"Lord, Jingzhou is eight hundred miles in a hurry, something has happened!" Cao Cao had just returned to the mansion when he saw a messenger coming to pay his respects. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Oh?" Cao Cao looked at the other party, frowned, and said, "Come with me." ”

"Huh~" The messenger hurriedly followed Cao Cao and the others into the hall.

"What's wrong?" Cao Cao looked at the messenger.

"Back to the lord, Jingxiang Liu Biao was seriously ill, seven days ago, Cai Mao wanted to control the Assassin Mansion, but was broken by Liu Biao's veteran guard Huang Zhong led the troops to break through, rescued Liu Biao, Cai Mao then besieged the assassination of the Mansion, three days ago, Huang Zhong appeared in Nanyang with Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi, and handed over the letter of the assassin to Liu Bei, and at the same time the news of Liu Biao's death came from Xiangyang, Liu Bei mobilized Jiangxia and Nanyang, and contacted Changsha Liu Pan to raise troops together, and told Jingzhou for the crime of rebellion, and conscripted Cai Mao."

"So, Jingzhou is in chaos?" When Cao Cao heard this, his brows furrowed: "It's just at this time!" ”

If a few years earlier or two years later, Jingzhou is in chaos, it may not be a good thing for Cao Cao, Cao Cao can take the opportunity to annex Jingxiang and look at Jiangdong, but at this time it is just stuck at a node, the opportunity for the princes to discuss Lu Bu has appeared, Cao Cao has a great righteousness, and he is about to unite the princes of the world to discuss Lu Bu at this time, at this time, he can't use troops against Jingxiang, otherwise where is the faith, how dare the princes believe him?

"You go down first." Cao Cao waved his hand and asked the messenger to retreat before he looked at everyone and said with a wry smile: "What an eventful season!" ”

"Lord, Jingzhou can't use soldiers!" Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "Once our army uses Jingzhou, it will be discredited to the world, and it will be even more difficult to call on the princes to crusade against Lu Bu." ”

Cao Cao nodded silently, looked at everyone and said regretfully: "It's just a pity that I have been waiting in Jingxiang for several years, and now with Liu Jingsheng's death, it is cheaper Liu Bei!" ”

Why is it cheaper for Liu Bei and not Cai Mao? Because Cai Mao is already pro-Cao, he can be regarded as Cao Cao's secret son in Jingxiang, and Cai Mao's acquisition of Jingzhou is a good thing for Cao Cao, but it is not very likely.

Liu Bei has been stationed in Nanyang in recent years, for this old opponent, Cao Cao has no contempt, Liu Bei has been in Nanyang in recent years, whether it is people's livelihood or military, and the account is no longer as before only about Zhang two fierce generals, there are many celebrities to assist, although the territory is not as good as Xuzhou, but now Liu Bei is much stronger than when he was in Xuzhou, and his wings are full, and according to the information collected from Jingzhou over the years, Liu Bei is not only holding Nanyang in his hands, Jiangxia is also holding in Liu Bei's hands.

What's more, Liu Bei is friendly with many Jingzhou scholars, and now Liu Biao has handed over the seal letter to Liu Bei, whether it is voluntary or not, but now the seal letter of Jingzhou Thorn History is a fact in Liu Bei's hands, plus his own royal clan status, it has completely established itself in the general righteousness, and Cai Mao's move is somewhat unwise, driving Liu Biao's cronies out of Xiangyang, although it can allow him to better control Xiangyang, but Liu Biao is dying, whether he did it or not, it is no longer clear.

Everyone couldn't help but be silent when they heard this, Cao Cao's plan for Jingxiang was not a day or two, before the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao began to secretly lay out Jingxiang, and now, after many years of arrangement, it has become empty, not to mention Cao Cao, everyone has a little bit of a bad taste in their hearts, if they can take it, Cao Cao is the first prince in the world who deserves it, but it's a pity......

"Fate Yuan let out of Zhen Shouchun, if there is any change in Jiangdong, he will go south to attack Lujiang!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice, at this time, not only could he not fight Jingzhou, but also had to help Liu Bei create a relatively stable external environment to avoid any irrational actions in Jiangdong at this time.

"Everyone, disperse, Gongda, and strengthen the surveillance of Lu Bu!" Cao Cao turned his head to look at Xun Yu and said, what he was most worried about was not Jiangdong, but whether Lu Bu would take the opportunity to go south at this time, then he couldn't fight this war if he didn't want to.

"Don't worry, my lord." Xun You nodded, and everyone said goodbye and left.

After everyone left Cao's Mansion, Chen Qun smiled and invited Xun Yu and the others: "Everyone, go to Guiyan Pavilion?" ”

Xun Yu shook his head: "Let's go for a long time, there are still some things to deal with." ”

Xun You and Zhong Xuan looked at Chen Qun and shook their heads, obviously today's series of events had made the two of them lose the mood to go to the Wild Goose Pavilion to have fun.

"Alas~" Watching the three of them leave, Chen Qun sighed and walked in the direction of Guiyan Pavilion.

Cao Cao's subordinates are still a lot of capable people, since Cao Cao moved the capital to Xuchang, with more and more population, Xuchang has become increasingly prosperous, although the economic form is not as inclusive as Chang'an, but if the rich are not lacking in this Xuchang City, the family does not say, the rich can be seen everywhere in Xuchang City, there are many rich people, some entertainment and pastime industries will naturally flourish, as the largest green building in Xuchang, Guiyan Pavilion will never worry about business, they have enough high-quality Qingqi to attract an endless stream of celebrities to come, Occasionally, some wealthy merchants will also come here to have a vassal elegance, mostly in the hope of taking this opportunity to meet some nobles.

When Chen Qun came to Guiyan Pavilion, the scene was a little chaotic.

"Master Chen, you're here." A woman greeted her and greeted Chen Qun with some humility.

"Well,, what's going on? Why is it so noisy? Chen Qun nodded, looked at a few people who were kicked out, and a flash of surprise flashed on his face, aren't the clothes of these people those Baekje envoys?

"These barbarians who claim to be Baekje envoys, they have to spend the night with Ying'er, and the adults don't have to pay attention to them."

"Fanbang barbarians, probably regard this place as a prostitution house." Chen Qun's face was cold, a little displeased, these Baekje envoys groveled in the palace yesterday, and now it seems that they are flattering and arrogant, and the small country's style is undoubtedly revealed, which is shameful.

"Has Miss Ying'er ever been frightened?" Chen Qun asked.

If you ask which girl is the most popular in Guiyan Pavilion, I'm afraid it will be the nightingale girl who came a year ago, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her singing voice is tactful, which makes people sink unconsciously, although it has always been a light veil to cover her face, and no one has ever seen her true face, but in this Xuchang City, I don't know how many romantic celebrities have fallen for it, in order to see its face, at the expense of spending a lot of money.

"Don't worry, my lord, Ying'er hasn't seen any scenes, how can I be frightened by these Fanbang barbarians, but my lord wants Ying'er to accompany you?"

"This ......" hesitated for a moment, Chen Qun shook his head and said, "If Miss Ying'er is sick, it's not too late to come back another day." ”

"It's okay, my lord will go to Accord to rest first, and I'll go and ask Ying'er to come out." The smiled and beckoned Chen Qun in.

Chen Qun sat in the Accord, looking out of the window, the snow had been shoveled, Xuchang City had regained its busy state, and it looked very prosperous, but thinking of what he saw when he went to Chang'an, Chen Qun sighed unconsciously, although Xuchang was prosperous, but after seeing the prosperity of Chang'an City, Chen Qun always felt that Xuchang's prosperity had a twilight.

Unconsciously remembered what Lu Bu said at the beginning, today's Chang'an may not be as prosperous as Xuchang, but if you talk about vitality, Chang'an City is inclusive of all rivers, accommodating all directions, and even Western scholars come from thousands of miles away, the future Chang'an will be ten times more prosperous than now, and Xuchang, no matter how prosperous, his form has been solidified, the rich are drunk and dream of death to enjoy this prosperity, and the poor are for three meals a day, becoming the invisible dirty under this prosperity, numbly repeating the same life until death, that is the prosperity without vitality, Like an old man who is dying, living there will only make people feel depressed.

It was in the ninth year of Jian'an, and it has been three years since now, whether Chang'an has become more prosperous as Lu Bu said, Chen Qun has not seen it, but through the news that has been coming from Guanzhong in the past three years, Lu Bu's wild words in the past are now realized.

Lu Bu threw an olive branch to Chen Qun in accordance with the usual practice, but Chen Qun refused, he has his own ideals and family, what Lu Bu said may be reasonable, old things will eventually be eliminated, but someone must also defend, in fact, in the past few years, whether it is Cao Cao or Chen Qun, Xun Yu, the head of the family, all hope to learn from Lu Bu's concept, find a new way for the family, and find a way to promote people's livelihood or people's power without touching the interests of the family.

It's a pity, at least until now, I haven't found it, I can't have both fish and bear's paws, and I don't want to break my current status, but I want to enjoy the benefits brought by the people's power, which is a kind of self-deception.

As for what is civil power? It is not only labor, but also creativity, many times, creativity is in the hands of the people, the Ministry of Industry established by Lu Bu will go to the people to live for a period of time every year, and then come back to study, and constantly stimulate the creativity and productivity of the people by improving the people's livelihood, this alone, and the old concept of hierarchy is far from the same, but also the main contradiction between Lu Bu and the family.

This is also an important factor that the emerging family that emerged on Lu Bu's side is not recognized by the Central Plains family, of course, the Central Plains family will also be squeezed out by Lu Bu's emerging family when they go there.

"Ding~Dong~"

The sound of the piano flowed silently in this small accord like a clear spring, which brought Chen Qun back to his senses, but after seeing the curtain, there was already an extra woman stroking the piano, and outside the curtain, two well-behaved maids helped Chen Qun pour tea and water.

"There's Miss Lao Ying'er." Chen Qun smiled slightly and nodded to the woman behind the curtain.

"Lord Chen, is it true that there are now rumors outside that he wants to be crowned king?" A little girl asked with a grin.

Chen Qun frowned, has the news already spread?

"Lian'er! Don't talk about state affairs! Behind the curtain, there was a cold voice, very nice and a little ethereal, even if it contained a hint of anger, but it was still addictive.

"It's okay, but this matter is confidential, and the group can't tell each other." Chen Qun smiled and waved his hand.

"Your Excellency is serious." Behind the curtain, the sound of the piano murmured, and there was no slightest fluctuation, and a faint voice came: "There are rules and regulations, and it is taboo to ask about state affairs without permission, others can touch it, but we must not touch it!" ”

A look of appreciation flashed in Chen Qun's eyes, no one knows whether the nightingale is beautiful or not, because no one has seen her true face, but not asking about state affairs is the most admirable, and it is for this reason that he is willing to come here, because here, he doesn't have to bother calculating anything, and his spirit can be completely relaxed.

The sound of the piano flowed like flowing water, Chen Qun's mood gradually became a little sleepy in a state of complete relaxation, and vaguely, someone seemed to ask him about something, but when he woke up, he had no memory, and the nightingale left, leaving only two little girls waiting.

Shaking his head, Chen Qun left a gold cake and left silently, not noticing that not long after he left, a white dove flew away from the wild goose pavilion. (To be continued.) )
