Chapter 186: Marriage Proposal

The next day, Lin Nan dismissed all the old and weak in the Yellow Turban Army and returned to his hometown, ordering them to live in peace and not rebel. At the same time, for tens of thousands of young and strong elites, Han Zhong and Zhao Hong were ordered to continue to lead, set up camp on the side of the camp, and ordered Yu Ban to be responsible for drills.

At the same time, Lin Nan was also busy sending a battalion of special forces to Yecheng Zhen's house to transport grain, an army of nearly 100,000 people, and it would not work without grain and grass.

After a busy day, Yiqiē finally settled down, but the sky also darkened. Helpless, Lin Nan had no choice but to enter the city again tomorrow to see Qingzhou Thorn Shi Kongyi.

This Qingzhou Thorn Shi Kong Yi is the elder brother of Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, with a gentle temperament, filial piety, literary talent, and good knowledge of music and rhythm, and he is also a great Confucian in the world who is as famous as Kong Rong.

It's a pity that most of the great Confucians at that time didn't know anything about martial arts, and Kong Yi was naturally no exception. So, Xiucai met the soldiers, and they were surrounded in the city with no reason and inexplicability.

A few days after the distress letter was sent, Kong Yi finally looked forward to the Bingzhou army, so he had a bottom in his heart and was no longer afraid.

However, the next day, as soon as he heard the noise outside the city, Kong Yi was shocked again, thinking that the two armies were at war.

So, Kong Yi led his men to climb the city. But when he took a closer look at the city, Kong Yi couldn't help but be stunned on the spot: What happened to these yellow turban thieves, how could they surrender without a fight? What's wrong with this Lin Ziyang, how can he co-opt these yellow turban thieves?

After staying for a long time, seeing that the Bingzhou army was very busy, Kong Yi expected that Lin Ziyang would not enter the city today. So, leading his subordinates, Kong Yi returned to his assassination mansion depressed.

The next day, Kong Yi finally heard a report from the soldiers defending the city: Hou Hou, the champion of the Han Dynasty, the general of the expedition to the north. And the state of the assassin history, Lin Nan Lin Ziyang asked to enter the city.

Thereupon. Kong Yi hurriedly led his subordinates out of the city to greet him.

As soon as he left the city gate, a young general with white armor and white robes and white horses came into Kong Yi's eyes. Wait until you get closer. Kong Yi was surprised to find that behind this white horse general, there was actually a white horse general, and the armor of the two of them was the same, but the person at the head was a little more bookish, but the person behind him was murderous.

So, Kong Yi expected that the young general headed by Lin Nan was. When he came closer, Kong Yi gave a salute and said: "In Xia Qingzhou, Kong Yi Kong Wenxi, I don't know which one is Lord Lin. ”

As soon as he saw that the forty-year-old scribe in front of him was Kong Yi, the assassin of Qingzhou, Lin Nan hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Down is Lin Nan Lin Ziyang, Master Kong personally went out of the city to greet him, and Nan was very moved." ”

Kong Yi bowed to Shi Li again and said: "If it weren't for Lord Lin, Qingzhou would probably be ruined, and my gratitude is really indescribable." ”

Lin Nan smiled: "Master Kong is polite. As a courtier of the Han Dynasty, it is within his duty to share worries for the country. Moreover, Nan and the palace of Lord Kong are ministers, so they should take care of each other. ”

Lin Nan finished speaking. Kong Yi said gratefully: "Ziyang is righteous, I admire it, Ziyang please enter the city." Thank you again below. ”

After being slightly polite to Kong Yi, Lin Nan rode into the city with Kong Yi.

Entered the Assassin's Mansion. After the guests were seated, Lin Nan introduced Zhao Yun and Jia Xu and Guo Jia to Kong Yi.

Kong Yi saw that Lin Nan's subordinates were all ready for ministers and brave generals. I can't help but think about it.

While talking about poetry with Kong Yi, Lin Nan also asked for some grain and grass.

After eating, drinking, and feasting, Lin Nan and everyone returned to the military camp outside the city.

The next day, Lin Nan made up his mind and led Zhao Yun and Jia Xu Guo Jia to visit Kong Yi.

However, as soon as Lin Nan entered the Assassination Mansion, Kong Yi pulled Lin Nan and said, "Ziyang, you came just in time, I was about to send someone to invite you, look at this." With that, Kong Yi handed a letter to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan took it and took a look, it turned out that a Yellow Turban Army general named Zang Ba led tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops to surround Beihai, and Beihai Taishou Kong Rong asked for rescue.

So, Lin Nan said: "Don't worry, Lord Kong, the south will lead the troops to Beihai." ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Kong Yi hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you Ziyang for that." ”

Here, he said politely, and Lin Nan turned around and left.

Staying in the forbidden and leading the reserve army to guard the camp, Lin Nan led the guards and galloped towards the North Sea.

Pro. Zi was very close to Beihai, so two hours later, Lin Nan's army arrived at Beihai City.

As soon as he saw that the state army had arrived, Zang Ba reorganized his soldiers and waited for them.

The two armies faced each other, and when he saw the military momentum of the Yellow Turban Army, Lin Nan couldn't help but diǎn his head, turned his head to Jia Xu and said, "This Zang Ba seems to be a talent." ”

Jia Xu also said: "The formation is strict, the soldiers are mighty, and the murderous spirit is soaring, it can be seen that this person knows the art of war." ”

Lin Nandao: "Such a general, it's a pity to kill him, wait for me to move him with words and make him surrender." ”

So, when Zhao Yun and the others had finished arranging, Lin Nan drove to the front of the two armies.

"General Zang Ba, please step forward and answer." Lin Nan said loudly to the Yellow Turban Army's large array.

Seeing a strange cart carrying a young general to the front of the battle, Zang Ba was very strange, and when he heard that he was going to ask himself to come forward to answer, Zang Ba was even more surprised, but after all, Zang Ba was also very courageous, so he slapped the horse and carried the knife, and Zang Ba came to Lin Nan.

Seeing a general in the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, Lin Nan expected that this person should be Zang Ba.

So, when the general came closer, Lin Nan clenched his fists and said: "In Xia Lin Nan Lin Ziyang, I don't know if Your Excellency is General Zang Ba?" ”

The general also clasped his fists and replied: "It is Zang Ba Zang Xuangao below, I don't know what the adults have to call Zang Ba forward?" ”

"There is actually a table, yes, it's really not an ordinary yellow turban thief." Lin Nan thought secretly.

After Zang Ba finished speaking, Lin Nan said: "I don't dare to take orders, but I have a few questions I want to ask the general." ”

"Don't dare to ask for advice, if the adults have anything to say, even if they say it bluntly, they will listen to it." Seeing that Lin Nan spoke in a very polite tone, Zang Ba also replied politely.

Lin Nandao: "Dare to ask Xuan Gao, why did Xuan Gao get into trouble?" ”

Hearing Lin Nan ask this, Zang Ba was stunned at the time, because he had never thought about this question.

So, Zang Ba thought about it and said: "It's for the people of Li and the people of the world." ”

"Good!" Zang Ba finished speaking. Lin Nan praised.

Immediately, Lin Nan said: "I know that Xuangao has benevolence and righteousness. Concerned about the world, he didn't meet with Xuangao's sword soldiers. Now Nan asks again: Xuan Gao thinks. Zhang Jiao is the master of the world? ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Zang Ba felt a dilemma in his heart: tell the truth, it is disrespectful to the lord; Don't tell the truth, it's not a gentleman's doing. Because judging from Zhang Jiao's incident to the present, Zhang Jiao is also a speculator, and he has never thought about the people at all. Therefore, Zang Ba thought for a long time, and didn't know how to answer Lin Nan.

Seeing that Zang Ba was silent for a long time, Lin Nan said: "I know what Xuangao thinks in his heart. Therefore, Nan will speak bluntly for Xuan Gao: Zhang Jiao is not the master of the world, but just a person who disturbs the world. ”

As soon as he heard Lin Nan say this, Zang Ba's face was quite displeased.

And Lin Nan didn't pay attention to Zang Ba's expression, but continued: "Nan asked Xuan Gao one last question: Xuan Gao thinks that in today's battle, does Xuan Gao have a chance of winning?" ”

Zang Ba thought about it, then carefully looked at the large array of the state army, and shook his head.

Lin Nandao: "Xuangao really has the south of the gentleman. It's not in vain that I spend my tongue, and the south wants to join forces with Xuangao to calm the world, I don't know what Xuangao thinks? ”

Hearing Lin Nan say this. Zang Ba understood Lin Nan's intentions, and after thinking for a while, Zang Ba said: "I know Lord Lin's ability to tolerate people. I also know that Lord Lin is talented in governing the world, but. After all, Ba was born in the Yellow Turban Thief, and he is afraid that he will be ashamed of the people under the command of adults. ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Xuan Gao's words are wrong. Nanzhi employs people, but only talents, never cares about background, besides, among the generals in the state, there are also many people who are born recklessly, why should the real hero talk about the source, how can the husband care about the false name? How could Xuan Gao be so ignorant? ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Zang Ba couldn't help but blush, very embarrassed.

Immediately, Zang Ba turned over and dismounted, bowed under the car, and said loudly: "Zang Ba is willing to follow the lord to the death, and he has no regrets in his life." ”

Seeing Zang Ba's surrender, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel happy, and hurriedly got out of the car to help Zang Ba and said: "Nan has to be Xuangao, it's really like a tiger with wings." ”

After Zang Ba surrendered, Lin Nan hurriedly reorganized the men and horses of Zang Ba's department, dismissed the old and weak, and organized the young and strong, until the sunset in the West Mountain, Lin Nan was busy.

Watching the sun go down, Lin Nan had to wait until tomorrow to visit Kong Rong.

As soon as he heard that the state army had arrived, Kong Rong hurriedly climbed to the top of the city to inspect the reality.

Seeing that Zang Ba actually surrendered, and Lin Nan actually organized the Yellow Turban Thief, Kong Rong was also very depressed, but when he saw that Lin Nan was very busy, Kong Rong had to go back to the house first.

The next day, leaving Zhang He, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Zang Ba to guard the camp, Lin Nan led Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia to visit Kong Rong, after all, not long after Lin Nan first came to this plane, Kong Rong had a favor for him, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei, as Lin Nan's personal generals, naturally followed behind Lin Nan.

When he came to the city gate, he identified himself to the soldiers guarding the city, and after a while, he saw Kong Rong leading a group of people out of the city.

When Kong Rong came closer, Lin Nan hurriedly dismounted and said, "Lin Nan has seen Master Kong. ”

As soon as he saw Lin Nan actually saluting himself first, Kong Rong also hurriedly dismounted and returned the salute and said: "Zicheng is polite, I haven't seen Zicheng for several years, and Zicheng is now famous in the world." ”

Lin Nandao: "Although several years have passed, Master Kong's demeanor is still the same. ”

As soon as he heard Lin Nan say this, Kong Rong said ashamedly: "If it weren't for Zicheng today, I'm afraid Beihai City would have already turned into powder, how can we talk about the same style?" ”

Seeing Kong Rong so lost, Lin Nan hurriedly persuaded: "Master Kong doesn't have to be like this, there are thieves everywhere, it is not something you and I can predict, but fortunately, the rebellion will cease, and there is no way to go." ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Kong Rong smiled and said: "It's really rude to be here, Zicheng, please come into the mansion for a while." ”

So the two men mounted their horses and rode into the city.

When he arrived at the Taishou Mansion, Lin Nan was surprised to find that Xu Gan and Wang Xiu were actually present.

It turned out that as soon as he heard that Lin Nan was finally going to enter the city to visit him, Kong Rong hurriedly sent someone to invite Xu Gan and Wang Xiu, after all, when Lin Nan walked in Beihai, the two of them had sung poems and sang harmony with Lin Nan.

As soon as they saw Lin Nan coming, the two hurriedly got up and saluted.

Lin Nan returned the salute and said: "The two of you are Nan's old people, how can you be so polite." ”

Xu Gan said: "Now it's different from the past, in the past, Lord Lin was just a traveling bachelor, but now Lord Lin is the champion of the Han Dynasty, so how can we be so lazy." ”

Lin Nan smiled: "Wei Chang's words are serious. No matter how rich and glorious Nan is in the future, but the love of the deceased. The righteousness of friends, Nan will never forget jì. So. Wei Chang is so polite today, Nan is very uneasy in his heart, Nan introduces Wei Chang as a confidant, but Wei Chang refuses to be thousands of miles away, so how should Nan deal with himself? ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Xu Gan saluted again and said: "Zicheng is open-minded, I can't do it, and I can't say anything." Don't blame Wangzi City. ”

Lin Nan smiled: "Wei Chang is polite. ”

After a few people sat down, they talked about the world's major events again.

Kong Rong sighed: "Now that there are thieves everywhere, the society is in danger, and it is really scary to become a parent official." ”

Lin Nandao: "The officials forced the people to rebel, and the people had to rebel, so the court and officials of the Han Dynasty should reflect on it." ”

Hearing Lin Nan say this, Kong Rong couldn't help but be shocked. Immediately, Kong Rong sighed again: "Although the world is chaotic, the state is peaceful, which shows that the talent of Zicheng is the best in the sea." ”

Lin Nan smiled: "Master Kong has an overreputation. The state has used foreign troops for many years, and the people have no leisure to rebel at all. And, the state was ruled for four years. The system is reasonable, and the officials are honest. How can the people rebel when they are rich? ”

Kong Rong diǎn head said: "Ruozicheng's new policy can be promoted throughout the Han Dynasty. The great Han River will be immortal for thousands of years. ”

Lin Nan thought for a while, and then said: "If Nan implements a new policy in Beihai, can Master Kong support it?" ”

Kong Rong smiled: "I can't ask for it. ”

Seeing that Kong Rong was so enthusiastic, Lin Nan got up and saluted and said, "Then Nan will thank Kong Taishou first." ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Kong Rong said seriously: "I just don't know how Zicheng plans to implement the new policy?" ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "In a few days, Master Kong will know." ”

After having a meal in the Confucian Mansion, Lin Nan returned to the army. Zi.

As soon as he settled down, the next day, Lin Nan led Zhao Yun, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia to meet Kong Yi.

Seeing that Lin Nan led himself to meet Kong Yi every time, but did not bring Tai Shici and other generals, Zhao Yun was very strange, but Lin Nan didn't say anything, and Zhao Yun didn't want to ask much.

After the mutual salute was completed, Lin Nan said: "Now that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rebellion has been put down, Nan plans to return to the army Guangzong tomorrow." I came here today to bid farewell to Master Kong. ”

As soon as he heard that Lin Nan was leaving, Kong Yi hurriedly got up and said: "Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Qingzhou is peaceful, the thieves in Yanzhou and Xuzhou are still rampant, and the thieves are good at wandering around and looting. ”

Lin Nan smiled: "Then Nan will come back again, after all, Nan can't always stay in Qingzhou." ”

Let Zicheng run back and forth, Yi was very uneasy. Why don't you leave a soldier and horse here in Zicheng? ”

Hearing Kong Yi say this, Lin Nan couldn't help but be happy in his heart: he was finally on the road.

So, Lin Nan said in embarrassment: "The deployment of the south is all soldiers and horses from the state, and it seems that there is something wrong with staying in Qingzhou to suppress bandits, and the border of the state is not stable." ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Kong Yi hurriedly said: "It's okay, Yi can appoint him as the captain of Qingzhou, so it is justified." Besides, there are five armies of elite troops in Zicheng: Dragoon, Wolf Cavalry, Bear Storm, Tiger Ben, and Flying Locust, so why not leave one army here? ”

Lin Nan thought about it, then said, "Okay, let the dragoons stay in Lin. Zi bar. ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Zhao Yun was very puzzled, how could the eldest brother leave the elite troops of Bingzhou here to suppress bandits? This is also too big to overkill.

At the same time, Jia Xu and Guo Jia were also thinking about Lin Nan's intentions in doing this, because Jia Xu knew that Lin Nan had always been far-sighted and could count things in one fell swoop, so Jia Xu expected that Lin Nan must have some other tricks that he hadn't used.

When Kong Yi heard Lin Nan say this, he was immediately very moved, and hurriedly said to Lin Nan Shili: "Thank you Zicheng for that." Tomorrow, I will appoint Zilong as the captain of Qingzhou, responsible for the military affairs of the entire territory of Qingzhou. ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Master Kong is polite, they both serve the imperial court, so why not share each other." ”

Immediately, Lin Nan said: "Nan heard that Master Kong has a daughter, named Xin'er, twenty-eight years old, dignified and talented, the first strange woman in Qingzhou, I don't know if I have ever promised to be married?" ”

As soon as she heard Lin Nan praise her daughter, Kong Yi also smiled proudly: "Zicheng praised it, who doesn't know that Mrs. Cai's talent is amazing and she is a generation of beauty." ”

Then, Kong Yi said: "The little girl is not allowed to marry others, I don't know why Zicheng asked this?" ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "This is very good, my brother Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong have not yet married a wife, so Nan wants to ask Master Kong for marriage on behalf of Zilong." ”

As soon as Lin Nan said this, the people in the room were stunned.

As soon as he heard that he was going to propose marriage, Zhao Yun bowed his head and said nothing with an embarrassed face, Jia Xu suddenly brightened up, smiling and silent, but Guo Jia's eyes were stunned and dazed.

Kong Yi thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "This, this ......"

Seeing that Kong Yi was silent for a long time, Lin Nan said, "Could it be that Master Kong has something unspeakable?" ”

Kong Yi shook his head and said, "No, no." ”

"Then Master Kong just thinks that my brother is not worthy of Ling's daughter?"

"No, no." Kong Yi hurriedly said again. "It's just that Zicheng mentioned it too suddenly, let me think about it."

After speaking, Kong Yi lowered his head again and pondered silently.

After a while, Kong Yi suddenly raised his head and said, "Zicheng, let's discuss with the little girl tonight, and give Zicheng an answer tomorrow, how about it?" ”

Lin Nan thought about it, and then said helplessly: "Okay, then Nan will come to visit Master Kong again tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Lin Nan led Zhao Yun and the others to leave. (To be continued.) )
