On the right, on the horse, is a tall and mighty man, about thirty years old.

Although both of them are dressed in military uniforms, the young man on the left has the temperament of a high-ranking person, not like a general, but like the son of a big family.

And the tall and mighty man in the prime of life on the right, with a fierce aura, is obviously a brave general.

As he was marching, a horse rode in front of the team and said to the young man on the left: "Second son, ten miles ahead has reached the county seat of Yexian County, and the school captain sent me to ask, do you want to enter the city to rest?" ”

The young man bowed slightly, and asked the soldier, "Have you already arrived in Ye County?" How far is it from Xiangyang? ”

The soldier replied: "Ye County is in the northernmost part of Nanyang, Xiangyang is in the southernmost part, there are four or five hundred miles of foot, Xun Lingjun is sick, we are not fast, it will take at least seven days to reach Xiangyang!" ”

"Seven days? It's too slow! Ling Jun's illness can't be dragged on, and he has to work day and night. The young man groaned for a while and ordered: "Order the front army, bypass Ye County and continue to move forward, open the road for soldiers and horses, quickly check and rest the road, and avoid the carriage bumping!" Before dawn, you have to travel sixty miles! ”

"No!" When the soldier heard this, he gave up his orders and went to convey the order to the former lieutenant.

The man then rode in front of him and ordered: "Shi, you take a group of people to Jiangling, bring Zhang Ji to Xiangyang, and then we will meet in Xiangyang!" Remember, do it secretly and be careful! ”

"No, don't worry, son, you come with me!" Shi A was a man in black in his prime, he nodded, led a dozen horsemen to break away from the team, and left first.

"Zhongda, how is Ling Jun?" The young man turned his head to look at the carriage behind him and asked.

Suddenly, a man in a green robe emerged from the carriage, he was about thirty years old, his face was white and there was no beard. Its appearance is very ordinary, but what is not ordinary is a pair of eyes, a pair of narrow and sharp eyes, like the eyes of an eagle.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was only one person with the word Zhongda!

Eagle eyes wolf Gu Sima Yi!

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Ling Jun has already fallen asleep, he has eaten some things today, son, but don't worry!" ”

"That's good!" The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Sima Yi and the mighty-looking general: "Zhongda, Boren, I have wronged the two of you, the wives of your two families have not long given birth to children, and now they should accompany their wives and children at home, but they have to work hard to accompany me on this trip." ”

Boren is the word of the mighty general, and during the Three Kingdoms period, there was only one person who wrote Boren.

That is Xiahou Shang, who became a confidant and became one of the Eight Tigers of Cao Wei as a minion.

Xiahou Shang is one of the Eight Tigers of Cao Wei, when Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and others were there, Xiahou Shang was not very famous, and later Cao Pi ascended the throne, and Xiahou Shang became the general of the town guard.

Xiahou Shang and Cao Pi had a very close relationship, and even Cao Pi once wanted to give Xiahou Shang the right to "be powerful and blessed, and kill the living". and Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, respectively, guarded Cao Wei's three important places, Yongliang, Yangzhou, and Nanyang, Jingzhou.

However, Xiahou Shang is not a son of the anointed Liang who is on the top by virtue of his relationship, he once supervised Xu Huang to attack Shangyong, and defeated Zhuge Jin during the Nanyang period, with outstanding achievements, and his talents are no less than five good generals.

It's a pity that this Xiahou Shang is an amorous species, and his wife is a Cao woman, because Xiahou Shang favors his concubine too much, Cao Pi sent someone to kill his concubine, and Xiahou Shang also died of illness.

There is a saying in history that I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, although this allusion is not about Cao Pi and Xiahou Shang, but it is also very appropriate for the two of them.

It was precisely because of Xiahou Shang's death that Sima Yi was able to take the position and take charge of military affairs, replacing Xiahou Shang to supervise Jingzhou Nanyang.

And the young man needless to say, he was called the second son by the soldiers, and there was Xiahou Shang, Sima Yi went out to follow, naturally it was Emperor Wen of Cao Wei, and the second son of the Cao family was Cao Pi.

Listening to Cao Pi's words, Sima Yi shook his head and said lightly: "Ling Jun has the grace of recommending me, it is Yi's honor to be able to take care of Ling Jun on this trip, and the son can take me out, and he is even more confidant, so why hard?" ”

But Xiahou Shang laughed and said: "Madam gave birth to a girl for me, what is there to accompany, it is important to follow Zihuan out to perform the task." This time, the lord handed over this task to Zihuan, if you successfully cure Mr., you will definitely be able to suppress Cao Zijian.

But what I don't understand is that Ling Jun is against the lord being called the lord, and now he is seriously ill and he will go when he goes, why does the lord still let you take him out for medical treatment? ”

It turned out that in the carriage was Xun Yu, who was already seriously ill.

In history, Xun Yu died of illness in 212 AD, which happened to be this year.

Originally, according to the trajectory of history, this year Cao Cao would attack Jiangdong, Xun Yu followed Cao Cao until Shouchun was seriously ill and could not continue to move forward, Cao Cao had to let Xun Yu recuperate in Shouchun, but God was jealous of talents, Xun Yu was ill in Shouchun, and soon died of illness at the age of fifty.

Today's Xun Yu has accumulated contradictions with Cao Cao.

At the beginning of the year, Cao Cao wanted to enter the Duke of Jueguo, but was stopped by Xun Yu. A large part of the reason why Xun Yu was seriously ill was also because of the conflict with Cao Cao and the relationship between him and his illness.

In history, there is another theory about Xun Yu's death, saying that Cao Cao gave Xun Yu an empty food box, and Xun Yu committed suicide by taking poison.

However, this statement, in the end, was ruthlessly broken by the facts, and the friendship of the lord and the minister for twenty years, Cao Cao was so cruel that he was reluctant to kill Xun Yu.

Due to Liu Chan's previous use of tactics to capture Nanjun, Cao Cao and Jiangdong were both defeated, and Cao Cao's troops on the front line of Yangzhou Shouchun had not yet recovered. Therefore, this year, Cao Cao did not attack Jiangdong according to the historical trajectory.

However, the contradiction between Xun Yu and Cao Cao is still the same, Cao Cao wanted to enter the Duke of the Kingdom at the beginning of the year, but was stopped by Xun Yu, and the friendship between the two monarchs and ministers for 20 years broke down.

However, when Xun Yu was seriously ill, Cao Cao couldn't bear it, twenty years of friendship between monarchs and ministers, Xun Yu made countless contributions to Cao Cao, and could be called the first hero, how could Cao Cao be willing to let Xun Yu leave?

It's just Xun Yu's disease, it's a heart disease, the northern doctors are helpless, Cao Cao learned that the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing was in Jiangling, so he sent Cao Pi to Xiangyang with Xun Yu, and secretly robbed Zhang Zhongjing to Xiangyang to heal Xun Yu's body.

Listening to Xiahou Shang's words, Cao Pi's face changed, and he hurriedly scolded in a low voice: "Boren, don't talk nonsense, these words are not for you and me to discuss!" ”

After Cao Pi finished speaking, he looked at Sima Yi and glanced at the carriage.

Sima Yi understood, gently lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw that the people inside were not awake, put down the curtain, and shook his head at Cao Pi.

Seeing that Xun Yu in the carriage had not woken up, Xiahou Shang muttered in a low voice: "Originally, Ling Jun has been friends with the lord for more than 20 years, and now he actually wants to be a Hanchen, he and the lord are no longer of the same heart, what else is there to treat." ”
