When Li Zhi asked for an audience for the first time, he disguised himself as a businessman Feng Yi and led more than a dozen chariots loaded with silk, gold and silver, starting from Lianshao, tracing the Luoshui River northward, and entering Shangjun from Yuntai Mountain. Along the way, we passed through Diaoyin, passed Gaonu, and then entered Fushi City. We bought some sheep and horses with the Helian tribe, and then asked Baibo commanders about their preferences. After learning that Yang Feng was the most wealthy, Li Zhi slowly traveled eastward and entered the city of Yuanyin, where he offered a large sum of money to see Yang Feng, the order of Yuanyin. /p
It was mid-March at that time. After the battle with Yang Feng, he was full of decadence and indulged in wine, horses and sex all day long. When he heard that a businessman was coming, he immediately summoned him. Li Zhi first presented him with grape wine, a specialty of the Western Regions, and also presented him with twenty pieces of silk silk. He claimed that he had many connections in Feng Yi and hoped to open up a trade route to Baibo. He could transport Guanzhong silk to Baibo. I also hope that Bai Bo can sell the horse to him, and I am willing to share 30% of the money gained with Yang Feng. /p
Yang Feng was naturally happy to agree, and Li Zhi visited twice more in two months. After finding out Yang Feng's preferences, he entered Yuanyin for the third time and brought five more beauties, all of whom were soft-spoken Wu girls from Yangzhou. Yang Feng liked her very much and immediately invited Li Zhi to join him in the banquet and have fun. /p
After a moment of frenzy, Li Zhi asked Yang Feng, "Shuai Yang, are you happy tonight?" Yang Feng lay on the side of the table with his arms bare, filled another glass and drank it in one gulp, burping and blushing. Li Zhi smiled and said: "Thanks to Brother Li, I realize that I was in vain in the past!"/p
Li Zhi saw Yang Feng's dissolute attitude, smiled at him and said: "I have a way to make money, which can also make Yang Shuai happier. I wonder if Yang Shuai is interested in it?"/p
When Yang Feng heard this, his eyes shone, and he leaned over drunkenly and said, "I've tasted all the beautiful wines. What other treasures can Brother Li come up with that will open my eyes?"/p
Li Zhi took out a silver seal from his pocket, stuffed it into Yang Feng's hand, and said to him: "This is the official seal of the Governor of Xihe. I wonder if Yang Shuai likes it?" Yang Feng suddenly woke up, leaned back and asked him Said: "Where are you from?"/p
"Of course he is from the imperial court. The grand master thinks that Yang Shuai is a rare talent and wants to entrust him with an important task. I wonder what Yang Shuai wants?"/p
Yang Feng's face turned blue and white, but he didn't call the guards. He put on his clothes and urged Li Zhi to leave Yuanyin quickly. When parting, he said he was grateful to the Grand Master for his kindness. Will not rebel. /p
Li Zhi conveyed this to Zhang Ji. Zhang Ji laughed when he heard it and said, "If he would never rebel, why would he send you back? It's because the Taishi is cheap! It doesn't matter. I will go with you in June and I will make him surrender." The imperial court.”/p
So in early June, Li Zhi still went to Xihe, Zhang Ji pretended to be a guard and accompanied him, and they arrived at Yuanyin without any hindrance. He asked to see Yang Feng as usual, and Yang Feng did not refuse him. Instead, he went out to greet him. Zhang Ji talked with him for a long night, and then came up with the story of hunting in Yinzimao. /p
Zhang Ji persuaded Commander Bai Bo in this way: "Chen Tingjian is not fighting with the imperial master, but with the imperial court. The Han Dynasty has been raising scholars for hundreds of years, and there are countless people who have been loyal to the country. How can Bingzhou and one state fight against it?" ?" These were high-sounding words of self-promotion. None of the three commanders were moved, but the next words hit the mark. /p
Just listen to Zhang Ji continue: "You are all talented people in the country and have no personal grudges against the Grand Master. Why bother to lead the way for Chen Chong? I heard that your army has been merging with the state for several years, but after Chen Chong came, it stopped at a corner of the Xihe River. At the beginning of the year, Guo Shuai After his death, Chen Chong had the idea of joining the army. It can be seen that when the kings win, they will gain nothing; when they lose, the tribe will gradually lose. The three commanders are all heroes in the world, how can they be allowed to be at their mercy and let several years of hard work be wasted in one day? ?”/p…
These words spoke of Sino-Korean Siam's concerns, and he asked in reply: "But I don't know what the Grand Master wants to do to us?"/p
Zhang Ji clapped his legs and replied with a smile: "If some of you are willing to submit to the imperial court, and if the Grand Master has a say, they can all be made generals and have their own jurisdiction over a county. Commander Han can be ordered to guard the east of the river, Commander Yang to guard the west river, and Commander Hu to guard Taiyuan." , to form a country of its own, it is enough to pay tribute every year, and the court will not interfere. What do the commanders think?"/p
This condition is really exciting. Han Xian and Yang Feng looked at each other and made up their minds to serve. Unexpectedly, Hu Cai answered first: "This matter is of great importance. We still want to discuss it, please wait a moment." "All good things are hard to come by. Zhang Ji had already expected this. He immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "Then I will sit quietly and wait for some replies."/p
So they dispersed, and the three commanders returned to the old hall of Wanyang to discuss matters. Yang Fengxian said to Hu Cai: "With more than ten thousand soldiers in each department, we can get the title of two thousand stones. It is too much to ask for more! Why hesitate?" What can I say?"/p
Unexpectedly, Hu Cai replied: "I am not blind, but my ears are still clear. I know that Longshou treats me like a relative and friend, and Dong Zhuo treats me like a wolf dog. The two are as far apart as heaven and earth. How can we turn our backs on our relatives and be close to each other?" ? Money is attractive, but friendship is priceless. Brother, you should think carefully!"/p
These words were beyond their expectations. They discussed it several times with Hu Cai in the past ten days, but Hu Cai insisted that he could not vote for the director. It was delayed until Chen Chong invited Han Xian and others to Lishi for a banquet. After Zhang Ji heard about it, he came to urge him that day. Get off! /p
When Yang Feng heard this, he immediately recalled the scene in the snowy night, when the Liang people were surrounded like a wave and the Baibo army had no way to escape. He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and simply said to Han Xian: "It is better to tie up Lao Hu and surrender to the court first. The deal is already done. If we had waited for him to tell the truth to Longshou in advance, we would have been forced to stay and it would be difficult for us to be human. How can a man rely on others every day? As long as he can separate his territory and gain peace and freedom, this life will be worthwhile."/ p
Han Xian thought about it and sighed: "It's rare to be at ease in this life. I just hope that after today, we can be able to roam freely in our hometown." The implication is that he agrees with Yang Feng's plan. They immediately invited Hu Cai again and said they would have one last discussion on Dong Zhuo's recruitment. /p
Hu Cai came alone. Therefore, the matter was so important that they excluded the personal guards during their discussion, leaving only three people in the same room. After closing the door, Hu Cai still tried to persuade Han and Yang, saying: "We are shepherds from the loess. We have no intention of getting rich, so we raised an army to rebel. We just want to be able to act upright and stand upright. When Guo Shuai was here, Zhang Yi led an army of tens of thousands to attack me several times. We had no clothes on our bodies, no food to eat, and we would never take refuge. However, when the dragon head comes with sincerity, he is willing to forge swords into plowshares. This is the reason. If we really surrender to Dong Zhuo , How will Guo Shuai treat us under the influence of Jiuquan?"/p
Yang Feng was too lazy to say anything at this time. He simply said: "Today's matter has been decided, brother Hu, don't say more!" After saying that, his eyes hinted at Han Xian. The two were about to take action, but Hu Cai quickly pulled out. The knife was placed on Yang Feng's neck, with a look of sarcasm on his face. He smiled at the two of them and said, "We have been in the same robe for more than ten years, so it's better not to hurt our feelings!"/p
Han Xian stood aside with his fists clenched. He hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed and said to Hu Cai: "Old Hu, everyone has their own ambitions, and you really shouldn't force yourself. I have been a colleague for more than ten years, and Lao Yang has acted like this, just because he doesn't want my reputation as Bai Bo." , so far the troops are divided into two places. Since you have made up your mind, the worst thing is that from today on, we will go our separate ways and meet again on the battlefield."/p…
Hu Cai looked at the two of them for a moment, then finally put down his knife and said, "Okay, but we have to summon the whole army and explain the reasons in public. I will not stop anyone who is willing to go with you to find wealth." After that, he felt a little depressed. He lowered his head, waved his hands to the two of them and said, "How could a fight with the same robe end like this?"/p
Just when he lowered his head, Han Xian saw the right moment, leaped forward, and pushed Hu Cai to the ground. The knife was knocked aside with a clang sound. Yang Feng was still stunned, and Han Xian shouted at him. : "Hurry up and get the knife! Knife!" During this period, Hu Cai kept hitting his chin with his forehead, and he almost bit his tongue. Only then did Yang Feng wake up from a dream. He grabbed the knife and stabbed Hu Cai's left shoulder. When it was struck down, blood flew out like rain. /p
When Hu Cai's strength gradually weakened, Han Xian finally got up from his body. Yang Feng slashed at Hu Cai several more times. When he recovered, he was already squatting on the ground. Only then did he see that when Hu Cai was being chopped, his right hand was holding on to his trouser leg. He still didn't let go. He looked at Yang Feng with his mouth slightly open. Although he could no longer make a sound, there was clearly something between his lips and teeth. Two words: shameful! /p
Hu Cai quickly bled dry. /p
Han Xian breathed a sigh of relief and stood dazed by the house for a long time. Yang Feng asked him, "Are you still going to the banquet?" Han Xian covered his eyes and replied, "Go. If you don't go, your secret will be revealed. If you want to succeed in the battle, We must hide it from the dragon head." The two men packed up their clothes and put away Hu Cai's body. They told the public that he had gone to Lishi for the banquet first, and at the same time sent a reply to Zhang Ji, urging him to send troops as soon as possible. /p
After staying in Li Shi for half the night, they came back and asked Zhang Ji urgently when the imperial army would arrive. When Zhang Ji learned that Hu Cai was dead, he stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, the imperial army is not far away, but this is not an urgent priority. There are only 20,000 men under each of the two men, and there are still no masters in the five counties." There are more than 70,000 people, so you two should first gather all the troops and lead them to raise troops."/p
Han Xian sneered and said: "Chen Chong has shown great kindness and the people are really attached to him. If there is no threat of military force from the imperial army, how can he make the people turn against him?" Li Zhi, who was standing by, waved his pen and said with a smile: "This is not difficult, general. Just leave it to me.”/p
On the one hand, he asked Han Siam to write in handwriting to the counties on the other side of the river that he planned to summon the Baibo Army to train. This was originally allowed by Chen Chong when he visited Yuanyang. Therefore, in the next few days, there was a disturbance on the west bank of the river, but there was no trace in the counties on the east bank. He was suspicious and did not report it to the state capital. /p
On the other hand, Li Zhi was good at imitating notes. That night he borrowed the correspondence between Chen Chong and Han Xian and forged a letter saying that Chen Chong planned to expand his army aggressively because of his failure to challenge Dong, and because the five counties of Baibo had not levied taxes for three consecutive years. He planned to send all Baibo men into the army and prepare his own weapons and supplies. He also took out the Bingzhou Mu gold seal that the imperial court had and stamped it on the letter. /p
On July 21st, nearly 100,000 people gathered in Yuanyin City. The crowd stretched for nearly 20 miles, and no one knew what the commander-in-chief was going to make. At this time, Han Siam's subordinates held forged documents and announced the news of the conscription to the public. The public was in an uproar. Many women shed tears and grabbed their husbands' sleeves and said, "Why are you being exploited again after only a few good years?" ? If you have to fight against the Liang people again, isn’t that going to your own death?”/p
The crowd was filled with grief and anger. Some fathers and sons mourned together, brothers cried together, and the whole family cried together. The sound of crying was earth-shattering. Some people were confused and said: "Longshou has always loved the people like his son, how could he issue such a foolish order?" More people cursed: "He is just a dog official after all. He is a disciple of a high family, pretending to be compassionate for a moment, how can he really know anything?" People are suffering!”/p…
At this time, when someone saw Han Xian and Yang Feng's command cap, they shouted: "Commander Guo is here! Commander Yang is here!" A man was seen riding out of the command cap first, wiping his tears with his embroidered robe and saying: "Guo Shuai is here!" Marshal Yang Shuai understands the pain of life and death for everyone, and there are not many days when we can get together. I specifically ask Chen Shijun for grace so that you can reunite for a few more days."/p
After hearing this, several officers nearby said: "This order has been issued for a long time, and the state government has already extended it several times. Now, what will happen if it takes a few more days? It's just like being a cow and a horse!" Everyone listened. , which aroused even more hatred, and started crying again. /p
At this time, Han Xian and Yang Feng finally rode out and were immediately surrounded by Bai Bo's army. Han Xian stood on his horse and said to everyone: "We have been displaced and have been in Bingzhou for several years, and we have become the same family. Today I see all the brothers suffering, how can I bear it!" At this point, he broke down in tears. He went on to say: "But this is the order of the Dragon Head, and you cannot disobey it! Now I am going south to Feng Yi, and I will escape death. If I don't go, I am afraid I will meet the Dragon Head swordsman, and it will be a dead end. It is death! What can I do?" /p
Everyone was silent for a while, and suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "It's better to die than to rebel!" After hearing this, many people woke up from a dream and loudly echoed: "We are just begging for a living and rebelling against the people. Are you still afraid of rebelling? Rebelled! Rebelled!" Some people even said directly to Han Xian and Yang Feng: "Guo Shuai is dead. I still hope that Han Shuai, Yang Shuai and Hu Shuai will carry the banner, increase punishments and rewards, and strategize. , defeat the enemy."/p
Only then did someone react and asked: "Where is Hu Shuai? Why don't you see Hu Shuai?" Han Xian looked sad and said to everyone: "A few days ago, I and Lao Hu went to Lishi for a banquet. He urged Longshou, I hope to take back this order. The clinker Longshou fell unconscious after being drunk. There was a Dianjun under him who was engaged in Qin Yilu. He had followed Zhang Yi and this thief to invade our Baibo several times. Therefore, he hated us to the core and punished him on the spot. Following the military order, behead him!"/p
Hu Cai was very popular, and Qin Yilu's name was well known to everyone. Upon hearing the news of Hu Cai's death, Baibo soldiers and civilians were all angry and immediately shouted for revenge, and the shouts echoed in the valley. /p
Only Lao Qushuai Wang Mao was among them. After hearing the news, he led his old troops and left silently amidst the noise. After walking for more than ten miles, he slowly said: "Hu Cai is a cautious man, how could he say such a thing? Yang Han's conclusion is definitely false, and Long Shou is unjust. , Bingzhou is afraid of a catastrophe! You should go to Lishi immediately and report the news to Longshou!"/p
Dozens of people from the old tribe immediately left for Quyu. It turned out that the Quyu ferry had already been guarded. It was the hundreds of soldiers brought by Zhang Ji. Apart from these ten people, there were also hundreds of people who wanted to defect to Lishi. , were all captured by Zhang Ji, who killed them all, and in the end no one was able to report the news to Lishi. /pJi Han Zhangwu.
