"I have always admired the prestige of General White Rabbit, the general rose between Qianmo, and his name was famous in all directions of Hanoi.

Hanoi, Huai District.

Sima Yi has been here for a while, and he is keen to make friends with heroes from all walks of life, in addition to having a lot of discussions with Zhang Yang, from the captain to the centurion in the army, he will say a few more words when he has the opportunity, and he has received rave reviews for a while.

You must know that behind Sima Yi is the Sima family, the first prominent family in Hanoi, and as this group of most grassroots-born warriors, there will be a kind of admiration and respect for Sima Yi in the context of the times.

There is a cute and cute word, White Rabbit, Sima Yi called him General White Rabbit, and he was still very happy in his heart.

But as a black mountain thief, he can be as prominent in front of people as he is today, but he is not as gentle as the white rabbit, and it is easy to kill people.

However, for Sima Yi, Zheng Gu still respects him very much, and his words of praise are more useful than hearing them from ordinary people's mouths.

It's like diamond saying you're really awesome and bronze saying you're really awesome, and the vanity in your heart is completely different.

"Zhongda is young, but he is famous, and I am also familiar with your name." The bearded man drank with a solid smile.

"Where, where, compared with the prestige of General White Rabbit, this thin name is like a starry moon, but"

Sima Yi frowned, sighed heavily, and raised his glass, "It's nothing, nothing, come, I'll give the general another glass." ”

"Eh, that's not going to be a pleasure."

The black mountain thief-born Zheng Gu has always been a straight intestine, and he couldn't stand these twists and turns, so he directly pressed Sima Yi's wine glass, and said unhappily: "What does Mr. Zhongda have to say directly, don't you treat me as an outsider?" ”

"Well, since the general asked in person, he didn't dare to deceive."

After Sima Yi put down the wine glass, he didn't forget to look around the house, and confirmed that no one was able to whisper: "The general has to persuade the prince, I am worried that there will be a big disaster in Hanoi." ”

"Woe to you. What catastrophe? When he heard this, he immediately looked at him.

"General, Yuan Shao is dead, the northern country has fallen into turmoil recently, which will inevitably cause strong enemies to surround him, not to mention it, Cao Cao will not sit idly by, and will definitely go north to attack the city and seize it."

His eyes turned, and the reason was there, "But this, what is the obstacle with the lord?" ”

"The general doesn't know, my brother is an official in Xuchang, and a few days ago he wrote a letter to persuade me to leave Hanoi, because Cao Cao's current strength is not yet able to go straight to Jizhou, what should I do? He can only take the state first, and if he wants to take the state, Hanoi can't get around it, so "

Sima Yi made a gesture of raising and dropping his hand, and gasped in shock.

This is true, Hanoi County is like a big mountain between Bingzhou and Xuchang, if you go around, not to mention that you will always suffer from the Northern Army from behind, and the grain route will be stretched for hundreds of miles.

And Cao Cao's strength is monstrous now, and he may be afraid of going straight to Jizhou, but taking a Hanoi is definitely easy and enjoyable In this way, Hanoi does have a big crisis.

originally thought that as soon as Yuan Shao died, the crisis from the north would be eliminated, but he forgot that there was still a Cao Cao.

It's troublesome, it's troublesome.

He stood up, rubbed his hands uneasily, and sat down again after a while, and said quickly: "Sir, do you mean to let me persuade the lord to surrender to Cao Cao?" ”

Sima Yi shook his head slowly, "I've thought about this problem, but I'm afraid it's impossible." Fujun and Wen Hou have the meaning of life and death, and for Wen Hou he is willing to take the risk of entering the north alone, which can be seen here. ”

That's right, in Hanoi for many years, if I was willing to cast Cao, I would have voted a long time ago, and I was like a deflated ball, withering, and my eyes were terrified.

asked him to persuade Zhang Yang to join Cao, thinking about it, he knew that it was impossible.

But not to vote for Cao Cao means to face Cao Cao's army, after all, this is about the entire annexation of the state.

"So what the hell is to do then?"

"I don't have a clue about this verse."

Sima Yi sighed and shook his head and looked at Zheng Gu with a regretful expression, "Actually, I plan to return to Wen County in a few days, but the name of General White Rabbit is admired by Xia, and this time I really can't bear to keep the general in the dark, so I have to remind him more." ”

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

A person like Zheng Gu, who was born as a mountain bandit, where can he have any independent thinking, he is basically following Sima Yi's thoughts, and after being brought to this pit by him, he fell into panic, and the wine was not fragrant.

Seeing that Sima Yi was not ready to say more, he simply stood up and said, "Mr. is quick to think, there must be a good way to save me, please teach me!" ”

"This"

Sima Yi looked embarrassed, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and sighed: "Only the prince of the mansion can call the shots in this matter, the wolves, naturally the actions of the wolf king are the criterion, this general should be very clear." ”

"Yes, except for the wolf king, no one can influence the direction of the wolves," he muttered and repeated, as if he felt something in his heart.

It's not too stupid, Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it's still quite painful to deal with stupid people.

Seeing that the order was almost over, he first filled the wine glass with wine, and then changed his words and asked, "Remember that Zhang Yan on Taihang Mountain also rose with the general in the Yellow Turban Rebellion that year, right?" ”

He hadn't withdrawn from the crisis depicted by Sima Yi, but just nodded his head.

"Zhang Yan is amazing, now he has more than 100,000 people, standing in Taihang Mountain, even Yuan Shao, who was in the sky before, is afraid of three points, remember, Gongsun Chan also asked Zhang Yan for help before he was defeated.

Don't hide it from the general, even in front of him, Cao Cao has to please Zhang Yan, he is really a hero who stands up to the sky. ”

"Heroes?"

Zheng Gu sneered coldly, "He's just luckier than me, if Zhang Niujiao hadn't died early, how could he be in charge!" ”

Zhang Yan is the same as Zhenggu, they are both from mountain bandits, and no one can say who is stronger.

Sometimes, it's just fate, and you can't help but believe it.

Sima Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, the general is also a hero, but it's a pity that he can't make his own decisions." Come, drink, drink"

Regarding this mental technique, even if he has not been immersed in Cao Ying, Sima Yi can still play with the solid in the palm of his hand.

He didn't mention rebellion at every word, but played psychological tricks on him along the way.

first put him on the altar, then told him that Hanoi was in danger, and you can't make your own decisions, and finally pulled out Zhang Yan at the same time to make a flaunt.

Just think, where can ordinary people stand such a gap, let alone that he is just a mountain bandit with no bottom line.

He even began to regret that he didn't take Hanoi when Zhang Yang went to the north.

In fact, Wei has his own concerns, he is just a mountain bandit, and he is not like Zhang Yang with the name of General Anguo and Hanoi Taishou of the imperial court, how can he appease the heroes of the major families in Hanoi.

Without their support, these 20,000 troops can't all fall into the grass, right?

However, this is the previous mentality, and the moment is different, because the spokesperson of the Sima family, the head of the Hanoi family, is in front of him.

He rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "Zhongda, I don't know what Ling Zun thinks of me?" ”

"My father also highly respects the name of General White Rabbit, and often talks to him that the prince of the house is extremely brave, but without the assistance of General White Rabbit, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve today's achievements."

Sima Yi leaned forward and said in a low voice: "I also thought that the talent of General White Rabbit was definitely not under the prince of the mansion, if it wasn't for this, why would I visit him repeatedly?" ”

"Thank you, thank you." His voice was soft, but his eyes had faded from his previous fear.

An absurd, but plausible, bold idea arose.

Neither of them said anything to each other.

But Sima Yi could guess from his eyes that the purpose of this trip had been achieved.

So, he raised his glass and floated it up.

Cai Yan took a carriage and rushed thousands of miles away, and finally came to Pengcheng.

In fact, in the years before and after getting married, she never left the scope of Sili Prefecture, and this time it was the first time she came to Xuzhou.

Raising his eyes and looking at the word 'Pengcheng' in the golden above, he couldn't help but sigh, "There is the prosperity of Luoyang in the past." ”

"Lin Mo has seen Miss."

Cai Yan didn't expect that Lin Mo, who was too guarded by one party, would personally pick her up at the city gate.

On the way here, she kept thinking about what kind of person Lin Mo was, and when she really saw it, eight words jumped out of her heart, with a graceful posture and a dignified appearance.

"The folk girl has seen the Marquis of Lanling, and I thank the Marquis of Lanling for saving her life." Cai Yan owes himself a blessing, and his demeanor and speech are light and elegant.

Before the crossing, Cai Dacai had always been uneasy, and Lin Mo was not as excited as he imagined when he first saw him.

There seemed to be a sadness in her eyes that she didn't want to talk to.

It's pitiful enough to think about, her husband died of illness, her father and father were killed, and she had to be ravaged by the Huns on the prairie for five years, and it was already considered a good person to be able to look like a normal person when she came back.

"Miss is serious, please." Lin Mo made a gesture of please and opened the way ahead.

Cai Yan behaved dignifiedly, and even when he walked, he deliberately kept a distance from Lin Mo that should be between men and women.

Lin Mo took Cai Yan and did not go directly to the banquet room to eat, but first walked to a quiet courtyard, where the pavilion water pavilion and the stream flowed from the rockery, a gust of wind blew, and the green bamboo in the courtyard made a loud noise, which was quite a paradise.

"This place is even the lady's temporary residence in Xuzhou." Lin Mo of this annex also put some thought into it, and it was specially prepared for her.

Cai Yan's dark eyes looked around the courtyard, but he didn't see any waves, but slowly bowed his head, "Thank you, Marquis Lanling." ”

It can be seen that Cai Yan's inner gloom is very heavy, this kind of haze cannot be dispelled in a short time, Lin Mo is thinking that such an environment, such etiquette, can always heal people's heartache.

Following Lin Mo back to the Lin Mansion, Zhao'er had prepared a large table of delicacies, and Ling'er also accompanied her, which made her more comfortable.

"The Marquis of Lanling is a few years younger than the minnu, and he should not know his father, dare to ask why the Marquis of Lanling is willing to save the minzu from fire and water at such a cost?" This question has puzzled her for too long, and she has not found a good opportunity to ask just now, but now she can speak.

"Cai Daru's reputation is far and wide, and now there are countless juniors in the world who admire him as a person, and I am just one of them."

It is reasonable, Lin Mo has already thought about this explanation, "I have always understood Miss's situation, if you don't dislike it, Pengcheng will be your home from now on." ”

"My Home"

Cai Yan's beautiful eyes sank slightly, revealing an elusive resentment, and in the end, he only showed a polite smile and nodded: "Thank you Lanling Marquis." ”

Although Lin Mo gave the answer she wanted, Cai Yan instinctively felt that this matter was not so simple.

The education she received since she was a child also told her that the four words of Zhi'en Tubao should be proved with actions, first expressed her gratitude to Lin Mo with the wine in the cup, and then said indifferently:

"My father collected more than 4,000 volumes of books during his lifetime, but after several wars in Guanzhong, these classics have long been lost, and the folk girl can only remember more than 400 volumes.

In this era when a book is worth a thousand gold, more than 400 ancient books can be sold on the market and can easily get tens of thousands of gold, if there is a precious single book, hundreds of thousands of gold is also possible.

From the perspective of economic benefits alone, redeeming Cai Yan is definitely not a loss.

Of course, Lin Mo didn't plan to sell these books for money, now Ziyang Academy needs to grow, and it can't do without these books, with books, it can attract countless poor students.

"I can send some officials who know how to write to help." Lu Lingqi was amazed by Cai Yan's memory, and she also heard Lin Mo talk about what happened to this talented woman, and she was quite sentimental in her heart and offered to help.

But Cai Yan just shook his head slowly, "Men and women don't kiss, Mrs. only needs to give me the four treasures of the study, and I will give them within a month." ”

One month, it's amazing, even if a book is a thousand words, more than 400 books are more than 400,000 words, and you can't copy it by hand.

In fact, Lin Mo spent so much effort to redeem Cai Yan, naturally what he valued was not her amazing memory and the books written down silently, but Cai Yan's own value.

Cai Yong's position in the hearts of the world's scholars is very important, and Cai Yan, as a descendant, can also inherit part of the afterglow, and let her serve as the nominal principal of Ziyang Academy, which will definitely further promote this signboard.

Secondly, Cai Yan is not affiliated with any family force, and it is definitely not the word fame and fortune that can attract her, so as to avoid the previous situation where the Chen family extended their hands to the academy to expand their power.

A person who is as tranquil as water and quiet and far-reaching will definitely make Ziyang Academy go further, and it cannot be said that it can completely prevent the students of the family from getting involved in the academy, so it can play a certain deterrent role.

However, it seems that this matter still needs some thought, after Cai Yan is Cai Yong, of course, she will not know how valuable more than 400 books are, she will probably think that this account is enough to repay Lin Mo's life-saving grace.

Therefore, if you want her to stand on her own front and cultivate Ziyang Academy together, she still has to go a long way.

Fortunately, it will not be like a headless fly, Cai Yan in front of him, ordinary people know that he has a very serious inner trauma, and Lin Mo feels that this is an opportunity that can be used.

A wandering soul, a heart that has nowhere to put it, and its greatest desire is an oil lamp that guards her home.

It's easy to hear, but it's hard to do.

Home has never been a house, a garden.

But it's okay, it's still a long time, let's fix it slowly.

"Yunwen!"

While he was eating, Zhao Yun ran in quickly, "Don't eat, someone from Qingzhou is here, Wen Hou will let you go over immediately." ”

After speaking, Cai Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Yun, a strange look appeared in each other's eyes, and they immediately nodded politely and smiled.

Cai Yan's appearance can't be said to be very good-looking, especially after eating wind and frost on the grassland for five years, his complexion is a little dark and dry, quite northern nomadic characteristics, but everyone's elegant temperament has never disappeared, and this temperament makes Zhao Yun look at each other very comfortably.

And Zhao Yun, as a person in the army, has a resolute and heroic face, but his every move has a bit of Confucian spirit, which is completely different from the rough temperament of the generals Cai Yan has seen before, and it seems to give people a sense of steadfastness and safety, so I can't help but take a second look.

"Oh no, I forgot about it, I said I was coming today."

Lin Mo hurriedly put down his chopsticks and looked at Lu Lingqi, "Ling'er, you take care of Miss, I still have military affairs to do." ”

Then he nodded to Cai Yan, and followed Zhao Yun to leave quickly.

Simbi is finally here, it's a big deal, a fun game, it's time to start.
