Han Dao world

Chapter 667
Zhang Xi was shot at by Kong Rong and Mi Heng in turn, scolded bloody, and doubted his life.

The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt.

In the past few years, I have devoted myself to fighting against the forces of Bingliang and safeguarding the interests of Shandong scholar-bureaucrats. How did I come to this point and be reprimanded by two younger generations?

Zhang Xi couldn't figure it out, he was ashamed and angry, and fell ill.

Early the next morning, Yuan Shao sent someone to inquire about the news, only to find out that Zhang Xi was ill and had a persistent high fever.

Yuan Shao wanted to ask Kong Rong to clarify, but he heard that Kong Rong had returned to the city last night.It is said that when returning to the city, they shouted for a long time outside the city before they responded from the city.

Yuan Shao's heart skipped a beat, he hurried to the front camp to check, and asked if there was any smell of alcohol in the city.

The soldier in charge of looking out swallowed hard and nodded.

In the dead of night, they smelled the smell of alcohol in the city, and they were so hungry.Some people also saw the soldiers at the top of the city drinking and dancing, and singing songs all night long.

Yuan Shao's heart moved, and he asked again if he saw Liu Bei or Zhang Fei.

Several soldiers asked around, and they all said that they did not see these two people.Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are the backbone of the defenders in the city. Wherever they go, they are surrounded by the front and back, so they are easy to recognize.

Yuan Shao was very upset, but he didn't blame Feng Ji.

Feng Ji was right. The soldiers in the city fought to the death not only because Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were good at using soldiers, but because they were worried that they would be slaughtered like Chen Deng's subordinates.Instead of this, it is better to fight to the death, maybe you can still fight for a future.

In the final analysis, it was still Tian Feng's fault.

The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more angry he went back to the big tent, and ordered people to urge the examiner to withdraw his troops, and at the same time ordered the entire battalion to retreat.

Although he didn't plan to leave Pengcheng yet, there was no need to surround Pengcheng anymore.Anyway, there is no chance of winning Pengcheng. Keeping a close confrontation will only make the soldiers exhausted. It is better to keep the distance so that both sides can rest at ease.

Seeing Yuan Jun retreating outside the city, the soldiers at the top of the city burst into earth-shattering cheers.

The persistence of more than half a year finally paid off, and they won.Ordinary soldiers can get land and rewards, and generals will get official titles according to different merits. They all have a bright future.

Liu Bei was also very excited.

This time guarding Pengcheng, he not only got the clan affiliation he dreamed of, but also gained a rare experience.

Before that, he fought for many years, and except for fighting against the Yellow Turban, he hardly achieved a decent record.This time it was different. Facing the tens of thousands of Jizhou elites led by Yuan Shao, with only more than [-] newly recruited mobs, he fought hard for several months to defend Pengcheng and his dignity. He also gained a new understanding of the way to use troops .

He felt reborn, as if reborn.

Liu Bei immediately asked Kong Rong to be his envoy, and went to Chang'an with the military merit book.

After repeated consideration, he decided to accept the emperor's suggestion and move to Qingzhou to prepare for the war against Liaodong.

Of course, Jian Yong and Mi Zhu stayed, and he recommended Jian Yong as the Minister of Donghai and Mi Zhu as the Minister of Pengcheng.

In addition to rewarding meritorious service, Liu Bei also suggested to the emperor to implement Dutian in Pengcheng and Donghai.

In fact, it doesn’t work if you don’t spend the fields.The land he promised to the soldiers must be honored, otherwise no one will follow him to fight in Liaodong, and maybe there will be a mutiny.

Even Kong Rong, who strongly opposed Du Tian, ​​could not refuse this point.They argued repeatedly, and finally Jian Yong persuaded Kong Rong with one sentence.

It is better to carry out a selective trial of the field than to force it to be fully rolled out.

Since it is a trial implementation, if there are problems in the implementation of Dutian, adjustments can be made to accumulate experience for the full rollout in the future.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion has shown that land annexation has reached a time when it must be resolved, and no one can stop it.If you don't accept the emperor's approach of advancing slowly, you can only wait for the next Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Kong Rong was a person who experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He almost died on the battlefield because of this.

He also knows that it is difficult for him to make a difference in troubled times.If the trial of Dutian can bring peace, it is a good thing for both public and private purposes.

What finally prompted Kong Rong to go west was a piece of news he had just received.

Chen Gong was appointed as the prefect of Jiujiang, and he will try to save the fields in Jiujiang.Except for Jiujiang and Lujiang, the imperial court has no plan to implement Dutian in other counties of Yangzhou.

The emperor's attitude towards Dutian in Shandong was firm but cautious.

-

When Kong Rong rushed to Suiyang, Cao Cao had just recovered Suiyang City.

The review team withdrew and moved to Dingtao.

Originally, the trial match was unwilling to withdraw, even with Yuan Shao's order.

In the end, it was the reinforcements from Runan that forced him to withdraw.

After Yuan Shu regained Lujiang and beheaded Yan Liang, it caused a huge shock to Yuzhou.No one dared to blatantly support Yuan Shao and fight against the imperial court.Zong Cheng successfully collected enough food and grass, and recruited [-] troops, with a total strength of [-], and rushed to Suiyang.

Facing the murderous Zong Cheng, the judge and match knew that there was no hope of rescuing the siege, so they had to carry out Yuan Shao's order and retreat to Dingtao.

Before retreating, he sent someone to sneak into the city and sent a message to Shen Rong.

Surrender, save your life.If you have a chance, don't go back to Jizhou.Yuan Shao is indecisive and indecisive, and it is difficult to accomplish a major event. All the judges cannot be buried with him. You have to keep some hope for the judges.

Shen Rong immediately surrendered to Cao Cao and Zong Cheng, and Suiyang, which had been lost for nearly two years, finally returned to Cao Cao's hands.

Although he was extremely disdainful of Cao Cao, Kong Rong was still very happy to see the Jizhou army withdrawing and Suiyang recovering, so he stayed with Zong Cheng for two days.

During this period, Kong Rong met Han Yin, Huang Yi, Yuan Quan, Ma Yunlu and others who had just arrived.

Kong Rong deeply agreed with Huang Yi who joined the army.

He does not practice martial arts himself, but he is not opposed to martial arts.Yunwen Yunwu should be the higher pursuit of scholars.

But he was very disapproving of Ma Yunlu and others.

No matter how strong a woman is, she is not suitable for joining the army. This is an innate decision.There are yin and yang in nature, and men and women in human beings, and they cannot be forced to be the same.After all, the emperor was young, overcorrecting, and even a little arrogant.When he arrived in Chang'an, he must advise the emperor and ask the emperor to cancel the female army.

Ma Yunlu was very angry and wanted to argue with Kong Rong, but was stopped by Yuan Quan.

Yuan Quan said, to be reasonable, you can't talk to Kong Rong.With your hands, you can hit him ten times, but if you do this, you will only cause trouble for the emperor.People won't say that you are skilled in martial arts, they will only say that you are backed by the emperor and acted recklessly.

Let him tell you, when he arrives in Chang'an, the emperor will take care of him himself.

Ma Yunlu endured the matter involving the reputation of the emperor.

Soon after Kong Rong left Suiyang, Yuan Shu arrived in Suiyang.

Yuan Shu has received the edict and transferred to Youzhou Mu.He was very happy. After receiving the edict, he set off immediately and rushed to Suiyang without stopping to meet Huang Yi and Yuan Quan.

Contrary to Kong Rong's attitude, Yuan Shu was full of praise for Ma Yunlu.As soon as they met, he asked Ma Yunlu if he would go to Youzhou with him.The Central Plains has been pacified, and there are still wars in Youzhou, so there are a lot of opportunities for meritorious service.

Facing the confused Yuan Shu, Yuan Quan was speechless.
