The imperial envoy who was very troubled by Chen Deng was not a man, but was the one who was about to be a master craftsman and was a servant of the envoy.

Kong Rong, whose courtesy name was Wenju, was a native of Lu. He was the third son of Confucius and the 20th generation grandson of Confucius. During the reign of Emperor Ling, he once set up the Situ Yang Ci Mansion. In the early years of Zhongping, he was promoted to the position of the position and served as the censor. He was disagreeing with the then Zhongcheng and resigned after he was ill. Later, he set up the Sikong Mansion as a subordinate, appointed as the Central Army, and was promoted to the General of the Huben Zhonglang.

In the first year of Emperor Xian's Chuping, Kong Rong was almost cut off his head because he offended the Grand Tutor Dong Zhuo, who was in power at that time. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo entered the capital shortly after that, it would be detrimental to kill a famous figure like Kong Rong. In addition, the great scholar Cai Yong helped him plead for mercy, Kong Rong had to save his life, but was demoted to the prime minister of Beihai County, Qingzhou, where the Yellow Turban Thiefs were the most prosperous.

Dong Zhuo's move was obvious, and he intended to kill people with a knife. If he could use the Yellow Turban thief to get rid of Kong Rong, the guy who was in trouble, it would undoubtedly be the best result.

The development of the matter was just as Dong Zhuoru predicted. In the second year of Chuping, the Yellow Turban Thief Guan Hai led a large number of people to attack Beihai. Kong Rong and a scholar led his army to fight. He was defeated and returned. He had to retreat to the city. After being trapped for more than a month, Kong Rong sent the Donglai native Taishi Ci out of the city for help. Taishi Ci led his bow and shot several people out of the thief. The thieves were all surprised and dared not go forward.

After Taishici broke through the encirclement, he rushed to the Pingyuan Prime Minister Liu Bei for help. Liu Bei had few soldiers, so he borrowed thousands of troops from the prefect of Beiping Gongsun Zan. He Zan led Zhao Yun of Changshan to defeat Guan Hai and broke the Beihai encirclement.

In the second year of Xingping, Tao Qian died, Liu Bei led the governor of Xuzhou and recommended Kong Rong as the governor of Qingzhou. In the first year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao sent his eldest son Yuan Tan to attack Qingzhou. He defeated Tian Kai in the north and defeated Kong Rong in the south. After the fall of Beihai City, Kong Rong ran alone, and his wife was captured.

It is precisely because of Kong Rong's experience of being the prefect of Beihai that people in the world say that Kong Rong was often called "Kong Beihai" when he was, and Kong Rong was happy and received it.

In the autumn of the same year, Cao Cao moved Emperor Xian to Xuchang and conquered Kong Rong as a general to work as a master craftsman. He moved to Shaofu. A year later, he added the envoy to the servant Pushe.

Kong Rong was always talented, was a good scholar and hospitalized guests. He made extensive friends. His poetry and essays were extremely prosperous and were highly praised by many literati. When he first arrived in Xuchang, Kong Rong and Cao Cao had a good relationship. In order to demonstrate Cao Cao's achievements in the establishment of Emperor Xian, Kong Rong even wrote poems and essays: From Luo to Xu Weiwei, Cao Gong was worried about the country's selflessness. He minus the food and the food was sweet and fat. His daughter led him to Qiqi. Although he received his salary, he was always hungry. I missed my bitterness and heart was sad.

However, a year after arriving in Xuchang, the literati habits deposited in Kong Rong's bones were undoubtedly revealed. His unruly, arrogant and unrestrained temper finally caused him trouble. During this year, Kong Rong not only regarded himself as a literati leader in public many times, but sometimes even dared to speak out about Cao Cao's decrees, especially the order for the ban on alcohol was whipped by Kong Rong.

Wine is an indispensable lifeline for Kong Rong.

In Kong Rong's heart, he can be destined to live, but he cannot abandon his integrity and fine wine.

Kong Rong's arrogance and arrogance made the talented and magnificent Cao Cao very dissatisfied. Cao Cao was both civil and military, and had a lot of knowledge in politics, military and literature. Among them, a famous work "Songli Xing" is widely circulated. Cao Cao, who was determined to unify the world, also had a strong desire for his position in the literary world, and he did not allow anyone to threaten his position.

Chen Deng saw this subtle relationship between Kong Rong and Cao Cao. Chen Deng, who was sophisticated, had already noticed it when he visited Cao Cao in Xuchang last time. People were very praised by Kong Rong's actions, but in Chen Deng's opinion, he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. Kong Rong blindly pursued innovation and relied on attacking others in exchange for his own reputation and status. Although the result of doing this will make a person become famous quickly, at the same time, more people will be offended.

What's more, although Kong Rong was a figure who firmly supported the Han Dynasty, he was also the most self-righteous and looked down on the southerners among the literati class. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the prestige of the court has declined day by day, and the powerful forces that dominated the country have expanded. Although there are very few people who blatantly proclaim themselves as emperors like Yuan Shu, there are not many who truly respect the majesty of the Han Dynasty from the heart. For this area of ​​Wu and Chu south of the Yangtze River, in the eyes of many court literati and officials who came from the Central Plains, they always thought it was just a barbarian country. Compared with the brilliant Central Plains culture, they were like fireflies and sun and moon.

Based on the above points, Kong Rong's mission to come to the south this time was really unexpected.

In advance, Chen Dengbu's secret line in Xuchang had reported that Sikong Cao Cao suggested to the emperor that he sent envoys to mediate the dispute between Gao Chong and Sun Ce, but he did not expect that the envoy would be Kong Rong.

If we only look at the background, Kong Rong, a literati, had a reputation and had no strong backer. But on the other hand, Kong Rong's reputation is his proud capital. As long as anyone accidentally offends Kong Rong, he may be despised by the vast number of well-known people who are like Kong Rong.

Chen Deng naturally knew the allusion of "there are many words, and the profits are cut off" so if he wants to be embarrassed with Kong Rong, unless this person has already grasped absolute power, he will end up like Dong Zhuo who is powerful and powerful. Gao Chong is far from offending Kong Rong now. It is really insignificant to rely on a piece of land that was killed by one sword and one shot on the battlefield and the title of Yangzhou governor in Kong Rong's eyes.

Chen Deng, who has worked hard in the officialdom for many years, has seen more thoroughly than Gao Chong. Since he has made up his mind to surrender to Gao Chong, he must do his best to help Gao Chong win the greatest interests.

Therefore, Chen Deng had to devote all his thoughts on how to welcome Kong Rong's car.

At the end of August, the scorching sun was a little poisonous. Chen Deng and his group had been standing on the exposed road for about an hour, but Kong Rong's car had not appeared yet.

"Brother, Kong Rong's arrogance is too big. He just left the messenger to Guangling in the morning, but he hasn't come yet?" Chen Deng's second brother Chen Ying, who spoke, holding a silk umbrella for shade, muttered.

"Wait a little longer!" Chen Deng's face turned pale. Although he had been waiting in the scorching sun for a long time, he had not yet sweated. However, Chen Ying and others beside him were sweating and were in a mess. Chen Deng had heard of Kong Rong's unique style, and this time he was mentally prepared.

It was almost noon, and the royal ceremonial war was late. As expected, Kong Rong's trip to the south was definitely luxurious, even bigger than the last time Xiahou Heng sent a bride. The guards next to Kong Rong were soldiers selected from Cao Cao's elite tiger and leopard cavalry. These generous athletes from the Central Plains had never seen the scenery of Jiangnan. They stretched their necks and looked around with their eyes straight.

Is Cao Cao asking the tiger and leopard cavalry to follow the south to show off his strength or to have another purpose?

Chen Deng's heart skipped a beat. Chen Deng, who had always been extremely smart, also felt the mystery of Cao Cao's thoughts.

Just as he was thinking, the car driver had arrived in front of Chen Deng, the attendant rolled up the curtain, Kong Rong tied his head and sat upright in the brocade robes. He had a tall figure, fair skin, and was restless. Although he was over 40 years old, his spirit was much better than Chen Deng, who was less than forty years old.

Chen Denggong greeted: "Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, met the special envoy!"

When Kong Rong heard this, he opened his eyes and smiled, "Yuanlong, are you okay? You two have parted in Xuchang, unexpectedly it has been a long time since you left."

Chen Deng looked up, rolled up his sleeves, and smiled and said, "The guests on the seat are always full, and the wine in the bottle is not empty. Master Kong's name is well-known for Xudu, and it is praised by many people in the world. Even if Deng is far away, he can't help but hear such a master's master's work. He is so extraordinary that he can't help but fascinate."

Hearing Chen Deng's praise, Kong Rong stepped out of the car with a smile and laughed, "Yuan Long is too humble! This time I came here to mediate Gao Chong to Jiangdong by following the emperor's imperial edict. Sun Ce's battle was about to come, Lord Sikong said that Yuan Long and Gao Chong were familiar with each other recently, and I wonder if they took it seriously?"

The Lord Sikong mentioned by Kong Rong was Cao Cao. After welcoming the Emperor, Cao Cao was originally named General, but Cao Cao used the Emperor to make the princes to anger a man: Yuan Shao, who occupied a large area of ​​Ji, Qing, and Youyan. The battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan for the land of Hebei is coming to an end. Gongsun Zan trapped Yijing and became a bird in a cage. It was only a matter of time before Yuan Shao unified Hebei.

Faced with Yuan Shao's aggressive pressure, Cao Cao, who was not as strong as the one who had no choice but to give up the position of general to Yuan Shao.

Chen Deng was shocked and his face remained motionless. There was more than a thousand miles between Xuchang and Guangling. Moreover, Cao Cao was leading troops to conquer Zhang Xiu in Wancheng in the first half of the year. When the war was in a daze, he could still make up his mind to pay attention to the situation in Jiangdong. Chen Deng and Gao Chongming had only dated after July, and Cao Cao knew so quickly.

Chen Deng said: "The Yangzhou Governor's Governor's Governor has moved to Moling on the south bank. The coach is waiting for the arrival of the envoy. I've just sent someone to ask if the car has arrived? It's getting late today. I'll rest in Guangling for one night. It's not too late to cross the river to Moling tomorrow."

Since Cao Cao already knew his decision, there was no need to hide it anymore. The title of "Pampering the Supervisor" has shown Chen Deng's intention.

"So good!" Kong Rong said carelessly.

After a few polite words, the two followed each other to Guangling City. Chen Deng looked at Kong Rong's tone of speaking coldly. Each sentence was as if the royal envoy was arrogance. As soon as he opened his mouth, he had the intention of taking over the matter. It seemed that as long as Kong Rong took action, there was nothing he could not do. Chen Deng guessed that Kong Rong must have praised Haikou in front of the emperor this time.

After getting settled Kong Rong and his party, Chen Deng hurriedly wrote a letter of review and wrote a letter of review with his own judgment, and then called Chen Ying to remind him: "Second brother, you rushed to Moling overnight and handed this letter to the coach in person. Remember not to hesitate!"

Compared with Chen Deng who was worried, Gao Chong, who was immersed in the joy of relocating the new office, was rarely full of energy. In early August, Gao Chong left 10,000 soldiers under the command of Xu Shu and Zhu Huan to guard Shenting Ridge, and led his own guards back to Yuzhang. Along the way, the victorious army was even welcomed by the people of Yuzhang.

Yuzhang, Gao Chong's mansion.

Taking advantage of the few days of meeting with the left-behind, Gao Chong summoned Gu Yong, Liu Ji, Cang Ci and other officials to discuss major events, and at the same time explained the idea of ​​moving the house. Gu Yong, who was originally from Wujun, had no objection to this, and only Liu Ji expressed his own concerns.

"The people of Yuzhang followed the favorites for a long time, and they were reluctant to give up their love. After the great disaster, if they moved the capital, they would be turbulent." After years of training in the office of the head of the head, Liu Ji is no longer the timid young master.

Gao Chong nodded in praise and asked, "What the Lord Bo said is that comforting people's hearts is indeed an urgent matter, and it needs to be carefully and carefully. I wonder what good ideas do you have?"

Liu Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "This time when he fights against Sun Ce's army, the princess is powerful and helps the war. Women are as good as men. The people are rushing to pass on the praises, which is a good story. If the princess can continue to stay in Yuzhang City for a period of time now, the people of Yuzhang can be determined!"

Liu Ji said with verbal words. Gao Chong knew that it would take a lot of courage to say this. A long separation is better than a newlywed. After several months of separation with Musa, Gao Chong's only hope was to stay with Musa forever.

That night, after the passionate warmth of Mian, Musa Jung hugged in Gao Chong's arms, lowered his head like a bird leaning on others, closed his eyes, and listened to Gao Chong's erectile and powerful heartbeat.

Gao Chong was sweating like rain. The sprint just now made him feel tired, who had never frowned when facing thousands of troops. In the fatigue, there was an incomparable pleasure. Musha's body was as vast as the sea. No matter how Gao Chong made huge waves, it disappeared into Musha's body like a mud cow entering the sea.

"Shaochong, if the two loves for a long time, how could they stay day and night?" Musha raised her head and stared at the worry between Gao Chong's eyebrows carefully. Musha, who had never loved red makeup and military uniforms, smiled slightly and said in a free and easy tone.

Gao Chong was stunned and asked, "You get it-!"

Musha gently stroked Gao Chong's undulating chest with her hands and said softly: "I heard what Liu Ji said during the day. If the people of Yuzhang need me, I will stay. Anyway, it will not take a year or two, so you can pick me up when the time comes!"

The man in his arms was so understanding that Gao Chong's heart seemed to be held by a red rope and had been tied tightly. There was only one person holding the love rope - Musa.

Gao Chong's hand slid across Musa's naked back and murmured: "You said——, how can I love you in my life!"

On this soft and fragrant night, Gao Chong, who had been so stuffy for a long time, regained his mighty style and scored twice. His passion infected Musa. The quilt on the bed suddenly hit the ground, and then rolled down two wonderful people who hugged tightly and gasped heavily.

When love reaches its depth, the fusion of sex and spirit is the whole of life. At this moment, Gao Chong and Musa, who are deeply in love with each other, no longer need to use any words. Every passionate effort is the best answer.

On August 15, the third year of Jian'an, Yiyou, the moon is full and the osmanthus is in full.

After winning the Qua Victory, Gao Chong actively led Chen Chong to the east to block Shentingling Ridge and blocked Sun Ce's invasion in the west; on the other hand, he sent envoys to Xiangyang to be so beautiful that Gao and Liu were the best. This series of measures won time for the migration of the capital.

The significance of the migration of the governor's headquarters is just as Lu Su said, which brought about changes in the entire military structure of Gao Chong's army. After Gao Chong, who originally adopted the defensive strategy, gained the initiative on the battlefield, his military situation turned into defense to offense, and instead suppressed Sun Ce in Wujun, the area of ​​Kuaiji.

Under the influence of a good situation, Gao Chong, who had been living a tight life, set up a banquet to celebrate his achievements in Moling. While celebrating the relocation of the governor's capital, Gao Chong also rewarded the soldiers and counselors who had followed him for many years.

When a person gives, he will always expect to get a satisfactory result to a greater or lesser extent.

Now, although it is not yet time for the ripe melon to fall, it should be expressed.

The human heart needs appropriate encouraging.

Only by giving kindness and power can one be willing to serve.

Gao Chong understood that the civil and military officials and generals who followed him around over the years have suffered a lot, but they have no idea, and those followers and their families will also have ideas.

Now, rewards and rewards are the best ways to stimulate soldiers to work hard.

The celebration banquet lasted for three days, and Gao Chong, who had always been unable to drink, was drunk.

"Drinking mellow wine and roasting fat cows, please call your heart to enjoy it, and you can relieve your sorrows. Life is less than a hundred years old, and you will always be worried about the longest time. The day is short and the night is long, so why not go with a candle?" During the meal, the unruly Xu Shu played the sword and sang.

What Xu Shu sang was a famous poem "Ximen Xing" in the Han Dynasty Yuefu. There is a paragraph before and after each. This poem of Yuefu has a new style and a bright style. It is a rare congratulations in the Yuefu chapters. It is suitable for occasions such as celebrating praises.

"Sun Ce is so unsatisfied that he is huddled in Wujun and never left. It's better to let me lead a general to kill him and take Sun Ce's head to talk about it!" Lei Xu had already drunk seven or eight percent after drinking the strong wine in the bottle in one sip.

Gao Chong looked around everyone. Although Lei Xu's words were a little vulgar, they also expressed the thoughts of some generals under Gao Chong. After nearly a month of rest, many soldiers who were slightly injured gradually recovered. They took down Wujun and Kuaiji in one go, and defeated Sun Ce's remnants became the wish of many soldiers who hoped to make another contribution.

When Zhu Huan, Ding Feng and other young generals saw Lei Xu provoking the conversation, they were eager to try and competed in words, and no one was willing to give up the position of pioneer to others.

Only Lu Xun, who was equally young, still had clear eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and just calmly drank wine slowly.

"Boyan, what are the good plans?" Gao Chong asked with a smile.

Lu Xun stood up and bowed and said, "The Pampered Commander, Xun thought that a centipede would die without being stiff. Sun Ce, who retreated to Wu County, has now received support from Zhu Zhi and Ling Cao, who were left behind in Wu County, Kuaiji. In addition, Jiang Qin who retreated first, the four families gathered about 20,000 troops. Although the combat power is not as good as the lost elite, it is enough to defend itself. If our army wants to eat him in one bite, it is unlikely for the time being."

When Lu Xun said this, he paused and saw that there was a look of praise in Gao Chong's eyes, he continued: "There is a military strategy: Don't chase the enemy. Although Sun Ce suffered a loss, his strength is still there. If we underestimate the enemy, we will definitely suffer the same result as Sun Ce. Therefore, even if we have superior strength, we must judge the situation and must not be strong."

Lu Xun's words were reasonable and concise, and even Lu Su, Xu Shu, and Liu Ye also looked at Lu Xun with admiration.

Liu Ye said sincerely: "Boyan is really a young hero!"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Congratulations to the Pangshang for getting this good general!"

Lu Su also smiled and said, "With Bo Yan's help, there is no worries about Jiangdong's affairs!"

"Boyan should be the first contribution to victory this time. If Shangliao City had not been destroyed, Sun Ce would have occupied the entire Yuzhang area, and we would be in panic and homeless!" Facing the generals who were accompanying each other, Gao Chong did not hide his love for Lu Xun at all.

"So, Sheng Boyan was appointed as the General of the Huwei Central Army, led 2,000 troops, and ruled 10,000 of our main forces to guard the Shenting Ridge!" Gao Chong's voice was firm and powerful.

After Taishi Ci was seriously injured, selecting who was the guard of the Eastern Front became a heart-wrenching problem in Gao Chong. Looking around the generals, although Gan Ning was the bravest of the three armies, he was better at water warfare. Xu Sheng and Zhu Huan all had the ability to defend the side, and they were not able to respond. Ding Feng, Lei Xu and Mei Gan were more than enough to charge and command the army, but they still lacked experience.

This time, Lu Xun's performance in Shang Liao suddenly lit up Gao Chong's eyes. After more than a year of training, the young Lu Xun has made great progress in combat experience and insights. He is the best candidate for being the general of the army.

When Lu Xun heard Gao Chong's promotion, he stood up and said, "Although Xun made little contributions, he was adjacent to Sun Ce on the eastern front, and the battle situation was dangerous. It was the safety of our army. If he was not a general with both wisdom and courage, he could not control him. Xun was young and vigorous, and might have the expectation of losing the commander of the pet!"

Gao Chong said seriously: "The ancients said: "They do not avoid relatives when they are selected. Although Bo Yan is close to me, it is related to the life and death of the entire army. Even if Chong is the commander, he dare not act arbitrarily. He ordered Bo Yan to leave Shenting Ridge, Yuan Zhi, Zi Jing, and Zi Yang to have this intention. Bo Yan does not have to worry about it!"

At this time, Gan Ning stepped forward and said, "The Chongshuo is right. Bo Yan has rushed thousands of miles to support Jingnan, and Shang Liao defended the city behind him. It seems ordinary between the attack and the defense, but the right and wrong generals cannot do it. He guarded Shenting Ridge, and Bo Yan cannot take this important task."
