Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 364

Tread!

Tatata!
The two tiger generals walked towards the main hall of the Sikong mansion with long strides, and one of them with a big shoulder and a round waist frowned, as if he was full of anger.

"Zhang Wenyuan, if it weren't for the fact that you are a general under Mr. Lu's command, I would have yelled at you severely!"

"If you hadn't stopped me, I would have fought them long ago! Then how could Liu Bei escape?"

It was Xu Chu who spoke...

On the side was Zhang Liao, General of the Longxiao Battalion. He was silent and did not argue with Xu Chu. He just pointed in the direction of the main hall in front, meaning he had something to say inside.

Tread…

The heavy steps resounded again.

The two stepped into the magnificent pavilion. At this time, in the main hall of Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, and Lu Yu were all there, as if they were discussing how to break the situation.

Seeing the two of them stepping in, everyone closed their mouths tacitly and looked at the two of them.

"Cao Sikong."

"Cao Sikong, Lu Situ!"

Xu Chu's title is slightly different from Zhang Liao's title. Of course, in this season... no one will care about these details.

"Have you caught up with Liu Bei?" Cao Cao asked anxiously.

"We caught up, but Liu Bei didn't come back. He said that the world is so big, and he wanted to see it. He couldn't stretch his arms and legs within the square inch of Xu Capital City."

Zhang Liao replied truthfully.

"Sure enough!" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and turned his cheek towards Lu Yu.

Lu Yu then asked, "What else did Liu Bei say?"

Zhang Liao continued to reply: "Liu Bei also said that he will not fail Cao Sikong, let alone the imperial court! Let us wait for the 'good news'!"

Speaking of this, Xu Chu yelled: "Liu Bei is still laying down the battle. The last general wanted to fight and capture him, but General Wenyuan refused to let me go, and the soldiers of Long Xiaoqi didn't listen to me, so I let him go." Leave that fellow Liu Bei!"

This blurted out... Xu Chu was still a little bit aggrieved.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao immediately took a step forward. "Zhang Wenyuan is right. Hundreds of you, tens of thousands of Liu Bei, and Guan Zhiyong, Zhang Zhiyong, really fight, I'm afraid your head will be left there!"

In a word, Cao Cao waved his hand.

"You two go down to rest first... The soldiers of each battalion are on standby!"

"Here!"

Zhang Liao agreed, but Xu Chu was a little confused, but...seeing this posture, he bowed his hands and then retreated immediately.

All in all, this time...he Xu Chu, his Huben army is really ashamed to be thrown at grandma's house!

Tread…

Following the footsteps of Xu Chu and Zhang Liao, they gradually drifted away.

Cao Cao turned around and sat back in his seat.

Xi Zhicai did not forget to say: "Liu Bei's actions are despicable. It seems that besides Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Sun Ce, Han Sui, and Ma Teng, this Liu Bei will also become a serious problem for us! Such a serious problem... I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome if it is delayed in the future, so why not send a large army to kill them immediately, and take advantage of the unsteady foothold, to get rid of this hidden danger in one go! Make up for the mistakes caused by my carelessness!"

Xi Zhicai suggested!

Never thought... he blurted out these words, Cao Cao frowned suddenly.

"Error? What's wrong?"

"On the contrary, I think the situation is very good. First, the enemies on the surface are not scary, but the enemies in the dark are scary. Now, they are all showing their sharpness, and I, Cao Cao, can catch them all!"

"Secondly, Liu Bei thought that Xuzhou would listen to him. Hahaha, Xuzhou is no longer ruled by common people. Even if he can capture Xiapi City by surprise attack? But can he hold it? As long as I think, at any time can kill him!"

"Thirdly, Liu Bei was killed in consideration of his reputation of benevolence and righteousness, but now it's all right, doesn't this just give me a chance to take his head?"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, and the next words were more important and more earnest.

"It's just the invasion of enemies from five directions. I'm not worried at all. Even if the rats gather into millions or tens of millions, they are still rats. I have all the sages and countless elite soldiers. How can I not defeat the enemy?"

"This is the end of today's parliamentary power. When you are in a panic, the strategy in your heart must not be careful enough. Go back today and think about it. Tomorrow morning, I will deploy a strategy to defeat the enemy!"

"Lu Situ stays, you all step back!"

As soon as this statement comes out…

A group of counselors looked at each other, and then parted with each other.

Cao Cao asked them to retreat, leaving only Lu Yu, which is quite meaningful.

And it seems... just like the appearance when making decisions again and again.

Cao Cao and Lu Yu will first find out the enemy's weaknesses, which is Lu Yu's specialty, and then formulate strategies with a group of advisers to break through the weaknesses!

I hope... this time, like every time the grand strategy was formulated, Lu Yu...or Yin Lin, can turn the tide again!
With this in mind, a group of counselors retreated slowly!
Xun Yu, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai are all talents in Yingchuan, and they go together.

After walking out of the main hall, Xi Zhi said with emotion.

"I suggested that Cao Sikong send troops to conquer Liu Bei, and beat him to a weak foothold? Make up for the mistakes caused by carelessness, why didn't Cao Sikong agree? We will discuss it tomorrow, and the changes will be great in one day!"

It is true that, as Xi Zhicai said... immediately sending troops to conquer, then Liu Bei's foothold is not stable, but tomorrow, it will become a leisurely waiting for work!
Having said this, Xi Zhicai shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Cao Sikong still sighed with emotion, saying 'there is no mistake', I don't understand, I really don't understand."

"Hehe..." Hearing this, Xun Yu stroked his beard and asked with great interest, "Zhicai, do you know the difference between you and Lu Yu?"

"where?"

"What you see is strategy, but what Lu Yu sees is people's hearts! Fault? How can you say that Cao Sikong is at fault?"

Xun Yu said meaningfully. "Even though it was a mistake to let Liu Bei go, can Cao Sikong admit his mistake? Now that it's done, the most urgent thing is to find a way to deal with it, rather than to pursue fault and responsibility?"

"Look at Lu Yu, he was the first one who proposed to kill Liu Bei, and even asked Sima Yi to hold the clothes and belts outside the door. This is to force Liu Bei to death! But... to this day, after the incident, he proposed Was Cao Sikong wrong?"

Speaking of this, Xun Yu paused for a moment, then asked himself and answered: "No."

"Because, he knows that Cao Sikong knew his mistakes in his heart long ago, and he will correct his mistakes in the future, but he will never admit his mistakes. What is the master? That is to know his mistakes, correct his mistakes, and not admit his mistakes! You must never admit your mistakes! When Only Zhizhi can see through this point, and this ability to spy on people's hearts will come into the room, haha..."

At the end of the talk, Xun Yu smiled slightly and walked away with big strides.

It was Xun You who paused and stopped in place...

Always stern, he patted Xi Zhicai on the shoulder, and whispered softly: "Zhicai, don't worry... Tomorrow the lord will definitely raise troops to attack Liu Bei. The disease of scabies is nothing to worry about. It can be settled with one blow! Haha..."

It seems that Xun You is the one who sees through everything.

Of course, Jia Xu, who was walking slowly behind him, could hear their conversation clearly.

He narrowed his eyes, and thought to himself: "Catch the snake and grab the seven inches. According to Cao Sikong's temperament, he must have discussed with Lu Yu when he left Lu Yu. Who is behind this scene? If you don't know this, then... how to attack the enemy?" What about attacking the heart?"

...

...

Between Xudu and Yingchuan, the land of Taixue, beside the Yinghe River.

The small village here is called Xujia Village, and Xujia Village is becoming more and more prosperous today.

Just like the village next to the university 800 years later, the village can often draw unlimited wealth from the university, and every villager here is very rich.

What's even more exaggerated is that Taixue is much more powerful than future universities. It is not an ordinary school, it is the number one school for big men.

For this reason, countless private schools have also moved to this village, and countless merchants have rented shops here with a lot of money, teaching, selling butchers (ahem, that is the literal meaning, don't think about it), selling books, and even selling Maid's... Xujia Village has everything here!
Speaking of...

Thanks to Cai Zhaoji's kindness, how did the villagers in these villages know this?
There is no concept of school district housing!

Some merchants planned to buy their houses and farms at a low price. If Cai Zhaoji hadn't sent teachers from the Taixue to stop them, the village here would have already become a cash cow in the hands of merchants.

Cai Zhaoji even sent teachers to help the villagers rent out their redundant houses, fields, and shops.

at first…

The villagers were quite critical of Cai Zhaoji, the Taixue teachers, and even Lu Yu.

They think renting it out... how much money can they make?

It's better to sell the fields and houses at once... and move to Xudu City to buy a house to live in, but... as time goes by, when a sum of generous remuneration is handed over to the villagers of Xujia Village, suddenly... the whole Xujia Village "Really fragrant".

And the people of Xujia Village united together and handed over all the houses and shops to Taixue to take care of them. They only need to collect enough rent every month!

Over the past year, the shared rent alone is enough for them to buy a big house in the city. The key point is... This house is like a cash cow, with a steady stream of money!

today…

Xu Shu, who bid farewell to Liu Bei, finally drove back to his hometown.

He was quite complacent, and he felt that he had done something comparable to the pre-Qin period's strategist "Su Qin" and the soldiers of the five kingdoms besieging Hangu!
Except for the seal of the Five Kingdoms hanging on Su Qin's neck, Xu Shu is obviously... much more low-key.

——Flick off your clothes when things are done, and hide your achievements and fame!

Even so, every time he thinks of the plan here, he is still quite proud. He feels that he has done a big thing for the big man, a big thing to rectify the imperial court!
This day, the rare good weather.

The sword on Xu Shu's waist reflected the bright light against the bright sun. In addition to being a counselor, he also had a hidden identity as "a knight-errant and a swordsman". Xujia Village is very famous!
A goshawk rises from the forest, flaps its wings and goes straight to the sky...

At this time, the tables in Xu Shu's house were filled with all kinds of dishes, which were cooked by Xu's mother for her son.

Xu's mother also complained about Xu Shu's coming.

"Shan Fu, I heard that you came to Xudu more than ten days ago, but why didn't you come back?"

Hearing this, Xu Shu replied with a smile. "Mother is still talking about me? Didn't mother also lie to me that she was seriously ill and asked me to go home, but when she came back today, mother is so energetic? How can she look seriously ill!"

Speaking of this, Xu Shu tasted the dishes cooked by his mother, and said pleasantly: "Mother, your five-flavored preserved food is getting more and more delicious. I think that when I tasted it when I was a child, the halazi would flow to the ground..."

In front of his mother, Xu Shu also changed his politeness, like a child who didn't grow up, and the rhetoric of "Halazi" came out of nowhere.

The words blurted out.

Mother Xu brought another steamed grass carp, but her eyes were on the child whom she hadn't seen for several years. "Recently there was chaos in the Xu capital city, another assassination, and a rebellion. My mother was worried, and you were in the vortex of the Xu capital city, so I asked my fellow countrymen to bring you a letter, telling you to come back early. I will never see you again. My son, my heart is up and down, and I am very worried."

The son travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried...

The date of return mentioned in Xu Shu's letter has long passed. Xu's mother couldn't find her son, but she heard from the villagers in the same village that Yuan Zhi was in Xu Capital, so she pretended to be sick and threatened him to come back. I'm still worried about his safety, I feel sorry for the parents all over the world.

"Haha, mother, don't worry, I'm fine, the capital city is in such a mess, and only mother can cook delicious food here." Xu Shu said with emotion...

In fact, he felt that it was a pity to see that Xu's mother was fine. He should have gone to Xuzhou with Liu Bei, and that was to assist the Ming Lord and build a great cause.

But after thinking about it, is it important to have a great cause, but is it important to have a mother?
Xu Shu is a filial son, no matter what, he should go home and have a look... He is relieved to see that his mother is doing well.

"Eat more if it tastes good. If my mother can't cook the five-flavored jerky, I'll be sorry for the pig in the yard."

Dahan seldom eat pork, and pork is only used in "heavy-flavored" dishes such as five-flavored jerky.

The reason is that the pork is too dirty and has a peculiar smell. The dignitaries will definitely not eat it, but...the villagers are not so particular. .

"Mother makes everything delicious." Xu Shu sighed again. In fact, since he entered Xujia Village, he had some doubts in his heart. How could...the family is so rich now?
It is reasonable to say that it should not be.

He has no brothers, and his elderly mother is the only one in the family. Even if she can barely manage to survive, she can't raise pigs and sheep. Moreover, the house has obviously been repaired, mother. The clothes are also brand new, using high-quality silk and satin, and even... there is not only pork in the meal, but also fish?

Speaking of which, Xu Shu, who has always been resourceful, is completely puzzled by the situation of this family at this moment. He can't figure it out!

Just about to ask a question...

Seeing Xu's mother put a large piece of grass carp meat into his bowl, she said with a smile. "My son, you will eat fish in the future, but you are not allowed to eat perch..."

After blurting out this sentence, Xu Shu noticed that what mother was steaming today was grass carp, not the sea bass that was her favorite in the past?

This…

Turning his eyes, Xu Shu immediately asked, "Mother? Why is that?"

"Because..." Xu's mother's face suddenly became serious: "Because the homonym of 'bass' is 'Lu Yu', the current Situ, the head of the Imperial Academy Lu Yu...he is the benefactor of our Xujia Village, our Xujia Village How can people eat fish whose name has the same pronunciation as him?

hiss... this...

Xu Shu was stunned, and quickly said, "Mother? This Lu Yu belongs to Cao Cao. I heard... the recent critique of Yue Dan is because of him, so some people with lofty ideals failed to kill the Cao thief and failed to help the great Han Chao Gang." It was also because of him that Dong Guojiu and his party died tragically, and indirectly killed Concubine Dong Gui and Long Si, so...the evil deeds are obvious, and the heavens cannot tolerate it, how...why...you became your mother's benefactor?"

What Xu Shu said was the truth, in his subconscious mind, the divine right of kings...

The majesty of the emperor is inviolable!
Now Lu Yu is Cao Cao's minion, bullying the emperor and dominating the court!It is for this reason that the rhetoric of "clear deeds" seems so fitting.

According to Xu Shu's thinking, his mother also read books when she was young, so the idea of ​​"loyalty to the emperor" should be exactly the same as his!

But...just.

As soon as Xu Shu blurted out these words...

Xu's mother's complexion suddenly changed, becoming as white as paper!

"Bastard!" She suddenly shouted.

Xu Shu was taken aback for a moment, startled.

This?what's the situation?
But hearing his mother scolding him, Xu Shu's expression changed suddenly, and he murmured: "Mother, why...why is this?"

"Kneel down!" Mother Xu shouted.

This time... Xu Shu didn't dare to stand, but fell to his knees with a "click".

Mother Xu said angrily: "I... I gave birth to something that is not as good as a pig or a dog. You are a beast, a beast!"

Rarely, Xu's mother took out a stick, and he slammed the stick on Xu Shu's leg. This was to violate the family law. In the past...Even Xu Shu murdered and committed crimes, Xu's mother never used the family law!

He has always loved this son!
The stick hit her thigh, causing Xu Shu to suffer pain, "Mother, I...I was wrong."

"What's wrong?" Mother Xu said angrily.

"I don't know... I don't know, my child!" Xu Shu looked confused, he really didn't know!
"That's why... that's why I said you are a brute with no conscience. Back then... your father and I just... gave birth to you." Mother Xu trembled angrily. "Let me ask you? You have been away for seven or eight years. Have you ever thought about how your mother came here in these seven or eight years?"

"The child is unfilial!" Xu Shu hurriedly kowtowed.

"Mother is not saying that you are not filial, but that you don't know what it means to repay kindness!" Mother Xu's words continued. "In this chaotic world, I am an old woman living in this Xujia Village. How many times can I not be happy? How many times have I shed tears on my clothes?"

"Three years ago, food... not to mention our family's food, even Xujia Village's food had to be bottomed out. At that time, bandits were everywhere, and strongmen came here to rob every day. Mother insisted on living just to be able to Goodbye to your bastard side! But even so, half of your mother's foot is about to enter the gate of hell."

"The one who saved my mother, the one who saved our Xujia Village was... Cao Cao... He followed Lu Yu's strategy, and that's how the emperor ushered in. He even distributed the unowned wasteland of Xudu and Yingchuan to the farmers, and that's how it was solved. Our urgent need is that Lu Yu, who was then the chief farmer at that time, also established the agricultural policy of "planning cattle to lose grain", so that our common people have surplus food. Only when you get down can we see you again, you bastard!"

"Later... Later the Taixue came up. It was Lu Yu and Cai Yan, the two heads of the Taixue, who helped us rent out the house and land in Xujia Village. Because of this, Mother was able to afford cattle, sheep, and you. ...The pig you just swallowed in your stomach can eat fish! Mother's complexion is getting better and better, and mother has money to go to the doctor... It is because of this that mother can wait until the day when you, an animal, come back! "

"If it wasn't for them...if it wasn't for them, mother would have died a thousand times, ten thousand times. You unfilial son...you...you actually called Mr. Benevolent a 'sinful deed' and a 'heinous crime', You really are an ungrateful white-eyed wolf who doesn't know good from bad, you are the one who is 'evil deeds', and you are the 'heinous crime'!"

"Get out, get out... Although our Xu family is not a famous family, we are also people who are well-educated! At a young level, it is our Xu family who has received the favor of benefactor, and at a big level, it is all the villagers in our Xu family village. The people of the entire Central Plains, we can survive not because of some Han court? Not because of some emperor? But because of Cao Sikong and benefactor Lu Yu. The cock is crowing!"

"You... you... get out, get out... get out!"

...
