Chapter 215: Intended for Youzhou
At that time, ten miles outside the Xu capital, the courtiers all wore filial piety to Cao Ang, and Cao Cao personally held Cao Ang's head, looking up to the sky and roaring, Cheng Yu knelt on the ground, and took out the sabers of the left and right sergeants, intending to kill himself!
"Before leaving, the lord once entrusted Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu was ashamed of his high hopes for the lord, and he died and couldn't repay it! The eldest son died in vain, Cheng Yu is duty-bound and willing to apologize! ”.
At that time, Xun Yu stopped Cheng Yuzhi's blade and signaled that this matter was out of place!
Cheng Yu also knew that the lord should be in grief and anger at this time, so he withdrew the blade, Naiyun, "Cheng Yu is willing to go with the eldest son!" I hope that the prime minister will be fulfilled! ”。
Xun Yu whispered, "You Cheng Yu is confused! ”。
Cao Cao was sad and angry, and said to Cheng Yu, "Zhongde thinks that my Cao Cao is not sad enough at this time?" Fang just lost a beloved son, and at this time, do you want to lose a humerus? ”。
Cheng Yu's face was hard to hide, he knelt on the ground and cried, while Cao Cao held the head of his beloved son and turned back to the city!
On the same day, it was Cao Ang's funeral ceremony, Cao Cao personally ordered a good craftsman, with rosewood as his body, stitched Cao Ang's head for burial, and on the tombstone, the original intention should be written "the tomb of Cao Ang, the eldest son of Cao Cao, the right prime minister of the Han Dynasty", twelve words, but the edict of the emperor has come down, and Cao Ang was named "Huanghu Hou and Weiyuan General", so Cao Cao ordered people to engrave "the tomb of Cao Ang, the general of Han Huanghu Hou Weiyuan" on the tombstone.
After the coffin was put into the ground, Cao Cao personally covered the soil on it, which was from the clouds, "Your biological mother went early, because your father had no time to take care of your young children, and then led the troops to fight in the east and west, you went with you, entered the military camp early, and I don't know if it was a good thing or bad. ”。
Cao Cao almost wanted to cry, but he was helped up by the people around him, Cao Cao said, "It's okay!" No problem! A certain Cao Mengde was defeated in a certain county back then, but one person and one ear, there is still today's prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and the pain of mourning is really no problem! ”。
Cao Cao mentioned the past in a certain county in the middle of the year, that is, he had to meet Chen Gong to help, so he could save the day, and now Chen Gong has long abandoned Cao Cao, so when Cao Cao spoke proudly, he was also lonely!
Compared with the bones of the hundred officials who greeted Cao Ang, Cao Cao did not pay much attention to the funeral of his eldest son, a pinch of loess, a tombstone is enough, and Xun Yu has always known the style of the lord of the Dao, and he did not say anything, and according to the tombstone "General Huanghu Hou Weiyuan", then this simple grave is too shabby!
Cao Cao asked Xun Yu, "Does Wen Ruo think that my Cao Cao's simple funeral is a show for everyone!" ”。
Xun Yu praised, "Wen Ruo doesn't dare! Can't! ”。
Cao Cao said, "Whether it's grandstanding, or being a show, I Cao Cao never values things outside my body, and I drink the ministers to wear filial piety, which is to show that my Cao Cao is not declining, someone can kill my Cao Cao's son, or someone can kill me Cao Cao, but people all over the world, but when I hear my Cao Cao's name, I must be in awe, I must tremble, as long as I Cao Cao still has a breath, my anger will shock millions of male soldiers!" ”。
Xun Yu said yes, and Cao Cao said angrily at Cao Ang's tombstone, "The murderer will pay for his life, a hundred times the repayment, and he would rather teach me to bear the people of the world, not the people of the world to bear me!" ”。
That night, in Cao Cao's mansion, Cao Ang's tablet was standing, and Cao Cao meditated to pay tribute to him with incense and candles, but summoned Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others in the study to discuss important matters!
"The eldest brother is the father, the brother is the brother, the elder brother should serve the elder brother as if he served the father, and the four of you brothers will keep a vigil for the eldest brother tonight!" , Cao Cao ordered Cao Zhang, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and Cao Chong to kneel in front of Cao Ang's spiritual seat!
Among the four, Cao Pi is the most open-minded and sobbing; And Cao Zhang only said that he wanted to avenge his brother; Cao Zhi dipped his pen in ink and made "Mourning Brother" to sacrifice him; As for the fifth son Cao Chong, although he is more than intelligent, he is young, and he only knows that Lu Dao is attached to Cao Pi!
Seeing this, Cao Cao said worriedly, "I don't know who to follow?" ”。
At that time, Xun Yu and the others were already waiting outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and as soon as they heard the call of the lord, they hurriedly entered the mansion, and the first person was Cheng Yu!
Cheng Yu saw the lord again, and told the story of Shouchun from beginning to end, and after Cao Cao heard this, he said suspiciously, "You said that Yu Ban and others were trapped in Shouchun City, and this Zhao Yun led the soldiers and horses to attack the city!" ”。
Yu Ban was also beside Cao Cao, nodding with Cheng Yu and the others, and Cao Cao asked again, "Is the surprise attack really Cao Ang's plan?" ”。
Cheng Yu said that although Cao Ang wanted to personally lead his troops to sneak into Shouchun City, Cheng Yu stopped him, but Cheng Yu did not repeat this paragraph again, because everything was meaningless!
At that time, Xun Yu said to Cheng Yu, "Zhongde is confused! How can the commander of the first army be allowed to risk his life and sneak into Shouchun City! ”。
Cao Cao stopped Xun Yu's words, "Don't you know Cheng Yu's person?" How could Cao Ang be allowed to act arbitrarily! But I also know Cao Ang's temperament, his bull temper is with me, but he doesn't have the good luck of his father! ”。
Cheng Yu was ashamed, although the lord had already told everything, but if it weren't for Cheng Yu's own carelessness, Cao Ang would not have risked his life!
"Zhongde doesn't need to worry too much, life and death are fateful, and he can't complain about others, but he can kill my son Cao Ang, and he is not a rat, does Ji Ling have such a ability?"
Yu Ban replied, "Although I have never seen Ji Lingqi, his absolute enemy is the eldest son Cao Ang, and there must be something strange in this!" ”。
Cao Cao smiled when he heard this, "It's not Ji Ling's hand, that's what Jizhou did!" ”。
Xun Yu said, "At the beginning, Gao Fei tried his best to recommend the eldest son as the handsome, and he was planning to do so!" ”。
"Is there any evidence?" , Cao Cao smiled, "I, Cao Cao, am not going to bite indiscriminately because of the pain of losing my son!" ”。
Xun Yu said, "The eldest son is handsome, and he didn't dare to use the Jizhou military horses, so he sent Zhao Yun to and from the land of Xudu to recruit military rations, and that night, Zhao Yun was escorting a batch of grain and grass to the military camp, as for the question of time, Zhao Yun just arrived in the camp with grain, and was asked by Cheng Yu for help to Yu Shouchun, and it seemed that there was no time to appear in Shouchun City first, and kill the eldest son!" ”。
Cao Cao carefully understood Xun Yu's words, and said, "Was it Zhao Yun's doing?" ”。
Xun Yu admonished, "The eldest son is deeply inherited by General Dian Wei, and it is difficult for ten thousand people to be martial arts, at that time, in the land of Shouchun, except for Zhao Yunqi and others, no one could kill the eldest son!" ”。
Cao Cao has also heard of Zhao Yun's bravery, but he has never seen it with his own eyes, according to legend, Zhao Yun is the "gun king" Tong Yuan's disciple, studied art for ten years, before going down the mountain, and then first took refuge in Beiping Gongsun Zhan, but Gongsun Zhan did not know his talent, but was taken away by Gao Fei, so far he has been loyal to Gao Fei, as a general!
Cao Cao said, "The two generals of Jizhou, the white-clothed general Zhao Yun and the Huwei general Xu Chu, are they all better than my fierce generals in Gunzhou?" ”。
At that time, Yu Ban was beside him, and it was difficult to say about it, Xun Yu relieved the siege and said, "General Xiahoudun is also a fierce general, and he can compete with one of the two of them!" ”。
Cao Cao thought a little and said, "If Dian Wei is here, dare to teach Gao Fei to be so arrogant!" ”。
When Yu Ban heard this, he said to himself, "The end will be incompetent, the end will be incompetent!" ”。
Cao Cao said, "I am long and others will destroy their own prestige, and there are tigers and wolves in Gunzhou!" ”。
Xun Yu continued, "If Zhao Yun can't kill the eldest son, so things are simple, the eldest son has a surprise plan to win Shouchun, and Zhao Yun knocks on the side to know, so he will plan it, and when the eldest son enters Shouchun City, this Zhao Yun will conspire with Ji Ling to kill the son, and after Zhao Yun is done, he will get out and leave, pretend to escort the grain and grass team, pretend to be Cheng Yu, and then kill Ji Ling first after breaking the city!" ”。
Cao Cao thought about it again and again, and said, "It's all nonsense, but there is evidence that Zhao Yun did it!" ”。
At this time, Yu Ban said, "If you don't see the body of the eldest son, otherwise you will know the murderer if you see a fatal wound!" ”。
Cao Cao smiled, "You have underestimated Gao Fei, will he leave his own handle?" ”。
Yu Ban said, "Could it be that this matter will stop here, and the eldest son will die in vain?" ”。
Cao Cao said, "Cao Ang's death, I have to settle it with Gao Fei sooner or later, but not at this time!" ”。
At that moment, Cao Cao retreated from everyone, leaving Xun Yu alone, Xun Yu said, "The lord still has a plan?" ”。
Cao Cao said, "If you want to get rid of Gao Feijiu, I don't know what the best way to do it?" ”。
Xun Yu said, "Gao Fei killed the eldest son, why didn't he kill the lord?" ”。
Cao Cao replied, "I'm not in danger, I can't take advantage of it, doesn't Gao Fei want to kill me Cao Cao and dominate the dynasty?" ”。
Xun Yu shook his head and said, "The reason why Gao Fei dared to kill Cao Ang and didn't dare to kill the lord is more profound, and now the situation is that the lord and Gao Fei are in charge of the dynasty together, and they are divided into left and right prime ministers, and they are kind on the surface, but in fact, they are secretly fighting each other, but the two tigers occupy a mountain, but they don't know that on this mountain, there is a group of monkeys, who does the lord think is the tiger?" Who are the monkeys? ”。
"The two tigers are Jizhou Gao Fei and my Cao Cao, and the monkeys are the ministers and officials in Xudu!" , Cao Cao said, but Xun Yu retorted, "This monkey is not a group of ministers and officials, but the current saint, the saint deigns to be in the Xu capital, there are two prime ministers as puppets, there are people in the world as the Son of Heaven, there is a group of confused princes in the middle, I don't know what to do, the emperor is the person who most hopes that the two will kill and fight with each other, and when both are defeated, Emperor Liu Xie can really be called the Son of Heaven!" ”。
When Cao Cao heard this, he was puzzled, "Isn't the revenge of killing the son revenge?" ”。
Xun Yu said no, "The revenge of the eldest son must be avenged, but not today!" ”。
In fact, what Xun Yu said was all correct, but Xun Yu didn't say why Gao Fei wanted to kill Cao Ang, it stands to reason that Gao Fei and Cao Cao should not fight each other at this time, but for what Gao Fei would send Zhao Yun to kill Cao Ang in Shouchun City, which angered Cao Cao, in fact, the reason for the matter is very simple, because when Gao Fei was plotting against Cao Ang, he had already set his sights on the territory of Youzhou!
Taking down Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou territory is something that Gao Fei has long planned, and recently Gao Fei and Cao Cao have been able to make such a big move, send troops to Shouchun, and crusade against Yuan Shu, in fact, there is another reason, that is, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao have long had a dispute, and they are fighting inextricably, so Yuan Shao did not come to Jizhou and Gunzhou for trouble, and the two Yuan brothers have always been a thorn in Gao Fei's eyes, so the best time to get rid of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao is now, at this time, Yuan Shu is in the land of Huainan, and there is no climate. And Yuan Shao is doing well in Hebei, and Gao Fei intends to borrow the power of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou to suppress Yuan Shao in Hebei, but the premise of Gao Fei's ability to do it is that there will be no chaos in Xu Du, so Gao Fei chose to kill Cao Ang to lose Cao Cao's arm!
