Chapter 155: Yellow Whiskers
"Why is Bonghyo in such a hurry?" Cao Cao was very surprised, because Guo Jia was in a bit of a hurry. Guo Jia came to Cao Cao, because he was in a hurry, his chest rose and fell, he was sick, his body was weak, and he walked a little faster, and his face was very ugly.
Cao Cao frowned, feeling very sorry for this confidant. Ask the entourage to bring a stool and sit down for Guo Jia. Guo Jia thanked him, and then sat down. Only then did he bow his hand and say to Cao Cao: "Duke Ming, Guan Yu sent his son Guan Ping to attack the three counties of Shangyong, and led his troops and horses to besiege Fancheng. Liu Biao was furious and sent the general Wang Wei to lead 10,000 troops to fight, but Sun Quan attacked Jiangxia and Huang Zu was defeated. Liu Biao had no choice but to send Wang Wei south. ”
Cao Cao was very surprised when he heard this.
Because Guan Yu had a honeymoon period with him for a period of time, after Liu Bei's death, Guan Yu succeeded to the throne. Cao Cao thought that this was a great opportunity, so he sent Man Chong over to canonize Guan Yu as General Zuo, trying to win him over, but Guan Yu refused.
Later, Cao Cao heard that Guan Yu and Liu Biao had become in-laws and allies.
Cao Cao thought that Guan Yu was still remembering Liu Bei, so he intended to help Liu Biao, who was also a member of the clan. Cao Cao was also deeply grateful for this incident and believed that Guan Yu was a loyal and righteous person.
Who knew that now that the situation had changed abruptly, Guan Yu actually betrayed Liu Biao, sent an army to steal the three counties, and besieged Fancheng.
After Cao Cao was surprised, he frowned deeply. The matter was not clear for a while, so Cao Cao asked his entourage to bring a stool and sit down.
"Guan Yu is extremely loyal, but he is arrogant and rude to the literati. I thought that Liu Bei's subordinates would abandon him. Unexpectedly, it was just Liu Yan and other useless people who abandoned Guan Yu and went to Liu Biao, and the rest of Wenchen followed Guan Yu with all his heart. At that time, I knew that someone was helping Guan Yu behind his back and giving Guan Yu advice. This person must be Guan Yu's confidant, otherwise how can Guan Yu change his temper and treat literati well? And now Guan Yu has actually attacked the three counties. He did not belong to me, nor did he obey Liu Biao, and stole the three counties without permission, and his plan must be very big. The person behind it is extremely terrifying. Cao Cao said after thinking about it.
Cao Cao admires Guan Yu very much, knows Guan Yu, and knows the weakness of Guan Yu's character, under this weakness, it is impossible for Guan Yu to stand on his own.
But now Guan Yu actually did it unexpectedly.
Cao Cao thought that someone behind him had taught him.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for people like Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Lu Su to succeed, and their intuition is very keen.
Guo Jia agreed with Cao Cao's speculation very much, and sighed: "There has always been no shortage of smart people in Jingzhou, and there are many people who disobey Ming Gong. I heard that Jingzhou has Pang Tong, known as the crown of Nanzhou scholars. Lingling Jiang Wan is very intelligent. These people were originally interested in Liu Bei, and now Liu Bei has died of illness. Maybe they launched Guan Yu and gave advice to Guan Yu. ”
"Guan Yu's threat is already huge."
Cao Cao nodded, the previous Guan Yu was just a brave general, a 10,000-strong enemy, a general of the bear and tiger, no matter how strong he was, he was just a general.
And now Guan Yu's performance is really unexpected, and he actually attacked Liu Biao in the south and captured the three counties.
You must know that during Liu Bei's period, Xinye's group did not do such a thing. Of course, the main reason is that Liu Bei and Liu Biao are of the same clan, and their strength was not strong before, and the attack on Jingzhou will not only be effective, but will not be fruitful.
Cao Cao was overjoyed because Liu Bei died of illness before, thinking that the world was stable. didn't want the situation to change suddenly, Guan Yu's threatening power actually increased exponentially, and he actually caught up with Liu Bei back then.
"The world is eventful." Cao Cao sighed and said with feeling.
But these words are from the heart. Cao Cao has always been worried about the country and the people, and his ambition in life is to sweep the world and change a bright future.
By the way, he also moved the artifact to his own home, set up a temple of Jizong, and built the emperor.
At this moment, Cao Cao already has this ambition.
And Cao Cao has too many enemies, and he has one and a pair of fights. Liu Bei died of illness, and Guan Yu actually came out. It's no wonder that Cao Cao felt nostalgic because of this.
"Father doesn't have to worry. That Guan Yu is just a clown jumping off the beam. The son is willing to pioneer for his father, and lead 10,000 iron horsemen south to Xinye, to meet Guan Yu for a while. The young and vigorous Cao Zhang suddenly bowed down and said.
Cao Zhangwuyong is also very self-aware, hoping to lead 10,000 troops to meet Guan Yu, the 10,000-strong enemy. Instead of saying big things to kill Guan Yu.
"Huang Xu'er's courage is commendable." Cao Cao was very appreciative when he heard this. Immediately, Cao Cao realized something. asked Guo Jiadao: "I remember Guan Yu's son Guan Ping, who is only thirteen this year." But can you lead the army to capture the three counties? ”
"Ming Gong remembered correctly, Guan Ping is thirteen years old this year. He led the general Gan Ning and attacked the three counties. According to the intelligence, Guan Ping had a confrontation with Wang Wei, the general of Jingzhou, at the foot of the rice grain mountain, and he was very brave. And before Guan Ping gave advice to Liu Bei, Xinye had such a scale. ”
Guo Jia nodded and said.
Cao Cao was suspicious when he heard this: "Could it be that this person gave advice to Guan Yu and stabilized the situation in Xinye?" Immediately, Cao Cao spontaneously laughed, shook his head and said, "Impossible." This person is too young, and he is already a general. How could he have such a great ability to stabilize the situation for Guan Yu? ”
Guo Jia also nodded when he heard this, the thirteen-year-old general horn boy is always despised.
However, as Cao Cao said, Guan Ping's generals are already very good, if they can lead troops to attack the three counties, and they can be brave and good at fighting.
Cao Cao thought of his son Cao Zhang again, so he had a heart of comparison. Cao Cao raised his head and said to Cao Zhang: "Huang Xu'er, I will fulfill your wish, make you the Sima of other departments, and lead thousands of troops." But you have to practice martial arts diligently, train soldiers and horses diligently, and if you are on the same level as that pass in the future, you need to take its head. As for leading 10,000 troops to be the vanguard to crusade against Xinye, even if the father still needs to eliminate Hebei Gaogan and Yuan Tan, there is no way to take care of the south. ”
"Thank you, father." Cao Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him. Immediately, Cao Zhang held his head high and said confidently: "Father, rest assured, if you face Guan Ping in the future, you will definitely be killed under the horse." ”
"Hahaha, good, good." Cao Cao was very happy when he heard this, and reached out to touch Cao Zhang's yellow beard, which felt very good.
Heroes begin in the unknown.
There are many common people in the world, many scholars, and even the Three Princes. But there are very few people who can really make a name for themselves.
Yuan Shao was unknown back then.
Cao Cao is just a gentlemanly son.
Liu Bei is just a straw sandals seller.
Gongsun Chan is just a loud little official.
Sun Jian is just a country boy.
When the wind surged, these people became famous figures in the world, and finally competed with each other and divided one side.
And now Guan Ping has gradually become a little famous, and he has entered the ears of Sun Quan and Cao Cao.
................
Jingzhou.
Guan Yu's purpose in sending troops to Fancheng, although he also had the intention of destroying Fancheng, was just a try after all, and the fundamental purpose was nothing more than to contain the power of Xiangyang.
And now Sun Quan took the initiative to take over this errand, so that Wang Wei retreated and went south to Jiangxia. Guan Yu also took the initiative to withdraw from the army and returned to Xinye.
In this battle, because Guan Yu tried to attack Fancheng, he really fought a few vicious battles, so it was quite damaged. After the army returned to Xinye, it needed to be repaired and replenished.
For the dead and wounded, compensation is also needed.
As the saying goes, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and after the war, the sound of crying will also rise. War is cruel.
After returning to Xinye, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei separated, but the two of them did one thing in unison. Zhang Fei took a few personal soldiers to Liu Bei's grave to visit Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's tomb surrounds a mansion, guarded by many of Liu Bei's old soldiers, and the people of Xinye call it "Liu Tomb". Zhang Fei didn't come empty-handed, he brought the whole pig and sheep to sacrifice Liu Bei.
In the Han Dynasty, there were two ceremonies for people with status, namely Tai Prison and Shao Prison. Taigao is pigs, sheep and cattle, and Shaogao is pigs and sheep. Zhang Laosan originally planned to sacrifice Liu Bei with the prison, but it was not easy to remember that his eldest nephew was cheating cattle everywhere, so he only used the gift of the prison to sacrifice Liu Bei.
When Liu Bei died, Zhang Laosan was the first person to come out of the shadows because of the influence of Taoist thought, but this does not mean that Zhang Laosan did not care about Liu Bei.
On the contrary, Zhang Laosan is now in a dream, often dreaming of Liu Bei. also came to Liu Bei's grave from time to time to worship Liu Bei and visit Liu Bei.
If it weren't for Guan Yu's succession, his foothold would be unstable. Zhang Laosan plans to help the second brother, and he may let Ma Nanshan go to be a grave keeper.
Today, Zhang Laosan came to visit Liu Bei because he was happy.
Zhang Laosan rarely drinks alcohol, but today he was very happy to drink a glass of wine in front of Liu Bei's grave. Zhang Laosan sat cross-legged on the ground, with a tombstone in front of him.
"General Zuo, the tomb of Liu Gong, the assassin of Yuzhou."
"Big brother. I thought that the second brother's temper would end sooner or later. So I wanted to help him, but I didn't expect our eldest nephew to be so capable, not only to help the second brother stabilize the situation. And now that they have entered the three counties, as long as they can gain a foothold, the situation will be greatly improved. Speaking of this eldest nephew, you are often not at ease, eldest brother. thinks that this eldest nephew has a strange personality, and if he is not guided correctly, he is afraid that he will really become the second ancestor and lose his family. Simply, after your death, the eldest nephew has grown a lot, and you should rest assured. As Zhang Laosan spoke, he cried again, sobbing: "Big brother, how good it would be if you were still here." Our three brothers sent troops to three counties, went south to Jingzhou, and captured Guan Ping as a dog-headed military advisor, why worry about the big thing? Ay. ”
At this time, a gust of wind blew, blowing a puff of dust, staining Liu Bei's tombstone. Zhang Laosan was distressed, so he hurriedly took the cloth and carefully wiped the tombstone clean.
After that, Zhang Laosan sat down again and talked with the tombstone, which made Zhang Laosan feel comforted, as if Liu Bei was still alive.
Zhang Laosan, as usual, lived in this Liu Tomb. This stay is at least three to five days. The activity is to sweep Liu Bei's tomb and talk to the tombstone by the way.
After Zhang Laosan quit drinking, he treated his subordinates a lot more kindly. I was also very grateful to the old soldiers who could guard Liu Bei's tomb in Liu Mound , so I also talked to these old soldiers, and by the way, asked if there were any difficulties, and then helped solve them very enthusiastically.
After Guan Yu entered the city, he was also doing the same thing, but in a different way.
