Chapter 112: The Tiger's Invitation (2)
Linzi in the Eastern Han Dynasty was not called Linzi, but Linzi.
It was nearly March, and the drizzle was drizzling.
A breeze blows, rolling the peach and apricot on the surface of the Zishui River, which is another moving scene.
Xun Chen was called out by Yuan Tan early in the morning, saying that he wanted to go out together. Elegant people, walking in the rain, have their own taste, but if it is a different person, Xun Chen may be happier. But when he was called out by Yuan Dagongzi, he had other thoughts in his heart.
He held a bamboo straw in his hand and walked on the riverbank with Yuan Tan.
In the distance, Judingze can be seen, in the drizzle, as if shrouded by a layer of clouds, it reveals an ethereal and illusory.
"Mr. Tomoruo!"
"The eldest son."
Yuan Tan suddenly stopped and waved his hand to signal Hu Cong to retreat.
"Counting it, you've been with me for nearly two years, how do I treat you?"
"The eldest prince treats me very well, naturally."
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Yuan Tan's face, "But you, Mr. Youruo, are quite wary of me. ”
When Xun Chen heard this, he couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart.
He looked at Yuan Tan, wanting to see some clues from Yuan Tan's face.
Yuan Tan's words were quite sudden, so he didn't know how to answer. Between the two, there was a sudden silence, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
After a long time, Yuan Tan suddenly said: "Recently, why don't you go out?" ”
"This ......"
Xun Chen's heart trembled, and he didn't know how to answer. In the past, Xun Dan was very lively, and often took her little girl to play in Linjing City, and even became a scene. She's been a big dealer, and she's been in a lot of trouble at the same time. But there is Xun Chen. Naturally, there will be no problems. Yuan Tan suddenly asked Xun Dan. Of course, Xun Chen will not consider the love of children. Yuan Tan is twice as old as Xun Dan, although three wives and four concubines are not a big deal in this era, but it is probably not easy for you to let the Xun family girl be a concubine.
Yuan Tan must have asked for a reason.
Xun Chen rolled his eyes and knew that it was likely that Yuan Tan had already gotten the news.
"Dan'er, I went to Gaomi."
"Do you want to see your husband?"
"This ......"
Yuan Tan couldn't help laughing. "Youruo, don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions.
Actually, the matter of Dan'er and Liu Mengyan was told to me by my father. How can this kind of thing be hidden? My father asked me what I thought of Liu Mengyan. I came to my husband today, in fact, to ask for advice, how should I answer to my father? ”
Xun Chen's eyes narrowed, and he already understood what Yuan Tan meant.
As the fight between Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan became more and more intense. Yuan Tan is gradually tending to the downside.
Yuan Shao loves his youngest son Yuan Shang, and Yuan Shang's mother also knows how to win people over. gradually formed a small circle with Yuan Shang as the main body.
And Yuan Tan relies on the identity of Yuan Shao's eldest son, and naturally there are a group of people around him.
It's just that compared to Yuan Shanglai, Yuan Tan is gradually losing power. He is away all the year round, after all, he can't compare to Yuan Shang following Yuan Shao all day long. It is precisely in this way that Yuan Tan has always wanted to win over Xun Chen. Because around Xun Chen, there is a force independent of the Hebei Shi clan, that is, the Yingchuan Shi clan under Yuan Shao. If Xun Chen can be assisted, Yuan Tan can get the support of the entire Yingchuan clan.
At this point, Yuan Tan was very moved.
It's just that Xun Chen has always refused to show his attitude, which has caused Yuan Tan a bit of a headache.
Even Xin Tan, who had already attached himself to Yuan Tan, was also looking forward to Xun Chen's horse, which made Yuan Tan's desire to get Xun Chen's help more and more intense.
Xun Chen smiled slightly, "You should report it truthfully." ”
Yuan Tan nodded, "That's what I mean, too...... After Liu Mengyan became the Marquis of Zhongling, he suffered a lot before he gained a foothold in Beihai.
Cao Apu gave him a Qi County Taishou, thinking that I really don't know what it means? Not to mention whether Liu Mengyan has the ability to come to Qi County. Even if he really comes, I won't turn against him, and I will return to Le'an, Mr. said, yes or no? ”
"This ...... Childe must not die in the shadow. ”
Yuan Tan shook his head again and again, "How can this be because of private abolition?"
I believe that as long as Mr. Youruo is here, Liu Mengyan and I will not only not turn against each other, but may even become friends.
Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and appointed Meng Yan as the Taishou of Qi County in the name of Sikong, and the fight was that I and Meng Yan fought against each other, and he took advantage of the fisherman, how could I let him succeed? By the way, I remember that Peng Xuan, the minister of the North Sea, was the one appointed by Cao Cao to suppress Meng Yan, right? ”
"Exactly!"
When Yuan Tan heard this, he showed disdain.
"What kind of thing does Peng Xuan count, can he also be the North Sea Minister?
Before this person, he was just a whisker and a horse Kongrong, and he got the position of Fangzheng. Now he took refuge in Cao Cao and sat on the Beihai Minister, I heard that many people are not convinced. This person appoints villains to harm the villagers...... In my opinion, it's really not suitable for the ruling party. ”
Xun Chen's eyes narrowed into a slit.
These days, he keeps saying good things about Liu Chuang in front of Yuan Shao, for what? I just hope that Yuan Shao can speak.
Some people may wonder, what is the use of Yuan Shao's opening?
In fact, since Yuan Shao took the post of general, he held the seal of the general and had the power to appoint officials.
Cao Cao gave up the general to Yuan Shao as a last resort.
But at the same time, it is also equivalent to dividing the power of officials appointed by the imperial court with Yuan Shao.
This is also the reason why Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes to occupy the name of righteousness, but he was extremely jealous of Yuan Shao. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of the great general was beyond imagination. Thinking about how to enter, you can directly recruit the princes into Beijing, and you can see that this general has the power to command the world. Although Cao Cao has the name of righteousness, Yuan Shao can not listen to orders and dominate the land of four states.
Xun Chen and others were Yuan Shao spitting.
Yuan Tan's words are very clear: I can help Liu Chuang ask for the post of minister of Beihai.
As long as Liu Chuang can get the Beihai Phase, he will have enough strength to compete with Peng Xuan.
Xun Chen smiled slightly, "If Meng Yan can get a place to live, I can guarantee that he will be very grateful to the eldest prince." ”
Yuan Tan smiled.
He smiled happily, because he heard a different meaning from Xun Chen's words.
As long as you can help Liu Chuang. Don't say it's me. Even Liu Chuang will surrender to you...... What is this concept? Liu Chuang is the Marquis of Zhongling. Uncle Emperor of the Han Dynasty, this position has been confirmed. The most important thing is that behind Liu Chuang, there is also a huge network of relationships.
How big is this network?
Yuan Tan doesn't know very well, but judging from Zheng Xuanguan Ning's support for Liu Chuang without any scruples, the power of this network cannot be underestimated.
And. Liu Chuang's courage is outstanding.
can defeat Lu Bu twice, no matter whether he fights more or less, or uses tricks, he won Lu Bu after all.
Yuan Tan is very greedy for this force!
If he can get Xun Chen's assistance, the support of the Yingchuan clan, plus Liu Chuang's force and the network behind him, he can guarantee that he can save the defeat in a short period of time and gain the upper hand in the battle with Yuan Shang.
Yuan Tan got this sentence. Suddenly I felt much more comfortable.
He said softly, "Don't worry, sir, I'm here." It will not make Meng Yan suffer. ”
"Then, on behalf of Meng Yan, I will thank the eldest son."
A deal, completed in this gentle drizzle.
When Xun Chen returned home, he received a letter from Xun Kuang, explaining the situation in detail.
Seeing Xun Dan being suppressed by Liu Chuang, Xun Chen was distressed and a little happy. Distressingly, my daughter was scared and had nightmares...... You fat crush, you want to teach Dan'er a lesson, I have no opinion, how can it be so terrifying? At the same time, he rejoiced. Because in the letter, Xun Kuang's evaluation of Liu Chuang is not low.
Meng Yan is good at using people, and can admonish him, and he is even more decisive.
These three points alone are enough to reassure Xun Chen a lot...... He has always been worried that Liu Chuang can't learn anything because he lives in the people, and he is a simple martial artist. But now it seems that Liu Chuang is not a pure martial artist, and even has some portraits of human masters.
He rejoiced in his heart, and ate two more glasses of water and wine at dinner.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but ask, "Husband, why are you so happy?" ”
"Dan'er has a letter, she's fine over there."
"Huh?"
"Yuan Yin said, Meng Yan is quite talented, he is a person who can achieve great things, and I am happy for my old friends."
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she was a little disdainful.
"How old is Yuan Yin, and what do you know?
Whether he can achieve great things or not, it's not something he can see...... I'm not saying that Meng Yan is bad, but to be honest, with his little strength, what big can he do? If there are no soldiers, there will be no more than a few generals. The advisors around him are also not famous...... Is it a big deal? ”
Mrs. Chen shook her head, "I'm afraid it's difficult." ”
Who knows, after these words came out, Xun Chen remembered one thing.
"Madam, you're right, Meng Yan's side is indeed short of a few available people."
He thought for a while, and suddenly said, "I remember that years ago, you said that your nephew was promoted to Maocai? ”
"Do you mean a long article?"
Xun Chen nodded, "What happened later." ”
Mrs. Chen sighed and said, "Although Changwen was promoted to Maocai, he originally wanted to get rid of the Zhecheng Order, but he didn't succeed.
The last time I wrote to him, my brother said that he was going to take him to Xuzhou...... Youruo, what are you asking about this? I wouldn't agree. ”
Mrs. Chen seemed to react and understood what Xun Chen meant.
Who knows, Xun Chen said with a shy smile: "Madam, who did Yuan Fang go to Xuzhou?"
Yuan Highway? Now he has become a thief, and sooner or later he will die; It's not Yuan Highway, is it Lu Bu? I don't think Yuan Fang will be willing to destroy his reputation. ”
"This ......"
"There is no way out to Xuzhou.
Whether it is Yuan Shu or Lu Bu, they are not masters.
Yuan Fang I is smart, how can he be confused for a while? Besides, he and Ziqi are also good friends, why not go to Beihai to help the son of the deceased? ”
"How dare you think about it!"
Mrs. Chen's voice suddenly raised, and she was extremely high-pitched.
"My brother was no longer satisfied, and he was also a servant...... It's good that you actually let him run to work for Liu Chuang, can he afford it? ”
"Why can't you afford to eat?"
Xun Chen's face sank, "Kang Chenggong can help Meng Yan, You'an and Genju, and even if he doesn't know Ziqisu, don't he also pull out his sword to help?" Madam, don't forget, Ziqi is from Yingchuan, and Meng Yan is the only bloodline of the Liu family in Yingchuan. Think about how many Yingchuan scholars did Ziqi help when he was proud? Why is it that after he was in trouble, he had only blood and bones, but he didn't see half of the Yingchuan people standing up to help?
On the contrary, Zheng Kangcheng took the lead in testifying for Meng Yan, and I have no believers up and down Yingchuan? ”
The more Xun Chen spoke, the more angry he became. His voice turned red.
Mrs. Chen closed her mouth. She was still reluctant to do so. But he didn't dare to be stubborn with Xun Chen anymore.
At this time, Xun Chen could not be refuted.
"So what do you say?"
Xun Chen thought for a while, "Forget it, I'll write to Yuan Fang in person."
I don't believe it, the huge Yingchuan, is there no one who believes in it? If I don't go to Changwen, I will write to others, in short, I can't watch Meng Yan fight alone in Beihai Country. Zheng Kangcheng can draw a knife to help. I am up and down Yingchuan, and no one is willing to come forward. ”
Mrs. Chen secretly complained in her heart, she was really talkative just now.
If I had known about this situation, I wouldn't have said those words.
Now, instead of belittling Liu Chuang, it has aroused Xun Chen's anger.
While remorseful, she gritted her teeth again, and squeezed out a sentence for a long time, "Husband, when are you going to let Dan'er go home?" ”
"Huh?"
"She's a girl's house. After running away for more than ten days, how can you, the father, ignore it? ”
"I don't care...... Isn't Dan'er quite happy in Gaomi? ”
"But she's a daughter's family after all."
"Hmm. That's just as well. ”
Xun Chen twisted his beard and thought for a moment, "That's it, I'll write a letter and ask Meng Yan to send her back." ”
Lonely men and widows all the way down, what is this?
However, Mrs. Chen suddenly woke up and looked at Xun Chen vigilantly, "Husband, what do you mean...... Do you want to come to Qi County fat? ”
"yes, the last time I saw him, he was a kid.
In the past ten years, I really look like looking at what Fat Chuang looked like back then. ”
After that, Xun Chen smiled.
But Mrs. Chen was so angry that she wanted to slap herself in the mouth.
If Liu Chuang is coming, doesn't it mean that this family affair is no longer able to be turned around?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Chen Gong, Gao Shun?"
Liu Chuang looked at the information sent from Dongwu County and felt confused.
"Why did Chen Gong come before?"
He never expected that Lu Bu would suddenly send Chen Gong to visit.
I can't help but that Chen Gong is here, and there is a Gao Shun...... Maybe in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Gao Shun is not a particularly outstanding character, but only shows loyalty. But Liu Chuang knew that this Gao Shun was definitely a top-level military training talent in the Three Kingdoms era, which should not be underestimated.
It is recorded in "Heroes" that Gao Shun is innocent and majestic, brave and wise.
No alcohol, no gifts. Lu Bu also knew that this person was loyal, but he was unwilling to use it. Because Gao Shun often advised Lu Bu: Be wise and think carefully. Maybe it's because of his loyalty, Lu Bu always feels a little uncomfortable with Gao Shun...... Later, Hao Meng rebelled, and Lu Bu became even more estranged from Gao Shun.
Gao Shun's subordinates, more than 700 soldiers, numbered 1,000 people.
The armor and fighting equipment are all refined and neat, and each attack is broken, which is called the trap camp.
In the pre-Three Kingdoms era, there were several military trainers.
Yuan Shao's Xiandeng battalion commander Lu Yi is counted as one, Liu Bei's Bai'er elite general Chen Zhi is counted as one, and Gao Shun is also counted as one.
In contrast, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard ride had not yet taken shape at this time.
And his tiger and leopard cavalry commander, in a certain way, can not be compared with Koji Yi and Gao Shun. is Chen Dao, in this period, it is far inferior to the two of Koji Yi and Gaoshun. It's a pity that Koji Yi is arrogant and indulgent, which is suspicious of Yuan Shao, and it is estimated that he will soon be harmed by Yuan Shao.
After the death of Lu Yi, Yuan Shao incorporated the Xiandeng camp into the Euphorbia, and handed it over to Zhang He Gaolan, one of the four pillars of Hebei.
The soldiers are still the same soldiers, but they are no longer comparable to the first to enter the camp.
In the end, Zhang He Gaolan was defeated by Cao Cao and surrendered to Cao Cao......
In short, Liu Chuang is no stranger to Gao Shun.
In later generations, many lovers of the Three Kingdoms also admired Gao Shun and often lamented Gao Shun's fate.
If Gao Shun can survive, I'm afraid that the trapped camp will be even stronger.
So when Liu Chuang saw Gao Shun's name in the worship post, he couldn't help but feel very surprised.
"Bell!"
"What?"
Liu Chuang wandered around and came to the back house.
saw Lu Lan carrying a sword and teaching Xun Dan swordsmanship.
After a period of getting along, the relationship between the two little girls has become extremely close.
My sister and sister screamed all day long, as if they were kissing...... Xun Dan is still a little afraid of Liu Chuang, and even still has nightmares.
So Lu Lan taught Xun Dan: "You are still too weak to know how to use your fists and feet."
It's better to do this, I'll teach you swordsmanship, and when the time comes, if Liu Fatzi dares to bully you, you will cut him with a sword, and see if he dares to bully you? ”
When he heard this, he couldn't stand up with a straight smile.
She sued Liu Chuang about this matter, which made Liu Chuang even more headache.
This Lu Lan is really a little ancestor...... Ever since she came, the family has been restless. You scold her, she talks back, if you are a little harsh, the little tears will flow out, and if you bring Liu Chuang to her mouth, you will hold it back. Now with the addition of Xun Dan, it is even more unscrupulous. You said that if Xun Chen knew about this, what would her baby daughter look like dancing with knives and guns here.
But don't say it!
Since Xun Dan began to learn swordsmanship with Lu Lan, he no longer has nightmares.
As a result, Xun Dan's interest in learning swords became more and more great, and he pulled Lu Lan almost every day to practice in the back house.
In Liu Chuang's opinion, she didn't learn much swordsmanship, but she destroyed a back garden. There's no way, whoever made her teacher is also a second knife. Even if Lu Lan is Lu Bu's daughter, her swordsmanship looks like dancing no matter how you look at it.
Well, Sword Dance......
Lu Lan was enthusiastically teaching Xun Dan swordsmanship, and when she heard Liu Chuang shouting at her, she ran over quickly.
"Bell, inquire about something...... Do you recognize Gao Shun? ”
Lu Lan was stunned, and then nodded and said, "You mean Uncle Xiaogong?" ”
"Exactly."
"How can you not recognize it...... Uncle Xiaogong treated me very well, and my sword was still a gift that he found someone to build for me and give me. ”
However, Lu Lan is also very smart.
"Fat Liu, what are you asking for?"
Liu Fatzi, Liu Fatty, Liu Fat...... I'm called robust!
Liu Chuang has a doting love for Lu Lan from the heart.
He couldn't tell him how he felt this feeling, as if this doting feeling had become stronger since he hooked her up that day.
Therefore, even if Lu Lan opened his mouth and closed his mouth to call him Liu Fatzi, he was not really angry. Moreover, Lu Lan also knows how to measure, and when there are outsiders, he will never call him 'Liu Fatzi'. For this, Liu Chuang is already grateful, where can he dare to blame again?
"Just received a letter from Tobu."
Liu Chuang looked at Lu Lan and said, "Lu Wenhou sent Chen Gong as an envoy to visit Gao Shun...... They have already passed through Tobu and will arrive at Gaomi in two days. (To be continued.) )
