Cao Zhang was watching intently, and suddenly such a sentence came from behind him, which almost startled him.

As for why it was said to be almost, it was because he had Fang Tian's halberd at hand, if someone really wanted to do something to him, I am afraid that before he was injured, the guy who wanted to do it had already separated his body, which was the confidence that he Cao Zhang had only had after many years of fighting!

"You are..."Cao Zhang looked at the young man who limped over in the dark, he had just crawled out of the crypt, and he really couldn't see who he was for the first time.

"Shizi, did you forget about a certain family?" Han Long smiled bitterly and made a joke in the Bingzhou dialect, which evoked Cao Zhang's memories!

"Hanlon!" Cao Zhang exclaimed, "You kid.... I didn't expect to see you here, kid, what are you doing here? ”

Before Han Long could answer him, Cao Zhang slapped his head and said, "Look at the memory of a certain family, you traveled with your teacher, I heard that Guorang became the county guard of Nanyang County, and I think your teacher also brought you here, why are you here now?" ”

There is no problem for Cao Zhang to think so, because this is Chibi, when Chibi fought in the first battle, I don't know how many Wenchen generals died here, and countless souls sank to the bottom of the river.

Not missing it, Han Long shook his head at him.

"Shizi, now a certain family is not called Li Lian Li Hanlong, now a certain family is called Han Long, Saibei Han Long!" Han Long explained first, and then made a big salute to Cao Zhang, "School Office, Han Long has seen Cao Zhang's son!" ”

"School Minister?" Cao Chang was a little stunned after hearing Han Long's words, but he quickly reacted, "Forget it, everyone has their own way, and everyone has their own choice, it's nothing if you choose to enter the school office, but you still have to remember one sentence, don't do that hurtful thing!" ”

"Don't worry, Han Long remembers the teachings of the prince!"

"Hmm!" Cao Zhang nodded, patted Han Long's shoulder heavily with his right hand, and said in a serious tone, "The school government is very powerful, and even in many cases, you can decide a matter with a word, this right is very important, don't lose yourself, you have to remember, remember!" ”

"No!" Han Long saluted again.

"Okay, let's talk, why did you come to a certain house just now?" After Cao Chang looked at Han Long and nodded repeatedly, he got to the point, "Don't say it's coming to see, and don't say that you came on the orders of a certain big brother, don't tell these two lies!" ”

Han Long also chuckled, and directly told Cao Zhang what he knew now, including Cao Ren being named the general of the chariot and cavalry by Cao Pi, the king of Wei, receiving the title of Marquis Chen, and supervising the military affairs of Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Yizhou, etc., as well as Cao Ren set fire to Fancheng and Xiangyang, and wanted to retreat to Wancheng and re-defend.

Cao Zhang listened to Han Long's words, the more he listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and finally scolded directly, "Confused, confused!" ”

"Why is the eldest brother so confused, why is Uncle Cao Ren so confused!" Cao Zhang took a sip directly, very hateful, "In order to reassure the Cao family and the Xiahou family, the eldest brother wantonly divided the many generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, this is no problem, why do you want Uncle Cao Ren to have such power?"

Uncle Cao Ren is too, others can't understand the thoughts of the eldest brother, he has been a general of Zhengnan for so many years, can't he see it himself? Relying on the old and selling the old here, do you really think that no one in the court can restrain him Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao? ”

Cao Zhang, like Xiahoudun, did not mean anything polite to Cao Ren.

But it's no wonder that Cao Zhang is a nephew brought out by Xiahoudun, and his temperament is quite similar to Xiahoudun!

In addition, Cao Zhang himself is the first person among the second-generation generals of the Cao family, although his qualifications are not as good as Cao Ren, but his ability is not worse than Cao Ren!

Speaking of the grace of the title, Chen Hou is indeed heavier than Cao Zhang's Marquis of Yanling, but Cao Zhang is a real Marquis of Wanhu!

This is unmatched by the entire Han!

"Shizi!" Han Long looked at Cao Zhang with a wry smile, "Let's not talk about this, things are not so simple now!" ”

"Isn't it that simple?" Cao Zhang was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that there are any accidents?" ”

"Well, it's my fault for waiting!" Han Long smiled bitterly, his expression was quite helpless!

"I was originally ordered by the king of Wei to go to Shangyong to deal with the affairs of Shangyong, but now Shangyong has almost succeeded, but here it is..."

"Xiahou Shang was seized by Cao Ren?" Cao Zhang is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield, and he found the key point in one sentence, "Xiahou Shang's kid looks brave and magnificent, but in fact he is weak, although he is very heroic when he is about to fight, but he becomes a soft-footed shrimp when he gets off the battlefield, and he really doesn't dare to compete with Uncle Cao Ren with one Boren!" ”

Han Long can no longer be said to admire Cao Zhang at this time, that is, he admires the five bodies to the ground.

"In that case, please come with me, a certain family came here to let the prince stop General Cao Ren!"

Cao Zhang shook his head after hearing this, "Now that Uncle Cao Ren has burned down the two cities of Xiangyang and Fancheng, do you know what the most important thing to do now?" ”

"Snatch back the two cities!" Although Han Long was unwilling, he had to do it, "Since General Cao Ren has done this, he must have his own ideas and methods, and the most important thing now is to take the city back and defend it again!" ”

Cao Zhang nodded, "You kid, you really didn't learn from your teacher in vain!" ”

"That son..."Han Long still wants to invite Cao Zhang to go to the Xiahou Shang camp as soon as possible, with Cao Chang in charge, anyone who wants to do anything out of the ordinary must consider it!

However, Cao Zhang still shook his head, "Don't worry, if you leave like this, even if we do the right thing this time, we will fall into the hands of others, so you can stay here!" ”

Han Long looked at Cao Zhang, who was so leisurely, and wanted to persuade him again, but all his words were interrupted by Cao Zhang.

"Don't underestimate those people, they're no worse than you!

Regardless of whether Uncle Cao Ren cut first and then played, he must ask for the consent of his eldest brother for such a big matter, and eldest brother will not let him mess around like this! ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhang put the coffin on the cart he was traveling with again, and then climbed into the cart himself, and lay on the coffin and fell asleep!

Han Long looked at Cao Zhang, who was so calm and relaxed, and then thought about the legend that Cao Zhang had created over the years, and then relaxed his mentality.

"Since the prince thinks there is no problem, then we naturally have no problem!" After Han Long chuckled, he followed Cao Zhang, found a corner in the cart and fell asleep directly.

The two of them soon entered the dream realm, and despite the snoring one after another, they had no intention of standing up!

At this time, the fires in Xiangyang and Fancheng alarmed not only the Cao family's people.

In a large camp somewhere in Jiangdong, Sun Quan looked at the guy in front of him with a worried face.

"General Chen, you have thought about it, you will really be in a dilemma of life and death this time, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will be the end of being shattered!"

Sun Quan's words were very heavy and very polite, but the general in front of him did not have any fear, but directly bowed his hand to Sun Quan, "If you can't occupy Xiangyang and return triumphantly, please behead a certain family!" ”

Hearing that this general had already said this step, Sun Quan had no reason to object, "That lonely is here, just waiting for the good news of General Chen Shao, once you occupy Xiangyang, the general remembers, you must be cautious in defense, waiting for the support of our army!" ”

Chen Shao looked obedient, and after the three salutes, he finally took his people and horses towards Xiangyang in a hurry.

"Huh~" Watching Chen Shao leave, Sun Quan let out a long breath, and then waved his hand to let many generals in the tent leave, at this time, looking at the screen behind him, he said faintly to the back, "Come out, they are all gone!" ”

As soon as Sun Quan's voice fell, a middle-aged man with a heroic spirit walked out of the screen behind, although he was only forty years old, he already had a little gray hair in his hair, and his posture, which should have been upright, was slightly hunched at this time.

"Bo Yan, do you say that Chen Shao can win this time?" Sun Quan looked at the middle-aged man who came out and said leisurely, as if it was not his own big war that he had just gone out, and what was about to start was not a key big war.

Lu Xun coughed lightly twice, it seemed that his health was not very good, and when he heard his father-in-law's question, he replied unhurriedly, "It's okay, although Chen Shao is incompetent, but the Jiangdong family is almost out of the nest, Chen Shao's generals and colonels are no less than 100 people, and there are no less than tens of thousands of corporals under his command, although it is dangerous to defend Xiangyang, as long as we wait for the army to follow up, we will have no worries!" ”

After hearing this, Sun Quan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly chuckled, "It's right to think about it, with the support of hundreds of families in Jiangdong, Chen Shao is also a famous general in my Jiangdong, so I am very sure that I will come!" ”

After finishing speaking, Sun Quan looked at Lu Xun, who had been coughing lightly, and couldn't help chuckling, "Bo Yan, your body is not good, could it be that my grandson's daughter is too strong and makes your body weak?" ”

Listening to this scoundrel's general words, Lu Xun was also quite embarrassed, and arched his hand towards Sun Quan with a wry smile, and then didn't say much nonsense, Sun Quan also chuckled when he saw him like this, and waved his hand at him, "Go down, don't be too tired!" ”

"No!" After Lu Xun promised, "Thank you for your care!" ”

After Lu Xun withdrew, after a while, Sun Quan sighed leisurely, "Lone really wants to help you, Lone really wants to support you, why are you always like this, so that Lone has no way to start, and the time is also fate?" ”

And Lu Xun, who walked out of Sun Quan's big tent, did not return to his big tent to rest as Sun Quan thought, but went directly to the other direction, without even shouting, and went directly into a small tent.

"How is it, is the lord still satisfied?" The small tent was tightly sealed, and although it could not be called bleak, it could not be seen inside.

Lu Xun didn't go inside much, and after coughing lightly twice, he said to the person inside, "I have already told the lord that the Jiangdong family has done it this time, and it is time to teach them a lesson!" ”

The person inside also said softly, "This time they are indeed excessive, they can do things, and they can prove themselves if they want to, but they can't tell their identities, they are just a group of heads of families, for this matter, they don't care about their faces, they want to control the overall situation, it's too much!" ”

"But after this incident, I'm afraid that the Jiangdong family will never rise again!" Lu Xun was not as leisurely as that person, but sighed softly, "Once the Jiangdong family disappears, I'm afraid Jiangdong will be a dominant family!" ”

There is no problem that Lu Xun is worried about, it has always been the competition between the Jiangdong family and the Sun family before, and the continuous development of the Sun family over the years is no longer comparable to the era of Sun Ce.

Sun Quan did not have the kind of force of his eldest brother Sun Ce at that time, and he had the ability to suppress a Jiangdong by himself, but Sun Quan could endure it, for so many years, the men of the Sun family continued to grow up, the women continued to marry, and the power of the Sun family continued to increase.

Now the family in Jiangdong can already be called the first force in Jiangdong, but under the control of Sun Quan, the Sun family was able to slowly fight against them, among which the Sun family had many military commanders, and slowly took back the military power from the family again.

And at this time, it is not impossible for the Jiangdong family to choose to tear up their faces with the Sun family.

The Jiangdong family has indeed not had many talents over the years, which has led to many outsiders slowly occupying high positions in Jiangdong, first Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and the two talents of the Zhang family, and then Zhuge Jin, Lu Meng and Xu Sheng.

Although the quality is relatively poor, but in terms of quantity, the latter is a complete victory, Sun Quan has the ability to arrange those civil and military generals who have no background in Jiangdong and can only choose to defect to him, one by one to the appropriate positions, and then let them take back the power little by little.

That's why Lu Xun said that if the family fails this time, I'm afraid Jiangdong will be a dominant family, so for a force, he may not really be a good thing.

Anything, anyone, as soon as he loses his restraints, I am afraid that he will become more and more unscrupulous and more and more terrifying to him.

However, Lu Xun's worries did not resonate, "The lord is very talented, you can just talk about this kind of thing here, if you talk more nonsense outside, be careful that you will lose your head one day for some reason!" ”

"Someone knows!" Lu Xun said angrily, "A certain family is not a fool, what can be said outside, what can not be said outside, is it possible that a certain family still doesn't know?" ”

Lu Xun's face was full of bad luck, but he was still reminding the person, "You should also pay attention to yourself, although I know you want to say that the decline of one force will definitely represent the rise of another force, and this kind of family must be indispensable, now that these families are over, it won't be long before the Zhuge family, the Lu family, the Lu family, etc., will become a new family, a new Jiangdong family."

However, a certain family also hopes that you will not forget, they all rely on the lord to survive, if it really comes to that day, who can curb the lord, although a certain family also hates Sun Bofu's reckless man, but I have to admit that the lord does not have the tenacity of General Sun Bofu at the beginning.

If Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin are still alive, they can guarantee that their hearts will not be affected by others, but the lord is not Sun Bofu, and he does not have his own Zhou Gongjin, if it really comes to that day, who can advise him? ”

Lu Xun's words were not unreasonable, and the man also knew that what Lu Xun said was the truth, but he still insisted, "I, Jiangdong, am full of talents, and those who speak out and dare to admonish are even more incomprehensible, so what can't I do!" ”

"Huh... Pan Rui is still able to speak out, but Yu Tuo is a strange person in Jiangdong, but he has abandoned it again and again, and the lord is a resolute person! ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Xun didn't continue to argue with him, and walked out directly, this time he really went back to his big tent, he didn't have anything to say, or he had already said what he should say, Lu Xun was talented, and he wasn't afraid that his talent would not be displayed, but he didn't want the good foundation created by that person at the beginning, and slowly slipped into the abyss.

Chen Shao led the army to Xiangyang, he is a general from the Jiangdong family, his ability may be very strong, or average, in short, his ability is not bad, and the most important thing in addition to his ability is to be obedient!

It is an army of tens of thousands of people behind him, these people are the confidence he used to occupy Xiangyang, Xiangyang and Fancheng have now been burned by Cao Ren, and it is almost effortless to attack, but how to hold it is the problem.

Cao Ren's calculation is Yangmou, to give up the land of Xiangfan, which can be called a free gift to Jiangdong, and as long as Xiangyang and Fancheng are conquered, they can directly threaten Nanyang County, and even Nanxiang County behind.

In this way, as long as Jiangdong works hard and survives Jiangxia's Wenpin, the rest is that after conquering Nanyang County, almost the entire Jingzhou will be taken by Jiangdong in his own hands.

Once there is Jingzhou, coupled with Jiaozhou, which is about to be completely controlled by the step master, and most of Yangzhou that he has captured, Jiangdong will be able to attack and defend the position, not only can he attack and retreat, but he can even try to talk to Xichuan again, re-alliance with them again, let them assist him, and counterattack the Central Plains.

So for this matter, Jiangdong still likes it very much, although it is likely to be a trap, but this bait is really too rich, even if the people of Jiangdong know that it is a trap, they are very willing to step into it.

After all, the importance of Jingzhou to Jiangdong is self-evident, if those families in Jiangdong once get the two important places of Xiangfan, then the rest is to control the entire Jingzhou step by step, Jiangdong is happy, and Jiangdong's family is even happier.

Because they can pull back their decline in an instant! However, it is unknown what Sun Quan thinks in his heart.

But these are not important, because Sun Quan has agreed, the more than 100 generals behind Chen Shao, as well as the tens of thousands of male soldiers, are the strength of the Jiangdong family, and for this battle of Xiangfan, those families in Jiangdong can be said to have spared all their strength.

The army gradually moved towards Xiangyang, and the first to appear in the land of Xiangfan must be Xiangyang, which is also the first city in Jingzhou and the first goal of their trip.

"When you get to Xiangyang, put out the fire as soon as possible!" Chen Shao looked at the fire that was still burning in the distance, and couldn't help sighing, and he kept sighing in his heart, "Cao Ren, this guy is really decisive, this fire is to occupy Xiangyang, I'm afraid if you want to turn over, it will take a long, long time to completely turn it into an important town in Jiangdong." ”

This side of the army was heading towards Xiangyang, and in the other direction, Cao Zhang and Han Long, who were sleeping soundly, suddenly turned over and sat up directly, and their hands involuntarily touched the weapons beside them.

"Looks like someone is coming!" Han Long looked at the figure from far and near, and listened to the roaring sound of horses' hooves, "There are a lot of people!" ”

Cao Zhang also nodded lightly, picked up the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and then slowly stood up, "No matter who they are, if there is really an accident, protect my father's coffin as soon as possible!" ”

"I said Shizi, although a certain family doesn't know who they are, but a certain family thinks that they shouldn't want to rob an empty coffin!" Han Long sneered, then shook his head, "A certain family remembers that the last stop you went to was Chen Liu, there was a person there.... That's why someone dared to try to guess, you should have time now! ”

Han Long didn't finish his words, but Han Long's meaning was very clear, and after understanding, after Cao Zhang glared at him, he said coldly, "You honestly forgot what you just said, your father's affairs are not something you can guess, otherwise it will not be good for you!" ”

"Don't worry, a certain family is not stupid, isn't there no way, I'm afraid that the prince will use this reason to shirk!" Han Long chuckled, then pulled out the short knife at his waist and looked at the group of people who had already rushed over.

"Is it Cao Zhang's son in front? But Yan Linghou in front? Before the person arrived, the voice had already rushed over, "A certain family is from Nanyang, and he came here on the order of General Xiahoudun!" ”

With this roar, the people behind also shouted. "A certain family is from Yecheng, and he came on the order of the concubine!"

"A certain family is from Luoyang, and he came on the order of King Wei!"

One knight after another rushed over, then restrained their horses in front of Cao Zhang, and bowed down in front of him one by one.

Looking at this group of people, Cao Zhang did not put down the blade in his hand, but looked at Han Long on the side, and said softly, "How about it, is a certain family right, don't underestimate those people, their group of guys, treacherous guys, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps!" ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhang himself laughed, jumped off the coffin at once, and walked towards the group of people.

"Say, such a group of people are coming over in a hurry, what's the matter?" Cao Zhang sneered, "Don't say it's to come to see a certain family!" ”

"Feng Xiahou Dun's order, come and ask Yan Linghou to go to the southern general Xiahou Shang to preside over the overall situation!"

"The order of the concubine, come and invite the prince of Cao Zhang to go to Shangyong, don't have a conflict with General Cao Ren!"

As for the last person, he knelt directly in front of Cao Zhang, "A certain family came to invite the general to participate in the war on the order of the King of Wei, and the King of Wei said, what should be done, you all know, after the end of the war, please go to Luoyang as soon as possible, and the King of Wei is waiting for you there." ”

At this point, all that everyone wanted to say was finished, and Cao Zhang also fell into silence and didn't speak much for a long time.

"What does Big Brother want?" Cao Zhang first walked up to the envoy of the King of Wei and said with a chuckle, "He just said this, what kind of thing is in charge of a certain family, and he is a bit too much to be the shopkeeper." ”

"Back to Yanlinghou, what King Wei means is that what he wants is no longer in Jingzhou, and in a short time, the Cao family and Jiangdong should be considered good friends!"

Cao Zhang nodded, this makes it clear, for Jiangdong, you can't let them have thoughts that they shouldn't have, but in the same way, you can't make them too ugly, now Sun Quan is the time to make face, don't go too far.

Then Cao Chang walked up to another person, who was sent by his mother, the concubine of Great Wei.

"Tell me, what does Mother mean?"

"Back to the Hou Ye, the concubine said that the Cao family's Xiahou family is a family, and you must not fight the wall!"

Cao Zhang rubbed his eyebrows, he knew that this was to estimate Cao Ren's face, and he also had to take care of Xiahou Shang's face, so he couldn't help sighing, "A certain family knows!" ”

In the end, he walked up to the Nanyang soldier and asked condescendingly, "Teacher, he should have something to bring!" ”

The soldier had only heard of Cao Zhang's name, and had never seen Cao Zhang, but now that Cao Zhang was looking at himself condescendingly, he felt that strong sense of oppression.

"Hui Shizi.. No, back to the Hou Ye, General Xiahoudun said, said.... These old guys can't stand King Wei, I hope you can give him a chance to make amends!" ”

When he heard this, Cao Zhang closed his eyes silently, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, "It's the fault of a certain family, if it weren't for me and my eldest brother not being able to think it through, where would we need the teacher to work so hard for me at such an age, hey!" ”

Finally, Cao Zhang waved his hand at them, "Wait a minute, stand down, tell them that a certain family already knows about these things, tell them, and they don't have to worry about the rest of the things!" ”

"No!" Seeing that Cao Zhang had already agreed, the three of them left after directly agreeing to the promise, coming in a hurry and walking more neatly.

After they all left, Cao Zhang stretched out his hand and patted the coffin behind him, "Father, there were still a few places to go, but they could only solve it by themselves, your seventy-two graves, your son can't finish them one by one, and there are too many things to do." ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhang actually lifted the coffin directly, and then threw it towards the boiling Yangtze River, and in this way, threw the coffin of his father, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, the king of Wei of the Han Dynasty, and the lord of the Cao family, into the river.

"Shizi..."Han Long waited until Cao Zhang had done everything, then he gently walked in front of him and called him, "Shouldn't we go too!" ”

Cao Zhang looked at the boiling Yangtze River, it was here that his father lost the best opportunity, he didn't know how much perseverance his father used to start from scratch, but after the Yangtze River collapsed and sank into the sand, his father no longer thought about going south.

General Xiahoudun once said that if he wants to dominate the world, the only way to do so is to settle on Xichuan first, and then go down the river to the east of the river, so that he can have a chance to win the whole world.

This is also the policy set by the Cao family in the end, but they lost their best opportunity in the first battle of Chibi, and they lost the last chance in the first battle of Hanzhong.

Now the Cao family seems to be huge, but in fact it is full of loopholes, Qingxu Erzhou, Zang Ba has become a big tail, Zang Ba is like a country within a country, all the way to the demeanor of the princes, although there is no clear knife and gun to tell the Cao family and the Han that he wants to stand on his own, but he does not have the idea of wanting to hand over the rights.

Youzhou has just been pacified, but the matter of Liaodong is already imminent, and other people don't talk about it for the time being, the Gongsun family in Liaodong looks like the king of Liaodong, so that the Cao family doesn't know how to deal with it.

Although the land of Yongliang has just been pacified, it is still not safe, forcing Cao Zhen to take steps forward, and the countries of the Western Regions seem to be calm, but they are really sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and refuse to come to Luoyang to congratulate.

The Qiangqi and Hu people are eyeing each other, the Xianbei tribe is ready to go south at any time, and the Wuhuan ride is resurrected, and the Huns, who have been completely lonely, have begun to assemble.

Luoyang's Cao Pi can't take care of the affairs of Guanzhong just after talking about it every day, not to mention the royal family of Xu Du who is ready to fight hard at any time, if now, the Cao family and the Xiahou family have also started to fight separately, I am afraid that Cao Pi has the heart to wipe his neck.

Xiahoudun was really angry with Cao Ren this time, he stood in a different position, he was not only the general of Cao Wei, not only the most trusted general and commander of the first king Cao Cao, but also the ruler of the Cao family and the Xiahou family.

For so many years, it was Xiahou Tang who supported the Xiahou family and the Cao family, making them interdependent, integrating with each other, and slowly becoming more intimate.

Whether it is Xiahou Yuan or Xiahou Lian of his Xiahou family, or Cao Chun and Cao Ren brothers of the Cao family, or Cao Hong, who is the most unpopular, in short, all kinds of things of the Xiahou family and the Cao family are handled by Xiahou Xuan, carefully let them get along with each other, carefully let them not arouse the disgust of foreign generals, and so on.

But Xiahoudun didn't expect that not long after Cao Cao died, the Cao family began to mess around, and this time the nonsense was not Cao Hong, who had been controlled a long time ago, and had the worst popularity and the most impulsive behavior.

However, it was Cao Ren Cao Zixiao, who was known for his calmness and courage in the Cao family, and when the people below named Cao Ren as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the title was Chen Hou, who was in charge of the military of Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Yizhou, Xiahoudun was actually very satisfied.

After all, his body is dying, and he needs someone from the Cao family and the Xiahou family to come out, take over his position, and continue to deal with the following things.

His younger brother Xiahou Yuan had already died, and even if he hadn't died, his personality was too irritable and not suitable, and this matter had already been determined when the first king was there.

As for the other brother Xiahou Lian, he is not irritable, and he can even be said to be very calm, but he is too calm, and Xiahou Lian often automatically ignores his existence.

After removing the people of the Xiahou family, then the rest are the people of the Cao family.

There are still many people in the Cao family, after all, Cao Chun is still a minority who died too early, Cao Hong is now fat and strong, Cao Ren also looks like he can still charge into battle, although the remaining people have enough qualifications and qualifications, but their abilities are still a little worse after all.

Cao Hong was heroic, but he was too stingy, not only greedy for money but also unable to distinguish the severity, and the king of Wei was offended unclearly, if Cao Hong was allowed to inherit his position, Xiahoudun felt that unless he and Cao Pi were both blind.

So in this case, Cao Ren, who was calm and resolute and had fought with Guan Yu for many years, became their only choice, and when Cao Ren was promoted, he also expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

But Xiahoudun really never dreamed that before he finished his words of thanks, Cao Ren brought him a catastrophe.

The people of Xiangfan entered Jingzhou and Wanluo, the army withdrew from Xiangfan, and then guarded Wancheng, this kind of nonsense, Xiahou took a look, and almost thought that this was the attention given by his incompetent son.

Xiangfan Erdi, who gave up the momentum of the horns, directly withdrew the army to Wancheng, which has the deepest relationship with him and the deepest hatred, he is really not afraid.

When Xiahoudun knew about this, he almost died at the head of the bed, he didn't even care about taking medicine, he directly put on a pair of shoes and socks, and without saying a word, he galloped all the way to Wancheng, and now Cao Pi's impression of the Cao family and the Xiahou family must be bad, but now as long as he can make amends, it may not be too late.

At the very least, he can't let Nanyang mess up anymore, at least he can't let Tian Yu and the others think of a way to do the stupid things of their Cao family and Xiahou family.

Xiahoudun was already a little delirious now, on the way back to Yecheng, he couldn't see or hear clearly, he knew that this was his end of time.

He had just gotten the news that Chen Shao of Jiangdong rushed directly to Xiangyang with tens of thousands of troops, but he was frustrated in Fancheng, because Fancheng was destroyed by Cao Ren a little too seriously, maybe Cao Ren also knew that if these two fortified cities fell into the hands of Jiangdong people in such a plain way, I am afraid it would also be very troublesome.

So they were simply stopped, before Cao Ren left, not only did Fancheng set a fire, but also demolished one of the walls of Fancheng, plus Guan Yu tossed the other wall, if the entire Fancheng wanted to defend, it would be too troublesome, and the current Jiangdong family could not afford it.

Therefore, Chen Shao had no choice but to gather in Xiangyang first and control the entire Xiangyang in his hands.

When they have another chance, they are holding Fan Cheng in their hands, so they are not unacceptable.

And Cao Ren can't send troops so quickly, according to Xiahoudun's understanding of Cao Ren, I'm afraid he will still wait, and when the time is almost up, when the people in Jiangdong are relieved, he will do it to those people, Xiangyang, there must be Cao Ren's backhand.

But after the first battle of Xiangyang, I am afraid that the land of Xiangfan will not have a very good effect.

Xiahou Shang, this child is the nephew of the Xiahou family, his ability Xiahou is very clear, if it is said that he can still do it, as for leading the army, if the opponent is the kid of the Zhu family, it is not difficult for Xiahou Shang to deal with, but Jiangdong has also been full of talents recently, if it is too crazy, it is not very good.

The most special thing is that now Cao Ren has ruined Xiangyang and Fancheng like this, and he is really sorry for him.

However, Xiahoudun heard from the person who replied that they had already found Yanling Hou Cao Zhang, and with this nephew to help him deal with the previous matter, Xiahoudun could rest assured.

Just like Cao Zhang knows Xiahoudun very well, Xiahoudun also knows his apprentice very well, as the first person among the second-generation generals of the Cao family, in fact, Cao Zhang is the most ideal heir in Xiahoudun's heart, but these old guys have not left yet, so he can't give his position as a big housekeeper to Cao Zhang, of course, he can give it, and it is estimated that Cao Zhang will not want it.

Cao Zhang, like him, is talented, capable, and arrogant, with Cao Zhang's character, he will definitely not let Cao Ren come to Hu, although Cao Ren's qualifications are very good, but when it comes to the prestige of the Cao family, Cao Zhang's prestige is really not necessarily worse than Cao Ren.

Therefore, with the existence of Cao Zhang, Cao Ren will definitely not continue to be presumptuous.

Thinking of this, Xiahoudun can finally put his mind at ease, with these arrangements, he finally doesn't have to worry about Jingzhou's affairs anymore, he has now figured it out, whether he can go to Yecheng alive or not is between the two, and the rest of the matter will be handled by the juniors.

He also understood that if the juniors were so sheltered under his wing, no matter how big they were, they would not be able to grow, and in the same way, Xiahou Dun had already warned Cao Ren, he was the great steward of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, but he was not a guy who could rely on the old and sell the old, he was just a courtier of King Wei, he needed to understand this.

After thinking so much, Xiahoudun felt a wave of sleepiness hit him again, and then weakly opened the curtain of the carriage, looking at the scene of everything reviving outside, Xiahoudun took a deep breath.

"What month is it now, I am in a coma at every turn during this period of time, I have forgotten the time, this spring has arrived?" Xiahoudun looked at the scene outside and couldn't help but ask with some surprise.

The guards who were driving the carriage quickly replied when they heard Xiahoudun speak.

"General, it's the end of March now, and tomorrow will be the first day of April!"

After hearing this, Xiahoudun looked a little dazed, "It's April, in a blink of an eye, the lord has been gone for more than two months, hey!" ”

"General, we are almost in Yecheng, the famous doctors in Yecheng are ready, you will definitely live a long life, don't worry!" The general tried his best to make himself laugh, he was the closest person to Xiahoudun, and he was extremely clear about Xiahoudun's current physical condition.

He knew that Xiahoudun might not live long.

Xiahoudun chuckled, "People, when you get old, you should die, you always rely on it, and you will take away the luck of your juniors!" ”

Xiahoudun is really open to this kind of thing, he doesn't care if he will die, what he wants to do, what he wants to do, he has already done it, the rest is the destiny of heaven, if the destiny is difficult to violate, he will not forcibly save it.

In this life, Xiahoudun is worthy of everyone, worthy of his parents, wife and children, worthy of the lord Cao Mengde, and worthy of the people of the world, If he has to say that he is sorry, he is a little sorry for himself.

Xiahoudun has worked hard all his life, he has not been able to rest well, he has not been able to enjoy his life, he has not been able to leave a penny of food for his family, and he has not even been able to leave a whole corpse for himself, so the only person who Xiahoudun is sorry for should be Xiahoudun himself.

"Lord, Xiahou Yuanrang is a little tired, you go slowly, soon, Yuanrang will go." Xiahoudun muttered to himself and became unconscious again.

By the time I entered Yecheng, it was actually the beginning of April, and now Yecheng was already in full bloom, and the carriage did not stop and jump along the way, and rushed directly into the brand-new Yecheng General's Mansion.

To be honest, Xiahoudun, the general personally rewarded by King Wei, but Xiahoudun had not been able to move in, he first went to Luoyang to personally guard the city and stabilize the situation for Cao Pi.

By the time he could finally get rid of it, Xiahoudun was already terminally ill, and he had just returned to Yecheng and was not sent to the General's Mansion, but was first sent to the medical hall, if it wasn't sent in time, Xiahoudun would have disappeared directly!

However, after his condition stabilized a little and he came to his senses, the doctor had not had time to finish his sentence, "Remember to rest well, and then don't go on a long journey..."

Xiahoudun didn't finish his words, he heard the news about Cao Ren from the people below, and then ..... Xiahoudun ran to Nanyang.

Therefore, for so long, Xiahoudun has not been able to take a good look at his Great General's Mansion, and he has a good time to recuperate in his Great General's Mansion, and now he finally has a chance, and he can return to his Great General's Mansion.

Merely....

"Father, it's home, let's get off!" Xiahoudun's eldest son, Xiahou Chong, had already greeted him at this time and invited his father to get out of the car.

But he shouted for a long time, and he didn't see Xiahoudun get out of the car, nor did he hear Xiahoudun reply, and Xiahouchong, who had to be embarrassed, finally chose to go up and take a look to see how he was.

But after Xiahou Chong got into the carriage, he saw a very embarrassing thing, Xiahou Chong seemed to fall into a coma again, seeing this scene, Xiahou Chong sighed helplessly, to be honest, he was a little sad.

His father used to be such a mighty and majestic man, at the age of fourteen he dared to kill, rampant in the countryside to make his fellow villagers fearful, fought for many years, could lead the troops on the horse, and could herdsmen on the horse, which can be called a model of a famous general and a good minister.

So at this time, when Xiahou Chong saw his father's appearance, his heart was full of sadness.

"That's it, that's it!" Xiahou sighed softly in his heart, and then half-knelt in front of Xiahoudun, stretched out his hand and shook him gently.

"Father, wake up Father, let's go home!" Xiahou Chong tried his best to make himself laugh, he remembered that the doctor said that he should make him more stable and make him happier, this may be his father's last days.

But Xiahou Chong shook for a long time, and Xiahou Chong didn't have any reaction, this appearance made Xiahou Chong really a little flustered, especially when he saw that no matter how he called Xiahou Chong, he didn't have any reaction, he was really stunned.

Xiahou Chong was now covered with cold sweat, his face was extremely pale, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, and then put his fingers under Xiahoudun's nose.

Immediately after, Xiahou Chong knelt in front of Xiahoudun and collapsed directly on the carriage, his lips trembling, and then he suddenly yelled outside, "Doctor, doctor, let the doctor come in, hurry up!" ”

Xiahou Chong's roar startled a group of people outside, although Xiahou Chong's sons did not have their father's ability, but each of them was a real family, and this kind of calm wind still existed, especially Xiahou Chong, the eldest son of the Xiahou family.

But now Xiahou Chong doesn't have any calmness, and some are only extremely flustered, which makes many people feel that the situation is wrong.

The two doctors who had been prepared for a long time rushed in without saying a word, and then carried Xiahoudun out with Xiahou Chong, and used acupuncture to give first aid to Xiahoudun, but unfortunately, they worked hard for a long time, and then they still reluctantly announced, "General Xiahou is dead!" ”

This sentence wiped out the smiles on the faces of everyone in the Xiahou family, and what followed was a pain that was difficult to hide.

With a "boom", outside the gate of Xiahou's house, countless cries moved the heavens and the earth, making the sky seem to become gloomy.

At the same time, at the city gate, a group of fast horses galloped away, Xiahoudun is Cao Wei's important minister, is Cao Wei's optimus jade pillar, Xiahoudun's death, for the Cao family, for Wei, that is a fatal thing.

Xiahoudun was sent back to his Great General's Mansion, sent back to his Great General's Mansion that he had never entered, did not or slept in all night, and then the entire Yecheng began to cover the whole city, and the news of the death of Cao Wei's general Xiahoudun also began to spread quickly.

Cheng Mansion, the Cheng Mansion of Yecheng, was one of the most relied on advisors of the former king Cao Cao, but now it is the residence of Cheng Yu, a dying old man who is recuperating at home and describing the withered twilight old man.

"You just said that Xiahou Yuanrang died?" Cheng Yu opened his dizzy old eyes, and stared at his son Cheng Wu in front of him with bright eyes, "Are you sure?" You can't talk nonsense! ”

"Father, no matter how stupid his son is, he can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, that's my Cao clan's general, the Cao clan's Optimus Jade Pillar Xiahou Yuanrang!" Cheng Wu also looked pity, that general was a person who was envied and admired by all the sons and heirs of the Cao family's ministers.

The Cao family pillars recognized by the whole world, and the first person of the Cao family recognized by the whole world were Xun Yu Xun Wenruo and Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao did not dare to say that their status in Cao Cao's heart was higher than that of Xiahou Dun, but he was such a person, and he died so silently at the door of his own house.

In the end, he couldn't enter his Great General's Mansion one step.

"Xiahou Yuanrang, you just went!" Cheng Yu was also extremely uncomfortable after he was confirmed, he and Xiahou Yuanrang were people of the same era, and the relationship between him and Xiahou Yuanrang was also very good.

watched the people around him, his friends, his lord, and even his enemies, all leave one by one, one by one, and he was the only bad old man, a bad old man with a short temper and a bad old man who was about to roar at every turn, and lived to be eighty years old.

Cheng Yu looked at his skinny corpse, he couldn't find the shadow of himself when he drew his sword and looked around, standing proudly in the army, and looking at the world, and now Cheng Yu made him feel strange and didn't like it.

"Maybe one day, maybe one day, I, Cheng Zhongde, will go to you!" Cheng Yu chuckled, and finally sighed, stood up tremblingly, walked out of the room tremblingly, walked into the courtyard, walked into the courtyard, sighed with three points of disappointment, three points of loneliness, and four parts of loneliness, slowly closed his eyes, and felt the sun shining on his face.

"Lord, Yuan Rang, you wait, when the old man finishes the last scene, the old man will go to you."

There are not a few people who think the same way as Cheng Yu, and countless Great Wei courtiers couldn't believe it when they heard about Xiahou Yuanrang.

There are also some, at a loss.

And after I don't know how long it has been, and I don't know how many people have gone to Xiahou's house to pay respects, Cao Pi, who was far away in Luoyang, also saw the knight who rushed over like crazy.

"What's going on!" Cao Pi, who was dealing with government affairs, looked at the knights who were galloping all the way outside on a crazy horse, Cao Pi asked Xu Chu with an impatient face, "Zhong Kang, go and see, how can anyone in this palace dare to be presumptuous now!" ”

Xu Chu was also full of anger by this scene, and saluted directly to Cao Pi, and then rushed out with an angry face, wanting to see who dared to be so rude.

However, when Xu Chu went out, he was fast, and his face was angry, and when he came back, he was even faster, but his face was full of panic.

"King, something is wrong!" Xu Chu walked directly to Cao Pi's ear, and then said softly, "Just now it was a person from Yecheng, early yesterday morning, the general Xiahoudun turned back to Yecheng and died of illness in front of the mansion gate!" ”

"Bang dang!" Cao Pi, who had just picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea to refresh himself, was stunned by Xu Chu's words, and the tea bowl in his hand fell directly to the ground with a crisp sound, and the whole person was at a loss as if he was stunned.

"King..."Xu Chu was also taken aback by Cao Pi when he saw this, for fear that Cao Pi would do something, although when he heard the news just now, he almost cried out in surprise.

The longer he has been in the Cao family, the higher his status in the Cao family, the more he can know how important Xiahoudun's status in the Cao family is.

Now that Xiahoudun is dying in Yecheng, it can be said that at this time, half of Cao's sky has collapsed!

"Why?" Cao Pi was trembling from his hands to his arms, to his shoulders, and finally to his lips, "Didn't King Gu ask Yuan to let his uncle go to Yecheng to recuperate?" Didn't he say a few days ago that as long as he had a good life and recuperation, he could still live for a few more years? ”

Cao Pi now has a fierce look in his eyes, he feels that this is not an accident, this is an intention to do wrong.

Xu Chu's face was also ugly, but he still whispered to Cao Pi, "News from the school office, General Xiahoudun has just returned from Nanyang!" ”

"Nanyang, where is my uncle going, what are you doing? He...."As soon as Cao Pi was halfway through speaking, he understood, and asked hesitantly, "Is it because of the general of the chariot?" ”

From Cao Ren's uncle to the general of the chariot cavalry, this is enough to prove what kind of person Cao Ren has become in Cao Pi's heart.

Xu Chu nodded heavily, he also knew that Cao Ren was very unauthentic in doing this, and roasted Cao Pi on the fire!

Although Cao Ren once had a bad relationship with Xu Chu and even pulled out a knife against Xu Chu, Xu Chu still did not speak ill of Cao Ren in front of Cao Pi!

To tell the truth is Xu Chu's bottom line, but this bottom line still makes Cao Ren's behavior very excessive, especially in Cao Pi's heart, Cao Ren can be said to have offended Cao Pi a lot!

"Uncle Yuan Rang is really exhausted for my Cao family's world!" Cao Pi sighed faintly, and then asked Xu Chu to bring the messenger.

"Uncle Yuanrang has left something behind!" Cao Pi put down his red pen, his face full of sadness.

The messenger was Xiahoudun's personal general, and he was also the one who drove him before.

"Back to the King of Wei, General Xiahou died very suddenly, and he didn't leave a last word!

However, the general has been repeating two sentences along the way, I don't know if it is a last word..."

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, first feeling a little regretful, and then said, "Say, what did the general leave behind?" ”

"The general said that Cao Zixiao is old and old, and finally made a mistake to get out, but he has been guarding the south for many years, and he has no credit and hard work, I hope Cao Zixiao and the king can think about it!"

Cao Pi was silent after hearing this, he knew what Xiahoudun wanted to say, and he also knew what Xiahoudun wanted to think about.

In the end, Cao Pi sighed helplessly, "That's it, Uncle Cao Ren is loyal to the Cao family, and his nephew was a little apprehensive before!" ”

The general glanced at Cao Pi and saw that he was no longer emotional, so he continued.

"King, Xiahoudun still has a sentence that has been on his lips..."

"Tell me, what else did the general say!"

"The general said... Say... The first king can't be unprotected, he is going to protect the first king! ”

After finishing speaking, the pro-general lowered his head directly and stopped talking.

And Xu Chu and Cao Pi above were indeed in silence for a long time.

"The one who protects the first king should be the last general!" Xu Chu also sighed, and then hugged his fist to Cao Pi and said, "King, when the situation is stable, the last general will go to guard the spirit of the first king, and the first king can't be guarded by no one!" ”

Cao Pi looked at Xu Chu, and then looked at the silent general below, he knew that this was the last thing his general, his uncle Xiahou Yuanrang helped him!

"Carrying a horse!" Cao Pi yelled, "The lonely king is going to see his uncle on his last journey!" ”

"No!" Xu Chu didn't stop Cao Pi, he also felt that Cao Pi should go to Yecheng, because it was Xiahou Yuanrang!

The king of Wei is out of the palace, the king of Wei is out of the city, and the king of Wei is rushing to Yecheng with Xu Chu and a small number of other people.

This news made the magnates in Luoyang City a little confused, and they were all reasonable, and then the whole Luoyang, and even the whole world, were moved, Xiahou Dun had been conscientious during his lifetime, helping his lord in the rear of the Cao family to stabilize his power, sweep away the rebellion, and ensure that the rear was not lost.

No matter who goes out, no matter who goes out to fight, as long as the rear is Xiahoudun personally in charge, they will feel extremely relieved, but Xiahoudun has been fighting and killing all his life, cultivating and working, not to mention enjoyment, even cultivation has not been able to cultivate well.

Now that he is dead, whether it is Cao Pi or others, they all feel that it is not too much to give him a great honor, so Cao Pi went, the other children of the Cao family also went, and all the generals and important ministers who could be drawn out also went, even if they couldn't leave, they would also worship at home.

When Cao Pi came to Yecheng, it was already the evening a few days after Xiahoudun's death, and it could be seen from Cao Pi's dusty appearance that he rushed over all the way day and night.

"I'll wait to see the king, the king Wanjin...."Xiahou Nan, the son of Xiahou and the husband of Princess Qinghe, greeted him directly, but before he finished speaking, he found that Cao Pi had rushed past him.

"Where is the uncle, let the lonely king meet his uncle!" Cao Pi didn't have the slightest politeness, and ran directly to the mourning hall, and then saw the shabby and somewhat embarrassing mourning hall, Cao Pi's anger suddenly ignited in an instant.

The General's Mansion was ordered by Cao Pi to be made for Xiahoudun, in order to make Xiahoudun live comfortably, he specially ordered the craftsmen to work day and night, but now it is still not possible to complete the General's Mansion, it is said that it is because Xiahoudun has been called off again and again, because of the loss of labor and money.

But the front part has been built after all, especially this mourning hall, which is the main hall of the General's Mansion, which can be regarded as tall and wide, and the beams and pillars are carefully selected.

But looking inside, the furniture in the mourning hall is all old, as if it has been used for many years, and the offering table exudes a strong atmosphere of time.

As if to tell them that these things are old objects that have been around for countless years, although they are old objects, they do not have any sense of preciousness.

"These.... These are the furnishings in my uncle's house? Cao Pi looked at this very incompatible mourning hall, as if something was blocked in his heart.

Xiahoudun has been fighting for many years, and I am afraid he himself has lost count of how many credits he has made, just Cao Pi's father, Cao Cao, the first Wei king of the Han Dynasty, gave him a reward, that is, countless, and the money and grain can even buy half of Yecheng.

But looking at the current General's Mansion, what are these things, Cao Pi even thinks that the most valuable thing of all the things is probably the fine iron spear that was enshrined next to Xiahoudun's thin-skinned coffin!

"I didn't expect that the great general of the Lone King, Xiahou Yuanrang, whose prestige shocked the world, would be like this.... So? Cao Pi suddenly laughed, tears came out of his smiling eyes, "The rewards that my uncle received back then were all given to others, could it be that he didn't leave any of them?" ”

"The king..."Xiahou Nan also rushed over, just in time to hear Cao Pi's words, "Father said, our brothers have no ability, and if we keep too much money, we will hurt ourselves!" ”
