In the second year of Chuping, on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, on the tenth day after Cao Zhi's wedding, Cao Cao decided to return. Three days later, he set off and led his troops to Hanoi to join Yuan Shao. The headquarters of the "Kwantung Alliance" was there. Yuan Shao
It was decided to gather troops from all walks of life and set off to attack Dong Zhuo soon.
As soon as Cao Cao left, he naturally had to take the three or four thousand troops with him. His hometown in Qiao County suddenly felt extremely empty, and Cao Cao was worried. The world is so chaotic now, and the Black Mountain Army may come to retaliate at any time. Cao Cao decided to let his father and his family go to Langye County
A friend stayed at his house temporarily. This friend's name was Zhao Yu, who served as a chariot under Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou. Zhao Yu had a manor near the sea in Langye. It was remote and there were no yellow turban thieves to make trouble. Jingzhi
It is overflowing and suitable for the elderly to recuperate.
Along the way, Cao Zhi led 300 troops to escort them all the way to Langye. After arriving, Cao Zhi rushed back to Hanoi to meet up with Cao Cao.
Most of the generals went to Hanoi with Cao Cao. The ones accompanying Cao Zhi were Xu Chu and Mi Heng, plus a bookboy Cao An. Only Cao Zhi could manage the pair of treasures Xu Chu and Mi Heng, and Cao Cao did not like them. Besides, this
The two of them were determined to vote for Cao Zhi.
Hua Tuo also went to Langye with Cao Song to take care of Cao Song's condition. He was also very willing to go with him, and he could discuss medical theory with Cao Zhi along the way. Since Cao Song's last stroke, Cao Zhi has always spoken out about medical theory.
Astonishing, Hua Tuo was greatly inspired by many medical experiences. After that, he regarded Cao Zhi as a confidant and would talk to Cao Zhi about medical theory when he had time.
There were still a few months before the New Year. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Cao Mansion in Qiao County moved his family. Cao Song, his second wife and five concubines, and Ding were in three or four carriages. Cao Zhi, Xu Chu, Ren Hongchang,
Cao An divided the cavalry, and Cao Zhi personally selected the 300 escorts. Cao Zhi mainly selected the former Tiger Guards and some of the bandits brought over by Xu Chu, and mixed the two groups. These 300 people were all very skilled, and
They all have certain combat experience. Moreover, with such a mixed team, they can learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses, and keep each other in check, which makes them much safer.
Ren Hongchang insisted on riding a horse with Cao Zhi. Young people always yearn for freedom and a romantic life. Ren Hongchang felt that riding in a car was too depressing and insisted on riding a horse. Cao Zhi couldn't resist him, so he had to let her go.
Mi Heng is a scholar, and a scholar should naturally ride in a car to look polite. This boy likes to show off like this. Cao Zhi arranged for him and Hua Tuo to ride in the same car.
Cao Song had a lot of possessions, including equipment and equipment, and a fleet of more than a hundred vehicles.
Cao Zhi seized the capital and used the remaining property to give to Cao Cao for military supplies. Now that Cao Cao has more troops and horses, there are more places where money can be used. Raising an army is no more expensive than raising a family.
Much.
Cao Zhi's idea is very simple. Only if Cao Cao is good can he follow suit.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, groups of carriages and horses marched together with astonishing momentum. The relocation of the Cao Mansion was no less than the relocation of a small county town.
Cao Cao was going to Hanoi. He could still walk with his father for the first part of the way, until they reached the bank of the Yellow River, and then they parted ways. Cao Cao crossed the Yellow River north and rushed to Hanoi. Cao Zhi continued southward via Yangzhou and headed for Langye.
Before breaking up, Cao Zhi advised Cao Cao to pay more attention to himself. It is everyone's business to fight against Dong Zhuo. Don't act out of loyalty and be greedy for success. He became Yuan Shao's vanguard.
I don't know how much Cao Cao heard. He was concerned about the safety of Langxie's family on the way. After saying "Oh, oh" to Cao Zhi twice, he repeatedly told Cao Zhi to be careful on the road.
Cao Zhi vaguely remembered that the first time Cao Cao tried to challenge Dong Zhuo, he didn't get any good results. He couldn't remember exactly how. He could only advise Cao Cao to abide by the "gold mean", and it wouldn't be a big mistake to think about it.
When Cao Zhi was having trouble sleeping and eating because of Cao Cao's trip to beg Dong, there was also someone in the luxurious palace in Luoyang who was secretly feeling sad. He was an important figure on the stage of the Three Kingdoms - Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo's sad story is hidden from others. Ever since that important part was injured by Cao Zhi three months ago, he has never been "standing up" in that area. The injury has already healed, and the doctor who treated him has
He was also killed. Very few people knew about it that day. But for some reason, there was still no response from that place. The more anxious I became, the heavier my psychological burden became.
Due to this reason, Dong Zhuo's temperament has become extremely violent recently. He beat and cursed people at every turn, and even beheaded the princes and ministers if he didn't like them at all.
On this day, Dong Zhuo went out to inspect Hengmen. All the officials were afraid of Dong Zhuo and came to greet him after hearing the news. Dong Zhuo looked at the only officials and felt very good. He just wanted others to be afraid of him. After this feeling was hurt, he needed to get more and more.
The stronger the feeling. At this time, a group of soldiers and officials who were recruiting people for peace and surrender from the north arrived in Beijing. Dong Zhuo immediately asked to see them in person. Then these people were brought to Dong Zhuo. One of the soldiers was not sure whether he was out of curiosity or for other reasons.
, secretly raised his head and glanced at Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo noticed it, he suspected that the man saw something was wrong with him, and shouted hysterically, "What are you looking at?" and immediately ordered someone to dig out the man's eyes.
Seeing such a cruel thing, the others made a few noises, which unknowingly hit Dong Zhuo's nerves. He then ordered those people to chop off their hands or feet. Finally, Dong Zhuo came forward with his own knife and chopped them off.
After picking up the heads of several people, Fangjue calmed down some of the anger in his heart.
The sound of wailing shook the sky, and all the officials present were so frightened that some of them even peed their pants. No one dared to look directly at Dong Zhuo while trembling.
Dong Zhuo, who had regained some confidence, laughed happily and led everyone back to the palace.
Dong Zhuo, who returned to the palace, decided to invite all the ministers to the banquet tonight, and immediately ordered people to inform all officials.
When all the officials received the invitation, they did not dare not to come. They could only pray to God and worship Buddha so that they would not be unlucky tonight. Some officials even left last words for their families before going. This shows that the officials in the capital have been tortured by Dong Zhuo.
The whole city of Luoyang was shaken by the wind and cranes, and the sun and moon were dim.
Today's banquet was extremely peaceful. Dong Zhuo was the only one there, drinking and talking and laughing happily. All the officials were careful. They dared to laugh only when Dong Zhuo laughed, and only picked up their chopsticks when Dong Zhuo ate. They were all counting the minutes and seconds to calculate when the banquet would end.
.
After a few rounds of drinking, Lu Bu walked in, leaned over Dong Zhuo's ear, and whispered a few words. Dong Zhuo's face turned from joy to anger when he heard this, and Bai Guan's heart was also raised to his throat, and they were all thinking to themselves, "I don't know who should do it."
Bad luck."
Dong Zhuo suddenly stood up angrily from the table, pointed at Sikong Zhang Wen, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Zhang Wen, you old man, if you dare to have an affair with a traitor, come here, pull him down and chop him down."
The officials' expressions changed when they heard this, and Lu Bu said "I have the order" and dragged Zhang Wen down to the hall.
When Zhang Wen was dragged down the hall, he shouted several times, "What crime have I committed... I didn't pass the anti-thief secretly, what evidence can I give..."
After a while, there was no sound. Not long after, the attendant came to the hall carrying a tray, and Zhang Wen's bloody head was placed on the tray.
All the officials were frightened out of their wits, but Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said: "Zhang Wen had an affair with the two brothers of the Cao family, just because the members of the Cao family had letters to each other, and based on this, he deserves to die. No one with the surname Cao is good."
Something, hum!"
Who dares to refute that Cao Cao and Cao Zhi rebelled against Dong Zhuo, which proves that everyone named Cao is a bad person.
Zhang Wen was only his wife's maiden name, Cao, so he had correspondence with his father-in-law's family. Dong Zhuo used this as evidence to accuse him of having an affair with a traitor. In fact, there was no way that this Cao family could compete with Cao Cao or Cao Zhi.
Dong Zhuo hated Cao Cao, and Cao Zhi was possessed by the devil. He would often say the names of Cao Cao and Cao Zhi to himself in dreams or when he was thinking about something. Every time he mentioned these two people, he would gnash his teeth and wish they were like this.
The flesh of two people, eat the bones of these two people.
In fact, no one can understand why Dong Zhuo hates these two people the most. Logically speaking, there are many people who can be called rebels. There are people who oppose Dong Zhuo everywhere in the world. Why don't you hate Yuan Shao, who caused the most trouble?
He hates the two Cao brothers the most, and now he even hates everyone named Cao in the world.
