Chapter Ninety-Four: Xu Tian's Hunt

Cao Cao has been in a bad mood lately.

That Liu Bei has been very active recently. Since he was named the emperor's uncle, he went to Dong Cheng and others' homes to have a banquet all day long. It seems that his mind is very wild.

"This Liu Xuande, you can't make people worry about it at any time." Cao Cao's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes.

In fact, it's not just Liu Bei, since he became the Sikong, has there been fewer voices in the DPRK and China opposing him? It's just that he has a lot of power and firmly controls the situation, which doesn't give some people a chance to take advantage of. But if they are a little careless and show any flaws, then these people will definitely seize the opportunity and attack them in groups.

A few days ago, his eyeliner detected Zhao Yanyin, a member of the Lang Lang, raising a dead man, and wanted to do something extraordinary to himself. Fortunately, his subordinates noticed it early, and before he was ready for it, Cao Cao had him captured in one fell swoop and executed him for the crime of great rebellion.

It's just that not long after Zhao Yan's death, public opinion spread among the people, saying that Cao Sikong was a dictatorship and hegemon, Zhao Yan was loyal and upright, and repeatedly offended Cao Cao, and was regarded as a dissident by him, and finally framed and eradicated him.

Cao Cao was naturally annoyed by such remarks. Obviously, Zhao Yan wanted to be unfavorable to himself, and he just made the first move. As a result, how did the other party become a loyal and good person of the Han Dynasty, and he became a traitor who slandered the loyal and good?

Annoyance is annoyance, but Cao Cao really doesn't have a good way to deal with this kind of public opinion and rumors. Although I know that this is deliberately done by someone with a heart, after all, the rumors are circulating in the market, and I can't kill all those people in the market.

It's distressing. The ancients said that the rumors stopped at the wise, but the question is, how many wise people can there be in this world? Besides, among those wise men, there were many who were working against themselves.

Why are you forcing me like this, do you have to force me to the opposite side of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible!

Cao Cao felt that his head was faintly starting to hurt again, and he took a sip of bitter medicine to calm his emotions.

This medicine was prepared by Wu Heng, the doctor found by Gao Shun, for himself, although there was no way to cure his head wind, but whenever he had a headache, he could drink a sip of medicine to relieve his pain more or less.

Since you force me, then I will do as you wish! Don't blame me for being ruthless. After the headache was slightly eliminated, Cao Cao showed a fierce look.

At the court meeting the next day, Cao Cao said to the Son of Heaven: "The emperor of the ancients, spring and summer seedlings, autumn and winter hunting: go out to the suburbs at four o'clock to show your martial arts in the world." Today, when the four seas are disturbed, it is just borrowing the field to hunt to talk about martial arts. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the monarchs and ministers were surprised.

Field hunting? What kind of field hunting are you doing?

Cao Cao's opponents began to speculate about what Cao Cao had in mind, and what conspiracy he had arranged in this field hunt.

Emperor Han also had such an idea, he knew that Cao Cao's proposal to hold a field hunt would never be for a good rest and play. Emperor Han subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he looked at Cao Cao, what he saw was the other party's fierce eyes.

Emperor Han's heart froze, and he never dared to say anything against it.

In the past, although Cao Cao was in power, his attitude towards himself was very respectful, and he could be said to abide by the courtesy of his subordinates. He blatantly showed himself such a fierce light, which was unprecedented.

That kind of look, seen on Dong Zhuo's face, seen on Li Dao's face, can be said to be the source of fear in Emperor Han's heart. Under Cao Cao's coercion, Liu Xie could not say half a word of opposition.

"Since Sikong thinks that field hunting is feasible, let's go and prepare." After hesitating for a moment, Emperor Han finally had the strength to say such a sentence.

Those courtiers who claimed to be loyal to the Han family were shocked when they saw the Son of Heaven agree. In their opinion, Cao Cao's proposal for Tian Hunting must have a plan, and the Son of Heaven should not easily allow it. As soon as the emperor showed his intention to refute, they immediately rushed up and attacked Cao Cao.

Unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven didn't even think much about it, so he directly agreed to Cao Cao's proposal, which couldn't help but make them feel incredible.

Could it be that Cao Cao's control in the court is so great that even the Son of Heaven does not dare to express the slightest objection.

Everyone looked at each other.

Among the courtiers, Xun Yu sighed in an inaudible voice.

The situation I was most worried about finally came, and it came so quickly.

————————————————————————————————

Cao Cao surrounded a piece of land ten miles outside the city of Xuchang as a hunting ground, named Xu Tian, drove many wild beasts into it in advance, and equipped with good horses, handsome dogs, bows and arrows. After everything was ready, Cao Cao invited the Son of Heaven and his ministers into Xutian five days later and began the hunt.

Cao Cao's original mount, the Shadow Horse, was stabbed to death by the dying Lu Bu outside Xiaopei City, and now he has a clawed Huangfei Electric Horse as his new mount. At this time, Cao Cao rode his horse, keeping pace with the Son of Heaven, and even faintly surpassed the Son of Heaven by half a horse's head.

When the Han Emperor and his subordinates saw that they were formless, they all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

Gao Shun also rode his horse and followed Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven from afar.

"Tsk, I've been busy enough these days. A few days ago, I was going to participate in the literary meeting of Nalaoshzi, and today I have to accompany the boss to hunt. Gao Shun's archery skills are not perfect, and there is not much place for him to perform in Tian Hunting, at this time he sat on the back of the horse and thought to himself.

Everyone entered the hunting grounds, and the field hunt began. The generals rode their horses and chased their prey.

Although the archery skills are not very good, but when it comes, let's just have fun. With this mentality, Gao Shun also drove his horse to find prey.

After riding the horse and walking dozens of steps, a sika deer jumped in front of Gao Shun's eyes. Gao Shun aimed at the deer's head, bent his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow.

The sika deer let out a complaining wail, and Gao Shun's arrow stabbed into its buttocks.

"General Gao, good archery!" A member of the Cao General saw Gao Shun shoot an arrow into the deer's buttocks and praised loudly.

Gao Shun waved his hand again and again and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

Alas, it was the head of the deer that was aimed at it, and it was the butt of the deer that was shot, how could such a humiliating thing be spoken?

And over there, Cao Cao also began to embarrass the Son of Heaven.

"I would like to watch the Son of Heaven's archery." After an arrow hit a hare, Cao Cao said to the Han Emperor.

Liu Xie was very depressed in his heart, I was in the deep palace when I was a child, and I have been bullied by Dong Zhuo and others since I became the emperor, how can I have time to practice archery?

But if at such a time, he said to Cao Cao that I can't shoot, it was undoubtedly showing weakness to Cao Cao in front of everyone, which Emperor Han was unwilling to see.

What now?

"If my emperor doesn't give up, the minister is willing to shoot on behalf of the Son of Heaven." Liu Bei saw the dilemma of the Han Emperor and hurriedly stepped forward to play a round for the Han Emperor.

"Xuande, as my uncle, can show his archery skills on my behalf." When Emperor Han saw Liu Bei coming out, he hurriedly said as if he was grasping a life-saving straw. Since he recognizes Liu Bei as the emperor's uncle, if he shows something here, it can be regarded as fighting for the royal family.

"What Your Majesty said is very inappropriate! Although Liu Xuande is the emperor's uncle, what does his archery have to do with His Majesty's archery? Today, His Majesty asked him to shoot on his behalf, and he will be able to sit on the dragon chair in the future! ”

These words are extremely polite, and they are extremely damning. Liu Xie and Liu Bei's faces turned purple all of a sudden.

Hateful! Hateful!

And Guan Yu Zhang Fei, who was behind Liu Bei, was even more angry, glaring at Cao Cao.
