burning beans

Under the night, the continuous Cao Jun camp was quiet, and the flames elongated the figures of the soldiers on patrol at night.Just after surrendering Zhang Xiu, the faces of Cao Jun who are now stationed in Wancheng are filled with relief and joy.In the main tent, Cao Cao spent half the night enjoying himself, and at the moment he was already intoxicated by the tenderness and sweetness of Zhang Xiu's aunt, Zou Shi.

Suddenly, from a corner of the camp, a cluster of flames shot up into the sky, hurting the eyes of the half-battalion soldiers. "What's going on?" The general in charge of the inspection was about to send soldiers to check, when he felt a pain in his throat, opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't make a sound, raised his hand as if he wanted to touch his throat to see what was wrong, but suddenly touched it. A cold arrow shaft.I don't know if the pupils were enlarged due to surprise or out of focus, and they swayed. Under the astonished eyes of all the soldiers, the tall body leaned back and fell straight down.

There was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and dust splashed everywhere. Only then did the soldiers realize what had happened.For a while, "It's on fire!", "Someone sneak attack!" Exclamations rang out endlessly.In the chaos, a group of people rushed into Cao Ying like sharp knives. Wherever they passed, severed limbs flew across. The unsuspecting Cao Jun could only be slaughtered like fish on a knife.

Cao Pi fell asleep in the tent, and in his sleep he felt someone shaking him: "Pi'er, Pi'er, wake up, wake up."

The dream was disturbed, Cao Pi waved his hand impatiently, turned over and wanted to continue sleeping.Seeing this, Cao Ang felt anxious, and stretched out his hand to pinch Cao Pi's thigh severely.

"Ouch—" There was a sharp pain in his leg, and Cao Pi jumped up from the bed with a jerk.Almost at the same time, like a conditioned reflex, the pillow dagger was unsheathed and waved towards Cao Ang.

Fortunately, Cao Ang was strong and strong, so he dodged sideways.Grabbing Cao Pi's wrist, he spoke anxiously, "Pi'er, there is a surprise attack, get up quickly."

The sound of swords and swords clashing faintly came from outside the tent. Cao Pi was stunned, and then trembled suddenly before he woke up.Turning his eyes to the tent door, the flames flickered, and the figures intertwined. It was conceivable that the entire camp was in chaos.

How could a ten-year-old child experience such an accident? He lost his mind for a moment, and unconsciously looked at his brother beside him: "What... what should I do, brother?"

Cao Ang didn't care too much at the moment, he grabbed a robe and put it on Cao Pi, and ran out while pulling Cao Pi: "Don't be dazed, run out."

As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he saw a soldier fall down at his feet with a scream, his eyes wide open, and he seemed unwilling.Cao Ang swung his sword to block the cutting blade, pulled Cao Pi and ran to the stable behind the tent.There were flames everywhere, wailing everywhere, and blood everywhere.Cao Ang wiped the neck of the rushing man with his sword, and opened the stable without looking at the fallen body.The war horses had already been frightened, and they were commotion beside the trough.Cao Pi followed Cao Ang into the stables, pulled out his horse in twos and twos, and got on the horse's back as soon as he turned over, regardless of whether he had time to add the saddle and bridle.Looking back, Cao Ang also got on his horse, and said to Cao Pi: "I'm afraid the camp will not be able to hold this time, you run out quickly, be careful yourself."

Cao Pi was still in shock: "What about you, big brother?"

Cao Ang turned the horse's head: "I'm going to find my father, you go first." An arrow flew from nowhere in Hengli. , with a long hiss, he spread his hooves and galloped away.Cao Pi turned his head and wanted to say something more, but the horse ran too fast, so he had to hold on to the mane tightly to prevent himself from falling off.In a daze, I could only vaguely see the figure of Cao Ang galloping his horse towards the direction of the main tent.

Another arrow came flying, and it was unknown where it was fired. Cao Pi lowered his head and dodged it, lying on his horse and galloping out of the camp.During the ups and downs, he remembered that before leaving home, Cao Zhi hooked his little finger and said seriously: "Second brother must come back alive." I don't know if it has formed a habit. They will come out like this, as if they can really not die if they say so.Every time Cao Pi coaxed on the surface, he was actually disdainful in his heart.However, at this moment, when death is within reach, a strong desire to survive has never been ignited in Cao Pi's heart: for Zhi'er's words, run out and live...

In Xudu, Sikong Mansion, white curtains covered the entire lobby, and the pillars were also wrapped in white cloth.The courtyard was full of snow, and the inside and outside of the house turned white, adding to the sense of sadness and sorrow.Cao Pi knelt straight in the hall, staring blankly at the tablet above.Unexpectedly, the hasty farewell in the rebellious army turned out to be a forever farewell. If I hadn't been panicking and running for my own life, if I had turned around and called out, wouldn't it have been like this?brother...

In the battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao's beloved horse, Jueying, was ambushed and killed. Cao Ang gave up his mount to Cao Cao in order to save his father from danger. .

Cao Pi brought his two younger brothers to greet Ding.After Cao Ang's death, Mrs. Ding hadn't left her room for many days, and she only asked her servants to bring some light meals to her room for three meals.Cao Cao felt ashamed and came to visit every day, but he was rejected one after another.The Cao Pi brothers often just greeted outside the door.Although everyone in the Cao family dared not talk about it, they all knew that Zhang Xiu surrendered and rebelled. Because Cao Cao took over his aunt, no one dared to persuade him.The eldest son died, and his wife ignored him. Cao Cao's face sank every day.So, apart from the sadness, a tense atmosphere permeated the mansion, and people walked lightly for a moment, and they didn't even dare to cough loudly.

I wanted to ask for safety outside the door, so I took my younger brother to study and practice martial arts, but when I walked to the door, I heard voices coming from the room.

"You and I have been husband and wife for more than 20 years, are you really so heartless?" It was Cao Cao's voice.

The three brothers stopped, and Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi looked at Cao Pi in the middle in unison.Cao Pi thought for a while, made a silent gesture, led his two younger brothers, and tiptoed to the window.

After a while of silence, Cao Cao sighed, "You just won't forgive me?"

The woman's footsteps sounded, as if she had reached the door. Cao Pi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly dragged his two younger brothers to the door, only to hear Mrs. Ding's voice from behind the door, choked with sobs and obviously restrained Angry: "You killed my child, what else can I miss?" Before Cao Cao could answer, the door was opened, and Mrs. Ding came out in plain clothes, followed by a maid with a bundle in her hand. .

Cao Pi took a quick step back and bowed in salute.Before Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi could react, seeing his brother bending over, he hurriedly followed him to salute.

Unexpectedly meeting the Cao Pi brothers, Ding was also taken aback, his eyes lingering on the three brothers, as if looking through them for a figure that would never return.After a long time, he finally looked away, sighed softly, and said, "Forget it, you don't have to come to greet me again in the future." I couldn't help but look twice more, and raised my hand to stroke the hair of the three of them one by one. Ding, said softly: "If you go out with your father in the future, you must remember that you must come back alive for your mother." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the gate of the house without looking back.

In the second year of Jian'an, Mrs. Ding returned home in anger because of Cao Ang's death. After that, Mrs. Bian, the mother of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, became Cao Cao's wife.

The grief in Wancheng has not yet dissipated. In September, a thunderstorm exploded in Cao Cao's ears again: Yuan Shu, who ruled Huainan, usurped the title of emperor and called himself "Zhong's family".

For a while, the princes were in an uproar, and they mobilized and accused him.In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the strength of the Liu family is about to run out, and Kuangfu Han is just a cover to expand their own strength. , so as not to become the target of public criticism and give others an excuse to attack themselves.I don't know how many people are really angry about Yuan Shu's "big rebellious" move, and how many people are actually secretly happy in their hearts?

Lifting the pen, sinking the wrist, moving the pen, closing the pen, and walking around with the tip of the pen, a song "No Clothes" dripped onto the paper.Shaking the wet paper, eight-year-old Cao Zhi proudly asked Cao Pi, "How is it?"

Qi said without clothes?Go with the child.Master Wang Yuxing, repair my spear.Have hatred with the son!

Qi said without clothes?Tongze with the child.Master Wang Yuxing, repair my spear.Work with the son!

Qi said without clothes?Same clothes with the child.Division Wang Yuxing, repair my armor.Go with the son!

The pen is full of ink and ink, although it is still immature, but the trend of being upright and upright can be seen with every stroke of the sword.

Touching his younger brother's head, Cao Pi praised: "Good writing! Zhi'er has made great progress over the past year, almost better than the second brother's writing." As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little sour: "Obviously I came back last time. At that time, the writing was a little crooked... Alas, it seems that I will never be able to hold that little hand to teach Zhi'er Linzi again...

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhi shook his head: "Zhi'er is still far behind the second brother." Looking at Cao Pi with big eyes, "Second brother can teach Zhi'er how to learn calligraphy?"

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment and then happy again, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved: "Okay."

The tender little hand was just enough to be held in the palm, and the thick ink was winding on the paper, Cao Pi only felt infinitely satisfied in his heart.

The autumn afternoon sun shines through the window and casts warmly on the two of them.On the ground, two figures overlapped, and at a glance, they were somewhat indistinguishable from each other.

In the first month of the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao specially set up the post of military adviser to sacrifice wine for Guo Jia.During the next three to five years of Jian'an, great changes took place on the land of the Central Plains.

In the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao first defeated the coalition forces of Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao, and then defeated Lv Bu, beheading Lv Bu and Chen Gong in Xiapi.

In the fourth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao, who dominated Jizhou, wiped out Gongsun Zan, annexed Youzhou, and commanded the four prefectures of Ji, Qing, You, and Bing. The army totaled hundreds of thousands, and his strength was even more ambitious.In the same year, Yuan Shu, who was attacked by the princes, was desperate, so he wanted to go to Qingzhou to join Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, but Liu Bei, who was living in Cao Cao's office, took the opportunity to propose to stop him.Soon, Yuan Shu vomited blood and died.Liu Bei went to Xiapi, killed Chezhou, the governor of Xuzhou, raised his troops, and separated from Cao Cao.In November, Zhang Xiu adopted the advice of counselor Jia Xu and surrendered to Cao Cao.In December, Cao Cao's troops stationed at Guandu.

In the first month of the fifth year of Jian'an, Dong Guiren's father, Dong Cheng, and others conspired to kill Cao Cao.Cao Cao killed Dong Cheng and others, and exiled his three clans.After Liu Bei was conquered eastward, Liu Bei escaped and went to Yuan Shao, and his wife and general Guan Yu were captured by Cao Cao.In February, Cao Cao returned to Guandu and confronted Yuan Shao.
