"The general's carriage is here! How dare you, rat!"
There was chaos on the long street.
Cao Cao has encountered assassinations no less than ten times. Large and small, more or less, the guards around Cao Cao have even gotten used to it, so they react quickly, without any panic or haste like a sudden attack.
In the shield wall, Cao Cao stood under the protection of Dian Wei and Cao Hong, gritting his teeth.
Of course, it is impossible for all those who assassinated Cao Cao to do so for the so-called righteousness of the court and the public spirit of the country, but basically without exception, they would yell and curse Cao Cao as a national traitor, a traitor, and an eunuch, and then everyone would punish him.
…
Every time he shouted like this, it was like opening up the scars in Cao Cao's heart. He not only sprinkled a handful of salt, but also made a pee, which was smelly and disgusting...
Every time this happens, Cao Cao wants to ask, "Is your wife very beautiful?"
Uh, wrong.
The question should be, "Who is more beautiful, you or your wife?"
It doesn’t seem right. I probably want to ask, “Would a real man rather have sex?”
Um……
The smell seems a bit strange, that's all, that's basically what it means.
Generally speaking, the people who come to assassinate Cao Cao are basically one-minded and not very bright, but because of this, these people will fight to the death and not retreat. They think that even if they die, it is called a sacrifice, because they are for
The Great Han Dynasty was for the people of the world, for the morality of chivalrous people, etc...
But in reality, it's just the same thing.
Because the act of assassination itself is not that glorious.
Even if ordinary little rangers have the courage, they cannot enter Cao Cao's defense circle. However, the leader of the big rangers, who has some reputation and can organize manpower and strength, is not willing to put down the wine in his hand and push away the beautiful woman in his arms.
, so basically speaking, those who assassinated Cao Cao were all guys who were neither above nor below, and were then used as guns.
The two sides suddenly fought. Cao Cao was surrounded by Cao Hong, who was thick-skinned and thick-skinned, and Dian Wei, who had always been by Cao Cao's side. In addition, the Cao family's descendants were the guards. They were well-trained and could be chopped down with swords and guns.
Blood flew everywhere, and the "righteous men" who came to assassinate were retreating...
Cao Cao rolled his eyes, then stretched out a hand, pulled out an arrow from the shield that Cao Hong was holding, then clamped it under his arm in front of Cao Hong, and then winked at Cao Hong.
, that is, falling backwards!
_(:з ∠)_
o_O?!
Cao Hong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly shouted: "My lord is injured! He is injured!"
Suddenly the scene was in chaos!
There were only a few assassins left. Seeing that they had "accomplished" the set goal, they naturally had no reason to continue fighting to the death, and they dispersed one after another...
Cao Cao made some noise through his teeth, "Send someone to follow..."
The shield soldiers swarmed in, surrounded Cao Cao's carriage tightly, and then hurriedly drove into the general's mansion...
In the distance on the cross street, someone opened the window and looked out.
"Do you see clearly?"
"I didn't see clearly... I just saw him falling..."
"Well done! Dead?"
"I don't know...probably injured..."
"Now let's go quickly! If we go to the west, the city will definitely be closed... Hurry, hurry!"
……┴┴︵╰(‵□′)╯︵┴┴……
In a sense, Zang Ba is actually a man who is aware of current affairs and self-aware. Although he has gained some benefits by relying on the power of the Taishan Army, he is still doing well, and he can be considered prosperous on one-third of an acre.
He was aroused, but his courage did not become great because of this, and he even touched some red lines.
Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and even Chen Gui, Chen Deng, etc., Zang Ba was somewhat lacking in confidence when facing these people. The reason for his lack of confidence was that Zang Ba knew the hypocrisy of these people, despite his usual smiles.
, but in fact, if it really angers these guys who eat meat but don’t spit out bones...
In addition, Zang Ba also knows that he comes from a somewhat humble background. It is not possible to be careless when dealing with people who are accustomed to scheming. It is precisely because of this self-knowledge that Zang Ba has been walking relatively smoothly until he met
Arrived at Henry Zhang.
When Zang Ba met Zhang Xuan, he actually had a little thought of making one more friend and finding another way out. Zang Ba might not act according to Zhang Xuan's ideas, but it does not prevent him from leaving some scenes and favors. In certain situations in the future, Zang Ba
Down, it can be used.
It's a pity that Henry Zhang didn't come with good intentions to pave a way for Zang Ba. On the contrary, he tried to block Zang Ba's path!
Zang Ba's guards knocked away Henry Zhang's men, and then Zang Ba rushed into the courtyard, straight into the hall, and then stared at Henry Zhang.
Henry Zhang put down the tea cup, then said with a smile: "Today the snow has stopped, so we have distinguished guests coming. It's a great honor..."
Zang Ba sneered, "Zhang Langjun is so elegant! May I ask where the twenty people under Zhang Langjun went?"
Henry Zhang stood up, still with a smile on his face, then walked to the window and looked out the window. Outside the window was a plum blossom, which was a bit bright in the snow, like blood, "I went hunting."
...』
"Hunting?" Zang Ba sneered, "Zhang Langjun thinks that certain ears and eyes are blocked?"
"A harsh government is stronger than a tiger..." Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "If the people cannot survive, they will hunt tigers to survive. What's wrong with that?"
Zang Ba opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"The tiger bear is ferocious..." Zhang Xuan said, "If you are not careful, death or injury is normal, and General Zang does not need to worry about it..."
Henry Zhang turned around and looked at Zang Ba, "I also hit it off with General Zang, and I deeply admire General Zang's way of life. If Qingxu didn't have General Zang, he would have countless innocent souls! But in this world,
There are many problems, some of which are solvable, and some of which are unsolvable... When I am among them, I often hate myself for being incompetent... General Zang is now in power, with a large army on display. Although he is loved by Duke Cao, he is also deeply jealous of him...
…Even if General Zang is as safe as a virgin, can he avoid being hated?”
"What's more, what can we do?" Zhang Xuan laughed and said, "Nowadays, caravans come and go frequently, there are many bandits on the road, and the goods transported are valuable, why are there no guards? With guards, those who were killed or injured on the way were buried in the deep streams of the mountains.
What's so strange among them? What's more, if this Xiliang horse is not sold to someone, where will it be sold? Haha, is it possible to return to General Guanzhong?"
Henry Zhang pointed out the window, "General Zang, life is too short to be spent like this. Even if it is freezing cold, you still have to seize the day..."
"That's nonsense!" Zang Ba said angrily, and then walked away.
Zang Ba couldn't say much about other things, but Zhang Xuan was right about one thing. Now Jiangdong is indeed the most important purchaser of war horses under Cao Cao's rule. Although Cao Cao himself lacked war horses, Jiangdong gave too many.
…
In the past, Jiangdong could still trade some war horses with Guanzhong through the Jingzhou Line, but now it is no longer available.
Cao Cao had enmity with Sun Quan, but not with Jiangdong Qian.
A war is a war, and a business is a business.
During the Three Kingdoms period, this kind of situation was not unusual. Even in the later period, when the relationship between the various families was tense, there was no ban on the exchange of caravans. Guan Erye's Jingzhou was borrowed by Lu Meng from an unknown source.
In white long clothes, with two bare hairy legs, he sneaked into the beacon tower...
Because this world is not only the world of Liu Xie, nor is it the world of Cao Cao, Fei, Qian, and Sun Quan, there are also so many big noble families. As long as these big noble families have needs and want to purchase goods, then the caravan will not be able to do so.
cut off……
……(*≧∪≦)……
General Cao Cao was assassinated in the street. Emperor Liu Xie was furious when he found out. He ordered Man Chong, the magistrate of Xu County, to be removed from his post and ordered him to find the culprit.
For a time, the situation inside and outside Xu County changed. The nine gates were blocked almost simultaneously, soldiers were on guard in the streets, and door-to-door inspections were carried out in every market place. The atmosphere in Xu County was extremely tense.
Figures of people in twos and threes bumped into each other in the dim light.
"died?"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"If you don't kill the tiger, you will suffer from it... What a pity, what a pity!"
"Who is the righteous person who did this?"
"I haven't heard any news..."
"Nowadays, the limelight is very tight, so it is better to be careful..."
Several people nodded, and then dispersed under the cover of the shadows, like a group of hyenas, smelling the smell of decay and blood, they couldn't help but gather together and drool, but facing the still alive people
The tiger and leopard did not have the guts to go up and deliver the final blow, so they could only linger in the outer circle, waiting...
……(｀へ′)(`З’)(‵□′)……
Man Chong walked out of the palace with a very ugly face.
He is the magistrate of Xu County.
Although most of the military command and local defense are beyond Man Chong's control, they are still indispensable when faced with challenges.
Man Chong was spat on by the emperor Liu Xie, but he couldn't defend himself with a word. He could only keep cutting off his money to apologize, and went to tell the emperor that the soldiers around Xu County were all Cao's Xiahou clan under Cao Cao's rule.
Commander, should you go to them if there is a problem? Or is it true that there are still two generals in the field who should also bear some responsibility? Or drag Xun Yu into the water, saying that in fact most of the things happened to Xun Yu
He is doing it and Man Chong doesn’t know anything?
It is said that Cao Cao was "severely injured", sometimes conscious, sometimes comatose, and he was heavily protected in the general's office, fearing that even a flying bird would be shot down. Only a few core figures of the Cao family and the Xiahou family
Only then could he enter the inner room. Even Xun Yu couldn't go in to visit, let alone Man Chong these people.
Not seeing Cao Cao, and then having Liu Xie's heavy pressure on his head, Man Chong thought about it and arrived at the Chancellor's Desk.
Before reaching the Chancellor's Desk, I heard a group of people near the Chancellor's Desk, either with sad faces, feeling sorry for Cao Cao's injury, or angry demands to arrest the culprit behind the scenes, or expressing that their lives were at stake here.
In autumn, er, winter, I am willing to share the worries of the general...
It seems that all aspects of life can be found here.
Man Chong lowered his eyelids and was about to pass through the crowd when he suddenly heard someone next to him shout: "Where is Bonin going?!"
Man Chong raised his eyes, but it was Zhong Yao.
"What advice does Yuan Chang have?" Man Chong asked.
Zhong Yao smiled and said, "I dare not give you advice...but I wonder if Boning, as the magistrate of Xu County, knew how the thieves got into the city?"
Man Chong's face remained the same, but his heart was like boiling water, and every bubble was a curse. Zhong Yao seemed to be just asking a simple question, as if he was asking some questions about this incident, but in fact
This is a typical dilemma question. No matter how Man Chong answers, he will face severe consequences.
From a certain perspective, there is some overlap in the self-positioning of Zhong Yao and Man Chong, especially in the field of law. Zhong Yao is also very knowledgeable. In history, he later served as the Minister of Dali Temple and was in charge of the internal laws of the Wei State.
Litigation matters clearly show his attainments in this aspect.
Man Chong was able to gain Cao Cao's favor not only because of his personal abilities, but more importantly because Man Chong was from a lower background, and his relationship with many noblemen was not as complicated as Zhong Yao's, so in comparison
It is said that Cao Cao is currently more willing to use Man Chong to be in charge of the judicial and criminal prisons instead of Zhong Yao.
It can also be seen from here that the attitude of Cao Wei's employment system changed in the early and late stages...
Of course, this is a story for another day.
Now, Zhong Yao's meaning is very clear. You are a guy who is occupying a latrine and can't poop. If you give up your seat as soon as possible, you can still save some face. If you get to the back, hum...
Man Chong snorted, "This matter is of great importance. Yuan Chang is spying on it in public. What do you want to do?"
Zhong Yao changed his color and said: "Man Bo would rather not spit on anyone! He is just concerned, how can he say that he is spying?!"
Man Chong said: "Since it's not spying, please get out of the way! Could it be that Yuan Chang wants to stop Yu on purpose?"
"Haha..." Zhong Yao laughed a few times, and then moved out of the way, "How dare you block it? That's fine, I'm just waiting for Boning to investigate the case and find out the truth..."
After saying that, Zhong Yao stepped aside and just sneered with Han Bin and others.
Man Chong glanced at it silently, and then moved forward. At a certain moment in Man Chong's heart, he had no idea of framing Zhong Yao for revenge, but he soon gave it up.
Zhongyao Zhong's surname was Yingchuan, and he had a good relationship with Xun Yu and others. He was promoted to be Xiaolian very early, and was soon transferred from Shangshulangwai to Yanglingling. Later, he resigned due to illness and recovered.
After that, he was immediately recruited by the three mansions to serve as Tingweizheng and Huangmen Shilang...
Can ordinary people get such treatment? Oh, the problem is still there after the illness is over, but when you come back from recuperation, the problem is even bigger?
At the same time, Zhong Yao still has the aura of meritorious service for persuading Liu Xie to come all the way east...
When the emperor Liu Xie was in Chang'an, he was frequently teased by Zhong Yao. Even when he was in Fei's hiding place, Zhong Yao often persuaded the emperor to return in private. Therefore, from a certain perspective, Zhong Yao was
At present, Cao Cao is one of the important heroes who can hold the emperor hostage, so Zhong Yao is not someone who Man Chong can just drag on the street and mess around with whomever he wants.
The outside of the Shangshu Terrace was bustling with activity, but inside the Shangshu Terrace it was completely the opposite.
Under such a major incident, all the officials in the Chancery, no matter how big or small, were cautious and walked on thin ice. Even the normal handover of work was done as low as possible, lest the sound would be too loud, and then
He was treated as a punching bag.
In the face of big events, big people think about how to profit from it, but little people think about how to protect themselves...
Man Chong held his head high and walked through the corridor without squinting, and arrived at the Government Affairs Hall.
"Bo Ning came just in time..."
Xun Yu, who was in the Government Affairs Hall, raised his head and greeted, "Come here, I have something to talk to you about..."
Man Chong's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Please give me your instructions..."
Xun Yu waved his hand and motioned to the seat next to him, "Sit down first."
Man Chong was stunned for a moment, nodded, then walked to the seat next to him, took a long breath, then sat down calmly, and also straightened his clothes...
Xun Yu nodded slowly and showed a little smile.
"More orders, sir." Man Chong raised his hands and said to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu smiled.
Xun Yu has been very busy these days. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, whether it is the evaluation of officials or the additional military pay for soldiers in the New Year, it is a very troublesome issue. Moreover, with the addition of the Jingzhou faction, the original
The complex gentry group under Cao Cao's rule once again expanded. Although to a certain extent it also represented an increase in the number of available officials, it also required the expenditure of official ranks and balancing the size of the positions.
More energy.
To put it simply, the nobles in Jingzhou, like the nobles in Jizhou, will inevitably face the situation of retreating from the front line and handing over the power they were originally in charge of. There will inevitably be a lot of resentment and dissatisfaction.
Then……
If you have grievances, you will naturally have to vent them.
Sometimes it is reasonable to do impulsive things.
For example, assassinate Cao Cao.
Is this inference smooth?
Xun Yu also felt that it was very smooth, but similarly, he also felt that the smoother things went, the more likely they were to have problems. It was even like diarrhea, the smoother things went, the greater the problems.
"Weapons from the scene have been collected..." Xun Yu said slowly, "Bo Ning can you guess where it came from?"
"Hussars?" Man Chong blurted out.
Xun Yu nodded.
Not surprisingly.
Because the hussar general's craftsmanship is world-class, many people are naturally seeking after him and spending a lot of money to buy it. After all, in troubled times, anyone with a little bit of savvy knows that only by possessing exquisite and strong armor can he be able to defend his country.
Money, so there are a lot of hussar weapons circulating in the market.
Therefore, to assassinate Cao Cao, the cavalry general Fei Qian had the conditions, sufficient motivation, and evidence. However, Xun Yu and Man Chong looked at each other and felt that the possibility was not very high.
It's not that Xun Yu and Man Chong believed in Fei Qian's character, but that Xun Yu and Man Chong believed in Fei Qian's reputation.
For an ordinary person, there may be a wrong name, but there is usually no wrong nickname. After so many years, Fei Qian has successfully established an upright and positive image. If he really wants to kill Cao Cao, then he will definitely be
On the battlefield, wouldn't using such despicable assassination methods destroy Fei Qian's long-standing reputation?
If it is said that Fei Qian has been cornered and cannot gain an advantage on the battlefield, and there is no other good way except assassination, then it is somewhat understandable that Fei Qian would not hesitate to use his reputation in exchange for victory. But now, could Fei Qian's cavalry suddenly
Are your feet weak?
So is it necessary for Fei Qian to risk his own reputation and do an assassination that is unlikely to succeed?
"Is there anyone alive?" Man Chong asked with some hope.
Xun Yu slowly shook his head, "They are all dead soldiers. Even if they were injured, they would kill themselves with a short dagger... And when they cut off their arms, the injuries were too severe..."
"..." Man Chong was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's not difficult to raise only one dead soldier. Maybe ordinary people can do it with a meal, but it takes so many dead soldiers..."
Xun Yu nodded and said: "Bo Ning is indeed smart and sharp, with clear thinking... However, this is also a matter of concern..."
Man Chong glanced at Xun Yu, and then couldn't help but fell silent again.
