Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1 Shen's Prodigy
If I were an ordinary farmer living an ordinary life in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, there was me who was wielding an ordinary hoe, planted ordinary land, struggled against the harsh natural environment, and carefully guarded against the harassment of warlords from all walks of life.

In the distance, there was the sound of an army's hooves approaching. Everyone crouched down with their heads in their hands in fear. I only hope that the army we met was Liu Shijun's army horse.

——From a netizen at Station B, eating Bingbing’s Meow Sauce.

In the fourth year of Chuping, in the autumn of 193 A.D., Cao Cao sent troops to attack Tao Qian on the pretext of avenging his father. Yuan Shao sent his general Zhu Lingdu to help him with the third battalion.

After Cao Jun entered Xuzhou, he successively attacked more than ten cities. Cao Yujin conquered Guangwei and went along Surabaya to Pengcheng.The striker Cao Ren attacked Tao Qian's general Lu You, and after defeating the enemy, he joined forces with Cao Cao.

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian led his army to meet Cao Jun in Pengcheng, but was defeated. He had to flee Pengcheng and surrender to Tancheng in the East China Sea.

Cao Jun took the opportunity to break through Pengcheng, Fuyang, Wuyuan and other places.

At that time, refugees from all over the country were attached to Tao Qian, and most of them were in Pengcheng. This time when they met Cao Cao's army, they were all killed.People were driven into the Sishui River and drowned, and the corpses blocked the river, so that the river could not flow.

In the spring of the next year, Cao Cao attacked again, stationed troops in Pengcheng, eyeing Xuzhou covetously, and threatened to kill Tao Qian to avenge his father.

At the same time, the Zhuge clan in Langya also began to migrate south.

Zhuge Xuanchu was Liu Biao's subordinate official. He was ordered by Liu Biao to send an envoy to the Han court to convey the general situation of Jingzhou. Before leaving, he learned that his cousin Zhuge Gui had died of illness, so he asked Liu Biao to go to Mount Tai to take care of Zhuge Gui's funeral after completing his mission.

Liu Biao agreed to his request, so after the mission to Chang'an was over, he rushed all the way to Xuzhou to take care of Zhugegui's widow and children.

At that time, communication was inconvenient, and Zhuge Gui died of illness at the end of the sixth year of Zhongping, that is, in 189 AD.

It was the third year since Zhuge Xuan heard the news. He went to Chang'an as an envoy, first returned to Jingzhou to report to Liu Biao, and then returned to Xuzhou to Langya Kingdom. After traveling thousands of kilometers, he did not arrive in Xuzhou until the fourth year of Chuping.

Unexpectedly, after Zhuge Xuan returned to Xuzhou, it happened that Cao Cao sent troops to conquer Tao Qian. In order to avoid the disaster of war, he took Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jun and two nieces with him, and dispersed with Zhuge Jin who was going to Jiangdong, and fled all the way south to Lujiang.

So in the first year of Xingping, in the spring of 194 A.D., 13-year-old Zhuge Liang moved his family south with his uncle Zhuge Xuan.

Xiangben County is located about fifty miles northwest of Shan County, separated by Yishui River.

The bleak early spring is still chilly, the withered and yellow land is gradually returning to spring, the dense branches and leaves of the mountains and forests are luxuriant, last year's wheat has been harvested in the endless fields, and the villagers are busy in the fields, starting to plant this year's new millet.

In the northeast of Xiangben County near Yishui Huangmen Pavilion, at the foot of Huangshan Mountain in the north of the pavilion, there is a village.

The village in the Han Dynasty was not called XX Village, but XX Ju. The place was called Zangyangju, which got its name because it was located in the south of Zanshan Mountain. Zangshan Mountain was later named Chuangshan Mountain, which was already very close to Shan County.

There are mainly two surnames living in Zhuangyangju. One is the Xinye Deng family. In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the Deng family was very favored and the family was extremely prosperous, represented by Deng Yu, Deng Chen and Deng Han.The cumulative number of dukes is extremely large, with 2 dukes, 13 generals, and 29 marquises, and there was no such thing as the Eastern Han dynasty.

But this situation changed after the death of Empress Dowager Deng. When Emperor An was in charge, the eunuch Jiang Jing and others collected charges and framed the Deng family as obstructing Emperor An’s rule. The members of the Deng family moved out of Kyoto and their hometown one after another, and scattered all over the country.

The other family is the Shen family of Gushi. The Shen family originated from the Ji surname. Ji Zai, the son of King Wen of the Western Zhou Dynasty, was entrusted to Shen, and the ancient city was located in the north of Pingyu, Henan in later generations.Later, the State of Shen was destroyed, and hundreds of years later, the State of Shenzi was established in the southeast of Gushi and northwest of Ruyin.

Later, due to many wars in the Warring States Period, the end of the Qin Dynasty, and the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Shen family of Gushi began to migrate to the southeast in order to avoid the disaster of war. Most of them went to Yangzhou, Xuzhou and other places, and one of them went to Xiangben County in the East China Sea. There are about a few people. Hundreds of people have lived here peacefully for generations.

Speaking of which, the Shen family moved here earlier than the Deng family, but the Deng family has been a distinguished family for many generations and has a prominent family status, so it gradually became the leader of the local people. The clan accumulated as a manor.

Deng and Shen lived together in Zhuangyang, intermarried with each other, and most of the people in the surrounding townships were headed by Deng and Shen. Therefore, although the second family of Deng and Shen could not be said to belong to aristocratic families in Xuzhou, at least they were quite influential in Xiangben County. prestige.

Maybe in a few years, the surrounding fields will expand a bit more, and maybe Deng's family can be regarded as a strong man in Xiangben.

However, since spring of this year, the prodigy of the Shen family started to go crazy for some unknown reason. He repeatedly asked the elders of the Deng and Shen clans to give up their land and move the whole family south to Jingzhou.

The people in the clan were quite critical of this matter, although Shen Chen was really smart, he was only eight years old this year, and his speech and behavior were no different from adults, but how could such a thing as family relocation be listened to the opinion of a child?
Therefore, this matter is just nonsense that the tribe regards as a child prodigy, and no one pays attention to it. Some people even often say that the child prodigy has been absent in recent years, so he has gradually become insane.

Only Shen Chen himself, seeing the indifference of the villagers, became increasingly depressed.

On March [-]th, late spring, when the news of Cao Cao stationing troops in Pengcheng came from the merchants, Shen Chen fell into a state of restlessness.

Cao Cao is coming to massacre Xuzhou this year, men and women, old and young, how can he make people feel at ease?

After he came out of the house after having breakfast, he walked around outside the house with a serious expression on his face. The son of the neighbor next door has already become a family labor force at the age of 12. When he went out with a hoe, he saw him walking outside the house and smiled. Said: "Ah Chen, you're not going to cut pigweed, you're still hanging out, watch out for your Ah Weng to beat you."

"Foolishness!"

Shen Chen scolded: "What do the villagers know? When the catastrophe is imminent, they don't know the time of death is coming. When Cao Cao comes, the whole county will be slaughtered by him!"

"Going crazy again."

The neighbor's son shook his head and left. In the past, Shen Chen was the pride of their group of children, and everyone was willing to listen to him, but in the past two months, he has become the laughing stock of the villagers.

Only Shen Chen became more anxious, and walked quickly to a high-rise courtyard in the village.

Knowing that Shen Chen came again, Deng Hong thought about it and let him in. Speaking of which, we are all relatives. Shen Chen's mother, Mrs. Deng, is Deng Hong's niece. Shen Chen still had to call him sixth uncle. It's really not good outside the door.

After passing through the vestibule and the main room to the atrium, Deng Hong was already waiting for him in the corridor of the atrium. Seeing him coming, he beckoned, "Ah Chen, come and sit down."

"Sixth Uncle!"

Shen Chen went up respectfully and bowed his hands in salute.

In fact, Deng Hong is not very old, only 26 years old, and belongs to the direct line of Yaofang in the Deng clan.

It’s just a good old saying, Yaofang produces elders, although Deng Hong is not very old, his seniority is very high, so at present, there are more than 40 members of the Deng clan in the Zangyangju area, and he is the leader.

After Shen Chen saluted, Deng Hong called him over and sat down, touched his head and said, "Ah Chen, what are you doing here today?"

Shen Chen said seriously: "Sixth Uncle, I invite Deng and Shen to discuss the second clan."

Deng Hong's face changed slightly: "It's such a big matter to open a clan discussion, how can you, an eight-year-old child, be able to open it?"

"So I invite the sixth uncle to come forward!"

Shen Chen looked at him with piercing eyes and said: "This matter concerns the lives of the Deng and Shen clans and the surrounding people with more than [-] households and thousands of people. Please listen to my sixth uncle carefully."
