Chapter 5: Father and Son
After Zhong Yan left with his subordinates, Cao Cao asked, "Zihe, what's the matter?" ”
"Yuan Shuqian is called Zhong's family, and Jiujiang Taishou is Huainan Yin. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info the Gongqing, the northern and southern suburbs of the ancestral hall, have already been called the emperor...."Cao Chun does not call Yuan Shu the table, obviously he doesn't even have basic respect for him, called the emperor, that is the thief, even if it is the fourth and third princes of Runan Yuan, there is no need to respect.
"In the fourth year of the first peace, he was beaten like a lost dog, and now he dares to be called the emperor, and he will be killed." Although he suffered a new defeat, Cao Cao still did not take Yuan Shu in his eyes, but smiled and said that he would crusade against this person.
"Big brother, if the capital has just been set today, someone will call the emperor, if you don't kill the chickens and make an example, I'm afraid that more people will follow suit, we should return to the capital as soon as possible, purge the three armies, and crusade against the traitors." Cao Chun said on the side.
"This is very true, send someone to inform Yachang, and we will return to Xudu." Cao Cao got up immediately after speaking, and he didn't plan to say hello to Zhong Yan, so he was about to leave directly.
Cao Pi and Le Jin got up and followed, while Cao Chun took the first step and found someone to ask for the mounts of Cao Cao and others.
"Wen Qian, you go with Zihe to get the horse." After walking out of the house, Cao Cao walked away, and there were only Cao Cao and Cao Pi on the slow track outside the house.
“..... Wu'er. After the defeat, Cao Cao never spoke to Cao Pi alone, and he didn't talk when he entered the Zhong family manor, but at this time he suddenly spoke.
"People in the Han Dynasty are used to taking nicknames, for example, Cao Cao has nicknames such as Aman and Jili, but among the juniors of the Cao family, except for Cao Pi's younger brother Cao Zhang, who has the nickname Huang Xu'er, no one has a nickname, and Cao Pi doesn't know why, only that Cao Cao and Cao Pi have always called 'Wu'er', because Cao Pi has no crown ceremony now, so there is no table word yet."
"Awn." At the end of the Han Dynasty, although some people were already called 'Dad', it was not too common after all, and most people were still called Ah Weng.
Cao Cao's obscene appearance became even uglier because of his somewhat tangled expression: "This time....... Your brother died in battle, you are the eldest son of your father, and you will need to learn literature and martial arts in the future, and take on the responsibility of helping and rejuvenating the country. ”
"The responsibility of rejuvenating the country, how many people in later generations will call you a thief, do you know?" Cao Pi slandered in his heart, but replied with a smile: "The child should do his best, and then die." ”
These eight words appeared in Zhuge Liang's "Teacher Table" many years later, and now Cao Cao was amazed to say it, Cao Cao is not a loss to write "Artemisia Lixing" and "Watching the Sea" of the literary people, mourning the four words of "bow to the end" several times and then suddenly chant "The surging Jianghan, the era of the southern country, do your best, rather I have it." Then he asked Cao Pi: "Do your best, but this is from this." ”
The source of this sentence is in Cao Pi's body's memory, and he immediately replied: "It is from this "Book of Songs-Xiaoya-April". ”
Cao Cao nodded slightly: "Wu'er is studious and knowledgeable!" mentioned Zheng Kangcheng's matter today, because my father wanted to invite him to Xudu, and he also wanted this person to be my son's chair, and he was the only one who was the master of scripture learning in the world. Speaking of these things, Cao Cao is like an ordinary father who worries about his son's study, not the one who called on the world's heroes to crusade against Dong Zhuo, co-opt the remnants of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and successively fight Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, and Yuan Shao, which somewhat moved Cao Pi, Cao Cao has too many similarities with his father in his previous life, high power, decisive killing, and great expectations for his son, the difference is that Cao Cao's expectations for Cao Pi may be after Cao Ang's death.
At this time, Cao Chunle came to lead the horse, Cao Cao no longer spoke, got on the horse by himself, Cao Pi pulled the reins, stepped on the unilateral horse that was still hanging alone on the side of the saddle, and said that this saddle, Cao Pi also felt a little broken eggs, yes, that is broken eggs, the current saddle technology is really not flattering, although there is a depression in the middle, the shape of the high bridge saddle with upturned on both heads, can limit the situation that the rider on the horse sliding back and forth when riding, but this saddle material, is really hard to death, these days Cao Pi has been riding a horse all the way, I already felt a hot pain in the middle of my ass and my balls, and I was wrapped in a thick layer of burlap outside the wooden saddle? If you don't have leather fibers and natural latex to make regenerated leather, you can always put together a few pieces of rabbit skin, right? Cao Pi admired the sergeant of the tiger and leopard cavalry very much, if it was not for ordinary endurance, it was really difficult to be qualified for cavalry work, not to mention that the armor of the tiger and leopard cavalry was much heavier than that of ordinary sergeants.
If you have the chance, be sure to improve this saddle.... Cao Pi secretly made up his mind.
After the four horses out of the Zhong manor, Cao Cao instructed the soldiers to rest for a night, Tianming immediately rushed to Xudu, no longer rested halfway, late that night, Cao Jun returned to the city of Xu, Cao Cao then ordered Cao Chun, Le Jin and a cadre from the general command of the military to return to their camps, and they took Cao Pi to prepare to enter the city and return to the house under the support of the guards, Xu Du was carefully repaired by Cao Cao, and now there are two cities, the inner city is the imperial city, the outer city is winding and undulating, like a hillock, surrounding the inner city. Although the outer city was not well groomed, it was very large, five times the size of the inner city.
In Cao Pi's memory, Xu Du originally only had the inner city, last year, that is, the first year of Jian'an, the outer city began to be repaired, because the Han Dynasty was set to be the capital here, the Son of Heaven wanted to live in the palace, and the civil and military officials wanted to live in the imperial capital, so it could only be expanded, in just one year, although the city was expanded five times, but the city wall of the outer city is still a high rammed earth mound in many places now, and the bricks were not filled on the outside, so although this imperial city is large, it is a yellow mound of earth surrounded by many houses in the moonlight, and there is no beauty. And it's not as neat as Luoyang Chang'an.
But for the current Han Emperor, it is good to have a place to sleep with peace of mind. Cao Cao's personal guard battalion equipment is very special, in addition to the tiger and leopard cavalry The entire army is wearing black light armor, Cao Cao's personal guard costume is the most special, these personal guards are wearing crotch armor, the bottom of this crotch armor is a good cloth, with silk cotton (cotton wool woven by silk, not cotton), can keep warm, above the silk cotton is a piece of fish scale metal armor, this armor is divided into front and back two sides, tied with shoulder straps, armpits are also fixed with rope straps, front and rear armor are long to the knees, protecting the entire upper body, in addition, There is also a metal helmet on his head, compared to the two simple armors that protect the chest and back of ordinary soldiers, Cao Cao's personal guard's crotch armor is very luxurious, originally this personal guard was led by Dian Wei, but now that Dian Wei is dead, Cao Cao is temporarily in charge of himself.
The special attire of this pro-guard army made the city guards of Xudu recognize it at a glance, and Cao Cao had sent someone to report that he was about to return to the division, so when the group was about five hundred steps away from the gate of Xudu, the city gate had been opened, and dozens of soldiers in armor and armor rushed out of the city gate hulala, divided into two columns, and then one person walked out quickly, straight to Cao Cao.
This person is a high-level person, but his physique is strong, his knotted muscles bulge high under the robe, he wears a military crown, although he has a beard under his forehead, he does not look old, he has a Chinese face, a big nose, big eyes, thick eyebrows, and he does not look angry and arrogant.
This person ran to Cao Cao and knelt down with a "poof", and said continuously, "You can't protect my brother's left and right, my brother is guilty." ”
"Why does Zixiao need to be like this, it's just a trick of a lonely person." Cao Cao said as he dismounted and picked up the man.
Cao Zixiao, that is, Cao Ren, after the Battle of Chibi, steadily blocked Zhou Yu's way to the north, and a few years later, it seems that he repelled Guan Yu's Cao clan generals. Cao Pi has a very good impression of this person, and these impressions come from various film and television works in later generations and his history doctoral director and chess friends.
