Chapter 140: The Big Thing
The sword light Huo Huo knife shadow is flying, Cao Xing holds the wooden sword in his hand, and keeps chopping the big tree in front of him, now two months have passed in a flash, if it is placed two months ago, in the eyes of others, Cao Xing chopping the big tree, just holding the wooden sword, constantly chopping up, there is nothing special, but now Cao Xing chopping the tree, giving people a feeling of something special.
There is slowness in the fast, there is stillness in the slow, and there is movement in the stillness, this is the feeling that Cao Xing gives people now.
After practicing for almost half an hour, Cao Xuan suddenly heard someone calling him behind him, and when he looked back, he didn't know when, Xiao Man was already holding a basin of water, guarding behind him, and looked at Cao Xuan with a smile.
"Childe, you've worked hard these days, come, rub your face first."
Xiao Man said, directly put the handkerchief into the wooden basin, and then wet it, Cao Xuan wanted to take it, but Xiao Man didn't care so much, took the handkerchief and began to wipe it for Cao Xing, Cao Xuan was a little embarrassed.
"Okay, Xiaoman, the hardest person should be you, there are many places to go in this mountain, you can walk more when you are fine, but you must remember not to come back too late!" Cao Xuan said with a smile.
And Xiao Man also smiled and nodded: "Childe, I have been walking behind these days and found that there are many wild vegetables there, today I will pick some to cook soup for Childe to drink, and make up for his body." ”
After saying these words, Xiao Man jumped away, and Cao Xuan looked at Xiao Man's figure, and shook his head helplessly, but just when he was about to raise the wooden sword and practice again, he suddenly felt that in the other direction, it seemed that something was wrong, he turned his head and found that there was already a person squatting there, and at this moment the person looked at Cao Xing's gaze, which was a look of envy.
"Brother Cao Xing, life is quite nourishing!" Shi A stood up and shook his head and said with emotion as he approached Cao Xing.
Before, because everyone was not familiar with it, so Cao Xuan also beat Shi A to a serious injury, Shi A lay down for more than a month, a few days ago before he could walk on the ground, Cao Xuan also felt embarrassed, he put down the wooden sword in his hand, and also walked to Shi A's side.
Now Shi A can be regarded as half of Cao Xing's senior brother, after all, Cao Xuan is also Wang Yue's student.
"How is Senior Brother Shi's injury? It doesn't matter! ”
Shi Ah didn't care, waved his hand and said: "We people who walk the rivers and lakes, when we are the most depressed, we face fighting and killing all day long, what is that little injury, at most it is a little skin, a little blood, don't care!" ”
Cao Xuan smiled, and started chatting with Shi Xing, both of them are swordsmen, so they focused on the aspect of swordsmanship at the beginning, Shi A has been observing Cao Xing's swordsmanship just now, and he is still very sure of Cao Xing's progress.
"Brother Cao Xing, the swordsmanship you use should be the swordsmanship of the Mo family, pay attention to fierceness and domineering, although I have never practiced the swordsmanship of the Mo family, but I still see the number of roads very clearly, I dare not say that you have now practiced to the point of great success, but how is it also a small success, I believe you can feel it yourself, you can also experience it yourself, after two months of hard training, your physical condition should be greatly improved!"
Shi A's words are very pertinent, although Cao Xing has not changed much on the surface, but Cao Xuan obviously feels that the strength of his body has become stronger, and the strength and flexibility of his arms are gradually increasing, if it is simply described in one sentence, that is Cao Xing's feeling, now he has endless strength all over his body, if it were not for Shi A's initial recovery from injury, he was ready to let Shi A have a fair duel with him, in order to test the results of his training.
Although Shi A's swordsmanship is not as good as Wang Yue, he still gave Cao Xing corresponding guidance in many aspects, and Cao Xing listened while recording these things firmly in his heart.
"Brother Cao Xing, practice hard, now it has been proved that your talent should be in the field of kendo, since this is the case, then work hard!"
Cao Xuan nodded, then glanced at Shi A, and said, "Brother Shi A, in fact, there is one thing that I have been holding in my heart, and I ask you to answer it today!" ”
Shi Ah was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he nodded, Cao Xuan just thought for a moment, and then asked, "Shi A, why did you assassinate the queen?" You must know that this is a big crime of the Nine Clans, if one of them is not careful that day, not only you, but even Master Wang Yue will also be implicated! ”
Shi Ah sighed when he heard this, then shook his head and said: "It's also me who is confused for a while, we people who run the rivers and lakes have their own gossip, I heard the news when I was drinking in the tavern that day, someone wants to buy a murderer, and the target of the assassination is still a high-ranking official in the palace, but if the action is successful, there is also a great reward!" ”
Cao Xuan squinted his eyes and listened to Shi A's answer, there was a lot of gossip on the rivers and lakes. Shi A didn't dare to say what kind of veteran he was, but he was by no means a person who listened to the wind and rain, and he couldn't believe it so easily.
In the end, Shi Ah also said the most critical place: "The person who connected with me was a middle-aged man in his forties, with an ordinary appearance, nothing special, even if you asked me to look for it now, it would be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and I couldn't find anyone at all, he asked me to enter the palace to assassinate the queen, and make the palace as chaotic as possible, at first I didn't believe that he could help my master become an official, but then he showed something that made me have to believe it!" ”
"Whatever!"
"General's Mansion Seal Letter!"
When these five words popped out of Shi A's mouth, Cao Xing's head was a little groggy, and he didn't seem to have figured out the key to the problem, but just after a while, both of them turned around and turned back, Zou Man, who had already left, ran back in a panic at this moment, Cao Xuan looked at it, thinking that something had happened to Xiao Man, and hurriedly went up and grabbed Xiao Man, but Xiao Man went to look at Cao Xuan and said.
"Childe, General Chewu is here! I say I have something very important to report to you! ”
Cao Xuan nodded and didn't say much, and returned home directly, at this moment Che Wu was already waiting in the room, Cao Xuan looked at Che Wu and smiled, and asked Che Wu what was the matter, Che Wu took out a stack of letters and handed them to Cao Xing.
"Lord, in the two months that you have been away, there have been a total of six letters from Dingzhou, I have carefully read these six letters, if my estimate is correct, all the ideas above were thought out by Fengyun, Liu Wan and that Jia Kui, because you are not there, I don't want to bother rashly, so I didn't give them an accurate answer, just let them wait patiently!"
Cao Xuan sat in his position, read the contents of the letters one by one, and after a while, Cao Xuan smiled.
Now he has been gone for almost four months, and he doesn't know what the specific situation is on the side of Bingzhou, but he can see from the letter that at least Fengyun Liu Wan and others have listened to what he said before leaving, and after Cao Xing left, they began to work hard.
is not only strengthening itself, but also constantly strengthening Bianyun County, after all, Bianyun County is a few of them, and most of the content on the letter is some reform measures about Bianyun County, these reform measures are all derived from Cao Xing's previous thoughts, Cao Xuan read it, and did not feel that there was anything wrong, so he smiled and said to Che Wu.
"Che Wu, I'm bothering you, you can write a reply letter and send it to Bingzhou later, tell them a few, their plan, I agree with all of them, let them rest assured and boldly do it!"
Che Wu nodded, and Cao Xuan also put these letters on the table, but seeing that Che Wu still had no intention of leaving, Cao Xuan couldn't help but stop and asked Che Wu again: "What, is there anything else!" ”
Che Wu glanced at Cao Xing, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord, yesterday evening, the general entered the palace, but he did not return overnight, and now Situ Ding Palace and Yuan Shao and others are already gathering troops and horses, and it seems that they are going to attack the palace!" ”
When Che Wu's words just spit out, Cao Xing's whole person was about to explode. Such an important thing, what is Che Wu doing so hard? Why didn't you say it early in the morning, maybe in Che Wu's eyes, the matter of Luoyang could not be as important as the matter of Bianyun County, so I left it to the end.
Cao Xuan knew the seriousness of the matter, walked up, grabbed Che Wu's hand and asked, "Have they entered the palace now?" ”
Che Wu looked at Cao Xing's nervous expression, and didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied truthfully: "Lord, on the way here, I saw that they seemed to have assembled their army, but they still hadn't completely entered it!" ”
Hearing Che Wu's answer, Cao Xuan calculated the time, Che Wu came here from Luoyang, it took almost two hours, even if Yuan Shao and their soldiers and horses were numerous, but if they wanted to conquer the palace, I am afraid it was not so easy, Cao Xuan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly packed up his utensils and prepared to leave here.
If Cao Xing didn't guess wrong, this time it should be the death date of the Ten Standing Attendants, but the Ten Standing Servants have been operating in the palace for many years, and it is precisely because this is their business that they have caused a lot of turmoil. Cao Xuan still needs to go and see it for himself.
Cao Xing first found Shi A and said hello to Shi A, Shi A also understood what Cao Xuan meant, let Cao Xuan rest assured, he would tell Wang Yue, and then Cao Xuan took three fast horses on the mountain, and the three of them quickly galloped towards Luoyang.
When Cao Xing arrived in Luoyang, he could find that the streets of Luoyang were already a little chaotic, although there were no officers and soldiers slaughtering the people, but one team after another of officers and soldiers hurriedly passed through the streets, directly knocking over many people, which also caused some panic.
Cao Xuan asked Zhou Man to go back to the post station first, and he and Che Wu quickly rushed to the barracks, Cao Xing directly ordered a thousand soldiers and horses, and led a thousand horses from the stable, all of which were cavalry configurations, and then galloped out of the barracks and pursued in the direction of the palace.
At this moment, at the main gate of the palace, it has become a pot of porridge, only to see Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others standing below with blood-red eyes, among which Yuan Shao held a sword, shouted loudly to order the soldiers behind him, and constantly charged forward, and even he took the ladder to attack the city, just to capture the head of the palace.
Yesterday, Queen He issued an edict to let He Jin enter the palace, and when He Jin had to enter the palace, he still brought Yuan Shao and others to prevent accidents, but when he arrived at the gate of the palace, he was stopped by the guards, saying that he was just letting He Jin go in alone, Yuan Shao and others did not agree, but He Jin did not listen, and finally entered the palace alone.
As a result, as soon as he arrived in the depths of the palace, all the doors of the palace were immediately closed, He Jin was still looking left and right there, and countless soldiers and horses had poured out all around.
Yuan Shao waited outside for a night, and they didn't see He Jin come back, and at this moment everyone realized that He Jin was definitely in trouble.
If you say that some old ministers still have a lot of concerns in the face of this kind of thing, but people like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are all young people with tempers, so they don't care so much, they have soldiers and horses in their hands, and they directly transferred their soldiers and horses to attack the palace.
Cao Cao and others worked hard to command below, and the soldiers and horses below were also gathering more and more, after all, Luoyang was almost equipped with about 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Looking at the changes in the situation, Zhang Rang Zhao and others, who were standing at the head of the city, were also anxious at the moment, Zhao Zhong and several other eunuchs were completely panicked, and asked Zhang Rang with a crying voice, what should I do now?
After all, the palace is closed, there are not many soldiers and horses inside, and Yuan Shao and others are constantly sending troops outside, so if the palace goes on sooner or later, the palace will be attacked sooner or later, Zhang Rang looked at such a scene, and also gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "Okay, since this group of people who think they are high have to force us into a dead end, let everyone burn the jade together, you hurry up and catch the emperor, the queen, and a king Chen Liu, they are the last hole cards in our hands!" ”
Zhao Zhong and the others didn't dare to slack off when they heard this, and hurriedly followed Zhang Rang's words, and Zhang Rang first resisted on the city for a while, and saw that he couldn't stop it, so he quietly slipped down the city and gathered together with Zhao Zhong and others.
Zhang Rang asked Zhao Zhong what was going on, and Zhao Zhong said to Zhang Rang with an innocent face that when they were arresting the queen, the queen's resistance was too great, and she didn't catch the queen for a while and ran away.
When Zhang Rang heard this, he scolded Zhao Zhong and the others for being all waste, but this was not the time to talk about this, so he couldn't care so much, and fled directly with people in one direction.
And at this moment, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, who were storming the city, also noticed that something was wrong, because they didn't see Zhang Rang's people anymore, and they could only say that Zhang Rang had retreated.
