Chapter 293: Xu Yu Runs at Night (1/2)
The trial was in Yecheng and Xu You's family was arrested.
According to the investigation, Xu You's family accepted bribes and was suspected of perverting the law for bribes. In the eyes of most people, Xu You's family dared to do this, and they must have been instructed by Xu You. Yuan Shao was already dissatisfied with Xu You, and after receiving the letter of trial, he was even more annoyed.
"Ziyuan, you better go back and take care of your family."
Yuan Shao reprimanded Xu You sharply, making Xu You ashamed.
He didn't expect that his family would still be fighting at this time. The sudden arrest of his family members by the judge was undoubtedly motivated to suppress him. Xu You is not a greedy person for money, but he was so humiliated in front of the public, and he was very angry in his heart.
After leaving the big tent, the more Xu You thought about it, the more unhappy he became......
He suddenly felt that Yuan Shao was not the master he imagined! In other words, today's Yuan Shao is no longer the friend of the past, and has already changed.
That's right, Yuan Shao is now powerful, and there are many talents under his account.
But what can be done?
Although he has a lot of talents, he can't make the most of them, and there are many factions that fight each other. If it were in normal times, Xu You's family might not be taken to heart, and even cooperated. But at the moment of this great enemy, he was giving advice to Yuan Shao in the front, but there were people in the rear who were thinking about how to calculate him. This feeling is really uncomfortable, and it makes people lose hope.
The more Xu You thought about it, the more annoyed he felt.
He sat alone in the military tent, his face cloudy, and after a long time, he suddenly made up his mind.
Anyway, since Yuan Shao treats me like this, then don't blame me for not being emotional...... How could he defeat Cao Cao if he allowed his subordinates to engage in such infighting?
Cao Cao is indeed in a weak position at the moment, but his subordinates are hugging together and working together.
Xu Yu thought twice. Gritted his teeth and walked out of the tent.
At this point, it's getting late.
In the camp of the Yuan army, there was silence.
Xu Yu stepped out of the door and was not hindered too much.
He took advantage of the night and quietly left the Yuan army camp, and then went straight to the Cao army camp.
At this time, Cao Cao was having a headache for the grain and grass. Knowing that Xu You was coming, he was stunned at first, and then seemed to understand something. He ran out of the tent barefoot and weary.
"Ziyuan, you finally came to see me!"
Cao Cao and Xu You had an excellent relationship in their early years.
It's just that as Xu You later followed Yuan Shao, there was less contact between the two.
At first glance, seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Xu You couldn't help but smile.
Before he could speak, Cao Cao had already come to him. As soon as he took Xu You's hand, he walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
After sitting down in the big tent, Cao Cao didn't ask Xu You why he came, but just chatted with him about all kinds of old things when he was in Luoyang.
Xu You laughed in his heart, and suddenly said: "Meng De, now that you are so nervous about the original war, do you have a chance of winning?" ”
Cao Cao was stunned. looked at Xu You for a long time and didn't answer.
He was also thinking in his heart, why did Xu Yu suddenly come to visit late at night?
Seeing that Cao Cao didn't speak, Xu Yu let out a light sigh. He told Cao Cao what happened to him, and then changed his words and said, "Today I have come to defect to Meng De." But I don't know if Meng De can accept it? ”
Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "I look forward to Ziyuan, like a long drought and a long drought." ”
"Now Meng De and Ben Chuang have been holding each other in Guandu for several months, if they continue to fight. I'm afraid that Mengde will not be sustainable.
Although Meng De united with Uncle Liu Huang, he caused him to wreak havoc in Youzhou. But Uncle Liu Huang seems to be a rootless wanderer after all. Even if he occupies Youzhou, it will be difficult to contain too much power in the beginning. If Meng De wants to win, he needs to fight quickly. I have a plan to make Meng De defeat Yuan Shao. ”
Cao Cao hurriedly sat up straight, and said with a respectful expression: "I want to hear about it." ”
Xu Yu closed his eyes, revealing a hint of hesitation.
After a long time, he spoke: "After months of fierce fighting, I was also tired at the beginning.
Meng De intercepted the grain road several times, which also made him feel embarrassed. Not long ago, he ordered someone to escort a batch of grain and grass from Jizhou and hoard it in the old city and Wuchao. This batch of grain and grass can ensure that there will be no worries about grain and grass from the beginning to the end of the year, and then he will have no worries and go all out.
At that time, Mengde will inevitably be under great pressure.
I have a plan, the old city and the Wuchao granary are the grain and grass of Yuan Shao's 100,000 army, and Meng Deke can attack at night and intercept the Wuchao granary...... If the black nest can be captured, Yuan Shao will have a grain and grass crisis. Even if he wanted to be requisitioned from Jizhou, he would not be able to raise enough food and grass for 100,000 people in the short term. In this way, Yuan Jun will inevitably be in turmoil! Meng De only had to order men to defend the fort to the death, and he could guarantee a great victory. ”
Cao Cao chuckled in his heart, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
"You can tell from afar, who is guarding the black nest?"
"The one who guards the black nest is Yuan Shao's general Lu Weihuang...... Speaking of which, I have a good relationship with Lu Weihuang, and if Meng De believes me, I will surrender him for you. ”
Cao Cao suddenly perked up and nodded again and again.
He could see that Xu You was sincere in his ...... After thinking for a while, he made a decision, and ordered Le Jin Yu to sit in Cao Ying, and Cao Cao personally led his troops, with Xiahoudun as the vanguard, led 5,000 light cavalry, and Xu You ran overnight to attack Wuchao......
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Zhuo County, government office.
Liu Chuangduan sat on top of the yatang, and Zhengzai carefully looked at Zhuge Jin who was sitting on the side.
This Zhuge Jin's figure is not as tall and strong as Zhuge Liang. The slightly thin body exudes a bit of a weak bookish atmosphere.
Between the eyebrows, you can see some similarities with Zhuge Liang.
But if you look closely, you find that his appearance is quite different from Zhuge Liang.
How so?
Zhuge Jin did not have Zhuge Liang's heroic spirit, and his words were a little restrained.
It was Lu Xun, who was sitting under Zhuge Jin, who looked calm. Although he is not very old, he exudes strong self-confidence in his gestures.
"Ziyu is here, why is it here?"
When Liu Chuang was observing Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Jin was also secretly looking at Liu Chuang.
This was the first time he saw Liu Chuang, and he was extremely curious. Speaking of which, he and Liu Chuang are relatives, and they are Liu Chuang's brother-in-law. But for some reason, in front of Liu Chuang, he felt extremely nervous. Especially when Liu Chuang's eyes fell on him, Zhuge Jin had an inexplicable fear.
"Uncle Huang, Jin came to Youzhou to be sent by my second son.
The second son often mentioned the name of the imperial uncle to me, saying that he was very kind to the imperial uncle and benefited a lot. The Jiangdong Sun family has always been loyal to the Han family and has been friends with the imperial uncle for many years. It's a pity that the eldest prince was instigated by a traitor later, so that the relationship between the two families was damaged. The second son always mentions this matter. They were quite indignant, and even thought it was a pity...... Today, the eldest son is harmed by Xiaoxiao, and the second son is in charge of the six counties and eighty-one counties of Jiangdong at the age of a weak crown, and he feels a huge responsibility. Therefore they commanded me to come. I hope to get the understanding of the emperor. ”
Zhuge Jin's posture is extremely low, and it also shows Sun Quan's attitude.
Liu Chuang was stunned at first, but even though he understood the reason, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"A few years ago, when I first met Bo Fu, I reminded him that he was unprepared. Sooner or later, he will die at the hands of the puppeteer...... I didn't think about it, but I turned it into a prophecy. Zhongmou is magnanimous and elegant, and I praise him very much. It's just that now I'm far away in Liaodong. And how can you help Zhongmou? ”
Zhuge Jin's face changed, revealing a little bitterness.
He could hear that Liu Chuang was actually quite dissatisfied with the Sun family.
And no wonder. When he was in Guangling, if it weren't for Sun Ce's defection. How could Liu Chuang take such a big risk and go to Xu Du to be a prisoner?
Although from the situation at the time, whether there was Sun Ce's defection or not, Liu Chuang had to go to Xu Du and his party.
But in my heart, after all, I am a little uncomfortable......
Now, Jiaozhou Shixie is eyeing Yuzhang, and Liu Chuang's uncle Liu Yong has sent troops to lead the mountain several times and stationed in Yuzhangshui, which poses a great threat to Jiangdong. If it weren't for the sparse population of Jiaozhou and the lack of troops. In addition, the troops were dispatched from Jiaozhou, and the road was difficult to travel, so that the grain and grass were unsustainable, and it was impossible to say that Liu Yong had already crossed the Yuzhang Water and hit the city of Luling, which directly threatened the safety of Yuzhang County.
This situation is undoubtedly a huge trouble for Sun Quan, who was in charge of Jiangdong for the first time.
What Sun Quan needs most now is a steady dìng...... However, if Yuzhang cannot be stabilized, it is likely to cause chaos in the other counties.
Dealing with the state?
Liu Yong is now a captain of Longchuan, and he is a pretending to be the Taishou of Nanhai County, which can be described as a one-man pass, and he can't be opened.
And Shixie also attaches great importance to Liu Yong, even to the point of obeying his words. With the relationship between Shixie and Liu Chuang's family, coupled with Liu Chuang's continuous growth, and now he is even more dominant in Youzhou, faintly becoming a prince, Shixie will not turn his face with Liu Chuang at this time......
It is said that since the beginning of the year, Shixie has increased trade with Liaodong.
A large number of Karasuma people who were captured by Liu Chuang were continuously sent to Jiaozhou, and Shixie also continued to send supplies from Jiaozhou to Liaodong.
The two sides do not have any conflict of interest, and they have formed a strong alliance with the world.
Of course, Sun Quan knew that if he wanted Jiaozhou to stop attacking, Liu Chuang must come forward to make peace, otherwise Shixie would not be able to stop Liu Yong.
Zhuge Jin hesitated for a moment and continued: "Although Uncle Huang is in Liaodong, his prestige has already spread to Jiaozhi.
If Uncle Huang is willing to make peace, I believe that Shi Xie Taishou will definitely give Uncle Huang some thin noodles...... I am up and down Jiangdong, and I will definitely be grateful to Uncle Huang for this. ”
Liu Chuang was silent!
He closed his eyes and pretended to be in deep thought.
After a while, he said, "I can come forward in this matter."
But it's a big deal, and I need to counsel with someone...... Now Kong Mingyuan is in Shanggu, and I have ordered him to rush back immediately. It's better to do this, after Kong Ming comes back, I will discuss with him before making a decision. Ziyu came from the sea and traveled a long distance, which must have been very hard. Why don't you stay here for two days and take a look at the scenery of the north...... Hehe, although the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, the scenery of the north is unique. ”
Having said that, Zhuge Jin also knew that he couldn't be forced too hard.
Since Liu Chuang said that he could discuss, it shows that he still has a good impression of Jiangdong.
At that moment, he and Lu Xun got up to say goodbye.
Liu Chuang sent the two out of the yatang, looking at the backs of the two of them, but a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
Lu Xun is very low-key, but Liu Chuang can see that Lu Xun seems to have something to say...... It seems that the situation in Jiangdong is even more complicated than imagined. Liu Chuang stood on the porch with his hands in his hands, the corners of his mouth curled up after a while, and a strange smile immediately appeared on his face.
It's night, Zhuo County's night ban.
Liu Chuang welcomed a guest in the backyard of the mansion.
"Bo Yan came to visit late at night, I don't know what to say?"
At night in Youzhou, the temperature is low and cold.
In the water pavilion, the charcoal fire in the fire pond is blazing. Liu Chuang sat on a Taishi chair, looked at Lu Xun who came alone late at night, and asked with a smile.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, most people liked to kneel and sit.
There are sofas and chairs, but I don't think it's convenient.
Liu Chuangsuo ordered people to build the Eight Immortals Table and the Taishi Chair, which were specially used to receive guests.
Lu Xun sat on the Taishi chair, and he was also a little curious. I have to say that sitting on this Taishi chair is indeed more comfortable than that couch.
"Uncle Huang. Ming people don't do dark things, they want to come to Lu Xun's intentions, and Uncle Huang also guessed some.
I'm here for one thing. When Xun left Jiangdong, he was sent by Jiangdong's father. There is a sentence I want to ask Uncle Pope......"
Compared with Zhuge Jin, Lu Xun seems to be a little more free and easy.
In front of Liu Chuang, he was not as restrained as Zhuge Jin, and his demeanor was extremely calm.
After all, it is from a big family, and Lu Xun's bearing and cultivation are indeed not comparable to Zhuge Jin. Although the Zhuge clan is also a famous family in Langya, it has been in decline for many years after all. Lu Xun is different. The Lu family has been in Jiangdong for a hundred years, and Lu Xun took on the responsibility of the Lu family earlier, so although he is not very old, he has this bearing. is indeed higher than Zhuge Jin, which makes Liu Chuang secretly praise.
"But I don't know Jiangdong's father, what questions do you have?"
Lu Xun said: "Today, Yuan Cao is fighting, and the emperor thinks it." Who wins? ”
"Yuan Cao competes, and the fisherman profits."
Lu Xun's eyes lit up. "Dare to ask, who is the fisherman?"
Liu Chuang said with a smile: "The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise......"
"Dare to ask Uncle Huang, can Jiangdong be a fisherman?"
Liu Chuang's eyes froze, looked at Lu Xun, and smiled slightly after a while, "Jiangdong can be in a safe corner, but it is difficult to chase the country."
If Sun Bofu is alive, there may still be a few chances, now Bofu was killed, although Zhongmou is extremely talented, but it is difficult to compete with the heroes of the world.
Since the Han Dynasty, Jiangdong has been standing on its own in the southeast.
However, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, if it is not integrated with the Central Plains, it will always be difficult to become a climate. I already know what he means. However, in this Jiangdong matter, after all, you Jiangdong people are in charge, and you can only decide what to do. ”
Lu Xun was silent and fell into deep thought.
He came to Liaodong here, entrusted by the heads of several wealthy families in Jiangdong, and also wanted to find out Liu Chuang's attitude towards the Jiangdong clan.
Although Sun Quan has been appeasing the Jiangdong Shi clan, it is a pity that the grievances between Sun Ce and the Jiangdong Shi clan have been quite deep, which has also made many people hesitate.
Will you accept Sun Quan's rule, or will you find someone else?
Jiangdong is strong and quite entangled.
And Liu Chuang's answer made Lu Xun quite praised.
Koto is the Gangdong of the Han Dynasty! However, you still have to be in charge of your Jiangdong affairs, and I will never interfere in it.
In fact, this is also a kind of Cheng dù, acquiescing to the interests of the Jiangdong Shi clan.
For Jiangdong Haoqiang, what they need is such a benefit......
"Uncle Huang's meaning, Xun already knows."
Lu Xun got up and waved at Liu Chuang, and then said: "In addition, I have a private matter in Liaodong, and I want to ask Uncle Huang for help." ”
"Please!"
Lu Xun's face showed a look of surprise.
"Before Xun set off, he was entrusted by the family to ask the emperor's uncle to ask for someone on his behalf."
The family is the father-in-law.
Is Lu Xun married?
Liu Chuang was stunned, and then reacted.
vaguely remembers that it is recorded in the history books that Lu Xun's wife is Sun Ce's daughter. So Liu Chuang didn't care too much about it, and always thought that Lu Xun hadn't married a wife yet. But now it seems that Lu Xun's marriage to Sun Ce's daughter should belong to the second marriage. Otherwise, Sun Ce's daughter is estimated to be only five or six years old now, even if people in the Eastern Han Dynasty got married earlier, it would be impossible for Lu Xun to marry Sun Ce's daughter at this time.
Moreover, there is a deep grudge between Lu Xun and Sun Ce.
During this period, the relationship between the two sides has not eased, how could Lu Xun marry Sun Ce's daughter?
Thinking about the mystery, Liu Chuang couldn't help but be a little curious, "But I don't know who is Uncle Yan?" ”
"The family is Gu Yong of Wu County, but I don't know if Uncle Huang has ever heard of it?"
Gu Yong?
Liu Chuang nodded, "Wu Jun Gu Yuan sighed, how can I not know?" ”
In history, Gu Yong's reputation is far less than that of Lusu Zhuge Jin. But in fact, Gu Yong, who was the head of Hefei at the age of a weak crown, has served in several counties, and has quite a lot of political achievements. After Sun Quan was in power, he appointed Gu Yong as the county governor of Huiji, and the affairs of the county of Huiji. After continuous promotion, he became the second prime minister of Soochow, held the phase for 19 years, and was also an important minister in the rise of Soochow......
However, Gu Yong has not yet been reused by Sun Quan at present.
The reason why Liu Chuang knew about Gu Yong was because he heard it from Bu Qi's mouth.
The Gu clan of Wujun is a famous family, one of the several powerful families in Jiangdong, and in terms of fame, I am afraid that it is not inferior to the Lu family.
Unexpectedly, these two families became in-laws, which surprised Liu Chuang.
"Dare to ask Mr. Gu what advice he has?"
Lu Xun showed a look of surprise and said softly: "Since Uncle Huang knows the name of the family, he has to bother with words.
However, Uncle Huang probably doesn't know that the family once studied under Cai Yong. In this matter, it has something to do with Bo Jiaogong......"
When Liu Chuang heard this, he became more and more puzzled.
Cai Yong Cai Bo Jiao?
He knows this person, Cai Wenji's father...... Unexpectedly, Gu Yong actually studied under Cai Yong, which surprised Liu Chuang. It's just that Mr. Cai Yong has passed away for almost ten years! Since Dong Zhuo was killed, Cai Yong was killed by Wang Yun...... This Lu Xun suddenly mentioned Cai Yong, and what Gu Yong asked for was still related to Cai Yong? Liu Chuang was a little confused and couldn't understand the key.
"Please speak clearly."
Lu Xun sighed and said softly: "Don't hide it from Uncle Huang, Uncle Gong has a daughter under his knees, named Yan, the word Zhaoji, and smart since childhood.
It's a pity that the face is thin, although Cai is talented, but he has a lot of fate. In the early years, she married Wei Zhongdao, the son of the Wei clan in Hedong, but she didn't think that Wei Zhongdao died of illness, and Cai's family has been following Bo Jiaogong's side. After Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiongnu invaded Chang'an and kidnapped the Cai family.
In his early years, he was taught by Bo Gong, so this time Lu Xun came to Liaodong, and he ordered me to implore Uncle Huang to welcome everyone back on behalf of Cai. ”
