burning beans

The dust was flying, and it was clear that there were only more than a thousand people in the team, but it burst out with the spirit of ten thousand people.How can such a military power not be daunting?The Karasuma cavalry fought and retreated, and before they knew it, they were pursued by Cao Jun all the way north, until they were only two hundred miles away from Daijun.

The whole army gradually gathered around Cao Zhang. Tian Yu reined in his horse and said to Cao Zhang: "General, our army has come from a long way. Although Shicai repelled the enemy for a while, it is exhausted. Before departure, the king of Wei also The order cannot be easily penetrated. Why don't we just..."

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhang interrupted Tian Yu's words with a wave of his hand: "When we fight, we only want to win. How can we be restrained by orders? Now that the enemy army has not gone far, if we take advantage of the victory to pursue it, we will be able to destroy them all. It is definitely not the behavior of a good general to go after the enemy." Without waiting for Tian Yu's answer, he raised his whip and shouted, "Boys, chase me! Those who lag behind, beheaded!" As fast as the wind, aggressive as fire, with such a destructive momentum, Karasuma's army dared not face it head-on, so they had to flee all the way.However, Cao Zhang would not let them go, the sun rose again, after a day and a night of pursuit, this Karasuma army was finally completely defeated, with thousands of casualties and captives, and countless weapons and supplies lost.

Immediately slashing the gun, Cao Zhang let out a long roar of excitement and satisfaction. He didn't even look at the trophies, and distributed them all to the soldiers.There was thunderous cheers for a while, and the soldiers who were still bloodstained, seemed to be swept away from the fatigue of the past few days, and looked at Cao Zhang with a little more admiration and respect.

In July, Cao Cao marched west to Liu Bei, and in September, the army arrived in Chang'an. At the same time, a victory report was also sent to Cao Cao's case: Karasuma has been leveled, and the north is settled.

Caressing the battle report, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing. There was joy in the smile, but it was more of a relief: My son has grown to such a level...it must be a powerful arm for Zihuan in the future .Zihuan... After so many years of experience, I think that even if I am not around in the future, I will be able to support this career.And Zijian... Thinking of Cao Zhi, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh: This child... I hope he can have a smooth life...

In Yecheng, the dry wind was blowing on people's cheeks. In fine weather, even the clouds seemed to be specially opened to welcome Cao Zhang who returned in triumph, revealing the brilliant autumn sun.

At the gate of the city, Cao Zhang, who has entered his thirties, had a childlike smile on his face when he saw Cao Pi and Cao Zhi brothers who came to greet him, and he rode his horse and ran over from a long distance, until he was reined in by the front. He stopped the horse and shouted: "Second brother, fourth brother, I'm back." After speaking, he seemed to think of something, hurriedly got off the horse, saluted Cao Pi solemnly, and said, "I have seen the prince. .”

Seeing Cao Zhang's frankness and spontaneity, Cao Pi couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly dismounted to help his younger brother, saying: "My brother, why talk about such nonsense?" He looked Cao Zhang up and down again, nodded, and said: "Look at your safety I came back without incident, and I think it went smoothly when I came to the north?"

Cao Zhang raised his chest: "Everything is settled, don't worry."

Cao Pi was waiting to say something, but Cao Zhi, who had already dismounted and stood aside, let out a "puchi" laugh: "The third brother went out, and he succeeded."

Cao Zhang couldn't help being a little proud when he heard the words, and he straightened his chest again: "That's natural." But it made Cao Zhi laugh even more happily.

Cao Pi was also happy, took Cao Zhang's hand, and said, "Let's go, let's talk slowly when we get back, the second brother will clean up the dust for you tonight."

At the brothers' family banquet, a lot of restraints were removed. The three of them gathered around the desk, chatted happily, and listened to Cao Zhang's recounting of Beizheng's experience.When Cao Zhi was young, he also conquered Karasuma in the three counties with Cao Cao. At this time, he had a lot of common topics with Cao Zhang, which made Cao Pi dissatisfied: "You two have a good chat, are you afraid that I will be 'jealous'?"

When Cao Zhang heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Second brother, what you said is really interesting. Although I haven't read many books, I know that the word 'jealous' is not used in this way."

On the other side, Cao Zhi was stunned, and secretly glanced at Cao Pi with some guilt, only to see that the man was just sipping from a wine glass, with smiles in his eyes. He didn't seem to be "jealous" at all?Sensing Cao Zhi's gaze, Cao Pi's gaze also came over, but it was narrow and teasing.Cao Zhi blushed immediately, only then did he realize that this brother was purely teasing himself, and immediately gave him a hard look at him unwillingly, but of course it only brought a deeper smile in Cao Pi's eyes.He wanted to turn his face away angrily, but his eyes greedily stayed on Cao Pi's wanton appearance at the moment, with his half-loose robe, loose long hair, and knuckle-knuckle hands playing with the wine cup.You must know that Cao Pi has always been self-disciplined, and he will not let himself be sloppy at all after becoming the prince.I haven't seen such a chic and wanton appearance for many years...

Ren Cao Zhi's gaze wandered on him, Cao Pi seemed to enjoy this gaze very much, even narrowed his eyes a little smugly, but asked Cao Zhang with his mouth, "Does father have any orders?"

Putting down the drained wine cup, Cao Zhang picked up a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it, saying: "Father called me to Chang'an, I will rest here for two days before leaving."

"This way..." Cao Pi was still playing with the wine cup unconsciously in his hand, but Cao Pi had a thoughtful look in his eyes, and soon he said: "You have established a military exploit this time, there must be many people who are jealous. When I see my father, it's better to give more credit to your generals, lest someone say you take the credit and be proud."

Hearing this, Cao Zhang stopped eating meat, seemed to be thinking, then grinned: "I just listen to you."

Cao Zhang didn't have much intellect, but Cao Zhi was shocked when he heard it: You must know that Cao Zhang has made great achievements, and ordinary people will inevitably be conceited because of this. His father's summoning this time cannot guarantee that he did not intend to test it, but Zihuan can understand it all at once. How can such insight not be admirable?Sure enough, Zihuan should be the one to sit in that seat... Looking at Cao Pi again, he has put away his thoughtful expression just now, and just chatted with Cao Zhang some ordinary words.The smile in the eyes gave the well-defined face a bit of soft color, and the brows were condensed with a bit of majesty, but at this moment, there was a bit of free and unrestrained expression in the fluttering clothes.For some reason, the phrase "skillful as a god" instantly appeared in Cao Zhi's mind.Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: His son Huan, of course he can bear such words.

Daylight is youthful, when the rain is quiet and the dust is flying.The cold ice wards off the scorching scene, and the cool wind blows over me.The wine is full of pure gold, and the delicacies are displayed vertically and horizontally.

The people of Qi entered into the strange music, and the singers came from the Western Qin Dynasty.Pianpian my son, ingenious and sudden like a god.

Later Cao Zhang saw Cao Cao, and according to Cao Pi's words, he attributed all the military exploits to the generals.Cao Cao was overjoyed and praised: "Huang Xu'er is amazing!"

In the 24th year of Jian'an, Xia Houyuan and Liu Bei fought in Yangping, and they were defeated and killed.In March, Cao Cao led his army out of Xiegu from Chang'an, approached Hanzhong, and confronted Liu Bei at Yangping.

The confrontation lasted for more than two months, Liu Bei defended against danger, and neither side made much progress.So, in May, Cao Cao returned to Chang'an.

In the same year, Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu, the master book, for the crime of "leaking out his words and teachings" and "communicating with the princes".

In July, Mrs. Bian was named Queen of Wei.At the same time, Cao Cao dispatched Yu Jin and Pang De to lead troops to assist Cao Ren who stationed in Fancheng to conquer Guan Yu who was stationed in Jingzhou.

In August, the Han River rose sharply, and Yu Jin's army was submerged by the water, and the whole army was wiped out. Pang De was killed in battle, and Yu Jin was captured by Guan Yu.Afterwards, Guan Yu led his army and took advantage of the victory to surround Cao Ren.

Ye City, Wei Palace, hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor, Cao Pi looked anxious, and he didn't even bother to respond to the servants who saluted him along the way.Fang stopped in front of two wooden doors with simple but exquisite carvings.Even if he just stood outside the door, Cao Pi could feel the strong smell of alcohol in the house.Frowning involuntarily, Cao Pi raised his hand and pushed open the half-hidden wooden door.

Sure enough, the room smelled of alcohol, and there were more than a dozen wine jars lying crookedly on the ground.Cao Pi frowned even tighter, raised his feet, stepped over the wine jars, and walked straight to the inner room.

There were also a few wine jars scattered on the floor of the inner room, and Cao Zhi was lying on the table at this time, as if he had passed out drunk, and even Cao Pi didn't respond when he walked up to him.Cao Pi stood silently for a while, then suddenly grabbed Cao Zhi and shouted, "Zhi'er!"

The sudden force made Cao Zhi stagger, and when he saw who was coming, Cao Zhi frowned: "Zihuan..."

Cao Pi was angry, and wanted to teach his younger brother a good lesson, but now he saw Cao Zhi's eyes were clear, and there was no trace of drunkenness, so he couldn't help being stunned: "Are you not drunk?"

Hearing Cao Pi's question, Cao Zhi burst out laughing: "You have lied to Lian Zihuan too, it seems that my acting skills are pretty good."

Cao Pi didn't have the heart to joke with him, and said anxiously: "Why do you pretend to be drunk and refuse to accept father's orders? In the past two years, father has finally re-entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, why do you..."

Cao Zhi didn't take it seriously: "Uncle Cao Ren is trapped, even without me, my father has many good generals who can be dispatched under his account, but..." After a moment of silence, he whispered: "In this way, people around you will no longer look down on me. I'm threatening..."

Opened his mouth, Cao Pi didn't know how to answer the words for a moment: this silly boy... a faint sense of guilt surged in his heart, and then he was full of distress: If it wasn't for his own incompetence, why bother Zhi'er...his Zhi'er should How can someone who stands radiantly in front of thousands of people just bear the name of "drinking without restraint"?Raising his hand to brush the soft hair and reddish cheeks, Cao Pi pulled Cao Zhi up and walked out: "Second brother, go and call the person who delivered the order back, Zhi'er, you can't spoil yourself like this..."

The person behind him stood still, Cao Pi turned his head, and the next moment, the familiar Wen Ruan crashed into his arms.Cao Zhi buried his head in front of Cao Pi's chest, and shook his head lightly: "People have already gone far, and they can't catch up. And, Zihuan, I don't care, really..."
