Chapter 72, the point and the clear text and the foundation, and the quiet Mengde returns

*

Yang Xiu patted his head: "I know! At that time, he had just suffered a defeat in Xi'e, and the whole army was discouraged, and the prime minister was even more depressed, but General Miaocai, who had been missing for many days that night, suddenly turned around lightly, and the prime minister was refreshed, and a banquet was held that night to reward the three armies......" At that time, he thought it was a means for Cao Cao to boost morale, but he didn't expect that it was a means of encouragement, and it was also a kind of celebration.

So......

Cao Ang is actually not dead at all?!

Xiahou Yuan's disappearance must be related to Cao Ang, on the night of the defeat in Western Hubei, he should have brought back the news of Cao Ang's safety, so the prime minister was overjoyed and feasted the three armies!

Yang Xiu finally figured it out now, but he couldn't wait to hide his face with his sleeves - this is really a shame! He has always boasted that he is unparalleled in his cleverness, and after being by Cao Cao's side for so long, he can't compare to a newcomer Jia Xu...... Moreover, it's not just as simple as being embarrassed, if it weren't for Jia Xu to make it clear to him, he would definitely make mistakes in the dark, and then he angered Cao Cao, and he really had endless troubles.

Yang Xiu's face was stunned, and he hurriedly made a big gesture at Jia Xu, and sighed: "Brother Wenhe, you don't have to say that the prime minister entrusted you here. Your Excellency is as clever as a god, and Dezu is convinced. This favor is owed in advance, and it will be repaid to you in the future. ”

Jia Xu nodded incomprehensibly and pulled out a smile, but he was silent and noncommittal.

He is not in Cao Jun, so he can only have a rough guess about this matter. deliberately mentioned Yang Xiu, in fact, to confirm his conjecture. Unexpectedly, Yang Xiu said it all in one go, Xiahou Yuan left the camp and returned, Cao Cao was suddenly excited, this qiē shows that the eldest son Cao Ang is indeed not dead.

The bamboo fan in his hand shook gently, Jia Xu turned around and returned to the tent, but he avoided the left and right, and looked at the sky and burned three pillars of high incense.

The handle of the fan draws a vague "Zhang" on the ground.

After the incense pillar burned the embers, he finally sighed with a sigh: "General Zhang, it was Wenhe who harmed you! If there is knowledge under the spring and a spirit in the sky, please forgive Wenhe's sin!"

After that, pour the wine on the ground, and mourn endlessly.

He has been involved in many people, followed Xiliang Dong Zhuo, and offered Li Dao Guo Yan, but Zhang Xiu trusted him and treated him very politely. He also lived up to his high expectations, and every plan must be successful. Unexpectedly, this last offer of advice killed Zhang Xiu.

His strategy would have been fine.

Cao Ang is dead, the dead are gone, Cao Cao is so magnificent, he took Zhang Xiu's city, killed Hu Che'er and other culprits, he can be regarded as avenging the eldest son and the love general, and will never be angry with the useful living because of a dead person. As a hero, in order to win the heart of the world, he will take into account the overall situation, and choose to recruit Zhang Xiu to his command and make him a general.

This is the reason why Jia Xu persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender.

Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, who would have thought that Gongzi Cao Ang would not be dead!

As the most scheming strategist, Jia Xu felt that he was simply tricked by God.

Cao Ang is still alive, Cao Cao is secretive and deep, in order to protect the safety of his beloved son, confuse the world, deliberately take revenge seriously, and kill Zhang Xiu. This is even just to give the living a breath of relief. Anyway, in the future, when Cao Ang comes back to inherit the mantle, he will never tolerate Zhang Xiu - even if this prince is very powerful and can forgive the person who seriously injured him and is dying, Zhang Xiu does not dare to serve this lord who is in danger of being killed by himself, and he is at ease to be his subordinate, and under the suspicion, he is bound to rebel again.

Cao Cao is a hero, but also a hero, he naturally wants to clear a qiē obstacle for his son, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered Zhang Xiu to be beheaded.

Jia Xu took Yang Xiu's words and confirmed his conjecture, so he turned the camp to the southwest and bowed to the southwest, laid Zhang Xiu, and comforted his soul. After all, this is the will of God, and no one can change it, no matter how much he can calculate, he will not be able to count it as heaven in the end.

That night, Cao Cao really sacrificed the fallen soldiers by the water, drenched incense and sobbed, and chanted poems, which made the three armies sigh. He first sacrificed Dian Wei, and then sacrificed the fallen soldiers and nephews, and even the mount Jueying and Cao Ang's Dawan horse were also sacrificed.

When sacrificing his sons and nephews, he sang in the wind: "The decree of God Yi, how difficult is it to repair the shortness? I feel that the past is not over, and the new disaster is coming back. Fang Chaohua and late compress, than the morning dew and the first day. Feeling that the deceased is not chasing, and the feelings are sudden and out of balance. The sky is high and there is no order, who will sue if you hate it?"

But he never mentioned the name of the eldest son.

The three armies all thought that the prime minister had lost his beloved son, so they regretted it infinitely. After the ancestral hall was laid, Cao Cao Fang returned to the camp to discuss the future with several henchmen.

Glancing at Xiahou Yuan, who was standing beside him, Cao Cao's face was a little uneasy, and asked, "Why did Miaocai return alone?"

Since then, Gao Huan sent a message that he had seen a man who looked like a son, and although he was extremely disbelieving in his grief, he still sent Xiahou Yuan, who was good at running thousands of miles, to spy on Beixincheng.

He went south with revenge and waved his army to crusade against Zhang Xiu. Unexpectedly, at the time of the first battle, he frequently mourned his beloved son, so that he could not concentrate on the battle, his morale was low, and he lost more than he won. When the Western Hubei army was defeated, Xiahou Yuan rode back alone, but brought back the news that his eldest son was still in the world, and Cao Cao was surprised and excited, so he started a big battle with Zhang Xiu.

I also heard that Cao Ang, in the name of Qi Han, defeated Wuhuan in Beixincheng, won more with less, and established a little reputation. Although Cao Cao was puzzled and did not know his son's intentions, he still ordered Xiahou Yuan to bring a team of men and horses to help. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon today, Xiahou Yuan brought people back, and there was no Cao Ang in the team. Cao Cao was unhappy in his heart, and he happened to be on the verge of water, and his thoughts of his son were great, so he ordered the soldiers and horses to be stopped and the dead were sacrificed.

After a lot of busyness, he was free at this point, and immediately called Xiahou Yuan to inquire in detail.

Xiahou Yuan clenched his fists and said: "There is a negative prime minister's trust." When Miaocai led the army to Beixincheng, Childe had already left. He has long been accustomed to long-distance running, and at this moment he is dressed in the dust, but his eyes are still bright.

Cao Cao frowned: "Where did he go again?

Xiahou Yuan raised his eyelids and said in an inexplicable voice: "I heard, I heard that Gongzi and Zhao Zilong went to Xuzhou to help Liu Bei go to ......."

"Nonsense!" Before the words fell, Cao Cao slapped on the case.

Xun Yu stepped forward to sort out the overturned tea, and said with a light smile: "Why should the prime minister be angry? This time, he encircled Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, and went to Xuzhou in person, so he must have his own plans. ”

Xiahoudun and the others all felt that Xun Yu was reasonable, and they also persuaded him frequently, but Cao Cao listened to it, and his face was a little pale. But his right hand was still supporting his forehead, as if it was in some pain.

He thought about it, but still shook his head and sighed, "No, no." Zi Xuan is talented and strategic, and he is the best. But his physique has been delicate since he was a child. His mother was pampered and doted on, and she was already poor, and she was so badly injured in Wancheng......"

Speaking of this, his face turned pale, his temples twitched instantly, and he couldn't help but cinch his forehead. The thrilling scene of that night of fire and fire appeared in front of me again-

The shouts of killing rose and fell on all sides, and the bloody Cao Ang knelt in front of him and asked him to get on his horse. At that time, he groaned and refused, and his heart ached greatly. He hated his own mistakes, saddened the tragic death of his soldiers, and pained this mortal situation.

He remembered that he stretched out his hand and stroked Cao Ang's head numbly, and saw Aiko raise his head, his cheeks splashed with blood, and he couldn't see his original face. And the thin Cao Ang didn't know where to give birth to the strength, he actually pushed him onto the horse, pierced a dagger on the horse's buttocks, and called out in his mouth, "Father, you go quickly, the son is broken!", and then, the big horse galloped like the wind, and Cao Cao did not dare to turn back.

He heard the hissing sound behind him overlapping like a vicious wave, and his beloved son, who was the most beloved in his life, fell into the dust of swords and swords......

He narrowly escaped with his life, only to find that ten-year-old Cao Pi had escaped faster than a rabbit and had arrived at a safe place upstream. It's just that as soon as he saw him, he threw himself into his arms and broke down and cried, shouting to find his son-in-law and brother.

From that moment on, Cao Cao felt that his eldest son was stupid.

Even the young Zihuan knew to take the horse and run away, but he was stupid enough to give up his war horse to his father. It can be seen that he has lived in vain for 19 years, and he has inherited many of his teachings in vain.

However, Cao Cao had to admit that it was Cao Ang's "stupid" reciprocal affection that made him miss and love this son immensely. This kind of grief gradually evolved into a deep and contradictory obsession, hating to overturn Zhang Xiu's hand to avenge the enemy, for the son of revenge, night after nightmare, Cao Cao was also chewing his teeth and scolding angrily "fool!".

As a father, he hoped that he could see his son who was safe and sound as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't seem to miss his relatives at all, and in a blink of an eye, he went to Liu Bei and ran to Xuzhou.

"Prime Minister, will I take someone to welcome the son back?" Xiahou Yuan was tall, but he acted extremely flexibly, and he asked after observing his words.

Cao Cao rubbed his temples, twisted his eyebrows and said, "That's it." My son didn't announce his name, but this time he left his grandson and hid in Liu Beijun's army, so he must have a plan. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to forcibly bring him back, tomorrow morning, you can go to Xuzhou to protect him secretly. ”

Cao Ang was still alive, and Cao Cao handled it very carefully. When he received Gao Ran's secret letter, he sent someone to verify it, and there was no doubt that the person he sent was a close confidant. Xiahou Yuan is a cousin of his clan, a confidant, and a good runner, so he has become the best candidate.

Seeing that Xiahou Yuan received the order, only Cao Ren, Xiahou Dan, Xun Yu and others were left in the camp, and everyone saw that Cao Cao's face was not good, and they knew that he was sick again, so they asked if they called the military doctor to rest, but Cao Cao's eyes were shining, and said: "Zixiao, summon everyone, there is something important to discuss tonight." ”

Cao Ren ordered someone to attack the order, and in a moment, all the generals and ministers arrived. Cao Cao pointed out the topographic map and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiufu is defeated, and I expect that his remnants will entangle Liu Biao and intercept my way back." ”

Jia Xu's eyes flashed: "The prime minister's expectations are not bad! After a few miles of military march, Wen He has already felt something, and he is about to ask to see each other." I secretly sighed in my heart, Cao Cheng is not an ordinary lord, Zhang Xiu and others must not be compared.
