Chapter 1173: Upwind
Either the east overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, this is not a joke. All the people who used to think of this sentence as a joke ended up being a joke at that point in time.
In fact, under the circumstances at that time, many things were freely chosen by people who were in the east wind or west wind? When the wind strength of the upwind outlet increases, how many people can be as steady as the sea god needle and stand still?
Liu Bei is no exception.
The gale is coming, and Liu Bei at the moment is just above the tuyere.
"Hahaha, big brother! I'm coming!! ”
Far away in the military tent of the large camp outside the city of Xiapi in Xuzhou, I only heard the sound of laughter suddenly from the front camp, and went straight into the big tent of the Chinese army, and the thick cowhide tent felt carpet was like a decoration, and it could not have any sound insulation effect at all.
I only heard the sound of horses' hooves and came to the front of the Chinese army's tent, and then the guards opened the curtain of the tent, and a big man strode in, only to see him with a pair of Danfeng triangular eyes, two bent willow leaves and eyebrows...... Well, it's wrong, it's on the wrong set, it should be eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, and a swallow's jaw and tiger whiskers......
The light in the big tent was a little dim, as soon as Zhang Fei entered the big tent, he arched his hand towards Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and then ran to the side with a few steps, grabbed the jug, and didn't use a wooden spoon, raised his hand and poured down most of the can, wiped his beard, and smiled at Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and gave a big hiccup, "Ha, comfortable...... Die of thirst ......"
Guan Yu squinted, glanced at Zhang Fei, and then silently pointed to the table.
At this time, as his eyes gradually became accustomed to the dimness in the tent, Zhang Fei saw that on the table, three bowls had been placed, and four bean plates had been placed, containing some dried meat and dried fruits and other things, and the most important thing was that there was a sealed wine jar on the side of the table......
What a big jar of wine!
"Oops...... Zhang Fei stared at the wine jar, then lowered his head and stared at the jug in his hand, then looked up at the wine jar, touched his belly, and finally let out a sigh of regret and regret.
"Third brother, you should be more or less calm...... Guan Yu said with a little dissatisfaction, "How many times have you said it?" Now that I have arrived in the land of Xuzhou, it should be more ...... than in the county town of Pingyuan."
"Well, it's better to be calm...... Liu Bei waved his hand and said with a smile, "But today, they are all their own brothers, so there is no need to be formal, come, third brother, sit ......"
"Huh!" When Zhang Fei heard this, he hurriedly agreed, put the jug down casually, and then sat down in front of the table with two steps, looking at the wine jar with blank eyes.
"Well, let's open it...... Liu Bei pointed to the wine jar at Zhang Fei, and then said slowly, "This time let the two virtuous brothers come, in addition to celebrating Cao Jun's retreat, we have another thing to do...... I also want to discuss it with the two virtuous brothers...... Well, pour the bar first......"
"You and I are three brothers," Liu Bei picked up the wine bowl and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, "From Taoyuan to sour jujubes, then to Gaotang, Pingyuan, and now to Xuzhou, this way, thanks to the two virtuous brothers who never abandon each other and support each other...... Come, Drink it! ”
Guan Yu finished drinking the wine, stroked his long hair, and said, "Brother, if there is something difficult, you might as well speak up." ”
"Two virtuous brothers......" Liu Bei pondered for a moment, then put down the wine bowl and said, "...... Lu Zizhong came to visit yesterday and said that Tao Xuzhou wanted to show a certain history of Yuzhou Thorn...... Tun Xiaopei ......"
"Really! That's great! Hahaha...... Hehe...... Uh......" Zhang Fei's eyebrows suddenly fluttered, and after laughing a few times, he saw that Liu Bei and Guan Yu were not laughing, so he turned his laughter into a small laugh, and finally accepted the laughter awkwardly.
Seeing Guan Yu frowning, Liu Bei knew that Guan Yu had probably understood what he meant, so he turned to Zhang Fei and patiently explained, "Third brother...... Remember the Assassin on the Plains...... In Xuzhou, it's even better......"
"That guy dares to touch Big Brother?" Zhang Fei subconsciously stared at the beads of his eyes and said, only to react halfway through speaking, he couldn't help but let out an "ah", and continued to ask hesitantly, "Ah...... Big brother, what do you mean...... The scholars here in Xuzhou are ......"
Liu Bei nodded, sighed and said, "How big is the plain, how big is Xuzhou?" Whether it is the history of Yuzhou or Xuzhou, it is not so easy to be...... Two virtuous brothers, think about it, if the situation in Xuzhou is not already rotten, why bother to come to find this outsider for help? ”
Guan Yu nodded and said, "This matter is something to worry about...... Although Elk Zizhong is a different driver, he was born in a businessman...... If it weren't for Tao Xuzhou, there was no one available, how could he hire him as a different driver? Tao Xuzhou is unpopular, which can be seen...... What's more, if Tun Xiaopei is the dog of Xuzhou's household......"
Liu Bei nodded and said: "Tao Xuzhou uses Danyang people more, and it is reasonable to have a slight discord with the people of Xuzhou...... However, in the land of Xuzhou, there are many outstanding people, Guangling has two, and Langya Zhuge has Langya, there are also Lu's, Lu's and so on, all of which are scripture families, and they are not Tao Xuzhou, so this is inevitably a little ...... In addition, Danyang is also a little chaotic...... Table is the history of Yuzhou thorn...... This time it's to stand on the fire......"
Guan Yu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Brother...... Cao Pingdong's father died on the way, and there are many strange things about this matter......"
When Liu Bei heard this, he also nodded.
There is no hatred for no reason, and there is no love for no reason, the longer I have been mixed in society, the more I know that the hormone-driven feelings of love at first sight are so fragile, just like this area of Xuzhou, the foundation under Tao Qian's throne, is also crumbling in the face of reality.
Although Tao Qian is said to be the pastor of Xuzhou, if you remove those counties that only belong nominally but have no actual control, then the territory that Tao Qian can control is only two or three counties, and most of the rest are free.
Tao Qian couldn't win against Cao Cao, and he couldn't completely control the situation in Xuzhou for so many years, this fact is almost on the table, and everyone can see it clearly......
Although there is no direct evidence, Liu Bei feels that the bad murder case that appeared in Tao Qian's territory before was definitely Tao Qian's trap.
Liu Bei asked Tao Qian about this matter, and learned that Tao Qian was about to send someone to send Cao Song to Cao Cao's place, and something happened, and Tao Qian smeared yellow mud on the crotch of his pants......
Why Tao Qian sent Cao Song to Cao Cao's side was undoubtedly to ease the relationship with Cao Cao and release some kindness, but obviously, some people did not want to see this kindness.
As for who did it, Tao Qian also had conjectures, but there was no evidence.
And this Yuzhou assassin history is the answer given by Tao Qian, and it is also the question that Tao Qian handed to Liu Bei......
Or the east wind, or the west wind, anyway, the position of Yuzhou Thorn History is above this big tuyere.
It's just that Tao Qian's own rule of Xuzhou is in chaos, and what strength can he have to sponsor the Yuzhou Assassin History? In addition to a name, Liu Bei actually didn't get much benefit, and Tao Qian also knew this, so he sent Lu Zhu to test it.
Liu Bei's willingness is naturally happy for everyone, but Liu Bei is unwilling, so it will be regarded as an elk Zhu persuasion that is unsuccessful, and the two people will not look embarrassed when they meet again......
The question is, knowing that such a road is deep, do you still want to go to it?
After a long time, Zhang Fei suddenly laughed, poured wine for all three of them, and said, "No matter what, Yuzhou Thorn History!" How to say that it is also an official rank of 2,000 stones! The younger brother only uses this wine to congratulate the eldest brother! There were so many storms before, didn't they all come? No matter how troublesome it is, as long as there is a horse and a spear in the palm, even if it is against thousands of troops and horses, the younger brother still accompanies the eldest brother, and there is no other word! ”
Liu Bei nodded slightly, and then looked at Guan Yu.
Guan Yu squinted, looked at the wine jar on the table, and said with emotion: "What the third brother said is very true! Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of blood, a certain brother will also kill a way! ”
Liu Bei pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands, picked up the wine bowl, and said: "In this way, so-and-so allowed Elk Zizhong, and this sword mountain and sea of fire will break through!" Come, two virtuous brothers, drink to win! ”
The three of them picked up the wine bowl, touched it in the air, and drank it together.
Guan Yu put down the wine bowl, lowered his eyes, glanced at Zhang Fei, and then at the wine jar on the table, and sighed in his heart: With such an obvious answer, I still have to think twice...... Although the third brother is rough, there are times when his mind is delicate......
………………………………
"Father, yesterday the elk went to Liu Pingyuan's camp to ......" Chen Deng carried the teaspoon, scooped up the tea soup from the kettle, and then poured the tea soup cooked in the black black without knowing what condiments were added into the bowl, and said unhurriedly, "...... Today, Elk Zhong will advise Tao Envoy Jun, please watch Liu Pingyuan as the assassin of Yuzhou, and stay in Xiaopei ......"
"Yuzhou Thorn History...... Xiao Pei ......" Chen Qi stroked his gray beard, half-closed his eyes, groaned for a while, and suddenly sneered and said, "This old horseman...... The art of contingency is also very good......"
Chen Jue looked up at the sky, smiled and continued to chant: "This wind direction, it's going to change......
After Dong Zhuoxi went to Chang'an, the princes of Kwantung were separated, with Eryuan as the two major forces.
The land of Xuzhou is just sandwiched between the two Yuan in the north and south, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Sun Jian, the grandson of Yuan Shugong, are one faction, perhaps because Tao Qian and Sun Jian were more or less comrades-in-arms when they were in the northwest before, or there are other considerations, anyway, at the beginning, Tao Qian felt that the second child of the Yuan family had a relatively large victory, so he pressed on Yuan Shu's side.
At the beginning, Tao Qian Beilian Gongsun Hao, together with Qingzhou Tian Kai, and Liu Bei of the Plains attacked Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's coalition army, but everyone knew about it, and Cao Cao cleaned up enough from beginning to end, if it wasn't for Zhang Miao Lu Bu stabbing Cao Cao in the back, maybe it would have been completely defeated by now......
Now Liu Bei is the history of Yuzhou Thorn, what is the purpose, one is on the surface, everyone can see it, Xiao Pei is in front, as a guard dog in Xuzhou; The other effect is hidden in the shadows......
Chen Deng nodded and said, "...... The child thinks so...... However, my father ...... Zhang Zibu went south ......"
"Zhang Zibu?" Chen Qi frowned.
Zhang Zhao is also a well-known figure in Xuzhou, so after Tao Qian first arrived in Xuzhou, he also recruited Zhang Zhao, originally thinking that Zhang Zhao's coming should be a sure thing, but things did not go as Tao Qian imagined, Zhang Zhao not only refused Tao Qian's call, but even wrote a big-character poster, making a lot of remarks, saying that Tao Qian was incompetent and not enough to dominate Xuzhou Yunyun......
Tao Qian thought that he had been insulted, so he asked Zhang Zhao to be arrested. However, under the protection of Zhao Yu, Zhang Zhao finally fell into the hands of Tao Qian, and his family went south some time ago......
"Where did you go?" Chen Jue asked noncommittally.
Chen Deng said: "I heard that I went to Liyang ......"
"Ahaha......" Chen Qi laughed, "In this way, Yuanda is in trouble......
Yuanda is Zhao Yu's character. Zhao Yu let Zhang Zhao go, and now Zhang Zhao actually went to vote for Sun Ce, isn't it clear that Che Ma is going to fight Tao Qian to the end?
In this way, what should Zhao Yu, who is still under Tao Qian's hands, do?
Isn't it difficult?
Tao Qian is not a person who can be submissive, and he is even a little retributive. Recommending Liu Bei as the assassin of Yuzhou means the same......
It's just this fine tradition that will be repaid, and who is not?
Tao Qian thought that Zhang Zhao was not recruited, because he was despised and insulted, but in turn, Tao Qian arrested Zhang Zhao, why didn't Zhang Zhao think that he was also humiliated?
Therefore, it is reasonable for Zhang Zhao to go to Sun Ce.
Although Yuan Shu did not express it directly, it can be inferred from various indications that the Sun family seems to have become a candidate for Yuan Shu to replace Xuzhou Mu Taoqian......
Tao Qian is a native of Danyang, and the commander is the Danyang soldiers, and some of the officials in Xuzhou are also Danyang people.
However, Yuan Shu gave Danyang Taishou to Sun Ce's uncle Wu Jing, and then asked Sun Ce to go to Danyang to recruit troops......
Now Sun Ce is training troops in Liyang, preparing to march into Jiangdong and attack Wang Lang and Liu Xuan, if the crusade is successful, then what position can be arranged for meritorious officials?
Maybe in Yuan Shu's eyes, since Tao Qian can't even do Cao Cao, the boss of the Yuan family, what use is there? Don't you when you occupy a pit?
If you want to engage in a Yuan Shu who is eliminated from the last position, for people in later generations, they may get used to it and think it is normal, but in the Han Dynasty, such behavior naturally caused Tao Qian's extreme dissatisfaction.
In front of him, he worked hard for Yuan Shu's foundation, and his nest was almost dug up, but as a result, Yuan Shu changed hands and gave all the land and connections in his hometown to the Sun family, which made Tao Qian not have some other ideas?
Tao Qian, who was cold-hearted, played Liu Bei as the assassin of Yuzhou, which was a signal released by Tao Qian.
Of course, the more important thing is that the front anus is not Cao Cao, and Liu Bei can more or less top the thunder or something in front......
"Then ......" Chen Qi smiled again, picked up the tea bowl, tested the temperature, drank it all, and said, "In this way, send some cow wine over tomorrow, and the right should be to congratulate Liu Yuzhou!" ”
Chen Deng nodded and said, "Then, Father...... We ......"
Chen Jue shook his head, pointed to the rock in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "The east wind and the west wind are unpredictable, but the rock in the courtyard, can there be or move?" The power change can only be temporary, and it is not guaranteed for a lifetime ......"
