Chapter 166: Opponents
"Hahahaha. Good! Very good! I didn't expect Bufan and Cao to think of it together! I want to do this with you more than to be this righteous brother..."
Cao Cao said at the end, suddenly stopped his voice and opened his mouth.
And almost at the same time. Cao Cao and Wen Han said a term in their hearts.
"Opponent!"
Cao Cao and Wen Han had a very complicated relationship, but at this moment, the two finally confirmed each other's thoughts. In fact, Wen Han didn't have this idea of being self-conscious at first.
What kind of character is Cao Cao? Assassinated Dong Zhuo alone, issued a document to discuss Dong, and organized the princes of the world to discuss Dong Zhuo. Later, the Son of Heaven coerced the princes to capture the unparalleled Lu Bu in the world, and the White Horse Guandu defeated Yuan Benchu, who had millions of soldiers and horses, and unified the north, etc., all show that Cao Cao was the most brilliant and powerful figure in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It can even be said that no one can compete with him.
And Wen Han is just a descendant who has traveled through time, how could he dare to be an opponent with such a character. However, the more he came into contact with Cao Cao, the more he found that Cao Cao's feelings for him, in addition to brotherhood, were more of an expectation, an expectation of wanting to fight him in the future.
This expectation is so deep that Wen Han can feel it very clearly whenever he makes eye contact with Cao Cao. Wen Han has never responded positively to Cao Cao's expectations, and he hopes to maintain this close friend relationship with Cao Cao.
But the more time he spent with Cao Cao, the more he realized that his ideas were too egotistical. Especially after he made great achievements to defeat Qiang Hu and returned, Wen Han found that the expectation in Cao Cao's eyes became more enthusiastic and urgent.
At this point, Wen Han finally understood that he and Cao Cao were destined to become rivals. Cao Cao, once he decides his thoughts, no one can change them. Just like in history, when he was at the height of his power, the Han court at that time was already an empty shell, and everyone understood that the world already belonged to Cao Cao, the Han minister.
The people under Cao Cao's command, including the hundred officials of the imperial court, begged him to depose the emperor of the Han dynasty and let him Cao Cao be the lord of the world. However, Cao Cao refused anyway. Although he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes and made the majesty of the Han family lose everything, he was always unwilling to abolish the emperor and ascend to the throne.
Why is Cao Cao so stubborn? It is because the idea that he is Hanchen has long been ingrained, and he does not want to be this rebellious minister. The reason why he wanted to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes was because Emperor Han Xian was young and had the name of the Son of Heaven, but he had no soldiers and no wealth, how could he subdue the princes who were like wolves and tigers.
Therefore, Cao Cao borrowed his name as the Son of Heaven to do what he couldn't do for Emperor Han Xian, and in the end Cao Cao really pacified most of the world. But he also ended up with a thief who made trouble for the society.
Cao Cao disdained this infamy, and went to serve the court according to his own ideas, and continued to conquer all the princes. In Wen Han's mind, Cao Cao is more loyal to the Han family than Liu Bei, who always mutters about recovering the Han Dynasty!
Wen Han is a later generation, and the description of Cao Cao from the history books makes him have a little understanding of Cao Cao's temperament and style of doing things. And then there's the contact.
Wen Han understood that his idea of Cao Cao becoming an opponent with himself would not change no matter what. Therefore, Wen Han finally responded to Cao Cao's expectations.
Wen Han was tidying up his official uniform, which was brought by a eunuch in the palace three days ago, so that Wen Han could wear a good face today. Wen Han's eyes straightened, Zhou Long muttered so many words just now, but he didn't listen to a word, he was thinking back to the scene when he confirmed his thoughts with Cao Cao a few days ago.
"Third brother? Third brother! What's wrong with you? It's almost time to go to the court, but the spirit is not concentrated, if you still look like this in front of the saint, you will definitely be criticized! ”
Zhou Long ignored Xu Huang's protest on the side, and chattered like a sparrow that would not stop, Xu Huang rolled his eyes wildly, Guan Yu shook his head with a smile and said nothing, he was used to Zhou Long's overly worried character.
Zhou Long walked to the table, picked up the kettle and poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Wen Han.
"Come, this tea is freshly boiled by the eldest brother, the water is warm, and the third brother you drink it to refresh your spirits."
Wen Han took the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and then smiled faintly at Zhou Long. For some reason, Zhou Long's nagging made Wen Han very relieved.
"Haha, extraordinary. Can you be ready? The carriage had been waiting outside the house for a long time. ”
At this time, Cao Cao walked in with a smile on his face, he was wearing a majestic official uniform, which at first glance was a little domineering. It seems that he was born to wear this kind of official costume.
"You're ready to go."
"Good! So what are I waiting for, walking. ”
Cao Cao seemed to be in high spirits, and his face kept smiling. After Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang said goodbye to Zhou Long, they walked out of Cao's mansion with Cao Cao and got into the carriage amid Zhou Long's seemingly never-ending chatter. There were talks and laughs all the way, and they came to the Luoyang Palace.
In the palace, Wende Hall is still **, but the anxiety on the faces of the hundreds of officials in the court makes Wende Hall look a little flustered.
In Zhang Rang's sharp and harsh voice, Emperor Han Ling appeared in front of the hundred officials of the court, his face was paler than before, but as a son of heaven, he still beat his spirit, his brain was tense, and he tried his best to look like an emperor domineering, and Long Xiang walked to the dragon chair with great steps.
"Long live our emperor! Hooray!! ”
"Excuse me! The family is flat! ”
"Emperor Xiewu!!"
After the salute was over, the hundred officials stood up one after another, and Emperor Han Ling squinted his eyes and said in a gloomy manner.
"In recent days, the thieves have become more and more rampant, there are four or five hundred thousand, and the war in the twenty-eight counties of seven states in the Han world is urgent. In order to curb the spread of thieves, I ordered Lu Zhi to send troops on the same day to fight the thieves in Jizhou. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun each led an army to defeat the Yellow Turban Army led by Bocai and Peng Tuo in the Yingchuan area.
At the same time, I want to form eight elite soldiers and horses as the eight captains of the West Garden, fight against the thieves, and raise the prestige of the imperial court. I will give all the support to these eight soldiers and horses, whether it is human or financial resources, and each soldier must be able to fight three enemies with one enemy, and be equipped with the most sophisticated equipment.
I want to make them the eight most powerful soldiers and horses in the world! ”
After Emperor Han Ling finished speaking, the hundred officials in the court were in an uproar, all of them widened their eyes, looking around and handing over to the people around them. All funded! The eight most powerful soldiers and horses in the world! These words constantly vibrated violently in the minds of these Han officials, so that they could not come back to their senses for a while.
"Little Huangmen Jian Shuo is a military captain!"
"Hu Ben Zhonglang will make Yuan Shao a lieutenant of the middle army!"
"Tun Cavalry Captain Bao is the next military captain!"
"Lang Cao Cao is a military captain!"
"Left Cavalry Captain Zhao Rong is the Commander of the Left Army!"
"Right Cavalry Captain Feng Fang is the right colonel of the auxiliary army!"
"Counsel Doctor Xia Mu to be the Captain of the Left!"
"Jun Sima Wenhan!!"
Wen Han was underneath, secretly listening to Emperor Han Ling report the names of the eight captains of the West Garden recorded in history one by one. According to historical records, the original formation of the eight captains of the West Garden was the military power of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty as the general He Jin. But now it has changed its meaning, and Emperor Ling of Han wants to build it into the eight most powerful soldiers and horses in the world. There is a great sense of taking it as a means of expressing the authority of the imperial power and the face of the royal family.
"Could it be that my arrival changed history?"
Wen Han just scolded in his heart, and suddenly heard Emperor Han Ling call out his name, and hurriedly looked up, just in time to meet Emperor Han Ling's eyes, Emperor Han Ling smiled with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"For the right lieutenant!"
As soon as Emperor Han Ling's words fell, many officials in the court suddenly turned their attention to Wen Han, a young man who had gone through twists and turns and finally broke out of his cocoon into a butterfly. From the beginning, he was regarded as cannon fodder to die, and made great achievements, but he was told that he was all over the body, and then he was on the surface of his identity, and he was about to become famous, and when he was sealed, he was murdered by Jianchen villain, saying that he colluded with foreign races and committed treason.
Along the way, this young man walked hard. Many officials sighed in their hearts, and of course, there were some people who were secretly angry, and seemed to be very incredulous that Wen Han could become one of the eight captains of the West Garden.
According to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, this will become the eight most powerful soldiers and horses in the world, and it is likely to become an existence representing the authority of the royal family in the future. In this case, shouldn't this be a person with a noble bloodline and a wealthy family to be a general? Is this article extraordinary?
"Thank you, Lord Long!!"
The eight people whose names were named by Emperor Han Ling walked out one after another and knelt in front of Emperor Han Ling to thank him. And Yuan Shao and Jian Shuo, who were kneeling in front of them, looked at each other while opening their mouths to thank them, and both of them showed a look of disgruntle and disgusting in their eyes, of course, this look would not be the other party who looked at each other.
As for to whom? When Yuan Shao and Jian Shuo stood up and glanced at Wen Han in the rear, this look became particularly intense. The intensity of his eyes was so intense that even Cao Cao on the side could clearly feel it.
Cao Cao frowned and shook his head secretly, these two people are really like vicious dogs haunted by Wen Bufan, and they can't let go.
