Chapter 37: Nursery Rhymes
Ah Da knows best how many hole cards Cao Wu has prepared for this war.
In a period of relative peace, outsiders would not be completely unable to see the generals of Sun and Liu.
At that time, Cao Wu ordered someone to secretly draw portraits of important people on both sides.
Except for Da Qiao, who is simple to understand, almost all the important figures on Sun and Liu, Zhang Xia and his subordinates have seen the portraits.
This work was not as easy as imagined, and Cao Wu had been planning for two years for this matter alone, and it took him two years to slowly get it together.
Now, Zhang Xia said that it was Lu Su who entered the city, so there is a chance that it is.
As for the suspected Zhao Yun......
Ah Da waved away Zhang Xia, returned to the bedside, woke up Cao Wu, and told the information.
Cao Wu was not as surprised as Ah Da, and his judgment that Sun and Liu would definitely join forces was firmer than Zhuge Liang.
No matter what those rats in Jiangdong say, Sun Quan is Sun Quan, looking at his actions of shooting tigers, you know that he is still a hot-blooded young man, with a strategist like Lu Su and a famous general like Zhou Yu, Sun Quan will eventually move towards a union with Liu Bei.
Then Zhao Yun appeared here and arrived with Lu Su. It's nothing.
All he cared about was the man he didn't recognize.
Maybe it's because the vision is not clear and I don't recognize it, maybe the person is hiding his figure, but without Zhuge Liang, who will Liu Bei send to unite? Who can talk about the Confucianism?
Liu Bei's advisers, Mi Zhu is dead, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Liu Yan, who has this ability?
Anyway, it won't be Zhang Fei.
Cao Wu got up and stretched out, although it was not yet dawn. But the second act of the serial scheme is about to begin.
……
A street corner in Chaisang.
A group of early children were playing together, and suddenly, a "dripping" sound sounded, and a round ball rolled over.
The ball was clear and beautiful, and the children immediately liked it very much, and wanted to go over to get it, but they were preempted by a big hand.
A big man laughed and said, "Little cub, if you want this ball to be simple, you have to play a game with me!" ”
A kid with pigtails rolled his eyes and asked, "What kind of game?" ”
"I'll teach you a nice tune, as long as you learn it, everyone will have such a ball reward!"
The children immediately cheered and clamored for learning the tune.
The same scene is playing out everywhere in Chaisang.
……
Lu Su, Pang Tong, and Zhao Yun, who had traveled all the way, after entering the city, Lu Su lived in the guest room of the house where Sun Quan stayed, but because Pang Tong had not yet been introduced, the guards did not let them in, so they could only be arranged in the inn first, Zhao Yun was nothing, Pang Tong was unhappy, but there was no way.
Lu Su instructed the guards to call him as soon as the lord woke up, but he didn't expect that when he was called, it was already three poles in the sun, and it was time to go.
He hurriedly got up, only then did he know that Sun Quan didn't let the guards call him and let him sleep a little longer.
He got up in a panic and went to see Sun Quan, Sun Quan exchanged a few words with him, and heard him talk about Liu Bei's alliance, but he was not as happy as he imagined.
Lu Su hesitated a little and said, "The general hasn't decided whether to fight or surrender?" ”
Sun Quan shook his head: "It has been decided. ”
"That ......"
Lu Su wanted to ask again, but Sun Quan had already handed him a bamboo slip.
Lu Su took it suspiciously, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.
Finally, he pinched the bamboo slips tightly and said angrily: "Slander! It's a little thing. Slander! ”
He turned his head to Sun Quan and said, "Don't believe the villain's slander!" ”
Sun Quan said: "It's just some nursery rhymes, and Lone doesn't take it to heart, Zijing doesn't have to care." ”
Lu Su wrinkled his brows, he simply got up, knelt on the ground, held the bamboo slip high and said: "Lord, Lu Su asks you to burn this slip, and in the city, prohibit children from singing this nursery rhyme again!" ”
Sun Quan didn't expect him to be so solemn, and hurriedly got up to help him up, but Lu Su didn't get up.
"If the lord doesn't agree, he won't get up."
Sun Quan sighed and said: "Lonely, don't you know that someone deliberately spread it, don't worry, Lone is really not a good thing!" If Zijing wants to burn Jane and ban words, do it yourself. ”
Lu Su got up and walked out of Sun Quan's room with a sad face.
Then he patted his head, and forgot to lead Pang Tong and the two into the house, so he turned back again, but saw Sun Quan teasing his young daughter Sun Luban, and he was in harmony and love with Mrs. Bu's family of three, so he couldn't help but take a step back.
Sun Quan saw him and said with a smile: "Zijing is back again, but what did you forget?" ”
Lu Su felt that Sun Quan's smile was still very affinity, and said: "I forgot, Liu Bei's envoy Pang Tong and his general Zhao Yun are in the inn at the moment, and I invite the lord to see him." ”
Sun Quan nodded and said: "I have heard that Liu Bei's subordinates, Guan Zhang Zhao is a three-member tiger general, and he has never had a chance to meet, so I quickly invite them...... No, Lone went to see Zhao Yun in person! ”
Hearing Sun Quan's words, Lu Su said: "The envoy Pang Tong has the talent to pass through the heavens and latitudes, don't be lazy!" ”
Sun Quan pondered carefully: "The name of Pang Tong, Lone seems to have heard of it?" ”
Lu Su explained that Pang Tong was an official in Jiangdong, who had served in the county government before, and had recently voted for Liu Bei.
Sun Quan was suddenly not very happy, his own people voted for others, and he became an envoy to envoy himself, is he showing off his might?
So he extinguished the idea of going to see him in person, and only let Pang Tong and Zhao Yun come to his mansion to see him.
Soon after Lu Su left, Da Qiao hurried over, she didn't have the right to communicate to Sun Quan, she went directly into the inner hall, and when she saw Sun Quan, she said, "Quan'er, have you heard the nursery rhyme?" That must be a traitor and a victim, don't believe it! ”
Sun Quan smiled bitterly: "Sister-in-law, why do you come to ask, I'm not a child anymore, how can I believe a few nursery rhymes." ”
Da Qiao felt a little relieved at this time, and said: "Concubines shouldn't be involved in political affairs more, but since Quan'er, you have made up your mind to resist Cao, shouldn't you meet Gongjin?" ”
Sun Quan handed Sun Luban in his arms to Mrs. Bu and said, "Sister-in-law, in fact, I wanted to see Gongjin yesterday, but he went to you, and it was inconvenient for me to see each other. I understand that this matter must be decided immediately, but if Gong Jin is allowed to centrifuge, it will not be good! ”
Da Qiao lowered his head and pondered, and finally said, "Then I'll go and explore Gongjin's mouth first." ”
"Good!"
……
"Get out of the way!"
A group of soldiers entered the alley, grabbed a few children, and as soon as they were frightened, the children explained the ins and outs of learning nursery rhymes.
The soldiers released the children and searched along the city walls, and finally all the clues converged into an inn.
The soldiers didn't dare to startle the snake, so they went to report to Lu Su, who was temporarily in charge of this matter, but Lu Su led Pang Tong and Zhao Yun to see Sun Quan, so he had to chase Sun Quan.
They didn't pay attention, and when they were catching the child, Lu Ji happened to pass by and heard the content of the child's nursery rhyme.
He was shocked in his heart, and immediately ran to Zhang Zhao's mansion, but unexpectedly, there were already several people sitting in the hall.
Yu Fu smiled bitterly: "In Zibu Mansion, it has really become a daily group of heroes." ”
Zhang Zhao was noncommittal, closed his eyes and rested.
Everyone gossiped, some said that nursery rhymes came into the world, it was the will of heaven, and they must not ignore it, some said that it was purely made up by children's nonsense, and some said that it must be instigated by traitors, but they couldn't say why, and they couldn't get a result from the discussion for a while.
Gu Yong said tentatively: "What does Zibu think about this matter?" ”
Zhang Zhao took a sip of tea and said: "As you know, Zijing has returned to the city yesterday. ”
A fluttering sentence immediately gathered everyone's attention and waited for the following.
"Zijing's envoy this time is a great courage, whether it succeeds or not, I admire it. I didn't mention this matter, but I said that there were two people who entered the city yesterday, and they were the envoys of Liu Bei, the general of the left. ”
And they pricked up their ears to hear.
Zhang Zhao took a sip of tea for a long time before he continued: "One person is from Bai Ma Yicong, surnamed Zhao Mingyun Zilong, a spear, and a brave crown in the world. ”
"The other person, but everyone has seen it more or less, Pang Shiyuan, who is a roe deer, surnamed Pang Mingtong, and is called Mr. Feng Xiao."
Hearing this name, the hall suddenly exploded.
Everyone knows that this person is a madman, who was a kung fu under Zhou Yu before, and he looks very ugly, different from the handsome people in the banquet, and he likes to judge others, as if everyone is inferior to him.
From Zhou Yu to Zhang Zhao, none of the people in power in Jiangdong liked him, so he was not popular.
Zhang Hong frowned: "How did this madman become General Zuo's messenger?" ”
Lu Ji snorted: "Since I have been appreciated by the big-eared thief who weaves mats and sells shoes and pretends to be the emperor, the two smell the same, so I call him a confidant!" ”
He didn't say that it was okay, but when he said this, the hall instantly fell silent.
Lu Ji looked left and right, didn't know what he said wrong, thought carefully about what he said, and suddenly woke up: "I know!" ”
Zhang Zhao laughed and took out a roll of bamboo slips, threw it on the ground and said, "As you guessed, it is that Liu Bei Xiao'er, who is waiting for me to be a monarch and minister!" ”
I saw that the bamboo slips spread out were written on the content of the nursery rhyme this time.
"The emperor is not the emperor, the Son of Heaven in Luoyang is standing on the side!"
"Wang is not the king, Yecheng is called the prime minister of Lonely Cao!"
"Kiss not kiss, weave mats and sell the king of Hanzhong!"
"Will not be a general, Zhou Lang will fight the Yangtze River!"
