Early the next morning, Xinbi Kaicheng welcomed the Han army into the city, and the people greeted each other in the middle of the road, all for a glimpse of Wolong's style.

When he arrived at the mansion, Zhuge Liang ordered people to go out to settle the people, and still took Xin Bi as the Taishou of Xingyang, set up a banquet in the mansion to celebrate his achievements, receive officials of all sizes, and appease people's hearts.

Xin Biyan said: "Cao's army was defeated in Guanzhong, and the army attacked Henan again, and now Luoyang is empty, why not take advantage of the situation to break it in one fell swoop?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Zhong Yuan is often loyal and good, in the past, he helped the Son of Heaven in danger, traveled to the east and west and two capitals, and was unswerving. This is the continuation of Han Zuo and the unification of the way of heaven, with the wisdom of Zhong Gong, how can he not know? ”

Xin Biyan said: "Zhong Xuan is deeply valued by Cao Cao, I don't know what his meaning is, Xu Huang has retreated to Hedong, if the military advisor wants to persuade him to surrender, he should send someone to send a letter as soon as possible." ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "I have already sent someone to Luoyang, even if Zhong Xuan hesitates, nearly 200,000 troops in Guanzhong are dispatched, can Xiahou Nan'an hold Tongguan?" If Tongguan is lost, Xu Huang's remnants will be defeated, and they have been cut off by me to return to the sky. ”

Xin Bi also knew that with the current situation, the Han army was already overwhelming, and asked: "Since Luoyang is in the bag, isn't the military advisor intending to be in Xuchang?" ”

"Guandu!" Zhuge Liang's eyes were slightly cold, and he said slowly: "In the past, Cao Cao defeated the strong with the weak, and the Guandu won a great victory, and now I am fighting the Guandu again, and this is also the fate of the Cao family!" ”

……

The east of Luoyang City, the west garden of the imperial city, was originally the location of the imperial garden, Cao Cao ordered people to build Danqing Terrace, flowing water pavilions, flowers are blooming, in order to be exclusively for calligraphy and painting, literati amusement.

In an octagonal pavilion in the center of the lake, Zhong Xuan stood with a pen in his hand, more emaciated than in Chang'an, with a scattered beard, and even a little haggard.

There is a bluestone of the Yellow River here, Zhong Xuan has to come here every day to dip in water to practice calligraphy, a few months ago the seal book, the official book into one, suddenly have a experience, when the practice is being held, the news of Guanzhong came, stirred his mind uneasy.

The feeling of being ready to come out, but not knowing where to start, made him almost crazy.

It's like going to the toilet urgently, unbuttoning your pants, but you can't pee, and it's like passing on the lineage with your concubine every day, but you can't always have fun.

Since returning to Luoyang, I heard that the Taoist chief Zuo Ci is quite effective, and Zhong Miao also personally went to Shaomu Mountain to visit the hexagram and ask about the heirs about incense.

Zuo Ci hinted that he went against the way of heaven and entrusted him to no one, which was the punishment of the Yin Division, and if he could not accumulate more Yin virtue, or return to the right path, he would be doomed.

This sign is like a boulder pressing on his heart, making Zhong Xuan depressed all day long, and even giving up hard work every night, since what he has done has been fruitless, why waste energy, tired and backache, dizzy?

was feeling that nothing had been accomplished, and suddenly his own soldiers ran in quickly, and shouted to the flower pond that Xingyang was lost, and the Jingzhou army was coming to the Tiger Pass.

Bang Bang –

Zhong Xuan trembled, the pen in his hand fell to the ground, pointed outside and said loudly: "Quick, hurry up and urge Xu Gongming to come!" ”

Xingyang is lost, Luoyang is attacked by the enemy, only relying on the Tiger Pass and Hangu Pass may be difficult to hold, the pass has been lost, if Zhuge Liang breaks through Yanzhou, Luoyang becomes a lonely city, at this time only Xu Huang can return to the city as soon as possible to save the defeat.

Hurriedly returned to the palace, all the officials had arrived, and the news of Guanzhong made everyone uneasy, and Xingyang was lost again, and suddenly felt that a crisis was coming.

Although Zhong Xuan was anxious, he stabilized his body when he arrived at the door, walked in slowly, and said to everyone: "The Tiger Prison Pass is heavily guarded, don't worry, Xu Huang will lead the troops to Luoyang in a few days." When the army arrives, it can send troops at the same time as Zhang Liao, attack back and forth, and stabilize the Central Plains in one fell swoop. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and Zhong Xuan comforted him for a while, ordering them to perform their duties, appease people's hearts, and not cause chaos among themselves.

The next day, he ordered someone to inquire about the news of Xingyang, and Zhuge Liang did not rush to enter the army after taking Xingyang, but received the counties of Henan, made a list of peaceful people, and publicized the new policy of Jingzhou, and the people were all happy.

Zhong Xuan's brows furrowed when he heard the report, if Zhuge Liang urgently sent troops to attack the Tiger Pass, the two armies held each other, and the people were resentful, he could wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

was thinking about how to break the situation, the family will report, someone asked to see, Zhong Miao took the post, saw that the handwriting was very familiar, couldn't help but jump in his heart, and said in a lost voice: "Who is coming?" ”

"It's Gongzi Changqian."

Zhong Xuan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly ordered: "Please go to the Qingluan Pavilion in the backyard quickly, and don't let others see it." ”

The general retreated, Zhong Xuan picked up the letter again and read it carefully, and unconsciously shook his head and said: "Hey-this son's handwriting can be the same as Wen Ruo's, and the score is exactly the same, it's strange!" ”

The person who came was Xun Yun, the eldest son of Xun Yu, although Zhong Yu was surprised by his arrival, but what was even more shocked was the words on the post.

If you talk about today's calligraphy attainments, except for the predecessor Cai Yong, there are very few who can compare with Zhong Xuan, and if you want to deceive him in handwriting, it is tantamount to an axe in the class.

In order to deceive Xu Shu to Xuchang, Cheng Yu imitated Xu's mother's handwriting, Cao Cao and others thought that it was enough to confuse the real with the fake, and they also sent someone to send the book to Chang'an, asking Zhong Xuan to distinguish it, and Zhong Xuan could see at a glance that it was imitating handwriting.

But Xun Yun's handwriting is exactly the same as Xun Yu's, without any traces, how can it not make Zhong Yun frightened?

Quickly came to the secret room, saw Xun Yun dressed in green clothes, dressed as a monk, after seeing the ceremony, he didn't care to ask the meaning, pointed to the letterhead and said: "The virtuous nephew's calligraphy attainments are amazing, and he is not different from Wenruo, as if he is out of his own, I don't know what to learn, and I hope to teach." ”

"This ......" Xun Yun was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "The student's calligraphy is taught by Uncle Mengshi, and he hasn't peeked into the door yet, how dare he get an axe in the class?" ”

"And this?" Zhong Xuan looked at the letter again, but he still couldn't tell the difference, and couldn't help but doubt himself, "Could it be that I am old and dazzled, and I actually read the wrong handwriting?" ”

After looking at it carefully for a while, not only did those words become unfamiliar, but they also felt that they didn't look like Xun Yu's handwriting.

With a light sigh, he put down the letter, motioned for Xun Yun to sit down again, and asked with a restrained mind: "The virtuous nephew is not at home to keep filial piety, why did he dress up in Luoyang like this?" ”

Xun Yun hugged his fists and said: "The younger generation is here to persuade Uncle Shi to know the current affairs as soon as possible, and not to follow in the footsteps of his father." ”

"What did you say?" Zhong Xuan had just calmed down, and when he heard the words, he got up suddenly, stared at Xun Yun and said in a deep voice: "How dare you teach me to do things?" ”

"Students don't dare!" Xun Yun hugged his fists and said: "Uncle Shi just said that my handwriting is no different from my father's, have you ever thought that this is not a lack of experience, but another hidden secret?" ”

"What's going on?" Zhong Xuan was slightly stunned, and snorted coldly: "There are countless people in the world who imitate other people's handwriting, and there are countless people who confuse the real with the fake, but I don't want to escape my eyes, the handwriting in this book is the same, the charm and the text are the same, and there are only a handful of people who have come to this realm, unless they ......"

"You mean ......" Speaking of this, Zhong Xuan's face suddenly changed greatly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Wen Ruo...... Where? ”

Xun Yun took out two more letters and handed them over: "Uncle Shi has read this book and knows it. ”

Zhong Miao hurriedly took it, and saw that one was Xun Yu, and the other was Zhuge Liang, and muttered: "I see, it's really so......"
