A crack! Duan Kui, who had just stepped into the gate of the Duan Mansion, turned around and slapped him hard. But he thought about it again, and the people in the house were too talkative, and it was not appropriate to teach this unfilial son in public. So Duan Kui immediately suppressed his anger and shouted in a low voice at Duan Rong, "Follow me to the study." ”

Duan Rong covered his feverish cheeks, where did he dare to disobey his father again. When the two of them entered the study and closed the door, Duan Kui, who had already held his breath when he was in the Taishou Mansion, could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and directly picked up his crutches and pumped them at Duan Rong's calves, "Brute! Say! When did you commit adultery with Cai Ji's girl wolf bèi! ”

Duan Rong was beaten by his father, fell to his knees with a thud, and no longer did much to hide, and directly hissed his teeth about how he was tied up to Longkou Water Village that day and how he was coerced by Cai Ji and others to join the gang, and explained to his father one by one like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. Duan Kui was just sitting on the couch at first, listening to the scandalous things such as raising prostitutes and selling illicit salt. But when Duan Rong said that Cai Ji ordered the pirates to go to sea to rob the tribute ship of the Gaya Kingdom, Duan Kui's expression immediately changed, and Huo Ran got up and exclaimed! That girl let people rob the tribute ship of the Gaya? Then she dared to send a fleet to sea to trade with the country of Gayage! ”

"Back to my father, this time the pirates robbed the tribute ship and did not leave a living mouth, so Xiao Cai Fujun was not afraid of the Gaya Kingdom to investigate. In addition, the Gaya kingdom has lost its tribute ships, and it will be anxious to find people and trade in exchange for the goods it needs. When we go to sea to trade at this time, it can be said that we are in the middle of the Kaya country. Duan Rong lowered his head and replied confidently.

"First rob people's tribute ships, and then trade with people? What a thoughtful mind! What a vicious method! The old man really underestimated Cai Anzhen's girl! Duan Kui listened to the explanation, and laughed angrily and praised Cai Ji. But then he turned back and scolded bitterly, "You beast has listened to the witch's rhetoric and is willing to be a pawn for her?" Stupidity! How can you not think about it, if the news of the robbery of the tribute ship reaches the country of Gaya, your little life must not be planted in that wild land! ”

Duan Rong saw that although his father scolded fiercely, in the final analysis, he was still worried about his safety. So he immediately licked his dry lips and persuaded Duan Kui, "Father is angry, in fact, the child has never thought about the risk of going to the Gaya Kingdom. It's just that if the child didn't nod his head and agree at that time, the child's little life would have to be put on the spot in Longkou Village. ”

"Even if you are forced to do this, you have to pretend to do this. But when you return home, you can inform your father of this matter, and let your father think of countermeasures with you. Now you have to deceive your father together with outsiders, so that your father will be played around in the Taishou Mansion today. Now, what else do you beast have to say! The more he talked, the more angry Duan Kui kicked again.

However, although Duan Rong was kicked to the ground by his father this time, he quickly straightened up and raised his head and asked, "Father, forgive the child." Even if the child informed his father of the conspiracy of Cai Ji and the others at that time, what would the father do? ”

"Then you don't have to ask! The father will come forward to stop the witch. Duan Kui said without thinking.

"How to stop it?" Duan Rong didn't stop and said, "Right now, Cai Ji has the support of Tai Shi Ci and other martial artists. If my father took action against Cai Ji's girl, not to mention how Tai Shici would react, just the gang of pirates in Longkou Village would make trouble enough for our Duan family to drink a pot. ”

Duan Rong's words can be said to be directly in the weakness of his father Duan Kui. In fact, after the confrontation in the Taishou Mansion just now, Duan Kui also understood that Cai Ji had unknowingly established a large force in Donglai. Of course, Duan Kui can also use guò bribery, entrapment, and other means to break up the alliance between Cai Ji and the generals, but these methods need to be spent to be effective. And at this moment, Cai Ji just didn't deal with Duan Kui.

As Duan Rong said, even if Duan Kui knew in advance that Cai Ji planned to trade with Samhan, he would not be able to stop this girl. It must be known that Cai Ji had reached a tacit agreement with the pirates when he was ordered to rob the pirates. If Duan Kui came forward to stop Cai Ji, he would be fighting against the pirates. And there are only two choices in front of Duan Kui, either kill Cai Ji first and send troops to suppress the pirates; Either temporarily agree to the trade matter, secretly buy the pirates, and then kill Cai Ji. The former option is too risky, and Tai Shi Ci is very likely to be on Cai Ji's side, so if he doesn't get it, he will get into the entire Duan family. And the latter option, in essence, still did not stop Cai Ji. As the saying goes, there is no turning back from the bow, once Donglai sends a caravan to the sea to trade with the Gaya Kingdom, the ruler will inevitably use this to make a fuss and encourage everyone to take refuge in Yuan Shao. Is it necessary to take care of the unified killing when the time comes? In this way, wouldn't Yuan Shao be offended thoroughly.

Duan Kui pondered in his heart, and it was surprising that Cai Ji not only had the army to help him now, but also inadvertently tied Yuan Shao as his backing, which made people have to cast a rat against him. In addition, Cai Ji has always been cautious, with Tai Shici's support on the outside, and Zhang Qing, Li Da and other strong men guarding her, it is not easy to kill her. And if Duan Kui mishandles this matter, it is very likely that he will be eaten by the other party. After all, that girl has even done such ruthless things as killing people and stealing goods, and there is no reason why she will not slaughter and destroy households in order to protect herself.

In short, the more Duan Kui thought about it, the shorter he became, and the more he didn't dare to rashly move Cai Ji. After all, Duan Kui, the head of the clan, was not an outlaw, and he couldn't use the lives of the Duan family to gamble on a gamble that didn't have a good chance of winning. But seeing Donglai become a vassal of the Yuan clan in the next step of Cai Ji's conspiracy with Guan Tong, Duan Kui couldn't help but stumble to the ground, beating his chest and wailing, "Woe! Woe to you! Donglai is going to have a big disaster! It's all the old man's fault. It's the old man who doesn't distinguish loyalty and goodness, and lures wolves into the house! ”

Duan Rong originally just wanted his father to recognize the situation, but he thought that his father would have such a big reaction after thinking about it for a long time. So he hurriedly stepped forward and patted Duan Kui on the back, and asked puzzledly, "Where did my father say that?" Although trading with Samhan may offend Gongsun Du. But we can join the general Yuan Shao and ask him to protect Donglai. ”

Duan Kui stopped and gave a dry howl and said, "You understand! It is true that Yuan Shao can provide protection for Donglai. But once Donglai recognizes Yuan Shao as the master, he has to pay tribute to him. Not only that, Yuan Shaoxing's soldiers recruited dissidents, and Donglai also had to help them. With Yuan Shao's ambitions, he will have to fight in the south and north in the future. How could Donglai be poor and weak to endure such a toss. ”

Duan Rong heard his father say this, but he smiled disapprerovingly, "It turns out that my father is worried about this matter. The child thinks that Donglai's current refuge in Yuan Shao has more advantages than disadvantages. Donglai is adjacent to the Central Plains, and it is inevitable to spend money to eliminate disasters. As for sending troops to help in the war, my father had also taught his children before that they should deal with the princes. Donglai is far away from Jizhou, and it is not up to us to decide whether to fight or not at that time. What's more, at present, Donglai Wu has the prince Yi, and the text has Cai Anzhen, and if he really wants to send troops to Donglai, it may not hurt his muscles and bones. ”

"Hugh has to mention Cai Ji's demon girl again!" Duan Kui let out a loud shout and interrupted his words, "My father is blind to be blinded by this demon girl who eats inside and out!" For the sake of Donglai. This girl has colluded with Guan Tong's guy from the beginning to seek Donglai for Yuan Shao! ”

"Father means that Chae Ji did not seek trade with Samhan to seek refuge with Yuan Shao, but deliberately to trade with Samhan in order to seek refuge with Yuan Shao?" Duan Rong asked in surprise.

"Needless to say. If the father hadn't guessed, this woman had planned today's events since the Zhao'an pirates. It's only because her father was too keen to take in the homeless people at the beginning, which gave this woman an opportunity to lay out such a big picture. Duan Kui's words were somewhat of an afterthought. However, while he was annoyed and negligent, he also had to admit that Cai Ji acted too quickly, and in just three months, he set up a dark situation by himself. During the period, it is also necessary to intersperse the promotion of waterwheels and other things to attract everyone's attention. Therefore, Duan Kui called Cai Ji a demon girl, on the one hand, it has the meaning of abuse, and on the other hand, it also refers to her wisdom and almost demon.

However, Duan Rong listened to his father's analysis, not only did he hate Cai Ji, but he was even more determined to stand in the same boat with Cai Ji and the others. It is said that although Duan Rong has a unique set of views on business, he does not have a long-term vision in politics. Therefore, in Duan Rong's opinion, since Cai Ji is so powerful and Yuan Shao is so powerful, of course, the Duan family should take refuge in the strong, rather than against the strong. Therefore, he should persuade his father to stop his anger. Yuan Shao is powerful to provide protection for Donglai. Xiao Cai Fujun's move is indeed for the sake of Donglai. ”

Duan Kui saw that he had said so much, but he still persuaded Yuan Shao to take refuge and excuse Cai Ji everywhere, so he couldn't help but sigh and said. Thou hast grown up to be an adult. Whether it is good or bad, you decide for yourself. For the sake of the father, I can't stop you from waiting for the future to be born and have a great cause. You just need to remember that no matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to implicate the Duan family. ”

After saying that, Duan Kui got up and left it, leaving the study without looking back with a full stomach full of melancholy. After Duan Rong, who was left alone in the room, recalled the words left by the old man, his heart suddenly flooded with ambition. Because he is completely free from his father's shackles from today, he can let the birds fly in the sky and the fish swim in the wide sea.

And since this day, Duan Kui has indeed been as he said, staying at home on the grounds of physical discomfort and no longer interfering in the affairs of the yamen. Seeing this, the management commander was naturally happy to push the boat along the water, and on the one hand, he completely accepted the power vacuum left by the Yuankui, and on the other hand, urged Cai Ji to organize a caravan to sail to the country of Gaya in exchange for grain and grass to pay tribute to Yuan Shao. Although Cai Ji was deeply surprised by Duan Kui's sudden withdrawal, he still appointed Duan Rong as a special envoy according to the plan, and asked him to organize a fleet to send to the country of Gaya. On the other hand, Cai Ji asked Zhang Qing to secretly send someone to monitor the Duan Mansion, in case Duan Kui Na Lao'er took advantage of everyone's busy time to make up some moths.

In August of the first year of Xingping, after some intensive preparations, Duan Rong finally pulled a caravan with three merchant ships and set sail for the country of Gaya. However, since it is the Han Dynasty at the moment, and Duan Rong is sending an envoy to Fanbang as an official, Cai Ji naturally has to act according to the tributary system. Just as the ruler of each city-state of Samhan was given a seal issued by Gongsun Du, representing his right to trade with the four Han counties. Cai Ji also painted a gourd and asked people to create several jade plaques as a tribute certificate, and ordered Duan Rong to distribute them to the city lords of the three city-states. This is to highlight the official background of the Dongnae caravan, and the second is to attract the Sanhan fleet to trade with Dongnae.

Of course, during this period, Cai Ji did not relax his management of the side business. No, Duan Rong's caravan only went out on the front foot, and Cai Ji on the back foot once again ordered the Donglai Navy to go hunting in Jianghua Bend in the name of patrolling the sea. And just when Cai Ji was full of ambition and did not make a mistake in his business, a big battle that was recorded in history on the land of Yanzhou, which had just been swept away by the locust plague, was slowly kicking off.

It is said that after six or seven months of rest, Lu Bu sent a team of men and horses to the west of Puyang to lure Cao's army out of the city according to Chen Gong's strategy. Sure enough, that night, Cao Cao led his troops to attack and defeated all of Lu Bu's lure troops. And just when Cao Cao was about to withdraw his troops, Lu Bu, who had been waiting for a long time, personally led his troops to intercept him. The two sides have been fighting until the sun is in the west since the early morning, and it is difficult to tell the winner from the outcome.

Under the blood-colored sunset, Lu Bu carried Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, straddled the red rabbit BMW, and while watching his subordinates surround Cao's army, he laughed at Chen Gong beside him and said, "Military advisor, it seems that we don't need your strategy, we can encircle and annihilate Cao Cao today." ”

However, Chen Gong looked up at the sun that was about to sink in the west, shook his head and said, "It's getting late, please also ask the lord to act according to the plan and withdraw his troops back to the city." ”

Lu Bu'er, who was so killed, heard that Chen Gong wanted him to withdraw his troops, and couldn't help but say hurriedly, "The military advisor's words are wrong. The sun hasn't set yet. Thou shalt give me another hour, and I will personally charge and swear to behead Cao Cao under his horse. ”

But as soon as Lu Bu's words fell, he heard a commotion in front of him. Seeing this, Lu Bu couldn't help frowning and shouted, "What's the noise!" ”

After a while, a pawn rushed to report, "My lord, there is a halberd-wielding warrior in the Cao army's array who led hundreds of dead soldiers to attack our formation. ”

"Hmph, the grasshopper still wants to jump after the autumn! Wait for me to go and take its head! Lu Buyan said that he would go into battle in person.

Unbeknownst to him, Chen Gong grabbed the reins of the red rabbit and said in a deep voice to Lu Bu, "The lord is slow." The sky will be dark, which is not conducive to field battles, and any further entanglement of our army with Cao's army will only increase casualties. Moreover, today, our army has defeated the spirit of Cao's army, and its goal has been achieved. The palace implored the lord to act according to the plan. ”

Lu Bu looked at the military formation not far away that had been dispersed by the dead soldiers of the Cao army, and then looked at the Chen Palace with a sincere face in front of him, and finally he waved his halberd and ordered Dao Mingjin to withdraw his troops! ”

In the battle, Dian Wei, a strong soldier of the Cao army, held an iron halberd in his hand, shouted and rushed into the enemy formation, and the soldiers of the Lu army fell where he arrived. Lü Bu then ordered the whole army to retreat, and Cao Cao was able to open a bloody road and lead the army back to the camp. The battle of Puyang Chengxi seems to have ended in a dead end. However, for Lu Bujun, the real battle of Puyang has just begun.
