Chapter 512: Guo Tu's Scheme
Chang'an, Guo Yan's official residence. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Guo Yan looked at Li Ru with a gloomy expression and asked, "Wen You, I heard that you ridiculed the envoy sent by Liu Bei, the captain of Sili, drove him out of the mansion, and treated the envoy sent by Zhang Bao with a big gift, is there such a thing?" ”
Li Ru said: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing. ”
Guo Yan frowned and said, "Wenyou, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" Do you really want General Ben to go to the Yellow Turban Bandits? ”
Li Ru asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the general wants to defect to Liu Bei?" ”
Guo Yan said: "It's better to defect to Liu Bei than to defect to the Yellow Turban Thief Army, right?" Zhang Bao's soldiers are strong and strong, Yu She, Gao Shun, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Jia Xu, Guo Tu and others are not fuel-efficient lamps, and you and I may not be able to be reused. But Liu Bei is different, until now Liu Bei only has a few hundred people, Guan Zhang's second general, if you and I go to defect, it will inevitably be reused, what does Mr. think? ”
Li Ru said: "The general is wrong. ”
Guo Yan said: "Why did Wen You say this? ”
Li Ru said: "If you defect to Zhang Bao, the general can at least be too guarded, but if you go to Liu Bei, I am afraid that I will have the surname to worry about my life immediately." ”
"Won't it?" Guo Yan didn't believe it, "Liu Bei is just when he is employing people, and he dares to take the surname of the general?" ”
Li Ru sneered: "If the general is Liu Bei, Liu Bei is the general, will the general dare to accept Liu Bei's surrender?" ”
Guo Yan thought for a moment, and then his face changed.
If the two change positions, Guo Yan really doesn't dare to accept Liu Bei's surrender. Because Liu Bei only has a few hundred soldiers and horses under his command, while Guo Yan has tens of thousands of troops under his command, it is extremely dangerous for such a weak master and strong servant, and Liu Bei must be worried that his position will be replaced by Guo Yan.
Guo Yan was puzzled: "Since this is the case, why did Liu Bei send someone to surrender?" ”
Li Ru said coldly: "What Liu Bei needs is the 20,000 elite soldiers under the general's command, not you, the general." Even if Confucianism goes to Liu Bei's command, he can still be an official and a half-job, but if the general goes, he will definitely die! The general doesn't think that Confucianism will persuade you to take refuge in Zhang Bao, it's all for your consideration. ”
Guo Yan sighed with emotion: "I understand, fortunately, Wen You is thoughtful, otherwise the general's surname would be dead." ”
Li Ru said: "Since the general has made up his mind, how about I go here and tell Mr. Gongze?" ”
Guo Yan said: "There is Lao Wenyou." ”
Li Ru took a long look, turned around and floated away, but Li Ru's figure had just walked away, and a person turned out behind the screen, only to see that this person was long and jade, elegant and handsome, who else was not engaged in Jian Yong under Liu Bei? Jian Yong smiled faintly at Guo Yan and said, "What's the matter, it's not wrong to say it in the next place, right?" ”
Guo Yan was silent.
Jian Yong said coldly: "When my father-in-law was still in Youzhou, Yong had dealt with Zhang Bao, and he knew that this person was suspicious, cruel and murderous. Since the death of Qiu Liju, the lord of Karasuma in Liaoxi, more than 700 tribes of Karasuma and other tribes in the three counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Liaodong have surrendered, but Zhang Bao only accepted the Wuhuan tribe, but beheaded all the leaders and nobles of the Karasuma clan more than 2,700 people! ”
Guo Yan shuddered excitedly, he believed that what Jian Yong said was true, because after Zhang Bao pacified Youzhou, in addition to Gongsun Zhan's forces, Gongsun Du, the assassin of Liaodong, Liu Yu, and the large and small forces of Youzhou were all beheaded by Zhang Bao.
"Zhang Bao has always only been surrendered, and as for the generals, they will all be beheaded!" Jian Yong looked at his face and knew that Guo Yan was frightened in his heart, so he took another fierce medicine, and then said, "Don't look at Duan Xuan who is mixing well under Zhang Bao now, in fact, this is only temporary, and when Zhang Bao transfers Duan Xuan's Liangzhou soldiers, this person's death period will come." ”
Guo Yan took a breath and said to Jian Yong: "Li Ru's heart can be punished, but there is a sentence that he says very reasonably. Does Lord Liu Bei really dare to accept the surrender of this general? He only has four or five hundred soldiers and horses under his command, isn't he afraid that this general will take the lead and rob him of power? ”
"Ridiculous!" Although Jian Yong's ability is mediocre, he is as eloquent as Guo Tu and Hua Xin, and when he was hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping just now, he had already thought of the wording, and when he saw that Guo Yan was really troubled, he asked with great disdain, "Such a ridiculous remark, the general would even believe it?" ”
"Huh?" Guo Yan Huo Ran said, "Ridiculous? ”
Jian Yong said: "Let's ask the general, why did Dong Zhuo lose?" ”
Guo Yan said: "The Kwantung Army is powerful, and the Liangzhou Army is difficult to match. ”
Jian Yong said: "How is the general's self-proclaimed self-proclaimed comparison with Dong Zhuo? ”
Guo Yan said: "It's not as good. ”
Jian Yong said again: "Since this is the case, may I ask, does the general dare to usurp the throne?" After usurping the throne of my lord, what is the general going to use to resist the crusade of the Kwantung coalition? Is it just the general's 20,000 troops? Dong Zhuo's 200,000-strong army was still defeated, not to mention the general's 20,000-strong army. ”
Guo Yan was silent.
He really didn't want to be in charge of the world like Dong Zhuo, he just wanted to go to a place where there were people to be a taishou, as long as he could leave the ghost place of Chang'an, and he could keep the 20,000 horses under his command, he really didn't want anything else, at least not at the moment.
Jian Yong said again: "If the general thinks that he is not capable of resisting the crusade of the Kwantung Coalition Army, how can he dare to usurp the position of my lord?" What can my father-in-law worry about? ”
。。。。。。
Luoyang, Liu Bei's official residence.
Because Liu Bei, the captain of Sili, set up a banquet to invite each other, Situ Wang Yun, Sikong Zhang Wen, Shangshu Lu Yu, Shizhong Cai Yong and other hundreds of officials from the court came to visit together, and heard Liu Bei crying from afar, everyone was surprised, and when they walked into the hall, they saw Liu Bei holding a bowl of moldy coarse rice and weeping bitterly, looking extremely sad.
Wang Yun asked anxiously: "What is Xuande Gong sad about?" ”
Liu Bei wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves and said in a low voice: "I'm not sad for myself, I'm really sad for the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother in the palace." ”
Wang Yun was shocked: "What happened to the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother?" I don't know. ”
"It's not a big deal." Liu Bei said this, handed the bowl of moldy coarse rice in his hand to Wang Yun, and sighed, "It's just that there is a shortage of food in the palace, and the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother can only eat this moldy coarse rice with wild vegetables." As the so-called lord worries about the humiliation of the ministers, the lord humiliates the ministers to death, the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother have no food and clothing, how can the lower officials bear it, woo woo~~"
After that, Liu Bei howled and cried again.
"Ah~~"
Wang Yun sighed and was speechless.
The rest of the people were also silent, even if they had the heart to help, they could get the money, but Luoyang had no rice market, and they couldn't buy extra food to supply the palace.
After a long time, Liu Bei stopped his sad voice and sighed: "Today, Xuzhou is rich and has a lot of surplus grain, although I intend to go to buy it, but unfortunately my sleeves are empty, and I don't have money to buy grain, alas." ”
At this time, Wang Yun's old face was really a little unbearable, and he hurriedly said: "There are some rare antiques in the old man's house, anyway, it's useless to keep them, and you can exchange them for some money if you sell them. ”
Cai Yong also said: "There are also some ancient poems, calligraphy and paintings in the Xiaguan Mansion, and Liu Sili can go and get them." ”
Lu Zhi's son, Shangshu Lu Yu said: "My father has been an official for many years, and he has accumulated some money, and he can still get four or five thousand yuan. Now that the people's livelihood in Luoyang is depressed, there is no price, and there is no market, and there is nothing to buy anyway if you stay at home, so it is better to give it to Lord Liu Bei to buy food. ”
With Wang Yun, Cai Yong, and Lu Yu taking the lead, the rest of the people also knew that if they didn't say anything today, they were afraid that they would have no face to see people again in the future, so they had to endure the pain and bleeding, and they donated money and materials to donate money, and in less than a meal, Liu Bei raised a lot of money for this feast.
After donating money and goods, Wang Yun and others had no intention of drinking the banquet, and left one after another, Liu Bei apologized for his sins, and sent them outside the gate one by one, and when he was sending off the last official, his righteous brother Guan Yu suddenly entered the main gate in the dust, and when he was about to speak, he was stopped by Liu Bei's eyes, Guan Yu understood, and hurriedly silenced.
When the last official walked away, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Yun Chang, how was the harvest of the trip to Xuzhou?" ”
Guan Yu said happily: "The harvest is quite rich." Big brother, this guy is really easy to talk to, and before I finished speaking, I promised to provide the court with 50,000 stone of grain, as well as 5,000 catties of pig iron and 300 sets of armor. The younger brother still regretted in his heart, the eldest brother begged for too little food, and if he asked for 100,000 stones, he might be able to get it. ”
"Although the Ba people are easy to speak, but the Xuzhou officials under him may not be so good at talking, 100,000 stone of grain is already beyond the bottom line of the Xuzhou Shi clan, and 50,000 stone of grain is enough. Besides, the reason why the Ba people are so happy is just to show goodwill, do you think he will give us these things for no reason? ”
Saying this, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly revealed a palpitating gloomy color, compared with the honesty and kindness just now, Liu Bei at this time seemed to be a different person, and then said to Guan Yu: "Second brother, now you immediately go to the Chengdong military camp to order three hundred sergeants to do something important." ”
Guan Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "What's the matter, so anxious?" ”
Liu Bei handed a book in his hand to Guan Yu and instructed: "This is the money and materials that Wang Yun, Lu Yu and other adults promised to donate, and it is clearly and clearly recorded. ”
。。。。。。
Luoyang, the official residence of Cai Yong in the service.
"Puff Bulge~~"
The closed door was suddenly knocked on the sky, and the old man Ding, who had been asleep, hurriedly got up, opened the door a crack, and yawned before he opened his eyes, and muttered: "What kind of person, it's so late and knocking on the door, and not letting people sleep, it's really ~~"
"Old thing, if you don't say a word, you'll die."
Before Lao Jia Ding finished speaking, he had already received a heavy slap in the face.
"You, how do you hit someone?"
Lao Ding hurriedly opened his sleepy eyes, only to see a large group of soldiers holding torches standing in front of the mansion, and it was an officer who beat him just now, who was glaring at him viciously at this time, and scolded: "What's wrong with beating you?" Open the door! I missed the big thing of the second general, and I want you to look good. ”
The old man Ding Huo said: "What is the second general, this is the Shizhong Mansion." ”
"What's wrong with Shizhongfu?" The officer said sharply, "Lao Tzu has just come from Sikong Mansion, and the people of Sikong Mansion dare not treat Lao Tzu slowly. ”
"Ping!"
Before he finished speaking, the officer had already kicked heavily on the door, and Wei Qi's wide opening opened violently, and the thin body of Lao Ding was suddenly knocked backwards and flew out, and he couldn't get up for a long time. The officer kicked open the door, waved his hand back, and said sharply: "Brothers, carry things according to the list." ”
"Yes."
More than 100 soldiers armed with torches responded with a bang, like a group of live bandits, rushing into the Shizhong Mansion in a chaotic manner.
At the opposite corner of the street in Shizhongfu, Guan Yu stood with his hands in his hands surrounded by several guards, and one of the guards said to Guan Yu diligently: "Second general, so that Cai Yong's old man must be scared half to death, and the second general will come forward in time and kill the majesty of Erniu fiercely, hehe, this old thing must not obediently sacrifice his daughter?" ”
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
In May of the sixth year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty (190 years), Zhao Yun, a young general under Zhang Bao, led two thousand heavy armored iron cavalry and three thousand Hun elite cavalry to run more than 2,000 miles, attacking the royal court of the Japanese law deduction department.
Zhao Yun broke through the Xianbei royal court twice before and after, and defeated the Zhijian Luoluo Department and the Japanese Law Deduction Department.
In order to avoid Zhao Yun's soldiers, Xianbei migrated westward for more than 3,000 miles, and never dared to step into the Far East again.
The Yellow Turban Battalion, Zhang Bao's Chinese Army Tent.
"Hahaha~" Zhou Cang, who was full of thick beards, raised his hand and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder fiercely, and said loudly, "The lord is really a discerning talent, General Zhao attacked the Wang Ting of the Deduction Department of the Breaking Sun Law and shocked the grassland, and the Xianbei people migrated westward for more than 3,000 miles in order to avoid the general's edge. The general's contribution is indispensable! ”
Zhao Yun hugged his fists and said: "The last general would not dare to take credit, if it weren't for the fierce attack of the lord's heavy armored iron cavalry, Yun would not be able to make this contribution." ”
"Zhao Yun should not be modest~" Zhang Bao waved his hand and said, "Whether it is the soldiers of the heavy armor and iron cavalry, or you Zhao Yun, this battle is indispensable." ”
After saying this, Zhang Bao said in a deep voice: "The herald ordered the brothers to hurry up and rest, rebel on the fourth watch tomorrow, and then urgently assemble, and rush back to Youzhou with Ben." ”
"Uh~"
Zhou Cang, Guan Hai and the generals in the tent were stunned~
Zhou Cang hurriedly said: "The lord wants to leave?" Now that Xianbei has fled to the west, there is still a surplus for trouble, and the lord is not here? ”
"Although Buyeo is good at fighting, it is far inferior to Xianbei. Moreover, the internal chaos in Buyeo can gradually encroach on Fuyu and will be destroyed sooner or later~" Zhang Bao said and raised the parchment scroll in his hand and said: "This is an urgent report from the military division for eight hundred miles, Jizhou Yuan Shao intends to form an alliance with our army to destroy Han Fu, Han Fu's soldiers are elite generals, and the general must go back~"

Chang'an, Li Ru's official residence.
When Li Ru was having a banquet with Guo Tu, a house slave suddenly came in and said something in Li Ru's ear, Li Ru's face suddenly changed when he heard it, and he jumped up in shock.
Guo Tu's heart sank, and he asked anxiously: "Mr. Li Ru, what's wrong?" ”
"Mr. Guo Tu, this disaster is the worst of all." Li Ru wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in a condensed voice, "Confucianism has always been friendly with Guo Yan's wife and uncle, and just now Guo Yan's wife and uncle sent someone to report that Guo Yan had secretly agreed to Jian Yong and was ready to serve Liu Bei, the captain of Sili!" And he will escort Mr. Xia and Mr. to Luoyang to ask for beheading! ”
"What~~ What!?" This time it was Guo Tu's turn to be taken aback, and said hurriedly, "There is such a thing?" ”
Li Ru put his hand on his forehead and said with annoyance: "What a mistake, it seems that I still underestimate Jian Yong." ”
Guo Tu hurriedly said: "Mr. Li Ru, it is meaningless to say this now, we have to find a way to save the situation, and we must not let General Guo Yan defect to Liu Bei." ”
"I'm afraid it's hard to undo." Li Ru shook his head and said, "For today's plan, I can only run for my life first." ”
"Since it's irretrievable~~" Guo Tu said this, the corners of his mouth suddenly bloomed with a trace of ruthless murderous intent, and he lowered his voice and said, "I can't only send General Guo Yan on the road first!" As long as Guo Yan dies and the Liangzhou rebels are leaderless, we will have a chance to learn from it. ”
"No, no!" Li Ru was so anxious that he shook his hands and said, "It's easy to kill Guo Yan, but it's even worse if you really kill Guo Yan, don't talk about surrendering at that time, I'm afraid that you and I will have to be chopped into meat by the rioting soldiers!" If Guo Yan wants to surrender to Liu Bei, let him go, anyway, the soldiers under the command of the general Digong are strong and strong, and there is no shortage of 20,000 horses. ”
"What if there is a large army outside Chang'an City?" Guo Tu sneered, "Does this gang of rebels still dare to kill Mr. Li Ru?" ”
"Huh?" Li Ru's expression froze, and he finally came back to his senses, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Guo Tu, it turns out that you came prepared!" ”
Guo Tu dusted off his sleeves, straightened his clothes again, and said indifferently: "If you can't even do this little thing, what kind of face will Tu have to go back to Youzhou to see my father-in-law?" ”
Li Ru touched his forehead with his hand, thinking that Guo Tu was really not an ordinary arrogance.
But then again, this guy is thoughtful and does not leak anything, and he does have the qualifications to be arrogant.
