。。。

The two walked to the tavern, it was Liu Yi's favorite one, three taels of sake, a pound of mutton, it has always been like this, it has never changed, Liu Bei knows, and Lu Wei also knows.

The two sat opposite each other, without words, but they both knew that the other party had something to say, especially Lu Zhi.

"Teacher, why did you come out, you are not accompanied by anyone, it is not safe."

Liu Bei said respectfully, although his teacher doesn't like him very much, although he is now the master of one party, although there are many although, but just the other side is his teacher, this one is enough.

Liu Bei had to admit that in this era of heaven, earth, man and monarch, no matter how much he disliked the person in front of him, he had to be respectful.

Lu Zhi picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said: "I'm a bad old man, where is the safety is not safe, besides, I just take a turn in Chengyang, and when it comes to safety, Ziang needs to worry more." ”

After speaking, he drank another glass of wine, and didn't look at Liu Bei, just stared out the window, shook his head and sighed.

"Chengyang is really prosperous, many years ago, the old man passed by here, and it was still deserted, it's a pity, it's a pity."

Liu Bei's face is almost red now, although Lu Zhi didn't name him, but a fool can hear it, this is accusing himself.

Let's talk about Liu Yi's smile first, and then mention the prosperity of Chengyang, the changes in the past few years, everyone knows that these are all brought by Liu Yi, building the city wall, developing the economy, one thing after another, so that the development of Chengyang is no different from other Fucheng.

Liu Bei also sighed and said, "Yes, this is all Ziang's credit, don't dare to forget it." ”

Lu Zhi glanced at Liu Bei after hearing this, and didn't understand what Liu Bei meant by this, but he didn't plan to sell Liu Bei again.

"Hmph, do you still know that it is Ziang's credit, look at what you are doing now, let him go to the north alone with five thousand soldiers and horses? Sent to death? ”

The anger in his voice was obvious, and Liu Bei lowered his head in a scolding manner, and some guilt flashed in his eyes.

Lu Zhi saw that Liu Bei didn't speak, but from Liu Bei's expression, it could be seen that he hadn't understood what he should do at this time.

"Do you know how Wen Ji has been doing these days? The old man looked at it and felt heartache, Ziang has been fighting for a long time, she is already worried enough, I didn't expect you to do this kind of thing, five thousand soldiers, the old man's heart can't be hanging, if Ziang can't come back this time, I see how you explain to Wen Ji. ”

The more Lu Zhi spoke, the more angry he became, and after he said that, his voice was very cold, although it was not too loud, but the people in the entire teahouse looked at them.

Liu Bei raised his hand and motioned for the owner of this teahouse to clean up the guests, the owner understood very well what this meant, Liu Ziang often came to him to drink, and later these big people in Chengyang often ran here, as a businessman, wit is a must.

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction, now only he and Lu Zhi were left on the entire second floor, then looked up at Lu Zhi, shook his head, and said, "Teacher, I can't help it, the battle in the north, Ziang and I have different opinions." ”

Lu Zhiqi's muscles flared up, and he wanted to beat Liu Bei, how could he not know about this matter, and said: "There are different opinions, of course there are different opinions, do you want to take advantage of the fisherman?" Don't forget, that's what your fellow brother did when you were down. ”

After Lu Wei finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, looked in the direction of the window, ignored Liu Bei, and the anger in his heart was not concealed at all, in addition to that, there was some pain.

How to say that it is also a master and apprentice, although he doesn't like this hypocritical disciple very much, but many years ago, the figure of him bowing down to ask for advice is still close in front of him, at that time, it was still so pure.

Liu Bei's face showed pain, it turned out that his teachers knew that this last fig leaf had also been torn off for him.

I don't know when it started, Liu Bei didn't think about things from the emotional aspect, but from the maximization of interests, when he went to invite Kong Rong, it was to lure him with profit, because he firmly believed that only interests could impress them, and everything else was nonsense, and the fact was that he successfully invited Kong Rong over and used some small means.

Now that the war is in turmoil in the north, he once again has the perspective of maximizing interests, but this time Liu Yi did not recognize him, but stood on the opposite side of him, and took 5,000 soldiers to support alone.

Liu Bei thought at first that there would be no danger, the big deal was to be sarcastically ridiculed by Gongsun Zhan, and then come back in disgrace, so that he could have an excuse to watch Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao lose both, and then pacify the north in one fell swoop.

Then this time he miscalculated, he underestimated Liu Ziang's determination, although the relationship between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yi was not very friendly, but for Gongsun Chan's kindness, Liu Yi always remembered that he didn't want to owe too much to others, even if it was owed by Liu Bei.

So Liu Yi set off, took 5,000 soldiers and horses alone, entered Yizhou, and went straight to Yecheng, arrogant and unwanted.

Now everyone knows that there is a person named Liu Ziang, who dared to sneak attack Yuan Shao's hometown with 5,000 soldiers and horses, and also released cruel words, if he didn't break Yecheng, he wouldn't return it.

Liu Bei was very distressed, and said weakly: "Please also ask the teacher for guidance, how to prepare." ”

This is to find the steps, if you want to go down, it depends on whether Lu Value gives him a chance, after all, Liu Bei still understands what he is doing, and he is indeed a bit of a bastard, but as a monarch, he has his pride, and his majesty makes him unable to go back on his word, otherwise he will be laughed at, so he has been dragging it out.

This time, his teacher just gave him a chance, at first Liu Bei still wanted to fool the past, but Lu Zhi is so shrewd, after so many years of official career, who can give him a sloppy eye, directly exposed Liu Bei's fig leaf, so that Liu Bei had to make a choice.

Liu Bei actually also wanted to get off the horse, but it was difficult to ride a tiger, but he was sober at this time, and others suggested that he might have backtracked and had no prestige, but the person sitting in front of him was his teacher.

Heaven and earth, the teacher's status is still very high, accusing Liu Bei, Liu Bei can't say anything, now he can use his teacher's accusations, obey his teacher's arrangement, and walk down this step.

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bei and understood what he meant, and knew that as a monarch, there were indeed many places, and he couldn't help himself, so Lu Zhi decided to cooperate with him.

"The army sent to Yizhou, pacified the north, and solved Ziang's predicament."

Lu Zhi said solemnly, at this time, the most important thing for Liu Bei to do is to send troops to Yizhou, the current situation on Gongsun Zhan's side is okay, but Liu Yi is in Yizhou, the situation is no longer optimistic, if it weren't for Yuan Shaoteng's can't make a move, I'm afraid Liu Yi would be trapped inside.

As for why Lu Zhi didn't suggest Liu Bei to support Gongsun Zhan, Lu Zhi also had his own considerations, first, there was no danger in Gongsun Zhan, it was simply dragging Yuan Shao, and it was not worth sending troops over to support, because no one knew how long it could last, and the most important thing was to see Liu Yi's movements.

Second, in comparison, Liu Yi is the disciple that Lu Zhi attaches more importance to, although they have not been together for a long time, but from the current point of view, Liu Yi is the disciple who is most in line with his heart.

Liu Bei nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll arrange people and send troops to Yizhou." ”

Lu Wei nodded and said with a smile: "Don't move these in Chengyang for the time being, let Guan Yu from Yanzhou take people there, so it's faster." ”

Okay, Lu Zhi has already thought of a candidate for Liu Bei to send troops, and Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, but he still nodded and agreed.

Indeed, there are not many defenders in Chengyang, so Liu Yi took away 5,000, and he has to leave the soldiers who defend the city, and the support force is indeed not enough, but Yanzhou is different, Guan Yu is alone with the soldiers to guard the town, and the troops are abundant. What's more, it's so close that you can do quick support.

Lu Zhi left, leaving Liu Bei alone, sitting alone by the window, watching the people coming and going.

Recalling the scene of meeting Liu Yi, Liu Bei's mouth couldn't help but hang a smile.

"Who are you, and why are you here in the way?"

"Under Liu Yi and Liu Ziang, resting here, there is no intention of blocking the road."

"Hmph, it's not a roadblock, could it be that you're here to join my eldest brother."

"Presumably this is the Duke of Xuande, who has admired his name for a long time and is destined to get together."

Then he inexplicably took refuge in himself, didn't want anything, as if it was natural, and later, before the tiger prison, he showed his talents, he said his ideals, Liu Bei knew that the original young man really wanted to conspire with himself.

Liu Bei smiled, how happy he was at the beginning, how did he become like this, send troops, don't say anything, no matter how much you say, it's not as useful as making it.

Liu Bei got up and left, with a relaxed look on his face, it turned out that he was worthy of his heart, it was such a relaxed thing, no wonder Liu Yi was happy all day long, he looked like a salted fish, it turned out that this was his confidence.

On the other side, Lu Zhi left the tavern and did not go home, but turned around and went to Liu Yi's house, he wanted to tell Cai Wenji the good news as soon as possible, so that he should not worry.

Along the way, many people don't know Lu Zhi, but he thinks it's nothing, after all, after being imprisoned in Luoyang, he has become a bad old man, and if he can survive, it's already good, where is there so much to ask for.

Walking to the door of Liu Yi's house, his family's old slave was already waiting at the door, knowing that Lu Zhi was going to find Liu Bei, he couldn't sit still.

Wandering back and forth at the door, what is going on with his young master, it depends on whether Lu Zhi can communicate with Liu Bei, the young lady is still sitting in the courtyard now, she has not eaten or drunk for two days, and she is about to go crazy.

Lu Zhi walked over with a smile and said, "Old Zhou, don't turn around, I'm almost dizzy." ”

Zhou Bo looked up and found that Lu Zhi had already walked to his side, so he couldn't be surprised, and hurriedly asked, "How is it, how is the situation." ”

As for Lu Wei affectionately calling him Lao Zhou, he didn't hear it.

"Everything is going well, I'll go tell Wen Ji about it, and he'll worry about the rest all day."

Lu Wei walked in with a smile, when he is old, he likes to worry about the affairs of these children, his youngest son has not yet started a family, so he can only find things to do from Liu Yi.

Zhou Bo breathed a sigh of relief and followed in, but he didn't follow Lu Zhi all the time, and asked people to prepare meals, with Lu Zhi's guarantee, Cai Wenji should be able to rest assured, if she doesn't eat, she will starve to death. Uncle Zhou still wants to see his young master inherit the incense of the old Liu family, of course, he has to take care of the young lady.

Cai Wenji was dragging his cheeks at this time, looking at the pond with dull eyes, the fish were swimming happily, but he was not in the mood to appreciate it.

The arrival of Lu Zhi broke the tranquility and sat opposite Cai Wenji, which startled Cai Wenji.

"Ah, Uncle Lu, you're here."

Cai Wenji came back to her senses and saw Lu Zhi sitting opposite, greeted with a forced smile, and got up and saluted slightly.

"Well, don't sit here in a daze all day, find something to do, Ziang's matter has been solved, he is ready to send troops to Yizhou, pick up Ziang, don't worry, there is no problem."

Lu Zhi smiled and picked up the teacup, drinking the tea that Cai Wenji made for him, when he is old, he will take this bite, or how to say that he has both children and daughters, this is the case, Lu Zhi has no daughter, so he is so concerned about Cai Wenji's affairs.

Cai Wenji looked happy and said excitedly: "Really? That's great, the husband is in Yizhou, and there is no danger yet, but with his temperament, he will definitely touch Yecheng, and it will be dangerous at that time, I hope the lord's support can be felt in time. ”

Smart women are often the most terrifying, especially for women who can understand the general trend of the world, Cai Wenji has never shown this ability, that is, she understands that what Liu Yi needs is not a strong woman who can give him advice, but a little woman who can make him feel warm when he goes home, so Cai Wenji never asks about government affairs, even if Liu Yi will tell her without hesitation.

Lu Wei smiled and nodded, after so many years of family education, especially a talent like Cai Zhonglang, it is not too easy to cultivate Cai Wenji, and Lu Wei is not surprised that Cai Wenji can reflect Liu Yi's situation.

"That's right, with that kid's temperament, if you don't go to Yecheng, it's abnormal, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but for so many years, I really haven't seen him fail, I must have planned carefully in secret."

Lu Zhi stroked his beard, since the Tiger Prison Pass, Liu Yi can be said to have been standing on the cusp of the storm, stepping on the shoulders of the world, all the way to the present, during which many people are not optimistic about him, but he has proved himself again and again with his strength, what is called Wang Zuozhicai.

Lu Wei's purpose in saying this is also very simple, that is, to tell Cai Wenji, don't worry anymore, since Liu Yi wants to do it, then he must have calculated it, this guy is so cunning, how can he not arrange it.

Cai Wenji smiled lightly and nodded, Liu Yi was indeed very satisfied with her, whether it was from a well-known talent in the world or from the perspective of a perfect husband, Liu Yi did a good job, this is why Cai Wenji likes him, such a perfect person, and he is very gentle, who will not fall.

Uncle Zhou brought some food, as well as a bottle of good wine, put the things away, and said with a smile: "Young lady, I haven't been hungry for so long, this is what the young master said about your favorite meal, can you taste it or not." ”

put the wine in front of Lu Zhi, placed the dishes and chopsticks for them, and then retreated with interest.

Cai Wenji also felt a little hungry, embarrassed to pick up the chopsticks, chewed and ate slowly, Lu Wei did not move the chopsticks, just took the bottle of wine to drink, and ate with the disciple's insiders, Lu Wei did not move the things on the table in order to avoid suspicion.
