Chapter 877 Uninvited Guest (3)
"Wenyuan! Hahaha..." When Fei Qian learned that Zhang Liao was coming, he happily went out of the city to greet him. After seeing Zhang Liao, he didn''t dislike Zhang Liao''s covered body, so he stepped forward and held Zhang Liao''s arm. , shook up and down twice, then pulled Zhang Liao and walked into the city.
"Zhonglang, so-and-so..." Zhang Liao was about to bow, but Fei Qian stepped forward and pulled him into the city. He was a little at a loss for a moment, but of course he was more moved.
??Although Fei Qian also wanted to know what happened in Chang''an, after all, Zhang Liao came all the way, so he first arranged for Zhang Liao to rest and wash up, and then invited Zhang Liao to the government office for a banquet.
"...Chang''an...that''s it..." Zhang Liao raised the wine bowl and poured down the bowl of wine. The wine dripped down his chin and onto his lapel.
Fei Qian and Zhang Liao had not seen each other for two or three years, and now they meet again. The man who was once a brave and brave man at Hangu Pass now has a lot of weathered look and his expression is a little tired. Obviously, the incident in Chang''an also had a big impact on Zhang Liao. .
Although Zhang Liao fought hard in the city and later followed Lu Bu to Jianzhang Palace, he actually knew something about the situation in Chang''an. Not to mention other things, the fact that he had never seen the soldiers in Lingyi was enough to make anyone interested. Many people felt something was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, they felt even more chilled.
Xu Shu closed his eyes and shook his head. After a long time, he opened his eyes again, sighed and said: "Now I think back to what Zhonglang once said under Lushan Mountain, the relationship between the aristocratic family and the common people... Only then do we know that Zhonglang has true knowledge and insight... Alas , The aristocratic family...has it reached such a stage?"
? Xu Shu was forced to flee in the early years, and he was actually involved with many local aristocratic families. Now that I heard Zhang Liao''s account, although I didn''t see it with my own eyes, I basically understood why Chang''an fell so quickly.
??Things that are on the surface, if there wasn''t some private deal between the defenders in the nearby Lingyi direction and the Xiliang army, how could they just sit back and watch Chang''an be captured without sending any troops?
??Moreover, the Xiliang rebel army was originally a tree without roots and water without a source. How could it suddenly grow and develop and even recruit soldiers?
?All of these point to the same problem...
"But...what about Wenhou? Will it come later?" Fei Qian asked.
Those things that Xu Shu lamented are already a thing of the past for Fei Qian. It''s not that Fei Qian is not interested in the nobles, it just means that in history, the Han Dynasty has indeed reached a state where the branches are strong and the trunk is weak, and the control of aristocratic families threatens the court. It''s not a matter of one or two days. For Fei Qian, of course, he is more interested in Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, who is known as the best in the Three Kingdoms.
"Wen Hou..." Zhang Liao repeated what Lu Bu said when they parted outside Chang''an City.
Fei Qian fell silent after listening.
?Maybe Lu Bu''s "not very convenient" was just an excuse, but maybe it really was what Lu Bu was thinking at the time.
??Although Lu Bu is portrayed as a reckless man in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is Lu Bu really just a brainless warrior?
?Fei Qian didn’t believe it.
?From what Lu Bu said and did, it is enough to prove that Lu Bu is not just a simple-minded character with well-developed limbs like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
?During the contact between Fei Qian and Lu Bu, Fei Qian found that Lu Bu was more like a human being, a living person with strong martial arts and various emotions, rather than a facial character.
Can laugh, cry, get angry, and feel sad. Sometimes I work hard to make progress, and sometimes I am decadent and just want to escape...
?Therefore, maybe Lu Bu sometimes acted out of emotion, but he was definitely not a common man who only knew how to fight.
Lu Bu is now the Wenhou of the Han Dynasty, the leader of Jinwu, Jiajie, Jinfenwu General, and Yibi Sansi. In other words, Lu Bu''s current level is higher than Fei Qian. If he really comes to Bingzhou, Lu Bu will He is older than Fei Qian, and his reputation in Bingzhou is no worse than Fei Qian''s. Coupled with his group of subordinates, apart from anything else, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others will definitely be able to do it in most cases. If you follow Lu Bu''s instructions, if there are differences of opinion, should you listen to Fei Qian or Lu Bu?
??Does Fei Qian need to break up Lu Bu''s men just in case, just like Li Ru defended against Lu Bu? Or is it like Wang Yun, who is idle and does not give military power?
It’s not very convenient. It’s just four words, but it contains a lot of Lu Bu’s thoughts.
It is not very convenient, and it also shows that Lu Bu has evolved from a newcomer who was confused and groping in the court, to some extent, and has experienced some worldliness.
Fei Qian stood up, picked up the wine bowl, raised it towards the distance, and said to Zhang Liao: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and you can''t force it. With Wen Hou''s ability, you can achieve a career no matter where you go! With this wine, I wish Wen Hou’s ambition will be fulfilled!” Zhang Liao immediately agreed loudly, stood up, raised a bowl of wine towards the distance, repeated the words of blessing, and drank it all...
************************
At this time, to the west of Chang''an, smoke was rising, and a team of military horses was winding towards them!
?In the military ranks, most of them were Qiang people wearing leather robes. They were talking loudly, laughing and noisy with each other on horseback. The formation was not very orderly.
?In front of the military column, two huge general flags fluttered high in the wind. One had the word "horse" written on it, and the other had the word "Han" written on it.
Under the flag, Ma Teng and Han Sui came from Xiliang.
When Dong Zhuo marched into the army, in order to win over Ma Teng and Han Sui, he also invited Ma Teng and Han Sui from the border of Xiliang to come to Beijing together. However, due to various reasons, Ma Teng and Han Sui did not agree to Dong Zhuo''s request.
Because in fact, in Xiliang, Dong Zhuo''s family was not the only one with the largest number of soldiers and horses. Ma Teng and Han Sui also had a considerable number of soldiers and horses. Even for a period of time, Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng were still hostile.
In the last years of Emperor Ling''s reign, Geng, the governor of Liangzhou at that time, disdained traitors, which led to the rebellion of the Didao people''s kingdom and the Di, Qiang and other ethnic groups. The prefectures and counties recruited warriors, and Ma Teng applied for it. He was soon valued by the officials of the prefectures and counties for his bravery. , appointed as a military officer, and embarked on the path of local warlords.
Soon, Geng Bi was killed by his men. When the ambitious Ma Teng saw the opportunity, he united with Han Sui and others, openly rebelled, called himself "General He Zhong", and caused rebellion in Xiliang. Wei Zhang Wen engaged in battle.
?At that time, Dong Zhuo was a local general under Zhang Wen.
Later, the Didaoren kingdom was defeated by the army sent by the imperial court. Ma Teng, Han Sui and others abolished the kingdom and kidnapped Yan Zhong as their commander. However, Yan Zhong died of illness soon after, and Ma Teng, Han Sui and others mutually They all felt that they were great, so they fought for power with each other and had many disagreements. Finally, they suffered a big defeat and retreated to the Xiliang border area.
??Therefore, when Dong Zhuo followed He Jin''s order and returned to the army, Ma Teng and Han Sui were happy to see the success, so they generously did not harass Dong Zhuo''s army, but slowly began to develop eastward from the border...
? Ma Teng and Han Sui thought that Dong Zhuo would not have any good results at the time, and they did not expect that Dong Zhuo would eventually become the Grand Master of the Han Dynasty! While this surprised them, an unknown flame began to burn in the hearts of Ma Teng and Han Sui. Since that guy Dong Zhuo can become a grand master, then...
Um?
Right?
?Although Dong Zhuo eventually died, Ma Teng and Han Sui believed that it was only due to Dong Zhuo''s stupidity and incompetence.
So after receiving the news of Dong Zhuo''s death, Ma Teng and Han Sui could no longer sit still and immediately marched towards Chang''an with their troops and horses!
??Dong Zhuo was able to become the Imperial Grand Master with just three thousand cavalry. This time I brought a full eight thousand men! Why don''t you catch a San Gong or something to have a taste! You must know that I have been living in the border areas of Xiliang my whole life, and I have eaten a lot of mutton smell, but I have never tasted the taste of the Han Dynasty!
?Ma Teng and Han Sui glanced at each other in unison, then smiled, and then turned to look at Chang''an at the same time...
Changan, hahahahaha, so-and-so is here!
