Chapter 488 Wenhou ([-])

Since the first year of Zhongping, Liu Bei and Guan Yu became sworn brothers in Taoyuan, but twenty years have passed in a flash.

For 20 years, Guan Gong followed Liu Bei, and it can be said that he has gone through countless hardships and never betrayed him.The third brother, Zhang Fei, was captured by the Yongshui River to cover Liu Bei, and finally died at the hands of Dong Pi.The two brothers depend on each other for life. Although they are not real brothers, they are better than real brothers.

Liu Bei has never given an order in such a harsh tone!
Guan Yu is now over forty, how could he fail to hear the endless anxiety hidden in Liu Bei's order.

At this point in the war situation, it is already irreversible.If Cao Ren's line of defense cannot be broken, then Liu Bei's future fate can be imagined.

Guan Yu knew Liu Bei's thoughts very well.The land of Yuzhou is small, and it is Liu Bei's real intention to capture Xuchang and capture Han Emperor Liu Xie.

What is Liu Bei doing now?
Lack of a justifiable identity.Regardless of whether the Han Emperor in Chang'an was orthodox or not, it is unlikely that Liu Bei and Dong Bi would have room to turn around.And Liu Xie, the Han Emperor of Xuchang, did not ask whether he was a false emperor.If Liu Xie can be obtained, Liu Bei will have room to flex his muscles.

This is why Liu Bei still insisted on joining forces with Yuan Shao to attack Cao Cao after knowing that everything that happened in Kanto might be arranged by Dong Bi.As long as Yuan Shao can contain Cao Cao's forces, Liu Bei may have a chance to break through the Runan defense line, approach the city of Xuchang, and take back Liu Xie.For Liu Bei, regardless of whether Liu Xie is orthodox or not, it is always a banner.

With the banner of Liu Xie, it is possible for Liu Bei to gain a firm foothold in Jingxiang and Xuzhou.

Take the emperor to make the princes?In fact, there is nothing special about it.In fact, since Dong Zhuo's death, isn't the emperor used to hold him hostage?
Dong Zhuo did it; Li Jue and Guo Si did it; Cao Cao did it too!

Since everyone can do this, so can Liu Bei.Winners and losers have been like this since ancient times.

Therefore, Guan Yu launched another extremely fierce offensive in Runan...

******
In February of the fifth year of Taiping, Guanzhong was full of vitality.

A year's plan lies in spring!After several years of recuperation, the land of Sanqin has long since lost its dilapidated appearance.

At the same time, since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the first imperial examination in Chinese history finally kicked off.

From the Western Regions to Youzhou; from Xichuan to Mobei.

According to the imperial examination decree issued by Chengming Palace, all prefectures and counties have started the spring boudoir exam.In the first spring boudoir, a total of more than 3 students from the three schools, plus scholars from various places, about [-] people entered the examination room for a three-day examination.

"What? Xiping was breached?"

Dong Bi sat in the hall, looking at the battle report in his hand, and couldn't help talking to himself.

Chen Gong said: "On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Guan Yu stored water in Hei Lujian for three days and flooded Baiting. After Xiping guard Hou Cheng was trapped for more than ten days, he saw that the reinforcements could not respond, so he had to surrender in Kaesong. Your Highness, this Xiping One loss, and Cao Cao's defense in Runan will be over!"

The joy of Chungui's opening of the department was driven away by this sudden news without a trace.

Dong Bi said to himself, "I didn't expect... I thought that Cao Ren could last until March. I didn't expect that he couldn't stand it so soon... No, Guan Yu is storing water in Hei Lujian. How could Cao Ren Didn't realize it? Also, Liu Ye is not someone to wait for nothing."

Chen Gongdao: "It is said that Liu Ye and Cao Ren are somewhat entangled. At the end of last year, when Guan Yu attacked Zheng Qiang, Cao Ren sent someone to ask Liu Ye for help. Liu Ye did not take action. It is just that during the rescue, he learned that Guan Yu Sudden attack on Dingying. Liu Ye was worried that he had fallen for the trick, and led the army back on the way. Later, he sent someone to explain to Cao Ren, but according to the details, Cao Ren was very unhappy about it."

Dong Bi stared at Chen Gong, "What does Gongtai think?"

"Hehe, in my opinion, it's just a plan to alienate... Presumably, Zheng Qiang or Ding Ying is just a cover for Guan Yu. The real purpose is to separate Cao Ren and Liu Ye. Therefore, in Xiping, it is dangerous. When Dingying was trapped, Cao Ren did not send troops to help. On the contrary, after Baiting was broken, Cao Ren blamed Liu Ye and put all the blame on Liu Ye."

Cao Ren...

Dong Yu frowned.In Romance, Cao Ren is a famous general, but Dong Bi's impression is that he is a general who is often defeated.However, in the confrontation between Cao Cao and Dong Bi, Cao Ren's performance was not too bad.At least during the battle of Luoyang, he was able to withstand the attack of Huang Zhong's army for more than ten days with a small number of soldiers and horses, which was enough to show that this guy was by no means a person who was in vain.

Unexpectedly, but narrow-minded?

Dong Bi thought for a while, "Baiting was destroyed, and Xiping surrendered. Cao Cao's line of defense in Runan has existed in name only. I estimate that Cao Ren's next move will be to preserve his troops and retreat to the line from Linying to Changping. If my estimation is correct , he will abandon Liu Ye in all likelihood."

"Your servant thinks so too."

"Then what do you think Cao Cao will do?"

"Cao Cao, now he is in a fierce fight with Yuan Shao in Puyang, and he will not be able to get away for a while. Moreover, if Runan is broken, there will be some turmoil in Xuchang... With Cao Cao's character, he might be able to take risks. Come on, let's have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao."

decisive battle!

Dong Bi nodded lightly, quite agreeing with Chen Gong's opinion.

In the past six months, Dong Bi has taken away more than [-]% of Jizhou's food reserves through the sale of supplies and horses.At the same time, in the transactions against Liu Bei, Cao Cao and other princes, a lot of profits were also obtained.As far as the current situation in Guanzhong is concerned, the time is ripe.

What's more, Chungui has started her course, and everything is going smoothly.

All that remains is to wait for the autumn test to come.Once the first subject is successful, it will not take a few years for all the students from all over the world to return to Chang'an.

Is it possible to...

After pondering for a while, Dong Bi stood up and said, "Gongtai, you immediately go back to Chengming Palace, and in my name, ask Huang Zhongwen, Zhang He Zhang Liao, He Qi Tianyu, Chen Dao Zhuge Jin, and Xu Rong and Yan Pu in Xichuan." When the order was sent, it said that all the troops were ordered to be ready and ordered to attack at any time.

In addition, he ordered Pang De's Weinan camp to go out from Luhun Pass and station troops in Xuanyuan, Yique and Dagu San. "

When Chen Gong heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Your servant understands!"

After seeing off Chen Gong, Dong Bi brought Dong Tie back.Handed a piece of troll order to Dong Tie, and after a few instructions, Dong Tie took the order and left.

almost!

Dong Bi gently rubbed his temples.Guanzhong has been silent for four years so far, it should be an end...

Thinking of this, Dong Bi got up again, ready to go to Duyoubao.

As soon as he went out, he saw Dong Ji coming in a hurry, "Father, are you going out?"

When Dong Ji spoke, he seemed a little evasive.This was something that had never happened before, and Dong Bi couldn't help but be amazed.

"Bowe, what's the matter?"

The word Bowei is Dong Ji's.Originally, Dong Ji was only eighteen years old, not yet the age of a weak crown.But considering that he has already become an official, and Dong Bi himself had written words when he was 15 years old, so he doesn't care much about his age.Therefore, Dong Jibiao was given the word after the year.

Dong Ji's fair face flushed slightly.

"Father, the child has something to ask you, do you have time?"

Dong Bi smiled and nodded, "There is time, but...forget it, you follow me into the study to talk."

The father and son walked into the study.Dong Bi sat down and said to Xiaomu who was tidying up the study: "Go, get the Wuling tea sent by the third master, and make two cups of tea."

This Wuling tea is a special product of Xixi in Hutou Mountain.

Hu Zhao also discovered it by chance, and after cooking, the taste is very good.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, tea was not popularized, and many people even regarded this tea as a kind of medicine.After Hu Zhao discovered another function of tea, he sent some of it to Dong Bi.

As for Dong Bi, he doesn't like tea very much, but it's not bad to change his taste occasionally.

In contrast, Huang Yueying and Cai Yan liked it very much.And I tinkered with it myself and cooked it on the fire, and the effect was good.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, hurry up and say it!"

Dong Ji scratched his head, and said softly: "It's like this... I went to visit Wen Hou's house yesterday, and I came to my aunt to ask me, can you invite Junhou to come to Chang'an?"

As early as last year, Lu Bu's family arrived in Chang'an.

Dong Bi treated this family very well, and specially allocated a mansion, named General Wei's Mansion, for Lu Bu's family to live in.During this period, Lai Yinger brought her daughter Lu Xin to the mansion to visit Dong Bi.Originally, this meeting should be done by Yan Shi, but it was only after Yan Shi arrived in Chang'an that he found out that he was pregnant.Counting the days, it should be before leaving Runan.

Dong Bi and Lai Yinger are also old acquaintances, and when they talked about the events of the past, they sighed a lot.

As for Dong Ji, he and Lu Xin got very close.Lu Xin was 14 years old, but she was very slim.Not only has the charm of Lai Yinger, but also inherited the heroism of Lu Bu.When Dong Ji and Lu Xin saw it, they couldn't get away with it, and they would visit Lu's house every now and then.

Whether it's Yan's family or Lai Ying'er, they can all see Dong Ji's thoughts.

Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be a good idea.If they can get involved with the Dong family, then their family will be much better off.

Dong Bi vaguely heard some news, but he didn't take it seriously.

Just like his attitude towards his daughter Wenji, Dong Bi hopes that his son can also find the woman he loves and spend his life together.The Lu family... the lintel is a little short, but on the other hand, Dong and Lu Bu, who also called them two fierce tigers in the world, are not bad.

Therefore, also open one eye, close one eye and forget it...

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, as long as Dong Ji feels happy and happy, then even if he marries Lu Xin, what does it matter?

Of course, the age seems to be a little younger.

Dong Yu said: "I never said that I would not let Junhou come to Chang'an. If Junhou is willing, I will be very happy. I think back then, Junhou and I got along well in Luoyang. Although there were some small misunderstandings later, but also It's nothing. If he wants, he can come."

Having said that, Dong Bi narrowed his eyes.

"Bowei, your aunt is a proud person, she will never ask you such a thing... Hehe, who asked you to ask?"

"This one……"

Dong Ji's face suddenly turned red.

"Okay, I know if you don't tell me. That girl Lu Xin is also good, and your mother and the others like her quite a lot. If you like her, just go after her and don't be sneaky. Son, if you like a woman, you have to be aboveboard, how do you dodge it?

You can tell that little girl what I just said... Also, there is a general in Marquis Wen's family named Gao Shun, right? "

Dong Ji was stunned, "There is such a person. But it seems that he doesn't talk much...Father, why did you mention this person?"

"That's a marvelous man!"

Dong Pi smiled, "Talk to him about it. Gao Shun, if he only talks about military training, I'm afraid he won't be sent down by Old Qu and Uncle Zhi."

After hearing this, Dong Jiwen's eyes lit up...
