Chapter 114: Fortune Telling in Shiting Town
After Tao Ying finished speaking, he asked Zhang Zhao to accompany Wang Lang and Kong Rong, and rode forward to escort Tao Qian's coffin towards Shiting Town. But don't go, it seems that follow Tao Ying all the way to Pengcheng, which will offend the Xuzhou herding pottery merchants, maybe the pottery merchants will remember it in their hearts, and they will have a hard time in the future!
After nearly an afternoon of bumping on horseback, the team of nearly 100 people arrived at the border of Shiting Town, came to the boundary of Shiting Town, came to the boundary monument, and was greeted by a wide road. The road can accommodate four horse-drawn carriages.
Although the road surface is a mixture of soil and something, it gives people a sense of paradise like a strange traffic and a smell of chickens and dogs as soon as they enter Shiting Town.
On both sides of the road are wheat fields hidden in the snow, and at a glance there are endless wheat fields, where the wheat fields meet the sky, and the smoke rises from the curling cooking, and huge villages appear in front of you.
It's just a boundary marker, there is such a big difference, on one side there is no one to live, and on the other side is the smell of chickens and dogs, which makes Beihai Xiangkong Rong and Huiji Taishou Wang Lang both shocked. Seeing the two of them with surprised expressions on their faces, when they arrived at their hometown, Zhang Zhao also said with some pride: "Prime Minister Kong, Wang Taishou, this is already the boundary of Peng Chengguo." Less than thirty miles ahead, you will arrive at Shiting Town, the northernmost part of Pengcheng, Shiting Town is the smallest city in Pengcheng, if there is no good hospitality, please forgive me! ”
After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, the two of them were also busy saying: "Lord Zhang is polite, we have always heard that the second son has a good way of educating the people, but we never thought that I had just experienced a big war, and I couldn't see a beggar in Pengcheng, everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, the fertile land was thousands of miles, and the green smoke was curling, it was like a fairyland on earth, where it seemed to be a place that had just experienced the devastation of war!" ”
The two were a little impressed, but Zhang Zhao said: "This is the border, it's nothing, if the two adults can go to Pengcheng, Pengcheng is like heaven on earth!" ”
As soon as he said this, both of them had the urge to go to Pengcheng to have a look. However, they knew that after sending Tao Ying to Shiting Town, they would have to leave. Wang Lang decided to return to Huiji after passing through Pengchengguo from Shiting Town, and then to Xiapi to spend Guangling.
It was getting dark, and after a day of walking, finally after dark, a team of more than a hundred people arrived at Shiting Town, an important town in the north. When Shiting Town heard that the coffin of the assassin was going to pass from now on, everything had already been prepared, and the officials of Shiting Town greeted him ten miles outside Shiting Town two days in advance.
Everyone rushed to Shiting Town, they were all tired, Kong Rong and Wang Lang still came to enjoy the landscape of Shiting Town, and after entering the city, they rushed to the post station to rest. Tao Ying and the others asked Tao Qian's coffin to be put away, and they also went back to the post station to stay. After a day of traveling, he was very tired, and Tao Ying fell asleep after lying down for a while.
There was no word all night, and after dawn the next day, Tao Ying washed up, and the chickens crowed several times. The people outside the post station heard that the coffin of the assassin came to Shiting Town, and the people came to mourn, and the whole Shiting Town was sad for a while. After pacifying the people, Tao Ying led Kong Rong and Wang Lang to walk around the city.
Zhang Zhao and Zhao Yun accompanied Wang Lang and Kong Rong through the streets, the streets were covered with white cloth, and all entertainment activities were canceled, but the wide roads, well-planned streets and clear rivers all told the beauty and delicacy of the small town of Shiting Town. A few people walked all the way to the middle of Shiting Town, where there was a school.
Tao Ying built in the north of the first comprehensive school - Po Cao School, covers an area of one-twentieth of the size of Shiting Town, the surrounding buildings are more and more, the road has become a little narrow, the stone paved street, walking on it has a feeling of walking in the south of the Yangtze River.
Po Cao School is a comprehensive school, and at the same time it is the largest tourist attraction in Shiting Town, where Tao Ying and Cao Cao signed the Shiting Covenant last year. The signing of the Shiting Covenant established Tao Ying's supremacy in the hearts of the people of Xuzhou, and the Shiting Covenant also humiliated Cao Cao fiercely, so that the people of Yanzhou have lived in the humiliation of Xuzhou for generations.
Everything seemed to have just happened in front of him, and the words inscribed by Cao Cao on the stone pavilion were still vigorous and powerful, Kong Rong couldn't help but sigh in his heart after watching it: "Cao Mengde is so heroic, he will end up like this, it is really sad and lamentable!" ”
Hearing that Tao Ying was going to come to worship the Stone Pavilion's Covenant Pavilion, the Stone Pavilion Taishou had already imposed martial law here, and several people sat in the Stone Pavilion, Tao Ying was even more emotional. However, he didn't have time to talk about the previous war, but Wang Lang reminded: "Gongzi said yesterday that he would calculate a hexagram for us when he arrived in Shiting Town, I wonder if Gongzi can calculate a hexagram for us today?" ”
As soon as he mentioned the matter of divination, Tao Ying frowned again, Zhang Zhao and Kong Rong also stared at Tao Ying, Tao Ying sighed and said: "Alas, if you fold your life, you will fold your life, today you will count a hexagram with the two Taishou, if there is any offense, look at Haihan!" ”
As soon as he heard that Tao Ying had come to see the heavenly opportunity to tell the hexagram for himself, the two of them also sat up, and everything seemed so sacred. Tao Ying muttered in his heart, how should he count with them? Alas, it doesn't matter, anyway, you can go wherever you can!
So Tao Ying pinched his fingers, thought about it and thought, according to historical records, Qingzhou is Yuan Tan's territory, then now Kong Rong is in Beihai, Beihai belongs to Qingzhou's territory, needless to say, it won't be long before Beihai will be broken and occupied by Yuan Tan.
Thinking of this, Tao Ying opened his eyes and asked: "Kong Guoxiang, I will first make a hexagram for you, if the hexagram is offended, I hope to forgive me!" ”
Kong Rong sat on the stone bench, which was where Cao Cao sat back then. The weather in February was still not a little cold, and Tao Ying blew in the wind for a while, and his nose was so cold that his snot flowed down.
"The second son, but it doesn't hurt to say it's okay, how can I blame the will of heaven?"
After Kong Rong finished speaking, Tao Ying squinted his eyes again and pretended to continue to count, but only he knew to see if he could make some benefits here. This Kong Rong is one of the seven sons of Jian'an, and his literary talent is well-known, if he can invite him to teach in Xuzhou, with the prestige of his Confucian family, coupled with Kong Rong's fame, then Pengcheng will not become the holy land of Han literature?
Thinking of this, Tao Ying suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Although I have never been out of Xuzhou, nor have I been to Qingzhou, but at this time, I think Prime Minister Kong must be having a hard time in Qingzhou!" ”
After Tao Ying finished speaking, Kong Rong gasped and asked, "Why is it sad?" ”
Wang Lang also came over, and several people looked at Tao Ying attentively, Tao Ying looked around, there was no one else around, Tao Ying said again: "If I compromise Yangshou to calculate this hexagram for Kong Guo, Kong Xiangguo needs to promise me one thing!" Seeing that Tao Ying was so serious, Kong Rong became more and more curious.
