Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 298 Xue Rengui comes to Beijing

Although Sima Yi was extremely passionate, he still had some minor opinions.

After the lord Liu Bei returned to Chengdu, it was Wu Yi who controlled everything in Nanzhong.

Although Sima Yi was forced to come to Yizhou, while trying to adjust his mentality, he also heard a few things about his lord and the woman named Wu.

Because of this, Sima Yi didn't have any objections to Wu Yi becoming his new immediate boss.

After all, he is now regarded as the second official in history. Thinking about the bad things the previous one did in Wancheng, Sima Yi felt:

These are all trivial matters.

The person who had some objections to Sima Yi was Wu Yi's deputy Zhang Yi.

In terms of qualifications, when he was forced to come to Yizhou, Zhang Yi had just been recruited, and they all joined the Lord at the same time.

In terms of family background, no one knows about the Sima family in Hanoi. His great-great-grandfather was the general of the Han Dynasty's expedition to the west, his great-grandfather was the prefect of Yuzhang, his grandfather was the prefect of Yingchuan, and his father was Jing Zhaoyin. What about this one? Born into poverty.

In terms of the past, Sima Yi was a subordinate of Dongcao in the Prime Minister's Mansion, while Zhang Ni was no more than a meritorious Cao Cao in Nanchong County.

But now Zhang Yi was able to control him, which made Sima Yi feel a little angry, and he even made up his mind that the Lord's entrustment must be settled in peace!

Opening the tent door, Sima Yi took a breath of the humid air in Nanzhong.

It is now the end of October. If you are in your hometown, you will already be preparing charcoal for winter.

But in the land of Nanzhong in front of us, there are even local strong barbarians walking shirtless, and the difference in climate is really wonderful.

Sima Yi suppressed his sigh and soon saw an acquaintance:

Meng Huo! Meng Huo! Will you go out for a walk with me?

A man with both Han and barbarian looks trotted over after hearing this:

Mr. Sima called me?

Sima Yi folded his hands and nodded:

Let's go out for a walk, and you can tell me more about the Na Cuan (pronounced Tongchuo) family.

The forces in Nanzhong are quite complicated. In addition to many barbarian tribes, there are also many people with Han surnames who moved here during the Han Dynasty.

The barbarians and Han surnames sometimes conflicted and sometimes united. Some Han surnames were ruined and had no choice but to join the barbarians, while there were also big barbarians who wanted to marry the Han surnames to the imperial court.

Eventually, after multiplication, Nanzhong has two truly local surnames, the Meng family and the Cuan family.

This Meng Huo was the leader of the Meng family. Although he looked like a barbarian, he still had a Han surname and wore Han clothes, so he was the first to respond to his lord.

The Cuan family was completely opposite to the Meng family, and they retained more of their barbarian character, so they tried their best to oppose their lord's entry into Nanzhong.

Na Cuan, I heard that construction of the city wall has begun in Tonglao.

Scratching his head, Meng Huo also found it a bit difficult:

If it weren't for the lack of craftsmen and time, Cuan would have wanted to build a fort.

And even if Tonglao is defeated, they can still retreat south to Kunze, Dianchi, and Tongbin.

Meng Huo knew this very well. They both had surnames in Nanzhong. The conflicts between the Meng family and the Cuan family were by no means small, and they knew each other well.

Sima Yi understood that his lord had been very kind to Meng Huo, so he found out a lot of information through clues.

The terrain on the Kunze Dianchi side is relatively flat and there is a lake. It is considered to be the richest place in Nanzhong, and it is also the place that the lord is determined to win.

Moreover, Sima Yi also knew more clearly that the significance of Dianchi Lake was more than just this:

From Dianchi Lake to the southeast, there are Bengu County and Wanwen City. There is a gorge road named Jincheng in the middle, which can directly enter Jiaozhou. If you can control this place, you can try to Jiaozhou.

By that time, the Lord's two states of Jing and Yi will be completely connected, with Fangling Road in the north, Yiling Road in the middle, and Jincheng Road in the south.

However, this plan was not easy to realize. Nanzhong needed to defeat the Cuan family and clear up trade routes. Jiaozhou also had Shi Xie operating for decades.

But it is precisely because of this that Sima Yi is ambitious, and all these things can be my achievements!

Besides, now that he was thrown into Nanzhong, and with Wu Yi and Zhang Yi restrained, he, Sima Yi, had no choice.

Only by taking this Cuan family as a step into the body can we return all the way north!

Xue Li, who was also looking south, didn't think so much.

Riding on the horse, Xue Li once again counted the things he carried with him.

A ceremonial sword and a strong bow, both of which were left behind by his father, are already worn out, but they can still give a glimpse of the honor and favor of his ancestors.

A few changes of clothes and a few Kaiyuan Tongbao given by Liu Yuanwai.

There were also several letters, which clearly stated the important matters of recruiting him to Beijing, as well as the documents issued by Longmen County to him.

After thinking for a moment and remembering Liu Yuanwai's advice, Xue Li put this thing close to his body.

According to Liu Yuanwai, if you lose this thing, you may have to go to a county jail for a year if you are unlucky.

After passing the documents and stuffing them into his arms, Xue Li's hand touched something cold.

A smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and Xue Li took it out.

It is a silver ring. Pick it up and look at the sun. The silver light is really beautiful.

This is what Miss Liu took off from her wrist.

Stuffing it into his arms again, Xue Li glanced at Longmen County in the distance to the north, then turned his horse to the south and ran towards Chang'an.

Although he didn't know why he was summoned by name, Xue Li also vaguely understood that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to revive the Xue family.

After all, Yuan Liu's attitude toward him could be described as arrogant but respectful, which couldn't be more obvious.

Xue Li's idea is very simple:

He doesn't want to farm anymore because of his strength.

Longmen County belongs to Jiangzhou. It is in the west of Hedong Road and adjacent to Guannai Road. It goes south along the official road to Puban, where Xue Li wants to wait to cross the river.

After checking all the paperwork for the officials, Xue Li was accustomed to other people's inquiring looks.

Although he is tall, his age can be seen in his face that has not fully grown out and his sparse beard.

It is indeed rare to be alone before you are a teenager.

While waiting for the ferry, Xue Li was bored and went outside the post house to offer incense to Guan Yu.

Puban was famous for its ferry, and the people who operated the boats believed in ghosts and gods, so there were often simple shrines at the ferry.

To the west of this place is the crossing of the Yellow River to the capital, and to the east is Jie County, which is the hometown of the famous general Guan Yu, so a shrine to Guan Yu was built.

General Guan, bless me, and let me leave my name in history like you.

After praying silently in his heart, Xue Li also waited for his ferry.

The official at the post station walked up to the statue of Guan Yu, stretched out his head to look at it, and curled his lips with a hint of disdain:

I thought it was someone's young master, but after worshiping Second Master Guan, he didn't even get a single Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Xue Li naturally couldn't hear this. After paying the boat fare for people and horses, Xue Li had no choice but to weigh the weight of his purse:

“If I had known that going out was so expensive, I should have paid more.”

Because he didn't know why he came to Beijing, Xue Li didn't dare to sell his old land to make up for the expenses.

Liu Yuanwai wanted to help, but in the end Xue Li only withdrew a few coins.

As a result, I didn’t expect that the horse crossing the ship was much more expensive than the people.

Weighing the money bag, Xue Li felt a little worried for a moment:

I wonder if there is any money-making business in the capital?

According to what Liu Yuanwai said, people who go to Beijing to do business often have to queue up, which can take as short as three to five days or as long as half a year.

For the first time, Xue Li felt that the problem of livelihood outside the home was so serious.

Across the river from Puban is Feng Yi.

Xue Li rode a pony around half a circle and took a look at the Changchun Palace south of Feng Yi.

The current emperor stationed troops here thirteen years ago and finally invaded Chang'an. Xue Li was quite envious.

If he had been born ten years earlier, he would have plunged into troubled times and strived for a world-shaking reputation.

But now... all the Turks have been wiped out, where else can they become famous?

Therefore, Xue Li felt inexplicably depressed.

Thinking of the little money left in his pocket, Xue Li hurriedly continued on his way, no longer interested in having fun.

The current plan is to enter Chang'an early so that we can make plans.

Running a hundred miles west along Feng Yi's official road, looking south, Xue Li saw the spectacular Chang'an City.

The city gate was wide open, and countless pedestrians, carriages and horses, as small as ants, were coming in and out of the city gate.

Then Xue Li discovered that he really knew nothing about geography.

Chang'an is already in sight, but there is still a Wei River between him and Chang'an.

After paying another sum of money in distress, he finally led the horse to the gate of Chang'an City.

It was really a huge city. Xue Li followed suit and lined up with the others to enter the city from the left side of the official road.

The team was not moving fast, so he still had time to raise his head to see how high the city gate was. As a result, he felt that the back of his head was touching his back, and he could not see the top of the city tower.

After entering the city, Xue Li never closed his mouth again. The clean and tidy streets, the pedestrians coming and going with their heads held high, and the dense and orderly buildings made him lost in it. He unconsciously followed the direction of the crowd and entered the city. .

But when he arrived here, Xue Li quickly fell in love with the place with thousands of unseen products, thousands of hawking calls, and hundreds of scents that made him salivate.

Then I managed to wake up after seeing the price.

Touching the money bag, he turned back three times and reluctantly left the market. After asking Xue Li several times, he found the post house.

After handing in the paperwork, Xue Li saw the clerk running out shouting, which made Xue Li momentarily confused:

Is there free accommodation promised here? Why did the person disappear instead?

But soon, the guard came back with a few people, and these people directly picked him up.

Where to go? Xue Li was a little panicked.

However, the officials were excited and their words were as fast as a sharp arrow. Xue Li couldn't understand them at all.

Before Xue Li could think about it, he felt a chill all over his body, and his simple clothes had been torn off by these big men.

Then for a while, he was thrown into a wooden barrel.

Just as he was about to stand up in panic, Xue Li was hit on the head. Xue Li looked up and saw a man holding a pig hair removal brush with an impatient expression on his face:

How can you enter the palace like this? Don't move around!

This time Xue Li understood, and he was very puzzled: Why should he enter the palace?

But now that the sword and bow were no longer in hand, Xue Li chose to be obedient and not resist.

So a quarter of an hour later, Xue Li, who had been completely washed, was forced to change into a new set of clothes and put into a carriage that had been prepared at the door of the post house.

During the entire subsequent process, Xue Li felt like he was being pushed away.

The carriage took him directly to the entrance of the palace. After the announcement, the yellow gate led him all the way to the innermost part.

After walking a long way, our eyes suddenly opened up. This was a simple martial arts arena, and a man in a red-yellow robe was bending a bow and setting an arrow.

With a crack sound, Xue Li looked sharply and saw Li Xian's arrow sinking into the shield as the target, and the feathers at the tail of the arrow were still trembling.

The man turned his head and revealed a heroic face. He smiled and said:

What do Rengui think of this archery technique?

Xue Li looked around curiously:

Who is Rengui?
