Chapter 34: Prelude I

Liu Chuang has always been very curious about the woman who escaped from the assassin's pursuit with the young Liu Chuang in her arms, and after finding Liu Yong's entrustment, she set fire to block the assassin's pursuit.

It should be his mother, but judging from the identity, it seems that it is not Liu Tao's main room.

Otherwise, Liu Chuang should be called Liu Boyan, not Liu Mengyan. From Liu Chuang's words, this problem is further proved.

Liu Chuang has always wanted to figure out the identity of that woman, that is, the mother of this body.

I just couldn't find a suitable opportunity, so I didn't ask until now.

Liu Yong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "Second lady...... I don't know where Madame came from. Meng Yan, you can probably guess that Madame is not the main room of the old man. The eldest lady was originally from the Yingchuan Zhong clan and had a very good relationship with the master, but unfortunately died a little early and left no heirs. Later, the lord became Jing Zhaoyin, and the lady followed the lord at that time. Later, the lord wanted to help her as the eldest lady, but the lady still refused to agree, and the lord had to give up. Speaking of which, the lady's surname is Sima, and the lord has never said her origin. However, looking at Mrs.'s speech and demeanor, she should also be from a big family, and I don't know the specifics. ”

Sima's?

Liu Chuang instinctively thought of Sima Yi.

But after thinking about it again, there are so many people in the world who have the surname Sima, and it can't be because their mother has the surname Sima, that is, they are members of the Sima clan.

In my impression, Sima Yi seems to be from Hanoi, and Liu Tao is the mother he met when he was serving in Jing Zhaoyin, that is, when he was serving in Chang'an, so naturally there can be no connection between the two. All the good things in the world are all taken up by you alone! accidentally became a relative of the emperor, not to mention, but also related to Sima Yi?

Therefore, Liu Chuang put this matter aside, and then told Liu Yong to find someone to make Liu Tao and Sima's spirit cards.

Since you want to return to your ancestors and recognize your ancestors, although the spirit card is a trivial matter, it can also prove Liu Chuang's identity.

When Liu Yong heard this, he repeatedly praised Liu Chuang for his thoughtfulness...... For so many years, he didn't expect this matter, and he didn't expect to be mentioned by Liu Chuang.

In this heart, I naturally felt a trace of guilt.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Zhang Chao, wake up slowly.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a strange room, and suddenly he shuddered, turned over and wanted to sit up.

With a big hand, Peng pressed Zhang Chao's shoulder, followed by a deep voice in his ear, "Meng Yan, this kid is awake." ”

Zhang Chao turned his head to look at it, startled.

In front of his eyes, a face that was extremely familiar to him appeared, Zhu Hai!

Am I being caught?

When Zhang Chao thought of this, he wanted to get up and resist.

But even though Hai's big hand was like a mountain, it pressed on his shoulder, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free. Of course, Zhang Chao, who had just woken up, had no strength in his body. Even if he was in his heyday, he couldn't compare to Guan Hai's strength, and the so-called struggle was just in vain.

"Boy, if you don't want to die, lie down here.

Damn, Lao Tzu took care of you for two days, and when you woke up, you didn't even say thank you, this thief's Su zhì is really fucking bad. ”

Guan Hai muttered, and suddenly there was some anger in his voice, and he slapped Zhang Chao's chest.

This slap made Zhang Chao almost lose his breath......

"I told you not to move, you just don't fucking listen.

Look, the wound is open again, and I'm going to give you a new medicine. I tell you, don't make a mess for me, or Lao Tzu will throw you into the pot right now. ”

The movement of the struggle was so intense that Zhang Chao's wound cracked.

The white cloth wrapped around his abdomen oozed a red mark, which made Guan Haiton feel dissatisfied.

At this time, the light in the house dimmed, and Liu Chuang walked in from outside.

Holding a bowl of porridge in his hand, he stepped forward and put it next to the couch, stretched out his hand to pinch Zhang Chao's neck, and propped up his head.

That action was so ungentle that Zhang Chao, who pinched it, almost lost his breath.

"Uncle Hai, he is a patient, you are so powerful, you have to shoot him to death.

Sven, ask Sven a little bit...... It just so happened that the gauze that he changed yesterday had dried, so I changed the medicine for him by the way, and then asked someone to find Zhang Cheng, and this kid will be honest. By the way, sue Zhang Cheng and let him find a way to get this kid out, I don't want to get into trouble. ”

When Zhang Chao heard Zhang Cheng's name, he immediately calmed down.

But Liu Chuang's big hand pinched his neck like an iron tong, making him a little breathless, and he hurriedly waved his hand and signaled Liu Chuang to let go of his hand.

Guan Hai couldn't help laughing, pointed at Liu Chuang and said, "You say I'm not rude, where can you go to Sven?" Hurry up and let go, if you don't let go, you're going to strangle him to death." ”

Only then did Liu Chuang realize that Zhang Chao's face was red and his ears were red, and he had difficulty breathing.

Startled, he hurriedly let go of his hand, and immediately put a mattress under Zhang Chao's body, and stood up.

"Okay, I'll go and inform Zhang Cheng, and Uncle Hai will help him bandage it."

After speaking, Liu Chuang ignored Zhang Chao, who was lying on the couch coughing, and walked out of the room quickly.

That night, Zhang Cheng sneaked into the city.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the night ban has been lifted in Qu County, and the guards are not as strict as some time ago. Zhang Cheng only needed to disguise himself and blend into the city. Seeing that Zhang Chao had woken up, he was also very happy in his heart, but more importantly, there was still a trace of gratitude.

"Young master, today I was in Xue's store and heard a message."

"Huh?"

"Cao Cao sent an envoy to Xuzhou, intending to ask Liu Bei to send troops to conquer Yuan Shu."

When Liu Chuang heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. Although he already knew the answer, he couldn't help but ask, "Then did Liu Bei agree?" ”

"It's not very clear at the moment. However, Steward Huang inquired about the news, saying that Cao Cao had listed Liu Bei as the general of Zhendong and the Marquis of Yicheng Pavilion. Steward Huang also said that Liu Bei is now living in Xuzhou and urgently needs the imperial court to correct his name, so he will not refuse Cao Cao's request. ”

Historically, Liu Bei did not refuse.

It seems that Huang Shao is quite concerned about Xuzhou, so he will inquire about the news.

Liu Chuang thought for a while, "Please inform Steward Huang when you go back, and I will accept his favor." ”

Zhang Cheng agreed, and went to visit Zhang Chao.

When the two brothers met, they naturally had to greet each other. Liu Chuang didn't bother them, and sat in the courtyard, his eyes a little glazed.

In the first month, Cao Cao listened to Cheng Yu's opinion and decided to welcome the Han Emperor in the west.

It's just that Yuzhou was in a state of chaos at that time, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban have never subsided. In February, Cao Cao decided to conquer Yingchuan and defeated the Yellow Turbans. Although the Emperor of the Han Dynasty had fled to Luoyang, the Luoyang at this time had long since ceased to be in full swing. It is recorded in the history books that when Dong Zhuo moved the capital, he set fire to the palace city. When the Han Emperor came to Luoyang with a group of courtiers, he only saw a ruin, and the hundred officials did not even have a place to live.

'Overcome thorns, between the walls of the hills'.

'The state and county each have strong troops, but the committee cannot lose, the group is hungry, and the following Shang Shulang goes out to collect grass, or starves to death between the walls'......

It can be seen from this that the situation faced by the Han Emperor at that time was so bad.

Cao Cao took the lead in welcoming the west, and sent a large amount of grain and baggage for the Han Emperor to eat, which naturally made the Han Emperor very happy, so he crowned Cao Cao Jiande General to encourage him. At this time, Cao Cao had not yet stabilized Yuzhou, so he urgently needed the help of allies to stabilize the situation.

Yuan Shu was ready to move in Shouchun, and Cao Cao didn't want to confront him head-on at this time.

The situation in Yuzhou is not very good, and if there is another war, it will inevitably make the situation even more erosive.

In this case, using an unknown name to say that Liu Bei sent troops to contain Yuan Shu was the best choice for Cao Cao; At the same time, as Huang Shao said, although Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou, he was never orthodox, so he also very much hoped that he could get an official name. Otherwise, the control of Xuzhou will never be justified, and there will be many hidden dangers.

Xuzhou, it's going to be messy!

On the surface, Liu Bei and Cao Cao each took what they needed.

But in fact, it was Cao Cao who took a big advantage......

Next, Xuzhou will inevitably continue to fight, and Lu Bu and Liu Bei will attack each other, making this land of abundant money and grain finally become a broken faction.

Although Xuzhou is good, after all, it is a place of four wars and cannot be used as a foundation.

Liu Bei's quest for Xuzhou from the beginning was a wrong decision. Whether it is Cao Cao or Jiangdong, it is impossible to sit idly by and watch him sit in Xuzhou.

It's time for a war, it's time to go!

But is Huiyingchuan really the best choice?

Speaking from the heart, Liu Chuang didn't particularly agree. The only advantage of returning to Yingchuan is that he can solve the problem of his background and stand on a higher-level www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion. But when it comes to development, it is not necessarily ...... Cao Cao soon welcomed the Han Emperor in the west, and then moved the capital to Xu County.

Although Cao Cao at this time had not shown much ambition, after his advisers offered the strategy of 'serving the Son of Heaven to order the princes', Cao Cao was also destined to be wary of the Han family. In this case, Liu Chuang's return to Yingchuan is equivalent to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. Now that he has decided not to defect to Liu Bei, Liu Chuang must devise another way out. Do you really want to go to Cao Cao?

For a while, Liu Chuang became even more dazed......

Zhang Cheng saw Zhang Chao, explained the experience to Zhang Chao, and after calming his uneasy feelings, he walked out of the room.

"Young master, I'll go back."

"Hmm."

"In two days, I will find a way to pick up Xiaochao.

It was always a nuisance for him to stay in the county. Now that his injuries have improved, I will take him out of the county seat first and temporarily place him in Yilu Township.

Where is the Huang Steward, does the young master have any other orders? ”

Liu Chuang suddenly came to his senses, "Please ask Huang to manage Huang on my behalf, just say that if there is any disturbance in Xuzhou, please let me know as much as possible."

In particular, whether Liu Bei agrees to send troops and when he decides to send troops, if he can find out, it is the best. ”

"Zhang Cheng, understood."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After Zhang Cheng left, Liu Chuang seemed a little restless at home.

After taking care of Zhang Chao and taking the medicine, he sat in the courtyard in a daze. Before you know it, it's already dark.

Liu Yong came back from outside and saw that Guan Hai was not there, so he asked suspiciously, "Where did your Uncle Hai go?" ”

"Uncle Hai?"

Liu Chuang reacted at this time, he asked Guan Hai to find Zhang Cheng, but only Zhang Cheng came, but Guan Hai was nowhere to be seen. But after thinking about it, he guessed a rough idea.

"Just now I asked Uncle Hai to go to Yilu Township, I think he will stop by and go to Yanshui Beach.

Yilu Township and Yanshui Beach are not too far away, and Uncle Hai's old brothers are all in Yanshui Beach, maybe they will go to Pei Shao to discuss things, there should be nothing to do. ”

Liu Yong nodded, and suddenly changed his words, "Meng Yan, I heard a message in the market that Cao Cao sent an envoy to Xiapi. ”

"I heard it too!"

"What do you think?"

Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: This news spread so fast.

Zhang Chenggang brought the news, and Qu County also got the news...... However, it is obvious that the Qu County side does not know Cao Cao's true intentions, so Liu Yong is not very clear. It seems that the gang of pirates in Yuzhou Mountain do have some means to find out the specific content. Xue Zhou may not have such a ability, otherwise the Yuzhou Mountain pirates would not have been trapped on the island for so many years.

Huang Shao!

This is definitely Huang Shao's handiwork.

It has only been more than a month since he defected to Xuezhou, and he has woven such an intelligence system in Xuzhou, which shows that this person is indeed truly talented and learned.
