Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
There is no need for Shikuan to stop Shixun and prevent him from contacting the Cao family, because he can't stop him at all. But if you want to stop it when you can't stop it, there is only one explanation: I just want to release the danger signal to disrupt your mind.
So Cao Hong said that this was a "plan to rebellious the army" - "Hongfu can know who is the envoy of Tao and summoned Liu Bei to Xu?" Who made Liu Beitun take root? And who said that the king should be the heir of the potter? ”
Shi Xun was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't it Lu Zhu?" Cao Hong shook his head: "It's Xiapi Xiangzhu Rong Wei Ming." ”
Zhen Rong is a passing soy sauce player in the romance, saying that he once joined forces with Liu Xiang to resist Sun Ce's attack, and after the defeat, he ran with Liu Miao to join Liu Biao. Even in the history books, he was a small person (of course, only compared to big figures like Cao Cao and Liu Bei), but Xun still remembers his deeds - without him, because this guy has played a very important role in the history of the development of Chinese Buddhism.
Zhen Rong is a devout Buddhist, he first took refuge in Tao Qian, Tao Qian appointed him to be the minister of the country of Xia Pi, and also ordered him to supervise the transportation of money and grain in the three counties of Xiapi, Pengcheng and Guangling, who knew that Zhen Rong took most of the money and grain to be greedy, all used to build Buddhist temples, and cast bronze Buddha statues painted with gold paint, and even reduced taxes and labor to attract people to join the church, it is said that they came to him and joined the order, as many as 5,000 households. He also often carried out "Buddha bathing" activities, rewarded the people with fasting meals, and more than 10,000 people came to visit in order to seek food. In this way, a large amount of government funds are wasted on religious activities.
However, Zhenrong believed in Buddhism on the surface, but what he actually did was not close to Buddhism's preaching of pure heart and few desires, happiness and benevolence and prohibition of killing - embezzlement of public funds, and later Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Zhenrong took more than 10,000 people and 3,000 horses, abandoned his post and fled, and ran to Guangling to attach to Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu set up a banquet and entertained Zhenrong, who wanted Zhenrong to drink too much wine, and suddenly the evil was born to the side of the guts, slaughtered Zhao Yu, who was known as a clear name, and also plundered the soldiers in Guangling County. Then he passed through Moling, killed Xue Li, the prime minister of Pengcheng, and once joined forces with Liu Xuan, and turned around to slaughter Zhu Hao, the Taishou of Yuzhang under Liu Xuan. Liu Miao was furious and sent troops to attack Zhenrong, who was defeated and fled into the mountains and was killed by the mountain people.
In a word, this guy is a complete bully and bandit under the guise of a Buddhist! As the most famous critic of this era, Xu Shao Xu Zijiang, said: "Rong Rong out of the army, regardless of the name." "It means that this guy never cares about the name when he starts the army, and he doesn't care about the wind and criticism, and there is no lower limit to his discipline at all.
Of course, such a big set, in Shi Xun's head only turned a little around, he continued to listen to Cao Hong continued: "Di Weiming is a fellow villager and friend of Tao Yuanjun, and he is deeply trusted, but before that, he only supervised transportation affairs and did not interfere in state affairs. This time he suddenly came to Tancheng, set up a potter and accepted Liu Bei, and everyone thought that he wanted to live with my Cao and Moose. This is Cao's worry, but also for the Elk's worry, its weight is not my own, so I can not care about it for the time being. Now Lu Zi Zhong is Shu Mian to stop Hongfu you, to warn me that he has conspired with the Elk Clan, or that the Elk Rong was originally a henchman of the Elk Clan. In this way, I am alone, and in a hurry, I may do something unspeakable......"
Yes Xun roughly understood what Cao Hong meant. Even if Di Rong suddenly interjected and wanted to sit on an equal footing with the Moose and Cao families, after all, the balance of power between Moose and Cao had not been broken, and the Cao family would not be too worried - as long as the two families joined forces, were they still afraid of him being a Di Rong? But in fact, Zhu Rong and Lu Zhu are one, and this time the balance is completely tilted in favor of the Elk family, and the Cao family has to take action if they want to save the situation.
Now that Tao Qian has not hung up, even if the Elk and Cao families are fighting, they are all competing in secret, and they dare not play any tricks on the surface. Lu Zhu temporarily gained the upper hand, and deliberately passed the news to the Cao family: Look, Zhenrong is my person, don't make a mistake. I'm already in the box with the ball, are you just staring and waiting for me to shoot? Will you be forced to take risks?
Cao Hong nodded and said: "Tao makes Jun set up a pottery merchant as his heir, I am afraid that my Cao family will be dissatisfied, if my brother makes a reckless move at this time, he will be jealous of the envoy - I'm afraid, this is what Lu Zhu wants to see the most, right?" ”
It's Xun Xin who said that he really deserves to be a "slanderous villain", this flowery intestine is entangled, if I don't come to him today, I will probably really let Lu Zhu and Shikuan be deceived, and he will not be aware of being used as a gunman. But what is the use of being able to see through this? - "Do you just stand still and let them run rampant?" ”
Cao Hong shook his head lightly: "The urgent task now is to drive Liu Bei out of Xiangben......
Early the next morning, Shi Xun went to meet Tao Qian and presented Cao Cao's letter, affirming the three things that Xun Yu had decided. Old man Tao's complexion was obviously not good, so he just listened and didn't speak. In the end, Xun said: "Xun has been removed from the service today, and if he wants to marry the Cao family girl on a later date, he also asks Tao Envoy Jun to give permission." When Tao Qian heard this, he seemed to be in good spirits, and said with a smile: "You can choose your own date, why bother the old man to agree." In short, a cup of wedding wine that day is indispensable for the old man. ”
When Shixun went out, Tao Qian looked around at the ministers and asked them: "Cao Mengde sent money and grain, and continued to borrow cattle, that's it, what does he mean by stationing troops in Peidong?" ”
Lu Zhu looked at Cao Hong, lowered his head and refused to speak. Cao Hongxin said You must think that I am going to help Cao Cao say good things, so you want to strike later, right? But how can you, a dealer who can pull calculations and abacus beads, guess what Cao is thinking? He straightened his waist and arched his hand: "I'm afraid that Cao Cao's move is to covet me Xuzhou!" ”
Tao Qian was shocked when he heard this: "Zhong Hui's words, what is the basis for this?!" ”
Cao Hong glanced at Lu Zhu, who also looked quite stunned, and said with a sneer: "Make the king old, Cao Cao knows it, and now he has an heir, it means to retreat...... In fact, what he really meant: Cao Cao sees that you are in a hurry to determine the heir, and it is estimated that you will not live long, but it is not good to say this in front of Tao Qian, everyone can tacitly say it-"Once the king returns to the forest, who belongs to Xuzhou?" The eldest prince is not famous, can he keep Xuzhou? When the time comes, I'm afraid that Cao Cao, Yuan Tan in the north, and Yuan Shu in the south will all want to come and get a piece of the pie, right? ”
Tao Qian has always been most worried about this matter, and hurriedly asked: "What can I do?" ”
Cao Hong said: "In order to make the eldest prince able to secure Xuzhou one day, so that Jun can make Zang Xuangao move the Lang evil army north to block Yuan Tan, so that the foolish brother can lead the army to settle in Guangling to block Yuan Shu, and then make Liu Xuande move to Pengcheng to block Cao Cao's ......"
This is clearly to drive Liu Bei away, Lu Zhu was shocked when he heard this, and blurted out: "Don't ......" Cao Hong stared at him coldly: "Why not?" Lu Zhu was stunned for a moment, and had to make an excuse now: "Liu Xuande first came to our state, the men and horses are weak, and the armor is incomplete, how can he resist the Yanzhou tiger and wolf army?" ”
Cao Hongxin said I guessed that you were in a hurry, and you could only come up with this kind of waste reason, so you are falling into Cao's trap - "Cao Cao attacked Runan before, and Yuan Shu closed the camp and did not dare to fight, which shows that Cao is strong and Yuan is weak." Since this is the case, then let the foolish brother guard Pengcheng in the west and let Liu Xuande go to Guangling. With Zhao Yuanda (Zhao Yu) entangled the hearts of the people, and with Di Weiming as his backing, although Xuande was outnumbered, it should not be difficult to stop Yuan Shu. "You don't want Liu Bei to go to Pengcheng, okay, I'll drive him farther away!"
This time, Lu Zhu was even more at a loss, and muttered and argued: "Yes, but...... Liu Xuande is finally a guest general, how can Zhao Yuanda and Di Weiming work together with him...... "What Zizhong said is very true," Cao Hong arched his hand to Tao Qian again, "Then please make Jun Xingwen, call Liu Xuande as the captain of Guangling, and make the status of the monarch and minister, and then Xuande's soldiers can be of great use!" ”
Lu Zhuxin said that this time it was completely over.
Last night, Cao Hong and Shi Xun analyzed the current situation in Xuzhou together, Cao Hong said, Elk Zhong is good at planning but neglected to adapt, this time he made a friendship, supported the pottery merchant on the throne, and called Liu Bei to strengthen it, one link is closely linked to the other, this is definitely not a strategy he can think of. It is estimated that there are capable people behind him, maybe they are in Liu Bei's curtain.
It was Xunxin who said that although according to the history books, Lu Zhu really has no ability, but he can finally fight with you in Xuzhou, and you can't pinch him to death, which means that you are only as strong as him, so don't rely on him here to elevate yourself. Of course, he didn't say this on his face, but just reminded Cao Hong: "It's careless...... Don't be careless. ”
Cao Hong smiled at him: "Hongfu must have thought that Elk Zizhong can not only fight against my brother, but also have his advantages?" "Is Xun Xin saying that I can't read minds by relying on this "slanderous villain"? I heard Cao Hong say again: "Elk Zhong's family wealth is hundreds of millions, Tao makes the king unavoidable, a certain reason and a snake, he is not in a hurry, why should he die and break the net?" "That means, because Tao Qian can't do without Lu Zhu's financial resources, so I have been putting up with him, but what he has done recently has made me unbearable - do I really think that with his two brushes, can he be my opponent Cao Zhonghui?
As soon as he said this, Shixun reluctantly believed three points - after all, the name of "slanderous villain" is not something that any cat or dog can afford. So he asked Cao Hong: "What plan does Jun have to make Lu Zhu retreat?" Cao Hong stretched out three fingers: "Hongfu and listen to a certain word and three strategies......"
The next day, when Shixun met Tao Qian, Cao Hong began to use his first strategy. This first strategy is also divided into two aspects, one is to drive Liu Bei out of Xiangben County, the farther away the better, and the other is to determine the status of Liu Bei's subordinates.
Later, why was Lu Bu scolded as a "three-surnamed slave"? On the surface, this word is a complete slander, Lu Bu has never been surnamed Lu, he has never changed his name, he has changed his surname, what are the "three surnames"? But from the deeper meaning, it is right - Lu Buchu was Ding Yuan's general, and later assassinated Ding Yuan and returned to Dong Zhuo, he and Dong Zhuo were about father and son, but they conspired with Wang Yun and others to kill Dong Zhuo. Monarchs and ministers are like fathers and sons, disobedient to the way of monarchs and ministers, and the ethics of fathers and sons, that is great disloyalty and filial piety, who cares if you have changed your surname?
Some people said that in fact, Liu Bei's lifelong behavior was even more unbearable than Lu Bu - he was first the general of Gongsun Zhan, but he turned his back on Gongsun and voted for Tao Qian; Later, he joined forces with Cao Cao to fight against Lu, turned around and attacked Xuzhou again, turning his back on Cao Cao; voted for Yuan Shao, but before the victory or defeat of the Guandu battle was decided, he switched to Liu Biao; In the end, at the invitation of Liu Zhang, he entered Yizhou, said that he would turn his face, and he became angry with Liu Zhang. Therefore, Liu Bei not only has three surnames, but also four and five surnames.
In fact, you can't say that, because Liu Bei didn't follow Gongsun Zan at the beginning, and later he was not a serious subordinate to Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang, but a guest general, so his behavior can be said to be "unjust", but he cannot be said to be "disloyal". Because of this, Cao Hong wanted to make it clear that Liu Bei was Tao Qian's subordinate general, and the political risk of Liu Bei usurping Tao Qian's position and becoming self-reliant was even more than doubled!
