"How can we chase the past now? Suddenly it is like an arrow that has been released. https: Feeling sad that things have changed, and the gain is not worth the loss." [Hezi sent by Churijian]
Zhu Ling, whose courtesy name was Wenbo, was from Qinghe, Jizhou, and was a loyal supporter of Yuan Shao. For the sake of the Yuan family, he would even ignore his family and order an attack on the city even after seeing his mother die in the city. He was quite strategic and good at
In the military formation, Yuan Shao originally admired his character, especially after this incident, and even compared him to Wu Qi, who killed his wife in the pre-Qin Dynasty to seek an official position.
He served Yuan Shao extremely loyally, because he was also sent by Yuan Shao to lead three battalions of thousands of troops southward. After repelling Yuan Shu, he stationed here and was ordered to "protect" Zhang Miao. If Zhang Miao was unwilling to accept the last battle with Yuan Shao,
If there is a chance of reconciliation, then Zhu Ling may have to replace him.
"Brother, if you still follow Cao Cao, it will be like annihilating yourself. Chen Liu, and we will not be able to protect him." Zhang Chao pointed out the pros and cons, and then persuaded: "Brother, do you still want to defect to Henan? But?
Wouldn't this be treating Yuan and Cao as thieves? In my opinion, it is better to make a good relationship with the Yuan family as soon as possible, and send someone to Cao Cao to explain the difficulties. If he is really wise, he will not be resentful. And my brother can do the same.
Wouldn't it be good to take this opportunity to ease the relationship with Yuan Jizhou, and wait until the situation becomes clear in the future, or the imperial court revives the world, with Yuan and Cao in the middle to join the imperial court and look at each other?"
Zhang Miao stroked his long beard with his hand and pondered for a long time before nodding under Zhang Chao's attentive eyes.
This made Zhang Chao overjoyed. Without waiting for instructions, he hurriedly ran to invite Chen Gong back. Zhang Miao looked at Zhang Chao who couldn't wait and was busy, and his heart suddenly became empty for some reason, as if it was originally full.
Something in my heart suddenly disappeared.
He felt a little regretful and paced back and forth for a few steps, wanting to talk to someone about the annoyance and loss in his heart. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Miao suddenly caught a glimpse of the guard who was still standing like an iron tower in the corner.
He immediately walked over, looked at the young guard who was a head taller than him, and suddenly said: "I remember that you once served as a knight in the countryside of Luli and performed some righteous deeds."
"No." The guard replied sternly: "That happened many years ago. There was a man in the village who bullied good people, so I loaded chicken, wine, millet and rice in an ox cart, pretending to be a gift to those who were waiting. When the door opened,
Then he carried a dagger to kill this powerful man."
"I heard that there were hundreds of people who were chasing you, but they didn't dare to come near." Zhang Miao also remembered that when he was young, he followed Yuan Shao and others to fight against injustice. Later, when he raised a volunteer army,
Ye Duo also likes to choose people with a good background as his bodyguards. He then asked: "Is that goodness familiar to you?"
The answer was unexpected: "I have never met him."
Zhang Miao asked curiously: "Then why did you risk your life?"
“But it’s the word ‘righteousness’.”
Zhang Miao was silent. Not only was the heavy feeling in his heart not relieved, but it became even heavier, as if he had eaten a piece of iron. After a long time, he heard the footsteps of Zhang Chao and others coming in a hurry. Zhang Miao's words
Then he lowered his eyebrows, raised his hand and patted the guard's shoulder, and said inexplicably: "I heard that you are good at dancing with double halberds. When you are free that day, you can dance for me again."
Before the man could agree, Zhang Miao turned around and walked away. The distance between the two of them was getting farther and farther on the short verandah. The guard still stood there, never turning to face Zhang Miao.
He suddenly moved at this moment. On his resolute face, which was as sharp as a knife and an axe, there was a complicated glint in the eyes of this loyal man.
Chen Gong seemed to have expected this. The more he appeared calm and leisurely at the moment, the more Zhang Miao felt that the opponent was full of confidence. Yuan Shao was even more prepared when he came to Yanzhou. There was really no place for Cao Cao to gain a foothold in Yanzhou.
After hearing Zhang Miao's plan, Chen Gong smiled calmly and said: "The Lord of Fu is indeed a wise man! Once the situation in Yanzhou is overturned, the high officials will be relieved and the border officials will take revenge. All the sergeants in the state will be grateful to the Lord of Fu for his virtue. With the government
You have an old relationship with Yuan Jizhou, and in the future, you will have to rely more on the Lord for matters concerning Yanzhou!"
The hint in these words was already very obvious. Zhang Chao was overjoyed after hearing this and smiled happily. Zhang Miao, on the other hand, acted indifferently and said: "Yuan Benchu has already had a prejudice against me. It may be difficult to fully explain his suspicion in the future."
I think Gongtai’s words are exaggerating.”
Chen Gong hurriedly said seriously: "The Lord Fu is worrying too much. At that time, Yuan Jizhou and the Hou General were at odds with each other, and almost everyone knew that now, aren't they brothers joining hands and echoing each other from the north to the south? It can be seen that the grievances are not permanent, let alone the Lord and Yuan
The deep friendship between Jizhou?”
Zhang Miao finally felt a huge stone fall from his heart. He breathed a sigh of relief and murmured to himself: "Yes, that's true."
As soon as Chen Gong returned to the guest house, Xu Si, a middleman in Yanzhou who had been waiting here for a long time, was immediately greeted by Wang Kai and others. When they saw Chen Gong's happy face, they knew that the matter had been accomplished, and they all congratulated: "If even Zhang Mengzhuo can
If they all turn their backs on Cao Cao, he will truly have deserted his relatives."
"Cao Mengde'an tolerated being without relatives and harmed the virtuous. He should have ended up like this!" Chen Gong's expression suddenly changed, and all the self-respect he had deliberately maintained in front of Zhang Miao disappeared: "How did I misjudge him back then!"
Chen Gong and Yanzhou celebrities both had close relationships with teachers and friends, while at the same time Chen Gong had the style of a celebrity and liked to criticize the current ills. Cao Cao, who looked down on his eunuch family background, became the leader of Yanzhou and tended to support the authentic governor Tian Fen. As a result, he was jealous of Cao Cao.
Executed for death. Chen Gong interceded several times in front of Cao Cao in order to save Bian Rang, but in the end it was unsuccessful. Cao Cao deliberately suppressed the Yanzhou scholars and deliberately promoted the Yingchuan scholars recommended by Xun Yu, and let Chen Gong and others
People are more and more heartbroken.
Bian Rang's death was more of an introduction, and the deeper part was the conflict caused by Cao Cao's inability to protect and even give enough benefits to the local powerful people in Yanzhou.
"Gongtai is at peace for the time being. Duke Bian died. Not only us, but also Zhang Mengzhuo also criticized him." Wang Kai cupped his hands and said softly: "I still remember that Zhang Mengzhuo wrote a letter to Cao Cao that day, hoping for his mercy.
It's a pity that I can't save the life of the border official. I was waiting outside the door after delivering the letter, and I vaguely heard Cao Cao saying to himself, "The more this is like this, the harder it is to spare this person." For his own selfish interests, Cao Cao killed famous people, Zhang Mengzhuo
I often felt sad afterwards. I agreed to the uprising this time because I wanted to use it to advocate for the border officials."
Xu Si also echoed: "Yes, Zhang Mengzhuo is also from Yanzhou. He has always heard of the name of the border official. Who doesn't sigh with regret when a noble scholar is killed?"
Chen Gong is the one who can best control his emotions. Somehow, the long-suppressed emotions were released for a moment. At this time, seeing Wang Kai and Xu Si's words of comfort, Chen Gong immediately adjusted and regained his composure.
With his emotions in mind, he said: "You are right, Yanzhou is what the people want now, what we are doing is not to plot rebellion, but to let Tian Shijun truly fulfill his duty as governor."
Wang Kai only said a few words, and then suddenly said: "It's just that I still don't understand something."
Seeing Chen Gong's inquiring gaze, Wang Kai coughed dryly and said: "If Mr. Yuan wants to march to Yanzhou, he only needs Zang Jun, Tian Shijun, Zhu Ling and others to work together, and then the Judu Governor will coordinate."
Nothing goes wrong. Cao Cao leads his army far away in Xuzhou, and Xun Yu and other cronies are also in the south. He is empty in his belly, and it is a foregone conclusion in ten months. Why bother to persuade Zhang Mengzhuo? He is on good terms with Cao Cao, and he once had a bad relationship with Yuan Gong. What if?
The lobbying failed and the news leaked..."
Wang Kai said, bowed slightly to Chen Gong, and said: "Just to declare that everyone in Yanzhou has turned against Cao Cao, it is not worth the gain."
"How do you understand?" Chen Gongxiao glanced at him and sat on the couch, minding his own business. He picked up a pen and planned to write a letter at his desk: "Yuan Shao has a certain feeling in his heart and must prove something."
Xu Bang knew that Chen Gong was only temporarily cooperating with Yuan Shao for a common goal, and he didn't have much respect for him in his heart, so he selectively ignored his disrespectful move of calling Yuan Shao by his name, and simply asked out of curiosity: "
What's up?"
Chen Gong had just written a word on the silk. At this time, the pen tip paused on the paper, staring at the blank silk, and said meaningfully: "He wants to prove that he is stronger than the other party no matter what."
