Liu Xie has now lost trust in Zhang Miao, and remembers Liu Bei's entrustment before leaving: "Cao Zhengdong's tiger and wolf disciples are not weaker than Dong Zhuo, if Your Majesty goes to Yingchuan, if you can control it, you will control it, and if you can't, you will endure it." ”

In the two months when Cao Cao pretended to be a loyal minister and rectified the rule of officials, Liu Xie felt that Liu Bei was a little alarmist.

No matter how you look at it, Cao Cao is cleaning up the country's moths.

However, Lu Bu's temptation directly made Cao Cao show his fox tail and began to stop pretending.

thought that Lu Bu would not betray himself after being an enemy with Cao Cao, but Lu Bu married his daughter to Cao Cao's son backhandedly, which made Liu Xie feel greatly humiliated!

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, except for a few imperial relatives, are all selfish and selfish.

At this time, Liu Xie began to understand why Liu Bei had to make a special trip to instruct him before leaving.

not only broke Cao Cao's ruthlessness with Dong Rebellion, but also told Liu Xie how to protect himself.

If you can make it, you will make it, and if you can't, you will endure it!

These eight words are the only credible response strategy for Liu Xie now.

Therefore, when Zhang Miao proposed to move the capital to Chenliu, Liu Xie did not object, but he did not have brainless support.

Only give the edict but not the secret edict, and if the matter is successful, it will go to Chen Liu, and if it fails, it is said that it was held hostage by Zhang Miao.

Liu Xie's indifferent words made Zhang Miao stunned for a long time.

However, now Zhang Miao has no way out.

Either give up the power in his hands and take the initiative to resign back to Chen Liu, or he has to gamble his life to move Liu Xie to Chen Liu!

Apparently.

Zhang Miao is unwilling to give up the power in his hands and become a little Chen Liutaishou again.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Miao said in a condensed voice: "Please give your majesty an edict!" ”

Liu Xie nodded: "You say, I thought!" ”

Sikong Province.

Cao Cao got the information about Zhang Miao's entry into the palace, and couldn't help laughing: "Zhang Mengzhuo finally can't help it, as long as you dare to move, this Yanzhou will be in charge of Cao." ”

Regarding Zhang Miao and Chen Gong's reaction, Cao Cao had already expected it.

Lü Bu agreed to marry his daughter, and the military power belonged to Cao Cao, and Zhang Miao and Chen Gong could only rely on Yanzhou's soldiers and horses if they wanted to fight back.

However, once Zang Hong lent troops and horses to Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, Cao Cao could cure Zang Hong of the crime of raising troops for no reason, and Yanzhou could change hands in an instant.

Zang Hong doesn't have as many titles as Liu Bei!

If Zang Hong did not obey the edict, Cao Cao could directly convict Zang Hong of fornicating with Yuan Shao.

As long as Zang Hong responds to Zhang Miao Chen Palace, he will have to die!

"Ordered Xiahou to send Xiahou Yuan to Xiahou Yuan, and stationed soldiers and horses in Changshe and Yanling respectively."

"Get rid of Zhang Miao Chen Palace, Ma Riyan, Yang Biao and others don't have to worry, and the three-thirds plan of filial piety will be achieved."

Cao Cao was full of spirits, and his fine eyes were full of conviction.

Dongping country, Shouzhangcheng.

Zhang Chao was ordered by Zhang Miao to convey Liu Xie's message: "Ziyuan, Your Majesty has an order to order you to immediately command the troops of Yanzhou to be stationed in Fugou City in the south of Chenliu, and welcome Your Majesty to move the capital to Chenliucheng. ”

"Is there only a verbal message, and no holy decree?" Yanzhou Mu Zang Hongmian had doubts, obviously distrusting Liu Xie's dictation conveyed by Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao sighed: "Ziyuan, now that Xu County is controlled by Cao Cao, any issuance of the holy decree needs to be seen by Cao Cao." Leaving the capital will be strictly inspected three times, and it is impossible for me to go out of the city with a holy decree or secret edict. ”

"Could it be that Ziyuan doesn't even trust me?"

Zang Hong shook his head: "Meng Gao misunderstood, you and I have been friends for many years, how can I not believe it?" But without a holy decree, I can't convince the people just by words. ”

Hao Meng on the side couldn't help it: "Envoy, Cao thief bullied the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven intends to move Chen Liu, how can I, as a courtier, not go to meet him?" ”

"The last general, Hao Meng, is willing to go!"

And behind Hao Meng, several generals who were close to Hao Meng also echoed.

Zang Hong couldn't help frowning.

Hao Meng is a native of Dongping and was also recommended by Zhang Miao.

Zang Hong is dedicated to the livelihood of the people in Yanzhou, and is mainly responsible for government affairs on weekdays, and does not care too much about military power.

So much so that among the state soldiers in Yanzhou, except for Gao Shun, most of them became Hao Meng's cronies.

Zang Hong looked at Gao Shun again.

Gao Shun was also recommended by Zhang Miao, but unlike Hao Meng, Gao Shun had a dull personality, and in addition to training, he would only ask Zang Hong for money, food, and armor on weekdays.

There were 800 traps under his command, and nearly half of them wore heavy armor.

If it weren't for Zang Hong's use of most of the money and grain for people's livelihood and his repeated rejection of Gao Shun's petition for money and food armor, it is estimated that all of these 800 fallen soldiers would have worn heavy armor.

"General Gao, do you have a different opinion?" Zang Hong's words have the meaning of inducing answers.

However, Gao Shun is not a good driller, in the face of Zang Hong's inquiry, Gao Shun just said truthfully: "If you have an order, the last general will go." ”

Zang Hong's face suddenly became a little ugly.

I'm asking if you have a different opinion, don't you understand it?

Zhang Chao was overjoyed when he saw this: "Since General Hao and General Gao have agreed, please also ask Ziyuan to send troops quickly!" ”

Just when Zang Hong hesitated, people reported that Taishan Taishou should ask Shao to see.

"Ying Shao, what is he going to do?" Zang Hong was a little surprised.

Zhang Chao's face became unswerving, and as soon as Ying Shao came, Zang Hong took the opportunity to put aside the matter of sending troops to meet him.

"If you don't come early, you won't come late, but at this time, this Ying Shao has always been very close to Liu Bei, could it be that Liu Bei sent him?" Zhang Chao muttered secretly and gave Hao Meng a look.

Hao Meng nodded knowingly.

After a while, Ying Shao came with a small square step and bowed: "Subordinate Taishan is too guarded by Ying Shao, see the envoy!" ”

Zang Hong was also very enthusiastic: "Ying Taishou is coming, why don't you inform me in advance, I can go out of the city to greet you." ”

Ying Shao laughed: "How dare you bother to greet you personally?" Shao came this time, he was entrusted by someone to invite the envoy to Taishan County for a banquet. ”

Zang Hong was slightly surprised: "I don't know who is holding a banquet in Taishan County?" ”

Ying Shao glanced at Zhang Chao and the others, and said loudly: "It is Zheng Ping Zheng Xianmou, the general of the military division under General Zuo and the son of Kang Chenggong, who set up a banquet to invite the envoys. ”

Zhang Chao's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "Ziyuan, this Zheng Ping's banquet can be gone at any time, but you can't delay the Son of Heaven's dictation." ”

Ying Shao was surprised: "Sure enough, as Zheng Junshi expected, there is really a message from the Son of Heaven." ”

"Envoy, Zheng Junshi said that he got a secret report, which may have changed, except for the holy decree, the envoy should not believe any secret edict and oracle."

"Zheng Junshi was worried that the envoy would not believe it, so he asked Shao to come to find the envoy in person."

Zhang Chao changed color suddenly: "Ying Shao, what do you mean, I am pretending to pass on His Majesty's dictation?" ”

Ying Shao smiled and said: "Whether it is a false oracle or not, it is still impossible to make a conclusion." But Shao thought that after the envoy met with Zheng Junshi, he might have a clear answer. ”

"If General Zhang feels wronged, why don't you go to Taishan County with the envoy?"

Zhang Chao turned his head to look at Zang Hong: "Zang Ziyuan, do you really want to go to Taishan County to see Zheng Ping, instead of being greeted by His Majesty's dictate?" ”

If at the beginning, Zhang Chao was brushing up on the old relationship with Zang Hong, then this sentence would have become a question about Zang Hong.

Just when Zang Hong was in a dilemma, Ying Shao said again: "Envoy, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first." Taishan County is not far away, and when the envoy returns, this grain and grass are almost raised. ”

"Whether it is to welcome the car or not to meet the car when the time comes, there will be no delay."

"If General Zhang is in a hurry, he can send the vanguard first."

Zang Hong took the case: "Ying Taishou is reasonable, I'll go to Taishan County!" ”

"General Hao, you can be the vanguard, go to Chenliu first, and I will arrange for people to prepare grain and grass."

"The rest of the things will be discussed when I return from Taishan County."

"Zhang Menggao, are you still satisfied with this arrangement?"

Zang Hong didn't directly call Zhang Chao the table, but added his surname before the table.

Although Zang Hong's Yanzhou pastor was recommended by Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, Zang Hong has been a Yanzhou pastor for so long, and he also wants to save face!

Zhang Chao clenched his fists angrily: "I'll go first with General Hao, Zang Ziyuan, I hope you don't make mistakes!" ”

Zang Hong closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and said, "General Gao, you just stay in Dongping Kingdom and wait for orders." ”

Before Gao Shun could answer, Ying Shao said again: "Envoy, Zheng Junshi said that I hope General Gao can also go to the banquet together." ”

"Zheng Junshi has long admired the name of General Gao of Yanzhou as a good soldier, and he also asked me to send an invitation."

"I didn't say it just now, I was afraid of annoying General Hao Meng."

Gao Shun's tone did not change, still low and solemn: "The last general only listens to the orders of the envoy." ”

Seeing Gao Shun's blunt answer, Zang Hong hurriedly said, "Since Junshi Zheng invited, General Gao will go with him." ”

"If it weren't for Junshi Zheng last year to ask you Zhengping to offer a strategy to get rid of locusts, I don't know how many people would have been displaced by this locust plague in Dongjun and Chenliu."

"This banquet is just a good time to thank Zheng Junshi."

Gao Shun's eyes were a little more radiant, but they soon returned to silence like an abyss.

The other side.

Zhang Chao couldn't hide the anger in his heart: "Zang Ziyuan is now in a high position, so he forgot about the roots. If it weren't for me and my brother, he would be a Guangling Gongcao now. ”

"What's in it for him to be close to Liu Bei?"

"Brother is Situ!"

Hao Meng comforted on the side: "General Zhang doesn't need to be angry for Zang Zhijun, it's not the last general to brag, this Yanzhou general, except for Gao Shun's hard stone, the rest of the generals listen to the last general's orders." ”

"If Zang envoy Jun returns from Taishan County and is unwilling to send troops, the last general will order the rest of the generals to go to Chen Liu according to His Majesty's instructions."

"Zang Envoy-kun, you can't control it!"

Zhang Chao suddenly said happily: "General Hao, is this true?" It's a big deal, don't lie to me! ”

Hao Meng laughed: "How can the last general joke about his future? General Zhang rest assured, there is no envoy in Yanzhou, and the soldiers and horses can arrive in Chenliu as scheduled! ”

Zhang Chao's depression in his heart gradually disappeared, and he immediately promised: "After the matter is completed, General Hao will be the former general of the Han Dynasty!" ”

Hao Meng was also happy in his heart.

A few days later, Ying Shao, Zang Hong, and Gao Shun arrived at Fenggaocheng, the seat of governance in Taishan County.

Zheng Ping and Ying Xun were waiting at the city gate.

Seeing Zang Hong's arrival, Zheng Ping rode forward and bowed his hand to salute: "I have heard for a long time that Yanzhou Muziyuan is diligent in government and loves the people, so that the people of Yanzhou have enough food and clothing, and it is a blessing to see it today!" ”

Zang Hong hurriedly replied: "Master Zheng is too famous!" Hong's qualifications are dull, not as talented as Zheng Junshi, and he can only persuade farmers in Yanzhou to concentrate on farming. ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Zang Hong also introduced Gao Shun and Zheng Ping to know.

Because of Zheng Ping's intervention, Lu Bu never really set foot in the boundary of Yanzhou, and naturally he was not able to bring Gao Shun under his command in Yanzhou.

Now Gao Shun came to Taishan County to meet Zheng Ping as a general under Zang Hong, which is also a wonderful fate.

Zheng Ping greeted him warmly and saluted: "I have heard the name of General Gao for a long time, and Zheng Ping is polite in Xiabeihai." ”

Gao Shun just bowed his hand in return and asked bluntly: "Gao is in Yanzhou, he rarely makes friends with people, and his reputation is not obvious, how did Zheng Junshi know Gao's name?" ”

Zang Hong on the side was a little embarrassed.

What kind of "long-term news" and "fortunate things" and the like, these are all polite gifts, and Gao Shun asked too directly.

When Zang Hong was about to explain, Zheng Ping shook his fan and smiled: "In the past, when I traveled to Zhuzhou County, I also stayed in Chen for a period of time, and I also knew a lot about General Gao's deeds. ”

"General Gao was originally a side branch of the Gao clan of the Chen Liuwang clan, but he was alienated by the main family because of his identity as a concubine."

"However, although General Gao suffered many hardships when he was young, he did not reduce his studious heart, specialized in the art of military training, recommended himself to the county, and was appreciated by the county officials."

"Such a heroic man naturally makes me admire."

"I heard that General Gao has become a general under the command of Yanzhou Mu Zangjun, and I am also very pleased in my heart."

"From a humble background, it's not a shame, you can bend and stretch, and you can be a husband."

"General Gao has a humble body, and finally becomes a general, such a hero, if you can't drink with him, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Gao Shun's eyes changed slightly, and he hugged his fists and said: "Shun is just a martial artist, and he can't afford the reputation of Zheng Junshi!" Shun is not good at drinking, I am afraid of sweeping the interest of Zheng Junshi, can I not go to this banquet? ”

Zheng Ping laughed: "Who said that you have to drink alcohol to go to a banquet?" General Gao didn't know the Qingzhou tradition, and he would not use wine to entertain heroes like Zang Yuanjun and General Gao. ”

Gao Shun was stunned: "You don't need to drink, so what to drink?" ”

Zheng Ping shook his fan and pointed to the sky: "Heroes cherish each other, and what they drink is naturally the purest white water in this world." ”

Feasting with white water?

Not only Gao Shun was puzzled, but Zang Hong was also puzzled.

"Master Zheng, you can drink less ——, by the way." Gao Shun thought that Zheng Ping was deliberately taking care of his face, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Zheng Ping shook his head lightly: "General Gao, don't misunderstand. This white water banquet has long been a tradition in Qingzhou. ”

"General Zuo once said: The white water is clear, even if it is disturbed by the outside world and the ripples are undulating, you can also see the bottom of the bowl, the water and wine are turbid, it is difficult to see clearly, if the outside world interferes with the ripples again, the bottom of the bowl is even more unclear."

"There are many outstanding people in the world, but most of them value private fame over national affairs."

"So much so that the Huanghuang Han, ministers, ministers, and those who compete for power and profit abound."

"Even if it's a touted person, it's just a turbid person who is as muddy as wine!"

"There is no ambition to save the country and the people, only a muddy greed and selfish desire!"

"Although white water has no taste of wine, it is more real than wine!"

"The heroes of this world can not drink the turbid wine, but they can't not drink clean and impurity-free white water!"

"The banquet in Baishui is the highest hospitality gift in Qingzhou!"

"Only respect heroes, not bandits!"
