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

Wudu County, Xiabian City, the lobby of the government office.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

From far away, you can hear Cao Hong laughing heartily. While laughing, he shouted: "Play music, play music..."

Today, Cao Hong specially invited a group of civil and military officials to enjoy singing and dancing.

An attendant placed more than twenty drums on the ground in the lobby of the government office. Immediately afterwards, soft and elegant music began to play slowly. There was a graceful woman, wearing a thin pure white shirt, blue silk and ink dye, and a colorful fan... Just like The fairy stepped on the drum like a spirit.

Most of these women are women of the Di tribe. The men of the Di tribe are good at fighting and the women are good at dancing. Now... wearing this green silk white shirt, their bodies are looming, and their moist... seems to have come from a dream, and water will come out when pinched.

"Okay, okay...ok..."

Cao Hong couldn't help but applaud.

Among the officials on the left and right bamboo mats were "Lei Ding", the leader of the Wudu Di tribe, and "Qiang Duan", the leader of the Yinping Di tribe. Qiang Duan watched with gusto, but although Lei Ding was also looking at the song and dance, he His eyes were wandering, as if he was deep in thought.

In addition to these indigenous leaders, there is also deputy general Zhao Ang, and Zhao Ang's wife Wang Yi is also there.

Speaking of which, there are two empty seats next to Cao Hong's seat, one of which is the seat specially reserved by Cao Hong for Cao Xiu, but Cao Xiu has not yet arrived here.

The other seat was reserved for Yang Fu, the prefect of Wudu, but... I wanted to, but Yang Fu didn't come to appreciate it.

At this time, the unique musical instruments of the Di people played increasingly exciting music.

The songs and dances of the Di women are even bigger. Sometimes they lightly relax their hands and hold the fans together, like a pen moving around a dragon painting a painting. The jade sleeves are filled with wind, turning, throwing, opening, closing, twisting, rounding, and bending. A series of movements reveal the body vaguely.

The flowing water and clouds are like dragons flying or phoenixes dancing.

...especially those pairs of eyes that fascinated Cao Honggou.

Along with this song and dance, the sound of the musical instruments changed again, becoming... cooler.

The singer's movements are even bigger...

Wang Yi bit her lip, she approached her husband Zhao Ang and muttered.

"Is this our general?"

"Alas..." Zhao Ang sighed and whispered: "The Prime Minister sent a letter saying that the clan's young general Cao Xiu led troops to help. The Prime Minister wanted to guard Bian City to listen to General Cao Xiu. General Cao Hong just wanted to show off. Just handsome!"

Zhao Ang's words made Wang Yi feel better...

She is a loyal woman. When Ma Chao took advantage of Cao Cao's march south, he rebelled. Most of the land in Longyou fell, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

Yang Fu, who was the governor of Liangzhou at the time, united his brothers to fight against Ma Chao, and also lobbied Zhao Ang, who was the Qiang Taoist at that time.

Zhao Ang had no idea for a while because his son was still in Ma Chao's hands. It was Wang Yi's words that woke Zhao Ang up. She said: "Loyalty and righteousness stand in one's body. It is a great disgrace to Mr. Xue and his father. Losing him is not a big deal." , What's wrong?"

It means - for the sake of justice, we don’t want this child!

It was precisely because of Wang Yi's words that Zhao Ang strengthened his determination to resist Ma Chao. Together with Yang Fu, they killed Ma Chao's wife and children and guarded the dangerous Qishan Mountains until Cao Cao's reinforcements arrived more than thirty days later.

He made great contributions to Cao Cao's defeat of Ma Chao.

During this period, Wang Yi came up with nine unique strategies for Zhao Ang, which was indispensable.

Therefore, Cao Cao made an exception and allowed Wang Yi to participate in the discussion about military aircraft, and even allowed Wang Yi to be a female military advisor in name only!

It can be said that Wang Yi lost his children for Cao Wei and had no hesitation. But now... because of Cao Hong's "life-loving", because she thought of the Central Plains... was also such a life-loving, she was shaken for a moment.

She suddenly discovered that the lives of the people in the Central Plains they were guarding regardless of life and death were so corrupt.

Of course, not all the generals in Cao Wei are like Cao Hong. Xiahou Dun is upright and upright, Cao Ren abides by the law, Xiahou Yuan values ​​righteousness over life, but Cao Hong is dissolute, lawless, greedy for money... and lustful!

Doing things by any means necessary!

But such a person is actually a general!

How did Wang Yi know that if Cao Hong hadn't saved Cao Cao several times, how could he have his current status?

It is even more impossible to reach such a height that does not belong to him.

He is more suitable to be a rich man than a general.

"Just wait... I heard that the new Major General Cao Xiu, whom Prime Minister Cao calls Qianliju, is a rare handsome man in the Cao Wei clan. Maybe everything will change after he comes."

Seemingly seeing that the lady's face was still unhappy, Zhao Ang continued to persuade her in a low voice.

"Alas..." Looking at the dancers and singers on the drum who were dressed like cicada wings... Wang Yi could only sigh quietly.

She thought to herself:

——"Is this the Cao Wei that my husband and I protect?" Because of it... is it worth losing your children? Is it worth it? 』

Heartfelt questions kept coming out, hitting Wang Yi's heart.

at this time…

The door opened with a "bang" sound, and a short but furious scholar wearing a green Confucian robe and a Confucian crown was striding towards...

"Get out, get out-"

Following the scholar's words, the dancers were startled, and some actually lost their footing and fell from the drums, falling heavily.

Cao Hong also squinted his eyes, but he could clearly see the person coming, "Hahahaha..." He laughed, "Who provoked brother Yishan (Yang Fu)?"

Today, Yang Fu serves as the governor of Yizhou and the governor of Wudu. With his status, even clan generals like Cao Hong are quite polite to him.

But I heard Yang Fu speak righteously towards Cao Hong: "Now Sanba has been lost, Zitong has fallen, and the rebel army can move north at any time... At this moment, General Cao is actually interested in doing such a thing? Besides, there are differences between men and women. , this is a major national festival, how can women be exposed in front of the public! Even the corruption of Xia Jie and Shang Zhou was not as good as this."

One sentence can be said to be "a slap in the face"...

After saying that, Yang Fuyou was confused and walked up to Cao Hong angrily, knocking all the wine bottles and jugs on his desk to the ground.

Cao Hong was shocked at first, but because of the opponent's identity and prestige in the opponent's army, Cao Hong could only laugh and say: "I am the general who is rude, come on, come on..."

Cao Hong took Yang Fu's hand and led him to sit on the bamboo mat, "Isn't it... the enemy hasn't attacked yet? Besides... isn't my clan member 'Qianliju' already on the road? I, Cao Hong, It's okay to hold down the formation for you, but if we really have to fight...I can still carry a few pounds and a few taels, but this battle...I still have to rely on you!"

Cao Hong was greedy for money and profit, but one thing was that he was quite self-aware. He could still carry a few kilograms of weight, and he would not compete with other generals for power.

Of course... if it's profitable, you have to fight for it.

And... face!

Cao Hongsu takes this thing very seriously... Those who are familiar with him will know that Cao Hong already holds a grudge against Yang Fu!

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Cao Hong was still laughing. His words and his submissiveness also made Yang Fu less angry. Cao Hong quickly asked the dancers to retreat, and ordered people to remove the big drums, and then said: "Okay, okay, no Show me the beauty, then let’s get down to business... Yishan, you are the prefect, how is the food and grass we collected here in Wudu County going?"

The mention of business made... everyone present look serious.

As for the food issue he mentioned, it was an order from Xiahou Yuan of Hanzhong. There were too many soldiers in Hanzhong, and there were also a large number of followers of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, so food was already stretched thin.

However, the transportation of grain in the Central Plains requires long distances... water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer.

Therefore, Xia Houyuan ordered Wudu County to raise 300,000 shi of food no matter what, otherwise... Hanzhong would be in chaos without a war!

Of course, Cao Hong's temperament would not suffer. What he asked for from Yang Fu was 400,000 dendrobium grains.

After passing the deal, Cao Hong himself received an extra 100,000 hu of grain, which was not excessive at all!

And as soon as the matter of raising food was mentioned, the expressions of everyone here... became gloomy.

At this time, the smile on Cao Hong's face, who was originally smiling, disappeared. He looked around at everyone around him... The pleasant look he had just now turned cold.

"Didn't Governor Yang speak loudly just now? Now... why are you mute?"

Cao Hong's eyes narrowed, "A county raises 400,000 dendrobium grains? Isn't it too much? This is life-saving grain, let you raise it? Ah... Isn't it too much?"

At the last four words, "It's not too much," Cao Hong suddenly raised his tone.

Yang Fu frowned and sighed: "General Cao also knows that in order to supply the Prime Minister's conquest of Hanzhong, the grain depots in Longyou and Guanxi have been emptied. There has been a large-scale recruitment of troops in the Xiangfan battlefield, and the food from the Central Plains has been supplied there. It's still early before the harvest month, Wudu County...where can we raise so much food?"

"Oh..." Cao Hong's eyes turned into crescents, "What do you mean? The hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers in Hanzhong? Should they just wait and starve to death?"

"I…"

Before Yang Fu could open his mouth, Cao Hong waved his arm and said, "If we can't raise food, there is the simplest way..."

"What?" Yang Fu asked.

Cao Hong's eyes narrowed to a slit, and he chanted an extremely cold word.

"--Rob!"

He continued to add: "Each household has a prescribed number. If any household does not hand over this number, then rob it. I would like to see which household has not ordered and stored grain?"

"But..." Yang Fu said quickly.

Before speaking, he did not forget to glance at the two leaders of the Di tribe, "These people of the Di tribe...before..."

His words started, but ended abruptly.

He wanted to say... When the Prime Minister conquered Hanzhong, he had already plundered... no, he had massacred the Di people once.

That was in "Hechi City". Di King Dou Mao led more than 10,000 people to defend the city despite danger. After defeat, he was massacred by Cao's army.

All the food and women in their homes were looted. This was Cao Cao's latest "city massacre" and it was also the first time in this land of Yongliang that such an indiscriminate "river of blood" flowed!

Of course, there are many branches of the Di tribe, and the Hechi Di tribe is just one of them.

But as both Di people, Yang Fu did not dare to talk about this matter in front of King Di of Wudu and King of Yinping... It was too bloody and cruel.

Cao Hong understood what he meant. He turned his head and looked at the two Di kings, "You two don't want our Wei soldiers to starve to death in Hanzhong, right? Haha... I'll just treat this grain as if I borrowed it from the local Di people. When Bashu is pacified, I will return the principal to you with interest? How about that?"

King Yin Ping Di's "Qiang Duan" quickly handed over his hand, "It is truly an honor for us to be able to contribute to the great Wei Dynasty!"

Wudu Di King "Lei Ding" showed a slightly embarrassed look, "After years of fighting, my tribe...is afraid...that it won't be able to raise this food?"

"If you can't raise it, let Governor Yang help you raise it."

"Prefect Yang can't raise the money, so let me, the general, help you raise it!" Cao Hong was very rude and left such a sentence. He flicked his long sleeves and walked away!

Only the people inside the house were left looking at each other.

Yang Fu said "Oh", he tossed his sleeves dejectedly, and then stamped his feet helplessly.

The two Di kings left together, and their happiness and anger could not be seen clearly.

Wang Yize bit her lip again. She sat next to Zhao Ang and murmured in a low voice:

"We massacred the city last year, this year...are we going to plunder again?"

"Shhh..." Zhao Ang quickly covered her mouth and reminded in a low voice, "Let's talk about it when we get back, here... you will lose your head!"

Wang Yi's face darkened, and she couldn't help but murmur:

——"Is this...the great Wei that my husband and I are guarding?" 』

——"At the beginning, I advised my husband that loyalty is the foundation of life, and sacrificing oneself is not a big deal, let alone just a son?" Haha... now it seems..."

——‘…How ironic! 』

…

…

Axes, axes, hooks and forks, swords, spears, swords and halberds.

It is hard to imagine that there are more than a hundred female guards in the inner courtyard of General Zuo's Mansion in Chengdu City, a small courtyard with several entrances and exits.

Most are armed with long swords, and some also use special weapons.

There are even watchtowers built at the four corners of the courtyard, and there are female soldiers on the watchtower looking around vigilantly.

These are Sun Shangxiang's female soldiers.

Speaking of which, there is also a door in the inner courtyard of General Zuo's Mansion that leads directly to the street. Therefore... Sun Shangxiang and her female soldiers rarely go through the main entrance of General Zuo's Mansion.

In this way, Liu Bei was naturally avoided.

Even throughout the year, the days when Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei met were numbered.

The two of them have a tacit understanding to maintain the "political marriage" that is "emotionless" under the Sun-Liu alliance...

At this moment, Sun Shangxiang walked into the mansion from outside. When a group of female soldiers saw her, they all knelt down on one knee, moving neatly but saying nothing.

Sun Shangxiang came back from a trip to the mountains and rivers. She said that she was to draw a map of Bashu.

The smile that was just pretending to be carefree, carefree, and at ease gradually faded away after returning to the mansion, and his expression became sharp and solemn.

She strode into a heavily guarded wing.

The female soldier at the door quickly placed the three bamboo slips on the table.

Sun Shangxiang was not in a hurry to look, so he asked first: "How is Adou doing?"

A maidservant holding a sword replied: "Jingxiao has almost taken away Adou's soul. Now once Adou has some free time, he will sneak out of General Zuo's Mansion and go to Li's Mansion to find Jingxiao...sing and dance together, We draw together and play together... They are just like childhood sweethearts."

Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang nodded slightly, but then shook his head, "Jingxiao is my most outstanding 'female' in Soochow. She originally planned to control Li Yan as her adopted daughter, but she never expected... to become Adou's playmate... That's fine...tell Jingxiao and ask her to mention this lady to Adou more, so that Adou realizes that this lady is his aunt, the person closest to him, the person closest to him..."

Sun Shangxiang has his own plan.

Liu Bei is no longer young, but she is still young.

Since she came to Bashu, she, Sun Shangxiang, would always do something for Soochow.

Considering that Adou is not smart and has a simple heart, if... through him, he can further influence... and even control Bashu, it will be of great benefit to Soochow without any harm.

After chanting this sentence softly, Sun Shangxiang calmed down her mind. She winked at the maid holding the sword, and the maid ordered:

"Let's do something..."

Immediately, the first female soldier reported: "The maid from the Third General's Mansion came back with a message, saying that the Three Generals are about to go north to attack Xiaben City. It seems that Uncle Liu has given instructions."

This piece of information had little to do with Sun Shangxiang. She just waved her hand and passed...

Even on the bamboo slips with specific contents, Sun Shangxiang only read one line and threw them aside.

"Next…"

The second female soldier reported: "The concubine in Fazheng's residence sent news that Uncle Liu Huang was discussing with Fazheng and planned to send Adou to Jingzhou..."

Sun Shangxiang, who was originally squinting, suddenly opened her eyes wide when she heard this piece of information, and she quickly unfolded the bamboo slips from which she found the piece of information.

She looked at the bamboo slips and ordered: "Go on..."

The female soldier said truthfully: "It seems that Guan Lin wrote a military book called "Fighting the God of War". After reading it, the three generals led the troops and their strategies improved rapidly. This attracted Uncle Liu Huang's attention and decided to send Mr. Adou to that Guan. Lin, let Guan Lin teach him!"

this…

Sun Shangxiang's eyes couldn't help but roll, this was somewhat inconsistent with her plan.

If we go to Jingzhou, I'm afraid Adou... will be difficult to control.

Sun Shangxiang felt that this matter needed careful consideration.

"Continue..." she continued, putting this matter aside for now.

At this time, the third female soldier walked out and carefully took out a letter from her arms.

Sun Shangxiang raised his eyes and noticed the female soldier, "You are... my second brother's maid, right?"

The female soldier nodded, "Yes... I was responsible for protecting Bu Lianshi's wife and the two princesses Dahu and Xiaohu in Jiangdong. This time I was specially appointed by the Lord to deliver a letter to the 'Jiefan Camp' Governor!"

——The Commander-in-Chief of Jiefan Camp!

The appearance of this title made Sun Shangxiang startled, her spirit was also lifted, and her eyes could not help but widen a lot.

"Second brother also told you about Jiefan camp?"

Listening to Sun Shangxiang's inquiry, the female soldier replied in a low voice: "Cao Wei, Bashu, and Soochow all have their own espionage organizations. Cao Wei's is the 'Jinzhuo Cao' affiliated to the school affairs office. It used to be in charge of Guo Jia. There will no longer be a dedicated person in charge;"

"Bashu was originally the Military Council headed by Pang Tong. After Pang Tong died at Luofengpo, Liu Bei handed over the Military Council to Fa Zheng!"

"As for... Soochow is the 'Jiefan Camp'. The commander-in-chief of Jiefan Camp is particularly vacant right now. Jiefan Camp is also temporarily commanded by General Zhu Ran, but few people know that the vacant commander-in-chief is none other than Mrs. Sun!"

Because of the female soldier's words, Sun Shangxiang turned away everyone. She deliberately dimmed the lights in the room. It seemed that out of caution, she simply blew out the oil lamp.

Only a weak candlelight remained.

It was only at this moment that Sun Shangxiang slowly and seriously opened his mouth: "Okay, you can tell me now what exactly my second brother sent you here to tell me -"

The female soldier also looked around cautiously.

Seeing that the doors and windows were locked and there was no light, she lowered her voice.

"My lord plans to tear up the alliance between Sun and Liu and launch a surprise attack on Jingzhou. Madam should look for the right opportunity to return to Soochow with Adou... My lord said, it's time for the governor of Soochow's Jiefan camp to return! My lord also asked... Madam, do you still remember before the Battle of Chibi? Was it the oath that Madam mentioned in front of him? Now Soochow...is at a critical moment again!"

oath…

Sun Shangxiang suddenly became speechless. She subconsciously thought of the slogan she shouted in front of Sun Quan before the Battle of Chibi.

——The children of the Sun family would rather die than surrender, die on the battlefield, rather than die in a hotbed!

That's because...the Battle of Chibi is already a crisis for Jiangdong's survival...

——"What does second brother mean?" 』

——"Is Kodong once again in danger of survival?" 』

…
