Hu's funeral was very simple.
On the way, they couldn't find enough linen to make mourning clothes. Only Cao Pei could barely fit together, Cao De had a pure white jacket, and the rest just wrapped their heads in white cloth.
Mrs. Bian wanted to wear sackcloth and mourning, but no one left her sackcloth.So she could only find a white coat with the least pattern from the old clothes, removed all the hairpins and jewelry, and came to Hu's tomb late at night.
The bright moon was in the sky, and the shouting and killing outside had stopped.The crow's cry hovered under the clear night sky, and the white flag in front of the grave kept shaking.
Cao Pei leaned against the newly built tombstone, her complexion was pale in the moonlight.Hearing Bian's footsteps, she slowly raised her eyelids: "If you are pregnant, you should rest well."
"The concubine came to do my filial piety to my wife."
"hypocritical!"
Mrs. Bian knelt down and added a piece of straw paper to the brazier. "I saw Xiangyong, who was guarding the city, drinking and celebrating. I thought the siege of Tongting had been lifted. But the road ahead is long, and the Cao family's heart is scattered, and they don't know what to do."
"This is you." Cao Pei straightened up from the tombstone, and added a piece of toilet paper to the brazier, "But it's useless for you to ask me. I am a widow, and I will die when I die. I have no mother to take care of, and no The baby is going to be born."
"Langjun and Erlang love you the most among many younger siblings, how can they say such self-defeating words?"
"Heh." Cao Pei chuckled, "Eldest brother only has second brother in his eyes. As for second brother..."
"How?" Mrs. Bian seemed to have realized something, and reached out to grab Cao Pei's arm, "Erlang saved a man for you, didn't he?"
Cao Pei turned his face sideways and cast an emotionless gaze.This look was so terrifying that Bian couldn't help but let go of his hand. "Madam won't want to watch you die with your whole family."
The flames in the brazier danced and shone on the faces of the two women.
"Where do you want to go? My father has been Jiuqing for so many years, and my elder brother has been a general for so many years. What is the situation in this world, where is the Cao family going, and where is it our turn to worry?"
Bian's brow twitched fiercely, but her long-term self-cultivation made her persist until the stack of straw paper was burned before getting up and leaving.
Cao Pei looked at her back, his face was dead silent, only the small seal with the word "Cao Pei" engraved on one side of his palm kept turning.There is anger in her heart, but it is a dead energy, and only revenge and destruction can feed this dead energy.
Less than two hours later, the sky was bright.Conflict finally broke out in the Cao family's convoy.The one who betrayed the organization was not the Zhang family who had been clamoring all the time, but the servants.
"Old Mansion Lord, I have too much money with me, and it has been coveted by all parties. Now the Yuzhou Army is asking us for money and food, what should I do?"
"Yanzhou Shepherd Liu Dai is not good at leading the army. The yellow scarves who were defeated in Jizhou went south to Yanzhou and gathered in the mountains and forests. This road is impassable unless we detour to Jizhou."
"Master, I heard that Jizhou Shepherd Wang Fen pacified the southern part of Jizhou and searched people's wealth wantonly. The tax for merchants is five out of ten. If I pass through Jizhou, I will starve to death before I reach Qingzhou. Why don't you turn around and return to Qiao County."
"In troubled times, men, women, old and weak, and the whole family migrate, which is inherently dangerous. I hope the old man will think twice."
"If the old master doesn't listen to the persuasion and insists on going north to seek death, please let me go."
"Yes, please let me go."
……
Cao Song didn't come up in one breath, his hands were shaking: "You...you...big...."
"Bold!" a shrill female voice scolded.Especially unfamiliar because of the deformation of the voice.The crowd parted, and it was Bian in plain clothes who came over.
Her hair is a little messy, but full of momentum. "The world is in chaos, how can there be real peace? The yellow scarves are raging, and Qiao County will be affected at any time. Now only where you join your husband and where there are heavy troops can you survive."
When Bian said this, she paused slightly, and when she spoke again, it was the usual gentle female voice: "Before my husband left, he entrusted the lives of the whole family, if you give up halfway, how will you face the word 'loyalty'? "
The men couldn't hold their heads up because of what she said, and finally bowed their hands and returned to their original posts, carrying luggage, guarding guards.
"When Mrs. Hu was here, she didn't realize how powerful you are." Mrs. Zhang got out of the carriage, "It's amazing to have your husband backing you up."
Mrs. Bian bent her knees: "The whole family relies on her husband's military strength to survive, so it is natural and honorable for me to be a concubine."
"You—OK, you—" Mrs. Zhang jumped down from the carriage, and was about to slap her, but was stopped by Cao Song.
At the same time, Bian shouted: "I am pregnant with my husband's heir, please save me."
In the next moment, the strong women from the women's medical hall surrounded Bian's family behind a human wall.Although they are not as heavy as Zhang's, they are superior in that their muscles are denser, and it is worthwhile to really fight.
Seeing such a scene, Mrs. Bian finally put her heart back into her stomach.She finally understood: If there are too many routines in being a concubine, you will lose your life.For all his gentleness, virtuousness, obedience and pleasantness, the heavenly king and Lao Tzu are not as important as the child in her womb.
In this way, under the coercion of a concubine, the Cao family's motorcade was on the road again.When they came to the border between Yuzhou and Yanzhou, they met the food team led by Wei Zi.
"Ahead is Cao Sinong's car?" Wei Zi was a young man with slender eyes, and he was full of vigor when he rode forward.
Cao Song poked his head out: "Exactly. I don't know who you are?"
"Chenliu Weizi, Weizi Xu. When Meng De passed Chenliu, he made an appointment with me to escort the Cao family to Pingyuan County, Qingzhou. I have been waiting here for many days."
Cao Song was overjoyed: "As expected, my son has already made arrangements."
The maids and maids in the team even cried with joy: "It can be regarded as relieved."
Mrs. Bian heard it in the car, and turned to look at Cao Pei in surprise.Cao Pei leaned against the wall of the carriage with her eyes closed, as if she were dead.
"You already knew?"
"Second brother will be answered when he mentions Yuzhou." Cao Pei still closed his eyes, "Mr. Zhang's luck...is really good."
When this group of Cao family members with different thoughts arrived in Pingyuan County, Cao Cao had already conquered Gaotang City.A city surrounded by water on three sides was conquered for nothing more than two reasons: water attack and internal response.
Cao Jun diverted water to irrigate the city, and all the food in the city was fed to fish and shrimp.Under the hunger, naturally someone opened the door and surrendered.It was Guan Hai himself who surrendered.
When Cao Cao asked him why he surrendered, the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army replied in this way: "I am a rough man, but I also know that it will not work if you go on like this. No one is farming, and the food will be eaten sooner or later. Yes. Everyone wants to make a living, so it’s not as good as your Cao Jun’s job."
The Yellow Turban Army is divided into fanatics and gangsters. Guan Hai, who is a gangster, has long been thinking of washing his hands and going ashore. This time Cao Jun's siege of the city is just an opportunity.
When Cao Song and his party walked into the Pingyuan Prefect's Mansion, Cao Cao was writing a letter to Asheng in Liaodong.What letter should I write?Borrow seeds.
The 20 men, women and children who surrendered had to go back to the countryside to farm.The land is all ready-made barren fields, and a lot of farm tools have been collected from various places, but there is a lack of seeds.Although it is winter now, there are still vegetables such as cabbage that can be planted; and the grain seeds for next spring must be prepared.
"You're right." Cao Song changed his clothes and took the initiative to sit in the guest seat instead of grabbing Cao Cao's head. "Food is the most important thing for the people. Only when farmers are stable can Pingyuan County be stable."
Cao Cao tilted half of his buttocks to show his uneasiness. "I think that next summer when the wheat will come down, I will attack Dong."
"Fight Dong?" Cao Song's expression changed immediately, "You are not stable in the plain, why do you want to raise troops? Half a year is enough for you to wipe out the Yellow Turbans in Pingyuan County?"
"Yellow Turban Army, nine out of ten I have recruited, and the remaining few escaped into other counties and won't make a fortune. As for cutting Dong, it should be sooner rather than later. If it is too late, the prestige of the big man will be gone. Once Mu stands firm, he must try to stand on his own.”
"It's none of our business for them to stand on their own?" Cao Song still couldn't figure it out, "As a prefect, can you beat the state shepherd or Dong Zhuo? Hitting a stone with an egg, you...can't you let my father live a peaceful life for a few days? ?”
Cao Cao couldn't do anything about his father's crying, so he had to hand over a letter. "Xu You sent me this a few days ago, take a look."
Xu You is an active member of Yuan Shao's "running men's team" and also belongs to the first-class celebrity mad student.But this person was particularly restless, and now he ran to Jizhou Mu Wangfen again.This letter written in precious silk cloth was sent from Jizhou.
Cao Song's eyes were already blurred, and he squinted his eyes to try to identify: "Today, Dong, thief, rebel, Shang, Liu, Xie, Fei, Lingdi, Zi, Yi, Lihe Feihou? They... how dare they? "
Cao Cao took back the letter and put it in his sleeve: "Father, you have seen that your Majesty was established by Dong Zhuo, and the people at home are not convinced. If Dong Zhuo continues to control the government, I am afraid that the world will be torn apart."
"Alas. In fact, when the late emperor was in power, the taxpayers and populations in various places decreased year by year. This is not something we, a mere courtier, can change."
"A real man was born in the world, but he can't help the country. What use is this body?!"
Cao Song got angry, slapped the table and shouted: "Nizi. I gave you your body, hair and skin. Who will allow you to seek death? You want to send troops? Don't expect me to pay half a cent!"
"Father just cares about his life."
"Okay, okay. You, Cao Mengde, are stubborn with me, isn't it just relying on Cao Zhonghua to send you food?" Cao Song stood up, "I'll find her right now. Don't worry, the seeds are easy to talk about, but the food and grass you want to send troops, there is no way !"
Cao Cao was stunned: "Ah Sheng will listen to you?"
Cao Song snorted, "You still don't know her well enough, Cao Ruyi." Ah Sheng remembers things too early.The death of Cao Teng back then was blurred to Cao Cao, but it was a clear thorn in A Sheng's heart.
Cao Song still remembers that little girl in filial piety, held up her chopsticks and said, "If God has mercy on me, I can live without eating millet."
How did he do it?He seemed to cover his daughter's mouth and scolded her to "speak cautiously".
Since then, Cao Song has never heard A Sheng say any outrageous words, but she lived overseas and joined the barbarians, which made her position clear.Cao Sheng would not be happy to see Cao Cao working for the Han Dynasty.
As a father, although he has no guts or ability, his own children are counted.He knew that Cao Sheng was rebellious, just like he knew that Cao De can only be successful, and Cao Cao is a great talent.
On the way, they couldn't find enough linen to make mourning clothes. Only Cao Pei could barely fit together, Cao De had a pure white jacket, and the rest just wrapped their heads in white cloth.
Mrs. Bian wanted to wear sackcloth and mourning, but no one left her sackcloth.So she could only find a white coat with the least pattern from the old clothes, removed all the hairpins and jewelry, and came to Hu's tomb late at night.
