Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1092 It's nice to be young

  In the mausoleum in the north of Chang'an City, in the original office of Zhong Shao's government office, there were cigarettes lingering peacefully, but Zhong Shao couldn't feel a little bit relaxed. Although it is midsummer now, Zhong Shao is wearing a medicinal cloth on his head, a hood, and heavy clothes, leaning on the couch, showing a very weak appearance.

  Chang'an changed, and Zhong Shao took Liu Xie Yeben to escape. Although the final result was neither good nor bad, for someone of Zhong Shao's age, it was nothing short of an exciting roller coaster.

  Originally, they were all well-clothed and well-fed, so how could they withstand the double test of mood and physical fitness? After relaxing, the illness suddenly attacked Zhong Shao.

In the hall, the servants who were surrounded by Zhong Shao were all driven out from a distance at this time. The reason is very simple, it is to give the people sitting in front of him at this moment more secrecy and more insurance. .

  The person sitting opposite Zhong Shao, although he has a relaxed and elegant demeanor, has a somewhat tough build. Although this time he went deep into Chang'an, he still looks calm and breezy...

   This person is Xu Shu.

At present, in Chang'an City, Zhong Shao's influence has plummeted, coupled with the fact that he is suffering from illness, it is even more miserable. Although he can still maintain such a wealthy air, everyone including Zhong Shao himself knows that this situation has passed. It has deteriorated to the extreme.

  For the sake of wealth and honor, Zhong Shao can gamble his fate. When Li Guo is in full swing, he can fight, manipulate people's hearts, and combine vertically and horizontally, causing a huge storm. This kind of thing is almost tantamount to risking one's life and betting one's life. Since Zhong Shao has already succeeded once and tasted the sweetness of power, he will naturally not be willing to fail just like that, and become a law-abiding rich man.

  There is not much time left for the planters.

Zhao Wen is currently busy establishing relationships and negotiating deals with the gentry in Guanzhong, maybe he can't take care of it for the time being, maybe he feels that he is not fully prepared for the army, or maybe he is worried that killing Zhong Shao first will cause other people to have lingering fears Bad consequences, so this period of time will not be kind to home how.

  Because before dealing with Zhong Shao, Zhao Wen had to deal with Xia Mou first. After all, Xia Mou has soldiers in his hands, but Zhong Shao doesn't have many troops...

  Xia Mou is not a fool, of course he knows that if he falls to Zhao Wen and acts as a **** in his hands, he is afraid that after finishing the dirty work, it will be his turn to be cooked next.

  So Xia Mou dragged on, and never answered Zhao Wen directly...

  Xia Mou is also helpless, it is impossible for him to turn back and cooperate with Zhong Shao, even if he turns back, I am afraid that he will not be trusted by Zhong Shao. Xia Mou had cooperated with Zhong Shao before, but failed to stand on Zhong Shao's side at the critical moment, so although he has maintained his own strength now, the situation is still difficult to solve.

  Three parties in Guanzhong, no one trusts the other, and no one trusts the other.

   Therefore, Xu Shu came.

  In the current situation, Xu Shu's own safety is also in a delicate state just like the situation in Guanzhong.

   If you come sneakily like now, you can naturally get in touch with Zhong Shao smoothly, but you also face the risk of being sneakily killed by Zhao Wen pretending to be a gangster.

  If the banner is played out aboveboard, Zhao Wen will not dare to do anything for a while. However, disclosing his identity is tantamount to sounding the alarm for Zhao Wen, saying that General Zhengxi's next goal is to go to Guanzhong...

  Everyone knows that Xu Shu is Xi Cao under General Zhengxi, so once he shows up in Guanzhong, he must have something important to do, otherwise is he really just here for sightseeing?

During this period of time, Xu Shu was in Diaoyin, looking at the situation in Guanzhong, watching the chaos break out, watching the chaos spread, watching the emperor of the Han Dynasty, watching civil servants and generals being influenced by Fei Qian alone, watching the direction of the big man almost Changed by Fei Qian alone, looking at this majestic and majestic Guanzhong, it was finally torn apart. Looking at the Han Dynasty, she finally exposed her essence that could break at the touch of a touch...

  Xu Shu's chest was surging, how could he reply?

  The big man has come to such a situation today, Xu Shu is also very emotional. In the past, because of the coercion and coercion of the gentry, he had to leave his hometown incognito, but under the protection of the gentry, he got the opportunity to walk under the sun again. Therefore, for the gentry, Xu Shu's heart is contradictory .

  But when he was under the Lushan Mountain, he had communicated with Fei Qian for a period of time, and Xu Shu also understood that in fact the current situation of the Han Dynasty, the nobles are also inescapable of responsibility...

After the troubled times of the Han Dynasty, when the country was established, the princes of various places were also quite powerful, so Liu Bang did not dare to make a big revolution, and reluctantly maintained it, temporarily giving the name of the big man, but the threats from various places have always been the same. The thorn in the back made the emperor of the Han Dynasty very unhappy, so it led to a theory of the induction between heaven and man by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

It is also true that Emperor Wu of the Han deliberately supported those small families other than the ancient aristocrats of the six countries, and promoted the Confucian class who were small and low-level and driven from east to west during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods to suppress the ancient aristocrats. He was treated so generously that he even did not hesitate to resist and disobey his mother and the queen mother. From then on, these scripture heirs gradually developed.

  Although these houses of scriptures did allow Emperor Wu of the Han to realize his dream of becoming a famous emperor through the ages, they have continued to this day, but they are also consuming the vitality of the great man day after day!

If the children of these noble families can fulfill their responsibilities and make the ruling mechanism of the Han Dynasty run smoothly, that’s fine. , so that the politics of the big man is now chaotic and distorted to the extreme.

  The cause of the disease of the big man was actually planted during the founding of the country. Although there were some strong medicines in the middle, there was no change. Every slight change would cause a sudden mutiny. Take Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty as an example. He might not know that it was a mistake for him to sell his official position, but the finances of the big man have gone bankrupt. A large number of people are controlled by the gentry.

   It's just that in the later stage, Han Lingdi himself gave up the treatment, that's...

Xu Shu could see this, but he couldn't figure out what to do. Moreover, he himself was from a poor family, and he didn't have much strength to break this situation and smash those invisible shackles. If you don't know it, just pretend that nothing happened, be a shrinking turtle, and live until the day you rot.

   Then he met Fei Qian in Jingzhou.

   This person who occasionally makes some weird words seems to be full of weird ideas in his head. Unlike most children of aristocratic families, his thinking is always amazing like a powerful and unconstrained style.

   And the key point is that this Fei Qian also believes that the children of the gentry need to change and break the original situation!

Xu Shu naturally understood that he followed Fei Qian, and then broke the shackles on the big man step by step. He didn't know how many disturbances would be caused, and how many people would be drowned in it, but he watched the big man coming in the future It collapsed in the blood and fire, but how could he bear it?

   It's not that Xu Shu has much affection for the emperor Liu Xie, but that the word "big man" has penetrated into his blood. To Xu Shu, it doesn't matter who the emperor is or who he is, whether he goes further, whether he exists or not, but the big man can't fall down...

   At least I can't fall down in front of my eyes again!

It has to be said that in Xu Shu's body, there is such a soul that may be somewhat stubborn and fierce. If it weren't for this, he would not have been forced to flee because of the murder back then. You can live with the situation, ask a small official in the county town and village to support your family...

  Since I have chosen to follow Fei Qian on this path, I will never turn back.

   Feiqian sits in Pingyang, and he has something to plan and deploy, so Xu Shu in Zuo Fengyi naturally has a task in mind to complete.

  The most important part of this task is to have a good talk with this sick, seemingly exhausted Zhong Shao who is about to die of illness in the next moment.

Zhong Shao is more than sixty years old. It can be said that he can be regarded as the elder of the three dynasties. He has been the emperor of the Han Dynasty for three times. With a lot of prestige, especially in this place in the middle of the pass, Zhong Shao's attitude can still affect some people.

  Xu Shu and Zhong Shao looked at each other for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Zhong, Emperor Han has arrived in Luoyang."

  After the words were spoken, the room was still quiet, only the sound of Shao hula hula breathing with difficulty was heard.

  Zhong Shao was panting, as if he was gathering strength, and he didn't seem to hear Xu Shu's words. After a long time, Zhong Shao said slowly: "General Zhengxi is now strong and strong, and he has a big idea... This Emperor of Han...cough cough...you can have nothing..."

  Xu Shu smiled, ignored the sourness in Zhong Shao's tone, and said: "Nowadays, people in Guanzhong are scattered, and Mr. Zhong is suffering from illness. Why don't you let Mr. Ling come forward to settle the situation?"

Zhong Shao rolled his eyelids, feeling a little annoyed at which pot Xu Shu would not open and which pot to lift. If his son Zhong Jie had been a little bit stronger, he would not have been at a disadvantage when confronted with Yang Biao's son Yang Xiu, and could do nothing. I can only watch helplessly as Han Emperor Liu Xie goes east...

   "Now that things have come to this, the Zhong family can only live a day to day..." Zhong Shao said weakly, "...the world is so cold, it is a blessing to be able to live in peace..."

   "Oh?" Xu Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "It's really rare for the kindred man to be so open-minded..."

   Zhong Shao closed his eyes and said, "A certain old man... time is running out..."

  Xu Shu added lightly: "But... Mr. Ling, he is in his prime..."

  Though the words were light, Zhong Shao was shocked when he said them. He couldn't help but straightened his back, opened his eyes wide, and sat up a little.

  When people are old, they naturally lack mental strength.

Why is the age limit of a head of state often stipulated in the constitutions of later generations? It is because the age is not enough and the experience is not enough to penetrate people's hearts and deter those demons and ghosts. Often either you lose your ambition and end up with the light, or you lose your patience, leading to violent conflicts...

Therefore, Zhong Shao is now suffering from illness, knowing that there is not much time left, and his ambition is not as strong as before. But for the family, for his children, this time is naturally still relatively short. long...

  For a person who once controlled the power of the court, he naturally knew how painful it would be for the whole family if the Yang family controlled the court, or even suffered in Guanzhong under the jurisdiction of someone like Zhao Wen.

  Xu Shu said such words, on the one hand, it means that he is already very aware of the current situation of the Zhong family, and on the other hand, it also faintly implies that there is still room for further development of Zhong Jie...

Zhong Shao stared at Xu Shu closely, and said word by word: "This statement...is your intention, or is it the intention of General Zhengxi?" If it is Xu Shu's intention alone, then it is naturally so shallow that it is not worth mentioning. Mention, but if it is to convey the meaning of General Zhengxi, then it is another matter.

  Fei's hidden foundation in Guanzhong is naturally not as good as that of the breeders, basically there is no such thing.

  But Fei Qian has a strong army in his hands!

  A powerful army that swept north and beat Xianbei to the wind and fled!

  A powerful army that not only Zhong Shao himself, but even Yang Biao is a little afraid of!

  At the beginning, Zhong Shao felt that Fei Qian’s army was too threatening, so he wanted to overwhelm Fei Qian, but now...

Although Fei Qian's current army size is definitely not enough to sweep the world, but for a region or a county, of course, everyone is afraid of angering Fei Qian, and then drive out this powerful army regardless , even if he could defeat Fei Qian in the end, the price to be paid would be quite high.

  Xu Shu smiled, but did not answer Zhong Shao's question directly, but continued: "Mr. Zhong, you need to know General Zhengxi... also in the heyday of Spring and Autumn..."

  Chong Shao's original Rada's face couldn't help but twitched.

   Xu Shu's voice-over, Zhong Shao could hear clearly. If Zhong Jie's age is not too old, then Fei Qian's age is even younger.

  Furthermore, Feiqian's economic skills and ability to train soldiers are simply...

  If his own child could have half of Fei Qian's ability, Zhong Shao wouldn't be so worried now.

  How long did it take for General Zhengxi's army to grow from its initial formation to its current size?

   If you give General Zhengxi some more time and allow him to master more resources, how many more soldiers can he produce? Then in the future...

   Zhong Shao didn't even dare to think about it.

   Feiqian Spring and Autumn is at its peak!

  Although there were some estrangements and rifts before, there was no direct confrontation after all, so it was just a matter of face. In addition, General Fei Qian of Zhengxi has such scheming and skill, and controls such a powerful army. As long as he does not suddenly fall down in the future, he can manage it slowly for at least a few decades. At that time, who can match it? ?

   But Zhong Shao is now old and sick. Even if he escapes the attack of the disease this time, how long can he be threatened by death?

  Young, how nice...

Thinking of this, even though Zhong Shao, who has gone through ups and downs and ups and downs, couldn't help but take off his mask, showing a tired look, shaking his head and sighing: "Forget it... If we can keep Zhong's family for a long time, this old man Let’s listen to General Zhengxi’s order…”
