Chapter 257, Tian Feng who is reluctant to go home
Taishi Ci rode up to Xu Shu and listened to Yuan Zhi's explanation of what happened in Xuchang.
When he heard that his lord could not come with him because of Sun Ce, Taishi Ci looked at the sky, his eyes full of longing.
"Datong attaches great importance to love. In troubled times, I finally found a wise master who I can entrust to my whole life!"
"If, if I was blinded by someone back then, I'm afraid now, I, I!"
Taishi Ci couldn't help but shudder when he thought that when he first arrived in the plain, all he could think about was the big-eared man with big snot in his nose not far away.
Liu Bei's emotions came and went even faster. The situation calmed down. He took out the brocade handkerchief from his arms, wiped the tears from his face, and instantly returned to calm mode.
This man's mood changes were flawless and smooth, which shocked Hua Xin, who was used to seeing all kinds of things in the world.
He knew that if the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were allowed to enter the city with their subordinates, the city would be filled with blood if someone were not careful. Just as he was thinking about how to decide the matter, Liu Bei had already galloped to the side of Hua Xin.
"Hua Gong, Datong and I were in conflict with each other back then in Dongjun and Xuzhou. Now, although we are colleagues, we cannot be in the same place!"
"I think the three of my brothers will lead the troops and station them outside the city of Dongjun, as long as there are supplies of food and grass in the city!"
"We don't know the whereabouts of Yuan's army. Duke Ming's order is to station troops to protect the crossing of the Yellow River. There is no harm in dividing the troops. It is just right to monitor the river here."
What Liu Bei said seemed to make sense. Hua Xin didn't understand military strategy, so he felt confused. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Xu Shu, and saw a famous scholar from Jingzhou, nodding slowly towards him.
"Okay, we are facing a huge enemy. A few misunderstandings are just the beginning!"
"Xuande leads his own troops, and I will take care of the food and fodder. There will be no difference. Be sure to pay attention to this section of the ferry. Yuan's army is powerful. If he passes this natural danger and the army marches straight in, I am afraid he will have failed to live up to Duke Cao's trust!"
Hua Xin looked at Liu Bei, whose moods and expressions changed randomly. He couldn't be affectionate no matter what. He nodded stiffly and watched the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang lead their troops around the city and slowly headed east of Dongjun.
"What are you afraid of, Mr. Hua? Just General Zuo, with me speaking in front of my uncle, and Ziyu cooperating, I will defeat the three of them today!"
"So cool, even tougher than me, I really don't know my identity!"
Xia Houen, with the tone of his second generation ancestor, looked at Liu Bei's retreating figure, spat heavily on the ground.
Behind him, two big hands were on his shoulders almost at the same time.
Xia Houen turned his head and looked, seeing Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci, with kind and friendly faces looking at him.
"Well said. He behaves like this. If you don't know, you would think he is the governor of Dongjun. Bah!"
"Since I want to cheat Liu Da'er, we will be brothers from now on. If I have the opportunity to go to Bazhou for business, it will be mine to eat, drink and play. Bazhou girls have a different flavor compared to women from the Central Plains!"
Xia Houen's stance was so firm that he was naturally recognized by everyone in Dongjun.
Liu Bei left, and it was considered out of sight. Hua Xin did not expect that he did not fight Yuan Shao, but today there was a dragon-tiger fight. A wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Looking at the city gate, Zao Di also hurriedly led people to rush out.
, with a look of support, he greeted him with a smile.
In this way, Cao's army in Dongjun was strangely divided into two parts. The Dongjun line and Xia Houen's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were responsible for monitoring the ferry west of Cangtingjin.
Liu Bei's tribe was ordered by Hua Xin to monitor the Yellow River east of Cangtingjin.
This place is also the only way for Taishan ore and coal to be transported to Dongjun.
The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang ate corn from Dongjun, looked at the endless white strange plants, and saw the oxcarts carrying stones on the road in an endless stream coming from the east. They felt countless bitternesses in their hearts.
Neither Liu Bei's brothers nor Taishi Ci and others would know.
At the time of the internal strife under Dongjun City, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, with the most elite soldiers in Hebei, were rapidly coming south. The ferry they chose was the defense area that Big Er was responsible for!
Xuchang City, East Market, and West Market have only been open for less than a month, but they are already prosperous.
Tian Feng, who was sent by Yuan Shao to return the letter, did not appear in the imperial palace that day. Fatty Tian was the most pragmatic in his life.
He knew that the strength of a county was hidden in the countryside market. Tian Yuanhao turned into a spy from the third century AD and wandered outside Xuchang every day with a bamboo-paper pamphlet.
Whether it was the fertility of the soil, the plants grown, the prices of goods in Xuchang, or the daily movement of people, all were recorded in Tian Feng's booklet.
Fatty Tian, who originally boasted that Hebei was fertile and unparalleled in the world, became increasingly depressed the more he stayed in Xuchang.
The pamphlet in his hand has already told the most powerful brain in Hebei that Xuchang, which has been tortured by the Yellow Turbans, is no longer inferior to Yecheng in Jizhou in terms of Changhua alone.
The flow of goods and the joy of all the people are even in Ye City, which has the densest concentration of high-class families in the world, and all of this is because of Fang Guang.
Because a year ago, Fang Guang, who defeated Zang Hong Jingru and caused fire lotus to grow in the water by the Yellow River.
Tian Feng didn't believe it at first. There are all kinds of talents in the world. A high horse can command thousands of troops and horses, destroy the country with spears. A low horse can govern the country and bring peace to the people. Today, he has no choice but to believe it.
.
Only then did they learn that the price of rice in Xuchang was three points lower than that in Yecheng, and even cheaper than rice in Jingzhou. Fatty Tian, who was in a heavy mood, dragged his heavy steps to the most luxurious restaurant in the east city of Xuchang at noon.
Inside a restaurant.
In Yuzhou, the only place that can soothe a fat man’s broken heart is this Yuzhou-flavored shochu and the stir-fried dishes that are definitely not found in Hebei!
But Tian Feng knew that these two things, which were not available in Yecheng, the most prosperous city in the world, were also made by Fang Datong.
Tian Feng asked for a private room, drank a few glasses of shochu and some fat chicken, and was already dizzy and drunk.
The fat man gestured with one hand on the table, writing the word "Fang Guang" repeatedly, and even mumbling in his mouth.
"We, Hebei, only lack Datong. The Yellow Turbans of Jizhou are actually as good as all the celebrities from Hejian and Nanyang. It really puts our generation to shame!"
Fatty Xiaoxiao went crazy with alcohol, and the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open from inside.
Tian Feng's face was frozen, and he was about to have an attack. When he looked carefully, he saw that the person who opened the door was none other than the second person on the mission to Xuchang, Xin Ping's younger brother, Xin Pi, a famous scholar from Yingchuan.
The Yingchuan lineage had always been at odds with the scholars in Hebei. Xin Ping was Guo Tu's most trusted person. His younger brother's coming to the south was actually gold-plated.
Xinpi was conceited as a celebrity and had always looked down upon this fat man under Jushu's command.
"Yuan Hao, you are still drinking. Cao Cao is about to fall out with his lord. Hebei has reported secretly that General Yan Liang, Wen Chou, will soon cross the river to seize Cao Cao's lifeline, Dongjun!"
