The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 299 Two or three things that Kong Rong and Tai Shici's mother have to say...

At the beginning of the year, Kong Rong went to Beihai to take office. He passed by Taishan County and happened to meet Guan Yu who was attacking the Taishan bandits.

Guan Yu, who had never been very interested in scholars, treated Kong Rong very politely because his title of Marquis of Hanshouting was obtained by Kong Rong's performance.

In addition, both of them have long beards and Kong Rong's beard is only a little shorter than Guan Yu's, which makes Guan Yu feel good.

Of course, if Kong Rong's beard was longer than Guan Yu's...

That's another story.

Guan Yu took Kong Rong all the way to meet Liu Bei, and Liu Bei invited him to dinner on the spot to show respect, and later sent some soldiers to protect Kong Rong when he went to the post.

Even though Kong Rong hadn't fully controlled Beihai County until now when he was calling for Dong, he still sent Tai Shici with 2000 troops to support Liu Bei.

With the current military strength of the princes, these 2000 people can be regarded as veritable solidarity...

And Tai Shici, who commanded two thousand soldiers and horses, had a good reputation when he was a county official in his early years, and later left Liaodong to avoid disaster.After Kong Rong took office in Beihai, he heard about Taishici's deeds, so he treated Taishici's mother kindly and asked her to call Taishici back.

When Tai Shici heard that Kong Rong was kind to his mother, he changed his mind and returned to Beihai from Liaodong.

As soon as Tai Shici came back, Kong Rong asked him to bring people to support Liu Bei, and only then did the current scene happen.

In the camp, when Liu Bei saw Lin Chao dragging Zhang Yan in, he thought it was Zhang Yan who had kidnapped Lin Chao, so he immediately drew his sword to be on guard.At the same time, he also angrily reprimanded Zhang Yan, asking him to let go of Lin Chao, everything is easy to discuss.

It wasn't until Lin Chao explained what was going on that Liu Bei put the sword back into its sheath, warmly invited Zhang Yan and Tai Shici to sit down, and arranged a banquet at the same time.

During the banquet, Tai Shici was quite cautious about Liu Bei's enthusiasm.

After all, he was only a small official in the county before, and the biggest official he had ever met was only the prefect of Beihai.Now Liu Bei, who is Xuzhou's shepherd, personally went to win over him, which made him a little flattered.

Guan Yu, who was accompanying him, glanced at Tai Shici, saw that he also had a big beard on his chest, and he was meticulously groomed, so he nodded immediately.

This person... is extraordinary.

Lin Chao had the idea of ​​appointing Tai Shici in his heart, so he was also looking at Tai Shici, but a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

Tai Shici looks 23 or 40 years old, his legendary old mother should be less than 37 years old, and Kong Rong is only [-] or [-] years old this year...

hiss!
So, Kong Rong treated Tai Shici's mother kindly as soon as he took office. Is it because of Tai Shici, or because of his mother?
Once he had this idea, Lin Chao couldn't look directly at Tai Shici immediately.

"Marquis Lin, is there something wrong with me?"

Seeing Lin Chao looking at him strangely, Tai Shici couldn't help feeling puzzled, and asked with his fists clasped.

Lin Chao's face was full of embarrassment, and he quickly smiled coyly: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just that a certain person just lost his mind, Ziyi don't need to worry about it."

But I dare not say, if my guess is true, Tai Shici's father who died early and was greened by Kong Rong, wouldn't he jump out of the coffin and strangle him to death!

If he guessed wrong, Tai Shici would hack himself to death...

It's just that once this idea popped up, it couldn't be erased from his mind. This caused Lin Chao to feel that there was color on his head when he looked at Tai Shici again...

Is this stuff also inherited?

Lin Chao's dirty thoughts did not affect everyone's enthusiasm for the banquet.

Especially Liu Bei, seeing that his old enemy Zhang Yan was willing to raise troops to join the alliance, he was full of confidence in this challenge, and immediately ate more happily.

"Ziyi, Kong Beihai is really a man of high righteousness!" Liu Bei laughed at Tai Shici, "A certain official was in the same dynasty as him, and at the beginning of the year he was just doing his fellowship. Come to help, a certain heart is very grateful!"

Tai Shici clasped his fists and said: "The envoy is benevolent and righteous, and the prefect Kong is sent to guard the post. The eunuch knows how to repay his kindness, and orders the envoy to help the envoy in hunting down thieves. Both of you are pillars of the imperial court and loyal officials of the Han Dynasty!
Furthermore, how can I not try my best to repay my mother for the care she received from the eunuch.Come here on this trip, let your envoy drive you! "

Well, no matter from which point of view, Kong Rong took good care of Tai Shici's mother.

Liu Bei originally thought that Tai Shici was under Kong Rong's command, but when he heard that he repaid Kong Rong because of his mother, he was immediately in awe.

"Ziyi repays his mother's kindness, and he is worthy of being a benevolent and filial man!"

"I'm too ashamed to take the honor of the gentleman." Tai Shici said modestly.

On the side, Zhang Yan also echoed: "If you have an envoy leading the army, and you have righteous men like Ziyi to help you, why worry about Dong's bandit not being wiped out!"

Ever since Lin Chao coerced him into Liu Bei's camp, Zhang Yan also looked away.

Now that the deal is done, and there is no possibility of repentance, it is better to make a deal with Liu Beixu and pretend to be respectful for the time being.

Otherwise, in case of a war with Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei ordered himself to rush to the front as cannon fodder, would he go or not?
Now that you have boarded the thief ship, you must establish a good relationship with the thief leader, otherwise there is a risk of falling into the water and dying at any time.

Zhang Yan naturally understood this truth.

With Zhang Yan's flattery, Liu Bei was happier and drank more happily!
Just as everyone was playing music and dancing, suddenly a soldier came to report that Yuan Shu had arrived.

Hearing this, Liu Bei stood up, waved at everyone, and went out of his tent to greet them.

Not long after, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu returned hand in hand, followed by Sun Jian and Ma Teng.

"General Yuan, come, let's drink together!"

Liu Bei warmly greeted Yuan Shu to eat together, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to line up their desks, put two desks on the main seats, and let Yuan Shu sit with him.

Naturally, Yuan Shu would not refuse, and invited Sun Jian and Ma Teng to sit down together, and started drinking with everyone.

After eating and drinking again, Yuan Shudao explained his reason for coming.

"My lord, the princes of the Kanto region are almost here now, and there are nearly 20 troops in the Suanzao camp. The matter of seeking Dong should be put on the agenda. Otherwise, it will be a waste of money and food."

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Liu Bei also nodded and said, "That's right, what General Yuan said is very true, and I also think that we should raise troops to fight against the thieves. However, it's a pity that Yuan Benchu, the prefect of Bohai Sea, has not arrived yet, otherwise we don't need to waste time here." time."

Although Qiao Mao was arguing, Cao Cao was the first to raise troops, Liu Bei called everyone to come to the alliance, and Yuan Shu was the first to arrive...

However, in the hearts of most of the princes, Yuan Shao is the candidate for the leader of the alliance that everyone expects!
Of course, Yuan Shu expressed dissatisfaction with this.

You, Yuan Benchu, were born of a maidservant, a concubine, no different from a domestic slave!

Right now, I still have to surpass my son of the Yuan family, Yuan Gonglu, how can I bear it?
Therefore, he had long wanted to take advantage of Yuan Shao's absence to hold an alliance and make himself the leader of the alliance.

It's just that the princes weren't all there before, so he couldn't make it too obvious.

At present, all the princes have arrived, but Yuan Shao has not come, which happened to give Yuan Shu a chance.

It's not that I, Yuan Shu, don't respect my elder brother, but you, Yuan Benchu, have been procrastinating and haven't arrived so far, which shows that you are not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty at all.

Forget it, then we won't wait for you, we will form an alliance ourselves, and then join forces to fight Dong Zhuo.

Of course, apart from Yuan Shao's proposal, it cannot be proposed by Yuan Shu.

After all, I, Yuan Gonglu, am also a shameless person, so how could I leave my brother and do it alone!
This is also the purpose of his coming to find Liu Bei, that is, to hope that Liu Bei can take the lead in proposing to throw Yuan Shao aside, and everyone will form an alliance to fight Luo Yang.

At that time, the leader of the alliance will be chosen by him, Yuan Gonglu.
