Chapter 21 Chai Sang Taishou

"It's unreasonable!" In Jiangxia City, Jingzhou Mu Guanyu, who had just taken office, held an article in his hand, and his hands were full of blue veins. This is exactly what Wang Can wrote to Liu Bei, asking him to kill Zhao Feng to comfort Jing Xiang's hundreds of thousands of dead. Recently, this article has been widely circulated in the two prefectures of Jingyang, and many writers have echoed.

"These guys, follow Cai Maoyue to make trouble. It's already a kindness not to kill them. How dare they jump out and point fingers?" Guan Yu said angrily. Although this article is going to kill Zhao Feng, as the highest military officer in this war, this article undoubtedly slapped him in the face of Guan Yu.

"The prince is angry. This Wang Zhongxuan is a great Confucian in the world. He is famous all over the world and can't move easily." Zhuge Liang saw the murderous intention in Guan Yu's eyes and hurriedly said. Kong Ming, why did Wang Zhongxuan have to be against us? Guan Yu couldn't understand it.

"Although Liang doesn't know it, he can also guess a little. This Wang Zhongxuan and Cao Shen are incomparable, and many of his relatives and friends died in the previous war in Jingxiang. At present, the high power of the prince and the marquis could not be moved, so he retreated and then took General Zhao to take action. Zhuge Liang sighed. Now that he takes the lead, coupled with the role of the local complex, almost all the scholars in Jingzhou now regard Zhao Feng as the enemy. In addition, he is very famous, and even many scholars in Yangzhou follow the trend, that is, people in Xuzhou and Yuzhou don't buy him.

"That's all. Bo Tao is now in Shouchun. Let's take over this matter to the eldest brother!" Guan Yu is also quite helpless. Zhuge Liang heard the words silently. Just now, his family told him that his brother Zhuge Jun also wrote a joint letter with several famous scholars in Jingzhou, asking Liu Bei to severely punish Zhao Feng.

It's coming! This is the only feeling of Zhao Feng in Shouchun now. The voice of his crusade here is not so loud, but he can still know some information. At present, Zhao Feng finally feels the feeling of being beaten. Fortunately, someone was willing to speak for him. Just a few days ago, although he was busy, Zhang Zhao and Sun Qian still wrote an article to defend him. Although these two brothers are not as famous as Wang Can and other seven sons of Jian'an, they are also famous Confucians in the world. Among them, Sun Qian is still a disciple of Zheng Xuan, and his influence cannot be underestimated. At present, in response to the battle of flooded Jiangling a month ago, all kinds of literati fought happily.

After several days, Liu Bei announced that Zhao Feng, the former governor of Lujiang and general of Fenwei, was demoted to the governor of Chai Sang and also served as General Yingyang, and immediately went to Chaisang to take office. At the same time, Jingzhou Mu Guanyu and Jingzhou Dianong engaged in Zhuge Liang, as well as Yangwei General Liu Pan and others were also fined for half a year to set an example.

"B Tao, it's fierce outside now. You'd better go to Chaisang to avoid the limelight first." This is what Liu Bei said to Zhao Feng in person after the edict was issued. Looking at Lao Liu, who felt a little guilty in front of him, Zhao Feng said silently for a long time, "Thank you, Lord, but even if the Lord surrenders to my military post, I'm afraid that those people in Jing Xiang will not be at ease." Zhao Feng knew that Wang Can and Wang Zhongxuan were the head of the seven sons of Jian'an. Such people have always been extremely bold, but they have a great reputation, and those in power often have nothing to do with them. For example, Kong Rong, even under Cao's rule, has been arrogant for so many years. Now Wang Can's public opinion offensive, coupled with Jing Xiang's undetermined people's hearts, makes him and Liu Bei very passive.

"Batao worries too much. Even if they dare to rap, how can I let it go?" Liu Bei said with a trace of anger. Looking at Zhao Feng, Liu Bei sighed again: "I played Yang Zhou Mu for Bo Tao twice, but they were all rejected. Now Bo Tao's meritorious service is not rewarded, but he is going to be demoted. It's really difficult to feel at ease.

"Why does the lord have to hold it in his arms? The length of the ruler and the shortness of the inch. The peak knows that he may not be a shepherd in Yangzhou. At present, Yuan Cao is fighting in the Central Plains, but our army wants to rectify Jing Xiang, but it is difficult to fight again for a while. Feng, you'd better go to Chaisang to train. Zhao Feng turned to comfort Liu Bei, which was really awkward.

"Well, Chai Sang is in the west of the Xiangjiang River. Bo Tao can also help his second brother and Kong Ming in Jingzhou." Liu Bei thought for a time. After a pause, Liu Bei said again, "Bao has been fighting abroad all year round, and he rarely gathers with his family. This time he is the Taishou of Chai Sang. Let's take his family to take office together."

"Thank you, Lord!" Zhao Feng thanked. He also understood that Liu Bei wanted to compensate him more or less. In this way, I and Diao Chan have been separated all year round, and finally have a chance to get together again.

Chai Sang is adjacent to Poyang Lake, which was originally the place of Sun Ce's military training. The position of Chai Sang Taishou is also specially set up for military training. Compared with Lujiang Taishou, a feudal official who guards one side, it is naturally worse. In terms of official rank alone, the annual salary of Lujiang Taishou is 2,000 stones, but Chai Sang Taishou is only 1,000 stones, which is the same surname as Wancheng Taishou. After Liu Bei took over Jiangdong, he also saved trouble and set up this place as his training place.

The former Chai Sang Taishou is Chen Dai. Now Zhao Feng has taken over, and Chen Dai has returned to Shouchun. Zhao Feng doesn't have much to do, that is, to train new recruits. After saying goodbye to Liu Bei, Zhao Feng and Diao Chan simply cleaned up, first from Shouchun to their own home in Wancheng, and then from there to Chaisang.

"Husband, you were demoted this time. It doesn't matter, does it?" On the way from Shouchun to Wancheng, Diao Chan asked worriedly.

"It's no big deal!" Zhao Feng took her hand and comforted her. Because there were only two people and a few servants, Zhao Fengsuo and Diao Chan took a carriage to Wancheng first.

"Your husband, my family has a big career. Even if I don't become an official, are you afraid that I won't make money?" Seeing that Diao Chan was still a little worried, Zhao Feng comforted her with a smile. However, Zhao Feng also knows that Liu Bei now is no longer the old Liu who can be his brothers in Pingyuan County and even in Xuzhou. In the past, he would never pay attention to several articles by Wang Can and others, let alone demote himself for this. But now in his heart, comforting people's hearts is more important than brotherhood. What's more, I haven't bowed to him yet.

Shouchun is not far from Wancheng. Zhao Feng and Diao Chan came to their home. Zhen Jiang and Zhen Mi have been waiting for a long time. Brother-in-law, you are so miserable! The officials are getting bigger and bigger. Why are you getting smaller and smaller? Zhen Mi said with a sad face.

"Time is also life!" Zhao Feng replied like a stick. He was used to reaching out and patting Zhen Mi's head. Unexpectedly, little Lori had grown into a big girl now. It was really not easy to pat her, so she had to stop embarrassedly. In order to hide his embarrassment, Zhao Feng also coughed and said to Zhen Jiang, who smiled secretly, "Madam, let's pack up as soon as possible and go to Chaisang as soon as possible. We will celebrate the Spring Festival in Chaisang this year."

"It's good too!" Zhen Jiang stopped laughing and replied. A few days ago, Zhao Feng had sent someone to inform her that the house had almost been cleaned up. At most, she could clean up for another day or two before she could go to Chaisang. During this period, the current Lujiang Taishou Buzishan visited him once. This man just married his sister to Liu Bei, and he was promoted to Lujiang Taishou, which was also a proud spring breeze.

Bu Yi's sister, the step trainer of the Empress of Eastern Wu in history, is Sun Quan's favorite concubine. It is enough to make Sun Quan, a big pervert, love him the most. However, now Sun Quan lives far away in Jiaozhou, so he has to take advantage of Liu Bei. Of course, Zhao Feng also knows that this is also Liu Bei's heart to settle down in Jiangdong's old minister, a typical political marriage.

At present, the two groups under Liu Bei have gradually become clear, that is, the Xuzhou Group, which followed his earlier qualifications, and the Jiangdong Group, which later defected to him. Fortunately, these two groups of people are not too narrow-minded. Although the old ministers in Jiangdong are a little xenophobic, a large part of them, such as Zhang Zhao and Bu Yan, were born in the Jianghuai region and still have a certain sense of belonging to Xuzhou. Although the rest of the scholars of the former Jiangdong Wuhui Group, such as Gu Yong, are exclusive, under Liu Bei's grace and power, and Liu Bei has indeed given them a lot of benefits, so they are relatively stable now. Although the two factions occasionally have frictions, they are generally safe. At present, Jing Xiang belongs to Liu Bei, and I'm afraid the third faction will appear soon. As for Zhao Feng himself, it was a complete Xuzhou faction.

To be honest, Zhao Feng is not too worried about these factions. Didn't the great man say that there are no gangs and strange things. With Liu Bei's means of using people, these factions should not be too internal. Bu Yan is not a fool. He knows that although Zhao Feng has been demoted, this degree of demotion can only be said to symbolize that he has left the forefront of the storm, and he will rise again later. Now there is no harm in taking advantage of his bad luck.

There was more than one smart person who sent away the polite step. Zhou Shan, the head of Juchao County, Lu Xun, the head of Jurong County, and others also came to visit one after another, making Zhao Feng wear and take off his formal clothes, take them off and wear them, and actually meet guests for a day. In the end, Zhao Feng was also a little impatient. Suo took the two wives and Zhen Mi to take a boat to Chaisang overnight, leaving the housekeeper to take care of the housework.

"Well, I've wanted to come to the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, but now I finally have a wish." Although Zhen Mi is 18 years old, his surname is still very lively, and even sitting on the boat is not peaceful for a moment.

"The little girl is still like a child!" Zhao Feng didn't know whether he was talking to himself or with Zhen Jiang around him. Zhen Jiang glanced at Zhao Feng. Although Zhen Mi vowed not to marry for three years, as her sister, how could Zhen Jiang not know what was on her mind? Unfortunately, the person concerned is like in a dream, which is really annoying and funny.

Chai Sang was once the rule of Yuzhang, but later changed to Nanchang. Since the era of Sun Ce, it has been used as a training place. The first Chai Sang Taishou was Zhou Yu, the chief confidant under Sun Ce. With the passage of time, the heroic generation of Confucian general Zhou Gongjin has turned into dust.

"Chai Sang was slaughtered by Cai Mao during the war before, and his vitality has not yet recovered!" Zhao Feng looked at the not very busy street and sighed. It's November at this time, and it's only a month before the New Year. When Zhao Feng settles his new home in Chaisang, it's already the middle of the twelfth of the twelfth. During this period, except for training, there was not much for him to do. Most of the civil affairs in Chai Sang's city were handled by Zhao Feng and Chai Sangzhi, who came to take office with him. Lu Xun's brother Lu Yi took care of it, and only major events were decided by him.

Time flies, coming to the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month. Sir, these are some local products sent by Lord Liu from Xiangtan. The housekeeper reported to Zhao Feng and carried in two baskets at the same time.

"Oh?" Zhao Feng thought for a thought before he remembered who this Lord Liu was. It turned out to be Liu Biao, who was idle at home. Xiangtan and Chai Sang are only separated by a Ganjiang River, and Liu Jingsheng is too polite.

When I opened it, it was nothing more than some local specialties in southern Hunan, such as bacon. Zhao Feng was about to order the servant to clean up first, but he heard a bright voice from outside: "Zhao boy, I, Zhang, look at you!"
