The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 8 Chapter 15: Li Meng continued to fight the sword in front of the couch

Hearing the voices of Xun You and Sun Jian talking outside the tent, Xun Zhen looked at Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu and said with a smile, "The stage is here! Your Excellency will come from me to greet you." , took Xi Zhicai to open the tent and went out to greet him.

This is Xun Zhen's barracks. Sun Jian couldn't bring too many knights with him, so he only brought Sun Ben, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao. The other knights were either sent to the east of the county, or stayed in the county. Seeing Xun Zhen coming out of the tent, he stopped talking to Xun You, and said to Xun Zhen with a smile, "I said that I can come to the banquet in one hour at most, how about that?"

"The general really believes in people!"

Sun Jian laughed.

"Is things going well?"

Sun Jian said disdainfully: "Seeing me leading the troops straight in, he was so frightened that he was paralyzed on the couch, unable to speak, and he couldn't even stand up. How could such a person be the prefect of a state? It's ridiculous, ridiculous. , I will chop him off with a knife.”

Xun Zhen knew in his heart, "I will chop up a person with a false reputation like this." Sun Jian is not bragging. In the original history, he really "chopped" "such a person", and he also Not only "chopped" one, first Wang Rui, then Zhang Zi.

Speaking of which, Wang Rui, Zhang Zi, and Kong Duo were really all the same, regardless of their reputation and ability, they were all very similar.

First of all, these three people are from the right surname of the prefecture and county, and they are famous all over the world. They are all first-class celebrities, and they are valued by scholars; A false name."

Wang Rui, a dignified governor of Jingzhou, was forced to die upstairs by Sun Jian for the reason of "sitting ignorant", that is, "I don't know what your sins are". Soldiers, when Sun Jian commanded tens of thousands of people to enter Nanyang to borrow food from him, they actually listened to what his subordinates said, thinking that Sun Jian was the prefect of a neighboring county and was not qualified to ask him for food in Nanyang, so he refused. Dare to go to Sun Jian's banquet, you must know that Sun Jian just killed Wang Rui with the excuse of "sitting ignorant" not long ago. The fate is known.

Kong Yu is similar. He doesn't have military talent, and he has no ability to be sharp. He can only talk about high-level theories, and he can only talk about boring things. In other words, he is also a famous person who can talk about it. Competing against a contemporary hero like Xun Zhen and a current tiger general like Sun Jian is just that, but he is unwilling. , did not want to kill Xun Zhen's hometown prefect, he might have already become a fallen corpse at this time.

Xun Zhen asked, "Where is Kong Yuzhou now?"

"The two people around him are a bit daring, one is Li Yan, the other is Kong De, especially the one called Li Yan, who is loyal to the Lord. After I entered the hall, he was in front of the sword couch, angered and shouted like Lei, scolded me for being rude. I liked his courage and let him and Kong De stand with Kong Duo. Now, Kong Duo should have returned to the Yuzhou army."

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "I went to greet Kong Dian earlier, and it was this Li Yan who invited me to go to the Yuzhou army. At that time, I saw that he was not amazing, he was polite, and he didn't take it seriously. This man is a man of great courage."

Not to mention the elite cavalry soldiers led by Sun Jian, but only to say that they dared to draw a sword in front of the fierce tiger Sun Jian and scold him. Li Yan's courage was not just "a bit" as Sun Jian said, but "a bit".

After hearing that Kong Dian should have returned to the Yuzhou army, Xun Zhen did not ask any more questions, and smiled and invited Sun Jian to enter the tent, saying, "I didn't expect Qing to come so quickly, and the food and drink to catch the wind and dust for Qing have not had time to arrange. And please sit in the tent and wait for a while."

Sun Jian called Sun Ben to come forward, pointed to something in Sun Ben's hand, and said to Xun Zhen with a smile, "After Kong Dian left the hall, I saw this thing on the case, it was flawless, shiny and playful, so I brought it here. , send it to your Majesty."

Xun Zhen looked at it, but saw that it was a jade Ruyi.

Sun Jian is a fierce general, and he has no interest in such things that celebrities like, and Xun Zhen has no interest either, so he motioned Xun You to come forward to catch it, and said with a smile, "Jun Ruyu, your tentacles are warm. A celebrity in Kongyu Prefecture, this must be his. The beloved thing, Taiwan, you and I are not good at taking love. Gongda, you immediately ride to the Yuzhou army and return this thing to Kong Yuzhou."

After a pause, Xun Zhen said again: "If there are bandit lords, it's like a cut. I heard that Xu Shuzhong, Runan, said in the past that 'the beauty of jade and stone has five virtues', but I am not good at reading and can't remember the third virtue. What is it, ask Kong Yuzhou and ask him to teach me."

Xu Shuzhong is Xu Shen, a famous Confucian scholar in Zhang and Andi. His book "Explaining Words" is one of the earliest dictionaries in the world, and he created a precedent for radical inspection of characters. He is a famous sage in Runan. He once said that the beauty of jade has five virtues, and the third virtue is "its sound is soothing, it is only heard from afar, and it is the way of wisdom".

Since Xun Zhen mentioned this third virtue, of course he did not know what the third virtue was talking about. The reason why Xun You was asked to ask Kong Dian was obviously to warn Kong Dian: "Those who know others are clear, those who know themselves know themselves. Wisdom", people have self-knowledge, let him not be confused again.

Sun Jian didn't know what Xu Shen was referring to as the "five virtues of jade", but he understood Xun Zhen's first move, that is, Xun Zhen asked Xun You to personally go to the Yuzhou army and return the jade Ruyi to Kong Dian's order. . He thought to himself: "Zhenzhi's plan is great. Kong Duo was expelled by me, and he must be embarrassed and angry. At this time, he was probably in the Yuzhou army meeting with the generals to seek revenge. In front of the full account of the generals of the Yuzhou army, he 'returned' it to Kong Yu. Even if Kong Yu was not angry, his prestige among the Yuzhou army generals would definitely fall to the point where he could no longer fall. , even if he had the will to raise an army to attack me and Zhenzhi, it would be difficult to do so."

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu also saw this.

Xi Zhicai stroked his beard and smiled.

Xun Yu couldn't bear it, he wanted to say something, as if he wanted to dissuade Xun Zhen from being so rude to Confucius, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, and said to himself, "Kong Gong talks about famous people without real talent. , as Zhicai said: tens of thousands of Yuzhou troops are better off listening to Brother A's orders than under other tents. To this end, this position as the prefect of Yuzhou is a beautiful piece of jade. It is not like Kong Gong can live in it. Even if Brother A does not find trouble with him, sooner or later, others will come to trouble him, for the sake of millions of lives in this state. People, for the Han family to be able to settle their plans as soon as possible, I can only make him suffer some grievances. If he can see the good and the bad, retreat bravely, and surrender power, it will be good for him, and it will always be better than dying in chaos in the future."

Xun Yu is a gentleman of Xiuya, but at the same time, he is also a wise realist, not a soft-hearted, good-natured person.

Xun You received the order, took Yu Ruyi, and because he was wearing thin, he found a big cloak and put it on, and went to lead the horse out of the camp.

Xun Zhen and Sun Jian joined hands to enter the account.

After waiting too long, the food, drink and water were also sent in.

As the sky was getting dark, there were tents separated by outside, the lighting in the tents was not good, and it darkened in advance, and the thick candles were lit, the candles were bright, Xun Zhen was the main party, Sun Jian was the guest, and the rest of the people were there to accompany them. , the atmosphere of the tent became lively.

The army was not allowed to drink alcohol, but it was a long time away from Sun Jian, so Xun Zhen made an exception today.

However, even though there was wine, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian did not drink much. After all, Kong Ni returned to the Yuzhou army. Even if they were confident that the Yuzhou army would not follow him to attack Xunzhen and Sun Jian, there were tens of thousands of Yuzhou army. People, as long as there is a 10% chance of existence, they should not be careless.

After the dishes were over, the guards outside the tent opened the tent, the cold wind rushed into the tent, and the candles were extinguished.

Everyone looked back at the entrance of the tent, but saw that Xun You had returned.

I do not know when, the night has come.

When the tent fell, Xun Zhen came to enter the tent.

Xun Zhen stopped the cup to look at him, and asked with a smile, "Can I send it back to Kong Yuzhou?"

Xun You replied, "You personally returned Yu Ruyi to Kong Yuzhou."

Sun Jian and the others all looked on Xun You's face, seeing that his expression was the same as usual, without any abnormality, they all said to themselves, "Gongda has just returned from the Yuzhou army, and his expression is as usual, it seems as expected, this Yuzhou army is as expected. You won't come to fight with me."

Xun Zhen asked, "If I asked you to ask, did you ask?"

"asked."

"How did Kong Yuzhou answer?"

"When I arrived at his tent, he was in the assembly of the generals. After listening to the question of the prince, he was very angry at first, his face was red as red, he got up and pointed his halberd, as if he wanted to reprimand me, but after looking around the tent once. After the generals, in the end, there was nothing to say, and I sat down slumped."

Needless to say, this must have been due to the fact that the Yuzhou army was indifferent to Kong Yu's humiliation, so Kong Yu had no confidence. Although he was embarrassed and angry, he did not dare to scold Xun You.

The matter has become clear. In the face of the alliance between Xun Zhen and Sun Jian, Kong Yu has lost his strength, and there is no chance of turning over. Sun Jian has settled down in Yingchuan, and the Yuzhou Army has no need to worry anymore.

Sun Jian smiled and said, "The night wind is cold and cold, and it is twenty or thirty miles back and forth. Gongda, you have worked hard for you. Come and take a seat. I will bring you a glass of hot wine to warm up."

There was a space vacated for Xun You, and he said goodbye and took a seat. When he sat down, Sun Jian brought him the wine in person. He thanked him again and again, but had no choice but to take it and drink it. Sun Jian, Sun Ben, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao all know that Xun You and Xun Zhen grew up together since childhood, and they were deeply in love. Now Xun You is also Xun Zhen's right-hand man. You're here." After Sun Jian, Sun Ben and the others also came over to serve Xun You wine. Xun You couldn't refuse, so he had to drink one by one. He ran back and forth for nearly thirty miles, and was on an empty stomach. Under the bombardment, he was the first to get drunk this night.

Although it was certain that the Yuzhou army would not come to attack, for the sake of safety, the cavalry of Xunzhen's camp was still on alert that night, waiting for the day, until the next morning, no Yuzhou soldiers came, Xunzhen. Only then did Zhen get rid of the military order and ordered all the ministries to return to the base camp.

Sun Jian and Xun Zhen slept in the same bed last night~www.wuxiaspot.com~Sun Jian drank a bit too much last night, Xun Zhen woke up early, and he was still snoring when he woke up.

After Xun Zhen released the military order, he sat in front of the case, took out Cao Cao's letter, and said to himself, "Kong Du has already surrendered, the stage has arrived, and he has successfully entered the Yingchuan prefecture, then I should Discuss with him about Meng De's invitation to us to send troops to attack Dong, but before that, there are still two things to do." While thinking about it, Dian Wei Tiji, who was outside the guard's tent, came in. .

"Awei, why haven't you gone to rest?"

Last night was Dian Wei's rotation. He served outside the tent all night. When Xun Zhen just went out to give orders, he saw that Zhao Yun had come to take over and asked him to return to the tent to rest, but he didn't expect that he was still outside the tent.

Dian Wei glanced at Sun Jian, who was lying on the couch and was soundly asleep, but did not say a word.

Xun Zhen thought to himself, "This innocent son-in-law! But he is worried that Taiwan will harm me?" Knowing that this was Dian Wei's loyalty, and Sun Jian was still in bed, he couldn't say much, so he shook his head and smiled, "God already Da Liang, the dragon is outside, go back and rest."

Dian Wei said in a stern voice, "Reporting to the lord, the guards at the camp gate came to report, saying that there were thousands of people from outside the camp, and the leader claimed to be Handan Rong."
