Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

——"Cao Mengde, do you think you are the only one in the world who dares to humiliate you?"

When this sentence came out of Li Miao's mouth.

During the entire banquet, the atmosphere suddenly became cold, and the temperature seemed to have dropped to freezing point overnight.

Whether it was Cao Pi, Sima Yi, Cao Zhi, Yang Xiu... they all looked at them in astonishment.

Cao Cao's expression also became complicated. He seemed to be slightly angry, but more of it was anticipation of Li Miao's next words.

——‘Are we both madmen? How different are you from Mi Heng? 』

On the contrary, it was Li Miao.

Along with these words, his eyes became sharp.

However, this touch of sharpness has a bit of deep color.

And that profound letter brought his memories back to when he was in Jiangling City, when he and Guan Lin prepared day and night, and fought hard for this moment.

At that time, Guan Lin raised a question.

"Cao Cao is suspicious by nature. He is extremely cautious about the people around him, even the people around his son. Whether you 'join' Cao Pi or Cao Zhi in the future, Cao Cao will definitely test you." "

"How to test?" Li Miao asked quickly.

Guan Lin's answer was: "Eye...Cao Cao is a master of mental tricks. Even my uncle Liu Bei, a master of hidden tricks, almost had his thoughts revealed when he played face to face with Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao said, 'The only heroes in the world are the envoys and Cao Er.' This was the change in his eyes when he saw my uncle when he heard this. The change in his eyes was enough for Cao Cao to peek into my uncle's truest state of mind. , at that time, my uncle relied on the 'Voice of Wind and Thunder' to escape this disaster, but you may not be as lucky as him."

"What does Yun Qi mean?" Li Miao asked Guan Lin, "Facing Cao Cao, I have to be very alert at all times, because he will test me at any time, and launch a 'sudden attack' on any occasion and under any circumstances. , especially the eyes!"

"That's right, but if you don't pay full attention, it would be too deliberate." Guan Lin solemnly asked: "You must be prepared at any time, especially your eyes. When a person is relaxed, he is suddenly called, which is very dangerous. The original purpose may be revealed through the eyes, so be very careful about this..."

It was precisely because of Guan Lin's reminder.

Cao Cao's sudden noise.

This caused Sima Yi to look back, and Cao Cao lamented that Sima Yi's eyes were hidden in the "eagle watching the wolf" prying eyes, but he could not see anything in Li Miao's eyes.

This level has been passed.

While in Jiangling, Li Miao also followed this topic and raised a new question.

"Young master also said that Cao Cao doesn't like crazy people. If one day, Ni Heng and I are in the same situation, Cao Cao also wants me to change the drummer's clothes and beat the drum? This will humiliate me, or... kill my spirit. ?What should I do?”

It's a tough choice...

This is more like a gift proposition.

Even Guan Lin has thought about this issue for a long time.

Li Miao asked, "How about I also imitate Ni Heng and beat the drum naked, but it will only humiliate Cao Cao?"

"No!" Guan Lin said quickly: "You are not a widow. Cao Cao is not interested in whether you are naked or not! Mi Heng's arrogance is arrogance, the fearlessness of the ignorant, and the ignorance after being used by others, but You are different. If you want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, your madness must be one that Cao Cao can accept...a madness that makes Cao Cao awe, and one that Cao Cao can be sure of and use for his own good!"

"The reason why Cao Cao used the robe of 'Drummer' to humiliate Ni Heng was because Ni Heng insulted the entire Yingchuan gentry and the entire Yuzhou gentry. At that time, Cao Cao was upright and forging ahead, and the people he needed to rely on the most were the Yingchuan gentry. , the Yuzhou clan, so...he had to humiliate you Heng, for Xun Yu, for Zhao Rong, for Sima Lang, and for Chen Qun. It was a matter of attitude. "

"But times have changed. How much Cao Cao relied on the Yingchuan gentry and the Yuzhou clan in the past has backfired so much now. You have to follow Cao Cao's wishes... Of course, if you are not sure, you can refute my uncle Liu Bei in exchange. His favor. The most important point... is that you must show a position that Cao Cao can see through and let Cao Cao realize that you support Cao Zhi..."

"As I said before, Cao Cao has been killing too much in his life. He prefers to let a benevolent and loving lord preside over Cao Wei's overall situation and wash away the sins and stains of his life. But Cao Zhi's benevolence, filial piety and love have grown. The only thing you lack is a hint of cunning and intelligence. You must make Cao Cao realize that Cao Zhi uses you as his staff and his progress in cunning and intelligence... As long as you do this, you will always be invincible! You will be safe. !”

Guan Lin said a lot at that time.

And Li Miao imagined this day coming all the time.

Be fully prepared for this day.

Now, in this drum formation, he reached out and pointed at Cao Cao.

Although this scene may seem horrifying and incredible to others, to Li Miao... his eyes were extremely calm and calm.

This was something he repeated countless times over countless days and nights.

Everything is just for now!

"Hahahaha...hahahaha..." Li Miao's arrogant laughter resounded here, "I originally thought that you Cao Mengde was different from that Liu Xuande. That Liu Xuande was a hypocrite. He stole the land of Liu Zhang, who was also a member of the Han clan. He was hypocritical and hypocritical. To the extreme, one thing appears on the surface but another behind the scenes... Haha, today I see that you, Cao Mengde, and that Liu Xuande are the same as each other!"

"Hahaha, hahahaha... It's all in vain that Cao Cao issued the "Order to Seek Talent" and said, 'If only honest people can be appointed, how can Duke Huan of Qi dominate the world?'" What do you mean, is there anyone like Jiang in the world today? How can someone like that wear rough clothes and have real talents fishing on the banks of the Wei River? 'What do you mean, 'there are no thieves and wives who receive gold, but there are no ignorant people'?"

"Hahaha, now it seems that you, Cao Mengde, are really ridiculous, ridiculous...Are you seeking talents? How many of the talents around you come from the "Order of Seeking Talents"? How many of them are not recommended by each other from the big families?"

"Hahaha, you, Cao Mengde, keep talking about 'The Duke of Zhou spits out his blessings, and the world returns to his heart', but you want to slander even me, Li Miao, who lives in a foreign country and lives in exile here? Humiliation? Cao Mengde, are you still seeking talents? Or, How afraid are you of those big clans? Just tell me directly that your Wei Wu hegemony cannot be set sail without the help of the Yingchuan gentry and the Yuzhou clan? Why should you imitate Liu Xuande’s hypocrite and hypocrisy... What kind of "Order for Seeking Talents" was promulgated, hahaha...hahaha..."

Li Miao looked like he was going crazy. He recited loudly the "Order for Seeking Talent" that was plastered all over Fancheng:

"——If someone is unkind and unfilial but has the skills to govern the country and use military force, I order the governors to recommend them, and don't leave anything behind... Hahaha, hahaha... Or if you are unkind and unfilial, but you have the skills to govern the country and use military force, don't leave anything behind... Unbenevolent and unfilial? Haha? Haha... You can't even accept a madman, how can you talk about being unkind and unfilial? Since you Cao Mengde can't get around those big clans, you should honestly rely on Yingchuan and those big clans in Yuzhou... Without them, you Cao Mengde can't move even an inch!"

The words are sharp, well-founded, and... inspiring.

Following these words, Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu looked at each other, their eyes widening.

——"Is Li Miao crazy?" 』

Cao Pi and Sima Yi were also so shocked that they couldn't breathe.

They couldn't imagine that there was someone more arrogant than Mi Heng in the world. When they met Prime Minister Cao for the first time... would they dare to be so tit-for-tat?

Considering the rumors about the tense situation between the Guan family and his son in Jiangling City.

Could it be that - all the talents from Jiangling have this attitude of "not afraid of the sky and the earth"?

But Cao Cao, his tiger eyes widened...

Although Li Miao's words were full of the word "crazy", these words were concise and concise, which directly hit the soft spot in Cao Cao's heart.

Gentry?

What a nobleman!

——‘Leaving the Yingchuan and Yuzhou clans? Is it difficult for me, Cao Mengde, to move even an inch? 』

--"Who said that? Who said that! 』

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and the anger in his heart surged.

But unfortunately, this anger stopped abruptly when it reached a certain level...

Because, Li Miao's words first exposed Liu Bei's "hypocrisy", and then combined Cao Cao with the hypocritical Liu Bei, saying they were the same species.

This is such a strange brain circuit!

It makes people unable to get angry?

If you take it into consideration, Cao Cao found out that Li Miao openly denounced Liu Bei at Liu Bei's celebration banquet and was eventually deposed by Liu Bei.

From this perspective, it is understandable that he "hated Liu Bei so deeply".

The so-called enemy of my enemy is my friend!

That's why.

Even though Li Miao scolded him more violently, Cao Cao was not angry at all. Instead of being angry, he laughed "haha".

——"This Li Miao's vision is so vicious, he pointed out the shortcomings of Cao Wei, and the constraints of the Yingchuan clan and the Yuzhou clan!" Pointed out the dispute between clan and clan! 』

——"So...the man named Zihuan is actually Zijian!" He is a chess piece played by Zijianbu! Beat Zihuan's chess piece? 』

——"And his purpose of irritating Gu is to guide Gu to point the finger at those wealthy families. Haha... What a thoughtful thought!" Zijian has really grown a lot. This madman is more suitable for Zijian than Yang Dezu! 』

My heart is already in turmoil...

But Cao Cao was still smiling on the surface, and his smile was extremely sad, "Hahaha... What a Li Miao? You said so much? Are you still drumming up this "Yuyang Ginseng"?"

"What's wrong with the drum?" Li Miao met Cao Cao's gaze.

The guard on the side reminded: "Sir, you haven't changed into the drummer's clothes yet..."

"Hahaha..." Li Miao laughed, trying to take off his clothes like Mi Heng, and he also wanted to play the drum naked.

Just when Li Miao took off his shirt.

"No!"

But seeing Cao Pi walking up quickly, he took off his robe and put it on Li Miao, and then Cao Pi bowed his hands to Cao Cao.

"Father, Mr. Li is a famous scholar in Sichuan. The big-eared thief cannot be tolerated, but my father has a broad mind. If Mr. Li is allowed to imitate Mi Heng's actions, how will the world view my father? How will they view the Wei Dynasty? Father's recruitment order It really becomes an empty talk...if...if father insists on letting Mr. Li play "Yuyang Ginseng", then let the child get naked for Mr. Li!"

In fact, when Cao Pi went to the drum formation, Cao Zhi also wanted to step forward... but was stopped by Yang Xiu.

Cao Zhi saw many profound meanings in Yang Xiu's eyes.

yes…

This is no longer child's play, this is a battlefield.

The most important thing on the battlefield is to remain calm. If Cao Zhi steps forward, Mr. Li's position will be exposed.

It seems that Cao Cao also realized this.

He glanced at Cao Zhi out of the corner of his eye. He saw Cao Zhi wanting to step forward, and he also saw him finally closing his eyes and everything was the same as before... and he also saw the look Yang Xiu gave Cao Zhi.

He even did not forget to look at Sima Yi from the corner of his eye.

He saw some urgency in Sima Yi's eyes.

Cao Cao understands that this is the new way of thinking and hope that the "Nine-Rank Officials' Law" brings to these children of aristocratic families!

It seemed that Cao Pi was going to take advantage of Li Miao.

Just...hehe!

Cao Cao's laughter suddenly became full of meaning.

He thought to himself:

——"Zihuan, Sima Zhongda, haha...this time, your opponents are far stronger than you think!" It depends on when you will wake up? 』

——"On the other hand, Zijian, this game has allowed Gu to see his progress. Zijian has grown a lot in terms of both his mind and his tactics!" 』

Cao Cao lamented Cao Zhi's progress, but did not regret that Cao Pi fell into the trap...

The fight between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi for the crown prince was originally driven by Cao Cao.

He is happy to see... how well can the two sons fight on this most peak stage?

Cao Cao wants to choose the most "excellent" prince!

besides…

Is the power of the clan superior?

Or is it that the clan can be united like never before because of the "Nine-Rank Selection Method"...

Cao Cao is also looking forward to this game between the clan and the clan.

——"You guys just fight to show me, while I'm still alive!" 』

——"I want to see the winner between Zihuan and Zijian!" 』

——"We must also see whether the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind!" 』

It seems that because of the appearance of Li Miao;

Because of the emergence of the "Nine-Rank Selection Method".

Cao Cao realized that... one day in the future, there will definitely be a battle between the clan and the clan, and the two sides will definitely fight to the death.

This is an inevitable part of the historical process.

So...since this fight is going to come sooner or later.

Cao Cao simply added fuel to the flames and made the storm come earlier, while Cao Cao was still alive!

At least this time...

He, Cao Cao, was confident that he could stabilize the situation!

"It seems that the sonorous drum sound cannot be projected today." Cao Cao turned around and raised his hands, "The banquet has begun-"

And following Cao Cao's words.

Cao Zhi, Cao Pi, Yang Xiu, and Sima Yi all took a long breath.

I am both happy for myself and happy for Li Miao.

On the other hand, Li Miao was particularly arrogant. He sat swaggeringly in the banquet, drinking heavily and composing poems boldly.

——"I see how charming the green hills are. I expected the green hills to see me this way. If I don't hate the ancients, I won't see them. I hate the ancients, but if they don't see me, I'll be crazy... I'm crazy!"

It seems that Li Miaoyou is very proud of his behavior today.

While Cao Cao was drinking, he did not forget to look at the faces of the people at the banquet. He called Xu Chu to come to him.

"Prime Minister..."

Cao Cao said in a low voice, "Tell Zihuan that he has approved the appointment of Li Miao as a vassal, and made him an admonishing official and an adviser to Zihuan!"

"Promise!" Xu Chu promised and was about to tell Cao Pi.

"Wait!" Cao Cao thought of something again, and he did not forget to add: "You lead the Hu Ben army to capture Yang Dezu immediately... His case will be tried by Li Miao!"

Xu Chu was slightly startled, as if he understood quickly, and quickly went to make arrangements.

Not long after...

With a "bang", Yang Xiu, who was drinking, was pushed down on the table. Sergeant Huben's voice came out coldly: "Yang Dezu forged the prime minister's handwriting, secretly mobilized soldiers and horses in Runan, and was immediately sent to prison for interrogation of evidence." !”

at the same time.

Xu Chu walked to the middle of Cao Pi and Sima Yi's seats without missing a beat, and whispered to them.

"The Prime Minister approved the appointment of Li Miao as a vassal by General Wu Guanzhonglang, and appointed Li Miao as an admonishing official and an adviser to Prince Huan... In addition, the Prime Minister ordered Yang Xiu to privately transfer soldiers from Runan, and Li Miao was Come to trial!”

this…

As Xu Chu's words came out, and as Yang Xiu was dragged out of the banquet, Cao Pi and Sima Yi looked at each other...

His expression was complicated.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard Cao Cao's loud roar from his seat: "Everyone... have you eaten?"

All the officials shouted in unison: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for the banquet."

Cao Cao waved his hand rather boldly, "Since you have had enough wine and food, you might as well listen to Gu tell two more interesting stories. They are two pieces of advice given by Gu's two sons to Xiang Gu. You all have the right to have fun and chat at this banquet. Chat, just chat!”

As he spoke, Cao Cao clapped his hands.

Immediately, a group of servants presented two bamboo slips to each official.

Everyone saw it clearly, one of the letters was - "The Law of the Ninth Rank Officials"!

Many officials know that this is Cao Pi's new method of selecting officials presented to the prime minister.

The other one was seen by many people for the first time.

——"Conquering Widows and Rewarding Military Households"...

And as the "crash" gradually unfolded, Cao Cao's voice came out one after another, "Look, everyone, take a look. At today's banquet, everyone can talk freely about these two bamboo slips, which one is better and which one is worse?"

this…

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment, they understood each other tacitly.

Which of the two bamboo slips is better?

This was obviously because Cao Gong asked them to form a team and choose the two young masters, Zi Huan and Zijian, who was better.

At this moment, the most nervous person was Cao Zhi. Yang Xiu beside him had just been dragged away. For a moment, he was a little confused.

But inadvertently, he saw Li Miao who was drinking not far away and tried to gesture towards him.

Let him calm down…

Completely calm down.

And following Li Miao's gesture, inexplicably, Cao Zhi really calmed down a lot!

It's like...like after Yang Dezu, he found hope to continue fighting.

…

…

Jiaozhou, at the junction of Yulin and Cangwu County, is the Lu Jiajun military camp.

Bu Zhao came all the way through the starry night. When he arrived at Cangwu County, he saw Lu Meng, and then he and Lu Meng rushed to the Lu Family Army's stronghold together.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Lu Meng and Bu Zha walked down together.

Because Bu Zhi was an envoy sent by Sun Quan, Lu Meng seemed very respectful and wanted to introduce the situation here to Bu Zhi.

Bu Zhi said: "Since the fifteenth year of Jian'an, I have been named the governor of Jiaozhou by Wu Hou. Living in the mountains of Jiaozhou, I know the situation in Jiaozhou ten times better than Ziming!"

Speaking of this, Bu Zhao looked at the Lu family's army camp faintly, "Ziming, I dare to bet you that as long as Lu Boyan gives the order, even if we attack Yulin now, the city will be over before dark tomorrow." !”

this…

Lu Meng didn't know what to say for a while.

"Haha..." Bu Zhi laughed, with a hint of coldness in his laughter, "We can't capture Jiaozhou because the Lu family army is not brave enough, or because the enemies in Jiaozhou are too powerful. There is only one possibility..."

"What?" Lu Meng asked quickly.

"Some people are duplicitous, and some people don't want Jiaozhou to be captured."

Following Bu Zhao's words, Lu Meng's heart thumped.

He knew very well that in Jiangdong, Bu Zhao existed beyond the Huaisi sect and Jiangdong sect.

He is a relative... His clan sister Bu Lianshi is the most favored. Not only did she give birth to two daughters, "Big Tiger" and "Little Tiger", she is also the adoptive mother of Sun Deng, who is almost certain to be the heir apparent...

With this status, in Jiaozhou...Bu Zhao's words are almost equivalent to Sun Quan's words.

He said that if someone is two-faced, something will happen.

"Ahem..."

Lu Meng coughed lightly.

But Bu Zhi smiled, "Ziming, there's no need to be nervous, you're not the duplicitous person..."

With that said, Bu Zhao walked quickly towards the direction of the Chinese army.

When Bu Zhi entered the door, Lu Xun was writing. When he saw Bu Zhi walking with Lu Meng, he was immediately shocked. He quickly put down his pen and asked, "I never thought that two generals were coming... Why didn't you send someone to inform them in advance?"

"Who can teach you 'Lu Shenjun'?" Bu Zhi's words were somewhat meaningful.

Lu Xun's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself.

——‘I’m afraid that the person coming is not good! 』

But Bu Zha picked up the cloth on the table. He frowned while chanting the words written by Lu Xun.

"Full losses, modest gains -"

"Haha, Lu Boyan went out to fight and brought his wife with him, which already made Wu Hou's jaw drop. If Wu Hou knew again that the reason why Boyan did not send troops for a long time was actually to huddle in this camp to practice calligraphy, Wu Hou would not know How will you feel?"

Having said this, Bu Zhi looked at Lu Xun's handwriting again.

"——Full of losses, modesty of benefits, Boyan actually wrote six good words! But this is not what Marquis Wu is looking forward to, what Marquis Wu is looking forward to is 'those who follow the grandchildren will live, and those who follow the scholars will die!'"

That's what Bu Zhi said.

But to Lu Xun's ears, it sounded like he was telling him - those who are descended from Sun will live, those who are descended from Lu will die!

…

…
