Chapter 231: Wind and Cloud, Into Shu
Yu Tianlai walked outside, returned to Jiaozhou with two white deer and a teenager, and announced that the young man named Lin Shuo would be accepted as the second disciple of the sect.
Then he irresponsibly threw Lin Shuo to his eldest disciple Huang Xu for guidance and teaching, and he still went to retreat and cultivate.
When Yu Tianlai didn't listen to the things outside the window, the world had changed like a storm.
After capturing Wu County, Huang Zhong continued to move north, and his troops were directed at Liu Xuan, the largest separatist force in Jiangdong. At the beginning, he was just a pioneer, and Zhao Yun defeated Liu Miao in three battles. It wasn't until Liu Miaojun came out with a young hero Tai Shici that Zhao Yun's edge was slightly stifled.
Tai Shi Ci and Zhao Yun fought for several days and were unable to distinguish the winner from each other, and they felt a little sympathy for each other.
When Huang Zhong's army arrived, Guo Jia set up a divisive plan to make Liu Miao and Tai Shi Ci turn against each other, and then persuaded Tai Shi Ci to surrender with righteousness.
After Liu Xuan's army was defeated, he fled north in a hurry, and the land east of the river belonged to Jiaozhou.
At the same time that Jiaozhou sent troops to attack Jiangdong, the Central Plains in the north was also changing. First, the two major forces of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan fought for Jizhou, and then Wang Yun set up a series of plans to kill Dong Zhuo, and then Li Dao and Guo Yan killed Wang Yun, and then Li Guo and the two fought inextricably...... In short, it is a fierce battle, a dangerous killing, and the unlucky ones are the ordinary people who let others harvest this time like spring leeks.
Liu Wei's strategist group realized that the chaos in the north was a good opportunity for their side to develop in the south, so they began the next step of expansion non-stop, with the goal of Jingzhou.
The situation in Jingzhou was different from that in Jiangdong, and Jiaozhou did not send a single soldier, but only sent Xun Yu as an envoy to lobby. After Xun Yu arrived in Jingzhou, he said that Liu Biao's famous family was speechless with a three-inch incorruptible tongue, and he even said that Liu Biao himself recognized the situation and sincerely submitted. In this way, it does not take a knife or a shot, and the land of Jingzhou also belongs to Liu Wei.
Liu Wei spent nearly three years in operation, and truly connected the three states of Jiao, Yang, and Jing, so that the talents of the three states could be used for their own purposes, and became the most solid foundation for their own great cause.
After these three years, the situation in the north has gradually become clearer. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao stood out from the crowd, one was in the land of Hebei, Qing, You, and the four states, with abundant people and many soldiers, and the other rescued the Han Emperor Liu Xie from the hands of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, with the name of righteousness. The rest such as Ma Teng, Han Sui, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Zhang Yang, Zhang Xiu and others still controlled the city, but they could not be compared with these two.
After many discussions, Liu Wei's advisers decided to take Yizhou into their hands before Yuan Shao or Cao Cao unified the Central Plains. Now that Liu Yan is newly mourned, Liu Zhang has taken over Yizhou not long ago, which is a good opportunity for the plot.
It's just that when Liu Bian's side was still planning Yizhou, Yizhou sent someone to write the book first, but this letter was not sent to Liu Bian, but to Yu Tianlai, who has been practicing in seclusion all year round.
Liu Wei personally met Yu Tianlai to present the letter, Yu Tianlai opened and read it only to know that this letter was the book of Zhang Xiu, the master of Wudou Mi Dao, which said that Yu Tianlai had made a three-year contract, and now the three-year period is approaching, so he was invited to meet in the White Emperor City to understand the grievances of the year.
Liu Wei was worried that the other party was cheating, so he persuaded Yu Tianlai not to go.
Yu Tianlai said with a smile: "Zhang Xiu is so solemn, it shouldn't be just for the incident three years ago. Poor Dao heard that the king wanted to win Yizhou recently, but Yizhou was dangerous and the people were rich, and it was difficult to get it. Poor Dao went to this appointment, maybe he could bring unexpected good news back to the king. ”
After a little explanation of a few things, Yu Tianlai took the sword box and rode the little white deer to get up.
In the past three years, Yu Tianlai began to study the Dan Dao in addition to his practice, refining a lot of pills for various purposes. The little white deer inherited his mother's habits, and liked to take all kinds of elixirs the most, and when he had nothing to do, he liked to come to Yutian and eat a lot of various elixirs he refined. Yu Tianlai liked this little guy quite a lot, so he turned a blind eye and let him be a thief.
The little white deer is quite spiritual, seeing that Yu Tianlai doesn't care, he simply left his mother and Lin Shuo, and openly lived in the place where Yu Tianlai cultivated. Nourished by these elixirs, it grew like a blow in the past three years, surpassing its mother in size, and its fur changed from gray to pure white, and its two eight-pronged antlers and four hooves took on the color and texture of metal.
Yu Tianlai loved it as a horse, so he used it as a mount, and gave it an official name called "Flying Snow". The little white deer eats people with a short mouth, and he can't leave Yu Tianlai, the owner of the rice, so he obediently accepted the new name and let him ride.
The speed of flying snow is far faster than that of ordinary war horses, and mountaineering and wading are like walking on the ground, even if walking in the Shu Road, which is known as "difficult to go to the blue sky", there is no hindrance. After only a few days of speeding all the way, the White Emperor City had already appeared in front of him.
Yu Tianlai drove Feixue to the White Emperor Mountain, and the meeting place that Zhang Xiu set in the letter was in the White Emperor Temple on the mountain.
Riding a deer in broad daylight is naturally particularly eye-catching. Therefore, as soon as Yu Tianlai arrived at the foot of Baidi Mountain, there were five buckets of rice Dao disciples who came to greet him.
Yu Tianlai followed the people to climb the White Emperor Mountain, all the way to the White Emperor Temple built by the locals on the mountain to commemorate Gongsun Shu. Although Gongsun Shu was arrogant and claimed the emperor, he was able to keep peace and tranquility in the troubled times, so he could be remembered by the people after his death, and even set up temples to worship.
In front of the White Emperor Temple, there are three Taoists who are already waiting at the door. Two of them are Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiao who they met three years ago, and now their expressions are quite haggard, obviously after being banned and cultivated by Yu Tianlai, the life of the past three years has not been easy. A Taoist standing at the front was born with a face like a crown of jade, a beard three feet long, and although he only wore a simple gray Taoist robe, he had an ancient temperament.
Yu Tianlai floated down from the back of Feixue, walked a few steps forward and said: "There is Lao Zhang Zhangzhang to teach for a long time, and Yu Tianlai is polite." ”
That Daoist is naturally Zhang Xiu, the head of the Five Bucket Rice Dao. He hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Don't dare, poor Zhang Xiu returned the salute." ”
After seeing each other after the ceremony has been completed, they entered the temple together, and after the guests and hosts in the side hall sat down, Yu Tianlai went straight in: "Three years ago, Zhang Zhangjiao plotted the soul mark of the reincarnation of my senior brother Zhang Jiao, although it failed to succeed because of the poor way, after all, it was ill-intentioned. Now that Poor Dao has come to the appointment, I also asked Zhang Zhang to teach Poor Dao, and I also gave an explanation to Nanhua!"
"Yu Tianlai, you are arrogant!" Zhang Xiao behind Zhang Xiu was furious when he heard this, and jumped out and shouted, "You also said that we didn't succeed, but my two brothers were abolished by you, how do you want us to explain?"
Yu Tianlai ignored him, just looked at Zhang Xiu calmly, and said indifferently: "If this is Zhang Zhangjiao's attitude, we don't have to talk about it today." ”
Zhang Xiu didn't see any joy and anger on his face, but he was also silent.
At this time, a clear laughter suddenly came from outside the hall: "Since Zhang Zhangjiao has made an appointment, he has the sincerity to solve the problem." Why is Yu Daoyou so aggressive?
