Chapter 57: Killing Him Is Simple
With the idea of making Cao Cao disproportionate, Zhang Xiu did not order Cao Shuo to be intercepted.
When he arrived at the gate of Wuyin City, Liu Shuangze stepped forward and shouted with his face up: "Open the city gate quickly, the second son is back!" ”
Zhang Xiujun was outside the city, and of course the Cao army defending the city did not dare to open the city easily, and someone immediately reported the news to the general on duty.
The general on duty was Cao Hong, and when he heard that Cao Shuo was back, he hurriedly ran to the door.
"Is it Zirong?" Cao Hong shouted.
Cao Hong is Cao Cao's cousin, and Cao Shuo should call him a cousin in terms of seniority.
Riding forward, Cao Shuo replied: "Uncle, it's me back!" ”
"Open the gates!" It was really Cao Shuo outside the city, and Cao Hong immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.
He shouted to Cao Shuo again: "I'll let people report to Cao Gong!" ”
"Thank you, uncle!" Cao Shuo arched his hand.
The city gate opened a crack, and Cao Shuo beckoned to everyone: "Enter the city!" ”
Cao Hong ran down the city to personally welcome Cao Shuo and others into the city.
"The bodies of Zi Yu and the Diansu Guard have been brought back?" As soon as he saw Cao Shuo, Cao Hong asked.
"Brought it back." Looking at the two sacks, Cao Shuo said, "It's inside." ”
"Prepare the car." Cao Hong shouted to the guards: "Welcome the eldest prince and the guard!" ”
"Zirong has worked hard!" When the guards left, Cao Hong said to Cao Shuo: "Since you went to Wancheng, Cao Gong has been restless all day long, thinking about what you think. ”
"Wancheng, I'm definitely going to go." Cao Shuo said: "The eldest brother died on the battlefield but was insulted by Zhang Xiu, how can the younger brother watch it and not say anything?" If I have the chance, I even want to kill Zhang Xiu and hang him in the city. ”
As the two of them were talking, a long voice came into their ears: "Cao Gong has arrived!" ”
Cao Shuo and Cao Hong hurriedly turned around and saluted Cao Cao, who was walking briskly with a large group of people.
When he got closer, Cao Cao grabbed Cao Shuo's hand and looked him from head to toe: "Shuo'er, you're back!" ”
"Father, I'm back!" Cao Shuo responded.
Cao Cao said: "I went to Wancheng, and it was much stronger than a few days ago. ”
"I've brought back my eldest brother's guard!" Cao Shuo showed a trace of sadness and bowed his head and said.
He didn't have any feelings for Cao Ang, and pretending to be sad was nothing more than Cao Cao liking him like this.
"Gong Cao, do you want to take a look?" Cao Hong asked.
Slowly closing his eyes, Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Dian Wei died because of me, how can I bear to look at his remains?" ”
Two lines of turbid tears rolled down Cao Cao's cheeks.
Two horse-drawn carriages without a roof walked along the bluestone road.
The guards who had been ordered to bring the carriage came to him and saluted Cao Cao: "Qi Cao Gong, the carriage is here!" ”
"Carriage?" Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong.
"The eldest son and the Diansu guard are still in the sack." Cao Hong said: "Since they are back, there must be a car to pick them up." ”
"Leave it to Zilian to dispose of." Cao Cao said: "Find a good place to bury in the city, and give more burials." After that, I'll worship it myself. ”
"Cao Gong is honored, how can there be a reason to sacrifice the lord to the servant and the father to the son?" Xun You, who was following behind Cao Cao, said.
"Ziyu is my son, just bury it simply." Cao Cao said: "Dian Wei wants to be buried thickly. He died for me, and I should worship him! Dian Wei's family has a generous reward, and his son Dian Man inherited the official title. ”
Cao Cao's face was stained with tears, and everyone was also sad.
Raising his arm and wiping his tears twice with his sleeve, Cao Cao said to Cao Shuo: "You come with me." ”
"You go and rest first and take care of Miss Qinnu." Cao Shuo ordered Liu Shuang and the others and followed Cao Cao.
"Is it very dangerous to go to Wancheng this time?" Cao Cao asked Cao Shuo.
"It's not dangerous." Cao Shuo said: "From stealing the corpse to leaving Wancheng, it is under control. The only regret is that he had the opportunity to kill Hu Che'er but didn't succeed. ”
"You're going to kill Hu Che'er?" Cao Cao was stunned.
"Nope!" Cao Shuo said: "Someone wants to kill him, I just push the boat along the river." Unexpectedly, this boat was not very good. ”
Cao Cao did not speak.
Xun You and the others, who followed behind the father and son, also did not say a word.
Back at his residence, Cao Cao said to everyone: "Princes, retreat first, I have something to say to Shuo'er." ”
Everyone quit one after another.
Cao Shuo followed Cao Cao to the backyard.
Before entering the room, Cao Cao asked, "Why did you assassinate Hu Che'er?" Did I ask you to kill him? ”
"It's not a child assassination." Cao Shuo said: "It's someone who ......"
Cao Cao interrupted him: "Even if someone wants to assassinate him, it has nothing to do with you, don't you know that Wancheng is very dangerous?" If you're not careful, chances are you'll die! ”
"Hu Che'er killed the guard, and the eldest brother may also die at his hands." Cao Shuo said: "He and our Cao family have a common enmity, if you don't kill him, the child will not be reconciled!" ”
Cao Shuo said this, of course, not out of his own heart.
went to Wancheng and supported Qin Nu to assassinate Hu Che'er, he simply wanted to earn more capital in front of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao had twenty-five sons.
There were twenty-four dead Cao Ang.
Taking advantage of the fact that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are still young and have not yet become adults, he does not accumulate some capital, and when the two brothers grow up, it may not be advantageous to compete with them for favor.
Of course, Cao Cao didn't know that Cao Shuo had these calculations in his heart.
Gently patting him on the shoulder, Cao Cao said: "I know that you were born to the same mother as Ang'er, and you have had a very deep relationship since childhood. Ang'er is dead, if you have another three long and two short, let me explain to your mother in a hundred years. ”
Cao Shuo lowered his head and said, "Father, the child knows that he is wrong. But I still have a request! ”
"You say!"
"I want to kill Hu Che'er with my own hands!"
"Nonsense!" Cao Cao's face was flat: "The sword on the battlefield has no eyes, and Hu Che'er is more powerful than others, do you still want the generals to risk death to capture him?" ”
"I don't need the generals to capture him alive, I'll kill him myself." Cao Shuo said.
"What do you have to kill him?" Cao Cao asked.
"Zhang Xiu is leading the troops, can our army fight with them?"
"Do you still want to go into battle to challenge Hu Che'er?" Cao Cao asked.
"The child is physically weak, and he is definitely not his opponent when he fights."
"Then what is the way you can kill him?"
"We captured a few thieves on the way back to Wuyin." Cao Shuo said: "I learned from them that Zhang Xiu pursued our army, and Hu Che'er was the vanguard!" ”
"Whoever is the pioneer can't hide it." Cao Cao said: "Still need to capture the enemy and torture it? ”
"It doesn't matter if the child knows the news." Cao Shuo said: "What I want to say is actually very simple to kill Hu Che'er! ”
"How to kill?" Cao Cao asked.
"Hu Che'er is born with divine power, and he is the vanguard of the enemy army." Cao Shuo said: "If you want to kill him, you only need to lead him into an ambush!" ”
"Are you stupid?" Cao Cao asked, "Why did he get into your ambush?" ”
