Chapter 3400
Jizhou.
Cui Yan probably hasn't seen Fei Qian before.
Even if he had seen it, he forgot it.
But he has heard too much in the past few years...
Maybe I have seen it, but Cui Yan can't remember it.
When he reaches his position, it is often because others have to work hard to remember him, not because he works hard to remember others. There are actually not many people who can be worthy of his memory, but Fei Qian now should be one of them no matter what.
Originally, Cui Yan thought it would take a long time to see Fei Qian, but the current situation seemed to be...
"Troubled times..."
Cui Yan was filled with emotion.
The troubled times make the prince dominate the world!
If it were in a peaceful and prosperous era and the revival of the Han Dynasty, where would the poor families like Fei Qian be able to make a comeback?
A person like Fei Qian was just a lackey of a prominent family at that time. He came and left as soon as he called him!
But now...
Cui Yan sighed long.
On the table behind him, there were a few words he had just written, "The one who replaced the Han Dynasty, Dang Tu Gao."
Now, it seems that a prophecy has come true.
"Hmph." Cui Yan remembered Yuan Shu before.
Yuan Shu thought there was a "way" in his name, which could be related to "Tu Gao"?
In the past, Cui Yan couldn't figure out what this "Tu Gao" meant, but now he gradually understood.
Pao, the way.
High, respectful.
Combined, it is actually a tall enemy that appears on the distant road...
The land of Guanzhong is high.
If a person rides on a horse, he will naturally become taller.
Is this a coincidence, or is it really predictable?
Cui Yan hasn't thought it through yet.
He just knew that there are many families in Jizhou now, who have many inexplicable relationships with Na Feiqian.
Now that Cao Cao's defeat has come, he is completely confused.
It’s not that he is so loyal to Cao Cao and is worried about Cao Cao, but for himself and for his own family.
He pondered and went to Cui Lin to pay homage.
"Don't your brother think something is strange about the emperor's edict?" Cui Lin sat down and whispered.
"Strange?" Cui Yan repeated.
'That's true.' Cui Lin frowned and said, 'As soon as Prime Minister Cao showed his defeat, the imperial edict was taken out. Let Jiangdong Lu Zijing go to Wuguan and Liu Ziyang go to Youzhou... Brother, look, you go south and north, you can go directly to He Luo, hey! He just won't leave...'
『Hmm…』 Cui Yan nodded, 『What can you find out about the content of the edict?』
Logically speaking, the emperor gave Fei Qian the imperial edict, so no one could know it. However, in Shandong, rules are rules, but they are just rules. If there are rules, they don’t do them, or pretend not to know the rules, and rules other than rules are actually a normal situation in Shandong.
There are too many sensible Shandong people who know when to speak and when to shut up.
Cui Lin took out a roll of silk cloth from his sleeve.
Cui Yan took it, spread it out, and squinted his eyes and started to look.
"hehe……"
After reading it, Cui Yan smiled and threw the silk cloth of the edict on the table.
Cui Lin followed the manuscript and saw the words on the table...
"Brother, what you wrote is..." Cui Lin couldn't help asking.
"Oh, suddenly I remembered that I just wrote it casually." Cui Yan did not deliberately hide it, but typed the six words, "What do you think of this sentence?"
What do you think?
Look upside down!
The reason is that the Chinese characters themselves are very recognizable. They look horizontally and vertically and upside down, or even indistinctly. As long as they are familiar with the system of this language, their brains will automatically correct them. It can be said that there are quite a lot of treasures left by the ancestors, and most of them are just for the children of later generations.
This sentence has been entangled with the man for a long time.
This may be just a feeling, or it may be just a drunken word, or it may be nothing, but who said this sentence, so it is different.
If it is just an ordinary Han people and ordinary people say it, then even if it says it thousands of times, it will be useless.
But it was what Emperor Wu of Han said...
It's like in a big company, where ordinary employees gather together and mutter that they are going to lay off employees, reducing employees and increasing efficiency, but no matter how much they say, it's useless. But if one day the boss of the company sighed at a meeting, "The economy is in a recession now..."
Then the middle and senior managers of the company immediately became nervous, looked at each other, speculated, and calculated who was the next scapegoat, who was the next scapegoat, and who would be kicked out first...
Maybe the boss didn't want to lay off employees at first, but then he heard, "Oh, everyone said they wanted to lay off employees, okay, then lay off employees, and try to see if it works..."
Cui Yan also asked casually.
But Cui Lin had to think a lot.
Is this going to be a cavalry?
By the way, Cui Yan will definitely know more about the news. Could it be that Cao Cao is far worse and more troublesome than what he knows on the surface? But how did Cui Yan's news come from? Oh, I understand. The Cui family also pays the transportation of food and grass. Among the people who transport food and grass, there must be Cui Yan's suspicion, and they must have received information.
Or, Cui Yan has contacted Fei Qian's people? It is not impossible. After all, Wei Yan had a fuss about Jizhou before, and it would be unreasonable to say that Cui Yan didn't know at all.
Even...
Has the agreement been made? Are you going to use this sentence to fight the front station for the cavalry?
There is nothing strange about this, after all, people have to eat...
What's more, Cui Yan is not just a single person, but a whole family, and everyone in the family wants to eat.
But these are all speculations, and there is no sufficient evidence yet, and Cui Lin cannot infer Cui Yan's specific thoughts.
Cui Yan glanced at Cui Lin.
Cui Lin realized that he had been thinking for too long, so he hurriedly said, "Brother, I really have no research on this prophecy technique... I was distracted just now, but I remembered another thing before... I still remembered the rumors that Prime Minister Cao had entered Guanzhong before, and was slow and motionless. On the surface, he said he was seeking peace, but in fact he was timid and avoiding war. Do you want to make peace with the cavalry?"
"How long has it been..." Cui Yan subconsciously responded for half a sentence, and then got stuck.
The saying "The Han Dynasty was the one who replaced Tu Gao" is no longer than the previous rumors that Cao Cao was afraid to make peace. But now it seems to have become a sign, and then the rumors that Cao Cao, who was in Shandong before, did not seek war, but for peace, seemed to have not been long?
Cui Yan looked at Cui Lin and nodded, "I never thought that you are so meticulous... good, good..."
"It's all the elder brother who has good guidance." Cui Lin hurriedly bowed.
Cui Yan smiled, his pupils slightly opened, he thought for a moment and then clenched his high fives and said, "Yes! That's it! Otherwise, Prime Minister Cao would have led the army, and the food and grass were gone, but he would have fought so miserably? It turns out that there were signs of this matter!"
Cui Lin also felt a little emotional. He originally thought that the sentence "Agent Han" was difficult to say or explain, so he thought of something else to make excuses, but he didn't expect that he really hit the point?!
What can this say?
As expected, people are forced out. If you don’t force yourself, you won’t know how strong your ability is?
A bronze crane in a corner of the house shrank one leg, and blue smoke emerged from the belly of the bronze crane, spreading upward along the carved texture...
Cui Yan seemed to be like a crane, shrank one leg and thought quietly.
Cui Lin didn't dare to disturb Cui Yan's thinking, so he could only look here and there.
"wrong!"
Cui Yan suddenly opened his eyes.
Cui Lin was so scared that she almost lay down and said that she was just talking nonsense. Brother Don’t get angry. Before she could say anything, she heard Cui Yan continue to say, “This is wrong! Prime Minister Cao… what can I get?”
"Ah? What?" Cui Lin responded subconsciously.
『Unless…』 Cui Yan squinted his eyes and said, 『Unless Prime Minister Cao... from the beginning, he didn't think about how to win, but was thinking about how to lose!』
"What? This, this is impossible!" Cui Lin glared.
Cui Yan still squinted his eyes and twisted his whiskers, and did not explain in detail to Cui Lin.
『But those men, money and food…』 Cui Lin couldn't believe it, 『This man died, but he couldn't be resurrected. He was consumed and he was gone, so how could it be... how could it be possible?』
『Well…』 Cui Yan nodded, 『If it were more accurate, Prime Minister Cao should have made preparations... But, now that things are like this, how can he let everything go as he wishes?"
『Brother...you mean...』
Cui Yan said slowly: "I think... the rumor must be spread before it can be called a rumor. If it is not spread, it will take too long for others to forget it, right? What do you think?"
...
...
I don’t know when it started or where it spread out. Anyway, many people now associate Cao Cao and Fei Qian together, saying that these two people didn’t actually fight seriously!
Fake war, real acting!
As for whom to show it...
hehe.
Shandong does not like Fei Qian, which is an obvious thing, but now this person's name is mentioned and heard again and again.
It makes people in Shandong unable to let go.
Like a thorn in the throat.
Fei Qian.
Fei Qian...
"The reason why this Fei Cavalry was able to launch troops to attack Youzhou in time and step on Yanshan when Prime Minister Cao showed his defeat was to launch troops and attack Yanshan, which shows that this son had already planned. In other words, before he defeated Prime Minister Cao, he had already expected... Prime Minister Cao would be defeated."
When the black shadow spoke, when he said this, he might have thought it was absurd, so he stopped talking.
For them, it is not easy to be able to achieve the present without the perspective of God or keyboard, and it is still worthy of recognition. But the problem is also here. Because the information they get is incomplete and their three views on the problem are not sound, they are easily led to the wrong path.
This is a small room, with only a lonely lamp in the room, which cannot be illuminated at all, making it only have one outline for both people and objects.
Another black shadow sighed in a low voice: "I heard... Prime Minister Cao was intentionally defeated? Everyone... do you really think this is possible?"
"How is this possible?! How long has this rumor been? Didn't it be that the rumors have been refuted long ago?"
The black shadow who spoke before coughed, "Ha, refute the rumors. You have one, who really believes in the government's notice? And... don't you think this is too coincidental? If it weren't for the advance arrangement, how could it be just right, neither too late? You should know how far it is from Guanzhong to Youzhou?"
Everyone fell silent.
Sometimes, not everything has an answer, but the question is that some people just need an answer.
Or the answer they are willing to accept.
Although Cao Cao led the troops, this time, Shandong was defeated...
Since it is a failure, there must be someone who will take the blame.
The emperor is generally not responsible. After all, everyone knows what the emperor Liu Xie is now.
Then the emperor is right, who will be wrong?
If it wasn't Cao Cao's fault, could it be the fault of everyone present?
"Everyone knows that Prime Minister Cao has always been to appoint a confidant and trusted person..."
"It's a fact to be nepotist."
"I don't know that Prime Minister Cao wants to do so many positions..."
"Could it be..."
Everyone was silent.
There are some things that cannot be associated with. There is nothing at all, but if you think about them too much, there will be problems.
If it were said earlier that Cao Cao would make peace with Fei Qian, everyone would treat it as a joke after hearing it, but now this joke is getting less and less funny, and even a little scary...
If Cao Cao really joins forces with Fei Qian to cut off the big man and divide things, then...
"No, no, this doesn't make sense... Think about it, if Prime Minister Cao is really for... why should he fight this battle?! I'm not defending Prime Minister Cao, I just can't figure out what good is this loss for Prime Minister Cao?"
"The benefits? Do you need to say more? It turns out that some people don't listen to Prime Minister Cao, why? Isn't it just that there are money and food? Now, if you lose a fight, you will lose someone else, and the Cao family will lose it! Believe it or not, the remaining money will be lost with all the money and food workers, and they will be damaged by the battle, and even the money can be left!"
"Prime Minister Cao...it shouldn't be like this..."
『Hehe, hum.』
"I heard that Prime Minister Cao's subordinates also had Cao's sons killed in battle? How could he lose on purpose?"
"You heard that? I heard that Xiahou Yuanrang was a guest under the command of the cavalry?! So what do you say?"
"this……"
The dark shadows gathered together, discussed and refuted each other, but they did not unite each other, and united each other...
Share the same hatred of the enemy?
What does not exist is the truth only if you share the benefits.
The reason is very simple. Now that Cao Cao has failed, there will inevitably be some power vacuum, and who will fill it?
As for the cavalry, that is a future matter, and the immediate benefits cannot be let go!
Regardless of whether Cao Cao really colluded with Fei Qian, it doesn't matter. It's like "seeking trouble for trouble", just a guaranteed person who can put everything in it. As for whether it is in line with it, or whether there is a more appropriate crime, people in Shandong are not so concerned about it...
Because what they "care about" is not at this point.
After discussing for a long time, the black shadows still failed to discuss a more effective specific steps and response strategies, but they only came up with a common "attitude" -
Regardless of the authenticity of the peace between Cao Cao and Fei Qian, no matter what happens, Cao Cao will resign no matter what!
As the Prime Minister, Cao Cao must not be allowed to continue to occupy the position of prime minister!
As long as Cao Cao takes one step back, he will take ten steps and hundreds of steps in the future!
Then...
It is not too late to worry about this "peace" matter!
...
...
Jiangling.
The soldiers from Jiangdong carried supplies up and down to the warships, walked pedals from the shore to the cabin, and then returned from the cabin to the shore.
Although most people choose to walk on the dry ground, after all, when the boats are in the water, people will always step on some puddles, forming one after another, a series of footprints.
As more and more people step on these footprints, they gathered from scattered footprints into a trace.
It was like a trace of blood.
Zhou Yu sat on the boat, wearing a fur.
The call for "anti-war" in Jiangdong gradually rose...
It has even affected this place.
Even Zhou Yu is in charge.
The autumn wind is cold, and the river wind is even colder.
But the coldest thing is the hearts of the people.
Those guys in Jiangdong claim to be very smart, but they don’t know that they are actually so simple that they are like fools. As long as they put their interests on top, they will win everything...
The reason why these guys are unwilling to continue fighting is mostly because they want to stop when they see the better.
That’s right, the little bit of oil and water in Jiangling made these guys feel that it’s OK…
As for the injuries and deaths in Jiangdong, they were all soldiers and civilians. For these gentry children in Jiangdong, these were all cheap people, like grass, and were not worth mentioning at all.
The Jiangdong gentry just needed capital, but it was just a consistent speculation.
Human capital, material capital, and even boastful capital.
This is speculation, that is speculation.
As for the future...
Haha, they think what they have is the future.
Zhou Yu is undoubtedly lonely, he is also speculating, but he is not just speculating.
No one can understand him.
Perhaps Zhou Yu was the first to notice Fei Qian's threat in Jiangdong and had always believed in the unwavering person.
Lu Su is half.
Lu Su didn't completely believe that Fei Qian's threat was that great, it was just Zhou Yu said so, so Lu Su did what Zhou Yu said. As for Sun Quan, it was not even half.
But if Zhou Yu put forward the facts and reasoned, and used some specific things to explain the harm of Fei Qian, Zhou Yu would not be able to do it for the time being, because after all, Fei Qian is in Guanzhong and is still quite far from Jiangdong.
But this distance...
Perhaps it is really not as big as those short-sighted people in Jiangdong imagined.
Zhou Yu's eyes saw a walking boat coming from the distant river...
The walking boat that was walking down the river paddled like flying. When it got closer, Zhou Yu saw the anxious face of the scout who went out to detect the scout, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Sure enough, the scout reported that he discovered the navy of the cavalry, Sichuan and Shu, and was heading towards Jiangling.
『The leader…』 Zhou Yu asked, 『Is it still Xu?』
The scout replied, "That's right. But... on the side of Xu's flag, there are Gan's flags and Zhuge's flags..."
