"So, we're better and better with Cao Cao, right?" Sun Quan said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The subordinates think so." Lu Xun replied.
Sun Quan looked at Zhu Ran: "Ma Hong is your senior brother, you should know him better, so in your opinion, if Ma Hong wants to get the world, he will choose where to do it first." ”
Zhu Ran pondered for a while and said, "I remember that Senior Brother Ma once said that if you want to get the world, the first thing you get must be the Central Plains and Jingzhou. ”
"He only took half of Jingzhou, Zhongyuan, he didn't get it at all, so will he choose Zhongyuan first, or Jingzhou first?" Sun Quan asked at Zhu Ran.
Zhu Ran frowned, and said slowly: "I think he will definitely choose the Central Plains first." ”
"Why?" Sun Quan asked again.
Zhu Ran thought about it carefully, and then said: "Senior Brother Ma likes to compose lyrics and chant poems, he has written many poems himself, and I remember a lot. The place name that appears most in his poems is Luoyang. ”
"Oh? Luoyang? What kind of poems are they, tell me. ”
Zhu Ran recalled carefully and said: "If you ask about the ancient and modern affairs, please only look at Luoyang City." This is what he said when he went back to the academy to debate with Senior Brother Zhuge , and I remember it very clearly. ”
"Good poetry." Sun Quan praised, his eyes tightened and continued: "Is there anything else?" ”
"Every three years, all countries tend to Heluo." Zhu Ran came up with another sentence that Ma Hong once said.
"It's a good country to go to Heluo, Ma Hong's ambition is really big, but is there any?" Sun Quan asked.
"The two sentences that I still remember, Gu Laili and the name, are in Luoyang City. There is also a sentence of Luoyang peony in the world. ”
"Hehe, it seems that Ma Hong has special feelings for Luoyang City! But I remember that Ma Hong didn't have the title of Peach Blossom Lang when he was a teenager? Doesn't he like peach blossoms? ”
Zhu Ran nodded: "When I was in Shuijing Villa, I heard from Yang Yi, Fei Yi, and Ma Liang that Ma Hong has special feelings for the Central Plains, especially for Luoyang and Xuchang, and he cares a lot. In that year, when Ma Hong was Liu Biao's courtier, the Battle of Guandu broke out, and he wanted to lead troops north many times to capture Xuchang, but Liu Biao did not agree; When Cao Cao went north to attack Yuan Shang, Ma Hong sent troops to attack Cao Cao, took Chang'an, captured Yongzhou, and could have defended the army, but he had to attack Luoyang, which broke out a decisive battle with Cao Cao, who returned to the rescue of the division, and a decisive battle, Ma Hong and Cao Cao were both defeated, and Ma Hong almost died in the snow. ”
Sun Quan nodded and said, "Then Zhu Ran, do you mean that Ma Hong will definitely make a move on Cao Cao first?" ”
Zhu Ran nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Okay." Sun Quan took a deep breath and said, "Both of you should step back first!" Let me think about it. ”
When Zhu Ran and Lu Xun retreated, Sun Quan took off his shoes and walked barefoot on the cold floor, walking back and forth, thinking. An hour later, Sun Quan made a decision to send an envoy to the state of Haowei.
Changan.
A tavern in the west of Chang'an City, this tavern is not big, not small, but this tavern attracts the entire Chang'an City drinkers, the wine of this tavern is said to have the best wine in the whole Chang'an City, the proprietress of this tavern is the most beautiful boss in the whole Chang'an City, the name of the proprietress of this tavern is rarely known, but she has a good nickname, called Jiu Sanniang. In Chang'an City, people who like to drink alcohol know the name of Sanniang, and they all like to drink Sanniang's wine, Ma Hong, an alcoholic, came to Chang'an, and heard from the mouth that there is such a good place, so naturally he will not let it go.
There is an idiom called idleness, Hao Zhao thinks that this idiom is the most appropriate to describe his current self, because he really has nothing else to do except drink now, if there is something to do, then there is really one thing to do, but that thing is too difficult for him. There is also an idiom called thief eyebrows and rat eyes, Hao Zhao thinks that it is very appropriate to describe his brother Hao Xin, although Hao Xin is his own brother, but Hao Xin's appearance is really a little shabby.
Hao Xin lay on the counter and sneered at the proprietress who was reading the account book, five minutes ago Hao Xin took a ceramic jar, and then mysteriously handed it to Hao Zhao, and asked Hao Zhao to unscrew the lid, after which Hao Zhao left a shoe print on Hao Xin's face, because the ceramic jar contained Hao Xin's fart. Hao Zhao has been in Chang'an City for a month and three days, but he has nothing to do, except to sit on the chair in the store and doze off every day. Originally, Hao Zhao was originally from Taiyuan, since this state was annexed by Ma Hong, Hao Zhao wanted to take refuge in Ma Hong, but the state assassin Shi Gaogan did not give Hao Zhao this opportunity, Hao Zhao heard that Ma Hong, the king of Chu, came to Taiyuan, so he wanted to see Ma Hong, but he didn't see it, Ma Hong went to Chang'an again, Hao Zhao followed to Chang'an, wanting to find an opportunity to meet the king of Chu.
"Boss, your eyebrows are so thin."
Hao Xin reached out and touched the proprietress eyebrows, touched his own eyebrows, stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips.
The proprietress looked at Hao Xin's face with a smile, picked up the water in the tea bowl on the table and poured it on Hao Xin's face. Speaking of which, this proprietress is Hao Xin's distant cousin, Hao Xin has always been very interested in his cousin, but his cousin is not very interested in Hao Xin. Now her cousin is married to the owner of a Chang'an tavern, and after Hao Xin and Hao Zhao came to Chang'an City, they naturally lived in their cousin's tavern temporarily.
"I'm sorry, cousin, but I didn't have time to tell you that this cup contains my mouthwash."
The proprietress put down the account book in her hand, covered her chest, and looked at Hao Xin with a regretful expression.
"It's okay, it's okay, my cousin's saliva is also fragrant."
Hao Xin touched the water droplets on his face and said with a lewd smile.
Speaking of which, the boss lady's husband died last year, and the boss lady was widowed as soon as she became the boss lady, when Hao Zhao came to Chang'an, Hao Xin had to come with a dead face, and said that he wanted to rescue his cousin.
"You're so stinky!"
The proprietress said unhurriedly.
Hao Xin said bitterly: "But I only shame on you!" ”
"You get out of here, don't interfere with my business."
The proprietress picked up the account book unhurriedly and no longer looked at Hao Xin.
Hao Xin walked to Hao Zhao's side and sat down, covering his face and not talking anymore.
The girl who was standing at the door of the store at this moment, she was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pair of big eyes and delicate facial features, and a very slender figure. His waist-length hair was tied with a purple headband and two golden bells tied around his waist. Next to the girl stood Ma Hong and Deng Ai.
"Guest, what do you want?"
The proprietress put down the account book in her hand and asked Ma Hong and the others to sit down.
