Section 15: Establishing Power

After hearing this, Cao Chong put down the teacup in his hand, and seemed to have no idea that Yu Jing's anger and jealousy were heard. It seemed that Yu Jing was asking him sincerely, and he was humble with a broad mind that you said he was fat and he immediately breathed: "Mr. Yu is too much. The boy is not talented. It is purely a sincere heart for a boy. Although the boy is inferior, he really wants to do something practical for the country and the people, so these talents will help him. Since the gentleman is so sincere, then the boy will introduce him to him."

As he said that, he showed an embarrassing smile as if it were true. Yu Jing's chest was blocked and his throat was sweet. Then he pointed to Pang Tong and said, "This Jiang Gan, Jiang Ziyi and Wenhou and Wen Zichun have already met each other, so I won't say much. This is Mr. Feng Chu, Pang Shiyuan, Pang Shiyuan, and Mr. Feng Chu, are from Xiangyang. I think the teacher has heard of it. This is Zhang Song and Zhang Yongnian, a talented man in Sichuan. He has a talented person who has never been remembered. He has many ideas and is also a talented person. This Le Qing and Le Xuanyu is the eldest son of General Le Wenqian, a versatile and brave man. He has the style of General Zhe Chong, and he is also a talented person in the future..."

He pointed at him one by one, and the more Yu Jing's face became ugly, the more he heard it, General Zhe Chong's son was a clerk, the nephew of the famous general Wen Pin as a guide, the divine hand Deng Zhan, and the son of the Wuwei Captain Xu Qian as a guard. Sun, this man is really hidden and has many capable people. No wonder he is so successful and full of energy. Compared with him, Tiele, the young master from Tiejiabao he brought, was indeed not worthy of carrying shoes for others.

Cao Chong seemed to have never seen Jing's ugly face. He finished introducing it one by one. Then he smiled and said, "I'm ashamed that the boy is a little uninformed and wronged them. If he was under the Prime Minister's account, they would be afraid that they would become famous all over the world. Of course, someone like Mr. Fengchu would become famous all over the world long ago."

Yu Jing cursed in his heart that the bullshit dragon and phoenix chicks were all blown by Pang Degong. I have been in Xiangyang for many years and have never heard of any amazing deeds, but this subordinate should not be underestimated. He admires Pang Shiyuan so much. Is Pang Shiyuan really talented?

He thought for a while, his eyes rolled, and he thought, "No matter whether he has talent or not, I am the think tank of these five thousand people. I can't meet my conditions. No matter what you want to enter Fangling County, there is no door." He smiled and said, "Young Master's account is indeed full of talents. Yu Jing opened his eyes today. He should have asked all the talents for advice and help. But a pity, this place is not a place for outings after all, so let's talk about the current war."

Cao Chong sneered in his heart: "You can't stand it anymore, okay. Let you talk first and see what your idea is." He nodded with a smile and said, "Sir, you might as well say it directly. If Kuai Yuanji has something wrong with the ground, you must give you justice."

Yu Jing snorted. He drank the tea in the cup carefully, threw it to the ground, and held his thigh with his hand and said with a high voice: "Kuai Yuanji relied on the family background of the Kuai family and got the eldest son of Fangling, but he didn't know that although Fangling was small, it was a place where thousands of people of the great men made peace. After he took office, he did not want to benefit the people, but only knew how to plunder the land in the mountains. He shipped the whole ship to Xiangyang, regardless of the lack of food and clothing, and could not survive. Therefore, the leader of my village was the first to be Chuangyi, and led the mountain people to surround Fangling, and wanted to go to the court for this corrupt official, declare justice for the people, and return a stable and peaceful world in the mountains."

Cao Chong looked at Kuai Jing, who looked frustrated, and did not comment on Jing Di's words. He did not nod or shook his head. He did not agree or refute. Of course he knew that this was just a scene before the bargaining price. The drama had not started yet. He smiled calmly, lowered his eyes and looked at the ear cups that were steaming and tea-scented. He casually said to Yu Jing, who stopped to see his attitude: "Sir, please continue."

Yu Jing saw Kuai Jing's expression nervousness and thought that Kuai Jing had been cleaned up by Cao Chong. He couldn't help but look at Kuai Jing and curled his lips, covered his mouth and coughed softly. He took the opportunity to look at Cao Chong and the people around him. Seeing that Cao Chong's face was calm, there was no sign of attitude on his face. Pang Tong and others were even more focused on the tea in front of him, as if they were immersed in the fragrance of tea, and they didn't hear his words at all.

"My village leader is dedicated to the people, is familiar with the situation in the mountains, and is very close to all ethnic groups and villages. This time, I am so respectful to you. I will take it as the leader of the alliance and I will do my best to do this. We have decided to discuss and unanimously demand that the court punish the corrupt official Kuai Qi severely punish the property plundered by Kuai Qi, and at the same time, we are considerate of the people, give the people kindness, and exempt the taxes of Fangling Xicheng for three years..." Seeing that Cao Chong had not argued, Yu Jing said the more he spoke, he became more and more smoothly. After a while, he made more and more requests. He felt that he was a little dry, so he picked up the tea that Deng Ai had added for him and took a sip, and stopped to see Cao Chong's face.

Cao Chong pondered for a while, and saw that he stopped talking, then said, "Mr. Yu and the master of Shenzhai were dedicated to serving the people. These requirements were generally not excessive. However, the boy could not agree all of them for a while. Some things had to be checked before answering, and some things were not decided by the boy. They had to be reported to Yizhou and Hanzhong County before reporting to the court. As for Kuai Qi, since he had reached this point, he did not have to report to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I am afraid that Hanzhong Prefect Zhang Gongqi (Zhang Lu) and Yizhou Patriarch Liu Jiyu (Liu Zhang) would not spare him easily. Once the property he plundered was verified, as long as it was true, it would be returned in full. If it was damaged, it would naturally be compensated at a price. There are people in the Kuai family here, and I think there is no problem."

When Kuai Jing heard this, sweating came out and nodded repeatedly: "As long as you follow the instructions of the young master."

Cao Chong nodded: "Most of what Mr. Yu said is reasonable, but all of this must be said after I saw Fang Ling's chief Kuai Qi first. First, some things need to be confronted. Both parties can clearly explain things so that they can investigate the matter. They can neither cheapen bad people nor wrong good people. What's more, Kuai Qi is wrong, and this besieged the county town..." Cao Chong stopped his words and his tone suddenly became serious: "It is also my Han Dynasty law. You have been besieging the city for more than half a month. It seems that you have attacked Fang Ling's county town. Whether Kuai Qi is alive or dead, I know nothing. If Kuai Qi is safe, he will naturally be unable to escape the severe punishment of the law, but if Kuai Qi has any faults, this matter will be complicated. At that time, I will not be able to do something big or small."

Yu Jing smiled disdainfully: "Kuai Yuanji is as timid as a mouse. Since the day he besieged the city, he has never seen him at the top of the city. I think this kind of rat is not easy to die." He glanced at Kuai Jing, who was ashamed and angry, and continued: "Even if there is only one person left in the city, he must be the master of the Kuai family."

"Yu Anping, don't bully people too much." Kuai Jing couldn't stand the feeling of being pointed at the nose in front of him, and stood up suddenly. He pulled out half of the long sword and cursed angrily. Yu Jing looked disdainful, raised his face and snorted heavily at Kuai Jing. Kuai Jing was furious and was about to step forward and cut off the surname Yu, but when he saw the Hengdao glaring at the subway, and then looked at Cao Chong, who looked unhesitant, had to suppress the stuffiness in his chest and sat down heavily. He picked up the teacup and poured it into his mouth. A small half of the tea was in his mouth, and a large half of the tea was sprinkled on his chest, dripping everywhere.

Yu Jing smiled contemptuously, turned his head to Cao Chong and said, "Young Master's good intentions. I'll appreciate it. But the young master is going to enter the city, I'm afraid that I haven't finished my words yet."

Cao Chong smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Since that's the case, why don't you finish your words at once?"

Yu Jing pondered for a while: "My village leader thinks that although Kuai Qi cannot escape the severe punishment of the law, I am afraid that another one may not be stronger than Kuai Qi. They are not familiar with the situation in the mountains, and they only think that they will change their duties as soon as the three-year term arrives. They rely on their family forces to continue plundering, and only think that they have a trip to the mountains. Therefore..." He stopped his words, stared at Cao Chong, and said slowly: "My village leader and all the leaders think that it is best that people who are familiar with the situation in the mountains can ensure safety."

Cao Chong gently put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at Yu Jing with a little meaningful look: "I wonder what kind of person is suitable for being the head of the Fangling? Is there a suitable candidate?"

Seeing that Cao Chong was not angry, Yu Jing asked about the candidate and felt relieved. He showed a smug smile, and did not immediately answer Cao Chong's words, but picked up the teacup. He picked up the teacup leisurely and reached towards Deng Ai. Cao Chong looked at Deng Ai holding the teapot and replenished water into his cup. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Is it because Mr. Yu is talking about yourself?"

Yu Jing shook his head: "Although Yu Jing has a young talent, he dare not be ruthless. If you want to be familiar with the situation in the mountains, it is naturally the two masters of my Shen family. The two masters of the village have lived in the mountains for a long time and have a tacit understanding with all the leaders and have always had a good relationship. If the director of the Dazhai, Fang Ling, and the director of the second village, can be promoted to Yongchang, then the mountains will naturally be peaceful, which will be beneficial to the court and the people in the mountains."

Cao Chong laughed, put down the teacup in his hand and sat upright, looking at Yu Jing and said, "Sir's advice is good, but there are some inappropriate points. After reading books, he should know the laws of my Han Dynasty. The officials must first recommend someone, and then evaluate it by the Prime Minister's Office, and then be appointed according to their posts. Although the two masters of the Shen family are talented, they have never served as local officials and have not been recommended by anyone. I am afraid that they are not suitable for being the chief of Fangling and Shangyong Chang for a while, I am afraid that they cannot quench the near thirst. I, Cao Chong, are not talented and want to meet two masters. If Mr. Zhen said, I would like to be the person who recommends it, what do you think?"

Yu Jing was gloomy when he heard this: "Young Master is a false statement. Although this Han law has such regulations, it has not been implemented for many years. How many officials of this Han Dynasty have passed this way to become official positions? Don't you know that the young master bullies me? Not to mention it, the Yizhou governor Liu Jiyu was appointed by the court? The Hanzhong prefect Zhang Gongqi was appointed by the government? Didn't he take up the place by himself because he has soldiers and money, and appointed officials by himself. Since the young master is ordered by the prime minister to guard Xiangyang, is there no such rights? Since that is the case, please go back to Xiangyang first, and wait until my village leader takes Fangling and Shangyong, and then go to visit the young master again, so as not to make things difficult for the young master."

"It turns out that the Shen family also wants to seize the rule." Pang Tong smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why didn't he take Xicheng too? Wouldn't it be more convenient to have a gentleman be the chief of Xicheng?"

"Do you think we can't? It's not impossible, but not." Yu Jing snorted, glanced at Pang Tong with a squint, and then looked at Cao Chong: "Young Master thinks Yu Jing's suggestion is good? This will prevent you from explaining to the Prime Minister. When my village leader takes over Fangling and manages this Fangling in a good mood, it will also give you a glory to your face."

Cao Chong curled his lips: "It seems that Mr. Yu has been in the mountains for many years, and he is not very clear about many things. Now the Central Plains has been settled. Although he dare not say that the world is unified, it is not the time when thousands of people can dominate one side more than ten years ago. How many troops in the Shen family are stronger than Yuan Benchu? Better than Yuan Gaolu? Is he stronger than the unyielding Lu Fengxian? Or is he stronger than the Yellow Turban Army that swept the world? He is actually thinking about such beautiful things, which is really a joke. Mr., this think tank is not done properly. I am afraid it will bring disaster to the Shen family. I advise Mr., to be cautious in making plans for others, and not to accidentally ruin the lives of hundreds of people in the Shen family."

Yu Jing's face suddenly turned pale. He was stunned for a moment, and he smiled and said, "It turns out that the young master didn't take the Shen family seriously at all. The Shen family is not as powerful as those people, but don't forget it. This is a mountain, and it is full of mountain people. Even if the Prime Minister's army of more than 100,000 will be placed in the mountains, it will be a waste of money. What can I do if the Shen family is not many, only thousands of powerful soldiers, and one of the villages is not as solid as a decent. Only 100,000 soldiers will be besieged for a year, but it may not be possible to break the village. If the young master doesn't believe it, you might as well try it. If Yu Jing is not talented, he will not be with him. Goodbye!"

He took two steps. Seeing that Cao Chong did not get up to keep him as he wished, he still smiled disapprovingly. Thinking of himself coming with hope, he returned empty-handed. He couldn't help but feel disappointed and angry. He turned around and pointed at Cao Chong and said, "I heard that the young man is rare and famous. Now I see him at first sight. However, this is probably what Kong Wenju said, "It's not necessarily good to be young when he is young." The young man is too young, so it's safer to return to the Prime Minister's knees. Don't lose your life. I don't know why."

Cao Chong was overjoyed. You were finally angry and angry, and he said nothing. He lowered his face and said nothing, but Pang Tong understood it. He grew up and raised his body, and pointed the halberd Yu Jing shouted loudly: "Bold, ignorant, dare to be rude to the young master. Take it down!"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Yi and Li Wei, behind Cao Chong, rushed over like arrows. Li Wei grabbed Yu Jing's arm that had not had time to withdraw. He kicked him into the air with one foot. Then he used one hand to force him to the ground and stepped heavily on his back. This kick made Yu Jing not come up in one breath and immediately fell into a state of half-distance.

Tiele was stunned for a moment, and then realized it. He immediately pulled out the knife and rushed up, raised the long sword high and slashed Li Wei's back. Before he could touch Li Wei, he felt a flash in front of him. The long sword at his waist was not even pulled out. Xu Yi blocked him with both hands. Xu Yi stretched out his hands, pinched the back of the long sword in Tiele's hand with his right hand, and poked Tiele's chest with his left fingers like a halberd. Tiele suddenly felt as if he was hit hard between his chest and abdomen. He felt a huge pain, and immediately let go of the long sword in his hand and fell to the ground.

Xu Yi sneered, looked at Tiele who was in pain and fell to the ground. He pinched Tiele's long knife with both hands, slowly used force, and with a click, he broke the long knife about half an inch thick on his back, and then threw the two cuts in front of Tiele who was stunned.

Cao Chong stood up, walked slowly to Yu Jing's ground, and slowly poured the tea in his hand on Yu Jing's face. Yu Jing was stimulated by the hot tea and slowly woke up from a semi-coma state. He looked at Cao Chong resentfully, gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "The two countries will fight for military service, and if they don't kill them, do you, don't even understand these rules?"

"This is just a rebel and a soldier, not a two-way country that is fighting. You dare to be so arrogant in front of me without even understanding this?" Cao Chong threw his ear cup on Yu Jing's face and waved his hand: "I'm not a messenger, but a madman with a look at the law, a scum who reads the books of sages but does things like traitors, and a villain who ignores his family and is committed to thieves but is shameless. What's wrong with it? I'm just regretting that my knife was tainted by people like you."

He turned around and waved disdainfully, "Drag it out, kill it, stay away, don't let him dirty my eyes."

Li Wei responded, lifted Yu Jing, who looked disgusted with one hand and walked to the side. Yu Jing was carried by the tall Li Wei, like a helpless cock, struggling desperately, and cursed as he walked: "Zhu Zi, you must die well, you don't follow the rules..." Before he finished speaking, Li Wei raised his hand and slapped his face, and hit the words he hadn't finished scolding back into his stomach. Half of his face immediately became swollen. Yu Jing purred twice, spitting out a mouthful of blood and a few teeth. He was about to scold again, but Li Wei threw it on the ground like a broken bag, holding the scabbard in one hand and the hilt in the other hand. The light of the knife flashed. Yu Jing's big head was so excited that it was about to fly up to a foot high, and then rolled down into the dust. His eyes were wide open, looking at Li Wei who had already been scabbard after the slash.

Tiele looked nowhere. He looked at Li Wei who was walking back slowly, and then looked at Xu Yi standing in front of him like a god. His face turned pale. He was knocked down by Xu Yi empty-handedly in a short time. His long sword was broken by Xu Yi. Then he admired Li Wei's sword technique that was so fast that he could not see clearly. The young man once flew out of the sky. He glanced at Deng Zhan, who was joking with Pang Tong and others in a straight face. He admired him for what he said that he could only achieve success after practicing for another three years. He was so proud that he always thought he was a master of the younger generation. Now he knew that those foolish opinions were just frogs in the well. He even had some doubts about what kind of wise master he had to meet for three years to reach the realm of these two men in front of him who seemed to be about the same age as him.
