Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 412 Old?

Only then did Mrs. Wen realize that no wonder she had felt before that this young man seemed to be different from the county and even from Lord Zhang Xiu. It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Chu!
He quickly wanted to take the two children and leave first, giving his husband space to talk in detail with the King of Chu.

Wenpin looked at the gifts in the hands of his two sons and felt a little helpless...

"Didn't I tell you that it's impossible to accept gifts from other people?" Wenpin finally asked his two sons to put down their things with a straight face.

Ordinarily they were just small items, but... Wenpin's actions were undoubtedly a rejection of Bai Tu.

The two children were aggrieved and placed the gifts on the table. However, after Wenxiu hesitated for a moment, he still did not let go of Wenpin's figure. Instead, he said with a "shotai in tears.jpg": "Dad, I can keep it." Would you like this?"

"...No way." Wenpin naturally knew who this was, but he still said with determination.

Bai Tu didn't stop him at this time, but Zhang Chunhua and Lu Lingqi were already showing signs of impatience - neither Pang Degong nor Sima Hui were that big of a deal!

Sure enough, I should have brought fire...

Fortunately, Bai Tu asked Lu Bu not to come into the front hall, otherwise Wen Pin might be beaten.

"Why is it necessary for Zhongye? If the world is uncertain and it is the time for Chu to employ people, why not Zhongye show his talents." Bai Tu said sincerely.

"When I was employed by Master Liu Qi in the king's favor, I could not protect the country and the people, and could not protect the Lord. Later, I wanted to keep Xiangfan for Master Liu Cong, but it was not like the kindness of Liu Jingzhou, but it was difficult to realize... so where There is nothing special about it." Wenpin said without vigor.

If it weren't for Wenpin's appearance of twilight and premature aging at this time, he might have been regarded as "provoking" the authority of Chu State.

After all, according to the official statement, Jingzhou Prefecture voluntarily surrendered to the Chu State, and Wenpin was still talking about "protecting the territory and the people"...

"How was my child's performance in the township school? Can he be admitted to the county school?" Bai Tu asked instead.

Wenpin was also stunned by Bai Tu's quick change of topic, but he still said: "Fortunately, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

"Hey, young Zhongye has been in the army and has been on the battlefield for nearly ten years. So... maybe it's not bad. When they grow up and go to county school or county school, the world will definitely be better than it is now." Bai Tuyi It's like a side effect.

"Pin is ashamed." Wenpin said with a wrinkled face.

Wenpin showed more resistance to Cao Cao than ever before - not against Baitu, but against continuing to be a general.

The main reason was that when he and Liu Qi led troops in Jiangxia, although it was Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's deliberate indulgence, the consecutive victories at that time really made Wenpin have a great sense of identification with Liu Qi...

Now that Liu Qi has been killed and Liu Cong has returned directly to Chu, Wenpin wants to be loyal, but has no one to be loyal to. He wants revenge, but he can also see what the people want. His whole person is tortured by a sense of powerlessness and contradiction.

"Why did Zhongye join the army in the first place? For Liu Jingzhou's appreciation? I've been walking around before. People call him Erlang of the Wen family. But when Yuan Shu left Nanyang and rebelled against the countryside, he was elected by the brave people of the village. The leader, who protected the village when the rebels were rampant." Bai Tu turned to talk about what he had heard before.

"Pin is old. He doesn't know why he fought, and he disappointed the king." Wenpin said dullly.

"Old? No one will grow old by living a few more years. People grow old just because they abandon the ideals of their youth! I don't know why I fight..." Bai Tu stood up excitedly and walked to the window to close the window. Push away.

"Then look outside! There are farmers cultivating the fields, workers working in workshops to support their families, women weaving and cooking at home, children studying in the countryside, smoke curling from cooking stoves, singing and dancing... Naturally, there must be people who fight and protect these things! Nowadays, evil spirits are everywhere and the world is uncertain. You tell me you don’t know why you are fighting?”

Outside the window, all he could actually see was the old concierge carefully staring at Lu Bu from a distance. He couldn't see the fields at all, let alone the workshop.

But... the atmosphere is always right!
After Wenpin heard Bai Tu's words, his head was lowered and his clenched hands couldn't help but tremble. He was obviously very confused.

At this moment, Bai Tu said: "I will take the others away, and this... keep it for the two young masters. If Zhongye can't stand it, just throw it away... Wancheng will have a new recruit next month. The 3000 new recruits, and the position of General Yijun, I will reserve for you until next month. If you want to know it clearly, go to Wancheng to take up the post before next month and train troops on the spot."

Bai Tu only pointed at the remaining Wenpin figurines...

Only when talking about official business, Bai Tu would call himself "my king".

After saying this, Bai Tu turned around and left, knowing that forcing Wenpin to express his position on the spot would have no results.

After returning to Wancheng, Bai Tu heard the secret report and knew that Cao Bang had left with Yang Xiu and others, and he couldn't help but feel even more sad.

However, what Bai Tu didn't expect was that the very next day, he would hear news about Cao Bang again...

Originally, Bai Tuzheng and Zhang Xiu were reviewing the Nanyang Army. At this moment, an urgent military situation suddenly came!
"Send it up." Bai Tu saw the scouts coming on horses and quickly asked Su Wei to let him go.

Because it was a message transmitted by the signal tower, the content was written very concisely. After reading the picture, Bai Tu couldn't help but his face darkened, and he handed the emergency report to Zhang Xiu beside him.

Originally, looking at Bai Tu's expression, Zhang Xiu thought that someone was trying to kill and tease Chu, but after looking at the military situation, he realized that it had little to do with Chu.

It was Yang Feng who sent troops to attack Xu County!

In fact, it is more appropriate to say it is an attack rather than a recovery and takeover. After all, Xu County was originally at a stage where it was about to be abandoned by Wei.

If they hadn't caught up with Cao Bang and Yang Xiu on the road this time, perhaps there wouldn't have been any battle at all!
However, Yang Feng did not expect that he originally thought that the "recovery" would be a matter of course, but when he arrived at the city, he found that Xia Houyuan was in Xu County...

As one of the best figures in Wei Guojun, Xia Houyuan appeared in Xu County, which was about to be abandoned?

Yang Feng couldn't understand this operation at all!
Wei Guo wants to steal the chicken by surprise?
But it is true that Xu County still only has the pitiful three to five thousand defenders...

Could it be that Xia Houyuan just took a vacation to travel?

However, Xia Houyuan was not idle. He actually directly took over the military power in Xucheng, and even took the initiative to attack and defeat Yang Feng's former army that was raiding Xu County!

In fact, Bai Tu didn't understand why Xia Houyuan appeared in Xu County, but he did know why Xia Houyuan went against Wei's overall strategy and attacked rashly - Cao Bang, Yang Xiu and others were still returning to Xucheng at this time. On the way.

If Yang Feng is allowed to act recklessly, it is likely to affect them. Although there are some guards in the team, their scale can only prevent bandits.

Even though he didn't know Cao Bang's true identity, Bai Tu was just a little surprised. Xia Houyuan only valued love and righteousness, and he rashly went to war with Yang Feng for his distant nephew!
After reading the battle report, Zhang Xiu felt puzzled. Is this nothing to do with us?
What did the king do with a dark face before?
"Yang Feng has not changed his traitorous nature and acted recklessly. He attacked our envoys from Chu and Wei. It is really abominable!" Bai Tu said fiercely.

Zhang Xiu:? ? ?
Zhang Xiu doesn't understand this logic very well. Ordinarily... Cao Bangdu left Wancheng, and then unless someone secretly intercepted or framed him, he was involved in the war between the forces of the Han Dynasty and the Wei State on the way. What does this have to do with the Chu State? ?
But it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it logically, it doesn’t affect Zhang Xiu’s reaction speed!

"Yang Feng is a dog thief, his crime will not be forgiven... Xiu please fight!"
