Demon of the Three Kingdoms

() After Cao Cao arrived in Dongjun, he immediately reported his illness to the court, and returned to the Cao Mansion in Zhongqiao County, hiding his strength and biding his time.Lu Rui lived in the Cao Mansion for three years, and Lu Rui was considered a big brother in the Cao Mansion. Cao Ang was the eldest by a few years older than Lu Rui, Cao Pi was one year younger than Lu Rui, and Cao Zhang was just born.Although Lu Rui is young, he is very cunning. Many people in the mansion have been teased by Lu Rui, but due to the love of Cao Cao and his wives, no one dares to do anything to Lu Rui. Cao Cao loves his adopted son It is very famous in history, even a waste like He Yan, as Cao Cao's follower, dared to outdress the crown prince, and was hated by Cao Pi, which shows Cao Cao's love for his adopted son.As Cao Cao's first adopted son in his life, Lu Rui was naturally very kind.

Lu Rui was wearing a long robe, holding a small bamboo whip, and was playing in the mansion. Cao Cao went out to talk about things. Cao Pi followed him like a follower all day long, and wanted to play with him in the sand, or he would take his servants with him. Fishing by the river and bullying some rich merchants around, Lu Rui felt bored after playing too much, so he left Cao Pi and went to the backyard to play alone. It turns out that the children of ancient aristocratic families are so boring.

When Lu Rui was playing in the yard, Cao Chun came suddenly. Lu Rui was very happy when he saw it, and then ran over and said, "Son and uncle, why are you here? What are you doing here?" , where did Father Zhong go?"

Although Cao Cao adopted Lu Rui as his adopted son, Lu Rui did not call Cao Cao his father, but called Cao Cao his second father. Cao Cao once asked: "Why does Ruier not want to call me father?" Lu Rui only Answer: "I am the direct blood son of the Lu family." Cao Cao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he laughed and said, "Rui'er's filial piety is not easy, since that's the case, Rui'er will just call me Zhongfu from now on. "The ancient family ranking: Uncle, Zhong, Ji, Uncle, Cao Cao is a few years younger than Lu Bo Shexu, so Lu Rui called him Zhong's father.

Cao Chun touched Lu Rui's small head, and said: "It turned out to be Rui'er. Your Zhongfu is about to come back. I was recruited by him. He is going to Luoyang. General He Jin recruited him to serve in the mansion. I'm here to discuss the trip to Luoyang with my eldest brother." When Lu Rui heard this, he had some concerns in his mind, a trip to Luoyang?Luoyang?The ancient capital of the Han Dynasty, as a person who traveled through time, I have always admired the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Thinking of this, Lu Rui smiled wickedly, and must let Cao Cao take him to Luoyang.

Thinking of this, Lu Rui bit his finger and said, "My son and uncle, I want to listen to you too, so you take me there." After speaking, he grabbed Cao Chun's collar and refused to let go.Cao Chun looked at Lu Rui and knew the status of this kid in the family. Not only Cao Cao, but also Cao Song loved Lu Rui very much. It would not be fun to provoke him. Thinking of this, Cao Chun hugged Lu Rui , Said: "Okay, my son and uncle will take you there." After speaking, he carried Lu Rui into the study.

Soon Cao Cao returned to the mansion. Seeing that Cao Chun was already waiting, he was very satisfied. He saw Lu Rui again, and immediately called Lu Rui to his side, then touched Lu Rui, and made a gesture to Lu Rui. The grimace, Cao Cao's ugly appearance made Lu Rui dare not compliment him, but he still smiled. Cao Chun saw it from the side, and luckily he brought this little devil here. Otherwise, if Lu Rui complained, his ass?

Cao Cao played with Lu Rui for a while, then changed his face, and said seriously: "Zihe, how is the clansman I want you to train?" When the assassin became so powerful, he decided to train a personal guard to prevent similar situations from happening in the future, so he handed over this matter to Cao Chun.

Cao Chun looked at Cao Cao, cupped his hands and said, "Brother, don't worry, I have selected 300 people in the clan, trained them every day, and built a weapon, equipped with personal guards, and now I have achieved some success." , but it may take a while to become an elite person."

Cao Cao looked at Cao Chun, nodded and said, "Zihe, I'm going to Luoyang soon. The general will invite me into the mansion. I will entrust the safety of my family and clan to you. You must take good care of me." family."

Cao Chun knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, big brother. I will definitely protect the safety of everyone in the family and wait for big brother's return."

Lu Rui pulled Cao Cao's clothes and said, "Father Zhong, father Zhong, my son is going to Luoyang too. I'm going to play in Luoyang. You take me there, you take me there."

Looking at the lovely Lu Rui, Cao Cao grabbed his little hand and said, "Ruier, Luoyang is far away, are you afraid of hard work? If not, Father Zhong will take you there." Cao Cao felt that this time Luoyang There is no danger in the trip, and taking Lu Rui there can be considered as an experience for Lu Rui, as long as Lu Rui is not afraid of the long journey, take Lu Rui there!

Lu Rui looked at Cao Cao, and then said: "Father Zhong, I'm not afraid of the distance, I'm going to Luoyang, to Luoyang to play." After speaking, he shook Cao Cao's hand, Cao Cao had no choice but to smile and agree Take Lu Rui to Luoyang.

After Lu Rui got Cao Cao's approval, he danced and danced, and went to Luoyang. He must make good preparations.Seeing Lu Rui's happy look, Cao Cao touched his beard with a smile and laughed.

At this time, the housekeeper of Cao's house suddenly came to report, and Xu You begged to see him.When Cao Cao heard this, why did Xu You come?This old friend hasn't come to visit me for a long time.Cao Cao immediately asked the housekeeper to bring Xu You in.

Not long after, the butler brought Xu You to the study. Cao Chun clasped his fists and retreated. Xu You saw Cao Cao, cupped his hands and said, "Meng De, don't come here. It turns out that Rui'er is here too. It's been a long time." No see, Uncle Xu has prepared some gifts for you and delivered them to your room, you can go and have a look later?" Lu Rui is now a big celebrity in the Cao Mansion, and everyone who comes to visit Cao Cao knows to get through to Lu Rui first Because Lu Rui is Cao Cao's favorite adopted son, anyone who knows Cao Cao knows that to buy Cao Mengde, first buy Lu Rui!

Lu Rui glanced at Xu You. This man has sly eyebrows and mischievous eyes, and he smiles like a traitor. It really is that people are divided into groups and things are gathered together. Cao Cao is such an ugly person, and Xu You is really a friend of pigs and dogs, but the two Although the man is not good in appearance, he is indeed a generation of romantic figures in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.Lu Rui patted his mouth, let out a breath and said, "In that case, thank you Uncle Xu."

When Xu You heard this, he was stunned for a moment, this kid is so rude, how did Cao Mengde educate this kid, he brought him a gift himself, and just said thank you lightly?It's too shameful for Meng De to dote on his adopted son to such an extent. Could this kid Lu Rui be the romantic seed of Meng De and some other woman?No, Lu Rui's appearance is handsome and extraordinary, and Meng Der is even more so than himself.

At this time, Cao Cao didn't know that Xu You was guessing his relationship with Lu Rui in his heart. Looking at the displeased expression on Xu You's face, he knew that Lu Rui's words made Xu You unhappy, and then Cao Cao coughed a few times Said: "Rui'er, since Uncle Xu brought you a gift, you should also return the gift. Tell me, what do you want to give Uncle Xu?"

Lu Rui looked at Cao Cao, then looked at Xu You, Xu You only showed a smile at this time, Meng De still knows the etiquette, yes, he can bring something back, Lu Rui thought for a while, and then grabbed Scratching his head, he said: "Oh, Father Zhong, I thought of it. Yesterday, my aunt gave me a small bellyband, and I will give it to Uncle Xu as a return gift today. I hope Uncle Xu will add something to Rui'er." little brother."

When Cao Cao heard this, he burst out laughing, and spit out half of his tea. Unexpectedly, Lu Rui would confront Xu You like this. Cao Cao, Xu You, and Yuan Shao were all friends when they were young. The business of robbing other people's brides was done by three people, but it was very strange. After the three got married, Yuan Shao got four sons, and Cao Cao also had several sons, but Xu You didn't have any sons. When friends met, they would discuss it from time to time. When it came to this topic, both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao laughed at Xu You because he had done a lot of wicked things and had no success. Now Lu Rui actually used this to tease Xu You.

Xu You was also furious at this time, cursing in his heart, Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, after I did something wicked, others don't know, don't I know?It's you and Benchu ​​who went to have sex, I'm watching the wind, damn it, why did God punish me Xu You?It's really unfair to accept such an adopted son for Meng De now.Xu You smiled and said, "Thank you Ruier, uncle is here to borrow Ruier's good words and try his best to add a little brother to Ruier."

When Cao Cao and Lu Rui heard this, they were stunned for a moment. What Cao Cao thought was that it seemed that Ziyuan had something important to ask of himself, otherwise he wouldn't have tolerated Rui'er being so rude.Lu Rui thought in his heart, Xu You and Xu Ziyuan are really not simple, the city is so scheming, it seems that Hebei's number one resourcefulness is not bragging, according to the official history of the Three Kingdoms, Xu You is a capable person, not just the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao Cao Cao pacified Hebei, and Xu You contributed a lot.

Cao Cao looked at Xu You, cupped his hands and said, "Ziyuan, Rui'er is ignorant, so don't be offended. By the way, Ziyuan, come here today. I don't know what's important? You just come to my house gift."

Xu You looked at Lu Rui, and Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Ziyuan, don't mind, Rui'er is just a child. If there is anything, just say it, you and I still need this?" Cao Cao was also dissatisfied, he and Xu You had known each other for many years, Xu You talked to Cao Cao in such a tactful way, Cao Cao felt dissatisfied, is this still a friend of wine and meat?

Xu You arched his hands and said: "Meng De, I discussed with Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou. Today, His Majesty has no way, the people are in dire straits, and chaos has arisen. After the Yellow Turban, the prestige of the great Han has been lost. If we establish a new master, it must be a minister of the dragon. I don't know what Meng De wants?" When Lu Rui heard it, it turned out that this was the matter. Xu You wanted to make Hefei Marquis emperor, and this time he came to discuss with Cao Cao. Thinking of this, Lu Rui looked at Cao Cao. Cao Cao will disappoint Xu You this time.

Cao Cao looked at Xu You with complicated expressions, while Xu You looked at Cao Cao attentively, hoping to get Cao Cao's affirmative answer. Cao Cao raised his head, glanced at Xu You, and said, "Ziyuan , My Cao family has been favored by the emperor, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion of the Great Han has basically been put down, and in the future under His Majesty's rule, the Great Han will definitely regain its prestige."

Xu You was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Cao Cao to answer like this, it seems that this time he ran away for nothing, Xu You and Cao Cao's old friends for many years, from Cao Cao's eyes, Xu You saw unprecedented firmness, Cao Cao will not participate in the matter of supporting the Marquis of Hefei with himself.Thinking of this, Xu You cupped his hands and said, "Since this is the case, everyone has their own ambitions. Meng De, Ziyuan is leaving!" After speaking, he waved his hands and left the study and Cao's mansion without looking back.

Seeing Xu You's performance, Lu Rui gained a new understanding of Xu You. It seems that Xu You knows Cao Cao very well. From Cao Cao's answer and expression, it can be inferred that Cao Cao has made up his mind. I was by Cao Cao's side every day, and I still couldn't figure out the connotation of Cao Cao's expression. I didn't expect Xu You to be able to figure it out. It seems that Xu You's death may not be just arrogance. No one wants someone to see through his own thoughts. thoughts.

When Cao Cao saw Xu You leaving, he didn't say anything, but smiled and said to Lu Rui: "Rui'er, come and pack up, we are going to Luoyang." Lu Rui clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Father Zhong, we Go pack your bags." After speaking, he and Cao Cao left the study and went to pack their bags. Three days later, Cao Cao took Lu Rui and set off for Luoyang.
