Chapter 281: Loyal Ministers Shed Blood and Fight Battles
I think that during the battle of Hanzhong that year, Cao Cao and Liu Bei competed against each other in Hanzhong, and saw that Liu Bei ordered Liu Feng to challenge the generals of the Wei army, so angry that Cao Cao scolded Liu Bei:
"Sell your shoes, and make the false son reject your father!"
Cao Cao himself was a very strategic person, and his scolding skills were also quite skilled, and Liu Bei was also very angry after learning Cao Cao's words insulting him.
It's a pity that Cao Pi, as Cao Cao's successor, not only did he not inherit Cao Cao's majestic strategy, but he didn't even learn Cao Cao's scolding skills.
After Cao Pi kicked through the book because of the huge shame and anger in his heart, he could only scold Mi Yang for being a rebel and a female thief over and over again.
The leader of the usurper Han scolded General Zuo of the Han Dynasty as a female thief and a traitor, if such a thing is recorded in the history books, I don't know how many people will laugh at Cao Pi in the future.
But now Cao Pi, who is in a rage, doesn't care if there is a problem with his abusive words, he is now angry and lost his mind by Mi Yang's commotion.
According to the intelligence, there were many groups of Han light cavalry roaming around Nanyang County with two wooden signs.
Whenever a group of Han light cavalry arrived outside a county town, the Han light cavalry would go to the city wall and read aloud the two sentences on the plaque: "The thief is afraid of the Han like a tiger, but it is really a woman's behavior".
They feared that the defenders of the city would not know what was written on the wooden signs.
What's even more infuriating is that there is also a well-equipped Han cavalry squad, carrying a brocade box with a woman's dress, swaggering towards Wancheng.
Of course, there are a large number of Wei troops guarding inside and outside Wancheng, so it is impossible for this Han cavalry to really come to the vicinity of Wancheng.
They took Wancheng as the direction, and spread the news that the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty gave gifts to the lord of the anti-Wei Dynasty.
Because the brocade box was open, all the items inside were seen very clearly by officials at all levels on the city wall when the Han cavalry passed outside the county seat.
In the brocade box, the beads and hairpins are shaking, rouge and gouache, and everything is dressed up by the daughter's family.
Originally, these were all prepared by Mi Xuan for Guan Yan.
The magistrates of the counties in Nanyang County, after seeing this scene and thinking of the two sentences that have been widely spread recently, do not know who this women's clothing was given to Wancheng by the Han army.
But it was just knowing that it made the officials at all levels of Great Wei feel frightened.
The light cavalry army is just like entering a no-man's land, and they dare to be so arrogant.
Even dare to directly humiliate the Son of Heaven Cao Pi and compare him to a woman?
And it was precisely because Cao Pi knew that Mi Yang had already made a fuss in Nanyang County about comparing him to a woman, so he felt extremely angry.
It is already a great shame for a seven-foot man to be compared to a woman, not to mention that he is still the identity of the Son of Heaven.
Now this kind of shame and humiliation is spreading widely in Nanyang County, and it will not be long before it spreads throughout the Central Plains, and finally all over the world.
He Cao Pi is about to become the laughing stock of the world.
Today, Mi Yang gave him women's clothes than Cao Pi noticed that he was deceived by Meng Da before, which made him feel humiliated.
Because Meng Da's determination is too great, Cao Pi believes that he can be understood by the world.
But now Mi Yang gave her women's clothes, and he slapped him in the face directly in front of the world, how could Cao Pi endure such a shame? ….
Cao Pi, whose face was flushed with anger, looked at Chen Jiao with a pair of cold eyes, and he tried his best to keep some sanity so that he could say a sentence completely.
"Why don't you send troops to stop the cavalry of the thief army, why?"
Cao Pi almost yelled at Chen Jiao to ask this sentence.
And his words were full of cold chill, when the chill in Cao Pi's words was captured by Chen Jiao, he was already in the cold winter season, and he couldn't help but shiver.
When Chen Jiao's eyes met Cao Pi's eyes that were leaping with angry flames, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down to Cao Pi.
At this moment, it doesn't matter what kind of literati you are.
But fortunately, Chen Jiao is not a person who is not familiar with military affairs like Chen Qun, and in the face of Cao Pi's angry questioning, Chen
Jiao quickly organized his words and replied to Cao Pidao:
"Before, His Majesty ordered all the cities of Nanyang County, without the emperor's order, only to defend the city and not to fight.
Therefore, when the counties saw the small cavalry of the enemy, they did not stop it."
"Even if the county magistrate wants to attack the enemy's small cavalry, the enemy's cavalry is all light cavalry, coming and going like the wind, our army can't do it!"
"And by the time Wancheng received the news, it was already too late, and the news had already spread!"
Chen Jiao's explanation undoubtedly sprinkled a handful of salt in Cao Pi's wounds.
It turns out that he has "credit" for the current situation.
Before Jia Xu left, he had advised Cao Pi to "defend instead of attack", so Cao Pi gave that order.
But what I didn't expect was that this order helped the Han army instead.
Thinking of this, Cao Pi felt that he had been hurt by Qi's liver.
Cao Pi looked at Chen Jiao who knelt down to explain to him, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Chen Jiao, and Chen Jiao, who saw this scene, turned pale with fright.
Chen Jiao thought that Cao Pi was going to kill him to vent his anger.
After Cao Pi pointed his fingers and tried to calm down some emotions, he squeezed out four words from between his teeth:
"Gather the ministers! Gather the courtiers!"
Hearing Cao Pi's order, Chen Jiaoru was pardoned, and he immediately got up and ran towards the outside of the main hall.
Chen Jiao's movements were very eager, he had never seen Cao Pi so angry, he felt that if he was a moment later, he would be killed by Cao Pi to sacrifice the flag.
Chen Jiao was very witty, and he knew what Cao Pi was calling the ministers for at this time.
And although he knew that it was irrational, Chen Jiao still didn't dare to persuade at all.
He didn't want to die.
Before the threat of death, Chen Jiao, who had always been known for his outspokenness and daring advice, decisively chose to act according to Cao Pi's orders.
And when Chen Jiao left, Cao Pi's afterglow once again aimed at the information in his hand, and he couldn't help but cover his chest angrily.
Since you can't bear it, you don't need to endure it anymore!
As soon as he thought that this incident would be recorded in the history books in the future and become a stain on his life, Cao Pi's heart and liver were aching.
Under Chen Jiao's summoning, all the ministers who were currently in Wancheng quickly came towards the main hall where Cao Pi was.
And along the way, the ministers all had a look of shame on their faces.
Mi Yang's gift of women's clothes to Cao Pi, since it has spread in Nanyang County, it is natural that it cannot be hidden from them. ….
The Lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the Lord is humiliated by the death of the ministers.
It's just that under that look of shame, there is still a look of worry.
At present, the ministers of Cao Wei who can be in Wancheng are all people with extraordinary knowledge, and of course they know what Mi Yang's move is for.
It was nothing more than to provoke Cao Pi and ask him to order Zhang Liao to send troops.
Although the ministers of Cao Wei did not think that Zhang Liao would definitely defeat his own side if he sent troops, the lord should not raise troops out of anger, which is a truth that everyone knows.
Based on Cao Pi's understanding of Cao Pi, they thought that Cao Pi was likely to order Zhang Liao to send troops in anger.
That's why they're worried.
Some familiar ministers exchanged ideas with each other before entering the main hall, and they agreed that if Cao Pi insisted on sending troops, then they would advise together.
It's just that when the ministers entered the hall one after another, looking at the mess in front of Cao Pi, all the ministers had a look of fear on their faces.
How angry is Your Majesty?
How can this be admonished!
Cao Pi sat on the throne with a gloomy face, watching the ministers arrive one after another.
In the time he had just waited for the ministers to arrive, Cao Pi barely allowed himself to regain his composure on the surface.
It's just that his face is still gloomy and terrible.
When most of the courtiers had arrived, Cao Pi said in a hoarse voice to the important ministers present:
"I am determined to give the order for General Wei to send troops to repel the thief army."
After saying this,
Cao Pi looked at the ministers present with cold eyes and continued:
"Today, you must offer me a strategy for using troops."
When Cao Pi finished saying this, the faces of the ministers of Cao Wei present appeared in shock.
They had guessed that Cao Pi would be angry and raise troops under Mi Yang's actions, but they didn't expect Cao Pi's mood to be so urgent that he would come up with a specific strategy for advancing the army today.
Although the ministers knew that Cao Pi's move was very unwise, most of them saw Cao Pi's extremely gloomy face, and most of them dared to come out to admonish.
It's just that there are hundreds of ministers on the field, and there are still some people who are upright and honest, and they really have Great Wei Sheji in mind.
Bao Xun, who was also the lieutenant of the horse at the time, came out and admonished Cao Pijin: "The only urgent thing today is to defend the frontier. It is not advisable to take the initiative to send troops."
Bao Xunzi Shuye is the famous family of Taishan County.
Bao Xun's father is Bao Xin, and Bao Xin is a good friend of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei.
Later, Bao Xin died on the battlefield because of saving Cao Cao, and it can be said that Bao Xin was Cao Cao's savior.
Because of Bao Xin, after Bao Xun became an adult, Cao Cao promoted Bao Xun a lot, and when Cao Pi was still the prince, he made him Cao Pi's middle concubine and auxiliary him.
But it's a pity that Bao Xun has a straightforward personality and is not afraid of power, so he has offended Cao Pi several times.
Even because of his own resentment, as the crown prince at the beginning, he secretly conspired to prevent Bao Xun from being promoted.
Cao Pi, who wanted to kill someone, saw that Bao Xun, who had always disobeyed him in the past, dared to disobey him in person at this time, and his eyes had already flashed with killing intent.
He stood up with a sneer, slowly walked to Bao Xun's side, and asked him, "If our army does not attack, will we wait for the enemy to kill themselves?" ….
"If that's the case, where is the prestige of my Great Wei Heavenly Dynasty!"
Most of the Cao Wei ministers present heard that Cao Pi had already moved his killing intent at this time, Bao Xun didn't hear it, but he was dedicated to the Cao family, and he still persistently advised:
"When Emperor Wu was alive, he often used his troops with wisdom and never acted rashly.
Your Majesty inherits the great cause, just following the previous generations, so that the eternal world can also be followed. How can you march in anger and war!
"In addition, the king's master has repeatedly conquered and has not overcome it, and there are many talents in the south, and it is difficult to pull out by blocking the mountains and rivers.
This year, the chariot died, the head was on the south bank, and it has not yet been found, and now His Majesty marches angrily, and his subordinates are bold.
If there is no harmony in the matter, then Nanyang is in danger, and now the army is far away, the daily cost is a thousand dollars, and China is wasted, so that the captives play with power, and the ministers think it is impossible.
The minister risked death to hear it, but His Majesty will see it."
Bao Xun's admonition made the ministers present all change their color.
Bao Xun not only stated in his admonition that Cao Pi sent troops out of his will, but also made it clear that if he sent troops like this, it might end badly.
In the past, Cao Pi might not have accepted such advice, let alone now?
And after Cao Pi listened to Bao Xun's advice, his anger that he had been forcibly suppressed could no longer be controlled.
He immediately turned around and picked up a stack of bamboo slips from the ground, and then smashed them hard at Bao Xun's head.
This stack of bamboo slips was sent from all over the country, and it was one of the books in the household registration fields.
When the bamboo slip with a heavy weight smashed on Bao Xun's head, it instantly caused blood stains on Bao Xun's head, and Bao Xun was also smashed to the ground by this sudden bamboo slip.
The bright red blood on Bao Xun's head did not calm Cao Pi down, but instead angrily pointed at the bamboo slips on the ground, and scolded Bao Xun loudly:
"Open your eyes and see, the national strength of our dynasty recorded on this bamboo slip! The national strength of our dynasty is more than ten times that of the south, how can our army lose with this national strength?"
"Great Wei is the orthodox son of China, and I am the orthodox son of heaven in China, and I am the son of heaven who is ordered by heaven! Now that the thief dares to insult me, as my courtier, you don't worry about me, and you want me to turn a blind eye to this matter?"
When Cao Pi is opposed
After Bao Xun, who had just gotten up, shouted these words, all the ministers in the entire hall were silent.
They knew that Cao Pi's words were not only said to Bao Xun, but also to them.
"I know that Mi Yang and Guan Yu are trying to lure me into battle, but so what. The thief army has an army of 60,000, could it be that the strength of the Great Wei is weaker than theirs?"
"The thief army has generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, don't I have the Great Wei? If the thieves want to fight so much, then I will fulfill them!"
After saying the above words, Cao Pi turned to look at Bao Xun, whose face was already covered with blood, and the cruel look on his face could no longer be hidden.
"As for you, Bao Xun, it is really an unforgivable sin to be sensational in front of me and try to disturb the morale of the army."
"Someone! Drag Bao Xun down to prison and punish him!"
When Cao Pi issued this order, the Wei soldiers in the main hall immediately stepped forward like wolves to tie up Bao Xun.
And Cao Pi's order also frightened the ministers present.
Immediately, many ministers came out to intercede for Bao Xun, including Sima Yi, Xin Bi, Wei Zhen, Gao Rou, Chen Jiao, etc. ….
No matter how Bao Xun is, he is also a famous family, and it is impossible for them, who are also from the scholar clan, to be indifferent to his unjust killing.
"Father has a credit to Taizu, please forgive him."
And in the past, if so many ministers came out to advise, Cao Pi would definitely think about it.
But Cao Pi, who has now been annihilated by anger, angrily reprimanded these ministers of the family that he relied on in the past:
"Xun has no life! You want to die!"
Cao Pi's angry rebuke succeeded in deterring the ministers who were present, and they stopped pleading and watched as Bao Xun, whose face was covered in blood, was dragged away.
And when Bao Xun was dragged away, he did not beg for mercy, but let out bursts of desolate laughter from his mouth.
Taizu, why didn't you set up the Marquis of the Plains in the first place!
The sound of Bao Xun's dying laughter constantly wafted through the hall, causing fear in the hearts of many ministers.
After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he showed his ruthlessness to the scholars for the first time, and if Cao Cao saw this scene in the sky, he would be happy.
But if Cao Cao's spirit in heaven knew that Cao Pi's ruthlessness was used on his benefactor's son Bao Xun, I don't know what he would think.
And after Bao Xun was dragged away, no minister dared to dissuade Cao Pi anymore.
Cao Pi looked at the ministers present with red eyes, and he issued the last edict of the day:
"Proposed edict: order the left general Zhang He, order the Wuwei general Xu Chu, and order the ..... Come to Wancheng."
Since you're going to fight, let's fight it in a dignified manner.
I want you to see the national strength of my Great Wei, and I want you to know what it means to be a master of hanging people and fighting crimes.
I want you dead this time!.
