24 Nagasaka Slope XI Ten Crimes
Cao Cao took Xu Huang all the way down the mountain.
Xu Huang was originally Yang Feng's subordinate, after Dong Zhuo's death, when Li Dao and Guo Yan rebelled in Chang'an, they followed Yang Feng to escort him, and then surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao loves talent, Xu Huang is very clear, when Xu Huang was on the opposite side of Cao Cao, he killed many generals of Cao Cao's army, but Cao Cao did not hold a grudge against him, and promoted him after he descended. Xu Huang knew very well that Cao Cao wanted to take the world's talents under his command, this is Cao Cao's consistent style, if it weren't for Lu Bu being too strong back then, he also wanted to take Lu Bu as a general and dominate the world.
What Xu Huang didn't know was that Cao Cao had already begun to plan at this time, and after Zhao Yun surrendered, let him guard Jingzhou - after the surrender of Xiangyang, Cao Cao saw at a glance that there were no unscrupulous generals in Jingzhou, except for Wen Ping, who could barely be regarded as a general, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were all spineless flattering people, and after defeating Sun Quan, these two people would die, and the rest such as Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang could only be regarded as medium strategists.
Liu Biao is incompetent, in Jingzhou for more than ten years, he didn't even find Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang, or was unearthed by a fugitive Liu Bei, one by one, there must be heroes in Jingzhou, I Cao Cao will turn Jingzhou upside down, find these heroes, even if they can't be used by me, they can't be used by others!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly laughed out loud on his horse.
Xu Huang was not surprised, people who had been with Cao Cao for a long time knew that he would laugh inexplicably, Cao Cao often acted contrary to common sense.
The speed of the Absolute Shadow was very fast, and it ran through several mountain loops in a while, Cao Cao saw Zhao Yun wandering on the mountainside from a distance, and his heart was overjoyed, and the Absolute Shadow ran away, but Cao Cao implied that it would slow down.
When there was still a distance of five zhang between the two sides, Cao Cao stopped, he stared at Zhao Yun with slanted eyes, isn't this the young general he met when he fled?
"Zilong, don't come unharmed?" Cao Cao likes to say this sentence to show that he remembers the other party very much, but he is not familiar with the other party at all, but saying this can bring the two sides closer.
Zhao Yun finally waited for Cao Cao, saw that he was accompanied by Xu Huang, and saw that Cao Cao was sitting down as a transparent horse, and he was planning how to kill him as quickly as possible.
Zhao Yun was silent, staring at him coldly, Cao Cao's hair and beard were already a little white.
Cao Cao said with a smile: "Zilong, presumably you are not willing to surrender to the old man easily, so let's do it, what conditions do you have, just put it forward, the old man will promise you one by one!" ”
Xu Huang thought to himself, you are crazy, could it be that he wants your head, and you promise him?
As soon as Zhao Yun heard Cao Cao say this, he knew that it was Xu Shu who had surrendered, and suddenly had a plan, he wanted to concoct it in the same way, use the trick to deal with Cao Hong, deal with Cao Cao, and take advantage of his unpreparedness to pick him with one shot.
"Cao thief!" Zhao Yun scolded loudly, but Zhenru didn't start, Xu Huang pulled Cao Cao's sleeve, but saw that Cao Cao was still smiling slightly, Zhao Yun thought, this old thief is really treacherous, and he still laughs when he scolds him in person.
Cao Cao thought, Zhao Yun must be angry to come out, surrender the general, sometimes just like conquering women, some women are unwilling, and really want to commit to you, so they have to scold first to save some face, if you quarrel with her at this time, the good thing will be over, so be thick-skinned, let her scold it, and then it will be your person. The same is true for surrender, especially the stronger the martial arts, the more he must scold, if he can tolerate and tolerate him, it will increase his respect for the lord even more.
Cao Cao is a person who is used to being scolded, so he didn't think it was angry at all, and said with a smile: "Zilong, what do you want to scold me, the old man listens!" ”
"Cao thief, I really regret that I didn't kill you with one shot, so that you committed the ten major crimes!" Zhao Yun was not good at scolding, so he had to temporarily compile Liu Bei's usual words against Cao Cao into ten major crimes to attract the attention of Cao Cao and Xu Huang.
He secretly carried the truth so that the two of them could not be noticed, and then suddenly erupted, catching them off guard.
Cao Cao's face still did not change, and said: "The old man wants to listen to the ten major sins summarized by General Zilong for me." As the prime minister, the old man is open to speech, and Zilong scolds me, which is also right. ”
Zhao Yun also admired Cao Cao's bearing, he was really a person who could sweep the world, but unfortunately he hated his cunning and cruelty, and the scene of the Xuzhou Massacre was still vivid.
"The first sin, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes!"
Cao Cao laughed in his heart: This is also a crime? If there is no Cao Mengde in the world, I don't know how many people are emperors and how many people are kings!? I don't know how long the world will be in turmoil, and how many years of suffering the people will have to suffer! It seems that you Zhao Yun is nothing more than that, just a general!
Cao Cao didn't argue with him, and planned to listen to his "Ten Crimes" first.
"Well, please say the second one." Cao Cao thought, scolding him, he won't lose a piece of meat, if he is scolded a few words, he can be demoted to a general, and Gao Ran will not die in vain.
"Take the sword and go up to the temple, and stand and not kneel. Heavy troops are stationed at the palace gate and coerce the court, this is the second major crime! ”
If it weren't for such heavy pressure, wouldn't the emperor want to kill me, how could he not be guarded? This must have been told to him by Liu Bei, otherwise this Zhao Yun had never been to Xuchang, how could he know it clearly? I am so well prepared, you Liu Bei secretly colluded with the thief, and what kind of bloody edict did you have with the emperor's child, the old man is the ancestor of the assassination, how can you not guard against it? Protect yourself, so that the world will not fall into turmoil again, that is, to protect the people of the world, what is wrong with killing one or two thieves who don't know the times?
"Killing the uncle of the country, hanging the queen - the third major crime." Zhao Yun's voice became violent.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, thinking that Uncle Guo was the first offender, and if he killed Uncle Guo, he would kill the queen, would he let the child in the queen's womb avenge his uncle in a few decades?
"Xu Tian's Hunt - Four Sins." Zhao Yun spoke quickly, one after another.
In the fourth year of Jian'an, Emperor Liu Xie went to the suburbs to hunt, and the ministers of the court followed Cao Cao.
A sika deer drilled out of the jungle, Emperor Han Xian has been depressed, did not shoot, saw this sika deer, on a whim, bent the bow and shot arrows, but shot three arrows did not hit, anxious, saw Cao Cao sneering and staring at him, had to let Cao Cao shoot.
Cao Cao took the bow and arrow of the emperor and hit it with one arrow. When the eunuchs saw that it was a golden arrow, they thought it was shot by the emperor, and they all flocked to the long live horse to congratulate him.
Cao Cao was a little annoyed, and rode his horse to stand in front of the emperor, blocking him behind, and accepting the congratulations of the ministers.
The court was full of Cao Cao's subordinates, and when they saw Cao Cao openly accepting the congratulatory gifts of the Son of Heaven, they were even more energetic, and they drank him "Long live, long live, long live, long live".
"Cao thief!" Guan Yu was furious, he picked up Zhenru, raised his knife and was about to cut it, Liu Bei hurriedly held him down, and said softly: "Second brother, in the long run, now he has a lot of people, long live is beside him, you need to know the 'rat thrower'." ”
This story was heard by Zhao Yun from Zhang Fei's mouth, and at that time he also wanted Cao Cao to treacherously and oppress the saint, and it seems that the intention of usurping the throne has been revealed.
Cao Cao heard Zhao Yun say this, but he was not convinced: Zilong, Zilong, there is a hidden force to kill me in the court, I don't take this opportunity to test it, a few people are on my side, a few people are going to kill me, isn't it very dangerous for me? Liu Bei's husband didn't care about anything on the surface, but at a critical time, he was tempted by the old man, and the three of them ate my heart! You guys are really ridiculous, if I really want to usurp the Han, how can I be so blatant to lead the world to scold? Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, not only your lord Liu Bei knows!
Cao Cao wanted to tell Zhao Yun what he thought, but at this moment, he knew that he couldn't argue, if he opened his mouth, Zhao Yun would immediately turn around and leave, the twisted melon was not sweet, then Xu Shu would often sneer and sneer, and he didn't come up with any schemes, but this time it was good, he had changed a little.
Cao Cao nodded slightly and continued: "I want to smell the next one!" ”
Zhao Yun saw that he was not angry at all, and he was also surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Cao Cao to be able to bear the infamy, and he couldn't help but admire a little, but after thinking about it, it was this old thief who was very thick-skinned to do these shameless things.
Zhao Yun thought about it, and he couldn't stand scolding!
"Three copies of Jiping - the fifth great sin."
In the fifth year of Jian'an, the imperial physician Ji Ping was also a member of the blood edict incident, and like Liu Bei, he saw the blood edict given to him by Uncle Dong Guo, he was Cao Cao's personal doctor, and naturally knew Cao Cao's body very well.
Cao Cao had a headache, and he had a terrible headache when he had an attack, and he couldn't get out of bed.
Ji Ping immediately said to Uncle Dong Guo: "It's easy to kill Cao thief, as long as I poison the medicine, won't he die?" Uncle Dong Guo specially told him: "Give him non-poisonous medicine for days, with a dose of poison in between, and it is impossible to prevent it!" ”
Sure enough, after returning from Yecheng, Cao Cao's head stroke recurred, and he asked Jiping for treatment as usual.
When Ji Ping was taking Cao Cao's pulse, he didn't expect Cao Cao to be staring at him all the time, Ji Ping's hand trembled slightly, but he didn't notice it, but he was seen by Cao Cao, because he was thinking about how to poison Cao Cao, and how to secretly escape from Xuchang under the arrangement of Uncle Dong Guo, so his mind was not on diagnosis.
Cao Cao saw that his facial muscles twitched slightly, and his hands were not as dexterous as usual, but a little stiff, and his heart became suspicious.
After Ji Ping retreated, Cao Cao didn't ask him, and after Ji Ping poisoned the medicine, Cao Cao woke up, how did this Ji Ping personally carry the medicine bowl!
Ordinary doctors see a doctor, see a doctor, prescribe prescriptions, grab medicine, boil medicine are all things that people do, He Lao Jiping personally serves?
Cao Cao secretly laughed and said, you Ji Ping, you must be going to poison me! But you're just a doctor, and if you want to kill someone, it must be against the doctor's original intention. What's more, you want to poison me, but you are so flawed. You know, you want to poison it, but Cao Mengde, who has the power of the world, has seen all kinds of storms and waves, and has lived nine deaths!
After taking the medicine bowl, Cao Cao pretended to be fine, stared at Ji Ping and said, "Why did you personally send the medicine today?" ”
Ji Ping didn't expect him to ask like this, he was shocked, his eyes averted, he looked to the side and said: "The prime minister is very sick this time, Ji Ping can't rest assured, there is a medicine in the medicine, which needs to be boiled in a special heat, so he personally boiled it for the prime minister to eat." ”
You're quick to respond! Cao Cao smiled secretly, he blew the medicine, and said: "I can't get up, this medicine seems to be very hot, you drink a few for me to try first, it's not hot, I'll take it again." ”
Ji Ping saw him grinding and grinding, anxious, living here like a year, last night, he tossed and turned all night without sleeping, and repeatedly demonstrated the picture of poisoning Cao Cao in his mind, but also because he was too anxious, his face was not good, and his eyes were also black, at this time he knew that if he drank a sip, he would also die, so he hurriedly said: "I have tasted it before sending it over, it is not hot at all, the prime minister drink it quickly." If it's cold, it won't work. ”
Cao Cao simply frowned and pushed the bowl away, and said, "The old man doesn't want to drink, you take a sip first and I'll take a look!" ”
Ji Ping said: "Prime Minister, drink it quickly, there is a very difficult live bear bile to obtain, and there will be no curative effect after a while!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and poured it into Cao Cao's mouth.
Cao Cao was furious, thinking that he could have let you go, pretending not to know, but you actually wanted to poison me, and flew up with a kick in Ji Ping's abdomen, Ji Ping had no martial arts, and was kicked by him and flew to the stone pillar, and immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, the medicine bowl fell to the ground, the medicine juice spilled on the ground, and the floor tiles immediately corroded with bubbles.
"Someone, catch him!"
The ironclad guards outside the door heard a strange noise in the inner court, and had already rushed in, grabbing Ji Ping, who saw that the matter was exposed, and scolded Cao Thief, "Cut off his tongue!" ”
Ji Ping's mouth was full of blood, and he pointed at Cao Cao, whining.
"Cut off all his fingers!" Cao Cao was so angry that the ironclad guards had no choice but to swing his sword and cut off Ji Ping's ten fingers together.
Ji Ping, who was so painful that he wanted to faint, stomped his feet desperately, and Cao Cao was so angry that he sat up from the bed, pointed at Ji Ping and said angrily: "Shut up, stop talk!" The old man treats you well, how can you kill me!? ”
Ji Ping "poof", sprayed a mouthful of blood on Cao Cao's face, and looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Chop off both of his feet!" Cao Cao was furious.
Ji Ping died in inhumane torture, and no doctor was willing to treat Cao Cao again.
"Alas, at that time, the old man was angry, and he really lost his mind and went too far. What else? Cao Cao's face was full of regret, and Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he saw that he was not in a calm mood, and continued: "Killing Lu Bohao's entire family - the sixth major crime. ”
