Chapter 301: Road Sacrifice

As the emperor of the empire, Liu Ze was entangled in everything, and it was impossible for him to rush to Qian County to worship Cao Cao. Cao Cao's coffin returned, must go to Chang'an, into Luoyang, and then into Yuzhou, back to Peiguo County, Liu Ze chose to sacrifice on Luoyang Road, one is Luoyang as the capital of the Han Dynasty, the location is prominent, needless to say, the second is from Beijing to Luoyang is also more convenient, can shorten the trip, save time.

Liu Ze calculated the time and decided to use Xu Shu's son Xu Kuo to rush to Tianzhu to replace Cao Ang, and a large number of students trained by Xiangping Military Academy were used to take over the vacant positions of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan, arrange all this, leave Liu Zhen in the capital, and lead Cheng Yu and others to Luoyang.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi set off first with Lao Cao's wives after receiving the message, this is the Cao family's family matter, and it is normal to rush to Qian County in advance.

When Liu Ze came to Luoyang, Cao Cao's coffin had already passed through Gucheng and was coming to Luoyang. Liu Ze couldn't take a break, so he rushed to the west gate of Luoyang early to wait for the arrival of Cao Cao's coffin.

It was nearly noon, on the avenue west of Luoyang City, a column of people and horses flocked to the road, and it was Cao Zhang's car that walked in the front, with a huge coffin on the car, and a wooden strip in front of the coffin, which read: The spiritual seat of the ancestor Cao Gong. Cao Zhang's whole body was snow-white, with a plain silk on his forehead, and his face was sad.

When Liu Ze saw it, he couldn't suppress it, he sobbed, strode forward, held Cao Cao's coffin, and shouted loudly: "Brother Mengde, God is pitiful, I can't let you and my brother see the last face, how cruel." With that, he took a few steps back, crouched in front of the car, and wept bitterly.

Cao Zhang saw that the emperor was crying and mourning, and he was inexplicably moved, jumped out of the car, and crouched on the side of the road. Liu Ze cried three times, looked up at the coffin, wept, and said loudly: "Brother Meng De, you and I know each other in Weiwei, we have a heart-to-heart relationship, and we take care of each other. Who can trust you? Thinking about the past, Luoyang meets, and the demeanor of the king is heartbreaking; Since childhood, righteousness, crisscrossing the Kanto, and Changbai County Lieutenant, the five-color stick is powerful, whipping the uncle of Jian Shuo, the realm is solemn, and the Son of Heaven has heard of the great name; After moving to Dunqiu, Ren Xian was able, and the people of the county felt great; encountered the Yellow Turban Rebellion, drove the rebellious people, returned to the court, the Son of Heaven Long Yan Xi, commissioned the monarch Jinan Minister, and acted treacherously; Dong thief chaotic government, wielding a knife and being angry, hating the thief head, hesitating to gather volunteers, galloping to tell the world, heroes will be Xingyang, three battles tiger prison, the army entered Luoyang, Kang Yi led the army, and folded the halberd under the Han Valley; So far, I learned that how many people are loyal? It is difficult to support alone, when you return to wait for the sky, the net is exhausted, the bear is for the drive, and the party raises his eyebrows and competes for the east of Luoyang. The second Yuan lost his conscience, successively practiced the throne, heard about the shooting, and the army rushed to Luoyang. The group of uglies swept away the wind and quiet, how many people are loyal in the world? never forget the loyal Han room, run for the country without regard for himself, go deep into the chaos of Mao Jing, and go on an expedition to the Shan country to play a triumphant song; The handsome army marched west into the rivers and lakes, and Tianzhu fought the world in peace; He worked tirelessly to go to Guishan and pacify Persia Jianqixun. The mountains and rivers are also gone in spring, you and my brother are true bosom friends, the child period is not in the piano sound, who is to listen to the broken strings? Mourning Jun knows all over the world, how many confidants are there so far? Woohoo Mengde, why is it too early to go? Woohoo sky, why not take a holiday? Brother Mengde, go all the way, may you be in the sky, and look at the big Han Erlang, sweep the world, and reach the unfinished business of Brother Meng. Woohoo mourning, Fu Wei is still feasting. ”

Liu Ze said that, and wept again, and the three armies all shed tears when they heard it. Cheng Yu saw Liu Ze's deep affection, and knew that his friendship with Cao Cao was not covered, the two knew each other, heroes cherished heroes, and they both understood each other's ambitions, but unfortunately Cao Cao made a wrong step and fell into Liu Ze's encirclement, and under the hopeless conflict, he decisively surrendered, what kind of courage and courage does this need? Thinking of himself and Cao Cao in the past, they were high-spirited, vertical and horizontal, Xu Erzhou, who in the world can compete with them? If you stick to the land of Yanxu and Henan, fight hard, and develop people's livelihood, the trend of the world is not yet known, but time has passed, and the past is gone, and you can't look back.

Cheng Yu walked to Liu Ze's side, stretched out his hand to hold Liu Ze and said, "Meng De has passed away and cannot be resurrected, please ask the emperor to mourn." ”

Liu Ze's eyes were red, he looked at Cao Zhang, who had already stood up, and said, "Ziwen, before Brother Meng De leaves, is there anything unfinished?" ”

Cao Zhang sobbed and said: "Before my father died, I climbed the jade gate and closed the wall, looked at the Western Regions, and only said three words, I hate it. ”

Liu Ze said: "The great cause is unfinished, the hero is in the twilight, and Brother Meng De is eager to show his ambitions." ”

Cheng Yu said: "Yes, Meng De has been willing to learn from Huo Huqi all his life, expel Hu Lu, and appease the territory of the Han Dynasty, but now Rome is unsettled and riddled with diseases, once he enters the Jade Gate, he must not return to a foreign land, and he can't ask for anything in his heart, how can he have no hatred?" ”

Liu Ze said to Cao Zhang: "Ziwen carefully helped the coffin to return to his hometown, I have written to the local officials of Peiguo and Qiaoxian County, and tried my best to cooperate so that Brother Meng De can be buried in peace." In all the Han lands, the flag was lowered at half-mast in the army to mourn the common sorrow of the world. ”

Cao Zhang knelt on the ground to thank him, and Liu Ze grabbed him and said: "Er's father's talent, unparalleled in the world, Wang'er and others inherit his father's business, and after keeping filial piety, he will contribute to the country as soon as possible and live up to his father's teachings." ”

What else can Cao Zhang say, the four brothers of the Cao family are in high positions one by one, and even Cao Zhi, who only knows how to make the wind and the moon all day long, is also a scholar of the dynasty, not to mention the eldest brother Cao Ang, an absolute member of the frontier, this kind of glory, looking at the big man, how many can there be?

Liu Zemu saw Cao Zhang and his entourage, gradually drifted away, and said in a hoarse voice: "Return to Beijing, I hope to settle in Heyang City tonight." ”

Cao Cao died, and later generations have an ancient style that praises Cao Cao's life:

There have always been different opinions of loyalty and treachery, and the clouds and fog have been removed to distinguish the false from the true. Yuan Shao is very bold and bold, and he still wants to be a jade; The heroes drink Luoyang City, and there is only Meng De chasing people. The battle is all for himself, who really only serves the people? The white bones are exposed and the wild mourns, and the thousands of miles of chickens cry and sigh for the world; The old man is a thousand miles away, and the martyr is a strong man in his twilight years. His life is only for the great Hanchen, and there is no longer any ambition in his heart. The battle of thousands of miles is tireless, and the hero sighs and hates. Although the sun rises at sunset, the heroic name is new.

Cao Cao's coffin came to his hometown in Qian County, and the villagers and elders of the county came to mourn, and everyone wept and wept one by one. Cao Zhang, who had only one person by the coffin, as the son of the deceased, was undecided all the way.

When he arrived at his hometown, Cao Ang did not return, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi led the Cao clan to welcome the coffin and settle in his hometown. After waiting for more than half a month, Cao Ang had to return, just entered the door, mourned and wept, knocked on the ground with his head, his forehead was bleeding, and the elders of the clan hurriedly supported Cao Ang, for fear that he would have another good one.

The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety and respected filial piety, so the stories of filial sons and daughters have been circulated. Cao Cao's martial arts are not far behind, he has studied the scriptures since he was a child, and his understanding of filial piety is also outstanding.
