Run a B&B and receive Wu Song at the beginning

By the Miaoshui River, Cao Cao sat quietly on a big stone, looking at the water under the moonlight in trance.

Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Li Dianle, Yu Jin and others were standing around. Everyone wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it. The summer night, which was originally cool and breezy with the chirping of insects and birds, was now even quieter than Cambridge.

Li Dian, who had just crossed the river, had brought all the information about Yanzhou with him.

Liaocheng fell, Dong'a fell, Jibei fell, Puyang fell... the entire Dongjun was lost, and even Jibei and Dongping were swept away by the imperial army.

On the other side of Taishan County, Zhonglang General Xu Rong led the imperial army and attacked in three directions. Zang Ba, who was entrenched in the Taishan area, also sent a letter asking for help.

In the past, Zang Ba, who used to seek refuge with Tao Qian when Yanzhou was pressed hard and showed favor to Cao Cao when Xuzhou was pressed hard, now faced a desperate end.

The mountain warfare he was proud of was completely ineffective. No matter how he hid, he would be picked out by the imperial army. What was even more frightening was that Xu Rong had been promoting Qingzhou to recruit people to farm, and each person would have fifty acres of Yongye land. Yes, the earlier you go, the better the plot will be. If you go later, you can only plant hills and mountains.

Zang Ba's men were all Yellow Turbans, and they rebelled when they had no choice but to rebel. Now that they suddenly heard that there was land to cultivate, it was Yongye Field, and the gene that was good at farming in their bones could no longer be suppressed.

Although Zang Ba repeatedly claimed that these were tricks of the imperial court, and he would be beheaded if he went there.

However, on the first day of the propaganda, more than 500 people still ran away, and on the second day there were even more people, so that Zang Ba had to set up a special supervision team to prevent his men from escaping.

However, within a few days, the supervising team also began to escape and could not be stopped at all.

Regarding Zang Ba, Cao Cao has always felt that he was two-faced. If it were not for his lack of strength, he would have killed this loser long ago. So now that he heard that Zang Ba was defeated, instead of feeling uncomfortable, he was quite happy.

But when he thought of his personal bodyguard Xu Chu being killed like this, Cao Cao felt a little more depressed.

After sitting for a long time, he sighed heavily:

"I told Zhongkang a long time ago that the world is huge and there are many talents. His strength is not enough in front of Fengxian. However, he has been arrogant and arrogant and cannot listen to any advice... Where are Zhongkang's wife and children? ?”

Li Dian quickly raised his hands and replied:

"I followed Xu Ding back to his hometown in Qiao County. I should still be on the way now."

"How's the public station going?"

Li Dian did not expect that Cao Cao would suddenly ask Chen Gong, and after recalling it carefully, he said:

"It is said that when the imperial army attacked Dongwuyang, Chen Gongtai took the initiative to offer the city and asked to serve as an official. Then he led a group of people and quickly went to Chenliu..."

Hearing this, Cao Cao sighed again:

"Chen Liu, no more...Brother Zhang Miao has been dissatisfied with me for a long time. Now that Gongtai is lobbying, their brothers will definitely abandon me."

Just as he was talking, Cao Cao suddenly laughed several times at the quietly flowing Miaoshui River:

"It's pitiful that I was running around, spending all my wealth, recruiting troops, and recruiting talents... I finally managed to win the territory of Yanzhou, but in the end it was all in vain."

His self-deprecating smile made his subordinates feel terrified.

Cao Hong bravely took a step forward, cupped his hands and said:

"Lord, now we still have tens of thousands of troops, as well as food and grass, and the counties in the south of Yanzhou. We might not be able to fight to the death with the imperial army!"

Cao Cao smiled and asked:

"I heard rumors in the army that the Yan Han Dynasty was destroyed and the Cao family was resurrected. How could it be said that the great Han Dynasty was about to run out and the Cao family would take its place?"

Cao Hong thought he was going to be punished, so he hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake:

"This is what the villain spread to others in order to stabilize the morale of the army. If the master wants to punish me, just tie me up! I will die without any regrets!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and signaled him to get up:

"Who is the leader of the imperial court's attack on Yanzhou?"

Li Dian replied:

"My name is Yuwen Chengdu. It is said that he is the nephew of Lu Zhonglang. He and Lu Fengxian are brothers and sisters. The two are equally skilled in martial arts. Zhong Kang was killed as a joke by this man."

Yuwen?

Cao Cao recalled carefully and did not remember that the big man had such a surname:

"He is obviously not from a noble family, but he can actually become a Cavalry Captain and lead an army by himself. This person's military ability must be very high, otherwise he would not receive such preferential treatment."

From the information brought by Li Dian alone, we can see that General Yuwen methodically encroached on half of Yanzhou's land in just half a month.

The speed of the attack was so fast that there was no rebellion anywhere, which shows that he stabilized the people and brought everyone back home as soon as he occupied the city.

Judging from the marching route, this person was neither fast nor slow. In addition to frontal attacks, he also did not forget to let Gongtai go to Chenliu to lobby the two brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao.

Where did the imperial court discover a top talent?

I heard that Lu Bu went to Yizhou before. Cao Cao thought he could survive until next year. Who knows that the coach here is no less than Fengxian, and is even more experienced than Lu Bu in terms of arranging troops.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao picked up a stone with a childlike innocence and threw it into the Miaoshui River. The bright moon reflected in the water suddenly seemed like mercury pouring down the ground, shattering the river of silver light:

"In the past, Emperor Wu conquered the Xiongnu for several years, and the two sides were in a stalemate. The ministers of the imperial court were quite critical. Just when Emperor Wu also doubted whether attacking the Xiongnu was a mistake, Huo Qiaoqi came out of the blue. On his first trip to Mobei, he won something he had not experienced for many years. Result, big The blood of the Han Dynasty was boiling with enthusiasm, and the good men and women joined the army enthusiastically, and the opposition voices in the court were all gone... Now that the Han Dynasty was in a critical situation, he thought that his fate was approaching, but unexpectedly, there were also new Huo Qiaoqi, and there were even more than one. "

A Lu Fengxian who is both civil and military is enough to defy the heavens. Now there is Yuwen Chengdu, plus the young and strong faction gradually gaining power in the court, the Han Dynasty is unstoppable!

Cao Cao's blood was boiling, and he realized that he was now a traitor.

When the army heard that Yan Han would destroy Cao's rise, he actually knew it and wanted to stop it at first, but the lucky thoughts in his heart kept stirring his heartstrings.

Yes, that throne is so tempting, so tempting that when a thought occasionally flashed through his mind, he would breathe fast and his face would flush, and he would be so excited that he couldn't help himself.

Now, his beautiful dream is like the smashed moon in the water, dissipated without a trace, and that lucky mentality has been completely wiped out from his heart.

The national fortune of the Han Dynasty is still very prosperous, and the national strength of the Han Dynasty is still very strong.

Not to mention his descendants, Yuan Shao, who was a minister for four generations, Liu Yu, a relative whose reputation spread throughout the Han Dynasty, and Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang Army who controlled the entire court... There have been many heroes in recent years, but in front of the will of the court, they are like bubbles and can't stir up any waves.

Although the existence of these people forced wars to occur on the land of the Han Dynasty, the court army also dealt a heavy blow to the aristocratic families during the expedition.

Before Dong Zhuo's chaos, the aristocratic families united and even the emperor was played around by them.

Now, all the aristocratic families are like rats crossing the street. They either try to escape or try to please the court like dogs... Food, land, population, things that were once taken with great effort, now have to be handed over with a smile on their faces, and it depends on whether the court will accept them.

The times... are changing!

Cao Cao sat by the Huangshui River, his thoughts flying, and he sighed again and again.

He regretted not stopping the rumors in the army. If he had recruited soldiers under the banner of the Han Dynasty, he would have become a member of the court now.

But the soldiers under his command, although they did not explain, all came for the merit of following the dragon.

If he surrendered directly at this time, there would be a high probability of mutiny.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao squatted by the river, washed his face in the moonlight to clear his mind, then looked at the reflection of the moon in the river again, and walked back to the military camp without looking back.

Cao Hong and his men looked at each other, a little confused.

Le Jin followed Cao Cao in small steps, and after considering his words, he asked in a low voice:

"Lord, what should we do next?"

Cao Cao pointed in the direction of Changliu and said:

"Let's set off for Changliu early tomorrow morning. Since the imperial army has entered Xuzhou, it would be rude not to say hello."

Le Jin didn't expect Cao Cao to think about it for a long time and actually go to the tiger mountain knowing there is a tiger:

"If they use that artillery to attack again, what should we do?"

Le Jin, Li Dian and others joined relatively late, and they only heard about how powerful the artillery was, but had never seen it, so they wanted to know what good countermeasures the lord had.

Cao Cao became very talkative at this time:

"We will turn west after saying hello, enter Yuzhou from Pei County, and then drive away Yuan Shu's army little by little, take over the entire Pei State, and stay in Qiao County, our hometown, and never move... It is said that fallen leaves return to their roots. I am a wanderer who travels east and west. If I am buried in a foreign land, it will be quite lonely. It is better to go back to my hometown."

Hearing him talk about life and death so easily, everyone was shocked and speechless.

Cao Ren walked to the back, he knelt down with self-blame, and kowtowed to Cao Cao repeatedly:

"I lost the army, please punish me, my lord!"

Cao Cao stopped, turned around and pulled him up:

"Don't be filial, we are brothers, don't call me lord, go back to the camp and have a good rest, we will go home tomorrow!"

The unrealistic dream was completely shattered, and he should wake up from the dream.

Cao Hong pointed in the direction of Changyi, the seat of Yanzhou, and said:

"The family and the young master are still there. We should withdraw our troops and fight back, right? At the very least, we have to rescue the family."

Cao Cao grinned, his eyes full of ease and carefreeness:

"That General Yuwen stayed near Daye Lake for several days and was not moving forward, just waiting for me to receive the news to withdraw the troops. Once we go back, he will lead his troops to block us on the way back to Changyi, and these tens of thousands of soldiers will be eaten up... Let's go back to Qiao County. Ang'er will take care of Changyi."

Before setting off, Ang'er had already told Ang'er the next route, and he should be very clear about what to choose.

After making this decision, Cao Cao felt a sense of relief in his heart. He no longer had to worry about talking in his sleep and revealing his true feelings being heard by others, nor did he have to worry about his advisers seeing his ambitions.

Have a good sleep tonight, and lead the army back to my hometown tomorrow... I haven't fished by the river in my hometown for many years. This time, I must cast a few more rods. When I get tired of fishing, I will go boating on the river, cook two fresh fish with river water, and then drink a pot of fine wine with Fengxian's poems.

If I can see him again in the future, I must ask him how he wrote so many magnificent poems, each of which is written into my heart.

If there is a confidant of Cao Mengde in the world, Lu Fengxian should be the first!

Back to his tent, Cao Cao looked at the "Viewing the Sea" hanging on the wall, couldn't help reading it silently, then carefully took it down, rolled it up carefully, and put it in a bamboo tube specially used to preserve calligraphy and paintings.

Then he took out another calligraphy, carefully unfolded it, and hung it on the wall.

This calligraphy is relatively simple, with only two sentences:

"The emperor's hegemony is in the midst of laughter and conversation, but it is not as good as a drunken life!"

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

After reading it carefully, Cao Cao said to himself:

"When I first read these two sentences, I thought they were straightforward and without any sense of beauty. But now I read them again, but they have a different taste... I can't wait to get drunk in my hometown, but it's a pity that Fengxian is not here, which is quite unsightly. "

He did not fall asleep immediately, but took out the letter Lu Bu had sent and read it again by the dim oil lamp.

"Meng De, the poems I write are quite complicated. If you can't understand them, it means you don't have enough experience. A big man told me that the more experience you have, the better you can appreciate the beauty of poetry."

"I have already passed the Jianmen Pass, and Yizhou is within easy reach. When I finish my work, I will personally visit you with fine wine, recite poems to you, and get drunk before I stop!"

"The article is a natural one. My master knows it. Meng De, don't worry about composing new words. It's normal that you can't compare with me. After all, I am a genius in Chinese poetry. You must not feel inferior."

"When I was a young man in bright clothes and angry horses, I lived up to my youth and knew it. It's a pity that I was at the border when I was young and have never been to Luoyang. Otherwise, I would have seen you killing powerful people with a five-color stick. You must be very handsome!"

"..."

Looking at the lines of beautiful sentences, Cao Cao's eyes were filled with tears at some point:

"When I was a young boy in bright clothes and angry horses, I lived up to my youth... I lived up to my youth... I'm sorry Fengxian, but in the end I betrayed my youth and betrayed my young self."

Cao Cao cried heartily and wrote down his plan after returning to his hometown on a bamboo slip:

1. Send people to Chenliu to build tombs and erect monuments for Lu Boshe’s family.

2. Write a letter of apology to the public broadcaster, not asking for forgiveness, just asking for peace of mind.

3. Write a letter of apology to Zhang Miao, also seeking peace of mind.

…

After writing the plan, he put on his clothes and lay on the bed, falling into a deep sleep. He didn't get up until daylight came out the next day, yawning.

When he walked out of the camp, he found that he had woken up an hour later than usual. He ate something to fill his stomach, and the army began to pack their bags and prepare to leave.

One night passed, Cao Cao's mentality changed a lot.

Previously, I was only thinking about conquering the world, moving around in the cracks, seizing opportunities to grow and prepare for the Central Plains.

Now that he no longer had this thought, he felt that the chirping of birds was so sweet, the air was so fresh, and he felt like he had regained his five senses, like a living person.

As the army was walking, Cao Cao suddenly smelled a stench, and his good mood was instantly interrupted.

He looked around and saw a lot of corpses piled up in the ditch on the roadside. He turned to Cao Ren and asked:

"Zixiao, you passed by here yesterday and saw these dead people?"

Cao Ren opened his mouth and had to bite the bullet and said:

"Yesterday we passed by and saw the people going to Xuzhou, so we ordered them to go back. They didn't listen and wanted to resist. We had to..."

The sound became quieter and quieter until finally it disappeared.

Similar things happened to Cao Cao's army in the past. Cao Cao felt that this was to promote his hegemony and there was no need to stop it, because dead people can make the people surrender to him more.

The scene in front of him now made him feel particularly dazzling:

"Send a team of troops to bury all the corpses along the way. Anyone who harasses the people in the future will be killed without mercy!"

Without saying a word, Cao Ren took the broken troops gathered last night and left the main army and began to bury the people.

The army continued to move forward, and finally arrived at the official road in the north of Changlu County in the evening.

Along the way, the army encountered hundreds of corpses, all the work of their own tiger and leopard cavalry.

Every time Cao Cao passed by a place where corpses were dumped, he would say sorry several times in a low voice. He once vowed not to apologize for the rest of his life, but today he said sorry countless times.

As we walked, the scout came back to report that there was a corpse hanging from a big tree next to the official road ahead. Judging from the attire, it was General Wen Lie.

Upon hearing Cao Xiu's name, Cao Hong galloped forward with his horse.

Seeing his nephew's body hanging on a tree, which implied that he would die without a burial place, Cao Hong was so filled with hatred that he looked up to the sky and swore to kill all the people in the court.

When Cao Cao came over and saw the hanging Cao Xiu, he was also very angry, but when he saw the wooden sign next to him that read "Kill the people and end up", the anger in his heart was replaced by guilt.

You kill the people along the way, and the imperial army will kill you. This is natural.

It's just that Wen Lie passed away when he was only in his twenties...Cao Cao blamed himself for a while, feeling that it was his failure to restrain his men that caused this series of incidents.

On the wall of Changlu City, Zhang Kai looked at the picture transmitted by the drone and asked Zhang He for instructions:

"General, is it time to drop the bomb? The guy who fucked his grandma finally saw Cao Ah Ma, and he has to blow his shit out of him!"

Zhang He commands the drone operator:

"Fly behind the army and see what the soldiers on both sides of the official road are doing."

Soon, the drone flew forward for a certain distance, and Zhang He saw clearly what Cao Bing was doing. They were actually burying the people who were killed by the tiger and leopard cavalry.

At this time, Cao Cao's men had lowered Cao Xiu's body from the tree. Through another drone, Zhang He saw Cao Cao muttering to the burned tigers and leopards:

"Put the drone down some and listen to what Cao Cao is saying."

The drone landed and Cao Cao's voice came over:

"It's all my fault. I only focused on stimulating your bravery, but forgot to restrain your tyranny, so that I committed such a heinous mistake... I hope you know enough to go and apologize to those people, and I will try my best to help you atone for your sins."

Hearing this, Zhang He said to Zhang Kai:

"Pull back the large drones, don't drop bombs yet, let's see how Cao Cao reacts."

This guy came with a large army, it doesn't look like he's here to fight, but rather to apologize... Is this still the Cao who massacred the people of nine cities and blocked the river?

Zhang He plans to report it and let Chang'an decide.

If they come to fight with real swords and guns, I'm not afraid, but now it's a sad drama, I don't understand it.

Alas, I'm a rough guy, I can't handle this kind of literary style!

Today, I'll update once, I have a headache thinking about the plot, I'll update once a day to slow down. It's the winter solstice, do you eat dumplings there? I wish you all a happy winter solstice!
