The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 281 Son of Plane, Cao Zhen?
"Huh? Jian'an character?"

Cao Pi laughed angrily at the brazen words. He glanced back and forth at Cao Zhi and Chen Lin twice, then turned around, and quickly pulled out a long knife from the waist of Yi Suwei behind him, and then turned towards Cao Zhi and Chen Lin under everyone's gaze. Chen Lin waved it out.

"puff!"

With a flash of cold light, Chen Lin's head immediately moved, and the blood was like a fountain, making everyone tremble in fright.

Soon, the whole room was filled with a horrible smell of blood.

Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment looking at the blood all over the floor, and as the smell of blood became stronger, his wine also sobered up in an instant.

"You...how can you act like this?"

Tears flowed down the corners of his eyes unconsciously.

Cao Zhi's gentleness is exuded from his bones. Since he was a child, he didn't like to fight for power. Although he is Cao Cao's son, he has never seen any bloody scenes, let alone murder.

Seeing such a bloody scene suddenly, it is inevitable to be a little dazed.

Especially when he sobered up, the way he looked at his second brother changed instantly.

"How...how can this be done?"

"He's human! How can you—"

Cao Zhi, who had regained his composure slightly, roared loudly, but before he could finish his roar, a cold white light flashed again.

Cao Pi swung the long knife again, but this time it was the back of the knife instead of the blade that hit the opponent.

With a sound of "Pa!", the back of the knife left a heavy blood mark on Cao Zhi's face.

This action scared the group of guards behind him so much that even Sima Yi couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.

He almost thought that the two brothers Cao Zhi and Cao Pi were about to stage a scene of brotherhood.

Right now, it seems that Cao Pi still knows how to do things properly, even when he was extremely angry, he never killed his brother.

Of course, the corresponding Cao Zhi seemed to him to be really stupid. Not only did he not make any achievements, but his life was a mess. He was so stupid.

"Do you still remember what your father said to you before he passed away? Also remember how you promised repeatedly at your father's bedside that you would live up to his expectations and make contributions to the great man and Cao Wei?"

Looking at Cao Zhi who was so frightened and dared not speak anymore, Cao Pi was even more angry in his heart.

But he knew that this was not a good time to "clean up" his younger brother, so he showed a heartbroken, tearful expression, trembling his lips, and began to develop his acting skills.

"Do you know what your last name is? Do you know that the third brother was almost killed when he was chasing black and white riders outside, and the general returned to Chang'an?"

"You don't know anything, and you don't care about anything. Except for drinking and having fun all day long, you never think about others. Now that my uncle is playing around with me, instead of helping to make suggestions, you even held a banquet with everyone. , do you still have the heart?"

As he said that, he inserted the long knife in his hand heavily into the copybook, and continued: "I ask you to be serious, now that my father has passed away, we will have no one to help except ourselves, let alone help you out, Cao Zijian !"

"Do you think you can still be that innocent and carefree child after your father leaves? What about your dream?"

The more he talked, the more angry Cao Pi kicked the other party, and then said loudly: "If I had known that you would become such an unworthy person today, I should not have promoted you in the first place, let alone choose Working with you!"

"Ever since my father left, the Cao clan has been dissatisfied with my uncle Xi Yu, and tried repeatedly to force him to leave. The reason why I and him confronted each other has led to such a scene today. Do you know the reason?"

"It's not because he has a strong temper, and it's not because he's afraid of the huge Cao family and dare not make an enemy of it!"

Cao Pi didn't even intend to give the other party time to react, and said with a single brain: "But in fact, he just remembers the agreement with his father all the time."

"If not, why do you think that he, who had laid many backhands in the city of Chang'an a few years ago, would only kill some small and big officials after snatching away the emperor, and then let go after spreading some rumors? leave?"

"Besides, the recent changes between Cao Wei and the impact of the closure of the canal are all related to my uncle. Don't you understand these things?"

"You are obviously ignorant, but you still want to use limited resources to recite poems here to fight against you, to put your love between mountains and rivers, and do nothing. You are a son of man in vain!"

"Let me warn you, if you dare to hold such useless banquets again, get the hell out of here, and be a good showman in front of the whole city!"

"..."

He reprimanded the crazy output, and the anger in Cao Zhi's heart gradually disappeared, followed by panic.

His lifeless eyes, coupled with his teary face, bright red and swollen cheeks, and the blood slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth, made him look extraordinarily miserable.

But none of the people present dared to move, let alone persuade.

Of course, compared to him, the literati who participated in the banquet were the ones who were most afraid.

With Chen Lin as a lesson from the past, they didn't even have the courage to stay in this room to breathe. The few who were less courageous had their legs trembling like chaff.

They can't wait to escape from this room in the next second, but they all know that if there is any movement at the moment, Cao Pi will see it, and their lives will be in danger.

Therefore, they dare not, even if the two are fighting, their heartbeats speed up, they dare not make any movement, and even their breathing slows down again and again.

"I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know, but you should know what the scene in Chang'an is like now. The people are panic-stricken, and even the weather is not so bright."

"After next year's spring plowing, the people in the whole territory and even the army will not be able to secure food, but you still come here to drink and have fun, express some useless articles, and even dare to mention Jian'an's character, are you worthy?"

"From today onwards, if you dare to come here again to have fun, beware of my ruthlessness, Chen Lin is a lesson for you!"

Cao Pi held the blood-stained knife, looked coldly at the other literati, and then said calmly, "Sima Yi!"

"I am humble!"

As soon as Sima Yi heard his name, his heart trembled three times, and he immediately bowed and took a step forward.

This is the first time he has seen Cao Pi like this. He thought he was following a refined and easy-going master, but now it seems that the other party just wanted him to think so.

The impressions of the two parties in each other's eyes have been solidified for a long time, so seeing the completely different performance today, they seem so frightened.

"You order someone to hang Chen Lin's head on the city gate, and tell the people why he died. I will use his head to calm the hearts of the people!"

"In addition, the order continues. From today onwards, the whole city will be under curfew. Those who do not return home in the middle of the night will be regarded as secret sentries, assassins, and people with malicious intentions. Kill them!"

"promise!"

Sima Yi hurriedly nodded in agreement, not daring to have the slightest objection.

After this incident, he figured it out. The main purpose of Cao Pi's doing this was not only to educate Cao Zhi, but also to shift the focus.

If you want the common people to forget all the gossip, the robbery of the emperor, the assassination of assassins, etc., they have to cover up with another question to divert everyone's attention.

The current Chen Lin is the best example.

His death, coupled with the curfew, can not only divert the attention of the people, but also deter those in the clan who only know how to enjoy themselves all day long without making any achievements.

······
In just one night, as usual, what happened in General Zhonglang's mansion might have been spread all over the streets and alleys, but today there is still no movement.

After all, Cao Pi's means and determination have scared everyone present, even if it is for his own life, no one dares to talk about it, let alone spread it out, even in private.

Sure enough, in troubled times, the person with the most right to speak will always be the one with power!

As long as you have power, everything is easier than ordinary people!
······
Xuzhou, Xiapi!
Since the black cavalry returned to the army, Xi Yu ordered people to count the casualties. After this battle, more than [-] people died.

As for Yin Hao and other hundreds of dark chess lurking in Chang'an, only more than 70 people came back.

For the black knight, the casualties are not insignificant...
Xi Yu rushed to the camp in person and met Zhao Zilong.

For a veteran as tough as Zhao Zilong, there were clearly visible scars on his body, arms, and even his hands.

Some of them were knife wounds that hadn't healed yet, and some of them were frostbite that looked bruised and purple, but no matter what they were, they were so shocking.

This is the result of having been seen by those highly skilled doctors in the medical center jointly opened by Mr. Hua Tuo and Mr. Zhong Jing.

The medical officers stayed in the camp for a day and a night before treating all the wounds on the black knights.

At this moment, Xi Yu and Zhao Zilong had the time to talk.

The two sat by the campfire and chatted while warming the fire.

"My lord, speaking of it, I was able to successfully complete the mission this time and return safely thanks to the people in Yanzhou City."

"Oh?"

Xi Yu was a little surprised, and said, "What? But something went wrong in the plan?"

"That doesn't count."

Zhao Zilong thought for a while, then shook his head, and continued: "It's just... I almost won't be able to come back."

"The enemy took the lead in ambushing nearly [-] troops in Luoyang. The commander was Xia Houchun. It is estimated that because of the truce in Jizhou and the territory is still stable, they got up and hibernated in Luoyang, waiting for the opportunity, trying to give us a heavy blow when there is a chance. .”

"But I never wanted to be met by us. In addition, the [-] troops behind Cao Zhen led a tight grip, and the battle was once stalemate. Speaking of that kid Cao Zhen, it is probably because the deputy general was killed by us, so the battle was almost impossible. Don't be too cruel."

"But fortunately, with the help of the common people, they not only gave us food and grass, but even opened the gate of the city secretly. Only in this way can we be considered as retired."

"But even so, you have suffered heavy losses!"

Xi Yu didn't expect that there would be this one among them, and laughed a little bit bitterly after hearing it.

Zhao Zilong also nodded, and after a long while sighed deeply, he said, "That's right, this is the first time that the black knight has suffered such a big trauma since it was built."

"I don't know what's going on with that kid Cao Zhen. I'm so lucky. I almost hurt him several times, but I couldn't kill him!"

"luck?"

Xi Yu, who was inexplicably attracted by these two words, couldn't help recalling some rumors in the previous world.

At that time, on the Internet, there were many people talking about many things in the last years of the Western Han Dynasty.

Among them, the most conspicuous ones are Wang Mang, known as the "traveler" and Liu Xiu, the "son of the plane".

Speaking of which, as a true time traveler, could he also be a child of this world's plane?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

What are you thinking?It's enough that he can come to this world. If he is really a child of the plane, it would be too exaggerated.

Having said that, he somehow feels that in this world, there really is such a thing as luck. Of course, Xi Yu is not so narcissistic that he thinks that person must be him.

It's just that... now the strength of the big Han Liu family is basically exhausted, and now the only ones who are still qualified to be emperors are probably the Cao family.

In today's Cao family, apart from Cao Pi, a short-lived ghost, Cao Zhi, a fool who puts his love on poetry and poetry, and Cao Zhang, a reckless man who doesn't understand variables, the only one who can be looked up to by others is probably Cao Zhen.

Speaking of which, although this guy is Cao, he is the youngest famous general in the Cao family, but in fact, he has nothing to do with the Cao family, and his father is not a member of the Cao family, but a general under Cao Cao. .

At the beginning, his father, Qin Shao, had a good relationship with Cao Cao, and later sacrificed himself to save Cao Cao. In order to commemorate this man, Cao Cao took Cao Zhen and his mother into the clan, changed their surnames to Cao, and took care of them as their own children. .

This kid is also competitive, he has good martial arts at a young age, not only strong but also courageous and resourceful, he once went into the deep mountains alone, and shot and killed a tiger with a bow and arrow.

Because of this, he gained a little fame, which laid a certain foundation for him to enlist in the army and lead the army.

When the Hexi Corridor was pacified, he was even appointed as the coach of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and beat Hu Han's rebels without the slightest temper.

Since then, after decades of severing diplomatic relations with the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions finally broke through the barriers between the two sides under his battle. Since then, Liangzhou's business has become more and more prosperous.

In addition to these, the kid Cao Zhen is also considered a moderate figure in the biography of the Three Kingdoms.

Of course, he is not a hero in it, but a piece of trash, a trash with endless luck.

Because of an accident with his father, he was brought back to the Cao family by Cao Cao. He was named the Marquis of Lingshouting because of the crusade against the bandits in Lingqiu. Moved to the general of the Chinese army, to the matter...
It can be seen from this that his road to advancement was smooth sailing. Even in the end, Cao Pi was seriously ill, accepted the will, and became one of the auxiliary ministers. The people of Linghou are also him!

Although in the end he was forced to hand over the general power to Sima Yi because of his defeat in the land of Shu Han, thereby fulfilling the opponent's wolf ambition, but he himself also ended up with a good start and a good end, and was even sought after by later generations.

Recalling the many rumors about Cao Zhen, Xi Yu felt that he had to be more cautious. After all, if he only believed the description in the book, he was afraid that Cao Zhen would not have anything outstanding except good luck.

But in fact, if he can kill a tiger, it shows that he has a good force value, and being able to win so many battles also shows that he has a brain.

How could such a brave and resourceful existence be what the book said?
Thinking about it this way, this kid has the possibility of being a son of a plane, but... it shouldn't be!

After all, even though he fought bravely and had extraordinary strategies, he was defeated in the end. I may have ignored the strength of this son before, but he was not as good as the son of the plane.

I really don't know who the son of the plane in this world is...
If you are friends with yourself, it must be a good thing, but if you are enemies... I'm afraid it will be somewhat troublesome.

Existence like Liu Xiu, I really hope not to appear in front of me.

Thinking of these dramas, Yu couldn't help frowning, it's really an eventful time.

Cao Zhen's luck was really good. Aside from the number of times Zilong shot him this time, Huang Xu did not miss the killer last time, but in the end he escaped alive.

It seems that I have to find a way to deal with this guy.

After all, Cao Ren and Xia Houchun were both old, and the person who would succeed them in commanding Cao Jun would most likely be Cao Zhen. Although he was in his prime, he was still old compared to that kid.

Although it is said that every time a battle is fought, the system will improve the physical condition, making one's force value and even the physique stronger, but... as the age grows, these blessings have become more and more powerful. small.

Especially in terms of force value, it has almost stagnated in recent years.

On the other hand, the blessings of physique and other aspects have prolonged his prime of life for a long time, even now, he is like a young man.

This also means that my life expectancy will be much longer than that of people in this era, and it also shows that I have enough time and patience to make plans.

"Okay, the war has been decided, the emperor has returned, don't think about these issues anymore, let's take a good rest and recuperate, and then... let's see the movement of that little Cao Pi."

No longer thinking about those temporarily unrealistic things, Xi Yu shook his head, turned to look at Zilong with a smile and said, "Do you know that I took in three more concubines some time ago?"

"Huh? Na... a concubine?"

Zhao Zilong was stunned for a moment in surprise, and then showed an envious expression.

As expected of the lord, this charm is unmatched!
"That's right, taking a concubine. As the lord, I naturally have to consider everyone, and it is very necessary to spread my branches and leaves!"

Xi Yu said seriously, and then he asked jokingly: "How is it? Would you like to? I'll find some for you later? This way, even if you are injured, you can have someone by your side to take care of it, which is just convenient for you to cultivate."

"Okay! Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zilong's mouth parted, and his smile was extraordinarily bright.

Although he was almost surrounded by the enemy in Yanzhou and couldn't get out, but fortunately, it was all over. Not only did he successfully rescue the emperor, but he also brought most of his brothers back safely. That's enough!
