Chapter 212 is followed by the father
.. lā?天穁.』 2. In the mahogany coffin, Cao Ang lay quietly flat, his warm face was not the same as usual, except for a slight paleness, as if he was asleep, with a relaxed smile, as the eldest son of the Cao family, the political heir of the inner decision, he has been carrying the heavy responsibility of the mountains on his shoulders, and he can't breathe, and now he has abandoned all his troubles, and he can finally 'rest'!
Beside Cao Ang, there is also a broken 'Yitian Sword', which Cao Cao personally gave to his son, hoping that he can 'hold the sword and win the world', now the sword has been broken into two sections, and the blade is full of cracks and chips, which shows how fierce the battle has been before, and finally 'the sword is ruined!' ’
"Zixiu ~ Wu'er! …… It's a father! ”
Touching his son's young face, Cao Cao's fingers trembled violently, this is a powerful hand that controls the world, and has the power to reverse the situation, but now he can't pull back his own son's life, "God, how ruthless are you?" ”
"Woohoo! ~Swallow! ~~ Wow wow! ”
Cao Cao could no longer bear the sadness in his heart, first crying, then whimpering, and finally hugging his head and crying, crying heartbreakingly, tears with blood in his tears......
The traitorous male is also a human being, and he has taken off the honor of his body, and now Cao Cao is not the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, nor is he the commander of the three armies, he is an ordinary father, and he also has the joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness of ordinary people!
Lying in the coffin is his son, who has been raised by himself for 20 years and has devoted countless efforts to cultivating his son, who is the heir to his career, the continuation of his life, his dream and future ......, and now, everything is gone!
"If you are not negligent, if you are not greedy for women, if you are not a little selfish, if you can ......"
'If' is too much, but Cao Cao didn't adopt one, in the final analysis, these tragedies are all caused by himself, and he sent his beloved son to the point of no return, ......, "Zixiu, I am ashamed of my father for you!" ”
"Woohoo! ~~~Wow! ”
Self-blame, remorse, heartache, grief ......, all kinds of emotions came to his heart together, under such a huge blow, Cao Cao only felt that his lower abdomen was hot, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then he fell to the ground and fell unconscious!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Prime Minister!"
"Prime Minister!"
As soon as the tent door was raised, a group of civil and military officials rushed in, although Cao Cao asked everyone to go back to the tent to rest, but in this case, who could sleep with peace of mind, all gathered outside the tent, to listen to the situation inside, for fear that something would happen, and the result was ......
Everyone carried Cao Cao to the soft couch, and several Langzhong immediately began to treat, calling, taking the pulse, pricking needles, pouring decoction and medicine, and ...... busy for a long time, and then looked at Cao Cao, his face was like ashes, his breathing was inaudible, and he was completely unconscious!
"What to do? …… The prime minister is in a coma, what can we do? ”
"Who's in charge of the three armies? Who can solve the crisis? ”
There was a panic in the big tent, and everyone was thinking about this question, 'There are a thousand families and one person in charge', and now when the family is down, what should we do next?
"Send troops immediately, wash Wancheng in blood, kill him without leaving a chicken and dog, avenge the eldest prince, and hate the prime minister!" The generals were filled with righteous indignation, drew their swords one after another, and shouted that they would fight Zhang Xiu to the death!
"By all means, now that the army is newly defeated and the prime minister is unconscious, it is better to retreat to Xuchang immediately, that is the best policy!" The civil officials are more steady, believing that the top priority is to stabilize the situation, and it is not too late to talk about revenge later!
"My father is unconscious, physically and mentally injured, how can he withstand the fatigue of the carriage and horses along the way, or stay still for the time being, and wait for the illness to improve a little, and then make plans!" Cao Pi's brothers are both against sending troops and not in favor of withdrawing troops, and now Cao Cao's safety is the first thing, and if they are not careful, their Cao family will fall into a situation!
"Sending troops? Withdraw troops? …… Or do you stand still? ”
There were three completely different opinions in the big tent, but no one could convince anyone, and they quarreled for a while!
"Everyone, don't make any noise, the prime minister is awake!" Fortunately, at the critical moment, Lang Zhong's words brought the situation under control!
"Your Excellency! ~~ Father! ”
Everyone hurriedly rushed to the side of the soft couch to inspect Cao Cao's situation, Cao Pi rushed to the first, the eldest brother died, he is now the eldest son in the family, some things must be born!
Cao Cao's face was pale, and he breathed more than a dead man, and it took a long time to barely open his eyes, and even his gaze was a little scattered, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, which greatly damaged his vitality, and he tried to lift his body, but he couldn't use any strength, moved his chapped lips, and finally spit out a few words...... "Summoning Xiao Lang, preside over the overall situation!" ”
After saying that, he passed out again!
'Summoning Xiao Lang and presiding over the overall situation', these eight words are like a life-saving straw, allowing everyone to see hope, and now, only Xiao Yi can resolve the current crisis!
However, the country can't be without a king for a day, the army can't be without a commander for a day, Cao Cao is unconscious, Xiao Yi has not yet arrived, during this period, there must be a person who comes forward to temporarily take over the big things, so who is this person?
Everyone looks at me, I look at you, they are all thinking about the right candidate, this burden is not light, if you can't carry it, it will crush people!
The eldest prince Cao Ang is dead, the rest of the sons are still young, not enough to serve the public, among the clan generals who accompany the army, Xiahou Yuan is short-tempered and impulsive, Xiahou Yuan is calm, but unfortunately the courage is insufficient, and the rest are even worse, among the remaining people, they can only see that the two strategists have this ability and prestige!
"The prime minister is in a coma, Xiao Lang has not arrived, and please Fengxiao temporarily act as a major event, and the lower officials are willing to assist!" Cheng Yu has a slippery personality and is unwilling to take responsibility, so he took the initiative to take a step back, and besides, he also knows very well in his heart that when it comes to wisdom and military strategy, he is far inferior to this 'ghost talent'!
"In that case, what are your objections to the major affairs in the army for the next time?"
Now, Guo Jia can't be allowed to retreat, 'brush' with the sword in his hand, this white-faced scholar looked at everyone murderously, in times of crisis, if anyone dares to disobey orders and disrupt the overall situation, don't blame yourself for being a killer!
"I would like to listen to Mr. Fengxiao's orders!"
"I would like to listen to Mr. Fengxiao's orders!"
Everyone didn't dare to slack off, including the sons of the Cao family, they bowed down one after another to show their obedience, and they were also convinced of Guo Jia's talent!
"Okay, Cao Chun listened to the order, immediately rode on a fast horse, and rushed to Shanyang County day and night, and asked Xiao Lang to come here to preside over the overall situation, there must be no mistake!"
Guo Jia's first order was given to Cao Chun, he is not only a Cao clan, but also a fierce general in the army, there is no problem with loyalty and ability, and his riding skills are also outstanding, but he is the best candidate to deliver letters!
"Nuo ~ the last general's order!"
Cao Chun didn't say much, turned around and went out of the tent, brought a few personal soldiers, selected more than a dozen fast horses, prepared enough food, and went out overnight, the most precious thing now is time, and he didn't dare to delay at all!
"Cao Pi listened to the order, the eldest prince has passed away, and now you are the eldest son in the family, immediately rush back to Xuchang from the path, and tell Xun Yu and Xun Yu the situation here, so that they can stabilize the situation in the court, and then sit in the prime minister's mansion and mobilize personal soldiers to protect it in case something happens!"
Compared with the war on the front line, Guo Jia is more worried about the situation in Xuchang, if Cao Cao really has three longs and two shorts, those loyal ministers of the Han family will inevitably take the opportunity to make trouble, and all the princes will also fall into the ground, and they must take precautions, and even have to plan for the worst, so it is most appropriate to send Cao Pi back!
"No!"
Cao Pi also knew that he had a heavy responsibility, wiped the tears on his face, looked at his unconscious father, patted his two younger brothers on the shoulders, gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out of the big tent, first changed into the clothes of ordinary soldiers, and then took a few henchmen and guards, returned to Xuchang from the side road overnight, and went to the imperial court, "The eldest brother has not finished the road, so continue to walk by yourself!" ”
"General Xu Chu, lead the men and horses to guard the big tent of the Chinese army, no one is allowed to enter and exit at will, let alone inquire about the condition of the prime minister, those who violate the order will be killed!"
"No!"
After Xu Chu hugged his fists and saluted, he immediately mobilized the 'tiger and leopard riders' to guard the three layers inside and outside the big tent of the Chinese army, and he even carried a sawtooth broadsword, standing in front of the tent, staring at everyone!
"The rest of the generals will guard their base camps, they must not go out to fight without authorization, they must not retreat without orders, as always, do what they have to do, do you understand?"
"No!"
The generals agreed, and each went back to the camp, but before leaving the tent, they all wiped away their tears and sweat, and tidied up their robes to prevent them from showing flaws!
The arrangement has been decided, Guo Jia is holding a sword, with Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi, two brothers, sitting next to Cao Cao's sickbed, guarding intently, in case of accidents!
"Xiao Lang, you must hurry up!"
