Chapter 478: Is it normal to write a letter to Cao Cao and greet my wife? [Asking for monthly tickets]
“Marquis Wen has taken a lot of trouble to prepare so many dishes.”
When he came to the hall, Zhang Daoling saw that on the round table in the middle, there were twenty or thirty dishes densely arranged. , there are also many dishes and various dipping sauces on the table next to it. I regret not bringing Xuandu with me.
If Senior Brother Daomen sees these delicacies, he will probably be so excited that his eyes will shine, right?
Seeing that Sima Lang was a little confused, Xu Rong took the initiative to introduce:
"This is a hot pot. We often have dinner together, especially in winter. Everyone sits together, chatting and eating hot dishes. It is very comfortable."
Sima Lang bowed and whispered Asked:
"May I ask Prefect Xu, who is this immortal?"
"He is Taoist Zhang Daoling and Zhang Tianshi. He used to serve in the Heavenly Court, but now he has been transferred to the Empress Nuwa. Bian... The Holy Son he just mentioned is the son of Empress Nuwa. He runs a B&B in another world. Marquis Wen often goes there, and he is like the Holy Son's brother."
Sima Lang:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Did I drink fake wine today?
I can understand these words separately, but when put together, why do they sound so wrong?
Zhong Yao, the governor of Sizhou, took a small porcelain bowl and took the initiative to help Lao Zhang prepare the dipping sauce:
"Tianshi, do you want sesame sauce or sesame oil dipping sauce?"
" For sesame sauce, put some red fermented bean curd, chive flower sauce and chili oil... As the governor, Yuan Chang should not always miss the flowers. It’s time to set an example and learn from others.”
Zhong Yao's face turned red and he quickly saluted:
"Thank you to Heavenly Master for your teachings. Yao will definitely cultivate his moral character and keep himself clean in the future."
"There is no need to be so polite. You have high talent and good moral character. Have more children and pass on your excellent character.”
Zhong Yao saluted again and promised to have more children.
As one of the few longevity people in the Three Kingdoms, Zhong Yao, like Han Rong and Deng Zhi, also lived to be eighty years old.
But the difference is that when Zhong Yao was seventy-five years old, he got a son, Lin'er, and named him Zhong Hui... Yes, it was the general Zhong who led his army to conquer Western Shu and was deceived by Jiang Wei into rebelling. Yes, he is Zhong Yao's youngest son.
In the world of the Three Kingdoms, where the average age is thirty, Zhong Yao can live to be eighty and give birth to a son at seventy-five. Zhong Yao's body, like his calligraphy skills, are far ahead. of.
It is a pity that he passed away when Zhong Hui was five years old and did not teach the child well. As a result, Zhong Hui was more outgoing and did not have the introversion and low-keyness of Zhong Da calligrapher.
Especially when Sima Shi was in power, Zhong Hui was in charge of all matters big and small, both inside and outside the court.
When he was named General Zhenxi and led his army to destroy Shu, Zhong Hui became even more domineering. When his horse got stuck in the mud during the march, he blamed Xu Yi, the vanguard of the army, and then ordered Xu Yi to be killed despite the generals' pleas. Yi was beheaded.
Xu Yi was Xu Chu's son, and Zhong Hui killed him without blinking an eye. At that time, some people suspected that he would rebel.
In fact, as soon as Zhong Hui led his army to Chang'an, the Sima family began to be wary of Zhong Hui, and specially sent some soldiers and horses to Xi'an. When Zhong Hui captured Jiange, Sima Zhao personally led the army Arrive in Chang'an.
The reason why Jiang Wei successfully instigated Zhong Hui's rebellion was because Zhong Hui had no way to retreat at that time.
This was originally a battle to show off one's strength, but in the end it turned into a war to destroy the country. With such wealth and wealth falling on his head, Zhong Hui immediately knew that he was a bad guy.
His achievements are so great that he has stolen Sima Zhao's limelight and will not end well.
If Sima Zhao had already proclaimed himself emperor, then this achievement of destroying the country must be to congratulate the new emperor. But now Sima Zhao is just the Duke of Jin who monopolizes power and evacuates the court. Even if he has the merit of destroying the country, he must do it.
You, Zhong Hui, came up to destroy Shu. What, you also want to usurp power and become emperor?
At that time, Zhong Hui would face two outcomes, either return to Chang'an and be imprisoned by Sima Zhao on random charges; or he could go all out, find a way to occupy Chengdu, and then resist stubbornly.
Zhong Hui listened to Jiang Wei and prepared to lead his army to occupy Chengdu, but in the end he failed. Zhong Hui was killed, Jiang Wei was killed by the Yi tribe, and all the generals involved in the matter were killed. The entire Chengdu Killing heads rolling in.
Pang De's son Pang Hui also took advantage of this chaos and led his troops to destroy the Guan family.
It should be said or not, this kind of behavior is very dirty. On the battlefield, you and I live and die, everyone has his own master. Even if you want to take revenge, you should go to the rightful master to take revenge.
At that time, Laoguan's head was sent to Luoyang. Cao Cao specially made a golden body and buried it with extraordinary etiquette. The place was more than ten miles outside Luoyang City.
You Pang Hui wants revenge so much, why don’t you go dig up Laoguan’s grave?
He is submissive in front of the leaders, but strikes hard in front of the people. He is a typical person who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
After mixing the dipping sauce, Zhong Yao gave it to Zhang Daoling with both hands, and then enthusiastically taught Sima Lang a lesson, and also shared his experience in matching several dipping sauces:
"Boda, is your father at home now?"
Sima Lang's father is Sima Fang, a man who gave birth to eight children. Before Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he had been serving in the court and had the highest Qi Duwei and Jing Zhaoyin.
But since Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, Sima Fang resigned due to poor health and hid in his hometown in Wen County to concentrate on having a child.
Sima Lang replied respectfully:
"The current situation was turbulent, and my father was worried about the consequences for the family, so he became an official at home."
"How does it feel to be in Yanzhou?"
Everyone knows that Sima Lang became an official in Yanzhou, and Sima Lang did not hide it:
"Before returning home, I felt that Meng Degong was ambitious. , but when I returned home this time and heard some of Governor Xu’s policies, Lang suddenly felt that Meng Degong’s ambitions were a bit erratic, not enough...not down-to-earth enough.”
Although Cao Cao vigorously promoted poor families and employed people in an eclectic way, they were not consistent with reality. The world's "people-oriented" thinking is still a long way away, so feeling the changes in Hanoi County, Sima Lang's idea of taking his family to Yanzhou is no longer so strong, but hesitant.
Zhong Yao said:
"Hanoi has just taken over, and many policies have not had time to be implemented. If Boda is interested, I can recommend you to go to Chang'an to go to university. There is a new atmosphere there."
Sima Lang asked curiously:
< br>“What is a university?”
“A university is a school set up by the imperial court to specialize in teaching. It is divided into different majors, including liberal arts colleges, law schools, engineering colleges, military colleges, etc. There are many categories, Boda If you go to Chang'an, you will understand."
"May I ask Governor Zhong, which scholar is in charge of the university?"
"The president of the university is His Majesty himself, and the wine offering is to His Majesty's chief adviser Jia Wenhe. The professors of each college are Cai Shangshu, Lu Zhonglang, Sima Decao, Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong... In addition, Old General Huangfu, Old General Zhu Jun, in the future They will all join the military academy and teach them the experience of marching and fighting. "
Sima Lang was very moved when he heard it. Even with so many celebrities and scholars, it is worth a trip to Chang'an.
But thinking that he had just started his official career in Yanzhou, he hesitated again.
Lu Bu said:
"It doesn't matter, I can help you write a letter to Ah Ma. After reading the letter, he will not blame you, but will support you."
Having stolen so many poems from Meng De, I should write a letter.
By the way, let him be prepared to welcome the heavenly army. When the army comes to Chenliu, let his wife come out and have a drink with him. Is this appropriate?
Ah Man has always been thinking about his wife, but now he is doing the opposite. I don’t know how he will react.
While Lu Bu was thinking about it, Zhang Daoling reminded:
“Don’t go too far, your Majesty is always watching.”
"Don't worry, Old Zhang. I've just had my fill of mouth. My wives and concubines at home are beautiful and beautiful. How can I think about Ah Ma's wife? I'm just trying to scare him."
Waiting for everyone's dipping sauce After everything was mixed, everyone sat down and started to cook the meat.
Sima Lang was not used to this way of dining, but he soon discovered that compared to the separate meal system, this kind of shared meal system seemed to be easier to build relationships.
At first everyone was still restrained, but soon they started picking up food from each other with serving chopsticks.
Zhang Daoling was very satisfied with the pot base prepared by Li Yu. The various hot-boiled dishes were also very delicious. As for the Huadiao wine that was paired with it, the alcohol content was not high, so I didn’t get drunk at all. Good wine and good food, and I enjoyed the meal very well. Enjoyable.
"When Marquis Wen sees His Royal Highness the Holy Son, he must express his gratitude on behalf of the poor."
"Don't worry, I promise to bring the message to you, but my brother Li Xian doesn't care about this. He has always regarded us as one of his own... ...What are you going to do after dinner? Do you want to go to Chang’an to see your grandson?” , to see if the person he chose to learn scriptures is different from the original work."
Hearing Ksitigarbha's name, Lu Bu became interested:
"The person who caused the water and land ceremony this time is not Guanyin. A Bodhisattva?”
"The Lingshan side has changed. Ksitigarbha has been appointed to be fully responsible. The manpower deployed by Heavenly Court can also be replaced by others. There is no need to involve Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng. However, it is difficult to say whether to change it specifically. It depends on Ksitigarbha. Meaning. "
This catastrophe is jointly organized by the underworld and Lingshan. Heaven cannot participate, but it needs to respond to the catastrophe, so a small catastrophe will turn into a major catastrophe in minutes. In the original work, the immortal mounts in the sky chatted and laughed for a while, then went back to their homes to find their mothers.
But now the two sides are at odds. If Wukong doesn't keep them, but lets them go, then the B&B will reduce its daily supply of bananas.
Sima Lang had no idea what the two parties were talking about, and wanted to interrupt the topic, but couldn't.
Lu Bu said to him:
"After dinner, concrete will be laid in Huai County. You can follow and take a look. After finishing this work, I will go to your house... Wen County is my fiefdom. You guys The Sima family is the first family in Wen County, so we have to pay a visit both emotionally and rationally."
Hearing this, Sima Lang quickly raised his hands and asked:
"Can I go back first? Do you want to prepare your home? General Hussar comes to the humble residence. He should sprinkle water on the street, otherwise it would be too rude."
"It's not too late to go back after seeing the concrete construction. By the way, I'll go to your house when I go. Bring a statue of Lao Zhang. Your family should pay homage to it and don’t blaspheme the gods.”
"Don't worry, Marquis Wen, our whole family will visit morning and evening every day, and we won't do anything disrespectful."
Just kidding, Tianshi Zhang is just sitting there eating. Even those who don't believe in God will do it at this moment. Become a fanatic.
Zhang Daoling glanced at Sima Lang:
"Your family is very prosperous, and may become the first family in the Han Dynasty in the future."
Should I say it or not, the Sima family People are really capable of giving birth. Sima Fang gave birth to eight sons. He thought that was enough, but it turned out that it was not the limit at all.
The second eldest Sima Yi and the third eldest Sima Fu both gave birth to nine sons, while Sima Zhao of Sima Yi's family also gave birth to nine sons.
As for Sima Zhao's eldest son, Sima Yan, he gave birth to more than 20 sons and a dozen daughters in one go.
However, not all Sima families are so fertile. Sima Lang only had one child, and later had to adopt Sima Fu's child to support him in old age.
Sima Shi, who was as resourceful as Sima Yi, was even more infertile and had never given birth to a child in his life, so he focused his training on his second-rate brother.
One of the brothers was resourceful and killed dozens of ministers; the other was simple-minded and gave birth to a bunch of children... It felt like Sima Yi gave birth to a pair of yin and yang fish.
After the meal, Zhang Daoling said goodbye to everyone and left the prefect's mansion riding on thousands of golden lights.
Lü Bu rushed to Qin Yilu and asked:
“Has the pit been dug?”
“General Qi, it has been dug and the level is being measured.”
< br>Qin Yilu came early, and as soon as he arrived in Huai County, he talked about building a signal tower. Xu Rong sent hundreds of soldiers to dig four large pits according to the construction specifications of the base of a large signal tower.
These four pits are the bases of the signal tower.
Lu Bu came over to take a look, and brought a pile of triangle iron and steel bars of various shapes from the real world.
Qin Yilu led people to secure it properly, and measured it with a level to confirm that the four corners were at the same level. This can effectively prevent the built signal tower from being distorted.
Sima Lang stood aside, his mind full of surprise. He had never seen such equipment and instruments before, and he was even more curious about the walkie-talkies, drones and other equipment in everyone's hands.
Zhong Yao said:
"When you go to Chang'an, you will be exposed to these and even have to master them skillfully."
Not long after, Lu Bu drove a pump truck and a tank truck. Not only Sima Lang was surprised by this equipment, but also Zhong Yao I also sighed again and again, and couldn't help but describe this large-scale construction machinery as the most important tool of the country.
“May I ask the governor, what is this gray mud?”
“Concrete, although it looks like mud now, after it solidifies, it will be harder than stone... We don’t have cement now. Factory, when you have your own factory, you don’t need to call it from the real world.”
“The real world? Is it the world where His Royal Highness lives?”
"Yes, except for the gods, all materials need to be mobilized from the real world. I will show you some expansion films later to give you a preliminary understanding of the real world."
"Thank you, Governor!"< br>
After the concrete was laid, Lu Bu pulled the water pipe, washed the pump truck and tank truck, and then said to Sima Lang:
"You go back first, I will go to Wen County after I finish my work here. , I will stay at your house tonight and build a steel pontoon bridge on the Yellow River tomorrow. It will be convenient to go from Hanoi to Luoyang. "
Floating... pontoon bridge?
Sima Lang was no stranger to this, as there were prototypes of floating bridges in the Han Dynasty.
But the steel pontoon, won’t this thing sink into the water?
He originally wanted to ask, but he thought that even the gods had seen it today. What does a mere steel pontoon mean?
After Sima Lang left, Lu Bu sent all the equipment to the real world, then unfolded the rice paper, picked up the brush, and wrote a passionate letter to Cao Cao:
"My brother, show me Xin’an!”
"When I came to Hanoi, I met Sima Lang. I felt that this boy was honest and noble, so I conscripted him to Chang'an. If you have any opinions, you can come to Hanoi with a large army. We two brothers will fight against each other. We will fight against the general. Let’s have a good discussion.”
“I heard that your dream in your early years was to be a general in the Western Region? Then why did you go east? If you are interested, I can recommend you to serve as the Protector of the Western Regions and reincarnate Zhang Qian and Ban Chao. "How about this feat? Isn't it better than guarding Yanzhou?"
"The opportunity is given to you. If you don't agree, I will lead my troops into Yanzhou one day, and you have to let your wife accompany me to drink. This is considered Your punishment."
"By the way, help me find Hua Tuo when you have the chance. Don't always think about being the king. Do something useful."
" I don’t know what’s going on, but as soon as I wrote to you, my thoughts started to flow, and I couldn’t hold it down anymore. I was so poetic just now that I gave Meng De a song called “Viewing the Sea,” and I hope you can correct it.”
This guy copied the poem "Viewing the Canghai" at the end of the letter, and added a special sentence:
"I brought two pieces of soap to my sister-in-law for bathing. Please don't be careful. I have absolutely nothing against my sister-in-law!"
After writing the letter, Lu Bu dried the ink, carefully stuffed it into an envelope, then picked out a piece of rose-scented soap and a piece of jasmine-scented soap, and washed them. Qin Yilu asked:
"Do you dare to go to Yanzhou to find Cao Cao to deliver a message?"
"Why don't you dare?"
"Okay, send the letter and soap to Yanzhou and hand them over to Ah Ma personally. When you come back, I will let you work as a craftsman in Hanoi."
Craftsmanship is generally related to ordnance production and house construction. This The official position may not sound high, but the power in his hands is quite large. He can deal with photovoltaic power generation problems, or repair water trucks and install water pumps to improve irrigation methods, etc., which is more in line with the position of a soldier.
Lu Bu's soldiers have more exposure to modern knowledge. It would be a waste if they were deployed as front-line troops. They should be used as technicians to bring out their strengths.
In order to increase his momentum, Lu Bu specially sent fifty full-armored cavalry to follow:
“When you go out, everything you say and do represents the face of the court...I ask you, if What should you do if Cao Cao or his men are disrespectful to you?”
"Fight with them on the spot!"
"Yes, killing one is enough, killing two is enough!"
As soon as he heard this, Lu Bu kicked the soldier:< br>
"Do you know how expensive your armor is? If you don't kill ten people, you won't be able to get your money back..."
Seeing everyone's fighting spirit, he was afraid that there would be no return, so he quickly said:< br>
"Don't always think about fighting and killing. Use harsh words when you need to, and threaten when you need to. But it's best to come back with all ends. No matter what grievances you suffer, I will take them back tenfold and a hundredfold." Come."
"Don't worry, general, we will definitely fulfill our mission!"
When the soldiers left, Lu Bu said to Zhong Yao and Xu Rong:
"Let's go! , let’s set off to Wenxian County and make the Sima clan swear an oath to Lao Zhang’s statue... By the way, Shexian County will most likely enter a stalemate. Xun You should let Dong Zhao come back, and then the defense here will also be in charge. Get up and ask Guo Yuan to garrison at Dangyin."
Now Longlu County and Dangyin County in the north of Hanoi County are in Yuan Shao's hands.
When Dong Zhao comes back, he can plan to take back these two counties and connect them with Shexian County and other directions to maintain the siege of Yecheng.
When they set off, Zhao Yun, who was returning to pick up his family, was also waiting at Jingxingguan.
In addition to Zhao Feng's family, everyone found that a very handsome young general also came with his family, and he greeted everyone familiarly.
Zilong introduced:
“This is a good friend I grew up with, named Xia Houlan. I heard that Yun was going to Chang’an with his brother and his family, so I led my whole family to join him!”
