The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The day after Xun Zhen arrived in Ren Ye County, a messenger from Yu Du arrived.

The messenger was thirty years old, with a full face, short and stout body, armor and swords.

Dian Wei, Yuan Zhongqing, and Zuo Bohou stopped him and told him to remove his armor and go to the sword.

The messenger was not as tall as Dian Wei, Zuo, and Yuan, and his imposing manner was not inferior. He took a half step back, raised his head and pressed his sword, facing Dian, Yuan, and Zuo, and said domineeringly: "Since my general raised the army, Jia Jian has If you don't leave your body, even when you go to bed at night, the sword is also beside the pillow. Why? Because I heard people say: 'The swordsman, the gentleman's military equipment'. How can the gentleman's military equipment be released? You still won't make way for me !"

"The swordsman, the gentleman is armed, so he guards the body", this sentence comes from the former Han Dynasty Jun Budo. At the end of Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty, the thieves of the county and the country rose up, and the victorious ones became the direct-pointing messengers, who embroidered clothes, held an axe, chased down the thieves, oversaw the county and the country, and used the wartime military law to punish those who did not obey orders. Bohai County, Jizhou, dispatched officials to invite famous people from this county to meet Jun. Jun Buxuan brought a sword with a ring, a sash and a robe, and went to the door in full clothes. The official wanted to make the sword unravel, but Jun Buxuan refused to explain because he said, "Swordsman, gentleman's military equipment".

Dian Wei, Yuan, and Zuo didn't read and didn't know this allusion, but they knew the meaning of "gentleman". Yuan Zhongqing looked at the messenger and said in his heart: "As far as your honorable appearance is concerned, you are not as good as me, ten percent of the time. With the appearance of a bandit, he dares to call himself a gentleman!"

Yesterday, when Xun Zhen went to the county, the officials of the county and county were disrespectful, but Xun Zhen could endure it, but Yuan Zhongqing and others had long been full of anger. Seeing that the messenger of the leader of the bandit dared to take such a big deal today, he was arrogant and rude, and with a "bang" sound, Yuan Zhongqing pulled his sword half out of its sheath, forced the first half step, and frightened the messenger, saying: "I am sitting in the hall. You, the county has two thousand stones! According to the rules, I will meet the two thousand stones, disarm and remove the sword!"

The messenger stared, holding the hilt of the sword tightly, and said loudly: "Last year, the emperor's messenger came to Wei County to ask to see my general. I will remove my sword and remove my armor! The envoy of the Son of Heaven has not let me disarm my sword, let alone two thousand stones in a county? Is two thousand stones more noble than the envoy of the Son of Heaven?"

Dian Wei was furious, he was about to step forward with his halberd, and heard Xun Zhen in the hall say, "Awei, please come in."

The messenger snorted, and under the glare of Dian Wei, Yuan Zhongqing, and Zuo Bohou, he swaggered through them without taking off his shoes.

There were not many people in the hall, Xun Zhen sat in the main seat, Liu Bei, Xun You, Xuan Kang, Li Bo, Wang Cong and two government officials on both sides. The messenger stood in the hall, first glanced at Xun Zhen, then looked around to look at Liu Bei and the others, and after a random look, he did not kneel and bowed, and only walked slightly to Xun Zhen. He said: "I am in military uniform, I am sorry that I cannot pay homage in a big ceremony."

Not going to the sword armor, wearing shoes, and refusing to pay homage when seeing Xun Zhen, this messenger is really arrogant and arrogant. Liu Bei, Xun You and the others all showed anger on their faces.

Xun Zhen asked calmly, "Are you Yu Du's messenger?"

"Exactly, my general asked me to send a letter to the manor." The messenger took out a letter, held it with one hand, and showed it to Xun Zhen.

Xuankang got up from the table, came to the front, took the letter, and forwarded it to Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen opened it to watch.

There are not many words on the letter, only a few words.

Xun Zhen just watched it and laughed.

Wang Cong couldn't help but ask: "What did you write in the poison letter? Why did Duke Ming laugh?"

Xun Zhen handed the letter to Xuan Kang, signaling him to pass it to everyone to see.

Xun You read it first, and after reading it, he also smiled and said with a smile, "Does Yu Du take him as Zhang Feiyan?"

Liu Bei watched it for the second time. After reading it, he also laughed and said with a smile, "It's a pity that Duke Ming is not Wang Fangbo."

Yu Du's letter was very simple and divided into two parts. The first part of the letter simply congratulated Xun Zhen on being promoted to the prefect of the county, and the second part of the letter asked Xun Zhen to borrow food. same.

However, Yu Du wanted to learn from Zhang Feiyan, but Xun Zhen was not Wang Fen.

After Wang Cong and other officials read the letter, Xun Zhen asked, "Yu Du asked my county to borrow grain, how do you think I should answer him?"

Among the government officials present, Wang Cong has the highest status. He is the postal supervisor in the western region. His status among the county government officials is second only to Wu Guan Zhuo, Gong Cao, and the master bookkeeper, but he refuses to speak. No matter what Xun Zhen said, he would respectfully obey his orders. He didn't open his mouth, but a Baishi government official who was under his seat opened his mouth and replied worriedly: "Ye County is not an enemy of the poisonous soldiers, so it is better to promise to lend it to him."

Hearing the government official's soft words, the messenger arrogantly looked at Xun Zhen and waited for his reply.

Yu Du's letter circulated around and returned to Xun Zhen's case. While he put it back in the envelope, he asked the messenger with a pleasant face, "Are you here alone?"

The messenger said proudly: "I brought fifty soldiers with me. They are all warriors under my family's general's account. What? Do you want to see and learn?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "You can bring 50 people, or you can bring 100 people, I don't want to see them, I just want to know if you came alone.  …, as long as you don't come alone, it's fine. ."

The messenger was startled and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"I have something for you, Qu Shuai. If you bring it yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to deliver it."

"What gift?" The letter was filled with enthusiasm.

"Your head."

Before the messenger could react, Xun Zhen gave an order, and Dian Wei, Yuan Zhongqing, and Zuo Bohou outside the hall rushed into the hall, knocked him down, and dragged him out. Not long after, Yuan Zhongqing presented his head.

Xun You, Xuan Kang, Li Bo, etc. had followed Xun Zhen for a long time, and they knew his "ruthless" methods. Means, I didn't expect to see them again today! A moment ago, he was still talking to people in a pleasant manner, but in a blink of an eye, the other person's head was placed on the plate! Looking at the bloody, hideous head on the wooden plate, the official who persuaded Xun Zhen to agree to Yu Pozhi's request changed color in horror, almost lost his seat and fell to the ground.

Xun Zhen didn't change his face, ordered Xuankang to polish his ink, wrote a reply letter to Yu Du with a pen, and then ordered Dian Wei to call the fifty soldiers brought by the messenger into the hospital, and ordered Yuan Zhongqing to send the messenger's Rentou, Yu Du's letter and his own reply were handed over to them, saying, "This is my answer to you Qu Shuai, you can take it."

The fifty armored soldiers were originally waiting outside the courtyard, but unexpectedly, the messenger turned dead in a blink of an eye, and they were all shocked. They were all warriors who had fought in the battlefield, and they were about to draw swords, raise spears, and stir up chaos.

At this time, there were only a few personal guards in the courtyard where the main hall was located, such as Dian Wei, Yuan Zhongqing, and Zuo Bohou. They were far behind in the comparison between the enemy and the enemy. Seeing the fifty armored soldiers in the courtyard shouting, Murderous as if he was going to kill him in the hall, the officials in the hall were all horrified and their faces were pale. Wang Cong was no longer the way he used to look at his nose and his mouth. Because of the urgency of the matter, he didn't have time to get up and put his hands on him. At the place where he lived, he hurriedly walked off the seat on his knees and shouted: "Ming Gong! Quickly pass on the guards in the mansion!"

Suddenly, a loud shout, like a thunderbolt, was deafening.

Wang Cong looked back in dismay, and saw that the loud shout came from Dian Wei.

Dian Weiti stood on the steps outside the hall with iron halberd, facing fifty soldiers and armored soldiers alone, shouting with anger, and pointing angrily: "The prefect is in the main hall, the county court is important, the soldiers in the courtyard, how dare you make a noise? Who? Want to make trouble? Come forward! The two iron halberds are here!"

This slamming shout was majestic, and none of the fifty soldiers in the courtyard dared to move.

"Fu Jun will send you a courtesy and letter back to your family, Qu Shuai, if you can't wait, come forward and greet him!"

Seeing that after hesitating for a moment, the fifty soldiers in the courtyard actually put away their weapons according to Dian Wei's order and bowed down. Wang Cong and other officials in the hall looked at each other, Wang Cong said in surprise: "Ming Gong, Who is this guard of the Duke? He has such divine power!" Xun Zhen didn't answer, but instead smiled and asked the government official who had persuaded him to accept Yu Duzhi's request: "Your Majesty thinks I should agree to Yu Duzhi's request. Is it?"

The government official replied tremblingly, "There is such a tiger soldier under Ming Gong's account, so naturally there is no need to agree to the invitation of the poison." He said: "In the past, I attacked the Yellow Turbans from General Huangfu and forced Zhang Jiao to death. Last year, I attacked Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Feiyan, but Niujiao and Feiyan did not dare to attack me. You are afraid of having too many poisonous soldiers, but in my opinion, he is just a dog-like thing!"

Wang Cong's officials all bowed down and said, "Ming Duke is born with a valiant force, and the officials and others bow down in fear."

Yuan Zhongqing handed the messenger's head, Yu Du's letter and Xun Zhen's reply to the fifty soldiers.

Yu Du's letter to Xun Zhen was simple, and Xun Zhen's reply to Yu Du was also simple.

The letter reads: You ask me to borrow food, I have no food for you, so I will give you such a head! You asked me to borrow 20,000 stone grains. For this head, I think he can bear 10,000 stone, but there is still 10,000 stone left. Please send another messenger.

After Yu Du received the letter, he stared blankly at the head of the letter and the messenger for a long time.

The messenger who was killed was surnamed Deng. Mo Jian was born squat and had the appearance of a rambunctious character, but he was one of the "strategists" under the Yu Po account, and his position in the Yu Po army was not low. This time he volunteered to go. Sending a letter to Xun Zhen, I wanted to show off the military power of the poison, but Xun Zhen chopped off his head and sent it back. Xun Zhen is so pretty~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Some can't wait to invite Yu Poison to attack Ye County.

Yu Du looked at the messenger's head for a long time, and said, "Since Xun Jun is unwilling to borrow food, let's go to the market." He ordered Shu Zuo to rewrite the letter and asked the young officers, "Who would you like to deliver the letter for me? ?"

The young marshals fell silent for a while, sometimes looking at the letter written by Shu Zuo, and sometimes looking at the head of the drug case. The previous messenger was beheaded by Xun Zhen, and Xun Zhen also replied in the letter, "please" Yu Du to send another messenger, so that he can cut off the head again, so as to make up the number of "20,000 stone", under such circumstances , which little handsome dare not take the initiative to ask Ying.

Yu Du smiled and said: "The reason why Xun Jun killed Lao Deng was because my last letter was really rude. There is nothing rude in this letter. I asked him to communicate with him. This request is very reasonable. I will definitely not kill the messenger again. You don't have to worry about it."

After all, one person finally answered the errand and became the second messenger.

Two days later, the second messenger's head was sent back together with Yu Du's letter and Xun Zhen's reply.

Although Xun Zhen "kept his word" and cut off the head of the second messenger, in his reply, he agreed to Yu Du's request, but he did not set the location of Tongshi in Ye County as Yu Du said. The location of Tongshi was chosen in Yudu's territory.
