685 The choice of the traitor
After the heavy snowfall, the majestic Taihang Mountain is vast and picturesque.
Getting up early in the morning and walking out of the handsome tent, Cao Mengde's poems flourished, accompanied by Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Liu Fu and other Wenchen, and wrote a poem, which attracted applause.
Yesterday, the army walked for a day and entered the territory of Zhao, and it snowed heavily, so Cao Cao ordered to set up camp and rest for a day before leaving. Today's snow has passed and the sky is clear, Cao Cao is dressed up early and ready to continue to lead his troops back to Yecheng.
The army was about to leave camp, when suddenly several horsemen came galloping from the north, looking anxious and tired, with dust and wind and frost on their bodies and cheeks, as if they were in a hurry.
This made Cao Cao's sixth sense a little uncomfortable, frowning and groaning: "Hiss...... Could it be that something happened to the Wuji camp? As soon as I left with my army, I was attacked by the Huns? Temujin is so domineering in his use of soldiers, if he is so powerful, he is really my fierce enemy! ”
Except for the attack on the Xiongnu camp by the Wuji camp, Cao Cao really couldn't think of any other urgent information. At present, he is also a friend and an enemy of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and without completely tearing the skin, Cao Cao does not think that Li Jing will sneak attack his own camp, which has no benefit to the Eastern Han Dynasty. As for Gongsun Chan and Ran Min, they are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect themselves, and there is no reason to provoke themselves; Li Tang's army was separated by Li Jing and Wei Qing's 160,000 troops, and it was impossible for them to penetrate deep into Jizhou.
"What's the alarm?"
Cao Cao shook his black cloak, revealing an expression that did not move, letting his thick beard flutter in the cold wind, and asked in a deep voice when the scout came to the horse.
"Report ......"
The scout rolled out of his saddle with a hoarse voice, and the frost and snow on his clothes had frozen after a night's gallop, and he couldn't bother to tidy up. staggered to Cao Cao and knelt on the ground: "Lord Qi...... Son...... Childe, he ......"
"What's wrong?" Cao Cao's two eyebrows furrowed, spliced together. It almost became a line, and the deep and unfathomable eyes revealed a cold light. Coldly asked, "Captured by the Huns?" Killed? ”
"...... Killed by the Eastern Han Dynasty Jinyi Guard! The scout's throat constricted, and he said tremblingly, "Zhen ...... The Zhen family also turned into a sea of fire, the people of the Zhen family seemed to have been robbed by the Jinyi guards of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the three generals Wang, Xia, and Shan had already led their troops to pursue them, and the future was unknown! ”
Cao Cao's cheeks twitched slightly, as if he was smiling.
"Lord, please mourn and change!" Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Cao Wenzhao, Li Tong and other civil and military forces were taken aback. hurriedly bowed down to appease Cao Cao.
"Hmph......" Cao Cao let out a cold snort of disappointment, "It's not that Zihuan died, but that it's only one day, I only left for one day, and Zihuan had an accident!" Could it be that my Cao Mengde's heir is so unsuccessful? ”
"The lord asks for condolences and changes, isn't there still the eldest son, the son, and the son?" Guo Jia and Jia Xu and others comforted together, "The eldest son is resolute and upright. Be humble, with him, you can inherit the great cause of the lord. ”
"Prepare the horses!" Cao Cao waved his hand, "I want to go back to the camp in person." How exactly did Zihuan die? How did Guohua (Cao Bin), an uncle, assist his nephew? ”
The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and Cao Cao was under the protection of Dian Wei and Niu Jin, accompanied by Guo Jia and Jia Xu. He led 5,000 light horsemen to turn their horses around and return to the Wuji camp. Cao Wenzhao, Li Tong, Liu Fu, Dong Zhao and others were left to lead the army to be stationed on the spot. Wait for orders.
When he came, the horses and cavalry were mixed, and he only walked a hundred and ten miles in a day. At this moment, the horse returned quickly, and it took half a day to return to the Wuji camp.
When Cao Bin learned that Cao Cao had returned in person, he ordered someone to find thorns, took off his shirt and bare his arms to welcome him out of the village, and knelt down on one knee in front of Cao Cao's horse: "Bin failed to take care of Zihuan well, and he caused such a catastrophe, please punish my brother!" ”
Cao Cao glared at Cao Bin angrily and turned over and dismounted, pulled the thorn from Cao Bin's back, and raised it high, but unexpectedly pulled a thorn according to the palm of his left hand: "If you want to fight, you will beat me first, blame me Cao Mengde for not teaching his son well, there is such an unsuccessful son in the family!" ”
"Bring all the soldiers around Zihuan into the tent, I want to ask clearly!" Cao Cao's cloak shook and strode into the handsome tent, followed by all the civil and military forces.
More than half of Cao Pi's three hundred guards died, and there were still one hundred and ten people left, and the fierce and vicious Dian Wei personally went out, brought several important leaders into the handsome tent, and kicked down in front of Cao Cao: "Kneel, recruit from the truth!" ”
"The lord forgives the sin, and last night the prince suddenly ordered to prepare a carriage and go to Zhenjiazhuang. The villain didn't dare to dissuade them, so they could only follow them to Zhenjiazhuang......" Several Cao Pi's personal soldiers were so frightened that their faces were like earth, and they trembled and recruited from the truth.
"What are you doing in Zhenjiazhuang?" Dian Wei roared angrily, "If you stammer, Lao Tzu will straighten your tongue for you!" ”
Cao Cao sighed and stopped Dian Wei's intimidation.
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, a young man with strong blood, went to the house of a woman who had coveted it for a long time in the middle of the night, it was definitely not a gossip, and his face was dull when he said it. As for whether Cao Pi has defiled Zhen Mi, it doesn't matter now, Jin Yiwei has already made a move, and his son has returned to the West, the contradiction between himself and Liu Wei is public, and the only remaining trace of face has been torn.
"What about Zihuan's corpse?" Cao Cao frowned and asked.
"It has been buried in the sea of fire and turned into ashes with Zhenjiazhuang." Cao Pi's own soldiers replied in a snort.
Cao Cao shook his head and sighed: "Alas...... It's okay, just when Cao Mengde doesn't have such an unscrupulous son, he doesn't even have this concentration, how can he talk about dominating the world in the future? It's really disappointing for me, look at Sun Wentai's son, what a young hero he is, I'm not as good as Sun Jian! ”
"Lord!" Guo Jia interjected, "In Jia's opinion, although Zihuan Gongzi is young and lacks training, he is not so frivolous. As soon as the lord left, the son rushed to Zhenjiazhuang overnight, is there something strange in this? ”
Cao Bin just put on his clothes, and without waiting for Cao Cao to ask, he glared at Cao Pi's own soldiers: "Why did Zihuan go to Zhenjiazhuang overnight?" Why didn't you come and inform me? ”
"Childe, he deliberately told the villain and others, saying that who dared to leak the news, the military stick will deal with it, and we will dare to disobey." Cao Pi's own soldiers looked innocent and knelt on the ground to defend themselves.
"Let's go, go to Zihuan's tent and have a look!" Cao Cao strode out of Cao Bin's camp and went straight to Cao Pi's barracks.
Cao Pi, who was in a hurry, left in a hurry, and the leftovers on the table had not had time to be cleaned up, and the two tables, one host and one guest, stood alone in place, and were ordered by Cao Bin to guard them, and no one was allowed to enter.
"Who drank with Childe last night?" Cao Cao asked coldly.
With Su Qin's resourcefulness, he would naturally be calculating, and he had long expected that Cao Cao's staff would get to the bottom of it. Therefore, when he came, he wrapped himself tightly in a big hat, and only a few people saw Su Qinlushan's face, and most of them had died in Zhenjiazhuang with Cao Pi, Cao Cao asked at the moment, but no one knew the answer.
Cao Cao's eyes were like electricity, his eyes swept around the tent, and finally landed on the wine jar, lifted it and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, the mellow and sweet taste of wine was unusually pungent, and he couldn't help frowning: "Hiss...... The smell of wine is so strong, that's why Zihuan is chaotic, right? ”
"Who drank with Zihuan last night?" Cao Bin roared and instructed the lieutenant general, "Let me check, find out!" Let's see who instigated Zihuan to make a big mistake and give his life in vain? ”
The adjutant general immediately asked around the camp, but no one admitted.
But there was a mistake in the hundred, and Captain Cao, who was guarding the camp last night, stood up and provided clues: "When the lowly post was on duty last night, in the evening, a gentleman with a deep hat asked to see the son, and the lowly remembered that the surname was Su, anyway, the son immediately let him into the camp after the report. ”
"Su Luo?" Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other staff members glanced at Cao Cao, and suddenly had an epiphany, and the mystery was solved.
"Haha...... Haha......" Cao Cao smiled bitterly, "Mr. Su played a big game of chess, this is to force me to meet Liu Wenbing!" ”
"Then let's fight, avenge Zihuan's son!" Niu Jin and the generals were surging with emotion, "Now that the Eastern Han Dynasty is fighting on all sides, it is difficult to take care of the beginning and the end, our army has 400,000 armor, why be afraid?" ”
Dian Wei disagreed: "According to my intentions, I should fight the Western Han Dynasty, and ask the Western Han Dynasty to hand over the traitor Su Zhu, he is the culprit who killed the son, why do you want to shout for war with the Eastern Han Dynasty?" ”
"Stand down, only leave Fengxiao, Wenhe, and Guohua in the tent, so as not to make noise and mess up my square inch!" Cao Cao waved his hand to signal the generals to retreat, and one person pondered behind the handsome case.
"Brother, let's go to war!" Cao Bin clenched his fists and said, "How can the side of the couch allow the tiger to snore?" Brother, you have 400,000 armor, sit in control of Hebei, And, Henan, and Yanzhou, and rule nearly 10 million people, Liu Wei will never tolerate his brother, Han Xin, Di Bu, Peng Yue and others are a lesson from the past, our army and the Eastern Han Dynasty will have a battle sooner or later! Taking advantage of the fact that the Eastern Han Dynasty is now surrounded by beacons, our army has erected a big banner and taken the opportunity to make trouble, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer. If we wait for Liu Wei to pacify Bashu and repel Guishuang and Li Tang, our army will be in danger! ”
Cao Cao's eyebrows furrowed, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he muttered: "This matter is very important, and it needs to be carefully considered, if you are not careful, you will lose everything!" ”
Jia Xu, who had never taken the initiative to speak, finally interjected: "Let's wait for the generals Wang and Xia to come back first, and see if we can chase back the Jinyi Wei and the Zhen family?" Wait for the dust to settle down, so as to determine whether there is only one way to meet each other with Liu Wei? ”
In the middle of the night, Cao Jun returned to the camp dejectedly, Xia Luqi and Shan Xiongxin immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty after seeing Cao Cao: "Please surrender to the lord, the last general and others did not capture Wencheng and the Zhen family sisters, but were ambushed by Ma Chaoxi's Liangqi cavalry in Anxi County, and the soldiers were defeated, and even ...... Yanzhang was also arrested. ”
"What? Even Wang Yanzhang was arrested? Cao Cao took the case, shocked and angry, and had nowhere to vent his depression, "I am heartbroken Zihuan, but the loss of a general makes me even more worried, what should I do?" ”
