"Definitely!"

Kong Rong shook his head and said, "How could they be born bandits?" It's not just some good people, but they don't obey the king and are being used by others. With a sigh, he said: "I implore Deran to spare their lives and let them return to Beihai, I will arrange for them to make the rebellious party know the king's law and affairs, and work in Beihai with peace of mind." ”

Unexpectedly, but overjoyed, Kong Rong's thoughts did not say Liu Lan's heart, just because they coincided, how could he not agree, immediately agreed, and said: "Kong Beihai is generous, but Lan wants to thank the county guard for saving their lives for these people." ”

Kong Rong waved his hand, disappreciated, and said: "What did De Ran say, you didn't execute them, and let them farm here with peace of mind, I think the first person to thank is none other than De Ran." ”

After some compliments, they entered the city, the two walked side by side, and the army behind them followed, and the people of Beihai heard that Liu Lan had lifted the siege, and they had already crowded the streets into a sea of people, scrambling to see what the benefactor who saved his life looked like.

Cheering and thanking along the way, this kind of scene Liu Lan is not the first time to see, it can't be said that it is strange or not, but don't forget, it is more of a scene seen when Gongsun Zhan, the people are mostly forced, but the scene in front of him is all spontaneous by the people, it is conceivable that this scene is much warmer than in Lu Longsai Right Beiping, maybe it is infected, Liu Lan consciously or unconsciously waved to the people on both sides, just like this, all the way to the front of a county guard mansion with Kong Rong under the support of the people, and was instantly attracted by the two stone lions in front of the house, Under Kong Rong's introduction, Liu Lan learned that this stone lion was carved from the purple gold stone of Liyi, but the real value of these two stone lions was not their vivid and lifelike shapes. It is that this purple lazuli is hard to find, and there is a saying among the people that it is a town, to avoid evil, and to keep peace. A small piece is worth a fortune, not to mention a rough stone that has been carved out of such a large area as a stone lion.

Gee. This Kong Rong is really rich, Liu Lan secretly staggered, agreeing that it is the county guard, this gap is inevitably too big, but this point of view has completely changed after he entered the palace, especially after passing through the middle hall, Liu Lan found that the inner house and the outer government are simply not the same, if you only talk about the outer office, it must be one of the best places in this era, but if you talk about the inner house. Not to mention that it is better than Liu Lan's inner house, it is not even as good as the extremely shabby inner house of Zhuojun County Shou Wen Shu back then, there is no high pavilion, and even the pavilion is quite rare, but it is such a simple mansion, but it makes him feel a strong elegant atmosphere, as if he has come to a paradise.

This is the real Confucian, with the magic power to turn decay into magic, if Liu Lan is allowed to make such a house. That's just burning the qin and boiling the crane, sipping tea on the flowers, but it is a laughing stock.

With Kong Rong came to an Accomodation, in front of which was a huge fish pond. There is a rockery in the center of the pond, and there is a boulder on the mountain, which is carved into the pattern of Lao Suo fishing. Fascinating, if it weren't for Kong Rong's introduction. Liu Lan was afraid that he really thought that Kong Rongmen was fishing here.

Walking into the hall, the walls are not like ordinary large households hanging color forging or even laying red silk. It is the most primitive wooden wall, the only decoration is only a few ink paintings, there are flowers and birds, there are fish and insects, there are old people, there are children. In the middle is a picture of plum and bamboo in the snow, just one glance Liu Lan has the ups and downs of his mind, and the sense of immersion is surprising again and again.

Kong Rong smiled and invited Liu Lan to sit in the chief, but he thanked him with 'strong guests do not suppress', Kong Rong was no longer humble and sat in the chief, while Liu Lan naturally sat in the second seat. Then everyone sat down one by one, since it was a Confucian banquet, naturally it would not be like Liu Lan to invite guests to eat and drink directly from the mountains and seas, everything can't escape a word of etiquette, everything has its rules, and it cannot be overcome, the reckless Zhang Fei interjected, and was 'sprayed' by Kong Rong, saying that if it is not a ceremony for three years, the etiquette will be bad; Three years for no fun, the music will collapse, a long speech, the old coarse people present are all impressed by it, even Liu Lan, a person who prides himself on being a beginner, has to be patient to watch, the musician comes first, plays the Qingyue wonderful sound, all the silk bamboo bell chime and other prosperous sounds, fresh as a crane, tactful and beautiful, fortunately Zhang Fei has been told by Liu Lan's eye just now, and he is not presumptuous, otherwise he is really afraid that this kid will say something rebellious, why? You must know that this kid will only listen to music in the Qinglou of the music square to listen to some of the beautiful sounds such as the gonghou pipa, if you ask why there is no gonghou, Kong Rong can't spurt three liters of blood?

The dancing girl appeared, the silk bamboo bell chime became Yaoqin, Yaoqin takes the gentleman's style as the correct sound, there must be no half noisy, and it is not sad to listen to it without losing the solemn meaning, otherwise it will be really abrupt, and it is possible to be coaxed out by Kong Daru.

There is no noisy sound, except for the heavy panting, such a beautiful and moving dancer and musician, and what man is not moved? The panting is already light, Liu Lan is really afraid that his old brothers will not be able to control it, and a bully will be forced to bow down, fortunately, this is the last song, and the dancers and musicians retreated at the same time as the maids appeared with lunch boxes, and the maids were in an endless stream, and they were sent back and forth. In a few moments, the feast was set up.

The dish is divided into eight treasures, namely beef, sheep, elk, deer, pig, dog, wolf, and a vegetarian dish, a flavor soup and a fish, the former is average, but the last three dishes are extremely delicious.

It is known as red toon, with a rich aroma, crisp and juicy, fragrant and delicious.

The soup is 'grits soup', this soup takes the meat of cattle and sheep, three as one, small cut, and rice two, meat one, together as bait, fried it. It is said that there is a record of "no food for seven days, and quinoa soup does not grit"; The famous work of the Spring and Autumn Period "Mozi Fei Confucianism" even contains: "Confucius is poor in Chen Cai, and quinoa soup is not gritty."

Fish is Jiang Taigong fish Qin, Kong Rong specially introduced the origin of this dish, according to legend, Jiang Ziya of the Zhou Dynasty was named Qi Guoying Hill by King Wu of Zhou after the fall of King Shang, because Jiang Taigong advocated the development of fish, mulberry, and adopted the policy of "the benefit of fish and salt" to encourage the distribution of boiled salt, let the people make salt, and make the people rich and prosperous.

"Jiang Taigong fishing" hobby is still the same, Taigong is happy to cook after catching fish, the whole fish is tired of eating, then remove the bones and leave the fish meat and vegetables to fry together, and this dish feast guests, the guests all say that the fish cooked by Taigong is delicious, and the fish is diligent, there are Yashi to make a quatrain: "Qi people are rich and prosperous, Jiang Taigong fish is diligent"

In order to entertain Liu Lan, Kong Rong can be said to have made a lot of money and brought out all the famous wines in Qingzhou. A large bronze jar was placed behind almost everyone, and a maid with a beautiful face was responsible for scooping wine for everyone with a long spoon.

Like a knowledgeable person like Kong Rong. Speaking of allusions, it was almost as soon as the mouth opened, and the previous food introduction was Jiang Taigong Yuqin. According to the records of the Spring and Autumn Period, in the thirtieth year of the reign of Lu Zhuang Gong (664 years ago), he built a platform in the south of Jishui in Ohno Jersey (now Qilu Huimengtai), and the monarchs of the two countries of Qi and Lu drank alcohol on the stage to form an alliance. Later generations commemorated the table and named the name of the wine after Mengtai. This wine is elegant, sweet and clean, mellow and delicate, and is deeply loved by the people of Qingzhou.

Wine and delicacies, you can see how grand Kong Rong is. But when the wine passed three rounds and the dishes passed the five flavors, Kong Rong finally showed his true face, only to see him half-swallow and half-vomit, and said: "Rong has a friend, today I came to Beihai, I don't know if it can be introduced to the hall, I think it is recommended?" ”

Kong Rong is the master, and the origin is the guest. Although it is a consultation, it is just to give Liu Lan a few thin noodles, Liu Lan naturally will not thin the owner's skin, and talk and laugh freely. said: "Kong Beihai is close to each other, and it must be very human, so he just took this opportunity." Firm people in the world. ”

Kong Rong showed a look of joy and invited Liu Lan to the back of the hall. Everyone at the banquet did not know why the two of them left. Thinking about it, he also went to discuss important matters, but everyone didn't care and continued to drink and eat.

Soon after Liu Lan and Kong Rong sat down in the hall, they saw a person dressed in brocade clothes, gracefully and generously walked into the hall, this person was the same figure as Liu Lan, his face was white and beardless, and he guessed that his age should be between twenty-five or sixteen years old from his face.

Seeing this person come in, Liu Lan and Kong Rong got up at the same time, but Kong Rong stepped forward and came to Liu Lan's side with this person's hand, and introduced: "This person is Tao Xuzhou's account under the driver's business, and his surname is Mi Mingzhu Zizhong." ”

"It turned out to be Brother Mi, who has heard the name for a long time, like thunder." Liu Lan smiled in his heart and said that your sister is even more thunderous, but he thought of another thing at this time.

Mi Zhu was stunned at first, and secretly said that his name was even heard of Xiao Weiqing, who is famous all over the world? After thinking about it carefully, I realized that it must be his polite words, and his name is not obvious and his voice is not public, how can he know.

Although this is the case, his impression of him is three points better, and he said with a smile: "Liu Junshou's prestige is like thunder below. ”

Immediately Kong Rong instructed his subordinates to add another seat to the head, Mi Zhu ate a few bites at will, Liu Lan picked up the wine bottle and toasted from afar, but he didn't want to squint and see Mi Zhu frequently glancing at Kong Rong, but Kong Rong waved his hand to him frequently, seeing this, Liu Lan remained silent and said: "I don't know if Zizhong is not in Xuzhou, how did he come to Beihai?" ”

Kong Rong listened to Liu Lan's question, and his heart was happy, and Mi Zhu followed the words to prepare Zhang Min to see the fortune and kill Cao Cao's father, but after speaking, he prayed: "Now Cao manipulates the army to plunder, to attack Xuzhou, you can't do it, and it is to slaughter the counties along the road, my main soldiers are small and outnumbered, I know that it is not Cao Cao's opponent, so I have to come here to ask for help." ”

"So that's it?"

Liu Lan already knew, but he pretended to be confused and said: "Tao Gongzu is a sincere gentleman, how can he do a bandit act of killing people and overstepping goods?" It's a pity that Tao Gongzu doesn't know anyone, and he suffered this innocent injustice in vain. ”

"Although the words are true, what should be done if it is the danger of Xuzhou?"

Kong Rong said: "De Ran is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, although Cao Cao is seeking revenge for his father, but he is arson and cruel to the people, relying on the strong to bully the weak, what is the difference between him and Dong Zhuo?" With such a deceptive beastly nature, how can the benevolent and righteous people in the world tolerate it, and why don't Deran save it with Rongrong? ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Liu Lan hesitated for a moment and said, "If Cao Cao is only seeking revenge for his father, it is okay to say, I am afraid that Cao Cao will not be here." ”

The two of them were shocked, looked at Liu Lan and said in unison: "(Liu Junshou, Deran Gong) means that Cao Cao wants to rob the county?" ”

Liu Lan nodded and said: "Even if Zhang Min didn't kill Cao Cao's father, he will also find a reason to attack Xuzhou in the future, don't forget that Tao Qian and Yuan Shu fought with Cao Cao last year, and now Zhang Min just gave Cao Cao a good reason to seize the land of Xuzhou." ”

How could the two of them not know Cao Cao's true intentions, they just said it in a high-sounding manner, but they didn't expect Liu Lan to be so upright, and the reason why they asked him for help was not because they were all connected with the alliance no matter what they said.

I only heard Liu Lan say: "Now I only have more than 10,000 people in my headquarters in Huang County, and I can't compete with Cao Cao." ”

Before Liu Lan finished speaking, the two of them were already confused, and they all said that it was a prevarication, Mi Zhu looked at Kong Rong, his eyes were full of pleading, Kong Rong had to stiffen his brows and said: "Deran, you have always had a benevolent heart, otherwise you would not have come to Beihai to help, why can't you help Tao Gongzu?" ”

Mi Zhu also said: "The people of Beihai are the people of the Han Dynasty, and Xuzhou is also, is it difficult for morality to bear to watch the lives of the people of Xuzhou?" As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Seeing that Mi Zhu looked like he was about to prostrate and pray, Liu Lan immediately stepped forward to pick him up and said to the two of them: "That's the case, Deran agreed, but I can't be the only one in this matter, last year, Tao Envoy Jun and Cao Cao fought because of Gongsun Zhan, now we are from our family, if we want to help Tao Envoy Jun, we have to send troops, so I immediately go to Youbeiping to persuade him to send troops with me, so it will be foolproof." Although Liu Lan remembered that Lu Bu attacked Cao Cao's hometown in history, just like the angel he knew would come forward to persuade Yuan Shao and Gongsun to strike the army, if he didn't take it seriously, Gongsun Zhan would have been defeated earlier, how could he have a chance to wait for the angel to come, it was because of this head-to-head confrontation with Cao Cao, not to be careless.

After Liu Lan finished speaking, he turned to Kong Rong and said, "Please Wenju first, Lan will definitely be able to persuade Gongsun Beiping to send troops with me." ”

When Kong Rong heard him say this, it was not easy to continue to beg for each other, but it was inevitable that he would spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and said; "If you forget your virtues, you must not lose your trust."

Liu Lan's face was solemn, and he said loudly: "Could it be that Lan is the untrustworthy villain in Wenju's heart?" As the old saying goes: 'Since ancient times, there has been death, and people cannot stand without faith'. Regardless of whether he borrowed the army from Gongsun Bogui or could not borrow the army, he would inevitably go to Xuzhou. (To be continued.) )
