In the Cao family's mansion, the Ding family returned to the Cao family as soon as they finished worshipping their ancestors and presided over the Cao family's annual meeting, which is the responsibility of the eldest lady of the Cao family.

"Mother, everything is ready, please ask your mother to preside over the meeting." Cao Ang arched his hand in the lower left and respectfully greeted Ding.

"Hmm!" Ding nodded and stood up.

"Zi Lian can be?"

"Sister-in-law, Hong is here!" After Cao Hong finished dealing with the government affairs of Xu Du, he also came, and as long as there was time for the Cao family's annual meeting, the clan must be present.

"Hmmm! Zi Xiao can be in? ”

"Sister-in-law, Ren is here!"

"Well, Zixiao, Zilian, Zihe and your eldest brother are not in Qianjun, after this year's annual meeting, there will be two uncles in Zihe's family, and the education of the children and the use of the New Year will be worried about the two uncles!" Cao Chun is out on the list, and the Ding family must also take care of the affairs at home.

"Yes, sister-in-law!"

"This year, the harvest in our Cao family is good, and 5,000 acres of fertile land have been harvested."

"Oh no, no, big lady, big lady, something's wrong!" Just as Ding was presiding over Cao's annual meeting, the housekeeper rushed in in a hurry.

"Steward Cao? What's the matter with the hurry? Ding glanced at the housekeeper unhappily, when was this such rudeness?

"Back to the eldest lady, something is wrong, bad news came from Xiliang, General Cao Chun is dead!" The butler knelt down and wept to report to Ding.

"What!" When everyone heard the news of Cao Hong's death, they were all taken aback and stood up from their positions.

"Housekeeper. What did you say? Brother Chun is dead? Cao Ren shouted. grabbed the butler who was kneeling on the ground. Cao Chunke is his younger brother, the younger brother who grew up together!

"General Cao, General Cao let go, Lord Sikong was ambushed by the Xiliang Army, General Cao Chun fought to the death of the palace, and finally died in the chaos." The housekeeper replied to Cao Ren tremblingly, maybe he was too afraid, and the report on the military situation was extremely smooth. There was no pause.

"Husband!!! When Cao Chun's wife heard the news of Cao Chun's death, she let out a long howl and fainted.

"Brother and sister?"

"Someone, quickly help Mrs. Cao down, housekeeper, go and ask for a doctor!" Ding saw that Cao Chun's wife fainted, and hurriedly ordered someone to help him up, Cao Chun is dead, and the widow must take care of herself!

"Yes, Madame!" The butler broke free from Cao Ren's grasp. hurriedly left the Cao family's mansion.

"Pure brother, pure brother!" Cao Ren's body softened. He sat on the ground, constantly calling Cao Chun's name.

"Mother, Uncle Chun died suddenly, there are a lot of things to deal with, this year's annual meeting will be like this, and some other trivial matters can be handled by Erniang and Zou Niang." The deceased is the greatest, since the news of Cao Chun's death has arrived, the funeral is to be prepared, as Cao Cao's wife, Ding's responsibility is unshirkable.

"Well, what Zixiu said is reasonable, and the rest of the things will be handled by the sisters, and the uncle's funeral will be handled by Mrs. Ben herself, and you will issue a funeral letter in the name of Mrs. Ben to inform the people in the clan!"

"Yes, the boy understands!" Cao Ang arched his hand and retreated.

"My Cao family suffered this misfortune, my uncle died in Xiliang, Mrs. Ben decided to mourn for my uncle, please understand the brothers and elders in the clan, my Cao family's annual meeting will end here, and the rest of the trivial matters will be handled by the second lady Bian! I wonder what you think? ”

"Obey the orders of the eldest lady!" As soon as the Ding family spoke, everyone in the Cao family saluted to the Ding family and agreed.

"Hmm!" Ding nodded and left the main hall.

In the feudal era, men were the pillars of the family, especially the Cao family, the male of each family was the representative of power, Cao Chun died, and the orphans and widows in the family might be noticed by the township or the clan, and the Ding family had to deal with these trivial matters, telling everyone that Cao Chun was gone, but Cao Cao was there! No one can bully Cao Chun's widow!

In the manor on the outskirts of Xudu, Yixin and the old horse who exposed the horse's feet were also discovered by Xi Zhicai.

"What a big deal! Such a big family, Sima Bada really deserves his reputation! "Xi Zhicai handed over the information to Lu Rui and Guo Jia, and the people behind Liu Xie finally surfaced, the people of the Sima family, and they were Sima Yi and Sima Min, the second of Sima Bada!"

"Sima's family?" Lu Rui and Guo Jia were stunned for a moment when they heard the three words of Sima Jia, but their surprise was different.

Guo Jia was surprised by the family heritage of the Sima family, and he had to be extremely careful against such a big family.

Lu Rui was surprised that Sima Yi could blatantly confront Cao Cao, to confront Cao Cao, now is not the best opportunity, Cao Cao is now on the rise, with heavy power in his hands and soldiers and horses in hand, idiots will directly confront Cao Cao.

"Fengxiao, it seems that we can't close the net so quickly, the Sima family is just a big bait, we have to catch a group of big fish!" Xi Zhicai smiled, took the bamboo slip back, and threw it into the brazier.

"Yes, Zhicai is reasonable, we have to slowly dig out other families, and all the families have to be attacked!"

"This doesn't correspond to history!" Lu Rui muttered to himself on the side, Sima Yi, as a wolf Gu Zhicai, is very forbearant in the three generations of the Cao family, how could he take action against Cao Cao this time?

"Well, by the way, extraordinary, what do you think?" Xi Zhicai saw that Lu Rui was silent on the side, and asked.

"What the master and Xi Zhijun said is reasonable, we can't uproot the family, but as long as the important personnel are killed by us, the family has nothing to fear!" Lu Rui came back to his senses, if it was really Sima Yi's work, it would be simple, just get rid of Sima Yi directly, and save things in the future.

For a family to rise, it must have great talents. Without talent, the family is just wealthy. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was a great talent, and Sima Yi was also a great talent!

"Well, Bufan is right, as long as the family talents who are not loyal to the lord are eliminated, the lord can rule steadily, and the descendants of the Han will be just around the corner!" Xi Zhicai took a sip of wine and laughed.

"This?" Lu Rui and Guo Jia glanced at each other, Xi Zhicai is really a person who is loyal to Cao Cao, this kind of thing dares to say it clearly, this is stronger than Lu Rui and Guo Jiaqiang, it doesn't take courage to pretend to be confused, but it takes courage to speak out, no wonder Cao Cao handed over his secret legion to Xi Zhicai, Cao Wei's first loyal minister, it should be Xi Zhicai!

"Report! Military division, there is an urgent military situation in Xiliang! While the three of them were discussing Yixin and Lao Ma, a black-clad sergeant entered the hall.

"Well, bring it on!" Xi Zhicai took the information and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed.

"Zhicai, what the hell is going on?" Seeing Xi Zhicai's surprised appearance, Guo Jia asked suspiciously, which made Xi Zhicai's face change, something big must have happened.

"Zihe died in Xiliang, and the lord asked the two of you to return to Xiliang quickly!"

"What! Son and uncle dead? ”

"That's right, the lord asked you to take the hair mound and return to Xiliang!"

"Jia understands, Bufan and I will return to Xiliang immediately!" Hearing that Cao Cao was blocked in Xiliang, Guo Jia was so anxious that he was about to leave Xudu.

"Master, the clue of the Sima family?"

"Extraordinary, don't you understand? Our master and apprentice are just a trick, Zhicai is the one who really handles it, our task has been completed, even if General Cao Chun does not die, the lord will find other reasons for us to leave! ”

"I see! Rui got it! Lu Rui smiled, Cao Cao was really scheming, Ming Xiu plank road secretly crossed Chen Cang, and used Lu Rui and Guo Jia as a cover to create conditions for Xi Zhicai.

"Fengxiao, don't be so anxious, the lord asked General Cao Ren to bring the army and horses from the headquarters to join you and then go to Xiliang, you can stay in Xudu for a few days!"

"Well, in that case, Bufan and I will return to Xudu to prepare, and when General Cao brings troops to Xudu, we will go west to Chencang!"

"Good! In that case, I won't keep you anymore, I'll let my own soldiers send you out!" ”

"Jia (Rui) farewell!" Guo Jia and Lu Rui arched their hands and left.

"Bufan, what do you think of the Dai Han that Zhicai said?" As soon as he left the manor, Guo Jia asked Lu Rui coldly.

"Dai Han? What does the master mean? ”

"What is the Lord Gong Dai Han? If you just be an emperor, then it is very simple to represent Han, Emperor Guangwu can do it with one person and one horse, and the lord has hundreds of thousands of elites in his hands, which is easy. But if it is the reform of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid it will not be so easy, and Zhicai's heart may be a little big! After speaking, Guo Jia smiled helplessly and got into the carriage.

"This?" Lu Rui understood what Guo Jia meant, if Cao Cao wanted to be the emperor, it would be easy, like Cao Pi, he would compromise with the family, and the throne would be in hand immediately, but if he wanted to eradicate the stubborn diseases of the family, I am afraid it would not be so easy.

Suddenly, Lu Rui felt a trace of helplessness, originally thought that he could assist Cao Cao in unifying the Han Dynasty by familiarizing himself with history, but it was actually cruel, and the road ahead was still far, far away! (To be continued......)
