Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 291 Sister Xiaoqiao Flowing Water, Sister Is On the Water Side

In Xiaopei City, the situation was jittery.

—— "Where is the big-eared thief?"

Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse, rode to the bottom of the tower, and yelled towards the tower. It seemed that he was quite angry.

"Liu Bei is here, dare to ask General Fengxian, why did you lead the army here?" Liu Bei also responded with a loud voice on the tower, trying to find the last leeway for turning around.

——"Hmph, Cao Cao sent a letter to Hao Meng, which was captured by this Marquis. It was clearly written on the letter paper. You and the thief Cao want to plot against me, Lu Bu!"

Lu Bu glared angrily. In his hand... this Fangtian painted halberd made of fine steel pointed directly at the top of the tower, and the edge of the halberd glowed with coldness!

"The general must have misunderstood. Liu Bei will only work together with the general to fight against the enemy and protect Xiapi City together. He will never collude with Cao Cao to plot the general's territory. If the general dies? I, Liu Bei, am here? How can I do this?" Waiting for something stupid?"

Liu Bei responded again...

——"Hahaha..." Lu Bu laughed loudly, "Big-eared thief, don't use sweet words. You helped Cao thief to defeat Yuan Shu, and you were able to retreat in the end. Hmph, don't think I don't know, what are you planning? I don't treat you well." Bo, but you betrayed me!"

——"Big-eared thief, you look loyal on the outside, but you are extremely treacherous on the inside. Open the city gate quickly, and I will spare you! Otherwise, if you take the city, no one will be left behind!"

When it comes to this point, it is equivalent to the collapse of the conversation, and there is no room for turning around.

Liu Bei's face darkened completely.

"Brother, don't be afraid of him!" Zhang Fei also raised Zhangba Snake Spear, "We have me in Xiaopei City... Brother, look carefully, let me take three thousand cavalry to fight this fellow!"

As he spoke, Zhang Fei planned to send troops out of the city.

"Don't move!" Liu Bei hurriedly shouted to stop... "Lu Bu's army is powerful, don't go out of the city to fight!"

"My lord, I can only ask Cao Cao to help me for the present." Mi Zhu beside him also frowned, his face extremely miserable.

call…

Hearing this, Liu Bei let out a long breath.

Sad reminder, what is sad reminder?He, Liu Bei, is just as sad as a reminder!
He clearly 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 to send troops in vain, and sent Xiaopei in vain...

No... the heads of Xiapi City, Guangling City, and even Lu Bu were handed over for nothing!
Finally... After all, this Central Plains is about to fall into the hands of Cao Cao.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei's face darkened completely!
Why?Why?
Since Liu Bei stepped into this chaotic world of strife, he has never had a backer, no territory, and no one to help him... He can only stand in the world with "benevolence and righteousness", but what is the exchange for benevolence and righteousness in the end?
It's the last little Peicheng that can't be kept, it's the dream and hope that are all handed over to others, and the man is a knife and I am a fish!
Is he wrong?Was he on the wrong path?

But even if it is wrong, then... where is the mistake?
Why?
Cao Cao a traitor?Why...his soldiers are fighting more and more, every city can be captured without any effort, even sitting in the Central Plains without any effort, compared with Cao Cao...how is Liu Bei inferior?

Phew... let out another long breath.

Liu Bei frowned.

He shouted, "Where is Mi Fang?"

"The end is here!"

"Before Lv Bu's siege was completed, you led your troops to break out immediately. It's too late for me to write a letter now. You rushed to Xudu City to ask Cao Cao for help. In addition, when you pass by Yunda's camp, tell him to stand firm and wait. Do not send troops to aid Peicheng before Cao Jun arrives!"

With Liu Bei's earnest and earnest instructions, under his calm face, his heart was already on the verge of collapse.

"promise!"

Mi Fang promised to call in troops to break through immediately.

In the end... In the end, have you embarked on the road of asking Cao Cao for help?

...

...

Xu Capital City, Si Nong Mansion.

Today is a specially selected auspicious day. Originally...according to Lu Yu's arrangement, choosing a day is worse than bumping into the sun. Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao will enter the Si Nong's mansion and choose a day to serve tea. It's just a formality...

However, Cai Zhaoji is quite particular.

Even if it's a concubine's room, it's also the concubine's room that Brother Yu married, so it's not stolen. Naturally, a good day and auspicious day must be chosen, and the corresponding rules here are indispensable.

It is necessary to let the girls of the family have a sense of belonging to marry into a wealthy family, just like the mistress of the Si Nong Mansion.

And today's Double Eleven is a good day.

However, I don't know what Brother Yu is busy with these days?It seems that I haven't returned home for three or four days?Cai Zhaoji was too busy with etiquette to take care of him.

"Junior sister, congratulations!"

A vigorous and powerful voice came from outside the door...

Half an hour later, it will be the tea ceremony for Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. Now, some friends who have made friends with Cai Zhaoji come to congratulate her one after another. The "congratulations" is Zhong Yao's voice.

Speaking of which, Zhong Yao was a teacher of Taixue, and he was nominally a subordinate of the two chiefs, Cai Yan and Lu Yu.

Coupled with the master-student relationship between Zhong Yao and Cai Yong, and the brother-sister friendship between Zhong Yao and Cai Zhaoji, both of them should be celebrated.

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Zhong."

Cai Zhaoji got up every step of the way...

But just as he saw, there was a servant behind Zhong Yao holding two plaques, one with the words "Small Bridge and Flowing Water", and the other with the words "On the side of the water". Obviously, it was sent by Zhong Yao, a great calligrapher. A gift from him—the plaques of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's wing rooms and pavilions.

Speaking of which, after Zhang Zhi, the ancestor of cursive script, there are only three most famous great calligraphers in the Han Dynasty——Cai Yong, Cai Zhaoji, and Zhong Yao!
It can be said that the first-hand cursive script written by them is the pinnacle of this era and is extremely precious.

These two plaques written by Zhong Yao!

There are only eight big characters in the district, so many rich and powerful families are hard to find.

"Senior Brother Zhong, your Feibaishu already has [-]% of my father's charm!" Cai Zhaoji smiled, looked at the two plaques in front of her, and praised with a smile.

Feibaishu, also known as "grass seal script", is a typeface with a special writing method. Cai Yong once observed a craftsman dipped in lime water to paint the palace wall in front of the Hongdu Literature Museum.

Created this kind of "writing style with a trace of white in the painting" - Feibai Shu!

And this kind of calligraphy is extremely difficult, and it is quite popular in the whole Han Dynasty!
Now it seems that Zhong Yao's writing power seems to have faintly surpassed Cai Zhaoji.

"Where is it... My strength is still far behind that of my junior sister." Zhong Yao waved his hand, in front of his junior sister, Cai Yan, who is the most talented woman in the world, he has always been extraordinarily humble. "After all, it's fine if the junior sister likes it. After all, it's the concubine's room of Si Nong's mansion. After all, it's the plaque of the pavilion. It can't be weakened."

Zhong Yao said with a smile while stroking his beard.

Don't look at him in his 40s, but the brothers and sisters have no sense of disobedience.

at this time…

tao tao…

Rapid footsteps sounded.

"Mr. Zhong, I found you..."

A few little Huangmen outside the door hurried over, they were out of breath, as if they had spent a lot of effort to find Zhong Yao.

This…

Before Zhong Yao could react, Xiao Huangmen took out an imperial edict from his cuff.

"Mr. Zhong, accept the order..."

While speaking, Xiao Huangmen slowly read out the content of the edict, which was nothing more than what Cao Cao ordered before.

Appoint Zhong Yao as Shizhong and Sili Xiaowei, and supervise the Guanzhong armies with festivals!
Hearing the front, the expressions of Cai Zhaoji and Zhong Yao haven't changed much.

In the case of servants, being one of the Nine Ministers "Shaofu" subordinates to the palace officials directly assigned by the emperor does not have much right!

But the captain of Sili is not easy. The officers and soldiers in charge of Sili, Cao Song and Sima Fang all held this position in the past. The power of this position is about equal to that of the future provincial police chief...

And what surprised Zhong Yao the most was - Chijie supervised all the troops in Guanzhong!

Holding festivals is equivalent to going on tour under the order of the emperor. In the eyes of local officials and generals, it is about equal to the imperial envoys of later generations.

And the governor of the Guanzhong army, this...

It's not clear, is he asked Zhong Yao to go to Guanzhong to appease Han Sui, Ma Teng and other Guanzhong princes?
Thinking of this, Zhong Yao's brows tightened. Thanks to him being a great calligrapher, he was calm and calm... Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face. If it were someone else, he would be shocked when he heard that he was going to the tiger and wolf den in Guanzhong. cold sweat.

Can…

How could he be a teacher of Taixue?How could he get such an important mission without any reason?
Zhong Yao's eyes froze subconsciously, his forehead was full of question marks.

Cai Zhaoji was also very surprised, she quickly asked: "This envoy, is this imperial edict really appointed by His Majesty?"

She knows her senior brother too well. He...is a literati, and he can teach calligraphy to Tai students. If he goes to the tiger and wolf den full of warlords in Guanzhong, the senior brother doesn't know any martial arts?Doesn't this mean that there are no bones left after being eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards?

"Miss Cai Yan..." Xiao Huangmen turned his head to face Cai Yan, his tone more humble.

You know, this girl's younger brother, Lu Yulu Sinong, is the one Cao Ying and Han Ting are going to fight for. Give this little Huangmen 120 guts, and he doesn't dare to offend Miss Cai Yan.

The little yellow gate is arched, its waist bent like an arch bridge. "Miss, don't you know, Mr. Zhong...Ah no, it's Lieutenant Zhong, but we, Lu Sinong, recommended him. Lu Sinong's eyes are as bright as a torch, who has he recommended? Which one is mediocre?"

"By the way, Lu Sinong also asked our family to bring a kit to Mr. Zhong. Lu Sinong instructed. When we get to Guanzhong, Mr. Zhong will open it right away. There are surprises hidden in it!"

As he spoke, Xiao Huangmen took out a red kit from his bosom and handed it to Zhong Yao.

The kit is very light, but in Zhong Yao's view, it seems to be very heavy.

This…

This time, not only Zhong Yao was stunned, but even Cai Zhaoji was stunned. She looked back at Zhong Yao and saw that he was also looking at herself with doubts.

It seems to be asking three questions of the soul - who am I?Where do I come from?Where are you going?

Cai Zhaoji shook her head, what Brother Yu was thinking, as a sister, she couldn't understand at all.

"Then... where is my younger brother Yu?" Cai Zhaoji continued to ask, "He hasn't returned home for three days in a row? Where has he been during this time?"

Well…

After blurting out these words, Xiao Huangmen's eyes rolled, and his expression was slightly surprised.

"Miss Zhao Ji doesn't know this?"

He scratched his head, and said loudly: "Young master Lu has set out to Xuzhou with Cao Sikong. He set off three days ago. I heard that the soldiers were only given three hours to prepare. They left on the same day. They are extremely eager! As for the others ...Our family doesn’t know.”

what…

First there was a slight exclamation.

Immediately after a "click", the "pen" that Cai Zhaoji was holding fell to the ground suddenly, making a crisp sound.

All of a sudden, her attention completely shifted from Zhong Yao to her younger brother.

"Again...it's like this again." Cai Zhaoji murmured in her heart..."It's like this every time, when you go far away, don't you even say...a hello?"

Seeing the sudden change of Cai Zhaoji's expression, the servant girl who was serving at the side asked again and again: "Cai...Miss Cai, do you still...serve tea? The auspicious time...the auspicious time has come!"

call…

With a soft exhale, Cai Zhaoji spread her hands helplessly, "Bringing tea, of course I have to serve tea, brother Yu is not here, so why am I the older sister who is wronged? It is obviously two girls from the family who have just entered Si Nong's mansion I'm going to be alone for a while!"

Speaking of this, Cai Zhaoji bit her red lips, as if she was angry for Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao...

In fact, she was the one who was angry with herself and her younger brother!

"Oh, brother Yu is not here, so my sister has no choice but to treat them better for you!"

Thinking about this...

Cai Zhaoji raised her eyes, she first looked at Zhong Yao. "Senior Brother, since it is recommended by my younger brother, I must...Senior brother must have something that my younger brother values ​​and can complete the task in this pass, so I will trouble you to go to the dangerous place in Guanzhong, be careful!"

"Oh..." Zhong Yao cupped his hands, "I haven't thanked Lu Sinong for his recommendation and support!"

Zhong Yao said this from the bottom of his 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 Han Ting, and that kind of excitement was what he yearned for.

Is there anything more challenging and exciting than going to the tiger and wolf den in Guanzhong?

Zhong Yao is yearning for it!
Finished talking about Zhong Yao.

Cai Zhaoji turned her eyes to the servant girl again. "The plain gauze singlets I prepared for sisters Big Qiao and Little Qiao? Are you ready?"

"Ready!" The servant girl replied hastily.

The plain yarn single garment is an extremely precious women's garment in the Han Dynasty. It is famous for being as thin as a cicada's wing and as light as a haze.

Of course, Cai Zhaoji doesn't care whether Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao like this plain gauze singlet!

But Brother Yu must like it when the pair of sisters put it on, that's enough.

It's just a pity...

The plain gauze singlet is ready, and the beauty is also ready, but... the host slipped away. It's a pity, not only a pity, but also annoyed!
This younger brother Yu is getting more and more outrageous.

...

...

On the official road from Xuducheng to Xiapicheng.

"Da da da…"

The hooves of war horses resounded continuously.

Even though it was a starry night, the time for Lv Bu's surprise attack on Xiao Pei on November [-]th was still a bit late.

Still, it's acceptable.

Liu Bei is not that naive, and Lu Bu is not strong enough to swallow Liu Bei in a day.

The current situation is just right. Lu Bu and Liu Bei are in a strategic stalemate. Lu Bu attacked the city several times but failed to capture Xiaopei. Both sides suffered great damage.
And these, in Cao Cao's view... happy to hear and see.

There was some bumps in the carriage, but Cao Cao and Lu Yu were still talking and laughing, chatting wantonly.

"Lu Sinog, just now you mentioned that Lu Bu will definitely betray everyone? How do you know that?"

Cao Cao asked Lu Yu...

Lu Yu replied with a smile, "Cao Sikong probably doesn't know about the recent incident between Lv Bu and his general, does he?"

"It's about a portion of wine and meat, but this portion of wine and meat is enough to make Lu Bu's generals feel alienated from him!"

Well…

A serving of wine and meat?Criticism!

When this topic was brought up, Cao Cao became curious. "Lu Sinong might as well explain in detail, how did this portion of wine and meat make Lu Bu and his generals alienated?"

Well this...

Lu Yu blinked his eyes and explained carefully. "Among the eight strong generals under Lu Bu's command, there was a general named Hou Cheng, and one of Hou Cheng's disciples stole fifteen of his horses in an attempt to dedicate them to Liu Bei, and surrendered to Liu Bei. The war horses are all back!"

Hey... isn't this nice?
Is it a normal thing?

Iron-clad camps and flowing soldiers... Soldiers are so rebellious, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, 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 event. All the soldiers went to congratulate Hou Cheng. In order to thank everyone for their kindness, Hou Cheng never had to hold a banquet! But However, due to the lack of food supply in Xiapi City, Lu Bu issued a ban on alcohol!"

This…

Cao Cao seemed to have figured out something.

And Lu Yu's words continued. "Everyone's good intentions can't be let down, and the prohibition order doesn't dare to violate. Hou Cheng was in trouble, so he thought of a way to visit Lu Bu himself with Wudou wine and half a pig. Thanks to Marquis Wen’s majesty, the lost horses were recovered, and everyone came to congratulate, but none of them dared to drink, so, first, dedicate the most mellow wine to the most admired general!”

Hearing this, Cao Cao rolled his eyes. "If this happened to me, with a big wave of my hand, I promised Hou Cheng that this time, he wouldn't drink every day. Plus, it's justifiable, it's not a big deal!"

Cao Cao's tone was quite heroic.

It is true that he has no eyes for big things, but he is never serious about small things.

It's not a big deal, is it?
never thought...

What Lu Yu said next shocked Cao Cao.

"Cao Sikong's handling method is very appropriate!"

"But Lu Bu, hehe...Cao Sikong might as well guess how Lu Bu handled this matter? I just want to talk about it in detail, so I'll laugh my ass off!"

"He, Lu Bu, seems to be extremely good at digging his own grave!"
