The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Many of the officials in the seat were shocked when they heard the words.

One person hurriedly got up, bowed down and said, "Duke Ming, just as Zuo Ye said, Xuzhou and Jizhou are both great states, and my Qingzhou is in the middle, the yellow scarves are rampant in the interior, and the interior is all enemies! The discussion is also for the sake of the people of our county and Ming Gong. Even if there is something that does not conform to the public will, it will not cause death! I beg Ming Gong to be kind and save his life."

Kong Rong raised his sleeves and said angrily: "Although Xu and Ji are strong, Xu invaded Yanzhou, and Ji fought for Youzhou. They were all without edicts, and they launched troops without authorization. Xun and Yuan Shao are not ministers, and everyone in the world knows it! I, Kong Wenju. A man from the state of Lu, how can you go back! Zuo Qi was afraid of thieves and persuaded me to follow Xu and Ji. This is not the first time he has said this to me. I have refused several times, and every time I have taken the blame seriously. , but he has not changed his teachings over and over again, and today he said it again, called 'holding the body', he really wants me to be a thief! His words cannot be tolerated, his heart is sinister, and he has to kill him. No matter how cruel and cruel Zhenzhi is, one day he will stay together, and he will guard the Beihai for the emperor for one day!"

A series of voices urged the officials who came in from the outside, "Drag them out and kill them!"

The person who asked for Zuo Qi begged bitterly, and said: "Ming Fu! Zuo Yesu has a clear name in the county, and now I know the enemy inside and outside the county. The officials are afraid that the hearts of the scholars in the county will be scattered! When the hearts of the scholars are scattered, why should the emperor guard the Beihai?"

Kong Rong said firmly: "I am familiar with all the great virtues and talents in the county, and they are all loyal men of the Naixin royal family! How could one's heart be dissipated by the death of a thief? On the contrary, I know from this. After my determination to defend the land for the Son of Heaven, I will definitely work with me to fight against thieves both inside and outside! Please don’t say more, I have made up my mind. Not to mention that the hearts of scholars will not be scattered, and the hearts of scholars will be scattered. I can't change my heart!"

The officials were waiting to drag Zuo Qi out.

Zuo Qi was also a little timid and showed no signs of panic. He broke away from the officials, stood up, straightened his clothes, punched Kong Rong, and said, "The lord of the government is famous all over the world, and Qi originally thought that the lord of the government could be protected. I, Beihai, only found out today, but Qi is wrong about the ruler of the government. The ruler of the government is virtuous and upright, but unfortunately he has no ability to control chaos. Sad! My land, Beihai, will fall into war. Sad! Swordsman."

Then, he also bowed at the official who was begging for him, and said, "Yixun, I agree with you, and we hate each other. Originally, I was thinking of helping the ruler together with you and accomplishing a big thing. Now it seems that , isn't it! Today, I have nothing to hate, but the old mother in the family is old and the children are young. I hope you can help me take care of it more."

In the end, he gave a slight bow to the many colleagues in the mansion present in the hall, and said with a smile, "When the soldiers of Xu and Ji arrive at our county, I hope you and the others can protect themselves! For the humiliation, don’t forget to ask Xu and Ji for mercy for Duke Ming.”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room proudly.

Kong Rong listened to his last words. Although he was not happy with the meaning of his words, he didn't realize that because of his loyalty to himself before his death, he felt a little touched, and he was willing to spare his life. The officers and soldiers moved quickly and brought Zuo Qi's head to the table.

Seeing Zuo Qizhi's head, whose blood was blurred, although he was already dead, there was a smile at the corners of his mouth, and Kong Rong's chest was filled with indescribable emotions. He calmed down, waved his hand, and said, "Hang to the city gate!"

Officers, you look at me, I look at you, and I am speechless for a while.

One person left the table, and Fu Bai said: "Ming Gong's loyalty and integrity can be seen in the sun! Xu and Ji Zonghan are so loyal to Ming Gong? Don't be fooled! Don't be afraid!"

The person who spoke was named Wang Mo, with the word Zifa.

This person and the other, Liu Ren, with the word Kongci, were the two officials in the Beihai Prefecture who were most trusted by Kong Rong.

Kong Rong was very pleased with Wang Mo's words, so he invited him to get up and said to the officials, "What Zifa said is the right principle! As long as you and I are of the same mind, why should you be afraid of the soldiers of Xu and Ji?" The official said, "Yixun, don't you think so?"

"Yixun" is the word, this person's name is Liu Qian.

At this time, he was not only saddened by the innocent death of his friend, but also worried that according to Kong Rong's political attitude of being ignorant of change and blindly loyal, he was afraid that, as Zuo Qi said, Beihai County would soon be plunged into military chaos. Ma, reluctantly made a respectful gesture and said, "Yes."

Kong Rong said, "I know that you and Zuo Qi are good friends. After hanging his head and showing it to the public for three days to show the people of the county that I am determined to defend the land for the emperor, you will take his head and share it with him. bury his body together, and give him the whole body."

Liu Qian replied, "No."

Back home that night, Liu Qian sighed and couldn't sleep at night.

When he left the courtyard, he looked up at Xingyue, only to feel that it was bleak.

Liu Qian hesitated for a long time, and remembered a sentence in Xun Zhen's "Dan Ge Xing", "Walking around the tree three times, what branches can you rely on"?

He thought to himself: "Kong Wen has the name of Shengde, but he has no military and political strategy. Since the Yellow Turban chaos, my Beihai has been plundered by several thieves, not to mention other counties, that is, my county governing the opera county, before and after, all I have been surrounded by Yellow Turban thieves two or three times, each time thanks to the rescue of Wang Shuzhi Xingye, but was not attacked by the thieves. As a county in Beihai, how can I suppress the Yellow Turbans internally and resist Xu and Ji externally? What the ancestor suggested was indeed the only way to save the people of our county from the misery of the war! But Kong Wenju didn't listen! He even killed him!

"Sorry for Chengzu! Sorrow for my heart!"

Thinking of this, Zuo Chengzu's face and smile appeared in front of Liu Qian.

The two would meet every time they were free, or during a rest or after a break, they would talk at night in the official dormitory, analyze the current situation, comment on the heroes from all over the world, give pointers and sway, and brainstorm a way out and future for Beihai and Qingzhou. Now, all of this has become a thing of the past, and it can only be left in Liu Qian's memory, and Zuo Chengzu, he can no longer hear his high-spirited arguments, and can't see his high-spirited appearance.

Liu Qian's heart was twisted like a knife, and tears rolled down.

He lifted up his sleeves, wiped away his tears, and then thought: "The day before yesterday, Chengzu and I were discussing the situation in Qingzhou, Xu, and Yanzhou. Since Xunzhen East occupies most of Yanzhou, my gateway to the west of Qingzhou, Licheng, has also If he is occupied by him, then Xuzhou will take my Qingzhou sooner or later! Kong Wenju can be a minister in order to rule the world.

"Since that's the case, I'll just go to Xuzhou first and go to Xunzhen East. In this way, when Xuzhou troops attack my Beihai in the coming day, I may be able to say some good things for Kong Wenju and the people of our county, so that they will suffer less. Disaster."

When his wife called him indoors, Liu Qian wiped away his tears and responded. After thinking for a while in the courtyard, he made a decision and said to himself, "Just do it!" Then he returned to the room and put himself on the ground. He told his wife of his determination and told her to pack for the next day.

Three days later, Zuo Qi's head was removed from the city tower. Liu Qian personally sewed his head to his torso, put his body on top of it, cried a lot, and arranged to be buried.

After the burial, Liu Qian took his family, as well as the mother, wife and children of Zuo Qi's family, escaped from Beihai, and went south to Xu.

…

Liu Qian arrived in Xuzhou a few days later.

Originally, when he entered the territory of Xuzhou, he was worried that he would be questioned and embarrassed by the generals of Xuzhou along the way, but he was beyond his expectations. , It is not much different from Taiping. This scene is completely different from the bad governance situation of Beihai County, where the yellow turbans are infested and thieves are everywhere. Moreover, when passing through these counties in Langya, such as Dongguan, Dong'an, and Yang'an, there is not much difference. After being interrogated, it was released only after he was asked about his intentions.

I don't know if Xuzhou's policy is really loose, or because he saw him dragging his family with his family and he was not alert to him, or Xuzhou didn't take it seriously at all about Beihai County, which is adjacent to the north, and didn't take it as a big deal. enemy?

Liu Qianduzhi is probably the reason for the last one.

When he arrived at Kaiyang, the county seat of Langya, Langya Prime Minister Chen Deng reported that it was Beihai Liu Qian's family who came to vote, and even personally welcomed him out of the house.

Liu Qian is quite famous in Beihai, and Chen Deng knows his name.

That night, Chen Deng hosted a banquet, and after drinking, he left his family and Zuo Qi's family to stay at the county palace for one night.

The next day, soldiers were dispatched to **** them to Tanxian County.

Kaiyang and Tanxian are both on the east bank of Yishui. With Chen Deng's arrangement, Liu Qian and the others no longer need to walk on foot. By boat, they can finally rest. After more than 100 miles along the river, he arrived in Tan County.

We got off the boat and headed not far to the east, with the county seat of Tanxian in sight.

Liu Qian noticed the civilian and military colonies on both sides of the Yishui River, and asked the soldiers who escorted them.

Although the soldiers did not know the specific details of the Juntun and Mintun, but as a member of the Xuzhou army, they also knew a thing or two. This is not a secret, so they told the truth.

Liu Qian was greatly impressed, and said in his heart: "Only from Kaiyang to Tanxian, the more than 100 li of fertile fields on both sides of the Yishui River can produce thousands of soldiers every year! I heard the soldier say that such a farm in Xuzhou, But it is all over the counties in the north and the south! The people are the foundation of the country, and farming is the foundation of the war. Xun Town went east by this method of arranging the fields, so that the refugees have been settled, and there is no shortage of military supplies. Xuzhou can be said to be fundamentally solid!

It's not Liu Qian's frog at the bottom of the well. It's like a small farm, and it's amazing.

In fact, although Tuntian is not a unique invention of Xunzhen, this method has been around for a long time, but in the context of today's turbulent wars, the meaning it contains is really remarkable.

Relieving the refugees and filling the army with rations are just two superficial benefits.

Most importantly, this means that Xun Zhen is not "the party that destroys the order", but that he is the "party that restores the order".

How can the war be ended? Violence with violence? Force is necessary, but not enough. Relying on force alone is not enough to stabilize the world. Production must be restored, and most importantly, "order" must be restored.

Tuntian symbolizes such a meaning.

The soldiers escorted Liu Qian and others to the outside of Tanxian County. com did not enter the city, so turned back.

Liu Qian's family, plus Zuo Qi's family, a dozen people, old and small, Liu Qian could not take them to the state capital of Xuzhou, so he temporarily left them outside the county and entered the city alone.

First, because Tan County is the county seat of the state and the East China Sea, and secondly, because it is relatively located in the hinterland of Xuzhou, the war outside the country cannot be burned here anyway. Therefore, compared with the counties in Langya County, the county is more lively. . When passing through the "city" in the west of the city, Liu Qian went in a circle. The shops in the city were one after the other, with a dazzling array of goods. Not to mention the people from the county who came to shop here, it was quite crowded in front of the shops that were in short supply. Liu Qian sighed and said in his heart, "I don't care that the prosperity of the Three Qi in the past is here again!"

When he arrived at the prefecture, Liu Qian cast a name thorn and asked to see Xun Zhen.

The official on duty led him into the side school, and asked him to wait here, enter the mansion, and report to Xun Zhen on his own.

But it wasn't anyone who said that if you want to see Xun Zhen, you can see it casually. Liu Qian brought a letter from Chen Deng, and the official on duty at the mansion knew that Chen Deng was highly valued by Xun Zhen, so that's why he notified him.

Liu Qian waited for half a day.

It wasn't that Xun Zhen was taking a big job, it was Xun Zhen who was discussing an important matter with Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Chen Qun, etc. The officials who reported the report did not dare to disturb him.

The person in question was a military report about Yuan Shao in Jizhou just received.
