Chapter 717: Cao Cao's Letter
Mr. Shui Jing smiled slightly and replied.
"This is my apprentice."
Liu Bei immediately begged to meet. Mr. Shui Jing shook his head and smiled.
"Uncle Liu Huang is a step slow, I want to go to the Lord in vain, and I have gone elsewhere."
Liu Bei squinted, unwilling to give up, and asked his name again. Mr. Shui Jing said two good words in a row, and the answer was not what he asked. Liu Bei asked again, Wolong, phoenix chicks. Mr. Shui Jing also smiled but did not answer.
Liu Bei frowned, he didn't dare to force it, his thoughts changed, and he asked Mr. Shui Jing to go out of the mountain to help and help the Han room. Mr. Shui Jing shook his head and refused.
"The old man is just an idle man in the mountains and wilderness, and he is useless to the world. There are people who are ten times better than the old man to help the emperor's uncle, and the emperor's uncle wants to be a great sage, so why be in a hurry? ”
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the people on the mountainside shouting horses neighing, and the boy came to report.
"There are two generals, who have led hundreds of people to the mountainside, and they are trapped in a maze."
Liu Bei was shocked, thinking that it was likely that Tai Shici and Wen Ping came to find him, and urgently asked Mr. Shui Jing to order Xiao Tong to go down the mountain with him to greet him. Mr. Shui Jing smiled.
"This must be taken by Uncle Huang."
After that, Mr. Shuijing talked to Liu Bei for a while, and Liu Bei resigned and followed the child down to the mountainside. Sure enough, I saw Tai Shici and Wen Ping. The two generals quickly dismounted and greeted each other.
Tai Shi Ci and Wen Ping told everything about the past, Liu Bei listened, and several people discussed for a while, fearing that Cai Mao would hold a grudge and attack Xinye City, and immediately led the army to Xinye.
Liu Bei and others had just entered the new wilderness, and after traveling for a few miles, a group of people came, and they regarded it as two righteous brothers Pan and Zhang. Pan and Zhang Erjiang learned of the accident in Xiangyang and were about to save it, but when they saw Liu Bei unharmed, they were overjoyed and dismounted to greet them. Liu Bei told about the Leaping Horse Tanxi, and everyone was surprised. After that, Liu Bei entered Xinye City, came to the county office, and sharply consulted with the military forces.
"Liu Jingzhou, although he is suspicious of the lord, he has not killed him. In a certain opinion, it is very likely that Cai Mao made his own initiative and harmed the lord. The lord can first write to Liu Jingzhou to complain about the matter. At the same time, while deploying troops and horses, fortify Xinye, just in case. ”
Sun Qian groaned for a while, and quickly admonished.
"What Gongyou said is reasonable. My brother will never harm me. Immediately sued Gao for the matter. ”
Liu Bei followed his words, that is, he ordered Sun Qiancheng to write to Jingzhou. When Liu Biao heard that Sun Gan was coming, he was suspicious, Liu Bei fled in Xiangyang, and immediately called Sun Gan into the palace. Sun Qian came to see Liu Biao according to the order, and after the salute, Liu Biao first asked.
"I invited Xuande Xiangyang to the meeting, why did you run away from the table?"
Sun Qian submitted a letter, saying that Cai Mao conspired to kill each other, Lai Wenpin and Tai Shi Ci fought to the death, and then jumped into Tanxi to escape the catastrophe.
When Liu Biao heard this, he was furious. After all, Liu Bei is a clan relative of the Han family, and he is Liu Jingsheng's brother, even if he is suspicious of Liu Bei, it is not Cai Mao's turn to harm him without authorization! What's more, Cao Cao gathered troops in Nanyang, and he still needed Liu Bei to guard the gate of Jingzhou!
Cai Mao's move can really be said to be ownerless, and he regards Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou, as nothing. This has violated Liu Biao's bottom line.
Liu Biao urgently called Cai Mao and scolded sharply.
"Cai Dejun!! How dare you harm my brother!! ”
Liu Biao blew his beard and glared at Cai Mao angrily, Cai Mao knew that he was guilty, and hurriedly worshiped on the ground, Liu Biao ordered Cai Mao to be pushed out and beheaded. Mrs. Cai had been listening to it for a long time in the back hall, and when she saw that Liu Biao wanted to behead her brother, she hurriedly ran out, crying miserably and begging to avoid death, and Liu Biao was still angry. At this time, Sun Qian, who was on the side, said according to Liu Bei's instructions.
"If Cai Mao is killed, I am afraid that Uncle Huang will not be able to live here. And spare him the death penalty first. I hope that Cai Gong will not be harmful again in the future. ”
Cai Mao heard the words and hurriedly thanked Sun Qian. Seeing this, Liu Biao's anger gradually subsided, in fact, he was unwilling to kill Cai Mao, so as not to offend the Cai family, and after blaming Cai Mao, he was exempted from the death penalty. Then he ordered his eldest son Liu Qi and Sun Qian to go to Liu Bei to plead guilty. Liu Qi was ordered to go to Xinye, and Liu Bei followed and set up a banquet to treat each other.
After three rounds of drinking, Liu Qi suddenly fell into tears. Liu Bei's eyes narrowed, knowing the reason in his heart, but he still asked Liu Qi why he cried. Liu Qi bowed respectfully to Liu Bei and said.
"Uncle doesn't know. My stepmother, Cai, wants to help my brother take over my inheritance, and she often has the intention of murder, and her nephew has no plan to avoid disaster, so she hopes that her uncle will advise. Liu Bei was happy that Liu Qi relied on him more, and taught Liu Qi to be careful and filial piety first, so naturally there would be no disaster. Liu Qi obeyed Liu Beiyan, and he should keep it in mind when he said it bluntly. The next day, Liu Bei personally sent Liu Qi out of the city, Liu Qi was reluctant, and after the two caressed each other, Liu Qi cried goodbye.
Liu Bei returned to the city and suddenly remembered Mr. Shuijing's words in the past, and thought that there was no way to see the world's talents, and he couldn't help but sigh again and again.
Suddenly, Liu Bei heard the singing, and then looked over, only to see a person in the city, with a scarf and cloth robe, soap silk black shoes, and his eyes were focused, giving people a sense of unruliness, but he exuded wisdom and wisdom, and he was coming with a long song.
"Heaven and earth are repeated, the fire is about to die, the building will collapse, and it will be difficult to support a tree. There are virtuous people in the valley, who want to vote for the Lord, and the Lord seeks to be virtuous, but they don't know me. Where is my lord? Where is my lord? ”
When Liu Bei heard the song, he saw that this person was quite extraordinary, and it was impossible for people to see through. So he slandered in secret.
"Could this person be the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks that Mr. Shuijing said?"
Liu Bei then dismounted to meet him, treated him with great courtesy, invited him to the county office, and asked his name. The man smiled and replied.
"A certain person is also a person on the Ying, with a single surname and a blessed name. I have heard for a long time that Jun Nashi is recruiting talents, and he wants to come to entrust him, but he has no way to meet him. Therefore, the song is in the city, so as to move the ear. ”
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard it and treated him as a guest. Shan Fu's face suddenly changed, and he asked Liu Bei.
"The horse that the king is riding is very handsome, can you beg for another look?"
"Naturally."
Liu Bei then ordered someone to lead Lu. After Lu Lai, who was led by the soldiers, Shan Fu was very close to observe, and suddenly exclaimed.
"Isn't this Lumahu? Although it is a thousand miles of horses, it only defeats the lord, so that the king must not take advantage of it. ”
"Sir, don't be alarmed, this horse has saved his life. I love it very much. ”
Liu Bei smiled, and then said about the matter of jumping into Tanxi. Shan Fu listened very strangely, muttered for a while, and spoke again.
"This horse has this certain number in its life, and it will be the second master. Zhang Wu died because of it, go to one of them. The previous time was the heavenly helper. The envoy also needs to be more vigilant. But there is a way to do it.
"Mr. Gao Zhi, I am willing to hear the law."
"If you have a grudge, give him this horse. When Mark dies the man, and then multiplies with it, it will be fine. I don't know what the envoy thinks? ”
Liu Bei's heart tightened, and he looked at the single blessing for a while, wanting to see through what he was thinking. After a while, Liu Bei's face darkened, and he reprimanded in a condensed voice.
"When the gentleman first came here, he did not teach me the right way, but taught me to do things that were beneficial to himself and harmed others, and I did not dare to hear about it. Please find another place! ”
After hearing this, instead of being annoyed and angry, Shan Fu bowed down.
"I have heard that Jun is benevolent, and I didn't dare to believe it, so I tried my ears with this word. I hope that you will not be strange, a certain previous gaffe. ”
Liu Bei smiled secretly in his heart, this Shan Fu really came to test, and then changed his face and thanked him.
"Bei'an can have benevolence and people, but Mr. teaches it."
"I came here from Ying, and I heard the song of the people of Xinye, Xinye Mu, Uncle Liu Huang. Since then, the people have been abundant. It can be seen that the king has won the hearts of the people, and benevolence and people are also. Although I am not talented, I hope that I will be brave enough to help you achieve great things and help the Han family. I also hope that the envoy can be included! ”
After Shan Fu finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and bowed. Liu Bei hurriedly held it up and said happily.
"How can you be so wrongly loved. Prepare for no negative sir! ”
Liu Bei worshiped Shan Fu as a military advisor and trained the people of the headquarters. Shan Fu does have the talent to help the world, and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are becoming more and more elite under his training. Liu Bei's single blessing, like a tiger with wings, works hard in Xinye to seek a great cause, naturally it is not a problem.
Today, we are in troubled times, and there are many disasters and incidents. In the northwest, Wenhan returned to Hedong in triumph for several months. In these months, the northwest was stable and peaceful, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the policy of Tuntian was also spread all over Yongzhou and Liangzhou, and the northwest gradually recovered.
After Wen Han returned to Hedong, the rewards were all set, and the literati Xi Long, Li You, Tian Feng, and the warriors Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other meritorious people were all named liehous. Cheng Gongying, Pang De and other generals are also rewarded with thrones. Since the return of Wenhan, the northwest is full of joy, all cities and counties have set up banquets, and the army and the people have fun.
After that, Wen Han repeatedly invited Tian Feng, Tian Feng lived in Hedong for a long time, and saw that the people of Hedong were rich and strong under the leadership of Wen Han, and the people of Hedong all praised Wen Han. Tian Feng saw that Wenhan had the style of an ancient emperor, and thought that if he was this person, he might really be able to bring a new atmosphere to this troubled world, and finally promised to enter the office under Wenhan's account.
Looking at Wen Han at this time, the current strategists and generals, the literati Xi Long, Tian Feng, Li You, and Cheng Gongying all have the wisdom of the great strategy of the heavens, the talent of helping the world, and the ability to stabilize the country. In addition, Zhong Xuan, Zhang Hong, Wang Lang and others also have Wang Zuozhi's talents, which can stabilize internal affairs and govern the country and the people.
Among the warriors, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Pang De are all peerless generals who are invincible. Xu Huang, Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, and Xu Rong are also rare handsome talents, good at marching and fighting, training and arranging formations. And Zhou Cang, Hu Cheer, Liu Pi and other soldiers are also brave and heroic.
Wen Han's martial arts background is very deep, and the team gathered is enough to conquer the world. After Wen Han returned, Xi Long persuaded the soldiers and horses to recuperate, recuperate, and seek great careers. Wen Han complied, and immediately ordered all troops and horses to unload their armor and blades, and rest and recuperate.
After that, Wen Han began to work on internal affairs to improve people's livelihood. At the same time, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, Xu Rong and others were ordered to recruit new soldiers in various states and counties to train soldiers and horses.
There are no soldiers in the northwest for the time being, and Wen Han has no miscellaneous affairs except for dealing with internal affairs, and it is rare to enjoy a family fun.
One day, Wen Han was in the General's Mansion, gathering with the horse trainer, Cai Yan, Xiao Wenshun and other relatives in the backyard. Suddenly, a soldier came with a letter to report. Wen Han frowned, and was about to drink the retreat soldier, but he was reprimanded by the horse trainer instead. Wen Han had deep respect for the horse trainer and did not dare to disobey him, so after casting an apologetic look with Cai Yan, he left the backyard.
"What's !? Matter?"
Wen Han stared, he often conscripted outside, and the time to get together with his relatives was particularly rare. At the moment, his face was also disliked.
"General Yu. Prime Minister Cao Cheng sent a letter from Luoyang to invite the general to gather in Fulongyuan! ”
Prime Minister Cao Cheng!? Bring the letters. ”
Wen Han's face changed, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to deliver the letter. Wen Han opened the letter and looked at it for a while, then bowed slightly, and ordered the soldiers to retreat.
"What is Cao Mengde looking for me at this time? Now the general trend of the world is about to be determined, and the era of princes competing for the Central Plains has passed. It seems that it is time for me to meet this old friend with the most power. ”
Cao Cao's letter didn't mention much, just an insignificant greeting, followed by an invitation to Wenhan to Fulongyuan. Wen Han narrowed his eyes, and for a while he made up his mind to go to the meeting.
