Chapter 367

Zhang Xiu went back to the barracks. It was a little late. After reading the meeting book, he took an early rest.

One night without words, the next morning.

There is nothing wrong with Zhang Xiu, but Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and Chen Dao are too busy to touch the ground. After all, the three are busy dealing with military affairs, reorganizing the army and adjusting its structure.

Zhang Xiu sat in the tent, looking at the map of Hongnong County, thinking about the subsequent dispatch of troops.

It is not difficult to attack Hongnong county.

After all, without the power of garrison, we will be invincible wherever we go.

The most important thing is that Yuan Shao may send troops to kill him in the future. We should consider the war with Yuan Shao. Even Sui Gu fell into Zhang Xiu's hands, and Zhang Yang might send troops.

"Newspaper!"

Outside the camp, Wang Yue's voice rang out.

Zhang Xiu said, "come in!"

The curtain of the barracks door was lifted and Wang Yue entered, reporting: "Lord, there is information from Chang'an."

With that, Wang Yue handed over a letter.

Zhang Xiu took it over, opened the letter and read it again. Her eyebrows rose and she was surprised.

Here comes Kong Rong!

Kong Rong went to Chang'an to see Zhang Xiu.

Because Zhang Xiu is not in Chang'an, Kong Rong leaves Chang'an and goes after Hongnong county. In the letter, there is no mention of the reason for Kong Ronglai, because Xu Shu inquired, but Kong Rong did not say. Kong Rong said that only when he saw Zhang Xiu would he be willing to tell the truth.

Zhang Xiu thought about it and said, "I know. Go ahead."

"Here it is

Wang Yue retreated, leaving Zhang Xiu alone in the camp.

The letter was delivered, and Kong Rong had already set out. He estimated that it would not take long for Kong Rong to arrive in Huayin county. In Zhang Xiu's heart, she ponders the purpose of Kong Rong.

Earlier, Kong Rong worked in Qingzhou as the Prime Minister of Beihai Prefecture.

It's called Kong Beihai.

Last year, Yuan Tan attacked Qingzhou and had a fierce battle with Kong Rong. After his defeat, Kong Rong fled to Yanzhou and was appointed by the imperial court as a general craftsman. Soon after that, he moved to Shaofu and became a Taizhong doctor.

The first generation of the emperor attached great importance to Kong Rong.

After all, Kong Rong is a descendant of Confucius and a famous scholar in the world.

In fact, the relationship between Kong Rong and Cao Cao is not very harmonious, especially Kong Rong does not like Cao Cao's dictatorship and criticizes it more. Under such a premise, Cao Cao would suppress Kong Rong even if he did not want to provoke him.

Zhang Xiu couldn't figure out the reason, so she didn't care about it for the time being.

In the afternoon, it was close to Shenshi.

Wang Yue came to the camp again and reported: "Lord, Kong Rong has arrived at the west gate of Huayin county. His carriage arrived and did not continue to enter the city. Please welcome him at the gate of the city in person. "

Zhang Xiu's sword eyebrows wrinkled. She was surprised by Kong Rong's practice and asked, "are you sure he wants me to meet him?"

"Yes

Wang Yue nodded and answered.

Zhang Xiu said: "why?"

Wang Yue replied, "Kong Rong said that he was the envoy of the emperor and came at the emperor's command. As a minister of the Great Han Dynasty, the Lord should meet him at the gate of the city to show his respect for the emperor. "

Zhang Xiu laughs. Kong Rong's self feeling is really good.

Envoys of the emperor?

What's the use of the emperor's envoys in these days.

It's a turbulent time now. The princes are competing for the best in the world. The emperor's envoys have long lost their influence.

Three years ago, the imperial court was in turmoil because of the disturbance caused by Li Xi and Guo Si. At that time, the imperial court wanted to win over the forces of all parties to protect the convoy, so it sent envoys to all parts of the country to recruit officials in order to win over foreign aid.

At that time, the imperial court sent Ma RIYUAN, a great Confucian, as an envoy to Shouchun to recruit Yuan Shu and give him official posts and titles. At the same time, it asked Yuan Shu to send troops to rescue the emperor in trouble.

However, after Yuan Shu got the benefit, he was not willing to send troops, and forced Ma RIYUAN to recruit his ministry as an official in the name of the emperor, but Ma RIYUAN refused.

Under the indignant rule of Yuan Shu, he directly snatched the emperor Fu Jie of Ma RI Li and refused to return it.

Ma RIYUAN was humiliated, asked for Fu Jie, and was ready to leave Shouchun. However, he was imprisoned by Yuan Shu and died of vomiting blood.

We can see the status of the emperor's envoys.

In the same way, Zhang Xiu can ignore Kong Rong.

Zhang Xiu didn't like Kong Rong very much, especially when he was on the shelf. He told her, "don't worry about him. If he wants to come, come. He doesn't want to come. He can go wherever he wants. It's none of our business

Wang Yue worried and said, "Lord, that's Kong Rong who represents the son of heaven!"

Zhang Xiu said: "people respect me, I also respect people. Kong Rong wants to put on airs in front of me. That's impossible. Don't worry about him. I'll see what mystery Kong Rong wants to make. "

Wang Yue said: "my Lord is wise!"

To Zhang Xiu's answer, Wang Yue agrees.

When Zhang Xiu waved her hand, Wang Yue turned back and told the messenger not to take care of Kong Rong's affairs.And the west gate of Huayin county.

A carriage stopped here.

In the carriage sat a middle-aged man in his early forties. Although he was middle-aged, he didn't have the slightest weight. His cheeks were thin, his eyes were bright, and he had a scholarly temperament.

He is Kong Rong.

As an envoy of the emperor, Kong Rong attaches great importance to his identity and is even more proud of it.

Kong Rong went to the court last year and learned something about Zhang Xiu and about Zhang Xiu's defeat of Cao Cao. Later, Zhang Xiu defeated Li He and killed Guo Si. All the news came to the court, and Kong Rong knew it.

No matter what Zhang Xiu is, in Kong Rong's view, Zhang Xiu is a martial arts man.

That's all!

Kong Rong, as the 20th grandson of Confucius, is a model of Qingliu and a loyal official in the court. Naturally, he looks down on Wufu.

This is the nature of a scholar.

After Kong Rong came to Chang'an at the emperor's command, he didn't tell them what he was doing. He was looking for Zhang Xiu, so he went straight to Huayin county.

Along the way, the road is bumpy, hard to walk, rather hard.

There was some anger in his heart.

So when he arrived at the gate of Huayin County, Kong Rong didn't take the initiative to enter. Instead, he explained his identity to the soldiers stationed at the gate and asked someone to inform Zhang xiulai to see him.

He had been waiting in the carriage, but he didn't see Zhang Xiu.

A quarter of an hour!

Two quarters of an hour!

Half an hour later, Zhang Xiu still didn't appear.

At this time, Kong Rong frowned, especially angry. He lifted the curtain of the carriage door, looked at the driver, and said, "ask again, when will Zhang Xiu come?"

"Yes

The coachman heard the words and looked at the soldiers stationed at the gate of the city.

The soldiers have no idea of the emperor's envoys. They only know Zhang Xiu.

Because Zhang Xiu was paid to eat.

In particular, when the soldiers saw that Kong Rong and the groom were very proud and looked down upon them, they didn't like Kong Rong. Moreover, before the soldiers went to the barracks to report, Wang Yue said Zhang Xiu's opinion was to let Kong Rong wait.

With this premise, the soldiers did not pay attention to Kong Rong.

When the soldier heard the groom's question, he said directly, "what's your hurry? Just wait. General Zhang is busy with business. When it's over, he will come to meet you. "

The coachman was Kong Rong's follower. He was very dissatisfied when he heard the soldier's reply. He immediately yelled, "do you know who is sitting in the carriage? It's Lord Kong Rong. He is the envoy of the emperor and comes at the emperor's command. You, don't report it to me. "

The soldier snorted: "no matter what kind of adult you are, no matter what kind of envoy you are. Even if the emperor comes to Huayin county and general Zhang is not finished, he will have to wait. "

"Son of a bitch!"

Kong Rong, sitting in the carriage, was furious when he heard the soldier's words.

He came straight out of the carriage, stood on the shaft, glared and yelled, "you are such a jerk. When I see Zhang Xiu, I will let him deal with you. "

The soldier is a person who is not afraid of anything. He stubbles his neck and says boldly, "wait until you see General Zhang. Now, wait and talk nonsense. You can't go to the city."

Brush!

Kong Rong's face changed again.

He did not expect that a little soldier in front of him was so rude.

He is an important minister in the court.

He's a royal envoy!

When he arrived in Huayin County, Zhang Xiu should welcome him ten miles away. However, she was despised by Zhang Xiu and humiliated by the soldiers. It was a great shame.

Kong Rong's body trembled slightly and said coldly, "you're fine, you're fine. When I see Zhang Xiu, I will certainly ask for justice. I'm the envoy of the son of heaven. I can't be humiliated like this. "

"Whatever you want!"

The soldier replied, strangling his neck.
