"The Cheqi Mansion is not open yet, it has been a day and a night."

"It's impossible to read it all, I heard that more than 3,000 letters have been delivered, and I don't know how to punish them."

"The ride will not be too ruthless, the so-called code is ruthless, it does not blame the public, and when too many people are involved, there will definitely be reservations."

"Elder Gao, you are wrong about this, this time it is necessary to punish those who fail to take responsibility, because the general of the chariot has not left his post without permission, he is the most self-disciplined person."

Some people are not from the scholar clan, and this plan does not affect his etiquette much, and even the family can reduce the worry of cultivating the land, and he will not worry about food and clothing as a hermit in the future.

So even though it's lively, it's also a little laid-back.

Among them, among the people standing in the outer circle, there were people who knew Pang Tong, and immediately whispered and talked, "Shiyuan, you are also here?" ”

After finishing speaking, he took a step sideways, and stayed away from him after saying hello, for fear of being stained by the smell of alcohol, this Pang Shiyuan was obviously a hangover and just woke up, and he didn't even bother to finish washing, so he came with a wine gourd, and there was a compound strange smell on his body.

"Eh, come and see, see."

Pang Tong is not tall, his complexion is slightly dark, if he is ugly, he is not actually ugly, but he is a little sloppy, and his beard is not easy to take care of, which is a little complicated.

Because he didn't wash after drinking, his teeth were yellow and messy, and his eyes were dull, so he nodded casually at this time, stretched out his hand and pinched his beard on his chin, and continued to meditate after a little reply.

He was indeed waiting, how Xu Zhen would rectify the Jingzhou scholars, just three days was not much, and according to the wind evaluation, with his ability, he could do it without sleep for a few days, and his spirit was still full.

It is regarded as a legend, but Pang Tong has never believed that there is such a person in the world, and it may be the news that Xu Bowen deliberately released, and he is willing to believe it only when he sees it with his own eyes.

It's important to see such a big thing in person.

Pang Tong is indeed a Pang Chinese, but he is really a hermit, in Jingzhou, in addition to learning from others, since childhood, but also under the water mirror Mr. Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, Gao Shuang and others, the older generation of celebrities are known for their talents, from enthusiastic preaching to solve doubts, to later respect and seek advice.

Pang Tong was passed on as a phoenix chick, and Jiangdong once crossed the river to secretly invite me many times, but he failed to do so.

Even several envoys were about to become friends with Pang Tong, and they didn't move, and as soon as Liu Biao died in Jingzhou, Pang Tong also had the intention to follow Liu Bei, so that he could stabilize his foothold in Jingzhou, and then unite Jiangdong to resist the Cao army and resist the Cao forces.

Then enter Shu again, attack the weak Liu Zhang, so that many amazing and brilliant celebrities in Shu can strengthen themselves.

Within five years, he can quickly rise to the rank of a great prince, stabilize the situation in Shu, and unite with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so that the strength and strength are enough to compete with Cao Cao.

That's where you really have the power to give it a go.

Pang Tong was full of excitement, and he waited for this battle with new blood, and then waited until now.

It's weird.

It stands to reason that Uncle Liu Huang has no strategists under his command, and he should be eager to seek talent, why don't you come to me?

Mr. Shui Jing, Huang Lao and others, and even Xu Yuanzhi, should have seen him, and they must have spread their reputation.

Could it be that Uncle Liu Huang still doesn't know?

I know but don't come to look for me, isn't the name of Feng Xiao loud enough?

Now, it's just this chariot to ride, what the hell is he going to do, and what to do with these warriors.

Pang Tong was curious, because he couldn't guess.

Until noon, although I waited for a day and a night, the people waiting outside came and went, but there were not less, but more and more.

At this moment, he was looking forward to it, his eyes were burning, waiting for the door of the mansion to open wide.

There was a soft bang, the door shook suddenly, and then it was gradually opened, a guard came out from the inside, and then stood in the last two rows, accompanied by Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang leading a team of insiders, holding a huge amount of music and out, not far from the door, there were soldiers wearing strong and stubborn, holding delicate iron round shields lined up the crowd.

He pulled the carriage over, and in half a pillar of incense, he piled all these notes in the carriage.

Some of them were sent to the government office for the prime minister to see, and the other part was sent to the military camp in the direction of travel.

This scene stunned many people, and the meaning of sending them to the barracks was not simple, and it was possible that the army sent soldiers to arrest people in batches.

It can be described as thunderous and fast.

"Is it really that decisive?"

Pang Tong touched his chin, and immediately understood the meaning of the carriage in these two directions, on the one hand, to inform Prime Minister Cao, and those who went to the barracks must be to arrest people.

Xu Zhen's cavalry has arrived in Xiangyang, his soldiers and horses have always moved quickly, it is estimated that within this day, there will be results, and it is impossible for local officials to dare to resist.

And stationed and dispatched, quietly relieved the military power in various places, and it was not easy to resist.

"What a great arrangement."

Pang Tong nodded secretly, at this moment, everyone was whispering, and most of them dispersed, and those little guys were all here to inquire about the news.

At this time, when I saw the chariot mansion open, of course, I immediately had to inform my lord of the news.

Pang Tong was still standing in place, looking into the gate, and only then did he see two young Confucian students, one was Ma Liang's own natural acquaintance, and the other was walking in front of him with a high spirit, it should be Zhuge Liang.

The rest of the people hadn't seen it yet, and time gradually passed, and those who couldn't wait outside immediately went in to visit, wanting to find out more results, but they didn't expect to be expelled as soon as they entered.

Then Dian Wei personally carried a halberd, and stood directly in front of the gate after carrying it on his shoulder, glaring angrily, making people dare not meet his eyes and walk timidly.

Even the number of people who spoke was much less.

Pang Tong retreated a little with the crowd, but he hadn't left yet, and he was still looking outside.

After a while, Xu Zhen came out of the probe, glanced at the number of people outside, and then yawned, said a few words to Dian Weiduo, and prepared to rest for a while.

"Ride, go to sleep, and the results will basically be available in another day," Dian Wei said.

I've been tired for three days, almost sleepless, I'm afraid I've slept for an hour or two, these advisers are indeed hard, and they have to ensure that every order is extenuating and there is a law to follow.

More than 170 officials were punished, of whom 23 were to be dismissed.

Each of these decisions requires energy to look at the culpability of this time, as well as to remember what the character of these officials has been in the past.

"Awei, don't guard the door, don't see anyone, don't talk to anyone, the prime minister will never come to me, just wait for the result."

"Eh, don't worry."

Dian Wei nodded heavily.

Pang Tong saw this scene in his eyes, and after looking at Xu Zhen a few times, he looked slightly surprised.

This rider is too young.

Sure enough, seeing is believing, in the past, I just heard that he was not very old, and Pang Tong was only half-convinced, but I didn't expect that when I saw it this time, all the doubts that suddenly hung up dissipated in an instant, and I was convinced.

is too young, there must be extremely important priorities in the future, and this life will never end so peacefully.

Thinking of this, Pang Tong didn't wait, turned around and left, and a few shabby-dressed people who were standing together and chatting happily next to him screamed a few times in a little confusion.

"Shiyuan, this is leaving?"

"Wait a minute, isn't this excitement over yet?"

"The people sent out by the chariots haven't come back yet, and the people of the warrior clan haven't seen any of them."

"Well, let's go, let's go ahead and watch the fun."

Pang Tong grinned, revealing some leaky front teeth, and when he laughed, the wrinkles on his face squeezed his eyes completely, not the elegance of the Confucian scholars of the scholar clan, and the atmosphere of a farmer, as if he had just returned from working in the fields, talking and laughing.

Turning his head, Pang Tong had no smile on his face, and now he had to find a way to see Xu Zhen.

Otherwise, it may be too late.

The so-called governance of Jingzhou, from the perspective of the overall situation, should have come to an end, Xu Zhen will be expelled and left, so that Prime Minister Cao Cheng will accept the suppression of the current situation in Jingzhou.

Seize the moment and talk to him when you see him.

I'm afraid that now the scholars in Jingzhou are already going to treat Xu Zhen as a thorn in the flesh, and they can't wait to get rid of him immediately.

……

In the government office, Cao Cao was invited by Cai Mao to come out of the atrium to meet him, and he walked very slowly all the way.

The people who came to the hall to ask to see him were not only Cai Mao, but also Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong.

as well as Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Liu Ba, Liu Xian and others.

They are all very famous Confucian scholars in Jingzhou, and they can be called celebrities, when Cao Cao entered the main hall, he first probed in and saw that people were waiting with their heads bowed.

Then quietly, crept in.

Cai Mao had already discovered him, but he didn't dare to say hello first, so he could only bow his head more and more respectfully.

He didn't know why Cao Cao walked in with such a strange behavior, and his heart was at a loss for a while.

Now, Cao Cao's only reliance on him should be the sailor by the river, if someone can replace him, Cai Mao may be sent down immediately, so he is worried.

Also with a little confidence in anticipation.

"Why, so even? What's the matter, guys? You came to see me today!? ”

Cao Cao's eyes widened, he walked from the back to the front, gradually walked quickly, his hands were lined up behind him, he strode up the steps, and then sat down on the main seat.

Leaning forward slightly, he stared at Liu Cong majestically, "Young Master Liu Cong, why did you come to see me?" But have something important to discuss? ”

"Still, who upset you?"

What he said was indeed very gentle, but with his expression, it made Liu Cong a little frightened, his eyes trembled in fright, and he was slightly speechless, unable to speak at all.

"I, I ......"

Liu Cong looked left and right, looking at Cai Mao and his mother, all of them had a lot of expressions, their expressions were constant, they were all crazy about hinting at something, and Nu asked him to say it himself.

Liu Cong was in a hurry, and directly knelt on the ground with a thud, and then crawled down.

Cao Cao's eyebrows twitched, and he subconsciously leaned back, "Alas, what are you doing?" ”

"You don't need to make this big gift, if it was ten years ago, your status would not be worse than mine."

Liu Cong's gift caught Cai Mao and Mrs. Cai off guard, and they could have just said it.

I didn't expect Liu Cong to be so afraid in front of Cao Cao, as if he was a man-eating ghost.

But fortunately, he still stabilized his mentality and said a word, "I think, I want to ask the prime minister to transfer me to Qingzhou." ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

Cao Cao looked at Cai Mao strangely, "Brother Deju, what does this mean?" Why did you suddenly come to me today with this request? ”

"This, this, back to the prime minister," Cai Mao smiled all over his face, and arched his hand and said: "We all agree that to surrender to the Cao clan and the Son of Heaven, we should put all the power in your hands, rather than have reservations. ”

"The Liu family has been operating steadily in Jingzhou over the years, if you continue to be the state pastor here, I am afraid that there will be followers, it will inevitably cause a two-hearted situation, if you are transferred to Qingzhou, Jingzhou will be completely handed over to the prime minister to govern, so that you can wholeheartedly prepare for the conquest of Jiangdong."

"Oh, then you can't do this," Cao Cao clenched his fist, and his face suddenly looked embarrassed.

He even gasped heavily, and there was still a little anger contained in it, and he slammed his hand into a fist and slammed it.

The sound startled Liu Cong again, thinking that he had said the wrong thing, and he was trembling on the ground.

Mrs. Cai didn't dare to speak, so she could only look up at Cao Cao slightly, and found that he was also squinting at herself, and her heart was fluttering.

Dengshi also wanted to bow down.

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said: "Where do you act like this, where do you put me, the local people may think that I have neglected you." ”

"But in all fairness, since I came to Xiangyang, I have rewarded countless people and met your various requirements, but now I still have to transfer and leave, am I slow?"

"Dejue, you still advise them to think again."

"No, no, no!"

Cai Mao was taken aback, hurriedly stood up and waved her hand, and hurriedly explained: "Prime Minister, this is definitely not the intention!" It's my sister, who really dedicated Jingzhou for the prime minister, so that she can quickly settle down, and appoint talents in the future, and work together! ”

"Our Cai family, already the Kuai family, is naturally loyal to the prime minister, but there are millions of people in Jingzhou, and it is difficult to guarantee that there are no treacherous people to provoke, so it is better to completely hand over this place to the prime minister."

"This is faithfulness, not blaming the prime minister."

"I see."

Cao Cao squinted and sat still, still sighing, his gaze gradually became distant, and he said slowly: "I have acted all my life, never persecuted others, based on benevolence and righteousness, it is not easy to get this virtuous name, how can I bear to watch you two go on a long journey to Qingzhou." ”

"It's a long way to go, and it's dangerous and unpredictable along the way, so forget it."

Cao Cao refused this matter and smiled at Liu Cong, "You can stay in Jingzhou with peace of mind, and in the future, I will ask the Son of Heaven for an edict to let Liu Cong Yongzhen Jingxiang and be crowned as a duke." ”

"This is also, I fulfill my original promise to respect and respect your Liu clan."

Kuai Yue was immediately anxious, and stood up in a panic and handed it down, "Prime Minister, think twice, the people in the current territory are still difficult to forget the government of the Liu family, only by being transferred to Qingzhou, can they gradually become stronger, and in the future, they can strengthen the army and enrich the realm, so that they can be separated from Jiangdong and Jiangxia for a long time, and Liu Qi will not be allowed to take advantage of it, otherwise the old minister's mind will be shaken, and he may go to Jiangxia." ”

"Just ask the lord to agree!"

"Do you want me to give up my reputation just for the sake of Jiangxia? It's ridiculous, I'm not going to transfer. ”

Cao Cao still waved his hand, disappreciating, his face was solemn, and his sitting posture was dignified, "I can't agree!" Liu Cong's son clearly didn't want to go, but the situation forced him, how could he be strong! ”

"Prime Minister, we are willing to go, we are willing to go, this is the land of yearning for Qingzhou, and we are willing to govern."

Mrs. Cai was anxious, and finally spoke, "Prime Minister, our mother and son are willing to write a letter and submit it, and voluntarily ask for a transfer to Qingzhou." ”

Cao Cao's face was finally slightly moved, and he asked with concern: "So insisting?" So, how about you all write a statement again? How else would I know your determination? ”

Yes?!

Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others were stunned when they heard it, and now they suddenly understood that the prime minister meant this!

Not only do we have to completely cede Jingzhou, but now we must also ask him to accept it reluctantly!

It's too ...... to deceive people

"Okay, I'll write it now!" Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief and said immediately.

"It's the same down there!" Kuai Yue nodded, smiling.
