Chapter 592: Push the boat down the river
Huainan, Shouchun. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuan Yao was overjoyed at this time with Qu Alai's battle report: "Sun Lang is really good, he captured Qu Ah in a few days, and now Liu Yao has fled to Wu County, hehe, Yangzhou will be my world in the future!"
Ji Ling reminded on the side: "The lord can't be careless, Sun Ce's ability alone is not enough to fight against Liu Xuan, I heard that the reason why Sun Ce was able to win Qu A so quickly this time is entirely because of Gao Yi's help!"
"Gao Yi, hmph, his elite men and horses are not in Yangzhou, what kind of climate can they have?" Yuan Yao said disdainfully.
"The lord doesn't know!" Ji Ling said, "This Gao Yi is not an ordinary person, without him, I am afraid that many people, including Kong Rong, Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce, I don't know how many times I will die!"
"Really?" Hearing Ji Ling say this, Yuan Yao was even more disdainful, "I don't care how many people he saved, I only know that if it weren't for him, my father wouldn't have died!"
Ji Ling was embarrassed, so he had to cough and said: "In this case, we can't be careless, after all, with his resourcefulness and courage, it is very likely that Sun Ce will be enveloped under his account, I heard that Qu A has no one to manage it now, is the lord appointing someone to take office as soon as possible, after all, Sun Ce is your subordinate general!"
Yuan Yao thought for a while and said: "It's a pity that the people under my command all have military positions, and it is inconvenient to leave office, this Sun Ce is too fast to conquer the city, so fast that I don't have time to think about who to let take office, last time I let Liu Xun be the Taishou of Lujiang, it was already a little reluctant, this time I really can't think of who to do well!"
Ji Ling said with a smile: "Could it be that the lord will still think that his subordinates will fight for you too quickly?"
"That's not it!" Yuan Yao smiled awkwardly, "General Ji Ling, do you have a good candidate?"
Ji Ling said: "Yes, yes, I just don't know if you want to." ”
Yuan Yao said: "Don't sell it, let's hear it!"
Ji Ling cleared his throat and said, "The suitable person in my mind to govern Qu A is none other than Sun Ce himself!"
"Ah!" Yuan Yao was surprised, he really didn't expect Ji Ling to say this.
Yuan Yao would react like this, and it was precisely because Ji Ling expected it, and he explained to Yuan Yao: " I know that the lord has always been suspicious of Sun Ce, this is no secret in the army, but I ask the lord to also consider your own great cause, no matter how Sun Ce can fight well, he is always just an eagle who loves meat, the lord has so many ministers and generals, and the rich land is fertile for thousands of miles, even if this Sun Ce wants to move his mind, can he still fight against the lord, the lord is now so heavy on him, he is already grateful and speechless, in my opinion, he is just a brave man, and he will not do much!”
Yuan Yao heard Ji Ling say so much, but he still didn't understand what Ji Ling was trying to express: "I'm a little dizzy, what does General Ji Ling mean?"
Ji Ling said: "Sun Ce can be used, if he knows that the lord is suspicious of him, then will he still do his best to do things for the lord?
Yuan Yao snorted coldly and said, "So what, General Ji Ling, didn't you say it just now, he dares to go against me?"
Ji Ling shook his head: "He doesn't dare, but what if he unites Cao Cao and Yuan Shao Lu Bu to attack the lord?" Although the enemy is only ants, but there are many ants, even tigers and leopards are helpless!"
Hearing Cao Cao's name, a cold sweat broke out on Yuan Yao's head again, so he said to Ji Ling: "You're right, it's me who didn't think it through, but at least we have to send someone to spy on Sun Ce, right?"
Ji Ling nodded: "Yes, Qu A and Shouchun are separated by the big river, if we send troops over, we must consider the possibility of Cao Cao and others attacking Huainan, if you go less, it will not work, and if you go more, it will waste troops, and it will cost manpower, material and financial resources to cross the water and wade the river, it is good to send someone to monitor Sun Ce, and report Sun Ce's movements to the lord at any time, even if he wants to rebel, the lord will have time to prepare!"
Yuan Yao nodded and said, "General Ji Ling's analysis is too good, but who is better to let go?"
Ji Ling was about to speak, when a small soldier from outside the door reported: "Lord Qiqi, Taifu Ma Riyan is here again, just outside the door!"
Yuan Yao frowned and said, "Why is he here again?" Just say that I am sick, I am gone!"
Ji Ling said: "It must have come to ask the princess for his ribbon, after all, the princess is a person from the court, and the lord should see him!"
"Okay!" Yuan Yao agreed with a crying face.
After a while, Ma Riyan walked in with square steps, and when he saw Yuan Yao, he didn't salute, and opened his mouth and said: "Lord Yuan Yao must embarrass the old man? The old man came here with a festival, but was taken away by Lord Yuan Yao in the name of watching this scarf, the so-called festival ribbon is like a king, the festival is in the people, and the festival is lost, if Lord Yuan Yao must die here, the old man will fulfill Lord Yuan Yao's wish!"
Ji Ling's eyes were quick, and he immediately hugged forward: "Lord Taifu is angry, how can the lord have the kind of meaning that Lord Taifu said?"
Ma Riyan shook off Ji Ling fiercely and said, "What does it mean if it's not like that?" Yuan Yao, I want you to say it yourself!"
Yuan Yao had already blushed, this Ma Riyan was reasonable, he was indeed rude and unreasonable, and immediately supported his forehead with his hand, and said heavily: "The headache is committed again, oops, oops!"
Ji Ling smiled and said: "The lord is sick today, is Lord Taifu come to Huainan, you see the beautiful mountains and rivers here, it is better for Lord Taifu to stay here for a longer time, the lord has always said that after he recovers, he will travel with Lord Taifu to enjoy the mountains and rivers!"
Ma Riyan said hatefully: "Pretending to be sick again! I'll see how long you can pretend!" After saying that, he touched his waist and pulled out a dagger! On his neck, "If Lord Yuan Yao doesn't return the old man's scarf today, the old man would rather die in this Shouchun City, so that everyone in the world will laugh at you Yuan Yao!"
"Master Taifu's festival ribbon is here!" Another voice came from outside the door between the words, Ma Riyan followed the sound and looked at it, only to see that the person who came was holding his own ribbon, and immediately overjoyed, stepped forward to take it and carefully examined it: "This is my ribbon, how can it be in Ziheng's hand?" Then he turned around and said angrily to Yuan Yao, " Lord Yuan Yao, you can just look at it yourself, and even pass the old man to his subordinates who regard the old man as more important than his own life, and you just humiliate the old man, do you know that this is humiliating the court!"
Yuan Yao was stunned and speechless, he looked at Ji Ling stupidly: Hasn't the Jieshou been kept by me in the secret room all along, how could it be in Lu Fan's hands?
Ji Ling was also a little stunned: Yes, I have always sent someone to guard that secret room, and it is impossible for anyone to get it.
Lu Fan looked at the expressions of everyone present, and first said to Ma Riyan: " Lord Taifu misunderstood my lord, in fact, it was not that the lord did not return the ribbon to Lord Taifu, but the lord did not have time to take a closer look, and was stolen by thieves at night, and the lord did not dare to explain to Lord Taifu, so he sent me to investigate the matter, until yesterday I brought the thief to justice, and asked the whereabouts of this ribbon, so I took it non-stop and handed it to the adult, fortunately in time to come down, I am afraid that it is a step too late, and the grievances of the lord are not washed away even if I jump into the Yellow River!"
"Am I wrong to blame Lord Yuan Yao?" Ma Riyan looked at Yuan Yao suspiciously, Yuan Yao had just come back to his senses: "Yes, yes, it is a capital crime to lose the ribbon, and please forgive me for the crime of concealment, I have always been a loyal defender of the Han family, Yuan Shao is my uncle, because he wants to set up Liu Yu as the Son of Heaven, disrespectful to the Han family, I don't even want this brotherhood, will I do something to insult the court?"
Ma Riyan blushed and said: "The old man is wrong, I can't compensate Lord Yuan Yao here, Lord Yuan Yao's loyalty to the imperial court The old man will definitely convey it to His Majesty! The old man has spent enough time in Shouchun, so let's resign to Lord Yuan Yao today!"
Yuan Yao couldn't keep it, so he had to say, "Lord Taifu take care!"
"Take care!" Ma Riyan turned around to leave, and suddenly said to Lu Fan, "By the way, Ziheng used to be General Sun Jian's officer, right?"
Lu Fan nodded: "What advice does Master Taifu have?"
Ma Riyan said: "The court let the old man come this time to pay homage to Sun Jian's eldest son as the captain of Huaiyi, but unfortunately he came too late and didn't see his person, and now he wants to go back, I'm afraid that I won't see this person in my lifetime, if you see him in the future, you must tell him, don't learn from his father, and cherish life!"
Lu Fan said: "Lord Taifu uses this to quit people and not quit himself?"
Ma Riyan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Lu Fan say this: "Ziheng is worthy of being a famous man in Runan! It is also an old man's luck to get to know Ziheng!"
Lu Fan Zhengse said: "I will definitely convey this, Lord Taifu, please take care! Li Dao Guo Yan's dictatorship is no less than Dong Zhuo!"
Ma Riyan sighed: "There are times in life that you must have it, and there is no time in life when you don't force it!"
Yuan Yao asked Lu Fan: "How can Taifu's festival ribbon be in your hands!"
Lu Fan smiled: "My subordinates are presumptuous, they don't want to embarrass the lord or the Taifu, so they made a fake one like that ribbon!"
Ji Ling was shocked: "When you sat in the last seat that day, when the lord took the ribbon to watch, he was at least fifty steps away from you, right? You can see clearly from such a distance? And the imitation deceived the eyes of Master Taifu?"
Lu Fan still smiled: "Yes, the subordinates' eyes can see everything within a hundred steps very clearly!"
Ji Ling said to Yuan Yao: "Lord, there is already a candidate to spy on Sun Ce, and there is no more qualified candidate than this Lu Fan!"
A few days later, Lu Fan came to Qu'a Sun Ce's army as a supervisor, and of course, all the family members of Sun Ce that Lu Fan secretly brought from Shouchun!
But at the same time, Ma Riyan's official ship also arrived at the boundary of Jingzhou, this day he took the scarf that Lu Fan gave him, how to see how it felt wrong, suddenly a big wave hit, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the scarf in his hand fell on the board of the boat and fell in half, Ma Riyan was sad, and actually saw a note inside: "Yuan Yao is also a wolf ambition, Master Taifu should leave as soon as possible, I am afraid that after a long time, Yuan Yao will have the heart of Lord Taifu!"
"Ziheng, you still don't know the old man, he made such a fake ribbon to save my life, but do you know that I might as well die now? The prestige of the Han family was trampled on by a prince like this, and what can the old man do!"
While he was thinking about it, the official ship arrived at a beautiful place, and he asked the boatman, "Where is this?"
The boatman looked at the surrounding scenery and said, "Lord Hui, it's the Luoluo River!"
"Luoluojiang?" Ma Riyan smiled bitterly, straightened his clothes, came to the stern of the boat, and jumped into the river.
Qu Yuan, I'm coming!
