Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1250 Among the government offices

But all people naturally have emotions, it is impossible to calculate between "0" and "1" every moment like a robot, so in fact, Fei Qian at this moment is already working very hard I'm controlling my emotions.

  Of course, as a commander, you also need to be vigilant at all times, and you can't get too emotionally involved, causing you to lose your original rational ability to judge matters.

After killing Zheng Tai, Fei Qian felt that some of the negative emotions he had accumulated had been vented out. With a shake of his wrist, he shook off the blood on the Zhongxing sword, and then asked his personal guards to take Zheng Tai's headless corpse After being dragged out, the Zhongxing sword was put back into its sheath, and he did not enter the mourning hall. He bowed to Cai Yong's coffin across the stone steps, and said in a deep voice, "Senior Sister, a certain party is leading the army. I am afraid that the blood on my body will collide with the master's heroic spirit." , so I won’t go inside to pay homage... After a certain person returns to the city and removes his armor, he will come to guard the spirit..."

  Cai Yan in the lobby, dressed in filial piety, bowed his head and worshiped when he heard the words, a strand of black silk slipped on the white clothes on his shoulders, "Thank you, unfilial daughter... I dare not trouble General Xi..."

   "General Zhengxi..." The middle-aged man got up tremblingly, his eyes still fixed on Fei Qian's hand holding the Zhongxing sword, as if he was afraid that Fei Qian would draw the sword out again in the next moment.

   Feiqian nodded, and without looking at the middle-aged man, he took a step back, bowed to the hall, and immediately looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "Chen Liu, Cai Gu, Cai Zifeng?"

Hearing Fei Qian's name, the middle-aged man Cai Gu was inevitably a little annoyed. According to common sense, Fei Qian is Cai Yong's disciple, and Cai Gu is regarded as the same generation as Cai Yong, so he naturally needs to use the etiquette of a junior. Now Not only did Fei Qian not even use the honorific titles that ordinary peers call each other's positions, but he directly used the way superiors treat subordinates to call their native names. If this was normal, it would be unavoidable to be angry, but looking at the **** scene in front of the hall, Cai Gu didn't dare to show anything at all, so he had to surrender.

   "Come with me." Fei Qian nodded, turned around and left after leaving a word.

   "This..." The middle-aged man Cai Gu was stunned for a moment, then looked back, a little hesitant.

Fei Qian ignored Cai Gu, and while walking forward, he confessed to Linghu Shao: "You will temporarily take the position of chief sacrificial wine and lead the academy, and I will leave a garrison with you. Cai's mansion will take care of the affairs. Take good care of them, but those who cause chaos will be killed without mercy!"

   "Wei!" Linghu Shao bowed his hands in response.

Fei Qian looked at Xun Chen who was standing with his hands folded, stopped in his footsteps, then stretched out his hand to signal, took the original Dongcao's Jinxian crown from Huang Xu, handed it to Xun Chen, and said, "I will send it to you for now." , if there is a next time..."

  Fei Qian beheaded Zheng Tai, and his hands were somewhat stained with blood. At this time, he took the Jinxian Crown, and the blood color naturally soaked into the Jinxian Crown's crown...

Xun Chen looked at the blood marks on Jinxian's crown, and after a moment of silence, he put it on his head again, and ordered the soldiers beside him: "Drag the corpse down and clean the stone steps. Take the lime box for the skull and put it outside the court. , and we will offer sacrifices to him at the time of the great burial." Then he turned his head to Cai Gu who was still in a daze and said, "Cai Shilang, please."

  Cai Gu was still a little hesitant, but Xun Chen followed Fei Qian without saying much. Two Feiqian soldiers stood behind Cai Gu, one on the left and one on the right, making it clear that if Cai Gu refused to follow, they would immediately attack.

  Cai Gu trembled, and hurriedly followed.

  As the night fell, Fei Qian, surrounded by hundreds of personal guards, flew to the government office in his home city of Pingyang. In this area, only Fei Qian himself can ride his horse, and everyone else must dismount from the sedan chair outside the square. Near the mansion, there are even guards patrolling. Stop to pay tribute, while sending people to guide.

  On both sides of the government office, although it was already late at night, under the swaying torches, officials of all sizes in Pingyang City were still waiting in awe, standing full in front of the government office.

Although Fei Qian didn't ask them to greet them here, General Zhengxi didn't return to the mansion, and these officials didn't dare to just go home and sleep. Still holding on to the spirit and waiting here.

Fei Qian swung his stirrups off his horse, then nodded to the officials big and small, and walked forward. When he reached the stone steps at the gate of the government office, he turned around and said to the crowd, "Pingyang is safe this time, everyone is safe. Thank you for your meritorious service!" After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and pushed forward, making a flat bow.

  The big and small officials on both sides hurriedly returned the salute, saying that they dare not take it seriously, but there was some joy in the eyes of each other. After so many days, it was just for this, and naturally flattering words were sent up.

   Fei Qian smiled slightly, and after listening for a while, he waved his hand without talking to anyone, and said, "It's getting late, everyone, go back and rest first, and discuss current affairs at three quarters tomorrow."

Now that Pingyang City is big, and the affairs are quite cumbersome, there are naturally many new civil servants and military schools. Seeing what Fei Qian said, although I still want to show it in my heart, so that Fei Qian can have a good impression of preconceived ideas, but I also knew that it was indeed too late and inconvenient, so I naturally responded one after another, and then dispersed one after another.

Zhao Shang was among them, not daring to move too far forward, his eyes wandered to the left and right, and then his demeanor returned to normal, chatted with other officials for a while, and then dispersed up.

  Fei sneaked into the lobby, instead of going to the inner mansion, he sat down in the Jietang. There were still some things that made him feel uncomfortable, and it would be better to settle them that day, so he ordered his personal guards to wait on him outside, and called Xun Chen in first.

   After Xun Chen entered the festival hall, he fell down on the ground without saying a word.

   "Get up, sit down..." Fei Qian was silent for a while, then said, "Why?"

"My lord, Cai Gong has no heirs, so this happened..." Xun Chen took a blood-stained Jinxian crown, bowed, sat on the side seat, and said directly, without seeing Fei Qian's embarrassing expression .

   "..." Fei Qian was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xun Chen, and opened his hands to let the attendants untie the silk sash to remove the armor, and said, "I'm asking you, why are you here?"

  Xun Chen was silent for a moment, then suddenly said without beginning or end: "...Gongsun Bogui killed himself in Yijing, Lu Fengxian was defeated in Puyang, Liu Zhengli fled to Jingzhou..."

"..." Fei Qian turned around suddenly, so that the attendant who was taking off the armor couldn't hold the armor blade steady, and hit the ground with a "boom", but there was no attendant who couldn't help pleading guilty, looked at Xun Chen and said, " Marquis Wen lost? How did he lose?"

  Xun Chen arched his hands and said: "Yanzhou was severely drought, and there was a plague of locusts, and there were no harvests in many places. In order to seize the wheat fields, each had its own victory and defeat. Later, Lu Fengxian led the army to attack Cao Mengde's camp, and was defeated..."

   "Wait..." Fei Qian frowned, put on the robes handed over by the attendants, waved his hand, and signaled the attendants to retreat, and said, "Wen Hou's men are brave and good at fighting, even if they fall, they should not be defeated..."

  Xun Chen shook his head and said: "After the Marquis Wen took control of Puyang, he recruited more soldiers and had no time to refine them. He went into battle in a hurry, fell down suddenly, and panicked. How can he be undefeated?"

   Fei Qian sighed and said, "How is Marquis Wen doing now?"

   "Tao has been retreated," said Xun Chen, "under the loss of soldiers and generals, and no money and food reserves... I am afraid that we will not be able to defend for a long time..."

   "Dingtao..." Fei Qian pondered for a while, then shook his head, the distance was too far, even if he wanted to, he couldn't help much, "So, you Ruo think, who sent Cai Zifeng?"

   "In my opinion..." Xun Chen paused, and added, "Even if it wasn't ordered by the general, there is also the intention of the Cai family to use it as a step up..."

   Feiqian sneered, and said, "This Mrs. Cai, you think well!"

Although the Chenliu Cai family belongs to Yanzhou, it is very close to Jizhou. In addition, although Zhang Miao and Lu Bu are said to be united, in fact Chenliu is still Zhang Miao's private land, which is relatively stable. Even in Jizhou, Yuan Shao's momentum is now evident. After Yuan Shao pacifies Gongsun Zan, he will definitely go south. Naturally, these nobles with a little vision can guess, and there is no one in the Chen Liucai family who can take it. Naturally, he turned his mind to Cai Yong.

   "So you want to take this opportunity to enter Heluo?" Fei Qian glanced at Xun Chen and said.

  Xun Chen shook his head and said: "If Heluo is taken entirely... the time has not yet come, but... you can take Hedong first, and then enter Shan County as an outpost, which will also disrupt the foundation of Hongnong..."

   "Hedong?" Fei Qian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"...The area of ​​​​Hedong was originally a bit chaotic. Now that the Yang family is raising troops, if it is said that Hedong has not set foot in it, no one will believe it..." Xun Chen said slowly, "In the land of Hedong, there are many nobles. , Pei, Liu, and Xue are the most important, and the Wei family is the largest, occupying five or six out of ten of the land in Hedong. This time, there must be Wei's private soldiers in the Yang family's army! Therefore, taking this opportunity of great victory, going south to Hedong, you can Therefore, kill the Wei family and confiscate the family property to use as military funds!"

"Pei's family relocated the day before yesterday to express their goodwill, so they can stay temporarily. Although Liu Xue's second family is powerful and controls the place, but they have no official position, they can be recruited by one or two according to their circumstances. In this way, Dongdong can be settled..." Xun Chen looked at Fei Qian and said, "The two Yuans divided the north and the south, and there must be a battle. My lord can either go out to Taihang, or go down to Jingxiang along the water, so that we can have both sides, and sit and watch Shandong..."

   Fei Qian stroked the short beard on his chin, pondering. In the middle of the night, there was silence all around, only the faint chirping of insects, which seemed to be telling something.

"...As for the Luoyang court," Xun Chen's voice was not loud, neither ups and downs, nor surging sonorous, just talking slowly, as if talking about a very simple and simple matter. Ordinary things, "After this big defeat, the Yang family will definitely not be as good as before. After the lord Qiu Huo, he can use the name of Qiugong to make friends with the officials. If there is any change in Heluo, he can lead the army straight. Nothing to do..."

   Feiqian nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "Youruo's strategy is naturally excellent...but what..."

  Fei Qian hesitated for a moment, but he didn't say what, but changed the subject and said: "After three days of reorganizing the army, Zilong Ziyi was ordered to go south to Hedong first...By the way, does Wenyuan have any news?"

Xun Chen took a slight glance at Fei Qian, and without further questioning, he nodded and said, "Wenyuan was stationed in Shaanxi and Tianjin, and he attacked from the east of the river, breaking his army. Huguan, I want to lead the soldiers of Huguan to rescue Pingyang...The subordinates felt that Pingyang should be safe, so they ordered them to stay in Huguan temporarily, and make a decision after the lord arrives here..."

   "Huguan, um," Fei Qian nodded and said, "That's fine, let Wen Yuan lead the Shangdang cavalry captain and restrain the Shangdang soldiers..."

   "Wei." Xun Chen bowed his hands in response.

   "Lead Cai Zifeng up!" Fei Qian ordered.

Cai Gu trembled to the top of the festival hall, and saw that Fei Qian was finally not wearing a military uniform, with a bit less iron and blood taste, so he couldn't help but secretly took a breath, and just about to go up to meet him, he heard Fei Qian shouted in a deep voice: " What a Chen Liucai family, it’s not good to bully a certain swordsman?!”

  Cai Gu was taken aback, and quickly said: "General! Why did the general say that?"

Fei Qian didn't bother to gossip with Cai Gu, and said directly: "The Shoushan Academy is not owned by one person, nor was it built by the master alone! How can you **** it at your word?"

Cai Gu's mind was exposed, his face couldn't help being extremely embarrassed, turning blue and white for a while, he didn't know what to say, if he said it lightly, he was reluctant to part with a great school, but if he said it seriously, he was afraid of offending the person in front of him Killing God, raise your sword and gun, your own life is in danger...

  Just when Cai Gu was in a dilemma, Xun Chen spoke up, "Chen Liu Cai, a heir of poetry and books, how could he do such a thing that he didn't know what to do and what to do?"

   "This...naturally...naturally..." Cai Gu was extremely embarrassed, "but...but..."

   Feiqian looked at Cai Gu, and knew it in his heart. Don't look at Cai Gu's embarrassment at this time, but since he has come to Bingbei from a long distance, how could he be willing to go back empty-handed like this?

   Feiqian said slowly: "Cai Shilang, do you want to talk about scriptures?"

  Cai Gu raised his eyebrows, and said: "Ming Jian, General Zhengxi, brother Cai's house originally had a collection of tens of thousands of books, and someone directly took things from the Cai family, and dare to covet the Shoushan Academy..."

   Feiqian laughed dumbly: "Cai Shilang doesn't know something. Cai's collection of books was damaged when it was originally located in Heluo. Inside the scripture building of Shoushan Xuegong, there are books from Dongguan Lantai, not Cai's collection..."

  Cai Gu's eyes widened: "How can there be such a reason! The book of Dongguan Lantai is a book collected by the imperial court, how can it be here?"

  Xun Chen said: "Cai Shilang's words are wrong! In the past, my lord led the county and fought against Baibo. He had many meritorious deeds. The court knew that my lord was eager to learn, so he specially took the books in the Lantai collection of Dongguan as encouragement!"

  Cai Gu couldn't help being stunned, he couldn't believe his ears, he was stunned for a while before he said: "A certain one only asked for Cai's book, could it be that there is nothing at all?"

   Feiqian smiled, and said: "Of course there are some, how about waiting for someone to count them up and hand them over to Cai Shilang?"

  Cai Gu was also helpless, and after a while he said: "So, General Lao Zhengxi...Then about my brother..."

  Fei Qian ignored Cai Gu's temptation, turned his head and asked Xun Chen, "Just now, Caiyou Ruo once said that Pingdong marched into Chenliu?"

Xun Chen nodded, and said in a generally serious manner: "So that Cai Shilang can know that at this time, Marquis Wen has been defeated, and Cao Pingdong's army is approaching Chenliu... Ah, Cai Shilang, do you have personal guards? Otherwise, the journey is far away. The war is in chaos, just in case something goes wrong..."

  Cai Gu suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Fei Qian.

   Fei Qian looked at Cai Gu and said, "Since that's the case, why not wait for Cai Shilang to stay in Pingyang for the time being, and make arrangements after the surrounding situation stabilizes?"

  Cai Gu pondered for a while, and finally bowed to Fei Qian, saying: "That's the only way to go, nagging General Zhengxi..."
