Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

During the spring plowing season, on the fertile green soil of Hanoi, a large number of people face the loess and their backs to the sky, either wielding hoes to cultivate rice, or driving cattle to reclaim paddy fields there.

During the Han Dynasty, Hanoi County was extremely rich in water sources, among which the Yellow River, Jishui, Qishui, Huanshui, Qinshui and other rivers flowed through, and there were also dotted springs, lakes and marshes.Thanks to the unique soil conditions, Hanoi County (now Jiaozuo City) is known as Xiaojiangnan, and it is one of the few places in the north where rice can be grown.

In addition, although Liu Xiu raised troops in Hebei, in fact, Liu Xiu used Hanoi County as his base to fight the world.At that time, Kou Xun, the prefect of Hanoi, was like Xiao He in the Western Han Dynasty, providing a large amount of food and supplies for Liu Xiu who was fighting ahead.

Therefore, in the current battle with the Han, although Cao Wei was fighting north and south, they did not dare to excessively transfer the people of Hanoi County as corvee workers. After all, they were also responsible for producing food and grass for the army or handing over to the country.

When the common people were busy plowing the farmland, a Wei army holding a big "Guo" banner passed through the official road in the middle of the farmland.Shan Tao, who was cultivating in the field, stopped what he was doing, and looked thoughtfully at Wei Jun, who was heading south.

"What are you looking at?" Mrs. Han sprinkled water droplets on Shan Tao's face, and said angrily, "Hurry up, your friend Shi Linbo will come home tonight!"

"Ok!"

Shan Tao came to his senses and didn't answer.He just smiled at Han Shi, then waved the farm tools in his hand again, busy with the farming work in hand.

Seeing her husband busy with the farming work, Han began to murmur, "Don't you know the situation at home? My mother is not in good health, and my son has to study poetry and books. The family needs a lot of expenses. I don't know why you still invite Shi Linbo to come to your house for dinner."

Shan Tao immersed himself in farming, and said: "Lin Bo is my good friend, and I have also eaten wine from his family. The two of them are friends, so how can we think about those meals, and these meals are not worth much. As for my son's study, I and Lin Bo can also teach a little."

"Okay!" Mrs. Han was slightly dissatisfied, and said teasingly: "My husband has great ambitions and is full of economics, but he and I, a woman, are farming in the fields. It really is a waste of time."

Although Han was dissatisfied, her tone was not dissatisfied with the poverty of the family, but teased her husband's talent and the mismatch with his status.

"Hehe~"

Hearing this, Shan Tao looked at his wife and said with a smile: "For the time being, Qing endures the hunger and cold for a while. From now on, I will be among the third princes. I wonder if Qing can adapt to the status of the third prince's wife at that time."

Covering her mouth, Han smiled, and said, "You are really a Sangong. I can endure hunger and cold for the rest of my life, but I am afraid that my husband will not be a Sangong."

Shan Tao snorted softly and said, "You will know by then!"

At dusk, Shan Tao led his wife home, and met his friend Shi Jian, and the two had a pleasant talk.Due to the limited housing in the family, Ye Shantao and Shi Jian lived in the same room.

When the stars were twinkling in the sky, Shan Tao, who was sleeping with Shi Jian in the house, really couldn't sleep. He tossed and closed his eyes, all worried about the current situation.

Hearing Shi Jian's snoring, Shan Tao couldn't help kicking Shi Jian, and said, "Don't sleep, when are you still sleeping?"

"Hmm~"

Shi Jian was kicked awake by Shan Tao, hummed a few times, closed his eyes and asked, "What's the matter with Ju Yuan? So much so that it disturbs my sleep."

Shan Tao sat up and said, "Do you know that Guo Huai led the army back to Sili?"

Shi Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "He is the governor of Sizhou, why is it strange that Kunyang has returned to the army after a war?"

Shan Tao sighed, and said: "Guo Huai only went to Hedong for one or two months, but now he leads his army to withdraw to the south. There are many injuries and illnesses under his command, and the morale of the soldiers is low. It means that Hedong has fallen."

Hearing the fall of Hedong, Shi Jian couldn't help but wake up a little bit, and asked: "If Hedong falls, isn't there going to be war in Hanoi?"

Seeing that Shi Jian still hadn't noticed the point, Shan Tao said helplessly, "Brother Lin, why don't you know it? Although the world is divided into Han, Wei, and Wu today, Eastern Wu is a vassal of the Han, so it is actually Han, Wei, and Wu. The two divisions of the Wei Dynasty competed for the world. The Ming emperor of the Han Dynasty ruled the world, the virtuous and good generals assisted, the officials were clear, and the soldiers worked; but the young master of the Wei Dynasty ascended the throne, and the fatuous officials ruled. The officials were unclear, and they were defeated by the Han people."

"Hedong is a land of wealth and prosperity. Jinyang is controlled from the top, and the Shangdang is controlled from the east. If the Great Wei loses the Shangdang, the Great Han will be able to look down on Hebei, condescending, and it will be so easy to destroy Wei. The general trend of the world is now clear, and the one who will rule the world , not for the Wei people, but for the Emperor of Han."

Shi Jian, who was in a coma just now, had already sat up and asked, "What is the meaning of Juyuan's words?"

Shan Tao looked at Shi Jian through the dark night and said, "I'm going to surrender to the Han! If you live in Hanoi, you should run between horseshoes!"

"Touhan?"

Shan Tao heard Shi Jian's astonishment, and said: "When the Emperor of Han was first established, he was handsome, and entrusted Zhuge Liang with important affairs. It should be like the ancient sages. After Zhuge Liang became seriously ill, the military and government were all under the control of Emperor Han. He conquered Jingchu in the south, and went east to Hedong, and he achieved success. He is tireless in his love of talents, and he is strict in punishing and rewarding. This is not a unified king. Who can do it? Cao Shuang and Sima Yi can't stop it!"

Shantao, whose character is Juyuan, was born in Huai County, Hedong.His family was not a big family, and his father was only an official to the county magistrate of Wanju County.His father died of illness in his early years, and his family has been in decline since then. He has been outstanding since he was a teenager, but he lives in seclusion in the countryside and farms in the fields to cover up his ambition and talent.Of course, he was also restricted by Cao Wei's nine-rank official system, so he did not become an official.

In the past, he was not in a hurry. He lived in Hedong, relying on the advantage of being close to the political center in Hedong, he observed the general trend of the world and learned more about world governance.

But now he is 38 years old. Up to now, he has a whole body of talents, but he has failed in his career. His wife and mother have endured cold and starvation with him for many years, so he is quite eager to make contributions.

After observing for a long time, he confirmed that Hedong belonged to the Han Dynasty and Cao Shuang defeated Jingzhou. He really believed that the one who could unify the world was none other than Liu Chan.He who is sure of the Ming Lord must now make an attack to have the opportunity to show his talents and live up to his own talents and learning, as well as his family.

Shi Jian nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "I'm voting for a big man, I wonder if His Majesty can pull me out?"

Shi Jian's character is Lin Bo, and Leling is tired of Ci people.He also came from a poor background. Although he has great ambitions like Shan Tao, he values ​​fame and wealth more than Shan Tao who can live in poverty.He is short-sighted than Shan Tao in the general direction, and he is not as good as Shan Tao in terms of military skills.

Shan Tao nodded slightly, and said quite firmly: "The emperor of the great Han Dynasty is a corporal, and he is in Hedong today. The war is at the beginning of peace. If we can go there, we will show our talents. When the emperor is free, he will meet him, and he will go to the sage to listen and act. Right on policy.”

Of course, Shan Tao didn't say one more thing, that is, in the situation of Chu'an in Hedong, if he met Cao Wei's family and defected to him, Liu Chan would be very happy. It is easy to reward higher official positions.

If you wait until the war is over before going, and the big man is busy with moving the capital, how can Liu Chan have time to talk to these unknown scholars.Even if they agree, they will consider all aspects of the situation, and there is a high probability that they will not bestow high-ranking officials.That's why, as a person who aspires to become a Sangong, Shan Tao is not only involved in military affairs, but also has a precise grasp of the timing of the situation.

"When will you go to Hedong and join the emperor!" Shi Jian asked.

Shan Tao pondered for a while, and said: "The day after tomorrow, a certain person borrowed a boat, carried his family inside, and went up the river against the river, and went to Zhemenxing, in order to enter the territory of Dahan. I wonder if Mr. Shi is willing to go to the east of the river with Tao?"

Shi Jian gritted his teeth, thinking of the riches and honors who went to the big man, and said: "I have a deep relationship with the tiger. How can I not go when the tiger goes to Han. Tomorrow I will also borrow a boat from someone, and we will go to Hedong together the next day."

Seeing that Shi Jian decided to go with him, Shan Tao was overjoyed, and said, "I am not alone if Mr. Shi goes with me!"

Shi Jian cupped his hands slightly, and replied: "If there is no tiger, in the future, Jian may live in battle, and we don't know where the wealth is!"

"Don't dare!"
