Mi Han

Chapter 282
Thinking back to the Battle of Hanzhong, when Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought against Hanzhong, and saw that Liu Bei ordered Liu Feng to challenge the generals of the Wei army, Cao Cao was so angry that he yelled at Liu Bei:
"Selling shoes and sheds, the chief will make the fake son reject your father!"

Cao Cao himself is a very strategic person, and he is quite skilled in cursing others. Liu Bei was also very angry after learning of Cao Cao's insulting words to him.

It's a pity that Cao Pi, as Cao Cao's successor, not only failed to inherit Cao Cao's grand strategy, but he didn't even learn the technique of Cao Cao's curse.

After Cao Pi kicked over the book case because of the huge shame and anger in his heart, he could only call Mi Yang a traitor and a traitor over and over again.

The leader of the usurping Han called General Zuo a traitor and a traitor. If such a thing was recorded in the history books, how many people would laugh at Cao Pi in the future.

But now Cao Pi, who is in a rage, doesn't care whether there is something wrong with his insulting words, he has already lost his mind due to Mi Yang's coquettish operation.

According to the intelligence, there are many teams of Han army Qingqi wandering around Nanyang County holding two wooden signs.

And whenever a group of Han army Qingqi arrived outside a county, the Han army Qingqi would face the city wall and read aloud the two sentences on the plaque: "Thieves are afraid of Han like tigers, and they are really women's behavior" .

They are afraid that the defenders of the city will not know what is written on the wooden sign.

What's even more exasperating is that there is also a well-equipped cavalry squad of the Han army, with a brocade box containing a woman's costume, swaggering towards Wancheng.

Of course, there are a large number of Wei troops guarding inside and outside Wancheng, so it is impossible for this cavalry army of the Han army to really come near Wancheng.

They took Wancheng as the direction, and spread the news that the emperor of the Han Dynasty gave gifts to the Lord who rebelled against Wei.

Because the brocade box was open, all the objects inside were clearly seen by officials at all levels on the city wall when the cavalry of the Han army passed outside the county seat.

In the brocade box, there are pearls, hairpins, rouge and gouache, everything that my daughter needs to dress up.

Originally, these were prepared by Mi Yang for Guan Yan.

The chiefs of the various counties in Nanyang County, after seeing this scene and thinking about the two words that have been widely spread recently, they don't know who the Han army gave this women's clothing to in Wancheng.

But just knowing it makes the officials at all levels of Wei feel terrified.

The light cavalry army is as if they have entered the land of no one, and they dare to be so arrogant.

Even dare to humiliate the emperor Cao Pi directly, comparing him to a woman?

And it was precisely because Cao Pi knew that Mi Yang compared him to a woman had caused a stir in Nanyang County, so he felt extremely angry.

It is a great shame and shame for a man who is seven feet tall to be compared to a woman, not to mention that he is still the emperor.

Now this kind of shame and humiliation is spreading widely in Nanyang County, and it will not take long for it to spread throughout the Central Plains, and finally spread throughout the world.

He, Cao Pi, is about to become the laughing stock of the world.

Mi Yang gave him women's clothing today, which made him feel more humiliated than before when Cao Pi found out that he was cheated by Meng Da.

Because Meng Da paid too much for his decisiveness, Cao Pi believes that he can be understood by the world.

But now that Mi Yang sent her women's clothing, he slapped him in the face directly in front of the world. How could Cao Pi endure such a shame?

Cao Pi, who was flushed with anger, looked at Chen Jiao with a pair of eyes full of coldness. He tried his best to keep some rationality, so that he could say a complete sentence.

"Why don't you send troops to stop the cavalry of the thief army, why!"

Cao Pi almost shouted this question to Chen Jiao.

Moreover, his words were full of bitter chill. When the chill in Cao Pi's words was captured by Chen Jiao, he, who was already in the cold winter season, couldn't help shivering.

When Chen Jiao's eyes met Cao Pi's, which was jumping with angry flames, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down to Cao Pi.

At this moment, any literati style is not important.

Fortunately, Chen Jiao is not a person like Chen Qun who has no military knowledge. Facing Cao Pi's angry questioning, Chen Jiao quickly organized his words to answer Cao Pi:

"Before, His Majesty ordered all the cities in Nanyang County to be guarded and not to go to war without the emperor's orders.

Therefore, when the counties saw the enemy's small cavalry, they did not stop them. "

"Even if there is a county magistrate who wants to attack the enemy's small cavalry, the enemy's cavalry are all light cavalry, coming and going like the wind, our army can't do it!"

"And after Wancheng received the news, it was too late, the news had already spread!"

Chen Jiao's explanation undoubtedly added a handful of salt to Cao Pi's wound.

It turns out that he himself has "credit" for the current situation.

Before Jia Xu left, he had admonished Cao Pi to "replace attack with defense", so Cao Pi issued that order just now.

But what I didn't expect was that this order helped the Han army instead.

Thinking of this, Cao Pi felt that his liver hurt from anger.

Cao Pi looked at Chen Jiao who was kneeling down to explain to him, and he pointed at Chen Jiao with his finger. Seeing this scene, Chen Jiao turned pale with fright.

Chen Jiao thought that Cao Pi was going to kill him to vent his anger.

After Cao Pi pointed Chen Jiao and tried to calm down some emotions, he squeezed out four words from his teeth:

"Call the ministers! Call the ministers!"

Hearing Cao Pi's order, Chen Jiao immediately got up and ran out of the hall as if he had been pardoned.

Chen Jiao's actions were very urgent. He had never seen Cao Pi so angry. He felt that if he was a moment late, Cao Pi would kill him to sacrifice the flag.

Chen Jiao is very witty, he knows why Cao Pi called the group of ministers at this time.

Even though he knew that it was irrational, Chen Jiao still didn't dare to persuade him at all.

He doesn't want to die.

Before the threat of death, Chen Jiao, who has always been known for his outspokenness and courage, decisively chose to act in accordance with Cao Pi's orders.

And when Chen Jiao left, Cao Pi caught sight of the message in his hand again out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help covering his chest angrily.

If you can't bear it, then you don't need to bear it anymore!

Thinking that this incident will be recorded in the history books in the future and become a stain on his life, Cao Pi's heart hurts.

Under Chen Jiao's summoning, all the ministers currently in Wancheng quickly came towards the hall where Cao Pi was located.

Along the way, the ministers all had expressions of shame and resentment on their faces.

The fact that Mi Yang sent women's clothing to Cao Pi has already spread in Nanyang County, so it is natural that they can't hide it from them.

The Lord worries about the humiliation of his ministers, and the Lord humiliates his ministers to death.

It's just that under the expression of shame and indignation, there is still a look of worry hidden.

The ministers of Cao Wei who are currently in Wancheng are all people with extraordinary knowledge. Of course they know what Mi Yang is doing.

It was nothing more than to anger Cao Pi and let him order Zhang Liao to send troops.

Although the ministers of Cao and Wei didn't think that Zhang Liao's troops would surely lead to defeat, but the Lord should not mobilize his troops out of anger, this is the truth that everyone knows.

Based on what the ministers of Cao Wei knew about Cao Pi, they believed that Cao Pi would probably order Zhang Liao to send troops in a fit of anger.

That's why they're worried.

Some acquainted ministers exchanged ideas with each other before entering the hall. They made an appointment for a while, and if Cao Pi insisted on sending troops, they would join in admonition.

It's just that when the ministers entered the hall one after another, seeing the mess in front of Cao Pi, fear appeared on the faces of all the ministers.

How angry is His Majesty?
How can this be admonishment!
Cao Pi sat on the throne with a gloomy face and watched the ministers arrive one after another.

During the time just waiting for the arrival of the ministers, Cao Pi managed to regain his composure on the surface.

It's just that his face was still gloomy and terrifying.

When most of the courtiers had arrived, Cao Pi said in a hoarse voice to all the important ministers present:
"I am determined to order General Wei to send troops to repel the bandits."

After saying this, Cao Pi looked at the ministers present with chilling eyes and continued:
"Today, all the ministers must present me with a military strategy."

When Cao Pi finished saying this sentence, the faces of the ministers of Cao Wei present were shocked.

They had guessed that Cao Pi would furiously raise troops under Mi Yang's actions, but they didn't expect Cao Pi to be in such an urgent mood that he would come up with a specific strategy for advancing troops today.

Although the ministers knew that Cao Pi's move was unwise, most of them didn't dare to come out to persuade them when they saw Cao Pi's extremely gloomy face.

It's just that among the hundreds of ministers present, there are still some people who are upright and upright, and they really have the great Wei Sheji in their hearts.

Bao Xun, who was the servant and captain of the consort at the time, came out to remonstrate with Cao Pi: "The most urgent thing now is to defend the border. It is not appropriate to take the initiative to send troops."

Bao Xun, whose name is Shuye, is a descendant of a famous family in Taishan County.

Bao Xun's father is Bao Xin, and Bao Xin is a good friend of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei Dynasty. Bao Xin contributed a lot to Cao Cao's becoming the lord of Yanzhou.

Later, Bao Xin died in battle because of saving Cao Cao. It can be said that Bao Xin is Cao Cao's life-saving benefactor.

Because of Bao Xin, after Bao Xun became an adult, Cao Cao promoted Bao Xun a lot, and made him Cao Pi's middle-class son to assist him when Cao Pi was still the prince.

But it is a pity that Bao Xun has an upright personality and is not afraid of power, so he has offended Cao Pi several times. For this "minister of the hidden residence", Cao Pi is not dissatisfied with him, but has resentment towards him.

Even because of his own resentment, as the prince, he secretly made a conspiracy to prevent Bao Xun from being promoted.

Cao Pi, who wanted to kill people, saw that Bao Xun, who had always disobeyed him in the past, dared to disobey him face to face at this time, his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

He stood up with a sneer, walked slowly to Bao Xun and asked him: "If our army doesn't attack, are we going to wait for the enemy to kill himself?"

"If this is the case, what is the prestige of our Great Wei Dynasty!"

Most of the ministers of Cao Wei who were present at the scene could hear that Cao Pi had murderous intentions at this time. Bao Xun could not hear it, but he, who was dedicated to the Cao family, still persisted in admonishing him:

"Emperor Wu was alive, he always used his wisdom, and never used his emotions.

Your Majesty inherits the great industry, and justly follows the previous generation, so that it will be possible for all generations to come.How can you do military affairs in the midst of anger!

"In the past, the king's master had repeatedly recruited but failed to overcome it. It is because there are many talented people in the south, and it is difficult to get rid of the mountains and rivers.

This year, the rider died, and his head was on the south bank, but he has not yet been found. Now His Majesty marched in anger, and his ministers broke their courage.

If there is any discord, Nanyang will be in danger, and now it is laborious to attack far away, spending thousands of dollars every day, and China is wasted, making the crooked captives play prestige, and the ministers secretly think it is impossible.

The minister risked his death to hear about it, but His Majesty only observed it. "

Bao Xun's remonstrance made all the ministers present change color.

Bao Xun not only stated in his remonstrance that Cao Pi sent troops out of emotion, but also stated that if he sent troops in this way, he might end badly.

Cao Pi might not accept such remonstrance in the past, let alone now?

After Cao Pi listened to Bao Xun's advice, the anger he had been suppressing could no longer be controlled.

He immediately turned around and picked up a stack of bamboo slips from the ground, then slammed them on Bao Xun's head.

This stack of bamboo slips was sent from all over the country, one of the household registration fields.

When the heavy bamboo slip fell on Bao Xun's head, blood flowed from Bao Xun's head instantly, and Bao Xun was also knocked to the ground by the sudden bamboo slip.

The bright red blood on Bao Xun's head did not calm down Cao Pi. Instead, he pointed at the bamboo slips on the ground furiously, and shouted loudly at Bao Xun:
"Open your eyes and see, the national power of our dynasty recorded on this bamboo slip! The national power of our dynasty is more than ten times that of the south. With this national power, how can our army lose!"

"Great Wei is the Zhengshuo of China, and I am the orthodox emperor of China, the emperor who is ordered by the heavens! Today, the thief dares to humiliate me. As my subject, you don't share my worries. You want me to turn a blind eye to this matter." No?"

When Cao Pi yelled these words at Bao Xun who had just gotten up, all the officials in the hall fell silent.

They knew that Cao Pi's words were not only for Bao Xun, but also for them.

"I know that Mi Yang and Guan Yu are trying to lure me to fight, but so what. The bandit army has [-] troops. Could it be that Wei's army is weaker than them?"

"The rebel army, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other powerful generals, don't I have Wei Wei? Since the rebel army wants to fight so much, then I will help them!"

After saying the above words, Cao Pi turned around and looked at Bao Xun whose face was already covered in blood, and the fierce look on his face was no longer concealed.

"As for you, Bao Xun, you are so unforgivable to speak up in front of me with the intention of disturbing the morale of the army."

"Come on! Drag Bao Xun down and put him in jail!"

When Cao Pi issued this order, the soldiers of the Wei Army in the hall immediately stepped forward like wolves and tigers to tie up Bao Xun.

And Cao Pi's order also frightened all the ministers present.

Immediately, many ministers came out to intercede for Bao Xun, including Sima Yi, Xin Pi, Wei Zhen, Gao Rou, Chen Jiao and so on.

No matter how bad Bao Xun was, he was also from a famous family, and they, who were also members of the noble family, could not remain indifferent to his unjust killing.

"Father Xun has contributed to Taizu, please forgive him."

In the past, if so many ministers came out to advise, Cao Pi would definitely consider it.

But now, Cao Pi, who has been overwhelmed by anger and rationality, angrily reprimanded these family ministers whom he relied heavily on in the past:
"Xun has nothing to live for! You are almost dead!"

Cao Pi's angry reprimand successfully deterred the ministers present. They stopped pleading and watched Bao Xun being dragged away with blood on his face.

When Bao Xun was dragged away, he didn't beg for mercy, but let out bursts of desolate laughter.

Taizu, why didn't he set up Pingyuanhou at the beginning!

Bao Xun's loud laughter before his death kept floating in the hall, making many ministers feel fear in their hearts.

After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, for the first time he showed his cruelty to the nobles. If Cao Cao had a spirit in heaven to see this scene, he would be happy.

But if Cao Cao's spirit in heaven knew that Cao Pi's ruthlessness was used on Bao Xun, the son of his benefactor, I don't know what he would think.

After Bao Xun was dragged away, no minister dared to dissuade Cao Pi.

Cao Pi looked at the ministers present with his red eyes, and he issued the last edict of the day:
"Prepared imperial edict: Order Zhang He, General of the Left, Xu Chu, General of Wuwei, and order to come to Wancheng quickly."

Since you want to fight, let's fight in an upright manner.

I want you to see the national power of our Great Wei, and I want you to know what is called a teacher who hangs people and destroys crimes.

I want you to die this time!

　good night everybody.
