Chapter Ninety-Six: Changes in the North Sea
After stabilizing the city, Yang Xu personally went down to the city to greet Zhao Yun, who returned victorious.
"Zilong, I didn't expect you to make such a great contribution in your first battle!" Yang Xu said with a smile from afar.
When Zhao Yun saw Yang Xu greeting him, he immediately dismounted, stepped forward and knelt on one knee, and said, "Thanks to the lord's trust!" Zilong was able to capture Pang De alive and defeat the 20,000 Xiliang army! ”
Yang Xu hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong is really superior in martial arts, this battle is enough to make the Liangzhou army frightened!" Let's go into town! ”
Zhao Yun hesitated: "Lord, Zilong pursued the remnants of Ma Teng's vanguard and encountered Ma Teng's army, and it is estimated that he will be able to rush to Anding City tonight!" ”
Yang Xu paused, and after a while, he said with a smile: "Don't worry about Zilong, Ma Tengjun is coming, and there are other generals to fight, now you just need to have a good rest!" ”
He glanced at Zhao Yun's armor robe, which was covered with blood, and added: "By the way, I also changed the armor, covered in blood, I really can't show your Zhao Zilong's demeanor!" ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey!"
At this time in Beihai, Kong Rong was feasting Liu Bei's three brothers!
"Come, let's toast Xuande Xian Brother first! Thank you for his help! Kong Rong led the Wenchen generals under his command to raise their glasses together.
"Master Kong praised it falsely, he is also a great Han courtier, how dare Xuande sit back and watch the yellow turban slaughter the people and poison the living beings!" After Liu Bei finished speaking, he drank it all. He actually wanted to thank Kong Rong in his heart, if Kong Rong hadn't sent a letter asking for help, he really didn't know what reason to find to leave the plain and avoid Yuan Shao's troops, although he broke Gao Gan's 20,000 army last time, but he also knew that he was on Yuan Shao's blacklist! If you stay in the plains all the time, the next time Yuan Shao personally leads a large army to attack, he will really be unable to escape!
After everyone had drunk, the maid poured it again!
At this time, a scribe left his seat with a wine glass and walked in front of Liu Bei: "I heard that the plain is under the rule of Xuande Gong, the night is not closed, and the road is not forgotten, Gongyou thought it was just a rumor, and now I see the general's demeanor, which makes Gongyou admire, so this glass of thin wine, Sun Qian respects Xuande Gong!" ”
This person is a newcomer to Kong Rong, surnamed Sun Qianzi Gongyou, and was named a counselor by Kong Rong!
"Where is it, Gongyou laughed, Xuande is just a martial artist, how can he know how to govern, it's just the right time!" Liu Bei smiled and motioned to drink the wine.
Then everyone talked and laughed, introduced by Kong Rong, Liu Bei also knew his civil and military, the military general Wu Anguo was the leader, although the Tiger Prison was a battle, lost his right arm, and the force value was greatly reduced, but Kong Rong cared about the old feelings, and his status was still unshakeable.
There is also a young general, born heroic and extraordinary, between conversations, full of boldness, Liu Bei took a look at this person and felt that this person was extraordinary, after some talking, I learned that from then on, the surname of the person is Taishi, the name is Ci, and the word is righteous! Tai Shici said that he wanted to go to Yangzhou to join Liu Xuan, but he didn't want to hear that Liu Xuan was destroyed by Sun Ce a few days ago, and it was worth the Yellow Turban siege, so he temporarily joined Kong Rong's command.
"Cast for now!" When Liu Bei heard these two words, his eyes lit up! "Doesn't that mean I still have a chance?" So he continued to get close to Tai Shi Citao.
After the feast, everyone went home.
But after Liu Bei arrived in Beihai, it was like being consumed with Kong Rong, and several times Kong Rong signaled that he could lead his troops back to the plain, but Liu Bei shirked and said that the yellow scarf had not been extinguished and that he needed to wait for a few days.
For half a month, Liu Bei took the two brothers to Tai Shi Ci to drink and pull the relationship, and finally, Tai Shi Ci sank!
"Ziyi greets the lord!" Tai Shici bowed heavily to Liu Bei and said loyally.
Liu Bei hurriedly helped Tai Shici up, his face was smiling, "Brother Meng Ziyi can afford Liu Bei, and we will be commensurate with brothers in the future!" ”
"Lord!" Tai Shi Cihu was in tears, and he was grateful!
At this time, the guards spread the word that Kong Rong had something to discuss!
Liu Bei was puzzled and followed the guards into the Taishou Mansion.
"Master Kong, I don't know what to do with Xuande?" Liu Bei saw Kong Rong and bowed! Asked!
"Xuande, you're here!" Kong Rong said politely.
Liu Bei raised his head and looked at the big bags and small bags in front of him, as well as many books, and Wang Xiu, Sun Gan and Wu Anguo stood next to him! Confused for a moment!
"Master Kong, what are you?"
"Xuande, I won't tell you, the old man is old, and it is inconvenient to govern a city again! So I am ready to go to Xuchang, to a certain idle job of the Son of Heaven, and concentrate on studying the scriptures! Kong Rong sighed, and then instructed his subordinates to be careful with the scroll.
"It's old!" Liu Bei felt that the sky was falling, and he scolded in his heart: "You are only over forty, you are too old, you don't have to be so reluctant to find a reason!" ”
Kong Rong looked at Liu Bei, who was stunned, again, and said seriously: "Xuande, this Beihai will be handed over to you!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned! I couldn't understand Kong Rong's thoughts, and I somehow thought of going to Xuchang and handing over my family to Liu Bei, an outsider!
In fact, Kong Rong's idea is very simple, one of them is also tired, after becoming the Taishou of Beihai, he has not stopped, today the yellow turban will make trouble, and tomorrow the bandits will attack, let him a literati worry about these military affairs, it is simply to catch ducks on the shelves, he has been tortured to numbness.
Second, the yellow scarf was finally exterminated, and Liu Bei didn't leave, and he repeatedly signaled, but he kept shirking it, and simply thought of leaving, anyway, this Taishou was not comfortable.
When the others were still shocked by the news, Liu Bei reacted first, "Master Kong, don't do it!" ”
But Kong Rong ignored him, and said to Wang Xiu, Sun Qian, and Wu Anguo: "You three, whether you go or stay, follow yourselves!" ”
As soon as Kong Rong's voice fell, Wang Xiu spoke first: "Lord, Wang Xiu has been doing business with the lord for many years, and now the lord is going to Xuchang, Wang Xiu should go with him!" ”
Sun Qian continued: "I am originally from Beihai, and I can't bear to leave, so please forgive me!" ”
Wu Anguo also smiled bitterly at this time, and said: "Although the last general also wants to follow the lord to Xuchang, but Cao Cao has many good generals, how can he take a fancy to me, a waste!" ”
"Alright! All right! You choose your own path in the future, and the old man won't say much! Kong Rong glanced at the three of them, sighed, looked back at the next person, and asked, "Are you ready?" ”
"It's all packed, sir!" A group of subordinates answered intermittently!
"When it's all ready, load it into the carriage outside the door!" Kong Rong commanded again.
More than a dozen people heard the order, and moved Kong Rong's things one by one, Kong Rong's things are not much, except for the things he carries, the others are books, if there were so many books in the past, it is estimated that he will have to load several big cars, since Yongzhou's paper was sold to Beihai, Kong Rong has all replaced them with paper books, and it is much easier to move.
Kong Rong also followed behind everyone and walked out of the house.
Liu Bei caught up and was about to speak, but he didn't expect Kong Rong to suddenly turn around, and told Liu Bei again: "Xuande, this Beihai is full of smoke, and the people are miserable. ”
After speaking, he turned his head and left. Wang Xiu, Sun Gan and Wu Anguo also followed.
"What do you want me to be the Taishou!" Liu Bei secretly complained in his heart, "Master Kong, didn't you dig a pit for me?" You are gone, I will be the Taishou, what do the people of the world think, say that I am noisy, and that I am a wolf ambition? The reputation that has been won so hard will be ruined in one fell swoop! ”
Looking at Kong Rong's back, Liu Bei smiled bitterly and muttered: "This is really gone!" ”
