Volume 3 The Storm of the Two Capitals Chapter 33 The Source of Troubled Times

Cao Cao stared at Ma Yuanyi with a blank face, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world. Since the showdown with Nanying to him, he has been controlling his emotions very well and has not shown the slightest abnormality. However, as soon as Ma Yuanyi's short "Mao Yi" came out, it seemed to immediately destroy Cao Cao's psychological defense.

"It's good to teach Brother Meng De to know!" Ma Yuanyi said lightly: "There is a sample of things below, and that is to never forget it." Two years ago, I met you in the mountains outside of Luoyang. Although you and I have not shown our true colors, the voice of Brother Tai is deeply imprinted in my heart! ”

"More than half a year ago, I came to Luoyang again, and I wanted to capture Luoyang together!" He was speechless and said: "But unexpectedly, I saw Brother Meng De again in the distance outside Fengxu's mansion, and at that time, I felt that your voice was very similar to Mao Yi, but I didn't dare to make a judgment easily." But today......"

He smiled lightly: "You and I are close at hand, and I have heard my brother say so many things, if I can't recognize your true identity anymore, what face is there to talk about here?" ”

"You, you're not dead? You are Ma Yuanyi! Cao Cao said in a trembling voice like an electric shock, and a pair of eyes began to look left and right unconsciously, and looked straight towards the door.

"Does Meng De want to slip away?" Nan Ying's heart was settled, and he said proudly: "It's not that Ben will boast, now there are masters in this mansion, and there are seven or eight people who can take down Meng De alone!" So, please don't be impatient, and it's not too late to explain the words! ”

Nanying's words are not a bluff, in addition to the skills of the three people in the room are not under Cao Cao, there are other three masters in the house, Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Guan Hai, as well as Cao Xing, Li Jin two archers, and the rest of the generals are also good hands, Hugh said that a Cao Cao, that is, the son and grandson Binshuo and the mysterious archers are together, and they are also certain to die.

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, and he stayed for a long time before he sat down and said, "Since you have seen through it, if you want to kill or arrest, listen to it!" ”

He looked up at Nan Ying, then at Ma Yuanyi, and suddenly sighed and said, "We thought we had overestimated Nan Ying Yang, but we still underestimated you!" I didn't expect that even the dignified Jingyang Daqu Shuai of Taiping Road was invested in your account! If you know this, how dare you come to visit today! ”

"It's a self-defeating one!" He smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "But I declare in advance, if you want to find out the news of the sexagenary branch from my mouth, it is wishful thinking!" Because if this is the case, I am afraid that if there are more than 40 mouths in the door, there will be no chickens and dogs left overnight! ”

"Something is not going to happen! I hope Meng De can solve his doubts! Nanying was not only shocked by the terrifying discipline of the sexagenary branch, but also gave birth to an incomprehensible psychology towards Cao Cao. He wondered: "Ben will almost be able to conclude that the sexagenary branch is a secret group composed of most of the original opposition party and a small number of incumbent officials, and its purpose is nothing more than to overthrow the government or eradicate China, North Korea and foreign relatives!" And after Meng De is a eunuch, he can be said to be out of place, how can he form a party with them? ”

"you still have to make a statement!" Cao Cao suddenly became excited: "No matter what others do, Cao only thinks about overthrowing today's son, welcoming the new king, and restoring the former glory of my Han dynasty!" I never thought of being anti-Han! ”

He gasped and hissed: "What if I am a eunuch, Hugh said that it is not my own birth, that is, it is not my fault!" Why do you put the imprint of the traitorous eunuch on me for the rest of my life! The scholars and Qingliu avoided me, and even the Chinese and Korean dynasties were like leaving me, and never regarded me as their own! Can you understand the frustration of being forced to survive in the cracks when you have big ambitions? ”

Nan Ying and Gao Shun were dumbfounded when they heard this, and even Ma Yuanyi was silent.

After a while, Nan Ying said in a deep voice: "It turns out that you have such thoughts in your heart, so you have to devote yourself to the Heavenly Stem Branch, hoping to correct your name in the future!" Is that right? ”

"Of course!" Cao Cao's mouth showed a bitter smile that even Nan Ying was moved by: "If I want my Cao Cao's name to no longer be called a 'eunuch', I can only make up my mind to break with China and North Korea!" For this reason, I did not hesitate to beat and kill the uncle of the Chinese and North Korean generals Jian Shuo with a stick when he was the lieutenant in the north of Luoyang, and almost lost his life for it, but it still did not become a clear stream respected by the world! ”

"I'm finally aware of something!" He laughed at himself and said, "As long as I am here today, I will never come out!" So ......"

"So you don't hesitate to stoop down, even stabbing you!" Gao Shun couldn't help but speak: "It's really confused, do you know that once the East Window incident happens, your Cao family will be all powder?" Does Ling Zun know about this? ”

"He doesn't know! If he knew, he was afraid that he would die of anger! Cao Cao said miserably: "The matter has come to this, does he know what the difference is?" ”

"Since Meng De intends to set up a new monarch, why did he reject Wang Fen with another "Rejection of Fen"?" Nanying suddenly wondered: "If you set up the Marquis of Hefei, then isn't it just fulfilling your wish?" ”

"Several stabbing failures prove that when the luck of the son is still there today, the general trend of the world cannot be reversed, at least not for now!" Cao Cao said bluntly: "Wang Fen has always been ambitious, and he is eager to improve his status in the organization, so he acted so rashly, before the plan was launched, I had already foreseen failure, of course it was impossible to accompany him to the funeral!" ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that Wang Fen didn't act in accordance with the rules of the organization, and actually kept those letters!" He gritted his teeth and said: "It's really not enough to succeed, and more than enough to lose, otherwise why would I end up like this?" ”

"Then Ben will only ask Meng De about it now! Do you still want to fulfill your ambitions? Nan Ying's eyes were blazing and he looked directly at Cao Cao: "Ben General may be able to help you!" ”

Now is the best opportunity, taking advantage of Cao Cao's dilemma, to force him to comply. Otherwise, if you miss today, Cao Cao will still be his number one enemy in the future.

"Help me?" Cao Cao unexpectedly did not show the joy of dying in a desperate situation, but said calmly: "What is the price of helping me?" I'm afraid I can't afford it! ”

"Of course there is a price! But it's not as heavy as Mengde imagined! Nan Ying's heart turned sharply, and it was impossible to persuade him to fight back, after all, the lives of the whole family hung there, so there was only the next best thing.

"The contradictions between the sexagenary branch and me are irreconcilable, and I have no intention of embarrassing Mengde." Nan Ying said slowly: "But if there is any action that is unfavorable to our side, Meng De must report to me in advance, this request is not excessive, right?" ”

"Oh? Is that really all there is to it? Cao Cao's spirits were lifted, and he suddenly raised his head and said, "The general doesn't ask about other secrets?" ”

"It's about the net worth and life of Meng De's family, and the general hasn't been cold-blooded yet!" Nanying Zhengse said: "Don't say that Ben Jiang has always respected Meng De, it is Ling Zun Cao, and he is also a respectable elder." I only hope that Meng De will know his way back in the future, and don't mislead others and himself! ”

Cao Cao's body trembled slightly, and a look of gratitude finally appeared in his eyes, he took a deep look, walked out of the hall, and suddenly stopped again: "Nanying Yang has to be careful recently, I heard that the organization has begun to plan actions against you, but Cao Cao has been implicated in Wang Fen's case, but he doesn't know the specific details!" ”

"Meng De has a heart, Ben will act cautiously!" Nan Ying said happily: "Here, Ben will also have a word: the Son of Heaven ordered you to think about it for half a year, and you can keep your light and avoid disputes." When the dust settles in the future, it will be the time for Meng De to make a dignified comeback! ”

"Ben could have promised to help you!" He smiled and said: "In the future, Meng De will be proud of the world, but don't forget today's friendship!" ”

"Proud of the world?" Cao Cao looked dazed: "this year, it's nearly thirty, is there still a day?" can save his life, retreat with his whole body, is already content! ”

"It is rumored that even Xu Shao has commented on Meng De as 'a capable minister who rules the world by a son, and a traitor who is a traitor in troubled times', how can Meng De be so decadent?" Nanying had mixed feelings in his heart. Who would have imagined that the future generation of heroes would be so frustrated and even precarious. As Cao Cao said, he has always been "trying to survive in the cracks".

If this person is content with the status quo, it is fine, but he is ambitious, his heart is higher than the sky, and he is willing to take risks to strive for a chance to get ahead. This is Cao Cao's misfortune now, but it is his great luck in the future. If there is no tenacious belief to support him all the way, then there are only two endings: one is to do nothing for the rest of his life, and the other is to die halfway through the unpaid ambition, and there will be no more Emperor Taizuwu of Cao Wei.

A thousand thoughts drifted by in Nanying's heart in an instant, and he saw that Cao Cao was still staring at him, waiting for the following.

He got up and stepped forward and gently patted Cao Cao's shoulder: "Accumulate thick and thin, and become a late bloomer!" Ben will firmly believe that Meng De will shine in the future, leave his name in history, and be admired by countless future generations! ”

Cao Cao froze, and his eyes showed disbelief and surprise. At that moment, with his superhuman spiritual sense, Nan Ying could easily feel the volcanic eruption-like emotion in his heart, and even his eyes were a little moist.

I only heard Cao Cao's slightly choked voice, and said softly: "The general repays his grievances with virtue, such a mind will be admired by future generations!" ”

Looking at Cao Cao's back and disappearing behind the wall, Gao Shuncai frowned and said, "Brother Xian, it was not easy to find out such an important person in the Heavenly Stems Branch, do you really let it go?" ”

"Has the eldest brother forgotten this person's future achievements?" Nan Ying approached Gao Shun and said softly: "Heaven's will cannot be violated!" Otherwise, the consequences are unpredictable! ”

Gao Shun's eyes flashed with shock, and he finally nodded and didn't speak again.

Nanying not only took Cao Cao's handle, and won a trace of initiative for the general trend of the world that may appear in the future, but also successfully shook Cao Cao's loyalty and belief in the heavenly and earthly branches, and buried a nail deep in the heart of today's enemy. Hey? Yuanyi, what are you thinking? ”

Ma Yuanyi raised his head, his face was a little pale, and he smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid!" ”

"Scared?" Nan Ying and Gao Shun were surprised together: "What did you think of again?" ”

"The rebellion of the relatives shook the dynasty; The rebellion of the foreign tribes, the mountains and rivers are broken; And the great uprising initiated by my Taiping Dao has caused turmoil in the world! I have always thought that these are the source of all the troubles and changes in the world! Ma Yuanyi was stunned: "But, I was wrong!" ”

"For hundreds of years, relatives have fought for power, fighting for the favor of the Son of Heaven, no matter how the sword and sword, the country is still the country of the Han Dynasty! And the foreigners come and go like the wind, and although they bring heavy disasters to the people, they will not last long! Let's talk about the incident in our Taiping Road! ”

Ma Yuanyi pondered for a while before he said: "For most of the past half a year, Zai Xia has been thinking about this question, why did the general dare to have a bet with Zai Xia that day that 'he will lose within a year'?" In fact, it now seems that the general has long seen through the shallow foundation of the peasant uprising! It is difficult to sustain financial and material resources, there is no programmatic slogan, and there is no large number of talented people to maintain the military and government, how can we not be defeated? ”

Nan Ying finally couldn't help but say, "Yuan Yi, I didn't mean to interrupt you, but what do you want to say?" ”

"What I really want to say is that the above-mentioned turmoil is actually not terrible, and it cannot form a subversion of the imperial power of the Han Dynasty!" There was a hint of fear in Ma Yuanyi's voice: "What is really terrifying is the huge group of scholars hidden behind the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches!" ”

"Even after a powerful minister like Cao Cao, he has to deliberately move closer to the scholars Qingliu, and even do not hesitate to abandon his family! Isn't that scary? Ma Yuanyi's body trembled slightly: "These so-called Qingliu scholars with noble conduct are the source of the troubled times!" ”
