Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang
Chapter 496 Zhuge Jin disappeared, Cao Mengde made a desperate move
Chapter 496 Zhuge Jin disappeared, Cao Mengde made a desperate move
——"Soochow is far away from the country's subjugation!"The only thing left is a battle in Lujiang! 』
——"Who else is there under Soochow and Sun Quan?" 』
When Guan Lin's two words with an accentuated tone came out, Guan Yinping's eyes were fixed on his brother Guan Lin's cheek as if they were welded, and it took him a long time to exhale.
His tense shoulders relaxed, and he said in a deep voice: "It turns out that all this was planned by the fourth brother!"
Guan Yinping seemed to have accomplished the purpose of his trip and found a way to fight the Lujiang River.
Guan Lin rubbed his hands, put them to his mouth and took a breath of hot air, and then said, "During the Warring States Period, Gongsun Yan and Su Qin once united, 'All the people in the world gathered at Zhao to attack Qin!' Gongsun Yan first initiated it, and Su Qin The lobbying of the Six Kingdoms was finally completed. The troops of the Six Kingdoms, millions of people, seized the pass and attacked Qin! Qin is in the west and the Six Kingdoms are in the east. Therefore, the land of the Six Kingdoms is connected from north to south, so it is called 'United Vertical'!"
"The State of Later Qin made friends with various princes from west to east, made friends far away and attacked those close to home...carried out diplomacy and counterattacked, and moved horizontally from west to east, so it was called 'Lianheng'. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there have been examples of united forces and Lianheng."
Having said this, Guan Lin paused for a moment, and then continued: "Rebellion against the Wei Dynasty continues the great strategist Xun Yu's plan of driving away tigers and devouring wolves. Sun Quan in Soochow relies on the powerful clans to check and balance the entire territory. Why can't Jingzhou be unified? , Lian Heng? Alliance with Soochow, that is the weak defeating the strong, alliance with Cao Wei, that is the strong bullying the weak, but... To achieve what I want in this strange situation, we need to figure out some people With your own thoughts, you use the situation, the hearts of the people, and your reputation to force the other party to complete it."
Yes…
It is constantly weakening Soochow and Sun Quan and secretly taking precautions;
Against Wei and Cao Cao, they used hostages, reputation, and situation as coercion...
Guan Lin set up this situation four months ago. Everyone thought that his goal was to reverse the Wei Dynasty, Fancheng, and flood the Seventh Army. But who would have thought that Guan Lin's goal was from the beginning - Soochow. , it is the alliance of Guan and Cao under the threat of flying balls in the sky and the sea of purgatory fire.
Gather the strength of both sides and let Soochow, who is unable to help but always likes to stab people in the back, get eliminated first——
Not only Guan Yinping, Ruan Yu's eyes when he looked at Guan Lin were also full of shock.
He could only say that he was very lucky... he was among the first to surrender to Guan Lin!
Fortunately, since last year, he is no longer Guan Lin's opponent.
It is precisely because of this that we can see such a meticulous, cunning, and hidden plot.
——"Master Yunqi's plan, until the last moment, I don't know... who will suffer the loss!" 』
——"His plan was perfect. Lujiang was attacked from both sides by Guan Yu and Zhang Liao. Not to mention Sun Quan, Xiang Yu couldn't withstand it even if he was alive!" 』
at this time.
"Young Master..." He was a soldier. He broke into the room and handed over his hand to report: "Lu Su, the Governor of Soochow, wants to see you?"
"Mr. Lu?" Guan Lin was slightly confused, but soon he stopped his doubtful eyes. He had already guessed why Lu Su was here.
Shiwu then asked: "Will you see me, Master?"
Guan Lin pondered for a moment...and then said softly, "This time, the news about the Governor of Lu...is so fast!"
Yes…
In the past, Soochow attacked Jingzhou and stabbed Jiangling and Changsha in the back. Everyone in Soochow and Jingzhou knew about it, but Lu Su was kept in the dark. Now it's better.
They couldn't fight anymore and wanted to negotiate peace. Soochow remembered again that the "Captain of Lu" who wanted to make peace was here.
Sun Quan's main focus is "truth"!
Thinking of this, Guan Lin sighed "Alas", and then waved his hand gently, "See you, Lu Zijing is an honest man, he must be in a lot of trouble now -"
...
...
Xu Ducheng, a post house.
Dawn dawned.
"How could this happen?" Following the panicked voice of Soochow envoy Wu Can, his legs staggered and his hands tried to reach for something beside him, but he accidentally knocked over a piece of porcelain.
The sound of the broken porcelain frightened the crows who were sleeping in their nests in the tree.
For a moment, the cry of "quack, quack, quack" resounded, and a group of crows flew up in confusion and panic.
This…
This is exactly how Wu Can is feeling now.
As for the reason, he just received an urgent message from Soochow. The convoy escorting Zhuge Jin was hijacked and General Zhu Zhi died tragically in battle. In fact...if it was just this, then Wu Can would never be so panicked.
But what followed was beyond the limit that Wu Can could bear.
According to the story of Wu Jun who escaped back, it was Cao Wei's Zhang Liao who led the Wei army to disguise themselves as the Jingzhou army, robbed them, and safely sent the Zhuge clan's convoy to Jingzhou.
Then...the most incredible thing came, Cao Wei actually "backstabbed" Soochow!
Hefei was captured like a storm!
In the past four months, all the cities in Huainan that Soochow had worked so hard to capture surrendered overnight...The entire Huainan changed into the King's Banner overnight——
This…
With a "gudong" sound, the panicked Wu Can couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and his pupils also widened to their maximum size.
The current situation is terrifying for Soochow.
On one side, Zhang Wenyuan is ready to go south to collect the nectar;
On one side are Guan Yu, Chen Bing and Chai Sang, eyeing Lujiang City with eager eyes.
Subconsciously, what came to my mind was one sentence - "Soochow is going to end, it's over!" 』
Then, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something and shouted out of reflex.
"Zhuge Ziyu? Where is Zhuge Ziyu?"
He ran out of his house like crazy, but when he arrived at Zhuge Jin's room, there was no one anywhere.
Zhuge Jin - disappeared!
...
Autumn is high and crisp, and there are many people outing by the Yingshui River. There are blankets everywhere, sitting on the ground in twos and threes, and some people are composing poems by drinking water. The mountains are soft, the water is soft, and the warm breeze is intoxicating.
Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke came here on horseback, and they chose a place by the water a little far away from others.
There were several children from rich families flying kites next to them, shouting...
There were also several personal guards of Zhuge Ke, who looked around vigilantly.
On the other hand, the horses that came here together didn't have that much thought and were chewing the grass leisurely.
Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke were sitting around a mat with some wine and fruits on it.
Zhuge Jin seemed to have something on his mind, with a stern look on his face as he stared at the river...
Zhuge Ke picked up a glass of wine and knelt down straight: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. The child used tricks to achieve loyalty and filial piety, but he never thought that he would make his father fall into injustice. This glass of wine... is the child's apology to his father. If dad still isn’t relieved...someone comes..."
Zhuge Ke shouted to the attendant beside him.
Immediately, a personal guard came over and asked, "Master Zhuge, what are your orders?"
"Get the riding crop!"
The guard was stunned, "What to do?"
Zhuge Ke looked at Zhuge Jin and said calmly, "My biological father will impose family laws on my unfilial son!"
This... personal guard was in a dilemma. His steps were like lead and he didn't dare to move. He muttered in a low voice, "Really... really take it?"
Zhuge Ke winked and said, "Do I seem to be showing off? The gift of childbirth is greater than heaven. Even if I have been adopted by my biological father and passed on to others, if my biological father wants to teach me a lesson, that is what I should do. Go and get it..."
Now...the guard had no choice but to walk towards the horse step by step.
Zhuge Jin finally calmed down his worries and said, "Okay, okay, don't take any riding whip... How can anyone punish an adopted child?"
Zhuge Ke laughed when he heard this, "Let me just say, when I was a child, I did bad things and caused trouble. No matter how big the trouble was, it was my father who stepped in to solve it for me. At that time, my father was not willing to hit me. Now, Where can I start?"
After listening to his son's words, Zhuge Jin took the wine bottle...drank it in one gulp, and sighed: "No matter what, you won this time. On the surface, Wei and Wu joined forces to seize Jingzhou, but behind the scenes...it was 'Guan and Cao joined forces.' , jointly defeating Wu, what a great overall situation, if I had not received the intelligence from Soochow today, I... would still be kept in the dark!"
"...I have to say that this layout is very exciting and unpredictable. As expected...Guan Yunqi is the best at this, but you...are sophistry and courage, words and forbearance in being an envoy, haha... Then Guan Yunqi defeated Soochow and Cao Cao, and you defeated me. This bottle... shouldn't be an apology wine, this should be a celebration wine for you!"
While talking, Zhuge Jin filled another bottle and drank it in one gulp.
The whole expression was a complete release, but there was a little bit of separation sadness in this release.
"I understand what my father means..." Zhuge Ke said solemnly: "My father is happy for me, but also feels sorry for Soochow... In fact, my father was reused by the Marquis of Wu and replaced Zhang Zhao as the long history. This is not because his father is greedy. Official position and power, but to provide a path for the Zhuge family..."
Zhuge Ke was able to lead the conversation here, which surprised Zhuge Jin even more.
Even with his curiosity...
The beautiful piece of Lantian jade he had carved in front of him since he was a child has now been carved into a completely new look in Guan Lin's hands.
Zhuge Ke's words continued.
"Master Yunqi always taught me that I need to be able to understand the game...see through the situation. He even told me that the plan set by the Langya Zhuge clan was also a game, so I tried to ask him...what was the game set by the Langya Zhuge clan? ? He told me in detail without reservation..."
Zhuge Ke began to talk eloquently, "Actually...the development of my father and stepfather were exactly the same. My father lived in exile from Xuzhou to Jiangdong, while Kongming's stepfather lived in exile in Jingzhou from Xuzhou. My father, Bu Zhi and Yan Zhen formed a gentle relationship. The Huaisi exile faction, Kong Ming’s stepfather formed the Jingzhou exile faction with Sima Hui, Xu Shu, Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, and Meng Gongwei..."
"Sun Ce died unexpectedly in Jiangdong. His father and the people living in exile gathered together to support his elder brother Sun Quan but not his younger brother Sun Yi. Liu Biao in Jingzhou was seriously ill and had a different owner in Jingzhou. His stepfather supported his elder brother Liu Qi but not his younger brother Liu Cong. Here in Jiangdong The elder brother Sun Quan came to power, and the younger brother Sun Yi lost power. Zhang Zhao, the chief historian who had previously supported his younger brother Sun Yi, was replaced by his father, and his father became the new chief historian! But in Jingzhou, the same thing... Under the same game, the elder brother Liu Qi came to power, and Uncle Liu Huang succeeded Liu Qi. , his younger brother Liu Cong lost power and claimed to be no match for Emperor Uncle Liu, so he was forced to surrender to Cao Cao. Cai Mao, the Jingzhou military advisor general who had previously supported his younger brother, was replaced by his stepfather and became the new military advisor Zhonglang..."
"Here in Jiangdong, my father is too wise. Even if he is a confidant who supports Sun Quan, Sun Ce's mistakes are clear in his mind and he does not dare to challenge the local nobles. The local clans are headed by Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang, so My father kept his attitude low and never overstepped his authority;"
"On Uncle Liu's side, Kong Ming's stepfather also understood very well that even if he was Uncle Liu's military advisor, he could not challenge the local clans. After the Jingzhou clan returned to Cao Cao from Cai and Kuai, only Pang, Ma, Xiang, and Xi were left. Of the four families, the Pang family was second to none, so Kong Ming’s stepfather recommended Pang Tong to rule Jingzhou, and even in the face of such an important operation as the Western Expedition, he strongly recommended Pang Tong... He was willing to raise food and provide logistics."
At this point, Zhuge Ke paused and continued: "After Uncle Liu captured Yizhou, he sent Kong Ming's stepfather to Chengdu to garrison in the center of the new territory. Similarly, if Soochow captured Jingzhou, he would definitely send his father to Nanjun. The prefect... his father, as the leader of the Huaisi faction, wanted to help Sun Quan handle the relationship between the Huaisi faction and the big families, and to check and balance all parties. The core conflict that Kong Ming's stepfather wanted to help Uncle Liu deal with was between the Jingzhou faction and the Dongzhou faction. The contradiction between..."
At this point, it seems... Zhuge Ke's words have come to an abrupt end before he has finished speaking.
Zhuge Jin, who was fascinated by what he heard, couldn't help but mutter in his heart:
——"How could he, Guan Yunqi, know?"Do you still know so clearly? 』
With this thought in his mind, Zhuge Jin then asked: "What's next? Then Guan Yunqi...what else did he say?"
He was trembling as he spoke.
Because in his opinion, this is too terrible.
He and his younger brother Zhuge Liang are walking the same path and have similar plans...
This point... was discussed when they parted ways in Langya.
In the whole world...except for his father Zhuge Xuan, no one else knows about it.
Even after Zhuge Xuan died, his son Zhuge Yan was now an official in Cao Wei, and it was absolutely impossible for him to tell Guan Lin these things.
In other words, the Langya Zhuge family secretly planned this series of routes, and it was through clues that Guan Yunqi completely and completely saw through it!
Zhuge Jin suddenly felt that he... or rather his clansmen, were as naked in front of Guan Lin... being seen clearly and without reservation.
This…
Such a Sekishiro is so terrifying!
——A terrible opponent!
"Master Yun Qi only told me these things... He may have predicted the rest, but the situation has not reached that point yet. I guess it is inconvenient for him to tell me."
Indeed...if we follow the original rules of history.
The development of the next two people is also generally the same. Both of them hold military power. Zhuge Liang represents the Jingzhou faction and Li Yan of the Dongzhou faction competes in Shu...
Zhuge Jin represents the Huaisi faction and the big family represented by Lu Xun competes in the military and political fields!
The difference is that when facing Cao Wei, Zhuge Liang has been attacking and Zhuge Jin has been defending; but the same point is that even in the end, neither of them defeated Sima Yi!
Zhuge Jin still felt shocked: "These are really what Guan Yunqi said..."
"Yes!" Zhuge Ke continued, "I asked Mr. Yunqi again at that time. I said that Soochow is just a trapped beast still fighting. He can hold on tightly, but he still can't fight out. I asked him if there is any way to do it. Rescue dad from the trapped beast. Mr. Yun Qi said, unless three conditions are met..."
This…
Today, there were too many things that surprised Zhuge Jin. He would never have thought that this adopted son was still thinking about how to pull his biological father out of the quagmire.
Zhuge Jin would never have imagined that Guan Lin would actually answer the call... saying that he met three conditions... this...
"What... what conditions?"
"First, the people of the Zhuge family cannot be controlled by Soochow. Bring them to Jingzhou so that they will not become the means and methods of Soochow's control! Second, Soochow is in danger, and it is natural to stay in Jiangdong. Take the road of death. Dad is such a wise man. He will be loyal, but not foolishly loyal. He will not kill himself by flying moths into the flame..."
Phew... Following his son's words, Zhuge Jin let out a long breath.
He could not help but sigh:
——"That Guan Lin, judging people... is really... really accurate!"Can Guan Lin... be... able to turn into a roundworm in a person's stomach? 』
The more he sighed, the more eager Zhuge Jin was to open his mouth.
"What about...the third one?"
Zhuge Ke said directly without thinking: "The third rule is that you have to let dad go. You can never go back -" With this sentence, Zhuge Jin, who had stood up because of excitement, trembled all over and his legs shook. , and suddenly sat down again, sitting on the bamboo mat.
His pupils were widened, his eyes full of incredible surprise, frustration and confusion at the embarrassing situation he was in.
Yes…
Cao Wei stabbed Soochow in the back, attacked Huainan by surprise, and captured Hefei...
This alone is enough to confirm the complete failure of Soochow's diplomacy, making Zhuge Jin fall short in his mission to Cao Wei, and even... becoming a sinner in the world.
he?Can you still go back?
He went back?Isn’t that sending someone to death?What's the point?
Just when Zhuge Jin thought of this, the sound of horse hooves sounded loudly beside the road. It was a carriage, and the carriage stopped near Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke.
I saw the door of the carriage open, and running out of it was Wu Can, the envoy of Soochow.
Seeing him, Zhuge Jin was inexplicably startled, and it was accompanied by some indescribable complexity, and he kept muttering in his heart.
——"Isn't this Wu Can escorting me to Soochow to accept my crime and die?"If this is the case...I...should I go back?Can I still go back? 』
Just as Zhuge Jin was struggling in his heart.
Wu Can had already walked in front of the two of them. His Chinese character face was like a bitter gourd at this moment. He first met Zhuge Jin's eyes...
Then he asked, "Tzuyu also knows!"
This... Zhuge Jin pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily.
He originally thought that Wu Can would take him back to Soochow to plead guilty... Zhuge Jin hadn't decided yet whether he would go back or not... and if he didn't go back, what kind of excuse would he give to him.
I never thought... at this moment.
With a "click" sound, Wu Can turned his head and knelt down towards Zhuge Ke, holding Zhuge Ke's thigh tightly with both hands.
This scene directly stunned Zhuge Jin...
Zhuge Jin was also confused...
This?what's the situation?
At this moment, Wu Chan opened his mouth, "Yuanxun, Yuanxun, I know the person behind you has great supernatural powers, please... please... please, for the sake of your biological father Zhuge Ziyu, please let the person behind you Help me too! Ask him to help me... take my people to Jingzhou, this Soochow... this Soochow... I... I will definitely not go back!"
what…
If Wu Can knelt down, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke were surprised.
But now, his words... were like a bolt from the blue, making Zhuge Jin freeze in place... So much so that he subconsciously asked, "No... not going back?"
Wu Can continued: "Yinglong is considered a god because of his ability to bend and stretch, and the phoenix is considered precious because it is good at singing. Why must he dedicate himself to a dying place like Soochow and be foolishly loyal to the Sun family that is about to perish?"
Speaking of this, Wu Chan's voice became even louder, but his face was full of tears, and he was full of emotions, "A good bird chooses a tree to roost, and a good minister chooses his master to work! Ziyu, Ziyu, don't let loyalty ruin you and me. !”
Wu Can's words seemed to be the last straw that broke Zhuge Jin's persistence.
Zhuge Ke's eyes lit up.I muttered in my heart:
——"This Wu Chan is simply a divine assist!" 』
——"This must happen!" 』
...
...
Over there, on the outskirts of Xudu, on the banks of the Ying River, as the river flows, Zhuge Jin is still going through his most difficult decision.
Here, in Xudu City, today is a good day. Cao Cao's granddaughter Cao Ying is marrying an ordinary young man "Ma Jun"
Day.
Listening to the sound of gongs and drums, I watched Ma Jun ride on a tall horse to the palace of Wei to marry Cao Ying.
Many people talked among themselves.
"Who is the prince's consort riding on the tall horse?"
"I am marrying Cao Ying, whom King Wei loves the most. He has been with him for a long time and taught him personally..."
"Princess Cao Ying is the daughter of the eldest son of the Wei Dynasty, Cao Ang. Ever since the eldest son Cao Ang died in Wancheng, the king has felt that he owes this princess!"
Just then...a voice came out from the crowd.
"Ma Jun? Why is he...he...isn't he a stammer? Why did the king marry his most beloved granddaughter to a stammer? This...this...this...isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?"
Obviously, this person knew Ma Jun, and after recognizing Ma Jun on the tall horse, this person subconsciously exclaimed.
But, as this voice came out.
A sharp voice came - "How dare you insult the Prince Consort, take it down -"
Immediately, several officers and soldiers captured the man on the spot and took him to prison.
Following such an episode, the people who were still talking about each other tacitly shut their mouths and no longer dared to say even one sentence to the unknown Ma Jun.
In front of the gate of the mansion newly given to Ma Jun by King Cao Cao of Wei, gongs and drums were being beaten. Cheng Yu stood in front of the gate to greet the guests and bowed to the guests. The lights in the courtyard were dimly lit like daylight.
Cheng Yu then sent Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Sima Yi, Jia Kui and others into the mansion. The blind Xiahou Dun, supported by Li Miao, came hand in hand with a group of Cao clan generals and dismounted at the door.
Cheng Yu couldn't help but be startled when he saw Xiahou Dun.
Li Miao smiled and said, "General Xiahou came here specifically for his niece's wedding..."
Cheng Yu could only whisper: "General Xiahou is Princess Cao Ying's natal family. According to the rules... he should also go to the banquet in King Wei's palace."
"It doesn't matter..." Xiahou Dun waved his hand, "It's the same wherever you eat!"
Indeed, this wedding banquet is the same no matter where you eat it.
But, as the saying goes - if the mountains are not high, there will be immortals, and if the water is not deep, there will be dragons, and there will be names!
Xiahou Dun's appearance here was undoubtedly an attitude that brought everyone's discussion about the "little-known" Ma Jun to an abrupt end.
The king of Wei could recruit him as his grandson-in-law, Xiahou Dun, who had limited mobility, could also come to support him, and even Cheng Yu could welcome guests outside the door in person. With such specifications... even a fool could sense something.
King Cao Cao has great regard for Ma Jun——
...
Today's wedding scene is in the courtyard of Ma Jun's family.
Therefore, Ma Jun is needed to bring Cao Ying back from Wei Palace...
It stands to reason that the marriage of these Wei princesses should be held in the Palace of Wei. This indicates that the marriage is a second marriage and that the status of the Princess of Wei is higher than that of the Prince Consort.
However, the choice of address...is in Ma Jun's mansion, which is also very revealing.
At least it shows that... in the view of King Wei, this is not a "downward marriage", but an "equal marriage"... "Downward marriage" and "equal marriage", although there is a one-word difference, but the status of a man, in the opinion of outsiders, But it's completely different.
The whole process of Ma Jun going to the palace of Wei to marry was extremely smooth.
Logically speaking, based on his status... it should be easy for the King of Hell, but the devil is difficult to deal with... Who would have thought that every checkpoint was extremely smooth, there was not too much blame at all, and everyone was extremely enthusiastic about Ma Jun.
During the process, Ma Jun never dared to look at Cao Ying because he was nervous because it was his first time to participate in this kind of ceremony and there were so many noble people around him.
After leaving the palace of King Wei, I turned my head inadvertently and saw Cao Ying's face in full dress for the first time through the car window. Although she was half-hiding it with a fan, her radiant beauty and heroic spirit were still there. Ma Jun was still stunned.
"The son has returned, a good daughter and a good son-in-law, a good family and a good family, Jun'er... You must be kind to the granddaughter that I love most! Don't forget that from today on, you are my grandson-in-law, Cao Cao. When Wei is prosperous, both will be prosperous, and when one is defeated, both will be harmed!"
Cao Cao deliberately emphasized the last eight words - one will be prosperous, one will be prosperous, one will be harmed, all will be harmed!
You know, in such a special situation, in such a special wedding, there is no doubt that... Cao Cao's words are much more meaningful.
Cheng Yu and Jia Xu recognized the smell and looked deeply.
But most people didn't expect this, so they just cheered and applauded the beautiful couple.
Qinglu is built in the southwest corner of the yard, which is considered an auspicious position...
There was a banquet in the courtyard. Even though the house given by Cao Cao was very spacious, it seemed very crowded because there were so many people. The courtyard was filled with noisy drums and guests, and there were sounds of joy everywhere.
Cao Ying sat alone in the green hut, covering her face with a fan. There was an untouched Tailao on the table in front of her. A group of children held hands and danced and sang around her, "The peach blossoms shine brightly. When the son returns, it is suitable for his family... When the peach blossoms grow, its leaves are pure. When the son returns, it is suitable for his family."
On the other hand, at the banquet in the courtyard, many people toasted to Xiahou Dun.
"Old General, I'm so happy..."
"Yes, a man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful appearance, a match made in heaven."
"From now on, our Cao Ying... won't bully that kid Ma Jun, right?"
Under a series of questions, for each question, someone offered a bottle of wine to Xiahou Dun.
Li Miao sat next to Xiahou Dun, helping Xiahou Dun from drinking wine from time to time, as if... Xiahou Dun, who had lost his son, already regarded Li Miao as a relative.
Just as the atmosphere became more and more heated.
"Hahahaha..." Amid a hearty laugh, Cao Cao appeared... He strode into the banquet.
When everyone saw Cao Cao, they all raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty!"
However, Cao Cao signaled to everyone that it was time to drink and eat. He seemed quite happy and said with a big smile: "Gu Ke is just a precious granddaughter. Today, Gu Ke married this precious granddaughter to the Prince Consort, and from now on From now on, the Prince Consort will be like Gu’s own grandson!”
At this point, Cao Cao picked up the jug, "It's a pity...my grandson-in-law doesn't know how to drink, so he can't come to entertain guests, but it doesn't matter, come on, come on. Today, my great-grandfather-in-law will toast you all on his behalf. Let's change Big bowl, one bowl for each of you—"
This…
If it was Xiahou Dun who originally gave Ma Jun a lot of face through etiquette, then now... Cao Cao's appearance has undoubtedly... greatly raised the face of his grandson-in-law.
Let everyone realize a problem: - "This Prince Consort is probably not a mortal!" 』
Of course, Cao Cao also had his own plan. Ma Jun wanted to build a hot air balloon.
Even after the hot air balloon... build an ordnance station that can match Guan Lin's Mianshui Villa. Naturally... he has to deal with various ministries and officials. Today... the higher the face Cao Cao gives him, the better the interactions will be in the future. beat!
The development of hot-air balloons can also get on track faster!
Today, Cao Cao puts all his hopes of countering Guan Lin and the future of the Wei Dynasty on Ma Jun, the Prince Consort!
He was looking forward to it, eager to see through it.
But... there is no doubt that Cao Cao's words made Li Miao even more suspicious. After having a drink with Cao Cao, Cao Cao specifically told Li Miao that both Ma Jun and Li Miao were the hope of the future of the Wei Dynasty!
This sentence carries a lot of weight!
Li Miao couldn't help but have daydreams in his mind.
——"Who is this Ma Jun?"Why didn't Mr. Yunqi mention it when he was in Jiangling?Among all the names written down, he is not there! 』
——"I need to find an opportunity to ask Mr. Yunqi... this kid Ma Jun, does he know?"What ability does this boy have? 』
Faintly, Li Miao had an inexplicable and ominous premonition...
This ominous premonition is getting stronger and stronger——
...
It was Ma Jun's wedding night, and the wedding room was decorated with great joy. Cao Ying had already put down his fan, and was sitting quietly by the couch in a rich dress, with her long red skirt trailing on the floor.
The sound of music floated faintly in the front hall, and the lights flickered, but it took a long time...
Cao Ying still hasn't waited for her husband.
That's right, it's a young man named Ma Jun, who seems to be a little younger than her...
Huh... exhaled softly, Cao Ying said to himself lightly: "Isn't this Ma Jun not a drinker? Why...he hasn't come here yet."
When she mentioned this sentence, she couldn't help but recall that it was only five days ago when her grandfather Cao Cao, after instructing her on some military strategies, suddenly mentioned, "Baby, grandpa has arranged a marriage for you!"
marriage?
Although Cao Ying is now fifteen or sixteen years old and has reached the age of marriage.
But... her grandfather had always treated her as a boy, or to make up for her father's regrets.
Swords, spears, swords and halberds, axes, axes, hooks and spears...
There are also military tactics and tactics, all of which... are not bad, except that the one that has not been taught is the female beauty who is supposed to be a woman... She is the husband and the godson, so... the rhetoric of "marriage" is extremely unfamiliar to Cao Ying.
"Grandpa, I won't marry...I want to be like my grandfather and my deceased father, to be a hero of the Wei Dynasty and a general commanding thousands of troops...to fight decisive battles on the battlefield and to make great achievements——"
Cao Ying's opposition was expected by Cao Cao...
As a result, Cao Cao had already prepared the corresponding words. While patting Cao Ying on the back, he changed his kind cheek to reveal a solemn and solemn expression.
"Baby... marrying this person is better than being a general who commands thousands of troops. When the Wei Dynasty is in crisis, marrying this person... is better than a decisive battle on the battlefield. You are already making contributions to the Wei Dynasty, or is it The biggest and most dazzling achievement——"
...
...
(End of this chapter)
——"Soochow is far away from the country's subjugation!"The only thing left is a battle in Lujiang! 』
——"Who else is there under Soochow and Sun Quan?" 』
When Guan Lin's two words with an accentuated tone came out, Guan Yinping's eyes were fixed on his brother Guan Lin's cheek as if they were welded, and it took him a long time to exhale.
His tense shoulders relaxed, and he said in a deep voice: "It turns out that all this was planned by the fourth brother!"
Guan Yinping seemed to have accomplished the purpose of his trip and found a way to fight the Lujiang River.
Guan Lin rubbed his hands, put them to his mouth and took a breath of hot air, and then said, "During the Warring States Period, Gongsun Yan and Su Qin once united, 'All the people in the world gathered at Zhao to attack Qin!' Gongsun Yan first initiated it, and Su Qin The lobbying of the Six Kingdoms was finally completed. The troops of the Six Kingdoms, millions of people, seized the pass and attacked Qin! Qin is in the west and the Six Kingdoms are in the east. Therefore, the land of the Six Kingdoms is connected from north to south, so it is called 'United Vertical'!"
"The State of Later Qin made friends with various princes from west to east, made friends far away and attacked those close to home...carried out diplomacy and counterattacked, and moved horizontally from west to east, so it was called 'Lianheng'. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there have been examples of united forces and Lianheng."
Having said this, Guan Lin paused for a moment, and then continued: "Rebellion against the Wei Dynasty continues the great strategist Xun Yu's plan of driving away tigers and devouring wolves. Sun Quan in Soochow relies on the powerful clans to check and balance the entire territory. Why can't Jingzhou be unified? , Lian Heng? Alliance with Soochow, that is the weak defeating the strong, alliance with Cao Wei, that is the strong bullying the weak, but... To achieve what I want in this strange situation, we need to figure out some people With your own thoughts, you use the situation, the hearts of the people, and your reputation to force the other party to complete it."
Yes…
It is constantly weakening Soochow and Sun Quan and secretly taking precautions;
Against Wei and Cao Cao, they used hostages, reputation, and situation as coercion...
Guan Lin set up this situation four months ago. Everyone thought that his goal was to reverse the Wei Dynasty, Fancheng, and flood the Seventh Army. But who would have thought that Guan Lin's goal was from the beginning - Soochow. , it is the alliance of Guan and Cao under the threat of flying balls in the sky and the sea of purgatory fire.
Gather the strength of both sides and let Soochow, who is unable to help but always likes to stab people in the back, get eliminated first——
Not only Guan Yinping, Ruan Yu's eyes when he looked at Guan Lin were also full of shock.
He could only say that he was very lucky... he was among the first to surrender to Guan Lin!
Fortunately, since last year, he is no longer Guan Lin's opponent.
It is precisely because of this that we can see such a meticulous, cunning, and hidden plot.
——"Master Yunqi's plan, until the last moment, I don't know... who will suffer the loss!" 』
——"His plan was perfect. Lujiang was attacked from both sides by Guan Yu and Zhang Liao. Not to mention Sun Quan, Xiang Yu couldn't withstand it even if he was alive!" 』
at this time.
"Young Master..." He was a soldier. He broke into the room and handed over his hand to report: "Lu Su, the Governor of Soochow, wants to see you?"
"Mr. Lu?" Guan Lin was slightly confused, but soon he stopped his doubtful eyes. He had already guessed why Lu Su was here.
Shiwu then asked: "Will you see me, Master?"
Guan Lin pondered for a moment...and then said softly, "This time, the news about the Governor of Lu...is so fast!"
Yes…
In the past, Soochow attacked Jingzhou and stabbed Jiangling and Changsha in the back. Everyone in Soochow and Jingzhou knew about it, but Lu Su was kept in the dark. Now it's better.
They couldn't fight anymore and wanted to negotiate peace. Soochow remembered again that the "Captain of Lu" who wanted to make peace was here.
Sun Quan's main focus is "truth"!
Thinking of this, Guan Lin sighed "Alas", and then waved his hand gently, "See you, Lu Zijing is an honest man, he must be in a lot of trouble now -"
...
...
Xu Ducheng, a post house.
Dawn dawned.
"How could this happen?" Following the panicked voice of Soochow envoy Wu Can, his legs staggered and his hands tried to reach for something beside him, but he accidentally knocked over a piece of porcelain.
The sound of the broken porcelain frightened the crows who were sleeping in their nests in the tree.
For a moment, the cry of "quack, quack, quack" resounded, and a group of crows flew up in confusion and panic.
This…
This is exactly how Wu Can is feeling now.
As for the reason, he just received an urgent message from Soochow. The convoy escorting Zhuge Jin was hijacked and General Zhu Zhi died tragically in battle. In fact...if it was just this, then Wu Can would never be so panicked.
But what followed was beyond the limit that Wu Can could bear.
According to the story of Wu Jun who escaped back, it was Cao Wei's Zhang Liao who led the Wei army to disguise themselves as the Jingzhou army, robbed them, and safely sent the Zhuge clan's convoy to Jingzhou.
Then...the most incredible thing came, Cao Wei actually "backstabbed" Soochow!
Hefei was captured like a storm!
In the past four months, all the cities in Huainan that Soochow had worked so hard to capture surrendered overnight...The entire Huainan changed into the King's Banner overnight——
This…
With a "gudong" sound, the panicked Wu Can couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and his pupils also widened to their maximum size.
The current situation is terrifying for Soochow.
On one side, Zhang Wenyuan is ready to go south to collect the nectar;
On one side are Guan Yu, Chen Bing and Chai Sang, eyeing Lujiang City with eager eyes.
Subconsciously, what came to my mind was one sentence - "Soochow is going to end, it's over!" 』
Then, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something and shouted out of reflex.
"Zhuge Ziyu? Where is Zhuge Ziyu?"
He ran out of his house like crazy, but when he arrived at Zhuge Jin's room, there was no one anywhere.
Zhuge Jin - disappeared!
...
Autumn is high and crisp, and there are many people outing by the Yingshui River. There are blankets everywhere, sitting on the ground in twos and threes, and some people are composing poems by drinking water. The mountains are soft, the water is soft, and the warm breeze is intoxicating.
Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke came here on horseback, and they chose a place by the water a little far away from others.
There were several children from rich families flying kites next to them, shouting...
There were also several personal guards of Zhuge Ke, who looked around vigilantly.
On the other hand, the horses that came here together didn't have that much thought and were chewing the grass leisurely.
Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke were sitting around a mat with some wine and fruits on it.
Zhuge Jin seemed to have something on his mind, with a stern look on his face as he stared at the river...
Zhuge Ke picked up a glass of wine and knelt down straight: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. The child used tricks to achieve loyalty and filial piety, but he never thought that he would make his father fall into injustice. This glass of wine... is the child's apology to his father. If dad still isn’t relieved...someone comes..."
Zhuge Ke shouted to the attendant beside him.
Immediately, a personal guard came over and asked, "Master Zhuge, what are your orders?"
"Get the riding crop!"
The guard was stunned, "What to do?"
Zhuge Ke looked at Zhuge Jin and said calmly, "My biological father will impose family laws on my unfilial son!"
This... personal guard was in a dilemma. His steps were like lead and he didn't dare to move. He muttered in a low voice, "Really... really take it?"
Zhuge Ke winked and said, "Do I seem to be showing off? The gift of childbirth is greater than heaven. Even if I have been adopted by my biological father and passed on to others, if my biological father wants to teach me a lesson, that is what I should do. Go and get it..."
Now...the guard had no choice but to walk towards the horse step by step.
Zhuge Jin finally calmed down his worries and said, "Okay, okay, don't take any riding whip... How can anyone punish an adopted child?"
Zhuge Ke laughed when he heard this, "Let me just say, when I was a child, I did bad things and caused trouble. No matter how big the trouble was, it was my father who stepped in to solve it for me. At that time, my father was not willing to hit me. Now, Where can I start?"
After listening to his son's words, Zhuge Jin took the wine bottle...drank it in one gulp, and sighed: "No matter what, you won this time. On the surface, Wei and Wu joined forces to seize Jingzhou, but behind the scenes...it was 'Guan and Cao joined forces.' , jointly defeating Wu, what a great overall situation, if I had not received the intelligence from Soochow today, I... would still be kept in the dark!"
"...I have to say that this layout is very exciting and unpredictable. As expected...Guan Yunqi is the best at this, but you...are sophistry and courage, words and forbearance in being an envoy, haha... Then Guan Yunqi defeated Soochow and Cao Cao, and you defeated me. This bottle... shouldn't be an apology wine, this should be a celebration wine for you!"
While talking, Zhuge Jin filled another bottle and drank it in one gulp.
The whole expression was a complete release, but there was a little bit of separation sadness in this release.
"I understand what my father means..." Zhuge Ke said solemnly: "My father is happy for me, but also feels sorry for Soochow... In fact, my father was reused by the Marquis of Wu and replaced Zhang Zhao as the long history. This is not because his father is greedy. Official position and power, but to provide a path for the Zhuge family..."
Zhuge Ke was able to lead the conversation here, which surprised Zhuge Jin even more.
Even with his curiosity...
The beautiful piece of Lantian jade he had carved in front of him since he was a child has now been carved into a completely new look in Guan Lin's hands.
Zhuge Ke's words continued.
"Master Yunqi always taught me that I need to be able to understand the game...see through the situation. He even told me that the plan set by the Langya Zhuge clan was also a game, so I tried to ask him...what was the game set by the Langya Zhuge clan? ? He told me in detail without reservation..."
Zhuge Ke began to talk eloquently, "Actually...the development of my father and stepfather were exactly the same. My father lived in exile from Xuzhou to Jiangdong, while Kongming's stepfather lived in exile in Jingzhou from Xuzhou. My father, Bu Zhi and Yan Zhen formed a gentle relationship. The Huaisi exile faction, Kong Ming’s stepfather formed the Jingzhou exile faction with Sima Hui, Xu Shu, Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, and Meng Gongwei..."
"Sun Ce died unexpectedly in Jiangdong. His father and the people living in exile gathered together to support his elder brother Sun Quan but not his younger brother Sun Yi. Liu Biao in Jingzhou was seriously ill and had a different owner in Jingzhou. His stepfather supported his elder brother Liu Qi but not his younger brother Liu Cong. Here in Jiangdong The elder brother Sun Quan came to power, and the younger brother Sun Yi lost power. Zhang Zhao, the chief historian who had previously supported his younger brother Sun Yi, was replaced by his father, and his father became the new chief historian! But in Jingzhou, the same thing... Under the same game, the elder brother Liu Qi came to power, and Uncle Liu Huang succeeded Liu Qi. , his younger brother Liu Cong lost power and claimed to be no match for Emperor Uncle Liu, so he was forced to surrender to Cao Cao. Cai Mao, the Jingzhou military advisor general who had previously supported his younger brother, was replaced by his stepfather and became the new military advisor Zhonglang..."
"Here in Jiangdong, my father is too wise. Even if he is a confidant who supports Sun Quan, Sun Ce's mistakes are clear in his mind and he does not dare to challenge the local nobles. The local clans are headed by Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang, so My father kept his attitude low and never overstepped his authority;"
"On Uncle Liu's side, Kong Ming's stepfather also understood very well that even if he was Uncle Liu's military advisor, he could not challenge the local clans. After the Jingzhou clan returned to Cao Cao from Cai and Kuai, only Pang, Ma, Xiang, and Xi were left. Of the four families, the Pang family was second to none, so Kong Ming’s stepfather recommended Pang Tong to rule Jingzhou, and even in the face of such an important operation as the Western Expedition, he strongly recommended Pang Tong... He was willing to raise food and provide logistics."
At this point, Zhuge Ke paused and continued: "After Uncle Liu captured Yizhou, he sent Kong Ming's stepfather to Chengdu to garrison in the center of the new territory. Similarly, if Soochow captured Jingzhou, he would definitely send his father to Nanjun. The prefect... his father, as the leader of the Huaisi faction, wanted to help Sun Quan handle the relationship between the Huaisi faction and the big families, and to check and balance all parties. The core conflict that Kong Ming's stepfather wanted to help Uncle Liu deal with was between the Jingzhou faction and the Dongzhou faction. The contradiction between..."
At this point, it seems... Zhuge Ke's words have come to an abrupt end before he has finished speaking.
Zhuge Jin, who was fascinated by what he heard, couldn't help but mutter in his heart:
——"How could he, Guan Yunqi, know?"Do you still know so clearly? 』
With this thought in his mind, Zhuge Jin then asked: "What's next? Then Guan Yunqi...what else did he say?"
He was trembling as he spoke.
Because in his opinion, this is too terrible.
He and his younger brother Zhuge Liang are walking the same path and have similar plans...
This point... was discussed when they parted ways in Langya.
In the whole world...except for his father Zhuge Xuan, no one else knows about it.
Even after Zhuge Xuan died, his son Zhuge Yan was now an official in Cao Wei, and it was absolutely impossible for him to tell Guan Lin these things.
In other words, the Langya Zhuge family secretly planned this series of routes, and it was through clues that Guan Yunqi completely and completely saw through it!
Zhuge Jin suddenly felt that he... or rather his clansmen, were as naked in front of Guan Lin... being seen clearly and without reservation.
This…
Such a Sekishiro is so terrifying!
——A terrible opponent!
"Master Yun Qi only told me these things... He may have predicted the rest, but the situation has not reached that point yet. I guess it is inconvenient for him to tell me."
Indeed...if we follow the original rules of history.
The development of the next two people is also generally the same. Both of them hold military power. Zhuge Liang represents the Jingzhou faction and Li Yan of the Dongzhou faction competes in Shu...
Zhuge Jin represents the Huaisi faction and the big family represented by Lu Xun competes in the military and political fields!
The difference is that when facing Cao Wei, Zhuge Liang has been attacking and Zhuge Jin has been defending; but the same point is that even in the end, neither of them defeated Sima Yi!
Zhuge Jin still felt shocked: "These are really what Guan Yunqi said..."
"Yes!" Zhuge Ke continued, "I asked Mr. Yunqi again at that time. I said that Soochow is just a trapped beast still fighting. He can hold on tightly, but he still can't fight out. I asked him if there is any way to do it. Rescue dad from the trapped beast. Mr. Yun Qi said, unless three conditions are met..."
This…
Today, there were too many things that surprised Zhuge Jin. He would never have thought that this adopted son was still thinking about how to pull his biological father out of the quagmire.
Zhuge Jin would never have imagined that Guan Lin would actually answer the call... saying that he met three conditions... this...
"What... what conditions?"
"First, the people of the Zhuge family cannot be controlled by Soochow. Bring them to Jingzhou so that they will not become the means and methods of Soochow's control! Second, Soochow is in danger, and it is natural to stay in Jiangdong. Take the road of death. Dad is such a wise man. He will be loyal, but not foolishly loyal. He will not kill himself by flying moths into the flame..."
Phew... Following his son's words, Zhuge Jin let out a long breath.
He could not help but sigh:
——"That Guan Lin, judging people... is really... really accurate!"Can Guan Lin... be... able to turn into a roundworm in a person's stomach? 』
The more he sighed, the more eager Zhuge Jin was to open his mouth.
"What about...the third one?"
Zhuge Ke said directly without thinking: "The third rule is that you have to let dad go. You can never go back -" With this sentence, Zhuge Jin, who had stood up because of excitement, trembled all over and his legs shook. , and suddenly sat down again, sitting on the bamboo mat.
His pupils were widened, his eyes full of incredible surprise, frustration and confusion at the embarrassing situation he was in.
Yes…
Cao Wei stabbed Soochow in the back, attacked Huainan by surprise, and captured Hefei...
This alone is enough to confirm the complete failure of Soochow's diplomacy, making Zhuge Jin fall short in his mission to Cao Wei, and even... becoming a sinner in the world.
he?Can you still go back?
He went back?Isn’t that sending someone to death?What's the point?
Just when Zhuge Jin thought of this, the sound of horse hooves sounded loudly beside the road. It was a carriage, and the carriage stopped near Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke.
I saw the door of the carriage open, and running out of it was Wu Can, the envoy of Soochow.
Seeing him, Zhuge Jin was inexplicably startled, and it was accompanied by some indescribable complexity, and he kept muttering in his heart.
——"Isn't this Wu Can escorting me to Soochow to accept my crime and die?"If this is the case...I...should I go back?Can I still go back? 』
Just as Zhuge Jin was struggling in his heart.
Wu Can had already walked in front of the two of them. His Chinese character face was like a bitter gourd at this moment. He first met Zhuge Jin's eyes...
Then he asked, "Tzuyu also knows!"
This... Zhuge Jin pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily.
He originally thought that Wu Can would take him back to Soochow to plead guilty... Zhuge Jin hadn't decided yet whether he would go back or not... and if he didn't go back, what kind of excuse would he give to him.
I never thought... at this moment.
With a "click" sound, Wu Can turned his head and knelt down towards Zhuge Ke, holding Zhuge Ke's thigh tightly with both hands.
This scene directly stunned Zhuge Jin...
Zhuge Jin was also confused...
This?what's the situation?
At this moment, Wu Chan opened his mouth, "Yuanxun, Yuanxun, I know the person behind you has great supernatural powers, please... please... please, for the sake of your biological father Zhuge Ziyu, please let the person behind you Help me too! Ask him to help me... take my people to Jingzhou, this Soochow... this Soochow... I... I will definitely not go back!"
what…
If Wu Can knelt down, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke were surprised.
But now, his words... were like a bolt from the blue, making Zhuge Jin freeze in place... So much so that he subconsciously asked, "No... not going back?"
Wu Can continued: "Yinglong is considered a god because of his ability to bend and stretch, and the phoenix is considered precious because it is good at singing. Why must he dedicate himself to a dying place like Soochow and be foolishly loyal to the Sun family that is about to perish?"
Speaking of this, Wu Chan's voice became even louder, but his face was full of tears, and he was full of emotions, "A good bird chooses a tree to roost, and a good minister chooses his master to work! Ziyu, Ziyu, don't let loyalty ruin you and me. !”
Wu Can's words seemed to be the last straw that broke Zhuge Jin's persistence.
Zhuge Ke's eyes lit up.I muttered in my heart:
——"This Wu Chan is simply a divine assist!" 』
——"This must happen!" 』
...
...
Over there, on the outskirts of Xudu, on the banks of the Ying River, as the river flows, Zhuge Jin is still going through his most difficult decision.
Here, in Xudu City, today is a good day. Cao Cao's granddaughter Cao Ying is marrying an ordinary young man "Ma Jun"
Day.
Listening to the sound of gongs and drums, I watched Ma Jun ride on a tall horse to the palace of Wei to marry Cao Ying.
Many people talked among themselves.
"Who is the prince's consort riding on the tall horse?"
"I am marrying Cao Ying, whom King Wei loves the most. He has been with him for a long time and taught him personally..."
"Princess Cao Ying is the daughter of the eldest son of the Wei Dynasty, Cao Ang. Ever since the eldest son Cao Ang died in Wancheng, the king has felt that he owes this princess!"
Just then...a voice came out from the crowd.
"Ma Jun? Why is he...he...isn't he a stammer? Why did the king marry his most beloved granddaughter to a stammer? This...this...this...isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?"
Obviously, this person knew Ma Jun, and after recognizing Ma Jun on the tall horse, this person subconsciously exclaimed.
But, as this voice came out.
A sharp voice came - "How dare you insult the Prince Consort, take it down -"
Immediately, several officers and soldiers captured the man on the spot and took him to prison.
Following such an episode, the people who were still talking about each other tacitly shut their mouths and no longer dared to say even one sentence to the unknown Ma Jun.
In front of the gate of the mansion newly given to Ma Jun by King Cao Cao of Wei, gongs and drums were being beaten. Cheng Yu stood in front of the gate to greet the guests and bowed to the guests. The lights in the courtyard were dimly lit like daylight.
Cheng Yu then sent Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Sima Yi, Jia Kui and others into the mansion. The blind Xiahou Dun, supported by Li Miao, came hand in hand with a group of Cao clan generals and dismounted at the door.
Cheng Yu couldn't help but be startled when he saw Xiahou Dun.
Li Miao smiled and said, "General Xiahou came here specifically for his niece's wedding..."
Cheng Yu could only whisper: "General Xiahou is Princess Cao Ying's natal family. According to the rules... he should also go to the banquet in King Wei's palace."
"It doesn't matter..." Xiahou Dun waved his hand, "It's the same wherever you eat!"
Indeed, this wedding banquet is the same no matter where you eat it.
But, as the saying goes - if the mountains are not high, there will be immortals, and if the water is not deep, there will be dragons, and there will be names!
Xiahou Dun's appearance here was undoubtedly an attitude that brought everyone's discussion about the "little-known" Ma Jun to an abrupt end.
The king of Wei could recruit him as his grandson-in-law, Xiahou Dun, who had limited mobility, could also come to support him, and even Cheng Yu could welcome guests outside the door in person. With such specifications... even a fool could sense something.
King Cao Cao has great regard for Ma Jun——
...
Today's wedding scene is in the courtyard of Ma Jun's family.
Therefore, Ma Jun is needed to bring Cao Ying back from Wei Palace...
It stands to reason that the marriage of these Wei princesses should be held in the Palace of Wei. This indicates that the marriage is a second marriage and that the status of the Princess of Wei is higher than that of the Prince Consort.
However, the choice of address...is in Ma Jun's mansion, which is also very revealing.
At least it shows that... in the view of King Wei, this is not a "downward marriage", but an "equal marriage"... "Downward marriage" and "equal marriage", although there is a one-word difference, but the status of a man, in the opinion of outsiders, But it's completely different.
The whole process of Ma Jun going to the palace of Wei to marry was extremely smooth.
Logically speaking, based on his status... it should be easy for the King of Hell, but the devil is difficult to deal with... Who would have thought that every checkpoint was extremely smooth, there was not too much blame at all, and everyone was extremely enthusiastic about Ma Jun.
During the process, Ma Jun never dared to look at Cao Ying because he was nervous because it was his first time to participate in this kind of ceremony and there were so many noble people around him.
After leaving the palace of King Wei, I turned my head inadvertently and saw Cao Ying's face in full dress for the first time through the car window. Although she was half-hiding it with a fan, her radiant beauty and heroic spirit were still there. Ma Jun was still stunned.
"The son has returned, a good daughter and a good son-in-law, a good family and a good family, Jun'er... You must be kind to the granddaughter that I love most! Don't forget that from today on, you are my grandson-in-law, Cao Cao. When Wei is prosperous, both will be prosperous, and when one is defeated, both will be harmed!"
Cao Cao deliberately emphasized the last eight words - one will be prosperous, one will be prosperous, one will be harmed, all will be harmed!
You know, in such a special situation, in such a special wedding, there is no doubt that... Cao Cao's words are much more meaningful.
Cheng Yu and Jia Xu recognized the smell and looked deeply.
But most people didn't expect this, so they just cheered and applauded the beautiful couple.
Qinglu is built in the southwest corner of the yard, which is considered an auspicious position...
There was a banquet in the courtyard. Even though the house given by Cao Cao was very spacious, it seemed very crowded because there were so many people. The courtyard was filled with noisy drums and guests, and there were sounds of joy everywhere.
Cao Ying sat alone in the green hut, covering her face with a fan. There was an untouched Tailao on the table in front of her. A group of children held hands and danced and sang around her, "The peach blossoms shine brightly. When the son returns, it is suitable for his family... When the peach blossoms grow, its leaves are pure. When the son returns, it is suitable for his family."
On the other hand, at the banquet in the courtyard, many people toasted to Xiahou Dun.
"Old General, I'm so happy..."
"Yes, a man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful appearance, a match made in heaven."
"From now on, our Cao Ying... won't bully that kid Ma Jun, right?"
Under a series of questions, for each question, someone offered a bottle of wine to Xiahou Dun.
Li Miao sat next to Xiahou Dun, helping Xiahou Dun from drinking wine from time to time, as if... Xiahou Dun, who had lost his son, already regarded Li Miao as a relative.
Just as the atmosphere became more and more heated.
"Hahahaha..." Amid a hearty laugh, Cao Cao appeared... He strode into the banquet.
When everyone saw Cao Cao, they all raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty!"
However, Cao Cao signaled to everyone that it was time to drink and eat. He seemed quite happy and said with a big smile: "Gu Ke is just a precious granddaughter. Today, Gu Ke married this precious granddaughter to the Prince Consort, and from now on From now on, the Prince Consort will be like Gu’s own grandson!”
At this point, Cao Cao picked up the jug, "It's a pity...my grandson-in-law doesn't know how to drink, so he can't come to entertain guests, but it doesn't matter, come on, come on. Today, my great-grandfather-in-law will toast you all on his behalf. Let's change Big bowl, one bowl for each of you—"
This…
If it was Xiahou Dun who originally gave Ma Jun a lot of face through etiquette, then now... Cao Cao's appearance has undoubtedly... greatly raised the face of his grandson-in-law.
Let everyone realize a problem: - "This Prince Consort is probably not a mortal!" 』
Of course, Cao Cao also had his own plan. Ma Jun wanted to build a hot air balloon.
Even after the hot air balloon... build an ordnance station that can match Guan Lin's Mianshui Villa. Naturally... he has to deal with various ministries and officials. Today... the higher the face Cao Cao gives him, the better the interactions will be in the future. beat!
The development of hot-air balloons can also get on track faster!
Today, Cao Cao puts all his hopes of countering Guan Lin and the future of the Wei Dynasty on Ma Jun, the Prince Consort!
He was looking forward to it, eager to see through it.
But... there is no doubt that Cao Cao's words made Li Miao even more suspicious. After having a drink with Cao Cao, Cao Cao specifically told Li Miao that both Ma Jun and Li Miao were the hope of the future of the Wei Dynasty!
This sentence carries a lot of weight!
Li Miao couldn't help but have daydreams in his mind.
——"Who is this Ma Jun?"Why didn't Mr. Yunqi mention it when he was in Jiangling?Among all the names written down, he is not there! 』
——"I need to find an opportunity to ask Mr. Yunqi... this kid Ma Jun, does he know?"What ability does this boy have? 』
Faintly, Li Miao had an inexplicable and ominous premonition...
This ominous premonition is getting stronger and stronger——
...
It was Ma Jun's wedding night, and the wedding room was decorated with great joy. Cao Ying had already put down his fan, and was sitting quietly by the couch in a rich dress, with her long red skirt trailing on the floor.
The sound of music floated faintly in the front hall, and the lights flickered, but it took a long time...
Cao Ying still hasn't waited for her husband.
That's right, it's a young man named Ma Jun, who seems to be a little younger than her...
Huh... exhaled softly, Cao Ying said to himself lightly: "Isn't this Ma Jun not a drinker? Why...he hasn't come here yet."
When she mentioned this sentence, she couldn't help but recall that it was only five days ago when her grandfather Cao Cao, after instructing her on some military strategies, suddenly mentioned, "Baby, grandpa has arranged a marriage for you!"
marriage?
Although Cao Ying is now fifteen or sixteen years old and has reached the age of marriage.
But... her grandfather had always treated her as a boy, or to make up for her father's regrets.
Swords, spears, swords and halberds, axes, axes, hooks and spears...
There are also military tactics and tactics, all of which... are not bad, except that the one that has not been taught is the female beauty who is supposed to be a woman... She is the husband and the godson, so... the rhetoric of "marriage" is extremely unfamiliar to Cao Ying.
"Grandpa, I won't marry...I want to be like my grandfather and my deceased father, to be a hero of the Wei Dynasty and a general commanding thousands of troops...to fight decisive battles on the battlefield and to make great achievements——"
Cao Ying's opposition was expected by Cao Cao...
As a result, Cao Cao had already prepared the corresponding words. While patting Cao Ying on the back, he changed his kind cheek to reveal a solemn and solemn expression.
"Baby... marrying this person is better than being a general who commands thousands of troops. When the Wei Dynasty is in crisis, marrying this person... is better than a decisive battle on the battlefield. You are already making contributions to the Wei Dynasty, or is it The biggest and most dazzling achievement——"
