Originally, Liu Chuang was ready to return to Gaomi directly.

But after listening to Zheng Ren's report, he suddenly had the idea of going out to Langya to check.

Since the capture of Langya County, Liu Chuang has not been on patrol. And his understanding of Langya is more derived from the reports of Xu Yi and Zheng Ren.

The sorghum fields in June are extremely beautiful.

When Liu Chuang saw the endless green gauze tent, the song of the later generations suddenly echoed in his mind: The big girl is beautiful and the big girl is lang, and the big girl walks into the green gauze tent...... Liu Chuang showed a strange smile on his face, and suddenly said to Xu Yi: "Ziming, there is one thing you should pay more attention to. After the harvest, leave me some seeds, and send them secretly when the time comes, so that I can use them for other purposes. ”

Xu Yi agreed without hesitation, although he didn't quite understand what Liu Chuang wanted these seeds for, but since he was ordered, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Ziming, after the autumn harvest, let's come to Gaomi."

After Liu Chuang finished inspecting Langya, he said to Xu Yi before leaving.

At the beginning, he used Xu Yi because of Zhuge Liang's recommendation, and there was no one available in his hands.

But after half a year, Liu Chuang already has a general understanding of Xu Yi. He may not have any amazing talents, but he is very down-to-earth and steady. This is about to enter autumn, and after the autumn harvest, Liu Chuang will use troops against Donglai County, and a large number of people will be needed at that time.

The matter of Tuntian has been stabilized.

With Zheng Ren taking over in an all-round way, if you want to come to this problem, there will be no problem.

Liu Chuang hopes to be able to transfer Xu Yi out and prepare for next year's events.

Xu Yi hurriedly said: "I am willing to be sent from my son." ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In mid-June of the second year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang returned to Gaomi.

In a flash of three months, Gaomi developed extremely rapidly.

The migration from Jiaozhou Bay has come to an end, and more than 30,000 people have migrated from the coast of Donghai County in Xuezhou.

And so it goes. The originally desolate Jiaozhou Bay suddenly became extraordinarily lively.

The population of the three counties has surged from 50,000 to 100,000 at the beginning.

The large-scale reclamation of tuntian has also made Jiaozhou Bay gradually show unusual vitality. Liu Chuang felt that it was time to send Tai Shici back.

It is a pity for such a general to stay in Jiaozhou Bay to farm.

With Huang Zhen and Hou Qian here, Baojiaozhou Bay is stable, and there is not much pressure.

The next most important thing is the battle for Donglai. Liu Chuang has continued to have enough strength. The number of soldiers and horses has also expanded to more than 30,000, and they can attack only after the autumn harvest. After solving Donglai County, the next step is Beihai Kingdom. Although Peng Xuan can no longer pose a threat to Liu Chuang, there is such a person's existence. After all, it is not a long-term solution. Liu Chuang is also a little tired of this guy.

You are honest as your Beihai Minister, I don't bother to pay attention to you.

It's good that everyone is okay, but this Peng Xuan has repeatedly provoked conflicts.

In the months since Liu Chuang left Gaomi, Peng Xuan crossed Wenshui twice to capture Chunyu.

Fortunately, Liu Zheng is in charge of Chunyu. Knock Peng Xuan back. Coupled with Guan Hai's several increases in troops, Peng Xuan became honest and did not dare to act rashly.

But this guy refused to be honest, and he couldn't do it. began to spread rumors everywhere.

He even sent people to Anqiu and Chang'an counties, wanting to buy the gentry of the two counties. In April, the Anqiu gentry rebelled and led hundreds of people to attack the county government. Fortunately, Wei Yue, the guard of the Gumu guard, noticed the change. waved troops to quell the rebellion and wiped Anqiu into a gentleman. Completely wiped out.

But this has become a problem for Liu Chuang's henchmen.

At the beginning, Liu Chuang was reluctant to accept the two counties because he didn't want to be too strong.

Now, he has become strong and strong, and it is time to occupy Anqiu and Chang'an, only in this way can he form a whole with Chunyu...... Peng Xuan's actions disgusted Liu Chuang like a fly. If you don't kill him, Liu Chuang wants to live in peace, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.

However, this matter needs to be reported to Zheng Xuan.

In short, Liu Chuang found that he actually had so many things to deal with in his hands, which made him feel a little headache.

But when Liu Chuang returned to Gaomi, he found that there was an unexpected joy waiting for him......

In the living room of the Zheng Mansion, Zheng Xuan pointed at Liu Chuang with a smile and said to an old man next to him: "Yuan Fang, you see that this is the son of Ziqi." ”

The old man was about fifty or sixty years old, and he had a clear appearance and a good look.

He was dressed in a green robe and a scarf on his head.

"Brother Ziqi will be very happy if he knows about it."

Liu Chuang didn't know the old man, but he knew the young man next to the old man.

"Chen Qun?"

Liu Chuang lost his voice and called out the young man's name.

"It turns out that you are Liu Mengyan."

Chen Qun hasn't changed much, but he seems to be more calm and capable.

He pointed at Liu Chuang, and suddenly couldn't help but smile: "I just said that when I saw you that day, I felt a little familiar...... Father, do you see that between his eyebrows and eyebrows, is he similar to the Marquis of Zhongling? Last year, I met him outside Huaiyin City, but I was in a hurry and didn't talk to Meng Yan. ”

Last year, Liu Chuang was hired by the Elk family to escort goods to Huaiyin.

At that time, when he was crossing the Huaishui, he saw the Huaishui surging, so he recited a hand of poetry, who knew that Chen Qun heard it, and stepped forward to cross.

But Liu Chuang at that time was a nobody.

Although Chen Qun was a little down, he was about to go to Xuzhou to serve as a special driver, which was also a spring breeze.

The two people, who originally had no intersection, passed by after a few words on the bank of the Huaishui River, and there was no longer any contact.

In fact, even Liu Chuang would not have thought that one day he would reunite with Chen Qun.

When Zheng Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but show curiosity.

"How can Meng Yan still compose poetry? How I don't know. ”

"Hehe, Liu Gongzi is busy with government affairs on weekdays, how can he have time to ......"

The old man didn't think that Liu Chuang could really make any poems, it must have been Chen Qun's polite words. He was worried that Zheng Xuan asked Liu Chuang to write poems on the spot, in case Liu Chuang couldn't do it, he would be annoyed and angry, and even anger Chen Qun, but it would be troublesome. So. He hurriedly got up and played a round for Liu Chuang.

Zheng Xuan didn't pursue it any further, pointed at the old man and said, "This Chen Ji Chen Yuanfang is also your elder. ”

Liu Chuang was stunned and said in surprise: "But what about Mr. Chen, who wrote "Chen Zi"? ”

Chen Ji was suddenly happy, "I didn't expect Meng Yan to be clumsy?" ”

In the early years, Chen Ji was also affected by the struggle between the party and the government. When he was imprisoned, he wrote a book of 10,000 words, called "Chen Zi". It is quite prestigious in Shilin.

Chen Qun is the son of Chen Ji.

"Meng Yan, Yuan Fang was invited by Youruo to come to help you with a long text.

You are busy with affairs now, and you have great talent in long essays. That's where you can help. ”

Liu Chuangzheng wondered how Chen Qun could appear here.

Hearing Zheng Xuan say this, he suddenly became stunned.

I was also secretly grateful to Xun Chen in my heart...... He, the old man, really thought about him, and actually brought Chen Qun here.

"With the help of Changwen today, I will be able to make it much easier."

Chen Qun smiled slightly and did not say more.

Chen Jidao: "That's right. I just heard Kang Cheng say that you want to make paper to reorganize the classics, but seriously? ”

"Ah, that's true."

Chen Ji showed a look of praise on his face. Turning his head to Zheng Xuan, he said: "It is worthy of Ziqi, although he was dusty at a young age, he did not forget his knowledge." This is a great relationship for a thousand years, I thought Meng Yan was about it. It's done a great job, and I'm very impressed. So be it. If Kang Chenggong does not give up, I will also participate in it. If I don't have enough manpower, I'll write back and find a few more old friends to help.

To be honest, I wanted to take a long article to Xuzhou before, but when Youruo sent a letter, I was still a little reluctant.

Although Meng Yan is the queen of Ziqi, after all, he suffered when he was a child, and I am worried that Ziqi will be cut off from the future. When I saw it today, I was glad for Ziqi. ”

He's going to make a book?

When Liu Chuang heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also thinking about how to arrange this old gentleman.

Chen Ji's reputation and identity are there, and Liu Chuang is not slacking. But he didn't want such an old gentleman to point fingers at him every day.

Since he is willing to compile the book, he can save a lot of trouble.

Liu Chuang was very happy in his heart, but he was still polite.

"Boss, why do you want to take refuge in Xuzhou?"

After everyone sat down, Liu Chuang couldn't help but ask: "As far as I know, there seems to be no war in Yuzhou, why do you want to go to Xuzhou?" ”

"Oh, it's not a secret.

Since Cao Sikong welcomed the Son of Heaven and moved the capital to Xudu, Yuzhou has been basically calm except for some wars in Runan.

However, Zhang Xiu occupied Nanyang and was eyeing Yingchuan.

I'm very worried that if Zhang Xiu suddenly uses troops, Yingchuan will inevitably suffer...... That's why I want to take Changwen to Guangling. But now it seems that this Xuzhou is not a place of refuge. Meng Yan went to Xiapi to join forces with Lu Bu this time, this is military politics, and I don't want to get involved. It's just that Meng Yan hit Chen Hanyu in Xiapi, but he offended many people. That Chen Hanyu is in Yingchuan, and he is also famous. ”

Liu Chuang heard this and smiled slightly.

"People respect me, I respect people.

I have always admired Chen Jue, but he is holding back his thoughts and wants to harm me, how can I be restrained? ”

Chen Ji smiled: "Meng Yan doesn't have to explain, I don't mean to blame you."

But Chen Qi is a celebrity after all, and he has a lot of friends...... You have to be careful, he is by Liu Bei's side now, and he will have to trouble you. Give a dog a bad name and hang him! If I hadn't come to Beihai, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what Meng Yan was like...... So, I think you should have some countermeasures. ”

Give a dog a bad name and hang him......

Liu Chuang's heart sank and nodded slightly.

This is an era that attaches great importance to fame, although he is the son of Liu Tao, but Liu Tao is dead after all, and it is impossible to protect him all the time. Sooner or later, this identity will lose its role. Of course, Liu Chuang knows the truth of tea cooling. This point, judging from the fact that Yingchuan has not made any efforts to form an effective response to him, can be seen.

Maybe those people were worried about Cao Cao's power, or maybe they had other considerations.

But after Liu Chuang's life was clear, the Yingchuan clan remained silent.

Although Yang Biao and others won him the name of Uncle of the Great Han Dynasty, it was more of a relationship of exploitation. The Yingchuan Township Party, which should really give Liu Chuang's support, has remained silent. If it weren't for Xun Chen, I'm afraid Chen Ji might not have come to Beihai.

Cause?

I'm afraid it's also because Liu Chuang is nameless.

After all, Chen Qi is a celebrity, and he has his own circle.

When the time comes, these people will do their best to slander, and Liu Chuang may be difficult to argue.

So, make sure you have your voice heard...... Chen Ji is right. Relying on the shadow of the father alone, I am afraid it will not last long.

"Please give me some advice."

"I don't dare to say the pointing, but Meng Yan, you make paper and compile books, which is a major event that is beneficial to the present and beneficial to the future, why is it hidden until now? There's nothing to hide about this kind of thing, on the contrary, you should make a big show. The more people who participate, the more momentum it creates.

Meng Yan. I thought you should try to recruit people from all over the world to participate in this event!

Also, there's one more thing that I don't think you're doing well...... No, it's not bad. It's extremely poor. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Chuang shuddered, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please correct the boss." ”

"This matter was also mentioned to me by Changwen on the road, so let's talk about it by Changwen."

Chen Ji was very satisfied with Liu Chuang's attitude.

However, he still gave up the opportunity to Chen Qun.

He was now preoccupied with making paper and making books, and he had no interest in those conspiracies and calculations. It's Chen Qun. In the future, he will have to make a living under Liu Chuang. Therefore, letting Chen Qun show his face is also good for his future development, how can Chen Jiyou let go of the opportunity?

Liu Chuang looked at Chen Qun, but saw Chen Qun smiling. He said softly: "It's been some time since the son was rewarded by the Son of Heaven." ”

"Yes!"

"But Childe, have you ever thanked the Son of Heaven?"

"This ......"

Chen Qun smiled: "I know that you are busy with military and political affairs now, but no matter how busy you are, the etiquette cannot be abolished."

The Son of Heaven recognizes you as the emperor's uncle. Crowning you as the Marquis of Guan Pavilion is also the Son of Heaven's ardent expectation for you. Childe, although you are the Marquis of Zhongling. But you must know that without the Son of Heaven Longen, it may be very difficult for you to sit firmly in the North Sea now. Therefore, give thanks to the Son of Heaven and pay tribute. The heavier the kindness of the Son of Heaven, the greater the benefits to the Son...... You must know that this country is still a Han dynasty. ”

Chen Qun's words, Zheng Xuan and Chen Ji nodded again and again, expressing their appreciation.

And Liu Chuang was a chill, and he found that he had made such a huge mistake.

Inheriting the concept of future generations, Liu Chuang subconsciously regarded Jian'an as the Three Kingdoms, and more or less contemptuous of Liu Xie, the son of heaven.

But he ignored a problem, which is still the Han dynasty.

The people of the world still respect the Han family, and the Son of Heaven is the representative of the Han family.

You don't see the princes from all walks of life beating you to the death, and you don't take the Son of Heaven in your eyes at all. But as soon as Yuan Shu rebelled, even Yuan Shao hurriedly wanted to clear up the relationship with Yuan Shu...... Whether it is the Son of Heaven to order the princes, or to pull the banner of the tiger, Liu Chuang found that he did not really use the banner of the Emperor Uncle of the Han Dynasty well. On the contrary, it was Liu Bei who used his identity after King Jing of Zhongshan to be superb.

"Changwen, is there a remedy now?"

Liu Chuang's attention to Chen Qun suddenly increased several times.

Chen Qun smiled slightly, "Naturally, there is a way to remedy it...... Childe immediately played a letter and played the Son of Heaven.

You will write the development of these days here together with the statement of the Son of Heaven, as well as the fact that you want to make paper and compile books......

This is the attitude, it is good for the son to have such an attitude, and if he believes in the Son of Heaven, he will be very happy. ”

Liu Chuang nodded again and again.

I have to say that Chen Qun's arrival allowed him to avoid a huge mistake.

If he has been unwilling to give the Son of Heaven a recital, if he has been unwilling to take the initiative to contact the Son of Heaven, after a long time, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will be estranged. I recognize you as my uncle, but you haven't even heard from you? After a long time, will Liu Xie still have hope for Liu Chuang? I'm afraid that when the time comes, not only will he not pin his hopes on Liu Chuang, but he will also think that Liu Chuang is not grateful and is definitely not a loyal minister.

In that case, you're in trouble......

When Liu Chuang thought of this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He had already felt the benefits brought to him by the status of an imperial uncle, but without this identity, he would inevitably add many difficulties.

"What the long article said is extremely true, and it is indeed my negligence."

He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It's better to ask a long essay to write a note for me, and then I can transcribe it." ”

Chen Qun was stunned when he heard this, and immediately agreed.

Chen Ji and his son knew that Liu Chuang came to visit Zheng Xuan, and there must be something to discuss.

So after a few words of greeting with Liu Chuang, Chen Ji excused himself to be tired and asked Chen Qun to help him leave.

"Changwen, what do you think of this Liu Mengyan?"

After leaving the living room, Chen Ji suddenly asked.

Chen Qun thought for a while, "This person can accept advice, can change mistakes when he knows them, and has a good mind and bearing."

Moreover, he was quite ambitious, and judging from his paper-making and book-making, it was obvious that he was asking for the name of eternity...... It's just that I don't know what the future holds. But since I'm here, I'm interested in him, so I might as well stay and observe. ”

"Well, since you have a plan, then I will not persuade you anymore.

I decided to stay, not for Liu Chuang, but for the paper-making book...... If you find that this person can't help, don't worry about my business, just leave. With Kang Chenggong here, he can't be difficult for me, and he must not delay his future because of me. ”

Every father will worry about the future of his children.

Chen Qun smiled slightly, "Father rest assured, the child knows the severity." ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Zheng Xuan took Liu Chuang to the study, showing a tired look.

He sat on the couch chair on his side and said to Liu Chuang: "Yuan Fang came with his son at the invitation of Youruo.

However, I can see that Chen Qun has not completely surrendered to you. At his age, he is arrogant, so it is inevitable that he will be a little arrogant. In addition, you are too young, although you are brave and powerful, and you are the identity of the emperor's uncle, it is not difficult to suppress him.

Therefore, you must be careful not to be complacent because of what you have achieved so far. ”

Looking at Zheng Xuan's tired face, Liu Chuang couldn't help but be moved, stepped forward and knelt down beside the couch chair, and gently knocked Zheng Xuan's legs.

Although he is not Liu Chuang's father, it can be seen that he really cares about Liu Chuang, and he is also sincerely planning for Liu Chuang's future.

"I've heard about what you're doing in Xiapi.

Chen Hanyu is too utilitarian, and he is afraid that he will die well. In addition, he has always been opportunistic...... I don't think he really wants to assist Liu Bei. But what Yuan Fang said is right, you are less this year, and you need to be more famous. I wanted to make a paper and make a book slowly, but now that I think about it, I don't think about it a little bit. Well, you have to vigorously publicize this matter, so that everyone in the world knows that you Liu Mengyan has a mind. ”

Liu Chuang nodded and said, "Chuang understands." ”

Zheng Xuan let out a long breath and closed his eyes.

After a while, he suddenly asked, "Are you going to Xiapi now, do you think that Lu Bu can hold on?" ”
