Chapter XXXVIII

"Father taught me a lesson!" Cao Cao obediently stood on the edge of the bookcase to polish the ink for the old father, watched the old man carefully conceive words, and learned another lesson! In order to maintain his most proud son and pave the way for him, Cao Song also said a lot of good things to Zhang Rang in a low voice - however, seeing that his son was defeated and responsible, why don't you bend over, it's worth it!

After the letter was written, Cao Cao quickly whipped up, and in one day and one night, he ran from Chen Liu to Luoyang City, first met with Zhang Rang, the servant of Zhongchang, and presented 30,000 gold, which immediately made Zhang Rang's face gloomy: "So much gold, it seems that your kid has made a lot of mistakes, wow?" Unfolded the letter, and when he saw half of it, he jumped up: "What, Huangfu Song's entire army was wiped out?!" Are the yellow turban thieves a group of mud-legged people soon, why are they so powerful?! Is it necessary to mobilize the border troops? ”

Cao Cao said on the side: "There are two opportunities before and after this battle, both can lay the victory, but unfortunately Huangfu Song, as a member of the party, only remembered to weaken the strength of our party, first stopped the beheading tactics of Sun Jian, the captain of the school, and vetoed the boy's way to keep people alive, so as not to force them to jump over the wall in a hurry, and finally when the boy was in a decisive battle with the Yellow Turban Army, he sat and watched the victory or defeat, but he did not attack, so that our cavalry did not fight in this battle, and waited until the second day, when the enemy cavalry attacked, There is no chance to fight back! ”

"Is that so? And you tell the miscellaneous family before and after this battle, and you are not allowed to omit anything! Zhang Rang's cold eyes stared at Cao Cao, his mind was spinning, but what he thought was that the party members really did not die to the miscellaneous thieves, and they needed to kill chickens and monkeys!

I listened to Cao Cao talk about the war three times, and interjected from time to time to ask for some details, and also watched Cao Cao's Zhang Niujiao head that Cao Cao put in the wooden box and embalmed with lime, so he nodded and showed a smile of approval: "Yes, you kid is still honest and didn't lie to the miscellaneous family." ”

Seeing Cao Cao's questioning expression, Zhang Rang explained: "Do you think that the miscellaneous family asked you three times because the miscellaneous family has a bad memory?" You're wrong! Showing a proud smile: "Although the miscellaneous family is not highly educated, in terms of this memory, it can be called the first in the world!" Whether it is a subset of scriptures and history, or the words and appearances of people, they are all unforgettable! I have memorized everything you just said, and I have asked you three times, just to see if you lied to the miscellaneous family! ”

Looking at Cao Cao's timely expression of admiration, Zhang Rang said proudly: "An ordinary person, there will definitely be some loopholes when he lies for the first time, he will make up for it unconsciously when he says it the second time, and he wants to change it when he says it for the third time, so there will be nothing to hide in the ears of the miscellaneous family!" You're a good kid! However, some people don't want to serve the country, but instead turn their minds to miscellaneous families! Hum! Zhang Rang's face suddenly became extremely cold, making Cao Cao, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, shiver.

"For the sake of your Lao Tzu and the miscellaneous family being the same party, this matter is wrapped up in the miscellaneous family, you go back and wait for the good news, the miscellaneous family still has to think about it, how to mention this matter to Your Majesty." Zhang Rang waved his hand and asked Cao Cao to leave.

Cao Cao respectfully saluted, retreated back to the door, then turned around, closed the door, and left. Behind him, Zhang Rang showed a satisfied smile: "It seems that Cao Song has trained this little cub well, and he knows the rules, so I have to really make some efforts." Of the three lieutenant generals, two of the ones standing on the side of the party have already fallen, even if Huangfu Song is not killed by the yellow scarf, the miscellaneous family will have to clean him up sooner or later! Good to die! Zhu Jun is impartial, only loyal to His Majesty, and the miscellaneous family is not embarrassed by him. Now these Yellow Turban remnants, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang are dead, Zhang Bao is trapped in Xiaquyang, and is being besieged by Zhu Jun, the right Zhonglang, Cao Cao asked him to lead the elite of the 3,000 Northern Army to Zhu Jun to make meritorious contributions! ”

The next day, Cao Cao's recital and Zhu Jun's recital were sent to His Majesty, and Zhang Rang took it personally and handed it over to Emperor Liu Hong.

After only a cursory glance, Liu Hong threw the bamboo slip into Zhang Rang's hand, "You come and read it to everyone!" Zhang Rang glanced at the ministers very happily, unfolded the bamboo slips, and read them out one by one.

Cao Cao's twists and turns, first reported that Huangfu Song led the army to break the giant deer, break Guangzong, scared Zhang Jiao to death, killed Zhang Liang, until the Yellow Turban was surrounded in Huanglongtan, and then the battle reversed, first sat and watched Cao Cao's 5,000 cavalry annihilation, and then when the Yellow Turban was both defeated, he was defeated by the cavalry raid, this battle, Cao Cao's only remaining fifty cavalry assault, and 30,000 troops killed the head of Jizhou Qu Shuai Zhang Niujiao, but because of the small force, unable to counterattack, had to get out of the south and join Zhu Jun.

"Where is the head of Zhang Niujiao?" On the one hand, the eunuch presented the wooden box, Liu Hong frowned and glanced at it, and let it be taken away, the smell was too bad! After thinking about it, he said: "In this way, Cao Cao is still a fierce general, and he has no fault in this battle." ”

"Your Majesty, although Huangfu Song was defeated and died, after all, he successively killed Zhang Liang, the first horn of the Yellow Turban Thief, and then broke the Giant Deer and Guangzong in the thief's nest. Nian Zai has died, and he should be kind to future generations to show the kindness of the court. Situ Yuan Feng saw that Liu Hong did not mention Huangfu Song, and felt slightly cold, in order to win the hearts of the party members and increase the prestige of the Yuan family, he spoke up.

Seeing Yuan Feng coming out, a group of ministers spoke out in agreement, Liu Hong looked at the ministers below, and was angry in his heart: the so-called grace comes from above, before he speaks, he Yuan Feng said this, as if the kindness of the descendants of the emperor Fu Song is his Yuan Feng, he paid his own money and gave him the prestige of Yuan's family, it was simply forcibly feeding himself to eat Xiang, which was extremely disgusting! This Yuan family is the fourth generation and the third duke, there are a lot of henchmen, looking at the ministers who followed behind Yuan Feng, Liu Hong's heart was cold, for the sake of Xie'er, these thorns must not be pulled out!

nodded slightly and said: "What Aiqing said is very true, Huangfu Song is loyal to the country, died on the battlefield, should be kind to future generations, and the son of Huangfu Song will be the Marquis of Guannei, and the reward will be 3,000, isn't it still 300." "Let's smack my mouth twice, I feel that the taste of paying money is really bad, looking at His Royal Highness's ministers, an idea came out, anyway, these guys are all henchmen of the Yuan family, and they are not of the same heart as themselves, so let them pay for the official, and let everyone in the world know that they are the official who was bought, not by ability! Didn't the outside say that you were mediocre, then you ministers should also go into the water together, everyone is mediocre! Why is there a problem in the world, that is, I am mediocre, you have nothing, and you are still quite prestigious. Well, however, this idea has to be discussed with Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong to see how to operate more smoothly.

After thinking about it so much, Liu Hong felt that his spirit was not good, he yawned, and said, "If you have nothing to do, you can retreat." Zhang Rang hurriedly reminded on the side: "Then Cao Cao? And Zhu Jun's twists and turns? ”

"Well, then Cao Cao accompanied Huangfu Song to attack Julu and Guangzong, and killed Zhang Niujiao, if he is meritorious, let him lead five hundred forest cavalry and go to Zhu Jun to kill thieves." As soon as Liu Hong said casually, he turned the 3,000 Northern Army that Zhang Rang had mentioned in advance into a forest of 500 feathers.

"Zhu Zhonglang also has a twist?" The eyes of the ministers on one side lit up, just now it was Cao Cao talking to himself, but now Zhu Jun is impartial, listen to what he says.

Liu Hong glared at Zhang Rang dissatisfiedly, Zhu Jun's recital he had already seen it, didn't he just complain and ask for reinforcements, and he didn't want to think about it, all the elites that the Han could mobilize were in your hands, what do you want to do! Zhang Jiao's rebellion, isn't he already dead, a Zhang Bao is also surrounded in Xiaquyang, unable to move, just two thousand horse thieves, is it worth mobilizing the army and spending countless money and food! The money and food of feelings are not your Zhu Jun's, for the sake of the Jizhou family, you Zhu Jun is also hard enough!

Zhu Jun of Jizhou would never have thought that his own letter of recital would be mistaken by his loyal Son of Heaven for beginning to lean towards the side of the family, and he really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away!

Zhang Rang was glared at by Liu Hong, knowing that it was not good or bad, and took Zhu Jun's recital and read it there slowly, while thinking about how to delete it.

Situ Yuan Feng below heard it, what, my family's unicorn Yuan Shao was defeated twice, and he was only spared! This was repaid, and hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, this strict government thief is extremely cunning, and he must not be allowed to sit big, otherwise it will be difficult for the society to be safe!" ”
