Chu Yan, Gui Gu, and Yang Feng led more than 700 people to attack Cao Mansion.
However, Cao Mansion was empty.
Chu Yan felt bad, feeling that there must be an ambush in the Cao Mansion.
What Cao Cao implemented was definitely to lure the enemy deeper.
How did this news leak out in advance?
~~
Chu Yan thought for a while and was about to lead his troops to exit Cao's mansion, but was attacked by tiger and leopard cavalry led by Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houen, Li Dian, Le Jin and others.
Hua Tuo used the five-animal sword technique to assassinate the Taiping Taoists like an eagle attacking a rabbit.
~~
Cao Cao was able to accurately calculate that Zhang Jiao and others gathered to cause chaos because Hua Tuo was practicing medicine and unintentionally mixed up with Taiping Taoists.
When he was treating illnesses and saving people for Taiping Taoists, he learned the news and secretly reported the situation to Cao Cao.
Because Cao Cao had saved Hua Tuo and his daughter before.
Therefore, Hua Tuo had to repay his kindness and came to join Cao Cao.
~~
In the dark night, tigers and leopards ride back and forth like the wind.
They are all black sweaty horses, like black whirlwinds.
The hooves of the war horse kicked off the Taiping Taoists, causing them to stumble and fly.
Li Dian and Le Jin led the crowd to slash and kill the Taiping Taoists with knives, not allowing any of them to escape.
The three Xiahou brothers flew away from their horses, held their swords in the air, used thunder sword skills, and started to fight with Chu Yan, Gui Gu, and Yang Feng.
The brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were extremely brave. Their swords were as fast as the wind and their swords sounded like thunder. They killed Chu Yan and Gui Gu so hard that they could not resist.
~~
Xia Houen was weak in martial arts and was beaten back by Yang Feng.
Ding Hui flew down from the small attic like a strange bird flying through the forest in the dark night. With a flick of his long whip, he picked up Yang Feng and flicked it.
Yang Feng felt pain all over her body.
Because there are barbs on Ding Hui's whip.
boom! Yang Feng was thrown out more than ten feet, her body was covered in blood, her skin and flesh were torn.
~~
Chu Yan and Gui Gu did not dare to fight anymore, so they turned around and ran away.
Chu Yan's "cloud-piercing footwork" was very good, and he flew away.
He threw a knife at Ding Hui to block Ding Hui, and then grabbed Yang Feng and ran away.
The Taiping believers he led suffered a terrible fate. They were all killed by Li Dian and Yue Jin. Then, the lights in Cao Mansion were turned on, and it was as bright as day.
But all the Cao family members hid in the cellar.
A wealthy family must have dug a cellar to store money and grain.
Tonight, Cao Cao hid all his family members in the cellar.
Ding Hui relied on his martial arts skills, so he secretly came out of the cellar and hid in the attic. He seized the opportunity and flew out to kill the enemy.
~~
The male servants and nurses of the Cao Mansion came out to clean the courtyard and wipe away the blood stains.
They directly piled up the headless corpses and burned them, and spread the ashes under the flowers and trees in the courtyard as fertilizer.
Soon, Cao Mansion returned to its original state.
In this battle, Li Dian and Le Jin beheaded more than 700 enemy heads, and then led their troops to mount their horses and rush to Weiyamen in the north to hang their heads.
The North Castle area of Kyoto Castle calmed down.
~~
When the emperor heard the news, he was very curious.
He led his troops out of the palace overnight and came to Weiyamen in the north to see Cao Cao's achievements.
He also personally counted one thousand and ninety-one heads and praised Cao Cao who was lying on the ground.
He asked Cao Cao to maintain public security in Kyoto, and he would definitely use him again in the future.
He Lian also came with the emperor, and she felt very complicated when she saw this.
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong also came, and their emotions were very complicated when they saw this.
The emperor went on patrol all night, alerting the civil and military officials around the palace.
Tonight's curfew is effectively cancelled.
After hearing the news, civil and military officials and nearby people came to watch. They looked at the heads and admired Cao Cao endlessly.
~~
After hearing the news, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, He Jin, He Feng, Cao Song, Ding Hui, Liu Yan and others also hurriedly came by carriage to watch.
They were also in very complicated moods.
Especially Yuan Shao, he was really afraid that Cao Cao would surpass him in official position.
The little brother and follower in the past had a lot of misdeeds. How did he become so powerful now? Oh my God! Cao Mengde was too hidden in front of me before, right?
~~
However, although the emperor praised Cao Cao highly, he did not reward Cao Cao in public, nor did he give him any official title to promote Cao Cao.
Seeing that there were more and more people watching, he got into the imperial carriage and drove back to the palace.
He Feng originally wanted to stay and relive her old dream with Cao Cao, but because the Yulin Guards wanted to clear the roadblocks, she had no choice but to leave in a carriage with her family.
After the civil and military officials sent the emperor off respectfully, they dispersed one after another and returned to their respective homes.
The famous scholar Xu Shao looked at the more than a thousand heads and said with emotion in public: "Cao Mengde is a capable minister in governing the world and a traitor in troubled times!"
This statement spread that night, triggering heated discussions among the civil and military officials of the imperial court and the people of Kyoto.
~~
Xu Shao, courtesy name: Zijiang, was born in Pingyu, Runan, and was a famous critic.
He has few famous festivals and is good at evaluation. He regularly holds "monthly reviews" and changes the topic every month, so there is a custom of "monthly reviews" in Runan.
Moreover, "Yuedan Commentary" is famous all over the world.
Whoever gets Xu Shao's evaluation will spread quickly, and the evaluation of Xu Shao will affect the career and life direction of the person being evaluated.
~~
People gradually dispersed.
Cao Cao returned to the yamen and held a grand banquet for Hua Tuo. He and more than a hundred tiger and leopard cavalry held candles and talked happily, which was very pleasant.
Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong and other generals were very optimistic about Cao Cao's future.
They all raised their glasses to toast Cao Cao and wished him a bright future.
Cao Cao asked Hua Tuo to stay and serve in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
He said: "Brother Yuanhua stays in my temporary private team, and he can still treat people's illnesses and save lives. If there is a war, brother can come back.
Usually, my brother can travel all over the world. If any soldiers are wounded in battle, they will be fine if they receive treatment from Brother Hua. Furthermore, my tiger and leopard cavalry also fight for the people.
In addition, the five-animal sword technique of an elder brother can also be passed on to more than a hundred brothers. Only by spreading martial arts and medical skills can they be passed down from generation to generation and remain famous for generations to come. "
~~
Hua Tuo said that in the battle tonight, he saw the majesty of the tiger and leopard cavalry.
He agreed to stay in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and serve as a military doctor. There was no war at all, so he had to be allowed to stay idle and treat the people's diseases.
Cao Cao agreed, and everyone congratulated Hua Tuo on joining the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
Everyone started drinking and gradually became a little tipsy.
Cao Cao advised everyone to stop.
He also took the lead in reciting the ten catch-all rules.
Everyone suddenly woke up and quickly got up and went back to their rooms to rest.
~~
Cao Cao arranged for the government officials to be on duty, so he used his top-notch Qinggong Ladder Cloud to come to He Mansion.
Just now, he saw He Feng in the crowd.
I haven’t seen He Feng for several months.
He misses her.
He also knew that she must miss him too.
~~
In the past few months, the two have not seen each other, and they are both eager to see each other.
But He Feng was looked down upon by his family.
She couldn't go out alone.
Even if she wants to go out, she has to be accompanied by her family, servants, and maids, and cannot walk alone.
Moreover, He Lian also sent some maids out of the palace to teach He Feng various etiquette in the He Mansion. Although He Feng was also learning, he was very depressed.
She misses her sweetheart!
Lovesickness is painful.
But she doesn't know martial arts and just hopes that Cao Cao can come to her.
It just so happened that Cao Cao took up the post of Northern Lieutenant.
~~
There are three things a new official should do when he takes office.
In order to achieve results, Cao Cao was busy with official duties all day long.
Because he always kept in mind Sima Fang’s words: Reputation is very important.
However, tonight, he can go to He Feng with peace of mind.
Because the battle tonight was so sensational that even the emperor came to see him.
Xu Shao also spoke highly of him in public.
enough!
~~
As a result, Cao Cao could come out and relax for a while.
When He Feng returned to his house, he couldn't sleep either.
Her mind was full of Cao Cao's heroic deeds and the heroic image of Cao Cao she just saw.
Cao Cao flew in from the sky.
Although it was his first time to come to He Mansion, it was easy for him to find He Feng's boudoir.
Because the people in He Mansion have fallen asleep.
Only the weak candlelight shines through the window of He Feng's room.
Cao Cao floated down from the sky and stood in front of He Feng's window. He reached out and knocked lightly, and whispered: "It's me, Cao Mengde!"
He Fengfang's heart was pounding, her pretty face was hot, and she stood up excitedly.
She hurriedly pushed open the screen window and saw that handsome and familiar face.
~~
Cao Cao whispered, "Turn aside and I'll jump in through the window."
He Fengjiao smiled and teased Cao Cao: "Haha, you are worthy of being a capable minister in troubled times and a traitor in troubled times! You can easily find me like this, and you can think of any way. Tell me, how do you know my room? of?"
She followed the plan and turned slightly.
~~
Cao Cao jumped in and whispered: "What time is it now? Others must be asleep, so the lights in the room will be on only if you are thinking of me."
He Feng was secretly happy when his thoughts were guessed.
She put down the screen window, threw herself into Cao Cao's arms, and asked in a low voice: "I thought you had forgotten. Why did you come to me after so many months?"
She suddenly burst into tears.
~~
Cao Cao gently separated her and raised his sleeves to wipe her tears.
He whispered: "I miss you very much, but I also think that you have just arrived in Kyoto and need to be familiar with all aspects of the situation and people.
Your sister will also send someone to teach you etiquette.
Now, your status is different. Although it is your sister who is favored by His Majesty, she has become rich and powerful, and your whole family has also benefited from it.
And you are as beautiful as a fairy, and there must be an endless stream of people who ask matchmakers to come here to cross the threshold. "
~~
Cao Cao's explanation is very reasonable and pleasant to the ears.
He Feng smiled shyly, with pear blossoms in the rain, and said charmingly: "You sent a spy to lurk in my house? How do you know these things about me?"
Cao Cao took her into his arms.
He whispered in his ear: "Who is your sister?
She yearns for power, and she hopes that one day you can also enter the palace and become a concubine.
Therefore, she will not let you have casual contact with others, especially men.
However, it is also a good thing for you to learn court etiquette.
After all, this is Kyoto, where high-ranking officials gather, and etiquette is very important when meeting people. But for you, I am willing to go to the mountains of swords and the sea of fire.
Do you hear my heartbeat? That's what I feel for you. "
~~
He Feng said "Yeah", very happy.
The two hugged each other tightly and fell on the bed in excitement and intoxication.
~~
Cao Song, Ding Hui, Liu Yan, Cao Mai and other family members also thought highly of Cao Cao.
In any case, tonight, the emperor went to the northern Wei Yamen to visit Cao Cao in person, and Xu Shao also spoke highly of Cao Cao.
After they returned to the mansion, they also held a grand banquet. Although no outsiders were invited, Cao Song toasted everyone in the mansion one by one.
He thanked everyone for their support of Mengde.
In particular, he toasted three glasses to Cao Mai, Ding Hui and Liu Yan each.
~~
This night, Cao Mansion was warm and cozy.
Everyone's heart is warm.
However, the next night, Cao Cao confused the emperor, He Lian and all the civil and military officials, and also made Cao Song furious.
Because Cao Cao caused big trouble.
~~
