Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 266 Bloody Misty Pavement, Bloody Red Silk, Liaoxi Hu Burial
——Three awards!

——Cao Guoxiang governs the country well!

It's a good thing...

Cao Cao grinned and was about to laugh out loud.

While laughing, he said with emotion: "I'll just say it... officials are afraid of chaos, but I'm not afraid. The more chaos, the more I want to go. If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell!"

He's still yelling...

Unexpectedly, Menzi's next sentence directly caused Cao Cao's expression to change suddenly.

"Cao Guoxiang, the imperial court sent... the one who rewarded Cao Guoxiang is... the old man!"

Grandpa?
Cao Cao was taken aback... He met Chen Gong's eyes. "Old man, which old man?"

Except for his father... Cao Song, the great minister of agriculture in the dynasty?What other old lady could there be?
Speaking of...

The reason Cao Song came here was not for anything else...but because of Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and the Ten Permanent Attendants went to visit Cao Song in person. The meaning was very simple...that is to ask his son Cao Cao to resign.

Rather…

This is not the first wave to persuade Cao Song.

Just in the morning, a lot of officials headed by Yang Ci also came.

The meaning is clearer...

In the Han Dynasty, some things in the local area were established by convention, and they have been experienced for hundreds of years. Now...because of Cao Cao, the emperor is furious...

Next, how much trouble will there be?

When this chaos is suppressed, how many people will regard Cao Cao as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh... Is this something Cao Cao can bear?
At that time, Cao Song showed embarrassment, and the emperor was furious in the early court...but what he sent to Jinan was a commendation document...

Cao Cao must have done nothing bad in Jinan, or else the emperor would reward him in person?

But... what Yang Ci said to Zhang Rang was not unreasonable.

Cao Cao can't... really become the target of public criticism, right?

Cao Song dared to complain to Zhang Rang: "Master Hou, you don't know that every family has scriptures that are hard to recite. My son has been out of control since he was a child. He won't listen to what I say...You just ask Isn't it easy for the emperor to decree to remove him from his post?"

Cao Song was playing tricks, Zhang Rang sneered, "It seems that Cao Da Si Nong is pretending to be confused. If I, Zhang Zijing, can persuade His Majesty the Emperor to handle this matter in a short while, do I need to bother you? "

Zhang Rang's yin and yang were strange, which made Cao Song's back feel cold.Knowing a son is like a father, Cao Song certainly knows how much Cao Cao cherishes this opportunity to be an official...

Can…

This time, out of his father's instinct, Cao Song tried his best to offend two waves of people... and also made up his mind to defend his son. In the past, he always followed the eunuch blindly and betrayed his son's future.Today, he won't, never!
Cao Song shook his head firmly: I can't do it.

Zhang Rang sneered, stood up from the mat, took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms, and threw it to Cao Song: "Hmph, it can't be done? Take a look at this, maybe it will help you make up your mind."

Cao Song picked up a large roll of bamboo slips to read, which recorded when, where, who he sent, and the detailed accounts of sending the property embezzled by him and Cao Jie to Cao Jie's children... and Cao Song's own embezzlement.

To know…

Cao Song in history was the one who was able to take out a small goal and buy the "Taiwei" experience card when Emperor Han Ling sold his official title. It's Xu Xian's wife, Zou Shi, even his son Cao Cao doesn't know.

But now...

The accounts presented by Zhang Rang undoubtedly shocked Cao Song, who felt his eyes go dark and his mind went blank.

It took a long time to recover, and I couldn't help trembling all over my body. It seems that there is really no impenetrable wall in this world.

He had no time to figure out how Zhang Rang got these accounts, and he was full of one thought: "When will his Cao family be wiped out? How many people will be implicated in this?"

Zhang Rang put away the accounts and put them in the embroidered cloth bag, staring at Cao Song's pale face: "You want to ask me how I got this, right? The palace is up and down, there are a few things that can be hidden from me What's more, it's such a big deal?"

Spring...is not too hot, but Cao Song was fat and nervous, and he was already sweating profusely by then.

Zhang Rang's tone was gentle but cold: "Of course, Cao Teng...Cao Changshi is our predecessor, and we have to take care of his descendants. As long as you can persuade your son to resign, I, Zhang Zijing, will not report on it. You, otherwise... if your son does not make life easier for the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, our family will naturally not make it easier for your Cao family. If this account book... please go to His Majesty, not only will you not be able to keep your Cao family, but you will even get the reclusive Cao Jie I have to spit out this penny too. Marquis Cao Ting, I think you are a smart person, so weigh it carefully."

Cao Song suddenly fell into an abyss, and his whole body was cold.

He not only failed to protect Cao Cao, but brought him a devastating disaster.

He always taught Cao Cao to do this and that, blaming him for not knowing this or that... But now, who really doesn't understand?
It seems that those who always devote themselves to educating others are not much better than those who are educated.

All the way to Jinan...

Cao Song thought a lot in the carriage. He blamed himself for having only learned "waiting" and "forbearance" all his life, instead of learning the honesty of a father and the honesty of a son.

I am sorry for the spirit of my father in heaven, but I am not worthy of being a role model for my son!
When Cao Song saw the three commendation edicts issued by His Majesty, he was full of thoughts...

Tears are falling...

Sighing and crying, it is no exaggeration to say... Cao Song fell ill and fell asleep in Jinan.

The waves of the Yellow River are as beautiful as a belt, and the morning sun sheds a little golden light on the river, like dancing sparks.

Cao Song didn't care to watch, and listened to the endless waves day and night from the cabin, and he was afraid that the boat would dock early.

——Don't stretch out your hands for ill-gotten gains, for stretching out your hands will cause disaster.

at this time…

Cao Cao heard the door shout: "My lord, the old man is here!"

Cao Song felt aggrieved in every possible way.

Cao Cao also thought that the guards reported blindly, or that some old man claimed to be the old man in order to beg for food.

It never occurred to him that Cao Song...would come from Luoyang thousands of miles away.

So he didn't get up, and continued to chat with Chen Gong and others: "After the rice harvest this autumn, organize migrant workers to raise the Yellow River embankment..."

at this time…

The sound of "treading" footsteps came out...

Under the swaying yellow oil lamp, an elderly man, supported by a young man, stepped into the threshold of the backyard.

That young man is Cao Cao's younger brother Cao De...

As for the seemingly old man, who else could there be besides Cao Cao's father Cao Song?
At this moment, Cao Song is not as imposing and well-dressed as Da Si Nong in people's impression.With a haggard complexion and gloomy eyes, it looked like a patient who had been ill for too long was being helped out of the ward.

This is... Cao Cao's first time seeing his father so weak. His impression was that his father was fat, like a tumbler... But now, he was as thin as a piece of rotten wood chopped by a knife and axe.

"Father, why are you here? Why are you so sick?"

Cao Cao suddenly straightened while holding the wine glass, quickly put down the glass and cattail fan, crawled over the mat and hugged Cao Song.

Chen Gong and others hurriedly settled Cao Song, brought soft cushions for Cao Song to lean against the wall, and they arranged for Cao Song and the two eunuchs to have dinner.Cao Song only drank some soup, but shook his head and said he couldn't eat any more.

Everyone retreated tactfully... so that their father and son could talk privately

Cao Cao helped Cao Song into the inner room, let Cao Song lie down on the mat, and the father and son had their first conversation about resignation under the flickering of the oil lamp at night at the end of spring.

"Father, what happened? Why did you come to Jinan suddenly?"

"I'm here to ask you to resign and go back with me."

After one question and one answer, the moods of the two were completely different.

Cao Cao asked in amazement: "Why? Didn't father come with an award from His Majesty? Your Majesty has received three awards, which shows that the son has done a good job in Jinan... In the past, Luoyang Beiwei and Dun Qiuling, the children all gave up halfway. This time... a thousand It can’t be done halfway.”

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said a lot, saying that his father hadn't arrived yet, but the news of the imperial decree had spread all over Jinan...

Jinan Qingping was a grand occasion, and the common people rejoiced, beating gongs and drums to celebrate the emperor's order of commendation to Cao Cao.

this word...

Cao Song felt more and more harsh when he listened. "It's better to hang up and resign."

Cao Cao was even more surprised: "Father? Don't try to persuade me this time. Even the emperor thinks that I have done a good job. Why should I leave? Besides, the situation in Jinan has just improved, how can I leave? Jinbei disaster relief, river dredging, High Yellow River embankments…”

Cao Song shook his head and interrupted Cao Cao: Man, you are right to return to Luoyang with me.If there were no special circumstances, I would not have come so far.

Cao Cao refused: No, you heard what my son said to the emperor when I took over Yinshou.

Cao Song must not tell the truth about being blackmailed by Zhang Rang unless he had to do so.

In the end, he seemed impatient: "Anyway, you just follow me, and I will find you an official after returning to Beijing. What good is this chaotic and dangerous state of Jinan?"

Cao Cao didn't understand the meaning of Cao Song's words: "Dangerous? After your son and I have governed, if Jinan is still in danger, then it's useless! Besides... the boy did this to set an example for His Majesty, from now on , any country in chaos can be governed in this way! Only a few cruel officials are needed, and the whole man... will definitely be peaceful!"

The more Cao Song listened, the more fearful he became. He wanted to persuade him, but was interrupted by Cao Cao: "Father is too tired from the long journey, so let's rest first and talk about it tomorrow."

"No..." Cao Song wanted to call Cao Cao to stop, but the word "no..." he still didn't say it.

He... Should he persuade his son?

He...can he bet on the rise and fall of his family... this time?

"Ugh…"

The moonlight shines through the window, sprinkling the fragrance all over the place...

Cao Song lowered his head, he didn't know how to explain, he...he didn't have the face to explain to his son.

...

West Liaoning, White Wolf Mountain.

At sunset, the last piece of residual red disappeared from the sky, and the earth was dark.

After the clansman in the "Willow City" of Wuhuan Royal Court fed the livestock for the last time, they also began to eat.

"kill…"

At night, there was a sudden thunder on White Wolf Mountain.

Thousands of Qingqi were killed from the southeast and north sides of the Wuhuan King's Court. Qingqi rode white horses one by one, bowing left and right...the bows and arrows in their hands were ready to go, and the infantry behind the Qingqi...caused black dust on the ground, It made the people in the court of Wuhuan tremble with fear.

On a small hill…

Standing on a chariot, Liu Yu saw that the three white horses Yicong had already charged out. He raised the command flag, looked at the place where the battle was raging in the distance, and shouted: "Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away. kill…"

Raise the flag...

Countless chariots also rushed towards Liucheng.

all of a sudden...

The entire Wuhuan royal court was besieged on all sides, and the overwhelming rockets... reflected the sky, like thousands of stars hanging in the sky, and then suddenly fell down, igniting a fire at the tribe where they hoarded food and grass and stationed military tents.

Iron hoofs like thunder...

The sound of killing is like the tide...

Where Baima Yicong charged with the chariot, the gravel on the ground was shaken.

The high-pitched sound of slaughter echoed between the heaven and the earth, tearing apart the darkness of this land, and soldiers and horses from all directions... The mighty black waves rushed into the Wuhuan King's Court.

"broken…"

The huge power of the chariot directly crushed Wuhuan's tribe.

After two rounds of... arrows, Bai Ma Yi raised his spears one after another, and each spear... had a bloody light, as if splitting the darkness between the sky and the earth, making the world clear.

After the Wuhuan people suffered from the forging panic, they fought back...

But the Wuhuan people suddenly discovered...

These Han people riding white horses are not inferior to them in riding skills?
What's the situation?

The Han people... suddenly learned to ride and shoot?Can you still shoot left and right?
This…

However... What surprised the Hu people even more was the rear. Originally, they would often form a cavalry formation against the Han infantry, and after a round of charging, there was no scum left...

But this time...

They found that they hit the iron plate!

The infantry who were originally regarded as "scumbags" by the Hu people... Suddenly, their chariots protruded from the walls...These walls were connected and blocked the Hu Qi's first round of charge.

And... under the cover of the wall, the Han people formed an arrow array... and shot those Hu Qi who were trying to charge into hedgehogs.

"what…"

"Ah woo..."

The howls and screams of the barbarians can be heard endlessly...

The blood blends with the night, the sound of killing and cutting and screams play together.

The trembling sound of the earth became more and more deafening. Tens of thousands of Han troops marched against the raging fire. They continuously threw rockets at the tribes and cities of the Hu people. For a moment...under the dark night, the entire Liucheng City turned into a sea of ​​flames. Perhaps...it used to be The phoenix bird, reborn from the ashes, flapped its wings and soared high at this moment, but it was a pity that it could not escape the trampling of iron hooves...

Gongsun Zan...

Zhao Zilong...

The spears in their hands stabbed continuously, knocking off the Wuhuan people who were stubbornly resisting.

Cruelty to the enemy, cold blood... Eternal engraved in the blood of every soldier.

The Earth Cracks…

Wherever the Han army passed, there was only desolation left.

At this moment... Liu Yu fulfilled his promise, the ground was paved with blood, the blood turned into red silk, and he was buried in western Liaoning!

The crazy killing...still going on!
The Wuhuan people, they will not understand until they die, why...the soldiers and horses of the big man have become so brave and fearless after only one winter...The Liucheng they are proud of, the royal court where they worship the sky...That's it Easily crushed by this "invincible" Han army...

This fight lasted all night!
When the sky is shining brightly, the royal court at the foot of Wuhuan Mountain has been broken...

In the vast plain, tens of thousands...the corpses of Hu people lay on the ground. Under the ravages of Baima Yicong, chariots, rockets..., most of the Wuhuan people fell down!
"Liu Dahonghe..."

Gongsun Zan's eyes were red, and he stepped on the black ground to walk in front of Liu Yu, and said respectfully, "Sure enough, the map is accurate...the enemy was completely unprepared. In this battle, together with his family... more than [-] Wuhuan people were discovered. At least [-]% of them were trampled on each other in the chaos, and [-]% were trampled to death by livestock... More were trampled into minced meat, which cannot be accurately counted!"

"Gudong..."

Liu Yu swallowed, "Have you found Wuhuan King Qiu Liju?"
