Chapter 307: The Great Retreat of Yanjin (1)

The spring rain lingers and haunts the individual. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Deng Ji stood under the porch, looking at the rain curtain falling down the ridge, his brows tightly locked, revealing a thick worry and a trace of indescribable restlessness.

The rebellion of Taishou Changfeng in the East China Sea made Deng Ji have to postpone his departure from Haixi.

Xu Xuan, the assassin of Xuzhou, personally ordered Deng Ji to go to Xiapi and persuade him to leave later.

Including Deng Zhi, he also thinks that Deng Ji should not leave at this time. And Deng Zhi's reason is very sufficient, saying that the East China Sea is adjacent to the west of the Haixi, and Chang Feng gathered tens of thousands of people to welcome Liu Bei. At that time, Haixi will inevitably face a huge threat, and Deng Jishi should not leave at this time.

After all, Deng Ji has been running Haixi for four years, and his reputation is extraordinary.

The local people also have a lot to keep him, and if he leaves Haixi at this time, it will inevitably cause great turmoil.

On the other hand, Deng Zhi said: "Haixi, the Haixi of brothers." After four years of operation, what is the reason why you have to give it to others? If the brother stays in Haixi, the sea and the sky are wide, and there is room for tossing and turning; If you return to Xudu, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my brother to do anything. ”

Deng Zhi's words were a bit heart-wrenching.

But it is undeniable that Deng Ji is a little moved!

Haixi, he built it single-handedly, and how much effort has he put into it so far?

Even if Bu Qi took over, Deng Ji was a little reluctant. Moreover, he is like the emperor of the soil in Haixi, and even assassinating Shi Xu Xuan has to give him some face. If he left Haixi and returned to Xudu, he would be just one of many officials, and who would care about him? In the four years outside, Deng Ji is no longer the one who first arrived in Xudu, always cautious in everything, and joined the army with one arm like walking on thin ice. After experiencing so many things in Haixi, Deng Ji's heart is big and a little wild! Back then, he only hoped to become a member of the court lieutenant, slowly improve his qualifications, and get promoted; But now, that little wish of the past has long been left behind by him.

To go, or not to go?

Deng Ji was a little hesitant.

"Master, Mr. Puyang has arrived."

"Ah, please!"

Deng Ji heard this and hurriedly spoke.

Although Puyang Min has now stepped down from the post of Yilu Chief, he is still the second person under Deng Ji in Haixi......

The most important thing is that Puyang Min has always been Deng Ji's confidant.

After a while, Puyang Min's figure appeared in the two rooms.

"Uncle grandson, are you looking for me?"

"Come on, sir, it's drizzling and the weather is cool. I got a jar of wine, and I was about to ask my husband to taste it. ”

Deng Ji stepped forward quickly and greeted Puyang Min.

Pu Yang said with a smile: "I also have confidants, and I talk to my uncle and grandson." ”

"Oh, that's a coincidence, let's talk about things while we drink."

The two walked down the two corridors, through the middle pavilion, to the backyard.

A small pavilion stands in the middle of a tender green, and the rain is misty, as if a thin veil is shrouded in this garden.

The two sat down in the pavilion, and Hu Ban took his family to present the dishes and warm the wine on the wall.

Hu Ban waved his hand and motioned for all his family members to step down.

Then he sat down behind the mound and concentrated on warming the wine.

"In a blink of an eye, it's been more than three years!"

Puyang Min suddenly spoke, "I was disheartened at the beginning, and I couldn't bear the invitation of my uncle and grandson, so I finally came to this wasteland. Today, the frontier has become the pearl of the East China Sea, and the western part of the Taiwan Sea has broad prospects. I used to think that I would bury my bones here in this life, and I didn't think that there would be a time to go home. ”

An edict came from the imperial court, ordering Puyang to return to Xudu and serve as a doctor of the Five Classics of Taixue.

Deng Ji sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Duke Min, Ji has today, he has a lot of help from the public, and he respects the Duke of Min."

Puyang Hong, gladly accepted it.

The two drank a handful of wine, and Pu Yang said: "Uncle and grandson seem to have something on their minds? ”

"Oh, no."

"Hehe, I have been friends with my uncle and grandson for more than three years, and I can guess a thing or two about what is in your heart. In fact, I came today because I was entrusted by someone to have a heart-to-heart relationship with my uncle and grandson. ”

Deng Ji was stunned, "Who entrusted me?" ”

"Gong Miao picked up Yi Luchang, and before leaving, he told me that he hoped that you would stay."

Deng Ji's cheeks twitched, and he looked up at Pu Yanghong.

"Zishan is coming to Haixi soon, where do you want to go when the time comes?"

"This ......"

"I know my uncle and grandson's intentions, Liu Bei rebelled in the East China Sea, and my uncle and grandson wanted to take this opportunity to stay...... But don't forget, Zishan is recommended by Ah Fu. ”

"I know."

Deng Ji lowered his head, a little unsure of how to speak.

Puyang Min took a sip of wine and exhaled a turbid breath, "Gong Miao thinks that you should stay with your uncle and grandson."

But I don't see it that way...... I've read all my life, and I'm a bit stubborn, but I'm not a person who can't see the situation clearly. Uncle and grandson, how much can you do if you stay? To put it mildly, the development of Haixi has almost reached the extreme. If Huainan implements Tuntian in the coming year, the position of Haixi will inevitably be reduced. Of course, uncle and grandson, you are the Tuntian Governor, and you can continue to be in charge of Huainan Tuntian. But the question is...... Uncle and grandson, let me ask you a word from your heart, do you think you can be much stronger than Lu Bu? ”

Deng Ji shook his spirit and looked at Puyang Min.

"What do you mean by this?"

"That's right, Haixi was the one who single-handedly promoted Tuntian, and it was you who built it single-handedly.

But the shore of the land is not the king's land. No matter how well you govern Haixi, it will also be under the rule of the imperial court. The court transferred you to leave, but you didn't want to leave, could it be that you had a bad heart? Uncle and grandson, if you think you are more powerful than Lu Bu, but it is not a big problem to stay. ”

This is a very important remark.

Deng Ji bit his lip and clenched the bronze jue in his hand.

Even if I'm better than Lu Bu, what can I do? Didn't Lu Bu die at the hands of Cao Sikong?

"I know Gongmiao's thoughts, he thinks that Haixi should be owned by the Deng family......

I also know that Gong Miao has been asking you to recruit the Thornyang people. In the past two years, how many people surnamed Deng have moved from Haixi? You know it in your own heart. In the yatang, in the public house, the people surnamed Deng live in two or three out of ten, and they seem to be powerful, but in fact, they are ......

Uncle grandson, I ask you.

Will Lao Zhou follow you? Will the tiger head obey you? Pan Wenqi, are you willing to obey your orders? Feng Chao agreed or not, are you here to prosper the Deng clan?

Normally, they will listen to you.

But if you have distracting thoughts, you see if they will say yes.

I know, you want to revitalize the family. But the problem is, you don't have that ability and capital right now. Look at Ah Fu, he is already a member of the Cao Gong clan, what about it? It's not at the mercy of the dispatch! What Cao Gong ordered him to do, he would never hesitate. Because he sees it better than you do...... You want to stay, your wife, your son, what should you do? Do you really think that the Haixi people will be of the same mind as you? ”

"I ......"

"The Thorn Yang Deng Clan is a matter of the Thorn Yang Deng Clan.

Now that you have broken away from the Thorn Yang Deng clan, why bother to forget it? Although Gong Miao's resourcefulness is good, sometimes his heart is bigger.

It's not a good thing that the heart is too big. Especially when your heart covers your eyes, there will be a disaster of killing your head. ”

"That'...... I'll go back. ”

"No, you shouldn't go back now."

"Huh?"

"I think it's not appropriate for you to return to Xudu now, but you should go to Xiapi and assist Xu Xuan.

In terms of politics alone, Zishan is not inferior to you, and even stronger than you. But he has always been in Huainan with Ah Fu, and he doesn't know too much about this place. This rebellion in the 37 counties of the East China Sea, even if Zishan has the ability to deal with it, he is afraid that it will be difficult to have a clue for a while. If you leave with your hands, it will give people the suspicion of anger. And Gongmiao may even take the opportunity to embarrass Zishan, and when the time comes, it will be you who will be in trouble......"

"So what should I do?"

"Go to Xiapi and give advice to Xu Xuan.

As for the rebellion in Donghai County, you can convey your thoughts through Xu Xuan's mouth. In this way, even if the male seedlings are dissatisfied, they do not dare to disobey the order. And Zishan can also be calmly arranged...... After he stabilized the situation, even if Gongmiao was dissatisfied, he was helpless. ”

Deng Ji pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Sir, but in this way, Gong Miao ......"

Pu Yang Min took a sip of wine and said in a deep voice: "Gongmiao is talented, but he has a big heart and is very selfish.

I think that by letting him stay here, he can hone a little more. Selfishness is not a bad thing, but what I am afraid of is this selfishness and blindfolding. ”

Deng Ji was silent!

Pu Yang Min's words made him feel empowered.

Is Pu Yang Min just talking about Deng Zhi?

Not necessarily!

I'm afraid he's more mentioning Deng Ji.

Deng Ji is more powerful than Puyang Min, but on some issues, Puyang Min sees it more clearly than Deng Ji.

In the past two years, Deng Ji's heart has become bigger, and people seem to be a little floating. There were even times when he had the idea of competing with Cao Peng. Many people are saying that Deng Ji can have today's achievements, and he has a lot of friends. Including many important positions in Haixi, all of them were arranged by Cao Peng. In other words, Deng Ji was eating the old book left by Cao Peng, and Cao Peng's reputation was getting bigger and bigger, which made Deng Ji jealous. This jealousy will inevitably be blindfolded! From the appointment of Haixi officials, we can see the changes in Deng Ji's heart. The people left behind by Cao Peng gradually distanced themselves from Deng Ji, and began to appoint Deng's children instead......

Pu Yanghong always wanted to talk to Deng Ji, but he didn't have the opportunity.

When the timing of his resignation this time came, he simply made his words clear.

Don't have the idea of competing with your brother, to be honest, your brother doesn't value these things at all, he and you are on two different paths.

The rain has stopped!

Deng Ji was still sitting in the pavilion.

When Pu Yang Min left, he couldn't remember it clearly, and there was a lot of loss in his heart.

Perhaps, it is time for me to leave Haixi!

Although Haixi is developing well, it is such a big place after all. Stay in a corner, thinking that you can excel, but in fact? wanted Guo Jia to help him at the beginning, hoping to give him more experience. Later, Deng Ji seemed to be a little confused.

"Huban, I've been ...... lately. Has it really changed? ”

Hu Ban said softly: "Master, you haven't written to Madame for a long time. ”

"Huh?"

Deng Ji raised his head, "Is there one?" ”

"Since your wife left last year, you have written three letters at the beginning and have never written again...... Madame's letter, you didn't reply. ”

In my heart, a sudden surge of guilt swelled up.

Deng Ji took a deep breath, revealing a touch of bitterness.

It turns out that I have really changed!

thinks about how many grievances Cao Nan shared with him back then, and silently endured many grievances. When leaving Xudu, Deng Ji often missed his wife and children, but in the past year, the number of times he missed his wife and children was significantly less than before. It is estimated that Cao Nan didn't tell anyone, otherwise Ah Fu would have written to reprimand him a long time ago...... Thinking about it carefully, Deng Ji felt that what Pu Yanghong said was not wrong at all: how could he really control Haixi?

The patrol of Haixi is in charge of Feng Chao.

The Xiangyong of Haixi was under the commander of Zhou Cang......

Pan Zhang is the person who received Cao Peng; Wang Mai is Cao Peng's brother.

It is said that Deng Ji built today's Haixi, but it is better to say that Cao Peng single-handedly laid a solid foundation for him.

can be imagined, if he and Cao Peng turn against each other, these people under his command will leave him without hesitation. But before that, Deng Ji didn't notice it. He always thought that he had created today's Haixi, but in retrospect, this was not the case.

The most prosperous bazaar in Haixi was the guild organization founded by Cao Peng.

And Cao Peng's reputation is getting louder and louder, and his reputation in the Central Plains is also getting bigger and bigger. Previously, when Huang Quan, the head of the gold market, came from Luoyang, he also praised Cao Peng's achievement. At that time, Deng Ji didn't listen to a word, and only indulged in his own small world.

No, if I continue to stay here, I will be more and more different from Ah Fu.

I am his brother-in-law, how can I be compared to him?

Back to Xudu, only by returning to Xudu, can I go further......

"Hu Ban, pack your luggage, and when Zishan arrives, we will go to Xiapi."

When Hu Ban heard this, he immediately laughed.

"I'll arrange it!"

Hercy, too small, too small......

——————————————————————————

On the twenty-third day of the first month of the fifth year of Jian'an, Bu Qi was appointed as the governor of Haixi.

After Deng Ji left office, he did not return to Xudu immediately, but took his retainers and servants and went straight to Xiapi.

After a secret conversation with Xu Xuan, Xu Xuan temporarily took Deng Ji as Xuzhou to work, and ordered someone to play the court and inform the actual situation one by one.

On the 25th, Liu Bei started an incident in Tan County, and transmitted the text made by Chen Lin to the East China Sea, echoing Yuan Shaoyao.

On the same day, Liu Bei ordered Lu Bu's false son Lu Ji to be the magistrate of Qu County, and ordered Lu Ji to go out of Zhenqu County and threaten Yilu. But just when Lu Ji just left Tan County, Zhou Cang led the navy to set off from Yuzhou Mountain and landed at Qishan. And Yilu Chang Deng Zhi led the troops to attack and occupied Qu County.

On the 27th, Pan Zhang, the commander of Dunqiu, attacked with light cavalry and ambushed Lüji at Yushan and won a complete victory.

On the 28th, Xiahou Yuan and Lü Qian sent troops from Mount Tai and Langya to attack Donghai County. On the same day, Zang Ba sent a message and ordered Changfeng to surrender......

However, Cao Peng is not much grateful for these things.

He was even more unclear about the reasons for what happened to Deng Ji in Haixi.

The day after killing Wen Chou and capturing Gao Lan, Cao Peng was ordered to come to the Duting Pavilion and take over the defense of the Duting Pavilion.

Gan Ning was appointed as a marching horseman, similar to the position of chief of staff; Kan Ze is the anchor, and Xiahou Lan and Hao Zhao are respectively awarded the position of military Sima, and they are divided into two infantry cavalry. An inspection lieutenant has five military commanders, each with 400 people. Cao Peng has not yet taken office, and the team in his hands has begun to take shape. At the same time, along with Cao Peng, there was also a young man named Tian Yu, who served as a military officer.

On the day Cao Peng took office, Yuan Shao launched an attack on Cao ***.

It's just that this time, Cao *** was prepared, and Ming Lejin moved closer to him, making the formation extremely compact, so that Yuan Shao finally returned in vain.

But within two days, Cao *** gave up the camp and retreated to the sour jujube for defense.

The battle between the two sides once again fell into a stalemate, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while...... At this time, Cao Peng couldn't take care of Cao ***. Although he clearly knew that this war ended with Cao ***'s complete victory. But when the war got to this point, he couldn't help much.

What's more, he also has important matters in his hands that need to be resolved as soon as possible......
