For more than a year and almost two years, Sun Jian was at a low point in his life.
Because of this embarrassing low point, he did not even write to his family members in Lujiang several times, because he felt that he was really too shameless to write to his family members.
What did you say in the letter?
People only write letters to their families to show off when they have made great achievements. His actions have caused people to betray and alienate them. Should he also write to his family about this?
He doesn't have that face.
During this period, news came that Liu Bei continued to make great achievements. He defeated many rebel forces such as Xianbei and Qiang people, managed Liangzhou better and better, and his own status became higher and higher.
They have all become generals of chariots and cavalry, the third most powerful person in the Han army.
The people under his command also did very well. One after another, they became successful and famous. Each one became a military commander, even a school captain, and some became two thousand stone prefects.
Among these people, his name, Sun Jian, was not included.
Sun Jian went from jealousy and resentment at the beginning to numbness and even turning a deaf ear in just a few months.
He has already admitted in his heart that he has done something wrong and made a wrong choice, so he has embarked on the wrong path, and people will not let him play with him anymore.
After being depressed for a long time, Sun Jian felt that he might not be suitable for Luoyang City. There was no future for him to continue to stay in Luoyang City. This Army Sima might not change until he died, so he thought of simply resigning and returning. I just want to continue being a rich man.
After all, in the one-third of an acre of land in my hometown, I am still a figure.
But who would have thought that his life situation would be so wonderful, that he would inexplicably have a relationship with Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu admired him very much.
He thought of Liu Bei.
Liu Xuande, you didn’t expect that, did you?
Without you, I hugged thicker thighs instead.
The second son of the Fourth Third Duke of the Yuan family, General Yuan Shu of Huben Zhonglang!
His position is not as high as yours, but his status and future must far exceed yours!
He is my supporter! It is the starting point of my prosperity and wealth!
I can live better without you!
And Cheng Pu! And Han Dang! These two villains turned their backs on him! They will definitely regret it! Tears of regret will definitely flow from your eyes!
Sun Jian vowed to fight to the death under Yuan Shu and use his own bravery to open a road to the sky. One day, he would step on Liu Bei's head and show off his power to him!
If Sun Jian is like this, why doesn't Yuan Shu have lofty ambitions?
He was dissatisfied that as his legitimate son, he had to go to the battlefield to fight for his life with his concubine Yuan Shao.
We are both legitimate sons. Just because I was born late, I have to go to the battlefield to fight for my life, but Yuan Ji can stay unharmed in the rear and enjoy peace and comfort.
They are all legitimate sons, why?
Why!
Yuan Wei didn't know what Yuan Shu was thinking.
Taking into account the overall interests of the Yuan family, even though he was not very willing, he still arranged for people to go to the table to ask for credit for Yuan Shao, hoping to earn Yuan Shao some military merit. After all, he is a somewhat courageous person. This battle will also let Yuan Shao win. Yuan Wei had some different views on Yuan Shao.
However, Liu Hong no longer cared much about this and left the matter to Zhang Rang and He Jin to arrange it. He only focused on one thing now.
Liu Bei, who returned to Beijing to report on his duties, arrived in Luoyang recently. The mastermind he had been thinking about was back. He was very happy and immediately announced that he had summoned Liu Bei.
On September 29, the fourth year of Zhongping, Liu Bei arrived in Luoyang in a low-key manner without alerting anyone. After arriving, he reported to Liu Hong immediately and Lu Zhi the second, and then went home to visit his mother and family. The child went.
Before he could reunite with his mother and child for a while, Liu Hong's summons came and he asked Liu Bei to go see him quickly.
After seeing Liu Bei, Liu Hong took Liu Bei's hand and complained bitterly to him, pouring out all the resentment and dissatisfaction he had felt over the past few days, so that Liu Bei couldn't figure out for a while that Liu Hong was anxious to see him. Do you want to discuss important matters or simply want to vent your bitterness.
After vomiting for a while, Liu Hong felt a little satisfied and then got to the point.
"Thanks to Xuande's strategy this time, the court was able to stabilize the situation. The civil servants and military officers in the court all thought about themselves and wanted to gain merit and benefit for themselves. They did not consider the court or me at all. In the final analysis , Xuande should consider it for me!"
Liu Bei smiled helplessly.
"Bin is a member of the Han clan. If you don't think about your Majesty, who else can you think about?"
"Even if you are a member of the Han clan, not everyone can think about me. What's more, some people can think about me, but they don't have the talent."
Liu Hong patted the back of Liu Bei's hand and sighed: "The only one who is talented and loyal is Xuande. It's a pity that Xuande has to run Liangzhou and rectify the salt affairs for me, so he can't be by my side all the time. I am I don’t want to leave Xuande, but I have to leave Xuande, it’s such a dilemma!”
"It is an honor for Bei that His Majesty values Bei."
Liu Bei said softly: "Bei also wants to serve His Majesty, but there are really too many things that he wants to do, and there are too many things that he wants to give back to Your Majesty. It is really a sin not to be able to serve Your Majesty."
Liu Hong shook his head.
"If this is also a crime, the civil and military clans of the entire dynasty will be exterminated. Xuande does not need to worry about this. It is better than anything else to get things done."
As Liu Hong spoke, he took Liu Bei to sit down together and talked with him about the previous crisis in Hedong County.
"This group of bandits is very bold and has a large number of people. They have also formed an alliance with the Southern Xiongnu. Now that the original Chanyu is dead, the new Chanyu has joined forces with the bandits in Bingzhou. More than half of the counties in Bingzhou are under their control. As a result, Taiyuan County was completely destroyed.
Previously, He Miao and Zhou Shen disobeyed orders and attacked without permission, and almost lost the battle. The rebels retreated completely, but our army was unable to suppress them. I am very worried that if they have saved enough food and fodder, they will continue to invade Hedong County. So much so that crossing the river threatened Luoyang. "
Liu Bei had some understanding of the previous crisis in Hedong County.
"The Bingzhou bandits have been going on for a long time. It can be said that the three feet of ice did not freeze in a day. If you want to resolve it, it cannot be solved by one war or two wars. War treats the symptoms, not the root cause. If the root cause is not treated, annihilate it once. It will happen a second time.”
Liu Hong nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, but this is not what I am most worried about. Now, these generals in the court can't even kill them once. The thieves have no respect for the court. What should I do? Xuande, hurry up. Please sort out Liangzhou and Yanwu, and then come back!"
Liu Bei smiled bitterly.
"If it could be resolved so easily, how could the previous Liangzhou Rebellion last for more than a hundred years? Bei does still need time to deal with many things, and Bei also wants to return to Luoyang to relieve His Majesty's worries, but now It really can’t be done yet.”
Liu Hong spread his hands and sighed.
"If Xuande is by my side, I can directly entrust these matters to Xuande with full authority, and I can sit back and relax and wait for the good news from Xuande. That's it. That's the real Holy Emperor and the Taiping Emperor. But now, he has become a troublesome emperor who can't sleep day and night!
Xuande, you don’t know, I really can’t do anything about these troublesome things and want to leave them to others to deal with, but no one can follow my wishes or really share my worries. All I think about is they themselves!
I also want to promote more Han clan members, but how many of the Han clan members can compare with Xuande? Find some mediocre and incompetent people who don’t know how far they are going to take the situation. In the end, it’s me who will be bothered! well! "
Liu Hong had an expression on his face such as "I'm so tired, I'm so tired that I don't want to be the emperor anymore", which made Liu Bei quite speechless.
