Chapter 50: Dong Lao's Three Cries (I)
Huge thunder fell from the sky, causing the Yellow River to burst, countless Yanzhou soldiers and civilians died in the flood, hundreds of thousands of Yanzhou people were displaced and Cao Cao's whereabouts were unknown This series of news was almost simultaneously sent to Kang Peng and Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao, who was hesitating whether to send troops to attack Dong Zhuojun's flank, first danced happily and celebrated the opening of the sky's eyes, so that Cao Cao, who had lost half a catty of meat on his buttocks, suffered this retribution! Then Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and Xu You, who resolutely supported the formation of the second anti-Dong alliance, were called and scolded, and prepared to withdraw from the second anti-Dong alliance.
"As early as when the thief was in Luoyang, he often had a heart of disobedience, relying on the little merit of the Ping Yellow Turban, he was flying and domineering, and the Taishi Dong treated him like a nephew, but he was wolf-hearted and tried to kill the Taishi under the pretense of offering a knife." In the Yecheng meeting hall, Yuan Shao was full of energy, as if he had won a big battle, and said with spittle: "Fortunately, Dong Taishi is safe, and the Cao thief falsely passed on the holy decree to deceive the princes to crusade against Dong Taishi, causing the world to fight and the lives of the people were ruined, and finally the princes were captured. The most hateful thing is that he actually robbed the auspicious god seed given by heaven, so that in addition to Yong, and Erzhou, there is no place in the world where the god seed can sprout, and there are countless crimes. Well, this time, his retribution came, and a huge thunder fell from the sky and drowned him. ”
Yuan Shao scolded Cao Cao there, but Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others were sad, Cao Cao's army was greatly injured, and the anti-Dong alliance broke off the backbone, and it was about to die, and the lord was still there thinking about old hatreds and attacking allies, when Dong Zhuojun's minions were raised, what could he resist?
"Don't say anything, quit the alliance right away." After a long time, his throat was dry, and Yuan Shao finally ended his tirade and concluded: "Immediately send someone to the cousin Dong Taishi, and the two families will be reconciled, so as to ensure the long-term peace and stability of my governor of Ji." "Yuan Shao's advisers are divided into two factions, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and Xu Yu are advocating and uniting against Dong, but judging and Guo Tu are advocating friendship with Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao has been swinging between the two factions for a long time, and now that the allies have been hit hard, Yuan Shao immediately fell to the Lord and the Lord, so as not to provoke the fire.
"My lord, don't do that." The first one objected: "Dong thief is the nature of a tiger and wolf, now he is in Chang'an to recuperate, if he does not move, it will hurt, even if his strength is now above the princes, neither party is able to fight against it alone, if the grant is good, then Dong thief against Cao Cao, just to destroy the alliance against him, to gain development time, after a year or two, even after this autumn, then Dong thief has enough strength to fight on two fronts, one attack and one defense, open up territory." ”
Xu You also arched his hand and said: "My lord, the only way to do this is to rescue Cao Cao immediately, preserve his last trace of strength, consolidate the alliance against Dong, and go all out to resist Dong, which is the long-term plan." ”
Yuan Shao's face sank suddenly, because of stealing the bride when he was a child, he had always hated Cao Cao, and this time he didn't stab Cao Cao in the back was already an explosion of character, and he had to rescue Cao Cao, which was simply whimsical.
Seeing that Yuan Shao's face was not good, the judge immediately stood up and reprimanded Xu You: "Bold, Cao thief robbed the auspicious god seed, and as a result, a huge thunder fell from the sky to split the dam of the Yellow River, and he has been punished by heaven. Do you want to drag down the lord and be punished by God? ”
Before the words of the trial fell, Tian Feng immediately retorted: "The lord also has a divine seed auspicious in his hand, and he was also robbed by force, but why did God punish Cao Cao alone?" The giant thunder only splits the south bank of the Yellow River, not the north bank? In my opinion, there is something strange about the huge thunder falling from the sky, why not split it early or late, but when the Dong thief returned to Chang'an, and when the second anti-Dong alliance had just been reached? Is there such a coincidence in the world? If it doesn't work, Dong Thief did it, digging the Yellow River dam to flood Yanzhou, and blaming Cao Cao under the pretense of the Mandate of Heaven. ”
Guo Tuna, who has always been at odds with Tian Feng, can make Tian Feng proud, and without waiting for Yuan Shao to think about it, he preemptively said: "Lord Tian, you said that this matter was caused by Master Dong to blame the thief Cao, so dare to ask Lord Tian, what evidence do you have?" ”
Tian Feng was speechless, he was just speculating, what evidence came from? Guo Tu continued to say triumphantly: "When the thunder split the dam of the Yellow River, it happened that a scout team of our army passed by the north bank of the Yellow River, heard the thunder on the south bank of the Yellow River, and saw the dam on the south bank of the dam being split with a width of dozens of zhang. ”
Tian Fengman's face turned red, and he muttered after a while: "That lord also robbed the auspicious god seed, why didn't the heavenly thunder split the north shore, but only the south bank?" Tian Feng has a straightforward temperament and doesn't know how to be flexible, he has always said something, if these unlucky words are said to Kang Peng, Kang Peng will definitely laugh and not take it to heart, even if it is said to Cao Cao or Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will also be silent on the surface, at most they will just give him little boots to wear afterwards, at least they will not attack in person. It's a pity that Yuan Shao ......
"Bold Tian Feng, dare to say that this father deserves to be punished by heaven?" Yuan Shao was so angry that the blue tendons on his forehead jumped violently, and he shouted: "Come on, push out this rebel who committed chaos and behead him." ”
Tian Feng hurriedly shouted, "Lord, I'm just a metaphor, just a metaphor." But the sergeant listened to him, rushed up and dragged him out, frustrated and Xu Yu was busy with Yuan Shao kneeling, "Lord, Lord Tian is just a gaffe, the world is not at peace now, it is the time to employ people, please spare his life, let him make meritorious contributions." In addition to Guo Tu, Yuan Shao's subordinates all interceded for Tian Feng, including Yuan Shao's sons and judges, who also knelt down to ask Tian Feng for mercy, which allowed Yuan Shao to take back his life and drive Tian Feng out of the chamber instead.
After the main battle faction Tian Feng was driven away, the council hall was sung by the lord and the faction Guo Tu sang the protagonist, "The lord was born in the family of the third prince of the fourth world, the destiny of heaven returns, and it is natural to take auspiciousness, but it is a pity that the Cao thief went against the will of heaven, and even affected the god in the hands of the lord, especially not hateful, now Dong Taishi is obedient to the sky, the saint is on the top, the people are raised under the Limin, and for the court and the country to remove the border troubles of the Qiang people, the reputation is far spread, our army should immediately communicate with the Taishi, join hands to create a peaceful and prosperous world, and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, the villain is willing to go to the Taishi with a letter from the lord, persuade the Taishi to reconcile with our army. ”
With Tian Feng's experience, Fu Zhu and Xu You didn't dare to speak casually, and under the fanning of Guo Tu and the trial, Yuan Shao made a decision that he later regretted for life, quit the second anti-Dong alliance, and sent Guo Tu to make peace with Dong Zhuo. The threat posed by the second anti-Dong alliance was also successfully nipped in the bud by Kang Peng......
……
When the news of the Yellow River burst in Yanzhou reached Kang Peng's hands, Kang Peng was checking the water potential and the living conditions of the people fighting the flood on the bank of the Yellow River, after the unremitting efforts of Dong Zhuojun and the officials and people of Luoyang, the flood peak caused by the heavy rain did not cause much damage to Luoyang, but Kang Peng was still not at ease, and still worked tirelessly to take the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to the shore to check despite the danger of the fierce water - Kang Peng had just received the news from the flying pigeon, and the torrential rain upstream had stopped! And Fu Yu and Da Qiao insisted on walking with him, and Kang Peng also wanted to show his patriotism and love for the people in front of Da Qiao, and readily agreed.
"Fortify it here." Kang Peng pointed to a broken river bank, stood and said without back pain: "In the coming year, all the shores will be reinforced with bluestone, don't fill it with any soil, the water will be washed away as soon as it comes, and the water control should look at the long-term, don't just look at the present." ”
Kang Peng said easily, but Ma Ridan, Zhu Xian and the others smiled bitterly, Ma Ridan smiled bitterly: "Taishi, it's not that Lao Yu and others don't want to repair the river dam, it's just that the money and grain are ......." Ma Ridan shook his head and sighed: "Now that the imperial court can't even afford to pay officials, then why do you want money and grain to govern the river?" ”
Kang Peng was silent, turned his back and slowly walked to the shore, facing the flowing Yellow River and pondering for a long time, before he said: "After the autumn harvest this year, the old man will allocate another 100,000 stone of grain to Luoyang to help Luoyang repair the dam. ”
Kang Peng's iron rooster plucked his feathers, Ma Ridan and Zhu Xian and others were busy thanking the people of Luoyang for his great kindness, but Zhu Xian and others were still full of sadness, although Kang Peng gave a lot of food, but the Han Xian Emperor Yi added arrogance and luxury, this bit of food is afraid that it will be monopolized by the Han Xian Emperor just after arriving in Luoyang, and what can really be used by the people is only afraid that even three percent of it will be difficult.
"Uncle Ma, Uncle Zhu." Fu Yu, who had been following Kang Peng's side, suddenly said: "I still have some private money in my hand, although it is not much, but it is more or less my mind, I will send someone to you when I go back, and help repair the embankment." ”
Da Qiao also said: "My family is also quite rich, and I have saved some money, so I will use it to help you." ”
Ma Ridan, Zhu Xian and others were willing to accept it, and hurriedly excused themselves, but Fu Yu and Da Qiao did not give in, they must give, they were pushing and conceding, a fast horse rushed straight to the river bank, and the people on the horse shouted: "Taishi, Taifu, the big thing is not good, the Yanzhou Yellow River has burst!" ”
Hearing this, Kang Peng was overjoyed in his heart and succeeded! Ma Ridan and the others were shocked, the herald rushed to Kang Peng and Ma Ridan and others and knelt down, handed over a letter, Ma Ridan quickly took it and read it aloud: "On June 29, the third year of the Han Dynasty, a huge thunder fell from the sky in the area of Guandu in Yanzhou, and the Yellow River dam was split by thunder!" The width of the breach is 25 zhang, the water depth of the flat land is more than 1 zhang, the people of Yanzhou have suffered countless deaths, and hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced......"
When Ma Ridan read this, there was already a big uproar on the bank of the Yellow River, the officials and the people were all shocked, talking about each other, and the kind-hearted Fu Yu and Da Qiao were already in tears, only Kang Peng stood still and said nothing in the face of the Yellow River.
"Wow woo woo woo...... an ugly cry like killing a pig suddenly sounded, and everyone looked fixedly, but it was Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying, the emperor's grandfather, who were crying bitterly in the face of the Yellow River.
Kang Peng stomped his feet while crying - that is, the ancients said that he cried loudly, Kang Peng cried: "God, you are so unfair, although you sent a huge thunder to punish Cao Cao for robbing Xiangrui, but you also affected the innocent people of Yanzhou...... Kang Peng took the lead in crying, and his advisers Jia Xu and Fa Zheng immediately understood what he meant-buying people's hearts, and they also cried loudly, Ma Ridan, Dong Cheng, Zhu Xie, Fu Yu and Da Qiao really said that Kang Peng was crying for the people, and he also cried bitterly when moved, and for a while, there was a mourning on the Yellow River dam.
Kang Peng seemed to be more and more sad the more he cried, and stomped his feet again and again: "God, what sins does Cao Cao have, the old man is willing to share it with him, don't you affect the innocent people." ”
Maybe Boss Dong is too fat, or Kang Peng's feet are too heavy, or maybe the river has loosened the soil under Kang Peng's feet, or maybe God really can't get used to this hypocrite pretending to be here - in short, Kang Peng's feet suddenly fell into the Yellow River.
After Kang Peng fell off the Yellow River, everyone on the shore was frightened and scattered. ''Plop. Without waiting for Jia Xu and others to speak, Kang Peng's personal soldiers had all jumped off the Yellow River, and countless people in Luoyang, who had good water properties, also jumped off the Yellow River, and finally rescued Kang Peng, who had been filled with river water.
"Master! Taishi! Ma Ridan, who was in his seventies, knelt in front of Kang Peng and cried: "Taishi loves the people so much, he is willing to die with the people, and he admires the old man." ”
Ma Ridan's words reminded Kang Peng, who was spitting yellow water in a big gulp, and Kang Peng immediately improvised and continued to cry: "Yanzhou is over, it's all the old man's crime, don't pull me, let me go with the people of Yanzhou." While crying and struggling to go to the Yellow River, the expression is realistic enough to be comparable to Liu Bei and Liu Da'er, who are the best at buying people's hearts in the Han Dynasty.
"Taishi, Taishi." Suddenly, nearly 10,000 officials and people on the bank of the Yellow River knelt down for Kang Peng, all of them burst into tears, and a few old stubborns were so moved that they didn't know what words to use to describe them, hugging Kang Peng's thick legs and crying, "Taishi, this is all Cao Cao's crime of robbing auspiciousness, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
Kang Peng was willing to let him, anyway, he estimated that there were so many soldiers and civilians who knew how to water around him, and no one would really let him die, struggling to jump into the Yellow River again. At this time, Jia Xu found him a step down, and Jia Xu pushed Ma Chao, "Go, knock Taishi unconscious." ”
Ma was taken aback, "What? Knock out the Taishi? ”
Jia Xu thumped and said: "Taishi is so angry now, if you don't knock him unconscious, what if you really let him jump off the Yellow River?" ”
"Oh." Ma Chao suddenly realized, stood up and pounced, and without saying a word, he punched Kang Peng's fat abdomen, which immediately knocked Kang Peng unconscious.
