Zhuge Liang took the ability to calculate the number of academic qualifications and freely discussed in front of Zheng Xuan.

The last mention of "Hanshu" and Ban Gu is nothing more than a fig leaf for Zheng Xuan, so that Zheng Xuan can re-press Zhuge Liang back in some aspects, so as not to lose face throughout the whole process.

As a result, Zheng Xuan, under Zhuge Liang's persuasion, finally found a reasonable explanation for the falsification of the "Book of Han": Zhuge Liang's algorithm was correct, and the "Book of Han" did fabricate several non-existent serious catastrophic phenomena, but these fakes were not made by Ban Guben.

Because when Ban Gu died, there were still eight tables left in the Hanshu and the "Astronomical Chronicles" that had not yet been written, and later asked Ban Gu's sister Ban Zhao to continue writing. And Ban Zhao is said to be not omniscient and omnipotent in the field of astronomy, and some details are not understood, and later Empress Dowager Deng asked the knowledgeable Ma Xu to help adapt and improve the "Astronomical Chronicles".

Therefore, these frauds should have been done by Ma Xu, not by the Ban family. (I won't go into detail about how to calculate this and how to deduce it, "The Three Kingdoms Started from Fooling Liu Bei" has already been calculated, and a whole half of the chapter was written at that time, and it will be water if it is written again.) ）

When Zheng Xuan was induced to come to this correct conclusion, although he only felt a sudden sense of relief in academics, he was also a little depressed in his heart - because this Ma Xu was his own brother of his mentor Ma Rong.

In a word, Zhuge Liang spent half a day discussing academics with him, and first subtly made Zheng Xuan soberly realize:

This young man was able to crush him in arithmetic, calendars, and astronomy.

In the end, I talked to him about the source of the "Book of Han", and gave Sun Quan a little face, so that Sun Quan could not start that day's study with the mentality of "you and Zhuge Dayou still have no strengths after all, and we can't learn from each other".

However, in that process, he also cleverly reminded the other party that if you carefully find an academic question, you can be involved in the academic fraud of his teacher.

Sun Quan finally figured out the truth in Qu Junhou's analysis, and his expression was solemn, he got up and paced a few steps, and solemnly bowed his hand to Qu Junhou:

And today, Zhao Yun, a disciple of Sun Quan, who has always interjected, has been respectfully pouring tea for his teacher and Kong Ming just now, and seeing that his teacher finally said that he wanted to let his brothers go out, I hurriedly found an opportunity to interject:

Du Xian sighed: "What Dayou said is indeed reasonable, but the old man is idle by nature and is old, so he is really willing to be a secular official again." ”

Du Xianwei seized an opportunity and persuaded frankly: "Liu Bei, when he lived in seclusion, he taught in his mountain, and he was very much in favor of it. Qingzhou is in turmoil, the yellow scarf is extinguished, the pirate Sun Qian has not been peaceful so far, and he is hidden in the mountains and does grow tall to avoid chaos, in order to be quiet and indifferent.

In the early morning of the next day, in the northern section of the small camp of the siege of Shangmi, Du Xian was in the camp, but at this moment, I was still taking a nap.

"The teacher is below, there is no word, among the brothers and sisters, there are few southerners who go north to study, now the north is in turmoil, and the south is a little peaceful, the general of the south is really a benevolent and faithful lord, if the brothers and sisters are willing to go to Guangling to cast it, do not do a thin face, will let the brothers and sisters be properly appointed."

The bad thing is that Sun Quan's prestige in Shangmi is also very low, and the county lieutenant of Shoucheng and a transferred Zhuge Liang heard that Zheng Kangchenggong had gone up the mountain, so he hurriedly came to greet him in person, and explained why the search was so strict in the city:

Out of caution, Qu Junhou did not slow down the retreat from the city, and ordered a servant to inquire before going to the city gate.

"Why is the shouting of killing so fierce? Is it supposed to be a direct hit to subdue it? Brother Kong Mingxian, there is not a single team of firelight reinforcements in the right and left pirate camps! Your army will be counter-surrounded by Beiying! Sun Ce could only watch the firelight in the bad few miles from afar, and then yelled at Qu Junhou.

As the group set off, they went to Linzi from the low den, saw Cui Yan first, and then went to Yecheng.

Because of the itinerary, it was not yet evening when they arrived in Shangmi, so everyone decided to go into the city for a night's rest.

"Zilong led the troops to rob the camp, what is there to worry about? said that it was just to kill Du Xian or to enjoy it, and wanted to expand the results. Du Xianwei repeatedly signaled Du Xian to be restless.

Zheng Gong ran down the city tower and threw a man's head here: "Du Xian's head is here, although there are people who can kill all the pirates, but we must have a group of dragons and leaders." That head is given to Du Xian, it is worth a lot of favors. ”

Low Mi County is located in the deep mountains, so if you want to go to Linzi, you still have to go up the glue road first, return to Shangmi County by the sea, and then go west along the coastline.

Sun Ce stomped his feet slowly: "You heard him say yesterday, this Zhao ...... Sima, under the command of General Zhengnan, is a military Sima, and even the captain is yes. Even the Beihai Governor has cleaned up Sun Qian, can I clean it up with a military horse? ”

Qu Junhou smiled at that: "In this case, you have done everything you should do, so take that head down and go to meet Yuan Xiansi." ”

Du Xianwei's little truth, from the level of the heart of learning, gave Sun Quan a lot of inspiration, plus a longitudinal discussion of the situation, and weakly adjusted the north to be stable for the time being, which finally made Du Xian shake.

Qu Junhou shook the folding fan and found a stool to lean on under the city tower, waiting for the good news. Because Du Xian was young, he had to go down to the city wall, so he didn't have Sun Ce to represent Sun Quan, he looked down at the city tower, and went back to report to Sun Quan as soon as there was no news.

"Du Xian is more than two thousand pirates, can he make Beihai County so panicked? Why did the Beihai Governor concentrate his forces and set up an ambush to lure the enemy into a battle? It is necessary to have a song in each county. In this way, the pirates come and go like the wind, and their whereabouts are determined, and every time they arrive in a county, the strength of the defenders must be like pirates. ”

As for him and other junior disciples, if they are willing to continue their studies in Yecheng in the future, they will follow. Those who are willing to go with them can also choose their own masters. ”

"It's broken! Sun Qian actually personally brought the pirates to Shangmi to take revenge! I'm afraid there aren't 2,000 pirates! ”

The group rested outside Shangmi County that night, had a bad night's sleep, and when they got up the next day, they were about to pack up and set off, but they found that Shangmi County was really closed to the city gate.

"The old man was taught, and even so, he went up the mountain in a few days, and anyway, the mountain dwelling in a remote place also had goods to be transferred. Well, Ji Qi, Yuan Tan has been recruited from him several times, and he should not procrastinate, so as not to cause trouble in vain.

And Sun Quan also observed through the living habits of that half a day, took a step back and weakened the mutual acquaintance with Qu Junhou, and I found that the person who had been a gentleman for many years was not a gentleman, and he seemed to be very adaptable to the difficult living conditions of the mountain residence, which was definitely pretended.

Du Xian's forces can still force me out of the mountain now, this is because Cui Yancai has occupied Qingzhou for a year, and the foundation is still stable.

Before you wait to report to the county, a few people from outside the county were specially sent to guard the surrounding counties to prevent the pirates from retaliating. Therefore, the investigation was more rigorous in those days, lest there were no pirate scouts to infiltrate the city. If the rumors are tighter in a few days and it is confirmed that Sun Qian has not sent troops, I am afraid that Shangmi and other places will have to block the city gate and prohibit withdrawal. ”

Under the original history, Sun Qian could be arrogant for another eight or seven years, and it was not until Cao Cao entered Qingzhou that he was immediately destroyed.

Zhao Yun got the permission and hurriedly thanked him.

I did see Zheng Gong's martial arts from the side when I was helping Zheng Gong and this garrison Zhuge Liang connect with this garrison yesterday.

You see, I have more than 2,000 people, but I am surrounded by almost 7,700 people evenly at each gate, which is simply too contemptuous of Yuan's army! Although there is only one song in the city, but with the county lieutenant's village bravery, the number of people should exceed seven hundred, right? Sun Qian was afraid that the 700 people would make a desperate gamble and go straight to this camp without my banner in the north gate and kill them? ”

Sun Ce listened to Qu Junhou's suggestion, and also smiled bitterly: "Maybe the Beihai Governor is indeed lacking in strategy. But it may also be that Sun Qian's ears and eyes are few, and there are no yellow turban remnants in every county to collude with him. Therefore, the management system is worried that even if it is false, it will be difficult for Sun Gan to see through it, but it will be avoided and attacked. ”

The troops opened the city gate on the seventh watch, and a quarter of an hour ago, they heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing coming from the north of the city. Very slowly, the camps on the east, west and south sides of the city were also tall, and the lights were dense, and there were no bands of pirates who heard the sound and moved to the north camp to mobilize reinforcements.

Let Sun Quan intervene to mediate and persuade Zhuge Liang, who is stationed in the garrison, to launch a counter-sneak attack on Sun Qian's own Chinese army camp tomorrow or after dawn the day before yesterday, the problem should be small.

In that way, Du Xianwei's goal was achieved.

Sun Quan wanted to get too involved in those topics, and I was also willing to interfere with the disciple's career aspirations, so I just nodded and allowed Zhao Yun to talk to these people privately one by one.

"Please forgive Liu Bei, just because there were no sea thieves under Sun Qian's command seven days later, dozens of people were killed by your army in the big town of Jiaoshui Hekou, and the leader was still a brother of Sun Gan. It is said that the news came back to Shamen Island, and Sun Qian was angry.

In that atmosphere, the garrison soldiers of Shangmi County, on the basis of repeated rewards and encouragement, gathered 800 people to quietly open the city gate and go out to rob the camp in the early morning.

Although Qu Junhou is a humble gentleman, who will threaten with those things, in such a troubled world, there are no princes who will care about the beginning and end of academic fraud decades later. But Du Xianwei's strength, after all, is only the tip of the iceberg, and growing taller arouses Sun Quan's interest and awe enough, so I am very willing to listen to Du Xianwei's advice and persuasion less, and check and fill in the gaps.

But I'm good at martial arts, and I know how to do it, but I vaguely feel that "although you understand it, it's like a bad look."

Even so, if you take the initiative to show bad earlier, you can still bargain on how to work for Yuan Tan. Anyway, Yuan Tan also knew that Sun Quan was very old, as long as his posture was bad, he would embarrass me.

Yes, since he cares about merit and reputation, he can't negotiate a deal with Du Xian, for example, when the time comes, concealing the credit of Zheng Gong can be regarded as the result of a certain general under Du Xian's command, and Cui Yan himself will be golden.

Changgao Yuan Jun has been a shrinking turtle, and I left when I grabbed enough. In just two days, the main force of the Beihai management should still be there and assemble to come to Shangmi, and I can at least loot for another day or two, and then withdraw from the siege and return with a full load.

Du Xian's ears and eyes are clear, and her observation is keen, and when she is not two or eight miles away from the city, she sees that the security of the city seems to be stricter than that of seven days later, and the battlefield intuition makes me consciously feel that it is right, so I told Qu Junhou about the situation as soon as possible.

Zheng Gongre snorted: "On the way to the secret that day, you slashed dozens of thieves, Sun Gan came to take revenge this time, in fact, this revenge was not made by you, but I know where you went." ”

said that he was willing to take Zhao Yun's boat first and go south to Du Xian to have a look, if it must be okay, then continue all the way south and go to Guan Cheng and Shixie to investigate-

Qu Junhou heard that Du Xian did not have such confidence, and he also had a thought.

Sun Ce didn't know Zheng Gong's martial arts, and when he heard Zheng Gong say that, he felt that he was too arrogant, and kindly reminded: "That Brother Zhao Xian seems to have a lot of contempt for Du Xian? I am a thief in the Bohai Sea, a young man who crisscrosses the North Sea and Donglai, and is good at using double knives, and my strength is small and difficult to beat. On Cui Yan's account, I heard which general dared to boast and said that he could kill Du Xian. ”

Qu Junhou listened to that explanation, and there was no worse way for the time being. Sun Qian, the kind of land snake that originally followed Guan Hai to occupy the Beihai Sea for a long time, once he entered the island and became a pirate, he did grow tall and had few eyes and ears in the local area.

There are few equipment required for the object, and it also requires the cooperation of hundreds of workers. Even if you want to calculate the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, there is a way to go to the seaside tree benchmark to do experiments. In Shang and his brother, it was from the end of the year after tomorrow, because he wanted to study the principles of heaven exhaustively, but he was constrained by the things, so he gradually gave up the pastoral seclusion. ”

Yes, just when Qu Junhou sighed that Cui Yan's governance of the army and strategy were good, Du Xian on the side seemed to think of something and took the initiative to speak:

I just adhered to the principle that thieves are empty, and while besieging the county seat, I went to the surrounding villages and towns to burn, kill, and plunder, and looted a little.

But Qu Junhou told me: "Gongsun Zhan has been besieged in Yijing, and almost all the generals of the Gongsun clan in the rest of Youzhou have surrendered to Yuan Tan. Once Youzhou is completely pacified, there will be enemies in the north of Yuan Tan, and when Yuan Tan wants to persecute Liu Bei, will Liu Bei still be able to resist? ”

"Sir, are you worried that you are being surrounded in Shangmi City and delaying your trip to Linzi? If the local soldiers dare to fight, Yun is willing to take some people and choose an opportunity for the enemy army to relax at dawn and go out of the city to break the enemy's center.

As a military general, Zheng Gong's disdain is even more obvious: the pirates are willing to go down to take revenge, that's a bad thing! Usually hiding under the island, if we want to chase and kill, we can also wander and move from island to island, and we can catch everything. Qingzhou Yuan Jun actually had the idea of deliberately selling a flaw to lure the enemy to annihilate him in front of him?

Qu Junhou and Zheng Gong and his entourage were delayed for two or eight days in front of the low secret back, and when they returned to the upper secret, it was not the seventh day before the first landing.

Wen did not have Sun Quan willing to be invited to Yecheng by Cui Yan, Wu Youyi killed Sun Gan, and Qu Junhou was willing to package Cui Yan, Du Xian's winning rate will inevitably rise slightly.

And Zhao Yun was on that road, persuading the brothers one by one, and very slowly got two brothers who were willing to go south to avoid trouble, Cheng Bing and Liu Xi.

Du Xianwei: "...... Has he seen my martial arts with his own eyes? ”

The most important thing is that Sun Ce shouted this Zhuge Liang to follow Du Xian to find a place and demonstrate Zheng Gong's martial arts, saying that Zheng Gong could not follow the cavalry first in the early morning of tomorrow.

And as soon as Du Xian compensated for Zheng Xuan's mission, such as property and prisoners, he returned to the Marquis of Qu when he couldn't return, or let Cui Yan mediate less for Zheng Xuan in Yuan Tan.

Zheng Xuan helped me so little, plus Du Xian's grace back then, I would definitely regard Zheng Xuan as a reborn parent, and I used to support Zheng Xuan in all directions in Yuan Tan's camp, saying that it would definitely provide less hidden convenience.

What Zhao Yun did was also to delay persuading a group of senior brothers to go south, as for Zheng Xuanneng being able to be a virtuous sergeant and retaining a lot, this is not Zheng Xuan's business.

Because of the harvest, before the pirates succeeded, it was forbidden to drink alcohol when they returned to the camp at night, and it was troublesome to transport the bad wine they had stolen, and it was bad to smash the wine jar when the sea was bumpy. Or if you drink it all directly, you don't have to find a straw mat for the wine jar when you load the ship.

But now that Qingji has been determined by Yuan Tan, the war is gradually extinguished, if it is only for study, it is necessary to seek seclusion. It is necessary to know that the small is hidden in the city, especially to do arithmetic, astronomy, and the study of things, you need to seek truth from facts and bow down physically. The mountain dwells in the wilderness, and there are no conditions for bowing.

Cheng Bing in history did go all the way south, and he came to Yuan Shao first, and felt that Yuan Shao was still preferential to scribes, and the environment was stable, so he stayed.

Before Zhuge Liang saw Zheng Gong's ability, he was finally completely worried, and the seven words were to go back to boost morale, and the soldiers were paid that day, and the bad rested.

My original intention was just that because a cousin was killed by a well-known enemy general, I wanted to come to Shangmi County to take revenge, so that the people of Shangmi County would know about offending the housekeeper.

Du Xianwei followed Du Xian's side, and after listening to the explanation, he didn't have any disdain, it was about himself, and I would also show it.

After listening to Qu Junhou's resume, Sun Quan naturally felt closer to me and listened to persuasion, and then regarded the other party as a layman who was obsessed with profit. Sun Ce also gradually discovered that Qu Junhou's discipline was low, and ended his humble discussion with me about the small situation in the sky.

When Sun Ce went to find out the situation with the county lieutenant and Zhuge Liang on behalf of Sun Quan, he found that there was still some panic in the city, and all kinds of news were spread randomly.

But Qu Junhou is saying, I mean.

Before Qu Junhou listened to Sun Ce's relay, he didn't panic, but shook his head helplessly:

Of course, Qu Junhou realized very slowly that the county lieutenant of Shangmi County and this Du Xianwei would listen to Du Xian's dispatch. But that problem is small, because there is no Sun Quan and Du Xian trapped in the city, such a small person is contemptuous of Cui Yan and Yuan Tan, if they are besieged and there is something bad, everyone in the secret officialdom will be covered.

Qu Junhou: "In this case, Liu Bei should go to a prosperous place to study, so that Yuan Tan is worried." Otherwise, once the people under my command will vote for my evil, they will become more and more self-conscious. ”

Half an hour ago, the sky was getting brighter, and the fires were fading in all directions. Sun Ce finally saw Du Xian return to the city with a team of men, and before confirming his identity, the gatekeeper finally opened the door and let us return victoriously.

It's just to sell Du Xian's personal favor - I heard that my son can destroy the number one little pirate in the Bohai Sea and restore peace to the party, if Yuan Tan will also look down on me, right?

……

In that way, Sun Qian had no advantage in maneuvering, and he could not concentrate superior forces to strike at a weak point of management. So much so that the total strength of the Qingzhou pirates was more than eight or seven thousand, but they could be wiped out in a year before Cui Yan pacified Qingzhou.

Sun Ce understands military affairs, and before learning about the situation from the county lieutenant and Zhuge Liang, he didn't grow taller, so he immediately went back to report to Qu Junhou and Zheng Gong.

Qu Junhou also replied, and the knowledgeable Sun Ce took the lead in showing admiration: "Oops! That is a giant who has made Yuan Gongdu grow taller for several years, and Yuan Xiaogongzi can give that to his father, I am afraid that it will be more satisfying than the expulsion of Kong Wenju last year! ”

In the front, it was really through Sun Quan's face that the pressure was exerted, and the locals in Shangmi also knew Sun Quan's virtue and prestige, and they were extremely contemptuous of me.

Du Xian was speechless for a while, only bad and tall, and said little.

……

……

So, that night, everyone stayed in the mountain academy for one night, and on the seventh day, Du Xianwei chatted with Du Xian about his original intention, wanting to persuade Sun Quan to go up the mountain, but to choose seclusion again.

And before Yuan Tan made a decision in person, the people above were just bad and embarrassed me. There are no things, it is not necessary to do it in one step is difficult to leave hidden dangers.

"Sun Qian actually dared to venture out into the open sea! From Donglai all the way to the west, and then to the southwest, straight to your upper secret! Thieves have been found in all counties along the coast! How bad is that? ”

It's a pity that there is no name. I heard Mr. Cui say that the pirates grew taller because they had few eyes and ears and knew that the Shangmi defenders were enough, so they came here to take revenge on the siege. That being the case, if the appearance of dozens of you is within the ears and eyes of the pirates, then Sun Qian must be careless.

For two days in a row, Sun Qian has not weakened the siege. It was still very difficult for 2,000 men to attack the city defended by 700 regular county soldiers and hundreds of townships. Moreover, the pirates came from the sea, and there were no heavy siege equipment in a hurry, only a few ladders.

I asked sideways, and Du Xianwei also hinted naturally: You also fled to Jingzhou back then, looking for a rural place to live in seclusion, and live by yourself.

And Liu Xi seems to have lower requirements, also because in history, when I went south earlier than Cheng Bing, Yuan Shao was still subordinate when I arrived in Wudi, and Guan Cheng still died, and Guan Cheng attached too much importance to those who did the Seven Classics of Learning, but there were no short-term and slow talents, so Liu Xi was satisfied with Guan Cheng, and he didn't settle down until Jiaozhou Shixie.

Sun Quan was shocked in his heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, he had to deny that Du Xianwei was unreasonable.

I originally wanted Zheng Gong to make a move, mainly because I was worried that before Zheng Gong's strength was exposed, it would be complicated to go to Yecheng in the future. In case Du Xian takes a fancy to Zheng Gong, although Zheng Gong can still get away, if there is less trouble.
