Chapter 454: Shame for His Holiness
After May, the green plum turns yellow, sweet and sour, which is a good fruit to cool off. The Han people like to cook wine with green plums, and Cao Cao used green plum wine to cook wine and talk about heroes. However, Guo Jia made an oath first, and he would never drink alcohol again in this life, Zhang Hong cooked green plum soup for him in order to help him keep his oath, mung beans and green plums, and a little sugar to increase the sweetness.
Sugar is a rare thing these days, especially sucrose, which is rare for ordinary people to see, but Sun Ce has never seen it anyway. The sucrose used by Zhang Hong was given by Zhu Jun, only one catty, and it was packed in a celadon bottle. As for how Zhu Jun came, no one knows.
Seeing that Zhang Hong was so generous, Guo Jia was embarrassed to ask for wine. The three of them, with their guards, found a shady place beside a tributary of the chasm water, set up their seats, and fished while idle. The chasm is the chasm where the overlord Xiang Yu and Liu Bang confronted each other, along the chasm not far to the west is Chenggao and Aocang, when Chu and Han fought, there were many wars here, Zhang Hong and Guo Jia were people who were familiar with history, although Sun Ce also knew these stories, but he was rarely immersed, and now listening to them tell stories is also relishing, no worse than the sour plum soup in his hand.
"Speaking of stories, there is something that must be of interest to you." Guo Jia came to be interested, replaced wine with soup, and paid tribute to Sun Ce and Zhang Hong. "When Yuan Shao fled from Luoyang, he moved forward along the chasm, passing through Chenggao and Zhongmu all the way to Chenliu, and there was a small accident."
Sun Ce was surprised. He knew that Cao Cao took this road when he escaped from Luoyang, and he also killed Lu Bohao's family in Chenggao, leaving a very famous sentence, but he didn't know which route Yuan Shao took. In the history books, it is simply said that Yuan Shao escaped from Luoyang and went to Jizhou, but no one mentioned how he went.
"Tell me about it."
"When Yuan Shao escaped from Luoyang, he not only took his family with him, but also nearly 100 carts of property, some of which were probably stolen from the palace." Guo Jia took a sip of sour plum soup and said with a smile: "In the developed history of the Yuan family, there have been two opportunities to make a windfall: one is to bring down the general Liang Ji, and the other is when the Yuan Shao brothers enter the palace. Yuan Shao's father, Yuan Cheng, is the confidant of the general Liang Ji, and Yuan Shao is the confidant of the general He Jin, I really don't know what kind of mood they will feel when they meet these two generals under the Yellow Spring. Yuan Cheng is a little better, after all, it is Liang Ji who can't stand him, he doesn't stand up to Liang Ji. Yuan Shao is difficult to say, although He Jin died in the hands of Zhang Rang and others, it was actually no different from dying in his hands. ”
Sun Ce was thoughtful, no wonder Yin Ji rarely mentioned the Yuan family, and now she is probably forced to coexist with Yuan Quan, she is really wronged.
Yuan Shao and his entourage had nearly 1,000 people, and they did not dare to enter the county seat to live, so they went to Cao Cao's old friend Lu Boluxe to stay at the house when they were in Chenggao. The Lu family is a local hero, and there are courtyards, but it is inevitable that so many people will be a little nervous at once. Yuan Shao was worried that Dong Zhuo would send someone to chase and kill him, and Cao Cao was not allowed to reveal his identity, which aroused the suspicion of the Lu family, for fear that they would have evil intentions, and the two sides were wary of each other, and a conflict broke out accidentally. Yuan Shao had many strong martial arts rangers around him, and the Lu family was naturally not an opponent, they were killed in a river of blood, and none of Lu Bohao's five sons could escape, and all died in the hands of Cao Cao. I estimate that Cao Cao must have regretted it when he killed the five sons of the Lu family, if he hadn't been quick to speak, he wouldn't have brought disaster to his friend's family. ”
"Wait, since it's a scuffle, why did Lu Bohao's five sons all die at the hands of Cao Cao?"
"Hehe, gentleman is far away from cooking, how can such a thing dirty Yuan Shao's hands, of course Cao Cao will do it." Guo Jia held the bowl and asked people to fill another bowl of sour plum soup. "When do you think Yuan Shao killed someone with his own hands? He wouldn't have done it himself unless he had to. ”
Sun Ce is right to think about it, with Yuan Shao's identity, there is really no need to kill people with his own hands. Du Yuesheng is just one of the three tycoons in Shanghai, and he no longer has to kill people with his own hands. Yuan Shao is the most powerful ranger alliance leader and party leader in the Han Empire, where do you need to kill people with your own hands. He later killed Han Fu and Zhang Miao, all by the hands of others.
"Speaking of which, the Lu family died unjustly, but if you have a little knowledge, you should also know who it is. Looking at the world, apart from Yuan Shao, who else can make Cao Cao so obedient, and who else can have so many retinues and belongings. Alas, the great opportunity to go from the dragon turned into a disaster, and the father and son of the Lu family didn't know what to think under Jiuquan. ”
Sun Ce was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "I don't know what the father and son of the Lu family think, but I know what future generations will think, and this will definitely be left in the history books in the future." ”
"Then the general can have the last laugh." Zhang Hong said lightly: "If Yuan Shao wins, not only will the Lu Boxuan family have nowhere to redress their grievances, but they will also be stigmatized, just like those who were killed by Zhang Jian and Cen Hui, they all deserve to die." ”
Guo Jia smiled. "Spring and Autumn penmanship, it's normal to be a shame for His Holiness."
Sun Ce was depressed, and he even lost his appetite for the sweet and sour plum soup.
——
Hanoi County, Dangyin.
Yuan Shao's hand shook, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his composure. He stood up, spun around, and asked the waiter to make sure that there was nothing wrong, and then hurried out. He was tall, his steps were extremely fast and great, and he arrived at the door in two steps, and the waiter knelt on the ground, put on silk shoes for him, and had already put one on, Yuan Shao changed his mind again, took off the silk shoes, and ran out in a snow-white foot coat.
"Brother Boqiu, is it really you?"
He Hao stood in the vestibule, watching Yuan Shao run out of it, striding meteors, his clothes flying, his snow-white footwear was even more conspicuous, his originally gloomy face was slightly slow, and most of the sullen breath in his heart was spit out.
"Originally, don't come to harm?"
Yuan Shao blinked, walked to He Hao's side, stroked He Hao's arm, and laughed. "Brother Boqiu, Luoyang has been farewell, it's been three years, right? Brother Boqiu's voice was original, but I was thinking about it for a long time. Well, this righteous man is ......"
"Xun Gongda, the grandson of Xun Yuanzhi, he escorted me all the way from Chang'an to Wancheng and then to Yecheng."
Yuan Shao let go of He Hao, his arms shook, his big sleeves flew like bird wings, and he bowed to Xun You, his body was like a broken chime. Xun Yu wanted to avoid it, Yuan Shao said: "Little friend, Brother Boqiu and I are also teachers and friends, you escort him all the way to Yecheng, I will have a great grace, this worship, you can completely bear it." ”
Xun You sighed lightly: "The alliance leader doesn't have to be like this, Mr. Boqiu has taught me a lot, I treat him as an elder, some small things, not enough to worry about, are all what I should do." ”
"Yingchuan Xun clan, worthy of being a god, there are many geniuses." Yuan Shaozan said: "Xiaoyou, you have worked hard all the way, go and rest first." It's a pity that your Xun clan is either in Yecheng or went to Chang'an, and you won't see each other for a while, otherwise you can be reunited. ”
Xun Yu saluted He Hao, said goodbye, and followed Yuan Shao to arrange people to go to the post house. He Hao didn't speak, and when Xun You left, he frowned slightly, and said while climbing the stairs with Yuan Shao: "Originally, the Xun clan didn't join the army? ”
Yuan Shao didn't speak, helped He Hao to the hall, invited him to take a seat, and brought a circle table with his own hands, let He Hao lean on it, and then returned to his seat and sat down. He pondered for a moment and said earnestly: "Brother Boqiu, you came just in time, I have encountered some trouble, only Brother Boqiu can help me." ”
"What kind of trouble can bother you so much?" He Hao stared at Yuan Shao's face and said word by word: "Waste the elder and the young?" ”
