954 Chapter 50 Dragon and Tiger!

Called Qiandu. The old name is Xuchang, which is the name of Cao Cao when he looked up to the Tianzi Association and took Xuchang as the capital.

Since Cao Cao appointed that, "I don't know where it came from." After Jiang Zhejiang Shouyi was ordered by Jingzhao Yin Xu Du, the development of Xu Du was so rapid.

As soon as the transaction tax came out, almost all the merchants in the world looked forward to Xu Du, on the prosperity, today's Xu Du has far exceeded the old Han Dynasty Beijing Luoyang, since then it has been the place of attention of the soldiers, the place where celebrities gathered, not only from a county to the ranks of the capital, but also to attract all the merchants of the world to here.

Originally, Jiang Zhe also wanted to cancel the tax on entering and leaving the city gate, but in the end he couldn't resist Xun Yu's insistence, so he gave up.

In the account book of Xun Yu's administration, although Xu Du's tax is now huge, but it is still beyond his means, in addition to the years of conquest, it is also related to Jiang Zhe's improvement of the treatment of soldiers and other matters, so Xun Yu is now transformed into a bookkeeper, personally supervising Xu Du's finances.

Originally, the financial part was also managed by Jiang Zhe, but why is it given to Xun Yu now?

Guy didn't talk about Xun Yu, even Cao Cao couldn't bear Jiang Zhe's big strokes,

With a wave of the red pen, a pound is just a catty. "Accurate, word. The property equivalent to ten years of tax revenue in Xudu was turned into the outer city wall of Xudu; A red pen hook, only one catty, "Read, word, every year Xu has to take out at least four or fifty percent of the tax to add to the soldier's salary, how can this not make Cao Cao and Xun Yu frightened?"

But then again, as for the construction of the palace. It was not Jiang Zhe's approval, I remember that Jiang Zhe suppressed it for at least more than a month, and was finally known by Xun Yu. Approved in person"

To get back to the point, today's Xu Du is divided into two times before and after, and the circumference of the outer road wall is "nine miles and one hundred and twenty-nine steps" and the width is "seven or eight zhang" is that Jingzhao Yin Xu Du Ling Jiang Zhe recruited nearly 200,000 hungry people in Qingzhou and filled in all the bribes of the old Xu Du family. A corner tower of 100 steps, as for other arrow stacks and defenses, there are countless of them.

There is a moat outside the outer city, which is made by the water of the Ying, if anyone wants to attack the capital. Seeing the appearance of this city, I can only sigh and stop.

If you talk about prosperity, only Luoyang, Chang'an and other cities can be compared, and the rest are Nanyang under Yuan Shu, Yecheng under Yuan Shao and Xiangyang under Liu Bei. It is not comparable, let alone others.

The palace is magnificent, the momentum is majestic, there is quite the image of Longxing, so when the Tianzi Association first saw this city, it was also excited in his heart.

Later, the tuntian system proposed by Jiang Zhe, written by Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Li Ru made Xu Du governed, prosperous, and economically prosperous.

The market is bustling with traffic, especially in the western part of the inner city.

To the northeast of the inner city is where the Imperial City is located. On that day, Jiang Zhe followed Cao Cao's army to conquer Xuzhou, which was not yet fully completed, but now, this gorgeous palace is really located in the capital of Xu. Of course, this is also the only thing that Liu Xie feels more relieved about now."

The outer city of Xudu is built on the inner city, and in the inner city, except for the palace of the Son of Heaven. Most of them are the residences of hundreds of officials in the court, the general Cao Cao and the civil and military generals under Cao Cao, among which there are of course many ordinary people and families, but the location is relatively remote.

Today's Xudu, not to mention much, is naturally the most gorgeous palace built, but in addition. It is located in the middle of the city. Earlier, it was the place where Cao Cao lived, and then because of the new construction of the General's Mansion, the General Assassin's Mansion was given to Jiang Zhe, Xun Yu, Xun You and others as office directors.

And more than 100 zhang east of the Thorn History Mansion is the Situ Jiang Mansion and the Great General's Mansion opposite, I have to say. Just looking at the pomp and circumstance of this Situ Jiang Mansion, which occupies a space comparable to the General's Mansion, you can understand Jiang Zhe's place in Cao Cao's heart.

There are now three hostesses in Situ Jiang Mansion, one of them is Diao Xiu'er, the niece of the old Prince Situ Gongshi, the second is Cai Yan, the daughter of the famous world and Cai sacrifice wine, and the third is Mi Zhen, the daughter of the Mi family in Xuzhou, but these three daughters have now stayed in Xuzhou with their husband Jun Jiangzhe,,

Wait a minute, since the three hostesses of the Jiang Mansion are not there, who are the two women standing in the bamboo forest in the courtyard at this moment? Let's go and see first,

"Giggles" With a string of bell-like laughter, a woman dressed in green clothes chuckled and looked at the surrounding environment, then turned to the woman in white clothes behind her and said, "Sister, this mansion is much bigger than our house."

"Mo'er, don't mess around" I saw the woman in white slowly step forward, glanced at her sister, and said, "This is the mansion of the Great Han Situ." If you are more than us and other families, you must not mess around, my uncle thinks that Jiangdong has frequent wars, but entrusts our clansmen to Jiang Situ, if Jiang Situ is evil. Not to mention my sister and me, even the clansmen are afraid that they will also complain about you

It turned out that these two women were two of his clansmen who the deceased Qiao Gong entrusted to Jiang Zhe before his death, the older one in white was called Qiao Wei, and the smaller one, called Qiao Iodine, was the daughter of Qiao Gong's younger brother.

"Hmph" I saw Qiao Mo snort and pouted, "At this moment, Jiang Zhe is not in the mansion again." How could I offend him? ”

"Tsk!" Qiao Weixiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she reproached in a condensed voice, "Mo'er, Jiang Situ has a very high reputation here. How can you call him by his name? If it is heard by the people in the house, they will also say how can we wait, and remember not to do so in the future! ”

"Oh" Qiao Mo saw that his sister insisted, so he had to pout, sat on the stone bench on the side and sulked, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked curiously, "Sister, I heard that Jiang Zhe" Oh, Jiang Situ, only more than twenty or three years old? Can you be a big man at such an age? One of them won't," she said, and at the end of her expression was very strange.

"Don't talk nonsense" With a light move, Qiao Wei walked over and sat down beside her sister, and said softly, "The people of Xu Du seem to be such rumors" But my sister has never seen it with her own eyes, how can she comment on it? However, according to what my sister saw, it would not be like this, just looking at the prosperity of Xu Capital, I knew that this person was indeed a rare genius in the world

"Hee-hee" looked at his sister, Qiao iodine grinned, and the smile was very strange.

"Tsk!" Glaring at Qiao Heng with a little embarrassment, Qiao Wei got up and said, "It's windy, let's go back to the room and say, by the way, don't go to Jiang Situ's study to mess around again,"

"What kind of nonsense" Qiao Mo was very aggrieved and defended, "I just want to see what books that person reads on weekdays."

"Okay" While comforting her sister, Qiao Wei said, "Whether it's nonsense or not, I will go again in the future, fortunately it was Uncle Wang who bumped into you a few days ago, this old man is very kind and kind, if it is other people in the house, what do you want them to think of me?" It is really disrespectful to break into the master's study without the permission of the master, and Hugh will lose the face of my Qiao family,"

"Mo'er knows." Seeing that her sister was going to talk at length again, Qiao Mo hurriedly got up and pulled her over to the courtyard, changing the topic in her mouth, "Sister, I feel that Uncle Wang doesn't seem to be an ordinary person, why?" Sister, I don't seem to have seen Uncle Wang come here to prune flowers and trees today."

"This," Qiao Wei frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "Sister, I seem to have heard that Uncle Wang has a distant nephew who came to see him. Did he go out to pick up his nephew? ”

Seeing that he had succeeded in diverting his sister's attention, Qiao Mo snickered, said coquettishly, and then falsely accused Siyou of releasing it, concave plus muscle 0. It's so cold here, let's go back to our room" "Well, good! ”

The uncle Wang in the mouth of these two daughters is the old housekeeper of Situ Jiang Mansion and the old king in Jiang Zhe's mouth. Does Lao Wang have a distant Jiang Zi?

The west gate of the outer city of Xudu!

Among the many pedestrians coming and going, there are two people who are the most eye-catching, one is dressed in gray coarse clothes, but it is difficult to hide his temperament, and there is already a demeanor between his gestures; The other person was dressed as a scholar, but his eyes were bright, and he was looking at the west gate of Xudu with interest.

"Kong Ming, although he has never been to Luoyang. But to see this Xu Du today, I'm afraid it's not worse than Luoyang" After a few glances at the dense flow of people under the city gate, then," the scholar said with a chuckle.

"Hehe" the white-clothed Confucian smiled faintly. While walking towards the city, he said softly, "Except for personal preferences, Jiang Shouyiguo can build such a capital, and Liang is very impressed in his heart, but this city is not his work alone, if nothing else, just say that its lord Cao Mengde, if it is not for Cao Mengde's trust and reuse for him, how can he have the opportunity to supervise the construction of this city?" I heard that another 400,000 hungry people in Qingzhou have to contribute. The Xu Du family contributed wealth, such as today's time, place and people, if you can't afford to build such a city, wouldn't it be worthy of his duty? ”

"Haha" The scholar next to Confucian laughed heartily, and when he saw the surprised eyes of the pedestrians, he retracted his smile, and said with a low laugh, "Kong Ming, you don't have to forget that the 400,000 hungry people in Qingzhou were brought back by Jiang Shouyi when he personally led the troops to recruit the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou; As for the Xu Du family's donation, hey. You also have some connections with the Cai family, but I don't see you convincing Cai Mao to allocate some money to come out, tsk, think about the way of governing people's livelihood in Najiang philosophy, which is better than what you have learned, maybe it is more clever.

"Hehe" shook his head, and the white-clothed Confucian said with a wry smile, "Yuan Zhi, do you have to reduce Liang to worthless?" ”

"Huh?" "Scholar. Hearing this, his face was stunned, and then he said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Shu lost his temper for a while, looking at his brother Haihan. ”

The Confucian shook his head, looked at the dense crowd on the street, the shops abounding on both sides of the street and the dazzling array of goods, and sighed sincerely, "This" is exactly what I admire about Jiang Shouyi! The teacher is right, even if I have been studying the books of the sages for a long time, how can I immerse myself in this way for a long time compared to this person? The world's first strategist, what a dazzling name

"Hey" glanced at Confucius, "The scholar said with a chuckle, "Could Kong Ming be convinced by Jiang Shouyi's heart?" I'm going to fight him? ”

"Admiration is admiration, if you want me to be convinced" hehe" chuckled, Confucius said lightly, "Yuan Zhi, I'll wait and ask where Situ's mansion is, before this trip, Yueying told me to take my father-in-law back,,

"Tsk, what a concubine, I really envy others" "Scholar." Shake your head.

In the astonished gaze of others, this pair and its discordant "master and servant." Ignoring the gazes of others, the two walked straight into the city.

It is estimated that it took half an hour, during which several people from Xudu found the Situ Jiang Mansion.

I looked at the plaque on the door of Wangfu, "Situ Jiangfu." The four Segin families looked back at the Great General's Mansion behind them, the "scholar." Said with a smile. "Kong Ming, as you expected, I want to come to Cao Mengde and this person!"

"Hehe" the white-clothed Confucian smiled faintly. nodded and said, "It's not early, and I've seen my father-in-law, so it's the right way to bring his old man back to Jingzhou."

"Good, good" "Scholar." Shaking his head, he walked forward, and said helplessly, "It's a mistake." I lost all the games, who told me to lose. I'll call the door," and he let him go to the door. But as he walked, he didn't feel right, and then he came back.

"Kong Ming, you say, if your father-in-law is not in the mansion, and someone asks who we are, how can you answer?"

"You," the Confucian sneered and said with a wry smile, "Nephew! Nephew! ”

"Oh" "Scholar. He was about to step forward when he suddenly heard a chuckle from the side.

"If you want to enter this house, but you can't get there? Hehe, if that's the case, I can help one or two

"Huh?" The Confucian frowned, turned around, and saw a young man standing not far behind him, perhaps a few years younger than himself, dressed as a student in an ink pigment suit, with deep eyes and eyes that were so sharp that it was difficult to look at each other.

"What did you just say?" The scholar, obviously hearing the shameful smile in those words, frowned and asked.

"Aren't the two here for their careers?" Those sons owed their hands, and said with a smile, "Although I don't have any fame in Xia, but my brother is also an official in the court, and I have met Situ Zhi a few times, and asking my brother to help, isn't it better than two lonely people who come forward and run into a wall?" However, this Situ has always been a non-dog, and the two of them should not expect too much."

"Hmph" The white-clothed Confucian snorted coldly, and said lightly, "Your kindness, I am waiting for my heart, I am here to visit our elders, but I am very curious in my heart, and the virtuous brother is here for everyone?" Could it be that he was not allowed to enter the door, so he could help one or two when he went down," he said, and took out a document from his arms, which seemed to have the stamp of Jiangfu.

"You!" Originally, I saw the two of them wandering outside Situ's mansion, and the "student." It's an ordinary person who comes here to seek a career, so he makes a mockery. Unexpectedly, now he is insulted by the other party, how can he not be angry when he is arrogant?

"In the next compound surname Sima, a single name is a Yi character, the table word Zhongda, how do you call my brother?"

Confucius shook his head and smiled, and bowed his hand slightly. said lightly, "It is also a compound surname, and a compound surname is Zhuge below." A single name is bright, and the word Kong Ming is clear! ”

Shu Han Chengxiang Zhuge Liang?

Sima Yi, the Taiwei of Wei?

Disturbed by Jiang Zhe's butterfly, the pair of old enemies are now meeting in such a scene?

I saw that the two looked at each other deeply for a long time, Sima Yi pointed to the "scholar" and smiled at Zhuge Liang, "This is your scholar?" ”

"Hehe" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and said lightly, "Isn't the virtuous brother cloudy in his eyes?" If there should be such a scholar in the world, what should I do? This is Liang's friend, Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi! ”

"Oh" Sima Yi pretended to suddenly realize, glanced at Xu Shu a few times, and said with a smile, "I don't see what this person is capable of,"

"Haha" Xu Shu was not angry when he heard it. Laughed and said, "Isn't it that the virtuous brother has never heard of it." I'm all talented, how can you see it? From my side? Or from my dress? As he spoke, he deliberately shook his shirt.

"Humph!" With a sneer, Sima Yi looked at the two of them a few times, and suddenly said with a smile, "It's really a great pleasure to meet the two of you here today, if the younger brother is the east, the two brothers can give this face?" ”

"This kid is still not convinced!" Xu Shu smiled at Zhuge Liang in a low voice.

Why use Xu Shu to tell him, Zhuge Liang had already seen the coldness in the other party's eyes, secretly sneered, and arched his hand and said, "Since the virtuous brother is so loving." Is there a reason for me to sue us? Please! ”

"Please!" Sima Yi said coldly, then waved his sleeves, turned around and left, he was not worried that the two would run away halfway, because they were not like that.

found a restaurant casually, and Sima Yi ordered an elegant room.

After the restaurant junior two served some wine and food. Sima Yi took out the chessboard pieces from the corner of the elegant room, and said with a light smile,

Zhuguan is only a brother, and he is not an ordinary person. Don't please us and wait for the pleasure of drinking, shallow. "What?"

"Why not?" I saw Zhuge Liang gently wave his sleeves, sit down in front of the table, and said in a condensed voice, "You come here!" ”

"Hey" Seeing that the other party was so confident, Sima Yi also sneered in his heart and put the chessboard away. Raising his hand, he said, "Brother is better than me, presumably the same is true of knowledge, so the younger brother goes first!" As he spoke, he took the sunspot one step ahead and ran to the center.

"Brother Xian is so strong!" Zhuge Liang took a word lightly and hung it on the corner.

"Playing chess with my brother, how dare my little brother not use what he has learned in his life?" As he spoke, Sima Yi took a son and placed it in Zhuge Liang's place, wanting to block it.

"Brother Xian's words are serious, and I think Brother Xian is also a well-educated person" said, Zhuge Liang has another son.

The two of you come and go, as if you don't need to think, just half a pillar of incense, the entire chessboard is already a chess piece, and there is no place to stay.

Looking at the situation on the chessboard, it is Sima Yi who holds the sunspot that has the advantage, and the chess pieces cover most of the chessboard, but what is very strange is that Xu Shu, who has nothing to do, counts carefully, but the eyes of the two are Zhuge Liang...

Frowning, Sima Yi took a deep look at the person in front of him who was smiling and silent, nodded and said, "Brother Zhicai and younger brother admire it very much, but" As he spoke, he pushed open the box where the chess pieces were placed, took the chess pieces in front of him and moved them, and then picked up Zhuge Liang's white seed, and said with a smile, "In front of our army, how can you not eat and ignore it?" ”

"What kind of trick is this?" Even Xu Shu was surprised.

I saw Zhuge Liang frowning and thinking for a while, and then looked at Sima Yi's playful smile, and suddenly realized, just like him, he took a piece, ate the chess pieces on the opposite side, and said with a smile in his mouth, "What the virtuous brother said is extremely true, facing the enemy in battle." If there is a slight difference, it will be like this," he said, playing with what he had in his hand

Child.

"Humph!" Sima Yi sneered and shouted in a low voice, "So this son should also eat!" ”

"This son should be eaten too!"

"Eat!"

"Eat!"

Xu Shu was dumbfounded, there were more and more chess pieces outside the chessboard of the two, but there were fewer and fewer chess pieces inside the chessboard.

After watching it for a long time, Xu Shu finally saw a clue, but then Sima Yi's step made him confused.

I saw Sima Yi press the two sunspots and move forward two squares, and said, "Two-pronged, strong attack!" ”

"How can it be so long?" Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, gently stepped forward a white zi, and said with a chuckle, "Wait for work with ease, and hit halfway!" ”

"Haha" Sima Yi laughed, then took another step forward and said with a smile. "I am the horn of the horn, and I look at each other. How do you hit me? ”

"At the end of the strong crossbow, you can't wear Lu Min. When eating! Facing Sima Yi's pressure, Zhuge Liang was not afraid at all.

"You" knew that he was at a loss, Sima Yi frowned and thought for a moment, then laughed and said, "You are outnumbered. To defend me, even if you eat it, your army is also difficult to protect, I should take it! ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "The three armies of your road are all from afar. I am already exhausted, on the other hand, our army, waiting for work, the soldiers are strong, how do you eat me? ”

"Don't you hear that the mourning soldiers will be victorious, and they will be put to death and reborn?" Sima Yi argued.

"Hehe" Zhuge Liang shook his head helplessly. He sighed and said, "Well, now the enemy will make me weak." Only hold on! As he spoke, he moved his two sons lightly, showing a defensive posture.

"If you defend, then I will attack! Roll the armor and tend, day and night, double the road and travel a hundred miles and compete for profit" Sima Yi said a word, took one of his sons and walked straight three steps, and was about to take the white son on Zhuge Liang's chessboard, but saw him move a white son lightly. said lightly, "The last to come, the horns!" However, "one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, this son was eaten by me!" ”

As he spoke, in Sima Yi's incredible eyes, Zhuge Liang's face remained unchanged and he picked it up.

Looking deeply at Zhuge Liang on the other side, Sima Yi raised his hand and pointed to the chessboard, and said with a smile, "Looking at my chess momentum, I have most of it, I can attack and retreat, so what?" In a safe corner, struggling in vain! ”

"At the beginning of the overlord, the number of soldiers under his command was only 8,000. Then, the one hundred and two Qin passes finally belonged to Chu; Gaozu has a corner of peace, and he has experienced everything, and then there is the battle of Yuanping, and the overlord's self-created Wujiang River "is a corner of peace, and it is not that he is unable to enter the Central Plains!" ”

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Sima Yi's face was stunned, and then he laughed, and said in the chessboard, "Such a paper talk, you can talk nonsense, it is definitely not a real ability, if it is another day, I will meet on the battlefield, and I should have to learn and lead the brother to grow up!" ”

"Brother Xian is not weak" Zhuge Liang chuckled, and he didn't know whether to say that Sima Yi was not weak in learning, or that his ability to talk nonsense was not weak.

"I said that you two, playing chess like this, is unheard of," Xu Shu said with a helpless wry smile.

"That's it, I'm lucky to meet two today, it's really Yizhi's luck, do it!" Holding a wine glass, Sima Yi said to Zhuge Liang and the others.

"!" Zhuge Liang picked up the wine glass, drank it slowly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a burst of "crotch lock" outside. said with a frown. "Zhongda, why is this the case?"

"Hey" I saw Sima Yi sneer, got up and walked to the window, glanced out, and said with a smile, "I learned that the general Cao Mengde took the victorious army back to Xudu, so the Son of Heaven ordered the hundred officials of the court and the people of Xudu to go together to greet him

"What?" Zhuge Liang frowned deeply when he heard this, hurriedly walked to the window and looked outside, just in time to see an imperial chariot slowly walking out of the city, and said coldly, "Cao Mengde actually persecuted the Son of Heaven like this? ”

"Hey, hey!" Sima Yi laughed silently.

The fox glanced at Sima Yi suspiciously, Zhuge Liang's heart moved, and he said suspiciously, "Or, someone wants the Son of Heaven to be like this, but to crown Cao Mengde in the name of a powerful minister?" ”

"Brother Dayou" Sima Yi smiled bitterly and admired, and secretly thought in his heart, in the world, is there really a person who is as agile as a man? Don't say whether Jiang Shouyi is clear or not, just say that the person in front of him is only higher than himself, not low, alas, there are so many heroes in the world"

Looking at the lively scene outside, Zhuge Liang sighed secretly in his heart, turned around and said to Xu Shu. "Yuan Zhi, I'll go to Situ Mansion to see my father-in-law as soon as possible, and then leave Xu Du, Xu No

，

"If the two of them want to leave Xudu, I'm afraid it will only be tomorrow, today" Sima Yi pointed to the outside of the boat, and said with a light smile, "How do the two get out?" ”

I saw Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu glancing at each other, and they both frowned.

I'm afraid that after today, Cao Mengde will inevitably recruit my brother's account to listen to it, and according to his brother's talent, hum. In this way, the prosperity of my Sima family is just around the corner!

Is the Son of Heaven really as inadequate as his brother said?

I'm going to see and see,

So much so that I wrote about the chess game in the article in modern times, after all, I am not familiar with ancient times. I heard that it was still Baizi who went first, and said that it was three steps first."

As for the name of Big Joe and Little Joe, it is taken from the book friend scare, hey, hey, scared than, blame me"
