Chapter 16: My Lord Is Missing
Cao Cao ordered Shixun to go to lobby Lu Bu, but Shixun didn't dare to agree, and it was not easy to refuse, looking around at the people in the tent, no one helped him, and no one helped him to relieve the siege, so he couldn't help but stay in the local area, and countless thoughts instantly turned in his mind:
I have been engaged in diplomacy for so many years - and in this era, it may only be said that it is a "vertical and horizontal technique" - and I have some experience and experience, if it is put in the future generations, let alone meet Lu Bu, even if British and Soviet diplomats go to meet Hitler, then there is nothing to worry about. However, in those days, there were no diplomatic practices, there was no "diplomatic immunity", and as envoys, there were not a few people who were beheaded on the spot.
There is a saying - "two countries fight, do not behead", under normal circumstances, it is when the envoy is pushed out to be beheaded, it will be so high-pitched and shouted, and then the egg, the head will definitely fall to the ground......
Shi Xun had met Lu Bu three times before. The first time was when Yu Yang greeted the Son of Heaven, Lu Bu took the initiative to call him to meet him in front of the horse, no matter how his liver trembled, he had to go; The second time was in Huayin, Jia Xu designed to make Shi Xun say that Lu Bu would quit, but he was calculated and almost took Jia Wenhe's life - that time, Lu Zijing was there, helping to analyze the current situation and weigh the pros and cons, and no one could negotiate at this time.
The third time was the battle of attacking Chang'an, and then Lu Bu broke out in the banquet, and killed Ma Wan with a wine bottle. To this day, Ma Wan's skull is shattered and blood is still flashing back in Shixun's mind from time to time, and that time he was so scared that he almost (peed his pants!).
Although Lu Bu is fierce, he is a person in the system after all, and there are rules to follow in theory, and at first Shixun was not very afraid of him - it is not difficult to convince this big boss. No wonder the original history. He will be toyed with by Chen Qi's father and son. On this timeline, it can be said that I have rubbed it with my hands many times. But after the scene of Ma Play's death, he really scared Shixun - that guy said that if he kills, he will kill, and there is no precursor, and he won't take his life in anger?!
I'm not afraid of smart people, I'm not afraid of fools, I'm afraid of bastards. Since then, Shi Xun has been secretly timid towards this Lu Wenhou in his heart, and feels that it is better to stay away from him.
But who would have thought that the shameless frustration would declare a personal vendetta and want to push himself in front of Lu Bu again!
Now it is not comparable to in Luoyang, Huayin, or Chang'an, and now it is opposite to Lu Bu's array, at this time, it is time to let Taishi Ziyi go to the front of the battle to challenge, and not let himself punish the ability of the tongue in vain. It's a pity that Tai Shici is no longer alive, and there are so many generals in Cao Ying. There is no one who can be Lu Bu's opponent. It's Xun's chagrin, I should have plotted to kill Liu Bei earlier. Then the gatekeepers, Zhang, and Zhao received their hands, so why be afraid of him Lu Fengxian?!
Well, the regret medicine has nowhere to touch, besides, did he really have a chance to kill Liu Bei before? The big-eared thief is a fish with a fish, slippery and hands-free, from Qingzhou to Xuzhou to Jingzhou and then to Yizhou, as long as he wants to run, Cao Cao can't catch up with him at all - finally caused today's big trouble.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and when he raised his eyes again, he saw that Cao Cao's originally small eyes were still flashing, full of anticipation. Yes Xun didn't dare to delay any longer, so he had to grit his teeth and arch his hand: "Xun Chu came here, he didn't know the war situation, and I don't know what to say." β
In order for the generals to know the time, location, and people, in fact, it is the same as playing lipsticks, I just ran to the front line, and I basically have a black eye on the comparison of military strength and the political situation of the two sides, how can I lobby Lu Bu? If you want to send me to take this exam, you have to give me enough revision materials and time to revise.
Cao Cao nodded again and again when he heard this: "Since you should first familiarize Hongfu with the previous situation, you can send it." Then he didn't forget to add: "However, Lu Bu will be ready to go to war in five days." "That means, you'll only have five days to revise at most.
Shi Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said: "I heard that the lord would return to Lu Bu, and I didn't expect to shake his heart...... "If you can say Lu Bu back, naturally I don't need to take any more risks-" Lu Bu, the hero of the world, I am afraid that I can't move it with words......" Seeing Cao Cao's eyebrows twisted, as if he was about to have a seizure, he hurriedly promised: "Xun must do his best to say it." Correct...... Xi Yandan plotted to assassinate the king of Qin, and also sent two envoys, and now one person must help, which is feasible. β
Stretching out his hand, he said: "Please Lao Zifu." "Don't run, come with me!
Frustration Zifu's face was dazed: "I am not a good speaker, nor do I have the courage of Qin Wuyang, how can I help him?" β
Shi Xun smiled coldly: "I have my own plan, Zifu don't quit." β
Shi Xun prepared for three whole days, thoroughly understood the situation on the front line, and then reluctantly bid farewell to Cao Cao, and took eight of his cronies, including Lao Jing, to leave the Wei camp, cross the Yongshui River in a small boat, and go to the Liangzhou army. He deliberately went through the northernmost point, if he went a little south, he was accidentally bumped into by the people of Yizhou first, Liu Bei categorically couldn't tolerate himself to lobby Lu Bu!
After crossing the river, not far away, there was a column of Liangzhou sentinels galloping in front of him, and asked who was coming. It is Xun's self-respecting identity, and he can't talk to a small soldier, he ordered Jing Huanxiao in advance, and Lao Jing shouted from afar: "It's Xun in the service, and the order of the Dynasty is to see General Lu!" β
Yes Xun deliberately went as a Han official, I think you Lu Bu is also a Han official, I am equal to the palace as a minister, you shouldn't have such a big temper to kill me, right?
The Liangzhou sentinels lined up left and right, each holding a bow and arrow in hand, and slowly approached. Only one of them shouted: "Stop, wait for me to go and report." "Disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Yeshun had to wait immediately. Logically speaking, he claimed that he was "ordered by the Dynasty to see General Lu", which means that he came to announce the decree with the imperial edict, and Lu Bu should come to greet him in person. Sure enough, the time was not long, and I saw the smoke and dust in the west, and hundreds of horses came roaring, and one of them gave up his hand from afar: "Hongfu, why is it too late." "I knew you were coming.
It's Xun who took a look, it's over, this person is not Lu Bu, this guy is clearly Chen Gong!
Chen Gongtai has eaten a trench, grown wise, and has already ordered to go down, if Cao Ying has any more envoys, they must all be reported to me first, and I will be punished, and they will not be directly led to the lord. He estimated that Cao Cao himself could not move Lu Bu, and maybe he would send other eloquents to comeβthe most likely was that it was Hongfu! I don't know if Shixun is in Cao Ying now?
What did you hear this time, it was Xun Xun who came to the court? Chen Gong couldn't help but sneer. The heart says you thought you changed a hat. Will you be able to come before my Lord? It can refer to white and black. Reckless tongues? Well done Spring and Autumn Dream!
So he didn't inform Lu Bu, and directly led hundreds of cavalry from his headquarters to go to the river to block Shixun. In any case, Shi Xun is also an important minister of the imperial court, and he is a disciple of Zhengmen, and he is famous all over the world, so it is impossible for Chen Gong to lift a knife and behead him on the spot. So many people are watching. But if he goes out with a little wind, does he Chen Gongtai still want to mix in Shilin? If you change Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Dong Chengji, maybe you can really get that hand, and if you change Lu Bu, there is also a fifty percent possibility of sudden spicy hands, Chen Gong is a traditional scholar after all, after all, he has a black heart, but his face is not very thick.
So he had to come to block Shixun in person - if Lu Bu asked afterwards, he would be fooled with the sentence "If you don't see each other". If this is killed on the spot, I won't be able to explain it to Lu Bu - okay, you just persuaded me to crusade against the traitor. The revival of the Han family killed the angel in a blink of an eye. This person with different hearts and mouths, what's the use of keeping you?!
As soon as he saw the Liangzhou cavalry coming up, Lao Jing first panicked, and the long knife was unsheathed. Shi Xun hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't move!" "Just kidding, there are only a few of us, and there is Yongshui behind you, you and the other party are dead, can you have half a chance of winning? You are giving Chen Gong an excuse to kill me for nothing! Hurry up, put away your weapons for me!
Then he rode his horse forward slightly, and hugged his fist on horseback: "Gongtai, don't come to harm, right?" Chen Gong approached the place where Shixun was half an arrow, and also stopped his mount, sneered slightly, and was about to give up his hand, but saw that Shixun suddenly threw the stirrup and dismounted, and then shook it again.
Chen Gong instinctively jumped off the horse. In any case, Shixun is also an important minister of the court with 2,000 stones, and his rank is higher than himself, and the reputation of Shilin is also louder than himself, so there is no reason why he salutes the ground and stands on horseback. Chen Gong got off the horse, and only then did he return the salute, and it was Xun Yi who lifted his skirt and suddenly knelt down, making Chen Gong have no choice but to kneel.
So the two bowed to each other and exchanged big salutes. The kneeling and bowing ceremony was originally a common ritual between scholars, but since the Zhou Dynasty, it has gradually been used less and less, and informal occasions do not have to be so cumbersome - in later generations, it is even more simply not possible to do this ceremony between the generations, and only between two people with a large identity gap, there will be a person who kneels in person. If Shi Xun knelt down with a "snap" and said that I was here to surrender, then Chen Gong could accept it immediately, but he was clearly just the chief of the joke, and Chen Gong had no choice but to return the courtesy.
Just made a fuss, and when he stood up again, Chen Gong suddenly found that he had nothing to say. Originally, I was going to laugh at Shi Xun, saying that you want to come to lobby my father-in-law, but I have already expected that this way will not work, so you should hurry up and go home. As a result, Xun suddenly made a big salute, and completely interrupted Chen Gongtai's feelings and words, and he couldn't remember what he was going to say.
Seeing Chen Gong's slightly embarrassed expression, Shi Xun couldn't help but smile secretly: "Small, you are still a little tender when you play with me." Chen Gong is wise and scheming, and can be regarded as a first-class figure in the world, but compared to other first-class strategists, he lacks quick wit, which means that the on-the-spot reaction is not fast enough. In fact, Xun is not a person with quick wisdom, but as soon as he came to this mission, he had already made all preparations, and simulated various possibilities in his heart, even if he didn't see Lu Bu, he met Chen Gong first, and he had a plan for this; Second, he can't get up with a big plan, but a little trick is a roll of his eyes.
As a result, Chen Gong didn't speak, and Shi Xun didn't speak at all, and the two just looked at each other. After a while, Chen Gongtai finally reacted, so he coughed slightly: "Hongfu is here...... "Do you want to say that you have to lobby my lord here?" As a result, the enemy did not move, I did not move, as soon as he opened his mouth, Shi Xun immediately interrupted: "Xun is edicted by the Son of Heaven, and General Lu is added to the official, please see you in the public platform." β
Chen Gong smiled coldly: "Hugh has to lie to me, and he has to ...... to persuade me to withdraw from the army?" But he was interrupted by Shi Xun again: "Xun An dares to lie to deceive the public platform, and the edict is in his arms, and it is a pity that he can only read it out when he sees General Lu." β
Small! If you play tricks, you will send me two streets, and if you play tricks, you will send me a whole Pacific Ocean!
Chen Gong's face turned red, and he stomped his feet fiercely: "Go ahead, my lord is gone!" "Simply, I won't talk nonsense with you, just hit people. (To be continued......) R1292
