Chapter 25: Sent by the Other

Tai Shi Ci is the first historical celebrity that Xun crossed into this world after he unexpectedly bumped into, and when he crossed to the west, he was also in turmoil, and he became a good friend. ↑ Top novel,www.In fact, in a strict sense, Shixun and Tai Shi Ci may not have the same interests, and they don't even have much common language, but he wanted to use Tai Shi Ci's force to save himself, so he bent his mind and finally won Tai Shi Ci's trust.

But then he fought side by side in Duchang, faced Sun Ce in Lumen Pavilion Tai Shi Ci, and came to the rescue, it can be said that he selflessly bestowed infinite favors on Shixun, and Shixun could not be unfeeling. So he gradually went from just admiration and reverence at the beginning, and then really introduced Taishi Ziyi as a close friend. In fact, this is the case between friends, where are there so many people who are really in love? As long as there are no violent conflicts, you can gain precious friendships with sincerity, and if you always use friends as a tool to use, then "white as new" is inevitable.

Besides, Tai Shi Ci also pointed out Shi Xun's bow horse, in a sense, he can be regarded as Xun's teacher - the literary master has Zheng Kangcheng, and the martial artist has Tai Shi Ziyi, and he is proud enough.

Although the contact between the two has gradually become sparse since Tai Shici guarded Huainan, the true friends, although separated by thousands of miles and thousands of days, can still communicate with each other. For this reason, Shi Xun suddenly heard the news of Tai Shici's death, how could he not be sad and unable to stop crying?

In fact, Tai Shi Ci should have died a long time ago. Shi Xun did not remember the exact date of birth and death of Taishi Ziyi, but he vaguely remembered that Tai Shici in history died of illness before Chibi and died at the age of forty. Now that the period of Chibi is approaching, Tai Shici is also forty-three years old - he is not dead. Can we really escape this fate?

Under the fluttering of the wings of a small butterfly in Ishoon. Set off a chain reaction. It can be said that there are countless living people, for example, Lu Bu is not dead, Gongsun Zhan, Fu Zhu, Guan Jing and others are also alive. But those guys were killed in battle, committed suicide, or tortured and killed in the original history, and it is reasonable that they were able to prolong their lives because of the change in shape. As for those who have reached the end of their lives. Yes Xun can't be saved, for example, Chen Yuanlong, although Shi Xun repeatedly warned him to stay away from raw food, and specially asked Hua Tuo and Xu Ke to treat him several times, after all, it was still difficult to escape the tragic end of dying in the prime of life. For example, Zheng Xuan, because he entered the dynasty and was in a happy mood, he died a few months later than the original history, and he wanted to drag it out longer. That must be a fool's dream.

In the original history, Tai Shici died of illness. Shi Xun has already made a certain amount of psychological preparation for this - with the medical level of these years, even if Hua Tuo or Zhang Zhongjing sees the sky following, it may not be able to cover all diseases, and it can completely make people immortal. But I didn't expect Tai Shi Ci to pass that hurdle safely, and Shi Xun had just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly news came that he finally died suddenly in Chungu County due to illness and injury......

The only thing that is gratifying is that Taishi Ziyi's last words have changed, from "what is not followed" to "what is not followed", presumably when he was dying, there was not too much regret in his heart. "The crockpot is not broken from the well, and the general will inevitably die in battle", Zhou Tai can still be shot before he is cured from a serious illness, Ziyi can be said to have died well, as a friend, while crying, he should also feel relieved for him.

In the end, it was Xun who did not follow the righteousness of his friends, but from the gift of his junior brother, he found a white belt to tie around his waist, which was regarded as mourning for Taishi Ziyi.

At this time, Cao Cao had already led Cao Xiu's tiger and leopard cavalry to leave Xudu and march westward, planning to garrison the former capital of Luoyang first, gather surrounding soldiers and horses, and then enter Guanzhong to reinforce Xiahou Yuan. Because it is located south of the river, Cao Cao Bi Shixun got the news of Tai Shi Ci's death in advance, and he couldn't help sighing, and then played, posthumously promoted Tai Shi Ci as the Marquis of Wei Township, and allowed his son Tai Shi to enjoy the title.

Almost front and back, a young man was brought to Cao Cao and handed over a letter asking for surrender.

This person's name is Wen Nuo, the word Tiancheng, and he is the nephew of the Jingzhou general Wen Ping. Let's say that since Liu Biao's death, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue acted quickly, secretly gathered party henchmen, and wanted to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, expel Liu Qi and Liu Pan, and support Liu Cong as the lord of Jingzhou - of course, at this time, the so-called lord of Jingzhou was only based on a Jiangling city and half of Nanjun.

The power is small and weak, the key Liu Cong's party leaders Cai, Kuai and other generations are all in prison, and the military power in their hands is almost deprived of it. In the end, they said that the general of Benzhou was Wen Zhongye, and the backer of hope was Cao Cao.

Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and the vast majority of Jingzhou scholars were all relatively focused on the imperial court, and they had long been sincere to Cao Cao, and their sincerity was even greater than that of Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others in Jiangdong. Especially Erzhang still supports Sun Quan, and can't bear to see the Sun family fall, Liu Biaoke, who Cai and Kuai serve, has already hung up, who is willing to admit that Liu Qi, who is the prisoner of his father, is the legitimate heir of the old master?

The seal sent by Wen Nuo said that the scholars of Jingzhou were all interested in Wang Hua and asked Wei Gong to send an army south to attack Jiangling, and they were willing to open the city gate and assist in the expulsion of Liu Qi and Liu Pan. The conditions for surrender are also very simple, as long as the imperial court recognizes Liu Cong as the legitimate heir of Liu Biao and inherits his title, as for the counties of Jingnan, they should also be presented with both hands.

Cai and Kuai originally wanted to solve the problem by themselves, but not long ago, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu and Gan Ning to lead the army down the river, wanting to support Jiangling, and then join forces with Liu Qi and Liu Pan to attack Xiangyang in the north or Xiling in the east, so as to contain Cao's reinforcements to Guanzhong. When the news came, the two of them immediately panicked - if we add tens of thousands of Yizhou soldiers, can we still beat Liu Qi and them? If you don't start it in time, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future!

So while the Yizhou army was still stationed in Wuxian and was sending people to discuss cooperation with Liu Qi, they quickly sent Wen Nuo - Wen Ping was still subordinate to Liu Qi and Liu Pan on the surface, so his nephew came and went freely, which was unlikely to arouse suspicion.

The two armies are united, it is simple to say, Yizhou only needs to say hello in advance, and then take a boat down the river to reach Jiangling - if it is really like that, I am afraid that Wen Nuo has not yet arrived at Caoying in Luoyang, Guan Yu has already advanced Jiangling City. The problem is that the Yizhou soldiers came, although Liu Qi was extremely welcome, Liu Pan was suspicious, not only afraid that the other party would occupy the dominant power, but also afraid that Guan Yu would directly incorporate his own army after entering Jiangling - seventy percent of the military power in the city was in his own hands, and Liu Qi expressed dissatisfaction for a day or two.

Therefore, he asked Liu Qi to put forward conditions to the other party, and the Yizhou army must obey the dispatch of Jingzhou, and only on this premise can we talk about joint matters. Liu Qi had no choice but to send Ma Liang to Wuxian to lobby Guan Yu and Gan Ning. However, Guan Yunchang was originally a proud person, Gan Xingba had fallen into Jingzhou, and he had no good impression of Liu Biao's family, so he categorically rejected Ma Liang's request. According to Guan Yu's meaning, you just need to guard Jiangling City well and ensure the transportation of grain, or Xiangyang, or Xiling, and we will fight - of course, if you fight it, it will naturally belong to me Yizhou.

Liu Qi did not object to letting the Yizhou army advance alone to attack the enemy city, and it was simple for me to prepare grain and grass for you, but he resolutely refused to accept that the land obtained belonged to Liu Bei - the eight counties of Jingxiang are all owned by my family, if you can seize it, I can dump the treasury to give a reward, but you must return the land and the city to me.

just went back and forth, running so long that Ma Ji's long legs were about to break, and it was difficult to see results in the short term; And Liu Pan deliberately made Huang Zhong's garrison return to Zigui and blocked the eastward advance of the Yizhou army - so as to give Cai, Kuai and others the opportunity to secretly arrange and act.

Besides, Wen Nuo came to Luoyang and asked to see Cao Cao, but was unexpectedly called back by Cao Cao. Cao Cao sent someone to spread the news, saying that the lonely envoy Wen Manji (Wen Hui) was the Taishou of Nanjun, and Yu Wenze and Li Mancheng were in charge of the Jingzhou military.

One is that Cao Cao has been complacent recently, thinking that the world is not enough, and the other is worried about Western affairs, and he doesn't have the time and energy to take care of the Jingzhou problem, so he doesn't see it directly - just like before the Battle of Chibi in the original history, he descended to Liu Cong and Dingjingzhou, and he was proud, so he choked Zhang Song, who ran with a map and asked for a guide.

Fortunately, Wen Nuo is not Zhang Song, he is just a small role in the local surrender group, it is not good to make his own decisions, unlike Zhang Song, Cao Cao does not keep his master, and he goes to find Liu Bei...... Wen Nuo was forced to kneel outside the camp and beg bitterly, and also sent someone to secretly bribe Liu Fang, the secretary and supervisor of the conscription, and asked Liu Ziqi to help him say good things in front of Cao Cao, and it took three whole days before Cao Cao finally agreed to meet.

When Wen Nuo reported to the door and entered, he saw Cao Cao kneeling down and made a big salute, Cao Cao pouted: "The former lonely envoy Zhuge Liang went to hang Liu Jingsheng, sarcastically Liu Qi and others surrendered to the court, he is not evil, and now he is sending you here, what do you mean?" ”

Wen Nuo hurriedly explained: "The minister is not sent by the eldest prince, but by the prince of Kuai. ”

"Oh?" When Cao Cao heard this, his face became gentle on the spot. Before Wen Nuo left, the strategist Fu Xun once reminded him that Cai Mao's reputation was not very good, so you should go to Cao Ying, try not to mention his name, just mention Kuaiyue. Cao Cao has heard the name of Kuai Yue for a long time, in the original history, Kuai Yue surrendered to Liu Cong, Cao Cao said, I "don't like Jingzhou, I like Kuai Yidu" - this may be an exaggeration, but it is not false to value Kuai Yue.

In addition, Cao Cao originally thought that this Wennuo was a messenger sent by Liu Qi, so he didn't plan to deal with it, but now when he heard it, he was sent by Kuai Yue, no need to ask, this must be here to offer Jiangling! Recruiting and rebelling can make the soldiers bloodless, and the land and household registration sent to the door in vain will not be disliked. Originally, Cao Cao "did not record" Zhang Song in history, because he considered that after seizing Jingzhou, he had to turn around to attack Yangzhou, Jiangnan was flat, and then took Hanzhong in the west, and finally it was Liu Zhang's turn in Yizhou. If his feelings are revealed, it will destroy the harmonious relationship between me and Liu Zhang, won't it outweigh the losses? That's why Zhang Ziqiao was driven away.

This time is different, Jiangling is close to each other, and there are few soldiers, even if they are busy with western reinforcement, they can send a partial division to receive it halfway. Besides, Yu Ban and Li Dian are stationed in Nanjun and Jiangxia, so it's okay to let them help me run. immediately piled up a smiling face and asked Wen Nuo in detail about his intentions...... (To be continued......)
