In Xuchang City, after the news of Cao Cao's defeat came, the court immediately boiled, up to the civil and military officials, down to the ordinary people, all of them exchanged heads and ears, talked about a lot, and all kinds of gossip flew all over the sky, making people's hearts panic!
"Have you heard, Prime Minister Cao Cheng fought a big defeat in Wancheng, and even the eldest prince Cao Ang was killed, and more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded......
"It's not just more than half of the dead and wounded, it's just ten deaths**, even the Shuishui River is stained red with blood, and the floating dense bodies on it are full of dead corpses, I heard that the prime minister has several arrows in his body, lost too much blood, and is already dying!"
"You don't know yet, I heard that on the way back, all the soldiers of the army are sketches, and they are carrying a mahogany coffin, if the prime minister is safe and sound, what are they carrying the coffin, there is a ...... out of ten, I'm afraid it is...... You know~~"
"Shhh …… Brother Ren is reasonable, if the prime minister has a mis......, I am afraid that the court will change the sky, I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground~~"
…………………………………………………………
The most powerful thing about rumors is that they can expand indefinitely, the more they spread, the more true they become, the more evil they become, and in the end, even the 'rumors' believe that they are true, and an ordinary embroidery needle can also be blown into a white jade pillar by them!
Now the latest version of the rumor is: Prime Minister Cao Cheng on the way back to the army, arrow sores cracked, excessive blood loss, has died, the metropolitan governor Xiao Yi is not lost, in order to cover up the smell of the corpse, but also follow the example of Zhao Gao at the end of the Qin Dynasty, carried a lot of stinky fish and rotten shrimp in the army, all the way to Xuchang smelly, and then will mutiny to seize power, take charge of the world......
Under the crowd, the civil and military officials can't sit steadily, some people are sad, some people are happy, and some people are connected up and down, ready to move, and an earth-shattering change is just around the corner!
In the anxious anticipation of countless people, the army that went out finally returned, and when they got the news, they almost dispatched to the Chinese military officials, gathered at the city gate to wait for Lord Chengxiang's car, and even the little emperor Liu Xie also sent his henchmen and eunuchs to listen to the truth!
Everyone stretched their necks and widened their eyes, just to see if this prime minister was alive? Or die?
Life, the world is peaceful!
Die, the sky is falling!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Report ~ Prime Minister, all the officials of the DPRK and China have come out of the city to greet the car!" There are reconnaissance rangers who immediately report the situation back to the army, the level of detail, and the reconnaissance of the enemy camp is no different, the governor has already ordered, this is a different kind of battle, although the sword soldiers are not used, but it is more thrilling!
"Hehe, go out of the city to greet you? They want to see the life and death of the old man, right? After a few days of recuperation, Cao Cao's condition is gradually recovering, and he is able to sit up and have a short conversation, but it is still difficult to move, let alone ride a horse!
Looking at the city of Xuchang that was close at hand, Cao Cao didn't want to lie on the soft couch and be carried in, when the army went out, how high-spirited he was, and now that the army has returned from defeat, does it make the civil and military officials laugh?
"No, it must not, even if he suffers a defeat, even if he is wounded by an arrow, the old man must let the world see it, Cao Mengde, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty...... It's still majestic! ”
Cao Cao said his thoughts and the literature and martial arts around him, although Guo Jia and Xiao Yi looked embarrassed, but they still nodded and agreed, after getting along for many years, they all know that this prime minister has a resolute personality and never succumbs to difficulties, and he will definitely not turn back when he decides to come down, even if he hits the south wall, he will be in one go and collapse the wall!
Besides, the people in the court are panicking, and those loyal ministers of the Han family are even more ready to move, ready to set off a monstrous storm at any time, and now the best way is to let Cao Cao enter the city in a bright and bright way, show his majesty, shock people's hearts, and control the situation!
It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, with Cao Cao's current physical condition, it's very difficult to even walk, not to mention the prancing horse whip, majestically entering Xuchang City, you can't let people support you left and right, isn't that not self-recruiting?
"What to do? How is it good? ”
Everyone's eyes are all focused on Xiao Yi, 'If you have a problem, find Xiao Lang', this has become common sense, who called the camp of civil and military affairs, he has the most ghost ideas, and the people are the most 'bad'?
Carrying a thousand pounds of heavy burden, at the critical moment, Xiao Yi naturally couldn't have stage fright, squatted on the ground, touched his little black face, and began to meditate and think about it, no way, this is a habitual action, otherwise inspiration will not pop out!
"Come on, invite Mr. Hua Tuo, take the battle robe and armor, dress for the Prime Minister, and let's enter Xuchang City majestically!" The name of Ghost Face Xiao Lang is not called in vain, there is definitely impatience and strategic deception at critical moments, that is our specialty!
Battle robes, armor, combat boots, swords, ......, a full set of military uniforms are the same, the 'claw Huang Feidian' was also brought over, Cao Cao had two good horses, the battle of Wancheng, the 'Absolute Shadow' died under the arrows, this 'claw Huang Feidian' was originally given to Cao Ang, life and death, and let Cao Cao ride, with unparalleled foot strength, this is all the way to escape from the danger!
Xiao Yi, Guo Jia, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and others worked together to help Cao Cao up, put on his battle robe, put on armor, and stepped on his sword.
At this time, Hua Tuo also came, Xiao Yi hurriedly greeted him, first said 'hard work', and whispered a few words in his ear, the miracle doctor frowned slightly, looked at Xuchang City, and then looked at Cao Cao's pleading look, and finally nodded and agreed, the doctor's magic technique, which was originally to save lives and help the wounded, is now used to deceive people, it is really ...... Ay!
Looking at this miracle doctor again, he reached out and pulled out a few silver needles from his sleeve, came to Cao Cao's approach, and inserted several acupuncture points in his body as fast as lightning, and then took his pulse, nodded slightly, and stepped aside!
Everyone didn't know why, and they didn't dare to ask, so they had to wait obediently, and after a while, Cao Cao's body changed, and his originally paralyzed body gradually sat straight, and his limbs no longer trembled, and with the golden helmet and golden armor, he was majestic, and it was no different from when he used to divide troops and send generals in the big tent!
It turned out that Xiao Yi knew that Hua Tuo had a magical acupuncture technique, and his method was to seal several acupoints on Cao Cao's body with silver needles, and if the blood was blocked, his body would become stiff, so he naturally stood up the armor, which looked no different from ordinary people!
Then everyone lifted the stiff Cao Cao on horseback, Xiao Yi was not at ease, stretched out his hand, and hugged Cao Zhi as well, and put it in Cao Cao's arms, if others rode with the Prime Minister, it would be a big disrespect, and it was easy to see the problem, Cao Zhi was fine, he sat on horseback, and the civil and military officials would only think that the Prime Minister favored the young son, but they would not be suspicious!
Father and son ride together, Cao Cao is equivalent to having a reliance, so as not to tilt his body and expose flaws, and at the same time, Cao Zhi can also grab the reins of the horse and control the advance and retreat of the war horse for his father.
"Beat the drum name, the army will be pulled out, and escort the prime minister into the city!" Xiao Yi naturally couldn't be idle, the prancing horse followed aside, holding a sword, acting as a guard!
"Woohoo! ~~Whining! ~~ Knock knock! ”
The horn sounded, the war drums shook the sky, and the road was opened by three thousand Xuanjia iron horses, and Cao Cao walked majestically towards the city gate under the support of a group of generals!
"Greetings to the Prime Minister!"
"Greetings to the Prime Minister!"
The hundred officials of the court were already waiting at the gate of the city, and when they saw Cao Cao's mount appear, they hurriedly bowed and saluted, and at the same time did not forget to squint their eyes and peek up and down, what happened to this prime minister?
As a result, they were blinded by countless eyes, and what they saw was that Cao Cao was sitting majestically on horseback, full of red light, full of energy, and still holding his beloved son Cao Zhi in his arms, without any traces of injury, two majestic eyes swept over, cold air, penetrating human bone marrow, and scared the officials into a cold sweat!
"Hell, who spread the rumor that the Prime Minister was dying of arrow sores and bones, looking like this, it looks like there is an injury there, and he is even more energetic than when he went out on the expedition?"
was also a little unwilling, opened his eyes and carefully examined Cao Cao's body, hoping to find out a little flaw, Liu Bang was injured by Chu Jun's arrow cluster back then, and he also pretended to be casual, and he also deceived Xiang Yu and stabilized the army's heart, who knows if Cao Cao is also playing this hand?
It's a pity that they are destined to be disappointed, only to see Cao Cao sitting on horseback, not moving at all, there is no trace of trembling hands and feet, this is by no means something that a person with an arrow wound can do, could it be that the news is wrong, the injury is a trick played by this traitorous male, used to confuse the world, this is his style of acting!
"The Prime Minister has worked hard all the way, and I haven't seen the officials for many days, and I miss it very much in my heart, please ......" Some people still don't give up, take a few steps forward, trying to get close and see clearly, it's best to pull Cao Cao off the horse, everything will be clear!
Xiao Yi naturally wouldn't let them get close, as soon as he urged the mount, he immediately greeted them, and looked at those people murderously, "Your Excellency is here, but to welcome the Governor of Pontus, so gracious, you have to be more intimate in the future!" ”
"The Governor is doing well,...... Can't! Can't! "Who dares to get close to this 'killing god', those Hanchen hurriedly retreated, in case they are targeted by 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', I am afraid that their lives will be difficult to protect!
In this way, under the escort of Xiao Yi, the father and son of the Cao family rode into the city together, and entered the prime minister's mansion in a mighty way, and a storm in the sky was finally resolved into invisibility!
