The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yan finished reporting, and after a while, a voice came out in the car unhurriedly: "General Xun is here? Wait a moment, wait for me to get off the car to greet me."

Xun Zhen said: "The general is far away, the road must be hard, and I dare not work the general to get off. The county town is not far ahead. I will ask the general to guide the general in front, and please enter the city." After saying this, he asked the car to Zhong Yi nodded, turned and left.

Li Yan was stunned, watched him leave, then glanced at the car again, hurriedly chased after him, and said, "Marquis Xun, please stay, Duke Kong will get off now."

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "Kong Gong is coming from a long distance, the road is hard, please ask Gong Gong to get in the car and let me lead the way." As he spoke, he kept walking and walked forward.

Li Yan wanted to stop him, but he couldn't be rude, so he had to watch Xun Zhen leave.

Xi Zhicai, Xun Cheng and others, plus Le Jin, Guo Jun, Du You and others who were originally in Kong Yu's motorcade, followed one after another and left with Xun Zhen.

Le Jin had previously traveled 30 li from the county to Ying Kong with the county officials and scholars, but they had gone by car. Now that Xun Zhen was walking, he stopped taking the car and followed on foot.

As he walked, he thought in his heart: "My lord gave Kong Dian a third of his face, and came to pick him up, but he took it big, and asked someone to call the lord to meet him at the front of the car, and put his fine armor in front of the car, and Xun Zhongren led elite soldiers to meet him. , The previous matter of disposing of his horse is in the past. The lord only regarded it as his counterattack, or he could bear it. However, the lord was in front of the car, but he had to take an inch. He still sat high in the car, and left the lord out. If he waits for him to get off the bus, he is not sure how he will take it! After all, he is the governor of Yuzhou, and he has an alliance with the lord. If he takes it, the lord will not be able to tear his face on the spot. Best of all, it can be regarded as a tribute to Kong Yu's excessive arrogance."

Le Jin admired Xun Zhen's emergency response.

Seeing that he had walked more than a hundred steps and entered the battle of the two thousand elite armors, there was still no movement in Kong Duo's car, Xi Zhicai looked back and thought: "This Kong Duo doesn't seem to be improvised. Talent, despite being famous, is actually hard to match."

Xun Zhen was summoned by Li Yan in front of the city, and moved to the front of the Yuzhou army. Then, turn around and leave. This is definitely beyond the expectations of Kong Yu, who is "raising his eyebrows". If Kong Yu is talented, he will not be unresponsive at this time, but the car has been silent so far, and there is no other person in the car. The reason for this could only be because Kong Yu suddenly encountered this change and was shocked and didn't know how to deal with it, so he had nothing to say and no orders to issue.

When Xun Cheng went, he took 1,500 cavalry with him. At this time, these troops were behind the Yuzhou army. Xun Cheng followed Xun Zhen out of the armored formation. After receiving Xun Zhen's order, he immediately got on his horse and walked from the side road. Turning around, I took these cavalry around the road and went back to the base camp.

Yue Jin, Guo Jun, Du You and others approached Xun Zhen's side.

Le Jin said to Xun Zhen, "Jun Hou, after I met Uncle Fang, on the way to the county, Uncle Fang treated me coldly and ignored me."

Guo Jun said, "After Brother Zhongren and I caught Uncle Fang at the county boundary, Brother Zhongren took the initiative to ask Ying to clear the way for Uncle Fang, but Uncle Fang stayed in the army and followed him."

Xun Zhen smiled and said nothing.

Guo Jun added: "When Fang saw Brother Zhongren and I were with me to welcome him, he asked me privately, how many soldiers and horses the prince brought into the county, how much food and grain he brought along with him, and he asked the prince to divide his troops and send them to Fucheng and Yanling. What do the counties mean?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "How did you answer?"

Guo Jun replied: "I will answer with the truth: When the lord entered the county, he brought 20,000 troops. After he entered the county, there were many strong men from Yingchuan, and the number of troops increased by several thousand in ten days. There are not many, but after entering the county, the rank and file of the county will greet him, and the county and county will provide food to serve; the prince and the lord divide their troops to the north of the county and the south of the county to communicate with Suanzao and welcome General Sun to enter."

"What did Yuzhou say?"

Guo Jun replied: "No more words."

Xun Zhen smiled again and said, "You don't have to follow me, just wait for Kong Yuzhou here."

Le Jin, Guo Jun, Du You and others were county officials and scholars in Yingchuan. They were originally there to welcome Kong Yu, but now Kong Yu is welcoming him.

Le Jin asked: "Kong Gong is here now, and he was originally scheduled to wash the dust for him at night. Will the lord come?"

"I won't go. Wen Qian, please tell Yuzhou on my behalf. In order to boost morale and prepare for the battle against Dong, I will review the troops tomorrow. If Yuzhou is free, please come to my camp to watch."

"Reviewing the troops" was not an idea that Xun Zhen came up with temporarily, he had already planned to do so. There are a lot of new soldiers in his army, all of whom have never been on the battlefield. The battlefield is a place of life and death, so some people are bound to be afraid. Seeing that there are so many comrades, those who are timid and afraid may also become bold, and their morale will also be high.

Le Jin replied, "No."

Le Jin and others were left to wait for Kong Ni, Xun Zhen, Xun You and others turned to the south of the city, and returned to the base camp after Xun Cheng's cavalry.

Halfway through the road, when he heard the sound of drum horns, Xi Zhicai looked back on the road and saw that the Yuzhou military horses did not resume their action until this time.

However, it was said that in the Yuzhou army, not only Kong Ni was sitting in the car of Kong Duo, but there were also two or three officers and captains whom he trusted, and Li Yan was also among them.

Kong Yu is a celebrity of the older generation. He is in his fifties this year. His beard and hair are thin, and his turban is folded at a corner, but it is a "Lin Zong scarf". , at this moment, his face is not very good-looking.

There was a man sitting opposite him, about forty years old, with a clean appearance and a very lush beard under his chin, which perfectly matched the sparse and sparse beard of Kong Hao. This person's name is Kong De, a native of Lu, who is of the same clan as Kong Rong, and is currently engaged in the state.

The Confucius family in Lu State was descended from Confucius, a descendant of sages, and heirs of scriptures and books. Before Kong Rong, Kong Bao, Kong Fang, etc., all served as state middlemen. When Kong Rong was in the state, Kong De had not yet entered the mansion.

Kong Yu was also surnamed Kong, although it had nothing to do with the Kong family of Lu, but after all, they had the same surname, so when Kong De entered the mansion, he was very much used by him.

Seeing Kong Dian sitting in the car at this time, his face blushed, clutching the whisk tightly, his chest fell together, obviously very angry, Kong De persuaded him a few words, and then said: "Although Xun Hou is a son of the Xun family. However, looking at his past, he was promoted by military merit. He has been with his troops for a long time, and he often fights. It is inevitable that he will be violent and rude, act recklessly, and lack etiquette. Fang Bo does not have to care about him too much. ."

Kong Dian was the prefect of Benzhou, and he was a general in charge of conquests. He came to Benzhou County, but Xun Zhen was "disrespectful" and made him angry enough. He wanted to come to Yingchuan to meet with me. I was quite happy. I thought that after he came, I would not be weaker than Jizhou or Suanzao in Yuzhou, but I didn't expect that this son would be Such rudeness! First, I deliberately greeted me with elite soldiers, and then without my consent, they divided their troops into the north and south of the county. Thinking of himself and despising me, is this Yingchuan of Yuzhou, or Yingchuan of his Xunzhen? Even if he is a native of the county, he can't deceive me like this! It's unbearable, it's unbearable."

Having said such a great knowledge, he felt that it was not enough, and said: "Although he is the Marquis of Yingyin and the prefect of Erqianshi, but this time the army is only a general Jianwei. Above him, how can he be so rude, so rude!"

Among the generals of the Han family, although the miscellaneous numbers are lighter than the numbers, just like the Taiwei is slightly higher than the Situ, the miscellaneous numbers are divided into different categories, and the most valuable ones are the generals of Sizheng and Sizhen. , namely Zhengdong, Zhengxi, Zhengnan, Zhengbei and Zhendong, Zhenxi, Zhennan, and Zhenbei, these eight generals are slightly higher than other miscellaneous accounts, and they are the most honorable among miscellaneous accounts.

Kong Dian was represented as a "general of expeditions and expeditions". This expedition general was not one of the "four expeditions", but had the word "zheng". Therefore, in Kong Dian's self-confidence, he was higher than Xunzhen.

——From this point, the difference between Kong Yu and Xun Zhen can actually be clearly seen. Xun Zhen didn’t take the title of “General Xing Jianwei” seriously at all. In front of the county officials in Manyuan, he said to himself that this general's name was only for the convenience of fighting against Dong, and he couldn't be regarded as a real general. He also subjectively improved the status of his own general title, consciously being higher than Xun Zhen, cherishing the broom, and placing more importance on the name than the real, but it was a laugh.

Li Yan said, "What Duke Ming said is very true."

Conte said: "Ming Gong, please calm down."

"Outside the county, in the military department, in front of the people, he is so contemptuous of me, everyone sees it, how can I calm my anger?"

If Xun Zhen did not give Kong Ni face in private, Kong Ni might not be so angry, but just now Xun Zhen refused to give him face in front of Kong Ni's subordinates. Being so slighted by Xun Zhen, those soldiers and soldiers would know how to think? What would you think of Kong Yu? Will you underestimate him? Will he make fun of him behind his back? At the same time, the county officials and scholars of Yingchuan County also saw this scene. Seeing the shameless behavior of those county officials touting Xun Zhen, they would definitely not keep it a secret for Kong Yu, and would definitely spread the matter. After a long time, the scholars from all over Yingchuan County will definitely know that he was embarrassed by Xunzhen, and the scholars from various counties come and go diligently. In time, the whole Yuzhou and the whole country will know about this. When, what kind of reputation will the family get? How many people will make fun of him?

Thinking of this, Kong Yu felt his face get hot and he was restless.

Then I thought that if I lost prestige because of this, what face would I have to lead the army in the future? What face is there to give orders to the generals and colonels in the army? What other face makes a majestic gesture to let them obey the dispatch?

The same is true for the troops, and the same is true for the counties in the state.

Thinking of this, Kong Ni felt that Xun Zhen had violated his authority, and was filled with resentment, gnashing his teeth, and hating Xun Zhen even more.

He clenched his fist and slapped it on the mat fiercely. In his anger, he forgot that he was still holding the whisk, and was almost caught by the scattered whiskers. He hurriedly released his hand and threw the whisk aside. He said: "My anger is unbearable, Zhu Qing, you say, how should I avenge this great revenge?"

Hearing that Kong Dian had escalated the matter to the level of "Chou Yu", Li Yan and Kong De looked at each other and all remained silent.

How can I get revenge? Wouldn't it be possible to light up soldiers and horses and Xun Zhen fire?

In the final analysis, Kong Duo did something wrong himself, and no one can blame him.

Although Xun Zhen sent elite soldiers to give Kong Dian the horse power, it was only because everyone knew it well but could not put it on the stage to criticize Xun Zhen, because Xun Zhen could have replied: He was showing respect for Kong Dian. , so they sent troops to meet them. What's more important is that after Kong Yu arrived, Xun Zhen also went to greet the minister outside the county in person.

Kong Yu's best response should be to eat this secret loss first, and then slowly find an opportunity to take revenge. But Kong Mi couldn't bear his temper, but he asked people to call Xun Zhen from outside the county to the army, and he set up a fine armor array. Xun Zhen got to the front and back of the car and sat high in the car, ignoring it for a while.

Let me ask this question: Xun Zhengui is a county marquis, and his name is far higher than Kong Yu, and he has great military exploits and a strong army. If you really want to say something rude and rude, in the eyes of Kong De and Li Yan, Kong Yu is the rude and rude.

Kong Yu said angrily, "Why are you all silent?"

The few in the car were all frowning and looking at each other, not knowing how to answer Kong Hao.

Kong De was a little anxious and thought: "Xun Hou is good at fighting, and Sun Jian, who will join forces with him in the future, will also be a fierce general. Although Fang Bo is a high-ranking and famous person, the director is not in the army, and he is not the opponent of the two of them. Moreover, Xun Hou He is a native of Yingchuan, and the people's will, even the prefect of Yingchuan can only hang his seal and return. , it is extremely difficult to listen to my persuasion, I must not be rebellious, I should go with my heart and follow my words first, and then find an opportunity to persuade Fang Bo to put out his anger."

He opened his mouth and said: "Xunhou prides himself on his meritorious deeds and despise Duke Ming, which is indeed hateful, but Duke Ming is respected and respected in the sea, and now he has gone to Yingchuan to exterminate thieves for the country, millions of people and tens of thousands of soldiers in Yuzhou. While waiting for Duke Ming's order, it's not worth breaking the body for such popularity and delaying major events. The officials and officials of Yingchuan County are waiting for Duke Ming's arrival, and the magistrates of all counties are also waiting to obey. Duke Ming's general order, Duke Ming might as well go to the county first, set up military orders, and then order Xun Hou to come to the army and reprimand him."

It was also "Looking at the Sea", and "Millions of civilians, tens of thousands of soldiers, officials and officials of Yingchuan, county magistrates are all waiting for orders." He said to himself, "Xun Zhen's son is proud of his merits and despised me, and although it is a temporary disgrace to me, Bo Sheng is right, I have more than 40,000 cavalry under my tent, and the commanders of all counties in Yingchuan bow their heads. Tie Er, wait for my order, his Xun Zhen child is arrogant and his Xun family is a famous family in Yingchuan, but he is a 'guest army' after all. , to see what he has the ability to dare to compete with me~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I will let him come to our army sooner or later and plead guilty."

Bo Sheng, is the word of Conde.

There is a worry, deep in Kong Yu's heart, that he has never told Kong De and others.

Yuan Shao seized the throne in Jizhou, and held the prefecture of Dezhou as a little prefect. Han Fu was forced to bow his head and obey orders. Ever since he heard that Xunzhen was coming to Yingchuan to join his apprentice, Kong Ni kept thinking: Xunzhen is good at fighting, so he should join his apprentice. , it is beneficial to raise his own position in the coalition army, but if Xun Zhen does not obey orders, and instead wants to occupy the magpie's nest like Yuan Shao, and take the lead, how should he deal with it?

It was precisely because of this worry that after the worry became a reality and Xunzhen gave him a disgrace, he wanted to fight back immediately, but he didn't expect that the counterattack failed, but instead caused him to suffer even greater humiliation. After being embarrassed, he comforted himself with the fact that his army was strong and Xunzhen's army was short of food, but for some reason, he still couldn't feel comfortable and felt a little panic.

Under the warm sun, the road was slightly soft and not as hard as when I walked in the morning, and the car was not moving fast. Sitting on the thick cushion in the car, I didn't feel bumpy at all. Kong Du opened the curtain of the car and looked out. He saw the knights in armor and armed with geese riding horses to **** him around his car. He heard the loud noise of infantry and cavalry marching from the front and back, and he felt relieved.
