Ji Han Liu Zhang

The late Eastern Han Dynasty was an era when heroes emerged in large numbers.

Everyone says that there were many heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the stories that happened were full of ups and downs, and the era had an indescribable charm.

One can count China's 5000 years, the end of empires, the decline of dynasties, and countless eras similar to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But among so many twilight years and so many troubled times in Chinese history, only one Three Kingdoms stood out and was respected and loved by the secular public. Every character in it was taken out individually and a large number of audiences talked about it and argued endlessly.

Fundamentally, Liu Zhang believed that the group of heroes fighting for hegemony in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was unusual, and each of them had certain ideals.

Yuan Shao, who was born in the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes, had ideals. He wanted to occupy the Yellow River in the south, guard Yan and Dai in the north, and have the people of Wuwan and Xianbei. He could fight for the world in the south, calm down the troubled times, and establish the Yuan family's world.

Cao Cao, who was born as a eunuch, had ideals. He wanted to let the world's intelligence be used to control it with Tao, to defeat all the heroes in the world, and to usurp the world of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei, who was born in the Luomo royal family, had ideals and wanted to do justice to the world, turn the tide from imminent collapse, and revive the weakened Han Dynasty.

Sun Ce and Sun Quan, sons of military generals, had ideals. Sun Ce wanted to unite the people from Jiangdong, decide between the two formations, and compete with the world. Sun Quan inherited the legacy of his father and brother and wanted to achieve the same feats as Qi Huan and Jin Wen. , respect the king and resist the barbarians, and become the overlord of the world.

Compared with the heroes at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the princes and warlords in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were simply a bunch of insects. They only brutalized the people and satisfied their own greed. They had no love for the people, no ideals to calm the world, and no thought of shouldering the responsibilities of the people. The important task of establishing peace.

Liu Zhang looked at the running water outside Mengchong's cabin and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were too many people with ideals, too many talents, and too many people with wisdom.Every hero felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to calm down the troubled times. However, when the heroes were entangled in each other, no one could conquer the world and bring peace to the universe. The result was a tripartite confrontation.

No matter which family, Wei, Shu, Wu, Cao, Liusun, were placed in the troubled times of later generations, they would surely be able to conquer the world and become emperors. It is a pity that these people were crowded together in the same era, which led to a tragedy.

"Ming Gong, Guangdu is only in front of you, Chengdu is close." Peng Yi pointed to a city near the river in front of him and said with a relaxed and casual tone.

Peng Yi was in a good mood. Before leaving Chengdu, he was just a scribe in the Shu County Prefecture. He had no talent and was busy with documents all day long, opening his eyes to trivial matters.

Now, he followed Liu Zhang south to conquer the Soyi people. Relying on the merits he accumulated along the way, he took the position of Bing Cao in the Zhou Mu Mansion and joined the army. Although his title was not important, the current Zhou Mu was like the princes and Bing Cao in the Spring and Autumn Period. A position close to the power center of Yizhou Mu is just around the corner. His future is immeasurable.

Liu Zhang looked at Guangdu City in the distance with half-squinted eyes. In his previous life, when Chengdu City continued to expand, the Guangdu City in front of him was annexed by Chengdu into a district. It was located on the second and third rings of Chengdu. If it were based on the geographical area of ​​the previous life, In terms of division, he has now entered the territory of Chengdu City, but it is the Han Dynasty now, and he is still twenty or thirty miles away from Chengdu.

At this time, like Peng Yi, Liu Zhang felt a little more relaxed. He had not received any bad news yet. It was not a big deal in Chengdu. He just needed to be patient and return to Chengdu to take care of the internal affairs.
-
Liu Hao, who left the city from the east gate of Chengdu, started today's hunting. His wife Wu Ran, as a female dependent, naturally did not ride horses with him to hunt. Secondly, Wu Ran did not want to accompany Liu Hao.

Wu Ran found a river bank, ordered his servants to spread out a carpet, and picked up a curtain to block the river wind, leaving only the side facing the river for enjoying the scenery.

Faced with Wu Ran's perfunctory attitude, Liu Hao suppressed the anger in his heart, said goodbye to Wu Ran, and galloped away without waiting for Wu Ran's reply.

Of the more than twenty knights assigned by Liu Zhang who accompanied Liu Mao, only two knights stayed with Liu Mao. The rest of the knights scattered around to drive away prey for Liu Hao, the noble young master, so that Liu Hao could play. Be happy and enjoy yourself.

Liu Hao was riding a horse, either chasing prey at a gallop, or standing still with a bow to shoot. However, his luck was a bit bad today, or maybe he was too preoccupied. After all the ten arrows he had fired, there were no arrows left. Catching a prey is very different from the past scenes of abundant hunting.

Among the knights scattered around Liu Hao, a sharp-eyed knight squinted his eyes and looked into the distance to see more carefully. He quickly saw the moving object in the distance. It was a group of more than a hundred knights. Team.

This knight was able to be placed beside Liu Hao by Liu Zhang to monitor Liu Hao's every move. He was naturally meticulous by nature. He gestured to his companions in the distance. He was originally riding a horse to drive away wild beasts in the forest for Liu Hao. His companions suddenly became alert like him.

The two knights tightened the reins of their horses and no longer galloped to drive away prey for Liu Hao. Instead, they called on the knight companions around them and gathered together to protect Liu Hao in the middle, and sent a knight to come up. Go ahead and find out Lai Qi’s identity and movements.

The knight who was quickly sent to investigate, after contacting and talking with the rider, cleared the hooves of his horse and came back to report the news.

"Young Master, the knight is General Zhao Zhonglang. Today, General Zhao Zhonglang saw the sky is clear and the weather is good. He had the same idea as the young master and came out to hunt." The knight who inquired about the identity of the knight raised his hand and reported to Liu Hao. , but he rambled on so much, but he didn’t know if he was talking to Liu Hao or more to the friends surrounding Liu Hao.

Liu Hao's expression did not change. He just nodded slightly. He seemed not to have taken it seriously when his group of knights saw someone coming and surrounded him. If in the past, the slaves were so bold and acted on their own, he would He will be furious and punished.

But now the situation is different. As the young master, Liu Hao has lost all his power and is controlled by others, but he does not have the authority to suppress these knights.

"He is General Zhao Zhonglang. As his elder, I should pay him a visit." Liu Hao seemed to be talking to himself, but it was more like he was requesting the knights who were guarding him.

After hearing this, the knight leader who was surrounding Liu Hao looked a little tangled, his brows furrowed slightly, and he did not answer immediately.

Seeing such a situation, Liu Hao looked a little helpless. As a young master, he had to ask the servant Wufu for permission to act. It was really sad. He was extremely sad. There was a surge of hatred in his heart, and his face couldn't help it. It became depressed. "Master, please." The leading knight thought for a while, stretched out his hand and gestured forward, agreeing to Liu Hao's request.He thought that with Zhao Wei's identity, there would be no surprises. Even if Liu Mao had any evil thoughts and wanted to communicate and plan something with Zhao Wei, General Zhao Zhonglang, who was always known for his stability, would definitely refuse.

'snort. Liu Hao snorted coldly from the bottom of his heart, and a solid murderous intention surged in his eyes. He clamped his legs together, sat down, and the horse understood what he was thinking, raised his four hooves and moved forward.

Not long after, Liu Hao rode a horse and came in front of Zhao Wei and his group of knights. His face was full of smiles, and he smiled too much, which made him look a bit flattering. He raised his hands to Zhao Wei and said: "Mr. Zhao, long time no see. .”

Zhao Wei responded with a smile on his face: "Master, it's been a long time since I saw you. Your complexion is much better than before."

"Think about it, I don't have any worries in my heart, and my face will naturally feel better." Liu Hao's words were very calm, but his tone was full of resentment.

Zhao Wei nodded and agreed: "It's good to think about it, it's good to think about it. Nine times out of ten, life will be unsatisfactory. If you are entangled in everything, when will you be able to laugh?"

After saying this, Liu Hao and Zhao Wei looked at each other, and they looked up to the sky and laughed for a while.

The knight leader who was responsible for supervising Liu Mao felt a strange atmosphere when he saw this scene. However, he did not mention anything to say or do. His identity was not enough to speak in front of Zhao Wei, the lieutenant general. He could only follow Liu Hao about two horse lengths behind him, waiting for Liu Hao and Zhao Hao to finish talking.

After a while, Liu Hao seemed to have finished talking to Zhao Wei. He turned around, but his eyes were not at the knights guarding him, but rather looking past the knights and behind them.

'Um? 'The confused knight leader and the other knights responsible for guarding Liu Hao looked behind them one after another, not paying attention at all. Behind them, Zhao Wei waved his hands gently, and the more than a hundred knights following Zhao Wei They all quietly put arrows on their bows.

When they turned around and saw nothing, the knights guarding Liu Hao turned around again. At this moment, they heard a swishing sound. The veteran knight leader knew that this was the sound of arrows, and subconsciously controlled it. Next, he crouched down and looked in the direction of Zhao Wei, only to see arrows splashing like raindrops shooting towards them, and countless arrow tips flashed with cold light in their eyes.

"Run." The knight leader who was supervising Liu Hao had this only thought in his mind, and shouted out at the same time, calling to his knights, clamping the seated horse with his feet, turning around and galloping out.

It's a pity that although the reaction of the knight leader is very fast, the speed of the speech reminder is not as fast as the speed of the arrow launch, and the acceleration of his horse when he sits down and starts running is not as fast as the arrow following him.

A group of knights responsible for guarding Liu Mao were hit by arrows one after another and screamed in agony. Many of the horses they sat on were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, unable to even run away.

For a moment, the knights responsible for monitoring Liu Hao, except for the vigilant knight leader, moved quickly, carrying three scattered arrows on his back, relying on his horse to sit down and gallop away from the arrow net sent by Zhao Hao's knights. , did not end up being shot into a hedgehog, the other knights all ended up with their bodies full of arrows.

"Okay, okay, okay." Liu Hao looked at the tragic situation of the knights who were guarding him and fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. He said three words of "good" in a frantic manner. At the same time, he turned over and dismounted, took out the sword from his waist, Facing the knights who were not fatally injured by the arrows and fell from their horses, the surviving knights picked up their swords one by one. He stabbed them with his swords one after another, not even sparing the dead bodies. He even raised his feet. Stepping on the faces of these knights, violently venting the hatred in their hearts and venting the pain of being monitored.

Zhao Wei did not pay attention to the crazy Liu Hao. He frowned and stared at the knight leader who was hit by an arrow in his back and ran away in the distance. He waved his hand and signaled several knights under his tent. These knights were Zhao Wei's personal guards were naturally quick to understand, and they all sat down on their horses with their legs folded, and chased after the fleeing knight leader.

"Young Master, Young Master." A man dressed like a young man in green came to Liu Hao's side and stopped Liu Hao's revengeful move.

Liu Mao slashed with his sword for a while, and became a little tired. He panted heavily and looked at the young man in green. As a noble young master, he was choked with tears in his words: "Sheng Wang, thanks to you, Otherwise, how could I escape and escape the control of these cheap slaves?"

Liu Hao, who mentioned the word 'slave', kicked the knight of the State Mufu who was lying on the ground, dying.

Wang Sheng, who was the communication channel between Liu Mao and Zhao Wei, heard this and his face was full of moved emotions: "Young master, please don't say that. You saved my life. Without you, there would be no Wang Sheng." Everything I have done for you now can only repay you a little for your kindness."

Listening to Wang Sheng's extremely loyal words, Liu Hao felt much better. He felt that his family had taken in Wang Sheng, a little thief who should have been executed, and supported Wang Sheng, a pariah. It was a business that did not lose money, like Wang Sheng, a rooster and dog thief, is somewhat useful.

"Wang Sheng, one code leads to another. Favor is one thing, and your contribution is another. Now I am a fish in the sea and a bird in the mountains and forests, and I am no longer bound by any fetters. You are the minister with merit in this matter. , I won’t treat you badly, don’t worry, if you follow the young master, your wealth will be inevitable.”

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master." When Wang Sheng heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Hao. It was one thing to repay Liu Hao, but during this time, he was between Liu Hao and Zhao Hao. For delivering news and doing U-turn business, you should get some reward. Who doesn’t want wealth?

Liu Hao didn't pay too much attention to Wang Sheng's attitude as a cheap slave. He cupped his hands towards Zhao Hao and said, "Mr. Zhao, now we should take advantage of Chengdu's unpreparedness and capture the city. As Ji Yu's eldest brother, I should be the most powerful person inside and outside Chengdu." If you don't obey, I will capture Ji Yu later and take power with Duke Zhao to share Bashu."

While planning the goals, Liu Mao drew a big pie to Zhao Wei, one in which they would share the power and share the pie of Bashu.

Hearing this, Zhao Hao had a slight smile on his face, but in his heart he sneered at Liu Hao's words and looked down upon Liu Hao's own views.

Zhao Xi next to Zhao Wei heard Liu Hao's words, and his eyes lit up. He had always dreamed of taking the power of Yizhou Mu in the hands of the Shu people, and now their opportunity had come. (End of chapter)
