Chapter 82: Kong Rong's Invitation (Second Update)

Many times trust is not obtained by words, more from action, Gongsun Yi's goodwill actions, soon spread, set up porridge sheds, rescue the people in an orderly manner, both sides of the cavalry guards left and right, those young people who cut in line are merciless, dragged out is a violent beating, and suddenly bursts of applause.

Only a small number of the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban prisoners of war left with their families, and they could not trust the capricious officers and soldiers, but most of them stayed, and Gongsun Yi immediately posted a post to buy cattle and seeds from the black market, and if the distribution was properly controlled, it would be in time for the season of rice planting and sowing.

The official documents handled every day are pushed like a mountain, and Gongsun Yi has already been one head and two big, and whenever he thinks of how good it would be if Guan Ning was by his side, he screamed a few times and continued to deal with government affairs.

Fortunately, Gongsun Yi used Arabic numerals to record the file registration, which was much faster, and Yu Ban carefully selected a few trustworthy and agile soldiers from the army to come, but he could barely cope with the resettlement of the huge Yellow Turban thieves and their families.

Gongsun Yi's army also moved from the original west of Weishui to Fengxian County, and Ning Er finally had the opportunity to come to Gongsun Yi's side again, serving tea and water every day, and taking care of Gongsun Yi's life in an orderly manner.

In addition to dealing with official duties, Gongsun Yi will chat with Ning'er for a long time, taste the mellow fragrant tea, the original impetuousness and fatigue can always fade away, only when Ning'er is together, Magnet can feel the comfort of staying away from the hustle and bustle.

It's just that in the face of Ning'er's sometimes staring eyes, I don't know how to deal with it for a while, and his mind Gongsun Yi naturally understands that marrying such a caring girl as Ning'er is a blessing that has been cultivated for eight lifetimes, but Ning'er is still young compared to modern people, and Gongsun Yi naturally doesn't dare to act rashly, and keeps his careful care in mind.

On this day, Gongsun Yi had just finished dealing with government affairs, retreated left and right, stretched his waist and prepared to go to the side courtyard to taste Ning'er to make fragrant tea, but soon a guard came to report to General Yu for a meeting, so Gongsun Yi had already said that it was too forbidden, Tai Shici and others could enter the palace directly without passing the message, but Yu Ban still reported every time he came.

"General Yu is here, please come in."

"My lord, please."

After the guest of honor sat down, Yu Ban hugged his fists and said: "My lord, Kong Rong heard that our army defeated the Yellow Turban Thieves, not only did he not thank our army for relieving the siege, but instead strengthened the vigilance and strengthened the city wall, mobilized the troops of the surrounding counties and counties, and took the posture of competing with our army. ”

"No matter how many troops Kong Rong gathers, he still can't stop my cavalry army, I don't care how many soldiers there are in Beihai City, what I care more about is whether those merchants and scholars in Qingzhou are willing to cooperate with our army?"

Gongsun Yi's tone was flat, he didn't care about Kong Rong, Gongsun Yi didn't want to occupy Beihai Kingdom, but the concept of occupying Qingzhou would not change, as long as the well water of the two sides did not interfere with the river water, they could also be safe, not to mention that after the integration of the Yellow Turban Thieves, the Xiao Cavalry Army was more powerful.

Gongsun Yi ordered Yu Ban to select 5,000 strong from them to be organized into a battalion of Xiao Cavalry Guard Battalion, which was usually incorporated into the military tun, and he did not relax during training, which not only strengthened the scale of the Xiao Cavalry Army, but also made the people understand that Gongsun Yi was not guilty of the Yellow Turban thieves in the past, and the relationship between the military and the people was more harmonious for a while.

"My lord, there are businessmen who provide food and grass for our army, and they were ordered to be killed by Kong Rong, and they announced to the public that they died at the hands of thieves, but their corpses were slashed and killed more than ten times, if it were ordinary robbers, they would never have such a deep hatred, and they were obviously done for us to see."

"Good Kong Rong, I hope he will be wise and not come to provoke me, otherwise his Beihai Kingdom will be burned with jade!" Gongsun Yi sighed slightly, and turned to look at Yu Bandao: "In this case, I will immediately repair a book, and you let people go to Yanzhou to buy cattle and seeds from Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, presumably this busy Brother Cao will definitely help." ”

Yanzhou is too rich compared to Qingzhou, the people are rich, the commerce and trade are developed, and Gongsun Yi has no shortage of gold and silver, presumably for the sake of Yanzhou's Mu Cao Cao's face, he can get a lot of grain and cattle, but he can barely feed these more than 100,000 people.

Although spending money is like flowing water now, as long as it survives this year and waits for a bumper grain harvest, it can be self-sufficient, and there will be more displaced people returning to Qingzhou, and the vitality that has been lost can be slowly recovered.

"Yes, my lord, Kong Rong has already lurked a large number of scouts over there, if there is any trouble, we can know it as soon as possible, but at present, it is not suitable for the Xiao cavalry army to join all the military camps, even if they train every day, the results achieved are not satisfactory." Yu Ban's face was full of confidence, but he quickly changed his words, and seemed to be worried about the current situation of the Xiao Cavalry.

"It's okay to say it." Gongsun Yi was sitting in danger and listening.

"My lord, there are many thieves in Qingzhou, more than ten people in the small area, and hundreds of people in the most, although they are not as powerful as the Yellow Turban thieves, but they occupy the mountains as a disaster, and the last general thinks that it is better to lead the army to sweep away these thieves, so there are four benefits!"

"I want to hear about it." Since Yu Ban spoke, he must have been confident, Gongsun hurriedly asked.

"One is to use war to feed the war and reduce the supply pressure of the army; Second, it is beneficial to train the new army with actual combat training soldiers; Sanli's army can gather the surrounding people and merchants who are willing to come, and strengthen the scale of the military cantonment, these merchants and the scholars who have not gone to the Beihai country have some grain stocks, and we can benefit from it; Sili can deter Qingzhou and establish the prestige of our army! Yu Ban confidently talked about it.

Yu Ban groaned slightly, seeing that Gongsun Yi was listening quietly, he continued: "Even if Kong Rong is the minister of Beihai and is the current person in power in Qingzhou, but as our army sweeps through the surrounding bandits, presumably the prestige of the lord will be famous, and soon Qingzhou only knows the lord, but does not know Kong Beihai, and the people are deeply immersed in the kindness of the lord, even the people of Beihai will abandon their homes to vote." ”

"Wonderful, Wen Ze, this matter is left to you to be fully responsible, with the right to arbitrary, no scruples, no need to report, just let go of your hands and feet."

Gongsun Yi was overjoyed in his heart, Yu Ban's conspiracy seemed tepid, but to a large extent, it could alleviate the immediate predicament, maximize the power of the cavalry army, and effectively gather the hearts of the people in Qingzhou, and could disintegrate Kong Rong's dominance.

Yu Ban also breathed a sigh of relief, this is the first strategy since following Gongsun Yi, for fear that Gongsun Yi will not allow it, but fortunately, Gongsun Yi not only agreed, but also gave arbitrary authority, which made Yu Ban's heart excited for a while, and secretly glad that he followed the master.

Just as Yu Ban was about to get up and say goodbye, suddenly the guard entered and said, "My lord, general, there is Jia Zhong, the envoy of the North Sea Xiangkongrong, asking to see you outside. ”

Gongsun Yi was puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know what Kong Rong's intention was in sending someone to invite him at this time, but he still said casually: "Please let him in." ”

"Since there is a messenger visiting, the last general will retire first." Yu Ban was just about to get up, but was stopped by Gongsun Yi, who got up first, only to hear Gongsun Yi chuckle and say, "Why should Wen Ze retreat, just listen with me." ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Yu Ban hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, grateful for Gongsun Yi's trust.

Jia Zhong walked into the living room, seeing that the hall was not only small, but also simple and elegant, compared with the living room of Master Kong, it was too bad, Jia Zhong looked down on Gongsun Yi's coldness, but after thinking about it, maybe Gongsun Yi deliberately met him in such a remote hall, and he was angry for a while.

However, today he came by order, not to mention that Gongsun Yi is not easily offended by holding heavy troops, Jia Zhong can only put on a smiling face and hug his fists and say: "Xiaguan is ordered by Lord Xiangkong of Beihai to invite Lord Gongsun to go to Beihai Country for a banquet." ”

"Oh, why is Master Kong so gracious?" Gongsun Yi asked with an interested chuckle.

Jia Zhong bowed deeply and said: "Lord Gongsun must have misunderstood my family Lord Kong, I was afraid that Lord Gongsun and the Yellow Turban Thieves had the same purpose of attacking Beihai Kingdom, Lord Kong was worried and could only cut off the food supply, and now that I know the ambition of Lord Gongsun, I am ashamed to order the officials to invite Lord Gongsun to Beihai Country for a while." ”

"It's so good, the general has been friends with writers like Master Kong for a long time, and I just want to see a glass of wine to release the gap, but our army lacks food and grass, and we need your Lord Kong to help from it, otherwise my army will starve to death." Gongsun Yi said with a smile, and he admired Kong Rong a lot between his words.

"Don't worry, Lord Gongsun, my family has invited all the scholars and merchants who live in Beihai Kingdom to the banquet together, and I believe that Lord Gongsun will definitely make this trip worthwhile."

"It's so good, you've worked hard all the way, let's stay in Fengxian first, don't think that the general is not hospitable." Gongsun said loudly: "Come on, take Master Jia down to rest." ”

Jia Zhong hurriedly said: "Lord Gongsun is serious, retire." ”

Jia Zhong had just left, and Gongsun Yi's expression changed and he said coldly: "What a Hongmen banquet!" ”

Yu Ban got up and hugged his fists and said: "Kong Rong is too deceitful, it is better for us to strike first, the lord will take the first step, and the last general will lead the army to follow behind, and when the city gate is opened, it will be attacked in one fell swoop, and then the time will be to promote Kong Rong's wolf ambition!" ”

"No, Kong Rong is the minister of Beihai appointed by the imperial court, if he is detained privately, it will just give other princes an excuse to save Kong Rong from attacking Qingzhou, and it will make the occupation of Qingzhou in the future seem unjustifiable, if so, it will not hurt to go to this Hongmen banquet." Gongsun Yi muttered to himself, as if he was asking Yu Ban.

"The lord must not, Kong Rong's wolf ambition is clearly revealed, if the lord goes to the banquet, he will inevitably commit murder, how can the lord enter the tiger's mouth!" Hearing that Gongsun Yi was planning to go to Beihai Kingdom for a banquet, Yu Jian stood up and hurriedly clenched his fists and persuaded him.

"Wen Ze doesn't have to worry, my grandson Yi is not a sheep, he Kong Rong is not a tiger, the scholars of Beihai Country are not stupid, they will never let me die, otherwise Beihai Country will inevitably be burned, Wen Ze can send soldiers and horses to Chen Bing outside Beihai Kingdom, you can protect me without worry."

Gongsun Yi was not worried about Kong Rong's murder, in fact, Gongsun Yi was still expecting Kong Rong to show his intention to harm him, and he might be able to take this opportunity to take Beihai Kingdom in one fell swoop and truly occupy the rich land of Qingzhou.

Seeing that Yu Ban still had to persuade again, Gongsun Yi smiled bitterly: "I will invite General Taishi to go with me, even if he wants to kill me, I am afraid that his head will land first, I have made up my mind, and Wen Ze does not need to persuade me again." ”

Seeing that Gongsun Yi had already decided, not to mention that Tai Shici, who was brave and champion of the three armies, followed, Yu Ban no longer persuaded him, and took the order to retreat.
