Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

"Asheng—Asheng——" At [-] o'clock in the morning, Xu County witnessed their lord howling like a child, rushing into the city from Zhuque Gate without poise, and rushing along Xuegong Road to the Cao Mansion .

As Cao Cao tightened the reins, Jueying, known as a thousand-mile horse, fell to the ground with a bang, and Cao Cao fell to the ground together.But he ignored it and just got up and rushed inside.

There were already many visiting people, all of whom were wearing official uniforms, and when they saw Cao Cao coming in, they stepped aside and saluted.

"A Sheng, where is A Sheng?" Cao Cao grabbed a maid and asked in a hoarse voice.His eyes were bloodshot, and he was so frightened that the little maid could not speak a word.

In the end, it was Xun You who put his hand on Cao Cao's arm, preventing him from further putting pressure on the little maid. "Zhonghua is listening to Tao Pavilion, Madam Ding is taking care of it herself."

When Cao Cao heard this, he threw him away, turned around and ran to the right.The same scene continued to play out, but in Cao Cao's eyes, it was just blurred faces moving away. It was not until he ran into the room and saw the familiar face lying on the couch that his perception finally landed.

"A-Sheng--A-Sheng--" He suddenly stopped shouting, and even his footsteps were lightened.

The interior is bright and clean, with sunlight hitting the polished wooden floors, with reflections in places.Pear soup was cooking on the stove, and the gurgling sound reminded Cao Cao of how long, long ago, when his grandfather was still there, he cooked pear soup like this.Ah Sheng liked to eat pears since he was a child.

He sniffed, carefully sat down on the side of the couch, and grabbed his sister's hand.

Great, hands are warm.Look carefully, her chest is still rising and falling slightly.

Mrs. Ding did not know when she had come to the side, she was holding a copper basin of ice water, her expression was soft and sad.Madam Ding hasn't had such a weak expression for many years.The husband and wife looked at each other and exchanged countless messages.

Cao Cao put down his sister's hand, tucked in the quilt for her, then got up, and patted his wife on the shoulder.

Madam Ding nodded, and continued with the task at hand: changing a cold towel for A Sheng's forehead.

On the other side, Cao Cao has already walked out of the door of Tingtao Pavilion.There is a hot spring in the yard, and the mist of water vapor rises.There are few springs in Xu County. When this spring was dug out, Tingtao Pavilion was built. On the black stone wall surrounding the spring, there are inscriptions of the Book of Songs and Songs of Chu.

"I see the sea from the spring, and use the sea as the spring. The heaven and the earth stand in the garden, but the thousand-year-old poems are the walls. 【Note 1】"

The words are still in my ears.Ah Sheng has never written a poem in his life, but when he becomes a literary artist, his passion is the same as that of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, but the smile disappeared immediately.He looked into the garden.A man was sitting under the osmanthus tree by the spring, and he stood up slowly at this time, and made a bow to Cao Cao.

It was Guo Jia.

Cao Cao stepped forward and walked along the path paved with large pebbles. When he passed by Guo Jia, he asked in a low voice:

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Guo Jia followed up obediently: "I was hit in the chest. Zhonghua Gongfu had a great life (external power), and he didn't hurt any organs, so he managed to save his life. He was able to get up before, but unfortunately he suddenly had a high fever the day before yesterday and kept Sleepy until now."

"She was congenitally deficient, and it took decades of careful recuperation to be like ordinary people. Occasionally, she can bear the wind and sleep, but when she encounters a life-threatening injury, she will naturally reveal her true colors." Cao Cao showed a bitter expression.

Guo Jia bowed his head to accompany him in silence, and walked around the hot spring pool again and again.

"Why did Ah Sheng suddenly appear in Cheng County? Cheng County is more than four hundred miles away from Pingyuan County." Cao Cao asked suddenly.

"The arrest warrants for Liu Bei and his party are everywhere. Mr. Zhonghua has always praised Liu Bei's talent, and he wanted to emulate Xiao He's story of chasing Han Xin [Note 2], so he went to Taishan County alone to look for it." It seemed that he had prepared it long ago. Similarly, Guo Jia was extremely fluent when speaking this passage, without even stuttering.

Cao Cao stared at him suspiciously.

One second, two seconds.

"Where did Liu Bei and his party go?"

Guo Jia replied respectfully: "Fleeing to the southeast, Taishan County has sent letters to the southern princes Tian Kai, Tao Qian, Liu Yao, etc., asking for assistance in hunting down Liu Bei and his party. Especially Tao Qian who is adjacent to Taishan County , I heard that in the joint letter signed by the county magistrates of Taishan County, they don’t care about the food that Tao Qian stole, but if Tao Qian harbors Liu Bei, Cao Xue’s disciples will never end with him.”

Cao Cao continued to stare at his family's young military adviser.

One second, two seconds.

Guo Jia was unmoved.He has thought about the joke, and he will not change his mind when the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes.

"Fengxiao——" Cao Cao was only halfway through speaking when he heard commotion in the direction of the room.

"Wake up, wake up, Duke Zhonghua is awake."

"Water, pass on the water."

"Order the kitchen to bring up the hot rice porridge."

……

Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other, and hurriedly strode towards the door. Before they had gone a few steps, they bumped into a little medical girl head-on.

"Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao, you came just in time. Mr. Zhonghua wants to see you."

"Then go quickly." Cao Cao's footsteps became faster, like the wind.

The man was still lying on the bed, his pale face was as pale as the finest cooked paper, and the underclothes made of fine linen appeared extremely rough in color.Compared with what Cao Cao saw just now, her head was slightly turned at an angle, revealing more black hair.And her eyes have already been opened, and the beautiful almond eyes that are somewhat misty are slightly watery.

Cao Cao's heart was as soft as steamed cakes, and he knelt down to see his sister. "Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng." Cao Cao wiped away tears, "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up. Take care of your wounds and don't think about anything. Be obedient, don't worry about anything, there is a brother outside."

"A...brother..." The woman on the bed stretched out her right hand, which made her look extremely fragile.

Cao Cao quickly held her hand: "I'm here, I'm here."

"A...brother..." She seemed to have a strong desire to speak, but her voice was so soft that Cao Cao couldn't hear her clearly even though she almost pressed her ear to it.

Madam Ding stood up and waved away the servants in the room.Then he walked to the door and guarded it.

Ah Sheng pulled Cao Cao's sleeves so tightly that they almost twisted into a ball. "Brother... Liu Bei... is dead..."

Cao Cao's eyes widened for a moment: "What did you say?"

The four eyes are facing each other, and they are also darker than ordinary people.

"Guan... Guan Yu... Zhang Fei... also... no one to die." After saying this, Ah Sheng let go of Cao Cao's sleeves, and dropped his arms powerlessly on the couch.

"Ah Sheng, you—"

What Cao Cao answered was a series of short breaths.Perhaps because of the force he had just spoken, an abnormal red color appeared on Ah Sheng's pale face.Her eyelids were fighting, but they just wouldn't close.

It took Cao Cao about two seconds to accept the news, and then he put his generous palms on A Sheng's eyelids: "Go to sleep. I will take care of the rest."

The eyelashes under the palm stopped fluttering, and the sound of breathing gradually returned to normal.

Cao Cao sat by the couch for a while longer, and then went out to call the doctors and maidservants into the house.

Guo Jia was still standing in the courtyard, but instead of saluting with his hands alternated, I stood still despite the flow of people coming and going.

"Bong Xiao." Cao Cao walked up to Guo Jia, "Decree that Liu Bei and his 15 people are wanted in every prefecture and county. They want to see people alive and dead."

Guo Jia's eyes lit up, my lord's conspiracy channel and I were synchronized. "My lord, it's not too late."

Cao Cao nodded: "Order the three armies to send troops to Xuzhou immediately, and ask Tao Qian to hand over Liu Bei."

The lord was about to kill someone, Guo Jia hurriedly passed the knife: "The place where Liu Bei wounded Duke Zhonghua was less than fifty miles away from where Tao Qian was stationed when he attacked Taishan County. Who would believe that Liu Bei didn't escape to Tao Qian's camp? And Liu Bei was originally Tao Qian’s subordinate, Liu Bei communicated with the Xuzhou Mi family as many as fourteen times before defecting, which has been confirmed by the Ministry of Spy.”

The two mature foxes looked at each other.

Very good, Xuzhou is miserable.

At the end of October of that year, Cao's army crossed the border between Yan and Xu in Taishan County and surrounded Linyi in Langya County.

When the news reached Tancheng, Tao Qian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.He was over 60 years old, if it wasn't for the legendary God Seed, he wouldn't have been too old to rob Taishan County.I thought that with such a big hatred as Yuan Shao at the front, I should lean back when I was making small troubles, but I didn't expect a shit basin from the sky to pin him on his head.

To make matters worse, he really got along with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei claimed to have a map of Yanzhou and asked Tao Qian to take it in.Tao Qian couldn't stand the Mi family's lobbying, so he agreed.Xuzhou high-level officials know everything they should know about this matter, and now everyone is blocking the door and begging him to hand over Liu Bei.

But Liu Bei didn't come in the end!

Can he, Tao Qian, become a big living person?

"I've never seen Liu Bei! I haven't-- seen--cough, cough, cough." Tao Qian yelled in the room. The old man's throat was hoarse, and he accidentally choked on his saliva and coughed. He sounded very embarrassed .

"Then where else can Liu Bei go?" Xuzhou's generals expressed their disbelief, "My lord, at this time, do you really want to offend Cao Cao for a villain who defected?"

"Bah, ahem, are you afraid of offending Cao Cao? When you robbed Taishan County, everyone rushed forward?" Tao Qian sat on the ground clutching his chest, his beard trembling with anger.

"My lord, don't be angry with us. Robbing Taishan County can at least get food, what good is hiding Liu Bei? And this is not just a matter of offending Cao Cao. There are not a few children who learn Cao Xue in Xuzhou, and they are all gathered now. When I arrived in Tancheng, I asked you to give me an explanation."

Tao Qian almost didn't come up in one breath. "Things who are disobedient and criminals, do you know what is called monarch, minister and minister, father and son?"

"Taozhou Mu," a young man's voice came from outside, "Emperor Zhonghua is the respected teacher, a humble gentleman, educated and rich, and well-known all over the country. Such a highly respected person, just because of dissuading Liu Bei from fleeing, caused a bloody disaster. He is still alive and dead." I don’t know, you are also a scholar, didn’t you feel the slightest touch when you heard about it?”

"I--"

Before Tao Qian could say the second word, more young voices sounded outside the door:

"The two armies are fighting, and they don't kill each other!"

"If Cao Jun claims that it was Duke Tao who ordered Liu Bei to injure Duke Zhonghua, how will you explain to the world?"

"Tao Gong, this matter has spread to all counties in Xuzhou. The people are confused and don't know how to deal with it. Please make a decision early."

……

Tao Qian was going crazy: "Lao, son, really, no, see, pass, Liu, Bei!"

Note 1: Adapted from the song "Tian Di Jian".

Note 2: When Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Han Xin defected to Liu Bang but could not be reused.So on a dark and stormy night, Han Xin ran away.At that time, Xiao He, Liu Bang's military adviser, admired Han Xin very much. When he heard that Han Xin had escaped, he went to chase him alone.Since then, Xiao He recommended Han Xin to Liu Bang many times, saying that he is a talent who can help Liu Bang dominate the world.So Liu Bang worshiped Han Xin as a general.
