Chapter VII. Arranged Marriages
When the news of Xiahou Yuan's death reached Cao Cao's ears, Cao Cao screamed, rolled his eyes as well, and immediately fainted - this was not because he was too sad, but because he had a headache that had not been done for a long time, and it was extremely violent, as if a hammer had hit the back of his head, which directly made him faint.
After finally waking up, Cao Cao cried loudly: "It's painful! He cried for a long time, and then temporarily put away his sorrow, and took the military newspaper to watch it carefully. This military report was written by Sima Yi, who was guarding Chang'an, Sima Zhongda was cautious, and he was very careful and meticulous in his work, and he called several defeated soldiers to ask repeatedly in advance, and then summarized the overall process of the battle, and almost no details were omitted, and all of them were recorded. Cao Cao looked at it now, and the more he looked at it, the more annoyed he became, and he couldn't help but scold: "Lonely and forbidden: 'When there is cowardice, you can't be brave. will be based on courage and wisdom; But knowing Ren Yong, a horse is an enemy. He did not listen to good words, but now he heard. ”
You said that as the commander of the army, you need to control the battle situation in the central and western regions as a whole, even if you want to attack and harass the enemy's rear as planned, then there is no reason to personally lead the cavalry into battle? And they threw the infantry far behind. When you know that you are in ambush, you will almost escape, and you have to go back to rescue the rear army, so that you will be caught up by Liu Bei's Yizhou army. Well, even if you love soldiers like a son, you don't want to lose too many elite cavalry here, so hurry up and leave after you save it, who can't stay behind? Are you going to cut off the Lord himself? It's not (death!)
You are gambling that there are not enough cavalry in Yizhou, and there are no real brave generals in Yizhou, which is the same as your usual habit of marching and fighting. "Go to the emergency. often surprise the enemy". It's all gambling. If you are a general of another department, you have to gamble when you should bet, but as a responsibility, where is your turn to go into battle shirtless to bet with others?!
I was afraid that you would make the same mistake again, so I summoned the ministers, planned repeatedly, and listed various contingency plans for you, and followed my plan. Even if there is a defeat, it will not cause major losses. But who would have thought that you would be in front of you in person, and you would bravely break the back—the Lord will be dead, and you will not be able to gain it without much loss!
Cao Cao was sad and ashamed, and the headache was blazing again, and he couldn't walk for several days. He originally thought that his old illness had been cured, so this time he went out of the school, Hua Tuo said I don't want to follow - anyway, you are not sick or painful, and you are traumatized. It is enough to have a few of my disciples to heal - I want to go back to my hometown to save my relatives, and Cao Cao smiled and agreed. This time there is no way. Hurriedly sent someone to rush to Qian County to summon Hua Tuo over.
Besides, when the news of Xiahou Yuan's death reached Anyi, it was Xun who sighed. He said in his heart that I used the small wings of a butterfly to live a lot of people, and I also delayed the death of several people - for example, Tai Shici - but the way of heaven or the loss must be made up, since there are those who die late, it is estimated that there will be those who die early-for example, Xiahou Miaocai. In the original history, Xiahou Yuan died in the Battle of Hanzhong, about ten years later, but I didn't expect him to hang up so early this time.
Among the Cao Xiahou, it is Xun who has the best friendship with Xiahou Yuan, who calmed Guanzhong earlier and later pacified Liaodong, and they all partnered with Xiahou Yuan. And in the previous life, he admired this talented general a lot, and the rest of the Cao Xiahou had a lot of water in their records, and they often couldn't help but scrutinize carefully, and Xiahou Yuan was on the top, defeated Han Ma, and destroyed Song Jian, and the credit was ten dozen or ten. Second, Xiahou Yuan marched like the wind, "five hundred in three days, one thousand in six days", he seems to be used to talking about soldiers on paper, this is called cavalry. As for Xiahou Yuan's death, one is because he took off lightly, and as the main general, he went to repair the antlers, and the other is - a general who is used to crisscrossing the plains, you let him go to Hanzhong, where the mountains stretch long, if there is no problem, it is a fluke, and it is normal if there is a problem.
But I didn't expect that in this timeline, Xiahou Yuan really fought a cavalry duel on the plain and lost his life - the so-called "good riders fall from horses, those who are good at water drown, those who are good at drinking are drunk with wine, and those who are good at fighting are killed". It seems that although "victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers", the character of the main general can really greatly affect the direction of the battle......
Then he sighed: My poor girl, I didn't expect you to be so young, and your father-in-law would be gone......
When Yuan Yuan was still in Youzhou, Xiahou Yuan had a conversation with Shi Xun, and the two talked happily and asked each other about their family status, and Shi Xun said that I had just had a second daughter, and my name was Shi Yun. Xiahou Yuan took the opportunity to ask, Hongfu, what is the name of your eldest daughter, and how old is she? Shi Xun replied: "Mingxue, born in the second year of Jian'an, is seven years old. "Xiahou Yuan said that I have the name of my third son, who is fourteen years old, why don't we get married and give your eldest daughter to Xiahou as a wife, how about it?
Shi Xun lowered his head and thought for a while, and replied vaguely: "My husband and wife love this girl very much, but they don't want to return early......"
It is Xun's superficial meaning, but he doesn't want his daughter to marry too early and leave her parents. The difference between men and women is a full seven years, your family Xiahou said that he should marry a wife at the age of twenty, at that time it was just thirteen years old, who can rest assured that she would go to her in-law's house at such a young age. However, women leave the cabinet at the age of twelve or thirteen, and this is a common thing, so it is an excuse for Xun De to say, "My wife loves this woman very much", which is a special case.
And his real intention was that he was really not optimistic about that Xiahou name. It's not that I haven't seen the kid's face much, but because the kid has left a name in the history books, it is said that when he was a child, he liked to play war games, Xiahou Yuan asked him to read military books, but he said: "If you can, you can be your own ears, and you can learn people?" Then at the age of sixteen, he was able to shoot a tiger, and even Cao Cao took his hand and said, "I have you!" In addition, this kid is also extremely able to say, and has a good relationship with Cao Pi, whenever there is a banquet, "when the qi tomb sits, the debater can't bend."
It seems that if this kid really grows up, if he is not a famous general, he must be Zhao Kuo, and the problem is unlucky, he didn't grow up at all - he died of illness at the age of eighteen. If he dies in battle, maybe the little butterfly wings will be able to fan him to the end of his life, and he will die of illness...... Is it Hoon who can rest assured that he will marry his daughter?
Where did Xiahou Yuan know that it was Xun's heart that these flowers were around, and he counted it with his fingers, hmm. The seven-year-old gap. Maybe it's a little bigger-" The four sons of Zewu are famous. Nine-year-old, what is permissible? ”
Xiahouwei? It was Xun who thought about the "ancient books" and nodded lightly - this can be had.
He himself really dotes on his daughter is Xue, and even more so than his son, and in his heart, he doesn't want his daughter to fall into the abyss of an arranged marriage. After all, the problem is that in this era, she is the daughter of Xue Weishi Doctor, so there is almost no possibility of free love. No matter how open-minded she is as a father, and even encourages her to choose her own husband, it is impossible for the eldest daughter to meet strange men everywhere, and she may not be able to find a free love partner. From the perspective of arranged marriage, the Xiahou family is a relative of the Cao family, similar to his own status, with the same family rank and power, but it is indeed a good choice for his in-laws.
Besides, an arranged marriage is always better than a political marriage.
Xiahou Yuan has many sons. His name is recorded in the history books, and the eldest Xiahou Heng has married Cao De's daughter. The second Xiahou Ba, later voted for Shu, the third Xiahou said, the young man died, the fifth Xiahou Rong is estimated not to have been born at this time, originally in history was a thirteen-year-old Chong Ling followed Xiahou Yuan to die in Hanzhong. Xiahou Wei, as well as Xiahou Hui and Xiahou He, who will be born in the future, are not famous, but on the whole, they are stronger than Xiahou Nan born to Xiahou Xuan.
…… Uh, well, compared with Xiahou Zilin, it seems that even Cao Shuang can be regarded as a dragon and phoenix among people......
Shi Xun lowered his head just now, thinking about whether there was a record in the "ancient books" about how Xiahou Wei died, and how old he was to die? It seems that there is no record, but I vaguely remember that the names of Xiahou Wei's descendants are specially listed in the history books, and one of them is a grandson or great-great-grandson, who is the Western Jin Dynasty writer Xiahou Zhan. Xiahou Zhan's father is "the brother-in-law of Empress Jingyang of Jin (in fact, it should be Empress Jingyang of Jin), so he is extravagant in the times".
Although history has been changed, there may not be any more Jin Dynasty, let alone relatives of the Jin Dynasty, but this family has the possibility of "extravagance in time" after all. Besides, maybe the roots of this developed family are not in the Yang family, not in the Sima family, but in the me family......
Therefore, Shi Xun happily obeyed his fate, and promised to marry his daughter Xue Xu to Xiahou Yuan's fourth son Xiahou Wei, and agreed to wait for Xiahou Wei to be eighteen years old, and Xue Ye was sixteen years old, and then formally discuss the marriage.
The virtual age is sixteen, and the real age is only fifteen, which is still a little early...... Forget it, let's talk about it then, just find an excuse and delay him for two or three more years, it's not difficult to think about it.
But this time I heard that Xiahou Yuan was killed, it was Xun and regret, and I was a little remorseful - I knew that Miaocai would not escape the fate of dying on the battlefield, so I wouldn't be in a hurry to agree to the marriage. It's not that I'm afraid of the decline of the other party's family, Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba are all adults, plus Xiahou Heng is about to marry Cao De's daughter, even if it doesn't become a weapon again, where can this noble family decay? I'm afraid that Xiahouwei is the second year of middle school (fifteen years old), this child has no father's education, and he won't be completely flawed, right?
Xiahou Yuan's family style is very strict, which is completely different from Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong and others - otherwise there would not be so many heroic young men in the family - so originally Xun was quite relieved about Xiahou Wei. Now that I think about it, I can either take the opportunity to take Xiahou Wei as an apprentice first, and let me educate my son-in-law to grow up. He prayed silently to the heavens: Miaocai, Miaocai, I am not a person who has broken the contract, I hope this apprentice can really teach it...... However, I am not good at education, and if I really can't teach well, I ask you to forgive me a lot in the spirit of heaven.
Of course, Shixun knew that Xiahou Yuan couldn't hear - he could basically be regarded as an atheist - prayed like this, just to make himself feel at ease.
turned his head and thought about the situation in Guanzhong again, but he couldn't help but sigh. In the original history, Xiahou Yuan guarded Hanzhong, Cao Cao was just a step late, and he led him to be killed by Huang Zhong in Dingjun Mountain, and the situation was out of control, even if Cao Cao personally led the army, in the end he could only sigh "chicken ribs" and take the initiative to give up Hanzhong - how similar to today's things Nair!
The same Xiahou Yuan was defeated and killed, the situation is bound to be evil, the same Cao Cao's reinforcements are coming, just one step away, he couldn't arrive, the most fatal, Liu Bei's army also has a law of filial piety......
If Cao Cao loses Hanzhong, it will be difficult to covet Shudi, so what if he loses Guanzhong? I'm afraid that the entire Central Plains will be in turmoil again! (To be continued......)
ps: Today's double watch, so please have a monthly pass, don't hesitate to give two more.
Suddenly it occurred to me that if I wrote that Xue would rebel against the feudal arranged marriage in the future, and the back garden would be a down-and-out son or something, would anyone read it? R1292
