Chapter 454
After May, the green plums turned yellow, sweet and sour, which was a good fruit to cool down. The Han people liked to use green plums to cook wine, and Cao Cao used green plum wine to discuss heroes. However, Guo Jia had a vow first and would not drink alcohol in this life. In order to help him keep his oath, Zhang Hong cooked green plum soup for him, mung beans and green plums, and a little sugar to increase the sweetness. He would give him a pound of body and mind to comfort him.
Candy is a rare thing these days, especially sugar, which is rare in ordinary people. Sun Ce has never seen it before. The sugar used by Zhang Hong was given by Zhu Jun, only one pound, and it was packed in a celadon bottle. As for how Zhu Jun came from, no one knows it.
Seeing Zhang Hong so generous, Guo Jia was embarrassed to ask for wine. The three of them took the guards and found a shade next to a tributary of the Honggou Water, put down their seats, and chatted while fishing. Honggou was the Honggou that the overlord Xiang Yu and Liu Bang confronted each other. Not far west along the Honggou were Chenggao and Ao Cang. When the Chu-Han battled, there were many wars here. Zhang Hong and Guo Jia were all familiar with historical events. Although Sun Ce also knew these stories, he rarely came here. Now he heard them telling stories with relish, no worse than the sour plum soup in his hand.
"When telling the story, you must be interested in something." Guo Jia was intrigued and greeted Sun Ce and Zhang Hong with soup instead of wine. "When Yuan Shao fled from Luoyang, he walked along the Gangou, passed Chenggao, and Zhongmu entered Chenliu all the way, and there was a small accident."
Sun Ce was very surprised. He knew that Cao Cao had taken this road when he escaped from Luoyang, and even killed Lu Boshe's family in Chenggao, leaving behind a very famous saying, but he didn't know which route Yuan Shao took. Historical books simply said that Yuan Shao escaped from Luoyang and ran to Jizhou, and how he went, but no one mentioned it.
"Speak and listen."
"When Yuan Shao escaped from Luoyang, he not only brought his family, but also nearly a hundred cars of property, some of which were probably stolen from the palace." Guo Jia took a sip of sour plum soup and said with a smile: "There were two chances of making money in the history of the Yuan family: one was to overthrow the General Liang Ji, and the other was the Yuan Shao brothers who entered the palace. Yuan Shao's father Yuan Cheng was the confidant of General Liang Ji, and Yuan Shao was the confidant of General He Jin. I really don't know what they would feel when they met these two generals in the underworld. Yuan Cheng was a little better, after all, Liang Ji was sorry for him, and he did not regret Liang Ji. It is hard to say that although He Jin died at the hands of Zhang Rang and others, it was actually the same as dying at his hands."
Sun Ce thought something, no wonder Yin Wei rarely mentioned the Yuan family. Now he is forced to live with Yuan Quan. It is really a grievance for her.
"Yuan Shao and his party had nearly a thousand people, and they were very powerful and did not dare to live in the county. When they were in Chenggao, they went to Cao Cao's old friend Lu Boshe's house to stay. The Lu family was a local powerful man, and there were some courtyards, but there were so many people who came at once. Yuan Shao was worried that Dong Zhuo would send someone to chase him and not allow Cao Cao to leak his identity. As a result, it aroused the suspicion of the Lu family, for fear that they would be malicious. The two sides were guarding each other and a conflict occurred accidentally. Yuan Shao had many martial arts wanderers around him. Naturally, the Lu family was not the opponent, and they were killed so blood that they were killed. None of Lu Boshe's five sons could escape and died at the hands of Cao Cao. I guess Cao would have regretted it when he killed the five sons of the Lu family. If he hadn't spoken quickly for a while, he would not have caused the family to destroy the friend's family."
"Wait, since it's a melee, why did Lu Boshe's five sons die at Cao Cao's hands?"
"Hehe, gentleman stays away from the kitchen. How could this matter be dirty? Of course, Cao Cao will do it." Guo Jia held a bowl and asked someone to fill another bowl of sour plum soup. "Look at when Yuan Shao killed someone with his own hands? If it were not forcing him, he would not do it himself."
Sun Ce was right to think about it. With Yuan Shao's identity, he really didn't need to kill people with his own hands. Du Yuesheng was just one of the three tycoons in Shanghai and no longer had to kill people with his own hands. Yuan Shao was the most awesome leader of the Han Empire and the leader of the party. He didn't need to kill people with his own hands. Later, he killed Han Fu and Zhang Miao, all of which were borrowed from others.
"Speaking of this, the Lu family died unjustly. If you have some knowledge, you should know who the person is. Looking at the world, besides Yuan Shao, who can make Cao Cao so obedient, and who can have so many followers and property? Alas, the great opportunity to follow the dragon became a disaster for the family extermination. The Lu family’s father and son didn’t know what to think in the nine springs."
Sun Ce was silent for a long time and said lightly: "I don't know what the Lu family father and son think, but I know what future generations will think. This will definitely be left in history books in the future."
"Then the general can only laugh to the end." Zhang Hong said lightly: "If Yuan Shao wins, the Lu Boshe family will not only have nowhere to seek justice, but will also be slandered. Just like those people killed by Zhang Jian and Cen Shi, they should be damned."
Guo Jia smiled. "It is normal for the Spring and Autumn style to be a taboo for the respected one."
Sun Ce was depressed and even lost his appetite for the sweet and sour plum soup.
——
Hanoi County, Dangyin.
Yuan Shao's hand shook, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes, and then he calmed down again. He stood up, turned around, and asked the waiter to confirm that there was nothing wrong, so he quickly walked out. He was tall and took a very fast step. He arrived at the door in two steps. The waiter knelt on the ground, put on his silk shoes, and had already put on one. Yuan Shao changed his mind, took off his silk shoes, and ran out in his snow-white footwear.
"Brother Bo Qiu, is it really you?"
He Yong stood in the vestibule, watching Yuan Shao run out from inside, striding heavily, his clothes flying, and his snow-white feet were even more conspicuous. His originally gloomy face was slightly slower, and he vomited most of the stuffy breath that was held in his heart.
"Benchu, are you safe?"
Yuan Shao blinked his eyes, walked to He Yong's side, stroked He Yong's arm, and laughed. "Brother Bo Qiu, it's been three years since he got apart in Luoyang? Brother Bo Qiu's voice was born, I'm thinking about it day and night. Well, this righteous man is..."
"Xun Gongda, the grandson of Xun Yuanzhi, was he who escorted me from Chang'an to Wancheng and came to Yecheng again."
Yuan Shao let go of He Yong, flapped his arms, his sleeves were flying like bird's wings, bowing to Xun You, his body was like a broken chime. Xun You wanted to avoid him, and Yuan Shao said, "My friend, I am both a teacher and a friend. If you escort him to Yecheng all the way, you will have great kindness to me. You can bear this bow completely."
Xun You sighed lightly: "The leader does not have to do this. Mr. Bo Qiu has taught me a lot. I regard him as an elder. Some trivial matters are not worth mentioning, and I should do it."
"Yingchuan Xun clan is worthy of being the descendant of the gods, and there are many geniuses." Yuan Shao praised: "My friend, you have worked hard all the way, go and rest first. It's a pity that your Xun clan members were either in Yecheng or Chang'an. You won't see each other for a while, otherwise you can be reunited."
Xun You saluted He Yong, bowed, and followed Yuan Shao to the inn. He Yong didn't say anything. When Xun You left, he frowned slightly. While climbing the steps with Yuan Shao, he said, "Benchu, did the Xun family join the army to conquer?"
Yuan Shao didn't say anything, helped He Yong to the hall, invited him to sit down, and then brought a circle with him, let He Yong lean on it, and then returned to his mat to sit down. He pondered for a moment and said earnestly: "Brother Bo Qiu, you are here just right. I have encountered some trouble, only Brother Bo Qiu can help me."
"What kind of trouble can make you so troubled?" He Yong stared at Yuan Shao's face and said word by word: "Abandon the elder and the young?"
