Chapter 472: Thorn Cao (1)
In the second year of Cao Wei and Huang Chu, September 13 of the first year of the Han Dynasty, Yecheng, the palace of Wei.
Because the front line has just won a big victory, Emperor Cao Pi ordered a feast in the palace to celebrate the great achievements of Youzhou Assassin Shi and Zuo General Zhang He to pacify Liaodong and make all ethnic groups in the Northeast submit, so the whole palace is full of joy, and it looks like it is as lively as the New Year.
The time is not over, the sunset is struggling to illuminate the earth, exuding afterglow, reluctantly looking at the world, the old man is anxious, and suddenly pushes it down, the sun seems to be injured, and suddenly radiates a blood-like brilliance, whimpering, and then helplessly disappearing in the darkness.......
In an instant, night fell, and the earth was hidden in darkness, but the palace in Yecheng was brightly lit, and the lights and candles were lit together, as bright as day.
Cao Pi sat high on the throne, looking at the ministers sitting in the hall looking at him with reverence and reverence, he couldn't help but be proud.
Gongsun Kang and his father Gongsun Du divided Liaodong for 20 years, even his father Cao Cao was helpless, but he ascended the throne for less than a year, and pulled out this nail on the land of Liaodong, here is not only a county in Liaodong, after serving as the Taishou of Liaodong, Gongsun Du father and son led the army to attack Wuhuan in the west, and conquered Goguryeo in the east, forcing more than 30,000 households of Han Hao to surrender, where they seized Lelang County occupied by Han Hao, and divided several counties in the south of Lelang County to establish Obifang County.
Now Zhang He annihilated the Gongsun Kang Department, and even Xiangping, Lelang, and Daifangshu counties were incorporated into Cao Wei's territory, which pushed Cao Wei's territory to the northeast for more than a thousand miles.
In just three months, he got a population of four or five hundred thousand, nearly 100,000 soldiers, more than 100,000 war horses, ginseng, mink and other valuable items, and more than 1,000 miles of vast land. With such great achievements, how can he Cao Pi not be featured by historians in the future?
More importantly, this was a brilliant achievement made not long after Liu Qi was proclaimed emperor, and the hundred officials of the court and the central government were terrified, and this battle not only shocked the leaders of the various ethnic groups who surrendered to Liu Qi, but also inspired the confidence of the hundred officials in the court. For him, nature has an extraordinary significance.
"Hehe, this is a decision made by my Cao Pili against public opinion, and there were still many fierce objections from people at that time, who seems to be right now?" Cao Pi couldn't help but be excited, and then continued to think: "In the battle of Liaodong, we obtained tens of thousands of elite soldiers out of thin air, if these elite soldiers and Youzhou's soldiers and horses are put into guarding the banks of the river, what can Liu Qi do even if he has a million troops?" Unless he sends someone to fill in the river channel. Otherwise, it will be absolutely difficult to break through from our army's defensive circle, and as long as we fight a few defensive battles and annihilate a part of his army, we can calmly switch to a counteroffensive, and when the time comes, we can regain Yuyan, Qingxu and other places in the Central Plains, and I, Cao Wei, can truly stand side by side with Liu Qi. ”
At this time, the ministers had almost arrived, and the vast Taiji Hall was filled with hundreds of important ministers of the imperial court, and all kinds of delicacies were on the table. Endless.
Thanks to Liu Qi's contributions, stir-fry has already been on the table of elegance. All over the north and south, and Cao Wei's imperial kitchen also has many masters who are good at stir-frying, so when the wine and food come up, the wine and food in the air above the whole hall are fragrant, which is intoxicating.
In a side hall not far from the Taiji Palace. Eighty-eight sixty-four beauties are standing in full costume, preparing for the next music and dance, this time the main theme of music and dance is their most prestigious program, and the name of this program can best reflect the praise of Cao Pi, called "Wei Huang Breaking Array Music". This large-scale music and dance is Cao Pi hired the most famous music and dance expert Gongsun Xiang in recent years to personally guide the creation, and selected the palace is the best at dancing sixty-four Gong E, day and night rehearsal for two months before finally completed, the most commendable music and dance is the simulation of the formation when the grand and heroic sword dance, even if Cao Pi's swordsmanship from the swordsmanship master Wang Yue's retransmission, but also the gorgeous sword dance in front of the admiration.
It is said that this Gongsun Xiang is a side branch of Gongsun Shu, the emperor of the new Mang, because Gongsun Shu was defeated and the clan was wiped out, his ancestors came to Jiangnan from Yizhou under a pseudonym, and it has been more than 200 years since Gongsun Xiang's generation.
Although this person is young, but the perfect combination of sword dance and music, and finally became a famous sword dance master in the sea, and later this person appeared in Luoyang, openly accepted apprentices to teach skills, and for a while the followers were like clouds, but Gongsun Xiang chose apprentices very strictly, although there were tens of thousands of girls to sign up, she only selected a hundred disciples from it, and later these disciples because of their excellent dancing skills by the Luoyang City officials and nobles sought after, have recruited them to the house, and later the Han Emperor moved the capital from Luoyang to Yecheng, these celebrities for these singers, He gave up many possessions and slaves, and some even gave up his wives and daughters.
Later, Cao Pi abolished the Han Dynasty and became self-reliant, because the palace lacked music and dance singers who could take a shot, so he forcibly recruited these dignitaries, although these dignitaries were reluctant, but they had no choice but to sacrifice them obediently.
Of course, in order to ensure safety, Cao Pi still ordered someone to investigate the origins of these singers, and it turned out that these singers were all from good families, and their identities were innocent, and there could never be any potential safety hazards.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Pi relieved to let these sixty-four singers practice "Emperor Wei Breaking Array Music", and even secretly tracked and investigated these singers and even their mentor Gongsun Xiang.
The people sent by Cao Pi followed it for more than a month and did not find anything abnormal, so they reported it to Cao Pi. Cao Pi saw that these people did not have any abnormal behavior, and even the authenticity of their swordsmanship was identified, so he finally put his mind at ease.
Because in Cao Pi's opinion, those singers' swordsmanship is gorgeous, but if it is used to really fight, it is not worth it, not to mention that Cao Pi also sent someone to check it at the beginning, those swords that look silver are actually just wooden swords sprinkled with silver powder, even if someone really uses them to kill the enemy, it can only be said to be a joke.
Surrounded by sixty-four beauties, it is the mysterious figure called Gongsun Xiang, this person is wearing a fiery red Liuxian skirt, looking fluttering like a fairy, if Liu Qi is here, it can be seen at a glance that this Gongsun Xiang is actually the famous female barracks Zuo Sima, the Han ranger general Sun Shangxiang.
It turned out that Sun Shangxiang used the ninja organization "Manshu Shahua" under his own control to infiltrate the homes of celebrities long before the Han Emperor moved the capital to Yecheng, of course, for their identity, he had the secret help of officials who had already been co-opted by the members of the original "Infernal Affairs" organization, so to this day, even if Cao Pi tried his best to investigate, he couldn't find out at all.
And Sun Shangxiang's own identity is even better, because she claims to have been in Jiangnan, and now Jiangnan is Liu Qi's territory, since someone will cooperate to weave her identity seamlessly, as for this month's Cao Pi spy tracking, naturally she can't hide from Sun Shangxiang, who is good at tracking and assassination, but in order to avoid startling the snake, and at the same time, in order to plan and dispel Cao Pi's suspicions, Sun Shangxiang has always pretended not to find out, and deliberately exposed all his "details".
I know that recently, because Cao Pi's suspicions about them have been eliminated, there have been fewer and fewer interrogations of them, and today because they are busy with banquets, the palace is too busy, and the surveillance of them has been completely revoked, and it is only at this time that Sun Shangxiang proposed her plan to these sixty-four female ninjas.
Because Sun Shangxiang had already brainwashed these female ninjas, and used various favors to bring them to his side, coupled with more than two months of observation and temptation, it was finally determined that all the people were credible, and then he made his own plan.
These sixty-four female ninjas are all elites trained by Sun Shangxiang, especially the eight captains, and they are the best among them, since they came to Dahan, they have been directly trained by Sun Shangxiang, and they have already learned to obey Sun Shangxiang's orders, so although Sun Shangxiang said such a major event as assassinating Cao Pi, no one expressed a trace of surprise and doubt, as if they were ordered to kill a dog.
"After the music and dance start in a while, once I give the signal, Sachiko Sanada will lead seven of your subordinates to stop the east, Taki Riki will lead seven of your subordinates to stop the southeast, Shinji Ohara will lead seven of your subordinates to stop due south, Nozomi Aso will lead seven of your subordinates to stop the southwest, Taki Toya will lead seven of your subordinates to stop the west, Hoshizaki Asami will lead your seven subordinates to stop the northwest, and Ryoko Ozawa will lead seven of your subordinates to assassinate Cao Pi with me."
"No." The eight captains all nodded solemnly, and a faint murderous aura appeared on their bodies.
Sun Shangxiang shouted in a low voice: "Remember what I taught you, the murderous aura is restrained, and it must not be shown lightly, once the murderous aura is emanated, it is the time to kill." ”
"No."
The eight captains listened to Sun Shangxiang's words, and the murderous aura on their bodies immediately dissipated invisibly, and they still looked like those harmless dancing girls of humans and animals. But no one knows, they are like swords hidden in the sheath, if they are not sheathed, they are enough, as long as they are unsheathed, they will definitely make people splatter blood a hundred steps.
At this moment, I heard an old palace man shouting at the throat of the male duck: "Gongsun Xiangle Dance Team, it will be your turn to appear soon, quickly wait in front of the Wuji Palace, just wait for the order, immediately go to the palace to perform the "Wei Emperor Breaking Formation Map" for His Majesty and the adults, His Majesty said that this time as long as you dance well, you will definitely be rewarded." ”
"It's finally here. After this battle, our female ninja will inevitably become famous all over the world. When these sixty-four female ninjas faced such a big event, they didn't have the slightest timidity, but a faint trace of excitement. (To be continued......)
