Chapter 135: Confession
Have you ever seen a watermelon smashed?
Wei Yuanjin's head was like a watermelon smashed with a stick, and his brain was splashed.
Yuan Shang stepped forward, and before he could open his mouth to stop it, a puddle of blood mixed with brains sprayed on his face, which frightened Yuan Shang and stopped immediately.
He was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed greatly.
His legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a poof, and vomited.
The corpse of Wei Yuanjin fell straight in front of him, causing him to sit on the ground.
"You ......"
Yuan Shang's face turned pale and pointed at Liu Chuang.
And Liu Chuang's face was expressionless, he only glanced at Wei Yuanjin's corpse, and smiled slightly, "I'm really sorry, I couldn't stop my hand just now." ”
"You, you, you ......"
Yuan Shang wanted to scold, but for some reason, when it came to his mouth, he couldn't scold. The unrecognizable corpse of Wei Yuanjin fell in front of him, and the strong smell of blood made Yuan Shang, who had been clothed and eaten since childhood, feel an inexplicable sense of fear in his heart.
This guy, this guy is a killer!
Yuan Shang is so big, it's not like a dead person has never seen it.
But how could he have ever seen such a death like Yuanjin? So much so that he was completely unprepared, and when he faced the dead body, he couldn't say a complete word. A fear of death haunted him. His gaze shifted from Liu Chuang's body to the bloody eight-tone vertebrae, Yuan Shang couldn't help it, swallowed his saliva, and felt that his throat and eyes were dry for a while, as if he was on fire.
"This is the master?"
Liu Chuang sneered, and the eight tones slammed to the ground, "Zhang Niu'er!" ”
Zhang Niu'er hurriedly stepped forward with two servants and took over the eight-tone vertebrae from Liu Chuang's hands.
The three of them showed admiration in their eyes.
"Good!"
Yuan Tan finally opened his mouth and shouted hello.
Liu Chuang's vertebrae. Even if it is a petition for submission.
Regardless of whether he really takes a stand or not, this vertebrae, between Liu Chuang and Yuan Shang, I am afraid there is no room for any turnaround.
Isn't this just taking a stand!
Yuan Tan was overjoyed in his heart, and the emphasis of his words also changed, he took a few steps forward to meet Liu Chuang, pulled Liu Chuang's arm and said, "Meng Yanfei's name is indeed worthy of its name. Before, I didn't quite believe that Meng Yan could defeat Lu Bu. Seeing it today, Meng Yan is comparable to that tiger. ”
In the words, there is a sense of intimacy.
Xun Chen sighed in his heart, secretly bitter.
Liu Chuang's current situation can be regarded as offending Yuan Shang......
What does Yuan Tan think at the moment. It's not like a master, it's more like a flattering villain.
To be honest, this is also the reason why Xun Chen has always been reluctant to really assist Yuan Tan, because in his opinion, Yuan Tan's pattern is too small.
"Meng Yan traveled a long distance and fought hard. I must be tired. ”
Xun Chen stepped forward and said, "Eldest prince, it's better to let him go back and rest, if there is anything, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
Yuan Tan was in high spirits at this time. didn't care about Xun Chen's words, and immediately said: "What Xun Gong said is very true, Meng Yan should rest first." ”
"No way!"
Yuan Shang finally got rid of that fear, and suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Liu Chuang." said that it was a competition, why did it hurt the killer? ”
didn't wait for Liu Chuang to speak. Yuan Tan said unhappily: "Xianfu, I have already said before, the sword and gun have no eyes, and it doesn't matter if you live or die."
Why do you want to regret it now? You've had enough trouble today...... If you are not convinced, we will return to my father and ask him to decide. ”
"You ......"
Yuan Shang glared at Yuan Tan, so angry that his chest kept rising and falling.
And Liu Chuang stopped talking. In fact, by now, he didn't need to say anything more, because he had already shown enough sincerity to make Yuan Tan feel satisfied. And this, isn't that the purpose of Yuan Tan inviting him here? Now that it has been reached, Yuan Tan will naturally stand on Liu Chuang's side.
From now on, it is the rhythm of the two Yuan's contention.
"Youruo, you take Meng Yan back to rest.
Tomorrow, the Japanese army will discuss the proceedings, and I don't think Meng Yan will have to participate. He came all the way from Gaomi, and he was tired of driving and horses, so he should have a good rest for two days. ”
You Xin Zhongzhi, jump out and say good things at this time.
Xun Chen snorted, glared at Xin Ping, and pulled Liu Chuang away.
"Meng Yan, tomorrow I will send those two horses to the camp."
Xun Chen opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but was gently pulled by Liu Chuang.
He looked at Liu Chuang in surprise, but saw Liu Chuang and said loudly: "Then there is Master Lao." ”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Meng Yan, why are you doing this?"
After getting into the carriage, Xun Chen couldn't hold back any longer, and almost scolded, "Do you know that Yuan Shang is Yuan Gong's favorite child, and he may even become Yuan Gong's heir in the future." If you kill that Yuan Jin today, forget it, why bother to offend the third prince in the end? Do you know that if you do this, you will anger the third son, and in the end, you may even have no place to stand. ”
The so-called love is deep, and hate is cut.
Xun Chen was really angry with Liu Chuang, almost ruthlessly.
If Liu Chuang was really a reckless man, Xun Chen wouldn't say anything.
But he knew that Liu Chuang was definitely not a reckless man. Since he arrived in Beihai, he has endured for more than half a year without making a move, and when he makes a move, he is like a thunderbolt, and he does not give his opponent any power to fight back at all. From this point of view, Liu Chuang is a person who makes up his mind.
But why is he so reckless today and so hostile to Yuan Shang?
Xun Chen scolded and scolded, as if he had come to his senses.
He looked at Liu Chuang, and Liu Chuang looked at him with a smile, the two looked at each other silently, and suddenly Xun Chen let out a long sigh, closed his mouth and stopped talking.
The carriage stopped in front of the Xun Mansion.
Xun Chen held back the fire in his heart and got out of the car.
"Follow me."
He glared at Liu Chuang, and then walked into the mansion door.
"Arrange a place for Meng Yanhucong, and they will live here for a while."
After Xun Chen finished instructing the gatekeeper, he took Liu Chuang inside.
Liu Chuang would not object, and glanced at Zhang Niu'er and the others, followed behind Xun Chen, and laughed with him.
"Fat Liu, why are you here?"
When the two walked through the nave. When I walked into the back house, I saw a group of people walking up the corridor.
One of the girls had sharp eyes, and when she recognized Liu Chuang at a glance, she jumped up and ran over. It's just that when she saw where Xun Chen was, without saying a word, she turned her head and disappeared without a trace. That look, like a mouse seeing a cat, is very afraid of Xun Chen.
Of course, Liu Chuang recognized that the girl was Xun Dan.
But see her like this. I couldn't help but laugh out loud......
Xun Chen's face was red, and he had already made a posture to pose for the majesty of the boss, who knew that Xun Dan was so faceless, and he didn't even have a chance to speak. When this came to his lips, he was held back. Hearing Liu Chuang's laughter, his face sank even more.
"Master, you're back!"
When Mrs. Chen saw Xun Chen coming back, she stepped forward with a smile.
"Meng Yan, come and see your aunt."
Xun Chen finally found a step, hurriedly pointed to it, and then said to Mrs. Chen, "Madam." He's just fat, look at it? ”
Mrs. Chen's face was full of spring breeze, but when she saw Liu Chuang, she couldn't help but turn pale.
Liu Chuang saw it. It didn't feel good.
It seems that this old mother-in-law seems to be a little displeased with him, and it is not easy to deal with it......
"Little nephew Liu Chuang, meet your aunt."
Mrs. Chen was naturally unhappy when she saw Liu Chuang. But this superficial effort still needs to be done. So he forced a laugh and agreed.
"Meng Yan has been staying at home for the past few days, you go and arrange a room for him.
By the way, you follow me to the study. ”
Xun Chen gave an order expressionlessly, how dare Liu Chuang refuse, and hurriedly saluted Mrs. Chen, and left with Xun Chen after confessing his guilt.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Chen was puzzled.
She could see that Xun Chen was not very happy.
It's just that I don't understand what the reason is.
Come to think of it, it was the fat man who provoked the master, if that's the case, it's a good thing...... Hmph, then let him stay at home for two days.
No matter how cranky Mrs. Chen was, Xun Chen took Liu Chuang to the study.
He instructed his family: "No one should come near the study.
If anyone comes, even if it's a lady, stop me...... I have something important to discuss with Meng Yan, and no one is allowed to come over to disturb me. ”
"Whoa!"
Xun Chen saw that his subordinates were gone, so he sat down, looked at Liu Chuang, who was looking around, and coughed.
Liu Chuang hurriedly lowered his head, bent his waist, and looked like he was pleasing to the eye.
"Tell me, what the hell do you think?"
Liu Chuang hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to be honest with Xun Chen.
"The boss thinks that Yuan Shang is today, why is he aggressive?"
"Well...... this"
Xun Chen had a headache. Speaking of this matter, it's really no wonder that Liu Chuang, it was Yuan Shang's repeated provocations that completely angered Liu Chuang. I used to think that this kid was quite stable, but now it seems that ...... I can't say to Fat Chuang, then Yuan Shang wants you and robbed his daughter-in-law?
Therefore, he was bored for a long time before he held back a sentence, "What do you think? ”
"Since I came to Linzi on the order of the eldest prince, it is doomed, and the third prince and I will not be able to go anywhere.
Although I don't quite understand why this third prince is so aggressive, since he clearly wants me to be ugly, how can I be nice to him? Boss, since ancient times, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind presses the east wind, and there is no middle way to choose. The more you want to ride the wall, the more difficult it becomes. No matter how powerful he Yuan Sanshao is, it has nothing to do with me, so why should I care about his feelings? Beihai is adjacent to Qi County, if I make a bad deal, I am afraid that I will not be able to move an inch in Beihai in the future. ”
"What you said makes sense, but after all, it's the third son.
I know you don't have a choice, but why can't you take a stand in a more conciliatory way? Why bother with such drastic means.
Do you know that the third prince is the most favored by Yuan Gong, and the eldest prince may be difficult to compete with him. ”
In this world, the wind on the pillow is the strongest.
Who let Yuan Tan's old lady die early, so that he couldn't be like Yuan Shang, there was an old lady who was pampered and taken care of by Yuan Shao's side......
"Your actions today are bound to turn against the third prince, so why bother?"
Liu Chuang opened his mouth, a little unsure of how to answer.
Xun Chen glanced at him, got up and walked out of the door, and after making sure that there was no one else around, he returned to the house and pointed to the mat with his hand.
"Sit down and talk."
Liu Chuang knelt down respectfully and sat down, "Boss." Why do you see the general trend of the world? ”
"Huh?"
Xun Chen was stunned, then his eyes narrowed, and a rather curious expression appeared on his face.
"Meng Yan, what is your profile?"
"As I said, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. The situation in the near north has become clearer and clearer. Cao Cao obeyed the Son of Heaven to order the princes to occupy the name of righteousness, and the climate has been completed. Whether it's Huainan Yuanshu. Or Xuzhou Lu Bu...... None of them, including me, are his opponents. The reason why Cao Cao hasn't done it now is that the time is not waiting. If the time comes, he will surely sweep Henan.
By that time, between Yuan Gong and Cao Cao. There will be a battle between the dragon and the tiger...... There is a way that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Don't ask whether Yuan Gong or Cao Gong really have a Han family, but in this land north of the Yangtze River, there can only be one person, who can win? ”
A smile appeared on Xun Chen's slightly stern face.
He sighed softly, "Meng Yan can have this insight. It's extraordinary...... However, your question is ridiculous, with Yuan Gong's current strength, Cao Cao may not be his opponent. As for the argument that the two tigers are competing with each other, I think it is a bit alarmist. It must be Yuan Gong who wins, do you think so? ”
"Chuang's view is the opposite of that of the boss."
A sense of superiority that transcends the crowd suddenly arises. Liu Chuang couldn't help but straighten his waist.
Xun Chen frowned, "How can you see it?" ”
Liu Chuang's brain was spinning rapidly. Think about the wording.
Historically, before the battle of Yuan Cao, Guo Jia had ten victories and ten defeats, which was regarded as a classic by later generations.
But in fact, there are too many false things in the theory of ten wins and ten defeats, and many things are specially added by Guo Jia to increase Cao Cao's confidence. The gap between Yuan Cao is not as big as imagined, and Yuan Shao is not as unbearable as Guo Jia said.
Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have spent eight years after the Battle of Guandu to unify the north.
There are many exaggerations in this, and some things, just a matter of one sentence, may greatly increase Cao Cao's confidence.
Before the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao lacked not only troops, but confidence.
In fact, in the eyes of many top strategists at that time, Cao Cao was not Yuan Shao's opponent, and even Cao Cao had no confidence.
Therefore, if all these ten wins and ten defeats are taken out, it will attract Xun Chen's laughter.
What's more, Liu Chuang is unlikely to remember the ten wins and ten defeats completely.
He can only sift through them and choose the most suitable excuse.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Liu Chuang said softly: "Although Duke Yuan holds the seal of the general, he can command the world, but he does not serve the imperial court, and it is not in line with etiquette. And Cao Cao ordered the princes to serve the Son of Heaven, and he was superior to Yuan Gong above morality, so I think that Yuan Gong would be defeated. ”
"Well, the teacher is famous, and he is edicted to rebel against ......"
Xun Chen thought for a while, nodded and said, "Meng Yan is one of them, there is some truth in what he said. ”
"Second, Qin's tyranny ruled the world, the laws were strict and numerous, and the people were miserable.
Therefore, Gaozu Dingding Guanzhong, three chapters of the law to win the hearts of the old Qin people. However, the Han Dynasty has been in power for 400 years, and chaos has been born, and the world should be governed by heavy regulations. This serious illness also requires a strong medical treatment. However, Yuan Gong is lenient and generous, which seems to be benevolent, but in fact he is sick and sick. If the law is already lax, how can we do the old things? At the time of the collapse of the rites and music today, it is necessary to re-enforce the ritual in order to be cautious and fearful, and Cao Cao happened to do this, so that the upper and lower levels knew the system and the laws and orders were unified. In this way, it can be a victory. This is the second reason for Cao Cao's victory. ”
The slightly sarcastic smile on Xun Chen's face disappeared.
Instead, it is an inexplicable solemnity.
He stared at Liu Chuang and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask the third?" ”
"The third, Yuan Gong is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, and he is suspicious of employing people, and the people he uses are the children of relatives.
I don't ask anything else, I just ask the boss, can the eldest prince sit in a state? ”
"This ......"
"I think the boss knows it very well.
And at this point, Cao Cao is easy to simplify on the outside and smart on the inside, and there is no doubt about employing people, only talents, and there is no difference between far and near. Although I am an opponent of Cao Cao, this person's popularity is indeed very admirable. In this regard, I am afraid that Yuan Gong is difficult to compare, so this is the third reason for me. ”
Xun Chen wanted to debate with Liu Chuang, but Liu Chuang even gave examples, so he didn't know how to answer.
Yuan Tan is indeed not a candidate to sit in a state.
The reason why he was able to achieve the position of Qingzhou Thorn History, to put it bluntly, was because he was Yuan Shao's eldest son.
And Yuan Shao's three sons and son-in-law all occupy high positions. Even the important positions around Yuan Shao are mostly held by Yuan Shao's relatives.
On this point, Liu Chuang is not wrong.
In Xun Chen's heart, he suddenly had the idea of underestimating the people of the world.
He looked at Liu Chuang's gaze, which was even more weird, and said softly after a while: "Dare to ask the fourth." ”
Liu Chuang scratched his head and continued: "Yuan Gong because of the posture of the world, he discussed and gave up to receive his reputation, and the good words of the scholars decorated the outsiders returned to him, and Cao Cao pushed the sincerity, with simplicity, and the meritorious people are not stingy, and the scholars are far-sighted and real, they are willing to be used, this virtue is also victorious." ”
As soon as Liu Chuang said this, he immediately found that Xun Chen's face was ugly.
He reacted immediately, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Boss, I'm not talking about you. ”
The meaning of this sentence is that Yuan Shao likes to collect some high-minded and flashy talents.
And Xun Chen is the person next to Yuan Shao, when he says this, doesn't he scold Xun Chen in front of Xun Chen for being flashy and unrealistic, and likes to talk loudly?
After Liu Chuang figured it out, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Xun Chen glared at him, although he was not very comfortable in his heart, but how could he really deal with Liu Chuang?
He snorted, "Of course I know, you're not talking about me!" ”
This old man feels good about himself......
"Go on!"
Liu Chuang hesitated for a moment, and saw that Xun Chen was indeed not angry, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said cautiously: "Yuan Gong sees that people are hungry and cold, and the form of compassion is in color. Cao Cao's current small things are sometimes overlooked, and as for the big things, they are connected with the four seas, and the grace is added......
The eldest and nephew are young, and they can only see this.
By the way, there is another one, that is, Yuan Gong is resourceful and indecisive, the more he needs to be decisive, the softer his ears are, and he is not a person who has achieved great things.
The only thing my nephew can think of and see is this.
Perhaps Yuan Gong was in Hebei and ruled the land of the four states. However, at the beginning of the Chu and Han dynasties, Xiang Yu had the advantage, but in the end, he was destroyed by Gaozu. So, I'm really not optimistic about Yuan Shao. As for the so-called dispute between the heirs, whether it is the third son or the eldest son, it is not the best choice. ”
Xun Chen swallowed his saliva and felt a little dry.
He stood up, walked to the window, and pushed it open......
The August wind was already a little cool, and he stood in front of the window and was silent for a long time.
