Three Kingdoms

Chapter 4 How to take the road

Compared with Yuan Benchu's ambition, Fei Qian is really the best example of muddling along.

Fei Qian felt that in this highly pressured Three Kingdoms, there were so many talented people who could sing their praises and lead the way, but he wanted force but not force, intelligence but not intelligence, so what else could he do to compete with others?

Therefore, it may be relatively easy to find a thigh to hug tightly, at least with less risk.

But before that, there are a few things to consider.

Fei Qian dipped some tea on the table and began to draw bits and pieces without using pen and ink. When he applied the water on it later, he would not have to worry about being seen.

Thanks to the influence of many classic TV series of later generations, Fei Qian is still very good at keeping secrets and being meticulous. Many secrets are leaked in the details. If your secrets are leaked, who knows if people will think you are a monster, and they will be arrested and torn apart. Eight yuan?

Fei Qian drew a rough outline based on the Han Dynasty map in his memory.

The thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty are Yongzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou and Jiaozhou.

Fei Qian first crossed out Liangzhou and Youzhou, then Yizhou and Jiaozhou. Liangzhou borders the Qiang and Xiongnu, and has been hard-working and difficult for many years, so it is not suitable; the Youzhou barbarians and Xianbei also come to the Han Dynasty to get something when they have nothing, just like the devils of later generations, although Gongsun Zan on the White Horse can still control it now , but he will be killed by Yuan Shao soon, which is not reliable; let alone Jiaozhou, it is still a private reservation for the South Vietnamese people, and there are many sweltering insects, but there are no pesticides in this era; Yizhou may be good, but it needs When entering Shu, you have to climb the plank road that is difficult to reach the sky. When you climb from Luoyang to CD, there are no planes, trains or cars. You have to rely on two legs. Forget it...

Bingzhou - Not OK. When Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, he killed Ding Yuan, the leader of the Bingzhou warlord, and then the Bingzhou army followed Lu Bu into exile. As a result, Bingzhou had no army to defend itself for a long time, and the Huns could come and leave whenever they wanted. Go...cross it out——

Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou... These are the four states where the Yellow Turban Rebellion was the most serious. To this day, there are still remaining Yellow Turban troops in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou, and Fei Qian remembers that wars in these four states were the most frequent at that time. Almost all the populations in these areas were wiped out. Cao Cao's "There is no cockcrow for a thousand miles" at that time is the best explanation.

There were only three places left: Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou. Fei Qian held his chin and thought, well, Xuzhou—if you go to Xuzhou, you have to move again before Cao Cao's father is killed, otherwise he will escape. Cao Cao's massacre and the internal strife between Lu Bu and Liu Bei also killed many people. Forget it, it's too troublesome. Let's exclude Xuzhou.

Jingzhou, at least before the Battle of Chibi, was pretty good. After the Battle of Chibi, it was split into three parts, fought over, changed hands many times, and resulted in countless casualties...

Yangzhou, um, pretty good. Although the little overlord Sun Jian was short-lived, he was the last one to submit to the Three Kingdoms. Apart from not being affected by the Battle of Chibi, he had never been conquered by Wei until Sun Hao. Fei Qian went to Yangzhou With a heavy click, it’s him!

After solving the problem of where to go, the current problem is to solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation, in other words, "money".

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the five-baht coin was still commonly used in the market. However, copper was expensive and the quantity was small, which could not fully meet the needs of trade. Therefore, the market still used cloth as the general equivalent for calculation. Gold and silver are rarely used by ordinary people. Just like large checks in later generations, they have to be exchanged for copper coins at a silver shop before they can be used.

Fei Qian counted on his fingers. He had bought two pieces of glassware in exchange for some gold and silver. However, the wars in the Three Kingdoms meant that prices would inevitably skyrocket. How long would this gold and silver last?

If that doesn't work, just make a few more glazed wares and exchange money to open a shop or something like that when you get to Yangzhou.

Well, it's an escape, that's pretty much it.

What if you want to participate in this melee?

Fei Qian wiped off all the water stains on the table, and then wrote the names of three people: Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan. Don’t bother to think about other extras that are just soy sauce.

In terms of winners, Cao Cao of the Wei State is the best choice, but it is probably the hardest to get along in the Wei State. The big boss Cao Cao is naturally suspicious, and each of his subordinates is more cunning and clever than the last. Just, how far can you go? Maybe he will be sent to Xiliang as a county magistrate...

Sun Quan has been fighting against the local forces of Jiangdong all his life. Oh, and his father and brother have not been able to completely defeat him in three lifetimes. He was almost kidnapped by the Jiangdong nobles many times. The best thing is that he almost surrendered in the Battle of Chibi. Prove that I, a migrant with no roots, can defeat these local snakes?

Liu Bei... was tolerant of everything, but he had no choice but to be tolerant. He wandered around and took refuge in someone, and that person would be unlucky. If he defected to Gongsun Zan, he would not be entitled to food and drink, and he also poached Gongsun Zan's corner. If he defected to Tao Qian, he would have taken over the boss. He failed to defend the territory; he surrendered to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao confided in Liu Bei to lead his troops, but Liu Bei abducted him; he surrendered to Yuan Shao, and killed two of Yuan Shao's powerful generals; he surrendered to Liu Biao, and occupied Liu Biao's son's territory and refused to return it; he surrendered to Liu Zhang, and even his troops and horses were killed. All the territory was taken away...

Fei Qian thought with malice of the irresponsible speculations on posterity forums: Is this Liu Bei the lone star of the Heavenly Evil? No one can defeat him, except the lone star of the Heavenly Evil...

Fei Qian's fingers clicked on the names of these three people, until the handwriting was blurred...

Forget it, if we can’t solve it immediately, we’ll put it aside for the time being. The rules brought by Fei Qian’s descendants have worked. Let’s discuss the issue of choosing which boss to take refuge in later...

Fei Qian suddenly felt a little hungry. The two-meal system was unreliable and made him hungry easily! Fei Qian shouted to the door: "Uncle Fu! Uncle Fu! Is there anything else to eat? I'm hungry -" Uncle Fu is good at everything, but he is too stubborn. He can also prepare some food for Fei Qian at any time. Qian eats when he is hungry, but he refuses to change his meal from two meals a day to three meals a day, no matter how hard Feiqian talks, it doesn't matter.

The world is big and the world has the biggest food. Don’t care about Sun Liu Cao. Eat your fill first. Fei Qian sat cross-legged on the ground without any image, holding his cheek and thinking, I guess Dong Zhuo has received the edict by now. Dong Zhuo is coming soon. , I also have to prepare to run away——

Soon, Uncle Fu walked in with a plate outside the door.

"By the way, there's one more thing," Fei Qian thought to himself, "If I want to leave, I have to convince Old Uncle Fu first. We can't just leave him here..."

On a hill outside Dong Zhuojun's camp in Mianchi. Dozens of tall and round Xiliang soldiers surrounded the foot of the mountain. It was obvious that there was someone important on the mountain.

Someone had already surrounded it on three sides with silk tents on the flat ground at the top of the hill, leaving only the east side. When the breeze blew, a figure could be vaguely seen through the silk tents.

A scholar from Eguan, wearing a wide robe and long sleeves, was kneeling alone on the mat in the middle of the silk tent. There was a pot of wine and two or three plates of appetizers on the table beside the mat. The scribe in white was pouring himself a glass of wine. drink.

This man has a handsome face, a slender beard, and a graceful demeanor. He just keeps frowning slightly, as if there is something difficult to understand in his mind.

I don’t know how long it took, but following the sound of slight footsteps behind me, a deep voice came: “Brother Wenyou, you are so elegant!”

The scribe in white reached for a wine bowl, poured a bowl of wine, and said, "Come on, Wen He, don't talk about anything else, drink a bowl with me."

These two people are the two top counselors of the Xiliang Army, Li Ru and Jia Xu.

Jia Xu took the wine bowl, sat down diagonally, crossed his legs, drank it all in one gulp, put the wine bowl on the table, and without waiting for Li Ru to add more wine, he picked up the wine bottle and poured another bowl, smiling. He said: "The last time I had a drink with you was three years ago. It's really rare -" He glanced at Li Ru, who was sitting upright on his knees, "Hey, it's just you and me here, so we don't have to be so calm, right?" "

Li Ruping held the wine bowl, sat like a bell, slowly drank the wine in the bowl, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, "I'm used to it, I can't change it, just do what you want and don't worry about me."

"Okay, okay, it's up to you, up to you." Jia Yi didn't force it, and didn't use chopsticks. He just grabbed a piece of beef with his hands and put it in his mouth to chew.

Li Ru didn't care about Jia Xu's rude behavior, as if he didn't see it at all. He gently rolled up his sleeves and put down the wine bowl, looking east, with an inexplicable brilliance flashing in his eyes.

"Wen He, we are more than a hundred miles away from Luoyang. I thought there was no hope of coming to Luoyang again in this life, but I never thought that I would be able to set foot here for the second time." Li Ru looked from a distance, as if he could already see Luoyang, his voice was calm, but There was a slight vibrato inadvertently.

Jia Xu was grabbing another piece of beef. He was stunned when he heard this, and threw the beef back into the plate. He actually dipped his greasy fingers directly into his wine bowl and washed it. Then he picked up the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp, laughing. , but the laughter seemed a little hoarse, "Well, that's right, it's been more than three hundred years, and we're actually back!"

"It's three hundred and thirty-seven years..."

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment and said speechlessly: "...Wen You, you really understand this..."

"How can we not be clear that during these three hundred and thirty-seven years, we and others have been driven to a desolate place to live among the Qiang and Hu people, with no grain to eat and no bed to sleep on? Even the clothes we wear have almost forgotten how to wear them. wore……"

"Twenty years ago, my father and I came to Luoyang with Hu Shang," Li Ru said slowly. "The city is high and the streets are wide and prosperous. It almost feels like we are not in the world, but it feels like all the good things in the world are gathered together. Here... But I was wrong. Because of my fun, I got carried away and ran into the main square of the market. They actually drove me and my father out of the market in the cold winter... Fortunately, a family took me in, otherwise, otherwise He had already frozen to death that night..."

Jia Xu was speechless, put down the wine bowl, and slowly sat upright on his knees. He and Li Ru stared at the east with faint eyes, "...When I was still young, my father...suffered from bulimia and was looking for food." The tribes all around didn’t have any refined tea for digestion. It happened to be that someone came from Luoyang at that time, so I knelt down and begged for some tea to save my father. Unexpectedly, that person..."

"...The man actually said -" Jia Xu grasped the edge of the table tightly, took a long breath, and his fingers turned white with force, "... An can save Xie Ni Hu Man... Hehe, hehe , Haha, we are actually evil and rebellious barbarians, we only deserve to die..."

The two of them were silent for a long time.

"Brother Wenyou, in my opinion, this is not a good opportunity. Furthermore... although Dong Zhongying is heroic and has a charming temperament, he is not a good master who can rule the world..."

"I know it." Li Ru still said calmly, "But when are you waiting for me? In my father's generation, there were still dozens of people who could be called smart. But now, how many people can pass on to us? Two hundred years ago, I Although my generation was defeated once, it was forced to move the capital to Luoyang. Now, what does it matter if I lose again?"

Li Ru poured a bowl of wine, drank it all, threw the bowl out, hit it among the rocks and smashed it to pieces: "If it's possible, I'll replace it; if it's not, I'll mess with it!"
