In fact, it's not that Xiang Lang and others don't want to make meritorious deeds, but that they don't have the means like Jin Yiwei. Besides, what Duan Kun can think of, can't they think of it? They really rushed to the front, and the thieves took Ma Jun and Guan Qiuxing hostage. What should they do? Let the enemy go or kill them as well?
Duan Kun smiled nonchalantly, "Then I will go and report to the Lord first and ask the Lord to make a decision."
"Commander Duan, please excuse me."
Duan Kun, who was walking outside the hospital, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Xiang Chong and said, "Young Master Xiang, do you have any suggestions?"
Xiang Chong glanced at Xiang Lang and then said, "I think it's not appropriate to alert the enemy. It's better to send people to keep an eye on the place first, and don't relax the blockade and martial law to confuse the thieves. After stabilizing them, let's find a way to rescue the two deans."
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"Isn't there a restaurant there? We can send some new faces to eat and find a chance to find out where the two adults are."
"Hahaha..." Duan Kun laughed and looked at Xiang Lang, "Director Xiang, congratulations to you, there is a successor to the Xiang family."
After saying that, Duan Kun walked out of the hospital again.
When Duan Kun arrived at the Hou Mansion, Liu Cong was fishing in the yard with his two daughters and his wives.
On the clean grill, there were some fresh fish, and the servants nearby were grilling the fish carefully. At the edge of the pond, several ladies were still teasing about fishing.
"Reporting to my lord, Duan Kun, commander of the Jinyi Guards, would like to see you."
"Well, call me in."
"promise."
Liu Cong tore off a piece of chicken with his hands, blew it with his mouth, and then handed it to little Chunxi's mouth, "Chunxi, open your mouth and try the chicken that your father roasted for you."
Chunxi, who is more than one year old, can already eat some food that adults eat. As for why she doesn't feed fish, nonsense, daughter slaves like Liu Cong are still afraid of fish bones pricking their daughter.
"Aww. Thank you...Daddy." Xiao Chunxi took a bite of the chicken handed over by Liu Cong and said to Liu Cong while chewing it.
"I want... I want..." The smaller Yi Guang on the other side opened her little hands and fluttered. She didn't have that much vocabulary, but she could express herself with body language.
"Okay, okay, daddy will feed you, there is everything, there is everything, don't worry." Liu Cong laughed and tore off a smaller piece of chicken, blew it gently before feeding it into Xiao Yiguang's mouth.
Strange to say, except for the older Liu Yuan, all the other sons would burst into earth-shattering tears whenever they were held by Liu Cong. But the two daughters were extremely close to Liu Cong. Xiao Yiguang Liu Cong was still in Jiangdong when he was born. Even so, it did not affect the closeness between father and daughter at all.
Sun Shangxiang, who was beside Liu Cong, curled his lips and said, "Just spoil them, they will be spoiled by you sooner or later."
"Husband, my sister is right, you are too spoiled to them." Chen Xiaoruan, who was cleaning a big herring by the pond, also turned around and said.
Liu Cong looked at his two daughters without raising his head, "Are you jealous?"
Sun Shangxiang stood up with Liu Chang in his arms and walked towards the stone pavilion not far away, "Come on, he won't listen. Let's go and eat fish."
"Hahaha......"
While several people were talking and laughing, a servant from the Hou Mansion came with Duan Kun, "I pay my respects to my lord."
Liu Cong handed the two daughters to Fan and Mi. He stood up and waved to Duan Kun, "Get up, what's going on?"
Duan Kun quickly told Liu Cong the results of the interrogation and investigation. While talking, he kept his head down and did not dare to look around.
Liu Cong touched his chin and said, "So, Cao Cao was already thinking about Gu's talent a year ago."
A year ago, it was when Pang Tong attacked Wancheng. In that battle, Liu Jun used the newly developed catapult. With the catapult, Liu Jun achieved significant results. Not only did he capture Wancheng, but he also forced General Cao Jun to attack Wancheng.
Cao Ren committed suicide!
"Continue to investigate, find out all the suspicious people in Jingchu, and dig out all the secret spies of the school affairs office in Jingchu."
"promise."
"How are you going to rescue Ma Jun and the others?"
After listening to Liu Cong's inquiry, Duan Kun explained Xiang Chong's plan again. Liu Cong walked to the grill and grabbed a carp that was grilled to perfection. "So, Xiang Chong has made a great contribution this time?"
It’s not that Liu Cong didn’t pay attention to Xiang Chong. He also paid attention to other people’s famous sons and descendants.
However, these people are still young, still in the education stage, or lack experience. On the other hand, Jingchu has no shortage of talents now. Liu Cong only wrote down these people and did not recruit them specifically.
"Yes, Xiang Chong can be of great use. The rescue plan he mentioned is also what I have in mind." Duan Kun bowed and answered.
Of course Liu Cong also understood what Xiang Lang and the others were thinking. In officialdom, isn't it just about avoiding risks and shirking responsibilities? This has been the case in China for thousands of years. Is this something Liu Cong can change?
Let alone officialdom, most people are like this. It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Very few people can be truly selfless.
Liu Cong could only try his best to correct the bad atmosphere in the officialdom, as long as they did not miss Liu Cong's important events. These were all within Liu Cong's acceptance range.
"This carp meat is very delicious. It needs to be roasted slowly over a low fire to produce such delicious food. Tongzhou, you have worked hard on this trip. Guyi will ask someone to bring you a few back."
"I would like to thank my lord for the gift."
"Now that you are aware of it, go ahead and do it."
"promise."
"Tongzhou, although this carp is delicious, it also has many thorns, so be careful if it gets stuck in your throat."
Behind Duan Kun, Liu Cong's voice came again. This meant telling Duan Kun that although Ma Jun and Ma Jun were good people, they could not be used by the enemy.
Duan Kun turned around and bowed, "I understand."
After Duan Kun left, Liu Cong came to the stone pavilion and sat down. Sun Shangxiang held the sleeping Liu Chang and asked softly, "What happened?"
Liu Cong smiled and said, "It's just some small things."
After having dinner with his wife and children, Liu Cong came to the study again. On his desk were two battle reports sent by Pang Tong.
One is Pang Tong's plan to attack Hefei and Shouchun, and the other is Zhou Yu's successful return with 100,000 people.
Sitting in front of the desk, Liu Cong chuckled and murmured, "Cao Mengde, do you want to develop military technology now? It's too late! Let's see how uncomfortable you are when I take Huainan."
Zang Ba was defeated, Pang Tong captured Lujiang, and Cai Mao captured Zhang Liao. The recent series of military victories made Liu Cong feel very good. If Pang Tong and Zhou Yu's plan succeeds, Shouchun and Hefei will be just around the corner, and Huainan will have to be named Liu.
.
Thinking of this, Liu Cong felt a little better.
Xing Daorong opened the door and came in to report, "Lord, all the officials from the six ministries are here."
"Let them in."
"promise."
"I will pay my respects to my lord!"
Liu Cong waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please sit down."
"Thank you, Lord."
When everyone was seated, Liu Cong picked up the military report on the desk and asked Xing Daorong to hand it to everyone, "Our army has been victorious in Huainan one after another. You all should take a look."
The minister ordered Jiang Wan to congratulate and say, "Congratulations, my lord. With this, Huainan will soon belong to my lord."
Liu Cong smiled and nodded, "If nothing else happens, it won't be a problem for our army to take Huainan, but I want to recruit troops."
