Chapter 12 Cabin Deliberations
Yuan Yun still didn't like horseback riding, so at this moment he just leisurely chose to sit on top of the giant tank, this huge thing with a length of fifty meters and a width of almost everything he could think of, as the flagship of the Gunpowder Army, the whole thing was armed by Ma Jun into a monster.
Zhang Liao felt very helpless that Yuan Yun was unwilling to ride a horse with him on the periphery, but he also knew very well in his heart that the other party was indeed not suitable for marching and fighting, and it was also very reassuring to be well protected in a powerful tank at the moment.
After accepting Zhang Liao's disdain, Yuan Yun sat comfortably on the deck of the giant tank, Xiao Liu and Shi Shen also skillfully took out the parasol and iced tea, and even ordered one of the guards to start fanning, and the whole scene looked like sunbathing.
Yuan Yun now felt that everything was very comfortable except for some bumps in the ground on his buttocks, and just as he was about to pour the iced tea into his mouth, a thick cloud of dust drifted over very uninterestingly, and then naturally he couldn't look at it.
After Yuan Yun coughed a few times, he immediately jumped up from the recliner, then frowned, and decided that it would be more practical to go back to his cabin, where not only was there ice to cool down, but the dust would not be so big, and the only drawback was that there were no windows, so it looked very stuffy.
When he returned to the cabin, he happened to meet Xu You, and the other party instantly squeezed out a smile, and then said: "Cao Ang is really famous in Xiliang, our Luoyang Gunpowder Army can be regarded as a big face, the old man heard that Cao Sikong knew about this, and specially feasted the guests for three days, and now Cao Ang's position as the prince can be regarded as foolproof." ”
"I'm proud, Mr. Ziyuan." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he pointed to his cabin, and the two quickly got in.
After Xu You sat down, he continued to say to Yuan Yun: "The excuse given by Yuan Hou is really wonderful, we sent troops under the banner of persuading Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the old officials in the DPRK didn't even dare to mention a word of opposition, Ma Teng and Han Sui were even more dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and now they can only swallow this bitter fruit hard, and now most of the Xiliang realm has come into our hands, Han Sui also sent a letter to the imperial court, willing to lead the troops to surrender, this is thanks to the people called Yan Xing, they are in the battle with Ma Teng, I heard that Yan Xing almost killed Ma Chao, but the iron spear in his hand suddenly broke, and he could only hit Ma Chao's neck with the broken spear, but let the other party escape with his life.
Now that the war in the Xiliang realm has stabilized, after Han Sui surrendered to the imperial court, Ma Teng also knew that the general trend had gone, so he also submitted a letter of surrender and disbanded his own troops, planning to go to Yecheng alone. ”
Although Yuan Yun already knew everything in Cao Ang's letter, he didn't choose to interrupt when he saw Xu You's happiness at this moment, and waited until the other party happily explained what had happened again, then frowned slightly, and said: "I'm a little worried about Ma Chao, who is still staying in Xiliang, this person has always been unruly, surrender today, and may rebel tomorrow, we should still be on guard." ”
Xu You nodded and said: "Cao Ang Shizi has always been cautious, so he only let Ma Chao lead the remaining three thousand knights to retreat, and the relative Han Sui also disbanded his own deployment, and only took three thousand men and horses to retreat to Liangzhou, I am afraid it will be very difficult to come out again." ”
Yuan Yun touched his chin and felt that Han Sui could leave it alone for the time being, but Ma Chao had to watch it closely, and history explained it very clearly, this thing could not care about his father's life or death, and finally dragged Han Sui to continue the rebellion.
Thinking of this, Yuan Yun still ordered Shi Shen to let his flying pigeon pass the book to Cao Ang, be sure to send someone to keep an eye on Ma Chao, as long as he has any abnormal movement, he must be quickly eliminated, otherwise Xiliang will immediately fall into chaos again.
Xu You saw that Yuan Yun sent Shi Shen away, and suddenly changed his words, and said: "The person Yuan Hou asked for in Xiliang seems to have been found, and the other party is just a child, could it be that Yuan Hou is not old?" ”
After Xu You finished speaking, he saw the question on Yuan Yun's face, and could only explain: "It's the kid named Jiang Wei, according to what Yuan Hou said, Cao Ang's son found their mother and son in Tianshui County, but unfortunately his father has died in battle, although the mother and son are taken care of by the county, but their lives are very miserable, but even so, Jiang Wei's mother is strong by nature, and she refused Cao Ang's arrangement to send people in person, so she didn't plan to go to Luoyang." ”
Yuan Yun was taken aback, and immediately asked, "What happened later?" Could it be that their mother and son are still in Tianshui? ”
Seeing that Yuan Yun was nervous, Xu Yu suddenly began to have some doubts, for the sake of an unknown child, is this so? Even if Jiang Wei's ancestors are counted, there have never been any talented figures.
After doubting, Xu Youcai smiled and shook his hand and said: "Yuan Hou is not in a hurry, at first Jiang Wei's mother was reluctant to go to Luoyang, and later Mr. Pang Tong, who accompanied the army, came forward, only saying that Jiang Wei went to Luoyang to worship under Yuan Hou's door, but he didn't think that his mother immediately agreed when she heard this, and packed up and started to rush to Luoyang on the same day, Yuan Hou's current reputation is famous all over the world." ”
When Yuan Yun heard the news, his face was immediately overjoyed, another famous general of the Three Kingdoms entered the urn, his cheating method was simply unpleasant, and it was very exciting, and even a little excited, just said that Jiang Wei's mother agreed to go to Luoyang when she heard her name, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Seeing the excitement on Yuan Yun's face, Xu You was even more puzzled in his heart, so he could only ask: "Why is Yuan Hou so concerned about this mother and son, is it because of your old habits?" ”
Yuan Yun was stunned, so he could only talk nonsense: "My master was active in the Xiliang area before, so he had some friendship with Jiang Wei's family, but now there is a war over there, and his father has already died in battle, so I just take care of it." ”
Xu You, an old fox, where would he believe Yuan Yun's nonsense, but he has always been tactful, and seeing that Yuan Yun was reluctant to say more at this moment, he didn't ask anymore, but he was thinking in his heart, when he returned to Luoyang and saw Jiang Wei, he would inevitably ask a good question, believing that a child was not his opponent, and it was estimated that he would find out the truth in a few words.
Just as Xu You was about to change the topic and start talking about the Northern Expedition Karasuma, he saw a subordinate of his own outside the door report that a new flying pigeon was sent to Luoyang.
Xu You took the letter with a smile, but he didn't open it, but handed it to Yuan Yun on the side, this old fox is now very clear about this kind of subordinate matter, although he is in charge of the information transmission this time, but now that Yuan Yun is in front of the handsome, it is naturally the handsome man who reads it first.
Yuan Yun took the letter from Xu You's hand, just glanced at it a few times, was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and bared his teeth and said: "Zhang Lu has also descended, are they getting together?" ”
Xu You took the letter in Yuan Yun's hand, glanced at it slightly, and immediately smiled: "Zhang Lu is not too stupid, we blamed this god stick to kill Duan Xuan of Chang'an, and now that the Xiliang realm has also been pacified, he has no reason not to be in a hurry, just relying on the strength of their Hanzhong, and Liu Zhang is also eyeing him, if he wants to save his life, he can only choose to surrender." ”
Speaking of this, Xu You's laughter suddenly rose a few degrees, and then shook the letter in his hand and continued: "Cao Ang Shizi is really a smart person, as soon as Zhang Lu surrendered, he asked the other party to first go to Xu Du to accept the division of the imperial court, and then go to Yecheng to wait for Cao Sikong's reception, if Zhang Lu wants to cheat in it, it is estimated that it will be exposed immediately, but this god stick is also a single, and even announced the world, saying that he Hanzhong Zhang Lu admired Cao Sikong's wisdom, so he chose to surrender, so we really can't do anything with him." ”
After speaking, Xu You glanced at Yuan Yun slightly, and then continued: "Does Yuan Hou have any holiday with that Zhang Lu, if you want to take revenge, the old man still recommends that you be patient, at least wait for two or three years, and then Zhang Lu will also be in Xudu or Yecheng anyway, and then I believe that no one will have any opinions, and now if you kill the other party, I am afraid that everyone in the world will be cold." ”
Yuan Yun froze, then pointed to his nose and asked, "Do I really look like the kind of person who will repay me?" Why do you always think that as long as I target someone, I have an enmity with the other person? ”
Xu You didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "Like, very similar!" Moreover, Yuan Yun treated Zhang Lu with unprecedented cruelty, and he didn't know how much food he knocked back from him, plus what kind of chivalrous village was arranged in Hanzhong, and he even tied a dog leash to Zhang Lu, so that he no longer had the capital to go out of Hanzhong, isn't it a big feud when he thinks about it? ”
Yuan Yun touched his chin, then nodded and said: "It's indeed a bit similar, it's just that I really don't have any hatred with Zhang Lu, but it's just that he is easy to bully, and Luoyang was very short of food at the time, so I always think of him, and now that I think about it, even I feel a little too much." ”
Xu You smiled bitterly, and now he really felt that Yuan Yun really didn't have any hatred for Zhang Lu, so he also let go of a piece of his heart, so he continued to laugh: "The credit for Zhang Lu's surrender this time is not from our side, but the merit of Yuan Hou's senior brother Ge Xuan. ”
Yuan Yun was stunned, frowned, and said, "Why did Ge Xuan pop out again?" ”
Before Xu You could answer, Yuan Yun immediately remembered something, so he smiled bitterly: "It seems that this matter has been decided by Cao Sikong a long time ago, right?" I heard that this Ge Xuan was sent to Hanzhong by Cao Sikong, and also promised to build a temple for him in Xudu, it seems that he went to Hanzhong to find a way to persuade Zhang Lu to surrender, right? ”
Xu You nodded and said: "That's right, a few years ago, Cao Sikong had already set up a bureau, but the reason why Ge Xuan was able to succeed this time was that most of the credit was actually due to our Luoyang, after all, once Xiliang was pacified, Hanzhong would become the target of public criticism, and Zhang Lu didn't take much care of Ge Xuan when he saw it before, but this time he directly sent a letter of surrender to Cao Sikong through this person, so this credit was taken by Ge Xuan." ”
Yuan Yun smiled and said, "Cao Sikong is naturally an understanding person, and our Luoyang credit is enough, and there is no shortage of this village." ”
Xu You shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Yuan Hou is generous, but your senior brother doesn't treat you very well, he has already asked Cao Sikong for his life, and plans to come to our Northern Expedition Gunpowder Army to be a counselor, and threatened, saying that he wants to keep an eye on Yuan Hou, and he has to expose your identity as a pseudo-immortal child." ”
"What?" Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, then touched his chin and muttered, "Why is this magic stick running to me?" Is it to dance the gods? ”
