Xiaoguangong

Chapter 262

Sure enough, as Cao Xian guessed, not long after Yunshan left Wei Wangfu, a group of armored iron soldiers surrounded the post house where he was temporarily staying. Cao Xiu, Cao Pi's confidant and the cavalry governor of tiger and leopard cavalry, personally led the army.

This Qianliju of the Cao family was very polite when he saw Yunshan, he bowed down from a distance, and only stepped forward after Yunshan greeted him, saying, "See the general", Guan Ping had a very good impression of him, and said with a smile :
"I don't know why Brother Wen Lie came here in person. We are all a family. How polite."

Cao Xiu was not promoted much when Cao Cao was alive. Although Cao Cao trusted Cao Xiu very much, he did not promote Cao Xiu to the general of the army at all. He has been with Cao Xiu for a long time (from 190 AD) Cao Pi ate and lived together, and later he was just a cavalry guard. He didn't join Cao Hong's army until he competed with Liu Bei for Hanzhong in history. This is probably because he was too deeply involved with Cao Pi. , Cao Cao, who didn't like Cao Pi, didn't bother to use him by the way.

But now everything is different.

Cao Pi likes this clan brother who is ten years older than himself very much, and has already promoted him to the rank of captain of cavalry, and his prosperity is just today.

Cao Xiu is much older than Yunshan, and he is also Cao Pi's confidant, but he knows the significance of Yunshan, and he doesn't put on the airs of his relatives at all, and says with a pleasant face:
"General Yun looks good, he is really a hero.

Today's scenery is just right, how about asking a general to hunt? "

Winter has passed, and it is now the spring of the 15th year of Jian'an. It stands to reason that everything sprouts in spring, and many animals begin to come out to look for food. It is indeed suitable for a spring search. This is also the most common way for children of the wealthy family to communicate.

But Cao Xiu is fully equipped with armor, and he doesn't look like a hunter at all. It is possible to kill Yunshan directly in the suburbs while hunting.

After all, when hunting, everyone's arrows fly randomly, and it is predictable to miss for a while.

Guan Ping did not hesitate at all, he nodded and said:

"Okay, I'm new to Xudu, and I'm not familiar with the place, so please take care of me, Wen Lie."

There was a hint of admiration in Cao Xiu's eyes, and he got on the horse with Guan Ping. Guan Ping only brought a dozen or so followers, and followed Cao Xiu to leave Xudu and ran out of the city.

Asking Yunshan to go hunting at this juncture was also the best way Cao Zhen and Sima Yi could come up with after discussing anxiously.

Cao Pi was angry, and if even Cao Zhen didn't listen to him, he would be even angrier and do even more irrational things.

The two hurriedly mobilized troops with great fanfare, expressing that they would arrest Yunshan and put him in prison, and at the same time quickly notified Cao Xiu to take Yunshan to hunt.

We went, but Yunshan wasn't there, so it shouldn't be a problem to find it slowly, right?

Taking advantage of this gap, Sima Yi hurried to Cao Pi's mansion to mediate in person, hoping to calm Cao Pi down a bit.

Cao Pi was incompetent and furious in the mansion, and almost knocked down all the furnishings in front of him. He walked around with his hands behind his back, and roared like a beast from time to time, which made the resourceful Sima Yi not know how to speak for a while.

"King Wei..."

"Go, go and take Yunshan down for me, I'm pissed off, I'm pissed off!"

"King Wei!" Sima Yi said bitterly, "Even if you want to punish Tanzhi for his crimes, there must be a reason. Tanzhi returned from victory, physically and mentally exhausted, and it was King Wei who asked him to stay in Xudu, and he took the initiative to hand over his subordinates. Soldiers and horses, isn't this a loyal man?

If he is sent to prison, how should he explain this to the world?Besides, the king of Wei is going to do big things now, and there are many dissenters in the court, so why bother with Yunshan at this moment?

In my opinion, it is better to follow it for now. It is obviously a good thing that he is willing to be an official in the court. "

Cao Pi's personality is really difficult for ordinary people to guess. He really wants to take away Yunshan's military power, but after Yunshan expresses that he doesn't want military power, he insists on giving it to Yunshan, but he just doesn't want to let him get what he wants.But his temper came and went quickly. After smashing things, he had calmed down a little. The reason for this was actually waiting for a step down.

Sima Yi happened to give him a step, Cao Pi's expression softened a little, and he said in a deep voice:
"Hmph, I just don't feel angry! This Yun Tanzhi was on good terms with Zijian before, and now he is the king of Wei, he, he doesn't want to be loyal, how can I be reconciled to this?
He clearly felt that he was good at using soldiers and I couldn't get away from him, so he deliberately threatened.

Hmph, the country's affairs are difficult, but he wants to enjoy the beauty in peace, how can Gu be willing to do this? "

Sima Yi was very speechless.

He used to think that Cao Pi was pretty good to his friends after a while, and that was all.

But he is the king of Wei, and he wants to inherit Cao Cao's behest, seize the Han family, and become the future founder of the country.

The founding lords of the past are not great talents, Cao Pi is far behind Cao Cao in civil and military skills, and is extremely narrow-minded and moody. Such a person can climb to the supreme position step by step, which shows that the so-called destiny is nothing more than that.

Why can't my Sima family do what their Cao family can do?I am at least better than Cao Zihuan...

Sima Yi was taken aback suddenly - no, what was I thinking.

He quickly lowered his head and said quickly:
"Since Tan Zhi doesn't want to command the army, it's better to let him serve as the central guard..."

"Let him be the guard?" Cao Pi wished he could fight the case immediately - this is an important position to command the forbidden army with the leader of the central army, so it's fine if it's handed over to Yunshan.

Sima Yi smiled wryly and said:
"Zi Huan! Don't be like this, Tan Zhi is one of his own anyway, and...and there are a few important things recently, it is just inconvenient for Zi Huan to take action, so you can leave it to him.

Wouldn't it be a good thing to keep him from doing nothing as he pleases? "

"What can he do?" Cao Pi said sullenly, "Uh, what about Zang Ba?"

"That's right." Sima Yi patiently enlightened the not very enlightened King Wei, "The matter of Zang Ba and the previous treason case of Geng Ji and Wei Huang must be dealt with one by one. Fame is quite unfavorable, it is better to let Yunshan take care of it, what will happen in the future..."

"Not bad!"

Before Sima Yi finished speaking, Cao Pi was overjoyed and clapped his hands suddenly.

He even ran up to Sima Yi, hugged Sima Yi's neck and shook vigorously, making Sima Yi stunned for a while.

"I, minister, I..."

"Hahahaha, hahaha, Zhongda knows me, or Zhongda knows me! Okay, that's it! That's how it should be! Call me Yunshan back, I'll let him! I'll let him stay in Xudu! Haha Ha ha ha ha……"

A high-ranking person would actually dangle around the neck of his subordinates in excitement...

It is true that Sima Yi was beaten by Cao Pi. Beads of sweat kept dripping from his forehead, and he said with a wry smile:
"As long as King Wei is satisfied."

Cao Pi was in a good mood, and he didn't notice that Sima Yi's face was already ugly and scary.

Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, was very loyal. When Dong Zhuo died, the whole world was celebrating. Only Sima Fang sighed because Dong Zhuo was good to him, but he was almost reported to death.

This matter made Sima Yi always cautious, hiding all kinds of thoughts in the deepest part of his heart, and honed his acting skills very well. He kept telling himself that he and Cao Pi were good friends, and he should assist Cao Pi to do great things.

But another voice in his heart kept telling him that the current Caos and his sons are even more vicious than Dong Zhuo in those days. fate.

People have to leave a way out for themselves, and they can't be loyal like a father.

Leaving Cao Pi's mansion, the cold wind blew the sweat off Sima Yi's head. He collected himself and wanted to go home directly, but asked his servants in a strange way:

"By the way, where does Xu Shu live?

do not know?Oh, I just inquired casually, it’s okay, let’s go home! "

·
Guan Ping and Cao Xiu chased and hunted outside the city of Xudu, and they were in a good mood.

Cao Xiu has been observing Yunshan cautiously, seeing his calm demeanor without any fear at all, and he doesn't know whether this person is really brave and fearless, or just a reckless guy, he has not understood the current situation at all.

Before Cao Pi said several times to take away the military power of Yunshan and let Cao Xiu take over the major affairs, Cao Xiu was also a little moved, but his reason told him that now the great Wei has not completely killed the crumbling Han Empire, and both Yunshan and Cao Zhi have to Let's unite for the time being and don't attack them casually.

He patiently accompanied Yunshan in hunting, drove the prey to the vicinity of Yunshan, and did not fight or grab it at all, fulfilling a supporting responsibility.

A few soldiers came to report to Cao Xiu. It should be that Cao Pi had calmed down. Cao Xiu was relieved and said with a smile:
"It's getting late, why don't I come to host tonight, how about sharing the lamp with General Yun?"

Guan Ping laughed and said:
"A certain drinker is extremely poor. I'm afraid I'll make Wen Lie laugh at me. Let's take a rest today and go hunting with Wen Lie another day?"

Cao Xiu was just making room for Guan Ping, but he didn't force him. He asked people to load the prey to Yunshan and send it back to the post house. Then he rode his horse closer and said with a smile:
"Does General Yun know that something big happened in Xudu?"

"There have been too many major events in Xudu recently, and I don't know what is considered a major event. I ask Wen Lie for advice."

"I don't dare to teach you." Cao Xiu said in a low voice, "Wei Wang has three serious problems in his heart. He is far away in Hanzhong and Jingzhou, and he is near Qingzhou and Xuzhou. I don't know what I said. Can General Yun remember?"

For Cao Zhi in Hanzhong, Yunshan had privately awarded the army to him in order to play a role at critical moments.

Now Cao Zhi claims to be ordered by Cao Cao to attack Zhang Lu and cannot return to the funeral. Cao Pi will not dare to deal with him for a while, so he can only keep looking for people to be weird, trying to give him some moral blows.

Jingzhou's opponents were talking about Liu Bei on the surface, but they were actually referring to Le Jin, who was too big to lose, and Huo Jun, who was in ambush in the deep mountains.

This Cao Pi is not easy to solve for a while.

At the same time, there is a big hidden danger around him-before Qingzhou soldiers heard about Cao Cao's death, they felt that Cao Pi could no longer control the situation, and fled back to their hometown one after another.

Their leader, Zang Ba, has an ambiguous attitude and has not shown signs of complete surrender to Cao Pi so far.

Cao Pi's heart can't accommodate Yunshan, let alone Zang Ba. Now he wants to deal with this person, but he is afraid that he will cause internal disputes by himself.

Therefore, he handed over the matter to Yunshan for disposal.

Didn't Yunshan not want to lead troops and wanted to stay in Xudu forever?

Just in time, you go and have a good talk with Zang Ba, such a simple task should not be difficult for Yunshan.
