Chapter 125: General Pingxi
Liu Yan finally arrived in Hanzhong after a lot of hardships. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Cao De took Jia Xu and Zhang Fei to lead an army of 5,000 out of the city for three miles to greet him. Liu Yan almost cried when he saw Cao De's familiar face.
Cao De also went to Liu Yan's house when he was giving gifts a few years ago, so Liu Yan is still familiar with this rising star.
If Cao De hadn't put on a full show of officialdom etiquette at this time, Liu Yan would definitely hug Cao De and cry. Anbang, who are you bringing? You know how difficult it is for me to get to you, brother. Fortunately, they didn't kill my heart, that's it, brother, I also peeled off a layer of skin for them.
Suddenly, Liu Yan thought about it. suddenly felt that Cao De's face full of smiles was so hypocritical. Good boy, it turns out that you want to fix me. Yes, if it weren't for Cao De's secret order, how could Lu Gu dare to clean up Liu Yan like this. But Cao De really didn't know what was going on the road. Cao De only said that he wanted to delay time, but he didn't say that he wanted to rectify Liu Yan.
Liu Yan is not a stupid person, of course he will not give Lu Gu a small report. Even if he sues, he doesn't necessarily know how Cao De will compensate himself.
Straight to the point.
After Cao De and Liu Yan met, they first shushed a few words. "Liu Yizhou, you have come from afar, you have worked hard." "It's not hard, it's for the country and the people, that's what it should be. But General Anbang worked hard for the people of Hanzhong. "Hey, hey, where, where. That is, the parents and officials naturally have to ask for the lives of the people. ”……
Then, Cao De and Liu Yan laughed a few words, and suddenly Liu Yan pulled out the holy decree in his cuffs and shouted: "The holy decree has arrived!" ”
Cao De was caught off guard by Liu Yan's play, and quickly knelt down, and then everyone present knelt down except Liu Yan. Cao De knelt on the ground and scolded in his heart: "Your sister, the turtle grandson surnamed Liu, actually dares to play with me, I'll see how I play you to death later." ”
"On March 9 of the second year of Zhongping, Emperor Hong wrote a policy. Recently, Yizhou was troubled by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Cao De, the Taishou of Hanzhong and the general of Anbang, found out the news in time and reported it to the Son of Heaven.........
Liu Yan, a member of the Han family, has both ability and political integrity...... Now, Liu Yan is appointed as the pastor of Yizhou, the commander-in-chief of the military and political power of Yizhou, to exterminate the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and to return the Han to fight the rivers and mountains......
Cao De, the minister of the humerus of the Han Dynasty, led the army to conquer the Yellow Turban Army in the first year of Zhongping, broke the thieves and killed the enemy, and made great achievements...... Cao De is now appointed as the temporary commander of General Pingxi. He led the army to help Yizhou Mu Liu Yan quell the Yizhou Rebellion. When the world is decided, we will reward meritorious deeds. ……
Chin this! ”
Liu Yan read nearly 1,000 words and finally finished reading the holy decree. After 'admiring this', Cao De shouted to the Lord Long En and took the holy decree.
Judging from the holy decree, Liu Hong wrote the holy decree on March 9. Then the time for Liu Yan and Lu Gu to set off is March 10. Today it is March 28th. It usually takes only ten days to get from Luoyang to Nanzheng. However, Liu Yan walked for eighteen days. This is enough to see how much Liu Yan has sinned on the road.
In addition, Liu Hong asked Cao De to temporarily lead General Pingxi. Here we have to talk about the officer system of the Eastern Han Dynasty. First of all, as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, he is a general. The position of the general is sometimes above the Three Princes, and sometimes below the Three Princes. The position of general was created by Emperor Wu. And the first to serve as a general was Wei Qing. After the general, there is the hussar general, and the most famous of the hussar generals is Huo Quai. After that, there were the Che Cavalry Generals, the Wei Generals, and the Fourth Army Generals. These five generals are permanent generals. As for the next four marches, four towns, four an, and four ping generals. This is not permanent. Only when there is a war, in order to give the people who are conscripted, you will be given a name. If you win the battle, you will be crowned a general of the Fourth Army or a general of Wei. As for when there is no war, people who have no background and no money will be counted to the top at most. As for the titled generals, there are those with four grades and those from the fifth rank.
Last year, when Cao De led the army from Hanzhong, he thought he was a miscellaneous general of the fourth grade, and when he went to Luoyang to receive the reward after the battle, he realized that he was a miscellaneous general of the fifth grade. Don't underestimate these two grades, it's a world of difference.
In fact, the miscellaneous generals are those Zhonglang generals who have won the battle, but they are not happy with the Son of Heaven, so they will reward the miscellaneous generals as a consolation prize. In fact, there were very few miscellaneous generals before Emperor Ling of Han had braids. When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao began to oppose each other, many miscellaneous generals began to spring up like mushrooms after a rain. And the lieutenants and lieutenants, who were the former backbones, are not worth much.
Even some people with hundreds of people occupy a small town, and they dare to call themselves generals. This jumped directly to the miscellaneous general. Don't look at him, he doesn't even have a lot of manpower for Cao Cao, he is just jumping and cheerful.
Therefore, don't underestimate those lieutenant generals and lieutenants who were divided by Cao De. In fact, those officials are still very valuable now. You must know that when Cao Cao took his soldiers and horses out of Luoyang to ask for the yellow scarf, he also wore the name of captain.
But Cao Cao's lieutenant is not at the same level as Zhao Yun's lieutenant. It's like Yuan Lang and Gao Cheng in Cao De's "Soldier Assault" in his previous life. Gao Cheng was just a company commander at first, and Yuan Lang was a captain. Looking at the number of people in charge of the two of them, there is not much difference, but Yuan Lang is a colonel! There are also lieutenant colonels in the soldiers, except for the two wonderful ones Sanduo and Chengcai, all of whom are lieutenants. From this point of view, Gao Cheng has a way to compare with Yuan Lang.
Now Cao De has become the general of Pingxi. Cao De, who already knew some insiders, naturally knew that Luoyang was giving himself some sweetness first, afraid that he would not be able to do his job. But Luoyang didn't know that even if they didn't let Cao De work, Cao De would have to work.
On the other hand, at some point General Pingxi had more power than Yizhou Mu. But what Luoyang was afraid of was that Cao De would cover the sky in Yizhou, and then Liu Yan and Liu Yan in the holy decree appeared to lead the military and political power of Yizhou.
So Cao De's Pingxi general can be said to be the second-in-command of Yizhou.
And in the plan that Jia Xu formulated for Cao De, it doesn't matter whether Cao De is in the official position or not, as long as we can drive the army through the Sword Pavilion and enter Yizhou, then we will win.
Since Cao De has already gotten what he wants, then Cao De must be happy. But as soon as Cao De thought about Liu Yan's prank just now, Cao De couldn't help but want to retaliate. If you play me, I have to play you, but I can only play you, and I can't let you play me. I know you very well, you dare to play me like this. See what I do to you later. If Cao De knew that Lu Gu and the others had played Liu Yan half to death before, he would definitely not think so.
Now that the holy decree has been read, it is time to move on to the next item and wash the dust for Liu Yan.
So, Liu Yan was invited to the camp outside Nanzheng City and began to pick up Liu Yan. The good guy didn't let the state pastor of the lord of a state enter the city to sit down, and he was directly brought to the barracks.
When Liu Yan saw Cao De's approach, he was immediately a little dissatisfied. After all, Liu Yan has also enjoyed luxury. Now that he has not been treated as he deserves, he is naturally unhappy. So, Liu Yan said with a straight face: "Anbang, there is no hurry to drink, let's go to the city first to discuss the countermeasures to quell the Yizhou Rebellion." ”
After Cao De pressed Liu Yan to the main seat with a smile, he said, "This, don't worry. The lowly duties have long been arranged. Now there are 10,000 troops in this camp, and there are still 20,000 troops under Baishui Pass. After eating and drinking well tonight, we will directly take the 10,000 troops here to Baishui Pass tomorrow morning. To save time, let's not go into town. Lord Zhou Mu didn't know that this Nanzheng City was also very chaotic, it was easy to get in, but it was difficult to get out. The refugees in Nanzheng City were blocked on that road. Even if you want to go out of the city, you have to take a small road, and it would be undignified for an official of such a big state shepherd to take a small road. ”
Cao De's words were sincere, and he played with Liu Yan, who didn't know. So Liu Yan also sat down with an open heart. But what Liu Yan didn't know was that the holy decree that had just been passed on to Cao De had already been taken by Black Pearl to Baishui Pass.
In fact, Cao De knew the gist of the holy decree as early as when Liu Yan and Lu Gu just walked out of the Sanfu area, and then began to mobilize troops and horses. Zhou Cang's 20,000 blade battalion had arrived at Baishui Pass three days ago, and just waiting for Cao De's order, Zhou Cang went straight to the Sword Pavilion.
Now Cao De sent someone to send Liu Hong's holy decree to Zhou Cang. It's better than any pass. Zhou Cang took this holy decree as long as it was still in the hands of the Han army, and the city would not be released immediately.
And there is a reason why Cao De wants to march ahead of Liu Yan. I won't list this for now.
The camera returns to the banquet in the camp of Nanzheng.
Cao De first found various reasons, and then everyone present drank four glasses of wine in a row, and then Cao De began to introduce Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Cao Ren and Zhang Fei to Liu Yan. These four people found Liu Yan again and toasted four glasses of wine each. After a series of times, Liu Yan had already poured twenty glasses of wine. No matter how much Liu Yan drinks, he can't withstand the bombardment of everyone.
After a while, Liu Yan drank so much that his tongue was almost bent, and Cao De saw that the time had come. So Cao De carried his wine glass, left his position, pretended to be drunk, and walked towards Liu Yan leisurely, and said as he walked: "Zhou, Lord Zhoumu, you, you, look...... When I went to visit the meeting at the beginning, I said that sooner or later, adults will soar to the top......"
Liu Yan listened to Cao De's words in a daze, and then he was going to praise himself. But Liu Yan, who was fascinated by his eyes and was about to dictate the words of praise, suddenly heard an ordinary voice. Then before Liu Yan could open his eyes, Liu Yan felt something splashed on his face, and it was oily with his hands. When he opened his eyes, Cao De was lying on the ground, raising his head and smirking at himself. And the table in front of him was overturned. Then Liu Yan stretched out his palm and looked down. Yell, good fellows. I'm covered in vegetable soup.
FeelingsJust now, Cao Er was stunned and knocked over the table, and the dishes on the table were drenched all over himself.
Just when Liu Yan was in a daze because of this situation, Cao De climbed in front of him with a smile and took off a chicken head from the top of his head! Yes, a chicken head. And the chicken head still has its mouth open because of the trick that was inserted, although the chicken head is cooked. But in Liu Yan's eyes, he was laughing at himself!
Cao De watched Liu Yan's face become more and more ugly, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry." I drank too much and offended a lot! How offended! Then Cao De fell asleep with his head down in order to run away. Everyone who was originally stunned by Cao De's actions saw Cao De lying on the ground all of a sudden, and they snored. Jia Xu was the first to react, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Liu Yizhou, I'm really offended. General, he was drunk, you see, all asleep. In this way, the general drank with the lowly officials and knocked over the table several times. You atonement for your sins, atonement for your sins. Jia Xu said as he shouted to the guards on the side, "Hurry up and carry the general back to rest." There is also hot water, and the governor should wash up. ”
Within seconds, Cao De was carried out of the banquet room. As soon as Cao De was carried out, he opened his eyes, and then asked the guards to quickly carry him away. Now that I knew that Cao De was playing tricks again, the guards snickered and carried Cao De back to Cao De's residence.
Looking at the other side, Liu Yan, who was dressed in vegetable water, was originally full of anger, but because of Jia Xu's soft tofu, he couldn't have a good attack. While muttering: "Anbang's wine is too bad, too bad!" "I followed the guards to wash up.
After everyone present respectfully saw Liu Yan away, they all laughed in unison. Because, they all saw Cao De sneaking a glance at them after he fell!
After washing, Liu Yan was just about to lie down and rest, and Jia Xu came to the door to make amends. After Jia Xu came, Liu Yan was scared out of sweat with a single sentence. Jia Xu said: "Just now, the general woke up for a while, and he offended Liu Yizhou by mentioning to the general. The general hurriedly said that he would prepare a banquet in the evening and apologize to the adults. ”
When Liu Yan heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and the drowsiness caused by the soaking in hot water disappeared all of a sudden. Come on, I'm not playing, we can't afford to play what you guys play. Liu Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, please tell General Pingxi, this is a trivial matter, so that General Pingxi doesn't have to worry about it." ”
When Jia Xu heard this, he smiled apologetically, made a good appearance, and said, "Liu Yizhou, rest assured, according to the usual practice." General Pingxi is afraid that he will not sober up until tomorrow morning. The general just ordered that he should apologize to Liu Yizhou instead of the general! ”
When Liu Yan heard this, Cao De didn't come. Cao De didn't come, so he could barely accept it. So he nodded and agreed.
In the end, Liu Yan still participated in the evening indemiology banquet, but Cao De really didn't come. But Liu Yan still sadly asked Jia Xu and a few people to douch down. Two alcohol battles in a row. Even if it's a huge number, it can't support the bombardment of four people in turn.
On the second day, when Liu Yan woke up, it was almost afternoon. Liu Yan got up leisurely and looked at the sky. It's bad, it's okay to say that the army will go out today. How did I oversleep. So Liu Yan quickly put on his clothes and ran to the door to reprimand the guards, but the guards looked aggrieved, you ordered us not to disturb you last night, you have to sleep until you wake up naturally.
After Liu Yan got up, Cao De could not be found in the Manda camp. In the end, I only found Xu Shu, who was still in the camp.
After Liu Yan found Xu Shu, he opened his mouth and asked, "What about General Pingxi?" ”
Xu Shu saluted and said, "Oh, general." It's a battle. Early in the morning he set out with ten thousand soldiers. ”
After Liu Yan heard this, he said in surprise with a big mouth: "Left, he left without calling me!" ”
Your sister, Cao De actually left Liu Yan behind and ran away with the army.
At this time, Cao De, who had already walked into the mountains with the people and horses, looked at the sky, imagined Liu Yan's expression in his mind, and couldn't help laughing, "It's fun, it's fun!" (To be continued.) )
