Chapter 136: Lu County Crisis

Hua Xin broke off relations with Guan Ning in the past, and today for the sake of the lord Su Chen, he let go of the unhappiness in his heart and cheekily visited Guan Ning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason why he wanted to visit with Bingyuan was because he considered that if there was no Bingyuan, maybe Guan Ning would not even open the door, so he insisted on pulling him to the door together.

Guan Ning lives alone, and there are no servants to serve, when he saw that the person knocking on the door was Hua Xin, he instinctively wanted to close it again, then Bing Yuan came out to relieve the siege and said: "You'an is slow, the reason why I am willing to accompany Ziyu to the door today is not for private matters, but for official business, if You'an cares about hundreds of thousands of people in Beihai Kingdom, you might as well let us go in first, let Ziyu understand, okay?" ”

Sure enough, hearing Bing Yuan say this, although Guan Ning frowned, the movements in his hands stopped, and he looked at Guan Ning behind Bing Yuan, and saw that his face was heavy, and it didn't seem to be fake, so he agreed: "Okay, for the sake of the root today, and let him enter the door, if you can't say why, Hugh will ask someone to sweep you out of the house." ”

The second half of the sentence was said to Hua Xin, but he didn't care at all, the words were squeezed, and it was not worth mentioning to him.

When I entered the house, the room was not big and the furnishings were very simple, so it could be seen that Guan Ning was living a very poor life. In the spirit of etiquette, let the two of them sit down, and he immediately asked, "Since Your Excellency has business to discuss, please speak up." ”

Hearing this, Bing Yuan didn't know what to say, and looked straight at Hua Xin, Hua Xin arched his hand, and said: "You'an, you and I were classmates in the past, because of some misunderstandings, you and I cut off the relationship, but Xi can cut off, these past friendships can't be parted, whether you recognize it or not, in my heart, You'an will always be my like-minded friend." ”

"Who is your kindred spirit?" When Guan Ning heard him talk about the past, he suddenly said with a little anger: "You take your Yangguan Road, I cross my single-plank bridge, you and I are different, and we don't conspire with each other." ”

"Definitely!" Hua Xin interrupted him and retorted: "You'an, you said that you don't want to conspire with each other, please forgive me for not agreeing, dare to ask, where is You'an's way?" ”

"My way, my way is in the Confucian scriptures, in the rectification of prestige, in the courtesy, in the study of teachers, in the behavior of teachers, but not in the world, let alone in the officialdom." Speaking of his ambitions, Guan Ning was quite complacent.

"Your way is just a small way!" After listening to Guan Ning's words, Hua Xin retorted again.

"Humph!" Hua Xin's words completely angered him, and he asked disdainfully: "My way is a small way, so I don't know what your way is?" How can it be called a great road? ”

These words seem to be doubtful, but in fact they are disdain for Hua Xin and contempt for him, Hua Xin was not angry after hearing it, but told him about a person: "You'an has ever heard that Bei Zhonglang will capture Su Po? ”

Guan Ning replied: "How could the famous Su Poyu not know, how? Do you want to climb his high branches? ”

Guan Ning has a deep memory of the scene of Hua Xin's envious officials traveling in the past, so he picked up this past incident and squeezed him on the spot.

"No, I am already a general of the military division under General Su of Beizhonglang, and this time I came to Beihai to follow the military order of General Su, and the officials of Beihai of Liannuo attacked the army of Guanhai from the east and west, so that the Yellow Turban will no longer be a disaster for Qingzhou."

"The general is thirsty for talent, not long ago when he visited Wang Yanfang of the plains, he said a few words to him, 'Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations', after Wang Shi heard it, he was deeply touched, and he promised General Su to go to Taihang Academy to teach, and the villagers in the township moved north to avoid trouble.

"You and I had a misunderstanding in the past, you like to read quietly, I saw the officials traveling, threw down the books to watch, do you think I really like glory and wealth?"

"My generation of scholars, learn literature and martial arts, sell to the emperor's family, if there is glory and wealth, it is naturally good, if not, do not be discouraged, whether it is an official or a preacher, it is to show what you have learned in your chest, as General Su said, it is the mission of our scholars."

"Young An is full of talent, old in the mountains and forests, isn't he living up to the teachings of his former teacher? If so, why bother to study, just be a farmer, work at sunrise and rest at sunset, isn't it fast? ”

"Since our teacher does not hesitate to preach to us, how can we cherish the truth of the broom that we have learned all our lives? Therefore, I am here to seek talents for General Su, even if You'an is unwilling to enter the officialdom, he can also enter the Taihang Academy to teach, so isn't it also a contribution to the people? ”

"This ......" After listening to Hua Xin's persuasion, Guan Ning suddenly found that he seemed to have no way to refute, yes, if he couldn't use what he had learned in his chest, why did he study in the first place?

Reading is for the sake of enlightenment, but what about after enlightenment?

He didn't seem to have thought about this truth, if he was restless today, maybe it was time for him to give back.

Seeing that Guan Ning was no longer as oily and salty as Fang Cai, and had even been moved by him, Hua Xin continued: "You'an, you and I are private, General Su is a public to you, now the yellow scarf is a disaster, the world is restless, the general is very serious in seeking talents, I just hope to help His Majesty today to calm the world as soon as possible, and return the people to a bright future, so that the people will no longer be scattered and scattered, and eat with their children, isn't it a great merit?" ”

Guan Ning didn't speak again, but Bing Yuan was persuaded and interjected: "Ziyu, I have to say, you met a Bole, I only heard about General Su's martial arts in the past, but I didn't expect the general to have such feelings of worrying about the country and the people. ”

"Is this true?" Hua Xin was overjoyed, this was really an accident.

"A gentleman's words, a quick horse and a whip, is there no true reason?" After saying that, Bing Yuan looked at Guan Ning again, and said: "Besides, a hero like General Su is rare in a hundred years, Yu has long wanted to meet him, You'an, are you willing to wait with me?" ”

Seeing the eager eyes of the two, Guan Ning finally nodded, and then said: "Hua Ziyu, although I promised you to meet General Su, but it is not because of you, but to see if this legendary hero is worthy of his name, if it is really as you say, I will go to Taihang Academy to teach, I heard that Cai is the dean there, and it will be good to learn from each other in the future." ”

"Understood, understood!"

He also knew that the contradiction between the two could not be resolved overnight, no matter what, after getting these two people, he finally felt that he had lived up to the expectations of the lord, and Sun Wei and Wang Yu also had a good impression of Su Chen before, and when the yellow scarf was broken, these two might not be under the command of the lord.

Not to mention Hua Xin's call in Lu County, and said that Su Chen sent Zhang Liao to lead three thousand Han Ying to steal the camp, Guan Hai was already sleepy and tired, and there was almost no fortification at night, because in his mind, the enemy came from afar, and after a big battle during the day, he must have been exhausted, how could he come to steal the camp?

But what he never expected was that Zhang Liao still came, not only came, but also caused him a lot of losses, the only remaining little grain and grass was burned to ashes by a fire, the army pulled out of the camp overnight, and then left an unknown number of people, Guan Hai led the main force to escape from a hundred miles away, so he dared to re-camp.

After taking an inventory, we found that the original army of one million was now scattered and scattered with less than 500,000, and among these 500,000 people, there are many old, weak, sick and disabled, and no more than 200,000 can really pick up swords and guns and go to the battlefield.

suffered such a big loss, he naturally had to find a way to make up for it, not to mention that the army was about to run out of food, and it happened to be in front of Linqu County, Guan Hai swept away the ruined Linqu County, and there were not many captures, but the crisis of food shortages was finally avoided.

After settling down in Linqu, this time he learned to be smart, and kept releasing horses to investigate the traces of Su Chen's army, and what made him depressed was that Zhang Liao had been following him behind his ass like a ghost with Han Image, and from time to time he would come to a blow, which made him tired of it.

Just when he was at a loss, an old acquaintance found him, and this person was Zhang Rao.

Zhang Rao is also a Taiping Taoist, but his status is not high, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, he returned to his hometown Beihai to raise troops, relying on robbing homes and houses, killing the rich and helping the poor, taking advantage of the East Wind of the Yellow Turban Uprising, he really let him pull up a team of tens of thousands of people in his hometown.

After having a team, his courage also became bigger, and he gathered in the mountains and forests on weekdays, went to rich villages from time to time to plunder, and slowly coerced the people, and in just a few months, the original team of 10,000 people snowballed, multiplied fivefold.

As the saying goes, when the gun is hard, the waist can be hard, with 50,000 troops in hand, Zhang Rao's ambition in his heart is getting bigger and bigger, he wants to attack the county seat.

Unexpectedly, the first time he made a move, he met a man who made him nightmarish, this person was Wu Anguo, the first master in Beihai, Wu Anguo beheaded five of his generals in a day, killing him to the point that he was scattered, and he cowered on the mountain and did not dare to come out.

In Zhang Rao's heart, Wu Anguo is the person he hates the most, when he heard that Guan Hai's army arrived in Linqu, this made Zhang Rao see the hope of revenge, so he found Guan Hai, because he was also a believer in the church, Guan Hai incorporated him, and after he joined forces inside and outside, he broke through Zhuxu County.

Zhu Xuke is a big county, there are nearly 200,000 people in Dingkou, the food is sufficient, the city wall is tall, if it is attacked, it will definitely not be able to break through for a while, but Zhang Rao has believers in the city, and it is also a strong family, so he unexpectedly came to a combination of inside and outside.

After Guan Hai entered Zhuxu County, he killed and looted, and a originally prosperous county town became a dead city in an instant, and the people either rushed to flee, and those who did not escape were either hidden, or were captured by Guan Hai Zhuang Ding, no matter what, with enough food supplements, the army was finally able to restore some morale.

At this time, Zhang Rao put forward a request to attack Lu County and find Wu Anguo to take revenge, after Guan Hai heard it, he also felt that this seemed to be a good choice, as long as Lu County was broken, then he would have a greater strategic maneuver, and it would not be so easy for Su Chen to deal with him at that time, so he set his sights on Lu County, the county seat where the first family of Qingzhou and King Kang lived.
