Chapter 399: Hongnong Yang's Clan
The person who came was Fang Lin,
The identity on the face of Yulu County is a rich son,
His real identity is a dark boss,
He is in charge of intelligence work here.
Pei Ji, Liu Quan and Xue Gui also knew Fang Lin,
are all the children of rich families in this Yulu County,
There are a lot of social interactions on weekdays,
Therefore, I am also very familiar with this person,
But they're very strange.
Why did this Fang Lin suddenly appear here,
And look at his appearance,
seems to be very familiar with Lu Bu,
At least much more familiar than they are.
After Fang Lin entered the house,
first bowed down and saluted Lu Bu with a fist,
Then he said respectfully:
"My lord, the man has arrived."
Hearing Fang Lin call Lu Bu the lord,
Pei Ji and the others showed surprise on their faces,
Seeing this, Lu Bu explained to the three of them:
"This is Fang Lin, you should be an old acquaintance, he also has an identity, he is the leader of a secret department in our state, you will have a lot of intersections in the future."
Lu Bu didn't explain much about Fang Lin's identity,
But such a sentence,
It's enough for three bright young men to get a lot of information,
The three of them looked at Fang Lin and Lu Bu in their eyes,
Again, a bit of awe was added.
Fang Lin didn't speak to the three of them,
Just smiled and nodded,
Judging from the appearance of jumping off on weekdays,
The three of them returned the salute one after another,
At this moment, they also saw that Fang Lin seemed to have something to report,
Just because of their presence,
He just said a word and stopped.
The three of them hurriedly got up and said goodbye,
Lu Bu just stretched out his hand and signaled,
After the three of them are completely far away,
Only then did Fang Lin speak:
"Lord, Yang Xiu has already arrived in Yulu County, and he only entered the city a quarter of an hour ago, and he just found an inn to rest."
Lu Bu nodded slightly,
motioned for Fang Lin to sit down and rest,
Then he asked:
"Is there any news from Xu County?"
Fang Lin took a sip of water,
Only then did he quickly reply:
"Lord, there is news from Xu County. Now Cao Cao's army is struggling in Xuzhou, Liu Bei's army has sprung up, and the Cao army's victory situation has been completely destroyed, so that Tao Qian has a chance to breathe, and now the Cao army is temporarily retreating, Xiahou Yuan's remnants of the army went north to join Xiahou Yuan, occupy Pengcheng and several counties in the west of the East China Sea and confront Tao Qian's army, Tao Qian personally sat in Tanxian County, but it is said that he was infected with the cold, and now the Xuzhou army is temporarily handled by Liu Bei. Both sides have won and lost each other, and the damage is not small. Liu Bei's general Guan Yu was killed by Cao Cao's son Cao Ang, so Liu Bei and others counterattacked Cao's army at any cost......"
"What? Guan Yu was killed? ”
Lu Bu immediately said in surprise when he heard this.
Fang Lin nodded and explained:
"Liu Bei led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Zhi to raid the Xiahoudun camp in order to relieve the siege of Tan County, and never thought that there were Cao Ang and Xu Chu in the camp.
Lu Bu's brows furrowed,
Guan Yu actually died in battle?
How is this possible?
He had a gut feeling that there must be something strange in this.
But this kind of thing,
There is no need for both sides to make a fuss,
Especially Cao Jun,
Even if Guan Yu is really killed,
Cao Jun can claim to be captured externally,
This can also make Liu Bei cast a rat trap,
On the contrary, if the news of Guan Yu's killing is released,
In addition to making Liu Bei angry,
It doesn't have much practical effect,
Now the situation in Xuzhou seems to be developing towards Tao Qiansan's Xuzhou.
But for now,
Tao Qian doesn't seem to have such intentions yet,
So if Cao Jun releases a misty egg,
This intention is too interesting.
Therefore, it can be concluded that
Guan Yu was indeed killed by Cao Ang,
However, Guan Yu is really dead?
Lu Bu couldn't help but think of the face like a heavy jujube,
Holding the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife,
Always habitually squinting Danfeng's eyes,
Sitting on a horse, the other hand caressing the three-foot haired guy.
Although the real Guan Erye,
When facing the enemy, he always likes to sneak attack,
But it does not affect the fact that it is a generation of famous generals,
And as far as Lu Bu's personal observation is concerned,
It seems that more than what is described in the books,
More flesh and blood,
is a man of true temperament,
Now I hear the news that he died in battle,
I can't help but feel a little sentimental in my heart.
sighed slightly,
Retracting his thoughts, he motioned for Fang Lin to continue.
Only then did Fang Lin open his mouth and continue:
Originally, Cao Cao was ready to send a large army to continue the eastward crusade, but after receiving the news, Yuan Shu seemed to be mobilizing a large number of troops and horses, and it seemed that he had plans to go north. Although Yuan Shao in the north did not make much movement, many of his subordinates were extremely active in Xu County. Now that Xu County is relatively empty, coupled with the setback of Cao's army in the war in Xuzhou, many supporters of the royalist family have become extremely active, and Cao Cao is now anxious. ”
Finally finished the news that Tan heard in one breath,
Fang Lin took another sip of water,
Only then did he look at Lu Bu,
Then he added:
Yang Xiu left Xu County this time, it is said that he had a conflict with the children of several major official families such as the Fu Wan family and the Zhang family in Xu County, so he escaped from Xu County in the name of study tours. Now the Yang family's life in Xu County is not very easy. ”
Speaking of this, Fang Lin showed a hint of mockery,
These are all common tricks of rich children,
According to the relatives of the elders behind him,
It's nothing more than juniors fighting, and the elders watching the excitement,
When the two sides are in trouble,
The elders will not come forward,
But in general,
Both sides will be more restrained,
After all, who is strong and who is weak on both sides depends on the strength of the elders of the family behind them.
But from time to time, there will be one or two stunned blues,
accidentally poked out a big basket,
But generally there will be no lawsuits.
At most, it's missing an arm and a broken leg,
The perpetrator fled and hid for a while,
After the elders of both sides discussed the results,
There's basically nothing going on.
Isn't this Yang Xiu's situation at the moment?
However, what made Fang Lin feel a little strange was that
According to Yang Xiu's whereabouts all the way,
He seems to have come this way,
But according to the probing of the dark group,
Yang Xiu didn't seem to have any acquaintances here.
Lu Bu's eyebrows frowned slightly,
Bowing his head and thinking,
After a while, I already had some eyebrows in my heart.
Raising his head and looking at Lou Gui,
At this moment, the other party still maintains a posture of closing his eyes and recuperating,
Lu Bu pursed his lips secretly,
This damn mastery,
Ever since this guy came in,
It's always been like this,
Though he served himself,
But it always gives all the feeling of being diaphragm,
It's like a master who stays out of things,
Lu Bu didn't like this gesture very much,
It's just that Lou Gui does have real talent and learning,
Lu Bu smiled bitterly and shook his head,
Or asked:
"Uncle Zi, what do you think about this?"
Hearing Lu Bu's greeting,
Lou Gui's eyelids trembled slightly,
Then he slowly opened his eyes,
Unexpectedly, he yawned lazily,
Lu Bu was dumbfounded,
This party is not pretending to be a master,
Could it be that he fell asleep?
As if to answer the question in Lu Bu's heart,
Lou Gui stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes,
Slowly rubbed out a small eye droppings,
Bounced it out,
Only then did he turn his head to look at Lu Bu and winked and said:
"I'm sorry, lord, I just fell asleep, what did you say?"
Lu Bu looked at him dumbfounded,
The corners of his eyes twitched irrepressibly several times,
He suddenly felt,
Fang Cai Liu Quan's virtue didn't seem so unbearable.
Zhang Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fang Lin puffed out their cheeks,
It's hard to hold back a smile,
Or Fang Lin took the trouble to tell Fang Cai's words,
At the same time, Lu Bu's question was repeated to Lou Gui,
Lou Gui still had his eyes closed,
But this time, his hands rubbed each other gently,
It seems to be meditating with his eyes closed,
After a while, I opened my eyes again,
Pick up the tea that is already cold in front of you and drink it all,
Said to Lu Bu:
"Yang Xiu is here for no more than two reasons."
After a pause, without waiting for Lu Bu to ask,
Lou Guijing said the answer:
"Ask for help and ask for help."
Everyone present was stunned,
Only Zhang raised his eyes,
His eyes drifted slightly to Lou Gui beside him,
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Lu Bu was a little abrupt,
At the same time, there are some doubts,
Then he asked:
"I can guess that one of the requests for help that Uncle Zi said should be for Cao Cao to ask for help from me, but as for the other for help, why? Is it possible for me to help him beat up the sons and other gentlemen who have finished the ambush? ”
After Lu Bu finished speaking,
I couldn't help but laugh,
Lou Gui said with a serious face:
"Even if it doesn't hit, it's not far away."
Lu Bu was really surprised this time,
looked at Lou Gui suspiciously,
Lou Gui closed his mouth,
Lu Bu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Zhang Ji smiled brightly,
He opened his mouth to explain for Lou Gui:
"The first request for help from the lord is right, it should be for Cao Cao, as for the second request for help that Uncle Zi said, it should be the Yang family asking for help from the lord."
"The Yang family?"
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows,
I probably understood what the two of them said,
He asked:
"During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Hongnong Yang family started from Yang Zhen and was re-elected as the prime minister for the fourth generation, becoming a local noble family. Yang Zhen is an honest official, highly respected, I remember such an incident, on his way from Jingzhou Thorn Shi to Donglai Taishou to take office, Changyi (now Juye County, Shandong) County Commander Wang Mi thanked him for his "inspection" of kindness, and specially prepared ten catties of gold to give Yang Zhen at night. Yang Zhen declined, and since then, there has been Yang Zhen's famous sentence "God knows, God knows, I know, you know", and Yang Zhen was also called "Mr. Four Knowledge" by later generations. Hongnong Yang's family has since enshrined Yang Zhen as the ancestor of the foundation and named the hall "Sizhitang". From Yang Zhenqi to Yang Bing's descendant Yang Biao are all Taiwei, known as the "Four Worlds and Three Dukes" in later generations, it is a veritable family, even stronger than the Runan Yuan family, although it is slightly declining now, but what is the danger? How can I save them? ”
It's no wonder that Lu Bu has such a question,
After Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes,
Throughout the history of the Three Kingdoms,
The most turbulent moment in Xuxian County,
That is, the 'Cloth and Belt Edict' incident,
It just so happens that around this time,
However, in the midst of this incident,
Yang Biao was not involved,
So in addition to that,
What else can there be,
Able to shake the foundation of Hongnong Yang,
Even let Yang Xiu, Yang Biao's most important son, come out for help?
Although Yang Biao and Cao Cao have different political views,
Above the court,
and Kong Rong and others are artificially authentic royalist factions,
But this person knows quite a bit about being an official,
It is very popular above the court,
And because of its uprightness,
It also makes many people in the government and the opposition respect,
Including Cao Cao himself,
Therefore, although Cao Cao does not like Yang Biao,
But I also admire him very much,
It's impossible to kill easily.
Lou Gui cleared his throat at this time,
And the people went according to their prestige,
He tidied up his clothes,
Only then did he speak slowly:
"Since the dedication of the emperor to the capital of Xu County, Cao Sikong has worked hard to make the court well. However, there are also many people who are ready to make a move in this situation. This person also said that the situation in Xu County is treacherous now, and when Cao Jun is in a big move and Xu County is empty, this kind of situation is quite interesting. ”
Lu Bu's eyes rolled, and he said:
"Zibo means that this situation is intentional on the part of Cao Cao, and he wants to take this opportunity to clean it up."
Lou Gui smiled and nodded slightly,
Then he explained:
"Some people get carried away with their complacency, ignore the world's major affairs, and seek personal gain in the name of Kuangfu. Cao Sikong is eloquent and strategic, how can he allow such a beam-jumping clown to exist for a long time, if he takes this opportunity to clear them all in one fell swoop, he can ensure the stability of the rear, and he can completely rest assured to show his strength. ”
After a pause, he continued:
This point was naturally seen very clearly by many really intelligent people in the imperial court. There is a way that thousands of miles of rivers are muddy and sandy. Once Cao Sikong sacrifices the butcher's knife, I am afraid that many people will lose their heads, and at this time, there will be many innocent people who are implicated and do the ghosts in vain. ”
Lu Bu listened to Lou Gui's analysis,
Immediately it dawned on me,
This speculation is not delusional speculation.
Cao Cao once famously said,
'Rather teach me to bear the world than teach the world to bear me',
It has become the motto of the heroes that has been passed down through the ages in later generations,
At the same time, it also branded Cao Cao's character,
In terms of Cao Cao's character,
It is quite possible that in this case,
Destroy the many discordant voices together,
However, Lu Bu still has some questions:
"But after all, his Hongnong Yang family is also a representative of Shilin, how dare Cao Cao do this without conclusive evidence, this will definitely cause turmoil in the court, and may even affect his foundation."
When Lou Gui heard this, he chuckled:
"Although the Hongnong Yang family has a deep foundation, it is not as smart as the Yuan family in Runan, the Yuan family released the family power early, and has a good power, the Yang family's old antiques, but they are stubbornly guarding the one acre and three points of land in the court, to be loyal ministers, rootless duckweed, why is it difficult to destroy it? As soon as the towering tree of their Yang family falls, it is inevitable that there will be some turmoil, but once it is stabilized, who will dare to oppose Cao Sikong? Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He, and too high fame can also become the way to death. ”
