My Ji Han Dynasty was prosperous in martial arts, but I have always convinced people with virtue

Chapter 14
Outside Xiakou City, the Wu army set up camp and prepared to march eastward.

Lu Su looked at the large tent of the Chinese army that he had dismantled, and fell into deep thought.

A group of cavalry went straight into the camp, led by Lu Meng, who was disgraced at this time.

Looking at Lu Su on the high platform, Lu Meng lowered his head, a little ashamed.In the end, it was still a fight.

"Great Governor!"

Lu Su didn't look back, and there was no trace of blame in his words, he just said.

"came back!"

"Great governor, the last general is incompetent, tired of the three armies, the last general is willing to accept the military law!"

Lu Su turned around, walked down from the high platform step by step, and came to Lu Meng, gently holding his arms.

"Ziming, my lord and I are very optimistic about you and think that you are a talented general. As long as you can get rid of the impatience and impulsiveness in your temper, you will definitely be able to achieve a great career in the future."

Lu Meng raised his head, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Great Governor!"

"Get up! Take this incident as a lesson and keep it in your heart."

Lu Meng was supported by Lu Su, and his words still revealed unwillingness.

"Is that really the case?"

"Current situation, although Cao Cao's dominance has changed, but we and Liu Bei are still in a weak position. It is not appropriate to tear ourselves apart with Liu Bei at this time. The three pillars stand together, and the parties change. The important thing is to make the situation develop in a direction that is beneficial to us."

"What does the governor mean?"

"Come with ears!"

Lu Meng approached, and Lu Su whispered something in his ear.

For a while, Lu Meng's confidence was restored.

"The end will understand!"
-
"Wu Jun has retired?"

In Shiyang City, Wen Pin was stunned when he heard the news.

However, many disciples of the Wen clan breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Jun withdrew, so the plan for them to jointly attack Xiakou would naturally come to naught.

They can explain to Xiangyang, and they don't have to go off in person.

But Wenpin heard it in his ears, but he couldn't be happy.

Wu Jun clearly still had the ability to hold a stalemate with Liu Bei's army, but at this moment he suddenly retreated. No matter how you look at it, there are problems inside.

Just when Wenpin was in doubt, the defenders outside came to report.

Xiangyang City sent people.

At this time, Wenpin became more and more confused.However, he didn't dare to neglect, and looked at Wen Tong at the side.

"Brother, go and meet me."

"Yes, brother!"
-
The leaves were flying, Wen Dan was sitting on the swing in the backyard of Wen Mansion, quietly, his eyes were as clear as autumn water, looking at the sky.

"What are you thinking, so fascinated?"

Lu Lingqi approached unknowingly, causing Wen Dan to turn away from his thoughts.

"I was just thinking, I had agreed to make a straw title ring with that young master, but I didn't even see the parting side. Would that young master blame me for not being faithful?"

Wen Dan didn't know Liu Chan's identity.It's just that I have a good impression of the generous boy.

Lu Lingqi looked at Wen Dan, as if seeing her past self.

"Dan'er, you don't need to think so."

Wen Dan turned his head away, with doubts on his face.

"Some people and some things may be very important in the eyes of our daughter's family. You have remembered them in your heart for many years, and you have never forgotten them all the time, but in the eyes of the other party, they are just a little effort, not worth mentioning."

When Lu Lingqi thought of the meeting that night, Zhao Yun's indifferent expression and the disappointment in his heart were self-evident.

Wen Dan didn't know why, but only knew that her Aunt Lu was very depressed at this time, and before she could comfort her, the servants of the mansion came to report.

Wenpin wants to see Lu Lingqi.

After Lu Lingqi left, Wen Dan continued to sit on the swing, swinging aimlessly.

Until there was a sound, Wen Dan was awakened.

"long time no see!"

Wen Dan turned his head, and there was a child lying on the wall with a smiling face.

With a happy expression on his face, Wen Dan jumped off the swing and ran to the wall.

"Master, why are you here?"
-
Wenpin study room.

When Lu Lingqi came, in the study, Wen Pin had a sullen face, and Wen Tong was beside him, without saying a word.

"Brother!"

Wenpin let out a long sigh.

"This guy Liu Chan is really right. My Wen family may no longer have a foothold in Jiangxia."

"what happened?"

Wen Tong explained from the side.

"There are people from Xiangyang, saying that the bandits are very powerful, and Jiang Xia is afraid of becoming a battlefield, and they want us to move the clan to Yecheng."

Cao Cao's method of controlling his subordinates is very simple. He moved the relatives of his generals to Yecheng, while leaving his generals and his troops on the front line.

Yecheng originally belonged to Yuan Shao.After Guandu, Cao Cao swept the north and made this city his base camp.

Compared with Luoyang, which was burned by Dong Zhuo, and Chang'an, which was devastated by the Li Guo Rebellion, Yecheng can be regarded as one of the most prosperous cities in the world today.

Cao Cao gave houses and land in Yecheng, and gave them both kindness and prestige.

In this way, Cao Cao was not afraid that his generals would surrender to the enemy in front of the formation.

However, not everyone is willing.

After all, a powerful party like the Wen family is at ease in his hometown. If he goes to Yecheng, he will inevitably bow his head and be a man.

"What do you think brother?"

"I have no idea at the moment."

Wenpin knew very well that most people in his clan would definitely disapprove of it.

But if you don't agree, you really can't explain it to Cao Cao.

"Brother, I'm afraid this matter is not easy."

Lu Lingqi keenly sensed a slight danger.

"You mean it's related to Soochow's retreat?"

Lu Lingqi nodded.

"As soon as Eastern Wu retreated, people came from Xiangyang. I'm afraid the two have something to do with each other. In the past, Cao Cao wanted to take advantage of his brother's prestige and Wen's trilogy to stabilize Jiangxia and restrain Sun Liu, so he never asked for it. But now, he suddenly changed his mind. I'm afraid he has become suspicious of his brother."

Wenpin remained silent.

Lu Lingqi's words were very clear.

At this moment, Wenpin must make a decision.

Wenpin looked at Wen Tong, his younger brother.

"You tell the envoy Cao that my son Wen Dai has long admired the prosperity of Yecheng, and I hope that the envoy Cao will support my son and take him to Hebei to study under a teacher."

"Brother, do you really want Dai'er to be a hostage?"

Wen Tong wanted to dissuade him, but Wen Pin had already made up his mind.

"That's all we can do first, you go!"

After Wen Tong left, Wen Pin glanced at Lu Lingqi.

She stood aside and never spoke a word from beginning to end.After all, this is Wen's own business.

"Do you think I did something wrong?"

"Brother has his own reasons."

"You still think I did something wrong!"

Wenpin knew Lu Lingqi very well, but he sighed helplessly.

"In the current situation, between Cao and Liu, I have to choose a side. If it were you, how would you choose?"

"I will choose Liu Bei!"

Without thinking, Lu Lingqi blurted out.

Wenpin's complexion changed, and he asked.

"Why?"

"At least the big-eared thief won't threaten people with their wives and relatives."

Wenpin smiled wryly.

"This is why Liu Bei can't defeat Cao Cao! In troubled times, benevolence and righteousness are useless, only tyranny!"
-
On the same day, the chariots and horses left Shiyang, and the envoy Cao took Wen Dai, the son of Wenpin, on a long journey.

They did not pass through Xiangyang through the waterway, but took the land route, crossed the mountains, and went directly to Xuchang.

Half way, attacked.

The crossbow arrows were like locusts, and all Cao Jun's guards were killed.

Cao Shi held the sword, looked at the attacking person, and immediately reacted.

He swung his sword to hold Wen Dai hostage, the person he was supposed to protect.

"Wenpin is a rebel, and he really has connections with Liu Bei."

Wen Dai was terrified when he saw a group of white scorpion soldiers coming over to guard a man younger than him.

"Your envoy was wrong."

"You still have to quibble!"

call out!
A short crossbow shot at Cao Shi's forehead, killing him instantly.

As Cao Shi Kuan's body fell to the ground, Wen Dai was a little thankful, but saw the man smile.

"Now it's time to connect!"
