Chapter 372 distinguishes the situation and is offering advice, and Zhang Ren is initially arranging for a foreign visit

The above book mentioned that Lu Xun took Sun Quan's surrender table and came to Luoyang to see Liu Bei.

At this time, Liu Bei had already received the news that Sun Quandong had entered and exited the sea, and intended to send troops to chase and kill.

Lu Xun hurriedly stopped it, elaborated on the danger of going to sea, and made Liu Bei clear of the decadence of Jiangdong.

Prime Minister Xu Shu suggested to Liu Bei, the Son of Heaven, to send troops and horses into Tuntian, Jiangdong.

After listening to Xu Shu's suggestion, Liu Bei sent Liu Xian to lead 50,000 Tuntian soldiers to garrison Jiangdong, crowned Liu Xian as the general of Anton, and led the governor of Yangzhou soldiers and horses (Wu Dun, the general of Anton, returned to his hometown in old age).

In the eighth year of Zhangwu, Sun Quan, who had only established the capital for a year, abandoned Jiangdong, drove a ship to the sea, captured Ryukyu, and established a new state of Wu.

Liu Bei's goal of dominating the world is getting closer and closer!

Only Xichuan is left, presumably Cao Cao's son Cao Ang should also think about his own way out!

Jiangdong is in trouble, and only Xichuan is left in the world.

Liu Bei integrated the three armies and horses of Jiangdong, and crowned Guan Ping as the general of Zhengxi and the governor of Jingzhou (the former general Zang Ba of Zhengxi had died of illness), Zhang Bao as the general of Anxi and the deputy governor of Jingzhou soldiers and horses (the former Anxi general Sun Guan died of illness in Luoyang before the year), and Yan Yue was the general of Pingxi and the deputy governor of Jingzhou soldiers and horses (the former Pingxi general Chen Ji returned to his hometown in old age).

Jiang Wei and others were all added to the rank of knight, assisted Guan Ping and the three, and led an army of 150,000 to be stationed in Xiangyang.

The gateway to Sichuan, the east of Sichuan - Badong City.

Yan Yan, the defender of the city, looked at the battle report in his hand, his expression changed uncertainly, and he didn't know what he was thinking!

Zhang Ren, who was sitting on the side, asked, "Big brother, what makes you so embarrassed?" ”

"Liu Xuande is really amazing! In half a year, he actually forced Sun Zhongmou to lead troops to the sea and captured the Jiangdong counties! Today, there are 150,000 soldiers in Xiangyang, looking at Xichuan! Cao Mengde coerced the lord and made us hold the gate of Sichuan and Shu, and we were bound to fight soon! Yan Yan said helplessly.

Looking at the eldest brother who was over sixty years old in front of him, Zhang Ren felt very sour in his heart.

Half a year ago, the lord Liu Zhang listened to the slander and lured the wolf into the house!

Fortunately, Liu Zhang woke up in time and secretly sent someone to release Zhang Ren. It was precisely because Zhang Ren escaped in time that Yan Yan was saved and Liu Zhang was able to survive!

For the sake of his family members trapped in Chengdu, Zhang Ren had to be stationed with Yan Yan in Badong, the gateway to Sichuan!

Filled with emotion, he sighed and said: "Big brother, now that Xichuan has all fallen into the hands of Cao Thief, the life and death of the lord is unknown, how can we be other people's eagle dogs?" ”

"Your family is all in Chengdu, how can you ignore it as a brother? The lord will not suffer accidents, you can rest assured! It's just that I'm worried about that Zhang Xiu in Bazhong for my brother! Yan Yan said.

Fa Zheng on the side said: "Actually, Zhang Xiu is not afraid! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yan Yan asked puzzled.

Fa Zheng said: "Zhang Xiuben is the nephew of Dong Zhuo's old general Zhang Ji, and he is also one of the world's heroes. Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so that Zhang Ji and the crowd would be killed! Later, Zhang Ji was defeated and died, and Zhang Xiuju retreated to Wancheng and took refuge in Liu Biao! Liu Jingsheng didn't like Zhang Xiu very much, so later Cao Cao besieged Wancheng, but he didn't save it when he heard it, so Zhang Xiu returned to Cao! After embroidering back to Cao, Cao Mengde peeked at his aunt for a long time! This time I sent Zhang embroidery into the Bazhong, one of which is to prevent you and me, and the other is to want to embroider Aunt Zhang! ”

Yan Yan and Zhang Xiu were quite surprised when they heard this!

Why?

Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji died, what age was his aunt?

Cao Cao is over sixty years old, but he won't like an old woman, right?!

Fa Zheng explained his confusion in one word: "Zhang Xiu's aunt is only thirty years old, and she is still younger than Zhang Xiu!" looks swaying, it's really beautiful! ”

"I see! But I don't know what will happen if Zhang Xiu knows? Zhang Ren said.

Fa Zheng replied: "Actually, Zhang Xiu likes this woman very much, if Zhang Ji hadn't married him at the beginning, this woman should be Zhang Xiu's wife." After Zhang Ji's death, Zhang Xiu's aunt wanted to commit herself to Zhang Xiu, but the world did not tolerate it! ”

"If Cao Cao really occupies this woman, Zhang Xiu will definitely not be able to tolerate him!" Only then did Zhang Ren understand.

In this way, Cao Cao's taste is normal!

They didn't know that Cao Cao was terminally ill and had died not long ago!

At this time, go to Zhang Xiu to figure out this right and wrong, lest it be bad!

As the so-called person is deceased, he should not be splashed with ink!

Zhang Ren asked again: "Cao Mengde is dead, and if I talk to Zhang Xiu about this matter again, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince!" Is there a good way to be filial? ”

"If this matter is not for my brother, it will naturally be difficult to convince Zhang Xiu; Brother Zizhong went, but not necessarily! Fa Zheng said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Ren asked puzzled.

Fa Zheng said mysteriously: "Brother Zizhong, you have a lot of connections with Zhang Xiu. ”

"Origins?" Zhang Ren was even more confused.

It was only at this time that Fa Zheng said that the two of them had the same origin.

It turned out that Zhang Xiu was also a disciple of the old swordsman Tong Yuan.

Tong Yuan traveled all over the world and had several disciples, Zhang Ren was the eldest disciple, and Zhao Yun was the closed disciple.

Tong Yuan is an original character in the Three Kingdoms, which does not exist in history and in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Tong Yuan, the word Xiongfu, a martial arts master, and Li Yan of Bingzhou are sworn brothers, both of them learned from their father-in-law Yu Zhenzi, and the two married the two eldest ladies of the Yan family in Hebei, Yan Yun and Yan Yu. Tong Fei's father, Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu are disciples, and his famous skills are "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear".

Tong Yuan is Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren's master. Tong Yuan received two apprentices, one was Zhang Xiu, the "Marquis of Wancheng", the king of guns in the north, and the other was Zhang Ren, the king of guns in Xichuan, Yizhou (now Sichuan). Both of them learned his "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear" and achieved great fame.

In the setting of Yuan Dynasty operas and some folk novels, Zhao Yun was Tong Yuan's apprentice in his later years, but it is not recorded in the official history.

Of course, these are all legends, and the stories in the legends are gradually quoted by more people, and they have become the background of the characters in the novel. In the previous book, Coffee set Zhao Yun's master as Zuo Ci, who was sprayed for a century......

For the continuation of the story, coffee once again quotes this legend!

Hearing Fa Zheng say this, Zhang Ren's heart moved.

He secretly thought to himself: The family teacher's marksmanship - a hundred birds and a phoenix is an unsecret legend. If that embroidery is really my brother, you will know it by trying!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ren smiled and asked quietly: "Xiaozhi, a certain teacher taught martial arts, but later I learned that there was a junior brother Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, but I didn't hear that Zhang Xiu, the gun king of the north, was also out of the same door as a certain teacher!" Are you willing to make a recommendation and test a thing or two? ”

Fa Zheng smiled and said to Zhang Renyan: "Zizhong, is you recommending?" I am not familiar with that embroidery, how can I introduce it to you? However, there is a certain plan that can help you find out! ”

"What do you do? Quick as it gets. Zhang Ren asked.

Fa Zheng said: "Zhang Xiu has been stationed in Bazhong for a long time, and I am waiting for the current visit to visit!" What do the two generals think? ”

Yes!

Since they were both under Cao Ang's command, they should indeed visit this new neighbor!

Zhang Ren looked at Yan Yan and saw that the latter nodded in agreement, so he asked hesitantly: "Cao Cao is dead, if you still use that dirty thing to talk about, it seems ......?" ”

"Brother Zizhong, have you heard of Cao Cao's second son, Cao Pi?" Fa Zheng asked again.

Zhang Ren was stunned, not knowing what Fa Zheng meant.

Fa Zheng smiled and said: "This person is not as good as his third brother Cao Zhi, and his martial arts are not as good as his fourth brother Cao Zhang, but he is a little like his father Cao Cao!" This person is extremely lustful, eating, drinking, and having nothing to do all day long! I heard that as soon as Cao Cao died, he brought Zhang Xiu's aunt into the house! ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Yan Yan and Zhang Ren shouted in unison.

This Cao Pi is also a character!

This kind of thing has been done, it seems that Cao Ang is still very doting on this younger brother!

It is said that among Cao Cao's sons, the eldest son Cao Ang followed him to the south and the north, and made a lot of military achievements, so he rightfully inherited the power and status.

However, Ang is much older than his brothers, and he loves them very much!

After being proclaimed emperor, Emperor Wen Cao Ang canonized his second brother Cao Pi as the king of Chengdu, the third brother Cao Zhi as the king of Hanzhong, and the fourth brother Cao Zhang as the king of Bajun.

Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang both received the holy decree, and Cao Pi just shirked.

Seeing his resignation, Cao Ang asked the reason in confusion.

Cao Pi whispered to Emperor Wen that he wanted to accept Zhang Ji's wife as a concubine.

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Wen was so hung that he was not angry!

But then I thought about it, isn't it just a woman?

Anyway, I don't have any name with my father, so I should be a slave!

Although he agreed to this matter, he still strictly ordered Cao Pi not to marry this woman in a big way, let alone accept this woman as a wife and concubine!

In this way, Cao Pi secretly took Zhang Ji's wife Yan to Fuzhong......

Fa Zheng told this story to the two of them.

The expressions on the faces of the two were wonderful.

After speaking, Fa Zheng asked: "If Zhang Xiu learns about this, what do you think he will do?" ”

"It seems that Cao Ang's days in Sichuan are coming to an end!" Zhang Ren said sincerely.

Fa Zheng said helplessly: "If you can take all the family members out of Chengdu, now is the best time to counterattack Chengdu!" But you and I are controlled by others and have to bow our heads! ”

Yan Yan looked at the two of them and comforted: "It's okay, as long as we block the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty for them here, the family members in Chengdu will not be in danger!" If it is said that Zhang Xiu is moved, Zhang Xiu is in a mess, and we move the camera, we will definitely be able to rescue the lord and his family! ”

"It seems that this is the only way!" Zhang Ren sighed, and then asked, "Big brother, when will I go to Bazhong?" ”

Yan Yan thought for a while and said: "Without further ado, tomorrow you and the two of you will go with their entourage and write a letter for your brother, and you can convey it to Zhang Xiu!" ”

"That's good!" Zhang Ren agreed.

The next day, Zhang Ren and Fa Zheng took more than 20 followers, rode fast horses, and went straight to Bazhong.

There are a lot of mountain roads to go through from Padang to Bazhong, and there are no wide roads like the Central Plains, and fast horses are more often held in the hands of everyone.

Along the way were some old trees in the deep forest, and as they walked along the shady boulevards, all they heard were the chirping of insects and mosquitoes in the mountains, and the occasional roar of wild beasts.

Although they were only a few hundred miles apart, they brought enough dry food and drinking water for more than ten days.
