The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 22 Entering Runan
Cai Yong sighed, "Hey, Wen Zhong, since you knew that He Jin would do this, why didn't you tell me earlier and let me report to the emperor in advance, wouldn't this prevent a disaster from happening?"

Li Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Master Cai, if you really want to report to the emperor, do you think he will believe what you said? Even if he does, what will He Jin think? He will definitely turn around and deal with you. Instead of doing this You might as well leave early."

Cai Yong thought about it, and felt that what Li Yuan said was also reasonable.

"The most important thing now is to gain the trust of Kong Ni. Only by gaining his trust and support can we have the opportunity to develop our own power. This will be troublesome to Mr. Cai." Li Yuan looked at Cai Yong.

"I know you kid has no good intentions, and you dragged me to Yuzhou just to let me help you deal with Kong Ni." Cai Yong said in a bad mood.

The four of them discussed for a while, then rested separately, and decided to visit Kong Ni tomorrow.

As the governor of Yuzhou, Kong Ni is usually very busy, and because he doesn't have many talented people under him, he does many things by himself, and the only person who can help him is Xu Jing.At this time, Kong Ni and Xu Jing were discussing matters.

"Wenxiu, is the information you recently found accurate?" Kong Ni was full of sadness. Recently, Xu Jing found out that there was a remnant Yellow Turban party in Runan, and it seemed that he wanted to draw Runan's attention.

Xu Jing replied: "My lord, I have sent people to confirm again and again that there are indeed remnants of the Yellow Turbans operating near Runan. Although they don't know their purpose yet, it is very likely that they will attack Runan."

Kong Ni sighed and said: "Oh, it's a pity that I don't have a general in hand, otherwise I would definitely send a large army to wipe out the Yellow Turban Bandits, and they would not be allowed to loot everywhere."

Kong Ni and Xu Jing are both civil servants, and they can handle political affairs, but it is really difficult for them to lead the army to charge into battle.

"By the way, during this period of time, you are asked to go out to search for talents. Is there any suitable candidate who can take on the important task?" Kong Ni asked earnestly.

Xu Jing is famous for criticizing people, that is to say, he is very accurate in judging people, so not long ago Kong Ni sent him out to find talented people, hoping to share the pressure for himself.

"Kong Cishi, it's hard to find talents. I did find a few great talents with extraordinary wisdom in Yingchuan, but I couldn't persuade them to work after all my words. I'm really ashamed." Xu Jing met him in Yingchuan not long ago. Guo Jia and others, but they couldn't convince Guo Jia and others even after exhausting their tongues.

In fact, with Guo Jia and others' intelligence and haughty character, those who can make them obey are all talented and general masters. Of course, they will not work for mediocre people like Kong Ni, and they won't even think about it.

When the two were thinking hard, a servant came to report that Luoyang Cai Yong and the partial general Li Yuan had come to visit.

"Cai Yong and Li Yuan in Luoyang? Why did they come?" Kong Ni felt a little strange, he was not familiar with Cai Yong and Li Yuan.

Xu Jing also found it strange, but he was still very happy to hear that Cai Yong came, and said: "My lord, Cai Zhonglang is a great sage in the world, and even a veteran minister in the court. Although we don't know what their intentions are, we must not neglect them."

Kong Ni nodded and replied: "Well, Wen Xiu, what you said is true, but I don't know who this Li Yuan is."

"My lord, you are not very well informed. Li Yuan is a newly promoted partial general, and he was appointed by the emperor himself. I heard about the Xingyang riots. He managed to suppress the riots in just a few days. To be personally defeated by him can be said to be a general who has won the three armies." Xu Jing explained.

After that, Kong Ni and Xu Jing went to the living room to meet Li Yuan and Cai Yong.

"I have admired Cai Zhonglang's name for a long time. Your arrival really made my mansion flourish. Please forgive me if the hospitality is not good enough." Kong Ni came in and saluted.

"Hahahaha, Inspector Kong is being polite, but this title is a bit inappropriate. I have resigned my official position, old man, and now I'm just a wild crane. I don't dare to be called Zhonglang." Cai Yong bowed his hands and saluted.

"What? You have already resigned?" Kong Ni was surprised, not only him, but also Xu Jing beside him. Cai Yong can be said to be a veteran of the court and loyal. They really couldn't figure out Cai Yong. Why did you resign.

"Don't mind the governor of Kong. I also have to resign and return to my hometown because I am old, weak and sick, and I can't stand the toss. Let someone more talented replace me. Although I am reluctant, I am helpless." Cai Yong sighed Tone, this acting is really amazing.

"By the way, Cai Zhong...Old man, who is this young man beside you? Could it be General Li Yuan, who has shocked Xingyang recently?" Kong Ni had already guessed three points correctly, but Li Yuan's appearance was too good to be true. Too young, completely different from what he imagined, he originally thought that Li Yuan was a veteran in the battlefield in his 40s and [-]s.

"Li Yuan, the underachiever, has met Governor Kong." Li Yuan cupped his hands and bowed when he saw what the other party said.

"General Li, you're welcome. He really is a young hero. If you become a general at such a young age, your achievements will be limitless in the future." Kong Ni praised.

"Kong Inspector Liao praised it." Li Yuan felt that Kong Ni was easy to talk to and didn't have much airs.

After a while, the servants set up a table of banquets, and everyone sat down among the guests and hosts.

"Inspector Kong, this cup is for you." Cai Yong toasted Kong Ni and drank it down, and Kong Ni returned Cai Yong's cup.

After drinking for three rounds, Kong Ni asked, "By the way, Mr. Cai, what is the purpose of coming here this time?"

"Kong Inspector, I have heard for a long time that you are able to recognize and employ people, but you lack capable officers under your command, so I came here to recommend Wen Zhong to help you." Cai Yong immediately cut to the chase and recommended Li Yuan to Kong Ni.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Cai, you are really my timely help. I really need someone like General Li to help me now." Hearing that Cai Yong was going to recommend Li Yuan to him, Kong Ni couldn't help laughing.

"Could it be that Governor Kong has encountered difficulties recently?" Li Yuan asked.

"It's true that we have encountered some difficulties recently. There are a lot of Yellow Turban remnants in the Runan area. I don't know what their goals are, but it seems that there are a lot of people. Although we have soldiers, we don't have any suitable futures. Commander, if General Li can help us, I, Kong Ni, will be very grateful." Kong Ni clasped his fists at Li Yuan.

"Kong Inspector is being polite. It is my duty to eliminate the Yellow Turban bandits. If they dare to invade, I will let them come and go." Li Yuan assured Kong Ni.

"I'm at ease with General Li's words," Kong Ni raised his glass and said, "General Li, this glass of wine is my respect to you!"

Li Yuan also raised his glass and drank it down.During the banquet, the guests and hosts had a great time, Kong Ni arranged a mansion for Li Yuan, Kong Ni was very thoughtful, not only ordered the mansion, but also sent someone to let them use it, which made Li Yuan and Cai Yong very grateful.

Li Yuan and Cai Yong moved into the mansion that night, Cai Yan, Diao Xiuer, Xu Zhu and Wang Wu also lived in the mansion, and the next day Kong Ni handed over part of the soldiers and horses to Li Yuan to take charge of. In Cai Yong's face, if it weren't for Cai Yong's identity, Kong Ni would not be so generous.

There are six counties and 58 counties in Yuzhou. As the governor of Yuzhou, Kong Ni needs to manage Qiao County in person. Because of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party in Runan County recently, he personally sits in Runan. Now he can rest assured with Li Yuan's help. Hand over Runan to Li Yuan and Cai Yong.

After staying for a few days, Kong Ni returned to Qiao County with Xu Jing. In fact, Li Yuan is now equivalent to the prefect of Runan, but there is no formal edict.

Li Yuan appointed Xu Zhu as the captain of the rebellion, responsible for commanding and training the soldiers and horses in Runan. Zhicai is an admonishing doctor and assists Chen Qun in handling political affairs, but this is secondary, the most important thing is to advise Li Yuan.

Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, there has been famine everywhere. In order to solve this problem, Chen Qun began to recruit refugees to reclaim the wilderness, build water conservancy facilities, and vigorously develop farming, hoping to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people within two years.

Xu Zhu trained soldiers according to Li Yuan's suggestion. In fact, Runan's soldiers and horses are not too small. There are more than 5000 soldiers, but there are many problems. Many soldiers are older or younger, and they are in their 50s. , Down to the age of ten, it can be said that good and bad are mixed. Although Li Yuan is also 17 years old, he has been training since he was a child, which is different from ordinary people.
