Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1988 Family love and affection, wearing armor and removing armor

"Ha ha……"

Cao Cao sneered.

"The place where the hussars ride is full of newlyweds and carefree... But why is this place really full of smog and ghosts?"Um?What do you think? 』

Cao Pi lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

Today Cao Pi woke up early on purpose because he was bumped into by Cao Cao when he was sleeping late yesterday.

People, when it comes to winter, they feel that a warm bed is worse than a thousand things. In addition, Cao Pi is not very old, and he is somewhat lethargic. Naturally, he was scolded by Cao Cao.

Cao Pi originally thought that waking up early today would be regarded as a sign of his own self-improvement, and he would get a little praise from Cao Cao, but he did not expect to be greeted with such a problem...

This nima hussar, what does it matter to me whether he gets married or not?
Why do you even throw the matter of Hussars on my head?

Cao Pi didn't dare to twist his father's thigh with his small arms, so he naturally put all the grievances in his belly on the head of Hussar General Fei Qian, and first took a small notebook in his heart to write it down...

Cao Cao has had some liver qi stagnation these two days.The reason is very simple. The death of the county magistrate of Qinghe left behind a good reputation, while Cao Cao's notoriety was on his head, and he couldn't get it off even if he wanted to.

The county magistrate of Qinghe is very poor.The eldest son died early, and there was only one daughter.

Cao Cao still wants to send someone to give him warmth, to show that he is very magnanimous. Does Qinghe County Magistrate need not do this at all?Look, I was scolded and went to take care of his family. Is there such a benevolent lord in the world?
But Cao Cao's bad breath can only be held back, can he not be stagnant?So when I saw Cao Pi yesterday, I was scolded for a while, which is normal.It's just that even scolding Cao Pi can't relieve Cao Cao's depression, because the root knot is not caused by Cao Pi, so Cao Cao's anger returns to anger, and after the anger is over, the depression is still depressed.

Cao Pi quickly took a look at his father's face, thinking that his father could not see, then hesitantly said: "Huqi Wuyou, most of them are of the same mind, but my lord father may have different intentions here..."

"Hmm..." Cao Cao nodded, then shook his head again, "Some are right, some are wrong..."

"what? 』Cao Pi was taken aback, what does it mean that something is right and something is wrong?

In fact, Cao Cao can generally know where the gap between himself and Fei Qian is, but the problem is that even if he knows, it is not easy to deal with...

It’s like decorating, you need mud and water, electricians, carpentry, painting, hardware, etc., but if it’s a rough house, it may be relatively simple, according to The process is just a little bit, but if it has been renovated before, it needs to be demolished and redecorated, and then accidentally hit the water pipe, knocked down the neighbor's wall, and then leaked the original waterproof layer...

Although the metaphor may not be very appropriate, but the meaning is probably similar.Fei Qian grew up from a young age, step by step, and many things came naturally, but Cao Cao swallowed Yanzhou in one mouthful, Xuzhou in one mouthful, and now Jizhou in one mouthful, inevitably indigestion, this and that.

"Huh..." Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi, thinking about this kid, why did he look smart when he was young, and why did he go back as he grew up?But after all, he is still his own child, so he said a little bit, "Do you think that there is no one who hinders the horse?"All the same!only……"

There are also some contradictions in Feiqian territory, but these contradictions can basically be suppressed by Feiqian, and these internal conflicts under Feiqian are not too serious. Even the Juetian system, which has the most conflict of interests, has some Many regulations and laws will have very obvious changes when the next generation inherits them, just like real estate property taxes. Although everyone knows that this thing will have earth-shaking changes and will be introduced in a certain period of time in the future, but not now Not yet, so there is no need for the big landlord class to jump up immediately...

If you give Cao Cao ten or eight years, and then slowly infiltrate, Cao Cao, a general with relatives, has not officially taken office yet, but with Cao Cao's means, he can naturally be quite stable.It's just that Cao Cao can't afford to wait now, and can't delay.

At present, many gentry in Jizhou and Yuzhou think differently from Cao Cao. They now think that the Central Plains has been settled, and since Feiqian is willing to stay in Guanzhong and not come out, he will not come out. Anyway, he originally abandoned Guanzhong and the Longyou area. The argument is very popular among the Shandong gentry, so the most important thing now is to resume production and stabilize the defense. As long as the Central Plains are not lost, why bother to provoke Feiqian?

Therefore, most of the gentry in Yuzhou, Jizhou feel that there is no need to fight, and they don't want to continue to fight. They want to take advantage of the opportunity of many fled unclaimed lands to expand their industries.After all, he took risks back then and gritted his teeth and did not escape. Now that the situation has been initially determined, it is natural to gain some, or else they will all be taken away by the Cao family and Xiahou family.

"So, do you understand? ’ Cao Cao asked.

"Understood! ’ Cao Pi immediately said.

Cao Cao swept over, "What do you understand? 』

"Uh... this..." Cao Pi quickly glanced at Cao Cao again, "Understand the difference between the present and the hussars..."

"What's the difference? ’ Cao Cao asked.

"Well... that..." Cao Pi held back for a moment, and suddenly Fuzhi said in a heartfelt way, "Yes, marriage, yes, Huqi married, and my father also married..."

"You bastard! 』Cao Cao was furious.I've been talking for a long time, you brat only remembers that Fei's married? "Get out!Copy the Spring and Autumn Zuo family and share it with someone! 』

Cao Pi was taken aback, "Du, Du... copied? 』

"Copy Lu Zhuanggong first! ’ Cao Cao snorted.

Cao Pi left with his head in his arms.

Cao Cao looked at it, and suddenly frowned. This bastard seems to have some truth in what he said... However, all punishments have been punished, so let's do this first...

... (｀へ) ...

"Are there any rumors outside? 』

Cao Hong was still wearing his armor, sitting in the hall with a deep expression on his face.Cao Hong took the captured workshop manager into the city yesterday, and Cao Hong released the news first. Now, he is waiting for who will jump out first.

Cao Fu shook his head and said, "The street is very stable, I haven't heard any rumors..."

"Hmm..." Cao Hong exhaled deeply and frowned, "Could it be that...you haven't found it yet?Not so...」

The workshop steward was arrested, which meant that the armor incident was exposed. At this time, whether it was to attack the Cao family or fight for this piece of food, some actions were needed, but why there was no movement?
After yesterday's abnormal incident, Cao Fu's perception of Cao Hong has also changed a bit. Now that he saw Cao Hong frowning, he was no longer like before and pretended not to see it. He also thought about it, "Has it not been conveyed? 』

Cao Hong interrogated the workshop manager yesterday, and deliberately left a hole, that is, the so-called "masked person". Since it is a mask, it means that it may be anyone, so once someone jumps out, Cao Hong will immediately pounce on it , covered the masked man's hat on his head, and then knocked the stick to the ground to deter the rest of the nobles, but now, there is no movement, which makes the stick in Cao Hong's hand unaware Where did you put it...

"Wait a little longer..." Cao Hong pondered, "When the rabbit leaves the nest, it is inevitable to look around..."

Cao Fu nodded and said, "That kid will go outside to find out a little bit more!" 』

"Well, let's go! 』Watching Cao Fu leave, Cao Hong feels somewhat comforted in his chaotic mood. The child has finally grown up and knows how to share the worries of his parents...

...(^ω^`)...

Next to a road outside Xu County.

Xun Yu sat in the pavilion with a calm face and calm water.

"Reporting to Lingjun, the elder has left the city..." A servant reported in a low voice.

Xun Yu nodded to show that he understood, and then sat in the pavilion, letting the wind blow his robes.

After a while, a line of chariots and horses came windingly from the far side of the road, and when they were two or three hundred steps away from the pavilion, they obviously found Xun Yu's figure and stopped immediately.

Xun Yu stood up: "I have a lot of work to do, I haven't greeted the elders of the family for a long time, I see you today, and I know that the elders are well as before, and Fang Wei feels relieved..."

Elder Xun knew that he couldn't escape, so he simply stopped the horses and chariots in front of the pavilion, got out of the car, leaned on his cane, looked at Xun Yu and said, "Your order is here, do you want to fall for Xun family?" 』

Xun Yu cupped his hands and said, "I dare not. ’ Then Xun Yu straightened up, looked at the elders of the Xun family, and said, ‘Since you are a subject, you should be loyal and righteous. 』

Elder Xun snorted, ignored Xun Yu, walked straight into the pavilion with a limp, sat down, put his crutches aside, and said to the left and right in a deep voice: "Stand back!" 』

The servants of the elder Xun's family retreated naturally, but the guards brought by Xun Yu looked at Xun Yu, and when they saw Xun Yu waving, they stood a little further away.

"In the second year of Zhongping, the Xun family owned more than [-] mu of land, with more than [-] Zhuang slave households and a population of more than [-]... In the third year of Yanping, the land was [-] mu, but there were only less than [-] Zhuang slave households left!More than five thousand mouths! ’ Elder Xun’s stared at Xun Yu, and said in a deep voice, ‘What about this year? !Don't say you don't know! 』

Xun Yu was silent.

"When Ciming was alive, Mrs. Xun gave lectures and gathered from all directions!Not to mention Yingchuan, Jizhou and Yuzhou, who doesn't know the name of "Xun's Eight Dragons"? ! ’ Elder Xun squinted his eyes, and the light under Lada’s eyelids pierced Xun Yu, “After you become the head of the family, how much will Xun’s reputation benefit? ! 』

Xun Yu remained silent.

"In the past, when the five prefectures were recruited, none of them should be kind, but they turned to the clansmen and spread favors to the clan... How about you?At that time, the Minister of the Dynasty ordered that the power was in charge of the officials, who was promoted?Guo Zhong and Chen Duman are all people with foreign surnames, how can any clansman stand out from the crowd? ’ Elder Xun’s angrily paused his crutches, ‘You eat two thousand stones, and the clan tightens their waists!In this way, is your loyalty to the emperor and patriotism more important than the community? 』

"When you were young, Ciming praised you for your intelligence and virtuousness, saying that you must be a person who will rejuvenate the country and bring peace to the country, and glorify the lintel, so he would rather give up his own children and pass on the family head to you!" ’ Elder Xun stared at Xun Yu, and stabbed Xun Yu with a hoarse voice like a knife, ‘But what? !There is no need for prosperity and security, but there must be no glorious lintel!In the heavy snow last winter, two of the Xun's children froze to death and five were injured!Without him, it is because you are dedicated to the country, fair and just, so that the Xun's children have no charcoal to use!Profile also had to go out to collect firewood! 』

"Although you say that it is safe to pay after the event, but even though it is a side branch, it is also the flesh and blood of Xun's family!"How can I abandon it lightly?You want fairness and justice, but the Cao family, the Xiahou family, under the severe cold, will there be people who freeze to death outside the city?The old man is already at the end of his life, and he is running around outside. It is not what the old man wants, but to keep the Xun family alive! 』

"What happened today started with Emperor Xiaozhao of the Han Dynasty, and the old system was passed down from our ancestors!" ’ Elder Xun’s family continued, ‘Mr. Cao stopped selling wine and said it hurt farmers, but it’s not a common practice. 』

If Cao Cao wanted to improve his armor, he naturally needed craftsmen to develop it, but how many qualified blacksmiths could there be in the Xiahou family of the Cao family?So naturally, it became inevitable to recruit craftsmen from various ethnic groups, and for these families in Yingchuan or Yuzhou, craftsmen are also an important resource for them, and now they are classified under Cao Hong by Cao Cao. Manage, take care of, maybe change the surname and become a member of the Cao family...

This uncle and aunt, how can you hold back?Who's heart will be satisfied with a smile?Will you willingly say that it's okay, Boss Cao will take it away, and we all voluntarily lowered our wages?
Elder Xun didn't want to get any answer from Xun Yu, because he knew Xun Yu, just like Xun Yu knew him, so Elder Xun supported himself on crutches again, and stood up: "This matter, someone knows I can't hide it from you... I won't hide it from you, there is Guo family and Chen family in the village, if you still say that you are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, then lead the troops to kill the old man and others!snort!You, let's do it for ourselves! 』

After finishing speaking, Elder Xun shook his sleeves, leaned on his crutches and boarded the car, then turned his head to the side, without looking at Xun Yu, and ordered to move on.

Xun Yu worshiped on the left side of the road, and only slowly straightened up after the elder Xun's family left, with a somewhat lonely expression.

"Bong Xiao... If you were here, what would you do..."

(Feng'er gently lifted the corner of Xun Yu's clothes, and then swayed at Xun Yu's legs and feet, after a while, he saw that Xun Yu was standing there blankly, neither paying attention to collection, nor giving monthly tickets and recommendations ticket, turned around in annoyance, snorted and left...)
……╭(╯^╰)╮……

"what? ! 』

Cao Hong stood up, then threw the Mazha belt to the ground again with a clang.

"I report to you, my lord father, that is indeed the case...the city said that the hussars wanted to harm Mr. Cao, so they made the thieves coerce the workshop manager..." Cao Fu reported, "First they sold the fake ones as good ones, and then quietly exchanged them for inferior ones. , causing our army to suffer in the battlefield...』

Cao Hong's beard kept shaking, this, can the mother make it up like this?

But the problem is logical, and it seems to make sense.

Hushi Feiqian and Cao Cao are opposites, so it is natural to resort to any means. At the same time, if it does become like the rumors say, first use good things to muddle through, and then use a lot of inferior quality It seems to be a good way to use armor to reduce the combat effectiveness of Cao Jun...

But, damn it, are all the people who are Cao's and Xiahou's are idiots?
Even Cao Hong is greedy in other things, but at least military items still have to be inspected by himself, not to mention the stricter Xiahou Dun...

Now the army is basically directly commanded by the Xiahou family of the Cao family. Even if some idiots have no brains, they will be deceived, but the vast majority of the children of the Xiahou family of the Cao family will definitely not watch this kind of thing happen indifferently, so This kind of statement can only deceive ordinary people, and it cannot be established at all here by Cao Hong!
Cao Hong sneered and said, "Hmph!How dare you...do you think we are all stupid? ! 』This is not only an insult to Cao Hong's personality, but also an incidental insult to Cao Hong's IQ!
Cao Fu was also furious when he heard the words, so he said, "Wait for my son to investigate again. Where did the rumors come from?"If you get to the bottom of it, you will be severely punished! 』

"Hold on!cough!No need to go! ’Cao Hong stopped Cao Fu, pondered for a long time, and finally sighed, ‘Go and behead the workshop manager for the crime of greed for money and lack of military prosperity. 』

"My lord father! 』Cao Fu couldn't understand.

"So-and-so said, this matter..." Cao Hong closed his eyes, "Let's leave it at that for now!" 』

Collaborating with the enemy is naturally a serious crime, but the problem is that the definition of "enemy" itself is ambiguous.

If it is said that General Hussars is the enemy, but the problem is that Generals Hussars opened up the territory, and it was not long before the Han Dynasty that the court of the Han Dynasty canonized the serious governor of Xijing, Tong Sangong. Then such people are enemies, then Hussars Who is your enemy?
This is first of all, it is unjustifiable in name.

After all, many things can be done under the table, but it is a bit embarrassing to put it on the table, just like a cute girl in women's clothing, wearing a skirt is naturally all right, but it is somewhat against the law to take off the fat times.

Secondly, if we really want to investigate, in Xu County, is there only one person in charge of the workshop who has contacts with the hussar general Fei Qian and is suspected of "collaborating with the enemy"?

If this kind of crime is really investigated, I am afraid that many officials in Xu County will immediately tremble and panic, for fear that they will be implicated. Then in such an atmosphere, can there be any work efficiency?There will inevitably be problems with the spring plowing, which will affect this year's harvest...

In the end, when such rumors came out, it was tantamount to telling Cao Hong that the hussars were involved now, and if he went up, he would be the emperor. Of course, it does not mean that this matter was ordered by the emperor. It's a cryptic expression, stop it, if you go on, you'll break the sky...

Cao Hong looked up at the sky, and heaved a long sigh, "Come here... take off your armor..."
