Chapter 74 [Save the North Sea]

(The League has been cheering Shigoro for a long time, full of gratitude, and will continue to work hard.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The Liaodong Cavalry Commander, led the guards of the White Wolf City in western Liaoning, and the Liaoxi Bailang Camp cavalry Sima Taishici, and met with the North Sea Prime Minister Kong Envoy."

"Oh my! Rong is so good that he can get two people from thousands of miles to cross the sea to help him. Please beg for a prayer."

At the Beihai Prime Minister's Mansion in Duchang, Kong Rong knelt on the mat, raised his hips and stood up, closed his sleeves, his arms straight, and his crown and head upright. He gave a standard bow to Ma Han and Tai Shi Ci.

Ma Han and Taishi Ci sat on both sides and returned the same respect.

Kong Rong really didn't know which gust of wind blew a Liaodong cavalry commander and a Liaoxi cavalry Sima to the Beihai. However, as a person from Lu, he was re-elected for five years and was very familiar with the geography of Qingzhou. Kong Rong also understood that Qingzhou seemed extremely far away from Liaodong, but in fact he looked across the sea, and only had a day and night trip. When he learned that Taishi Ci came to repay his kindness by his mother's order, Kong Rong was very moved. He drank and pecked in the world, and he had his own cause and effect.

History is a little bit plausible when it comes to Duchang. If Taishi Ci had not met Ma Han, he would still be a commoner. Although he was ordered by his mother to break into Duchang, which made Kong Rong very moved, he would never get such courtesy, and he would not be able to take charge of the troops to attack the thieves. It is one thing for Kong Rong to be grateful to him, but it is another thing for him to use him. If you want to do things around people like Kong Rong, you don’t have a family background, a filial and honest identity, or a Maocai status. Of course, if you are willing to be a middle-level military officer, that’s OK.

In history, Taishi Ci rode alone to save Beihai, and such a wise and brave man could not be used by Kong Rong in the end. This shows that.

However, today, Taishici's life trajectory has changed. He met Kong Rong as a cavalry Sima of the White Wolf Camp in western Liaoning, which is an extraordinary meaning. In addition, there is also a cavalry commander Ma Han who has a position that is almost the same as Kong Rong, so Kong Rong cannot help but treat each other equally.

Ma Han looked at the 20th generation grandson of the Wen Sheng: he was about 40 years old, with a majestic crown and a handsome face. His three beautiful beards were trimmed very neatly, wearing a Shu brocade robe and a large sleeve, with very well-maintained thin white palms, and holding a shaved tail (whisk). Every time he talked, he would gently brush the tail, his demeanor was calm and composed. He was very elegant.

When the two sides were talking, Ma Han noticed that Taishi Ci was very reserved when he answered Kong Rong, and was very respectful. He didn't know whether it was because of his gratitude to Kong Rong or because of his reputation. Ma Han didn't pay much attention to it, and he could see that. Although he was only half a level away from Kong Rong in office, Kong Daming Shishi did not take him seriously at all. In this era, a person only looked at two things, either from reputation or from origin. In this regard, Ma Han was even worse than Taishi Ci. At least he was innocent and had a reputation as a righteous man in Qingzhou. As for Ma Han, who knew where you got it. As for reputation, he was famous in the northern part of Liao, but in Qingzhou, who knew which onion he was?

If Kong Rong was still a little enthusiastic about Taishi Ci, he was just lukewarm.

Ma Han is not interested. You can't ask everyone to respect you. All you can do is do what people respect. Cough a few times and take over the chorus: "What do you want from the Yellow Turban Thief in the Unknown Siege?"

Kong Rong snorted coldly: "The thief leader was bold and wanted to threaten Rong to provide 10,000 stones of grain and 100 pieces of armor, otherwise he would rob him after breaking the city. As the prime minister of the North Sea and the guardian of the country, how could he feed the wolf and rob and rob the people everywhere, poison the common people and harm the other side?"

Wanshi Grain, well, Ma Han knew that Beihai had always been rich, so there would be no big problem to take out Wanshi Grain and 100 pieces of armor. Kong Rong did not give it, but it was mostly because the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou was too strong, and his power was like a tiger. If he was fed, it would be like raising a tiger. In the end, he was still the one who suffered. From this point of view, Kong Rong still understood people.

Taishici couldn't help but say, "Empress, how strong is Duchang's troops? How about armor? Are there cavalry?"

Kong Rong glanced at him lightly and said, "There are thousands of soldiers in the county, more than a thousand righteous people, excellent armor, and several cavalrymen."

Taishi Ci bowed his hand to serve as a ritual and said suddenly: "Please send out five hundred soldiers, and Ci is willing to drive forward and drive out this mob for the envoy."

Kong Rong twisted his beard and smiled: "Zi Yi is brave and fierce, and I know it. However, more than ten thousand thieves are not the courage of ordinary men. Did Zi Yi lead his troops to come?"

Taishi Ci was about to speak, but Ma Han said, "It's difficult to cross the sea, and only more than a hundred soldiers were killed."

Kong Rong shook his head: "Too little, too little, it will be useless."

Ma Han said calmly: "However, what is the intention of the envoy?"

Kong Rongli swept his tail and said calmly: "There is nothing else, I'm going to stand for help."

Ma Han and Taishi Ci looked at each other, and it was difficult to understand why Kong Rong, who had excellent armor and strong military strength, dared not go out to the city to fight. This is actually a reason. Kong Rong was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of a well rope for ten years. As early as the second year of Chuping (190), Kong Rong was just appointed as the prime minister of Beihai. He was full of energy and was determined to do a great cause. He summoned the scholars and civilians in Beihai, gathered troops to speak out, issued a proclamation, and wrote letters in person, exchanged voices with the prefectures and counties, and planned together, which made a lot of noise.

The following year, Kong Rong felt that the time was ripe, so he was confident that he would unite the nearby Qi State and Le'an State to jointly fight against the Yellow Turban Thief Zhang Rao. As a result, he was defeated and even the old Suppression Ju County was captured. He had to transfer to Zhuxu County and retreated to Duchang soon. Since then, Kong Rong was like a phoenix with her feathers removed, not even as good as a chicken. He dared not speak of suppressing the thief, and even came to the door to fight. This is a typical example of the extreme confidence to extremely cowardice.

After a while, Taishi Cicai had no choice but to ask: "Where will you wait for for help?"

Kong Rong coughed lightly: "I heard that the Prime Minister of Pingyuan Liu, who was born in a royal family, had enough soldiers and generals. He has been through a long battle, and the plain is only hundreds of miles away from the North Sea... It's a pity that there are no brave soldiers in Duchang City, so he cannot break through the city and ask for help."

Taishici looked at Ma Han in a way that asked for instructions, and Ma Han smiled faintly. Taishici immediately stood up and said resolutely: "Ci is willing to go to the plains for the envoy to go to the plains, and he will definitely ask Envoy Liu."

Kong Rong shook his head and said, "Now the siege is very close, and everyone says it is difficult to break through. Although Ziyi has ambitions, this matter is really too difficult."

Taishi Ci replied: "In the past, the envoy was willing to take care of his mother. The envoy was grateful to the envoy, and he sent Ci to help the envoy for the urgent need. This is what Ci should be worth, and this will definitely benefit the envoy. Now everyone says that it is not possible to break through, and if Ci says it is not impossible, so how can the envoy love the friendship and the original intention of the envoy to send the envoy? The situation is urgent, so I hope the envoy must agree."

Kong Rong stared at Taishi Ci in a daze, got up for a while, held Taishi Ci's hand, and sighed: "Ziyi is really my young friend!"

After Ma Han and Kong Rong finished his thoughts, he said leisurely: "If you invite Envoy Liu, you must say that you will be fine for the rewards. Otherwise, if Envoy Liu asks about it, Ziyi will be embarrassed."

Kong Rong laughed loudly and shook his tail: "If Envoy Liu can retreat, he will add 10,000 stones of grain and a hundred armors. I will not give it to the Yellow Turban Thief, but I can give it to Envoy Liu."

Ma Han immediately beat the snake and followed the stick: "If Envoy Liu sends troops, it is the best, but there must be a saying of success or failure in everything. If Envoy Liu cannot send troops, but there are other princes willing to send troops to help, this reply..."

Kong Rong did not hesitate: "The answer is as before, and there is no discount."

"Okay!" This is what Ma Han wants.

In history, Liu Bei led 3,000 troops to attack, but Guan Hai ran away before he took over a battle. Liu Bei was in vain, and he gained reputation, and gained prestige and gained benefits. Although there was no record in "The Three Kingdoms", you can think of it with your toes. If you send thousands of troops to help you, you will say "Thank you, buddy." It's all over? If you don't say too much, you have to pay the price for this? You have to give the food and grass? You have to take care of people eating horses? You have to have it?

Very good, now that I am here, I will be fine without you Liu Da'er.

Kong Rong was one of the seven sons of Jian'an who were famous in the Three Kingdoms era. He played with a pen tip and was indeed famous for his eternal eternity. He was even worse than using swords and guns. This was the first famous scholar of the Three Kingdoms that Ma Han saw. Unexpectedly, this weak chicken made Ma Han feel light in his heart.

After walking out of the prime minister's mansion and returning to the temporary residence of Kong Rong, Ma Han asked Taishi Ci with a smile: "If you really want to break through the siege again, what kind of Pingyuan Prime Minister Liu Jun asks for help?"

Taishici also smiled sly: "With me two hundred wolf teeth flying cavalry, why do you need Liu Pingyuan? What I want is not breaking through, but siege."

Ma Han laughed loudly, and gave Taishi Ci a thumbs up, attracted Yingnu, and wrote a line of code words on a small parchment roll with a special black charcoal pen, and handed it to Yingnu.
