The news of Cao Cao's recovery of Chang'an soon spread to Luoyang through carrier pigeons, and most of the ministers breathed a sigh of relief - as long as Chang'an was in hand, even if half of Yongzhou was kept, the remaining half, and Liangzhou further west, even if they were all lost, Liu Bei would not be able to cross Chang'an to threaten Luoyang.

Shi Xun discussed with Jia Xu, and he asked Jia Wenhe: "Do you think you can take advantage of the situation and seize Hanzhong?" Jia Xu first nodded, then shook his head, and said, "It's unpredictable." If Liu Bei's main force can be destroyed in Yongzhou, he can take advantage of the situation to go to Hanzhong, lest Guanzhong be broken and the grain will not be followed. If the thieves in Shu are in danger, they are in a hurry and difficult to break, and the food is cut off, and the situation is even more dangerous. And if Liu Bei knew that His Majesty had entered the customs, he would abandon the defense and retreat, and he would not be able to attack it. The previous plans should be abandoned, and the imperial court will not be restored in three or five years, and they dare not think about Bashu again. ”

It is Xunxin who said that the judgment of "three or five years" is pessimistic, but at least for one or two years, the troops and materials will not be enough to support too large-scale military operations, which is true of what Jia Xu said. I don't know if Liu Bei will retreat quickly, if he retreats, it is fine, if he is still stranded in Guanzhong and is broken by Cao Cao, with Cao Cao's character, he will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue Hanzhong. Unless Liu Bei dies in the battle array, this hastily launched battle in Hanzhong is indeed as Jia Wenhe said, and the chances of winning are not great.

In the original history, it was Liu Bei who accumulated for many years, and then poured all the troops of Shu to seize Hanzhong, Xiahou Yuan accidentally died in battle, causing the Wei army to shrink across the line, sticking to the danger, and then Cao Cao hurriedly raised the army to rescue, and finally left a "chicken rib" password and withdrew...... The terrain of that place is really complicated, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to take it without a perfect plan.

After the retreat from the dynasty. It was Xun who stepped out of the palace. Still by the son is re-driving. Return to your home. The second wife Cao Miao and Gan all came to greet her, and Cao Miao was still holding the young Tan in her hand - she really regarded Tan as her own son - Shanyang Princess Cao Jie also followed.

Shi Xun first took it from Cao Miao's hand and hugged it, and then glanced at it, hey, why is the princess holding one in her hand? How long have they been married? A closer look turned out to be not a baby, fluffy and round, it turned out to be a cat.

Cats are this animal. It was not native to China, but was imported from the West – or more accurately, wild cats were probably found in ancient China, but domesticated domestic cats were certainly imported. According to the research of later generations, the domestic cat should be native to Egypt, after the Silk Road was opened in the Han Dynasty, it was introduced to China by the Persians, but it is difficult for anyone to conclude how late this "later" will be.

At least in Xun's life, he has basically never seen a domestic cat. In those years, most of the responsibility of catching rats in the family was handed over to the dogs. Therefore, the post-secular proverb "the dog takes the mouse - meddling in things" actually didn't make sense before the Wei and Jin dynasties - the dog is really not nosy, that is its own job.

As a result, Xun suddenly saw a cat, and curled up in the princess's arms obediently, it must be a domestic cat, and he couldn't help but be curious. He immediately stretched out his hand and asked the princess, "Where did this thing come from?" The princess replied with a smile: "My lord, this raccoon dog is a gift from the king of the Western Regions to his brother, and my brother sent someone to send me." ”

- The Book of Songs. Daya. Han Yi has the sentence "There are bears and tigers, cats and tigers", but alongside bears, stalks, and tigers, it is definitely not a kitten in the princess's arms, it should also be a large carnivore, maybe it refers to some kind of leopard. And this small cat, whether wild or domesticated, is called "raccoon" for many years.

Lu Bu is in the Western Regions, it is very easy to get a few domestic cats, as a rare pet in the Central Plains, it is normal to give it to his son-in-law Cao Ang, the king of Yuzhong, but how could Cao Ang think about giving it to his sister? If you want to say that Cao Ang's genuine sister should be Princess Qinghe, and Princess Cao Jie of Shanyang was born to the Bian family, half-brother, and I haven't heard how good the relationship between this brother and sister is, why did she suddenly send a cat? Could it be that Cao Ang regrets the past and has the idea of restoring the storage position, so he gave the cat to show his goodwill?

is the so-called "Xiang Zhuang sword dance, intended for Pei Gong", in fact, he wants to re-befriend himself, right?

Shixun is still full of heir battles and conspiracies, and he can't help but glance at his son is revenge. It's a resumption, shaking his head slightly, that means, Daddy, you think too much, you don't have to be like this.

It was only then that Hoon put away his cranky thoughts and continued to observe the kitten. The princess said, "This thing is the best at catching rats." "It's Xun Xin who said I know, the cats I've seen in my last life are not necessarily fewer than the men I've seen in your life...... Cao Miao took Shi Tan from Shi Xun's arms, showed disgust, and said, "Since you can catch mice, why not put them in the warehouse and hold them in Huaiye?" Don't frighten me. ”

It was Xunxin who said that one is a son and the other is a daughter-in-law, and the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, wife, it is not good for you to talk like this, it is easy to cause family conflicts. In order to change the topic and avoid the embarrassment of the princess, she deliberately pointed to the kitten and chanted a poem:

"Like a tiger can be a wood, like a horse is not subdued. But it can empty the rat's nest and return to the fish meal. When the name is less than the duffle, it can make Jing Guo anvil. ”

In fact, this poem was also copied, and it originated from Lu You's two "Song of Cat Poems". One is: "Like a tiger can be a wood, like a horse is not subdued." But knowing the empty rat hole, it is not intended to be a fish meal. Mint is drunk from time to time, and it is warm at night. The old boy in the previous life, accompanied me in the old mountain village. One is: "Hire raccoon slaves in the salt, and often watch the corner of the play." Drunk mint all the time, night and night. The rat's hole is a list of exercises, and there is no reward for fish meals. and still make a name, and call it less than a dodder. ”

It is a good poem in the previous life, and he memorized a lot of ancient poems and famous texts, so he traveled here to develop by plagiarism. Of course, this also originated from "Li Dai Tao Stiff", pretending to be the son of the clan, and he didn't dare to write out all kinds of fragments that he still remembered until he left his home, joined Cao Cao, and had his own private space, so as to use it - before that, he only dared to recite and review it silently in his heart to avoid forgetting.

To this day, the old ...... can be copied In the future, poetry and writing have been almost used, and if you want to write poems, you can probably only have the courage to be original. However, there are also some poems that have been rotting in his hands because he really can't find a suitable occasion to go out, such as Lu Fangweng's two "Song of Cat Poems" - he hasn't been able to see the house cat, even if he copies it, who can understand it?

And it's Xun Qian's life and not a cat slave, the reason why I still remember these two songs is completely because Lu You's writing is interesting. Therefore, with the passage of time, what he wrote silently at the beginning was incomplete, only "like a tiger can be a wood, like a horse does not lie down, but knows the empty mouse hole, and has no intention of eating fish" and "still should be named, called less than a dodder", these sentences are still improvised and compiled, which are inevitably flat and straightforward, lacking spirituality. However, as a mouth, it is not a price drop.

It seems that Princess Sanyo likes this kitten very much, so she was overjoyed when she heard the poem and said that I would immediately go to get a pen and paper and copy down the work of the adults. It's just—"Why is it called Lesser than Suya?" ”

It was Fu who explained next to him, saying: "The ancient Chu people called the tiger Yu Yu. The princess is not an illiterate woman who has never read, and immediately reacted: "I know, Chu Ling Yin Ziwen, that is, his name is Dougu Yusu." "I really haven't named the kitten yet, but since the adults have a life, let's call it "Yu Su".

Yes Xun turned to Shi Fu and asked, "Do you understand the meaning of my poem?" It was Fu Gong who replied: "Although the son is not literate, Daddy's poem is not very difficult and profound, and its meaning is self-evident." The official who harms the people, the poem has "Shuo Mouse" as a metaphor, this raccoon dog can catch rats, so it is intended to be Dou Ziwen also ...... "Ling Yin Ziwen is the virtuous minister of Chu State, and his main merit is in internal affairs, rather than leading the division to expand the territory, so he cracks down on corrupt officials and corrupt officials, just like a cat catching mice, and can "Jing Guo Yan".

Shi Xun nodded, and then greeted Shi Fu, first go to the study with me to discuss something, and then we will come out to eat again. After all, he still had doubts in his heart, so when he entered the study, he asked Shi Fu: "Why did the king of Yuzhong give the princess a raccoon dog?" ”

Yes, I guess this is not the meaning of the king of Yuzhong, but the meaning of the princess He. Didn't their sister-in-law Cao Chao still stay in Luoyang? Therefore, I gave a gift, probably hoping that we would help take care of Cao Chao and not let people bully him.

Shi Xun smiled: "Who dares to bully him? Cao Cao likes this grandson very much, and Cao Pi looks like a loyal minister and filial son, and he will not deliberately get along with his little nephew, and he is still the son of the former prince, so as to damage his reputation. Then he frowned: "He's family, Concubine Xian, Your Majesty often praises her." Do you want to reset your husband? He shook his head, saying that Cao Ang had been completely abolished, and there was basically no hope of turning over, if He was really virtuous, he would not dare to have such thoughts, not only would it be useless, but it would be enough to invite trouble.

Shi Xun asked his son by the way: "After the kingdom of kings, what if?" "It's a reply that Cao Chang and Cao Zhi are worthy of being brothers, and their actions and behaviors are similar, and after arriving in the feudal country, they gather all day to drink and feast, and get drunk, probably to relieve their inner boredom. It's just that Cao Zhi wrote a lot of poems with wine, and Cao Zhang beat a lot of people with wine...... The two are fundamentally different in this regard.

Cao Ang ran to Yuzhong, simply worshiped the Buddha seriously, not only worshipped himself, but also cut down on food and clothing, saved money to build two Buddhist temples, and wrote a letter to ask Lu Bu to find a monk from the Western Regions to settle in. As for Cao Chong, it seems to be the most normal, every day he is accompanied by Zhou Budo to read, practice calligraphy, occasionally go out of the city to visit the people, warn local officials, Liyang people are called "virtuous king" also.

Shi Xun sneered: "Drunk or really drunk, crazy is not really crazy, fans are really fans, but virtuous but not virtuous." Each of them used four words to give the four brothers sex. Immediately took care of it, if he sent more people to probe Cao Chong's behavior, he always felt that the kid was unlikely to accept his fate, maybe he would want to struggle.

However, it was only out of vague intuition, and at this moment he didn't expect Cao Xiaoxiang's struggle to be so crazy...... (To be continued.) )

PS: I would like to thank "Miss Cat in Longkong", she was one of the first book friends, and also set up a Q group for this book, and when I only appeared occasionally, she served as the group leader until today. I kept saying that I wanted to give her a dragon set, but the female dragon set was not easy to find, and finally decided, just give her a cat! In order to get this cat out, I also spent a lot of brains, you said that it is Taiwei himself who is a cat slave It definitely doesn't feel right...... Okay, let's let Princess Sanyo be a cat slave. Please applaud warmly and welcome the grand debut of the cats "Xiao Yu Suo"!
