Chapter 431 Liu Bei’s decision(1/2)
The relationship between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan starts from when he was studying under Lu Zhi.
Liu Bei once studied under the support of his clan members under Lu Zhi, a great scholar in the world.
At that time, Liu Bei had not yet won the championship and studied in Houshi County with a group of noble children and young people born in aristocratic families.
Lu Zhi is one of the three great scholars of the world, and is well-known to all scholars.
For example, there are three great scholars today.
That is, these three great scholars are all great masters of soul refining, and each of them has their own unique skills to become famous.
Among the three great scholars in the world, Cai Yong is known as the best zither, and his zither technique is unique in the world and is unparalleled.
Once Cai Yong uses the piano technique, he can use magic sounds to hit the ears and attack the enemy.
You can also use the piano technique to bless your soldiers.
Deng Xuan was called the Jing Jue, and the classics were unattainable. He had reached an extremely profound level. Someone once challenged him, but he all returned in failure.
It is rumored that even the maids in Deng Xuan’s family read the Book of Songs through, and they can communicate and answer them all by using the words from the Six Classics.
Lu Zhi was a famous Confucian general in the world, and he was both civil and military.
Otherwise, when Lu Zhi was attacking the Yellow Turban Army before, he would not have been appointed as the Left General by the Longting of the Han Dynasty.
After several great scholars of the previous generation, Li Ying, Chen Fan and others died in the catastrophe of scholars and the party and imprisonment disaster.
These three people have become the leaders of the world's scholars who are in charge of Niu Er, and are very famous in the world.
Therefore, those who study under Lu Zhi are naturally either rich or noble. No one is born an ordinary person, and most of them are born from aristocratic families.
After studying under Lu Zhi for so many years, Liu Bei's academic performance was not very ideal.
He didn't like to study Confucian scriptures, and he was not very good at practicing. Lu Zhi didn't value him very much at that time.
However, during the years he studied under Lu Zhi, he truly broadened his horizons.
The great man focused on studying abroad, and what was the purpose of studying abroad? It was naturally to broaden his horizons and make friends with classmates who were powerful, wealthy, and had some backgrounds.
It was during those days when Lu Zhi studied under his command that Liu Bei had greatly broadened his horizons.
During that time, he finally understood why those aristocratic families were so powerful.
The resources behind them and their arrogant and domineering capital are not comparable to those of him, a small Zhuojun country bumpkin.
The so-called Han family members, the so-called bloodline of Emperor Gaozu, which he had always been proud of.
In the face of the children of those aristocratic families, they became vulnerable.
Most of these second generations are the most prosperous places in Luoyang City. The young men who grew up are the second generation of officials and rich second generations.
Therefore, they are inevitably involved in extravagant habits. They fight cocks, gossip, gamble, cause trouble, and are exaggerated and rogue...
On weekdays, it’s not necessary to say that ordinary people can’t afford to offend them, and some officials have to hide when they see them.
They studied in Houshi County just to gilt.
Liu Bei, who was from the remote border area of Youzhou, was naturally regarded by this group of super second-generation officials and rich second-generations as rural bullies, and no one could look at him.
Fortunately, he still worshiped several elder brothers during his study tour, and Gongsun Zan, the Liaoxi Province, was the elder brother he worshiped.
Gongsun Zan is also one of the few classmates Liu Bei had a good relationship with him when he was studying under Lu Zhi.
The reason why Gongsun Zan is very good to Liu Bei is that he is considerate of his younger brother during his studies.
The reason is also very simple: First, Gongsun Zan is from Youzhou like him, and is from Youzhou, so he naturally has to take care of each other when he is outside.
Township Party was a very common phenomenon at that time. Youzhou is located in the border area and is not favored by people from the Central Plains, so naturally it is necessary to be more united.
Second, although Gongsun Zan is a so-called noble child, his mother was not a proper wife, but just a concubine because she was a humble mother.
The status of a concubine is very low. According to customs, the son born to the concubine has no right to inherit the family business, and he cannot even be on the same table with his wife when eating.
Even though he was born in the great Gongsun family in western Liaoning, he could only serve as a minor official to support him.
Seeing that Gongsun Zan was born to a concubine, she had neither the right to inheritance nor the full support of the family behind her, she might not make much progress in her life.
Fortunately, his handsome talent was appreciated by a prefecture Liu because of his beautiful appearance, loud voice and talent. He was invited to be his son-in-law.
With the help of his father-in-law, Gongsun Zan was able to get the opportunity to study under Lu Zhi.
Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were both fellow townsmen, and they felt a little sympathetic with him.
One is a child of the Gongsun family in western Liaoning, but he was scolded by the same father because he was a concubine's son. However, his life experience is different from those legitimate sons.
It may take countless experiences and countless efforts to barely smooth out the huge gap in birth...
One is that the blood of Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang flows through his body. The so-called descendants of King Jing of Zhongshan, the relatives of the Han Dynasty, and the current emperor are the same as those of the emperor.
However, if one lives in the Beigong, in just one word, he can determine the life and death of millions of people. In just a thought, he can change the fate of countless scholars for more than ten years.
But the other one can only make a living by weaving some straw boots in poverty.
This is something that no one can stand.
A person's fate has been determined by 99% when you were born. Unless you work harder than this 99%, you will have a slight chance to change and make that percent real.
Because Gongsun Zan is quite good to Liu Bei,
Of course, the two have a good relationship.
When Gongsun Zan was studying under Lu Zhi, he took great care of Liu Bei.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion came to an end, I learned that he was excluded by eunuchs.
At this moment, Gongsun Zan wrote another letter and sent it to Liu Bei.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! And the letter in his hand was sent from Gongsun Zan.
According to the letter sent by Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan's current official position is indeed the commander of Liaoxi County.
The so-called commander of Liaoxi County is to say that he is the top military officer in Liaoxi County.
Today, Gongsun Zan is already very famous in the north, so it is naturally because of his white horse.
The so-called White Horse Yi Cong was composed of Gongsun Zan as the chief minister of the Liaodong vassal state before him and selected the slashers.
At first, dozens of people were expanded to thousands, with well-equipped and brave fighting, and were the nemesis of the northern nomadic peoples.
The combat effectiveness of this White Horse Yicong is also quite good.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Gongsun Zan encountered good luck again. The original commander of Liaoxi County was shot to death in the battle with the Yellow Turban Rebels.
However, Gongsun Zan naturally took over the commander of the Liaoxi County by relying on his military achievements.
Now he is only in his thirties, and at the age of just beginning to be a senior official who is rich and powerful, he is already a two thousand stone magnificent official in the court.
In other words, Gongsun Zan is now a magistrate who has the real power of a county and a country. The power in his hands is really great, but it can be regarded as a tremendous force in the north.
Whether it is the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou or the Wuhuan people north of Youzhou, the reputation of the White Horse Yicong who had never heard of Gongsun Zan or his commanders.
When he was in his prime, he already had some power. Gongsun Zan naturally remembered that he wanted to promote his former younger brother.
He also heard that Liu Bei had two righteous brothers under his command, both of whom were inappropriate and had the courage to be a thousand men. His martial arts cultivation had reached an extremely high level and was very powerful.
A warrior in the innate realm can fight against tens of thousands of elite cavalry.
Even among those aristocratic families, a master in the innate realm is the essence of the clan, that is, the treasure of the clan.
If there is command of a general in the innate realm, the morale and combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command will not be good.
Although the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou has long been pacified by him and the Han army in Youzhou, the Wuwan and Goguryeo in the north are still there. If you want to make achievements, you will inevitably have conflicts with these northern barbarians, and you need some forces under your command.
The current king is called Qiu Liju. He is very strong and talented, and is entrenched outside the frontier in Liaodong.
Especially under the current situation, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in the Central Plains, and the Beigong Boyu Rebellion in Xizhou was too busy to take care of himself. How could he have any time to continue to care about the Wuhuan Kingdom, which was far away outside Youzhou.
So at this moment, taking advantage of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Qiu Liju often led the Wuhuan cavalry into the mainland and invaded Wu, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou all suffered a lot.
Although Gongsun Zan had a top-level special army like Baima Yicong, Qiu Liju was not a simple person, but a very strategic Wuhuan Da Shanyu. The Wuhuan cavalry under his command were also a very terrifying top cavalry.
Now I heard that Liu Bei is very strong and has two top masters under his command, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
At this time, when Gongsun Zan was eager to help from outside, he naturally sent an invitation to write a book to Liu Bei and let him go north.
"Are these three major choices? In my opinion, each has its own advantages. How to choose is really a problem."
Guan Yu gritted his teeth, looking a little hesitant.
"Brother, come up with an idea. If you are the eldest brother, it's up to you to decide." Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei and said what he was thinking.
Liu Bei nodded and looked at the other three people in the tent. These three people were his confidants and his biggest support now. He felt relieved when all three of them said that.
Liu Bei said seriously: "We established such a big brother in the process of fighting against the Yellow Turban Rebels, but the court only awarded me a small county lieutenant. How could I not do this county lieutenant?
In this way, there are only two choices in front of me. The first is to follow General Ye and continue to accumulate military merits.
The second is to return to Youzhou to join my old classmate, namely Gongsun Duwei.
Both are good choices.
General Ye is now a general of chariots and cavalry, with power over the government and the country, and he is still young and has a bright future.
Although Gongsun Duwei is not as good as Ye Cheqi, he is also very powerful and is still my old classmate.”
