Chapter 565: The Han Dynasty Collapses, and the Heroes Dance (14)
Cao Xiu is a straight man. I didn't think much about Xu Huang's words. At the beginning, it was mentioned that Xu Huang had an old affair with Qin Xu, but he just blurted it out in a hurry. After all, if you really talk about the characters related to other forces, your own boss Boss Cao is the first deserved.
Needless to say, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others in the past were iron-beaten, and they worshiped their mothers. Take the current matter as an example, many of Lu Bu's army have been friends with Cao Cao, and Xu You even sat as Lu Bujun's detective, swaggering in Xuchang, if this is also a sin, no, the first person to suspect is Cao Cao himself. Therefore, after coming back to his senses and listening to Xu Huang's explanation, Cao Xiu felt that what Xu Huang said was quite reasonable.
Cao Cao is a complicated character, and it is true that he is violent and does not recognize his six relatives. Otherwise, he would not have made the move of entering the palace in the middle of the night under such a ridiculous banner, but if it is said that he is emotional, Cao Cao should also be the one who will not give in. After gaining power, whether it is an old friend of the clan who came to vote, or a person with a shallow understanding who only has one side, as long as he is capable, even if he does not meet the expected plan, there are few people who are not satisfied. Especially to treat the deceased, not to mention how Cao Cao is in the hearts of others, at least in the "circle", "your wife and I support myself" is not a joke, it comes from Cao Cao's mouth, and he must do what he says. Speaking of which, as a son of Cao Cao's family, Cao Xiu, who was regarded by Cao Cao as his own, didn't he inherit Cao Cao's great favor like this! Therefore, Xu Huang's words, to Cao Xiu's ears, were even more appetizing.
And now the people of the Mi family business house are surrounded by a large army. Unfortunately, it is precisely these types of people who have brought Cao Cao great fame among them. The Mi family didn't talk about him, Xu You was Cao Cao's old friend. When he heard that Xu Yu had surrendered to Lu Bu, Cao Cao regretted it for a long time because he didn't make a timely move. And not to mention Yuan Shang, Yuan Shao was one of the "Three Evils of Luoyang" on the same level as Cao Cao. And when Cao Cao was out of the "honeymoon period", it was when Yuan Shang was young by his side, according to the news that Cao Xiu knew, Cao Cao once thought about accepting Yuan Shang as his son-in-law. With just such two people in it now, it is indeed very difficult to make Cao Xiu, who thinks that Cao Cao is extremely emotional, believe that Cao Cao's purpose is to kill people, so it is easy to be moved by Xu Huang's words.
"Brother Gongming. It's not a way to always rely on this, and the lord has no new order, so what should you do now? Talent does not hurt the wisdom of the lord. And can you control people? Cao Xiu, who stopped for a moment after listening to Xu Huang's words, still remembered Cao Cao's military order after all, and saw that the Mijia firm had not moved since Yuan Shang entered, and his face couldn't help but flash a little irritation. Take a few steps in place. He said to Xu Huang.
"Wen Lie, according to a certain point of view, the key is to see if you have caught the thief who killed the king!" Cao Xiu's patience is really not good, if he continues to block it, Xu Huang really has no tricks, if Cao Xiu really detects his true intentions, even if Xu Huang is very reused by Cao Cao, it will be difficult to get rid of the blame. At this moment, Cao Xiu was anxious to ask. Xu Huang, who had no tricks, could only continue to talk to Cao Xiu, trying to delay this matter for a while. said with a smile: "Measuring him Yuan Shang is just a yellow-mouthed child, and he is so weak that he can't help it, even if he puts it in front of him and allows him to take a stick of incense first, it will be difficult to escape the encirclement and suppression of our army." Didn't Wen Lie already send soldiers to see if the lord had changed his tone, why rush for a while? ”
"Hmm! Then wait? Xu Huang's words didn't make sense, Cao Xiu just nodded, but he immediately frowned, and said to Xu Huang: "No! Wrong! Gongming rarely dealt with Lu Bu, so he didn't know anything. I have long heard that the Lu Bu army makes the best use of strange tricks, and often has the trick of cunning rabbits. Zihe said with him more than once before that when the lord attacked Jinan before, he had suffered a big loss, which made Lu Bujun play tricks and suffer humiliation. This Xu You is a wise man, and he was entrusted to sit in Xuchang to investigate, and he dared to be so swaggering and did not shy away from us, and he must have something to rely on. No, I can't wait, Komeito doesn't have to persuade me anymore! So-and-so has to go in and have a look. ”
"That's it!" Xu Huang saw that Cao Xiu didn't know what he thought, and he would actually get involved in the old incident of Cao Ren and Cao Chun being arrested in Jinan Kingdom, and suddenly had the intention of rushing in. Knowing that it was useless to talk too much, he looked like he was not giving in, and said to Cao Xiu: "What Wen Lie said also makes some sense, and the soldiers are treacherous, but they are thinking too much. That's it, since you and I were sent by the lord together, it is natural for each other to advance and retreat together, you and I will go together, I hope Wen Lie doesn't think that it is just for merit! ”
"Brother Gongming, what are you talking about! If there is merit, it will naturally be shared equally between you and me! Maybe it was Xu Huang's good character in the past that made Cao Xiu doubt everything, or maybe the words of "ulterior motives" just now, in fact, it really touched Cao Xiu's heart, and now seeing Xu Huang's attitude, the only hidden doubt in Cao Xiu's eyes was gone, and he took Xu Huang's arm and said with a smile.
"So much the best!" Xu Huang also showed a very happy look, and ordered Cao Xiu to order the soldiers under his command who had surrounded the Mijia Merchant House across the three horizontal and vertical streets towards the center. Xu Huang even took the lead in leading his soldiers to kick open the door panel of the Mijia Commercial Bank in order to clear his hesitation just now. But when I saw the empty hall in front of me, there was no one in it: "Huh! What's going on? ”
"Brother Gongming, this ...... What's going on? Cao Xiu, who rushed in with Xu Huang, was also surprised because he didn't see the person who had the impression that he was surrounded by a large army hundreds of times his size, and he would inevitably be at a loss, and he heard the sergeant come to report that there was no one in the backyard, so he immediately asked in surprise.
"Come on, let's go upstairs with so-and-so to have a look!" As the seventh largest businessman in the Han Dynasty, the Mi family is naturally wealthy, so the Mi family business house was originally selected as this two-story small building. Now that there is no one on the first floor, those people will inevitably be on the second floor. Xu Huang said first.
"Bright and slow!" Cao Xiu grabbed Xu Huang, chuckled without any expression, and said, "Brother Gongming has just taken the first place, how about giving it to the younger brother generously?" ”
Cao Xiu said, without waiting for Xu Huang to react, he took his own soldiers, drew his blade, stepped up the stairs, and came to the door of the second floor of the Mijia Commercial Bank, as if he inadvertently glanced back at Xu Huang, the corners of his mouth inexplicably hooked a smile, and he reached out to push the door.
"Gentle and slow!" For some reason, Xu Huang's eyes suddenly kept and suddenly shouted.
"Hmm......" Cao Xiu's hand had already touched the closed door panel, and Xu Huang's words only made Cao Xiu's movements pause slightly, and he shook his head, but his hand had already pushed towards the door without hesitation.
"Huh...... Boom! "In an extremely short period of time, magnified ten times only a breath, almost everyone in the room heard a very short strange sound, and then a loud noise rang out in the building. This was accompanied by the screams of several people and the sound of rolling down the stairs.
"This ...... What is it? Cao Xiu's words were almost uttered by shouting. When Lu Bu went to Qingzhou through Yanzhou, Cao Xiu was sent by Cao Cao to Sili to investigate Cao Hong's whereabouts, so he did not participate in the nameless valley battle that made Qin Xu "famous", so although he heard that because of the "natural vision" that day, thunder and fire fell from the sky, making Cao Cao's 40,000 army helpless against Qin Xu, who was only holding hundreds of remnants, but after all, he had never really seen such things that were beyond the cognition of people in this era. And just now, because of the intuition of a battlefield general, when he noticed that something fell because of pushing the door, he subconsciously sensed the danger, took a step back, and made several personal soldiers block in front of him, so that he could be regarded as escaping this disaster, but even so, so far, the tinnitus has been constant, and no sound can be heard.
"This ...... Is it the killer weapon that Lu Wenhou used to win repeatedly? "To be honest, Xu Huang is actually the first time to see this legendary big killer. It was difficult to hide the look of surprise on his face, and it seemed that the rumors that Qin Xu defeated Cao Cao, deterred the Yellow Turban, and Xiatong Pass were not false. This thing is so powerful, those few pro-soldiers who are blocking the front can no longer be called flesh and blood, even Cao Xiu, who had a premonition of danger and reacted quickly, although he was not so seriously injured, it can be seen that the state is not lightly injured, and the seven orifices have been shocked out of blood. This is just a mere one, if hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of these things are used on the battlefield, it is no wonder that in just three years, Lu Bujun has gone from the embarrassed state that even needed to borrow from Yanzhou before, to a heroic party that even Cao Cao has to be afraid of.
In fact, Xu Huang really overestimated the power of this thing. Qin Xu, who used this (harmony) on the battlefield several times, actually knows this thing best because he really hasn't studied this thing very much, so there are many loopholes in the loading, detonation, proportioning and other issues, in terms of power alone, although there is a loud fire, but it is actually not big, used in the war, the power of deterrence, in fact, is far greater than the actual lethality, the first few times it worked, in fact, it was because of the surprise that it had such an exaggerated effect. And the reason why it appears here now is due to the fact that when Qin Xu was in the expedition to Jiangdong, he had "quite meaningful" to ask the Mi family to work on behalf of the family, and the head of the Mi family, after Qin Xu left, he allocated a lot of manpower and material resources to study this thing in depth, and even made some progress, at least in terms of lethality and detonation time, he has made great progress. And just after the Mijia Commercial Bank "part-timed" Qingzhou's sitting and probing function, in order to maintain the greatest degree of secrecy, in addition to the poison used at the critical moment, it was also equipped with an additional one of these things as a key time for the core layer where the more important major forces were located. But he didn't expect that Xuchang, as an "ally", was the first to ring. (To be continued......)
