Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 451 Tripod Vessel
It was not until he returned to Hefei City that Wang Zhengfang let out a long breath when he saw the city gates shutting shut.

In fact, this battle not only accomplished the established strategic goal, directly burned Sun Ce’s army camp outside the city, but also discovered the real strength of the enemy, which indirectly confirmed that Wang Zheng’s previous judgment was correct. Sun Ce did deliberately take advantage of the importance of Hefei. Making a plan to attack the west, at this time its main force may have already attacked the city in Lujiang.

But at this time, Wang Zheng's heart did not have the joy after victory in the past. Apart from being shocked, there was also indescribable exhaustion.

On the one hand, he really did not expect that Sun Ce's soldiers were so brave, and there were several brave soldiers in the barracks, which made it rare for him to win such a small-scale raid.

On the other hand, it was the retreat of the friendly army at a critical moment, which almost caused a catastrophe. This made Wang Zheng still feel scared when he thought about it now.

If the decision had been made a little later and the friendly army had directly dispersed the army, or even if it had brought about a chain reaction and caused the morale of the heavenly army to plummet, then the result...would have been an extremely dangerous defeat.

The Skeleton King's army is really unreliable. While complaining secretly, Wang Zheng jumped off his horse and immediately ordered: "Quickly arrange a medical officer to treat the wounded."

"By the way, Zhou Xiancheng was also injured. It seems that the injury is not serious. Hurry up and invite a famous doctor in the city to come and treat him."

Hearing this, there was an uproar among the defenders, and immediately a group of people hurriedly brought a door panel and lifted Zhou Yu up, and then a group of people rushed into the city with shouts and hugs.

Um. Actually, I was injured too.

Wang Zheng opened his mouth, finally shook his head, looked around, a dozen medical officers were so busy running back and forth, there were so many wounded soldiers this time, and some minor injuries had to wait, he smiled wryly, Speaking of which, it's a minor injury for me.
Then wait too.

I found a pergola at random and just sat down, closed my eyes and rested for a while, the guards outside the shed suddenly came to report: "General, a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest heard that you were injured, and asked to see you. show you."

Taoist priest?Wang Zheng was taken aback, and asked, "Did you ask about the origin of the name?"

"I asked, the name of the person here is Zhou Shang."

"Zhou Shang?"

Wang Zheng recalled it in his mind. He didn't seem to have seen this name in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He was exhausted at this moment. Since he was an unknown person, he didn't have the mood and energy to deal with it. When he saw the wound, he felt a dull pain. After hesitating for a while, he changed his mind and said, "Then invite him in."

"Here!"

Not long after, a middle-aged man walked up and down. Wang Zheng looked up and saw that this man was about forty to fifty years old, wearing a clean and elegant robe, with black and black hair. With a somewhat fairy-like appearance, his heart suddenly moved.

This guy looks good.

The so-called do as the Romans do, travel so far, in addition to the famous people in memory, Wang Zheng is also used to judging people by their appearance, seeing Zhou Shang's good appearance, he immediately paid more attention to it, cupped his hands and said: "This elder is polite."

"I will pay my respects to Wang Zhoumu next week." Zhou Shang returned the salute while raising his eyes, and was startled when he saw Wang Zheng's face clearly.

Why is Wang Zheng's appearance so ordinary? To put it bluntly, he doesn't have the appearance of a nobleman that should be seen in physiognomy.

Could it be that the purple energy that Yu'er got that day came from someone else, could it be another chance?

Zhou Shang was suspicious of Dasheng, although he hadn't used the qi-watching technique yet, Wang Zheng's face had already disappointed him, but after thinking about it, he secretly shouted that something was wrong.

Judging from his appearance, this Wang Zheng was destined to be the head of Guizhou, not to mention Xu Zhoumu, who is a petty official, let alone such a respectable position!

"When we were chatting back then, Brother Zuo Dao once said that in the past, when the great ancestor Qianlong was not released, he was just an ordinary fate. Pay attention to it, so as not to be envied by ghosts and gods when the tripod is not completed, and die halfway."

"Could it be that the king's government is also so unacceptable?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Shang couldn't hold back anymore, he squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Zheng, but his expression changed drastically after a while!
But Zhou Shang finally saw the real thing, and saw the clouds around Wang Zheng's body continuously gushing out, like boiling water, or like a spring opening, but on the top there was white air boiling in the shape of banners.There is a purple cloud pillar running through the middle, and purple air runs through it.

The building has two meanings. One refers to the military flag used by the generals as a command in the ancient army.

As far as Zhou Shang knows, in numerology, it also represents the sun pillar Renchen. Rizhichen belongs to the dragon in the twelve zodiac signs, and Renzuochen, so it is called Renqi Longbei!

"This is the appearance of the dragon's vigorous energy. It must be rich and prosperous for a long time."

"Not only has the Dragon Qi been formed, but it has also begun to be cast into a tripod vessel. It may take three years at the shortest time, or five years later. Once the tripod is completely stable, it will be in every direction. Even if you can't aspire to the Central Plains, at least you will be a little emperor." pattern!"

The sages have said that the emperor who observes the way, the king who understands virtue, and the emperors are divided into big and small.

Even though he had guessed earlier, Zhou Shang never expected that Wang Zheng's facial features and aura were completely different, completely forming two extremes.

However, in the eyes of Wang Zheng, he felt that Zhou Shang was behaving strangely. He came to see him and said he was to heal his wounds, but after he called out to see Zhou Mu, he was either surprised or stared blankly, without saying a word, and waited for a long time Finally couldn't bear it anymore, and tentatively said: "Elder? Elder?"

After calling several times, Zhou Shang finally woke up, and hurriedly said: "Excuse me, Zhou Mu, I'm being rude."

Looking at Wang Zheng's eyes full of doubts, but he didn't know how to explain it, his eyes just happened to glance at Wang Zheng's injured right leg, he exclaimed quickly, dragged a bench from one side and said, "Sit down, Zhou Mu, this injury is not serious. If it is not treated in time, it may leave future troubles.”

After speaking, he took out another pair of scissors to cut off the cloth strip that Wang Zheng had wrapped the wound, looked at it and said, "Wang Zhoumu, this wound is very big, it needs to be sewn up, it may hurt a little."

Wang Zheng waved his hand casually, indicating that it was all right, Zhou Shang took out a bamboo tube from his arms, took out a silver needle with a thin black thread from it, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Please go and get some clean water .”

When the soldiers brought clean water, Zhou Shang first washed Wang Zheng's wound with water, and then poured wine on the wound. Wang Zheng just felt a sudden pain in the wound, but Zhou Shang was already suturing Wang Zheng's wound. The wire routing is extremely proficient, as if she is used to being a female celebrity.After sewing, he cut off the end of the thread, and took another loop of gauze to be bound up by Wang Zheng.

Seeing Zhou Shang's proficient treatment, Wang Zheng's inner doubts were greatly reduced. Seeing that many soldiers were still groaning, he said, "Elder, you can bandage the wound yourself. Now the wounded in the army Quite a few, can the elders show others?"

Even though he said this, Zhou Shang seemed not to have heard Wang Zheng's words, he was still wrapped in circles, and whispered at the same time: "Wang Zhoumu, with your current status, it is really unnecessary to charge forward in person, since ancient times Emperors and generals should plan their strategies."

Wang Zheng had heard similar words for countless times, he smiled and asked as if he didn't hear clearly: "What did the elder just say?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shang raised his head and looked at Wang Zheng, seeing his expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, he knew it in his heart, but he didn't speak again, just wrapped it up for Wang Zheng.

After wrapping it up, Wang Zheng stretched his legs. Not only did the pain relieve a lot, but his right leg became more flexible. He couldn't help but gave Zhou Shang a thumbs up and praised: "The elder is really good at medicine."

As if paying homage, Zhou Shang acted as if he didn't hear the flattery, he just stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Since Zhou Mu's injury has been treated, I will take my leave."

He turned around and didn't take a few steps, as if he suddenly thought of something, he paused, then turned his head and said:

"In the next year, I will be old and weak, and there are so many wounded that I can't take care of them all. However, casualties are inevitable in the conquest of the battlefield. There is a volume of scriptures here, which records a lot of medical skills. If there are not enough medical officers in the state herdsman army, you can choose someone else." Give it."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng was both surprised and delighted, took the bamboo slip thrown by Zhou Shang with both hands, looked at it, but saw several ancient seals engraved on the cover, barely recognized it for a long time before he recognized it as "Tong Jian of Ti Dao Tong Jian".

The name doesn't seem like a medical book.
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng quickly raised his head, and just wanted to ask Zhou Shang to stay so that he could ask for advice later, but saw Zhou Shang's figure had disappeared.

On the second day after the burning of the camp, Wang Zheng was recuperating in the elegant room, but he saw Wang Xiong trotting in excitedly, as if there was some happy event, Wang Zheng couldn't help asking, "What happened, so happy?"

"Report to General." Wang Xiong said: "I just received two pieces of good news. First, Zhou Xiancheng has woken up."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng was certain that it would be a pity if a character like Zhou Yu was involved in such a small battle. After pondering for a while, he said, "Then what is the second thing?"

"According to reports from sentry cavalry, the Hefei army outside the city has withdrawn!"

"Oh?" Wang Zhen's eyes lit up immediately, and he jumped up: "Have you found out?"

"Reporting to Zhou Mu, the news came back from the defenders in Hefei at first, saying that Sun Ce's army withdrew yesterday afternoon," Wang Xiong said: "The general is afraid that they will not check carefully, so he immediately took the news with him after receiving the news." A few cavalrymen personally searched the area within a radius of fifty li to make sure it was correct."

It seems that even he was worried about Yuan Shu's subordinates in the last battle against the camp.

Wang Zheng smiled when he heard the words, thought for a moment and said, "Now that the siege of Hefei has been lifted, we can also set off."

"Exactly." Wang Xiong nodded when he heard the words: "After all, General Huang is alone, and he should have gone to Linhu sooner. General, when are we going to leave?"

"Let the brothers recuperate for another two days, and set off the day after tomorrow." Wang Zheng said, "In addition, you should prepare some presents, and then have someone go to the Zhou Mansion to hand over the name badge, and said that I would like to visit Brother Gongjin this afternoon."

"Here!"

Before reaching the gate of the Zhou Mansion, Wang Zheng's eyesight was extraordinary, and he saw a middle-aged man personally greet him at the gate, and he was very surprised.

Why is this Taoist also in the Zhou residence?

Wait, his surname is also Zhou, does it have something to do with Zhou Yu?
At this time Zhou Shang had already greeted him on his own initiative, with three long beards under his chin, which fluttered slightly as he walked: "The distinguished guest is coming, and the fluffy plants are shining, Zhou Shang pays homage to Wang Zhoumu?"

Wang Zheng rushed forward and quickly helped him up: "The last time I had a hasty farewell, Zhengzheng was looking forward to seeing you again every day, and asked for advice every day. I didn't expect to meet him here today. I am so happy."

"The elder appeared in the Zhou residence, could it be that he also met Zhou Gongjin?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shang laughed: "Zhou Yu is my nephew."

Wang Zheng immediately stood up in awe, Zhou Shang was white, and although Wang Zheng's voice was polite, he didn't mean to return his obeisance. At this time, he didn't dare to take it too seriously, and immediately bowed solemnly: "Although Zheng and Gongjin have known each other for a short time, they hit it off right away. His elders are also my elders, Xuzhou Wangzheng pays a visit to Duke Zhou."

It was Zhou Shang's turn to be astonished this time when he saw such a grand incident.

He naturally understood that Wang Zheng was doing it for Zhou Yu's sake, but Zhou Shang couldn't understand it.

In fact, when he received the famous stab in the morning, Zhou Shang felt very surprised. Zhou Yu's current official position is only a county magistrate, which is far from Wang Zheng's current status. Wang Zheng wants to come to visit in person, which is a bit too important.

This is also the reason why Zhou Shang did not disclose his relationship with Zhou Yu when he was treating Wang Zheng at the city gate last time. He did not deliberately conceal it, but felt that it was completely unnecessary.

If Zhou Shang knew that Wang Zheng rushed back to rescue Zhou Yu when he was about to leave the enemy camp, it would be even more unbelievable.

And Wang Zheng's sudden visit also disrupted Zhou Shang's original plan.

He took the initiative to hurt Wang Zheng that day. He had two purposes. The first was to use the Qi Wang technique to see how Wang Zheng's luck was, and whether it was worthy of Lujiang Zhou's investment and Zhou Yu's investment. .

Second, of course, if Wang Zheng is really the master, then Zhou Shang can be regarded as paying incense money in advance. When Zhou Yu and the Zhou family have completely formed a solid relationship with Wang Zheng in the future, Zhou Shang will find another opportunity to show up , and even achieve an effect of "early origin".

But Zhou Shang didn't expect that Wang Zheng would pay so much attention to Zhou Yu, and he would visit Zhou Yu's door in person just after he woke up. Now that Zhou Yu's injury is still unhealed, he, the patriarch, had to come out to greet the guests in person.
Everyone divided the order of guests and hosts, and went to the main hall.

The front yard of the Zhou Mansion does not occupy a large area.There is a well in the corner and several pagoda trees in the courtyard.

It was June, when the trees were full of pagoda trees in full bloom. Clusters of green leaves were piled up among the leaves, and some fell on the ground. The courtyard was filled with dark fragrance, many bees and butterflies were flying around the trees, and there were a few cicadas singing from time to time. .

Looking around, Wang Zheng praised: "It rains at night and the flowers of pagoda trees fall, and the coolness lies in the north pavilion. Duke Zhou lives here in seclusion. It is indeed a paradise of peach blossoms."

"Dwelling in a humble alley, how dare you have the reputation of a state herd?"

After habitual modesty, Zhou Shang just came back to his senses, and asked in surprise: "Where is the Peach Blossom Spring mentioned by Zhou Mu?" '

Only then did Wang Zheng remember that Tao Yuanming hadn't even been born yet, so he laughed dryly and explained:

"Once upon a time, I read a miscellaneous talk called The Story of Peach Blossom Spring. It was about a fisherman from Qingzhou, the hometown of the government, who once stumbled into a peach blossom grove with delicious grasses and colorful fallen leaves. There lived a sage who lived in seclusion, but it was originally to avoid the pre-Qin period. The descendants of the warlords, the so-called unknown Han, don't care."

"Unexpectedly, Zhou Mu is not only excellent in martial arts, but also has a strong memory of his extensive knowledge."

Hearing that Wang Zheng recited a few lines from the original text, Zhou Shang was amazed by the elegance of his wording, and thought: "What is this "Peach Blossom Spring", even I have never heard of it before. Gao, I heard that he was originally from a grassroots background, but he did not expect to be so eager to learn and emphasize literature, it is really rare."

"In comparison, Sun Ce is nothing more than a fool!"
