[Three Kingdoms] Xinghan

The next day, Xiapi County, Chen's other courtyard, Qingfeng Garden.

Every six months, the children of the gentry in Xuzhou will hold a "Garden Gathering" here.

They came here from various counties and counties in advance to promote feelings and exchange news with each other.

The organizer, Chen Gui, had not yet arrived, but no less than 50 to [-] people had already gathered in the garden.

Their father and brother occupied almost all the important positions in Xuzhou's counties and counties.

As for those whose blood in the family is sparse and who can withdraw from official duties, it is not uncommon to come to participate in person.

At this moment, the garden is in full bloom.

These young scholars, drinking and admiring bamboo, inscribing poems, discussing the current situation, have everything that one expects to find, and it is very lively.

But if someone observes carefully, they will find that most of the disciples are a little absent-minded.

What lingers in their hearts is the most widely circulated story in Xuzhou city these days.

The young hero defeated the Montenegrin Army.

In the past, such a well-known and legendary event, no matter whether it is true or not, would definitely become one of the topics of discussion at the rally.

No one mentioned it today.

Because these gentry children almost all heard about another matter from the news channels in the family.

The young hero in the story is most likely the orthodox royal family, Changsha King Liu Ying.

The royal family, even the ones in trouble, can't just talk about it behind their backs.

After another half an hour, the Chen family was still nowhere to be seen.

Finally, the irritable young man couldn't hold back any longer, and said, "You must have heard about the young hero's defeat of the Black Mountain Army."

In an instant, the lively Qingfeng Garden fell silent.

Some people started, even if they were held accountable in time, they still couldn't ask themselves.

As a result, the powerful children of other families gradually became more courageous.

"Almost everyone in Donghai County knows about this matter. The common people have even guessed who the young hero and the white-clothed swordsman are."

"In the past few days in Langya County, this story has been talked about in the streets and alleys."

"The same goes for Xiapi."

"Before a certain came here, Guangling's rumors were not that strong. However, there are some news."

The rest of the children echoed.

It is nothing more than to say that this matter has spread widely and affected deeply.

But he never mentioned the credibility of this matter, let alone actively guessing the identity of the person in the story.

Until, another junior with a rash personality boldly said: "I heard that the young hero in the story is the eldest son of the Han emperor who escaped from danger a few months ago, His Highness Liu Ying, King of Changsha."

Qingfeng Garden fell into silence again.

After a while, someone murmured: "If it is really the king of Changsha, if this story is true, there is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty."

Someone whispered: "But this story is a bit bizarre, it always makes people feel..."

A certain kid next to him added for him: "Not so true."

"It's really weird."

……

"That's right!" A cold snort came from not far away, the voice was loud, completely different from the previous whispers: "I don't believe a single word of this story!"

The person who said this was a red-faced man leaning against the pavilion pillar.He is six feet long, has a leopard head with ring eyes, and a hulking waist, making him difficult to get along with.

Compared with the many noble children present, this person is obviously much older.

Seeing that all the disciples were looking at him, he stood up, walked towards the center of the scholars, and said, "I, Ruo Rong, have also heard of the name of the Black Mountain Army. They went down to the county one after another in Jizhou. They are so majestic! With only 3000 troops, they can Want to defeat fifty thousand Black Mountain Army and take tens of thousands of prisoners? Hmph, such lies can only be believed by rural people who have never seen the world. All of you here are talented people from Xuzhou, so you must not believe such rumors! "

"I don't know who made up this story, and now it's spread all over the city. In my opinion, we should investigate thoroughly, and immediately arrest the person who spread the rumor and put him in prison, and punish him severely!"

When Ruo Rong was young, his father was dismissed from office in the disaster of party imprisonment, and the whole family suffered a lot because of it.

Hearing that Dong Zhuo occupied the capital, stayed in the dragon couch overnight, and took care of his concubines, he could only feel a bad breath.

In the past few days, the story of the King of Changsha breaking the Black Mountain Army has been widely spread.

Ruo Rong didn't believe that the princes of the Han Dynasty could have such abilities even if they were beaten to death.

He pondered, at most, the Black Mountain Army wanted to attack Changshan County but failed and retreated on its own, and the King of Changsha happened to be in Changshan at the time, so he boasted about "luting the enemy with his body" and "taking over ten thousand prisoners".

Do you know what it means to capture tens of thousands of people with 3000 people?

Children can't even blow it, but they dare to blow it like this.

As for why King Changsha was able to escape from the siege of the Xiliang Army, it is presumably because of the protection of countless foolish and loyal people regardless of life and death.

Wasn't his father one of them?

Seeing everyone looking at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to stand on his side, Ruo Rong looked down on these scholars from the bottom of his heart.

He looked at the other person present and said, "Captain Cao, in the past year, you have fought countless battles with Master Zhou Mu. Why don't you tell me, is it possible that someone can defeat 3000 people with 5 people? Are there still tens of thousands of prisoners?"

Ruo Rong was certain that the whole incident was caused by the king of Changsha fleeing here in order to seize power in Xuzhou.

And since the King of Changsha even made up such ridiculous lies and spread them widely, it can be seen that he is not a wise man.

In this troubled world, even if Lord Zhou Mu is loyal to the Han family, he will never give any power to a waste prince, at most he will be well supported.

After being named, Cao Bao secretly scolded Ruo Rong in his heart.

The young hero defeated the Black Mountain Army, and it spread throughout Xuzhou in just a few days. If you think about it with your toes, you know that someone is secretly promoting it, and this person's power in Xuzhou is not small.

Wang Bacheng of Changsha came to Xuzhou, and no one knew what attitude Master Zhou would have towards that Highness.

He didn't want to get involved in this at all.

Cao Bao squeezed a smile, and said: "3000 people beat 5 people, and more than [-] prisoners. This kind of thing... Cao can't do it. But the world is so big and there are so many capable people. Can others do it? Cao will not know."

"Captain Cao is right," Ruo Rong said with a smile, "If Sun Wu were to come back to life, Bai Qi would be nothing to worry about. But this king of Changsha, Ruo has heard about it. He was weak and sickly, mediocre and incompetent since childhood. Disliked by the late emperor."

Having said this, someone immediately said: "Lord Ruo, be careful with your words!"

"That's right, the King of Changsha is the orthodox royal family no matter what, how can we discuss it."

Ruo Rong didn't care about the nominal accusations made by the scholars.

He could see that not only the princes from all walks of life in the world had little respect for the royal family, but even the scholars around him didn't have much respect left.

It seems that he is blaming himself, but in fact he clearly agrees with his own statement.

Just when everyone was talking about it.

The hosts of the garden gathering, Pei Guoxiang Chen Gui, Diannong Xiaowei Chen Deng and his son, surrounded by several attendants, arrived late.

"My friends, forgive me." Chen Gui, who was nearly [-] years old, cupped his fists at the young scholars present to express his apology: "The reason why my father and son are here at this moment is to wait for some news."

Chen Gui is highly respected, and the Chen family is the largest family in Xuzhou.

It made Pei Guoxiang wait for a long time, so he did not hesitate to delay the news of the garden party, and everyone present was interested.

"Dare to ask Mr. Chen," Ruo Rong, who was the closest at the moment, asked aloud, "I don't know what news made you wait so long?"

Chen Gui stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Naturally, it's the most lively thing these days."

Seeing that everyone was very concerned, Chen Gui smiled and said, "I have received reliable news that the heroic boy defeated the Black Mountain Army. It is not a rumor, but it is true. This person is the King of Changsha."

"Lord Zhou Mu went to Donghai County early yesterday morning to visit His Highness the King of Changsha in person. Because he only brought Mi Zong with him, few people knew about it."

The aged voice sounded a little muffled.

But it was really loud, like thunder on the ground, and instantly stunned all the scholars at the garden party.
