Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In mid-December of the second year of Taiping, general Yang Feng of Zhenbei, Li Ru, the pastor of Bingzhou, Zhong Yao, the governor of Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan, the general of Liao Dynasty, rushed to Tanhan Mountain to participate in the event together with Wang Huaitou and Wang Xiangqueju of Xianbei.  Meeting.  :3w.

    The meeting address is in the temple, under the statue of the god with a mysterious smile.

    Also attending the meeting was Zhi Qian, a Buddhist master known as the Prairie Living Buddha.

    When Zhi Qian entered, Liu Bian, who was pacing in front of the statue with his hands behind his back, quickly stepped forward and clasped his palms together in salute.

    "Well, Master."

    Zhi Qian quickly returned the gift.  "People from outside the country, please pay homage to the Buddha on earth."

    "Master, you are too polite to argue."

    Zhi Qian didn't say much, turned around and bowed to Yang Feng and saluted: "I have seen Dharma Protector Jialan."

    Yang Feng did not dare to neglect and quickly returned the courtesy.  He realized his destiny and broke through the realm, and he had already joined the ranks of god-level generals like Lu Bu, Guan Yu and others. Coupled with the recent Western Expedition, he was naturally included in the scope of the protector Jialan God by Zhi Qian.  In the secular world, he is Liu Bian's minister. In the Buddhist world, he is the protector of Liu Bian, the human Buddha.

    All of this was given to him by Liu Bian, and his gratitude to Liu Bian goes without saying.

    Gongsun Zan looked at it and his eyes were a little hot.  He and Yang Feng realized their destiny around the same time, but after realizing it, he made little progress. However, Yang Feng broke through again in less than a year, and made great military exploits, becoming a respected protector on the grassland.  God Jialan can enjoy the incense in the world, which is really enviable.

    Liu Bian saw Gongsun Zan¡¯s expression in his eyes, but said nothing.  Yang Feng had accumulated a lot of experience and had been practicing for many years before realizing his destiny.  It's just that I couldn't pierce the window paper with my own strength. Once I realized my destiny, the hard work I had done before saw the results.  Gongsun Zan was different. He was a monkey who couldn't sit still. Although he was forced to realize his destiny in the temple and crossed the threshold, once he returned to the military camp, he probably had no intention of sitting down and meditating.

    When practicing this kind of thing, you still have to rely on yourself most of the time. He can't calm down by himself.  There is nothing anyone else can do.

    Huaitou and Que Ju exchanged a look.  Nothing can be done.  Liu Bian was very clever, with a butcher's knife in one hand and Buddhist teachings in the other, and he controlled the grassland obediently.  Even if they have any ideas now.  Don't dare to act rashly.  Not to mention Yang Feng, Gongsun Zan and others are eyeing him.  The herdsmen on the grasslands may not be willing to listen to them.  After becoming attached to the Han people, there was no need to fight anymore, and there was no more fighting between them.  They can live a peaceful life.  The opening of Hu City has also made up for the losses caused by the lack of loot and will not cause the herdsmen's living standards to drop.

    Of course, Liu Bian is not a real human Buddha. He turned the grassland into his horse breeding land and monopolized the war horse resources.  The imperial court arranges full-time personnel to uniformly purchase high-quality war horses. Each tribe can only keep a certain number of war horses. The excess must be sold, otherwise it will be tantamount to rebellion, and Yang Feng and others will soon come to kill them.  The elites of each tribe were also gathered together and were uniformly trained and commanded by generals dispatched by the imperial court. The number of troops each tribe could control was very limited and could only prevent theft, but was not enough to launch a war.

    The basis for doing this is Buddhism.  Buddhism turned Liu Bian into their human Buddha, turned Liu Bian's kindness and wisdom into the gift of the human Buddha, and turned Liu Bian's anger into the anger of the human Buddha. It was not only material and physiological control, but also  Psychological control.

    They did not expect that Buddhism would bring such serious consequences. Now that they have woken up, they are unable to struggle and can only be at the mercy of Liu Bian.

    "There is peace on the grassland, but there is no peace in Shandong. I can't favor one over the other, so I have to leave the grassland temporarily and return to the Central Plains." Liu Bian spoke unhurriedly.  "The stability of the Central Plains is also a good thing for the grasslands. After all, the grasslands still rely on the Central Plains for supplies. The Central Plains are like internal organs, and the grasslands are like skin and flesh. Only when the inner Qi is full can the skin and flesh be strong. Don't you think so?"

    Huaitou and Queju quickly bowed and saluted.  "What your Majesty said is true."

    "The grassland is difficult, but it is also a good place for practice. The Central Plains is rich, but it is also a place where flowers are charming. I like to stay in Danhan Mountain for this reason. Mencius said, live in sorrow and die in happiness. And  It is said that when heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his skin, and deplete his body before he can gain what he cannot do. Although the grassland is bitter, it is the most tempering place for people.  If you can stay at ease here and maintain your mind, you will become a great person in the future.¡±

    Yang Feng and others were overjoyed after hearing this.  Liu Bian's words were not empty words. He was promising them that guarding the grassland would be of great use in the future, and the hardships of these years would not be in vain.  He specifically said these words in front of the statue, which shows his solemnity.

    "I will obey the Holy Instructions."

    "Bogui, if you want to capture Jizhou, Youzhou is an important part. Have you made preparations?"

    Gongsun Zan clasped his fists and saluted: "Your MajestyDon't worry, after the Battle of Yishui, I have learned from the pain. With the help of Zhong Jun, I have made up for my losses and can fight again at any time to avenge my previous shame.  "

    Liu Bian smiled.  In the Battle of Yishui, Gongsun Zan was trapped by Yuan Shao and almost lost in the battle, which was a big irritation to him.  If not for this failure, Zhong Yao might have been ostracized by General White Horse when he entered Youzhou.  Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and this is a clear proof.  Compared to Liu Yu, Zhong Yao is obviously more capable.

    "Winning or losing is a common thing for soldiers. Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is not knowing how to learn from failure. Have you really learned from the painful experience? It is useless to say it, and you have to prove it with this action. Youzhou's  In the war, Yuan Chang is the main one and you are the assistant. Is there any problem? "

    Although Gongsun Zan was a little regretful, he had nothing to say. Who made him lose the battle before?

    "It's just what your Majesty said."

    Liu Bian turned to look at Zhong Yao.  "Yuan Chang, Bogui is a fierce horse. If you use it well, it will be the backbone of the country. If you use it poorly, it will be a disaster. I hope you can coexist with him safely and help each other in the same boat. In the future, I will rely on you two more for Eastern affairs.  ¡±

    Zhong Yao calmly bowed and accepted the order, but his heart was surging.  He did not become Jiuqing, but came to Youzhou to be the governor. He also took the initiative to write to Liu Bian and asked Liu Bian to personally preside over the war against the rebellion, just to make contributions.  He knew very well that although Liu Bian was not warlike, he valued military exploits and criticized Confucianism. It was unlikely that he would become a prince based on Confucianism as before.  Only military exploits can truly revitalize the Zhong family.

    Gongsun Zan was also very happy.  Liu Bian praised him as a fierce horse, which was not only a warning to him, but also an appreciation for him.  What's more important is that Liu Bian talked about Eastern affairs. It seems that the suppression of the Yuan family's rebellion is not the end. There will be more battles to be fought in the future.  There was a battle to fight, and Gongsun Zan immediately felt much better.

    "Qizhi, to pacify Jizhou, of course, the army of Bingzhou is indispensable. However, to deal with a clown like Yuan Shao, we don't need to use the cavalry on the grassland. I have other great uses for such sharp blades. Pay more attention to the affairs of the Western Regions, and don't let them  He Lian and others can take advantage of any opportunity."

    Yang Feng was mentally prepared and responded loudly.

    Liu Bian arranged everyone's tasks one by one, and finally held a banquet and gave wine, and the monarch and his ministers left happily.

    Two days later, Liu Bian led a thousand dragon riders and embarked on the return journey.

    ¡­¡­

    At the end of December, Liu Bian returned to Luoyang.

    King Chenliu, who had received the news long ago, came from Chang'an, crossed the Yellow River in person, and rushed to the north bank of Mengjin to meet Liu Bian.

    Seeing Liu Xie again, Liu Bian felt very complicated.

    He himself has no interest in the throne. Even if he can't go back to his time, he still feels that being a living god is more comfortable than being an emperor. When he has no worries about food and clothing and no one can threaten him, the intrigues of the palace are not what he wants.  want life.  If Liu Xie is qualified, he is very willing to give up the throne to Liu Xie.

    But Liu Xie is obviously not very qualified.

    To be fair, it is not easy for the eleven-year-old Liu Xie to achieve this step.  If it were an ordinary family, he might be very proud, but the problem is that the Liu family is not an ordinary family, and what he wants to hand over to Liu Xie is not just a simple family fortune, but the world.

    He can not miss the throne and want to return to his previous generation, but he cannot just watch history return to its original trajectory.  Coming from two thousand years later, he knew that this history was full of twists and turns and humiliation.  If he doesn't change now that he has the opportunity, he will regret it for the rest of his life, and he won't be able to feel at ease even if he goes back.  He wanted to reverse this trajectory and make Liu Xie the wise king who would carry forward the past and open up the future, but Liu Xie couldn't do it.

    Liu Xie is very smart, but just being smart is not enough.  Isn't Han Huan Emperor Liu Zhi smart, and Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong is not smart? They both ascended the throne at a young age. They were isolated and helpless in the face of powerful foreign relatives, but they were able to regain power in the end, which shows how smart they were.  But what can he do if he is smart? Huan Ling has become synonymous with mediocrity.

    He hopes that Liu Xie will not only be smart, but also powerful, with not only shrewd methods, but also superior insight.  Only in this way can he become a true king of ZTE and create a new era.  At this point, Liu Xie is actually better qualified than him, because Liu Xie was originally from this era, his knowledge is much better than him, and his relationship with the courtiers is also more harmonious.  In contrast, although he has tyrannical strength, he is very weak politically, and his conflicts with the Confucian sect are greater than his cooperation.

    It¡¯s a pity that Liu Xie failed to achieve his hopes.

    Liu Xie's knowledge made him proficient in the emperor's mind, but it failed to improve his vision.  If this situation continues, he may be able to become a shrewd emperor, but it is impossible for him to become a truly wise king, let alone change the trajectory of history.

    Therefore, he can only do it himself.

    ¡°Ah Xie, I haven¡¯t seen you for a year., you are taller and thinner.  "

    Liu Xie lowered his head and said with shame: "My brother is incompetent. He failed to fulfill the emperor's entrustment. He even failed to save the Gun-cutting Wu sword."

    "Have you ever thought about why you can't keep it?"

    Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, feeling a little uneasy.  His preemptive apology was just a gesture, but Liu Bian took advantage of the situation and held on to him. Was he preparing to plead guilty in front of the courtiers?  This may not be too impatient.

    "My brother I am of low level and cannot bear the great responsibility."

    "My realm is low, so what should I do?"

    "My younger brother is willing to learn from my royal brother, devote myself to practice, and strive to break through the realm as soon as possible, regain the Gun-Shaping Wu Sword, and atone for my sins."

    Liu Bian nodded.  "If you can think of it this way, then the loss of the Gun Wu Dao is not a bad thing. It's a blessing in disguise. The ancients are honest and can't be deceived." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
