Chapter 30 Jiangdong Talents

Ma Chao's joint name of 100 officials entered the "Lihan Zhongwang on the Han Emperor" performance table, sent someone to Xu Du, and the text read: "Pingxi General Duting Marquis Ma Chao, Changshi led the Zhenjun General Xu Jing, Battalion Sima Chen Pang Xi, Yi Cao engaged in Zhonglang Military Meeting, Zhonglang General Shooting Aid, Military Division General Zhuge Liang, Dangkou General Yishouting Marquis Zhao Yun, Zhengzhong General Xinting Marquis Pan Feng, Zhengxi General Wen Ping, Zhenyuan General Lai Gong, Yangwu General Fa Zheng, Xingye General Li Yan and other 120 people said: ......."

When he arrived at Xu Du, Cao Cao heard that Liu Du had established himself as the king of Hanzhong in Ye County, and said angrily: "Hmph, Liu Du? Do the traders in the market dare to be kings? How dare so! I swear to destroy it! ”

Immediately sent an order, exhausted the troops of the country, and went to Liangchuan to fight with Liu Du. One of them went out to admonish: "The king should not drive an expedition in his own chariot because of a momentary anger." The minister has a plan, there is no need to open a bow and arrows, so that Liu Du will suffer from it in Shu; When its troops are exhausted, they only need to go to the expedition to succeed. ”

Cao Cao fixed his eyes on that person, it was Sima Yi. Cao Cao Xi asked, "What is Zhongda's opinion?" ”

Sima Yi said: "Jiangdong Han Xuan, Su and Liu Du have grievances. Liu Du occupied Nanjun and did not return it, and the two families occasionally had friction on their borders, and they both had bitter hatred for each other. Today, I can send a man of argument to talk about Han Xuan, so that the army can take Jingzhou; Liu Du will send troops from Liangchuan to save Jingzhou. The king can take the opportunity to send troops to recover Qingzhou, and when the Han and Liu families are both defeated, the king will raise troops to take Hanchuan, so that Liu Du can not save each other, and Hanzhong Xichuan can also go down. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, that is, he repaired the book and made him full of favor, and he went to Jiangdong to see Han Xuan in the starry night. Han Xuan learned of the arrival of Man Favor, so he consulted with the strategists. Lu Sujin said: "Marquis of Chu, he must have come here to be a lobbyist for Cao Cao and provoke the relationship between Marquis Chu and Liu Du, and this person's words should not be believed." ”

Chen Duan shouted at Lu Su at this time: "Lu Zijing, what should you do for Liu Du?" ”

Lu Su asked, "Why did Chen Changshi say this?" ”

Chen Duan only said: "The Marquis of Chu is located in the south of the Yangtze River and has great ambitions to annex the Quartet. Liu Du was just a fluke, he won Hanzhong, how could he be Chu Hou's opponent? You have repeatedly said good things for Liu Du, isn't it your heart for Liu Duhu? ”

Zhang Zhao persuaded Han Xuan at this time: "The lord is new to Qingzhou, and the people of Qingzhou are unstable. The lord has both the land of Liaodong and borders Cao Wei, and Cao Cao's new defeat to Liu Du will inevitably turn to deal with the lord. My two families have been fighting for many years, and their lives have been devastated. When Manman comes to Berning today, he will have the meaning of peace, and he will receive it with courtesy. ”

Han Xuan followed Zhang Zhao's words and ordered all the strategists to enter the city to meet each other. After the ceremony, Han Xuan treated Manzhong with courtesy, and after presenting Cao Cao's letter, Manzhong said: "Chu and Wei have no enmity, but they are all provoked because of Liu Du. Before knowing that the Marquis of Chu had the land of Liaodong, he was the Han Dynasty and made great contributions; Qingzhou is close to Liaodong, and he wanted to send it to Chuhou for mediation. The king of Wei sent a certain here, but it was actually about the general to capture Jingzhou, and the king of Wei approached Hanchuan with his troops, attacking from head to end. After breaking Liu, they divided the territory and swore not to invade each other. ”

After reading Cao Cao's letter, Han Xuan set up a feast to treat him and sent him back to the hall to rest.

Han Xuan consulted with the strategists again, and Gu Yong said: "Although it is a word, it makes sense. Today, you can send a full pet back, date Cao Cao, and hit each other head and tail; On the one hand, let people cross the river to explore Zhao Feng's movements, and then they can act. ”

Han Xuan hesitated: "Liu Du and I have an alliance first, so we can't attack it easily. ”

Gu Yong said at this time: "Didn't the lord forget about Li Dao? ”

"Gu Yuan sighs, you ......" Lu Su pointed at Gu Yong and shook his head and sighed.

Li Dao's killing of Dong Wan has always been a scar in Han Xuan's heart, and everyone doesn't dare to mention it lightly on weekdays. It is also a loss that Gu Yong is Han Xuan's fellow disciple, and Han Xuan did not blame Gu Yong.

After the meeting, Han Xuan returned to the house, and Huang Wudie had just made tea and came to see Han Xuan. Huang Wudie saw Han Xuan's frowns, so she asked softly: "Husband, what is the bitterness in your heart, you can complain to your concubine." ”

"Qiao'er, I am now middle-aged, but my great cause has stopped. I thought of Wan'er again in today's deliberations, and now that the enemy is in front of me, I don't avenge her. Do you think Wan'er will blame me under Jiuquan? Han Xuan asked as he stroked Huang Wudie's hand.

Huang Wudie sighed lightly, sat down next to Han Xuan, patted his hand and said to her, "People can't be resurrected after death, and Sister Wan'er doesn't want you to live in hatred." The concubine doesn't understand military affairs, but Sister Wan'er is a kind-hearted person, and she also hopes that the world will be peaceful and everyone can live a prosperous and happy life. Husband, what do you think in your heart, then do it! ”

Han Xuan sighed: "Having said that, if you have a vengeance, you can't take revenge." I will ask Liu Du to hand over Li Dao and slash the enemy! ”

Han Xuan rested at home for a day, and the next day he came to the military aircraft and summoned Pang Tong to discuss with Chen Wu and Lu Meng. Seeing Han Xuan's solemn face, several people were guessing Han Xuan's thoughts.

But he saw Han Xuan and said: "Cao Cao sent an envoy to unite with me to attack Liu Du, and I also have the intention." Although I had an alliance with Liu Du in advance, Liu Du did not keep his promise to hand over Li Dao, and Nanjun did not return it. I had no choice but to lead the army myself to get the explanation. What do you guys think? ”

Chen Wu was naturally of the same mind as Han Xuan, and immediately said that he would go out with Han Xuan. Lu Meng also said: "The lord conquers Liu Du, Yu private can take revenge on the old, and Yu Gong can take advantage of the situation to subdue Jingzhou." Jingzhou is a place where soldiers must fight, if the lord wins Jingzhou, it will become a great cause! ”

Han Xuan saw Pang Tong on the side shaking his feather fan silently, so he asked, "What is the high opinion of the military advisor?" ”

Pang Tong had no choice but to reply: "My lord, Fang Jin Liu Du has just won Hanzhong, and his momentum is flourishing. And there are a lot of military generals under his command, and there are also rich soldiers and food in Shuzhong, so it is not appropriate for my Jiangdong to compete with them at this time! And the lord has a lot of overseas jurisdiction, Liaodong, Wadao, and Yizhou all need to be guarded by powerful people, and now they have just gone to Qingzhou, but they are unable to fight again. ”

Han Xuan said angrily when he heard this: "Why did Shi Yuan grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige? Could it be that he was afraid of that Zhuge Liang? ”

Although Pang Tong was indignant when he heard this, it was difficult to persuade him again. Although he has long wanted to compete with Zhuge Liang, it is obviously not the time now, not to mention that there is still a Cao Cao in the north waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Han Xuan returned to the house angrily, and met Han Hao's daughter Han Ya and Lu Xun to meet Huang Wudie. Han Ya saw that Han Xuan had returned home, and hurriedly saluted Han Xuan with Lu Xun.

"Uncle...... Uncle ...... "Han Ya and Lu Xun were just about to say something, but Han Xuan just casually echoed a few sentences and entered the inner hall.

Han Xuan pulled out his sword and slashed the dragon and danced his sword in the inner courtyard, and the sword wind swept up the fallen leaves on the ground. Huang Wudie heard the shouts and sword practices coming from the inner courtyard from time to time, glanced at Lu Xun and Han Ya, sighed and said: "Your uncle has not been in a good mood these days, I am a woman, I don't understand military affairs, and I can't share his worries." Alas......"

When Lu Xun heard this, he said to Huang Wudie: "Auntie, is my uncle worried about the conquest of Liu Du? ”

"How does Bo Yan know?" Huang Wudie asked in surprise.

Lu Xun smiled slightly: "If this is the case, I will definitely be able to solve my uncle's worries." ”

In the inner courtyard, Han Xuan changed his gesture and shook the fallen leaves rolled up in the air with his sword in his left hand. Three or five fallen leaves landed neatly on the sword slayer dragon, and the moment it touched the blade, it was cut in half.

"Good swordsmanship, this sword law was given by the great swordsman Wang Yue. It's a pity that the king's predecessor has passed away, and the marquis of Chu is a master of swordsmanship today, and the king's predecessor would also smile if he knew. Han Xuan was shocked by the words of the visitor, and then turned to look at the person, the person who came was dignified, it was Lu Xun.

Han Xuan put away his sword, put the dragon sheath aside, stepped forward and said to Lu Xun: "Lu Boyan, are you and Ya'er okay recently?" ”

"I'm tired of Chuhou worrying, although the two of us are not as affectionate as Chuhou and his wife, they are also happy." Lu Xun replied respectfully.

Han Xuan wiped his sweat, put the hand towel aside, and asked Lu Xun: "It must be your aunt who asked you to relieve me, I am worried that you don't know." ”

"The Marquis of Chu wants to recruit Liu Du, but he is afraid that he will be nameless, and the ministers will oppose it." Lu Xun said with a smile.

Hearing this, Han Xuan looked at Lu Xun with interest and said, "Oh? Our Jiangdong naval army shocked overseas, and the people outside the country all returned to obedience. I have thousands of generals in Jiangdong, strategists are like rain, and soldiers are rich, you can tell me, what do I have to worry about? ”

Lu Xun laughed loudly: "The Marquis of Chu is indeed a hero in the world, but the internal officials in Jiangdong have their own parties and squeeze each other. In the event of a major event, each faction has its own opinions, and it is difficult for Chu Hou to make a decision. Although the Jiangdong naval army was excellent, it lacked war horses, and it was time-consuming, money-consuming, and labor-intensive to transport war horses from Liaodong to Jiangdong, and it was difficult for Jiangdong cavalry to form a system. Liu Vacation borrowed the name of the Han clan to become the king of Hanzhong, defeated Cao Cao, and was edicted to beg the thief. If the Marquis of Chu fights, his name is not right......"

Lu Xun talked eloquently, Han Xuan only listened to his analysis, nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Bo Yan, you are conclusive, do you have a good way to share my worries?" ”
