Lu Ren hit Zhang Xiu's seven inches with a stick, and knew that he was a little speechless when he mentioned Wan'er's matter, so at this moment, he hurriedly launched a "five-card combo" against Zhang Xiu during the "tongue war": "Of course, general, you can try to ask Liu Biao for some grain and grass for support, but how does Liu Biao treat the general, you know better than me, general, you want him to support grain and grass for you, but you are working for Yuan Shao, no matter who else you are, you won't do it, right?" Of course, you can also pretend to surrender to Cao Gong first, get grain and grass from Cao Gong and then turn it into Yuan Shao. But general, what do you think of this kind of thing in the Cao Guild?

"If you surrender and don't leave Wancheng, of course Cao Gong will double his defense against you, and in order to have no worries when fighting with Yuan Shao, it may be very likely that he will send troops to destroy you first. General, in fact, there are a lot of things, you just need to think about it in your heart, but don't say it nonsense, let alone in front of me, a person under the command of Gong Cao. If you really want to ask, the person you are asking should be Mr. Jia, not me......"

Zhang Xiu's sweat came out drop after drop. He didn't know how full Lu Ren's preparation was, almost the choice that Zhang Xiu might be able to make, anyway, what Lu Ren could think of and find out, at least theoretically, all blocked up for Zhang Xiu. And now as soon as these words come out, it really makes Zhang Xiu feel a little embattled. But then again, the current Zhang Xiu is indeed in a situation where he can't find a way, otherwise Lu Ren's theory is useless no matter how beautiful it is.

After a long silence, Zhang Xiu said gloomily: "Lu Servant, Xiu really wants to ask, do I really have no other way out?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Didn't I say it just now? In this case, you shouldn't ask me, but Mr. Jia. After all, I am Cao Gong's lobbyist. It is impossible not to speak for Cao Gong. Even if I am thinking about you, the general, and falling into the ears of others, I will also think that I am speaking for Cao Gong. ”

Zhang Xiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" In fact, in the eyes of embroidery, Lu Servant Shot treated Embroidery with sincerity, and did not deliberately cover up the ugliness with beauty, so what Lu Servant said. Embroidery trustworthy...... Embroidery actually wants to ask, can embroidery be able to tie knots in many ways, and finally be able to protect itself alone? ”

Lu Renle was happy. In fact, everyone may have such an idea, that is, no one can be offended, and finally be a good person who is safe and sound, but this kind of thing is obviously unlikely. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ren said: "General, don't blame me for speaking ugly, according to the current situation, the final result will be settled in many ways." It can only offend everyone in the end. Let's put it this way, general, can you compare to Lu Bu? Can you fight better than Lu Bu? ”

Zhang Xiu hurriedly shook his head, he still had this self-knowledge, and he was definitely not as good as Lu Bu in terms of being able to beat him, but he didn't understand why Lu Ren wanted to compare him with Lu Bu.

Looking at Lu Ren again, he explained unhurriedly: "I will be involved with Lu Bu because General, your current situation is quite similar to Lu Bu, who occupied Xuzhou at the beginning. It can also be said that if you compare the general to Lu Bu at that time, then the current Liu Biao is like Yuan Shu at that time. If Lu Bu hadn't wavered between Cao Gong and Yuan Shu. I want to help with this all of a sudden, and I want to take advantage of that all of a sudden. He doesn't necessarily end up in the end. With Lu Bu's ability, if he is determined to help one, even if he can't achieve great things in the end, he can still do it if he wants to get out of the way. At the very least, he won't end up with a capricious infamy, and no one will come to his aid in the end. ”

Zhang Xiu thought about it for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Lu Ren continued: "Yuan Shu is finished now. I also dare to assert that there is no difference between Liu Biao and Yuan Shu in the future. Of course, although Liu Biao's personality is not as bad as Yuan Shu, Liu Biao is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, and he has no enterprising heart. In these troubled times, it is almost impossible to keep your own inheritance. The general wants to get married in many ways, but in fact, he is following the path that Liu Xian is taking, and it will only attract everyone's resentment in the future. ”

Zhang Xiu was silent. But after a long time, Zhang Xiu came up with this sentence very thoughtlessly: "Lu Servant, are you interested in playing a song with embroidery?" How about playing Fang Cai's "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon"? ”

Lu Ren was a flute at the time: "Play a song together?" ”

Zhang Xiu smiled, half-sat up and called to the entourage below: "Someone! Fetch the huqin I brought right away! ”

The entourage responded to the order, and after a short time, a huqin was sent to Zhang Xiu's hands. Zhang Xiu caressed it with affection and said, "This huqin is her relic, and I have always taken it with me." And in the old days, she was instructed, and she also played the huqin well. After listening to Lu Fu's "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", Xiu already knew a little about how to play it. Lu Servant Shot, please speak! ”

Hearing Zhang Xiu's words, Lu Renleng came back to his senses after a long time there. After bowing his head and muttering for a moment, Lu Ren nodded lightly to Zhang Xiu. In fact, Lu Ren has now understood, Zhang Xiu's coming like this undoubtedly shows that Zhang Xiu has made a decision in his heart, and this decision is obviously the one that Lu Ren wants to see.

As soon as he understood this, Lu Ren closed his eyes with a smile to calm down, and the bamboo flute in his hand slowly came to his mouth. The clear sound of flute music sounded again under this moonlit night, and after the first few bars passed, Zhang Xiu's melodious huqin sound also rose, closing the tone for Lu Ren's bamboo flute.

The bamboo flute and the huqin, if only in terms of music theory, are one high and one low in the scale, and if they are played together, they will have a lot more auditory three-dimensionality than the solo performance of the flute and huqin. At the beginning, Lu Ren was a little worried that Zhang Xiu would be unfamiliar with the melody of "Chasing the Moon with Colorful Clouds", and maybe even because he didn't know it at all, which would disrupt the overall fluency and beauty of the music, but soon Lu Ren realized that his worries were unnecessary.

Zhang Xiu's one-handed huqin is indeed played well, and what is even more rare is that Zhang Xiu is not familiar with the main theme of "Chasing the Moon with Colorful Clouds", and does not play according to the main theme played by Lu Ren, but pulls out a bass chorus that belongs to improvisation, which is very good with the main theme of "Chasing the Moon with Colorful Clouds". In this way, Lu Ren's heart was secretly surprised, but he was also relieved. Glancing at the clouds and moon in the sky, I felt a little more in my heart, and then I concentrated on playing.

The two masters of one flute and one hu, the flute player standing and the huqin player, are playing to the moon on the roof under the moonlight at this moment. And the breeze and melodious melody on this moonlit night also made the two on the roof faintly reveal a bit of elegant and chic taste. When the sonata of the two gradually deepened and tasted, Lu Ren remembered Wan'er, Zhang Xiu missed Zou, and involuntarily dissolved this bit of sorrow for the deceased beloved woman into the music, and the melody became a little different charm.

Looking at the children of the Lu family and the soldiers of Wancheng in the post house, they are all listening to this song "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" with bated breath. And it is not difficult to see from the eyes of many people looking at the bright moon, or the expressions of bowing their heads and closing their eyes in contemplation, that this song "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" also evokes the meaning of missing certain people and certain things in their hearts.

When the song was thick, Lu Ren's ears seemed to hear Wan'er's soft singing:

"The night of the curved moon is getting thicker/The moonlight is accompanied by a light breeze/The moonlight is more hazy/Reflecting the face in the lake/In the soft figure/A little lovesickness/The moonlight seems to be the dream of the old man/I want to ask the old man if he knows/I meet in my heart/Only please take the bright moon away to greet me/The colorful moon chases the moon and walks ......"

The song has ended, and Lu Ren and Zhang Xiu have also put down the bamboo flute and huqin in their hands. It's just that although the instrument was put down, Lu Ren couldn't help but look up at Yunyue and sang softly. Zhang Xiu on the side did not disturb Lu Ren, and quietly listened to Lu Ren finish singing.

After singing the short song, Lu Ren and Zhang Xiu looked at each other wordlessly for a long time, and Lu Ren suddenly shook his head and smiled: "I really didn't expect that the general and Lu Ren would be people with the same disease." General, the melancholy in your huqin is very strong! ”

Zhang Xiu sighed lightly: "How can the lovesickness contained in the bamboo flute and the light song not be deep? A little lovesickness, looking at each other in our hearts, these two sentences are used very well, expressing the sorrow in our hearts. And Wan'er, who Lu Fushu misses in his heart, and Zou who embroiders bitter love, are already deceased people separated by yin and yang, and they can only ask for it when they meet......"

Lu Ren sat down beside Zhang Xiu, and sighed: "When people are depressed, they can suddenly meet a person who has a similar experience to themselves and sympathizes with the same disease...... General, are you really quitting drinking because you are so disciplined? ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head a little embarrassedly and said with a dry smile: "Aren't you making fun of me?" In fact, what is the reality of Wancheng, Lu Servant shoots you already know it. The food and clothing of the 8,000 children under the embroidery command have become increasingly scarce, and a while ago he sent someone to ask Liu Jingsheng for food, but Liu Jingsheng only promised it. These 8,000 children are almost out of food, embroidered as a person who leads the army, since he should share the weal and woe with the children under his command, how can he take the grain and make wine and enjoy the luxury alone? ”

Lu Ren nodded secretly after hearing this. Xin said that Zhang Xiu was not a first-class general, and his strength was not very good, but he was able to hold out in Wancheng for so long in the current situation at that time, and even had a record of defeating Cao Cao twice. In addition to Jia Xu's strategy playing a major role, Zhang Xiu's own ability to command the army is also a factor that cannot be ignored. And a general who can share weal and woe with his subordinates often has a strong combat effectiveness of his subordinates.

Smiling casually, Lu Ren called to the Lu family disciples under the room, "I remember that we still had some wine with us when we left Xu Du, right?" Send two gourds of wine and some dried vegetables, and I want to drink with General Zhang. ”

After a while, two gourds of wine and some dried vegetables were delivered to the roof. As soon as this wine gourd arrived in Zhang Xiu's hands, Zhang Xiu couldn't wait to unscrew it and pour a big sip, and when it was over, he wiped his mouth and smiled: "Good wine, good wine!" I don't know how long it's been since I've been drinking! It's really nice to be able to play a song with Lu Servant under this moonlight today, and now I can talk to each other about drinking! Come, Lu Servant, embroider to you! (To be continued......)
