Chapter 139: Be prepared and take precautions before they happen
Xu Ducheng, prison.
"Fight, keep fighting!"
With his cold words, Man Chong seemed to have no fear or sympathy for the leader of the three princes in front of him, Taiwei Yang, whose status soared into the sky.
His eyes were slightly narrowed and cold, as if he was looking at a dying person.
After being tortured again and again, Yang Biao still refused to let go and still refused to admit that he had any connection with the rebel Yuan Shu!
"I am loyal and loyal...ahem...it is true that the traitor Yuan Shu is related to me by marriage, but he wanted to rebel, and I, I didn't know it beforehand! How could I, with my long-standing reputation, join in with that treacherous minister...the treacherous minister and traitor!"
Yang Biao's tone was stumbling, and as he spoke, drops of blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
His whole body had been beaten to a pulp by the whip, and his ability to persist until now was all due to his faith.
"Xu Duling? Are you still going to fight?"
A Ting Wei quickly walked up to Man Chong. In fact, Ting Wei's inquiry was just a routine matter.
Every time he asked questions, this stubborn person who couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes always responded with three words - keep fighting! This time, it's probably no exception, right?
"By the way..." Wei Ting suddenly remembered something and whispered in a low voice. "Xu Duling, Taiwei Yang just mentioned one more thing, saying that he was going to retire and return home!"
Phew...retire and return home!
As soon as this sentence came out, Man Chong's expression seemed to relax, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to signal not to hit him again.
After doing this, he walked directly towards Sikong Mansion without saying a word.
…
…
Xu Ducheng, Sikong Mansion.
At this time, Cao Cao was restless. Following Yi Xiaotian's wishes, he handed Yang Biao over to the upright Man Chong.
But now, he regrets it a little. He is afraid that this ruthless Xu Duling will torture him one by one, and Yang Biao will not be able to bear it... If this guy really dies, then it is not worth the loss!
Huh...huh...
Panting for air, Cao Cao walked around, his heart pounding.
But at this moment.
The sound of footsteps was heard, and Xu Dulingman Chong arrived.
"Lord..."
As soon as he walked into the hall, Man Chong bowed his hands.
"Lord, Yang Biao has been tortured several times, and now he is dead, but he still hasn't confessed any crime! This old guy still has some reputation. If we convict him without getting evidence, we will lose
The people's support, if this is the case, it may not be good for our future development, and I hope my lord will think twice!"
Huo…
These words came out.
Cao Cao was relieved... He had been waiting for Man Chong's words. Now he was punished and deterred. As long as he wasn't tortured to death, he could do anything.
What's more, Xu Du ordered Man Chong to try the case in person. Man Chong's reputation for impartiality was well known to both the government and the public. If he said he was not guilty, then he was really not guilty.
"Since you're not guilty, let's let him go!" Cao Cao ordered, thinking to himself, did the guy take it this time?
"Here!" Man Chong bowed his hands and seemed to have thought of something again. "In prison, Yang Biao told his subordinates that he was no longer worthy of the rank of Taiwei at this old age and hoped that Cao Sikong would allow him to retire and return to his hometown!"
When Cao Cao blurted out this sentence, his body was shaken and his whole body was shaken...
Resigning and quitting my job, that’s great!
This time, the goal was completely achieved.
Sure enough, Man Chong recommended by Yi Xiaotian did not disappoint him, and the job was done just right!
In an instant, Cao Cao thought of what Yi Xiaotian had mentioned - put on your socks first and then your shoes, be your younger brother first and then your master!
With Yang Biao gone, Cao Cao can finally become a master!
Haha... the feeling of being a "master" is really wonderful.
…
…
Yang Biao is released from prison and wants to return to his hometown in Hongnong.
Yang Xiu thanked Empress Yi Xiaotian and went back to his hometown with his father.
Before leaving, his father Yang Biao's hoarse voice did not forget to tell his son, "We owe the shopkeeper of a wine shop our life. When my father recovers from his injury, you must come and repay him!"
Next, the two of them rode a carriage and drove to Hongnong.
Yang Biao's ending seems to have been settled. To be honest, his ending does not seem to be important.
The important thing is that the position of Taiwei is now vacant. At the same time, Situ Zhao Wen also resigned voluntarily for fear of following in the footsteps of Yang Biao. Now, the three princes who pose the greatest threat to Cao Cao in the court are no longer a problem.
And Cao Cao also began his drastic personnel adjustments in the court. In the next month, Cao Cao placed his people in important positions.
Both the emperor and the imperial court were completely ignored. It seemed that they only had dignity left.
At the same time, the proud Cao Cao began to mobilize his troops, and his spearhead was directed at Zhang Xiu of Wancheng...
In Cao Cao's view.
As Brother Yi said, it is time for the three armies to press forward and accept his surrender.
Of course, Cao Cao became more and more interested in the beauty Mrs. Zou, who knew the general situation and took the overall situation into consideration, and in Jia Xu, who even Brother Yi valued so much!
Especially Mrs. Zou.
For some reason, when he thought of her, Cao Cao's heart was particularly throbbing. This was probably the so-called "wife" plot!
…
…
There is a private school on the outskirts of Xudu.
"The student came here specially to say goodbye to Mr...."
The one who was bowing respectfully was Cao Ang, the eldest son of Cao Cao.
Under Cao Cao's instruction and because of the Yang Biao incident, I saw the power of my husband Yi Xiaotian.
Today, Cao Ang, no matter whether there is a private school or courses, he will come to learn from Yi Xiaotian and ask for advice. Even if Yi Xiaotian has no time, Cao Ang will follow him and do what he can.
Yi Xiaotian also made an exception and accepted him, Sima Yi, and Yang Xiu as closed disciples.
To be honest, among the three disciples, Yi Xiaotian liked the benevolent, filial and kind-hearted Cao Ang the most.
When you interact with Cao Ang, you will have a sense of déjà vu with "less routine and more sincerity".
"Are you going to go out with the army this time?" Yi Xiaotian asked...
"My father asked me, my second disciple Huan, and my cousin Anmin to go with the army this time. He said he wanted us to see the real battlefield." Cao Ang replied...
The Zihuan in his words is Cao Pi, Cao Cao's second son, and Anmin is Cao Cao's nephew Cao Anmin...
This year, Cao Pi was only eleven years old!
"That's it!" Yi Xiaotian thought thoughtfully.
For some reason, his mind always recalled the tragedy of the Battle of Wancheng in history...
Although he used his brother's words to remind Cao Cao this time, telling him to stay away from women and be careful about Jia Xu, he didn't know why, but his eyelids kept twitching.
"Zixiu (Cao Ang's brand name), sir, I have a few words for you now. You must remember them clearly."
Yi Xiaotian was still worried. He pulled Cao Ang to his side and lowered his voice to remind him. "First of all, after entering Wancheng, no matter what, you must send someone to keep an eye on Zhang Xiu's military advisor - Jia Xu!"
"Jia Xu?" Cao Ang repeated the name... "Sir? Why are you keeping an eye on him?"
"I can't explain it in one or two sentences." Facing Cao Ang's question, Yi Xiaotian waved his hand and did not bother to explain too much. "Just do as I say, sir. There is a reason for this!"
Hearing this, Cao Ang nodded...
Seeing him like this, Yi Xiaotian continued to remind him. "If there is any movement from Jia Xu or any movement from Zhang Xiu's army, don't think so much and don't ask anyone for instructions. Immediately ride your horse to find your father and flee Wancheng directly."
!”
At this point, Yi Xiaotian seemed to feel that something was missing.
"By the way, no matter it is day or night, you must have three fast horses by your side, just in case something unexpected happens..."
"Also, you must keep an eye on Dian Wei, the leader of the Tiger Army. No matter what the circumstances, you must not let him get drunk and drink too much, let alone let his halberds leave his side!"
Yi Xiaotian's tone was extremely serious, and he detailed all the threats he could think of...
In case, the story really goes according to historical development, and Wancheng surrenders and rebels again, then the first thing is to have horses. With horses, there is hope of escape.
Historically, Cao Ang and Cao Anmin gave their horses to Cao Cao, which meant they gave their hope of survival to Cao Cao.
Secondly, Dian Wei's combat effectiveness must be maximized.
According to historical records, in this battle, Cao's army was attacked by surprise, Dian Wei was still drunk, and his double halberds were even stolen.
Even so, with a pair of iron fists, he was able to stop hundreds of thieves. If he was awake and armed with a weapon, he could really lead Cao Cao to fight a bloody path and save as much as possible.
loss.
After giving these instructions, Yi Xiaotian took a long breath...
To be prepared and take precautions before they happen, that's all he can do.
