"Teacher."

Soon, Han Fei and Cui Yan came to Zheng Xuan's residence, Han Fei gently lifted the curtain cage and walked in, only to see Zheng Xuan lying on the collapse, with a mat spread under him, and on the side of the collapse, two maids stood on the side to take care of it, Zheng Xuan's eyes seemed to be open and closed, as if he was pretending to sleep, and his brows were slightly furrowed, and he could see that the old man was not comfortable.

Han Fei stepped forward and called softly.

"Oh, it's Xueyuan." Zheng Xuan opened his eyes slightly, looked in front of him, and saw that it was Han Fei, "You only left in the morning, why did you come back again?" As a teacher, I heard that you have a lot of military affairs, and I know your concern, but this is just a minor illness for the teacher, and you can't delay your major event. ”

Han Fei came over to say hello to the teacher in the morning, only then did he know that the teacher was sick, and he was busy helping Fu Zhu and Liu Hui in the morning, and it was just after noon, Han Fei was worried about the teacher's illness, so he prepared sour plum soup.

"Some miscellaneous things, it's okay to have Feng Xiao here, but it's the teacher's body," Han Fei stepped forward, and Cui Yan gently helped Zheng Xuan up, leaning on a pillow, "The teacher is old, if you don't pay attention, it's a big deal." The weather in Jizhou is hot and sultry, not better than Gaomi, Mr. Zhang even prescribed a few pairs of medicines and did not see the effect, the disciple just heard a home remedy, it is said that it has a good effect on the heat, so I boiled some to see if it had an effect on the teacher. Teacher, how about trying this sour plum soup? ”

"Sour plum soup?" Hearing Han Fei's words, Zheng Xuan stroked his hair with his hand, his eyes showed a look of surprise, and his gaze quickly fell on the bamboo tube that Han Fei was holding in his hand.

For coming to Jizhou, Zheng Xuan has no regrets at all, here. Han Fu respects him very much, and Han Fei, a disciple, is also very filial to him, and now his son has a job in Jizhou. I believe that with the care of the Han family's father and son, it will not be wrong in the future; And I have to be idle and pure, write books and speak, and live a comfortable life.

However, Zheng Xuan also vaguely saw that Jizhou was peaceful on the surface, but there was also a fierce current underneath. Although he doesn't care about politics now, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have these visions.

In this way, I am also worried about the future.

Meantime. Some of what he heard and seemed to him also made him realize that he, a disciple who had closed the door, seemed to have other plans. I heard that he has recruited three new generals. The names are Gao Shun, Cao Xing, and Huang Zhong, but they have never been seen in Jizhou for many days, and their families are still in Yecheng, so where have these people gone?

Also, where did the armies called "beggars" and "broken armies" go?

The more I thought about it. I feel more and more that this closed disciple is not simple.

Seeing that Zheng Xuan's eyes had fallen on the bamboo tube, he handed the bamboo tube over. With a slight smile, Han Fei said, "Teacher, the sour plum soup is here, how about tasting it?" ”

"Oh?"

Zheng Xuan stretched out his hand to take the bamboo tube, opened it casually, and saw at a glance that there were a little yellow osmanthus petals in the bamboo tube, as well as the crimson soup. When Zheng Xuan was working under the emperor before, he also ate a lot of delicacies, but this sour plum soup was the first time he had seen it. Since the soup had become cold, there was no aroma overflowing, but this did not affect Zheng Xuan's attention to this sour plum soup.

In the past two months, he knows very well that every time this disciple is unexpected, he will always drum up something that no one has ever seen, but these things, big or small, have their own unique effects, although Zheng Xuan also opposes Han Fei's obvious craftsman atmosphere, but seeing that he is not studying it, it is not easy to say something.

What's even more rare is Han Fei's filial piety.

Cui Yan took two porcelain bowls at this time, Han Fei took the bamboo tube again, poured the sour plum soup into the two porcelain bowls respectively, and handed one of the wooden bowls to Zheng Xuan along with the spoon.

After Zheng Xuan took it, he first scooped up a black plum with a spoon and put it in his mouth with the soup. The entrance first felt a burst of coolness, and in an instant, most of the stuffy air accumulated in Zheng Xuan's body for days was swept away, and then there was a burst of sweetness, which swept away the remaining heat in the body at once, and then there was a faint sour taste. Zheng Xuan only felt the bottom of his tongue, originally the scorching summer was the most appetizing, but this sour plum directly aroused his appetite.

Because of this heat stroke, he has not eaten seriously for four or five meals in a row, just some gruel and hastily, because he has no appetite at all, and even when he sees food, he will feel nauseous.

And at this moment, he really wanted to eat!

Before he chewed off the black plum in his mouth, Zheng Xuan couldn't help but poke the spoon into the porcelain bowl and eat it. Soon, one bowl of sour plum soup had been drunk, and Han Fei hurriedly brought another bowl over and said, "Teacher, slow down, there are a lot of them here." ”

"Good, good!" Zheng Xuan laughed and took it, listening to the voice full of anger, he couldn't tell that he was sick at all. Although he said this, the movements in his hands were not slow at all, spoonful after spoonful, and he seemed to have a good appetite.

Cui Yan on the side saw the teacher gobbling up like this, and heard the teacher's heart-wrenching laughter, his eyes almost popped out, could it be that this is a panacea? A moment ago, the teacher clearly still looked sick, how could he ...... in the blink of an eye

He couldn't help but be curious, so he hurriedly took another bowl, poured himself a little sour plum soup, and after a light taste, he was like Zheng Xuan, and couldn't stop anymore.

Cui Yan only felt that the pores all over his body were open, and in the scorching summer, he actually gave birth to a long-lost sense of refreshment, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the bamboo tube containing sour plum soup, but he secretly shook his head.

This is made by the junior brother for the teacher!

Until he finished eating all the sour plum soup in a bamboo tube, Zheng Xuan still looked unsatisfied, put down the spoon, and the refreshment of his body and mind made the old man laugh out loud, "This sour plum soup can be a drink for generations, and after drinking this sour plum soup, it will be half of the cure for this disease!" ”

"It's good if the teacher likes it. Unexpectedly, this sour plum soup really had such an effect, so the disciple ordered people to prepare more to resist this scorching atmosphere. Han Fei said with a smile.

"It's not hard to have this presence in the summer." Cui Yan also smiled.

He also liked the taste of the sour plum soup.

"Fang Caigong and Zihui have been here." The three of them talked and laughed a few times, and Zheng Xuan's voice changed, and he looked at Han Fei. Seeing that he was not surprised at all, he continued: "He Weishi talked about your algorithms and symbols, and also mentioned the non-number, thinking that from the teacher's point of view, its role is almost no less than Cai Hou's invention of paper back then, if your energy can be used to study." The achievements of the future are afraid that the past and the present will be shocked. ”

"This ......" Han Fei couldn't wipe his face a little.

Fu Zhu and Liu Hui were able to come to Zheng Xuan, Han Fei was not surprised at all. After all, Zheng Xuan represents the highest level of existence in the academic world, and if Fei Shu can be recognized by Zheng Xuan, it also means that he has been recognized by the world. Its role has undoubtedly been affirmed.

It's just that. Han Fei didn't expect to get such a high evaluation from the teacher.

My family knows about my own affairs, so what do I talk about in terms of my own two times? Well, the ability to plagiarize is shocking to the past and the present!

"The disciple only has an occasional gain, so he deserves such praise from the teacher, and he lies about the ancient and the present......" Han Fei was humble again and again.

"Hehe, don't be presumptuous. In fact, learning is like that, just like you once said. The article is made by nature, and the magic hand is even good. It's just that your identity is different, and as a teacher, you also know that it is impossible to let you devote yourself to study, so there is this sigh, hehe......" Zheng Xuan smiled, and there was a lot of meaning in the smile, which seemed to be a praise for Han Fei, and a pity for a talent like Han Fei who could not delve into learning.

"The world is still restless, how can we be at ease with learning? Learning can benefit the common people, but it can't save the present. Teacher, the disciple is not here, and the teacher is disappointed. Han Fei bowed and said.

"Back then, the protégés of Confucius were born in the world, and they also did their own business, each kept their own will, and there were thousands of people in the world, each with their own way, and they understood it for the teacher." Zheng Xuan nodded, "You fight for the common people, and you are very comforted by the teacher, but I don't know when this troubled world will be calmed down, and when will Li Min be able to get rid of the suffering." ”

"It should ...... It won't be far away. ”

Han Fei's eyes were blazing, and through the window, he looked at the location of Bingzhou.

……

Hanoi.

Yuan Shao's life is not very easy now.

After the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the coalition forces dispersed, and Yuan Shao held back his anger.

First of all, it was Sun Jian who got the jade seal of the country, but resolutely refused to give it away. If he can get the jade seal, and then there is Liu Yu's existence, then ......

There has always been such a legend: those who get the jade seal win the world!

Could it be that in this world, will Sun Wentai gain something?

Yuan Shao was unwilling, so he ordered Liu Biao to rob Sun Jian, and he wanted to take down the jade seal and kill Sun Jian. However, since two months, the war situation in the south has been in a state of stalemate, although Liu Biao has the upper hand with the advantage of troops, but there are not many months, it is impossible to take Sun Jian!

This made Yuan Shao have to sigh, Sun Jian is worthy of being the tiger of Jiangdong, far from being something that a scholar can fight against, if it weren't for Liu Biao's more than ten times the strength, I'm afraid ......

In the two, Liu Yu rejected his plan to propose to be the emperor again, which made Yuan Shao scold Liu Yu for being incompetent and cowardly, but also helpless.

As for the three......

Zhou Ang led the army to take refuge in Yuan Shao, and then, relying on the efforts of Liu Xun, the general Huya Lieutenant, the Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo, the Xiongnu prince who claimed to be Nandan Yu, also decided to take refuge in Yuan Shao, and now he is stationed in Zhangshui, with Zhou Ang, Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo's men and horses to take refuge, Yuan Shao's army, both in terms of quantity and quality, has been comprehensively improved, it stands to reason that Yuan Shao should be happy, but ......

Since last month, the amount of grain and grass allocated to him by Jizhou has been halved, not to mention, and it has always been delayed. The Jizhou general who escorted the grain and grass said: It has been raining heavily in Jizhou for several days, the roads are muddy and difficult to walk, and many bridges have been broken......

In short, there are countless excuses, and every time they change their tricks to explain the late grain and grass, so that Yuan Shao's stomach has no place to spread the anger, but he doesn't dare to really offend Jizhou.

After all, he still has to rely on Jizhou to feed his army, if he really forces Han Fu to turn his face and cut off his supply of grain and grass, then his army can really only starve to death. Moreover, Han Fu also sent two generals, Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan led 10,000 crossbowmen to be stationed in Heyang, in the name of helping him Yuan Shao to crusade against Dong Zhuo, in fact, Yuan Shao also understood that this was monitoring and obstructing him, and even if he wanted to lead the army back to the Bohai Sea, it became impossible!

If it was before, it would be fine, after all, there were not many troops. Even if the grain and grass were halved and he could not arrive for a long time, it would be enough for his army to consume. But now that he has collected three tribes of men and horses, this grain and grass seem to be stretched.

Now, Yuan Shao hates Sun Jian, and he hates Jizhou, especially Han Fei!

Yuan Shao knew Han Fu very well, and knew that Han Fu couldn't do such a thing, and he was in Jizhou. can really influence Han Fu's decision, and only this Han Fei is the only one, obviously. These methods are all in the hands of Han Fei.

Yuan Shao guessed that it was Han Fei's idea, the strategy discussed with Fu Zhu and others, and used the rainy summer as an excuse. Delay in the distribution of grain and grass. In order to trap Yuan Shao's army.

"My lord."

Xu You below arched his hand and said: "You have made people listen and know that although Jizhou also has occasional rainfall, it has not yet reached the point where the roads are muddy and difficult to walk, not to mention that the bridges have broken many times. ”

Yuan Shao had a gloomy face and closed his eyes slightly. There was no word for a long time.

Without Xu Yu's information, he had already expected it. Those are nothing more than Jizhou's pretexts, thinking about it, his conspiracy with Gongsun Zan has been noticed by Jizhou, if it weren't for this, Han Fu would never let people spy on him here. It's just that he knows Han Fu, and he also knows that the reason why he returned the food to his army was nothing more than to gain a foothold morally.

On the surface, he supported him Yuan Shao in his crusade against Dong Zhuo, but in fact, he was dragging him like this, unable to resist, and half-dead if he didn't resist.

"My lord, why don't you contact Gongsun and break this deadlock!" Guo Tu saw that Yuan Shao had not spoken for a long time, and after thinking about it, he spoke.

"I don't want to, it's just ......" Yuan Shao sighed, and finally opened his mouth, saying, "It's just that the time is often not ripe." Youzhou is uneven, and Gongsun Chan will never send troops. Although Liu Yu is weak, he is not something to ignore, how can he not know Gongsun Zhan's wolf ambitions? If Gongsun Chan really dared to bypass Liu Yu and attack Jizhou, he would have copied Liu Yu's hometown, and Gongsun Chan would never take this risk. ”

"What then? Could it be that we just watched him Jizhou ride on our heads, making a prestige? Guo Tu said indignantly.

"If not, what else?" Xu You said lightly: "The plan of the moment can only wait, when Gongsun Chan takes Youzhou, then it will be the time for the lord and I to raise their eyebrows!" The king of Yue can lie down and taste the courage, and in the end he will destroy Wu, what the lord has to do now is to follow the king of Yue. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, in your opinion, what about Han Fei'er?" Yuan Shao asked suddenly.

Han fei?

Everyone was stunned, why did they talk and talk about Han Fei's head again?

However, after thinking about it for a while, I understood, it was the military general who spoke first, and I saw that a general said first: "This son should have the courage of ten thousand people." Although it is said that there are many tricks in defeating Lu Bu that day, it is undeniable that his martial arts, and more importantly, he is only sixteen years old now, and his martial arts are on the rise. ”

"Yes, what General Gao said is very true." The rest of the generals also nodded their heads.

The general surnamed Gao, that is, Gao Lan, only heard him continue: "If you say that Han Fei's real martial arts, when he and the last general are between Bozhong, they are not as brave as General Yan and General Wen, but they are good at using wisdom and have many means, and their two forest formations, against Hua Xiong, although the last general has never watched the battle with his own eyes, but there is no doubt that his martial arts are not as good as Hua Xiong, and the strange ability of weapons can be maneuvered, and the reason why he can kill Hua Xiong is because of the surprise victory of the horse pistol; As for the defeat of Lu Bu, it is because of those secret weapons, as long as you beware of his secret weapons, with General Yan and General Wen here, this son should not be worried. ”

Yuan Shao nodded, he was still very convinced of Gao Ran.

"General Gao also said that he is not good at using wisdom," Guo Tu, who was quite uneasy with Gao Lan, retorted at this time: "His martial arts may not be a cause for concern, but his plan to burn Hangu Pass is still not a cause for concern?" ”

"You!" Gao Ran frowned and pointed at Guo Tu, but he couldn't say anything to refute it.

He's not a man of words.

"If the lord takes Jizhou, Han Fei is undoubtedly the biggest confidant, but as long as Han Fu is still in the position of Jizhou pastor for a day, the military power of Jizhou will not be handed over to Han Fei, yes, although Han Fei needs to pay attention, it is not enough to relate to the entire plan to take Jizhou, just a brave warrior supplemented by a resourceful person, when Jizhou can be cut off!" Guo Tu said proudly.

Yuan Shao nodded again and again, what kind of person Han Fu is, he couldn't be clearer.

"Lord, look at this." At this time, Xu You took out a folded piece of silk cloth from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

"What is this?" Yuan Shao Nahan.

Xu You's face was solemn, "The lord will know it at a glance." ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he unfolded the silk cloth with both hands, but then, his brows wrinkled, and he couldn't understand any of the things on it, so he immediately raised his head, "Ziyuan, what is this?" I can't understand any of the ghost-like things. ”

"Lord, this is the calculation method now used in Jizhou, and the grain and grass and some standing accounts in Jizhou are recorded with these symbols." Xu You said slowly.

"Oh?" Yuan Shao was stunned, and couldn't help but look at the symbols on the silk cloth a few more times, but the more he looked at it, the more he didn't understand, but he could see that it was mostly composed of ten symbols that he had never seen before.

"This is called 'non-number' in Jizhou, and some people call it 'Gongzi arithmetic', which was created by Han Fei." (To be continued......)
