After the mystery was revealed, Cao Wu planned to leave, but because of his relationship with Xiahou Dun, he still said to Xiahou Mao: "I spare your life today because of your father's face. Brother Yuan Rang won't let you go to the battlefield because of Protect you. But looking at you like this, you have to go. If you really want to go to the battlefield, I have a suggestion."
"Uncle, please...please speak."
Xiahou Mao shrank in fear.
"In our clan, with the help of my brother, many people went to the battlefield and started directly as captains. But for you, I suggest you start as a soldier."
"Why?"
Xiahou Mao was anxious again. The armor he wore was not in vain. He wanted to make contributions on the battlefield, but he could not cross Xiahou Dun to join the army. He had been worried for several years.
"For one thing, because of your father's prestige in the army, he won't let you join the army, and no one can arrange for you to become an official in the army. But if you start as a soldier, the worst thing you can do is change your name and join the army first, and then you can fight for it. Fame will naturally help you gain a foothold in the army, so your father can only accept it. Secondly, all you have learned is marching and fighting, but you don’t know how small soldiers do it. Generals start in the army; Start as a soldier, and if you become a general, these experiences will be your assets."
These words can be said to be serious and thoughtful. In the past, Cao Wu rarely gave these instructions to people of this era, because he knew the power of time restraint, and it was useless to say it.
But after he single-handedly rewrote the outcome of the Chibi War, he was sure that history would take a completely different path from what he had done at the time.
There is no need to hide it anymore.
For a junior like Xia Houmao, who was younger than him in both age and seniority, he would be extremely benevolent if he gave a few words of advice. Whether he listened or not was his own business.
Fortunately, Xia Houmao's eyes wandered and he seemed to have listened.
He solemnly cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your uncle's advice. My uncle's words woke me up. If I, Xiahou Zilin, can make great achievements in the future, it will be because of my uncle's encouragement today!"
Seeing his serious expression, Cao Wu nodded. As long as he listened, it would have nothing to do with him in the future. He would have to work hard on his own. I hope he would no longer rely on his wife to get to power and leave an embroidered pillow in the history books. Foolish reputation.
Just as he was about to leave, Xia Houmao added: "Uncle, believe me, I really didn't know that Cao Pi wanted to harm you. I got Cao Pi's letter and asked Ma Tie to hand it to Ma Weiwei, but I didn't know what was written in it. What? It was Ma Tie who told me later. I have absolutely no intention of harming anyone!"
Cao Wudao: "Ma Teng, he has been idle for a long time. He has been in charge of Xiliang for more than 20 years, so he thinks he has the trump card to cause trouble. It's okay to make trouble in a small way. But you should never find trouble on me. !”
"Yes. Uncle must not be afraid of him!"
Ma Teng has a great reputation in this era. After all, he is one of the few people who has been dominant since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. However, in Cao Wu's eyes, he seems to be nothing. Xia Houmao has begun to admire Cao Wu. He plans to promote Cao Wu's reputation among his dandy friends, so that his brothers will know that Cao Wu is a true dandy when he acts so domineeringly.
Cao Wu laughed and said, "Ma Teng doesn't know that when Ma Chao rebels, his whole family will die!"
"What?"
The young man next to him was silent for a long time. Then he finally interjected and said in surprise: "Ma Chao's parents, brothers, wife, children, and the whole family are in Xudu as hostages. How could he rebel? Is he crazy?"
"If I say he can, he will."
Cao Wu finally said his first words to the young man.
When he saw his extremely white skin, Cao Wu planned to stay away from him.
He also knew this young man, his name was He Yan, and he was Cao Cao's adopted son.
He Yan's grandfather was the famous general He Jin.
After He Jin was killed, the He family lost power, and He Jin's father died early as a result.
In line with the noble sentiment of caring for the weak, Cao Cao, who had excellent character, took He Yan's mother Yin as his concubine, and He Yan became Cao Cao's stepson.
Cao Cao has many stepsons, three of whom are famous, one is He Yan, the other is Qin Lang, and the other is Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen was adopted and had his name changed because his father died for Cao Cao, but the other two were unwilling to change their surnames and failed to become a member of the Zhuguo clan like Cao Zhen.
Qin Lang is the son of Qin Yilu, the most useless person in the Three Kingdoms. His mother, Du Shi, is an extremely beautiful woman. Cao Cao, who has excellent character, also accepted her.
Qin Lang is relatively low-key, but He Yan is different. His life has been brilliant and failed. He has also left footprints in the long river of culture. He is the founder of metaphysics in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
But Cao Wu just loves history, not a history expert. When he hears the name He Ang, he can only think of three words.
One is called Fu Fenhe Lang, and the other is called Taichung Three Dogs.
There is another one, Five Stone Powder.
This medicine, which is made of five ingredients: cinnabar, realgar, alum, zengqing and cishi, was extremely popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It was also addictive and harmful to the human body, and claimed the lives of many celebrities.
Among them was Cao Wu's good friend Guo Jia.
That's another story.
"General Beifu has such a strong tone!"
He Yan chuckled and wanted to argue, but suddenly Cao Wuyi whipped down his whip, leaving a bloody mark on his arm.
He Yan hugged his arms and looked at Cao Wu. Ordinary people would be angry or aggrieved when being beaten, but He Yan's white and tender face did not have such an expression. He looked at it with burning eyes. Cao Wu seemed to have discovered something incredible.
He suddenly asked a question that made Cao Wu's hair stand on end: "Uncle, can you know the future?"
Cao Wu tried his best to stay calm and calmed down his emotions: "This whip is a warning to you. Don't eat it in the future! Go away!"
After saying this, he drove his horse downstairs.
He Yan stroked his right arm, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound, and then danced around.
Xia Houmao was shocked and said: "Uncle Ping, are you in the state again?"
He Yan cried for a while and then laughed again, as if he was crazy.
Xia Houmao was not surprised, but kept pulling him downstairs.
Taking Wushi Powder will cause the body to become hot and cause hallucinations. When it comes to taking Wushi Powder, He Yan is the leader. This is not the first time that he has behaved like this.
He Yan broke away from him, suddenly rushed to the window, pointed downstairs and shouted: "Metaphysics, metaphysics, mysteries and mysteries, the door of all mysteries, everything is nothing! Nothing, is nothing, Cao Wu's nothing! He is nothing!"
"I told you before that I can't eat that shit, I will eat you to death sooner or later!"
Xia Houmao hugged him to prevent him from being embarrassed at the window.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Xia Houmao glanced out the window.
Xudu has ushered in the most prosperous time of the day.
Pedestrians passed by this street, including merchants, farmers, scholars, and nobles.
They crowded around in this new city.
This new city was expanded to imitate the eastern capital Luoyang. Under the management of Cao Cao and Xun Yu for thirteen years, it already had the grandeur of being the capital of a dynasty.
Some people regard this place as the last stop in their lives, such as Ma Teng, the guard who served in the army for thirty years.
Some people desperately want to get out, such as himself.
Xudu was peaceful. The war of millions of people in the south did not shake it in the slightest. The invasion of the southern Huns did not even cause a scream.
Xudu is full of disputes, and wars with no blood and no sight of swords are being fought here.
At the center of the dispute, the arrogant and domineering young general rode a red horse into the bustling crowd.
It's like a passer-by in this era, but also like it's really integrated into it.
Change the world and change yourself.
The last time hundreds of officials were in trouble in Beifu, one of the three princes died.
What kind of storm will this impeachment of hundreds of officials bring?
