Chapter 61: First Encounter with Cao Mengde
If there is any regret that Huangfu Song has after the victory in this battle, it is that he failed to capture Bo Cai, the commander of the thief army who had forced him into an embarrassment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Therefore, when he heard the report of the guards, Cao Cao actually caught the fleeing Yellow Turban Daqu Shuai Bocai, and Huangfu Song immediately stood up from the seat: "Hurry up and invite that Cao Cao into the house!" ”
Cao Cao once served as the northern governor of Luoyang, but because his father Cao Song was adopted as an adopted son by the eunuch Cao Teng, Cao Cao was recognized by Shilin at that time as being implicated in the eunuch party, and was suppressed and excluded by his colleagues everywhere.
Later, Cao Cao caught the eunuch Jian Shuo's uncle Jian Tu violating the prohibition of night walking during a night patrol, and in order to show his position, Cao Cao was merciless and executed Jian Tu with the five-color stick he founded. Cao Cao, who executed Jian Tu, his position was revealed, but he also offended Jian Shuo and other eunuchs, although he had the relationship of his grandfather Cao Teng to help Cao Cao, and finally Cao Cao was transferred from Luoyang and sent to Dunqiu to make a small Dunqiu order.
Cao Cao cherished the community, so he naturally refused to live in Dunqiu for the rest of his life. After the turmoil subsided, Cao Cao operated through his home and returned to Luoyang as a councillor. Shortly before Cao Cao returned to Luoyang, the generals Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan plotted to kill the eunuchs, but they were framed and imprisoned for the eunuchs and finally killed.
Cao Cao saw that the turmoil had been settled at this time, and the eunuchs and his party did not dare to be too arrogant, so he repeatedly wrote to the imperial court to rehabilitate the general Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan, and also gained a lot of favor in Luoyang Shilin. It was during this period of time that he had a lot of presence, when Zhang Jiao raised the flag in Jizhou and the Yellow Turban Army was in turmoil, Cao Cao was appointed as a cavalry lieutenant and led the thousands of elite cavalry tanks allocated by the imperial court to quell the rebellion.
Huangfu Song, as the current head of the Huangfu family of Guanxi Jiangmen, although he did not have any dealings with Cao Cao when he was an official in Luoyang, he had also heard of Cao Cao's reputation. It's just that Huangfu Song didn't expect that Cao Cao came all the way from Luoyang, and he happened to meet the decisive battle between himself and Bocai. What he didn't expect was that Bo Cai, the commander of the thief army, who he had not been able to capture, was captured by Cao Cao.
Glancing at Wu Yi on the side, Huangfu Song had to sigh that these juniors are more powerful than the other, perhaps after solving Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban rebellion, the responsibility of guarding the Han Sheji will be transferred to the shoulders of rising stars such as Cao Cao and Wu Yi in the near future.
"The last general Cao Cao, see General Huangfu!" Cao Cao's appearance is very eye-catching, not because Cao Cao's appearance is outstanding, but because there is a wave who is escorted by Cao Ren to follow him.
Huangfu Song walked up to Cao Cao in three steps and two steps to help him up: "As soon as Cao Duwei arrived in Yingchuan, he intercepted thousands of carts of grain and grass and captured the thief general Bocai, which is really a blockbuster." ”
Cao Cao laughed: "What did General Huangfu say, if it wasn't for General Huangfu leading the army to fight a bloody battle, where would the last general have the opportunity to build such a feat?" ”
Huangfu Song patted Cao Cao's shoulder to show encouragement, and then turned his gaze to the disgraced Bocai: "Bocai, when you rebelled against my Han Jiangshan Sheji, did you ever think of today's misfortune?" ”
Bo Cai glanced at the complacent Huangfu Song, and replied with a numb expression: "The winner is the king and the loser Kou, if it weren't for the sudden gale last night, Anzhi knows who is the master of the hall and who is the prisoner at this time?" ”
Huangfu Song saw that there was still a trace of unconvincing in Bocai's tone, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Until now, do you still think that last night's attack was really a coincidence?" ”
Bo Cai sneered: "If it's not a coincidence, could it be that you also learned the immortal art of my Taiping Dao, and before the battle, you went to the altar to summon that strong wind to help the fire?" ”
"Hahaha, it seems that you will let you lose if you wait for the stupid thief General. Wu Yi and Wu Ziyuan, the commanders of the Fu Army under my command, calculated that there must have been a strong wind last night a few days ago. It is precisely for this reason that our army has allowed you to build siege equipment outside the city for the past few days, and has devoted all its energy to the night attack last night. "Huangfu Song was extremely complacent about his ability to recruit such a virtuous talent as Wu Yi, and when he saw that Bo Cai was not convinced, he showed Wu Yi's 'credit', in order to convince Bo Cai.
"Wu Yi? Is that Wu Yi again? Bo Cai gritted his teeth with hatred for Wu Yi, who had ruined the good deeds of the Yellow Turban Army several times. Seeing the handsome young man summoned by Huangfu Song, if it weren't for the fact that his hands were tied and suppressed by Cao Ren at the moment, he would die with this person even if he fought to the death.
Cao Cao and Cao Ren on the side didn't know the whole story of last night's battle, but listening to Huangfu Song's words, it seemed that it was the young man in front of him who single-handedly planned last night's battle. Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but take a good look at Wu Yi, and they would no longer despise him because of the young age shown by his appearance.
Seeing Bo Cai's hideous expression, Huangfu Song was already very satisfied: "Take him down to take care of him, and then arrange for someone to escort him to Luoyang tomorrow." ”
"No." Outside the door, several guards walked in, took over Bocai from Cao Ren, and took him into the city prison.
Huangfu Song asked Cao Cao's seat to be placed next to Wu Yi, but he deliberately wanted these two rising stars to get along more. Cao Cao and Cao Ren didn't eat much all day, and as soon as they sat down, they started to eat first, and when Wu Yi waited for Cao Cao to eat about the same, he took the lead in raising the wine cup and saluted: "I heard that Cao Duwei also served in the general's mansion, I don't know if I have ever seen my uncle Wu Kuang?" ”
"Isn't it Wu Kuang, the captain of Zhongyi?" After Cao Cao returned the salute to Wu Yi, he asked tentatively.
"Exactly, I wonder if my uncle is still in good health?"
"Ah, your uncle has lived in the barracks all year round, but I have rarely seen him once. But the last time we met, seeing that he was strong and ruddy, he should be in good health. "Cao Cao has only just joined the general He Jin in the last year or two, while Wu Kuang has been the confidant of the general He Jin for many years. Naturally, there was not much intersection between Cao Cao and Wu Kuang, but at this time, Wu Yi was embarrassed to say that he didn't know about Cao Cao, so he could only tell Wu Yi with an ambiguous answer.
In fact, Wu Yi didn't care too much about his uncle Wu Kuang, and the reason why he mentioned him was just to find a topic to talk about with Cao Cao.
However, when Cao Cao knew that Wu Yi was still related to the henchmen of the great general He Jin, he couldn't help but become more curious about Wu Yi: "I heard that General Huangfu mentioned the name of Wu Duwei a few days ago, Cao seemed to be a little familiar, and then I thought about it carefully, could it be Wu Yi and Wu Ziyuan, who broke Bian Xi in Chen Liuda and poisoned Wu Ziyuan in Dongjun some time ago?" ”
"No, it's down." Wu Yi didn't have any color on his face, because he knew that the benevolent brother in front of him was Cao Cao Mengde, who single-handedly founded the Cao Wei regime in history.
