Chapter 554 My intuition about women has always been accurate!
There is a large table placed in the courtyard of Qinzhai.
Cao Cao and Xun Yu were kneeling on one side of the table, and Cai Zhaoji was sitting on the other side, habitually reaching out to arrange the musical instruments on the table.
In the courtyard, orchids bloom and birds sing, creating a splendid scene.
call…
Cao Cao took a deep breath and finally said what he wanted to say.
"Xianmei, Xiliang Ma Teng wrote to Zhong Yao, the minister of Dali Temple, asking him to arrange a marriage for the Ma family in Fufeng Maoling!"
The words came out of my mouth...
Cai Zhaoji was startled. She subconsciously thought that Ma Teng wanted to ask Cai Zhaoji to be his wife on behalf of her son?
How can this be done?
"Brother, the "Book of the Later Han" has not been compiled yet, Cai Yan has not yet fulfilled his father's great ambitions, and many matters of the Imperial Academy cannot be separated from me. I'm afraid..."
Cai Zhaoji opened her mouth.
As soon as he spoke like this, Cao Cao could tell that this wise girl had misunderstood.
He turned his head and looked at Xun Yu.
Xun Yu knew what Cao Cao meant and spoke at the right time. "It's not Chief Cai, it's White Horse Marquis Lu Ziyu!"
ah…
ah…
At first, when Cai Zhaoji heard that it was not her, she still breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if it was one of her disciples, it would be okay for her to persuade him.
Can…
Brother Yu?
Cai Zhaoji frowned slightly.
"Are you kidding me, Xun Lingjun? Brother Yu has a family and two wives. This is a matter that everyone in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty knows. How could the Ma family of Fufeng Maoling ask his senior brother to match him?"
The senior brother Cai Zhaoji refers to is naturally "Zhong Yao". Zhong Yao studied under Cai Yong, and he and Cai Zhaoji are brother and sister. He also served as the Sili school captain and supervised the affairs of Guanzhong, so he also has a relationship with Ma Teng.
Extremely close.
When Ma Teng wanted to arrange a marriage, he would naturally think of Zhong Yao.
When talking about this, Xun Yu and Zhong Yao looked at each other, and Xun Yu opened his mouth and said: "In Guanzhong, Ma Teng has three sons and one daughter, the eldest son Ma Chao, the second son Ma Xiu, the third son Ma Tie, and the daughter is Ma Yun, the princess of Fufeng.
Lu, this time Ma Teng asked Qing Zhongsi to arrange the marriage between his precious daughter, Ma Yunlu, the princess of Xiliang, and Miss Cai’s brother Lu Ziyu!"
Ah...ah...
Hearing this, Cai Zhaoji opened her eyes wide with an expression of complete surprise and disbelief.
Why...it's Brother Yu again?
It seems... whenever there is some power, Brother Yu can always be thought of for marriage!
However, Brother Yu now has two wives. According to the identity and dependence of Ma Teng's daughter Ma Yunlu, if she marries Brother Yu, she will definitely not be a concubine?
Two ladies from this Hou family are outrageous enough, but now it’s better to just have three ladies from one Hou family!
How many wives will Brother Yu marry in this life?
"Xun Lingjun is not joking?"
There was an inexplicable emotion in Cai Zhaoji's heart, but she still didn't want to believe it.
It seems... I don't know when she started to worry about Brother Yu's gains and losses.
Maybe... maybe it's because on the night of Brother Yu's wedding, what happened between them was like a secret in a dream!
"Gudong!"
Cai Zhaoji swallowed, biting her lip with her teeth... but her face turned a little red inexplicably.
Xun Yu didn't understand why.
Cao Cao knew it all too well. Although he kept calling Cai Yan a "virtuous sister", in fact, she was his daughter-in-law!
But...
Cao Cao shook his head lightly. He also obeyed his Yu'er, and with his own efforts, he confused everyone's seniority to such an extent!
"General Manager Cai knows Xun. Xun is not someone who often makes jokes!"
Xun Yu was serious.
Cao Cao added: "Xianmei is not an outsider. Let me tell you the truth. Now that the northern border has been restored, the next thing to do is to go south to Jingzhou. If you want to go south, you must appease the situation in Guanzhong, appease Guanzhong, and support the people of Maoling.
Ma’s family is the top priority!”
"I originally wanted to invite Ma Teng to the capital, and even promised him the high title of Weiwei, one of the 'Nine Lords', but... Ma Teng proposed that his daughter Ma Yunlu be married to Yu'er!"
Cao Cao is just telling the facts...
He didn't need to explain too much to Cai Yan. Cai Yan was enough to understand and know his painstaking efforts!
This wise girl has always understood the general situation and taken the overall situation into consideration!
Even if it means letting the man she loves get another wife.
It's just...Cao Cao can somewhat understand the pain here!
this…
Cai Zhaoji stood up slowly, took a deep breath, straightened her messy hair, and stared at the orchids in the courtyard!
The dawn is bright and the birds are chirping...
But "Orchid" always seems to be making wedding dresses for others, Qiao doesn't compete for spring, she just repays the coming of spring...
All the peach blossoms were given to others, and she had nothing herself.
A breeze blew into the yard, and Cai Zhaoji smelled the fragrance of orchids, and her mood was like her nickname "Lan'er"...
Flowers are like people, but orchids are not fashionable and do not compete with other flowers for favor...
Perhaps, this is the most true portrayal of her life.
Finally, after a long time, Cai Zhaoji said "Oh" in her heart, adjusted her mood, and faced Cao Cao and Xun Yu again.
"I understand what my brother told Mr. Xun Ling."
"Brother Yu, I'll go talk to him!"
His white teeth opened slightly, and his words contained endless compromise and helplessness!
…
…
Jiangdong, winter solstice.
At this moment, a high platform rises from the ground, located along the Yangtze River.
Not far from Wu County, the lights are brightly lit at the moment!
The cold wind was biting, and the big flag with the word "Lu" on the high platform was blowing loudly.
A banquet had already been set up under the high platform, but none of the officials took their seats. They all stood at attention and waited.
Behind them are more than 70,000 Lu Jiajun!
The momentum is overwhelming!
Everyone turned their attention to the high platform. It was only at this time that everyone realized that the Lu family, a declining clan, had risen rapidly in just a few years, and even now... the banner with the word "Lu" has become the link that maintains the entire family.
The souls of half of Jiangdong’s soldiers!
finally…
Lu Xun appeared on the high platform wearing a cloak and walking like a dragon and a tiger. Sun Yi had already been standing on the high platform waiting for him!
When the officials and soldiers standing in awe saw Lu Xun standing proudly, they all held their hands.
Everyone shouted in unison.
"Meet the Governor!"
That's right... At this moment, on this high platform, under the eyes of all civil and military officials, Sun Yi gave Lu Xun the seal and ribbon that symbolized the highest military officer in Jiangdong, the "Military and Horse Left Commander".
Lu Xun held up the seal ribbon with both hands!
The 70,000 Lu Jiajun in the audience immediately shouted.
"Grand Governor!"
"Grand Governor!"
One sound is louder than the other, and each sound is more harmonious than the other!
This wave of noise is so overwhelming!
Lu Xun's voice rose at the right time.
"At the end of the day, General Lu Xun took Shanyue and settled Jiangdong. Such achievements are all due to the support of the lord. Today, the lord has given me the official title of Jiangdong Left Governor. I am honored! The Lu family army will defend Jiangdong to the death!"
Speaking of this, Lu Xun paused and raised his tone again.
"On this occasion of the winter solstice, I follow the orders of my lord to have fun with all the soldiers! Serve wine and play music!"
All of a sudden, the drums and music sounded!
Countless Koto dancers with waists as thin as willow trees... danced gracefully on this high platform.
seem…
Jiangdong civil and military officials, Jiangdong soldiers...everyone was overjoyed because Lu Xun was awarded the title of "Grand Governor"!
certainly…
Lu Xun deserves this honor!
You know, the Shanyue Rebellion that had plagued Jiangdong for more than ten years came to an end in his hands!
Today, the Lu family has become the head of the eight major families in Jiangdong!
On the other hand, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su in the audience were looking at the high platform with extremely complicated emotions.
"Gong Jin? This Jiangdong military commander should be yours!" Sun Quan sighed with emotion.
Lu Su also echoed in a low voice: "It took Gong Jin a full year to kill Huang Zu, but Lu Xun gathered 50,000 strong Shanyue in one month! Is this a coincidence?"
call…
Zhou Yu breathed softly, "Maybe, right..."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the high-spirited Lu Xun on the high platform, and hummed softly.
"Now, these are not important. The most urgent thing we need to consider is how to resist Cao Cao from the north. As long as the Lu Jiajun is on Jiangdong's side on this issue! Everything can be discussed!"
Historically, the real Zhou Yu was not a person of "jealousy of talents and talents"!
In history, the most authentic Zhou Yu can be worthy of the name "unparalleled national scholar!"
On the other hand, Lu Xun, who was on the high stage at this moment, seemed to have noticed Zhou Yu and others below the stage...
The corners of his mouth widened, and a joyful smile suddenly appeared.
Did it!
With his brother's help, he... Lu Xun did it!
…
…
During the Winter Solstice Festival in Jingzhou, there are an endless stream of cars and BMWs on the streets. From time to time, bursts of laughter from girls can be heard, beauties and celebrities are secretly looking at each other, and the spring breeze fills the road.
At this moment, in the Yanque Tower, countless celebrities from Jingxiang and Xiang gathered here.
Today is the winter solstice, which is an extremely important festival. After groups of people offering sacrifices, it is natural for three or five friends to go to the wine shop to have a chat.
Therefore, the whole street was very lively.
However, this Yanque Tower is a gathering place for famous celebrities in Jingxiang. Ordinary people may not be able to enter without being recommended.
"Sir? In such streets and alleys? How to find the target?"
Beside Yang Xiu, a close servant asked in a low voice.
As Yang Xiu answered, his eyes kept glancing in all directions, as if he was still looking for something, "Zhulong's letter named her, and that woman secretly came to Yanque Tower. It must not be an upright thing!"
"For this reason, she would never dare to ride in a luxurious carriage with great fanfare. In order to hide her eyes from others, she might ride in an inconspicuous carriage. But she has a noble status and must cherish cleanliness very much. As long as she finds such a low-key and clean carriage
The carriage is eight, nine and ten!"
Speaking of which…
"Sir, look..."
The trusted servant followed Yang Xiu's instructions and noticed an extremely ordinary carriage among the crowd.
Although ordinary, the entire carriage is extremely clean, but few people will observe it carefully!
Yang Xiu also noticed the carriage. Looking through the curtain, he saw a well-groomed woman.
Immediately, Yang Xiu passed by the carriage without missing a beat. Just as he was crossing the horse, a silver needle leaked out of his sleeve and pierced the horse's thigh with a "whoosh".
"Definitely..."
The horse was indeed frightened. It let out its front hooves and neighed, then ran and jumped. People screamed and hurriedly got out of the way. Someone had already been knocked down, and there was chaos on the field.
The driver was thrown away, and the woman in the carriage screamed in surprise. She tried hard to touch the reins, but she was about to be thrown off. The situation was critical!
Yang Xiu smiled slightly, took a few lunges, and immediately jumped onto the frightened horse. He tightened the reins hard, causing the horse to spin in circles several times. Yang Xiu patted the horse's neck and gently comforted it, finally letting it go.
Calmed down.
Yang Xiu turned over and dismounted, and the lady in the carriage was also shocked...
But when she saw Yang Xiu, the noble and Tsinghua spirit of the young master in front of her immediately attracted him, and she blushed inexplicably.
"Thank you, sir."
The woman chanted.
Yang Xiu was also observing her, yes, it was her, it was her, it was her, the eldest daughter of Cai family in Jingzhou, Cai family, wife of Liu Jingsheng!
Yang Xiu held up his hand and said, "Fortunately, no one was hurt. Madam, you should be more cautious next time you ride in a carriage."
Mrs. Cai pursed her lips and smiled. "I rarely ride this carriage, but I don't know why the horse was frightened."
It seemed that Jingju had said too much. Seeing that the groom and the maid had returned, Mrs. Cai closed the curtain. "Thank you very much, sir. I'll take my leave now!"
She did not forget to take another look at Yang Xiu from the window.
"Da da..."
The carriage went further and further away.
Yang Xiu squinted at the carriage...
Servants from the side came over.
Yang Xiu sighed in a low voice: "Zhulong is right, this woman is weird!"
"How did the young master know that she was weird?" the servant asked curiously.
"Intuition!" Yang Xiu said softly: "My intuition about women has always been very accurate."
The words just fell.
"Son..."
A maidservant slowly walked up to Yang Xiu. "My wife invites the young master to go to Yanque Tower for a talk!"
Huh...Yang Xiu was surprised.
He was thinking about how to follow Mrs. Cai and sneak into the Yanque Tower where celebrities gathered!
It's better now, this is an unexpected surprise!
"Thank you madam, I'd rather be respectful than obey my orders!"
…
…
Jingzhou, Xinye City.
A hotel…
From a distance, I could hear the conversation of two young men. Both of them were handsome, and one of them was holding a feather fan, shaking it from time to time.
"Excuse me, sir, which military book is this?"
"Liuhe Formation!"
"Is it impossible? This military book has disappeared from the world for more than five hundred years. Rumor has it that he was buried in a grave by King Xiang of Chu! He was buried for his father. What a pity!"
"Yes, the Liuhe Formation is indeed buried in the tomb of King Chu, but in the next few hundred years, will it be dug out by tomb robbers, will it live in the streets and bookstores, and will it be used by a certain prince?
, bought it for thousands of gold and hid it in this high-rise and dangerous pavilion!"
Speaking of which…
A young man winked lightly, and the ladder connecting the first and second floors was pulled down.
Never thought that it would be at this moment.
With a "dong" sound, one young master knelt down to the other young master.
"Sir, save me"
Yes, the young master kneeling on the ground is Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou. As for the other young master holding a feather fan, it is Zhuge Kongming!
"Master, why are you like this?"
"I have something to say first. If I talk about your father's illness or the dispute between the princes in Jingzhou, I dare not discuss it. I will leave immediately."
"Sir... there is no sky above, no earth below, no outsiders. Whatever you say, God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know, no third person will know!"
It seems... Zhuge Liang can't shirk it.
Liu Qi had a conversation with Zhuge Liang and explained his precarious situation to each other.
Zhuge Liang acted realistically.
Finally, he said with sincerity and emotion: "Master, you must still remember the story of brothers Chong'er and Shen Sheng back then? Duke Xian of Jin believed in the slander and wanted to kill his sons. Shen Sheng stayed in the capital, but disaster fell from the sky, and Chong'er fled.
Safe and sound at last!”
Zhuge Liang meant something else...
Chong'er and Shen Sheng were the two sons of Duke Xian of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period. Later, Duke Xian of Jin doted on his concubine Li Ji. Li Ji gave birth to a son and wanted her son to become the crown prince. Duke Xiang of Jin was confused and listened to Li Ji's words and began to treat Shen Sheng.
Start with Chong'er.
At that time, Shen Sheng was the prince, so he chose to stay and die to prove his innocence!
But his younger brother Chong'er chose to flee to avoid trouble, and returned home many years later and became a new generation of monarchs, the famous Duke Wen of Jin.
This story illustrates a truth...
At a time when political competition is fierce, whoever stays in the imperial capital will die, and whoever escapes will have a bright future!
It seemed that... he was worried that Liu Qi wouldn't understand.
Zhuge Liang added more seriousness to his words.
"Sir, although your father is the shepherd of Jingzhou, the military power of the entire Jingxiang is in the hands of the Cai family. If you want to survive, you'd better fulfill Cai Mao's wish, leave Jingzhou, and ask for orders to garrison Jiangxia!"
"After Huangzu was destroyed by Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, Jiangxia was in need of a governor and the Huang family navy was in need of a commander. It's the right time for you to go there!"
"Jiangxia is an important town in Jingxiang. There are tens of thousands of troops stationed there, and there are countless supplies and weapons. You are stationed in Jiangxia, but you can keep an eye on Jingzhou. If you join forces with my lord, if Cai Mao dares to act rashly, he will take care of it.
, This is the strategy of using the far to control the near."
call…
Hear it here!
With a "click" sound, Liu Qi knelt down to Zhuge Liang. "Thank you, sir, for your advice!"
After walking out of the post house, you will reach the Yangtze River out of the South City Gate. At this moment, Liu Bei has already been waiting for Zhuge Liang along the Yangtze River.
Seeing him walking out, Liu Bei hurriedly greeted him.
"gentlemen…"
Zhuge Liang waved his hand gently, signaling Liu Bei not to speak.
"Master Qi has been deployed here! He will ask for orders to garrison Jiangxia."
"Next, let's look at Zilong. This lady from the Cai family is the key to the Lord's defeat!"
"I hope everything goes well with Zilong and they can get the evidence of this woman! Use this as a blackmail!"
Speaking of which…
Liu Bei raised his eyes, "If Kong Ming arranges it like this, then Jingzhou will fall into the hands of Young Master Liu Qi!"
Such a sentence... There was a hint of sadness and regret in Liu Bei's words.
"My lord..." Zhuge Liang's words were true to his heart. "I have some knowledge of medicine, and I just looked at Young Master Qi's complexion. He is not a long-lived person. If Jingzhou falls into the hands of Young Master Qi, it will be like falling into the hands of the Lord! Don't worry, Lord."
!If the world is divided into three parts, the Lord should take one part!"
The vast river is still surging.
The two people on the river ran into the strong wind of Jingxiang!
