I walked slowly along the way with my newlywed wife, taking the opportunity to cultivate some feelings. The road to Changshan was still very smooth. When I arrived in Changshan, I asked about the homes of Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong. Someone really knew and said it was easy to find. It was on the road we came from. Go back and walk to Zhaojiazhuang, which is about 11 or 12 miles away. Zhao Yun's home is in that small village. But the person also said that Zhao Yun went out to make a living last year and heard that he had joined the army.
It is true that eight out of ten people in life are not satisfied, which also verifies the correctness of the saying "there is a heart to pick flowers but they don't bloom". I didn't feel frustrated at all when I couldn't find Zhao Yun. It was like picking up a sports lottery ticket that had not been drawn yet. If I won, it was luck, and if I didn't win, there was no loss. I accompanied my wife to walk around the city for a while. If it took longer, I would never go there. Accompanying women shopping is the demeanor that every man should have, but it is also the biggest nightmare of most men.
After a night's rest, we started walking back at dawn the next day. Less than half an hour after leaving the city, I saw thick smoke in a village beside the main road. After calculating the distance, the place where the smoke came out should be Zhaojiazhuang. I immediately ordered Wei Yan to take four servants to check what happened there.
Not long after, I saw Wei Yan and the four servants coming back covered in blood, but looking at their pale faces with excitement and ruddy, it should be the shock of killing someone for the first time, and the blood should be someone else's. On Wei Yan's horse was a girl who seemed to have fainted. Wei Yan jumped off the horse and said: "My lord, it was the robbers who looted the village. More than 30 people in the village were killed by the robbers. When we arrived, there was only this girl left in the village being besieged by more than a dozen robbers, so we killed the robbers."
I looked at the girl who fainted. There was no injury on her body. I guess she was exhausted. I asked my wife to give the girl a few sips of water and waited for her to wake up and ask. This girl was not someone else, but Zhao Yun's sister Zhao Yu. It turned out that before dawn today, a group of robbers rushed into the village to kill people and rob. There were not many people in the village, and even fewer young and strong people, so they could not organize effective resistance and were killed by the robbers. Zhao Yu learned martial arts from her brother. When she heard the noise outside, she rushed out of the house with a gun and fought fiercely with the robbers. Relying on her exquisite spear skills, she killed two people, but was besieged by other robbers who heard the news. The spear skills taught by Zhao Yun were good for group battles, but Zhao Yu was young and weak and gradually lost. If Wei Yan hadn't led his men to arrive, she would have died in a few rounds.
After helping Zhao Yu bury everyone in the village, he asked her if she had any relatives or friends to seek refuge. Zhao Yu sobbed, "Years of war, relatives and friends have fled, brother also joined the army and no one knows where he is."
Madam Wang wiped Zhao Yu's tears and persuaded me to keep her. I didn't care, but when I saw Wei Yan staring at the girl, I deliberately hesitated for a long time and made Wei Yan scratch his head anxiously before I agreed.
Since then, this wedding trip ended and returned to the mountains. It's not that I don't want to find a few more people, but I really can't remember who I can recruit in my current situation. And my historical knowledge is too poor, I really can't figure out where those famous generals and advisors live. Now I regret that I was absent from history class and thought about other things. Is it too late?
Along the way, Wei Yan followed Gao Shun to learn martial arts and was always around Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu was grateful for Wei Yan's life-saving grace and called sweetly: "Brother Wei." I almost laughed out loud, but "Viagra" was really not good, so I wanted her to change her name to "Brother Yan", but after a careful taste, I was stunned. This "castration" is not as good as "Viagra"! So I could only hide in the car and laugh secretly. Fortunately, my wife knew how to respond to etiquette and would not roll her eyes like Gao Shun. But from her expression, she actually wanted to know why I was laughing, but she really couldn't explain it!
After passing through several mazes in the mountains, I returned to the settlement. I'm not bragging. Although I don't know anything about the five elements and eight trigrams, it's impossible to set up an eight-array diagram that can be used by 100,000 soldiers, but using the grass, rocks, trees and human psychological factors in the mountains, it's still no problem to set up a few small mazes that make people lose their way. It is because of these mazes that those who tried to follow the caravan that bought a large amount of supplies after selling wine to find the source of brewing thought they had encountered a ghost wall set by the immortals and were so scared that they dared not dream. That is why the secret of the settlement was always kept.
Madam, Wei Yan and Zhao Yu were all stunned when they arrived at the settlement. There was such a good place to escape from the world in the troubled times.
I asked Wei Yan to learn a lot from Gao Shun and train with the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp. Not to mention, there is no false person under a great reputation. After a period of time, he won both the civil and military competitions held regularly. But what puzzled me was that Wei Yan could only barely tie with two soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp on horseback, and he had a slightly greater advantage against the sixty cavalrymen with long weapons on horseback, but only a little bit. Wei Yan could beat two cavalrymen, but if three cavalrymen came together, Wei Yan would have no power to fight back. According to this ratio, three cavalrymen are greater than one first-class general, so four people should be able to resist fierce men like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, right? Then I have 60 cavalrymen, which means I have 15 Guan Yus or Zhang Feis, right?
The infantry is even more confusing. If two soldiers are equal to the fighting power of one Wei Yan, then can the current Xianzhen Camp of 1,000 people be said to be an infantry assault team composed of 500 Wei Yans?
Although I don't know if my guess is right, there will be plenty of opportunities to test it through fighting on the battlefield in the future, so I won't think too much about it. Anyway, I can be sure that at least each of my soldiers can be used as ten.
Zhao Yu was naturally taken to the female barracks by me. Originally, the girls in the female barracks were not obedient under my alternative teaching. Now that there is a leader, they are even happier. After exchanging their respective skills, Zhao Yu taught the female soldiers the exquisite gun skills, and Zhao Yu also learned female self-defense skills from the female soldiers. Zhao Yu, who had learned new skills, wanted to try it out with someone, so he went to Xianzhen Camp to find someone to practice with. When the wild boys heard that they were going to practice wolf defense with them, they shook their heads and refused to agree. Only Wei Yan, who had just arrived, agreed to help without knowing the depth of the situation. As a result, he hid from Zhao Yu for several days with his eyes covered and his mouth twisted.
Just when I was watching Wei Yan's joke, my own troubles came. Madam Wang was well-educated and polite, but she couldn't stand Zhao Yu leading a group of little girls to gossip every few days. And seeing that there were so many women practicing martial arts here, she also wanted to learn a few tricks! This is a good thing, at least it can strengthen the body, so I didn't think much about it and agreed. But within two days, Madam found me who was reading and said shyly: "Husband, touch my face."
Madam finally got it, unlike before when I always avoided me when I asked her to be intimate. Today, she even let me touch her face. I was so happy in my heart, but I didn't know that as soon as I stretched out my hand, my wife's two jade hands pinched my palms, and I couldn't help but fall backwards! I was stunned... Anti-wolf technique! I am your husband, not a pervert! No... I remembered that the second half of this move could be fatal... crotch-lifting leg.
"Ah!" A scream echoed in the valley for a long time. My wife... You don't want to be a widow, do you?
Although the saying that a day in the mountains is a thousand years in the world is a bit exaggerated, time flies really fast. Just when I was living a carefree life in seclusion, the vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising turned from a prairie fire to yesterday's flowers in the blink of an eye. Except for a few rebels in remote areas who were still fighting, most of the Yellow Turban Army was eliminated.
The court also began to confer titles on meritorious officials, and several people I noticed were promoted. Cao Cao was originally a cavalry lieutenant, and was promoted to the position of Jinan Xiang because of his military achievements. During his tenure, he dismissed corrupt officials and removed corrupt officials, and the county was solemn. The court recruited him to be the governor of Dongjun, but he refused because of the chaos in the court. He returned to his hometown on the pretext of illness, reading in spring and summer and hunting in autumn and winter to entertain himself. In the fifth year of Zhongping, Emperor Lingdi appointed eight lieutenants of Xiyuan and recruited him as the commander of the army, so he accepted the call; Sun Jian was promoted to Sima of the other department for his outstanding military achievements, and later served as a court counselor. In the fourth year of Zhongping, he served as the governor of Changsha and began to establish his own military group. Liu Bei also organized a local armed force in Zhuo County, led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to join the war to suppress the peasant uprising, and served as the magistrate of Pingyuan County after the war. Not long after that, he fled because of whipping Duyou and resigned. He should have gone to Gongsun Zan. Although Dong Zhuo was defeated in many battles, he colluded with eunuchs and became a general in the expedition against Han Sui and Ma Teng in Liangzhou.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the sixth year of Zhongping. Calculating the days, the emperor should be dead soon. Then it was the turn of General He Jin and the eunuchs in the palace to die together, and then Dong Zhuo led his troops into the capital to cause chaos. I think Dong Zhuo should have the best chance to become the replacement of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the two major forces in the court - relatives and eunuchs - were both defeated in the struggle and had little strength. The little emperor was also cowardly and incompetent, and should be easier to control than Emperor Xian who later wrote the blood belt edict. I don't know what Dong Zhuo's purpose and psychology were. He was willing to risk the world's disapproval and was impatient to discuss the matter of abolishing and enthroning before he completely won over the people's hearts and controlled the court. If he had a little more patience, I'm afraid he would really become the second Wang Mang in the future, or the second Huo Guang if he was a little more loyal. But no matter what he became, at least he would not end up being lit on fire.
The princes met to attack Dong Zhuo, which represented the day when the princes entered the hegemony in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. I will also end this secluded life without competing with the world, and step into this chaotic world earlier than the real Guo Jia in history.
After telling Gao Shun to reorganize the troops and prepare them, and to lead the troops to move out once I give the order, I bid farewell to my wife and took Wei Yan to Chenliu to look for Cao Cao. After repeated consideration, I decided to meet Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, who could say: "I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me" and was evaluated as "a capable minister in a peaceful era and a treacherous hero in a chaotic era."
