Chapter 189 Second brother, second brother, your son really dares to write!
Hanzhong is on the official road leading to Shangyong.
The horn sounded loudly, the military flag fluttered, there were two flags in the middle, and four big words on the right side - We are ordered to punish thieves.
On the left is a letter written by the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty and the Duke of Wei, Cao Cao.
Cao Wei's soldiers were already in formation and in high spirits.
Cao Cao, who was already sixty years old, was sitting on the Wuyu carriage, his eyes were like lightning and his face was gloomy.
Next to him, Xu Chu was riding a horse. His huge figure looked like he could overwhelm the horse.
Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen led their personal guards to escort them to the left and right.
It was obvious that they were not in a good mood.
That's right... In Shuzhong, the fight suddenly stopped and changed its route to help Xiangfan. The cooked duck flew away. Who would be in a better mood?
Xia Houyuan, Zhang He, and Xu Huang who stayed in Hanzhong were all wearing armor, and they were walking beside Cao Cao.
"Brother, go slowly. It's a long journey here, and the opponent is Guan Yu. There's no need to rush."
It is hard to imagine that the person who advised Cao Cao to march slowly was Xia Houyuan, who was famous for his marching speed of "five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days."
"You are so talented, please don't try to persuade me."
Cao Cao waved his hand gently. "But you, after my brother leaves, you must be very careful when stationed in Hanzhong. Guan Yangping Pass is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The terrain is extremely dangerous, and it is located at the intersection of the Hao River and the Han River, with both west and south sides. Surrounded by rivers and backed by dangerous mountains, it can be called the most powerful pass in Hanzhong."
"Keep this place safe. No matter how cunning the big-eared thief is, or how clever Zhuge villagers are, Hanzhong will be safe! When Xiangfan is captured, I will come back to help you."
As he spoke, Cao Cao did not forget to stretch out his arm and pat Xia Houyuan heavily on the shoulder.
Xia Houyuan handed over his hand. "I will obey the Prime Minister's words. Yuan will guard Yangping Pass."
Xia Houyuan expressed his stance, but Zhang He and Xu Huang seemed to be in a depressed mood. They looked at each other and both let out long sighs.
Their mood was the same as that of Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, not so happy.
After preparing to go south for so long, I have become proficient in mountain warfare. Now it is better not to attack but to defend.
Isn’t this just allowing the big-eared thief to grow bigger?
nature…
Cao Cao had a clear view of the moods of these lieutenants. He raised his hand and repeated that sentence loudly.
"People are not satisfied with the suffering. Now that we have captured Long, we will look back at Shu! All the officers and men will follow me south to Jingxiang. Once Jingxiang is defeated, Bashu will be isolated and helpless, and the big-eared thief will not be able to get along with the Zhuge villagers!"
After finishing his words, Cao Cao waved his hand, solemn and exciting military music sounded, and the army continued to move forward.
After a while, the army disappeared on the official road, and Xia Houyuan led the troops away first.
Xu Huang rode up to Zhang He. He winked at Zhang He, and the two men moved aside.
Xu Huang just said with emotion: "General Zhang, you are indeed right."
Zhang He sighed "Alas" and was about to express the frustration in his chest.
Suddenly, someone called them from behind.
"General Xu, General Zhang..."
Xu Huang and Zhang He turned around and saw a familiar face, one of Cao Cao's tiger and leopard mounted guards.
The two of them were slightly surprised.
But the tiger and leopard riding guard said: "I have been ordered by the Prime Minister to bring a message to you two. Tonight... outside Yangping Pass, the Prime Minister specially left something to give to the two generals. Please go alone!"
Well…
After saying this, the atmosphere suddenly became mysterious.
Of course, Zhang He and Xu Huang did not doubt the identity of this tiger and leopard rider.
In fact, this is not the first time that Su Wei has summoned Cao Cao.
Just...this time.
It was clear that the prime minister had left, but he still invited the two of them to go outside Yangping Pass, saying that he would leave something behind.
What's left?
"I don't know, what did the Prime Minister leave behind? It must be late at night to see people?"
"You will know as soon as the two generals leave."
Xu Huang also wanted to ask. Su Wei had already turned around and rode away. The place where they were attacking... was Cao Cao's Tiger and Ben Army Corps.
For a moment, Zhang He and Xu Huang looked at each other.
More and more mystery swept through my body.
Over there.
After Cao Cao walked away, he waved his hand, and Xu Chu quickly rode to Cao Cao's carriage.
Cao Cao asked: "Have you sent someone to inform Gong Ming and Jun Yi?"
Xu Chu answered truthfully: "According to the prime minister's instructions, I have informed you."
Cao Cao nodded slightly, but asked again: "Is the stove ready at Miaocai?"
"Everything is ready..."
After hearing Xu Chu's affirmative answer, Cao Cao turned around and saw the thick smoke rising over Hanzhong City. He finally showed a cheerful smile.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
He was in a good mood.
People say that if Cao Cao smiles, life or death will be unpredictable!
But I don’t know, this time...who will live or die?
…
…
Chengdu, General Zuo's Mansion.
When Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang rushed back, Fazheng, Li Yan, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan and others were already guarding the door.
It seems that they also heard the news of Cao Cao's withdrawal.
There were also several messengers, and they did not dare to read out the latest "biography" without Liu Bei.
"Let's do something——"
Liu Bei sat on the main seat, Mi Zhu sat on the second seat on the left, Zhuge Liang sat next to Mi Zhu, Fazheng sat beside Zhuge Liang, and below them were Li Yan, Sun Qian, Jian Yong...
Just looking at this seat, it is very particular.
As Zhu Wenwu knelt down on both sides, the messenger began to report.
"I received the flying pigeon two hours ago. The Wei army is indeed withdrawing..."
"I received the flying pigeon an hour ago, and I can confirm that Cao Cao is in the withdrawal team, and Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen are all there..."
"We received flying pigeons half an hour ago, and the Wei army passed by Shangyong with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses."
Hearing this, Liu Bei said to himself with mixed emotions: "Finally... God has been kind to the Han Dynasty. It's good to retreat, and it's good to retreat."
I was still in Zhuge Mansion just now, and I planned to read Guan Lin's third answer sheet.
But when Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang heard that Cao Cao was retreating, they could not remain calm.
Hurry back to General Zuo's Mansion...
I was going to summon all the civil and military officials to discuss this matter, but I never thought that they would all be here already.
Huang Zhong suggested: "My lord, since Cao Cao is not here, the Wei army does not dare to go south. This is a good opportunity. Our army should go north to capture Hanzhong."
"No..." Fazheng quickly reminded: "Sooner or later, Hanzhong will be captured, but the time is not ripe yet. What the lord needs now is more time to develop, time to secure Yizhou."
"For three months, people in Shu have been in panic. No matter whether it is the soldiers of the three armies or the officials, no one can sleep peacefully. Everyone is under great pressure. At this time... the soldiers stationed at the pass should be relieved. Take precautions, take a rest, and let the officials and the people breathe a sigh of relief. The so-called relaxation is appropriate. When Cao Cao's thieves go south, they should be prepared with a tight formation, and when Cao's thieves retreat, they should also relax a bit."
When Fazheng said these words, his hand seemed to cover his chest inadvertently and scratched it a little, but this action was very subtle and was not noticed by anyone.
It seems that his body...is not easy to bear this pressure.
"I think so too."
Liu Bei spoke quickly, unable to hide his approval of his "good friend" Fazheng's proposal. "The soldiers on Jinniu Road, Micang Road, and Lychee Road have been in intensive formation for so many months. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on any longer. Mo."
Speaking of them, even the preparations were under great pressure and could not sleep all night. Takanao said, "Relax in a certain way"... It is really time for the soldiers, officials, people, and myself... to take off their guard and take a rest, haha
…”
As he spoke, Liu Bei smiled slightly.
When he smiled, the whole court laughed.
This is a smile of relief under great pressure.
When the laughter subsides, Liu Bei will give the order...
"My lord..." Zhuge Liang said quickly: "My lord, I won't be lax for a day or two anymore. You need to know that Cao Cao is well versed in the art of war. The so-called soldiers are deceitful. He just evacuated today. In order to prevent him from being deceitful, you might as well
Observe for another one or two days... If there is no movement of Cao's army in one or two days, it will not be too late to remove the protection and relax for a while. I believe the soldiers can understand."
These words blurted out...Liu Bei paused slightly, as if thinking for a moment.
Immediately, he nodded in support.
"Kong Ming's words make sense."
Liu Bei's attitude towards Zhuge Liang was completely different from Fazheng's, and it was an attitude of general respect for his master.
Liu Bei followed everything Zhuge Liang suggested.
After that, they discussed the details about Cao Cao's withdrawal for a while, and then the morning meeting dispersed.
When the civil and military officers walked out of General Zuo's Mansion, the whole street was filled with cheers...
"Cao Cao retreated, Cao Cao retreated—"
"Sichuan has been saved, Shuzhong has been saved——"
"Finally, we don't have to face battles anymore."
"So... after there is no war, will the price of goods come down a little?"
There were common people, soldiers, and many officials, big and small. Some people shouted sincerely...
Some people harbor hopes for price stability.
The people of Chengdu...are too eager for stability, and they are really not keen on intra-ethnic struggles.
And these, sentence by sentence, reached Fazheng's ears.
Hearing this, he also let out a long breath.
The pressure for Fa-rectification is greater than anyone else...
He had single-handedly brought Liu Bei into Shu, and he would never accept Cao Cao taking back everything he had finally obtained.
Exactly, at this time.
No matter how he fights, Liu Bei will never be Cao Cao's opponent!
During this period, Fa Zheng was under tremendous psychological pressure.
He even fainted twice while dealing with military affairs. Fortunately, the adjutant found him in a hurry and rescued him.
After asking the doctor to take a look, he only said that he was under too much psychological pressure.
Fazheng also specifically told Liu Bei not to tell Liu Bei about his fainting, so as not to worry this "good friend".
In fact, Fazheng knows very well what is wrong with him and how his father died.
Can…
How many good gay friends can a person find in his life who are "like-minded"? How many times can he fight side by side with a good gay friend?
In order to be a good friend, he must use his "remaining" body and will to persevere.
"——The next step is the difficult problem in Shu!"
"——With Kong Ming here, these... these are not problems."
I don't know if I am too excited or what.
Fa Zheng suddenly felt his heartbeat speed up...
He quickly looked around and found that no one had noticed him. He quickly trotted onto the carriage and told the groom, "Go back home first...quickly, hurry up, and...invite Dr. Li too!"
Fazheng was still unwilling to tell Liu Bei the truth about his illness, let alone how his father died.
Fazheng was worried that once Liu Bei was told about his condition, Liu Bei would not dare to delegate too many difficult tasks to him out of concern for his health.
Then, how can he help this good friend?
How else can he help his gay friends regain the Central Plains?
——"Xuande, Xuande!"
Over here, Fa Zheng was sighing quietly in the carriage.
Over there, the council dispersed, and Zhuge Liang was about to leave, but Liu Bei called him to stop him.
"Kong Ming hasn't told me yet, what is Yun Qi's answer to the third question?"
Yun Qi answered the first two questions so incisively. It was precisely because of this that Liu Bei was eager to see through the third question.
However, Zhuge Liang showed a hint of embarrassment, "Master, do you really want to see it?"
"What's so difficult about this?" Liu Bei asked back, "Isn't it good that Yun Qi didn't answer the first two questions? One solved the imminent problem in Shu, and the other solved the problem of empty treasury in Shu... This son's case files are not
Speaking of shocking the world, it can also be called 'weeping ghosts and gods'? Why did Kong Ming hesitate on the third question? Was it after Yun Qi changed his answer?"
As he spoke, Liu Bei had some doubts.
But I am more curious about Guan Lin's answer.
"It's not bad, ugh..." Zhuge Liang sighed. He looked around the main hall of General Zuo's Mansion. Everyone had dispersed... only he and Liu Bei were left.
Only then did Zhuge Liang take out the third answer sheet from his arms, and he slowly unfolded it...
Liu Bei saw that there were many words densely packed on it.
I was still muttering in my heart. Yun Qi cherished words like gold in the first two questions. This third answer sheet was about the distribution of land and acres to meritorious ministers after entering Shu. Yun Qi started to talk non-stop? He wrote so many words.
.
But at this time.
Zhuge Liang pointed to the first column of words and presented the examination paper to Liu Bei: "My lord, please take a look..."
It seemed that You Zi was worried, Zhuge Liang added.
——"Lord, don't be too surprised!"
Liu Bei suddenly saw the first column.
Divide the land into acres!
——"Dividing a small person into an acre? What does it mean to spread a small amount into an acre?"
Liu Bei was just confused.
But Liu Bei was immediately frightened by the small words that came out of the house.
He groaned in astonishment - "Abolish...abolish the poll tax, change...to a land tax, and divide a person into an mu? Abolish...abolish a person into an mu?"
this…
Liu Bei seemed to suddenly realize the profound meaning of this sentence.
His eyes suddenly widened.
——"Yun Qi... Yun Qi is not only reaching out to the merchants, but also reaching out to the clan!"
The text in the second column has already flooded into Liu Bei's eyes.
——Grow people, never add talent!
——Never add gifts!
"Gudong" sound.
Liu Bei swallowed subconsciously, feeling his knees sore and weak.
At that moment, there was a burst of exclamation in his heart.
"——Second brother, second brother, your son really dares to write!"
…
…
In Changsha County, the sun shines on the nine ridges and in front of the Changsha County Government Office with majestic double eaves.
I don't know why, but today there are many people gathered here, gathered in small and small groups.
There were even many people gathered around the Dengwen drum, looking with sharp eyes at the Dengwen drum that had been beaten just a few days ago.
Just like before the Battle of Hefei...
With Soochow's push, it only took a few days for the "Hefei Bet" to spread throughout Jingzhou, and everyone in Soochow knew it.
Same this time.
Rumors spread widely throughout Jingzhou and Soochow.
What about "The fourth young master Guan is extremely domineering and oppresses the good, and the miracle doctor Zhongjing is dying and unable to resist;"
What about "Two disciples were kidnapped, the adopted daughter beat the drum in anger, and there was no way to complain!"
What is "Second Master Guan failed to teach his son well, and the Fourth Young Master acted recklessly!"
Fueled by such rumors...
Under the organization of caring people, more and more people poured into the Changsha County government office, staring at the Dengwen drum with pairs of eyes.
They all know...
The person who is going to beat the Dengwen drum later is definitely not one person, but a group of people, a group of people in the apricot forest.
This time the people in the apricot forest were surprisingly united.
There were many people in the crowd who had come from afar to support Dr. Zhongjing.
Because "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases" was very influential, and Zhang Zhongjing was known as a benevolent and miraculous doctor, not to mention that Zhang Zhongjing also served as the governor of Changsha?
The old prefect has been bullied like this.
Let me ask you, do you care about the new Changsha County Sheriff?
If you don't care, then these people will go directly north to Jiangling to meet Guan Gong.
Go and beat the Dengwen drum in front of Guanfu.
They are about to ask Guan Yu, do you bear the charge of teaching your son improperly or not?
And because of Soochow's push, the impact of this incident was not limited to "Xinglin", and even many Taoists came one after another to make the decision for Zhang Zhongjing!
There was already a lot of discussion among the crowd at this moment.
"——The sky is angry and people are resentful, the sky is angry and people are resentful..."
"——This Guan Lin is so unscrupulous just because his father is Guan Erye. There is simply no royal law."
"——Today we and other Taoist people will definitely seek justice for Mr. Zhang, and we will definitely rescue Mr. Zhang's disciples. If no one is knocking on this drum, I will knock it!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd, "Miracle Doctor Zhongjing has mostly recovered. I heard that he was saved by the medical book written by Mr. Guan Si..."
These words just came out of my mouth.
In an instant, countless people were criticizing him: "This person must have been sent by the 'traitor'!"
"The law of heaven is clear, you actually ignored the truth and became the pawn of that evil young man, tricking us... beat... beat out the boy sent by this evil young man!"
"Do you think anyone will speak up for this evil young man?"
A moment of time…
A group of people, including the common people, punched and kicked the person who "spoke the truth".
This man didn't dare to speak anymore and ran away crawling.
——Lies are like this. Under public opinion, they can easily cover up the truth.
——And when lies become the norm, telling the truth becomes a sin and a beating!
Zhuge Jin was also in the crowd. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel happy secretly.
The situation is good.
Things also tend to get worse and worse.
At this moment, Liao Li, the governor of Changsha in the government office, was also one of the top two.
Facts have proved that this talented man who was rated as "the outstanding talent of Chu" by Zhuge Liang and was compared with Pang Tong was far from capable enough to deserve such a "title".
He felt like he was going crazy... He couldn't handle this situation at all.
Because the West Prison was taken over by Guan Lin.
What he doesn't know now is that Guan Lin released two of Zhang Zhongjing's disciples last night.
He had no way of knowing Zhang Zhongjing's current situation.
But he had to face... the denunciation of the entire Xinglin, the entire people, and even those in the Taoist sect who had an overwhelming sense of justice.
Following the announcement from the guards, he did not dare to open the door of the official office at all.
He was determined, and now he has become a coward.
No matter who beats the Dengwen drum, he will never open the door even if the Dengwen drum is smashed.
only…
Still waiting for the "rumbling" sound of the Denwen drum.
What came first was the sound of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
——It’s Suona!
This musical instrument, which was introduced to the Han Dynasty via the Silk Road, is less than a hundred years old, but its power has already begun to show.
In front of it, no matter what kind of pipa, what kind of guqin, what kind of flute... even Hong Zhong Dalu, no matter what sound you make, as long as you blow the suona, they will all be suppressed!
It is no exaggeration to say that this suona... can blow from a person's "birth" to his "first seven years"
As the saying goes, among the musical instruments in the world, the suona is the king. It either ascends to heaven or worships in the hall.
At this moment, dozens of Taoists were blowing together, making a whimpering sound of suona...Suddenly, even the noisy sound outside the government office lost its color.
As the voice fell, a middle-aged man in Taoist robes slowly walked out.
He was carrying a sword on his back and holding a talisman... He looked like a master from outside the world. When everyone in the Taoist sect saw him, they all saluted without exception.
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"Master Ge, it turns out to be - Master Ge!"
"Is Master Ge also here to seek justice for Divine Doctor Zhang?"
"With Master Ge here, that 'evil young man' will definitely be punished!"
The "Master Ge" in this crowd's mouth is none other than someone else!
It was Ge Xuan, a well-known alchemist in Jingnan and Soochow.
People in the Taoist sect call him "Ge Xian Gong", also known as "Tai Chi Zuo Xian Gong".
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the founder-level figure of the Taoist Lingbao Sect.
And his master is also famous in Soochow and Jingnan, known as Mr. Wujiao - Zuo Ci, Zuo Xianweng.
Of course, unlike many Taoist stories about Ge Xuan, Zuo Ci eventually "ascends to immortality"... knows magic and is an immortal!
This is all a lie!
Ge Xuan and Zuo Ci are both ordinary people, but they are better at "blindness" and "pharmaceutics"... They can use the so-called "blindness" to create the effect of "immortal magic".
Because of this, they enjoy a high reputation among the people.
Of course, it doesn't matter...
The important thing is that Ge Xuan is here. With his reputation, as long as he stops in front of Dengwen Drum...
This matter... will never be settled simply!
This matter must be a big deal.
At this time, seeing Ge Xuan, Zhuge Jin let out a long breath in the dark.
I thought to myself:
"——I never thought that he would be here!"
"--Yeah!"
"——Guan Gong, Guan Gong, I, Zhuge Ziyu, should be able to win back the victory this time!"
