In May, Ma Chaojun waited for the situation to change in Guangzong County, and before that, he had continuously swept the surrounding Yellow Turban Army and captured countless baggage.

On the other hand, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was in full swing, the Yellow Turban Army was attacking fiercely, and the imperial army was retreating.

Luoyang, above the early dynasty, Emperor Han Ling, sitting in the dragon chair, looked nervous, looked at the pieces of defeat one after another, sighed for a long time, and shook his head again and again.

The officials under the court are also very sluggish, and they don't know what to do.

Cao Cao, who was standing at the end, looked at the ministers in the hall who only knew how to sigh, but did nothing, his right eye trembled, and then he went out.

"Your Majesty, now that the Yellow Turban is in trouble, and the imperial army is not suppressing it effectively, the minister is willing to personally lead a large army to sweep away the scourge for Your Majesty!"

When Emperor Han Ling heard this, he was overjoyed: "Could it be that Aiqing, there is a good way to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Minister, you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but you have a small number of officials, and if you want to kill the enemy for the country, you have no way to serve the country, so I implore Your Majesty to grant the minister the right to fight!" ”

There are such valiant people!

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty just planned to add an official to Cao Cao, and the general He entered and exited the column: "Cao Cao's heart to serve the country is as clear as a model for the world, and the minister thinks that he should worship Cao Cao as the captain of the cavalry, and lead the army to Yingchuan, first rescue Huangfu Song with Zhu Jun, and then join forces to attack the thieves!" ”

Not good!

Cao Cao's original intention was to attack Zhang Jiao in Jizhou first, and hurriedly said: "The plan to retreat from the enemy is to destroy its thief head first, and the thief head will die, and the remaining thieves will be just a rabble, and they can be eliminated with a gesture!" ”

"Hehehehe."

He Jin stroked his beard and smiled: "Meng De, I am a general, you are just a councillor in the court, but you dare to discuss military affairs in vain above the court?" ”

"Don't you know how to fight?"

The anger in his chest came out, his chest rose and fell, Cao Cao took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Meng De, I have been taught!" ”

In the end, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty worshiped Cao Cao as the cavalry captain, and led the army to join forces with Huangfu Song, and he knew it very well in his heart.

Why did He Jin have to go to Yingchuan County first?

Because the Yingchuan family gathered, He Jin wanted to lick the cold butts of these wealthy families, He Jin, who was originally a butcher, relied on his sister to marry into the palace, and in the ears of the emperor, he blew the wind on the pillow, and only then did he get mixed with the position of the general.

The Yingchuan family looked down on He Jin's criticism from the bottom of his heart, so he took this opportunity to ask me Cao Cao to lead the troops to fight the Yingchuan Yellow Turban first and rescue the family.

On the way home, Cao Cao lamented again and again: "Pitiful, pity, lamentable, ridiculous!" ”

Cao Cao was speechless, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Could it be that I, Cao Mengde, can only be a petty official all the time in my life, let the traitorous eunuch be in charge, but I can't get rid of thieves for the country?!" ”

At this moment, in front of Cao Cao, a literati walked in, and he bowed to Cao Cao slightly: "I, Xi Zhicai, have been waiting for my lord here for a long time." ”

"Oh? Xi Zhicai, what's the matter with you? ”

Xi Zhicai, who was dressed as a Confucian student, had a sense of elegance in Cao Cao's eyes, with a green shirt and a Confucian robe, but his face was very pale.

Xi Zhicai said: "I heard before that the adult was evaluated by Xu Shao as a traitor in troubled times, right? ”

"Hah!"

As soon as you come up, you will give me this play, is it to humiliate me?

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, what do you want?" ”

After receiving Cao Cao's affirmation, Xi Zhicai immediately said: "The traitor, the male master of power and strategy, especially in this era of imminent chaos, is commendable, if you can serve under the adult's account, I am grateful!" ”

"What?"

I really didn't expect that when I walked on the street, someone would come to take refuge in me, Cao Cao was really happy, and swept away the bad luck in the court.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately grabbed Xi Zhicai's hand: "Go!" Come home with me! ”

That night, the two talked in Cao's mansion, and talked about the dawn of the day, and Cao Cao felt that the talent of the opera was immeasurable.

A few days later, Cao Cao led the army to the expedition, and under his account, there was Xi Zhicai as the staff officer of the army, and Cao Ren and Cao Hong brothers as generals, and soon entered the boundary of Yingchuan County.

In the middle of May, the reinforcements did not arrive, and the besieged Huangfu Song had a plan, in the evening, a strong wind blew, and the Huangfu Song ordered the soldiers to quietly go out of the city with torches, and use the weeds around the Yellow Turban military camp to attack the thieves with fire.

Subsequently, Huangfu Song shouted to attack, and the city raised torches at the same time in response, Huangfu Song beat drums to help the battle, the army rushed into the enemy formation, and the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos and ran around.

encountered Cao Cao's reinforcements again, and was attacked by Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Cao Cao on three sides, killing tens of thousands of people, and the Han army won a great victory.

Cao Cao became famous in the first battle and was named the prime minister of Jinan, but he didn't leave in Yingchuan County, visiting the Yingchuan clan everywhere, and wanted to kidnap a few people before leaving.

Yingchuan County, for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of the Qi State territory, at the same time, the Jixia School Palace is also here, when the Jixia School Palace, the sons of a hundred schools of thought contended, creating a generation of ideological conception of the prosperous era.

And the descendants of the hundreds of families have all taken root here, formed families, and continued until the Eastern Han Dynasty, which has formed a place where wealthy families gather.

Cao Cao was not discouraged after taking Xi Zhicai to eat a closed door, and the two took the soldiers to the next family.

"Zhicai, who is the family in front?"

"Xun's."

When Cao Cao heard this, he was surprised: "Xun clan? But the descendants of the Confucian master Xunzi? ”

Xi Zhicai nodded: "Yes, it is the descendant of Xunzi, but this family is a little different." ”

"What's the difference?"

"The Yingchuan Xun family, the second largest family here, originally respected Confucianism, but secretly pursued the law and family affairs."

Cao Cao was interested: "So interesting? ”

"Yes, Confucian skin, Legalist bones, Xunzi has three major disciples, Li Si, Han Fei, and Zhang Cang, all of whom are representatives of Legalism. Zhang Cang is also a descendant of Zhang Yi, and Zhang Cang's disciple is still Jia Yi. ”

Seeing more and more people from the Xun family, Cao Cao said: "Fa people, don't be close to each other, don't be noble and cheap, break off the law!" ”

"To rule the country by law, to promote the virtuous and capable, to make the best use of people, is to be a tyrant."

The two talked all the way, and soon arrived at Xun's house, Cao Cao stepped forward, knocked on the door with the knocker, and poked a head out of it.

Cao Cao thought it was a doorman, and worshipped: "My name is Cao Cao, now I am the captain of the imperial court, and I am about to set off and go to Jinan to serve as the prime minister. ”

The other party was still young and had just become an adult, and after listening to Cao Cao's words, he said: "I am a member of the Xun family, Xun Yu, if you want to see the Xun family, just talk to me." ”

Xi Zhicai stepped forward and said: "I have heard the eight dragons of the Xun family for a long time, like thunder, especially Lord Xun Shuang, who is a genius in the world, I hope to see it." ”

"Huh."

Xun Yu laughed and said: "The two of you, it's quite interesting, others come to my house to meet the head of the family and others, and they all come with gifts, what about you?" Is it the way to see with empty hands? ”

After listening to Xun Yu's ridiculous words, Cao Cao was not angry: "Others came to visit and came with gifts, which was for the Xun family." And I, Cao Mengde, came here to let your Xun family come and beg me! ”

Scold!

This person's tone was quite crazy, Xun Yu was a little unhappy, so he said, "Oh? Please advise! ”

Cao Cao straightened his clothes and said: "Fang is down today, the chaos has been presented, the traitorous eunuchs are in charge, the people are not living, since you are the descendants of Xun Qing, you should naturally know the way of change, I think you are more than 20 years old, why don't you go out of office, serve the country, just sit at home, waste time?" ”

Xun Yuqi said: "The cycle of heaven is unpredictable, how can it be controlled by manpower?" I should sit at home, study in spring and summer, hunt in autumn and winter, and wait for the world to be peaceful, and then go out to the country! ”

Cao Cao continued: "The way of heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for destruction. This is Xun Qing's words, although people dominate nature, but also to conform to the laws of nature, the world will fall apart, nature will be united, together for a long time will be divided, divided for a long time. ”

"In today's world, in my opinion, the heroes and powers in various places are about to rise because of the yellow scarf, you are not only the descendants of Xun Qing, but also the crown, it is better to be out of me, seeking the connection between impermanence and permanence, how about it?"

"Hahahaha!"

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Xun Yu laughed and said, "You guy, you've been talking to me for a long time, and the last sentence is the point!" ”

was poked in front of him, Cao Cao was thick-skinned, and said indifferently: "Whether it is impermanence or permanence, shouldn't it be actually operated to get the answer?" ”

Xun Yu was very moved, but hesitated, Xi Zhi saw that someone was walking this way inside the door, immediately grabbed Xun Yu, and said: "Whether it's right or wrong, you follow us first, that is!" ”

After that, he joined forces with Cao Cao and the two of them, took out a bundle of ropes, and under Xun Yu's stunned gaze, he was tied up in a few circles, tied up with five flowers, and carried him away directly.
