Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 350 Bullying My Young Son

When Cao Cao came to the government office, he glanced at the generals below, and suddenly felt a little annoyed. These people charged forward with unparalleled bravery, but when it came to military and political strategies, none of them could discuss with him.

After Bao Xin's death, all affairs can only be decided by himself, but it's a pity that Xi Zhicai is ill and can't join the army, otherwise why would this be the case?
The reason why Cao Cao killed Bian Rang and others in anger was not that he was an eunuch. He had heard such remarks a lot since he was a child, and he was even a little numb. He killed his uncle Jianshuo in Luoyang, which was a sign of his anger towards eunuchs. A kind of revenge.

But framing him to kill Bao Xin made Cao Cao furious. Bao Xin was well aware of strategies, and Cao Cao relied heavily on him for this dispatch of troops, and discussed everything with Bao Xin.

Bao Xin helped him take over Yanzhou, intending to take advantage of his prestige to regain Yanzhou, but unexpectedly died in battle.

After all, a person's wisdom is limited, if there are more counselors around him, he will not be so passive. Every time at this time, he thinks of Xun Yu who was picked up by Han Fu and is now under Liu He's command.

If Xun Wen had the talent of Wang Zuo, he knew the general plan. In his early years when he raised troops in Chenliu, Cao Cao wrote to invite him.

Cao Cao saw that he was good at strategizing, and the two talked very happily, and they held them in high esteem. It was a pity that Xi Zhicai was seriously ill, but Xun Yu went to Jizhou.

Cao Cao sighed in his heart and asked, "How is the military situation these days?"

Xiahou Dun said: "Zhang Ju has fled into the territory of Dongjun and is besieging Gucheng. Liu Dai personally leads troops to fight against the thieves. The troops have already arrived in Juancheng. My lord must send troops quickly. If it is too late, it will be too late."

"Liu Dai sent troops?" Cao Cao frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, Liu Dai would send troops in person. After pondering for a moment, he said slowly: "Bao Xin is dead, Liu Dai will go out in person, Dongjun is no longer advisable."

Xiahou Dun said anxiously: "My lord, do you want to give up all your previous efforts?"

Cao Cao said: "Yuan Shao is about to perish. Now that Liu Boxing has won Wei County, he will plan to plot the Central Plains. After several wars in the Central Plains, the population is sparsely populated and the fields are barren. Taking Yanzhou is no longer the best strategy."

Cao Ren asked: "What is the countermeasure, my lord?"

Cao Cao said: "Zixiao stays in Jibei, and I will focus on the Lu Kingdom. There is no war here, and it is connected to Xuzhou. It is a good way to go."

Cao Ren said anxiously: "The final general is willing to conquer and kill the four lands with the lord. The great cause has been accomplished. It is better to send someone else to keep the completed matter."

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, and said: "Jibei connects the three prefectures of Qing, Yan, and Hebei, and troops can be dispatched from Mount Tai to support them at any time. With these three lands, we can enter the Central Plains and retreat to keep Xuzhou. This is an important place, Zi Xiao. Calm and capable, only you can take on this great task."

Only then did Cao Ren understand Cao Cao's intentions, and he cupped his fists and said, "My lord has entrusted me with this, and I will serve myself in the end."

Just when Cao Cao took Xiahou Dun as his general and Xiahou Yuan as the vanguard and sent troops to attack the Lu State, news came from Chang'an that Lv Bu assassinated Dong Zhuo, and the traitor was crowned head, and the world applauded.

Cao Cao was stunned and said, "Lü Bu killed the adoptive father again?"

Cao Chun sneered and said: "Dong Zhuo brought disaster to the country and the people. It's a pity that my lord did not kill this official back then, but now he dies at the hands of his adopted son. It shows that what he did is so defiant that it has made people and gods angry."

Le Jin said: "Although Wang Yun's serial scheme is ingenious, Lv Bu's decision to kill Dong Zhuo may be due to his notoriety. Lv Bu considers himself a hero, but Dong Zhuo is perverted and condemned by thousands of people, so he kills Dong Zhuo to rectify his name. "

"Kill your father to justify your name?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly there was a gleam in his heart, and a cold light flashed from the corner of his long and narrow eyes, and he said to Cao Chunyan, "Hurry up and send someone to Wen Lie's place, and order him to take down the pi Investigate the matter of Ruo Rong's revival of Buddha in detail, and report it to me."

"Obey!" Cao Chun took the order and left.

On the second day when the army was dispatched, Cao Hong sent someone to report that Bian Rang and his party of more than [-] people were killed on the bank of Sishui, and their bodies were thrown into Sishui.

After Bian Rang called on the people in Lu State to crusade against Cao Cao, he set off to the north, and scholars along the way went to pay homage, and Cao Hong easily found out where he was, and blocked him by the edge of Surabaya.

Cao Cao sighed after hearing this: "Zi Lian's actions are still too violent. This massacre is only afraid that all parts of Yanzhou will regard me as an enemy!"

Cao Ang didn't care, he laughed and said: "Such frivolous people can only confuse people's hearts, and they will be happy if they are killed. The Han Dynasty was destroyed by these aristocratic families. How can the royal family be revitalized without getting rid of the rich and powerful?"

Cao Cao was shocked and stared at Cao Ang: "Why did you say this, traitor? Who taught you?"

Cao Ang was stunned, and said: "Back then at Hulao Pass, my boy and Liu Boxing had a happy chat. It was he who felt after drinking that eunuchs and relatives were not to be feared, but the rich and powerful families have been troubled for generations. My boy greatly agreed with it, isn't it right? ?”

"Liu Boxing, how dare you bully my son?" Cao Cao gritted his teeth for a while, and reprimanded him, "Such rebellious words should not be mentioned to others."

Cao Ang was puzzled and said: "The family has been troubled for a long time, what's wrong with it?"

"Oh, you stupid son of a bitch!" Cao Cao yelled angrily, pointing at Cao Ang angrily, "Since Liu He has such a grand theory, why don't you see him talking about it? You are talking about the troubles of the family at this time, why don't you Who dares to serve my Cao family? I don’t think Liu He is talking about it after drinking, but he may have ulterior motives.”

Cao Ang looked bewildered, scratched his head and said: "Boy and Liu Boxing are considered sympathetic, and he saved the life of the baby, but he said after drinking. At that time, everyone was united in hunting for thieves. I don't know the situation today. Why did you come up with such a plan? Father, you are so young. people……"

"Shut up!" Cao Cao was furious, his face flushed red and his beard trembled, "I'm a warrior with a straightforward temperament, how can I know that people are unpredictable?"

Seeing that Cao Cao was furious, Cao Ang lowered his head and stuck out his tongue secretly, turned around and went out to dispatch troops, not interested in these intrigues.

As Liu He said, a man should be ambitious, hold a three-foot sword to serve his family and country, learn from Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to expand the territory, such as Yuntai 28, will shine through the ages, conspiracies and tricks are the actions of villains, and great heroes disdain to do so. also!

"What a good Liu He, you bewitched young people, you will be destroyed by heaven!" Cao Cao was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe. At this moment, when he thought about meeting Liu He, his cheerful smile turned ferocious.

Because Cao Ang lost his mother since he was a child, Cao Cao had a preference for him, and after Bian adopted him, he doted on him even more.

They formed an alliance at Hulao Pass and became close friends with Liu He. After returning, they never forgot about him and admired Guan Yu's bravery. He changed his weapons. This gave Cao Cao a headache and he always felt like his elbows were turned outward.

"Hey, in the future, we must let Pi'er learn literature, and invite more famous teachers to teach him, and learn the art of ghost valley first."

Cao Cao sighed deeply, now that Cao Ang has grown up, the country is easy to change, but his temperament is hard to change, so he can only learn more about the art of war. As for literature and politics, he has to pin his hopes on his second son Cao Pi.

Not long after, Xiahou Dun sent someone to report that the three armies were ready. Cao Cao raised his sword and left the city with the others.
