Chapter 21: Cao Cao enters Yan, the prodigal son's master and apprentice
Just when Lu Rui was sleeping in the Hou Ye's mansion, Lu Rui didn't know that Tian Feng in Bohai had already begun to stare at Cao Cao and Lu Rui, and when Cao Cao's troops went out of Dongjun to crusade against the Yellow Turban, Tian Feng also began to plan a new strategy for Yuan Shao to seize Jizhou!
At night, in Yuan Shao's study, Yuan Shao glanced at Tian Feng and asked: "Yuan Hao, there has been a shortage of food in our army recently, and it has been used for less than a year, I don't know what Yuan Hao's plan is?" ”
Tian Feng arched his hand and said: "Lord, in recent years, the Bohai Sea has been in turmoil, and the yellow turbans have risen everywhere, and it is no longer a place for our army, so I suggest that the lord find another place to go." ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Give up Bohai? But where should our army go? ”
Tian Feng smiled and said, "Has the lord forgotten the bet that Han Fu lost to Lu Rui in the sour jujube military camp in the past?" ”
Yuan Shao rolled his eyes and stared at Tian Feng, yes, Han Fu's Jizhou has many generals and a wide range of generals, and it is very rich, just the bet on the game with Lu Rui in the sour jujube is several times his own, Han Fu didn't even feel a little distressed when he lost, it can be seen that Jizhou is rich, but his Bohai troops can really take Jizhou?
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao asked: "Yuan Hao, what is the best plan to seize Jizhou?" ”
Tian Feng arched his hand and said, "Lord, I have two plans to do it at the same time to seize Jizhou." ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What's the plan?" ”
Tian Feng said: "One is to support the new lord and lead troops into Jizhou, and the other is to join Gongsun Chan in the north and attack Jizhou with Gongsun Chan as the vanguard. ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Please Yuan Hao to solve your doubts!" ”
Tian Feng said: "In the past, Xu Ziyuan united everyone to abolish the first emperor of Yongyong and set up Liu Yu of Youzhou as the emperor, but now, we can repeat the old tricks, unite with Han Fu, and suggest that Yecheng be the new capital to welcome the new emperor, and Han Fu will inevitably let the lord lead the troops to Yecheng to cheer. At the same time, our army can divide Jizhou equally as bait, and secretly unite with Beiping Taishou Gongsun Chan to attack Jizhou, Gongsun Chan to attack Jizhou, Jizhou will inevitably send heavy troops to the north to resist, when our army arrives in Yecheng, how can Han Fu resist? ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he patted his hand, laughed and said: "Good, just follow Yuan Hao's plan!" ”
When Yuan Shao was plotting to seize Jizhou, Cao Cao led a large army to conquer the east and west in Yanzhou, pacified the Yellow Turban, and successively defeated the Xiongnu who invaded Yanzhou in Luo Fusuo, and the army rose sharply, and the power shook Yanzhou.
In order to commend Cao Cao's public achievements, the imperial court first agreed to Yuan Shao's table, and Cao Cao was named the Taishou of Dongjun, and soon, because Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai died, Chen Liuzhang Miao and Chen Liu's family on the table Cao Cao as Yanzhou Mu, after the approval of the imperial court, Cao Cao became Yanzhou Mu, and issued a recruitment order in Yanzhou.
Soon after Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, Cao Cao ordered Cao Chun to go to Fan County to pick up Lu Rui to Puyang, because Lu Rui was about to turn six years old, and then he would be enrolled in school. Lu Rui saw that Fan County had nothing to do, so he came to Puyang with Dian Wei, Murong Ping, Ling'er and three hundred guards.
Lu Rui took a group of people to the Taishou Mansion in Puyang, and when the housekeeper of Cao Mansion saw Lu Rui, he immediately took Lu Rui to bathe and change clothes, and then after lunch, he took Lu Rui to the main hall to meet Cao Cao.
Cao Cao sat on the main seat of the main hall, touching his beard, and was chatting with everyone, Lu Rui jumped, jumped over the threshold of the gate, made a grimace, and shouted: "Middle father? ”
When Cao Cao saw Lu Rui, he beckoned happily and said, "Come, come, Rui'er, come to the middle father." ”
Lu Rui ran in front of Cao Cao, Cao Cao picked up Lu Rui, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, this is Meng De's adopted son, Lu Rui!" ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately got up, arched their hands and said, "Meet the Marquis of Qi!" ”
Lu Rui waved his hand, signaling that everyone didn't need to be polite, and everyone sat down. Here are the five strategists of Cao Cao's early stage, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Xun You, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu.
Cao Cao looked at the strategist, then at Lu Rui, and said, "Rui'er, you are already preparing to be six years old, it is time to choose a master to teach you to study." ”
Lu Rui nodded and said, "Well, Father Zhong!" ”
Cheng Yu stood up at this time and said, "Lord, let Zhongde ask Hou Ye to see which of us is suitable to teach Hou Ye?" ”
Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu, the elder strategist, nodded and said, "Okay, let Zhongde try it." ”
Cheng Yu bowed to Cao Cao, then looked at Lu Rui and asked, "I don't know what ambitions the little marquis has?" (Children of the Han Dynasty family, generally began to enter the private school at the age of four, the so-called enlightenment education, to Lu Rui's identity, there is already a private school teacher in Fan County, who can read and write, ambition two words, six-year-old children still know)
Lu Rui's eyes widened, he turned around, looked at Cao Cao, and then waved the wooden sword in his hand and said, "I just want to follow Father Zhong's side, help Father Zhong defeat the heroes, and restore the Han Dynasty!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded with satisfaction, and when Cheng Yu heard it, he smiled and said, "Is Master Hou like a general?" Charging into battle? Kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions? ”
When Lu Rui heard this, he hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, I just want to command in the back, I don't want to rush to the front, I will die!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all laughed, it turned out that Lu Rui still knew that people would die in battle, Cheng Yu arched his hand and said, "Master Hou is like being a strategist and giving advice?" Defeat the enemy? ”
Lu Rui looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Don't the strategists have to rush to the front to fight?" Just sitting in the barracks? Tell the soldiers to hit whomever they want? ”
When Cheng Yu heard this, he nodded and said, "Master Hou, it can also be understood in this way." ”
When Lu Rui heard this, he grabbed Cao Cao's beard and said, "Father Zhong, then I will be a strategist in the future." ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled and said; "Okay, okay, my little strategist, today the middle father will choose a teacher for you, there are five people here, you can choose one of them to apprentice, after apprenticeship, you can follow the master to study hard." After speaking, he pointed to the five people in the audience.
Lu Rui looked at everyone, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, too rigid, he must be angry. Cheng Yu? It's almost an old man, no, Xi Zhicai? Looks serious! Hehe, only Guo Jia, there is a wine jug tied around his waist, a chic person, it's him, Lu Rui pointed at Guo Jia and said; "Father Zhong, I want him, this person with a wine jug!"
Cao Cao took a look, Guo Jia? It's okay, full of wit, a man of ghosts, and a student of Yingchuan Academy, qualified, Cao Cao patted it and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let Fengxiao be Rui'er's teacher." ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Obey the orders of the lord!" In this way, Lu Rui became Guo Jia's disciple.
In the next few days, Guo Jia taught Lu Rui some knowledge of Mr. Private School in his own house, writing, literacy, and reading. On the seventh day, Guo Jia saw Lu Rui coming to the mansion, so he said, "Rui'er, take your guard, go out with me, and the rest of the people will stay in my mansion." ”
When Lu Rui heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, master." Then he took Murong Ping to follow Guo Jia out of the house, Lu Rui and the others followed Guo Jia, and slowly came to a place, Guo Jia pointed and said, "Today, we will teach here." ”
Lu Rui looked up, grandma's, isn't this a brothel? Coming here to teach? It's no wonder that I have to be able to bring the bell, it's not suitable for girls, and Dian Wei can't bring it, it's too scary, and it's too ostentatious.
Subsequently, Guo Jia and the three entered the brothel, and as soon as the bustard saw Guo Jia, he immediately took three steps and two steps to greet him and said, "Lord Guo, are you here?" ”
Guo Jia touched the bustard and said, "Sister Chun, are you old again?" ”
The old bustard patted it and said, "If you die, you will know that you are young!" Your seat has been reserved. ”
Lu Rui looked at it, obediently, it turned out to be a regular customer, the prodigal son Guo Jia, it was really a wave! After the three of them arrived at the box, they sat down, and a few girls came in to serve, and Guo Jia let the girls go down after listening to a few songs. Then he asked, "Rui'er?" Do you know what the teacher brought you here for? ”
Lu Rui thought in his heart: Grandma, you won't teach me to be a prostitute, is Lao Tzu still so young? How? Lu Rui shook his head and said, "Rui'er doesn't know, please ask the master for advice." ”
Guo Jia looked at Lu Rui and said, "Rui'er, how did the girls change from coming in to going out just now?" What has changed in the little guys? ”
When Lu Rui heard this, he was stunned, didn't he listen to the music just now? How to pay attention to the changes in prostitutes and servants? Lu Rui shook his head and said, "Master, Rui'er doesn't know. ”
Guo Jia tapped his thumb, opened the gourd, took a sip of wine, and said: "Rui'er, let the teacher tell you, the girl who played the piano just now, her fingers were broken, and the tune behind her has changed. The little guy who served us deducted the wine and food behind, and the amount was not enough. ”
When Lu Rui heard this, he looked at Guo Jia with wide eyes, Guo Jia is really not simple, you can find so many things by listening to a small song!
Looking at Lu Rui's incredulous expression, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Rui'er, since you want to assist the lord with strategy, you must observe the subtleties and find something unusual. If the two armies face each other, you can find out the shortcomings of the enemy's army formation and break it! If the two armies are dispatched, they can find the enemy's shortcomings and attack them! If you defend the city, you can find the weak points of our army, and defend it! If you infiltrate the enemy camp, you can find out where the enemy army is desirable and seek it! That's why I'm bringing you! When Lu Rui heard this, he immediately understood, Guo Jia is training his observation, observation is very important for a strategist, if there is no observation, how can he make suggestions? Plan before you act? Lu Rui hugged his fists and said, "Understood, master!" ”
Guo Jia smiled, took out the wine money and said, "Rui'er, today's class is over, let's go to another place." ”
Lu Rui looked at the wine and food on the table, haven't you eaten yet? Just gone? At least I'll try it. Guo Jia looked at Lu Rui looking at the wine and food on the table, and said, "Rui'er, do you know why I have to bring wine with me?" ”
Lu Rui shook his head, Guo Jia said: "Fengxiao is addicted to alcohol, everyone knows it, wouldn't it be easy to poison Fengxiao?" Strategists must always be vigilant, the land of fireworks is the most confusing! With that, he sang and left.
Lu Rui looked adoring, followed Guo Jia's back, obediently, the ancient strategists were really powerful, especially Guo Jia's teaching, the teaching was so good!
After Guo Jia took Lu Rui out of the brothel, he took Lu Rui to the bazaar, restaurant, post station and other places where the three religions and nine streams gathered, which opened Lu Rui's eyes.
In the following months, Guo Jia took Lu Rui to wander around the land of fireworks, taste Puyang food, see Puyang beauties, and became the prodigal son and apprentice in Puyang City, eating, drinking and having fun every day!
On this day, Lu Rui followed Guo Jia to the brothel again, Lu Rui and Murong Ping enjoyed food in the outer hall of the box, Guo Jia kissed me and me with a prostitute named Xiaoqiu inside, Lu Rui complained while eating, grandma's, Guo Jia would also fake the public and private, and bring himself to learn the arts, and by the way, he also came to cheat, thinking of this, Lu Rui despised Guo Jia infinitely!
only heard Guo Jia shout, Lu Rui covered his ears, it's over again? It's really inappropriate for Lu Rui, the soul of an adult, the young body, is what men understand! I saw Guo Jia with a happy look on his face and walked out, Lu Rui looked at Guo Jia: It's cool again?
Guo Jia sat down, took a sip of wine, and said, "Rui'er, can you see the businessman downstairs?" ”
Lu Rui followed Guo Jia's point, looked over and said, "See, master!" ”
Guo Jia said: "He claims to be a businessman from Jizhou, Hebei Province, but he doesn't like noodles, but rice. Is Ruier the reason for this? ”
Lu Rui looked at the man and said, "The master suspects that he is from the south?" ”
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
Lu Rui was puzzled: "Master, just this doesn't mean that he is from the south, right?" ”
Guo Jia said: "Of course not, just now Qiu'er told me, I heard the sister of the brothel say that this person has come by carriage in the past few months, not good at riding horses, but likes water, a day a girl will pour a basin of water into her body by mistake, its covenant: I haven't been cruising for a long time, and I am really fortunate to meet this water today!" ”
When Lu Rui heard it, the intelligence officers of the ancients were not very professional, and there were many times when they would show their feet, this person seemed to be a person from the south, so he was likely to be Yuan Shu or Tao Qian's secret agent! Or the connector of intelligence!
Guo Jia looked at it, and then said, "Rui'er, I've already arranged it, let's go arrest someone!" ”
After speaking, Guo Jia got up and was about to leave, Lu Rui pointed to Guo Jia's pants and said, "Master, you didn't tie it!" ”
Guo Jia looked at his lower body, then was startled, hurriedly dressed, looked at Lu Rui and said: "Rui'er, I'm here to do business today, I saw your master, I know what to say, I'm here to catch the secret agent!" ”
Lu Rui nodded and said, "Yes, master!" "I said yes in my mouth, but I cursed infinitely in my heart, Master, don't you let children lie, it's really unkind!
Soon Guo Jia and Lu Rui captured the secret agent and intercepted the intelligence, since Yuan Shao captured Jizhou without a single soldier, Gongsun Zan was dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's deception, led his troops to attack Yuan Shao, and at the same time united Tao Qian and Yuan Shu, ready to attack Cao Cao, take Yanzhou, cross the Yellow River to the north, and attack Yuan Shao!
After Guo Jia received this information, he hurriedly reported to Cao Cao, and after discussion, Cao Cao and his others decided to attack Yuan Shu in the south first and conquer Xuzhou in the east. In this way, Cao Cao's first eastward expedition to Xuzhou was about to kick off.
Guo Jia wants to go on the expedition with the army, and he can't teach Lu Rui, so Lu Rui has to temporarily return to Fan County and go out with the army? That's not good, that's a war, it's not a sour date to make money for the allies, you can't go!
