Cao Hong and Shixun are both relatives - and theoretically, Cao Hong and Cao Bao are really related by blood, and he is closer to Shixun than Cao Cao and Shixun - and can be regarded as business partners, and the relationship is quite close. But Cao Hong easily refused to set foot in the door of the Xun family, unless Xun specially invited him to a banquet.

In addition to training and fighting, Cao Zilian ******** all focused on his own business, but the contact between business partners and their own customers were busy. As far as relatives are concerned, Cao Hong is a martial artist after all, and he has almost nothing to say to the scribe Shixun, so except for the banquet or some common language, most of them just bow to each other when they meet in the court or on the street.

So Cao Zilian came to visit tonight, and Shixun couldn't help frowning-why did he come? Hurriedly straightened out his clothes and walked into the main hall, and saw Cao Hong sitting there, accompanied by his nephew, drinking tea - in fact, according to that guy's habit, even if the master did not return, he should have given a hot pot of clear mash first, but Cao Cao died not long ago, and as a courtier, he should not drink, so he could only drink tea.

Seeing that Shixun had returned, Cao Hong and Shishen got up together - Yes Shen got up first, and then knelt down, but Cao Hong was just a long bow. Shi Xun returned the salute and apologized first: "Unknown Zilian is visiting, it's too late, don't be guilty." Cao Hong said with a smile: "Hongfu is entrusted by the Son of Heaven to keep the book and work on state affairs, so it is too late, Hong Yan dares to sin?" Shi Xun raised his hand, asked Cao Hong to sit back, and he also fell into the main seat, and then asked: "Zilian came to visit me today, what is the matter?" ”

Cao Hong has a rough temperament and has never been good at words, so Shixun doesn't go around the bush with him. Straight to the point - why are you here today?

Cao Hong wiped his beard: "Wen Qing's family has delicious food." I came to hear it. "I'm just here to eat.

Shi Xun shook his head: "There may be delicious food." However, not with uninvited guests. "I don't even know why you came, whether it was good or malicious, where are you in the mood to eat and drink.

When Cao Hong heard this, he was a little embarrassed, so he swept his eyes left and right. Shi Xun understood what he meant, and immediately ordered to revert and wait for the time being, and then retreated - "Plan down and look at the meal, don't make my house slow to be a guest." ”

waited until there were only two people left in the hall, Cao Hong stood up. He picked up the mattress pad and placed it next to Shihoon, and when he sat down again, the two were only a foot apart. Immediately, Cao Zilian lowered his voice and asked: "Wen Hongfu is discussing Kanto affairs in Zhongshu today, and he is ordered to lead the army to Le Wenqian and Yu Wen, but is it not?" ”

It was Xun Xin who said that the news spread so quickly -- "It's true." How? ”

Cao Hong asked: "Hu doesn't want me to go?" ”

Shi Xun frowned slightly: "Zilian is the general of the country, and he is also appointed by the first emperor as an auxiliary government, so he can stay away?" Cao Hong pouted: "Brother Zixiao has to go to Shuzhong without Hong's fellowship?" Fan Yanggong (Cao De) went to the camp mausoleum, and Hua Ziyu arranged the funeral. None of them are in the city. If Hongfu did not return, Honggu did not dare to stay away. Now that Hongfu is returning, the Son of Heaven is destined to be the prime minister, so why should Hong stay constantly? ”

Yes Xun asked him, do you really want to lead the troops to quell the rebellion of the kings of Kwantung? Don't tell me you haven't been in a war for a long time, I know you've been busy with your own business lately, and you can't get too busy with it-"What the hell do you want?" Speak up. ”

Cao Hong saw that it was just Xun, and there was no way, so he had to sigh softly: "I have received the kindness of the first emperor, although I am a monarch and a minister, I am actually a brother." Now the kings are opposed, with the power of the court, and if they are destroyed overnight, they will die...... Hong An forbears seeing it? ”

Now those who rebel are Cao Cao's sons and grandsons, once the heavenly soldiers are everywhere, none of them will survive, as Cao Cao's good brother, how can I bear to see this scene? So I want to personally lead the troops and try to save one or two......

It was Xun Xin who said that he couldn't imagine that Cao Zilian looked heartless, but in fact, he had such a generous intention - "If they don't rebel, the emperor will succeed to the throne at the beginning, and he will not be responsible......" If the news is not true, a few of the four kings did not rebel with the same party, so relying on the identity of the vassal king, Wang Shu (or Wang brother), Cao Chao has just ascended the throne, and he will not be too harsh, so as not to be ridiculed - "If it is really against it, can it be saved?" "Rebellion is a big crime against the three clans, even if you are the founding hero and auxiliary minister, you can't save it.

Cao Hong said: "Even if the kings are guilty, how can their children be innocent? "Cao Chong is still enough, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi all have children, and most of them are still young, what sin do they have to be implicated and die?" That is, the law of the land cannot be broken, and I also want them to die a good death without being humiliated. ”

plotting against the three clans, those Cao Cao's grandsons and granddaughters can't run, and when the time comes, they will be tied up with ropes, put in prison, and even humiliated by pawns and jailers, it is expected that time. Cao Hong said that if I have to be handsome, I can take care of one or two, even if I die, let them die without losing dignity - "In this way, report the favor of the first emperor, and also calm Cao's heart." Hongfu is allowed. ”

It was Xun Hand twisting his beard and muttering for a long time - one was pondering whether Cao Hong was sincere or false, and the other was considering similar things and what solutions could be made. Cao Hong didn't dare to urge, just stared at a pair of big eyes, staring at Shi Xun's expression without blinking, extremely nervous. After a long time, Shi Xun put down his hand and asked slowly: "That is, Le Wenqian, Yu Wenze, and the first emperor were simply promoted, and they were loyal to each other, but they were worried that the two generals would insult Wang Sun Hu?" ”

Cao Hong said that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and no one can guarantee it, but I still believe in myself the most-"Even if I am sarcastic, I am also afraid of the yang and the yin, so please Hongfu, I want to go from here." ”

The corners of Shi Xun's mouth rose slightly, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Cao Hong's arm: "If I can make them immortal, how can Qing repay me?" Cao Hong was taken aback at first when he heard this, and then thought about it, it was Hongfu's unparalleled wisdom and eloquence, maybe he could really convince the emperor to be extrajudicial and spare the lives of those innocent people! So he said happily: "If Hongfu can follow my wish, it will be a thousand gold!" ”

It was Xun Xin who said that it seems that Cao Zilian is really playing, and with his stingy personality, he can promise me a daughter with one mouth...... So he smiled and shook his head: "Shall I ask for bribes?" But Zilian also promised me something, and I will do my best to help. ”

Yes Xun said, I have a disciple Zhuge Kongming, who has been engaged in logistics work in the capital, although he has the ambition of the sky, but there is no chance to go into battle, if you want to lead the army to the battle, please play, take him with you, let him make a meritorious contribution - "Kong Ming is wise, but cautious, Zi Lian is good at listening, and he will win." ”

Cao Hong said that this matter was simple, and immediately pointed to the sky and the earth, and made an oath. The two of them finished talking about business, and then Shi Xun gently patted the table and asked, "Is the meal complete?" ”

In fact, dinner had already been prepared, but without the summons of Shixun, they didn't dare to send it to the hall at all. Now that he heard what Xun said, he pushed open the door of the house and instructed the servants to present the food table to the two of them in the same way.

In recent years, Shixun has become more and more greedy for appetite, and taught Gan the general methods and tastes of various delicacies in later generations, and then Gan tried again and again to seek "restoration". So this time, many of the dishes brought in to Cao Hong are dishes that the outside world can't see at all, and it's impossible to even hear about them, such as: roast duck in the hanging oven (the stew oven has not yet been successfully trial-produced), kung pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork (peppers are temporarily replaced by dogwood), Longjing shrimp (of course, there is no Longjing, but replaced by other types of new tea in Zhejiang)......

Shixun also deliberately gave these dishes an elegant name, such as: fruity duck roast, green jade white beads (green finger shallots, white is diced chicken), colorful mixed chests, spring leaves and jade buds, and so on.

Cao Hong really ate with a mouth full of oil, full of praise, while eating, he asked Shixun about the raw materials and methods of each dish, and Shixun said that I will send a cook to your house tomorrow to teach skills. Cao Hong was overjoyed, and even gave a thumbs up: "In the past, when I was in the people, I heard that the immortals could make a golden thing by pointing stones, and now I try the dishes of the Qing family, and the same is true." "Because in these days, cattle, sheep, geese, and geese are considered high-class meats, and pigs, dogs, chickens, and ducks (ducks are not as good as chickens) are all commoner foods, and the nobles rarely use them for banquets - I didn't expect that the family could make all kinds of tricks for pork and chickens and ducks, and the taste was good, no wonder Cao Zilian was amazed.

Since then, Shixun has been ******** in the middle of the book, leading the hundreds of bureaucrats as prime minister, running the government and striving for a smooth transition - of course, there is chaos in the Kanto region, and it is impossible to completely stabilize it.

In about ten days, including the angels Chen Jiao and Gao Rou, news came to Luoyang through carrier pigeons and fast horses, and Cao Wei Junchen finally had a roughly complete understanding of the chaos in the Kanto region. The first plot of the rebellion was naturally Cao Chong, probably with the assistance of the Yi nationality, and the help of the spy network of the former Shu Han in the Central Plains, and soon occupied the entire Liyang County. Cao Zhi and Cao Kai were followed by Cao Kai - Cao Kai was nine years old, which must not have been the original intention of the little guy, but he was also coerced into getting on the thief ship - the two kings joined forces and finally met near Onozawa.

But Cao Pi never made a move, and it was rumored that he had already played the Son of Heaven to defend himself - at present, the song was still on the way, and the specific content could only be guessed.

As far as the information found so far, Cao Chong's headquarters is only a few thousand, as for Cao Zhi and Cao Kai, the two families together may be a thousand and zero, which is the imperial court failed to react for a while, otherwise the second and third county guards can calm down the chaos. Relying on these kittens and dogs alone, it is naturally difficult to succeed, and Cao Chong will not be reckless to such a point, the key is: he still has a lot of helpers!

The first group of helpers is the Tuntian soldiers, to be more precise, they are the twelve tun soldiers in Jiujiang County who have not yet been dismissed, with a total strength of about 3,000. The main body of these soldiers are the second generation of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans in the past. I think that after Cao Cao surrendered the Qingzhou army, he simplified his elite for his own use, and most of them were scattered in the tuntian of Yan and Henan, and they cultivated and fought. Later, Yuan Shu's forces in Huainan were pacified, and part of the Qingzhou army was ordered to go south and open up wasteland between Shouchun and Shaobi. At present, the commander of these cantonments is Bi Fang, the captain of the Diannong School, Zi Zili, and the people of Ben Dongping County, and as for whether Bi Fang led the cantonment troops to make a rebellion, or Cao Chong instigated the cantonment troops and hijacked Bi Fang, it is still unknown.

Cao Chong's second group of helpers, in terms of a large scope, also belongs to the Qingzhou military system - that is the historical "Qingxu Haoba" Zang Xuangao...... (To be continued.) )
