Chapter 23, the dry bones in the mound

"I'm so stupid, really. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I only know that Cao Ying has a famous brave general named Le Jin, and I also know that there is an iron named Zi Lehe in Shuibo Liangshan, and I don't know that there is also a surname Le under the command of Yuan Shu...... With such a small surname, why are there so many people?" - the sorrow in Zhang Lu's heart.

You must know that most of the flags in the army in these years are painted with patterns, such as the four spirits and four beasts, the twenty-eight stars, the five elements of gossip, etc., and not like some people in later generations misunderstood, write the names of the generals - because the vast majority of the soldiers are illiterate, it may not be difficult for you to let them recognize one or two character flags, if there are too many word flags, they will definitely make a mistake if they don't remember them completely. Of course, it is not absolutely that there is no word flag, most of them write the position of the general, and occasionally there is a surname, which is only used to recognize the flag and follow the general. For example, this general under Yuan Shu's command, Le, has only this banner of "music" in his team of more than 1,000 people.

If the folk rumors are true, there are "Cao" flags everywhere in Cao's army, and "Yuan" flags everywhere in Yuan's army, unless Zhang Lu is blind, he will definitely not admit his mistake. But there is neither the word "Cao" nor the word "Yuan", just the word "music", he took it for granted for a while, blocked the road to speak, and the result was that the bull's head was not in the horse's mouth.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and first asked the general what you call him, otherwise he was anxious for a while, and blurted out: "I have a relationship with Cao Yanzhou, and I have come to worship each other." "Le can shoot him on the spot and stab him through the cold!

But after all, half of the words had already come out of my mouth, and it was difficult to swallow them back—what do you say?" or "Did I misconfess and take my leave?" or "I suddenly remembered that there was something important to do, so I might as well not see it for the time being." "Le must have treated him as a spy - still the most confused and useless kind of spy.

Just one fun is enough, but he leads more than a thousand soldiers, even if Zhang Lu can fight again, after all, there is no horse under his crotch and no gun in his palm. If you see that the situation is not right, you should quickly turn around and run, but it may not be impossible to escape, but this is too embarrassing. Zhang Lu is very angry at this time, after all, I have cultivated the Immortal Dao for several years, and I went to heaven to see the Heavenly Father, so I am not the same as you and other sentient beings, and I will leave in front of you, where will I put my face in the future?

Besides, it's not that no one has seen it, isn't there a frugal person next to him, do you dare to guarantee that he will never say it? I'm afraid that I won't be able to raise my head in the cultivation realm in the future, even if I fly to the heavenly realm, it will be a lewd immortal.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but tilt my head slightly and glance at Xuan Jian. I saw that the old man hung his head very naturally, refusing to make eye contact with him, but his beard trembled slightly, which still revealed his concise and clear mental activity......

When he heard the music, he asked, "Since it is my lord's knowledge, let it be a guide." I don't know what to call it?"

It was inconvenient for Zhang Lu to lie, so he had to report his real name: "Zhang Lu of Mi County." Next to him, he also said: "Yangcheng Xuanjian." "Let's just say okay, I'll take the two of you to my lord-in-law—come here, and lead two horses for the two gentlemen."

So Zhang and Xuan had to turn over their horses, follow behind Le, and walk along the road surrounded by soldiers. Zhang Lu leaned slightly, stretched his neck, approached Xuan Jian, and asked him in a low voice: "You have no stealing?" Are you secretly laughing at me? Xuan Jian gritted his teeth, held back a smile, and replied very sincerely: "Yes." ”

"What now?"

"You do it yourself, please accept it. ”

Zhang Lu couldn't wait to jump into the air immediately, grabbed Le Qiao's neck, and took him hostage, so that he could run away - but after thinking about it, this is still the same shame. That's it, that's it, I'll go with him to see Yuan Shu, it is estimated that the names of the two of us will be reported, Yuan Shu will definitely flick his sleeves: "I don't know, I don't see!" With his identity, there must be many cats and dogs who want to come to make friends, or recommend themselves to seek an official and a half-job, how can he have the kung fu to see the past one by one.

It's just that Yuan Shu said that he didn't know, not necessarily that he didn't really know, maybe he just didn't have enough friendship and didn't want to see each other - besides, based on the image of Yuan Shu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it's not strange even if he blows his old friends away. That's why Le didn't come out and shout angrily, saying that these two were liars, and they would have tied me up and cut them down! "Quiet and mellow, please get out of here.

When the time comes, he sneers twice, turns around and leaves, and does not lose face and is not in danger at all, isn't it very good? At most, he wasted a few hours of time and went to Yuan Ying to take a limp, and he should all see the Western scenery.

Sure enough, the time was not long, and the military column arrived at Yuan's camp. Le ordered the soldiers to return to the barracks, and led Zhang and Xuan to Yuan Shu's main account to pay the order and report. The two of them stood outside the tent, looking around with crossed hands, and Zhang Lu asked Xuan Jian: "How is it?" What do you think of Yuan Shu's army?

Xuan Jian shook his head slightly: "It will be defeated." ”

Zhang Luxin said that Yuan Shu would be defeated by Cao Cao sooner or later, I know this, but although you can take the calculation, you don't see the ability of unpredictable prophets, how did you find out? "What do you see and Yun Ran?"

Xuan Jian said, although I don't know how to fight, but I also did a state assassination history, led troops, and defended against yellow scarves back then-of course, the ending was a complete failure-so this little bit of eyesight is still priced. Don't look at Le's soldiers and horses are quite vigorous and high-spirited, it is just a small army after all, and it may have just won a small battle. If you look at the guards in front of the big tent, as well as the patrol soldiers and horses in the camp, the Thai soldiers have a tired look on their faces, and even some of them are depressed, not like a victorious army.

Speaking of the camp tent arrangement, the state of the circle of Yuan Shu's camp is acceptable, but when we came in, we also saw that the tents in the outer circle were very scattered, and the soldiers were lying on the ground basking in the sun, chatting together, and even gambling, and there was no one who was wiping weapons and sorting out clothes. With such discipline and such morale, how can it be possible to win a war?

When Zhang Lu heard this, he couldn't help but nod: "The gentleman is very observant, and I can't do it." "I am very observant now, but I am not rich enough in social experience, and my analytical ability is not as good as yours, so it is indeed worth continuing to sharpen and improve.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone in the tent shouting: "Please see Jun and Zhang Jun!"

Ah, Zhang Lu was blindsided on the spot - Yuan Shu really planned to see us? Why is this?

Look at Xuan Jian again, first dust off the placket of his clothes, and then arch his hands and enter with his hands held high. Zhang Lu had no choice but to follow behind - people are so much older than me, he went first, and I left, that's normal.

When I entered the tent, I saw a circle of halberd wrestlers along the edge of the tent, and there were two columns on the left and right in the tent, sitting in civil and military affairs. The first person, in his forties, wears a leather jacket on his head, a pheasant feather, a brown hakama, a broad face, thick eyebrows and a light beard, and his appearance is quite mighty - this is what Cao Cao said about "dry bones in the grave" Yuan Shu Yuan Road?

When the two entered the account, they both made a long gesture and said, "Meet the general." At this time, Yuan Shu's official position was "Hou General".

Seeing Yuan Shu waving his hand, he smiled kindly: "Gong Yin is here to help me?"

I see, Zhang Luxin said that he didn't want to see me, but wanted to see Xuanjian!

Therefore, Yizhou Assassin Shi Yijian is not actually dead, not many people know about this, but Yuan Shu is one of them. This is because the fourth generation and the third duke of the Yuan family, the protégés and former officials are all over the court and the opposition, and Yin Jian can also get in touch with them in a roundabout way, and he lives in seclusion in Yangcheng, which is not far from Luoyang, and refuses to change his name and surname, just changing the way his surname is written, how can the Yuan family not find out the truth? I think that Yuan Shu escaped from Luoyang in order to avoid Dong Zhuo, and he once sent someone to visit Xuan Jian on the way, hoping that he could assist him, but unfortunately he failed to do so. Today, Xuan Jian sent it to the door by himself, and Yuan Shu was naturally overjoyed.

You must know that the assassin history at this time is no longer a petty official of the supervision system of the former Han Dynasty, but a local magistrate with a rank higher than Jiuqing. Yuan Shu doesn't value Xuan Jian, he values the influence that Xuan Jian may still have in the officialdom.

However, Xuan Jian just shook his head: "I am following the Tao today, and I do not predict the world." Today, I am ordered by the teacher to pass through this, and I will hear the ears of the deceased for a while. "I didn't intend to help you, I just happened to pass by and say hello to you.

Zhang Luxin said that Xuan Yuanjie is really a good person, and he didn't confess to me......

When Yuan Shu heard this, he was quite regretful, but in front of everyone's eyes, it was not good to blow Xuan Jian out - friends came all the way to see you, at least you have to give you water to drink. Immediately arranged a seat, and asked Xuan and Zhang to sit next to him. Then asked about Zhang Lu, Xuan Jian replied simply: "My Taoist friend, Count Zhang Lu Zhang of Mi County." ”

Yuan Shu said a few words, and then persuaded Xuan Jian to help, but Xuan Jian refused again, for fear that Yuan Shu's persuasion would not be finished, so he simply changed the topic and asked him: "General Wen and Cao Yanzhou are fighting, why?"

Yuan Shu said hatefully: "I was originally gracious, but he came to take away my Runan, and this must be instigated by the son of the servant!"

I think that in Luoyang City, the relationship between Yuan and Cao was very good, and Yuan Shu and Cao Cao were also old friends. Later, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the first one to run away was Yuan Shao, and then Cao Cao, and Cao Cao fled in a hurry, even leaving his wife and children behind, thanks to Yuan Shu who sent people to protect them, and later escorted them to Chen Liu to meet Cao Cao. That's why he said that I was kind to Cao Cao, but who would have thought that he listened to the instigation of the "maid son" and actually sent troops to beat me.

The so-called "maid gives birth to a son" is Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao's mother has a low status, just a concubine, he is considered a concubine, so Yuan Shu will scold him for being raised by a maid.

Xuan Jian frowned and said, "Brother Qing is harmonious, why do you want to do this now?"

If you don't ask this, you just poke at Yuan Shu's sore spot, so she twisted her brows, her mouth forked, and she began to pour bitter water. Originally, Yuan Shao was a concubine, Yuan Shu was a concubine, and in terms of inheritance within the clan, Yuan Shu, as a brother, was in front, but who would have thought that Yuan Shao was inherited from the third room to the second room, and the succession order was beyond Yuan Shu. It's just that even at that time, the relationship between the two people named cousins and actually brothers was quite harmonious, because they were not the first and second in line, so there was no point in arguing.

When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the two brothers ran away one after another, and one north and one south, each gathered disciples to incite the Kwantung Prefecture County to rebel against Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was angry and killed all the Yuan family who stayed in Luoyang. As a result, only these two brothers are the only ones who are qualified to inherit the political legacy of the protégé who is all over the world. These two brothers are ambitious and ambitious, so is there any reason not to fight just like that?

In Yuan Shu's opinion, Yuan Shao, although you are older than me, but you are a concubine, even if you pass on to the second uncle, you can't just become a concubine, never pass on the concubine, what qualifications do you have to fight with me? I didn't want to do anything with you, but you first instigated Liu Biao and Cao Cao to beat me, do you still have a little brotherhood? Do you still have a little conscience? Do you still have a little shame?!

- In fact, he first went to contact Yuan Shao's great enemy, Gongsun Zhan, but from his mouth, only Yuan Shao was a demon, and he was an incomparably pure white lotus.

This accusation of blood and tears, Xuan Jian couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, and finally interjected: "I don't know how the war is?" Let's talk about something else, okay? I don't want to get involved in the little mess of your Yuan family, and I feel dirty to even listen to it.

Yuan Shu's face sank, he clenched his teeth, and said hatefully: "Cao Cao stole Yanzhou, collected yellow scarves and reduced millions of soldiers, and it is really difficult to do it." Today, there are twenty-three battles of different sizes, and the results are mixed, and it is expected that they will not be able to win all......"

Xuan Jianxin said that "I can't win everything", I guess you are going to lose. I was about to comfort Yuan Shu for a few words, and then say goodbye to the flashing person, when I suddenly saw Yuan Shu's eyes roll, then poked his head out, and said with a pleasant face: "Wen Xuan Jun can occupy it, please occupy it for me." "What do you think of my future?

Xuan Jian said that I have not been cultivating for many years, and I have just learned divination, I am afraid that the calculation is not accurate, and he repeatedly refused, but Yuan Shu refused to let him go and insisted on calculating. In the end, Xuan Jian had no choice, and said that then please find me a quiet place, and let me make a divination for you.

Yuan Shu said that there is no need to change places, just follow here. So he drank everyone back, and left himself and Xuan Jian, Zhang Lu, and two attendants in the big tent. Xuan Jian asked to burn a furnace of incense, and first fetched water to clean his face and hands, and then took out the yarrow tube from his arms.

Folklore has it that divination requires fasting and bathing before purifying the body and mind and communicating with the gods, but in fact, it is all nonsense. Xuan Jian told Zhang Lu that the so-called divination is a kind of prophecy, what is to communicate is the unconscious way of heaven, and what is to be studied is the connection between things, and it really has nothing to do with gods, gods and ghosts. Fasting and bathing, so it is important, it is just a trick of charlatans to raise their own value - besides, even if he really wants to fast and bathe, he doesn't plan to waste so much time with Yuan Shu.

As for burning incense and washing hands, it is just to regulate the mind in order to achieve the best mental state. Otherwise, when you breathe, the air is turbid, and it smells of stinky feet, how can you concentrate on divination? Your hands are full of ink and even vegetable stains left by the last meal, and you can use it to grab yarrow, how many times are you going to use this set of yarrow?

If you want to talk about family divination, the most orthodox ones are turtle divination and yarrow divination. The so-called turtle is to burn the tortoise back carapace or cow shoulder blade, observe its lines, so as to detect the will of heaven, the materials are disposable, can not be used repeatedly, and it is not convenient to carry. Therefore, the gradual yarrow is popular, that is, with fifty processed yarrow, through multiple separation, according to the remaining number to determine yin and yang, six times yarrow can discharge a hexagram, and then change a line, according to the "Zhou Yi", the final result - yarrow is different from tortoise shell, it can be used repeatedly.

Let's say that Xuan Jian meditated and meditated for a while, and then he immediately analyzed and divided the yarrow, and finally came up with a hexagram. But as soon as the results came out, he couldn't help frowning, and squinted at Zhang Lu. Yuan Shu asked him eagerly: "How?" Xuan Jian pondered for a while, and replied, "I dare not speak." ”

Yuan Shu said that what is there not to dare to say? Could it be that the hexagram says that I will die soon? Don't worry, I am not a person who just wants to listen to good words, you can say it boldly.

Xuan Jian glanced at Zhang Lu again, and suddenly said: "I'm afraid that there is a miscalculation, please discuss with Zhang Jun first, or dare to go to the general." ”
