Chapter 200: The Belt and Road Alliance
Man Chong, whose courtesy name is Boning, was from Changyi, Shanyang County, Yanzhou.
At the age of eighteen, he served as the Supervisor of Shanyang County and dealt with Li Shuo, a gentry in the county at that time, and ordered the gentry to dare not cause trouble to Shanyang County again. Later, when he was the Gaoping Order, the Supervisor of the County was corrupt and bribed, and carried out chaos in the affairs of officials. Man Chong arrested and tortured him, and ordered the Supervisor to be punished and died. Man Chong had no choice but to abandon his official position and returned.
Later, he joined Cao Cao to engage in the work.
In the first year of Jian'an, Man Chong became the prefect of Runan.
At that time, Yuan Shao dominated Hebei, while Runan was Yuan Shao's hometown. So Yuan's disciples and former officials were distributed in various counties and had troops to resist. Man Chong recruited 500 soldiers, conquered more than 20 forts, lured and killed more than ten people, pacified Runan, and captured more than 20,000 households, and made Runan Dading.
In the third year of Jian'an, Man Chong was Xu Ling.
At that time, Cao Hong's guest broke the law, Man Chong captured him, and even Cao Cao pleaded with mercy, and even killed all prisoners. Under Cao Cao's order, Man Chong took Yang Biao. At that time, many people said not to torture Yang Biao, but Man Chong disagreed and still tortured Yang Biao. But it was precisely because of this that Man Chong did not receive Yang Biao's confession in the end, and Cao Cao had to release Yang Biao.
This is a tough character, and even a cruel official.
But I have to admit that this cruel official is very capable. It is not only reflected in government affairs, but also has made great achievements in military affairs.
Under Cao Cao's account, Man Chong may not be considered a top strategist, but he is indeed a very competent executor.
Liu Chuang's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This Xu Capital City is really hidden and lying on the tiger.
Now Xu Ling, the Grand Marshal of Cao Wei in the future... Liu Chuang had to convince himself. Cao Cao's subordinates were indeed full of talents. Looking at his talent reserves, there was no need to worry about a gap in the 50 years. Such a grand occasion. No wonder he could unify the north and become a great reputation for a generation of treacherous heroes.
Although Man Chong looks kind, he is elegant and graceful when speaking.
But Liu Chuang knew that this Man Chong was a smiling tiger, so he took the initiative and was unscrupulous.
Although Liu Chuang is not very famous, so what? No matter how famous he is, can he be comparable to Yang Biao's three ministers and other four generations? Man Chong still dares to punish Yang Biao. If he is hard with him today, he may not be able to get a advantage, but he will offend this person, which is very unwise. Thinking of this, Liu Chuang stopped Ma Chao and handed the Jiazi sword in his hand back to Tai Shixiang with a simple smile on his face, but there is no fear at all.
"Boning, why do you always have bad things happen every time you see you?"
Are I very familiar with you?
When Man Chong heard Liu Chuang's almost joking name, he was stunned. His face showed a look of astonishment.
"The last time I passed by Runan, I was attacked by you; this time I killed a few kids in the market. I was so unlucky to be surrounded by you again."
Man Chong couldn't help laughing!
"The emperor said this ignorantly.
It is obvious that you are favored by the emperor's uncle, but there must be a murder case... In my opinion, it is not that the emperor's uncle is unlucky, but it is really that he is favored by the emperor's uncle."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing loudly.
However, Liu Chuang smiled, his face turned right, "I heard that Xu Du is in the heart of the Central Plains, and he has the aura of dragon growth.
Cao Gong assisted His Majesty and promoted the Han Dynasty to Xu. He thought that the government was clear and the people were rich, but he did not know that he encountered such a playboy? It is said that this guy was still the one whom Cao Gong valued, but he forced his daughters to rob the people in this public place and acted as domineering. He saw that the road was uneven, so he drew his sword to help. The county magistrates would not think that I took the initiative to provoke! You must know that if you break into Xu Du, you can always be at peace with yourself."
He nodded repeatedly toward his face with a smile.
He glanced at Wei Zhe who was unconscious from the corner of his eyes, and a look of disdain flashed.
Then he sighed and said, "This is a fault of favor, and the governance in the city will be strengthened in the future.
But no matter what, it is a fact that the emperor's uncle killed people, let alone killing people in the street, and even dozens of lives... So, please feel wronged and let me go with you. As for how to deal with it, the emperor's uncle is a royal family, and I can't judge it. It's up to Mr. Cao to decide, what?"
Liu Chuang smiled, "I won't make things difficult for Boning."
As he spoke, he pointed his hand behind Ma Chao, "The people here are all killed by me and have nothing to do with others."
Will Bobing sell me aside and let them leave? As for the Wei family, I am not afraid, let’s see how Cao Gong will make a decision.”
"Uncle Emperor!"
When Ma Chao heard this, he suddenly became anxious and took a step forward and wanted to speak.
But when Liu Chuang stopped him, he whispered: "Meng Qi, come to Xudu, don't get involved in this whirlpool.
Your father was dissatisfied with you, and if he angered him, it would be difficult to get along in the future. I was from Yingchuan and a royal family, and Cao Gong would not be able to make it difficult for me. But if you get involved, it will make things complicated... Please follow my arrangements for this matter and don’t be arrogant."
Ma Chao heard the kindness in Liu Chuang's words.
He was from Xiliang and was not tolerated by the scholars and officials of the Central Plains, and even despised him. His father Ma Teng did not like him very much. If he was involved, Ma Teng might not be able to speak for him. Liu Chuang was thinking about him, which also moved Ma Chao.
"Boning, what do you think?"
Liu Chuang's nature is different from Yang Biao.
Yang Biao was involved in the whirlpool of rebellion because Yuan Shu became emperor, so he was full of favor and had no worries.
But Liu Chuang is a relative of the Han Dynasty. More importantly, behind Liu Chuang, there is a huge Yingchuan clan. Man Chong certainly understands this principle. Although Yang Biao is famous all over the world and has three ministers for generations. But his foundation is in Guanzhong, not Xu Du. In addition, he has no power or power in his hands, Man Chong does not have much scruples. But if he really rebelled against Liu Chuang, Man Chong would also have to consider the ideas of the Yingchuan clan.
Anyway, he didn't like Wei Zhe very much...
Man Chong smiled and said, "Since the emperor's uncle spoke, how can you not follow me?"
Liu Chuang bowed and thanked him, and said softly: "Boning's affection today, Chuang remembers it in his heart."
After saying that, he turned around and said to Taishi Xiang: "Yuan Fu, tell Zisheng after he goes back that I will not come back from now on, and no one will step out of the mansion."
"Young Master..."
"Don't be too long-winded, just go back and explain."
Liu Chuang wanted to protect the Feixiong Cavalry from being investigated by Cao Cao.
"Boning. Let's go."
"Please, please."
Liu Chuang was not polite either. He walked out of the restaurant with his head held high.
Man Chong glanced at the corpses on the ground. Someone looked at Weizhe, "Your young master is not dead yet, hurry up and send him to the clinic, and you will have another incident.
Shi Ah, clean up the place later and send the body to the county government.
As long as you pay the loss... I asked the Wei family to compensate you. You did a good job today, and I think the second young master will be very happy."
Shi A is a ranger, a swordsman, and a shopkeeper of this restaurant.
At the same time, he also has another identity, that is, Cao Pi's swordsmanship teaching.
He was originally from Luoyang and had excellent swordsmanship. He was from Wang Yue, a master of swordsmanship in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Wang Yue once taught the swordsmanship of the Emperor of Ling. However, after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang during the rebellion of the Ten Constables, Wang Yue disappeared. After that, the one who dominated Luoyang with swordsmanship was Shi Ah. Zhu Dao (also known as Zhu Gongdao) was the leader. Cao Cao decided to be Xu, especially after experiencing the first defeat in Wancheng. He invited Shi Ah to teach Cao Pi's swordsmanship and strengthen his self-protection ability.
Man Chong is not unfamiliar with Shi A, so he speaks quite casually.
After instructing Shi Ah, he took the yamen runners away from the restaurant.
Watching Liu Chuang's back leave, a buzzing sound in the restaurant, and whispers sounded.
Tai Shixiang did not dare to neglect, so he quickly bowed and said goodbye to Ma Chao and the other two.
Shi Aze walked forward and whispered to Ma Chao: "Young Master, let's go through the back door.
Fortunately, it was Uncle Liu who was responsible for this matter today. Otherwise, with the character of a county magistrate, how could he let you go easily? After going back, don’t go out in the next few days. I guess there will be a riot in the future. But don’t worry, Uncle Liu will not be in serious trouble."
Ma Chao is not the kind of person who is ungrateful. After hearing Shi A say that, he bowed to thank him.
Before leaving, he glanced at Lai Ying'er, but saw Lai Ying'er's face turned red and her head hung down.
"I am Ma Chao, Xiliang. If a girl has trouble, she will come to the inn to find me, and I will definitely help."
He hurried out from the back door with Madai and Pang De, and whispered while walking.
"Yuan Tai, Ling Ming, how about Uncle Liu?"
Pang De thought for a while and said softly: "Uncle Liu is generous and righteous, but he is a kind person who is kind, responsible and knowledgeable."
Ma Chao said: "I think so too. It's just that the emperor is imprisoned this time, but I don't know what the result will be? I'm quite worried."
"Don't worry, young master, since the emperor said nothing is wrong, there will definitely be no problem.
But we should be more careful. After returning to the inn, don’t tell us what happened today, otherwise the lord will be angry. When we entered the capital, the lord once said not to cause trouble... and watch coldly, if Uncle Liu is really in trouble, then make a fuss."
Ma Chao thought about it and agreed.
"Since that's the case, be careful!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Just when Liu Chuang and Ma Chao were making a big fuss in the restaurant, far outside Xudu City, in the Fengshui Pavilion by the Fengshui River, a group of people were talking about Liu Chuang.
Since Dong Cheng received the imperial edict of Emperor Han, he kept looking for allies.
If you want to kill Cao, you must have enough military power.
Moreover, the number of people cannot be too large. You need to be extremely loyal to the Han Dynasty before you can contact us, otherwise the news may be leaked.
After some careful screening, Dong Cheng selected several people.
Changshui lieutenant Zhong Ji, general Wang Fu, general Zhaoxin Wu Zi, general Wu Shuo, general Andi Ma Teng, five people entered Dong Cheng's sight, and after contacting him secretly, the five people agreed to join forces to kill Cao. However, killing Cao Cao was not a simple matter, and it was not possible to be completed overnight. Cao Cao is now in great power, so he can only slowly plan. Dong Cheng called a few people to discuss the matter today.
But during the negotiations, I suddenly heard Changshui's captain Zhong Ji say, "Since we are supporting the Han Dynasty together, why don't we see people from the royal family?"
Dong Cheng was stunned and said softly: "The royal family is weak. Although Liu Jingsheng and Liu Jiyu were in charge of troops outside, they each had their own thoughts and had no intention of serving Your Majesty. Besides, this matter is extraordinary. If you are not loyal to Your Majesty, how dare you invite each other easily? I once thought that Liu Xuande was a talent, but when Xu Tian fought against the siege, he found that this person had ulterior motives and could not be trusted easily. Therefore, no one was sent to invite him."
Zhong Ji heard it, but his eyebrows frowned.
"What I mean by the royal family is not Liu Xuande.
I have never liked this person. He was a Han genius and was actually a Han traitor. He had previously spread rumors and slandered the son of Zhongling Hou, and then he relied on the Cao genius and met him. I saw this person, but I was not convinced. But what I said about is the royal family, Liu Chuang, why didn't he see him?" (To be continued...)
