Chapter 133 Chapter Twenty

Soon, Zhang Ji also wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Guanzhong and led his army to capture Jingzhou. Liu Biao sent troops to resist. Zhang Ji died of Liushi when he attacked Rangcheng.Jingzhou officials all congratulated Liu Biao.But Liu Biao said openly: "Zhang Ji came to Jingzhou because of a difficult situation. As the master, I should treat each other with courtesy. Unfortunately, there is a conflict. As a shepherd of Jingzhou, I feel deeply regretful and guilty. How can I celebrate?" .Liu Biao then sent someone to negotiate peace with Zhang Xiu, the successor of Zhang Ji's army, and brought Zhang Xiu's army into Jingzhou's sphere of influence.Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, rebelled. Liu Biao sent a large army to besiege Changsha. Zhang Xian died of illness without a fight. His son Zhang Yi raised the city and surrendered. Liu Biao took the opportunity to recover the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang. horse.

During the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao sent envoys to ask Liu Biao to attack Cao Mengde from the south. Liu Biaoguang seemed to intend to sit firmly in Jianghan and watch the fight between snipe and clam.Han Song suggested that Liu Biao join Cao Mengde, and Kuai Yue also suggested the same, but Liu Biao looked down on these people instead, saying: "I, Liu Jingsheng, can't be a three-year-old child." In his bosom, there was still a poem that Wen Ji had entrusted to him a few days ago.Back at Xu Du's mansion, he took out the poem written by Wen Ji again: Zhuo Zhong came to the east, and the golden armor shined in the sun.

The Pingtu people are weak, and all the soldiers who come are Hu and Qiang. Lie Ye besieged the city, and everything he wanted was destroyed. Cut off without leaving any remains, and the corpses support each other. The man's head hangs beside the horse, and the woman is carried behind the horse. Drive west and enter the customs, the circuit is dangerous and obstructed. Also Gu Miao Mingming, the liver and spleen are rotten. There are thousands of plans, so they are not allowed to gather together. Or have flesh and blood, want to speak but dare not speak. Frustrated, he asked a few times, and said that he would kill the prisoner.

If you want to use a pavilion knife, I will not be happy with you. How can I cherish my life again, I can't bear the scolding. Or add a stick, poisonous pain and pain. On the other hand, weep and walk, and at night, weep and sit. If you want to die, you can't get it, if you want to live, you can't have anything. He Gu, who is in the sky, has suffered such a disaster! Cao Mengde has seen Wen Ji's inner world from her recent works. Although she has returned to the Han family and married, the misfortune of more than ten years ago is still tormenting her.If Dong Si...how could she survive?

But Dong Si embezzled military pay, he should be beheaded, the law is ruthless.Cao Mengde remembered the scene when Chen Liu started his army again.Once, on the way of marching, his war horse jumped into a wheat field and trampled a large piece of wheat.According to his decree, if people and horses trample on crops during the march, they will be punished by beheading.In order to enforce military discipline, he drew his sword and wanted to cut himself off. All the soldiers pleaded hard, and he finally cut off a lock of his hair. Cao Mengde fell into a deep contradiction. Suddenly, Cai Wenji was reported outside the mansion to ask for an interview.

Cao Mengde hadn't figured it out yet, but when he heard that it was Wen Ji who was asking to see her, he hurriedly said, "Quickly send Wen Ji in!" Then he said, "Didn't I tell you that when Wen Ji enters the prime minister's residence, she will come in directly, and there is no need to send a report." Wen Ji walked into the prime minister's mansion slowly, Cao Mengde saw her hair loose, pale face, thin body, eyes full of tears, love and compassion suddenly arose. Wen Ji first kowtowed to plead guilty, and then defended Dong Si.Wen Ji first objectively stated the history of her husband's crime, and then emphasized that her husband's motive for embezzling military pay was not to fill his own pockets, but to use it to build water canals for the benefit of the people, but the common people didn't know that.Her words were beautiful and vivid, and her voice was sad and sad, so straightforward that all the guests who met Prime Minister Cao at the mansion were quietly moved.

Cao Mengde saw that everyone was inclined towards Wen Ji emotionally, but in order to safeguard the dignity of the law, he still said: "Although your defense is justifiable, the sentence for sentencing has been issued, what should I do?" Wen Ji saw that this self-proclaimed uncle was already looking for an excuse to step down, so she said: "The prime minister has tens of thousands of fast horses, and there are a lot of tigers. Why do you cherish the fast horses and refuse to send an emergency envoy to save a dying life?" Woolen cloth?" Cao Mengde was emotionally forced into a dilemma by Wen Ji, so he said: "Immediately send a fast horse to recover Dong Duwei's sentence."

That night, Cao Mengde left Wen Ji at the mansion. After bathing, Wen Ji appeared in front of Cao Mengde with a moving appearance. Her husband's rescue made her face glow again, her temperament became more elegant, and she had a special charm that all beautiful women do not have. Cao Mengde didn't know when he gently stroked Wen Ji's shoulder, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, but soon, his hand moved away from Wen Ji's shoulder, and he suddenly thought of Wen Ji's father Cai Yong. "I heard that in the hometown of Hedong, there are many books left by your late father, some of which have long been lost among the people. Can Wen Ji still remember the contents of those books?"

Wen Ji said: "In the past, my father left more than 4,000 volumes of works, but due to the ravages of war and displacement, most of them were lost. Now I can only memorize about 400 volumes." Cao Mengde said very happily: "Okay, okay, I will ask Zijian, Zihuan, and Chen Lin to help you sort out your late father's manuscripts and pass them on to future generations. This is the best memorial to your late father's soul. " Wen Ji didn't like it so much, she held Cao Mengde's hand tightly and said, "Thank you uncle!" Cao Mengde suddenly said with infinite sadness: "I am old, and I wanted to continue the rewriting of the "Han Shu" that your father had not completed. I have more energy than I want! I can only entrust this matter to you."

Wen Ji felt that this uncle had aged a lot in an instant. After finishing this important matter, Cao Mengde went to Yecheng again, and Xuanwu Lake was calling him.
