Chapter 258 Zheng Ke’s determination
Fei Qian returned to the inn. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
?????????????????????????????????????
It’s really weird.
??It''s not about the food and drinks, but the relationship between the two people. Although they seemed to be in a happy mood, and they toasted each other and invited them to eat, Fei Qian always had a feeling that something was wrong.
??The Zheng family in Xingyang, although it is not as popular as the Yang family in Hongnong and the Yuan family in Runan, it is still a relatively famous local surname.
??The Zheng family also produced many great scholars and important officials in the court.
?Zheng Xing, a famous Confucian, was a great Confucian scholar who studied Zuo Zhuan. He and Jia Kui, another Confucian scholar at that time, were collectively known as Zheng Jia. Their academic school was called Zheng Jia''s school;
?Zheng Zhong, the son of Zheng Xing, served as the guardian of the Western Regions Zhonglang General, the Wuwei Prefect, and later as the Grand Secretary of Agriculture. He was famous for his integrity and unyielding.
??Nowadays, Zheng Tai, one of the Zheng family members, also serves as the censor.
So such a member of the Zheng family, who has a long history, background and culture, seems to behave...
Too low and too small.
Although Zheng Ke''s smile never stopped during the banquet, and he paid more attention to the entire banquet atmosphere. From time to time, he would tell some interesting stories to calm the mood, but it always gave Fei Qian the feeling that he was attending a banquet hosted by a leader in later generations. The smiles on the faces of the employees who accompanied him, no matter whether the leader was drunk or pretending to be drunk, whether he was really romantic or really nasty, they were all smiling and applauding.
In later generations, Fei Qian participated in too many large and small banquets. There were one-man opera singers, big opera singers, and those who performed part-time roles. There were really too many.
Yes, that’s right.
??Zheng Ke gave Fei Qian the feeling of singing on stage, singing a big opera, his face was covered with thick ink, and even his smile seemed to be drawn out.
?But why do we need to sing?
Even if he is not a disciple of the Zheng family in Xingyang, he is just an ordinary nobleman. If he meets a rough guy like Guo Pu, he will probably be left in the cold immediately after a few words. No matter how high Guo Pu''s official position is, if he is not happy, he is not happy at all. Even the two types of people can''t talk together, let alone always smile...
??It doesn''t make sense to say that Zheng Ke is a well-rounded, sociable, power-seeking person who wants to pull Guo Pu''s line to climb up.
After all, Guo Pu is just a small captain, and even his brother Guo Si is now just a lieutenant general. It would be better to go directly to Dong Zhuo or Li Ru to curry favor with Guo Pu and Guo Si. Besides, Zheng Tai from the Zheng family is currently hanging around under Dong Zhuo''s nose. He is considered a person who can pass a sentence or two to him. Is it necessary to pay attention to Guo Pu''s face and feelings?
Flatter yourself?
Fei Qian smiled, and it made even more sense. He, the assistant minister of Zuo Department, could not fight with the Eighth Guards of Hangu Pass, not to mention that his master, Cai Yong, had never been a clique. This was known to the whole world, and there was really no benefit in currying favor with him.
More importantly, if Zheng Ke was so good at dancing and courting, why did he stay at the Hangu Pass for four years?
Not to mention the once-a-year quiz, I even passed the three-year plan!
The question is what exactly is Zheng Ke trying to do?
Are you plotting against me?
I have no grudges with this Zheng Ke. This is the first time we have met, right? Are you plotting against Guo Pu?
There is a possibility, but Zheng Ke is now the commander of Hangu Pass, and the power of military mobilization is in the hands of Guo Pu. The Hangu Pass garrison has a total of two thousand, one thousand is the original army, and one thousand is what Dong Zhuo left later. Here, even if Zheng Ke wants to scheme, he has to ask Guo Pu''s one thousand Xiliang soldiers if they agree...
??It''s really a waste of brains, forget it, as long as it''s not about me and I''m too lazy to care about those things, I might as well start early tomorrow, pass Hangu Pass, go one step further, and then turn around and go back to Luoyang.
?After Hangu Pass is Xin''an, and then to the west is Mianchi. This road is all under Dong Zhuo''s control, and Dong Zhuo still has some troops stationed in Mianchi, so there should be no problem with safety.
××××××××××××××
In the inner city of Hangu Pass, Zheng Kai put a sullen face on the letter in his hand and lit it on the candle. He kept holding it until his hand was almost burned, then he threw the remaining paper into the brazier until he saw the letter was completely transformed. Because of the ashes, Fang withdrew his eyes and said nothing, but the muscles on his cheeks jumped twice.
After a long time, Zheng Kecai said to a postman who was standing with his hands lowered in the hall: "Go back to the post station. Don''t act rashly. Just keep an eye on it. If there is anything abnormal, come and report it as soon as possible."
“Wei!” The postman bowed before retreating.
Zheng Ke waited for the postman to leave, then angrily slapped the table, "What a fool! Bad guy, big trouble!"
?Originally, Guo Pu was in the pass and had to do something at a loss. However, the arrangement that he finally made was disrupted by Fei Qian.
The procedures for deploying troops in the Han Dynasty were more troublesome, but if the number of people was less than 50, there would be no need for tiger talismans. Therefore, Zheng Kuai found several reasons to gather about 100 people and worked very hard. Don''t let Guo Pu doubt.
The purpose of attacking transport vehicles was to temporarily block the transport troops coming from Luoyang. Because whether it is reported to Gucheng or Luoyang, anyone who knows about this will definitely send some soldiers to clean up the so-called "yellow scarf thieves" on the transportation route. They will not start again until the route is confirmed to be safe. transportation…
In this way, Zheng Ke will be left with plenty of time for his arrangements, and another advantage of attacking the convoy is that he can bring things into the customs in a fair and honest manner.
?But unexpectedly, Fei Qian disrupted the plan.
??Now we can only find other ways, and find ways to bring in the things hidden outside...
??The situation in Luoyang City is getting more and more tense day by day. If we can''t get started here smoothly, the big man will be destroyed by a vulgar warrior!
Zheng Kui clenched his hands tightly, and the muscles around his face jumped...
?This world belongs to scholars. When will it be the turn of a vulgar martial artist to point fingers?
How could the Han Dynasty be in danger because of tyranny after four hundred years of rule?
Move the capital? !
Absolutely ridiculous!
How many people will be displaced during this capital relocation? How many innocent people will die?
Just for the selfish desires of a warrior!
Absolutely not!
The letter made it very clear that as long as it is delayed for another month or so, the Kwantung Allied Forces will definitely be able to send troops to Luoyang City!
?At that time, every one of these Xiliang men will surely die!
Zheng Ke took a deep breath and slowly relaxed his hands that were a little pale due to too much force. The muscles on his face gradually relaxed, but the look in his eyes became more determined...
??I, Zheng Kede, have enjoyed the fortune of Han Dynasty for many years. Now, even if I am shattered to pieces, I still have to delay the move to the capital for at least a month!
