Section 28 An oracle from heaven

The executioner presented the head of Chen Gong on a plate in front of Cao Cao. However, the calm demeanor of the head made Cai Ji on the side wonder if Chen Gong deliberately fell into Hou Cheng's ambush in order to die. Of course, the deceased is gone, and Chen Gong's true thoughts are unknown to outsiders. But Cai Ji knew that the death of Chen Gong was not the end, on the contrary, the war between the ** ministers led by Cao Cao and the family forces had just begun.

And just when Cai Ji was staring at Chen Gong's head with a lot of thoughts, Cao Cao's subordinate Xu Huang hurried to report to Cao Cao, and the soldiers took Lu Bu's body downstream of Surabaya. ”

"You must be Lu Bu?" Cao Cao frowned and asked. After all, it has been more than 20 days since Lu Bu's sunset to this moment when Picheng was broken, and after such a bubble in the river, the corpse is likely to have already been corrupted. If you recognize people because of this, it is really ridiculous and generous.

"The corpse is not only wearing Lu Bu's battle armor, but also holding Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, it shouldn't be." Xu Huang replied with some certainty.

Many of Cao Cao's generals had seen Lu Bu and his signature Fang Tian painting halberd before. At this moment, hearing Xu Huang's description, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel the report of the soldiers below. Thinking of the flying general Lu Bu, who used to show off his might, but now he has finally become a corpse, Cao Cao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in public, and then ordered Xu Huang to cut off Lu Bu's head and send it to Xu Du to show the public with the head of Chen Gong. ”

As soon as Cao Cao said this, Gao Shun's face standing behind Cai Ji couldn't help but change. And after Cai Ji and Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's order, although they still looked like they were looking at their noses and noses, they also chuckled in their hearts. After all, Cai Ji and Liu Bei, like Lu Bu, are small princes on one side, and in the face of Cao Cao's "killing chickens and monkeys" with such fanfare, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of sadness for the rabbit and the fox.

However, Cao Cao was quite satisfied with the approach. Speaking of which, LΓΌ Bu and Chen Gong are not Cao Cao's biggest and most important enemies at present, but Cao Cao insisted on the eastward expedition to destroy LΓΌ Bu and execute Chen Gong. The reason for this is that Chen Gong's rebellion led to Lu Bu into Yanzhou. In Cao Cao's view, the Yanzhou Revolution was the greatest betrayal he had ever experienced in his life. In order to prevent the second betrayal from happening, Cao Cao must severely punish the perpetrators of this incident. Now that the goal has been achieved, Cao Cao naturally has to change his face to face Cai Ji and Liu Bei.

As the so-called slap in the face and a date, Enwei and Shi Fang are the way to employ people. Since Cai Ji had already circled half of Southern Xuzhou before and incorporated the Gaoshun Department, it can be regarded as a lot of gains. Therefore, Cao Cao then turned his gaze to Liu Bei and said with a smile, "Liu Yuanjun came from afar this time to work hard for Lu Bu in the east, and after returning to Xudu, he will definitely play the credit of the envoy to the Son of Heaven." ”

"It's a big deal. Bei is just doing a little bit. Liu Bei returned the salute quietly.

According to the original history, Liu Bei was still just a wandering warlord with no foundation after the eastward expedition to LΓΌ Bu. But now, with the help of Cai Ji, Liu Bei has become a small prince with a county. Therefore, Cao Cao at this time did not have the intention of recruiting Liu Bei because of Liu Bei's humble attitude, let alone inviting Liu Bei to go to Xudu as in history. Instead, he tentatively probed Liu Bei without a ride, "I heard that the king has made Lujiang County governed by the government and is quite supported by the local people. ”

Liu Bei's heart tightened, and he hurriedly responded, "Sikong praises." Bei just couldn't bear the people of Lujiang to protect Yuan Shu and bully. ”

"Good." Cao Cao stared at the cautious Liu Bei while raising his official tone, "Yangzhou has long been dilapidated after the ravages of Yuan Shu, and it is necessary for a young man like Liu Yuanjun to go to appease the people and set things right." Lonely desire to express to the imperial court that Liu Zhijun served as the pastor of Yangzhou. I don't know what Liu Yuanjun wants? ”

Liu Bei'er heard that Cao Cao wanted him to be the pastor of Yangzhou, and his heart couldn't help but be happy and worried. The joy is that he can finally justifiably avoid Cao Cao's edge and pass through Yangzhou; The worry is that Sun Ce has become a climate in the southeast of Yangzhou, and it is not easy to deal with this Jiangdong tiger. But in any case, judging from the current situation, the title of Yangzhou Mu is far more useful than the title of Yuzhou Thorn History. Therefore, Liu Bei thanked Cao Cao without saying a word, "Xie Sikong for his support." ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel good when he saw Liu Bei fall into the calculation so lightly. In recent years, Sun Jian's son Sun Ce has developed a very strong momentum in Yangzhou. Previously, in order to win over Sun Ce, Cao Cao also sent an envoy to Jiangdong to confer on him the titles of Marquis of Wucheng and General of the Ming and Han Dynasties. But even so, Sun Ce's attitude towards the imperial court and Cao Cao was still like a departure. Therefore, if Liu Bei can fight with Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and even involve Liu Biao in it, then Cao Cao can safely compete with Yuan Shao through the north.

In fact, while Cao Cao was deliberately calculating the southern princes to stabilize the rear, a series of intriguing visions were also taking place in Jizhou under Yuan Shao's rule. In the third year of Jian'an (198), in the summer and June, a torrential rain caused a mudslide in Jiuhou City, west of Yecheng. Although this natural disaster killed and injured many people in Jiuhou City, it also brought many strange stones. Some of these stones resemble horses, while others resemble oxen. Afterwards, the local officials counted the strange stones that were washed to Jiuhou City, a stone unicorn, a stone white tiger, and other stone carvings such as stone oxen, gossip, and star maps. The strangest thing is that there is a stone that resembles a spirit turtle, and on the back of the turtle, two vague big characters actually appeared. Seeing this, Jiuhou Cheng hurriedly reported the matter to Yuan Shao, who was in Yecheng. Although Yuan Shao only ordered these strange stones to be buried on the spot in the end, he did not comment on them. But this matter has spread in Yecheng and even Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou and other places.

However, the strange stone incident in June of the third year of Jian'an was not just a special case, on the contrary, it was like a key to open the door to the vision. In the following July, a villager in Wei County, east of Yecheng, saw a black river in the Qinghe River at night, like a half-cut embankment, with horns on his head shaking around, and two eyes like two lightning bolts. The monster made a fuss all night, and when the local officials sent someone to catch it, the monster disappeared without a trace in the fog at dawn. But even so, after that, people still had traces of scale armor in more than 30 steps in the north and south. So the local people called this monster the black dragon.

And immediately after the Black Dragon Incident, the surrounding counties of Yecheng successively reported auspicious reports such as white snakes and digging out sacred stones. Such visions and auspicious scenes appeared one after another under Yuan Shao's rule, which undoubtedly touched the nerves of many people. Although nothing strange has happened in Yecheng where Yuan Shao is sitting so far, anyone with a discerning eye can see that all the visions and auspicious Rui appear around this Yecheng as the center. As a result, some magicians began to say in public in the streets and alleys of Yecheng, "Dragons, divine beasts, and the image of human kings." Yi said: 'See the dragon in the field, De Shi Pu also. Even the proverb that was once regarded as a great rebellion, "those who represent the Han should be Tu Gaoye", was also circulated by some people in Yecheng without scruples.

However, not everyone in Yecheng has a good impression of these mysterious visions. On this day, when the news of a rune falling from the sky came from Liangqi County near Yecheng, Tian Feng, who was a different driver in Jizhou, couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and shouted at the little official who reported to Yuan Shaoyu in public, "You and others have repeatedly bewitched the public, what kind of crime should you be?"

The little official was so frightened by Tian Feng that he immediately shrunk his neck. But who knew that Feng Ji on the side came out to fight and said, "Tian Beijia, why did he say this." Everything in the world is a revelation from heaven. Don't you forget the 'insect eating text' when Emperor Xiaozhao was in power? ”

The insect eating incident mentioned by Feng Ji occurred in the third year of Yuanfeng when Emperor Xiaozhao of the Han Dynasty was in power. In the first month of that year, a willow tree that had withered for many years suddenly reappeared. Originally, there was no surprise that the dead tree reappeared, maybe the tree was not dead, so it could recur in spring. It's strange that the insects on this tree can actually devour the leaves and make words. And after careful identification, it was a sentence, "Gongsun disease has been established". Many people in the world have made various analyses and speculations on this matter. Soon after, Emperor Xiaozhao beheaded a small official in Ludi who had written a book for analysis on the grounds of "evil words to confuse the public", which calmed down the rumors in various places. Five years later, however, the insect-eating text was fulfilled. In the first year of Emperor Xiaozhao's Yuanping, Emperor Zhao collapsed and had no heirs. The powerful minister Huo Guang and others discussed the establishment of Liu He, the king of Changyi. But Liu He only served as emperor for twenty-seven days, and then let Huo Guang and them be abolished. And the one who is re-established is called "sick."

The people of the Han Dynasty have always said ghosts and gods, and at this moment, Feng Ji gave another example that everyone is familiar with. Therefore, all the civil and military forces present, including Yuan Shao, nodded in agreement. But Tian Feng didn't eat this set at all, but saw that he retorted unrelentingly, "The matter of insects eating literature is just a far-fetched word of future generations, how can it be trusted?" ”

Seeing that Tian Feng and Feng Ji were arguing, Yuan Shao couldn't help but rub his temples. In other words, Yuan Shao is still very useful for the various visions that happened around Yecheng during this period. Especially after his younger brother Yuan Shu secretly absconded to Yecheng with the jade seal, Yuan Shao compared these visions with Gaozu's slaying of the white snake from time to time. On the other hand, Yuan Shao's attitude towards the local famous families in Jizhou is still quite jealous. I am afraid that rashly proposing to call the emperor will repeat the mistakes of Yuan Shu. So when the strange stone incident first happened, Yuan Shao was very low-key and asked people to bury the matter on the spot. At the same time, they sent people to secretly investigate the attitudes of various families towards these visions. What made Yuan Shao secretly happy was that as the visions gradually increased, more and more famous families and subordinates began to think that the Han family would be replaced. The only fly in the ointment is that Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others, who have always been trusted by him so far, have always had a negative attitude towards these visions.

And just when Yuan Shao was so troubled by Tian Feng that he couldn't get off the stage, Yuan Shang, who was sitting on his right, suddenly stepped out and said, "Father, since the two of you have their own opinions, why don't you ask Immortal Master Yu to make a decision?" Yu Immortal Master is an immortal in the world, and he is the most proficient in the art of ghosts and gods. ”

Yuan Shao listened to the words, his eyes couldn't help but roll, and he thought that the time was up, so he happily bowed his head and said, "My son is reasonable." Come and ask the Immortal Master to enter the mansion to discuss. ”

But who knew that as soon as Yuan Shao's words fell, Frustration also followed out to stop him, "The lord is slow." It's just a battle of will, why is it worth alarming the immortal master. ”

"That's not true. It's a matter of how the heavens can ignore it. Perhaps Immortal Master Yu will have a unique insight into the vision that has happened recently. Yuan Shang smiled and bowed his hand to Fu Zhi.

But Frustrated Confession lowered his eyes slightly and avoided Yuan Shang's worship. In his opinion, this Shang is certainly a talent as he grows older, but his mental skills are becoming more and more incorrect. In particular, he and his mother Liu have been in close contact with Yu Ji these days, so that Fu Zhu has to suspect that Yuan Shang has a conspiracy behind letting Yu Ji enter the mansion at this time.

However, inside and outside the Yuan Mansion today, they have long been immersed in an indescribable frenzy. Tian Feng's questioning and frustration's dissuasion could not stop people from interpreting the vision. However, he saw that the judge and Chun Yuqiong each led the civil and military generals to get up and said, "We also thought that we should invite the immortal master Yu to enter the mansion to solve the vision." ”

Yuan Shao saw that most of the generals and strategists under his command were on the side of He, and couldn't help but bow his head firmly, "Then please invite Immortal Master Yu into the mansion." ”

Seeing that he was outnumbered, he had no choice but to pull Tian Feng, who wanted to confront Yuan Shao, aside. After a while, the attendants sent out led Yu Ji and the two Taoist boys to Yuan Shao's mansion. But seeing Yu Ji holding a whisk in his hand and stepping on his boots, as soon as he entered the lobby, he bowed down and saluted Yuan Shao, "I've seen the general." ”

Yuan Shao naturally raised his hand and signaled Yu Ji to be polite and said, "Immortal Master Yu doesn't have to be polite. Lone invites the immortal master to come here today......"

"The general wants to understand the vision?" Yu Ji interrupted Yuan Shao's words with a smile.

Of course, Yuan Shao at this time would not be angry for Yu Ji to interrupt. Seeing that he pretended to be surprised, he asked Yu Ji, "How did the immortal master know about this?" ”

Yu Ji responded unashamedly, "Don't hide it from the general, this is the reason why the Yellow Emperor entrusted his dream to the old way." In addition, the Yellow Emperor also had an oracle to give to the general. ”

"Oh," Yuan Shao asked. The military generals who were present also stretched their necks one by one and focused their eyes on Yu Ji's body. Of course, the gaze cast by Frustration and Tian Feng was full of disdain.

However, Yu Ji ignored everyone's complicated gaze at all, but shook off the dust in public, pointed to the blue sky outside the hall and said, "Even if it is an oracle, how can it be said from the mouth of a mortal." You'd better find out for yourself. ”

As Yu Ji's words fell, everyone couldn't help but look in the direction that Fuchen was pointing, but saw that outside the wall of the lobby, a bright yellow package suddenly flew in. saw that the package was unobstructed, just levitating out of thin air, sweeping through the empty courtyard in front of the lobby, and fell all the way into Yu Ji's hands. In an instant, the entire lobby was in an uproar, and Yu Ji calmly handed the package to Yuan Shao.

Facing the bright yellow package presented by Ji, Yuan Shao subconsciously swallowed his saliva and hesitated. However, under the eager gaze of the crowd present, Yuan Shao finally stretched out his hand to take the package and untied it in public. I saw that the bright yellow silk scarf was wrapped in a jade seal that exuded a warm light, and one corner of this jade seal was also inlaid with gold, which was the legendary jade seal of the country.
