"You're still laughing, you're going to be hit tomorrow!" Yuan Shao was a little angry when he saw Cao Cao laughing, but Cao Cao said tepidly, "If we don't want to be beaten by the board, let's say this: the two of us secretly ran out to find a master to learn swordsmanship, but we got lost on the road, only by saying this, we won't be beaten." "Well, that's a good idea, Aman, do you think we two will go back?" "Can you go back? The gates were closed. "Yes...... Shall we spend the night here? "What are you afraid of spending the night here, we have swords." Cao Cao said as he got up and drew his sword to cut some hay, spread it in a pile, and pulled some more with his hands, lay down on the haystack, covered the rest of the hay on his body, and his whole body warmed up, "Originally, you can do the same, it's quite warm." ”

Yuan Shao also made some hay like Cao Cao and lay down under his body, and the two friends rested their heads and looked up at the starry sky with their hands on their heads, each thinking about their own thoughts.

In the past few days, Cao Cao has a knot in his heart that he has never been able to untie, he is about to reach the year of the crown ceremony, and the crown ceremony means that he has become an adult, and he must have a skill to become an adult in order to be based on the society, according to his father Cao Song's suggestion, let him learn literature, and in the future, he will seek a civil job in the court like Cao Song, but Cao Cao likes martial arts and advocates military attachés, especially recently he often listens to his father Cao Song talk about some unfair things that happened in the court, such as the eunuchs in the palace and the literati fighting each other, thinking of these things, Cao Cao wanted to practice martial arts more and more to kill those eunuchs and rebels.

The first party disaster in the Eastern Han Dynasty occurred in 166 A.D., because Henan Yin Li Ying and the court captain Feng Qi, officials Cheng Jin, Liu Zhi and others reported the corrupt officials in the court and the eunuchs violated the law and discipline and were persecuted by the eunuchs, Li Ying and others were imprisoned, Cheng Jin, Liu Zhi and others were killed, and Li Ying was also dismissed.

Li Ying is the head of the Eight Jun, (the Eight Jun people have Li Ying, Xun Yu, Du Mi, Wang Chang, Liu You, Wei Lang, Zhao Dian, Zhu Yu eight people), known as the model of the world, at that time the people of the Han Dynasty to noble character, not afraid of the power of the literati for the scholars, and later called the scholars, they and the three monarchs (the three monarchs for the relatives, the city gate captain Dou Wu, Shangshu Liu Shu, the Taiwei Chen Fan) united as a party, and the eunuch power struggle.

The younger brother of Zhang Rang, a frequent servant among the eunuchs, was beheaded by Li Ying for embezzlement and killing a pregnant woman, Zhang Rang held a grudge and falsely accused Li Ying and other befriended scholars to Emperor Huan of being party henchmen, slandering the court and plotting against him, Emperor Huan of Han was furious, and began to search and try the party, and important ministers such as Du Mi and Chen Xiang and Chen Yu and Fan Fan were all wanted. Taiwei Chen Fan thought that the "crime was not in order" and refused to sign the edict. Seeing that the edict could not take effect, Emperor Huan simply skipped the judicial procedure and directly let the eunuch be in charge of the Beisi Prison to hear the case. Li Ying, Chen Yu, Fan Fan and others went to prison in anger and were tortured by Miki without changing their ways.

Emperor Huan Dou's father, Huaili Hou Dou Wu, sympathized with the scholars, and wrote to intercede in the following year (that is, in 167 AD), and Li Ying and others deliberately confessed to the children of eunuchs in prison. The eunuchs and others were afraid of implicating themselves, so they made a statement to Emperor Huan, saying that it was time for the day to grant amnesty to the world, so on June Gengshen Day of the same year, they changed to Yuankang and granted amnesty to the world. The party members were released, but they were released into the fields and deposed for life, which is known in history as the "first disaster of the party"

The first battle for the party and the eunuch ended with the victory of the eunuchs, and the government and the opposition were all afraid of the power of the eunuchs.

Cao Song, who was the lieutenant of Sili at that time, witnessed all this, and hated the eunuchs who participated in the political chaos very much, and was indignant in his heart, but he did not dare to speak out in the book, and only returned home to talk about these things in front of his wife, Cao Cao was young and vigorous, and he was even more angry after hearing about it, and he wanted to raise his sword to kill these eunuchs and eliminate harm for the country, but this was just a thought, and it was really a pipe dream to eradicate those eunuchs by his own strength. Thinking about this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

Yuan Shao also thought that Cao Cao was lamenting for the bride's business, and quipped, "Aman, what is there to sigh, we are the children of the official eunuchs, the rich party, if we marry a lady, we must be more beautiful than this bride, we didn't report our names at the time, if we reported the name, it will definitely frighten the people of that family, maybe the family will obediently give us the bride." "Stinky beauty," Cao Cao said, "do you think that if you have power, you can overwhelm people?" This may be possible, but how is it different from a bully? It's not this that I'm sighing about, it's about today's events. "What's going on?" "The disaster of Jue, the eunuch's chaos." "Snort," Yuan Shao tilted his head to the side disdainfully, "Just these things, I think you should save your worries, the three ministers don't dare to ask, how can you be a nameless junior?" "That's why I sighed." "You can only sigh." "Now the government is chaotic, the eunuchs are in charge, and the virtuous and powerful men are suppressed and persecuted, if this continues, the society is in turmoil, the government is unstable, and the world will be in chaos."

"Sneer, one by one" Yuan Shao sneered again, "It's messy, what do you have to do with us, you better save your worries, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep." "Alas," Cao Cao sighed softly, and muttered to himself, "what do we have to do with it? Yuan Benchu, you don't want to think about it, we are all eunuchs, and the fourth and third princes of your family are even more rich and noble, isn't this all the blessing of the court? If the world is chaotic and the court is not guaranteed, how can the wealth of you and me be guaranteed? Yuan Shao was a little anxious when he heard that Pan Ran woke up, sat up and said, "Meng De is reasonable, then you say, what should we do?" "I don't know what to do, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep." With that, Cao Cao tilted his body to the side, closed his eyes and snored......

I don't know how long I slept, when I woke up, Cao Cao saw that it was already dark, and there were bursts of chicken cries in the distant village, in this rooster crow, Cao Cao suddenly heard a faint sound of sword fighting, Cao Cao's heart couldn't help but move, got up and sat up, and listened attentively, as if someone was fighting a duel not far away, Cao Cao hurriedly woke up Yuan Shao and said, "Originally, you listen, someone is fighting not far away." Yuan Shao also heard the sound of swords, and hurriedly sat up. Let's go, let's take a look. Cao Cao said that he pulled Yuan Shao and got up and ran in the direction of the sound of swords, the sound became clearer and clearer, on the edge of a jungle, Cao Cao saw two people fighting with swords from a distance, Cao Cao slowed down, bowed, and walked forward with the barren grass, Yuan Shao followed closely.

Getting closer and closer, Cao Cao squatted down, and saw that the two people fighting in front of him were all bearded and long-haired, covered in green clothes, one was like an ape, and the other was as burly and majestic as a tiger. Cao Cao was stunned. After a while, one of them shouted "Stop!" Both of them put away their swords, inserted their swords back into their sheaths, looked up to the sky and laughed, and the swordsman with a majestic body said, "Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a few years, your swordsmanship has made great progress, and it has reached the point of being superb, I admire and admire Tong!" The slightly thinner swordsman said, "Where is it, Brother Tong Yuan's swordsmanship is also good, Brother Tong Yuan is good at marksmanship, if Brother Tong Yuan uses a gun, I'm afraid I won't be an opponent." "Hahahaha," the strong man smiled, "Brother Wang Yue has won awards, I Tong Yuan has walked the rivers and lakes all my life, and there are countless martial artists, but Brother Wang Yue's swordsmanship makes me admire, and I still have to ask Brother Wang Yue for more advice." The thin man clasped his fists and said, "We should all learn from each other's strengths to make up for our own shortcomings." ”

The fat man smiled again, and arched his hand, "Brother Wang, my Tong has come this time, and I have lived in my brother's house for this period of time, and I am tired of my brother, Tong Yuan has thanked me here, and I will say goodbye, we will meet later." "There will be a date later." Wang Yue arched his hand. The fat man bowed and turned away. This fat man's surname is Tong Mingyuan, a native of Penglai, Shandong, is a martial arts master in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, good at making spears, martial arts, walking the rivers and lakes all his life, receiving disciples Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren, and then accepting Zhao Yun as a closed disciple, teaching what he has learned all his life, and the thin man's surname is Wang Mingyue, his ancestral home is Luoyang, and he is good at making long swords, and he is the most famous swordsman in the Beijing area.

This time Tong Yuan came to Beijing to learn swordsmanship with Wang Yue, Tong Yuan's spear is invincible in the world, but swordsmanship is still inferior to Wang Yue, Tong Yuan has also lived in Beijing for a while, almost every morning with Wang Yue came to this wilderness to practice swordsmanship, swordsmanship has been mentioned, of course, Wang Yue also learned a lot of Tong Yuan's marksmanship, the two can be said to be friends with martial arts, and become close friends with martial arts.

Looking at the back of Tong Yuan's departure, Wang Yue was a little lost in his heart, turned around and just wanted to leave, suddenly heard the sound of grass not far away, Wang Yue turned his head to look, and found Cao Cao, Wang Yue shouted, "What person?" Come out! ”

In fact, there is no need for Wang Yue to shout, Cao Cao has already wanted to run out. This person's swordsmanship is too masterful, isn't this the master that Cao Cao dreams of? Cao Cao took the lead in running out of the grass, knelt down in front of Wang Yue on both knees, and kowtowed directly, "The master is above, and he will be worshiped by the apprentice!" ”

Wang Yue was a little confused, how could an apprentice run out of this grass? "Who are you? Hurry up. ”

Cao Cao kowtowed, "The disciple Cao Cao is Cao Cao, the grandson of Cao Teng of the Great Changqiu and the eldest son of Cao Song, the captain of the Sili School. Wang Yue nodded and said, "It turned out to be Cao Gongzi, hurry up." "I hope that Master Wang will accept me as a disciple, and the disciple will learn your swordsmanship."

Wang Yue looked at Cao Cao, seeing that Cao Cao was fat, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "It's okay to accept you as a disciple, but I don't know what Ling Zun means?" You'd better go home. Cao Cao understood what Wang Yue meant, and arched his hand, "Dare to ask the master's name?" "Under Wang Yue."

When Cao Cao asked again, Wang Yue turned to leave, his steps were light, like the wind, and he disappeared among the vast barren grass in a blink of an eye.
