Chapter 1273 Nanny
More than twenty years ago, Sun Quan sent someone to ask Guan Yu, who was guarding Jingzhou, to marry the tiger girl of the Guan family on behalf of his son.
This move once put Guan Yu into a dilemma.
In response, a thunder will be laid between Guan Yu and Liu Bei.
After all, Liu Bei entrusted the entire Jingzhou to Guan Yu. If Guan Yu secretly marries Sun Quan, what would Liu Bei, who is far away in Shu, think?
Or what do others think Liu Bei would think?
If not, Sun Quan can accuse Guan Yu of destroying the Sun-Liu alliance and make excuses for attacking Jingzhou in the future.
Even if Guan Yu adopts the most conservative approach and sends people to Shuzhong to report, it is enough to frustrate Liu Bei:
Why does Guan Yu even have to report his daughter’s marriage to you?
You don’t trust others that much?
As for Guan Yu, it would be better if he sent someone to Shu to ask Liu Bei for instructions on his daughter's marriage.
what is this?
The most powerful general in Liu Bei's group, Guan Yu, who has full power to guard Jingzhou, is he such a figure without any opinion?
How is this different from a woman?
It makes people look down upon for nothing!
Therefore, it was not without reason that Guan Yu came and cursed.
Unexpectedly, more than twenty years later, the situation changed, and Guan Yu's son-in-law also sent a letter to Lu Xun, who was guarding Jingzhou.
This also put Lu Xun in a dilemma.
If you dare to take down Shangyong in front of me, you are breaking the treaty between Han and Wu. Don't blame me for being rude then.
You decide which one is more important, Youzhou or Shangyong.
(Note: Han and Wu divided the world equally. Whether in history or in the book, Youzhou was assigned to the state of Wu)
(Chapter 1193, Lu Xun asked Feng to send troops to Wuguan, advance to Wancheng, and promised to give up Youzhou, which originally belonged to Wu State, to Han State.
But Feng did not fulfill the agreement, let alone march into Wancheng, and ran away before officially crossing the river to attack Caoqiao Pass, so this promise must be invalid, and Youzhou naturally still belongs to Wu. )
Taking advantage of last year's ability to turn defeat into victory, Mr. Feng also kindly reminded the general:
If you, the Wu State, don't take Hefei quickly, you will still be blocked under the city of Hefei while our Han army marches eastward.
Do you still want Qingzhou and Xuzhou that were originally allocated to you?
"For example, after the annexation of Wei, the king did not fully understand the destiny of heaven. Each king will display his virtues, each minister will fulfill his loyalty, and the war will begin."
This is what our right-guard general (Deng Zhi) said personally to the Lord of Wu when he was on a mission to the state of Wu.
But Lord Wu even laughed and admitted it at that time.
After the destruction of Wei, the Han-Wu alliance was officially ended, and the two countries automatically became enemies.
If the two states of Qingxu fall into our hands, do you still want to beg for Qingxu again just like you did for Jingzhou?
It can be done once and never again!
How about using clever words to seduce Mr. Feng?
After these words, even the land general, who was known for his ability to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, was unable to hold on and directly broke through the defense on the spot.
General Shang, who had broken his guard, never thought that the purpose of the letter written by Feng was not limited to this.
Not only did he clearly want to rob Shangyong, but he also had extremely vicious intentions behind his back.
You, the general, insist on fighting against Shangyong. I will not argue with you, but if the state of Wu loses any one or three of Youqingxu in the future, you will bear full responsibility.
When the time comes, you will see if Emperor Sun wants to die and you will be finished.
If you don’t attack Shangyong and want to attack Hefei, then you will go back and openly slap Emperor Sun in the face.
If you don’t attack Shangyong and don’t attack Hefei, and you are threatened by someone like Feng, do you have to remind Emperor Sun to capture Hefei in time?
This is called relying on one's own merit to slap the emperor in the face from a distance.
If you don't attack Shangyong or Hefei, or remind Emperor Sun, if the Han army robs Qing Xuyou in the future, Feng will inadvertently reveal:
Ah, I told the general about this a few years ago.
You see if Emperor Sun wants to die, you will be finished...
It’s an infinite loop anyway.
I just want to trick you into making you even breathe wrong!
The only solution to break this dead cycle is for Emperor Sun to send troops promptly and proactively to capture Hefei.
In Feng’s opinion, this is equivalent to having no solution.
Sun Shiwan won Hefei?
Hahaha! —
"Wow ha ha ha ha…"
“Chengzhi, Chengzhi, sir, there’s a letter, there’s a letter!”
Shangyong goes upstream along the Han River, which is Hanzhong.
The most famous county in Hanzhong today is not Nanzheng County, but Nanxiang County.
Although after the emperor moved the capital, many departments such as the Exchange Reserve Bureau College in Nanxiang County also moved to Chang'an, and they were once more lost than before.
But soon, as the imperial court set up a shipyard in Hanzhong and wanted to rebuild the navy, Nanxiang became lively again.
Because the address of the shipyard is exactly in Nanxiang.
In addition to the solid foundation laid by Feng Dashima in his early years, here also has better geographical conditions than Nanzheng.
Nanxiang is right on the edge of the Han River, and just down the river is Shangyong, which is closer than Nanzheng.
Not far to the north is Ziwu Valley, which leads directly to Chang'an, and the distance is also much closer than Nanzheng.
After the emperor moved the capital to Chang'an, the imperial court sent engineering teams to vigorously repair the passages between Hanzhong and Guanzhong to strengthen the connection between the two places.
The Meridian Valley with the shortest distance is naturally the focus of renovation.
Although the Ziwu Valley has been renovated, it is still not as easy to walk as the Baoxie Road, but it is already accessible to ordinary horse and caravans.
Unless they are transporting a large amount of supplies, ordinary business travelers now prefer to go through Ziwu Valley.
Nanxiang is naturally the best place to go to Ziwu Valley, and it is also the final place to prepare supplies.
So soon, the place became lively again.
The most noisy place in Nanxiang is not within the city, but in and around the shipyard outside the city.
Not only were most of the shipwrights of the Han Dynasty gathered there, but the main force of the Han Dynasty's navy in the future was also basically here.
The sound of ships being built in the shipyard, and the sound of the navy conducting simulated water warfare training and shouting to kill, all day and night, quite inherited the feeling of "the dancing of demons" in Nanxiang.
Luo Xian jumped onto a bridge connecting the warships. The bridge board creaked, and some water sprayed out from underneath.
The rocking of the warship caused the bridge to sway as well.
But Luo Xian had long been accustomed to this kind of shaking. He ran and jumped a few times as if he were walking on flat ground, and jumped onto the warship.
His body swayed slightly with the warship, but his feet seemed to have roots, or seemed to have been integrated with the warship, and he did not appear to be unstable at all.
“Chengzhi, sir, there’s a letter!”
Fu Qian, who was originally instructing the naval officers on how to fight on the ship, had already noticed Luo Xian.
But the shouting of killing was so loud that he couldn't hear what the other party was saying for a while.
It wasn't until he saw Luo Xian holding up a letter that his eyes lit up, as if he had remembered something, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
I saw him turn around and give a few hurried instructions to the soldiers, and then he rushed over impatiently.
The small boat swayed from side to side under his feet, and you could even see sparkling water rising up from the side of the boat.
But this kind of shaking is of no importance to Fu Qian.
He jumped onto another boat, and while his body swayed with the boat, he kept taking three steps and two steps at a time, and then jumped onto the boat where Luo Xian was.
“Is it a letter from Mr.? Is it a letter from Mr.?”
Fu Qian shouted loudly before he came to Luo Xian, with hopeful eyes shining in his eyes.
“Letter from sir!”
“Great, show me quickly!”
Fu Qian took the letter from Luo Xian as if he was snatching it, and while opening it, he couldn't wait to ask:
“What did the gentleman say in the letter?”
“Sir said—” Luo Xian prolonged his voice and paused deliberately.
“Forget it, I’ll see for myself!”
Fu Qian couldn't wait a moment and took out the letter.
“Sir, we are free to take matters into our own hands.”
"What?" Fu Qian's hand froze when he opened the letter. He raised his head and looked at Luo Xian in disbelief, "What did you say?"
This time, Luo Xian could no longer suppress his ecstasy, and his voice was already trembling:
“Sir said, we can take matters into our own hands.”
“Really?!”
“When I saw the letter from your husband, I couldn’t believe it.” Luo Xian gestured to the letter in Fu Qian’s hand, “If you don’t believe it, take a look.”
Fu Qian quickly opened the letter. He didn't know if he was too excited. His hands were trembling a little and he almost tore the letter.
He scanned the contents of the letter as fast as he could in his life. When Fu Qian raised his head again, looked at Luo Xian, and stammered:
“Sir, that’s really what you said, all the good things will be left to us...”
"yes!"
“Lingze, try punching me, I’m afraid I’m dreaming again.”
I would never dare to think so in my wildest dreams!
Ever since I followed my husband, my biggest dream is to follow him and fight in all directions.
How could anyone say that he and others were allowed to lead the army alone to attack the city and seize territory for the first time?
"It's not a dream, it's not a dream." Luo Xian didn't seem to have read enough. He took the letter from Fu Qian and wanted to read it again.
Who would have expected that as soon as he got the letter, he would kick Fu Qian into the water.
“Crash!”
The Han River made a huge splash.
Fu Qian turned over instinctively, drawing an arc like white stripes in the waves.
Luo Xian, who was standing at the bow of the boat, laughed loudly:
“Chengzhi, is this a dream?”
After the beginning of spring, although the weather has become warmer, it is not summer after all, and the water is still a little chilly.
But Fu Qian and Luo Xian often swim in winter, so they are not afraid of the chill in the water.
But when he saw Fu Qian plunged hard and floated up again after a while, he also started laughing.
The two of them had laughed enough. Fu Qian climbed out of the water and asked someone to bring dry clothes to change into. The two began to lie on the boat to bask in the sun.
The spring is warm, and Hanzhong is much warmer than Guanzhong. The sun is shining on my body, which is quite comfortable.
“I’ve finally waited for this day.”
"yes!"
“How many years?”
“It’s been many years, right?”
“It’s been many years.”
“What do we do now?”
As soon as this sentence was asked, the two people turned their heads and looked at each other in tacit agreement.
Then he sat up at the same time.
Happiness comes too suddenly, but after the joy, it is followed by tremendous pressure.
Fu Qian scratched his head:
“Sir, don’t you have any arrangements?”
He just took a quick glance at it and hasn't finished reading it yet.
"No."
“No instructions?”
“Just telling us to be careful.”
"that's all?"
"just this."
Silence again.
“Here, Ling Ze, tell me, sir, does he trust us too much?”
Luo Xian nodded and frowned: "Yes, this is no small matter, let alone letting us lead the army alone. We have no experience at all in this kind of marching and fighting."
"Experience..." Fu Qian was thoughtful when he heard Luo Xian's words. "When you say that, I think of a person. He seems to have experience."
As soon as Luo Xian heard this, he immediately reacted.
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Let's go!"
—
It is not only Luo Xian and Fu Qian who feel comfortable in the sun, but also Ma Tian.
At this time, he was lying on a deck chair, half-lidded in his small courtyard.
There is a small stove next to me, with water boiling on it.
Next to the small stove, there is a small case with tea cups and teapots on it.
Drinking spring tea, admiring the spring scenery, and basking in the spring sun, how pleasant it is!
But soon, someone unknowingly ruined Ma Tian's leisurely mood.
“Mr. Ma, Mr. Ma!”
There was a voice outside the courtyard door. Before the voice fell, two figures had already appeared at the door.
Ma Tian sighed and had to stand up. He looked at Luo Xian and Fu Qian, a little impatiently:
"You and the two of you are not training soldiers in the water village. Why are you here?"
“Mr. Ma, we have something to ask you.”
The two young men seemed not to have noticed Ma Tian's expression at all. They found their own stools and sat down next to him, one on the left and one on the right. "I want to ask you something."
“It’s something important.”
“Yes, it is a very important thing.”
Ma Tian rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Say."
This man cannot owe any favors, especially the kind of favors from heaven.
“Mr. Ma, if we lead the army down the river from Hanzhong and capture Shangyong, how do you think the army should arrange this first step?”
“Oh, didn’t I tell you? Now, training good soldiers is your top priority.”
“As for how to march and fight, set up battle formations before battle, capture cities and territories, and plot against enemies and temples, how many people in this world can compare with you, sir?”
"After you have mastered the navy training, are you afraid that you will not have the opportunity to learn these things? I am afraid that you will not be able to learn them..."
"Oh, no, Mr. Ma, our husband has written a letter, asking us to attack Shangyong on our own. We have no experience, so we came here to ask you for advice and want you to help us."
Fu Qian was impatient and couldn't listen to Ma Tian's nagging, so he interrupted him.
Martin choked for a moment:…
The originally lazy posture suddenly sat upright and licked his ears:
"What did you say?"
“We are here to ask you for advice and want you to help us.”
“No, it’s the previous sentence.”
“Sir, let us attack Shangyong on our own.”
“Feng Mingwen asked you to attack Shangyong on your own?”
"right."
Luo Xian and Fu Qian nodded in unison.
Silence.
Martin was silent for a long time, then stood up and continued to think.
Finally he murmured:
“Xiangyang now belongs to the State of Wu, right?”
“Mr. Ma, could it be that he is confused? We helped the Wu people to capture Xiangyang.”
Ma Tian made a calculation, so it is reasonable for the Wu people to take Shangyong after they obtained Xiangyang.
If you don't take it and leave it for the big man to take, it means that Feng must have made some deal with the Wu people.
And if the Wu people wanted to take it, Feng asked his disciples to get it...
Thinking of this, Ma Tian shook his head, it probably wouldn't be the case.
Even though Feng was ruthless, he would not harm his disciples without any reason.
After all, these two people really have little experience in front of the battle, let alone leading the army alone.
Over there in Xiangyang, there is Lu Xun!
But it's hard to say, after all, I and others helped Lu Xun in Xiangyang, plus the Han-Wu Alliance.
In this case, even if the two of them are defeated, they can at most regard it as practicing, and there will probably be no danger.
Thinking like this, Ma Tian looked at the two of them.
The two of them also looked at Martin expectantly.
Ma Tian’s heart suddenly thumped, and his face changed.
He slapped his thigh suddenly, turned towards Chang'an, and cursed:
“Feng Mingwen, you want me to be the nanny for your second son!”
