Demon of the Three Kingdoms

() Cao Jie, but due to the death of Hanling Emperor, Dong Zhuo went to Beijing to control the court, so this Spring Festival is not easy for the Cao family!For other families, changes in the court are not a big deal, but for the Cao family, the stability of the court is the biggest backer of the Cao family. If the political situation is unstable, the wealth of the Cao family will be in danger. Everyone was sitting in their respective positions with heavy expressions.

The children of the Cao family were all around their mothers, playing with the toys in their hands, blinking their eyes from time to time, looking at the people around them, not knowing what happened.Lu Rui also got a seat, the first seat on the right under the main seat, Lord Hou, I have to be treated like Master Hou!

Cao Song fought for his big belly on the main seat, then looked at the crowd and asked, "Why, Yuan Rang hasn't come yet?"

Just as Cao Cao was about to reply, Xiahou Dun rushed in hurriedly, wiped off his sweat and said, "Uncle Cao, brother, I'm here!"

Cao Song saw Xiahoudun, nodded, and said, "Okay, Yuan Rang is here, everyone is here, take a rest, ask the servants to go out, and let's start." The housekeeper nodded, waved his hand, and started Clean up the servants.

Xiahou Dun saw that Cao Cao actually had a few scars on his face, hehe, of course this was left by Lu Rui's beating, Hua Tuo would not leave scars, but it is still in the recovery stage of applying medicine!Xiahou Dun laughed loudly and said, "Brother, did Ruier cause the scar on your face? Ruier, you don't know where to start, hehe, brother, you won't be disfigured?"

When Cao Cao heard it, he felt bitter again. Nainai, I knew I wouldn’t praise Rui’er. This little brat spread the word everywhere. Now the Cao family in Qiao County, not the whole Qiao County, knows that I, Cao Mengde, was whipped by my adopted son. It’s embarrassing. Shame on you.

Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Cao Song shook his head, Meng De is still young, how can such things praise children?What do children know?Isn't it advertised everywhere?Young and energetic, although he is resourceful, he is always impatient, let him go out to exercise!Cao Song pressed his hands and said, "Yuan Rang, stop talking, your eldest brother is already like this, brother, just let him go."

Xiahou Dun arched his hands and replied respectfully: "Yes, Uncle Cao!" Then he sat down.Cao Song's prestige in Cao's family is still very high. Cao Song is a virtuous and corporal person, so he naturally won the hearts of many people.Lu Rui's evaluation of him was: round belly, scheming!

Cao Song saw that everyone was quiet, and the housekeeper had finished cleaning up the servants.After coughing a few times, he started to get to the point. Cao Song said: "Everyone, now that the late emperor has passed away and Dong Zhuo is in charge of the government, the future of my Cao family is unclear. What do you think?"

As soon as Cao Song's words fell, Cao Cao stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Father, all uncles and brothers, I have been favored by three generations of the Cao family and the court. Now the court is in trouble. I am determined to spend all my wealth and raise troops to serve the king. Uncles and brothers support Meng De!" After speaking, I bowed to everyone!

As soon as this remark came out, everyone began to discuss. After a while, Cao Song also expressed his position and said: "What Meng De said is true. The court is not here, and my Cao family is not rich. I am determined to use the wealth of the Cao family to build a Team, enter King Jingqin!"

As soon as Cao Song finished speaking, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan immediately stood up and said, "My two brothers are also willing to support the eldest brother, and rise up to serve the king!"

Seeing the two brothers express their views, Lu Rui also waved the wooden sword in his hand and shouted: "Father Zhong, rise up, Ruier Fan County also rise up, lead the troops to help Father Zhong, kill kill kill!"

Seeing Lu Rui with the wooden sword in Luan Wu's hands, Cao Cao hugged Lu Rui and said, "Rui'er is so good, so good!"

Cao Chun, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong also brought their families to express their agreement to Cao Cao's army.

Cao Song looked at the other people who didn't express their views, and said with a glare, "Five-year-old children know how to fight for the king's righteousness. Are you even inferior to children? The court is not here, and my Cao family's wealth is not here!"

When the rest of the people heard Cao Song's words "the court is not here, my Cao family is not here", they all agreed with Cao Jie. For the Cao family in Qiaojun, it was an unusual Spring Festival. Most of the money sold by the Cao family and Lu Rui came to Chenliu to recruit soldiers, while the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers returned to their respective villages and began to recruit young men.

At Chen Liu's recruiting office, Cao Cao's deputy general is in charge of recruiting soldiers, while Lu Rui and Cao Cao are gambling in the camp!

"Hey, I won again, Father Zhong, I won again, ten soldiers!" Lu Rui clapped his hands happily, smiling like a flower.

Cao Cao threw the white pieces in his hand, and lost again, and lost another ten soldiers. It turned out that Lu Rui and Cao Cao were playing Go, a gambling game. Cao Cao's chips were ten soldiers in each game, and Lu Rui's chips It is borrowing Dianwei to Cao Cao for ten days!

Cao Cao looked at Lu Rui's happy look, then looked at the sturdy Dian Wei next to him, and shook his head, alas, I didn't get any benefits, but I lost a hundred soldiers, ten rounds, and lost a full ten rounds, Rui Er Didn't you just learn Go?Let him have ten pieces, and the game is completely defeated, alas, it seems that Rui'er is really talented, she is so talented in chess!

Cao Cao smiled at Lu Rui, then moved his body, and said, "Rui'er, you see that you have won so many things from Father Zhong, so why don't you borrow this Dian Wei from Father Zhong for three days?"

Lu Rui looked at Cao Cao and cursed in his heart: Father Zhong, can't you not be so greedy?In the future, you will be a warrior like a cloud, and you will always think about my evil, do you know that you are the one who killed the evil in history!Looking at Cao Cao's old bust-like appearance, Lu Rui shook his head and said, "No, no, if Father Zhong loses, he can't borrow Dianwei, and he won't lend it!" He was about to cry.

Cao Cao saw that the situation was not right. If Lu Rui cried, the news would definitely spread. How could he save himself by then?It was indecent to bet on military generals with his adopted son in the military camp, but he lost another hundred soldiers and spread the word?No, no, this must not exist!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao licked his mouth, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Rui'er, Father Zhong has something to do, you go out and play."

Lu Rui looked at Cao Cao and began to cry.This cry made Cao Cao startled, it would be bad if it attracted other people.Quickly wiped Lu Rui's face and said, "Ruier, Ruier, what's the matter, didn't Father Zhong lose?"

Lu Rui wiped away his tears, and said choked up: "This, this, there is no written evidence, Father Zhong, what if you beat him up? We need to make written evidence."

When Cao Cao heard this, he was stunned. Now he is still recruiting soldiers, and there are no soldiers for Lu Rui, but if he makes a written statement, doesn't he leave a handle?Cao Cao's eyes rolled for a moment, and then he had a flash of inspiration. He took a pen and paper and wrote a document, "Cao Mengde owes his adopted son Lu Rui, 100 sergeant guards."Well, that's enough, I didn't lose to Rui'er, but I want to add a hundred guard soldiers for him.This will not only bury the truth, but also won't break Rui'er's trust.Marquis of the State of Qi, it is not too much for my adoptive father to send a hundred soldiers as guards!

Lu Rui took the paperwork, laughed through his tears, and went out with the wooden sword and Dian Wei, hehe, a hundred sergeants made a lot of money!

After half a month of recruiting, Cao Cao recruited [-] soldiers. At the same time, the Cao brothers and Xiahou brothers also rushed to Chenliu with the recruited army. A total of [-] troops marched towards Suanzao , the base camp of the Kwantung Allied Forces.

When Cao Cao was recruiting soldiers in Chenliu, he also sent a message to the world, calling on the princes of the world to attack Dong Zhuo. Those who responded to the call were: General Yuan Shu, Mu Han Fu of Jizhou, Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and the prefect of Hanoi Wang Kuang, Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, and Bao Xin, the governor of Jibei.A total of eleven princes gathered in Suanzao and prepared to attack Dong Zhuo!

After Cao Cao came to Suanzao, Yuan Shao had not yet brought his army. Cao Cao acted as General Fenwu and received all the princes in Suanzao.

On this day, Cao Cao was discussing matters with the princes from all walks of life. Yuan Shao led his troops to Suanzao, and Cao Cao hurriedly led the princes from all walks of life to greet him.

When Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao, he laughed and said, "Ben Chu, you are finally here, let Meng De wait!"

Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao, cupped his hands and said, "Meng De, long time no see, you are getting more and more energetic. Meng De invites you to get rid of the country's thieves, how can you not come here at the beginning?" After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao and the others After the princes greeted each other, they entered the main tent.

As soon as Yuan Shao entered the main tent, he saw Cao Cao's helmet was still on the main seat, and Lu Rui was playing beside him.Yuan Shao's expression changed, and he quickly recovered. Yuan Shao held Cao Cao's hand and said, "Meng De, today the loyal and righteous people from all over the world gather here. , Kuangfu the Han Dynasty, together against the traitors of the country! Respectfully welcome your Majesty to return to the court!"

When Cao Cao heard this, Yuan Shao thought he was the leader of the alliance?At the beginning, I still knew a little about your character. Cao Cao arched his hands and said: "At the beginning, it was serious. Although Cao Cao called for the King of Diligence, His Majesty who commands all the troops is a man with both ability and virtue. Military division, I hope that Benchu ​​will be the leader of the alliance and lead the loyal people in the world to crusade against the national traitors!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he was stunned. Cao Cao wanted to be the leader himself?Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao in embarrassment, and said, "Meng De, this, this is not good?"

Cao Cao grabbed Yuan Shao's hand and said: "This is a great talent at the beginning, and he comes from Yuan's family. He is naturally the candidate for the leader of the alliance. What do you think?"

The princes from all walks of life were either disciples of the Yuan family or friends of the Yuan family. When Cao Cao said this, of course they all raised their hands in approval.

Yuan Shao looked at the princes from all walks of life, and then said righteously: "In this case, I will take over the position of the leader at the beginning, and Meng De will be the military advisor, and we will fight against the country's traitors!" All the princes bowed their hands to express their approval of Yuan Shao's decision.Yuan Shao was very happy to see that the princes from all walks of life complimented him, then he flung his cloak and sat on the main seat, and the other princes also sat down one after another after seeing the ceremony.

After Cao Cao saw that everyone was seated, he handed over the seal of the leader of the alliance to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao took over the seal, sat on the main seat, opened the main account, summoned the princes and generals to gather outside, and said: "Listen, all generals. make!"

The princes in the audience and the generals outside the account clasped their hands together and said, "Promise! Leader!"

Yuan Shao nodded, and was about to issue an order to review the three armies. Why, where did the tiger charm go?Where did the leader's Tiger Talisman go?Why not?

The princes in the audience were waiting for Yuan Shao to issue an order, but Yuan Shao didn't move?Yuan Shao anxiously fiddled with the desk, why is the Tiger Talisman missing?At this moment, Yuan Shao heard the clanging sound, followed the sound and looked over, Tiger Talisman!It turned out that the Tiger Talisman was in Lu Rui's hands, and Lu Rui was playing with it as a toy!

Yuan Shao looked at Lu Rui, then smiled and said, "Rui'er, quickly give that piece of copper tiger to Uncle Benchu, it belongs to Uncle Benchu."

Lu Rui looked at Yuan Shao, blinked and said, "Uncle Benchu, this is what Rui Er got first, why should I give it to you?"

Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this, a five-year-old child still doesn't know what a tiger talisman is!Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Rui'er, this is the leader's tiger talisman, and it's for the leader. Uncle Benchu ​​is now the leader of the alliance of princes."

Lu Rui looked at Yuan Shao, started to fool around again, and said: "Really? Uncle at the beginning, there is no tiger charm of your lord on it, but a Chinese character of a big man. Where is the word lord? You lied to me, no Here, I like playing with it."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he felt depressed, what can he explain with a five-year-old child?Why is it the leader's tiger charm?It was originally the tiger talisman of the leader, and why?Yuan Shao looked at everyone, and everyone else looked at Yuan Shao to see how Yuan Shao solved this problem.Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Shao playfully, hey, brother, you are going to make a fool of yourself.

Looking at Yuan Shu's expression, Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the other princes. Yuan Shao suddenly understood in his heart that Lu Rui made a fuss and it became a test. This test was to test his ability as the leader. In your hand, it depends on how you get it back, it's tricky, tricky, this problem stumped Yuan Shao.

Seeing Lu Rui's true appearance that day, Yuan Shao was so worried that he wanted to grab him by force?No, isn't Yuan Shao telling everyone that he is a reckless man?Bullying children?Grabbed it, and my embarrassing story didn't spread quickly to the big man?Wisdom, you must use your wit to get Lu Rui to hand it over, so that everyone can be overwhelmed!

Yuan Shao thought for a while, then took out the tiger talisman of his own army from his bosom, and said, "Ruier, look, uncle also has a copper tiger here, which means that uncle brought a copper tiger, so, Ruier, hurry up Be good, give it back to uncle."

Lu Rui looked at the bronze tiger in his hand, then shook his head, and said, "No, this belongs to Rui'er, Uncle Benchu, don't lie to Rui'er, your bronze tiger has the word Yuan written on it, of course it is Uncle Yuan Shao’s stuff, my second father also has a piece of copper tiger with the word Cao written on it, that is my second father’s bronze tiger, the bronze tiger in Rui’er’s hand is written in Chinese, of course it does not belong to Uncle Yuan Chu, it was picked up by Ruier When it arrives, it will be Rui'er's!" After finishing speaking, she put it in her arms, as if she would not give Yuan Shao her life.

Yuan Shao clenched his fists and looked at Lu Rui viciously, this boy, this boy is so difficult to deal with, and he also knows that the words on the bronze tiger represent military officers.The Tiger Talisman of the Han Dynasty was generally marked with the official position or the surname of the general. Cao Cao was the allied army of the feudal lords to attack Dong Zhuo and restore the great Han.

When Yuan Shao was entangled with Lu Rui, the generals outside the tent were getting impatient. After Yuan Shao yelled, there were no more orders. What kind of play is this?Let everyone just kneel like this?Yuan Shao, are you giving orders or not?The generals outside the tent began to whisper, especially the generals who didn't know the details in the distance, had already begun to express their anger, and they all seemed to get up!

Yuan Shao looked at it, it was bad, it was messed up, the first time he gave orders to the coalition army was about to fail, Yuan Shao glared at Cao Cao, and told Cao Cao in his eyes: Cao Mengde?your adopted son? "

Cao Cao was also helpless under the desk, he really didn't do it himself, and he didn't know that Lu Rui could play Tiger Talisman, so he did it!Cao Cao definitely can't go out now and ask Lu Rui to return it to Yuan Shao. Isn't this a slap in the face of Yuan Shao?Even a child can't solve it, how to lead various armies to defeat Dong Zhuo?Cao Cao could only turn his face aside, this matter has nothing to do with me, Cao Mengde, at first, you have to solve it yourself!

Seeing Cao Cao ignoring him, Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to smash the inkstone on the platform, but now more than [-] troops and generals were watching, no, no way to smash it!

Seeing Yuan Shao sweating profusely, Tian Feng, Yuan Shao's military adviser, immediately stood up, walked to Lu Rui's side, cupped his hands and said, "Young Lord, this is the property of a villain. The villain's name is Han Feng. This copper tiger It belongs to the villain, Lord Hou, please return it to the villain."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he applauded loudly in his heart, Tian Feng is indeed my military adviser, he came out to rescue me so soon, why didn't I think of this way, isn't it Han?Find someone surnamed Han and you can get it back!

Lu Rui looked at Tian Feng, this is Yuan Shao's military adviser, Tian Feng of Hebei?Hey, Xiao Tiantian depends on how you deal with me?Lu Rui took out a jade pendant from his arms and said, "Your name is Han Feng? What proof do you have that your surname is Han? My surname is Lu, and my name is Lu Rui. This jade pendant here is my surname!" After finishing speaking, Lu Rui took He took out a round piece of white jade and shook it. This piece of white jade belonged to the children of the aristocratic family. The surname and place of origin were engraved on it to show his identity.

Yuan Shao was stunned, oh my god, why is this kid so difficult to deal with, and he still needs to verify his identity?Yuan Shu looked at Lu Rui happily, hoping that Yuan Shao would make a fool of himself, but why did Yuan Yi stare at Tian Feng intently, to see Yuan Shao, the default heir, and the level of his counselors!The rest of the people looked at Tian Feng and how Tian Feng took back the tiger charm.

At this time, the messenger came to report: "Report! Leader, someone from the rear army is fighting!" After speaking, he pointed with his finger, and saw some soldiers wrestling in the distance.As soon as Yuan Shao heard it, he immediately shouted: "Chuan?" But his right hand is empty, there is no tiger talisman!

Tian Feng was not disturbed by this situation, but took out a piece of white jade similar to Lu Rui from his bosom, there was a Chinese character on it, cupped his hands and said: "Master Hou, this is my surname, please have a look at it!"

When everyone saw it, they all showed expressions of praise, Tian Feng is really capable!Lu Rui took the jade pendant, and was stunned for a moment. Tian Feng is really amazing. This jade pendant is called Linglong Hanbaiyu. It is a gift from the Han Dynasty for friendship with other countries. It is produced by a special department of the Han court and is responsible for giving or selling it to neighboring countries. monarch.This object is the blueprint of the jade pendant with the surname of the descendants of the Han family. The jade pendants of the descendants of the Han family are all imitated according to this, but the pattern is different from the characters in the middle. The characters of Linglong Han Baiyu are Luoyang-Han!

Lu Rui thought, this kind of jade pendant is a five-year-old child, and Lu Rui must not be able to see the flaws. If he saw it, it was Cao Cao who instructed him. Unexpectedly, Tian Feng is really powerful. In order to prevent everyone from doubting Cao Cao, Lu Rui nodded and said: "Okay, Uncle Hanfeng, I will return it to you, but this is what I found, shouldn't you give me some reward?" If you return it, you must ask for some benefits.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately said: "Okay, if Rui'er is returned to Han Feng, this general will give Rui'er ten night pearls on his behalf!"

When Tian Feng heard it, hey, my lord, you are too impatient!Tian Feng arched his hands and said to Yuan Shao: "Thank you, my lord, for redeeming Han Feng's inheritance!" It should be negotiated between Tian Feng and Lu Rui, but Yuan Shao was anxious to return the Tiger Talisman, Tian Feng could only pretend that the lord was sympathetic to his subordinates, and redeemed the things belonging to his subordinates, which would not lose Yuan Shao's dignity!

When Yuan Shao heard this, he knew that he was in a hurry, but he had no choice. The soldiers were about to revolutionize. Could he not be in a hurry?Lu Rui nodded and said to Tian Feng: "Okay, here you are, what Uncle Benchu ​​said must mean something." After finishing speaking, he returned the Tiger Talisman to Tian Feng.

After Tian Feng took the Tiger Talisman, he immediately handed it over to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao picked up the Tiger Talisman and said in a serious voice, "Whoever passes on our military orders and disrupts military discipline will be sent to the barracks to gallop ten times. The rest of the ministries will return to the camp, and we will discuss plans tomorrow!"

After everyone heard it, they said in unison: "No!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao let out a sigh of relief and finally resolved it.

At night, Lu Rui played with the ten luminous pearls sent by Yuan Shao, hehe, this time he made another fortune!Originally, I wanted Yuan Shao to make a fool of himself and Cao Cao to gain, but now it is basically a draw.Cao Cao made the leader of the alliance gain a good reputation, but Yuan Shao had a resourceful military division and spread it all over the barracks.Yuan Shao just lost some face, but he can still be fooled in order to make a big deal regardless of the small details. After all, not every hero knows how to coax children!This does not damage Yuan Shao's prestige, but only highlights Yuan Shao's indecisive character. He is still struggling with a child!
