Chapter 740: A Lifelong Enemy
Chapter 740: A Lifelong Enemy
It is said that Yang Xiu's face is white and ruthless, and he cut Xiahou Cheng's throat with his bare hands, and the children of the Xiahou family with the highest martial arts achievements are dying. Xiahou Juan couldn't accept the tragic death of her brother, and she couldn't take revenge on Yang Xiu, so she rushed out of the ancestral hall and disappeared into the night.
In fact, on the way here, Yang Xiu and Cao Zhi had already encountered a complex situation and conducted some research. The conclusion of the study is that if Cao Cao personally dealt with this matter, it would inevitably be bloody and resolute, so this matter can be described as an ultimate test of the three brothers' decisive ability.
Cao Zhi didn't want to be so resolute and completely offended the Xiahou Yuan family, but in Yang Xiu's view, the Xiahou Yuan family was Cao Pi's lackey, and this severe punishment could not only kill a hundred people, but also hit Cao Pi's authority by surprise, and the most important thing was to establish a decisive battlefield in front of Cao Cao, and the image of high means was established.
Cao Zhi wanted to do it himself, but in the end he chose to leave a little leeway and let Yang Xiu make a ruthless white glove. Even Sima Yi couldn't imagine that Yang Xiu could be so resolute, at the moment when Cao Pi's blood poured his pupils, it was Sima Yi who calmed down and stopped Cao Pi, who was about to have a crazy attack. Cao Pi finally calmed down from the initial shock, and the next moment the three brothers held hands and knelt down together in front of Cao Song and Cao Angling.
Cao Zhi's tears flowed down instantly, for Cao Ang, the eldest brother, Cao Zhi has memories and thoughts. The young and handsome face and the willful and heroic white horse in the impression seemed to jump in front of him, and he blurted out a few lines of poetry, "The white horse is decorated with gold bonds, and Cao Ang gallops northwest" made all the Cao brothers cry.
Cao Pi cried, and sighed in his heart, if Cao Zhi was allowed to take the lead this time, how would he have the face of his de facto eldest brother. When the order was issued, only Sima Yi, a dead friend, responded: "Respect the five senses Zhonglang will die!" ”
The general of the five senses is Cao Pi's official position at the moment, representing one of the guards around the emperor. This official is neither big nor small, but he does not have the power to lead troops. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the name of Zhonglang General was widely added to the military attache by various separatist forces, no longer limited to the post of Janissary Commander, etc., and became a class roughly between the general and the captain. During the Jian'an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Cao Cao became the king of Wei, his heir Cao Pi led the five officials and became the deputy of the prime minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms, the more famous generals among the Zhonglang were Jianwei Zhonglang General Zhou Yu, and the military division Zhonglang General Zhuge Liang. Since then, the status of the lieutenant generals in the southeast, northwest, and northwest has even been generally considered to be higher than that of miscellaneous generals.
Sima Yi deliberately pointed out Cao Pi's official position and brought all the family members back to reality. In an instant, everyone realized that after Cao Ang's death, all the things that the three characters of the Cao family did on such an important occasion as the mourning hall and at such an important node today were related to the competition for the most important storage position of the Cao family. If anyone stood on the wrong side today, Xiahou, who was cut in front of him, said that it was a precedent, even if he just wanted to watch, he would be splashed with blood.
Wise men know that only silence is gold today, so when Cao Pi issued an order, only Sima Yi came out to receive the order. Yang Xiu stood behind Cao Zhi and looked at Sima Yi who walked out with a little disdain, and his eyes seemed to say, "Zhongda, what can you do to me?" ”
Sima Yi was not angry at all, walked slowly in front of Cao Zhi, and said respectfully: "Chen Hou, Yang Xiu killed the key criminal privately, I am ordered by General Wuguan Zhonglang to capture the murderer, and I ask the general for permission." ”
Cao Zhi once went out with his father Cao Cao as a deputy general, and after returning, he was named Linzi Hou, and later canonized Chen Di, so Sima Yi can call Cao Zhi both a general and a Chen Hou.
Cao Zhi didn't say a word, as if Sima Yi had just been a worm, and his starry eyes only looked at Cao Pi and said, "Second brother, may I ask Yang Dezu what is the first evil of causing his grandfather's death and his clansmen being kidnapped?" ”
Cao Pi coughed noncommittally, anger flashed in Sima Yi's eyes, and then he endured it, bowed his head slightly, and said: "Chen Hou doesn't know, Zhonglang has already convicted Xiahou in front of his clansmen and expelled him from the family." Now Yang Xiu doesn't care about the ......"
Before Sima Yi finished speaking, Cao Zhi had already turned his head and left, as if Sima Yi did not exist at all, revealing Yang Xiu, who was staring at the fire behind him, a trace of sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Sima Yi was speechless for a while, and Cao Zhang suddenly said: "The second brother said that in addition to Xiahou's claim, it is reasonable to ask the guards Zang Ba, Xue Yi and others together to ask the guilt, what does the fourth brother think?" ”
Cao Pi saw Cao Zhang's previous words, which seemed to have the intention of letting Cao Zhi distinguish right from wrong for him, and glared at Cao Zhang, Cao Zhang's heart sank, and then he kept silent.
Cao Zhi sneered slightly, and suddenly pointed at Sima Yi and said, "Sima Zhongda, you are a Chen Hou, do you know which county this Qiao County belongs to?" ”
Sima Yi was slightly stunned, and then said: "Since the first emperor, it has been the hometown of Chen County. Then he understood, bowed his head and didn't dare to say more.
Sure enough, Cao Zhi sneered slightly: "Zhongda, only I am the biggest official in the local area, but you want to deal with me?" ”
Sima Yi was shocked, and knelt down in the dust and said, "Zhongda, I have no such intention!" The general needs to listen to the villain's slander! ”
Yang Dezu had already walked to Cao Zhi's side, his eyes were as cold as a knife, looking at Sima Yi lying on the ground, as if Sima Yi was kneeling down and worshipping not Cao Zhi, but him Yang Xiu Yang Dezu. The two have never been convinced by each other, and they are now lifelong enemies.
Seeing that things were unexpected, Cao Pi finally came over, patted Cao Zhi on the shoulder affectionately, and smiled: "Brother, don't be like him." However, what Zhong Da said was indeed what I said to the third brother, although this place is under the jurisdiction of Xiahou, but the guard general Xue Yi and others failed to prevent the thieves from driving straight along the Shahe River, and they should also be held responsible. Brother, although your fiefdom is here, what does this matter have to do with brother? “
After that, he kicked Sima Yi away, Sima Yi rolled and crawled, and finally got up and stood aside. Cao Pi suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Xiu and said, "Dezu, come here." ”
Yang Xiuben was a little weak in heart, and was startled when he heard the words, and saw that Cao Zhi was silent, so he had to turn his heart sideways and walk in front of Cao Pi, but his eyes looked directly at Cao Pi's right hand, which was pressing on the sword hanging from his waist. Cao Pi stared at Yang Xiu, who bowed his head, and felt a trace of panic in Yang Xiu, suddenly his right hand left the hilt of the sword, put his hand on his shoulder and patted it gently, and said with a pleasant face: "Dezu is panicking, and listen to me." “
