Shi Xun was ordered to cut down Shu, resigned in a hurry, retreated to the mansion, and told Shi Fu and Huan Fan about the matter. Huan Fan asked: "What is the face of the Son of Heaven today?" Shi Xun said that he may have been inspired by the news of Liu Bei's death, and his face was good, although he was still a group of ministers who were reclining on the couch to meet, but he was much healthier than a few days ago. Huan Fan groaned: "Do you have no return to the light? Even in the private room, he didn't have to say anything, and said boldly at the moment: "I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven knows that his days are numbered, and I am afraid that he will not be able to see the world unified. ”

Yes Xun said okay, then I will go and fight for his Cao family again. It's a repetition of the request, saying that this may be the last big battle, and I hope that the father will take your son on the expedition. Shi Xun shook his head: "If Your Majesty doesn't make a mistake, I am not in the capital, and I am afraid that when I am alternating, there will be no twists and turns." You and Yuan are sitting in Luoyang, I don't have to worry about it, but I can go west. ”

Of course, he didn't know the conversation between Cao Cao and Cao Chao's ancestors and grandchildren after he left. Let's say that Cao Cao said: "I know that my fate will not be long, and after a thousand years, I am afraid that you will be too young to control it, so I will temporarily remove this person's ear for you." "This person" refers to Xun is Hongsuke.

Cao Chao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "My grandmother's son-in-law is an important minister of the court, Your Majesty's humerus, loyal and upright, and worthy of the country, how can I get rid of it?" ”

Cao Cao said that I didn't mean to kill this person, but to get rid of his power - "It is Hongfu who is good at observing people's hearts, Lixian corporal, protégé and former official in the world, and high in the position of Tai Lieutenant, Xun Gongda is gone, Chen Changwen is gone, and no one can fight against each other." Those who can control it are the only ones who can do it, and you are still difficult to do. "In fact, there is also Cao De, who is higher in rank than Xun. But Cao's ability to get sick is limited. Even less ambitious. And he was born like a little transparent, and no one takes him seriously.

Cao Chao said that Xun Yiyi wanted to be a Wenkui and a Confucian sect, I don't see any ambitions in him, and he resigned early, retired as a lieutenant, and did not meddle in personnel, nor did he arbitrarily seize military power, and now you are suspicious of him...... Or is there any sign that I don't know about my grandson?

Cao Cao smiled coldly: "People's hearts are unpredictable. And volatile too. In the past, I began to be filial piety, young, and thought that I was not a well-known person in the cave, and I was afraid that people at home would see all the foolishness, and wanted to be a county guard, so as to be a political and religious person, so as to establish a reputation, so that the world can know the ears. Later, he went to the official against the regular servants, and built a fine house in the fifty miles east of the city, wanting to study in autumn and summer. Hunting in winter and spring is covered with muddy water. Never want to come and go. Recruited as a lieutenant again, moved to the military academy, and then wanted to make meritorious contributions to the country, and made the marquis the general of the expedition to the west, and then inscribed the tomb of 'the tomb of Cao Hou, the general of the Han Dynasty who conquered the west', which is also ......

"How can I want to replace the Han when I am young, and become my Cao clan? Its momentum is gradually becoming a change, and it is dependent on Zhengduo, all of them want to rise from the dragon, if I live up to it, I am afraid that the Cao family will die! This is also the reason why your father cannot be the heir. If I don't suppress it, I'm afraid that its momentum will be even more blazing in ten years, that is, there is no dissent, how can I know that there is nothing to change? ”

I didn't have great ambitions, and I didn't think about becoming an emperor, but the situation is pressing, and since I have come to this point unexpectedly, it is impossible to retreat. I not only represent the interests of myself and the Cao family, but also the interests of many subordinates, and it is under their recommendation that I finally assume this supreme position. If I stand up and refuse to represent Han, do you think those subordinates will follow me again? Maybe the regime will collapse and the Cao family will fall!

It's the same with Shixun, he is too powerful now, if he is not restrained and allowed to continue to expand, who knows if in five or ten years, there will be a large group of people who will support him as respect? When the time comes, he only has two paths to take, usurping Wei or going to die, which path do you think he will choose?

- "People change because of the situation, things become due to the situation, if you go with it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will die, and if you don't want to die, you can't steal the hook and the country can steal, and if you are a king, can you be careless?" You saw it before, it is a storage position, that is, brothers can kill each other, but what about foreign surnames? People are selfless, and selfless is ruthless, even if they are in the same clan, they should not be gullible, and their surname is not Cao Hu? ”

Speaking of this, he smiled coldly: "Is it Hongfu who secretly communicates with Lu Hong, and thinks I don't know?" In order to avoid impeachment in order to avoid the school's troubles? Or if he has another heart, who knows it? ”

Cao Chao was covered with cold sweat when he heard this, and he felt cold in his heart, but he had to bow down and be taught.

Cao Cao was quite satisfied with his grandson's performance, so he nodded and continued to teach him: "Today is to tell you, how I will deal with Hongfu ......"

It is Xun who led his division to attack Shu this time, and the possibility of success is quite large - because I am only afraid of Liu Bei in Shu, and now not only Liu Bei is dead, but even his right-hand man Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei have also hung up one after another, and the remaining waste has divided the country again, and the internal fighting is endless, and our army will take advantage of its disadvantages to advance, and it will not take half a year to pacify Shu. However, Shuzhong is too remote, and it has been suspended for a long time, and it has been divided since the time of Liu Yan, as I just said, it is not difficult to capture, and it is not easy to stabilize.

Then it is Xun who must make a comprehensive plan in order to stabilize the Shu land, the so-called "will be outside, the king's order is not subject to it", it is inevitable that it will not be reported and will be expedient. At that time, he can be charged with the crime of "no edict and arbitrariness", reduce his rank of lieutenant, and order him to return to the capital to be punished......

Cao Chao frowned and asked: "My grandmother's son-in-law is not a person who is good at acting arbitrarily, if he does it in advance, what can he do?" ”

Cao Cao said that then he would definitely not be able to stabilize Shudi, as long as there were one or two small messes, he could also use the crime of calming down and unfavorable, and still take the title of captain and recall him back to Luoyang.

Cao Chao asked again: "If it is urgent, he is self-reliant according to Shu, what can I do?" ”

Cao Cao sneered: "His dependents are all in Luoyang, dare to rebel?" And Shu is broken, the remnants are terrified, and they are not enough to do things; The Chinese soldiers thought of their own home, and they refused to go with them. If he does evil, he will destroy the ears of his people. ”

After a pause, he continued: "It is Hongfu who has returned, but still retains his lordship, so that he can live in Luozhong, waste for several years, slowly remove his wings, and frustrate his reputation. After a hundred years, you can return to it, and if you are weak and virtuous, you will be loyal and use it without worry. This is for you to eliminate hidden dangers, so for this plan - its Yu Hongfu, although it suffered a small setback, it can be safe, and it is the virtue of the meeting of all my monarchs and ministers. ”

Then he sighed: "Because Nian Chu was in Yanzhou, Hongfu Baiyi came to vote, and I was suspicious at the beginning, and I almost harmed his life." Hongfu chanted the sentence "Jingwei Weimu", so that I was shocked and loved, and I stayed as a support, and I knew that he first saved your Taizu, and was my Cao family's in-laws. I feel deeply ashamed, but I thank you......" Cao Cao looked at the sky in the distance, his eyes were blurred, as if he was completely immersed in the memories of the past, and said in a soothing tone, and suddenly grinned: "I don't know that I have a son of heaven, and the son of heaven worships people, but what?" Hongfu should return this worship today. ”

In July of the sixth year of Yankang, Taiwei was the governor of the crown and went out of Luoyang with the festival. There are only 2,000 people in the department, half of which are the forbidden army allocated by Cao Cao, called "Yulin", commanded by the partial general Chang Diao, and the rest are their own troops, as well as advocating the honor guard.

Yes Xun is still 400 people, but most of them are not the old faces of the initial recruitment - time flies, Thailand half lost the field, or resigned due to illness or injury, Shi Xun also has its own placement - only Jing Xiaoxiao and more than a dozen veterans still follow. Thinking of that old Jing, after many battles, he almost had to be injured when he returned, but he couldn't die, and he was covered with scars, criss-crossed, but his limbs were always complete, and he didn't even break a single finger. It is Xun who feels his loyalty, and a few years ago, he took the family maid and was fruitful, and he seemed to be a good breeder with him as his wife, and he gave birth to a son successfully.

So originally Xun didn't plan to take Lao Jing this time, and said to him: "You will be the year when you know the destiny of heaven, but you will guard other industries and take care of your wife and children, why do you want to go to the battlefield again?" Lao Jing smiled and patted his chest: "The lord has to think that I am old?" Although it is not as good as Lianpo, you can still eat eight liters of rice in one meal...... "Is Xunxin saying that you also have a large amount of food, and you dare to compare with Lianpo?" - "Besides, if this battle can be successful, the world will be decided, but the horse can be put on Nanshan, cast a sword into a plow, and tease Sun with a ......" is Xun said in his heart at first that he couldn't see it, Lao Jing actually knew how to use idioms, and he was good at learning, but he couldn't say anything if he listened to it again-Hanyu teased Sun? Did your son take off his diaper, and you miss your grandson?

All in all, although Lao Jing had no knowledge, he also knew that this was the last big battle he could catch up with in his life, so he insisted on following the battle, and said: "I have been rewarded by the lord over the years, and I have also purchased 200 acres of land in the township. "Yes Xun said okay, you just go with him - anyway, with these more than a dozen veterans of a hundred battles by his side, he is a little more sure-footed.

In addition to the trilogy, Shi Xun also brought his son-in-law Xiahou Wei and disciple Tian Pengzu, in addition to Ziyi - Shi Kong Rong orphan, whose real name is Kong Yu, is seventeen years old and has just passed the crown ceremony.

The ranks are neat, the banners are fluttering, and they go straight out of the Xuanyang Gate in the south of the city. Relatives and friends all came to see each other, it was Xun who dismounted and saw the gifts one by one, which was worthy of Wang Cang, he looked carefully, and saw that Wang Zhongxuan was thinner than in previous years, with a sallow complexion, and two dark circles under his eyes. Shi Xun couldn't help but take Wang Cang's hand and instructed: "Since the beginning of the year, we have known each other for a long time, and we have lived a long time, which can't help but make people sentimental." Although Zhongxuan is small and his physique is weak, I have repeatedly warned that you should not overwork your studies, and you should not work too hard, and I regret not listening. Standing now, but bowing down and slumping back, bearded and half-spotted, straight as fifty years, set up, the world lost a great sage, "Ascending the Tower" has become a masterpiece! Can you be careful? Be safe and respectful, don't worry about me. ”

Wang Cang smiled faintly and said that I was born like this, probably damaged in my mother's womb, I have always had thin arms and legs, bent over and bent my back, but in fact, my health is quite good - "Hongfu Changwu, I will die first, don't quit." ”

It's Xun Xin who can say it, in the original history, you died in the prime of life, and it is estimated that you will not live long on this timeline - I don't know if I will be able to see you again when I return from the expedition...... If his memory is not wrong, Lu Zijing will only be in the past few years......

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a sense of pathos. (To be continued.) )
