Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In early 240 AD, the Wei State raised troops to attack Sun Quan in Shu. Sun Quan had a grudge against the governor Lu Xun over the matter of establishing a prince, which led to great chaos in Shu. The Zitong defense line was broken by Deng Ai, the general of Wei's expedition to the west. The army reached Chengdu, but Sun Quan retreated due to lack of troops.  Stationed in Nanzhong.  In May of the same year, Jiang Wei, the general of Wei Guo's southern expedition, led his troops to break through the Yong'an defense line and capture all of Dongchuan. The army reached Nanzhong, intending to capture Sun Quan's last line of defense.  In June of the same year, Wei's cavalry general Lu Wang led an army of 50,000 to Nanzhong and captured Jianning County. Sun Quan continued to flee south to the hinterland of Manzhong.  At this time, Lu Rui was holding a bamboo slip and reading the battle report in the Luoyang Taifu's house.  At this time, Lu Rui was already over fifty years old, with silver threads in his hair and in good health. He was sitting alone by the fish pond in the garden.  Fifteen years have passed and too many things have happened in these years.  In 236 AD, the first year after Cao Rui was established as the crown prince, Cao Ang died. Cao Rui ascended the throne, changed his reign to Daxing, and became the third emperor of Cao Wei. Mi was posthumously named the Queen Mother.  Lu Rui was granted the title of Grand Tutor and General of the Hussars. Due to his achievements in the three dynasties, Lu Rui did not need to avoid Cao Rui's name. He could still use the name Rui to show Cao's favor and assist Cao Rui.  Five years later, Lu Rui returned power to Cao Rui, and he took an official position and raised fish and flowers in Luoyang.  The next ten years were a year in which relatives passed away one after another.  Cao Pi and Cao Zhang died successively, and Cao Rui was granted the title of king and bestowed upon his children.  Later, Cao Jie, who had been with Lu Rui for many years, also passed away. Cao Rui named Cao Jie the Princess Wu of Wei and gave official titles to Cao Jie's two sons: Lu Wang and Lu Shang.  In the tenth year of the Daxing Dynasty, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen died successively, and Sima Yi, the governor of Hanoi, was granted the title of General Zhengbei.  Stationed in Hanoi.  Resist the attack of Han Dynasty.  Xiahou Ba took over Cao Xiu's position.  He served as the general who conquered the east to guard Yangzhou and resist Baiyue.  Xiahou Shangjin was granted the title of General of the Empress and the Mud of Jiaozhou. He pacified the Shi clan in Jiaozhou and established a garrison in southern Xinjiang.  "Master Marquis, there is a woman outside the door asking to see her. She says she is the daughter-in-law of an old friend of Marquis, and she came to see her." Just when Lu Rui was thinking deeply.  A young man came in and reported to Lu Rui.  This person is Xu Shu's son Xu Fang, who has now succeeded Xu Shu as the steward of Lu Rui's house. Lu Rui's old friend Xu Shu also passed away years ago.  "An old friend's daughter-in-law?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he had been cultivating in Luoyang for many years and his old friend's daughter-in-law came to visit him.  "Let her come in. I also want to meet my old friend's wife." Lu Rui smiled slightly. This person's way of visiting was really special. He announced that he was his old friend's wife.  "Yes, Lord Marquis!" Xu Fang bowed her hand, then left the house and brought a middle-aged woman into the inner courtyard.  "My concubine, Mrs. Zhang, has met Mr. Hou!" "Ms. Zhang?" Lu Rui looked up at the woman.  Who is Zhang?  It seemed that Lu Rui could not recognize this woman.  It shouldn't be a family that frequents each other.  "Who are you?" Lu Rui threw the feed into the fish pond, clapped his hands and stood up. This woman really had no impression.  "Reporting to Lord Marquis, I am the wife of General Yamen Xu Yizhi, and my father-in-law is Xu Chu, the former General Huwei." Mrs. Zhang bowed to Lu Rui and told her life experience.  It turned out to be Xu Chu's daughter-in-law and Xu Yi's wife.  "Oh? It turns out she is Xu Yi's wife. I haven't seen that fat boy for a long time. How is he doing now?" Lu Rui nodded. Xu Yi, the fat boy, used to come to his house to play when he was a child. He should be in his thirties now.  .  "Please Lord Marquis, please save our general. Our general is about to be beheaded." Mrs. Zhang cried to Lu Rui in tears.  It turned out that Lu Wang led Jiang Wei and Deng Ai to attack Shu. Zhong Hui and Sima Shi were appointed as grain inspectors to transport grain and grass to Shu. The land of Shu was difficult and it was difficult to reach the sky, so Cao Rui sent Xu Yi to inspect the official roads.  , it is convenient for Zhonghui and Sima Shi to transport grain.  However, a bridge that Xu Yi was repairing suddenly broke when Zhong Hui and Sima Division were transporting grain and grass. The transportation road was blocked. Zhong Hui and Sima Division were furious and wanted to behead Xu Yi. Now they have taken Xu Yi to the prison of Xu Du.  Among them, preparations were made to behead him in three days.  "Please, for the sake of my father-in-law, please save my general." Mrs. Zhang cried and bowed to Lu Rui three times.  "Okay, I know about this. I will rescue your general, but you will have to bear a little punishment." Lu Rui helped Zhang up and squinted his eyes. Master Sima also joined in.  It seems that something is fishy.  "Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Mrs. Zhang was delighted when she saw that Lu Rui was willing to agree, and gave another big gift to Lu Rui.  After sending Zhang away, Lu Rui went to the palace in person to ask Cao Rui for orders to give Xu Yi a lighter sentence.  When Cao Rui saw Lu Rui coming to plead for mercy, he naturally agreed. He removed Xu Yi from his official position and gave Xu Yi the position of school captain to start over. In view of Xu Chu's achievements, Xu Yi's title was still retained.  After dealing with Xu Yi¡¯s matter, Zhong Hui was also brought to the Taifu Mansion by Xu Fang.  "The child has met grandpa, why does grandpa plead for Xu Yi?"?At a time when the country was in crisis, Brother Wang was attacking Sun Quan in Shu. The supply of military supplies was a major military matter. Why did grandpa want to keep Xu Yi and not uphold the laws of the country?  "Zhong Hui has been spoiled by Zhong Yao since he was a child, and he dares to yell in front of Lu Rui. "Shi Ji, Master Sima has the same idea as you, right?  Want to behead Xu Yi to rectify the law of the country?  "Lu Rui smiled slightly. Zhong Hui, who had just turned fifteen, was still too young and fell into someone else's trap all of a sudden. "General Sima puts national affairs first. Grandpa still has doubts?  "Zhong Hui was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Rui doubtfully. "Doubts?  Shi Ji, I heard that you are just the rear grain officer. Most of the military supplies have been transported to Hanzhong by the Sima Division. Your troops have just passed through the Zhouqiao where the grain is transported. If the Zhouqiao is damaged, why not transport the grain to the Sima Division?  If the time breaks, something will happen while you are transporting food?  "Lu Rui threw the information collected by Xu Fang to Zhong Hui. "This?  "Zhong Hui took the information, took a look at it, and immediately understood in his heart that he was probably being plotted by Sima Division. If there was something wrong with the bridge Xu Yi repaired, Sima Division's army would definitely find it when it passed by, but now it is his own team  The bridge broke after passing by it. The time between the two was only one day, so it was most likely that Master Sima broke it himself, rather than Xu Yi making a mistake in repairing the bridge.  Want to report!  " "Shiji is still young and has many things to learn. Sima's revenge must be avenged, but Shiji must use more strategies and don't leave any excuses for others. Just go ahead and do it. Grandpa will support Shiji.  " "Thank you, grandpa!  "Zhong Hui bowed his hands and left Lu Rui's mansion. Looking at Zhong Hui's figure, Lu Rui smiled. His cheap grandson is a bit like Fa Zheng. He must retaliate. Although he is young and impulsive, he still has some ambitions.  , but it would be a good choice to let Zhong Hui try Sima Yi and his two sons. In the spring of 241 AD, Lu Wang led the army to invade the hinterland of Nanzhong. Sun Quan died of illness, and his descendants Sun He surrendered. Wu State in Shuzhong was officially conquered by Wei State.  After hearing the news that Cao Rui was seriously ill, Lu Rui quickly changed his clothes and brought Dian Man to the palace.  Outside Rui's bedroom, Lu Rui heard the sound of joking, "Lang Di?  !  "Lu Rui glared at Qin Lang. It turned out that Qin Lang was teasing the maid outside Cao Rui's palace. "Brother Rui?  !  "Qin Lang was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Rui, and quickly adjusted his clothes. As Cao Cao's adopted son, Qin Lang was still very afraid of Lu Rui. "Hey!  "Lu Rui shook his head and entered Cao Rui's palace. Qin Lang is really a political idiot. No wonder Cao Rui won't let Qin Lang assist the government. Your little brother can't bear it? "Old minister, see your majesty!  "Lu Rui entered the palace and saw the dying Cao Rui lying on the bed, with several chamberlains serving him. "Uncle is here?  Everyone, please step aside. I have something to say to my uncle!  "Cao Rui waved his hand and asked the chamberlain to retreat. "Your Majesty!  "Lu Rui stepped forward and glanced at Cao Rui. He was already looking back. "My uncle is an important minister of the three dynasties, my grandfather's adopted son, and my uncle. Now the great cause of Cao Wei has to be entrusted to my uncle again.  "Cao Rui coughed a few times and took Lu Rui's hand. "I am already old. Your Majesty, please make a careful decision!  "Lu Rui held Cao Rui's hand and didn't know what to say. He had already experienced too many separations from his relatives. Even Cao Rui had to leave. He didn't know how to express his feelings. "Asu is not a great weapon, you young generals.  They are all guarding the border. I have decided to make Cao Shuang the general, Sima Yi the captain, my uncle the tutor, and the hussar general to assist the new emperor. I wonder what my uncle wants?  "Cao Rui glanced at Lu Rui, hoping to get the answer from Lu Rui's eyes. "Your Majesty is wise, and the old ministers have no objections. It is not easy for Your Majesty to let go of his feelings. Your Majesty is already a true emperor!  "Lu Rui sighed, but it's a pity that Cao Rui still has to leave. "Uncle's wisdom, coupled with his loyalty, Cao Wei will definitely last for generations!  "Cao Rui's eyes filled with tears and he held Lu Rui's hand tightly. "Your Majesty, take a good rest. I have resigned.  "Lu Rui put down Cao Rui's hand, covered Cao Rui with a quilt, and exited the palace. After Lu Rui left, Cao Rui pushed the incense burner next to the bed to the ground, and the incense ashes scattered on the ground. The tiger who was ambushing in the palace  The Leopard Cavalry came out, Cao Rui waved his hand, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry retreated. Cao Rui had already arranged the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the palace. If Lu Rui disagreed with Tuogu's choice, Cao Rui would take action.  , Facts have proved that Cao Rui judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, but this is also a manifestation of Cao Rui's growth into an emperor. In the emperor's family, only the imperial power is supreme, and Cao Rui's performance makes Cao Rui.I was so ashamed that I didn't expect that Lu Rui would do the right thing by comforting Cao Rui.  In the summer of 241 AD, Cao Rui died of illness, and Cao Shuang became a general. Together with Taiwei Sima Yi and Taifu Lu Rui, he assisted the new king Cao Fang.  This is the political situation that Cao Rui left to contain each other, after the two old men Lu Rui and Sima Yi restrained Cao Shuang, a clan member.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
