The brothers of the Cao family have different temperaments, and they all have personality flaws, but they are exactly the same in one point, they are all filial sons!

After learning that his mother died of illness, Cao Xiong wailed loudly with blood in his tears. He was in a daze for several days and lost a lot of weight. This is one of the reasons why he has no ambition!

After that, Cao Xiong resolved to observe filial piety for three years, abstained from eating meat and drinking alcohol, and wore white mourning clothes next to his body, and burned incense to worship his mother's spirit card every day, and this little remaining filial piety finally saved his life!

"You still have a bit of filial piety, kid, otherwise you will be fucked to death today. Come, someone, lock him up first, take care of the food, and don't abuse him!"

"promise!"

After all, it was his brother-in-law, Xiao Yi hated it so much that his teeth were itchy, and he couldn't kill him, otherwise the mother-in-law would be in trouble, and the wife would be heartbroken. Two younger brothers have already died, so it's not good to die the third one.

But Cao Xiong got into too much trouble this time. He colluded with courtiers, tampered with the edict, and became a puppet emperor for more than a month. It's too light, and it will cost thousands of dollars, and the wives and children can't even think about surviving!

If you want to let Cao Xiong live, but it is not easy to explain to the subjects of the world, if you commit the felony of treason and do not punish severely, what is the majesty of the country's laws, and how will you govern the country according to the law in the future?

I'm afraid there is only one way, let Cao Xiong not die but 'die', 'die' but not die, since he yearns for the blue sea, he should live on the island for the rest of his life, live by fishing and catching shrimps every day, and catch a few if he is free. Just play with turtles!

After making up his mind, Xiao Yi led his troops to continue the pursuit, gathering soldiers along the way, reorganizing them, and collecting them for use. These people were originally the imperial army, but they just went astray for a while. As long as they are sincere surrenderers, they will never blame the past!

They also sent orders to states, counties, and counties that the imperial court had quelled the rebellion, and asked local officials to clean up the law and order and restore social order as soon as possible, especially in places where civil uprisings occurred, they must do their best to appease!

Previously, Xiao Yi ordered the states and counties in the west to allocate a large amount of food and supplies to the east and distribute them to the people affected by the war. As long as the people are fed and clothed, the civil uprising will naturally subside.

Treat innocent soldiers and common people with warmth like spring, and treat those plotting rebels as ruthlessly as winter!

Xiao Yi sent people to search around, and he must arrest these people and deal with them according to the law of the country. Soon, two important figures were arrested--Hua Xin and Wang Lang. Unfortunately, they have turned into two corpses!

Seeing that the situation was not good, these two ran away immediately. Unfortunately, their escape skills were not good, and they were old and frail. First, their mounts were snatched away, and then they were knocked down on the battlefield, where they were trampled to death by the rebels. .

Fortunately, the heads of the two were not trampled on, and they could still recognize their true colors. They were not polite to such rebellious officials and thieves. Xiao Yi ordered the heads of the two to be chopped off, sent back to Luoyang, and hung on the city gate for ten days. Latecomers quit!

"Report to father, the boy caught a big fish, haha!"

In the afternoon, Xiao Feng ran back excitedly, threw a man off his horse, screamed loudly after landing, he was still alive!

But this one is a bit miserable, not to mention the disheveled face. He was shot in the left rib, bloody and bloody, with two broken bones, and the right calf is twisted badly, as if trampled by a war horse. It seems that even if he can survive, he will spend the rest of his life Also a cripple.

Rinse it with clean water, and then carefully look up and down, and finally recognize the true face - Cao Zhen!

Cao Zhen was born as a general, although he hadn't won any battles, he still had the ability to escape. He galloped all the way in the rebellious army with his horse and knife, and almost let him run away, but he happened to meet Xiao Feng at the edge of the battlefield !

Bullying Xiao Feng when he was young, he wanted to take him as a hostage to help him escape smoothly, but after three rounds of fighting, Cao Zhen was shot off the horse, and his calf was broken by the startled horse, like a dead dog dragged back!

"My lord, please spare my life, for the sake of my sister and niece, please spare my dog's life, woo woo!"

Cao Zhen was one of the core members of the rebellion, and it stands to reason that after he was caught, he should be beheaded immediately for public display, but seeing his pitiful appearance of crying and begging for mercy, Xiao Yi felt a bit uncomfortable.

For one thing, although Cao Zhen is not of the Cao family's blood (he was originally a son of the surname Qin, whose father died saving Cao Cao, and was raised in the prime minister's mansion since he was a child), he was raised by Cao Cao and Mrs. Bian after all, and he is considered Just like your own flesh and blood!

I made a poisonous oath in front of my mother-in-law's coffin that I would never touch the blood of Cao's family under my sword. If I kill Cao Zhen now, I am afraid that my mother-in-law will be uneasy under the nine springs!

Second, Cao Zhen's younger sister is Xia Houshang's wife and Xia Houhui's biological mother. For the sake of his children and relatives, Cao Zhen should be spared, otherwise Xiao Feng will have to kneel on the washboard every day when he gets married. ?

What's more, Cao Zhen is physically disabled and his reputation has been ruined. Even if he wants to do bad things in the future, he will be powerless!

"Carry it down, find a doctor to treat his wounds, and then send him back to Luoyang!"

"promise!"

"Thank you, Grand Master, for not killing me, the villain has no teeth and never forgets - woo woo!"

Knowing that his life was spared, Cao Zhen burst into tears with gratitude, kowtowed to thank him, and was carried away by the soldiers.

And for the rest of his life, he will spend the rest of his life in a remote manor, with three or five servants taking care of him, eating and drinking well every day, and lying in the yard basking in the sun, but he will never step out of the gate, and no friends will come. visit!

"Alas, I love Zhandou, so I can't use it!"

After this incident, Xiao Yi finally understood why Cao Shuang's three brothers had the upper hand in the Gaoping Mausoleum Incident, but they didn't dare to fight Sima Yi. !

It turns out that the cowardly and stupid character is not acquired, but inherited from nature. The root is in Cao Zhen. He thought it was a thousand-mile horse, but it turned out to be a donkey.

Cao Xiong, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Cao Zhen and other conspiratorial rebels have seen people alive and corpses, but there is still a big fish that has not been caught - Sima Yi!

This time Xiao Yi dispatched troops to put down the rebellion, the person he feared the most was Sima Yi, and the one who wanted to get rid of him quickly was also Sima Yi, this 'Tiger Tiger' would not die for a day, and he would not be able to sleep in peace for a day!

When a large number of men and horses were sent to search the battlefield repeatedly, all the captives washed their faces and identified them one by one, so as to prevent Sima Yi from mingling with them and then taking the opportunity to escape!

Even dead bodies have to be inspected, try to find out the identity as much as possible, and see if there is Sima Yi, who cannot be verified because of blood and blood, then make up three cuts, not one less!

At dusk, good news finally came. Sima Yi was found by a pond, but he was already dead!

The corpse was quickly carried back, wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier, a mace arrow was shot in the back of the heart, half of the body was stained red with blood, the head was even more bloody, and there was another place that was sunken. Trampled by horseshoes!

A gold seal was found from the waist of the corpse, engraved with the words 'Dawei Advisory Doctor', which was Sima Yi's official position!

There is also a yellow jade pendant engraved with the pattern of a horse stepping on a flying swallow, which is the symbol of the Sima family!

It can be inferred from this that after Sima Yi's defeat, he changed into a soldier's costume and fled. Unexpectedly, he hit a stray arrow, lost too much blood and died on the battlefield, and was trampled by the horses again. !

Moreover, after washing with water, Sima Yi's appearance can be vaguely seen from the outline of the deceased's facial features, so there must be no mistake!

Could it be that Sima Yi, who was well-known in history for his treachery, cunning, wisdom and patience, just died silently like this?

Xiao Yi didn't believe it.

Chapter 1708 I am the knife, he is the fish!

Xiao Yi has fought in the battlefield for nearly 30 years. He has killed more than ten thousand people with his own hands, and he has seen countless dead bodies. After years of experience, his ability in wound examination and autopsy has reached the pinnacle, unmatched!

The deceased was a male, about 40 years old, with a slender figure, neither fat nor thin. Judging from the stiffness of the body, he had been dead for more than two hours, and the death process needs further speculation.

The first step is to look at the hands of the deceased. The joints are wide and covered with calluses, but judging from the location of the calluses, the deceased did not practice martial arts during his lifetime, but often used farm tools, which is a good job in farming!

There are no calluses on the sides of the thumb, index finger, and middle finger, which means that the deceased did not often write, or could not write at all!

The second step is to look at the teeth. They are severely worn out and in and out, and two molars are missing, which means that they chewed rough food all the year round, and even ate grass roots and bark!

If you are a child of a nobleman, eat carefully since childhood, your teeth will be more neat, and the wear and tear will not be too serious!

The third step is to look at the wound. There is a large bruise on the back of the head, which was smashed out by a blunt instrument. The arrows shot deep into the back of the heart, but the wound did not expand, and the body stretched out.

It shows that the deceased was stunned from behind first, and then shot to death with a bow and arrow at a close range. He didn't struggle before death, and he didn't expect danger. It must have been done by an acquaintance!

To sum up, the deceased was not Sima Yi himself, but an unknown peasant boy!

It is estimated that many years ago, Sima Yi accidentally discovered this farmer who was somewhat similar in size and appearance to himself, so he used money to lure him into the mansion as a follower, just in case!

The farmer didn't know there was a fraud in it, he could eat enough every day, he didn't have to do heavy work, and he could get a good salary. He must be grateful to Sima Yi, but he didn't know that these benefits would cost his life.
