Jingzhou, Xinye.
Liu Bei looked sad, sat in his seat and sighed.
"Big brother, why such a gesture?" Zhang Fei couldn't stand it, "But what's the trouble?" "
Although Guan Yu did not speak, he also cast a concerned gaze.
"Alas~" Liu Bei sighed, "It's not because Cao Cao is about to raise troops to march south, an army of 150,000!" "
"With so many people, they can level the small county of Xinye." Liu Bei was worried.
"Afraid of what?!" Zhang Fei patted his chest and said, "I'll break it for my eldest brother!" "
Liu Bei shook his head slightly, did not speak, knowing that this was simply impossible.
Thousands of people plus stratagem, plus fierce generals such as Guan Zhang Zhao, can defeat 20,000 Cao troops.
But what if you face 150,000? How can thousands win 150,000 people?
Guan Yu also realized the seriousness of the matter and understood that with thousands of troops, holding the small county of Xinye, it was simply not enough to resist the Cao army.
"Big brother, why not retreat?" Guan Yu suggested: "Anyway, we don't have many people, wouldn't it be good to withdraw." "
"Can't be withdrawn." Liu Bei shook his head helplessly, "After a hard year, seeing that the autumn harvest is imminent, how can I withdraw?" "
Guan Yu was speechless when he heard this, and this point really could not be refuted.
The time of the Cao army's attack was just before the autumn harvest.
If Liu Bei wanted to escape, he could only give up a year's harvest.
Please Zhuge Liang come out of the mountain, carefully manage the new field for a year, and wait to use this year's autumn grain to expand the army.
If you escape early, this opportunity will definitely be lost.
And even if you escape, you must bring enough food and grass, otherwise the team will definitely disperse.
Therefore, for the sake of this year's autumn grain, Liu Bei could not leave early.
"Why didn't the Lord ask the strategist?" Zhao Yun couldn't help but speak.
"Huh? What about Kong Mingren? Zhang Fei suddenly said strangely: "Why don't you see water?" Big brother, this fish is still here. "
"You, when is this, and there is still a mind to laugh." Liu Bei couldn't help but laugh and scold, the atmosphere was a little more relaxed, and explained: "Kong Ming went to Xiangyang..."
"Master, your subordinates are back."
Zhuge Liang's voice sounded, and Liu Bei and several people immediately got up to greet him.
"The water finally came back, and the fish were dying." Zhang Fei teased.
Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard this, and then asked with a smile: "The lord is worried about Cao Cao's southern expedition?" "
"yes." Liu Bei nodded and agreed, "Let's go, let's go into the house." "
The group returned to the room and sat down separately.
"Kong Ming, the small city of Xinye cannot be guarded, and the autumn grain cannot be withdrawn before the harvest, how should I decide now?"
Faced with Liu Bei's question, Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan and did not answer positively.
"Master, his subordinates have just returned from Xiangyang." Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "Liu Biao heard that Cao Cao wanted to raise an army to march south, and he was so frightened that he couldn't afford to get sick, and he was afraid that he would die soon..."
"Hey! This old man Liu is really useless and too timid. Zhang Fei blurted out.
"Brother Jing Sheng is sick?" Liu Bei hurriedly said, "Then I have to go to Xiangyang to visit." "
"Big brother can't." Guan Yu immediately said, "Cai Yao is very hostile to you, and it is too dangerous to go to Xiangyang now. "
"Lord, the situation in Xiangyang is turbulent, you really shouldn't take risks at this time." Zhuge Liang also persuaded.
"Alas~" Liu Bei sighed, "That's it, then don't go." "
"By the way, Kong Ming, you haven't said how to deal with Cao Jun's affairs."
Seeing that Liu Bei didn't understand what he meant, Zhuge Liang had to pick it up and said: "Lord, when Liu Biao was alive, you were not willing to take Jingzhou, now Liu Biao is about to die, you can enter Jingzhou, and the power of one state to fight against Cao Cao is definitely better than guarding a small county in Xinye." "
Guan Zhang Zhao was surprised when he heard this, and suddenly felt that Zhuge Liang had a point.
If you can't use Xinye to fight against Cao Cao, then use Jingzhou to fight against Cao Cao.
"It's not appropriate..." Liu Bei shook his head and refused, "Brother Jing Sheng is in danger, how can I take advantage of the danger of others?" "
"Master..."
"I'm tired of Kong Ming, and then think of a strategy." Liu Bei said in a firm tone.
"I... Alas~" Zhuge Liang was also speechless.
Obviously, there are ready-made good strategies in front of him, but Liu Bei just doesn't adopt them, but he must stick to the benevolence and righteousness in his heart.
"If this is the case, then we can only wait until after the autumn harvest before withdrawing the troops." Zhuge Liang said helplessly: "Shou must not be able to keep, and the autumn grain cannot be abandoned." "
"Kong Ming." Liu Bei's eyes were sincere: "It's hard for you... It was I who delayed your talent. "
"Lord, don't do that." Zhuge Liang shook his head gently, "The reason why I am willing to follow you out of the mountain is precisely because I am touched by the benevolence and righteousness in you. "
"It is rare that the Lord can keep such a sincere heart in troubled times." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "If I, Zhuge Liang, really want to follow that kind of unscrupulous monarch, I can go directly to Cao Cao, why follow the weak lord?" "
The two monarchs looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
"Three generals." Zhuge Liang looked at Guan Zhang Zhao and ordered, "Take advantage of the fact that the Cao army has not yet come, hurry up and expand the army, how can you make up enough 10,000 troops, otherwise it will be too weak." "
"Don't worry, military master." Guan Yu hugged his fist and said, "Our original strength, plus the captured Cao army, and then recruit some new soldiers, it is not a problem to make up 10,000 people." "
"That's good."
Tan County.
"Sister-in-law, go back quickly, and then send it to Hebei."
Outside the Long Pavilion, by the official road.
Mrs. Ding was reluctant and sent ten miles to each other, but she was still reluctant to let Cai Yan and Sun Shangxiang leave.
"Grandma doesn't have to be sad." Sun Shangxiang comforted: "We will come back in a few days, Cangshu will go to Jingzhou in a few days, and then the child and husband will come to see you." "
After getting along for a long time, Sun Shangxiang changed her words and changed from a righteous mother to an aunt.
Mrs. Ding not only had no opinion on this, but was also extremely happy and treated Sun Shangxiang as her own daughter.
Living alone for many years, Mrs. Ding enjoyed the joy of heaven again in Sun Shangxiang.
"Well, then be careful on your way." Mrs. Ding instructed, but her hand still pulled Sun Shangxiang and was reluctant to let go.
Then he looked at Cai Yan and said, "That slut of the Bian family dares to calculate you, just tell me, and I will personally go over and teach her a lesson." "
The relationship between Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian was not good, or very poor, and this matter is recorded in the history books.
From Sun Shangxiang's mouth, he learned that Mrs. Bian calculated Cai Yan's marriage, and Mrs. Ding was furious.
"Zhaoji doesn't have the support of her family, and her sister-in-law supports you, so you can't let outsiders bully."
Cai Yan's heart warmed when he heard this, and he seemed to remember something, and said: "I can't say that there is no family, I actually have a sister, but when I went to Chang'an Road, she was still very young... I don't know where I am now..."
Seeing that his husband fell into sadness, Sun Shangxiang immediately diverted the topic and said, "Mother rest assured, with Cangshu here, Mr. will be fine." "
"You nizi." Mrs. Ding teased: "It's always Cangshu Cangshu, I don't know if he poured soul soup on you?" "
"Which time there is a chance to bring the control of the mother, see if it can be matched with Xiao Xiang'er."
"Mother makes fun of the child and ignores you." Sun Shangxiang said shyly.
"Giggle~" Mrs. Ding and Cai Yan laughed forward and backward.
The wheels turned, the carriage slowly moved away, and Mrs. Ding watched the second daughter leave, and couldn't help but look forward to the next reunion.
Inside the carriage.
"My sister-in-law doesn't seem to resist meeting Cangshu, which is a good thing." Cai Yan continued: "If Cangshu can get the approval of his sister-in-law, the resistance to becoming an heir is much smaller. "
"Exactly." Sun Shangxiang suggested: "Cangshu, he wants to go south, and when the time comes, he will definitely pass through Gu County, let him take the time to come over." "
"Cangshu's mouth is like smeared with honey, and Grandma must like him."
"That wouldn't be better."
The conversation ended and the carriage fell silent.
Escorted by the soldiers, the team returned towards Yecheng.
Yecheng, East Gate.
A long convoy appeared on the official road, and there were sergeants guarding on both sides, which were heavily guarded.
But if you get closer, you will see that it is not some distinguished person traveling, but a group of prisoners sitting in the prison car.
The prisoner car was all imprisoned by Kong Rong and the three tribes, escorted all the way from Qingzhou to Yecheng, rushed to the autumn to be beheaded, and carried the sacrificial banner for the army.
Kong Rong is not from the Kong family, so even if the three tribes are destroyed, the big tree of the Kong family still exists, but it lacks the branch of Kong Rong.
"Mother, go back quickly." A teenager stood in the prison car and turned back with difficulty.
"Nope!" An emaciated young woman gritted her teeth and followed the convoy, "Your father left early, and he entrusted me before he died, so my mother must take care of you." "
The young man's name is Yangfa, and the young woman's name is Cai Zhenji, the two sides are mother-son relationship, but not biological mother and son, Cai Zhenji is Yangfa's stepmother.
And Yangfa's biological mother's surname is Kong, which is Kong Rong's own daughter.
In other words, Yangfa is Kong Rong's biological grandson, and is naturally in the ranks of the three tribes.
Kong Rong's daughter is dead, leaving a son like Yangfa.
And the husband was also not long ago, so the three tribes of Yi would not be involved in the sheep family, and only took the sheep hair alone.
Cai Zhenji pity Yangfa's parents who died early, so she is very good to this stepson.
Once, when her biological son and stepson Yangfa fell ill at the same time, Cai Zhenji resolutely took care of her stepson wholeheartedly, neglecting to take care of her parents and children, resulting in the death of her biological son, but Yangfa was cured.
This time, his stepson Yangfa was implicated by Kong Rong, and Cai Zhenji was not far away, following all the way, trying to find a way to save his stepson.
To this end, Cai Zhenji left a pair of newborn and unweaned children in her hometown and handed them over to others to take care of.
When the stepmother comes to this, it is also rare in ancient and modern times.
The prison car team soon drove into Yecheng, and all of them were sent to the prison of the court captain.
"Stop! Idle people are not allowed to enter. "The servants in front of the gate stopped Cai Zhenji.
Seeing her stepson being escorted away and disappearing from sight, Cai Zhenji couldn't help but be anxious.
"I want to see you."
"Sneer~" Yan Yan laughed when he heard this, and directly did not bother to deal with the other party.
"My husband is Shangdang Taishou, from the Taishan Goat clan, so I will report it." Cai Zhenji said as she untied the jade pendant around her waist and stuffed it in the hands of the servants.
Cai Zhenji didn't lie, her husband is indeed a two-thousand-stone taishou, and the Yang family is also a family, but unfortunately has passed away.
Cai Zhenji also begged her husband's former friends, but as soon as she heard that it was the "Kong Rong case", no one dared to help.
Just kidding, this was personally ordered by the prime minister, who would be willing to take the risk to intercede, not to mention that this Taishou is already dead.
That is, Yan Yan did not see it, was stunned by Cai Zhenji, and was reluctant to give up this good jade, and finally helped Cai Zhenji to report.
Not long after, the chief officer of the court captain was really willing to meet, which made Cai Zhenji excited.
Inside the Yamen.
Full of favor sat on the main throne, looking through the list of prisoners who had been escorted.
"The people's daughter Cai Shi has seen the Fujun."
"Excuse me." Full of favors did not raise his head, "What's the matter with you?" "
"My son has hair... Implicated and detained here, please open up the net? Cai Zhenji said bow down.
"Kong Rong case?"
"Yes..."
Full of favor flipped through the bamboo Jian, found the name of the sheep hair, and said indifferently: "My grandson, naturally in the three clans, is dead." "
Cai Zhenji's face turned dead when she heard this, and she kowtowed and said, "Ask the lord for grace." "
"It's useless to beg me." (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
Full of favor is an iron-faced selfless, he dares to catch the sect of the Cao and Xiahou families, how can he give a woman extrajudicial grace.
"Who is useful?" Cai Zhenji hurriedly asked, "Please also ask the adult to point out a clear way." "
"It is useless to beg anyone, this is an order given by the prime minister." Full of pet oil and salt do not enter.
"Sir, my husband is also an official of the DPRK and China, and he died in office for the country, this is his only bloodline, you are pitiful." Cai Zhenji lied and lied again.
Hearing this, Man Pong's face showed unbearable expression, and he thought for a while and said: "The only person who can make Prime Minister Cheng change his mind is Cao Chong's son, who is Prime Minister Cheng's favorite son." "
"It just so happens that he is the person in charge of this case, and Xie Ling must also tie the bell person, you can find him to give it a try."
Kong Rong's case was led by Cao Chong, and Cao Cao let his beloved son be responsible in name, which was regarded as giving credit to his son in vain, after all, Kong Rong's crime included treason.
Cao Chong is still in Zhang Luo's mansion, and everything here is left to Man Cao to be responsible for, and he can report to Cao Cao after the case is over.
"Thank you for your guidance."
Prime Minister's House.
Cai Zhenji stood not far away, wanting to wait here until some big man came out.
She still had courage, but when she entered the prime minister's house, she felt weak in her heart.
Cao Cao is murderous, who is not afraid?
In fact, Cai Zhenji did not know that she only needed to report her home and the door of her mother's house, and she could easily enter and even be treated as a guest.
Cai Zhenji's father is the Great Ru Cai Yong.
In other words, Cai Zhenji and Cai Yan are sisters, but the age difference is a little big.
When Cao Cao studied with Cai Yong, Cai Zhenji had not yet been born.
Then Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an, and the young Cai Zhenji was scattered on the road and picked up by an uncle named Yang Ji, Cai Zhenji's later husband.
Cai Zhenji followed Yang Yong back to Qingzhou, she only remembered that her father was called Cai Yong, and when she grew up, she learned that her father was a great Confucian and had passed away for many years, and she did not know the relationship between Cai Yong and Cao Cao.
In addition, Cai Zhenji also knows the existence of a sister, but the world is so big, separated for so many years, who knows where this sister is? Maybe it's no longer alive.
After waiting for a long time without moving, Cai Zhenji finally plucked up the courage to come to the door in order to save her stepson.
"What for? Sneaky and staring at you for a long time. "
Cai Zhenji's body shook, and she said fearfully: "I came to ask for Cao Chong's son..."
"Oh? What are you? What does it have to do with Gongzi? When the guards heard Cao Chong's name, their attitude was obviously better.
Cai Zhenji wanted to stop talking, what could she have to do with Cao Chong?
Seeing Cai Zhenji's pitiful appearance, the guards couldn't help but think crookedly when they wanted to say that Hugh (Zhao who got it).
Could it be that Gongzi is outside... Woman?
"You wait, I'll go and inform you."
Back house.
Cao Chong lay on the bed reading a book.
"Gongzi?"
"In."
The guards came in from outside, and Cao Chong looked up and asked, "Brother Shen, what's going on?" "
There was no one in the mansion that Cao Chong did not know or was unfamiliar with.
"Gongzi, there is a woman outside who wants to see you." Guards Shen approached and smiled strangely: "The thief is beautiful, is it from outside the prince..."
"Stop, stop." Cao Chong scolded with a smile: "Less than his mother talking meat, the little master is not yet time, where can there be a woman to collect the debt?" "
"Hey, hey." Guardian Shen smiled and said, "That little one drove him away?" "
"See you, since you are looking for me by name, and see what happens." Cao Chong closed the scroll, and he was idle anyway.
"Oh."
Not long after, Cai Zhenji was brought to Cao Chong.
"Minnu Cai, meet Gongzi."
"Excuse me." Cao Chong waved his hand and said, "We don't know each other, what are you looking for me for?" "
"Ask the prince for grace, spare my son's life..."
Cao Chong did not speak, listening to Cai Zhenji tell the cause and consequence.
"Grandson Kong Rong, there is absolutely no reason to let go, you go back."
Cao Chong did not have the slightest favorable impression of Kong Rong, and naturally would not agree to the counterparty's request.
"Gongzi... If Gongzi can rescue... Let the concubine do anything! "Cai Zhenji is pitiful and intends to sacrifice her life to Cao Chong in exchange for the opportunity for her stepson's life.
"Anything?" Cao Chong looked at her hairstyle, "You're already married, your husband..."
"Passed away."
"You're a... Widow? "
"Hmm."
For a moment, Cao Chong seemed to feel something awakening in his body.
Seeing that Cao Chong did not speak, Cai Zhenji still thought that she acquiesced, got up wordlessly, and reached out to directly tear off her belt: Middle.
In front of the house.
A carriage slowly stopped, and Cai Yan and Sun Shangxiang got off one after another
"Sir, let's go find Cangshu."
"Hmm."
