Chapter 686: Reborn in Blood
Central Plains, Wancheng.
The current Wancheng is a battleground for soldiers, not only because of his extremely important geographical location, but also because of the shape of the world now.
It is located in Jingzhou, south of Jingchu, west of Yongshu Road, northeast is Xuchang, although not connected to Wu Yue, but connected with Nanjun, so calculated, in terms of pure region, Wancheng has been an extraordinarily important three-point junction place.
Despite this, over the years, Wancheng has been calm, and no forces from all sides have ever had the idea of this location.
The main thing is that there is Yuan Xi in the east of Wancheng and Zhao Yun in the north, even if it is taken, it will not be able to be saved.
Piaoxiang Pavilion is one of the best restaurants in Wancheng, the reputation is full of the city, people who come to Wancheng from other places, if they talk about the mouth, the people who have not eaten the Sanxiang Pavilion are either lonely and unheard, or they are shy in their pockets.
Today's Sanxiang Pavilion is still open at noon, and as soon as the guy opens the paving, he sees a dusty servant, a middle-aged scribe in a blue suit, carrying a package, and striding into the hall.
This scribe has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and looks very good-looking, but his face is pale, and he seems to be a little sickly, and although he is old, his eyes are distant, but there is a dishonest energy, especially when he sweeps it on a few young girls who are also diners, he is a little squinted, and he has the shape of a prodigal son.
After finding a clean place to sit down, the middle-aged scribe touched his abdomen, spat and said: "After driving for so long, I have eaten a belly of dry food cakes, if I don't eat a lot today, I really can't help my belly!" β
The man walked up to the scribe and said, "Sir, what are you doing?" β
The middle-aged scribe was extremely arrogant, waved his hand, and said: "I have heard for a long time that your Sanxiang Pavilion dishes are outstanding, and they are well-known in the Guannei, so I will first put all your dishes on one today, if it is not enough, order it again!" β
The guy couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this. Where did the earth leopard come from in the dark road, a full picture of nouveau riche virtue.
After a moment of hesitation, the guy spoke: "Sir, we have a total of seventy-five kinds of dishes, do you want to have one ding?" β
The middle-aged scribe obviously didn't expect that there were so many dishes in this place, and he was secretly surprised, but there was no change on his face, and he still looked like an old god was there, slapped his hand on the table, and said, "Less nonsense." Master, I didn't eat you for nothing, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay the bills if I don't have the money? Sue sΓΉ you, someone invited Lao Tzu's guest today! If you have any food, just pick it up...... But seventy-five kinds are indeed a bit of a waste, so let's pick ten of the best ones first, and give me ten catties of good wine! Remember to pick the best wine, don't worry about the money for Lao Tzu! β
The guy agreed, but he couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart, probably the first time he had encountered such a poor dick. The face is still so arrogant.
The efficiency of the Sanxiang Pavilion was extremely fast, and when he was young, the man served all kinds of dishes to the middle-aged scribe, and at the same time carried a large jar of wine and placed it on the side of the middle-aged scribe. For him, he said, "Sir, please taste it, this is the most famous entrance alcohol in our cabinet." Home-brewed sake is well-known far and wide. β
The middle-aged scribe picked up the cup and poured it into his mouth. tasted a product, and finally just said two words slowly.
"Make do."
Then I began to try the dishes one by one, and every time I ate the same, it really had some characteristics, and I couldn't help but applaud.
After about half an hour like this, outside the Sanxiang Pavilion, there was a handsome boy dressed in a black robe, handsome, faintly, there was an outstanding temperament above others, but he was approachable, and there was always a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
As soon as the black-robed man entered the shop, he looked left and right, and finally his eyes fell on the scribe who was eating and drinking.
The scribe seemed to see the comer, but only glanced at it, and then continued to eat and drink, as if he were gone.
Seeing that the man was very popular and luxurious, he knew that a big customer was coming, so he hurriedly greeted him, bowed to the black-robed man, and said, "Son, please sit down, what to order, the venison in our store is a new hunt yesterday, it is really a must." β
The black-robed man waved his hand slightly and said, "No need, I'm here to find someone." With that, he walked over to the middle-aged scribe and sat down across from him.
The middle-aged scribe glanced up at him, didn't ask much, just casually pointed to the dishes on the table, and said, "Eat." β
The handsome black-robed man with a good bearing looked at the middle-aged scribe quietly for a long time, and slowly replied with four words. Eye-popping.
"Eat your sister."
When a sentence came out, the guy who passed by his desk stumbled and almost didn't make a mistake.
Turning his head and glancing at the black-robed man, the guy couldn't help but wipe his sweat too much, how could this guest officer say what he said...... It's like this...... Vulgar.
The middle-aged scribe was not moved when he heard this, smiled hesitantly, and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Yuan San, you still talk so dirty, fortunately, no one here knows you, if not, wouldn't you lose your identity." β
Yuan San snorted heavily when he heard this, and said: "It's useless to talk less, I'm talking and burying it, and you can't be clean, Fourth Brother Guo, why did you rush here from Xuchang all the way away?" β
Hearing this, Guo Si just looked like meditation, nodded his chin with his finger, rolled his eyes slightly, and said, "You came to pay for me?" β
Yuan San sneered: "I came to see you off, but don't worry, for the sake of your acquaintance, Yuan can pay for you after your death." β
Guo Si smiled and said, "Pull it down, don't scare me, if you want to kill me, you just need to send a lieutenant at will, why do you have to come in person?" β
When Yuan San heard this, the smile on his face gradually shrank.
"What do you mean, when I won't kill you?"
Guo Si lowered his head and devoured: "Yes, Guo is sure that you won't kill me." β
Yuan San shook his head and said, "I'm so confident that you're so poetic...... Don't think that I have a little friendship with you, I won't attack you, if you really threaten my position, I will not only kill you, but also divide your five horses, crush your bones and scatter ashes, and then the ashes will be scattered half of the Yangtze River and half of the Yellow River. β
Guo Si raised his head at this time and said, "The problem is, you can't confirm now whether I pose a threat to you?" β
Yuan San said: "Let's talk about it, you leave Pengcheng and go straight to the southwest." For what? β
Guo Si burped, wiped his mouth, and said, "Pay for the meal for me first." β
Yuan San: "Your ............ of the dog's day"
After paying for the meal, Guo Sifang sat down and said to Yuan San with a plastic surgery face: "To tell the truth, Guo has already died once in Pengcheng, and from now on, I will no longer be the original me, after the battle of Pengcheng." There is no longer Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao in the world, only Guo Si, the prodigal son who wanders the world and travels all over the world, that's all. β
When Yuan San heard this, he was slightly moved, and said: "Since Guo Jia is dead, there is only Guo Si left in the world...... So why can't Guo Si go to Yuan San's account and show his ambitions? β
Guo Si smiled slightly and said, "The question is. Yuan San is only here Yuan San, and when he returns to the stage of the world, his name is Yuan Shang. β
Speaking of this, Guo Si paused. said: "And Guo will never be loyal to Yuan Shang." β
When Yuan San heard this, he was silent for a long time, but he was not angry.
"If you don't owe allegiance to Yuan Shang, it's okay. But you know, Yuan Shang will never allow you to be loyal to anyone but him, do you understand? For this. He can even kill you, without hesitation. β
"That's how you treat your friends?"
"I don't want to, the problem is that a friend like you is too terrible, and I don't have the confidence to beat you a second time."
Guo Si nodded when he heard this, and said: "Don't worry, in the whole world, the only person who can win Guo Si's allegiance is Cao Cao Cao Mengde, and the rest of the sons are not enough!" β
"Then what are you doing in Xichuan? Don't tell me, you're looking for a hiker. β
Guo Si blinked and said, "What if I say that I am indeed here to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" β
"You think I'm a donkey?" Yuan San asked with a smile.
"Okay." Guo Si smiled and said: "As soon as Cao Mengde dies, Cao Zijian surrenders, there is no more master in the world, in my heart, the troubled times without Cao Mengde and the Cao family are very boring, rather than letting the troubled times continue, Guo Mou should add fuel to the fire, let the world be unified earlier, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment earlier." β
When Yuan San heard this, he seemed to have an understanding.
"What do you want to do?"
Guo Si smiled slightly: "I have heard rumors in the world for a long time, Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, the two of them have one, and the world can be safe!" β
Yuan San frowned and said, "Do you want to meet Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong?" β
Guo Si touched his nose and said: "Although Guo has this intention, Liu Bei must be preparing to conquer Sun Quan in Xichuan at this time...... Guo is only fortunate to have one, but I don't know if it's Wolong or Fengxiao...... Who do you think is better? β
Yuan San was silent for a long time when he heard this, and said: "Liu Wei, the son of Liu Zhang, who lives in the Southern Barbarians, and Zhang Ren, the general under his command, have a good relationship with me. β
Guo Si smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "It's very good, but Guo has two conditions." β
"Which two conditions?"
"First, today, I am only for the Cao family, and the rest of the sons are insignificant."
Yuan San nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will repair a book, but I only recommend you as an ally of Keqing, not Liu Zhang's subordinates, and with my handwriting, I don't dare to force Liu Zhang." β
"Second, today, Guo Jia is dead, do you understand."
Yuan San nodded and said, "I understand, Guo Jia is dead, and the one I recommend is only Guo Si from the poor family." β
Guo Si laughed when he heard this, nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad!" In this way, you can quickly repair the book, Guo Mou should also quickly hold the book into Shu, I hope the world will be peaceful as soon as possible, and Guo Mou will quickly let go of the burden of the world and live happily in the mountains and forests. β
Yuan San picked up the wine cup, took a sip of wine, and said slowly: "I want to ask you one last question?" β
"Say."
Yuan San raised his eyes to look at him and said, "If you don't vote for Yuan Shang's account, I can understand...... But why don't you hide and shrink your head, let go of the shackles on your body, and live in seclusion? And do you want to choose such a path because you want to repay me for sparing your life that day? β
Guo Si put away his prodigal smile and was silent for a while, before he said slowly: "I just know that if we transpose into you or Cao Gong, we will never withdraw from the world, maybe our methods will be different, but we will not directly take refuge in the former enemy, or hide for a lifetime, we will all find a way to leave a last touch of brilliant brilliance in this world, because we have ambition and arrogance, it's as simple as that." β
Yuan San nodded. For Guo Si's words that are not beginning or end, he seems to have some understanding.
"Finally, I would like to give you a piece of advice, Cao Pi and the others will not enter Shu, they can only go south, it is very likely that they are a little tired with Sun Quan, but it may not be in Sun Quan's army, pay attention in the future."
Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "He is your old master, you are so upset of his old bottom, okay?" β
Guo Jia snorted. Said: "Cao Mengde is my ancestor, Cao Zijian is my descendant, Cao Pi...... He's just a traitor. β
Yuan Shang: "............"
****************************
After sending Guo Si away, Yuan Shang immediately settled in Wancheng secretly, pondering the experience of meeting him this time.
This time, the person who secretly protected Yuan Shang when he came to Wancheng was Zhang Yan, and Yuan Shang took him with him so that he could get information about Western Shu and Eastern Wu at any time.
Zhang Yan really lived up to Yuan Shang's trust. Bring the information to Yuan Shang, and get the most out of it.
"Lord Qi, Liu Bei is in Xichuan, and he is dispatching troops. Arrange grain and grass, prepare for war on a large scale, create a white flag for mourning, and go east. No one in Shuzhong could dissuade the ministers, and Liu Bei also blamed Wei Yan and Meng Da. β
Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this, and said, "It's just that I blame Wei Yan deeply." Is it that simple? Hehe, that's interesting...... By the way, how long do you estimate Liu Bei to be able to go on the expedition? β
Zhang Yan replied: "Liu Bei had threatened to go east to conquer Sun Quan within a month before he killed Ding Feng and expelled Zhuge Jin from Shu, but that was just angry talk, such a large-scale deployment of troops and horses, I am afraid that it will be fast to go on the expedition after one season." β
Hearing this, Yuan Shang nodded, and said, "It seems that Liu Bei has made a bloody investment this time...... Have you found out Liu Bei's military appearance on this expedition? β
Zhang Yan heard this: "The specific generals and generals of the army are not too clear, but what can be roughly known is that Zhuge Liang, as a military advisor, will fight together this time, and Fa Zheng, the chief planner of Shuzhong, will also accompany him!" Pang Tong, the deputy military division, is to protect Liu Chan and sit in Chengdu. β
Yuan Shang nodded abruptly when he heard this.
"In this way, Guo ...... What Guo Si will face is likely to be Pang Tong. β
Is the ghost the phoenix...... But don't know the geometry of high and low?
As for Liu Bei, regardless of other configurations, just as Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng went out with the army, the battle of Yiling in history will definitely not be repeated, even if Liu Bei is not victorious this time, he will not be defeated.
Of course, Sun Quan is also outstanding and not weak...... Liu Bei went out of Sichuan, a thousand-mile front, and it was difficult to supply, while Dongwu occupied a favorable location and seized the Yangtze River, and its momentum was definitely not weak...... Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng...... There is also a Lu Xungu who has not yet heard of his name!
Lu Xun!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shang's thinking was a little off, he had dealt with Sun Quan a few times, but he had never met this kid, could it be that he was young now and was not discovered by Sun Quan?
But according to Zhou Yu's wisdom and Lu Su's sage, he shouldn't be able to detect a talent like Lu Xun, but if he does, why hasn't he been unveiled and not famous? What's the secret in this, or is it something else that Lu Xun uses?
"Lord, lord?"
Seeing that Yuan Shang seemed to be a little distracted, Zhang Yan opened his mouth and greeted gently.
"Huh?" Yuan Shang came back to his senses from his thoughts and said busily: "What? β
Zhang Yan said: "Lord, my subordinates are just asking you." β
Yuan Shang blinked: "What? β
Zhang Yan arched his hand and said: "Now that Liu Bei has deployed troops and sent generals, and Sun Quan has also arranged soldiers and horses for defense, how will we act on our side?" β
Yuan Shang thought for a while and said: "Let's not move for the time being, Liu Bei will dispatch soldiers and horses, it will take at least a season, during this time, all the soldiers and horses will have a good rest, the battle of Jingzhou, we and Guan Yu confronted each other, and we also suffered a lot of losses, and I want to deal with a major event during this period." β
Zhang Yan said in surprise: "What's the big deal?" β
Yuan Shang smiled slightly, and said: "Of course it is the King of Yan who was enshrined by the imperial court, now he is in Liaodong, but he is so comfortable, if I don't entertain him well, wouldn't I be worthy of the former ally?" β
Zhang Yan suddenly said when he heard this: "Yes, now Tuoba Liwei and Li Ru, the days in Liaodong are nourishing, Li Ru is better, since the success, he has shrunk his head, concealed his name, followed the words of the past, only to rely on the old, and return to the roots; However, after Tuoba Liwei became the king of Yan, his ambitions grew, and he secretly traded with the countries of the Northern Xinjiang and the Western Regions, and made friends and relations, but I am afraid that his ambition is not small...... My lord, what are you going to do with this person? β
Yuan Shang said with a smile: "Tuoba Li is slightly ambitious, I knew it a long time ago, when I overthrew the Son of Heaven and took the opportunity to crown him as the King of Yan, I just wanted to test him, but I didn't expect him to be really unpredictable, and he would return to his original form at once!" However, the world knows that I am an ally with him, and my personal relationship is also very good, without his full help, I would not have been able to subdue Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu in one fell swoop, but if I do it to him first, it is inevitable that I will lose my trust in the world, and also lose my trust in those tribes outside the Saiwai who have been relocated to Hebei, which is not what I want. β
Zhang Yan said: "But if it drags on like this, it will inevitably make Tuoba Liwei grow bigger in Liaodong in the name of King Yan, but it will be difficult to do it in the future." β
Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, since the design of letting the Son of Heaven crown him as the King of Yan, I have an idea of how to rectify this King of Yan, and now I can implement it, but I have to go back to Luoyang first, find Jia Xu and Zhao Yun, see how our Emperor XiΓ is doing, and then go back to Yecheng to figure out this person." β
"............" (To be continued......)
