Three Kingdoms

"Is there anything unusual about what Wang Zhongxuan said?" 』

Now in Xu County, Xun? not only has to pay attention to the supply of grain and grass to the front line, but also arranges spring plowing matters, and even needs to pay attention to whether Wang Can makes any small moves. He is so busy that the sky is dark and the earth is dark.

Xia Hou? has already gone to Yangcheng to make some defensive preparations in advance. After all, no one can guarantee that the Hussars General will not make any moves. If he waits for there to be movement before thinking about making preparations, it may not be too late.

During this period of time, Guo Jia was also busy focusing on clearing out all kinds of idle people on the ground in Yuzhou. He did not pay too much attention to it before, which resulted in these people with various purposes passing through Yuzhou easily. After the Yuan Tan incident, these people who were originally Small people who thought they were harmless were also put on the table of being targeted, especially in the direction of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and checkpoints were set up for interception and inspection, which could be regarded as a way to remedy the situation.

Because of the existence of Taishan County, which is similar to an "autonomous" territory, Cao Cao's control over subordinate counties has not been greatly improved. Except for the Yanzhou area of ​​Yuzhou that he directly controls, the rest, such as Qingzhou, Xuzhou, etc., are basically The above are all entrusted to the local wealthy families for coordination and management. Naturally, these "temporary workers" will sometimes have problems of one kind or another. Before, they turned a blind eye. Now after the Yuan Tan incident happened, Guo Jia naturally had a reason to carry out accountability and suppression, so Guo Jia was basically not in Xu County during this period, and was patrolling in other places.

Although people sometimes have strong mental strength, it does not mean that they can maintain it for a long time. Therefore, Xun? He is somewhat tired now, but he is still holding on.

"Wang Zhongxuan found Geng Jixing?" ” 』

The clerk replied, "I don't know... When the two of them were discussing, there were guards outside to guard them, and they were not allowed to get close..."

Xun? frowned, nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and then asked the clerk to leave.

Obviously, there must be something wrong with Wang Can and Geng Ji's secret discussion, but what is the specific problem? Xun? He can only make a rough guess, unless Geng Ji is arrested immediately...

It is not impossible to assign some other crime to Geng Ji, but doing so will definitely cause people to panic, which is not very advisable. It is better to look at it again, sooner or later something will be exposed.

Xun? After thinking for a moment, he ordered, "Come here, go and ask the two lieutenants, Ren and Yan, to come..."

……?`′?……

"I wonder if brother, have you heard? Kong Wenju wants to hold a cultural gathering in the suburbs of Nancheng? 』

"Of course!" This is our grand event! 』

"Kong Wen held this literary conference because he did not want Qinglong Temple in Guanzhong to be more beautiful than before..."

"That's wrong!" In the wild land of Kansai, how can there be any style of writing? Only Jiyu can be passed down for hundreds of years! Where does the word come from? 』

"Aha, aha..."

"I want to go and have a look, but I don't know if you guys..."

"Go together, go together!" 』

A group of people went there one after another and met some other people on the way. When they arrived at the southern outskirts of the city, they found that there were already many people gathered here. They immediately greeted each other, introduced people, said hello and bowed to each other, and sat down to drink. People chatting in groups made it lively.

Some invited brothel girls sat with them in the crowd, laughing and chatting, becoming an eye-catching decoration. There were many young gentry children surrounding them, like insects seeing honey, squeaking. It's either a performance, an argument, or being attentive.

Kong Rong was sitting in the Qushui Pavilion, and next to him were some literati from Yingchuan. They were complimenting each other, and then commenting on the articles submitted by some people, looking quite contented.

The cultural gatherings held by Kong Rong were not as formal as the Qinglong Temple Lectures. There were even stipulated daily agendas, speakers, etc. The literary gatherings here were filled with a relaxed, happy and casual atmosphere. Of course, in such an atmosphere, there is naturally no special person to preach. If there is someone who wants to express himself, he will publish his "masterpiece" and then everyone will judge it. If it can be appreciated by the majority of people , you can naturally gain a wave of reputation, it is very common, and it is also a common cultural society model in Yuzhou.

The scene seemed a little chaotic, but there was a kind of harmony in the chaos. Arguments that appeared from time to time, and then there were a bunch of people watching, joining in the discussion, or simply watching indifferently, not caring about anything but talking and laughing in front of the young women in the brothel, made the entire literary gathering lively and lively, and it seemed that every person Everyone can find their own place, and everyone can find their own happiness.

When talking about the literary society, people often think of people pretending to be "beep" and slapping people in the face, etc. However, in fact, the model of cultural society like Kong Rong, and the person sitting next to Kong Rong is a relatively famous gentry and celebrity, which is not at all You won’t read an article and immediately slap it in awe, bewildered, and then shout out how amazing so-and-so’s article is. Then with a “pop!” sound, you will fall to the ground and kneel down under the skirt of a guy who appears out of nowhere. Singing "I'm conquered by you like this"...

Even if the article is really good, the most you can do is smile, nod, and say "I don't know who wrote it." Then after seeing who it is, make a judgment based on the distance and distance of your family relationship. If there are some contacts, marriages, etc., they will naturally help and give a few shouts. But if they are outsiders who don’t know what to do and have nothing to do with each other, they will only say "not bad" at most, and some may even make a comment. Will not give it.

The reason is very simple, it is still two words "profit".

The fame of this person, including Kong Rong, did not fall from the sky in vain. To achieve the current fame, I don't know how much manpower and material resources he and his family have put in, including his personal efforts. Under such circumstances, would you easily use such a hard-earned reputation to recommend an outsider whom you don't know at all, and who may have nothing to do with him now or in the future?

If it were you, what would you do? Even Cao Cao back then was considered a son of an official. When he arrived in Yingchuan and wanted to make a name for himself, Er Xu refused to speak. He was forced to say something in desperation, not to mention those children from poor families and Lianmen. This guy can't even be touched...

To put it simply, it is like those billboards in later generations. The recommended spots are all clearly marked with price. If a stranger says that this product is good, he will be on the brand without paying a penny. If he wants to be in the position, someone will laugh. Haha, let people have sex for free?

Therefore, the cultural gathering held by Kong Rong was carried out in a harmonious manner. There was no one who pressed his nose and raised his eyes to get slapped in the face. There was also no one who would get jealous and throw fists at each other just because of a look or something. There seems to be a lot of love between them...

"Wenju!" Someone is here to chat! ” Xu You laughed, shouted from a distance, and then swayed forward.

"It's Ziyuan who has come, and it's really like a flower!" Kong Rong also came out from the pavilion and said, "I thought that Ziyuan had heavy official duties and didn't dare to invite me. I never thought that Ziyuan would deign to come. I am so happy!" 』

Xu You shook his sleeves, with some embarrassment on his face. After the battle between Yuan and Cao, Xu You thought that he had won a treasure, and it should be the harvest season now, but what he didn't expect was that Cao Cao left him in Xu County, and then... there was no more, so there was Isn't it just to remind Cao Ah Man that he is busy with official duties and hang out at Sikong Mansion every day?

I heard that Kong Rong was holding a cultural gathering here, so I couldn't help it, and I rushed over. But I was greeted by such a sentence. I didn't know if Kong Rong was mocking himself, and I felt a little embarrassed.

"Come on, everyone!" Kong Rong waved his hand and greeted the surroundings, "Everyone!" Everyone! Xu Ziyuan is here! If Duke Cao didn't have the good advice from Ziyuan, he wouldn't be able to win today! Zi lived far away and made great achievements! Come, come and get some wine. I will give you a drink on behalf of the children of Yuzhou! 』

Xu You realized that this Kong Rong was also a part-time worker. Naturally, he didn’t know whether he had something to do or nothing to do when he went to Sikong Mansion every day. Therefore, it was not surprising that Fangcai said that now he was doing it in front of everyone. Come to praise yourself, the original little unhappiness was immediately put aside, smiled again, and raised the wine glass to signal...

Kong Rong led the crowd and surrounded Xu You into the pavilion, "Brother Ziyuan, I heard that Duke Cao was in great danger at that time. Only with Ziyuan's good strategy can we turn things around... We don't know much about it, why don't we tell him something?" 』

Didn't this just scratch Xu You's itch?

Xu You chuckled and pretended to refuse for a moment or two. Then, under the "strong" request of everyone, he stroked his beard with satisfaction and said the famous saying, "If Cao A can't hide something, he can't be in Jizhou either!" 』

"Oh oh oh..."

The expressions of a group of people were either surprised or sighing, which made Xu You feel extremely satisfied.

In Cao Cao's Sikong Mansion, almost no one paid attention to him. Everyone seemed to have a lot of things to do, but he had nothing. When he told Xun? When Cao Cao was solving some economic problems, he was pushed back by Xun? He was neither soft nor hard, saying that these things were all designated by Cao Cao and he couldn't make the decision. It would be better to wait for Cao Cao to come back and make adjustments. This attitude Soft and well-founded, Xu You couldn't say anything even if he was angry...

So even though Xu You went to Sikong Mansion almost every day, he never got any chance to show off. Now that he finally saw such a large audience, his mood suddenly became high, and he talked about his original situation, attracting onlookers. The crowd was amazed...

……o￣?￣ブ……

"Xu Ziyuan went to Wenhui?" Xun? frowned and asked again, "But what else did you say?" 』

The clerk didn't dare to say anything, so he just handed over the wooden slip he copied in his hand.

Xun? took it, glanced at it, couldn't help but snorted, and slapped the wooden slip on the table.

Man Chong stood aside, waving his hand for the clerk to go down, and then frowned and asked, "But there are disrespectful words again?" 』

Xun? nodded slightly.

Man Chong said, "This person is very proud of his merits and makes many arrogant remarks. He should be punished!" 』

Xun? was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's just a trivial matter, let's leave it like that for now. We'll find out later when the Lord returns... Hearing that Wang Zhongxuan wants to return, Boning should pay more attention..."

Xu You's strange voice didn't happen in the past two days. What's more, Cao Cao knew Xu You when he was a child. They had been friends for many years. No matter what, it wouldn't be Xun's turn. ? Yue Pao has to deal with this kind of thing on his behalf, not to mention that compared with Xu You's complaints and Wang Can's preparation to leave Xu County, Wang Can is naturally more important.

Man Chong cupped his hands and said, "I accept my orders..."

Wang Can is finally leaving now. For Xun? and others, it is undoubtedly as if there is one less hidden danger that will break out. It is an exciting thing. Of course, this will have to wait until Wang Canche is completely Only when I finally leave Yuzhou and return to Guanzhong can it be considered an end.

At this stage, for Xun? and others, it is natural to do their best to ensure that there will be no more monsters on Wang Can's side...

Two days later, Xun Manchong and others felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Then they watched Wang Can and his group staggering away from Xu County. They looked at each other and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

"This Wang Zhongxuan actually wanted to meet His Majesty before leaving..." Man Chong snorted from his nose, "It's just wishful thinking..."

When Wang Can was leaving, the two sides almost fell out again because of this incident.

Wang Can said that he wanted to leave Xu County and had to say goodbye to Han Emperor Liu Xie. But how could Xun? and others let Wang Can do so? So Human Chong said that His Majesty was not feeling well, and if he had anything to say, he could convey it to him. However, Wang Can still wanted to climb up the pole, saying that His Majesty was not feeling well. As a minister, he should be waiting by the side, so how could he stay away? Or something, how could he act like someone was so indifferent as if nothing had happened, making the Three Corpse Gods so angry that they almost couldn't control themselves.

Later, Xun Xi tried to smooth things over by saying that if Wang Can had anything to say, he might as well put it on the table and he would definitely convey it to him. As for His Majesty, he was not feeling well and it was indeed inconvenient to receive foreign ministers. Anyway, it was just the same thing, so that Wang Can could do it quickly and easily. Leave meekly...

Wang Can expressed great anger, then wrote a sharply worded letter and threw it to Xun? Then he flatly refused the team originally sent by Xun? , anyway, he left Xu County cursing.

Xun? threw Wang Can's watch stamp to the table, and then watched Wang Can go away, thoughtfully.

At the moment when Wang Can and his entourage disappeared far away, almost everyone present felt relieved that the plague god had finally been sent away, thinking that it had finally come to an end, but in fact, this was just A prologue...
