[Comprehensive] Number of Merry

Qi Qi, the three military advisers who saw Xu Chu for the first time outside the large tent of the Chinese army, were shocked by his astonishing figure. After entering the tent, they all congratulated Wang Lang for recruiting such a powerful soldier.Wang Can's pretense was to let the three of them fully feel the shock brought by Xu Chu. Now that he entered the Chinese army's camp, he smiled and introduced to the three the scholars who had joined the army since entering Runan County.

He is well-known all over the world for his knowledge and knowledge. In the past half month, all the scholars who came to visit Wang Lang were clear about their specialty, hometown, and family background. During the conversation with Wang Lang, he was praised by Wang Lang. Some of the wonderful theories were also repeated verbatim, and even Wang Lang, who thought he had a good memory, listened with gusto, and finally commented with a smile:

"I have heard that Ru Ying's scholars are as sharp as a cone, and I believe that they are not empty words."

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the style of Qing discussion prevailed. The scholar-bureaucrats aroused their reputations, questioned each other, judged the officials, governed according to discretion, and often used rhyming language to reveal the main characteristics of the characters. "Benefits are like a cone" is the consensus of the scholars in the late Han Dynasty to the famous scholars in Ruying and Ruying. Wang Lang read the discussions of Jin people on this in the past. The most famous one is a dialogue between Zu Na and Zhong Ya.

Zu Na is a native of Fanyangtai County, the half-brother of Zu Di, a famous general in the Western Jin Dynasty who left behind a middle-class boat and heard the idioms of chicken dancing.Zhong Ya was a member of Yingchuan Changshe and died in the civil strife jointly initiated by Zu Di's younger brother Zu Yue and Su Jun.

Before Yiguan traveled southward, the two of them once arranged mutual adjustments together. Zhong Ya said to Zu Na: "My Ruying scholars are as sharp as a cone, and Qing Yandai's scholars are as blunt as a mallet." Zu Na said: "I am blunt. Hammer, hit Erli awl." Zhong Ya said: "There is a magic awl, you can't hit it." Zu Na said: "If there is a magic awl, there must be a magic hammer." Zhong Ya then reasoned.

It was not the first time that Xun You, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu heard this kind of statement, and they all felt that this evaluation was very accurate.

Yingchuan, Runan, and Nanyang counties are geographically close to each other, and the scholars in the three places naturally communicated frequently. However, Nanyang is the hometown of Emperor Guangwu, and there are many dignitaries in the county. Nan and Yingchuan counties are closer.Yuan Shao, who was born with the most common surname in Runan, lived in Jizhou, Hebei, and scholars from Yingchuan County rushed to join him, which is a manifestation of the close connection between Ruying and Yingzhou.As for Li Rucone's statement, you only need to see that most of the Qingliu party members in the late Han Dynasty came from Runan and Yingchuan.

"Introduce the two of you again for Qing and others, thanks to Wen Xing's insightful eyes, otherwise you might miss them."

Seeing that it was still early, Wang Lang took a few people out of the tent and came to the field where the soldiers were practicing.

Wenxing is Pei Qian's word.

Sending troops to Yingchuan and Runan, Wang Lang asked Pei Qian to take charge of the recruitment of troops in the two counties.In the past month, Pei Qian had recommended three people to her, and two of them were names in Wang Lang's memory, which made Wang Lang admire Pei Qian's outstanding vision.

The first person recommended by Pei Qian was Chen Dao, styled Shuzhi, from Runan.

Wang Lang remembered that this man was a famous Shu Han general during the Three Kingdoms period. He fought in all directions with Liu Bei, and his rank was often second to Zhao Yun.

The elite soldiers under Wang Lang's command were originally trained by her, and later they were assigned to Liu Pan, a tribe member who came to join Liu Biao from his hometown in Shanyang.Liu Pan and Wang Lang are of the same generation, although they are not very close by blood, they have not been born in Wufu.According to the ancient concept of clan supremacy, compared to other people, Liu Pan is the most trustworthy and suitable for commanding elite soldiers.

After learning that Chen came to vote, Wang Lang knew that the commander-in-chief of the other half of the soldiers had arrived.In order to avoid any controversy, she assigned a person to Chen Dao first, and planned to give him an opportunity to make meritorious service before pulling him up.

Another person who impressed Wang Lang was named Deng Dang, not because he was famous, but because he had an excellent wife and brother——Lv Meng.

At the age of 16, Lu Meng fought with Deng Dang privately, and rose to the rank of general with his military exploits all the way, but he really matured after Sun Quan encouraged him to start studying.Lu Su, who took over the post of Zhou Yu's governor, once despised Lu Meng because he was a martial artist, but after talking with Lu Meng, he was shocked and patted him on the back affectionately and praised: "With your current talents, you are no longer Wu Xia. It's Amon!" Lu Meng's reply to him is very famous: "After three days away, I will treat each other with more admiration. It's too late for my brother to know about this!" From then on, the two became friends and had a close relationship.

Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Xun, the four magnificent governors of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, all turned from Confucianism to soldiers. Only Lu Meng, who killed people lightly at the beginning, gradually became able to restrain himself and others, and became a national scholar.

Then again, Pei Qian didn't know that Deng Dang had such a good wife and brother, and he recommended him because of Deng Dang's own martial arts skills.Wang Lang recalled it carefully, and remembered that Deng Dang died very early, but before his death, he held the post of Sima of another department, and he was not a small official. It can be seen that Pei Qian is indeed very knowledgeable, buy one get one free There is nothing to say about the good luck.

After introducing Chen Dao and Deng Dang to his three military advisers, Wang Lang went back to the main tent of the Chinese army to study the next strategy.

The remaining three people from Yingchuan looked at me and I looked at you, and each returned to their accounts to write about their experiences in their hometown.Wang Can, who was at leisure for a while, wandered around the barracks by himself and walked into Pei Qian's tent.

"According to the young master, it seems that he intends to hand over part of the Xuanjia army to Chen Shuzhi."

The brush in Pei Qian's hand stopped, but he didn't intend to put it down, and continued:

"Let's see the result of the next battle. If he is used in the next battle, I guess it will be the same."

Wang Can didn't take it seriously either, sitting on the table and sighing:

"The strength of the Ruying faction and the Jingzhou faction are equal now, and the Ruying faction is slightly better."

The Chinese have a very serious rural complex. In the courts of the Han, Jin, Tang, Song, and Ming, officials all form cliques according to their regions. Lang's era.

The Ruying faction and the Jingzhou faction that Wang Can lamented were the two main factions under Wang Lang's command.Originally, the Jingzhou faction had the upper hand. First, the Jingzhou faction had the home court advantage. Second, the military power was almost entirely in the hands of the Jingzhou faction. Wang Lang's most important generals, Wenpin and Wei Yan, were both from Nanyang.Han Ji, Kuai Qi and others also hold a high status in the minds of Jingzhou scholars, and they are the forces Wang Lang must rely on to govern Nanyang.

The Ruying clan was composed of scholars whose native place was in Yingchuan and Runan counties.Zhao Yan, Du Xi, Xun You, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu from Yingchuan were all close and trusted by Wang Lang, and they were entrusted with political affairs or consulted with military aircraft. Their status should not be underestimated.Now there are Chen Dao and Deng Dang from Runan who are participating in the leadership of the army. When Wang Lang's sphere of influence expands beyond Jingzhou, it is not difficult to foresee the future of ebb and flow.

It wasn't a day or two before Pei Qian got acquainted with him, and the friendship was deep. At this time, he couldn't help throwing a pen and said with a smile:

"Whether it's the Ruying family or the Jingzhou family, does it have any influence on you, Wang Zhongxuan?"

Wang Can's grandfather was Liu Biao's mentor, and his cousin married Liu Biao's second daughter. The two families became more close, so no matter who was the upper hand in the Ruying family and the Jingzhou family, it would not affect him.

If you think about it from another angle, he still holds a post in Liu Biao's shogunate, and now he is regarded as a courtier "borrowed" by Wang Lang from his father, then he should actually be regarded as Liu Biao's Prince Lang's faction.

Thinking of this, Wang Can couldn't help laughing:

"makes sense."

Pei Qian picked up the pen again, and said:

"In my opinion, the young master has been reconciling very well, and Yuan Benchu's place is called the distinction between Wei and Wei. Don't you hear that 'the scholars of Ruying are as sharp as a cone, and the scholars of Youyan are as blunt as a hammer'? This is inherently discordant, if there is no good way If it is maintained, there will be chaos for a long time."

If Wang Lang is here, he must be praised for his ability to predict things like a god.

Yuan Shao's subordinates are mainly divided into two factions, one is the Ruying faction headed by Xin Ping, Guo Tu, and Xun Chen; the other is the Hebei faction dominated by local forces in Jizhou, including Tian Feng, Jushou, Shenpei, Zhang Ja , Gao Lan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others; the third faction is the middle force headed by Xu You and Feng Ji from Nanyang.

Looking at the Battle of Guandu and the subsequent incident of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones, except for Tian Feng and Jushou, who were resolute and upright, who kept discussing the matter, the remaining two factions fought against each other. What the Ruying faction agreed with, the Hebei faction must oppose. It was too much to deal with, and Yuan Shao, who was already scheming and indecisive, was cheated to death.

"Yesterday Du Bohou sent a letter, saying that the Li Bing Temple has been established, and there are a lot of scholars and common people who come to worship."

Yuan Shao's prestige in Jizhou was very high. Although Wang Can knew that his friend was a very good judge of people, he couldn't help but feel that these words were suspected of alarmism, so he didn't answer, but brought up another topic.

Du Ji governed Shu County in Yizhou. First, he cooperated with Gan Ning to quell the Chaos of Zhao Wei, and then vigorously developed people's livelihood. Leveraging the benefits of trade to win over and control the local tyrants, after a year of governance, he finally succeeded in winning the hearts of the people in Shu County.

The establishment of Li Bing Temple is one of Du Ji's efforts to win the hearts of the people.In line with the idea that it is better to worship the meritorious predecessors than to let the people believe in the Five Dou Rice Religion, Du Ji carefully selected a site beside Dujiangyan, and built a temple for Li Bing, the governor of Shu County during the Warring States Period who was deeply loved and remembered by the people of Yizhou for the construction of Dujiangyan. At that time, I also sent a letter to Wang Lang, asking Wang Lang to write a sacrificial oration.

Wang Lang felt that his writing was not good enough, so he entrusted Wang Can with writing the sacrificial text, and entrusted Handan Chun, a native of Yingchuan who lived in Xiangyang from Sanfu, with the task of transcribing.She herself is good at regular script and running script, and Handan Chun is good at ancient Chinese seal script. Considering that Li Bing was the county guard appointed by King Qin Zhao during the Warring States Period, it seemed more suitable to use large seal script, so she asked Handan Chun to write it and hand it over to Du Ji to carve a stele.

Handan Chun attached himself to Liu Biao in Xiangyang, and naturally he would not refuse the request made by Liu Biao's beloved eldest daughter. A piece of tribute to Li Bing was written in a decent and upright manner, as if it had the legacy of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Wang Lang was full of praise for this, and he wrote the copybook After keeping a few copies by his side, he sent someone to send the original post to Du Ji, and then asked for it back and put it in the mansion for collection.

Du Ji was also interesting. Not only did he send someone back to the original post, but he also sent a copy of the inscription rubbed on the stone tablet engraved on Handan Chun calligraphy to Nanyang, where it was collected by Wang Lang and the original post.

Wang Can mentioned this matter because he was the one who made the sacrificial oration. Hearing that there were so many worshippers, he couldn't help being honored, so he mentioned it to Pei Qian as an elegant thing.

Pei Qian pondered for a while after listening, and then thoughtfully said: "Are the people of Shu already available?"

Wang Can was stunned for a moment before he realized that the real meaning of Du Jilai's letter was to indicate that Shu County was stable. If Nanyang was going to send troops to Sili, Yizhou could send troops to Guanzhong at any time to echo Nanyang.
