Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 248 Eating this crispy cake requires vision and courage
Sun Ruben accompanied Lu Xun in the tent.

Lu Xun was not the only one surprised by the sudden appearance of Bu Zhi and Lu Meng, Sun Ru was also dazed and frightened.

Especially when Bu Zhi mentioned the sentence "Lu Boyan took his wife with him when he went out to fight, Wu Hou's jaw was already shocked", Sun Ru became even more nervous.

And because of the eight characters "He who lives from grandchildren, and dies from scholars", the entire big tent was once silent.

Bu Zhi smiled and called "Bo Yan", then cast a glance at Sun Ru, pretending to be surprised and asked: "Just now Zi Ming and I were abrupt, didn't I bother you?"

Lu Xun hurriedly cupped his hands: "There is no disturbance, it's just that we are far away."

Bu Zhi waved his hands and said with a smile, "Oh, you and I are both under the order of Marquis Wu, so I won't say much about greetings."

While speaking, Bu Zhi took out Marquis Wu's edict, "I'm here to comfort General Lu on Marquis Wu's behalf."

Lu Xun hurriedly pulled Sun Ru to kneel down, "I thank Marquis Wu for his concern."

Bu Zhi unfolded the imperial edict, "The lonely relatives went to Ruxu and attacked Hefei. Now that the Wei army has retreated and Hefei has been settled, I don't know how the war will be going. The appointment in January, attacking Jiaozhi, Bo Yan agreed to the appointment, the words are still in my ears, and I look forward to Jiaozhou On the day of Ping Ding, Gu and Qing drank together before the winter solstice. People say that the weather is cold when the autumn wind blows, but Gu thinks that the winter wind is even colder, so I take advantage of the aftertaste of the Double Ninth Festival for a long time to give Qing "cornel wine" and "buguishou medicine" ', Wang Qing is kind and cherishes herself."

A waiter behind him came forward with a tray in his hand. Lu Xun took it with a choked head, and said, "In the battle of Hefei, Cao Wei was defeated. God bless Soochow. Let the last general fail, and the Marquis of Wu will take the blame, and the last general will be guilty." Damn it!"

Bu Zhi helped Lu Xun up and said with a smile: "During the Double Ninth Festival, Marquis Wu and Lu Boyan spent the festive season together. At the time of the winter solstice, Marquis Wu is still looking forward to drinking fine wine with Bo Yan, but...Bo Yan is stationed here for several days. , didn’t make any progress, this doesn’t look like trying to break Cochin before the winter solstice!”

Lu Xun lowered his head and asked: "If, in the end, we can't break through Jiaozhi as scheduled, what should we do?"

"How?" Buzhi suddenly laughed, "Hahaha...Bo Yan really knows how to joke. Wu Hou specially sent General Lu Meng to Jiaozhou to collect money and food for you in Nanhai and Cangwu counties. For those who are brave, Jiaozhou has not fought for decades, and the entire army is vulnerable from top to bottom, so they can't break through Jiaozhi as scheduled? Hehe, unless Boyan doesn't want to, otherwise? How is it possible?"

Having said that, Bu Zhi glanced at Lu Meng.

Lu Meng was also fearful, and he quickly added: "Yes, if Bo Yan can't break through Jiaozhi, doesn't it seem that you, the vanguard general, and me, the quartermaster, are incompetent... Besides, when Cao Cao returns, he will definitely fight in Huainan and Soochow. There is a big war, Wu Hou will bear the pressure of the northern and southern wars at the same time, Boyan must also be considerate of Wu Hou!"

Lu Xun smiled wryly and said: "The Lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister, it is the crime of the minister!"

Bu Zhi joked, "Bo Yan, don't blame yourself, besides you, who else can win the land of Jiaozhou for Marquis Wu?"

This question was just raised, and Bu Zhi went on to add a sentence, as if asking and answering himself:

"Couldn't it be that I'm a stallion? If it were me, wouldn't that be driving ducks to the shelves? Hahaha, there are still many places in Soochow that can rely on Boyan!"

Bu Zhi's tone was joking, but the words in it were tantamount to touching Lu Xun deeply, which made Lu Xun feel even more heavy.

Seeing the cold atmosphere, Sun Ru hurriedly said.

"The tents of the two generals have been arranged, you might as well go and rest for a while."

"Alright!" Bu Zhi looked at Lu Meng.

So, Lu Xun accompanied Bu Zhi and Lu Meng to their camp.

The two walked through the camp, and seeing the soldiers standing tall and standing tall with swords and halberds, Bu Zhi couldn't help asking Lu Meng, "How does this Lu family army compare with Ziming's trilogy?"

"Half of the Lu family's army is a series carefully selected and trained by the Lu family from generation to generation..." Lu Meng said, "The other half comes from Shanyue. They are tiger and wolf divisions who are good at mountain and forest warfare and water warfare. How about my troops? Can it compete with the Lu Family Army?"

Bu Zhi lowered his voice and said with emotion: "Such an army of tigers and wolves is only setting up camp and not attacking... Does Ziming think it's a pity?"

"It's a pity!" Lu Meng also expressed deep emotion.

While talking, Bu Zhi looked sideways at Lu Xun, and asked suspiciously: "Bo Yan, I really can't see you through. What are you worried about? Are you worried about Lu Ji and Lu Gongji?"

At the end, Bu Zhi's voice suddenly lowered, and he said in a very light and thin voice: "Aren't you the one who most wants Lu Ji to be sacrificed to the flag?

These words blurted out... Lu Xun was startled, he paused, and looked at Bu Zhi in a daze.

But Bu Zhi sighed with an "ah" and said, "Marquis Wu is very impatient with Jiaozhou, so he asked me to supervise the army and the governor Lu Meng to be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass. Every day, Marquis Wu's patience weakens." one cent."

"If I were you, Lu Boyan, I would definitely abandon those nonsense at this time, and take down Jiaozhou first, otherwise, if you really wait a month later... If you still haven't made any progress, then you will definitely regret and suffer more than today!"

Bu Zhi is a relative, but strictly speaking, he is also a member of the Huaisi exile faction.

This faction has always maintained good relations with the local clans...

Based on this, he didn't want anything to happen to Lu Xun either.

After all, among the children of the younger generation, Lu Xun can be regarded as the best.

Hearing this, Lu Xun replied calmly but firmly: "Thank you for the reminder, General Bu, but as the commander of the Lu family army, the final general cannot command an uncertain war until he is sure that everything is safe. He will use the blood of thousands of soldiers to stain us. An official robe for one person!"

say so...

But Lu Xun felt something else in his heart.

——"Bu Zhi, Bu Zhi?You came from Huaisi, how do you know... In the big clan of Soochow, if a clansman kills the head of the clan, what kind of ruin will it cause?What treachery will be caused!It's not that I don't fight, I just can't afford it! 』

"Okay..." Bu Zhi said with emotion: "I admire General Lu's mind, so I don't need to say more."

"You are not joking. Since I accepted the military order of Marquis Wu, I will go all out. However, it is still too early to attack Jiaozhi in January, and it will be earlier to break the city before the winter solstice. I will trouble General Bu to bring a message to Marquis Wu. I, Lu Xun, are willing to accept the crime if I can’t break the city within the time limit.”

Bu Zhi smiled and sighed, "You are the 'God King' of Soochow, and also the hope of Soochow in the future. If it is true as you said, I am really sorry that Soochow lost another young talent."

Lu Xun smiled lightly and said, "If that's the case, it's God's will. Life is like chess, and you have no regrets... The tents of the two generals have arrived, please—"

For a certain distance, Lu Xun walked on thin ice, and his mind was ups and downs.

Only the last words, Lu Xun said calmly.

But in Sun Ru's ears, her heart throbbed endlessly...

She could even feel how dangerous her husband's current situation was.

...

...

Cao Wei, Fancheng.

In the cell, the torch flickered, and the sound of groans came and went.

Li Miao took office and became a "doctor advising and advising", and also became Cao Pi's staff "as he wished".

And his first errand was ordered by Cao Cao himself, to judge Yang Xiu by him.

At this moment, Li Miao was brought into the prison early in the morning. Obviously, this is a place for serious criminals. There is nothing in the room except a brazier, and there are two guards with halberds standing outside.

Yang Xiu had already warmed up in the fire leisurely, then suddenly looked up and saw Li Miao, he pursed his lips and smiled, still admiring himself, "Oh, I don't intend to meet you here, it seems... the prime minister is using you as a madman, but not I know, does the Prime Minister use Zi Huan's "Nine Grades of Officials Law"?"

What Yang Xiu said was ironic...

Because there were guards with halberds nearby, he couldn't let Li Miao's hard-won identity be exposed.

Not to mention that Yang Xiu, Cao Zijian, and Li Miao's schemes should not be allowed to fall by the wayside.

Be proud, Yang Xiu is smart and wise enough.

"I am ordered by the Prime Minister to judge this Yang Xiu, and you will step down first!" Li Miao ordered loudly.

"But..." The two guards with halberds seemed worried.

Li Miao raised his fist, "Just Yang Xiu? You're not my opponent yet, you just need to step back!"

"Here!"

So... the two guards just resigned.

Li Miao walked over slowly, put his hand on the fire and warmed it, he didn't say a word, but his mind seemed to fly back to the former Jiangling City.

That was a discussion between him and Guan Lin on how to become Cao Zhi's confidant.

Li Miaoyou remembered that he was the first to ask: "According to what you mean? To become Cao Zhi's confidant? You must find a way to get rid of Yang Xiu?"

"Not necessarily get rid of it." Guan Lin said with emotion: "But Yang Xiu must be eliminated... Cao Zhi is filial and loving, and he is easy to control, but Yang Xiu is too smart and too loyal to Cao Zhi, and he is always a threat. "

When talking about this, Guan Lin paused, "At least, after Yang Xiu is out, your situation will be safer and it will be easier to guide Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi is a good poet, but he may not be a good monarch. He is not like Cao Pi is surrounded by Sima Yi, Wu Zhi, Liu Zhen, Chen Qun and other think tanks. Cao Zhi is lonely, and literati are lonely... This is the second thing you need to do after you enter Cao Wei and relieve Cao Cao's trust crisis thing!"

call…

With a long breath, Li Miao quickly restrained the memories of the past...

He sighed inwardly.

——"Young Master Yunqi, it really is what you think, now we have reached the second step... Yang Xiu has already been eliminated. 』

Seemingly noticing Li Miao's groaning, Yang Xiu asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking? Could it be that you feel sorry for me? Will a madman feel sorry for others?"

"Hehe..." Li Miao smiled lightly, he didn't know if it was because of the atmosphere, or because he was laughing at Yang Xiushen who didn't know that he was in the game...

"I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because I live in this mountain..."

Feelings in my heart...

Then, he lowered his voice and said: "As we expected, after the prime minister promulgated the two decrees of the "Nine Rank Officials Law" and "Requisitioning Widows and Rewarding Military Households", the clan and the clan have their own opinions... The scene was so hot that even the prime minister couldn't make a decision right away."

"Everything is within your expectations." Yang Xiu looked at Li Miao with admiration, "In the past, Mr. Zihuan won the support of those aristocratic families because of his support for the Han, but now because of this letter of "Ninth Grade Officials" Law, presumably the clan's support for him will be even stronger... It seems like a bloody profit!"

"But... hehe, Mr. Zijian has nothing to lose. Mr. Zijian's supporters are only those students and scholars. A letter of "Nine Rank Officials Law" and a letter of "Requisitioning Widows and Rewarding Military Households" are enough. Let the clan fully support him. Haha, it is also due to our Prime Minister Cao, otherwise...the kings of all dynasties have regarded party disputes as a scourge, but Prime Minister Cao let them fight, which has created such a clear-cut Wei Dynasty today. camp!"

Speaking of this, Yang Xiu suddenly cupped his hands at Li Miao, "I, Yang Xiu, thought highly of myself, and ordinary people never looked down upon me, but my master's deployment in this way is so magical that it makes people dazzled... I admire you." , I admire it!"

"call--"

On the other hand, Li Miao, he exhaled deeply, "I just don't know, whose idea will the Prime Minister adopt in the end? In the current situation, we have not won, and Mr. Zihuan has not lost either."

"He has already lost." Yang Xiu said with emotion: "Because, who would have thought that you, Mr. Li Miao, are in Zihuan, but your heart is in Zijian! Haha, hahahaha... In such a situation, I, Yang, will not be in vain. Xiu bears such a crime, hahaha..."

Yang Xiu smiled quite boldly, as if 20 years ago, he was so proud and disappointed because his mind was faster than Cao Cao's [-] li.

And this sense of sadness finally reappeared after 20 years.

Yang Xiu's thoughts surpassed Cao Cao's once again!
This feeling transcended his reputation and status, which fascinated him and moved him inexplicably.

"By the way, this—"

Li Miao took out a small box from his bosom, he opened it slowly, it was a box of crispy candies, and the words "Yihe crispy" were written on the box.

This was written by Cao Cao himself, and Cao Zhi has kept it all these years.

This time, Cao Zhi saw that the box was filled with halva, and asked Li Miao to hand it over to Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu held the box of crispy candies, and couldn't help crying.

He recalled that year, those eventful past.

It was Cao Cao who got a box of crispy candies, wrote the words "a box of crispy candies" vertically on the box outside the crispy candies, and left.

Yang Xiu directly distributed the crisp candies to the maids and eunuchs, and Yang Xiu took a piece himself, and handed the other piece to Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi was terrified: "Let's just eat like this, isn't it too disrespectful to father?"

Yang Xiu pointed to the "one box of crisps" on the box, and said with a smile: "One mouthful of crisps per person, written by the prime minister himself, is an order, how can you not obey it?"

Cao Zhiyou was too timid to eat.

Yang Xiu couldn't help laughing, he asked Cao Zhi, "Do you know why the prime minister likes you?"

Cao Zhi's answer: "Father likes my poems."

Yang Xiu shook his head, "The Prime Minister likes not only your poems, but he sees the young master's free and easy demeanor and broad mind in these poems, just like eating this crisp, you need vision and courage. The five-featured gentleman will not have it, but Mr. Zijian must have it!"

Yang Xiuyou remembered that Cao Zhi's answer at that time was, "Does Dezu want me and my second brother to compete for the son?"

"My son, you might as well tell me the truth. What is your ambition? To be a poet?"

"Of course not." When Cao Zhi said these four words, his mind was full of his sister Zhen, but he couldn't say that. Power up the country, flow to benefit the people, build an eternal career, and make the best of gold and stone!"

Yang Xiu seemed to see through what he was thinking, and he told Cao Zhi, "No matter what the purpose is, it can't be achieved by just a son of the Xiangfu."

When he said this sentence, Cao Cao walked in, and everyone looked at each other in dismay, trembling.

Cao Cao gave Yang Xiu a sharp look, then he smiled and broke the crispy candy into two halves, stuffed half into his own mouth, and gave the other half to Xu Chu beside him.

He laughed and said with emotion: "Master Yang is right, one bite per person!"

On that day, Cao Cao summoned Yang Xiu to him alone and told him solemnly.

"Help the orphaned son well—"

It was also from that day that Cao Zhi officially joined the ranks of competing for the son.

now…

The past is like smoke, and Cao Zhi has taken a big step forward in the fight for the position of the son, but he, Yang Xiu, is out forever.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiu couldn't help but smile wryly.

Li Miao opened his mouth eloquently, "After all these years, Dezu is the most transparent, hehe, the so-called rules handed down by the ancestors are that there is a heir to establish a heir, and no heir to establish an elder! This is the advantage of Mr. Zihuan, but it is also his Most of those who support the orthodox theory are pedantic veterans, most of them are from centuries-old families, and these people are just too loyal to the Han Dynasty!"

"Surrounded by them, even if Mr. Zihuan becomes the prince, even if he becomes the Duke of Wei in the future? What can he do? Isn't it just repeating the past of the Han Dynasty monarchs and ministers in the past? Repeating the cycle of factions fighting each other?"

"Prime Minister Cao used to rely heavily on these aristocratic families, these pedantic old officials, for the purpose of expanding the territory and setting sail for the hegemony of Wei Wu. But when I saw Prime Minister Cao yesterday, I just understood his mind. He knows better than us. The foundation of the Han Dynasty and the system of the Han Dynasty have long been rotten, rotten to the bone marrow, and what is needed in troubled times is to break up and establish. To save the world, a new system must be rebuilt and a new era must be opened! And this This is the biggest advantage that Mr. Zijian has over his son, Mr. Huan!"

Faced with Li Miao's big words, Yang Xiu nodded solemnly, "Mr. Li, you and I are heroes who see the same thing. I, Yang Xiu, know that I am not a person who can dedicate myself to making wedding dresses for others, but ...Your appearance, Mr. Li, let me see the greatest hope of Mr. Zijian becoming the son of the world, and also let me see the possibility of opening up a new era and a new system, so..."

Yang Xiu bowed his hands solemnly again, but this time he held the crunchy candy box that said "one bite per person" tightly in his mouth.

Yang Xiu's words became more and more meticulous: "I can only accompany Mr. Zijian here. In the first half, I, Yang Dezu, was undefeated. In the second half of Mr. Zijian... it all depends on you, Mr. Li. I believe in Mr. Li." Sir, Master Zijian also believes in Mr. Li!"

Speaking of this, Yang Xiu's tone became heavier again.

"So, since the prime minister asked Mr. Li to interrogate me, the crime should be serious, and it's not a problem to divide the body...Mr. Li can just report it!"

"This..." Li Miao never thought that Yang Xiu could do this for Zijian...

In fact, Yang Xiu is not only for Cao Zhi, he is for his pride!
"Mr. Li, don't worry, I know the prime minister better than you, he... won't kill me!"

Yang Xiu's eyes flickered, he looked around, then lowered his voice, a word that only the two of them could hear came out.

——"Perhaps, Prime Minister Cao is listening clearly to the conversation between you and me!"

...

As Yang Xiu said.

In the secret room next to this prison cell, Cao Cao stood there until he heard Li Miao and Yang Xiu's last words before he came out of the secret room.

After waiting to get out of the prison, he walked into a court, and Cheng Yu who was on the side hurriedly cupped his hands.

"This Li Miao is very scheming and has a lot of power in the city. He even dares to speculate on the prime minister's mind. If he dares to ask the prime minister, do you want to deal with this Li Miao?"

Following Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao shot him a sharp look, "Did Gu say that he was going to be dealt with?"

This…

Cheng Yu trembled, and for a moment didn't know how to speak.

"Haha..." Cao Cao seemed to be quite excited, and said with emotion: "He really belongs to Zijian!"

Immediately, Cao Cao ordered the court to deal with the school affairs that had been waiting for a long time.

"Playing things—"

Therefore, these school officials will inquire about Li Miao and tell them what they scolded Liu Bei at the banquet, what Jiangling was humiliated by naked clothes, what openly bit the fourth son of the Guan family, what the street scolded Guan Gong...

One by one, one by one, Cao Cao has heard all of them.

He waved his hand, indicating that he would step back from school work, while he paced around the courtroom.

Finally, after a long time, his footsteps stopped.

"Calling Liu Xuande, biting Guan Yunqi, scolding Yun Chang, such a person, and helped Zijian defend Shouchun, and presented two national policies to the two orphaned sons, haha... this man is a virtuous man! He is a friend, not an enemy!"

Cao Cao sighed with emotion, like doubts in his heart, and now he waved his hand.

——"Orphan order to immediately recruit widows across the country, no matter if they are 'dead wives' or 'living wives', as long as they can't tell where the man is, they will be recruited forcibly, and all relations with them will be cut off!"

——"I will reward them to my soldiers according to Zijian's proposal! I will use this to revive the morale of the three armies! I will take back everything lost in the Xiangfan and Huainan battlefields!"

A few words, sonorous and powerful.

Loudly!

...
