New Story of Lv Bu

On the fifth day of September, at noon, Qingzhou, Beihai Country’s Junzhiju County, in the Prefect’s Mansion.

Beihai Xiang Kong Rong is eating rice. Kong Wenju is the twentieth grandson of Master Kong and he is most particular about etiquette. Even when eating, there are many routines, complicated etiquette, clean hands and incense, and finally finished it. Just picking up the chopsticks and lifting the bead curtain, Wang Xiu strode in. Wang Xiu is the person Kong Rong trusts most, and he does not need to be notified when he enters and leaves the prefectural palace.

When he saw Wang Xiu, Kong Rong’s face immediately showed a smile. He and Wang Xiu have reached the level of being acquainted with informal manners, so he did not get up, just pointed at the chopsticks in his hand: "Shuzhi, I want to come and join you. You don't have to use the rice. Come and use it with me." Wang Xiu was not polite, and he uttered a nuisance, and he ate his chopsticks. Kong Beihai used food, obeyed the ancestor's instructions, and paid attention to food without speaking. Wang Xiu was also a true Confucian who stood upright, and the two of them did not answer, and each used their food in silence.

The meal was finally finished, and the two of them had finished washing, Kong Rong got up and left, Wang Xiu silently followed behind him. When they arrived in a secret room, the two were divided into guest and host, and the maid put on the tea, Kong Beihai slowly said: "Uncle Zhi, but something big happened?" "Lord, White Horse General Gongsun Zan obeyed the edict of the emperor, and Yuan Shao has ceased the war," Wang Xiu said with his hands.

"Oh? This is a little unexpected. Jizhou originally had nine counties, but three counties were taken away by Dasima. Bohai County and Hejian Kingdom were already controlled by Gongsun Zan's generals, Yan Gang and Gongsun Zan's generals, from his younger brother Gongsun Fan, Zhongshan Guohe Anpingguo was ready to move, intending to betray Yuan Benchu ​​and be attached to Gongsun Bogui. Yuan Benchu ​​was left with only one county of Qinghe State, trapped in Ganling, and was unable to do anything. At this time, Gongsun Zan actually ended the war, which is really unexpected!" Bearded, a little puzzled.

"Lord, this is easy to understand. Gongsun Bogui is playing the banner of revenge for Han Jizhou, holding the righteousness, Jizhou officials and people will be grateful for Han Fu's kindness, and then they will all respond. For example, today the son has issued an edict, if it is Gongsun Bo Kyu’s non-stop fighting is against the righteousness. Therefore, even if he is extremely unwilling, he has to pinch his nose to stop the fighting before speaking."

Wang Xiu said with a solemn expression on his face. "Shuzhi, you are right! This is indeed the reason. There is no righteous status, although it is not difficult to do things, there are still many difficulties in doing things. If it is not for the poor soldiers in our country, I will also lead my troops to go. Runan County, welcoming the emperor. In your opinion, this truce is just a stopgap?"

"Lord, looking at the current situation, it is indeed the case. Gongsun Bogui sent an envoy to Pingyu County, Runan County to meet the emperor, and along the way, he proclaimed Gongsun Zan's kindness and criticized Yuan Shao's disobedience. What's more, he also organized He organized a petition group composed of officials and people from Jizhou. In the name of appealing for Han Jizhou, he rushed to Pingyu County, claiming that he would escape justice for Han Jizhou in front of the emperor. In addition, he sent envoys to go there. The capital of Luoyang City, to win the support of Da Sima."

A smile appeared on Kong Beihai’s face when he heard this. Before the First Battle of Yanshi, Yuan Shao, the leader of the Kwantung Army, sent troops to attack him and Tao Qian and Zhang Yang’s army. If it were not for the state army to inform them in time, then he sent troops. For the rescue, Kong Rong would definitely not be able to return to Beihai. Now when he heard that Yuan Benchu ​​was disgraced by the white horse general Gongsun Zan, he was naturally very happy.

"Hahahahaha! Unexpectedly, Gongsun Bogui came up with this detrimental trick. There must be an expert advice. Could it be the new plains prefect Liu Bei Liu Xuande?" Kong Rong laughed happily. But Wang Xiu didn't laugh. He folded his hand and said with a serious face: "Lord, in my opinion, Gongsun Zan's truce is only an expedient measure, just to show that he holds the righteous status. In private, he will definitely not be so honest. Yes, maybe we have to make troubles behind Yuan Benchu. We still have to send envoys to the capital city of Luoyang, and at the same time contact Tao Gongzu to form an alliance to fight Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan."

"That's great! Uncle Zhi, you are right! That's exactly what it is, in a corner of Beihai, sandwiched between the two fierce tigers Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, it is really a dilemma. Looking at the world, only Da Sima can control this. There are two tigers." When Wang Xiu said this, Kong Rong immediately put away his smile. At this moment, it was the most dangerous moment, and there was no time to enjoy peace.

"Lord, there is one more thing. Cao Cao's special envoy Xun Yu Xun Wenruo and Yuan Shao's special envoy Xu You Xu Ziyuan, the two men bought out Zheng Taizheng Gongye, the important minister by the emperor's side, and they wanted to gather the princes to form an anti-Lu alliance and claim that they would leave Luoyang east. , Still in the old capital. Yuan Shu has already agreed, and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu will most likely agree." Wang Xiu's face dimmed.

"It's a dream! And it's a dream of Spring and Autumn!" Kong Rong patted the case and said loudly: "Shuzhi, Yanshi's first battle, I was just in time for the meeting, and combined with the strength of the Zhou army, Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Mengde's armies are smashing horses. Can't keep up. Even I know this. How can Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Mengde be unclear? They try to understand and pretend to be confused, just to deceive the emperor and turn his face with Da Sima!"

"Once the emperor returns to Luan, Da Sima will have the righteous status in his hands. He is already equipped with good soldiers, so he will be more powerful. This situation is absolutely unwilling to see Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Mengde, so they came up with this. A trick to draw a salary from the bottom! The emperor is only twelve years old, and I still don’t understand. Zheng Gongye is so old in Huahai, how can he not understand? It’s a joke!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiu smiled, extremely brilliantly. "Lord, Zheng Gongye is the leader of the clear stream, and the lord has also been the clear stream. Don't you understand?" "Oh! I understand!" Kong Rong finally realized it. Most of the Qingliu in this dynasty are famous scholars and scholars. They only know how to search for chapters and excerpts. They don't know how dangerous their careers are. People’s livelihood suffers. They give pointers to the country. I can’t do big things, I don’t want to do small things, my heart is higher than the sky, my life is thinner than paper, and 80% of them are useless!

Just because Kong Rong was once a clear leader, Wang Xiu couldn't speak bluntly, so he had to imply that. Although Kong Rong's ability to govern the country is not very good, he has a great mind. Hearing this, he is not annoyed, but he just laughed. As the saying goes, you don’t know Chai Migui if you are not in charge. In the past few years, the Bei Haixiang sat down and knew that the emperor's ocean was as deep as the ocean, and things were not easy.

"Shuzhi, if the emperor issued an edict, as a Hanchen, I must go. But once I go to the Huimeng, written in black and white on it, how can I explain to Da Sima in the future?" I thought that Da Sima had sent soldiers to rescue him. Kong Rong hesitated for his own life. After all, he was the twentieth grandson of Master Confucius, and he still hoped to repay him from his heart.

"It's okay, the lord can imitate Zhang Yang and Zhang Zhi." Wang Xiu said again to wake up the person in his dream. When the Kwantung princes met with Dong, Zhang Yang appeared to be one of the princes. In fact, he took refuge in Da Sima Lubu and passed on the Kwantung Army's intelligence to the Bingzhou Army. Not only did his army grow stronger, but at the critical moment, Da Sima Lubu also sent troops to rescue him.

"I understand. Today, I will send envoys to Luoyang City, Runan County, and Tao Gongzu's office in Xuzhou. See what conditions Dasima has. If it is not too excessive, I will agree to it. According to the old man. See, the emperor was young, he was played by the princes in the palm of his hand without knowing it, thinking and thinking, or Da Sima can be trusted. The old man is old! Don't want to hear it!"

At this moment, a small official hurried in and handed a piece of paper to Wang Xiu. "The book of the king, this is the eagle letter I just received. It is said to be a hundred thousand in a hurry!" "I see, you go down first!" Wang Xiu waved his hand to let the little official go down, stretched out his hand to unfold the document, and hurriedly read it at a glance, and raised it. At the beginning, his face turned pale, and his eyes were full of tears.

"Master, the news just came that Sun Wentai was killed in battle!" "What?" Kong Rong was also shocked.

Originally from Yuan Shu's disagreement with Yuan Shaoying making Liu Yu the emperor, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have essentially turned their faces, and Yuan Shu has since then had the ambition to become an emperor. Yuan Shu and White Horse General Gongsun Zan formed an alliance to make trouble behind Yuan Shao's back. Yuan Shao is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. He also made an alliance with Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and secretly gave Yuan Shu a trip.

Jingzhou has a vast territory, and Nanyang County, the base of Yuan Shu, is one of the seven counties in Jingzhou. To conquer Nanyang County, it is an irresistible temptation for Jingzhou Mu Liubiao. After receiving Yuan Shao's letter, Liu Biao was overjoyed and kept sending people to make small moves behind Yuan Gongdao. Yuan Gonglu was born as a young master. He was self-willed and arrogant. How could he bear this breath? Angrily, he ordered his subordinate Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian and Sun Wentai to cross the Yangtze River and attack Jingzhou Mu Liubiao. He must have a **** enemy!

After receiving the order, Sun Jian immediately sent his troops south, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to return to his base, Changsha County. Liu Biaopai's general Huang Zu fought against Sun Jian between Fancheng and Dengxian. Huang Zu's base is Jiangxia. If Xiangyang fails, Jiang Xia will suffer next. Huang Zu will have to fight to the death with all his strength because of reason, public and private.

Sun Jian's army was powerful, and easily defeated Huang Zu, pursued the victory, crossed the Han River, and surrounded the city of Xiangyang. Liu Biao was so frightened that he closed the four doors and did not dare to fight with Sun Jian. After thinking hard for a long time, Liu Biao sent Huang Zu out of the city in the dark to mobilize the soldiers from the six counties of Jingzhou to relieve the siege. Huang Zu successfully completed this task and returned with his troops to fight Sun Jian again.

"Huang Zu is here again? This time, I must teach him to go and not to pay back!" Sun Jian sneered and ordered the war.
