Chapter 1067 The Black Curtain
The Han Dynasty has been basically extravagant and decadent since Emperor Heng, and has been quiet for a long time. Those once shining figures seem to have gone far away, and only some mediocre people are left, waiting to die. Not to mention the famous ministers and generals when the Han Dynasty was founded, just those bright pearls such as Ban Chao and Wei Qing, it seems that He has no connection with the Han Dynasty anymore. Whether he was a strong general or a wise minister, there is no trace of him until now.
The glory of the Three Kingdoms is more like the reflection of the Han Empire. It is like all the remaining potential and heritage in life burst out in just a few decades, and then fell into incomparable darkness.
However, at this stage, during a long period of drought, Fei Qian's current rise to fame is so eye-catching.
Because during the period of Emperor Heng and Emperor Ling, there were still some wars due to the ups and downs of rebellions among the Xiliang Qiang people, so there were still a few generals who had experienced battles, such as Dong Zhuo, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, etc. wait. Although Lu Zhi is not bad, he was actually a great Confucian and was considered a part-timer.
But now, Dong Zhuo is dead, Huangfu Song is dead, Zhu Jun died of illness, and Lu Zhi also passed away two years ago. All the older generation of generals have left the Han Dynasty, and some of the remaining generals have been retired. There is no bravery and no ability. They only know how to boast and be complacent, but in fact they can’t do anything. They know neither military affairs nor governance; some are very partial to science and may be able to stand alone on the battlefield, but Once in the court, he will be fooled around.
During the Ling Emperor's period, among the civil servants, Yuan Wei and Yang Biao were undoubtedly the top figures, but now Yuan Wei has also passed away. Although Yang Biao is good now, it seems that apart from court affairs, the party has no ability to seize power. In addition to being extremely proficient, it seems that there are some deficiencies in other aspects.
In the nearly two hundred years from the time of Emperor Guangwu to the present, a group of eloquent Confucian disciples have been raised. They are used to the luxurious life of wealth and prosperity, to the political status of five people and six people who are superior to others, and to using the words of saints at every turn. The group of people who stood akimbo to help him were accustomed to the ubiquitous smell of decay and the increasingly stiff body, but now they suddenly saw such a lively and vital army.
An army led by General Han Zhengxi.
An army with superb riding skills and well-equipped equipment, and every soldier looks so strong and strong.
An army appeared with a tough attitude and wiped out Yang Biao's troops like a grandson.
If we had placed this matter more than ten years ago, or a few years ago, we would have never dared to imagine it! At that time, Yuan Wei and Yang Biao represented the noble clans all over the world and were the objects of worship and admiration by everyone. There was no room for any blasphemy. Not to mention that it was Fei Qian who led the troops to defeat Yang Biao's men, even in words. If there is a little bit of disrespect, I am afraid that many people will jump out and spontaneously destroy Feiqian's humanity until there is no trace left...
But now, the soldiers were silent and the officials were silent, watching helplessly as Yang Biao was blocked by Fei Qian in the corner, but it was as if he couldn't hear or see him at all.
Yang Biao was also in extreme embarrassment at the moment.
If you stop it, you can't stop it, and you can't find any excuse; if you don't stop it, who knows what tricks will be revealed when they meet...
After pondering for a moment, Yang Biao finally pulled his face, forced a smile, and said: "General Zhengxi wants to see His Majesty, how can I stop him? However, it is difficult to travel in the mountains, so it is better to invite Your Majesty to the foot of the mountain. For your convenience...here, please get out of the way and please come down from the mountain!"
Yang Biao didn't wait for Fei Qian to answer, so he shouted to himself: "Dear ministers, Your Majesty is in front, please go with me to see you!" After saying that, he got off his horse, surrounded by guards, He straightened his clothes, smoothed his robes, and put on a serious look.
Fei Qian narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly. Yang Biao did this strategy of turning against guests once in Pingyang. Does he want to repeat the same trick here?
Yes, Fei Qian's soldiers and horses are indeed powerful. He can't stop him even if he wants to, and he can't win if he fights. So Yang Biao simply gave in, but it doesn't mean that Yang Biao also raised his hand in other aspects. surrender.
It's the same meeting with His Majesty, but there are differences.
Yang Biao dismounted, straightened his clothes, and then walked to the front of the mountain to meet Liu Xie. The officials who were brought here by Yang Biao, under such circumstances, would put aside their personal emotions and etiquette anyway. The superiors always have to be in place, so they will naturally follow Yang Biao to greet His Majesty...
In this way, Yang Biao temporarily abandoned the oppressive force brought by Fei Qian's soldiers through such a move, and instead used the articles written by his hundreds of officials to create an impact on Fei Qian in terms of the number of officials. absolute advantage.
On one side was Yang Biao with a large number of officials, and on the other side were Fei Qian's few isolated generals and soldiers. No matter who they were, under such circumstances, they would subconsciously move closer to Yang Biao. Taking a step back, even if Liu Xie is hesitant, the advantage in the number of officials in a small area can still suppress the lone General Zhengxi like Fei Qian.
Even with the addition of Zhong Shao, the number of people on Fei Qian's side must still be pitifully small. Once Yang Biao's move creates a psychological advantage for His Majesty, it will be enough to offset the impact of these soldiers brought by Fei Qian. .
Just like a normal court meeting, with Yang Biao as the leader, all the officials stood in line behind Yang Biao skillfully and subconsciously. Then they arranged their clothes one by one and waited for Liu Xie's arrival with solemn expressions.
How interesting.
Fei Qian lowered his eyelids, thought for a moment, then smiled slightly, waved to a guard beside him, gave instructions in a low voice, and then walked forward with some personal guards.
Zhong Shao was also very upset at this time, his thinking was a little confused, and he couldn't think of any solution for a while. It's no wonder that Zhong Shao is getting older after all. He stayed up late for the past two days without rest, traveled long distances and had ups and downs. The huge emotional changes caused the body to be overburdened for a while and the brain was not supplied with nutrients. So even though Subconsciously I noticed something was wrong, but I couldn't do anything for a while.
All three parties gathered.
Yang Biao led hundreds of officials, and Wu Yangyang's gang was on the left; Fei Qian was on the right with several guards; soldiers and horses from both sides were on the outside, facing each other more than a hundred steps apart; and Zhong Shao accompanied Liu Xie from Walking down the mountain step by step.
The scene was extremely weird.
It has to be said that the Han Dynasty still inherited part of the etiquette from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. One second they were fighting life and death, and the next second they could live in peace. This was not only shown between Fei Qian and Yang Biao, in this On China's big battlefield, it is still the mainstream.
Of course, the opposite is also true. It has happened that we were allies one moment, but may show the knife the next moment. However, such an approach will inevitably be criticized by others, and the rumblings may not dissipate easily for decades. .
Just like Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, the two were fighting fiercely, falling in love and killing each other, but the imperial court sent an envoy to make an appointment to sit down and chat. In the end, both sides really stopped fighting, and the previous casualties were reset to zero. Everything returns to its original position...
At this time, Emperor Han's reputation was still a little bit low.
At this time, the political environment of the entire Han Dynasty was gradually showing the apocalyptic atmosphere. Looking around, among the hundreds of officials at the moment, there was not a single one who could make people shine. Even just now, he was trying to make trouble with Yang Biao. Dong Cheng now seems to be obeying the rules and standing obediently in the queue. This can not but be said to be a kind of irony.
Liu Xie and his entourage gradually walked down the mountain. When Yang Biao saw this, he coughed lightly and was about to lead the officials to greet him. He inadvertently glanced at Fei Qian with his eyes, and the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched, and his body He also stiffened.
Any experienced person will subconsciously choose the battlefield that is most suitable for him, drag his opponent to a battlefield he is familiar with, and then use his rich experience on this battlefield to overwhelm and defeat his opponent. This strategy, whether it is for smart people It is equally applicable to extreme people and stupid people.
Yang Biao was naturally not as good as Fei Qian in the military formation, and he knew this, but on another battlefield belonging to the court, Yang Biao had not been afraid of anyone, but...
Wait, what is this Fei Zhengxi doing?
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Yang Biao saw two or three guards walking out from behind Fei Qian, each holding a few rolls of towels. Then he walked a few steps, bent down, and put the towels in his hands. It was spread on the ground and rolled along the road...
What is this?
No, no, what does this mean?
oops……
Following the movements of several Fei Qian's guards, a long road paved with silk stretched forward from in front of Fei Qian, all the way to Liu Xie's feet.
this……
broken!
Why didn't I think of this!
But in this wilderness, why could this damn Zhengxi Feiqian come up with this trick!
Yang Biao was stunned. He glanced at the road paved with towels, and then turned to look at Fei Qian on the other side of the road. He saw the unknown smile on Fei Qian's face.
The Han Dynasty experienced three different Zhengshuo, and also changed from the water virtue to the earth virtue in the cycle of five virtues, and later turned into the fire virtue. Correspondingly, the colors advocated by the Han Dynasty also experienced from black to yellow. Then it went to the process of red. However, the change of Zhengshuo did not make the previous color disappear. As time went by, the three colors became popular in the Han Dynasty and were generally accepted by the Han people. Therefore, the three colors of black, yellow, and red are also the colors accepted and used by the people of the Han Dynasty.
When marching and fighting, naturally the army always has curtains, especially for Fei Qian's guards. This curtain is definitely an indispensable item. Whenever you arrive at a place, if you are setting up a temporary camp and do not need to set up a tent camp, then you can take some wooden sticks and pull up the long curtains to support Fei Qian in a separate space, whether for discussion or rest. All are very convenient.
So when Fei Qian gave the order, the soldiers immediately took the curtain from behind and spread it on the road, immediately forming a black passage.
Unfortunately, it's not red.
Fei Qianba slapped his mouth twice. Because of the relationship between marching and fighting, black, which is close to black, is more resistant to stains, and it can block the sun better than other colors. At the same time, it is not as strong as red or yellow. It is conspicuous and attracts people's attention, so under normal circumstances, it is mainly worn with black curtains and scarves.
But it is enough to deal with people like Yang Biao who have never seen any red carpet...
Fei Qian tilted his head slightly and whispered a few instructions to Huang Xu. Huang Xu nodded, raised his head and chest, stepped forward and stood at the end of the black road, and then shouted loudly Said: "Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty, has civilized martial arts, benevolent and wise, and has benefited the common people for thousands of generations. Long live, long live, long live!"
Then the rest of the Fei Qian soldiers also started chanting. Although they had not been trained in advance, they gradually became more organized after shouting several times...
Well, that's about it.
Fei Qian looked at the stunned Yang Biao and Baiguan group on the other side, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pure prank in his heart. Anyway, these words seemed to be quite appropriate here.
When Liu Xie walked down the mountain, he saw the black curtain in front of him, and then heard such shouts. Naturally, all his attention was attracted to Fei Qian's side, and he was a little tensed at first. The little face that looked as solemn and steady as possible couldn't help but burst out in an instant, showing a thick smile, and stepped onto the black road that had just been paved.
It’s over…
Seeing Liu Xie taking such a step, Yang Biao couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.
Shameless!
I have never seen such a shameless person!
Yang Biao gritted his teeth, still hesitating in his heart. When he was thinking about how to deal with it, there were some Han officials behind him. The leader was Dong Cheng. They had already begun to take action, voting with their feet, left the queue, and walked towards Feiqian's side...
After all, Emperor Liu Xie has already gone to that side, so what kind of audience is staying here considered?
No!
We can't just give up, there is still hope!
Yang Biao strode forward, helplessly moving closer to Fei Qian's side. Following his actions, most of the officials had no choice but to rush over with their newly arranged robes...
Fei Qian took a few steps forward, ignoring Yang Biao and others who were coming, and bowed directly to Liu Xie. He shouted: "My lord, Fei Qian, see your majesty, long live your majesty!"
Suddenly, all the soldiers around Fei Qian also bowed down and shouted long live.
Yang Biao and others who came in a hurry had no time to sort out the queue. They could only follow Fei Qian's beat, quickly bow down and shout in unison. For a moment, the sound of "Long Live the Mountain" shook the whole place.
Fei Qian bowed his head and saluted, but his heart moved slightly. These soldiers and Han people in the surrounding area may not only be paying homage to the emperor, but may also be paying homage to the inheritance of China since the Zhou Dynasty...
