Chapter 194 Shooting a Deer (4)(1/2)
Remember [】/manghuangji in one second to provide you with wonderful novel readings.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yingchuan, as the hinterland of the Central Plains, was a brilliant place and had many talented people.
From the first four chiefs of Yingchuan and the eight dragons of Xun family, they were all first-class people. By the Three Kingdoms period, after Xun Yu, a group of poor scholars emerged, becoming the leader of the time. Among them, Guo Jia was considered a representative of the poor family. But in addition to Guo Jia, there were also the "Four Friends of Zhuge" and were well-known all over the world.
The four friends of Zhuge are Cui Jun and Cui Zhouping, Shi Tao and Shi Guangyuan, Meng Jian and Meng Gongwei, and Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi.
Among them, except that Cui Jun is not from Yuzhou, Meng Jian is from Runan County, while Shi Tao and Xu Shu are from Yingchuan...
Perhaps, many people in later generations do not know Cui Jun, Meng Jian and Shi Tao, but when it comes to Xu Shu, I think many people will not feel strange.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Xinye's record of breaking the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation made many people familiar with Xu Shu.
Later, Cao Cao planned to deceive Xu's mother. Xu Shu was in Cao's camp and was in Han. He did not make any plans for Cao Cao throughout his life, and became a discussion between the United States and the United States of America in later generations.
However, as far as Liu Chuang knows, there are too many imaginary components in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The reason why Xu Shu defected to Liu Bei was indeed because Xu's mother was captured by Cao Cao. However, it was not that Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu to imitate Xu Shu's handwriting and deceive Xu's mother into Cao's camp. Historical records show that Liu Bei was defeated by Changbanpo, and Xu's mother was captured by Cao Cao. Xu Shu had no choice but to say goodbye to Liu Bei and said: I wanted to work with the general to seek the cause of kings and dominance, but it was a place of magnitude. Now I have lost my mother and it is in chaos. It is useless to do anything. Please leave now.
This small place refers to Xu Shu's heart.
Liu Chuang always felt that the reason why Xu Shu left Liu Bei was probably dissatisfied with Liu Bei.
Otherwise, he could leave without taking Shi Tao to join Cao Cao.
Na Shi Tao had a very good relationship with Xu Shu. He served as the prefect of the county, Diannong, and later became the chief censor...
"Hengruo, after you arrived in Yingchuan, ask me for someone.
This person's name is Xu Shu, and he was previously named Xu Fu. I remember that during the Zhongping period, he was arrested by the government because of revenge... Later, he abandoned his sword and studied, and turned to the school. It was probably during the Chuping period that the Central Plains were in a melee. Xu Shu traveled south to Jingzhou. After you arrived in Yingchuan, you will find this person for me. He may not be in Yingchuan now, but his mother must be in Yingchuan. I want you to help me find her."
Xiahou Lan was stunned and nodded in agreement.
"In addition, this person has a good relationship with Shi Tao, Yingchuan County. Although Shi Tao and Shi Guangyuan are not in Yingchuan now, it is also a clue."
"Don't worry, young master, I will find this person for you."
"Slowly, after you find out about Xu Shu's mother, don't come to disturb me. Just take care of me in secret."
Xiahou Lan didn't quite understand what Liu Chuang meant, but since Liu Chuang told him that, he naturally took the order and left.
"Brother Meng Yan, is this Xu Shu very powerful?"
Zhuge Liang listened aside and couldn't help asking.
Awesome?
I have no idea……
Many of the stories in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are not credible, so Liu Chuang was not very clear about how talented Xu Shu was. However, since he could leave a name in history books, he thought it was not a simple character. What's more, the Four Friends of Zhuge... Now Cui Jun and Cui Zhouping are studying in Nanshan Academy. They are also from Zhuge Liang, and they are both studying under Zheng Xuan's school. Since there is a Cui Zhouping, Liu Chuang wants to find the "Four Friends of Zhuge Liang" to accompany Zhuge Liang. In the original history, the Four Friends of Zhuge Liang should be an extremely important figure in Zhuge Liang's growth stage. Although he now has many friends in Nanshan Academy, Liu Chuang does not want him to lack such a process.
"This person is quite talented.
Although Kong Ming is extremely talented, he is still a man's power and is difficult to cover everything.
Xu Yuanzhi is older than you. He was good at fencing in his early years. Later, he abandoned his sword and studied. He experienced ups and downs. He could not make up for your shortcomings. If I could bring this person, I hope you can get along well with him. Don’t be contemptuous because of his humble background.”
Even now, Liu Chuang is worried that Zhuge Liang will embark on the old path of devoted himself to his work.
He didn't want Zhuge Liang to devote himself to his work, as long as he could control the overall situation for himself... And people like Xu Shu will definitely become Zhuge Liang's good helpers in the future. I believe that when these people are together, Zhuge Liang can burst out with more powerful energy than in history.
Zhuge Liang widened his eyes and showed a confused look.
He didn't understand why Liu Chuang found such a person, but he believed that what Liu Chuang did must be good for him.
"Brother Meng Yan, don't worry, Kong Ming knows what to do."
Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing, and reached out to rub Zhuge Liang's head, his eyes full of hope.
Kongming, Kongming, when will you truly grow up and show your outstanding talent of "wiser than demon"?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Du Ji naturally had no complaints about Liu Chuang's arrangements.
He also knew Liu Chuang’s current situation, and it was a big deal to bury his parents together. How could a son not take any effort?
Now, Du Ji eats Liu Chuang and lives in Liu Chuang, so he naturally has to do his best for Liu Chuang. The next day, he and Xiahou Lan set off with fifty flying bears and went to Yingchuan to welcome Liu Tao's coffin. In addition, he also chose a Feng Shui treasure land in Yingchuan and buried Liu Tao and his wife together.
Cao Cao also understood this.
He even felt a little sorry for Liu Chuang, so he ordered Xiahou Yuan, the prefect of Yingchuan County, and officials from all walks of life to assist Du Ji and others in doing things.
Of course, Xun Yu and Zhong Yao also sent people back and asked someone to give convenience to Du Ji and others.
Time passes quietly.
Seeing that the tenth day of the lunar month came, Xu Tian was imminent to conquer him.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, it rained lightly overnight.
By the second day, the rain came and the sky was clear.
Before dawn, Tiancun, twenty miles away from Xudu, was waving flags and crowded.
In order to conquer this time, Cao Cao mobilized all the soldiers and horses around Xudu, and nearly 30,000 people stationed outside Xudu City. The Han Emperor crossed the Xiaoyao horse, carried treasure bows, golden arrows, and left the city. Cao Cao even rode his claws and Huang Feidian, leading his generals to follow the Han Emperor.
The claws were flying yellow and lightning. The whole body was snow-white, and the four hooves had yellow manes. Under the morning light, they shone with golden luster, and were arrogant and arrogant.
This horse is also Cao Cao's favorite BMW.
In terms of bloodline, it is almost the same as Liu Chuang's elephant dragon.
It is said that the claw Huang Feidian is also a sweat-blooded BMW... However, when it runs, it does not mean that bloody sweat is shed, but that its skin will have a touch of blood. From a distance, it looks like bloody sweat is flowing, which is extremely magical.
As a royal family, Liu Chuang was named by Emperor Han to accompany him to guard him.
Therefore, Liu Chuang and Cao Cao almost walked side by side, with Liu Chuang's three hundred flying bear cavalry and Cao Cao's elite tiger and leopard cavalry. Both cavalry teams were wearing black iron armor, exuding a solemn and murderous aura. Cao Cao couldn't help but admire the three hundred flying bear cavalry.
"Meng Yan's iron cavalry can be called a sharp man."
A look of pride appeared on Liu Chuang's face.
"But I wonder if I can compare with my superior Kong Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"
Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't help laughing: "Since Meng Yan spoke, it's better to have a competition."
"oh?"
Liu Chuang raised his eyebrows, "Dare you ask Sikong, how to compete?"
"It's very simple. Let's compare and see who will gain more.
Meng Yan, whoever wins will do something for the other party. This request is probably not an exaggeration. I wonder if Meng Yan dares to agree?"
"That's a competition."
The two of them walked together, one was tall and tall, and the other was short.
Zhong Yao, who followed the civil and military officials, couldn't help but say to someone beside him: "Gongda, if Meng Yan had been born twenty years ago, I will do my best to help him."
Xun You was stunned and turned his eyes to Liu Chuang and Cao Cao.
In the morning light, the two seemingly disharmonious backs, for some reason, give people a wonderful feeling.
Xun You narrowed his eyes into a slit and said softly: "It doesn't take twenty years. If Ziqi is still there, even if Meng Yan is young, I will help him."
After saying that, he looked at Zhong Yao, and a glimmer of indescribable light flashed in his eyes.
"Yuan Chang, can Meng Yan really surrender to others?"
Zhong Yao's body trembled, and a trace of entanglement appeared on his face.
"If Meng Yan really wants to leave in the future, are you going to help him or not?"
"Kongda, what about you?"
Xun You whispered: "I, Xun's family, can only have two uncles, so why bother with me?"
Since ancient times, the way for aristocratic families to survive is in one sentence: cast a net universally and focus on fishing.
Now, the Xun family seems to be putting all the bets on Cao Cao. Xun Yan, Xun Yu, and Xun You all play under Cao Cao's sect... But in fact, they have another bet, which is Xun Chen. So whether Cao Cao wins or loses, the Xun family can continue. But the Zhong family has only one choice so far, that is Cao Cao. Of course, this is also as small as the Zhong family.
Even if Zhong Yao is willing to cast a net, he doesn’t have that many resources.
Xun You's words made Zhong Yao hesitate.
After pondering for a long time, he whispered: "Ruoyi Gongda, what should I do?"
"I think the public assistance is good!"
Zhong Yao was stunned and nodded slightly.
The person Xun You mentioned was Guo Yuan, the nephew of Zhong Yao. Although Guo Yuan was not a child of the Zhong family, he also had a close relationship with the Zhong family.
Little did they know that in history, Guo Yuan eventually defected to Yuan Shang.
In the seventh year of Jian'an, Yuan Shang ordered Guo Yuan, Hu Chuquan and the high-ranking officials to attack Hedong.
Wherever Guo Yuan passed, the cities and towns were all down, almost like sweeping. Unfortunately, Cao Cao sent Zhong Yao to besiege Huchuquan and forced Guo Yuan to return to rescue him. Zhong Yao knew this nephew very well. So he joined forces with Ma Teng and attacked him while Guo Yuan crossed the river.
In the end, Guo Yuan was killed by Pang De, and Zhong Yao cried when he saw Guo Yuan's head.
Now that Xun You mentioned Guo Yuan, Zhong Yao couldn't help but be moved. Xun You said it right. How could Liu Chuang be so arrogant, so how could he be willing to join Cao Cao's troops? If he wanted to escape, would he help him? Or would he not? This not only involves family affection, but also may determine the rise and fall of the family. Zhong Yao's optimistic about Cao Cao does not mean that he put all his bets on Cao Cao.
