Chapter 3310: Question and answer in front of the house, one-sided humiliation

This noisy turmoil in Yecheng may be the most grand festival and the most brilliant fireworks in the summer of the ninth year of Taixing.

In the past, the refugees suffered and had to watch the dignitaries enjoy the food and drink. Now, as long as they smash open a shop or restaurant, they can get the food and utensils that they couldn't eat before...

A large amount of supplies were looted, and I don’t know if any of the refugees in the city would be grateful to the Hussars. Anyway, sparks and blood sprays seemed to be emitting everywhere in Ye City, which was very bright, and the shouts shook the sky, like A night of fish and dragon dance.

 As for who is the fish on the chopping board and who is the wandering dragon, it depends on the opinion of different people.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Pi walked up to the high platform with a livid face. He looked at everything in front of him and felt a sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart.

 He is the son of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. His father was under the emperor and controlled the 72 counties of Jiuzhou in Shandong, the Han Dynasty...

Well, these figures are all to show the strength and cannot be calculated seriously. But now, in the face of the chaotic reality in Yecheng, these figures were pulled off their horses and slapped their mouths from left to right. Cao Pi was slapped in the head to this day. Especially buzzing.

　Embarrassment, shame, anger, anger, regret…

 Many emotions were mixed together, making Cao Pi short of breath and gritting his teeth.

A guard came forward, holding a big cloak, and wanted to put it on Cao Pi, but Cao Pi snatched it away and threw it to the ground. "It's already this time, why are you still wearing this?" ! 』

 The confidant guards quickly knelt down to apologize.

Wu Zhi stood aside. When he saw this, he picked up the big cloak on the ground, then dusted it off, handed it to Cao Pi's guard again, and said: "I heard that many people in the world praise the young master for his calmness and righteousness. Today I have won Seeing that the young master is concerned about the worries of the people of Yecheng and the worries of all the people in Yecheng... I deeply admire him. However, the wind is very cold at night. Even if the young master is not worried about himself, he should be worried about the soldiers and people of Yecheng. If the young master catches a cold, how can he command and capture the enemy generals, resulting in chaos here? 』

When Cao Pi heard this, he said nothing, then asked the guards to put it on him and tie it up. He cupped his hands and said, "Sir, that's right." 』

Wu Zhi came from a humble background and was not valued by the villagers, but he was talented and knowledgeable. Therefore, when Cao Cao was in Yecheng, he ordered to recruit talents, so he responded to the call and became a small secretary in the Prime Minister's Palace. Zuo. The position is not high, but he can follow Cao Pi. It is also another kind of low position but high power.

With Wu Zhi's "comfort", Cao Pi finally calmed down a little, but his eyes were still staring at the chaotic lights in Ye City. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "May I ask, sir, why is this?" Pi dares not to slack off every day and works diligently on government affairs, but now...it is like this..."

Even if Cao Pi is stupid, he can now realize that there is something wrong with what happened tonight.

At the beginning of the chaos, Cao Pi was a little panicked because he was young, but soon Wu Zhi came and told Cao Pi that there was no need to worry too much, and said that this time the commotion could only come to the Prime Minister's Mansion at most. Until everywhere.

At first, Cao Pi was still suspicious, but the reasons given by Wu Zhi made Cao Pi feel at ease.

There will be no problems in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and we don't dare to have problems, so it is the safest in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

On the contrary, if Cao Pi felt that the Prime Minister's Mansion was not safe and ran away, that would be a dead end.

 Cao Cao had already lost one of his children, and as a result, Yingchuan, Yuzhou, was bloodbathed.

Of course, Cao Cao would not directly state that he wanted to avenge his children, but in the name of suppressing rebellion for the emperor, many officials and nobles had their accounts deleted because of this, so if a second one dies now, especially if he is in a heavy situation If something happened in the prime minister's palace under his escort, it would most likely make Cao Cao go crazy and directly lead to the failure of the whole incident to end.

Wu Zhi concluded that even if there were hussars coming, their number would not be large enough to break through the Prime Minister's Mansion.

 Therefore, tonight's chaos is more of a warning, or a rebound of the Jizhou gentry who were suppressed by Cao Pi before...

Of course Wu Zhi would not tell Cao Pi this.

　　　　　Master, there is no need to worry. Wu Zhi said slowly, "The thieves will retreat before dawn!" 』

　　　　Why? ” Cao Pi asked.

Wu Zhi said slowly: "The night is chaotic, and we and the enemy are indistinguishable." Wait until the sky opens and the sun rises, black and white will be naturally clear. 』

Cao Pi narrowed his eyes, with some resentment flashing in his eyes, "Pi used to think that the most important thing is to employ people." Even though these gentry and gentry have their own selfish motives, they are also capable. Therefore, if you use your abilities more, you will always be able to do something, and there will always be people who are willing to do it... Now it seems that I was wrong! 』

　　　『You may appear sanctimonious on weekdays, but in reality you are a wolf-hearted person! ” Cao Pi patted the railing of the high platform and said, “In everything, I only know how to weigh the pros and cons, and I only know how to pass the buck! This talented but ungrateful person is even more harmful! Big harm! 』

Wu Zhi smiled a little awkwardly.

This topic is indeed a bit difficult to talk about.

 You obviously can’t hire people with no talent and no morals. Everyone knows this truth, but why is it that no matter what generation it is, there are some people who are obviously no talent and no virtues and hold high positions?

 As for whether there is talent but not virtue, and whether there is virtue but no talent, in fact, they all have their own disadvantages.

People themselves are flawed, and a good system can restrain the selfishness of these people. Therefore, in the feudal dynasty, once a large number of officials only care about their own selfish desires and embezzle public power without being punished, or the benefits obtained are obviously greater than the punishment, then naturally there will be a large number of officials who harm the public and enrich themselves.

This is a stubborn disease that no one can change. The reason why Guanzhong has been able to avoid this problem for the time being is that the gentry in Guanzhong have been suppressed so miserably that they have little chance to get in touch with the upper-class interests. On the other hand, the people living in Fei People in the upper-level political groups have greater goals, or beliefs, so they don't pay much attention to the small profits in front of them.

 At this point, Cao Cao couldn't do it, and Cao Pi couldn't do it either.

 At present, the only thing that a big man can do is Fei Qian.

 After all, Fei Qian is a bad guy.

Fei Qian transcended the current world view of the Han Dynasty, influenced the outlook on life of the people around him, and also changed the values ​​​​of these people.

Of course, there are some people who feel that knowledge and experience, history and lessons are not as useful as the system. They would rather live in the ding ding ding ding, just like the leadership instructions of the prestige work group, so that they feel at ease, which is understandable.

 For the civil and military people in Guanzhong, in a sense, Feiqian is their belief and the "god" in their hearts.

If it weren't for Fei Qian, Li Ru might only think about fighting the big man to death, while Jia Xu would be dedicated to sneaking out the big man's bricks and watching the noble family come to an end.

If it weren't for Fei Qian, Lu Bu would eventually die due to his ability and ambition, and Liu Bei would become an aggregation of all the poor families and rural sages of the Han Dynasty, roaring at the corrupt system of the Han Dynasty.

Now, these people with broader, more lofty ideals and even dreams in their hearts are like tiny iron filings meeting a magnet, moving closer to Guanzhong. Therefore, the so-called celebrities and great Confucians who stayed in Shandong are not just Is there anyone left who can't **** it and is unwilling to move at all?

So what is so strange and surprising about the current situation in Yecheng?

It's just that Cao Pi didn't think of it himself, or he couldn't think about it or understand it.

 Wu Zhi obviously cannot say these words, nor is he qualified to say them.

　　"My father, I..." Cao Pi gritted his teeth, the muscles on his cheeks twitching, "I entrust the state affairs to them... Haha, ridiculous, ridiculous!" Everyone pretends to be loyal ministers and good generals in front of them! In fact, everyone is scheming! For the sake of power, he did not hesitate to sacrifice all living beings in the world and slaughter innocent people! He turned a good man into Yecheng and made it so miserable and corrupt! That’s fine, that’s fine! If it weren't for this rebellion, I still couldn't figure it out and thought that the great Han had loyal ministers! 』

　　　『Everyone, in the court hall, with lowered eyebrows and submissive eyes, seems to be complying with everything and doing everything properly! But look now, look at the chaos in Yecheng! ” Cao Pi slapped the railing so hard, “Is it possible that my father treated them too poorly? Didn't you give them food, clothing, and salary? Didn't you give them high-level positions? Hahaha! Nowadays, there are just a few thieves, but they can't be eradicated, and they still allow these thieves to invade! How dare they, how dare they? ! What are they doing? What are you doing? They think I don’t understand, they are all deceiving me, they are all deceiving me! They are all trying to manipulate me! They all want me and my father to do things according to their wishes! 』

"I was wrong. "Cao Pi gritted his teeth, "These guys... these guys... one day, I have to settle this account with them! 』

With these decisive words, the fire of Yecheng flickered, illuminating his face.

 …

 …

 Wei Yan's attack did not really feel the pressure brought by Cao's army until it reached the front street of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

 It's very simple. Near the Prime Minister's Palace is the core force of Cao's army, the central leader and the central guard.

At this stage of the Han Dynasty in Shandong, the only one who could have enough military pay, complete equipment, and relatively abundant food supplies was Cao Junzhong, who led the Zhonghu Army. While other soldiers and even ordinary Cao soldiers in the barracks outside the city had to cut back on food and clothing due to lack of food and grass on the front line, these elite Cao soldiers near the Prime Minister's Mansion were still able to receive relatively adequate care, ensuring that they had no worries about food and clothing.

　What kind of effort you make will naturally bring you what kind of reward you will get. Those outside the city who have been reduced in number, those in the city who are under-equipped, and the soldiers of Cao's army who are pirated copycats everywhere in the city naturally do not have much combat effectiveness. The real core strength of Cao's family is still these central guards and guards.

　　　　Charge over! 』

Wei Yan charged all the way, with blood everywhere on his body. He was like an evil ghost crawling out of the sea of ​​blood, rushing straight into Cao Jun's defense line. His movements were quick and fierce, and there was no sign of any signs of his physical strength declining after fighting for a long time.

　　　　Follow the general! 』

The old horse roared from behind and followed Wei Yan closely, helping him kill Cao's troops on both sides.

　　　　Charge over! Take the thief chief directly! 』

"kill! 』

　　『The hussar is victorious! 』

　　『Won victory! 』

It's not that Wei Yan is reckless, nor is it that he is dizzy, but in this chaotic situation at night, the most important thing is the word "quick".

  Dahan currently does not have an instant messaging system. Even if there is a similar communication method, it will still take time to rush from other places. So during the initial period of chaos in Yecheng, this was the only opportunity that Wei Yan could seize, and it could disappear at any time.

Wei Yan naturally had to hold on, so he was always on the front line.

 The cry of killing quickly reached Cao Pi's ears.

　　　『Really, is it really a hussar? ! It’s over, it’s really over…” Cao Pi’s eyes widened and he stuttered in his voice.

Wu Zhi glanced at Cao Pi quickly and acted as if he didn't hear anything.

The man was gnashing his teeth just now, but now he started to tremble when he saw the hussars approaching...

On the inner wall of the Prime Minister's Palace, many guards of the inner palace were also stationed. When they saw the hussars appearing in the night, they immediately shouted, "Fire arrows!" Shoot the arrow! 』

Many of the guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion have not yet figured out what happened, but one thing is very clear, that is, no one can be allowed to get close to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The arrow whizzed down and struck the long street.

There was also a bed crossbow whizzing down and penetrating the bluestone slabs on the street.

 Wei Yan stopped, breathing rapidly, adjusting and recovering his strength.

"General, this..." Old Ma Tou said from behind Wei Yan, "This can't be passed..."

Wei Yan gasped for a moment and showed his eight big teeth, "Who said I was going to rush over?" 』

"Then you..." Lao Ma Tou was stunned.

Didn’t you just shout that you wanted to kill Cao Pi?

Wei Yan chuckled, and then raised his voice and shouted, "Child Cao Pi, come out and answer!" 』

After Wei Yan finished shouting, he saw that the old horse beside him didn't respond, so he kicked the old horse's head directly.

Lao Ma Tou then realized what he was doing, and quickly summoned a few soldiers with loud voices, and shouted towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, "Child Cao Pi, come out and answer!" 』

The shouts naturally reached the high platform where Cao Pi was.

Wu Zhi thought for a moment and then said: "Young Master, there is no need to talk to him. It may be to lure him to show up and intend to assassinate him." 』

 In fact, Wu Zhi's statement about preventing assassination was just an excuse.

 Assassination is unlikely.

Just like Wei Yan needed help from others when he shouted, Cao Pi's reply obviously couldn't be broadcast to the whole city by standing on a high platform and shouting.

 Wu Zhi meant that there was no need to beep with Wei Yan, just kill him directly.

But Cao Pi didn't think so. On the contrary, he felt that if he didn't dare to answer in front of the battle, what would others say about him?

While Cao Pi was pondering, Wei Yan shouted again: "Cao Pi, Cao Zihuan, you are a traitor to the Han Dynasty and a descendant of the usurper, do you dare to talk to me?" ! 』

When Cao Pi heard this, he was furious, but he remained calm on his face and responded loudly: "You are just a thief, how dare you act so arrogantly here!" 』

Cao Pi has spoken, and the guards will naturally convey it to Cao Pi.

Hence, the shouting and killing in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion gradually stopped, and everyone seemed to be listening to the answers from both sides.

Wei Yan sneered, while arranging the equipment on his body, regardless of the blood on his hands, like other soldiers, he replenished as little food and water as possible to restore his strength, and at the same time ordered Lao Ma Tou to lead his men and shouted : "Your father, Cao Cao, is called Prime Minister, but he is actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty!" In all his life, he puts power first and uses whatever means necessary to harm the people! Massacre innocent people, thousands of miles away! You, Cao Pi, and Cao Zihuan were even more unscrupulous. They harmed the loyal and the good, ruined the place, caused the people of Jizhou to become homeless, and father and son cannibalize each other! You, father and son, are really a great harm to the world! 』

When Cao Pi heard this, he almost jumped out of anger and wanted to yell at Wei Yan for talking nonsense, but he held back at the last moment because he knew that whoever loses his temper first in such a situation would be equivalent to admitting everything, so although he said His face was livid, but he still managed to remain calm and retorted: "You are just a thief in the mountains. You claim to be benevolent and righteous, but in fact you are just a bunch of rabble-rousers." My father fought in all directions throughout his life and made great achievements. How can you, the thieves, criticize him? 』

For Cao Pi, his father did fight from the north to the south and conquered such a large territory in Shandong. But who should he compare this record with? Compared with Er Yuan, Cao Cao was naturally awesome, but if you want to say Is this world...

When Wei Yan heard what Cao Pi said, he spit out the water he had just drank and laughed loudly: "Absurd!" How ridiculous! My lord's hussars conquered the north and south, sent orders to conquer the barbarians, recovered the Yin Mountains, opened up the Western Regions, and destroyed enemy countries like a flip of the palm. You have not mentioned any of these military achievements! Whatever! Even though Ru Cao and his son had some minor merits, their crimes were so numerous that it is difficult to describe them! You not only held the emperor hostage and attempted to usurp the Han Dynasty, but you also harmed the people and caused chaos in the world! Your sins cannot be redeemed even if you die hundreds of times! 』

Hearing this, Cao Pi finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "You clowns!" Stop talking nonsense here! I will definitely take your lives today! Someone is coming! The killing general will go out and take the head of this thief, and he will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins! 』

Wei Yan laughed loudly after hearing this, and while signaling his soldiers to get ready, he responded calmly: "I am just a **** under the hussar, but he also knows loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and justice!" Although you, the Cao family, and your son are extremely powerful, you will eventually be cast aside by the world for being unfaithful, filial, benevolent and unjust! Even if I die here today, I will have no regrets! 』

 Talk has broken down, let’s start a fight!

 It’s not even a discussion at all, but a one-sided humiliation!

Looking at Cao Pi's veins on his forehead, Wu Zhi was speechless. Originally, Cao Pi was not a sharp-tongued person, but he wanted to confront this enemy. What else could he do if he wasn't asking for humiliation? If you didn't talk to each other before, the Hussars couldn't sing a one-man show anyway. Now, okay, the whole world will know about you Cao and his son...

Although Cao Pi could only be regarded as a little king at best, after he was humiliated, it naturally aroused the anger and dissatisfaction of the Cao family defenders in the Prime Minister's Mansion. With an order, the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion burst open, and the overwhelming Cao Army defenders rushed in. go out.

Um?

 Wu Zhi suddenly thought of something, "Not good!" Young Master! No... Hey, the enemy general is just waiting for us to open the door! 』

Wu Zhi had always found it strange before, because according to the number of Hussar soldiers, it was impossible to attack Yecheng anyway, but they did. And even if we attack Yecheng without siege weapons, we can't even think of attacking the Prime Minister's Mansion. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if we use a grenade or something to blast open the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, we will definitely be defeated by the guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion. intercepted and killed!

The guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion are either named Cao or are related to the Cao family, and their loyalty is close to full. The possibility of an internal thief is extremely low, not to mention that Cao Pi is still in the manor. As long as Cao Pi doesn't run away, then The guards of Cao Jun in the Prime Minister's Palace must fight to the death!

 But that's it, the hussars fought all the way to this point...

Wu Zhi really couldn’t figure it out at first, but after the questions and answers between Wei Yan and Cao Pi, Wu Zhi suddenly figured it out!

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, "Huh?" 』

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a thunderous explosion on the long street in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion!
