In November of the second year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang ordered Gao Shun and Xu Chu to lead Xiong Zhen's army into Donglai County.

At the same time, Tai Shi Ci was ordered to return from Donglai County, and Wang Xiu succeeded Tai Shi Ci as the Taishou of Donglai County. In terms of the ability to fight, ten Wang Xiu can't compare to one Tai Shici. However, in terms of government ability, Tai Shici is not Wang Xiu's opponent.

After Wang Xiu entered Donglai County, he immediately ordered Xu Shengtun to be stationed in Changguang.

Subsequently, he ordered Gao Shun and Xu Chu to carry out an operation to eliminate bandits in Dongmu, eliminating several thieves one after another, and even uprooting and completely destroying a prominent clan in Dongmu.

Wang Xiu's excuse is very simple, the other party colluded with the bandits and ran rampant in the township.

Although it is only a small family, it makes the whole Donglai County feel an unusual taste.

Wang Xiu, no better than Tai Shici!

He is also a famous man in Beihai Country, and his identity is enough to suppress those powerful gentlemen.

Now his wrist is extremely tough, and he clearly tells those people that if he doesn't obey discipline, he doesn't mind eradicating the other party one by one.

In just a few days, although Donglai County is not a big deal, the situation has improved a lot compared to earlier.

Liu Chuang is very, very happy about this.

This also shows that his previous decision was not wrong......

However, he did not have the spirit to pay attention to the situation in Donglai County now.

Because he has more important things to do, and the big wedding is approaching, he simply doesn't have time to be distracted by the affairs of Donglai County!

Liu Chuang's marriage has actually been decided a long time ago.

At the beginning of the year, Guan Ning sent Xun Dan back to Qi County, and he had already discussed it with Xun Chen.

It's just that a lot of things happened later, first Liu Chuang went to Xiapi to form an alliance with Lu Bu, and then there was a war against Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County, followed by Liu Chuang was invited to Qi County. This one goes back and forth. The wedding date was postponed until the end of the year, and if it was postponed again, it would be somewhat unreasonable.

Liu Chuang's wedding will marry Xun Dan, Lu Jin, and Zhuge Ling at the same time.

Although Mrs. Gan also worshipped Zheng Xuan as her father-in-law, she was married for the second time after all. And her identity is very sensitive, if she shows her head on such an occasion, she will rarely be recognized. After all, Mrs. Gan was once Liu Bei's wife, and she was already a dead person. If she shows up at this time. And if you marry Liu Chuang, it will not be a good thing for Liu Chuang or Mrs. Gan.

So......

Mrs. Gan didn't pay much attention to this.

Can have today's biochemistry. She was already very satisfied.

Even if it is to be a concubine, it is better than being displaced with Liu Bei, who can only be a tool to vent his desires.

At least, Liu Chuang has always respected her!

It's just that Liu Chuang would never have thought that his marriage would attract the attention of many people.

"Why did Tian Feng come?"

Liu Chuang couldn't help but be surprised, and looked at Zheng Xuan suspiciously.

in the mind. But Tian Feng's life involuntarily emerged.

To be honest, Tian Feng's ability is undoubted, but Liu Chuang's senses for him are not very good.

This is a direct minister. Fierce temperament. If you stand from the perspective of a bystander, Tian Feng's actions are enough to make Liu Chuang feel admired.

But if you put yourself in his shoes, his temperament. I'm afraid not many people can stand it.

It's too strong, it's too upright. I don't understand the way of rigidity and softness at all, and I am blindly strong, and I will inevitably end up desolate.

In his previous life, Liu Chuang once discussed Tian Feng's temperament with a friend.

At that time, the two of them also had a dispute over this, because Liu Chuang felt that Tian Feng's temperament, even if he was replaced by Cao Cao, might not be able to die well in the end. It's a good thing that you're upright, but you can't ignore the occasion. And Tian Feng seemed to have done something inadequate at this point, contradicting Yuan Shao several times, and even because Yuan Shao did not adopt his opinion, he scolded with a cane outside the gate of the General's Mansion.

Liu Chuang really doesn't know, if he is himself, can he really tolerate Tian Feng's attitude?

Zheng Xuan lay on the couch on his side, coughed lightly and said, "Tian Feng is a person who has the ability to see and know...... Listening to Youruo's words, this time he took the initiative to ask to come, I'm afraid he was a little afraid of you. In other words, he is curious about you and is interested in you.

But no matter what the reason, the purpose of his visit this time is by no means simple.

Therefore, you have to be more careful, and don't show flaws in what you say and do, otherwise, with Tian Feng's shrewdness, you will definitely be able to perceive something. ”

In other words, he is here to observe you.

After December, the weather in Beihai Country changes greatly.

After two heavy snowfalls, the temperature became very low. Zheng Xuan's body has never been very good...... After all, people in their seventies will inevitably have one kind of problem. In the past few days, I feel more unwell, so I don't see people much at home.

But today, he is in good spirits.

Because in addition to Liu Chuang, Xun Chen also came to visit.

Xun Dan got married, and Xun Chen sent his daughter to complete the marriage. After coming to Gaomi, he asked Liu Chuang to take him to visit Zheng Xuan.

During the conversation, Xun Chen told Zheng Xuan that Tian Feng would come to Gaomi with the third son, Yuan Shang, which made Liu Chuang feel a little nervous.

After listening to Zheng Xuan, Xun Chen also spoke: "I heard that Tian Feng took some care of Meng Yan in Yecheng.

However, I also think that he may not have any good intentions when he came this time. This person's insight and eyesight are extraordinary...... He and Fu Gong can be said to be Yuan Gong's right-hand men, they are the kind of people who are thoughtful and have no last resort, and Meng Yan must not underestimate him. ”

Of course I won't underestimate him!

Liu Chuang muttered in his heart, but his brows frowned, looking a little worried.

"So what should I do?"

Don't look at Liu Chuang's current status as a prince, but if you want to deal with real top strategists, you don't have much experience in this area.

Xun Chen and Zheng Xuan glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't expect the famous flying bear to be nervous."

"Sir, why do you talk like that?"

Hearing Xun Chen's joke, Liu Chuang couldn't help but smile wryly, "Since that Tian Feng is as powerful as you said, it's normal for me to be nervous." ”

"Youruo, don't joke with Meng Yan."

Zheng Xuan smiled and said, "Actually, Meng Yan doesn't have to be nervous, just do what you want."

Although Tian Feng is very shrewd, he is not an unreasonable person. You just have to do your part and don't worry about anything else. ”

Do your part?

Liu Chuang was stunned. immediately understood the meaning of Zheng Xuan's words.

Although he is now a prince, he is still far from Yuan Shao.

Therefore, put aside those unrealistic ideas, and then do things step by step, even if Tian Feng has great ability, what can he do? After all, Liu Chuang sits on the two places of Beihai and Donglai, and is an important force to contain Cao Cao. In a short period of time, no one can replace it.

Thinking about this, Liu Chuang couldn't help but laugh.

He was indeed frightened by Tian Feng's name, so he felt at a loss.

"What the boss said is that Chuang already knows what to do."

"And. I'm afraid Gaomi will be very busy in the past two days, so you have to make more preparations.

I have received a letter from the third brother, and he will come to Gaomi in the near future to congratulate you on Cao Cao's behalf. However, I think his purpose will not be simple. ”

"You mean, Hugh is going to come?"

Zheng Xuan raised his head. looked at Xun Chen in surprise, showing surprise.

Xun Chen nodded and said, "Yes, he said that he was sent by the Son of Heaven, but as today...... Order not to leave the palace gate. It's just a puppet in Cao Cao's hands. He must have been sent by Cao Cao, but it is not yet possible to guess his purpose. But thinking about it, Cao Cao may not have any good intentions. ”

Liu Chuang was on the side, and finally understood!

Hugh. It is Xun Chen's third brother Xun Yan.

He came to Gaomi?

Liu Chuang doesn't think that between himself and Cao Cao. There is such a good relationship.

was just calculated by Cao Cao once, if it weren't for Xun Chen's quick reaction and quick letting Xun Lu go to find Yuan Shang, Liu Chuang would have suffered.

Before, Guo Jia appeared in Gaomi, which surprised Liu Chuang.

And now Cao Cao sent Xun Yan to congratulate? As Xun Chen said, I'm afraid it's not that simple......

"Sir, how am I going to receive him?"

Liu Chuang had a headache, because the people who came were not ordinary people, and they couldn't be lazy.

Zheng Xuan's white eyebrows moved twice, "Meng Yan doesn't have to worry, just follow the etiquette and receive them...... It's just that you need to have more soldiers and horses in your city in case something happens. Gaomi, but never so lively. My guess is that I'm afraid there will be more coming.

Be careful not to let them get into trouble in the city.

No matter who Hugh Ruo was sent to, he represented the majesty of the Son of Heaven. Since you are a member of the Han family, you should naturally abide by the way of a courtier. The level of reception Huruo can be higher than others, what about others...... It is treated equally, and there is no need to distinguish between superior and inferior. ”

In other words, even if it is Tian Feng, he doesn't have to be too respectful.

This is called neither humble nor arrogant.

After hearing this, Liu Chuang thought so, and hurriedly got up and said, "Since this is the case, then I will go and arrange it." ”

"If you stay, I have something to say to you."

In terms of generation, Xun Chen and Zheng Xuan are the same generation.

But in fact, Zheng Xuan has a very good relationship with Xun Chen's father, Xun Xuan, and Xun Chen has to perform the gift of a disciple in front of Zheng Xuan.

After Liu Chuang left, Zheng Xuan sat up with difficulty.

"Youruo, Meng Yanzhizhi, I think you already know, but I don't know what you plan?"

Xun Chen was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Zheng Xuan meant.

He smiled bitterly, "Boss, I want to help my son-in-law...... But Meng Yan's current situation is not very good. He had previously told me his thoughts, and I was operating in the shadows. But the boss should know that by Yuan Gong's side, there are Tian Feng and Fu Zhi who give advice, and there are even more resourceful people like Xu You. I need to be careful, if I miss the horse's feet, it will be doomed. ”

"I know your difficulties, but ......"

Zheng Xuan hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I think you know better, Meng Yan may not be able to support it for too long." ”

Xun Chen nodded and sighed.

"Don't worry, boss, when necessary, I will send troops to help."

Who knows, Zheng Xuan shook his head, "This is not the best policy...... But I do have an idea, I don't know if you have the guts. ”

"Oh?"

"The only one Yuan Shao is afraid of today is Gongsun Zhan'er.

After going back this time, why didn't you ask Yuan Gong for his life and go to spy on Gongsun Zhan? ”

"The Boss means ......"

"Since Meng Yan intends to go north to Youzhou, he needs some help to do it.

When you go to deal with Gongsun Zhan, it is best to garrison the Bohai Sea...... On the one hand, he can avoid the faction under Yuan Shao's account, and on the other hand, he can also make a forward stop for Meng Yan. But I know you don't like trivialities. But this is for your son-in-law. I guess you won't say no. ”

Yuan Shao's subordinates, the three major masterminds, and the four major strategists, all have a prominent reputation.

Tian Feng was frustrated and Xu You, because of their status, these three people had a relatively detached status under Yuan Shao's account.

Xu You, that is Yuan Shao's old minister; Tian Feng was frustrated, and he was an important person who welcomed Yuan Shao into Jizhou. The factional struggle under Yuan Shao's account has been very obvious. But these three people. Do not belong to any faction...... In contrast, the four major strategists, that is, Xin Ping Guo Tu, are judged by discipline, and they belong to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang respectively. Xun Chen is the person that Er Yuan tried his best to woo. So it's quite embarrassing.

Now, Yuan Tan and Liu Chuang are a little distant, and they are slightly estranged from Xun Chen.

And Xun Chen himself is not very willing to get involved in right and wrong, and he is lukewarm to Yuan Shang's wooing.

In the short term, Xun Chen can continue to remain neutral in this way; But if it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid his position will become more and more embarrassing.

Xun Chen is also thinking about how to get out of this predicament.

Listen to Zheng Xuan say this. It dawned on him......

Yes, I want to assist my son-in-law, in that case, why should I be caught between you and Yuan?

It's okay to stay in Qingzhou. Or stay in Yecheng, it's not what I want.

Simply, I'll go to Bohai County...... On the one hand, it is possible to stay away from the circle of right and wrong, and on the other hand. It can also help Meng Yan to explore the situation in Youzhou.

Come to think of it. Xun Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"The boss is really clever, if I ask Yuan Gong to go to Bohai, Yuan Gong will not refuse."

Speaking of this, Xun Chen suddenly remembered something, "Boss, I heard that you will be presiding over the papermaking and compilation of books next year, have you been prepared?" ”

Xun Chen smiled: "How can it be so simple......

Now Meng Yan has collected more than 130,000 books from the people, but it may be a long process to go through classification.

Wenju is already doing this now, but there is still a clear shortage of manpower. I have sent out letters to invite students who used to study with me to come and help. At the same time, I also sent someone to Luhun Mountain, wanting to invite Kong Ming out of the mountain...... In short, a qiē is still preparing. ”

"What the boss said about Kong Ming, could it be Hu Kong Minghu?"

"That's the man!"

Xun Chen thought about it, then nodded and said, "If he is willing to go out of the mountain, it will be a big help." ”

Zheng Xuan said that Hu Kongming, named Hu Zhao, is a Yingchuan Yingyin clan, and Xun Chen is the same township.

This person read the history of the scriptures at an early age and was very knowledgeable, especially proficient in classical history, and worked in calligraphy. In the year of the weak crown, he was praised by the world for his talent. In the first year of Chuping, Yuan Shao visited many times and wanted to invite Hu Zhao out of the mountain. But Hu Zhao himself was disgusted with the sinister career, so he insisted on resigning. Later, Cao Cao welcomed the Han Emperor to move the capital to Xuchang, and also sent people to invite Hu Zhao out of the mountain. In desperation, Hu Zhao had to meet Cao Cao in person, expressing his reluctance to join the office, and asking Cao Cao to understand. In desperation, Cao Cao had no choice but to let Hu Zhao leave, and sighed: Everyone has their own ambitions, and their origins are interesting.

After Hu Zhao returned home, in order to avoid this kind of call, he moved to Luhun Mountain and recruited disciples in Wolong Valley of Luhun Mountain.

This Hu Zhao's age is one year younger than Zhi Xun Yu.

Xun Chen also knew him very well, and when he heard that Zheng Xuan invited Hu Zhao to come, he naturally raised his hands in agreement.

"Since the boss invited Hu Zhao, I also want to recommend someone for the boss...... Speaking of which, this person also studied beside the boss, named Cui Jun, the word Zhouping, I wonder if the boss has an impression? ”

"Cui Zhouping?"

Zheng Xuan thought for a while, and suddenly said, "But Anping Cui Zhouping? Cui Weikao's son, once said in front of Cui Weikao, did he have a 'copper smell' Cui Jun? ”

"That's the man."

Cui Weikao, named Cui Lie, was a former official and a captain.

Zheng Xuan's incident is also an allusion: when Emperor Ling, Cui Lie bought an official, and after Cui Jun learned about it, in front of Cui Lie, he said that he had a 'copper smell', and Cui Lie was so angry that he jumped like thunder.

"If that's the person, it's suitable."

When Xun Chen heard this, he bowed down and said, "Since this is the case, I will send someone to invite him."

I heard that he was going to Jingzhou in some time. Hehe, I think that instead of traveling to Jingzhou, it is better to let him help a group of adults. This is also Cui Weikao, some time ago, he sent someone to ask me. You know, Wei Kao is a man who loves to be famous. ”

When Zheng Xuan heard this, he immediately smiled......

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

It was snowy, and there were no people for hundreds of miles.

The convoy walked slowly along Weishui, and Tian Feng was sitting in the car, flipping through a dossier.

Suddenly, the curtain of the car was raised, and Yuan Shang came in from outside, "Mr. Tian, I shot two hares just now, and I can sacrifice my teeth tonight." ”

Tian Feng heard this and raised his head.

Looking at Yuan Shang's happy face, he couldn't help but say: "Third son, this is not Jizhou, let's walk alone in Beihai, we need to be more careful, how can we leave the team for the sake of appetite?" Wouldn't it be troublesome if you encounter a bad guy? ”

Yuan Shang was originally full of interest, but he didn't expect Tian Feng to come up and reprimand.

I was suddenly a little dissatisfied in my heart, but I didn't dare to show this dissatisfaction on my face, and I had to make a teachable appearance, and said softly: "Mr. Tian, Xianfu knows that he is wrong. ”

It's a tedious journey, so what's wrong with me hunting some game?

Besides, nearly 1,000 people and horses are traveling in the North Sea, is it possible that there are still people who dare to come to die?

This Mr. Tian is really old-fashioned, no wonder his father doesn't like him, and with him, he is almost suffocated.

"Xianfu, what can you see all the way down?"

Yuan Shang thought for a while, "The Beihai Kingdom is depressed, and it doesn't seem to be prosperous.

When I was in Duchang, I heard Liu Zihe say that now that the war has stopped, bandits are rampant. Although Liu Mengyan has ordered people to start suppressing bandits, I am afraid that the problem will not be solved in the short term. In my opinion, there seems to be nothing surprising about the Beihai Kingdom, far from being as good as others say. ”

"What else?"

"Also, Liu Chuang seems to be quite jealous of his eldest brother, and he refuses to move to the county of Suoxi, but stays in Gaomi."

When Tian Feng heard this, his white eyebrows frowned.

He looked down at the file in his hand, but his heart was not stopping.

Since entering the North Sea, what I have seen is quite ordinary.

Perhaps because of the season, Tian Feng did not see the scene of Daxing Tuntian, nor did he find the legendary Shu millet sorghum.

A qiē, all seem very normal.

But it was this kind of normality that made Tian Feng feel a little weird.

"Xianfu ......"

"Ah, Mr. Tian, I suddenly remembered something, so I took my leave.

According to the current route, you can reach Gaomi at noon tomorrow at the latest...... But we're going to stay in the wilderness tonight, and I'll have them go and see where we can camp. ”

After Yuan Shang finished speaking, he ran away.

Tian Feng looked at his back, his white eyebrows moved, and he wanted to call Yuan Shang, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back and let out a long sigh. (To be continued)
