Chapter 9: Tian Feng
Aroused by the mysterious discussion of everyone in the hall, Chen Nuo slowly put down the wine cup. Hehe, he wants to see who the person is who is coming, and he can make everyone hope for him, and he wants to see his jokes!
He shot his eyes away and locked on the visitor.
The person who came was tall, wearing a loose Confucian dress, and walked all the way from outside the door to the hall, like a tiger pounced out, with his clothes in the wind, his chest and head up, and his eyes did not squint. The whole person gives people a feeling of arrogance and arrogance, and does not take other bureaucrats in their eyes.
When the bureaucrats saw him, although some of them were of a higher rank than him, they were still invisibly subdued by this popular place. In order to show respect, some put down the wine cup in their hands, stepped forward and moved the table, with a smile on the corner of their mouths, and they were extremely flattering.
When this person took two steps and made three steps to Han Fu, Chen Nuo looked at him from the side, and saw that this person raised his eyebrows like a sword, his eyes were like electricity, his beard was like a knife, and the facial features on his face were combined, and there was an aura of authority without anger, which made people dare not force his eyes.
Chen Nuo was still guessing who this person would be, and Han Fu over there was already uneasy when he saw this person. His originally crooked posture was unconsciously corrected at the moment. When the man arrived, he bowed slightly, beat his spirits, and smiled: "Sir......"
"Tian Feng has seen Lord Envoy!"
No matter how arrogant he was, he had to bow his head and bow to Han Fu in front of Han Fu.
Han Fu nodded and immediately said, "Mr. is here, please take a seat." ”
Han Fu waved his hand and pointed to the second seat reserved for him in his left hand. The man was not polite, thanked him, and went straight to the table and sat down.
waited until the man sat down, but Chen Nuo's eyes never left him.
The man also seemed to feel Chen Nuo's persevering gaze, and after sitting down, he adjusted his robe and adjusted his sitting posture, and suddenly his eyes turned and met Chen Nuo's eyes unreservedly.
The corners of Chen Nuo's mouth curled, and he smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "Look at this old man's fierce appearance, his temper should not be small, hehe, his name is Tian Feng, that's right." ”
He didn't deliberately avoid Tian Feng's gaze, he looked at each other calmly for a moment, grabbed the wine cup, and got up from the table.
He walked up to Tian Feng and bowed down to toast him: "Lord Tian's prestige and despicable people are like thunder, and it is worth the trip to see him in person today!" It just so happened that I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and I saluted Lord Tian with a cup, and I also asked Lord Tian to appreciate this thin noodle of contemptible. ”
Han Fu knew that if he wanted to eat comfortably at today's banquet, he had to serve this Uncle Tian well, and if he was angry, he wouldn't want to drink this wine happily. Seeing that Chen Nuo took the initiative to show favor to Tian Feng, he also did favors along the water, ordered someone to pour wine for Tian Feng, and persuaded Tian Feng to accept it.
"Slow down!"
Tian Feng didn't look at it, flicked his sleeves, and the full wine was pushed aside, and suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Nuo: "Let me ask you first, who are you and what position do you live in now?" ”
Chen Nuo smiled: "It's rude! Contemptible Chen Nuo, the cursive word, is the governor of Zhao Fu Zhao General sent to the state to deliver a letter, the last time you came, you may not have been there, so I failed to meet, please forgive me! ”
Tian Feng sighed, nodded and said, "Little post envoy, just now, it's okay not to know some things." Forgive your innocence, and you can retreat. ”
Tian Feng said, closed his eyes, and no one paid attention to it.
Chen Nuo came to toast, and now he is embarrassed to refuse the locality, which makes those good deeds watch a good show. There are snickers, and there are schadenfreude.
Chen Nuo just pretended not to hear it, but still held up the wine cup and said with a smile: "Lord Tian Feng is high-spirited, so naturally he doesn't want to drink with a little official like me, and the contemptible person has to punish himself with a glass!" ”
Chen Nuo drank it all, returned the wine cup to the wooden table, and immediately asked Han Fu for his resignation.
Seeing Chen Nuo turn around, Tian Feng stopped him, grabbed the wine cup next to him, and said: "I, Tian Feng, am not a powerful person, I drank this wine, so that you can know that I don't drink with you because I look down on you." ”
Without a word, he took a sip of the water and wine in the cup.
Chen Nuo didn't know the meaning of Tian Feng's drinking, but the staff on both sides, including Han Fu, were stunned. They know that he Tian Feng has never drunk a drop of wine, and today he actually moved wine for a small post office, which shows that it has given him enough face.
When Tian Feng put down the wine cup, Han Fu laughed and said: "Mr. Tian Toyota, who has never drunk a drop of alcohol, will make an exception today because of Chen Duyou's words, Chen Duyou can be the first person." It seems that Lone's previous worries were superfluous, or Chen Duyou's face was big. ”
"Poof!"
A water arrow shot out of Tian Feng's mouth, and Tian Feng spit out half of the wine that had been drunk into his mouth. His eyes widened, looking at Chen Nuo, and then at Han Fu: "Superintendent?" ”
Han Fu nodded and smiled: "Yes, he is now the superintendent of a county." Lone asked his subordinates to be in charge of post affairs, and he was also in charge of supervising the deployment of the county, and was directly responsible for Lone. Of course, today's banquet is for him, so it seems a little inappropriate for Mr. to let him step down just now, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, the staff on both sides immediately exploded and there were many discussions.
Previously, they only knew that Han Fu had promoted this person to be the post supervisor, and had not yet announced the scope of his duties, so they dared to contradict him.
But according to what Han Fu said now, he can not only manage the chariots and horses and post affairs in the county, but also have the right to supervise the officials in the county, and is directly responsible to the envoy, and suddenly became the eyes and ears of the envoy. In this way, his hands and eyes will cover half the sky. And they, the officials who often walk in the county, are most afraid of such inspectors and the like, so they should be careful from now on.
Thinking of this, the officials who swore to oppose it just now were a little remorseful, so most of them chose to remain silent at this juncture.
"I see!"
Tian Feng's old face changed and changed, he glanced at Chen Nuo again, and said coldly: "The so-called no merit is not rewarded, I don't know what kind of great merit this post envoy has, and he has actually risen all the way to the post governor of a county?" ”
At this time, the secrets between Chen Nuo and Han Fu before no longer need to be kept. Han Fu then told Chen Nuo's plan to envoy Gongsun Zhan, as well as Gongsun Zhan's promise to withdraw from the army:
"Gongsun Zan retreats, Yuan Shao is not worried, who am I afraid of Jizhou? Chen Duyou has made a lot of credit for doing this today, why can't he be promoted all the way? ”
Gongsun Zhan's withdrawal from the army, this matter is of great significance, but there are still many people who doubt it and can't believe it.
Tian Feng stroked his beard and glanced at Chen Nuo again, the young man in front of him was not simple.
He forced his eyes at Han Fu: "Gongsun Zhan, this hungry tiger pounced on my Jizhou, if he doesn't get the slightest benefit, how can he be willing to withdraw from the army?" ”
When Han Fu heard this, he had no choice but to say: "Gu has promised Gongsun Zan to exchange ten cities such as Nangong, Jingxian, Yang, Renxian, Pingxiang, and Julu for the peace of Guji Prefecture. ”
As soon as these words came out, the staff were all dumbfounded and speechless.
You must know that with Han Fu's words, the ten cities in Jizhou will also change hands.
Tian Feng's face changed greatly, he stood up suddenly, pointed at the officials on both sides, and scolded: "You usually eat the country's fortune, can you stand up at a critical time?" No wonder my dignified Jizhou will be invaded by Gongsun Zhan's gangsters, it turns out that the people of Jizhou are all dead, and they will actually let a small post make this limelight! ”
He scolded all the time, trembled and trembled, and was extremely unconvinced, all of them were smoking from his nostrils, gritting his teeth and glaring at him.
After Tian Feng finished scolding here, he glared at Han Fu again and questioned him: "It's really disappointing that the envoy gave away the land to people casually today, and treated state affairs like child's play!" Besides, how can land be given away casually? Even if in the pre-Qin period, in order to protect themselves, the countries had to cede the land to the Qin state, what result did they get? In the end, not all of them died in Qin! Doesn't the envoy know this? How can you still do such a foolish thing! ”
"Presumptuous!"
Tian Feng was too faceless, Han Fu was so angry that he almost jumped up, and pointed at Tian Feng's nose for a long time.
Although Chen Nuo knew that Tian Fengniu's nose was not easy to mess with, today's matter was caused by him, and he could only settle it.
Chen Nuo immediately stepped forward and said, "I don't agree with Lord Tian's words!" The so-called one time, that time. Since it comes to the matter of Qin and the world, then I have the courage to ask Lord Tian, what was the relationship between Qin and Zhao Wei and others back then? ”
Tian Feng thought he had heard it wrong, and snorted: "Knowingly ask!" In the pre-Qin period, the princes stood side by side, annexed land with each other, and each called himself a king, of course, it was a relationship between countries! ”
"Good!"
Chen Nuo smiled: "Let me ask again, what about now?" Just like the relationship between the envoy and Gongsun Zhan, what is their relationship? ”
Tian Feng's nose was stunned: "Now the traitor is in charge, and the villain is in chaos, so that Jun is the official appointment of the Son of Heaven as the governor of Jizhou, and Gongsun Zan is just an outsider, who wants to covet my Jizhou, like a thief." If the envoy is a gentleman, and Gongsun Chan is a roadside bandit, what can they do? ”
Chen Nuo nodded and said, "Then the lord admits that the relationship between Gongsun Chan and the envoy is not between the pre-Qin kingdoms?" ”
Tian Feng really didn't know what Chen Nuo wanted to say, he glared at Chen Nuo and said: "There is only one Son of Heaven in the world today, and there are no two days in the sky, how can the relationship between the monarch and Gongsun Chan be compared with the relationship between the countries in the pre-Qin period?" ”
"Good!"
Chen Nuo high-fived and smiled: "Lord Tian said it well! So can I understand it this way, in the pre-Qin period, the Qin state was dominant, and in order to protect themselves, the countries ceded land one after another in order to seek peace, which is indeed a humiliating thing for the country.
However, the relationship between Gongsun Chan and the envoy is not a country, so the gift of land between them is not a matter within a family in the end? The land is not a target, but it is still the Son of Heaven. In that case, why are you so angry, Lord Tian? ”
Tian Feng was stunned, flicked his sleeves, and knew that he had fallen for Chen Nuo.
I only heard Chen Nuo continue, "Besides, Yuan Shaodong is here, Gongsun Chan is going south, and today I am in Jizhou, and the catastrophe is imminent." Like the two of him, one is in the prestige of the fourth world and the third duke, and the other holds heavy soldiers, although I have countless soldiers and grains in Jizhou, but it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists.
First, Yuan Shao suddenly stopped the allies, and the lone army came from the west, but the purpose was to get Jizhou. But he knew that it was difficult to be alone, so he sent a messenger to invite Gongsun Chan and let Gongsun Chan be the villain, while he played the role of a good man, wanting to use Gongsun Chan to force the monarch to submit. Wait until you get Jizhou, and then drive away Gongsun Zhan.
And Gongsun Zhan is not a small person, and he has always wanted to meddle in Jizhou, just under the pretext that Yuan Shao came with troops. Their two armies attacked at the same time, and no matter how strong I was in Jizhou, I had to be afraid. ”
Chen Nuo's analysis was the head, and the officials were dumbfounded when they heard it, and even Tian Feng didn't stop him.
Chen Nuo also talked eloquently: "Seeing that their two armies are gradually approaching my Jizhou city, of course we can't sit idly by, the only way is to divide and attack, and break each one." So, I proposed to the envoy that the decision to find a breakthrough from Gongsun Zhan, as long as Gongsun Chan was persuaded to withdraw from the army, then Yuan Shao would not have to worry.
Of course, if you want to convince Gongsun Zhan, you must first keep it a secret, and if Yuan Shao's spies don't know, you naturally can't make a big fuss. Second, since Gongsun Chan is here for Jizhou, if he can't get a little sweetness, he will definitely not give up. For this reason, I had to make this decision, and implored the envoy to cede ten cities, including Nangong, Jingxian, Yang, Renxian, Pingxiang, and Julu, in exchange for Gongsun Zhan's retreat.
Of course, this matter is very important, I didn't let the envoy convene everyone here to discuss this matter, so I acted hastily, no wonder Lord Tian and the others were so angry, it was a lack of consideration. I also know that I am not worthy of the king's reward, and I dare not take on the important task of supervising the post, and I hope that the king will take back his life! ”
Han Fu was stunned for a moment, why did he suddenly resign from the official position that he had just said?
Before he could speak, the officials sitting on both sides avoided the table one after another and pleaded guilty to Han Fu: "Jizhou is in danger, and we can't share the burden for the king, but doubt the meritorious people, we are not!" ”
The rest of the people were counting their own guilt, so Tian Feng sneered, looked at Chen Nuo, and said, "Where is this asking for guilt, it's obviously asking for credit!" ”
Tian Feng was about to walk away as he spoke, but Chen Nuo grabbed his sleeve and couldn't move.
Tian Feng glared at him, snorted coldly, and asked him sharply: "What, do you also want me to congratulate you?" ”
Chen Nuo hurriedly said: "Lord Tian misunderstood, since I said that I don't want this post, naturally I don't want it, you wait a minute." ”
After speaking, Xiang Han Fu insisted on removing the post of post supervisor, and repeatedly told Han Fu that since the city promised to Gongsun Zhan must be fulfilled, not because of a small loss. Han Fu saw that Chen Nuo insisted on not being an official, so he had no choice but to promise him gold and silver, and at the same time agreed to Chen Nuo's request.
Chen Nuo thought about it, and then thought of what Zhang He had entrusted him.
Zhang He was worried that Han Fu would not listen to General Zhao Fu's words, and that Han Fu would really be subjugated by Yuan Shao, so he sacrificed Jizhou. Therefore, before leaving, he repeatedly explained that no matter what happened, after Chen Nuo went back, he must persuade Zhao Fu to send troops to deter Yuan Shao and strengthen Han Fu's heart.
Now it seems that there is no need to be so troublesome, but you can directly tell Han Fu this request.
Chen Nuo thought of the wording, and said: "Although Gongsun Chan has withdrawn from the army, Yuan Shao's heart of coveting Jizhou will not die, so why don't you let General Zhao Fu raise his army to the east, in this case, Yuan Shao must be afraid, and naturally he will not dare to move." ”
Han Fu heard that Chen Nuo was reasonable, and no one below objected, so he agreed.
Now that he has explained it, Chen Nuo still wants to have a relationship with Tian Feng, and when he turned around, Tian Feng was gone. The official next to him reminded him that when he was talking to Han Fu, Tian Feng had already retreated.
Chen Nuo thought that Tian Feng was waiting for him outside, but he couldn't see anyone outside the door for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel unhappy, but looking back, this is Tian Feng's personality.
Chen Nuo smiled and was about to walk away, when suddenly there was a slight noise in the bushes behind him, and he turned to look, but he didn't see anything, thinking it was an illusion, so he ignored it. But when he turned around, he was lightly hit on the back by an object, and although it was not pain, it was clearly felt.
"Who?"
Chen Nuo turned around abruptly and found a bright red ripe peanut dripping from the ground.
He was wondering when he saw the bushes swaying, and a smug snicker came from them.
Chen Nuo stared at it, although the person in the bush did not come out, the corner of his clothes was exposed, and a leisurely aroma of wine also came from it.
Who is this guy and why is he playing this joke with me?
As he hesitated, the bushes swayed open, and a man jumped out.
The man was dressed in a casual robe, wore a white turban, and carried a sword on his back. He pinched a gourd-shaped wine jug in his right hand, and between the thumb and middle finger of his left hand were two oily red-clothed peanuts. Throw a peanut and take a sip of wine.
His figure was thin and long, and the wind gently swayed, completely exposing his entire bony body to Chen Nuo. His face was sallow, and for some reason it always made people think that he was sick.
But fortunately, his facial features are quite upright, and he also has a beautiful beard, plus his eyes are pure, and the whole person is quite so-so.
Since he was able to move around Han Fu Mansion at will, he was naturally not an idle person. Chen Nuo didn't say a word, stepped forward and greeted him: "Boy Chen Nuo, the cursive words are true, I don't know if Mr. has a big name, can you be willing to give advice?" ”
The man glanced at Chen Nuo left and right, and nodded: "Not bad, not bad!" It's really good that you can say that you can win him and him off. ”
After saying these two sentences, he was still drinking his wine and eating his peanuts.
"Him?"
Chen Nuo was still thinking about who he was referring to, the man drilled behind him, patted his shoulder with one hand, and said with a smile: "Don't ask me first, you answer me first, are you looking for Tian Feng's old man?" ”
Chen Nuo was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I was not good just now, and I unintentionally offended Lord Tian." It's just that he disappeared when I came out, sir, have you seen him, can you tell me where he is? ”
The man smiled, stuffed the wine jug into Chen Nuo's arms, and said, "Of course I saw him, otherwise how would I know about this?" It's okay for you to let me tell you, but you'll have to drink two pots with me first. ”
The constant aroma of wine from the end of his nose can make Chen Nuo hungry enough, listen to what he says, why don't you agree to such a good deal? was about to speak, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and it was clear that someone was coming.
The man's ears were pointed, and when he heard the sound, he immediately took back the flask, and said, "Forget it!" Next time, next time we'll drink again! He abandoned Chen Nuo and jumped into the bushes again.
Chen Nuo turned around, and two soldiers came over and said to Chen Nuo: "The envoy is invited!" ”
