Chapter 21 Chaisang Taishou

"How can it be!" In Jiangxia City, Jingzhou Mu Guan Yu, who had just taken office, was holding an article in his hand, and his hands that grabbed it were already bursting with green muscles. This is exactly what Wang Cang wrote to Liu Bei, asking him to kill Zhao Feng to comfort the hundreds of thousands of undead in Jingxiang, and recently this article has been widely circulated in Jingyang Erzhou, and many scholars have echoed it.

"These guys, following Cai Mao to make more and more trouble, if they don't kill them, it's already a blessing, and they dare to jump out and point fingers?" Guan Yu said angrily. Although this article is going to kill Zhao Feng, as the supreme military commander of this battle, this article undoubtedly slapped him Guan Yu in the face.

"The prince is angry, this Wang Zhongxuan is a great Confucian in the world, famous all over the world, and he can't be easily moved." Zhuge Liang saw that the murderous intent in Guan Yu's eyes was revealed, and hurriedly admonished. "Kong Ming, why does this Wang Zhongxuan want to oppose us?" Guan Yu was puzzled.

Although Liang didn't know what was going on, he could guess a little. This Wang Zhongxuan and Cao Ying have a good relationship, and many of his relatives and friends died in the Jingxiang War before. Now that the throne of the prince is high and powerful, he retreats and asks for General Zhao. Zhuge Liang sighed. Now that he is such a leader, coupled with the effect of the local complex, almost the entire Jingzhou scholars now regard Zhao Feng as an enemy. In addition, he is very famous, and even many scholars in Yangzhou follow suit, that is, people in Xuzhou and Yuzhou do not buy his account.

"That's it, Bo Tao is now Shouchun, this matter should be handed over to the eldest brother!" Guan Yu was also quite helpless. Zhuge Liang was silent when he heard this, and just now, his family told him that his younger brother Zhuge Jun also signed a joint letter with several more famous scholars in Jingzhou, asking Liu Bei to severely punish Zhao Feng.

It's menacing! This is the only feeling that Zhao Feng, who is in Shouchun, has now. The crusade against him here is not so loud, but he can still know some of the situation, and now Zhao Feng finally experienced the taste of being beaten. Fortunately, there was still someone willing to help him speak, and just a few days ago, although they were busy, Zhang Zhao and Sun Qian still wrote articles to defend him. Although the reputation of these two brothers is not as loud as Wang Cang's and other Jian'an seven sons, they are also famous Confucians in the world, among which Sun Qian is still a disciple of Zheng Xuan, and his influence should not be underestimated. At present, in response to the flooded battle of Gangneung a month ago, literati from all walks of life are fighting happily.

A few days later, Liu Bei announced that Zhao Feng, the former Lujiang Taishou and Fenwei general, was demoted to Chaisang Taishou and concurrently served as General Yingyang, and immediately went to Chaisang to take office. At the same time, Jingzhou Mu Guan Yu and Jingzhou Diannong engaged in Zhuge Liang, as well as Yangwei General Liu Pan and others were also fined for half a year each to set an example.

"Bo Tao, now that it's menacing outside, you better go to Chaisang to avoid the limelight first." This is what Liu Bei said to Zhao Feng personally after the edict was issued. Looking at the somewhat apologetic old Liu in front of him, Zhao Feng said silently for a long time: "Thank you, my lord, it's just that even if my lord demotes me to my military position, I'm afraid that those people in Jingxiang will still not be at peace." Zhao Feng knew that Wang Zhongxuan was the head of the seven sons of Jian'an, this kind of person has always been very bold in speaking, but his reputation is very great, and those in power often have nothing to do with them. For example, Kong Rong, even under Cao Ying's rule, has been arrogant for so many years. Now this Wang Cang's public opinion offensive, coupled with Jing Xiang's undecidedness, has made himself and Liu Bei very passive.

"Bo Tao is too worried, even if they dare to rap again, how can I let it go?" Liu Bei said with a hint of anger. Looking at Zhao Feng, Liu Bei sighed again: "I prepared to play Yangzhou Mu for Bo Tao twice, but they were all rejected. Now Bo Tao is not rewarded for his merits, but he is going to be degraded, and it is really difficult to be at ease. ”

"Why should the lord be worried, the ruler is long, the inch is short, and the peak knows that he may not be able to do Yangzhou pastoral. At present, Yuan Cao is fighting in the Central Plains, but our army wants to rectify Jingxiang, but it is difficult to fight again for a while. Feng should go to Chaisang to train his troops. Zhao Feng, in turn, wanted to comfort Liu Bei, this felt really awkward.

"It's okay, Chaisang is in the west of the Xiangjiang River, and Bo Tao can also help the second brother and Kong Ming in Jingzhou." Liu Bei thought for a while. After a pause, Liu Bei said again: "Bo Tao has been fighting outside all the year round, and he rarely gets together with his family. ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhao Feng thanked. He also understood that this was Liu Bei who wanted to compensate him a little. It's okay in this way, he and Diao Chan have been separated from each other all year round, and they can finally have the opportunity to get together again.

Chaisang is adjacent to Poyang Lake, which was originally the place where Sun Ce trained his troops, and the position of Chaisang Taishou was also specially set up for military training, which was naturally worse than the feudal officials who guarded one side like Lujiang Taishou. Just in terms of official rank, Lujiang Taishou is 2,000 stones, but Chaisang Taishou is only 1,000 stones, and Wancheng Taishou is the same surname. After Liu Bei took over Jiangdong, he also saved trouble, so he set this place as his own training place.

The predecessor of Chai Sang Taishou was Chen Dao, and now that Zhao Feng has taken over, Chen Zhi will return to Shouchun to take office. Zhao Feng didn't have much to do, which was to train recruits. After saying goodbye to Liu Bei at the moment, Zhao Feng and Diao Chan simply packed up, first went from Shouchun to their own home in Wancheng, and then from there to Chaisang.

"Husband, you were demoted this time, don't you worry?" On the way to leave Shouchun and go to Anhui City, Diao Chan asked with some concern.

"Nothing serious!" Zhao Feng took her hand and comforted. Since there were only two people and a few servants, Zhao Fengsuo and Diao Chan took a carriage to Wancheng first.

"Your husband and my family have a big business, even if you don't become an official, are you afraid that I won't be able to make money?" Seeing that Diao Chan was still a little worried, Zhao Feng smiled and comforted her. However, Zhao Feng also knows that the current Liu Bei is no longer the old Liu who can be commensurate with his brothers in Pingyuan County, and even in Xuzhou, drinking and eating meat without scruples. In the past, he would never take a few articles of Wang Cang and these people in his eyes, let alone demote himself for this reason. But now in his heart, soothing people's hearts is more important than brotherly love. What's more, I haven't bowed to him yet.

Shouchun is not far from Anhui City, Zhao Feng and Diao Chan came to their home, Zhen Jiang and Zhen Mi have been waiting for a long time. "Brother-in-law, you are so miserable! People are getting bigger and bigger, why are you getting smaller and smaller? Zhen Mi said with a sad face.

"Time is also fate!" Zhao Feng replied like a stick, habitually wanting to reach out and pat Zhen Mi's head, but he didn't want the little Lori to grow into a big girl now, and it was really not easy to shoot this time, so he had to stop it curtly. In order to hide his embarrassment, Zhao Feng also coughed dryly and said to Zhen Jiang, who pursed his lips and snickered: "Madam, let's pack up as soon as possible and go to Chaisang as soon as possible, we will celebrate the New Year in Chaisang this year." ”

"It's good!" Zhen Jiang stopped smiling and replied. A few days ago, Zhao Feng had already sent someone to inform her that the house had almost been cleaned up, and she would be able to go to Chaisang for a day or two at most. During the period, the current Lujiang Taishou Bu Bu Zishan also came to visit him once, this old man just married his sister to Liu Bei, and he was promoted to Lujiang Taishou, which can be regarded as a spring breeze.

Bu Fei's younger sister, that is, the historical Empress of Eastern Wu Foot Trainer, is Sun Quan's favorite concubine. can make Sun Quan, a big pervert, the most favored, enough to see his charm. But now that Sun Quan lives in Jiaozhou, he has to cheapen Liu Bei. Of course, Zhao Feng also knows that this is also Liu Bei's typical political marriage in order to settle the hearts of Jiangdong's former ministers.

At present, the two groups under Liu Bei have gradually become clear, that is, the Xuzhou group that followed him earlier, and the Jiangdong group that defected later. Fortunately, these two groups of people are not too narrow-minded, although the old ministers of Jiangdong are a little xenophobic, but a large part of them such as Zhang Zhao and Bu Fei were born in the Jianghuai region, and they still have a certain sense of belonging to Xuzhou. Although the rest of them, such as Gu Yong, the former Jiangdong Wuhui Group scholars, are xenophobic, but under Liu Bei's grace and power, and Liu Bei has indeed given them a lot of benefits, so they are relatively stable now. Although there was occasional friction between the two factions, they were generally peaceful. Now that Jing Xiang has belonged to Liu Bei, I am afraid that it will not be long before a third faction will appear. As for Zhao Feng himself, it was a thorough Xuzhou faction.

To be honest, Zhao Feng is not too worried about these factions, didn't the great man just say that there are no gangs, no factions, and there are all kinds of strangeness. With Liu Bei's employment methods, these factions should not be too introverted. Bu Fei is not a fool, he knows that although Zhao Feng has been demoted, this level of demotion can only be said to symbolically let him leave the cusp, and he will make a comeback in the future. Now while he is more unlucky, there is no harm in pulling the relationship.

There is more than one smart person, who sent away the polite Bu Fei, Juchao County Magistrate Zhou Shan, Jurong County Magistrate Lu Xun and others also came to visit, coaxing Zhao Feng to put on and take off the formal clothes, take off and put them on, and they were actually guests who had seen for a day. In the end, Zhao Feng was also a little impatient, so Suo took the two ladies and Zhen Mi to take a boat to Chaisang overnight, leaving the housekeeper to take care of the housework.

"Well, I've wanted to come to Jiangnan to play for a long time, but now it's finally my wish." Although Zhen Mi is eighteen years old, her surname is still very lively, and she doesn't even have a moment of peace when she sits on the boat.

"The little girl is still like a child!" Zhao Feng didn't know if he was talking to himself, or to Zhen Jiang beside him. Zhen Jiang glanced at Zhao Feng, although Zhen Mi swore not to marry within three years, but Zhen Jiang, as her sister, didn't know what she was thinking in her heart? It's a pity that the person concerned is like in a dream, which is really angry and funny.

Chaisang was once the seat of Yuzhang, and later changed to Nanchang. Since Sun Ce's time, it has been used as a place for military training, and the first Chaisang Taishou is Zhou Yu, the chief henchman under Sun Ce. Time has passed, and the heroic generation of Confucian generals Zhou Gongjin has turned into dust.

"Chaisang was slaughtered by Cai Mao during the war before, and he hasn't recovered yet!" Zhao Feng looked at the street that was not too bustling and sighed. At this time, it was November, and it was only a month before the New Year, and by the time Zhao Feng had settled his new home in Chaisang, it was already in the middle of the month. During this period, apart from training, he didn't have much to do. Most of the civil affairs in the city of Chaisang were handed over by Zhao Feng to Chaisang Zhizhong, who came with him to take office, and Lu Xun's brother Lu Yi took care of it, and only major matters were decided by him.

Time flies, and it comes to the twentieth day of the lunar month. "Master, this is some local products sent by Lord Liu from Xiangtan just now." The housekeeper reported to Zhao Fengyu and brought in two large baskets at the same time.

"Oh?" Zhao Feng thought about it before remembering who this Lord Liu was, it turned out to be Liu Biao who was idle at home. Xiangtan and Chaisang are only separated by a Ganjiang River, and Liu Jingsheng is too polite.

When I opened it, it was nothing more than some local products in southern Hunan such as bacon, Zhao Feng was about to order the servants to clean up first, but he heard a hearty voice outside: "Zhao boy, I see that you are here!" ”
