by Wen Ruo, I think this person's reputation is well-deserved. Wen Ruo, which great sage did you recommend? Ask him to meet."

"This man's surname is Liu, his name is Ba, and he is Zichu. He is from Lingling, and his strategies are not weaker than those of his subordinates. He is a rare scholar in the world." Xun Yu said with a smile: "He has been living in seclusion for a few years. He does not associate with others. His grandfather, Liu Yao, was originally the prefect of Cangwu, and he had some friendship with Ren Shanyue King, so he knew some inside stories about Shanyue. If he used them, he would definitely get good results. Being in contact with the world and not being good at interacting with others, most people in the world have never heard of him, and only those who are knowledgeable will be amazed by his talents."

When Sun Can heard the first sentence, he was overjoyed, because this Liu Ba was a civil servant under his command, a talent recommended by Kuai Liang to him, and now he is the governor of Nanjun, assisting Kuai Yue, the prefect of Nanjun, in governing Nanjun, he couldn't help laughing heartily Said: "It turned out to be him, Wen Ruo quickly invited him over, and Chan wanted to talk to him face to face."

Xun Yu smiled and said, "This man is now living in the Xiangyang Station, and Duke Ming can call him to see him right now."

Sun Can secretly praised that Xun Yu is worthy of being a housekeeper. He handles these trivial matters properly without any mistakes. After admiring, he laughed and said: "If Liu Badwen praises so much, he must not be an ordinary person. .Sun Can didn’t know anyone well, so he transferred him to Kuai Yue’s command to work. It’s really a shame. To express my apology, Sun should go to pay a visit in person, you and I will go now!”

Sun Can got up in a hurry and walked towards the post with Xun Yu.

Since the post house was specially used to entertain important ministers of history, civil and military affairs, it was built near the government office for convenience. In a short while, Sun Can walked into the other courtyard where Liu Ba lived.

Liu Ba thinks very highly of himself, and he was quite dissatisfied with Sun Can's letting him be the governor of South County.I wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, I stayed to see what kind of ability Sun Can has, and let many talents work for him.One year has passed, and Sun Can's deeds have really made him impeccable. He has both the talent for governing the world and enough courage.The most important thing is that there is no laziness of a superior at all, military and political affairs, never trouble others, and handle them in an orderly manner.In just one and a half years, Jingzhou has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Knowing that Sun Can came to invite him in person, Liu Ba's dissatisfaction was all eliminated, and he hurried out of the hall to meet him.

Sun Can supported Liu Ba in time, and said with a smile, "I have wronged Mr. Can, and let Mr. Can be humiliated. It is really wrong for him to be subdued by the long history. Sun Can will apologize to Mr. "

Liu Ba was arrogant, but his bearing was not small. Moreover, Sun Can was not misplaced. He himself was not in harmony with the group. Except for some familiar people, few people knew his abilities.Another key point is that he doesn't like to show off his talents, and his talents can only be brought into play when he is working.

The problem is that Sun Can didn't know this, and when he met Liu Ba for the first time, Liu Ba didn't show himself well.Therefore, Sun Can only thought of his personal talent, not a great talent, so he was asked to go to Nanjun as the chief historian.

Liu Ba understood that the problem was with him, and said humbly, "It's all because the subordinates are not good at expressing themselves, not the master's fault."

"Okay..." Sun Can laughed happily: "Stop arguing with me, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong now, the important thing is that Mr. Liu is still there. Mr. stay in Xiangyang in the future, listen to the text If you say that Mister is extremely intelligent and well-versed in military strategy, then you will help him handle important military affairs at Fengxiao's place in the future! I don't know what Mr. will do?"

Liu Ba said: "I wish to do the work of a dog and a horse."

Sun Can asked: "It is rumored that Mr. Wuling has a better understanding of the barbarians. I wonder if Mr. has a way to deal with the upcoming looting."
