readx; Cao Wenzhao originally thought that since the emperor's holy decree, Nanjing's civil and military officials would definitely follow the decree and send troops to quell the rebellion. www.biquge.info Led by Chang Yinxu and Hu Yingtai, no one openly resisted the order, but he always said that Nanjing was seriously threatened, and he was too busy to take care of himself, and he could not send troops at all.

The identities of these two people also do not belong to military attachés, and Zhu Youzhen's holy decree only said that Cao Wenzhao could control the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Guard, but did not say that he should control all the officials in Nanjing. Hu Yingtai took advantage of this loophole and asked the civilian officials of the Nanjing Military Department to speak one after another. The so-called public mouth is golden, Cao Wenzhao can't say dozens of their mouths with one mouth. Seeing this situation, Cao Wenzhao had no choice but to close his mouth knowingly.

In the end, Hu Yingtai asked Cao Wenzhao to play jointly with him and Chang Yinxu, this trick is really damaging. Obviously, they refused to obey the edict, so it seemed that Cao Wenzhao advocated defending Nanjing, and they cleared the suspicion of resisting the edict. But in this situation, how could Cao Wenzhao still say half a word, so he had to sign his name in the recital drafted by Hu Yingtai against his will, thinking that the hero would not suffer the immediate loss, and when he returned to the army, he would quickly use the flying pigeon to pass the book to the emperor to explain the truth.

However, Hu Yingtai still did not let Cao Wenzhao go, and ordered a banquet to welcome Guan Ning's iron cavalry to help Nanjing. Not only Cao Wenzhao, but also Cao Bianjiao and officers at all levels in the army were also invited. The so-called "stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person", people were kind enough to buy wine and hospitality, and Cao Wenzhao was not easy to refuse, so he had to sit at the table with all the officers.

At the banquet, Chang Yinxu and Hu Yingtai touted the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and took turns with dozens of civil and military officials to toast Cao Wenzhao. People's status and official qualities are higher than their own, and Cao Wenzhao has no choice but to refuse those who come and accompany them one by one. Usually he doesn't like to drink, and after a while he gets drunk, and he doesn't know what happened next.

When he woke up, Cao Wenzhao had a splitting headache, and forced him to open his sleepy eyes and look around. It didn't matter, but it startled him: he was not in the barracks, but lying in a pink curtain, naked under the brocade quilt; There was also a strange woman lying beside him, with a beautiful face, also untouched, and was wrapping her arms around his chest like jade lotus. Seeing Cao Wenzhao wake up, the woman smiled and said, "The general is so sleepy!" I was heavy after eating and drinking last night, do you still have a headache? How about the slave family pour you a cup of sobering tea? ”

Cao Wenzhao was taken aback, and pushed the woman away suddenly, Huo Di sat up from the bed, and while hurriedly getting dressed, he asked with a flushed face, "Who are you?" What is this place and why am I here? ”

The woman came up again, and said with a soft smile to the bones: "The general is so powerful, how can he be so unkind and cherish the jade!" The slave's name is Yurou, and she is the top girl in Cuiyan Building. This is, of course, the Cuiyan Building, where the general was sent here after being drunk last night, and it was the slave family who served you for one night. The general is a hero of the world, but don't forget the joy of this night..."

Cao Wenzhao "buzzed" in his mind, and at the same time he was furious, and threw Yurou out with a flick of his hand. Ignoring Yurou's screams, he strode out of the room, and saw that he was on the second floor of an elegant small building. I just wanted to rush downstairs, but I heard a familiar voice next door.

Cao Wenzhao understood after listening to a few words, and couldn't help but rush into anger and kick the door with his foot. Accompanied by the woman's frightened screams, the disheveled Cao Bianjiao stood in the room awkwardly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Cao Wenzhao's hand was a golden slap. This slap was so powerful that half of Cao Bianjiao's face was swollen and he fell to his knees in fright.

"Bastard! What the hell is going on?! Cao Wenzhao roared sharply.

"Uncle is angry!" Cao Bianjiao said half-scared and half-aggrieved, "My nephew was also drunk last night, and he was sent here in a daze." I asked this woman just now, and I found out that it was sent by the officer of Nanjing Yulinwei..."

At this time, several Guanning Iron Cavalry officers who had attended the banquet last night also came out of a nearby room, blushing and not saying a word. Cao Wenzhao was ashamed and angry, and stomped his feet violently and said: "Don't be embarrassed here, don't leave quickly!" ”

Several people escaped from Cuiyan Building in embarrassment, and found that it was already sunset. Cao Wenzhao was remorseful, and hurried back to the station of Guanning Tieqi in the city, and the first thing he did was to summon the Chinese officer in charge of the flying pigeon to pass the book, and prepare to immediately send a secret letter to the emperor to report the situation in Nanjing.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese officer knelt down with a sad face and pleaded guilty: "The last general is guilty, the carrier pigeon last night... All dead! ”

"What's going on?!" Cao Wenzhao was taken aback and asked sharply.

The Chinese officer hurriedly explained, and the more Cao Wenzhao listened, the more frightened he became, and finally understood that he had fallen under the path of Hu Yingtai and others. It turned out that they were drunk at the banquet last night, and some were sent to Qinglou, and another went to work in the Guanning Iron Cavalry Army to give wine and meat. The soldiers did not suspect fraud, and everyone rejoiced. There are also people who specially send pigeon food to the carrier pigeons in the army, saying that this pigeon food is carefully prepared, and the pigeons are more powerful and fly faster after eating.

The lieutenant officer did not suspect it at all, and happily fed the pigeons with new pigeon food. Unexpectedly, in the second half of the night, all the pigeons began to diarrhea, and all of them died in less than an hour.

Combined with the before and after, Cao Wenzhao has already figured it out. This must be because Hu Yingtai and others didn't want to let themselves pass the book to the emperor, so they did this plan. Now that he is staying in the Qinglou overnight, he has a handle in the hands of others, and the carrier pigeon is dead again; wants to come to the door to theorize, but I feel that Hu Yingtai and others are cunning, as long as people don't admit it, they can't say anything. So I couldn't help but be very annoyed, and beat my head again and again.

At this time, a soldier reported that Huang Degong and Weng Yu had come to visit. Cao Wenzhao thought that these two people were quite friendly and straightforward, so he had to go out of the camp to greet them. After the two of them were connected and the guests were seated, Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but be in a trance because of his heavy heart. Weng Yu saw that something was wrong and hurriedly asked why. Cao Wenzhao is a straight person, he can't hide things in his heart, and he feels that he has been greatly wronged, so he said it like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

"Dogs, look at these ordinary people who look like dogs and are sanctimonious, I didn't expect it to be so shameless!" Huang Degong was furious when he heard this, and he said, "General Cao, you have a holy purpose, what are you afraid of what they will do?" It's better to lead the troops into the military headquarters to take over the military power, and whoever wants to disobey will take them down! There are also more than 2,000 people under the last general, as long as General Cao trusts the last general, the last general is willing to serve the dead! ”

Cao Bianjiao and others were also indignant and clamored to go to the military department to seize power. Weng Yu hurriedly stopped: "You can't make mistakes!" ”
