Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 492 Rabbit, fox, bird and fish, these four things are inseparable
kill three birds with one stone;
Three birds with one stone...

These words have to be understood separately.

In Cao Cao's view, Fu Wan and the Han Dynasty's move attracted Lu Yu.

In the future, with the presence of Princess Wannian, to a certain extent, Lu Yu would not go too far in dealing with the Han court. Cao Cao also took Lu Yu's face into consideration, so he made a certain retreat!
Secondly, the growing conflict between the Han court and Cao Ying was eased by the friendship of marriage, and the two sides jointly established the common goal of "unifying the world", which Cao Cao liked to hear!

Three times, this move helped the Fu family get rid of the crime, and almost brought the Fu family back from the mortal situation.

This is what Cao Cao said, Fu Guozhang killed three birds with one stone!
Not to mention exquisite!

And killing three birds with one stone means that Cao Cao won the position of prime minister, eased his relationship with the Han court, and stabilized the rear. In the future, there will be no worries about the northern expedition and the southern expedition. This is one...

Second, Lu Yu married the Wannianchang Princess, which was very important for him to inherit the throne in the future.

Even to make a further step forward, to bury the possibility!
You know, Cao Cao has a red line. Cao’s family has been favored by the emperor, so he will not do anything to usurp the Han, but... the current emperor Liu Xie is in his 20s, but has no children under his knees. The future heir of the great man... up in the air.

And as Lu Yu, the son-in-law of a big man, he can justifiably control the successor.

more than this…

Ha ha!

Cao Cao's heart moved, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he didn't say anything, except "hehe..."

As for... the third!
Xia Houjuan's marriage to Lu Yu can be regarded as helping Yu'er establish a connection with Cao's meritorious service and Qiao Peiwu people!
This is crucial for him to win the support of Qiao Pei's meritorious service!

And... to expose Lu Yu's life experience, Cao Cao is already planning, and he will never wait too long!

From this point of view, this move is... crucial!
Of course…

Fu Wan didn't think so much. His so-called killing three birds with one stone is more about the relationship between Han Ting, Cao Ying, and Lu Yu. It's just... Cao Cao's vision is much farther than he imagined.

This is what the so-called parents love for their sons.

Next…

Cao Cao's plan is to have a good chat with Cao Ang and Mrs. Ding!
After all, Cao Ang is still his eldest son in name, Mrs. Ding is his wife, and Yu'er is the eldest son, their attitude is also very important!

"Ha ha…"

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's devilish laughter resounded through the prison.

Fu Wan was also laughing, Cao Cao's arm was on his shoulders, the two of them were like old friends, laughing and walking towards the gate of the prison!

"Tap..."

The sound of footsteps suddenly became much crisper!

But at this time, the sky outside the prison...suddenly brightened a lot!
...

...

Xuzhou, Xiapi City.

Early in the morning, Lu Yu took his seat in the study of the government office. In front of him... Zhuge Jun, He Yan, Huang Xu, Cao Zhi and others had long been guarding here.

They are reporting the "Jiangbei League" one by one!

From the lottery, to fishing, to extracting salt, as well as national debt, newspapers and periodicals... Lu Yu listened extremely carefully to every item.

Of course, in Lu Yu's view, these Tai students are doing well and are very talented!

——"Fishing and extracting salt, Huang Xu and He Yan, you both need to worry about it. The lottery, national debt, and the affairs of the Jiangbei League will be left to Kong Ming! The national debt must be issued regularly, and the lottery must be increased in due course. The promotion efforts will allow Zijian to write a special edition of newspapers about national debt and lottery tickets and send them to all parts of the Central Plains! This will lay the foundation for the development of businesses in various places!"

——"In addition, you must keep in mind that stabilizing prices and ensuring the supply of food and grass to the local area and the front line are still the top priorities in this current situation! The Jiangbei League must also grow further. My idea is to make him a A commercial organization that can control the business activities of the entire Dahan, the high prices, and the supply of food and grass!"

There are no details, Lu Yu reminded them one by one.

The students in front of him are all his students. If the students are promising, the masters will naturally be honored... Lu Yu hopes that they will continue to thrive and become bigger and stronger!

"Follow President Lu's instruction, we will surely fulfill our mission!"

Zhuge Jun, Huang Xu, and He Yan spoke in unison.

Lu Yu nodded and looked towards Cao Zhi. "Recently, is there any movement north of the Yellow River?"

Because he is in charge of the newspaper office, Cao Zhi is particularly sensitive to news.

Cao Zhi was able to find out a lot of information on the northern border before the horse detection report was sent back.

It's not that his information is faster than that of scouting horses...

It was because the newspaper office solicited a large number of manuscripts, regardless of region or household registration, all selected manuscripts would be rewarded with coins, so... Among the many manuscripts, the current situation in the northern border was naturally indispensable.

"President Lu." Cao Zhi stood up and said eloquently: "Since Yuan Shao died, his sons Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang each mobilized troops and horses to station in Liyang City. Even in the old days, Yuan Shao was still alive. Many letters were sent from Mount Tai, bypassing Li Yang!"

Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded, but he was noncommittal.

It was as if he was just asking about the movements of Yuan Shao's three sons as a matter of routine, and didn't care.

Zhuge Jun is a bit confused, he is a good boy who likes to ask questions...

Immediately, he knocked on his forehead, and opened his mouth to ask: "President Lu, I don't know something. In the past... when Yuan Shao was alive, Cao Sikong fought with him endlessly. It stands to reason that now that Yuan Shao is dead, he should go north with all his strength." To solve the problem in the northern border, why... it calmed down instead? Besides, didn't the food arrive early?"

Zhuge Jun frowned, looking full of curiosity...

Of course, Zhuge Jun is not the only one with such an expression, everyone is very curious, the so-called taking advantage of the enemy's illness and killing the enemy, Yuan Shao is dead?The two sides have calmed down instead?
What does it mean?
This…

Seeing "Zhuge Liang"'s cheek full of curiosity, Lu Yu let out an "ah" in his heart.

It's crooked, Zhuge Kongming is completely crooked...

Zhuge Kongming in history is astute, wise, insightful of the current situation, well-versed in changes, and daring to be emotional... I have cultivated an honest Kongming with strong hands-on ability and extremely weak brain ability!

The growth is crooked, and the technology tree is completely crooked!

Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh...

But he still held his temper and began to talk about it in detail.

"Whether the Northern Expedition or not actually depends not on us, but on the current situation..."

Lu Yu's "old father"-like teaching class began.

"Do you remember? In the old days, when Lu Bu and Liu Bei defended Xuzhou together? At that time, Cao Sikong's army was overwhelming, but he didn't take advantage of it!"

This…

Zhuge Jun, Huang Xu, and He Yan looked at each other, and it was He Yan who had the brightest brain, after all... At that time, he was in Shouchun, very close to Xuzhou, and he knew more details, more thoroughly.

"What does Chief Lu mean? In the past, Liu Bei was in Xiapi, and Lu Bu was in Xiaopei. When Cao Sikong's army came under pressure, the two of them worked together and fought against the enemy hand in hand. Cao Sikong can't take advantage of it."

"But... when Cao Sikong withdrew his troops and the crisis was resolved, Liu Bei and Lu Bu started a series of fights for territory and resources, while Cao Sikong sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight. The fierce battle in Xiapi City, the death of Baimen Tower, is the final result and the belonging of the Peerless God of War!"

call…

He Yan blurted out these words, Zhuge Jun and Huang Xu suddenly realized.

Aren't the three sons of Yuan Shao today just like Liu Bei and Lu Bu in Xuzhou in the past?

peaceful...

No wonder, along the Yellow River, since the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Cangting, it has entered a long period of peace...

This is Cao Sikong pretending to retreat to Xudu City, thereby paralyzing his opponent and causing the Yuan brothers to fight in the same room. What a clever way!
"That's right..."

Seeing their stunned looks, Lu Yu opened his mouth and said, "That's what the so-called two tigers compete for food and drive tigers to devour wolves! What's more..."

Lu Yu paused, and said with emotion...

"Yuan Shao is a good father... Yuan Shao's three sons are not easy-going lamps! These three tigers compete to eat on them, complement each other, and they are perfect!"

This is not Lu Yu's nonsense.

Follow the wheel of history…

Before Yuan Shao became cold, he had already regarded Jizhou as his home world.

He had long believed that his son should take over after his death, of course... This idea is correct, no one would say that he was selfish!

But...however, the fault is that he has three sons!

According to the principle at that time, the elders should not be established, and the principle of establishing a son should not be a concubine...

The son of the first son has the priority of inheritance than the son of the concubine. If there is no son of the first son, the eldest son has the priority of inheritance.

The deceased mother of the eldest son, Yuan Tan, was also the main wife. Yuan Shao's current wife, Mrs. Liu, was regarded as the stepmother. According to the rules... even if it was the deceased wife, her son's status was higher than that of the stepmother, let alone Yuan Tan was the eldest son!The eldest son!

It can be said…

Yuan Tan's succession to Yuan Shao's great cause is a certainty, but Yuan Shao prefers Yuan Shang, the youngest son born with the Liu family!

Yuan Shang inherited many of Yuan Shao's excellent genes. He is handsome and has a sweet mouth...

Yuan Shao wanted Yuan Shang to inherit his career from the bottom of his heart!
But the ancestors have laws, establishing a descendant and establishing a head, abolishing Yuan Tan and establishing Yuan Shang, is tantamount to violating the ancestors' family law!
Therefore, Yuan Shao thought of his father, Yuan Feng, adopting him to his cousin, and then adopting him back.

Then, a more coquettish operation came, Yuan Shao directly adopted Yuan Tan to his dead brother. In this way, Yuan Tan was no longer Yuan Shao's son, and he could make Yuan Shang his heir apparent!

If... the development of things is just like this!
But...Yuan Shao is a good father. After adopting Yuan Tan, he changed back to the appearance of a loving father. He felt that he was a little sorry for his eldest son, so he gave Yuan Tan a huge force and sent Jizhou and Qingzhou The Nanpi City in the middle is handed over to Yuan Tan...

In recent years, Yuan Tan has developed well. He brought a lot of soldiers and horses in the battle of Guandu and Cangting, but...he still has more soldiers hidden under his command!
And this is the inevitable reason why the Yuan brothers brought disaster to Xiao Qiang!
Lu Yu didn't talk too much...

However, even with just a few words, Zhuge Jun, Huang Xu, and He Yan nodded repeatedly.

Think about it carefully, two tigers compete for food, drive tigers to devour wolves... Although this strategy is insidious, the effect is bound to be very good, very good!
"Students are taught!"

Zhuge Jun, Huang Xu, and He Yan unanimously bowed their hands and saluted.

Lu Yu waved his hand, originally he wanted to talk about the family of Yuan Shao in detail.

To know…

The things here are so complicated that I can talk about it for a whole day.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is an extremely "excellent" tradition passed down from generation to generation by the Yuan family of four generations and three fathers - fighting in the nest!

The so-called - not a family, do not fight a family!

but…

To drive tigers and wolves back to drive tigers and wolves, Lu Yu has to add a jar of oil to the fire in Jizhou.

With this in mind, Lu Yu directly took a pen and wrote something hastily on a piece of white paper. When he finished writing, he called Dian Wei in, folded the white paper into a small ball and handed it to Dian Wei.

"Dian Dutong, please find a way to deliver this letter to Sima Zhongda..."

"Here!" Dian Wei agreed and went to make arrangements.

Sima Zhongda mentioned here...

Lu Yu has always maintained correspondence with him. This kind of letterhead transmission with white paper is extremely secretive, and it is many times safer than the bamboo slips!
And Sima Yi basically completed all the previous tasks. Tian Feng's clan and Xu You's clan were rescued to a safe place and hid!

With the current internal and external troubles of the Yuan family, they still have no time to deal with this problem!
but…

There was another person, Lu Yu specifically asked Sima Yi not to save him.

In Yecheng, he could become Lu Yu's eyes, a very important person!

And the content of this letter today is the person Lu Yu wants to use!

At the strategic level of driving tigers and wolves away, someone has to muddy the water!

After talking about the Jiangbei League and the Yuan brothers, the atmosphere here became a bit more serious... Cao Zhi was keenly aware of this, and immediately stood up and reminded.

"President Lu, the younger generation looks at you...Recently, the affairs of the Jiangbei League have been dealt with almost. Shouldn't it be time to meet the oiran of the Wanhua Pavilion?"

"Half a month has passed, and still no one has passed her test. The men in Xiapi City are talking about it, but we can all wait and see!"

Hey…

Not to mention, if Cao Zhi hadn't mentioned it, Lu Yu would have almost forgotten it.

The girl in the brothel and red house chooses the guests. This kind of thing is outrageous enough. She even set up three difficult problems, and no one passed it. It is even more outrageous, outrageous!
Of course, what Cao Zhi mentioned was also related to his understanding of Lu Yu's work and rest. It seems... for eight or nine months, Chief Lu hasn't touched a woman!

"All the men in Xiapi City are stumped by a woman...it's weird..."

Lu Yu shook his head lightly, then opened his eyes immediately. "How about it, Zijian, you make the arrangement. I'll meet her for a while the next evening. I'd like to see how beautiful this woman is!"

"Okay!" Cao Zhi agreed.

In his opinion, Lu Yu is the wisest son in the world. If even he can't pass the three tests set by that woman, then... no man in the world will be able to pry into his true face!

at this time.

The sound of "tattling" footsteps came from outside the study.

Immediately afterwards, with a "pop", Cao Xiu pushed open the door and broke into the house.

He wanted to speak, but looking around the whole study, he found that 'Zhuge Liang' and Cao Zhi were there, and immediately walked to Lu Yu's side, bent over, and whispered something in his ear.

At first, Lu Yu's expression was calm.

But as the words deepened, Lu Yu's brows were all frowned, with a surprised expression.

--"This is real?"

——"It's absolutely true!"

Cao Xiu's answer was very firm.

Lu Yu's eyes narrowed in an instant, and he continued to question subconsciously.

——"When did it happen?"

——"On the day Commander Lu left the East China Sea..."

Cao Xiu's reply suddenly made the atmosphere here much colder.

—Something went wrong!
——Xuzhou, this is a big deal!
...

...

Got it, got it!
Got it, got it...

On the official road from Yanzhou to Xuzhou, two fast horses are galloping, one of them is completely dark, galloping past like a flash of lightning, even the shadow can't catch up with its speed!

The other horse was as red as charcoal from top to bottom, with no stray hairs, galloping like flying into the sea.

The knights on the two horses only glanced at each other briefly when they were at the posthouse...

To be precise... it was a glimpse of the other party's horse!
Just such a glance, the two of them were amazed again and again...

Because, this black horse and the red horse are both "rabbit heads"!
The so-called "rabbit head" is mentioned in Bole's "Xiang Ma Jing", which divides the shape of the horse's head into "straight head", "rabbit head", "concave head", "wedge head" and "half rabbit head". Head" and so on.

It is mentioned in the Sutra of Compassion of Horses - "To get rabbits and foxes, birds and fishes, to get these four things, there is nothing else." This is to explain that the ancient rabbit-shaped head is an important external standard of a good horse, and it also shows that It is not an easy task to get a good horse with "rabbit head".

Who would have thought that at this very moment...

On the same official road, there are actually two such rare "BMWs"!
Of course…

Among the two BMWs, the former is Jueying, who is dark all over. Cao Cao specially lent it to Xia Houyuan, asking him to send the Emperor's Edict of "One Marquis Mansion and Two Ladies" to Xuzhou as soon as possible, and hand it into Lu Yu's hands!
The wedding cannot be delayed!

The knight on the horse is naturally Xia Houyuan...

The second horse, which was as red as charcoal, was the red rabbit horse that Lu Bu was riding.

It stands to reason...

Xia Houyuan knew Lu Bu, but...however, Lu Bu was wearing a mask and a coir hat...he couldn't see his face clearly, and Xia Houyuan, Lu Bu was not interested in observing...his heart was full of "feather trouble" Three word package!

Is Zang Ba going to cause trouble?

And his precious daughter Lu Lingqi, is she also causing trouble?

The two of them, one in front of the other, gathered hundreds of steps... At this moment, they were galloping, and the dust was flying more than two feet high. This can also be seen... The mood of these two people is extremely urgent!

finally…

In Taishan County, the two parted ways, and Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and went directly to the mountain road of Mount Tai.

And Xia Houyuan couldn't wait to rush to Xuzhou, he couldn't wait to meet this good son-in-law!

hey-hey…

Lu Yu, Lu Yu, no matter how powerful you are, don't you still have to call me "my father-in-law!"

To know…

In the Han Dynasty, "adults" could not be called casually...

The meaning of an adult is roughly equivalent to "father"!
Of course…

As far as Lu Yu was concerned, how could he know...

He has married Jinlan with Xiahou Dun, so...Xiahouyuan is also his good brother!

But...he regards Xia Houyuan as his eldest brother, but Xia Houyuan wants to be his father!

What a coincidence!Coincidentally!
deserve...

deserve...

now…

Whether it is the mountain road leading to Mount Tai or the official road leading to Xuzhou!
Horses are galloping, sand and rocks are flying, dust and smoke are all over the sky!
