Chapter 106: Zhang Liao makes a move
“…… My brother was caught in the ...... of thieves in order to save me."
In the tent, because Cai Wenji asked about Zhao Xue's sadness, Zhao Xue did not hide it, and told her about her brother Zhao Yun's death before and after. When Cai Wenji heard this, she stretched out her hand, gently grabbed Zhao Xue's little hand, and gently pressed her thumb in her palm to comfort her. Zhao Xue was a little more relieved after crying, so she grabbed Cai Wenji's pair of soft wattles, stared at the long piano placed on the wooden table, and asked her: "Speaking of which, this is the second time I've heard the sound of your piano sister, but I don't know why every time I hear it, I always feel weird, and I always can't help but think of those sad and sad pasts." It's your sister, you said before, saying that you also have sad things, but I don't know what your sad things are, sister......"
"Hey......"
Cai Wenji rolled her eyes faintly and sighed softly: "Speaking of this...... I want to ask my sister first, I don't know if you heard that Cai Zuozhonglang will die? ”
"General Cai Zuozhonglang?"
Although Zhao Xue has not been in Chang'an for a long time, some major events that have happened in Chang'an have already been spread throughout Lu Xiang, and she has heard about it. Regarding Cai Zuozhonglang's person, because she said that she was an official with a surname, she didn't turn a corner for a while, so naturally she couldn't remember it for a while. But she only had to think about it carefully, and then she could understand: "The 'Cai Zuozhong Lang General' that my sister asked is Lord Cai Yong Cai?" ”
"Hmm."
When Cai Wenji heard this, she bowed slightly, and her expression was gloomy.
"So my sister is talking about him!"
For Cai Yong's death, Chang'an Shishu was a sensation, and even some Confucian scholars wept when they heard it, and sighed: "Cai Bojiao's death, the history of the Han Dynasty cannot be continued, who can be right!" Zhao Xue also heard this in Chang'an those days, although he didn't know him, but judging from the attitude of Shishu, the sensation caused by Cai Yong's death was probably not less than Dong Zhuo. Of course, Dong Zhuo's death was celebrated in the streets and alleys of Chang'an Shishu, and even Dong Zhuo's body was divided, its fat was chiseled, and the lamp grass was used as a guide to burn it for illumination. However, Cai Yong's death, because he died unjustly, Shishu couldn't help but sigh like rain, and Gai Mo could not compare.
Zhao Xue blinked an eye and said: "I heard that when Dong Zhuo was alive, Lord Cai had Dong Zhuo's trust, and he moved a small move in three days and a big move in ten days. Thinking about it, it is no wonder that after Dong Zhuo's death, Lord Cai sighed when he heard it in Wang Situ's mansion. However, it was precisely because of this incident that Wang Situ was convicted...... Ahh
When Zhao Xue said this, from Cai Wenji's pair of soft wits, she clearly felt that the other party's body trembled slightly. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, when I heard it, Cai Wenji moved her index finger, as if she was going to use her fingers to chisel through Zhao Xue's palm, and there was a pain in Zhao Xue's palm.
Zhao Xue saw that her expression changed suddenly, and before she understood for a while, she suddenly stared at her and asked, "Then from the perspective of Zhao Xue's sister, Cai Zuozhonglang deserves to die for him?" ”
Zhao Xue instinctively shook her head and said, "Otherwise! How is it different from a dog without grace? Thinking about it, although Dong Zhuo is a heinous thief, after all, he has been kind to Lord Cai, no matter how you say that their relationship can't escape. If Lord Cai heard about Dong Zhuo's death and pretended to be dumb, he might only be able to admire him for knowing the truth of protecting his life. However, he can sigh spontaneously, he is really a great man, a true hero, which shows that he is bright and upright, and he doesn't know how many times better than those cunning people who tend to be inflammatory! ”
As soon as Zhao Xue said this, she immediately felt that the pair of soft palms in her hands were nervous and uneasy, and finally relaxed. When she said this, she couldn't help but glance at Cai Wenji suspiciously, and from her eyes, she suddenly understood, and she added her forehead with her hand: "Lord Cai Yong's surname is Cai, and sister, your surname is also Cai, so to speak...... Could it be ......"
Cai Wenji nodded and said, "That's right, Cai Zuozhonglang will be my father!" I am her only beloved daughter, Cai Wenji! ”
"This ......"
In addition to being shocked or shocked, Zhao Xue was stunned for a moment, then pinched Cai Wenji's little hand and said: "Sister, I finally understand that every time I hear my sister's piano sound, there is always a sense of grievance from it, which makes people sad, it turns out that my sister ...... Hey, sister, please mourn~~"
Cai Wenji nodded slightly, and her expression darkened again. Originally, she was a lively girl, not only outstanding in literature, but also a good piano, which was very appreciated by her father Cai Yong, and often praised her with two sentences. And she will also take this opportunity to sprinkle a coquettish in Cai Yong's arms, teasing her father, and making her father happy. However, because of her father's death, she washed her face with tears all day long, and stroked the piano to express her grief. And she was originally as cheerful as her, but she was also dyed with 'sad eyebrows', and the sound of the piano also brought out a lot of resentment. It's just that although she has been depressed, her original temperament has not changed, that is, when Zhao Xue suddenly appeared in front of her in Yi Hai's makeup, she could also provoke her curiosity to tease her. It's just that the trick is a joke, but for her father's grief, it is a bowing figure, and she can't complain that her color changed when she mentioned her father.
Of course, Zhao Xue understood her mood, and she also knew that her index finger was chiseled in the palm of her hand just now, but it was just because of her father. She thought of something at this time, and immediately asked, "But sister, since Uncle Cai's death, why are you here, sister, and why are you being ...... Captured by those Huns? Could it be that after Uncle Cai's death, Wang Situ still didn't let go of his sister? ”
Cai Yong sighed lightly and said, "It's not true, but it's about the same." After all, the death of my father, the cause of death is Dong Zhuo, although many people have shouted for my father after this incident, but there are always some people who do not understand the reason and are bewitched by villains, and it is inevitable to say some gossip. And I, since my father's death, Caifu was cold, and I felt that it was not interesting to stay any longer, but only to increase my troubles, so I decided to temporarily return to Chenliu's hometown to avoid trouble. Moreover, the situation in Chang'an has changed greatly because of Dong Zhuo's death, although the first evil is ambushed, but in my guess, this matter is just the beginning, and the situation in Chang'an will only be more chaotic in the future. ”
"Speaking of Sister Zhao Xue, you may not believe it for a while, thinking that I am alarmist. In fact, in my opinion, although Wang Situ is a self-proclaimed gentleman, he also controls the power of Chang'an, and Chang'an should be a big deal with reason. However, he is pedantic, don't look at his small scheming in his belly, but he is a person who does not know how to be flexible and cannot control the overall situation. If he continues to work like this, the wind and thunder in Chang'an will change sooner or later. How? Although I think about Dong Zhuo's matter, there are many Xiliang soldiers who have not been appeased, but I am afraid that these Xiliang people are the cause of the wind and thunder. ”
"There is a way that the son of a daughter can't sit down, and Chang'an is about to break out, so I naturally have to make plans early. And I, although I could expect that day, I went to talk about it as a little woman, but I was afraid that no one would be willing to listen. What's more, the influence of my father's affairs is still there, so naturally no one will believe it, but I am afraid that they will think that I am alarmist and treat me as a demon girl. It is precisely because I understand this and know that Chang'an can no longer stay, so I have no choice but to temporarily go to Chang'an to avoid trouble, and prepare to stay in Chen Liu's hometown for a while, and then watch the general trend of the world. It's just that what I didn't expect was that I was not far out of Chang'an, but I was captured by the Huns halfway through, and almost lost my life at the hands of thieves. I think if it weren't for the appearance of Sister Xue at the right time, I was afraid that ......"
Regarding the analysis of the situation in Chang'an, Zhao Xue also admired Cai Wenji's carefulness. Now she finally knows from Cai Wenji's mouth that she dared to love her for a good Chang'an, but she took the risk to get out of the customs, it turned out to be because of this reason. But this matter is also very dangerous, think about it, Cai Wenji was captured that night, if it wasn't for her joining forces with Xiliang Pound, she suddenly killed, took the Huns' camp, and rescued her, I'm afraid that Cai Wenji would have been captured by the Huns at this moment.
However, thinking of the situation of rushing to kill and save people that night, Zhao Xue still didn't understand a little, and couldn't help but ask her: "By the way, when I waited for the killing that night, sister, you probably heard the movement of the Hun camp being kicked at that time, but why were you still unmoved at that time, sister, and you still had a murderous look on your face, this is ......?"
Cai Wenji glanced at her faintly, and then said: "You mean to say that I was captured by the Huns at the time, why didn't I sleep well in the middle of the night, and deliberately waved the strings, right?" In fact, I waved the strings because I hated the Huns. I hate that they didn't just kill me! I hated that when they caught me, they muttered in private that I was ...... I am beautiful, and I want to prepare to escort me to the royal court and dedicate it to their Lord Shan Yu! I hate ...... I hate waving the piano in the middle of the night, why has I never been able to arouse the evil intentions of those Huns, so that they can simply kill me with a knife! I hate ......."
Her hatred was not finished, Zhao Xue had already answered: "Your hatred is true, but the sound of the piano at night is clearly sad, this is probably, probably because my sister hates to be born at the wrong time, why does my father hate to be connected, and I feel sorry for my father's death?" You don't say it, in fact, I can feel it from my sister's piano sound that night. ”
"Sister Snow!"
Cai Wenji clenched Zhao Xue's little hand, unconsciously buried her head in her shoulder, and cried with joy. She was glad to have such a 'sister' who understood her, and she cried that her father could never come back alive.
Zhao Xue, holding Cai Wenji in her hands, gently patted her shoulder, and looked at the top of the tent with her eyes. It has always been others who are comforting her, so why did she need to comfort others? She was wronged, and her brother Zhao Yun stood up for her, and after her brother died, there was Chen Nuo's eldest brother. He would shave her nose and stroke her hair. And every now and then, nothing is gone.
My brother is not here, and Chen Nuo hasn't seen her for a long time, so she suddenly misses them so much.
"Snow Sister...... Why are you crying again? Hey, you little Laipi, you were coaxing me just now, and now you want me to coax you again. Cai Wenji said, reached out to wipe the eyeballs on Zhao Xue's face, hugged her with her backhand, and leaned her on her shoulder.
"Sister Xue, don't cry, don't cry!"
“……”
……………………
Not long after Zhao Xue and his entourage went to Shaanxi County with Li Su, Lu Bu also escorted Dong Zhuo's family from Hewu back to Chang'an. Regarding Wang Yun's dispatch of Li Su to Shaanxi County, Lu Bu didn't say anything when he saw Wang Yun, but in fact, he had already scolded Wang Yun eight hundred times in his heart.
As for how to deal with the Xiliang generals, he strongly advocated 'recruiting peace', after all, if he wants to succeed, he really has to rely on this group of Xiliang soldiers. Therefore, on the way to confiscate Yiwu, what he could buy was to buy as much as possible, and for those who were disobedient like Fan Chou, he resorted to force. Originally, because Wang Yun had been unresolved for a long time on the treatment of the Xiliang people, he couldn't come up with an idea for a while, so he thought that he would probably wait for him to come back from Hewu, and then put forward his opinion to Wang Yun, so that he could listen to his 'Zhao'an' opinion, and then he would automatically ask for an order to go to the area of Shaanxi County to appease him. It's not that it's not so, it's not enough to take the opportunity to buy Xiliang people for their own use.
However, what made him dumbfounded was that before he returned to Chang'an, Wang Yun suddenly made a decision and handed over the matter to Li Su to deal with. When he heard it at the time, it was gritting his teeth, and he was furious at Wang Yun's ignorance of him, and he almost turned his face. Afterwards, he thought about it carefully, and thought of the 'positive envoy' Li Su, and hated him again. Thinking about it, he also said before why Li Su was in a hurry to return to Chang'an, it turned out that he was going to rob him of this credit!
Afterwards, Lu Bu pondered left and right, and he was really embarrassed, so he could get this evil breath out of it. It's just that for Wang Yun, who made a decision on this matter, because he had made great contributions in punishing Dong Zhuo, there was no way to deal with him for a while. However, speaking of the other person, Li Su, fortunately, he is only a small cavalry lieutenant under his eyes, and he is still nominally his subordinate, so it is not too difficult to deal with him. Although they have a friendship with fellow villagers, however, he does not take it to heart.
He had a plan, so he immediately took his sword, went out of the mansion, stepped over the Chitu BMW, and ran to the front army camp.
"Where is Zhang Liao?"
"Where is Zhang Liao?"
As soon as he entered the camp, he went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, and before he could enter, he exhaled from afar. In the tent, Zhang Liao, a man from Yanmen, who rode the capital captain, lifted the tent and left, and saw that it was Lu Bu who came, and immediately bowed to him. Originally, Zhang Liao and his people were first in Ding Yuan's department, and after Ding Yuan was killed, he belonged to Dong Zhuo with soldiers. And after Dong Zhuo's death, he also subordinated his soldiers to Lu Bu. He was still in the big tent to discuss with the generals, when he suddenly heard someone calling, and he walked out of the tent. Only he, seeing that Lu Bu was coming in a hurry, and his face was cold, he didn't know what was going on, so he could only worship himself. And Lu Bu, when he saw Zhang Liao, stretched out his hand, held his arms, and shouted, "Wen Yuan is not welcome!" I'm here...... Speak in the account! ”
Zhang Liao nodded and respectfully invited Lu Bu into the tent, and the generals in the tent saw that Wen Hou was coming, and they all bowed one after another. Lu Bu waved his hand and let them all go down, only then did he turn around and press his sword and ask Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, do you know where Li Su is?" ”
Zhang Liao was slightly stunned, there is no reason why he doesn't know about this matter? Even so, he could only say carefully: "Wen Hou! Li Su and Li Duwei had taken the edict of the Son of Heaven a few days ago and went to Shaanxi County to be ordered to relieve the Xiliang people and other soldiers and horses, but at this moment, I am afraid that they are about to arrive in Zheng County, right? ”
Lu Bu nodded: "So from the perspective of Wen Yuan, how successful is Li Su's going?" Can the generals of Xiliang obey the orders of the Son of Heaven and obediently disband the soldiers and horses? ”
"Well, why did Lu Bu ask that?"
Zhang Liao had this doubt in his heart, and it was inconvenient to say it, so he just arched his hand and said: "With Liaodu, the generals of Xiliang have always been afraid of the Kwantung soldiers, and once the soldiers and horses are disbanded, they will also be uneasy. But then ......"
From Zhang Liao's point of view, although this matter is not easy to do, he believes that with the power of the Son of Heaven, the Xiliang soldiers have no way out, and if there are no other accidents, this matter will probably be able to be done in the end. However, Lu Bu didn't want to hear this, so he immediately interrupted him, and then said, "Okay, it seems that Wen Yuan, you also have the same idea as General Ben!" Well, this matter is related to the imperial court, in order to ensure the smoothness, it seems that the only trouble is for you to lead hundreds of wolves to Shaanxi County for a trip......"
"Huh?"
Zhang Liao was slightly stunned, frowned, and said, "What does Wen Hou mean...... The imperial court has made another will? ”
Lu Bu shook his head and said, "No!" ”
"Yet?"
Zhang Liao was still puzzled, so he saw Lu Bu take two steps forward and whispered to him: "This matter is very important, this general is afraid that Li Su will not be able to support it alone, and if Niu Fu of Shaanxi County does not listen to the persuasion and fights, it will be difficult to clean up." I let Wen Yuan go to you, just to ask Wen Yuan to see the opportunity to act, Wen Yuan, you just need to do this...... Have you ever understood? ”
Zhang Liao was a little hesitant when Lu Bu said this, his face moved, and he said, "Is this not okay?" Wang Situ had the intention of not forgiving the people of Xiliang, and the will came down. And Wen Hou, if you act like this, I am afraid that Wang Situ will not be able to say it in the future. ”
Lu Bu smiled, patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder, and said, "Wen Yuan, you say, how does General Ben treat you?" As soon as Dong Zhuo's thief died, the general asked Wang Situ for his will, forgave Wen Yuan's crime of rebellion, and crowned you as a cavalry captain. Moreover, after the incident, General Ben still handed over the elite wolf cavalry of the state to Wenyuan with you. Wenyuan, have you ever understood my good intentions? ”
Although the tone in Lu Bu's mouth was as usual, the big slap hand on Zhang Liao's shoulder, Zhang Liao obviously felt the strength. It's the power of anger, and if you're not careful, it can trigger at any time. Zhang Liao is not afraid of death, but when it comes to Lu Bu's intercession for him, there is no excuse, so he can't deny it. And he, now that he is subordinate to Lu Bu, it is really hard to say much about everything that is respected by Lu Bu. Zhang Liao thought of this, and before he was angry, he immediately straightened his body and arched his hand: "Wen Hou rest assured, leave this matter to the last general!" ”
"Good!"
Lu Bu smiled and immediately added: "Of course, once this matter is done, it is indeed a bit disobedient to Wang Situ. However, in this troubled time, it is the 'power', the absolute power! As long as he has 'power', what does it matter if he knows about it afterwards? What can he do to General Ben other than complain a few words? Wenyuan, don't worry, you can do this thing, I will take care of it, this matter will be done, you should remember Wenyuan, you have a great achievement! ”
"Xie Wenhou!"
Zhang Liao clenched his fists, and then asked, "So, when will Liao Dang leave?" ”
Lu Bu looked at him, took away the palm that was on his shoulder, and said, "Of course, the sooner the better!" ”
"Understood!"
As soon as Zhang Liao received the order, Lu Bu immediately raised his head and laughed, very satisfied. However, at this time, a soldier found Zhang Liao's tent and wanted to find Lu Bu. Lu Bu's heart moved, what was it that made the soldiers come from afar? He came out of the account from Zhang Liao's side, and then asked the personal soldier to come and speak. The soldiers whispered a few words to Lu Bu, and when Lu Bu heard it, his whole face suddenly collapsed.
"Diao? Diao Chan went to Wang Situ's mansion? ”
Lu Bu pressed the sword, his brows trembled slightly, and he hurriedly walked away.
