Cao Hong and Shixun are relatives, and theoretically speaking, Cao Hong and Cao Bao are really related by blood. He and Shixun are closer than Cao Cao and Shixun, and they can be regarded as business partners, and their relationship is quite close. But Cao Hong refused to set foot in Shixun's family easily, unless Shixun specially invited him to a banquet. Except for training soldiers and fighting, Cao Zilian devoted all his time to his own business. However, the business partners were in contact with each other and had their own clients coming and going. Cao and Shi always "didn't see the king", so as not to settle the accounts openly, which might damage their harmony. As for family ties, Cao Hong was a martial artist after all, and he had almost nothing to say to Shixun, a civil servant. Therefore, apart from some common language during banquets and banquets, most of them just nodded to each other when they met in court or on the street. So Cao Zilian came to visit today, Shixun couldn't help but frown. Why did he come? He quickly straightened his clothes and walked into the main hall. He saw Cao Hong sitting there, accompanied by his nephew, drinking tea. In fact, according to that guy's habit, even if the owner has not returned, he should heat up a cup of pure rice first. It's just that Cao Cao passed away not long ago. As a minister, he shouldn't drink alcohol, so he could only drink tea. When they saw Shixun returning, Cao Hong and Shixiang stood up together. Shixiang got up first and then knelt down to worship, but Cao Hong only bowed. Shi Xun returned the gift and first apologized: "I don't know that Zi Lian came to visit and I returned late. Don't blame me." Cao Hong said with a smile: "Hong Fu was entrusted by the emperor to guard Zhongshu and take care of state affairs, so he returned late. How dare Hong Fu blame him?" ?" Shi Xun raised his hand, asked Cao Hong to sit down, and then asked, "What's the matter with Zi Lian's visit to me now?" It's a roundabout way with him. Let's get straight to the point. Why are you here today? Cao Hong wiped his beard and said, "I heard that Qing's family has delicious food. I came here to meet you." I'm just here for the meal. Shi Xun shook his head: "There may be delicious food. But I don't want to invite you as an uninvited guest." I don't know why you came. Whether you have good intentions or bad intentions, I am not in the mood to treat you to a meal or drink. Hearing this, Cao Hong felt somewhat embarrassed, so he glanced left and right. Shi Xun understood what he meant. He ordered Shi Fu and Shi De to leave for the time being. "Look at the food, don't let my family be incestuous." When only Shi and Cao were left in the hall, Cao Hong stood up. He picked up the mattress and placed it next to Shixun. When he sat down again, the two were only one foot apart. Then Cao Zilian lowered his voice and asked: "I heard that Hongfu has discussed the Guandong affairs in Zhongshu today, and ordered Le Wenqian and Yu Wenze to lead the army there, is that true?" Shi Xunxin said that the news spread really fast, "It's true What's going on?" Cao Hong asked, "Why don't you let me go?" Shi Xun frowned slightly and said, "General Zi Lian has been appointed by the late Emperor to assist the government. How can he stay away?" Brother Xiao had no choice but to go to Sichuan. Duke Fan Yang (Cao De) went to the cemetery, and Hua Ziyu was not in the capital to arrange the funeral. The emperor has appointed him as prime minister, so why should Hong stay? "Shi Xun asked him, do you really want to lead the army to quell the rebellion among the kings of Guandong? Don't tell me that you haven't fought for a long time and your hands are itchy. I know that you have been busy with your own business recently. "What do you want? Please speak frankly." Cao Hong saw that he could only hide it from Xun, so he had no choice but to gently He sighed: "I have received great favor from the late emperor. Although we are kings and ministers, we are actually brothers. Now that the kings have rebelled, they will die if the power of the imperial court is destroyed overnight Can Hong An bear to see this?" Those who are rebelling now are all They are Cao Cao's sons and grandsons. Once the heavenly soldiers are everywhere, none of them will survive. As a good brother of Cao Cao, how can I bear to see this scene? So I wanted to lead the troops in person and try to save one or two Xun Xin said that he never expected that Cao Zilian seemed to be heartless, but in fact he had such good intentions. "If they don't rebel, the emperor will definitely succeed when he first succeeds." But the responsibility is" If the news is not accurate, and some of the four kings did not have partisans to rebel, then relying on the status of vassal king, Wang Shu (or Wang brother), and Cao Mao has just ascended the throne, he will definitely not Treat him too harshly, so as not to be ridiculed by others. "If it turns out to be true, how can we save him?" Rebellion is a serious crime against the three clans. Even if you are the founding hero and an auxiliary minister, you cannot save him. Cao Hong said: "Even if the kings are guilty, how can their children be held responsible?" That's all for Cao Chong. Cao Pi and Cao Zhi all have children, and most of them are still young. What sin did they have to commit that they should be implicated and die? "Even if the laws of the country cannot be ignored, I also want them to die a good death and not be humiliated by others." Those grandsons and granddaughters of Cao Cao who conspired against the Yi tribe will not be able to escape. When the time comes, they will be tied with ropes and imprisoned with shackles. Even being humiliated by the pawns and jailers is only expected. Cao Hong said that if I were to be a commander, I could look after one or two of them. Even if they died, I would let them die with dignity. "In this way, I can repay the kindness of the late emperor, and I am satisfied with Cao's heart. Hongfu agreed." It is Xunshou. Twisting his beard, he pondered for a long time. Firstly, he was wondering whether Cao Hong was sincere or a lie. Secondly, he was thinking about similar things and whether there was any solution.Law. Cao Hong didn't dare to urge him. He just stared at Shi Xun's expression with a pair of big eyes, unblinking and extremely nervous. After a long time, Shixun put down his hand and asked slowly: "Even Le Wenqian and Yu Wenze were selected by the late emperor and have been loyal to them for a long time. Why are they worried that the two generals will humiliate the king and grandson?" Cao Hong said that people's hearts are separated from each other. , no one can be sure, I still believe in myself the most. "Even if I ridicule him, I am afraid that the yang will be the yin, so I ask Hongfu to do it myself." Shi Xun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and suddenly He reached out and grabbed Cao Hong's arm: "If I can save them from death, how will you repay me?" Cao Hong was shocked at first when he heard this, and then thought about it, Hongfu was unparalleled in wit and eloquence, maybe he could really do it. Convince the emperor to show mercy outside the law and spare the lives of those innocent people! So he said happily: "If Hongfu can comply with my wish, I can grant you a thousand pieces of gold!" Shi Xunxin said that it seems that Cao Zilian is serious. With his stingy personality, he can promise me a thousand pieces of gold with just one mouth Then he smiled Shaking his head: "Why should I ask for a bribe? But Zi Lian also promised me something, and I will try my best to help him." Shi Xun said, I have a disciple, Zhuge Kongming, who has been doing logistics work in the capital. Although he has great ambitions, he has no ambitions. If you have the opportunity to go into battle, if you want to lead your troops on an expedition, please ask him to go to war, take him with you, and let him make contributions. "If a man is wise and cautious, and a man is honest and good at listening, he will definitely win." Cao Hong said this The matter is simple, just point to the sky and the earth and make an oath immediately. The two of them had finished talking about their business, and then Xun patted the table lightly and asked loudly: "Is the meal ready?" In fact, dinner had been prepared for a long time, but Xun didn't call him. They didn't dare to send it to the hall at all. Now after hearing Xun Xun's words, he opened the door and directed the servants to carry the food table and present everything in front of the two of them. In recent years, Shixun has become more and more greedy for food. He taught Gan the general methods and tastes of various delicacies in later generations, and then Gan tried repeatedly to seek "recovery". So what Cao Hong brought in this time were many dishes from later generations that the outside world has never seen or even heard of, such as: roast duck in a hanging oven (the braised oven has not yet been successfully trial-produced), Kung Pao Chicken, Fish-flavored shredded pork (peppers are temporarily replaced with dogwood), Longjing shrimps (of course, there is no Longjing, but another type of Zhejiang New Tea instead) Shixun also deliberately gave these dishes elegant names, such as: Fruity roasted duck, sapphire white pearls (green refers to shallots, white refers to diced chicken), colorful preserved vegetables, spring leaf jade buds, etc. Cao Hong really ate with his mouth watering and was full of praises. While eating, he asked Shixun about the raw materials and methods of each dish. Shixun said that I would send a cook to your house tomorrow to teach him the skills. Cao Hong was overjoyed and gave a thumbs up: "I used to be among the people and heard that immortals could turn stones into golden things. Now when I try your family's delicacies, it's the same." Because cattle, sheep, wild geese, and geese are considered high-grade meat in these days, Pigs, dogs, chickens, and ducks (ducks are worse than chickens) are all common people's food. Nobles rarely use them for banquets. I didn't expect that pork, chickens and ducks can be made in various ways, and the taste is good. No wonder Cao Zilian was shocked. At the time when the old and the new were changing, state affairs were the most cumbersome. From then on, Shixun devoted himself to Zhongshutai. As prime minister, he led the officials and ran the common government, striving for a smooth transition. Of course, there was chaos in Kanto, and if you wanted to achieve complete stability, It's impossible after all. About ten days later, news came to Luoyang one after another, including the angels Chen Jiao and Gao Rou, via carrier pigeons and fast horses. Only then did Cao Weijun and his ministers finally have a generally complete understanding of the chaos in Guandong. The leader of the rebellion was naturally Cao Chong. Probably with the help of Yi Ji and the spy network of Yi Ji's former Shu Han in the Central Plains, he soon occupied the entire Liyang County. The next ones who responded were Cao Zhi and Cao Kai. Cao Kai was only nine years old. This was definitely not the little guy's original intention, but he was also coerced into boarding the pirate ship. The two kings joined forces to attack together, and finally met near Onozawa. But Cao Pi never took action, and it was rumored that he had already submitted a memorial to the emperor to defend himself. The memorial is still on the way, and the specific content can only be speculated. According to the information that has been obtained so far, Cao Chong's troops are only a few thousand. As for Cao Zhi and Cao Kai, the two families together may only have a thousand or zero. This is because the court failed to react for a while, otherwise the two or three county guards would be able to To quell chaos. Naturally, it would be difficult to accomplish anything just by relying on these kittens and puppies. Cao Chong would not be so reckless. The key is: he has many helpers! The first group of helpers were the field soldiers. To be more precise, they were the soldiers of the Twelve Tuns in Jiujiang County that had not yet been abolished, with a total strength of about 3,000. The main body of these troops are the second generation of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. I think that after Cao Cao surrendered the Qingzhou Army, he kept the elite troops for his own use, and most of them were scattered in Yan and Hezhou to farm and farm and fight. Later, when Yuan Shu's forces in Huainan were pacified, he ordered part of the Qingzhou army to go south to open up wasteland between Shouchun and Shaopi. The current commander of these garrison troops is Bi Fang, the captain of Dian Nong School, who is from Zizili and a native of Dongping County. As for Bi Fang, who leads the garrison troopsIt is still unknown whether Cao Chong instigated the rebellion and hijacked Bi Fang. Cao Chong's second group of helpers, on a large scale, also belong to the Qingzhou Army system, that is, Zang Xuangao, the historically known "Qing Xu Haoba" (To be continued.)
