Chapter 288 Sister Xiaoqiao Liushui, sister is on the water side
In Xiaopei City, the wind and cranes are in a panic.
——"Where is the big-eared thief?"
Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and rode down the city tower, shouting to the city tower with a loud voice. It seemed that he was quite angry.
"Liu Bei is here, why did General Fengxian lead his army?" Liu Bei also responded with a loud voice on the city tower, trying to find the last room for reversal.
——"Hmph, Cao Cao wrote a letter to Hao Meng, who was seized by this marquis. The letter was clearly written in the letter. You join forces with Cao's thieves to seek me, Lu Bu!"
Lu Bu glared at him, and in his hand... this steel-forged Fangtian Painted Hydra pointed directly above the city tower, and the sharp edge of the halberd was shining with cold light!
"The general must have misunderstood. Liu Bei will only work together with the general to fight against the enemy and protect Xia Pi City together. He will never collude with Cao Cao to plot the general's territory. If the general is destroyed, Liu Bei is here? How can I do this? Wait for stupid things?"
Liu Bei responded again...
——"Hahaha..." Lu Bu laughed, "Big ear thief, don't be sensible. You help Cao thief attack Yuan Shu, and you can escape unscathed. Humph, don't think I don't know, what are you planning? I will treat you Bo, but you betrayed me!"
——"Big ear thief, you are loyal on the outside but treacherous on the inside. Open the city gate quickly and I can spare you! Otherwise, you will capture the city, and the young and old will not stay!"
Speaking of this, it is equivalent to the fact that the talk has collapsed and there is no room for improvement.
Liu Bei's face dimmed.
"Brother, don't be afraid of him!" Zhang Fei also mentioned the Snake Spear, "We have me in Xiaopei City... Brother, please take a look, let me take the three thousand iron cavalry to fight this guy!"
As he spoke, Zhang Fei planned to order his troops out of the city.
"Don't move!" Liu Bei quickly stopped... "Lu Bu's army is powerful, so don't go out of the city to fight!"
"Lord, for the sake of this plan, I can only ask Cao Cao to help." Mi Zhu, who was standing beside him, also had his eyebrows narrowed, his face extremely tragic.
call…
Hearing this, Liu Bei breathed out a long breath.
It’s so sad, what is sad? Liu Bei is just like the word sad!
He knew that this was Cao Cao's treacherous plan, but in the end, he had to ask Cao Cao for help, and gave him the reason for sending troops for free, and he used to freely defeat Xiao Pei...
No... it was the vain that he gave away Xia Pi City, Guangling City, and even Lu Bu's heads!
After all... Zhongyuan is about to fall into Cao Cao's hands.
When Liu Bei's face turned dimmed when he thought of this!
Why? Why?
Since he entered this chaotic world of disputes, Liu Bei never had a backer, no territory, and no one to help him... He could only establish himself in the world with "benevolence and righteousness", but what did benevolence and righteousness get in the end?
It is the last Xiaopei city that cannot be preserved. It is because I give up all my dreams and hopes, and I am the fish for everyone to take the blame!
Is he wrong? Is his path wrong?
But even if it is wrong, then...what is wrong again?
Why?
Cao Cao is a treacherous hero? Why... his troops are fighting more and more, and the attack of each city is effortless. Even if he is living in the Central Plains without any effort, he is Liu Bei, compared to Cao Cao... what is worse than Liu Bei?
Huh... I sighed again.
Liu Bei's eyebrows were condensing.
He shouted: "Where is Mi Fang?"
"The last one will be here!"
"Because Lu Bu's siege was not completed, you immediately led your troops to break out. It's too late for me to write a letter. You rushed to Xudu City to ask Cao Cao for help. In addition, when passing by Yunchang Camp, tell him to stay and wait. To help, you must not send troops to help Peicheng before the arrival of Cao's army!”
Liu Bei gave a serious order, and under his calm face, his heart was already on the verge of collapse.
"promise!"
Mi Fang agreed to break through with a loud noise.
After all...after all, have you embarked on the path of asking for help from Cao Cao?
…
…
Xudu City, Sinong Mansion.
Today is a specially selected auspicious day. Originally... According to Lu Yu's arrangement, it is better to choose a day than to meet the day. Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao went to the Siong Mansion and chose a day to serve tea and walk around...
But Cai Zhaoji is quite particular.
Even if it is a concubine, it is also the concubine that my brother married. It is not robbed. Naturally, I have to choose a good day, and there is no limit to the corresponding rules here.
It is necessary to make the girl feel like she belongs to marry into a wealthy family, just like the mistress of the Siong Mansion.
And today's Double Eleven is a good day.
But I don’t know what Brother Yu is busy with these few days? It seems that he hasn’t returned home for three or four days. Cai Zhaoji is busy with etiquette and doesn’t care about him.
"Junior sister, congratulations!"
A powerful voice came from outside the door...
Half an hour later, it was Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's tea ceremony. Now, some friends who are good at Cai Zhaoji come to congratulate him. The "congratulations" was Zhong Yao's voice.
Speaking of which, Zhong Yao was appointed as a teacher at the Imperial Academy, and in name was the subordinate of Cai Yan and Lu Yu, the two general leaders.
In addition to the relationship between Zhong Yao and Cai Yong, the relationship between Zhong Yao and Cai Zhaoji and his brother-in-law is in a reasonable way, and they should be celebrated.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Zhong."
Cai Zhaoji stood up slowly...
But I saw a servant behind Zhong Yao holding two plaques, one with the words "Small Bridge Flowing Water" written on it, and the other with the words "On the Water". It was obvious that this was sent by Zhong Yao, a great calligrapher.
Gift - Da Qiao, the plaque of Xiao Qiao's wing courtyard.
Speaking of which, after Zhang Zhi, the founder of cursive script in the Han Dynasty, there were only three most famous calligraphers - Cai Yong, Cai Zhaoji, and Zhong Yao!
It can be said that the cursive script they wrote under their ink reached its peak in this era and was extremely precious.
These two plaques that Zhong Yao picked up!
With just eight big characters, it is hard to find many wealthy and wealthy families.
"Senior Brother Zhong, your Feibai Book already has 90% of the charm of your father!" Cai Zhaoji smiled, looked at the two plaques in front of him, and praised with a smile.
Feibai Shu, also known as "cursive seal script", is a font with a special writing method. It was learned by Cai Yong who once observed a craftsman dipped in lime water in front of the Hongdu Literature Museum.
This kind of "a slight white style in the painting" was created - Feibai Book!
This style of calligraphy is extremely difficult and is quite popular throughout the Han Dynasty!
Now it seems that Zhong Yao's writing skills are already vaguely showing signs that he has surpassed Cai Zhaoji.
"If that's the case... my strength is still much worse than that of my junior sister." Zhong Yao waved his hand. In front of his junior sister, Cai Yan, the most powerful woman in the world, he always acted particularly modest. "After all,"
It’s good that the junior sister likes it. After all, she is the concubine of the Sinong Mansion and the plaque of the Pavilion Court. She cannot weaken her aura.”
Zhong Yao said with a smile while stroking his beard.
Don’t look at him in his forties, but his senior brother and junior sister shouted without any sense of incongruity.
Just then...
Step on the tread…
The rapid footsteps sounded.
"Mr. Zhong, you can find you..."
Several small yellow gates outside the door rushed over. They were panting, as if they had put some effort into finding Zhong Yao.
this…
Before Zhong Yao could react, Xiaohuangmen took out a letter of emperor's edict from his sleeve.
"Mr. Zhong, please accept the order..."
While speaking, Xiao Huangmenjun read out the contents of the edict, which were nothing more than what Cao Cao ordered before.
Zhong Yao was appointed as the chief officer of the Si Li, and the governor of the Guanzhong army with responsibilities!
When I heard the front, there was not much change in the expressions of Cai Zhaoji and Zhong Yao.
The words of the Shizhong, if you are the palace officials under the "Shaofu", one of the nine ministers, you will have no great power to directly provide for the dismissal positions assigned by the emperor!
The Sili School Captain is not simple. The officers and soldiers in charge of Sili, Cao Song and Sima Fang, had held this position in the past. The rights of this position are approximately equal to the director of the provincial police station in later generations...
What surprised Zhong Yao the most was that he was the ruler of the army in Guanzhong!
Holding the ritual is equivalent to going on a patrol by the emperor. In the eyes of local officials and generals, it is equivalent to the imperial envoy in later generations.
And the governor of the Guanzhong army, this...
This is not obvious. Is it because Zhong Yao went to Guanzhong to appease Han Sui, Ma Teng and other princes in Guanzhong?
Thinking of this, Zhong Yao's brows tightened. Fortunately, he is a great calligrapher, calm and composed... Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face remained unchanged. If it were someone else, he would have been shocked when he heard about the tiger and wolf den in Guanzhong.
Cold sweat.
Can…
He was a teacher at the Imperial Academy? Why did he rise to the top for no reason and take such an important task?
Zhong Yao's eyes subconsciously condensed, and his forehead was filled with question marks.
Cai Zhaoji was also surprised. She asked quickly: "This envoy, is this edict really appointed by His Majesty?"
She knew her senior brother very well. He... was just a literati, and he was still able to teach students calligraphy. When he went to the tiger and wolf den of the warlords in Guanzhong, his senior brother didn't know much martial arts? This is not the bone that was eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards.
All left?
"Miss Cai Yan..." Xiaohuangmen turned his head and looked at Cai Yan, his tone adding a little humble to his tone.
You know, this girl’s younger brother, Lu Yu, Lu Sinong, was the one who both Cao camp and Hanting wanted to fight for, and he would not dare to offend Miss Cai Yan.
The little yellow door arched its body, and its waist was bent like an arch bridge. "Miss, don't you know, Mr. Zhong... Oh no, it's Zhong Xiaowei, but it was recommended by our Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan is as keen as a wise man. He has recommended it
Who is the mediocre person?”
"By the way, Lu Siong also asked our family to bring Mr. Zhong a gift. Lu Siong ordered him. When he arrived in Guanzhong, Mr. Zhong opened it while walking, and there was a surprise hidden inside!"
As he spoke, Xiaohuangmen took out a red tip from his arms and handed it to Zhong Yao.
The tips are very light, but in Zhong Yao's opinion, they seem to be very heavy.
this…
Now, not only Zhong Yao was stunned, but even Cai Zhaoji was stunned. She looked back at Zhong Yao and looked at him with a puzzled look when she saw him.
It seems like a soul question is asking - who am I? Where am I from? Where am I going?
Cai Zhaoji shook her head. What did Brother Yu think? She is a sister who can't understand at all.
"Then...whether of my brother?" Cai Zhaoji continued, "He hasn't returned home for three consecutive days? Where has he been during this period?"
Hmm...
Bluffing out these words, Xiaohuangmen's eyes turned, and his expression looked a little surprised.
"Miss Zhaoji doesn't know this?"
He scratched his head and said aloud: "Young Master Lu followed Cao Sikong to fight for Xuzhou. He set out three days ago. I heard that the soldiers were only given three hours of preparation time and left that day, which was particularly urgent! As for other things,
...We don't know."
ah…
First there was a slight exclaim.
Immediately afterwards, the "pen" that Cai Zhaoji had originally held suddenly fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Suddenly, her attention turned completely from Zhong Yao to her younger brother.
"And...this is true again." Cai Zhaoji murmured in her heart... "Every time, I go far, don't you even say a word of hello?"
Seeing Cai Zhaoji's expression suddenly change, the maid serving on the side asked repeatedly: "Cai...Miss Cai, are you still... serving tea? The auspicious time... it's already here!"
call…
Exhausted gently, Cai Zhaoji spread his hands helplessly, "Tao tea, of course I have to serve tea. Brother Yu is not here, why are I wronged? I am the sister of me. They are obviously two girls, but I have just entered the Si Nong Mansion.
I'll be alone in the empty room for a while!"
Speaking of this, Cai Zhaoji bit her red lips with her teeth, as if she was angry for Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao...
In fact, she was still angry herself and angry with her younger brother!
"Oh, Brother Yu is not here, so my sister has to treat them more for you!"
Thinking of this...
Cai Zhaoji raised her eyes and she first looked at Zhong Yao. "Senior Brother, since it is my younger brother's recommendation, I believe... There must be a place that my younger brother values, and that I can complete this Guanzhong task, so I will be in danger of going to Guanzhong.
It's the land, be careful!"
"Oh..." Zhong Yao bowed, "I haven't thanked Lu Siong for his recommendation yet, and I'm so kind to support me!"
Zhong Yao said this from the heart.
Although he is a great calligrapher, he has always liked excitement in his life. In the past, he repeatedly mediated between Li Jue, Guo Si and the Hanting, and that excitement was what he yearned for.
Is there anything more challenging and exciting to go to Guanzhong now to this tiger and wolf den?
Zhong Yao yearns for it!
After talking about Zhong Yao’s affairs.
Cai Zhaoji looked at the maid again. "I prepared a simple single dress for Sister Big Qiao and Sister Xiao Qiao? Are you ready?"
"It's ready!" the maid answered quickly.
The plain yarn single-clothing is an extremely precious women's clothing in the Han Dynasty. It is known as being as thin as a cicada's wing and light as smoke. To put it bluntly, it is transparent.
Of course, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao like this simple yarn-only dress, Cai Zhaoji doesn’t care!
But Yudi must like this pair of sisters when they wear it, that's enough.
It's just a pity...
This plain tiara single dress is ready, and the beauty is ready, but... the male owner slipped away. It's a pity, not only a pity, but also annoying!
This brother Yu is becoming more and more distorted.
…
…
On the official road leading to Xiapi City.
"Da da da..."
The sound of horse hooves kept resounding.
Even if it was a starry night, Lu Bu was still unable to catch up with the time when he attacked Xiaopei on November 11th.
However, it is acceptable.
Liu Bei was not that genius, and Lu Bu was not as strong as he could swallow Liu Bei within one day.
The current situation is just right, and Lu Bu and Liu Bei are in a strategic stalemate. Lu Bu attacked the city several times but did not capture Xiao Pei. Both sides were seriously injured.
And these, in Cao Cao's opinion, are welcome to hear them.
The carriage was a little bumpy, but Cao Cao and Lu Yu were still talking and laughing, talking nonsense.
"Lu Sinnong, you just mentioned that Lu Bu will betray everyone? How can you tell me?"
Cao Cao asked Lu Yu...
Lu Yu replied with a smile: "Cao Sikong probably doesn't know what happened to Lu Bu and his generals recently, right?"
"It's about a portion of wine and meat, but this portion of wine and meat is enough to make the generals under Lu Bu's command unfaithful to him!"
Hmm...
A portion of wine and meat? Being free from virtue!
This topic led to Cao Cao's curiosity. "Lu Siyuan might as well talk about how this portion of wine and meat will make Lu Bu and his generals disagree with each other?"
That's it...
Lu Yu blinked his eyes and explained in detail. "Among the eight powerful generals under Lu Bu's command, one of the generals named Hou Cheng, and a disciple of Hou Cheng stole his fifteen horses and tried to present them to Liu Bei, and surrendered to Liu Bei,
After Hou Cheng found out, he immediately chased him, so he even chased him back with his men and horses!"
Hey...Isn't this good?
Is it a normal thing?
The soldiers who are fighting in the iron camp... The soldiers are so rebellious, it seems nothing is there, right?
Cao Cao raised his eyes slightly, and before he could think about it, Lu Yu's voice continued, and the story had just begun.
"The horse was lost and was found. No matter how you look at it, it should be a happy thing for everyone. All the soldiers went to congratulate Hou Cheng. In order to thank everyone for their kindness, Hou Cheng was not allowed to hold a banquet at all!
But because of insufficient food supply in Xiapi City, Lu Bu issued a ban on alcohol!”
this…
Cao Cao seemed to have figured out some of the smell.
Lu Yu's words continued. "Everyone's kindness cannot be let down, and he dare not disobey the ban on alcohol. Hou Cheng was in trouble, so he thought of a way, personally brought five dou of wine and half a pig to visit Lu Bu, and prepared a
There were a lot of rhetoric saying that they had only recovered the lost horses with the power of Wen Hou. Everyone came to celebrate, but everyone didn't dare to drink, so they first presented the most mellow wine to the general who admired the most!
”
Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes rolled. "If this happened to me, I waved my hand and made Hou Cheng promise this time. He wouldn't drink every day, and it was understandable that it was not a big deal.
Something is right!"
Cao Cao's tone was quite heroic.
It is true that he can't rub sand in his eyes when it comes to big things, but he never calls him Zhen'er in small things.
This matter is not a big deal, right?
Didn't you ever think...
Lu Yu's next words shocked Cao Cao directly.
"Cao Sikong's handling method is very appropriate!"
"But Lu Bu, haha... Cao Sikong might as well guess how Lu Bu handled this matter? He just needs to talk about it carefully, and he will laugh out loud!"
"He Lu Bu seems to be extremely good at digging his own grave!"
