Chapter 260: A Guest Visits
That night, Cao Cao and Mrs. Bian played a game in the room for a while.
Speaking of Cao Cao's luck today, it was really not too good, and he actually led Mrs. Bian six times in a row, and he lost unbearably.
This Liubo game is a very popular game in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The two sides play a game, 12 ways of fighting, the middle of the two ends is 'water', 12 chess pieces, each side holds six pieces of white and black, respectively placed on the 12 curves in the game. Each side also has a round piece called a 'fish', which is placed in the 'water'. Then, each roll the dice. The number of moves is determined by the number of dice played. When the chess pieces reach the specified position, they can be erected, which is called 'Jiaoqi'. Then you can eat the 'fish' when you enter the 'water', which is called 'leading the fish'. Each time you pull a 'fish', you can get two chips. If you pull it twice, you can get three.
Whoever gets the first six chips is considered a winner.
This kind of game is very popular, and it is the most common game in the boudoir.
Mrs. Bian looked at Cao Cao's sweaty appearance, and couldn't help but smile coquettishly: "Sikong is a little absent-minded today, isn't there something on his mind?" ”
"Ah, no, no!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and was about to reset the game, but was stopped by Mrs. Bian.
"Sikong, if you have something on your mind, you might as well say it, and the concubine can share it for you."
Mrs. Bian is an extremely considerate woman, although she is getting older, she knows more and more how to please Cao Cao.
Cao Cao put down the chess pieces in his hand and said softly: "Madame, do you remember the one who killed the bear in Xu Tian at the beginning of the year?" ”
Mrs. Bian was stunned, "What Sikong said, but Uncle Liuhuang?" ”
"Exactly!"
Of course, the concubine remembered that if it weren't for him that time, the concubine and Yuwa would probably have been poisoned by that beast...... However, isn't Uncle Liu Huang already gone? The concubine heard about it. He was in a difficult situation in Liaodong, and Yuan Shao was also quite suspicious of him. Could it be that something happened to him? ”
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "How could that guy have an accident, it's a blessing that he doesn't cause trouble."
Yuan Shao did suppress him quite badly before, and the situation was indeed not very good. But now, there has been a change, that guy has attacked Liaodong since the beginning of winter, and in three months occupied the three counties of Liaodong, Xuansu and Lelang, and fought Goguryeo to make peace with him.
He's now. It has already gained a firm foothold in Liaodong.
If Yuan Shao wants to trouble him again, I'm afraid he will have to weigh it up......
I thought I had looked down on him. I didn't expect to underestimate his means. This time he turned his hands into clouds and hands for rain in Liaodong, but he did it very smartly. ”
Mrs. Bian looked surprised.
In her impression, Cao Cao rarely praised such a young man.
So to speak. This Uncle Liu Huang is really powerful. ”
"How awesome...... In my opinion, this guy is simply a demon, rising so quickly, but in his early twenties, he seems to be a prince. Before, I thought that Jiangdong Xiaobawang was powerful enough! But now it seems that Sun Ce may not be able to compare with him. ”
Cao Cao said this. Suddenly raised his head, "Madam, what do you say would happen if he was my son-in-law?" ”
"Huh?"
"I want to be at the beginning. That Lu Bu married a daughter to him, and he desperately helped Lu Bu...... Well, if he becomes my son-in-law, will he help me? ”
Mrs. Bian is so smart. That still can't hear the meaning of Cao Cao's words.
In my heart, there was a sudden gloom.
She had already guessed Cao Cao's intentions. Said softly: "Could it be a commonplace......
"I want someone to go and marry that Chuang'er, and after thinking about it, only Yuwa is the most suitable.
Counting it, Yuwa is almost fourteen years old this year, and it's time to find a good family with her. I think it's a good deal, what does Madame think? ”
Yuwa's name is Cao Xian, and it is recorded in the history books that she is 'beautiful and high'.
However, in terms of actual age, Cao Xian is only twelve years old. But in this era, people are calculated according to the imaginary age, so in Cao Cao's mouth, Cao Xian is fourteen. In ancient times, a woman could marry at fourteen. As for whether it is a virtual age or a real age, it also depends on the situation.
It seems that this kind of marriage with a very strong political meaning was not uncommon in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Mrs. Bian sighed, and said with a wry smile in her heart: After all, I can't avoid this experience.
In fact, if Cao Xian does not marry Liu Chuang this time, he will sooner or later fall victim to the marriage of the government.
In history, Cao Cao killed Empress Fu and married Cao Xian's three sisters to the Han Emperor in order to control the Han Emperor. It's just that at that time, Cao Xian's age was not young, so he was not suitable for being a queen, so he had to be a nobleman. In contrast, it was Cao Jie who became the queen.
Of course, Mrs. Bian knows that sooner or later there will be a battle between Cao Cao and Liu Chuang.
Now Cao Cao wants to marry his daughter to Liu Chuang because Liu Chuang can't pose a threat to him yet, and he can bargain for him.
Can be ...... in the future
Mrs. Bian sighed in her heart, but she still had a bright smile on her face, "Since Sikong said that Uncle Liu Huang is good, it must be excellent."
Yuwa has indeed reached the age of marriage, and some time ago she asked me why I hadn't seen the brother who killed the bear for a long time.
The concubine felt that Yuwa also had a good impression of Uncle Liu, and marrying Uncle Liu was a blessing. It's just that I heard that Uncle Liu Huang has already married a wife, and there are five wives and concubines, and Yuwa has married him, what is it? Is it possible to ask Yuwa to marry and make him a concubine? ”
When Cao Cao heard this, his face sank.
"How can that be!"
He put down the chess pieces in his hand and wandered around the house.
After a while, he said: "Why do you want to grab a name for Yuwa." ”
"But what if Uncle Liu Huang is unwilling?"
Cao Cao smiled, "How could he not be willing?" I remember that after he killed the bear, he had two heads, and he and Yuwa each got one. Isn't this a fateful marriage, and how can he be allowed to refuse? Well, so decided. I think Liu Mengyan is also a smart person! As long as he is a smart man, he will not refuse it. It's just that Yuwa's side asked Mrs. to say things on my behalf, so that she wouldn't be tricky at that time. ”
In fact, Cao Cao didn't know in his heart that he was pushing his daughter into the fire pit.
Now that he has no conflict with Liu Chuang, he needs Liu Chuang to contain Yuan Shao, so he is ready to marry his daughter to Liu Chuang.
But once he defeats Yuan Shao in the future, he will definitely face off against Liu Chuang. At that time, the daughter will fall into the tiger's mouth...... Although Cao Cao is a traitor, his love for his daughter is no different from ordinary people. But this is the political zhì. Cao Cao didn't have a choice.
Mrs. Bian also knows this very well in her heart.
She knew that this situation could not be changed by her as a woman, and she could only sigh in her heart.
"This matter, the concubine will explain it to Yuwa.
It's just ...... in the future."
Cao Cao was silent!
After a while, he stood up and said, "In the future, she will also be my jade baby." ”
It's an uncomfortable feeling...... It's like, just like the depression and sadness in Cao Cao's heart after Cao Ang's death in battle.
Maybe this time. is really going to lose the jade baby.
But what can be done?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When Cao Cao decided to send envoys to Liaodong, it was already the end of the year.
The New Year is coming soon, in the city of Linyu County, Liaoning Province. It's a colorful lantern.
Liu Chuang's victory in Liaodong made all the people who followed him to Liaodong feel very happy. This year, the weather in western Liaoning was very cold, but fortunately, Liu Chuang made arrangements in advance and invented ondols, charcoal stoves and other items for people to keep warm. Meantime. Liu Chuang sent Elfang to live in western Liaoning for two years, and he also had some preparations on how to resist the bitter cold weather. Liaodong is bitter cold, but those Karasuma people. Aren't Xianbei people living well here? If they can live here, why can't the Han Chinese?
To this end, Liu Chuang made sufficient preparations.
Hu people are good at using cow and sheep dung to live and heat, which can be regarded as a means of wintering.
There is no shortage of cattle and sheep in western Liaoning. Before that, Liu Chuang began to prepare and put away the cow and sheep dung. Dried in the sun for heating.
Of course, this kind of thing is impossible to use for Zheng Xuan and others.
But for those ordinary people, this kind of sun-dried cow and sheep manure is the most suitable heating material.
It is precisely because of so many preparations that no more than 100 people froze to death during the winter in western Liaoning this year, and most of them were due to physical reasons.
This also shows that the Han people can gain a foothold in Liaodong!
And Liu Chuang's victory in Liaodong made these migrated people rejoice.
Liu Chuang's victory is their victory.
Liu Chuang's foothold in Liaodong means that they can build their home in this remote place with peace of mind......
Winter is coming to an end.
Although the winter in Liaodong is long, at least most of it has passed.
When the spring flowers bloom and the snow melts, they can reclaim the land and sow the seeds of hope.
This is undoubtedly good news worth celebrating for those ordinary people who followed Liu Chuang to Liaoxi...... The people were happy, and Lu Bu and the others were also very happy. During the three months that Liu broke into Liao, Lu Bu also paid attention to the war in Liaodong all the time.
He also had to admit that the war situation in Liaodong was progressing really smoothly.
This is beyond Lu Bu's imagination...... Although he believed that Liu Chuang would definitely win a big victory, he did not expect that Liu Chuang would use such a thunderous momentum to reign in Liaodong.
"Gongtai, Meng Yan is in Liaodong this time, and he has done a really beautiful job!"
He brought Chen Gong over, and the two got together to eat and drink.
Previously, Chen Gong had been stationed in danger, and this time he came to Chongqing and was also sent by Liu Chuang.
As for what mission he undertook, Lu Bu didn't ask, and he didn't bother to ask. The two of them haven't seen each other for a long time, and now sitting together, they can't help but feel a lot of emotion.
"Yes, Uncle Huang is in Liaodong this time, and it can be said that he has swept thousands of troops.
Judging from the current form, it won't be long before Uncle Huang will definitely return to Liaoxi.
At that time, the four counties of Liaodong will all belong to the emperor's uncle, and their momentum will be much better than when they were in Beihai Kingdom. ”
Lu Bu was relieved and couldn't help laughing.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Lu Bu and Chen Gong said goodbye and returned home.
Maybe it's really old, and after eating some drinks, I have a feeling of smoke.
As soon as Lu Bucai entered the house, he saw the housekeeper come forward and whispered in his ear: "Wenhou, there is a guest at home, and I have been waiting for a long time. ”
Who's coming for me at such a late hour?
From the steward's words, Lu Bu heard a hint of clues.
This visitor must not be an acquaintance, otherwise the steward would have been able to report his name.
Lu Bu couldn't help but feel puzzled in his heart, so he stepped into the middle hall.
In the middle hall, there is a person sitting, looking not very old, that is, twenty-four or five, looking a little weak, but showing talent.
Seeing Lu Bu come in, the young man also stood up.
Lu Bu asked suspiciously: "Dare to ask who Mr. is, and what advice do you have for me?" ”
The young man smiled slightly, and replied: "In Shimoda Shi, there is a great wealth that I came here today, and I am here to dedicate it to the prince. ”
Tian Shi?
Haven't heard of it!
However, a trace of vigilance suddenly rose in Lu Bu's heart.
He remained silent, smiled and waved his hand to invite Tian Shi to sit down, and then ordered the steward to serve the wine.
"I have something to say to Mr. Tian, and I have an order that no one should approach within a hundred steps of the middle hall."
"Whoa!"
The steward hurriedly bowed down and hurriedly retreated.
Tian Shi said with a smile: "The prince and the marquis are like governing the army, and the rules are really strict. ”
Lu Bu smiled, then stared at Tian Shi and said, "Mr. Tian just said that there is a kind of wealth for me, but I don't know this, where to start?" ”
Tian Shi was not in a hurry and took a sip of wine.
"The prestige of the prince is known to everyone in the world.
Shi Zi has heard people mention the name of the prince since he was a child, but he has never met him, and he has always regretted it.
I want the prince to start from the state, fight the Tiger Prison Pass, and scare off the princes of the 22nd Road, how majestic? Since then, the prince has been crisscrossing the pass, defeating the Black Mountain thieves in Jizhou, and no one can stop him. It's a pity that Yuan Gong listened to the villain's slander, so that he became suspicious of the prince, which made the prince leave gloomily. However, the prince and the marquis galloped through Henan, and his majesty was undiminished...... When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Yuan Gong intended to send troops to rescue, but at that time, a decisive battle with Gongsun Zan was imminent, so he could not make the trip. Every time I think about it, Yuan Gong is also embarrassed......"
Lu Bu, a chilling cicada.
"Are you Yuan Shao's man?"
"My father, Tian Feng, is not driving in Jizhou."
Lu Bu came to his senses all of a sudden, his eyes couldn't help but squint into a line, and he looked Tian Shi up and down.
"Mr. Tian is here, is he here to humiliate Lu Bu?"
Tian Shi hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't misunderstand, Tian Shi has always admired the prince, how dare he humiliate the prince?"
After the First World War in Xuzhou, the whereabouts of the prince and the prince were unknown, and Duke Yuan often felt pity. Later, the prince re-emerged from the mountain in the Liugu River, and the bloody battle of Louzi Mountain was defeated, and the majesty of the year was not reduced. When Tian Shi learned about it, he was also very happy, so he risked his life to meet the prince today. ”
The corners of Lu Bu's mouth curled, but he didn't speak.
Tian Shi said again: "It's just that the look of the prince and the marquis is a little lonely.
The prince is now in his prime, and he should gallop the world and make contributions. Now that the traitorous ministers in the court are in charge, Yuan Gong wants to raise troops to clear the king's side, and specially invites the prince to go together to participate in the grand event. ”
"Really?"
Lu Bu's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
"The prince is very skilled, is it not possible to live in this wild and bitter cold land in western Liaoning?
I know that the prince is old and the emperor is kind, but the prince is willing to live in the next life? Today, Uncle Huang occupies Liaodong, which seems to have unlimited scenery, but in fact it is full of crises. The prince should not think about himself, but also for the sake of the emperor's uncle. If you can befriend Yuan Gong, wouldn't it be more secure? ”
Lu Bu gasped when he heard this.
After a while, he said softly: "But I don't know, Mr. Tian wants to make cloth, how to do it?" ”
ps: The second more is offered, please ask for a monthly pass!
