Chapter 355: Leaving Xu Capital
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Zhen took the carriage of the Han Dynasty for the first time, and went to Cao Cao's mansion with Liu Bei, Xu Shu and others, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also went together.
Soon after, he came to Sikong Cao Cao's mansion and entered the hall, Chu Zhen sat on the right side of the hall under the guidance of the waiter.
There were already many people sitting in Cao Cao's mansion on the left side, but unfortunately Chu Zhen couldn't recognize who was who.
A moment later, Cao Cao, dressed in a dark robe, arrived, and everyone stood up to salute and sat down again.
After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao ordered someone to bring something up, and Chu Zhen looked at it and found that it was a piece of white paper.
"Spread this paper to the people." Cao Cao ordered.
The white paper spread in everyone's hands, and some of them looked surprised, but most of them looked calm, and they didn't know whether they knew about it or were unmoved.
After everyone finished reading it, Cao Cao asked: "What do you think of this paper?" ”
There was no one to answer at one moment, and there were too many things to say.
"What does Xuande think?"
Cao Cao called Uncle Liu Huang to answer.
Chu Zhen took the bronze wine glass of the Han Dynasty and took a sip slowly, thinking to himself, if he went back with a wine glass, the wine glass in Cao Cao's mansion was worth a lot.
But it is also possible that the bronzes excavated by Captain Jin from the imperial tombs of the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, and I don't know how many imperial tombs Cao Cao has excavated now.
Liu Bei said: "This paper is rumored to be made by the papermaking technique given by the immortals of Nanyang, and it seems that this paper will definitely replace bamboo slips in the future and become a reading thing in our hands." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone talked about it, and they all agreed that this paper could replace the bamboo slips.
The focus of the discussion was on the Nanyang immortals.
The white paper returned to Cao Cao's hand, he took the paper and sighed: "When Zhang Xiu was recruited last year, I had heard that there were immortals in Nanyang, but I hated that Zhang Xiu did not report to me at that time, but found a few women to deceive and cover up his treacherous schemes, so that my son was captured." ”
Chu Zhen smiled slightly, and said in his heart, didn't Boss Cao kill the three sages with one shot?
"Now!"
Cao Cao looked at everyone: "The Nanyang Shi clan got this paper-making technique from the immortals, and made the easy and cheap paper, so that the merchants sold it to the south, so that Xu Du didn't know about it until a year later, which is really hateful!" ”
Liu Bei arched his hand and petitioned: "I wish to go to Nanyang and explore the traces of immortals for Sikong!" ”
"Don't rush this matter yet."
Cao Cao waved his hand and looked at Chu Zhen: "Mr. Chu is from Nanyang, can I know who has seen the traces of immortals in Nanyang?" ”
Liu Bei's heart jumped, and he looked at Mr. Chu quietly.
Behind him, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were kneeling and drinking, also looked over.
"People are immortals in the mountains."
Chu Zhen played a charade, "I think only hermits can see immortals." ”
"How many hermits are there in Nanyang?"
"The world is in turmoil, and there are naturally many hermits."
Cao Cao looked at him for a long time and said, "I Guan Chu has an extraordinary bearing, can you introduce one or two hidden sages to me?" ”
Chu Zhen's face was strange, and he asked him: "If there is really a virtuous person, Sikong is willing to go and invite him out of the mountain in person?" ”
Cao Cao smiled and said nothing, and one of them looked at Chu Zhen and said lightly: "Ming Gong is a great Han Sikong, that is, there is a hidden sage, and Ming Gong does not need to deign to go, Mr. Chu's words are a joke?" ”
Everyone on the left laughed.
Guan Yu was furious and stood up abruptly.
Chu Zhen thanked Guan Erye with his eyes for stepping forward, but raised his hand to stop him, and said to Cao Cao: "There is a person in Nanyang who is a capable minister who governs the country, comparable to Guan Zhong and Le Yi of the ancients, and Sikong is willing to go and ask him to come out of the mountain?" ”
"Oh, who is so virtuous?" Cao Cao came interested.
Chu Zhen said: "Its name is Wolong, and there is a poem that says: Gong covers three parts of the country, and the name becomes the eight arrays." Before going out of the mountain, he made a plan to determine the world. ”
Everyone was unmoved, thinking that it was an exaggeration, but Xu Shu, who knew the inside story, laughed, and Liu Bei's heart moved, knowing that Mr. Chu would not talk nonsense, and it was indeed Wolong.
"How can there be such a wise man?" Cao Cao said.
Chu Zhen said again: "There is another person, known as the phoenix chick." ”
Everyone looked at it.
Chu Zhen said with a smile: "How about the phoenix chicks, I won't say it, in my opinion, there are very few people in the world who can compete with the Wolong and phoenix chicks, as well as Yuan Zhi." ”
He praised Xu Shu by the way.
Xu Yuan bowed his hand directly to Mr. Chu, expressing his shame.
Everyone originally listened to him boasting, and thought that they had some high opinions, but in the end, they praised Liu Bei's advisers, and they couldn't help laughing for a while.
Cao Cao didn't ask about the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks again, but asked Chu Zhen with a smile: "Mr. Chu's words are harsh, and he regards the world as nothing, I don't know what Mr. thinks, who can be called a hero in the world?" ”
Everyone looked at it together.
Chu Zhen was also taken aback, this is "Qingmei Cooking Wine on Heroes"?
No, this question should be thrown to Liu Bei!
However, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei did not dare to answer, but Chu Zhen did not have this concern.
"Heroes, in my opinion, one is the talent of governing the country and the country, and the other is benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith."
Chu Zhen smiled: "If there is chaos today, the talent to govern the country and the country cannot be found, but can only be found from benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith." ”
Cao Cao laughed: "There are so many heroes in the world, but no one can enter the eyes of Mr.!" ”
Everyone just wanted to laugh, but Cao Cao suddenly pointed to Liu Bei: "Looking at it, Xuande can be a hero in the world!" ”
The wine glass in Liu Bei's hand fell, and the wine was scattered on the ground in an instant.
Everyone looked at him, and Chu Zhen was stunned for a while, but there was no thunder to help him cover up at this moment.
Liu Bei's face was overjoyed, he got up and saluted Cao Operation, and said, "Don't you dare to forget benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom, let alone forget your faith." Prepare a wish to go to Nanyang and save the son of Sikong! ”
Cao Cao squinted his eyes and asked him, "Is Xuande sure to redeem my son?" ”
Only then did everyone know that the benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom that Liu Bei said were related to going to Nanyang.
Liu Bei said: "Jingzhou Liu Biao and I are the same clan, there were letters in the past, and my adviser Xu Yuanzhi has a close relationship with Nanyang scholars, I went to Nanyang to be a guard, Xu Xu Tuzhi, I will be able to save the son of Sikong!" ”
Only then did Chu Zhen know that Liu Bei was prepared.
Cao Ang is now in Zhang Xiu's hands, if it was when the two armies were facing each other, with Cao Cao's character, he would not care about his son's life and death and order an attack.
But now he can't spare himself to embroider Zhang, and he can't bear his son, so he can only redeem it in a "diplomatic" way.
However, even if Liu Bei had a good reason to go, Chu Zhen still didn't immediately agree to him when he saw Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's advisers did not speak, and they had already discussed it before they came.
After a while, Cao Cao asked: "How many soldiers and horses do you want to bring from Xuande to Nanyang?" ”
Liu Bei said: "I am going to go this time, but I will enter Nanyang as a Taishou, and there should not be too many soldiers, too many will cause Zhang Xiu to be jealous, and not too little, and less will make Zhang Xiu and others despise." Zhang Xiu has more than 30,000 people, and only 5,000 people are enough! ”
Five thousand is not a lot.
Chu Zhen knew that several major battles in the Three Kingdoms were at the level of 100,000 troops, and Liu Bei recruited troops in Xiaopei many times, but he only recruited more than 10,000 people.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Together with your more than 1,000 people?" ”

"Yes, five thousand in all."
Liu Bei arched his hand: "Together with the grain, grass and weapons, I will ask Sikong to give a thousand horses, and most of Zhang Xiuxi's Liang soldiers are cavalry." ”
Cao Cao categorically refused: "There are only more than 1,000 horses in Xu Du, how can I give them all to you?" ”
Liu Bei struggled and said with a smile: "I passed by a horse farm by the river a few days ago, and there were at least hundreds of ...... in it Sikong, please dial me a good horse eight hundred! ”
"Five hundred at most!"
The two bargained, and in the end Liu Bei asked for 600 horses, and said, "Be prepared to live up to the trust!" ”
Cao Cao agreed, saying that he would play His Majesty in two days, and then set up troops to Nanyang.
After leaving Sikong Mansion.
"Since the eldest brother has the intention of leaving Xu Capital, why not urge Cao Cao to allocate food and grass to the soldiers and horses as soon as possible?" Guan Yu asked.
"No."
Xu Shu stopped in a low voice: "You can't be impatient in this matter, you must wait for the tiger talisman to arrive, and then you can order troops to leave!" Do not rush within three days. ”
Liu Bei agreed.
Chu Zhen waited in Xudu for three days, and as soon as the three days passed, the tiger talisman was delivered.
Liu Bei immediately went to the palace to report to the Son of Heaven, and after leaving the palace, he went to Sikong Cao Cao's mansion.
After coming back, he didn't stop for a moment, immediately packed up his weapons and pommel horses, and urgently ordered Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu and others to go to the barracks and order the soldiers to pack up the military supplies.
Mobilize now.
In the morning, the tiger talisman was delivered, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Bei was already on a horse, out of the gate of Xudu, and led 5,000 people to the south in a hurry.
After walking out of more than ten miles, Zhang Fei finally couldn't help but ask: "Big brother, but does Cao Cao mean to harm us?" ”
He saw that the eldest brother had a happy expression on his face, as if he had escaped from Xu Du.
Liu Bei laughed, bowed to Chu Zhen, and then answered the third brother's question: "I am in Xudu, like a bird trapped in a cage, like a fish tied to a net, life and death are in the hands of others, fortunately Mr. helped to show the way forward." This time, like a fish into the sea, a bird in the sky, no longer bound by the cage net, hahahaha! ”
Xu Shu congratulated him: "Congratulations to the lord for getting out of trouble, go to Nanyang, and the great cause can be achieved!" ”
Chu Zhen also laughed, ready to wait to see the three visits to the thatched house, thinking that it must be interesting at that time.
Zhang Fei looked back at Xu Du, although there were still many things he couldn't understand, but the eldest brother was happy, that is, he was happy.
"Then let's get to Nanyang quickly! Don't stay in the bird place of Xudu! ”
Zhang Fei smiled and spurred the horse.
Chu Zhen didn't want to stay longer, so he returned to Haicheng when he camped at night.
As soon as the camp was set up, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.
Soon after, an envoy from Xu Du came, led by Cao Cao's personal guard general, Xu Chu.
After he arrived, he immediately asked to see Liu Bei, and said: "On the orders of the Prime Minister, please ask General Liu to return to Xudu, and there is another military situation to discuss!" ”
Xu Shu gave Liu Bei a crazy look, Chu Zhen felt funny when he saw it, in fact, there was no need for Xu Shu to remind him, Liu Bei could not return to Xu Du.
"The soldiers have been on the march for a day, how can the commander abandon the troops and go back?"
Liu Bei refused Cao Cao's order conveyed by Xu Chu and asked him to go back to report the report.
Xu Chu wanted to reach out to his sleeve, but saw two tiger generals behind Liu Bei, both holding ring-headed knives and wearing armor, looking at him with murderous intent.
He looked at the others again, and finally slowly lowered his hand and saluted Liu Bei instead: "General Liu replied that I already know, let me go back and tell the prime minister, and the prime minister will decide." ”
"Please."
Liu Bei sent off guests.
Waiting for Xu Chu to leave, he turned his head and ordered: "Order all the troops, rest early tonight, and start tomorrow!" ”
"Yes! Eldest brother! ”
Guan and Zhang also felt the crisis.
On the second day, Chu Zhen set off with the army and hurried overnight.
When they reached a pass, hundreds of people came out and formed a formation in front of the pass, and they could vaguely hear what they were shouting.
Guan Yu didn't talk nonsense with him, ordered a hundred cavalry, rushed straight to the Cao soldiers' army formation, killed a person on his back, and after leaving dozens of corpses, the group retreated into the pass.
Chu Zhen rode by, only to hear them scolding on the city wall, and could vaguely hear it, Guan Yu killed their general Kong Xiu just now?
Liu Bei's 5,000 soldiers and horses marched rapidly, and after another ten miles, another 300 cavalry pursued and killed from behind, and they did not attack, but only hung far behind.
"Don't worry, eldest brother, second brother went to kill them!"
Guan Yu led the cavalry out of the team again.
An hour later, Chu Zhen saw him come back, his armor was bloody, and he looked murderous, and anyone who saw it had to shout a real fierce general!
Soon after, another chasing army came, Xu Du and Nanyang were not far away, and there were many defensive passes between the two, and I thought that at this moment they had received an edict from Xu Du, so that the men and horses of all the passes would come to intercept Liu Bei!
However, things were in a hurry, and it was difficult for a Cao soldier to compete with the 5,000-strong army led by Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.
And these 5,000 people didn't know what was going on, they only obeyed Liu Bei's orders with the talisman, and Cao Cao's elite soldiers couldn't give it to Liu Bei.
Three days later, Liu Bei arrived in Nanyang, Sun Gan, as a messenger, had already ridden to Liu Biaona in advance, and Chu Zhen saw that there was already a team of men and horses waiting on the other side of the river.
He stopped looking down and returned to Haicheng.
Come back when you visit the thatched cottage three times.
……
"Chu Langjun!"
"Uncle Chu is back?"
As soon as he returned, Chu Zhen heard two familiar crisp voices, and the beautiful and graceful Li Qingzhao and the naturally beautiful Sister Lin stood up to greet him.
"Well, it's back!"
"How is Lang Jun's trip?"
"Looking at his smiling face, he must have sent Liu Bei to Nanyang."
"What do you mean by sending, I watched a reality show and cut five levels and six generals."
Chu Zhen smiled and teased, Guan Yu really deserves to be recorded in the history books as a person who shocked Huaxia, leading troops to fight bravely and fiercely, and he must take the lead in every battle, Chu Zhen didn't dare to think that after his mount had stirrups, he would play horse wars in any tricks.
Yes, the stirrup thing, Chu Zhen didn't mention it, and Zhuge Liang didn't tell anyone else.
"Pass five levels and kill six generals? Isn't this what happened after General Guan left Cao's camp? ”
Lin Daiyu's eyelashes blinked, she had listened to the play in her daily life, and she had listened to this play at least three times with the old lady, and she remembered every sentence of the drama clearly.
Chu Zhen smiled: "It's another version of passing five levels and killing six generals, let's sit down and talk about it!" ”
"Lang Jun, please take a seat~" Li Qingzhao pulled him with a smile, returned to the computer desk, and served him like a little maid with tea and water, ready to listen to him talk about the Three Kingdoms.
Chu Zhen took a sip of tea and began to speak: "Last time, after Xu Tian hunted, Cao Cao's ambition began to appear......"
The words have the style of a storyteller, which makes Qing Dai and the others cover their mouths and smile.
