When Li Wei was scared out of his wits, he saw a man dressed as a petty official running out of the door, with a look of ashes on his face, he didn't look at Li Wei, and hurried away.

Li Wei regained his composure, straightened his clothes, and walked into the room.The interior of the house is very simple, but it is spotlessly clean. There is a person sitting behind a long table in the center of the room. He is about 40 years old. He has a white face and beard, and his face is livid. He seems to be angry about something.

Li Wei hurriedly bowed down: "Student Li Wei, Li Zhongyuan, pay my respects to Mr. Fu."

Fu Xie's expression softened, he waved his hand to signal Li Wei to stand up, and said with a wry smile: "Zhong Yuan is a member of Gongwei's sect, and they are all from his own family, so there is no need to be polite. The situation in Liangzhou is chaotic now, but his subordinates are all vegetarians. A person who can do things, so recently he has often made unknown fires, which made Zhongyuan laugh at him."

"Since this is the case, although the students are humble, I would like to share the worries of the adults as soon as possible."

Fu Xie caressed his beard and said: "No rush, no hurry, Zhong Yuan just arrived, and the journey is exhausting, so let's rest for a few days before appointing a director."

Li Wei was anxious, so he ignored the etiquette, and said forcefully: "The students entered the cold, and they have long wanted to sacrifice their lives for the country. I just ask the adults to pay the duties quickly, so that the students can fully serve the country." After finishing speaking. He bowed down again.

Fu Xie's complexion changed slightly, he was stunned for a long while, and then he said slowly: "Since Zhong Yuan has this determination, then you should first serve as the official of this county. Zhong Yuan will not disappoint me, the county's upbringing career will depend on Zhong Yuan from now on, I still have something to do, you go to rest first, please take up the post tomorrow."

Li Wei was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed and retreated. Fu Xie watched Li Wei walk out of the gate and sneered secretly: "You don't know the heights of heaven and earth at such a young age, and you dare to come to Xiliang to die in this season. Today's Luoyang dudes are not small. The battlefield is also a place to accumulate reputation." After speaking, he stood up, looked at the topographic map of Xiliang hanging on the wall, frowned, and loudly ordered the attendants outside the door: "Call Hua Sima for me."

Li Wei was completely unaware of the Shangguan's sarcasm, and happily returned to the post house. When he entered the room, he saw Xie Ming sitting at the table playing chess with another person, shaking a feather fan, as if he had already secured his victory.Seeing Li Wei coming in, Xie Ming smiled and said: "Zhong Yuan is so slow, I have already killed your future colleagues here."

The man was about 30 years old, with a refined appearance. Hearing this, he threw the chess pieces into the chess box and laughed loudly: "Xie Lianzhi's chess skills are indeed the best in Luoyang. I haven't seen you for a year. My brother is worse than you." It seems that I will be crushed by you for the rest of my life." After speaking, he turned around and cupped his hands to Li Wei, "I am in Xiayanghui, and I am the county master. I have been chess friends with this Xie Ming for many years. Today I heard that Li Wei Brother Li came to Yicheng together with him, so he rushed to disturb him, brother Li already met the envoy?"

Li Wei hurriedly returned the salute, saying: "I have seen Lord Master Yang, and Wei has already met Shijun Fu. I am grateful to Master Shijun for not giving up, and allowing me to serve as an official to offer wine."

Yang Hui's smile suddenly froze, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he soon smiled again: "Congratulations Zhong Yuan, then we are already colleagues, and we need to get closer in the future." Li Weishu didn't feel angry Something was wrong, and he happily returned the gift, but Xie Ming, who was at the side, saw this detail in his eyes and thought to himself.

The three of them went to the street to find a restaurant, and found an elegant room to drink and chat, talking about Xiliang customs and allusions, very speculative.After drinking for three rounds, Xie Ming suddenly asked Yang Hui seriously: "I have always known that brother Ziming is a gentleman, and I think I will not deceive my friends. Just now Zhongyuan talked about the position of being an official to sacrifice wine. Brother Ziming seems to have something to do with it." Unspeakable secrets? There are no outsiders here, so you might as well just say it.”

Yang Hui gave a wry smile, drank the contents of the cup, sighed and said, "I know I can't hide it from you. In fact, my family envoy is an upright official, and I always hate the nepotism of the big man's officialdom. Officials usually push as long as they can." After finishing speaking, he pointed at Li Wei, "But Marquis Zhu of Qiantang is well-known all over the world, and his face is too great, so he can't push it, so the envoy reluctantly agreed. My lord I was unhappy early in my heart, and I really gave Zhong Yuan a idle job today."

"Idle job?" Li Wei was very surprised, "The official's responsibility for offering sacrifices to a county's education is extremely important. How can it be considered an idle job?"

"I guess Zhongyuan must not know the joints, so I don't want to say." Yang Hui poured himself another glass of wine and held it in his hand, "It's different now. Since Xiliang is in chaos, the rich and aristocratic families would rather educate themselves My son, ordinary officials have long been dismissed, and the matter of recommending Xiaolian has been suspended for several years. The people are displaced, so how can they send their children to study, so now in the border of Liangzhou, the job of worshiping wine is an out-and-out job. It’s nothing more than sorting out some documents.”

"How could this be..." Li Wei originally didn't want to join the Northern Army because he just didn't want to be idle, but he didn't expect that he was still idle in Liangzhou.Xie Ming was also quite surprised, the two of them were relatively speechless, and they froze there for a moment.

Seeing that the two were deeply shocked, Yang Hui smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry about Zhong Yuan, it's spring now, Han, Bian, Beigong and other thieves must be ready to move, once the war starts, it's time to employ people. Although my lord is a bit stubborn, he is not a pedantic person, as long as Zhong Yuan shows more talent, I am not afraid that he will not be able to take on important responsibilities."

After all, Li Xie and Li Xie were young and optimistic, they were easily persuaded, and they immediately let go, and continued to talk with Yang Hui, and exchanged cups and cups.

Xie Ming stayed for a few more days, then took his leave and returned to Luoyang. Li Wei officially took office and officially started his official career in Xiliang.Just as Yang Hui said, the officials in Liangzhou are now so busy that they can’t afford to be idle. They don’t have any ordinary things at all. Even their subordinates have been transferred to other places. The [-]-year-old old man is engaged in helping out, and he does some work such as organizing documents and transcribing every day.At the beginning, Li Wei tried to get Fu Xie's attention by speeding up the process based on Yang Huizhi's words. Later, he found that Fu Xie was busy all day with allocating rations, repairing war equipment, recruiting soldiers, and strengthening the city walls. He had no time at all. Leave him alone, as if Li Wei had never been a subordinate.Li Wei saw that it was futile, and his heart slowed down, so he didn't care about any documents. He read a collection of classics and histories, military strategies, or wrote letters to his friend and lover Xiao Lan in Luoyang. Drinking and playing chess, life is very boring, but also very leisurely.

The battle in Xiliang also started as scheduled. Taiwei Zhang Wen personally led the Northern Army into Liangzhou to suppress the rebellion. Together with Liangzhou's local general Dong Zhuo who broke the captives, general Zhou Shen who was a bandit, and other troops, they marched more than [-] troops and stationed troops in Meiyang. .Han Sui, Bian Zhang and the Qiang rebels obtained this information, and when the official army's foothold was not stable, they also marched into Meiyang.Hundreds of thousands of troops crowded and fought on the battlefield with a radius of more than ten miles. Although the officers and soldiers were numerous, they assembled hastily and did not cooperate with each other.Zhang Wen had no choice but to gather the army and retreat to defend the front line of Chang'an, while asking the court for reinforcements.When the news of the unfavorable war reached Yicheng, the city was filled with gloom and gloom. At the beginning, many people moved out with their families every day. Later, most people saw that it was too late to escape, so they stayed behind to help strengthen the city defense.The prefect Fu Xie, together with Sima Huaxiong and chief secretary Yang Hui, were so busy that they tried their best to make more preparations for the upcoming battle of defending the city. Li Wei couldn't help but look at the busy soldiers and civilians on the street. wry smile.A few days ago, he asked Fu Xie again, but was "politely" put off by Fu Xie. Now, in Yicheng, which was busy before the war, he seemed to be the only idler, just helping the peasants carry some equipment, bricks and tiles every day. That's all. "Is it really a scholar who is useless?" Li Wei looked at the sweaty training recruits and the neatly dressed officers in the school ground in the distance, and couldn't help feeling a little envious of these warriors.

In May, the imperial court finally sent reinforcements to Xiliang, which had been asking for help for a long time.Li Hongshuai, the well-known general in the world for pacifying hundreds of thousands of Hebei, led 4000 Hebei Buqi into Liang.As expected, this new force was as vigorous as the legend and had great luck. First, they fought a beautiful blocking battle on Maverick Mountain, turning defeat into victory.Afterwards, he drove straight in and carried out a night raid in Linghe, capturing tens of thousands of Qiang people, beheading more than [-] people, and capturing the strong Qiang general, Beigong Boyu, who caused Zhang Taiwei and the Northern Army officers a headache.This time, the situation in Xiliang was reversed almost overnight, and the imperial court regained control of the absolute initiative. With the serious illness of Bian Zhang and the eccentricity of the rebel soldiers, it seemed that the war in Xiliang, which had plagued the Han for a long time, would soon be put down .

The reversal of the battle situation also led to psychological changes in the people in the war zone. When the originally tense strings were loosened, people became lazy.The prefect's mansion was also full of joy and laughter, as strict as Fu Xie Hua Xiong also smiled at every subordinate he saw. The long-awaited peace seemed to be within reach.Soon, Fu Xie left Yicheng, went to the leopard Li Hong's barracks, and handed over the defense of the city to Yang Hui and Hua Xiong.The merchants and markets in the city resumed again, and the people took to the streets one after another, a scene of peace that had not been seen for a long time.

Li Wei, who was on the sidelines, had doubts about the current situation. The leopard's bite had indeed bitten the Xiliang rebels very hard, but the main force of the rebels was still there.Moreover, the Han and Qiang issues that really led to the chaos in Liangzhou have not been resolved, and the problem of corrupt officials has not been resolved. How can Xiliang really calm down? "But in the current situation, if you say such things, as an idler, I'm afraid it's not very useful except to be annoying." Li Wei thought helplessly.

Li Wei had nothing to do, so he read the letter from Luoyang.In addition to writing letters to say hello, the Luoyang brothers also collected a lot of information on various aspects. Due to the participation of "Information King" Yin Si, the various information in the past few months can be described as "vast". "En?" Li Wei was suddenly attracted by a piece of news that since the situation in Xiliang improved, General He Jin often gathers his advisers, and it seems that he has a plan.Li Wei recalled that the prefect had excitedly brought up the issue of Xiliang’s anti-corruption a few days ago, and then contacted the deep-rooted forces of the He family and other wealthy families in Xiliang. It is about to be blown by this northern leopard in Xiliang.

"It's ridiculous that these wealthy families, princes and nobles, at this time, still don't care about the big man's society at all, and only think about the honor and disgrace of their own family. Since such a country is corrupt, why should he be left?" Li Wei thought Here, I was also taken aback by this rebellious thought, yes, whether it is the teacher Zhu Jun, Wang Fu Wang Jian, or my past self, they all think about the world from the perspective of saving the big man rise and fall.But the world, is it a world of one family and one surname? Qin lost the world, and the heroes of the world chased it all together. The 400-year-old Han Dynasty was also established in the smoke of the collapse of the old dynasty.In this way, for the sake of the people of the world, even if the big man is really replaced by a new dynasty, it will be considered as the end of his life, and he can't blame others.

With this level of thought in mind, Li Wei began to secretly think about today's heroes. There are indeed some talented people among the powerful and scholar-bureaucrats, but how can those people understand the sufferings of the people?Although heroes from poor families come forth in large numbers, their foundations are too weak, and it seems that it will be difficult to become popular in the short term.After thinking about it, it seems that only the generals guarding one side have the ability to compete in the world, and among these generals, it seems that the leopard Li Hong is the most suitable.First of all, he was once a slave of the Xianbei people, and escaped back to the Han Dynasty after a narrow escape. He must know that the people are poor, and he does not have the habits of a scholar-bureaucrat. Second, he has repeatedly made military exploits. No matter how he can guard one side, it can be said that he has a lot of capital. Third, his luck seems to be very good. Those who have achieved great things in ancient times have worked hard on their own, and secondly, they have been blessed by nature. "Isn't this the fate of the emperor?" Li Wei was encouraged by his own thoughts, "If I can rely on him, I will not only save the people from the fire and water in the future, but also be able to become a lord and pay homage to show my strengths, wouldn't it be far better To be a small official in this bitter cold place?"

If, as Li Wei thought, the leopard Li Hong dared to act, not only arrested thousands of corrupt officials, but also disrespected the emperor's order, beheaded all three thousand heads, and used his family members as camp prostitutes. Blood flowed like a river, and the government and the public were in an uproar.Xie Ming also wrote a letter to comment on Li Hong as "vicious and cruel, uneducated, like a tiger and wolf. He overcorrected, didn't know how to advance or retreat, and committed suicide." Li Wei looked at it with disdain, very human and extraordinary things. These moths are wasting rice. , There is often a way out, in order to avoid harming the people in the future, killing them all is the most thorough way, Leopard now holds a large army, as long as he does not easily delegate power, what can the gang in the court do to him?
Just when the scholars all over the world thought that the leopards could not escape this catastrophe, the rebels in Xiliang actually reorganized their army and revived. Moreover, Han Sui cut off his dissidents, and with the support of June Jinglei and other Qiang tycoons, his military strength seemed stronger than before. powerful.So the argument of killing the leopard came to an end without a problem, the leopard led the army unscathed, and the wealthy family could only eat Coptis chinensis dumb, unable to express their suffering.

Yicheng once again fell into the quagmire of war, and the previous hectic scene reappeared.But this time the gods and Buddhas in the sky did not visit Yicheng again, and the [-] army of rebels finally approached the city not long after.Soon after, the official army also gathered nearby, but the number was only half of the rebel army, and lacked the most elite Fengyun cavalry, the situation was not optimistic.

Ten days later, the battle turned out to be unfavorable, so Fu Xie decided to take the initiative to attack to buy time for the officers and soldiers.Sima Huaxiong assembled [-] soldiers, led by Fu Xie himself, and died with the rebels.Many officials in the prefect's mansion also volunteered to join the army and left the city. The entire prefect's mansion was empty, but Li Wei had no intention of doing such a fatal thing, and just sat alone in the government office and read a book.Suddenly seeing Yang Hui in military uniform, he hurried in: "Zhong Yuan, I have something to ask, you must promise me."

Li Wei said in surprise: "Ziming, you are dressed like this... Could it be that you are going out of the city to meet the enemy? Didn't the envoy entrust the young master to your care?"

"That's right, but I am determined to die with my lord, so I can't take orders. I plan to entrust you, my son." Yang Hui grabbed Li Wei's shoulder and said, "Although we have known each other for a short time, and you usually don't want to Too much to say, but I know that you are a gentleman and will definitely fulfill my entrustment, I just ask you, who do you plan to hand over the young master to."

Li Weiwei thought for a while, then said: "Wang Jian, An Ding, can be an enlightened teacher."

Yang Hui nodded gratefully and pushed the door open without saying a word.Li Wei looked at his thin back and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart: "Big man, big man, how many loyal and passionate men do you need to sacrifice their lives for you? Is it all worth it?"

Soon after Yang Hui left, Li Wei took Fu Gan, the son of Fu Xie, to hide in the tunnel dug in advance with some common people.Hearing the sound of war drums, the sound of iron hooves, the shouts of killing faintly from above, and smelling the suffocating air in the tunnel, Li Wei felt the horror of war and his helplessness for the first time, great cause, love, everything With the passing of life, it is getting farther and farther away from itself.While feeling sorry for himself, suddenly heard a loud bang, Li Wei instinctively pressed Fu Gan under him, and then seemed to be hit by a huge force, and the whole person lost consciousness.

"Hey, are you awake? Do you want some water?" Li Wei heard voices in a blur, opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw an old man dressed as a soldier looking down at him in a large tent. "Young man is really lucky. The tunnel you were hiding in was collapsed, but you just fell into a big hole and suffered only flesh injuries. However, if the army enters the city later, you and that boy will probably be killed too. Suffocated to death."

Li Wei turned his head and saw Fu Gan sleeping peacefully beside him. He seemed to be in good health. He felt sure, and suddenly thought of the old man's words of "big army", and asked quickly, "Whose team are you in, and who won the battle?"

"Hehe, this is the wounded barracks of the Hebei Army." The old man smiled proudly, "Is there anyone in the world who can beat my Baoshuai? Of course we won. The bastards in Xiliang are fierce, but they are better than us from Hebei. Still close."

"Ah, you are a sergeant of Leopard, old man, please tell me that this son is the son of Fu Shijun Fu Xie, who was entrusted to take care of me by Fu Shijun before his death. This is the Hanyang County official Jijiu." Li Wei, I want to see Li Hong and Li Zhonglang."

The old man was also shocked, and hurriedly ran out, Li Wei suddenly felt very nervous, God seemed to have favored him suddenly, not only for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, but also for the opportunity to meet the leopard Li Hong immediately, that is his dream of destiny , is it right in front of you?Will his ambition to save all people in the world be realized from now on?What will happen to his next path?
