Chapter 1: Thirteen Years

Compared to the other streets, the street in the east of the city is a little quieter, after all, it is mostly the residences of important officials of the court. Moreover. Cao Cao's mansion is also here

As early as after Chibi, Cao Cao, who only longed for the expedition to the west in the past, had secretly had the ambition to win the throne of the Son of Heaven, which can be said to be known to both the court and the Chinese government, at that time. "Cao Chen. Bullet crown celebrates, "Hanchen." sighed secretly, however, Cao Cao did not usurp the throne after all"

After the rain, there is a slight mist.

"Ah sneeze" A Cao Cao soldier guarding outside Cao's mansion couldn't help but sneeze and said in a low voice. "This ghost weather, how to use troops against Dongwu?"

"Silence!" With a cough, a man was walking out of the house.

"Commander of the King!" A cadre of soldiers hugged their fists and called. "Hmm" nodded, and the king was about to say something, but he heard a slight footstep, and looked intently, as if someone was slowly approaching.

"Rustle

Suddenly, a cadre of Cao Cao's personal soldiers guarding outside the mansion came up and looked a little cautious. However, when they saw the man approaching, the cautiousness and doubts in the eyes of the soldiers disappeared.

"Huh." Smiled and stepped forward. Commander Wang clasped his fists and said, "The last general has seen Jiang Gongzi"

The "Commander Wang" smiled faintly and bowed.

"Commander, you have to call the great talent of the long history!" A group of soldiers behind him said with a grin.

I saw that the leader of the king was slightly embarrassed. Looking back and scolding, "Shut up! As he spoke, he smiled at the visitor. Ahem, Childe is visiting Cao Gong? ”

"Hehe" uh, exactly" the visitor smiled and nodded, and said politely, "Can you report it for me?" ”

"This," Commander Wang was obviously a little surprised, looked at the man and said strangely, "Childe, Duke Cao has spoken many times, if Childe comes, there is no need to report it, although"

"How can that be?" I saw the man wave his hand, smile and say, "Etiquette must not be abolished,"

"This" The king commander hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Cao Cao's personal soldiers behind him and said, "Don't go and report to Cao Gong quickly, and ask for a meeting with Gongzi Yanjiang!" ”

"Yes!" When even one of the soldiers clenched his fists. Pedal and ran into the house.

Only then did the leader of the king turn around and look at the one in front of him,

I saw the person standing with his hands in his hands, with a crown on his head. Wearing a light blue pigment suit, his face is handsome, his eyes are warm as jade, and his words and deeds show everyone's demeanor. In the middle of the comparison, the king commander, who was nearly forty years old, couldn't help but think of a human figure......

"Childe,"

"Huh?"

"Well, nothing to do,"

"Huh!"

In less than half an hour, the Cao soldier came back, clasped his fists and said, "Childe, Cao Gong is invited!" ”

"Thank you!"

Looking at the Confucian arched his hand, he slowly walked into the house. The king muttered.

"Resembling his father,"

"What resemblance?" With a question, he came. But there was a man dressed as a general, and he was slowly walking up the steps.

I saw that all the soldiers outside the mansion had straight faces, and clenched their fists and called, "General Xu! ”

The person who came was Cao Cao's confidant, and there was no doubt about it. Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang!

"Hmm," Xu Chu nodded in response. Standing at the door, he looked at the house suspiciously, and turned around and asked. "Can anyone enter the house?"

"General Qiyu, it's Gongzi Jiang!"

"Jiang Gongzi?" Xu Chu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then his eyes widened, his face turned red, and he asked with great interest, "Which Jiang Gongzi?" ”

I saw that Commander Wang had a strange face, and said hesitantly, "Naturally, it is the eldest son of Situ Gong, the son of Jiang Kun."

"Oh" Immediately, Xu Chu's interest completely dissipated, and he said with a disturbing head, "He, I thought it was deleted"

"Who is the general?" The king asked, wondering.

"Don't you know?" Xu Chu smiled. Looking around, the soldiers said, "The lord has ordered Jiang Rui's kid to return to Xudu, hehe" I heard Zixiao and Yuan Rang say that this kid studied under Zilong. I have learned a lot of martial arts, and even Zihe is not an opponent, and General Ben has a little itchy hands,"

Shame..."

And while Xu Chu was talking and laughing with Cao Bing outside the house. The man. Ah no, it's Jiang Kun, who has slowly walked to the door of Cao Cao's study,

It seemed that he heard the sound of footsteps, and before the soldiers outside the study could shout the news, he heard a chuckle from inside the study.

"Zixu, come in!"

"Yes" Jiang Kun slowly walked into the study and bowed to the man behind the desk, "Meet Cao Gong!" ”

I saw Cao Cao, who was writing a book behind the desk, raised his head, looked at Jiang Wei and said helplessly, "Gu said many times, "Cao Gong, this title is set up for others, not for Gu Xian's son-in-law, you, you."

Jiang Sheng arched his hand and said with a smile, "The ancients said, etiquette cannot be abolished!" ”

"Okay, okay" waved his hand helplessly, Cao Cao said with a smile, "Come here, Zixu, how about taking a look at this article?" ”

When Jiang Kun heard this, he stepped forward. looked at the article on the case and groaned softly.

"Turtle Though Shou?"

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded a little smugly. Reached out and took a sip of the tea cup on the table.

Picking up the paper, Jiang Sheng took a rough look, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he whispered, "Although the turtle is long." There is still a time to do it. Teng snake ride the fog, and eventually turn into ashes. The old man is suddenly ambushed, and Yang Erzhi is thousands of miles away; The twilight of the martyrs. Strong. The period of profit and contraction is not only in the sky; The blessing of recuperation can be eternal. Luckily, even ah. Song Yi Yongzhi "After reading it, he looked at Cao Cao and said, "Cao Gong is"

I saw Cao Cao raise his head, and said with a smile, "Zixu, you are an orphan son-in-law, and you are regarded as a half-son" No, since you were a child, I have regarded you as my own, "Cao Gong, although he seems to be respectful, he has the suspicion of avoiding suspicion. Zixu, this makes the lonely heart cold! ”

"This" hesitated, Jiang Yuan put down the paper, and respectfully called, the son-in-law to meet his father-in-law! ”

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao was satisfied. Lang Lang smiled, patted the table, pointed to the paper and said. "Zixu, what do you think of this article?"

Jiang Kun hesitated for a moment, and said, "According to the son-in-law, Yuezhang is using this poem as a metaphor for himself, looking at the whole article, the atmosphere is awe-inspiring, and the text is in the middle of it. It is even more magnificent, and the text is slightly visible at the end

"Isn't it a little imposing?" Cao Cao laughed to himself. Fu Xu said, "Lone is over sixty years old. It's like the sunset, remembering the southern and northern wars, how that's it, alas! Right now, it's just a late twilight old man chatting about masturbation,"

"Yue-Zhang" muttered, Jiang Yuan thought for a while, and arched his hand and said, "Why should Yue-Zhang's self-humility, according to the little son-in-law's opinion, Yuezhang's pride is not inferior to the beginning," the old banner Fuyang, the ambition is thousands of miles, the martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is strong. ”

"Haha" seems to be the point of being proud of Cao Cao's article, making Cao Cao look complacent, laughing and boasting, "That's right, I, Cao Mengde, don't accept the old man!" Oh, by the way, Sun Quan is capricious, yes, I want to lead the army to fight him, and I want to take care of him. Is Zixu willing to go out with Lone? ”

"Huh?" Jiang Yuan was stunned, his face was stunned and he said with a wry smile, "Sun Quan has always been like this. Yuezhang knows very well why today, "As he spoke, he obviously understood a little.

Sure enough, Cao Cao sighed slightly, shook his head and laughed at himself and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are days, and it is not human, while I Cao Mengde is not old enough to lift the sword and say, Cao Cao raised his head and said with a smile, "The matter of going on the expedition is just a joke, Zixu is not skilled in martial arts, how can I be willing to put you in danger" I have ordered Ziyuan to come to Luoyang and follow me to the expedition to Eastern Wu!" ”

"Second brother?" Jiang Yuan was stunned, obviously a little surprised.

"Hehe" looked at Jiang Wei with surprise on his face. Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled, "It's not a lonely idea. Yuan Jean. Oh. Your uncle Xiahou frequently wrote to him, saying that Ziyuan was a little impatient with him, hehe, too, Ziyuan has always liked to be active and not quiet, and his temperament is very different from yours, how can he stay? Besides, he himself has sent a letter to us, and speaking of which, your two brothers have not seen each other for three or five years, right? ”

"Yes, Uncle Yue," nodded. Jiang Kun suddenly asked, "Dare to ask Uncle Yue, this matter"

As if he had seen through his son-in-law's thoughts, Cao Cao said with a smile, "Half a month ago, estimate." It's time for Ziyuan to arrive, too,"

"So," he said, remembering his brother. Jiang Kun smiled bitterly for a while.

At this time, an announcement came from outside the study.

"Cao Gong, Le Jiang is looking to see you!"

"Call him in!" Cao Cao smiled and said.

Listening only to the sound of footsteps, a young general stepped inside, and was about to salute Cao Cao, when he suddenly saw Jiang Sheng there, his face was stunned, and he winked at him, and Jiang Sheng also smiled in return.

It was not Lejin who came, but Lelin, the son of Lejin. Like Zhang Liao's son Zhang Hu, Le Lin has an excellent relationship with Jiang Rui, and naturally knows Jiang Sheng.

"Excuse me" waved his hand to ask Le Lin to excuse the courtesy, Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Why did you come?" ”

"Oh" Seeing Cao Cao's question, Le Lin's face was straight, and he clenched his fists and said, "Cao Gong, Wuhuan sent a messenger to come, this meeting, has entered the Xu capital, and the last general has placed it in the post station, the envoy said, I want to see Cao Gong."

"Hmm" Cao Cao nodded, closing his eyes and thinking for a moment. Suddenly, he said, "You bring it to the lonely mansion." Lone wants to see what he wants! ”

"Yes!" Lelin clenched her fists and retreated.

Looking back at his son-in-law beside him, Cao Cao said with a smile, "This Wuhuan is like a hidden disease, if you ignore it, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble, according to what your father said, either raise heavy troops and wipe them all out." Either. Assimilate it! "Assimilation?" Jiang Wei was stunned.

"Yes, assimilation" Cao Cao nodded. Fusu recalled, "Teach him etiquette, teach him Chinese, teach him farming, give him a Han surname, give him a Han official, give him a Han lord, and let him live." Give it glory and refute my big man, "Hmph! The last hum was cold.

"Is this my father's plan?" Jiang Yuan asked suspiciously.

"Yes! Your father was a man of great talent. It's a pity that you don't want to be an official, and you leave your two brothers and many official positions without saying a word, alas! Although everyone has their own ambitions. But like your father, I really haven't seen it" According to your father's words, within a few decades, the older generation of Wuhuan will die, and the next generation will admire me for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. This is your father's assimilation policy. Far better than a million elite soldiers! ”

When Jiang Sheng heard this, he arched his hand and said, "My father is talented, Kun might as well be!" ”

"Haha" Cao Cao smiled brightly, got up and patted Jiang Wei on the shoulder, and said seriously, "Why should Zixu be humble, I think you are not inferior to your father, but you are a little inexperienced, this matter." Can't be in a hurry," Cao Cao said, taking a few steps forward. took down the sword hanging on the wall, and suddenly asked strangely, "Zixu, how is Wen Ruo's body lately?" ”

I saw that Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and arched his hand and said, "Back to my father-in-law's words, Master Xun's body is unharmed, but since he resigned, he has a temperament

"Really?" Cao Cao replied lightly. Re-sheathed the drawn sword, Lang smiled and said, "When he waits, Lone will use this sword to take Sun Quan's head!" After a pause, Cao Cao looked back at Jiang Wei's face, and then said jokingly, "Zixu, if you have something to say, in front of Lonely, your father is not as restrained as you!" ”

"Heh" laughed at himself, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but ask after all, "Uncle Yue, forgive my son-in-law for daring to ask, it was rumored that Uncle Yue had ...... Ahem, that

"The Heart of Ninety-Five?" Cao Cao said a word.

"Eh" is" smiled, Jiang Yu said in a low voice. "Why in the end. But did Uncle Yue give up? ”

I saw Cao Cao put down the sword," he said, shaking his head. "At the beginning, Lone Zeng said, "Lone is King Wen of Zhou" but in the end, if you want to say that your father said a word to me,"

"A word?" Jiang Yu was stunned and said strangely. One sentence dispelled the father-in-law, "That."

"yes!" Standing in the house with his hands behind his back, Cao Cao looked at the door of the house, recalled the past and muttered, "Your father said to me, people, always have a strong interest in what you can't get, in fact." The same is true of the throne of the emperor, according to your father, it is just a seat, a title, located in the lonely place, in fact, it has not changed much, and he who has respect for the lonely heart, even if he does not sit on the lonely heart, also has respect for the lonely heart; On the contrary, if you are malicious to Lone's heart, how can you change your concubine's opinion for this? This is done or not, such as lonely generations, there is no difference, and there is more than a few anti-Japanese 08 old Shanxun books

Opening his mouth, Jiang Kun said with a wry smile, "Father's remarks are chic, but the son-in-law understands." So what makes my father-in-law tempted? ”

"Naturally not!" As if thinking of something interesting, Cao Cao smiled and said, "It's your father who played a trick and tricked me.

"Ant"

"That day, Lone asked your father to drink, and after thirty years, when Lone talked about the past embarrassment, your father smiled and said, "If there is no Mengde in the world, when you don't know how" Lone is puzzled, so he said, "If there is no Mengde in the world, you don't know how many people are called kings and how many people are called emperors" "Although the world is criticized." However, Meng De did make a contribution to the society: "You know when your father said this, when did you not?" ”

Jiang Wei shook again in astonishment.

"Hey!" I saw Cao Cao smiling. Weird said, "Netqiao happened after Lone made a decision, and Zhongde was prepared for this!" ”

Jiang Kun looked strange.

That night, I thought deeply, it is true, Lone was already under one person at that time" No, it is under a small name, above ten thousand people, why bother to provoke criticism from the world for a break? It's funny, I, Cao Mengde, a traitor, haven't gotten it yet, he Liu Bei claims to be a descendant of the royal family, but he is the first to claim the emperor, hehe, although it is rumored that Liu Bianli is the master of this matter, but how it is, who can know? Your father has a deep word in my heart, "I think of the will of Mende, not in the honorable position." but under heaven. ”

"Honoring the throne" in the world" Jiang Sheng thought about it carefully and suddenly came to his senses.

"Zixu, the only one who knows my Cao Mengde is your father! This statement is like thunder, so that the lonely wake up" is the reason. This matter is over. Lone also understands. If it weren't for Wenruo, Gongda. Your father will never ask about it. Your father, too, is a "great rebellion." people. Hahaha! ”

"Yue Zhi" Jiang Wei smiled bitterly.

The two were talking, and suddenly a person walked in outside the study. Respectfully called, "Father, Wuhuan sent a messenger here, and he is currently waiting in the guest hall of the house

"Got it!" Cao Cao responded lightly, and then seemed to think of something, and said in a deep voice, "Zihuan, my father is very pleased to hear that you have been studying poetry and classics in the mansion without leaving home recently. It just so happened that your brother's sacrifice day was approaching, and you and Zijian and Cangshu each wrote a prayer for the father to see! ”

"This" child knows! That person, that is, Cao Cao's second son, Cao No, replied in a low voice.

"Hmm" nodded, Cao Cao turned his head and smiled at Jiang Yuan, "Okay, let's go and meet the Wuhuan envoy first!" ”

Jiang Kun arched his hand and said respectfully, "Congratulations to my father-in-law!" ”

"Hehe, no need!" Cao Cao smiled. strode out of the study, leaving only Jiang Yuan and Cao Bu.

Seeing Cao Cao leaving, Cao Bu immediately went to be restrained, looked outside the house and shook his head and said, "Zixu." I don't think I'm hopeful

"Hehe," Jiang Yuan smiled and stepped forward. whispered, "It's man-made!" ”

"Say it lightly," Cao Bu rolled his eyes. Dissatisfied, he said, "Why don't you try to stay in the house all day?" ”

"That's right," Jiang Yuan frowned. Suddenly, he said, "Why don't I say something to Master Xun, and you go together?" ”

Suddenly. Cao Buyi changed his complexion, waved his hand again and again and said, "Don't! In my own house, I can still be lazy, if I am," he said as if he had lost his words and smiled.

Shaking his head helplessly, Jiang Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice. "Zihuan, my father-in-law asked each of your three brothers to write a prayer, I think there is something strange in it, you think about it carefully, so you can use the words carefully."

"This" I saw Cao Bu's face collapse, and said with a wry smile, "You said it so lightly, even if I calm down, how can I compare to Zijian and Cangshu?" Zijian's knowledge is far above me, not to mention Cang Shu, and there is your cousin Zhou Budo beside him. His intelligence is not as good as Cangshu, Zixu, why don't you write one for me? ”

"How does this work?" Jiang Yu frowned. shook his head again and again and said, "This matter is not possible, if the father-in-law sees a flaw, I'm afraid."

"Alas!" Sighing, Cao Bu suddenly asked, "Oh, by the way, Zixu, how did you come here today?" ”

"Yikes!" Hearing that Cao Bu asked, Jiang Yuan's face immediately changed, and he said urgently, "Oh no, I didn't even mention it to my father-in-law!" ”

"Huh? What's the matter? ”

I saw Jiang Yuan smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "I came here today to ask Xian'er if you are happy." That's why I came to report the good news to my father-in-law, but I never thought about it

"Is that so?" Cao Bu was stunned. Hurriedly said, "Hurry up, take me to have a look!" ”

"What's there to see?" Jiang Yuan looked helpless, but was pulled out of the study by Cao Bu.

While talking and laughing, the two of them walked and walked, and a person suddenly appeared around the corner. Cao Bu couldn't help it. Hit it headfirst. "You damn it," scolded in a low voice, Cao Bu rubbing his left shoulder that had been hit, but waiting for him to raise his eyes. But his complexion changed drastically.

I saw that the man glanced at Cao Bu with a sneer, and said lightly, "I accidentally bumped into the second son for a while." I'm really sorry, I don't know what is wrong with the second son, it's better to call it below."

"No need, no need" interrupted the words of the visitor, and Cao Bu seemed to have some fear in his eyes. I couldn't help but take a half step back.

"Ziyuan!" Jiang Yuan frowned and shouted. "How can you be so rude?"

The person who came was Jiang Yuan's brother, Jiang Rui!

"Okay, okay, I just didn't see it. I didn't hit it on purpose" Seeing that his brother was angry, Jiang Rui hugged his fists and said casually. "I'm sorry, Zihuan, I didn't hurt you, did you?"

"It's not hurt, it's not hurt" Cao Bu waved his hand again and again, but he heard Jiang Sheng next to him ask, "Ziyuan, when did you arrive in Xu Du?" ”

"Just now" Jiang Rui shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile. "I heard that Uncle Cao Shi intended to march south and ordered me to be the vanguard, and the younger brother rushed to Xudu non-stop. Oh. By the way, Uncle Cao Shi can be in the house? ”

"I'm meeting the Wuhuan Envoy in the lobby!" Jiang Kun said.

"Oh?" Jiang Rui was suddenly interested. He smiled and said, "I'll go and see, brother will take his leave." After saying goodbye to Uncle Cao Shi, I will return to the house to meet my brother and sister-in-law! As he spoke, he strode forward.

"Don't make trouble!" Jiang Wei frowned and said. However, he will also be sneering at tomorrow's 08 books

Looking at Jiang Gao walking away, Cao Bu let out a long breath, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Gotcha!" Your younger brother has been in the army for a long time, and he has a lot of prestige, and since he has come to Xudu, Zijian is even more powerful."

"Heh" saw Jiang Wei smile and said, "It's true that Ziyuan is good at martial arts. However, now it is not a competition, why should Zihuan be afraid? ”

"How can you not be afraid?" Looking at the distant back, Cao Bu subconsciously touched his chin, seeing this, Jiang Yuan could only smile bitterly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about the rest of the things, go to the study in my house, you write a prayer, and I will comment on it."

"It's still Zixu interesting!" Cao Bu smiled. Then he seemed to remember something, and asked suspiciously. "By the way, Zixu, recently, haven't you found out about Uncle Jiang Shi's whereabouts?"

Hearing that Cao didn't mention this, Jiang Wei shook his head. sighed and said, "Uncle Xiahou in Qingzhou sent a letter not long ago, saying that Qingzhou was read by him. I haven't found my father's whereabouts, I guess my father is not in Qingzhou, two days ago I wrote a trustee to send it to Bingzhou, and asked Uncle Zhang to look for it on his behalf, and I don't know how

Seeing that his best friend had a downturned face, Cao Bu secretly blamed himself, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "Zixu doesn't have to worry too much, who is Uncle Jiang?" At the beginning, my father sent 30,000 elite soldiers and never chased Uncle Jiang, this matter, I can't be in a hurry, in my opinion, since Uncle Jiang is taking all the aunts out to play, there is no one. In three or five years, I'm afraid I won't come back, and if I want to go out again, it won't be so easy

As if he understood the meaning of Cao Bu's words, Jiang Yuan shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Maybe so."

Leaving Cao's Mansion, the two walked to Situ Jiang Mansion opposite the mansion,

Although Jiang Zhe has already resigned now, whether it is a courtier or a common person, he is not used to calling it Jiangfu, but is accustomed to Situ Jiangfu.

Casually glancing at the soldiers guarding outside Situ's mansion, Cao Bu's eyes lit up, and while walking into the mansion with Jiang Yuan, he said suspiciously, "Zixu." I have been here for more than a year, and I have come to your house a lot of times. These soldiers seem to be a little untouched,"

As if he had seen through Cao Bu's thoughts, Jiang Sheng Yeyu said, "I know what you think, that's good." This is my father's elite personal soldiers, trapped in the camp! After his father's resignation, his cousin took up the post of Nanyang Taishou, and his hands were insufficient, so he issued a book to borrow this army, and two months ago, his cousin had trained a new army. Thinking about himself can block Jingzhou Guan Yu. At the same time, the trapped camp is in urgent need of reorganization. Therefore, this army was sent back to Xu Du to delete"

"Oh" Cao Bu suddenly realized, couldn't help but look back at the door, patted his chest and masturbated. "God is pitiful, my Cao Zihuan finally has a force that can be had, and I am not afraid of your brother Tiger and Leopard Ride!" As he spoke, he turned his head and said with a smile. "Zixu, when the hunting period comes, borrow me a hundred people to fall into the camp, I am thinking, I will hunt a fierce beast this year, and present it to my father!"

Shaking his head amusedly, Jiang Sheng Ye Yu said, "If that's the case, it's not your ability!" Like you, if Ziyuan led a hundred tigers and leopards to ride forward. What should I do? The courage of the tiger and leopard to ride, although the three of them can also fight the tiger, and also the cavalry, how can it be compared

"Yes!" Cao Bu shook his head with a wry smile and said. "It's strange to say, my father likes you to be far above me, I know about this, Ran Ziyuan's kid has frequent troubles, and his father also likes him, and ordered him to be the leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry, strange! Weird! ”

Jiang Sheng smiled slightly when he heard this, and suddenly saw an old man standing by the pool in the outer courtyard from a distance, with a straight face. stepped forward and bowed, "Uncle Jia!" ”

I saw that the old man turned his head, and it was one of the most trusted advisors under Jiang Zhe's account at the beginning, Jia Xu!

Seeing that it was Jiang Sheng, Jia Xu threw the bait in his hand into the pool, and said with a smile, "How can this be called old decay?" He still accepted Jiang Kun's worship, and he was very calm.

"Uncle Jia said and laughed" smiled slightly, Jiang Yuan said respectfully, "Uncle Jia is a famous man in the world, and my father asked me to be a boy who respects my uncle, how dare I offend?" ”

"Teachable!" Jia Xu nodded with great satisfaction, and suddenly saw Cao Bu beside Jiang Kun, his eyes were sharp, and he looked at Cao Bu with those eyes as sharp as a falcon, and then smiled and said, "The old man has seen Cao Gongzi!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare" Cao Bu seemed to know the details of the old man in front of him, and hurriedly jumped aside. Wave your hand again and again. "When did Uncle Jia arrive in Xudu?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Not long after entering the mansion" glanced up and down at Cao No, Jia Xu paid attention to Jiang Sheng. smiled and said, "Your disciple Yuan is not as stable as you, alas, all these years, but I have been tired of my old bones, God is pitiful, and I finally survived until I returned to Xu Du "Hehe! And besides. The old man also misses these pond fish a lot" said, Jia Xu blinked, and Ye Yu said, "When the old man is not there, can Zixu have a good life to take care of?" ”

"That's it!" Jiang Yuan said respectfully.

"Okay" nodded, Jia Xu glanced at Cao No, suddenly looked at the pond, raised his hand and said, "Zixu, look at the fish in this pool, they don't take food, they are all old and self-stocked, like a family"

"Is that so?" Jiang Wei stepped forward suspiciously, looked at the pond, his face was stunned, he looked up at Jia Xu, suddenly came to his senses, hesitated, and said with a smile, "If this is the case" and do not disturb Uncle Jia's interest, I will retreat first

"Go ahead!" Jia Xu didn't look back, smiling and waving his hand.

I felt that Jia Xu had something to say, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly, Jiang Sheng understood, and after he persuaded Cao Bu to place him in the study, and returned to the pool, sure enough, Jia Xu was still standing here,

"Jia Xi..."

"Hehe" turned his head with a smile, Jia Xu said with a smile, "Quick-thinking, not bad!" After a little praise, Jia Xu's smile gradually faded. said in a deep voice, "Zixu, do you know the deep meaning of what Uncle Fangcai said?" ”

"This" saw Jiang Wei hesitate slightly. He said, "It's not thorough, I hope Uncle wants to solve my doubts."

"You kid, you have to be an uncle" or not" shook his head with a wry smile, and Jia Xu said with a straight face. "Your father resigned, leaving your two brothers in Xudu, the Jiang family's prosperity and decline are in your two brothers, not others! Uncle Wei just wants to say, the Cao family's affairs are not the Jiang family's affairs, why meddle? If the wind makes you and other brothers disagree, won't it make Situ Gong feel cold. "This" Jiang Yan hesitated, clenched his fists and said, "Back to Uncle Jia's words, the little nephew has known Zihuan since he was a child, and he knows that he has great ambitions."

"Say a word to your brother!" Interrupting Jiang Kun's words, Jia Xu shook his head and said with a slight sigh, "No matter what, your father and I have met Mao En, and entrusted you two to me, I can't stand by my side..."

"What does Uncle Jia mean?"

"Don't be mistaken, in this matter, Uncle Jia, I don't want to help you, or Ziyuan Zixu. You are older than Ziyuan. and steady, over time, if you accidentally have a conflict with Ziyuan, "Ziyuan is arrogant, and he stayed in the army when he was young, and his temperament is more impulsive and irritable. ”

"It's the little nephew who remembers!" Nodding, Jiang Sheng seemed to think of something and looked up at Jia Xu.

As if he had seen through what Jiang Sheng was thinking, Jia Xu smiled and said, "Don't speculate!" When the old man saw Cao Gong's edict, he knew that there was something strange about it, Ziyuan was only a lieutenant at the moment, and he only had three thousand tigers and leopards in his hands, how could Cao Gong really want to take him to the south? Cao Gong is over sixty years old now, but he is a little anxious, "At the same time, Cao Gong also wants to see how many catties and taels you have waiting for these boys!" ”

"Hey, what Uncle Jia means,"

"Don't think that Cao Gong doesn't know, he understands it very well in his heart! It has always been taboo for subordinates not to interfere in the affairs of the emperor's concubines! But when it comes to your two brothers, there are some, hehe, according to the old decay, one is that your father has helped him fight in the south and the north for many years, and the merit is in the community, and the second is that Cao Gong has high hopes for your two brothers, as for these three, it is because you are young! ”

"Young?"

"That's right," nodded and Jia Xu explained, "If you were someone else and would be imprisoned early, how could you be like your two brothers?" Come and go freely in Caofu? I think of Cao Gong. In addition to making the decision in your heart, you are also honing the two of you,,

The position of Situ in the middle of the court has been vacant for several years, and Cao Gong turned a blind eye, but he named you Situ Changshi, he is emulating the prince of Situ back then! At the same time, he gave the tiger and leopard ride to your disciple Yuan, and asked him to quell the chaos under Xiahou Yuan's tent, hey! A mere lieutenant, in charge of 3,000 elites? Is this the case in the world? How is this not a grind?!

So, you don't have to worry, just let it go! The more outstanding your two brothers are, the more happy Cao Gong is, of course, only including your two brothers. Even your cousin Zhou Budo is not among them! ”

"I don't want my father-in-law to be like this," Jiang Kun laughed at himself.

"Zixu, don't be too talkative. Uncle Wei still has a word, and the wind is rumored outside, the Jiang family. is half of the Cao family" may be the case now. However, Uncle Wei wants to say that the Jiang family is not the Cao family, your two brothers are the foundation of the Jiang family, and the prosperity of the Jiang family is in your two brothers, not in others, not in Cao Zihuan. It's not built in Cao Zi! ”

"Uncle Jia, my nephew understands, my nephew knows that the second brother is impulsive

"Hehe, that's good, that's good!" Stroking his white beard, Jia Xu sighed. "At the beginning, I listened to my uncle under my father's tent and followed him to fight in all directions. It seems that once you wake up from a dream, your two brothers have grown up to be * people, start a family, become uncles, and are also old, old, and there are many words, heh..."

"Where did Uncle Jia speak, my nephew was fortunate to have Uncle Jia mention something, so that he could understand things that he didn't understand before,"

"Hehehe, don't make fun of your uncle" said with a smile, Jia Xu looked Jiang Sheng up and down, nodded and said, "Like, really like." Just like your father"

It seems to be playful, Jiang Sheng said pleasantly. "Uncle Jia, is that a nephew statue or a Ziyuan statue?"

The question of "this" suddenly made Jia Xu difficult. I saw him frowning and pondering for a while. Then he said, "You are dressed in plain clothes, just like your father is in plain clothes, and your son is like your father in armor, well, but so!" ”

"Huh?" I saw that Jiang Yuan's face was stunned, and he asked in surprise, "Isn't my father unfamiliar with martial arts?" How do you taste nails? ”

"Haha" seems to feel funny. Jia Xu Yeyu said, "Your father is the commander of an army. Is there any reason not to be in armor? Hehe, but then again, your father doesn't like the armor either, well, "Before and after, I have only seen it a few times for my uncle." First, after the Battle of Chibi, when your father prayed to 400,000 soldiers in Jingzhou, and second, it was the time to attack Zhang Baiqi! ”

"Zhang Baiqi?"

"Ahh After the Battle of Chibi, your father and Cao Gong and the adults sacrificed the soldiers who died in battle. It was rumored that Zhang Bai cavalry raised troops to attack Bishui Pass. Your father was on a hurry, and at that time, there were very few soldiers available, so your father only led a few thousand surviving soldiers and horses and tigers and leopards to rush there overnight."

"Thousands, tigers and leopards ride, but nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses?" Jiang Kun looked surprised and asked in surprise, "What is the number of soldiers and horses under the command of the white horseman?" ”

"Hey!" Jia Xu smiled faintly and stroked his beard and said. "Zhang Baiqi's onslaught on the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong at that time was also a big loss, well, almost 100,000!"

"One hundred thousand?" Jiang Wei's face was even more shocked. frowned and said, "What a disparity in strength" Uncle Jia, what happened next? ”

"Do you need to talk about that?" Jia Xu shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "Naturally, your father wins, and Zhang Bai loses!" ”

I saw Jiang Yuan open his mouth, and he was suddenly speechless.

"Okay, okay" It seemed that seeing the expression on Jiang Kun's face, Jia Xu smiled even more, and said with a smile. "At that time, Uncle Wei had the honor to go to Bishui Pass with your father, if Zixu didn't think Uncle was old and talkative, I would go to the garden to rest, and wait for Uncle 1510 to talk about this matter in detail, okay? For my uncle's old age, I can't help but stand like this

"As it should be!" Jiang Yuan said respectfully. "Uncle Jia, please!"

"Hmm!" Nodding with great satisfaction, Jia Xu slowly walked towards the garden.

Conquest of Zhang Baiqi, it was five years of Jian'an,,

Not......

Thirteen years ago,

Dan rationalized his thoughts and prepared the next follow-up. It's mainly Zhang Baiqi and some finishing chores, I'm sorry for those who are not interested in this" (to be continued)
