Changan. 3

One lone lamp, two glasses of sake, two people.

Dong Zhuo, who often went in and out of the Taishi Mansion, inadvertently found that Li Ru appeared less and less at the banquets of the Taishi Mansion. Li Dao is a big grin, in the Taishi Mansion, he has never served Li Ru alone, plus Xu Ronghuaxiong can only be counted as half, that is, Dong Zhuo's other son-in-law Niu Fu, he doesn't pay much attention to it. As for Lu Bu, he has no status at all in the eyes of the old generals of Liangzhou. Once drunk, Li Wei stabbed Guo Yan, who was at the same table: "Why have you always lost Wen Xiansheng recently, is the Taishi going back to Luoyang?" ”

Guo Yan hadn't replied yet, but when he saw Dong Zhuo's face suddenly stretched, he was suddenly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. Since then, Li Dao and the others no longer dare to mention half a word about Li Ru, and they all have an ominous feeling in their hearts: Li Ru is going to have an accident!

Although Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he is also unlucky, because Dong Zhuo's daughter has been dead for many years.

Defeated Cao Cao in an ambush in Xingyang, and almost trampled the talented Yanzhou Mu to death under the horse, and Xu Rong, who was not originally Dong Zhuo's lineage, became the first-line general of the Xiliang Army, only ranking on the right side of Niu Fu and Lu Bu.

After Xu Rong defeated Cao Cao, the Guanqian army and the Xiliang army did not fight again, and the pass was fixed for a day, and Dong Taishi was idle for a day, and the women around him were more than one day a day. Then Yuan Shao retreated, leaving only a useless Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang to lead the so-called Si Li Lieutenant to garrison Luoyang, and the generals of the Xiliang army were idle every day, and they had long wanted to fight through the pass to get some military merit. But their boss Dong Zhuo is just singing and feasting every day, not happy all night, and he doesn't have this mind at all.

This is also another night without getting drunk and not returning, but this small garden in the remote place is particularly cool, especially stingy is that there is only a faint small lamp here, as if it is deliberately chilling people, through a thin glimmer, even the moth is not enough. The full moon in the sky has changed from one direction to the other at some point, and it is still so holy and bright. The music of singing and dancing looms over, but it is even more irritating.

The spill bottle of the table was long gone.

Jia Xu yawned, he really couldn't stand it: "Wenyou, it's okay, it's okay to lose tonight." ”

"Okay, you go." Li Ru nodded slightly, but the chess pieces in his hand were not put down, "Tomorrow, we'll come again." ”

Jia Xu stood up, shook his head, and stopped talking, so he went with a smile. Li Ru was still sitting still, his fine eyes staring at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains on the table, black, white, and chaotic. A cool breeze hit, and there was still a scene of singing and dancing in the distance, Li Ru's heart ached, and his eyes dimmed again.

……

Palace.

A lone lamp.

"Ah~ah~~" A childish muffled cry suddenly broke through the deep silence in the deep palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old slave is here." Zhao Yan, the middle attendant, knelt in front of the emperor's couch with a trembling voice, and held the sweaty little emperor Liu Xie in his arms, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Your Majesty is the true son of heaven, all the gods and evil are all avoided, and all the gods and filth are all avoided......"

"Mama Zhao, I'm thirsty." Liu Xie grabbed Zhao Yan's shirt tightly, and after a long time, he whispered that he had nightmares again. 3

"Okay, okay, the old slave will pour water for Your Majesty." Zhao Yan coaxed softly, and seeing that Liu Xie was still clutching his clothes, he hurriedly comforted: "Your Majesty, the old slave will go over there, and he will come when he goes." ”

Looking at the kettle on the table, Liu Xie hesitated for a while, and finally let go of Zhao Yan's shirt and looked at him with blank eyes.

Who would have imagined that His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty did not even have one more envoy by his side! I think back then, Zhao Changshou and Zhang Changshou were slaves, and there were dozens or hundreds of errands around them!

Zhao Yan muttered in his heart, poured a bowl of water for Liu Xie and came back, grabbed the wide cuffs and gently wiped the hot sweat on Liu Xie's forehead, and carefully looked at the little emperor who was in a hurry to take the bowl: "Your Majesty, drink slowly, drink slowly......"

"Cough~cough~~" Liu Xie was thirsty, grabbed the bowl and poured it into his throat, suddenly, he didn't catch a breath, his little hand trembled and almost didn't throw the bowl, and he coughed violently on the couch.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Zhao Yan panicked, and hurriedly wiped Liu Xie's chest to smooth out.

After a while, Liu Xie relieved himself, his pale little face was a little more ruddy, and he licked his lips to indicate that he was fine. Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and a heart that mentioned his throat and eyes was put back again. If His Majesty makes any mistake, no one can decide what the extremely vicious Dong Zhuo will do with him. Alas, he never took His Majesty in his eyes, but every day he watched whoever neglected His Majesty was going to kill someone, and he might really be his turn one day.

"Mama Zhao, I can't sleep, can I tell me about the outside?" Not perceiving the desolation in Zhao Yan's heart, Liu Xie blinked his big black eyes full of aura, full of hope.

"Old slave honor." Holding a pu fan and gently fanning Liu Xie, Zhao Yan said respectfully, "What stories does Your Majesty like to hear today?" Why don't the old slaves tell His Majesty a story about a lazy man and a lazy woman? ”

"Huh?" Liu Xie lay in Zhao Yan's arms, thought about it seriously, and shook his head, "Don't, I've heard this, Mama Zhao, you tell me anything else, Taifu They never tell me." ”

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Yan was shocked, his voice trembled, and he looked out in a panic, convinced that no one was approaching here, so he put his mind at ease and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, these things, Taifu and they don't tell Your Majesty, it is also for Your Majesty's good, how dare the old slave harm Your Majesty?" ”

"Well, okay then." Liu Xie replied helplessly, a little disappointed, thought about it, and said: "Then, Mama Zhao, you tell me about Brother Chengze, the last time the Taishi told me that he robbed several families in Luoyang and killed a lot of people, and the Taishi wanted me to issue an order to punish him." ”

"This?" Zhao Yan was embarrassed and secretly glanced outside.

"It's okay, Mama Zhao, it's so late, no one will come." Liu Xie is sensible.

"Your Majesty, the old slave said it today, you can just listen to it, but don't tell anyone, even the Taifu can't do it." Zhao Yan lowered his voice and instructed carefully.

"Well, don't say it, I won't tell him." Liu Xie raised his head and said happily, and also learned from Zhao Yan to keep his voice small.

…………

Thousands of miles away, Yanzhou.

A lone lamp, two people with bright eyes.

If Liu Feng had a pair of clairvoyance, he would be very disappointed to find that he had been waiting for Xun Yu for many days, but he was still under Cao Cao's account. 3

"In the past, Emperor Guangwu seized Hanoi, all of which were deeply rooted in the world and then plotted against the world, so that if you advance, you can see the enemy, and if you retreat, it is enough to hold on to wait for the day to rise again. Therefore, although Gaozu and Emperor Guangwu were defeated several times, they were able to achieve the emperor's cause in the end. The Duke of Ming was able to lead the military and government of Yanzhou today, and Bao Ziyi (Bao Xin) Zhang Mengzhuo (Zhang Miao) and others tried their best to help, which was the first Guanzhong and Hanoi of the Duke of Ming!

Yuan Shaochu in the north led Jizhou, and at this moment he was full of ambition and intentions, and he was friendly with Ming Gong when he was young.

Yuan Shao, although he has the assets of the fourth world and the three dukes, and the name of the hero, with the wealth of Jizhou, has recruited countless talents, but this person is scheming and indecisive, and he is not the enemy of the Ming Gong. And Yuan Shao has Gongsun Zan in the north and Liu Bei in the west, these two people have a domineering heart, and they are married. Although Jizhou is rich, but with Yuan Shao's talent, it is almost impossible to annex these two sons, and within a few years, Ming Gong can temporarily maintain no worries.

Gongsun Zhan had a bad relationship with Liu Yu, and regarded the Hu people as enemies, although he could fight and marry Liu Bei, he was just a brave husband, and the people were not attached, so he could not be ignored.

Liu Bei's father and son can win the hearts of the people, Tian Feng has insight, since Liu Bei's father and son have been introduced to the heart, they know everything, they have everything to say, everything is used, this is the dragon of the abyss, and it will inevitably be one of the fierce enemies of Ming Gong for a long time. However, at present, Liu Bei's father and son are newly established in Bingzhou, and Bingzhou has always been barren, Liu Bei boldly recruited millions of Black Mountain thieves, settled 100,000 Luoyang refugees, and he is not a disciple of Gaomen, no clan is cited as a branch of assistance, and the people used are just for his favor. Moreover, Liu Bei's power has risen too fast, and in just a few years, he has gone from a township to a state, with insufficient popularity, and trapped in the barrenness of the state, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a difference in a year or two.

The Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou are raging, and the people have suffered for a long time, and non-heroes cannot be peaceful. Once Yuan Shao has a bad relationship with Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, he will inevitably go south unintentionally, it is God-given and Ming Gong, this is the second foundation of Ming Gong!"

Cao Cao laughed: "Listening to Wen Ruo's short words, it is like pulling out the clouds and seeing the sun, the general trend of the world is already under my control, and Wen Ruo Zhenwu's son is also." If you have a text to help me, all the sons of the world will not have to worry!"

Xun Yu smiled indifferently, and Cao Cao took a deep look: "Yu didn't dare to be so boastful of Ming Gong yesterday, I hope that Ming Gong can select talents, do his best, and gather the ability of the world's wise men and mind, so that the world can be peaceful, and the Han family can be revived again!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he said with great joy: "If you can get the world's talents and travel together, Cao Cao must be in the prominent position everywhere and give him a heavy responsibility, but only to move, Wen Ruo will try to summon it for me?" ”

"Ming Gong has this heart, Yu dares not to do his best!" Listening to Cao Cao's words "only the only way to lift", Xun Yu's eyes lit up, he was born in a high family, he was famous all over the world at a young age, but there were many poor children who traveled with him, although many of his talents were not under him, but it was difficult to get ahead. What they lack is a place where heroes like Cao Cao can spread their wings. With Cao Cao's words and his own understanding of Cao Cao, he is a person who does what he says, if he makes his friends gather together and work hard, coupled with Cao Cao's eloquence, why worry that the world can no longer quickly restore peace?

"I've heard Wen Ruo frankly talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei at the beginning, please Wen Ruo try to explain the heroes of the world for me again!" He poured a glass of wine for Xun Yu with his own hands, regardless of the fact that the sky was gradually getting brighter, Cao Cao was still interested, without a trace of tiredness.

"Ming Gong inquired, Yu dared not say anything!" Xun Yu got up and thanked him, and said humbly. In troubled times, not only the king chooses the minister, but the minister also chooses the king. Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he has been watching the trend of the world with a cold eye, and the actions of the heroes of the world are all in full view, and the difference between high and low has long been clear.

Although Liu Feng had already entrusted, he was also very optimistic about Liu Bei and Liu Feng's father and son, but Liu Feng, including his father Liu Bei, had a big shortcoming, that is, their foundation was too shallow, and there was no clan branch to help each other, and everything must be done by themselves. As the lord, if you don't go out in person, you will be uneasy, and you will not be able to suppress the general who has established your career in the future, and once you come out lightly, there will be instability in the rear, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can guarantee when this person who is loyal to you will not give you a knife. Once the army is bought by the enemy, there is a possibility that the First World War will collapse, just like Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, overnight, including their own heads, everything will be owned by the enemy.

In fact, if it weren't for the chance encounter with Cao Cao, Xun Yu would still have the idea of Liu Feng in Beitou, but after a deep conversation with Cao Cao, this idea would no longer exist.

"Except for Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, I foolishly think that all generations in the world are not enough to worry about!

Dong Zhuo is just a contemptible person in the western Liangbian, and he gets rich in one day, and he gets carried away from then on, acting perversely and violently, only relying on his own likes and dislikes. Since he entered Chang'an, he has been insulting the ministers and killing the people every day, not thinking of making progress at all, and has lost the sharpness of the year, but he is just a slave waiting for death. Yu thought that within a few years, if there were no heroes to raise troops to the west, Dong Zhuo would most likely die at the hands of the imperial court, and there was no need to talk about him. ”

Cao Cao nodded, if he had been more ruthless at the beginning, maybe Dong Zhuo would have been in a different place, and the Han family would not have so many disputes in the world. Since it is useless, the dry bones in this grave, it is not too late for me to free my hands to clean him up.

"Yuan Shu occupies Nanyang and has become mortal enemies with Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Liu Biao is a person who is not enterprising enough, but self-defense is more than enough, and he has the heart of the people of Jingzhou, although Yuan Shu has Sun Jian's help, Yuan Shu will inevitably not be able to please Jingzhou, and in the end he can only end up with a defeat and a loss. And Yuzhou is already in Yuan Shao's bag, and Yuan Shu can't compete with him. In my opinion, Yuan Shu's next move should be in Yangzhou. Yangzhou has no owner, with the prestige of Yuan Shu's family, he wants to get the will, but it is not difficult, but Yuan Shu has always been domineering, arrogant and extravagant, even if he gets Yangzhou, it is difficult to make a difference, but in a few years, the land of Yangzhou will inevitably collapse. ”

Cao Cao was secretly happy, Yuan Shu has also gotten along with him since he was a child, but he has never been able to get along. And Xun Yu's short sentences are almost equivalent to his death sentence.

"Tao Qian has been guarding Xuzhou for many years, although he is old, but he still has the hearts of the people, and he can keep Xuzhou safe for several years. However, the wealthy family in Xuzhou is strong, even if Tao Qian has been operating in Xuzhou for many years, it is difficult to achieve control. Once Tao Qian is old and cannot be a director, the disputes between the powerful in Xuzhou will lead to chaos. If at that time, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei are still holding each other, the Ming Duke can take advantage of Xuzhou, the land of Yan, Qing and Xu, and send a general to collect the chaotic Yangzhou, and the thief Liu Biao who is guarding in the south, and serve Yuan Shao and Liu Bei to fight each other, and then you can take advantage of the fishermen!"

"Then according to Wen Ruo's opinion, which one is stronger and weaker than Liu Bei's father and son?" When Liu Feng was in Luoyang, Xun Yu was one of the few close friends of Liu Feng who entered the house, and Cao Cao was always curious about what Xun Yu thought of his little friend.

"In a short period of time, Liu Bei's strength with Gongsun Zan is not as good as Yuan Shao. But in a few years, Yuan Shao will not be as good as Liu Bei!" Xun Yu said affirmatively, "Yes, no matter what happens in the future, Duke Ming should befriend Yuan Shao, help the soldiers and help the food, and not make Liu Bei sit big!"

After saying this, a trace of hesitation flashed in Xun Yu's heart, since Liu Bei has such ability, he can destroy Yuan Shao, if he goes to serve Liu Bei with his own people, will Liu Bei be a more suitable person than Cao Cao to calm the troubled times? However, this idea was quickly rejected by him again, even if he didn't mind Liu Bei's humble background and condescending to each other, how could those of them obey the orders of a veteran who weaves mats and sells shoes? In fact, it is Xun Yu himself, born in the Yingchuan Wang clan, his grandfather is a well-known university scholar in the world, a famous scholar, and his father and eight brothers are known as "Eight Dragons", and his name is important for a while, Xun Yu himself has been known as "Wang Zuozhicai" since he was a child, if it weren't for his friendship with Liu Feng, how could he look at Liu Bei differently like such an old peasant in the countryside?

"I can't imagine that Wen Ruo values Liu Bei's father and son so much?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he laughed freely, "According to your view, how is Liu Bei compared to Cao?" ”

"If you talk about the opportunity to change the power strategy, and the chaos is appointed, Liu Bei is not as far away as the Ming Gong, but Liu Chengze alone can be compared to the Ming Gong's sons." Xun Yu paused for a moment and said seriously. Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang he also knows, and he is also friends with Liu Feng, but, in terms of the current situation, it is slightly more famous than Cao Ang, but Cao Ang is far inferior to Liu Feng.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed, "If Wen tries to look at my son, he will not live under Liu Chengze." Although these words were full of self-satisfaction, Cao Cao did not have the slightest displeasure at Xun Yu's remarks that he was not optimistic about his son, and his words were full of confidence.

In fact, Cao Ang is quite a father, brave and quick-witted, if there is anything that is inferior to Liu Feng, it is probably that he is not as famous as Liu Feng has the opportunity, and he will not be as adventurous and desperate as Liu Feng. In addition to Cao Ang, who has become an adult, the second son Cao Pi is only five years old, but he is very intelligent, and the third son Cao Zhang is still in infancy, but at a glance, he knows that he is a restless master, and Cao Cao is very satisfied with his sons.

Xun Yu smiled indifferently and said no more. At that time, Liu Feng and Cao Ang were still just teenagers, and it was really hard to say what their future achievements were.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was already bright.

Cao Cao drank a glass of wine, poured a glass for Xun Yu with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo greatly depreciates the original and praises Liu Bei, in my opinion, but just because Wen Ruo has cited the original as our friend in his heart, he is a friend, so he can only ignore his role and be a general, and he can't be saved by his friend!"

"As for the enemy, Yu also ignored their shortcomings and difficulties unconsciously!" Xun Yu took the words, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

Cold, this chapter is written so slowly
