Chapter 282: Son of the Plane, Cao Zhen?
"Huh? Jian'an style bones? ”
Cao Pi laughed angrily at this brazen remark, he glanced back and forth between Cao Zhi and Chen Lin twice, then turned around, quickly pulled out the long knife from the waist of the guard behind him, and then swung it at Chen Lin under the gaze of everyone.
"Poof!"
As a cold light flashed, Chen Lin's head suddenly moved, and the blood was like a fountain, making everyone tremble.
Soon, the room was filled with a terrifying smell of blood.
Cao Zhi looked at the blood all over the ground and was stunned for a moment, and as the smell of blood became more and more intense, his wine was also sober in an instant.
"You······ How can you do that? ”
Tears unconsciously flowed slowly down the corners of his eyes.
Cao Zhi's gentleness emanates from his bones, he has not liked to fight for power since he was a child, although he is Cao Cao's son, he has never seen any bloody scenes, let alone murder.
Seeing such a bloody scene suddenly, it is inevitable to be a little stunned.
Especially the moment he woke up, the eyes he looked at his second brother changed instantly.
"How can it be······· How can this be done? ”
"He's human! How can you-"
Cao Zhi, who had recovered slightly, roared, but before he could finish roaring, a cold white light flashed again.
Cao Pi swung his long knife again, but this time it was the back of the knife that smashed into the opponent, not the blade.
"Smack!" With a bang, the back of the knife left a heavy blood mark on Cao Zhi's face.
This action scared the group of guards behind him enough, and even Sima Yi couldn't help but feel fear.
He almost thought that the two brothers, Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, were about to stage a fratricidal scene.
At the moment, Cao Pi still knows how to do things more or less, even when he is angry to the extreme, he has never killed his brother.
Of course, the corresponding Cao Zhi is really stupid in his opinion, not only has he not built any merits, but even his life is a mess, he is simply stupid.
"Do you remember what your father said to you before he died? Do you still remember how you repeatedly promised your father before his bed that you would live up to his expectations and make contributions to the Han Dynasty and Cao Wei? ”
Looking at Cao Zhi, who was deeply frightened and didn't dare to say anything, Cao Pi was even more angry in his heart.
But he knew that this was not a good time to "clean up" his younger brother, so he showed a distressed and tearful expression, trembled his lips, and began to soar his acting skills.
"Do you know what your last name is? Do you know that when the third brother was chasing and killing the black and white horsemen outside, he was almost killed, and he returned to Chang'an? ”
"You don't know anything, you don't care about anything, except for drinking and having fun all day long, you have never considered others, and now Uncle is playing with us, not only do you not help with advice, but you also led everyone to hold a banquet, do you still have the heart?"
As he spoke, he thrust the long knife in his hand into the case, and continued: "I ask you to be serious, now that my father has passed away, we will no longer have anyone to help except ourselves, let alone help you, Cao Zijian!" ”
"Do you think that after your father is gone, you can still be that innocent and carefree child? What about dreams? ”
The more he talked, the more angry Cao Pi kicked at the other party, and then said in a loud voice: "I knew that you would become such an unworthy person today, I should not have promoted you to an official position in the first place, let alone choose to work with you!" ”
"Since my father left, the Cao clan has been dissatisfied with Uncle Xiyu a lot, and has tried to force him away repeatedly, the reason why I am opposed to him is that it will be like today, do you know the reason?"
"It's not because he has a big temperament, and it's not because he's afraid of the behemoth of the Cao family and doesn't dare to be an enemy of it!"
Cao Pi didn't intend to give the other party time to react at all, and said in a hurry: "But in fact, he just remembered the agreement with his father all the time." ”
"If not, why do you think that he, who had already laid down a lot of followers in Chang'an City a few years ago, would only kill some small officials after snatching the Son of Heaven and then let go after spreading some rumors?"
"In addition, the recent changes in Cao Wei and the impact of the closure of the canal are all related to Uncle Xiao, don't you understand?"
"Obviously ignorant and ignorant, you still have to use limited resources to chant poems here, place your affection on the mountains and rivers, and do nothing, you are simply a son of man in vain!"
"I warn you, if you dare to hold such a useless banquet again, get out of here, and make a good show in front of the people of the city!"
“······”
He reprimanded him frantically, and the anger in Cao Zhi's heart gradually disappeared, and what followed was panic in his eyes.
His blank eyes, combined with his sobbing face, his swollen red cheeks, and the blood slowly flowing from the corners of his mouth, made him look extremely miserable.
But none of the people present dared to move, let alone persuade them.
Of course, compared to him, the most feared are the literati who participated in this banquet.
With Chen Lin's experience, they didn't even have the courage to stay in this room and breathe, a few of them were less timid, and their legs trembled like chaff.
They wanted to escape from this room in the next second, but they also knew that if there was a slight movement at the moment, Cao Pi would see it, and then they would worry about their lives.
Therefore, they didn't dare, even if the two forces were trembling and their hearts were beating faster, they didn't dare to make the slightest movement, and even their breathing was slow and slow.
"I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know it, but now you should know what the scene is in Chang'an City, the people are panicking, and even the weather is not very bright."
"After the spring ploughing next year, the food of the people and even the army in the whole territory is not guaranteed, but you still come here ignorantly to drink and have fun, express some useless articles, and even dare to mention the style of Jian'an, are you worthy?"
"From today on, if you dare to come here again to have fun, beware of my mercy, Chen Lin is a lesson for you!"
Cao Pi held the blood-stained knife, looked at the other literati coldly, and then said lightly: "Sima Yi! ”
"Humble duty!"
As soon as Sima Yi heard his name, his heart trembled, and he immediately bowed forward and took a step forward.
This is the first time he has seen such a Cao Pi, and he thought that he was following an elegant and easy-going master, but now it seems that it is just that the other party wants him to think so.
It has solidified the impression of both sides in the eyes of the other party for a long time, so when I see a completely different performance today, I seem so frightened.
"You ordered someone to hang Chen Lin's head on the city gate, and tell the people the reason for his death, I will use his head to calm the hearts of the people!"
"In addition, the order goes down, from today onwards, the whole city has a curfew, and those who do not return home in the middle of the night will be treated as secret sentinels, assassins, and ill-intentioned people, and killed!"
"No!"
Sima Yi hurriedly nodded in agreement, not daring to have the slightest objection.
After this incident, he can be considered to have figured it out, Cao Pi's main purpose in doing this is not only to educate Cao Zhi, but also to shift his focus.
If you want the people to forget all the gossip about the previous time, the robbery of the Son of Heaven, the assassination of assassins, etc., then you have to cover up with another problem, so as to divert everyone's attention.
The current Chen Lin is the best example.
His death, combined with the curfew, not only distracted the people, but also deterred those of the clan who had spent their days only greedy for pleasure and had nothing to achieve.
······
In just one night, as usual, what happened in the mansion of the Zhonglang General with five senses has already spread all over the streets and alleys, but there has been no movement today.
After all, Cao Pi's methods and determination have already scared everyone present stupid, even if it is for his own life, no one dares to talk about it, let alone spread it, even in private.
Sure enough, in troubled times, the person with the most power to speak is always the powerful person!
As long as you have power, it is easier than ordinary people to do anything!
······
Xuzhou, Xiapi!
Since the black cavalry returned to the army, Xi Yu ordered people to count the casualties, and after this battle, about 400 people died.
As for Yin Hao and the hundreds of other dark chess lurking in Chang'an, only more than 70 people came back.
This is not a heavy casualty for the Black Riders······
Xi Yu personally rushed to the camp and met Zhao Zilong.
Rao is a veteran like Zhao Zilong, with clearly visible scars on his body, arms, and even hands.
Some of them were knife wounds that hadn't healed yet, and some of them were frostbite that looked bruised, but either way, it was so shocking.
This is still the result of those highly skilled doctors in the medical hall jointly opened by Mr. Hua Tuo and Mr. Zhong Jing.
The medics spent a day and a night in the camp before all the black riders were treated.
At this time, Xi Yu and Zhao Zilong also had the strength to talk.
The two sat around the campfire, chatting over the fire.
"Lord, speaking of which, I waited for the successful completion of the task this time, and returned safely thanks to the people in Yanzhou City."
"Oh?"
Xi Yu was a little surprised and said, "What? But what went wrong with the plan? ”
"Not really."
Zhao Zilong thought for a moment, then shook his head and continued: "It's just······ I'm almost not going to be able to come back. ”
"The enemy took the lead in ambushing nearly 20,000 troops in Luoyang, and the commander was Xiahou Chun, it is estimated that it was because of the armistice in Jizhou that the territory was still stable, so he got up and hiberned in Luoyang, waiting for the opportunity, trying to give us a heavy blow when he had the opportunity."
"But I never wanted to be met by us, plus the 30,000 troops led by Cao Zhen behind him at that time were bitten tightly, and the war was once stalemate, speaking of Cao Zhen's kid, it is estimated that it was because the deputy was killed by us, so it was not too cruel during the war."
"But fortunately, with the help of the people, they not only gave us food and grass, but even secretly opened the city gates, so that we could be considered to have successfully retreated."
"But even so, you have suffered a lot!"
Xi Yu didn't expect that there was this one among them, and he laughed a little bitterly after listening to it.
Zhao Zilong also nodded, sighed deeply after a long time, and said, "Yes, it is the first time that the black rider has been so traumatized since it was built. ”
"I don't know what happened to that kid Cao Zhen, luck is extraordinary, I almost hurt him several times, but I couldn't kill him!"
"Luck?"
Inexplicably attracted by these two words, Xi Yu couldn't help but recall some rumors in the previous world.
At that time, on the Internet, there were many people who discussed many things in the late Western Han Dynasty.
Among them, the most conspicuous are Wang Mang, who is known as the "Traveler", and Liu Xiu, the "Son of the Plane".
Speaking of which, as a real traverser, will he also be a son of the plane of this world?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
What do you think? It's enough to come to this world, but if it's really a son of the plane, it's too exaggerated.
That being said, he secretly felt that in this world, there was really that kind of luck that would blow up the sky, and of course, Xi Yu was not narcissistic enough to think that that person must be himself.
It's just ······ Now that the qi of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty has basically been exhausted, and now they are still qualified to become the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that only the Cao family is the only one.
And today's Cao family, except for Cao Pi, the short-lived ghost, Cao Zhi, the fool who is in love with poetry and songs, and Cao Zhang, a reckless man who doesn't understand variables, the only one who can be looked down upon by people is Cao Zhen.
Speaking of which, although this guy is Cao, he is the youngest famous general in the Cao clan, but in fact, he has nothing to do with the Cao clan, and his father is not a Cao clan, but a general under Cao Cao.
At the beginning, his father Qin Shao and Cao Cao were friends, and later sacrificed himself to save Cao Cao, in order to thank this person, Cao Cao took Cao Zhen and his mother to the clan, and changed his surname to Cao, and took care of him as a parent.
This kid is also competitive, he has a good martial arts at a young age, not only has great strength but also has courage and strategy, once went into the mountains alone and shot a tiger with a bow and arrow.
also gained some fame because of this, which laid a certain foundation for him to enlist in the army and lead the army.
When pacifying the Hexi Corridor, he was appointed as the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and beat the rebels of Hu Han without the slightest temper.
Since then, after severing diplomatic relations with the Han Dynasty for decades, the Western Regions finally broke through the barriers between the two sides under his battle, and since then Liangzhou's commerce and trade have become more and more prosperous.
In addition to these, Cao Zhen, this kid, is also a small figure in the Three Kingdoms.
Of course, he's not a hero in it, he's a waste, a piece of rubb with so much luck.
Because of his father's accident, he was brought back to Cao by Cao Cao, because of the crusade against the thieves of Lingqiu, he was named the Marquis of Lingshou Pavilion, and then broke the Qiang Hu coalition army, pacified the Hexi region, led the army to surround Jiangling, and defeated Sun Sheng, the general of the Wu State, and was moved to the general of the Chinese army, and gave the matter······
It can be seen from this that his road to advancement is so smooth sailing, even in the end, Cao Pi was seriously ill, accepted the edict, and became one of the auxiliary ministers.
Although in the end, he was forced to hand over the military power to Sima Yi because of his defeat in the land of Shu Han, thus fulfilling the other party's wolf ambitions, but he himself ended up with a good beginning and a good ending, and was even sought after by later generations.
Recalling the many rumors about Cao Zhen, Xi Yu felt that he still had to be cautious, after all, if he only believed the description in the book, he was afraid that Cao Zhen would not have anything outstanding except for good luck.
But in fact, his ability to kill tigers shows that his force value is good, and being able to win so many battles also shows that he has a brain.
How can such a brave and resourceful existence be what the book says?
Thinking about it this way, this kid has some possibilities for being a son of the plane, but it's just ······ Probably not!
After all, even if he fought bravely and had extraordinary strategies, but in the end, he may have ignored the strength of this son before, but when he picked up the son of the plane, he was a little less hot.
I really don't know who the son of the plane of this world is······
If you are a friend of yourself, it must be a good thing, but if you are an enemy······ I'm afraid that there will be some trouble.
An existence like Liu Xiu, I really hope that it will not appear in front of me.
Thinking of these dramas, Yu couldn't help frowning, it's really an eventful time now.
Cao Zhen's kid's luck is really good, regardless of the number of times Zilong shot at him this time, Huang Xu didn't miss the killer last time, but in the end he let him escape alive.
Looks like I'm going to have to figure out how to deal with this guy.
After all, Cao Ren and Xiahou Chun are both old, and it is very likely that the person who will replace them in command of Cao Jun in the future is Cao Zhen, although he is in the prime of life, but compared to that kid, he is still old in the end.
Although it is said that every time you experience a battle, the system will improve your physical condition, making your force value and even your physique stronger, but ······ As we get older, these blessings get smaller.
In particular, in terms of force value, it has almost stood still in recent years.
On the other hand, the blessings of his physique and other aspects have prolonged the time of his prime for a long time, even now, he is like a young man.
This is also destined to be a lot higher than the life expectancy of people in this era, and it also shows that he has enough time and patience to layout.
"Okay, the war has been decided, the Son of Heaven has returned, don't think about these questions anymore, let's rest and recuperate first, and then ······ Let's look at Cao Pi's movements. ”
No longer thinking about those things that are unrealistic for the time being, Xi Yu shook his head, and looked at Zilong with a smile instead: "Do you know that I accepted three more concubines some time ago?" ”
"Huh? Na······ Conquest? ”
Zhao Zilong was stunned for a moment in surprise, and then showed a look of envy.
It's really worthy of the lord, this charm is really unmatched!
"That's right, concubine, as the lord, I naturally have to think about everyone, and it is also very necessary to spread the branches!"
Xi Yu said seriously, and then he asked playfully, "How is it?" Do you want to? I'll find some for you later? In this way, if you are injured, you can have someone by your side to take care of it, which is just convenient for you to recuperate. ”
"Good! Thank you for your kindness! ”
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zilong cracked the corners of his mouth and smiled extraordinarily brightly.
Although he was almost surrounded by the enemy in Yanzhou and couldn't kill him, fortunately, it was all over, not only did he succeed in rescuing the Son of Heaven, but he also returned safely with most of his brothers, which was enough!
