Chapter 1956: Chess game

Cao Cao ascended the throne in Luoyang, then transferred the royal capital to Luoyang and took the crown prince Cao Pi to settle in the royal capital.
The Sima clan has been destroyed by Cao Cao. Cao Pi had a close relationship with the Sima family. Therefore, when Cao Cao killed Sima, Cao Pi interceded but was sent to prison by Cao Cao.
Originally thought that he was not a prince, he did not expect that Cao Cao did not embarrass him. He was released half a year later, and he was still the prince. Cao Pi no longer dared to show any disobedience in front of Cao Cao. Because the Sima clan extermination incident is really weird, everyone can't figure out Cao Cao's thoughts, so they dare not approach Cao Pi. How can Cao Pi come up with Cao Cao's thoughts?
In the Yuanzi Hall, Cao Cao is sitting on a Tukang with his eyes closed.
This kang is not the kind in the homes of the descendants of ordinary people. It looks more luxurious. However, there is a room at the back where you can burn wood, and the heat can rush back and forth in the gap, making the bed rise and heat up, so it is naturally a kang.
Cao Cao had seen this kind of structure when he went to fight in the north, and he imitated it after he built the palace in Luoyang.
It is still spring, and the sky in Luoyang is not too warm. Sitting on the kang is naturally comfortable and warm. This year Cao Cao is already an old man in his sixties, and there are few springs and autumns since his death. He has a perennial brain. With vascular disease, the body is much worse than last year.
Cao Pi escorted him in the seat below, and several generals were all accompanying him. Huang Xier was reporting the battle on the front line.
Perhaps Cao Cao was a little tired, his eyes remained open, and he didn't make a sound when no one was talking in the room, and he lowered his head as if he was asleep.
Everyone in the room looked at each other and didn't dare to speak. However, it was Cao Cao who asked them to discuss the matter today, and no one dared to leave casually.
After a full ten minutes of silence, Cao Cao finally sneezed.
"Snee!"
"Father, are you still in good health? How about letting the courtiers retreat, and your majesty must rest and rest? Your majesty has worked too hard for the affairs of the state in recent days!"
Cao Pi stepped forward to care about Cao Cao. Cao Cao seemed to become sober because of Cao Pi's words. He opened his eyes and looked around, then said with a faint smile on his face:
"Haha, yesterday I called the vegetable farmer girl into the dormitory to serve, and she sang a melodious little song, which is really pleasing. I played with her too late, so I don’t have much energy today. You laughed!"
The so-called Cai Nong is Cao Cao's imperial vegetable grower, and he is also a capable man who fiddles with seasonal vegetables in the palace.
And his little daughter is only fourteen years old this year. She is beautiful and enchanting. Cao Cao discovered this newly grown girl when she was passing by the vegetable garden half a month ago. So she let her wait in the palace without giving any name. Minute.
The vegetable farmer didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his daughter following Cao Cao, who was almost 60 years old, and hoped that her daughter could become Cao Cao's new favorite as soon as possible. It would be perfect to seal a wife or something.
It's a pity that Cao Cao is now lacking in energy. He can still show his glory when he is in good condition for three hundred and sixty-five days a year. Most of the time he has no energy and can chat with the little girl.
Kou'er was boiling water in the corner of the room, when he suddenly heard that Cao Cao had mentioned his name, he immediately ran back and bowed to the ground.
"Your Majesty, do you call me?"
"Haha, this girl's ears are pretty good, but unfortunately I still didn't hear what I said! Okay, didn't I tell you yesterday? You don't need to kneel! Come and sit here."
While speaking, Cong Cao beckoned to Kou'er very kindly. Kou'er's face turned red. He looked at several royal ministers nearby. After hesitating, he ran forward and climbed up the Kang, then took Cao Cao's hand and sat down. In his arms.
This scene scared everyone. The ancients paid attention to whether men and women were taught or not. Now Cao Cao actually embraces a little girl in front of people. What style is this?
Jia Xu is now more than 60 years old. He has followed Cao Cao for many years and has been sleek and low-key. Now that he sees Cao Cao holding a girl in front of everyone, he finally can't see it, so he stands up and prepares to see him.
Cao Cao raised his head to see Jia Xu leaving the queue, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, his hand was raised to stop what he was about to say, and then he said:
"Everyone, I, Cao Cao, have fought countless battles over the years, but I have lost my faith these days. You can all say, in the current situation, where should I go, Wei?"
When this sentence came out, everyone in the room was stunned.
Even though the war in the north was unfavorable, the authority of the pavilion collapsed, but the foundation of Wei was not there yet. Why did Cao Cao say this?
At this moment, soldiers ran in from outside the temple, and received a letter from the Heavenly Son of Beihan.
"What? A letter from the Northern Han Dynasty Holy Son?"
Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly pushed away the buttons beside him and got off the bed quickly.
A palace man by his side immediately took the letter and handed it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao opened it and read it.
Qin An's letter is grammatically nonsense, and the content is beyond description.
"I am Qin An, the Heavenly Son of the Northern Han Dynasty. Now I want to discuss with Cao Gong about the future of Wei. What I said is the separation of military and government. If you agree, you will give me all the soldiers and horses of Wei. After the defense of Wei's land I am also responsible! Then I will not take care of other things in your land. You are the boss of the government affairs! If you agree to anything, you can say anything, if you disagree, I will marry all your wives and daughters! Then you will His son will also change his surname, and I will let them call others
father
! Don’t say this, Cao Gong thinks carefully, whether you compromise or not, I will always win, maybe we can meet in Luoyang in less than a month Go! The Son of Heaven, Qin An, autographed it!"
After reading it, Cao Cao was stunned for a while, then his angry face was pale and his beard was fluttering. He immediately moved his hands and tore the letter to pieces.
Jia Xu and others didn’t know what was written in the letter, and why they made the lord’s angry look like this. After a long time, Cao Cao calmed down and finally sneered:
Well, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have written letters to me before, but Now he deceives me too much, but I can no longer be bullied by this!"
"Father! What did the thief say in the letter? But did you mention the ladies?"
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and there was a slight uncertainty in his eyes.
He paced back and forth for a while and thought about it, and suddenly said to the palace, "Come on, ask someone to stitch this letter together, and show my ministers how the Heavenly Son of the Northern Han Dynasty insulted me!"
The palace people didn't dare to neglect, they came quickly and knelt down on the ground to pick them up, and then went to splice it. It took three hours to restore the letter, and then glued it together.
Cao Pi and the ministers gathered around to look around, and after a while, they were all indignant.
"This guy is really shameless, marrying a wife and daughter is like a beast!"
"No morality! No morality! Even dare to call himself the Son of Heaven!"
"Master, I am willing to go to the north to kill this son and rescue all the ladies, sons, and misses!"
"Yes, lord, they are deceiving people too much. I suggest mobilizing the soldiers of the country to avenge this humiliation!"
The generals are all deep-fried, and the old guys in Xiahou's family usually don't like to talk, so today they are indeed separated. The generals of the Cao family are even more radical.
The civil servants were also angry at this time, but they didn't yell much, they were just attacking the Heavenly Son, and they calmed down when the generals mentioned that they would send troops.
If you mobilize heavy troops to attack the north, what about the Shu Kingdom in the south?
Although the two countries have been repaired in name, the strength of Shu has grown. Even if it does not fight with the Northern Han Dynasty, it is estimated that it will no longer be their opponent. Should Shu be allowed to take advantage of it?
Cao Cao became more and more calm, pacing back and forth in the room, and did not participate in the angry discussions among the ministers.
After ten minutes, the other talents calmed down and then turned their eyes to Cao Cao.
This matter is actually a bit complicated. It involves the hostages of Cao Cao's family. Cao Cao must decide how to do it.
Cao Cao continued to pace the room for ten minutes, and finally sighed:
"This kid deceived me too much. However, the Northern Han Dynasty is powerful and has many foreigners. We are probably not rivals! The demon wolf also attacked many cities in the north of our country a few days ago, making the north a mess. Many refugees are here. Gathering towards Luoyang. I think that the demon wolf and those strangers may all come from the same place, which is what they call the crack of time and space, that is, from the future! Now everyone should understand that the reason for the power of Shu and the rise of the North Han is both Because of strangers, these two groups of strangers are opposites. They have irreconcilable contradictions. We have only been caught in the middle. We have only suffered... Humph, now this North Han child humiliates me, if I send troops instead Take their own humiliation. Zhang Liao is not their opponent. How many people in Wei State can compare to Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan?"
When everyone heard what Cao Cao said, they were a little surprised.
Operation Cao is the lord of a country. For so many years, he hasn't convinced anyone even in dangerous situations. What happened this time? I really don't want that Cao Aman to say this kind of words that will increase the power of others and destroy one's own momentum!
Because of the abnormality, everyone in the room did not dare to answer, waiting for Cao Cao to follow up.
Cao Cao paced in the room for a while, and then said: "So, I don't plan to go north, but go south! I will personally give a letter to Zhuge Kongming, don't the northern children want me to surrender to him? What else? Give him the military power and give me the power of Liu Xia! What a wish! Humph, even if the children of Cao Cao’s wife die, they can’t be humiliated with me! So, I’m going to Jingzhou!

What Cao Cao said really shocked people because they didn't understand what it meant.
Jia Xu hesitated and said, "What does the lord mean?"
"Don't understand? I want to move the nation's palace ministers, sergeants, civilians to the south, and merge with the soldiers of Shu!"
People are dumbfounded at this moment, the whole country migrated? Is Cao Cao crazy?
......
In April 212 AD, the army of the Northern Han Dynasty had advanced to the city of Hanoi, and more than 20 large cities in the northeast of the Wei Kingdom were all under the rule of the Northern Han Dynasty.
When the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Han Dynasty were surprised, most of the cities they passed by did not resist, because most of the defenders in the city had already withdrawn, and the men in the city were also taken away by Wei's forced conscription. After they assembled in Luoyang, they started to go south Go ahead, really want to defect to Liu Bei.
This was really unexpected. Everyone had never thought that Cao Cao would really go back to Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei. It was hard to believe.
At dusk, in the Prefect’s Mansion in Hanoi City, Qin Lang and Li Guangbei had just moved here. Now these two are also the two leaders of the Northern Expedition. Qin Jia sadly has been marching slowly in the rear while being responsible. Follow-up transportation of materials, while being responsible for the education of civilians who originally belonged to Wei State. In order to regain the hearts of the people, Liu Xie also traveled from Liaodong to Changshan.
The internal servants were busy in the prefect's mansion to clean up, and he didn't want to suddenly come two beautiful beauties in front of the mansion. Behind them was a strong man who seemed to be a servant.
The demon was really annoyed. She moved from the north to the central plains, and it took almost a month to find Qin An.
Qin An went to the front of the army for a while, and then wandered around again. I really don't know why he is so busy as the Marshal.
Finally chasing to Hanoi, Yaozi found out where the North Han army commander was staying, so he brought Da Qiao to find him directly.
Seeing several guards in front of the mansion gate, Da Qiao became nervous.
"Sister, do you really know the son of the day? We found so many places from the south to the north and from the north to the south, but to no avail. You also fought with people several times because of this. I always feel that this is not too good. it is good."
"Hmph, let you stay in that inn and take care of the children with Xu Yong, but you happened to follow. It's really troublesome."
"I... Am I not worried about you?"
Da Qiao was accustomed to being tempered by his younger sister. Today's Xiao Qiao is arrogant, and his temperament is not like the old Xiao Qiao at all, except that his face has not changed at all.
The demon child didn't want to talk nonsense with Da Qiao any more, and stepped forward to the palace gate.
"Stop...ah? Whose lady is this? She looks so beautiful?"
The soldier who was guarding the gate was tempted by the demon's beauty, and even raised his hand idiotically before and after stepping up, trying to pinch the demon's cheek.
How could the demon be willing to be touched by such an ordinary man, raising his hand to grab his arm and directly snap it off.
The soldier's painful baby screamed, and three other soldiers nearby hurriedly picked up weapons to guard, and then one of them ran into the mansion to call for someone. Within a short time, a dozen hardcover men were sent out to surround Da Qiao and the demon. among.
Da Qiao had already adapted to such a scene, and was not nervous, just followed closely behind the demon.
There was no expression on the demon's face, and he stood motionless.
At this time, a big man and a child from the mansion were afraid to come out. It was none other than Tan Erlang and Liu Erpang!
These two guys were unable to fight each other at first, but in the past month they became acquainted because of a second in their name, and they became a new year friend. Tan Erlang is the boss, Liu Erpang is the second child, and Qin An accidentally added another one. Great-grandson.
Originally, the two of them were playing chess inside the mansion gate. They were both stinky chess baskets, but they felt that they were unpredictable.
There is Shui Bingyue next to Erlang serving tea, water and fruits, and Liu Erpang also has a small bone beside him!
Speaking of it, Er Fat this kid really has a way of chasing girls, one word is sticky, two words are strong!
A female general in Ji Shang’s team, Ji Shang’s team has surrendered and is doing well in the Northern Han Army, so they have no objections and adapted to their new identity.
Only the small bones are the most depressed, because she has no freedom.
Er Fat used his identity and powerful force to turn the small bones into his imprisonment. He basically took it wherever he went, holding him to sleep even when sleeping.
At the beginning, Little Bones was not afraid. She was a child of the rivers and lakes, and she became a slave since she was a beggar. There was no concept of chastity at all, and she didn't feel anything when she was naked in front of men.
But Erpang is still a big boy, and his fundamental purpose is not to sleep with him, or maybe he doesn't know how to sleep like a river.
Therefore, even though Erpang sleeps with his small bones every night, he really can’t touch his hands. It makes the small bones get angry and helpless day by day, and they can’t escape, but they can’t even if they want to like cool little fat. Because it's just a child, there is still a gap in thinking consciousness.
In short, this kind of life has continued to this day.
"Haha, don't move! I'll walk!"
"Hey, you are here, brother, it seems you are going to lose!"
The little fat man threw a chess piece in a serious manner, and Erlang was dumbfounded, feeling that this move seemed really powerful and could not be cracked for a while.
Shui Bingyue is naturally a woman who is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can't help but laugh at the chess game.
She stepped aside and pulled the little bones over and said, "Can you play chess?"
"Where is this thing!"
Little Bone has recently been dissatisfied with desires and has no idea what to do, so he has a bad temper, and he speaks viciously with anyone.
Shui Bingyue smiled and said:
"I can't learn it, it's very simple! I think my sister is a beautiful woman, but some are not very good at dressing up, and you have been walking in the world since you were young. If you see more of the world, you will be free and easy. This is not bad. , But it’s hard to catch a man’s heart!"
"A man's heart?"
Little Bones glanced at the little fat man over there and snorted coldly.
"Hey, you don’t need to hum! Er Fat is a real hero. Although he is still very playful now, he can become a sturdy Mustang in two years. It will be difficult to surrender at that time! My sister is here, There is a sentence for you, this man, when he is thinking about you, he must let him fall in love with you, so he can't forget you. If you are just a person who is letting him go, wait until he is lost Interest, you have no place in his heart. Sister, I know you don’t actually care about men, but do you think this kind of life is not good now? Someone talks to you in bed at night, and others care about your daily life. Isn’t that? it is good?"
Shui Bingyue has been studying men all her life. She is really an expert on men and women, so she likes to show off her rich knowledge when she sees people.
And what she said really touched Little Bone, making him think slightly.
Shui Bingyue glanced at her, then smiled: "I have a chance to teach you to play chess, you look at these two men. Just now Erlang is obviously a dead game, but thinks he is destined to win. And Er fat loses a piece, he In fact, his live chess has become a dead flag, and he can't win anyway, but Erlang feels that chess cannot be won for him! He really doesn't know chess in his body! Poor and ridiculous!"
Little Bone raised his eyebrows, feeling that what Shui Bingyue said was interesting, but he didn't resist her so much, so he started talking with her.
At this moment someone came in and reported that someone had broken in from outside the house.
