Chapter 164: Northwest Storm
After Sima Yi's sobbing and choking explanation, Yuan Shang roughly understood the reason.
That night, Sima Yi was sitting in Yuan Shang's room, humming a tune, and brewing sentiments, but the door was opened.
Qing'er didn't wait, what he saw was the appearance of the fourth prince Yuan Mai and the big ghost.
Yuan Mai entered the house and didn't do anything else, and shouted at Sima Yi: "What are you doing here, what about my third brother?" ”
Sima Yi naturally recognized the youngest son of the Yuan family, hurriedly got up to salute, and asked Yuan Mai why he came to Yuan Shang's residence late at night?
At that time, Yuan Mai raised his nostrils, pinched his small waist, and looked like a gentleman, very arrogant, not cute at all, and said to Sima Yi: "I heard that you and my brother have been fighting Qing'er's idea recently, don't you know that he is the child daughter-in-law who has long been determined by my son?" It's my dish! You two are going to stay cool! ”
Sima Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he laughed, disapproving, a seven-year-old doll, the guy under the crotch of his pants has not yet grown a sharp rope, how can he also do the business of competing for flowers and butterflies?
is worthy of being Yuan Shang's younger brother, it's really out of tune!
Sima Yi was too lazy to pay attention to Yuan Mai at the moment, and then waved his hand and coaxed him to drive Yuan Mai out of the room, but he didn't want this kid to be prepared, seeing that Sima Yi didn't take him seriously, he immediately ripped his clothes in a mess, and slashed his two big ears and scrapers, making himself extremely embarrassed, and then twisted his eyebrows, and pouted his mouth, just crying and shouting, "Someone is rude!" ”
I have to say. Xiao Yuan bought it in the later generations, but he has the temperament of a child star. The acting is realistic, and the cry is in place. Coupled with the special skill of crying and playing with a big runny nose, it immediately attracted a large number of people from the entire Yuan Mansion, including the current Lafayette of the Yuan Mansion, Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu is famous for her pungent and vicious temperament in the whole Hebei family, and she is also a well-known calf protector, who dares to touch a single hair on her child's body. The Liu family can pull all the hair off that person's body and make a feather duster, not to mention that it is rude to be the youngest son now!
Is it tolerable or unbearable! I haven't killed anyone in the past few days, have you forgotten what my mother's temper is?
So, Sima Yi changed. It became a big tea jar and a cup.
This is also Sima Yi is Yuan Shang's minister on weekdays, if it is replaced by someone else, Liu will be able to castrate him on the spot!
But even so, Liu did not spare Sima Yi lightly, first served with a stick, and then hung a big fishing net on a tree in the backyard for a swing, just waiting for Yuan Shang to come back and then fall from Chongfa...... Sima Yi burst into tears, and told Yuan Shang and Zhen Mi beside him intermittently, and his voice was like a complaint. Its sound is like mourning, which makes people's hearts break and can't help but accompany it.
Yuan Shang felt a little guilty after hearing this, and said: "You see this thing is troublesome, in fact, I have always thought that this is a good thing to cheapen you...... Yuan Shang's voice fell, and he saw Sima Yi wiping his tears while choking and saying, "Lord! In the future, you should not look for me for this good thing, it doesn't count if you don't catch the fishy, and it also provokes the little boy and the old lady to attack and kill again. I'm not wronged! ”
Yuan Shangchang sighed, turned his head and asked Zhen Mi behind him, "Do you think he looks like he's telling a lie?" ”
Zhen Mi was behind Yuan Shang, listened to Sima Yi's narration, and also understood that he was not far from ten, his face was as red as the morning glow, and he glanced at Yuan Shang with dissatisfaction: "You two are embarrassed to ask me about the ridiculous things you two made by yourself?" ”
After thinking about it for a while, Zhen Mi continued: "But I see that your younger brother looks innocent and cute, and he is young...... Before she finished speaking, Sima Yi interrupted her and said, "Madam Lord, don't be fooled by the surface of this kid!" That kid looks cute, and he has a lot of flowers! Not to be underestimated...... Who is your lady of the lord! Zhen Mi glanced at Sima Yi, and then sighed and said: "Listen to me, actually, I didn't believe it, but seeing you a seven-foot man crying into this virtue, you don't believe it Yuan Gongzi, congratulations to your Yuan family for having a prodigy." ”…,
Yuan Shang and Sima Yi were stunned when they heard this, and said in unison: "God prodigy? ”
Looking at Zhen Mi with a smile on his face, Yuan Shang hesitated for a moment and said, "Mi'er, did you use the wrong word?" I don't think this should be called a 'prodigy', I would be more reliable to say that he is 'precocious'. ”
Zhen Mi pursed her lips when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, since ancient times, prodigies have done things that are very different from ordinary people when they were young, such as Xiang Lu was a saint at the age of seven, Gan Luo was named Shangqing at the age of twelve, and now there is Xiao Yuan who is seven years old and plays Hebei Erxiong is famous in Zhenye Mansion, can it be regarded as a prodigy?" ”
Yuan Shang and Sima Yi glanced at each other, and they both saw the disdain in each other's eyes.
Xiang Lu and Gan Luo are called prodigies, because one became the master of Confucius, and the other became the secretary of the Qin State, and they did big things with a long face!
Yuan bought this little Wang Ba calf at a young age and didn't learn well, and the chopsticks under the crotch of his pants hadn't been cut yet, so he was thinking about having a meal and playing merry, how could he be compared with Ganluo Xianglu? Completely two grades!
It seems that Zhen Mi, the girl, has some problems with her behavior and concept of right and wrong, which is quite a bit of a sense of indistinguishability, if she gets married in the future, she needs to be educated well.
But seeing that Zhen Mi was still unfinished, he continued: "Anyway, I heard a rumor in the market the day before yesterday that Cao Cao in the Central Plains has a beloved son Cao Chong under his knees, who is six years old, but he is already smart and wise, and he is like the wisdom of an adult, and he is deeply loved by Cao Cao. is also good to earn a great reputation, so as to live up to his momentum. ”
Yuan Shang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, what Zhen Mi thought about was quite interesting, unlike normal people, the Cao family had a prodigy Cao Chong, and my Yuan family also had to launch a prodigy Yuan buy? It's not about spending money on famous brands. What is there to compare this with? It's so interesting!
But then again, Yuan Mai is now seven years old. That Deng Ai is also more than five years old, according to time and reason. But it's time to find someone to do a good job of education and education, and lay a good foundation for the next generation in Hebei.
Well, in other words, it's time to set up a training class for Hebei teenagers...... In one day, Yuan Shangming mobilized everyone in the mansion to purchase all the medicines and things needed for Deng Chang's operation.
The matter is urgent. That night, Hua Tuo ordered someone to find a clean quiet room, spread yarn and incense, and screen candles for night medicine. Surgery was performed for Deng Chang to remove the tumor.
Outside the operating room, in addition to Deng Chang's family, there are also Yuan Shang, Fu Zhu, Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan, Sima Yi, Xiao Ji and several other people who have close friends with Deng Chang on weekdays gathered to accompany him, and even Zhao Yun, who ignores trivial matters on weekdays. also came to visit in person, but although Deng Chang Lao'er is not in tune on weekdays, he is also quite popular.
The hands in the house were in full swing, and the people outside were in groups, silent, just quietly waiting for the news, but there was Zuo Ci Lao'er who was very active on weekdays, and he couldn't stay idle, so he secretly came to sit next to Yuan Shang. smiled and scolded, and said, "Apprentice, have you reviewed the Dunjia Tianshu Human Scroll that you gave you last time?" ”
Yuan Shang looked up at Zuo Ci, and didn't care if he called the master, but replied lightly: "Look at it, the problem is that the content in it is a little too profound, and the aspect of the marching array is okay, it is a detailed explanation and extension of the ten formations such as the square array, the circle array, the sparse array, and the number array, and some of the pages in the question book to observe the sky, what is the direction of the wind, the fog, the rain and snow, it is too chaotic, I can't understand, so I put it down." ”
During this time, Yuan Shang did take the time to study the human shield scroll that Zuo Ci gave him last time, and it was good not to look at it, but at a glance, he found that the content in it was broad and profound, and the content was extensive, especially a lot of content about arranging troops and marching, which was very helpful for a field like Yuan Shang who had not received formal military training. …,
Zuo Ci smiled when he heard this, nodded with satisfaction: "You can say this, but it proves that you are careful, and it is not in vain that my old man left the treasure scroll You are the lord of the four states, and the affairs of the military family naturally need to be carefully studied, as for the observation of the heavenly phenomena inside, the time of the broken wind and clouds, you can't understand it yourself, but it is not without obstacles, you might as well find those strategists under your command, such as Sima Yi, Fu Zhu, etc., to study together, not only can you understand yourself, but also let them also benefit greatly, isn't it a good thing?" ”
Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, looked Zuo Ci up and down curiously, and said: "You old man is so strange, when you first saw me, you said that I was a demon, shouting and killing, and in a blink of an eye, I didn't say that I should be your apprentice, I can't be so hot, what do you want from me?" I can tell you in advance, everything else is easy to talk about, I don't have any money I want! You're going to die of this heart! ”
Zuo Ci pursed his lips dissatisfiedly when he heard this, and said: "Unfilial things, what is it when I am an old man, I am a half-immortal body!" Immortals too! How can you save the riches of your hands? ”
After that, he paused and said: "Speaking of the old man, I watched the sky at night, and saw that there was a star protruding in the northwest, and its edge pointed directly to the north. ”
Yuan Shang sneered when he heard this, and said disdainfully: "Come less, what can the street slickers in the northwest have to do with me in Hebei?" The old liar is so deceitful, I don't believe you...... Northwest, Guanzhong Huaili City.
Among the princes of Guanzhong, Huaili Houmateng is located in the north of Sanfu, and he is the leader of Guanzhong with many princes!
The whole Huaili city is built on the back of the peak of Guanshan, covers an area of more than 6,000 acres, and there are also houses built between the mountain paths, from the mountainside down to the sawing place, there are four soldiers and horses camp in turn, standing and guarding the west of Huaili City.
Ma Teng, who is the master of Huaili, has never lived in the city, except for very important things to go back to the city to do, under normal circumstances, Ma Teng is in this dusty sandy sand camp to deal with all military affairs, with the sky as the house, the tent as the tile, the school field as the bed, and the military camp as the home.
As a mixed-race Ma Teng, his appearance is somewhat different from that of ordinary Central Plains people, with a tall and straight figure, a straight nose and a wide mouth, a rough appearance, a broad forehead that is high and convex, until the top of the head is hairless, but on the back of the concave head, there are more than 20 dense black, finger-thick pins, with a number of bronze rings hoop, hanging to the back.
His blue eyes, like a cheetah, were cold and deep, and when they were slightly closed, the light of the forest was chilling, and the short black beard around his lips was trimmed properly and smooth. A cinnabar mole the size of a mung bean on the left side of the nose is unforgettable.
He was dressed very plainly, not like a prince, with a thick cotton hem and a leather whip around his waist, but a bit of a wrangler.
Holding a bamboo slip in his hand, Ma Teng has been looking at it for a whole hour, looking back and forth repeatedly, as if he likes it and is reluctant to pick his hand, and seems to be afraid that there will be a crisis if he throws it on the ground.
Ma Teng sat down, and a young man with a big beard and a mighty appearance was sitting on the side, watching Ma Teng's facial expression move tightly, for fear of missing something.
This person's name is Pang De, the word Lingming, although he is young, he is a rare figure in the Northwest Army who has both civil and military skills.
After three more teas, Ma Teng finally put down the bamboo slip in his hand and sighed loudly: "This is the third letter this month to persuade me to help Cao attack Yuan...... Pang De nodded lightly and said: "First of all, Xu Du made a will, and then Zhong Xuan, Zhang Ji, and Fu Gan sent a letter of persuasion, it seems that Cao Cao is determined to pull us into the water this time!" ”…,
Ma Teng's eyes slowly drooped, and fell on the bamboo slip that he had just put down not long ago, and said meaningfully: "The two males are fighting, and they don't want to coexist, only we are the ones in the cracks, and it is difficult to live." ”
Pang De nodded and said, "The battle of Yuan Cao is related to the unification of the northern heaven and earth, and the lord of this team must not stand cautiously!" ”
Ma Teng turned his eyes to Pang De and said, "Ling Ming, in your opinion, after the battle of Yuan Cao is at its worst, who will have a better chance of winning?" ”
Pang De was silent for a while, and said: "With the last general, Yuan Shao is in Japan, Hebei has a better chance of defeating the Central Plains, Yuan Shao is not there, who is Cao Cao's opponent in the world?" Moreover, this alliance with the Guanzhong Zhulu to crusade against Hedong also has some benefits, one can expand some power, the other can take the opportunity to make good friends with the court, and the third can take the opportunity to envelop the princes of Guanzhong for later use. ”
"Yuan Shao is not here, who is Cao Cao's opponent?" Ma Teng touched his delicate beard, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and said: "Yes, back then, the princes of the Eighteenth Route discussed Dong Zhuo together, how huge the formation was, and how mighty the momentum was!" Now among the eighteen people, only me and Cao Cao are left. He sits on the court again, and occupies the time and the people! Looking at the world, who can be his opponent, hehe, now is not the time to offend him, it seems that in the battle of Hedong, we will not send troops, but it will not work. ”
Speaking of this, Ma Teng asked Pang De again: "Ling Ming, in your opinion, should I join forces with Zhong Miao and others to attack Hedong, should I go in person, or should I choose another good general?" ”
Pang De shook his head when he heard this: "The identity of the lord is respected, you can't act rashly, and Cao Cao issued an edict, if the lord is a pro-campaign, but it also seems that we have lowered our status and lost face, Hedong guard general Guo Huai, although he is Yuan's henchman, but it is not very useful, the last general is not talented, I am willing to lead the troops and Zhong Xuan and the princes of Guanzhong Zhulu will make peace, and a battle can be decided!" ”
Ma Teng nodded when he heard this, and said: "Ling Ming's ability, I naturally know, but your fame is not obvious at this time, if you are respected, I am afraid that Cao Cao, Zhong Xuan and others will have some mustard in their hearts, if you let Meng Qi be handsome, you are the pioneer, you two go together, everything is good to have a discussion and response!"
