Wang Kuang had no intention of intervening in the conflict between Wang Yu and Cheng Yu.
He is not a person without self-awareness, and he knows that his political strategy cannot be put on the stage, so he advocated relying on Yuan Shao and serving as a vanguard for Yuan Shao, just to find a backer.
It was precisely because of this that after returning to Mount Tai, he acquiesced to Wang Yu's arrangement, handed over military and political power, and set up an academy with his old friends and other trivial matters.
Zhang Miao and Yuan Shu's invitations, Cao Cao and Liu Dai's coercion and inducements have nothing to do with Lao Wang Kuang. What he has to do is to make the wedding go smoothly without causing any unpleasantness on the spot or affecting the atmosphere.
Things will be fine.
Seeing Wang Yu step forward as he was told, Wang Kuang cleared his throat and said in a mellow tone: "Go and greet your prime minister and take over my family affairs. Commander Xu will show you respect, and you will be the heir of your first concubine. If so, things will be normal."
This is an ancient ritual precept, and its general meaning is: Go, welcome your wife, inherit the affairs of my family's ancestral temple, try your best to guide her, respect women's ways, and inherit the inheritance from your ancestors. You must always do this and never slack off.
Wang Yu answered according to the lines he had memorized in advance: "No, I am afraid of being embarrassed, but I dare not forget my life." After saying that, he bowed and saluted, thanked his father for his instruction, turned around and went out to pick up his wife.
He left, but Cheng Yu's face had not calmed down yet. It was still changing from blue to white, just like his emotions of anger and confusion, which fluctuated.
Those who followed Wang Yu to welcome the bride were only some personal entourage. The guests all stayed where they were. Everyone who came had a clear-eyed look. Seeing Cheng Yu's expression in their eyes, everyone also had different expressions.
Zhang Miao and Yan Xiang, for example, both smiled proudly and looked forward with joy in their faces; others looked at each other with somewhat ambiguous expressions.
The war in Jingzhou is coming to an end. Unless Liu Biao suddenly gains courage and prepares to compete with Dong Zhuo for Nanyang, or Dong Zhuo doesn't care about lengthening the front and tries to expand southward, Jingzhou will return to peace before summer begins.
If nothing else goes wrong, the war in the second year of Chuping will start in Yuzhou, Hedong, and Hebei. Unless Wang Yu gets involved in Yanzhou, the situation in the Central Plains will become completely chaotic and no one can predict it.
ending.
For those princes who intend to fish in troubled waters or watch the fire from the other side, the situation will naturally become more chaotic. The conflict between Wang Yu and Cheng Yu is likely to herald the beginning of this Central Plains war. How can the princes interfere?
"Why is Zhongde angry?" However, not everyone was secretly happy. There were also people who were as worried as Cheng Yu. When Wang Yu's figure disappeared, someone walked up to Cheng Yu and asked in an unrelated manner.
Cheng Yu turned around and saw that the person speaking was none other than his good friend Wang Yu. This man was also from Dong'a and served as a chariot under Liu Dai's account. He had recommended Cheng Yu in front of Liu Dai earlier. Although he was declined by Cheng Yu,
This incident did not damage the friendship between the two.
Currently, Liu Dai and Cao Cao are on a united front regarding the Qingzhou issue. Therefore, they have a very close relationship both in public and in private.
"Shu Zi is so rebellious. I tried to persuade him with good words, but I didn't expect him to say something rude and sarcastic. It's really disgusting!" Although they have a good relationship, Cheng Yu still doesn't intend to say Wang Yu's last sarcastic words.
He came out and just walked him through vaguely.
That irony is so cruel. If Wang Yu really does not intend to march westward to Yanzhou, but he acts as if he is facing a formidable enemy, he will definitely become the laughing stock of the world; but if he pretends that this is not the case, what if the other party
really……
Cheng Yu's heart suddenly moved. He finally understood why Wang Yu had done this. The other party's purpose was to make his family suspicious. He did not dare to take it lightly until there was a clear military operation in Qingzhou.
Using one sentence to contain thousands of troops, this guy is really arrogant and has no regard for the heroes of Yanzhou. But having said that, he can't ignore it. The other party's actions are always unexpected. Who can guarantee that he is not hiding the truth?
Do we really want to take Dongjun?
For a moment, Cheng Yu was also confused and confused.
"Zhongde, Zhongde!" Wang Yu called out several times to attract Cheng Yu's attention to him. He didn't ask why his friend was distracted. He looked around for a while, and then lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Liu is also a little worried.
Now, Zhongde might as well go over the details together."
"Oh." Cheng Yu responded in a low voice, letting the eager whisper of his old friend echo in his ears, but it could not leave a trace in his heart. He seemed to have caught something, but it seemed that he was separated by a layer of mist.
He couldn't see clearly clearly, but there was only one thing that could be confirmed, and that was that the trip he took on by himself was wrong from the beginning.
There was no one else around, so Wang Yu spoke very enthusiastically.
In the past, even if Cheng Yu disapproved, he would have pointed out the loopholes in the other party's plan with a smile on his face, and then corrected them one by one at the other party's request. Depending on the other party's sincerity, he would have decided whether to give further reminders.
But today, he suddenly felt a little tired. He didn't know whether it was because he was too angry to concentrate, or because he had figured something out and encountered some kind of bottleneck, so he felt uneasy. In short, Wang Yu
The things he said were completely incapable of getting him into it.
Perhaps, I have realized in my heart that those combined vertical and horizontal strategies are impossible to succeed, right?
Yes, that’s right!
Thinking of this, Cheng Yu's eyes suddenly froze. He figured it out. He finally knew what Wang Yu had planned!
"Brother Wenyan, I will convey the words of Ambassador Liu to Duke Meng De. The military situation is like a raging fire. I will take the first step and leave here." After thinking about this, Cheng Yu did not hesitate, and immediately handed over to Wang Yu, confessed, and turned around.
Gone in a hurry.
"Zhongde, you..." Wang Yu was very surprised. He had clearly given a rough outline, but he hadn't even mentioned the most exciting part of the plan. Why did Cheng Zhongde...
"Cao Mengde doesn't know how to employ people, so why did he send this arrogant person to Mount Tai? Wang Pengju has a reputation for being arrogant. When these two people meet, they will be at odds with each other. How can they not argue? It's okay for him to leave, but
It is really unreasonable to ruin my lord’s major event.”
Wang Yu was so angry that he stamped his feet, but there was nothing he could do. By the time he figured out the reason, Cheng Yu had already gone far away, so he could only shake his head and let out a long sigh.
It was in sharp contrast to the other guests who were either gloating about their misfortune or looking at her with cold eyes.
…
"Cheng Yu is gone?" Taishan is Wang Yu's home base, so he is naturally very well-informed. Not long after Cheng Yu left home, Wang Yu got the news.
Gong Tian was very good at observing words and emotions. He saw the conflict between Wang Yu and Cheng Yu. When he saw Wang Yu frowning, he rushed to show his courtesy and said: "My lord, that thin bamboo pole was disrespectful to you first and started shooting in advance."
He slipped away, maybe there is something wrong in his mind, do you want your subordinates to catch up with him and make him..."
"Kill the messenger?" Wang Yu glanced at the fat man, with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. This fat man was very good at being a good person.
He was previously treated as a quartermaster and was left in charge of logistics, so he had no complaints. Now that he was entrusted with the important task, he did not get carried away. In weddings in this era, there was no such thing as a best man. The people who followed the bride were all attendants, but he did not demean himself and licked
He squeezed in with a straight face.
There was no emotion or anger on Wang Yu's face. In line with the principle of sharing the burden with the Lord, Gong Tian still had the courage to put forward an opinion that was very suitable for his status: "Of course not on our ground, over there in Jibei Kingdom
The chaos is terrible now, if any bandits don't open their eyes, it will have nothing to do with you, my lord."
After thinking for a while, he added: "I have asked Zhang Shijun's entourage. Cheng Yu is very famous in Dongjun. Back then, he led a group of common people to take back Dong'a City from thousands of yellow scarf thieves.
! Even if such a person is not disrespectful to the Lord, killing him will be beneficial without any harm."
"You are thoughtful." Wang Yu smiled noncommittally and took the opportunity to kill Cao Cao. It sounds good, but is it necessary? Even if it is done secretly, can it be hidden from everyone in the world?
?
Before the fat man could put a smile on his face, Wang Yu's face suddenly became serious and he said in a cold voice: "If you have this intention, go to the East China Sea! Things like conspiracy can't be used anytime. Although Donghai's plan
It’s not very impressive, but after all, it relies on strength, do you understand?”
"Ming...understood."
Seeing the confused look on Fatty's face, Wang Yu had no intention of explaining.
When I leave the country and go north, the biggest threat to my hometown in Qingzhou is Cao Cao. If I can guarantee that everything will be safe, it is of course the best. However, if I want to maintain peace, relying on a piece of covenant will definitely not work. If I agree readily,
, will only make people feel that there is an opportunity, and will also annoy the two allies.
The best way to deal with this is to put on a tough stance and scare the surroundings, and then use a feint to impress the surrounding forces so that they don't dare to move lightly.
Qingzhou's strategy is to accumulate and develop, at least in the next two or three years, to maintain the situation in Hebei and not pose a threat. When farming, trade, and raising soldiers are all successful, it will be a matter of course for Qingzhou's troops to sweep the world.
Cao Cao may not be able to hide his intentions for too long, but Cheng Yu is a smart man, and he should be able to realize what he wants him to realize...
"Lord, Mr. Cai is coming out. It's time for you to get out of the car." As he was thinking about it, a low reminder came to his ears.
In Zhou rites, the daughter-in-law's family will not make things difficult for the son-in-law. The father-in-law will welcome him out of the door. After going through all the etiquette steps, the son-in-law goes out and the bride follows him.
This process is quite cumbersome. For example, you have to salute and bow at the door, in front of the steps, and when you enter the hall. Every step is the same. Cai Yong is a great scholar and is very familiar with this kind of thing. He can do it with ease, but Wang Yu is sweating profusely.
, more tiring than killing seven in and seven out in a battle formation.
However, thinking about the weddings of later generations, Wang Yu felt calmer. Compared with those juggling and unreliable wedding customs, Zhou Li was still very considerate.
After the ceremony, when he saw Cai Yan walking elegantly in a pure black crotch dress, Wang Yu felt that all the hard work had been in vain.
Holding the child's hand, they got into the wedding car together, and the music slowly sounded.
"There is a girl riding in the car with a face as beautiful as Shunhua.
The general will soar and fly, and the jade will be beautiful.
He is as beautiful as Meng Jiang, and both are beautiful."
Wang Yu was slightly confused. The lyrics of this song were clearly verses from the Book of Songs. Could it be that this was an ancient wedding march? Thinking about it carefully, it seems to have the same meaning. If they were not welcoming the bride, how could there be women traveling together in the car?
"There is a female companion, who looks like Shunying.
The general will soar, the general will wear jade.
He is beautiful, Meng Jiang, and his virtues will never be forgotten."
The sound of music blends with the setting sun, making the bright red on the horizon even brighter. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
