Please ask me to be the emperor

When Cao Wenzhao arrived in Taiyuan, Shanxi, Wu Di, the new governor of Shanxi, was worried about the rogues and bandits all over Shanxi.

Under the full force of the officers and soldiers, the large-scale rebel army crossed the Yellow River to harm Henan, Shaanxi, Huguang and other places. However, the entire social order of the devastated Shanxi was turned upside down by these people.

There are many mountainous areas in Shanxi. Once the social order collapses, those powerful bandits will take the opportunity to occupy the mountains and become kings, causing trouble for everyone.

Wu Di was not a mediocre minister. As soon as he arrived in Shanxi, he wrote to Emperor Chongzhen, describing the four difficulties of "defense, border raids, training troops, and caring for the people", and proposed four things to deal with: "discussing troops, discussing generals, discussing pay, and discussing personnel". Policy.

Among the candidates for the general, Wu Dixiang chose Cao Wenzhao, the general in command of Lintao. This man is brave, resourceful, and good at fighting. He is a rare and fierce general.

It happened that this man was defeated when he was defending Hou Jin's plunder of Xuanda land. The court considered him guilty and sent him to the border guard station.

Wu Di hurriedly wrote many times, hoping that the court would allow him to come to Shanxi and make meritorious deeds. As a result, he did not expect that the court would eventually agree to his idea of ​​letting Cao Wenzhao perform meritorious service, but the place of performing meritorious service was changed to Henan.

Poor Governor Wu Zong wasted so much time and ended up making wedding clothes for others, which made him feel really depressed.

He had no choice but to vigorously promote generals Hu Dawei, Liu Guangzuo and others as generals, and selected 3,000 strong men from the guards as standard camps to train day and night.

On this day, Wu Di, the governor of Shanxi, was having a meal when his servants suddenly came in and reported: "Cao Wenzhao has arrived outside Taiyuan City with 2,000 men and horses under his command, and has come to see the Fu army!"

At that time, Wu Di, the governor of Shanxi, simply thought that he had heard it wrong. After repeatedly confirming the matter, Wu Di quickly spit out the food he had eaten without even thinking about swallowing it. He simply rinsed his mouth and led people to greet him out. .

Wu Gang had just arrived at the door when he saw a big man kneeling down with a plop, lying on the ground and crying bitterly: "Wu Fujun, the imperial edict has come too late! I wish I could come and repay Fujun for his great kindness, which brought this day!"

Wu Di hurriedly stepped forward to help Cao Wenzhao up. When he looked up, he saw the burly Cao Wenzhao's eyes were red, his face was haggard, and he looked extremely sad.

Governor Wu Di quickly let Cao Wenzhao into the palace, and both parties sat down one by one. Wu Di then asked: "What's going on with General Cao? According to the imperial court report, the general should be suppressing bandits in Henan now. Why did he disobey the holy will and come here?"

Cao Wenzhao sighed sadly when he heard this, and then said while holding back tears: "Thanks to Fujun's intercession, the Holy Master ordered me to serve the crime and go to Henan Prefecture to encircle and suppress the 'shun thieves' who occupied Luoyang City."

"I never thought that both the imperial court and I were wrong. The 'Shun Thief' had a large number of men and horses, perhaps seven or eight thousand. I personally led two generals, Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang, and they were defeated in three battles, losing troops and generals."

"Even my nephew Cao Bianjiao fell into the hands of the thieves, woo hoo!" Speaking of his sadness, Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but burst into tears.

A man doesn't shed tears easily, but he hasn't reached the sad point yet! Wu Di, the governor of Shanxi, quickly ordered his servants to hand over handkerchiefs for Cao Wenzhao to wipe.

Cao Wenzhao took the handkerchief, wiped it haphazardly twice, and then said with a choked sob: "To be honest with Fu Jun, Wenzhao left Meng County and returned to Taiyuan without drinking a drop of water or eating a grain of rice along the way. It’s not that the army is short of food, it’s that the anger in his heart is hard to calm down, and he can’t eat or sleep.”

"Sooner or later, I think about the death of Bianjiao, and ask myself: What face do you have to face your brothers and sister-in-law? What face do you have to exist alone in the world? My heart is like a knife, and my liver and intestines are torn apart! I am often in a trance, seeing The nephew turned into a headless corpse, floating around. The blood was dripping from his neck, spraying like a spring, splashing like rain, dyeing the sky and the earth with the same color!"

"Is Wen Zhao dead? Is he alive? It's also unclear!"

"Now that Cao has been punished and defeated repeatedly by thieves, there is nowhere to go in the vast world. Thinking of Wu Fujun's many cares for me, I had no choice but to come here shamelessly. cast!"

Governor Wu Di couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. Seeing Cao Wenzhao's grief, he also knew that now was not the time to talk, so he quickly comforted him: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. General Cao, please don't worry! The matter of turning into a dragon is still a matter of course." Please show your condolences and be patient. The thieves are so fierce that the general will cry from morning to night, and from night to morning. How can you cry to death for that 'submissive thief'?"

"In my opinion, the general should cheer up and regroup. When his troops are strong, it will not be too late to take revenge one day!"

"I also want to take a long-term approach, but the court only has laws and regulations, so how can we allow it?" Cao Wenzhao said dejectedly.

"The laws of the imperial court are nothing more than reasonableness. Now that things happen for a reason, how can we stick to the rules? I must try my best to speak for the general and buy some time for him." Wu Di quickly advised.

"If the general doesn't mind his humble position, he can temporarily help me suppress the bandits in Shanxi. A few days ago, the northern invaders harassed Xuanda and other places, and Shanxi lost troops and generals. Now is the time to recruit people, if the general can train my soldiers , wipe out the mountain bandits and bandits. When Shanxi's soldiers and horses are strong, the bandits and bandits will be wiped out. I am willing to lend my best soldiers and horses to the general, and the general will go to Henan Province to suppress the bandits before it is too late!"

What Governor Wu Di said was exactly what Cao Wenzhao wanted. How could he not comply? He quickly responded: "I have my wish, but I dare not invite you!"

Here Cao Wenzhao said, "Just like a tiger lying on a barren hill, with its minions lurking to endure", he only turned his hatred and anger into motivation, sharpening his sword sooner or later to make Zhang Shun look good.

Over there, Zhang Shun was not idle in Luoyang City either. Since Cao Bianjiao "conquered Fu but not Shun", King Fu gathered three people under his command: Lu Weiqi, the former Minister of War in Nanjing, Wang Shaoyu, the commander-in-chief of Henan Province, and Cao Bianjiao.

Zhang Shun suddenly felt like he had a sharp edge on his back, and he immediately ignored all important matters in the city and quickly called Zhang Shenyan, Song Xiance, and Zhao Yutou to discuss how to deal with it.

Zhang Shenyan was once a minister of the Ming Dynasty, so it's hard to say anything; Zhao Yutou's abilities were limited and he couldn't come up with anything. Only Song Xiance smiled and said: "This matter is easy to hear. Please wait a moment, my lord. Song will plot it for your lord!"

Zhang Shun, Zhang Shenyan and others were surprised to ask about his plan, but Song Xiance smiled and said nothing, looking like he was talking.

The question became more serious, and Song Xiance smiled this time and said: "Don't worry, everyone, Song is not a reckless person and will not hurt His Royal Highness Prince Fu!"

"Based on Song's sharp tongue, he must have said that King Fu fell to the ground and was willing to entrust his power to King Shun!"

Zhang Shun and Zhang Shenyan were hesitant, but now they had no other good solution, so they had to leave the matter to Song Xiance.

After Song Xiance got the order from his lord, he took a fly whisk, put on a Taoist robe, smoothed his beard, and went to visit King Fu with an air of immortality and Taoism.
