This song "Liang Fu Yin", the sound of the piano is still the same.

The music played by Zhuge Liang gradually accelerated, as if the originally smooth flowing stream became turbulent due to the terrain.

Then, as the sound of the harp became faster and faster, as if the stream had joined the river, the water suddenly became more and more turbulent, and rushed downstream.

At this moment, the story of the two peaches killing the three soldiers jumped into Cao Cao's mind.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi were the courtiers of Qi Jinggong, brave and arrogant.

Qi Xiangyan Ying wanted to get rid of these three people, so he asked Jing Gong to give them two peaches and let them take the peaches, but the three of them abandoned the peaches and committed suicide.

- "Two peaches kill three soldiers!"

Cao Cao's heart couldn't help but chant this sentence again.

He looked up at Zhuge Liang and couldn't help but drive his horse forward.

"Prime Minister be careful! Watch out for the Dark Arrows! ”

Zhang He hurriedly stopped, but if Cao Cao didn't hear it, Zhang He could only lead his troops to guard and raise his shield, and at this moment they were already within the range of Jiangzhou City.

"Prime Minister..."Zhang He also said.

Cao Cao raised his hand and stopped him.

Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes slightly, and saw Cao Cao approaching, sweat oozing from his sideburns, but a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The melody gradually slowed down, softer as if to speak, and Zhuge Liang's heart seemed to be integrated into the sound of the piano.

"I have heard your Cao Cao Xiaoxiong name for a long time, today the gate of Jiangzhou City is open, I will send you the right time and place, take down Jiangzhou, then Bazhong can be determined, if Bazhong is determined, then look at Shuzhong, the decisive battle will begin! Even though there are thousands of troops and horses in ambush in my city gate, you Cao Cao should also break through, right? For example, when you broke into the city of Puyang, you were lit with a halberd by Lu Bu and asked you, 'Where is Cao Cao?' How do you answer: 'He is the one who rode the yellow horse in front!' ’”

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, and in the sound of the piano, he felt Zhuge Liang's heart.

I couldn't help but respond in my heart: "Aren't you afraid?" Even if the army is lost, but if you are captured and this is fixed, what hope does your lord have? ”

Across a city wall, the two looked at each other, as if they were talking, more like they were playing.

The sound of the piano also began to become intense.

"Liang is in ambush in the city, but Liang is not sure of victory, and you Cao Cao is not sure that he will be able to take this chin, right? I'm not sure about taking this Xichuan, right? Liang stroked the qin on the top of the city tower today, not to show weakness, nor to seduc, but to remind you, this hero, that you have been away from the Central Plains for half a year, and how long do you plan to stay in this Shu Road? One year, two years, I can afford to fight, but can you Cao Cao keep it? Is your rear steady? ”

It's still a cliché.

Since Cao Cao became the duke, the clan that had supported him Wei Wu and established a hegemony began to fight against him Cao Cao.

- Xun Yu, Xun You, Cui Yan.

These strategists and talents who had supported him, gave him advice, and gave him guidance turned their backs on him one by one.

- Those who are not surnamed Liu are not allowed to be kings.

Cao Cao finally stabbed the hornet's nest.

Han Chamber...

After all, they still live in the world of experience of these families.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao did not dare to go on an expedition for a long time, and after capturing Hanzhong and Zhang Lu surrendered, he sent Xiahoudun back to Xudu without stopping.

Even today, Cao Cao is still hesitating whether he should go south.

What he hesitated...

It seems that at this moment, it all passed into Cao Cao's mind through the sound of Zhuge Liang's piano and his heart.

"Cao Cao, you don't dare to stay on this Shu Road for a long time, your rear is unstable... Those great families you once relied on are now staring at you one by one? Once you fight my lord, once you are trapped in this Shu road, you can't get out, the Central Plains and the north... Who else can stabilize the situation? ”

"What's more, for such a difficult thing as entering Shu, in history, except for Qin, who took advantage of the civil strife among the local natives to enter Shu; In addition to Emperor Guangwu's Yangtze River and Longyou double-way assault; Except for this Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang who invited my 'lord' in, who else has done it? ”

"Say something that shouldn't be said, Wei is not Qin, you Cao Cao is not Emperor Guangwu, you can't stand on the Yangtze River! And Hanzhong attacked Shu, Baishui, Jiameng, Jiange... Can you beat these three natural risks? My lord Liu Bei has not been blocked by these three natural dangers, especially for two years, my lord can afford to drag it, can you Cao Cao afford it? ”

"Cao Cao, I played this "Liang Fu Yin" to tell you that in "Liang Fu Yin", Gongsun received the enemy wild boar and was able to defeat the tigress, Tian Kaijiang was able to repel the enemy twice, defend the land and open up the territory, Gu Yezi could dive into the water, take a hundred steps against the current, and kill the 'river god', they were so brave, but they were killed by Yanzi's 'Ertao'. It is true that you Cao Cao is several times better than them, but how many 'Prime Minister Yan Zi of Qi State' are there in the Central Plains, and how many people want to split your Wei with 'Ertao'! ”

"You are sixty years old, dying of old age, if you are in Bashu? Die in Bashu! The net in the Weiyang Palace, I am afraid that it has been prepared for your descendants of Cao Wei, this city... If you Cao Cao dares to break through, Liang and you will die in the net, but Wei Zhi will be buried with you, and Liang has no regrets! ”

Zhuge Liang played "Liang Fuyin"... It's like a wave.

This chaotic tune, the voice of the heart, floated out.

- Cao Cao, you're not young anymore!

——At the end of this life, the most important thing should not be to expand the territory and dominate the world, but to beware of 'two peaches killing three soldiers', and to find a way to land smoothly!

- How many people in this world fly high enough, but in the end they fail to land smoothly? Aren't these people pitied?

As Zhuge Liang's piano sound became fierce again, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly opened.

Zhuge Liang's song, his reminder... Cao Cao understood it thoroughly.

Why did he play the harp at the head of the city even though there was an ambush in the city?

He is telling about his Zhuge Liang's predicament and Cao Cao's predicament, they are mortal enemies, but they are in such a similar situation...

- Their biggest enemy is not external trouble, but internal trouble!

They also all have all kinds of hardships, and they shouldn't fight this battle, and they can't fight it!

At this moment, Cao Cao held his head high, and his eyes were full of "admiration" when he looked at Zhuge Liang again...

At this moment, Cao Cao, he seemed to see Xun Yu's shadow in a trance.

It's like it's not Zhuge Liang who plays the piano in this Jiangzhou city, but his Cao Cao's "ovary" Xun Yu!

Don't look at Cao Cao's life like a heifer making wires - always bullish, coaxing and hanging lightning!

Seems shrewd and great.

But in fact, his mind is often confused.

He will think about Xuzhou in the initial stage, when he is tearing up with Lu Bu;

He will not think about going north after the victory in Guandu, and will think about going south to fight Liu Biao;

These are the ultimate big tricks.

And the reason why it didn't cause a catastrophe.

It is precisely because of the fact that in the past few decades, there has always been a top strategic master Xun Yu dragging him to prevent him from going astray!

But who would have thought that three years ago, Xun Yu, a Hanchen, "had no Han Lu to speak of", and he committed suicide by taking poison.

This "grand strategist" who once pulled him by hand to prevent him from going astray, after his death... The entire Central Plains and the northern border set off a huge wave of anti-Cao.

His Cao Cao's "ovary", after his death... Suddenly it became a huge obstacle for him Cao Cao to take another step forward.

In the past three years, the political situation in the Central Plains and the north has been extremely turbulent!

In the past three years, Cao Cao has had the most difficult three years since the defeat of Chibi.

"Lone regrets it—"

Cao Cao squinted, and he muttered at Zhuge Liang in Jiangzhou City.

What he was thinking about was his ovary, "Liu Bei still has Zhuge Kongming's 'ovary', but Lone's 'ovary' is no longer there!" ”

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's heart turned to each other.

- "Lonely and unjust, Xun Lingjun... How would you like to come back?'

Cao Cao's sudden move caused Zhang He's father and son to look sideways, both of them looked at him in surprise, and looked at Zhuge Liang nervously, Zhang He's heart couldn't help but have questions.

- "The prime minister looks like this, in the end, can he enter the city?"

Zhuge Liang in Jiangzhou City didn't know Cao Cao's mental journey.

While playing the piano, he examined the appearance of Cao Cao under the city, and Ma Jian could feel that his clothes were soaked with sweat.

"Cao Cao, my lord hates you, my lord can't wait to suck your bone marrow, my lord is holding high the banner of 'Han and thief do not stand together', after all, my lord has removed the protection of the periphery, this is to tell you, don't move forward! At this moment, the decisive battle on the Shu Road, whether it is you or my lord, it is not the time, my lord let Liang bring a word to you Cao Cao, one day, my lord will hunt with you in the field, a duel! ”

The sound of the piano is already sonorous and majestic at this moment, like thousands of troops and horses fighting, like swords and guns!

Zhang He became more and more anxious, and he couldn't help but say: "Prime Minister... If there is an ambush, Zhuge Liang will inevitably lure our army into the city? Why bother with such suspicions? Let the last general lead the troops to kill first, if he is ambushed, it is not too late for the prime minister to make a plan..."

didn't wait for Zhang He to finish speaking.

But I saw a pioneer pawn stand up, this pawn was burly and said: "The little one's name is Wang Ping, he is a Brazilian, and now he is serving as a ten-captain of the Wei army, General Zhang's life is related to the command of the army, and there can be no mistakes, let the little one go to find out." ”

It was Wang Ping who shouted, the one who cooperated with Ma Jian in the street pavilion in history.

It is important to know that he was not a general of Shu Han from the beginning, but after Zhang Luhan surrendered, he followed the seven kings of Brazil, 'Puhu', to raise Bayi and Cóng people to attach themselves to Cao Cao.

Wang Ping is one of these "people", and now serves as the commander of ten in Cao's army.

The surrender of Shu was after the Battle of Dingjun Mountain.

It's just that...

Although Wang Ping had this decision, Cao Cao's state of mind had changed dramatically.

In the past, there were Jingzhou generals, and now I understand Kong Ming's mind.

Cao Cao has realized that at this time, it no longer makes sense to hit the chin.

He can't afford to spend it on this Shu Road!

He had to go back immediately... He can't be dragged here by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Just like the mood expressed in the sound of Zhuge Liangqin.

It is important to dominate the world, but he is sixty years old, and the family is undecided, and the obstacles have not been removed.

Now what he needs to solve is not external troubles, but internal problems.

That's it!

That's it!

- Cao Cao has made up his mind!

However, Wang Ping's tone was firm, and he emphasized again: "Prime Minister Cao, let me go... My life is low, and I go into the city with all my might, even if there is an ambush, it will not hurt to kill me. ”

As he spoke, Wang Ping mentioned that the halberd was going to go to it.

But when he heard a "swish", Cao Cao drew his sword and stopped in front of Wang Ping.

Zhang He was shocked, "Prime Minister! ”

Cao Cao pressed the halberd in Wang Ping's hand with his sword, and his voice was raised: "Ten Captains Wang Ping!" You just said something wrong! ”

"Ahh

Wang Ping was shocked, how could he have expected... The prime minister will be like this.

Righteous and surprised, Cao Cao's words came out one after another, "Every brave soldier under the lonely subordinates, their lives are not cheap!" ”

"Prime Minister..."Zhang He was about to speak.

Cao Cao turned over and dismounted, and he personally put the cloak he was wearing on Wang Ping, and Wang Ping couldn't help but give his hand: "Prime Minister!" ”

Cao Cao immediately ordered, "Zhuge Villager set up an ambush in the city, this Wang Ping wants to break into it for Gu to take a peek, he said that his life is cheap, and it doesn't hurt to kill him, wrong, wrong, the life of every soldier of my Wei army is not cheap, each of you dies, Gu will regret it, how is 'harmless!' ’”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao waved his hand, "Retreat, retreat, Lone could have taken Bazhong, but Lone couldn't bear to die on this thousand-mile Shu Road, retreated, retreated!" Summoning the whole army, the front team becomes the rear team, and withdraw! ”

This... Although Zhang He was puzzled, Cao Cao had already given such an order, what else could he do.

Immediately command the troops and horses to evacuate quickly.

Cao Cao didn't forget to tell Zhang He, "Let Xu Huang withdraw too!" ”

"Prime Minister... Isn't it..."Zhang He wanted to propose, but seeing Cao Cao's weak cheeks, he hurriedly surrendered his hand.

"Whoa!"

For a time, the menacing Wei army retreated like a tide, and the entire mountain was the figure of Cao's retreat.

Zhuge Liang slowly stood up with his desk exhausted, looked at the smoke and dust that was gradually moving away, and sat down as if he had been emptied.

Ma Jian hurriedly supported him and exclaimed: "The prime minister retreated from Cao Cao in the empty city, and this miracle is also..."

The general stationed here climbed up with both hands and feet, and said in disbelief, "Cao Jun has retreated, really retreated." ”

Zhuge Liang gently wiped his sweat and said in an indifferent tone again.

"Just retreat!"

The general here was surprised and dazed, and he wondered: "But... But why is that? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled softly, "If you take Bazhong, the lord will inevitably fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao, this battle is really going to be fought, then it will be two evils for both sides!" ”

Ma Jian frowned and pondered, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly reminded: "It's not good, the military advisor just said... Over there in Fuling..."

Zhuge Liang's expression condensed again.

"- Cao Cao is only one, he came to Bazhong, Fuling... In any case, I can't hold it! ”

"——It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, I will withdraw as soon as possible, and prepare to counterattack back to Fuling! If Cao Cao understood this tune, he would not fall in love with Shu. ”

…

…

Changsha, next to the Laodao River, the flowing water is murmuring, and it falls into a stream.

Guan Lin threw stones into the river boredly, while Zhuge Jin raised his eyes to look at the end of the Xiangjiang River, the place where the water and the sky were on the line.

"You say... Will you Wu Hou send Mr. Zijing here? ”

Guan Lin asked with interest.

He actually has a lot of money in his heart.

Zhuge Jin shook his head, "Wu Hou's mind is not easy to figure out... But..."

"But what?"

"But as you said, Hefei is Wu Hou's heart disease, in order to overcome this heart disease, Wu Hou maybe..."

Talking to this kid, you have to grow 10,000 hearts, otherwise... When did he get yin by him, and count the money for this kid!

- "Bang..." Another stone was thrown, and Guan Lin's eyes stared at the water pattern...

In his mouth, he said: "Why didn't Mr. Zhuge continue to speak?" ”

Zhuge Jin changed his words: "The fourth prince cares about the kung fu of the metropolitan governor, shouldn't he care about your father?" Now he is going north to Xiangfan, I heard that it is snowing heavily in Jingbei, your father for brotherhood, for the sake of the Han family... This Northern Expedition is not easy to think about! ”

"Pull it down—" Guan Lin blurted out, "My father... I don't even bother to mention him! ”

Yes, Guan Lin is in Changsha, why not just care about his father? He couldn't wait to Jiangxia and Xiangfan... the heart of his whole family.

He and his father Guan Yu, who is not easy?

"Ugh..."

Thinking of this, Guan Lin sighed.

- "With such a father, it's really tiring to be a son!"

Zhuge Jin keenly captured Guan Lin's expression and sighed in his heart.

- "This pair of Guan family father and son seem to be enemies!"

Thinking of this, Zhuge Jin changed the topic again, "That Cao thief set off in May, and captured Hanzhong in July, and now it's been more than three months, and I don't know, will he go south to Shu, in the past, I returned from Shu, it can be said that people are panicking, what does Guan Sigongzi think?" ”

"No!" Guan Lin didn't think twice...

"Why?" Zhuge Jin hurriedly asked, he muttered in his heart, this is also resolute, right?

"That's a long story..."Guan Lin spread his hands.

"Nothing to do." Zhuge Jin is interested..."Let's talk about it..."

Guan Lin didn't answer immediately, but couldn't help but squint his eyes and began to ponder about it.

In fact, the problem appeared as early as Zhuge Liang's exam papers.

At that time, Guan Lin was sure that Cao Cao would never go south.

Of course...

The reason for his decision was not Cao Ren's fainting, not Cao Chun's fall, nor Manzhong, Wenpin, Lu Chang, Niu Jin... This is the general who killed Cao Wei Xiangfan with half of the household registration book.

Speaking of which, these are... Accidentally!

These are all reasons that Guan Lin made up casually in order to deal with Zhuge Liang's exam papers.

In fact, in history, Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong in July, and he went back in December...

After shouting for a long time, the south went to Shu, and finally the thunder and rain ended.

What "people are not satisfied, they have Long, and they look back at Shu" Yunyun, it seems that he Cao Cao is not greedy at all.

But in fact, it's all...

The reason why Cao Cao didn't want to be long...

What is the essential reason?

Look at what Cao Cao did after he came back, and he will understand everything.

——In the twentieth year of Jian'an, in December, Cao Cao returned from Nanzheng and stayed in Xiahou Yuan to guard Hanzhong.

-- Twenty-one years of Jian'an.

In February, Cao Cao returned to Yecheng.

In May, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty named Cao Cao as the king of Wei, with 30,000 households.

Sitting on the princes and kings, they are not called ministers, they are not worshiped by edicts, and they worship the world with the crown of the Son of Heaven, the car uniform, the flag, and the ceremonial music, and the temple, the ancestors, and the wax are all like the Han system, and the capital is Yecheng, and the princes are all liehous.

During this period, Cao Cao was still nominally a Hanchen, but in fact he was already an "emperor".

In July, the Southern Xiongnu came to congratulate Cao Cao with the etiquette of the Son of Heaven in Huchuquan, but was detained by Cao Cao in Yecheng, and Cao Cao took the opportunity to divide the Southern Xiongnu into five divisions and selected Han people as Sima to supervise.

——Twenty-two years of Jian'an

In April, the Son of Heaven ordered Cao Cao to set up the Son of Heaven banner, and the entry and exit were called the police.

It means that when the emperor enters and exits, he is on guard on the road he passes through and clears the way.

That is, to close the road so that the people can avoid it on the road.

In the winter of October, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty gave Cao Cao the crown of two out of ten, taking the golden root car, driving six horses, and setting up a five-hour auxiliary car.

Cao Cao took Cao Pi, the middle man of the five features, as the prince of Wei.

So far...

It is not difficult to see that it took two years for Cao Cao to return to Xudu.

In the past two years, whether it is the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms or the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, all the records are very vague...

However, Cao Cao completed the entire evolutionary process from "Duke of Wei" to "King of Wei" and then to almost exactly the same ritual system as "Son of Heaven".

Two years later, Cao Cao is no longer the northern lieutenant of Luoyang who cast a five-color stick to beat the powerful;

It is no longer a Dunqiu order to issue ten crimes, punish the strong, and return the people to the sky;

is no longer the Jinan phase who smashed the obscene shrine;

It's no longer a speaker who dares to speak up...

Not to mention that, the princes of the Eighteenth Road begged for Dong, shouted out "Zhujun is north, I am from the west" Such bold words, the lone army chased Dong thief, and finally returned defeated, scolding Yuan Shao's Cao Cao who was "not enough to erect and scheming".

That was the beginning of Cao Cao's blackening.

From that moment on...

The ignorant young man who once aspired to become the "general of the Han Dynasty", the man who once held a sword and intended to slaughter the evil dragons in the world, and Kuang Fu is no longer the right man.

Now he's...

The dragon slayer boy has become an evil dragon after all!

So...

No matter how you look at it, Guan Lin is sure that Cao Cao will never go south... Even if his head twitches and he really goes south, he will soon wake up and stop the precipice.

He Cao Cao still has big things to do, Shu Dao... He can't afford it!

"Hehe..."

Thinking of this, Guan Lin laughed lightly, and said lightly: "The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and if you have Long, you will look back at Shuhu?" ”

"Your tone looks like a teenager, but like an old man who sees through everything." Zhuge Jin stroked his beard, but soon, he came back to his senses: "The fourth prince means... Cao Cao won't be greedy for Bashu? This... Impossible, right? ”

"Everyone will be greedy, if Cao Cao is as old as Wu Hou, he will definitely go south to Shu, but now... Huh..."

Guan Lin smiled lightly: "Any person, in the last few years of his life, will choose to be safe and choose to stabilize the inside, and Cao Cao, who has fought all his life, is no exception, this is not... Wei Shizi hasn't decided yet! ”

"You mean..."

Zhuge Jin just made a start, Guan Lin's words interrupted him again, he asked Zhuge Jin, "Mr. Ziyu, the younger generation dares to ask you, if you are Cao Cao, nominally serving the princes of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, nominally fighting for the Han Dynasty for a lifetime, fighting for a lifetime, acting for a lifetime, and suffering for a lifetime, this person is sixty, the year of Jiazi... Are you going to do it again? Wouldn't you be thinking about changing the name of the Han's 'house book'? ”

Zhuge Jin was stunned, "Fang Ben'er? What is the house book and what is the name of the house book? ”

Guan Lin didn't explain, but he pondered in his heart.

- "Lao Cao is not easy, after working all his life, the last few formalities of this Han family's house book must be completed!"

- "The successor of this Cao Wei must be decided, right?"

- "The contradictions between the clan and the clan within the clan, the rebellion of the clan, this series of problems must be settled, right?"

Guan Lin blinked...

Thinking of this, he felt that Cao Cao's head was big.

A mine has a mine of troubles;

Nine mines also have nine mines!

Just as Guan Lin thought.

said that Lao Cao's 'vested Long, looking back at Shuhu' pattern is shallow, and that pattern is really shallow.

Liu Bei has struggled all his life, and he can still take a break halfway, while "continuing to play music and dance", and at the same time take time to jump!

Lao Cao struggled all his life, and before he died, he handled the transfer procedures of the Han house... And then the descendants will change the name at any time, which doesn't seem too much, right?

Based on this...

- South Ba Shu! Go south to hammer Bashu!

Guan Lin admitted that he had an element of gambling in this matter.

But Lao Cao's pattern, whatever, is bigger than that of Bashu in the south!

Guan Lin was pursed, pondering about this.

But I saw a few awning boats from far and near... The armor on the clipper shouted.

"Ziyu, the Metropolitan Governor is here!" It was Lu Meng who shouted.

Lu Su is coming...

It was Lu Meng who personally sent him.
