"A man, what are you afraid of if you have to endure some hardships? Your father is your grandfather. He has been a soldier all his life, eating and sleeping in the open air, going through life and death, and being shrouded in horse leather. You are just on duty in the palace now. Compared with the border battlefield, you don't know how many times more comfortable you will be in the future.

How can we gain a foothold on the real battlefield?" Cao Yan reprimanded him unceremoniously.

Liu Ying said dissatisfiedly: "You know how to train your son all day long. You have fought for the imperial court through life and death, but in the end you are still standing aside. Even your official position was cut off, and you still asked your son to imitate you.

I don’t care if I don’t want to learn.”

Cao Yan's expression changed. Liu Ying's words touched his sore spot again. He snorted heavily and said, "A woman's opinion!"

There is another more important reason why Liu Ying does not want Cao Liang to join the army. Liu Ying's father is none other than Liu Bei, the founding emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty.

In the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao led his army to march south. Liu Bei led his people to cross the Yangtze River and fled south. Cao Chun led 5,000 tiger and leopard cavalry to pursue Cao Cao's orders. They pursued for 300 miles day and night, and caught up with Liu Bei at Changbanpo in Dangyang.

.

In the Battle of Changbanpo, Zhao Zilong was exaggerated by the novel to ride alone as the savior, but in fact it was not that at all. Liu Bei was in a mess and fled in confusion under the pursuit of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and Zhao Yun only protected Gan.

The wife and the young master Liu Chan escaped by luck, and the seven in and seven out were purely nihilistic.

In fact, the one who really shined in that battle was Cao Chun, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. He not only severely damaged and defeated Liu Bei's army, captured a large number of people and baggage, but also captured Liu Bei's two daughters and returned in triumph.

This incident made Luo Guanzhong, who had always been loyal to Liu and anti-Cao, ashamed to speak up about it, and did not mention it in the novel. At the same time, he was so angry that he portrayed Cao Chun as a coward who could not even defeat Zhou Yu's generals.

Cao Chun dedicated Liu Bei's two daughters to Cao Cao. However, the two daughters were only five or six years old at the time. Cao Cao, who had always been only interested in married women, was naturally not interested in these two beautiful little lolita, so he simply gave them away.

A little loli was rewarded to Cao Chun.

One of them was Liu Ying, who later married Cao Yan and became the Marquis of Gaolingting.

Unfortunately, her sister died young and did not reach adulthood.

Liu Ying did not want Cao Liang to join the army, because although her father Liu Bei had passed away, the current emperor of the Shu Han Kingdom was her biological brother, and Liu Ying did not want Cao Liang to have a military encounter with the Lord of Shu in the future.

Cao Liang was surprised to find that he actually had an even more impressive identity, that is, he was actually the grandson of Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei and the nephew of Liu Chan, the current emperor of Shu.

Of course, this identity is just for Cao Liang to have sex with himself. In the hostile environment between Wei and Shu, this identity is of no use unless he has the opportunity to go to Shu in the future and maybe get involved with his uncle.

Guang, and now, he is just an out-and-out "Cao Sandai".

The Cao generation headed by Cao Cao can be said to be full of talents, dazzling, and famous all over the world. Cao Cao will not be mentioned for the time being. Others such as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xia Hou, Xia Houyuan, etc. are all world-famous generals with great military exploits.

handle.

Compared to the dazzling first generation of Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Xia Houshang, the second generation of Cao can only be regarded as less aggressive and more conservative than successful.

They did not have the ability of their fathers to expand the land and dominate the world, but they managed to guard Cao Wei's own three-acre land and did not let others get involved.

It's a pity that the poor can't be more than five generations, and the rich can't be more than three generations. By the time the Cao family reached the third generation, they were really at the end of their rope. Except for Wei Ming Emperor Cao, he could barely be considered a wise king. It's a pity that Cao's life was short and he was thin. Thirty-six

The remaining three generations of Cao who died young at the age of 18 are really worth wearing a hemp rope to wear tofu.

Now Cao can't survive much longer. His eight-year-old son Cao Fang is about to succeed, and Minister Gu Ming has also been confirmed. There is no longer any suspense about Cao Shuang and Sima Yi assisting the government. Cao Shuang, as a powerful minister who can control the whole world, will use his good cards.

He was beaten to a pulp and was tricked by Sima Yi. In the end, he was completely destroyed and all three clans were killed.

Of course, this will only happen ten years later, and Cao Shuang will live happily in the position of chief minister for another ten years.

But what about ten years from now?

Is it really that difficult to change history?

Just when Cao Liang was deep in thought, He Fu, the steward of the palace, came in and reported: "I would like to inform you, Lord Marquis, that we have a guest who wants to see you."

Cao Yan was slightly startled. It was already this hour, so why would there be guests coming to visit? It was so strange.

"Who is here? Do you have a greeting card?"

He Fu reported: "The visitor did not have a greeting card. He just said that he came from the palace and wanted to see the Marquis."

"Is there someone coming from the palace?" Cao Yan was even more surprised. What was the reason for someone coming from the palace in the middle of the night?

"Invitation!" Although Cao Yan was surprised, he did not dare to neglect, and asked Liu Ying and his servants to get out of the way first. Only Cao Liang and himself were left in the lobby, and he ordered He Fu to treat each other with courtesy.

Welcome guests to the lobby.

The guest came alone, wearing a black cloak. The cap of the cloak covered most of his face. It was impossible to see the person's face clearly. There was a sense of mystery all over his body.

the breath.

Cao Yan raised his hands in confusion and said, "I wonder why you came here late at night?"

The visitor took off his hat, laughed, and said: "Master Gaoling, don't you recognize our family?"

Although the candlelight in the lobby was not very bright, Cao Yan recognized the person at a glance as the eunuch beside the emperor, Huangmen Shilang to ward off evil spirits.

Cao Yan was horrified. In terms of official position, Jixie was just a fifth-rank official, not big or small, but he was the emperor's confidant eunuch and a popular person around Cao.

"It turned out to be a high-ranking official. I'm a little out of touch with you, so I ask the high-ranking official to forgive me." Cao Yan said politely and bowed his hands.

Cao Liang was also deeply confused, because he also recognized the person who was none other than the eunuch who accompanied Cao this afternoon. Although he did not know this person's name, judging from his relationship with Cao, this person

He must be Cao's confidant.

Since he is Cao's personal eunuch, he is not with Cao at this moment, but appears in Gaolinghou Mansion. Isn't this a little too weird?

Moreover, this person was not wearing the attire of an intercourse, but was wearing ordinary clothes and disguised himself. So what did he want?

Ji Xie chuckled and said: "Master Hou, you are so polite. Our late night visit was so abrupt that Master Hou was frightened."

Cao Yan said: "The chief minister has come to my house to make the walls of my humble house shine. Why should I be frightened? Please sit down, chief minister."

Jixie said: "No need, our family is here today with an imperial edict. Cao Yan, the Marquis of Gaolingting, is here to receive the edict."

Cao Yan's heart trembled, and he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Cao Yan, accepts the order."

Cao Liang also knelt down from behind.

Bixie took out the secret edict and said solemnly: "According to His Majesty's oral instructions, I give Gaolingting Marquis Cao Yan a secret edict. It can only be opened when the country is in danger. There must be no mistake!"
