At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yingchuan, as the hinterland of the Central Plains, can be described as outstanding people and talents.

From the original Yingchuan Four Chiefs, Xun's Eight Dragons, all of them are first-class characters. In the Three Kingdoms period, after Xun Yu, a group of scholars from the Han family emerged and became the leader at that time. Among them, Guo Jia can be regarded as a representative of the poor family. But in addition to Guo Jia, there are also 'Zhuge Four Friends', which are well-known all over the world.

The four friends of Zhuge are Cui Jun, Cui Zhouping, Shi Tao, Shi Guangyuan, Meng Jian, Meng Gongwei, and Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi.

Among them, in addition to Cui Jun who is not from Yuzhou, Meng Jian is from Runan County, and Shi Tao and Xu Shu are both from Yingchuan......

Perhaps, in later generations, many people do not know Cui Jun, Meng Jian and Shi Tao, but when it comes to Xu Shu, many people will not feel unfamiliar.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Xinye's record of breaking the Eight Golden Lock Formations made many people familiar with Xu Shu.

Later, Cao Cao planned to deceive Xu's mother, Xu Shu was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and he did not offer a plan for Cao Cao throughout his life, and he became a conversation among later generations.

However, as far as Liu Chuang knows, there are too many fictional elements in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The reason why Xu Shu took refuge in Liu Bei was indeed because Xu's mother was obtained by Cao Cao. But it was not Cao Cao who asked Cheng Yu to imitate Xu Shu's handwriting and trick Xu's mother into Cao's camp. According to historical records, Liu Bei's army was defeated at Changbanpo, and Xu's mother was captured by Cao Cao. Now that I have lost my mother, I am in a mess, and it is useless, please say goodbye from now on.

This square inch of land refers to Xu Shu's heart.

Liu Chuang has always felt that the reason why Xu Shu left Liu Bei was probably because he was also dissatisfied with Liu Bei.

Otherwise, he could have left, and he didn't have to take Shi Tao to Cao Cao with him.

That Shi Tao has a very good relationship with Xu Shu, and has served as the county guard. Lieutenant of Diannong, and later as the Imperial Historian......

"Hengruo, after you arrive in Yingchuan, inquire about someone for me.

This person's name is Xu Shu, and he was previously named Xu Fu. I remember that during the Zhongping period, he was arrested by the government because of revenge...... Later, he abandoned the sword to study, and turned to learn. Probably in the early peace years, the Central Plains melee. Xu Shu traveled south to Jingzhou. After you arrive in Yingchuan, inquire about this person for me. He may not be in Yingchuan now, but his mother must be in Yingchuan, and I want you to help me find her. ”

Xiahou Lan was stunned and nodded in agreement.

"Also. This person is good friends with Shi Tao of Yingchuan County, although Shi Tao and Shi Guangyuan are not in Yingchuan now, but it is also a clue. ”

"Don't worry, Childe, I will find this person for Childe."

"Slow, after you find out the news of Xu Shu's mother, don't come to the door to disturb. Just take a sneaky and you're good to go. ”

Xia Houlan didn't quite understand what Liu Chuang meant, but since Liu Chuang ordered so, he naturally took the order and left.

"Brother Meng Yan, is this Xu Shu very powerful?"

Zhuge Liang listened on the sidelines. I couldn't help but ask.

Isn't it amazing?

I do not know......

Many of the stories in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are not credible, so Liu Chuang doesn't know how talented Xu Shu is. But since it can leave a name in the history books. It's not an easy role. What's more, Zhuge Siyou...... Now Cui Jun and Cui Zhouping are studying at Nanshan Academy. And he is the same as Zhuge Liang, and he studied under Zheng Xuanmen. Now that there is a Cui Zhouping, Liu Chuang wants to find this 'Zhuge Four Friends' to accompany Zhuge Liang. In the original history, Zhuge Siyou should be an extremely important figure in Zhuge Liang's growth stage. Although he now has a lot of friends in Nanshan Academy, Liu Chuang doesn't want him to miss such a process.

"This man is quite talented.

Although Kong Ming is extremely intelligent, he is the power of one person after all, and it is difficult to cover everything.

Xu Yuanzhi is older than you, he was a good fencing man in his early years, and later abandoned his sword to study, and experienced ups and downs, so he can't say that he can make up for you. If I can get this guy, I want you to get along with him. Mo was contemptuous because of his humble origins. ”

Even now, Liu Chuang is worried that Zhuge Liang will take the old road of doing his best.

He didn't want Zhuge Liang to do his best, as long as he could control the overall situation for himself...... And Xu Shu and these people will definitely be Zhuge Liang's good helpers in the future, and I believe that when these people are together, Zhuge Liang can burst out with more powerful energy than in history.

Zhuge Liang's eyes widened, revealing a look of confusion.

He didn't understand why Liu Chuang wanted to find such a person, but he believed that what Liu Chuang did must be good for him.

"Brother Meng Yan, don't worry, Kong Ming knows what to do."

Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhuge Liang's head, his eyes were full of anticipation.

Kong Ming, Kong Ming, when will you really grow up and show your outstanding talent of 'wisdom is more than demons'?

Regarding Liu Chuang's arrangement, Du Yi naturally had no complaints.

He also knows Liu Chuang's current situation, and the joint burial of his parents is a major event. How can a man who is a son of man not bother with some thoughts?

Now, Du Ji eats Liu Chuang's and lives in Liu Chuang's, so he naturally has to do his best for Liu Chuang. The next day, he and Xiahoulan rode off with fifty flying bears and went to Yingchuan to meet Liu Tao's coffin. In addition, he also wanted to choose a feng shui treasure in Yingchuan and bury Liu Tao and his wife together.

Cao Cao also knows this.

He even felt that he couldn't stand Liu Chuang, so he also ordered Xiahou Yuan, the Taishou of Yingchuan County, and the officials of the Changshe to assist Du Qi and others in doing things.

Of course, Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan also sent people back to give convenience to Du Yi and others.

Time passed quietly.

Seeing the arrival of the tenth day of the new year, Xu Tian's siege is imminent.

On the ninth day of the first month, it rained lightly overnight.

By the second day, the rain had passed and the sky was clear.

Before dawn, Tiancun, which was twenty miles away from Xudu, was waving flags and crowds.

In order to besiege this time, Cao Cao mobilized all the soldiers and horses around Xudu, nearly 30,000 people, and camped outside Xudu. The Han Emperor straddled the free horse, with a treasure carving bow, gold bolt arrows, and drove out of the city. Cao Cao even straddled Huang Feidian and led his generals to follow the Han Emperor.

That claw yellow flying. The whole body is snow-white, and the four hooves have a yellow mane, which shines golden in the morning light, and is arrogant.

This horse is also Cao Cao's most beloved BMW.

In terms of bloodline, it is almost on par with Liu Chuang's elephant dragon.

It is said that the claw yellow flying lightning is also a sweaty BMW...... But. When it runs, it doesn't mean that it is bleeding sweat, but that its skin will be flushed with blood, and it will look from afar. It's like blood-colored sweat, it's amazing.

Liu Chuang, as a member of the clan, was named by the Han Emperor to accompany the guard.

Therefore, Liu Chuang and Cao Cao almost walked side by side, with Liu Chuang's three hundred flying bears on one side and Cao Cao's elite tiger and leopard on the other. Two teams of cavalry, both dressed in black iron armor. exudes a sense of slaughter. Cao Cao looked at the three hundred flying bears riding, and couldn't help but admire.

"Meng Yan's iron cavalry can be called a sharp warrior."

Liu Chuang's face showed a touch of pride.

"But I don't know if it can be compared to the Sikong Tiger and Leopard Ride?"

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this. couldn't help laughing: "Since Meng Yan has spoken, it's better to have a try." ”

"Oh?"

Liu Chuang raised his eyebrows, "Dare to ask Sikong, how do you want to compete?" ”

"It's simple. Let's compare and see today's siege. Who's getting the most out of it.

Meng Yan, whoever wins, will do one thing for the other party. This request must not be excessive, I don't know if Meng Yan dares to agree? ”

"That's going to be a try."

The two men walked side by side, one tall and short.

Zhong Xuan, who was marching closely among the military officials, couldn't help but say to a person beside him: "Gongda, if Meng Yan was born twenty years earlier, I will do my best to help him." ”

Xun You was stunned and turned his gaze to Liu Chuang and Cao Cao.

In the morning light, two backs that look extremely discordant, for some reason, give people a wonderful feeling.

Xun You's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said softly: "It doesn't have to be twenty years, if Ziqi is still here, even if Meng Yan is young, I will help him." ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhong Xuan, and an indescribable brilliance flashed in his eyes.

"Yuan Chang, can Meng Yan really be subservient?"

Zhong Xuan's body trembled, and his face showed a look of confusion.

"If Meng Yan really wants to leave in the future, will you help him or not?"

"Gongda, what about you?"

Xun You said softly: "My Xun clan has a second uncle, so why bother with it?" ”

Since ancient times, the way of survival of the family is nothing more than one sentence: spread the net universally and focus on fishing.

Now, the Xun family seems to have put all the bets on Cao Cao. Xun Yan, Xun Yu, and Xun Yu all served under Cao Cao's account...... But in fact, they have another bet, that is, Xun Chen. So regardless of Cao Cao's victory or defeat, the Xun family can continue. But Zhong's family has only one choice so far, and that is Cao Cao. Of course, this is also related to the sparseness of the Zhong family.

Even if Zhong Xuan has the heart to cast a net, he doesn't have so many resources.

Xun You's words made Zhong Xuan hesitate.

After pondering for a long time, he said softly: "If I am a Gongda, what should I do?" ”

"I think, the public aid is good!"

Zhong Miao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

The person Xun You said was Zhong Xuan's nephew Guo Yuan. Although Guo Yuan is not a child of the Zhong family, he is also inextricably linked with the Zhong family.

As everyone knows, in history, Guo Yuan finally took refuge in Yuan Shang.

In the seventh year of Jian'an, Yuan Shang ordered Guo Yuan, Hu Chuquan and Gao Gan to attack Hedong.

Everywhere Guo Yuan passed, the cities and towns were all down, almost as if they were swept. Unfortunately, later, Cao Cao sent Zhong Xuan to besiege Huchuquan, forcing Guo Yuan to return to the rescue. For this nephew, Zhong Xuan really knows too well. So he united with Ma Teng and attacked while Guo Yuan crossed the river.

In the end, Guo Yuan was killed by Pang De, and Zhong Miao cried when he saw Guo Yuan's head.

Now that Xun You mentioned Guo Yuan, Zhong Xuan's heart couldn't help but move. Xun You is right, Liu Chuang is so arrogant, how can he really be willing to be Cao Cao's subordinates? If he wants to escape, what are you helping him with? Or don't you help? Among them, it is not only about family affection, but also more likely to determine the rise and fall of the family. Zhong Miao is optimistic about Cao Cao, which does not mean that he puts all his bets on Cao Cao.

"Meng Yan, can it be done?"

When Xun You heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "How could Yuan Chang say such stupid things, how can you and I predict the future?" ”

yes, the future......

Zhong Xuan's eyes flickered, and he was silent.

Xun You no longer spoke, but silently recited in his heart: Youruo. I have already done what you entrusted me, and then, I only look at Meng Yan's own means.

30,000 sharp soldiers, lined up in the paddock, nearly 300 miles.

Emperor Han seemed to be interested in the bet between Cao Cao and Liu Chuang, and couldn't help but say: "Sikong, since I made a bet with Uncle Huang, I also want to make a bet with Sikong." It's better to let the clan and the generals have a try. See who gets more? I don't know if Sikong dares to agree? ”

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Since His Majesty has this Yaxing, there is no need for everyone to join, so let my Cao family disciples compete with the clan. How is it? ”

"Haha, Sikong is so courageous, then give it a try?"

After speaking, Emperor Han looked at Liu Chuang, and said with a smile on his face: "I don't know the emperor's uncle, are you willing to make a name for the clan?" ”

"I don't dare to ask for ears!"

Liu Chuang bowed on the horse. Then he looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao showed a smile, and suddenly turned around and shouted: "Today I made a bet with Uncle Huang to see who gained the most." I, a boy from the Cao family, should strive to be the first. The winner will be rewarded with a horse and a thousand gold. ”

Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.

This Cao Cao was so shameless that he actually combined the two gambling games into one.

But. He was not afraid, and was even a little eager to try. And the children of the Cao family. One by one...... In the past period of time, Liu Chuang's name has been so loud that everyone is unconvinced. Hearing that Liu Chuang and Cao Cao were betting, of course they wanted to make a good show and suppress Liu Chuang's momentum. Not only the second-generation children of the Cao family, but even Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Cao Ren and others also showed excitement.

"It's so unfair!"

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, he heard someone shouting loudly.

Xu Huangzong immediately stepped forward and said, "Since it's a competition, why do you want to leave us aside?" ”

"Yes, Sikong is eccentric."

Yue Xi also stepped forward and said: "I and other people with foreign surnames also want to participate in it." ”

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, "In that case, all those who are not surnamed Cao will also join!" ”

In an instant, the paddock cheered.

Emperor Han planned to take this opportunity to steal the limelight from Cao Cao, but looking at this scene, he couldn't help but secretly complain...... In this way, Liu Chuang is one against two. Regardless of whether it is the children of the Cao surname or the generals with the foreign surname who wins, on the side of the clan, it seems that there is only one Liu Chuang who can be reused.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, don't forget, there is still Liu Bei in the clan."

Dong Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in Emperor Han's ear.

Liu Bei was recommended by him to Emperor Han, although he was not reused, Dong Cheng still hoped that Liu Bei could raise his eyebrows and earn face for him.

"If that's the case, that's not bad!"

Emperor Han felt a little steady in his heart, nodded slightly, and agreed.

Dong Cheng immediately sent someone to inform Liu Bei to get ready.

Liu Bei was in the crowd, bending his bow and inserting arrows with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, wearing a hidden armor inside, holding a weapon, and being silent with fifty white eyes.

After receiving Dong Cheng's instructions, Liu Bei was moved.

He also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to become famous, but after thinking about it again, he dispelled his thoughts.

"Later, when you fight the siege, you can shoot a little, and you don't need to be the first."

"Brother, why is that?" Guan Yu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help asking.

Liu Bei said: "I won, and I will also fulfill that Chuang'er, what does it have to do with my brother?" If the limelight is too strong, people will be jealous, but it will not be beautiful. ”

Guan Yu was a little dissatisfied.

But since Liu Bei ordered like this, he couldn't refute it.

It's just that I am thinking in my heart: My brother always says that he is a relative of the Han family, and now the clan is weak, and he should strive to be the first, why does he abandon the righteousness because of personal grievances? I think that at the beginning, we walked together for the prosperity of the Han family, but now...... Something seems to have changed the taste.

Naturally, he couldn't have said these words.

In the distance, the war drums suddenly rumbled, and the encircled sergeants shouted in unison.

The animals and beasts that hid in the mountains and forests were frightened and rushed out of the woods and from the bushes.

With the sound of three-way drums, Liu Chuang led the flying bear to ride and rushed out of the team. Xiao Ling and Tai Shixiang were around Liu Chuang, and they saw them bending their bows and arrows on their horses, and the arrows were flying. At first, Liu Chuang's siege was quite smooth, and he soon hunted more than a dozen rabbits. But it didn't take long for him to realize that something was wrong. Whenever he leads someone to find a target, someone suddenly appears and drives the prey away.

Among these people, there are children of the Cao family, and there are also generals with foreign surnames.

Liu Chuang suddenly reined in the war horse and looked left and right.

The children of the clan are fighting their own battles, and they look scattered. Many people come to fight with the idea of having fun, and they don't have any intentions. On the other hand, the children surnamed Cao and those generals with foreign surnames, although they hunted separately, vaguely cooperated with each other to interfere.

"Childe, if you go on like this, I'm afraid you can't compare to the other party."

Xiao Ling also saw that something was wrong, and couldn't help but step forward and said: "On our side, there are always people running to make trouble, how can we compare to those guys and cooperate properly?" ”

"yes, it's hard to win like this."

Liu Chuang pondered for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "Since they want to make trouble, then let's act separately."

Zisheng, Yuan Fu, you two each take one hundred and twenty people to hunt and kill, I'm here, attract these fools, and see how long they can make trouble. ”

Xiao Ling and Tai Shixiang glanced at each other and immediately understood what Liu Chuang meant.

The two men turned their horses and walked away, roaring away with two groups of cavalry, and immediately divided into three groups of men and horses.

"Zilin, why did they separate?"

Seeing Liu Chuang and the others acting separately, Xiahou Nan couldn't help frowning.

"Boquan, it seems that Liu Chuang has already seen our intentions, so he is divided into three ways.

You and I each lead a team of people, follow those two teams of people, Xiahou Jie Xia Houen, you two lead people to continue to follow Liu Chuang, and he must not be allowed to win. ”

Xiahou and Cao can be described as one.

Xiahou Nan's wife is Cao Cao's eldest daughter.

And that Xiahou Boquan, named Xiahou Heng, is the eldest son of Xiahou Yuan, and the wife he married is also the daughter of the Cao family.

These brothers are determined to fight Liu Chuang to the end. Liu Chuang divided the troops, and they also divided the troops, just to embarrass Liu Chuang.

Seeing a team of soldiers and horses rushing into the field, Emperor Han's mood also became a little complicated.

He suddenly felt that it didn't seem like a good idea for him to get involved in the gamble between Cao Cao and Liu Chuang.

Looking at the children of the clan, laughing and playing one by one, how can they have the idea of making a name for the clan? This also made him very dissatisfied...... But the clan is weak, and it can't be changed in a day. wanted to take the opportunity of the siege to cheer up the clan, who would have thought that it would be such a situation.

Cao Cao urged the horse to come to the Han Emperor's horse, "Your Majesty, since it is a siege, why not have fun with the people?" ”
