"Alas, don't mention it, the officers and soldiers called, thinking that there was a little hope, but a few days later, they went back, those who took refuge in the officials and soldiers, but they were unlucky, the people of Taiping Dao said that they are sinners, and their hearts are not strong, and they must be arrested and repented and confessed. He said that he confessed his sins, but what kind of sin did he confess? Could it be that following their yellow turban thieves is what a legitimate person should do? ”

"But what to do, there are a lot of them, those who believe in our village, who originally seemed to be quite kind, but after a few days, they trembled, as if they believed in the Taiping Dao, they were superior, and they were confused by ghosts at every turn, and their Taoist hearts were not strong. I am a ancestor of eight generations, he doesn't want to think about it, his Lao Tzu was sick at the beginning, and it didn't work after drinking Fu Shui, isn't it also that the Dao heart is not strong, but now it's good, he is trembling. ”

"Seriously, the old man has lived for more than sixty years, and the more he looks at this world, the more he doesn't understand. You said that Lord Lu fought a good battle, why did he make a mistake? Replaced by Dong Zhonglang, I heard that he is still a Xiliang man, and he has fought a lot of battles, but I see that the old man is a useless person, and he has not seen him fight with the Yellow Turban for a few months, so he is not as good as the scholar of Lord Lu. What? A famous player in Kansai? I don't think the old man thinks that this Lord Dong won't talk about it, that Lord Huangfu is also a famous general in Xiliang, but this battle is not very good? ”

"Alas, my old man also heard about it, and said that it was not that they didn't want to fight, but that the hussar general didn't let him fight, and said that it was very serious. Holding his grandmother is heavy, if he continues to hold it, the Yellow Turban Army will be trained, and he will have to fight to Luoyang City. ”

“……”

The old man with a furrow face touched his grandson's head and chattered non-stop. He was still holding half a steamed cake in his hand, the steamed cake was yellow, and it seemed that it was mixed with a lot of wheat bran, but the child who was so cold that he still ate and stretched his neck out, and he opened two black and big eyes to look at Tianzi and Jian Shuo, who were pretending to be scholars, hiding behind his grandfather, and did not dare to speak.

The old man touched his grandson's face lovingly: "Good boy, eat slowly, eat slowly." Father, there are still here. I can't starve you. ”

The Son of Heaven's face was very complicated, he glanced at the steamed cake in the old man's hand, and forced a smile: "Is this the cake of General Wei's Mansion, it doesn't look very good." ”

"Well, it's good to have a stutter these days. How can it be too demanding. The old man glanced at the scholar in brocade in front of him with some displeasure, and his tone became bad. In Luoyang City, from the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, down to the officials and nobles, that is, General Wei's Mansion has this kindness, saying that he gave birth to a son, but it was just a concubine born to a orchid. How happy can I be? It's not that we are pitiful, that's why we have such a name. Bad? I don't want to think about how many people there are, General Wei put out the cake on the first day, and even the gate was crowded, it's not that we are not kind, but I'm really afraid that we won't have to eat it when it's late. Is General Wei rich? I've heard that there are so many officials in the court. He is the poorest, in order to have a good year for the Son of Heaven. I owe a lot of debt to the people in Guanzhong. At this time, do you still want to eat any good things? If you stutter, it's good. General Wei is a good person, not like some people, although he has read a lot of books, but he has read all of them to the belly of a dog......"

As he spoke, the old man dragged his grandson and dragged his heavy steps towards the distance. He gave up this good place to be leeward and sunny, obviously not wanting to talk to the two white-skinned and gorgeously dressed scholars in front of him.

Looking at the old man's frozen and cracked heels, and looking at the child's torn winter coat that couldn't cover his buttocks, the face of the Son of Heaven was as if someone had slapped him, and it was hot.

This year was originally good, although the wealth was very embarrassing, but the tribute transported from Bingzhou and Liangzhou made the Son of Heaven's New Year seem to be not much, but the quality was quite high, one person and a bucket of Western Regions wine, but also made those officials who were waiting for the New Year overjoyed, a bucket of grapes is usually worth a thousand yuan, and when the New Year is taken to the wine market to sell for two or three thousand yuan, this is much better than the usual money. And the high-ranking officials of the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries got the jade from Khotan and the animal skins from the Zhongbei Kingdom, although the number is not large, but they are all rare things, and the face of the Son of Heaven is covered.

But the mood of the Son of Heaven was soon ruined by Jian Shuo's unintentional words.

The Son of Heaven occasionally lamented that Shandong had fought a war for a year, and when he was ashamed of God's entrustment, Jian Shuo comforted him and said that although the Yellow Turban was all over Shandong, fortunately, in addition to the battle between the Yellow Turban and the official army, there was not much chaos, you see Yuzhou, Jizhou, it is very quiet, except for more displaced people, but I have not heard of any family killed by the Yellow Turban, which shows that His Majesty's majesty is still there, and the Yellow Turban Army does not dare to mess around.

He didn't say that it was okay, but when he said this, the Son of Heaven became suspicious, and today he called Jian Shuo to pretend to be a scholar together, and went around the vicinity of Taixue in the south of the city, and asked some refugees from other places about the situation of the Yellow Turban Army. Just now this old man came from Anping, which was the hinterland of the Yellow Turban Army, and his dizzy old eyes didn't recognize the two people in front of him at all, and because of this, the Son of Heaven heard the news he didn't want to hear from his mouth.

Zhang Jiao has been in trouble for a year and has not clashed with any family heroes.

"Go back to the palace!" The Son of Heaven turned his head and left, his face pale. Jian Shuo didn't say a word, and followed closely, he knew that he didn't need to say anything more.

Cao Cao was soon summoned into the palace, he saluted, and before he got up, the Son of Heaven said: "Your request, I have granted, I will transfer two thousand war horses from the pastures of Bingzhou and Liangzhou, plus what the Changshui camp has now, you already have nearly three thousand elite horses, you tell me, where do you think it is easier to start?" ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed and said without thinking: "Runan, the minister is willing to assist the right general Huangfu Song, first break the Yellow Turban in Runan, and cut off the connection between Nanyang and the main force of Julu Yellow Turban." ”

The Son of Heaven twisted his eyebrows: "The main force of the Yellow Turban is in Nanyang and Julu, why do you want to pick Runan?" ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the minister is blessed by His Majesty, and the minister is allowed to recruit troops, but the minister can only recruit two or three thousand people at most, plus the Changshui battalion, less than five thousand, and it is mainly recruits." There are nearly 30,000 troops under Nanyang City, and more than 20,000 under Julu City. Although there are many yellow scarves in Runan, they are not as big as Nanyang and Julu. Huangfu Song can hold on to more than 10,000 people for so long, it can be seen that he is a person who knows the soldiers, plus these ministers, it should be possible to reverse the decline, after breaking through Runan, the Yellow Turban contact between Julu and Nanyang is broken, and the minister and Huangfu Song can move to Jizhou or Jingzhou. ”

The Son of Heaven understood, and his heart was even more annoyed. "That's fine. You are well prepared. As soon as the war horse arrives, he will immediately enter the battlefield of Runan, and he must show the prestige of the imperial court. ”

Cao Cao bowed down to receive the order: "The ministers must take the lead, bravely kill the enemy, and live up to Your Majesty's trust." ”

The corners of the Son of Heaven's mouth twitched. He snorted, waved his hand, and motioned for Cao Cao to retreat.

Cao Cao saluted, withdrew from the hall, and stood in the warm winter sun, his heart warm. The opportunity has finally arrived. The Son of Heaven wants to knock Zhang Jiao and make him shake, this battle must be fought well, as long as it is fought, he is another knife in the hands of the Son of Heaven, which can not only cut Zhang Jiao, but also persecute Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

"Hehe......" the corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched. But his face was silent, and he hurried out of the palace. Go home now. His father Cao Song and uncle Cao Chi were talking in the hall, and when they saw his hurried appearance, they exchanged a look, and their eyes showed surprise.

"How?"

"The Son of Heaven agreed, and asked me to recruit men immediately, and as soon as the war horses arrived, I would march to Runan and join forces with Huangfu Song."

"Okay." Cao Song slapped his thigh hard, thought about it, and said, "Liu Xiu won't delay over there, right?" ”

"No, it won't." Cao Cao smiled slightly: "He has already informed Zhao Yun and Jia Xu to prepare the war horse, just wait for the money to arrive, and the war horse can be shipped." He thought for a moment and then said, "We can't sit back and wait, immediately let Weizi and them bring people to the Changshui camp for training." The Changshui camp now has nearly 2,000 war horses, you can let them get familiar with it first, otherwise when the war horses arrive, they will need time to practice. ”

"That's very good." Cao Chi stroked his beard, nodded and agreed: "Although it is a lot more convenient with the help of this stirrup, if a foot soldier wants to become a real horseman, this practice is indispensable." These thousands of people are most of our family's assets, and they can't be careless. ”

"Uncle, please rest assured, I have been fighting for several years, and I still know the truth of this fierce battle."

Cao Chile was happy: "It seems that this battlefield can indeed train people, and that kid from my family should also go to the battlefield to hammer and hammer." ”

"You mean Zixiao? Too small, right? I remember that it was only fifteen years after the New Year. Cao Song frowned: "Although his martial arts are good, when he reaches the battle array, he can save his life without martial arts, in case it ......"

"Brother, are you worried that he will be disobedient?" Cao Chi smiled slightly, "Don't worry, since my uncle is willing to listen to Meng De's command, what else does Zixiao dare to say?" Don't worry, as long as he dares to turn back on Mao, I don't need Meng De to speak, I will peel his skin. ”

Cao Cao smiled, Cao Song They are talking about Cao Chi's son Cao Ren Cao Zixiao, Cao Ren is only fifteen years old this year, but like when he was a child, he was so stubborn that it gave people a headache, relying on his good martial arts, causing trouble everywhere. When Xiahou Yuan and others were in their hometown, Cao Ren played behind their buttocks, and was somewhat restrained, since Xiahou Yuan arrived in Luoyang, Cao Ren became the boss, with a group of sons who were about the same age everywhere, and there were many troubles, it is said that there are several robberies in Qian County that may have been caused by this kid.

If you want to get Cao Ren into the army and discipline him well, he is indeed a good hand, but if you can't control him, this is definitely a black sheep. When the time comes, if you make a mistake and punish him, you will hurt your uncle's face, and if you don't punish him, how can you serve the public? Cao Song's worries also came out of this, Cao Chi knew it, and made a promise in front of him, which made him really difficult to refuse.

Cao Cao didn't want to refuse, first, he was more stubborn than Cao Ren when he was a child, and the basket he stabbed was bigger than Cao Ren, he believed that Cao Ren was not incorrigible, but he had too much energy, and there was no place to use his intelligence. Just like war horses, most honest horses don't have much talent, and the kind of fierce horses that look unflattering can be more warlike than honest horses once tamed.

What's more, Cao Chi also made such a guarantee in front of him. His uncle Cao Chi is not a person who does not know soldiers, he has been a captain of Changshui, although he has not been to the battlefield in person, but he still knows the rules of the army.

What's more, although the Cao family is quite powerful, but it bears the name of eunuch, how many scholars are willing to help him? The only people he can rely on are the brothers in the clan, if he doesn't dare to use it because Cao Ren is stubborn, who else can he use?

"Father, I believe that Zixiao will be a fierce tiger of my Cao family."

Seeing this, Cao Song didn't say much.

On the eighteenth day of the first month of the fifth year of Guanghe, just after the end of the Shangyuan Festival, Liu Xiu said goodbye to the Son of Heaven and rushed to Chang'an with Fengxue and his newborn son, leaving only Wang Chu to take care of the industry in Chang'an.

On the same day, Wei Zi arrived at the Changshui camp in Luoyang with more than 2,000 elite soldiers. Hearing the news, Liu Xiu, who was hugging his son silly music, provoked a touch of pride on the corner of his mouth, and then regained his composure. Liu Xie, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly jumped up, pointed at Liu Xiu and shouted, "Ah Weng, who are you trying to deceive?" ”

Liu Xiu was a little embarrassed: "Who said I wanted to deceive people?" Have I ever lied to someone? ”

Liu Xie laughed proudly: "Ah Weng, I saw it, you laughed so badly just now." ”

Liu Xiu made a grimace and blinked his eyes deliberately aggrievedly, which made Liu Xie and Liu He very happy, but he was a little ashamed in his heart, he was really carried away, and even a child could see it. However, he did feel a little proud in his heart, but he just woke up Jian Shuo and knocked the side drum for Cao Cao, and now this solid ice was gently broken by him. Zhang Jiao needs time to dig deep roots, he wants to sit big in the people, the Yuan family wants to take this opportunity to master the military power, and sit big in the court, the Son of Heaven is kept in the dark by them, and they think that their hands are left and right, and they are determined to be a fisherman, and if they don't wake him up, have they been doing this wrong?

Yes, I don't have the deep connections of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, nor do I have the millions of believers that Zhang Jiao has been running for more than ten years, but I can make you pinch, and it is not the Son of Heaven who benefits in the end, but me.

It's me. Liu Xiu hugged his son, leaned against the wall of the carriage, his eyes fell on Liu Xie's little face, and suddenly thought of a question, can I, a mixed-race son, be his opponent in the future? Liu Xie's kid is a little ridiculously smart, not only smart, but also a little ridiculously good, maybe it's the reason why he often practices martial arts after him, this kid is only six years old, but he can ride a horse, drive a bow, and his archery skills are still decent, it doesn't matter if he can become a fierce general - even if he does, it is impossible to let him go to the battlefield - his physical strength is not comparable to his weak father.

And this mixed-race son in his arms may not be worse than him in all aspects, but he has a natural shortcoming, his mother is not only a concubine, but also a bearded girl, and with this alone, his future road will be much more difficult. Yuan Shao has always been looked down upon by Yuan Shu because he is a concubine, so how can such a child with Hu blood be capable?

It seems that we have to work harder with the eldest princess and give birth to a pure-blooded eldest son as soon as possible, otherwise we won't be in a hurry. I can't put so much effort into it, but it's to train a successor for others, Dad knows, he must be lucky.

Alas, where is this dragon now, Daddy, I haven't shown up for a long time, nothing will happen, right? (To be continued.) )
