There were wine bottles on the table, and Yang Xiu was singing with chopsticks.
"Abandoning one's body at the edge of a knife, how can one's life be safe? If parents don't care, what will happen to one's son and wife? Names should be compiled into a list of strong men, and one must not care about personal gain. Sacrifice one's life to go to the national disaster, and regard death as a sudden return home."
This should have been a majestic and high-spirited song, but for some reason at this time, it showed the sadness and desolation of the end of the world... Yang Xiu sang absently, holding the wine in his hand but not drinking it, and the image of his old father flashed through his mind. He
The circles under his eyes slowly turned red and he stopped singing...
Until the song ended, Yang Xiu stared at Cao Zhi sitting on the other side... and said nothing for a while.
hehe…
After a long time, Yang Xiu smiled slightly and said loudly: "Among Zijian's many poems, the one I like the most is the "White Horse". It is heart-touching and heart-touching... It does not coincide with my current state of mind.
And together!"
Cao Zhi sighed: "Why did Dezu spread the rumor that his brother personally conquered Guan Yu?"
Yang Xiu's expression was rare sincerity, as if he was resigned to death: "True, true, false, false, true, once... During the Battle of Wancheng, when Cao Anmin was imprisoned by your father, who would
You will know...this is exactly the best arrangement for him!"
Cao Zhi smiled miserably: "This is the first time that my brother has personally coordinated the deployment of troops and horses. Dezu is doing this... It offends him. In order to maintain military discipline, Your Majesty will definitely punish you severely!"
Yang Xiu's eyes turned red, "The black in front of you may not be black... Besides, a person only has one youth. Once upon a time... Yang Xiu, who was so talented and arrogant in the Imperial Academy, has died. Now the one left behind should do something better."
Meaningful things, there is no turning back in life, there is no room for regret. My mentor chose to let me join the army and take charge of the military department of the school affairs office. I must leave some traces and let the future achievements of the Wei Dynasty be included in the list.
Leave my name!"
Cao Zhi was confused: "But...doing this will implicate your family!"
Yang Xiu sighed: "Hahaha... The famous Sima family in Hanoi disappeared from this world overnight? What about the Hongnong Yang family, the fourth generation and the three princes? Now it is the Wei Dynasty that is about to dominate the world, not the Han Dynasty... What's more,
Zijian is also a disciple of his mentor, so he should trust his mentor. Others cannot see through this situation, but his mentor must see it clearly!"
As soon as I finished speaking...
The sound of "treading" footsteps was heard outside the tent, and a group of soldiers broke in. The leader, Cao Xiu, cupped his hands and said: "Master Zijian, by your Majesty's order, we are going to capture the military commander Yang Caoyu!"
Yang Xiu was picked up by the soldiers, and he deliberately shouted at the top of his voice: "What crime am I guilty of?"
Cao Zhi also hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Wen Lie? But Dezu spread rumors about His Majesty's personal conquest?"
Cao Xiu did not explain, but replied coldly: "I was just ordered to arrest him. The rest, Mr. Jian, should go ask your majesty! Someone, take them away..."
While talking...the soldiers twisted Yang Xiu out.
Cao Zhi was going to chase...
To confuse the military and spread rumors...
This crime is not a small one, the lighter one can be punished by dozens of people, and the more serious one can be... the leader of the camp, to serve as a warning to others.
But as soon as Cao Zhi took a step, he was suddenly grabbed by an arm. Cao Zhi raised his head... Besides Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, who else could appear in front of him?
Even though Guo Jiawen was weak, at this moment... his hands were like a vise, and Cao Zhi couldn't break free even though he tried hard.
Guo Jia advised: "Zijian, if I were you, I wouldn't wade into this muddy water!"
"But..." Cao Zhi's eyes were filled with tears. He and Yang Xiu had always been good friends, how could he just watch him...
"Zijian." Guo Jia's hand did not loosen at all. He squinted... "If you don't believe Yang Dezu, then at least you should believe in His Majesty!"
this…
Because of Guo Jia's words, Cao Zhi sat there in a daze, biting his lip with his teeth.
At this moment, what he thought of was what Yang Dezu mentioned just now, "True is true, false is false, false is false, true is true..." and the sentence "The black in front of you is not black!"
So...where is the light?
With this in mind, Cao Zhi read aloud: "Abandoning your body to sew at the edge of a knife, will your life be safe?"
…
…
——To confuse the morale of the army, the military stick is eighty, and it will be executed immediately!
"Pa bang bang..."
Outside the camp, in full view of everyone, Yang Xiu was pushed to the ground... without eighty military sticks, only... thirty military sticks, and he fainted.
Cao Xiu was afraid that he had really beaten to death this direct disciple of His Majesty, so he hurriedly went to report it, but Lu Yu's words were extremely firm.
--continue!
Snap!
After splashing water on Yang Xiu to wake him up, and another thirty army sticks, almost half of Yang Xiu's life had been given.
But even so, the last twenty army sticks still fell as scheduled...
Fortunately, Cao Xiu privately ordered the execution of the soldiers, otherwise... these eighty sticks would be enough to kill Yang Xiu!
Chinese military tent...
Many people interceded for Yang Xiu.
"Your Majesty, what crime did Yang Caopu commit?"
Lu Yu asked seriously: "The news that I personally conquered Guan Yu spread a lot in the army. It was spread by Yang Dezu. We, the Wei Dynasty, always have clear rewards and punishments. If he makes a mistake, he should receive this punishment. Not only him...his family must also
Implicated in this!"
Lu Yu waved his hand, "Pass on my decree to arrest all the Yang clan members of Hongnong and put them in prison until I return to the court in triumph!"
"Here!" Dian Wei on the side accepted the order with his hands raised.
Everyone retreats...
At this time, Lu Yu was the only one left in the huge Chinese army tent. Outside the tent...the sound of military sticks crackling at the camp door was like being hit on Lu Yu's body.
at this time…
Cheng Yu slowly walked into the tent.
He noticed Lu Yu's expression, "Is Your Majesty feeling sentimental?"
"No!" Lu Yu slightly restrained his facial expression, his hands trembled slightly, and You Zi sighed: "I didn't expect that Yang Dezu could be so persistent and so formidable!"
Cheng Yu cupped his hands with a look of respect on his face. "Your Majesty's ministers are here... I'm afraid it's not for Yang Dezu!"
"Ha..." After saying this, Lu Yu smiled, but just for a moment, Lu Yu's expression became serious... "The trap has been laid, we just wait for the bait to be hooked, but..."
Lu Yu pulled Cheng Yu to his side, "General Cheng Zhong, what others say about Jingzhou... I can't believe it, you have to go this time."
this…
With just one word from Lu Yu, Cheng Yu's expression became meticulous. He seemed to recall his actions in the past ten years when he went deep behind enemy lines to persuade the enemy to surrender...
Reminiscing about the glorious past.
As I get older, many times I live by those beautiful memories...
Now, Cheng Yu was entrusted with an important task again, which made Cheng Yu's mood become excited instantly.
"Does Your Majesty want me to persuade Guan Yu to surrender?" Cheng Yu asked.
"No..." Lu Yu shook his head, "Liu, Guan, and Zhang Taoyuan are sworn brothers. They are sworn to Jinlan. It is impossible to betray them. However...this time, Mi Fang, Meng Da, and Liu Feng, who Liu Bei sent to Jingzhou to assist Guan Yu... can all take advantage of them.
machine!"
Well…
Hearing these three names, Cheng Yu subconsciously felt that something was wrong...
Not to mention that Meng Da was an important minister in Shu. When he welcomed Liu Bei to Shu, he almost made the first contribution and devoted himself to it...
And Liu Feng and Mi Fang were even less likely to surrender.
One of them is Liu Bei's adopted son.
Liu "Feng", Liu "Chan", one of the Feng-Chan combinations.
The other one...his sister is Liu Bei's concubine...the Mi family even invested the entire family's wealth in Liu Bei when Liu Bei was in control of Xuzhou.
These three people can be called "die loyal"!
It is impossible to sow discord, let alone persuade them to surrender.
Cheng Yu wanted to express his doubts, but... in the end, Cheng Yu swallowed all the words he wanted to say.
He felt...he should be like his old self, putting the word "courage" on his forehead and never look back!
What's more...
Wasn't it always like this when he went on a mission?
Which one has a face of surrender?
"General Cheng Zhonglang, don't you have anything to ask?"
"Since it is your Majesty's arrangement, your Majesty must have made a complete plan. If your Majesty wants to tell me, I will just listen... If your majesty doesn't want to tell me, I will leave immediately..." Cheng Yu's tone was quite firm.
Lu Yu nodded slightly and patted his shoulder.
--"Bon Voyage!"
——"Wishing General Cheng Zhonglang a triumphant return!"
…
…
Shuzhong, Zitong.
Liu Bei was staring at the map in a daze, when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and it was Li Yan who opened the curtain and strode in.
He raised his hands seriously and said: "Your Majesty, I am reporting according to the details. Yang Xiu spread rumors that Cao Yu personally conquered Jingzhou, and was severely punished by Cao Yu. He was given an eighty-point military stick and was dying!"
Well…
Liu Bei squinted his eyes and turned around, "This Yang Dezu is Cao Yu's direct disciple, with an eighty army stick. The punishment this time is not light!"
"This is a punishment on the surface...but..." Li Yan changed the topic. "I feel that this punishment for Yang Xiu...was specially done by Cao Yu to His Majesty.
Next page! Current page 1 / 2 pages in total
I’ll watch it with my senior minister.”
Liu Bei's eyes were fixed, "How do you say this?"
"Isn't Cao Yu's best at attacking the heart..." Li Yan explained: "Now, General Guan and His Majesty's troops left Sichuan and Shu in two groups. General Guan flooded Jiangling and led the war to Jingzhou in one go. This must have happened.
It exceeded Cao Ziyu's expectations...and Cao Ziyu must have wanted to personally conquer it, but he didn't want Yang Xiu to talk loudly and let the matter leak out, so...he punished Yang Xiu severely! What's the purpose..."
Before Li Yan could finish speaking, Liu Bei said first, "The purpose is the fact that Cao Yu is going to Jingzhou!"
"Exactly!" Li Yan looked very excited... "The more he punished Yang Xiu, the more he showed his guilty conscience, and the more he created the illusion that he would not go to Jingzhou, otherwise... he could just punish this kind of thing in private
, how could it make people panic? I heard that Yang Xiu was beaten with military sticks at the camp gate in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he almost lost his life there!"
Li Yan showed a confident look...
He seemed to have seen through everything, Cao Yu...and his method of attacking the heart.
For a moment, Liu Bei closed his eyes and fell into a long meditation.
Over the years...he has suffered too much from Liu Yu.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Bei and the ministers of Bashu will deliberately imitate Cao Yu's previous arrangements that put him to death time and time again. It is precisely because of carefully recounting those events in the past that Liu Bei and the Manchu Dynasty of Bashu
All the officials realized that Cao Yu was never simple, and his behavior on the surface was probably to hide a huge conspiracy!
"I see…"
After a long time, Liu Bei murmured and said with emotion: "If it weren't for Li Shangshu, I would have been deceived by Cao Yu again this time, but...since our army is sure that Cao Yu is going to conquer his second brother's side personally, then according to Li Shangshu, it should be
How to deal with it?”
"Accelerate the Northern Expedition on the Shu Road..." Li Yan blurted out. He had prepared these words for a long time. "Now in the entire Wei Dynasty, Cao Yu is the only one your Majesty and his ministers are worried about. If he leaves the Shu Road, what will happen to the Shu Road?"
The three armies of the Northern Expedition can all advance together, so that Cao Yu can't look at each other! As for..."
Li Yan's eyes turned to the direction of Jingzhou on the map, "Haha... Jingzhou is more than a thousand miles away from Hanzhong. It would take more than a month for Cao Yu to arrive, no matter how fast he rode. And in the meantime... the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou is just a relative with no ability.
Your Majesty can send an urgent edict to General Guan, asking him to immediately launch a northern expedition to Xiangfan. When Xiangfan falls into the hands of General Guan, at that time, your Majesty can rush out of Shu Road, and General Guan can also go north to Jingzhou... In this way... General Wei
The situation is extremely dangerous. Even if the Northern Expedition is blocked, your Majesty can use the Yangtze River as a line to capture Jingnan and Jiangdong, and rule from the north to the south. In this way... within ten years, your Majesty will be able to rival Cao Wei and dominate the world!"
Li Yan spoke every word, and every word he spoke was sonorous and powerful.
He had thought about these words for a long time this morning, and they were conclusive and well-founded...
Don't say...
Even Liu Bei was moved.
hiss…
Liu Bei chirped. He repeated Li Yan's words over and over again, and finally...he took Li Yan's hand.
"Getting Li Shangshu is like the Emperor Gaozu getting Zhang Zifang!"
When Liu Bei said this sentence, he didn't think of Zhuge Liang at all... He didn't even think of who had been working so hard for the past five years with the current military strength!
"Li Shangshu, if I defeat Cao Wei and unify the world, then you will be my most successful minister!"
He squeezed Li Yan's hand harder, and tears filled Liu Bei's eyes.
Li Yan held up his hand and said, "I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
…
…
Jingzhou, outside Fancheng, Guan Yu's camp.
At this time, outside the big tent, countless soldiers and armors were waiting in full formation, and the guards stood guardedly.
In the big tent, Guan Yu was sitting on the commander's seat. There was a scroll of "Spring and Autumn" on the desk in front of him. However, at this moment... Guan Yu had no time to pay attention to the "Spring and Autumn"...
No matter how vivid the story is, it cannot match the rapid changes in the battlefield situation.
"Your Majesty has issued an edict, so Cao Yu created a suspicious formation to cover up his purpose of personally conquering the monarch. The troops pointed directly at the monarch, but... Hanzhong is thousands of miles away from Jingzhou, and Cao Yu himself arrived a month later. Your Majesty asked you to
I will seize Xiangfan within one month and build a fortress... Wait until Cao Yu arrives and hold the city! Wait for your majesty's great victory on the Shu Road to echo the king's victory!"
The edict read by Ma Liang sketched out a beautiful picture for Guan Yu and the soldiers and horses in the meantime... to attack the Wei Dynasty in one go, and to achieve great achievements.
Guan Ping asked doubtfully...
"Your Majesty judged that because Cao Yu punished Yang Xiu, he would personally conquer Commander-in-Chief. Originally, this inference was enough, but the opponent is Cao Yu... Commander-in-Chief must be extremely cautious!"
Guan Ping's words fell...
Guan Yu's eyes turned to the soldier beside him.
The soldier understood and quickly reported: "According to the detailed information in Luoyang City, Cao Yu not only punished Yang Xiu, but also punished the entire Hongnong Yang family... and was imprisoned in the sky prison!"
Just as the soldier's report came down, another soldier said: "In addition, our army's detailed operations in Chang'an County... also discovered the carriage arriving from Hanzhong, and they just left for the east after a short supply!"
These two pieces of information came out...
Guan Yu added a little more trust, "If Cao Ziyu was the one who spread suspicion, why would he punish Yang Dezu with a military stick and punish the Yang family of Hongnong? And the cavalry heading from Hanzhong to Jingzhou, haha, except for him Cao Ziyu
Who else could it be?”
The words fell...
Guan Yu stood up suddenly, uncharacteristically, his everlasting paralyzed face... At this moment, his eyes shot out with murderous intent!
