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

Chapter 248 Eating this bite requires vision and courage

Sun Ruben was accompanying Lu Xun in the tent.

The sudden appearance of Bu Zhi and Lu Meng not only surprised Lu Xun, Sun Ru also looked confused and frightened.

Especially when Bu Zhi mentioned the sentence "Lu Boyan went to war with his wife, which shocked the Marquis of Wu", Sun Ru felt even more nervous.

And because of the eight words "Those who follow the grandchildren will live, those who follow the scholars will die", the whole tent was silent for a while.

Bu Zhi smiled and called out "Bo Yan", glanced at Sun Ru again, and asked pretending to be surprised: "I was rude with Ziming just now, didn't I disturb you?"

Lu Xun quickly handed over his hand and said, "No need to disturb me. It's just that I'm far away."

Bu Zhao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Well, you and I are all acting on the orders of Marquis Wu, so I won't say much more about greetings."

While talking, Bu Zhi took out the edict from Wu Hou and said, "I am here to comfort General Lu on behalf of Wu Hou."

Lu Xun hurriedly pulled Sun Ru to kneel down, "I thank Marquis Wu for your concern."

Bu Zhao unfolded the edict, "I went to Ruxu alone to attack Hefei. Now the Wei army has retreated and Hefei has been decided. I don't know how the war is going. I made an appointment in January to attack Jiaozhi. Boyan agreed, and the words are still in my ears. I look forward to Jiaozhou." On the day of peace, Gu and Qing drank together before the winter solstice. People say that the autumn wind blows and the weather is cooler, but Gu thought that the winter wind was even colder, so I took advantage of the aftertaste of the Double Ninth Festival to give you "Cornus wine" and "Non-turtle hands". Medicine', I hope you will take good care of yourself."

A waiter behind him came forward with a tray. Lu Xun choked and took it. He bowed his head and said: "In the Battle of Hefei, Cao Wei was defeated. God bless Soochow. He allowed the last general to go out without success, and made the Marquis of Wu personally risk his own life. The last general will be guilty." You deserve to die!"

Bu Zhao helped Lu Xun up and said with a smile: "During the Double Ninth Festival, Wu Houshang and Lu Boyan spent a wonderful time together. At this winter solstice, Wu Hou is still looking forward to drinking wine with you, Boyan, but... Boyan is stationed here for several days. , not making any progress, it doesn’t look like we want to conquer Jiaozhi before the winter solstice!”

Lu Xun lowered his head and asked, "What if the general cannot attack Jiaozhi as scheduled?"

"How?" Bu Zhi suddenly laughed, "Hahaha... Boyan is really good at joking. The Marquis of Wu specially sent General Lu Meng to take charge of Jiaozhou to recruit money and food for you in Nanhai and Cangwu counties. The Lu family army was the strongest among the soldiers of Soochow. Brave man, there has been no battle in Jiaozhou for decades. The entire army is vulnerable from top to bottom and cannot attack Jiaozhi as scheduled? Haha, unless Boyan doesn't want to, otherwise? How is it possible?"

Speaking of this, Bu Zhao glanced at Lu Meng.

Lu Meng was also frightened, and he quickly added: "Yes, if Boyan can't attack Jiaozhi, doesn't it mean that you, the vanguard general, and I, the quartermaster, are incompetent... What's more, when Cao Cao returns, he will definitely fight with Soochow in Huainan. There is a big war, and Wu Hou has to bear the pressure of the war between the north and the south at the same time, Boyan also has to be considerate of Wu Hou!"

Lu Xun smiled bitterly and said: "The Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers. It is the sin of the ministers!"

Bu Zhi joked: "Bo Yan, please don't blame yourself. Apart from you, Boyan, who else can win the land of Jiaozhou for Wu Hou?"

As soon as this question was raised, Bu Zhi added another sentence, as if he was asking and answering himself:

"You can't let me stand still, right? If it were me, wouldn't this be a rush? Hahaha, there are many places in Soochow where we can rely on Boyan!"

Bu Zhao's tone was joking, but the words in it were tantamount to touching Lu Xun deeply, which made Lu Xun feel even heavier.

Seeing the cold atmosphere, Sun Ru said quickly.

"The two generals' camps have been arranged. You might as well go and take a rest first."

"That's fine!" Bu Zhao looked at Lu Meng.

So Lu Xun accompanied Bu Zhi and Lu Meng to their camp.

The two walked through the camp and saw the sergeants standing tall and standing with swords and halberds. They couldn't help but ask Lu Meng: "How does this Lu family army compare with Ziming's army?"

"Half of the Lu family's army is the troops carefully selected and trained by the Lu family from generation to generation..." Lu Meng said: "The other half is from Shanyue. They are tiger and wolf divisions who are good at mountain warfare and water warfare. With such a neat army, what about my troops?" Can it rival the Lu Family Army?"

Bu Zhi lowered his voice and said with emotion: "Such an army of tigers and wolves is just setting up camp and not attacking...Does Ziming think it's a pity?"

"What a pity!" Lu Meng also expressed deep emotion.

As he spoke, Bu Zhi turned to look at Lu Xun and asked doubtfully, "Bo Yan, I really can't see through you. What are you worried about? Are you worried about Lu Ji and Lu Gongji?"

At the end of the sentence, Bu Zhi suddenly lowered his voice and said in a very light and thin voice: "Aren't you the one who most wants Lu Ji to be sacrificed?

These words blurted out... Lu Xun was startled. He paused in his steps and looked at Bu Zhi at a loss.

But Bu Zhao sighed "Alas" and said: "The Marquis of Wu was impatient with Jiaozhou, so he asked me to supervise the army and asked Governor Lu Meng to be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass. Every day that passed, Marquis Wu's patience weakened. one cent."

"If I were you, Lu Boyan, I would definitely get rid of all this mess right now and defeat Jiaozhou first. Otherwise, if you really wait until a month later...if you still haven't made any progress, then you will definitely regret and suffer more than you do today!"

Bu Zhi is a relative, but in a strict sense, he is also a member of the Huaisi refugee faction.

This faction has always maintained a good relationship with the local clan...

Based on this, he didn't want anything to happen to Lu Xun.

After all, Lu Xun is the leader among the younger generation.

Hearing this, Lu Xun calmly but firmly replied: "Thank you General Bu for the reminder, but as the commander-in-chief of the Lu Family Army, I cannot direct an uncertain war and use the blood of tens of millions of soldiers to stain us before ensuring that everything is absolutely guaranteed." An official robe for one person!”

Saying so...

But Lu Xun felt something else in his heart.

——"Bu Zhao, Bu Zhao?" You come from Huaisi, how do you know... In the big family of Soochow, if a clan member kills the clan leader, what kind of ruin will be caused? What an alienation it will cause! It’s not that I don’t want to fight, it’s that I can’t afford to fight! 』

"Okay..." Bu Zhi said with emotion: "I admire General Lu's mind, so I don't need to say more."

"You are not joking. Since I responded to Wu Hou's military order, I will go all out. However, it is still too early to attack Jiaozhi in January, and it is even earlier to break the city before the winter solstice. I would like to trouble General Bu to send a message to Wu Hou. If If we cannot break the city within the time limit, I, Lu Xun, am willing to accept the punishment."

Bu Zhi smiled and sighed, "You are the 'god king' of Soochow, and you are also Soochow's hope for the future. If it is true as you said, I am really sorry that Soochow has lost another young talent."

Lu Xun smiled lightly and said, "If that's true, it's God's will. Life is like a chess game, and you have no regrets about your moves... The two generals' camps have arrived, please—"

For a while, Lu Xun was walking on thin ice, and his mind was ups and downs.

Only these last words were spoken calmly by Lu Xun.

But when Sun Ru heard it, her heart was throbbing...

She can even feel how dangerous her husband's current situation is?

Cao Wei, Fancheng.

In the cell, torches swayed and groans came and went.

Li Miao took office and became the "admonishing doctor", and he also "got his wish" to become Cao Pi's staff.

And his first errand was ordered by Cao Cao himself to try Yang Xiu.

At this moment, early in the morning, Li Miao was taken into the prison. It was obvious that this was a place where serious prisoners were held. There was nothing but a brazier in the room, and two guards holding halberds stood outside.

Yang Xiu had already been warming himself leisurely in the fire, and suddenly he raised his head and saw Li Miao. He pursed his lips and smiled, still admiring himself, "Oh, I didn't expect to meet you here. It seems... the prime minister has reused a madman like you, but he doesn't Do you know whether the prime minister attaches great importance to Zihuan's "Nine-Rank Officials' Law"?"

What Yang Xiu said was ironic...

Because there were guards holding halberds nearby, he could not let Li Miao's hard-earned identity be exposed.

Let alone let Yang Xiu, Cao Zijian and Li Miao fail in their plans.

Despite being proud, Yang Xiu is still smart and wise enough.

"I have been ordered by the Prime Minister to judge this Yang Xiu. You all should retreat first!" Li Miao ordered loudly.

"But..." The two halberd-wielding guards seemed worried.

Li Miao showed his fist, "Young Yang Xiu? You are not my opponent yet, just stand down later!"

"Here!"

In this way...the two guards just resigned.

Li Miao slowly walked over and put his hands on the fire to heat them. He said nothing, but his mind seemed to fly back to the Jiangling City.

That was his discussion with Guan Lin on how to become Cao Zhi's confidant.

Li Miaoyou remembered that he was the first to ask: "What do you want? If you want to become Cao Zhi's confidant? Do you have to find a way to get rid of Yang Xiu?"

"It doesn't necessarily mean getting rid of him." Guan Lin sighed with emotion: "But Yang Xiu must be eliminated...Cao Zhi is filial and kind, and he is easy to control. But Yang Xiu is too smart and too loyal to Cao Zhi. He is always a threat. "

When he said this, Guan Lin paused, "At least, after letting Yang Xiu out, your situation will be safer and it will be easier to guide Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi is a good poet, but he may not be a good monarch. He is not like Cao Pi is surrounded by Sima Yi, Wu Zhi, Liu Zhen, Chen Qun and other wise men. Cao Zhi is lonely, and literati are lonely... This is the second thing you need to do after entering Cao Wei to relieve Cao Cao's trust crisis. thing!"

call…

With a long sigh, Li Miao quickly suppressed the memories of the past...

He sighed inwardly.

——"Master Yunqi, as you thought, we have now reached the second step... Yang Xiu is out. 』

Seemingly noticing Li Miao's deep thought, Yang Xiu asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about? You don't feel sorry for me, do you? Do mad men feel sorry for others?"

"Haha..." Li Miao smiled slightly, and he didn't know whether it was because of the atmosphere, or because he was laughing because Yang Xiu Shen was in the game and didn't realize it...

"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain..."

Feelings in my heart...

Then, he lowered his voice and said: "As we expected, after the Prime Minister promulgated the two decrees of the "Nine-grade Officials Law" and "Recruiting Widows to Reward Military Households," the clans and clans each had their own opinions... The scene was so heated that even the Prime Minister was unable to make an immediate decision."

"Everything is as you expected." Yang Xiu looked at Li Miao with admiration, "In the past, Master Zihuan won the support of those aristocratic families because of his support for the Han Dynasty. Now because of this letter "Nine-Rank Officials" "Fa", presumably the clan's support for him will be even stronger...it seems like blood-earning!"

"But...hehe, Mr. Zijian is not at any loss. The only supporters of Mr. Zijian are those students and scholars. A letter of "Law of the Ninth Grade Officials" and a letter of "Recruiting Widows and Rewarding Military Households" are enough. Let the entire clan support him. Haha, it’s thanks to our Prime Minister Cao, otherwise... kings of all dynasties regarded party strife as a scourge. Only Prime Minister Cao allowed them to fight. This is why the Wei Dynasty is so clearly divided. camp!"

Speaking of this, Yang Xiu suddenly raised his hand to Li Miao, "I, Yang Xiu, originally thought very highly of myself and was never looked down upon by ordinary people, but my master's deployment was so miraculous that it dazzled everyone... I admire you." , I admire you!"

"call--"

Li Miao, on the other hand, exhaled deeply, "I just don't know whose idea the Prime Minister will adopt in the end? In the current situation, we have not won, and Mr. Zihuan has not lost either."

"He has lost." Yang Xiu said with emotion: "Because, who would have thought that you, Mr. Li Miaoli, are in Zihuan, but your heart is in Zijian! Haha, hahahaha... In such a situation, it is not in vain for me, Yang Xiu bears such a crime, hahaha..."

Yang Xiu smiled quite boldly, just like he was so proud and disappointed twenty years ago because his mind was thirty miles ahead of Cao Cao.

And this sense of sadness finally reappeared twenty years later.

Yang Xiu's thoughts were faster than Cao Cao's once again!

This feeling transcended fame and status, making him fascinated and inexplicably moved.

"By the way, this -"

Li Miao took out a small box from his arms and opened it slowly. It was a box of crispy candies with the words "Yihe Crispy" written on the box.

This was written by Cao Cao himself, and Cao Zhi kept it all these years.

This time, Cao Zhi looked at the box and asked Li Miao to deliver it to Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu couldn't help but burst into tears while holding this box of crispy candies.

He recalled the turbulent past back then.

That was when Cao Cao got a box of crispy candies. He wrote the words "a box of crispy candies" vertically on the box outside the crispy candies, and then left.

Yang Xiu directly distributed the candy to the maids and eunuchs. Yang Xiu also took a piece himself and handed another piece to Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi was horrified: "Let's just eat like this. Isn't it disrespectful to our father?"

Yang Xiu pointed to the "box of cakes" on the box and said with a smile: "One bite of cake for each person. What the Prime Minister wrote in his own hand is an order. How can you disobey it?"

Cao Zhi was extremely timid and did not dare to eat.

Yang Xiu couldn't help but laugh. He asked Cao Zhi, "Do you know why the Prime Minister likes you?"

Cao Zhi's answer: "Father likes my poetry."

Yang Xiu shook his head, "What the Prime Minister likes is not only your poems. He sees the young master's free and easy demeanor and broad mind in these poems. Just like eating this bite of cake, it requires vision and courage. Such ability There will be no good-looking man with good facial features, but Mr. Zijian must have it!"

Yang Xiuyou remembers that Cao Zhi's answer at that time was, "Dezu asked me and my second brother to compete for the crown prince?"

"Young master, you might as well tell me the truth. What is your ambition? To be a poet?"

"Of course not." When Cao Zhi said these four words, all he thought about was his sister Zhen, but he couldn't say that. He was quick-thinking and hurriedly muttered: "My ambition is to learn from my father and kill. Strengthen the country, benefit the people below, build eternal achievements, and achieve great achievements in gold and stone!"

Yang Xiu seemed to see through what he was thinking. He told Cao Zhi, "No matter what the purpose is, it can't be achieved by just a Prime Minister's son."

When he said this, Cao Cao walked in, and everyone looked at each other in trepidation.

Cao Cao gave Yang Xiu a sharp look, then he smiled and broke the candy into two halves, stuffed half into his mouth, and gave the other half to Xu Chu beside him.

He laughed loudly and sighed: "Master Yang is right, each person has a bite of cake!"

On that day, Cao Cao summoned Yang Xiu to him alone and told him solemnly.

"Properly assist Gu's son——"

From that day on, Cao Zhi officially joined the fight for the crown prince.

now…

The past is like smoke, Cao Zhi has taken a big step forward in his fight for the throne, but Yang Xiu is out forever.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Li Miao started talking, "Over the years, Dezu has been the most transparent. Haha, the so-called rule handed down from our ancestors is that there are direct descendants and no direct descendants! This is the advantage of Master Zihuan, but it is also his Weaknesses, those who support the theory of orthodoxy are mostly pedantic veterans, mostly from centuries-old families, and these people happen to be loyal to the Han Dynasty!"

"Surrounded and constrained by them, Master Zihuan, even if he becomes the heir apparent, even if he becomes the Duke of Wei in the future? So what? Isn't he going to repeat the past of generations of Han Dynasty monarchs and ministers? Repeat the cycle of factional fighting?"

"In the past, Prime Minister Cao relied heavily on these aristocratic families, these pedantic veterans, in order to expand the territory and set sail for Wei Wu's hegemony. But when I saw Prime Minister Cao yesterday, I just understood his mind. He knows better than us. The foundation of the Han Dynasty and the system of the Han Dynasty have long been rotten, rotten to the bone, and what is needed in troubled times is a big break. To save the world, we must rebuild a new system and start a new era! And this This is the biggest advantage that Mr. Zijian has over his son, Mr. Huan!"

Faced with Li Miao's big words, Yang Xiu nodded solemnly, "Mr. Li, you and I are heroes and think alike. I, Yang Xiu, know that I am not a person who can dedicate myself to making wedding dresses for others, but ...Mr. Li, your appearance has allowed me to see the greatest hope for Mr. Zijian to become the heir apparent, and also allowed me to see the possibility of opening up a new era and a new system, so..."

Yang Xiu solemnly handed over his hand again, but this time he held tightly the candy box with the words "one bite per person" in his mouth.

Yang Xiu's words became more and more meticulous: "I can only accompany Mr. Zijian here. In this first half, I, Yang Dezu, am undefeated. In the second half of Mr. Zijian... it all depends on you, Mr. Li. I believe Li Sir, Mr. Zijian also believes in Mr. Li!"

Speaking of this, Yang Xiu's tone became more serious again.

"So, since the Prime Minister asked Mr. Li to try me, the crime is serious, and it is not a problem to quarter the body...Mr. Li just report it!"

"This..." Li Miao never thought that Yang Xiu could do this for Zijian...

In fact, Yang Xiu was not only doing it for Cao Zhi, he was doing it for his pride!

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I understand the Prime Minister better than you. He... won't kill me!"

Yang Xiu's eyes flickered, he looked around, and then lowered his voice, saying something that only the two of them could hear.

——"Perhaps, Prime Minister Cao is hearing clearly the conversation between you and me!"

Just as Yang Xiu said.

In the secret room next to this cell, Cao Cao stood there. He didn't walk out of the secret room until he heard the last words between Li Miao and Yang Xiu.

After walking out of the prison and entering a courtroom, Cheng Yu quickly raised his hands.

"This Li Miao is very scheming and has a lot of authority. He even dares to guess the Prime Minister's thoughts. Dare he ask the Prime Minister, do you want to deal with this Li Miao?"

Following Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao glared at him, "Have you said that you will deal with him?"

this…

Cheng Yu trembled and didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"Haha..." Cao Cao seemed to be quite excited and sighed repeatedly: "He is indeed Zijian's man!"

Immediately, Cao Cao ordered the school officials who had been waiting for him at the court.

"Let's do something——"

Therefore, these school officials will tell the story about Li Miao who scolded Liu Bei at the banquet, Jiang Ling was humiliated naked, openly biting the four sons of the Guan family, and scolded Guan Gong in the street...

One by one, Cao Cao heard them all.

He waved his hand to signal the school officials to leave, while he paced left and right in the courtroom.

Finally, after a long time, his footsteps stopped.

"A person like this scolded Liu Xuande, bit Guan Yunqi, and scolded Yun Chang. He also helped Zijian defend Shouchun, and presented two national policies to Gu's two sons. Haha... This person is also a wise man! He is a friend, not an enemy!"

Cao Cao sighed with emotion, as if he had doubts in his heart, and now he waved his hand.

——"Publish the orphan order and immediately recruit widows across the country. Whether they are 'dead wives' or 'living wives', as long as they cannot tell where the men are, they will be forcibly recruited and all relations with them will be cut off!"

——"Gu Yao will reward them to Gu's soldiers according to Zijian's suggestion! Gu Yao will use this to revive the morale of the three armies! Gu Yao will take back everything lost on the Xiangfan battlefield and the Huainan battlefield!"

The words were sonorous and powerful.

Really impressive!
