Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 501 - Kou Xilai

In the first year of Jian'an, June is still young.

When Wang Zheng was in the midst of a fierce battle with Sun Ce, Yuan Shu in Shouchun at that time was also moody.

Although Xuzhou's army is powerful, it reversed the previous losing streak and lost ground when it first arrived, but Sun Ce's troops were still unstoppable. County, Hefei and other places.

And when Sun Ce ran thousands of miles to defeat Liu Xun and captured Wancheng, Yuan Shu was so shocked that he even had the idea of ​​moving his capital to Runan to avoid his edge.

Even though he was finally dissuaded by counselor Yang Hong, Yuan Shu was still in an extremely bad mood after that, often drunk and unconscious, and often killed the servants and slaves in the palace with trivial matters, even his wives and concubines often After being reprimanded, the Shouchun Palace was in turmoil for a while, and everyone was terrified.

Until the end of the month, the situation finally found a change.

On this day, Yuan Shu came to the room of Mrs. Feng, whom he loves the most. It was rare for him not to drink, and asked his own daughter, "Why didn't you see Xuan'er?"

His two sons and daughters were both born by Mrs. Feng. The son's name is Yuan Yao, and the daughter's name is Yuan Xuan. Together they are Xuanyao, which means brilliance and beauty.

Mrs. Feng ordered the maid to serve tea, while stealing a look at Yuan Shu's expression, she saw the smile on his face, she felt a little settled, so she replied: "Reporting to my husband, Xuan'er feels stuffy in the palace these few days, and it's convenient for me to be a concubine." Let him live in Yaoer's residence for a few days."

"Nonsense, it's time for her to cultivate a virtuous temperament." Yuan Shu frowned immediately when he heard this, and said, "If you continue to be so self-willed, how can you cultivate a woman's virtue, and how will you get married in the future?"

get married?

At this time, Mrs. Feng was about to bring the teacup to Yuan Shu, when she heard this, her hands trembled, almost spilling water.

Xuan'er is only eight years old now, why did she mention things like getting married, isn't it too early in the future?
You must know that although women in this era get married much earlier than later generations, they must be at least 15 years old and later. Because of the difficult life of the people, they must be at least twelve or thirteen years old.

When things go wrong, there must be demons. Mrs. Feng can be favored by Yuan Shu, not only because she is one of the world-famous national beauty, but also because she is the daughter of Shang Shu Feng Fang.

While handing over the teacup, she lowered her eyebrows slightly, suppressed the surprise and dissatisfaction in her eyes, and asked softly: "I know, by the way, husband, can the rebellion of the sun thief be put down?"

Speaking of Yuan Xuan's marriage, Mrs. Feng immediately thought of the two parties at war, Wang Zheng and Sun Ce.

Before Yuan Shu ordered Sun Ce to go to Kaiyang, in order to induce Wang Zheng to send troops to attack Liu Bei, he may have used the matter of in-laws, but at that time he had not formally asked Mrs. Feng for her opinion. After all, Yuan Xuan was too young, so it was impossible Getting married in time, Wang Zheng, Yuan Shu and even Mrs. Feng all knew that it was just a empty promise.

But this time Yuan Shu mentioned it in private, which made Mrs. Feng's heart ringing alarm bells, making it even more difficult to agree and support
Since Yuan Xuan is far below the age of marriage, and Wang Zheng, the yellow scarf bandit, is by no means the ideal son-in-law in her mind.

"The grandson is ambitious and has attracted the support of Jiangdong gentry. Now there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. How can it be so easy to pacify?" Yuan Shu shook his head. At the foot of Liu'an City, I think it is hopeful that we will be able to recover."

"The Xuzhou army has come to reinforce it again?" Mrs. Feng asked, "How many troops are there?"

"There are more than [-], and the main general is Wu Sheng, a general under Wang Zheng's command."

"Since this is the case, it is expected that the thieves will be in chaos soon."

Mrs. Feng was sure when she heard the words, since she and Yuan Shu were husband and wife, they naturally shared honor and shame, and hoped that the rebellion would end as soon as possible.

"Hey, how can it be so easy?"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu, who was bound to be aroused by this gentle method in the past, was unmoved today. He just patted her lightly, then rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly: "1 horses say it's a lot less, but it's not too much if you say more." Many, now that Sun Ce's power has been established, it may not be enough in front of him."

The topic changed, and he said displeasedly: "Wang Zheng has six counties, including a rich country like Beihai, and a powerful army like Mount Tai. There may be more than [-] troops under his command, but he only dispatched less than [-] troops. People and horses are really stingy!"

As he said that, Yuan Shu stared at Mrs. Feng and sighed, "I guess it's because the relationship is not close enough."

Hearing this, Madam Feng raised her eyebrows with her head lowered, and a mocking sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: The implication is that she wants to marry Wang Zheng to get Xuzhou to reinforce the army again?

She said softly: "Since this is the case, Husband should try to continue to make friends with Wang Zhengcai."

"That's what Ben Hou meant too."

Yuan Shu cheered up when he heard the words, clapped his hands and laughed, "Ma'am, Wang Zheng is not yet married. He is now Xuzhou Shepherd, Li Yanghou, and young and weak. In terms of status, he can match our family."

Having said that, Yuan Shu looked Madam Feng in the eye, coughed dryly, and said: "Although Xuan'er is a little young, but there is no shortage of meat soup and soufflé on weekdays, she looks older than her real age, Madam, tell me. "

Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Feng cut her off: "Husband, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Forehead"

Yuan Shu frowned first, then smiled, and was waiting to persuade, but Mrs. Feng said: "Husband, it's not that I don't know the importance and disregard the overall situation, but that Xuan'er is really not a suitable candidate."

"The sages have said, so there is no one who can't get it because of what he likes."

She considered the sentence and said: "Although the concubine lives in the palace, she has also heard about the deeds of Wang Zheng. Regardless of her personality and age, Xuan'er is hard to catch. If she forces her own marriage, it may not be a close relationship. , resented suspicion."

Yuan Shu was taken aback when he heard the words. This sentence is a famous saying of Zhuangzi, so he naturally knew the meaning. It said that it is impossible to win over a person's favor and heart if he doesn't win him over with what he likes and desires.

Can't help but asked in surprise: "Madam, our daughter still can't get into that Zhuzi's eyes, where did you say that?"

"Husband, as far as I know, Wang Zheng's liking for women is quite strange."

"Ordinary young girls are not eye-catching, let alone our Xuan'er, especially since she is spoiled and spoiled, with a savage personality."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Feng's pink face also blushed slightly: "And this aspect is more..."

"Actually, there is a more suitable candidate in the husband's relatives."

"you mean"

Yuan Shu suddenly realized that, speaking of Wang Zheng's current status, not only had he not been married, he had not even taken in some concubines and maidservants, and only one widowed sister-in-law was the leader. Only married women and widows, Yuan Shu has also heard about this.

Of course, not just any widow is fine, at least Huo's beauty is considered stunning by everyone who has seen it.

So what is the king's favor?To sum up, she is a widow with outstanding looks.

Hmm. Yuan Shu rubbed his chin, it seems that this is really the case, and Mrs. Feng said that there are such candidates in his relatives, it is indeed true.

Of course my sister-in-law is a relative!
You can try, he thought, if he had a choice, Yuan Shu didn't want his daughter to marry too early.

After all, he is only such a daughter.

This meant that he could only choose an in-law through her.

While thinking about it, the guards from outside came to report, and Yang Hong and another senior Fu Linchen Kui Ye came hand in hand, and seemed to have something to see.

"It's so late, Junshi Yang came to see your husband, and he was with Fu Guoxiang. Could it be that the situation in Lujiang has changed?" Mrs. Feng asked with a look of confusion.

Seeing her caring so much about state affairs, Yuan Shu was deeply pleased and even more moved. Caring about state affairs is not caring about himself, so he quickly comforted him and said: "There may be changes for the better, madam, don't worry, let's rest first, and don't have to wait to be a husband. "

Immediately got up to go out, and walked away.

When she left, Mrs. Feng was tossing and turning, because the young girl's life-long event had never slept, she saw that the night had fallen for a long time, the moon was rising and the moon was shining, and she was drowsy, half asleep, and half awake, but the sound of strong footsteps sounded outside Tangtang again. .

Mrs. Feng looked up, but she saw Yuan Shu had returned, and she had a happy smile on her face, and she couldn't help asking: "Husband, what's the matter?"

"The big thing is settled!"

Yuan Shu exclaimed excitedly: "Ma'am, Cheng Delai's news ahead, Lu'an and Hefei have been conquered, and Xuzhou's army and horses have been pushed outside Shu County, forming a siege to Sun's army and horses!"

Mrs. Feng was also quite happy when she heard the good news, but after thinking about it, she became suspicious again. If it was just a good news, Yang Hong's temperament would not be so impatient to report it, so she asked: "Aside from this matter, what about Junshi Yang and the others?" What else is there to report?"

"Madam is really smart."

Yuan Shu glanced at her appreciatively and said, "Guo Jia, under Wang Zheng's command, has sent envoys to Chengde, and wants the defenders in the city to detour to the rear, take back the two cities of Xiang'an and Linhu, and cut off Sun Ce's retreat!"

"What does your husband mean?"

Yuan Shu sneered, his eyes flickered with a frightening murderous intent, and said solemnly: "According to Guo Jia's intention, all Chengde soldiers and horses are to be mobilized. This matter is of course very risky, but."

He looked at Mrs. Feng, and said word by word: "If you can put Sun Ce, a traitor, to death, what is a little risk?"

Ever since Sun Ce raised his army, Yuan Shu had been in fear all day long, and even made the whole palace and even Shouchun fall into panic and restlessness along with him.

But the hatred and anger hidden under this fear also accumulated deeper and deeper day by day.

If we say how deeply it was covered up before, then one day, once it erupts, it will be even more terrifying!
And this became the last piece of the puzzle that completely surrounded Sun Ce's vitality.

In mid-July of the first year of Jian'an, Sun Ce died in Xiang'an.

Soon after, Wang Zheng, the hero of the bandits, led an army to Shouchun.

To show grandeur, Yuan Shu brought his wives, concubines, and heirs, as well as all civil and military officials, to a banquet for Wang Zheng at night.

Coming to Shouchun for the second time, I feel very different.

The former Wangzheng had just occupied the land of Langya County, and it was just a fledgling climate. It was not worth mentioning in front of Yuan Shu who was hiding the three states at that time. It was because of Wangzheng's own personal bravery that he could make Yuan Shu look at him differently.

Now it is naturally very different, not to mention the reversal of strength, at least it can stand up to a court of justice.

In addition to the change in status, there was also a big change in mind. At least this time when Wang Zheng came to Shouchun, he was not prepared to return empty-handed again!
According to the original original intention, the main purpose of going south this time is to kill Sun Ce, the future founder of Soochow, in advance. Secondly, he also reaped the benefits of Yuzhou Peiguo. Plot Yangzhou.

But this moment is also, that moment also.

After defeating Sun Ce, most of Lujiang County had actually fallen under the control of the Xuzhou Army. Coupled with Yangzhou and Xuzhou's adjacent geography, and the most crucial point, Yuan Shu's deliberate smearing of the Yangzhou Army's defeat in Xuzhou on the day, made Wang Zheng again Without any psychological burden, how could he turn a blind eye to Yangzhou and refuse to enter?
So after defeating Sun Ce, Wang Zheng immediately set his sights on Yuan Shu and even Yangzhou.

But Yangzhou is certainly good, how to seize it is also a problem.

After all, just after a big battle, when the army and horses are exhausted, it is not the best policy to simply brute force.

What's more, Yuan Shu was not really defenseless after all, if he acted rashly and startled the snake, it could be said to be harmful but not beneficial!
So Wang Zheng thought twice and decided to come to Shouchun first.

Regarding this matter, no matter Guo Jia, Wu Sheng, Huang Zhong and others had warned him, after all, Yuan Shu was not a good man and a faithful woman, even if Wang Zheng went to Shouchun with great meritorious officials and allies, it was not without risk.

Wu Sheng even said that with the current situation, why bother, just move the army northward, and go straight to Jiujiang, what Sun Ce, the defeated general of the Tian army, can do, why is it difficult for them to do it?After he opened the gate of Shouchun City, Wang Zheng went straight into the city and sat down.

Wang Zheng naturally turned a deaf ear to such arguments and did not agree.

Even in later generations, it is necessary to have a famous teacher, let alone a big man with higher moral standards?

The image of him at this time is that he personally led the righteous teacher and came to help his allies to fight against the chaos.

Then in the eyes of the world, wouldn't his image become one of ambition and long-planned wolf?
The identities of the Yellow Turban thieves have not been completely cleared, and if they are stained with a basin of sewage, how will Jiangdong be governed in the future?

How does the human heart belong?

Wang Zheng has his own considerations in this regard.

The most important thing right now is not how to capture Yangzhou and defeat Yuan Shu, but to get a reasonable reason first, even if it is a rote, if you want to cover it up, you must have at least one!
And for this reason, he must come to Shouchun again in person and enter the tiger's den again.

How can you get a tiger without entering the tiger's den?

The plan has been decided.Then he used Huang Zhong to town Liu'an, Guo Jia assisted him; Wu Sheng towned Anfeng, Wei Yan assisted him, Qiao Wan and him arrived in Shouchun in person, and were invited to a banquet that night.

　The beginning of the new volume is the most difficult to write. I have run out of energy today. I owe you a little more for adding more, and I will make up for it later.
　　As soon as I finished typing the title of the volume, I thought of a new one. What do book lovers think?
　　Change it to "Looking at the swallowing thorns, returning to the flag and going to Shu, and occupying half of the country." How about it?
