Chapter 40 Correspondence

After talking about Sun Jian, I have to talk about another protagonist of this era - Liu Bei. Even though he is still under someone's roof, he has no special actions. Even if Wen Chou deliberately inquired, he does not have any effective information. This is the rather bumpy and difficult early life of the "Emperor Zhaolie".

It was also a great luck to meet Guan Zhang at the beginning. Later, he seemed to have used up all his luck. Zi, the major princes were in trouble until after the Battle of Chibi. He had just started to work hard and became one of the three giants. Now, he should still be doing odd jobs with his old classmate Gongsun Zan! Therefore, Wen Chou did not pay much attention to him.

Speaking of Liu Bei, we must talk about his old classmate Gongsun Zan. They once studied under Lu Zhi's disciples, had a good relationship and had a good relationship, so Liu Bei would hang the seal after whipping the Supervisor and directly defect to Gongsun Zan. This paragraph was slightly changed in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the Supervisor who whipped the Supervisor became Liu Bei's "third brother" Zhang Fei.

It was said before that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Bian Zhang and Han Sui rebelled in Liangzhou. The court recruited 3,000 elite cavalry from Youzhou and gave Gongsun Zan the Fujie to act as the commander of the three thousand cavalry. When Gongsun Zan led his army to Jizhong, Zhang Chun, a native of Yuyang, and Zhang Ju lured Qiu Liju, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, and others to rebel and captured the cities of the vassal states of Youbeiping County and the four counties in western Liaoning.

Gongsun Zan used these three thousand cavalry to pursue Zhang Chun and other rebels, made military achievements, and was promoted to the cavalry commander. At this time, the leader of the Wuhuan Kingdom, King Tanzhi, led his troops to surrender to Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan was promoted to the General of the Central Army and was granted the title of Duting Hou and entered the vassal state. In the following five or six years, he continued to fight with the northern nomadic peoples.

At the beginning of this year, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Chun, Qiu Liju and others fought at the Shimen of Shu Kingdom. Zhang Chun and others were defeated. Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun left their wife and children and fled into the Xianbei territory. Gongsun Zan continued to pursue. Because he went too deep, he was besieged by Qiu Liju in Guanzi City in western Liaoning for more than 200 days. The food was gone and the soldiers were defeated, and most of the soldiers were killed and injured.

Fortunately, Qiu Li's army was exhausted and he went away from Liucheng. It was because Gongsun Zan was successful. The court ordered Gongsun Zan to be appointed as the captain of the surrendered captain, and was granted the title of Duting Marquis, and also the chief of the vassal state. Gongsun Zan has since commanded the troops and guarded the border. This is what Wen Chou knew about Gongsun Zan, and of course he has heard a little about Gongsun Zan's reputation.

That thing is: Gongsun Zan is a noble child, but because of his mother's humble background, he could only serve as Shuzu. Because of his beauty, loud voice and talent, he was appreciated by the prefect Liu Jun. He was invited to be his son-in-law. Later, he was appointed as the imperial chariot when the prefect Liu Jun was sent to the prefect Rinan. When Liu was illegally sent to the prefect Rinan, he dared to disguise himself as a soldier and escort along the way. On the way, Liu was pardoned. After Gongsun Zan returned, he was praised as a filial and honest person for his virtue and was appointed as the chief of the vassal state of Liaodong, which was a great resounding statement!

Gongsun Zan is also like Sun Jian and Wen Chou. He is a military man and is brave in combat! There is a rumor: "Every time he hears the enemy attack, Gongsun Zan immediately speaks fiercely. When fighting, he seems to be hitting his enemy, and even defeats him late at night. From then on, Wuhuan was afraid of Gongsun Zan's courage and dared not invade again. Gongsun Zan often rode white horses with dozens of people around him who were good at riding and shooting, and called himself "Baima Yicong"."

Gongsun Zan has always fought against nomadic peoples such as Wuhuan and Xianbei in the north, so his soldiers and generals were all good at fighting. Therefore, in the subsequent battles with Yuan Shao, he had a great advantage at the beginning. However, afterwards, perhaps his mentality changed, which led to his power shrinking and weakening step by step, leading to his tragic ending in the end of Yi Jing killing his wife first and then.

The current Ma Teng was not long ago as an army by the prefecture and county offices, and was in charge of the troops. Because of his merits in the fight against the bandits, he was appointed as a Sima of the army and later moved to a general. However, he has now completed the transformation of his identity, from an official to a bandit, and became a rebel! "The governor Geng Bi was killed by the rebels, and Ma Teng, Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others jointly initiated the affairs in Liangzhou." So there was actually no chance to participate in the subsequent fight against Dong!

As for the other princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, most of them were struggling to be middle and lower-level officials. Of course, the three Han clan relatives - Liu Yu, Liu Biao, and Liu Yan, are now in Youzhou, Jingzhou and Yizhou, to rectify, build and develop their own power!

Others, such as Lu Bu should still be the governor of Bingzhou, and Ding Yuan, the commander of Wu Meng, served as the chief clerk; Zhang Xiu and his uncle Zhang Ji served in Dong Zhuo's army; Zhang Lu, the "Shijun" who governed the people with the "five dou of rice", might still be thinking about how to please Liu Yan!

Besides, Tao Qian, Yuan Shu, Zhang Yang, Zang Hong, Gongsun Du, Shi Xie, Han Sui, Kong Rong, etc. I won’t tell you one by one. In general, the major figures who can dominate the situation in the future have their own small forces, small teams, and small capital. Just wait for the chaos in the world to take advantage of the situation.

Many future princes have already appeared on the stage of history in this August, or before this August, and have gained enough to wait for things to come. In this August, Emperor Liu Hong also successfully divided the troops of General He Jin by establishing the Eight Captains of Xiyuan, achieving the goal of checking and balancing the court.

However, although these have an impact on Wen Chou, they are not much. They just sounded the bell of intensifying the development of their power! They made them realize that the real chaos in the world is not far away, and the princes are separating the world and fighting against each other is not far away.

Wen Chou folded the letter in his hand again and put it into the envelope. After frowning and thinking for a while, he chuckled as if he was self-deprecating, stood up, shook his sleeves as if he was about to shake off the depression in his heart, and then walked out of the house. This letter was about the changes in the court, and of course there was also the analysis of the letter's writer, and in the words, it also meant to ask Wen Chou's opinion. This letter was not written by someone else, but was about the review of the general trend of the world!

Since Wen Chou returned, his letters and exchanges with famous scholars such as Tian Feng, Ju Su, and Shen Pei have never stopped. Some of them talk about the world, the names of scholars, or the classics, ancient sages, etc. Even if Wen Chou has any doubts about politics and military affairs, he will ask them for advice through letters. Therefore, although their friendship will not be as fast as Wen Chou went to visit him in person, it is also growing slowly.

Wen Chou left the room and came to the yard, feeling the hot summer day, breathing the unique harvest atmosphere at this time, and his previously depressed mood greatly relieved it.
