Chapter 12: The five wolves of the Cao family, the two bears of the Yuan family
A night rain came very suddenly, dripping and sprinkled on every street in Luoyang City, people living in Luoyang City chose to hide at home in such weather, scalding a pot of wine, and enjoying a rain.
Bursts of coolness accompanied by the rain dripping, in the northern part of Luoyang, Cao Cao sat quietly on the ground in the lobby alone, the lights in the hall were a little dim, and the rain knocked on the eaves, making the whole room seem unusually quiet.
Cao Cao closed his eyes as if he was thinking about something.
Just now, a messenger came to the palace to convey the emperor's will, the will said that because of his outstanding merits, he was promoted to the commander of Dunqiu, Cao Cao sneered in his heart, this will is clearly to kill himself! As soon as he killed Jian Tu, the emperor transferred himself out of Luoyang City, there must be a conspiracy in this, and it seems that Jian Shuo's actions are very fast.
Cao Cao opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, since I dare to kill Jian Tu, then I am not afraid of your Jian Shuo's revenge, Cao Cao clapped his hands, and in an instant, five black shadows appeared in the shadows of the lobby, and the swaying firelight made it impossible to see their faces.
"Pack up, we're going to Dunqiu!" Cao Cao stood up and said with a smile
The five dark shadows glanced at each other, and one of them stepped out of the shadows, the light shining on his face, the man with long hair scattered haphazardly, and a long blood-red knife on his back
"What's going on?" The man asked
Cao Cao smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that someone won't let us stay in Luoyang!" ”
"Oh," the man said without saying anything, turning to the other four, "let's go!" ”
After the five people saluted Cao Cao, they disappeared in an instant, Cao Cao came to the outside of the lobby, stood under the eaves and looked up at the night rain, stretched out his hand, the cold rain hit his hand, Cao Cao silently said, "One day, I Cao Cao will come back!" ”
On a rainy night in Luoyang, a group of six people walked out of the office wearing a robe, Cao Cao got on the horse, took one last look at the gate of the office in the north of Luoyang, and then rode away.
The sound of horses' hooves at the north gate of Luoyang City broke the silence of the night, Cao Cao held the token in his hand, and said to the defending sergeant who was about to come forward for interrogation, "Cao Cao, the northern lieutenant of Luoyang, is ordered by the emperor to go to Dunqiu on business!" Open the door! ”
A sergeant checked the token in Cao Cao's hand and said to his companion behind him, "Open the door!" Release! ”
Cao Cao bowed his hand, thanked the sergeant, and several people quickly left Luoyang City.
In the Jian Mansion, Zuo Liang whispered to Jian Shuo, "My lord, Cao Cao took five attendants out of the city in the rain last night!" ”
Jian Shuo waved his hand and said, "Well, you lead the team to kill him!" Remember not to leave the handles behind! ”
"Don't worry!" Zora disappeared into thin air.
Cao Cao and his party of six people braved the rain and rushed overnight, at this time the rain had already stopped, Cao Cao saw that the sky was almost there, the six people were a little tired after a night of galloping, Cao Cao looked left and right, there was a restaurant not far ahead, Cao Cao said, "Let's go to the front to rest"
The six people came to the front of the restaurant, which was built next to the official road, although the store was not as good as the various restaurants in Luoyang City, but the business was very hot, and most of the pedestrians would rest here. Cao Cao and others handed over the horses to Xiao Er, and the six of them strode into the restaurant, it was time to eat, and the six finally found a place to sit down, and the six took off their robes and hats, Cao Cao ordered a few pots of wine, asked for a few dishes, and the six of them ate in large gulps, after all, after a night of driving, the stomachs of the six people were already empty.
"Big brother, you said that you, don't stay in Luoyang City, you have to go to Dunqiu! With our grandfather here, are you still afraid of him? The speaker asked, gobbling it up.
Cao Cao looked at the five people in front of him, and smiled noncommittally, these five people are the pillars of the younger generation of the Cao family, known as the five wolves of the Cao family, the one who appeared last night with a blood-colored long knife on his back is called Xiahou Yuanrang, and the one sitting next to him is somewhat similar to Xiahou Yuan, and the one who tied his hair and a bangs obliquely blocked his eyes is Xiahou Yuan's younger brother Xiahou Yuan's word seconds, and the weapon used by Xiahou Yuan is a Vermilion Bird Bow, which is a hundred shots. The person next to Xiahou Yuan is Cao Ren's character Zixiao, this Cao Ren is burly, and he carries a shield behind his back, this shield is called Xuanwu, which is taken from the deep sea iron, forged and refined, and is indestructible. Cao Ren is surrounded by his younger brother Cao Hong, who is good at hidden weapons, and you never know how many weapons he hides on his thin body. The last person is named Cao Chun Cao Zihe, and he has a magic spear in his hand. The Xiahou family and the Cao family are married, and they have long been inseparable from each other, and Cao Cao's father Cao Song reverted to the surname Xiahou and later sent it to Cao Teng.
And the one who asked just now was Cao Hong, this Cao Hong himself is an acute child, and these people are all Cao Cao's cousins, from childhood to adulthood, these people have a very good relationship.
Cao Cao took the wine and drank it all: "If you don't leave Luoyang, how can Jian Shuo attack me?" Since it is already a non-ending game, it is better to break it earlier! ”
Xiahoudun nodded, "Ah Hou is right, instead of guarding against it every day, it is better to expose flaws and let them strike first!" ”
"Forget it, you should consider this kind of mental work, Brother Hong and I just need to kill people!" Xiahou Yuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Meng De, with the five of us here, even if the Seven Evils come together, we can kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" ”
Cao Ren slapped Xiahou Yuan's shoulder with a pair of broad hands and scolded with a smile: "Second, if you don't brag, can you die!" ”
Cao Chunren was more introverted and didn't talk much, but he still said, "Qisha has been famous for a long time, let's be careful!" ”
"Zi and you are really getting smaller and smaller," Cao Hong sneered
Cao Chun's face was slightly shy, and he was about to argue, when Cao Cao said, "Okay, brothers, hurry up and eat, finish eating and resting, so that you can continue to hurry." ”
At this moment, there was a commotion at the counter of the restaurant, Cao Cao and the others looked up, only to see a group of people standing at the counter, one of them was a gorgeously dressed man who was beating the guy in the store, and a person behind him persuaded him, "Highway, forget it, why bother him?" ”
The gorgeously dressed man turned around and said, "Don't worry about it! This kid just owes a beating," the man said, pointing to Xiao Er's neck and saying, "It's your honor to have dinner here!" You dare to tell Ben Gongzi that there is no place? ”
"Childe is wrong, but there is really no place for it!" Xiao Er's nosebleed and begged for mercy, "Son, take a look for yourself, there are still vacancies here!" ”
"If you dare to be hard-mouthed, I'll kill you!" The gorgeously dressed boy drew his sword and was about to stab at Xiao Er, but the person who spoke just now shouted angrily, "Enough! Yan Liang snatched his sword! Take him out! ”
A burly man walked out and snatched the sword from the gorgeous man's hand and forcibly took him out of the restaurant.
The man's eyebrows are somewhat similar to the gorgeous boy just now, and the man comforted the little two in a gentle voice, "Little second brother, I'm sorry, just now my brother was reckless, you accept these silver taels, and the right to apologize for him in the future!" ”
Xiao Er looked at the two ingots of silver in his hand, and had mixed feelings in his heart, this is really a blessing and misfortune to rely on, just now he was almost beaten to death, but the peak turned around and a person gave himself two ingots of silver, these two ingots of silver, even if he does a lifetime of Xiao Er, he can't earn it, Xiao Er gave himself two slaps, well, it's not a dream, Xiao Er can't care about the pain in his body, holding two ingots of silver and laughing wildly, "Lao Tzu is rich, hahahaha, Lao Tzu is rich!" ”
The man shook his head helplessly, and was about to leave when he heard a familiar shout behind him
"Originally, where is this going?"
The man turned around and said happily, "Mengde? It's really you, how did you end up here! ”
The person who spoke was Cao Cao, and at this time Cao Cao came to the man, and the two stared at each other and hugged each other happily.
Cao Cao pointed to his position and said, "Call the highway in, it just so happens that I have a place!" ”
"Good," the man replied
As he walked, Cao Cao whispered to the man, "Originally, would you kill that little second like this?" ”
The man stopped and looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, Cao Cao opened his mouth to explain, "You gave him such a windfall in front of everyone's eyes, in this world, the wealth is exposed, and he is not as protected as you, I guess he will definitely not survive tonight!" ”
The man will be skeptical, "What then?" ”
Cao Cao said indifferently, "What can I do, life and death are up to me!" ”
This man's surname is Yuan Mingshao, the word is original, the one who beat people just now is called Yuan Shuzi Highway, he is both the sons of the Yuan family of the Han Empire, the fourth generation of the Yuan family and the third duke, the family power is all over every corner of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are friends from childhood to adulthood, in Yuan Shao's party Cao Cao also saw two childhood playmates, Xu Yu Xu Ziyuan, who is unparalleled in wisdom, and Zhang Miao Zhang Mengzhuo, who is righteous and wealthy, these people were famous in Luoyang City in the second generation of officials, rich second generation, naughty and mischievous, extremely sloppy. At that time, Cao Cao was still called Ah Pu, and if Liu Xu knew that Ah Pu was Cao Cao's milk name and beat him to death, he wouldn't dare to make a mistake! After everyone sat down, Cao Cao pointed to another young man who was dressed as a student, "Who is this?" ”
The man smiled gently, got up and said, "In Xiaju Lutian, Toyota Yuanhao, I have seen Cao Gongzi!" ”
"Oh, I'm glad I will!"
Cao Cao raised his glass and toasted Tian Feng, at this time Yuan Shu came in noisily, he also saw Cao Cao, Yuan Shu sat down with a big grin, and said in a mean tone, "Isn't this Cao Apu!" ”
"You really haven't changed at all on the road, and you still speak so bluntly!"
This Yuan Shu is the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, pampered since childhood, seeing no one to accept, speaking harshly, narrow-minded, Cao Cao has long been accustomed to the way he speaks, and he doesn't care, he turned his head to Yuan Shao and said, "Where are you going?" ”
Yuan Shao opened his mouth and said, "Go to Luoyang, I heard that the general He Jin is recruiting, I'll go and see, can I mix up an official and a half-position, what about you Meng De, I heard that you are a northern lieutenant in Luoyang, are you going out on business?" ”
Cao Cao's eyes rolled, and in the end, he told the truth, and told him about killing Jian Tu and angering Jian Shuo, everyone applauded, and Yuan Shao even high-fived and said excitedly, "It's good to kill, I have long seen that these eunuchs are not pleasing to the eye!" ”
Cao Cao smiled embarrassedly, "So I was driven out of Luoyang City, Jian Shuo should have sent seven demons to chase and kill me, I don't know if I will see you next time, I Cao Cao will have the life to see you again!" Saying this, Cao Cao burst into tears.
Zhang Miao is a righteous gentleman, very righteous, and after listening to Cao Cao's words, he couldn't help but say, "Mengde, don't be afraid, with me and Ben Chu, Zi Yuan, let's discuss and discuss together!" ”
Yuan Shao was helpless in his heart, although Cao Cao killed Jian Tu and slapped Jian Shuo's face, but he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but since Zhang Miao had spoken, he couldn't shirk and had to say, "Qisha has been famous for a long time, I brought two generals" Yuan Shao pointed to the two men standing behind him and said, "Yan Liang, Wen Chou"
Cao Cao had long been aware of these two people, and when these two people appeared, Xiahoudun secretly told him that these two people were masters. Cao Cao's purpose now is to bring the two of them in and surprise the Seven Evils!
"Ziyuan, you have an idea" Yuan Shao knew that retreating at this time would affect his image, so he had to take the opportunity to ask Xu Yu beside him.
Xu You said with a smile, "It's easy to say, there is a dangerous place in the ten miles ahead-Feiyun Stream, and the few people behind Meng De should be the five wolves of the Cao family!" ”
Cao Cao nodded, and Xu You continued, "That's easy, five wolves and two bears are exactly seven against seven, we just wait for them in Feiyunjian!" ”
Everyone exchanged glances with each other, and they all nodded to indicate that it was feasible, and then Yuan Shu opened his mouth and said, "Go and kill people, this son likes to kill!" Hey, hey, hey, I like you, and you're never soft on killing! ”
After everyone finished resting, they divided into two roads, Cao Cao, Xiahoudun, and Cao Ren galloped towards Feiyun Stream on the official road. Yuan Shao and the others stayed at the restaurant for one night, because it was the only way to go to Feiyunjian!!
