Chapter Eighty-Six: Undercurrent

Wu Shuo knows the nephew in front of him very well, he is majestic on weekdays, and when he encounters a hurdle that he can't get over, he will come to him for help, but this is good, so he can maintain a good relationship with Dong Cheng, and now he is just a waiter, although he has merit in escorting Liu Xie, the son of heaven, but after all, Dong Cheng is the uncle of the country and the father-in-law of today, and this face still has to be given.

The prince on the side looked at the old and the young, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Why should Wu Shilang embarrass Dong Bi, after all, he is the son of Dong Liehou, and now he is being bullied by a small Zhonglang general, it is really unreasonable." ”

Wu Shuo shook his head and sighed lightly, but said to Dong Bi: "You go down first, and I will help you solve this matter after I consider it." ”

Dong Bi's face suddenly turned a little ugly, but after all, the other party was an elder, so he could only grit his teeth and retreat with a farewell.

In fact, even now, Dong Bi has nothing to worry about, the reason why he didn't go to his sister Dong Guiren, but came to Wu Shuo, was that he felt that this matter was not a big deal, Yuan Yun was just a small lieutenant general, even if he had a great merit in capturing Wancheng, so what? In the end, isn't it because of mistakes, and then the merits are canceled out? And it's just a house, so if it's a big deal, he will return 30,000 yuan, so that he still has 30,000 yuan that he robbed, and he won't lose it.

After Dong Bi walked out, Wu Shuo looked at the prince and said, "We used this son to test Cao Cao before, won't the other party know about it?" ”

Wang Zifu shook his head and smiled: "If you really know, you won't send that little Yuan Yun here, but like dealing with the He family, you will have already raided our house, Wu Shilang don't have to worry about it." ”

Wu Shuo nodded, then brought down a pot of hot water from the iron stove in the study, filled the tea bowls of the two, and then whispered to the prince: "What did Lu Bu say over there?" ”

When the prince heard this, he immediately stretched out five fingers and said, "Chen Gong has sent five thousand gold, countless jewels of all kinds, as long as we can make Cao Cao not fight their ideas, these money will be sent to us immediately." ”

Wu Shuo was very satisfied with this number, so he smiled and said: "Cai's Cai Wenji is quite good, with Dong Liehou's eldest son, I think Yemen is right, we have to continue this matter, as long as the Son of Heaven gives the edict to marry, then you can see Cao Cao's reaction, if he ignores it, he still has to listen to the words of the Son of Heaven, with such a good start, those old officials in the court should also know that Cao Cao is not absolute in front of the Son of Heaven, and then we will slowly let Dong Liehou influence the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven can agree, forced the edict to point the finger at Li Dao in Chang'an, and then Cao Cao would have at least a headache, and maybe he would be more relaxed with Lu Bu in Xuzhou. ”

"This plan is very good, I think this matter is okay, Dong Liehou is an old minister after all, or the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, Cao Cao is still more or less taboo, after all, everyone in the world is watching, if the Son of Heaven gives marriage to Dong Liehou's eldest son, I think Cao Cao will definitely be in a hurry, after all, the assets of Cai's big family are not for fun, if Dong Bi marries Cai Wenji, hehe, Dong Liehou is afraid that he will laugh in his dreams." After Wang Zifu finished speaking, he had already drunk a cup of tea, but the ginger flavor in the tea was a little big, which made him a little uncomfortable in his mouth, so his tongue was a little crooked when he spoke.

Wu Shuo pondered for a long time before he figured out the meaning of the prince's suit, then looked at the iron furnace on the side, and asked cautiously, "How is this Yuan Yun?" Has the general ever understood? ”

Wang Zifu shook his hand and said: "It is said that he is the brother of the immortal family, I think he is just a playmate of Cao Ang, the biggest credit for the capture of Wancheng should be Cao Ang, this Yuan Yun doesn't have to care too much, if you are really worried, it is better to let Dong Bi test it, anyway, they are also making trouble at the moment." ”

Wu Shuo nodded, and decided to go back and provoke Dong Bi, which was very easy to do.

……

Liu Bei looked at the secret letter of sheepskin on the table, and various thoughts kept flashing in his heart, whether the letter was written by Yuan Shao or written by himself, which is enough to prove Yuan Shao's sincerity, but the content is a little embarrassing.

Yuan Shao hoped that he could contain Cao Cao in the direction of Xuzhou, and if he agreed, he would send the defenders of Qingzhou to help him capture Xuzhou, drive away LΓΌ Bu and others, and let himself lead Xuzhou Mu again.

It seems that Yuan Shao will use troops against Cao Cao soon, after all, Gongsun Chan can't hold out for long, which can already be seen when he defected to Gongsun Chan before, it is really Gongsun Chan who is stubborn and suspicious, and he can't tolerate a strong man in his eyes, and the reason why he left is that he doesn't want to be destroyed by Yuan Shao with him, and half is actually forced by Gongsun Zhan.

Because he had too deep a friendship with Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, he had long been impatient, and if he didn't leave, he might have been killed.

Now that Yuan Shao has come to him, this is indeed an opportunity, everyone knows that Yuan Shao's current strength can be regarded as the best in the world, as long as he succeeds in eliminating Cao Cao in the south, who can stop him in this world? Maybe the world will belong to their Yuan family sooner or later, as for the Han family? Alas, it is really inhumane.

But Xuzhou can't bear to give up, after all, the clans and people here have worked hard to run it, and now they have been robbed by Lu Bu for nothing, how can this evil breath be swallowed? And Yuan Shao didn't look for Lu Bu but came to him Liu Bei, this is where Yuan Shao was arrogant, when he was the leader of the alliance to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu was also recognized by Yuan Shao as a rebel, and it was impossible to cooperate with Lu Bu.

It's just that he really wants to go to Yuan Shao? After thinking carefully for a moment, Liu Bei still shook his head.

He is not a small character who wants to rely on others, the identity of this Han clan also has to make a difference, Jingzhou has Liu Biao, Shu has Liu Yan, why can't the world have a fief of his Liu Bei? It's not fair at all!

"Big brother, I'm back!" Zhang Fei shouted and walked in from outside the hall.

Liu Bei immediately put a smile on his face, and then casually put Yuan Shao's secret letter in a pile of bamboo slips, which did not attract much attention from Zhang Fei, and then he pointed to the seat on the left and ordered the seat.

Zhang Fei sat down comfortably, and then continued to laugh and said: "Lu Bu's three surnamed slaves are cowardly and only dare to shrink in Xuzhou City, and the nearby soldiers and horses are also not moving, I said that he doesn't have the courage to raise troops to attack, grandma, sooner or later we will enter Xuzhou City and destroy this grandson." ”

Liu Bei frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Let you go and recruit the new soldiers, what are you going to inquire about Lu Bu in Xuzhou?" ”

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I just asked a few new soldiers, about the situation in the direction of Xuzhou City, what are you going to do?" ”

Liu Bei was still not at ease, so he continued: "The third brother of Xuzhou Lu Bu must not come nonsense, you are not allowed to transfer a soldier without my order, now you only need to train soldiers and expand the army, and nothing else is allowed to participate." ”

Zhang Fei exhaled a few breaths of sullen breath a little unwillingly, and then said with a smile: "The name of the eldest brother is here, there are more and more villagers who come to vote nearby, everyone admires the name of the eldest brother's benevolence, just in the past few months since we came back, we have recruited a full 5,000 young people, and the second brother also has 2,000 recruits to join, according to this form, we will soon be able to take Xuzhou back, hehe." ”

Liu Bei's brows furrowed again, and he warned: "I'll say it again, you are not allowed to participate in anything in Xuzhou, second brother, do you know?" ”

Zhang Fei could only pout and nod in agreement when he heard this, but his face was full of reluctance, and he looked like an angry little daughter-in-law.

Seeing that Zhang Fei finally agreed, Liu Bei's heart was a little relieved, and he asked casually: "I don't know what the situation is on Cao Cao's side?" After defeating Yuan, there has been no news since then, and I have always been a little worried. ”

Zhang Fei knew that this was just the eldest brother Liu Bei's self-talk, not asking himself, but he immediately replied with a smile: "If the eldest brother is worried, it is better to call Jian Yong to come and ask, I just saw that he just came back and was eating outside the eldest brother's official office." ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and said a little angrily: "Since Xianhe is back, why don't you come to see me first, this person is really." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, didn't I come?" As soon as Jian Yong's voice fell, he had already walked into the door, and then sat down on the right seat generously, and then said to Zhang Fei again: "General Zhang hasn't seen him for many days, he is even more powerful, I will have something good for you in a while." ”

Zhang Fei thought about what Jian Yong was going to give to him, and immediately saw Jian Yong on the other side licking his lips, and immediately understood that he had brought Xu Du's unique liquor, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, this Jian Yong was the most friendly with himself in the army, and it seemed that he would definitely be able to drink happily tonight, not drunk and not returning, haha, not drunk and not returning.

Liu Bei had already put aside the bamboo slips on the table at this time, and then said to Jian Yong: "How is the situation in Xu Du?" Can Cao Cao make other moves after he goes back? And is there any news from Wancheng? ”

Jian Yong was a little more serious, and then replied: "There was no change when I came, because of the heavy snow on the Wancheng side, the road was difficult to travel, and the spies sent out returned for a longer time, I couldn't wait so I returned to Xiaopei first, as for Cao Cao's side, it was very interesting, his eldest son raided Wancheng successfully, and everyone involved in this matter was rewarded, except for Yuan Yun, the lord said that this is not very interesting?" ”

Liu Bei was confused when he heard this, and said in confusion: "According to our spies, Yuan Yun is the one who came up with the idea to attack Wancheng, why didn't he get a reward?" ”

Jian Yong said with a smile: "Cao Cao is suspicious, I'm afraid he is worried that Yuan Yun's credit will be too great and steal the limelight from his eldest son Cao Ang, so he arranged it like this." ”

Liu Bei thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Although I don't spend much time with Cao Cao, but seeing the momentum of his subordinates, I suspect that this crime is just a slander by someone with ulterior motives, and there must be something else hidden in it." ”

At this time, Zhang Fei only wanted to retire with Jian Yong as soon as possible, so that he could taste the spirits that Xu Du had brought back, so he interjected: "What does the eldest brother care about that Yuan boy?" As long as we keep an eye on Lu Bu and Cao Cao, as long as we guard Xiaopei, when the autumn harvest comes, the team can grow to 30,000 horses, with soldiers and food, so that Lu Bu will naturally look good. ”

Jian Yong heard Lu Bu's name, and said: "Some details say that Guo Jia seems to have sent someone to lurk in Xuzhou, I'm afraid it is aimed at Lu Bu, although I sent a lot of people to investigate this matter, but there is no detailed information, I can only see some clues from some fragmentary information." ”

Liu Bei was stunned, and he was inexplicably worried in his heart, if Cao Cao really wanted to use troops against Lu Bu, then Xiao Pei where he was definitely wouldn't be able to get around, could Cao Cao even destroy himself? Now that he has returned from Yuan Shu's Shouchun, although he has gained a lot of benefits in grain and grass, he will not be able to match Cao Cao's army after all, which is really not good news.

Jian Yong saw that the lord Liu Bei was full of sadness, so he comforted: "Now it's not me, and it's not me, we can only do our own thing, and the others can only be left to fate, hehe, if that Yuan Yun kid is here, you can let him count a hexagram for us, haha, the hexagram calculated by the fairy disciple should be very accurate." ”

Liu Bei nodded, at present, it can only be like this, as for Yuan Yun, he is actually still very tempted, outwitting Wancheng, beheading Zhang Xiu, plus he is only fifteen years old, a teenager at this age is the most hero-worshipping, if he can let Yuan Yun be by his side, he is absolutely confident that he will surrender and become as obedient as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"By the way, I made friends with some people from the Sima clan when I was in Xudu, these people are very interesting, generous, and very arrogant, and later I heard that I am a subordinate of the lord, and I specially prepared to send someone to greet me, but I stopped them, if there is a chance in the future, the lord can see it." Jian Yong added one more sentence, and then followed Zhang Fei out of the inner hall.

Liu Bei ignored Jian Yong's last words, although the Sima clan had heard of it, but it couldn't attract his attention at all, and now he only thought about Yuan Yun. This immortal disciple, it's a pity that his skills are missed, if Cao Cao is really so taboo about Yuan Yun, it would be even better, as long as he generously trusts him in the future, he won't worry that this person will not come to take refuge.

……

"What?!" Yuan Yun suddenly screamed, feeling that this world was a little crazy.

Feng Xuan frowned, and said angrily: "Come with me!" ”
