Chapter 364 Old Friends Meet
When he arrived in a place, he naturally had to care about the local people, especially because Zheng Xuan didn't want to immediately put Zhang Xiujun and Nanyang County into a very critical state because of him.
Fortunately, even Zhang Xiu is so calm, let alone Jia Xu.
At the beginning of the banquet, Zheng Xuan and the two disciples were silent, quietly holding the dishes, and the three of them only drank three glasses of wine, and never touched the wine jug in front of them again.
"Ziyang, you are talented, how long can the second son take to win the entire Yizhou." At the table, only Jia Xu and Liu Ye had some common language, and he suddenly asked Liu Ye a question that was difficult to answer.
Jin Jue's capture of Hanzhong County can be said to have refreshed the record in the history of Chinese warfare for breaking through the fortress-type city with weak troops. Jia Xu said that it was less than half a year, in fact, in less than half a year, Jin Jue spent most of his time training, breaking through Nanzheng County and driving Zhang Lu out of Hanzhong County.
Therefore, as for how long it will take Jin Jue to take over the entire Yizhou, even if you ask Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Sima Yi, Lu Su and Xu Shu, the five current strategists who have appeared, they may not be able to give the same answer, not to mention, the current situation in Bashu is chaotic, all kinds of news are flying all over the sky, and the outside world can't find out any detailed and true information at all.
"Hehehe!" When Liu Ye heard this, he smiled bitterly three times and said, "Mr. Nanhe, you are embarrassing your juniors. At present, the news coming out of Yizhou is too chaotic, and it is really difficult for the younger generation to make a judgment on this. However, since Mr. Nanhe asked, Zheng Gong is here again, the younger generation should talk about it, just take it as a word to throw bricks and lead jade!
According to the news from many sources, Gongzi led his troops into Bashu this time, and the lack of troops was his shortcoming. If it can be solved, it will be clear within a year, but if it can't be solved, it will take at least three years. ”
"Yes, Ziyang's prediction is actually similar to Ye's analysis. However, Ziyang, I still have to say something, I'm afraid that the second son's ability will once again greatly exceed your and my estimates! Hehehe! After listening, Jia Xu also smiled bitterly three times and said.
Finally, he emphasized, "This is not the first time!" ”
Early the next morning, bidding farewell to Zheng Xuan and the others, Liu Ye returned with his men to Ancheng County, which is now the seat of his control of the southern part of Runan County.
Ancheng County is located in the southeast of Yang'an County, directly south of Pingyu County, blocking the passage of Li Tong of Yang'an County to lead troops into the southern part of Runan County.
At present, because Liu Ye has not shown his tendencies to any of the outside forces, as long as the surrounding large and small forces are still mainly sending envoys to persuade them to surrender, they have no intention of attacking here except for sending a small number of troops to guard against them. However, Liu Ye's subordinates are not very capable, so he can't leave Ancheng County for too long.
The southern part of Runan County is what Liu Ye is going to leave to Jin Jue, and it is also his own step of advancement, so he doesn't want to rashly lose this place and raise an army to Hanzhong County.
At noon, Zheng Xuan and his entourage, who were in a hurry, ignored the efforts of Zhang Xiu and others to stay, led by Hu Che'er with 1,000 elite cavalry and 2,000 infantry, quietly left Wancheng and headed towards Yunguan.
After getting the news from Zhang Xiu in advance, Du Ji and Kong Rong, the Taishou of Hanzhong County, immediately left everything in their hands and immediately brought people to Yunguan in person. After Cai Wenji found out, she also wanted to come, but not long after she gave birth to a son, she had to stay at home to recuperate, and was dissuaded by Kong Rong.
……
A few days later, Zheng Xuan and the army led by Hu Che'er came to Yunguan together.
Kong Rong is old, he has been reading since he was a child, and his eyes have been broken, and his natural love of drinking has made his eyesight worse. Therefore, in the past few days when he arrived in Yunguan, he specially arranged a few subordinates with excellent eyesight in Yunguan City.
On this day, one of the youngest subordinates saw the team with the word 'Zhang' hanging outside, and immediately informed Kong Rong, who was drinking on the side, about it.
Kong Rong was about to throw the wine jug in his hand out of the distance, and ran down the gate impatiently, just like immediately asking the soldiers guarding the gate to open the gate for him.
However, at this time, Kong Rong is not an official in Jin Jue's army, and there is Hanzhong Taishou sitting here, even if he is a famous man Kong Rong in the world, but who dares to listen to him here?
Jin Jue's army is very strict, if there is no military order to open and close the city gate casually, once discovered, who is the person who does not dare to shout outside the city to let the city open, even if it is Jin Jue himself, after that, the generals and soldiers who were responsible for guarding the city gate at that time will all be punished.
Du Ji himself would not have ordered the opening of the gate of the city without finding out the specific origin and intentions of the army outside the gate.
Helpless, Kong Rong's subordinates thought of a way, that is, to use ropes and hanging baskets to lower Kong Rong down the city wall.
Although this method is very dangerous, Du Qi did not stop it.
Kong Rong himself is very fat, but he is not afraid of danger at all, and after Du Yi persuaded him once, he knew his character, so he did not continue to persuade him.
Fortunately, this time, Kong Rongfu had a big life, and after he arrived at the city in a thrilling hanging basket, he immediately jumped out of the hanging basket, trotted to Zheng Xuan's carriage, and shouted loudly: "Kang Chenggong, why do you want to come to Hanzhong County?" Rong is sorry for you! ”
Unconsciously, Kong Rong's face was already covered with tears, and his voice became choked.
Since the loss of Beihai County, whether Kong Rong is in Taishan to avoid disaster or visit Xuzhou, once he is alone, he will reflect on all his past actions in Beihai Kingdom. Whenever he thinks of Zheng Xuan, he can't help but think of Zheng Yien who is for him, and he will have an endless sense of guilt for this friend in his heart.
Zheng Xuan's seventy-year-old man had only one son, Zheng Yien, and as a result, he died because of his incompetence. If Kong Rong hadn't conquered Zheng Yien, with Zheng Xuan's status in Qingzhou, Zheng Yien would not have died at all.
"Wenju, why are you doing this? Yien he died well, not to mention, he also left Xiaotong to me. You don't have to worry about that anymore. Zheng Xuan's expression was very calm, he persuaded a few words, and immediately turned the topic to Cai Wenji, and asked, "Wenju, how is Wenji?" ”
"Wen Ji is very good, she just gave birth to a child not long ago, so this time, she was not able to greet you in person?" Sure enough, at the mention of Cai Wenji, Kong Rong's mood became better, and his voice immediately stopped being sad.
