Chapter Seventy-Seven: Disguise

Harrier Mountain, after Zhang Biaozi fled back to the cottage, he was scared every day. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info spend all day drinking, drunk and drunk, and drunk when he wakes up. I drank so much that my scalp was numb and my limbs trembled. Zhang Biaozi also tried not to drink, but once he woke up, Li Pet appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't sleep well all night.

Zhang Biaozi had to hand over the affairs of the cottage to the second master, and the second master let the minions of the cottage patrol day and night to guard against the black shadow in Zhang Biaozi's mouth, which can be regarded as a reassuring pill for Zhang Biaozi.

Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu stayed in Luoyang these days, and they were suffocated if they didn't fight. Cao Cao ordered them to send troops, originally thinking that there was a big battle to fight, but when they knew that they were going to Harrier Mountain to exterminate the bandits, the two were very disappointed. Seeing the disappointed looks of the two, Cao Cao groaned for a while, and then said, "If you don't want to, let others go." ”

The two hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order, no matter how small the battle is, it is better than no battle. Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu rushed to Harrier Mountain with 5,000 soldiers in half a day, and they were supposed to set up camp and attack after exploring the terrain and enemy situation, but after seeing Harrier Mountain, the two decided to attack immediately.

Harrier Mountain is gentle and unsafe. Under the command of Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, the soldiers who suppressed the bandits soon rushed to the cottage of Harrier Mountain. Soon the second master learned that the government had sent people to attack the cottage, and he climbed to check. I saw that the army was well-groomed, and the number of people exceeded half of the cottage.

"Summons an order for everyone to come and guard the village to prevent the official army from attacking the village." After the second master finished ordering, he rushed to Zhang Biaozi's room.

"Big brother, the official army is here." The second master walked into the room, as if he had walked into a large wine vat. Looking at Zhang Biaozi, who was drunk, the second master threw his sleeves and left.

The minions in the cottage are all nearby homeless people, and they are forced to go up the mountain to become bandits. Before they went up the mountain, they were all Zhuanghu people who did their duty, where had they seen such a formation, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu didn't have much effort at all, and they broke through the cottage. Under the deterrence of Sergeant Cao, the little minions raised their hands and disarmed and surrendered. The second boss fled with all his belongings and died under the random arrows. Zhang Biaozi was in a different place in a drunken dream, and the Harrier Mountain cottage was scattered in a hurry.

"It's boring, it's just a bunch of minions. I don't know why the prime minister is so aggressive? Cao Zhen walked with Cao Xiu's imperial horse, and he was very puzzled by Cao Cao's arrangement. Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu are the captains of the tiger and leopard ride, and there are naturally tigers and leopards riding with them. Using the elite to suppress bandits is really a bit of a big fuss.

Cao Xiu looked back at the smoke-smoking cottage, and a smile flashed across his face, "I'm afraid this matter has something to do with your precious son." ”

Cao Zhen looked at Cao Xiu puzzled, "What does it have to do with him?" ”

"In the first battle of Chang'an, Xiliang was defeated. It's not as simple as it seems, the prime minister is blocking the mouths of the people, which is cheaper for you and me. Cao Xiu's eyes narrowed into a line, and there was some envy on his face, "I envy you a little now." ”

Listening to Cao Xiu's words, Cao Zhen felt happy in his heart, and muttered in his mouth, "This kid has a set." ”

At Cao Xiu's suggestion, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu exterminated the bandits near Luoyang and even outside Chang'an. The bandits of Luoyang and Chang'an Sanfu did not dare to go down the mountain, and even some thieves began to go down the mountain to surrender to the government, and the people and merchants of Chang'an and Luoyang traveled much safer, and they were full of praise for the imperial court.

Looking at the official document about Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu's brothers' suppression of bandits, Cao Cao stroked his beard with a smile, "These two boys are also smart." ”

One day, Cao Shuang, who was practicing calligraphy, was summoned into the house by Cao Cao. Cao Shuang's words have always been a stain on him, and Cao Cao often urged Cao Shuang to practice his words after reading Cao Shuang's words that day. But Cao Shuang, who is accustomed to modern writing, has not improved much. When he was in Chang'an, he got Zhong Xuan's guidance, and then he found some way.

"Today, I'll lead you to meet some people." Cao Shuang didn't ask much, and quietly followed Cao Cao.

"This is the head of the Han family in Luoyang, Han Jian." With Cao Cao's introduction, a middle-aged man saluted Cao Shuang, and Cao Shuang hurriedly returned the salute.

Cao Cao then introduced to Cao Shuang, "This is the head of the Meng family in Luoyang, Meng Zu. ”

The young man named Meng Zu and Cao Shuang saluted each other. Meng Zu's eyes were swollen, his steps were a little vain, and he looked like he had been hollowed out by wine.

At the banquet, several people greeted each other, and Cao Cao left the hall on the grounds of physical discomfort. After a few greetings, Han Jian, Meng Zu and Cao Shuang are also familiar with each other. Although Cao Shuang didn't know why Cao Cao introduced the two to him, he knew that Cao Cao definitely had his intentions in doing this.

After sending Han and Meng away, Cao Shuang went to meet Cao Cao, because he knew that Cao Cao must have something to say to him.

At this time, Cao Cao, who was sitting in the seat, was full of red light, and his previous tired and sick state was gone, "Do you know why Gu introduced them to you?" ”

Cao Shuang shook his head, "My grandson doesn't know, and I still hope that my grandfather will teach me." ”

"You should know something about the two of them." Cao Cao asked Cao Shuang to sit down, so he didn't have to be so restrained.

"I know something, I've heard a little." Cao Shuang had already figured out what Cao Cao meant in his heart, and replied respectfully.

Cao Cao said with a little meaning, "Lone gave them what they wanted, and naturally they also gave Lone what they wanted." ”

Hearing this, Cao Shuang understood Cao Cao's intentions. Cao Cao gave the opportunity to rebuild Luoyang to the Han and Meng families, making them the largest families in Luoyang. Han Meng naturally wanted to follow Cao Cao even more desperately, in the eyes of the old family, such an emerging force as Han Meng was not tolerated by them. The old power could not tolerate the emerging forces, and the emerging forces would rebel against the old forces in order to survive, and the two sides controlled each other, thus reducing the resistance of the imperial court.

"You still have a long way to go, and you will naturally understand it in the future." Cao Cao saw that Cao Shuang was thinking a little, so he asked him to go back and rest.

The construction of Chang'an City was also carried out in an orderly manner under the preparation of Zhong Xuan. As promised, the Zhao family and the Yin family contracted all the works. In the eyes of other families in Chang'an, the Yin and Zhao families have been branded as the Cao family. Some families consciously or unconsciously distanced themselves from the two of them, and even some businesses ended before they even began. If you gain something, you must lose something, God is fair.

Some people were happy and some were worried, and the bad people had conclusive evidence in their hands and secretly arrested several families in the city on charges of treason, and soon took out confessions from the mouths of several families, and the case became an ironclad case. The blood of several families stained the land outside Chang'an City. For a while, in Chang'an City, several unstable families also settled down. It's just that the man in black who attacked Cao Shuang didn't have any clue. Yu Bin also asked the bad people in the surrounding counties of Chang'an to help, but he didn't get anything, and the matter was put on hold.
