Chapter 63 The wind and dust are served, and there is no room for trouble
The weather in early spring was capricious, and this year's cold was even more violent.
Countless poor people on the outskirts of Luoyang complained about the ghostly weather, curled up, hiding in their dilapidated nests, and their eyes kept glancing at the snowy scene outside the window.
The whole city of Luoyang is also bitterly cold, except for the lively east and west cities, few people walk on the streets.
Historically, the first Xiaoice period has quietly arrived.
The leader of the defenders at the east gate of Luoyang City, named Hu Wuban, a native of Taishan, was Cao Cao's best partner except for Zhang Miao when he was studying art in Taixue.
At this time, it was already dawn, and Hu Wuban ordered the defenders to open the city gates.
Several guards of the city, including him, breathed white air in their mouths, their faces stiffened from the cold, and they kept complaining about the increasingly cold ghost weather, and their bodies tacitly burrowed into the door hole, withdrawing their hands, preparing to symbolically check the flow of people entering the city.
Of course, in such a ghost weather, basically no one enters the city.
Outside the city gate, the stagnant water on the ground turned into ice crystals, slippery, and unusually dazzling.
But at this moment, at the end of the official road connected to the east gate of Luoyang, the sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded.
The sound of horses' hooves made Hu Wuban raise some spirits, and he looked up at the thin mist at the end of the official road in the light of dawn.
But I could see that in the hazy mist, the speed of the two men and the two horses was like a gallop, and the beards of the two men on the horses were full of ice crystals, which seemed to have been frozen, and the horses they were riding, the four hooves were trembling, and they didn't know whether they were frozen or tired, and their mouths were constantly snorting.
Subconsciously, there were a few guards and soldiers blocking the doorway, and the people who came were so eager that their identities were unknown, and they had to be properly investigated.
Who knows, the man on the white horse shouted loudly. "Brother Ji Youxian, I'm Cao Cao, let me enter the city."
Ji Younai is the name of Hu Wuban, and he is called a virtuous brother, there is only one person in the world, Cao Cao, a classmate of Taixue, who is regarded as the eldest brother Cao Cao.
Hearing this familiar voice, Hu Wuban had a feeling of being in a different world, and he hurriedly rubbed his eyes and looked closely...
The short man who rode a horse to bear the brunt was not Cao Cao? Cao Mengde? Who else could there be?
But at this time, Cao Cao was wearing a black jacket, dusty, his body was frozen, and he looked very tired, as if he had been riding for several days and nights in a row, but his eyes showed an urgent light, as if he couldn't wait. A man behind him was tall, handsome, with rough cheeks, but he still couldn't hide his face, of course, he was also very tired, and seemed to ride here, all with perseverance.
This man, Hu Wuban also knows, is a student two years younger than them, Cao Cao's follower Xiahou Yuan.
Seeing Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan rushing like a whirlwind, Hu Wuban hurriedly beckoned the guards of the city. "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
All the city guards hurriedly retreated subconsciously, not daring to stop them.
Hu Wuban knows Cao Cao too well, just looking at his appearance, he knows that he must have 100,000 urgent things, but? The Cao family has been in the limelight recently? Cao Songguan was reinstated and ranked Jiuqing, Cao Cao's son Cao Shuo was crooked, and he made a lot of money by hoarding Hu Mu, and the Cao family became the richest man in Luoyang? Such a good situation? Why did Cao Cao come in such a hurry? Is there anything urgent?
Before thinking about it, Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan's fast horses had already passed through the door hole and drove into Luoyang City!
……
……
"Miaocai, it's good that you wait for me here."
Cao Cao did not forget to advise. "If I can't go back, Ang'er and Shuo'er will ask you to take care of him, especially Shuo'er, he is talented and intelligent, you must always supervise him and lead him to the right path." The tone was gentle, but Cao Cao's tone was like a dying request.
At this time, Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan rode to the Middle East Gate, and then the forward position could not be ridden, so Cao Cao handed over the horse to Xiahou Yuan, and he ran forward quickly, although he was very tired and cold, but for some reason, Cao Cao seemed to have inexhaustible strength.
"Mengde, maybe it's not that serious." Xiahou Yuan didn't forget to answer, but his brows, which were frozen into ice crystals, frowned, seemed to be because of his inconsistent heart, and he was very worried about Cao Cao.
Cao Cao didn't answer anything more, just ran away quickly.
Enter the East Gate to the south to Luoyang East Street, the three largest houses here are Sikong Mansion, Situ Mansion and Taiwei Mansion in turn, Cao Cao passed through the door of these three mansions, did not stop for a moment, turned a corner and traveled to the west for another thousand meters, until the Canglong Gate of Luoyang South Palace, did not stop.
Call... With a long breath, the palace gate was in front of me.
Cao Cao patted the mud on his body, tidied up his clothes slightly, now he is not the same as the stunned young man a year ago, he has become much more sensible, rubbing his temples, as if he wants to make himself more energetic.
"I bothered to inform Cao Da Changqiu, and said that Cao Cao came to visit." Cao Cao respectfully saluted the guards guarding the gate of the palace, and his tone was quite polite.
Not? Is he Cao Cao?
As soon as he heard the name of "Cao Cao", the guards of the entire palace gate surrounded him, looked left and right, and began to judge his character.
Belch... This is? Cao Cao was a little surprised, he didn't seem to be so famous?
Could it be...
Cao Cao's brows furrowed, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
He traveled with Xiahou Yuan for five days, changed four fast horses, and rushed to Luoyang, Kyoto day and night, because he heard a news five days ago, and the heroes of Dunqiu County united to write a letter of "Ten Sins" to sue Cao Cao.
This news was quietly sent to Qian County by a conscientious official in Dunqiu, and even brought the text of the Ten Sins with him.
At first glance, Cao Cao felt that this matter was very important.
Not to mention the content of the total slander in the "Ten Sins", just privately removing His Majesty from the official position he sold, this is a capital crime, and it is a capital crime that is enough to destroy the nine clans!
Now Cao Cao, who has read the book of war for two years, has become a much more thorough understanding of human feelings and sophistication, and he knows deeply how angry his actions will make the Son of Heaven and what a catastrophe it will bring to the Cao family.
Alas... Shuo'er can study Taixue at the age of six, and her future is limitless, but she never thought that today, because of her own person, she would have to affect Shuo'er and the Cao family.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's heart was extremely guilty, this father had pulled his son's hind legs.
Of course, Cao Cao is a responsible person, if he is wrong, he has to face it, he can't be coaxed, he can't escape, the so-called remedy is not too late, what Cao Cao has to do now is to come to Cao Jie, be recommended by Cao Jie, personally ask the Son of Heaven for guilt, and beg him to punish him only Cao Cao.
If you act quickly, you can catch up with the ten sins before the book, and there is still a chance to turn around!
However, now, Cao Cao is a little stunned, the entire defenders of the East City Gate know him, this is not good news, most likely the Son of Heaven has received the Ten Sins, and the order to punish the Cao family has been issued, are these guards gloating?
"I bothered to inform Cao Da Changqiu, and said that Cao Cao came to visit." Cao Cao repeated this again, and his tone was resolute.
Who knows, this kind of guard is happy.
"Hello? Are you really Cao Cao? A leader asked with interest.
"It's like a fake!" Cao Cao patted his chest.
"Come, come, tell me... What the hell is going on? in order to give birth to a son who will make money. The guard pulled Cao Cao over, "When you gave birth to your youngest son Cao Shuo?" What the hell did you eat? Is it ginseng? Matsutake mushrooms? Or is it some wacky remedies? You tell us secretly, and we promise not to say it! ”
