In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, on the fourteenth day of the first month, the first day of ninety-nine, there were still four days before the sting.

Due to the leap October, this year's spring will be earlier.

The peace negotiations with Jiangdong went smoothly, and the Shoutian Yu of Nanyang County in the north and Wen Ping, the general of Xinye Shou, also sent people to Jiangling to negotiate, and the Jingzhou army was rarely comfortable.

It's just that in the middle of winter, there are many incidents of hungry beasts attacking the strongholds of the military and the people.

Guan Yu seconded 300 horsemen to Tian Xin and asked him to clear the area east of Jiangling, which was infested with tigers in the swampy rotten land formed by the accumulation of sediment in Guyun Mengze...... It's normal.

There are also brown bears in the Jingshan area, and jackals are even more common.

The ground is frozen, the iron hooves are trampled, and the beasts that are hidden dangers and will have an impact on spring ploughing are searched and driven.

Three hundred horsemen drove back and forth, and if they could kill, they would be killed, and if they could not be killed, they would be driven to the trap or solved by foot combat.

Guan Xing accompanied him to participate in this military exercise-like hunt, looking into the distance, where Tian Xin was holding a blood-stained Fang Tian Halberd in his left hand and two thin tiger cubs like cats in his right hand, thin like cats, and his round head was very disproportionate to his body.

The Han River swelled and rushed into the ancient road on the north bank, submerged in the armies of Ban and Pang De, and the water was at its highest level with the city wall of Fancheng.

Such a large torrent washed down, and although the complicated river channels on both sides of the Han River could discharge the flood, it also drowned too many beasts.

Yunmengze is a natural flood discharge area, and the upstream flood water rises and washes down, and there is no harm after filling Yunmengze.

can be filled with Yunmengze, and the unlucky ones can only be the beasts living inside, the fleeing people, and the bandits.

Tigers can swim and survive more.

Tian Xin handed over the two tiger cubs to the tribe's own soldiers, and in the past five or six days, more than a dozen tiger cubs as big as cats had been collected, and most of the larger young tigers were killed.

I don't know how many of these tiger cubs can feed on dog milk, and whether they can be infected after feeding.

To infect a tiger, you don't need its combat effectiveness, you need deterrence.

Just like now, what a school captain can do, Guan Yu sent him to clean it up, in order to kill the tiger and raise his name.

Reputation is the foundation of life, can deter the enemy, encourage one's own military and civilian, and is a strategic resource.

The cavalry was responsible for searching and driving, and Tian Xin led his troops to surround and kill, and this was the whole process.

Killing the tiger and raising the prestige can better exercise the coordination and cooperation of the troops and the overall courage.

Back at the temporary camp, a young man who stayed behind was wearing black patent leather armor and a tiger skin skirt around his waist, and stepped forward and bowed his hand: "General, the prince and the prince have arrived." ”

His name is Li Hengzi Shuping, sixteen years old, both father and son are Xiangyang Army, adapted into Guanping's Longxiang Army. Mai Cheng was wounded in the first battle, and because of his hard work, he was promoted to assistant by Tian Xin.

Not only Li Heng, Tian Xin's military officials, but also the soldiers of the tribe are mostly equipped with tiger skin waists, what they want is battlefield deterrence and legend.

Li Heng's body is thin, and the waist circumference of an ordinary sergeant, he wraps it around his waist like an ultra-short apron.

In the camp tent stitched with thick linen, Tian Xin untied the seal of the lacquer seal, took out the silk book and glanced at it and handed it to Guan Xing: "Tomorrow I will move to Zhangxiang to hunt wild boars and winter bears, and Ah Xing will lead the knight back to Jiangling." ”

"Won't the eldest brother go back to Gangneung together?"

"No, the winter bears are waking up one after another, and it is the time of hunger and ferocity. The last few days have been the most violent and cannot be delayed. ”

Tian Xin took out two strings of tiger tooth necklaces, one large and one small, from the rattan box and threw them to Guan Xing: "Send them to my little sister and your sister for me." ”

The tiger teeth on the necklace are all clean and white-skinned tiger teeth, like white jade.

Guan Xing wears a tiger tooth bracelet on both hands, but the tiger teeth are not in good condition and look rough.

The grass and trees in the Jingshan area have been burned and cut down, and wild boars have gone down the mountain to forage for food, and most of them have invaded the newly opened breeding bases. The bear is also awake from hibernation, and finds that the outside of the cave is bare, and it will definitely hurt people when it encounters logging sergeants, captives, and barbarian men.

As the temperature gradually warms up, Cao Cao of Luoyang has also entered the countdown to life, and his spirit is not as good as day by day.

Feeling that time was running out, he had already sent someone to deliver Cao Zhang, barely supporting.

On the twenty-third day of the first lunar month, accompanied by Xiahoudun, Jiang Ji, Sima Yi, Jia Kui, Dong Zhao, etc., Cao Cao dictated with difficulty: "I slept in the middle of the night, and it was not good; Until tomorrow, drink porridge and sweat, and take angelica soup. I am in the army, and I hold the law. As for petty wrath, great negligence, undue effect. ”

"The world has not yet been settled, and it has not been obeyed by the ancients."

"I have a head disease, and I have been sick first. After I die, I will not leave it behind when I hold the big clothes as they are. ”

"A hundred officials should be in the palace, fifteen raise sounds; After the burial, the clothes are removed; Those who are stationed in the cantonment are not allowed to leave the cantonment; There is a division and each rate is a job. ”

"Collect the clothes of the time, buried in the west of Ye, close to the Ximen Leopard Temple, no gold and jade jewelry."

"My concubines and servants are all diligent, so they live in Tongquetai and treat them well. On the platform, a six-foot bed is installed, a tent is placed under the table, and the family of the preserved rice is set up in the court. On the fifteenth day of the month, from morning to noon, he made fun of the tent. You wait to climb the bronze bird platform from time to time and look at the cemetery field in the west of Wuxi. ”

"The remaining incense can be divided among the ladies, and it is not sacrificed. There is nothing to do in the houses, but you can learn to sell them. The ribbons obtained by my officials are all in Tibet. The rest of my clothes, don't hide it. If they cannot, the brothers may divide together. ”

chattering, Cao Cao couldn't wait for Cao Zhang, who came to see him, so he closed his eyes.

As soon as Cao Cao died, Cao Zhang's elite was outside, did he mourn according to Cao Cao's request, or did he not mourn secretly?

Jia Kui, the counselor in charge of the funeral, rejected the proposal of the others, advocated a public funeral, and sent messengers to inform the counties, the armies, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

Without Cao Zhang's suppression, Xiahoudun lacked military prestige in the Qingxu army, and the Qingzhou army stationed in Tunluoyang was immediately chaotic, and the Qingzhou army was strong, but there was no leader and general, forcibly coerced Xuzhou Zangba's department, clamored and preached that the world would be chaotic, and he wanted to flee back to Qingxu for refuge.

At this critical moment, Jia Kui tried his best to suppress the Qingxu army, refused to suppress the Qingxu army, said good words to appease, sent an official letter to the army to let the Qingxu army maintain its formation and withdraw to his hometown, and ordered the counties along the way to provide supplies.

As soon as the Qingxu army was clamoring to leave, and the officials, soldiers and civilians of Luoyang were panicking, Cao Zhang, the general of the Yue cavalry, led the army to gallop from Chang'an to Luoyang, and worshiped Cao Cao first.

At the end of the worship, Cao Zhangpo asked, "Where is the seal of King Wei?" ”

"The prince is in Ye, and the state has a reserve and vice-president. The first king is scarf, and it is not appropriate for the prince to ask. ”

Jia Kui's face was straight, but everyone stared at Cao Zhang's trembling right hand, which slowly pressed against the Baipi knife worn on his left waist.

The generals and Rui Shi who came with Cao Zhang all stared at Xiahoudun, Xu Chu and others, and Xu Chu and the others and the peripheral guards also looked at each other angrily.

A fire could break out at any moment, followed by the Wei Civil War, which swept the north.

The civil war between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang was particularly fierce, even more tragic than against Cao Jun.

As a result, the Yuan brothers were destroyed, and Yuan Xi was left with heirs.

And Guanzhong is barren, Liangzhou is unstable, Liu Bei looks down on Guanlong, and Guan Yu dominates Jingzhou.

Cao Zhang's right hand touched the handle of the Baipi knife, holding it tightly, his mind was agitated, he was not only in control of his own destiny at the moment, but also the fate of Jia Kui, Sima Yi and others, the whole world was at a crossroads, and the steering wheel was in Cao Zhang's hands.

their own ideals, their lives, their wives and their children's future; the foundation of his father Cao Cao, the survival and future of the Cao family; There are also the faces of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, the faces of more than a dozen nephews, the faces of his mother, sisters in the family, and the voices all gathered in Cao Zhang's mind.

On the other hand, the ardent hope of the officers and men of the army, the joy and indulgence of the world, are supporting him.

Draw the knife, or give up?
