Chapter Seventy-Four: Cao Cao's Revenge

Yan Xi, a big businessman in Bingzhou, Yan Xin's father, that is, Lu Bu's father-in-law. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After Lu Bu sent someone to take Yan Xin to Chang'an, Yan Xi also prepared to go to Chang'an, but the family business needed some time to deal with, and he did not go south with Yan Xin.

Today, I just arrived in Chang'an, and I had already heard that my friend was in Chang'an, so I came to visit. His friend is the world-famous Confucian Cai Yong Cai Zhonglang.

Let's say that back then, the ten permanent servants were in power, because Cai Yong was upright and upright, and bluntly said seven things in the book, and denounced the ten permanent servants for interfering in politics and causing chaos in the government, and was hated by the ten permanent servants, Cai Yong had to avoid Wuyuan County.

Yan Xi is a big businessman in Bingzhou, and he is willing to give, and he has always admired Cai Yong's reputation, so he went to pay a visit. Later, the ten permanent servants conspired to poison Cai Yong, but they were all rescued by Yan Xi, and the two formed a deep friendship.

Later, Cai Yong returned to Luoyang, and then he was framed to avoid Jiangdong, and the two lost contact. Yan Xi also returned to Chang'an, only to hear that Cai Yong was in Chang'an, and under the joy, he couldn't care about catching up with his daughter, so he came to find Cai Yong.

Cai Yong also didn't expect to see Yan Xi in Chang'an, and after careful questioning, he learned that Yan Xi had come to seek refuge with his son-in-law. Cai Yong didn't ask much, but what he didn't expect was that this son-in-law turned out to be Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't know that Yan Xi was familiar with Cai Yong, but this was a good thing after all, and he wanted to persuade Cai Yong to have a better chance of winning.

A few people sat down, the subordinates of Cai's Mansion served wine and food, and the three of them pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, most of them were Yan Xi and Cai Yong reminiscing, and Lu Buzhi seemed to have nothing to do, so he had to eat one glass of wine after another.

Lu Bu was originally a good drinker, and this amount of alcohol was nothing to him, so he had to listen to some old stories about the two of them.

Listening and listening, Yan Xi led the topic to Lu Bu.

"Fengxian's grandfather and father were the captains of Wuyuan in Bingzhou, and later in order to protect the people to evacuate to Guannei, unfortunately sacrificed, I have always respected Fengxian's grandfather, father such people, and later saw the son of Lu Xiaowei, that is, Fengxian, the young hero was brave and merged, and often ganged up to kill the Xianbei and Huns outside the Saiwai, and the Weiwei outside the Saiwai, so the Xianbei people and the Huns did not dare to come to Kou to plunder Wuyuan County. At that time, I married my only beloved daughter to Bongxian. ”

Lu Bu smiled bitterly and shook his head, what is there to say about this kind of thing. But for this father-in-law, Lu Bu still has more respect. This is Lu Bu's character, and he treats his family and relatives with respect and care.

Cai Yong's eyes swept over Lu Bu, drank a glass of wine, and thought to himself that it was Jiangmen who had always looked down on Lu Bu's background, and didn't want his grandfather and father to be admirable heroes. Thinking of this, Cai Yong only felt that his old face was red, and at this time, looking at Lu Bu's gaze, he was no longer so annoying, but appreciative.

Looking at what Lu Bu did after killing Dong Zhuo, whether it was ambition or loyalty, at least he didn't poison creatures like Dong Zhuo.

Since he owes him a favor, why not agree to his request, the dean of Dongguan Academy is actually not bad. For example, today, that is, Yingchuan College and Lumen Mountain Private School, which are well-known in Shilin, although they don't care about fame and fortune, but as a scholar, who doesn't want to be able to peach and plum all over the world? Now that the opportunity is in front of him, Cai Yong hesitates because of some disagreement with Lu Bu.

But now, Cai Yong's thoughts have changed a little. Yan Xi has a very personal relationship with himself, and his personality Cai Yong himself knows best, the so-called people gather like people in groups, and they can have a deep relationship with Cai Yong, where will it be worse?

In the same way, how can the person who can marry his daughter be worse? At this moment, Cai Yong had already recognized Lu Bu in his heart.

Although Lu Bu was helpless, after all, one was his father-in-law, the other was Cai Yong, a literati and a Confucian, so he had to patiently hold the two of them to reminisce.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere is also a lot more harmonious, and Lu Bu and Cai Yong can still talk about some governance policies, and Lu Bu also answers them one by one.

Speaking of ambition, Cai Yong asked Lu Budao: "Since Feng Xian killed Dong Zhuo, the power has leaned towards the government and the opposition, deposed Wang Yun and others, and excluded dissidents. But in the eyes of the people of the world, how do you view Fengxian? ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "It's just another Dong Zhuo." ”

Cai Yong and Yan Xi were also stunned, and only heard Cai Yong say: "Doesn't Fengxian care about the opinions of people in the world?" ”

"Why should you care what others think?"

Lu Bu said casually.

Cai Yong sighed: "The mouth of the world is long, and everyone is golden, aren't you afraid that the people of the world will treat Fengxian as another Dong Zhuo?" Aren't you afraid of leaving a stench for 10,000 years? ”

"Yes, Bong-sen." Yan Xi also said earnestly: "Uncle is for your good, you are still young, but you can't act rashly, you must know that it is easy to break." Sometimes you need to be gentle. ”

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "If you don't have me, what can I do about it?" ”

"It's just an excuse." Cai Yong glared at Lu Bu dissatisfied.

Lu Bu wanted to be perfunctory, but seeing that the two of them were listening carefully, he had no choice but to say: "Dong Zhuo's cholera is overrun, I will eliminate the national thief for the country and kill Dong Zhuo, but what about Wang Yun?" Wang Yun and others competed for power and profit, and excluded dissidents. ”

Lu Bu continued: "How people in the world view me is nothing more than a certain humble background, they say that I am stubborn and self-serving, arrogant and unreasonable, brave and unscrupulous, but because of a certain background. In the final analysis, most of them are just silverfish of the country. These families, they only value the interests of the family, and there are a few people who serve the country and the people, so how can I Lu Bu care about these people? When I was young, in order to avenge my family and country, I resolutely devoted my pen to Rong, and to protect the country and the people, which has always been my wish. Later, Ding Jianyang was the history of the Bingzhou Thorn, and the cloth was also deeply reused by the history of Ding Thorn, thinking that he could lead the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry from now on, drive out Hu Lu, and follow the example of Huo Huqi to seal the wolf Juxu, and show his wishes. However, the world has been in turmoil since then, Dong Zhuo has been in turmoil, Ding Yuan is the regime, and he has no choice but to kill Dong Zhuo regardless of the life of Bingzhou Erlang, so as to protect Bingzhou Erlang. After Dong Zhuo bullied the Son of Heaven and poisoned the people, I killed him again, and the people of the world thought that I was disloyal and unjust, at this time, I knew that I was no longer allowed in the world. ”

Cai Yong was silent, Lu Bu was right, he himself thought so before.

"If there is chaos today, I don't know what Feng Xian's ambitions are?"

Lu Bu said solemnly: "Calm the world, drive out the Hulu, and make the countries of the Quartet come to congratulate." ”

Yan Xi praised: "My quality Fengxian is not a small ambition, and I should fully support Fengxian in the future." ”

"So, thank you, father-in-law."

……

said what he said that day, so that Cai Yong recognized Lu Bu from the bottom of his heart, let go of his former feelings, and in order to repay Lu Bu's favor, he promised to help him become the dean of Dongguan College.

Lu Bu took Cai Yong as the dean of Dongguan College and Ma Riyan as his deputy, and began to recruit students, whether poor or from a family, they could enter Dongguan College to study, and after studying, they could go to the local government after assessment.

However, at present, the students of Dongguan Academy are all the sons and nephews of the strategists and generals under Lu Bu, which also laid the foundation for Lu Bu to begin to annex the world's families in the future.

After Yan Xi knew Lu Bu's ambition, after returning to the Taiwei Mansion, he found his daughter and persuaded her that her husband would definitely not belong to a woman. Yan Xin also knew that it was impossible for her husband to have a woman, but as a woman, how could she accept it if she wanted to share her husband with others, not to mention that she was even a golden house, so she was very strong in the matter of Diao Chan.

But after his father's persuasion, coupled with Lu Bu's love for Yan Xin in every way, he slowly accepted Diao Chan and sent someone to take Diao Chan to Taiwei's Mansion.

Cai Yan, who is the same sister as Diao Chan, often comes to see Diao Chan, and also wants to secretly see Lu Bu. It's just that Lu Bu is busy with military affairs, and the two have never seen each other.

However, although he didn't see Lu Bu, the relationship between Cai Yan and Yan Xin became better and better. Yan Xin saw that Cai Yan was good at poetry and songs, piano and chess, so she let her daughter worship Cai Yan as a teacher.

Cai Yan also likes the cute little Qiling very much, and happily accepted the first student. Therefore, in the back garden of the Taiwei Mansion, there is often a gurgling sound like flowing water.

The time has come in July, the autumn is crisp, and the fields in the north are filled with the joy of autumn harvest. In the month under LΓΌ Bu's rule, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, temporarily away from the chaos of war.

After Zhong Xuan's implementation of the Tuntian policy, in the vicinity of Chang'an and Luoyang, the displaced and landless people were recruited to reclaim the wasteland. In addition, there were also disabled soldiers who had retired from the army, all of whom were placed in tuntian and self-sufficient to support the three armies.

On the other hand, LΓΌ Bu sent Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping to Jingzhou to secretly buy grain, which was also continuously transported to Chang'an, plus the military rations harvested from Tuntian two months later, the grain and grass could guarantee at least one year to support the army and the people under his rule.

In terms of soldiers, the cavalry is still full of 8,000 and the infantry is 20,000, as for the equipment battalion and the medical craftsman battalion, the development is slow, and Lu Bu can only do this at the moment. With weapons and armor and complete siege equipment, Lu Bu had the intention to take advantage of the autumn harvest to send troops to Hedong and Hexi to completely pacify Sili Erzhou.

Xudu, Sikong House.

A month after Cao Song was killed, Cao Cao fell into great pain. Every time he woke up in the middle of the night, he was thinking about his father, so that his expression was a little dazed, and within a month, Cao Cao suffered from migraines, often with unbearable headaches.

Since this month, Cao Cao has not forgotten to avenge the murder of his father countless times, so he has secretly accumulated soldiers, horses, grain and grass to prepare for the Eastern Expedition to Xuzhou.

After a month of preparation, both soldiers and horses, grain and grass have been prepared, and Cao Cao also decided not to wait, he wanted to invade Xuzhou as soon as possible, kill Tao Qian, and avenge his father.

Although Cao Cao has long wanted to occupy Xuzhou, this time, Cao Cao has a gritted hatred, he wants to attack Xuzhou, and every time he goes down, he will slaughter a city to avenge his father.

"Are you ready?"

Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan and the others under the tent and asked coldly.

"It's all ready, just waiting for the lord's order."

Xiahou Yuan hugged his fists and said to Cao Cao.

"Wait!" Xun Yu came out and said: "Lord, Yu thinks that it is not appropriate to conquer Xuzhou at the moment. ”
