Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 283

After gaining another county, and Wu Sheng finally woke up, his body was getting better day by day, Wang Zheng's mood was very different from before, and there was a smile on his face.

After a few days of busy work, he did not forget the mysterious Confucian scholar Yi captured in Philadelphia. He went to see him every now and then, not talking about military affairs and state affairs, but only gossiping about love affairs.

From the first time he met Shi Yi, Wang Zheng saw that this man was extraordinary in nature, intelligence and intelligence, so he naturally wanted to recruit him, but he also knew that in his capacity, it would not be easy to poach Cao Cao's corner, let alone overnight. to make.

It doesn't matter, compared to the impetuousness of the previous life, what Wang Zheng, who is in a high position today, lacks most is capacity and patience.

Just treat the other party as an NPC, and slowly increase the favorability.

Whenever the two chatted, it was almost always Wang Zheng who took the initiative to find the topic, either picking up some past battle cases, or discussing with him with some historical books.

This is his miscellaneous and unprofessional half-baked self-exposing his shortcomings.

At the beginning, even if there were occasional mistakes and omissions in his speech, Shi Yi laughed at Yan Yan and didn't expose it, but he didn't respond much.

At the back, I don't know whether it was impatient, or because of Wang Zheng's ignorance, Shi Yi's smile was tinged with sarcasm, and he occasionally refuted, but Wang Zheng was speechless in just two or three sentences.

Wang Zheng was not angry, instead he was secretly happy, he was most afraid that you would not take it seriously, so just keep silent and just speak!
Whenever he was refuted speechless, he immediately changed the subject, praised and praised him sincerely, and even called him a famous person in the world, and he really had extraordinary insights.

After such a back and forth, Shi Yi was too lazy to talk to each other again, so Wang Zheng changed his strategy again and talked more about using allusions from later generations.

This action really worked, which often surprised Shi Yi, and often couldn't hold back his curiosity, asking "what happened next."

After chatting like this for many days, the two sides became more and more familiar. Shi Yi finally took the initiative to ask Cao Jun and the current situation of Taishan County, but Wang Zheng was vague and avoided answering.

At the same time, he ordered Xu Fang to arrange for the soldiers to tell Dianman some things first, and then let Shi Yi know through this person's mouth.

For example, the hard-fought battle in Yingxian County, after being distorted, turned into "the army broke the city" and "surrendered without a fight" when it was easy.

Sometimes exaggerating on purpose, sometimes pretending to be understated, to let Shi Yi know the changes in the outside world, but it is always true and false, and the truth is false.

On this day, Wang Zheng came to the courtyard where Shi Yi lived again, and after chatting with him for a while, he ordered his guards to hand over a brocade box and put it on the table, and immediately said: "Mount Tai ginseng is well-known in the world. One was found by Zheng's subordinates, it is said to be 300 years old, and it is a great tonic."

Staring at Shi Yi, Wang Zheng said earnestly: "The so-called skillful people work hard while wise people worry. My husband is used to thinking too much, so it must be tiring and hurting the body. In spring, diseases are prone to occur, so I use this to make soup to nourish the body and help it resist external evils. "

"However, the tonics have strong medicinal properties, so don't take too much every day."

Hearing this, Shi Yi was startled for a moment, then smiled, cupped his hands and said, "So, thank you General."

The other party did not show any emotion, and it was expected by Wang Zheng. Talented people must be arrogant, and no matter how heavy the gift is, it may not be able to move them. The moment when the opponent's psychological defense line is exhausted.

He arched his hands to Shi Yi, and was about to lift his feet to leave, but Shi Yi suddenly called Wang Zheng: "Wait a minute, general."

"Is there something wrong, sir?" Wang Zheng turned his head and asked in surprise, this seemed to be the first time this scholar had spoken on his own initiative.

I saw Shi Yi smiled, flicked his sleeves, and stood up leisurely: "General, Dianman and I have stayed in your army for many days. The general is also a smart person. You must know that the two of us are not afraid of death and betraying the Lord." It is useless to force such a person to stay."

"If you want to give me a way out, then I implore the general to let us both go home. If so, thank you general!"

As he spoke, he bowed his head and bowed his head in salute.

"Why is that so?" Wang Zheng was stunned, and then smiled: "Of course Zheng can't bear to hurt Mr., if you say let it go, it's all right, but "

"Just how?" Shi Yi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"It's just that in the past few days, the conversation between Mr. Zheng and He has not only benefited a lot, but also deeply respects the great talent of the emperor. He doesn't want to be full of beauty and bury the loess in vain!"

"how do I say this?"

"Sir, you must have forgotten that since my army entered Mount Tai, we have attacked and pulled out cities, no matter Feiguo, Nancheng, or even Fenggao. You are not only in the army, but also often appear in front of the battle." Wang Zheng said solemnly: "Now Many Yanzhou generals and civil servants escaped."

At this point, Wang Zheng paused, glanced at Shi Yi first, and continued: "Zheng heard that Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, if someone slips through the net, he wants to get rid of the crime, saying that it is not a crime of war, it is Shi Yi who offered advice. Wouldn't that be"

"Ridiculous!" Hearing this, Shi Yi's face changed suddenly, and he sneered again and again: "Zhuzi thinks I'm a three-year-old child, so deceitful?"

"I want you to know that if you hear Shiyi's name, Mr. Cao will definitely not be suspicious!"

He turned his face away in an instant and even spoke out the scornful name.

After all, tell the truth.

"I know." Wang Zheng replied with a smile.

He understood Shi Yi's implication, since the names he told Wang Zheng were all fake, how could he seek refuge?

With this countermeasure, Cao Cao's city can be seen through immediately.

"There is no one in the world who likes this person, how can he betray the Lord's theory?"

"Then, sir, would you like to tell the political leaders about your name?"

"So the general already knew about it." Since Wang Zheng was not angry, Shi Yi instantly calmed down and said with a smile, "It's just that a certain person is really not a celebrity, but if I tell the general his name, I'm afraid the general will be disappointed instead. "

"Sir, you really underestimate the government." Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "I want to know the real name of the gentleman, but I regard you as a friend, and hope that the gentleman will treat him with sincerity."

"It's only a matter of time before your talent becomes famous all over the world."

"What's more, at the beginning of life's literacy, rough memorization of names can be stopped." Wang Zhengdao: "The meaning of name is nothing more than to let oneself remember, and then let others remember."

"You can stop remembering your name." He lowered his head and murmured several times. When he raised his head again, Shi Yi looked at Wang Zheng in surprise: "It's quite rare to have such insights from a general's background."

"Then what would you like to say, sir?" Wang Zheng asked with a smile, he always felt that this Shi Yi might be an important person.

"Since the name can be written down roughly, why bother to get to the bottom of it?"
Shi Yi also answered with a smile on his face, but still flatly refused.

For some reason, he had a faint premonition in his heart.

Even if his family is not currently a famous person in the world, and his reputation is not obvious
But if Wang Zheng knows about it, it will definitely increase the difficulty of escaping from the tiger's mouth!
Day two.

"Mount Tai is established. I will leave tomorrow. I will go to Pengcheng first to meet with Cao Cao's envoy."

Above the hall, looking around at the generals, Wang Zheng said in a deep voice: "Then turn back to Kaiyang, Yuan Shu even invited the emperor's imperial edict, whether it is true or not, it is considered a good intention, after all, he will go back to pick up a Accepted."

Now that the decision has been made, it is necessary to quickly arrange the defense after leaving.

Don't say that the joint talks haven't started yet, even if they are done, don't take Cao Cao and Lu Bu lightly.

Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was Gaodi Liu Bang's backing the alliance to attack Chu, and later there was the Luoshui oath made by Sima Yi, the tomb tiger, which is enough to prove that the promises of politicians are the most unreliable.

Order Xu Fang to sit in Fenggao, Zhang Rao and Chen Jiao to station troops in Mou County and Bo County respectively, forming a triangle shape with each other as horns. It may not be possible to have spare power to attack, even if it does come, it is enough to protect it.

Thinking like this, not long after, Wang Zheng took the Thousand Heavens Execution Camp up again.

After seeing Cao Cao's envoy, Wang Zheng rushed to Kaiyang without stopping. He had just entered the city, wiped off the dust, and immediately asked Ni Heng to call Yuan Shu's envoy.

As soon as the envoy entered the door, Wang Zheng was taken aback, touched his nose involuntarily, and a rare embarrassment appeared on his face.

It turned out that he was an acquaintance when he came.

It was Yan Xiang, an old acquaintance whom he met in Linzi at the beginning of the year.

In order to prevent the other party from mentioning his family's breach of trust, Wang Zheng preemptively said with a smile: "It turns out that it is Mr. Xiang who came to our city. It is very fortunate, very fortunate."

Yan Xiang was startled, but immediately realized that the two looked at each other for a moment, and then laughed at the same time.

I broke my promise, you speak nonsense, and no one mentions who is wrong.

Mi Heng had already read the edict, and the contents were nothing more than words of encouragement and the matter of appointing Wang Zheng as the governor of Xuzhou, but both Wang Zheng and Mi Heng knew that Yuan Shu's real intention was to wait for Wang Zheng himself to accept the edict in person, before making any further inquiries. The envoy Yan Xiang personally informed.

Otherwise, Yuan Shu's No. [-] counselor would not only be a mere messenger, but why did he not leave until today?

Sure enough, as soon as Yan Xiang sat down and exchanged some greetings, he got straight to the point:
"It's just in time for the general to come back, and I have something to report to you, which cannot be decided without the general."

"When your envoy came, there were frequent military incidents on Mount Tai. Mr. Lao Yan waited for a long time, I hope you will forgive me." Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I will listen carefully to what is going on."

"Before the business," Yan Xiang said, "Congratulations to the general first."

"Where does the joy come from?"

"General Yihe won Mount Tai. It is a great blessing to have this treasure land."

"Erhe, it's because the general is young and heroic, and he is truly a pillar of our manhood. The emperor also values ​​it very much. The angel who went to Yangzhou once said that if he can make outstanding achievements again, the day of being named a lieutenant will not be far away. "

The Eastern Han Dynasty still inherited the [-]th rank of the Qin Dynasty. Liehou is the highest rank in the meritorious rank. It was originally named "Chehou", but later changed to Liehou, also known as "Tonghou" in order to avoid the embarrassment of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liehou has Shiyi (i.e. fief), and according to the size of Shiyi, it is divided into three levels: County Hou, Township Hou, and Tinghou.

For example, Yuan Shao was conferred the title of Marquis of Ye, which means that his food counties exceeded [-], so county lords are also commonly known as Marquis of Wanhu. For example, Guan Yu is the Marquis of Hanshou Ting, which is the lowest rank of Marquis Ting, but it is already a great honor. .

Under the Liehou, there are still Guanneihou with hundreds of households in the city, and those who have only names but no titles.

With such an honor, Wang Zheng's expression did not change, instead he glanced at Mi Heng, his eyes met, and he knew that the key point of Yan Xiang's words was the phrase "make another miraculous contribution".

"Thank you, Son of Heaven, for your high hopes." Wang Zheng smiled, pretending to be modest and said, "It's just that the general's reputation is poor, so it's so difficult to make him a Marquis."

"Don't joke, sir."

"Otherwise." But Yan Xiang said seriously: "Taishan County is the most important town in the world, but the general is determined in one month, so powerful, it has been counted in ten or thirty states in the world, and few people can match it!"

"Now that the generals are in Xuzhou, their prestige has long been spread throughout the north and south. Yangzhou Mu has always been rewarded for his meritorious service, and he will never wear down talents."

Oh, you threw out the real master in such a hurry?
Glancing at Yan Xiang with a half-smile, Wang Zheng pretended to be grateful, and said, "The great love between the Son of Heaven and Yangzhou Mu, would have been broken and it would be hard to repay it."

Lizi, what I'm waiting for is your words!
Yan Xiang bluntly said, "General, why do you say something insincere?"

"Huh?" Wang Zheng was stunned: "Why did you say that, sir?"

But there was a thump in his heart, secretly screaming that it was not good, as if he had fallen into the other party's trap.

"The general really wants to be grateful to the Son of Heaven. You know the Son of Heaven is in danger now. Why don't you personally command the elite and go north to rescue?" Yan Xiang shook his head and sighed, "Broken body, hey, it's easier said than done."

"The emperor is in danger?"

Wang Zheng didn't know about this at first, but Sun Ce mentioned it at the banquet when he came to Kaiyang last time, and now he knows it in his heart, and even recalled that it should be this year, after Cao Cao welcomes Emperor Xian, he is about to usher in a complete take-off.

At this time, he still pretended not to know, and asked in surprise, "How do you say that?"

"General, don't pretend to be confused." Yan Xiang snorted coldly, and continued to talk, pressing every step of the way.

Wang Zheng laughed loudly, and said, "So you are talking about the two thieves Li Jue and Guo Si?"

"Such planless and brave people are fighting against each other, how dare they hurt the dragon body of the emperor, how can they talk about the crisis?"

"Li Jue and Guo Si will naturally not endanger the emperor." Yan Xiang said: "But the Huns will not have any scruples!"

"You know, the general, just this year, the Southern Xiongnu had a new Shanyu——Huchuquan. Seeing the melee in the Central Plains, this man is about to take the opportunity to enter, and he entered Guanzhong before ten months ago!"

Are you asking me to save Han Xiandi?

Wang Zheng was speechless.

Please, I also started as a rebel, okay, you wouldn't be so naive as to think that a false job will make me a loyal minister of the Han court, right?

Although he complained secretly like this, his face was full of solemnity: "In the opinion of Mr., what should I do?"

"If the general can raise an army of [-], go north to rescue him. The emperor's crisis is naturally the first achievement of the king."

Do you want to look at the map before you talk?
Wang Zheng was speechless, not to mention his Yellow Turban status, but to look at it objectively, no matter Pengcheng Kaiyang or even Taishan, they are all in the east of the Han Dynasty, from here to Sili, to Jingzhaoyin, to Chang'an?
Isn't this difficult for the strong?

Also, [-] people?
After I finished fighting Mount Tai, counting the new recruits and the defenders from all over the country, the total is now less than 5 people. This number almost requires Wang Zheng to spend his family money and come out in full force!
but
I just received the imperial edict, so I have to think of a good reason to refuse it.

After pondering for a long time, Wang Zheng stood up and said, "It's not that sir reminded me, I really didn't know about it."

"The Son of Heaven is in trouble, so I will help you. How about this? I will call all the generals to discuss and make plans, and then I will tell you sir."

"If so, the general is really a loyal man." Yan Xiang also stood up and said: "The Son of Heaven and Yangzhou Mu must be overjoyed when they know about it."

"It's just." Wang Zheng said hesitantly: "When our army attacked Mount Tai, we suffered a lot of losses. Now not only are there few soldiers, but most of them are new recruits, and their combat power is not strong. This general will raise his army to the north, and the army will be raised. The second thief, the opponent of the Huns."

"What do you mean, General?" Yan Xiang was startled, and then his expression changed suddenly: "Are you teasing me?"

"No, sir, don't be in a hurry." Wang Zheng pressed his hand falsely, and said: "This general is just stating the truth, fighting alone will eventually be wrong. If you can't save the emperor, it will be my fault."

"If we can get Yangzhou herdsmen to go together, the chances of winning will be greatly increased."

You want me to rescue you, okay, let's go together!

I don't believe that Yuan Shu, who proclaims himself emperor, would waste his soldiers for Han Xiandi!
"Since it is for the sake of the emperor, the state shepherd will naturally send troops!"

Yan Xiang's answer was beyond Wang Zheng's expectations: "I am here to send the state herdsman to see the general's intentions. It has already been stated before. If the general has a heart of loyalty, he can dispatch elite soldiers to Yangzhou, and then the two sides will meet. Let’s go north together.”

Forehead.
Wang Zheng finally found out that he had been tricked.
It turns out that this is your real purpose.

Want me to lead troops to Yangzhou?

"If we go to Yangzhou first, and then go to Chang'an, it will take a lot of time." Unable to guess the other party's purpose for a while, Wang Zheng said hesitantly, "Isn't the Son of Heaven even more dangerous?"

"Relax, general." Yan Xiang smiled and said as if he had known that Wang Zheng would evade this reason:
"My Yangzhou waterway extends in all directions and is famous all over the world. If you go to Yangzhou, the army will take the waterway, and the time will only be faster than starting from Xuzhou!"

"This" couldn't think of a suitable reason for the time being, so Wang Zheng had to repeat the old saying: "That's fine."

"I'll discuss with the generals first, and arrange the soldiers, horses, food and grass."

It only said that the deployment should be done early, and did not mention when the army will go out.

He needs to have a good discussion with Mi Heng and the others first, what is Yuan Shu's intention in asking him to go to Yangzhou.
