Chapter 17: A deep loss
Chapter 17: A Deep Loss (Free of Charge)
The fighting had stopped, and there was a shout outside: "Yan Gongcao has arrived!" Then Zhao Zheng led two guards back, one of the guards had been killed in battle, and Zhao Zheng and the three were also injured in many places, but fortunately there was no major problem.
Outside, the soldiers and horses lined up in two columns, and one person approached in the middle and shouted: "Take them all, dare to sneak attack Liu Gongzi in broad daylight, this is worth it!" Shut it up and ask carefully! ”
The man walked to the door and bowed his hand inward: "Liu Gongzi was frightened, and under the command of Zhang Shijun, he worked on Cao Yanpu, and was ordered by Shijun to greet Liu Gongzi." ”
I tidied up my clothes, walked out of the door under the escort of Zhuge Qiao and others, and said, "Yan Gongcao is good." ”
Yan Pu probably didn't expect me to be so small, he was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down again: "Liu Gongzi is really a young hero, so much so that I am embarrassed." Please! ”
Sitting in the car, Zhao Zheng escorted him by the car and came to Yanpu Mansion. We were arranged in a side courtyard, and immediately a maid came up to wait, bathed and changed, and Yan Pu sat with us, and chatted together for a while. When asked about those people, he said that they were the subordinates of General Xiliang who we killed, and although we were suspicious of this, we were helpless. I told Yan Pu about the riverside, and I only hid the ambush of Pound. When Yan Pu heard about Cao Cao, his face was solemn, and he took his leave. After some time, Yan Pu returned and questioned us carefully. If this is the case a few times, Yan Pu will never return.
For three days, we waited here until our eyes were blue, and although we had delicious food and drink, we couldn't help but feel suspicious. Jiang Wei said: "Young master, it seems that the situation is not right, is Yan Pu reliable?" ”
I know too little about this person, but I know that he is an important strategist in front of Zhang Lu, attacking Liu Zhang, lifting Pang De, etc. are all his suggestions, and he can be regarded as a person who is dedicated to doing things for Zhang Lu. Will he harm me?
I set my eyes on Zhuge Qiao. Zhuge Qiao is obviously under a lot of pressure these days, one is because of the environmental impact, and the other is that Zhao Zheng is always next to him and threatens to kill him first if something happens to me. He didn't have Mr. Kong Ming's always calm appearance, and after a few days, his eyes were as black as a panda.
"Young master, we can't wait, we must see Zhang Lu with new eyes and make our words clear to our faces. It's still a question whether this Yan Pu can spread the word, and what's more, if they take Gongzi as a hostage at this time, and make any excessive demands like the lord, even if we go back, we will never be able to raise our heads! ”
Not bad. When I landed, I remembered my uncle Sun Quan, who sent Zhou Shan to pick up his mother Sun Shangxiang, wasn't it just the idea of using me to exchange for Jingzhou. Although there is Liu Shengzhi now, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhang Lu will not use me for some benefits.
So, a few of us asked the servants to go and invite Yan Pu. The servant said that he was in the back garden and that he should not be disturbed. I was furious for a moment, and with a look, Zhao Zheng lifted the servant, threw it aside, strode forward, and went straight to the back garden.
There was a bearded man in the courtyard, who seemed to be waiting to see Yan Pu, and when he saw us moving forward noisily, he frowned and said, "Quiet." ”
Zhao Zheng scolded: "What are you!" ”
The bearded man was furious, stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Zheng and fell to the ground. Zhao Zheng was half-sounding, and he couldn't move.
I was taken aback, although Zhao Zheng is not a first-class player, but Zhao Yun personally selected to protect me, and I was captured in one move, there is such a good player in Yanpu Mansion!
Jiang Wei had already jumped up, his fists dancing like the wind, turning into a cloud. The bearded man said "Huh", stretched out his palm, the clouds dispersed, the two fists intersected, Jiang Wei took two steps back, and his body stood still. The bearded man shouted, "Good! "I have arrived in front of Jiang Wei, and I slashed straight with one palm, and Jiang Wei put his arms together and held the palm. The beard slammed into force, Jiang Wei was already kneeling on one leg, and right here I could hear Jiang Wei's arm making a gratifying sound.
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting at the gate of the back garden: "Ling Ming, stop." "It's Yan Pu.
This man named Ling Ming took a step back and let go of Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei got up and came to my side, cold sweat still flowing from his forehead.
Yan Pu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Liu Gongzi, forgive me, I was discussing with the distinguished guests in the back garden, and I lost my manners, so please don't worry about it." Tell me to make your business clear to the Lord. ”
Ling Ming nodded and retreated, and Jiang Wei asked, "Who is this person?" It's amazing! ”
Yan Pu smiled but did not answer.
I said: "Yan Gongcao, I want to see Zhang Shijun in the next place, but I don't know how Gongcao is spreading. If the master is flawless, Zen will go from the master's house to find him. ”
Yan Pu said: "Liu Gongzi is so angry. If so, please tell us about it in the back garden. As for the others, there are distinguished guests in the house, and it is inconvenient to invite them. ”
Zhao Zheng shook his head and said, "No! ”
Yan Pu smiled: "If I have malicious intentions, only one person will be clear, can the princes be enemies?" ”
Zhao Zheng was speechless.
Zhuge Qiao suddenly attached to my ear and said a few words, I nodded again and again, and followed Yan Pu into the garden.
This back garden is actually an excellent scenery, rockeries and strange stones, small bridges and flowing water, and a big stone is engraved with the word "Zhengyi". Walking with Yan Pu, I turned around a pavilion and suddenly saw several people playing chess in the pavilion. There is a person in the middle, wearing a towel and a robe, with a majestic appearance, he only looks at the chess pieces in his eyes and does not look up.
I saw that Yan Pu was also watching chess with his hand, and he didn't introduce it, so I couldn't help but be secretly angry, but it was not easy to show it, so I walked up to watch the chess. I was too short to see it, so I wanted to climb onto the stone railing.
A bearded man laughed: "Can an ignorant child also watch chess?" ”
I said, "I'm not watching chess, I'm watching qi." ”
"Observing Qi? What kind of qi do you observe? ”
"Soldiers! The aura of slaughter has come from the east, but some people don't know that the catastrophe is coming, ridiculous, ridiculous! ”
The long beard was full of color: "The department is the Han family guarding Hanning, so the Han is stable, how can the East come to attack me?" ”
I didn't answer, just turned around and laughed.
After a while, a voice behind me said, "Stand down." Kid, you can turn around. "It was the majestic man.
I turned around and saluted, "Master." ”
Zhang Daoling was the first to open the Five Doumi Sect, called the Heavenly Master, his son Zhang Heng succeeded him, called the heir teacher, and his grandson Zhang Lu was called the Department Master because of his teaching. When I called out, the man was startled: "How do you know it's me?" ”
I said, "If you are looking at your qi well, how can you not see the teacher. But in my heart, I thought that Zhuge Qiao was too powerful, and from the clues of Yan Pu, he could actually guess that Zhang Lu was in the garden.
Zhang Lu saw that I was not telling the truth, so he didn't delve into it anymore, and said immediately: "You kid is very interesting, what are you doing in my Hanzhong?" It can't be specifically to kill a general and tell me he's a mole, right? ”
"What does the department master think of Cao Cao?"
"A moment of heroism, unparalleled in the world!"
"What about my father?"
"Liu Bei, Xiao Xiongye."
Obviously, Cao Mengde and my father have a different rank in Zhang Lu's heart, and I am disappointed for a while, but I feel that this is the real ranking. Perhaps in my heart, my father's status is indeed not as high as Cao Cao's.
"If Cao Mengde attacks Hanzhong, I don't know how the division will resist it?"
Zhang Lu shook his head and said, "Resist, can't resist." Cao Mengde uses soldiers like a god, and there are resistors in the world? It's just a drop word. ”
I never imagined that Zhang Lu, who had been stationed in Hanzhong for decades as a department teacher, would say the word "surrender" so easily, I couldn't help but be shocked and persuaded: "Didn't Mr. hear about Sun Zhongmou?" On the same day, Cao Gong went south, Jiangdong was in turmoil, and there were countless people who surrendered, and Dulu Su said: 'The world can be surrendered, but the general can't.' If you wait for the downgrading, you should return to the township party with the suppression, and you will not lose the state and county because of the tired officials; The general descended, what do you want to do?'"
Zhang Lu said: "The soldiers are in danger and fierce, if they fight, where will they put my thousands of sect members?" Cao Gong is generous and honest, and he will live up to me. ”
I said, "Honesty and generosity? Liu Cong also demoted Cao Gong, what happened? Xuzhou was killed by Cao Cao's bloody pestle, such a person, can it be said to be generous? If the teacher is afraid that it will be difficult to defend the Hanzhong, I am willing to submit a letter to my father and ask him to send troops to help. ”
Zhang Lu said lightly: "Liu Bei, Xiao Xiongye, I know that this is not a false way to destroy the enemy?" Liu Zhang's Yin Jian is not far away, I dare to use him? ”
This is the truth, Liu Zhang asked his father to help resist Zhang Lu, but his father killed Liu Zhang with his free hands. However, fortunately, I have the words that I have discussed with Zhuge Qiao a long time ago to deal with it. "In my father's life, although he was displaced, he never hurt a single person. He is only the second son of me and Liu Shengzhi, and now Liu Shengzhi is greatly favored by the teacher, and I am a guest at the teacher's place, so I ask my father Anken to be an enemy of the public? And how can it hurt the people? ”
Zhang Lu looked me up and down, and suddenly smiled: "That's it." Write a letter. ”
I suddenly realized that his so-called "surrender" earlier was just asking me to offer to help. With Zhang Lu's decades of experience in Hanzhong, blocking the east and killing in the west, how can he be willing to surrender until the last moment? I, a person whose mission is to change my own destiny, was actually teased by Zhang Lu, who Cao Mengde said "how can a villain be a child", I felt powerless for a while, with my energy, can I really change my fate?
I looked at Zhang Lu's departing back, opened my throat and shouted: "Villain Yang Song, the traitor of wealth, I can't believe it!" ”
Zhang Lu was stunned for a moment, and then left.
