Chapter 1002: Critically Ill
On the city wall of Tanxian County, Chen Xu stood under the sun and looked into the distance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this moment, he did not destroy the joy of a prince in his heart, but had a kind of melancholy, feeling empty in his heart.
"The people who used to be familiar, the people who fought together, have all passed away one by one."
The June sun was very scorching, but Chen Xu insisted on standing on the city wall, letting his sweat wet his clothes.
"My lord, it's too hot here, let's go into the city."
Jiang Wei looked at Chen Xu, whose face was a little pale, and couldn't help but persuade him.
Since Dian Wei's death, Chen Xu has been a little taciturn, and his body, which was gradually improving, has deteriorated again.
When the Cao clan was not extinguished, Chen Xu was still holding back a belly of anger in his heart.
However, since Guo Jia died in front of him, Chen Xu suddenly felt that there was no pursuit, and the breath in his heart slowly dissipated.
Hearing Jiang Wei's words, Chen Xu raised his head to look at the scorching sun and said, "Enter the city." ”
Half a month later, Zhang Liao, Sima Yi, and Zhang He led their troops from Qingzhou to Tan County, and Chen Xu met them and comforted Zhang He.
In March, everything in Qing and Xu Erzhou was decided, and although there were still sporadic troublesome incidents, it could not stop the fact that the Guanzhong Army had become the master here.
After getting Qing and Xu Erzhou, Chen Xu fulfilled his promise and treated the Cao family well.
It's just that Chen Xu moved Cao Cao's lineage to Chang'an, and then gave them some titles, putting them under house arrest in disguise.
In addition to not being able to leave Chang'an, the lives of Cao Cao's descendants are also very superior.
Cao Pi and the others seemed to have expected this kind of end a long time ago, and they did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, but some young talents of the Xiahou clan were promoted and reused by Chen Xu.
The tiger idiot Xu Chu was unwilling to surrender, Chen Xu did not embarrass him, Xu Chu returned to the field; Xun Yu hung up the seal and left, and it was not until many years later that someone found this old man in the mountains.
There are some veterans who followed Cao Cao, who are also loyal, and have retired to the fields, preparing to spend their old age in peace.
Liu Ye, a relative of the Han family, was so angry that he couldn't afford to fall ill and died soon after.
The Cao clan perished, and the princes of the world were almost swept away, leaving only Sun Quan to hold on to Jiangdong.
However, when the whole of Eastern Wu learned the news of the destruction of the Cao clan, they were shocked, and many Jiangdong clans began to float in their minds.
In the winter of 226 AD, Chen Xu convened all the civil and military forces to discuss the matter of conquest of Sun Quan in the Tanxian Prefecture Governor's Mansion.
At this time, Chen Xu was much clearer than before, and his eyes were not as bright as before.
"The world has been in turmoil for a long time, and Lone has swept the princes of the world with great righteousness, and to this day, there is still Sun Quan who stubbornly resists by relying on the Yangtze River."
"Lone is ready to use all the troops and horses in the territory after the spring of the next year, go south to eliminate Sun Quan, and dominate the world!"
When the generals heard this, their faces showed excitement.
If Chen Xu really unifies the world, then everyone present will become the founding heroes of Great Qin and will definitely go down in history.
It would be a supreme honor, and everyone would naturally rush to be the first to be the vanguard.
Seeing the performance of the generals under his command, Chen Xu couldn't help but smile on his face, but there were still a few months before the beginning of spring next year, and he was not in a hurry to discuss the expedition.
In the courtyard of King Qin's temporary mansion, Chen Xu was wrapped in thick cotton clothes, sat on a large bluestone, and quietly looked at the plum in front of him.
Jiang Wei stood quietly behind Chen Xu and held up an oil-paper umbrella to shield Chen Xu from the wind and snow.
Snowflakes slowly fall from the sky, dancing with the breeze, trying to bloom the glory of their lives.
On the eaves, thick icicles hang long, and you can see that this winter is very cold.
"The wind and rain send spring back, and the snow welcomes spring, and it is already a cliff with ice, and there are still flowers and branches."
Chen Xu slowly muttered a later poem, only to find that it was not appropriate.
I had the heart to come up with a poem that suited the occasion, only to find that after so many years, I couldn't remember many things.
Closing his eyes, Chen Xu struggled to remember those skyscrapers and the bustling crowd.
However, although he had this concept in his heart, he never had a way in his mind to outline the situation in the afterlife.
He struggled to recall his parents and relatives in later generations, but found that he only remembered their names.
"Is it because I'm old, or are the memories in my mind just illusory?"
At this moment, Chen Xu was confused.
In fact, the current Chen Xu is no longer the Chen Xu of later generations.
When they first came to the Han Dynasty, the souls of the two Chen Xu had been completely fused, and they were not separated from each other at all, otherwise Chen Xu, who came from later generations, would never have been able to melt into this era so quickly.
Moreover, compared with the memories of more than 20 years in later generations, Chen Xu lived in the Han Dynasty for a longer time.
Some memories may not be forgotten in three or five years, but what if they are replaced by ten, twenty, thirty, or forty years?
No matter how deep the memory is, there is always a vague moment.
"Hey!"
Looking at the plum blossoms swaying in the cold wind, Chen Xu suddenly sighed heavily.
For some reason, during this period of time, Chen Xu lost his previous vigor and determination, and he was always a little sad.
"Lord!"
At this moment, Zhou Yu walked in from outside, with a joy on his face that could not be concealed.
However, when he arrived on a cold snowy day, his own lord was still sitting on the bluestone, even though the snow on the bluestone had already been cleared, Zhou Yu couldn't help frowning.
"Lord, you're not in good health, so why do you want to stay outside?"
Although Zhou Yu said this, he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Wei, with a hint of reproach in his eyes.
Jiang Wei looked innocent, but he didn't say anything to defend himself.
"Gong Jin!"
After seeing Zhou Yu, Chen Xu also had a smile on his face, got up to greet him, and grabbed Zhou Yu's right arm.
Chen Xu was full of smiles, and he was not angry at all because of Zhou Yu's reproach, but played a round for Jiang Wei.
"Boyo repeatedly admonished, but I wanted to come out to watch the plum, but I couldn't stand for a long time, so I asked Boyo to clear the snow from the bluestone and sit on it."
Zhou Yu said: "The lord's health is not very good, try to stay in the house and bake the fire." ”
Since Zhou Yu surrendered, Chen Xu has treated him very well, and Zhou Yu is also grateful to Chen Xu for his kindness and righteousness, and he has done his duty with due diligence.
Therefore, seeing Chen Xu's appearance, Zhou Yu suddenly couldn't help but admonish.
Chen Xu smiled all over his face, took Zhou Yu's arm and said, "Okay, okay, listen to Gongjin's words, let's go into the house now." ”
Hearing Chen Xu's words, Zhou Yu felt a little helpless,
During this time, Zhou Yu obviously felt that his father-in-law's personality had changed a lot, with less sharp domineering and more childishness.
"The lord is like this, so it looks even more cute."
Following Chen Xu into the house, Jiang Wei hurriedly asked people to make a charcoal fire, and Chen Xu and Zhou Yu sat on both sides of the charcoal fire.
Chen Xu put his hands on the charcoal fire, rubbed them vigorously, and then brought his hands to his mouth and sighed.
"In such a cold weather, Gongjin came to me for something important?"
Chen Xu's health deteriorated again, and after he defeated Xuzhou, he handed over everything to his subordinates, and Zhou Yu was naturally arrested.
Chen Xu is idle, but the ministers and generals under his command are very busy every day.
Therefore, if it weren't for something important, Zhou Yu would not have come to meet Chen Xu.
Zhou Yu's face was solemn, and he said: "I have found the trace of a person, if I can say that this person can help, it will be much easier to attack Soochow in the spring of next year." ”
Chen Xu was slightly stunned and asked, "Who is the person who can have such ability?" ”
Zhou Yu said: "Donglai Tai Shi Ci! ”
Chen Xu was stunned on the spot at first, and then overjoyed, and said: "If this person really comes to vote, the fall of Soochow will only be in the mliest." ”
Zhou Yu and Tai Shici were the two most influential people in Soochow before.
If Tai Shici also came to defect to Chen Xu, when Chen Xu attacked Sun Quan, and let the two of them lead the troops and horses, it would definitely be said that many Eastern Wu generals would be surrendered.
In this way, the battle to destroy Soochow will be much easier.
After the excitement, Chen Xu said: "Taishi Ziyi hung up the seal and left, and then disappeared, where did Gongjin find it?" ”
Zhou Yu replied: "Ziyi is a clan from Donglai, Qingzhou, and I sent out many soldiers to search for his hometown, and finally found Ziyi. ”
Chen Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Since I have found the trace of General Taishi, I should personally go and invite him." ”
Zhou Yu hurriedly admonished: "The lord is in poor health, and it is not suitable to travel for a long time, so leave this matter to me to deal with." ”
Chen Xu thought about it for a long time, felt that Zhou Yu's words were reasonable, and immediately wrote a handwritten letter, in which he sincerely expressed his admiration for Tai Shici.
Zhou Yu received the letter, and led hundreds of cavalry to Donglai in the wind and snow.
In the territory of Donglai, in a slightly dilapidated thatched hut, Tai Shici sat cross-legged on the bed, gently stroking his sword.
At this time, Tai Shici was much lighter than before, and his hair was a little gray.
Tai Shici and Chen Xu were in the same year, and died as early as 206 AD in history at the age of forty.
However, due to the appearance of Chen Xu, the trajectory of Tai Shici's life changed, and he lived for 20 more years and still did not die.
Influenced by the romance, perhaps in the eyes of many people, Tai Shici in history is quite valued in Eastern Wu, and he is one of the best generals in Eastern Wu.
However, this is not the case.
Tai Shi Ci is Sun Ce's real confidant, and after Sun Quan inherited the Jiangdong foundation, he ostensibly let Tai Shi Ci rule all things in the south, but in fact it was not a disguised exile.
Therefore, after Sun Ce's death, Tai Shici always stayed in the south of Eastern Wu and did not participate in the war in the north at all.
Tai Shici is not as written in the romance, he has made outstanding achievements after serving Sun Quan, and he was not killed by several arrows when he was fighting with Zhang Liao.
In fact, Tai Shi Ci has been in the south, probably because he is depressed because he is not reused.
Cao Cao knew that Tai Shi Ci was not reused, and deliberately asked people to give Tai Shi Ci a brocade box, which contained angelica.
Tai Shi Ci's hometown is Donglai, in history, Donglai has long been taken by Cao Cao, Cao Cao gave Tai Shi Ci Angelica, and the meaning of surrender is self-evident.
It's just that although Tai Shici has not been reused by Sun Quan, he still refused Cao Cao's solicitation for the sake of loyalty in his heart.
Before Tai Shici died, he raised his arms and shouted: "The eldest husband was born in the world, and he should bring a three-foot long sword to ascend to the Son of Heaven Step." Now I haven't done what I wanted, but I have to die! ”
In the eyes of many people, Tai Shici's words are full of pride, but if they are combined with his life experience, you will find the bitterness in it.
From another point of view, this sentence has changed its meaning: you can't fight on the battlefield with a three-foot sword, you can't be promoted to an official in the court, and you will die depressed if you don't reach your ambition in life, how many of them are unwilling.
Chen Xu's appearance changed history, and Tai Shici's fate also changed.
Compared with the Tai Shi Ci in history, who was not reused by Sun Quan, the Tai Shi Ci in this time and space was much more important by Sun Quan.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Tai Shici did not die of depression and lived twenty years longer than in history.
But at this time, Tai Shi Ci seemed to be a little described, and it can be seen that after hanging the seal and leaving, Tai Shi Ci was not happy in life.
The most important thing is that when Tai Shici was a general, he had always been honest and modest, and he didn't have the slightest remaining property on his body.
After returning to his hometown, Tai Shici could still hunt for a living at first.
But now that he has become an old man, and when the snow is falling, even if he wants to hunt, he has no chance, so he seems to be a little hungry and cold.
In fact, with Tai Shici's prestige, as long as he is willing to show his identity, the state and county households will definitely fully fund it, and even introduce Tai Shici as a guest.
However, Tai Shici was alone, living in seclusion in a small hut in the mountains, even if he was hungry and cold, he did not ask for help from others.
"Hey!"
Walking to the door and looking at the snowflakes flying outside, Tai Shici couldn't help coughing violently a few times.
"It's a pity that it's not human."
Remembering the scene some time ago, when a soldier found him, Tai Shici couldn't help but shake his head.
The cold wind was biting, and in this dilapidated thatched hut, a generation of famous generals Tai Shici actually died of hunger and cold.
A few days later, when Sergeant Guan came to visit Tai Shici again, all he saw was a cold corpse.
However, it was said that Zhou Yu braved the wind and rain to go north, and before he arrived in Donglai, he knew the news of Tai Shici's death, so he had to return to Tan County the same way.
Zhou Yu had just arrived in Tan County, and heard another bad news, that is, Chen Xu was critically ill.
In the temporary palace of King Qin, Chen Xu was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes were a little blank.
The military doctor diagnosed for a long time before slowly exiting the ward, Chen Ai was already waiting outside, and hurriedly grabbed the military doctor and asked, "How is my father's condition?" ”
The military doctor sighed and said, "The lord was originally only occasionally cold, but he has also left many dark wounds after fighting on the battlefield for so many years. ”
"When I was young, my blood was vigorous, and I was still able to suppress my injuries, but now my blood is decaying, and my old injuries naturally recur, and my body is getting worse day by day."
Chen Ai asked anxiously, "So what is good?" ”
The military doctor pondered for a long time, and then said, "I can only slowly change my condition." ”
