Chapter 10 First Encounter with Yuan Tan
After Chen Qun received the order to persuade Kong Rong to surrender, he hurried to Beihai early the next morning. After the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info conveyed to Xu Huang the order to temporarily camp in Beihai City, he entered Beihai on horseback, preparing to meet Kong Rong for a while, and by the way, also meet Pan Zhang, the latest up-and-coming general. In the future, they are all ministers in the same hall, and they and Pan Zhang have a good relationship with Gao Ye, get to know each other, maybe they will rely on each other as arms and help in the future, how can they not talk about friendship?
As soon as Chen Qun entered Beihai City, Kong Rong was happy. Although he didn't know that Chen Qun had voted for Cao Cao, Chen Qun had a friendship with him, and now he had to see his old friend, although it was the time of the war, he couldn't hide Kong Rong's joy now. has friends from afar, for Kong Rong, it is really happy.
Speaking of which, Chen Qun can have such a great reputation now, and he has to thank Kong Rong. Although Chen Qun was evaluated by his grandfather Chen Yu as "Biwangwu Clan" when he was a child, if it weren't for Kong Rong being his friend and often making a name for him, his reputation would not be so loud now. It is said that in the early years, Kong Rong and Chen Qun were together and evaluated Yingchuan characters, among these talents, Xun Yu, Xun You, Xun Chen and others were all on the list. It can also be seen from this that Chen Qun and Kong Rong have a good relationship.
Therefore, as soon as Chen Qun came, Kong Rong immediately greeted him, and even held a banquet and invited Chen Qun to sit down. Although Pan Zhang had told himself in the morning that Xu Huang had already stationed troops outside the city, this could not stop Kong Rong from feasting on his old friend. As soon as the two of them sat down, Kong Rong laughed and asked people to drink, he had to get drunk with Chen Qun today.
After three rounds of wine, Chen Quncai said with a smile: "'The seats are always full, and the wine in the cup is not dry', Brother Wenju, now there is wine in this wine glass, but Brother Wenju is a guest on the seat, but most of it is missing." ”
When Kong Rong heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Changwen, don't expose the old man's shortcomings again, when Yuan Tan's soldiers pressed the border, my group of disciples ran away a lot." Now that Cao Cao's army has sent another high night, it can be regarded as my blessing to have these people left. Don't care about him, today's long article is here, you and I just have to drink! ”
"Brother Wen Ju, that Xu Gongming has already been overwhelmed by a large number of soldiers, and Brother Wen Ju doesn't seem to be worried at all."
"What's the use of worrying? I, Kong Wenju, am a scholar, if it weren't for Wen Qi's help, Beihai City would have fallen into the hands of Yuan Tan a long time ago. Now with a high night, hey, what can I do? Don't talk about these, but it's a long article for you, I haven't come to my Beihai for a few days, and I will study hard at home, and I will make progress, congratulations! ”
"Eh, if it weren't for Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses to attack, how could I not come to Beihai? Now that Qingzhou is in chaos, how dare you let me come? After all, the sages have a saying, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, how can I, Chen Qun, easily take risks? Chen Qun laughed loudly and replied, "If it weren't for General Hou, I wouldn't have seen Brother Wen Ju today." ”
Kong Rong and Pan Zhang were stunned when they heard this. Although Pan Zhang once served as a deputy general in the trapping camp under Gao Ye, he was training troops to fight on weekdays. Although I have also heard of the prestige of the Yingchuan Chen family, I have only heard of it. Now Chen Qun came as a friend of Kong Rong, and he didn't think about Cao Jun at all. It was only at this time that he realized that this Chen Qun was the person sent by Gao Ye to persuade Kong Rong to surrender. Also, the two of them have such a friendship, and if they want to persuade Kong Rong to surrender, they should get twice the result with half the effort.
As for Kong Rong, he was also surprised, he only wanted to meet his old friends, how happy. He didn't even think about what he was here for. Now when I hear the three words of the general, how can I not be frightened? Unexpectedly, Chen Qun, a talent in the world, has now also voted for Cao Cao, it seems that Cao Cao is indeed not simple. Kong Rong just didn't think about it so much at first, but now that Chen Qun has started, how can he not know the purpose of his coming to persuade him. After all, he said that Xu Huang's garrison was the first, and then the general was second, didn't he clearly state his position?
Therefore, Kong Rong's face darkened and said: "In this way, Changwen is here to persuade the old man to surrender on behalf of the general?" ”
When Chen Qun heard this, his face did not change, he still looked like he was smiling, and said to Kong Rong: "Non-yes, non-yes." Seeing Kong Rong's surprised expression, Chen Qun smiled and said: "I am not here to persuade Brother Wenju to surrender for General Hou, but at the invitation of Lord Sikong, I came to announce on behalf of His Majesty and summon Brother Wenju to enter the court as an official." ”
Pan Zhang, who was on the side, immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. This Chen Qun, when he said right and wrong at that time, he was really taken aback, if Gao Ye sent him not to persuade Kong Rong, what could he do it for? However, as soon as Chen Qun's words came out, Pan Zhang was impressed by this person for a moment, and sure enough, there was no false person under the fame. This Chen Qun's understanding of Kong Rong is really unusual. If he said that he was coming to persuade Kong Rong to surrender on behalf of Gao Ye, Kong Rong would definitely be unhappy even if he was forced to surrender by the situation. However, as soon as he said that he was summoned to the court as an official on behalf of His Majesty, in this way, although the result was surrender, the face was definitely different. Chen Qun's words meant that he voted for Kong Rong's favor, so Kong Rong had nothing in his heart, and surrender should be a matter of not running.
Kong Rong's reaction, as Pan Zhang thought, was not a tangled appearance at all, but drank the wine in the cup, and then arched his hand in the direction of Yingdu: "Minister Kong Rong bows to thank the Holy Grace." Speaking of which, after Kong Rong experienced the quarrel of his subordinates and Pan Zhang's simple and crude analysis, he actually did not reject the surrender of Cao Cao in his heart. Because the court of the Han Dynasty is now in Yingyin, and the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is now in Yingyin, what is the difference between his submission to Cao Cao and his submission to the court? Now Chen Qun also said that His Majesty wants to enter the court as an official himself, how can he not agree? Anyway, staying in Beihai is also three shocks a day, and now that there is such a good opportunity, Beihai City will be left to Gao Ye, let him go and fight with Yuan Tan, and go to Yingdu to be an official for his leisure, what's wrong.
Therefore, Kong Rong agreed and bowed his hand, which was just a way to show his agreement to submit. Kong Rong, who should come down, drank a glass of wine with Chen Qun at this moment, and then looked at Chen Qun and asked: "I don't know when the general will arrive, I want to send troops together to attack Dong Zhuo, what kind of demeanor was Mingxi at that time." After all these years, I don't know if Mingxi is still as brilliant as he was back then. ”
"Haha, General Hou is now more Wensi than before. Not long ago, Cao Song and Cao had a birthday, and Mingxi also wrote a poem. Among them, the sentence "Now but I wish the dynasty to dance, and I am confident in my life for 200 years" is simple and unpretentious, but full of true feelings. "Blessing is like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and the longevity is more than the old pine of the South Mountain", which is rigorous in the battle, but has a profound meaning. After the general wrote poems, now he has reached the realm of swaying freely and returning to the basics, what does Brother Wen Ju think? ”
"Yes, yes! Sure enough, it's a good sentence. After hearing this, Kong Rong was even more in a state of agar jelly, and after carefully tasting it, he exclaimed, "It's a pity that General Hou is going to fight again now, but that Yuan Tan has the name of Qingzhou Thorn History, and General Hou is here, I'm afraid that it is not right, how to fight with Yuan Tan?" It's better to do learning with peace of mind, it must be a generation of famous masters......"
The same question, Yuan Tan, who was under Beihai City seven days later, also asked Gao Ye like this. He thought that Gao Ye was going to fight with Kong Rong in Beihai, and when Gao Yebing arrived in Xixian County, he sent troops. After all, Xin Ping felt that sending troops at this time could give Gao Ye, who was fighting with Kong Rong, a surprise attack. It's a pity that when Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses arrived, they found that Gao Ye's soldiers and horses did not start a war with Beihai, and Gao Ye only took a small number of people to line up in front of his own army. As for the other soldiers and horses, the scout returns, have begun to slowly enter Beihai City. Under such circumstances, how could he and Xin Ping not know the terrifying fact that Kong Rong had descended the high night?
To be honest, this was the first time Gao Ye had seen Yuan Shao's eldest son, so he heard Yuan Tan's question, and Gao Ye just smiled and said, "Why is Xiansi's nephew angry?" Now that your uncle and I have been named Qingzhou Mu, where else can I go if I don't come to Qingzhou? Now that Kong Wenju has been recruited by His Majesty, I plan to govern Qingzhou in Beihai. But nephew, you are leading a large army today, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, why are you here to do it? ”
Speaking of Gao Ye's words, there was nothing unpleasant, but Gao Ye's shouting of a virtuous nephew really made Yuan Tan quite unhappy. He also knew that although Gao Ye was not much older than him in terms of age, in terms of generation, he was indeed a fellow of Yuan Shao's generation. Call yourself a good nephew, if in the past, there is nothing to do. But now Gao Ye, with a large army, came to Qingzhou, and easily took the Beihai that he had fought for two years, how could Yuan Tan not be angry? What do you say that Kong Rong was recruited by His Majesty, and His Majesty is in Cao Cao's hands, does it make any difference who recruits him? This is also the first time that Yuan Tan feels that this Liu Xie is still somewhat useful.
However, Yuan Tan calmed down the anger in his chest for a while, and then spoke: "It is the history of Qingzhou in the next place, and what is wrong with leading troops in Qingzhou?" ”
"Haha, how come I never knew that since Tian Kai, Your Majesty has ever sealed who is the assassin of Qingzhou? Nephew, are you joking with me, you know, pretending to be an official of the level of Assassin Shi is a big crime of the Zhu clan, you have to think about it. You said that you are the history of Qingzhou Thorn, I have to play Your Majesty, and confirm it well. ”
As soon as Gao Ye's words came out, Yuan Tan was almost half angry, but he was speechless to refute. This Qingzhou thorn history was given to him by Yuan Shao himself. However, although Yuan Shao is now a general and in charge of military affairs, he still does not have the right to dictate the local administrative system. How could he compare with the authority of the Qingzhou Mulai sealed by Yuan Shao himself? Besides, Liu Xie is in Yingchuan, and when Gao Ye says that he is fake, he is fake, and the real is also fake, not to mention that he is not true in the first place? As soon as Gao Ye's words came out, the name of righteousness that he originally thought he had disappeared in an instant.
Gao Ye saw that Yuan Tan's face was red at this time, and he knew that he was also angry, so he didn't want to add more fire, so he immediately smiled and said, "If the virtuous nephew is fine, let's take the troops back." It's not a trivial matter to easily cross the line. Now that the original expedition against Gongsun Chan is imminent, you, who are sons, it is better not to cause trouble easily. You, just aren't as well-behaved as your third brother, no wonder you're original, hehe, haha! ”
