Chapter 626: Release the Army

Hua Xin left, and Cao Cao still sat alone in the Han Pavilion.

It's just that the wine in his stomach is shivering at the moment, and his mood will be very different, and he will be a little less hesitant about Cao Cao in the future.

As he sang in a tanka:

"When you sing about wine, life is geometric! For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve the problem? Only Du Kang. ”

Yes, life is in a hurry, 10,000 years is too long to seize the day.

Soon, Hua Xin came back again, with four people, including Judge, Gai Tong, Xian Yufu, and Gongsun Yue. Their mansions were all located near the shogunate, and they were just a few moments away.

Hua Xin did not tell Cao Cao's true meaning of calling them over, but only told everyone that Cao Cao was going to hold a lecture banquet.

This shows Hua Xin's carefulness.

Although Hua Xin felt that these plain generals could listen to persuasion, they would not do some stupid things irrationally. However, everything is afraid of what happens.

In case a few of them are too persuasive, and when they hear their wives and concubines or henchmen say a few stupid words, and then start a mutiny, then won't he Huaxin be able to escape the involvement?

So Hua Xin didn't say a word about what Cao Cao was going to do.

As for whether this is a match for these people? Hua Xin has a clear conscience. After all, under the pressure of Cao Cao just now, it is too interesting to have room for these people.

So, when the judges came in, they didn't know what was going to happen.

It's just that as soon as they came in, they saw that there were ironclad soldiers all over the inside and outside of this garden, all of whom were Xu Chu's tiger guards, and they felt that this lecture would be too grand.

They didn't doubt this, because Guangwu often summoned generals to listen to the scriptures, and sometimes Guangwu himself even spoke.

Now that it is snowing heavily, the generals are fine, and Cao Cao can understand it if he gives a lecture.

But when they got to the garden, they began to wonder if something was wrong, because it was only the four of them. Although the four of them are not very close, they all have one identity, that is, they are all former plain generals.

So they pondered the taste, and this was specifically looking for the four of them.

But at this time, they still didn't think about things in that direction, and only wondered if there was something wrong on the plain front.

When the four of them arrived, they saw that four straw mats had been placed in the pavilion, and a brazier was placed next to each mat.

It seems that it is really looking for the four of them.

The four of them greeted Cao Cao first, and then they found a place to sit down.

It is no surprise that the one sitting on Cao Cao's left hand is the trial.

And he didn't give in, as soon as he took his seat, he asked Cao Cao first:

"Cao Gong, is this something wrong on the plain front. If that's the case, let's skip the lecture and let's talk about business. ”

Over there, Hua Xin knew that he was going to suffer as soon as he heard this.

Sure enough, after hearing such unkind words as the trial, Cao Cao's face was really a little ugly.

Cao Cao was still scooping the tea soup with a long spoon, and wanted to give the four of them a taste of this good tea, but now he directly put the long spoon and said coldly:

"Okay, then let's get straight to the point."

Gai Tong below was the most alert, and he noticed that something was wrong, so he preemptively said haha:

"Mengde, don't listen to that nonsense. I think it's good to listen to the scriptures, we martial artists can't fight the world right away, and we can also learn this "Spring and Autumn", and then we can use it in trial and prison. ”

The relationship between Gai Tong and Cao Cao was the best of the four, so after he said this, Cao Cao's face was much better.

But Gai Tong didn't know that Xu Chu, who was standing under the pavilion at the moment, was slandering:

"These dog slaves, none of them respect their lords. One is called Cao Gong, the other is called Meng De, but none of them shouted to the Lord. These people, if we ask Lao Xu to get them, they can all be killed, and no one is wronged. ”

Among the four of them, Gongsun Yue is the most brave and has the strongest perception. He suddenly noticed Xu Chu's fleeting killing intent, and his whole body was full of goosebumps, and his hand had been secretly pressed on the case, planning to hold the case table to kill if something was wrong.

Gongsun Yue was originally a great husband like his brother Gongsun Zhan, but he was hit by an arrow in the Battle of the Plains, and although he was finally snatched back by the righteous servants, he still left a big arrow scar on his face.

At this moment, he was nervous, and the arrow scar was like a centipede, wriggling viciously, so terrible.

But Cao Cao didn't see it, he still opened directly:

"Originally, I wanted to call you to come and listen to the scriptures, but since you didn't want to, forget it. Then let's talk about a difficult thing for ourselves. ”

The atmosphere at the moment, as long as you are not stupid, you know that there is a problem.

Xian Yufu is the most obedient of the four, and he took the initiative to accosting Cao Cao at this moment:

"I wonder what worries the Lord? If you are in the end, you will be able to have one or two things to do, and you will never give up. ”

Cao Cao glanced at Xian Yufu, paused, and said:

"Lao Cao, I haven't been able to sleep lately, and this migraine is getting worse and worse."

At this time, Gai Tong said sincerely:

"Meng De, didn't you say before that there was a famous doctor named Hua Tuo? He can't cure you for this migraine? ”

Cao Cao shook his head:

"Hua Yuanrang is a miracle doctor, but his heart is in all directions. In the past, he stayed in our army for a while, and then he wandered again. As for my migraine, I've seen it from quite a few people. One of them is the one that I like the most. ”

The crowd didn't speak, but they listened to Cao Cao:

"He said I had a migraine, a heart disease. As long as you get rid of the troubles in your heart, this migraine will be better. ”

At this time, the four of them stopped talking, and even Xian Yufu didn't speak anymore.

Because there were no fools present, they all knew that what Cao Cao said was related to the four of them, otherwise there would be no such thing.

No one accosted him, so Cao Cao's words were left on the ground. But Cao Cao was not embarrassed, so he opened directly:

"I can't sleep on my side, and I have to get rid of this heart disease. You don't squeak one by one, do you think my heart disease has something to do with you? ”

Cao Cao looked around at the four of them and suddenly laughed:

"You're suspicious of me."

As soon as this remark came out, the four people including the trial were shocked, because this was too serious. Suspicion above, what is that? The beginning of the disaster.

So, the four of them knelt down on the mat and pleaded guilty:

"I can't wait."

Cao Cao didn't spare it, and then said:

"You don't dare, but you don't want to."

At this moment, the four of them didn't dare to say more, and they fell to the ground one by one, not daring to come out.

And if you don't die, when Cao Cao said this, Xu Chu suddenly turned around again and looked at the four of them with fierce eyes.

Xu Chu is like that, so that people have no doubt that they will be able to come up and blow up the heads of these four people in the next moment.

The atmosphere is getting tense.

Hua Xin, who was originally optimistic about the situation, had dry lips.

Suddenly, Cao Cao laughed heartily, patted the case, and said with a smile:

"Do not be dismayed. You have merit to me Cao Cao, and without your help to me, I Cao Cao would not be in the current situation. Moreover, you and I have been side by side in the Plains and Tianjin battlefields, and the friendship of the corpses and the sea of blood. Therefore do not be dismayed. I, Cao Cao, have never done anything to those who have contributed to me. ”

"But you have to understand me in the end. Do you know how long it has been since I, Cao Cao, has enjoyed the day when you and I are drinking here? Now, our family business is bigger, people's hearts have changed, and we have more troubles. ”

"Sometimes we don't consciously think that the happiest time in life is when there are two or three thousand soldiers. At that time, all you had to do was punch and lunge. But no, we have 100,000 people now, if we can't work together, we will be a plate of loose sand. In such troubled times, it is the result of doomed annexation. ”

At this time, the judge, who had been silent, suddenly said:

"Cao Gong's meaning, we know. I only hope that Cao Gong will pity us and others for their hard work, and can show me a way to live. ”

Cao Cao did not answer the trial directly, but raised his head to look at this cold pavilion, and then said:

"Do you know that I once gave a short song, and I am giving you one of them."

As he spoke, Cao Cao stood up, walked past the four judges who were kneeling on the ground, passed through the rows of armored tigers, and walked outside the Han Pavilion.

In the goose feather snow, Cao Cao turned his back and let the frost and snow sprinkle on his face.

Then he yelled at Xu Chu, who had been guarding him:

"Here comes the sword!"

Then a cold light passed through the frost and snow and fell on Cao Cao's hand.

Cao Cao had a sword flower, and then he was holding a sword, and the cold light and sword shadow reflected his heroic face, Cao Cao couldn't help but stroke the sword and admire:

"The sword is a good sword, and its name is 'Yitian'; If you don't dance with a sword at this time, when will you wait? ”

Then, Cao Cao practiced with a cold light, and people walked with the sword, like a dragon, like a frightened dragon. In the wind and snow, one person, one sword and one dance, the cold light shines on Kyushu, and the five-foot pride cannot be hidden.

And what is more amazing than this sword dance is the sonorous short song:

"When you sing about wine, life is geometric! For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. Be generous and unforgettable. The only way to solve the worries is Du Kang. ”

After singing, he pointed his sword at a tiger warrior, who was a Kansai samurai, and continued to sing in his rough voice like an iron lute:

"Qingqing Zijin, relax my heart. But for the sake of the king, he has been groaning so far. Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples. I have guests, drummers and shengs. ”

Then there was a Qingzhou man, with the pride of the mountains and seas, singing:

"It's as clear as the moon, when can you drop out. Worries come from it, and they cannot be cut off. The more strange it is, the more vain it exists. Talking about the old kindness. ”

Without any advance arrangement, these tiger warriors who had been with Cao Cao for a long time had already imprinted Cao Cao's short song in their hearts and regarded it as the most sacred sound.

In the end, Cao Cao, Xu Chu, and all the tigers sang in unison:

"The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed. The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep. Zhou Gong vomited and fed, and the world returned to the heart. ”

When the song says, "Zhou Gong spit and feed, and the world returns to the heart." At the time of the sentence, Cao Cao was already in tears, he turned to look at the four judges, and said movingly:

"I have the ambition of the people of the world, and everyone is willing to help me."

The trial present had already been distracted by the scene just now.

Cao Cao's pride, the ambition to feed the world, all conquered the body, mind and soul, he kneeled to the edge of the cold pavilion, buckled his head, and shouted:

"The minister is willing to help the lord and help the world."

Cao Cao smiled:

"Good, good."

After speaking, Cao Cao returned to the Hanting Pavilion, and did not let go of the Yitian Sword in his hand, so he sat on the seat, looking at the west, which was the direction of Liangjing.

When the four judges followed Cao Cao's gaze, Cao Cao's ethereal voice came out slowly:

"That is the world of the Han family, and that is the mountains and rivers guarded by our fathers and ancestors. It's where the rest of us dream. When I was young, I was determined to be the four expeditions of the Han Dynasty and to be able to seal the wolf for the Han family. But now, I am the east of the town, but where is the Han family now? ”

"Everyone says that this Han family is unfair, so the mountains and rivers are swaying, and the artifact is out of place. But I ask, how can this Han family ever bear us? How many generations of Zhong Ming Ding food, how many generations of Han family kindness, can I pay it back? ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Gai Tong, who was kneeling, and asked:

"Lao Gai, did you say that the Han family had ever failed you?"

Gai Tong was angry and said in a trembling voice:

"No, I didn't."

Cao Cao pointed to Xian Yufu and Gongsun Yue:

"You are just local tyrants in the border land, if you don't have the Han family's simple and generous treatment, can you have today?"

The two of them told the truth, and they both said:

"I can't."

In the end, Cao Cao walked in front of the trial, but said something like this:

"Jung-nam, do you remember what I said when I first saw you?"

The trial is silent.

Cao Cao said:

"I said that you are my Han Shin, my general. You don't have to doubt me, and you don't have to think about it. I feel like I'm overpowering you. Today is not a seizure of troops, but a release of troops. The seizure of troops is suspicion, but the release of soldiers is to use you. You are all momentary figures, what are you seeking? ”

Cao Cao had already risen at this time, and the little rude Ji sat on the desk, shook his head and said:

"I've been thinking about what I should give you and what you want."

Cao Cao took out something from his arms, which was a horseshoe gold, and then said:

"Are you so rich? All you want in life is to accumulate more money, enjoy the glitz of the world, and not worry your children and grandchildren. Then I have a daughter here to work with you. ”

Then Cao Cao took out another thing from his arms, but it was a gold seal, and he said:

"Are you good powers? What I want is a living companion, gold and purple, prancing horse eating meat, and hugging each other. Then I have a gold seal here, which is enough for you to be honored. ”

Cao Cao put the golden seal on the side of the horseshoe gold, and then said with a smile:

"So that's what you want?"

The four people who judged it did not say.

Cao Cao sneered, swept the golden seal and horseshoe gold to the ground, and said:

"But are these? I know what you want, you are like my Lao Cao, you want a special thing, which only heroes can pursue. ”

"That's the name of the world."

"Not to mention that life is like a white horse, but fifty years. Even if it is as long as a turtle, it will have an end of time. Therefore, if you cannot live in the body of eternity, you should be named for eternity. I, Cao Cao, want to be the Duke of Zhou, and I have the great wish to support the Han family. Then from this and that, you also have the ambition of Tuyuntai and want to leave a name in history. ”

"And that's what I'm giving you. If I am the Duke of Zhou in the future, you will take a roll call in Yuntai. Let our children and grandchildren bathe in our glory and history. ”

"So, how do you choose? Do you want the gold and seal on the ground, or do you want a promise from my Cao Cao, an opportunity to chase dreams with my Cao Cao. ”

Cao Cao finally finished speaking, his breathing was heavy.

In the end, the four of them, Gai Tong, Xian Yufu, and Gongsun Yue, kowtowed together:

"I am willing to follow the Lord, support the Han family, and rebuild mountains and rivers. The sea does not dry up, and the heart does not change. The stone is not rotten, and the will is unswerving. ”

Cao Cao laughed, full of pride for the future.

This pride also infected Hua Xin on the side, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart:

"The snow sword releases the military power and fulfills the righteousness of the monarch and the minister."

In the midst of this relationship, a step came in a hurry, bringing the latest battle report sent from the Taiyuan battlefield.

The northwest wind has sent the chill to the Central Plains.
