Chapter 9: Be a lobbyist

After Liu Tong got up, Yang Feng and Yang Ding also got up, seeing that Liu Tong was leaving, Yang Ding grabbed Liu Tong, Liu Tong looked at Yang Ding strangely, and his eyes seemed to be asking if there was anything else? Yang Ding embarrassedly led Liu Tong to look at his army to the left, and then to the right to look at Liu Tong's cavalry, "Master Hou, this ......"

Liu Tong said solemnly: "Oh, old friends meet and meet, this battle, how to fight and how to fight." Later, the two generals will hide behind, I will not hurt you, just watch out for those who don't know you. As he spoke, he broke Yang Ding's hand and wanted to go back.

At this time, Yang Feng, who had been forbearing, suddenly broke out and shouted, "What does the son want?" Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated! ”

Liu Tong was stunned, he didn't expect that Yang Feng was still a little bloody, and he also knew that the two had the idea of surrendering, so he put away his joking tone and mentality. He bowed to Yang Feng with his fists and stretched out his hand to ask the two to sit down again.

"The two generals, Liu Tong is young, but he also knows the righteousness. General Yang Feng welcomed His Majesty back to the east and escaped from the cage of Li Dao and Guo Yan, which is a great achievement of the world! General Yang Ding also helped and made meritorious contributions, and General Yang Ding persuaded Wu Xi to surrender and kill Guo Yan, which was also a great achievement. How can my father and son forget each other? Liu Tong's stubborn jokes back then, please forgive the two generals. Sun Jian and Sun Ce secretly hid the national seal, and the national seal was in Yuan Shu, and the rebellious ministers and thieves were also. Sun Quan plotted to kill Sun Ce, a sinister villain, not the master. Yuan Shu arrogated the emperor, and died innocently. Why don't the two generals set things right in time and return to the imperial court, or they can return to their hometowns to serve or continue to lead troops to conscript, my father and son have fulfilled the wish of the king! Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu are the former witnesses. ”

Yang Feng and Yang Ding have been wandering and wandering for many years, and have not been trusted and reused, the longer they have been away from Xiliang, the more they cherish their hometown, and they have heard that Liu Kuan has treated people leniently over the years, and saw that Liu Tong has not forgotten his own merits, and promised to stay at his own choice. And at this moment, Liu Tong has surrounded himself, and his destruction is in an instant, but Liu Tong can treat himself so sincerely, he can't help but burst into tears after hearing it. Yang Feng and Yang Ding immediately bowed to Liu Tong and said, "Gan is a cow and a horse, let it be driven!" ”

Liu Tong laughed and helped the two up, "Two generals, why don't we set up camp here today and catch up with the old days?" ”

Yang Feng said: "Childe, I'll talk about it when I go back and deal with the personnel arranged by Kan Ze in the general." So saying, he walked up to his horse, jumped on his horse, and galloped back.

Liu Tong saw Yang Feng walk to his formation from a distance, shouted a few words to his subordinates, and suddenly saw a burst of sword light and sword shadows in his formation, and hundreds of people fell from a pool of blood.

Yang Ding on the side explained: "Before we set off, Kan Ze placed some people in. Now the rest is the old ministry. ”

Subsequently, Liu Tong and Yang Feng respectively commanded their troops to camp in the mountains to the east. Liu Tong invited Yang Feng and Yang Ding to a banquet in his big tent.

Liu Tong raised his glass and toasted frequently, now Liu Tong's alcohol has risen sharply, and after three rounds of drinking, Liu Tong asked Yang Feng: "General Che Cai, do you want to go to Luoyang to serve in the future or do you have other arrangements?" Yang Feng said modestly: "Childe, don't be commensurate with the general of the chariot and cavalry, and shame me!" Now that the northern states have been decided, I am concerned about Xiliang, and I will go to Chang'an, willing to assist Xuanwei Hou to pacify Xiliang, and return the people to a stable and prosperous Xiliang. ”

After Liu Tong heard this, he bowed to Yang Feng, "The righteousness of the public, the boy has thanked the general on behalf of the people of Xiliang." The general is quite popular in Xiliang, and he will definitely be able to accommodate the old department and make new contributions. Liu Tong looked at Yang Ding, and Yang Ding also expressed his willingness to continue to follow Yang Feng.

Yang Feng put down his wine glass, "Childe, I am willing to offer Ruyin to my son, thinking that it is a gift to return to the court." ”

Liu Tong was overjoyed when he heard this, "Oh, I don't know what the general's good plan is?" ”

Yang Feng replied: "Success or failure lies in Chen Cong's Taishou, after the death of Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, Yuan Shu made Chen Yu the assassin history, and then Chen Yu did not serve Yuan Shu as the emperor, Yuan Shu gathered troops in Huaibei to attack Chen Yu, Chen Yu fled, and his brother Chen Cong Chen Gongyan went to Yuan Shu to say peace, was kidnapped by Yuan Shu, and was appointed as Ruyin Taishou. Now Chen Yu is under the account of Yan Guogong, and I recently heard that Chen Yu's friend Xu Xuan has also returned to Luoyang. General Yang Ding and I will continue to reinforce Ruyin tomorrow, and after entering the city, persuade Chen Cong to surrender, and set up a banquet in Taishou Mansion to kill Liang Gang and Le, we restrain the troops, and Ruyin will get without a fight! ”

Liu Tong applauded, raised his glass and solemnly toasted Yang Feng and Yang Ding with a glass of wine. Liu Tong regretted that he shouldn't have let Xu Xuan go to Luoyang, if Xu Xuan was here, it would be half the effort to let Xu Xuan follow Yang Feng to see Chen Cong.

Liu Tong thought again, why don't you go there yourself, but who will lead the fifteen thousand cavalry? The key is to follow Yang Feng and Yang Ding, and he is not sure whether they will murder him.

Hey, these two people don't have a good reputation, but they can't entrust their lives to them. If he didn't go in person, with the inglorious history of Yang Feng and Yang Ding, would Chen Cong believe them?

Let Chen Cong accept Yang Feng's persuasion, in the final analysis, how to make Chen Cong believe that Yang Feng is such a bad Xiliang rebel with a bad reputation. Liu Tong couldn't think of a way for a while, so he put away his thoughts and kept drinking with the two.

After the banquet dispersed that night, Liu Tong called the Lou Ban in, wrote a letter in person, and informed Xian Yufu of his intentions, so that Xian Yufu would not besiege Ruyin, just wait and see the changes in the periphery, and take the letter to see Xian Yufu overnight.

The next day, Yang Feng and Yang Ding continued to Ruyin with their troops with grain and grass as planned.

In the afternoon of the same day, when Yang Feng and Yang Ding were about to enter the city with more than 3,000 soldiers, they saw a young man wearing civilian clothes, carrying an iron rod and riding an ordinary horse from behind the troops. ”

Liu Tong smiled: "How can I win Chen Cong's trust if I don't come?" ”

Yang Ding pointed to the rope on Liu Tong's horse and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Hehe, doesn't the general recognize this as a rope?"

"Yes."

"You want to ask what this is for, right, let me tell you, it's easy for me to go up and down the city, and the rope is a help!" Yang Ding was skeptical, but Yang Feng was completely convinced that he had heard of the martial arts of Liu Tong and his son.

In fact, Liu Tong wanted to use Yang Feng to enter the city, and he didn't want to accompany them for a long time, so he thought of such a play.

Liu Tong told Yang Feng that Xian Yufu had already led an army of 200,000 to the outside of Ruyin City, and if he could not kill Liang Gang and Le Qiang, or if he could not control the troops in the city after killing Liang Gang and Le Zuo, he would capture the north gate and release beacon fires, and Xian Yufu's army would be able to rush to reinforcements in an instant, enter the city from the north gate, and annihilate the enemy army in the city in one fell swoop.

Yang Feng knew that when Liu Tong appeared in Ruyin, there would definitely be Liu Kuan's army nearby, but he didn't expect that more than 200,000 would come at once! He knew that there was still Liu Kuan's army near Shouchun and Runan, and Liu Kuan's current strength was really unimaginable.

After Liu Tong entered the city with the troops, he left alone. Liu Tong inquired all the way to the Taishou Mansion, and first found an inn nearby to live in.

That night, Liu Tong came to the Taishou Mansion in the dark, and Liu Tong thought to himself, hey, I have really done a lot of things in the dark over the years. With his rich experience, Liu Tong quickly found the backyard of Taishou Mansion, Chen Cong's study, and Liu Tong saw a fat old man in his fifties writing this at his desk. Liu Tong knew from experience that this old man was too guarded.

Liu Tong got out of the room, hid the dragon stick in the corner, and knocked on the door to enter.

Chen Cong is very strange how someone knocks on the door, outsiders come to ask for a meeting, there must be a report, the lady will not knock on the door when she enters, the housekeeper or the next person will report at the door and will not ask for entry. Chen Cong opened the door and saw a handsome and sturdy young man standing at the door, and saw that his demeanor was natural and extraordinary, so he introduced the door.

After Liu Tong entered the door, he bowed to Chen Cong, "Luoyang Liu Yu's grandson, Liu Kuan's son, boy Liu Tong to meet Lord Chen!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Cong was immediately petrified, and it took him half a day to come back to his senses. "Sure enough, it's a heroic boy!" Chen Cong exclaimed, and then invited Liu Tong to take a seat. Chen Cong didn't want people to know about Liu Tong's arrival, so he didn't arrange for someone to serve tea.

"I don't know what happened when my son came to visit at night?"

Liu Tong wanted to laugh, but when he saw Chen Cong's elegant elder, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he couldn't help but keep his voice, and said: "The kid came to be a lobbyist for the court!" Chen Cong laughed out loud after hearing this.
