Chapter 25, out of Yuan into Cao

Zhang Lu was grabbed by a young man's wrist, and he couldn't move for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Then the man said: "I don't know why my brother stabbed you, but you can't harm my brother!"

Zhang Lu understood that this young man was afraid that he would take the opportunity to give General Sun a slap on his forehead. He immediately showed a kind smile on his face, and said slowly: "I have never met Brother Ling, nor have I known each other, so why complain? Brother Ling stabbed me for the sake of it...... Evil spirits possess also. Then he tried to flip his palm and show it to the other party—I don't have a weapon in my hand, do you think I can slap your brother to death?

"I am a monk, and I can ward off evil spirits for my brother. ”

He is still dressed as a Lang official at this time, and he looks like a scribe, although he has just drawn his halberd and seen a few moves with General Sun, but although he sees that his body is flexible and his movements are agile, his tricks are also mediocre - as for whether his strength is strong or not, outsiders can't tell it. So with such an explanation, the young man hesitated, and finally let go of Zhang Lu's hand - he didn't believe that Zhang Lu could hit his brother hard with a meat palm.

Only then was Zhang Lu able to reach out and gently press on General Sun's forehead, and then he vomited angrily. General Sun was originally pushed to the ground by his own brothers, but he still struggled with his neck, and as soon as the body was removed, he was paralyzed on the spot, and his head was stuck in the soil. His brother panicked, instinctively raised his fist, and slammed it towards Zhang Lu's waist. Zhang Lu dodged, but he avoided it, and quickly explained, your brother is fine, don't worry-"Rest for a night, you can recover." ”

The young man withdrew his fist and took General Sun's vein—the pulse was steady, just an ordinary fainting appearance. Only then did he let go of General Sun, stood up, and gave Zhang Lu a deep look: "Brother has no form, Mr. Qiyou, I don't know my name?"

"Zhang Lu of Mi County. ”

"Mr. repays grievances with virtue, and the great grace is remembered within the five, and the policy must be thanked also. ”

As soon as Zhang Lu was confused, he asked, "Your Excellency has no grandson Poyu (Sun Jian)'s grandson Sun Bo Fuye?" Zhang Luxin said that it was no wonder that he had so much strength...... He pointed to "General Sun" on the ground and asked who this was? How did I hear that Sun Ce was the boss, and he didn't have a brother above him.

At this time, scholars were accustomed to be ranked according to uncle, middle, uncle, and season, and sometimes they were directly reflected in the table characters. So Zhang Lu Earl Zhang, there is a word "Bo" in the word, he is the boss, and his younger brother Zhang Zhongping has the word "Zhong" in the word, he is the second. The same is true for the Sun brothers, the eldest Sun Ce "Bo" Fu, the second Sun Quan "Zhong" Mou, the third Sun Yi "Uncle" Bi, the fourth Sun Kuang "Ji" Zuo - there is also a fifth Sun Lang, the concubine, whose words are unknown.

Why haven't I heard of it? And this doesn't match his words.

At this time, Erle finally got up from the ground, came over to apologize to Zhang Lu and Xuan Jian, and introduced him by the way: "This Sun Poyu clan is also General Xiang." ”

Zhang Lu suddenly realized that this is the case, not a brother.

Sun Jian has a total of three brothers, the eldest Sun Qiang, the second Sun Jian, the third Sun Jing, and many cousins, and it is also a big family. In fact, according to the traditional patriarchal system, the patriarch of the Fuchun Sun family should be Sun Qiang instead of Sun Jian, but who let Sun Jian climb fast in the officialdom? It's just that when Sun Jian died in battle and Sun Ce was still young, the position of patriarch returned to the long house and fell into the hands of Sun Qiang's eldest son, Sun Ben - it was Sun Ben who led the old and young of the Sun family and Sun Jian's tribe to join Yuan Shu.

As for Sun Xiang Sun Wenyang, who was possessed and attacked Zhang Lu, he was the son of Sun Jian's cousin, and he was farther away from Sun Ce in terms of blood, but he defected to Yuan Shu earlier and was appointed as a partial general, and his status in Yuan Ying was higher than that of Sun Ben and Sun Ce. In these years, big families often live together, and the brothers may also have a close relationship with each other, so Sun Ce directly called Sun Xiang "brother", which caused Zhang Lu to have a misunderstanding.

Zhang Luxin said that he thought it was Lejin, but the result was Leyi, and he thought it was Sun Ce, but it turned out to be Sun Xiang...... It seems that my knowledge of history is really poor - I haven't made up for it yet - it's better not to be preconceived in the future...... Fortunately, it is Sun Xiang and not Sun Ce, if it is changed to "Little Overlord", it is estimated that he will be difficult to resist just now, and maybe his life will come to an end......

It's like fighting against Xu Huang that day, if Xu Gongming didn't shout first, and hit himself unprepared, he probably wouldn't be able to escape-thinking this, I couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

So he didn't dare to stay in Yuan Ying for any longer -- if there was anything else that appeared and attached himself to the body of a genuine "little overlord", how could it be good? Sun Ce also wanted to invite him and Xuan Jian to return to their tent, and on the one hand, he apologized for drinking, and on the other hand, he also carefully asked what kind of evil spirit my brother was possessed by? Will there be sequelae? Zhang Lu waved his hand and excused himself, saying that since we have already bid farewell to General Yuan, how can we stay in the camp for a long time? As for Brother Ling...... He casually made up a few nonsense words, saying that there are many evil spirits and evil spirits in this battle array, and I think that when Brother Ling entered the camp, he was not in a state of mind, probably because he has not been in good health recently, so that he has been invaded by evil spirits. Don't worry, I've already helped him ward off evil spirits, just get some sleep.

His mount had been slashed to death by Sun Xiang, so Le ordered someone to lead a horse again, and the three of them came out of Yuan's camp together. Xuan Jian looked at Zhang Lu and asked with his eyes - what is going on? Zhang Lu shook his head slightly, that means, I will tell you when there are no outsiders.

In fact, he was only sent three or four miles away, and when he got on the avenue, Le took the excuse that he still had military affairs to deal with, and led the three horses back - Zhang Lu had just been attacked, and he was so frightened that he didn't have time to figure out how to get rid of the Yuan family's mount. So he walked side by side with Xuan Jian and the two of them, at first they were silent, and after a journey, Xuan Yuanjie finally spoke-you can explain to me now, what kind of evil spirit is attached to Sun Xiang, why did he just attack you?

Zhang Lu knew that the perfunctory words of Sun Ce could not be deceived by Xuan Jian - there is a specialization in the art industry, and people are also fellow cultivators of immortals, is it an ordinary evil spirit possessed, how can there be a reason that cannot be seen? Fortunately, under the pretext that outsiders are happy, he just used his eyes to stop Xuan Jian from asking, and he has come for several miles, and the more reliable reasons have already been made up.

- After all, the issue of "shyness" is a secret of the fairy world, and without the approval of Zhang Jian and Pei Xuanren, it is difficult for Zhang Lu to determine whether it is convenient to tell others about it.

So he smiled slightly bitterly and sighed lightly: "This is my heart and demon ......."

However, it is a pity that a large set of newly compiled nonsense was interrupted at the beginning. The two of them said as they walked, and then they saw a person standing next to the road, about forty years old, with a clear appearance, a light robe, and a distant arch: "Yuan Festival is okay, right?"

Xuan Jian took a look at it, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Why is Jun'an here?" and then introduced it to Zhang Lu.

It turned out that this person's surname was Liu Minggen, Jun'an, a native of Jingzhao Chang'an, with a life span of more than 200 years, and he was also an earth immortal. Of course, this earth immortal is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, like Pei Xuanren and Zhang Jujun, who are very promising to ascend to the heavenly realm, are counted as the first rank, and Liu Gen and Liu Junan are at most considered third.

It is said that Liu Gen entered the Song Mountain during the period of Emperor Cheng of the former Han Dynasty to cultivate, and Zhang Jujun had just entered the immortal path at that time, and the two worshipped the same teacher - so if you want to talk about the generation of the layman, in fact, Liu Gen is the uncle of the frugality. However, this uncle was not very successful, and was driven down the mountain very early, and the immortal master said that he could live for 300 years, but he had no chance to ascend to the sky for eternity.

As a senior in the immortal cultivation world, Zhang Lu also hurriedly met him with a late birth ceremony. Liu Gen waved his hand, as if he didn't take his young man in his eyes, but just asked Xuan Jian with a smile: "Qing and the others are suitable to come from Yuan Ying?

Xuan Jian was a little unhappy in his heart—you elder must have put too much on the shelf. Ask me where I went just now, it's normal, ask me if I have seen Yuan Shu, it's normal, and ask me directly what I said to Yuan Shu...... You're not my teacher, I have to report everything to you. casually perfunctory: "Because I have an old relationship with General Yuan, I visited him on the way, and I just greeted him." ”

Liu Gen hehehe: "This statement is untrue, but I am afraid that Cao Yanzhou will not believe it." ”

Xuan Jian frowned, and asked, "Jun Ande will Cao Yanzhou?" Could it be that you have dealt with Cao Cao? He opened his mouth and closed his mouth, calling Liu Gen's words, which means that I treat you as a respected elder, but that's all, calling the word is the highest respect, and I won't call you "Uncle Shi", "Liu Gong" or something, don't take yourself too seriously. Because Zhang Jujun usually mentioned him as a junior brother, he was very disapprehensive in his words, and said to Xuan Jian that this person is not right, and it is better for you to have less dealings with him.

Liu Gen pretended not to hear the meaning of estrangement in Xuan Jian's words, and pretended to hold the other party's arm intimately, and greeted with a smile: "I am also suitable for Cao Yanzhou, I am here, and I am here, and Yuan Jieyu will come with me?"

Xuan Jian couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at Zhang Lu, and said in his heart You want to see Cao Cao, now that the opportunity has come, should we go or not? Zhang Lu was also somewhat taken aback, and said in his heart, I am still pondering, should I just miss the opportunity to meet Cao Cao-I just came out of the Yuan camp, and then entered the Cao camp, what is this called? Will Cao Cao regard us as Yuan Shu's spies? But since Liu Gen came to invite ......

So he arched his hand and asked Liu Gen: "Is Cao Yanzhou want to meet us?" or does Liu Gong want to do it?" If Cao Cao sent you to invite us, then it would be just right to meet and take a look; if it is just your personal opinion, then forget it.

Liu Gen nodded: "I have recommended my second son to Cao Yanzhou, so Yanzhou has asked me to extend it." "Cao Cao knows who you are, but after I greeted him, it was indeed he who ordered me to send me over to invite the two of you—in fact, the main thing was to invite Xuan Jian, Zhang Lu is unknown, and he didn't know Liu Gensu before.

Since he said so, Xuan Jian and Zhang Lu had no choice but to follow to Cao Ying. Now although they are cultivating, they have not yet become immortals, their status is still mortal, and they are the lower class of ordinary people among mortals, and Cao Cao is an official, if the official calls the people, how dare he not go? Besides, this official is also very appreciative, and he specially sent Liu Gen over to extend the invitation, even if he does not give Cao Cao face, this Liu senior's face still has to be given a little.

On the way, of course, he asked Liu Gen, how could Cao Cao know that we were nearby? Liu Gen smiled and said: "The two armies are facing each other, and they are carefully and densely distributed, and you are suitable to enter the Yuan camp, and talk to Yuan Highway, how can Cao Yanzhou not know?"

The two walked all the way, because their teachers were on good terms, and they almost talked about everything - of course, Zhang Lu's own life experience, as well as what God had heard, would not say to Xuan Jian - so they had a tacit understanding, and they could communicate between their eyes. Xu Jian's meaning: Cao Cao knows that we have gone to see Yuan Shu, if we ask what we have said to Yuan Shu, how should we be perfunctory? Zhang Lu means: You are not good at lying, so you should look at me when the time comes.

The Yuan army was stationed on the shore of the river in the southeast of Pingyu, and the Cao army was in the Shenting area in the north of Pingyu, and the two armies were separated by about 20 miles. After entering the camp and taking a look, Xuan Jian couldn't help but nod his head and said to Zhang Lu: "Cao's camp is neat, the soldiers are elite, and the Yuan family is far away. ”

Zhang Lu smiled slightly, but did not answer. In fact, he said in his heart, Mr. Xu, you may have too shallow vision. In his opinion, the layout of Cao's camp is a little stronger than that of the Yuan family, and the soldiers are all high-spirited, not as tired and depressed as most Yuan soldiers, but the discipline and training are not necessarily strong. You must know that the Kwantung princes privately recruited soldiers and horses to please Dong Zhuo, but it was only a few years, the soldiers lacked effective training, and there was a constant shortage of food, and they often killed all the way and grabbed all the way, and the military discipline may not be very good. Zhang Lu has seen the soldiers of the people of later generations, and with that momentum and spirit, there is no problem in fighting three or five elite Cao soldiers - of course, this is only in terms of morale and training, and has not considered the difference in weapon generation.

When the Han Dynasty reached this year, the state politics were overpowered, the scholars were extravagant, and the combat effectiveness of the army naturally plummeted. When it was strong, it was possible to strangle the monument Yanran, and beat the main force of the Huns like a dog, but now the Southern Huns only led more than 10,000 horsemen to join with Bai Bo in Fuluo, and ravaged Hedong for many years, and no one could resist it. If you want to say that the army with real combat effectiveness is just the Xiliang soldiers and horses who have been on the front line of the war against Qiang for a long time, but Xuan Jian has not seen it much, so when he saw Cao Bing, he felt quite awesome.

Cao Bing may be quite awesome, but that has to be in the future, and now that Cao Cao has not been around for a long time, he can only bully and bully Yuan Shu, who is worse than him.

Enter the main tent and meet Cao Cao. Cao Cao was quite face-saving, and even set up a banquet to wait for the two of them - maybe it was to wait for the thrifty, and the young Zhang Lu was just an addition. When he entered the account, Zhang Lu was a little excited, and said that today he could not only see Cao Cao, but also see many Cao Ying's fierce generals and strategists, which was really worth the trip. It's a pity that after Cao Cao greeted Xu Jian, he raised his hand to introduce everyone who sat with him, what Zhang Miao, Ding Chong, Lou Gui and the like, Zhang Lu all felt that he had never heard of any of them!

Hey, where is Xun Yu? Where is Guo Jia? What about Xu Yu and Dian Wei? Could it be that I came early, and those celebrities haven't voted for Cao yet?

In fact, these people are here, but they just don't come to the banquet. One is that they are all busy with military affairs, and the other is that Cao Cao is seeing two Fang Shi, and he also put the Wenchen and military generals together, which is too much for Fang Shi, right? Besides, there are not a few people in Cao Ying's camp who naturally hate Fang Shi. So most of the people he called to the banquet were old friends, which means: Today's friends have a meal and drink, and it has nothing to do with state affairs and military affairs.

Zhang Lu looked at Cao Cao, who was small and thin-faced, which was far from the image in the villain book and TV series...... Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao asked, what did you two say to Yuan Shu when you two went to Yuan Ying just now? ”

Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Is it a highway occupation?"
