Chapter 333: Violent illness and death

Nishikawa.

In the Qingming season, the rain is like a willow.

Ma Yuezheng, accompanied by Dian Wei, Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Fei Shi, Wang Lei, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and other Xichuan civil and military personnel, came to Chengdu to travel outside the mountains and rivers. However, Ma Yue obviously didn't mean to drink, and his eyes would look at the little lady and the big girl who walked by with an umbrella on the official road from time to time.

In his previous life, Ma Yue had never been to Sichuan in his life, and he had never tried the style of Sichuan beauties until he died, which can be said to be Ma Yue's lifelong regret in his previous life.

But unfortunately, all I saw along the way were some vulgar powder, and it was difficult to get into the eyes of Ma Yue.

Ma Yue was disappointed, was about to take the horse back to the city when a carriage suddenly drove by, Ma Yue inadvertently turned around, just caught a glimpse of the curtain of the car window lifted a corner with the wind, at a glance, Ma Yue clearly saw a young woman sitting in the carriage, the posture is very lovely, especially the young woman is also wearing a filial piety, it is even more moving.

Zhang Song, who had just become the assassin of Yizhou, quietly came up and said to the horse: "Lord, that is the carriage of Liu Yizhou's mansion." ”

"Oh?"

Ma Yue was leisurely fascinated and gave Zhang Song an ambiguous look.

Zhang Song comprehended, lowered his voice and said: "The little lady sitting in the carriage is Liu Yizhou's widowed sister-in-law Wu, this is a famous beauty in our Xichuan. ”

"Huh." Ma Yue stretched out his hand and stroked his chin and saw the thick long beard, turned his horse, and said to Jia Xu and the others, "Go, go back to the city, I've been in Chengdu for a few months, and it's time to visit Liu Yizhou." ”

……

Chaisang, Zhou Yu's official residence.

Lu Meng strode into the hall with his head held high, waved his fist at Zhou Yu, and said loudly: "The last general will see the Grand Governor." ”

"Ziming, are you here?" Zhou Yu smiled slightly, put down the military book in his hand, and beckoned, "Today is not an informal military discussion, Ziming doesn't have to be so famous, come, come and sit." ”

"Governor Xie."

Lu Meng still respectfully clasped his fists, and then took two steps forward and knelt opposite Zhou Yu.

[During the Three Kingdoms period, guests generally did not use chairs, and the guests and hosts all knelt on the ground. ]

Zhou Yu said: "I heard that Zi Ming studied the military book at night, and it has reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, I don't know if it is or not?" ”

Lu Meng hurriedly said: "I have nothing to do, let's chat to pass the time." ”

"Hehe, Ziming doesn't have to be humble." Zhou Yu said happily, "If all the generals of the Wu army can be as diligent and studious as Ziming, why worry about the immortality of the horse and the uncertainty of the world." ”

Lu Meng said: "Most of the governors have a reputation, and they dare not be ashamed." ”

"This governor will test you today to see if you have learned something." Zhou Yu said this, his expression suddenly turned serious, and asked, "I don't know what Ziming's view of today's general trend is?" ”

Lu Meng thought for a while and replied solemnly: "When the horse butcher is the most powerful today, and Yuan Shao is his minion, our army can only compete with Cao Ying. ”

Zhou Yu said: "Can the Wu army win against the Shangliang army?" ”

Lu Meng said: "There is defeat and no victory. ”

Zhou Yu said: "What can I do? ”

Lu Meng said: "Only by relying on the favorable terrain of the Jiangdong River, vigorously developing the water army, and using the water army to balance the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Jiangdong can be safeguarded." ”

"Shibei San, you should be impressed, hehe." Zhou Yu said happily, "In Ziming's words, our army is indeed inferior to the Liang army in field warfare, and only by relying on the naval army can we protect ourselves, but strategically our army cannot be so passive, and should actively seek the Northern Expedition, plot Xuzhou and the Central Plains, and then divide the east and west with Ma Wei equally." ”

"The Grand Duke!" Zhou Yu's voice fell, and suddenly Colonel Wu Jun entered the account and said, "Marquis Wu asks the Metropolitan Governor to go to Lujiang quickly!" ”

"The time has come." Zhou Yu said, "The Lord is summoned, and it must be for the Northern Expedition." ”

……

Chengdu, Liu Zhang's residence.

Liu Zhang invited Zhang Song to the side alone and asked in a low voice, "Yongnian, what does the prime minister mean?" ”

"Ahem." Zhang Song coughed lightly twice, and said to him, "Didn't Liu Yuanjun see it?" ”

Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "I really don't know." ”

Zhang Song said in a low voice: "So that Junning does not hear the illness of the widow? ”

"The disease of the widow?" Liu Zhang suddenly realized, and immediately his face was uncertain, and he said angrily, "The prime minister is too deceitful!" ”

"Hey, Liu Yuanjun is serious." Zhang Song persuaded, "Wouldn't it be against humanity to want my sister-in-law to be in her youth, so she is alone?" And the prime minister's majestic posture is unparalleled in the world, so that the sister-in-law can be regarded as a beauty and a hero, isn't it a beautiful thing? Looking at Xichuan, I don't know how many people want to offer a beauty to the prime minister, why should Liu Yuanjun be hypocritical. ”

"This ......"

Liu Zhang was speechless for a while.

Zhang Song said again: "Liu Yuanjun, I heard that the prime minister has played the Son of Heaven to make the king enter the court as the Zongzheng, although the holy decree of the Son of Heaven has not yet arrived, but I can congratulate the envoy in advance." ”

"Really?" Liu Zhang's expression darkened, and he sighed, "Understood......"

……

Liu Zhang's mansion, annex.

At this time, Xichuan is still a little chilly, the doors and windows of the west wing room have been closed early, only the melodious and melodious piano sound accompanied by the gentle singing voice wafts out from the cracks in the door and window, and there are faint lights to put the seductive figure of the dancer on the window, which looks particularly graceful.

In the wing room, Liu Zhang's widowed sister-in-law Wu is touching the piano in the window, the burning charcoal fire will smoke and roast the house warm like spring, Wu's face is also peach blossoms, it looks more and more charming, a pair of clear water eyes are particularly bright and moving, the jade fingers are light and comfortable, and the clear sound of the paragraphs is like the flowing water of the mountains, which makes people forget to return.

A team of Xichuan dancers are singing and dancing slowly, the thin light veil on their bodies is not enough to cover up the alluring spring color, ** split, the subtlety is clear, Ma Yue's eyes are like torches, scorching on the hot ** of the dancers, and then suck up the hot wine in the cup.

The wine swelled up, and Ma Yue's eyes instantly became hot.

"Beauty." Ma Yue hooked his finger at Wu and said with a cruel smile, "Come here, come here." ”

Wu didn't dare to disobey, Lianbu Shanshan walked to Ma Yue's side, and when he was still two steps away, Ma Yue had already reached out of his ape arm and hugged Wu into his arms, and then tore off Wu's clothes with a hiss, and a pair of straight, warped and plump [***] popped out and rubbed on Ma Yue's face, which made people's hearts rush and be difficult to collect.

Wu snorted, and his pink face turned red with shame for a moment.

Ma Yueyin was still excited, and then he reached out and cracked Wu's bottom, and in an instant, the two plump and upright snow buttocks were presented naked in front of Ma Yue, Ma Yue smiled, hugged Wu's slender waist and gently forced her to kneel on the soft carpet, and then opened the bow left and right with both hands, and slapped Wu's snow buttocks twice.

Wu Xue Xue groaned, and two clear slap marks had appeared on her snow-white buttocks, like two plum blossoms tattooed, which looked particularly delicate and attractive.

[To paraphrase a reader's words: puppy style, see puppy style again, love puppy style the most, in addition, the first starting point of this book is Chinese Net, please read readers at his station to support the swordsman at the first station, thank you.] ]

……

Puyang, General's Mansion.

Yuan Shao is judging with his henchmen and strategists, drinking and having fun, there is a team of Shanyue dancers in the hall holding short swords and wooden shields singing and dancing, and Yuan Shao is accompanied by two Jiangdong beauties to accompany the wine, hugging left and right to be happy.

"This Jiangdong woman is the water spirit." The strategist is a loyal minister, but the loyal minister is also lustful, looking at the team of Shanyue dancers in the hall, the eyes of the judge are shining with silver, and he praises, "Tsk, look at the small waist twisted, the skin is so tender that you can pinch out the water, I really want to hold it in my arms and taste it." ”

"Jiangdong women are not only soft-skinned." Yuan Shao said with a smile, "If Zhengnan likes it, why don't you choose two from this team of Shanyue dancers to go home?" ”

The judge was overjoyed and said: "Is this true? ”

Yuan Shao said: "When does Lone's words not count? ”

"Thank you so much, my lord." The judge said urgently, "I want those two dancing girls with big butts, small waists, and melon seed faces." ”

"Okay." Yuan Shao waved his hand and replied briskly, "Those two women are from Zhengnan." ”

"So, I will give a cup to the lord." The judge held up the wine cup and couldn't help but say, "Thank you for the beautiful woman from the lord." ”

"Okay." Yuan Shao laughed and said, "Drink, hahaha...... Belch! ”

Yuan Shao laughed halfway, suddenly sighed, his expression became sluggish in an instant, and then he fell straight back, and when he rushed forward to help Yuan Shao up, he found that Yuan Shao was already foaming at the mouth and unconscious, and the two Jiangdong beauties who accompanied Yuan Shao were already frightened and white.

……

In May of the twelfth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty (199), the general Yuan Shao collapsed at the age of forty-seven.

……

It was night, and the general's mansion was full of slaughter.

Judge, Feng Ji, Li Fu, Xin Ping, Xin Bi and other important ministers gathered outside Yuan Shao's bedroom, one by one seemed to be distracted, restless, and was waiting impatiently, suddenly saw Lang Zhong crying and mourning walked out of Yuan Shao's bedroom, and the ministers led by Judge and Feng Ji hurriedly surrounded him.

"How is the lord's condition?"

"Has the lord woken up?"

Lang Zhong sighed and shook his head.

"Squeak!"

The closed door opened again, and Yuan Shao's wife, Liu, walked out of it with a murderous face on her face, and shouted, "Where is Yuan Wu?" ”

An old man who was close to the sixtieth birthday stepped forward when he heard the sound and responded: "The old slave is here." ”

Liu gritted his teeth and shouted: "Tie up those two little Jiangdong sluts, whip them to death, and then pierce their faces with golden needles, so that they can no longer seduce men in the underworld after they die!" ”

"The old slave commands."

The old family general agreed, and took the order, and in less than a moment, he led the family to pull out the two Jiangdong women from the wings on both sides, and the two Jiangdong women obviously realized their fate, crying and begging for mercy from the Liu family: "Mrs. spare your life, Mrs. spare ......your life."

Liu ignored it, only the look on his face became more and more hideous.

After a while, the General's Mansion was in the hall.

The three major strategists of Trial, Fengji, and Xin Ping are secretly discussing the matter of establishing an heir with Yuan Shao's wife, Liu.

Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang are all descendants of the Liu family, but the Liu family, like Yuan Shao, prefers Yuan Shang more in their hearts, and they all intend to make Yuan Shang the son, but considering that it is contrary to common sense to abolish the elder and the young, Yuan Shao has not made up his mind for a long time, but this delay has brought ruin to the Yuan family.

Liu Shi said to the three people: "The concubine inherits the will of her late husband, and wants to set up a third son to succeed to the throne, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

Xin Ping and Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan had a very close relationship, and said urgently: "Madame, the so-called order of the young and the old, how can the ancient system be abolished at will?" I thought that the eldest son Tan should be made heir, if not, I am afraid that there will be endless disasters. ”

Liu frowned and was silent.

The judge has always been friendly with Yuan Shang, and immediately retorted: "Zhengnan's words are wrong, the third prince is heroic, both civil and military, and has the style of the lord's legacy, so he should be the heir to inherit the unification." ”

Xin Ping and the judge couldn't argue, and Liu asked Feng Ji again: "I don't know what Master Feng Ji thinks?" ”

Feng Ji said: "In the next only Mrs. Ma is looking forward. ”

Liu said: "Then don't mourn secretly, first call Gongzi Shang to return to Puyang heir, and then call Gongzi Tan, Gongzi Xi, and Gao Gan to return to Puyang, and then mourn, and help the coffin of the ancestor to return to Yecheng for burial." ”

……

Runan.

Since Yuan Tan was enshrined by the imperial court as the assassin of Yangzhou, Yuan Shao divided 50,000 troops and was led by Yuan Tan to garrison Runan, always putting on a posture of coercing Huainan and Lujiang.

It's night.

Yuan Tan had just returned to Pingyu (Runan County) after inspecting the barracks, and before he could unload his armor, a small colonel came in to report: "General, Mr. Xin Ping is visiting." ”

"Mr. Xinping?" Yuan Tan hurriedly said, "Invite him in." ”

The little colonel took the order and left, and in less than a moment, he led Xin Ping back, and Xin Ping hurriedly said: "Son, something is wrong." ”

Yuan Tan said: "What's the matter? ”

Xin Ping gestured with a look in his eyes, and Yuan Tan hurriedly retreated, and then asked, "Zhongzhi, what's wrong?" ”

Xin Ping said gloomily: "The lord has returned to heaven." ”

"Huh?" Yuan Tan was taken aback, and immediately knelt on the ground to the north, howling, "Father, father, where ......"

"Childe, now is not the time to be sad." Xin Ping took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Madame conspires with the trial and Feng Ji to order the third prince Yuan Shang to take the throne, and the time is when Yuan Shang returns to Puyang!" Gongzi needs to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise once Yuan Shang is allowed to inherit the unification, Gongzi will die in the place where he is buried. ”

"What!?" Yuan Tan said angrily, "This son is the eldest son, and my father's unification should naturally be inherited by my son, what qualifications does Yuan Shang have for the heir?" It just doesn't make sense! ”

"Childe." Xin commented, "Yuan Shang has the support of his wife, trial matching, and Feng Ji, and it is only imperative to inherit the lord's unification, and now there is no other way, the prince can quickly raise an army to kill Puyang, and attack Puyang before Yuan Shang's heir, and show the edict left by the lord to the world, only in this way can the overall situation be saved." ”

"Okay, that's it!" Yuan Tan patted the case and said angrily, "Come on, beat the drum and raise the account!" ”

……

Puyang, the general's mansion side hall.

Feng Ji said to the judge: "Brother Yuantu, I just learned that Xin Ping is a cheater at home under the pretext of illness. ”

"Ahh The judge said, "Is there fraud in it?" ”

"Exactly." Feng Ji said, "Xin Ping actually left Puyang five days ago, and you and I have been kept in the dark by him. ”

"Xin Ping left Puyang? At this time? The judge pondered for a moment, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he lost his voice, "It's hard to say that this guy went to Runan?" ”

Feng Ji said: "I also think so below. ”

The judge said: "If Xin Ping goes to Runan, it must be to report to Yuan Tan, with Yuan Tan's surname, once he knows that his wife is going to abolish Chang Liyu, he will definitely not be reconciled, and it is very likely that he will send troops to attack Puyang and reverse the situation before the son is still the heir, so the situation will be bad!" ”

Feng Ji said: "If Yuan Tan really raises troops to rebel, I don't know if Brother Zhengnan has a good way to deal with it?" ”

The judge showed a cold light in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "There is no other way to do it now, but to cut the hemp quickly, and strive to calm the situation in the shortest possible time, otherwise the lord's foundation may be ruined, and when the time comes, not only Sun Quan and Cao Bao will send troops to attack our army, but even the horse butcher is very likely to fall into the ground." ”

"Since that's the case, then without further ado, you and I will go our separate ways." Feng Ji said, "Brother Zhengnan hurried to Chenliu, let Gongzishang lead his troops north to Puyang, and then went to Shanyang overnight, let the second prince also lead the army back to Puyang, and then asked General Gao Gan to mobilize the defenders of Puyang to spread a net around Puyang, and wait for Yuan Tan to lead the army to attack." ”

"Okay." "That's it." ”

……

Huainan Hefei.

20,000 elite Wu troops were secretly assembled, and Hefei at this time had become a huge barracks.

In the big tent of Zhou Yu's Chinese army, Tai Shici, Zhu Ran, LΓΌ Meng, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng, Quan Cong and other Eastern Wu generals gathered together and were enthusiastically discussing the Northern Expedition.

"The Governor of the Metropolitan has arrived."

A loud trumpet suddenly sounded outside the tent, and the generals in the tent hurriedly stopped discussing.

In the calm footsteps, Zhou Yu walked into the big tent wearing a military uniform and smiling, and the generals hurriedly clasped their hands into fists and sang loudly: "The last general will wait to see the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Zhou Yu strode to the back of the case, and said solemnly: "The generals are exempt from courtesy." ”

"Governor Xie."

The generals hugged their fists and thanked them, and then they retreated and lined up on both sides.

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said loudly: "Map!" ”

A small colonel had already unfolded the map and hung it on the screen, Zhou Yu strode to the screen, beckoned to the generals, and said, "Come, all the generals, please come around." ”

The generals gathered around the screen as they were told.

Zhou Yu said: "Generals, just made a detailed report, Yuan Shao has died half a month ago, Yuan Shao's strategists, Feng Ji and other edicts support Yuan Shao's third son Yuan Shang's heir, Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan raised troops to rebel, returned to the division to attack Puyang, but was defeated by Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, and Gao Gan outside Puyang City, and now Yuan Tan has led the remnants of the army back to Runan. ”

"Yuan Shao is dead? That's great! General Tai Shi Ci said, "Now that the horse butcher is far away in Xichuan, and Yuan Shao has died of a violent illness, who else can stop our army's Northern Expedition?" At this time, if you don't take the Central Plains, when will you wait! ”

"Hehe, General Taishi, don't be impatient." Zhou Yu smiled, "At present, there is still a lack of opportunity to start the Northern Expedition!" ”

"Opportunity?" Tai Shi Ci said, "What do you mean? ”

"That said, now is not the time." Zhou Yu said, "Sending troops to the Northern Expedition at this time is likely to force Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to temporarily withdraw their troops and join forces to resist our army!" If our army waits for a period of time first, and then sends troops when Yuan Tan is desperate and asks for help from our army, then not only can we divide the Hebei army, but also use the old Yuan clan to kill each other, and our army can win the Central Plains without soldiers and blood, so why not? ”

"Yuan Tan asking for help?" Tai Shici was puzzled, "In the past two years, Yuan Tan led the army to garrison Runan and has been fighting with our army, how can he ask our army for help?" Even if you ask for help, you should ask Liang Jun for help, right? ”

Zhou Yu said: "Ma Butcher, Jia Poison Shi is far away in Xichuan, it is difficult to get news in a hurry, Ma Chao led the army to the Western Regions, and now there is no one in Luoyang City to preside over the overall situation, if there is no Ma Butcher permission, who dares to send troops to rescue Yuan Tan and others like Fang Yue, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, etc.?" If Yuan Tan wants to survive, he can only wag his tail and beg for mercy from our army. ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "I see. ”

Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and patted the map on the screen, and said loudly: "Since the horse butcher is far away in Xichuan, the Liang army can't react, and it is not difficult to capture the Central Plains, the problem now is how to defeat Yuan Shang in the shortest possible time, and then wave the army to the east and attack Xuzhou on both sides, our army will definitely capture Xuzhou before the horse butcher returns to Luoyang and the Liang army reacts." ”

Lu Meng said: "Yuan Shao has been violently killed for half a month, if the Liang army sends the news to Xichuan in an expedited manner of eight hundred miles, then the horse butcher knows that the news is within a few days, and then when the horse butcher returns to Luoyang, mobilizes the army and then deploys grain and grass, the general thinks that it will take at least two months for the Liang army to dispatch more than 20,000 troops." ”

"No, it will take at least three months!" Zhou Yu said categorically, "Since the horse butcher occupied Xichuan without bloodshed, it is impossible for him to let hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops continue to stay in Xichuan with his surname, but to transfer these hundreds of thousands of troops out of Xichuan, and then mobilize troops from outside Sichuan to settle in Xichuan counties, all the work takes time and is complicated, and it is impossible to complete it in half a year!" ”

Lu Meng said: "Moreover, before the situation in Xichuan is completely stable, the horse butcher will never dare to leave Xichuan rashly." ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "Why is this? ”

Lu Meng said: "Because Cao Ying is in Jingzhou, the horse butcher may be taken advantage of by Cao Ying if he is negligent!" ”

"It's worthy of Ziming." Zhou Yu nodded happily, looked around at the generals and said, "In other words, our army has three months to force the Xuzhou army to submit!" ”

……

Runan, Yuan Tan's mansion.

Xin Ping hurriedly entered the hall and said to Yuan Tan: "My lord, the rebels of Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, and Gao Gan have come from the west, north, and east, and they are only less than a hundred miles away from Pingyu City!" ”

"Huh?" Yuan Tan was shocked when he heard this, "Catching up so soon?" ”

Xin Ping said in a deep voice: "It seems that Yuan Shang is intent on killing them all." ”

"Yuan Shang, this guy!" Yuan Tan gritted his teeth for a moment, and finally had nothing to do, so he had to ask Xin Comment, "Our army is newly defeated, morale is frustrated, and the morale of the rebels is strong, I am afraid that there is no chance of winning if we fight hard, if we hold it for a long time, there is not much food and grass in Pingyu City, what should we do now?" ”

Xin commented: "Now that the matter is now, I can only ask others for help. ”

"Asking for help?" Yuan Tan suddenly realized, "Yes, I almost forgot to ask Liang Gong for help!" Duke Liang and his father are allies, and they should support Lone to inherit the unification, as long as Lone writes a letter to explain the conspiracy of Yuan Shang's usurpation, Duke Liang will definitely send troops to uphold justice, hum, with the response of the Liang army, how can Lone still be afraid of Yuan Shang'er! ”

"My lord." Xin commented, "Liang Gong is far away in Xichuan, and I'm afraid it's too late to ask him for help." ”

Yuan Tan said: "Why do you need to ask Liang Gong for help, Luoyang, no, isn't there thousands of Xiliang Iron Riders stationed on the Tiger Prison Pass and the Bishui Pass?" ”

Xin Ping smiled bitterly: "My lord, if you don't have the permission of Duke Liang, how can the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who stayed in Luoyang, Tiger Prison, and Bishui Pass dare to send troops without authorization?" If we wait until Liang Gong knows the news and then send troops from Luoyang to rescue, it will be at least a few months later, and my army is afraid that it will be difficult to hold out until that time. ”

Yuan Tan said in a panic: "Then what should I do?" ”

Xin Ping said in a deep voice: "There is no good way to do it now, so I can only ask Wu Jun for help nearby." ”
