Chapter 654 Life is rare for seventy years, trees die, and people live

"God of War" -

When Li Cong told Cao Cao everything about "God of War".

Including Ma Yan's mouth, how is this "God of War" amazing? How to be generous on the battlefield of Samba? How to anticipate the enemy first, step by step to count Zhang He's plan to death? How to turn the tide on the battlefield?

It is no exaggeration to say that what Li Lian showed Cao Cao was how Guan Lin lived in Jingzhou, but he was strategizing in Bashu, which was thousands of miles away, how to accurately judge every action of Cao Jun, and then formulate the corresponding conspiracy and trajectory!

You must know that the last one to achieve this level was the founder of the Han Dynasty - Zhang Liang!

Terrible!

It's horrible—

Every action, every detail, in Cao Cao's ears, in addition to the deep shock, the only thing left was two words terrible.

"Whew... Whew..."

And as Li Cong's narration deepened, Cao Cao couldn't help but gasp.

With a "coo" sound, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva deeply, and Cao Cao's expression was never as ugly as today.

Even, he opened his mouth, but he still couldn't utter a word because of great surprise.

What he muttered countless times in his heart was.

Terrible!

If it is really as Li Cong said, if everything that Ma Tan told is true, if this "God of War" really exists, then Guan Lin really has the ability to predict the future and anticipate the enemy.

That...

It's horrible—

It was so terrible that he Cao Cao wanted to re-examine this opponent.

Is this still human? Is Guan Lin a human?

This is on the periphery, but the prediction and deduction of the current situation in the air, this already has a bit of a demonic taste.

Finally, after a long period of silence, Cao Cao spoke: "Hannan? What you say is true? ”

One word at a time, Cao Cao's tone carried a lot of gloom.

There wasn't a moment when he looked forward to it like he was now... Expecting what others say is false is nonsense.

It's just that Cao Cao's expectations are destined to be disappointed.

"It's still what the minister just said, if the king doesn't believe it, you can go to check..."Yun Farewell Biography" was later handed over to Zhao Yun by Guan Lin, and there may not be many people in the Shu army who know about it, but "God of War" helped Zhang Fei succeed in one fell swoop, but it is not difficult to deliberately investigate and find out the clues about this "God of War", and it is not difficult to find out the origin of this matter——"

With Li Li's words, although Cao Cao's expectations were disappointed.

But... He still had a heavy jaw on his head, as if he had suddenly realized a lot.

"This "God of War" will be checked by Lone, but even if he just hears it, Lone believes it! What does that look like? Isn't the lonely club familiar? A brave and unscrupulous man, how can he defeat Zhang He? How can you recover Sanba, and how can you bring the entire tribe of the people to Bashu? At that time, I felt that this thing was strange, and there were clouds of suspicion, and today... However, the "God of War" mentioned by Hannan can be regarded as an answer to all the doubts of Lone! ”

Oh, yes... All doubts about the war have been resolved.

Cao Cao has found all the answers.

The rest is just a question about Guan Lin's ghost-like ability to predict, in fact, there is no doubt, a guy who can create an air force in Dahan, he is originally full of many magical colors, what kind of behavior he makes, it's not strange!

"Let's talk about "Farewell to the Cloud"..."

Cao Cao's tiger eyes tightened, and he spoke again.

It's just that Li Cong didn't know anything about the question of "The Legend of Yun Farewell", he could only shake his head, and then said: "The king wants to ask "The Legend of Yun Farewell", I'm afraid he has to ask Ma Jian in prison. ”

Not...

Cao Cao's eyes were cold, and he subconsciously groaned in his mouth. "Then the youngest son of the Xiangyang Ma family, Ma Tan Ma Youchang, is it?"

Speaking of which, in the past two years, whether it is against Bashu or Jingzhou, Great Wei has not won a few battles at all.

This also shows that the battle of Nading Junshan to defeat Liu Feng and Ma Jian is precious.

Therefore, Cao Cao was quite impressed by this horse.

Even when you escape from Luoyang, don't forget to be this captive!

In fact, with Ma Jian in particular, Cao Cao still has an idea.

Ma Tan has lived in Shu for a long time, and he is Zhuge Liang's disciple and staff officer, if he can persuade him to surrender, then... It is tantamount to being able to obtain a lot of intelligence in Shuzhong, which is even more precious for breaking the situation against Wei now!

Like what... The "God of War" and "Farewell to the Cloud" that came out of his mouth were unexpected joys.

It's just that...

There is also a huge question in Cao Cao's mind, he is a suspicious person, if he doesn't understand this, he will definitely not be able to trust Ma Yan.

"That Ma Tan Ma is young, Lone remembers that Lone once persuaded him to surrender, but he rejected him, Hannan? What method did you use to make this horse obedient? ”

Hanzhong, Yangping Pass.

The night was getting darker, but Jia Xu's military tent was brightly lit.

Under the illumination of the dim light, Jia Xu's figure seemed so hesitant and hesitant.

From time to time he paced back and forth in the tent, as if on his mind, and occasionally he would pick up a book in an attempt to calm him down with the help of words.

But often... In the end, it backfired.

Jia Xu is seventy years old this year, and in addition to the blazing eyes on one face, both the cheeks and the thousands of ravines look tired and exhausted.

What he's going through right now...

reminds him of the decades he has experienced, the scenes he has experienced, he has been high-spirited, he has pointed out the country, he has said something bad to the world, he has been thrilling, and he has been in danger.

That scene flashed before his eyes like a passing cloud.

Finally, Jia Xu's footsteps paused, and he muttered.

"Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Duan Xuan, Zhang Xiu, Cao Mengde... Five, already five..."

These are the five masters he has served in his life...

When he was under Dong Zhuo, he was inconspicuous and leaky;

When he was under Li Dao, the upright Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, Wang Yun coerced tightly, did not allow the Xiliang soldiers to surrender, and his fate hung by a thread, he broke the situation and helped Li Dao defeat Lu Bu and take Chang'an;

He was highly respected when he was under Duan Xuan.

He was regarded as the mastermind when he was under Zhang Xiu, defeated Cao Cao several times, and single-handedly planned the famous historical event of Cao Cao's "one shot to kill the three sages".

When he was under Cao Cao, although he was not lightly scheming, he also strongly persuaded Cao Cao not to go south before the Battle of Chibi, and offered a divisive plan when conquering Xiliang.

His life is wonderful and surging.

At the age of seventy, he should not have fought on this battlefield again, but the situation is turbulent, if he wants to keep his glory and the exploits he has made in Cao Wei for half of his life, he has no other way to choose than to go out of the mountain again and set foot on this killing field again?

No...

Keep the glory, protect the lintel... Actually, there is another way!

Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Duan Xuan, Jia Xu, Cao Mengde... He already has five masters, he Jia Xu has always been pragmatic and doesn't value honor, why can't he have another master?

It seems to be because of the thought of this.

Jia Xu's eyes became extraordinarily profound...

Like, because of the confusing situation... The clouds have gradually cleared.

The elusive answer is becoming clearer and clearer...

At this moment, Jia Xu's eyebrows frowned slightly, revealing a bit of solemnity.

"Life is rare for seventy years... At this age, is your ass still moving? ”

"Life is scarce for seventy years, trees die, people live... Should... That's right? ”

Such a feeling has just been groaned...

"Mr. Jia... Visiting late at night, very presumptuous..."

With a slight sound, there was a soft knock on the door of the study at the same time.

"The voice? It's the young general of King Wei's heavy weapon-Jiang Wei!"

Jia Xu sighed in his heart.

Then he cleaned up his mood, squinted his eyes, and smiled and said to the door: "Since it is Jiang Xiaoyou, then come in..."

With Jia Xu's voice.

Jiang Wei pushed the door in, his eyes were a little red and swollen, as if he had just cried, but his eyes were full of longing, like a desire to care about something to the extreme.

Jia Xu understands this desire too well!

It's nothing else, it's hatred.

- Father's hatred and family hatred.

At this time, Jiang Wei bowed deeply to Jia Xu, with infinite respect in his voice: "Mr. Jia, the junior Jiang Wei has been coming to Yangpingguan for a while, and he was deeply impressed by Mr. Jia's calculations. ”

The tone is resolute, and the words are sincere——

It was at this moment that a sharp light flashed in Jia Xu's eyes... Obviously, Jiang Wei's intention, Jiang Wei's words, he completely understood it in an instant.

Frankly speaking, Jia Xu has also secretly observed Jiang Wei, a young general, with a delicate mind and a flexible mind, speaking of which, he is a good candidate to inherit the mantle.

What's more, Jia Xu's son Jia Mu... It's not very good, and my head isn't very bright.

At Jia Xu's age, how could he not desire to have a person who inherits his skills? And this inheritor, Jiang Wei is the best choice in terms of character, talent, and wit.

But the problem lies in the timing of Jiang Wei's apprenticeship, and... The purpose of his apprenticeship.

Jia Xu didn't say it thoroughly, he squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you the young talent that King Wei values?" Why do you want to apprentice under my disciples..."

"Father's hatred and family's hatred—"

Jiang Wei did not shy away from his purpose at all, "I heard that when Mr. was young, he once made a mess of the world, opened the era of competition among the heroes, and also harmed the three sages, so that the shrewd King Wei also suffered a big loss under Mr.'s strategy... I... I'm Jiang Wei..."

Speaking of the back, Jiang Wei's tone stumbled slightly, but he only stumbled for a moment, and his tone became firmer: "That Guan family rebelled against my father and burned my father to death in Beibi Mountain, I Jiang Wei and he don't share the sky, different from the sun and the moon, but I know... With my strength, even Jade Burning is no match for Guan Lin, so... Therefore, I implore my husband to take me as a disciple and pass on my ghost conspiracy method, I don't seek fame and fortune, nor do I aspire to worship the king in the Great Wei, as long as I can kill that Guan Lin... Even if the jade is burned and dies together, I... I, Jiang Wei, will not hesitate! ”

Sonic boom roof tiles, deafening!

Jiang Wei's words made Jia Xu couldn't help but be surprised for a moment.

What he felt was an extreme avenger -

This is no longer about the Han and Wei hegemony, but pure revenge, the ultimate revenge.

Can... It is precisely because of this that Jia Xu can't agree to Jiang Wei.

Yes, Jia Xu never cared about the paternal hatred between Jiang Wei and Guan Lin, but he knew in his heart that if he accepted Jiang Wei as a disciple, it would mean that he would also be involved in this complicated grievance entanglement.

Jia Xu knows too well what it means to protect himself, and he will never make the choice to cut off his retreat.

"Boyo, I have taken your sincerity..."

Jia Xu's eyes narrowed, staring at the avenger kneeling on the ground in front of him, "But, I have my considerations, this matter, with all due respect, I can't agree!" ”

When Jiang Wei heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and his teeth couldn't help but close.

After pondering for a moment, he still mustered up the courage to ask, "Mr. Jia, even do you think... Will Da Wei lose to the rebel son of the Guan family? ”

This...

Jiang Wei's sudden question made Jia Xu's eyes widen.

At this moment, a voice came from outside, it was Xiahou Yuan who sent someone to summon Jia Xu.

Jia Xu simply no longer answered Jiang Wei, but tidied up his robe and walked out of the big tent slowly.

Leaving Jiang Wei to kneel in this big tent alone.

Looking at the back of Jia Xu's departure, for a while, Jiang Wei couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart... He clenched his fists fiercely, hatefully, word by word.

"Damn, damn—"

I don't know why... Jiang Yi was originally a frontier martial artist, with a strong body and a good foundation, or Zhang Zhongjing's wonderful hands to rejuvenate, and the drugs of the Jingzhou Official Medical Department were extremely effective.

In short, Jiang Yu recovered quickly, but in just half a month, he went from being dying to now... Able to move freely and walk on the ground.

As for him, he is not restricted from freedom at all in this Luoyang City, he can walk freely, as long as he does not go out of the city, everything is up to him...

Even, every day's meals and daily salaries will be placed in his house and he will spend them at his disposal.

For more than ten days, he was embarrassed... After all, he was a warrior from the border, but he was cared for like this day by day, and his heart became soft from the original hard as iron and stone.

"That's the fourth... And really do what you say—"

A sigh of emotion...

What Jiang Yu thought of was that although Guan Lin was young... But undoubtedly, words count.

In the past, he mentioned it in the medical department when he faced Fu Shiren's doubts.

- "Knowing that he once garrisoned the border of my Great Han, and had rushed back and forth countless times to kill the Shura field over there, and knowing that his hands were stained with too much blood of Qiang Hu, don't say that he is just a general who rebels against Wei! Even if Cao Cao can do this, one day, when he falls into my hands, I will treat him with courtesy and respect him as a man!"

These words... To this day, it is still deafening!

"Ugh..."

A faint sigh...

Jiang Yan looked at the delicious meal at the bedside, and looked at the five baht money that couldn't be spent...

His mood became more and more overwhelming.

- "With such a magical son, it's no wonder that King Wei is not his opponent!"

Sitting up from the bed, Jiang Yu began another day of recuperation.

The doctor came to diagnose it, then boiled some medicine, and then the time was to go around the city to see the familiarity... and the strange brand new Luoyang City.

Then again... Today's Luoyang City can be described as a new atmosphere.

For some reason, the whole city was full of joy and auspiciousness, and there were signs of peace, just like the New Year.

Having said that, it's May, and the New Year has long passed... Jiang Yan really didn't understand.

Why are these people so happy?

Every time Jiang Yi walks on the street, there are always such questions from time to time, and this time is no exception...

That's exactly what happened.

"Wow! Wow wow wow......"

With the cry of a baby, in front of an ordinary house, a man shouted happily: "Born, born, a girl... It's a girl, yes, yes..."

The man seemed to be overjoyed by his daughter, dancing and sharing his joy with his neighbors.

That's when ...

"Wow, wow, wow..." was another girl's cry, and the tone was louder than the one just now.

"You silly boy, there are two more! It's triplets, and they're all girls..."

It was the man's mother who spoke, and she hurried out of the delivery room to tell her son the news...

But Jiang Yi, when he heard "three", his heart rang violently.

And when he heard "It's all a girl", his pupils couldn't help but widen, and he looked at the man with some worry.

It's like... Even if this is just a strange man and a strange family, Jiang Yan still sweats for him.

You know, one child gave birth to three girls... In this day and age, it is an extremely terrible thing.

It's not that it's dangerous to give birth, but for ordinary families, raising three girls... It will be a huge expense, and more importantly, the girl grows up... It can't be labor, it can't farm, it can't bring income to the family, the only thing to look forward to... It's the dowry when my daughter was raised and married!

Of course, the dowry is out of reach for Jiang Yu in the borderlands... Because in the border, Qianghu from time to time Koubian, the scene of ten rooms and nine empty scenes happens from time to time, and it is a luxury for a male baby to grow up, let alone a female baby...

"Ugh..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but let out a long breath, sweating for this man and this family that didn't seem to be rich.

Can... The performance of the man who was happy with the three girls was completely different from his imagination.

"Three, all of them are female babies..."The man exclaimed in surprise, and danced again, he jumped three feet high excitedly, "Female babies are good, they are all female babies, okay... Okay..."

This act, this word... Why is this man so happy?

Jiang Yan looked confused!

- "Giving birth to a girl? Are you so happy?'

- "If we give birth to a girl in Tianshui, it means a heavy oral endowment, arithmetic endowment... Even if you give birth to one, you will have to be troubled for several days.'"

Jiang was puzzled... But it can be seen with the naked eye that this man's joy and excitement don't look like he is pretending at all.

At this time, beside Jiang Yi, there was a neighbor who had the man and sighed: "My daughter is good, my daughter is intimate... When I grow up, I can go to work as a female worker in a factory again... You don't necessarily earn less than men! Hello daughter..."

What?

Factory? Women? Doesn't you necessarily earn less than a boy?

Jiang Yu was completely stunned...

He felt like a countryman going into the city, and he couldn't understand what these people were saying.

At this time, the man who was happy with the three daughters had already jumped into the room to see his daughter and his wife...

But Jiang is embarrassed... The curiosity in my heart was about to overflow.

He couldn't help but ask the neighbor, "This brother, dare to ask, in Luoyang City... Are you so happy and excited to give birth to a girl? And also... What are the factories and female workers that Brother Tai just said? ”

Two questions in a row...

The neighbor raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yu, and listened to his accent from out of town, so... Patiently explained to him, "Not really... I was so happy and excited when I gave birth to a girl, didn't you see... Since the father and son of the Guan family laid down this Luoyang City, in the past few months, Luoyang City has been lit up everywhere as if it was the New Year! ”

This is another question from Jiang Yu...

Don't? What else is there in between?

Just when Jiang Yan became more and more confused...

The neighbor's words completely answered all the mazes in his heart, "Have you ever heard of paving into acres?" Haha, it was Yunqi Gongzi who mentioned it to Zhuge Junshi and Uncle Liu Huang, and then all the territory of Uncle Liu Huang... A government decree that has been implemented in its entirety! ”

"Specifically, it is to exempt all poll taxes, and to levy taxes according to the acres of land. I was worried that I would get poorer and poorer, and I couldn't afford to pay the poll tax, but now it's different, there is no land... No matter how many girls are born, they don't have to pay taxes, but Jingzhou's Shuishui Villa also opened factories in Luoyang, textile, silk, animal husbandry, handicraft... Many of these are inseparable from female workers, and it is not a secret that because the number of female workers is small... On the contrary, the monthly income is on par with that of male workers! ”

"In addition, the benevolent government implemented under Uncle Liu's rule, so counted, the female baby... Giving birth to one is also a life, giving birth to a pair is also a life, no need to pay taxes, adding chopsticks, you can always raise it, and you can also raise it to make money as a female worker... So, now the wind has changed, and both boys and girls are happy, all the same..."
