Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 272 Is a benefactor and a master!

In Lu Yu's detailed elaboration...

Today's Zhangxiu in Wancheng mainly relies on Liu Biao in Jingzhou for his military supplies and food.

And the two of them have already concluded a covenant, working together with one heart and one mind.

As for the story of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu, and Mrs. Zou in detail, it is a long story, and it has to start with Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle.

Speaking of which, Cao Cao is no stranger to the name Zhang Ji.

In the past, Cao Cao committed himself to serving Dong, how could he not know that the four great generals Dong Zhuo brought from Xiliang——Li Jue, Guo Si, Hua Xiong, and Zhang Ji!
The eighteen princes challenged Dong, and Dong Zhuo set fire to Luoyang. Cao Cao chased Dong Zhuo and was defeated in Xingyang.

It is true that Xu Rong was the coach of the Xiliang Army in this battle, but Zhang Ji was the deputy commander.

Therefore, Cao Cao was very impressed with Zhang Ji.

Originally, Zhang Ji took Mrs. Zou and his nephew Zhang Xiu to garrison in Chang'an City, but the accident occurred in the event of "the return of the emperor to the east".

The emperor returned to the east, and Zhang Ji also led his army to participate in it.

However, due to disagreements with Dong Cheng, Yang Feng and others, several forces fought violently, and Zhang Ji even tried to hijack the emperor, but in the end he was no match for four hands, and fled southward in despair.

After that, he encountered the same problem as Cao Cao, no food.

Cao Cao eats "locusts" here, but what can he eat?
As a last resort, he could only look at Jingzhou, at the nine counties of Jingxiang where there was plenty of food and grass.

However, due to unforeseen circumstances, when attacking Xiangyang City, Zhang Ji was shot and killed by random arrows. His nephew Zhang Xiucai took his place and returned to Wancheng with his aunt.

This is the "past life and present life" of Zhang Xiu, a branch of the Xiliang tribe.

Cao Cao narrated what Lu Yu told to Xi Zhicai and Xun You...

At first, the two of them listened very seriously, but...after thinking about it, it was wrong!

"Cao Sikong, you just mentioned that Zhang Xiu's army was provided by Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but you also mentioned that Liu Biao shot and killed Zhang Ji with random arrows? Can Zhang Xiu let go of his uncle's revenge? How could they? How about a covenant?"

Xi Zhicai directly cast out the doubts in his heart.

Cao Cao explained with a smile. "Don't panic about Zhicai, let me tell you in detail, haha, this is about a woman, a beautiful beauty, Zhang Xiu's aunt, and now a widow who has lost her husband - Mrs. Zou!"

When Madam Zou was mentioned, Cao Cao's eyes widened suddenly, and there was a green light in them.

It is clear…

Compared with the embroidered "past life and present life", Cao Cao has always been more interested in this "widowed" lady!

Xi Zhicai and Xun You looked at each other, listening to Cao Cao's words, there is so much meaning...

At this time, Cao Cao's words came out one after another.

"It is true that Zhang Ji died under the city of Xiangyang. Zhang Xiu accepted his uncle's followers, and he was on the same level as Liu Biao. But... what was before him was not just the issue of burying his uncle. The more than [-] men under his uncle The rider is eagerly waiting for him to raise food!"

"We have all experienced that drought, and we can understand how hungry these Xiliang cavalry are under the food shortage. If this continues, most of these old ministries will rebel and even eat people! The most important thing is that under this situation, Zhang Xiu also has to be on guard against Liu Biao, to prevent him from taking advantage of others' danger and launching an attack, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused.

The next words, or... the woman mentioned next, is what he is most interested in.

"At this juncture, Zhang Ji's widow, Mrs. Zou, took the initiative to persuade her nephew Zhang Xiu to abandon her hatred, seek peace and stop fighting! And she, a woman with a special status, went to Xiangyang to be a lobbyist."

"Don't tell me...it was precisely because the Zou family took the initiative to go to Xiangyang to express their sincerity. Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu really made peace and became allies. Liu Biao even took the initiative to bear the expenses of Zhang Xiu's military supplies and rations in Wancheng!"

call out…

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai frowned.

This thing is so weird!

This woman is so weird!

That is to say, he knew that it was Lu Yu who told Cao Cao, so he believed it a little more.

If this matter came from someone else, Xi Zhicai would definitely have reservations.

How can there be such a thing?
Because of a woman... Let the two sides go from deep hatred to reconciliation. Although this woman can abandon the past for the sake of the overall situation, it is indeed admirable, but... two princes can conclude an alliance and work together. The weight is still Not enough.

Just thinking of this, Xi Zhicai wanted to question it.

Can…

Suddenly, he thought of something again.

The real reason why Liu Biao agreed to the alliance is...

——It is a "buffer zone"!
That's right, as Lu Sinong proposed when Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, Liu Bei was allowed to occupy Xiapi City and Guangling City.

This is to make Liu Bei a buffer zone between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, so that Cao Cao will not turn against Yuan Shu prematurely and gain time for development.

And now...

Isn't Zhang Xiu and Wancheng where he is located a buffer zone between Cao Cao and Liu Biao?

This is Liu Biao's deliberate avoidance of antagonism with Cao Cao.

In other words, his purpose of providing Zhang Xiu with rations was actually to let the brave Zhang Xiu guard the North Gate for him and resist Cao Cao!
Ha ha…

This is the ultimate goal.

"Cao Sikong, I understand..." Xi Zhicai said...he narrated what was on his mind, and even mentioned this "buffer zone" emphatically!
Cao Cao nodded repeatedly. "That's right, what Zhicai said is one of the three reasons why Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu formed the alliance that Lu Sinong mentioned."

Well…

Hearing this, Xi Zhi just knocked on his forehead, three?

That?
What are the other two?
At this moment, Xun You stroked his beard and said quite seriously: "In my opinion, another meaning of Lu Sinong is Liu Biao's concern!"

"It seems that Zhang Ji attacked Xiangyang City in the past, and Liu Biao was able to defend it because of a lot of luck. From this, it can be seen that Zhang Xiu's cavalry is also very powerful. If he is forced to rush, both sides will suffer... This is what Liu Biao doesn't want to see. Arrived."

Hahaha…

This blurted out Cao Cao's hearty laugh.

"That's right, Lu Sinong mentioned three reasons why Wancheng and Jingzhou are allies and work together.

The first two points are just as the two military advisers said, one is the buffer zone, and the other is to avoid mutual losses.

However, the third point is really because of Mrs. Zou's visit. "

With this in mind, Cao Cao added with a smile...

"Liu Biao has always cherished his reputation, and he is one of the eight Gus in the world. Now that he has killed his husband, how can he refuse when his wife comes to ask for peace? The alliance, including providing money and food to Zhang Xiu, Doesn't this just show his demeanor as a celebrity? Liu Biao especially values ​​this kind of elegant name."

The words blurted out.

Xi Zhicai and Xun You both nodded their heads, after guessing again and again, after all, they guessed less.

Of course, they were still convinced by Lu Yu's analysis of Liu Biao. Liu Biao was just a panelist, but it was almost recognized by Yingchuan talents.

Lu Si Nong, you are as accurate as ever in judging people!
After Cao Cao...

Ah no, to be precise, after Lu Sinong's analysis, it seems...they know the situation of the whole Wancheng and Zhangxiu like the back of their hands.

The big taboo of marching is to fight unprepared battles!
Before Wancheng and Zhang Xiu knew nothing about Cao Jun, even though "the side of the couch is not allowed to snore and sleep", if they really want to fight, it is equivalent to blind eyes and deaf ears. Such a battle is not good Hit it!

But now...

That's another story.

Knowing themselves and the enemy, they all have a general understanding of Zhang Xiu and Wancheng. Taking this as an opportunity, they, the military divisions, can discuss and formulate corresponding strategic plans, adapting measures to local conditions and time conditions, and the chances of victory will undoubtedly be much greater.

but…

What Xi Zhicai and Xun You didn't know was that Lu Yu actually told Cao Cao two words about the conquest of Wancheng, two meaningful words.

The first sentence is - a beauty is a disaster!
The second sentence is - wife abuse is a moment of pleasure, chasing his wife to the crematorium!

Lu Yu's underlying meaning is naturally to show, Lao Cao, Lao Cao, you can't make mistakes that all men in the world make because of a woman!
It's not wise...

Of course, Lu Yu thought of more. After all, according to the course of history, it was precisely because of Wancheng and Mrs. Zou that Cao Cao lost his eldest son Cao Ang, his good nephew Cao Anmin, the ancient evil Lai Dianwei, and even Yu also lost a peerless war horse, and even... even made his first wife, Mrs. Ding, break with him, and never forgave him throughout his life!
The price cannot be described as tragic!

Isn't this story about "Mrs. Ding" just right - wife abuse for a while, chasing wife to crematorium!
"It seems that Cao Sikong intends to adopt Lu Sinong's proposal, and then take Wancheng first, implement this "Zhongding" plan, and eliminate the hidden danger of this "side of the couch""

At the end, Xi Zhi opened his mouth and said, this is the final summary.

"That's not necessarily the case!" Xun You interrupted Xi Zhicai's words, "It also depends on the situation in Xiapi City. If Lu Bu and Liu Bei get into a mess first, then... we can also eliminate them first, and then go back to the city. Return to Xu Capital City!"

As Xun You said...

Lu Yu's "cross strategy" actually did not stipulate who should be attacked first and who should be attacked later.

This is a deduction based on the overall macro situation, and Cao Jun can make corresponding strategies according to changes in the situation.

"Hahaha…"

Cao Cao laughed again. "What Zhicai said makes sense, and what Gong Da said also makes sense. Let's just wait and see what happens. However, I predict that the Central Plains is about to blow up! As for before the wind blows, do we have to do one more thing?"

"What's the matter?" Xun You and Xi Zhicai said in unison, while Cao Cao said bluntly, "July is a good harvest, and the farmers are looking forward to this time! Haha..."

This sentence was so vague that Xun You and Xi Zhicai couldn't understand the situation.

Only Cao Cao knows.

parting...

Yu'er seemed to suddenly think of something, and said a word casually.

That's right... that's the sentence - why doesn't Cao Sikong become a barber in the wheat field during the autumn harvest?
barber?
Barber?
The barber in the rye?The barber in the rye?
At that moment, Cao Cao immediately understood.

This is a trick, this is Yu'er's reminder to win the hearts of the people in Shouchun City, Xiapi City, and Guangling City, and it is also a good medicine for these newly recruited soldiers and horses to "discipline the army" and "clear the rules"!
Good medicine tastes bitter!

Hehe, I didn't expect that even Cao Cao didn't think about the "strict military discipline" and "the attachment of people's hearts"... Yu'er thought of it, and... all of them were hidden in this small razor.

Wonderful, what a barber in the rye, this "barber" is wonderful!

...

...

Lujiang, Wuzhou Mountain, Qiaojiamen.

Because of the spaciousness of Qiao's mansion, Lu Yu lived here these days.

People came to visit from time to time every day and gave them all kinds of precious gifts. What Lu Yu disliked the most was this kind of entertainment, so he asked Cheng Yu to help him avoid it.

seem…

For several days in a row, Lu Yu found a happy thing.

Study with Liu Ye, the shogunate of Luzhou County, to draw the blueprint of "Pili Chariot".

You know... this thunderbolt chariot is an upgraded version of the catapult. It is not only extremely powerful, but also has an extremely long range. It is really a big killer on the battlefield.

However, the blueprint of the Perak car was not complete in Lu Yu's memory.

Therefore…

It happened to find the creator of the Perak car——Liu Ye.

Of course, at this period, Liu Ye didn't know what a thunderbolt car was, but...he was proficient in the art of craftsman since he was a child, and he was extremely proficient in wood art.

Lu Yu explained to him many inventions and creations of later generations, which made him seem to open the door to a new world in an instant. This wood...can still play like this?

Of course, what Liu Ye didn't know was that wood can not only be played like this, but wood can also fly in the hands of a certain emperor... The so-called - long live long live, long live long live, wooden birds and wooden birds fly high.

Three days passed, and the drawings of the thunderbolt car were almost completed.

It is short of "internal beta" first and then "public beta".

And... the other side.

For the Qiao family, for Qiao Zheng, for Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, this was also the third day that Mrs. Li had taken the medicine.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao didn't close their eyes for almost three days. They sat beside their mother's bed in a sense of loss. Mr. Lu had already taken the medicine for three days, but...the mother was still unconscious.

The two sisters looked at each other from time to time, and countless emotions came to their hearts.

At Qiao's house, his father was always busy with business and entertainment.

It was the mother who brought up their sisters since they were young, and the mother and daughter were connected.

How much did my mother suffer in raising their sisters all these years?Only these two sisters know...

How much my mother looks forward...to seeing them get married one day, but...just...

Looking at You Zi lying on the bed, motionless mother.

They could only whimper and cry, and they couldn't do anything except feed a pair of medicines.

"Big Joe, little Qiao..." Qiao was walking behind the two daughters and patted their shoulders. "You haven't closed your eyes for more than ten hours. I have me here, a group of maids to take care of you, and everyone who came here especially for you. You two go first... go and have a rest first! Also go to the backyard and ask Mr. Lu to say hello , don't let him think... our Qiao family doesn't understand etiquette."

Qiao Zheng's words blurted out, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao shook their heads quietly, they tried their best not to cry, for fear that their crying would cause their father to worry even more.

Da Qiao lowered his head, his face full of worry.

Xiao Qiao grabbed his father's hand. "Father, you said... Mr. Lu, if Mr. Lu can save your mother, Mr. Lu will definitely be able to save your mother, right? Right?"

Even though she was holding back her tears, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but shed a few words...

She is a strong girl, but...but facing her mother's serious illness, can she be strong again?
"call…"

With a long breath, Qiao Zheng frowned.

It's been three days, three days of taking the medicine, Madam still hasn't improved, this... this...

In fact, many doctors secretly told Qiao Zheng that even if Lu Yixian prescribed a panacea, it was too late after all, and the hope of resuscitating Mrs. Li was extremely slim.

Thinking of this, it was Qiao Zheng who had always been strong, and at this moment, big tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.

"Girl, dad... Dad just wishes he could suffer this pain for your mother!"

"Your mother...Your mother has never...never lived a good day since she followed me. If God is merciful, he should let me...let me suffer like this!"

"I beg God, please let it go, let my wife go! It's okay to shorten my life!"

Having said this, Qiao Zheng was choked up and unable to speak, but could not stop twitching and trembling while holding Mrs. Li's cold hand.

But at this moment.

A maid behind her seemed to have seen something startling, her mouth was wide open, and it took a long time before... before she opened her mouth and said:
"Master, two ladies...Look quickly, ma'am... ma'am... she has opened her eyes!"

"Open... open your eyes?"

Qiao Zheng suddenly jumped up in disbelief, and his head suddenly turned to Mrs. Li's face.

And the same is true for Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, their faces were extremely surprised, and Li Hua's rainy eyes looked at her mother tightly!

Right at this moment...

Mrs. Li's so familiar voice came out, but it was extremely weak—"I...I'm so thirsty, water...Is there any water?"

"Quick... get water quickly."

The doctor on the side was shocked and hurried forward.

As Lu Yixian's nephew, the uncle has a destiny, and they have been guarding here inseparably these few days.

But for three days... Mrs. Li's symptoms have not been relieved in the slightest, which inevitably makes them extremely worried.

嗏

In their view, the uncle is a medical fairy, and the uncle does it himself, so... no matter what difficult and miscellaneous diseases, it must be cured by hand.

They always have hope and vision.

Finally, finally...

Wake up, Mrs. Li woke up, Master Uncle's medicine is really effective!
Suddenly, the whole dormitory became busy...

"It's amazing, it's amazing..." The maids, servants, and many doctors who came here admiringly, wanting to see Lu Yixian's superb medical skills, exclaimed again and again.

——"Hey, as expected, it was Lu Yixian who administered the medicine himself. It's amazing...it's amazing. This person has been around the gate of hell, and he can... be saved. It's amazing!"

——"Let me just say, who is Lu Yixian? He can not only compile "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases", but also cure typhoid fever and save people from suffering. Minor ailments are nothing to worry about."

——"Yeah, Lu Yixian has never come here for a consultation since he took the medicine. This is full of confidence! This is the confidence that only a medical fairy can have! Even the genius doctor Hua Tuo... also Can't hope to catch up?"

Countless voices of praise resounded throughout the entire Qiao family compound!
Exclaimed again and again, amazed.

On the other hand, Big and Little Joe...

Seeing that my mother's face has returned to a little rosy, and she can drink water and talk as usual... my heart is throbbing.

Immediately afterwards, the two sisters looked at each other tacitly.

There was an unusual gleam in his eyes.

Lu Yixian rescued their mother.

that…

Then they also...should fulfill the promise they had made in their hearts.

Be it a concubine or a maid...

Even if they are slaves and handmaidens, the sisters must enter the Si Nong Mansion together, and the sisters are of the same mind...serving Mr. Lu for the rest of their lives, and never betray him!

This is the tacit understanding that their sisters have formed long ago.

"correct…"

Xiao Qiao seemed to have thought of something, and exclaimed... "I... Shall I invite Lu Yixian?"

Da Qiao also suddenly came back to his senses, "Second Sister, Elder Sister... Elder Sister will go with you!"

Lu Yixian?
call?Or Lu Yixian?
It seems... this pair of sisters should call Lu Yu "Master" in the days to come, right?
This is the title of "master" corresponding to "mother"!
