Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 502 The sixth year of Guanghe, this is the 16th year of my reign
Xu Capital City, a restaurant, private room on the third floor.

——"Danji is picked by Huahua, and the two distances are like sharp edges. I wish to show off my might and fight in the Tang Dynasty."

A young man in his twenties, holding two chickens in his hands, walked into the Accord with great strides, reciting poems.

The poem he sang is called "Cockfighting Poem", which combines the description of the cock's distance, eyes, tail, and wings with its movements of standing, stepping, flapping, and jumping.

It not only expresses the majesty of the chicken, but also implies the fierceness of the fighting scene.

His name is Liu Zhen, his style name is Gonggan, and he was born in Ningyang, Dongping.

Seven years ago, he hid in Xudu with his mother and brother to avoid the war, and met two brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi in the posthouse.

After that, he served as the chief Bo under Cao Cao's command.

During this period, letterheads were widely distributed, and Wang Can of Shanyang, Xu Gan of Beihai, Ruan Yu of Chen Liu, Ying Ju of Runan and others were invited to Xudu, forming a special literary group, and even reshaping the Hongdu Literature Museum. Xu Du Taixue is another place where scholars in the world belong.

He and Cao Pi have a tacit understanding and are regarded as brothers.

No, today Cao Pi invited him to talk, and he specially came with two chickens from his hometown.

Cao Pi has been waiting in it for a long time, and it seems that he has been waiting for him for a long time.

Seeing him enter the door, Cao Pi raised his head subconsciously, but his expression was a bit complicated, as if he had something on his mind. "Sharp claws pierce the jade, and angry eyes are full of fire. The long curls are startled by the wind, and the strength is stretched. The beak is hooked lightly, and the electric shock returns!"

Cao Pi recited the second half of Liu Zhen's "Cockfighting Poem", and immediately ordered his servants to take the two chickens and send them back to the prime minister's residence.

After the servant left, Cao Pi opened his mouth and said.

"Brother Gonggan's "Cockfighting Poetry" is wonderfully written. The chicken must be a good chicken, but the fight between the two chickens is so fierce. What if it was changed to... a battle between the sons? It must be ten times more dangerous than this fighting cock, right?"

listen to listen...

Cao Pi's words blurted out, and Liu Zhen figured out something.

of course.

He didn't know that Cao Pi overheard the conversation between Cao Cao and Cao Ang.

Knowing that Cao Ang's character of "benevolence, filial piety and kindness" basically missed the position of son, and because of this, Cao Pi's heart was surging.

Cao Ang is out, does that mean he also has a chance?
"The second son is considering the dispute between the sons of the Yuan family in the north?"

Liu Zhen clicked his mouth, and he asked tentatively. "It's right for the Yuan family's foundation to be ruined once, and the way of destroying the elders to establish the younger ones is to bring disaster, not to mention passing on the younger son, but leaving the army to the eldest son? Yuan Benchu ​​is really confused!"

This…

Don't answer the question!

Cao Pi frowned. "Brother Gonggan, I invited you here today not to discuss the dispute between the sons of the northern border, but... but..."

When the words came to his lips, Cao Pi was a little hard to say...

He didn't know what to say.

"But what?" Liu Zhen asked anxiously.

Ugh…

Cao Pi sighed, and simply recounted the conversation between his father Cao Cao and his elder brother Cao Ang at noon.

Speaking of it, it was only two hours before Cao Pi heard this, it was fresh out of the oven, and it was like a thorn in his throat!

He can only have a good discussion with someone he can trust.

And Cao Pi can trust him, there are only two people, one is this Liu Zhen, and the other is the son of Qin Yilu and Mrs. Du, the adopted son of his father Cao Cao-Qin Lang!
They are the so-called own people in Cao Pi's eyes!
hiss…

After Cao Pi finished speaking, Liu Zhen's eyes rolled again and again, and finally... he got up quickly and closed all the windows and doors of the private room.

Then he frowned, squinted his eyes, and carefully knelt down beside Cao Pi.

"The second son wants to fight for this son?"

this…

Cao Pi was in a bit of a dilemma. If he said he didn't want to fight, it would be against his will, but if he said he wanted to fight, no one would be able to tell that his father loves his brother Cao Chong the most...

In addition, Cao Chong is indeed extremely intelligent. When it comes to wisdom and agility, he is ten times better than Cao Pi?
If he enters Taixue again, he will imitate Zijian and get Lu Yu to instruct him, and make great achievements... It is hard to imagine that Lu Yu will be assisted in the future. Who will have a chance for the other brothers?
Therefore... Cao Pi remained silent, not knowing how to answer.

But Liu Zhen seemed determined to break the casserole and ask the end. "If Second Young Master doesn't even dare to speak out, then... how can we fight?"

"Who doesn't want to fight!" Cao Pi finally spoke. "In today's situation, fighting for the son is like fighting for the world. The opportunity is right in front of you. That position is too... so tempting!"

Cao Pi couldn't say this even if he was two years older.

Forbearance is Cao Pi's greatest characteristic, but... now that he is young, besides forbearance, he still has a lot of drive!
Hearing this, Liu Zhen paced back and forth, squinting his eyes, as if he was thinking...

It also seemed that he was going through the whole thing completely.

Including Cao Chong, including Cao Ang, including Cao Pi.

"Tap..."

"Tap..."

The continuous sound of footsteps came out continuously, and these sounds made Cao Pi's heart flutter.

"Brother Gonggan, brother Gonggan, you...you have an idea!"

tread…

Blunting these words, Liu Zhen stopped in his tracks, his eyeballs must be, he figured it out. "If, if Second Young Master really wants to take this step, then he needs another person, not... the help of two other people."

Before Liu Zhen finished speaking, Cao Pi immediately replied. "I know one of them is Lu Ziyu, and now my father trusts him the most. Which son he stands for, the odds of winning will be doubled!"

"Not bad!" Liu Zhen nodded.

No matter which young master wants to compete for the son, he can't get around Lu Yu.

Lu Yu is the doctor of imperial history, who is in charge of the school affairs office and supervises all officials.

It is no exaggeration to say that he holds the wealth and lives of all officials in his hands, life and death.

In addition, his Long Xiao Battalion is the most elite soldier in Cao Ying, his "big brother" Xiahou Dun holds the largest number of infantry in Cao Ying, and his "prospective father-in-law" Xia Houyuan holds the "Leopard Rider" in his hand. Having said that, the key...he is still Cao Cao's closest clan brother!
Not to mention Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu...

These Shangshutai officials are inextricably linked with him.

In Cao Yingzhong... there are countless generals involved with him!

And Hanting...

How sensitive is the position of the eldest son of the Cao family?Han Ting's support is also crucial, and the princess of Han Ting will soon become Lu Yu's first wife.

And Taixue, the leader of the scholars in the world!

There is also the forge, the leader of the world's craftsmen!

There is also the Medical Office, and the title of Immortal Doctor. This is the leader of the world's doctors, and the beacon in the hearts of the typhoid patients who have been rescued!

Even the financial power of the big man is in his hands!

Once he got his support, it was equivalent to smooth sailing on the issue of money and food!
It is not an exaggeration to say that in Liu Zhen's view, if Lu Yu's surname was not Lu, Cao, or Xiahou, he would be a sure and secure son.

Of course, this assumption does not exist, so if the second son Cao Pi wants to fight for the heir, the first thing he wants to win is his support.

Cao Pi and Liu Zhen are well aware of this.

"Brother Gong, who is the second person to help?"

Cao Pi couldn't help but continue to ask.

Liu Zhen's eyes narrowed in an instant, "You can be regarded as an old friend of mine. If you want to achieve great things, young master, you need his help!"

"How does this talent compare with Brother Gonggan?"

Cao Pi continued to ask.

"Ten times better than me!" Liu Zhen whispered. "Smart as Mr. Cao Chong, I'm afraid I can't compare to him!"

call…

Cao Pi exhaled, his ears almost pricked up.

"Brother Gonggan, don't be a fool, hurry up... tell me his name!"

"Haha..." Liu Zhen motioned for Cao Pi to put his ear closer, and Cao Pi followed suit.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a name, a two-character name!
hiss?
he?Is it done?

...

...

Bingzhou, Yanmen.

The vast yellow sand and the vast desert.

Lu Bu, Lu Lingqi, and Yang Xiu were all dressed in casual clothes, but outside the gate of Yanmen County, Gongsun Zan, Qu Yi, Zhang Yan, and Tian Yu had long been guarding the gate.

"General Shadow...Young Master Yang, you guys are back."

They bowed their hands to Lu Bu and Yang Xiu.

Lu Lingqi is a woman disguised as a man, of course...even if she is dressed as a woman, no one here knows her except Yang Xiu.

"Is everything all right?"

Lu Ying opened her mouth and asked.

"Everything is fine." Tian Yu told Lu Bu about Yuan Jun's defense situation, "Yuan Shang sent [-] Han Meng and Chen soldiers to station at Hukou Pass. It seems that he has let Bingzhou go. Just make sure we can't reach Jizhou. The rest are ignored, that is why, recently, several states and counties around Yanmen have surrendered to us, and the situation is beneficial to our army."

Speaking of here…

Lu Bu nodded. "Is there any rash action on the Southern Huns?"

"No!" This time it was Gongsun Zan who answered. The generals who stayed behind in Bingzhou had a clear division of labor. Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army and Qu Yi's Xiandeng dead men were responsible for collecting the surrendered states and counties, and Gongsun Zan reorganized the Baima Yicong. Guarding outside Yanmen is more important to guard against the actions of Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Southern Huns.

Especially the Southern Xiongnu, their territory is closely connected with Bingzhou... One bad thing, this rebel army will be backstabbed by this group of prairie wolves!
"Since the official road between the Southern Huns and Hanoi was opened, under the management of Zhen Jiang, the daughter of Zhen's parents, countless five stones were sent to the Southern Huns, and the Southern Huns transported countless cattle, sheep and horses to Hanoi, and the border was stable. , and even the Southern Huns would take the initiative to tell us the information about Yuan Jun that they detected."

puff…

When Gongsun Zan said this, Yang Xiu was the first to laugh when Lu Bu was fine.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Bu turned his head and glanced at him.

"General Shadow..." Yang Xiu spread his hands, he knew Lu Bu's temperament thoroughly and got used to it. "I'm thinking that Fang Tian's painted halberd, the shadow general, is invincible in the world, but, to calm the troubles here, the little five stone powder is as effective as Fang Tian's painted halberd!"

Speaking of this, Yang Xiu raised his head and asked everyone.

"Isn't it?"

"Yes!" Gongsun Zan was the first to agree. "I have been stationed at the border for half my life, and Baima Yicong has also made the Hu people in the frontier terrified. But today, it is the first time that the Hu people from the land outside the fortress not only did not go south to attack us, but gave us a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses. Ha ha…"

"The key is that these five stone powder will make them more and more dependent, and their bodies will become more and more weak. In this way, the time to recover the frontier fortress will come within ten or eight years! At that time, we don't need to follow the example of that strong Hou Weiqing and the champion Hou Huo Qubing only need a hundred riders, and as long as they control the five stones, beyond this frontier, the Hu tribe is bound to surrender!"

Speaking of this, Gongsun Zan thought of the past, when Xia Yu and Tian Ying led [-] troops to attack Xianbei, but they were ambushed by Xianbei and the Southern Huns, and returned in a complete defeat. Not enough soldiers fled back to Yanmen. ten thousand!
How miserable was that battle?Since then, the big man has never taken the initiative to attack the Hulu!This has also become the eternal hatred of that generation of frontier people!
But... Now, because of the five stone powder, what Xia Yu and Tian Ying led the [-] Han Ting and Northern Army failed to do, their generation is expected to complete it!
The feat of Dragon City Flying General and Feng Lang Juxu is expected to be staged again!
Whenever he thought of this, Gongsun Zan's heart throbbed endlessly!

He paused.

He continued: "Commander Lu's deployment really dazzled me, who has been guarding the border for half my life, and threw myself into the ground. I, Gongsun Zanping, think highly of myself and have never convinced others, but today I really convinced Commander Lu!"

"Ha ha…"

Yang Xiu laughed. "It's no wonder General Gongsun speaks like this. It's easy to kill people, but hard to attack their hearts. The small five stones are exchanged for the self-willed depravity of the Hu people, thousands of cattle and sheep, and countless horses for the Hu people. Not only General Gongsun admires Commander Lu , even as a disciple, I also admire my teacher's five-body admiration!"

here...

Gongsun Zan and Yang Xiu praised Lu Yu from the bottom of their hearts, while on the other side... Lu Lingqi who was on the horse curled her lips.

It seems that there is a throbbing in my heart... Or, this throbbing is a kind of unwillingness!
According to what my father said, originally, Commander Lu and Master Lu, who were praised by everyone, were her husband!

What now?
Lu Lingqi shook her head, she didn't know whether she missed it or paid by mistake!

"All right…"

Lu Bu opened his mouth and said, "Since the Yuan family gave up Bingzhou, we don't have to be modest, we just need to capture all of Bingzhou! As for the Hukou Pass where Han Meng is stationed, I will go and capture it myself!"

"Well..."

Lu Bu blurted out these words, and a group of generals surrendered!
Are they just waiting for General Shadow's words?

In Bingzhou, the offensive and defensive trends are different!
"Da da da…"

With the sound of horseshoes, a group of people drove into the gate of Yanmen County.

It was Zhang Yan, who had gotten some rumors recently, so he rode his horse at the end and chatted with Yang Xiu.

"Mr. Yang? You are telling me, General Ying is so eager to attack Hukou Pass? Why?"

this…

Yang Xiu rolled his eyes. "General Feiyan, why don't you ask General Ying?"

"It seems that he is not in a good mood." Zhang Yan moaned, but the next sentence changed the topic. "Mr. Yang, is General Ying's actions related to Baimahou's wedding? General Ying wants to merge the state and use Hukou Pass as a congratulatory gift to celebrate Baimahou's wedding?"

hiss…

Yang Xiu gasped at these words, even if he was on the horse, he quickly covered Zhang Yan's mouth.

How dare you mention Marquis Baima's wedding...

Ha ha…

Yang Xiu just hehe.

Others don't know, but Yang Xiu knows best why Lu Bu is in a bad mood?Isn't it because his daughter who caused trouble was eliminated from the selection of the wife of the Marquis Mansion?

Zhang Yan's words... If Lu Bu heard it, Yang Xiu would not doubt it, he would be beaten in an ugly way!

Of course…

Neither Yang Xiu nor Zhang Yan would know that the reason why Lu Bu was in a hurry to break down Hukou Pass was not to celebrate Lu Yu's wedding?

Mrs. Hou Fu is not his daughter. Does his wedding have a hammer relationship with Lu Bu?

Lu Bu wants to open the door to the east of Bingzhou!

Just like... the battlefield at the Yellow River, only by breaking through the Liyang defense line north of the Yellow River can Cao Ying truly open the door to the north!

Lu Bu wants to go to Feilong Mountain in Changshan County earlier to have a showdown with that old dog Tong Yuan!
The death of Brother Bian Bian was one of them!

The daughter got into trouble, and the daughter was kicked out of the ranks of the marquis of the Hou Mansion, this pot, the special Tong Yuan will not bear it?Who will carry it?
Every time I think of it.

Lu Bu felt his back molars clucking, and a gleam of light was released from his eyes, a ray of light that could almost burn people out!
--kill!

—Kill that old dog!

Xu Capital City, Imperial Palace, Jianzhang Palace.

Speaking of it, the Jianzhang Palace got its name from Emperor Wu, and its construction is related to Emperor Wu's psychology of seeking immortality.

At that time, Emperor Wu built Jianzhang Palace in the west of Chang'an City, excavated Taiye Pool, and built three mountains in it to symbolize the fairy mountains of the East China Sea. Therefore... Although the scale of Jianzhang Palace is not as large as Weiyang Palace, the garden scenery of Jianzhang Palace is far better than Weiyang palace.

And later, the royal archives, such as the emperor's daily life record, are displayed here.

And the imperial palace in Luoyang City, Jianzhang Palace is analogous to Chang'an...

The imperial palace in Xudu City has been preserved as the Jianzhang Palace.

at this time…

The wooden floor in Jianzhang Palace was trampled, and the emperor Liu Xie was pacing anxiously in the study with his hands behind his hands, holding the late emperor's daily life record in his hands.

Every time I read an article, I would hesitate for a while, then sigh "ah", turn around and continue pacing!

A group of little Huangmen followed him closely with lights in their hands...

again and again...

Finally, with a sound of "stepping", Liu Xie stopped, his eyes fixed on an item in the daily record.

And his eyes widened in an instant... as if he saw something terrible!

"Hurry up and pass on the queen!"

"Here"

Xiao Huangmen agreed, and hurriedly withdrew.

And the emperor Liu Xie let out a long breath with a "hoo".

Then, Zhang Mouth sighed.

"As my brother-in-law said, father, he...he..."

Liu Xie didn't say what he said next.

But his eyes were fixed on the words on the daily record... The first emperor liked to lock himself in the house alone, then pace, meditate, and write what he read in his heart on the bamboo slips.

As for…

The content on this bamboo slip.

Liu Xie moved his eyes to the corresponding bamboo slips...

This is written by his father Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of Han!
"—Six years of Guanghe, this is the No. 16 year of my reign!"

"This year, there was a severe drought in summer; in autumn, the Jincheng River overflowed; the Wuyuan mountain bank collapsed... in winter, the ice in the Donghai, Donglai, and Langye Wells was more than a foot thick! Drought, flood and ice disasters came together, and the lives of the people of the Han Dynasty became more and more difficult. !"

"Hehe, as everyone knows, during the 15 years I have been in power, this kind of phenomenon has happened almost every year!"

...

——"In the first month of the third year of Jianning, there was a famine in Henan and Hanoi, and the couple ate each other."

——"In February of the fourth year of Jianning, there was an earthquake, the sea overflowed, and the river water was clear;

——"In the first month of the second year of Xiping, there was a great epidemic!"

——"In the autumn of the third year of Xiping, Luoshui flooded!

——"In June of the fourth year of Xiping, the land of Sanfu was plagued by insects!"

——"In summer and April of the sixth year of Xiping, locusts in Qizhou, in August Xinchou Jingshi earthquake..."

——"In February and April of the seventh year of Xiping, there were two earthquakes..."

——"In the spring of the second year of Guanghe, there was another major epidemic. In March, there was an earthquake in Jingzhao."

——"In the autumn of the third year of Guanghe, the Jiuquan Earthquake occurred."

——"In June of the fourth year of Guanghe, in the scorching summer, the hail was as big as a chicken."

"I have changed the yuan to "Jianning", "Xiping", and "Guanghe", and I have used the auspicious characters to pray to God to hang down the curtain. I have sent eunuchs in the palace to bring medicine to visit and treat many times, and even amnesty the world as many as [-] times!"

"But, why... things backfired, and the country's affairs are still in turmoil! The world is going downhill?"

...

between the lines...

Liu Xie read four words from his father's words - it's too difficult for me!
...
