Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1375 Resolving doubts (plus more)

  No matter what era it is, any emerging regime always needs some vases to embellish it, so that people can see hope intuitively.

   Fei Qian greeted Lu Bu, not even waiting in Pingyang, but preparing to go to Hedong.

  Yuan Shao can travel two hundred miles, why can't Fei Qian?

  Of course, after all, the distance from Pingyang to Hedong is relatively short. Even to the territory of Hedong, it is only two or three hundred miles away.

   Not only did Fei Qian go south to meet him himself, but he also brought another person...

  Yang Xiu.

Bringing Yang Xiu, naturally has Fei Qian's intention, but it seems that Yang Xiu also understands Fei Qian's meaning, so he obediently follows Fei Qian, even if he is not used to riding a war horse, causing his thighs to bleed a little from friction, Still not saying a word.

   It was Fei Qian who saw it, and asked someone to put some leather mattresses for Yang Xiu...

  If Lu Bu really joins recently, then the jigsaw puzzle of the entire Shanxi political group can be said to be relatively complete.

  From a certain level, Fei Qian is the current best leader of Shanxi Group.

  The previous leader of Shanxi was naturally Yang Biao...

  Wang Yun had a brief opportunity to become the leader of Shanxi, but what Wang Yun did after killing Dong Zhuo was too disappointing, which led to Wang Yun not only losing this position, but also losing his own life.

  Of course, the Shanxi political group is only relative to the group of people in Shandong. In fact, it did not really take shape during the Han Lingdi period.

   If you insist on saying that there was a relatively well-formed one, it was not Yang Biao as the leader, but Dong Zhuo.

In the Han Dynasty, there was a common saying that Shanxi came out of Shanxi and Shandong came out of the country. Therefore, as the leader of Shanxi, Yang Biao actually did not fit, because Yang Biao and Yang’s family felt somewhat assimilated by the Shandong gentry. They mainly focused on scriptures, not He was born as a lieutenant general, not from a family of martial arts.

Dong Zhuo is different. He first voted for the Bingzhou Army, and later commanded Xiliang. Basically, he followed the path of martial arts. Although Dong Zhuo’s background is not very high, for the leaders of Shanxi, military power and force are the key points. , so it is barely worthy.

  Dong Zhuo's greatest evil deed is most often mentioned in later generations, which is the abolition of the establishment. But in fact, the matter of abolishing the establishment was not a heinous thing for the court of the Han Dynasty, because there were many people who did such things during the three or four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, and not all of them became The opposite teaching material.

  The more you stand in a high position, the more you can understand some problems that you couldn't understand before.

  There are many things that seem to have no connection at all, but in fact, when they happen, they become a kind of necessity.

  People in Shanxi want to seize the interests above the original court, which part is the easiest to talk about?

   Naturally, it is the He Group where He Jin died. It is fat enough, delicious, and easy to kill.

Dong Zhuo had to deal with Empress Dowager He, so he had to deal with Young Emperor Liu Bian. These two people were originally one with two sides. No matter which one is left behind, it will cause a resurgence and will continue to restrain Dong Zhuo's power, so Dong Zhuo must fully control the power Therefore, it is necessary to coerce Queen Mother He to give up the court.

  The most interesting thing is that Dong Zhuo abolished and established the young emperor Liu Bian in the name of Empress Dowager He.

   It is in line with the rules of the big man.

  According to the system formed in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, during the period from the death of the emperor to the time before the young emperor took charge, the empress dowager who was facing the court occupied the supreme political position and held the final decision-making power in major state affairs including the selection of the heir to the throne. Empress Dowager He came to the court to listen to the government, and Dong Zhuo obtained a legal name by taking advantage of the Empress Dowager's plan to abolish the establishment.

Even though the Shandong gentry criticized Dong Zhuo many times afterwards, most of them focused on poisoning and killing the abolished emperor. The matter of abolishing and establishing the young emperor Liu Bian was mentioned briefly. This shows that at least in this link, Dong Zhuo's move is still in accordance with the legal process.

  The abolished emperor will naturally kill the Empress Dowager He, and both of them must be cleaned up.

  Because even after Empress Dowager He returns to power, she is still the queen mother in name of the big man, so she can still influence the government through Liu Xie, making it difficult for Dong Zhuo to truly control the imperial power. What's more serious is that since Dong Zhuo has hated Liu Bian, he has already made an enmity with Queen Mother He, and there is no room for maneuver.

As early as the first year of Zhongping, Yan Zhong persuaded Huangfusong, who had a strong army in his hand, to "conquer the men of Hebei and mobilize the people of the seven prefectures," saying that Huangfusong should go straight to Luoyang and eliminate the eunuchs. emperor. What's interesting is that strictly speaking, Huangfusong was also from Liangzhou. Although Yan Zhong failed to persuade him, Dong Zhuo, a latecomer, did what Huangfusong didn't do. Is this just a coincidence?

  So when Dong Zhuo started to mess with He Jin, the Shandong Group headed by Yuan Kai not only stood by, but also contributed to the flames, and then also profited from it...

   It's just that what Yuan Wei didn't expect was that Dong Zhuo would follow him next.

  The world is unpredictable, and Fei Qian never thought that he would be the leader of the Shanxi Group before, but from Xun Chen's indistinct words, Fei Qian suddenly realized this.

Maybe Fei Qian didn't think much of it himself, but in the eyes of the Shandong gentry, Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West, not only controlled the Taiyuan Shangdang territory that originally belonged to Wang Yun, but also incorporated the Xiliang Group, and even extended his hand to the Hedong and Hanzhong are almost the embryonic form of a huge Shanxi political group. Therefore, for Feiqian, how to maintain and build the entire group structure has become the test that Feiqian is now facing.

   If you do well, you may be able to avoid the mistakes of Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun. If you don’t do it well, you may be like Yuan Shu, and become the nutrient for the rise of others...

   Fei Qian glanced at Yang Xiu, who was still a bit embarrassed, his eyes wandered over him, nodded, and then raised his voice and said, "Speed ​​up, and rest at Linfen!"

   "Wei!"

Hearing Fei Qian's order, Yang Xiu could only smile wryly, and gritted his teeth. After all, he also knew that he had no room for bargaining in front of Fei Qian. No matter what Fei Qian gave, most of the time Just grit your teeth and eat it...

  Furthermore, Fei Qian had indeed slowed down. Otherwise, according to the original fast marching speed of the cavalry, it would not be too outrageous to travel two hundred miles a day.

  Fei Qian didn’t intend to make things difficult for Yang Xiu, but Yang Xiu’s foundation was indeed too weak. Well, maybe Fei Qian himself was like this back then, but people are always forgetful, especially his own scandals.

  Yang Biao's compromise of the Yang family is just like Yang Biao's compromise in front of Dong Zhuo. Of course, at the time of Dong Zhuo, it was not only the Yang Biao family who compromised, but also the Shandong gentry headed by Yuan Wei.

  How much loyalty Yang Biao and Yang Xiu have, Fei Qian doesn’t know, but Fei Qian knows that this little loyalty is based on the authority in Fei Qian’s own hands...

  The final gathering of the Yang family and the Wang family will also cause panic among the entire Shandong gentry, just like the combination of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu back then.

  Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's departure also illustrates this point.

  Adding that Dong Zhuo’s methods at that time did have some problems, so even if there was no Wang Yun at the time, it would eventually lead to conflicts between Shandong and Shanxi...

   So, it is true that Wang Yun decided to stand up so that the Han Dynasty would not collapse?

  There is this possibility.

But no matter what, Fei Qian is now reorganizing the group structure in Shanxi, bringing together Lu Bu, Yang Biao, Yang Xiu, and the Wang family in Taiyuan, who were left over from the last political power struggle, in one place. , Lay the foundation for the future struggle in Shandong and Shanxi!

   And these people, will they be integrated smoothly?

  Fei Qian is unknown, but after all, I have to try it.

  Linfen City was in sight, and Tai Shici's procession also appeared 20 miles away from the city. Seeing Fei Qian's Zhengxi flag, Tai Shici hurriedly patted his horse up to meet him, and dismounted from his horse and knelt down on the left side of the road.

   "Ziyi doesn't need to be too polite..." Fei Qian also dismounted, helped Tai Shici up, patted Tai Shici on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Hedong affairs are complicated, Ziyi has worked hard..."

   "Share my lord's worries, don't dare to talk about hard work!" Tai Shici said hastily, "Marquis Wen and his party have arrived in Anyi, and Mr. Pei has already approached and entertained you... I don't know if my lord is waiting here in Linfen, or..."

   Feiqian nodded and said, "Since you're here, it's not like giving up halfway. Let's rest for one night and start tomorrow!"

   "I would like to obey my lord's order." Taishi Ci responded, then turned his head to dock with Huang Xu, supplemented the supplies he brought with him to Fei Qian's direct troops, and commanded the soldiers to help them set up camp together.

  Fei Qian naturally doesn't care about these things, he just needs to find a place to sit. Of course, Fei Qian couldn't rest until the whole camp was built. After all, as an example in the army, he should have a good appearance...

  As for what to do by yourself to work with the soldiers?

  Don't make jokes, the school lieutenant can do the same thing, if he is promoted to the rank of general, he has to do these heavy jobs, so what hope do the middle and low-level non-commissioned officers have?

Along the way, after thinking about it, Fei Qian still has a question in his heart that he has never been able to find the answer to, that is, how Dong Zhuo was finally separated from the political group in Shanxi when he was in Chang'an. In other words, because What happened, or what caused it, finally led to the Shanxi political group, which had already taken shape, to choose to assassinate Dong Zhuo at the expense of martial arts...

   During that period of time, Fei was latent and fighting in the north, and Wang Yun had also passed away. The only surviving event participant was Lu Bu.

  Can Lu Bu know the truth at that time?

  Fei Qian touched the beard that had already grown a little, thinking in his heart, according to his knowledge of Lu Bu, I am afraid that Lu Bu may not know the mystery of it even now...

   Maybe I didn't even think about it.

  Most people just want to see what they want to see. Many times they choose to turn a blind eye to the things hidden in the dark and shadows. After all, it takes a lot of brainpower to see these things. This can't be blamed on Lu Bu, not everyone has enough brain capacity, but Fei Qian, as the next leader who is about to unify the entire Shanxi forces, naturally has to consider these things.

Fei Qian shifted his gaze to Yang Xiu, and saw Yang Xiu sitting under a big tree without any image, dripping with sweat, spread his legs apart, stretched straight, faint blood seeped out from under the crotch , the whole person is in a state of distress, where there is no such personable appearance of a nobleman in the past, he is just like a big soldier...

   Fei Qian could not help but smile slightly, motioning for Huang Xu to call him over.

   Lu Bu is not clear, but Yang Biao probably is. As the heir of the Yang family, Yang Xiu also probably knows the inside story...

   "Dezu, it's been a hard journey, but is it a habit?" Fei Qian said while motioning for Huang Xu to give Yang a chair to sit on.

For those who are not used to riding horses, after riding for a long time, their legs will feel as if they are broken, and their splayed feet are light when they go down to the ground. For someone like Yang Xiu who has thin skin and tender flesh, it is almost certain that the friction will be **** and bloody. Yes, being able to hold on until now, without complaining or breaking the jar, has made Fei Qian a little impressed.

  Yang Xiu smiled wryly, but did not answer this question: "The general summoned Xiu to come, what orders do you have?" Being tortured is being tortured, admitting it, but after the torture is over, you still have to ask if you are happy, how can Yang Xiu bear it?

Fei Qian laughed. He thought that Yang Xiu was too deep and forbearing before. Even if he could endure such suffering without saying a word, would he have the potential of Sima Yi? Now it seems that Yang Xiu is still Yang Xiu, smart Smart enough, but still not shameless enough.

"Zichu, go get some traumatic ointment and give it to Dezu..." Fei Qian turned his head and ordered, and then said to Yang Xiu, "You and I are both from Shanxi, although we may not be the enemy of thousands of people, but at least we can You need to be skilled in soldiers and horses... This bruise ointment is made by the Pingyang doctor Zhang, and Dezu can apply it on the wound to relieve the pain..."

The skin of the human body has a powerful repair function, but during the process of platelet coagulation, the skin will be pulled and tightened, and if you continue to march, it will inevitably lead to the destruction of the tight and coagulated skin wound just now, and the ointment can relax the skin wound , to avoid repeated tearing.

   Fei Qian released his kindness, and Yang Xiu also bowed his head slightly, and thanked him. Yang Xiu can be said to belong to the extremely intelligent group, so he naturally understands the meaning of Fei Qian's words, and Fei Qian also made it very clear that he did not hide anything. "Shanxi people" at least need to be skilled in soldiers and horses …

   "The general intends to establish the country with martial arts?" Yang Xiu was silent for a moment, then said.

   Fei Qian smiled and said, "What is Dezu's opinion?"

  Yang Xiu looked up at Fei Qian, and said slowly: "Wu Kejing, you can't set the country!"

  Fei Qian was not angry because of Yang Xiu's statement, but said: "Is this the reason for rebelling against Dong?"

Yang Xiu frowned slightly. Although he was dissatisfied with Fei Qian's jumping question, after all, General Fei Qian of Zhengxi is in a strong position now, so he could only continue Fei Qian's topic and said: "Negative Dong? No. Dong Zhongying It is the poisonous disaster that is deepening, the usurper is already a sign, and the blame is on oneself."

   "Usurperation?" Fei Qian asked, "Can you hear the details?"

Yang Xiu didn't shy away from it, and said directly: "Dong Zhongying came to Chang'an, so he made a car suit, took the Jinhua green cover, and drew two feet with his claws to test the ministers. This is one of them; the second is Dong Zhongying. Third, Dong Zhongying intends to abolish the names of the four emperors He, An, Shun, and Huan on the grounds that there is no difference in merit and virtue, but there is a difference..."

   Fei Qian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

   Fei Qian has heard of the first two, but the third is the first time I heard it from Yang Xiu.

The so-called Jinhua Qinggai car, in the Han Dynasty, was generally a vehicle that could only be used by the crown prince, so Dong Zhuo was arrogant in this respect, and he proclaimed himself a grand master, and he also claimed to be the father of Han Emperor Liu Xie , showing the aura of surpassing Liu Xie, and pretending to be a king. Although these two points are actually a bit too much, it is not that no one has done it...

  So strictly speaking, only the third point finally led to the split of the Shanxi political group.

Whether it is Shandong or Shanxi, most of the children of the gentry above the court regard themselves as Qingliu, and the Qingyi movement of these party figures and celebrities in the late Han Dynasty expressed their dissatisfaction with the corrupt politics at that time, but those who outspokenly criticized the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty Not many. Dong Zhuo not only pointed out that "the merits and virtues of the emperors below the emperor are not different, but they are inferior", but also said that they would publicly demote their temple names. His royal bloodline even became an important harbinger of preparing to abolish the Han and stand on his own.

And at that time, in order to maintain his own power, Dong Zhuo wantonly placed members of the Dong family, regardless of whether they were talented or not, even if they were still descendants, they would all be enshrined as marquises. The behavior of "not showing their position" is quite different, so it is naturally understood by the gentry as crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and preparing to completely abandon the Shanxi gentry.

   "So that's how it is." Fei Qian nodded and said, "The car in front is overturned, and the car in the back will be stopped. If you don't have the same heart, even if you gain power for a while, it won't last long. Does Dezu think so?"

  Yang Xiu was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "What the general said is true. Don't worry, the general."

   "Good. It's not early, Dezu can rest early, and he has to go on his way tomorrow." Fei Qian asked what should be asked, said what should be said, and naturally issued an order to evict the guest.

  Yang Xiu naturally understood, took his leave and left.

   Fei Qian looked at Yang Xiu's back, although he solved a question, he also added a stone...

   But until now, we can only continue to move forward.

It's like a large truck driving on a highway, and finds a small car in front of it, and it is going to make a sharp turn or brake suddenly. The best way is to go up with the smallest loss!
