Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 109 Do a full set of acting (thanks to [Jingchu Flying Dragon] for the reward!)
Xia Houyuan led the army to pursue and kill Zhang Kai.

Although he overtook and killed hundreds of Zhang Kai's soldiers,
But in the end he escaped with nearly 2000 people.

Xia Houyuan saw that Ying Shao was leading the army to protect Mr. Cao, so he went back to Juancheng, Yanzhou to report to Cao Cao.

After leaving Taishan County,

Ying Shao lent five hundred soldiers under his command to the old man Cao as bodyguards, and Zhao Yun and Tai Shici led the group of soldiers to escort the old man Cao to Juancheng.

When escorting Mr. Cao's family to a place fifty miles away from Juancheng,
But Zhao Yun suddenly met someone from Juancheng.

After meeting the leader of the group,
Zhao Yun handed over Mrs. Cao to them with confidence, and together with Tai Shici, he bid farewell to Cao Song and led the guards who had less than 70 people left, and went back to report to Cao Cao.

According to Mr. Cao's original idea,

Before entering Juancheng,
It must be to let the family members clean up their embarrassing appearance, so as not to embarrass Cao Cao in front of the people after entering the city.

However, among this group of people, there was a scribe who looked young and had a sallow complexion, but persuaded Mrs. Cao, saying:
"Master Cao, I thought you should act more miserable when you entered the city."

"Why?" Cao Song was taken aback by what the scribe said.

"The fact that you were chased and killed by Tao Qian's men on the way has spread throughout Yanzhou, and will soon spread throughout the entire Han Dynasty.

If you act more miserable and embarrassed when you enter the city, then Tao Qian's crimes will become more and more serious. "

Cao Song is a smart old man, he suddenly understood what this scribe said, and immediately understood what this guy was up to, "This is to pave the way for the attack on Xuzhou!"

After understanding the key point, Cao Song stroked his slightly messy beard, nodded and said, "That's right, your suggestion is very good and pertinent!"

Then he immediately turned around and shouted to the servant behind him, "Come here, bring the knife!"

"This..." Cao De and Cao Song's concubines were a little confused, why are they so good, they are going to use a knife again?

Cao Song's subordinates were still very strong in execution, and soon someone brought a dagger to him.

Without further ado, Cao Song picked up the knife and pointed it at his beard with a "click"!
"Ah!" The concubine screamed out of fear of Cao Song's actions.

Afterwards, Cao Song cut off his bundled hair again!

"Father! You can't do stupid things!" Cao De was so frightened that he burst into tears, and together with the concubine who had recovered, he grabbed Cao Song's hand vigorously, preventing him from having a chance to speak to himself again. Cut something up.
In this era,
Body, hair and skin, received by parents, dare not damage, this is the beginning of filial piety!
What I said is that everything on me is given by my parents, and there must be no damage in the slightest.Caring for the body is like respecting and loving one's parents. This is the beginning of filial piety.

Therefore, in the eyes of Cao De and others, Cao Song's behavior of cutting his beard and hair was an extreme self-mutilation!
Cao Song's actions were restrained by his concubine and the tearful Cao De,
So he ordered to his subordinates: "Please change the dirty clothes for me, it's better to make a few more holes in the clothes!"

Many servants don't know why Mrs. Cao changed the order day and night,

It was just ordered that they clean themselves up so as not to embarrass Duke Cao,

Why at this moment, they suddenly asked them to make themselves more embarrassed?
Although most people don't know the intention of Mrs. Cao,
But there will always be some smarter servants who can quickly understand the meaning of Old Master Cao's words.

This is not,

After listening to the old man Cao's order, a spirited young man,
Without further ado, he stretched out his hand and made a few "claps" and tore the clothes he was wearing into shreds.

He even disliked himself for not being miserable enough,
So he picked up a stone from the side of the road, and hit his forehead hard, "Crack!"

"what!"

The young man's behavior frightened the surrounding servants, "Do you need to play with your life like this?"

After Cao Song heard the exclamation of the crowd, he followed the sound and turned his head to look.

Seeing the young man who was still holding the stone with a stream of blood slowly flowing down his face, he asked loudly in relief:

"Yes, promising, what's your name?"

Seeing that Cao Song actually asked his name, the young man grinned and replied with a bloody smirk:
"Back to the old man, a certain name is Cao Fei, and he has been your most loyal servant for three generations!"

"Okay!" Cao Song was very satisfied when he heard the words, he waved his hand and said, "Reward Cao Fei, one thousand dollars!"

Cao Fei didn't expect that he would get a reward by accident.
Surprised, he immediately bowed to Cao Song and said gratefully: "Thank you, old lady, for your reward, thank you, old lady, for your reward!"

During the Han Dynasty, a catty of silver was equal to two thousand to three thousand coins.

The old man Cao's move turned out to be a thousand dollars, really very proud!

(PS: By the way, one tael in the Han Dynasty was almost equal to the current 15.6 grams, and a catty in the Han Dynasty was calculated as 16 taels, so a catty was almost equal to the current 250 grams.)
"Aye? There is such a good thing?!!" Someone suddenly discovered something.

"Damn it, that brat Cao Fei got the first prize!"

"Hmph, small tricks, look at me!"

Others saw that Cao Fei had obtained rewards in this way, so more and more servants joined in the act of self-mutilation, and began to follow suit.

on site,

Immediately blood splattered and screamed again and again, Cao Song was so excited when he saw it, "Rewards! There are rewards for everything! As long as you see blood, each person will have a thousand dollars! Hahahaha!"

The corner of the yellow-faced scribe's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he advised Cao Song, "It's too late, Mr. Cao, it's almost time."

"Yeah..." Mrs. Cao also listened to the persuasion.
After watching the excitement for a while, he immediately stopped the servants who were vying for self-mutilation.

Then he looked at Wen Shidao:

"Young student, what's your name? Any position under Meng De?

I see that you are quite thoughtful, tell me, and I can say a few words for you in front of Mengji. "

The scribe smiled and cupped his hands to Cao Song and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Cao! Bucai's surname is Xi, and the single name is Zhong."

"What is the sign?"

"Exhibit character Zhicai."

"Oh, Xi Zhong and Xi Zhicai, I wrote it down." Cao Song nodded, waved to Xi Zhicai again and said:
"Since it's an act, it has to be real.

Juancheng is ahead, and there will be no more danger. You go first, so that no one can see it. "

"Here!" Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and bowed again, then called his people and left together.

When Xi Zhicai's figure was about to disappear, Cao Song suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard the name Xi Zhicai somewhere,

"Huh? Wait!"

It was as if a bolt of lightning flashed across Cao Song's mind, illuminating his dark thoughts,

"I remembered, isn't Meng De's mastermind called Xi Zhicai!!!"
