Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 570 Qingzhou Tiankai
Early the next morning, Tian Feng was escorted by a team of guards and headed towards Qingzhou.

At the same time, another group of people also left Luoyang City and headed towards Hebei. The purpose of this group was to go to Hebei to pay homage to the late Yuan Shao, and at the same time announced that Yuan Shao was canonized as the king of Xindu to assist Lu Bu. The matter of co-administration, but Yuan Shao's two sons, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, are currently at odds in Youzhou. The purpose of this traveler is to make the struggle between the two more intense, and at the same time take this opportunity to evaluate Yuan Tan He and Yuan Xi's forces were inquiring for news about Lu Bu's army's Northern Expedition. The leader of this group was none other than Zhen Hu, the son of Zhen's eldest son who once helped Lu Bu take Yecheng.

A few days later, when Tian Feng came to the territory of Qingzhou, he saw a group of people waiting in front of him from a distance. Although these people were not many in number, they were dressed in official uniforms of a big man, looking very formal.

"Hehe, I have long heard that Mr. Tian Feng is coming to our Qingzhou, and I have been waiting here for many days." Seeing Tian Feng and his party coming, an old man walked out of the crowd, and hurriedly stepped forward and said cheerfully.

Although this person claimed to be subordinate, he was quite old and had a high status in Qingzhou. This person was none other than Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai.

"How can I dare to have Lao Kong Beihai come here to greet me? I really feel ashamed." Tian Feng, as an envoy of the Han Dynasty, said this without humility. You must know that Kong Rong has long been a famous prince in the world. And Tian Feng is just a down-and-out scribe. Although he was treated well by Lu Bu, Tian Feng always felt that it was a shameful thing for him to surrender to Lu Bu after Yuan Shao failed. This led to Yuan Shao's crushing defeat, and finally cost Yuan Shao's life.

"Sir, you are being humble. You are an envoy of the imperial court. How can you treat him as an emissary? Originally, Governor Tian Kai wanted to come to meet him in person, but he was sent here because of the common affairs in the prefecture and county. I still hope Please forgive me, Lord Messenger." Seeing Tian Feng like this, Kong Rong continued.

It turned out that after learning the news that Tian Feng was coming to Qingzhou, Tian Kai called Kong Rong to discuss with him. Now that Yuan Shao has passed away, leaving behind two sons, they are at loggerheads. Not long ago, both sent envoys to ask Qingzhou to be loyal to them. .But Tian Kai and Kong Rong are smart people, so they can see clearly, knowing that the Yuan family's foundation will be annexed by Lu Bu in the near future, so they have different thoughts, want to contact Lu Bu, and look forward to being able to join Lu Bu's command If they are properly settled, they can preserve their wealth, and at the same time avoid bringing sword disasters to Qingzhou. With the strength of Qingzhou, it is impossible to survive alone in the troubled times, but it is better to find a strong backer.

"Hey, I, Tian Feng, are just a bereaved dog. It is already a crime to have Lao Kong Beihai, so how dare I labor Tian Kai, Inspector-Sir, this is what I should do. In fact, Kong Beihai must have known the purpose of my visit this time. I don't know Kong Beihai. What's Bei Hai's opinion?" Tian Feng didn't want to cheat in front of Kong Rong, so he asked straightforwardly.Although Tian Feng took this job in front of Lu Bu at the beginning, the purpose was to avoid the disaster of the knife handle in Qingzhou, Tian Feng must have been under Yuan Shao for many years, and he is also familiar with the situation in Qingzhou, knowing that Qingzhou has no power to resist Lu Bu anyway, but Everyone has their own ambitions. Although I have good intentions, I don't want Kong Rong and Tian Kai to think of me as a minister of subjugation.

"Hey, as the saying goes, the times make heroes. Lv Bu's current climate is not only the result of Lv Bu's own hard work, but also God's will. Heroes like Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao were all defeated by Lv Bu one by one. What can ordinary people do? They can only resign themselves to fate, not to mention using the well-being of the people of Qingzhou as a bet, I, Kong Rong, really don't want to." Hearing Tian Feng's words, Kong Rong sighed, and then Said slowly.It turned out that Kong Rong didn't have other thoughts, it's just that current events are stronger than others. At this time, Lu Bu's general situation has been established, and Tian Kai and Kong Rong are no longer able to deal with it if they want to deal with it.

"Hey, Kong Beihai must have known about Lu Bu abolishing the authority of the emperor and forcing the emperor to make himself the regent. Don't you have any ideas, Kong Beihai?" Kong Rong must be an old man from the Han Dynasty. He believed that he did not have deep feelings for the Great Han Dynasty, nor was he touched by Emperor Xian's current plight, so he spoke.

"I've heard about these things, and I only wish I had no power to do so. What if I raise Qingzhou's soldiers? What's more, the change of dynasties has its own destiny. How can Lu Bu change it." Speaking of this, Kong Rong suddenly said strangely. He looked at Tian Feng and then changed the subject and said: "Could it be that the purpose of this trip, sir, is not to come to Qingzhou to persuade him to surrender, but to test the intentions of Inspector Tian Kai and me?"

It's no wonder that Kong Rong doubted Tian Feng's purpose. The two must have talked about things. Not only did Tian Feng not persuade Kong Rong to turn to Lv Bu at all, but he was probing everywhere, which made Kong Rong inevitably have an illusion.

"Um, I thought too much. I thought that someone like you, Kong Beihai, who has been favored by a big man and famous all over the world, would not want to see a change of dynasty. But now it seems that this is not the case. No wonder Lu Bu dares to abolish His Majesty's authority openly." Speaking of this, Tian Feng did sigh, and then said.

"Mr. Tian Feng is wrong. I, Kong Rong, are not reluctant to part with this stinky skin. I just don't want the people of Qingzhou to suffer from swords and soldiers. That's why I hope that Qingzhou can reconcile with Lu Bu so that the people of Qingzhou can be saved. As for your majesty, I, Kong Rong, will naturally I will go to Luoyang and have a clear argument with Lu Bu." After being told by Tian Feng, Kong Rong finally expressed his plans for the future. It turned out that Kong Rong knew that once Lu Bu came to Qingzhou, he would not allow himself to take charge of Beihai. At that time, Kong Rong could have a good fight with Lu Bu in the court without any worries.

"I see. Kong Beihai has a broad mind. He is indeed a role model for my generation. Tian will definitely help Kong Beihai." Tian Feng took a step forward, took Kong Rong's hand and said seriously.

"Okay, let's go see Tian Kai to discuss Qingzhou matters." Seeing that Tian Feng is also a person who likes him as much as himself, Kong Rong laughed, and the two walked side by side holding hands, and headed towards Linzi together.

"Mr. Tian Feng, I haven't seen you for a long time. You still have the same demeanor." When Tian Feng came outside Linzi City, he saw a fat middle-aged man walking over with a group of civil and military personnel. The first person was Tian Kai.

"The governor of Tian Kai has been running around for the people of Qingzhou all day long, but he is thinner than before." Although Tian Kai is still a little bloated today, Tian Feng can still see that Tian Kai is hesitating for the future of Qingzhou, and at the same time he is also thinking about his own. Will hesitate in the future.

"Hey, Mr. Yuan passed away early, and I am isolated and helpless in Qingzhou. I really have no reason not to worry about it. I hope that Mr. Tian Feng will bring me good news when he comes from Luoyang this time." Tian Kai did not recognize his life, and directly Then the topic came to the purpose of Tian Feng's trip.

"Hehe, the purpose of this trip is believed to be very clear to Mr. Inspector. In addition, I also brought a gift during this trip." Speaking of this, Tian Feng took out a bright yellow satin from his arms. The scroll was passed to Tian Kai.

"Why is there still an imperial decree?" Seeing the bright yellow silk scroll Tian Feng handed over, Tian Kai was startled. Tian Kai is very familiar with this bright yellow scroll, which is exactly the style of the imperial decree.But now that Emperor Xian is in Luoyang, under the strict control of Lu Bu, it is obviously impossible to send the imperial edict, so this volume of imperial edict can only be sent by Lu Bu.

"It's not an imperial decree, it's just an edict issued by Lu Bu as the regent." After Tian Feng handed the scroll to Tian Kai, he opened his mouth and said that Lu Bu was going to confer the title of eight princes with foreign surnames to help Lu Bu assist the government. come out.

"I never imagined that Lu Bu would put so much effort into this Qingzhou for me. I think Lu Bu is bound to win Qingzhou." Hearing Tian Feng's words, Tian Kai was surprised at first, but then he sighed and said .Although Tian Kai knew in his heart that once he handed over the rights of Qingzhou to Lu Bu, the possibility of Lu Bu allowing himself to stay in Qingzhou was very small, but Tian Kai still had a fluke mentality and hoped that Lu Bu could stay in Qingzhou, even if he couldn't. Yongzhen Qingzhou can at least allow him to spend the rest of his life safely, but now it seems that this has become his extravagant wish.

"That's good, we can go to Luoyang and have a good fight with Lu Bu. What about the eight kings assisting the government, I'm afraid Lu Bu will shoot himself in the foot." Kong Rong who was next to him spoke at this time.Compared with Kong Rong's original thought of entering Luoyang alone, Tian Kai now has an extra identity as the king of Linzi. Obviously, there are only advantages and no disadvantages for future affairs in Luoyang.

"Hey." Compared to Kong Rong, Tian Kai sighed, knowing that for the rest of his life, it would be impossible for him to want peace.

"I wonder if Lord Inspector is willing to accept this edict?" Tian Feng asked, seeing the hesitation in Tianxin's heart.

"Can you tell me, sir, when Lu Bu is going to attack Hebei?" Knowing his destination after surrendering to Lu Bu, Tian Kai began to think about other places. He must be supported by Yuan in Hebei at this time. Tian Kai believed that the Yuan family would not fall for a day, and Lu Bu would not touch Qingzhou for a day.

"To be honest, when I left Luoyang, an envoy had already gone to Jizhou. The purpose was to use the throne given to Yuan Shao to make Yuan Shao's two sons fight more violently. And the food and grass for Lu Bu's Northern Expedition also I have already started preparations, and I believe we will leave soon." Tian Feng was telling the truth, there must be no need to play tricks with Tian Kai and the others on these things.

"So, sir, please take me to Luoyang together. Our Qingzhou is willing to surrender to the imperial court." Hearing what Tian Feng said, Tian Kai began to think about it. After a long time, he turned and looked at Kong Rong who was beside him, seeing Kong Rong nodded, so said with determination.
