    Cao Hong and Shixun are not only relatives - and theoretically speaking, Cao Hong and Cao Baocai are really related by blood, and he and Shixun are closer than Cao Cao and Shixun - they can also 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 when 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 tea 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.  Seeing Shixun return, Cao Hong and Shixiang stood up together - Shixiang got up first and then knelt down, 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 written to Zhongzhong to discuss the Guandong affairs, and ordered Le Wenqian and Yu Wenze to lead the army there, right?" Shi Xunxin said that the news spread really fast.  ¡ª¡ª"It's true. What's the matter?" Cao Hong asked: "Why don't you let me go?" Shi Xun frowned slightly: "General Zilian, who was appointed by the late emperor to assist the government, can he stay away?"  Cao Hong curled his lips and said: "Brother Zixiao has no chance to be with Hong, so he goes to Shuzhong? Fan Yanggong (Cao De) goes to the camp mausoleum, and Hua Ziyu arranges the funeral. They are not in the capital. If Hongfu does not return, Hong Gu  I dare not stay away. Now that Hongfu has returned and the emperor has appointed him as prime minister, why should Hong stay? " Shixun 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 you've 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  He sighed softly: "I have received great kindness from the late emperor. Although we are monarchs 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 it?" Who is rebelling now?  Those 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 want to personally lead the troops there 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 was so kind - "If they don't rebel, the emperor will succeed to the throne  , I will not be held responsible" If the news is not accurate, and some of the four kings did not have comrades in the rebellion, then relying on the status of the vassal king, Wang's uncle (or Wang's brother), and Cao Mao has just ascended the throne, it is inevitable that  He will not be too harsh to avoid being 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 would be able to look after one or two of them, and even if they died, I would let them die with dignity - "In this way, I can repay the late emperor's kindness and satisfy Cao's heart. Hongfu agreed."  Xun twirled his beard with his hand and pondered for a long time - a storyI am wondering whether Cao Hong is sincere or lying. Secondly, I am thinking about similar things and whether there is any solution.  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 yang and the yin will be the yin, so I ask Hongfu to go there." Shi Xun raised the corner of his mouth slightly,  Suddenly he reached out and grabbed Cao Hong's arm: "If I can make them immortal, 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, so he said  Maybe he could really convince the emperor to show mercy 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 go to the memorial, take him with you, and let him make contributions - "A wise man is wise, but he is cautious, and a man who is honest and good at listening will surely win." Cao Hong  He said it was a simple matter and immediately pointed to the sky and the earth and made an oath.  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 not as good as chickens) are all common people's food, and nobles rarely use them for banquets - I didn't expect that this family can make pork, chickens and ducks in various ways, and the taste is delicious.  , no wonder Cao Zilian was amazed.  At the time when the old and the new were changing, state affairs were the most cumbersome. From then on, Shixun devoted himself to the Central Secretariat. As the prime minister, he led the officials and ran the common government, striving for a smooth transition. Of course, there was chaos in Kanto, and he wanted to completely eliminate it.  Stability is ultimately impossible.  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 to respond were Cao Zhi and Cao Kai - Cao Kai was only nine years old, so that was definitely not the little guy's original intention, but he was also coerced into boarding the pirate ship - the two kings attacked 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.Opening up wasteland between and Shaopi.  The current commander of these garrison troops is Bi Fang, the captain of Dian Nong School, Zi Zili, a native of Dongping County. It is still unknown whether Bi Fang led the garrison troops to rebel, or whether Cao Chong incited the garrison troops 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 so-called "Qing Xu Haoba" in history (To be continued.)
