The 234th Round: The Taoist Xun Table

But it is said that Zuo Ci studied under Yu Ji, a Taoist from Tianzhu Mountain, but Yu Ji is good at playing chess with the heavens, not doing the things of Danding, and not teaching the art of change, Zuo Ci is self-taught, and he has the art of Liujia when he was young, and he is a genius of the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info After Zuo Ci accepted Xun Gang's eldest brother Xun Biao as an apprentice, he still cultivated in Tianzhu Mountain, and it was not good to participate in mundane affairs, but unfortunately he happened to travel with a crane on this day, met Lu Bu, and intended to embarrass Cao Cao, so he took the opportunity to save Lu Bu.

Zuo Ci saw that Lu Bu had a heart of repentance, so he took the opportunity to perform Taoist techniques to dig out the goodness in Lu Bu's heart. Lu Bu was grateful to Dade and returned to Xuzhou, but he didn't want to know that Xiahoudun had attacked Xuzhou, so he was shocked and rushed back to Xuzhou overnight.

Zhang Liao, Chen Gong and others led the army to meet the enemy on the top of the city tower, because they did not know what happened to Lu Bu's life and death, they had no choice but to do it. Lu Bu burst into a shout behind Xiahoudun's army, and instantly rushed into the enemy formation, stabbing left and right, and a divine soldier descended from the sky, killing countless people. Xiahoudun was shocked, and hurriedly led the army to fight with Lu Bu, but he didn't want Lu Bu to enter no man's land with a halberd, cut people when he saw them, and kill them whenever he saw them, killing Xiahoudun with blood in his heart.

On the city tower, Zhang Liao and Chen Gong saw the enemy army in chaos, thinking that someone led troops to rescue, and hurriedly led the troops out of the city to fight with Xiahoudun, Xiahoudun was defeated, and said in his heart: "Although I heard that Lu Bu was brave and unparalleled, wasn't he in Yuzhou?" How did you come back to Xuzhou so quickly? Seeing that there was a suspicion that the whole army would be annihilated, Xiahoudun immediately led his troops to withdraw to Yuzhou, not daring to delay in the slightest.

Zhang Liao led the army to meet with Lu Bu and exclaimed, "Why is the lord here? Lu Bu said: "I was in a dead place, I didn't want to have the help of immortals, and I finally had to escape, which made you worry about ......" After that, Lu Bu walked straight towards Chen Gong and saluted: "Gongtai, I have offended a lot before, and I hope you don't hold too much grudge against me." ”

Chen Gong was shocked, when had he ever seen Lu Bu look like this? Lian Lian returned the salute on the horse, and said "don't dare" in his mouth. Lu Bu smiled slightly, and led the two into Xuzhou City, the two looked at each other, as if they felt that today's Lu Bu was very different from the past, as if he had changed a person.

Cao Cao and the others are still waiting for Xiahou Yuan to capture Lu Bu at the mountain pass, but there is still no news from left and right; After I don't know how long, it gradually faded to the west mountain, and finally a general under the command of Xiahou Yuan came down the mountain and said: "Lord, we searched all over the top of the mountain, but we couldn't find Lu Bu!" ”

Cao Cao was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Have you ever seen Lu Bu?" The man said, "Yes, he was drinking horses." Cao Cao said again: "Then why can't you catch it?" The man replied: "General Xiahou said that the top of the mountain is a dead end, let me wait for the slow advance, I never thought that after the top of the mountain, I couldn't see Lu Bu, I don't know where to run!" ”

Cao Cao was furious and shouted: "I still don't believe that Lu Bu ran away with wings!" Search for me, search all over the mountains, and you must not let the tiger return to the mountain! ”

"We have searched the mountain, but we still haven't seen any trace of Lu Bu, so General Xiahou wondered if Lu Bu would commit suicide by jumping off the cliff......

"Absolutely impossible!"

Without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, Xun Gang interjected, and seemed to be a little excited, which actually made Cao Cao and Liu Bei a little frightened. Liu Bei smiled coldly and said, "How did Xun Hou know Lu Bu so well? Didn't Xun Hou release Lu Bu privately? Cao Cao glanced at Liu Bei, and said in his heart, what kind of thing are you, arguing with the imperial lieutenant? He turned his head and asked, "What is Taiwei Xun's opinion?" ”

Xun Gang arched his hand and said: "I have met with Lu Bu many times, and I know this person's personality very well. Although this person is brave and unparalleled, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, lest he let the people of the world know that his life is unparalleled in the hands of others, or that he is a person who pays great attention to face. Now that he committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, he will never believe it! ”

"Are you sure?"

"Definitely!"

joke, when Lu Bu was taken to the White Gate Tower, he waged his tail and begged for mercy, like a down-and-out dog, he was completely unheroic; said that he followed Xiang Yu's example and asked himself about the mouth of the Wujiang River, but Xun Gang absolutely didn't believe it.

"So...... Where will Lu Bu flee? ”

At this moment, the troops in front of Cao Cao suddenly became agitated, Cao Cao hurriedly asked why, and before long, he saw a soldier rushing over, saluting and saying: "Lord, there is a soldier in front, saying that he is the old man of Xun Taiwei, and he has something to report to Sikong!" ”

My old man? Xun Gang was a little puzzled, he looked at Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was also looking at him, looking at the former with a blank look in his eyes, Cao Cao was also full of doubts, so he called the man up. Before long, a person walked slowly, wearing a goose robe and a scarf, like a monk and a scholar; And Xun Gang was shocked when he saw this person, and hurriedly dismounted and knelt on the ground, saying, "Brother." ”

That person was Xun Gang's eldest brother Xun Biao, seeing Xun Gang making a big salute, Xun Biao hurriedly said that he didn't dare, helped him up, and said with a smile: "The third brother is a lieutenant of the court, how can he bow down to a civilian?" I have something important to meet Cao Cao today, introduce me quickly, and talk about the old days later! ”

Xun Gang understood, after all, public before private is etiquette, he was busy introducing Xun Biao to Cao Cao, hearing that this person was a person who practiced Taoism, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know what Mr. wants to tell me?" ”

Xun Biao said slowly: "Don't hide it, under the master, Mr. Wujiao, you have just traveled since then, and it happened that Lu Bu asked for help, and the master saved him; Now that Lu Bu has arrived in Xuzhou, Sikong does not have to stay here for a long time. ”

Cao Cao was shocked, and his face was full of disbelief: "Didn't Mr. trick me?" Is there such a thing as teleportation in the world? Xun Biao knew that Cao Cao didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I don't dare to deceive Sikong, but now that the troops sent by Sikong to attack Xuzhou have been repulsed, someone will come to tell Sikong the specific situation." However, he dared to guarantee with his life, Lu Bu was no longer in the mountain, and Sikong Dake left. ”

"This ......"

Cao Cao hesitated slightly, he looked at Xun Gang, Xun Gang seemed to choose to believe his brother, so he nodded at Cao Cao, Cao Cao sighed helplessly: "I never thought that Lu Bu would be in such a situation!" After saying that, he wanted to withdraw the army, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to suddenly open his mouth and ask: "Cao Gong is slow, it can't be said that this thief has hidden Lu Bu's traces, and after Cao Gong leaves, he will lead Lu Bu down the mountain, Cao Gong must not be fooled!" ”

Although Liu Bei targeted Xun Gang because this person was Xun Gang's brother, his words were quite reasonable, so that Cao Cao was also suspicious. If it was really as Liu Bei said, wouldn't that give Lu Bu a chance to escape?

Xun Gang was a little embarrassed, after all, he was not sure whether his brother was telling the truth, but the closeness in his blood made him decide to believe his brother, but how to make Cao Cao believe it was a difficult problem. However, Xun Biao seemed to be quite natural, I saw him smile slightly, out of nowhere to take out a brush to draw a circle on the mud floor, and then the two fingers bent slightly, and then a fish flew out, and the fish was still stained with a lot of water stains, as if it had just been fished out of the water.

"This ...... Why is that? "Cao Cao didn't know what weird spell Xun Biao used, but he was able to catch a fish out of thin air! Not to mention him, even Liu Bei and Xun Gang on the side stayed in place, thinking that this was absolutely impossible, but the fish was clearly real, this ......

Xun Biao smiled slightly, presented the fish to Cao Cao, and said: "This is the perch of the Songjiang River, it is delicious, and it is dedicated to Sikong." In the case that the lower technique is not the master, he can use the technique of Dunjia to fish for thousands of miles; With Master's talent, it is not difficult to send Lu Bu back to Xuzhou......"

Xun Biao's method can't help but Cao Cao doesn't believe it, and with this method, why deceive himself? In desperation, Cao Cao had no choice but to retreat and return to Xuchang. Although Liu Bei was dissatisfied, he couldn't find a flaw; What's more, he just came to Cao Cao, and his official position is not as big as Xun Gang's, so it's better not to be too presumptuous......

Cao Cao didn't seem to want to let go of Xun Biao, and wanted to win him over, so he smiled and said, "I don't know if Mr. is willing to work for me?" With the talent of Mr., it is not impossible for him to ......be a master and a master in the future."

"Sikong Meiyi, I have received it in my heart, but I am just a person who is practicing the Tao, idle clouds and wild cranes, and I can't sit still in the court......"

Cao Cao naturally understood what he meant, and he didn't dare to force him to stay, so he said goodbye to Xun Biao and prepared to withdraw his troops; And Liu Bei looked at Xun Gang Xun's cousin with hatred, and said secretly in his heart: "Xun Gang, I swear to avenge the third brother!" Whether it's you or Lu Bu, I'll kill them one by one! ”

Xun Gang temporarily asked Cao Cao to resign, saying that he wanted to negotiate with his brother, Cao Cao thought that it was nothing, so he left Xun Gang behind. Xun Gang dismounted and sat on the ground with Xun Biao, and now Xun Biao is thirty years old, but Xun Gang feels that he is getting younger and younger, probably because of his long-term cultivation......

Xun Gang wanted to ask Xun Biao how his life was, but Xun Biao kept silent, and when Xun Gang was about to say how he was doing, Xun Biao said: "Brother doesn't need to say much, I have heard all of your deeds." I just want to tell you that you just have to follow the path that feels right for you......"

Xun Biao did not tell Xun Gang about the North and South Dou game, although Xun Gang was present at the time, but he had no memories afterwards, and Xun Biao himself kept silent about it, after all, it was against the rules of heaven. Now that Xun Biao doesn't let Xun Gang say much, and he doesn't talk about his own affairs, the conversation between the two seems to be stiff, and they don't know what to say.

Suddenly, Xun Biao said, "Brother, do you remember your daughter-in-law?" ”

Xun Gang was taken aback, and then remembered that he also had a niece, and he never took care of her affairs since he left the mountain; It is said that Xun Shuang was taking her at the time, but after Xun Shuang died, Xun Gang didn't know her whereabouts.

"Your uncle is very lazy, he has never paid attention to your niece...... Xun Biao smiled bitterly, "Don't forget, her name was chosen by you, and she is now eight years old, and she is not far from Jilu, so you have to take responsibility as an uncle......

Remember...... It seems that getting a name for her by yourself is called Yin Mu, right? Xun Gang was a little confused, after all, it was all many years ago. He turned his head and asked, "Yin Mu her...... At the brother's place? ”

Xun Biao nodded, with sadness in his eyes: "After my father died, I took it to Tianzhu Mountain, although the master asked her to practice Taoism, but she read "Han Feizi", "Guanzi" and other books of military administration, saying that she would assist you in the future...... This little guy has never met with you, why does he want to help you so much? ”

Xun Gang scratched his head in embarrassment, although he had never seen his niece, but because it was his sister's daughter, he felt extremely close in his heart. Xun Biao said again: "In a few years, I will send her to you, don't snub others......"

"Foolish brother understands."

"There's nothing else to say, you and I will be separated today......" Xun Biao got up slowly, a smile appeared on his face, "Third brother, remember to be a brother, anything...... Can't go beyond the bottom line. ”

Xun Gang was puzzled, so he asked the reason, Xun Biao smiled and did not answer, Xun Gang was helpless, so he had to watch Xun Biao drive the crane away, and he slowly followed Cao Cao's team.

The bottom line...... What's the bottom line?

Could it be that the bottom line of holding power is in hand?
