Chapter 16 Can You Afford It?

"There are only two commanders who can fight in the unified army, Wang Wei and Xiahoulan, and at most Han Zhong and Liu Pi are counted."

Cao Xing looked down at what the audience was saying, silently admitted, and did not refute, annoyed and other negative emotions, and nodded secretly in his heart.

When the stick is struck, the red dates have to follow closely behind.

"Gentlemen! The road is long, I hope you will learn more together, and at the same time, please pay more attention to the talents of each battalion, those who are virtuous and adopted, give 100 acres of land, and those who reuse will give 500 fields! ”

"No!" The generals answered with a loud voice.

Cao Xing pointed to the barracks where Dong Zhuo was located: "General Dong was arrested and imprisoned, and he went back with his subordinates, but the army of 50,000 Xiliang is still there, Kansai is poor, and it has been fighting for many years, it is the place where the generals gather, only talent, principle, I agree to join our army, transfer procedures and other matters, I will deal with it, and!" ”

Cao Xuan turned around and sat on the main seat, pressed the copywriting with both hands, and smiled slightly: "The reward is still the same!" ”

"No!"

--

Huangfu Song, the head of the three generals at the end of the Han Dynasty, led the army south to Guangzong, Zhang Liang had many soldiers, and there were 2,000 elite Yellow Turban wrestlers.

Before the siege of Huangfu Song was successful, he closed the camp and retired to observe the changes, and waited until Zhang Liang was confused and relaxed his vigilance.

Huangfu Song immediately took advantage of the night to transfer troops, taking advantage of the darkness at dawn as a cover, and at dawn, rushed into his formation, and the unorganized Yellow Turban Army hastily responded to the battle.

Zhang Liang was killed in battle, more than 30,000 people were killed, and more than 50,000 pious Yellow Turban troops preferred to throw themselves into the river rather than agree with Cao Xing's surrender.

Looking at the river that was cut off, the Yellow Turban Army who were dying and struggling in the water, Cao Xing stood on the riverbank, his eyes were empty, and he shouted: "Save people!" Everyone, save people! ”

After shouting, he took off his armor and jumped into the river, pulling a young man who was no more than fifteen years old to swim to the shore, but the young man struggled desperately and was unwilling to cooperate.

"Wu Peng! Protect the General! Lei Gong and Wang Xiao, who don't know water, were so anxious that they jumped to their feet.

Wu Peng took Fu Tao, Zhang Bao and others, and there were not many of them, and Cao Xing's subordinates who knew how to water jumped in one by one.

"Puff~Puff~"

Stir up bursts of waves, but the river is too fast, basically the yellow scarf of the northerners, the good water is scarce, and many sink to the bottom of the river.

On the riverbank, Wang Wei arranged for his subordinates to search everywhere for rafts of boats, even for a single plank.

Cao Xuan was busy and tired, and he was tired, but he only saved three people.

The number of people rescued by the entire Cao army was only 5,000, and they watched them escape from death.

Looking at the five thousand yellow scarves with a blank face, Cao Xing, who was desperately breathing and relieving himself a little, kicked on the body of a yellow scarf general dressed as an officer, and said with hatred: "Why is this so?" Worthy of your parents, worthy of your wife, son and daughter? ”

The yellow scarf general climbed up, looked at Cao Xuan with red eyes, the scars in his heart were fiercely exposed, bared his teeth, and made a shrill voice:

"In the first year of Xiping, there was a great drought in my hometown, there was no harvest, and Ah Weng's mother starved to death."

The yellow scarf choked up in a tone, like a few treasures:

"In the fifth year of Xiping, in order to eat, a son and a daughter, the daughter who was only ten years old was sold to Haoqiang as a concubine, and I was castrated by myself and entered the inner palace.

After a few years and countless hardships, he finally rose from a miscellaneous servant to the Zhonghuangmen of a hundred stones, and returned to his hometown with a large amount of food, clothing, and brocade.

The home is in ruins.

It turned out that in the second year of Guanghe, the bandits entered the village, and the young son was brutally killed when the bandits attacked the village, and his wife was humiliated to death.

Not long after, the news came that the eldest daughter was broken by his wife, thrown out of the house, and froze to death on the street. ”

The Yellow Turban General, dancing with his hands, tears like a waterfall, whether the audience is the Yellow Turban or Cao Jun, the listeners are all emotionally infected, thinking about their similar encounters, many people clenched their fists.

The more the Yellow Turban General spoke, the more angry he became, the more excited he became, and his voice changed from a murmur to a roar: "I went to the Haoqiang family theory, was seriously injured by a stick, threw it on the street, and was about to die." ”

Speaking of this, the Yellow Turban will put away his tears and look at the river that flooded the 50,000 Yellow Turbans: "In the most desperate time, it was the Taiping Road Goat Dao Master who happened to pass by to save me, and took good care of me, so that I was able to survive. ”

After speaking, while Cao Xuan was in a daze, he ran towards the river: "Goat Daoist, you wait for me, the crippled Han Ji is looking for you." ”

The surrounding Yellow Turbans saw that the Yellow Turbans would seek death again, and many people got up and rushed to the river.

Cao Xing quickly stepped forward and hugged one, shouting: "Stop them!" ”

Cao Jun rushed up and grabbed the yellow scarf who was looking for death.

Cao Xuan looked at the slowly setting sun, and with an expressionless face, he ordered Wang Xiao to take care of the five thousand yellow scarves, and at the same time salvage the bodies of the yellow turbans and bury them collectively.

Walking alone with the river, Wu Peng, Zhang Leigong, Wang Wei, Liu Bi, Huangfu Li, Xiahoulan and other generals were one step behind him and silently accompanied.

When night fell, the torch was lit and slowly burned out, and then a new torch was lit, and so on, until the sky was dewy and the fish were white, Cao Xing opened his mouth and made a hoarse voice: "I'd rather bear the world!" Don't let the world bear me! ”

Suddenly, the resounding voice of Huangfu Song came from the right hand direction: "There are so many people in the world, can you afford it?" ”

The depressed Cao Xing seemed to have met a savior, his eyes pleaded, and he looked at Huangfu Song: "Teacher, when are you here?" ”

"Humph! Without vigilance, how to behave! Huangfu Song's tone was full of dissatisfaction and sternness, but he did not forget to point.

"General Huangfu has been walking with you all night." Wang Wei reminded in due course.

Cao Xing's face was surprised, and he looked at Huangfu Song, and his face was moved.

Huangfu Song slapped Cao Xuan on the shoulder, and the giant force made Cao Xing, who was physically and mentally exhausted, and Cao Xuan, who was unguarded, almost fell to the ground.

Huangfu Song looked even more angry, with a straight face, and unceremoniously trained: "Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world!" Where do you live now? ”

Huangfu Song's words were like an initiation, which woke up Cao Xing.

"That's what the teacher taught."

Abandoning baldness and hesitation, his face was more resolute than before, Cao Xing's right hand was raised in a fist, and he said word by word:

"There are thousands of people in the world, but, the wind knows the strength of the grass, this burden, I resisted, and worked hard."

The tone is heroic.

"Good! And me! An impassioned shout.

Cao Xuan heard this familiar and worried voice for a long time, as if he saw the lover in his dream suddenly arrive, and looked at each other with golden flowers in his eyes: "Shuzhi, when did you arrive, why didn't you notify in advance, I will greet you!" ”

Wang Xiu's face flushed with excitement, and he did not hide it, and said directly: "It has been a long time, and I secretly inquired and found that the general was rebelling against the position of the captain, but he was so ambitious and expanded the army by 50,000, so he couldn't help but hesitate and stayed in the general recruitment of Huangfu as a guest." ”

was frustrated again by this pain point, and Cao Xuan said that he was suffering.

Wang Xiu shook his long sleeves and bowed: "Now that I see the general's benevolent and righteous side, I have made up my mind to worship the general!" ”
