Chapter 424 Cao Cao Returns to His Hometown, Who Knows? Hometown Qian Peiduo died in battle!

"Assassinate Cao Cao, you're not alone, I... No, it's not just me, everyone in this parrot, who doesn't have a deep hatred with Cao Cao? ”

The voice of the spirit jull groaned.

When it reached the ears of this young man, the young man only felt as if he had seen hope, as if he had found an organization.

It's just that today he has witnessed too many surprises, this sudden secret passage, dead people, organs... And future assassinations ... He was overwhelmed by all of this.

"What? Scared? ”

Seeing that the young man was in a daze, Lingju took the initiative to ask.

The young man hurriedly shook his head, stumbling in his mouth: "Wen... Miss Wen..."

"You don't have to call me that." Lingju smiled softly: "You are the second brother of Yunqi Gongzi, you can also call me Lingju like him!" ”

"Spirit... Lingju Girl. "This young man is Guan Xing.

He stumbled and chanted the name "Lingju".

He also only found out more than ten days ago, what does this name mean to the fourth brother?

This is a "base area" behind enemy lines!

Because of this, Guan Xing's thoughts seemed to be pulled back to the moment when his father Guan Yu ordered him to behead Guan Xing in front of the gate in Xiangyang City more than ten years ago.

At that time, when he heard that his father had returned in a hot air balloon, he subconsciously wanted to ask for guilt and death, but he was persuaded by Sun Ru, who had taught him the secret weapon "Shadow Arrow" for those days.

Sun Ru said lightly: "How did the prince of Yunqi explain it to you, have you forgotten?" Have all these days of shadow arrows been practiced in vain? It's better to die than to live! ”

This sentence made Guan Xing, who was in turmoil at that time, suddenly calm down.

Under Sun Ru's eager gaze, Guan Xing repeated the plan arranged by the fourth brother Guan Lin: "The fourth brother asked me to cooperate with him in a play, but first I was guilty... Then he took all the blame, and finally when he was beheaded, he would drop a condemned prisoner who looked like me, and all I had to do was scream... In the end, I deceived my father, and it was the condemned prisoner who died, and it was I Guan Xing who lived, but it was the military discipline of the Guan family army. ”

Speaking of this, Guan Xing paused, "As long as I 'die', everything will be over, and everything will be liberated... And I will be sent to Luoyang, cooperate with the Lingju girl's 'behind enemy lines' action, and one day kill that Cao Cao to atone for his crimes!" This is the only hope that I can return to my father and my fourth brother! ”

When he said the last sentence, Guan Xing seemed to be relieved.

But his gaze became more resolute, his eyes became sharper, and even the shadow arrow he held made a 'gurgling' sound because of the sudden force of his wrist.

Even if Sun Ru knew about this plan in advance, but when he heard it from Guan Xing's mouth again this time, he couldn't help but marvel that Guan Lin's plan was always like this, "put it to death and come back to life"...

It seems that her husband Lu Xun and the Lu family's clansmen are like this, right?

Is it this Cloud Banner Boy who is extremely thoughtful?

Or is he good at setting up such a game?

Thinking so in his heart, Sun Ru at that time still reminded Guan Xing: "In the military camp of Xiangyang City, the number of Guan Jia's army is less than 20%, and most of them are Yunqi Gongzi's subordinates, and Li Daitaozhuang's plan is not difficult... It's just that in order to revitalize the military discipline of the Guan family's army, you need to act more realistically, and there is more determination to seek death and regard death as home, you may be able to do it? ”

At this moment, Guan Xing's mood had completely calmed down, and he replied softly: "I know what to do!" ”

Therefore, in the whole process of pleading,

Guan Xing's eyes have always been looking at his father Guan Yu and his fourth brother Guan Lin, because he knows... After seeing this at a glance, next... I don't know when I'll see you again.

Perhaps, it is goodbye.

So, in the big tent of the Chinese army that day, Guan Lin and Guan Xing "sang and harmonized" to show Guan Yu, and also made a play for everyone to see, Guan Lin ordered Shiwu, the executioner of the knife and axe, and the periphery of the knife and axe hand were all trustworthy henchmen.

Then, before the beheading, in order to avoid blood splashing everywhere, a black cloth will be covered around the wooden stake where the execution will be carried out, and it is at this time that Guan Xing and the condemned prisoner will be exchanged.

Because of the human skin mask, the cheeks of the condemned prisoner are exactly the same as Guan Xing's.

Of course, even if the "corpse" is collected in the end, the one who verifies the correct body is also a person that Guan Lin can trust.

That is, on the night of the same day, through the hot air balloon, Zhuge Ke sent Guan Xing to the north of Wancheng, where there were already people from the "parrot" sent by Lingju to respond, and after another three days, Guan Xing appeared in Luoyang City.

His new journey has arrived.

Finally...

Guan Xing pulled his thoughts back from afar, and he couldn't wait to be excited because of the turn of "identity", "Lingju girl, when will we act?" ”

"Cao Cao is not so easy to assassinate, he has Xu Chu by his side, there is a tiger soldier, we must wait for him to Luoyang, wait for an excellent opportunity, otherwise it will be a surprise, but..."

Lingju looked at Guan Xing's cheeks, couldn't help but shake his head, hesitated and opened his mouth: "You look like this?" ”

"I have this..."Guan Xing took out a human skin mask from the package and put it on in front of Lingju.

Now... Guan Xing's whole person has a new look.

From the image of a martial artist, he suddenly became an elegant and easy-going son.

Because of the change of appearance, no one will associate him with Guan Yu's son.

Lingju was shocked by the sudden change in his cheeks.

Guan Xing showed the package, "The fourth brother asked me to bring more than 30 skin masks... It is convenient for the girl and the parrot to carry out some covert actions. ”

Call...

Lingju exhaled deeply, and she took one and gestured it on her cheek.

I can't help but sigh in my heart.

- "It's... It's a terrible disguise, it's... It's like a different person.'"

"That's the best." After Lingju sighed, he looked at Guan Xing again, and his tone suddenly became meticulous, "To assassinate Cao Cao, Cao Cao must be allowed to arrive in this Luoyang City, and the first thing that is urgent is to wait for him to move the capital to Luoyang... Of course, at the same time... One more thing to do? ”

"What?" Guan Xing can't wait.

Lingju lowered his voice, but his tone was aggravated: "I have to let the Son of Heaven leave Cao Wei-"

"What does it mean to leave?"

"As long as Cao Cao can no longer control the Son of Heaven, the rest, whether they live or die!"

With Lingju's last words, her gaze became sharp, and she thought of not only Cao Cao's great achievements in "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" over the years.

What she thinks more of... Nanyang.

There, she also had an uncle who made a bet with her.

Take the belonging of the Taishan Army as a bet, bet that the Son of Heaven will leave Cao Cao, and bet that Cao Cao can no longer coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes-

When it comes to uprising Bo Yuntian, people often mention Guan Yu.

So... The second person in the Three Kingdoms era? And who will it be?

The answer is - Zang Ba!

This former general of Lu Bu and the lord of Langya of Cao Wei is now the general responsible for guarding Nanyang for Cao Cao.

He is 51 years old this year.

He was never stationed in Wanxian County, the place of governance in Nanyang, and his task was to guard the gate of Jiangxia to Nanyang from the north.

So... He and his Taishan army were stationed in the Zhongshan area of Suixian County.

Here, to the south, you can guard against Jiangxia going north, and to the west and east, you can observe the situation of the Xiangfan battlefield and the Huainan battlefield at any time, which can be said to be the central axis of the three battlefields.

In Nanyang, Zang Ba showed his frugal side as always, his mansion was not so conspicuous, and the door that was only six feet wide was always inadvertently missed by passers-by.

The courtyard is not large, with two rows in the east and west, with a total of ten wings.

Who would have thought that such a mansion would be 3,500 feudal households, Cao Weizhong... The existence of the foreign surname warrior fiefdom is second to none... Where Zang Ba lives.

Concise and rustic -

At this moment, in a wing room in the west, Zang Ba was reading the Tang newspaper spread out on the long case, his brows furrowed.

It was early spring, and there was still a chill in the middle of the night, but Zang Ba seemed to be unaware, and under the dim oil lamp, his face was also cloudy with the handwriting on the Tang newspaper.

After reading the last word with difficulty, I realized that the oil lamp was about to go out.

Stand up, replace the burned-out wick, sit down... Reread.

The first was that Sun Quan wanted Cao Cao to cede the cities and counties south of Huainan in exchange for a "truce between Sun Cao", and Cao Cao was unsurprisingly furious.

This is a common thing, and it is impossible for any monarch to accept the condition of "land cession".

But in the second article, Cao Cao actually led his troops back to Xudu, and did not even transfer Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the nemesis of "Eastern Wu", to garrison Shouchun, but instead delegated all the military power of the entire Shouchun to the clan-Cao Zhen.

This behavior is meaningful!

Call...

With Zang Ba's long call, he couldn't help but open his mouth and said: "Cao Cao is still as good at acting as ever, and returning to Xu Du, isn't this equivalent to accepting Sun Quan's 'armistice conditions', and he wants to give up the land of Huainan to Sun Quan?" Hehe, he doesn't admit defeat on his lips, but in his heart... Cao Cao still conceded defeat to this pair of Guan family father and son. ”

A simple newspaper and two pieces of information are as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Zang Ba couldn't help but get up slowly.

He walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark night, he thought of two things, one... It's Cao Cao.

As incredible as it is, as hard as it is unbelievable, but... The lesser of two evils, Cao Cao still decided to focus on dealing with this pair of Guan family father and son.

even did not hesitate to make huge concessions to the "sworn enemy" Sun Quan.

Thinking of this, Zang Ba sighed with emotion, "Cao Cao, the lord of Great Wei, he is not having a good time now..."

As he sighed, for a moment, Zang Ba had a feeling that this great Wei was suddenly in danger.

The second thing is his bet with the Lingju.

Zang Ba promised his brother-in-law Lu Bu to help him take care of Diao Chan's mother and daughter.

He could also feel Lingju's affection for that Guan family Shiro, but his position, position... can't do things because of her feelings, Zang Ba's subordinates are all Lu Bu's soldiers in the past, these are all old brothers.

Wrong one... It is very likely that the entire Taishan army will fall into a situation from which it will never recover.

Therefore, Zang Ba can be regarded as giving Lingju's favorite man a test, a test that is not easy.

If Guan Lin can take the Son of Heaven away from Cao Cao, then neither Zang Ba nor Taishan's army will be able to change their positions.

It doesn't matter if you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, or if you turn against you.

At least... Cao Cao can't continue to blackmail the Son of Heaven, so there will be hope for Liu Bei's camp.

And now, the changes in the situation and the development of events have made Zang Ba feel overwhelmed.

Even, the information he got a few days ago, Cao Wei even lost Wancheng, which was a day away from Xudu and the Son of Heaven.

Thinking of this, Zang Ba squinted.

muttered in his mouth: "Then Guan Lin won't really be able to get the Son of Heaven out of Xudu, right?" ”

Speaking of this, Zang Ba closed his mouth and eyes, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

- "If you want to win the Son of Heaven, you must first force Cao Cao to move the capital!"

- "Hehe, I have to praise this kid, this kid step by step... That's what I did step by step..."

Stop...

The more he thought about it, the more he pondered, the more Zang Ba felt that because of Guan Lin's soaring skyrocket, the situation suddenly became turbulent, and the general trend of the world suddenly changed dramatically!

Nothing is yet a certainty;

Everything is constantly changing.

This also made Zang Ba hesitate.

What should he do with this Taishan army?

"Newspaper..."

At this moment, a messenger walked to the door of Zang Ba's wing, and he did not enter the room, but reported through the door.

"Guan Yu beheaded his second son Guan Xing, Yuanmen showed the public, Guan Shilang Guan Lin left Xiangyang in anger and rushed to Jiangxia... Yu Jiangxia sings and dances, drunk and dreams of death! ”

Not...

This piece of information made Zang Ba raise his eyes violently, and he repeated "singing and dancing, drunk and dreaming of death"...

When the words fell, Zang Ba subconsciously wondered, which one is Guan Lin playing?

Isn't this kid going to be arrogant again?

So...

Who is he targeting this time?

Zhuyu is in front, and there are too many times for Guan Linyin people, so much that it makes ... Even Zang Ba, an outsider, felt that he was using a plot and tricks.

"Where is Cao Cao?"

Suddenly, Zang Ba threw out a question again.

The messenger hurriedly replied without thinking: "According to the latest information, Cao Cao will arrive at Qian Pei early tomorrow morning... Stay for half a day, and then return to Xudu! ”

- "Chen Pei?"

Zang Ba groaned softly in his heart, and then he couldn't help but groan: "This is Cao Cao's hometown, and it is the ancestral hall of the martial arts of Qian Pei!" It's just..."

Zang Ba once served as the lord of Langya, because of his proximity, he knew many things in Yanzhou and Yuzhou clearly.

Hearing that Cao Cao returned to his hometown, Zang Ba couldn't help but shake his head.

"Really go back, that's a huge surprise that Guan Jia Shiro gave to Cao Cao, he... It can also be said to be a huge fright! ”

Peiguo, Qian County.

Because of Cao Cao's return, there was a banquet on the square in front of the palace, and Cao Cao sat in the middle, and the people present were all the old folks of Qian County, and they were happy.

Cao Cao smiled with a wine glass: "The last time I came here on the way to the Southern Expedition, I lived in the old house for a few days, and the second son Pi of Lonely and Lonely also planted a few sugarcane trees in the yard, has it been five or six years?" Those sugar canes these days? I'm afraid it's long gone, right? ”

The father and the elder said with a smile: "The sugarcane planted by the prime minister and the son grows exceptionally well, I still remember that when it was ripe last year, the county order also said that it was distributed to the villagers by the order of the prime minister?" I was also lucky enough to share two bites, sweet... Sweet and tight! The people also said that they had never eaten such a sweet sugarcane, and only the king and the prince could grow such a sweet sugarcane. ”

Li Zheng's flattery is not dignified, which makes Cao Cao laugh "haha" when he hears it.

At this time, the county magistrate of Qian County opened his mouth and said: "When Xiping was five years old, the upright prime minister was weak, and that year... An old man found a yellow dragon floating in the sky above our county, and many people saw it and speculated... In the future, we will give birth to an emperor here, even if he is not an emperor, he must be a general... Now it seems that this yellow dragon is the prime minister. ”

"Hahaha..."The words of the villagers made Cao Cao laugh heartily.

This is the magic of the folk sound, which can make Cao Cao temporarily get out of the battlefield faux pas and forced compromises, and can enjoy a different kind of warmth.

Wealth does not return to the hometown, just like a brocade at night, this is not just talking.

"There is no sugar cane this season..."Cao Cao said with a smile: "However, Gu brought some fruits from other places to my father and fellow villagers, and I tried them all..."

While talking, some guards put grapes, plums, and green plum wine on these villagers in turn.

An old man saw the wine and wanted to drink it, but he peeked at Cao Cao and didn't dare to drink it...

Cao Cao poured a bottle of green plum wine and handed it to the old man, "Drink, those who have drunk this green plum wine are all heroes, ah... Hahahaha..."

Cao Cao looked in a good mood.

The old people were tremblingly drinking plum wine and eating the fruits in front of them.

Cao Cao smiled and asked the father next to him: "I remember the last time I came, we were still prosperous, and many villagers were leading dolls, how could you give birth this time, only you?" Let those dolls eat together? Lonely remember the last time I came, there were hundreds of dolls under the age of ten? Haha, these fruits have brought a lot of them, hurry, call them quickly! ”

This...

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of these villagers visible to the naked eye became indifferent one by one.

Cao Cao noticed something strange and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What about these dolls? Now, shouldn't these dolls be sixteen or seventeen years old? Lone also said at the beginning that he would personally perform the gift of a weak crown for them? What about people? What about them? ”

At this time, the expression of the first father and elder was even more indifferent, and one of his faces sank, and they glanced at the local county order a little timidly.

The prefectural order also looked quite embarrassing.

Cao Cao noticed something strange and hurriedly asked, "What?" ”

Li Zheng reluctantly said: "Thanks to Duke Wei's love, those dolls have gone out... All... Aren't we here? ”

Cao Cao's face was a little cold, and he turned his head and whispered to Xu Chu, "Huhou is also a Qian Pei person, you go to the county office and show all the registered household registration here to Lone!" ”

"Whoa..."

Xu Chu took a few tiger soldiers to the county government quickly, and after a while, Hu Bo brought, even with ... I also brought a booklet.

The booklet is extremely long, almost flush with the Totoshi.

Cao Cao asked, "What is this?" ”

Xu Chu's words also became low, "This is the list of cancelled households, there were originally 30,000 people over the age of ten and under forty-five, and now..."

In the end, Xu Chu's voice suddenly stopped, which also made Cao Cao's mood heavy.

He raised his voice and asked, "How is it now?" ”

Xu Chu trembled and said, "It's gone... 30,000 people, who survived... Less than one in a hundred! It's all... They all died on the battlefield of Naxiangfan! ”

As soon as this statement came out...

Cao Cao's pupils became frightened.

Father and Lao Li were kneeling on the ground with the county magistrate and the county magistrate, burying their heads in great fear...

Cao Cao's voice came out one after another, "That is to say, even I am a fan... I don't have any middle-aged male anymore? They're all... All dead in battle? ”
