Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 508: The Mountain Wuling River is exhausted, and the winter thunder shakes the summer rain and snow

Bingzhou, Hukou Pass.

This pass is as famous as Shangdang Pass and Shixing Pass, and it is also known as one of the three passes in this era. At this moment, the cold wind is howling!

Outside the pass, a force of 5 troops is galloping forward.

The leader, a red-robed and red-horse warrior, came out of the mountains first, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, showing a chilling aura.

But it's not Lu Bu...

No...it should be called General Shadow.

But not General Shadow?Who else?
In stark contrast to this army of 5 people is the armor displayed at Hukou Pass. At this moment, hundreds of thousands of armor are displayed at Hukou Pass.

There are [-] defenders stationed on the towers of the pass, bowing their bows and shooting arrows, as if... they want to respond to the invading enemy with a blow.

They are the troops of Yuan Jun, led by Han Meng, the sixth general after Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Qu Yi in the northern border...

Bingzhou has fallen. According to Yuan Shang's order, Han Meng's 10 people must be stationed at the Hukou Pass to prevent the opening of the western front gate and Cao Jun's second battlefield.

This is the biggest concession made by Yuan Ying, and the troops are concentrated at this point!
call…

At this moment, Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's painted halberd, and the three armies stopped.

He looked up at the checkpoint and let out a moan.

"Is this the Hukou Pass? Compared to Yanmen, it's not too far behind!"

Standing under the pass, Lu Bu's eyes were condensed. This Hukou Pass...is as tall, majestic and majestic as Yanmen Pass. The so-called one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it probably means this.

"Shadow General? This pass doesn't look easy to attack!"

Beside Lu Bu is Yang Xiu.

Looking at the pass that was several feet higher than the city wall of Xu Capital, Yang Xiu murmured in his heart.

Of course, Lu Bu wanted to make meritorious deeds, he wanted to break through the westbound barrier from Bingzhou, and open up a second battlefield, which could be regarded as atonement for his daughter. Yang Xiu understood this feeling...

It's one thing to be able to understand it, but another thing to be able to beat it.

"Scared?"

Lu Bu looked back at Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu spread his hands. "It's not me, what am I afraid of?"

After saying this, Lu Bu looked at Lu Lingqi on the other side again, "Do you dare to fight?"

"It's just a checkpoint, why not dare?"

Lu Lingqi bit her lips with her teeth. Since she was a child, she had been fantasizing about fighting side by side with her father. Today... her wish is fulfilled, why isn't she excited in her heart?

Ha ha…

Lu Bu smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a silent sentence in the smile-a tiger father has no dog daughter!

"The three armies are resting, and we will attack the key point tomorrow!"

Lu Bu faintly recited a sentence...

This…

Yang Xiu rolled his eyes, and he opened his mouth quickly.

"General Shadow, you seem to be better at field battles than attacking tough ones!"

"Hehe..." Lu Bu sneered. "Am I better at field combat? Why don't I know?"

Speaking of this, he stopped talking, but took people to set up camp...

Lu Lingqi did not forget to glare at Yang Xiu.

Leaving a sentence of "coward", he also followed his father on horseback.

Yang Xiu scratched his head, he suddenly felt like a dog, he felt that this Hukou Pass could not be conquered at all!

at this time…

"Young Master Yang..." A Long Xiao knight handed a blank piece of paper to Yang Xiu. "General Shadow asked me to give this to you, saying that it is a special kit."

Hmm... kit?
Yang Xiu unfolded the big white paper very slowly. He subconsciously thought that this paper was passed by Mr. Lu.

But the handwriting doesn't look like it, it's a bit like "Feibaishu" in seal script. Is this handwriting the same as that old man Zhong Yao?
Haven't reacted yet...

Yang Xiu's eyes were attracted by the content on the white paper.

"Good guy..."

Yang Xiu called him a good guy, and he looked at Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi who were going away speechlessly: "Dare you... the last one to know this important information is me, Yang Xiu?"

"Hey... Why did the teacher send this old boy here?"

Speaking of here…

and many more.

Yang Xiu noticed a very crucial piece of information in the white paper.

"Li... Liyang City is... going to be broken? The day of my teacher's wedding is... the time when Liyang City is broken!"

Yang Xiu's eyeballs must be.

He felt a little dizzy, and his eyes were a little dazed...

Of course, the current situation can be said to affect the whole body.

Liyang City was Cao Cao's first battlefield from Yanzhou to the north;

And the Hukou Pass on their side is the second battlefield for Bingzhou's westward advance. These two battlefields are independent of each other, but they are intertwined.

With a "gudong", Yang Xiu swallowed.

After reading this letter, he suddenly felt that the Hukouguan...if it is not evenly secured, it can really be broken!
...

...

The wedding is imminent.

Talented men from Yingchuan, meritorious deeds from Qiao Pei, civil and military officials... Countless congratulatory gifts are piled up in Baimahou Mansion.

Familiar faces, unfamiliar faces, familiar faces, and unfamiliar faces lined up to visit Bai Mahou, and Cai Zhaoji was so busy that she was dizzy.

This is actually quite understandable.

For an ordinary courtier.

Marquis Baima got married, logically speaking, they were not relatives or relatives, and it was something that they couldn't get along with each other.

Naturally, no gifts are required.

But the key question is, other people are not familiar with Baimahou, they all gave it away, will you give it away?
But don't forget, Lu Ziyu is not only a Marquis, he is also a royal doctor, who is in charge of the school affairs office and supervises all officials... If someone else gave it to him, why don't you give it to him?Isn't this disrespecting the imperial envoy doctor?

If you are not monitored in the future, who will be monitored?

And among these officials and lords, who doesn't have anything shameful in their hearts?
Exactly, it's not just one person who thinks like this, but almost everyone, every time they come and go, everyone has to send congratulatory gifts...

It rolled up all at once.

Of course... Lu Yu didn't know these things, and even saw many names on the gift list for the first time, and the gifts were so expensive.

Can't help but make Lu Yu feel that there is something wrong with the life style of some officials, and he has to send the school affairs office to investigate.

Of course, there is no rush at this moment.

The big wedding in the Hou's Mansion is tomorrow... According to Lu Yu's idea, tonight, I will bring the brothers from the Longxiao Camp, book all the brothels and red houses in Xudu City, and call on all the ladies and sisters who sell skills in this city.

In any case, he, Lu Yu, is married, so he can't give some benefits to his brothers?
only…

Before the joyous single night started, Lu Yu heard bad news. Lao Cao invited Lu Yu to the prime minister's mansion for a talk.

A narrative...

Tell him about his uncle!
Talk about a hammer!

Lu Yu was very confused, he felt that Lao Cao really picked his time, and the planned bachelor night was completely ruined.

...

...

Xu Capital City, Prime Minister's Mansion.

The study room was lit with elegant incense, and there was a light rain outside the study room. Several bamboo slips were piled up on the table. Cao Cao, Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Cao Chong were all here.

Cao Zhi came back from Xuzhou specially to attend President Lu's wedding.

As for Cao Chong, regardless of his small size, he blinked his big eyes, looking forward to meeting his future master.

And Cao Pi, he seems to have something on his mind.

Indeed, ever since he heard the change in the position of the eldest son mentioned by his father, and knew that Cao Ang was out of the game, his heart was already a little restless.

He has been thinking about how to get close to Lu Yu, or... how to win Lu Yu over.

Cao Ang was the calmest, turning his head to look outside the door from time to time, as if he was waiting for his master Lu Yu!

During this period of time, Cao Cao simply asked questions to test his sons.

"Lu Ziyu and the two wives of the Marquis House? This incident is the first of its kind in history. What do you think..."

Uh...how can I see it?
Cao Zhang scratched his head first. "The child doesn't understand what the father said. The child thinks that as long as it is not lying down, standing, sitting, or looking up, it doesn't matter how you look at it!"

Uh…

Cao Cao was taken aback by Cao Zhang's words, and immediately burst out laughing "haha".

Cao Zhang was called "Huang Xuer" by Cao Cao. He liked to dance with guns and clubs since he was a child. He stayed in the army at a very young age and trained with soldiers.

In his opinion, as long as the fists are hard enough and there are enough soldiers, all fancy plots and tricks will be in vain!

And he is also the son who has the least contact with counselors and scholars, and even Lu Yu. He is the only son who has not prepared a gift for the marriage of the Houfu.

"Ziyou? What do you think?" Cao Cao changed the topic to Cao Ang.

this…

Cao Ang thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"I don't know, I just think Mr. Lu deserves to be able to marry Princess Wannian and Sister Juan alone. In today's world, perhaps only such an outstanding person as Mr. Lu can get this 'two wives of a marquis'." This honor makes us disciples quite envious."

Cao Cao was noncommittal, he turned his back and turned to Cao Pi.

"Zihuan? What do you think?"

"I…"

The conversation was brought to Cao Pi's side. Cao Pi seemed to have thought of something, but in the end he still didn't speak.

"What the elder brother said is what the child wants to say!"

"Aren't you envious?" Cao Cao added another question.

Cao Pi shook his head. "My fair lady, a gentleman is good. As my brother said, President Lu has made countless contributions. The two wives of a Marquis family complement each other! Comparing a child to him is like a firefly candle compared to a bright sun. I am envious. Not even qualified!"

Ha ha…

Cao Pi's answer made Cao Cao faintly laugh.

Self-knowledge is the best!

This is good for you, and good for Yuer!
I was planning to continue asking Cao Zhi.

Unexpectedly, Cao Chong spoke first.

"Father, the child wants to talk."

"Chong'er wants to talk, so let's talk about it." Hearing Cao Chong's words, Cao Cao squatted down, very curious.

Cao Chong said loudly: "Brothers say that Chief Lu deserves the two wives of the Marquis Mansion and envies Chief Lu, but my son thinks this is wrong, very wrong!"

Huh... big mistake!
Cao Chong's words were astonishing.

Even Cao Cao was taken aback.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Cao Cao continued to ask.

Cao Chong's eyes were fixed, and he continued: "The child is still young, and he doesn't know too much about the love between men and women, but in the Yuefu that he has heard, there is no one that can compare with the beauty of the love story between 'Zhuo Wenjun' and 'Sima Xiangru' !"

"It is said that when you see a beautiful woman, you will never forget it. If you don't see her for a day, you will miss it like crazy. Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun fell in love at first sight, and once they came and went, they made a private decision for life. This is the beauty of love. Even if the world does not tolerate it, two people We are very lucky for each other.”

"Han Yuefu's "Rao Song" also tells about evil! I want to know you, and my life will never end. There are no hills in the mountains, the rivers are exhausted, the winter thunders are shaking, the summer is raining and snowing, the heaven and the earth are united, and I dare to die with you."

Don't look at Cao Chong as small, but when it comes to love, he speaks clearly...

Of course, his so-called "love" is the love in the book.

Having said this, he paused.

"Obviously, Director Lu's 'two wives of the same family' has abandoned the original 'willing to have one heart, never leave each other', which is a great dedication and check and balance!"

"President Lu is willing to do this. This is sacrificing his love in exchange for the great reconciliation between the father and the emperor, and Cao Ying and the Han court. In this way, how can anyone be envied? It's not so much envy as it is touching I was moved by Chief Lu's dedication, moved by Chief Lu's high position, but respected the arrangements of his father and the emperor, and did not make decisions for himself. Is this a pity? How could it be envy?"

Huo…

Cao Chong's words gave people a sense of enlightenment.

Good guy, according to what Cao Chong said, Lu Ziyu married two, it was a grievance, it was moved, it was a fearless dedication!

However, what Cao Chong said made sense!

Marrying two at a time is really wronging Lu Yu!
"Clap clap clap..."

At this moment, applause came from outside the door.

All the sons turned their heads to look outside the door, only to find that the person outside the door was none other than Lu Yu!
Cao Cao also noticed him and beckoned immediately.

"Say Ziyu, Ziyu will come, come..."

Cao Cao was very enthusiastic...

Frankly speaking, since Lu Yu returned to Xu Capital City, he was either deploying the Northern Expedition, or preparing for a big wedding. Strictly speaking, this was the first time he met Cao Cao!
In fact, Cao Cao didn't have any major matters. He wanted to discuss with him, but his son was getting married tomorrow, and he wanted to see his son the night before.

"Meet Prime Minister Cao..."

Lu Yu still maintained his inherent modesty, and he bowed his hands to Cao Cao.

Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Chong saluted Lu Yu.

"Meet Chief Lu..."

But Cao Zhang was the only one who didn't fit in with the atmosphere here.

"Ziyu just applauded for Chong'er?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

"Naturally." Lu Yu nodded. "It's just that I never thought that the one who can understand me, Lu Yu, is actually Mr. Chong. He is indeed the smartest among the young masters of Prime Minister Cao!"

"Don't dare..." Cao Chong hastily waved his hands. "Chong'er is just talking nonsense."

"What nonsense?" Lu Yu smiled slightly.

Originally, we were still talking about this topic, but Cao Cao changed the subject. Now that Yu'er is here and the young masters are here, he plans to talk about a more sensitive topic.

"Whether it's Ziyu's credit or Ziyu's dedication, the two ladies of the Yimen Hou's Mansion, anyway, the dust has settled, so I won't talk about it. It just so happens that my sons are all here, so Ziyu might as well be with them." Talk about the gentry!"

It was not on a whim that Cao Cao mentioned this.

From the conversations with Yu'er in the past, Cao Cao could feel that Yu'er deliberately made a fuss about the "gentry", including his proposal of dividing the household into the mu and the abolition of the poll tax. One of the "gentry"!
But implementing it will be difficult.

At least now, it seems that it is far from the time, and Cao Cao even feels that in his generation... it may not be possible.

嗏

He, Cao Cao, not only has Yu'er, but also Ang'er, Pi'er, Zhang'er, Zhi'er...and the smartest Chong'er.

Cao Cao's vision is that he will unify the world. As for the reform after the unification of the world, Yu'er will lead these brothers to complete it.

That's it...

This seemingly ordinary sentence actually contains Cao Cao's infinite expectations for his sons!

This…

Mention the gentry.

All the sons pricked up their ears. In this era, they will not know...

This is an era when aristocratic families monopolize official careers and land!

The power of the gentry, especially the power of the wealthy gentry, is simply incredible.

Again, this topic is extremely sensitive...

Although I don't know why my father chose to chat with Mr. Lu the day before his wedding, anyway... this topic is very interesting to all the young masters.

And Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and he didn't understand what Lao Cao was doing.

But the atmosphere is already here, so let's just talk about it, it can be regarded as a vaccination for the young masters in advance!
Their biggest opponent has never been the Yuan family in the north, the Sun family in the Eastern Wu, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, or Liu Zhang in Yizhou.

Compared with these guys, the harm and energy of the gentry are ten times, a hundred times greater!
And first...

Lu Yu asked a question that seemed completely out of place.

"Do you guys know which noble family has the greatest influence in the world today?"

"Runan Yuan family?"

Cao Ang spoke subconsciously.

"wrong!"

"Then... the Hongnong Yang family? Or the Hanoi Sima family?" Cao Zhi added.

"No!" Lu Yu shook his head. "It is true that the fourth generation and third father of the Yuan family once protected the party members of the world during the disaster of the party, and were regarded as the leaders of the world!"

"During the reign of Emperor Ling, He Jin, his relative, was the general and the leader of the warriors in the world, while Yuan Wei was the grand tutor, and he was the leader of the scholars in the world! The Yuan family was indeed brilliant in the past, but when it comes to their current status, they are no longer the best. Influential gentry!"

"As for the Hongnong Yang family, even if it is the fifth generation and three lords, it has already declined! Hebei Sima's disciples and old officials are all over the world, but...they are still inferior to the Yuan family, and they are even less likely to be the most influential gentry in the world today! "

"Then..." Cao Chong rolled his eyes and blurted out immediately. "It's the Yingchuan Xun family..."

"That's right!" Lu Yu nodded immediately. "Then let me ask again, why in our Cao Ying, under Prime Minister Cao's command, can the Yingchuan Xun family recommend so many talents?"

This…

Cao Chong shook his head, unable to answer.

Lu Yu turned his eyes to the other young masters.

All of them bowed their heads in silence, as if they were unfamiliar with this question.

As for Cao Cao... It seems that he didn't know the details, but he simply thought that Xun Yu had a good eye!
Lu Yu smiled slightly, and answered carefully:

"Because the gentry network in Yingchuan is extremely large, Xun Lingjun is from Yingchuan, Zhong Yao is from Yingchuan, Chen Qun is from Yingchuan, Guo Jia is from Yingchuan, Xizhi is from Yingchuan, Sima Yi is not from Yingchuan , but his grandfather was the prefect of Yingchuan."

"Sixty years ago, Xun Lingjun's grandfather Xun Shu, Chen Qun's grandfather Chen Shi, Zhong Yao's great-grandfather Zhong Hao, and Han Fu's ancestor Han Shao all served as county magistrates in Yingchuan. Collectively known as the 'Four Chiefs of Yingchuan', it was also from then on that the four families of Xun, Zhong, Chen, and Han became a veritable Yingchuan gentry!"

Lu Yu's chatterbox opened...

"Cough cough..."

He cleared his throat, ready to speak carefully!

It is related to the Yingchuan gentry, the water here is very deep, the bottomless kind.

Today, anyway, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai are not here, so Lu Yu scooped up all the water, let Lao Cao, and let you young masters, get a glimpse of the whole leopard...

From the energy and relationship network of the Yingchuan gentry, it can be seen that the great Han world...behind the appearance of feudal lords' disputes, there are countless huge energies of the gentry hidden!
