Chapter 108: You’re so good at pretending, you have to finish it with tears in your eyes(2/3)
finally…
Sun Ru is back.
She brought good news. She used 200,000 hu of grain to win...
"The money and goods will be delivered together in five days. The location will be in a mountain at the intersection of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou."
Sun Ru's words made Lu Xun happy.
He picked up Sun Ru and spun her around in a circle.
——"If you have a wife like this, why worry about my Lu family not being prosperous or the failure of Jiangdong's great cause?"
Sun Ru was much calmer than Lu Xun. "Husband, please don't be too busy to be happy. You should also consider how to transport so much food here."
this…
Lu Xun's eyes were deep, he pondered for a moment, and then said with emotion: "If...if it's food, there's no way. But if it's gold, the Lu family still has a way to transport it."
yes…
As one of the four major families in Wu County, the Lu family not only owns soldiers and horses, but also has officials and titles.
You know, his family's business is spread throughout Soochow.
Along with the change of vassalage three years ago, how could the Lu family not be involved in Jiaozhou's business?
The junction between Jiaozhou and Jingzhou is Jiaozhi. As the seat of Jiaozhou, it is not difficult to allocate a large amount of gold and silver from here, but it just takes time.
"Five days...five days?"
Lu Xun murmured...
Sun Ru also pursed her lips. It seemed that she also realized...even if it wasn't food, it was...not easy to gather so much gold and silver of equal value in such a short time!
"Although the time is a bit tight,... Madam, please promise them, there is no problem on my side!"
Finally, after repeated calculations, Lu Xun said with great certainty.
Sun Ru looked into Lu Xun's eyes...
This was the first time she saw the light in her husband's eyes!
——"Bo Yan really wants to see these weapons!"
…
…
Jingzhou, Xiangyang City.
Finally, Cao Ren waited eagerly for support from Xiangfan.
This is the "immediate combat force" sent by the eldest brother Cao Cao, namely the five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Ren's younger brother Cao Chun!
At the gate of the city, Xiangfan's soldiers lined up to greet him, playing music, and the people gathered around to watch.
No wonder Cao Chun and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry received such courtesy.
The record of this legendary legion is too fierce.
——Zhan Wuhuan and captured the leader;
——Behead Yuan Tan and defeat Zhang Fei;
——Invade Xiliang and defeat Ma Chao...
——When Liu Bei led his people across the river, he defeated his 100,000 soldiers and civilians, severely injuring their vitality.
They even kidnapped Liu Bei's two daughters!
As the saying goes, "Cao Chun marched from Jingzhou, chased Liu Bei at Changban, captured his two daughters' baggage, and collected his scattered soldiers."
There are also miscellaneous records in unofficial history that Cao Chun not only kidnapped his two daughters, but even...married them.
What can I say...Cao Chun is a handsome guy. Liu Bei's two daughters fell in love with Cao Chun after they were captured, and they were both married by Cao Chun.
It’s so bloody!
There are also unofficial records that this was a kind of revenge, because Zhang Fei kidnapped Xia Houyuan's niece and married him as his wife, so Cao Chun married Liu Bei's two daughters.
This is a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unpleasant.
Of course, these bloody plots are the imagination of novelists from all dynasties and generations.
What is even more exaggerated is that Cao Chun's death was caused by Liu Bei's two daughters. It is said that Liu Bei's two daughters pretended to marry Cao Chun, and then through a series of operations, Cao Chun was killed.
So here’s the question?
How to operate?
How to kill him?
——Squeeze it dry, right?
Of course, these are all fabrications!
Writing novels is not about studying history, but about having fun.
There is really no need to be so serious about many things.
Having said that...
In Cao Wei, a 5,000-strong tiger and leopard cavalry regiment led by Cao Chun was once dubbed the legend of "invincible and invincible" because of its fierce performance!
It is no exaggeration to say that this Tiger and Leopard Cavalry...is Cao Cao's Dinghai Shenzhen!
Now, the army has entered the city. Cao Chung is sitting high on his horse. Among the hundreds of officials in front of him, he sees his brother Cao Ren.
Cao Ren smiled and said, "Is Zihe here?"
However, I saw that Cao Chun did not stand up, but maintained a domineering arrogance, and his tone was not modest.
"Brother, it has been hard work guarding Xiangfan all these years, but why did Zhou Yu and Guan Yu have to force them to retreat and lose Nanjun?"
"The Prime Minister always said that my brother is good at attacking, and he is the best at attacking fortresses among the descendants of my Cao Wei clan. But over the past few years, my brother has lost his ability to attack fortresses, right? He has learned the skill of shrinking, haha, and defended Xiangfan.
, let Guan Yunchang make mistakes?"
this…
What Cao Chun said was very rude.
Of course, he was always rude to Cao Ren.
To elaborate on this matter would be a long story.
Although Cao Chun and Cao Ren are half-brothers, but... just like in every big family, the relationship between the eldest son and the youngest son is so subtle that they "want to kill each other"...
The relationship between Cao Chun and Cao Ren is not that harmonious.
Looking further back, in the generation of Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, the Cao family produced three remarkable figures.
In addition to Cao Song, who became Da Honglu, Da Sinong, and Taiwei, Cao Chi served as a servant, Cao Ding served as the prefect of Wu County, and the minister...
Among them, the father of Cao Ren and Cao Chun is Cao Chi.
In Cao Chi's lineage, Cao Ren is the eldest son, and Cao Chun is the legitimate son...
According to the rules, Cao Chun is the one who inherits the family. As the saying goes - "Chun inherited his father's business, is rich, has hundreds of servants and guests."
But Cao Ren was worse.
——"The young man was good at hunting with bows and horses. Later, heroes and heroes arose together, and benevolence and yin combined with the young man. He gained more than a thousand people and traveled around the Huaihe River and Si."
This means that as a concubine, Cao Ren had nothing and was not well-liked by others in the family. When the heroes gathered together, he took a group of people and went out to wander around...
Not to mention, he really made his mark, and his personal bravery and general strategy have made great progress.
He became the most adept general in the Cao Wei clan.
But individuals are individuals, and ancient battlefields focused on regimental combat.
Compared with Cao Ren's bravery and military strategy, Cao Chun's "family property" was more important to the early Cao Cao!
When Cao Chun defected to Cao Cao, he was "bringing capital into the group", so Cao Cao assigned him the most elite soldiers.
Cao Chun was not short of money, so...these soldiers were equipped with the best weapons, armor, and horses.
Over and over again, this is the prototype of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
Among them, the Tiger Cavalry is a "heavy armored cavalry", and the equipment on his body is full of the smell of money.
The Leopard Cavalry is a "light armored cavalry", similar to Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi Cong, mainly riding and shooting...
Although the Leopard Cavalry is not as expensive as the Tiger Cavalry, compared with other cavalry, the price is still not measurable.
After all, as Cao Chun, the legitimate son and the orthodox descendant of Cao Chi's lineage, when facing the concubine Cao Ren, the "arrogance" in his bones spontaneously emerged.
You wouldn't be so polite when talking to him.
"Zihe, you must never underestimate your enemy!" Cao Ren was not angry.
It seems that he knows this younger brother's temperament and is used to it.
To be continued...
