The new year is approaching, the young master is born, and the governor's office can be described as a double happiness. Every household in Jinyang City is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it a festive scene. The lunar calendar has turned over one year and entered the fifth year of Jian'an. Just after the New Year, Wang Ling and Zhu Ao brought Jia Kui to Jinyang, but Jia Kui was kidnapped. "Hehe Lord Governor, Jia Liangdao was very stubborn and refused to come, so Brother Wang and I tied him up and took him to Jinyang by force!" The tall and tall Zhu Gongdao carried Jia Kui on his shoulders. He quickly entered the Governor's Mansion, and after entering the study room, he started shouting before he could put it down. Yuan Mai looked closely and saw that Jia Kui was about 24 or 25 years old. He was of medium build and thin, with a mustache on his upper lip. His skin color was a little yellowish, and his eyes were not big, but his gaze was very determined. "Ohhow can you treat Mr. Jia like this!" Yuan Mai hurriedly put down the pen and ink in his hand, stood up and personally untied Jia Kui, and bowed and saluted with an apologetic look: "It is really a mistake to cause brother Dao Liang to suffer. I¡¯m here to apologize to you!¡± Jia Kui is not a ignorant person. When he saw Yuan Mai being polite and courteous, he was very different from the arrogant and arrogant man he had imagined. His first impression of Yuan Mai was very different. good. Then he sighed and said: "Ah Jia Kui is a reckless person. How can He De dare to be so respected as a young master and send people to Jiangyi again and again to invite me? It's not that Jia Kui doesn't know how to promote, he is really afraid of being betrayed." The reputation of a thief, after all, is despised by people from Qin, Mu and Chu! " "I know very well that Jia Liangdao is a loyal person. Wang Ling and Zhu Gongdao said that you have the talent to govern the country. It is really a secret that you have been serving as a county captain. , I can¡¯t bear to see you bury your talent. Therefore, I asked Gongdao and Wang Yanyun to go to Hedong to invite you, not to put you in a disloyal position!" Yuan Mai looked like he was eager for talents, and personally moved the stool and motioned to Jia Kui to sit on the desk. Sitting next to him, he personally poured a cup of tea for him and handed it over, pleading: "Since Mr. Liang Dao has come to Bingzhou, please stay!" Jia Kui sighed: "Alas I can't go back even if I want to! "Why?" Wang Ling rushed in before Yuan Maimai said anything. He said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Governor. I have already spread the word in Jiangyi County that Jia Liangdao has abandoned Cao and defected to Yuan Dynasty. At this moment, the Jiangyi County magistrate is arresting him all over the city. Even if he wants to go back, he can't go back." "I can't go back!" "Ohwhat if Cao Jun is angry with Liang Dao's family?" Yuan Mai said worriedly. Wang Ling grabbed Jia Kui's tea bowl and took a sip. This shows that he and Jia Kui are indeed good friends. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Governor. I have already sent people to send Liang Dao's family back to Hanoi in advance. Anyway, the Jia family originally moved from Hanoi to Hedong. In this way, it can be regarded as returning to their ancestors." " "Oh Yan Yun, I was really killed by you this time. From now on, I, Jia Kui, will have to bear the reputation of a traitor!" Jia Kui shook his head, looking very sad. Zhu Gongdao, who was standing next to him, jumped in and said, "Why are you so stubborn, Liang Dao? Your county lieutenant was not appointed by Cao Cao. Before Cao Cao occupied Hedong, you were appointed as Jiangyi County Lieutenant. You were the first to do it. Your official position in Hedong, which Cao Cao later occupied, was not granted by Cao Cao. You must understand that you are an official of the Han Dynasty, not his Cao family. How can you say that you are a traitor? " After hearing what Zhu Gongdao said, Yuan Mai clapped his hands and praised him. Although he looked like a brave warrior, his thinking ability was much stronger than that of Zhou Cang. He analyzed things in an orderly manner: "That makes sense. My Yuan family and Cao Cao are both big men. A minister of the Han Dynasty, whether Jia Kui is an official in Bingzhou or in Hedong, you are always a minister of the Han Dynasty. How can you say that you are a traitor? " After being enlightened by Zhu Gongdao, Jia Kui felt relieved. After thinking about it carefully, he still thought This is true. I was already a county captain when Cao Cao controlled Hedong. I was not conferred by his Cao family. I have always been an official of the Han Dynasty. How can I be called a traitor? Seeing that Jia Kui's mood improved, Yuan Mai ordered his servants to prepare a banquet to entertain Jia Kui. Tian Feng, Wang Ling, and Sima Fu all attended the banquet. The guests and hosts had a great time and got drunk before resting! The fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed in a flash, and the footsteps of the Guandu War were about to come again. Yuan Mai decided to set off south. After the weather enters February, the temperature is about to get warmer; by then, Yuan and Cao will definitely fight to the death. Therefore, Yuan Mai must assemble the most elite forces to counter Cao Cao, support Yuan Shao in time when he is defeated, and make Cao Cao pay a heavy price, so that he can become the biggest winner outside of this competition. When Yuan Mai set out, he issued a transfer order, ordering Jia Kui to go to Pingyang as the county magistrate, assist Juhu in guarding Pingyang, and ordered Qu Yi to lead the army.The cavalry and the "first camp" went north to Pingtao to take over Zhang Liao's garrison to prevent the Huns from stabbing Cao Cao in the back while he was fighting Cao Cao. Qu Yi has been on the battlefield for a long time, and his "Xian Dengying" is brave and good at fighting. In addition, Qu Yi has fought with the Huns for many years and knows the Huns' tactics well. It is most suitable for him to succeed Zhang Liao. In Pingyang, with Jia Kui assisting Ju Hu, self-protection should not be a big problem. After Qu Yi arrived in Pingtao, where did Zhang Liao go? The answer is of course Hanoi! This Guandu battle is related to the life and death of the Yuan family, so Yuan Mai must send the strongest lineup to fight, so Zhang Liao was ordered to lead the "Tiger and Ben Cavalry" south to Hanoi. In this way, when Guandu competes, Yuan Mai can send the strongest combination of Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Guo Huai, Xu Sheng, and Wang Shuang to face Cao Jun, striving to maximize the chance of winning. After the arrangements were completed, Yuan Mai said goodbye to Tian Feng and Wang Ling, took Zhu Gongdao and Zhou Cang, surrounded by Lu Lingqi, her son and Zhao Zhi, and headed south. Tian Feng and Wang Ling arrived twenty miles south of Jinyang, and then waved goodbye, "Young Master, feel free to stay in Hanoi. With Wang Ling and me here in Jinyang, not even an inch of land will be lost!" Yuan Mai lifted up his cloak and said, He raised his hands on his horse and said, "In that case, thank you, Master Tian, ??for taking the trouble!" In the wind and snow, a group of more than 500 people hurriedly rode south along the post road. After walking for four days, they entered Hanoi. After Yuan Mai returned to Hanoi, he ordered Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Guo Huai and others to intensify their training of troops and horses, prepare their armor, polish their weapons, and be prepared for a decisive battle with Cao Jun when the weather warms up. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In addition, Zhuge Jin and Liang Xi were asked to prepare 200,000 shi of grain from the granary. After the confrontation between the two sides, the burden of grain supply fell on them, and there must be no mistake. At the end of the first month, Zhang Liao and Qu Yi completed the handover of defense, and then led two thousand "tiger and horsemen" southward and entered Hanoi. Gao Shun personally came to greet them twenty miles north of the city. The sound of horse hooves shook the sky and the earth, sending up dust all over the sky. "Haha Wen Yuan is back? I haven't seen you for a year. How are you?" Seeing Zhang Liao's arrival, Gao Shun greeted him and gave him a warm hug. Zhang Liao also responded enthusiastically: "Haha I heard that I was going to fight to the death with Cao Cao. The flame of revenge in my heart burned brightly. Our brothers can finally fight side by side. This time, we must avenge Xuzhou's shame!" "The cold wind blew Gao Shun's beard, fluttering slightly, and he nodded and said: "What Wen Yuan said is absolutely true. I swear to avenge this shame!" At that time, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun rode and controlled the bridle, and returned south to Huai County, bringing their troops together. Stationed outside the city, the two went into the city to meet Yuan Mai. When the general returned, Yuan Mai hosted a banquet of the highest standard. All the civil and military generals in Hanoi, except Xu Sheng who was stationed on the bank of the Yellow River, were present. When arranging the seats, Yuan Mai took great pains. If the arrangement is not done well, it will make the civil and military officers under him unhappy, causing them to be hostile to each other, which is not good for military morale. Originally, the best way to attend was for the civilian officials to be on the left and the military generals to be on the right. However, since the number of civilian officials under Yuan Mai was small, it was impossible to place the military generals with brilliant records below the civilian officials, so the civil and military officials could only sit together. Jushou is an important minister in Hebei, with high seniority and important position. Naturally, he will sit in the first seat without any doubt. No one in the civil and military circles, including Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, dared to object. Zhang Liao came to surrender relatively early, and his achievements were brilliant. He first traded horses with the Xiongnu, and later made a surprise attack on Pingyang and expanded the territory, which was even more prominent. Later, he captured Yijing with Yuan Mai and destroyed Gongsun Zan. Finally, he took control of Taiyuan. In southern Xinjiang, the Huns cavalry was defeated, and the Xiongnu Chanyu Huchuquan was killed so that he did not dare to invade Taiyuan again! One after another, one after another, it was a great achievement, so Zhang Liao sat in second place and no one expressed any objection. After arranging Jushou and Zhang Liao, Yuan Mai was a bit embarrassed to take the third position. In terms of relationship and ability, Yuan Mai was more inclined to let Zhao Yun take the seat. But Gao Shun is a well-known general in the world. In terms of reputation alone, he is still above Zhang Liao and even more prominent than Zhao Yun. Letting Zhao Yun sit on it was worried that Gao Shun would be unhappy; letting Gao Shun sit on it was worried that Zhao Yun would be unhappy. In desperation, Yuan Mai had no choice but to toss a coin. While I was changing my clothes, I took a five-baht coin and quietly threw it up, letting it fall on the back of my hand. "The one on the front is Zhao Yun, the one on the back is Gao Shun!" I moved my hand and looked at it. On the side facing up, there was a five-baht coin. On the front, Yuan Mai could only shrug and mutter to himself: "Gao Shun, Gao Shun, I'm sorry, it's not me taking care of my uncle, it's your bad luck!" In this way, Zhao Yun was placed in third place position, high position??The fourth place, Xu Shu was fifth, Zhuge Jin was sixth, Tian Chou was seventh, Wang Shuang was eighth, Guo Huai was ninth, Liang Xi was tenth, Zhou Cang and Zhu Gongdao were tied, Tao Pai was the last. Bit. This can be regarded as the first formal banquet after the Chinese New Year, and there are many talented people in the ceremony. Everyone drank wine to the wind, recalled the past, looked forward to the future, and vowed to defeat Cao Cao and help Yuan Bingzhou become the king. After three rounds of drinking, what Yuan Mai was most worried about happened. I don¡¯t know who started the topic. Gao Shun satirized Zhao Yun while drunk and said: "Everyone here has made great contributions and is in a high position. They deserve it. But there are also some people who rely on their nepotism to get to the top without any awareness. It is really disappointing." You are so generous when you laugh!" Zhao Yun's expression suddenly changed. He was clearly mocking himself? (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
