Wang Zhen saw that Wen Chou had already made proper arrangements, and he didn't say much, so he took Zhou Lu and the others to hurry to see Kong Ling.

At this time, seeing them come to ask for a meeting, it was expected that they should have asked Wen Chou from Wen Chou for a countermeasure, so he ordered him to put it in the door, and said in his heart: "I am the assassin of Yuzhou, and it is natural to act as the governor of the county affairs of the state of Benzhou, and I will see what the response strategy of Wen Chou children has?" ”

Wang Zhen, Zhou Lu and others entered the courtyard and saluted. Kong Ling asked knowingly, "Have you taken the people and the grain book?" Present it to me for a look. ”

Wang Zhen frowned and said: "The people and grain books are divided into each Cao, and Cao Peng doesn't know where he went, and he can't take it out for a while. ”

"Why did you come to see a despicable person without taking the book?" Kong Ling said quite nourishingly.

"It's still about building a camp for soldiers and horses." Zhou Lu said.

"Huh?" Kong Ling frowned.

"The army led by the Duke of Ming is very powerful, and the Duke of Ming is very strict, and the military discipline is clear, but where can the people in the county know the prestige of the Duke of Ming? Now at first glance, tens of thousands of cavalry soldiers have been stationed, close to the outskirts of the county, and they are all afraid and frightened. That's why we dare to ask the Ming Gong to choose a good place as soon as possible, set up camp, and promote Weide to appease the small people. ”

Kong Ling said in his heart: "Wen Chou is not stupid, he understands my serial plan, and guesses that I check the grain is light, and it is important to take away his camp, so I want to use the people as a force to force me to choose another camp to paralyze the family barrier." You kid, you insulted me like that before, how can I let you get your way? ”

He shook the jade Ruyi twice and said, "Since you know that our army is strictly disciplined, why should you worry that the soldiers will disturb the people? There is no need to do what he said, you should hurry up and bring me the people and grain books of Ru County. ”

repelled Wang Zhen, Zhou Lu and others. Watching them walk away in a gloomy way, Kong Ling sat in the hall, feeling happy.

He touched Yu Ruyi and thought to himself: "The Yingchuan County Government gave Wen Chou a lot of grain, and when I got the grain book, I forced him to return the grain." I expected that he would not pay it back, and if he did not make it tight, I would do it again to 'retreat as advance', and it was false to ask him to return the food, so I pretended to take a step back and forced him to give up the camp to me, and it was true that I would take his camp and make his prestige greatly lost, and I could take revenge for his humiliation of me. ”

Wang Zhen and Zhou Lu went to Wen Chou's camp again. Relay Kong Ling's words to Wen Chou.

Wen Chou was taken aback and asked, "Jun and the others haven't handed over the grain book to Kong Yuzhou?" ”

“……。” Wang Zhen and Zhou Lu didn't expect that after listening to Wen Chou, the first sentence he asked was this.

Zhou Lu said: "Lord, the grain book is a small matter, but the meaning of Kong Gong's grain book is deep!" …… The lord asked him to choose a camp early, but he ignored it, what should be done? ”

Wen Chou smiled: "If he ignores it, you can tell the county people." You can also tell the Yuzhou army, just say that the county government will not give land. Instead, Yuzhou was reluctant to set up camp. ”

Wang Zhen and Zhou Ludun were surprised and delighted when they were ugly. Wang Zhen said: "Wen Jun's clever plan! ”

One day after Kong Lingfang arrived in Yangzhai, the county scholars and people may not have realized the danger of tens of thousands of horses staying in the open on the outskirts of the county, and the Yuzhou army may not have realized that if Kong Lingfang did not set up camp for them again, they would have to continue to sleep in the wilderness, the weather in early February. It's still very cold at night, living in the wilderness, sleeping with A, and few people want to suffer from this.

What they didn't realize, Wen Chou reminded them. It can be expected: after getting the news of the king array, Zhou Lu, etc. The scholars and people inside and outside Yangzhai County will definitely be in an uproar, and the Yuzhou army will also be in an uproar, at that time, it will be too late for Kong Ling to deal with these things, and where will he have the energy to find trouble with Wang Zhen, Zhou Lu and others and Wen Chou?

Therefore, Wang Zhen said "wonderful plan".

Since Kong Ling doesn't have the energy to find trouble with Wen Chou anymore, it is relatively impossible to take Wen Chou's camp again.

These are just one aspect of Wen Chou's "plan", and there is another aspect that Wang Zhen and Zhou Lu have not seen for the time being.

The real purpose of Wen Chou's "plan" is not to cause chaos for Kong Ling and make him take care of himself, but to damage Kong Ling's reputation in the county and shake the military spirit of the Yuzhou army.

And no matter which aspect of "this plan", in fact, this is just a casual blow from Wen Chou after seeing Kong Ling's desire to seize his camp, as for Kong Ling's plan to act as an agent for Yingchuan County affairs and check the grain to force each other, Wen Chou has other countermeasures.

Wang Zhen, Zhou Lu and others said goodbye to Wen Chou, returned to the county, and invited relatives and friends to have a drink that night, and when the wine was hot, they either pretended to be gaffes and told Kong Ling's "refusal to camp", or deliberately sighed to attract others to ask, and then told Kong Ling's "refusal to camp", and by the way, expressed his concern for the safety of the scholars, people, clans, and personal safety inside and outside the county.

In this way, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, it is related to the safety of the county, and the news spreads quickly. In the afternoon of the next day, hundreds of scholars gathered outside Kong Ling's gate to petition together, begging Kong Ling to choose a camp and settle down as soon as possible. Not only did the county soldiers and people come a lot, but the captains and soldiers of the Yuzhou Army heard about it, and they also came to Kong Ling to inquire.

When Kong Ling was anxious, he suddenly heard a piece of news, that is, Sun Jian's soldiers entered Yingchuan, and Yuan Shu expressed Sun Jian as the Taishou of Yingchuan. This was a compromise between Wen Chou and Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, and for the sake of their own interests, Yuan Shu finally recognized the intervention of Wen Chou, an external force. Thus, to a certain extent, Tong Wenchou and Sun Jian formed a small group. Of course, the price paid for this Chinese ugliness is not small, and the first thing is to block the knife for Yuan Shu and resist the threat from Dong Zhuo and even Yuan Shao!

When Kong Ling heard the news at first glance, he was shocked and angry. He hurriedly summoned Luo Tao and said angrily: "I regret not listening to Qing's words, I didn't expect Wen Zixiao to really dare to use his thoughts, and he actually said that Yuan Highway played someone else as Yingchuan Taishou." "Although it is not what Wen Chou said, but it was indeed planned by Wen Chou, it was just borrowed from Yuan Shu's hand to achieve the matter of 'Sun Jian becoming the Taishou of Yingchuan'.

Kong Ling's "serial plan" of "forcing Wen Chou to let the camp" was his own idea, but before putting it into action, he consulted Luo Tao's opinion, and Luo Tao said to him at the time: "Ming Gong's plan is good, but in the next view, it seems that there is still something to discuss." ”

Kong Ling asked him, "Where is it to discuss?" ”

"Now that Yingchuan is lacking, it is of course possible for the Ming Duke to temporarily take care of the military and political affairs of Yingchuan as the assassin of Yuzhou, but in case General Wen simply chooses another person after knowing about it. The above table is Yingchuan Taishou, won't Ming Gong's plan fail? ”

Kong Ling said: "How can Wen Zixiao be virtuous, and where does he have the courage to dare to do such a thing? "What he thinks is not bad, but Wen Chou is not without courage, but without strength, because he is only a lieutenant with more than 2,000 stones. How can you show others as the guardians of a county? It is the thought that Wen Chou can only use to borrow strength.

Moreover, now the Kwantung Dynasty is asking for Dong, although they exchange general numbers, but this is just for the convenience of marching and fighting, to put it bluntly, General Xingwu Meng of Wen Chou, General Xing Jianwei of Kong Ling, etc., are just a fictitious name, fluttering, and have no real power, but the official position of "Yingchuan Taishou" has real power. Although there is Dong Zhuo's chaotic government in the court, the court in Luoyang is still the right thing in the world, the so-called "only weapons and names, no dummies", such as Yingchuan such a heavy county guard, you are a county to guard the history of the state? That's arrogant! The Han family has been in the world for 400 years, and under the prestige of the imperial court, Kong Ling does not have the courage to defend it anyway. So he didn't think that Wen Chou would dare.

Luo Tao said: "The Kanto group rose up to ask for Dong, and it was as it was. Then everyone is a national hero, if it doesn't work, then the world will be in turmoil, at this time, the king is defeated, just a Yingchuan too guard. How could Wen Zixiao not have the courage to come to the table? This meaning is not good to say to Kong Ling, so he said, "This is not good." In order to be safe, the military administration of Yingchuan and the Ming Duke himself were temporarily deputized. It's better to strike first, and simply watch one person guard the county, so that even if Wen Zixiao uses any means to show others, it is not a good position. ”

On the one hand, Kong Ling didn't believe that Wen Chou had the courage, on the other hand, there was no suitable candidate at hand,—— Yingchuan is a famous county in the country, and it is not just a random person who can be the Taishou, first of all, the reputation and qualifications are enough, such a candidate is not easy to find, therefore, Kong Ling did not follow Luo Tao's advice.

Unexpectedly, Wen Chou really used his mind to make Yuan Shu express Sun Jian as Yingchuan Taishou.

Although Sun Jian is not a scholar in the real sense, he has also been a member of the court as a speaker, and has experienced and released the post of Changsha Taishou, and has the title of Marquis of Wucheng, with sufficient qualifications, Yuan Shu shows him as Yingchuan Taishou, at least logically speaking, no one can find out the shortcomings.

At this time, he heard that Yuan Shu was on the table of Sun Jian as the Taishou of Yingchuan, and Kong Ling regretted it, but it was too late, he asked Luo Tao: "Sun Wentai is now the Taishou of Yingchuan by Yuan Highway, and he will soon lead the army to Yangzhai, what is Qing's plan?" Can this be solved? "If Wen Chou had gone on the table privately, it would have been impossible to say that Kong Ling's shock would not have been so big, but Yuan Shu's halfway stab made him a little confused.

Luo Tao replied: "Although Yuan Highway expressed Sun Wentai as the Taishou of Yingchuan, but it is only on the table, in my expectation, the imperial court will not have a reply, without the official appointment document of the imperial court, Sun Wentai will not be right, his words are not good, and the Ming Duke can completely ignore him." ”

Kong Ling was worried, and said: "The truth is this truth, but you have also seen the situation of the Yingchuan County Government, the officials in the palace are more inclined to Wen Zixiao, and I am embarrassed, Yuan Highway has now expressed Sun Wentai as the Yingchuan Taishou, and when he arrives in Yangzhai, even if there is no official document from the imperial court, the county government is afraid that it will be obedient to Wenzi's filial piety and serve him as a long, and at that time, even if I ignore it, it will be useless." And there is another worry hidden in his words, that is, Wen Chou and Sun Jian are in charge of the land of Yingchuan as the vanguard of Yuan Shu, so what is the matter with this Yingchuan, even Yuzhou and his Kong Ling? Aren't they all Yuan Shu's small group of three?

Luo Tao said in his heart: "How can I not know this? That's why I suggested earlier that you raise one person as Yingchuan Taishou. But you didn't listen to my advice then, so what's the use of regretting it now? said, "There is only one way to do it now." ”

"Oh? What's the plan? Speak quickly, speak quickly. Kong Ling heard that there was a solution, and said anxiously at the moment.

"Fortunately, as soon as Ming Gong arrived in Yangzhai, he lived in the back house of the county government, which is the residence of the county guard, next to the front yard of the county government, as long as Ming Gong does not give this house to Sun Wentai, it is that the county government is all interested in General Wen, and it is expected that he should not be hesitant to serve Sun Wentai as a long." Luo Tao said.

The back house of the county government is the residence of the Taishou, although Sun Jian was Yuan Shubiao for Yingchuan Taishou, but if he can't live in the back house, this shows that Sun Jian and Wen Chou can't compete with Kong Ling, that is to say, their strength is not as good as Kong Ling, so that even if most of the county officials are interested in Wen Chou, in the face of Kong Ling's "hard power", they will definitely weigh it again, and maybe, they can take advantage of this incident to win over those county officials who are already interested in Wen Chou after showing their "hard power".

Kong Ling was overjoyed and said, "Good plan, good plan!" ”

Luo Tao said: "Sun Wentai was listed as the Taishou of Yingchuan by General Yuan Highway, and he was very happy to get the name of the country from Changsha, a distant county, I have heard that he is the tiger general of the world, and the fierce eagle is powerful, and I heard that he has forced Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, on the way to death; The soldiers went to Nanyang and killed Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi! Today, in order to sit in the position of Yingchuan Taishou, maybe he will use strong, Ming Gong must not take it lightly, and must make arrangements as soon as possible to prevent him from competing for the back house. ”

Kong Ling was even more shocked when he heard this, but he still forced himself to calm down and said: "I heard the report that Sun Wentai only brought more than 10,000 soldiers and horses with him, and he and Wen Zixiao only had 30,000 soldiers, how can I have strong soldiers and horses?" 'Use strong'? How dare he use strong? ”

Having said that, you can think about Wen Chou, before Sun Jian arrived, only 20,000 people dared to fight against him, but this is also unavoidable. Because he called him to wait for him, he ordered to select 1,000 elite soldiers in the army, and explained: "I will send it to the house tomorrow, and I will use it as a guard." ”

Not to mention Kong Ling's arrangement, but said that Sun Jian arrived at the boundary of Yingchuan County, Han Meng greeted him personally, and personally led the way and sent him to Yangzhai. Wen Chou went out of the county thirty miles and caught Sun Jian. The two met each other, with some joy and affection, although it was the first time they met, but they had the same background, the same temperament, and the same experience, which made them feel like each other at first sight. Before that, the two of them were all in admiration for each other. Wen Chou admires 'Sun Jian', the Jiangdong Tiger, and Sun Jian admires 'Wen Chou' for being able to seize the opportunity and rise rapidly with a small amount of capital!

When they met for the first time, Sun Jian brought nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers were all majestic. At the same time, the main staff and henchmen of both sides were introduced and greeted, and everyone talked and laughed, and under the support of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, they went to Yangzhai County from time to time.
