Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 196 You are playing Tianhu's cards into a pulp

Within the Runan County Government Office.

Cheng Yu was very confused, and things went smoothly. From the first word Xu Chu spoke, Cheng Yu felt as stable as a dog.

seem…

It is much easier to deal with Xu Chu than to deal with those skeletons in the coffin.

Of course, the atmosphere in the government office here is a bit weird...

This doesn't look like a gentle place like the government office, it's clearly Heifengzhai!

Countless strong men with big arms and round waists crowded into the room, and everyone wore knives around their waists. In the cold weather, their upper bodies were shirtless, revealing their bronzed muscles. Because they were too big and round, they couldn't see their abdominal muscles at all!
But that plump meat... gives people a "creepy" sense of sight.

Especially the leader Xu Chu, in Cheng Yu's eyes, was as strong as a grizzly bear, two heads taller than him, Cheng Yu, with six-pack abs and biceps, so there was no need for special accumulation at all. Force, it is as tight as a drum.

But when he opened his mouth...

This burly and mighty image was instantly shattered to the ground.

"Mr. Cheng, how many meals do you eat a day at Cao Ying?"

ah... ah...

Cheng Yu didn't respond to Xu Chu's question for a while.

"It's usually two meals, but the amount is enough, and if it's not enough, you can add more!"

"Longxiao Camp is a little bit more special. Mr. Lu specially ordered three meals a day. Each person must guarantee three catties of grain and one catty of meat every day. If they don't have enough, they have to eat."

"If he finds out that a soldier has eaten less than one or two grains or one or two meat, then the corporal commander will sit together! If there are hundreds of people who are short of catties, then the centurion will sit together! ..."

This…

As Cheng Yu blurted out, Xu Chu's eyes were shining brightly. In fact, not only his eyes were shining brightly, but also the eyes of the righteous men around him were also shining brightly.

Xu Chu gathered 2000 righteous men in Runan County, but now there are only [-] fellow villagers who can be by his side as brothers, and these [-] strong men are all villagers of Xujia Village...

This Xujia Village in Peiguoqiao County has nothing else but two characteristics - "Men are strong and women are strong!"

Of course, if there is another feature, it is a large appetite, and each person has to eat at least three people for a meal!

Therefore, Xu Chu's first question directly asked Cao Ying how many meals he ate every day...

In fact... Xu Chu was already surprised enough after two full meals!
You can hear the standard of the Longxiao camp, each person has three catties of food and one catty of meat per day, so be good... This is simply heaven.

Xu Chu scratched his head, and his tone became more gentle. "Only the soldiers of the Long Xiao camp have three catties of food and one catty of meat every day?"

"That's right..." Cheng Yu nodded, and he suddenly thought of the extra point mentioned in Lu Yu's letter, that he could agree to all Xu Chu's requests!
Immediately, Cheng Yu had an idea, and continued: "However, if there is a chance, if Xu Yishi and this group of brothers can go to Cao Ying, I will guarantee with my head that Mr. Lu will definitely propose to Cao Gong and distribute the dragon and dragon to you." The same food as Xiaoying! It is also three catties of grain and one catty of meat per person per day!"

really…

These words made Xu Chu excited...

Even the righteous men around were about to scream "Aww!"
"Okay...then what are you waiting for? From now on, the two thousand righteous men in Runan will belong to Mr. Cao. I don't study much, Mr. Cheng, you can't lie to us. You must let Mr. Lu tell Mr. Cao about this. The matter of food is very important to my brothers."

The villagers of Xujia Village have been strong since childhood and are not afraid of the cold, so the typhoid fever did not affect them much.

But this year's severe drought, severe flood, and locust plague have really frightened Xu Chu and his brothers from starvation. Their food has long been empty, and now they are all living on the food they robbed the Yellow Turbans next door.

The key is that the Yellow Turban Thieves are not fat, they can only be hungry and full!

As soon as I heard that each person in the Longxiao camp had three catties of grain and one catty of meat per day, I was already looking forward to it, and wished I could go to Cao Ying to eat rice now.

only…

Cheng Yu was a little dazed, he just mentioned it casually, but just mentioning it like that, the matter of persuading him to surrender, just... it's over?

Just because of three catties of grain and one catty of meat...these two thousand righteous men were successfully attached to Cao Ying?

This... this is really weird!

He finally understood why Mr. Lu repeatedly emphasized in the letter that persuading Xu Chu to surrender was a very easy task, and let him enjoy...

When he saw this sentence for the first time, Cheng Yu still said "hehe", now, he looks a little silly!

Sure enough, the whole process is very enjoyable, at least there is no "If you don't succeed, you will suffer", ah no... At least if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent.

What a surprise.

Of course, Cheng Yu wouldn't know that, according to the records in the historical books, it was a matter of course for Xu Chu to vote for Cao Cao!

That was after Cao Cao finished welcoming the emperor, Xu Chu surrendered directly, and even gave Runan to Cao Cao!
Well, there are three reasons...

The first and most important one is that when Xu Chu heard that Cao Cao was welcoming the emperor, he gave the emperor and all the officials a bowl of chicken soup. In this era of war and chaos, where there is a "chicken", a man would want to see it, right?Not to mention Xu Chu, who is in great demand.

The so-called follow Cao Cao to have meat to eat.

The second one is that Xu Chu and Cao Cao are from the same township. The so-called fellow villagers see fellow villagers with tears in their eyes... Xu Chu has a lot of kung fu, but he has no great ambitions. Sooner or later, he will vote for other princes!Who is not to vote for?It's a pleasure to vote for fellow villagers.

The third one is the Son of Heaven, even though the Qiaopei Xu family has been in decline for many years.

But as Lu Yu analyzed before, the supreme existence of the Son of Heaven is still deeply rooted in the subconsciousness of the elites of various aristocratic families.

Xu Chu was also from an aristocratic family, so how could he not desire to be loyal to the emperor?
Of course, in Xu Chu's mind, this so-called loyalty to the Son of Heaven can almost be equated with those who are loyal to the Son of Heaven!
For this reason, in Lu Yu's letter to Cheng Yu, the first step in conquering Runan was to fish Xu Chu.

In Lu Yu's view, this is indeed a very simple matter. The so-called Lang has affection and concubine intentions, all that is needed is to pierce the window paper by himself.

Of course, Xu Chu specially tested Cheng Yu.

Courage is extraordinary, Cao Ying's envoys are like this, Cao Ying must be like this, and Cao Cao is even more so!

This can be regarded as dispelling his last worries...

Today's surrender...is just a matter of course!
Seeing that Cheng Yu was still in a daze, Xu Chu couldn't help urging: "Mr. Cheng? When will you take us to see Mr. Lu and Mr. Cao... Brothers are all hungry!"

hungry?

Hehe, Cheng Yu was secretly happy, he muttered in his heart...Xu Chu and this group of righteous men are really cute and innocent!
When the time came, Cheng Yu showed a look of melancholy on his cheeks...

"Xu Yishi surrendered like this... I can't even tell Mr. Lu about the three catties of grain and one catty of meat!"

Cheng Yu showed a look of embarrassment. In fact, there were loopholes in what he said, but...he was sure that none of the group of strong men with big heads and thick necks in front of him would realize that they would only go to Cheng Yu. Yu hope to guide where to guide!
"Oh..." Sure enough, Xu Chu knocked on his forehead. "That's right, that's right, look at my brain, we don't have a certificate yet, how can we eat Duke Cao's food for nothing!"

"But...this vote? Today's Runan County is divided into five... We only occupy one of them, and the other half are on those thieves, ah... this is difficult!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yu took a step closer to Xu Chu, and said earnestly: "I have a plan, as long as Xu Zhuangshi acts according to this plan, then the entire Runan County will be filled with Xu Zhuangshi's certificates, not to mention three catties." The food is five catties, ten catties... We, Mr. Lu, will definitely ask Mr. Cao for it for you brothers!"

This…

Xu Chu's ears moved subconsciously to Cheng Yu's mouth.

Cheng Yu whispered his strategy, but in fact, it wasn't his strategy...

Lu Yu's letter clearly stated that he recruited Xu Chu, accepted Huang Shao, and frightened He Yi, so that he could kill that "Jietian Yasha" He Man, and plan to conquer Runan City in one fell swoop...

Now, this star-studded chess game has just taken its first step!
"Okay...Okay!" Cheng Yu said nothing...Xu Chu became excited. He and Cheng Yu had a very happy conversation during this conversation, and the problem of the brothers' hungry stomachs was also solved. Xu Chu was really happy in his heart, and subconsciously clenched his fists Lightly thumped on Cheng Yu's shoulder.

"Haha, Mr. Cheng, I like you so much, from now on, you will be my brother! You are smart, I call you big brother, don't be disgusted!"

The blow was very light, and it definitely only took Xu Chu's strength.

pat...

Cheng Yu's shoulder bones are like his heart. It's about to break!
Cheng Yu was caught off guard and snorted, his blood surged and his throat felt sweet!
Your uncle's...my bones seem to be broken.

This thought came to Cheng Yu's heart, and he barely supported it with his usual strong body, but his face was already as white as paper, and he wanted to roar to vent the severe pain from his shoulder.

Seeing Cheng Yu's face turn pale...

Xu Chu quickly asked, "What's wrong? Mr. Cheng doesn't want to be my big brother..."

"No...no..." Cheng Yu tried his best to breathe evenly.

Xu Chu scratched his head. "That's good. From now on, our two thousand brothers will all hang out with Brother Cheng. Brother Cheng is a celebrity under Mr. Lu, and Mr. Lu is a celebrity under Mr. Cao. Hehe, from now on, we brothers can I eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day, haha!"

After the laughter fell, Xu Chu suddenly thought of something again.

"Yeah, that's right...Brother Cheng, many people in Runan County have suffered from typhoid fever. I heard that Mr. Lu's medical office in Yanzhou has completely cured the typhoid fever! This Mr. Lu?"

"It's the Mr. Lu I mentioned just now." Cheng Yu reminded... "Our Mr. Lu is more versatile!"

"That's great!" Xu Chu hurriedly asked: "Brother Cheng, why don't you also send a letter to Mr. Lu, asking him to send some more medical officers... and help the people of Runan City? Our Runan City The common people are pitiful!"

"Already...already..." Cheng Yu's words were still stumbling, and he felt a pain in his shoulder. "It's already on the way...it's only a few days away. Mr. Lu...has already made arrangements..."

"As long as those who surrender to our Cao Ying, the territory they belong to... will be cured of typhoid fever..."

Hey...Xu Chu was overjoyed immediately, he couldn't bear to watch the people at the bottom suffer.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Lu is thoughtful. It seems that Mr. Lu is a living Bodhisattva! Actually... I sometimes think about it, it would be good if my brothers could join the Longxiao camp, and it would save money." I’m going to ask Duke Cao for food, Brother Cheng, don’t you think so?”

Xu Chuxi smiled, and punched Cheng Yu's other shoulder again.

It's still the familiar part of strength, but Xu Chu's part of strength can't be matched by the efforts of ordinary people.

"crunch"...

There was another crisp sound of bones, only Cheng Yu could hear it clearly!

Now, the left and right shoulders are balanced, and the world is quiet.

Sure enough, as Mr. Lu said in his letter, enjoy the moment... Hehe, this special thing is called "enjoyment"!
...

...

Jingzhou, outside Xiangyang City, a villa.

This is the manor of Mr. Shui Jing Sima Hui.

He was very satisfied with the eight newly recruited disciples, and each of them worked very hard, especially one named "Zhuge Jun".

This talented man from Langya County is very knowledgeable, and his thoughts are tight, which makes this "good man" Sima Hui even more applauded.

In addition to the knowledge of the art of war and strategy, "Zhuge Jun" also likes to study the art of craftsman with Sima Hui's female disciple Huang Yueying.

Recently, the two are trying to make the wooden cow and horse walk on its own.

It has failed many times, but the two seem to be constantly exploring...

You know, there are very few descendants of the Mohist family in this era!

There are only fragments of the Mohist mechanism technique left. It is not an easy task to make a wooden cow and horse that can walk by itself under such limited conditions!

today…

Among the huts...

call…

A long exhalation.

"No..." Zhuge Liang shook his head, "The Mohist organization pays attention to four or two tricks, so rigidly follow the records in the book, I am afraid that this wooden cow will not act on its own."

Beside Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying wiped the sweat from her forehead. "At first, I thought that the production of wooden cows and horses is the same as that of mechanical birds...I didn't expect it to be so difficult!"

There was a scar on Huang Yueying's cheek, which added a blemish to her originally beautiful cheek!
She usually wears a veil in class, but only in private when she is studying the skills of craftsman and Mohism mechanism with "Zhuge Jun", she will take off the veil and see people with her true face.

but…

Zhuge Liang didn't seem to mind, although at first, he approached Huang Yueying with some purpose!

But... With a deeper understanding, she found that the talent and persistent energy exuded from this woman deeply attracted him!
In Zhuge Liang's eyes, the scar on his cheek was really not that important.

"Deheng..."

A voice came...

Zhuge Liang turned his head subconsciously.

That's right, the Zhuge Jun he played, the small character Deheng, now...he has gradually gotten used to this name, this font size, and he will turn his head reflexively when he hears it.

And the big sister Zhuge Ruoxue appeared behind her...

When there are outsiders, Zhuge Ruoxue will call Zhuge Liang "Deheng", and only when their siblings are around, will they call him "Kong Ming".

"Deheng, there is a letter from Yanzhou..."

This is out of the way...

Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly opened. "It must be a letter from my brother, Yueying, let's try again tomorrow..."

"Okay." Huang Yueying nodded...

Building this wooden ox and horse can't be completed in a day and a half, the Mohist mechanism is extensive and profound!
anyway…

Huang Yueying looked at Zhuge Ruoxue, muttering in his heart... "I heard that sister Ruoxue from 'Deheng' is engaged to Kuai Qi, son of a prominent family in Xiangyang...is she...is that?"

You know, the Yan family in Xiangyang is a big clan in Jingzhou, their ancestors, Jitong, were Han Xin's military advisers, and now...the clan's Yaoyue and Yanliang are the core advisers in Jingzhou.

It is for this reason that Kuai Qi, son of the Ji clan, got engaged to Zhuge Ruoxue, the eldest daughter of the Zhuge clan of Langya, and this matter spread all over Jingzhou!
call…

Exhaling lightly, Huang Yueying sighed softly.

"It seems that 'Deheng' will also have a backer in Xiangyang City in the future?"

Backing...is extremely important in Jingzhou.

Even Huang Yueying's father, Huang Chengyan, was so talented, didn't he marry the eldest daughter of the Cai family in Xiangyang?
With this in mind, Huang Yueying closed her eyes slightly, and her attention was once again fully focused on the wooden ox horse in front of her.

...

"Is it a letter from Brother Jun?"

Zhuge Liang on the carriage asked the eldest sister, Zhuge Ruoxue nodded...

"How is Brother Jun?" Zhuge Liang couldn't hide his concern at the mention of Zhuge Jun. After all, if it wasn't for that sap stick, the real Zhuge Liang is now in Yanzhou!

"Brother Jun, everything is fine, even better than we imagined." Zhuge Ruoxue softly groaned, "It's better to go back to the mansion. After you read the letter paper, Kong Ming, everything will be clear."

talking room...

Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Ruoxue entered Xiangyang City in a carriage...

The Zhuge family used to be the richest man in Xuzhou, never short of money...

Naturally, a mansion was purchased in the core area of ​​Xiangyang City.

This is also what Zhuge Liang deliberately did. The mansion he bought was set up between the two nobles of Xiangyang City, the Cai family and the Jia family.

For one thing, Huang Chengyan is the son-in-law of the Cai family, so Zhuge Liang can get in touch with Huang Chengyan more. If he can get a word of praise from him, it will be of great benefit to his future development!
Secondly, Kuai Qi, the youngest son of the Jia family, is upright about the wedding season, plus he has a good reputation, whether it is getting to know him, or getting closer, being a relative... will be of great help to the future Zhuge family.

The house is connected!

Finally, it is near the water, but he never thought that this Kuai Qi was actually a lover. He fell in love with his eldest sister Zhuge Ruoxue at first sight, and even... let the elders of the family come to propose marriage on his behalf!
In this way... in Jingzhou, Zhuge's family can be considered to have a firm foothold.

While speaking, Zhuge Liang had already returned to the mansion...

The letter was placed on the table, and Zhuge Liang slowly unfolded it.

It was a very long bamboo slip, densely packed with words.

"—My brother is on top, brother Jun bows..."

Looking down the letter paper, Zhuge Jun first mentioned a major event in the letter paper-recently, Yanzhou has undergone great changes. Cao Cao followed Lu Yu's strategy and went west to Luoyang to welcome the emperor!

This is nothing, the situation in the whole world, all the princes have eyeliners in all states and counties, they can't hide it!
only…

Zhuge Jun's next analysis made Zhuge Liang's eyes narrow and his eyes brightened.

——"Going west to Luoyang to welcome the emperor, Yanzhou is clearly empty, but no prince covets it. The emperor is obviously very important. He is the belonging of the world's scholars and the hope of the world's clans. But the world's princes, except Cao Cao, have no one. Come and greet me alone!"

—— "Why is Yanzhou safe and sound in the place of the Fourth World War? Why are the princes from all walks of life indifferent? I didn't understand it at first, but... Recently, listening to Master Lu's teachings from time to time, it is clear one or two!"

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang paused slightly.

Brother Jun couldn't understand clearly, but Zhuge Liang understood these two problems immediately, and he understood them thoroughly!

Sure enough, Zhuge Jun's next analysis was exactly the same as his Zhuge Liang's thoughts!
Why is Yanzhou safe and sound?
Firstly, the timing chosen by Cao Cao to meet the emperor was exceptionally good. People stronger than Cao Cao were fighting, such as Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, and Yuan Shu and Lu Bu and Liu Bei!
Secondly, he is much weaker than Cao Cao. Due to last year's drought and crop failure, he would not have too many ideas!
Besides, in the past few years... Cao Cao almost created a miracle of turning back from a desperate situation!
The "Longxiao Battalion" under him shocked the world and resounded throughout Kyushu, and even beat Lv Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Riders and fled in panic!Who would be so blind to challenge this "Heavenly Chosen One"!

As for... welcoming the emperor, hehe, thinking of this, Zhuge Liang wanted to laugh!
There are so many princes in the world, but... Only Cao Cao has such a vision!

To be precise, Cao Cao is not the only one, but... Cao Cao is the only one who has the ability to put it into action and has a long-term vision.

This means a lot!
actually…

What makes Zhuge Liang regret the most is not Yuan Shao's inaction, but... but a series of coquettish operations by Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou.

Just look at Zhuge Liang as a fool...

Zhuge Liang called out, how could a prince be so stupid?
The chance to become the Chosen One just... slipped away!

It was precisely because of Liu Biao's tricks that Zhuge Liang had a major change in his plan. After he learned the original plan, he relied on the network he had established to seek an official career in Jingzhou!
But Liu Biao was like this, Zhuge Liang was extremely disappointed!
Now, his plan is... After finishing his studies, he will hide his strength and bide his time, and wait and see how the current situation changes.

Liu Biao is a pit, if you vote for him, you will fall into the pit.

anyway…

What is this show operation that makes Zhuge Liang hate it so much that he feels regretful and disappointed?

Liu Biao's so-called unbelievably coquettish operation...

It must be told in depth!
On how to beat a pair of Tianhu cards to pieces!
...
