Shu Chen

Chapter 328
Filled with puzzlement, Zheng Pu slowly walked into the hall and sat down, and asked his servant Zheng Yi to bring in Deng Zhi's retinue.

"Under the command of General Empress Dowager Sima, I met Zheng Hujun. The latter general supervised Jiangzhou and was also in charge of the military affairs of Fuling County. A month and a half ago, I was informed by the lieutenant of Fuling County, claiming that there was a strong man from Wu County who claimed to be the Hujun in Jiangdong. It was inconvenient for the guards recruited by Yin recruits to travel together because they were escorted by Wu soldiers, so they did not go to Shu from Fuling. After the general got the report, he talked with the strong man overnight, and ordered me to come to Chengdu along the post to guard him. Guards meet."

A military man dressed in simple military uniform, about forty years old, strode in without waiting for Zheng Pu to ask questions, and after giving a military salute, he talked endlessly, explaining everything from the beginning to the end, winning the capable style of being in the army .

After saying that, he moved very slowly, pulled off the military badge around his waist and a piece of cloth in a bamboo tube and put it on the ground, took a step back and said again, "This is the badge of the next army and the general's Please also ask the guards to verify the letter."

He was so careful that he even thought about the suspicion of an assassin who "seemed poorly".

"good!"

Zheng Pu, who was at the top of the case, couldn't help but clapped his hands in praise, nodded and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, general and Sima."

But the servant Qiyacuo standing beside him didn't need Zheng Pu's instructions, so he stepped forward with the same heart, first picked up the military card and read it carefully, and then returned it to the general with a smile, before enshrining the letter to Zheng Pu Take a look.

Deng Zhi's letters are recorded in only a few words.

Said: "I tried to serve Wu, and I know a little about the people in Wujun. I talked with this Shen family son and tried it with words. There is no error in his answer. It is not like Wu master's detailed work. Moreover, it was the Han-Wu alliance, and there was nothing in Jiangdong. To seek the heart of a great man, I sent someone to send it, and I hope you will check it yourself."

Could it be that my so-called aide is a talented person recruited by Chen Zhi who is still in Jiangdong in my name?
After reading Deng Zhi's letter, Zheng Pu thought to himself.

Now that Deng Zhi, who has experienced many ups and downs and has seen countless people, claims that this person is not a murderer, he can let go of his previous guess - when he heard that the visitor was from Wu County, he thought it was Lu Xun who revealed the favoritism he planned. Therefore, Sun Quan, who became angry from embarrassment, sent the dead to assassinate him!

"Sima traveled all the way, it was very hard."

Zheng Pu, who was in a slightly slower state of mind, smiled like a spring breeze, and stretched out his hand to lure, "Let's go with my servant to another room for a rest, and the wine and meat will be served later."

"Don't dare to disturb the guards."

But when Sima heard the words, he saluted and declined, "I am from Guangdu, so I was ordered to come back this time, and the general later allowed me to rest for ten days. After being in the army for a long time, it is inevitable that I feel homesick, and this matter is over. Also ask the guards to allow me to say goodbye and go back."

Hey, there is no idea of ​​getting acquainted with me?
Oh, very good!

Slightly surprised, Zheng Pu smiled, "Forget it. It's rare for us in the army to get together with our wives and children. As Sima said, I don't want to force him to stay. But Sima is tired all the way, so let me give you some rituals Just express your heart." Paused for a while, fearing that he would refuse, he added, "I am not Shi En and Sima, but Jia Sima's loyal ear for the country's defense! Don't refuse."

"Hehe~~~"

The Sima couldn't help grinning when he heard this, and he didn't refuse, "It's disrespectful, thank you for your gift."

Then he left under the guidance of Zheng Yi.

And the person who called himself Liao Zuo was naturally led into the hall.

But as soon as he entered, the servant Qi Yacuo, who was waiting beside Zheng Pu, had his eyes narrowed, and put his hand on the handle of the knife on the side of his waist without leaving any trace.

Because of this, Gai is not like a scholar, but like a reckless tycoon.

His body is more than seven feet tall, not very majestic, but his limbs are well-proportioned, and his dark skin shows that he is always on the go and rarely studies behind closed doors.The eyes are deep and firm, the nose is flat and the two nasolabial folds are extremely deep, and the untrimmed beard is slightly unkempt, adding a bit of fierceness.

It is born by heart.

If it weren't for someone with a deep city and a tough temperament, he wouldn't have such a face.

Qiyacuo was also a person who followed Zheng Pu to Jiangdong before, knowing that the officials in Jiangdong who were humiliated by Zheng Pu's words were angry, and then the assassins in Wuyue were well-known, so it is reasonable to be careful.

"Shen You in Xiawu Commandery, no doubt about the word, I pay my respects to the guards."

But the man didn't seem to realize it, and after entering the hall, he didn't wait for Zheng Pu to ask him, and he performed the ceremony very respectfully to protect his family and plead guilty, "The guards went to Jiangdong as an envoy, and after hearing about it, they decided to defect. Because the grandson in Jianye City There are so many thieves, so they dare not invite them face to face, so they rushed to Xiling Gorge Houjun, but they also missed the Junzhou boat. And because Wuxian Jiangdong guards strictly checked those who passed the pass, they were not allowed to go together. In desperation, I was the only one There is a way to Fuling County, falsely claiming that he is an aide of the emperor, and begging soldiers from your country to bring them to Chengdu to participate in the meeting. If there are many rude things, I respectfully ask you to be gracious."

Sun thief? !
This son actually called Sun Quan a thief?

Rao Zheng Pu was secretly wary of this person in his heart, but he couldn't help but become more interested when he heard this title.

"No need to be too polite, just sit down."

After scrutinizing for a while, Zheng Pufang said, "Since the honorable man is from Wu County, could it be that he is the descendant of the former Sunshine Lu Xun Weiqing? And I think the honorable man is dignified, heroic and mighty, and he is not a mediocre person! Why is it so close to his hometown? With the relatives of the clan, go thousands of miles to come to me, a big man, to be an official?"

Duke Weiqing is Han Guanglu Xun Shen Rong.

Because he resigned from the title, he fled and moved to Wucheng County, Wudi. Almost all the Shen families in Jiangdong today are descended from him.

"Recovering the Army, I am the Queen of Duke Weiqing."

Shen You, who got up to sit down, heard the question and quickly answered, "However, times have changed, and the clan has scattered branches. By the time of my ancestors, I had settled in Wu County, Wu County for many years. As for why I left my hometown, Zi, and my relatives, I was willing to go far away to come to Shu." .”

At this point, his eyes flashed with hostility, and his voice became agitated, "It's because of my father's hatred, and I and Sun Quan's villains are at odds!"

Uh, father feud!

But it seems to have been heard that Sun Quan is not as bloodthirsty as Sun Ce and treats Haoyou with softness?

Slightly raising his eyebrows, Zheng Pu nodded lightly, and said slowly, "Although I know it's inappropriate to inquire about your past family affairs, please tell me in detail, it will be very offensive."

After saying that, he raised his wine cup to express his apology.

"Don't dare."

Hastily raised the cup, Shen You drank it down in one gulp, and began to talk about the reason in detail.

It turned out that he was Shen You's posthumous son.

Shen You, courtesy name Zizheng, met Hua Xin, then the prefect of Yuzhang, at the eleventh day of the year.Hua Xin was different, and invited him to talk with the same car, and his friends refuted it with words, because Jiangdong is well-known.Older, more famous, with both civil and military skills, he once commented on "Sun Tzu's Art of War".And have eloquence, when sitting at the banquet, all the people at the banquet are silent.

After Sun Quan ruled Jiangdong, he was hired with courtesy, and he was respected and feared.

However, when Sun Quan held a banquet for his ministers, Shen You made a mistake and was expelled, and sometimes mediocre officials were jealous of his talent and rebelled against him; Those who have the heart of the king can be said to be against each other."

After Sun Quan heard about it, he thought he would never be used by himself, so he killed him.

It was the ninth year of Jian'an (204 AD).

Shen You was murdered at the age of twenty-nine, and all his wives and concubines were sent by the clan to marry others, but one month later, the concubine found out that she was more than two months pregnant, so she returned to Shen Jiabai and the patriarch privately.

The head of the Zong thought that Shen You was innocent and felt sorry for him.

Shen You's concubine was redeemed with gold, and she was raised with her natal family, and the son she gave birth to was Shen You.

The secluded, concealed, concealed.

When naming it, the head of the Shen family hoped that Shen You would grow up smoothly, continue Shen You's blood, and hide it among the crowd so that Sun Quan would not notice it and harm him again.

But when Shen You was a young man, his talents and learning were as good as his father's, and his reputation gradually rose.

The head of the Shen family was worried, so he informed him of his life experience in advance.

From then on, Shen You kept his humble words and did not show his talent to learn from others, but in private he studied military books and practiced martial arts diligently.In the seventeenth year of the year, he took his own character as no doubt, and the fake clan merchants traveled all over the country, with footprints all over Yang, Jing and Jiaozhou.He spared money and sacrificed righteousness, and he was a reckless and brave man and generously supported his retinue, hoping that one day he could avenge his father.

It is not intended to lead the dead to assassinate Sun Quan.

There is a lesson from Sun Ce's lightness and unpreparedness. Although Sun Quan also likes to hunt tigers, he will not let the same mistakes happen again when he goes out with a group of soldiers.

Shen You is planning to gather his retinues and join the warlord to destroy Wu!

When Wei Wen and Cao Pi conquered Wu for the last time, he originally wanted to lead Hu Fuhai into Qingzhou, and promised to join Wei Guo in the conquest of Wu, but before he did, the Wei army withdrew.

After the Battle of Shiting, Wei Guo was defeated and returned, which made him no longer vote for Wei.

Without him, his hope of relying on Wei to destroy Wu was shattered.

Later, knowing that the big man had left Longyou, and the battle was going well, he thought that maybe he could use the power of the big man to avenge his hatred.

However, due to the mutual alliance between the Han and Wu countries and the mutual dependence of their lips and teeth, they hesitated and did not make a move.

Therefore, he continued his previous work of supporting the dead, and secretly recorded the dangers of Jiangdong, Jingnan, and Jiaozhou through business and business affairs, and drew topographic maps for future use.

After waiting and watching for several years, he no longer hesitated when he heard that the great Han had returned to Liangzhou and sent envoys to Jiangdong.

Because at this time he was already in his thirties, if he hesitated again, he might not be able to accomplish anything in his life.

For revenge, the Shen clan will not help him.

Needless to say, how can the loss of one person outweigh the benefit of the whole family?
What made him even more worried was that if he never had the chance to take revenge in this life, his father's feud might be lost in time—just like the Lu family in Wu County.

Although Han and Wu are still allied with each other at this time, he has no other choice.

Wei State, which occupies the most fertile land in the world and has the strongest national power, has lost consecutive battles in recent years, and has gathered a large army in Guanzhong to guard against the big men, and has adopted a defensive posture against Wu State. That's all, so the big man became his best choice.

At least, the big man is now thriving.

Moreover, he knew that the two countries would never forget the battles of Xiangfan and Yiling, and he knew that Sun Quan's behavior was often repeated, so he thought to himself that if he joined the great man, he might be able to follow Jiangdong in his lifetime.

No matter how bad it is, moving the wife and children to Bashu can also prevent the descendants from being assimilated by the clan in the future and forget the blood feud.

After a while of dry mouth, Shen You finally finished talking about the past.

He also took out a roll of silk from his wide sleeves, got up and bowed his head in the hall, and bowed his head, his voice was passionate, "This is the topographic map of Jiangdong, Jingnan and Jiaozhou drawn by you in recent years, and I would like to present and protect it as a treasure of Jinshen." Army. But I beg that the guards will not give up, pity that my father was killed innocently, and take you into the tent. You have read military books and have a little courage. Whatever you wish, you will pay for it with death!"

But after hearing this, Zheng Pu still maintained his posture of drooping his eyes and stroking his beard, and he also stopped his subordinate Qi Yacuo from trying to get the topographic map of the three states.

Not that he was indifferent.

In fact, he was very moved by Shen You's death, and admired Shen You Qianli's revenge, but neither of them was the reason for his decision.

He is a courtier of the great man!

Everything should be done from the perspective of whether it can benefit the big man, rather than making decisions based on personal emotions.

Taking in Shen You at this time is of no benefit to the big man.

One is worrying that there is no leaky wall in the world.

For example, when Fei Yi was sent as an envoy to Jiangdong earlier, Sun Quan questioned Wei Yan and Yang Yi about the estrangement.Wu Guo was able to find out even the incident in Hanzhong, and Shen You's exploits in the army were revealed in the future, so it may not be impossible to know.

If you know the whole story, it will not be a good thing for the two countries to join forces to attack Wei.

The other is worrying about future changes.

Shen You came to vote for the big man because he was driven by his father's hatred, not because he was loyal to the big man, but when will the big man turn against Jiang Dong and attack each other so that he can get his wish?

No one can tell.

Restoring Guanzhong is not a one-day effort, nor is it an easy task.

No need to think about it, Wei Guo will definitely defend it with the strength of the whole country, and will not allow the big man to return to the old capital. Because of the story of Guangwu restoring Han Zuo, if the big man can return the capital to Chang'an again, then "Han Zuo is still alive" , "Sanxing the Han Dynasty is the destiny of destiny" and other prophecies will be passed on by word of mouth in the world.

And even if the great Han regained Guanzhong, the land to be conquered in the future would be the north of the great river or the fertile land of thousands of miles in the Central Plains.

As the saying goes, a person with an obsessive heart must be hostile!

At that time, when Shen You sees that the battle of defeating Wu, which is the time to avenge his father, is nowhere in sight, will it be difficult to settle and cause resentment against the great man, which will lead to unfavorable events for the court.

After some thoughts.

Zheng Pu opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to help him, and said slowly, "No doubt, get up and take your seat. I'm very lucky that you have traveled thousands of miles to vote. However, I still have a few doubts, so please clarify."

But Shen You did not return to his seat.

Instead, he sat upright on the spot and put the topographic map on the ground, "If you have any doubts about the guards, you can ask them as much as you want, and you will definitely have endless words."

"good!"

After applauding, Zheng Pu asked solemnly, "One, there are many generals in our Han army who have blood feuds with Jiangdong. Why do you want me to turn to evil? And you have a treasure map, which will be reused when it is presented in our country. , why bother bowing under my curtain?"

Without thinking, Shen You replied in a loud voice, "Naiyou once heard about the reputation of the guards, and also knew that the guards angrily denounced Sun Wu's betrayal of the alliance when they established their business."

uh~~
I will retaliate, but I am so deeply rooted in people's hearts!

It's just that when I acted as an envoy, I swayed my lips and slapped my tongue for a while, so that this person can conclude that I have the intention of promoting the defeat of Wu?
Involuntarily, Zheng Pu was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Cough cough!"

With a few dry coughs, Zheng Pu ignored the matter, and asked again, "Both, you must know the general situation today. The two countries of Han and Wu are actually interdependent. You only want to avenge your father in this life, but what about the situation?" Our country may not raise troops to attack Wu during your lifetime. So, what do you think about evil here?"

"There is no one else, but I am looking for a chance!"

Without thinking again, Shen You answered aloud, "I'm over thirty years old now, so I don't have many years to waste. Whether I can get what I want, I have to do my best to listen to the destiny. And if the guards take me in, I will take my wife The sons all moved to Chengdu to live in peace, and warned the dogs to remember the hatred of their fathers, and I will die unpaid hatred in the future!"

Are you using your wife and children as your pledge?

This heart is commendable!
"good!"

Having said this, Zheng Pu no longer has any worries in his heart.

But before getting up, he personally supported Shen You and held his hand, Yin Yin said, "I have no doubts about thousands of miles to cast, I am deeply impressed, how dare I be unrighteous? No doubts and peace of mind, I am a big man who has never forgotten Xiangfan Enmity, hatred of Yiling! If the time comes to conquer Wu in the future, I will show no doubt that I will lead the generals, and the governor will take revenge!"

As soon as these words fell, Shen You burst into tears.

Immediately, he took a step back and knelt down on the ground, choking with sobs, "You, thank you for your righteousness! I am willing to die for the guards in this life!"

"It's too much! It's too much!"

Zheng Pu lifted himself up again, and smiled coyly, "I don't doubt that it doesn't have to be like this. And I don't doubt that I shouldn't be thanked. If it happens in the future, you will be the leader of my big man, supervising my big man's soldiers!"

For a moment, Shen You's face froze.

He also quickly pleaded guilty, "What the guards said is very true! I was lying for a while, and I will die for my big man in the future!"

"Hehe~~"

With a chuckle, Zheng Pu stretched out his hand to signal him to return to his seat.

After both of them put away their emotions just now, Zheng Pu said slowly, "No doubt, you have never been to Chengdu, so I will send someone to find a house for the settlement of the family. Well, I don't know how many children you have under your knees, but Is there anyone who is old enough to study? I am a close friend of Yizhou classics, so I can let him accept your sons to study in the palace."

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

Hearing this, Shen You smiled happily, and hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks, "I only have one son, eight years old, named Ying."

Alas!
It's Shen Ying~~~
Things in the world are like white clouds and dogs, elusive!
