Wudu County, Xiafen City, the lobby of the government office.

"Hahahaha..."

From afar, you can hear Cao Hong laughing heartily, laughing while shouting: "Play music, play music..."

Today's Cao Hong specially invited a group of civil and military personnel to enjoy the song and dance.

There are attendants who put more than 20 drums on the ground of the lobby of the official office, and then, the soft music begins to play slowly, there are graceful women, wearing thin white shirts, green silk and ink dyeing, colorful fans elegant... Just like a fairy stepping on the drum.

Most of these women are women of the Di tribe, the men of the Di tribe are good at fighting, and the women are good at dancing. Wearing this green silk white shirt, the body is looming, and the moist... It's as if you're coming out of a dream, and you're out of the water when you pinch it.

"Good, good... Well..."

Cao Hong couldn't help but applaud.

Among the officials on the left and right bamboo mats, there are "Lei Ding", the leader of the Wudu Di tribe, and "Qiang Duan", the leader of the Yinping Di tribe, and the strong end is to see with relish, but although Lei Ding's eyes are also looking at this song and dance, his eyes are fluttering, as if he is thoughtful.

In addition to these indigenous leaders, there is also the deputy general Zhao Ang, and Zhao Ang's wife Wang Yi is also there.

Speaking of which, next to Cao Hong's seat, there are two vacant seats, one of which is the seat specially reserved for Cao Xiu by Cao Hong, but now Cao Xiu has not yet arrived here.

The other is reserved for this Wudu to guard Yang Fu's seat, but... wanted to let it, but Yang Fu didn't come to enjoy it.

At this time, the unique musical instruments of the Di nationality emitted more and more passionate movements.

The scale of the singing and dancing of the Di women is larger, sometimes lightly Shu Yun's hands, the fan in the hand is closed and held, like a pen walking in the dragon painting Danqing, the jade sleeves are windy, turning, throwing, opening, closing, twisting, rounding, bending, a series of movements, the body looming display.

Flowing water is like a dragon flying, like a phoenix dancing.

… Especially those eyes, Cao Honggou was fascinated.

With this song and dance, the sound of the instrument changes again, becoming... It's a little colder.

The singer's movements are even bigger...

Wang Yi bit her lip, she approached her husband Zhao Ang, and groaned.

"Is this our general?"

"Alas..."Zhao Ang sighed and whispered: "The prime minister sent a letter, saying that the young general of the clan, Cao Xiu, led the troops to help, and the prime minister's meaning is to guard the city to listen to General Cao Xiu, and General Cao Hong is just a handsome!" ”

Zhao Ang's words eased Wang Yi's mood a little...

She is a chaste woman, when Ma Chao took advantage of Cao Cao's southward rebellion, most of the land of Longyou fell, and the situation was dangerous.

Yang Fu, who was the assassin of Liangzhou at the time, united his brothers to fight against Ma Chao, and also lobbied Zhao Ang, who was the Qiang Daoling at that time.

Zhao Ang had no idea for a while because his son was still in Ma Chao's hands, and it was Wang Yi's words that woke up Zhao Ang, she said: "Loyalty and righteousness stand in the body, the great shame of the Snow Monarch's father, the loss of Yuan is not enough, what about a son?" ”

It means that for the sake of justice, we don't want this kid!

It was precisely because of Wang Yi's words that Zhao Ang strengthened his determination to resist Ma Chao, and their husband and wife killed Ma Chao's wife and children together with Yang Fu, and held the Qishan Danger, until Cao Cao's reinforcements arrived more than thirty days later.

made great contributions to Cao Cao's defeat of Ma Chao.

During this period, Wang Yi made nine surprising strategies for Zhao Ang, and his contribution was indispensable.

Therefore, Cao Cao made an exception to allow Wang Yi to participate in the discussion of military aircraft, and even let the titular female military division!

It can be said that for the sake of Cao Wei, Wang Yi lost his children and had no hesitation, but now... Because of Cao Hong's "drunken gold fan", because of what she thought of, the Central Plains... Is it also such a drunken gold fan, for a while, she was shaken.

She suddenly discovered that the Central Plains, which they were guarding regardless of life and death, the people there, and the life there was so erosive.

Of course, not all of Cao Weizhong's generals are like Cao Hong, Xiahou is honest and honest, Cao Ren abides by the law, Xiahou Yuan values righteousness and neglects life, but Cao Hong has a dissolute personality, is unable to measure, and is greedy for money... Also!

Do things by unscrupulous means!

It's just that such a person is actually a general!

How did Wang Yi know, if it wasn't for Cao Hong's rescue of Cao Cao several times, how could he have his current identity?

It is impossible to reach such a height that does not belong to him.

Compared with a general, he is more suitable to be a rich man and a rich man.

"Wait... I heard that the new young general Cao Xiu, Cao Cheng called him a thousand miles of horses, and he was a rare handsome talent in the Cao Wei clan, maybe after he came, everything would change. ”

It seemed that seeing that his wife's face was still not good-looking, Zhao Ang continued to persuade in a low voice.

"Alas..."Looking at the dancing girls and singers who serve like cicada wings on the drum... Wang Yi could only sigh faintly.

She said secretly in her heart:

- "Is this the Cao Wei that my husband and I guarded? Because it... Is it worth it to lose a child? Is it worth it?'

Heartfelt questions kept chanting, constantly knocking on Wang Yi's heart.

That's when ...

The door was pushed open with a bang, but I saw a low-pitched literati dressed in a green Confucian robe and a Confucian crown, but he was furious...

"Get out, get down—"

At the words of this literati, the dancing girls were startled, and some of them actually stumbled and fell off the drum, and fell hard.

Cao Hong also narrowed his eyes, but he could see the person clearly, "Hahahaha..." he laughed, "Who provoked Brother Yishan (Yang Fu)?" ”

Today's Yang Fu serves as the assassin of Yizhou and the Taishou of Wudu, and his identity is here, even a clan general like Cao Hong is quite polite to him.

But he heard this Yang Fuyi's righteous words and said to Cao Hong: "Now that Sanba has been lost, Zitong has fallen, and the thief army will go north at any time... At this moment, General Cao is still interested in doing such a thing? Besides, there is a difference between men and women, this is a big festival of the country, how can a woman be allowed to expose her body in front of the public! Even the defeat of Xia Wei and Shang is not as good as this. ”

When a sentence falls, it can be described as "splitting the head and covering the face"...

After saying that, Yang Fu was especially angry, and walked in front of Cao Hong angrily, overturning the wine bottle and wine jug on his table to the ground.

Cao Hong was shocked at first, but because of the identity of the other party and the prestige of the other party's army, Cao Hong could only smile and say: "It's this general who is abrupt, come and come..."

Cao Hong took Yang Fu's hand and led him to sit on the bamboo mat, "This is not... The enemy hasn't attacked yet? Besides... Isn't my 'Thousand Miles of Horses' already on the way? I, Cao Hong, it's okay to press you down, but I really want to fight... A few pounds and a few taels, I can still carry it, this battle... I have to rely on you! ”

Cao Hong is greedy for money and profit, but there is one thing, he is quite self-aware, he can still carry a few pounds and a few taels, he will not compete with other generals for power.

Of course... If you are profitable, you have to fight for a little.

And also... Face!

This thing, Cao Hongsu looked at it very seriously... Those who are familiar with him will know that Cao Hong has already held a grudge against this Yang Fu!

"Hahahaha..."

Cao Hong was still laughing, his words, his softness also made Yang Fu's anger a little, Cao Hong hurriedly beckoned these dancing girls to retreat, and ordered someone to remove the big drum on this side, and then said: "Okay, okay, don't let you see the beauties, then let's get down to business... Yishan, you are too guarded, how is the grain and grass raised here in Wudu County? ”

Got down to business, which makes... The faces of everyone in the room became serious.

As for the issue of grain and grass, he mentioned the issue of grain and grass, it was an order sent by Xiahou Yuan in Hanzhong, there were too many soldiers in Hanzhong, and there were a large number of disciples of the Wudoumi Sect, and the food was already stretched.

And the transportation of grain in the Central Plains, a long journey ... Far water can't quench the thirst of the near.

So, Xiahou Yuan ordered Wudu County to raise 300,000 stone of grain no matter what, otherwise... Hanzhong, no fight and chaos!

Of course, Cao Hong's temperament will not suffer, he asked Yang Fu for 400,000 grains.

After a hand, he Cao Hong himself collected an extra 100,000 grains, which is not too much at all!

And with the news of the food raising, the whole here... Everyone's faces became gloomy.

At this moment, Cao Hong, who was originally smiling, the smile on his face was gone, and he looked around at everyone around him... Fang Cai's kind face also became cold.

"Isn't Yang Taishou quite loud? Right now... Why are you dumb? ”

Cao Hong's eyes narrowed, "A county raises 400,000 grains? Not excessive, right? This is life-saving food, let you raise it? Yes... Not excessive, right? ”

At the end, the words "not too much", Cao Hong suddenly raised his tone.

Yang Fu condensed his eyebrows and sighed: "General Cao also knows that in order to supply the prime minister to conquer Hanzhong, the grain depots in Longyou and Guanxi have been empty, and the Xiangfan battlefield has been conscripted on a large scale, and the grain from the Central Plains is even more supplied to that side. Where did you get so much food? ”

"Oh...," Cao Hong's eyes curved into a crescent moon, "what do you mean?" More than 100,000 Wei soldiers in Hanzhong? Should you just wait alive and starve to death? ”

"I..."

Without waiting for Yang Fu to open his mouth, Cao Hong shook his arm, "If you can't raise food, then there is the easiest way..."

"What?" Yang Fu asked.

Cao Hong's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he chanted an extremely cold word fiercely.

"-Rob!"

He continued to add: "Every household has a specified number, and if anyone doesn't hand over this number, then rob it, General Ben wants to see who hasn't stocked up on grain?" ”

"But..."Yang Fu hurriedly said.

Before speaking, he didn't forget to glance at the two Di leaders, "These people of the Di tribe... Previously..."

His words began, but they came to an abrupt end.

He wanted to say... When the prime minister conquered Hanzhong, he had already plundered... No, it's the slaughter of the Di tribe once.

It was in the "Hechi City", and Dou Mao, the king of Di, led more than 10,000 people to defend the danger, and was slaughtered by the Cao army after the defeat.

The food in their homes, the women... All of them were looted, this is Cao Cao's latest "slaughter of the city", and it is also the first time that such an indiscriminate "river of blood" has flowed in this desolate place!

Of course, there are many branches of the Di tribe, and the Hechi Di tribe is only one of them.

can be the same Di people, but Yang Fu didn't dare to say this in front of King Wu Du Di and King Yin Ping... It's bloody, it's brutal.

Cao Hong understood what he meant, and he turned his head to look at the two kings, "You don't want our soldiers of Great Wei to starve to death in Hanzhong, do you?" Ha ha... I borrowed this grain from the local Di people, and when I pacified Bashu, I will return it to you with interest? How is it? ”

Yin Ping Di King "Qiangduan" hurriedly surrendered, "It is an honor for my generation to contribute to Dawei!" ”

Wudu Di King "Lei Ding" showed a little embarrassment, "Years of war, my tribe... Even... Can't raise this food? ”

"If you can't raise it, then let Yang Taishou help you raise it."

"Yang Taishou can't raise it, so let General Ben help you raise it!" Cao Hong was very polite, leaving such a sentence, he flicked his long sleeves, and he was already gone!

Only inside the house, a group of people looked at each other.

Yang Fu "sigh", he flicked his sleeves in frustration, and then stomped his feet helplessly

The two kings left together, and they could not see their joy and anger clearly.

Wang Yi bit her lip again, she sat next to Zhao Ang, and muttered in a low voice:

"I slaughtered the city last year, and this year... Are you going to plunder again? ”

"Shhhh It's going to lose its head! ”

Wang Yi's face sank into the water, and she couldn't stop muttering in her heart:

- "This... Is that the Great Wei that my husband and I are guarding?"

- "At the beginning, I advised my husband that loyalty is the foundation of life, and it is not important to sacrifice yourself, let alone just a son? Hehe... Now it seems...'

——『… It's ironic!'

…

…

Axes, hooks, forks, swords, guns, swords, halberds.

It is hard to imagine that in the inner courtyard of General Zuo's Mansion in Chengdu, there are more than 100 female guards in the small courtyard of a few entrances and exits.

Most of them are armed with long swords, and some use special weapons.

Even the four corners of the courtyard are built with hope towers, and there are female soldiers on the watchtower looking around vigilantly.

These are Sun Shangxiang's female soldiers.

Speaking of which, there is also a door in the inner courtyard of General Zuo's Mansion, which can lead directly to the street, so... Sun Shangxiang and her female soldiers rarely walked through the main gate of General Zuo's Mansion.

In this way, Liu Bei was naturally avoided.

Even, throughout the year, the days when Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei met were numbered.

The two of them tacitly maintained the "political marriage" of "no feelings" under the Sun-Liu alliance...

At this moment, Sun Shangxiang walked into the mansion from outside the door, and when a group of female soldiers saw her, they knelt on one knee one after another, moving neatly, but they didn't say a word.

Sun Shangxiang returned from a tour of the mountains and rivers, saying that she was a tour of the mountains and rivers, and she was to draw a map of Bashu.

The smile that was pretending to be casual, carefree, and comfortable gradually converged because of returning to the mansion, and his expression became fierce and solemn.

She strode into a heavily guarded chamber.

The female soldier at the door hurriedly presented three bamboo slips on the table.

Sun Shangxiang was not in a hurry to look, and asked first: "How is Adou?" ”

A sword-wielding maid replied: "Jingxiao has almost hooked Adou's soul away, and now once Adou has his leisure, he will sneak out of General Zuo's Mansion and go to Li's Mansion to find Jingxiao... Singing and dancing together, painting together, having fun together... It's a childhood sweetheart. ”

Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang bowed slightly, but shook her head again, "Jingxiao is my most outstanding 'female Ai' in Eastern Wu, and she originally planned to control Li Yan as her adopted daughter, but she never thought ... became Adou's playmate... It's good... Tell Jingxiao to let her mention Mrs. Ben more to Adou, so that Adou can realize that Mrs. Ben is his mother-in-law, the closest person to him, the closest person to him..."

Sun Shangxiang has her own plan.

Liu Bei is no longer young, but she is still young.

Since she came to Bashu, she Sun Shangxiang always has to do something for Dongwu.

Considering that Adou is not smart and has a simple heart, if... Can through him, further influence... Even if Bashu is controlled, it will be beneficial to Dongwu without any harm.

Whispering such a sentence, Sun Shangxiang reined in her thoughts, she glanced at the sword-wielding maid, and the maid commanded:

"Concerts..."

Immediately, the first female soldier reported: "The maid of the Three Generals' Mansion sent a message back, saying that the Three Generals were about to go north to crusade against Xiafen City, which seems to have been instructed by Uncle Liu Huang." ”

This piece of information that has little to do with Sun Shangxiang, she just waved her hand lightly and passed...

Even the bamboo slips with specific contents, Sun Shangxiang only looked at one line and threw them aside.

"Next..."

The second female soldier reported: "There is news from the concubine in Fazheng's mansion, saying that Uncle Liu Huang is discussing with Fazheng and plans to send Adou to Jingzhou..."

Sun Shangxiang, who was originally squinting, suddenly widened her eyes when she heard this piece of information, and she took out the bamboo slip of this information with her hand and quickly unfolded it.

She looked at the bamboo slips and commanded, "You go on..."

The female soldier said truthfully: "It seems that Guan Lin wrote a military book called "God of War", and the three generals commanded the troops and planned a thousand miles after reading it, which attracted the attention of Uncle Liu Huang and decided to send A Dou Gongzi to Guan Lin's side and let Guan Lin teach him!" ”

This...

Sun Shangxiang's eyes couldn't help but roll, which was a little different from her plan.

If you go to Jingzhou, I'm afraid of Adou... It's hard to control.

Sun Shangxiang felt that this matter needed to be considered carefully.

"Go on," she ordered, putting the matter aside for now.

At this time, the third female soldier walked out and carefully took out a letter from her bosom.

Sun Shangxiang raised her eyes and noticed the female soldier, "You are... My second brother's handmaiden, right? ”

The female soldier bowed her head, "Yes... I was originally in charge of protecting the wife of the foot trainer and the two county lords of Dahu and Xiaohu in Jiangdong, but this time I was specially appointed by the lord to send a letter to the governor of the 'Relief Camp'! ”

- Governor of the Camp of Relief!

The appearance of this title made Sun Shangxiang stunned, her spirit was also lifted, and her eyes couldn't help but widen a lot.

"The second brother also told you about the trouble-solving camp?"

Listening to Sun Shangxiang's inquiry, the female soldier replied in a low voice: "Cao Wei, Bashu, and Dongwu all have their own spy organizations, and Cao Wei is the 'Jinzuo Cao' subordinate to the school office, which was in charge of Guo Jia in the past, and no longer has a special person in charge;"

"Bashu's original was Pang Tong's 'Military Division', and after Pang Tong died in Luofengpo, Liu Bei handed over the 'Military Division' to Fa Zheng!"

"As for... Dongwu is the 'Trouble-Relief Battalion', and the governor of the Camp is particularly vacant now, and the Camp is temporarily under the command of General Zhu Ran, but few people know that the vacant governor is Mrs. Sun! ”

Because of the words of this female soldier, Sun Shangxiang retreated from everyone, she deliberately dimmed the lights in the house, and it seemed that because of caution, she simply blew out the oil lamp.

Only a faint candle flame remained.

It wasn't until this moment that Sun Shangxiang opened his mouth slowly, seriously: "Okay, you can tell me now, what did my second brother send you here to tell me——"

The female soldier also looked around cautiously.

Seeing that the doors and windows were locked, and there was no light, she lowered her voice.

"The lord plans to tear up the Sun-Liu alliance and make a surprise attack on Jingzhou, and the lady should look for an opportunity to return to Soochow with Adou... The lord said that it was time for the governor of the Dongwu Liberation Camp to return to his position! The lord also asked... Does Madame remember the oath that Madame mentioned in front of him before the Battle of Chibi? Today's Soochow... It's time for survival again! ”

Oath...

Sun Shangxiang was suddenly dumbfounded, she subconsciously thought of the slogan she shouted in front of Sun Quan before the Battle of Chibi.

——The children of the Sun family, they would rather die than surrender, they are willing to die on the battlefield and not die in the hotbed!

That's because... The battle of Chibi is already a critical matter for the survival of Jiangdong...

- "What do you mean by second brother?"

- "Is it time for Koto to survive again?"

…
