"Zirou, after the New Year, you should go to Chengdu." Yang Biao patted Zhao Wen's arm.
Suddenly, Zhao Wen's heart moved, he stopped, and turned to leave. "Why after the next year? I'm going to ask for my resignation now. I don't want to do this Situ anymore. Let whoever the emperor likes do it."
Yang Biao grabbed Zhao Wen. "Are you angry with the emperor?"
"I..." Zhao Wen thought for a while, and said, "I didn't mean that, I just..." He hesitated to speak, and finally sighed, turned to face Kunming Pool, and said nothing for a long time.
Yang Biao sighed sympathetically and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Wen Xian, why do I feel that the world is peaceful, but the current situation is even more difficult? It's even... more difficult than Huan Lingchao."
"nonsense!"
-
Cao Cao stopped in his tracks, looked at the murderous Lu Bu, and showed a bright smile.
"Marquis Wen, are you safe?"
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and it was not easy to spread it for a while.
He and Cao Cao were sworn enemies, but in the final analysis, he was the one who started the conflict.It was he who accepted the invitation of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong and attacked Cao Cao, almost killing Cao Cao.
"I'll give you a chance to take the initiative to cancel the banner of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry." Lu Bu turned around. "The wolf cavalry was built by the Son of Heaven. It has run wild for thousands of miles and is invincible. That's why you have the reputation it has today. How dare you call yourself a tiger and leopard cavalry, and rank above the wolf cavalry?"
Before Cao Cao could speak, Guo Jia laughed. "Marquis Wen disagrees with this statement. It is true that the wolf cavalry was built by the emperor, but the wolf cavalry is not the emperor's personal guard cavalry, so it may not be higher than the tiger and leopard cavalry."
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows. "Who are you? Xi Zhicai?"
"Xi Zhicai is recuperating in Kanto, so he didn't come." Guo Jia said flatly, "I'm Guo Jia, an unknown person."
Lu Bu snorted, ignored Guo Jia, and turned to Cao Chun. "Who is this?"
"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Governor Cao Chun, I have met Marquis Wen." Cao Chun cupped his hands. "Under the city of Puyang, we have met many times. It's just that the nobleman Wenhou is busy, and he leaves in a hurry every time, with his back to me. It's normal that he can't remember."
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows.
He did fight Cao Cao many times in Puyang City, winning first and then losing. Among them, the tiger and leopard cavalry were the ones who reversed the situation several times.Since Cao Chun is the Tiger and Leopard Rider, they should have seen him.
"Boy, you're crazy." Lu Bu walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. "I'm going to take a good look at you this time and see how long you can last."
"Dare not to follow orders." Cao Chun said lightly.
Lu Bu was very annoyed, and waved his hand, indicating that Cao Cao could leave.They have nothing to say, see you on the battlefield.
Seeing the three of Cao Cao being so presumptuous, not only the wolf riders on the side were very upset, but they worked hard to teach them a lesson.Even Lu Xiaohuan and the others on the side were very uncomfortable, all of them were cold-eyed, and none of them had a good face.
Seeing this, Cao Ang was anxious.As soon as Lu Bu left, he rushed to Cao Cao.
"Ah Weng, this is Shanglin Garden, don't be presumptuous."
Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ang and laughed. "Boy, that's right. I didn't embarrass Nai Gong. Your mother is here too. This time, you will live in Chang'an permanently. Do you have a place to live?"
Cao Ang was surprised and delighted. "really?"
Although the mistress, Mrs. Ding, is not his biological mother, she treats him as her own.He also regards Mrs. Ding as his biological mother and has always been close to her.He has not seen Mrs. Ding for nearly three years since he entered the court as a hostage.
When Cao Cao came, he didn't say Mrs. Ding would come.He also thought that Mrs. Ding was so quiet that she might not follow her.Unexpectedly, Cao Cao would surprise him as soon as they met.
"Can Nai Gong lie to you?" Cao Cao stared.
Cao Ang reacted immediately. "Aon, you...don't plan to go back?"
"Why do you go back? Are you being scolded?" Cao Cao shook his head sadly. "I have no way out. Life and death, honor and disgrace, all in one fell swoop."
Cao Ang naturally knew that Cao Cao's situation was not good, and he couldn't help bowing his head when he heard this sentence.
Seeing this, Cao Cao laughed, and patted Cao Ang on the shoulder vigorously. "Zhuzi, why is this so? There is no unparalleled road. Lianpo is old, and he can still dance with spears on his horse. Zhao Chongguo is over seventy years old, and he still says he is an old minister. Naigong has just entered the age of no doubt, and he has met the Holy King. Why bother?" Worried about not being successful in your work?"
He hugged Cao Ang's shoulder hard. "Do you remember what Xu Zijiang said about me?"
Cao Ang nodded. "Remember."
Cao Cao raised his head, his eyes burning. "Who wants to be a traitor in troubled times if he can be a capable minister?"
Chapter 679
Cao Ang was sad.
Behind the generosity is helplessness.It's not that Cao Cao doesn't want to stay in the Central Plains, but he can't.
After being an eunuch, Yuan Shao's former subordinates are now burdened with the misdeeds of massacring the city. Cao Cao could not gain a foothold in the court and could only choose to self-exile.
He had indeed thought about pacifying the Qiang rebellion and conquering the western generals for the great Han, but now that Liangzhou was pacified, and even the Western Regions had candidates, Cao Cao could only go to farther and more difficult places.
Jiaozhou is far away in the south, serving in Jiaozhou is like exile, not to mention that most of Jiaozhou is covered with high mountains and dense forests, making combat extremely difficult.
Whether it is the 50 Qin army conquering South Vietnam or Ma Yuan conquering Jiaozhi, it is a narrow escape.
This trip may be life and death.
"Boy, why is this so?" Cao Cao patted Cao Ang on the shoulder. "Didn't you always say that the Son of Heaven has ambitions in all directions, but Nai Gong is just taking a step ahead and leading the way for the Son of Heaven."
"Yeah." Cao Ang laughed forcefully, raised his arms, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the corner of his sleeve. "Let's go to see the emperor. Yang Gong and Zhao Gong seem to have left."
"Cai Lingshi is still here." Cao Cao turned his head and glanced, and said in a low voice, "Did the Son of Heaven not accept Cai Lingshi's entry into the palace? I think they are very close."
Cao Ang was taken aback. "Ah Weng, here is the way, you can't be presumptuous. Ling Shi is a role model for female officials. The emperor has high expectations for her. How can the love between men and women be comparable. Besides, there is no shortage of people in the palace of heaven. Those who want to enter the palace There are countless beauties, and the emperor is too troublesome."
"Really?" Cao Cao stared into the distance and looked again and again. "I don't think so."
"Aon!"
Seeing that Cao Ang was in a hurry and might change his face, Cao Cao shook his head. "Zixiu, don't blame me for talking too much. Only after meeting your mother, you know what talking too much is. Her biggest wish now is for you to marry a wife and have children, start a family and start a career. You say you are really useless, with so many women around you , there is no one you like?"
Cao Ang blushed.
Cao Cao thought for a while, and then said: "Do you think their background is not good? You really are, with our family background, do you still want to marry a woman from an aristocratic family? Even if you marry, you can..."
Cao Cao stopped suddenly, smacked his lips, and looked embarrassed.
Cao Ang pretended not to hear and looked away.
Mrs. Ding is a daughter of an aristocratic family, but after she married Cao Cao, the relationship between husband and wife was not harmonious.In her heart, Mrs. Ding has always looked down on Cao Cao and is not satisfied with this marriage.The relationship between the two was very weak, so the concubine Bian was very favored by Cao Cao, and she always handled affairs as the mistress.
This is Cao Cao's sincere words. If he is not his own son, but also the eldest son with high hopes, Cao Cao will never say it.
But he treated Mrs. Ding like his biological mother, so it was difficult for him to answer such words, so he could only pretend not to hear them.
"I heard that there are many women from Liangzhou's rich family among the female riders, so you don't like them?" Cao Cao took the initiative to change the subject. "Even if you don't have enough families to be a wife, it's okay to take concubines. You are not young anymore, there must be someone by your side. If not, you can choose one in the pass..."
"Thank you, Weng, for your concern. I understand." Cao Ang interrupted Cao Cao's rambling, signaling that Emperor Cao Cao was not far away, so he should pay attention to his words.
Cao Cao put away his old father's urging marriage, cleaned up his mood, and came to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie kept watching Cao Cao and his son talking, feeling a little indescribable in his heart.
In his previous life, he had a bad relationship with his father.In an era of fighting for fathers, his father was just an ordinary worker who was laid off in middle age, and it was very difficult to make a living by himself, which hardly helped him at all.The admiration for his father in childhood has turned into disgust in adulthood.
In this life, he has a father who is the emperor and loves him very much, but this father also failed to bring him any happiness, and even failed to protect his biological mother, making him an orphan at the age of nine.
Looking at Cao Cao and Cao Ang, he was inexplicably sympathetic and envious.
Cao Cao is also an unreliable father, but his love for Cao Ang is real.
Who said that a pity is not a husband?
"Your Majesty." Cao Cao came to him and bowed his hands in salute.
"Are you satisfied with Zixiu?" Liu Xie said with a smile, "Did the imperial court mislead my son?"
Cao Cao laughed. "Your Majesty promoted enlightenment, and the dog has benefited a lot. I am grateful."
"This is not my arrangement, but your shelter. Wang Jianshi taught him swordsmanship for your sake, and Jia Shizhong also liked his honesty, so he taught him the art of war."
Cao Cao laughed and said, "If His Majesty didn't think he was stupid and stayed by his side, how could he have such a chance."
Liu Xie did not continue this topic. "Have you become familiar with the terrain so quickly?"
"Cavalry exercises can only be arranged by Cao Chun, and you don't have to do it yourself."
"So confident?"
"It's an honor to be able to fight against wolf cavalry."
Liu Xie couldn't help laughing.Seeing that Cao Cao was so calm, he thought that Cao Cao had the ticket to win, but he just lay down and surrendered from the beginning.
Cao Cao also laughed, and said in a low voice: "Back then in Yanzhou, Cao Chun defeated Wenhou many times, and now it doesn't matter if he loses once. Even if he loses, he is still defeated by wolf cavalry, not by Wenhou."
Liu Xie's eyes flickered slightly. "Today's Marquis Wen is not the Marquis Wen of Puyang."
"Your Majesty's words are very true." Cao Cao said: "The Marquis Wen of Puyang is a lone wolf who travels thousands of miles alone, and he is the sworn enemy of my minister. Even though I am weak, I will fight him forever. Now Marquis Wen is your majesty's horse. The wolf dog devours the minions of the world. Even if I have the hatred of overthrowing the state, I will not fight against him."
Liu Xie secretly praised.
Although Lu Bu has improved a lot recently, compared with Cao Cao, there is still a big gap.
Look at people's attitude, how big is the pattern.
Liu Xie and Cao Cao chatted about the battle in Suiyang, and learned some details that were not mentioned in the military newspaper.Regarding Zhang Xi's remarks, Cao Cao did not mention a word.
Liu Xie saw it and didn't ask any more questions.
He knew what Cao Cao meant.Just now, I just showed my fangs to Yang Biao and others, telling them not to push people too much.Personally, he didn't intend to be disrespectful to the dead.
He himself has nothing to do with it, but his son Cao Ang will still be an official in the court.
Being presumptuous in front of Yang Biao and others, but not uttering a word behind Yang Biao and others' backs, Yang Biao and others will be more or less relieved when such a thing is heard, I'm sorry for going too far share.
"Yuan Shao withdrew his troops, Shandong Taiping, what's your plan? Is it in the court or in the opposition?"
"The minister is willing to be by the side."
"Which side do you want to be on?"
Cao Cao was silent for a moment. "As Your Majesty wishes."
Liu Xie smiled and looked at Guo Jia who was on the side. "If I'm right, your plan should be south, right?"
The corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched lightly, and he slightly lowered his jaw. "Your Majesty's eyes are like lightning, and the world is clear in his chest. There are Liu Bei in the east, Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying in the west, Xun Gongda in the north, and only the south has no generals."
Liu Xie was noncommittal. "Has anyone ever told your fortune?"
"No."
"Then let me do the math for you. The south is humid and hot, and the jungle is full of miasma. If you go to the south, you may not live to be forty."
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There are still ten years to use, that's enough."
Chapter 680 The Bystander Clear
Liu Xie raised his eyebrows. "I just heard you say that Xi Zhicai is recovering from illness?"
He is somewhat curious.According to the history books, Guo Jia was recommended by Xun Yu to enter Cao Cao's shogunate after Xi Zhicai died of illness, and it was after Cao Cao became Sikong.
But history has changed, Cao Cao has no chance to be Sikong again, Guo Jia has already appeared beside Cao Cao, and has overlapped with Xi Zhicai's life.
In terms of time, it seemed that this was before he came to this time and space.
Is there an error in the historical records, or...
With a smile on his face, Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia intently, whether he was nervous or looking forward to it.
"Yes." Guo Jia said lightly.
Liu Xie pondered for a moment. "What's wrong with him?"
"Overwork." Cao Cao sighed, and said, "Xi Zhicai planned military affairs for my ministers. The affairs were complicated, and he worked day and night. As a result, he lost both energy and blood, and became sick due to overwork."
Liu Xie looked at them carefully and did not continue this topic.
If it is as he guessed, it is he who is in the light and the other party is in the dark.As long as the other party doesn't want to expose it, it is difficult for him to find out anything from the language.
But if he can't find anything in language, it doesn't mean that he will never show his feet, unless he is willing to fully integrate into this era and not show a little bit of glory.
Liu Xie immediately talked to Cao Cao about Du Tian.
Cao Cao expressed his attitude cautiously.
He recognized the legitimacy of Du Tian, after all, even a family with a large amount of land could not legally object to Du Tian.But the difficulty of Dutian should not be underestimated.The aristocratic family can't object on the surface, but it doesn't mean they can't do some tricks secretly.
Chen Gong, Yan Xiang and others tried Du Tian, but the probability of success is very low.
It's not that they are obedient and obedient, but that they don't have enough clever means.They are all excellent counselors, but not excellent prefects.
