Chapter 532: The People's Heart
In a tavern in East County, there are a few tables of guests. Now that Lu Bu's army is pressing, martial law is imposed in the city, the people don't go out, and even the business of the tavern is not as good as before.
On the second floor, sitting by the window are two young people who look like scholars. One was pouring wine for his companion with his back to an open window, wearing a black silk scholar's robe and a black silk scarf wrapped around his head, and his appearance was ordinary; The other sat sideways, wearing a white silk scholar's robe, with a white silk scarf wrapped in a bun, and looked very handsome.
The young man in black poured wine for his companion, then poured himself a full glass, took a dry sip, shook his head and sighed: "It's really a loss of heaven!" Unexpectedly, Lu Bu, the rebellious minister and thief who didn't practice the words of a saint, is now becoming more and more rampant! Xuchang has fallen, and now Dongjun is also in danger! Hey," he looked up and said with great sadness and indignation, "Didn't God open his eyes?" ”
The young man in white took a sip of wine, "Brother Zhou doesn't have to be too pessimistic!" I'm sure things will get better. From ancient times to the present, only those who have the way of heaven can win the world! I have never heard of a rebellious minister and thief like Lu Bu who can sit on the country! At the beginning, Wang Mang usurped the Han, how can the arrogance of arrogance be comparable to Lu Bu now? But the result? The heroes of the world's warrior clan rebelled together, and after years of fighting, Wang Mang was completely wiped out, and in the end, Wang Mang also ended up with no corpse! It's really exciting! ”
"Now, although jackals are rampant for a while, the power to set things right is much stronger than in Wang Mang's time. Wang Mang can still be destroyed, but is Lu Bu indestructible? ”
The young man in black nodded thoughtfully, poured himself a glass of wine, and raised his glass, "Brother Li has a very good opinion, junior brother respects you." Then he raised his head and drank it all. The young man in white hurriedly replied.
The two put down their wine glasses, and the young man in black said, "Lu Bu is still just a threat, and the other threat is only afraid that the disaster will be even greater!" He pointed out the window and said resentfully: "Those mud-legged people are extremely ignorant, and those merchants' families are profitable and unrighteous, and they secretly want Lu Bu to come in?" If I were the lord, I would arrest all of them and put them to death! The young man in white sighed, "Isn't it true that the Shu people have been like this since ancient times? Extremely ignorant, his eyes are only staring at the three meals in front of him and a bed, loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and righteousness are all in his heart, and he can give up everything for a bucket of rice. As for the merchants, they are even more contemptible, mercenary, in their eyes, as long as the price is right, even their own parents can be betrayed! Hey, there are two groups of people in the world who are afraid that they will never be at peace! ”
Hurried footsteps were heard at the top of the stairs, and a young man who looked like a servant rushed up. Standing at the top of the stairs, his eyes searched the second floor, and when he saw the two sons sitting by the window, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran over and saluted the young man in white: "Son." Then he saluted the young man in black: "Gongzi Zhou is also here." The young man in black nodded and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you running here in such a hurry?" ”
The servant said: "I came to my son-in-law on the order of the lord to discuss the matter of donating money and food to the lord. ”
The young man in white immediately stood up, "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and now that the avenue is facing a huge crisis of overturning, how can the people of my generation stand by and watch, and they should do their part!" Looking at the young man in black, "Brother Zhou, would you like to go over with me to discuss this matter?" ”
The young man in black staggered to his feet, drained a glass of wine, and said loudly, "Fuck, Dog's Day Lu Bu!" Lao Tzu fought with him! Then he hugged his fist at the young man in white and said, "Brother Li, I'll go with you." The young man in white was overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned the servant to take charge of the young man in black. The three of them went downstairs together.
These two young sons, one black and one white, are the sons of the Li family and the Zhou family, the two largest scholars in Dongjun. The Li family and the Zhou family have a lot of influence in the entire north of Dongjun, and more than ninety percent of the grain fields around Dongjun are from these two families. It is said that in each of these two granaries, more than one million quintals of grain and grass were stored in the granary.
……
Zhang Lang led two legions to the bank of the Yellow River, and when he saw that there was a boat in the Yellow River, he ordered the army to temporarily station it with Baima as the center, and then sent Yan Xing to lead his soldiers to search for ships along the river, and at the same time ordered Shamoke to lead his Wuxi barbarians to cut down trees around and build rafts.
Zhang Lang, surrounded by three female generals and all the tiger guards, rode his horse to a mountain by the river and looked at the opposite side. I saw a busy scene on the opposite side, the originally flat earth was dug into a thousand holes and ravines, and there were also horse-repellent stakes and barbed wire fences arranged everywhere.
Zhang Lang couldn't help but scolded: "Koji Yi, this bastard, how can he toss!" ”
Dong Ying frowned and said: "He cut the ground like that, let alone cavalry, even the infantry is difficult to attack!" Sun Ren said: "It's better to go around." Although Sun Ren is wearing a suit of armor today, he still can't hide the woman's gorgeous complexion, which is all due to Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang shook his head, "Only this area has a gentle river level, which is conducive to attacking, and the water flow in other places is turbulent, so it is difficult to carry out attack operations!" After looking around for a while, he turned his head to the third girl and said, "Let's talk about it when we go back." Le turned his horse and galloped down, and the crowd followed.
The hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Dongjun.
A scout hurried in and knelt down and said, "Lu Bu has led an army of 200,000 to occupy the white horse. When the civil officials heard this, they were so frightened that they began to talk about it, and some of them cursed Koji Yi.
Cao Pi raised his voice and said, "It's all quiet!" The scene slowly fell silent.
Cao Pi glanced at the Wenchen, and said angrily: "What's the chaos? Isn't it just a white horse? That's what I asked Lu Yi to throw to Lu Bu, what are you nervous about? ”
All the ministers looked at each other, and they understood a little in their hearts, could it be that the loss of the white horse turned out to be the master's plan?
Cao Pi sneered: "If Lu Bu wants to fight Jizhou, I will let him meet by the Yellow River to break the blood flow, so as to dispel the hatred in my heart a little." He turned his head to Xiahoudun and said, "General Xiahou, your tiger and leopard iron cavalry must be ready to attack." Xiahou clasped his fists and said: "It's already ready, don't worry, lord!" ”
……
In the evening, Yan Xing came back and reported with his fists hugged: "General, my subordinates went to dozens of miles, but only found dozens of small fishing boats, and none of the big boats were missing. ”
Zhang Lang frowned, "The Cao army has been guarding against us for a long time, and has collected all the big and small ships. You can only build a raft. He said to Yan Xing: "You have worked hard, go down and rest." Yan Xing replied and retreated.
Zhang Lang showed a thoughtful look, thinking about the strategy of attacking. stood up, walked out of the big tent, heard a noise coming from afar, followed the sound, only to see the Wuxi barbarian army was rushing to make rafts and bamboo rows by the river.
