 Chapter 34 of the main text: Lady Cai listens to secret messages across the screen. Liu Huangshu jumps his horse and crosses the Tanxi River

------------------------

But when Cao Cao dug up a bronze sparrow in the golden light, Xun You asked, "What is this omen?" You replied, "In the past, Mother Shun dreamed of a jade sparrow in her arms

Sheng Shun. Having a bronze sparrow today is also an auspicious sign. ”Cao was overjoyed and ordered to build a high platform to celebrate. On the same day, break the soil and wood, burn the tiles and grind them

Brick, build a bronze sparrow platform on the Zhang River. It takes about a year to complete the work. Shaozi Cao Zhijin said, "If you want to build a platform, you must stand three: in the middle

The tall ones are called bronze sparrows; The one on the left is called Jade Dragon; The one on the right is called Jinfeng. Make two flying bridges, soaring horizontally,

It is spectacular. ”Cao Cao said, "My son's words are very good. One day, when the platform is completed, it will be enough to entertain me!" It turned out that Cao Cao had five sons, but only planted

Being quick witted and good at writing, Cao Cao loved it the most in his daily life. So Cao Zhi and Cao Pi were left to build a platform in Ye County, and Zhang Yan was appointed to guard the northern fortress. Damn it, General

Obtain the army of Yuan Shao, totaling five to six hundred thousand, and return to Xudu. Grand enfeoffment of meritorious officials; He also presented Guo Jia as Marquis Zhen and raised his son Yi in the mansion.

Gather a group of strategists to discuss and plan a southern expedition against Liu Biao. Xun Yu said, "The great army has returned from the northern expedition and cannot be moved again. Let's wait for six months and cultivate our spirits

Rui, Liu Biao and Sun Quan can hit the drum with just one blow. ”Following this, troops were divided and stationed in the fields, waiting to be called upon.

But since Xuande arrived in Jingzhou, Liu Biao treated him very well. One day, while gathering for a drink, it was suddenly reported that surrendered generals Zhang Wu and Chen Sun had abducted people in Jiangxia

The people conspired to rebel. Biao Jing said, "The two thieves have rebelled again, causing a great disaster!" Xuande said, "There's no need for you to worry, brother. Please go and punish them

With great joy, he ordered 30000 troops and went with Xuande. Xuande took the order and arrived in Jiangxia within a day. Zhang Wu, Chen Sunyin

Soldiers come to welcome. Xuande, Guan, Zhang, and Zhao Yun rode under the banner of the gate and saw the horse ridden by Zhang Wu, which was extremely majestic. Xuande said, 'This...'

It must be a thousand mile horse. ”Before finishing his words, Zhao Yun pulled out his gun and charged straight towards the formation. Zhang Wuzhong welcomed with a horse, but failed to cooperate and was shot by Zhao Yun

After dismounting, he casually grabbed the reins and led the horse back to the formation. Chen Sun saw it and rushed to seize it. Zhang Fei let out a loud shout and brandished his spear, striking Chen

Sun stabbed to death. Everyone dispersed. Xuande pacified the remaining factions, pacified the counties of Jiangxia, and returned with his troops. Show off Guo Ying's integration into the city and hold a banquet to celebrate the achievement

After drinking until he was halfway drunk, he said, "My younger brother is so talented that Jingzhou relies on him. But I am worried that the South Vietnamese may come to attack from time to time, and Zhang Lu and Sun Quan are both sufficient

For consideration. ”Xuande said, "My younger brother has three generals who can be appointed: Zhang Fei to patrol the border of Nanyue; Yun Chang to resist Guzi City and suppress Zhang Lu;

Zhao Yun refused the Three Rivers in order to become Sun Quan. What's the point of worrying? ”Expressing joy, wanting to follow their words.

Cai Mao told his sister Lady Cai, "Liu Bei sent three generals to live outside, while he himself resides in Jingzhou, which will lead to trouble for a long time." Lady Cai said to Liu Biao that night

I have heard that many people from Jingzhou have been in contact with Liu Bei, so it is necessary to guard against him. It is not beneficial to allow him to live in the city now, so it is not advisable to send him there

He said, "Xuande is a benevolent person." Cai Shi replied, "I only fear that others may not have the same heart as you." He pondered and did not answer. The next day, I left the city and met Xuande

Riding on a horse of extreme strength, when asked, he knew it was Zhang Wu's horse and praised it greatly. Xuande then sent this horse to Liu Biao. Show great joy and ride back to the city

In the middle. Kuai Yue saw it and asked. The table says, "This is a gift from Xuande." Yue says, "In the past, my elder brother Kuai Liang was the best at riding horses. Yue is also quite knowledgeable

This horse has tear troughs under its eyes and white spots on its forehead, named Di Lu. Riding it would be harmful to the master. Zhang Wu died for this horse. The lord cannot ride on it.

”Listen to their words. The next day, I invited Xuande to a banquet and said, 'Yesterday, I inherited the favor of a good horse and deeply felt its kindness. However, my virtuous younger brother occasionally invites me, so I can...'

Use it. Respectfully return it. ”Xuande expresses gratitude. Biao also said, "My virtuous younger brother has been living here for a long time and fears that his military career will be ruined. Xiangyang belongs to Yixinye County and is quite prosperous

Rich grain. How can I lead my troops to station in this county? ”Xuande leads the promise. The next day, Xie bid farewell to Liu Biao and led the troops of our headquarters along the route

Go to Xinye.

As he walked out of the city gate, he saw a man bowing in front of his horse and saying, "The government is not allowed to ride on horses." Xuande recognized him as an Yiji, the governor of Jingzhou

His courtesy name is Ji Bo, and he is also from Shanyang. Xuande quickly dismounted and asked. The inscription reads: "Yesterday I heard that Kuai Xixi said to Liu Jingzhou, 'This horse is named Lu, riding on it.'

It harms the master. Therefore, it is still public. Can the public ride again? ”Xuande said, "I deeply feel that you are loved by me, sir. But ordinary people have a life and death, and no horse can do it

What a shame! ”Due to his high opinion, he frequently interacted with Xuande from then on. From Xuande to Xinye, both the military and civilians were pleased, and politics was rejuvenated. Jian'an Ten

In the spring of the second year, Gan Fu gave birth to Liu Chan. That night, there was a white crane flying over the county government building, chirping more than forty times and looking west. parting

At the time of delivery, the room was filled with strange fragrance. Lady Gan tasted the night dream and swallowed the Big Dipper, which led to her pregnancy, hence her nickname Adou. At this time, Cao Cao's orthodox army marched north.

Xuande went to Jingzhou and said to Liu Biao, "Now that Cao Cao has learned of the northern expedition, Xuchang is empty. If we take advantage of the troops from Jingxiang to attack, it will be a great event

But that's it. ”The table said, 'It's enough for me to sit in the nine commanderies. How can I forget about it?' Xuande remained silent. Invitation to drink in the back hall. Drinking until half drunk

Suddenly, the watch let out a long sigh. Xuande said, "Why do you sigh so long, brother?" He replied, "I have something on my mind that I haven't been able to express clearly." Xuande wanted to ask again

At that moment, Mrs. Cai stepped out of the standing screen. Liu Biao lowered his head and remained silent. In a moment, the banquet dispersed, and Xuande returned to his new field. In the winter of that year, I heard that Cao Cao had taken the willow tree

Upon returning to the city, Xuande sighed deeply that he didn't need to express himself. One day, Liu Biao sent an envoy to invite Xuande to meet in Jingzhou. Xuande followed the envoy.

Liu Biao continued, after the ceremony, please enter the back hall for a banquet; Because Xuande said, 'I have heard recently that Cao Cao has brought his troops back to Xudu, and the situation is becoming increasingly strong. There will be...'

Annex the heart of Jingxiang. I regret not listening to my wise brother's words in the past and missing this good opportunity. ”Xuande said, "Today is the day of division, starting from the day of war,

Is there no end to opportunities? If it can be dealt with later, it is not enough to be hatred. ”The table said, 'My younger brother's words are very appropriate.' They exchanged drinks. the drinking is at its height

Suddenly, tears streamed down my face. Xuande asked about the reason behind it. The table says, "I have something on my mind. The former wants to confide in my virtuous younger brother, but I haven't been able to do so," Xuande said

Brother, what's the difficult thing to solve? If there's anything useful about him, he won't give up even if he dies. "He said," Qi, the son of Chen's ex-wife, is

Although a person is wise, they are weak and cowardly, lacking the ability to take action; Qiong, the youngest son born to his stepwife Cai, is quite intelligent. I want to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones, fearing that it may hinder etiquette and law; desire

The eldest son was appointed as the head of military affairs in the Nai Cai clan, and there would be chaos in the future. Therefore, the commission cannot be made. ”Xuande said, "Since ancient times, we have abolished the long and established the young

Take the path of chaos. If you are worried about the weight of the Cai family, you can gradually reduce it, and do not overindulge and give birth to a young child. ”Silent expression.

Originally, Lady Cai had doubts about Xuande, and whenever she encountered Xuande and Biaosulun, she would come to eavesdrop. At that moment, behind the screen, I heard Xuande's words and felt deeply moved

Hate it. Xuande knew he was speechless, so he got up and went to the bathroom. I couldn't help but shed tears when I saw my body and flesh regrow. Shao Qing resumed his seat. watch

Seeing Xuande's tearful expression, it's strange to ask. Xuande let out a long sigh and said, "As usual, I don't leave my saddle, and my flesh is scattered. If I don't ride for a long time, my flesh will grow inside my thigh

The sun and moon are dragging on, the veteran has arrived, but the achievements are not built: it is a pity! ”The table says: 'I heard that the virtuous brother is in Xuchang, with Cao Cao and Qingmei.'

Boiling wine, discussing heroes together; My virtuous younger brother has appointed all the famous scholars in the world, but Cao Cao is not allowed to do so. He only claims to be a hero in the world, but only to the emperor and Cao Cao

I dare not surpass my younger brother in terms of power, why worry about not building my achievements? ”Taking advantage of the drinking pleasure, Xuande blurted out, "If there is any basic preparation

Those who are mediocre in the world should not worry. ”Upon hearing the words, he remained silent. Xuande knew his words were lost, so he got up drunk and returned to the library to rest. after

There is a poem praising Xuande, which says: "Cao Gong bends his finger and counts from the beginning: the heroes of the world are the only ones who serve you. When his hair and flesh are reborn, he still sighs and competes to teach the world that the characters are not divided into three parts

？”

But when Liu Biao heard of Xuande's words, although he didn't speak, he felt inadequate and said goodbye to Xuande, retreating into the inner house. Madame Cai said, 'It's appropriate for me to be on the screen.'

Upon hearing Liu Bei's words, he looked down upon him, indicating his intention to annex Jingzhou. If not eliminated now, it will be a future threat. ”The table does not answer, but

Just shaking your head. Cai Shi secretly summoned Cai Mao to discuss possible matters. Mao said, "Please kill him in the building first, and then inform the lord

Shi Ran's words. Mao left and immediately ordered troops overnight.

But Xuande sat in the hall holding candles, and only after three shifts did he want to go to bed. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and entered, mistaking it for Yijiya

Yiji discovered that Cai Mao intended to harm Xuande and came to report it at night. At present, Yiji General Cai Mao's plan is reported to Xuande, urging him to get up quickly

Xuande said, "How can I go without resigning from Jingsheng?" The book reads, "If I resign, I will be harmed by Cai Mao." Xuande then thanked Bieyi

Ji, urgently calling for followers, mounted their horses together and rushed back to Xinye at night without waiting for dawn. When Bi Ji Cai Mao led the troops to the museum, Xuan De had already gone far away

That's it. Mao regretted nothing, so he wrote a poem between the walls and went straight to the table, saying: "Liu Bei has rebellious intentions and wrote a poem against the wall

Resigned and left. ”If I don't believe it, I will personally visit the museum and observe it, and there will be four lines of poetry. The poem says: "For years, I have been trapped, empty handed to the old mountains and rivers. Dragon

What a creature in the pool, riding on thunder to ascend to heaven! ”Liu Biao was furious when he saw the poem and drew his sword, saying, "I swear to kill this unjust disciple!" He took a few steps and restrained himself

He said, "I have been with Xuande for many times, but I have never seen him write poetry. This is a plan for outsiders to sow discord." Then he returned to the building and used his sword

Sharp away this poem, abandon the sword and mount the horse. Cai Mao requested, "All the soldiers have been ordered, we can go to Xinye to capture Liu Bei

Next, Rong Xutu. ”Cai Mao was skeptical and indecisive, so he secretly discussed with Lady Cai: the officials of the assembly will be in Xiangyang today to plan for that location

It's. The next day, Mao submitted a memorial saying, "In recent years, it has been prosperous and prosperous. We have gathered a group of officials in Xiangyang to show our intention of appeasement and persuasion. Please lead the delegation

Recently, I have been suffering from an illness and cannot proceed. I can ask my second son to host the guests. "Mao said," Young master, I am afraid of losing etiquette

The table said, "You can go to Xinye to invite Xuande to entertain you." Mao secretly liked his plan and sent someone to invite Xuande to Xiangyang.

But Xuande ran back to Xinye, knowing that his mistake would bring trouble, and did not speak to anyone. The messenger has arrived suddenly, please go to Xiangyang. Sun Qian said, "I saw you yesterday

The lord hurriedly returned, feeling very unhappy. Foolish intentions lead to accidents in Jingzhou. Please come to the meeting now, don't go lightly. ”Xuande Fang

Report the previous matter to everyone. Yun Chang said, "Brother, I doubt my words. Liu Jingzhou has no intention of blaming me. Do not easily believe what outsiders say

Xiangyang is not far from here. If we don't go, Jingzhou will become suspicious. ”Xuande said, "The words of Yun Chang are correct." Zhang Fei said, "Feast

No good banquet, no good meeting, it's better to take a break. ”Zhao Yun said, "Three hundred soldiers of a certain general's cavalry and infantry can go together to ensure the safety of our lord

De said, "That's very good

So he went to Xiangyang with Zhao Yun on the same day. Cai Mao greeted Guo with great humility. Subsequently, the two sons of Liu Qi and Liu Cong led a group of civil and military bureaucrats out

Welcome. Xuande was not suspicious when he saw that both young masters were present. Please ask Xuande to take a temporary rest at the library on this day. Zhao Yun led three hundred troops to surround and protect. Yun Pi

Hang a sword and sit close to each other. Liu Qi told Xuande, "My father is sick and unable to move. I would like to invite my uncle to entertain me and advise everyone

The official responsible for guarding and collecting. ”Xuande said, "I didn't dare to do this; since I have a brother's order, I dare not disobey." The next day, the person reported forty-two of the nine commanderies

All state officials have arrived. Cai Mao asked Kuai Yue for advice and said, "Liu Bei, the great hero of the world, stayed here for a long time and will surely cause harm in the future. But for now

Remove it from the day. ”Yue said, "I fear losing the hope of the people." Mao said, "I have secretly led Liu Jingzhou's speech here." Yue said, "Since

This can be prepared in advance. ”Mao said, "I have appointed my younger brother Cai He as the commander-in-chief of the Xianshan Road in the east gate, and Cai Zhong as the commander-in-chief outside the south gate

Cai Xun has been appointed as the governor outside the North Gate. There is no need to guard the west gate: there is a sandalwood stream blocking the way, although there are tens of thousands of people, it is not easy to pass through. ”

Yue said, "I see that Zhao Yunxing cannot sit away from Xuande, so I am afraid it will be difficult to strike." Mao said, "I have prepared five hundred troops in the city." Yue said

Wen Pin and Wang Wei can set up another seat in the outer hall to wait for military commanders. Please stay with Zhao Yun first, and then proceed with their actions

.

On that day, we slaughtered cows and horses, and held a grand banquet. Xuande rode on Lu Ma to the state office and ordered him to be tied up in the backyard. All officials gathered in the hall. Master Xuande

Xi, the second young master sits on both sides, while the rest sit in turn. Zhao Yun stood beside Xuande with his sword. Wenpin and Wang Wei invite Zhao Yun to attend the banquet

Yun refused to go. Xuande ordered Yun to take his seat, but Yun reluctantly obeyed the order and left. Cai Mao tidied up a similar iron bucket outside and brought Xuan De three

Hundred troops, all sent back to the embassy building, waiting only halfway through, ready to take action. After three rounds of drinking, Yi Ji picked up his cup and approached Xuande, looking at him with his eyes

He whispered, "Please change your clothes." Xuande understood and immediately got up to use the toilet. Yiji finished his cup and rushed into the backyard, followed by Xuande and his ear

The newspaper said, "Cai Mao has plotted to harm you. There are military and horse guards stationed in the east, south, and north of the city. Only the west gate can be left, so it is advisable for you to escape quickly

Xuande was greatly surprised, and Lu Ma, who was in a hurry, opened the gate of the backyard and led him out. He flew onto the horse, ignoring the followers, and the horse looked at the west gate and walked away. The gatekeeper asked

Xuande didn't answer and came out with a whip. The gatekeeper couldn't hold back and flew to report to Cai Mao. Mao immediately mounted his horse and led five hundred troops to chase after him.

But Xuande collided with the West Gate and traveled countless miles. There was a big stream in front of him that blocked his way. The Tan River was several zhang wide and flowed through the Xiang River, with its waves very tight

Xuande arrived at the stream and saw that it was impossible to cross. He rode his horse back and looked at the dust rising from the west of the city, and the pursuers were approaching. Xuande said, 'I'm dead today.'

Then he rode back to the stream. When I looked back, the pursuers were already close. Xuande panicked and rode down the stream. After taking a few steps, the horse's front hooves suddenly sank,

Wet the robe. Xuande whipped his whip and shouted loudly, "Di Lu, Di Lu! Today is a bad day for me! After finishing his words, the horse suddenly surged up from the water,

Jump three zhang and fly to the west bank. Xuande rises from the clouds and mist. Later, Master Su wrote an ancient style poem, which only praised the event of leaping horses over the Tanxi River. Poetry says

As the old age fades away, flowers linger in the twilight of spring, and officials wander to Tanxi Road occasionally; they stop and wander alone in the distance, with scattered red fluff in front of them. I secretly think of the fire virtue of Xianyang

Decline, fierce competition between dragons and tigers; At the Xiangyang meeting, Wang Sunyin was drinking, and sitting in the middle, Xuande's body was in danger. Escape alone from Ximen Road, chase after the returning general behind

Come on. A stream of misty water rises up the Tanxi River, urgently urging the cavalry to jump forward. The hooves of the horse shattered the green glass, and the golden whip swung at the sound of the sky wind. By the ear, but hearing a thousand riders

Go, suddenly two dragons flew in the waves. Xichuan dominates the true hero, and sitting down, the two dragon horses meet. Tanxi Creek flows eastward, where is the current dragon foal hero

Here! Amidst the three sighs of the flowing stream, my heart yearns for sourness; the setting sun shines silently upon the empty mountains; The three legged chaos is like a dream, with traces left empty in the world. ”Xuande leaped over the stream

West, look towards the east bank. Cai Mao has led his army to the stream and shouted, 'Why did you flee from the banquet?' Xuande said, 'We have nothing to do with you.'

Hatred, why do you want to harm each other? ”Hu said, "I have no such intention. Please don't listen to others." Xuande saw Mao's hand picking up a bow and taking an arrow, so he was anxious

Pull the horse and look southwest. Mao said to the left and right, "What kind of divine assistance is it?" Fang wanted to withdraw his army and return to the city, only to see Zhao Yun leading three hundred troops inside the west gate

Come here. Exactly: Jumping off the dragon foal can save you, chasing after the tiger general to seek revenge. Unknown about Cai Mao's life, let's listen to the following explanation.
