Chapter 15: Undressing
Cao Cao and Lu Bu talked on Yongshui for only half a meal, and then they returned disappointed.
Although it is said that sealing a Liang Duke and officially recognizing Lu Bu's seizure of Liangzhou is just a temporary expedient measure, and if he really persuades Lu Bu to retreat, he can break his promise and get fat, and if it is not good, he can also make words to delay, but even if he really fulfills his promise, there is not much practical damage to Cao Cao. But who would have thought that Lu Bu was incited by Chen Gong's few words, and the lion opened his mouth to ask for Guanzhong, this Cao Cao categorically refused to agree.
The key is that Lu Bu went to the front line to take a look, he is very good, and he believes that with his own courage and the elite of Liangzhou's hundred battles, it is not very difficult to capture Chang'an - this benefit is in front of him, and he will not take advantage of the bastard.
On the same day, Liu Bei invited Lu Bu to get Guanzhong, and the two armies continued to unite, advanced into Henan, entered the Guandong, and "saved the Son of Heaven", Lu Bu casually promised, in fact, he really didn't have that much ambition. Lu Bu is not stupid, he knows that Cao Cao's family is still thick, and he really wants to compete with him in the Central Plains, and he will be in trouble, and he doesn't know when he will stop, and if he is not careful, he may be ruined. Besides, Liangzhou, his big rear, is not yet stable, and then help you Liu Bei fight Cao Cao? Forget it, we'll talk about it later.
So he promised Cao Cao that as long as Cao Cao withdrew from Guanzhong, he would march until he reached Taolin, and would stop there, and would not occupy another foot to the east. But on the one hand, Cao Cao was reluctant to close the fertile field, and on the other hand, I want to believe you, I am a fool! Cao Cao knew that people's ambitions were gradually ~ improved with the growth of power - he was the best example - if he really wanted Lu Bu to annex Yongliang and support tens of thousands of troops, he would inevitably continue to advance eastward if he got the opportunity. Even if you don't have the heart for the time being. Sooner or later, this will happen.
So in the end, it still couldn't be discussed. Lu Bu waved his hand: "Meng De refuses to be with me, so I can take it myself." It is expected to be five days to hunt with you. Then Shi Shiran turned the horse's head and left.
Cao Cao was embarrassed and worried, and on the way back to the camp, his face was gloomy and he didn't say a word. Before entering the gate, a sergeant suddenly stopped in front of the horse, and Cao Cao was thinking about Lu Bu. One was caught off guard, hurriedly reined in the horse, and almost kicked the guy to the ground. Cao Cao was furious and immediately scolded: "Who dares to stop the lonely horse? Kill the report! â
Several of the men immediately rushed forward, knocked the sergeant to the ground, and were about to be executed. The sergeant kowtowed to the ground and explained: "If you dare to rush into Duke Wei, you will come to order Jun to come in retribution." Cao Cao frowned, quickly waved his hand, leaned over and asked, "Is Hongfu already in the camp?" â
The voice fell. I heard a familiar voice not far away: "Xun Te is here to greet the lord, please forgive this pawn for the offense." Cao Cao was overjoyed. Regardless of the little soldier, he urged the horse to meet Shixun. It was Xun who turned over and dismounted, and took a deep look: "Xun is late, the lord forgives me." Cao Cao also hurriedly jumped off the horse and stretched out his hands to hold Shixun's arm: "Why does Hongfu have such a big gift? Then he frowned: "Although it is spring, it is still cold in Guanzhong, and there are few Hongfu clothes, so be careful not to get sick and hurt your lonely heart." As he spoke, he took off his cloak and put it on his shoulders.
Shi Xun was careful and immediately shuddered, and secretly screamed - not good!
He was originally ordered by Cao Cao to come to the front line to help, and before that, he first dealt with the pacification of the newly acquired territories in Jing, Yang and other states. The so-called "southerners return to the south, northerners return to the north", after the Huaisi general of the Sun family put down his arms, he was mostly escorted to the north bank of the Yangtze River. After discussing with Xun You, Shi Xun wrote to the imperial court, saying that Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Qin Song, Xue Zong, etc., all have talents, and they can be appointed immediately - anyway, they are all civil officials, and they can't make any waves. As for the generals, what Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi, Song Qian, etc., they can't be allowed to lead the troops anymore, and they will be placed in the five counties of Wei and placed under residential surveillance.
Zhong Shixun proposed a separate person, that is, Sima Lu Meng Lu Ziming, who was thirty-one years old, and he said that I was more interested in this person, and hoped to summon Anyi to confer the post of Zhongshu. Xun You is very strange, saying that according to the archives, this is a pure martial artist, if you really think that it is of great use, you should also be placed in the army, why do you want to put it in the Zhongshutai to do civilian work?
Of course, Shi Xun can't tell Xun Gongda that this kid is Su ZĂŹ Gao, as long as he presses his head to read for a few years, he will definitely succeed. I had to say perfunctorily: "I went south before, and I heard that Lu Ziming was loyal and brave, but he was finally a member of the Sun family, and he could not make him command the army. â
Xun Yu said, such a trivial matter, just listen to you.
Still left the people in Jiangnan, Sun Quan continued to be his Huiji county guard, but he took the title and general title, and all the subordinates of Huiji County were replaced, basically all of them were Wu Huihao clans who had never been out before, and they were used to gradually put Sun Zhongmou in the air. Ren Lusu is the assassin of Yangzhou, and Gu Yong is the Taishou of Wu County; Ren Xu Xuan is the history of Minzhou Thorn, Wei Zhen is the history of Hongzhou Thorn, and Sun Ben is the guard of Linchuan County of Hongzhou.
Then discussed, let's wait for half a year, and when Jiangnan is basically stable, we will use the imperial court edict to call Sun Quan's brothers and cousins, such as Sun Lang, Sun Fu, Sun Yu, etc., all to worship as Lang, and dismember the Sun family step by step.
As for Jingzhou, Liu Cong is still the assassin of Jingzhou, but the Taishou of the counties in Jiangbei are all Cao family, and Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Ma Liang and others are summoned to the court and appointed to prominent positions. As for Fu Xun, Zhao Yan and other scholars who had no ambition in the Liu family in the past, they were all summoned to Anyi and awarded Wei officials. Wen Ping and Huang Zhong still made generals, one followed Zhuge Liang south to recruit the four counties south of the Yangtze River, and the other continued to block in Zigui to guard against Guan Yu.
After all the personnel arrangements were arranged, Shi Xun led the newly recruited 3,000 soldiers and horses, escorted a large number of grain and straw, crossed the Yellow River, and arrived in Chang'an in the west. Sima Yi greeted him with a big gift, and it was Xun who was in a trance for a moment - alas, it seems that when I was in Youzhou, I also accepted Sima Zhongda as an apprentice, so that he was listed in Zhengmen and came again, why was he so busy that he forgot about it? Sima Yi kowtowed when he saw him, and he thought he was too humble-although his name was poor, and the distinction was not so far--it took a moment of thought to understand, oh, this is not a gift for subordinates to see Shangguan, but a gift for disciples to worship their masters......
Immediately, I heard from Sima Zhongda that the situation on the front line was very bad, and Cao Cao had written many times to ask, was Hongfu here? Shi Xun hurriedly unloaded the grain and grass, and then only led his troops to the east bank of Yongshui - as for those recruits. I had to train in Chang'an City for a while. It's good to go to the front. Otherwise, it will be for nothing.
It's Xun Ting who misses Cao Cao, and I believe that Cao Mengde also misses himself even more - he wants to give him ideas himself. But I didn't expect that Cao Cao's attitude was so intimate just after they met, and he directly took off his cloak and covered himself on his shoulders. It was Hongsuke who immediately came up with a name in his head: Wu Qi!
Wu Qi was a famous general of the Warring States Period, who loved soldiers like a son, and it is said that he "shared food and clothing with the lowest soldiers, and did not have a seat." Do not ride, wrap yourself to win food, and share the labor with the soldiers", and even "those who have disease will be sucked". As a result, when the little soldier's mother heard about this, not only was she not moved, but she cried loudly, and when others asked her the reason, she said: "In the past, Duke Wu sucked his father, and his father did not fight. He died at the hands of the enemy. Wu Gong is now sucking his son again, and the concubine does not know what his death is. It's to cry. â
Feudal era. There is no concept that everyone is equal, and there are very few generals who really regard the lives of their subordinates as their own, at least Xun knows, Cao Cao is definitely not this kind of person! Do you say Cao Cao is close to him? It's close. Is it emotionally close? Very pro. But after all, the lord and the rank are there, and when they meet each other, they pull their hands and say, "You are finally here, I miss you very much", which is reasonable, but undressing, this scene is a bit excessive. Why is Cao Cao so good to himself? It's to make yourself "fight without whirlwind, and die to the enemy"!
Shixun was shocked on the spot, and said Cao Mengde, what do you mean? What do you want me to do?!
What does Cao Cao want Shixun to do? Naturally, he wanted Shixun to take the risk of the unexpected, go straight into the enemy camp, and lobby Lu Bula. Cao Cao himself also knew that this matter was quite risky, even if Xun had a three-inch tongue in his mouth, he might not be able to retreat peacefully when he encountered Lu Bu's unreasonableness. But he has no other way, when this level is about to fall into the opportunity of life and death, he has to take risks, and he has to abandon his son.
In this regard, Cao Cao has a certain amount of guilt in his heart, and at the same time, he is afraid that Xun will not go, so ah, I will be more polite to Corporal Xian.
The play was a bit excessive, so scared that Xun Xian'er's liver trembled, and then the two of them put their arms into the camp, Cao Cao put forward the request in front of everyone, with a shy face, and also pointed at the frustration: "Zifu recommended, non-Hongfu can't do it." â
Shixun wanted to rise up on the spot and stab his heart coldly. He looked at Cao Cao, Cao Cao's pair of squinted eyes widened, and he even flickered, revealing infinite expectations in his eyes - Lao Cao, you are very virtuous, do you know? Looking around at everyone again, some people bowed their heads and groaned, and some people looked up to the sky, but none of them dared to meet their eyes.
The big guys are not stupid, and they know that this is pushing Shixun into the tiger's mouth. If Cao Cao asked, "Who can go and talk about Lu Bu." "Shixun still took the initiative to ask for help as before, so I saw that he was loyal and brave, and everyone believed that he would have a chance of victory. But this time Cao Cao directly ordered the general, and Shi Xun turned pale when he heard it, and everyone couldn't help but feel ashamed - we are incompetent, and we are in danger...... Don't look at me, I can't help you.
What to do? Rejected in one bite? No, no matter how great his credit is, no matter how close he is to Cao Cao, at this critical juncture, if he does not obey the order, it will still cause Cao Cao's endless resentment. The Zhou system has "eight discussions", and when it came to Cao Wei, it was officially entered into the law, called "eight discussions", including discussing relatives, discussing reasons, discussing virtues, discussing merits, etc., that is, according to the distance between relatives and the size of the merit, once a crime is committed, it may be reduced. The law is stipulated in this way, and theoretically human affection is nothing more than that, but in the monarch's mind, as long as he is dissatisfied with the proximity, virtue, and merit, as long as he is dissatisfied once, all kinds of things in the past can be forgotten. Shi Xun knew that Cao Cao was not forced to be in a hurry, and he would not let himself take risks, and once this military order was issued, if he was to be resigned, his status in Cao Cao's mind would inevitably plummet.
I still have infinite ambitions, and I still want to transform this society, this era? Walking a hundred miles and a half ninety-nine, I can't let go of the arms holding Cao Cao's thick legs at this time!
But immediately patted his chest and received the order? If there is really a good one, it is really "the king is a hero, the sea of blood is hated, and it is all dust......
This thief is here to trick me again, I knew that I would find all kinds of excuses not to come to the front line, so Cao Cao may not complain about himself more. I thought that I could sit in the rear and stay away from the war, even if I occasionally ran to the front line, it was just "strategizing", there was no risk, who would have thought that in the end, I would have to be a Feng woman again, and then engage in diplomacy......
Xun Gongda, it's not that I can't put myself in my position, it's Cao Cao who won't let me put myself in the right place! (To be continued......) R1292
