Chapter 270 Beihai Wang Xiu
The wind leads to the dragon and tiger flags, and the singing bells chase after them. ----------Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty "Climbing Hongbo Terrace in Handan to Set up a Wine Watch to Send Out the Troops"
It is said that Chen Long crossed the sea to Qingzhou and went straight to Huang County. He only came for the famous general Tai Shici and wanted to hire him as a bodyguard with a lot of money. Unexpectedly, Taishi Ziyi's mother wanted her son to become an official, loyal to the imperial court, and develop under the rule of Kong Beihai. The two did not agree, so Chen Long had to give up.
Chen Long changed the topic and stayed at Taishi Ci's house to drink some home brew. Taishi's mother made some simple dishes to go with the wine. The banquet was also full of fun. When talking about Taishi Ci's martial arts, the words became more and more speculative. Obviously Taishi Ci also had his own unique insights into martial arts. When he talked about the art of archery, he talked endlessly, which seemed to be similar to the magic arrow Huang Zhong. No more concessions.
Chen Long saw that he was also crazy about martial arts, so he immediately proposed to find a place to compete, and Taishi Ci readily agreed. Chen Long made an agreement with him to find an empty arena outside the city to compete in three days. Chen Long used some tricks and deliberately revealed in his speech that he would go to Beihai to visit Kong Rong in a few days. The sound was just loud enough for Taishi Ci's mother to hear.
The speaker has a heart, and the listener also has a heart. Taishi Ci's mother couldn't hear the word "Kong Rong", so she pretended to come up to clear the tableware and asked with a smile: "Mr. Long also knows Kong Rong?"
Chen Long chuckled and said: "To tell you the truth, I am also a well-known figure in Jiaozhou. Shixie, the prefect of Jiaozhi, is my sworn brother. He has an old relationship with Kong Beihai. He heard that I was going to Qingzhou and insisted on giving it to me. Recommendation. I still have this recommendation book in my arms!" I don't think she would ask me for a recommendation book. Besides, women in ancient times were probably illiterate.
After hearing this, Taishi Ci's mother said with a smile: "Kong Beihai always takes care of me. He said that Taishi Ci should go to Beihai Governor's Mansion to work when he is free. It's just that Kong Beihai was busy, and he may have forgotten it later. Since Mr. is going, can you take him with him? Do you want me to go to Kong Cishi's house together?" Chen Long said happily: "What's wrong with this? As long as I let Tai Shici take me around Huang County these two days, I can naturally take him to see Kong Beihai when I leave. "
Taishi Ci's mother smiled like a peony flower and said: "No problem, no problem. My son, whenever you are free these days, you will act as a guide for Mr. Long. Do you understand?" Taishi Ci was a filial mother, so of course she would not Against her mother's wishes, she happily agreed.
Huang County is not a big city and can be said to be a small place. Within a day or two, Jackie Chan had a profound understanding of Huang County's geography. Especially the mansions of wealthy families have deep courtyards. The current county magistrate of Huang County is called Zong Bao. He is also a military general. His martial arts skills are far inferior to Tai Shi Ci's. However, because he was promoted by Kong Rong very early and has more trust from Kong Rong, he is now Tai Shi Ci's superior. Zong Bao was obviously unhappy with Tai Shi Ci accompanying Jackie Chan all day long. Later, Jackie Chan asked Lu Chang to give him a few small beads. Dong Bao smiled brightly and ignored Tai Shi Ci.
Among the high-ranking families in Huang County, there was a village that attracted Jackie Chan's attention. This manor is the territory of the Wang family. The current patriarch is called Wang Xiu, who is Kong Beihai's current first adviser and a famous Qingzhou official in the Three Kingdoms era.
Wang Xiu, courtesy name Shuzhi, was the chief secretary of Kong Rong at that time and served Kong Rong, Yuan Tan and Cao Cao successively. He was an upright man, restrained his tyranny when governing the local area, and made clear rewards and punishments. He was deeply loved by the people, and he reached the rank of chief minister, Nong Lang, Zhong Ling.
Wang Xiu was a man of both moral integrity and talent. When he was twenty years old, he went to Nanyang to study and stayed at Zhang Feng's house. Later, Zhang Feng's whole family fell ill, and no one visited them. Wang Xiu took care of them personally and did not leave until they recovered. He was a very kind man. Later, when Kong Rong became an official, Kong Beihai recruited him to serve as the chief registrar and at the same time act as the Gaomi County magistrate. Sun, a Gaomi native, has always been domineering and tyrannical, and his followers have broken the law many times. There was a robbery case among the people, and the thieves entered Sun's house, but the officials were unable to catch them. Wang Xiu led the officials and people to surround the Sun family. Sun resisted law enforcement, and the officials and people were afraid to approach. Wang Xiu ordered them: "Anyone who dares not to attack will be punished together with the thieves." Sun was afraid, so she handed over the thieves. From then on, the local lawless powerful people were afraid of surrendering.
Wang Xiu was elected as Xiaolian, and he gave it to Bingyuan, but Kong Rong did not agree. At that time, the world was in turmoil, and the promotion of Xiaolian came to a halt. Soon, there were rebels in the county. Wang Xiu heard that Kong Rong was in danger and rushed to Kong Rong overnight. When the bandits first started to attack, Kong Rong said to the people around him: "The only one who can come to help me in danger is Wang Xiu." As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiu arrived.
Later, Wang Xiu was appointed as meritorious officer. At that time, there were many thieves and bandits in Jiaodong, so Kong Rong ordered Wang Xiu to be the magistrate of Jiaodong. The Shalu clan of Jiaodong was powerful and he set up his own camps and trenches and refused to obey the government's dispatches. Wang Xiu alone led a few men on horseback and broke into Gongshalu's house, beheading several Gongshalu brothers. The Gongsha clan was shocked and shocked, and no one dared to do anything. Wang Xiu calmed the rest of the people, and from then on the bandits gradually stopped. Whenever Kong Rong was in danger, Wang Xiu would always arrive immediately, even if he was resting at home. Kong Rong often relied on Wang Xiu to avoid disasters.
After Yuan Tan sent troops to Beihai and drove away Kong Rong, he recruited Wang Xiu to serve as an official in charge of governance. Later, Yuan Shao died of illness. Due to the false decree of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang gradually developed a rift. In the eighth year of Jian'an, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang began to fight each other. The two sides fought at the gate of Liyang outer city. Yuan Tan was defeated and had to lead his troops back to Nanpi. Wang Xiu raised his arms and led the officials and people to rescue Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan said happily: "The person who saved my troops is Wang Biejia!"
Wang Xiu advised Yuan Tan: "Brothers are like a person's right and left hands. For example, if a person is about to fight with another person, but cuts off his right hand, and instead says, 'I will definitely win,' is this okay? Abandoning a brother is not a good idea. No one else in the world can be close to each other! There are those who are slanderous among your subordinates. They have been involved in fighting among your brothers in order to gain one day's benefits. I am willing to tell you clearly: plug your ears and don't listen. Theirs. If you can kill a few treacherous ministers, and the brothers can become close and harmonious again to defend against enemies from all directions, you can use this to dominate the world." Yuan Tan did not listen, and began to hate Wang Xiu in his heart, and refused to listen to his words. Later, as expected, Pingyuan was defeated again, so he had no choice but to send Xin Pi to ask Cao Cao for help.
Cao Cao took advantage of the opportunity and troops came in and captured Jizhou. After that, Yuan Tan betrayed Cao Cao again. Cao Cao then led his army to attack Yuan Tan in Nanpi. Wang Xiu was transporting grain in Le'an at this time. When he heard that Yuan Tan was in danger, he led dozens of soldiers and subordinates with him and rushed to Yuan Tan. When he arrived in Gaomi County, he heard the news that Yuan Tan was dead. Wang Xiu dismounted and cried loudly: "Without you, where will I go back?" So he went to Cao Cao and asked him to collect Yuan Tan's body for burial. Cao Cao wanted to observe Wang Xiu's sincerity and remained silent. Wang Xiu added: "I have received great kindness from the Yuan family. If I were allowed to bury Yuan Tan's body and then die, I would not regret it." Cao Cao praised his loyalty and obeyed him. Cao Cao asked Wang Xiu to supervise the army's provisions and returned to Le'an. From then on, he joined Cao Cao's camp. He was self-denial, devoted to public service, restrained the strong, supported the weak, and made clear rewards and punishments. He was highly praised by the people. Cao Cao praised him and said: "You bathe in virtue and are well known in this state. You are loyal and capable, and you are a good figure in the world. Your reputation is worthy of your name, and you are far superior to others. I know you with my heart, and I know you deeply. It is not just my ears and eyes."
Later generations also commented highly on Wang Xiu. One commentator said: "Xu You surrendered to Cao Cao, and Wang Xiu also surrendered to Cao Cao. They surrendered in the same way, but Xu You assisted Cao in his plot against Yuan, while Wang Xiu could not bear to help Cao in plotting against Yuan. Wang Xiu was a good person in Xu You is far away. We cannot ignore it."
With such a good minister, Chen Long is naturally the one to win over, and it seems that Wang Xiu has had many masters, and they have gained absolute trust. Such a capable and emotionally intelligent person naturally aroused Chen Long's full interest. There are many talents in Qingzhou, and Chen Long will not let the best of them go.
Three days passed by in a flash, and it was already the appointed day for the competition. Lu Chang, who had been pretending to be Long Chen, carried a javelin and a strong bow and arrow pot on his back, and arrived at the small school ground side by side with Tai Shici, who was almost identically dressed. In Taishi Ci's hand were two iron halberds, called Kuangge Halberds, but they were obtained from the secret realm at the top of Chengshan Mountain in Qingzhou. The two precious halberds shone with cold light. Lu Chang thought to himself, this broken spear of mine was cut off by someone in just one move. His bow skills are also strong, but how can he win against this Taishi Ziyi?
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
