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

Chapter 426 Irony, is this the Wei we guard?
Wudu County, Xiabian City, the lobby of the government office.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

From far away, one could hear Cao Hong's hearty laugh, and while laughing, he shouted: "Play music, play music..."

Today's Cao Hong specially invited a group of civil and military officials to enjoy singing and dancing.

An attendant placed more than [-] drums on the ground of the official office lobby, and then, the soft and elegant movement began to play slowly. There was a graceful woman wearing a thin clean white shirt, black silk dyed with ink, and colorful fans flowing... Immortal stomping on the drum.

Most of these women are from the Di tribe. Di tribe men are good at fighting and women are good at dancing. Now... wearing this black silk white shirt, the body is faintly visible, and the moist... seems to come from a dream, and water will come out when pinched.

"Ok, ok... ok..."

Cao Hong couldn't help applauding.

Among the officials on the bamboo mats on the left and right, there is "Lei Ding", the leader of the Di tribe in Wudu, and "Qiang Duan", the leader of the Yinping Di tribe. The eyes are wandering, as if thoughtful.

In addition to these indigenous leaders, there is also the deputy general Zhao Ang, and Zhao Ang's wife Wang Yi is also there.

Speaking of which, beside Cao Hong's seat, there were still two vacant seats, one of which was specially reserved by Cao Hong for Cao Xiu, but Cao Xiu hadn't arrived here yet.

The other one was reserved for Yang Fu, the prefect of the Wudu, but...if I wanted to, Yang Fu didn't come to honor him either.

At this time, the unique musical instruments of the Di nationality played more and more passionate movements.

The singing and dancing scale of the women of the Di ethnic group is larger. Sometimes they lightly sway the hands of the clouds, close their hands and hold the fans together, like a brush walking on a dragon to draw a picture, and the jade sleeves are blown by the wind, turning, shaking, opening, closing, twisting, rounding, and bending. A series of movements reveals the body partly and partly.

Flowing water and clouds are like flying dragons and dancing phoenixes.

...Especially those pairs of eyes, which captivated Cao Honggou.

Accompanied by the song and dance, the sound of the instrument changed again, becoming... a bit cooler.

Diva's movements are even bigger...

Wang Yi bit her lip, she approached her husband Zhao Ang, and muttered.

"Is this our general?"

"Ah..." Zhao Ang sighed, and said in a low voice: "The prime minister sent a letter, saying that Cao Xiu, the minor general of the clan, led troops to help. Just handsome!"

Zhao Ang's words eased Wang Yi's mood a bit...

She is a chaste woman. When Ma Chao took advantage of Cao Cao's southward rebellion, most of the land in Longyou fell, and the situation was in dire straits.

Yang Fu, who was then governor of Liangzhou, united his brothers to fight against Ma Chao, and also went to lobby Zhao Ang, who was then the Qiang Taoist.

Because Zhao Ang's son was still in Ma Chao's hands, Zhao Ang lost his mind for a while. It was Wang Yi's words that woke Zhao Ang up. , how about a son?"

It means - for the sake of righteousness, we don't want this child!

It was also because of Wang Yi's words that Zhao Ang strengthened his determination to resist Ma Chao. Together with Yang Fu, their husband and wife killed Ma Chao's wife and children, and guarded the dangerous Qishan Mountain until Cao Cao's reinforcements arrived more than [-] days later.

He made great contributions to Cao Cao's defeat of Ma Chao.

During this period, Wang Yi made nine ingenious strategies for Zhao Ang, which is indispensable.

Therefore, Cao Cao made an exception to allow Wang Yi to participate in the discussion of military aircraft, and even appointed a female military adviser in name!

It can be said that because of Cao Wei, Wang Yi lost his children and had no hesitation, but now... because of Cao Hong's "golden lovers", because she thought of it, the Central Plains...was it the same, she was shaken for a while.

She suddenly discovered that the Central Plains they guarded regardless of life and death, the people there, and the life there are so corrupt.

Of course, not all the generals in Cao Weizhong are like Cao Hong. Xiahou Dun is upright and honest, Cao Ren abides by the law, Xiahou Yuan values ​​righteousness and despises life, but Cao Hong has a dissolute personality, can't control his eyesight, is greedy for money...and lustful!

Doing things is even more unscrupulous!

But such a person is actually a general!
How did Wang Yi know that if Cao Hong hadn't rescued Cao Cao several times, how could he have the status he has today?

It is even more impossible to reach such a height that does not belong to him.

Compared with a general, he is more suitable to be a local rich man, a rich man.

"Wait a little longer... I heard that the new major general Cao Xiu, Prime Minister Cao called him Qianliju, he is a rare handsome talent in Cao Wei's clan, maybe everything will change after he comes."

Seeing that Madam's complexion was still not good-looking, Zhao Ang continued to persuade in a low voice.

"Alas..." Looking at the dancer and singer dressed in cicada-like wings on the drum... Wang Yi still could only sigh faintly.

She thought to herself:
——"Is this the Cao Wei guarded by my husband and I?Is it worth it to lose children because of it?Is it worth it? 』

A series of sincere questions kept coming out, constantly beating on Wang Yi's heart.

at this time…

The door opened with a bang, only to see a short but furious literati in a green Confucian gown and a Confucian crown striding forward...

"Get off, get off—"

Following the literati's words, those dancers were startled, and some even stumbled and fell from the drum, falling heavily.

Cao Hong also narrowed his eyes, but he could see who was coming, "Hahahaha..." He laughed loudly, "Who messed with Brother Yishan (Yang Fu)?"

Today's Yang Fu is the governor of Yizhou and the prefect of Wudu. With his status, even a clan general like Cao Hong is quite polite to him.

But I heard Yang Fu say to Cao Hong righteously: "Now that Sanba has been lost, Zitong has fallen, and the rebel army can go north at any time... At this moment, General Cao is still interested in doing such a thing? Besides, men and women are different. , This is a national festival, how can a woman be naked in front of the public! Even the downfall of Xia Jie and Shang Zhou is not as good as this."

One sentence fell, it can be described as "covering the head and covering the face"...

After finishing speaking, Yang Fuyou was puzzled, and angrily walked in front of Cao Hong, and overturned the wine bottles and jugs on his desk to the ground.

Cao Hong was startled at first, but because of the opponent's identity and prestige in the army, Cao Hong could only laugh and say, "This general is being rude, come here..."

Cao Hong held Yang Fu's hand and led him to sit on the bamboo mat, "No...the enemy hasn't attacked yet? Besides...Isn't my son Qianliju already on his way? I, Cao Hong, It's okay for you to press the battle, but if you really want to fight... how many catties and taels, I can still handle it clearly, this battle... I have to rely on you!"

Cao Hong is greedy for money and profit, but there is one thing, he is quite self-aware, he can still be clear about his height, he will not compete with other generals for power.

Of course... If you want to win, you have to fight a little bit.

And... save face!
This thing, Cao Hongsu looked at it very seriously... Those who are familiar with him will know that Cao Hong has already held grudges against this Yang Fu!
"Ha ha ha ha…"

Cao Hong was still laughing. His words and his softness made Yang Fu less angry. Cao Hong hurriedly called the dancers to retreat, and ordered them to remove the big drums. Then he said: "Okay, okay, no Let's see the beauties, then let's get down to business...Yishan, you are the prefect, what happened to the food we raised in Wudu County?"

When it came to business, it made... everyone in the room looked serious.

As for the issue of food and grass he mentioned, it was an order from Xia Houyuan in Hanzhong. There were too many soldiers in Hanzhong, and there were a large number of followers of the Five Dou Rice Sect, so the food was already stretched.

And the transportation of grain in the Central Plains, traveling long distances... far can't quench thirst.

Therefore, Xia Houyuan ordered Wudu County to raise 30 shi of grain no matter what, otherwise... Hanzhong will stop fighting and chaos!

Of course, Cao Hong's temperament will not suffer. He asked Yang Fu for 40 hu of grain.

After a while, he, Cao Hong, received an extra [-] hu of grain, which is not too much at all!

And after the matter of raising food was mentioned, the faces of everyone in the whole place became gloomy.

Now, the smile on Cao Hong's face disappeared, and he looked around at everyone around him... The amiable expression just now also became cold.

"Didn't Prefect Yang speak loudly just now? Now...why are you dumb?"

Cao Hong's eyes narrowed, "It's not too much for a county to raise 40 hu of grain? This is life-saving food, let you raise it? Ah... not too much?"

Cao Hong suddenly raised his tone for the last four words "not too much".

Yang Fu frowned and sighed: "General Cao also knows that the grain depots in Longyou and Kanxi were already empty in order to supply the prime minister's conquest of Hanzhong, and the Xiangfan battlefield was enlisted again, and the grain from the Central Plains was supplied there. Now it is still early for the harvest month, Wudu County...where did it raise so much food?"

"Oh..." Cao Hong's eyes curved into a crescent, "What do you mean? 10,000+ Wei soldiers in Hanzhong? They should just wait like this and starve to death?"

"I…"

Before Yang Fu could open his mouth, Cao Hong swung his arm, "If you can't raise food, then there is the simplest way..."

"What?" Yang Fu asked.

Cao Hong narrowed his eyes, and recited a very cold word fiercely.

"--Rob!"

He went on to add: "Every household has a fixed number, and if anyone doesn't hand over the amount, they will be robbed. The general wants to see, who hasn't ordered food?"

"But..." Yang Fu said hastily.

Before speaking, he did not forget to glance at the two leaders of the Di tribe, "These people of the Di tribe...before..."

His words started, but stopped abruptly.

He wanted to say... when the prime minister conquered Hanzhong, he had already plundered... no, he slaughtered the Di tribe once.

It was in the "Hechi City". Di Wang Dou Mao led more than 1 people to defend against danger. After the defeat, he was slaughtered by Cao Jun.

Their family's food, women... were all looted. This was Cao Cao's latest "massacre of the city", and it was also the first time such indiscriminate "blood flowed into rivers" in this Yongliang land!
Of course, the Di tribe has many branches, and the Hechi Di tribe is just one of them.

But he was also from Di, but Yang Fu didn't dare to say this in front of King Di of Wudu and King Yinping... It was too bloody and cruel.

Cao Hong understood what he meant. He turned his head and looked at the two Di kings, "You two don't want our soldiers from the Great Wei to starve to death in Hanzhong, do you? When Bashu is pacified, I will return you with interest? How about it?"

King Yinping Di "Qiang Duan" hurriedly handed over his hands, "It's really an honor for me to be able to contribute to the great Wei!"

"Lei Ding", the king of Wudu Di, showed a bit of embarrassment, "For years of fighting, my tribe... I'm afraid... can't raise the food?"

"If you can't raise it, let Taishou Yang help you raise it."

"Prefect Yang can't raise it, so let me help you raise it!" Cao Hong was very rude, leaving such a sentence, he flicked his long sleeves, and walked away!

Only the inside of the house was left, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yang Fu said "Alas", he flicked his sleeves dejectedly, then stomped his feet helplessly.
The two kings of Di left together, unable to see their emotions clearly.

Wang Yi bit her lip again, and she sat beside Zhao Ang, murmuring in a low voice:
"Last year, the city was massacred. This year...will we loot again?"

"Hush..." Zhao Ang quickly covered her mouth and reminded her in a low voice, "We'll talk about it when we go back, here...you'll lose your head!"

Wang Yi's face darkened into the water, and she couldn't help muttering:

——"Is this... the Great Wei guarded by my husband and I?" 』

——"At the beginning, I advised my husband that loyalty is the foundation of one's life, and sacrificing oneself is not important, let alone just a son?Hehe... now it seems..."

——"...so ironic! 』

...

...

Axe, hook and fork, sword, gun, sword and halberd.

It's hard to imagine that there are more than a hundred female guards in the inner courtyard of the Left General's Mansion in Chengdu, a small courtyard that enters and exits frequently.

Most of them hold long swords, and some also have special weapons.

There are even watchtowers built at the four corners of the courtyard, and there are female soldiers on the watchtowers looking around vigilantly.

These are Sun Shangxiang's female soldiers.

Speaking of which, there is also a door in the inner courtyard of General Zuo's Mansion, which can directly lead to the street, so...Sun Shangxiang and her female soldiers seldom go through the main entrance of General Zuo's Mansion.

In this way, Liu Bei was naturally avoided.

Even, throughout the year, the days when Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei met were few and far between.

The two of them tacitly maintain the "political marriage" under the Sun-Liu alliance that "has no emotion at all"...

At this moment, Sun Shangxiang walked into the mansion from outside the door, and when a group of female soldiers saw her, they all knelt on one knee, moved neatly, but did not say a word.

Sun Shangxiang came back from a tour of mountains and rivers. She said that she was traveling in mountains and rivers to draw a map of Bashu.

The loose, carefree, and carefree smile that was pretending to be, gradually subsided after returning to the mansion, and his expression became sharp and solemn.

She strode into a heavily guarded wing.

The female soldier at the door quickly presented the three bamboo slips on the table.

Sun Shangxiang was not in a hurry to look, and asked first: "How is it at Adou's place?"

A maidservant holding a sword replied: "Jingxiao almost snatched away Adou's soul, now that once Adou is free, he will sneak out of General Zuo's mansion and go to Li's mansion to find Jingxiao... Let's sing and dance together, Draw together, play together...it’s like a childhood sweetheart.”

Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang nodded slightly, but shook her head again, "Jing Xiao was originally the most outstanding 'female Ai' in Soochow, and she planned to control Li Yan as her adopted daughter, but she never thought... she became A Dou's playmate... That's fine too... Tell Jing Xiao to tell Adou more about my wife, so that Adou realizes that this wife is his aunt, the closest person to him, the closest person..."

Sun Shangxiang has her own plan.

Liu Bei is no longer young, but she is still young.

Now that she has come to Bashu, she, Sun Shangxiang, will always do something for Soochow.

Considering that Ah Dou is not smart and has a simple heart, if... he can be passed on to further influence... and even control Bashu, it will be of great benefit to Soochow.

Recited this sentence softly, Sun Shangxiang restrained her mind, she winked at the maid with the sword, and the maid ordered:
"Playing things..."

Immediately, the No.1 female soldier reported: "The maidservant of the Three Generals' Mansion came back with a message, saying that the Three Generals are about to go north to attack Xiabian City, and it seems that Uncle Liu Huang ordered it."

This piece of information that has little to do with Sun Shangxiang, she just waved her hand lightly, and it passed away...

Even the bamboo slips with specific content, Sun Shangxiang only read one line and threw it aside.

"Next…"

No.2 female soldier reported: "The concubine in Fazheng's mansion heard the news that Uncle Liu was discussing with Fazheng and planned to send Adou to Jingzhou..."

Sun Shangxiang, who was squinting at first, opened her eyes suddenly when she heard this piece of information, and even led her to pull out the bamboo slip of this piece of information with her hands, and unfolded it quickly.

While looking at the bamboo slips, she ordered: "Go on..."

The female soldier said truthfully: "It seems that Guan Lin wrote a military book called "God of War". Lin's side, let Guan Lin teach him!"

This…

Sun Shangxiang's eyeballs couldn't help rolling, which was somewhat different from her plan.

If you go to Jingzhou, I'm afraid that Adou... will be difficult to control.

Sun Shangxiang felt that this matter needed careful consideration.

"Continue..." she then ordered, putting this matter aside for now.

At this time, the No.3 female soldier walked out and carefully took out a letter from her arms.

Sun Shangxiang raised her eyes and noticed the female soldier, "You are...my second brother's maid, right?"

The female soldier nodded, "Yes... I was originally in charge of protecting the step trainer's wife and the princesses Dahu and Xiaohu in Jiangdong. This time, I was specially appointed by my lord to send a letter to the 'Jiefanying' Dudu!"

——The Commander of the Troubleshooting Battalion!

The appearance of this title made Sun Shangxiang startled, and her spirit was also lifted, and her eyes couldn't help but widen a lot.

"Second brother also told you about Jiefan camp?"

Listening to Sun Shangxiang's inquiry, the female soldier replied in a low voice: "Cao Wei, Bashu, and Dong Wu all have their own spy organizations, and Cao Wei's is the 'Jinzuo Cao' affiliated to the school affairs office, which was in charge of Guo Jia in the past. Afterwards, there will no longer be a dedicated person in charge;”

"Bashu was originally the 'Military Discussion Department' in charge of Pang Tong. After Pang Tong died in Luofengpo, Liu Bei handed over the 'Military Discussion Department' to Fazheng!"

"As for... Soochow is the 'Jiefan Camp'. The governor of the Jiefan Camp is especially vacant right now, and the Jiefan Camp is temporarily under the command of General Zhu Ran, but few people know that the vacant governor is Mrs. Sun!"

Because of the female soldier's words, Sun Shangxiang turned everyone away, and she deliberately dimmed the lights in the house. It seemed that she was still cautious, so she simply blew out the oil lamp.

Only a faint candle remains.

It was not until this moment that Sun Shangxiang opened his mouth slowly and solemnly: "Okay, you can tell me now, what exactly is my second brother sending you here to tell me—"

The female soldier also looked around cautiously.

Seeing that the doors and windows were locked and there was no light, she lowered her voice.

"My lord plans to tear up the alliance between Sun and Liu and attack Jingzhou by surprise. Madam should find the right opportunity to return to Soochow with Adou... The lord said that the governor of the Jiefan camp in Soochow should return to his position! The lord also asked... Madam still remembers before the Battle of Chibi, The oath Madam mentioned in front of him? Today's Soochow...is at a time of crisis again!"

oath…

Sun Shangxiang was suddenly dumb. What she subconsciously thought of was the slogan she shouted in front of Sun Quan before the Battle of Chibi.

——The sons and daughters of the Sun family, would rather die than surrender, would rather die on the battlefield than die in the hotbed!

That's because...the Battle of Chibi was already a crisis for Jiangdong's survival...

——"What does second brother mean? 』

——『Is it time for Jiangdong to be in danger again? 』

...
