Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 73
In Yangdi, Yingchuan County, Cao Cao was still recovering from his wounds.

But it can be regarded as having passed the dangerous period. Although the left hand is useless, as long as the life is saved, it will be great. After the doctor confirmed it, everyone felt relieved.

In the Han Dynasty, there was no solution to the infection of wounds such as knife wounds. People who were injured on the battlefield basically had their own life and death. The abscess can be squeezed out forcibly, and there is no anesthesia during the period, the pain can be imagined, the key point is that it may not be cured after suffering...

It was not until Hua Tuo's "Mafeisan" came out that he had the only choice.

But Hua Tuo is not here now, and even if Hua Tuo has invented Mafeisan, the speed of popularization is very slow. Xiahou Dun who is beside Cao Cao does not know that Hua Tuo can cure...

Therefore, Cao Cao escaped from the dangerous period purely because of good luck. Of course, there are also reasons for his good nutrition and martial arts training. He was not infected at all. Anyway, the result is good.

In addition, Xia Houyuan, who got the news, brought people here immediately, and the safety of the group was also guaranteed.

At that time, Xiahou Dun had very few people around him, so he didn't dare to stay in the inn again. In desperation, he asked the Xun family for help. Out of courtesy, Xun Yu arranged a small independent house for them to stay in, and arranged for several guards to guard them.

Now with the protection of fifty guards and Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan, Cao Cao's uneasy heart gradually calmed down.In addition to being injured in this attack, Cao Cao's psychology was also greatly affected...

When he just woke up, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and laughed. Xiahou Dun and others were very puzzled, and only heard Cao Cao say:

"Looking closely at the past and the present, there should be an unworldly hero, or a worldly genius, and only then would there be a jealous man who will stab you! Hahaha..."

In fact, there were not many assassinations in the Han Dynasty. Since Jing Ke assassinated Qin, this kind of behavior without martial ethics has become more and more frequent.

There are indeed many assassinations that changed the direction of history. For example, in another time and space, Chen Wang Liu Chong died at the hands of the assassin Zhang Kai, Jiangdong Sun Ce died at the hands of the assassin Xu Gongmenke, Shu Han Fei Yi died at the hands of the assassin Guo Xiu, and Kebi Neng died. In the hands of the assassin Han Long.

And these are all recorded in history, and the rest of the assassinations buried in the dark are countless.

However, after all the laughs, Cao Cao thought again after laughing, and his already suspicious character was completely aroused, and too many people were suspicious at once...

But no matter how difficult it is, Cao Cao has to find the murderer, because no matter what the reason for the murderer is, as long as he uses this method to make a move, he will be in a state of immortality!

In addition, the assassin was shooting with a crossbow at that time, which is not available to ordinary people. According to Xiahou Dun, there was no one else around. From this, it can be seen that the assassin is not an ordinary ranger who collects gold and works hard for his life, but a dead soldier who has received strict training , and the people behind it are not simple.

If the other party is still lurking in the dark, then he and Cao's Xiahou family will never find peace. The more Cao Cao thinks about it, the more troublesome he becomes, and he doesn't even listen to Xiahouyuan's words of comfort.

"Yuan Rang, you quickly sent someone back to the mansion in hemp, saying that a certain sore was festering and died... just write another letter to report the situation and let him send it to my father secretly. Miaocai, hurry up and prepare a good coffin , the guards were ordered to carry the coffin in plain clothes and filial piety, and a certain one hid in the car on the way back."

Cao Cao really didn't have a clue, so he came up with this golden silkworm's plan to get rid of its shell, and immediately told the two to do it, and planned to secretly observe the attitudes of each family at that time.

"Meng De, you can't do it! The cart is bumpy and you're on a long journey, I'm afraid the sores will recur!"

Xia Houyuan immediately shook his head and refused.

"Needless to say, a mere minor injury is no problem, you wait to prepare quickly, don't miss the opportunity!"

----

The next day, after rough preparations by Xia Hou and his wife, Cao Cao and others set off from Xun's small house to go home...

Along the way, Cao Cao could only hide in the car and could not show his face. At night, when everyone was resting, he could do some activities.

After relaxing his muscles and bones, Cao Cao called Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan to discuss again.

Contrary to the cognition of many later generations, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are not brothers, they are only of the same family, and they are related by blood. The personal relationship between the two may not even be as good as the personal relationship with Cao Cao...

Xiahou Dun is the main branch of the clan, a strong contender for the next Xiahou Patriarch, and one of the few people in Xiahou's family who has both civil and military skills. Of course, the level of cultivation...

Xia Houyuan is different. He can be regarded as the outstanding fighter among the younger generation of Xiahou clan. Worshiping Cao Cao, the two are regarded as childhood friends, as long as Cao Cao returns to the clan, he will be inseparable by his side.

However, Cao Cao didn't alienate Xia Houdun because Xia Houyuan was close to him, because he felt that Xiahou Dun could understand the meaning of what he did best among the few people, and if there were things to arrange, he could better achieve the effect Cao Cao wanted.

So this time Cao Cao only brought Xiahoudun to Yingchuan, and of course it was also because he wanted to come to Yingchuan Academy to meet with the great scholars of the Xun family, and he was worried that bringing the reckless Xiahouyuan would lose Cao's face...

But who would have thought that he would be assassinated by an assassin before meeting the Great Confucianist, and only then did he realize that he needed Xia Houyuan's armed protection...

"Yuan Rang, who do you think sent this assassin?"

When Cao Cao saw the two entering the room, he asked, he wanted to see if Xiahou Dun had any different opinions.

"To tell you the truth, Meng De, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time but I still haven't got what I want. If it is said that our secret things have been leaked, I just need to produce evidence and hand it over to the imperial court, and I won't do this kind of assassination plan..."

Xiahou Dun also replied helplessly, he also had no clue.

"Yuan Rang's words are reasonable. Liu Bo'an, governor of Qiao County, is an upright and modest man, so he will definitely not do such a bad thing. As for the others..."

Cao Cao began to fall into thinking again while talking.

"It must be a shameless person who is envious of my brother's talent and sees him as a threat, so he sends minions to stab him!"

The two were quiet, but Xia Houyuan, who didn't want to be anxious, said without thinking.

"Hehe, um..., Miaocai's unintentional words are also possible..."

Xia Houyuan's words suddenly enlightened Cao Cao, but if this is the case, wouldn't it be even more difficult to find the murderer!

In the Han Dynasty, there were no tools such as video surveillance, and even the appearance of criminals could only be described through unreliable portraits and language. With the help of professional killers and the forces behind them, if you want to catch the murderer It's harder than climbing to the sky...

Cao Cao thought for a while and still had no idea, so he decided to use a stupid method to observe the situation of each family first, and then make plans...

"Forget it, it's useless for me to waste time thinking here. Now it's better to stay unchanged. Yuan Rang, after you go back, you will gather the children and guards of your clan and choose someone with good martial arts background to hand over to Miaocai. Miaocai should be practiced." A group of dead men are waiting for the future..."
