Gongsun Zan was a man with great frontier pride. Many people admired this kind of man very much, and so did Cao Zhi. However, Cao Zhi could not help but regret that the defeat of Gongsun Zan's boundary bridge soon after, ruined the life of such a heroic man.
While Cao Zhi was feeling emotional, he also felt vaguely sorry for Gongsun Zan. Wasn't he letting Liu Bei poach him? I hope Gongsun Zan was not ruined because of his despicable behavior.
Regardless of feeling sad or feeling guilty, Cao Zhi still didn't forget the important purpose of his trip. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and found the goal. Liu Bei was still standing at the end, but his eyes were so eager. The two of them briefly touched their eyes and turned away.
.Although the glance was just a touch, for Le Jin, who accompanied Cao Zhi to bid farewell, this hint was enough.
Taking advantage of the sad moment when Cao Zhi and Gongsun Zan were parting, Le Jin walked out of the tent and pretended to prepare horses for Cao Zhi. After a while, the same strong man with long flowing beard also walked out, as if he couldn't stand the sad atmosphere in the tent.
, prepare to return to the camp to rest.
The two people naturally passed each other, and the soldiers on guard did not notice any abnormal behavior of the two people. However, when the two people passed each other, they both squeezed the things in their hands and exchanged them, and the emotions flashed on their faces.
An unnoticed smile.
Gongsun Zan personally escorted Cao Zhi out of the tent and accompanied Cao Zhi to the gate of the camp. At Cao Zhi's repeated request, Gongsun Zan stopped there and waved goodbye. When Cao Zhi stepped out of the tent, he naturally glanced at his entourage and said,
After receiving the affirmation, he nodded slightly backward and mounted his horse happily.
Cao Cao specifically asked to go to Mengjin on his return trip. A group of people arrived at Mengjin Ferry on the Yellow River. Cao Cao had a headache and wore a brown scarf under his belt. Cao Cao insisted on going to the river embankment to have a look. The weather had warmed up slightly and the river ice had begun to melt.
, the spring water hit the river ice, and the river ice collided with each other. Sometimes it stood up high, like a mountain, and suddenly fell down, disappearing without a trace immediately with the rotating turbulence. Looking at the rushing water, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh:
"Isn't that what heroes are like!"
Cao Zhi accompanied Cao Cao back to Qiao County, while his sister-in-law Ding stayed in her old house in Qiao County. Cao Cao's concubine Bian in Chenliu was already pregnant and about to give birth.
Cao Zhi stayed in Qiao County for a while, and Hua Tuo also rushed back to Qiao County dozens of days later. Hua Tuo was worthy of being called Hua Tuo. After taking a few decoctions, Cao Cao's head wind was cured. During this period, Cao Zhi also
After receiving Mi Heng's reply and the first batch of explosives, Mi Heng and his plan to support Cao Zhi, he himself is a person who is afraid of the world being unstable.
Seeing that Cao Cao was fine, Cao Zhi said goodbye to Cao Cao and said he was returning to Yangzhou to resume his life. In Qiao County, Cao Cao was accompanied by Xia Houyuan, Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong. These "old guys" were all Cao Zhi's brothers, and Cao Zhi did not want to take them with him.
They were in trouble around him, so he left them in Qiao County and let them cultivate for a period of time. Le Jin, Li Dian, Xu Zhu, and Cao An were all taken by Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhi left some of the military supplies to provide for them.
Cao Cao continued to recruit troops.
Cao Zhi, who had left Cao Cao's control, was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins. He led his troops to the south, and then suddenly changed course. Instead of going straight to Liyang, he went to the Lujiang River first.
#########In April of the third year of Chuping, Han Xian suffered a serious illness after traveling a long distance and sleeping in the open in Chang'an. Half a month later, Emperor Xian was cured of the illness. He had just recovered.
Meet with ministers at Weiyang Palace.
Today, Emperor Xian came to Chang'an for his first court visit, but he did not see Dong Zhuo. At this time, Emperor Xian was surprised and asked the officials, "Where has Prime Minister Dong gone?"
The submissive ministers looked at each other, but no one dared to stand up and reply. Finally, Situ Wang Yun stood up and answered: "Prime Minister Dong has gone to Yiwu."
"Going to Xiwu?"
...
When Emperor Xian learned that Dong Zhuo was building his own palace in Xiwu, he was so angry that he trembled with anger. The country was in crisis and the treasury was empty. This bandit built a palace at this time. Looking at the Weiyang Palace where his family was almost bare, he couldn't help but
lament!
But it was not all bad. At least Emperor Xian no longer had to see the bandit who frightened him. Emperor Xian Liu Xie used his precocious "kingly spirit" to attract Dong Zhuo's attention and win over him.
Liu Xie lost his mother (namely Wang Meiren) when he was a child, and lived in a dangerous palace environment, so that the child learned some skills to protect himself without any teacher. However, now every time in front of Dong Zhuo, he always
It was due to excessive nervousness for no reason that he often had incontinence of urine, which made the smell of urine often emit from under the dragon robe. The little emperor Liu Xie, who was only thirteen years old, did not dare to say anything even if his inner clothes were wet.
He tightened his legs, stared at Dong Zhuo with a shy face, and made a dull and silly smile.
And this pitiful appearance made the loyal ministers see it, and their hearts felt like a knife. Only one person was indifferent, and he was Situ Wang Yun. Wang Yun was not unloyal to the emperor and patriotic, but he had another side.
A lot of thinking and planning.
Dong Zhuo was so anxious to separate from Emperor Xian that he had his own thoughts and difficulties. Seeing that the governors and prefects who opposed him all had their own plans, Dong Zhuo had nothing to fear. They actually took Luoyang, Hulao Pass, and Si
Shuiguan surrendered and retreated to Suanzao. Haha! What a rebel army, a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. God is really helping me. He sent several generals to take over the defense of these dangerous points.
Dong Zhuo, who regarded himself as safe, thought of pleasure again. He could no longer be satisfied with enjoying the same ostentation as the emperor, living in the palace and other benefits. He first asked Emperor Xian for an order to be appointed as the Grand Master. At this time, Dong Zhuo had gathered the Prime Minister, the Grand Lieutenant, and Sikong Yu.
Dong Zhuo was a man with great power, and he basically had the final say in government affairs. Dong Zhuo's name was simply a synonym for "imperial court", but for some reason at this time, he was greedy for these false names.
In mid-April, Dong Zhuo forcefully demanded that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty address him as "Shangfu". He believed that he was the emperor's father. He also named his younger brother and nephews generals and captains, including those who had just been born in his family.
Their children were also given the title of marquis. Now everyone in their family is a high-ranking official. It can be said that "when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."
But Dong Zhuo also has difficulties. He is a man, a man with strong sexual desire, or he once was, but now he is losing his right to exercise men's pleasure, and the elixir given to him by Wang Yun is losing its effect.
It had some effect at first, but now the effect is getting worse and worse. It has almost no effect. Looking at the groups of beauties around him, he has desire, but no "ability".
This drove him into madness. When Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang, he was appointed to kill officials. After arriving in Chang'an, he became even more domineering and neurotic. Civil and military officials lost their heads if they spoke carelessly or made a wrong look, which offended him.
Dong Zhuo can only vent himself when killing people. If this continues, the secrets he knows will one day be discovered. Although he occupies the harem and acts meticulously, his real master still lives in the palace - the emperor.
With an airtight wall, his secret will be discovered sooner or later.
Dong Zhuo could not tolerate his ulterior secrets being known to others. He wanted people to continue to be afraid of him, and he would never allow anyone to despise him. People would be afraid of a bloodthirsty wolf, but they would not be afraid of a wolf that has lost its sex.
