Chapter 429

Chang'an is in a depression, and the streets are full of soldiers on patrol. It seems that it is back to the Chang'an period under the command of Dong Zhuo and Dong min.

The news of the war between the eastern Wu Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty had already spread to Chang'an City, and the news that the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty was defeated and retreated was heard by the people in Chang'an city. The whole city of Chang'an was in a state of panic. Many people secretly tried to escape from Chang'an, including some officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In order to deal with this measure, Cao Cao issued an order a few months ago that the whole city of Chang'an was under martial law and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Moreover, the curfew has been greatly advanced. At this time, the sun has not set and there is no civilian on the street. The houses in Chang'an city don't even dare to light the lights at night. After sunset, Chang'an city will become dark.

In Chang'an City, a big house near the imperial palace is the residence of Cao Cao, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty and king of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The setting sun is like pouring a basin of blood on the mansion, making the whole house covered with blood, even the soldiers and servants guarding the house are no exception.

But in the innermost courtyard of the house, there are many people coming in and out of the land, most of them servants. At the gate of the hospital, a man of about twenty-eight or eight years old came in a hurry. A domestic servant who was guarding the gate of the hospital was full of anxiety. A little surprise appeared on his face as soon as he saw the man. The housemaid walked quickly to the man and worshipped him.

But the man's face was white, and he was very elegant, but now he was gloomy, wearing a black official robe, walking with the wind. Obviously, he was very worried. When he saw the servant, he frowned and whispered to the servant: "what's the father like now? What about the inside? "

"Three childe!" The servant quickly replied in a low voice: "the king of Wei has been in a coma since he got the military information from Bingzhou the day before yesterday, and has not yet woken up. Now the eldest, the fourth, the fifth and the sixth are all waiting for him. The eldest lady and the second lady are also serving the king of Wei. When the second lady saw that the third young master had not arrived, she secretly told the villain to wait for him here! "

As soon as the man heard the servant's reply, he could not help shaking his body, and then his face became more ugly. Finally, he gave a cold smile and said to himself, "even the third and the fourth are running here! It seems that my father is really out of order this time Although the man said this sentence in a low voice, the servant who was nearby could hear it clearly. Even if his face changed greatly, the last word the man said was really killing words! How can anyone listen!

The man didn't seem to see how ugly the servant's face was. Even if he left the servant aside, he rushed to the yard. At the door of the room, the man suddenly seemed to think of something. He rubbed his two eyes with his hands as hard as he could. Suddenly, his eyes were covered with red silk. Then he took advantage of others' ignorance and spit a few mouthfuls and wiped them on his face. Then he cried out: "father! Father! The son minister is coming! Father Just crying and crying, the man trotted all the way to the room.

At this time, in the huge room, in addition to the servants and maids, there were four men kneeling on the ground. They were almost the same age as this man, and all of them had tears on their faces. In the innermost part of the room, there was a very large bed, surrounded by gauze. On both sides of the bed, there was a beautiful young woman, who was also full of sadness. The beautiful woman on the left side frowned slightly when he saw the man coming, while the beautiful woman on the right side was happy.

The middle-aged man lying between two beautiful women with silk scarves on his head is no other than Cao Cao, who has dominated the north for many years. However, at this time, Cao Cao had already lost his former domineering look. His face was pale, his brows were deeply wrinkled, his eyes were tightly closed, and his face was only full of weak breath.

The men kneeling at the bottom are Cao Cao's sons. The one who kneels at the front, with a handsome face and a trace of fortitude, is cao'ao, the eldest son of Cao Cao. At Cao Ang's side, a tall man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a yellow beard, is Cao Cao's fourth son, Cao Zhang, whom Cao Cao nicknamed "Huang Xu Er". The next one, who was thin, was graceful and elegant, with a clear face and beautiful eyes. He was Cao Zhi, Cao Cao's fifth son. The last one, pale and somewhat similar to Cao Cao who is now seriously ill, is Cao Xiong, Cao Cao's sixth son.

The man who just came in crying and knelt in front of Cao Cao's bed was Cao Pi, Cao Cao's third son. Of course, Cao Cao's sons are far more than these, but Cao Cao's real wife is only Ding's and Bian's, that is, the two beautiful women on both sides of Cao Cao's left and right. The other concubines' rooms are probably just a collection of the lecherous Cao Cao.

Although Ding had no children, Mrs. Liu, Ding's maid who married Cao Cao with Ding, gave birth to Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao ang, and his second son, Cao Zao. Mrs. Liu died early, and the second son Cao Shuo died soon after he was born. The remaining eldest son was raised by Ding family, and Ding regarded it as his own. As for the Bian family, although he was not Cao Cao's main family, and was born as a humble Kabuki, he had a strong opinion. Especially when Cao Cao fled from Luoyang, it was Bian who helped Cao Cao manage his family affairs that made Cao Cao's home not disappear. Therefore, after Cao Cao's success, he also highly respected the Bian family. Therefore, he also attached great importance to his four sons, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and Cao Xiong.Now Cao Cao is seriously ill, and looking at the situation, I'm afraid that Cao Cao can't resist this time. Naturally, Cao Cao's sons also began to make some small moves. Cao Pi was entrusted by Cao Cao to go to the north of Chang'an to inquire about the news, but this time he got a message from his mother, so he came back without stopping. But did not expect, the other four competitive brothers, at this time, a pull all rushed to.

Hearing Cao Pi's cry, Cao Cao's closed eyes trembled for a moment, and then slowly opened a line, showing some turbid eyes. Cao Cao opened his mouth and asked softly, "yes, is Zihuan back?" Cao Cao's voice is hoarse now, and he is no longer as majestic and majestic as he used to be.

But Rao was so. Cao Pi and others who heard Cao Cao's call could not help but tremble. Cao Ang's four sons immediately burst into tears like Cao Pi, and Cao Pi naturally cried more loudly. Seeing Cao Pi kneeling on the ground, his knees Shua Shua moved forward a few steps, and also approached Cao Cao a little. He cried to Cao Cao and replied, "father, king! Father! It's Zihuan coming back! "

Maybe he was woken up by his sons' crying, or Cao Cao's health was better. In a word, Cao Cao's eyes widened a little, and his look in his eyes was a little more. Hearing the cry of his sons, Cao Cao's eyebrows wrinkled again. He whispered, "shut up! I'm not dead yet! Don't cry for me any more

Although Cao Cao's body is weak and his voice is very small, his majesty is still there. This sentence, however, suppressed the cry of several sons. None of them dared to cry out any more. All of them were lying on the ground and sobbing softly. Cao Cao then motioned to his two wives to help him up. Although Ding and Bian were worried about Cao Cao's body, they did not dare to disobey Cao Cao's orders. They had to help Cao Cao up slowly, but Ding insisted on leaning Cao Cao on himself. Bian did not dare to argue with him.

Although this action is more than two wives, but for the present Cao Cao, it is also very difficult. Finally, he sat up and leaned against Ding's body, but Cao Cao was very tired and panting. After a long rest, he raised his head and looked at Cao Pi kneeling below. Cao Cao asked in a low voice, "Zihuan, did you get anything when you went to the north to inquire about the news?"

"Father Cao Pi stopped crying, raised his head, but did not immediately answer, a trace of embarrassment on his face. Cao Cao was afraid that he had not heard the news.

What a wise man Cao Cao was. Besides, he knew that his son, Mo ruo Fu, saw Cao Pi's expression, and immediately guessed that the news that Cao Pi had inquired would not be good news. He sighed softly and said, "Zihuan! Come on, now, what kind of bad news I can't carry! Just tell me. What's going on in Jizhou and Liangzhou? "

As for Jizhou, uncle Cao Ren took the original army of Jizhou and the army of General Zhang Fei who had retreated from Yanzhou, they were beaten and retreated to Bohai City, while Bao Baoda of Qingzhou was the largest The army, Zhao Yun's army in Yanzhou, Ganning army in Youzhou and Zhou Yu's army in Bingzhou have surrounded Bohai city from all sides! "

After Cao Pi finished the information, Cao ang and others all changed their faces. On the contrary, Cao Cao did not react excessively. His face remained calm or numb. Since Jianye, the general of the eastern Wu Dynasty, announced an all-round attack on the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were great defeats in Sanguan, Yanzhou and Jiguan. These series of failures have tortured the military strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty which was inferior to that of the eastern Wu.

Cao Cao raised a hand with difficulty, gently waved it in the air, and said, "you, you all withdraw!"
