Chapter 367: The Ninth Year of Jian'an (2) 2/2

Lobbying Zhang Lu is still a little different from lobbying others. In fact, although this Zhang Lu is too shou in Hanzhong, he guards a heart of cultivation. Therefore, ordinary methods must not be recognized by Zhang Lu, and they must find like-minded people to succeed.

Since Xun Yu offered advice to lobby Zhang Lu, he naturally found a suitable person.

It is said that there is a warlock named Haoxiang in Dongping, Yanzhou, who is proficient in astrology, and is better at the art of talismans, and has the ability of divination.

This person is good at cultivating and likes the art of immortals.

Xun Yu recommended this person to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao read Haoxiang's information and immediately agreed to send this person to Hanzhong. This man is eloquent, and he also has great respect for Cao Cao. There is such a person going to Hanzhong, presumably that Zhang Lu will definitely not refuse. So, Cao Cao immediately replied to Xun Yu, and he sent Haoxiang to Chang'an.

Zhang Lu's matter is solved, but how to withdraw from the army?

Just when Cao Cao was upset about this, Liu Chuang suddenly sent someone to send a gift.

The gift was a set of exquisite tea utensils, as well as tea leaves made by Liu Chuang's people.

"In a few days, it will be the year when the father-in-law knows the destiny of heaven.

Yuwa and I really want to go to Xudu to congratulate you on your 50th birthday, but we are worried that you will not welcome you, so we can only give up.

Fifty birthdays, you should know the destiny of heaven.

Although our son-in-law met each other, my admiration for my father-in-law has never diminished. When the battle came to this, I was tired, and I believe that my father-in-law was also tired. If we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that in the end, it will be those who will benefit from the small ones. You can't break into Liangzhou, and I can't break through Liyang. Or...... Let's make a truce. Calm down, rest, everyone. Gather enough strength to decide again? ”

Comes with this set of gifts. and ten beautiful maidservants. It is said that it was passed down by Liu Chuang and was good at making tea.

When Cao Cao received this letter, he was furious.

"Chuang Er deceived me too much!"

However, when he calmed down, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Cao Cao said to Xun You: "My son-in-law is a wonderful person. ”

Xun You also read the content of this letter, and when he heard Cao Cao say this, he couldn't help but laugh.

It's just that. He doesn't have a good idea of what happened between this son-in-law. However, he could see that Cao Cao was a little tempted.

Yes, if you continue to fight, it will be a fisherman's profit!

The fight between his son-in-law and his son-in-law is a matter between their sons-in-law, how can they let others benefit?

Cao Cao couldn't laugh or cry at Liu Chuang's letter.

Every time you say to fight, Lao Tzu accompanies you to fight, but now it's good, you get cheap. Don't you want to fight, just shout to rest?

But Liu Chuang's letter. It also touched the softest place in Cao Cao's heart.

If it weren't for the creation of people, it would be impossible to say that Liu Chuang is now his most powerful subordinate, and it would be impossible to say that he would have already stepped on Jingxiang and swept the world...... It's a pity that he and Liu Chuang can only be opponents in the end! Because in Cao Cao's heart, Liu Chuang and him have long been classified into the same category of people.

"This bastard kid ......"

Cao Cao shook his head, and after pondering for a long time, he said to Xun You: "Gongda, please reply a letter on my behalf." ”

"How do I reply?"

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "I said, you write!" ”

"Whoa!"

"I have received the gift and loved it very much.

I am also very happy that you have this filial piety. In this encounter, you won and I lost...... But next time, I will definitely not be merciful. It's almost New Year's, so that's it. I'm too lazy to bother with you bastard boy, I'll see you next time.

Treat Yuwa well, give birth to a son quickly, and make me happy.

You've been married for several years, don't be a kid like you who can't have children...... If that's the case, send my daughter back quickly......"

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

A big war that affected the three states, and so there was a truce.

Xu Shu ordered the withdrawal of troops from Qingshi'an and the troops of Wushi. And Liu Chuang also took the initiative to withdraw from Fuyang Ju and return to Neihuang after sending the letter.

Cao Cao immediately ordered Cao Ren to be Jing Zhaoyin, and ordered Cao Zhentun to be stationed on the bluestone bank.

Xiahou Yuan was stationed in Wuyue Mountain to guard against Xu Shu's sneak attack. Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were stationed at Fanxukou, and the two sides no longer clashed......

However, after Liu Chuang received Cao Cao's letter, he couldn't help but scold.

"This old guy is not serious, how can I pay you back the girl who married out?"

It's just that in this heart, there is a feeling of sympathy.

As he said in his letter to Cao Cao: Fighting for life and death is a matter between our sons-in-law, but we must not cheapen others.

Looking at Cao Cao's letter, Liu Chuang was also quite emotional.

Counting up, the campaign lasted nearly a year, and the two wars finally came to an end.

Although Cao Jun was not able to completely drive out of Jizhou this time, it was generally a victory. Liu Chuang completely stabilized the situation in Liangzhou and formed an effective encirclement of Guanzhong. At the same time, he occupied the entire territory of Jizhou except Liyang, and also took the plain of Qingzhou.

Counting, I can now be regarded as sitting in the land of four states, which is not much better than Yuan Shao back then.

But the more this happens, the more careful you have to be.

Yuan Shao's lessons from the past are still there, Liu Chuang doesn't want his great cause to be short-lived, just has a scale, and he will quickly perish. Cao Cao lost Jizhou and Liangzhou, but in fact, it did not hurt his vitality too much. Jizhou, he never occupied it completely, and Liangzhou he has never been able to enter. So in this case, although Liu Chuang kidnapped Guo Jia, killed Cheng Yu, and killed Le Jin, Cao Cao still has a lot of talents in his hands. Damn Jia Xu, like a poisonous snake, waiting for an opportunity, and Xun Yu is strategizing, Xun Yu is not general.

In short, Liu Chuang felt that he was not yet complacent.

Cao Cao's ability, he did not doubt it...... And he believes very much that although Cao Cao lost, he will not stop there. Don't look at the ease in his letter, but I believe that Cao Cao, like himself, has already begun to plan his next move.

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang suddenly couldn't help laughing.

What's next, is Cao Cao's Jedi counterattack? Or another battle of Guandu?

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

But no matter how Liu Chuang and Cao Cao calculated. A big war has finally stopped.

Accompanied by Liu Chuang and Cao Cao's strike. Remnants of Hedong Wei. He was also ordered to be expelled from Hedong and driven to Xudu.

This time, the Hedong Wei clan can be said to have lost all their vitality.

Not only has it lost its centuries-old foundation in Hedong, but it has also lost a lot of manpower. From the previous first-class top family, he suddenly became a rootless wanderer. Even if Cao Cao was willing to give Wei help, it was impossible to restore him to his previous appearance.

Under such circumstances, Liu Chuang immediately made a decision.

After he arrived in Yecheng. immediately ordered to worship Zhong Xuan as the assassin of Liangzhou and recruit Xu Shu to return to Yanjing.

"Brother, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to recall Yuan Zhi from Liangzhou at this time."

Liu Chuang smiled, "It's just temporary...... This time he was summoned back for a big deal. ”

"What's the matter?"

Liu Chuang glanced at Zhuge Liang and couldn't help but complain: "You now have two wives and concubines, and you are full of blessings."

But Yuan Zhi is thirty years old and has not yet married. In the past, it was hindered by the Hedong Wei clan. I can't officiate for him. Now the Wei clan has been driven out of Hedong, and the 400-year-old Haoqiang will be wiped out from now on...... When he was in Hedong. I'm going to worry about three points. Now that he doesn't even have his hometown, why should I care? You also know that Yuan Zhixin has admired Cai for a long time, and I heard that Cai everyone seems to have a good impression of him. I have to call him back and take care of this important thing in his life, otherwise how can I be worthy of the old lady? ”

I think that at the beginning, Xu Shu's mother listened to Liu Chuang's persuasion and ran away from Yingchuan to Liaoxi.

After a few years of heart-pounding life, I finally settled down...... However, when his son is older, he is still alone. The old lady was already anxious, and talked to Liu Chuang several times about Xu Shu's life. However, due to various reasons at that time, coupled with Xu Shu's busy official business, he has not been able to fulfill the old lady's wishes. This time, Liu Chuang wants to handle this matter well, which can be regarded as fulfilling the old lady's expectations.

Zhuge Liang suddenly showed a sudden look and nodded again and again.

Liu Chuang did a good job in this matter...... I believe that Xu Shu will be very happy when he knows.

"By the way, brother, do you know that Zhongda also has a crush?"

mentioned Xu Shu's family affairs, Zhuge Liang suddenly remembered Sima Yi.

After he returned to Yecheng, he heard about Sima Yi and Guo Huan. For this reason, he also went to take a sneak look, but he praised Sima Yi's vision very much. Sima Yi is Liu Chuang's cousin, and he is also a family, so it is best to let Liu Chuang know about this matter.

Liu Chuang really didn't know that Sima Yi had a crush, and he was stunned when he heard it.

"Zhongda has an interest?"

"Don't you know, brother?"

Liu Chuang looked dazed, shook his head and said, "The last time I saw Zhongda in Liaodong, he didn't talk to me about it.

How? Who is he interested in? Who? What is the family situation? What does it look like? ”

There is a way that the eldest brother is the father!

Although Liu Chuang is not Sima Yi's own brother, when Sima Fang entrusted Sima Yi to him, Liu Chuang took responsibility.

said that it was to assist Liu Chuang, but it was actually a risk transfer for the Sima family.

In other words, it is not so much that Sima Yi assisted Liu Chuang, but that Sima Fang gave up Sima Yi.

After all, judging from the situation at that time, Liu Chuang had no chance to rise at all......

Since Sima Yi joined Liu Chuang, he has also done his best. The Yellow Pavilion started from scratch, although there are also the merits of Chen Gong, Elfang and others, but on the whole, it was built by Sima Yi. Liu Chuang still appreciates this brother. Although the overall evaluation of Sima Yi in later generations is not high, in Liu Chuang's view, if Zhuge Liang is his brain, then Sima Yi is his minion.

Therefore, he is also very concerned about Sima Yi's marriage.

Hearing Zhuge Liang say that Sima Yi had a crush, Liu Chuang couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Zhongda's favorite person is now in Yecheng."

Speaking of which, it is also the home of the eunuch, and the fact that he was able to capture Yecheng this time is also due to the credit of the person he likes...... As for the looks, they are not bad. ”

Liu Chuang heard about it and became more interested.

"Do you know, what is the name of the other party?"

Zhuge Liang scratched his head and replied with a smile: "Well, it is said that the woman's surname is Guo, a member of the Julu Guangzong clan, and her father was the Taishou of Nanjun and died in office. Her name is Guo Huan, and she also has a nickname called Queen ......" (to be continued......
