Chapter 403 Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron (5,000 Words 2-in-1 Chapter)
"Here!" Suddenly, soldiers shouted at the edge of a wall.
Hua Xin walked two steps over, only to see Fu Shou hiding in a narrow wall, no longer dignified and generous, trembling all over, and his face was full of horror.
"When you wanted to assassinate Prime Minister Cao Cheng, did you ever think that there is today?" Hua Xin sneered and shouted, "Don't come out yet?" ”
"No!" Fu Shou's body trembled, and Zhen shook his head violently.
She couldn't have dreamed of why.
The letter she wrote to her father, even if her father didn't destroy it, such a terrible thing would never be put away, and her father had been dead for more than a year, how did Cao Cao get that letter?
"Do you think you can hide here for the rest of your life?"
Hua Xin smiled cruelly, rolled up his sleeves, didn't care about his identity, rushed forward and grabbed Fu Shou's hair, and dragged Fu Shou out of the wall.
Although Fu Shou struggled hard and slapped the other party's arm with her hand, how could she compare her strength to Hua Xin as a woman?
She screamed in horror, her hair was scattered, and she cried out in her mouth: "Your Majesty, save me, save me!" ”
Liu Xie looked at his beautiful and dignified queen in such a situation, and was dragged by his subordinates by his hair in front of him.
He couldn't help but feel like a knife, burst into tears, looked up to the sky and said, "God, is there such a thing in the world?"
If Cao Cao doesn't regard me as the emperor, let him kill me together. ”
It's a pity that no one cares about the soldiers around him.
Soon Hua Xin dragged Fu Shou out of the dormitory, and the surrounding soldiers also walked cleanly, the surroundings were empty, silent, and there was no one.
Liu Xie sat on the ground weakly, pounding his chest that seemed to be blocked, and kept asking himself, what did he do wrong?
Could it be that it was wrong to kill Cao Cao, divide Liu Ping, and take back what belongs to him?
I am the emperor and a descendant of the surname Liu, shouldn't this be the case?
Hua Xin threw Fu Shou into a side hall and sent someone to imprison him.
Cao Cao's order was only to depose the empress, and he did not order the killing.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the next day, the news spread quickly, and those old ministers loyal to the Han family were about to explode.
Cao Cao is only the prime minister of the Han family, and it is true that the government affairs are managed by the prime minister, but the harem is the emperor's family affair, and Cao Cao actually abolished the queen without saying anything, which is also ridiculous.
And in such a rude way, he sent people to rush into the emperor's bedroom to arrest the queen, which is simply unheard of.
The old ministers didn't care about Cao Cao's obscenity, and led by Xun Yue Kong Rong, gathered at the Prime Minister's Mansion to denounce such atrocities.
Everyone indignantly accused Cao Cao of his atrocities, and Cao Cao did not argue with these people, because these people represented the group of scholars in the world who still had their hearts set on the Han family.
Unless Cao Cao wanted to break with so many scholars in the world, he would never dare to move them easily.
He first showed the letter written by Fu Shou to Fu Wan at that time, and asked everyone to comment on it.
When everyone saw the letter, they were all stunned.
At this time, Cao Cao said with great sadness: "If this letter is an edict from Your Majesty, the so-called king let the minister die, and the minister has to die, I have nothing to say."
But this letter is from Fu Shou, even if Fu Shou is the queen, what right does he have to kill a courtier?
Harem politics, this is a taboo in the court, she is a ruthless, duplicitous and vicious woman, how can she be in the middle palace, the mother of the world
Since I welcomed the Son of Heaven to Xudu, I have worked hard day and night to restore the Han Dynasty, but the poisonous woman actually wanted to find an assassin to assassinate me.
The gentlemen commented on the reasoning, how could people not chill. ”
When he said this, Cao Cao burst into tears.
Xun Yue and the others suddenly looked at each other dumbfounded.
Everyone knows that Cao Cao is arguing with reason, and although this letter is from Fu Shou's hand, it must have been approved by the emperor.
But Fu Shou can't represent the emperor after all, this kind of letter actually fell into the hands of Cao Cao, how could Cao Cao not use the topic to play?
"Prime Minister Cao Cheng certainly feels aggrieved," someone said weakly, "but...... That method is too rough, arresting the queen in front of the Son of Heaven, this unprecedented thing in ancient and modern times, if it is spread, I am afraid it will not be good for the reputation of the prime minister. ”
"Yes, yes, what Your Excellency said," Cao Cao nodded again and again: "I will go to the table and apologize to Your Majesty." ”
In the last table, admit your mistake, and there is no loss at all.
But this time, the queen was directly abolished, and Cao Cao finally let out that evil breath, which was also a powerful counterattack to the Han family's original separation between their son-in-law.
Otherwise, the Han family really thought that he was pinched in mud, and moths appeared frequently behind his back, but he couldn't stand it.
Of course, this incident is also fortunate that Liu Ping let Man Chong search for the letter, so that he could find a mountain of ironclad evidence, otherwise he would not dare to do it.
Thinking of Liu Ping, Cao Cao's heart twitched again.
Although it was very relieved to fight back against the emperor, it has become a fact that the Han family has made Liu Ping the king, and how to face the son-in-law and subordinate who is the prince in the future is still a headache.
At this time, Liu Ping was confined to the mansion by Cao Cao, but Liu Ping was not as depressed as he imagined.
On the contrary, after such a long period of continuous battles, I am indeed about to be exhausted, and now that I am finally free, I am very happy.
Close the door of the mansion, he is the emperor of the soil in this small space, not only with fine clothes and jade food, but also beautiful women like clouds, how cool and refreshing such a day is.
Of course, he didn't keep salting fish.
According to the calculation of time, Guo Jia's life is about to come to an end.
Although Guo Jia seems to be uninhibited, no one can deny his extreme intelligence.
He likes Liu Ping's wine, and he admires Liu Ping as a person, but he never helps Liu Ping speak in the open.
It's just that every word he says will be beneficial to Liu Ping in the long run.
Of course, this love has to be accepted, so Liu Ping doesn't want to watch Guo Jia die.
In his spare time, he writes down the prescriptions for typhoid fever and detoxification that he remembers in his mind.
Because according to history, Guo Jia was on the way to Wuhuan in the north, due to the fatigue of the saddle horse, he contracted the wind and cold, plus he was weak and sick since he was a child, in order to suppress his illness, he learned the Danshu and made his own alchemy, so that the heavy metal deposits could not be eliminated in the body.
A combination of multiple diseases, at that time, it was on the march, there was a lack of medical treatment, how could there be a reason for immortality?
Thinking that Guo Jia was unhappy without wine, Liu Ping recalled the recipes of later generations and brewed medicinal wine.
As for the efficacy, let's take Guo Jia as a guinea pig.
A few months have passed, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Many things have happened in the past few months, the biggest of which is that Yuan Shao fell ill and died.
Since the defeat of Guandu, Yuan Shao fled back to Yecheng with only a few hundred horsemen, and since he returned, he has been ill because of resentment.
After all, the 200,000 army was wiped out in his hands, and he felt that he had already become the laughing stock of the world.
How could a man with such a good reputation stand such ridicule?
Later, I finally didn't think about tea and dinner, and I died with a whimper.
However, he was particularly fond of his third son Yuan Shang because of his good looks, and Yuan Tan was the eldest son, and he had a lot of credits, so he did not officially establish a prince until he died, which led to the chaos of Yuan's civil and military affairs after his death.
Most of the people led by Guo Tuxin are ready to set up Yuan Tan as the main master.
However, the trial and Feng Ji have always been disgusted by Yuan Tan, and they have had a holiday with Xin Ping and Guo Tu, worried that Yuan Tan will be harmed after he ascends the throne, so he privately forged a copy of Yuan Shao's will and set up Yuan Shang to succeed him.
Yuan Tan could not succeed to the throne, so he called himself the general of the chariot cavalry, and the two brothers turned against each other and fought each other.
In the end, Yuan Tan was defeated, and in desperation, he asked Cao Cao for help and asked the Cao family to send troops to help attack his younger brother.
Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed, and immediately ordered Cao Hong as the commander, Guo Jia as the military advisor, and Zhang Hele as the vanguard, leading 30,000 troops to Hebei.
With Yuan Tan, the leading party, as the internal response, Cao's army was like a bamboo along the way, and soon captured six counties, gained a firm foothold north of the Yellow River, and pointed directly at Yecheng.
……
In the Yecheng official office, Yuan Shang stood in front of the two of them.
"Now that Cao's morale is at its peak, it has pointed directly at my Yecheng, what can I do?" The dignified Yuan Shang's brows were twisted into a pimple.
It is said that Hebei's comprehensive strength is still stronger than Henan, where the Cao family is located, but Yuan Shang, the lord of Hebei, has suffering.
Yuan Shao had already divided the four states of Hebei equally to his three sons and a nephew to guard them, and the four states had already been divided into four pieces, and no one obeyed anyone, and Yuan Shang only occupied the largest piece.
Now that their brothers are fighting, it just happened for the Cao family to take advantage of the situation and occupy a large area of Hebei.
"Lord," Feng Ji sighed: "At the beginning of the battle of Guandu, my Hebei youth and strength were lost, and it was difficult to match the Cao family.
Later, the lord and Yuan Tan attacked each other for several months, and the losses were even greater.
Now if you want to resist the offensive of the Cao army, it is difficult! ”
"Mr. Feng, if you can't resist Cao Jun, do you want me to give up the land of Hebei?" Yuan Shang's young face was full of worry.
In fact, he is not an embroidered pillow, he is also very smart, quite strategic, but the stall left by his father is too pitiful.
"My lord, I have a plan for it." The judge said suddenly.
"What does Mr. Shen have for me?"
"Draw wages from the bottom of the kettle!"
"How?"
"Although the Cao army is very strong, but to capture my six counties in Hebei, and to leave people to defend the rear, at this time it is already the end of the strong crossbow, therefore, they will definitely not dare to attack Yecheng, the lord please relax," the judge stabilized Yuan Shang's mood, and then said: "However, let the Cao army gain a firm foothold in Hebei, if Cao Cao continues to increase his troops, that is the biggest trouble for my Yecheng." ”
Yuan Shang nodded slightly, not daring to interrupt the words of the trial.
"Therefore, it is the most urgent thing to prevent Cao's army from increasing troops to Hebei."
The judge paused, came to the brown sheepskin map hanging on it, and tapped his finger and said: "Therefore, I suggest that at this time, immediately send people to garrison Hedong and quickly enter the map pass, so as to contain Cao's army from the flank." ”
Guanzhong is in the west of Cao's family, Yecheng is in the north of Cao's family, if there is a Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, then Cao's family will not dare to go all out to attack Hebei, but must always be on guard against Guanzhong to outflank his back road.
"Also," the judge obviously had a whole set of plans, and he continued confidently: "That Cao Cao's name is Han Xiang, but he is actually a Han thief, forcing the Han family to enter the duke, adding nine tins, and abolishing the queen without authorization, the heart of disobedience is obvious.
The lord can send people to contact Xiliang Ma Teng Han Sui, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Jiangdong Sun Quan, and jointly send troops to Qin Wang, for the Han family to fight for thieves, and the Qing monarch side.
Then the Cao clan still has the strength to attack me? ”
"Wonderful," Yuan Shang stroked his palms and laughed: "Sir's strategy of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle is really wonderful."
In this way, the Cao clan will definitely not be able to look north, and I can take advantage of the situation to regain the lost ground and exterminate Yuan Tan.
Order, ordering Guo Yuan to be the Taishou of Hedong, quickly march into Guanzhong, and send people to Xiliang ......"
……
The judgment was correct, although the Cao army that marched north fought very smoothly, but after all, it was a lone army, and every county had to be divided into troops to defend it, so as to ensure that the supply of grain and grass in the rear was undecided.
The consequence of this is that the more counties you take, the more people you will garrison, and the fewer people you will have to push forward.
After taking the six counties, Cao Hong only had more than 10,000 troops left around him who could be mobilized, and the logistics supply line was so long that he could not fight any longer.
Besides, with 30,000 of them, winning six counties in such a short period of time is already a great feat.
It just so happened that at this time, the military advisor Guo Jia was sick again, so Cao Hong honestly held the territory he had captured, and then sent someone to send Guo Jia back to Xudu to recuperate.
As soon as Guo Jia returned to Xudu, Cao Cao went to visit him in person.
Seeing that Guo Jia was weak and sick, Cao Cao sat down in distress and said: "Feng Xiao is my Cao family's foundation, it is really heartbreaking, this time I sent troops to capture the six counties, and Feng Xiao has made great contributions." ”
"This is my responsibility, the lord praised it," Guo Jia on the sickbed coughed twice.
"Fengxiao will stay in Xudu to recuperate, and I will personally lead the army to conquest for Hebei, so Fengxiao will not have to work hard."
At this time, Cao Cao could already see that Hebei was actually vulnerable, and as long as he concentrated his forces, he would soon be able to pocket the land of Sizhou.
"It's all about recuperation," Cao Cao said with a smile.
"My body has always been like this, ahem, what's wrong?" Guo Jia's lips were a little pale, he smiled bitterly, smashed it, and said: "If you can drink a sip of the good wine brewed by Ping Gongzi, this disease will immediately be improved by seven or eight points." ”
"You're all like this, and you're still thinking about drinking?"
Cao Cao is much older than Guo Jia, and he was originally going to treat Guo Jia as a minister who entrusted him, so he spoke casually in front of Guo Jia.
He paused, looked at Guo Jia's slightly gloomy eyes, and sighed: "That's it, with the amount of alcohol you drink, it doesn't hurt to drink a bowl less."
I didn't ask Ping'er about the crime, if you want to drink, send someone to fetch it yourself, presumably he won't be stingy. ”
"Thank you, Prime Minister, ahem," Guo Jia suddenly showed joy on his face, and said: "I always drink Pinggongzi's wine for nothing, and it seems that I am too stingy in Xia, so I will take money to buy it this time." ”
"Why bother?" Cao Cao waved his hand.
……
Liu Ping has been bored in the house for a few months, and he has been screaming all day long, and he can get tired of the days surrounded by beautiful women, do you say that he is angry?
But no matter how immortal it is, every day, and you can't go out, you will naturally get tired.
On this day, he was filtering medicinal wine in the study, and suddenly Menzi came to report, "Someone outside the door claimed to be from Guo Saijiu's house, and he said that Guo Saijiu came to buy wine on the order of the prime minister." ”
"Guo Fengxiao is still cautious," Liu Ping smiled slightly, Guo Jia came to buy wine in order to avoid suspicion, and must have reported to his father-in-law first.
Wait a minute!
When did Guo Jialai pay for drinking?
Liu Pington was puzzled, "Bring that person to see me!" ”
Not long after, a young man dressed as a subordinate was brought to Liu Ping's study, bowed down and put a money bag on the table, and then said respectfully: "On the orders of my master, I came to buy wine." ”
When he had finished speaking, the man stood aside with his hands down, and said no more.
"Your master, didn't say anything else?" Liu Ping glanced at the man intently.
The man shook his head and said with a confused expression: "The master only said this, and didn't say anything else." ”
"Take him to drink, by the way, I have another medicinal wine to give to Mr. Guo, it is good for his illness, you must take it with you at any time and drink it often, remember, remember."
Liu Ping said, took out a delicate wine jug, and handed it to the next person.
Then he waved his hand again, and asked the young man to be taken down.
He had already taught Qin Luofu and others the process of making wine, and after he was absent for such a long time, the women had really made a lot of wine, and naturally there was a lot of stock.
But Guo Jia actually started to pay for drinking, what does it mean?
Liu Ping was confused and shook open the money bag, which contained hundreds of copper coins.
In fact, now in troubled times, food prices are soaring, and these hundreds of copper coins are not even enough for the cost of making wine, but that is Guo Jia, how can he stick to a few hundred wine money?
Liu Ping passed these five-baht coins one by one, and found nothing abnormal.
Except for a few pieces that have been carved with lotus leaf-like patterns, it looks like they are newly carved.
If this is engraved by Guo Jia, lotus leaf? What does it represent?
Liu Pingxiang's head hurt, and he didn't understand what kind of message Guo Jia wanted to convey to him.
At this time, the maid Xiaocheng came in with food, and it turned out that it was already time for lunch.
Xiao Cheng knelt next to him, prepared a meal for Liu Ping, and then smiled sweetly: "Master, eat." ”
Liu Ping was not in the mood to eat, so he picked up a copper coin engraved with a pattern and asked, "Look at it, what does this look like?" ”
He felt like he had gotten his fingers up, so he wanted to brainstorm ideas.
Unexpectedly, after Xiao Cheng saw it, his face immediately turned red with shame, and he showed a twisted look: "Does the master want the slave to sleep?" ”
Liu Ping: "......"
"No, where did you see that this pattern is related to the bed?" Liu Ping asked with a black line on his head.
"The master painted this, isn't it...... P-share ...... "small orange sound like a mosquito flyway."
Poof-
Liu Ping squirted out a mouthful of water.
However, he took a closer look, and the two sides of this pattern were symmetrical, and it really looked a bit like a P-share.
Guo Jia painted P shares for himself?
It's disgusting!
"Serve the bed, know the bed, all day long," Liu Ping naturally knew that Guo Jia definitely didn't mean this, he said angrily: "Shouldn't you think about something serious?" ”
"Master, do we have something to think about now?" Xiao Cheng's big watery eyes widened and looked at Liu Ping in a daze.
Liu Ping was at a loss, what this little girl said made sense, with his current situation, the so-called business should be to eat and sleep all day, sleep and eat, and consider which concubine to sleep.
It's just that with his past morality, he can't bear to attack a group of such young girls.
But the crux of the matter is that this little girl dared to talk back to him.
"Little Orange, who gave you such guts? The skin is itchy again, isn't it? ”
As he spoke, Liu Ping pretended to be angry and reached out to twist Xiao Cheng's ear.
"Ears, ears, masters, slaves and maids hurt," Xiao Cheng also cried and screamed.
Hearing her shout, Liu Ping suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, ears?
He immediately understood what Guo Jia meant, it was like a lotus leaf, and it looked like a P-share pattern, but it was actually two ears......
