Chapter 35 Chapter 34 Mrs. Cai listened to the secret language through the screen

But Cao Cao dug up a bronze sparrow in the golden light, and asked Xun You, "What is the sign of this?"You said: In the past, Shun's mother dreamed of a jade sparrow and gave birth to Shun.It is also an auspicious sign to get a bronze sparrow today.Cao was overjoyed, so he ordered to build a high platform to celebrate.In the next day, the ground was broken and the trees were broken, tiles were fired and bricks were ground, and the bronze sparrow terrace was built on the Zhanghe River.It took about a year to complete the work.Cao Zhijin, the youngest son, said: If a platform is built, there must be three towers: the taller one in the middle is called Tongque; the one on the left is called Yulong; the one on the right is called Jinfeng.It is even more spectacular to build two flying bridges and go up across the sky.Cao said, "My son's words are very good."The success of Taiwan in the future is enough to entertain me when I am old!It turned out that Cao Cao had five sons, but Zhi Zhi was sensitive, intelligent, and good at writing, and Cao Cao loved him the most.So Cao Zhi and Cao Pi were left to build a platform in Ye County, and Zhang Yan was sent to guard the North Village.General Cao received five or six hundred thousand Yuan Shao's soldiers, and his troops returned to Xudu, where he was honored as a meritorious official. He also presented Guo Jia as Marquis of Zhen and raised his son Yi in the mansion.Then they gathered all the counselors to discuss, and wanted to conquer Liu Biao in the south.Xun Yu said: "The army has returned from the northern expedition, but it has not been able to move again."Let's wait for half a year to recharge our batteries, Liu Biao and Sun Quan can go down at once.Cao followed it, so he divided his troops and garrisoned the fields, waiting to be called.

But Liu Biao has treated Xuande very kindly since he came to Jingzhou.One day, when they were gathering for a drink, it was reported that the surrendered generals Zhang Wu and Chen Sun had plundered the people in Jiangxia and conspired to rebel.Biao was startled and said: "The two thieves turned against each other again. It's a big disaster!"Xuande said: "I don't need to worry about my brother, please go and ask for it."Biao was overjoyed, ordered 30,000 troops, and went with Xuande.Xuande took the order to walk, and within a day, he came to Jiangxia.Zhang Wu and Chen Sun led troops to meet them.Xuande and Guan, Zhang, and Zhao Yun are under the banner of the sect.I saw that the horse Zhang Wu was riding was extremely majestic.Xuande said: This must be a thousand-mile horse.Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yun drew out his gun and rushed straight to the other side.Zhang Wu came to meet him with his horse, but Zhao Yun stabbed him off his horse. He grabbed the bridle and led the horse back to the formation.When Chen sun saw it, he rushed to seize it.Zhang Fei gave a loud shout, and thrust out his spear, stabbing Chen Sun to death.Everyone collapsed.Xuande recruited the rest of the party to pacify the counties in Jiangxia, and the class returned home.Biao Guo welcomes him into the city and holds a banquet to celebrate his achievements.When the wine was half drunk, he said: "My brother is so talented, and Jingzhou can rely on him."But worry about South Vietnam coming from time to time; Zhang Lu and Sun Quan are all worried.Xuande said: "My brother has three generals, who can be entrusted: Zhang Fei patrols the territory of South Vietnam; Yunchang rejects Guzicheng to suppress Zhanglu;I am happy, and I want to follow my words.Cai Mao told his sister, Mrs. Cai, that Liu Bei sent three generals to live abroad, but he lived in Jingzhou himself.Mrs. Cai said to Liu Biao at night: I heard that many people in Jingzhou communicate with Liu Bei, so we must guard against it.It is useless to let him live in the city now, it is better to send him there.Biao said: Xuande is also a benevolent man.Cai said: I am only afraid that others will not be like your heart.The table pondered and did not answer.

When I went out of the city the next day, I saw the extremely handsome horse Xuande was riding on. I asked him and found out that it was Zhang Wu's horse, and I praised him very much.Xuande then sent the horse to Liu Biao.Biao was overjoyed and rode back to the city.Kuai asked about it when he saw it.Biao said: This is also a gift from Xuande.Yue said: "In the past, my elder brother Kuai Liang was the best at looking after horses; Yue also knew it well."This horse has tear troughs under its eyes and white spots on its forehead. It is named Lu, and riding on it will hinder the master.Zhang Wu died for this horse.The lord can't take advantage of it.Listen to what he says.The next day, Xuande was invited to a banquet, because he said: "I am deeply grateful for accepting Huiliang horse yesterday."But the younger brother can use it from time to time.Respectfully send it back.Xuande thanks.Biao said again: "Your brother has lived here for a long time, and he is afraid of abolishing military affairs."Xiangyang belongs to Xinye County, which is rich in food and money.My brother can lead the army and horses of our department to Tunza in this county, how about it?Xuande takes the promise.The next day, I thanked Liu Biao and led the army and horses of the headquarters to Xinye.When I left the city gate, I saw a man bowing in front of the horse and saying: "The public is riding a horse, you can't ride it."Xuande regards it as a native of Jingzhou's minister Yi, with the word Jibo, and a native of Shanyang.Xuande got off his horse and asked.The book said: Yesterday I heard that Kuai Yidu said to Liu Jingzhou: This horse is named Lu, if you ride it, it will hinder the master.So it's fair.How can the public take advantage of it again?Xuande said: I deeply feel that Mr. sees love.But mortals have life and death, how can horses do anything to hinder it!Since then, he has been in constant communication with Xuande, following his great opinion.

Since Xuande came to Xinye, both the army and the people are happy, and the politics have changed.In the spring of the twelfth year of Jian'an, Mrs. Gan gave birth to Liu Chan.That night, a white crane flew over to the county government house, blew more than forty times, and flew westward.When she was about to give birth, the room was filled with a strange fragrance.Mrs. Gan tasted the night dream and swallowed the Big Dipper, so she became pregnant, so she was named A Dou.At this time, Cao Cao's orthodox army marched north.Xuande then went to Jingzhou and said to Liu Biao: "Now that Cao Cao has learned about the northern expedition, Xuchang is empty. If you use Jingxiang's people to attack it in the meantime, great things will happen."Biao said: "It is enough for me to occupy the nine counties. How can I not plan?"Xuande was silent.The table invites you to drink in the back hall.When the wine was half drunk, Biao suddenly sighed.Xuande said, "Why do you sigh so much, brother?"Biao said: I have something on my mind, and it's not easy to say it clearly.When Xuande wanted to ask again, Mrs. Cai came out behind the screen.Liu Biao lowered his head and remained silent.After a while, Xuande returned to Xinye.

In the winter of that year, when Xuande heard that Cao Cao had returned from Liucheng, Xuande sighed that he didn't need to say anything.Suddenly one day, Liu Biao sent an envoy to invite Xuande to Jingzhou to meet him.Xuande followed the envoy.Liu Biao went on, and after the ceremony, please go to the back hall for a banquet; because Xuande said: "I have heard that Cao Cao brought his troops back to Xudu, and his power is getting stronger every day. He must have the heart to annex Jingxiang. He regretted not listening to the words of his good brother in the past. Miss this great opportunity!Xuande said: "If the world is divided today, and the day of fighting will start, will the opportunities be exhausted?"If you can respond to it later, it is not enough to hate.Biao said: "My brother's words are very appropriate."Drink with each other.The wine was full of wine, and the watch suddenly burst into tears.Xuande asked why.Biao said: "I have something on my mind. The former wanted to sue my virtuous brother, but he didn't get it."Xuande said, "what's the matter, brother?"If it is useful for my younger brother, even if my younger brother dies, I will not give up.Biao said: Qi, the eldest son of his ex-wife Chen, is a virtuous man, but weak and cowardly.If I want to abolish the elder and establish the younger, I am afraid that it will hinder the etiquette and law; if I want to establish the eldest son, I will fight for the Nai Cai clan, all of whom are in charge of military affairs, and there will be chaos in the future: therefore, the commission will never be lowered.Xuande said: Since ancient times, the elders have been abolished and the younger established, and the way of chaos has been adopted.If you are worried about the power of the Cai family, you can cut it down slowly, and you can't pamper and set up a young son.The table is silent.

It turned out that Mrs. Cai had always doubted Xuande, and whenever she met Xuande and Biao, she would come to eavesdrop: it was at that time that she was behind the screen, and when she heard Xuande's words, she hated her very much.Xuande knew that he had lost his words, so he got up to go to the toilet.Seeing the resurrection of my body and flesh, I don't feel like weeping.After a while, he returned to the seat.It is strange to ask Xuande to see tears.Xuande sighed and said: "Before, if you never leave your saddle, your thighs and flesh will be scattered; if you don't ride for a long time now, your thighs will be raw."The sun and the moon are wasted, the veteran is at the end, but the achievements are not built: so sad!The watch said: I heard that my virtuous brother was in Xuchang, cooking wine with cao cao and discussing heroes;With Cao Cao's power, I still dare not be ahead of my younger brother, so why worry about not making achievements?Taking advantage of the wine, Xuande blurted out his answer and said: If there is a foundation for preparation, the mediocre people in the world really don't need to worry about it.Table heard the words silent.Knowing that he was aphasia, Xuande got up drunk and returned to the library to rest. Later generations praised Xuande in poems:

Cao Gong counted from the beginning: the hero of the world is the only envoy.The resurrection of the flesh still sighs, is there no third point in the world? But when Liu Biao heard Xuande, although he didn't speak a word, he didn't have enough heart, so he said goodbye to Xuande and retreated into the inner house.Mrs. Cai said: "I heard Liu Bei's words behind the screen, and I underestimated him, which shows that he intends to annex Jingzhou."If it is not removed now, it will be a future trouble.He didn't answer, but just shook his head.The Cai family secretly summoned Cai Mao to discuss this matter.Mao said: "Please kill him in the building first, and then tell the lord."Cai said what he said.When Mao came out, he ordered the army overnight.

But Xuande was sitting in the library building holding a candle, and Fang wanted to go to bed after the third watch.Suddenly a person knocked on the door and entered, and he regarded it as Yiji: it turned out that Yiji found out that Cai Mao wanted to harm Xuande, so he came to report at night.At present, Yiji reported Cai Mao's plan to Xuande and urged Xuande to get up quickly.Xuande said: "How can I go without saying goodbye to Jingsheng?"The book said: If the public resigns, he will be harmed by Cai Mao.Xuande thanked Yiji and called for his followers to mount their horses together.Don't wait for dawn, run back to Xinye in the starry night.When Cai Mao led the army to the building, Xuande had gone far.Mao felt remorse, so he wrote a poem on the wall, went in and saw the watch, and said: Liu Bei had the intention of rebellion, so he wrote the anti-poem on the wall, and left without saying goodbye.If you don't believe it, you can see it in person at the library, and there are four lines of poetry.The poem says:

For several years, I have stayed in poverty, facing the old mountains and rivers in the air.The dragon is not a thing in the pond, it rides the thunder and wants to go to the sky! Liu Biao was furious when he saw the poem, drew his sword and said, "I swear to kill this unrighteous person!"After walking for a few steps, he said fiercely: "I have been with Xuande for a long time, but I have never seen him compose a poem: this must be a plan of alienation."Then he went back into the building, cut off the poem with the tip of his sword, abandoned the sword and got on his horse.Cai Mao said: "The sergeant has been ordered, so go to Xinye to capture Liu Bei."The watch said: "No mistake can be made, let Xu figure it out."Cai Mao was hesitant when he saw the table, so he secretly discussed with Mrs. Cai: on that day, all the officials will be in Xiangyang, and they will plan there.The next day, Mao reported to the Biao, saying: "It has been ripe in recent years, so I gathered all the officials in Xiangyang to express my comfort."My lord, please.Biao said: "I have been suffering from qi disease recently, so I really can't do it."The second son can be made to host guests.Mao said: "Young master is young, I'm afraid I will lose my etiquette."The watch said: "You can go to Xinye to invite Xuande to treat you."Mao secretly rejoiced that he had hit the mark, so he sent someone to invite Xuande to Xiangyang.

But Xuande ran back to Xinye, knowing that he had made a mistake and brought disaster, so he didn't tell everyone.Suddenly the envoy arrives, please go to Xiangyang.Sun Qian said: "I was very unhappy when I saw my lord come back in a hurry yesterday."If you are stupid, there will be accidents in Jingzhou.Please go to the meeting today, don't go lightly.Xuande told everyone about the previous matter.Yun Chang said: "Brother, I suspect that my words are lost."Liu Jingzhou didn't intend to be angry.The words of outsiders should not be trusted.Xiangyang is not far from here, if you don't go, then Jingzhou will be suspicious.Xuande said: "Yun Chang's words are true."Zhang Fei said: "There is no good feast for a feast, and there is no good meeting for a meeting. It is better to give up."Zhao Yun said: "A certain general and horse infantry will go with 300 people, so that the Lord will be safe."Xuande said: "It's very good."

Then he went to Xiangyang with Zhao Yunxi.Cai Mao came out of Guo to greet him, very modestly.Then the two sons Liu Qi and Liu Cong led a group of civil and military bureaucrats to welcome them.Seeing that the two young masters were both present, Xuande was not suspicious.On that day, Xuande was invited to rest in the library building.Zhao Yun led three hundred troops to surround and protect.Yun wears armor and hangs a sword, and he can't leave his left and right when he walks and sits.Liu Qi told Xuande: "Father is sick with anger and can't move. I specially invite my uncle to entertain guests and comfort the shepherd officials everywhere."Xuande said: "I didn't dare to do this; I have my brother's order, so I dare not disobey."The next day, people reported that officials from nine counties and forty-two prefectures had arrived.Cai Mao asked Kuai Yue to make a plan in advance, saying: "Liu Beishi's hero will stay here for a long time, and he will do harm later: he can be eliminated today."Yue said: I am afraid that I will lose the hope of the scholars and the people.Mao said: "I have secretly received Liu Jingzhou's words here."Yue said: If this is the case, you can make preparations in advance.Mao said: "My younger brother Cai He and his army have been guarded on the Xianshan road at the east gate; Cai Zhong has been guarded outside the south gate; Cai Xun has been guarded outside the north gate."There is no need to guard the west gate, and there is Tanxi in front of it. Although there are tens of thousands of people, it is not easy to pass.Yue said: "I see that Zhao Yunxing can't leave Xuande, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it."Mao said: "I will lay down five hundred troops to prepare in the city."Yue said: "You can ask Wenpin and Wang Wei to set up another seat in the outer hall to wait for the generals."Please stay with Zhao Yun first, and then you can do something.Mao follows his words.On that day, cattle and horses were slaughtered, and a feast was held.Xuande rides Luma to the state government office, and is ordered to be brought into the back garden.All the officials came to the hall.Chairman Xuande, the two young masters sit on both sides, and the rest sit in turn.Zhao Yun stood beside Xuande with his sword.Wenpin and Wang Wei invited Zhao Yun to the meeting.Yun refused to go.Xuande ordered Yun to sit at the table, but Yun reluctantly came out.Cai Mao packed up like an iron bucket outside, brought Xuande with 300 troops, and sent them all back to the library.After drinking for three rounds, Yiji took up a cup, went to Xuande, looked at Xuande, and said in a low voice: "Please change clothes."Xuande understood and got up to go to the toilet.After Yiji finished the lamp, he rushed into the back garden, followed by Xuande, and reported with his ear: Cai Mao designed to harm the king, and there are military guards in the east, south and north of the city.But Ximen can go, the public should flee quickly!Xuande was shocked, and Luma, who was in a hurry, opened the back garden gate and pulled it out. He flew on the horse, ignored the followers, and looked at the west gate and walked away.When the doorman asked, Xuande didn't answer, but went out with a whip.The gatekeepers could not help but report to Cai Mao.Mao Xi got on his horse and led five hundred troops to chase after him. But Xuande knocked out of the west gate and traveled countless miles. There was a big stream in front of him, blocking his way.The Tanxi River is several feet wide, and the water flows through the Xiangjiang River, and its waves are very tight.When Xuande went to the stream, he saw that it was impossible to cross, so he reined in his horse and went back. Looking at the dust in the west of the city, the pursuers were approaching.Xuande said, "I'm dead now!"Then he returned to the horse and went to the stream.When I looked back, the pursuers were approaching.Xuande panicked and rode his horse down the stream.After walking a few steps, the horse's front hooves suddenly sank, soaking his robe.Xuande whipped his whip and shouted, "Dear Lu!"Lou!Hurt me today!After saying that, the horse suddenly sprang up from the water, jumped three feet, and flew to the west bank.Xuande is like rising from the clouds.Later, Su Xueshi had an ancient style, chanting only the story of leaping horses and Tanxi.The poem says: When I grow old, the flowers are dying and the spring is at dusk, and the official travels to Tanxi Road by chance; I stop and look at the distance and wander alone, and there are red catkins falling in front of my eyes; In danger; fleeing alone out of the west gate, the pursuers will come back; the river is full of smoke and water, and the horses are eager to jump forward; the horse's hoof smashes the glass, and the golden whip is waving at the sound of the wind; Qianqi left, and suddenly saw two dragons flying in the waves: Xichuan dominates the real hero, and the two dragons and horses meet when they sit down.The Tanxi stream flows from the east, where is the hero of the dragon horse now!Lin Liu sighed three times and felt sore, the setting sun silently illuminated the empty mountain; three tripod feet were like a dream, leaving no trace in the world. Xuande jumped across the west bank of the stream and looked at the east bank.Cai Mao has led the army to the stream and shouted: "Why did the envoy escape from the banquet?"Xuande said: I have no relationship with you, so why do you want to harm each other?Mao said, "I don't have such a heart."So that you don't listen to people's words.Xuande saw that Mao was about to pick up the bow and take the arrow, so he hurriedly rode his horse and looked southwest.Mao called left and right and said: "What kind of god is helping?"Fang wanted to take his army back to the city, but Zhao Yun led three hundred troops to the west gate.It is exactly: leaping to the dragon colt can save the Lord, but chasing the tiger will kill you.I don't know how Cai Mao's life is, and let's listen to the breakdown below.
