Yang Xiu raised his head and looked at his father,

It feels like I've never really gotten to know him,

The tall image of childhood reappeared,

As if there was this man in everything,

Able to stand steadfast in front of oneself,

Solve all your troubles for yourself.

Now though his hair is gray,

Even the body is a little rickety,

But at this moment,

But he became tall and straight again,

Yang Xiu sincerely opened his mouth to ask for advice:

"Please ask my father to teach me."

Yang Biao turned his head to look at his son,

In his clear eyes,

That look of admiration,

How long has it been since it appeared,

A year? Three years? Five years? Decade?

It seems like too long, too long,

It's been so long that I'm about to forget,

Seeing again at this moment,

This eunuch has been up and down for decades,

The old man who has seen through the rise and fall,

The original state of mind that was already ancient and unwavering,

Warm ripples again,

Smiling and answering:

"It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles."

Yang Xiu silently repeated this sentence,

Suddenly his eyes lit up,

vaguely understood what my father meant,

Nervously asked:

"Father, the child has never traveled far, and he was always stuck to the ancient precept that his parents were there and did not travel far, but he forgot that there is still half a sentence behind him."

Yang Biao smiled and stroked his beard,

Asked softly:

"So do I have a direction?"

While speaking,

Yang Biao stood up,

Take the lead and walk out of the garden.

Yang Xiu followed closely behind him,

After a little hesitation, he said:

"Father, the child compared, the south is beautiful, and the south is also prolific that fair woman, the child is very yearning, but then think about the south is full of insects, the child is fine-skinned and tender, most of them will not adapt to the soil and water, so they simply give up going to the south."

Listening to my son's frivolous words,

If it is before tonight,

Yang Biao would definitely stare at his eyes and shout angrily: "Rebel! ”

But at this moment,

An old man who has always been known for his integrity and old-fashionedness,

But he smiled and nodded,

Although the smile on the corner of his mouth is quite helpless and headache,

I didn't pursue it any further.

Yang Xiu peeked at his father's back,

There is no intention of turning around or kicking backwards,

I couldn't help but grow bold,

"Therefore, the child wants to go to the north to have a look, to feel the prosperity of Jizhou, which is rich and unparalleled, and at the same time to see the rough and wild scenery outside the border of Bingzhou......"

Yang Biao always walked forward at a uniform speed,

After listening to his son's words,

He didn't say a word again,

It's just that the pace seems to have become a lot lighter at this time.

Finally, in front of the old man's dwelling,

The two stopped in turn,

The old man had a pleased smile on the corner of his mouth,

Then raise your head,

Seeing the candle burning in the room in the distance,

and a familiar figure,

The smile on the corner of the old man's mouth became warmer.

Turning around slowly,

The old man patted his son on the shoulder,

"Son, I've finally grown up. Before leaving, Dad has nothing to ask for, so I will send you two more sentences. ”

Yang Xiu's expression was listening to his ears.

"'A gentleman wants to be quick to talk, but quick to carry; Another sentence: Countless friends who are willing to contribute three points are far less than a noble person who is willing to give ten points, and the more critical the time, the more so. ”

Yang Xiu's body shook slightly,

Bow respectfully,

When he bowed his head,

But his father had already turned and gone into the room.

Yang Xiu straightened up and stared into the room,

The corners of the mouth curved slightly.

Three days later, the only seedling of the Yang family,

Yang Xiu's son is in a green building,

Because of a brilliant Oiran,

There was a conflict with the son of the country's family, Volan,

At that time, Fu Lang was also accompanied by Zhang Ting, the grandson of Weiwei Zhang Jian,

and several other gentlemen in Xu County,

Yang Xiu's two fists are invincible to four hands,

In full view,

was severely humiliated by the other party.

This matter was originally in Xu County,

It's an extremely ordinary thing,

These children of eunuchs who have nothing to do all day,

Every once in a while, there will be a trouble,

Most of the fathers don't go back to get used to their children's nonsense.

After all, both sides know very well in their hearts,

It won't make too much of a mess.

But this time,

The son of the Yang family doesn't know which tendon is wrong,

Maybe it's too bad to be humiliated,

When the night came, taking advantage of the night,

specially ambushed the young master of the country's grandfather's family,

This violent beating directly beat Fu Lang to almost no human shape,

Almost discounted both legs,

This can poke a hornet's nest,

That night, the chickens and dogs in Xu County jumped,

With his other four sons,

rushed towards the Yang Mansion with great momentum,

When Yang Biao hurriedly walked out of the house with his subordinates,

He also looked sleepy-eyed.

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter,

The old man took the broom of the porter and walked into the courtyard.

The old and young masters of the Fu family followed,

But where can I find the trace of Yang Gongzi,

Later, I heard the maid in Yang Gongzi's house,

Yang Gongzi didn't come back after he left home in the afternoon,

The luggage seems to have been taken away,

Only then did everyone react,

This son seems to be planning to talk,

After beating people, they run away,

Master Yang apologized for all kinds of apologies at that time,

Early in the morning of the second day, I went to the Abbot's Mansion with countless heavy gifts to apologize.

The name of the Hongnong Yang clan is not much worse than the Runan Yuan clan.

Although the grandfather of the country is also from a famous family,

But in comparison, it's still a big difference.

The Yang family is so aware of current affairs,

Although the stubborn Yang Xiu escaped without a trace,

But Master Yang's sincere apology and remedy also gave the country enough face.

In the end, it's just a battle of will between juniors.

There is no real irreparable loss,

After the father-in-law of the country finishes the lurk, he will take advantage of the slope and get off the donkey,

It's just the relationship between the two sides above the court,

It becomes more subtle,

And this kind of absurd thing at this time,

It also made many court bigwigs,

His mind began to come alive again at great speed.

In a council chamber in Sikong Mansion,

Inside the spacious room,

There were only three people sitting,

Cao Cao, Chen Gong, Xun Yu.

Sanrao looked at the huge topographic map together,

Above is the terrain of the whole territory of Xuzhou,

the situation of the military forces in each military town, etc.,

are very clearly marked,

It can be seen that

Cao Cao's intelligence team is also very good.

Cao Cao said softly:

"Gongtai, how is the war ahead now?"

Chen Gong hurriedly got up,

Pick up a wooden pole on the table,

Point on the topographic map:

"Lord, now our army has occupied the entire Pengcheng country, and at the same time, Donghai County has also occupied Yinping, Chengxian, Lanling and other places west of the line, at this time, our army occupies twelve county towns in Xuzhou. General Xiahoudun is now leading more than 20,000 people to be stationed outside Xiangben City. ”

Cao Cao stared at the topographic map,

Whispered:

"Yuan makes their speed not slow, half a month's effort, almost one county a day."

Chen Gong hurriedly opened his mouth and echoed:

"General Xiahou and the two sons have conquered everything, which is really a blessing for the lord. However, the army fought for days, and it was inevitable that the soldiers were sleepy and lacking, and this was a surprise attack on Xuzhou, and the soldiers and food brought were limited, so General Xiahou was also helpless to be stationed in the cluster. ”

Cao Cao nodded,

Chen Gong deliberately pointed out the two points of insufficient food for the troops and the fact that the offensive was too fast.

In fact, the deep meaning is to remind Cao Cao,

Don't rush it,

Otherwise, it will cause future troubles,

Cao Cao naturally understood what he meant,

Nodding, he asked:

"How is the follow-up work prepared for the county town that has been occupied?"

Hearing Cao Cao's question,

Chen Gong and Xun Yu glanced at each other,

The complexion instantly became difficult to see,

It's not that they didn't do it well.

but because before the troops,

Cao Cao ordered that no chickens and dogs should be left where he passed,

An army of resentment in their breasts, clothed in plains,

faithfully carried out the order to slaughter the city,

Especially during the Battle of Pengcheng,

More than 10,000 households in Pengcheng,

Up to the Pengcheng order, down to the chickens and ducks raised by ordinary people,

It's really a complete slaughter,

A great city has almost become a purgatory on earth,

A heavy smell of blood,

Even from a dozen miles away, you can hear it clearly,

The whole city became a ghost domain,

Before you finally leave,

Xiahoudun even ordered the city to be burned,

This ancient city that has stood for thousands of years,

Together with the tens of thousands of unjust souls in the city,

All in flames,

The people of the entire Xuzhou were terrified,

And the whole world was shaken,

Countless scoldings poured in.

Comparatively,

The other dozen or so counties,

The massacre of nearly 30% of the people was killed,

It pales in comparison.

Xiahoudun's army of 25,000,

Now, half a month later,

Less than 6,000 people were lost.

But more than 100,000 people have been slaughtered.

Among them, there are only about 30,000 soldiers in Xuzhou.

The rest of the people are all unarmed Xuzhou people,

And the reason why it can have such a remarkable record,

Most of the reasons are:

Cao Jun's fierce means,

Let the Xuzhou army from the top to the leading generals,

down to the spear-bearer,

Many people were frightened,

This is the moment of collapse on the battlefield,

But over time,

The numbness of the tragedy and the growing hatred for Cao Jun,

The Xuzhou army also began to resist stubbornly,

Xiahoudun's troops,

Only then did he temporarily stop under the city of Xiangben.

In the aftermath of the Great War,

Yanzhou quickly dispatched people to prepare to take over the occupied cities in Xuzhou.

But one massacre after another,

not only caused officials at all levels in the city,

In particular, there is a large lack of middle and low-level officials,

At the same time, the rebellion of the people in the city became more and more intense.

This makes the follow-up work extremely difficult.

Fortunately, Xun Yu is worthy of being Wang Zuozhicai,

Even in moments like these,

It was still able to maintain normal operation in an orderly manner.

At this time, I heard Cao Cao's question,

Although Xun Yu's face was very ugly,

But he replied:

"Most of the personnel in the cities have already been stationed, but because of the ......, the work in various places is more difficult to handle, and it will take a while to fully stabilize."

Cao Cao nodded expressionlessly,

Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao's face,

After hesitation, he spoke:

"Lord, it's just that the slaughter of the city can stop here, the impact is too great......

After Xun Yu finished this sentence,

The atmosphere in the room immediately froze,

Cao Cao's eyebrows furrowed tightly,

The whole person immediately exuded a cold aura,

There was a faint flash of anger in his eyes,

Although there are no words,

But that gesture clearly expressed what he was thinking.

Xun Yu's lips were tightly closed,

But he looked at Cao Cao-for-tat,

didn't pay attention to Chen Gong on the side at all,

The eyes that keep passing over,

After a deep sigh,

Speaking again, he admonished:

"Lord, he Tao Gongzu was not strict, resulting in the death of the old lady, this is Tao Gongzu's fault, since the matter has come to this, the lord has also vented his anger, why not stop it. The great cause is important, my lord! ”

At the same time as these words,

Xun Yu's face is sad,

There are already cloudy tears flowing out of a pair of eyes,

When the husband is angry, he kills,

The son is angry and the corpses are all over the field,

Although Cao Cao is not that big man,

But now you're commonplace,

And with heavy armies in hand,

The consequences of his anger are also very serious.

With Cao Cao's character,

This revenge for killing the father,

If you can't vent it,

The consequences of enduring it will only be more terrible,

Because of the beginning of the building after Cao Cao gave such an order,

Whether it is Chen Gong or he Xun Yu,

Although he advised, he did not insist on it in every way.

But now, nearly 100,000 people have been slaughtered.

Cao Cao's anger has been vented a lot,

But judging by his attitude,

But he doesn't seem to want to stop there,

But if this slaughter continues,

Regardless of Cao Cao,

and the influence of the entire group,

It's just these dead people,

For the entire Central Plains,

It was a veritable catastrophe.

Therefore, Xun Yu is willing to risk death at this moment,

This is the advice to Cao Cao.

The chamber fell silent,

Only Cao Cao's increasingly heavy breathing kept echoing,

The atmosphere became very eerie,

It's suffocating,

Chen Gong looked at the two anxiously,

He has been serving Cao Cao for a short time,

But he and Cao Cao met late,

Many of the political views of the two sides are very consistent,

Even if this time he ordered the slaughter of the city,

Chen Gong also felt that the methods were too cruel before,

For the future development of Cao Cao Group,

For Cao Cao to do this,

Although there are some disappointments,

But there was no more resentment,

On the contrary, Cao Cao's decision to be so humane,

On the contrary, let the temperament spare Chen Palace,

I feel admired from a certain aspect.

And for Xun Yu, a famous family,

A humble gentleman with an elegant temperament,

Chen Gong is admiration from the bottom of his heart,

Although the two don't have much contact,

But Chen Gong was impressed by Xun Yu,

Whether it is the other party's family background, talent, bearing or personal charm,

They were all worthy of the romantic characters at that time,

Let Chen Gong's eyes be envious,

At this time, it was the first time to see such a-for-tat confrontation between the two,

This made Chen Gong feel very embarrassed and headache,

To be sure, things have come to this point,

He Chen Gong also thinks that venting is enough,

It's just that Cao Cao and the children of the Cao family behind him,

and the Xiahou family, who has always supported him the most,

Apparently not so.

After thinking about it again and again,

Chen Gong finally opened his mouth:

"Lord ......"
