Chapter 40 The dispute between East and West

The two of them slapped their high-highs, and they made a contract.

In such a shameless era in the Han Dynasty, it was absolutely impossible to violate it by betting in such a public eye.

Don’t say you’re gambling about something good wine and knife, or something like that, you’re gambling about your life, and there’s no room for regret.

Otherwise, if it spreads, you will gain a reputation of being untrustworthy and you will never have to mess around in your life and will just die of the community!

The two of them made such an unindifferent bet that immediately angered the others. There was a Sima, a Tiqi under Yuan Pang, who was under Jinwu, who was sneered, and said, "I, the only two of you, dare to go out of the city to fight? My Tiqi also dares!"

As soon as these words were said, Zheng Xiaoming and Sun Jian both looked at each other with strange eyes.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the commander of Jinwu was the military commander who protected the security of the capital. Those who were not absolutely trusted by the emperor were not allowed to do so!

However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of Jinwu had changed a lot. At least Jinwu was no longer responsible for commanding the Northern Army, which means that his subordinates had no military power. That is, when the emperor was traveling, he led the Ti cavalry and infantry to form ceremonial guards and guards.

To put it bluntly, the Tiqi under Jinwu is the royal guard of honor!

Damn, can these honor guards want to run out to fight now?

More importantly, the number of Ti cavalry is only 200! Although the Yellow Turbans broke out last year, the subordinates of the Jinwu family also expanded to a certain extent, and the number of Ti cavalry was expanded to 500. But have these people fought a war?

It’s not that Zheng Xiaoming and Sun Jian look down on others, you are wearing so beautiful clothes for ceremonial wars. But have you ever fought and killed people?

The so-called ti is red and yellow, or orange. The ti cavalry is a cavalry wearing red clothes.

Isn’t it a joke to wear such a sexy bag and go to war?

Seeing the two of them in such a look, the Sima of the Ti cavalry suddenly felt as if they were in a great humiliation and said angrily: "What are you two? Do you really think we can't fight the war with Jinwu?"

Zheng Xiaoming laughed and said to him: "Zhu's surname is Wei, but he is from the Hedong Wei clan?"

Na Weixian sneered: "I am a member of Shangjun, Bingzhou!"

This is not the famous Hedong Wei family in the world!

However, there were quite a lot of people in Guanxi in this army. General Dong Zhuo, the general of the defeated enemy, was from Liangzhou, and General Zhou Shen, was from Liangzhou. Even Huangfu Song, the former general of Zhang Wen, was from Liangzhou.

Now, even Sima, the Tiqi, under Jinwu, is from Bingzhou.

Fortunately, Yuan Pang, the Jinwu, was not from Guanxi, but from Chen, Yuzhou!

It is difficult to explain clearly what the so-called Guanxi refers to. The most mainstream statement of course refers to the west of Hangu Pass.

However, in fact, the problem is not so easy, because a place like Bingzhou (Shanxi in later generations) is also considered to be Guansai.

In Zheng Xiaoming's view, the concept of Guanxi in the Eastern Han Dynasty was basically called Guanxi by the Kanto people in the northwest, as long as the prefectures and counties that were located on the border and between Qiang and Hu, and were basically called Guanxi by the Kanto gentry.

There is a proverb in the Eastern Han Dynasty that the Guandong is related to the generals!

Because various parts of Guanxi have been fighting against Qiang and Hu for many years, the people are strong and famous generals emerge in many places. Not to mention that they have occupied the entire military territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they have at least a great force.

Moreover, the people of Guanxi were quite in a group. At this moment, Wei Xian showed dissatisfaction with Zheng Xiaoming and others, and many officers around him showed a look of unity against the enemy!

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the regional struggle between Kansai and Kanto was quite fierce. The regional darkness of later generations was nothing at this time.

The regional conflicts at this time were very serious... In fact, the regional dispute between Kansai and Kanto lasted for nearly a thousand years, and it was not until the middle and late Tang Dynasty that it disappeared with the rise of Jiangnan, and then turned into a dispute between the north and the south.

In this era before us, the dispute between the East and the West is still very fierce. Or it is not a dispute, because Kanto relies on its comprehensive advantages in economy, culture and politics to suppress the Kansai people!

Therefore, the Kansai people were very united under the strong suppression of the Kanto gentry. If this is not good, they will have to stab the hornet's nest!

Both Zheng Xiaoming and Sun Jian are from Kanto!

Fortunately, Zheng Xiaoming was smart. When he saw that the scene was not good, he immediately laughed: "This is great! He was born in Xia Nanyang Zheng, married a daughter of the Yin family, and he and all the Guanxi brothers are half of his family!"

Some people who knew the key points suddenly relaxed their faces and their hostility towards Zheng Xiaoming suddenly decreased.

Those who didn't know the key points were very clear, and when they saw the changes in their faces around them, they also knew that what Zheng Xiaoming said was not false, and they also reduced a lot of hostility.

On the contrary, Sun Jian was arrogant and angry by the eyes of the people around him. At this time, he sneered: "I have heard of the generals of Guanxi for a long time, so I have long wanted to see him!"

As soon as these words were said, they immediately angered all the Westerners around them and changed their color.

In fact, Sun Jian just said that he was from Jiangdong. Although Jiangdong is also considered a Kanto geographically, it is not the same as the Kanto people who are hated by the Kanto people...

The Kanto people hated by the Kanto people were mainly the Kanto gentry in the Central Plains, Shandong, Hebei, etc.

Jingzhou and Yangzhou are close to the southern prefectures and counties. Except for places like Nanyang County, the rest are still too remote now, with underdeveloped economy and backward culture, and are also the objects of despised by the Kanto gentry.

However, Sun Jian's words angered the Westerners present. The one who is most proud of is the general of Kansai, but you have to question it. This is equivalent to directly provoking the Kansai people!

Although Sun Jian definitely didn't think so much when he spoke, to it bluntly, this guy is just a warrior...

Just look at his resume and you will know that he was born in a powerful family in Jiangdong and got up all the way through military achievements.

Many people mistakenly think that he is both civil and military, which is probably the achievements of the Sun family in Jiangdong in later generations, plus the halo of Romance.

However, in fact, Sun Jian himself is a typical warrior in troubled times! At most, he had some loyalty and righteousness in the early days.

The martial artist is unyielding, and the heavens are dissatisfied. If these Guanxi people want to convince him, they will fight him first before they know!

Wei Xian sneered and said, "It's so great. I'm just about to let you see me as a general in Guanxi. But, I don't know what you bet on with me? It's better to bet on your life. Whoever we loses will commit suicide!"

Sun Jian also sneered, and was about to agree, but Zhang Wen scolded him and shouted: "Nothing nonsense! You are all comrades in the army, serving the Han emperor. It is ridiculous to say that you are gambling about life!

In my opinion, just like Zheng Sima, I will bet a hundred swords with hundreds of swords!"
