Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 374 Even if you are against the gods, you will still win

Sima Yi...

When Yang Xiu turned his head, it was Sima Yi who appeared in front of him, and the appearance of Sima Yi really surprised Yang Xiu.

"Sima Zhongda? Why are you here?"

A very surprised question...

That's right, Hongnong Yang's secret room is hidden in this wine shop, few people know about it!
Your Majesty knows it, Dong Cheng knows it, Sima Fang... Sima Fang knows it too.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiu's eyes narrowed.

"Sima Zhongda, what are you doing?"

"Don't be nervous." Sima Yi shook his head and said, "If it's an enemy, I've already reported this to Cao Sikong. Come to think of it, I'm in the same mood as Dezu at the moment!"

Well…

Generally the same?Could it be that Sima Gong and his father felt the same way?

"Sima Zhongda, please speak clearly!"

"Don't you really think that Lu Situ let go of my father and Yang Taiwei? Don't you know that they participated in the 'Clothing Belt Edict'?" Sima Yi said softly...

"You...what do you want to say?" Yang Xiu's eyes were condensed, and he became more cautious in vain.

Sima Yi, however, was still talking to himself. "Lu Situ didn't kill our father because my father and Yang Taiwei were not worthy of killing him. He wanted something else?"

"what?"

Even if it was four words, Yang Xiu stumbled once.

"The battle is imminent... The decisive battle between Cao and Yuan is imminent. It is easy to kill, but difficult to attack!"

Sima Yi explained in detail: "Release father and Yang Taiwei, and the Yingchuan scholars, including Xun Lingjun, can be united with Cao Sikong. The heads of Dong Cheng and Wang Zifu are enough to stand up. After standing, the next step is Jia En!"

"Lu Situ deployed in this way, with both kindness and power, hundreds of officials and all people have nothing but admiration for Cao Sikong. The guilty people repent and repent, and the innocent people are grateful for their loyalty. It is clear that the punishment of this "clothes edict" should have made Cao Sikong lose The heart of the world's scholars, but Lu Situ "in the silent place", subtly showed Cao Sikong's heart, this is the genius! Keeping my father and Yang Taiwei, this is like ten letters of seeking talents , more clever!"

Huo…

Yang Xiu, who hadn't thought of this level just now because of his low mood, suddenly realized it.

Even though he had never underestimated his mentor Lu Yu, after Sima Yi's analysis, he found that he still didn't see the essence thoroughly.

He sighed...

"As expected of Mr. Lu, he used both kindness and power. The disaster of Xiaoqiang ended in this way. Next, no matter whether it is going north, east or south, there will be no worries! You are brilliant!"

and many more…

In a word, Yang Xiu felt something was wrong, why did Sima Yi tell him this?Are they on good terms?

"Zhongda came here not only to tell me these things, did he?"

"Of course not."

"Then don't open the skylight and speak plainly."

"I would like to ask Dezu to recommend me so that I can serve under Lu Situ's command..."

This…

As soon as these words came out, Yang Xiu's eyeballs suddenly blinked.

Almost everyone in the entire Taixue knew that Director Lu was very kind to every student in the Taixue, but Sima Yi was the only one left behind!

For some reason, Chief Lu's attitude towards Sima Yi is extremely cold, as if...he has a lot of resentment towards him.

today…

Sima Yi asked Yang Xiu to introduce him. Yang Xiu rolled his eyes and waved his hand immediately.

"The chief has always disliked you, how could he reuse you?"

"Didn't the former president also dislike Dezu? He also blamed Dezu in front of hundreds of teachers and students of Taixue. Today's Dezu is entrusted with a heavy responsibility?"

Sima Yi argued. "President Lu is good at attacking people's hearts. For him, whether he reuses me is not about his liking for me, but whether I am useful."

"Function?" Yang Xiu asked back.

"That's right, just as you, Yang Dezu, are the only son of Yang Taiwei, as long as you, Yang Xiu, are by Lu Situ's side, will those ministers with different ambitions in the Han court still dare to look for Yang Taiwei? I am the same...as long as I The princes of the Sima family are employed, and the courtiers of the Han court will definitely not look for my father again, this is...another kind of protection for the Sima family."

This…

Sima Yi's words made Yang Xiu's heart skip a beat.

He was right, even though father was foolishly loyal to the Han family, but because of him, Yang Xiu, how could the courtiers of the Han family go to her father again?For the same reason, Sima Yi is in exactly the same situation as him.

"Zhongda, today you impress me!"

The corner of Yang Xiu's mouth opened, and he actually smiled slightly.

Sima Yi waved his hands.

"Pinch a chess piece, and Lu Situ can control the entire chessboard, just like in the old days... Cao Sikong looked like when he used Lord Xunling! Lord Xunling certainly has a strategy, but... the entire Yingchuan gentry behind him is what Cao Sikong values. The gentry are married to each other, share honor and shame, and advance and retreat together. If Xun Lingjun enters the shogunate alone, he will bring Cao Sikong an endless stream of talents!"

"Now let's not say that it is Cao Sikong, it is Lu Situ's admiration, isn't it like a cloud of counselors, missing you and me, two young men who are 'childish'? No shortage, but behind you and me, is the entire dynasty. The ministers in the hall who are devoted to the Han Dynasty, if you cut off you and me, you will cut off the lifeline of the Han court!"

Speaking of this, Sima Yi cupped his hands and bowed to Yang Xiu. "Brother Lao Dezu has everything. As expected, Director Lu must be waiting for Brother Dezu's recommendation this time!"

The words blurted out, Yang Xiu also respectfully returned a salute.

admire…

Sima Yi's analysis lingered in his ears endlessly, which made him admire!

Speaking of which, in the records of ancient books, these two young talents who fought like dragons and tigers, and even... fought endlessly...

At this moment, an alliance and understanding was briefly reached for the same reason.

Preservation, using another form to preserve the family, this is their consensus.

Activate Yang Xiu, activate Sima Yi...

It can not only win over these two top aristocrats, but also separate their families from the anti-Cao ministers. Without Sima Fang and Yang Biao, the Han court will not be able to make much trouble!
seem…

This time, it was not Lu Yu asking them to be chess pieces, but these two young talents were willing to be Lu Yu's chess pieces. Even if they were against the "Heaven's God-given", they would still win against Tianbanzi!

That's... interesting too.

According to the course of history, today's Sima Yi would not hesitate to avoid Cao Cao's conquest by means of self-mutilation...

Because he predicted that Cao Cao would use him as a blade to attack the Han court. The so-called "the evil of murder is evil when entering, and the evil is evil when retreating" can't take two paths!

Therefore, Sima Yi chose the method of self-mutilation, avoiding the current situation, "laying down" and begging to be let go.

But now, because of Lu Yu's appearance, instead of avoiding disaster, Sima Yi took the initiative to seek employment. The wheel of history has changed. With Sima Yi, will it be another ending?
...

...

Xu Capital City, the residence of the Zhen family.

Don't look at the Zhen family as outsiders, but...they bought two adjacent mansions in the busiest street in Xu Capital City.

Once opened up, the entire courtyard will not give way much compared to Sikong Mansion and Situ Mansion.

"I didn't know that Lu Situ came to the door, the little girls were not well prepared, and Lu Situ laughed..."

The voice of Zhen Jiang, the daughter of Zhen's parents, was heard from a distance.

Smiling, it sounds as sweet as a lark.

When he saw Zhen Jiang, Lu Yu paused for a moment. What he subconsciously thought was that in the old days...Guo Jia's assignment, it seemed that the eldest daughter Zhen Jiang and the youngest daughter Zhen Mi were assigned to Lu Yu?

There is a great sense of sight that the official divides the daughter-in-law!
Of course, this is what Guo Jia said, and when Lu Yu heard it, Lu Yu was not at ease.

Ahem...

Coughing lightly, Lu Yu said with a smile: "A few girls visited Situ's Mansion once. When it comes to etiquette, I should also pay a return visit. But recently there are so many things that I can't get away. I'm rude."

Very polite…

After all, this trip, Lu Yu is here to find out, and he has something to ask for...

Never thought, right now.

A crisp male voice came...

"Lu Situ, don't say you're being rude. No, every day I, Guo Jiake, return to visit Zhen's Mansion for you. We have all the etiquette!"

Under the guidance of Zhen Jiang, around the corridor, Lu Yu was seeing Guo Jia standing at the stone pavilion in the backyard and waving to him.

Also, beside him, there were two girls standing, in my impression...the second daughter of the Zhen family, Zhen Tuo, and the fourth daughter of the Zhen family, Zhen Rong!
Obedient…

Lu Yu's eyes widened suddenly, why is Guo Jia here?Isn't that the point?The point is... this "daughter-in-law" assigned by him, has already begun to use it?Is it so efficient?
Ha ha…

Lu Yu said "hehe"!
Considering Guo Fengxiao's character, what else can you say, Lu Yu is too embarrassed to point out the return visit to Zhen's mansion for Lu Yu for him, you Guo Fengxiao Huang is full of gambling and drugs, are you here to visit Zhen's mansion?It's clearly here to make an object!

"Ahem..." With a light cough, Lu Yu looked back at Zhen Jiang.

Zhen Jiang replied with a smile. "That's right, Mr. Guo comes to our Zhen's mansion every day. It's full of splendor. Speaking of... some business problems, Mr. Guo has helped us a lot!"

count it once...

Lu Yu's eyeballs are sure, but Guo Jia has done some practical things to keep things in order... This is also helpful to his request.

Lu Yu immediately smiled and said, "Feng Xiao, I have something serious to discuss with Miss Zhen Jiang today. Aren't you good at making suggestions? Come and listen..."

"Busy?"

Guo Jia's eyes rolled. From his point of view, the biggest business he and Lu Yu had to do was to turn the Zhen family's golden girls into innocent young women...

"Hahaha…"

Of course, thinking so in his heart, Guo Jia laughed out loud. "The affairs of the girls of the Zhen family are business affairs for us."

...

In the main hall, Lu Yu and Guo Jia were sitting at the guest seats, and opposite... the three daughters of the Zhen family were sitting at the main seats.

Do not know why…

The third daughter Zhen Dao and the fifth daughter Zhen Mi did not appear.

However, that's not the point...

The point is... the topics covered.

"What?" Zhen Jiang was slightly taken aback after hearing Lu Yu and Chen Ming's intentions. "What does Lu Situ mean to let the Zhen family restart their trade with the Hu people?"

"That's right..." Lu Yu nodded. "Cao Ying needs horses too much today, not only for the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, but also for the future expedition to the Northern Territory. Because of their natural patience, horses outside the Great Wall are the most suitable mounts for the Northern Expedition!"

What others can see is...the decisive battle between Cao and Yuan is imminent, but what Lu Yu sees is the Northern Expedition.

It can be said that horses are the lifeline of the Northern Expedition, even though the soldiers under Lao Cao's command today are much more brave than in history.

But if after the Battle of Guandu, the Northern Expedition Yuan Shao!
There are many plains in the northern border... relying on horses and cavalry charging back and forth, so the number of existing infantry cannot form a crushing advantage.

And the recruitment of Huma outside the Great Wall is something that must be put on the agenda!

"Little girl understands what Lu Situ means, but... our Zhen family and the Hu people have not done business for many years."

Zhen Jiang's tone was a little slight, as if, with some unspeakable secrets...

"Why?" Lu Yu asked anxiously...

"It's... because..." Obviously, Zhen Jiang didn't want to talk about the reason...

"In front of Lu Situ, there is nothing that cannot be said." The second daughter Zhen Tuo took the initiative to explain. "It's because of my father..."

"Shang Cailing? Master Zhen?" Lu Yu asked back.

The "Master Zhen" mentioned by Lu Yu is the patriarch of the Wuji Zhen family in Zhongshan, the husband of Mrs. Zhang, and the father of the five eldest daughters of the Zhen family——Zhen Yi!
He is a descendant of Zhen Han, the Taibao of the Eastern Han Dynasty. His family inherited an official position with a salary of two thousand shi, and the highest official is Cai Ling...

It is very famous in the whole Jizhou.

"Second Sister..." Zhen Jiang turned her head, staring deeply at her second sister Zhen Tuo...

It seems that she is not allowed to speak.

Lu Yu could tell that the parents and daughters of Zhen had unspeakable difficulties in their mouths.

"Is there something unspeakable?" Lu Yu took the initiative to ask...

"This..." Zhen Jiang lowered her head with a bit ashamed expression.

"If you don't want to say it..." Lu Yu didn't want to make things difficult, after all, looking at Zhen Jiang's lovely and pitiful appearance, his heart ached.

I never thought... His words haven't escaped yet.

Second sister Zhen Tuo took the initiative. "Sister, didn't daddy say that a mistake is a mistake, and you have to be brave enough to take responsibility for your crimes. Now... Lu Situ is asking, should our Zhen family run away?"

Having said this, Zhen Tuo stood up suddenly.

Obviously, Lu Yu noticed that as Zhen Tuo got up suddenly, Guo Jia's expression changed, and there was a sense of... these secrets of Zhen's mansion, which he had already discovered in advance.

"Lu Situ has no doubts. My Zhen family was originally a family of bureaucrats, but why did I become a businessman in just a dozen years, and even became the largest merchant in the entire northern territory?"

Zhen Tuo's voice came out gradually.

"Second..." Zhen Jiang wanted to speak and tried to stop her, but after all, "Second Sister" didn't blurt out the word "sister", so she gave up. Now that... the conversation has reached this point, let's just say it, say it It's better than hiding it.

"It's an agreement, it's an agreement that Dad made with the Hu people..." Zhen Tuo told the truth: "Daddy will secretly sell the iron, cloth, and grain of the big man to the Hu people, so as to get the Hu people's good horses, Hu clothes, etc. , Hu Qi...and sell Hu horses in the northern border... Hu Qi once skyrocketed in those years, and the price of a Hu horse was sky-high. Naturally, the Zhen family made a lot of money, and they were able to compete with Xuzhou in just a few years. The Lu family and the Cochin family are on the same level!"

Having said this, Zhen Tuo paused.

Lu Yu thought about it...it's nothing, each takes what he needs, he's a businessman, but until the word "镔铁" flashed in his mind.No... If it is to supply barbarians with iron...

that…

Sure enough, what Zhen Tuo said next confirmed Lu Yu's conjecture.

"But... what I didn't expect was that after a few years of peace, the Hu people began to invade the border every year, going south frantically... and the reason is that their reserves of iron and iron are sufficient, and they have forged many sharp edges scimitars, arrows..."

"Then, they no longer needed to do business with the Zhen family to obtain food. They chose to use a more direct and brutal method. It is precisely because of this that the rapid rise of Xianbei, the Southern Huns, and Wuhuan...the continuous invasion of the border, Constantly plundering the Han land...continuously making life difficult for the people on the frontier."

"Father, too... also after hearing the news, he knew his sins. It was the iron he provided to the barbarians. These iron bars became the tools of the barbarians to commit crimes, and even caused the Sanhu's crimes today. Going south has caused the loss of life on the frontier of the Han Dynasty. Although...the Hu people have a tacit understanding to treat Jizhou and Zhongshan County, but...but the feeling of condemnation in his heart made my father feel miserable until the end...until the end..."

Zhen Tuo didn't finish her sentence... but she was already crying, as if... telling out this secret hidden in her heart made her release her emotions uncontrollably.

This feeling... Lu Yu can understand.

Zhen Yi, the patriarch of the Zhen family... most likely died of his own self-blame in the end!
No wonder the Zhen family has no son.

It's not that there are no men, it's that these men are ashamed... unable to face their own mistakes!

And these stories are not recorded in ancient books and documents. The Zhen family went from being an official to a businessman, from rising to declining... There is always sadness in the middle, if the second daughter of the Zhen family hadn't told it, who would know?
Ugh…

This is the so-called one thought, the loss of life.

Seeing the three girls Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, and Zhen Rong crying like rain, Lu Yu wanted to say a few words of comfort, but...before Lu Yu could speak, Zhen Jiang's words came out first.

"So, my father was in self-blame, and his health was getting worse every day. Before he died... he called my mother and our five sisters to the bed, saying that the Zhen family would never do business with barbarians... So, Lu The request that Situ mentioned, our Zhen family may be..."

"I see!"

Lu Yu nodded...

Then, he also stood up suddenly, turned around, and stood with his hands behind his back, making an appearance of empathy.

"I can understand Patriarch Zhen's mood..."

"However, perhaps... Patriarch Zhen has a spirit in the sky. Compared to... never doing business with Hu Di, he would rather see the moment when Hu people are counterattacked by us big men. In the past... your Zhen family exchanged iron for Hu horses, of course it is wrong. , but now... what if we can exchange something that is harmful to the barbarian but not beneficial to the frontier barbarians?"

"And these Humas will also be used by the future big man to subdue the Hudi? Could it be that the patriarch Zhen will be able to rest in peace when he is in the heavenly spirit? The past mistakes of the Zhen family can be made up for..."

This…

Obviously, Lu Yu's words made the hearts of the three daughters of the Zhen family throb.

If there is such a thing...that can cause a lot of harm to the barbarian without any benefit, and...that can be exchanged for a war horse, then...the father's spirit in the sky...

but…

"An item that is harmful to Hu people but has no benefit? Hu people will either? Will they be stupid enough to trade with Hu horses?" Zhen Jiang questioned...

Lu Yu's eyes were extraordinarily sharp.

"Yes... definitely will!"

"Because in this world, there is no one who does not yearn for confusion and fantasy... It is not easy for the people of the big man, but it is also not easy for the barbarians. They also need spiritual comfort!"

Mentioning this, Lu Yu once again thought of Wushi San.

actually…

Strictly speaking, this thing is far less vicious than opium. To put it bluntly... it is a combination of five kinds of hot Chinese medicines, which makes people feel hot and dry, resulting in a feeling of climax.

even…

A small amount of consumption is also beneficial to the health of the body...

This is also the original intention of Zhang Zhongjing to develop this medicine. As for the toxicity, it is just like that. Many people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties smoked Wushi powder, but few of them died. It was just a kind of mental disintegration and behavioral walking dead!

If he wanted to make a profit, Lu Yu would feel a little bit guilty, but...sent to Hudi in exchange for horses, and even...in the not-too-distant future, Lu Yu was very calm in his heart to control Sanhu with his mind.

at this time…

call…

With a heavy exhalation, Guo Jia also stood up.

He seemed to know what Lu Yu was talking about...

and…

He, Guo Jia, also occasionally smokes!
If it is this thing, it is not guaranteed, and the "three Hu problems" that cannot be solved in every dynasty and generation have found a new answer!
It's a bit insidious, but also a bit vicious!
Can…

No matter how vicious or insidious the methods are for these bulldogs who never treat the Han people as human beings, it is not an exaggeration.

Although Guo Jia is full of pornography, gambling and drugs.

Can…

He still has a steelyard in his heart for things like national righteousness!

——"Lu Situ, why don't you just leave this matter to me and the girls from the Zhen family? Is that okay?"

——"Hu Di? Hehe, it seems...the footsteps of Guo Fengxiao are going to spread all over me. Let's try to disintegrate them and solve the Sanhu problem once and for all!"

...
