Vol 10 Chapter 273: Sun Ce begging for revenge for killing his father (Part 2)

Popular recommendation:

Sun Ce asked, "Dare to ask Duke Ming, why is this?"

Xun Zhen said: "If you want to tell me the reason, you also know the reason, it is because I am currently trying to divide Lu Bu. Since the court moved to Xu County, it has successively issued two imperial decrees to Lu Bu. He was named the Marquis of Shunyang, and he was more attractive to him; and after the plan in October, he was appointed as the magistrate of Xinxi County. According to the various information obtained so far, the effect is not bad. Lu Bu had already planned to enter the DPRK to celebrate Zhengdan, but he was only hindered by his subordinate Gao Shun, etc., but this at least proves that this plan of alienation has taken effect."

Xun Zhen didn't tell Sun Ce about the plan to attack Yuan Shu in February or March of next year or after the spring, but Xun Zhen greeted Sun Ce privately and told him about Lu Bu's plan to alienate him. After all, Lu Bu and Sun Ce had a revenge for killing their father. If Sun Ce was not informed in advance, it would be a plot to divide. In case Sun Ce mistakenly thought that Xun Zhen was really disregarding Sun Jian's revenge for Lu Bu's murder, he actually wanted to recruit Lu Bu's words would inevitably cause Sun Ce's strong dissatisfaction, which would outweigh the gains.

Sun Ce knew that Xun Zhen was in the act of alienation, but he did not know the effect of this alienation. Hearing Xun Zhen's words, he couldn't believe it, and said, "Ming Gong, Lv Bu intends to enter the court and participate in it. Next year's Zhengdan Great Ceremony?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "Isn't that true? It was only blocked by Gao Shun and others. But Bo Fu, although Lu Bu's meaning was blocked by Gao Shun and others, it can be seen that the strategy of alienation is quite effective. And there is another thing that I haven't told you yet, that is, I asked Sikong Duke Zhao to send a letter to Lv Bu... In Luoyang and Chang'an, Zhao Gong was quite perfunctory towards Lv Bu, and Lü Bu thought he was with him. In the letter, Duke Zhao suggested that Lv Bu should come to the court and participate in the next year's Zhengdan Dynasty congratulations. He also revealed to Lü Bu that the court intends to worship him as the general of Pingnan. Bofu, I expect this letter from Duke Zhao, after Lü Bu received it, My plan to alienate me, eight or nine times out of ten, will be complete, and Lu Bu and Yuan Shu will inevitably be separated, so when the crusade against Yuan Shu is next year, Lu Bu will not be a worry for the time being.”

This change was beyond Sun Ce's expectations.

As for Xun Zhen's plan to alienate Lv Bu, he originally thought, no matter how unwise people are, they should be able to see that Xun Zhen was using a stratagem to alienate him, but he never imagined that Lu Bu would actually Hit this plan!

It doesn't matter if Lü Bu was caught in this plan, but the consequences would affect Sun Ce, causing Gong Chou to claim that the plan of "talking about Xun Zhen and making Sun Ce go to Lv Bu, thinking that Yangzhou would be a foreshadowing" is not good. achieved.

Sun Ce was caught off guard, and for a while he didn't know how to bring up the matter of "please ask Lu Bu", so he followed Xun Zhen's words and said, "Congratulations to Duke Ming on the success of his plan to divorce! That being the case, Ce dare to ask Duke Ming, if What do you plan to do with this Lu Bu in the future?"

"Didn't I just say it? Wentai's revenge, not only the minister wants to avenge it, but I also want to avenge it! And after Yuan Shu and Guo Si are settled, Jiang Xia will be used as a soldier, and Lu Bu must be captured alive to avenge Wentai's revenge!"

Xun Zhen and Sun Jian are like brothers, one of them is; if they don't take revenge for Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his minions will definitely be estranged from Xun Zhen because of this, the other is; although Lü Bu is a general and talented, but in politics and strategy There is no advantage. To put it bluntly, just like Wang Yun's evaluation of him back then, he is just a "swordsman", or in other words, a martial artist. If he stays, it will not be of much use to Xun Zhen. Thirdly, Xun Zhen must avenge Sun Jian's revenge, and he had already decided that he must kill Lu Bu.

- Having said that, in terms of personal grievances alone, Xun Zhen doesn't actually have a deep hatred for Lu Bu. It doesn't really matter whether he kills him or not, but the situation is such that he must be killed.

The strategy proposed by Gongqiucheng, in the future to plan for Yangzhou, must first take Jiangxia in his hands, not the whole county, at least the northern half of the county that borders Runan, is this whole one? If the strategic plan has not been implemented, is it going to fail?

Jingzhou is no longer desirable, and if Yangzhou can no longer be obtained, how can the deceased father's legacy, the glory he longed for for the Sun family be realized? Sun Cezhi was young, handsome and ambitious, and he couldn't help feeling a sudden emptiness at this moment. Yuxi, who was hidden in the secret room by him, came to his mind without telling him, and Xun Zhen's questioning voice sounded in his ears: "Bo Fu, what are you thinking?"

Sun Ce regained his senses and replied to Xun Zhen, saying, "Duke Ming, though Ce thinks that Duke Ming's alienation plan will be successful, it seems that it is not enough to just alienate Lu Bu's alienation from Yuan Shu."

"Qingyi is saying, my next step is to alienate Yuan Shu again?"

Sun Ce said: "Duke Ming is wise, and the one who separates is also from both sides. In Ce's humble opinion, if you want to make the Gong's plan of alienation achieve the greatest success, you must not only separate Lu Bu from Yuan Shu, but also make Lv Bu already Yuan Shu knows that he is estranged from himself. In this way, before Duke Ming formally confronts Yuan Shu, there may be civil strife on both sides. If so, wouldn’t it be more beneficial for Duke Ming to attack Nanyang?”

Xun Zhen stroked her short mustache and smiled, and said, "Bo Fu, you and I thought of going with you!"

"It turns out that Duke Ming has a countermeasure for this."

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "I have sent people to Nanyang to spread the news, so that Yuan Shu knows that Lv Bu intends to enter the court and participate in the congratulations on next year's Zhengdan."

While Yuan Shu was sleeping soundly, he vaguely heard someone calling him.

After struggling for a while in his sleep, he woke up when someone outside was calling him. After being drunk last night, Yuan Shu only had a splitting headache. He held his head and barely sat up, but his left hand touched something soft.

He looked down, and beside him lay two beautiful girls, who looked exactly the same, a pair of twins.

However, the appearance is eye-catching, very unfamiliar, the reaction of the drunken

He should have been slow, and when he just woke up, Yuan Shu rubbed his forehead and thought for a while before he remembered that these two girls were newly presented to him by his lover, Li Yexin.

At the banquet last night, it was these two women who accompanied the wine, probably on a whim after getting drunk, so they made the two women accompany them to bed, right?

Yuan Shu thought so in his heart.

The voice calling from outside the door. Although it wasn't in a hurry, and the sound was not loud, it could be intermittent, and after a while, it made Yuan Shu feel upset. He said impatiently: "What is it called! It's really annoying to disturb one's dreams early in the morning."

It was quiet for a while outside the door, and a voice sounded. Although he tried his best to keep it down, he could still hear that this voice was different from a normal man, slightly sharp, but he said that the man was an eunuch. - It turns out that when the Luoyang palace city was burned down by Dong Zhuo a few years ago, and when Liu Xie was forced to move to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo, the palace only experienced massacres by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, etc. There were only a few eunuchs left. He was able to accompany Liu Xie, and the rest either died in the chaos or went to the people. This eunuch's family was in Nanyang, and he was one of the people who escaped from the palace, and was later dedicated to Yuan Shu by Li Ye. After all, he had served in the palace and had seen the world, and he was very happy to iron and paste Yuan Shu's service. Now he was a big slave in Yuan Shu's house.

This eunuch's surname was Zhao, and he was outside the door, so he couldn't see his expression at the moment, but from his tone and tone, we could tell that he must be smiling at the moment. Yuan Shu heard him say softly, "Master, it's not morning, it's past noon."

The bedroom is not without windows, but the curtains are low, and the interior is very dark, so I don't know what's going on outside.

Yuan Shu asked, "Is it past noon? Ah, this sleep is really dizzy! But what's the matter with you yelling?"

The **** Zhao replied: "Reporting to the master, it's not a little slave who is arrogant, disturbing the master's dream, but Chang Shi came in the morning, saying that he has important military affairs and needs to report to the master, and repeatedly urged the little slave to ask the master to give it to him. See. Seeing that it was past noon, the little slave thought that the master was drunk last night, and that he might be sick and unwell, so he should get up and eat some porridge and rice to nourish his stomach, so he had the courage to ask the master to get up."

"Changshi is here?" Yuan Shu murmured, "What is the most important military service? Come here in the morning." He ordered Eunuch Zhao, "Come in, serve me and get dressed."

The two girls who were sleeping with them had woken up, but just now Yuan Shu was talking with the **** outside the door, and the two of them didn't dare to make a sound. At this time, they heard Yuan Shu's words, and hurriedly put on a tulle, not caring about the cold, and crawled away. Get up, get out of bed and look for Yuan Shu's clothes, intending to wait for him to get dressed.

The door of the room opened, and an **** who was about 20 or 30 years old came in from the outside, bent over and arched his body, holding a stack of new clothes, and arrived before and after Yuan Shao's bed. He quickly served Yuan Shao and finished dressing; then he brought warm water that was neither cold nor hot, dipped a silk scarf painted with gold and embroidered silver, and gently wiped Yuan Shao's face. After wiping his face, he took out the toothbrush and helped Yuan Shao brush his teeth. After brushing, Yuan Shao took a sip of water and rinsed his mouth for a while. Eunuch Zhao brought a spittoon made of Dushan jade in time, but Yuan Shu did not spit the water into the spittoon, and signaled the two girls to open their mouths and spit on them. In his mouth, he smiled and said, "You two are rewarded!"

Eunuch Zhao put down the spittoon and said, "Master drank too much last night, and my stomach will definitely feel uncomfortable. The little slave has already ordered to make the sober soup. Do you want to use some first?"

"I don't want to eat right now, I just want to throw up."

The two young girls swallowed Yuan Shu's mouthwash, and their expressions changed slightly after thinking of something.

Eunuch Zhao said thoughtfully: "Then why don't the slave bring something to induce vomiting for the master?"

Yuan Shu got up from the bed, went down to the ground, supported Eunuch Zhao, rubbed his stomach, stood for a while holding his breath, opened his eyes, and said, "Forget it, I don't feel sick. Where is Chang Shi?"

Eunuch Zhao replied, "Changshi is now in the hall."

Yuan Shu said, "Go see him first."

Eunuch Zhao responded, and respectfully walked forward a little, with Yuan Shu's hand on his shoulder, leading Yuan Shu out.

Yuan Shu walked to the door, stopped, and Gu Xiang knelt down and bowed to the twin girls in tulle at the corner of the bed, pointed at them, and said, "I was drunk last night, and I don't know what I did. , In short, there are too many to do, and you two will accompany you to bed tonight!"

Yuan Shu, who is in his fifties, usually doesn't live up to his expectations. What can he do when he is drunk? Last night he was paralyzed like mud, he couldn't even help him, in fact he didn't do anything. The twin girls didn't dare to say more, bowed down to the ground, and timidly agreed.

Eunuch Zhao joined in the fun and said with a charming smile: "Master was drunk last night, and I don't remember what I did. Last night, the little slave was worried that the master would be thirsty or out of wine. what have you done?"

Yuan Shu asked, "What have I done?"

Although this **** Zhao was a broken man, it was precisely because of his handicap that he knew what men liked to listen to the most. The two delicate flowers can't be beaten, begging for mercy again and again."

Yuan Shu only thought that what the **** said was true. Although he was still hungover, had headaches, nausea, and could not walk steadily, he was still in high spirits. He raised his head and stroked his belly. The two girls glanced sideways, and laughed.

Ren Fang left the dormitory, and a servant had already reported the news to the court.

Yang Hong had been waiting in the hall for a long time, and when he heard that Yuan Shu finally got up and came to the hall, he got up hurriedly, went out of the hall, and bowed down to the corridor to greet him. A pungent smell of wine came with the wind, and then I heard the sound of rustling footsteps, and then tightened again.

Then, Yuan Shu's hoarse voice sounded from a hangover: "Chang Shi said that there are important military affairs to submit, what military affairs is it?"

Yang Hong bowed and saluted, and said respectfully, "Yang Hong, the subordinate official, pays respects to Duke Ming."

"Come up and speak." Yuan Shu passed by him and entered the hall with the **** of Eunuch Zhao.

Yang Hong followed him and returned to the hall.

The two took their seats.

Her own maid holds soup and other things in her hands.

Yuan Shu asked again: "What military affairs? Let Chang Shi Da come to me in the morning."

Yang Hong said: "Ming Gong, the subordinate official has an old friend in the court, and there are often letters between each other. Ming Gong knows about this. But yesterday, the subordinate official received another letter from this old friend. The official's reason was handed over in the letter to say that the general of the chariot and cavalry seems to have the intention of using the army in Nanyang recently."

Yuan Shu was very thirsty. He was drinking water while holding a jade bowl made of Dushan jade. The words suddenly hit his ears, and he almost choked on the water.

Eunuch Zhao hurriedly approached, caught the tea bowl, and took out a silk scarf to wipe off the water splashes on his beard for him.

Yuan Shu pushed Eunuch Zhao away, his eyes widened, and he said, "Xun Zhenzhi is going to use Nanyang? Why didn't I know about this?"

Yang Hong said: "The clerk also only read about it yesterday from the letter that the clerk gave him."

Yuan Shu asked, "Where is your old friend's book?"

Yang Hong had already prepared, so he took out his old book from his arms.

Eunuch Zhao came down and took it, and handed it over to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu made two strokes three times, opened the letter, and looked at it quickly.

The content of this letter is not too long. The first half of the letter is about chores. It should be that Yang Hong asked this person's father, mother, wife and son in his letter to this person. The answer in the middle is short for parents; the second half mentions three or two recent events in the DPRK and China, such as Tun Tian and Liu Xie rewarding Xun Zhen, etc. The last sentence is what Yang Hong said " Xun Zhen intends to use Nanyang as an army", and wrote: "I heard about it before, and the chariots and chariots tasted and said to the left and right, 'Beside the couch, how can you let others sleep soundly'. The general and Liu Jingzhou have been at odds for a long time, and if chariots and horses attack Nanyang today, Liu Jingzhou will definitely respond to Xiangyang, and when the time comes, the general Zuo will be attacked from north and south, and he will be difficult to support and steal his plan, so why not find a way out earlier?”

Yuan Shu's eyes turned twice on "Seeking a way out early", and when he raised his head, his nervousness no longer existed, he pointed to the letter, and said to Yang Hong with a smile, "Deye, Dare to invite your old friend to persuade you to find another way out! 'Find another way out', where is this other way out? Is he trying to recruit you for the court and persuade you to switch to Xun Zhenzhi?"

Yang Hong left the table, went down to the hall, and said: "Duke Ming, the loyalty of the officials to Duke Ming can be seen every day! Not to mention the fact that the officials did not invite the officials to enter the court, that's what he said, The subordinates won't even listen to it!"

Yuan Shu stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Changshi is a loyal and righteous person. I naturally know that what I just said was nothing more than a joke. Changshi doesn't need to take it seriously. Please get up quickly." He motioned **** Zhao to help Yang Hong.

Eunuch Zhao helped Yang Hong to get up, and said with a coquettish smile: "Master is just joking with Chang Shi, look at Chang Shi! Chang Shi, please get up quickly!"

Yang Hong got goosebumps all over, got up quickly, and moved to the side. Eunuch Zhao twisted his **** and returned to Yuan Shu's seat.

Yuan Shu asked Yang Hong to return to the table and take a seat.

After he sat down, Yuan Shu put the letter from his old friend on the case and said, "De Ye, the letter from your old friend just mentioned a sentence that Xun Zhenzhi once said, 'Beside the couch' and so on. How can you conclude that he is going to use troops on Nanyang? But you hurriedly came to see me and told me that Xun Zhenzhi would use troops in Nanyang, and you couldn’t help but make a fuss.”

Yang Hong said: "Ming Gong, although the old friend of Hongzhi is only in this letter, he mentioned that the charioteer tasted 'the side of the couch', but 'the side of the couch, UU reading www.uukanshu.com how can others sleep soundly', What does it mean? Please explain the details. This 'side of the couch', besides talking about Nanyang, what else could it be?"

Yuan Shu said, "What if he is talking about my Nanyang? Even though my Nanyang is on the side of his couch, if he wants to use Nanyang, he must first dispatch troops, raise food, and recruit civilians? You old friend. In the book, this is not mentioned at all, and you and I have never heard of these news, but it is nothing more than 'the side of the couch', what? He can attack me in Nanyang by relying on this sentence?"

Yang Hong said: "Ming Gong's words are true, but Ming Gong, it has been more than half a year since the imperial court moved from Chang'an to Xu County. The power and position in the court are not the same. Last month, the state made a plan, and the Quartet went to the court to plan according to the order, and nearly half of the counties in the country! It is now that Xu County has gradually settled down, and the position of the chariots in the court has gradually stabilized. Duke Ming, now that there is another chariot, the officials are deeply worried. I'm afraid it won't be too long when he uses Nanyang, the officials are stupid, and Duke Ming must not take it lightly, it's better to prepare as soon as possible, if you want to be prepared!"

Yuan Shu said, "On the basis of the wisdom of the long history, what should I do to prepare as soon as possible?" But it was this Yang Hong story that he handed over to the book, and the words of persuading Yang Hong to find another way out as soon as possible aroused a concern. It was he who had wanted to ask Yang Hong for a long time, raised his eyes, glanced at Yang Hong, and said: "I heard that Qing has been talking to people recently, saying that I should follow the imperial decree and send officials to see the emperor, but I don't know about this. Do you have?" Touching his beard, he chuckled, "Changshi said just now that you would not enter the dynasty, but is it difficult? Is Changshi trying to persuade me to enter the dynasty?"
