…… Xiao Lang didn't know the twists and turns, and he didn't know how naughty he was to make his husband make up his mind to beat him, he just felt that every day when he needed to go to school was extremely unlucky.

"Sheep Xiaolang! Sheep Xiaolang! There was a group of naughty boys around the door of the school, and they were pointing, and a person who was familiar with him saw him coming, and immediately shouted, "Mr. Xiao was called away today for something!" Let's not do our homework today! ”

"Huh?!"

The wilting little lang was in great spirits for a moment!

"Something good happened! Who took the little gentleman away?! He exclaimed, "Heaven's glad!" Great joy! ”

"Celebrate the whole world!"

None of the bear children were busy going home, jumping up and down, throwing the bamboo slips they carried into the sky, cheering and jumping, occasionally one or two bear children who lived in the vicinity because of the loud cheers, the grandmother of the family quarreled out, and carried them home with their ears, but more bear children began their carnival unscrupulously.

Don't come back, little gentleman! No matter what the reason is, I took this day off! Please open your eyes to the gods of the four directions! Make their vacation unlimited! Boundless! Boundless! Keep it up!

The ignorant urchins did not yet understand what they were praying for, but the gods of the four directions may have heard the cries of the children in the little courtyard and smiled at them with compassion.

The little gentleman from Mengxue had already left the city with many people at this time.

He looked a little uneasy, then put the heart down again.

Some Coats watched the sky at night and said that there was a locust plague recently, so Tian Zhijun ordered the farmers in Donglai and Beihai to harvest as soon as possible.

The government was even worried that the peasants would not have enough manpower, so they recruited people from the city to help, and if the people were not enough, they would recruit a few more officials who were not busy with official affairs.

The little gentleman followed him out of the city in such a daze, and he wanted to protest, saying that although his family was poor, he also came from a family of scholars, and he rarely did such farm work.

But when he saw that there were still many women working among the ridges, he put away his little complaint and began to help with the work.

In a golden wheat field, everyone was sweating profusely, and it was very harmonious, but at noon there was a little discordant sound.

For example, the wealthy peasants brought them another meal, and the poor would bring a pinch of salt and drink it with water to replenish their strength, but these citizens who went out of the city to volunteer found that the government did not provide anything at noon, and they inevitably muttered a few words.

…… Knowing that these people who are not used to manual work especially need to add some food and drink, You Heng kept this matter in mind, and was about to go back to make arrangements, when Lu Bai, dressed as a man, came to the field.

Her snow-white face, barely bloodless, seemed to tan a little in the sun, but her complexion was not half damaged, but more vivid.

But You Heng still asked one more question.

"It's so hot at noon, why don't you go and rest under the tree?"

Lu Bai shook his head, "Are you really going to fight?" ”

There were cicadas chirping, human voices, and the rustling of the wind when it blew through the wheat waves.

This year's harvest is very good, the farmers say so, you can beat a little rice cake to eat, the Wu people's practice is to boil soup, but the nobles can also use oil fried as a snack. This kind of food is not eaten every autumn, let alone every year, so various ways of eating are mentioned, and there are lonely people who want to consult the well-informed people in the city.

"When I learn it, go home and do the same for my son to try!"

You Heng withdrew his gaze from the farmer sitting on the ridge of the field, and considered it for a moment before speaking.

"Zhang Mengzhuo also heard the news from Zang Hong, it may not be reliable, everything depends on the lord."

Although Yuan Tan began to mobilize troops and horses again, as long as Liu Bei withstood the all-out attack of Cao's army on the front line, then Qingzhou would have the strength and confidence to defend it.

His unfinished words were obviously understood by Lu Bai, because she glanced up at him.

"The Son of Heaven issued an edict, and the princes should work together to beg for thieves, why is Liu Zhijun the only one who is acting on the orders of the court?"

"The Han dynasty is declining, and the princes have different intentions, this is not the fault of the lord!" You Heng immediately said, "The Heavenly Dao is here, what are you afraid of?" ”

Lu Bai seemed to be listening, but she didn't seem to be listening, and a look of sadness and coldness appeared on her face.

"Heavenly Dao is here," she said, "but Sister is not here." ”

As if as a small sign of the end of this conversation, a fast horse galloped by, kicking up dust all the way, choking the peasants sitting on the side of the road and chatting loudly.

You Heng and Lu Bai watched the fast horse gallop into the drama city, and their hearts also became uneasy.

The messenger had been running wild all the way into the city, and when he finally came to the gate of the state capital where Tian Yu worked, he almost fell off his horse, and the soldiers guarding the gate on both sides hurriedly helped him up.

"I want to see Tian Envoy!" The messenger shouted, "Hurry up!" ”

Cao Cao raided, first under Cai, and then under Lingbi! Liu Beijun was defeated and retreated to Xiapi!

This Yanzhou army swept to the land of Xuzhou like a swift wind sweeping the grass!

Where should Qingzhou go?!

When Kong Rong heard the news of Tian Yu's visit, he was not ready to put down the pen in his hand.

Today's weather is very good, and it is very suitable for learning, so he and a group of Hongdumen disciples are sorting out a catalog of scriptures, which have true and false books, and some books with different names, but similar or identical content, and he has to screen them one by one.

And when Kong Rong was doing his studies, he didn't like others to come to disturb him, not only did the people around him know about it, but even the entire Beihai Sea didn't know about it.

Therefore, Tian Yu ignored the servant's words and walked straight in, Kong Rong was extremely surprised.

The scribes also raised their heads and looked at him dissatisfied.

"I have something urgent to discuss with Kong Beihai," Tian Yu said, "You should hurry up." ”

The sound of inhaling cold air sounded in this spacious and bright study, and immediately someone straightened up dissatisfiedly, wanting to reason with this arrogant and rude Langya Taishou.

Tian Yu's expression was very calm, and he didn't seem to realize how rude what he just said was.

He didn't even realize how out of line he had been when he walked in with his shoes on.

Then the scribes turned their heads suspiciously and looked at Kong Rong.

Kong Rong groaned for a moment and nodded slowly.

After a while, not only the scribes rushed out, but also the servants under the corridor quietly retreated.

"Guorang, what happened?"

"Cao Cao raided Xuzhou, the lord was defeated and retreated to Xiapi, and the Yuan family is afraid that it will not be long before the second attack on Qingzhou." Tian Yu stepped forward step by step, his voice was extremely calm, and he was not the slightest flustered, "This place is thousands of miles away from the Lujiang River, how can General Ciyu catch up?" Now that I am being rude, I want to ask Kong Beihai how to behave? ”

In Kong Rong's impression, this busy civil official has a little bit of a real temper, but he is very kind to the high-ranking families or the capital of Qian, who meets on the side of the road, and is a gentle and cheerful young man.

And at this moment, Tian Yu seems to have changed as a person.

Like a sword sealed in a box that has been wiped clean, it is about to show a cold light.

Chapter 244

When he was young, he supported Liu Bei and served as a county governor in the plains for a period of time, while being familiar with government affairs, he quietly watched the affairs of the world.

In Tian Yu's view, Xuzhou is not a good place to go, after Cao Cao killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, this withered and dilapidated land has no ability to recover in a short period of time, not to mention, its own geographical location is too open, unless it obtains a male lord, otherwise Xuzhou, which is surrounded by enemies, will sooner or later be annexed by the surrounding princes.

And Liu Bei is not the male lord - he has the qualifications of the male lord, but he does not have the luck of the male lord. He was born in a clan, but his hometown could not pull up a team of soldiers and horses for him and give him a foundation where he could develop slowly.

Although Tian Yu was forced to stay because of Lu Hangyu's stuffy stick, he still had this worry in his heart for a long time: Xuzhou is really too difficult to defend, and if they want to hold this land, they need to constantly attack, attack, and attack.

The lord did the same, he, Guan Yu and Lu Xuanyu were constantly attacking in all directions, constantly expanding their territory, and they almost created a dream of winning a hundred battles.

But dreams have to wake up after all.

Tian Yu wasn't sure if he could hold Qingzhou under the premise that Xuzhou was in a comprehensive emergency, but he had been thinking about this issue for a long time before receiving the urgent report.

As a result, he sorted out for himself a few things that needed to be done, and with each one, he was a little more prepared.

Harvesting autumn grain is one thing, sending scouts to reconnoiter on the border line is another, and it is quite important to find Kong Rong.

For Qingzhou, Kong Rong's ruling power is higher than that of Lu Lian, and even Liu Bei, the legitimacy of his regime comes from the official documents of the imperial court, and his fame comes from his rule in Beihai over the years, even if he is not accustomed to mundane affairs, too high-minded people, but he does let the people of Beihai get a peaceful and stable life.

Therefore, Kong Rong's attitude is very important to Tian Yu, if the world-famous Kong Beihai hears the news, the first thing to do is to pack up his things and run south or even surrender to Cao Cao, it will be an irreparable blow to Qingzhou's morale.

In the crisp autumn weather, the curtains on both sides were rolled up, so that the study room was very open and transparent, so quiet that you could hear the rustling of leaves.

And Kong Rong didn't speak.

This middle-aged man in his forties, with a white face and a slight beard, was silent for a long time, so long that Tian Yu's hand on the hilt of the sword clenched unconsciously.

"Liu Yuanjun went to Huainan to fight for the court and the Son of Heaven."

"Yes."

"Therefore, Liu Yuanjun has morality."

"Yes."

"But he lost," Kong Rong said, "and General Xiao Lu is not here." ”

Tian Yu's voice was very deep, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

"Yes."

Kong Rong let out a long sigh, got up and walked to the bottom of the porch, looking at the tree in the courtyard and was stunned.

The wind blew the wide sleeves of his robe, and it also covered his face.

Then the hand on the hilt of the sword was held an inch tighter, and even unconsciously exerted force, so that the sword hidden in the sheath moved slightly.

"I've never been good at fighting, and so are the people of Qingzhou."

Tian Yu stopped talking and waited for Kong Rong to finish speaking.

"But we are willing to work with Liu Yuanjun—" Kong Rong paused, "and General Xiao Lu, advance and retreat together." ”

The power of the left and right sabers disappeared, and it turned into a new force, filling Tian Yu's chest, beating vigorously.

"If you keep a day, we will follow you for a day," the middle-aged scribe turned his face and smiled at Tian Yu, "If you retreat, we will retreat to Xuzhou with you." ”

Some poplar trees were also planted in the courtyard of Yuan Shao's mansion, and when this gust of wind blew into Yecheng from south to north, the general, who was in charge of Jizhou and Merge Prefecture, and was about to take over Youzhou, and by the way, also occupied half of Qingzhou, was gathering his advisers and wanted to hear their opinions.

"Meng De wants to attack Liu Bei and persuade me to send troops to Qingzhou while he is empty, what do you think?"

The Hebei strategists exchanged glances with each other, and when the same camp had to finally confirm the caliber and attitude, Fu Zhu had already spoken out.

Liu Bei was ordered by the court to go first, but now Yuan Highway is not defeated, but Cao Mengde took advantage of his unpreparedness and used hidden arrows. This move is tantamount to being an enemy of the world, how can the lord open his eyes for it? ”

Yuan Shao's face suddenly pale, and the strategists immediately exchanged another look, a few of them couldn't help but look at the frustrated eyes with a little pity, and a few couldn't hide their gloating.

Frustrated didn't seem to notice the small movements, but his tone softened.

"If the lord only wants Qingzhou, then there is really no need to send troops at this time," he said, "Lu Zhonglian said, 'A hundred-legged insect will not stiffen until death', Liu Bei can be based on Xuzhou for several years, how can there be no foundation?" If Cao Mengde wants to capture Xuzhou, he will inevitably have to fight hard. ”

Yuan Shao touched his beard and nodded slowly.

"When Cao Cao exterminates Liu Bei, the lord can be ordered by the court, and then send troops, go south with all his might, and include Qingxu in Yanzhong, between Runan and Lianghuai, can there be anyone who can compete with the lord?"

This analysis of Frustration was reasonable, not only Yuan Shao's eyes lit up approvingly, but even several strategists fell into contemplation, pondering the unfinished words of Frustration's plan.
