Chapter 18 Loyalty and filial piety are not complete, and the righteous rush to the benevolent lord
Originally, Kong Rong didn't believe it.
There are more than 2 million registered people in Qingzhou, of which 1 million people have become yellow scarves.
But now, Kong Rong hesitated.
With Kong Rong's understanding of Zheng Ping's character and intelligence, Zheng Ping is not a sensational.
Not only does he have a far more perceptive sensitivity to current affairs, but he can also propose solutions to contradictions, and he will also put them into action.
Although he satirized Beihai County's overload of culture and lack of martial energy, Zheng Ping told Kong Rong how to solve the crisis that Beihai County was about to face.
The reputation of Donglai Ming Shi Ci has long been heard of by Kong Rong.
Kong Rong originally intended to recruit Tai Shi Ci, and he was very sorry to learn that Tai Shi Ci went to Liaodong to avoid trouble.
But Zheng Ping said that Tai Shici will definitely return from Liaodong this year!
Tai Shi Ci was Zhongping who offended the state family in four years and avoided Liaodong, and Zheng Ping was Zhongping's three-year trip to Zhuzhou County.
Doesn't this mean that Zheng Ping anticipated the Yellow Turban disaster in Qingzhou in the fourth year of Zhongping, so he swore an oath with Tai Shici?
Thinking of Zheng Ping's intention to nominate Liu Bei as the assassin of Qingzhou, Kong Rong was even more suspicious.
Just met Liu Bei by chance in Gaotang County, and dared to assert that Liu Bei could save Qingzhou when he was the assassin of Qingzhou.
If this was not for the Yellow Turban disaster in Qingzhou that was predicted in advance, how could he dare to make a name for Liu Bei so arbitrarily?
Even, the purpose of coming to the county to give a dowry is to use Kong Rong's people in the officialdom to replace the Qingzhou Thorn History!
And now, Zheng Ping just got Liu Bei's letter and was going to go to Xi County, but he refused to stay in Xi County for one more night.
All kinds of unusual words and deeds, as well as the impact of this year's rainless celestial weather on the autumn harvest, forced Kong Rong to re-examine Zheng Ping's assertion about the disaster of millions of yellow turbans in Qingzhou.
Zheng Ping said solemnly: "The little nephew's assertion of the million yellow scarves in Qingzhou is too shocking, and few people in this world will believe it, after all, this is something that has not happened yet." ”
"However, the sages have long admonished them to accumulate grain to prevent hunger and take precautions, and gentlemen should think about trouble and prevent it."
"The yellow scarves in Qingzhou, from the history of assassination to the county order, most of them think that it is just a minor trouble, and they think that they are no different from ordinary thieves and bandits."
"As long as the counties strengthen their armaments, they can easily requisition, and even many officials will choose to collude with the Yellow Turban bandits to make profits."
"Zong Duwei has been fighting for the Yellow Turban for a long time, but the Yellow Turban thieves in Beihai County are becoming more and more rampant, and my uncle has to reflect on it!"
"Beihai County is governed by an uncle, how can the rest of the states and counties be optimistic?"
In the last sentence, Zheng Ping was slightly flattering.
But the art of speaking is to see people and talk about people, and to talk nonsense when they see ghosts, and to achieve the goal as the benchmark.
Rigid and easy to break, soft and long-lasting.
Proper touting will make the intention easier to achieve.
Kong Rong sighed: "This Xiang is determined to be diligent and difficult, but now even the Yellow Turban Thieves in Beihai County cannot be pacified, but it makes the Yellow Turban Thieves more and more rampant, ashamed!" ”
"The advice of the virtuous nephew will be seriously considered."
Zheng Yi's eyes were a little more worried: "Xianmou, how many soldiers are you going to take with you?" ”
"There are only 200 soldiers in the county, which is still too few."
"Why don't you go back to Gaomi and transfer two hundred soldiers?"
In the first year of Zhongping, Zhang Jiao gathered a crowd to rebel, and the imperial court summoned all counties to recruit volunteers to resist the Yellow Turban thieves.
Zheng Ping took the opportunity to gather 500 disciples to practice into an army to protect the Zheng family and villagers.
Since then, these 500 guests have become the Zheng family's standing soldiers.
It has long been common for the Haoqiang clan to gather soldiers to protect themselves, and the Zheng family is not the only one.
Even the state, county, and county officials are turning a blind eye to this.
You can gather soldiers, but you can't hide crossbows.
Zheng Ping shook his head: "There is no need to transfer family soldiers, I will only transfer ten scouts out of these two hundred people." ”
"These ten people are all cavalrymen, and they are battlefield veterans, even if they double the way, they can fight when they encounter thieves."
"It's just that I transferred these ten scouts, and my brother should be cautious when he returns to Gaomi. If you encounter a thief, you will order to form a four-armed battle, and the thief will naturally retreat if he can't get a bargain. ”
After all, Zheng Yi is not proficient in marching and fighting, and the battlefield improvisation is too demanding for Zheng Yi.
The formation that is good at defense with the four martial arts is enough for Zheng Yi to return to Gaomi safely.
The Yellow Turban Thieves are not a group of people who are well versed in the art of war, so they don't need to let Zheng Yi go to the pinnacle game.
"With only ten people, wouldn't it be too much?" Zheng Yi was taken aback.
Zheng Ping chuckled: "When I traveled alone in Zhuzhou County, I was able to escape when I encountered thieves. ”
"Now that there are ten well-trained scouts, what can a mere thief do to me?"
"Brother, don't worry!"
"It's just that the Wang County Order, Brother Lao told me that the borrowed strong bow and crossbow cannot be returned for the time being."
Zheng Yi was a little depressed, it was all this time, and there was still idle jokes.
Zheng Yi was about to persuade again, but was interrupted by Zheng Ping.
"Brother!" Zheng Ping bowed solemnly to Zheng Yichang: "The saint has clouds, his parents are here, he will not travel far, and he must have a way to travel." ”
"My father is old, my mother is frail and sick, and I should have stayed at home to do my filial piety."
"However, the world is impermanent, unpredictable, and the strife in the world does not know when it will end."
"Although I am not talented, I am willing to use my life's strength to go against this providence and level the world!"
"Even if it is difficult to walk, we will forge ahead!"
"In this way, it is not in vain to walk between heaven and earth."
"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma, and in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill my filial piety in front of my parents."
"The only thing to do to support my parents is to entrust it to my brother!"
Zheng Yi was awe-inspiring.
Although there are many thoughts, the words of exhortation are unspeakable.
After a long time, Zheng Yi sighed and promised: "With me at home, don't worry!" ”
Kong Rong was infected by Zheng Ping's ambition, got up and came to Zheng Ping's banquet, and poured Zheng Ping a bottle of wine.
"Great!" Kong Rong raised his bottle and saluted: "Today's wine banquet was originally for the two virtuous nephews to wash the dust, but I never thought that it would become a practical banquet for the virtuous nephews. ”
"I'm sorry!"
"A thousand words, all in wine."
"Xianmou virtuous nephew, please drink together!"
Zheng Ping raised the bottle and replied: "Uncle's intention, the little nephew is already clear!" ”
"When the little nephew helps Liu Bei gain a foothold, he will definitely set up a banquet to compensate for his uncle's regrets today!"
Outside the city of drama.
The Zheng family scout team rode ten horses and rode horses on standby.
Kong Rong and Zheng Yi said goodbye to Zheng Ping at the city gate.
Just as Zheng Ping was about to leave, Kong Su, who got the news, came in a hurry.
"Zheng Jun is slow!"
Kong Su was a little panting, and his little face was flushed, obviously tired.
"Zheng Jun traveled far away, why didn't he know that he would meet Asu?"
"Ah Su admires Zheng Jun's ambition, and today he gives Zheng Jun a white jade sachet."
"The world is dangerous, may this white jade sachet bless Zheng Jun."
"Ah Su is waiting for Zheng Jun to return!"
Kong Su's petite body stood on the right side of the horse, holding a white jade sachet in his hand, and looking at Zheng Ping with a determined look.
Those ink-like eyes have admiration, worry, and sincerity.
"Haha!"
Zheng Ping tied the white jade sachet behind his elbow and laughed loudly.
"Why knock and knock? The sachet is tied behind the elbow. ”
"Asu, gentlemen, I'll talk about it in the future!"
With a bell ringing, Zheng Ping bowed his hand to everyone, and then rode away.
Kong Su looked at Zheng Ping who was leaving, repeating and muttering in his mouth.
"Why knock and knock? The sachet is tied behind the elbow. ”
"Why knock and knock? Sachet tied to the elbow ......"
