The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 63 Conquering Taishi Ci with One Word
The next day, Liu Xiao took Kong Rong, Xun Yu and Gao Chong straight out of the city and arrived at Tai Shici's house.

Before Liu Xiao could speak, Gao Chong had already arrived at the door, raised his hand, and knocked on the door!

It's just that Gao Chong's strength was too great. Maybe the chaimen was a bit old. Gao Chong felt that he didn't exert much force, and he actually hit the chaimen with one punch!

"Whoa!"

Gao Chong was dumbfounded, wiped it, is this still called a door?

"Gao Chong, you bastard, why don't you back off!"

Liu Xiao was so angry that he almost fainted, he came to visit Xian, and when you came up, he smashed down the door first, what's the matter?

"Who is making noise outside?"

A young man's voice sounded in the courtyard.

Liu Xiao was taken aback, glanced at Kong Rong, and asked doubtfully, "Wen Ju, didn't you say that there is only one old mother in Taishi Ci's family?"

Kong Rong shook his head and shouted, "Qingzhou Inspector Liu Xiao and Beihai Governor Kong Rong have come to pay a visit to Taishi Ziyi!"

As soon as the words fell, footsteps sounded from inside.

A young man came to the door and saw the chai gate collapsed. He couldn't help being angry and shouted: "Everyone, no matter who you are, why did you knock down the chai gate of my house as soon as you came here? If I'm not at home, don't you still think about it?" Can't break the door and get in?"

Liu Xiao hurriedly bowed and said: "Sir, don't misunderstand, it's just because the subordinate has a rough personality and neglects to discipline him. That's why Liu Xiao apologized to you face to face!"

The young man was about to speak when the old lady's voice sounded from inside: "Ziyi, who is outside?"

Kong Rong said quickly: "Old lady, Kong Rong from Beihai, come to visit old lady!"

"Is Kong Wenju here? You idiot, hurry up and let the distinguished guest in!"

An old lady who was over sixty years old walked out tremblingly, saw Kong Rong and the others, and immediately reprimanded them.

The young man quickly welcomed everyone into the courtyard.

"Ziyi, you have been visiting friends in Liaodong this time, and you have been there for more than half a year. In the past six months, thanks to Mr. Kong for taking care of you, otherwise, whether my mother can live until now is still a matter of debate! Thank you, Mr. Kong. ?”

Seeing that the young man was a little dazed, the old lady quickly reprimanded him.

Taishi Ci quickly knelt down on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Taishi Ci, thank you so much for taking care of my mother these days. I am very grateful!"

Kong Rong and Liu Xiao were stunned, Tai Shici?Didn't it mean that the visiting friend did not return?
Kong Rong hurriedly helped Tai Shici up, and asked anxiously, "Ziyi, don't be too polite. This is the new governor of Qingzhou. Liu Xiao and Liu Xuangan, Marquis of Hanchang Township, came here to pay a special visit after hearing about Ziyi's name. , Didn’t you go to Liaodong? A few days ago, I sent someone to visit the old lady, and the old lady said that it would take half a month for you to come back!”

Tai Shici hurriedly met with Liu Xiao and the others before he replied: "Your Majesty, I have been wandering away for half a year, and there is only my mother at home, so I can't rest assured, so I hurried back all the way, and when I reached Le'an, I heard that the Yellow Turban Army The siege of Beihai was a long journey day and night. I just rushed back last night. Just now I heard from my mother that Lord Inspector led the Qingzhou Army to break through the Yellow Turbans and relieved the siege of Beihai. My heart just felt at ease. I also want to thank General Xuangan for his help and rescue. Thousands of people are in the water and fire, and General Xuangan's achievements are great!"

Kong Rong said with a smile: "It turns out that I have heard for a long time that Ziyi is a hero. Today, General Xuangan came here to invite Ziyi to come out of the mountain, help the Han Dynasty together, and save the people. You have to resign!"

Tai Shici hesitated for a while, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, Yangzhou Inspector Liu Yao and I are from the same township. When we were young, we took care of Tai Shici a lot, and now he wrote to me, hoping that I will go to Yangzhou..."

Kong Rong's face froze, he never expected that he and Liu Xiao would come to the door in person, but would be rejected by Tai Shici!

Liu Xiao's complexion was also a little unsightly, but Tai Shi Ci made it clear that Liu Yao and him were old friends, and if they were invited by letter, how could they refuse him?That's right, isn't it because Sun Ce fought in Jiangdong and met Liu Yao in Yangzhou when Tai Shici fought against Sun Ce later?
Kong Rong said in a low voice: "Ziyi, are you thinking about it? Liu Xuanqian has the world in mind, and he takes saving the common people as his own responsibility. He broke the yellow scarves and his reputation spread far and wide. Liu Yao is just a conservative generation. How can he compare with Liu Xuanqian?"

Tai Shici smiled wryly and said: "I also know that compared with General Xuangan, Liu Yao is timid and cautious, and it is difficult to achieve great things. However, since I have sent a letter to call, it is difficult for a certain family to shirk..."

"Forget it..."

Liu Xiao sighed, "Wenju, everyone has their own ambitions, so we won't make things difficult for Ziyi..."

Xun Yu smiled and said, "My lord, wait a minute, but Ziyi listens to me, and it won't be too late to make a decision!"

Tai Shici looked at Xun Yu and replied, "Mr. Wen Ruo, if you have something to say, it's fine."

Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "Ziyi, although you have an old relationship with Liu Yao, this is a personal friendship. Accepting the invitation of General Xuan Qian and conquering the traitors is justice. Which of the two is more important? Secondly, what is the importance of your parents? , not traveling far, I heard that your father has passed away a long time ago. He is over seventy years old and has no one to take care of you. You traveled thousands of miles alone and ignored Gaotang. Where is your filial piety? Thirdly, Liu Yao has an old relationship with the general. Is it possible that the North Sea cares about Gaotang? General, Liu Yao is fond of Zang. He likes to talk mysteriously, and is full of friends. However, he has practical strategies in his heart, whether he governs the local area or the world, he is not worthy of discussion. Choose a good minister. It is up to the master, how can a general and a hero cast a bright pearl in the shadows?"

Tai Shici was silent immediately, what Xun Yu said was not unreasonable, but how to evade Liu Yao?Also, although Liu Yao is not a wise master, is Liu Xiao in front of him?
"Ziyi!"

The old lady on the side shouted: "In the past year, I have heard many times that Liu Xuanqian was famous, suppressed the Yellow Turban, challenged Dong Zhuo, and defeated Wang Kuang. Such actions are worthy of my son's ability. Could it be that you rejected your husband and Liu Xuanqian just for the sake of a little kindness at the beginning? If it weren't for Master Xuangan leading the army to help, I'm afraid that I would have been kidnapped by the yellow scarf bandits for my mother. , die without a burial place!”

Tai Shici's heart was shaken, and he said slowly: "Mother, my child understands, General Xuangan, a certain family is willing to serve under his command, to serve you as a pawn, and have no regrets in life!"

"Pawn? Haha..."

Liu Xiao was overjoyed and laughed and said, "With Ziyi's talent, thousands of households are no problem, let alone a mere pawn? Ziyi, it's time for us to employ people in our army. How can we let you be a pawn?" Little pawn? Please also let me take the old lady to Qingzhou to take good care of it. From now on, you will be the captain of the Qingzhou infantry, and together with Xu Gongming, you will lead the Qingzhou infantry. It is no problem to make contributions in the future!"
