The sixth year of Zhongping, 189 AD.
Jizhou, Changshan State.
It was the golden autumn season, and the sun was high in the sky. The fields were bustling with activity.
The cicadas lying on the tree were chirping happily.
In the fields, children with drooping hair were playing the game of playing the general with their friends.
It was just that the farm dogs hiding under the trees were forced to flee in all directions by the " thieves " that they regarded as the general's encirclement.
On the high hill, the young man and the old man sat opposite each other.
"Master, how good would it be if there was no war in this world!”
"Unfortunately, this world never lacks ambitious people!”
" First, it was the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago. Then, it was the current Dong Zhuo who poisoned Luoyang and caused chaos in the palace. Perhaps, these children who were riding bamboo horses and playing around might not grow up healthily…"
"They will be forced to take their weapons to the battlefield and die in a foreign land.”
"I really hope that this chaotic world will end soon!”
Gazing at the devilish children who had captured the farm dogs and "wantonly ravaged" them, Gong Sun Mu's eyes revealed a sense of helplessness that came from being in a chaotic world.
Opposite him.
Tong Yuan, who had a grimace on his face, was surprised when he heard his eldest disciple Gongsun Mu's words.
"Jing Lue, it seems that you are planning to go down the mountain to be an official?”
Tong Yuan couldn't help but feel surprised.
Because before this, he had also suggested that Gongsun Mu, who had already finished his apprenticeship with him, go down the mountain to find his master and display what he had learned.
In the end, he was blocked by his eldest disciple, who said," It's not the right time yet. It's not the right time yet."
During this time, his second disciple Zhang Ren and third disciple Zhang Xiu had already finished their studies and left the mountain.
His youngest disciple, Zilong, was about to finish his apprenticeship, but his eldest disciple was still "staying" at his place.
As if he didn't feel the resentment in his master's tone, Gong Sun Mu sighed and replied,""Yeah, it's time to be an official!"
"Dong Zhuo has caused the people of the world to be filled with resentment. It won't be long before the various provinces and counties will definitely raise their troops against him.”
"If I don't become an official now, it will be difficult to encounter such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the future!”
As he said this, Gongsun Mu looked south at Chen Liu.
As a transmigrator, he knew better than anyone else.
In at most half a month, Cao Cao's feat of assassinating Dong Zhuo would be known throughout the world.
At that moment.
Cao Cao would send out a letter of denunciation in Chenliu, calling for all the vassals to attack Dong Zhuo and return to the capital to help the king.
It was also at that time that the dukedoms participating in the alliance welcomed a rapid increase in strength in a short period of time, recruiting celebrities and good generals to build their initial team to dominate the world.
And that group of people would become the veterans of their respective factions, occupying an important position in the camp.
It would not be easy to shake or replace the talents who had joined later.
"Who are you going to be an official for?"
"If you want to become an official with the Bo Hai Prefecture Governor Yuan Shao, who had shouted at Dong Zhuo not long ago in the imperial court, your master can use your master's wife's relationship to get the Yan Clan of Hebei to recommend you to Yuan Shao!”
Tong Yuan kindly recommended Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai City.
While the master and disciple were talking, a handsome young man who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old with a spear on his back returned from the open space not far away.
The youth did not open his mouth to interrupt the conversation between the two. Instead, he came to sit beside the two and placed his spear on his knees as if he was listening.
Gong Sun Mu nodded at the young man before turning to his master, Tong Yuan.
"Master, Yuan Shao of the Bohai Sea is indeed a hero!”
"But!"
"But he is not a wise ruler!"
"Although Mu has never met him before, I heard that this bastard son of the Yuan family, who was born into four generations and three dukes, usually makes friends with the elites of the prominent families.”
"My surname is Gongsun, but I have nothing to do with the Gongsun family of Liaodong. I am a commoner from the bottom of my heart. If I join him…"
Thinking back to the history of Yuan Shao's power, Gongsun Mu shook his head lightly.
"Yuan Benchu will use me, but he will definitely not put me in an important position!”
"What!"
"It's not impossible for me to get killed because of this!”
In history, Yuan Shao used the power of the aristocratic families to become the overlord of the north, and it was destined that his subordinates did not have the soil for the survival of the poor and commoners.
Gong Sun Mu's words silenced Tong Yuan.
Although he had always known that his eldest disciple could not stand the actions of the aristocratic families, he did not expect her to have such a deep prejudice.
"Where's Jizhou Mu Han Fu?"
"It has nine counties (countries) under its rule, and its people are prosperous.”
"I have never heard of any famous officials or good generals under him. With your ability, Jing Lue, you will definitely be able to show off your skills!”
Master Tong Yuan said another name.
Han Fu?!"
Gongsun Mu glanced at his master Tong Yuan and said softly,""Master, it's not that Han Fu and Han Wenjie don't have talents under them, but they can't be used well!”
"Shen Pei, Tian Feng, and Ju Shou are all geniuses of the current era. Qu Yi and Zhang He are even more talented generals who can command the three armies!”
"The funny thing is!"
"In front of these people, Han Fu placed the most importance on the so-called General Pan Feng!”
"Master, just watch!"
"Han Fu, who can't make good use of his subordinates, will sooner or later lose the land of Jizhou to Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai Sea under his rule.!!”
Gong Sun Mu's words left Tong Yuan speechless.
He was the governor of a province, but his disciple had said that he was useless.
On the contrary, the handsome young man's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at his eldest senior brother with admiration.
Noticing his junior brother's reaction, Gong Sun Mu smiled.
Naturally, he wasn't saying this for no reason. He was specifically saying it for his junior brother, Zhao Yun.
After all.
Master Tong Yuan was already over sixty years old, and there was no possibility of him becoming an official and assisting a wise ruler.
On the other hand, his junior brother, Zhao Zilong, who was one of the Five Tiger Generals in history, was about to finish his studies.
Compared to Zhao Yun in his previous life who had gone to Gongsun Zan and wasted several years, Gongsun Mu felt that it was better to let him go down the mountain with him and go to the wise lord he thought.
The reason why he "stayed" by his master Tong Yuan's side was partly because he was waiting for his junior brother to come out of seclusion.
Unfortunately, Zhao Yun, who was still a " newbie ", had no idea that his eldest senior brother was eyeing him.
And his master, Tong Yuan, was still unwilling to give up and recommended to his disciple what he thought was a wise ruler in troubled times.
"How about Liu Yu, the Mu of Youzhou?"
"He has a good reputation, and the people praise him for his benevolence. The foreign races outside the Great Wall also respect him and are unwilling to easily invade the border!”
Gong Sun Mu's answer to Liu Yu was concise and sonorous.
"The Great Han Dynasty is founded on martial arts, so why should the Outsiders respect it?!”
"If they dare to invade the border, do they really think that my Han clan's cavalry is at a disadvantage?”
