"No," she chuckled dryly, "this is a joke from far, far, far away, probably from Daqin or something." ”

Chapter 177

It's just a few words of relief from the Italian joke, and then we have to study what to do.

Regarding whether to help Beihai, Tai Shici is particularly experienced.

"Kong Beihai is good at learning and neglects mundane affairs," his words were still very euphemistic, "If such thieves are allowed to besiege Beihai City, it will inevitably be the same as in the first four years of peace." ”

In the fourth year of the first peace, Tai Shi Ci was entrusted by Kong Rong to break out of the siege from Beihai all the way, and rushed to the plain with one person and one horse, and invited rescuers. Lu Hangyu and Tian Yu were very impressed by this incident.

"Were the thieves that time?" Tian Yu asked hesitantly.

Tai Shi Ci nodded, "Liu envoys are coming, and the thieves will be defeated at the first touch." ”

…… With this combat power, he can still beat Kong Rong like this.

"That being the case," she said, "we send two thousand ...... here."

Chen Qun raised his head.

"General." He glanced at her, "It's unwise to be an enemy of Yuan Shao." ”

"I didn't say I was going to beat Yuan ......"

She said it halfway without thinking, and then took it back.

She really didn't want to start a war with Yuan Tan, but if she directly sent troops to help Kong Rong, it would be not much different from going to war directly.

If Yuan Shao and Liu Bei go to war now because of her, it will be a very dangerous thing for Liu Bei to see. After all, once Yuan Shao makes a move, Cao Cao will follow, and this dilapidated Xuzhou is still too weak to withstand the pressure of such an enemy on all sides.

"But if we don't care," Tian Yu frowned, "Even if Kong Rong retreats from the enemy by himself, looking at the situation in Beihai, don't say anything about the food that defends the city this year, I'm afraid that all the good and lowly people in the county will be hungry this autumn, and I don't know how many starvations will die on the road by then." ”

So Chen Qun was also silent.

In front of Chen Qun, Lu Hangyu generally sat very upright, but the more she thought about the problem now, the more troublesome she felt, and she unconsciously changed her posture.

The maidservant girl who brought her over was particularly eye-catching, and when she saw that she had changed from kneeling to cross-legged, she immediately moved over a few days.

…… It's not good to rely on this thing in front of everyone.

…… She leaned forward hesitantly.

…… It's not very solemn, but it's very comfortable.

…… The most comfortable thing was that Chen Qun stared at her a little dissatisfied, but didn't say anything.

Outside the house, women walked by in twos and threes, and merchants drove by ox-carts, but the cicadas gradually died down, so that the house seemed even quieter.

She leaned her weight on the table, one hand on her chin, and thought intently about it.

She can't go to war with Yuan Tan, and Yuan Tan naturally doesn't want to start a war with her before taking Beihai, which is also one thing that doesn't need to be wasted to explain.

That is to say, as long as there is an excuse, a reason, and a step that can prove that she did not deliberately embarrass Yuan Tan, then even if she substantially helped Kong Rong, Yuan Tan can also use this excuse to temporarily endure this breath and not start an all-out war with Xuzhou.

She needs this excuse, and Yuan Tan also needs this excuse.

…… But where exactly is this excuse?

"Ziyi worked hard to suppress bandits before." Lu Hangyu suddenly said this without a head.

Tai Shi Ci was stunned for a moment, "Since I am a cavalry captain, it is within my duty to fight for thieves and quell chaos, so why work hard?" ”

"You've caught some bandits," she asked, "have you dealt with the leaders?" ”

Tian Yu looked at Tai Shici, and Chen Qun also looked at Tai Shici.

The bearded young general's eyes widened for a moment, then bent up.

"Not yet," he laughed, "there are a few left, enough for that." ”

"What does Ziyi mean by that?"

She ignored Tian Yu's inquiry, but left the table, and the whole person sat upright again.

"Since I am in the Langya Tun Army, I can't tolerate thieves making trouble," she ordered, "If a rogue escapes into Beihai, let's pursue it into Beihai." ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Tian Yu and Tai Shici answered very quickly, and Chen Qun was stunned for a moment, and then got up and saluted.

"The general's ingenuity." The members of the Discipline Inspection Committee are still very reserved, and they don't want to be slapping horses at all.

You seem to have made a lot of progress lately. Blackblade said, "I've always felt that your 20 intelligence is only for increasing spell slots. 】

[This should not be considered progress, nor is it smart. She said, "Xuzhou needs Beihai, I just thought of some excuses. 】

[You have come up with an unscrupulous solution. It says, "That's a good start. 】

【…… This kind of deception is acceptable to me, Kong Rong, and Yuan Tan. 】

[You and Yuan Tan can accept it, which is good. 】

She thought about it for a while, and she wasn't quite sure what Kong Rong was thinking.

The neighbor pretended to be a thief and rushed into his house to help him clean the house, without his consent—a bit of a domineering thing indeed.

…… Forget it, what do you think about the waste firewood, if you are angry, you can sue Liu Bei, the season of collecting grain is only a few days, she can't take care of it.

Chen Qun didn't want to admit that he didn't like this General Lu at first.

…… It has a little to do with background, and it has a lot to do with conversation and behavior, so that gender issues are not important.

Lu Lian's background was too low, and when she followed Liu Bei and only brought hundreds of people to Xuzhou City, Chen Qun didn't even look at her more, he only felt that such an unknown junior was not worth his second glance.

Then after the battle of Tancheng, the whole state was shocked, and even the entire Central Plains faintly knew the existence of this person - but her origin as the head of the Qianqian still made it difficult for the scholars to intersect with him.

Who will bring a groomer to the door? I even faintly heard that before she came to the plains, she made a living by killing pigs and selling meat in Luoyang? How can such people be made to fellowship equally? Not only did the Danyang people look down on her, but the Guangling clan tried their best to drive her out.

She is dressed plainly, some people say that she pretends to be cold, but she is famous, and some people say that she is greedy for beauty, and other people's wives will not let go.

Lu Hangyu didn't say a word, and he didn't see any reaction after hearing it.

Where would such a person behave and gain a good reputation, he simply didn't even want his own reputation.

But looking at it now, why did the young sons of those families gather under her command again, trying to win her approval every day?

- It's just a trend of inflammation.

Chen Qun thought so in his heart, and quickly refuted himself.

Those families may not have admiration in their eyes, but there will always be some recognition and respect, which cannot be pretended. They are running around for the food tax in the two counties, not so much to win the joy of a woman, but to recognize and repay in another sense:

You have done your best to protect our hometown, and several times when you were on the verge of life and death, we remember this kindness.

He is a person who has a "neat style and etiquette" and looks down on those who are not good at speech and behavior, and wants to enter Chen Qun's eyes, behave in a dignified manner, speak solemnly, be good at scripture, and ......

…… Lu Lian can't catch up with one anyway.

…… But she is an exception.

The gates were wide open.

The officials of Beihai City waited outside the city gate with happy faces.

Seeing that Lu Lian got off the horse, Tian Yu also got off the horse, and Chen Qun, who was accompanying him behind him, also got out of the car.

Tai Shi Ci was still "chasing" the thieves, and those sons of the family were not suitable to bring, so they stayed in Kaiyang City.

But Chen Qun originally came to inspect Langya and the East China Sea, so he didn't need to come to Beihai with him.

…… The reason for his visit was simple.

"Does the general want to go and see Kong Beihai by himself?"

"Can't you?" Lu Lian looked at him with a little suspicion.

Chen Qun smiled hard, "The general might as well take me." ”

“…… What is it for? ”

…… That's not a polite question to ask! Chen Qun clenched his fist in his sleeve angrily, but he decided not to bother with her this time.

"Kong Beihai is a celebrity today," he said, "this person has a high spirit, and ordinary people are only afraid that he will be criticized in etiquette." ”

Lu Lian actually thought about it for a while, "Am I an ordinary person?" ”

Chen Qun felt his teeth rattle.

Where is she an ordinary person! Where can ordinary people not speak like her!

"If you want to go, you can go." She said nonchalantly, "It's good to be distracted." ”

Among the officials who came out of Beihai to greet him, there was a scribe in his forties, with a high crown and a broad belt - the world-famous Beihai Xiang Kong Rong and Kong Wenju.

Chen Qun recalled the previous conversation and glanced at Lu Lian again.

There was a hint of naivety on that flat face that he didn't know what was going to happen next.

So this Chen Changwen actually had a faint pleasure of revenge in his heart: Do you think you can communicate with Kong Rong! Go ahead and try to communicate! Then you'll know what it's like to communicate with you before!

The first half hour was actually quite normal.

Kong Rong greeted them into the city very warmly, greeted Liu Bei to see if he was doing recently, and praised her bravery when she defended the city before.

"I've heard about the first battle of Xiapi, who would have thought that there would be such a strange thing in the world?"

She scratched her head, "Kong Beihai has won the award." ”

"Ciyu uses soldiers, the barrier is swirling, and the gods are shocked, what a famous general who is not in the world."

…… This man is a little too learned, what does that mean?

She carefully decided to turn the conversation to something she could understand, explain, and matter.

"The counties of Beihai Country are ...... autumn this year"

Kong Rong glanced at her.

She thought that Kong Rong wanted to say something, so she quickly shut up and respectfully put on a posture of listening to her ears.
