第一章 桃阳里(1 / 2)

季汉彰武 陈瑞聪 1774 字 2022-04-21

光和二年,已是当今天子即位的第十一个年头。昔日先帝殡天之时,大将军窦武、太傅陈蕃、司徒胡广,都以为天子英断刚特,聪慧明理,于是力排众议,从宗室支庶中迎取天子即位,不可谓不寄予厚望。

谁能想到十年之后,世殊日异,昔日以为能澄清玉宇的明主,竟公然在西园开置邸舍卖官鬻爵。二千石官卖二千万钱,四百石官卖四百万钱,不试秀才,不闻风评,国之重器,委于群小之手,加上近年来对党人的禁锢迟迟不见解除,国内乱象实在令忠直之士痛心疾首。

但这些事情基本与幽州无关,一则幽州学风不盛,朝中党人寥寥无几,几无党人可锢。二则鲜卑日渐壮大,首领檀石槐立王庭于弹汗山,励精图治,枕戈待旦,北拒丁零,东退扶余,西攻乌孙,十余年间,竟使冒顿单于伟业复现。幽州因此岁岁入寇,苦不堪言,只得全力备战。

此时正是晚春,天气和熙暖人,一群身着长袴的青少年正打马行在涿县到良乡的官道上,路出涿县数十里,便分出两条,一条路跨过桃水、垣水、圣水,随后一马平川,直至蓟城,但他们走的是另一条,沿着桃水南岸一路向西,直到巨马水、涞水、桃水交界处,然后向南延申直至五阮关。

桃水景如其名,岸边桃林如浪,又正逢春风沉醉,花瓣上下纷飞,恰似下了场不合时宜的春雪,芳香盈动,令行者心旷神怡。少年们纵骑驰骋,紧跟在后的,还有十来匹丛马猎犬,从马背上,驮载了各类兵器和生活用品。就说射猎用的箭,每匹丛马就驮了四五个满满的箭囊,差不多有三百来支。

时年十九的刘备策马在前。他七尺五寸的身高在同伴中并不突出,但一双长臂刹是显眼,时而拉控马缰,驻足河边说笑,时而放情快奔,与同伴竞马射猎,俨然众人领袖。

行至桃阳亭的时候,刘备翻身下马,将刚射下的两只鸿雁递送给当地的亭长,为在此地射猎致歉,亭长推让两次后不得,只能收下,而后步行将一行人送至两里外,等他们的背影消失了,亭中小吏忍不住相互议论道:传闻涿县大姓里卢氏为上品,却不料年轻一代里,如今名声鹊起的竟是元起公的同宗子弟刘玄德【1】,连中山大商张世平、苏双都与之结交,却不知这刘玄德到亭里所求为何?

桃阳亭下有七里,其中绛德里最为喧闹繁华,沿着桃水南岸,一东一西各有两处集市,东集市稍大,以卖肉蔬为主,西集市稍小。以卖酒布为生,两处集市之间,立着偌大一处庄园,占地十来亩,高一丈有余,但院内芳菲多情,夭夭桃枝探出墙头,挡住了院门前一个大写的“张”。

刘玄德手指院门,向身旁张世平确认:“世平吾兄,君所言义士可在此处?”

“正是此处。”张世平颔首,他身为中山大商,却不过而立之年,拥有千金之财,但身着胡服,头戴黔巾,身高八尺,腰背健硕更胜牛虎,腰配一品铜柄钢刀,与寻常幽燕武人无异,但观他举止谈吐,文雅持重彷佛儒生:“我与义士相约,等我涿县事了,便来此地寻他,这义士颇有细侯遗风,他定会在此地等我。”

原来这一行人出县远游,不为他事,正是为寻访豪杰而来。幽州自春秋战国以来,地处边疆,屡受胡虏侵犯,又饱受风霜,塑造了燕人独特的气质,所以燕国虽国力不强,但却多豪杰侠士。到了前汉世宗时,世宗扩疆攘夷,平灭三韩,幽州精骑闻名天下,而在之后世祖再造大汉,光武中兴时,虽然儒士们不喜幽州武人的鄙陋之气,也不得不私底下承认,世祖能够得有天下,多赖耿弇、吴汉所率幽燕豪侠之故。

刘备身为幽州后起之秀,虽然出身贫寒,但家声仍然颇有美名,他因此遍访幽州豪杰,为四周百姓排忧解难,成为名传幽燕的知名豪侠,张世平作为中山贩马大商,也不得不与之结交,就在昨日,刘备与张世平饮宴之时,询问可知何处可访豪杰,张世平沉吟少许,便提出他知有一人,武有擒虎之能,义有细侯之风,可以与之深交。

细侯,指汉世祖时期名臣郭汲郭细侯,郭细侯官至尚书令,凉州牧,但为人谦和自守,不因人而异,昔日路过西河之时,与数百稚童相约归期,回返时比约定早过一日,郭细侯不愿违信,便在城外野亭驻足一日方才入城,因而传为美谈。

在张世平眼里,能与郭汲相提并论的,会是何人?

一行人下了马,到院门前扣环,门头小窗里露一个苍头,向众人多问了几句,便请众人稍等,自去向家长禀告,未久,一个魁梧大汉打开院门,笑迎众人行至院内。跨过门廊,院内豁然开朗,芳草萋萋,桃意茵茵,几台大釜安置树下,几条土狗吐着舌头在一旁小憩,隐隐然酒香轻溢,使人添上几分醉意。

“不知今日是何佳日,小府竟再有贵客远临,蓬荜生辉,不胜荣幸。”大汉名为张浑,身似泰阿,言辞温和,刘备一行多有雄武之士,自恃孔武有力,在张浑面前却宛若灌木一般,不由令众人气息为之一滞,唯有两三人面不改色,刘备神色如常,笑问张浑道:

“张公客气,我素来听闻桃阳张氏的武名,只是以往自惭年幼无识,易受轻于人,直至今日,方来拜访,只是听张公所言,府邸还有贵客在此,不知我等来此是否合适?”
