The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 707
Central Plains, Wancheng.

The current Wancheng is a battleground for military strategists, not only because of its extremely important geographical location, but also because of the current situation of the division of the world.

It is located above Jingzhou, bordering Jingchu in the south, Shangyongshu Road in the west, and Xuchang in the northeast. Although it is not connected to Wuyue, it is connected to Nanjun County. In this way, Wancheng is already exceptional in terms of pure geography. The important three-point junction is over.

Even so, in these years, Wancheng has been peaceful, and no forces from all sides have ever made an idea of ​​this area.

The main reason is that there is Yuan Xi in the east of Wancheng and Zhao Yun in the north. Even if they win, they will not be able to keep it.

Piaoxiang Pavilion is one of the best restaurants in Wancheng, and its reputation is all over the city. People who come to Wancheng from other places, if they talk about delicious food, those who have never eaten Sanxiang Pavilion are either ignorant or have little money. .

Today's Sanxiang Pavilion is still open at noon. As soon as the clerk opened the plank, he saw a middle-aged scribe in blue clothes striding into the restaurant with a bag on his shoulder.

This scribe has delicate features and good looks, but his face is pale and looks a little sick. Although he is old, his eyes are wandering, but there is a sense of dishonesty, especially when he sees a few On the body of the young girl who is also a diner, she is a bit lewd, quite like a prodigal son.

Finding a clean place to sit down, the middle-aged scribe touched his stomach, spat and said, "After traveling for so long, I ate a lot of dry food and pancakes, if I don't eat a lot today, I'm really sorry for my belly! "

The clerk walked up to the scribe and said, "Sir, what are you here for?"

The middle-aged scribe was very proud, waved his hand, and said: "I have heard for a long time that your Sanxiang Pavilion dishes are outstanding and well-known in the customs. Today, I will order all your dishes first, and order if there are not enough!"

The buddy couldn't help being taken aback when he saw this, secretly thinking where did the earth leopard come from, he was a full-fledged nouveau riche.

After hesitating for a while, the waiter just said: "Sir, we have 75 dishes in total, do you want to serve them all?"

The middle-aged scribe obviously didn't expect that there are so many dishes in this place, and he was secretly surprised, but there was no change on the surface, and he still looked like an old god. He slapped his hand on the table, Said: "Stop talking nonsense, sir, I don't eat you for nothing, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay the bill if I don't have the money? Tell you, someone invited me as a guest today! Just pick up any dishes... But 75 kinds are indeed a bit wasteful , just pick the ten best-looking ones first, and give me another ten catties of good wine! Remember to pick the best wine, and don’t worry about money for me!"

The guy agreed, but couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart. It was probably the first time he met such a poor guy with such an arrogant face.

The efficiency of the Sanxiang Pavilion is extremely fast. When I was young, the waiter brought all kinds of dishes to the middle-aged scribe on a tripod, and at the same time brought a large jar of wine, placed it beside the middle-aged scribe, and said: "Sir, Please try it, this is the most famous mellow wine in our pavilion, and the self-brewed fine wine is well-known far and wide."

The middle-aged scribe picked up the wine cup, poured it into his mouth, tasted it, and finally said two words slowly.

"improvise."

Then I started to try the dishes one by one, and every time I ate one, it really had some characteristics, and I couldn't help but applaud repeatedly.

After about half an hour like this, outside the Sanxiang Pavilion, another elegant young man dressed in black robe walked in. With a faint smile.

As soon as the man in black robe entered the store, he looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the scribe who was eating and drinking.

The scribe seemed to have seen the person coming, but he only glanced at it, and then continued to bury his head in eating and drinking, as if he didn't see him.

The waiter saw that the visitor was very elegant and luxurious, and knew that a big customer was coming, so he hurriedly greeted him, bowed to the man in black robe, and said, "Sir, please sit down, what can you order, the venison in our shop is delicious The new hunting arrived yesterday, it is really unique."

The man in black waved his hand slightly, and said, "No need, I'm here to find someone." After finishing speaking, he walked over to the middle-aged scribe and sat opposite him.

The middle-aged scribe looked up at him, didn't ask any more questions, just pointed to the dishes on the table casually, and said, "Eat."

The handsome man in black robe quietly looked at the middle-aged scribe for a while, and then slowly replied four words.It's jaw-dropping.

"Eat your sister."

After saying a word, the clerk passing by his desk staggered and almost stumbled.

Turning his head to look at the black-robed man, the clerk couldn't help but wipe off his sweat. The guest officer looked graceful and luxurious, but what he said...it turned out to be so...vulgar.

The middle-aged scribe was not moved when he heard the words, he smiled and said: "Long time no see, Brother Yuan San, you still speak so dirty. Fortunately, no one here knows you. If not, you will lose your status."

Yuan San snorted heavily when he heard the words, and said: "It's useless to talk less, you won't be clean if I talk about it, fourth brother Guo, why do you think I came all the way from Xuchang to come here?"

Guo Si heard that he was just meditating, nodded his chin with his finger, rolled his eyes slightly, and said, "Are you here on a special trip to pay my bill?"

Yuan San sneered: "I came here specially to see you die, but don't worry, since you and I have known each other, Yuan can pay for your coffin bill after your death."

Guo Si smiled and said: "Pull it down, don't scare me, if you want to kill me, you only need to send one of the captains under your command at will, so why come here in person?"

When Yuan San heard this, the smile on his face gradually shrank.

"See what you mean, you think I won't kill you?"

Guo Si lowered his head and gorged: "That's right, Guo is sure you won't kill me."

Yuan San shook his head and said: "Confidence to your level, but it's really poetic... Don't think that I have a little friendship with you, so I won't attack you. If you really threaten my position, I will not only If you kill you, you will be divided into five horses, and your bones will be thrown into ashes. At that time, half of the ashes will be scattered in the Yangtze River and half in the Yellow River."

Only then did Guo Si raise his head and said, "The problem is, you can't confirm whether I will pose a threat to you now?"

Yuan Sandao: "Tell me, why did you leave Pengcheng and go straight to the southwest?"

Guo Si burped, wiped his mouth, and said, "Pay for my meal first."

Yuan San: "You bastard..."

After paying for the meal, Guo Sifang sat upright, put on a face of plastic surgery and said to Yuan San: "To be honest, Guo has already died once in Pengcheng. From then on, I will no longer be the original me. After the battle of Pengcheng , there is no such person as Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao in the world, only the prodigal son Guo Si who roams the world and travels around the world, that's all."

Yuan San was slightly moved when he heard the words, and said: "Since Guo Jia is dead, and only Guo Si is left in the world...then why can't Guo Si come to Yuan San's tent and show his ambition?"

Guo Si smiled slightly, and said: "The problem is, Yuan San is only Yuan San here, and when he returns to the stage of the world, his name will be Yuan Shang."

Speaking of this, Guo Si paused and said: "And Guo will never be loyal to Yuan Shang."

Yuan San was silent for a long time when he heard this, but he didn't get angry.

"It's okay to not be loyal to Yuan Shang, but you have to know that Yuan Shang will never allow you to be loyal to anyone other than him, do you understand? For this reason, he can even kill you without hesitation. "

"Is this how you treat your friends?"

"I don't want to either. The problem is that a friend like you is too scary. I don't have the confidence to beat you a second time."

Guo Si nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Don't worry, in the whole world, only Cao Cao and Cao Mengde are the only ones who can win the loyalty of Guo Si, and the rest of the sons are worthless!"

"Then why are you going to Xichuan? Don't tell me that you are looking for donkey friends for hiking."

Guo Si blinked and said, "What if I say that I am really here for sightseeing?"

"You think I'm a donkey?" Yuan San asked with a smile.

"Okay." Guo Si smiled and said: "Once Cao Mengde died, Cao Zijian surrendered, and the world has no master. In my heart, the troubled times without Cao Mengde and the Cao family are very boring. Instead of letting the troubled times continue, Guo Mou would It’s better to push the waves and add fuel to the flames, so that the world can be unified earlier, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment earlier.”

When Yuan San heard the words, he seemed to have realized something.

"how do you want to do it?"

Guo Si smiled slightly: "I have heard rumors in the world for a long time that the dragon and the phoenix are young, and the two get one, so the world can be safe!"

Yuan San frowned and said, "Do you think you will meet Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong?"

Guo Si rubbed his nose and said: "Although Guo has this intention, Liu Bei must be preparing to conquer Sun Quan in Xichuan at this time. At that time, one of Wolong, Phoenix and young will go with him, and the other will guard Sichuan. ...Guo Mou went here because he was lucky enough to get one, but he didn't know if it was Wolong or Fengchu...Who do you think is more powerful?"

Yuan San was silent for a while after hearing the words, and said: "Liu Wei, the son of Liu Zhang who lives in Nanman, and Zhang Ren, his general, have a good relationship with me. If you are interested, I will write a book and recommend you."

Guo Si smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said: "It's very good, but Guo has two conditions."

"Which two conditions?"

"First, in today's world, I am only a minister of the Cao family, and the rest of my sons are worthless."

Yuan San nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I am editing a book, just to recommend you as an ally of Keqing, not as Liu Zhang's subordinate, and with my handwritten letter, forgive Liu Zhang for not daring to force you."

"Second, in today's world, Guo Jia is dead, you can understand."

Yuan San nodded and said: "Understood, Guo Jia is dead, and I recommend only Guo Si from a poor family."

Guo Si laughed loudly when he heard the words, nodded and said: "Yes, yes! In this way, you can quickly repair the book, and Guo Mou can take the book to Shu soon, and hope that the world will be peaceful soon, and Guo Mou can quickly put down the burden of the world. , happy in the mountains and forests."

Yuan San picked up the wine cup, took a sip of the wine, and said slowly: "I want to ask you a question at the end?"

"Say."

Yuan San raised his eyes to look at him, and said: "I can understand that you don't join Yuan Shang's tent... But why don't you hide your head, let go of the shackles on your body, and live in seclusion? Instead, you choose such a path. Is it because you want to repay my kindness for saving your life that day?"

Guo Si put away his rambunctious smile and was silent for a while before he said slowly: "I just know that if I become you or Mr. Cao, I will never quit the world just like that. Maybe our method will be different, but We will not directly rely on our former enemies, or avoid them for a lifetime, we will find ways to leave a last touch of brilliance in this world, because we have ambition and pride, it's as simple as that."

Yuan San nodded, seeming to understand Guo Si's rambling words.

"One last piece of advice for you. Cao Pi and the others will not go to Shu, they can only go south. It is very likely that they have some troubles with Sun Quan, but they may not be in Sun Quan's army. Be careful in the future."

Yuan Shang was taken aback when he heard the words, then smiled and said: "He is your old master, why don't you expose him like this?"

Guo Jia snorted and said, "Cao Mengde is my predecessor, Cao Zijian is my successor, Cao Pi...he is just a traitor."

Yuan Shang: "..."

****************************
After sending Guo Si away, Yuan Shang immediately settled down in Wancheng secretly, pondering his experience of meeting him this time.

This time, the person who secretly protected Yuan Shang from coming to Wancheng was Zhang Yan, and Yuan Shang brought him by his side in order to be able to obtain information about Xishu and Dongwu at any time.

Zhang Yan really lived up to Yuan Shang's entrustment, and brought the information to Yuan Shang, every detail.

"My lord, Liu Bei is in Xichuan, dispatching troops and generals, arranging food and grass, making great preparations for war, making a white flag of mourning armor, and marching eastward. None of the officials in the middle of Shu can stop it. In addition, Liu Bei has also deeply blamed Wei Yan and Meng Da. "

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Is it that simple to blame Wei Yan deeply? Hehe, this is interesting...By the way, how long do you think Liu Bei will be able to go to war?"

Zhang Yan replied: "At the beginning Liu Bei beheaded Ding Feng and expelled Zhuge Jin before leaving Shu. He threatened to conquer Sun Quan within a month, but that was just an angry word. Such a large-scale dispatch of troops and horses is afraid that they will go out in a season. It’s all fast.”

Yuan Shang nodded when he heard the words, and said: "It seems that Liu Bei has spent all his money this time... Can you find out the military layout of Liu Bei's expedition this time?"

Zhang Yan heard the words: "I don't know the exact generals accompanying the army, but what I can roughly know is that Zhuge Liang, as a military advisor, will go out together this time, and Fazheng, the chief strategist in the middle of Shu, will also accompany him! Deputy military advisor Pang Tong , it is to protect Liu Chan and sit in Chengdu."

Yuan Shang nodded suddenly when he heard the words.

"In this way, it is very likely that Guo... Guo Si will face Pang Tong."

Is it a ghost who treats Fengchu...but he doesn't know how high or low it is?

As for Liu Bei, regardless of other configurations, if Zhuge Liang and Fazheng went out with the army alone, the historical battle of Yiling would never be repeated. Even if Liu Bei won this time, he would not be defeated.

Of course, Sun Quan is also outstanding and not weak...Liu Bei came out of Sichuan, fought thousands of miles, and supplies were difficult, while Soochow occupies a favorable location and ruled the Yangtze River, and its power is definitely not weak...Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng...there is still one who has not yet listened to him The famous Lu Xun is here!
Lu Xun!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shang's thinking was a little bit off. He had dealt with Sun Quan several times, but he had never met this kid face to face. Could it be that he was not discovered by Sun Quan now because he was young?

But according to Zhou Yu's wisdom, Lu Su's sage should not have noticed a talent like Lu Xun, but if he had noticed, why hasn't he appeared in the public and not known?Is there any hidden secret in it, or is it another use of Lu Xun?
"My lord, my lord?"

Seeing that Yuan Shang seemed to be distracted, Zhang Yan opened his mouth to greet him softly.

"Ah?" Yuan Shang recovered from his thoughts, and hurriedly said, "What?"

Zhang Yan said: "My lord, this subordinate just asked you something."

Yuan Shang blinked: "What?"

Zhang Yan cupped his hands and said, "Now Liu Bei is dispatching troops and generals, and Sun Quan is also deploying soldiers and horses for defense. How should we act here?"

Yuan Shang thought for a while and said: "Let's hold back for now. Liu Bei will need at least one season to dispatch troops. During this period, all troops should take a good rest. In the battle of Jingzhou, we and Guan Yu faced each other head-on. A small loss, and in the meantime I want to deal with a big thing."

Zhang Yan heard the words and asked in surprise: "What's the big deal?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said: "Of course it is the king of Yan who was conferred by the imperial court. Now he is in Liaodong, but he is very comfortable. If I don't treat him well, will I be worthy of my old allies?"

Zhang Yan suddenly said after hearing the words: "Yes, now Tuoba Liwei and Li Ru are enjoying a good life in Liaodong, but Li Ru is better. He said that he only wanted something to rely on for his old age, and the fallen leaves to return to their roots; but Tuoba Liwei became the queen of Yan, and his ambitions gradually grew. He secretly conducted private trade with the countries in the northern border and the Western Regions, and made friends and relationships. I am afraid that his ambition is not small... My lord, what are your plans for this person?"

Yuan Shang smiled and said: "Tuobali is slightly ambitious. I knew it a long time ago. Back then, I overthrew the emperor and made him king of Yan. I just wanted to test him. I didn't expect him to be so unpredictable. Back to the original shape! But everyone in the world knows that he and I are allies, and our personal relationship is very good. Without his help back then, I would not have been able to subdue Xianbei and the Southern Huns in one fell swoop, but if I attacked him first, I would inevitably lose the trust of the world , and also broke the trust of those ethnic groups outside the Great Wall who were relocated to Hebei, it is really not what I want."

Zhang Yan heard the words: "But if it continues like this, it will inevitably make Tuoba Liwei use the name of King Yan to grow in Liaodong, but it will be difficult to handle in the future."

Yuan Shang said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have an idea on how to punish this King of Yan since I designed him to be the King of Yan, and I can implement it now, but I have to go back to Luoyang first and find Jia Jia. Xu and Zhao Yun, let's see how our emperor is doing, and then go back to Yecheng to take pictures of this person."

"........."
