Three Kingdoms King of the North

After everyone sat down in the hall, Kong Rong bowed his hands to thank Han Zhan: "On behalf of the people of Beihai, Kong Rong thanked the Lord for his kindness."

"Kong Beihai is welcome." Han Zhan replied with a smile: "I saw the envoy you sent for help and knew that you were in trouble. How could you refuse to save them? So he led his troops to come to the rescue at night. "

"May I ask you?" Kong Rong continued to ask, "How do you plan to deal with those captured Yellow Turban thieves? Do you want to kill them on the spot or drive them into the river and drown them?"

Han Zhan didn't expect that Kong Rong would still be obsessed with dealing with the yellow turban soldiers who had surrendered, so he said with a straight face, "Kong Beihai is bad, those yellow turban thieves are just honest farmers, and their homes were burned down by the yellow turban thieves." , and stole the food that was difficult to survive, in order not to starve to death and freeze to death, they had to be forced to follow the thieves. Since they have surrendered at this moment, they are the subjects of the big man, how can this Marquis kill them casually?"

Kong Rong saw that Han Zhan was unwilling to hand over Guan Hai, and he was not going to execute those yellow turban thieves, so he secretly regretted that Han Zhan and others should not have been allowed to enter the city.Just as he was thinking about how to see off the guests, he suddenly heard Han Zhan asking, "Kong Beihai, I wonder if there was a famine in Beihai in the past two years?"

Han Zhan's words made Kong Rong's face blush, and then he said a little embarrassedly: "To tell you the truth, in recent years, the yellow scarves have frequently made trouble, so that the crops have failed."

Before asking Kong Rong this question, Han Zhan knew that Beihai, as a county under Qingzhou, must be short of food, otherwise the Yellow Turban Army would not have rioted.If he wants to obtain Qingzhou, first, he can use military means, and second, he can make a fuss about food.

Jizhou has plenty of food and grass, so it is no problem to provide food to Beihai County, but the premise is that Kong Rong must submit, otherwise he will make wedding clothes for them.Thinking of this, Han Zhan said to Kong Rong: "To tell you the truth, Kong Beihai, the Marquis intends to use troops against Qingzhou during the autumn harvest to wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits and Gongsun Zan's forces in the prefecture, and bring it under the jurisdiction of Jizhou. I don't know when the time will come. Is Kong Beihai willing to help?"

Hearing Han Zhan's request, Kong Rong knew that the other party would never allow him to help in vain. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Fu Jun, I wonder what benefits Kong can get?"

Han Zhan was not afraid of Kong Rong's request, but he was afraid that he would not.Hearing what he said, he smiled lightly and said, "The Marquis is willing to provide food and grass for Beihai County, so as to help the people get through the lean season. I wonder if Kong Beihai is satisfied?"

As early as a few months ago, Kong Rong was worried about the shortage of food and grass in Beihai.He once went to Tian Chou, the governor of Qingzhou appointed by Gongsun Zan, to rob food, but he was mercilessly rejected.He was worrying about food and grass, and he couldn't help being a little moved when he heard that Han Zhan was willing to provide food for Beihai.

After Kong Rong took a sip from the tea bowl in front of him, he asked cautiously, "I don't know how the Fujun intends Kong to assist the soldiers and horses of Jizhou?"

"It's very simple," Han Zhan said with a normal expression, "How about asking Kong Beihai to lend us a road when Jizhou soldiers and horses attack Qingzhou?"

"Excuse me?" Hearing Han Zhan's request, Kong Rong immediately thought of the two idioms "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold" and "the false way is destroying Guo". He thought that Han Zhan would not attack Qingzhou in name, but in fact it was for Take your own Beihai County?Thinking of this, he couldn't help hesitating.

Seeing that Kong Rong didn't respond to him for a long time, Han Zhan guessed what the other party was worried about, so he said with a smile: "Kong Beihai, is it because I am worried that the Marquis will use false ways to destroy Guo?"

Kong Rong was guessed by Han Zhan, and he didn't hide his true thoughts.He nodded and said frankly: "That's right, Kong is worried about this."

"Kong Beihai," Han Zhan didn't want to play Tai Chi with Kong Rong on this matter, so he told him bluntly: "Since the Marquis wants to unify the four northern states, it will be a matter of time before Beihai County is brought under his command. If Kong Rong Beihai thinks about the common people, and if they want to save them from swords, it is better to submit to the Marquis as soon as possible. In this way, the people of Beihai can live and work in peace and contentment, and Kong Beihai can also enter the court as an official, and solve problems for the court and the current emperor. Why not do it Woolen cloth?"

A few months ago, Han Zhan had sent a letter to Kong Rong to persuade him to surrender.Although Kong Rong didn't do anything to tear up the book and behead the envoy, he ordered someone to drive the envoy out of Beihai.He thought Han Zhan had forgotten about it, but he didn't expect Han Zhan to persuade him to surrender in front of his face.

Although Kong Rong wanted to chase away the guests, considering the opponent's strong military strength, he had just defeated tens of thousands of yellow scarf bandits.Since he could not use force, he could only use delaying tactics, so he stood up, saluted Han Zhan deeply, and said, "Mr. Han, this matter is of great importance, and it is not Kong who can make the decision. The officials of Beihai County need to be called together , discuss it carefully, and finally give Fujun a satisfactory answer."

After everyone sat down in the hall, Kong Rong bowed his hands to thank Han Zhan: "On behalf of the people of Beihai, Kong Rong thanked the Lord for his kindness."

"Kong Beihai is welcome." Han Zhan replied with a smile: "I saw the envoy you sent for help and knew that you were in trouble. How could you refuse to save them? So he led his troops to come to the rescue at night. "

Chapter 374 Departing for Ye City

The master saw that Dian Wei had pulled out the iron halberd from his body, and was immediately frightened out of his wits.He was worried that if Kong Rong avoided seeing him again, Dian Wei might be in trouble if he really rushed into the backyard on impulse.He quickly sneaked into the backyard while Han Zhan and others were not paying attention, and went to inform Kong Rong.

Kong Rong discussed with the chief book last night. If Han Zhan asked about himself, he would say that he had caught a cold, and in order to prevent infecting others, he would not see outsiders for the time being.Kong Rong, who was lying on the couch with nothing to do, saw his master secretary crawling in, couldn't help frowning slightly, and then asked, "Master master, why are you so panicked?"

"Prefect, it's not good, it's not good." The chief secretary threw himself in front of Kong Rong, and said in a panic: "The vicious general next to Mr. Han is about to come in with a pair of halberds. Please do it early!" Decide."

Every time Kong Rong saw Dian Wei, he would feel terrified. He also became nervous when he heard the director said that Dian Wei might enter the backyard.He suddenly sat up from the couch, and said repeatedly: "What should I do, what should I do?"

The chief secretary hurriedly stood up, grabbed Kong Rong's arm, and said to him, "Prefect, staying here is a dead end. If we go out, there may be a chance of survival."

"However," Kong Rong said with some embarrassment, "If Mr. Han mentioned the matter of letting Beihai County surrender to Jizhou, how should I answer him?"

"Prefect," seeing that Kong Rong didn't want to go out, the master became anxious, "If you don't go out, the villain will rush in and kill you with a spear. As long as you die, Beihai will also fall into their hands." Listen After the master secretary stated the powerful relationship, Kong Rong couldn't stay in the room any longer, so he could only bite the bullet and walked out tremblingly.

When he came to the lobby, Kong Rong saw Han Zhan who had been waiting there for a long time, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said with a smile, "Mr. Han has been waiting for a long time. Kong feels cold and can't see the guests for a while, please." Your Majesty forgives the crime."

Han Zhan naturally knew the reason of Kong Rong's illness. He knew that it was not the best time to take Beihai, so he said with a smile: "Kong Beihai, this Marquis is here to invite you to Yecheng today. .”

"Go to Yecheng?!" Kong Rong didn't expect Han Zhan to say such words as soon as he opened his mouth. He couldn't help being stunned, and asked stupidly, "Why am I going to Yecheng?"

Han Zhan cupped his fists and cupped his hands upwards and said, "Kong Beihai doesn't know that the Holy Majesty is about to hand over to Yecheng. This Marquis would like to invite you to go to see the Holy Majesty together."

After hearing what Han Zhan said, Kong Rong turned his head and glanced at the master book beside him, and then asked puzzledly: "Isn't the current emperor in Jizhou City? When will he be handed over to Yecheng?"

"When Ben Hou went to Jizhou City to welcome him, he met Tai Shici, who was sent by Kong Beihai to ask for help." Han Zhan saw that Kong Rong knew nothing about Han Xiandi's departure for Yecheng, so he explained to him: "Ben Hou then divided his troops and went to Jizhou to meet Shengjia and go to Yecheng; he himself led an army to Beihai to relieve the siege."

"So that's how it is." After hearing Han Zhan's explanation, Kong Rong felt dumbfounded.He guessed that Han Zhan definitely wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of inviting him to Yecheng to send people to control Beihai.Although he wanted to resist, he was powerless.He thought for a moment in his heart, and finally he could only say helplessly: "Since Shengjia has arrived in Yecheng, then Kong, as a subject, will naturally go to Yecheng to meet His Majesty."

Seeing Kong Rong's reluctance for this place, Han Zhan added: "Don't worry, Kong Beihai. During your absence in Beihai, you can hand over the seal and ribbon to the master. In addition, this Marquis will leave another army , to assist in the defense here, lest there will be any young people who come to attack Beihai."

Kong Rong looked at Han Zhan and thought, "Except for you, no one would think about Beihai now." But these words can only be said in his heart, and on the surface he said politely: "Since it is If that's the case, Mr. Laofu will have to worry about it. But I don't know when we will leave?"

"The army outside the city is ready and ready to go at any time." Han Zhan said to Kong Rong with a smile, "If it's convenient for Kong Beihai, why don't we go now?"

"Okay, okay, let's go now." After Kong Rong said this, he turned around and walked to the table, picked up the wooden box with the printed ribbon, handed it to the master book, and said to him: "I'm not in Beihai. For the time being, I'm counting on you here."

"Please don't worry, the prefect." The master took over the box containing the printed ribbon, and replied respectfully, "This subordinate will definitely fulfill his mission."

Seeing that Kong Rong had handed over the seal and ribbon, Han Zhan urged him, "Kong Beihai, the army is still waiting outside the city, let's leave now."

Kong Rong didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly ordered someone to find a group of his own guards, and followed Han Zhan and others to the outside of the city.When he left the city from the south gate, he unexpectedly discovered that the defenders here had all been replaced by Jizhou soldiers and horses, but none of the soldiers from Beihai could be seen.

Seeing Kong Rong looking around, Han Zhan quickly said to him, "Kong Beihai, it's like this. Your soldiers have worked hard defending the city, so the Marquis' subordinates asked them to go back to rest first, and temporarily replace them on duty here. "

Kong Rong found that all the gates of his city were under the control of Han Zhan's soldiers and horses. He didn't understand what was going on in his heart. It was all about stealing.But on the surface, he still had to express his gratitude to Han Zhan with a forced smile: "Mr. Han is really considerate. On behalf of the soldiers and civilians in Beihai, Kong thanked you."

"Kong Beihai is being polite," Han Zhan said with a smile, "You and I are both courtiers of the great man. It is our duty to protect the land and the people, so there is no need to be so polite."

"Mr. Han, the yellow turban thieves who besieged the city have just been broken, and the people in the city are not stable. Kong needs to rush back to Beihai to calm the people." Kong Rong waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, and asked tentatively: "I don't know how many days before I can return to Beihai? "

"Why does Kong Beihai need to be in such a hurry?" Han Zhan replied, "When we arrive in Yecheng, I must treat Kong Beihai well as a landlord, and it will take three to five months. You can come back in such a hurry."
