Chapter 551: Yang Xiu and Chicken Ribs (Really Asking for Subscription)

Seeing Diao Chan coming in with the doctor, Fu Shou hurriedly picked up the paintbrush and continued to paint a portrait of Liu Zhang.

The doctor's pulse, as Fu Shou said, is that headaches are unavoidable, which is a "normal" phenomenon and cannot be relieved.

After the whole portrait was painted, Fu Shou stopped at the place of Liu Zhang's eyes, Liu Zhang on the bed still looked indifferent in front of people, Fu Shou closed his eyes, imagining a picture that he had never seen before, only existed in his heart at this moment.

Fu Shou sketched Liu Zhang's eyes, which seemed to be painted according to Liu Zhang, but the light of his eyes was completely different from the current Liu Zhang, there was no defeat, no sadness, no coldness, and no ruthlessness of commanding thousands of troops.

Spirit, sunshine, confidence, with a smile of a little joy.

This is what Fu Shou imagined Liu Zhang to look like, or what Fu Shou thought Liu Zhang should be.

In the picture in my heart, Liu Zhang and a woman walked side by side, followed by the soldiers and horses who returned triumphantly, not only with the confidence of the world, but also with the joy of a lover finally becoming a family.

In Fu Shou's heart, if Liu Zhang can live a long life, dominate the world, and return to his hometown with the share of the great Han Zhongxing, it should be such a picture, right? Liu Zhang's eyes should also be the demeanor of the person in the painting, right?

Maybe Huang Yueying is too unphotogenic in Fu Shou's heart, in the picture, the woman next to Liu Zhang, Fu Shou can't help but imagine what he looks like.

Fu Shou looked at his work with satisfaction, and inscribed fourteen big characters next to it: "And go to see the country, and say goodbye to Hongyan between life and death." ”

The pen is beautiful and powerful, and it is done in one go.

Fu Shou moved the easel over to Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang hadn't seen it clearly. The doctor and Diao Chan were the first to be shocked.

Diao Chan said: "Queen." Your Danqing level has improved by leaps and bounds. When you painted "Night Pavilion and Pavilion" in Chang'an, everyone praised it, but in my opinion, it is only a high-quality work, this painting is vivid, especially the eyes, it is very expressive, it is simply a masterpiece. Diao Chan can't catch up with Niangniang in this life. ”

"My sister praised it, how can my sister's clumsy work be compared with my sister who is a master of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"The queen must not be too modest." The doctor in Tsing Yi said tightly: "Miss Diao Chan is right, Queen Mother, according to the small one, it is not too much to call your painting a masterpiece, as the saying goes, the finishing touch, the eyes are the soul of the character painting."

The queen mother not only outlined the shape of the eyes, but also outlined the god of the eyes, not only the god of the eyes, through the eyes of the people in the painting. The old man seemed to be able to see a sunny and cheerful man with lofty ambitions. The picture of finally achieving the ideal through my own efforts is really high, really high. ”

"You're a doctor, how do you know so much?" Liu Zhanghu looked at the excited doctor suspiciously, and said in his heart, you just blow it, I must have seen that it was me who painted it, and it was painted by the queen mother, so I came to pat myself on the back.

The doctor said: "I reported to Shu Hou, I began to learn painting at the age of five, and I have followed three famous teachers in Danqing, and I have a little attainment in painting. ”

"Then how did you become a doctor?"

"Shu Hou four science judges, civil and military medical workers, no painting, the painters recruited are all for ceramic silk painting, my Danqing pen is useless."

The doctor's face was distressed, looking at the bitter and hateful expression, Liu Zhang only felt that if he opened the examination subject of painting, this doctor must be Wu Daozi, a character like Qi Baishi.

Is my test-taking education harmful?

Listening to Diao Chan and the doctor's praise, Liu Zhang took a closer look, and was suddenly stunned, the reason why his feelings were applauded was that it turned out to be this portrait, which did not look like himself at all.

Well, it's definitely not yourself, who is this?

Liu Zhang's painting was not his own, but he couldn't say what it looked like, so he quietly took a bronze mirror and peeked behind Diao Chan, and then compared the painting.

The facial features and figure are exactly the same as themselves, but why don't you feel like them?

"Okay, take it and frame it, by the way, you must write Benhou's name below."

Although it is not like it, but Liu Zhang listened to Diao Chan and the doctor praise this painting so much, it must still be very good, maybe it can be famous for a hundred years, so isn't his name also famous for a hundred years?

Looking at the portrait that doesn't look like oneself at all, kind and sunny, if this is passed on, no matter how slandered by those clans, it can save some people's senses.

"I'll keep this painting for myself, and I'll paint it for Uncle Huang in the future."

When the ink dried, Fu Shou rolled up the painting, not looking at Liu Zhang and Diao Chan's gaze at all, Liu Zhang said leisurely: "In the future, I can't wait until later." ”

Fu Shou's hand holding the painting suddenly tightened, and he held the painting shaft out of a depression.

…………………………

In the Chang'an Palace, the sound of the piano came out from behind the bead curtain, reflecting a white slender figure.

Cao Cao was half-lying on the bench, his eyes slightly closed, quietly listening to the sound of the piano, his fingers tapping the wooden edge little by little.

The defeat of the first battle in the field knocked out Cao Cao's hard work for several years, and the 500,000 army was all the troops that Cao Cao could piece together, and the grain and grass in the north of the Central Plains were looted, and the people were suddenly requisitioned, and the people's strength was exhausted.

400,000 troops were lost, and the grain and grass were exhausted for several years, how could this hero not be saddened, when he saw that the defeat of Cao's army could not be avoided, Cao Cao almost had a feeling of despair.

Fortunately, with the sound of the piano, since seven years ago, whenever I fail or despair, as long as the piano sounds, I can be calm, and I can raise my confidence little by little.

Lingju follows him like a shadow, few ministers of civil and military affairs know, and even if they know, they won't talk about it, a few years ago, someone didn't have long eyes, saying that Cao Cao took such a little girl all day long, the relationship was unclear, and it was immoral.

Later, the man died.

If nothing else, Lingju will be like this for the rest of his life, following Cao Cao like a shadow, no one pays attention to her, no one understands her, and even any historical commentary will not mention such a person.

Lingju is destined to follow Cao Cao into the tomb, regardless of yin and yang, the hero Cao Cao needs her to be by his side.

"My lord, many families in Chang'an have wrapped their family property and fled from the east gate to the Central Plains with their families." A general came to report it.

Cao Cao's knuckle movements suddenly stopped, and anger surged: "Go, send an army, whoever dares to go, will be wiped out." ”

"My lord." Guo Jia hurriedly stepped forward.

"Why not? These fat-headed and big-eared families, with grass on the wall, fell with the wind, and when they saw that our army was defeated, they pouted their butts and ran, and they wanted to cut them to pieces. Cao Cao said angrily.

Guo Jia knew that Cao Cao didn't really want to kill the clan, and after the defeat, Cao Cao had been holding back a fire in his heart, as long as he put it out.

Guo Jia said: "My lord, Liu Zhang's heart is not the heart of the world, it is the force that we can use, and this force will never betray us, we must not kill like Liu Zhang, especially now that we are in a big defeat, the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is undoubtedly self-destruction of the Great Wall." ”

Guo Jia said this, but others didn't know that Guo Jia wanted to kill these clans more than Cao Cao in his heart, as a son of the Han family, Guo Jia had endured too much in Cao's camp, had no real power in the sacrificial wine position, and was not responsible for any specific affairs, so he was forced to be debauched.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's eloquence, Guo Jia would have been gone.

In this era, there are few people from poor families who do not hate the world, there is a villain-like hatred like Yang Zishang, and there is also a gentleman-like hatred like Guo Jia Wang Yue.

"Whew~~" Cao Cao let out a sigh of relief, trying to calm himself down in the sound of the piano: "Fengxiao, now that our army has been defeated by Liu Zhang and trapped in Chang'an, what are your plans?" ”

"Immediately retreat to the Central Plains."

"What?" Cao Cao opened his eyes and looked at Guo Jia: "Fengxiao wants to give up Guanzhong to Liu Zhang?" If Liu Zhang occupies Guanzhong, which is even stronger than the original Qin, and we lose 400,000 troops, the grain and grass are exhausted, and we cannot recover for several years, how can we be the opponent of the prosperous Sichuan army? ”

Guo Jia was silent for a while, then raised his head and said: "Guo Jia also knows that if we retreat to the Central Plains, if no miracle happens, we can only take the defensive for more than ten years.

But this is already the best way, Chang'an is determined to be unkept, we have sent a letter to Sun Quan, and named Sun Quan the first king with a different surname in the Han Dynasty in four hundred years, even if Sun Quan is not moved, in order to prevent Jiangdong from being annexed, he will inevitably send troops to Jingzhou.

Cao and Sun fought against Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang's troops were sent to Guanzhong this time, the consumption of grain and grass was also huge, and it was impossible to continue to attack, as long as we could carry Liu Zhang's army this time, Sun Quan could hit the Sichuan army in Jingzhou, the war would stop, and the world was in a three-legged situation.

Neither of us nor Sun Quan is Liu Zhang's opponent, but the combination of the two sides is stronger than Liu Zhang, and there is no chance. ”

Cao Cao's knuckles twitched, thinking quietly, he couldn't make up his mind, and the soldiers brought food, and they didn't have any appetite at all.

At this time, a soldier hurriedly came in: "Report to the lord, the north and south camps report urgently, Xiao Furong led the barbarian army, and the invulnerable army to the south camp to kill, Ma Chao Zhao Yun led the Xiliang cavalry to the north camp to kill, Huang Yueying led the army to arrive thirty miles outside Chang'an City." ”

Cao Cao clenched his fists, now he is really in a dilemma, guard, as Guo Jia said, can't hold it, retreat, Cao Cao is reluctant.

Withdrawing from Guanzhong means that Cao Jun is declining, and the Sichuan Army is rising instead of Cao Jun, who can so calmly give up the position of the boss and be willing to be the second?

A soldier came in: "Lord, what's the patrol password tonight?" ”

Cao Cao picked up a piece of chicken and stared at it for a while: "Chicken ribs." ”

"Yes, chicken ribs."

Cao Cao inspected the barracks, thinking about whether to retreat or hold on, but when he saw the grain officer packing his bags, he immediately asked: "What's the matter, the big war is coming, why are you packing up?" ”

"Report to the lord, Yang Xiu, the chief bookkeeper, said that this is the meaning of the prime minister."

"Nonsense, when did I say it."

"Yang Xiu heard that tonight's password was chicken ribs, saying that the chicken ribs are tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon them, and the prime minister will be a teacher tomorrow, so let people pack up in advance." (To be continued......)
