Volume 3 Chapter 245 An Unexpected Visitor
The land of Guanlong, Chang'an. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since the invasion of the Western Regions Alliance, Chang'an has basically become the command center of the Western Front on the Cao Wei side. From Chang'an, to the west, it will engage with the Western Regions coalition forces, and to the north, it will fight with the Xiongnu. This is also fortunate that Liu Bei shared a lot of military pressure from Cao Wei's side from the Western Regions Alliance, and the movements of the Xiongnu side are still a little dragging on, otherwise if the Western Regions Alliance Army and the Xiongnu army press over to Chang'an together, Chang'an City will not be lost, at least it will be a pile of bones and a river of blood in the city.
Zhao Yu was staying in Chang'an City at the moment. It is said that Zhao Yu has stayed in Chang'an since he completed the "docking" between Lao Cao and Liu Bei at that time, and in addition to being the liaison officer between Cao, Liu and Lu, he also acts as a soldier of Cao's army...... Well, in modern parlance, "gunnery instructor" or "tactical advisor". Although such an identity has no real power in Cao Ying, there is no problem in saying "noble". Later, Lao Cao left Chang'an for some reason, and Zhao Yu also stayed in Chang'an and continued to assist Xia Houyuan and others.
At this time, it was already the beginning of the twenty-sixth year of Jian'an, the spring cold on the Chang'an side had not gone, the winter snow was still there, and this kind of weather battle was a little unbeatable, but Zhao Yu had nothing to do for a while, so he held the stove and read a book in his residence. I was looking here, and suddenly the maid came to report that someone asked to see her, Zhao Yu thought that the guard on the Chang'an side didn't understand something and came to ask for advice, so he asked the maid to invite the guest to the living room, and he cleaned up what should be cleaned up and came out to greet the guest.
I just saw someone coming, but Zhao Yu didn't know him. You must know that Zhao Yu has been in Chang'an for almost a year, and his identity is an instructor, so anyone with a bit of identity on Chang'an's side, Zhao Yu can be called a name if he doesn't say it, but he can always be familiar. And this person Zhao Yu really doesn't have any image at all, obviously not like a person here in Chang'an.
With a little doubt, Zhao Yu exchanged names with the other party. After a few polite words, the person who came asked Zhao Yu to break up the attendants or something, saying that it was an important thing to tell him, and Zhao Yu hesitated a little and agreed to the request.
When the servant retreated, the person who came took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yu respectfully. Zhao Yu hesitated to open the letter and take a closer look, but he was stunned after only a few glances, and then raised his head and said, "You are Cao Ziwen (Cao Zhang)'s guest?" ”
The person who came nodded vigorously: "Miss Yu, my lord is waiting in the wine shop in Chang'an City now, and I hope that Miss Yu can go and meet my lord." Actually, it was supposed to be my father-in-law who came to visit in person, but Miss Rain, you also know that the lord's appearance is unique, and it would be too easy to come here......"
Zhao Yu waved his hand to signal that there was no need to say anything about it. She has been here with Cao Wei for so long, and she is relatively familiar with some sensitive things in Cao Wei, and Cao Zhang's inability to show up easily does not need to be explained.
In fact, Zhao Yu also felt that it was a pity that Cao Zhang's was hidden, but Zhao Yu understood that this was politics, and it was not her turn to do much in this regard, so Zhao Yu didn't pay much attention to it. And at this time, Cao Zhang suddenly said that he wanted to meet her, which made Zhao Yu a little confused.
Did he want Zhao Yu to come forward to talk to Cao Pi, so that Cao Zhang could lead the troops to fight again? This is obviously unrealistic, because Zhao Yu can't say anything in front of Cao Pi, and it may be a bit possible to replace it with Lao Cao. However, if Lao Cao is still there, Cao Zhang will not be hidden in the snow.
No matter what, Zhao Yu still decided to meet Cao Zhang, at least to hear what Cao Zhang wanted to do.
————————————————————
A few moments later, in a small wine shop on the east side of Chang'an City.
"Thank you, Miss Rain, for coming and meeting you here. Cao Zhang is not good at talking, so he can only do it first as respect. ”
They each raised their glasses, Zhao Yu just took a sip, but Cao Zhang dried up the wine in the glass. When both sides put down their wine glasses, and there was silence between them for a while, Zhao Yu spoke: "Ziwen saw me, what is the matter?" ”
Cao Zhang was silent for a while, and then said: "Liaoxi Jiebao, has the rain girl received it?" ”
Zhao Yu nodded. In fact, on the Chang'an side, there may not be anyone who received the battle report from the western Liaoning side earlier than Zhao Yu. Except, of course, the person responsible for receiving the telegram. However, Zhao Yu did not disclose it positively at that time, because according to Lu Ren's request, the news was to be officially disclosed to Chang'an by the official personnel of Emperor Liu Xie.
Cao Zhang, who was here, continued: "Then Lu Lingqi is seriously injured......
Zhao Yu then nodded. As Lu Ren's insider, of course Zhao Yu knew these things relatively clearly.
Cao Zhang poured himself full of wine again, and said sullenly: "Rain girl, don't blame me for speaking straight. It's not that I look down on you women, but I've always thought that you women should stay away from the things like fighting and spilling blood on the battlefield, because this is what we hot-blooded men should do. However, in the matter of the battle, I also suffered a big loss on Lu Lingqi. ”
Zhao Yu said: "We once fought together in Juyong Pass, and I heard Lingqi talk about these things at that time. Ziwen, military struggle for profit, military achievements are admired, this is human nature. I don't deny that Lingqi played some tricks on you at that time, but you don't need to hold a grudge against Lingqi because of these things, right? ”
Cao Zhangdao: "I can't talk about holding grudges, I just don't accept it in my heart." Thinking of me, Cao Zhang, is conceited and brave, I dare to say that I also have the courage to be unstoppable, but when I meet her Lu Lingqi, I seem to have been suffering. To be honest, I originally thought that Lu Lingqi would play some tricks and earn military achievements from my hands by tricks, so I originally looked down on her. But after hearing about the battle of Liaoxi, I ......"
Zhao Yu said: "You came to me from Zhongmu just to tell me this?" ”
Cao Zhang shook his head: "Of course it's not for this. What I want to say is...... I don't want to lose to Lu Lingqi. ”
Zhao Yule was happy: "Ziwen, you are machismo!" ”
Cao Zhang was stunned: "What is 'machismo'?" ”
Zhao Yu shook his head again. She has been by Lu Ren's side for a long time, and this kind of noun can be understood as soon as she says it, but it is too troublesome to explain it to Cao Zhang.
But Cao Zhang is not stupid, and this kind of word is not difficult to understand literally. After being stunned, Cao Zhang slapped the wine table and said, "How can a man's husband lose to a woman?" ”
Zhao Yu shrugged her shoulders and didn't care about Cao Zhang's reaction, because she had seen too much of this kind of thing. Tilting his head and thinking about it again, Zhao Yu said to Cao Zhang: "Even if you are not convinced, even if you are unwilling, what can you do?" I understand that you also want to lead the soldiers into battle to fight now, but I have to make it clear to you, if you want me to go and make a suggestion to Cao Zihuan to let you lead the troops and horses again, then you are really looking for the wrong person. With whom to fight, this is your Cao family's business, and when will I get an outsider to speak? ”
Cao Zhang smiled bitterly: "I understand this, I will not let you talk to Zihuan about this kind of thing, and Zihuan will not let me lead my troops and horses to fight again." That's why I've come to you because I want your help with something else. ”
Zhao Yu said: "What's the matter?" I'll try to help if I can, and don't blame me if I can't. ”
Cao Zhang was silent again. After a long time, Cao Zhangcai finally made up his mind: "Miss Yu, the favor I want to ask you for help is actually not a big deal for you, I believe you can help me too...... I want to go to Yizhou. ”
Zhao Yu's hand shook when he heard this: "What did you say?" Do you want to go to Yizhou!? ”
Cao Zhang nodded vigorously.
Zhao Yu is basically a woman who can afford the words "ice and snow smart", so at this time, she has vaguely guessed what Cao Zhang is thinking. But even so, Zhao Yu couldn't help but say to Cao Zhang with doubts: "Ziwen, what are you doing in Yizhou?" ”
Cao Zhangdao: "I want to visit Cangshu." Of course, if you have the opportunity, you also want to meet Lu Zhengnan (Lu Ren is now officially promoted to General Zhengnan, so the title has changed). ”
Zhao Yu frowned and looked at Cao Zhang for a long time, and finally said noncommittally: "If you want to go to Yizhou, this is indeed not a big deal, but after all, your identity is not ordinary, and I don't dare to make my own decisions." In this way, you wait for me here for two days, let me ask Lu Zhengnan what he means first, how about it? ”
Cao Zhang nodded. The telegraph was no secret at this time, and Cao Zhang knew that Zhao Yu could contact Lu Ren.
————————————————————
At this time, Lu Ren had already returned to Yizhou and was preparing to take Lu Lingqi to the "secret realm". It's not that Lu Ren is procrastinating, but that Lu Ren has too many troubles to avoid, and because he went to Liaoxi, there are many things here in Yizhou that Lu Ren needs to solve. As for Lu Lingqi, it doesn't matter if she rests in Yizhou for a few days with the color first.
Because of this, Lu Ren, who was busy, received an encrypted telegram from Zhao Yu. After analyzing it by hand, Lu Ren also stayed on the spot.
"What are you doing? It's okay for Cao Chong to come to me, I can understand this, but what does Cao Zhang, this kid want to run to me, what does it mean? ”
Then analyzing the follow-up content, Lu Ren fell into a state of contemplation: "Cao Chong came to me here for political refuge, Cao Zhang, this kid is unwilling to be hidden by Cao Pixue according to Zhao Yu's analysis, so he wants to find an opportunity to return to the battlefield." It's just that on Cao Pi's side, Cao Pi will not give Cao Zhang soldiers and horses again, so Cao Zhang wants to find another way...... If that's the case, it's not hard to understand that this kid belongs to the kind of person who wants to find his life value on the battlefield, right? So should I let Cao Chang come over? ”
Just as he was hesitating, Xun Yu came to Lu Ren's side, and Lu Ren handed the message to Xun Yu, and at the same time explained the doubts in his heart to Xun Yu. And Xun Yu only thought about it for a moment after reading and listening, and then said categorically to Lu Ren: "Yihao doesn't have to hesitate, let Cao Ziwen come to you." ”
Lu Ren said: "Xun Gong, what do you mean?" ”
Xun Yu said: "The old man and Cao Ziwen have also dealt with a lot, this son is brave but has no city, so there is no need to worry about what he will have in many things, to put it simply, this son is at ease." ”
Lu Ren said: "But after all, he is Lao Cao's son, and the situation is different from Cao Cangshu, how can I say that I can use it?" ”
Xun Yu said: "The old man understands Yihao's concerns in your heart, but now you won't be wrong to use him at this time." ”
Lu Ren said: "Xun Gong, what do you mean?" ”
Xun Yu said: "Then the old man will talk about it in detail." After our victory in Liaoxi, the next thing to do is to aid Jinyang in the west, and what kind of battles will be fought, this matter is not easy to say. According to our preliminary calculations, it is likely that we will only go there with soldiers to wave the flag and shout, but who can guarantee that it will not collide with the Xiongnu's partial division? ”
Lu Ren nodded: "I understand this." ”
Xun Yu said: "It is unlikely that we will send too many reinforcements, according to your and my preliminary assumptions, we will send 8,000 troops, and then count the 5,000 of Zhou Yu and Sun County Lord, a total of 13,000 people." If we really accidentally encounter most of the Xiongnu's partial divisions, this 13,000 troops will probably be a little insufficient, and we will inevitably call for help from Cao Wei. So Yihao, do you think that at this time, Cao Pi will sincerely send troops to help in the war? ”
Lu Ren shrugged, because God really knows about this. But at this time, Lu Ren also understood some of the meaning of Xun Yu's words.
Looking at Xun Yu again, he continued: "Although Cao Ziwen is young, he has fought in the north many times, as if he was on the line of Jinyang and Juyongguan, he knows the geographical environment of that area very well, which is one of his worthwhile; Secondly, Cao Ziwen has a strong personality and brave combat, and he has a great prestige among the soldiers on the side, so if something happens to the troops we send, Cao Ziwen's prestige in Cao's army can solve a lot of troubles for us, which is the second; Again, although Cao Ziwen has now been stripped of military power by Cao Zihuan, with his prestige in Jinyang, it is not difficult to recruit a group of local young men to participate in the war in the name of righteousness and bravery. ”
Lu Ren nodded: "Then it is equivalent to attaching Cao Zhang under our name, right?" And the most troublesome thing for this kid Cao Zhang is that he doesn't have money, food, and ordnance in his hands, so he has to come to me for help. ”
Xun Yu said: "So Yihao, it won't hurt you to tie Cao Ziwen to your chariot at this time." Also, don't forget that there is also a Sun County Lord and Zhou Gongjin who are also attached to your name, and the people in Cao Yingzhong will not have a good look at them. But if you pull Cao Ziwen into the water, you can actually save a lot of trouble. ”
Lu Ren said: "That's right, but I'm worried that when Cao Zhang and Zhou Yu see above, they will fight first." Coalition Coalition Forces, I have to be considered the nature of coalition forces, right? But the most troublesome thing for the coalition is that they have to worry about their internal discord. Again, these numbers are all big heads, so do you think I have anyone on hand who can control them? ”
Xun Yu thought about it and was silent, because this was indeed a problem......
