Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 206
Chuping three years, the first month.

The situation in Liangzhou changed suddenly. Lu Bu, the prefect of the north, attacked Ayang suddenly and slaughtered all the young and old in Ayang.

The tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers under Ma Teng's command were so angry that they almost wanted to riot, so they had to send troops to retaliate.

On the last day of the first lunar month, when the farmers are busy with spring plowing.

Ma Teng personally led an army of [-] troops out of Long County, passed through Lueyang and Chengji, crossed Kaikai Mountain from Ayang, and directly attacked Wushi.

Lu Bu was not to be outdone, and personally led an army of [-] to meet Ma Teng in Wuzhi.

At this time, Luoyang is also changing.

Emperor Xian had already issued an edict that Dong Zhuo, the seat of Zen, would be built on the first day of February. Today's Luoyang can be said to have attracted all the attention of the world, and no one paid attention to the kindness and resentment between Lu Bu and Ma Teng.

The major events in the world are nothing more than the change of dynasties and the change of the throne.

As for the dispute between the two partial vassals, how could it reach such a major event.

Yunwu, General Pingdi's Mansion.

Luo Zhengzheng was discussing with his subordinate Zheng Wenruo about dispatching troops, when a small official rushed in from each other.

"Lord!"

The little official cupped his hands and said, "Lord Cai Yong's carriage has arrived five miles away!"

Luo Zheng frowned for a moment, extremely unhappy.

The servant Cai Yong was demoted, and the court's residence report had already been sent to General Pingdi's residence.

However, although Cai Yong is a great Confucian in the world, he can only keep a respectful distance from him.

Bugs are delicacies to birds, but pests to common people.

Maybe this metaphor is a bit inappropriate, but it is the truth.

Cai Yong is a great writer in the world, and has considerable influence among scholars. This kind of fame and influence can sometimes bring unexpected benefits. Yong waited to see, this old gentleman went to rule himself, except for embarrassing himself, it would not bring him any benefit.

If you treat him a little slower, I don't know how many scholars will condemn him.

Although Luo Zheng doesn't care much about reputation, he doesn't want to be blocked by others.

Xun Yu looked at Luo Zheng's face, and said: "My lord, Cai Shizhong is a great Confucian in the world, with high morals, and his disciples are everywhere. When I traveled to various places in the past, I also listened to a few lessons under his disciples. I really can't neglect it."

Luo Zheng is one of the first two big, and even Xun Yu has listened to the class under the old man Cai, so he can't wait any longer.

Otherwise, Xun Yu will be the first to have an opinion if others don't talk about it first.

"Wen Ruoyan is polite!"

Luo Zheng thought for a while, then got up and said: "To show respect, this general should go out of the city to meet him in person."

Xun Yu happily said: "My lord is wise, I would like to go with my lord."

The rest of the civil and military officials, including Cheng Ying, Wu Yi, Zhao Yun, and Yan Xing, got up in a hurry and rushed out.

This is the benefit of being famous, and sometimes even the princes of one party have to bow down to meet them.

Otherwise, the infamy of being disrespectful to seniors will be confirmed.And in the special era of the end of the Han Dynasty, fame is also a kind of power. Luo Zheng has a deep understanding now, because he once led troops to conquer the Kanto, and slaughtered the Kanto gentry, so that he was notorious, and few of them did it. Scholars are willing to work for him, it can be said that they have tasted the bitter fruit.

Even those humble scholars are unwilling to take refuge.

After half an hour, allow me to the east gate.

Luo Zheng took a group of civil and military subordinates, and then Cai Yong, who was demoted to the Huqiang School Lieutenant Department, was sent to the army.

Although the old man was assigned, the treatment was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Not only did he not look like a prisoner at all, but he also brought a lot of small guards with him, and there were a lot of books and bamboo scrolls in several carriages.

Cai Yong didn't like Luo Zhengsu, but the old man is worthy of being a highly respected Confucian in the world. As for his etiquette, he didn't have any flaws, and he didn't pretend to be noble. Instead, he got out of the carriage and greeted Luo Zheng who came up to salute very politely: "Old man treats the crime I don’t know what the general wants to arrange for this old man, but this old man should follow his orders.”

"How dare, how dare!"

Luo Zheng continued to be modest and said: "Please let the boss enter the city!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the carriages behind him, and then looked away.

Cai Yong caressed his beard and said with a smile: "There is a little girl in the carriage behind, it is inconvenient to come out to meet each other, please forgive me, General."

"As it should be!"

Luo Zheng turned sideways and said: "Please board the car and enter the city!"

Cai Yong nodded, and chatted with Xun Yu, Jia Xu and other acquaintances before returning to the carriage.

Among the counselors present, apart from Cheng Ying, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Wu Yi and others all knew Cai Yong.

From this point of view alone, it can be seen that the old man has a wide network of contacts.

The carriage pulled slowly, and surrounded by a group of people, entered Yunwu from the east gate.

Luo Zheng called Xun Yu and ordered: "Wen Ruo, the old man will give it to you first, you just look at the arrangement."

Xun Yu happily said, "I obey."

Luo Zheng patted his forehead and said: "Wen Ruo is doing things, the general is naturally relieved. But the old man is old, and even Dong Zhuo dares to point his nose and scold him. If he encounters something that can't be seen, most of them will not be scruples. Wen If you think of a way, it's best to find something for the old man to do, don't worry about eating radish eggs all day, and come here to trouble this general!"

Xun Yu looked troubled, and said, "This, let me think about it!"

Jia Xu showed treachery in his eyes, and said: "I have heard that old Mr. Cai has the ambition to revise the history of the Han Dynasty. Why don't the general do what he likes and order people to collect relevant classics and let him renew the history of the Han Dynasty? This is also considered a credit. People build a Confucius and Mencius Academy, so that the old gentlemen can preach and teach in their spare time, and teach people knowledge, or they can win the hearts of poor scholars all over the world."

Luo Zheng showed joy, and said: "It's a good plan, just follow the words of Wenhe."

Xun Yu also stroked his beard and said, "This plan is very good. When I turn around, I will order someone to choose a house and build an academy for the old man to re-study Han history, preach and teach. However, the old man is very strict in choosing students, and there are very few students. Even if the Academy of Confucius and Mencius is built, it will be deserted, and it may be impossible for the lord to win the hearts of poor scholars in the world."

Luo Zheng thought for a while, and said decisively: "Just do it well, the old man doesn't have the heart to teach his apprentices, Wen Ruo can get more classics and put them in the academy! Anyone who is willing to come to the academy to study can borrow them for free. Moreover, Wen Ruo and Wen He can also go to the academy to give occasional lectures when they are free. As long as they pass the enlightenment stage, those scholars who are ambitious to learn and seek fame can also study on their own. As the saying goes, the teacher leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual. Even the academy can give living allowances to those poor scholars who study hard and have relatively good grades, so that they can study and learn with peace of mind."

Xun Yu's eyes showed strange color, he cupped his hands and said, "I obey."

Jia Xu straightened his expression and said solemnly: "The general's kindness will definitely be remembered by the disciples of poor families all over the world."

Luo Zheng waved his hand, but the more he talked, the more slippery his thoughts became, "Well, also, there is a shortage of talents in Liangzhou. The small officials in the two counties and counties under the general's rule are mixed, and even some small officials can't even write words. I can't fully recognize it. The population of Liangzhou is too small, and the government affairs are not too complicated, so it can basically maintain the operation of the government. But if the territory under the rule becomes larger in the future, and those scholars from the gentry and powerful families are unwilling to serve the general, this academy can just It is used to train talents for the general, so that those poor scholars who are determined to gain fame and fame can study the way of governing the country, and they can become officials in the future, so as to solve the shortage of talents under the general's rule. Even if there are real talents and practical learning, they are counted as a county. The head of a county can also be responsible for the guard of a county."

"This……"

Xun Yu said hesitantly: "If so, my lord's fear will no longer be tolerated by the nobles in the world!"

Luo Zheng said coldly: "Wen Ruo thinks that even if this general doesn't wantonly use poor family scholars, will those gentry families accept this general? Will they no longer regard this general as an enemy and work for this general?"

Xun Yu was speechless and could only sigh.

Luo Zheng said again: "Besides, there is an old saying that people make the best use of their talents and things make the best use of them. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. The children of the noble family are not necessarily all talents, and the children of the poor family are not necessarily all mediocre. The world's gentry flaunt their knowledge and morality, clinging to the so-called ancestral ritual system, just want to suppress the poor children, this kind of outright hypocrite practice has long been hated by the general, Wen Ruo thinks carefully whether it is true. "

Xun Yu is silent, everyone understands the truth, but whether he can accept it is another matter.

Luo Zheng said coldly: "With ten mediocre talents, it is better to seize one talent. The poor family also has real talents. Isn't Jia Xu born from the poor family, and Guo Jia and Xi Ping who Wen Ruo once recommended to the general No, he is also a student from a poor family, so no matter what his background is, as long as he is a real talent, as long as he has a skill, this general will use it, and it will be important. If you can't even make the best of your talents, how can this general manage internal affairs? Soldiers marched into the Kanto to help the Han Dynasty."

Xun Yu cupped his hands and said, "My lord's words are reasonable, I've been taught."

Jia Xu bowed deeply, and said sincerely, "General Mingying."

The rest of Zhao Yun, Li Meng, Wang Fang and other people who were born in poverty were even more excited when they heard it, and their hearts were hard to calm.

It is easy to say that people make the best use of their talents, but it is so difficult to do.

In this age when the gentry monopolizes knowledge and official career, it is too difficult for a poor family to claim fame.

Even if he is the emperor of a big man, it is impossible to make the best use of his talents.

Luo Zheng can say these words, how can he not teach these poor people under his command to feel uneasy.

At this moment, on the street ahead, a fast horse galloped towards.

"Report-"

The summoner rode his horse and rushed forward, without getting off his horse, he clasped his hands on the horse's back and said loudly, "My lord, Ma Teng has dispatched troops."

"Ma Teng sent troops?"

Luo Zheng's eyes narrowed, he reined in the horse and asked in a deep voice: "When did Ma Teng send troops?"

The messenger said loudly, "Three days ago the troops were dispatched."

Luo Zheng suddenly lifted his spirits, waved his big hand, and shouted: "Go, quickly summon the generals to discuss matters."
