Volume 1: Xu Du Fengyun Chapter 48: The Current Situation, His Father and His Son
Although Cao Ang was more eager to take charge of the army, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could lead a large army, and he planned strategies, food and equipment, marching formations, and so on...... Each of these items is enough to make people anxious, if he is just a pioneer and is responsible for charging into battle, although it is a little dangerous, Cao Ang is still happy.
Although now he is in charge of the Forbidden Palace Guard, he also has the responsibility of resisting foreign insults, and nodded after a moment's thought, "Ang is naturally interested." Xun Yu said in his heart that what he expected was not bad, and the eldest prince was still very willing to charge into battle. The expedition was naturally the self-proclaimed "Dazhong" emperor, Yuan Shu Yuan Highway.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers. The Yuan family where they are located can be described as a famous family in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the so-called four generations and three dukes, it can not be said that it is not noble, and the Yuan family of Runan was very famous at that time.
When Yuan Shu was Emperor Ling, the second son of Sikong Yuan Feng, note that he was the second son. This is also the reason why Yuan Shu looks down on Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao is Yuan Shu's half-brother, but Yuan Shao was born to a concubine, Yuan Shao is a concubine, Yuan Shu is a concubine, and Yuan Shu's identity is more noble than Yuan Shao.
At first, the Yuan brothers followed the general He Jin at first, at that time, the general He Jin was killed by the ten permanent servants, and then Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the world was in chaos.
After the failure to fight Dong, the Yuan brothers each "flew solo" and became the separatists of one side. At this time, Yuan Shu's entrenched territory can be described as a cross-state county, with a population of millions, which can not be said to be not strong, if Yuan Shu and his brother Yuan Benchu joined forces, Cao Cao really did not dare to attack him, but Yuan Highway dared to risk the world's great inaction, and established himself as the emperor, which caused a lot of princes to be disgusted.
"Sikong issued an edict with His Majesty before, and the traitor Yuan Shu spied on the artifact of the Han Dynasty and established himself as a puppet emperor, and all the princes of the world could be ordered to attack the rebels." Cao Ang blinked and asked, "What's going on over there in Hebei?" Xun You smiled and said, "Even though Yuan Benchu is strong, he doesn't dare to support Yuan Shu, even if he is supportive, he doesn't see the slightest bit of support." Cao Ang nodded, and couldn't help but sigh, "The Great Han Zuo General of the year is about to get cold." "Listening to what Xun You said, today's princes are eager to crush Yuan Shu's bones and scatter ashes, even the princes of a county such as Pi Lu Bu and Wancheng Zhang Xiu also condemned Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is the enemy of the world with his ability?
Xun You told a story to Cao Ang, not long ago, the rumors about the birth of the Qilin and the "representative of the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao" in the area of Shouchun were so loud that almost everyone was talking about it.
The mediocre people naturally look at the excitement, but the children of the elite scholars cannot look at this matter so simply. The unicorn descended into the world, the Han dynasty should be Tu Gao, these two things are connected together, it is easy to find out what comes, after having the jade seal of the country, there will be followers of Yuan Shu to set up a name, what celestial phenomena show people, what auspicious Rui Linfan, and then all return to the will of heaven, what panic dare not bear, not three times not to accept, and finally can not withstand the support of the ministers, "helpless" under the only emperor.
So after Yuan Shu got the jade seal from Sun Ce, he began to prepare for the title of emperor. It just so happened that at this time, the Hanoi warlock Zhang Gang told the fortune for Yuan Shu, saying that he had the destiny to be the emperor, which strengthened Yuan Shu's ambition to steal the number to entertain himself. Sure enough, in the fourth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu risked the disapproval of the world, proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun sacrifice, established the name Zhong, and set up a hundred officials. After the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor spread, the world was shocked and accused him of being rebellious.
At this time, there are more than a dozen princes in the world, and there are many people who want to be called the king and the emperor, but the vast majority of them are afraid of public opinion condemnation, and Cao Mengde, who has great righteousness in hand, does not dare to do it easily, let alone the princes? didn't dare to do this openly, but now that Yuan Shu took the initiative to stand up and do it, he naturally became the target of public criticism. Therefore, as soon as Yuan Shu announced the news of being the emperor, Sun Ce, who was attached to him, announced that he would sever relations with him, and the tripartite forces of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu also took this opportunity to prepare to "group beat" Yuan Shu.
At the same time, there was a severe drought in Jianghuai for many years, there was no harvest, the people had no way to make a living, and even the tragedy of cannibalism occurred, and even the army with Yuan Shu also had a large-scale food shortage and defection, which was tantamount to "adding insult to injury" to him. Hebei Yuan Shu did not express his position, which made Cao Cao's mentality firmer, and sealed Jiangdong Sun Ce as Wu Chenghou and Lujiang Taishou, and was not stingy with Lu Bu, and sold Yuan Shu's position, and the name of General Zuo was given to Lu Bu, with great righteousness in hand and actual interests, how could these two forces not do their best to help Cao Cao?
After talking freely on the car for a long time, the carriage slowly stopped in front of Sikong Mansion, and after Cao Ang got out of the car, he saluted Xun You, "I won't disturb the son's family banquet." He said with a smile on his lips. Mr. OUHK walked slowly. When Xun Yu's frame was completely out of sight, Cao Ang straightened up.
It's not so polite, it's really a sore back, the butler trotted out to support Cao Ang, and asked with some surprise, "But who didn't open his eyes and hurt his son?" Cao Ang shook his head and said with some embarrassment, "It's nothing, it's okay, it's a stretch, don't tight, don't tight." "The little lady's skin is really tight, Cao Ang couldn't help but smack his tongue and sighed, before he was on top of the car, Cao Ang endured the discomfort, straightened up, and got out of the car If it wasn't for the housekeeper to come and help, Cao Ang really couldn't get up for a while.
Cao Ang bent down slightly, entered the Sikong Mansion with the support of the housekeeper, and asked, "Uncle Cao, why is the mansion so quiet today?" ”
"This morning, the eldest lady led a group of family members to Xiangguo Temple to pray for the eldest son's blessing and disaster." What a big battle, Cao Ang smacked his lips, and asked again, "Father didn't go?" ”
"Sikong has been waiting in the house for Childe to come back." As he spoke, he came to the door of the room, "Tu, Du, Du" The steward knocked lightly on the door three times, and Cao Cao's nasal voice came from inside the room, "What's the matter?" ”
"The eldest prince is back, sir." The steward replied respectfully, "Well, let him in." "There was Cao Cao's sound from the ancient well. The steward looked at Cao Ang, Cao Ang nodded, held his waist with one hand, and patted the steward's shoulder with the other, "You go and get busy." ”
After the housekeeper left, Cao Ang took a deep breath, pushed the door into the house, and saw Cao Cao closing his eyes to recuperate, stretching out his tongue and licking some dry lips, closing the door tightly, and walking to Cao Cao leisurely, slowly kneeling on the ground, his forehead against the carpet, not how guilty he was, but his waist was sore, and this posture could slightly relieve the discomfort in Cao Ang's waist, "Father, the child is back." ”
Cao Cao glanced at him and said, "Ah, the great hero is back, how can he kneel on the ground, get up." "It's just talking, and he didn't even raise half a hand," the child knelt. Cao Ang said with black lines on his face.
Cao Cao saw him kneeling on the ground, holding his waist with one hand, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?" Someone executed you? ”
Cao Ang shook his head, remembering the woman's cry in the balcony and water pavilion that night, praising and praising each other, singing and harmonizing, unbearable words, the "battle situation" was simply intense, every word, every breath was still fresh in my memory, and I couldn't forget it. It seemed to be the first woman in the true sense of the word in the world...... Shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
"You like to kneel so much?" Cao Ang stretched out his hand and said, "I hope my father will pull me." Cao Cao pouted, the boss reluctantly got up, went over and dragged him up, walked to the table and asked him to sit down, "Are you hurt?" Cao Ang blushed and said, "It's really hard to speak." Cao Cao glared, "The big husband acts, why do you have to swallow and vomit?" What can't be said directly? Cao Ang opened his mouth, how could he open his mouth when he said this? Under Cao Cao's angry gaze, Cao Ang sighed, leaned into Cao Cao's ear, and whispered, Cao Cao showed a strange look on his face, glanced at Cao Ang, Cao Ang nodded, Cao Cao pursed his lips and didn't know what to say, got up and paced back and forth, looking at Cao Ang from time to time, there was some relief, anger, or a little teachable meaning in his eyes.
Then Cao Cao walked over, squatted in front of Cao Ang, and said word by word, "She knows this kind of thing, you know, I know it now, and no one else must know about it." Cao Ang rolled his eyes, is this something very honorable? Why is it so brainless that it is made public? If it spreads, won't it become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats?
"Rotten in the heart." Cao Cao set the tone for this matter, Cao Ang naturally nodded in agreement, but Cao Cao did not mention his abuse of Fu Xin, perhaps in Cao Cao's cognition, he felt that the evil obstacle deserved to be this way, Cao Ang just made him a "no-finger" or cheap him.
"The conquest of Yuan Shu in the future, with Zixiao in charge, Gongda proposes to let you be the vanguard, what do you think?" Cao Cao changed the subject and asked Cao Ang.
Xun Youye had already talked to Cao Ang about this matter in the car before, so Cao Ang didn't react much after hearing what Cao Cao said, scratched his head and said, "If the father allows, the child will naturally take on the responsibility of the pioneer." "The conquest of Yuan Shu, its no assistance, Cao Cao Xu a lord and a general, with the support of Sun and Lu, drove Liu Bei to serve in front of the battle, so Liu Bei is the deputy commander of the expedition against Yuan Shu, and not to mention whether he has real power, this is based on his identity as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the political title given to him, "Do you know what is the most important thing in this expedition, in addition to exterminating Yuan Shu?" ”
"I may not know anything else, but since Liu Xuande is here, I have to watch him carefully, not only to let him work hard but not to let him steal the limelight." Cao Cao nodded, "You have a fairly gentle temperament, I don't have to worry about what you will do too outrageous, follow Zixiao's orders, pay attention to safety in everything, and wait for you to come back to celebrate your achievements." Cao Cao patted Cao Ang on the shoulder and said, Cao Ang nodded and said to Cao Ang, "I will not disappoint my father." ”
"This son really misses me more and more." Cao Cao thought so in his heart.
Cao Ang also scolded in his stomach: "I'm becoming more and more like Lao Cao." ”
