Chapter 196: Willingness
Before you know it, the sun will set.
The slanting sun and the setting sun dyed the earth a remnant red.
Liu Chuang and Xiao Ling Taishi enjoyed a convergence and a simple inventory of the receipts, which was quite rich.
After killing the bear, Liu Chuang was injured on his body, and the speed of the siege slowed down a lot. He no longer took action himself, but ordered Zhuo Ying to lead the flying bear to ride and hunt. When the work is finished, the prey is counted, and there are more than 100 large and small prey. Thinking about it, plus the harvest of Xiao Ling and Tai Shixiang, it should be able to count two hundred. Not to mention, there are two brown bears in it, one of which is almost a thousand pounds.
With these two brown bears, Liu Chuang can be invincible.
It's just that he doesn't dare to guarantee what the other clans will gain, so he has to prepare more.
"Childe, you hurt ......"
When Xiao Ling and Tai Shixiang saw Liu Chuang, they couldn't help but be startled.
It's no wonder that Liu Chuang's body was covered in blood, and although he changed his robe, he couldn't hide the injuries on his body.
"It's okay, but if you hit two brutes, you don't need to worry."
He inquired about the harvest of Xiao Ling and the others, and Ji Shang expected it.
Xiahou Nan and Xiahou Heng harassed non-stop along the way, which indeed increased the difficulty of Xiao Ling and Tai Shixiang to fight the siege. But even so, the two of them have gained quite a lot. Among them, Tai Shi Xiang was lucky, and met a group of jackals, about 20 of them, which were connected to the nest by Tai Shi Xiang. In addition, Xiao Ling also hunted two large deer. Liu Chuang roughly calculated that three teams of men and horses hunted nearly 300 heads, which should be enough.
Look at the time, it's almost over.
Liu Chuang took everyone with him, and he also had a bunch of prey. Hit the road back.
At this time, there was a lot of commotion in the camp.
The generals who returned from the siege were elated one by one, gathering in one place to laugh.
Emperor Han's face. Very ugly.
Cao Cao, on the other hand, had a strange smile on his face, glancing at Emperor Han from time to time, with disdain in his eyes. It's no wonder that let's look at the harvest of those clans. Three or two kittens and puppies, how can you get them? On the contrary, it was the children of the Cao family and those generals with foreign surnames who gained extremely richly. And in the clan, the only achievement that can be done is probably the more than 20 prey offered by Liu Bei, otherwise it will be lost in face.
"The third son is back!"
Just as everyone was laughing, there was a sudden commotion outside the camp.
I saw a cavalry army galloping towards him, and the man at the head was a boy about ten years old.
There were four or five pheasants hanging on horseback. The feathers are bright. Exceptionally eye-catching.
Cao Cao saw the boy. A gentle smile suddenly appeared on his face.
After the boy dismounted, he held a pheasant in both hands, ran to Cao Cao and knelt down on one knee and said, "Father." When the child was encircling, he saw the pheasant's bright feathers, so he hunted it and offered it to his father. ”
"I'm going to get up."
Cao Cao laughed. He stepped forward and lifted the boy up, then tore three feathers from the pheasant, and put one on his head, and another on the boy's head. He held the remaining one in his hand, and after looking around at everyone, he suddenly beckoned: "Gongming come forward." ”
Xu Huang was stunned and hurriedly stepped forward.
Cao Cao put the feather on Xu Huang's head, which immediately attracted the envy of the people.
"Since Gongming followed me, he has repeatedly made military exploits, and now he has been hunted by children, and I hope that Gongming is not strange."
Xu Huang was excited and thanked him again and again.
"Although the third son is not very old, he is very good.
He also hunted a boar, weighing 300 pounds! ”
When Cao Cao heard this, his face suddenly changed, revealing a nervous look.
"My son, have you ever been hurt?"
This boy, named Cao Zhang, was the third son of Cao Cao, and he was eleven years old.
Because he was born with a yellow beard, Cao Cao often called him Yellow Beard. This Cao Zhang has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, and he was born with divine power, and he once followed Cao Cao's favorite general Dian Wei to learn martial arts, which was very popular with Cao Cao.
Cao Zhang smiled: "Father, don't worry, the child knows the severity...... Such a big boar, the child is difficult to deal with alone, and the soldiers work together to hunt it. When the child grows up in the future, he must hunt one alone and sacrifice it to his father, and then it will be considered a real thing. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
The more he laughed, the more ugly the face of Emperor Han on the side became......
A boy can hunt a boar. But the children of the clan on their own side are ...... People say that Liu Xuande is brave, but that's it.
He only has one hope left now, and that is Liu Chuang.
But come to think of it, Liu Chuang's strength is weak, can it be that he can win everyone by relying on him?
Coupled with Cao Cao's humiliation before, Emperor Han was even more dissatisfied with Cao Cao, and his heart was full of hatred. It's just that he didn't dare to express this hatred, so he had to stand on top of Luan Jia and force a smile. I was looking forward to it in my heart that Liu Chuang could save face for him.
"Why hasn't Uncle Liu come back yet?"
Seeing that it was getting late and Liu Chuang hadn't appeared yet, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel proud.
"Presumably, Uncle Liu Huang didn't gain much, so he didn't have the face to come back."
Someone on the side replied, which immediately caused a group of generals surnamed Cao and generals with foreign surnames to laugh.
That laughter, even the children of the clan were thick-skinned, and they felt a little feverish. Fu Wan and Dong Cheng turned pale and were silent on the side.
After finishing the bow, he turned his head to look at Dong Cheng.
Is this the clan strongman you recommend?
Liu Bei's behavior of not working hard, how could he hide it from Dong Cheng and Fu Wan.
I think that at the beginning, Dong Cheng recommended Liu Bei to Fu Wan because he wanted to enhance the strength of the clan. But now it seems that this Liu Bei is clearly afraid of Cao Cao, how can he rejuvenate the Han Dynasty? Dong Cheng's face is also a little not good-looking. He felt that he had been deceived by Liu Bei! Just now he clearly told Liu Bei that he wanted to add glory to the clan. Can ...... now Those prey, although they seem to be a lot, how can they be counted as doing their best?
This thief has deceived me too much!
Dong Cheng's gaze fell on Liu Bei's body, burning like a sword.
Liu Bei also seemed to feel that what he did was not very authentic, so he lowered his head and said nothing.
At that moment, a series of exclamations were heard outside the camp. A cavalry army, laden with prey, marched slowly into the camp, and among those prey. The two eye-catching brown bear carcasses are extremely shocking. Liu Chuang's body was stained with blood, and his robe was tattered. But his spirit seemed to be excellent. After entering the camp. Dismounted sideways, walked quickly to Luan, knelt down on one knee and said, "Minister Liu Chuang, I am ordered to surround you." Come and come back to life.
Majesty Xià Hongfu Qitian, the minister hunted two brown bears, specially dedicated to His Majesty. ”
When the carcasses of the two brown bears were displayed in the camp, there was a flurry of exclamations.
Yue Xi, Xu Huang, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren Cao Hong all stepped forward to watch, looking at the two brown bear corpses, they couldn't help but show shock.
Cao Cao didn't expect that Liu Chuang would actually run to kill the bear.
He took Cao Zhang's hand and stepped forward quickly. Seeing Yuexi's face was shocked. Hurriedly asked, "This old man." Was it really killed by the emperor's uncle? ”
"Lord, these two brown bears, the smaller one seems to have been shot to death. In fact, someone broke his bones with his fist before, and he had no power to resist. And that big bear. I'm afraid it was Uncle Liu Huang who fought alone. Judging from the wounds, it should have been killed by three knives. ”
In other words, these two bears were probably killed by Liu Chuang alone.
Cao Zhang's face showed a look of shock, and he suddenly ran to Xiahoudun's side and asked softly, "If Master Dian is here, can you kill these two old men?" ”
Dian Wei was originally recommended by Xiahoudun, because he had the courage to cross the stream and chase the tiger, so he recommended it to Cao Cao.
Xiahoudun hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "If Junming can be ten years younger, he should be able to do it!" ”
"Doesn't that mean that this Uncle Liu Huang is not much better than Master Dian?"
Xiahoudun has always claimed to be brave, and when he heard Cao Zhang's question, although he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't help but nod and said, "Be equal." ”
Cao Zhang's gaze at Liu Chuang suddenly became a little intense!
And Cao Cao looked at the corpses of the two old men, and after a while, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, walked to Luan and bowed down and said: "Today, there is an imperial uncle fighting two bears, and his courage can be described as unparalleled." Congratulations to His Majesty, congratulations to His Majesty, the Han family can have such a fierce general, Zhongxing...... It's just around the corner.
What is this? ”
As he spoke, he took Liu Chuang's hand and asked with concern: "Uncle Huang is injured, please recuperate quickly, don't hurt the root." ”
After speaking, Cao Cao took off the brocade robe on his body and draped it on Liu Chuang's body.
Liu Chuang's eyes narrowed, he looked at Cao Cao, and then at Emperor Han......
But he saw that Emperor Han was still standing alone on top of Luan, with excitement on his face.
In my heart, I couldn't help but sigh softly: People say that the emperor is mean and unkind, but now it seems that this is the case.
At this time, it was a good time for him to win over people's hearts, but he stood there to show off his might, completely ignoring Liu Chuang's blood.
On the other hand, Cao Cao, he and he are incompatible, but he doesn't care.
Regardless of whether he was sincere or hypocritical, in terms of his bearing, how could Emperor Han be his opponent?
Liu Chuang is not a person who does not know how to advance and retreat, if he wants to leave Xu Du, he can't be blindly strong, and if necessary, he also needs to give Cao Cao some face.
"Thank you, Cao Sikong."
Liu Chuang turned his head to look at Emperor Han, showing a look of exhaustion and weakness, and then asked Emperor Han to resign.
Emperor Han did not keep it, and let Liu Chuang go back to rest.
That night, Cao Cao ordered all the prey to be gathered together and rewarded the hundreds of military officials.
He didn't bother to question the outcome of the battle, because in terms of numbers, the clan would be defeated; But in terms of quality, Liu Chuang single-handedly killed the two bosses, which was enough to kill everyone in seconds. Therefore, there is no way to care about the victory or defeat. In the dead of night, campfires are blazing in the camp and the smell of barbecue fills the air. It's just that on this night, there are many people who toss and turn on the couch and find it difficult to sleep.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"You mean, those two old men were killed by Chuang'er when he saved Yuwa as a child?"
In the big tent, Cao Cao was holding a girl in his arms, with a look of surprise on his face.
Next to the couch, there was a soft cushion, on which lay a bear cub, snoring evenly, and sleeping very soundly.
Cao Cao returned to the back tent, and when he saw the little bear, he couldn't help but be startled, and almost drew his sword and stepped forward to kill it. How do you know, but she was stopped by the little girl and didn't let him hurt the little bear. After inquiry, Cao Cao learned that when he was fighting the siege today, his wife Mrs. Bian also took Mrs. Zou and daughter Cao Xian to play in the paddock.
Cao Cao had four daughters.
The eldest daughter came out and married Xiahou Nan as his wife.
The second daughter, Cao Xian, is ten years old.
The Three Daughters Cao Festival. Three years old.
The youngest daughter, Cao Hua, is one year old.
Among them, Cao Xian is from Mrs. Bian, and she is beautiful. Like a ceramic doll carved in pink and jade, it was favored by Cao Cao.
Listening to Mrs. Bian talk about today's experience, Cao Cao was also scared out of a cold sweat.
If Liu Chuang was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it. The beautiful woman and the girl in this big tent are the ones he saved from killing the bear today.
"Sikong, the concubine knows that Sikong is a little jealous of the flying bear.
But no matter what, he saved the concubine and the jade baby after all, whether he was intentional or unintentional, we have to write it down. This is a major military matter, and the concubine can't be the master, and she doesn't want to ask about it. I just want to ask Sikong to see the love he has for saving the concubine and the jade baby. It will save him his life. can be regarded as a concubine to repay him for saving his life. Please also be commonplace. Be able to think twice ......"
Mrs. Bian is not an ordinary woman!
She was born in a prostitute family, humble and lowly.
But after marrying Cao Cao, he was very liked by Cao Cao. Among them. is not only her prostitution methods, but also her intelligence. Know what is important. After Mrs. Ding left, all the big and small affairs of Cao's Mansion were under the control of Mrs. Bian, and almost became Cao Cao's main room.
She knew that if she begged Cao Cao to let Liu Chuang go, it was unlikely.
However, she can ask Cao Cao to spare Liu Chuang's life, and presumably Cao Cao will not refuse.
Cao Cao showed a wry smile, scratched his nose, and said softly: "Madame's words are quite reasonable, to be honest, this courage is really beyond my expectations, and I am also deeply pleased." However, the misunderstanding at the beginning also made me an opponent with him, and it was impossible to subdue him.
As for sparing his life...... Madame, if he does not commit a capital offense, I will not hurt his life. ”
What does it mean not to commit a capital offense?
That is to say, don't work against Cao Cao...... Then Cao Cao can forgive Liu Chuang.
Mrs. Bian also knew the severity, so she got up and thanked Cao Cao, and then took Cao Xian's hand and walked out.
"Blackie, go with me!"
Cao Xian called, and the little bear lying on the blanket opened his eyes, and then reluctantly stood up, shook his fat body, followed Cao Xian, and walked out of the big tent.
Looking at the backs of Mrs. Bian and Cao Xian, Cao Cao also felt a headache.
For Liu Chuang, Cao Cao still likes it more.
That courage is not inferior to the tiger back then.
It's just that this kid is indeed his opponent, and if he can't be eliminated as soon as possible, he will inevitably become a scourge.
Cao Cao now loves and resents Liu Chuang...... On the one hand, he wanted to win over, and on the other hand, he wanted to get rid of it, so that his heart was very entangled.
Should this be co-opted, or should it be eliminated?
Cao Cao patted his forehead lightly, and his face showed a touch of helplessness.
Chuang'er, Chuang'er......
He stood up and walked out of the tent, unable to make up his mind for a moment.
"Mengde, it's so late, why don't you rest?"
Just when Cao Cao was hesitating, he suddenly heard someone call him.
There were too many people in the camp who called him his name. Cao Cao turned to look, and after seeing the faces of the visitors clearly, he immediately smiled.
"Zitai, aren't you resting?"
The name of the person who came was Liu Xun, the table word Zitai, and he was a clan.
At the end of Zhongping, this person was the head of Peiguo Jianping, and he had an excellent relationship with Cao Cao. Later, he worshiped Lujiang Taishou...... In the middle of the year, the Lujiang River was broken by Sun Ce, and Liu Xun surrendered to Cao Cao, worshiped the general of the conquest, and the doctor of Zhongsan, who belonged to the loose officials who had no real power.
"I just ate too much wine with people, and it was a little hot, so I couldn't sleep."
Liu Xun came to Cao Cao's side with a smile, "I heard that Uncle Liu Huang saved his sister-in-law and niece today?" ”
"Zitai also heard about it?"
Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a hint of clarity, and he said secretly: Could this be Liu Chuang's transmission?
"Oh, it's all already spreading...... It is said that Wang Tu, the guard next to his sister-in-law, said it by chance, probably because he saw the corpses of the two old men. However, in this way, I am afraid that Uncle Liu Huang will be even more arrogant. Meng De is not worried, he is arrogant because of this? ”
Wang Tu?
Cao Cao couldn't help but remember this name, and was determined to clean up this person after he returned.
"Zitai, I'll tell you the truth, I'm also worried about this.
I know that Uncle Huang and I have a lot of misunderstandings, so that there is quite a gap between them. However, I really love his bravery, and I want to invite him, but I don't know how to speak. Zitai, you are also a clan, you must have some intersection with him, I don't know if there is a way to let him work for the Han family? ”
When Liu Xun heard this, he couldn't help but be bothered.
"Meng De wants to ask Uncle Liu Huang to serve, why is it difficult?"
"Oh?"
"I heard that although this Uncle Liu Huang is vulgar and reckless, he is actually an amorous seed.
thought that at the beginning, he could kill people in anger for beauty, and he did not hesitate to be the enemy of the entire Xuzhou. At a young age, he had two wives and two concubines, and he was also a greedy person for beauty. If Meng De asks him to serve, he might as well start from this aspect and test it. By the way, I think Yuwa'er is good! Uncle Huang rescued her, and I also heard that Uncle Huang got two bears at that time, one of which was given to Yuwa.
If he is Mengde's son-in-law, why not work for Mengde?
Don't forget, Lu Bu and other notorious people, just because his daughter married him, he fought with his life to save Lu Bu.
This person is greedy for beauty and affection. When Meng De wants him to do things, is it possible that he can still refuse? Wouldn't everyone be happy? ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, and his face showed a thoughtful look.
"Hehe, I also said it casually, and Meng De doesn't have to worry too much.
In fact, with Meng De's talent, it shouldn't be difficult to recruit Uncle Huang...... It's just that sometimes it depends on whether you are willing to Mengde. ”
Willing?
Cao Cao suddenly fell into deep thought.
After saying goodbye to Liu Xun, he returned to the big tent.
sat down, but Liu Xun's words seemed to be echoing in his ears: willing, willing, willing......
Yes, there is a give-and-take.
In any case, Liu Chuang is the son of Liu Tao, the Marquis of Zhongling, and the uncle of the Han Emperor. If he were his son-in-law, he would not disgrace the lintel of the Cao family. The most important thing is that Liu Chuang is also implicated in the Yingchuan clan behind him. If he really became Cao Cao's son-in-law, he could also further strengthen the relationship between Cao Cao and the Yingchuan clan. What Liu Xun said is not wrong, the key depends on whether he is willing or not!
Speaking of which, Yuwa is also in her early teens.
Although Liu Chuang's age is ten years older than Cao Xian, overall, he is not wronged by Yuwaer.
Those two old heads......
Could it be that it is a marriage given by God?
When Cao Cao thought of this, he couldn't help but feel excited......
