Chapter 404: Stubborn
Of course, Xiahou Chong was not convinced by Cao Hong's reprimand, and he retorted: "Uncle, you have accumulated countless fortunes in the past few years, and it is not wrong to say that you are rich and rival the country. Your Majesty's punishment of your sins is not to eliminate harm for the people in the way of heaven? ”
"Babble!" Cao Hong was furious, kicked over a low table in the tent, opened his eyes angrily, grabbed Xiahou Chong's collar with one hand~ and scolded: "Fart, let go of your ma's fart!" ”
When Xiahou Chong's personal soldiers saw that their general was caught, they drew ~ out their waist knives with "Qiang Qiang", and they were about to pounce on Cao Hong to fight. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Dong Wan hurriedly stepped forward to persuade the two, and while pulling the two apart, he said: "The two of you are angry, you are angry, they are all your own family, don't be angry, don't be angry, if you have something to say......"
Cao Hong snorted, let go of the hand that grabbed Xiahou Chong's collar, Xiahou Chong tidied up the messed collar, waved his hand, and said to his soldiers: "It's okay, you can retreat." ”
"However, the general ......" several pro-soldiers said a little worriedly.
"It's okay, this is Lechenghou, it won't be anything to Ben, you guys go out first, we have something to talk about." Xiahou Chong considered that the conversation between the three of them involved the affairs of the emperor and the royal family, and there were many disrespectful words, so it was better for fewer people to hear this kind of words, so he ordered the soldiers to withdraw from the tent, but as for the safety issue, he was not very worried.
Dong Wan was right just now, in fact, everyone is their own family, the Xiahou family and the Cao family are like a family, Cao Hong is also an uncle who watched him grow up, although he was angry just now, he didn't think about doing anything excessive to himself. Besides, the commander is surrounded by his own army, even if they harm themselves, how can they escape in the midst of thousands of troops?
After the soldiers withdrew, Cao Hong said: "The husband is not guilty of his crimes, what he said about stealing and robbing the people's fat and ointment is just a crime deliberately fabricated by Cao Pi'er who wanted to obtain the old man's hundreds of millions of net worth to replenish military funds."
The old man's wealth is all legal business income, and every penny is innocent, how can he say that he has to loot the people's fat and people's ointment? The old man dares to swear to the sky, he has never done anything to take advantage of it, can't you see others getting rich?
Hum! There is no excuse for the sin you want to add, you people are simply hating the rich for no reason. Cao Pi blamed the old man for no reason, in addition to wanting to seek the old man's net worth, another reason was to find an excuse to take revenge on the events of the year. But do you know that the old man didn't lend him money back then because he didn't want to get involved in the dispute over the heir, do you really think that the old man is such a stingy person?
He can inflict sin on me today without scruples, and tomorrow he will punish you for nothing. You wait, no matter how much credit you make for him today, when he doesn't need you, you will be the next lackey and a good bow. The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, the birds are gone, and the matter of good bow hiding will definitely happen to you, you can see when you go. ”
"I don't believe that Your Majesty is that kind of person, You and Your Majesty have known each other since childhood, and they are like siblings, how can Your Majesty do this to You. Uncle, why do you want to sow discord here? ”
"Hmph, sow discord? Brotherhood? Why don't you see what your good majesty does to his own brother? You don't know what happened to Zhi'er. If you treat your own brother like this, what will happen to a person with a foreign surname like you? ”
Xiahou Chong was speechless for a while, what Cao Hong said was indeed an irrefutable fact, after Cao Pi came to power, there were many persecutions against his brother, that is, his former rivals, especially Cao Zhi, if he hadn't been a little impatient, he would have been killed by him long ago if he was not a little anxious and wise, and he would have been killed by him if he was ashamed and embarrassed.
Even then, Cao Zhi was finally relegated to a place where birds don't pull ~, and finally died of depression. It can be said that Cao Pi is very bad to his biological brother, so, like Xiahou Chong
Are these just the same people with different surnames he has known since childhood?
Cao Pi, even if he is not ruthless and unrighteous, has absolutely nothing to do with affection and righteousness. He was not very good to his brothers and uncles, and he did not have any special courtesy to other courtiers, at most he was just decent.
His character, as an emperor, especially an emperor who has not yet settled in the world, is very unqualified. If it was in the Taiping period, when the previous emperor had unified the world, after governance, the world had settled down, and experienced a prosperous era, it was the time when the country was rich and the people were strong, then it would not be a big problem for an emperor like him to come to power.
After all, the country's heritage is there, even if there are one or two mediocre emperors tossing around, they can't toss the country's vitality for a while. Besides, Cao Pi is not too mediocre, at least he is a gentleman who has not developed enough but has more than enough to keep.
However, now the situation is completely different, Cao Cao did not have time to unify the world, nor did he govern a peaceful and prosperous world, and now the world is still divided into three parts, and there are strong enemies outside, so he should work hard internally, unite all the forces that can be united, and resist foreign aggression with one heart.
However, his personality and style of behavior caused him to lose many people's hearts, which undoubtedly accelerated the demise of the Wei State. Xiahou Chong was thinking about his thoughts alone, Cao Hong disdained to talk to him again, and the two sides fell into a short silence.
I don't know how long it took, Dong Wan was the first to break the silence, he said: "Don't be angry, these things are actually not a big deal, the matter of Lecheng waiting for you has passed, there is no need to mention it again." And General Xiahou's matter has not happened yet, thinking about it now is tantamount to mediocrity disturbing himself.
Let's not talk about these things, let's get back to the point. General Xiahou, you guessed it right, the two of us went up the mountain today to invite you to join the Shu Han camp. Of course, it is also to save the lives of the general and the 50,000 horses under you.
I believe that the general is also a person who understands, you should know that with the current combat strength of the Shu Han army, the general's 50,000 people are not even enough to stuff people's teeth. If the general does not surrender, it is estimated that the army of Shu under the mountain will launch a strong attack within a few days, and it is difficult to say how many people will be able to escape with their lives by then. ”
After Dong visited Xiahou Chong and encountered the Shu army, he did not dare to fight with it, but fled up the mountain as soon as possible, and it can be inferred that this guy is a person who understands, knows the gap between the two armies, and knows that he can't do the thing of using the mantis arm as a car, so he doesn't go around the bend, and says straight to the point.
However, Xiahou Chong didn't appreciate it, and only listened to him: "No matter what, Xiahou can't do that disloyal and unrighteous thing." Please go back, both of you. ”
"You" Dong Wan pointed at his nose, and his anger froze for a while, "Why are you so stubborn, even if you are not afraid of death and do not cherish your little life, but what about the 50,000 soldiers under your command?" Have you ever thought about them?
That's 50,000 lives, and everyone has a family, parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters. When they die in battle, they destroy 50,000 families. How many tears and tragedies will this bring, have you thought about it? Can you bear to watch your men's homes ruin? ”
"Humph! Dying on the battlefield is the best destination for soldiers, and since they are eating this bowl of rice, they have long expected that there will be this day, and there is nothing to say. Xiahou said.
PS. Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I wish you all a happy new year, good health, and all the best.
