Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 11 Corruption
Under the command of Liu Bei, an army of ten thousand people began to march north, and Huo Jun also began his first military service.

Liu Bei is worthy of being a hero who has conquered the Central Plains for decades. Under his command, the army was overwhelming, breaking through Cao's strongholds such as Bowang and Xi'e, and approaching Duyang.The boats of the Jingzhou navy passed through the Huishui River, continuously supplying the army with food and grass from Xiangyang.

Liu Bei's military level is actually different from the impression of later generations.His military skills are not bad, but he is not among the top ranks. He is not a talented general, but a growth general.After all, he is also a hero who made his fortune through war. Perhaps influenced by Hu Feng in the North, Liu Bei is extremely good at head-on duels.

Therefore, looking at Liu Bei's past achievements, as long as he is not unlucky, has a huge disparity in strength, or suffers a sneak attack from behind, Liu Bei can still compete with some famous generals.

Of course, if you have to compare him with a top commander with extraordinary talents like Lu Xun, you can only say that he is not an opponent of the same level.

After several days of duel, Liu Bei led his old soldiers to defeat Duyang and marched towards Yecheng.Liu Hu, who was accompanying the army, was amazed by Liu Bei's combat prowess. You must know that in the past, their Jingzhou soldiers and horses had a very difficult battle with Cao Cao in the Central Plains.

Without Zhang Xiu's help last time, their army of ten thousand people only reached Western Hubei, where they were stopped by 50 people led by Du Xi for several days. After breaking the city, Du Xi and his men were allowed to break out of the encirclement, which was quite a shame.Unexpectedly, after changing partners, they broke through Duyang and approached Yecheng.

In May, the army broke through Duyang. Liu Bei was not as happy as Huo Jun imagined. While his soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, he was alone in the sunset and didn't know what to feel.

"Your Majesty!"

Huo Jun rode up to Liu Bei's side and asked.

Liu Bei pointed his riding whip at the barren fields in front of him and said in memory: "Last year I led the troops south and passed Duyang. There were still people farming, but this year there is no one farming. There was an old man living in that house, and now it may be reduced to bones. "

Huo Jun was speechless. After leaving Xinye, he followed the army north. The scenes he saw were either bones or graves. Even if he saw the people, they would flee far away when they saw the army.

Along the way, he could no longer see many people.In the past, the prosperous Nanyang in people's mouth had gone through Yuan Shu's Huo Huo, Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao's war, and Liu Biao and Cao Cao's struggle. It has withered and it is unknown when it will flourish again.

Under this situation, sometimes Huo Jun felt lucky for his identity after time travel. He did not travel to the turbulent Central Plains, nor did he travel to become a commoner, but a landlord in Jingzhou, and he could also become a powerful person.

After all, the only place in the world that can be called a paradise is Jingzhou where he lives.But maybe in a few years, the war will reach Jingzhou again.

However, with Huo Jun's ability and identity, he also longs for chaos.Just as Lu Su once said to Sun Quan, with his powerful background, he could gradually become a county official or county official in the Eastern Han Dynasty. If he was lucky, he could also become a prefect, but that was basically the end.

He wouldn't be able to move up without a deep family background.But if he relied on the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty to assist Sun Quan in ascending to the throne of God, he could become a minister of Conglong and display his talents, which the Eastern Han Dynasty court could not bring to him.

The same goes for assisting Liu Bei himself, eager to show off his talents and become a minister of Conglong, bringing unparalleled wealth to himself and his family.

"Bei was born in Zhuo County. When he was young, Xianbei and Wuhuan invaded and plundered people and money. The Han Dynasty was unable to control them. Later, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and wars broke out in the Central Plains. It was a pity that the great rivers and mountains were reduced to a place of war. Bei sometimes thinks of it. Emperors Huan and Ling both hated him. If he had managed the country well, why would the great Han have fallen like this?" Liu Bei sighed.

Huo Jun collected his thoughts and said vaguely: "The decline of the Later Han Dynasty was due to the emperor's lack of ethics, as well as the crimes of relatives and eunuchs who disrupted the government. However, Jun believed that the fundamental reason was the annexation of land, the rampant aristocratic families, and the displacement of the people. , had nothing to eat and had no choice but to rebel.”

"The tyranny of the Qin Dynasty was not caring for the people, and the people were resentful. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang resisted the tyranny. Although there was no tyranny in the former Han Dynasty, the people suffered and the people were in dire straits. Chimei and Lulin rebelled against Xinmang. This will be the case in the future Han Dynasty!"

"Learn from the mistakes of others, and be prepared to learn from them." Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

Looking at Liu Bei's Lingran appearance, Huo Jun smiled bitterly.

Who can avoid the reincarnation of dynasties?When asked by later generations Huang Yanpei, even his master could only answer vaguely.And how could he know the answer when he was in the late Han Dynasty?

As a young man, he naively thought that with the progress of the times, the reincarnation of dynasties might be avoided, but as his knowledge grew wider, he also realized the absurdity of that era.The man who called a deer a horse and despised it can actually appear again.

However, this kind of emotion only passed through Huo Jun's heart for a moment. After reviving his life, he lived for himself.Have mercy on the people and wait until the world is stable.

"Xuan Degong has great ambitions in his heart, and whatever he thinks about will surely come true." Huo Jun praised.

Liu Bei, who had a firm mind, also put away his fragile emotions and said with a smile: "How about Zhong Miao going north with the army?" Huo Jun pulled the reins and said with a smile: "The harvest is great. Xuande Gong's soldiers are brave and approaching Yecheng. People admire.”

The harvest was indeed rich. Huo Jun consciously recorded the details and habits of Liu Bei's decades of fighting, especially the use of cavalry, which was refreshing to Huo Jun.

It's just being looked down upon by others.Perhaps because of his youth, Liu Bei treated him as a guest, which made Zhang Fei and Guan Yu a little unhappy, and they were not as polite as Chen Dao, Xu Shu and others.

Huo Jun is not dissatisfied with this. After all, he is indeed like this. His current resume is nothing in front of the two of them.

Liu Bei raised a smile on his lips and said: "Cao's army has not yet arrived, and the troops are no match for small enemies. How can it be praised? If Cao Mengde does not go south, we just don't know who he will send to lead the army, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan?"

As he spoke, Liu Bei felt a sense of expectation.In his eyes, except for Cao Cao's personal presence, the other generals did not pose much of a threat.

Huo Jun was not that excited about the direction of the war.Huo Jun, who came from later generations, knew the outcome of this battle. Liu Bei achieved a tactical victory, but it did not help.

Without Liu Biao's full strength, Liu Bei alone could not change the overall situation of the Central Plains, and Huo Jun was looking forward to whether this war could change Liu Bei's mind.

Towards evening, Liu Jun set up camp.

In the camp, Huo Jun was reading slips again at night, thinking about what he had seen and gained on his recent trip north.

"Is Zhong Miao here?" Xu Shu said outside the tent, "Come to pay me a visit!"

"Yuanzhi, please come in!"

Huo Jun welcomed Xu Shu into the camp and asked, "Yuan Zhi paid a visit late at night. I don't know why?"

Xu Shu in the novel is still different from history. Xu Shu left Liu Bei not because he was too awesome. Cao Cao captured his mother.But when Dangyang was defeated, Xu Shu's mother and Xu Shu were separated. Xu Shu returned to save his mother, but had no choice but to leave Liu Bei.

After entering the Cao Wei Dynasty, when Cao Pi ascended the throne, Xu Shu was listed in the list of persuading people to enter, and his official title was You Zhonglang General and Yu Shi Zhongcheng.Yushi Zhongcheng is the highest official of Yushitai, similar to the supreme inspector general in later generations, responsible for supervising the work of the ministers.

During the Xinye period, Zhuge Liang also had colleagues with Xu Shu, and he repeatedly commented that Xu Shu was outspoken, focused on official matters, and could often give constructive opinions on politics.So when Zhuge Liang was governing Yizhou, he never forgot Xu Shu and asked his subordinates to learn from Xu Shu many times.

After Huo Jun joined the army, Xu Shu and Huo Jun chatted frequently, so the relationship between the two was quite good.

Xu Shu thought about it for a while and said: "My lord once said that he wanted to make Nanyang his business with Yuan Shao. But this time when I went north, I saw that Nanyang was in decline, it was difficult to raise troops, and there were no hardships and dangers. It was not the right place to establish a foundation. If I could get Liu It may be feasible to use Jingzhou’s help to go south to Jiangdong and take six counties as the base.”

Not long after Xu Shu took refuge with Liu Bei, he won Liu Bei's trust with his recent performance, and thus learned the strategy of going to Jiangdong from Liu Bei.However, Liu Bei did not say who made the suggestion, but when Xu Shu saw Huo Jun accompanying the army, he probably guessed whose idea it was.

After a pause, Xu Shu said: "As we march eastward to Jiangzuo, my lord is not worried about anything but military strength, water battles and other matters. I am not as smart as Zhong Miao. If you can solve this problem, you may be able to take away my lord's worries."

On the issue of whether to go to Jiangdong or stay in Xinye, Xu Shu supported Jiangdong. With his wisdom, he also saw the opportunities and risks behind taking Jiangdong.Meeting Huo Jun tonight may be to inform Liu Bei of his current concerns.

Huo Jun pondered for a while and said: "Jun knows Yuan Zhi's intention! However, the war is about to begin. It is not a matter of strategy. Let's wait and see what happens after the war."

"promise!"
