Chapter 2 The word says:

the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero.Right and wrong, success or failure turned around: Qishan is still there, and the sunset is red several times. White-haired fishermen and woodcutters on the river, used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze.Happy meeting with a pot of turbid wine: so many things in ancient and modern times are all laughed and talked about. The first Taoyuan hero three-knot beheaded the yellow scarf hero first meritorious service Speaking of the general trend of the world, the long-term division must be united, and the long-term union must be divided: the seven countries were divided on the weekend and merged into Qin.After the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, Chu and Han were divided and merged into Han.The Han Dynasty revolted from Gaozu's killing of the white snake and ruled the world.Later, Guangwu Zhongxing was passed on to Emperor Xian, and it was divided into three kingdoms.The reason why it caused the chaos almost began with the two emperors Huan and Ling.Emperor Huan imprisoned good people and worshiped eunuchs.And when Emperor Huan died, Emperor Ling ascended the throne, General Dou Wu, Taifu Chen Fan assisted each other.From time to time, eunuchs Cao Jie and others took power, and Dou Wu and Chen Fan tried to get rid of them.Zhongjuan has become more and more horizontal since then.

In April of the second year of Jianning, Wangri was at the Wende Hall of Emperor Yu.Fang Shengzuo, the corner of the hall suddenly blew up, and I saw a big snake flying down from the beam and coiled on the chair.The emperor fell in shock, rushed to the palace with first aid from left and right, and all the officials ran away.After a while, the snake disappeared.Suddenly, there was a heavy thunderstorm and hailstorm, which didn't stop until midnight, and it was damaged but countless houses were destroyed.Jianning four years in February, Luoyang earthquake; The sea of ​​water overflows again, and the inhabitants of the coasts are swept up into the sea by big waves.In the first year of Guanghe, the female chicken turns into a male.On the first day of June, more than ten feet of black air flew into Wende Hall.In autumn and July, there is a rainbow seen in Yutang; the banks of Wuyuan Mountain are all cracked.All kinds of ominous things don't stop at one end.The emperor issued an edict to ask the ministers about the reason for the disaster, and Cai Yong, the judge, thought that Ni ④ fell into a chicken and turned into a chicken, which was caused by Fusi ⑤ intervening in politics.Di Lanzuo sighed, because he changed his clothes.Cao Jie peeped at the back and announced to the left and right; then he was convicted of other things and sent back to the field.Later Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Feng Xuan, Duan Gui, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Jian Shuo, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng were all gangsters, and they were called ten regular attendants.Emperor Zun believed in Zhang Ren, called him father, and the government was changing day by day, so that the minds of the people in the world were confused, and thieves flocked.

At that time, there were three brothers in Julu County: Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang.Zhang Jiao was originally a talented scholar. Because he went to the mountains to collect herbs, he met an old man with blue eyes and a childlike face, holding a quinoa stick in his hand, and called the horn to a cave.If you get it, it will be declared by the present day to save the world's people; if you have a different intention, you will get evil rewards.Ask for your name.The old man said: I am the old fairy of Nanhua.After saying that, he turned into a clear wind and left.Jiao got this book, studied it at dawn and night, could call the wind and rain, and was called Taiping Taoist.During the first month of the first year of Zhongping, when the epidemic was prevalent, Zhang Jiao scattered talisman water to heal people and claimed to be a great virtuous teacher.There are more than 500 apprentices in Jiao, who travel all over the world, and all of them can write amulets and recite mantras.After the next day, there were many disciples, and there were thirty-six square corners, more than ten thousand people on the big side, and six to seven thousand people on the small side. Jiazi, good luck in the world.Let them each use white clay and write the word Jiazi on the gate of the house.People from the eight prefectures of Qi, You, Xu, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan all served the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao.Jiao sent his party, Ma Yuanyi, to secretly buy gold and silk, and make friends with Zhongjuan Fengxuan, thinking that he should respond internally.Jiao discussed with his second brother and said: "The most rare thing is the hearts of the people."Now that the people's hearts are in order, it would be a pity if we don't take advantage of the situation to take over the world.So on the one hand, he made a yellow flag privately and made an appointment to raise an incident; on the other hand, he made his disciple Tang Zhou write a letter and report it to him.Tang Zhou went straight to the middle of the province to report the change.The emperor summoned General He Jin to dispatch troops to capture Ma Yuanyi and behead him. Then Feng Qiao and others were sent to prison.When Zhang Jiao heard the news of the magistrate, he raised his troops in the starry night, calling himself Tiangong General, Zhang Bao, Digong General, and Zhang Liang, Rengong General. He prophesied to the crowd and said: Now the Han Dynasty is coming to an end, and the great sage will come out.You should all follow the sky and follow the righteousness, and enjoy peace.Four to five million people from all over the world, wrapped in yellow scarves, rebelled from Zhangjiao.The thieves are so powerful that the officers and soldiers are overwhelmed⑦.He Jinzuo issued an imperial edict at once, ordering all places to prepare for the thieves and make meritorious deeds. On the one hand, Zhonglang sent Lu Zhi, Huangfusong, and Zhu Jun to attract elite soldiers and divide them into three groups to fight against them.

Let's talk about Zhang Jiao's army, which violated the boundary of Youzhou before.Liu Yan, the prefect of Youzhou, was born in Jingling, Jiangxia, and heir of King Lu Gong of Han.Jing said: "There are many thieves and soldiers, but we are few. The Duke of Ming should recruit troops quickly to meet the enemy."Liu Yanran said that he would go out and recruit volunteers at any time.The banwen traveled to Zhuo County, leading to a hero in Zhuo County.That man was not very good at reading; he was kind-hearted, reticent, and his emotions and anger were not visible; he was always ambitious and loved to make friends with the world's heroes; he was born seven feet and five inches long, with his ears hanging on his shoulders, his hands above his knees, and his eyes could move freely. Gu Qi's ears, face like a crown of jade, lips like fat; after Zhongshan King Jing Liu Sheng, great-great-grandson of Emperor Han Jing: surname Liu, first name Bei, style name Xuande.In the past, Liu Zhen, the son of Liu Sheng, was granted the title of Marquis of Zhuolu Ting in the Han Dynasty, and later he was the Marquis of Jin Jin, so he left this branch in Zhuo County.Xuande ancestor Liu Xiong, father Liu Hong.Hong Zeng cited Xiaolian 9, also tried to be an official, and died early.Xuande was young and lonely, and he was filial to his mother; his family was poor, and he sold and weaved mats as a business.He lives in Lousang Village, this county.Southeast of his home, there is a big mulberry tree, more than five zhang high, looking into the distance, it looks like a car cover.Xiangzhe said: This family must have noble people.When Xuande was young, he played with the young children under the tree and said: "I am the son of heaven, and I should ride on this chariot cover."Uncle Liu Yuanqi was surprised by his words, saying: "This child is very human!"Seeing that Xuande's family was poor, he was given regular funds.At the age of fifteen, his mother made a study tour, where he taught Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi; he became friends with Gongsun Zan and others.And when Liu Yan issued a list to recruit troops, Xuande was already twenty-eight years old.

When I saw the announcement that day, I sighed deeply.Then one person sternly said: Why do you sigh if a man does not contribute to the country?Xuande looked back at him: eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes around him, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, his voice was like thunder, and his momentum was like a galloping horse.Seeing his abnormal appearance, Xuande asked his name.The person said: A certain surname is Zhang, surname is Fei, and style name is Yide.Living in Zhuojun for generations, he had quite a farm, sold wine and butchered pigs, and loved to make friends with heroes all over the world.Just saw the public look at the list and sighed, so I asked.Xuande said: "I am a relative of the Han Dynasty. My surname is Liu and my first name is Bei."Today I heard that the Yellow Turban is advocating chaos, and I have the ambition to destroy the thieves and calm the people; but I can't hate it, so I sigh.Fei said: "I have quite a lot of money. How about recruiting Yong Yong to carry out important events with the public?"Xuande was very happy, so he went to the village shop to drink with his colleagues.In the drinking room, I saw a big man pushing a car and rested at the front of the store. When he entered the store and sat down, he called the bartender: "Pour wine and eat, I will rush into the city to join the army."Xuande looked at him: he was nine feet long, and his beard was two feet long; his face was like heavy jujubes, his lips were like fat; his eyes were red and phoenix, and his eyebrows were lying silkworms: his appearance was dignified and majestic.Xuande invited him to sit with him and asked his name.The man said: My surname is Guan, my name is Yu, and my name is Changsheng. Later, it was changed to Yunchang, and I am also a man of Xieliang in Hedong.Because I was powerful and bullied others, I killed him; I fled the rivers and lakes for five or six years.Today, I heard that this place is recruiting troops to destroy thieves, so I am here to apply.Xuande then told it with his own will.Yun Da is overjoyed.Go to Zhang Feizhuang together to discuss major issues.

Fei said: "There is a peach garden behind my village, where the flowers are in full bloom. Tomorrow, I will pray to heaven and earth in the garden. The three of us will become brothers and work together to achieve great things."Xuande and Yunchang responded in unison, "It's very good."The next day, in the peach orchard, prepared the sacrifices of black cattle and white horses, etc., the three of them burned incense and worshiped again, and said: "Remember Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, although they have different surnames, if they become brothers, they will work together to save the poor and help the crisis; Report to the country, go down to An Lishu⑪; do not expect to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but hope to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day.Empress Dowager, learn from this heart.Unjust and ungrateful, heaven and man will kill together.After the oath, I will worship Xuande as my elder brother, Guan Yu next, and Zhang Fei as my younger brother.After the sacrifice of heaven and earth, the cattle were slaughtered and wine was served, and more than three hundred warriors were gathered together, and they got drunk in the peach orchard.I will pack up my weapons in the future, but I hate that I have no horses to ride.While I was thinking about it, I reported that I had two guests, leading a group of companions and driving a group of horses to the village.Xuande said: "God bless me too!"The three went out of the village to meet them.It turned out that the two customers were big merchants in Zhongshan: Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, who went north every year to sell horses, and recently returned because of Kou Fa.Xuande invited the two of them to the village, put wine in charge of them, and told them that they wanted to kill the thieves and make the people safe.The two guests were overjoyed, and they were willing to give fifty good horses to each other; they also donated five hundred taels of gold and silver, and one thousand catties of iron and iron for capital and utensils.Xuande bid farewell to the two guests, and ordered a good craftsman to make a double-strand sword.Yunchang made the Dragon Yanyue Knife, also known as the Lengyan Saw, which weighs eighty-two catties.Zhang Fei made eight steel spears.Each equipped with full body armor.More than 500 people from Yuyong gathered together to see Zou Jing.Zou Jing introduced the prefect Liu Yan.Three people see Bi, each with a name.When Xuande mentioned the sect, Liu Yan was overjoyed, so he recognized Xuande as his concubine.

Within a few days, it was reported that the Yellow Turban Bandit General Cheng Yuanzhi had 50,000 troops to invade Zhuo County.Liu Yan ordered Zou Jing to lead Xuande and the other three to lead an army of five hundred to defeat the enemy.Xuande and others happily led the army forward until they met the thieves at the foot of Daxing Mountain.All the thieves wore their hair loose and wiped their foreheads with yellow scarves.At present, the two armies are facing each other, Xuande goes out, with Yunchang on the left and Yide on the right, raising his whip and yelling: "Rebels against the country, why don't you come down sooner!"Cheng Yuanzhi was furious and sent his deputy Deng Mao to fight.Zhang Fei stretched out the Eight Snake Spear straight out, raised his hand, and stabbed Deng Mao in the heart, turned over and fell off the horse.When Cheng Yuanzhi saw that Deng Mao had been killed, he slapped his horse and wielded his sword, and took Zhang Fei directly.Yun Chang brandished his sword and galloped his horse to meet him.When Cheng Yuanzhi saw it, he was taken aback; he was caught off guard, and was cut in two by Yun Chang's saber.Later generations have a poem praising the two, saying:

The hero Lu Ying is in the present, trying the spear and the knife.When you first come out, you will show your power, and you will be able to mark your name with three points. Seeing that Cheng Yuanzhi was beheaded, all the thieves turned their backs and left.Xuande chased after him with his army. Countless people surrendered, and they returned in a big victory.Liu Yan greeted him personally and rewarded the sergeant.The next day, I received a letter from Gong Jing, the prefect of Qizhou, saying that the Yellow Turban bandits would besiege the city and beg for help.Liu Yan discussed with Xuande.Xuande said, "I am ready to save him."Liu Yan ordered Zou Jing to send five thousand soldiers, together with Xuande, Guan, and Zhang, to the Qizhou.When the thieves saw the arrival of the rescue army, they divided up and fought in melee.Xuande was so outnumbered that he retreated thirty miles to the village.Xuande said to Guan and Zhang: "There are many thieves and I am few. Only by sending out strange soldiers can we win."But Guan Gong led a thousand troops to the left side of the mountain, and Zhang Fei led a thousand troops to the right side of the mountain. Calling Jin⑫ as the number, they all went out to meet them.The next day, Xuande and Zou Jing led the army to march forward with clamor.The thieves fought against each other, and Xuande led the army to retreat.The thieves took advantage of the momentum to catch up and crossed the mountains. Xuande's army slammed gold together, and the left and right armies came out together. Xuande's army turned around and killed again.Attacked from three directions, the thieves were defeated.Going straight to the city of Qizhou, Gong Jing, the prefect, also led the militia out of the city to help.The thieves were defeated and killed a lot, so the siege of Qizhou was relieved.Later generations have poems praising Xuande saying:

There are magical skills in planning and final calculations, and the two tigers are still inferior.You can make great achievements when you first come out, and you should be divided into lonely and poor. After Gong Jing rewarded the army, Zou Jing wanted to go back.Xuande said: "I recently heard that Zhonglang fought Lu Zhi and the thief Shouzhang in Guangzong. In the past, he was a teacher of Lu Zhi and wanted to help him."So Zou Jing led the army back, and Xuande, Guan and Zhang led 500 people from their headquarters to join Guangzong.To Lu Zhi's army, enter the account and salute, with the intention of coming.Lu Zhi was overjoyed and stayed in front of the tent to listen.

At that time, there were 150,000 Zhangjiao thieves and 50,000 Zhibing soldiers. They resisted Guangzong, and there was no victory or defeat.Zhi called Xuande and said, "I'm besieging the thieves here today. The thieves' brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao are in Yingchuan, fighting against Huangfusong and Zhu Jun."You can lead your troops, and I will help you with a thousand officers and troops, go to Yingchuan to inquire about news, and make an appointment to suppress and arrest them.Xuande took the lead and led the army to Yingchuan in the starry night.At that time, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun led the army to resist the bandits, but the bandits were at a disadvantage in the battle, so they retreated into the Changsha and formed a camp according to the grass.Song and Jun said: "The thieves built their camps on the grass, and they should use fire to attack them."So he ordered the sergeants to lay a bunch of grass and lie in ambush.At night, a strong wind suddenly rose.After the second watch, they set fire together, and Song and Jun each led their troops to attack the bandit camp. The flames spread, and the bandits panicked.

Fighting until dawn, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao led the defeated soldiers to flee.Suddenly, I saw a big army horse, flying the red flag, coming to stop the way.A general flashed out as the leader, seven feet long, with thin eyes and long beard; the official worshiped as the captain of cavalry;Cao Song, Cao's father, was originally surnamed Xiahou; because he often served Cao Teng's adopted son, he assumed the surname Cao.Cao Song was born Cao, with a small character Aman, and a name of auspiciousness.When he was young, he loved hunting, singing and dancing; he was resourceful and flexible.Cao had an uncle, who was angry when he saw Cao wandering around, and spoke to Cao Song.Song is responsible.Cao suddenly came up with a plan: when his uncle came, he fell to the ground as if he had suffered a stroke.The uncle told Song in surprise, Song looked at him anxiously, so he was all right.Song said: Uncle said that you had a stroke, has it healed now?Cao said: "My son has never had this disease since he was born; because he lost love with his uncle, he sees his ears."Song believed his words.But Song didn't listen to my uncle's words.Therefore, fuck it with wanton debauchery.At that time, there was a man named Qiao Xuan, who called Cao Cao and said: The world will be chaotic, and the talents of the world will not be able to help.Those who can rest in peace, are they in the king?When He Yong in Nanyang saw Cao Cao, he said: "The Han Dynasty is about to perish, and the one who will bring peace to the world must be this person."Xu Shao from Runan was known as a wise man.Cao went to see it and asked, "how am I like a human being?"Shao didn't answer.Asked again, Shao said: "Your son is a capable minister in governing the world, and a traitor in troubled times."Cao was overjoyed when he heard the words.At the age of 20, Xiaolian was raised as a man, and he was removed from Luoyang Beiduwei.When he first took office, he set up more than ten five-color sticks in the four gates of the county.Anyone who violates the prohibition, who does not avoid luxury, is responsible for it.The uncle of Jian Shuo, who often serves in the middle school, walks at night with a knife, and Cao patrols the night to catch him, and he will be punished with a stick.Therefore, those who dare to commit crimes inside and outside are quite prestigious.Later it was Dunqiu Order.Because of the yellow scarf, he was worshiped as the captain of cavalry, and led five thousand horse infantry to Yingchuan to help in the battle.Just when Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were defeated, Cao Cao stopped them and killed them for a while, beheading more than ten thousand ranks, and captured a lot of flags, golden drums and horses.Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were able to fight to the death.Cao Cao had seen Huangfusong and Zhu Jun, and then led troops to pursue Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao. But when Xuande led the pass and Zhang came to Yingchuan, he heard the cry of killing, and saw the flames burning in the sky, and when he hurriedly led the troops, the thieves had already dispersed.When Xuande saw Huangfusong and Zhu Jun, he said what Lu Zhi meant.Song said: Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao are poor and weak, so they must vote for Guangzong to Yizhangjiao.Xuande can go to the starry night to help.Xuande took the order, so he led his troops back.Halfway there, I saw a group of army horses escorting a sill car. The prisoner in the car was Lu Zhiye.Xuande was shocked, rolled off his horse and asked why.Zhi said: "I surrounded Zhangjiao, and I can break the second time; because of the magic of the horn, I failed to win."The imperial court sent Huangmen ⑯ Zuo Feng to come to inspect me and ask me for a bribe.I replied: The army is still short of rations, and An has enough money to flatter the angel⑰?Zuo Feng complained, and told the court that I was too high to fight, and I was too lazy to fight. Therefore, the court was furious, and sent Zhonglang General Dong Zhuo to take my place and take me back to Beijing for questioning.After Zhang Fei heard this, he was furious and wanted to kill the escorting soldiers to save Lu Zhi.When Xuande stopped urgently, he said: The imperial court has its own opinions, how can you make mistakes⑱?The sergeants surrounded Lu Zhi and went. Guan Gong said: "Lu Zhonglang has been arrested, and others lead the army. I have nowhere to go, so it's better to go back to Zhuojun."Xuande followed his words and led the army northward.After walking for two days, I suddenly heard a loud shout from behind the mountain.Xuande Yinguan and Zhang Zong immediately looked at Gaogang, and saw that the Han army was defeated, and the mountains and fields behind them were covered with yellow scarves.Xuande said: "This Zhangjiao is also!"Quick battle!The three flew out to lead the army.Zhang Jiao was just about to defeat Dong Zhuo, and took advantage of the momentum to rush forward, when suddenly three men rushed to kill him, Jiao's army was in chaos, and they were defeated for more than fifty li.The three rescued Dong Zhuo and returned to the village.Zhuo asked where the three of them lived now.Xuande said: white body ⑲.Zhuo is very light, not polite.When Xuande came out, Zhang Fei said angrily: "I went to the bloody battle and saved this guy⑳, but he is so rude!"If you don't kill him, it's hard to dispel my anger!So he wanted to bring a knife into the account to kill Dong Zhuo.Exactly: human snobbery is still ancient and modern, who knows that a hero is white?Make peace with people like Yide, and punish the heartless people in the world!After all, what is Dong Zhuo's life, let's listen to the breakdown below. ① Imprison good people and prohibit decent people from being officials and engaging in political activities. ② The courtiers of Zhongjuan's attendants refer to eunuchs. ③ Yu here is an explanation for the emperor ascending the palace. ④ Ni and Ni have the same character, here refers to Hong Ni. ⑤ Sisi is an eunuch, a servant; refers to an eunuch. ⑥ Qushuai leader. ⑦ collapsed. ⑧ Sitting in the palace of gold and gold, sitting down, explaining the cause, and explaining the crime here.In the Han Dynasty, the feudal lords paid to the emperor every year as tribute for sacrificial offerings, which was called 酎金.Zuojin lost the Marquis, which means: the marquis was cut off for the crime of failing to pay the gold in accordance with the regulations. ⑨ Ju Xiaolian Local officials recommend to the imperial court people who are filial to their parents and honest, called Ju Xiaolian; it is a system for selecting scholars in the Han Dynasty. ⑩ Hemp shoes. ⑪ Common people of Li Shu. ⑫ Mingjin and gong. ⑬ Jian Wang was wronged. ⑭ In addition to appointing officials. ⑮ Carriage with a fence, used to confine beasts or imprison sinners so that they cannot escape. ⑯ Huangmen’s official signature, set up in the palace, and managing attendants and other things; in the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs were often used as officials such as Huangmen’s servants, so they were also called eunuchs. ⑰ An envoy sent by the angelic emperor. ⑱ The meaning of making a hasty rush is misunderstood here. ⑲ White civilians, people without official positions or fame. ⑳ The humble name of a boy for a man is like a guy or a boy.
