Chapter 398, Cao Cao's Order
Recently, Cao Cao has been leading the army to fight outside, since getting rid of Ma Teng, the Yellow Turban bandits who are active in the vicinity have also been completely eliminated, in fact, Cao Cao personally commanded the troops, the purpose is not only to deal with those thieves and grass robbers, the most important thing is to lure the snake out of the hole, so that those ill-intentioned and even ready to move the old ministers of the Han family take the initiative to jump out, sure enough, in the days when Cao Cao sent troops, the Han Chen led by Yang Biao, the captain, once again instigated civil strife, fortunately, all this, Guo Jia had already prepared.
When Cao Cao led his troops back to the city, except for Yang Biao, all those who participated in the rebellion were beheaded at the entrance of the noon gate vegetable market.
As for the mastermind Yang Biao, he was tortured by Man Chong and almost beat him to death, but Man Chong tried his best and did not pry Yang Biao's mouth open.
Under the persuasion of Xun Yu, Yang Biao was demoted from Beijing, and he saved his life, after all, Yang Biao was an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he was quite prestigious in the court, and Cao Cao did not dare to go too far.
According to historical records, since Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven, although the forces around Liu Xie were weak and vulnerable, the previous battles between these two people have never stopped, and the civil strife instigated by Hanchen alone has not been as many as several times.
Cao Cao listened to the report of the full favor, and nodded with satisfaction, "In this way, from now on, the use in the palace will be reduced by one percent again." ”
Guo Jia, Man Chong, Cheng Yu, Xun You, these people have no objections, but Xun Yu, his brows are tightly locked, and his face shows a trace of sadness, but it is fleeting and unnoticed.
Cao Cao, in order to completely 'tame' the emperor, repeatedly withheld the money and food of the palace, although every time he could find many high-sounding reasons, but, after all, it was the Son of Heaven today, and he was like a beggar who asked for food, so Xun Yu was very dissatisfied in his heart, but all this, Xun Yu not only couldn't stop it, but even, sometimes, he was still on Cao Cao's side of the 'accomplice'.
Although he was very sympathetic and angry, he had always supported Cao Cao and never raised any objections.
"Lord, Taiwei Yang Biao, although the lord is extraordinarily kind, but there will still be rumors that are not good for the initiative, it is better to be like this, I heard that Yang Xiu is well-read, is a material that can be made, why not recruit him to his side, in this way, in the eyes of the world, it will definitely help the prestige of the lord, Yang Biao rebelled, the lord not only did not kill him, but also entrusted his son to reuse, which shows that the lord is broad-minded and has a large number of people."
Cao Cao nodded: "What Feng Xiao said is very true. Cao Cao immediately recruited Yang Xiu to enter Beijing, in addition, he suddenly remembered Sima Yi in his mind, and also sent someone to Wen County, Sima Yi's reply soon arrived, Sima Yi replied, euphemistically rejected this matter, he said in the letter, he was young and shallow, lack of ability, afraid of Cao Cao's trust, shameful laughter, shame on the family!
At this time, Sima Yi was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and this matter was over, but as long as he thought of Sima Yi, Cao Cao's mind would remember the first time he met Sima Yi, which was surprising - wolf Gu Zhixiang!
However, Sima Yi's family, whether it was his father Sima Fang or his brother Sima Lang, were all shocked.
Seeing that Cao Cao was not to blame, Sima Fang breathed a long sigh of relief, and said in his mouth, "It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous, it's really lucky!" ”、
Sima Lang stepped forward and gave Sima Yi a punch, "Put down the book, when is this, my father and I have been worried about you for several days, you are good, and you don't discuss with your family, you dare to refuse Cao Gong's conquest, you don't want to die, Cao Gong is the prime minister of the dynasty, and if you are punished casually, it is enough to bring death to the family." Sima Lang still had palpitations, but Sima Yi looked calm, "Don't worry, he doesn't dare to do anything to me, if he dominates the four seas and his strength is unmatched, I naturally don't dare to refuse his recruitment, but now, he has just welcomed the Son of Heaven, his strength is still weak, and he is eager to stabilize the situation, even Yang Biao's son Yang Xiu can ignore his past suspicions, what is my matter, if he cares about me as a child, will he not be laughed at." ”
Sima Yi spoke eloquently, his expression was calm and calm, even in front of Cao Cao, he would directly refuse Cao Cao's conquest.
As for saying that he is still young and shallow, this is just an excuse made up casually.
Lun Cai, now Sima Yi, has long surpassed his father and brother.
Yang Xiu is 20 years old this year, just and crowned, Yang Biao gave him the word Dezu, warning him not to forget the merits of his ancestors for the imperial court, for this expedition, in fact, Yang Biao's attitude is opposed, he is very dissatisfied with the imperial court and Cao Cao, and does not want his son to serve Cao Cao.
Yang Xiu sat in front of his father's bed and asked, "Father, Cao Cao treats you like this, and you treat the Han family, have you ever been discouraged?" ”
"Hmph, for my father, but I have a breath of air, even if I am broken, I am willing to do my part for Kuang Fu Han Family."
Yang Biao's eyes widened, and he clenched his fists hard, although he was old, gray-haired, and almost died of torture this time, but he never wavered in his loyalty to the Han family, even if he died, he was willing to fight Cao Cao to the end.
"Father, you're too stubborn, too old-fashioned!"
"What are you talking about, what kind of attitude do you have, do you really want to work for Cao Cao?" The angry Yang Biao blew his beard and stared, if he hadn't been lying down and couldn't move, he really wanted to beat Yang Xiu hard.
Yang Xiu staggered to his feet, grinning on his face, looking like a hanger, almost making Yang Biao vomit blood angrily.
Yang Xiu pointed to his head and said with a smile, "To be a person and do things, you have to learn to be flexible, you are not wronged at all in this fight, if it weren't for Cao Cao's dare not do too much, our Yang family would have been wiped out." ”
"What do you mean by this, do you think it's wrong to do something for your father, do you want me to obey Cao Cao's words? Hmph, the Tao is not the same, what the old man does, the upper is against the sky, and the lower is against the ground. ”
Yang Xiu shook his head, "You, forget it, anyway, you can't go anywhere now, just clean up at home." ”
Yang Xiu said, turned around and walked out, Yang Biao hurriedly reprimanded loudly, "It's just against the sky, I don't allow you to work for Cao Cao!" ”
"Hehe..."Yang Xiu looked back at Yang Biao, and smiled and showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth, "Father, it doesn't matter who you work with, the key is, don't forget who you are, I am Yang Xiu - Yang Dezu, my father just gave me the words, how can I shame the family!" ”
Saying that, Yang Xiu looked up at the sky, as if he saw the ancestors of the Yang family, Yang Xiu still looked like a hip-hop free and easy, but he secretly made up his mind in his heart, "Father did his best, next, it's the son's turn!" ”
