Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 179 Encyclopedia
Qu Yi was fond of horseback riding and archery since he was a child. When he grew up, he was ordered to lead his family's clan soldiers to fight against the Qiang and Hu for a long time.

In the seventh year of Guanghe (AD 184), the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in the world, and Emperor Han Ling sent Zuo Zhonglang, who was born in Anding County, Liangzhou, to quell the rebellion.

In the third year of Zhongping (186), Huangfusong went to Liangzhou to recruit soldiers. Qu Yi led thousands of people from his family to recruit.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, Huangfu Song returned to Luoyang to resume his command, and Qu Yi stayed under Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, as a general. Yi then voted for Yuan Shao.

Afterwards, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought against each other, and Qu Yi's white horse battle became famous all over the world. After that, he fought against Gongsun Zan's army many times, with more victories than defeats.

However, fate once again made a joke with Qu Yi. Because he was suspected of participating in the Yecheng Rebellion, Qu Yi was ambushed and killed by Yuan Shao.

But Qu Yi survived the catastrophe and was rescued by Yuan Xi. Although he was left with hidden wounds, he survived at least.

Although Qu Yi knew that the chaos in Ye City was just an excuse, and the reasons why he was ambushed and killed were extremely complicated, and it could not be ruled out that he was framed and blamed, and Yuan Shao followed suit, but so what?

I can't do anything, and all my songs are gone, even if I find the person who framed me, it's a certain counselor in Jizhou, or even a member of the Yuan family, can he still take revenge?

After Qu Yi discovered these things, his spirit had been slowly drained away by the cruel facts.

Huangfusong, who he once regarded as an example, was also from Liangzhou. Although he was powerful in the world, he almost died in Dong Zhuo's hands because he offended Dong Zhuo.

Of course, Huangfusong kept the heart of Liangzhou warriors from beginning to end. After Dong Zhuo forced Huangfusong's aunt to death, Huangfusong endured it until Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, and then launched a brazen attack and wiped out Dong Zhuo's family.

And Huangfusong, such a hero, died in the Chang'an Rebellion this year for no apparent reason. No one knows whether he was killed by anger, or by Li Jue, Guo Si or others.

Even if someone knew, who would complain about it?

Thinking of this, Qu Yi laughed at himself, his life was saved by the Yuan family son, so will he kill Yuan Shao's family in the future to take revenge?

He doesn't want to think about such boring things anymore, he just wants to have a chance in the future and go back to his hometown to have a look.

Now Qu Yi met fewer and fewer people from Liangzhou. Except for Sun Li's mother who came from Fufeng Ma family, Qu Yi had almost no fellow villagers. Did they return home or died somewhere?

Qu Yi felt a burst of pain in his chest and abdomen, he picked up the flagon hanging from his waist, and took a sip of wine.

The newly-brewed wine was a little strong, which made him grin his lips. The burning of the strong wine and the pain in his body intertwined, making him feel a fire burning between his chest and abdomen.

He supported the city wall with his hands and tried to stand up straight, knowing that he might not have much time left.

As the young master said, the best destination for a warrior is to die on the battlefield.

Before that, what should he leave for this world?

He remembered what Yuan Xi said to himself once again.

The strong bully the weak, he can't avenge all the people in the world who have suffered injustice, but he wants to give those people the power to resist.

At that time Qu Yi asked rhetorically, "Including people from Bingliang?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said firmly, "Everyone."

Qu Yi took another big gulp of wine.

Yuan Xi was sitting in front of the table at this time, looking at the bamboo slips piled up like a hill, while Wu Zhao and Cao Xian sat on both sides.

He unfolded them one by one, and they were all introductory books from all walks of life, covering classics, criminal law, agriculture, craftsmanship, construction, and even the art of war.

Wu Zhao was in charge of sorting it out, and tried to use the most simple and concise words to summarize the introductory knowledge of various categories, quite like an encyclopedia of later generations.

Yuan Xi turned to a volume of military training methods, and Qu Yi's name was marked at the beginning of the volume, indicating that this was what Qu Yi said. He couldn't help but find it interesting, and said to the two women: "You have a heart."

Wu Zhao said: "It's not the two of us, we are not that capable."

"The officials and artisans in Beixincheng almost all came to help after hearing that their children would read these books in the future."

"Especially when they know that these enlightenment classics that may be handed down to future generations can be signed with the names of the participants, they are working harder."

Cao Xian also nodded, Mr. Xindao's method is really aimed at people's hearts. Who wouldn't want to let his name, deeds and lifelong learning be passed on to future generations after a hundred years?
Yuan Xi said in his heart that the naming right is indeed attractive. From ancient times to the present, from state affairs to family affairs, from papers to books, being able to leave a name is always a huge temptation.

Compilation of such a set of things was inspired by Guo Jia’s incident. Even if his own generation can’t complete it, as long as this set of spirits is passed on, sooner or later a set of [-] whys suitable for the common people will be compiled.

Wu Zhao said again: "The people in several cities in Zhuo County, since they learned that the young master is going to compile such a set of classics, they have been more active in doing things."

"The most obvious is the craftsmen who improve paper. They understand that if paper suitable for long-term preservation can be produced in large quantities, and everyone has books to read, it is not a distant dream."

"At present, the speed of paper improvement is very fast. I estimate that there will be a big breakthrough in a year or so."

"In contrast, block printing is not difficult, as long as the target wood board is specially dried to prevent deformation."

"On the contrary, the study of inks that do not fade for decades or hundreds of years still needs a lot of improvement and waiting. After all, it has to go through a long-term test."

"Speaking of which, the formula of this ink may be on my face."

When Wu Zhao said this, he laughed, and Yuan Xi and Cao Xian couldn't help looking at Wu Zhao's face.

Now it has been more than a year since Wu Zhao Luoyang was taken into captivity and used cinnabar and pine ink to cover up his face.

The red cinnabar spots on Wu Zhao's face almost disappeared, but the black pine ink penetrated deeply into the skin, resulting in a faint ink color on Wu Zhao's face.

Yuan Xi guessed that the pine ink at that time was mixed with other inks to form an ink-like effect.This will last for so long without fading.

If there is no comparison, it's just that the skin color is darker, but if you compare it with the fair neck skin, you can clearly see the difference.

Cao Xian regretted, "It's a pity for my sister. If she recovers completely, she won't be much worse than Miss Zhen's."

Yuan Xi comforted: "The time is still short, and it will definitely disappear in the future."

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "I'm already very satisfied with this, don't worry."

"Besides, otherwise, those Huns don't know how to treat me."

Yuan Xi nodded: "I wondered afterwards why the Southern Huns never retaliated. It turned out that there was something wrong with them."

Shan Yufuluo, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty of the Southern Huns, died.

His younger brother Hu Chuquan succeeded him as Shan Yu. According to the original history, Yu Fuluo's son Liu Bao should be established as Zuo Xianwang.

However, Liu Bao died under Yuan Xi's sword last year, and his ashes were also taken away.

Speaking of Yu Fuluo's life, he betrayed his allies many times, but he was very firm in one thing, that is, he supported Emperor Han.

When Emperor Hanling was in power, he defected to Hanting. After Emperor Hanling's death, he helped Dong Zhuo, who had kidnapped Emperor Han, deal with the princes of the world. He was defeated by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and finally returned to Bingzhou.

But the so-called loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty like Yu Fuluo, and the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan, they used the title of the imperial court to justifiably invade and plunder the people. They were called Han officials, but they were actually rogues.

This is the evil result of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty's loss of the world. The bandits and bandits can still become court officials, which shows that the Han court has lost their morals and gave the princes a chance to rebel.

As for the aristocratic families and common people, they all fell to the princes of various places, because only the princes with the army can protect their safety.

As for the Han court who can't protect their lives and property, how can they win their allegiance?

Therefore, the Han Dynasty at this time has existed in name only, and it seems that it only needs a slight push to collapse.

At this time, all the princes in the world, including Yuan Shao now, think so.

The Kwantung Allied Forces headed by Yuan Shao established Liu Yu as emperor, and Yuan Shu even dared to proclaim himself emperor, but he felt that the Han court was already dead, so it was better to start a new one.

The current situation in the world is also like this. Under the command of the two Yuans, a large number of noble families who have lost confidence in the Han court have gathered.

Including flattering the Emperor of Han later, although Liu Xie issued the edict, almost no one in the world responded, including Lu Bu, who was the first to receive the edict.

Except for Jushou, almost all of Yuan Shao's subordinates thought that Emperor Han was a burden. If he came over, he would be causing trouble for himself, and it would affect the internal operation of Jizhou.

But only Yuan Xi, who knows the history of later generations, understands that things are not that simple.

The emperor returned to the east, but Cao Cao went straight to Han Emperor Liu Xie, picked up the big leak, and drained Liu Xie's use value in the following decades.

The gentry all over the world who were loyal to the Han Dynasty gradually gathered under Cao Cao's command.

Yuan Shao did not expect such a change, and it was too late to regret it. It is estimated that he did not understand until his death that these gentry loyal to the Han Dynasty had disappeared for more than ten years, so why did they suddenly appear?
As a person of later generations, Yuan Xi did not want to understand this truth. This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

If the gentry really supported the Han Dynasty, they would not have appeared until the Han Dynasty had declined to such an extent.

Yuan Xi speculated that maybe they just needed a righteous title.

In this way, they can convince the world and themselves, so they can get the capital to keep the family alive by lying on Cao's body.

Of course, there are not no real loyal officials of the Han Dynasty, such as Kong Rong, Xun Yu, and Wei Xie, but they all ended up not so well.

Sacrificing one's life for righteousness is easy to say, but it is difficult to do. Who doesn't want to live?
Yu Fuluo, a loyal minister, disappeared into the river of history in this way, but Bingzhou was still occupied by hundreds of thousands of Southern Huns.

There were not many Han people in Bingzhou, and Lu Bu was one of them. Now Yuan Xi tried every means to seduce Lu Bu to the north. On the one hand, he used it to deal with the Black Mountain bandits, and on the other hand, he let him suppress the Southern Huns in Bingzhou.

He asked Wu Zhaodao: "I sent someone to contact Lu Bu some time ago, saying that I could send food to him in exchange for the terms of an alliance between the two sides. I don't know if he will agree."

After hearing this, Wu Zhao recalled Lu Lingqi's aggrieved appearance when she was crushed by Yuan Xi last time, and suppressed a smile and said, "I think it's very possible."

"Marquis Wen and Cao Cao have been fighting for more than half a year, and the food is estimated to be empty. However, Hanoi County, where he went, also has a poor harvest this year."

"Not to mention the black bandits, they can't get enough to eat all the year round."

"In this case, my concubine guesses that Lu Bu will send someone over by the end of the year at the latest."
