Chapter 152: Yuan Jing's Descendants
Strategist Yuan Zhou's volunteering made Ou Xing agree immediately.
"Okay, okay, then please sir, you must win that Liu Zheng over, if he can win the battle to help us, I can accept the conditions he proposed, and even cede a piece of land to them in this Mingyue Cottage for temporary recuperation."
After Ou Xing realized Yuan Zhou's words, he immediately took a step back and gave Yuan Zhou the biggest concession in his heart.
And after Yuan Zhou had Ou Xing's words, he also had hole cards, and knew how to negotiate with Liu Zheng, so he didn't talk to Ou Xing much at the moment, and left directly, and went to chase Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng and the others came down from the cottage, and the boatman who was waiting there before was really there.
Seeing that Liu Zheng and the others came down so quickly, he was also surprised and hurriedly asked.
"Hey, why did you come back so soon?"
"Naturally, I didn't talk about the things I talked about with that district star."
Liu Zheng looked at the boatman and said to the boatman with a smile.
"I don't think you can talk about it, the stars in this district rely on their own strength, and their reputation in our generation is not good, many of our villages have been robbed by him, and even now they have to pay rent to him, and the people are miserable."
"And such things? Aren't you going to pay rent to the court? Why do you have to pay rent to that district star? ”
The boatman sighed.
"Alas, our Yichun is a small place, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court can't cover it at all, and the rent collected by the imperial court can't be collected from us at all, but Ou Xing is different, Ou Xing is the king of the mountain here, we can ignore the rent collectors of the imperial court, but we can't ignore the people of Ou Xing, that guy knows everything about us."
"It seems that you here, you don't know Emperor Han, but you know District Star."
"Isn't it, there are many complaints, they are all forced by the stars in that district, but we are willing to be ruled by the imperial court."
"Yes, there will be a chance in the future."
Liu Zheng looked at the boatman with a smile and did not continue to say more.
The boatman was also interested, and immediately began to untie the rope that was helping the boat, and planned to continue the boat and leave.
But at this time, the ship had not left, and from the Mingyue cottage, a person hurriedly ran down.
"Stay! Liu Zhengqu Shuai, please stay! ”
Yuan Zhou hurriedly ran down the mountain, and when he saw that the ship was about to leave, he immediately shouted loudly, wanting Liu Zheng to stay.
Liu Zheng was about to let the boatman leave, but when he saw the strategist running down the mountain, he immediately asked the boatman to stop the boat again.
"Stop for a moment and see what the man has to say."
Liu Zheng asked the boatman to stop the boat, and Yuan Zhou ran over from afar, running in a hurry, panting and coming to Liu Zheng.
"Liu Zhengqu is handsome, I can be regarded as catching up with you."
"This gentleman, the head of your family doesn't talk to me, what are you still doing with me?"
Liu Zheng looked at this strategist with interest, speaking of which, Liu Zheng didn't have much of a good impression of Ou Xing, but he still had a good impression of this strategist, after all, people had been speaking for him in front of Ou Xing.
It's all because Ou Xing's guy didn't listen to persuasion, otherwise with the matchmaking of this strategist, he might be able to negotiate some cooperation with Ou Xing.
Strategist Yuan Zhou looked around, then at Liu Zheng, and after a while, he said a word.
"Is Liu Zhengqu Shuai planning to return to Yichun County?"
"Well, since there is no room for me here, why stay here."
"Would you mind letting me get on the boat?"
Yuan Zhou looked at Liu Zheng in an inquiring tone, and seemed to have something to say.
Liu Zheng heard what Yuan Zhou meant, probably had something to say, it was not easy to say here, and he wanted to leave with Liu Zheng, find a quiet place, a place suitable for talking about things, and then sit down and talk slowly.
"What's the point, please."
Liu Zheng stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Yuan Zhou was not polite, and immediately strode up.
"Sir, we've met a few times, and I don't know Mr.'s name, can you tell me?"
Regarding this strategist, although Liu Zheng has communicated with him several times, he has never been clear about the other party's name, so he has some curiosity.
If the other party is also a historical celebrity, it will be too surprising to Liu Zheng, so I want to hear what the other party's name is and see if I have any impressions.
"Oh, I almost forgot, in Xia Yuanzhou, a local in Yichun."
"Yuan Zhou?"
After Liu Zheng heard the name of this strategist, he immediately searched in his mind, but it seems that during the Three Kingdoms period, there was no celebrity named Yuan Zhou.
There are many people with the surname Yuan, such as the Yuan family of Runan of the fourth and third dukes. Protégés are all over the world.
Liu Zheng really has no impression of the name Yuan Zhou, after all, this person may really have some talents, but after the failure of the uprising in history, Ou Xing must have been killed by Sun Jian along with Ou Xing.
Where can we leave a name in history?
However, at this time, most of the surnames Yuan were related to the Yuan family of the Fourth and Third Dukes, and Liu Zheng couldn't help but ask Yuan Zhou.
"Your surname is Yuan, what does it have to do with the Runan Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes?"
As soon as Liu Zheng said about the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Zhou's face was slightly unpleasant, but he quickly explained to Liu Zheng.
"Speaking of which, I am also a member of the Yuan family, but a few decades ago, the ancestors had already left the Yuan family and came to this Yichun County to live in seclusion.
Liu Zheng vaguely remembered that the county seat of Yichun in later generations became Yuanzhou, which seemed to be to commemorate a celebrity named Yuan Jing. He also built a park in the center of the city dedicated to Yuan Jing for a few years, and it is said that he was buried in that mountainous area.
That Yuan Jing seems to be a person from the late Han Dynasty.
"So, you are a descendant of Yuan Jing Gaoshi?"
Although Liu Zheng remembered that there was such a person as Yuan Jing, he didn't know much about Yuan Jing, but he just remembered that Yuan Jing seemed to be the great-grandfather of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others.
When Yuan Zhou heard that Liu Zheng actually knew Yuan Jing, a smile appeared on his face. responded immediately.
"Yuan Jing is my grandfather."
"Grandfather, so this guy is still the distant uncle of Yuan Shao and the others?"
When Liu Zheng heard this, he muttered in his heart, and immediately clarified the relationship between them.
"The fourth generation and the third duke of the Yuan family are all masters, and Mr. Yuan Zhou is also talented, which is really a blessing."
Liu Zheng immediately touted it, although this person is not famous in history, but after all, he is a descendant of Yuan Jing, and Liu Zheng will give some face.
"Liu Zhengqu Shuai is not polite, I have already made a clear connection with the Runan Yuan family, and those people from the Runan Yuan family will not recognize us distant relatives, after all, my grandfather Yuan Jing once left the family and went to Yichun to live in seclusion, but I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the Yuan family."
