Kong Rong felt unreasonable.

How can such a person become a representative of Shandong scholar-bureaucrats in the court?Can he take on this important task?

The emperor first left him in Taiyuan, then sent him to Yizhou, and now he is sent to Xuzhou. He just doesn't want to see him, right?

Zhang Xi was older than Kong Rong, he was a little unhappy to be reprimanded by Kong Rong, and immediately retorted. "There is courage in the city, so why should I worry about it. The success of the peace negotiation, the peace of Xuzhou, and the restoration of Liu Xuande's family status are all thanks to the Wenju."

Kong Rong became even angrier, pointed at Zhang Xi's nose and shouted, "You really don't know what to say. I'm in Pengcheng, do I do it for meritorious service?"

-

Tian Feng was sitting in the tent, closing his eyes and meditating, when he suddenly heard the commotion outside, which was quite strange.

It is forbidden to make noise in the big camp, and those who violate the prohibition will be engaged in military law.Could it be that the news of the withdrawal has already spread, and the soldiers are lax, even disregarding the military order?

He sent someone out to check.Not long after, the attendant came back and told him a message.

Kong Rong came to Daying and was talking in Zhang Xi's tent, surrounded by a group of people.Although I couldn't see what was going on in the tent, but hearing the sound, it seemed that there was a lot of noise.

Tian Feng was very curious, went out of the tent to watch, and saw a group of people.He mixed into the crowd, and after listening for a while, he realized that the attendant had just spoken politely.Where the quarrel was fierce, it was because Kong Rong unilaterally reprimanded Zhang Xi. Most of the time, Kong Rong was talking, and Zhang Xi's voice could hardly be heard.

There was another voice, but it was definitely not Zhang Xi.

Tian Feng listened for a while, suddenly his heart moved, he raised his head, glanced at the head of Pengcheng City in the distance, sniffed, turned around and squeezed out the crowd, and hurried to Yuan Shao's big tent to ask for an audience.

Yuan Shao was drinking in the tent, when he heard that Tian Feng asked to see him, he didn't realize it for a while.

Seeing Tian Feng angry, he thought Tian Feng would not show up for a while.

In a daze, Yuan Shao still asked Tian Feng to meet him.

Tian Feng strode in, seeing the messy cups and plates in front of Yuan Shao, reeking of alcohol, and Yuan Shao himself was blushing, reeking of alcohol, he couldn't help frowning, and forgot to say something for a while.

Seeing Tian Feng's expression, Yuan Shao also felt embarrassed, and got up to signal. "Yuan Hao, how about...have a drink?"

Tian Feng was taken aback for a moment, then he remembered what he was here for.He took a step forward, grabbed Yuan Shao's sleeve, directly pulled Yuan Shao out of the big tent, and pointed at the top of Pengcheng City.

"My lord, tonight is the best time to capture Pengcheng."

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment. "Siege?"

"Yes." Tian Feng was so excited that he couldn't help himself. "The envoys of the Xuanzhao entered the city, and Liu Bei restored his family status. When he was excited, he must drink and celebrate, and even got drunk. If you attack the city tonight, you will succeed. Smell it, does it smell like alcohol?"

Yuan Shao sniffed, and indeed smelled a strong smell of alcohol, but he immediately laughed.

The alcohol was his own.

"Yuan Hao, even if Liu Bei regains his family status and is in a good mood, he may not be drunk when he drinks and has fun. Is your speculation a bit taken for granted?"

Tian Feng shook his head again and again. "My lord, although Liu Bei came from a poor background, he is fond of wine and sex. When guarding the city, life and death are on the line. He will not dare to be presumptuous. Today, the envoy entered the city to announce the situation. He endured it for a few months, how could he not get drunk? ?Even if he is not drunk himself, Zhang Fei will definitely be drunk if he drinks too much. If Zhang Fei is drunk, half of the city will be leaderless. If you seize this opportunity to attack by force, you will definitely be able to break the city."

Tian Feng stretched out his hand. "Did your lord see those people?"

Yuan Shao noticed the crowd just now, but Tian Feng didn't give him time to ask.

"What's the matter, why are there so many people gathered together?" Yuan Shao's face darkened, very unhappy.

"Kong Rong came to see Sikong and scolded Sikong for neglecting his duties, almost causing the city to collapse..."

Tian Feng told Yuan Shao what he had heard and what he had imagined, emphasizing that the atmosphere in the city was once extremely oppressive, but now that the victory is imminent, Liu Bei is likely to get carried away.

Kong Rong couldn't wait to find Zhang Xi, and he couldn't even wait for the next morning. It can be seen how much influence the envoy's entry into the city has on the people in the city.

Yuan Shao's heart skipped a beat, his eyes lit up.

Tian Feng is right, this is indeed an opportunity.

Yuan Shao immediately returned the account, ordered people to remove the food and drink, and at the same time called a civil and military discussion.

Feng Ji arrived first and immediately expressed his objection.

When you see Kong Rong's publicity, you feel that Liu Bei will also relax his vigilance. This is pure speculation and there is no evidence at all.Kong Rong is a scholar and a madman, when did he stop showing off?Liu Bei has been struggling between life and death these years. If it was like what you said, he would have died a hundred times earlier.

Taking a step back, even if Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are drunk, you will definitely be able to win Pengcheng?

Liu Bei was able to hold on to Pengcheng for several months, not entirely because of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's bravery, but because the defenders in the city were worried that they would be massacred like Chen Deng's subordinates, and everyone fought to the death.

Tian Feng originally wanted to refuse to argue, but when he heard this sentence, he lost his temper on the spot.

Chapter 660

Zhang Xi was shot at by Kong Rong and Mi Heng in turn, scolded bloody, and doubted his life.

The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt.

In the past few years, I have devoted myself to fighting against the forces of Bingliang and safeguarding the interests of Shandong scholar-bureaucrats. How did I come to this point and be reprimanded by two younger generations?

Zhang Xi couldn't figure it out, he was ashamed and angry, and fell ill.

Early the next morning, Yuan Shao sent someone to inquire about the news, only to find out that Zhang Xi was ill and had a persistent high fever.

Yuan Shao wanted to ask Kong Rong to clarify, but he heard that Kong Rong had returned to the city last night.It is said that when returning to the city, they shouted for a long time outside the city before they responded from the city.

Yuan Shao's heart skipped a beat, he hurried to the front camp to check, and asked if there was any smell of alcohol in the city.

The soldier in charge of looking out swallowed hard and nodded.

In the dead of night, they smelled the smell of alcohol in the city, and they were so hungry.Some people also saw the soldiers at the top of the city drinking and dancing, and singing songs all night long.

Yuan Shao's heart moved, and he asked again if he saw Liu Bei or Zhang Fei.

Several soldiers asked around, and they all said that they did not see these two people.Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are the backbone of the defenders in the city. Wherever they go, they are surrounded by the front and back, so they are easy to recognize.

Yuan Shao was very upset, but he didn't blame Feng Ji.

Feng Ji was right. The soldiers in the city fought to the death not only because Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were good at using soldiers, but because they were worried that they would be slaughtered like Chen Deng's subordinates.Instead of this, it is better to fight to the death, maybe you can still fight for a future.

In the final analysis, it was still Tian Feng's fault.

The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more angry he went back to the big tent, and ordered people to urge the examiner to withdraw his troops, and at the same time ordered the entire battalion to retreat.

Although he didn't plan to leave Pengcheng yet, there was no need to surround Pengcheng anymore.Anyway, there is no chance of winning Pengcheng. Keeping a close confrontation will only make the soldiers exhausted. It is better to keep the distance so that both sides can rest at ease.

Seeing Yuan Jun retreating outside the city, the soldiers at the top of the city burst into earth-shattering cheers.

The persistence of more than half a year finally paid off, and they won.Ordinary soldiers can get land and rewards, and generals will get official titles according to different merits. They all have a bright future.

Liu Bei was also very excited.

This time guarding Pengcheng, he not only got the clan affiliation he dreamed of, but also gained a rare experience.

Before that, he fought for many years, and except for fighting against the Yellow Turban, he hardly achieved a decent record.This time was different. He faced the tens of thousands of Jizhou elites led by Yuan Shao, and only relied on more than 1 newly recruited mobs. After fighting hard for several months, he defended Pengcheng and his dignity. He also gained a new understanding of the way to use troops. .

He felt reborn, as if reborn.

Liu Bei immediately asked Kong Rong to be his envoy, and went to Chang'an with the military merit book.

After repeated consideration, he decided to accept the emperor's suggestion and move to Qingzhou to prepare for the war against Liaodong.

Of course, Jian Yong and Mi Zhu stayed, and he recommended Jian Yong as the Minister of Donghai and Mi Zhu as the Minister of Pengcheng.

In addition to rewarding meritorious service, Liu Bei also suggested to the emperor to implement Dutian in Pengcheng and Donghai.

In fact, it doesn’t work if you don’t spend the fields.The land he promised to the soldiers must be honored, otherwise no one will follow him to fight in Liaodong, and maybe there will be a mutiny.

Even Kong Rong, who strongly opposed Du Tian, ​​could not refuse this point.They argued repeatedly, and finally Jian Yong persuaded Kong Rong with one sentence.

It is better to carry out a selective trial of the field than to force it to be fully rolled out.

Since it is a trial implementation, if there are problems in the implementation of Dutian, adjustments can be made to accumulate experience for the full rollout in the future.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion has shown that land annexation has reached a time when it must be resolved, and no one can stop it.If you don't accept the emperor's approach of advancing slowly, you can only wait for the next Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Kong Rong was a person who experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He almost died on the battlefield because of this.

He also knows that it is difficult for him to make a difference in troubled times.If the trial of Dutian can bring peace, it is a good thing for both public and private purposes.

What finally prompted Kong Rong to go west was a piece of news he had just received.

Chen Gong was appointed as the prefect of Jiujiang, and he will try to save the fields in Jiujiang.Except for Jiujiang and Lujiang, the imperial court has no plan to implement Dutian in other counties of Yangzhou.

The emperor's attitude towards Dutian in Shandong was firm but cautious.

-

When Kong Rong rushed to Suiyang, Cao Cao had just recovered Suiyang City.

The review team withdrew and moved to Dingtao.

Originally, the trial match was unwilling to withdraw, even with Yuan Shao's order.

In the end, it was the reinforcements from Runan that forced him to withdraw.

After Yuan Shu regained Lujiang and beheaded Yan Liang, it caused a huge shock to Yuzhou.No one dared to blatantly support Yuan Shao and fight against the imperial court.Zong Cheng successfully collected enough food and grass, and recruited [-] troops, with a total strength of [-], and rushed to Suiyang.

Facing the murderous Zong Cheng, the judge and match knew that there was no hope of rescuing the siege, so they had to carry out Yuan Shao's order and retreat to Dingtao.

Before retreating, he sent someone to sneak into the city and sent a message to Shen Rong.

Surrender, save your life.If you have a chance, don't go back to Jizhou.Yuan Shao is indecisive and indecisive, and it is difficult to accomplish a major event. All the judges cannot be buried with him. You have to keep some hope for the judges.

Shen Rong immediately surrendered to Cao Cao and Zong Cheng, and Suiyang, which had been lost for nearly two years, finally returned to Cao Cao's hands.

Although he was extremely disdainful of Cao Cao, Kong Rong was still very happy to see the Jizhou army withdrawing and Suiyang recovering, so he stayed with Zong Cheng for two days.

During this period, Kong Rong met Han Yin, Huang Yi, Yuan Quan, Ma Yunlu and others who had just arrived.

Kong Rong deeply agreed with Huang Yi who joined the army.

He does not practice martial arts himself, but he is not opposed to martial arts.Yunwen Yunwu should be the higher pursuit of scholars.

But he was very disapproving of Ma Yunlu and others.

No matter how strong a woman is, she is not suitable for joining the army. This is an innate decision.There are yin and yang in nature, and men and women in human beings, and they cannot be forced to be the same.After all, the emperor was young, overcorrecting, and even a little arrogant.When he arrived in Chang'an, he must advise the emperor and ask the emperor to cancel the female army.

Ma Yunlu was very angry and wanted to argue with Kong Rong, but was stopped by Yuan Quan.

Yuan Quan said, to be reasonable, you can't talk to Kong Rong.With your hands, you can hit him ten times, but if you do this, you will only cause trouble for the emperor.People won't say that you are skilled in martial arts, they will only say that you are backed by the emperor and acted recklessly.

Let him tell you, when he arrives in Chang'an, the emperor will take care of him himself.

Ma Yunlu endured the matter involving the reputation of the emperor.

Soon after Kong Rong left Suiyang, Yuan Shu arrived in Suiyang.

Yuan Shu has received the edict and transferred to Youzhou Mu.He was very happy. After receiving the edict, he set off immediately and rushed to Suiyang without stopping to meet Huang Yi and Yuan Quan.

Contrary to Kong Rong's attitude, Yuan Shu was full of praise for Ma Yunlu.As soon as they met, he asked Ma Yunlu if he would go to Youzhou with him.The Central Plains has been pacified, and there are still wars in Youzhou, so there are a lot of opportunities for meritorious service.

Facing the confused Yuan Shu, Yuan Quan was speechless.

Chapter 661

Yuan Quan said angrily: "The Yulin Women's Battalion is the emperor's forbidden army, and Dudu Ma is even the emperor's man. After returning to Beijing, she will enter the palace. How can she go to Youzhou with you?"

"Really?" Yuan Shu looked stunned, then nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "That's right, that's right. Only a young hero like the Son of Heaven is worthy of such a strange woman."

Although Ma Yunlu was happy in his heart, he couldn't bear Yuan Shu's outspokenness, so he found an excuse to stay away from Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu traveled north and brought many female relatives with him.Seeing the heroic Ma Yunlu and others in military uniform, the female relatives were very curious, pulling them and asking questions incessantly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuan Quan said to Yuan Shu: "Aunt, when you go to Youzhou, listen to Xun Gongda's advice more, don't make up your own mind, be wise and protect yourself."

Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows. "Am I not wise enough to protect myself? Now I'm like a tortoise with tails smeared, covered in mud, and it's too dirty for others to step on me."

Yuan Quan was stunned for a moment, and looked Yuan Shu up and down, wondering whether Yuan Shu was acting out of anger or telling the truth.

To be honest, this is not like Yuan Shu in her impression.

"You are still too young." Yuan Shu chuckled. "You are a little clever, but Naigong and I are great wisdom. The realm is different. It's normal if you can't understand."

Yuan Quan couldn't help laughing. "Then I'd like to ask Ah Weng to give me some pointers."

"Okay." Yuan Shu leaned on the car, crossed his arms and legs, shaking his feet from time to time. "We are going to part soon. We don't know when we will meet next time. I will take this opportunity to teach you some ways to survive."

Yuan Quan suppressed a smile and nodded solemnly.

"First of all, if you want to live a healthy life and no one dares to provoke you, you need to find a backer."

"backing?"

"For example, when I was young, why did I get into so many troubles without affecting my promotion? The reason is very simple. I am the son of the Yuan family who has four generations and three princes. People who want to flatter me can line up from my door to Luoshui. The trouble I caused is nothing serious at all, even if someone wants to trouble me, there are a lot of people who are willing to take the blame for me. Shorty Cao dares to beat Jiantu to death with a five-color stick, let him touch me for a while try."

Looking at Yuan Shu with a smug face, Yuan Quan didn't know how to evaluate him for a while.
