Preaching begins with Tai Chi

Chapter 230 Abolishing the State Shepherd, Donglai Prefect

No matter how rubbish Liu Hong was, he was a Nascent Soul cultivator piled up with resources, and it was extremely absurd that he could die of horse wind.

To accomplish this, only the aristocratic families can unite with the Ten Permanent Attendants.

You must know that the aristocratic family and the eunuchs are mortal enemies on the surface, and it is precisely because of the trust in the ten permanent servants that Liu Hong dared to let the emperor, the teacher, and Wang Yue go out to fight.

However, he died at the hands of his most trusted eunuch, and he couldn't even find out who did it.

The final cause of death was definitely not poisoning, nor murder, but——immediate wind.

This is not only to change the emperor, but also to blow the prestige of the big man, so that the death of the emperor is not decent at all.

Liu Hong was still too naive, and couldn't see his own fundamentals clearly. He thought that the eunuchs had no eggs, so they must be one with him. In the attack on eunuchs, Liu Hong has exposed his weakness of not being able to protect eunuchs.

As a result, after dispatching Wang Yue, the only guardian god emperor teacher, he couldn't even protect his own life.

The news of the emperor's death soon spread to the front line of Youzhou, and the atmosphere on the front line was extremely depressed.

In just three years, the Yellow Turban Road had completely impeded Youzhou's operations. Zhang Jiao personally deployed large formations at key nodes, forming a terrifying line of defense.

If one wants to break through this line of defense, one must either have skills beyond that of the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao, or use human life to fill it.

The former Yellow Turban Army almost swept the world. To change the dynasty, a group of loyal officials of the Han Dynasty naturally had to fight resolutely, but now the Yellow Turban Army only ruled a remote side, and with the death of the emperor, this war could not be fought at all.

So Lu Zhi decided to return to court as a teacher.

The news quickly spread back to Luoyang City. The aristocratic families were still arguing over whether to let Liu Bian or Liu Xie take the throne. No matter who is the emperor, he must make another concession to the aristocratic families in the world, so that the separatist forces in various places can win important official positions that are justifiable. .

But if Taiwei Lu Zhi returns to Luoyang City with an army of one million, then everything will be difficult.

The aristocratic family secretly contacted Zhang Jiao, hoping that the Yellow Turban Army would take the initiative to attack and prevent the imperial army from retreating so easily.

Zhang Jiao's mouth was wide open, and he asked for a large amount of cultivation supplies, and the aristocratic family reluctantly delivered them.

So Zhang Jiao went into battle in person to challenge the imperial army.

The emperor, Wang Yue, finally showed his supernatural power. With the long evolution time of Zhou Guangsui, he pierced thousands of swords in an instant, completely piercing through Zhang Jiao's heavy protection.

However, he was hit by the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun summoned by Zhang Jiao, but failed to inflict fatal damage on Zhang Jiao.

After that, Zhang Jiao became more cautious, and he dared not treat the court as nothing and attack at will.

But with the Yellow Turban Army at his side, Lu Zhi could only slowly withdraw his troops in batches and batches, and did not return to Luoyang City until half a year later.

At this time, the aristocratic families had already distributed the benefits, Han Shaodi Liu Bian ascended the throne, and General He Jin came to power.

People from aristocratic families from all over the country transferred to the prefects and governors and other local officials with real power one after another, the most prominent of which was undoubtedly the Yuan family.

Yuan Shao served as the prefect of Bohai, and Yuan Shu served as the prefect of Nanyang. They were both prosperous counties with over ten million people under their rule.

Lv Bu is also a high-ranking official in the central government because of his meritorious service in begging for the yellow turban. Dong Zhuo is still the governor of Bingzhou, but he has already been appointed as the governor of the capital. Almost the top power in the world.

Jia Xu is now a servant, and can often enter and leave the palace to meet the emperor.

Jia Xu's mentality is also very tangled now.

With his resourcefulness, it is naturally enough to see that the entire Han world is being divided into factions, and it will not be long before there will be chaos.

However, this is almost the common thinking of all the families of the Han Dynasty. Even if the emperor of the Han Dynasty is still the most noble man, even if the Han Dynasty has millions of troops and countless loyal ministers and generals, the future will only decline more and more.

He was originally a wise man who protected himself, but since he became famous in the Dao Dharma List, he suddenly embarked on the fast lane of promotion. Due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was directly promoted from a small Langguan to a servant in three years. Home can not be said not to trust reuse.

But the building will collapse, how will we deal with it?

Today's little emperor is just a boy less than 20 years old, he has insufficient control over the world, and most importantly, the emperor has no cultivation.

That's right, the aristocratic family teamed up with the eunuchs, and only provided the emperor with a few pills that could boost the spirit of the dragon and the tiger, but did not urge and teach him to practice Taoism. Such an emperor is really weak as paper, unable to withstand any blows at all.

If the big man wants to regain his power, and the emperor wants to centralize power, he must be a longevity fruit, and even have the power to coerce the world, otherwise it will be impossible.

Don't look at the Yellow Turban Army now huddled in Youzhou, but Zhang Jiao's morality is almost the best in the world, and he is a military division, and the people under his rule respect him like a god. Such a rule is extremely stable.

However, from Liu Bian, Jia Xu couldn't see any hard work and hard work, but only saw a big kid who suddenly lost his restraint and enjoyed extravagance and fun.

Such an emperor has no possibility of saving the big man.

The window period is fleeting, and when the layout of the aristocratic families is completed, no matter how incomparable the emperor of the Han Dynasty at that time, it is impossible to turn the tide.

Therefore, Jia Xu, the big man's servant, started his fishing career, and at the same time observed the powerful families of the world, to see who had more hope of winning this battle of humanity.

At the same time, Cao Cao was serving under the general He Jin as the captain of Xiyuan, but after having Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu as examples, he has already realized the changes in the situation.

The center is no longer noble, but the place is more important.

So Cao Cao actively operated, and wanted to return to his hometown near Chenliu to be the prefect.

Cao Cao participated in the crusade against Bocai in the Battle of the Yellow Turban, and made many military exploits. He soon returned to his hometown and served as the prefect of Chenliu. He also gathered the Cao family and Xiahou family to train volunteers for the future.

And Sun Jian is currently serving as the prefect of Jiaozhou. Although Jiaozhou is extremely remote, it has a vast land and abundant resources, and only lacks in population.

Plain County.

Liu Bei finally read the "Red Flag Datong Jing". During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he also saw scenes of officers, soldiers and rebels mutilating the common people, and their lives were devastated.

The status quo of the big man is definitely wrong, but the yellow scarf's simple and rude killing of officials and rebellion is also wrong. Liu Bei was very confused and only wanted to restore the glory of the big man, but now, he finally knows the real reason for the decline of the big man, and the only one right direction.

This road is too difficult. Once the banner is shown, the whole world has nowhere to be tolerated and is an enemy.

All Liu Bei can do is to practice this theory in a small plain county without any publicity.

In three years, Pingyuan County has been governed, the people's hearts are available, and a large number of elite backbones have been trained.

Liu Bei didn't dare to teach the "Red Flag Datong Jing" thoroughly and publicly, and only said "everyone is like a dragon" as a slogan.

But even this step has inspired countless poor people, and his name is no longer limited to Pingyuan County, but has gradually spread to the entire Jizhou and Qingzhou.

The even better news is that the second brother Guan Yu and the third brother Zhang Fei have obtained the longevity fruit successively.

The second younger brother Guan Yu has already regarded "Five-Star Wars of the World" as his main practice method, and reads the "Red Flag of Great Harmony" in his spare time every day. The third brother Zhang Fei does not approve of "Red Flag of Great Harmony" too much, but just The simple introductory practice is also extremely helpful for his practice of "Conquering Demons and Exorcising Misfortunes".

At this point, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang are finally qualified to read all the exercises on the Thirteen Preaching Monuments.

Liu Bei found helplessly that his aptitude was very average, and the most suitable one for him was "Five-Star Battle of the World".

On the contrary, Guan Yu found that he could practice "Zhou Ji Sui Sui Menstruation", which is the most highly rated book among the thirteen exercises.

Zhang Fei also gained a lot. He also practiced "Indestructible Xuan Gong", "Conquering Demons and Eternal Evil Gong" and "Tai Chi Longevity Sutra". No distinction is made.

Liu Bei's realm has just reached the late stage of Nascent Soul, and there is still a long way to go before attaining the status of Longevity, but both Guan and Zhang respect Liu Bei very much and never have the idea of ​​replacing him.

Liu Bei has already realized that Pingyuan County is too small, and he should seek higher development, but he has no one in the court. This official position was obtained by crusade against the Yellow Turbans, and he could not recruit great sages, and only Jian Yong was a child under his command. old friend.

Jian Yong is not someone who can make suggestions, but he is good at communication, kind-hearted, and his cultivation qualifications are average. He has just reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

Chixian Shenzhou is too rich compared to Shenzhou Realm. All kinds of spiritual plants needed by Jindan Nascent Soul Stage can be seen almost everywhere, and can be traded as bulk commodities. Coupled with the talent of the descendants of gods and men, when the spiritual recovery starts After that, the entire Chixian Shenzhou was really "the Nascent Soul walks all over the ground, and the golden elixir is not as good as a dog".

Liu Bei thought for a while, and finally decided to order Zhang Fei to go to Luoyang, bring a personal letter and special gifts to pay a visit to the servant Jia Xu, and wanted to ask this old comrade-in-arms he met during the Guangzong Battle, and now a big man to give some advice.

Although Jia Xu is fishing, but after all, he has a high position and authority. The companions who crusade against the Yellow Turbans back then are now the worst prefects. Only Liu Bei has a poor background and is still a small county magistrate.

Nowadays, the position of prefect is extremely valuable in the world, and many officials in the court seek to gain local real power, so Jia Xu's face alone is really unable to help Liu Bei get a prefect.

However, Liu Bei was very lucky and got a ride.

Liu Yan, the former prefect of Youzhou, wrote a letter saying that the world was in chaos, and the Han Dynasty was in danger of being overthrown.

At critical moments, only the clan can be relied upon. After all, when Wang Mang usurped the Han, it was all up to Emperor Guangwu to restore the Han Dynasty, and the meat rotted in the pot.

Of course Liu Yan also has ambitions, and what he is after is Yizhou, the richest of the thirteen states in the world.

Naturally, the clan was unwilling to sit still, and worked together to promote the policy of "abolishing the state and establishing animal husbandry".

So Liu Yan immediately took the post of Yizhou shepherd, Liu Yu served as Jizhou shepherd, and Liu Biao served as Xiangyang prefect.

And Liu Bei's merit-raising documents back then have also verified the identity of the clan of the Han Dynasty. Although the distance is a bit far away, and he is the King Jing of Zhongshan in the former Han Dynasty, he can be regarded as a clan clan of the Han Dynasty, and he has contributed to the conquest of the Yellow Turban. , So under Jia Xu's operation, he became the prefect of Donglai.

Dongnae is the tip of the peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and has a large area, but the population is not large. It is not considered a rich and remote place in the country.

But in any case, this ride is still very worthwhile, and it directly allowed Liu Bei to cross a big threshold and become the real power prefect.

Pingyuan County is not too far from Donglai. When Liu Bei left, hundreds of thousands of people saw him off reluctantly. The people knew who was really good to them.

With tears in his eyes, Liu Bei continued to help the people who were kneeling on the ground, and waited until it was dark before reluctantly leaving with a thousand volunteers.

These thousand righteous soldiers are equivalent to Liu Bei's private soldiers, and their legitimacy is exactly the edict of the late emperor Liu Hong's righteous soldiers. After three years of training and cultivation, 160% of them are Jindan Daoxing, and there are [-] people in the Nascent Soul Realm, which is more than before. After a while.

On the way, we pass through Beihai County. The prefect of Beihai is Kong Rong, a descendant of Confucius, who is a famous man in the world.

Kong Rong was still very enthusiastic about Liu Bei, the soon-to-be prefect of Donglai. After all, Liu Bei was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and the two tiger generals under his command had already certified the longevity fruit, which was very rare.

During the heyday of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, one-fifth of the people in the world believed in the Yellow Turban Way. Therefore, even if the great Han quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were still many Yellow Turban believers.

Among them, Qingzhou is the place with the most Yellow Turban believers. Almost eight out of ten families believe in Yellow Turban. Almost all the prefects are sitting on the volcano, and they are in danger of being killed by riots at any time.

Kong Rong saw that Liu Bei had a tiger general with the longevity fruit status and a tiger wolf division under Liu Bei. If he really encountered a riot, he must be a good person to ask for help. That's why he was so enthusiastic.

Liu Bei was also very happy. Kong Beihai already knew his name. Doesn't it prove that he has partially achieved his youthful goal?

The two of them had one mouthful, Kong Beihai, and the other Liu Donglai.

Huang County, the capital of Dongnae County, is a county not far from the Bohai Sea, with saltworks and fishing as its main industries.

Liu Bei was very happy at the beginning, but after he really investigated the people's sentiments, he realized what kind of mess his predecessor had left for him.

At that time, there were 36 squares and 36 Qu Shuai in the yellow scarf, and eight of them were still alive. Among them, seven were in Qingzhou and three were in Donglai!

These Yellow Turbans surrendered on the surface, but in fact, the commanders still ruled the believers under their command. The imperial power was no longer in the county, not even in the county town!

No wonder it didn't take much effort to get the position of Donglai prefect, it turned out to be such a big pitfall!
Not only Donglai, Beihai, Chengyang, Taishan, Langya, Donghai, Qingxu and so many states and counties are basically full of remnants of yellow scarves everywhere.

What's even more frightening is that Zhang Jiao, the great virtuous teacher, is still there, and these commanders and believers will continue to fight against the flag at any time.

Liu Bei finally realized what kind of situation he was facing.

But he was not as discouraged as the former prefect, who drank and had fun all day long, but chose to take the two brothers all over the land of Donglai to inspect the people's livelihood.

This trip took two years.

The gains are huge.

The people in Donglai are too poor. The mountains are densely covered here, and there are not many large tracts of arable land. The biggest benefits are the saltworks and fishing grounds.

However, both the salt farm and the fish farm are under the name of wealthy and powerful households, and the common people do not share any interest. Even a street away from the salt farm, the price of salt is skyrocketing.

Even before the Yellow Turbans, there were a lot of bandits here. Since the Yellow Turbans flourished, they have devoted themselves to the Yellow Turban Dao, because only the Yellow Turban Dao can give them eyes for the big men.

Even if it's just basic talisman water, even if they have to work hard, they are not afraid.

Because life is worse than death.

Liu Bei realized that if he did not improve the lives of the people, then no matter how hard he tried to govern, it would have no effect.

If you want to solve the problem, you can only rely on the "Red Banner Great Harmony Sutra".

Here, for the first time, Liu Bei no longer only wanted to obtain extraordinary power from the "Red Banner Datong Jing", but really wanted to understand and control the thoughts in it.

And he started to practice near the county city, personally led the two brothers to open a salt field, build fishing boats, and organize the work of the people under his rule.

And he began to teach the ideas in the "Red Banner Great Harmony Classic" to a thousand righteous soldiers and the backbone of his subordinates.

With the power of the prefect, it was exercised in a small county. Although there were a few lawless tyrants who wanted to stop it, they were directly attacked by Guanzhang, and all their assets and fields were confiscated, and the lives of the people improved rapidly.
