Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 158 Cao Pi’s helpers
  In the second year of Chuping (AD 191), it finally came to an end.

In the second year since the capital was moved to Xuchang, the spirit of the new year has become much more fulfilling.

The inner city has more than doubled in size, and the outer city has exaggeratedly expanded three times.

The small Xu County has undergone earth-shaking changes in one year.

The streets are hung with red. It does have a lot of youthful flavor.

Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Prime Minister's Mansion was full of courtiers and clansmen who came to visit Cao Cao.

The main hall was full.

In the side hall, there were a lot of naughty children playing and playing.

Because of the Chinese New Year, it was a rare opportunity for a group of friends not to practice literature or martial arts, so they had a great time together.

"Zihuan, what are you doing moaning and groaning all alone? Come and see Brother Chong's iron spear. It looks impressive!"

"Xiahou Ba, please keep your voice down. Zihuan suffered a great injustice yesterday. I heard that if the champion hadn't saved his life, he would have almost been unable to survive."

After Cao Tai finished speaking, all the second generation generals stopped and gathered around Cao Pi one by one.

Xiahou Ba patted his chest and said, "Zihuan, it's the Chinese New Year, so be happy. In two days, my brother will find an excuse to go to Sima's house to vent your anger."

Cao Fu started to cheer: "This is the right thing to do. A good man repays tooth with tooth and blood for blood. Why do you sigh like a daughter?"

Cao Pi's face darkened, he stood up and clasped his fists: "Okay, this is my business alone. I don't dare to bother you brothers, so you can go play in the front yard. I am depressed and want to sit alone for a while."

Which of the second generation generals present was not an unruly and unruly person, it was okay to hear what Cao Pi said.

Half-year-old children, don’t worry about whether they really understand or pretend to understand, it’s just that the adopted son takes the lead. Especially since the parents are so close to each other, they place great importance on loyalty.

If Cao Pi kicked him out in such a dejected manner, would we all want to play together again in the future?

Cao Tai, the eldest, grabbed Cao Pi's sleeve and said loudly: "You are so depressed, since the Sima family dares to humiliate you like this, my brother will get rid of this bad breath for you now!"

"Yes, Zihuan, what do you think we should do? At worst, we can discuss it and light the Sima Mansion on fire!"

"That's right, my father is on duty today, or I go back and say something, and we will take action tonight!" Cao Fu shouted not to be outdone.

Cao Fu is the eldest son of Cao Hong. He looks very similar to his father, and his stingy temperament is also carved from the same mold as his father.

On weekdays, I am always ostracized by those around me because of my stinginess, and I don’t rush to make my presence felt when I find the right opportunity.

"No!" Cao Pi looked at his indignant friends and stood up with gritted teeth: "There is no need to implicate Uncle Cao Hong."

It wasn't that he was afraid of causing trouble to Cao Hong, but today was the first day of the new year. Let alone whether Cao Hong could stop him or not, if he really caused some trouble today, his father wouldn't be able to spare him.

"Do you really want to vent your anger on me?"

Xiahou Ba shouted: "Look what you said, we grew up together and will go to the battlefield together in the future. My father said that this is a life-and-death friendship. If you are wronged, we should take it out on you!"

"That's right! A mere Sima family really takes themselves seriously. It's easy to light them on fire!"

Cao Tai said decisively: "Shut up, all of you, and listen to what Zihuan has to say."

"Okay, if you are really serious, I will gather at the ruined temple in the western suburbs on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. I will make the Sima family pay with blood. But one thing is, if anyone is afraid and leaks the plan, don't blame Cao Pi for not treating him as a brother in the future! "

No one in the crowd was afraid, and they responded one after another.

Cao Tai frowned and asked, "I heard that Pingdong General Lu Bu was on duty on the fourth day of the lunar month. Can this man let us go and attack in the middle of the night?" Cao Pi's eyes turned cold and he said word by word: "Don't worry, I have my brother-in-law as your guarantee. This man will not stand in the way.”

When they heard about Cao Pi's brother-in-law, the naughty children seemed to have received a reassurance.

That was the champion, the most admired figure of their generation.

Cao Pi had already moved him out. If they were afraid again, what would happen?

Cao Cao was receiving guests in the main hall. At this moment, he was not in the mood to care about the backyard. He was pulling Zhang Wu to talk.

Last year, Zhang Wu was short of money, but he gave him a bodybuilding pill. This year, he was also rich and gave ten pills at once to Cao Cao to chew as jelly beans.

At this moment, the old face of the burly prime minister is almost bursting with laughter.

"Father-in-law, if I remember correctly, then Sima Lang is your prime minister's official. Why doesn't he show up on the first day of the new year?"

"Everything happens at home, I'm afraid I won't be able to get away from it. It's my fault for being naughty and causing some trouble for nothing."

Cao Cao seemed to be complaining about Cao Pi, but in fact he just didn't say it clearly.

By now, the whole story has been revealed.

Of course Cao Cao knew how Sima Min died.

If Sima Min hadn't used the word "butcher" to insult Zhang Wu, how could Cao Pi have stoned him.

Now, Cao Pi has admitted his mistake, knelt down when he should, and even almost buried Sima Min with him, but the Sima family didn't give him any face, and even had to show off some face during the New Year. Cao Cao felt that Comfort be damned.

Zhang Wu smiled and said: "Look at what I'm asking you to say. If you say that Cao Pi is naughty, wouldn't you just accept what Sima Min said on the street and compare me to a cold-blooded butcher?"

There are many generals in the hall, young and old.

Zhang Wu did not lower his voice deliberately.

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall became strangely quiet.

No matter what else, all the honorable generals who commanded the army had more or less worked under Zhang Wu.

If Zhang Wu is a cold-blooded butcher, then what have they become?

Especially Xiahou Dun, who flooded more than 30,000 Xiongnu with a huge splash of water, exploded at that time.

"Prime Minister! That bitch from the Sima family deserves to die for speaking so freely. But how could such words as a cold-blooded butcher come from the mouth of a child? It must have been taught by the adults in the mansion, and the general will kill them right away!"

Cao Cao glared: "Come back!"

The die-hard loyalists of the Han Dynasty were killed by Jia Xu, and those who came to pay New Year greetings were almost all die-hard loyalists of the Cao family, so Cao Cao no longer had so many scruples about what he said.

"The entire Sima clan in Hanoi surrendered to me and slaughtered them for no reason. How will people in the world view me, Cao Mengde, from now on! Do you have to think about the danger of annihilation before you defect to me?"

Xiahou Dun opened one eye wide and pointed at Jia Xu in the corner: "This is not easy. Let Ting Wei check him again."

Jia Xu was suddenly sweating profusely. He had already been hated by the Han Dynasty before. Outside of Xuchang, there were countless people who sympathized with the Han Dynasty and wanted to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin. Now they were targeting the prominent families in Hanoi.
  Maybe he will die before the world returns to Cao Cao.

Thinking of this, he simply pretended to be drunk, rolled his eyes, lay down on the low table and fell asleep.

Jia Xu doesn't care about the life and death of the Sima family at all. As long as he is not allowed to take action, anything will do.
