18. The Great War of the Central Plains (the curtain of reopening)
What is the saddest thing in the world?
It's not that the resources with love go down to 99.99% but get stuck in the last 0.01%, but when you are full of joy and get the resources you need, you find that you need a password to unzip it, but the website that provides the password hangs up......
Probably Cao Chun's children's shoes are in such a mood at this time.
Although there are some things that cannot be done during the funeral, as his father's eldest brother Cao Ren...... Well, because of some of Cao Ren's behaviors when he was young, he has never had any majesty in front of the young and old Cao Chun's children's shoes, not to mention that like his father, not being considered by Cao Chun as a brother who will only love his sister's father is enough to make Cao Ren thank God.
Ahem, even if this is the case, Cao Ren, as the eldest brother, has not entered some obligations as an elder brother.
"So I made a way to introduce girls to my own brother during the funeral, and I said yes, I respect. Love. Target. Elder brother. Long. Big. Person!!! ”
"That's actually something I've been preparing for a long time, but I haven't been able to introduce it to you, and now it's just ......."
"You want to die once, me. Target. Elder brother. Long. Big. Person!!! ”
Seeing that his beloved ♂ younger brother actually showed a Shura-like expression, Cao Ren immediately turned his eyes to Li Shushi for help, but in the face of Cao Ren's eyes begging for help, Li Shushi could only be helpless.
It's not like he hasn't done such a thing, but Cao Chun's position is too firm, and Li Shushi can't achieve his goal without forcing it. And those who force something have no position to speak of.
Alas, it's all Su Xiaololi's fault...... Although I really want to say this, but after all, it's my own Lori, and I can't say anything.
It's as if because of the original glimpse, Cao Xing's unforgettable memory of that beautiful figure, so that now he has become a "big difficulty", and he has a posture of "no matter how purple and red, I hang a dead tree alone".
Anyway, shouldn't this guy already know who the owner of the back he saw was at the beginning? Why don't you change your mind...... Could it be that that guy has already dedicated his soul to Lord Lucifer, who has crossed the line by hand?!
Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
"General, no abnormal movement has been found within thirty miles ahead, do our troops choose to camp in the front?"
Just when Li Shushi's mind kept flashing some terrible pictures of extremely heavy tastes but seemingly some pure love. A young voice rang in his ears. When I looked up, it was a young and handsome young general.
The little general has red lips and white teeth, and slender ape arms, which is somewhat similar to Cao Chun. However, Cao Chun has often been in and out of the northern grasslands in recent years. The complexion is darker. And it's taller. Because of this, this little general looks a little more elegant than Confucianism in addition to his heroic spirit. There is a bit of Zhang Junyi's demeanor.
Wearing chain mail, stepping on flying cloud boots, there is a bright heart guard on his chest, and a moon-white cloak on his back, but I don't know if it is a personal hobby or because Cao Cao's army is wearing linen and filial piety.
Wearing leather gloves on his hands, carrying a bunch of iron wrenches on his left and right hands, although he doesn't know how much the specific amount of riding bow on his back will be, but according to the experience given by Lu Bu, it should probably be up and down three stones, that is to say, it should be a strong bow. Looking at the rigorous appearance of the little general, I think he should have quite confidence in his own skills, so this three-stone strong bow should not be used for decoration, maybe he has indeed put a lot of effort into this area, and he has absolute confidence.
"General, this is our Cao family's 'Thousand Miles Horse', and he is the most promising among the little guys of the next generation."
It turned out that the little general in front of him was Cao Xiu Cao Wenlie, who was called the second governor of the East and West with Cao Zhen, another general of the Cao clan in the second generation of Cao, although his face was good, but unfortunately it was a big cup that could definitely make the slings very relieved.
Well, it's a bit biased to say this, but Cao Xiu was deceived by Zhou Fangmeng and defeated Shiting, and he is indeed a little mediocre, and I don't know if it's really because of his meritorious service or because he is cold and unbalanced when he sees the excitement in the west?
"Speaking of which, you are the best at getting along with people, and today is just in time, I would like you to tell me what kind of journey this child can achieve in the future. By the way, I also brought a little guy with me this time, and you can help show it to you. If they can become a jade, I can also train them boldly, and if they can't become a qualified general, at least I can let them read more, or at least be a clerk, which is better than becoming an idle gentleman. ”
"Zixiao is also reading a lot of people now, can't you believe this kind of thing, or do you actually have another purpose, and you plan to recommend this little guy to me to make up for the loss caused to me by your departure."
"If you don't think he's a good worker, it's not a bad idea to send it to you for exercise."
"In that case, then I must say, 'This guy is a waste of wood, there is no hope for the future, give it to me quickly', so that it is worthy of Zixiao's kindness and hard work. Thank you~"
"It turns out that you are looking forward to this little guy so much, it seems that I should let Meng De care more about him when I go back."
In the face of Li Shushi's ridicule, Cao Ren didn't seem to have much effort to avoid it, and also took advantage of the situation to pull another young man who looked a little older than Cao Xiu to his side, and the expression on his face seemed to be quite proud.
Compared to Cao Xiulai, this young man who had just been pulled over by Cao Ren looked more like a military general.
In terms of appearance, it seems to be quite similar to Xiahou Dun, but compared to the natural Xiahou Yuanrang, this old man seems to be more like a military general - a short beard like a leopard's head and steel needles, a face full of horizontal flesh, and hanging triangular eyes, which can be said to be a fierce face.
A one-piece copper armor, an iron helmet on his head, and a moon-white linen cloak on his back, but it was different from Cao Xiu's clean and white. The mantle behind him was already stained with a speck of dust.
The war horse under the crotch can only be said to be average, and it can't be compared with the one under Cao Xiu's crotch at all, although it looks like it should belong to the Cao clan, but its status may not be as good as Cao Hong's nephew Cao Xiu. The only thing that can be seen is the horse lance in his hand, which seems to be classified as a top grade, at least it looks good, perhaps his entire net worth is pressed on this horse lance.
In any case, he is also the leader of a large force, so he naturally knows the power of the horse lance and its high price.
Sure enough, that kind of useful but extremely expensive thing can only be given as a reward to a few excellent generals, and as for ordinary generals, it is indeed very likely that they will go bankrupt if they want to get a shot, and they will definitely not be able to adapt to that length without three or five years of effort.
Therefore, the guy who can afford to play with the horse lance is either a rich man or has a very good relationship with a rich man.
"This is ......"
Although the name of the other party is not yet known. But Li Shushi has already guessed. Asking Cao Ren was just making a final confirmation—of course, the expression on his face at this time was somewhat exciting.
"It's Brother Xuan's nephew, called Xiahou Jie, the word Weiguo. I think it seems that he has more talent than Wen Lielai. ”
"Oh? How so? "Although I already have some calculations in my heart. But Li Shushi still asked with interest.
"Because Wen Lie likes to read. Even if you can't become a general, you can still shepherd a state and a county. It's like my younger brother who doesn't make a device and likes to make trouble (Cao Chun glared angrily). Weiguo is different, I heard that I like to dance and play with swords since I was a child, but I accidentally like to read. It can be said that in addition to being a general, I am afraid that I can only be a county lieutenant in the county. ”
I have to say that since Li Shushi came to this world, the name "Xiahou Jie" has been recited by him, not only because this guy belongs to the kind of person who died very wrongly, but more importantly, Xiahou Jie's force potential of up to 92 can be ranked in the top 20 of the force potential of this era that Li Shushi knows, although the commander potential is not as prominent as the force potential, but it is also enviable eyes red, although the other three attribute potentials can only be described in general, But none of them can be compared to a civilian like Li Shushi, who has an initial full potential of 30.
But such a guy was hung up by the third master with a roar by the longboard bridge, it was really a tyrannical thing!
However, although there are all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, and all kinds of curses and sarcasm, when the real Xiahou Jie stood in front of Li Shushi, he found that he did not have the slightest desire to tease or ridicule the other party.
There's no way, who called the child in front of him Although he looks very vicious, he seems to be quite honest in his behavior.
Don't doubt that there is no such strange existence, at least Li Shushi knows that the two King Kongs around him, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, usually look like this when facing him. Although he is very strict when facing his subordinates, he will never beat and scold the soldiers at will like a certain third master who sells meat, and even if he really punishes the other party, he will make the other party convinced after reasoning with the facts.
It is precisely because of seeing the shadow of the two outstanding employees of the year who get along day and night from Xiahoujie's body, Li Shushi feels that he should not laugh at each other, but should pull each other, at least in this era, there are not many people like Xiahoujie, and they can save one by one. There are more people like this, and it's not a bad thing for the world to look at it.
Wen Lie seems to be cautious but not lacking in insight, which is necessary to be a good commander, and if he can persevere without being swayed by various temptations, he will one day become a pillar-like figure.
Weiguo is actually better than Wen Lie in terms of qualifications, although such qualifications are not as amazing as Yuan Rang, but they are only different from Miaocai. But although Wei Guo likes to dance and play with swords, his personality seems to be a little lacking, and he doesn't seem to be calm enough. It seems to be bold, but he is always hesitant in the face of a real strongman. For example, when he was swept by Bo Ren with his eyes just now, if he was a courageous person, even if he didn't stare back, he would still show the spirit of fighting hard, instead of dodging his eyes. Zixiao is also a person who has experienced the test of life and death on the battlefield, and knows how important momentum is to a general. ”
"Wen Lie, Wei Guo, you both have heard Li Zhoumu's evaluation of you. Although Wen Yeol's evaluation is high, if he is complacent because of this. Then danger will befall you. Weiguo, you have also heard that Li Zhoumu has a high evaluation of your potential, which proves that you have further qualifications, so you must have enough self-confidence and carefully exercise your courage and energy. You know it? ”
"Yes!" ×2。
Although Li Shushi gave the two little guys different evaluations, obviously more optimistic about Cao Xiu and somewhat belittled Xia Houjie, but with Cao Ren's words, Xia Houjie not only did not look angry but looked very excited.
Could it be that this guy is actually a magical existence like Guo Jing, and he actually has a good talent for martial arts, but if there is no suitable martial arts for him, he will look very stupid. As a result, the body that was hit by various brick beasts was incomplete, and he lost his self-confidence?
Sure enough, it's not easy for an honest child to survive until now......
Unconsciously. The sun had begun to set to the west, and not far away, a somewhat dilapidated city could already be seen, although the text on the gate tower was a little blurred because of the distance. But the content is already known.
"Bo Ren. It is said that the hometown is timid. Now that you see your hometown close at hand, how do you feel now? ”
"Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of the lord's jokes, Wei really doesn't feel too much now. The subordinate parents died early. I was not able to restrain and educate me more, so that I was young and needed to support myself as my lord did at the beginning. However, Wei is not as lucky as the lord, he didn't meet a famous teacher like Mr. Tong, he just relied on his own strength, and he said that he was a ranger in the rivers and lakes.
It wasn't until I met Yuan Gong later and had a few conversations with him that I felt that there were many mistakes in my behavior at the beginning, and how much trouble those self-righteous actions caused to the neighbors, but after all, I was still young and frivolous, and I couldn't pull my face to the neighbors to make amends. ”
"Then isn't it just right today, Bo Ren's behavior over the years will not be ashamed, so wouldn't you be able to return to your hometown now and tell everyone what you have done all these years. Then open a few tables of flowing water seats, and give Xiang Zi a young and frivolous companion. Or is my brave general on the battlefield actually a face-loving coward? ”
Yes, Li Shushi's troops have already reached Jiwu County at the southeast end of Chenliu County, and it is only a day's journey from Yuan Shukong's Chen State and Liang State in Yuzhou, not to mention that Li Shushi brought over all the cavalry troops, plus Li Shushi and the extremely powerful Claw Huang, this distance can be reached in less than half a day.
Although most of Cao Ren's subordinates were infantrymen, after all, he had lived and fought in the Bingzhou army for many years, and the soldiers he trained were very good at long-distance running, although they could not reach the level of three days, five hundred and six days, and one thousand, but if they were well prepared, three days, three hundred and six days, and six hundred would be no problem at all.
It's a pity that Yanzhou has a lot of flat land, and there is no poor mountain and remote land for Cao Ren to practice mountain running, otherwise the effect will be better.
The army did not choose to enter the county seat of Jiwu, but chose to camp by a small river about fifteen miles southwest of Jiwu from the county seat.
How do you get the soldiers to pass this free time?
Li Shushi didn't know what other places would do, but for the Bingzhou Army, plus Cao Ren from the Bingzhou Army, this was not a matter at all - almost as soon as the order was issued, the four major fields had been leveled, and the question of which team would play was already being discussed.
Looking at the surging appearance of the crowd, you can guess that after a boring day of marching, you can get a rare opportunity to relax, which is not too beautiful, except for the unlucky ones who are very unlucky to be drawn to patrol and go out to explore, no one wants to miss this opportunity.
And Li Shushi almost ordered Xu Chu to tie up Dian Wei, who was still a little twisted, and load the car and pull him into Jiwu County.
Think about the appearance of Dian Wei who was played badly in his mind, and he was also drunk.
After sending Dian Wei to Jiwu and talking to the squires there for a while, Li Shushi chose to leave. After all, the center of this time is not him, but Dian Wei, who has been smiling all the time.
Although I don't know how much of it is true and how much it is false, at least on the surface, it seems that Dian Wei is obviously better than his unborn junior Zhou Chutong shoes, at least when they saw him, those neighbors did not show a timid look at the first time, but looked at the return of this distant wanderer with a relieved face.
What surprised Li Shushi even more was that there were still a few women who seemed to be married and even had children who could make soy sauce and were extremely enthusiastic about Dian Wei Biao, while their husbands were obviously close to him, but they were smiling and watching from the side, as if they were not worried about the super friendship between Dian Wei and his wife.
Although Li Shushi felt that Dian Wei looked at Zhen Jiang every day, he should not be interested in the thick branches and leaves in these mountains and wilderness, but those men should not know about it, why can they still be so determined?
It's not that there's something greasy in it.
All in all, Dian Wei's homecoming journey was a success, a victory, and a sense of unity...... (1998 words omitted below), and even the appearance of Dian Wei made the prestige of the Bingzhou Army led by Li Shushi in Jiwu County seem to have soared directly from indifference to respect.
The wine and food at the flowing water banquet after that only further consolidated this feeling.
Maybe Lao Dian is not as unpopular as he imagined, or maybe what he did after realizing his problem is no longer as frivolous as he used to be, and he has also made a lot of contributions to the hometown of his hometown. It's just that he himself was entangled in some things back then, so he couldn't see the truth clearly.
Therefore, Li Shushi left Dian Wei, who was moved to tears repeatedly, in his own home, and returned to the station.
After all, the story of Jiwu County is just a small episode, and Li Shushi will not forget what his main goal is. (To be continued......)
