Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 125
"It's unreasonable!" In Jiangxia City, Jingzhou Mu Guan Yu, who had just taken office, was holding an article in his hand, and his hands were already bulging with veins grabbing it.This is exactly what Wang Can wrote to Liu Bei, asking him to kill Zhao Feng to comfort the hundreds of thousands of souls in Jingxiang.

"These guys, following Cai Maokuai to make more trouble, it's already a favor not to kill them, how dare they jump out and point fingers?" Guan Yu said angrily.Although this article was intended to kill Zhao Feng, as the highest military officer in this battle, this article undoubtedly slapped him in the face of Guan Yu.

"Your Majesty, calm down, this Wang Zhongxuan is a great Confucianist in the world, and he is famous all over the world, so he can't be moved easily." Seeing the murderous intent in Guan Yu's eyes, Zhuge Liang hastily remonstrated. "Kong Ming, why did Wang Zhongxuan fight against us?" Guan Yu was puzzled.

"Although Liang doesn't know what's going on, he can guess a little bit. This Wang Zhongxuan was inseparable from Cao Cao, and many of his relatives and friends died in the previous Jingxiang war. Right now, the high position of the prince cannot be changed, so he The next best thing to do is to take General Zhao's knife." Zhuge Liang sighed.Now that he is such a leader, coupled with the effect of his hometown complex, almost all the scholars in Jingzhou now regard Zhao Feng as an enemy.In addition to his great reputation, even many scholars in Yangzhou followed suit, that is to say, people in Xuzhou and Yuzhou did not buy his account.

"Forget it, Bo Tao is now in his birthday, let the elder brother deal with it!" Guan Yu also said helplessly.Zhuge Liang was silent when he heard the words. Just now, his family told him that his younger brother Zhuge Jun also signed a letter with several well-known scholars in Jingzhou, demanding that Liu Bei severely punish Zhao Feng.

Menacing ah!This is the only feeling Zhao Feng feels in Shouchun now.The crusade against him here is not so loud, but he can still know some things. Now Zhao Feng finally feels the feeling of being beaten.Fortunately, there are finally people who are willing to speak up for him. Just a few days ago, despite their busy schedule, Zhang Zhao and Sun Qian still wrote an article to defend him.Although the reputation of these two old men is not as famous as Wang Can and the Seven Sons of Jian'an, they are also well-known Confucian scholars in the world. Among them, Sun Qian is also a disciple of Zheng Xuan, and his influence cannot be underestimated.Right now, literati from all walks of life are having a great time fighting the battle of flooding Jiangling a month ago.

A few days later, Liu Bei announced that Zhao Feng, the former prefect of Lujiang and general Fenwei, would be relegated to prefect of Chaisang and concurrently appointed general Yingyang, and he would go to Chaisang immediately to take office.At the same time, Mu Guanyu of Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang of Diannong of Jingzhou, and General Liu Pan of Yangwei also fined their salaries for half a year, just to warn others.

"Bo Tao, it's menacing outside now, you'd better go to Chaisang to avoid the limelight." This is what Liu Bei personally said to Zhao Feng after the edict was issued.Looking at the apologetic old Liu in front of him, Zhao Feng said in silence for a long time: "Thank you, my lord, but even if my lord demoted me to the military, I'm afraid those people in Jingxiang will not settle down." Zhao Feng knew that Wang Can and Wang Zhongxuan seemed to be He is the head of the seven sons of Jian'an. This kind of person has always been very bold in his words, but he has a great reputation. Often the people in power can't do anything about them.For example, Kong Rong has been arrogant for so many years even under Cao Cao's rule.Now this Wang Can is making a big public opinion offensive, and Jing Xiang's heart is still uncertain, making himself and Liu Bei very passive.

"Bo Tao is worrying too much, even if they dare to babble, how can I let them go?" Liu Bei said with a trace of anger.Looking at Zhao Feng, Liu Bei sighed again: "Bei played Yangzhou pastor for Bo Tao twice, but he was dismissed. Now Bo Tao is not rewarded for his merits, but he will be demoted. Bei is really uneasy."

"My lord, why worry about it? The ruler is long and the inch is short. Feng knows that he may not be a shepherd in Yangzhou. Now Yuan Cao is fighting in the Central Plains, but our army is going to rectify Jingxiang. It is difficult to fight again. Feng should go Chai Sang, let's train." Zhao Feng wanted to comfort Liu Bei instead, which felt really awkward.

"Alright, Chaisang is just west of the Xiangjiang River. Bo Tao can also help his second brother and Kong Ming with the affairs in Jingzhou." Liu Bei thought for a while.After a pause, Liu Bei said again: "Bo Tao has been fighting abroad all year round, and he rarely gets together with his family. This time he will serve as the prefect of Chaisang, so let's take his family with him."

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhao Feng thanked.He also understood that Liu Bei wanted to make up for him.That's good too, since Diao Chan and I have been separated in two places all year round, we finally have a chance to get together again.

Chaisang is adjacent to Poyang Lake, and it was originally the place where Sun Ce trained his troops. The post of Chaisang prefect was also specially set up for military training. Compared with Lujiang prefect, who was a big official who guarded one side of the border, he was naturally inferior.As far as the official rank is concerned, the annual salary of the prefect of Lujiang is two thousand shi, but that of the prefect of Chaisang is only one thousand shi, which is of the same nature as the prefect of Wancheng.After Liu Bei took over Jiangdong, he also saved himself trouble, so he set this place as his training place.

The former governor of Chaisang was Chen Dao, now that Zhao Feng has taken over, Chen Dao has returned to Shouchun to serve.Zhao Feng didn't have much to do, which was to train recruits.After bidding farewell to Liu Bei, Zhao Feng and Diao Chan simply cleaned up, first went from Shouchun to their home in Wancheng, and then went to Chaisang from there.

"Husband, it doesn't matter if you were demoted this time?" Diao Chan asked worriedly on the way from Shouchun to Wancheng.

"It's nothing serious!" Zhao Feng comforted her while holding her hand.Since there were only two people and a few servants, Zhao Feng simply took a carriage with Diao Chan to Wancheng first.

"Your husband and my family have a great career, even if you don't become an official, are you still afraid that I won't make money?" Seeing that Diao Chan was still worried, Zhao Feng comforted her with a smile.But Zhao Feng also knew that the current Liu Bei was no longer the old Liu who was in Pingyuan County, or even in Xuzhou, who could be regarded as brothers with him, who had no scruples about drinking and eating meat.In the past, he would never pay attention to the few articles written by people like Wang Can, let alone demote himself for it.But in his heart now, appeasement is more important than brotherhood.What's more, I haven't made a deal with him yet.

Shouchun is not far from Wancheng, Zhao Feng and Diao Chan came to their home, Zhen Jiang and Zhen Mi had been waiting for a long time. "Brother-in-law, you are so miserable! People's officials are getting bigger and bigger, why are you getting smaller and smaller?" Zhen Mi said with a sad face.

"Time is fate!" Zhao Feng replied like a magic stick, habitually wanting to reach out and pat Zhen Mi on the head, not wanting that the little lolita has grown into a big girl now, this pat is really not smooth, so he had to swear stop.In order to hide his embarrassment, Zhao Feng also coughed dryly and said to Zhen Jiang, who pursed his lips and snickered: "Madam, let's pack up as soon as possible and go to Chaisang as soon as possible. This year we will celebrate the New Year in Chaisang."

"Alright!" Zhen Jiang replied, stopping her smile.A few days ago, Zhao Feng had sent someone to inform her that the house was almost cleaned up, and after a day or two at most, she could go to Chaisang.During the period, the current prefect of Lujiang, Buzi Buzishan, even visited him once. This old man just married his younger sister to Liu Bei, and he was promoted to be the prefect of Lujiang, so he was very proud.

Bu Zhi's younger sister, who was also the Bu trainer of the Eastern Wu Empress in history, was Sun Quan's favorite concubine.Being able to make Sun Quan, the big pervert, the favorite is enough to show his charm.But now that Sun Quan lives far away in Jiaozhou, he had to take advantage of Liu Bei.Of course, Zhao Feng also knew that this was also Liu Bei's attempt to settle the hearts of the old officials in Jiangdong, a typical political marriage.

At present, the two groups under Liu Bei have gradually become clear, that is, the Xuzhou group that followed him with earlier qualifications, and the Jiangdong group that later defected.Fortunately, neither of these two groups of people is too narrow-minded. Although the old Jiangdong ministers are somewhat xenophobic, most of them, such as Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi, were born in the Jianghuai area, and they still have a certain sense of belonging to Xuzhou.The rest of the former Jiangdong Wuhui Group scholars like Gu Yong are xenophobic, but under Liu Bei's kindness and power, and Liu Bei's benefits to them are indeed many, so they are relatively stable now.Although there were occasional conflicts between the two factions, they generally lived in peace.Now that Jingxiang has belonged to Liu Bei, I am afraid that a third faction will appear soon.As for Zhao Feng himself, he is a complete Xuzhou faction.

To be honest, Zhao Feng wasn't too worried about these factions. Didn't the great man just say that there are no gangs and no factions?With Liu Bei's employment methods, these factions should not be too infighting.Bu Zhi is not a fool, he knows that although Zhao Feng was demoted, this level of demotion can only be said to symbolically let him leave the cusp, and he will make a comeback in the future.There is no harm in taking advantage of his unlucky time to do Lala's relationship.

There were more than one smart person, who sent away the polite Buddies, Juchao County Magistrate Zhou Shan, Jurong County Magistrate Lu Xun and others also came to visit one after another, coaxing Zhao Feng to put on and take off his formal suit, and he was actually Met a customer for a day.In the end, Zhao Feng became a little impatient, so he simply took the two wives and Zhen Mi to take a boat to Chaisang overnight, leaving the butler to take care of the housework.

"Well, I've wanted to come to Jiangnan for a long time, and now my wish is finally fulfilled." Although Zhen Mi was already dead, she still had a very lively personality, and she never had a moment of peace even sitting on a boat.

"Little girl is still like a child!" Zhao Feng didn't know if he was talking to himself, or talking to Zhen Jiang beside him.Zhen Jiang gave Zhao Feng a white look. Although Zhen Mi vowed not to marry within three years, as her older sister, Zhen Jiang didn't know what was going on in her heart?It's a pity that the person involved is as if in a dream, which really makes people angry and funny.

Chaisang was once the administrative seat of Yuzhang, and later changed to Nanchang.Since the time of Sun Ce, this place has been used as a place for military training. The first prefect of Chaisang was Zhou Yu, Sun Ce's chief confidant.Time has passed, and that majestic and heroic Confucian general Zhou Gongjin has been turned into dust.

"Chai Sang was slaughtered by Cai Mao during the war before, and he hasn't recovered yet!" Zhao Feng sighed as he looked at the not-so-busy street.It was already November at this time, and it was only a few months before the New Year. By the time Zhao Feng settled his new home in Chaisang, it was already the middle of the twelfth lunar month.During this period, apart from training, he didn't have much to do.Most of the civil affairs in Chaisang City were handed over by Zhao Feng to Chaisang Zhizhong, who came with him to take office, while Lu Xun's brother Lu Yi took care of it, and only major matters were taken care of by him.

Time flies, and it is the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. "Master, these are some local products sent by Mr. Liu from Xiangtan just now." The housekeeper reported to Zhao Feng and brought in two large baskets at the same time.

"Oh?" Zhao Feng thought for a while before he remembered who this Master Liu was. It turned out to be Liu Biao who was at home.Xiangtan and Chaisang are only separated by the Ganjiang River, and Liu Jingsheng is too polite.

When I opened it, it was nothing more than some local specialties in southern Hunan, such as bacon. Zhao Feng was about to order the servants to clean up first, but he heard a hearty voice from outside: "Boy Zhao, my old Zhang saw you coming!"
