Chapter 189: Borrowing Soldiers to Repay Kindness 1
When Tai Shici said the purpose of his trip to Jizhou, Yuan Lang's previous guess in his heart finally came to a consistent result.
Obviously, it is true that the historical description of Tai Shici focuses on bravery, but the only "repayment" narrative in his life is also full of rhetoric, and has even been recorded in history.
As Tai Shi Ci said, because he has been working outside all the year round, he lacks care for the old mother at home, whether Kong Rong is out of kindness or for another purpose, in short, Kong Beihai when Tai Shi Ci is not at home, they are the old mother of the Tai Shi family, and they do give a lot of help and care, which is also the most direct factor that finally contributed to Tai Shi Ci's desire to repay the favor.
"Repaying the favor" Kong Rong, and riding alone in the besieged Duchang City, at this time, the initial historical description of Tai Shi Ci is also a thick ink rendering, which is actually to borrow the name of Kong Rong and highlight Tai Shi Ci's filial piety from the side, it seems to be really praising Kong Rong, but in fact it is praising Tai Shi Ci.
According to the historical description, Tai Shici finally borrowed soldiers from Liu Bei in Pingyuan County and successfully rescued the danger of Duchang City, but Yuan Lang now thinks about it again, history has quietly deviated from the trajectory because of his arrival, for example, Jizhou should have been taken by Yuan Shao according to historical records, and Liu Bei should be dormant in Pingyuan County, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it is not the same thing at all, Yuan Shao did not take Jizhou, and Liu Bei did not stay in Pingyuan County honestly. So Tai Shi Ci came to borrow troops, will he succeed as recorded in history?
Yuan Lang didn't know if the purpose of Tai Shi Ci's trip would be realized, but to be honest, he hoped that Liu Bei would not lend him troops, as long as Tai Shi Ci was hindered by Liu Bei, then he would have the opportunity to sow favors.
Of course, Yuan Lang is investing, if he can get Tai Shici's reward because he helped Tai Shici rescue Kong Rong's crisis, this investment will be a great deal.
But the current problem in front of Yuan Lang is that Tai Shici is not disappointed in Liu Bei, and even has great expectations, judging from his continuous inquiries to Yuan Lang about Liu Bei's whereabouts, Tai Shici seems to have found some vague information.
If he deliberately deceived Tai Shi Ci, Yuan Lang was afraid that it would lead to irreparable consequences, and after weighing it again and again, he still made up his mind to tell Tai Shi Ci clearly.
I only heard Yuan Lang ask Liu Bei's whereabouts again after Tai Shici asked him about his whereabouts, and he said truthfully: "Don't hide Ziyi, Uncle Liu Huang's whereabouts do know!" However, this trip to Yecheng is a confidential march, lest Uncle Liu Huang be unhappy and inconvenient to tell him! ”
"This ...... General, save the people of Duchang City, please ask General Ci to inform Uncle Liu Huang of his whereabouts! ”
Tai Shi Ci first heard Yuan Lang say that he knew Liu Bei's whereabouts and was excited, and then heard that Yuan Lang had unspeakable secrets, the gap between the front and back was so big that even Tai Shi Ci could not accept it, and as a last resort, Tai Shi Ci could only attend and bow to Yuan Lang, hoping to get Liu Bei's true traces from him.
"Ziyi is not in a hurry, even if there is a big difficulty, I will try my best to help you!" Yuan Lang stepped forward to help Tai Shici, and then looked at Zhao Yundao, "Zilong, you go to find out the news of Uncle Liu Huang, if it is convenient, tell him about Ziyi, and ask if you will arrange a meeting!" ”
Zhao Yun got up and replied: "No", he bowed his hand to Tai Shi Ci and said hello, and then went out of the big tent to do his own errands.
"Could it be that Uncle Liu Huang is nearby?"
Tai Shi Ci can also be regarded as having a keen sense of smell, and as soon as he saw what Yuan Lang had instructed Zhao Yun, he immediately thought of something.
Yuan Lang knew that he couldn't hide it, so he told him: "Don't hide it, Uncle Liu Huang and our army are in one place, and his military tent is on the hill not far away, just a few miles away!" ”
"Great! Engong is saved, Engong is saved! ”
Tai Shi Ci was excited, as if he saw that he had borrowed elite soldiers from Liu Bei and was already galloping back to Duchang City.
"Humph! Don't be complacent too early, you have to say whether people borrow it or not! Zhang Yan sat alone and drank a sip of wine, and then said to himself, "This second person is also a long master, and he actually tangled up a group of rabble to surround Nadu Changcheng, hehe, hehe......"
Saying that the unintentional listener was intentional, Tai Shici's face was solemn as if he was thinking about something, and Yuan Lang said something to Zhang Yan, and accused on the spot: "Black goods, what are you pinching nonsense, although Guan Hai used to be my Yellow Turban person, but now that the world is in turmoil, he still has the idea of making a fortune and beating the people, these people have deviated from the purpose of our army, and when they meet again, they are enemies and not friends, you have to remember!"
Yuan Lang said this, in fact, he was saying it to Tai Shi Ci, yes, Guan Hai is also the old department of the Yellow Turban Army, and he is also not a small leader, but now the Yellow Turban Army has become a new Yellow Turban Army, they have taken the great responsibility of the world as their own responsibility under the leadership of Yuan Lang, like Guan Hai, who still keeps the Yellow Turban Order, still does his own thing, and is no longer a friend of Yuan Lang and others, presumably Tai Shici did not mention anything about borrowing troops from Yuan Lang, it is likely that it is because the army led by Yuan Lang is the Yellow Turban Army.
Hearing this, Zhang Yan put down the wine bottle, and suddenly got up and replied: "Full of wine and food, you guys chat, I'll go out and rest!" ”
Yuan Lang didn't stop him, and after Zhang Yan came out of the account, he comforted Tai Shici and said: "Ziyi, you don't have to care about this person's words, he's like that!" Presumably, Zilong will bring news soon, so sit back and wait for the good news! ”
Tai Shi Ci felt guilty about Yuan Lang, his mind seemed to be seen through by Yuan Lang, yes, it stands to reason that Yuan Lang treated himself so well, how could he still make a request that he didn't know what to do and insisted on seeing Liu Bei, this is nothing more than the reason why the other party is a decent Yellow Turban Army, let the Yellow Turban Army fight the former generals, this is not only to embarrass himself, but also to embarrass Yuan Lang, so Tai Shi Ci has never dared to borrow troops from Yuan Lang in front of him, but has always wanted to find Liu Bei according to his original thoughts, With Kong Rong's prestige and Liu Bei's status as a royal clan, he can also serve the imperial court and be able to transfer troops and horses to him, if so, it will be the best result.
But Zhao Yun has been gone for a long time and has not returned, and Tai Shici has no heart to drink, and is waiting anxiously at this time.
And Zhen Jiang and Yun'er on the side didn't dare to come out from the beginning, but now they see that Yuan Lang is silent, and Tai Shici is restless and goes inside to do needlework, and he doesn't show up.
The military tent suddenly became quiet, although Yuan Lang had no expression on his face, but his heart was entangled, he hoped that Zhao Yun would not go to see Liu Bei, and he could understand his mind and lie that Liu Bei was unwilling to borrow troops, but he also hoped that Zhao Yun would better see Liu Bei, maybe the other party would not agree.
During the period when Zhao Yun had not returned, Yuan Lang and Tai Shici were also anxious, but they were just inconspicuous, and they did not stop for a moment, pacing back and forth in the tent, as if they were getting more and more anxious.
