Why?
Zhang Rang asked this question well.
But there is no reason.
You don't need a reason to hate someone.
From a historical perspective, Liu Bei naturally has some opinions about certain people in his memory. It doesn't matter what a person says, the key is to see what he does.
Huangfu Song knew how to fight, that's all.
"I hate Huangfu Song."
Liu Bei said bluntly: "Isn't this reason enough? Huangfu Song is not a good partner. Although he is somewhat capable, he has no integrity. You can't expect such a person to help you with anything in the future. If he doesn't cause trouble for you, everything will be fine. ."
"Do you have anything to do with Huangfu Song?"
Zhang Rang looked at Liu Bei strangely: "I remember that you don't seem to have any grudges, right? If the previous quarrel counts, is it too forced?"
"Huangfusong and I don't have any private grudges, but you don't need grudges to hate someone."
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "It's enough to know who he is. To win over a person and the forces behind him is a big price to pay. It's the same as giving, why not give it to a more reliable person?"
Zhang Rang was noncommittal.
"In other words, you have your own ideas? You don't need my help?"
"It's expensive to ask you to help. I don't want to ask you for ordinary little things."
Liu Bei shook his head: "Unless it's something I can't do, such as making Liu Xu fall into the abyss."
"Liu Xuande, I still can't foresee what great things you can accomplish."
Zhang Rang stared at Liu Bei and said slowly: "But I am sure that you really hold a grudge. If anyone offends you, you will definitely make his life worse than death. Being an enemy with you is really not a pleasant thing. The whole The Jinwen school is your enemy, how do you plan to deal with them in the end?"
"That's not something I can decide now."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "But, as you said, those who have offended me are my enemies. How can enemies show off in front of me and make me unhappy?"
"I don't know how Yang Ci and Yang Biao will be killed by you."
Zhang Rang shook his head and suddenly said: "I'm not your enemy, am I?"
"Of course, Changshi Zhang, you are my important ally."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "At least until the Jinwen School is destroyed, we will still be allies. Let's talk about what happens after that."
Zhang Rang shook his head helplessly.
"You are so candid."
"Honesty is one of my few strengths."
"really."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The time came to the end of August of this year, when the scorching heat of midsummer still had its tail left. When Liu Bei took a few days off to accompany his wife and children at home to be a nanny, there was a rumor in Luoyang City. A nursery rhyme.
The content of the nursery rhyme is about Lu Zhi.
[In the past, there was chaos in the Yellow Turbans, but thanks to Lu Ziqian, Hebei has shown great power, and the world is no longer in trouble]
Children in Luoyang City walked through the streets, holding hands and shoulder to shoulder, singing this simple and easy-to-understand nursery rhyme with ulterior motives throughout the streets and alleys.
Soon, not to mention the common people of Luoyang City, the bureaucrats and dignitaries also heard this nursery rhyme.
Ordinary people have a simple view of this. The great hero who defeated the Yellow Turban Army was indeed Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi did make great contributions. When the news of Lu Zhi's defeat of the Yellow Turban Army reached Luoyang, many people in Luoyang were very happy. He breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Luoyang City no longer has to endure the flames of war.
Because the news of Lu Zhi's defeat of the Yellow Turban Army was the first to reach Luoyang, they naturally transferred their gratitude to Lu Zhi.
This is a timely help, but what follows is the icing on the cake, and the feeling is completely different.
Now this nursery rhyme appeared at the right time, and it expresses the feelings in the hearts of the people of Luoyang very appropriately. So it gradually changed from a nursery rhyme to a folk song. Even adults began to sing its praises, and some people composed music specifically for it. Songs were sung in the streets and alleys to praise Lu Zhi's achievements.
The news spread so widely in Luoyang City that it is impossible for the bureaucrats and dignitaries not to know about it.
They know it, and they know it very comprehensively.
The low-level bureaucrats just laughed it off and didn't feel anything at all. Even if they did feel it, their status did not allow them to intervene in this level of political struggle.
The mid-level and high-level bureaucrats and powerful people feel like soldiers on the battlefield hearing the charge.
Damn it, this is war!
This is the most obvious signal to start war - is this battle fought by Lu Zhi alone?
Even if General He Jin is upright and upright, and does not regard logistics support as his great achievements, but takes the initiative to let the soldiers who fight on the battlefield mountain get the credit, then how will Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and other generals who also fight hard think of this matter? Woolen cloth?
When Huangfusong heard this nursery rhyme, he just laughed it off at first. Later, as the nursery rhyme spread more and more widely, he felt more and more unhappy.
Zhu Jun felt uncomfortable from the beginning. Although Zhu Jun had already expected that someone was trying to mess with Lu Zhi behind his back, he still felt very unhappy that the people of Luoyang were so blatantly praising Lu Zhi but forgetting about him.
Is it possible that he, Lu Zhi, is the only one fighting bloody battles, and I am nothing?
To be fair, Zhu Jun's political level is much higher than Huangfu Song's.
Zhu Jun was born in a poor family, and like Liu Bei, he gradually rose to the center of the political stage of the Han Dynasty step by step through his own hard work. He relied on the support of the county magistrate, governor and others to reach his current position step by step. His level of struggle is not low. No ordinary person.
Huangfu Song was born as a general and had been a general for generations. His official career was relatively smooth, and his fighting skills were quite average. In other words, he was simply a political novice, good at military affairs but poor at politics.
Therefore, Zhu Jun could see the truth of things that Huangfu Song couldn't see clearly at a glance.
Of course, there are definitely many people who can see it.
But this was an honest conspiracy. It must have been done by people from the Jinwen school to target Lu Zhi. There is nothing to doubt.
And some people also saw that this was the Jinwen school's attempt to kill two birds with one stone. While targeting Lu Zhi, it was also seeking to gain military talents.
The Jinwen school is all veterans of court battles and feudal superstitions. They seem to be awesome, but if they really want to go to the battlefield to see the real results, it must be old Biden driving people away from the White House - shit.
The current situation is that the aftermath of the Yellow Turban Rebellion on the Han Dynasty has not yet ended. In this unstable world, political struggle can no longer be everything in everyone's life.
As a huge bonus, the military has firmly occupied a place within the political struggle of the imperial court.
Whoever can get military bonus points will have the upper hand.
And this is too important for the Jinwen school.
I couldn't argue with you before when debating scriptures, but now I can't defeat you in a war. What's the point?
Therefore, a consensus has been formed within the Modern Literature School - Lu Zhi must be disgraced and brought down, and then Liu Bei, the little red guy, should be killed, the minions of the Ancient Literature School should be pulled out, and they should become toothless. tiger.
Then he himself must strengthen his military strength, so as to save the crisis situation faced by Jinwen School.
The father and son duo Yang Ci and Yang Biao had deeper thoughts.
They know very well that the cultural weakening of the Jinwen school itself is a historical legacy that has been formed for a long time. The cultural weakening of the disciples of each school cannot be changed in a short time, just like their academic weakness.
If you want to change, you need to spend a lot of time and resources cultivating your own people - the ancient literature school may not give them this time.
So, there was only one way left for them to go.
Introduce fresh blood that was unwilling to be absorbed in the past to join the Modern Literature School, temporarily strengthen the Modern Literature School, and buy time for the rebirth of the Modern Literature School.
