Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 91 Sit back and watch, the wind is surging

Seeing that it is about to enter summer, the cicadas are singing endlessly, and the sun is good. It should be a happy day.

But... Zhen Yi couldn't be happy at all, so much so that his mood was already picked up, and his expression was a little bit wrong.

While reading the letter, he softly groaned: "The matter arranged by Guanzhu Liu is so urgent..."

Indeed, the letter sent by Liu Yu entrusted him to do a very urgent matter, counting the days, this matter must be completed within a few days, it is really urgent.

Concentrating his eyebrows, Zhen Yi noticed that Liu Bei was still there, and quickly asked: "Dare to ask Brother Xuande, what else did Guanzhu Liu explain?"

"Just ask Brother Zhen to follow the instructions on the letter, nothing else."

Liu Bei replied truthfully.

He asked Zhang Yulan about this matter in detail, but Zhang Yulan didn't know the contents of the letter, so naturally she had nothing to say.

only…

Seeing Zhen Yi's expression, Liu Bei didn't seem quite right.

You must know that Liu Bei’s family has been in decline and he has been selling straw sandals for so many years. Liu Bei has developed a very strong "mind hiding technique", and those who are good at hiding their minds are often very good at spying on other people's moods.

Judging from Zhen Yi's face, the task in this letter is not easy.

"Brother Zhen, if there is a need to use Liu Bei, it's okay..."

Zhen Yi looked at Liu Bei, his eyes flickering.

He asked curiously. "How did Brother Xuande meet Guanzhu Liu!"

this…

Liu Bei paused for a moment, then replied calmly. "To tell you the truth, Brother Zhen, Bei Jiu admired Guanzhu Liu's name, but on Yuan Keng's side, Guanzhu Liu doesn't know me, and he hasn't even heard my name, Liu Bei."

"Then..." Zhen Yi continued to ask.

Liu Bei told how to rescue Zhang Yulan, how Zhang Yulan entrusted her to each other, and how to give him the token of the Heavenly Master and her husband's letterhead.

Zhen Yi nodded again and again, "I see, I see. The last time Guanzhu Liu sent a letter, mentioning that he married a wife, I was particularly surprised. I never thought that this time..."

Having said this, Zhen Yi paused for a moment, and subconsciously asked a question.

"Then what kind of business does Brother Xuande have?"

"After King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, but his family has fallen, and he makes a living by weaving mats and selling shoes..."

"It doesn't matter. When I talk to Guanzhu Liu, he always sees 'Heroes don't ask where they come from'." Zhen Yi realized that he had gone astray, and immediately brought back to the topic: "Since Xuande is a person trusted by my younger siblings, I, Zhen Yi Trust me too, without further ado, brother Xuande will accompany me to meet someone."

"who?"

"A fool!"

"Human?" Liu Bei was startled.

Zhen Yi nodded.

"Please forgive me for not being able to tell too much, Xuande will know when he gets there!"

After finishing his words, Zhen Yi ordered someone to bring two good horses. The Hu people he wanted to meet were not far from Zhen's house, in Zhongshan country.

...

...

It was still sunny during the day, but at night, it suddenly started to rain heavily. It seemed that the heaven had foreseen the extraordinary night in advance.

Jieliang County, Hedong, a study in the Qin Mansion.

Several tribes stood in front of Qin Niu, and one of the leaders reported.

"My lord, everything is ready."

Qin Niu faced a set of Lanqi (weapon rack) and groaned softly. "Three days, today is the last day, proceed as planned!"

"Here!"

After a few parts agreed, they went to arrange.

Qin Niumo rubbed the huge emerald ring on his middle finger, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a strange and sinister smile emerged, and he whispered softly—"Guan Changsheng, I only blame you for meddling in my own business!"

Qin Yilu on the side frowned.

He pondered for a long time before opening his mouth. "Father... this move, this move violates..."

"Are you stupid for reading the books of saints?" Before Qin Yilu could say anything, Qin Niu Leng scolded his son immediately.

It seemed that Qin Niu had restrained his tone a lot since the words he had just said to his son were too harsh. "My son, you have to know that justice and axiom may exist, but... in this world, what father thinks first must be to keep our family alive!"

This…

For a while, Qin Yilu was silent.

He realized that all these years, if his father hadn't done such outrageous things, where would he go to study in the government?Where can I learn this Confucian classic?How to realize the so-called "justice" and "axiom"!

Some people are "daozu", and some people must become "fish and meat".

Fortunately, their Qin family was lucky enough to become a "daozu"...and Guan Changsheng, who has no background, can only be a fish to be slaughtered.

In this world, where are the so-called "axioms" and "justice"?
...

...

The guards of the Qin Mansion complained about the horrible weather, the heavy rain made the ground covered with mist.

Their shoes and socks were wet, and they were trembling involuntarily. They finally stayed up until late at night, thinking that the master's family had already fallen asleep, so they sneaked back to the duty room and set out some wine.

We are all nursing homes, so we naturally have many common topics.

Guan Yu also came to check the room to change his clothes. He didn't like this kind of excitement at first, but he couldn't stand the rainstorm and it was really cold, so he went to ask for a bowl of wine.

Seeing Guan Yu coming, Yigan Nursing House was quite enthusiastic, "Brother Guan, come and sit down..."

"Ask for a pot of wine, and return it tomorrow."

Guan Yu groaned softly.

Who would have thought that a group of nurses hurriedly pulled Guan Yu to the table, "Brother Guan rarely comes to drink, if you say that you don't pay it back, then you are out of the way, come on, dog, hide me in that small dish Bring the beef."

"There's no need to do that..." Guan Yu evaded.

The nurse spoke again: "Brother Guan is very skilled in martial arts. Every morning he practices martial arts in the courtyard. The little brother is really tickled when he sees it. It's just a small plate of beef and a few glasses of thin wine. What is this? If big brother Guan can teach you a little Half way, then... the younger brother brings good wine and good meat to Brother Guan every day, and it will work!"

These words almost lifted Guan Yu to the sky.

Guan Yu was a proud person in his heart, and he was very pleased when he heard this flattery. He stroked his beard and said, "It's easy to talk about martial arts!"

Without further delay, he took the wine bowl and drank it down in one gulp.

"It's cold, let's drink three bowls first, and I'll be a little brother apprentice!"

Nursing smiled and handed over another bowl...

Other nursing homes have also echoed. "Brother Guan, teach me some tricks too!"

"I heard that Brother Guan sold 'red jujubes' before he became a nursing home in the early years. When selling dates, he must beat them. I think Brother Guan's kung fu is also related to the fact that he has 'jujubes'?"

As the nursing home said, when Guan Yu was a child, his parents saved money for him to go to a private school, but Guan Yu's grades were a mess. He was only interested in "Spring and Autumn", and he carried "Spring and Autumn" with him wherever he went. It is the fantasy to become those heroes in "Spring and Autumn", who are strong in martial arts, hoe the strong and help the weak, and help the community!

Therefore... studies are wasted, and more thoughts are put on practicing martial arts.

By coincidence, I was taught the sword technique by the sword god "Tang Zhan", and I was fortunate enough to learn martial arts.

Unexpectedly, his parents died of illness, which made Guan Yu's poor family worse. In order to survive, he could only make a living by selling red dates.

To sell jujubes, it is necessary to "beat jujubes".

In the north, a long pole is used to beat jujubes.

Hitting jujubes is a bit similar to "cutting and chopping", but jujube trees are very flexible. He beat jujubes crazily every day. After a few years, Guan Yu has developed a lot of strength, and even his knife skills have become much more proficient.

He even mastered it well and created the "Spring and Autumn 36-way" saber technique, and he focused on practicing the first three sabers.

This is why, during the Three Kingdoms period, most of the generals who "fighted" with Guan Yu died tragically in the first three swords.

On the contrary, Lu Bu, Xiahou Dun, Huang Zhong, and Pang De, who Guan Yu can't win within three swords, will often fall into a protracted battle, and most likely it will end in a tie!
Of course, Guan Yu in the official history is not so exaggerated, but it is recognized that the explosive power of the first three swords is strong.

Although there are many people who have carried the first three knives, there are almost none who can beat Guan Yu in "single duel" and "fighting generals".

just,

Hearing "red jujube" and "beating jujube" this time, Guan Yu could not help but think of the evil... the dialogue between Du Xiaoe and Qin Yilu!

Immediately, there was a blush on the face.

He hurriedly drank a bowl of wine to cover his cheeks.

Because he knew the purpose of these nursing homes, he let down his guard and stopped being restrained. "If you want to practice martial arts, it's easy to say, just practice with me in the courtyard tomorrow morning, and I will teach you one or two tricks!"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and drank another full bowl...

"Brother Guan is huge..." After a group of nurses praised him again and again, a third bowl was served by the nurse.

Never thought, right now.

——"Ah... ah..."

A sharp cry came from the courtyard, Guan Yu stood up suddenly, his heart tightened suddenly, because...he was so familiar with this voice, but it wasn't Du Xiaoe's scream?Who else?

——"No, no, don't come here, don't come here..."

——"Help, help..."

——"Help me...save..."

The screaming sounded again, which also made Guan Yu's heart tugged even more.

Speaking of which, for several days in a row, he didn't have a good rest, and whenever he closed his eyes, what he thought of was Du Xiaoe's suffering and physical devastation.

Guan Yu struggled countless times deep in his heart, and he wished he could kill "Qin Niu" and save Du Xiaoe's fate.

But... After all, he couldn't make up his mind.

Guan Yu just turned 19 years old this year. Although he has a long beard, his character is far from the "toughness" of his [-]th year. He is still in the morale of character formation.

——It is unjust to kill the master!

——It can be seen that death will not be saved, and seeing women and children being bullied without moving, this is not unrighteous, but unworthy of human beings!

"Bang lang lang lang!"

The wine bowl in Guan Yu's hand was pressed heavily on the table, and his Danfeng eyes were full of anger.

"Brother Guan, it seems that this voice is... from your yard... it's... Mrs. Du..."

A guard reminded Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was heartbroken, and without further hesitation, he took his saber and strode towards the courtyard...

At this moment, the guards narrowed their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, and finally fixed their eyes on the empty wine bowl.

When the eyes meet, everything is silent.

...

...

Zhongshan Country, Wuji County.

The rain has been falling non-stop, the rain is gurgling outside the window, and there is a slight human voice in a farm near Zhongshan Lake.

"Although the time is a bit short, but...the conditions you proposed, we cannot refuse!"

"I will report to Shan Yu as soon as possible, and do everything according to your requirements!"

An old man in black groaned softly.

Immediately, he picked up the pen and wrote something in the bamboo slips on the table, like a contract.

"make a deal!"

Zhen Yi nodded and signed his signature.

"Happy cooperation..."

The old man in black clenched fists with Zhen Yi, but Zhen Yi seemed to have thought of something. "One more question, recently in Jieliang County, Hedong, a group of horsemen robbed merchants? But your people?"

The old man shook his head. "We haven't raided south in decades."

"Then? Could it be the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes?"

Zhen Yi asked again.

"This..." The old man in black hesitated for a moment, but shook his head again. "Even if they went south to plunder, Xianbei and Wuhuan would never choose spring. Mr. Zhen might as well recall the season when Xianbei and Wuhuan went south in the past."

Oh…

Zhen Yi nodded, and immediately cupped his hands. "The conditions proposed by my son are generous enough, and it's time for my son to see your sincerity!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say..."

"Farewell!" Zhen Yi walked out of the room with Liu Bei without further hesitation.

The rain is still falling...

Liu Bei was at a loss. The two of them put on bamboo hats and coir raincoats. Liu Bei asked curiously, "Is this the barbarian that Brother Zhen mentioned? It seems that the negotiation between Brother Zhen and him went well."

"He is a Hu merchant who came from the Southern Huns, and many of the horses he hoarded before were purchased from him." Zhen Yi briefly introduced.

This…

Liu Bei was stunned, his face full of astonishment: "Brother Zhen has already made the business to the territory of the Southern Huns! But..."

Liu Bei didn't blurt out a word...

No wonder he was surprised.

Hu and Han business contacts, this is nothing, it is commonplace...But both Hu and Han merchants adhere to an absolute bottom line, that is, Han people will never sell iron to Hu people, and Hu people will never sell good horses to Han people .

This is related to the combat power of both sides, so... this one, almost no merchant dares to touch it.

However, the Zhen family was able to buy Huma from the territory of the Southern Huns?
This…

This is simply incredible!
Zhen Yi realized that there was something in Liu Bei's words, and immediately patted him on the shoulder. "Brother Xuande, don't be surprised. According to Guanzhu Liu's vision, sooner or later, the Southern Huns will submit to Guanzhu Liu's 'commercial sanctions'."

"Commercial sanctions?" Liu Bei groaned softly, and immediately said with emotion: "Brother Zhen, my hometown is in Youzhou, which is a border land. I know these barbarians are capricious. How difficult it is to get them to obey...let alone business?"

"Haha!" Zhen Yi smiled heartily. "Brother Xuande is right, but now...a letter sent by brother Xuande can already influence the behavior of the Southern Huns. This is the threat Liu Guanzhu has made to them in terms of 'business'."

Speaking of this..."Hahaha..." Zhen Yi was still laughing, and while laughing, he said softly: "Guard Liu has a lot of ideas, and they have been tricked to deal with these barbarians, and they are still counting money for Guanzhu Liu Woolen cloth!"

Speaking of here…

Zhen Yi raised his whip. "It's not too late, Brother Xuande, let's go back first... Wait for the good news!"

"But..." Liu Bei still had a series of questions in his mind.

The biggest question is, why did the Southern Huns obey Guanzhu Liu?
He still wanted to ask a question, but Zhen Yi was already galloping.

The horseshoes passed by, splashing countless water splashes...

"drive…"

Liu Bei could only look back at the farm for the last time, thinking about it, he immediately gave a soft cry and chased after him.

The development of the situation... made him even more confused!
Simply, Liu Bei didn't think too much, and in this country of Zhongshan, sit and watch Luoyang city be surging!

of course.

Even Liu Bei didn't expect that it was not Luoyang City that was surging first, but Jieliang County, not far from him.

The Guan Changsheng who made him feel like old friends at first sight, holding a knife, stepped into Du Xiaoe's boudoir!
