Chapter 1316 Zheng Xuan

Zheng Xuan is seventy years old and has gray hair and beards. His years of studying at desks have made his back carry like a bow. His originally tall body is hunched over, thin and small, shrinking into a ball, which makes people feel distressed.

Cui Yan held Zheng Xuan, felt the skinny arms under the sleeves of the robe, and couldn't help crying as he heard Zheng Xuan's breathing like a few years ago. Zheng Xuan was much older, so he asked him to ride a car and traveled thousands of miles to Junyi, especially through Yanzhou, where the epidemic had not yet ended. It was too cruel and almost the same as his life. Cui Yan originally planned to reject Yuan Tan's gift, but now he changed his mind. Yuan Tan's carriage was spacious and bright, and it was very stable to walk. It was better than any Pulu, and could sit or lie down. It was the most needed ride for Zheng Xuan now.

Cui Yan personally cleaned the inside and outside of the vehicle and asked Zheng Xuan to get on the car to rest. Zheng Xuan was exhausted and needed a rest urgently. He did not think deeply, but just regarded it as a gift from his student Cui Yan, so he accepted it calmly. His grandson Zheng Xiaotong accompanied him, while several other students accompanied him gathered around Cui Yan to reminisce about the past. Seeing Cui Yan, Yuan Tan and Guo Tu, they gave the teacher such a beautiful carriage as soon as they met. They were envious, especially Liu Yan, a native of Lu, who loved it. He even made excuses to go up and sit for a while. After getting off the car, he was amazed, especially when he praised the glass window.

Cui Yan introduced them to Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan was very humble and talked little, and listened most of the time. He was neither domineering like a noble son nor the rough and generous like a general who was often commanded by soldiers. The experience of being captured for half a year polished the glitz on him, making him look like a piece of unworthy jade, and a hint of sadness, which made people inexplicably feel a little more sympathy for him.

When Zheng Xuan left Beihai, Zhengfeng said that Sun Ce was about to enter Qingzhou. Many people were very concerned about the situation in their hometown. They had never seen Sun Ce before, and they didn't know what kind of person Sun Ce was. There were many rumors. Some said he was good, some said he was a saint, some said he was a tiger and wolf, and there were many conflicts with each other. Cui Yan had been traveling for many years and had just come from Runan and knew a lot about Yuzhou, so everyone asked him about it.

Cui Yan roughly explained what he knew, and he specifically mentioned Cheng Bing. He was an ordinary scholar and had never met Sun Ce. Everything he saw and heard from the people. Cheng Bing was a priest in Runan County. He had a lot of opportunities to meet Sun Ce and was also clear about the situation in Runan. Cui Yan met him when he passed by Pingyu and heard him talk about a lot of things.

Although classmates are intimate, they will inevitably compete with each other. I heard that Cheng Bing was the priest of the county school of Runan County, Liu Yan and others were very complicated. From Zheng Xuan to study, they rushed to Junyi to meet Yuan Shao from a long distance, so naturally they hoped to seek a job. After all, there are a few people like Zheng Xuan who are dedicated to academic research. Most people still want to become officials and earn a salary while glorifying their ancestors. Cheng Bing is a relatively young classmate, but now he has become a county school of priest. This career is not only smooth, but also rare. Many people start from officials, and have complicated affairs, but county school of priest is a wise man. While doing academic research, they teach their disciples. In the future, they will have a lot of students all over the world, comparable to two thousand stones. More importantly, the salary of the county school of priest of the county school of priest is a rich one, which is a real two thousand stones, which is simply a gain of fame and fortune.

Guo Tu watched coldly. Seeing Cui Yan praising Runan's new policy, Yuan Tan was indifferent. He couldn't help but feel anxious. It was useless to wink a few times, so he had to pull Yuan Tan aside. "Xiansi, do you know why I want to bring you to welcome Zheng Kangcheng? This is the Four Elders of Shangshan."

Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was ashamed. They were about to break up, and at most three or five days, Zheng Xuan would meet Yuan Shao. He was a well-known scholar in the country, and Yuan Shao attached great importance to his opinions. If Zheng Xuan could praise Yuan Tan in front of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao would not take it lightly. With Zheng Xuan's recognition and Cui Yan's introduction, it would be much easier for Yuan Tan to recruit Zheng Xuan's disciples in the future.

Zheng Xuan is a great Confucian scholar in Kanto. His status in the academic world is comparable to that in Ma Rong. He has many disciples. More than 10,000 people are worshipped by him, and countless well-known people are countless. With this relationship, are you worried that you will not be able to recruit talents in the future?

Yuan Tan cheered up and was about to go to see him, but Guo Tu grabbed him again. "Do you know what to say?"

Yuan Tan's eyes flashed. "Sir, please give me advice."

"Ask Meng Mingshi's story."

Yuan Tan understood the truth, organized some language, boarded the carriage, and knelt in front of Zheng Xuan's couch. Zheng Xuan knew Yuan Tan's identity, so he didn't dare to be arrogant, so he forced himself to stand up and ask him warmly. Yuan Tan kowtowed again and again and asked Zheng Xuan a question.

"I dare to ask Mr. Zheng, how should Meng Mingshi serve his king and father when he was defeated and captured?"

"Bang!" With a loud bang, a projectile roared in the middle of the stone thrower. The clay pot was split into pieces, and black grease splashed everywhere. The force of operating the stone thrower shouted in horror and fled in all directions. After a few breaths, several crossbow arrows broke through the wind, and two of them were nailed to the stone thrower. The fire quickly ignited the oil and wax. The fire quickly ignited, thick smoke rolled, and flames rose, swallowing the stone thrower.

The Liyou stood in the distance, staring helplessly at the burning stone thrower.

Yuan Shao's face turned pale, he swayed his sleeves, got off the platform, jumped onto the war horse, and headed straight for the central army camp.

Ju Su and others did not dare to neglect them, and they followed one after another, but no one dared to say a word. Although Yuan Shao had a significant numerical advantage for two days of the battle, he could not bear to see the results. He spent a lot of effort to finally dry the adobe in the projectile. However, the stone thrower they used a lot of manpower and material resources to build was firmly suppressed by the city and could not play their due role at all.

The biggest function of these stone throwers is the target used by stone throwers in the city. Whenever a stone thrower is hit and caught fire, a cheer sounds from the city. When the two sides fought for two days and two nights, nearly half of the stone throwers were burned. The black grease was very sticky and could not be wiped off when it was stained. It was difficult to extinguish it with water. Once the stone thrower was hit, he could only watch it burned into charred wood.

Yuan Shao didn't know what oil it was, and Ju Su and others didn't know. The information was always under the responsibility of Guo Tu. When he left the business, Yuan Shao became a deaf and blind man, and he didn't know what tricks his opponent used. He was holding a fire in his heart, and the more it burned, the more it became, the more fierce it became, and even his eyes were red.

After entering the central army camp, Yuan Shao was about to enter the tent, when he suddenly heard a singing sound from the distant position. He looked back and listened with his ears. He only vaguely heard his name, but did not know anything else. He waved to Zhang He and asked Zhang He to send someone to the front of the formation to see who was singing and what he sang. Zhang He sent someone to him, and Yuan Shao stood and listened for a moment. At this time, a southeast wind happened to come, and the singing suddenly became clear. After listening for a moment, Yuan Shao suddenly changed his face, pulled out his charisma from his waist, and shouted loudly.

"How dare the rats do this? I will not be in harmony with you and will never stop until death!"
