Chapter 733: The Cao Family's Son
Amazing? Furious?
No, no!
These words are not right, if you have to use one word to describe the sky at this moment, then it can only be - against the sky!
This is the most apt and intuitive description!
He was wearing Wang Xu's set of gold-inlaid dragon and tiger armor, carrying Wang Xu's fire dragon spear, he was also a pioneer and brave, but if he really looked closely, he would find that it was very different, if Wang Xu was a raging flame, illuminating the way forward for everyone behind him, then Xiangtian was a gloomy magic sword, sharp, ferocious, and wild!
Not only did he frighten the enemy, but even his comrades behind him were equally terrified, and he didn't even dare to get too close, for fear that the crazy man would accidentally hurt his own people.
Even if they knew intellectually that it was impossible, the feeling was fear!
However, at this moment, Xiang Tian is at least successfully doing what he should do!
As an arrow, as the vanguard of the bloody road, absolutely no one said that he did not do well, no matter how dense and orderly Cao Jun's array was, no matter how elite those soldiers were, no one could stop him from rushing forward, he may not be able to face everyone alone, but he could always tear open a hole that made Cao Jun's heart ache, so that the Chu State Iron Cavalry behind him could easily continue to cut this hole and continue to enlarge it.
Even those generals of the Cao Army had solemn faces, and none of them dared to rush to stop them!
"This is Wang Xu?"
Wen Chou, who was watching from afar, had a relative, he had only heard of Wang Xu's martial arts, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. I always thought it was a cloud of people. The world's praise and exaltation are just that. can see the figure now, and the shock in my heart is indescribable.
"It's so strong!" Cao Zhang is the highest martial artist among Cao Cao's many sons, and he has always been arrogant, but at this time, he rarely showed a look of respect.
"I'm going to fight him!" Although Xu Chu's face was solemn, there was a hidden disbelief between his eyebrows.
"Wait!" Le Jin reached out in time to grab his arm and shook his head gently: "General Xu, don't forget the lord's explanation!" ”
Xu Chu also came up with a temperament, and at this time, under the reminder of Le Jin, he remembered Cao Cao's instructions earlier. He slapped his hand away with some irritation, and said with annoyance: "Then Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide haven't made a move until now, if Wang Xu really runs away, then it is really impossible to explain!" ”
"General Xu doesn't need to worry, Guan and Zhang are probably observing, they will never watch Wang Xu escape, especially Uncle Liu Huang, he will not let Wang Xu go lightly." A magnetic, elegant voice came, interrupting the generals' discussions.
When everyone looked back, it turned out to be Cao Cao's eldest son. Cao Ang!
This Cao Ang was born to Cao Cao's eldest son, his wife Liu. However, due to the early death of his biological mother, he was raised by the Ding family of the main room, both civil and military, intelligent and modest, generally knowledgeable, and intelligent, very popular with Cao Cao, and can even be said to be Cao Cao's favorite successor.
After the Cao family's forces gradually stabilized, Cao Cao almost every time he went on a big expedition, he had to let this son follow, firstly, to cultivate, and secondly, to identify with his ability!
Historically, Cao Ang has been by Cao Cao's side, fighting in the south and the north until the time of the western expedition to Zhang Xiu, because of that lustful father, he tragically went to death.
At that time, Zhang Xiu had surrendered, Cao Cao was happy, he wanted to find a beautiful woman, and by chance, he fell in love with Zhang Xiu's aunt, that is, the widow of his uncle Zhang Ji.
At this time, Zhang Xiu's heart had not been able to settle down, and he was in a state of hesitation, but Cao Cao actually sent someone to take his aunt away, of course, he was resentful, and immediately decided to rebel overnight!
In the end, he preempted Cao Cao and led his troops into Cao's camp!
In this battle, two things happened that have been passed down through the ages, one is that Dian Wei alone blocked Zhang Xiu's pursuers, fought to the death and did not retreat, and a generation of loyal and brave righteous soldiers died meaninglessly on the battlefield!
The other is that Cao Ang fought to the death to protect his father, and a generation of talents died tragically!
Many stories that have been passed down through the ages also come from this dramatic battle full of tragedy, such as Hu Che'er stealing the Dian Wei double halberd and so on!
Maybe it was because Dian Wei's death was too heroic and too tragic, coupled with Cao Ang's own identity as Cao Cao's son, so that Cao Ang's death was not so dazzling, but in fact, how could he not be sad? Why not? Isn't it sighing?
In fact, Cao Cao is also heartbroken, if you look closely, you can find that since that battle, Cao Cao's lustful behavior can be said to have been greatly reduced.
After Cao Ang's death, Cao Cao's main wife, that is, Cao Ang's adoptive mother Ding, scolded him for killing his son, and was so painful that he returned to his hometown and lived alone. Cao Cao went to ask her back twice and three times, but ignored her at all, and finally even completely cut off the relationship with Cao Cao.
What was this concept like in those days? Who is Cao Cao?
Mrs. Ding's audacity to do this!
But the strange thing is that Cao Cao went cheekily a few times, begged each other softly, and finally saw that his mind was decided, and he really left in silence, and then Cao Pi's mother, Mrs. Bian, did the main room!
What's even more terrifying is that the original text of the fundamental "Wei Luo" record is: If you want your family to marry her, your family doesn't dare.
It shows that he even took the initiative to help Ding's family find a new husband, and he couldn't bear to die alone, which is really incredible, but it's a pity that no one dares to marry!
Therefore, I can't help but say that there is definitely a reason for Cao Ang in this!
Because he will always think of Cao Ang in his heart, and think of this son who satisfies him the most, he is ashamed, he is painful, and he wants to make amends!
The best proof is that before he died, the last thing he thought of was Cao Ang.
The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms Pei notes the record of "Wei Luo". After Taizu was sick and couldn't afford to worry about himself, he sighed: I have never had a negative heart before and after. If I had died and had a spirit, if my son asked, 'Where is my mother?' ”
It means that I have never felt sorry for anyone in my life, but if there is a soul after death, if the son asks me where his mother is, how should I answer?
Zi Wei is Cao Ang's word, Cao Cao has not regretted killing so many people unjustly in his life, but he said this, it can be seen that Cao Cao's favorite son and the son with the most high hopes are Cao Ang.
According to historical records, even Cao Pi once admitted it in public, which means that if the eldest brother Cao Ang is here. He shouldn't be the emperor. Because the sons of the Cao family will not fight at all. No one dares to fight!
Even later, Cao Cao favored Cao Zhang and Cao Chong. is also because of Cao Zhang and Cao Chong, one has Cao Ang's love for martial arts, and the other has Cao Ang's cleverness!
This is the only pain hidden in Cao Cao's heart in his life, he saw many children die early, but he has never been on his lips at such a moment, and he never forgets it, but he only cares about Cao Ang so much, and it has become a concern that is difficult to give up before he dies. It shows how much Cao Ang is loved by him.
However, in order to make a man like Cao Cao love, it is obviously not enough to be a father and son, he must be outstanding and must be a dragon among people!
Fortunately, the wheel of history has changed dramatically, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew failed to escape to Nanyang after the defeat of Si Li's army, and Zhang Ji did not die in the hands of Liu Biao, but chose to take refuge directly with Cao Cao in a desperate situation. became an important figure in the Xiliang faction in the Cao camp, and Cao Ang also escaped his own catastrophe by luck.
Cao Jun's generals knew it in their hearts. Cao Ang is now Cao Cao's successor, so when he rode his horse, everyone gave up their hands as courtesy.
"Eldest son!"
"The eldest son is also here, I don't know what the lord has to order?"
In the face of the generals' inquiries, Cao Ang politely returned the salute and said with a smile: "What my father means is to hope that your uncles will be wronged this time and give the credit to Uncle Liu Huang!" Everyone is a minister in the same court, and sometimes there is a line, and it is a good thing to be a little humble! ”
Cao Ang's words are not leaky, but what smart people don't know in their hearts.
They looked at each other with a smile, and then responded in unison: "The last general and others should remember the teachings of the Lord!" ”
Only the young Cao Chang was rough and arrogant, and he was a good hand at marching and fighting, but he was ignorant of these scheming methods, and complained with a little dissatisfaction.
"Big brother! Why do you want to give it to that Liu Bei, I can't get used to his appearance, he is moody and gloomy all day long, and he always feels uneasy! ”
Cao Ang smiled, neither scolded him nor explained anything, but just relieved: "Brother Zhang, you are simple-minded and straightforward, and it is understandable that you do not agree with him, but after all, he is the emperor's uncle today, and he should still be respected!" ”
"Humph!"
Cao Zhang snorted dissatisfiedly, obviously this was not fighting for Cao Ang, but for Liu Bei, but he seemed to listen to Cao Ang's words, and then he was silent, sulking alone.
After another moment, the soldiers and horses of the Chu State who broke through in the distance had become more and more brave and unstoppable, and Ju Yi, who was sitting there, had even commanded his first dead soldier to go up.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Cao Ang was shocked, his forehead furrowed slightly, and his handsome face showed a little doubt.
"That's not right! Not quite right! ”
"No, what's wrong?" Xu Chu, who was very close to him, asked in a rough voice.
"Why doesn't that person look like Uncle Ziyang?" Cao Anghu wondered.
In fact, Cao Ang is not much younger than Wang Xu, but because Wang Xu and Cao Cao are also enemies and friends, and they used to be brothers, he has always called him uncle.
In the early years, when the emperor was still alive, Wang Xu went to Luoyang to report for a long time, during which he had a lot of contacts with Cao Cao, so he was also very familiar with Cao Ang, at that time Cao Ang had always intersected with Wang Xu as a junior.
Even after Cao Cao and Wang Xu became the biggest opponents, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and all his younger brothers and sisters changed their words, but Cao Ang was the only one who always called Wang Xu his uncle before and after, and maintained respect in words.
At that time, many people were puzzled, when Cao Cao feasted his ministers, someone asked him: The two armies are like fire and water, and the eldest son is so noble, so called, doesn't it increase the prestige of the enemy?
Unexpectedly, Cao Ang smiled slightly, got up and replied, "Can't you respect each other because you are hostile to each other?" The father and Uncle Ziyang had a good relationship in their early years, and they became confidants, which is a private relationship! It is a matter of state to move towards hostility because of the current situation in the world! The public is public, and the private is private! ”
"The public, the sons will try their best to fight each other and spare no effort! Private, Uncle Ziyang and my Cao family have no personal enmity so far, why can't they be called by their elders, this is a courtesy! If you don't know etiquette, how can you set the troubled times and rule the world? ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed heartily on the spot, praising Cao Ang's chest and hiding righteousness, which can rule the world! (To be continued......)
