Chapter 106 Homecoming
This time Pei Qing passed through Chen State directly.
Although this seems impolite, since King Chen, Liu Chong and Prime Minister Chen, Luo Jun, have sent envoys to congratulate him, it proves that Pei Qing's position as the governor of Yuzhou has been recognized, so this is actually not a big deal.
The facts were indeed as Pei Qing expected. When Pei Qing's army came outside the county town of Chen County, he saw the gray-haired Liu Chong and the thirty-year-old Luo Jun.
Although Old King Chen, Liu Chong, is not young, he is actually very extraordinary. According to historical records, this old man is extremely brave, good at using bows and crossbows, and has superb archery skills. He can be compared with the Shu Han general Huang Zhong. After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, all the counties around were attacked by bandits, only his Chen State did not. Because of Liu Chong's amazing martial arts, he jointly established a powerful armed force with Chen State Prime Minister Luo Jun, gathering more than 100,000 people. Although the 100,000 people here do not refer to the army, the number of troops is 40,000 to 50,000, which can be regarded as a powerful faction. The Yellow Turban thieves are all around.
In fact, this is true. Pei Qing had heard before that although the Yellow Turban bandits robbed everywhere, no one dared to invade the Chen State. Fortunately, King Chen Liu Chong and Luo Jun were just defending the Chen State and would not launch an active attack on the Yellow Turban bandits. Otherwise, they would probably have no room for survival.
Unfortunately, in history, because these two people refused to provide food and supplies for Yuan Shu, they were assassinated by Zhang Kai, the assassin sent by Yuan Shu, resulting in the Chen State becoming Chen County, and later obtained by Cao Cao.
"Meet the envoy of Pei." Although Liu Chong was the king's title, the king's title had no special administrative power at this time. He was forced to establish an army to seek self-protection. Therefore, when facing the state governor who specializes in supervising the kings and princes and local officials of the prefectures and counties, he also had to salute respectfully.
Although Pei Qing is now the governor of the two thousand stones and belongs to the local power faction, Liu Chong is a king's title after all, and he is also the uncle of the Wannian Princess Liu Ning. How can he accept the other party's worship in such a situation? So he hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang is really the last general. From the title, you are the king and I am the marquis. From the personal relationship, you are the uncle of Wannian, and I should follow her to call you Uncle Wang."
Liu Chong laughed when he heard this. He looked at Pei Qing and said, "The rules should be taken. Wannian's girl has a good vision. Pei Enjun is young and promising, and is extremely heroic. She is indeed her good match. This girl is the only daughter of her brother and the eldest sister of His Majesty. She is a little more spoiled. You should give in to her more in the future."
"Uncle Wang, don't worry, I will definitely not let her suffer grievances. It's a pity that she is deeply trapped in Chang'an now, but I can't do anything. It's okay if I can't help the country, but even my wife is left in Chang'an. I'm really ashamed."
"Haha, don't be so arrogant. You are already very good now. You haven't achieved this like that of you back then. You were young and ignorant, bewitched by villains, worshipped by the gods, but the last emperor knew about it and killed the villains. However, the emperor's kindness was great, but he did not blame Gu. Afterwards, he was really young and frivolous at that time, but Pei Jun, you were not calm, wise and brave, and have far-sighted thinking. Seeing you as beautiful and talented as a talent, I am really ashamed."
"This is Luo Xiaoyuan, right? I heard that Luo Guo is a civil and military talent. Today, I am really well-known." Pei Qing looked at Luo Guo Prime Minister Luo Jun after he spoke with Liu Chong, and praised him with full praise. This is because Pei Qing knew that Luo Jun's son Luo Tong was an important figure in the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. Although Luo Tong was not among the twelve tiger ministers in Jiangbiao, his abilities were not much worse. Moreover, the civil and military talent was definitely a very amazing figure.
Even for Luo Tong, he had to win over Luo Jun, not to mention that Luo Jun himself is a talent with both civil and military affairs.
Luo Jun quickly bowed and said, "I dare not, Pei Jun praised him." Luo Tong also said humbly after hearing this.
However, whether it was Liu Chong or Luo Tong, they only asked Pei Qing and others to pass through their defense zones, but did not propose to hand over the army to Pei Qing, the nominal commander. Pei Qing also knew that the other party was actually a separatist force, and it would be good to be able to maintain a good relationship with him. If he forcibly annexed the other party's troops at the beginning, it would probably immediately lead to direct military confrontation.
So Pei Qing was tactfully not mentioning this matter, and even didn't mention food or grass.
When Pei Qing came to Chen County, it was getting late. Liu Chong proposed as his master to ask Pei Qing to stay overnight and hold a banquet in the city to entertain Pei Qing.
It was difficult for the other party to refuse, so Pei Qing nodded and agreed. At this time, Deng Dang and others reminded Pei Qing to be careful, afraid that the other party would have any plans, and Pei Qing did not care at all. First of all, Liu Chong and Luo Jun had no ambition at all, and he had no intention of annexing his subordinates. In this way, Liu Chong had no motivation to poison him. Besides, Pei Qing is a gene expert. When he explored the genes of famous generals before, he carried a good medicine for detoxification with him. As long as he was not a poison that died immediately after taking the medicine, he could easily get rid of it. Although there are not many such drugs now, there are still some, so even if the other party really wants to poison, Pei Qing is not afraid.
Of course, Pei Qing's soldiers would station outside the city. Just after Liu Chong and Luo Jun left, Xie Lingyun suddenly stepped forward and said to Pei Qing: "Lord, Xiaguan has arrived in Chen State. I hope to return to my hometown to take a look. There are still some useful people in my family. Xiaguan wants to persuade them to serve the lord. From Chen County to Xiaguan's hometown, Yangxia, only a hundred miles, Xiaguan will come by tomorrow before dawn."
At this time, Yin Kaishan also stepped forward and said, "Lord, I want to go back to my hometown to take a look. My cousins are also capable. I hope the lord can allow them to serve the lord."
