Here in Jiangdong, things suddenly became different as Sun Jian, the fierce tiger from Jiangdong, crossed the river.
It started to look turbulent.
Especially after Sun Jian captured Lujiang County, Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, Yan Baihu who occupied Wu County, and Zhou Xin of Danyang County became even more nervous.
They are actively preparing to meet Sun Jian, a guy who does not go out to fight others to the death, but returns to Jiangdong to compete with them here.
However, because Sun Jian treated Lu Kang well after conquering Lujiang County, and some members of the Lu family worked under Sun Jian, the Zhou family in Shucheng and other families also began to work under Sun Jian.
Sun Jian treated these aristocratic families very kindly, without any harsh words or intentional killing.
This kind of behavior was very different from what they had heard about Sun Jian's behavior before.
Under such circumstances, the wealthy families in Yangzhou did not really oppose Sun Jian firmly.
Some others began to support Sun Jian.
Of course, there is support from many people, but it is done quietly.
There are many families, scattered among various forces, making multiple bets...
Things were just as Zhou Yu, Cao Chun, Zhu Zhi and others said before. After Sun Jian released Lu Kang and treated the Lu family members well, he immediately sent out a different signal.
This caused many aristocratic families in Jiangdong to have a change in their perception of Sun Jian.
Without the desperate resistance and full opposition of these people, Sun Jian's attack on Jiangdong would seem much smoother...
Not to mention Jiangdong and how Sun Jian will conquer it next, let’s just talk about Qingzhou.
Things are not peaceful here in Qingzhou either.
In other words, under the general environment, there are basically no peaceful places.
Here in Qingzhou, although there has never been a strong person attacking here, there has been a resurgence of the Yellow Turbans.
The Yellow Turban Army here in Qingzhou has never been completely wiped out.
Kong Rong had been the governor of Beihai for a long time. As a result, not only did he fail to annihilate the Yellow Turban Army under his rule, but it also became stronger.
Just from this, we can see that this man who is famous for making pears is really not good at wrists and the like.
Governing the land and the people is not as simple as choosing the size of a pear.
Kong Rong was not very talented, but he especially liked to talk. He often entertained guests and had conversations with a large crowd of guests.
Talk about poetry and books, talk about governing the world, talk about etiquette, justice and integrity, talk about all kinds of morals.
Often staying up all night.
The leader cried bitterly in public because of the corruption of the current situation, and then scolded the traitors for ruining the country and ruining the world like this.
I often scolded him, starting from the ten constant attendants of Emperor Ling, all the way down, including the dead general He Jin, the living grand master Dong Zhuo, and Liu Cheng, Liu Biao, Liu Yao, and Liu who were members of the Han Dynasty.
Dai, Liu Yu... these were all scolded by him.
It is said that as clan members of the Han Dynasty, they did not contribute to the country, but instead acted like flies and dogs to corrupt the Han Dynasty...
Scolding brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who have been favored by Han in this life, yet behave like this...
He is an old talker.
When He Jin was the general, he often criticized He Jin.
He was originally a subordinate of Yang Ci, but He Jin was promoted to general.
Yang Ci asked him to come here with the greeting card to meet He Jin and congratulate him.
There were so many people who came to congratulate me.
As a result, after Kong Rong took the invitation from Menzi, he said that Menzi had neglected him, then took the invitation from Menzi and left directly.
The big day comes to slap you in the face.
He Jin and Yang Ci's place was made very unsightly.
But Kong Rong did not die because of this.
Because he knew that he had the reputation of being the twentieth generation grandson of Confucius.
With this identity alone, He Jin, who was born as a butcher, did not dare to do anything to him.
Instead, he would forgive himself, respectfully invite himself back, get promoted, etc.
He did this very skillfully.
It turned out to be true later, which made his reputation among scholars even better.
Later, he used various methods to spray He Jin...
Later, after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he continued to spray Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was so angry that he wanted to kill him, but was later persuaded to stop.
It was this time when he criticized Dong Zhuo, the result was somewhat beyond his expectation.
I thought I could do what I did before, the more I complained, the bigger my official position would be, and the louder my reputation would be.
In the end, Dong Zhuo got it directly to Beihai County, where the Yellow Turbans had not yet recovered.
Away from the court.
For Kong Rong, this was a huge hidden loss.
It is precisely because of this that Kong Rong now entertains guests and writes letters to his friends, criticizing Dong Zhuo very fiercely.
Even Liu Cheng, who followed Dong Zhuo, endured a lot more firepower than others...
However, it can be seen from this that after deposing hundreds of schools of thought and only respecting Confucianism, especially after the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, Gongyang thought, which occupied the leading position, suffered a huge blow, the reputation of Confucius's descendants has become more and more famous.
The more useful it is.
Although it is far from being as good as the descendants of later generations, at this time, the status is already relatively transcendent.
Otherwise, if the things Kong Rong did were placed on the heads of other people, they would have been hacked to death long ago.
But Kong Rong is now serving as a local governor here in Beihai County.
And was boasted by a group of people as Kong Beihai...
The people here in Beihai County and Qingzhou lived extremely hard, and Kong Rong could not see it.
Only at the beginning, after finding some shelter here in Beihai, I stopped making progress.
All kinds of distinguished guests began to fill the house and talk loudly.
By quarreling and bombarding various people, he has gained a great reputation among some specific people.
Such a reputation initially deceived Guan Hai, the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Canal, into a daze, fearing that he would be beaten miserably.
After all, he had suffered losses from the Han's regular troops before.
And this Kong Rong has such a great reputation.
So at first, when Kong Rong came to Beihai, Guan Hai took the initiative to avoid it and did not dare to have any big conflict.
But now, the world is in chaos and there is no order, so the big fist is the only way to go.
Moreover, after these long-term contacts, testing and observation, Guan Hai also clearly recognized that Kong Rong was a loser.
It has a great reputation, but when it comes to actually doing things, governing the place, or arranging troops and developing weapons, it is a special waste.
Writing some articles may be okay, but actually fighting a war or something like that is really not okay.
This requires real work, not just gathering a large number of friends, drinking and having fun, and talking loudly.
There is no one under his command who can be beaten.
So gradually Guan Hai became more and more courageous.
Now, I have begun to show my true feelings to Kong Rong.
Beihai County under the rule of Kong Rong could not even stand Guan Hai, a Yellow Turban thief and handsome man born in the Yellow Turbans. You can imagine how bad it was.
The actual situation was as Guan Hai expected. After he started to take serious action here, Kong Rong could be described as vulnerable. Basically, he encountered no effective resistance along the way.
He had met a few of the so-called celebrities under Kong Rong.
Some of them fled directly after their own soldiers and horses came over, running faster than the defeated soldiers under their command.
There were two brave men, but the soldiers they led and all kinds of things they did were poor.
After his soldiers and horses came over, he pointed at himself and cursed.
Guan Hai was angry and said he would kill them with a knife.
As a result, before Guan Hai even made a move, he was already screaming in grief, pulled out the sword from his waist, wiped his neck, and died neatly.
When he died, he said that he would be splashed with blood.
Guan Hai was a little stunned for a moment. Is this the so-called celebrity?
Is it true that a real celebrity is in a romantic mood?
Normally, all kinds of things are done poorly and things are done in a mess.
At the last moment, I will repay the king with death...
The key is that after such death, many people can often praise and admire it, and write various articles to praise and praise...
This situation left Guan Hai confused for a while.
"Pooh!"
He spat hard.
"What a bird celebrity is, it's just a bunch of bullshit that only knows how to drink and talk. It turns out that this celebrity is just like this kind of bird!"
He cursed loudly.
After he said these words, there was a burst of laughter.
"How can the great Han Dynasty not be defeated? How can it not be destroyed when there are so many people serving as officials?"
But these guys still feel how wronged they have been, how talented they are, and how unappreciated they are!
It’s really ridiculous!
Where are the capable people like them?
He has no fart skills, but he is quite powerful when he drinks and talks eloquently.
Do you think knowing a few words and writing some articles means you can do anything? It’s really ridiculous!”
Someone next to Guan Hai mocked like this.
"The twentieth generation grandson of Confucius, it turns out that this is what the descendants of Confucius' family are like!
I thought it was so awesome before..."
Someone sighed and said: "The descendants of Confucius are the descendants of Confucius, and Confucius is Confucius. They cannot be confused with each other. Confucius was a really capable person, but his descendants are getting worse and worse."
If Confucius were alive, he would be able to clean up the family with his sword and chop down these unscrupulous descendants without the need for others to do anything!"
After someone spoke, someone also sighed and said: "Such a famous person, such a respected person, but he has such descendants, I really don't know what to say..."
Amid their emotions, the soldiers and horses marched all the way and won continuously. Kong Rong seemed panicked, and also reduced his troops and hid in Duchang City.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, the Yellow Turbans were basically out of fashion. As a result, Kong Rong was beaten like this by the Yellow Turbans. One can imagine what a waste he was...
The atmosphere in Duchang City was tense, and Kong Rong was panicked. He was no longer as calm as before.
Here we began to think of various ways to defend the city.
He also sent someone with a letter asking for help to Yuan Shao to ask for help.
At this time, he no longer scolded Yuan Shao.
However, he was still drinking and swearing at this time, but most of the targets he cursed were Dong Zhuo.
Call Dong Zhuo shameless, throw him here in Beihai County, let him suffer the pain of the Yellow Turban, make him become so embarrassed, etc...
But if you just curse people, you won't feel the problem, and you can't get rid of the Yellow Turban...
However, he was confident that as long as he could hold on to the city and hold on for a little longer, someone from Yuan Shao would definitely come to rescue him.
Although he often scolds Yuan Shao on weekdays, no matter what, he is the twentieth generation grandson of Confucius, and with such a great reputation, he cannot face death without saving him.
After saving himself, Yuan Shao will gain great reputation and receive a lot of praise from scholars all over the world.
This kind of reputation cannot be bought with money.
If he doesn't come to save him, Yuan Shao's reputation will definitely become bad in the future!
In such a situation, Yuan Shao will definitely come to save him.
However, Kong Rong thought wrong.
At this time, Yuan Shao was busy fighting for Gongsun Zan.
Moreover, the battle did not go smoothly at the beginning, and he suffered a lot of losses in the confrontation with Gongsun Zan.
At this time, Yuan Shao was feeling impatient.
As a result, at this time, Kong Rong's letter asking for help arrived.
After picking it up and looking at it, Yuan Shao reached out and threw it on the ground.
"This is useless!"
Yuan Shao cursed loudly.
“This guy was very talkative before, looking down on this and that.
It seems that all the people in the world, except for Kong Rong, are all idlers and idiots, but Kong Rong is the only one who has the ability.
How dare you scold me!
As a result, now, he is just a remnant of the Yellow Turbans, and he was beaten into this state.
He ran to me and asked for help.
What a waste!"
"If it hadn't been for this guy, he would have been hacked to death long ago for being the 20th grandson of Confucius!"
Yuan Shao appears to be open-minded, but in fact he is not very generous. He keeps many things in his heart!
At this time, there were no outsiders here, so I scolded him directly.
After a while, someone asked what to do and whether they could help.
Naturally, Yuan Shao would not help. After all, at this time, he was already badly beaten by Gongsun Zan.
Why bother to care about Kong Rong or provoke the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou?
After thinking about it, I wrote back to Kong Rong.
The replies to letters were much more polite.
The general meaning is that he talked about the difficulties here, encouraged Kong Rong, and condemned the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.
He also told Kong Rong to find a way to persevere. He had defeated Gongsun Zan here, and as soon as he had his hands free, he would immediately send troops to Beihai County to rescue Kong Rong...
After Kong Rong's people took this letter back, Yuan Shao couldn't help but sneer when he was alone.
Originally, he was a little worried about the war with Gongsun Zan, but now, after being manipulated like this by Kong Rong, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed...
And Kong Rong, after getting Yuan Shao's reply, was so angry that he wanted to jump on his feet and send the most sincere greetings to Yuan Shao!
Yuan Shao, who was expected, unexpectedly made such an appearance!
After Kong Rong got angry, he felt a little confused for a while and didn't know what to do...
