Chapter 16 third quarter

The grand royal field hunt.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty rode on a free horse, took a precious carving bow and golden feather arrows, and under the protection of the Huben Army and the Habayashi Imperial Guards, three cannons were fired, and he drove out of the city in a row.Many eunuchs wore yellow umbrellas and feather fans, followed by all the officials, and specially ordered Uncle Liu Huang to escort them.Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei each wore heart armor, held weapons, bent bows and inserted arrows, and led dozens of cavalry to follow the emperor's cavalry.Empress Fu and Concubine Dong traveled in the same car.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty summoned Liu Bei to drive with him, and said, "With the emperor's uncle escorting him, it is really safe." Liu Bei bowed his hands right away and said, "It is a great honor to be escorting your majesty." Fei followed behind with a spear, and nodded to signal them to be careful all the way.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said: "I heard that the two uncles sworn brothers are very good." Liu Bei immediately called Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to ride over, and introduced to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty: "This red-faced swordsman is Bei's second brother Guan Yu, this black-faced The spearman is the third brother Zhang Fei." Guan and Zhang saluted immediately: "Your Majesty, Sheng'an." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Long Yan Dayue: "The three brothers are so heroic, I have no worries." Liu Bei said: "Your Majesty must wait for you." Do the work of a dog and a horse."

Taiwei Yang Biao and his son Yang Diao led a group of troops from Taiwei's Mansion out of the city, and Yang Biao and Yang Diao rode in front of the team on horseback.Yang Biao is also lined with heart armor, holding a painting halberd, bending a bow and inserting arrows, and is fully armed.He raised his whip and said, "speed up and meet the emperor." But Yang Diao said, "wait a minute, father, here is an arrow for you."Yang Biao asked suspiciously: "Why is this?" Yang Diao looked back at the army behind and said, "Father will take it later." Seeing something strange, Yang Biao took a look at the arrow and was surprised: "Why is it Zhang Liao's arrow? "Yang Diao said: "Father must understand the rules of Tianzi's field hunting." Yang Biao said: "Recognize arrows but not people." Shoot, and the tiger and deer fall, who is the one who shoots the shot? Recognize the arrow but not the person. Whoever’s arrow hits is the one. If more than two arrows hit a beast, the arrow that hits the vital point will be judged as meritorious. Therefore Before every field hunt, the officials and generals mark their own arrows. This arrow is Zhang Liao’s arrow. My son once said that killing people with a knife is really shooting people with an arrow. When the field hunting is chaotic, my father only needs to look for an opportunity. Shoot, the one with the surname Cao..."

Yang Biao suddenly understood: "Did you forge this arrow or got it from Zhang Liao?" Yang Diao said: "I got it from Zhang Liao. If there is money and someone, there is nothing impossible. Zhang Liao was originally a surrendered general, so now he shoots Cao with an arrow. Isn't it logical? Father put away the arrow quickly." Yang Biao Looking back at the people behind him, he hesitated to insert the arrow into the quiver.Yang Diao handed over another arrow, "Father, take this one again." Yang Biao stared at Yang Diao gloomyly, took it with some hesitation, and was even more surprised: "Is it the arrow from the Cao Mansion?" Yang Diao said: "Father, please take a closer look." Yang Biao looked again: "It is not only from the Cao Mansion, but also Cao Pi's arrow. Where did you get it?" Yang Diao said: "Father, put it away quickly. I also have one arrow here." He patted the quiver he carried with him.Yang Biao reluctantly inserted the arrow into the quiver and said, "How can it be possible to shoot Cao Cao with Cao Pi's arrow?" Yang Diao said, "Is it rare in the world that ministers kill their kings and sons kill their fathers? When field hunting is chaotic, You can see that Zhang Liao’s arrows are used to match Zhang Liao’s shooting angle, and Cao Pi’s arrows are used to match Cao Pi’s angle. I will wait the same way.” Yang Biao sighed worriedly: “It’s really a risk.” Then he suddenly patted his horse forward go fast.Yang Diao waved his hand to lead the crowd to follow.

Cao Cao personally led 100,000 soldiers to arrange hunting.He set up camp in the central hunting ground and waited for the emperor and all the civil and military officials.When the military situation urgently reported that "the emperor has left the capital city of Xu and is escorted by Uncle Liu Huang", he was waiting on his entourage, dressing calmly in the tent of the Chinese army, and said to Cao Pi who was standing beside him, "you don't need to tell me this time." , I am also lined with a gold armor, and I wear an official uniform." Cao Pi said: "You can also line the sleeve armor." Cao Cao patted the front chest and back and said: "Just cover the front and back chests." Move around again With both arms said: "You don't need both arms." Then turned to Bai Shao who was standing on the other side and said: "In Xuzhou, I only listened to Cao Pi's advice to line the gold armor like this. That time I was almost shot by an assassin."

Bai Shao looked speechless.Cao Cao also said: "Ten days are limited to solve the case and arrest the assassin, but the case was not solved in the end. The whole Xuzhou was searched except your Zheng's family, and there was no trace of the assassin." glance.Bai Shao lowered her eyes: "Why didn't you search? Leave doubts." Cao Cao said: "I said it at the time, if you leave doubts, leave doubts. How can there be anything perfect in the world? The governor of Xuzhou, Che Zhou, escorted you to , even if it is a redemption. I have won Xuzhou and you as a companion, and I am satisfied." Bai Shao glanced at Cao Cao and did not answer.Cao Cao teased: "Why, you are not satisfied?" Bai Shao said: "Prime Minister should be more careful today." Cao Cao asked: "Why?" Bai Shao said: "It feels like something will happen." Cao Cao Laughing: "What could happen? I brought out the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in this hunting ground with my own hands. There are like clouds on the left and right. Who can do anything to me?" Cao Cao turned his head and asked, "Has Zhang Liao recovered from his injury?" Cao Pi He replied: "Okay, he is waiting outside the tent now, and he has to accompany the generals to protect his father."

Another sergeant came in and reported urgently: "The emperor is five miles away from the central hunting ground." Cao Cao nodded to show that he knew, and then said to Cao Pi: "I set up camp in the central hunting ground and waited for work with leisure. Now, how many people are there? Huh! Tell all the generals to come in." Cao Pi shouted outside the tent of the Chinese army: "The prime minister orders, all the generals come in." Outside the tent, another military official announced: "The prime minister ordered Dozens of brave generals, including Li Dian, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, etc., in armor and helmets, rushed in in a row, bowed down in rows, and said, "Kowtow to the Prime Minister and General." Cao Cao said: " It's not a big general, that name is given to Yuan Shao and his ilk, just an ordinary general. Get up." All the generals immediately lined up on the left and right, stood by their swords, majestic and majestic.Another sergeant came in to report urgently: "The emperor is still three miles away from here." Cao Cao nodded and said, "Zhang Liao, are you here again for the lonely shield?" En, life or death, I will not say anything." Cao Cao said lightly: "Okay, the one hundred thousand troops are all on standby around the hunting grounds, and three thousand elite soldiers from the first team of the Chinese Army Guard will come out with me to meet the emperor. Wait a moment. And follow." All the generals responded in unison: "Obey."

Three cannons sounded, horns blared, and the gates of the camp opened wide. Cao Cao led his generals on horseback and three thousand elite soldiers to go out.There was another horn, and the yellow, red, and blue flags commanding the army waved. Three thousand elite soldiers lined up neatly on both sides of the road, with bright banners and dazzling armor.Cao Cao watched from a distance the emperor's cavalry and the ranks of hundreds of officials approaching, and led his generals to meet them. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was escorted by Uncle Liu Bei on the right, Taiwei Yang Biao and others on the left, and hundreds of Tiger Ben and Yulin Forbidden Army were running behind him. The faction so arranged came to meet him, and his complexion suddenly became ugly.Looking back, although there are hundreds of officials and guards, it is just a thin team.Cao Cao came towards him with great momentum, and his neat and mighty army filled the field, which immediately showed that the power was in Cao Cao's hands.He turned to Liu Bei and said, "See you, Uncle Huang, field hunting is also an opportunity for him to show off his might."

When Cao Cao approached, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm waiting to welcome the emperor. Field hunting is like a war, and I can't wait to get off my horse and worship." Han Xiandi said, "Thank you for your hard work." Dozens of generals behind Cao Cao shouted in unison. He replied: "Long live the emperor!" Cao Cao turned his horse and drove alongside Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to inspect the three thousand elite soldiers.Dozens of Xiao generals turned around and followed behind Cao Cao.Liu Bei, Yang Biao and their troops could only be merged on the other side of Han Xiandi, and they did not dare to go parallel with Han Xiandi, leaving a little distance behind.Walking through the formation of elite soldiers flanking the road, Cao Cao talked and laughed happily and was at ease, while Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was very uncomfortable like a thorn in his back.At last they passed through the formation that lined the road, and three thousand elite soldiers formed a rectangular formation behind them, guarding them from afar as the background.Gradually, a wild and open hunting ground opened up ahead.Cao Cao pointed and introduced: "I led one hundred thousand soldiers and horses to surround the surrounding area for two hundred miles. This is the central hunting ground. I will accompany your Majesty to hunt. There are also several hunting grounds in the east and west. Let the generals and school perform heroic hunting and practice martial arts. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said: "It is still necessary to encircle three sides and open one side." Cao Cao said: "This is naturally the rule of the previous kings. The ancient sages said that 'the king uses three drives'. This is what it means." He pointed to the front, left, The red flag hidden behind the grove in the far distance on the right said: "These three sides have been opened by the sergeants. As soon as the guns and horns sound, the three sides will encircle and the beasts will all gather on this side. Your Majesty will let you go." Indulge in field hunting." Then, Cao Cao drew his sword and pointed at the sky, and immediately the cannons sounded from far and near, followed by the sound of horns.The red flags waved in three directions, shouts shook the sky, and the entire grassy hunting ground was in turmoil.Cao Cao, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, hundreds of officials, escorts, and guards Cao's team all began to change their formations, preparing for field hunting, and there was excitement and noise from the people and horses.

Bai Shao sat in the car with the curtain halfway, looking at this spectacular scene with some curiosity.She paid attention to Cao Cao's figure from a distance, and also paid great attention to Han Xiandi surrounded by the crowd.She also noticed a magnificent carriage not far behind Han Xiandi, presumably the empress and concubine Dong were sitting on it. Empress Fu and Concubine Dong were sitting in the same car, and they also half-opened the curtain to watch the field hunting that was about to start in novelty.Empress Fu found that the team behind Cao Cao was also followed by a car, which was very conspicuous among the Yishi cavalry.She said to Huang Fu who was waiting outside the car on horseback: "Is that car from Cao's mansion? Could it be that the prime minister's wife has also come to watch it? Why don't you invite her to come over and watch it together." Concubine Dong said: "Why invite her? Condescend It's not worth it." Empress Fu said: "Check the reality for the emperor." Huang Fu rode past, went to Bai Shao's car and asked, "Is this the prime minister's wife?" The driver said: "No, it's the master of the prime minister's house At this time, Huang Fu had a face-to-face meeting with Bai Shao in the car, first he was dazzled by Bai Shao's appearance, then his eyes rolled, and he had an idea and said: "Oh, it's the master of Xiangfu. The empress has heard about it a long time ago. You are a talented girl, I called you to go watch the field hunting together. There is also Dong Fei in the car." Bai Shao was stunned, apparently not expecting it.She looked at Cao Cao who was standing side by side with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty on horseback in the distance, and she could not ask for instructions or refuse at this time.The queen's decree can only be followed.After a little hesitation, he nodded and told the car to follow Huang Fu to the Queen's side.

Huang Fu rode a horse and went to Queen Fu's car to report: "It's not Mrs. Cao, but Zheng Kangcheng's granddaughter, Bai Shao, who painted the picture of "A Gentleman Is Good", is now the master of the Xiangfu. The servant asked her to give it to the Queen, Dong The imperial concubine is here to greet you." Empress Fu was stunned, but she didn't expect it.Huang Fu said: "Isn't the queen empress looking for the truth for the emperor?" While speaking, Bai Shao's car had already arrived.Huang Fu raised his voice and proclaimed: "Bai Shao, the head of the prime minister's mansion, kowtowed to the Empress and Concubine Dong!" Empress Fu opened the curtain of the car, and Bai Shao also opened the curtain of the car, wanting to get out of the car to see Empress Fu.Empress Fu stretched out her hand and said: "This is a rough place, you don't need to get out of the car to pay a big gift, just show your face and let me and Concubine Dong recognize it." All blessings." Then he raised his face. Although Concubine Dong is young and beautiful, she also shows jealousy when she sees the younger and more beautiful Bai Shao. Empress Fu looked at Bai Shao without showing any signs of expression, and said kindly: "I have seen your poems and paintings, and today I see people. You are really talented. In the past, the emperor summoned you, and the Zheng family called you It is difficult to enter the palace if you are sick." Bai Shao said: "I was really sick at that time." Empress Fu looked Bai Shao up and down again, and said: "Now seeing the bright eyes and bright teeth, the luster of the face, the body must be very safe. "Bai Shao lowered her eyes slightly and said nothing.Empress Fu said: "You still have time to enter the palace if you want to, the emperor can ask Prime Minister Cao for someone." Bai Shao didn't speak.Empress Fu looked at her coldly, and said calmly: "The emperor loves talents the most, so he appreciates you very much; the emperor is also the most lenient, so he will not force you." The empress understood everything, and smiled benevolently: "Okay, I won't embarrass you, you have time to enter the palace whenever you want, let's watch the field hunting together first. Later, you may have a chance to meet the emperor face to face What?" Bai Shao couldn't help herself, so she could only follow orders. Huang Fu said outside the car: "Report to the Queen, the field hunt has begun." With the encirclement of the three-sided red flag waving with gongs and drums, deer and rabbits are already running in the grassy hunting ground.Cao Cao accompanied Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty on horseback and stood at the front, and the crowd spread a little distance behind them.A hare ran past the horse, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty turned his head to Liu Bei who was not far behind and said, "I see the emperor's uncle shoots." Liu Bei had already held a bow in his hand, and at this time he shot an arrow, and the hare fell down in response.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty rejoiced: "Uncle Liu is good at arrows!" A military official rushed to pick up the hare, pulled out the arrow and inspected it, then raised the rabbit with one hand and the arrow with the other, and announced loudly: "Uncle Liu Huang shot!" Liu Bei Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and a dozen or so military officials behind him cheered and cheered, and some of the officials also cheered and cheered. Another sika deer was driven over from the thorny grass.Cao Cao pointed: "Your Majesty, please shoot." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty held a precious carved bow, put on a golden feather arrow and shot it, but failed.The sika deer frightened left and right and could not escape.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty failed to hit two arrows and three arrows, and took the fourth arrow. He wanted to draw the bow, but felt that his strength was weak, so he said to Cao Cao, "Let's shoot, Prime Minister." Cao Cao stretched out his hand and said, "Use your majesty's bow to shoot. "Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty handed him the bow and arrows. Cao Cao took the golden feather arrows and pulled the bow full of precious carvings. With one shot, the arrow fell into the grass from the sika deer.Li Dian, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Cao Pi and other generals and guards behind Cao Cao cheered in unison: "The prime minister is mighty!" Two more soldiers rushed over, one lifted the sika deer from the grass and carried it on his shoulder to show the public, and the other drew an arrow to check Then he held it up and shouted: "The golden feather arrow was shot by the emperor!" So more officials and generals cheered enthusiastically: "Long live the emperor!" !" For a while, those who shouted "Long live the emperor" and "Prime Minister Shenwei" refused to give in to each other. In the end, one side only shouted "Long live" and the other only shouted "Shenwei", one after another.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty shook his head at Cao Cao, expressing helplessness. Cao Cao simply signaled Emperor Xian of the Han to turn his horse's head to face the crowd and cheer together.Long live and Shenwei suddenly shouted together.During the cheering, more and more people found that one of Cao Cao's raised hands was holding the carved bow of the Son of Heaven, while Han Xiandi's hands were empty, so the voice of "Long Live" gradually became lower, and the cheers of "Shenwei——Shenwei——Shenwei" were rhythmic. The ground rang together.Cao Cao smiled in front of the cheers.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was very embarrassed, and his face became more and more ugly. Bai Shao, Empress Fu and Concubine Dong watched the scene in their respective cars.Bai Shao watched the situation closely.Empress Fu not only watched the situation over there, but also turned her head to glance at Bai Shao's expression from time to time. At this time, they saw that Guan Yu behind Liu Bei was obviously furious. He reined in his horse and walked in place, circling left and right, eager to jump up. Finally, Guan couldn't hold back anymore, raised his eyebrows and stared, raised his knife and patted his horse to rush over to kill Cao Cao.Liu Bei turned around and found it, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal.Guan Yu gritted his teeth and stopped still.He whispered through his teeth: "The surname Cao bullies you too much." Liu Bei shook his head again, and seeing that Guan Yu had stabilized, in order to divert others' attention, he immediately stepped forward and said to Cao Cao: "The prime minister's sharp shot, the world will never stop. It’s rare.” Cao Cao smiled: “It’s really thanks to the emperor’s blessing.” As he said that, he returned the precious carved bow to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty: “The bow is the bow of the emperor, and the blessing is the blessing of the emperor.” Emperor Han Xian couldn’t hide his annoyance , Said: "This bow is not suitable for my use, so I gave it to the prime minister." Cao Cao immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he waved his carved bow and drove his horse to the open field for a few steps, then turned and said to the crowd: "Ministers, generals, Let's all show off your archery skills." The crowd on the horse took their bows and drew arrows and made a commotion, and the scene was chaotic for a while. Yang Biao and Yang Diao had been watching the scene with ashen faces in the crowd.Yang Diao saw that the crowd was turbulent at this time, and Cao Cao stood out in front of the crowd again, which was really a rare opportunity.He raised his bow to signal to his father Yang Biao.Yang Biao glanced at him gloomyly and shook his head slightly.Yang Diao gestured to Yang Biao again, but Yang Biao still shook his head slightly.Seeing that the opportunity was about to be missed, Yang Diao turned his head and while no one was paying attention to him, he carefully took out an arrow from the quiver and put it on the bow secretly, then looked around, and suddenly raised the bow and shot it full. Yang Diao thinks that no one is paying attention to this series of actions, but Bai Shao in the car sees them clearly, and is also seen by Empress Fu and Concubine Dong.Bai Shao had already noticed that Yang Diao was raising his bow to Yang Biao, and seeing Yang Diao fully draw the bow and shoot an arrow, he couldn't help but close his eyes instantly.I heard Cao Cao yelling over there. Cao Cao was hit by an arrow, and the arrow hit his arm.Cao Cao's gold-lined armor only protected the front, back, chest and back, but did not expect to protect his arms.The arrow was close to the shoulder, and he fell off the horse.Cao Pi was the first to jump off his horse and help Cao Cao up, followed by Li Dian.Dozens of Cao Cao's cronies surrounded him.The arrow was still on Cao Cao's arm. Cao Pi looked at it and said, "Zhang Liao's arrow." Li Dian stood up and said, "Zhang Liao's shot, take it quickly!" Zhang Liao was immediately cornered by the generals with guns and swords drawn.Li Dian and Xu Chu shouted angrily: "Zhang Liao, be bold!" Zhang Liao was at a loss at first, and then shouted: "Prime Minister Mingjian! It was not shot by Liao!" Everyone couldn't help but handed over Zhang Liao's knives, swords, bows and arrows, and then sent He pulled off his horse, and several people twisted Zhang Liao and led him to Cao Cao.At this time, the arrow had been pulled out, and Cao Cao's arm was bleeding. Cao Pi and others tore off his battle robe to bandage him.They pushed Zhang Liao down and knelt in front of Cao Cao. Cao Cao sat on the grass, looked at Zhang Liao and said, "I'm not mean to you." The prime minister gave the sword, and Liaoxian committed suicide to show his will." Cao Cao said, "Give him the arrow, let him see." Li Dian presented the bloody arrow to Zhang Liao, and Cao Cao asked, "But your arrow? " Zhang Liao was twisted and looked carefully: "It is indeed Liao's arrows. I don't know why they got into other people's hands." Cao Cao asked: "Do you have any arrows?" Zhang Liao said: "I brought two pots of arrows, two days before the field hunt They were marked left and right, but not counted." Cao Cao squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "I understand, someone shot someone with an arrow. Help me up." Cao Pi and others helped Cao Cao to stand up.Cao Cao said, "Let him go." Li Dian and the others twisted Zhang Liao, saying, "My lord, you can't just rely on one-sided words." Cao Cao said, "Let him go." Zhang Liao hesitated to let go, but Zhang Liao was still kneeling.Cao Cao said: "Get up." Zhang Liao fell down and bowed down.Cao Cao said: "Get up as soon as you are told, don't let everyone see the joke." Zhang Liao stood up with tears in his eyes.Cao Cao said: "Give him back his sword, bow and arrow." Everyone hesitated, and someone said: "My lord will interrogate him before it is too late." Cao Cao said: "If Zhang Liao wants to harm me, don't block that arrow for me in Xuzhou I have it all, why wait until today? Give him back his sword, bow and arrow." Everyone handed Zhang Liao's sword, bow and arrow to Zhang Liao, but there were still objections among the crowd.Cao Cao took off his sword and handed it to Cao Pi: "Anyone who criticizes Zhang Liao again will be killed with this sword." Everyone was silent.Cao Cao said: "Help me onto the horse." Cao Pi and others helped Cao Cao onto the horse.Cao Cao said again: "Bring Zhang Liao's horse here too." The crowd led Zhang Liao on the horse.Cao Cao said again, "Give him back his knife." Zhang Liao's knife was stuck in the grass, Li Dian pulled it out, and threw it backwards to Zhang Liao, who immediately caught it.Cao Cao said: "I, Cao, don't have any other skills. I still have the ability to suspect and employ people." He said to Zhang Liao, "Follow me and guard." : "Follow orders!" Cao Cao waved his hand and said to the dozens of generals surrounding him, "I have shown up to all the officials, I am fine, I was not shot to death!" Just now when Cao Cao was shot off his horse, all civil and military officials were really shocked.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was also taken aback at first, but when he figured it out, he applauded secretly.Seeing that dozens of Xiao generals, Cao Cao's cronies, surrounded the fallen Cao Cao and made a commotion, he didn't know whether Cao Cao was shot to death or not.Later, Yingyingchuochuo saw that Cao Cao was helped onto the horse again, and she was a little disappointed to know that she was still alive.Later, the dozens of Xiao generals got on their horses, surrounded by guard Cao Cao, and showed their faces.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty saw Cao Cao bandaging his left arm and knew that he was only injured.He is now facing a Cao Cao who was shot, and he has a fair expression on his face.Yang Biao and Yang Diao had been watching the commotion over there nervously, and they were also watching whether Cao Cao was dead or alive.When Cao Cao showed his face immediately, and Zhang Liao followed closely behind him in full armor, Yang Diao felt that something was wrong.He looked around and behind him, as if he wanted to run away, but when he saw the solid formation of three thousand elite soldiers not far away, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and hold on.Yang Biao's face was clouded. Bai Shao has been looking at the place where Cao Cao fell from the horse in the car.Just now, she heard Cao Cao yell, knowing that Cao Cao was shot, she felt very complicated.Seeing Cao Cao appearing in front of a team of officials surrounded by the generals, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly with mixed feelings. Empress Fu not only saw Cao Cao who appeared on the horse again, but also noticed the change in Bai Shao's expression. Most of the civil and military officials saw that Cao Cao was on the horse again, and they breathed a sigh of relief, one after another shouted: "Prime Minister is well!" Cao Cao rode his horse up to all the officials, and slightly raised his right hand in greeting: "A shot in the dark, fortunately, there is no big deal!" Obstacle." Someone in the ranks of officials shouted: "Take out the one who shoots the hidden arrow!" Cao Cao said, "I can't run away." He bowed his hands to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and said, "Your Majesty was frightened by my poor arrangement." Han Emperor Xian said: "The prime minister is fine, and I feel at ease. Someone dared to shoot and kill the officials of the country in broad daylight. It is an unforgivable crime." Cao Cao said: "Please come here, Your Majesty. I must treat all civil and military officials Officials speak." Emperor Xian of the Han had no choice but to turn his horse around and face all civil and military officials together with Cao Cao.Cao Cao glanced at the ranks of hundreds of officials, and more than a hundred horses from the Huben Army and the Yulin Army escorting him wanted to come with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but were stopped by dozens of generals including Li Dian and Xu Chu.These dozens of brave generals all topped a hundred with one, and their momentum was overwhelming.They not only guarded Cao Cao, but also spread out in an arc from left to right, controlling all civil and military officials from the front.Behind the hundred officials, under the command of Lingqi, three thousand elite soldiers are forming an arc and encircling them silently. Yang Biao and Yang Diao looked back and forth and knew that something was wrong. Cao Cao quietly looked at the team of hundreds of officials.As the three thousand elite soldiers approached, the whole scene was controlled as if in the palm of their hands.He glanced at the crowd again, and said: "Just now someone shot someone with an arrow, and Cao with Zhang Liao's arrow, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. He not only killed Cao Cao, but also framed Zhang Liao. This person is now among you. A hero came out to claim this heroic act?" The audience was silent.Cao Cao sneered, "The quiver of these two people who tried to assassinate must have someone else's arrow hidden in their quiver, not Zhang Liao's, Li Dian's, or Xu Chu's." He looked back at Cao Pi beside him: "Maybe It may also belong to Cao Pi. Do you want everyone to shake off their quiver?" Many people responded: "Yes. Everyone shakes off." Cao Cao sneered again: "There must be some people who are unwilling. .” His eyes swept over Yang Biao and Yang Diao.Yang Biao lowered his eyes slightly, and the corner of Yang Diao's mouth twitched.Cao Cao waited quietly for a while, then raised his hand and said, "Since no one has confessed, we simply surrounded them and searched them one by one." Li Dian and Xu Chu waved their hands, and the 3,000 soldiers and horses behind surrounded them.Cao Cao watched the movements of all the officials coldly.He saw the two cars behind the ranks of hundreds of officials, raised his hand and said: "The cars of the Empress and Concubine Dong must not be disturbed." Then he said to Liu Bei in front of him: "Uncle Liu Huang, please come over here to accompany Your Majesty." Liu Bei said immediately: "Let's check them one by one, all are treated equally, and there will be no exceptions." Cao Cao stopped persuading.Guan Yu holds a knife, Zhang Fei holds a spear, and they stare at Liu Bei from left to right, Cao Cao should turn a blind eye.He watched coldly as the encirclement of the army was getting closer and closer.Wait until the army is completely surrounded.Li Dian asked for instructions: "Prime Minister, let's start." Cao Cao snorted and said, "Not to start, but to pause." Everyone stared at each other, not knowing why. Cao Cao said to all the officials: "Your Majesty has just said that it is an unforgivable crime to shoot and kill ministers of Sheji in broad daylight. With Your Majesty's order, I could have interrogated them one by one to see who was hiding other people's arrows in the quiver. I won’t slip through the net. But in front of Your Majesty, I, Cao, don’t want to show off my prestige like this, let alone humiliate all the civil and military officials because of one or two people who make trouble in the back. Check one by one, everyone passes, and it’s over.” Cao Cao glanced at everyone .The audience was very quiet.Cao Cao went on to say: "Six out of ten civil and military officials have always supported me, Mr. Cao, in governing impartially. Many people are happy to see that I am not dead, which is proof. Only three out of ten people oppose me." He glanced around Everyone: "Among the three or four out of ten people, half of them just have different views from mine and have no self-interest prejudice. Apart from this, only one out of ten people really oppose Cao with self-interest." He paused and said: " And most of the people who oppose me, Cao, most of them will not use such insidious means to assassinate me. Apart from this, it is really possible that there are at most four or five civil and military officials who shot backside arrows." Cao Cao glanced at Yang Biao. Yang Diao, with a slow snort, continued: "Among the four or five people out of a hundred people, there are only one or two people who really have the courage to take risks. I, Cao, know people well, and I don't doubt a good person for no reason. Today I only I need to take down these two or three people I know well on the spot, and then the truth can be revealed." He stopped, looking at the team of hundreds of officials, and the atmosphere in the audience was silent and tense. Yang Diao could hardly support himself on the horse, he held on, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he wiped it with his hand.Li Dian, Xu Chu and other dozens of generals watched the scene with guns and swords. Cao Cao deliberately paused, and then said: "I am going to order these two or three people to be taken down now, and I will investigate on the spot. Do you have any opinions?" Guo Jia and Xun You said loudly among the officials: "No objection." Cao Cao Said: "The two are lonely soldiers, so-called cronies, what you say doesn't count." Kong Rong said in the crowd: "The prime minister's handling of it in this way is considered meticulous and appropriate." As a prefect, do you have any grudges against me, Cao?" Kong Rong said: "To be fair, Rong is incompetent as the prefect of Xudu, but now he is very suitable for being an admonishing doctor." Cao Cao nodded and asked: " What about the rest of the people?" More people said loudly: "Since the prime minister has identified it, we can do it this way." At this time, Zhao Yan protested in the crowd: "The humble Zhao Yan objected. There is no evidence, only the prime minister's suspicion It is unreasonable to search certain ministers on the spot. If it is not found out on the spot that they have hidden other people's arrows in their arrow pots, what should the prime minister say?" Cao Cao reined in his horse and took a few steps forward, getting closer to Yang Biao and Yang Diao. He said: "I won't search for him yet, but let people surround him and say, can you lend us your quiver for a look? How about that?" Li Dian, Xu Chu and others held their bows and set up their arrows, but they all stared at him. Follow Yang Biao and Yang Diao and be on guard at any time.Zhao Yan looked at the impatience, and still protested: "This is still a disguised search, which is not legal." Cao Cao sneered: "Shoot and kill the Minister of Sheji in broad daylight. Your Majesty just said that the crime is unforgivable. Do you resist?" Zhao Yan was momentarily at a loss for words. Cao Cao paced around on the horse, and said to Zhao Yan, "Do you know what I, Cao, want to say?" Zhao Yan glanced at Cao Cao and said nothing.Cao Cao said: "I want to say that what you just said is exactly what I want to do." Zhao Yan and everyone were stunned.The audience didn't know what the words meant.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was always embarrassed on this occasion, and at this time he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Cao Cao's gourd.He watched warily.Yang Biao and Yang Diao could only hold on with sullen faces, waiting for the development of the situation.Cao Cao said: "I, Cao, know that as long as I take the quiver of these two people on the spot, the truth will be revealed, but I will not do this, because it will inevitably be suspected of relying on personal suspicion." He paused and said: "The military situation is urgent during the war. If you have any doubts, you must search first. That is a last resort. It is not necessary to do this today. I decided not to investigate, and the so-called disguised search will not be done for the time being. I am sorry that he will not be able to escape in the end. I still don't interfere with Bai. It's better for the officials to go hunting with the Son of Heaven." Everyone in the audience was surprised.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty glanced at Cao Cao, puzzled.Zhao Yan opened his eyes wide.Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others were very surprised.Although Yang Biao didn't show his face, he was thinking hard.Yang Diao rolled his eyes, judging the good or bad of this place.Cao Cao's left and right and dozens of generals who surrounded him were also very shocked.Only Guo Jia and Xun You looked at each other and nodded knowingly. Cao Cao slightly raised his hand and pointed at the encircled army, and said, "disperse." Although Li Dian, Xu Chu and others didn't understand, they immediately obeyed.With a wave of the command flag, the black army began to retreat to make a relief.Cao Cao looked at it, then turned around and saluted Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and said, "I am presumptuous, and I did this in front of Your Majesty." Injuries can be dealt with clearly in this way, and it is not a matter of will." Cao Cao said: "The incident of the secret arrow disturbed the interest of all officials to follow the emperor's field hunting, and please Your Majesty make an order for all officials to let go of field hunting at this time." Han Xiandi said: "Very It's reasonable." He raised his hand and said to the civil and military officials in front of him: "The prime minister has a good suggestion, let's go hunting." Although the officials were still astonished, when they heard the emperor's decree, they loosened up and became active.Some people have drawn their bows and arrows and rode their horses into the wild grass of the hunting ground, and soon there is a lot of cheering and cheering.Cao Cao signaled Li Dian and Cao Pi to approach him, and when he saw the distance, he quietly ordered, "Monitor Yang Biao, Yang Diao and his son. I don't think there will be any incidents involving these two. If there are others hidden in their quiver The arrow must be thrown away as eagerly as a burning coal in one's hand." Li Dian and Cao Pi also looked elsewhere and replied in a low voice: "Understood." Cao Cao also instructed: "Don't come forward, find some smart soldiers born in front of them. If you startle them, you must catch them on the spot.” Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei galloped into the grass to prepare for field hunting.Guan Yu looked at Cao Cao not far away, and said to Liu Bei: "Cao Cao deceived the emperor, I want to kill him, and save the big man, brother, not just me?" Liu Bei said: "The distance between Cao Cao and the emperor is only a horse's head. His confidantes support the left and right, and my younger brother acts rashly for a while. If the matter fails and hurts the emperor, the crime will be to wait for me. Besides, someone has shot him with an arrow, and his prestige has been destroyed." Guan Yu said: "Don't kill this man today. Thieves will cause trouble later." Liu Bei said, "If you do things in secret, if you don't keep secrets, you will harm the establishment." After Cao Cao gave his orders, he immediately became dizzy and held his forehead steady.Xu Chu and other generals who were guarding the left and right asked anxiously, "How is the prime minister?" Guo Jia and Xun You also rode over.Cao Cao said: "It's useless. The arrow missed the key point, but I feel a little dizzy." Guo Jia said: "My lord, it's better to go back to the camp to rest." Cao Cao shook his head: "The emperor and all the officials are hunting." Why don't you sit in the master's car and watch it on the spot." Cao Cao thought for a while and nodded.The crowd supported Cao Cao and came to the side of Bai Shao's car.Xun You arrived first on his horse, and said, "The prime minister is exhausted from the arrow, so I will ride in the same car with you to watch the field hunting." Bai Shao immediately got up to greet him.When Cao Cao arrived, Empress Fu had already seen it in the car beside her, and she leaned over and asked, "Is the prime minister's arrow injury serious?" Cao Cao said "no serious problem", and got off his horse to salute.Empress Fu said: "The prime minister is injured again in the reckless land, and the gift will be excused." Cao Cao bowed his head to worship, and then said to the generals, "See the queen and concubine Dong for me." All the generals immediately bowed down to the ground: "Kowtow to Empress Empress and Concubine Dong." Empress Fu immediately asked everyone to stand up.Cao Cao got into the car, and Bai Shao took Cao Cao to sit down.Cao Cao then said to the generals: "Leave a few people here, and leave the rest." The generals did so.Bai Shao also sat down and saw that the blood on Cao Cao's left arm had already been bandaged, and said, "You shouldn't listen to Cao Pi and put on the sleeve armor." Cao Cao said, "It's just a minor injury, it's okay." In other words: "I don't know who shot the arrow in the back?" Cao Cao said: "I don't know yet." Empress Fu glanced at Bai Shao, paying attention to her reaction.Bai Shao lowered her eyes slightly, but said nothing.Empress Fu said again: "There are so many people, but no one saw who shot the arrow in the back?" She looked at Bai Shao again, but Bai Shao still looked indifferent. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty wandered back and forth in the wild grass of the hunting ground for a few times under the protection of the Huben Army's Yulin Army, and then reined in his horse.He pretended to be very interested in watching the field hunting of all officials and generals, but in fact he was bored.Huang Fu said at the side: "The emperor will shoot again." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said: "I have given people all the precious carving bows, so what else should I shoot?" He waved his hands and said, "I'm not in the mood today, so I won't shoot." Huang Fu looked at the two cars over there, and said cautiously: "The emperor might as well rest in the queen's car, and sit and watch the field hunting together."有什么意思？”黄福察言观色道：“那边，姓曹的也上了曹府的车，奴才见他的相府主簿也坐车观田猎来了。”汉献帝一下注意了：“竟有此事？”他朝那边看了看，勒马原地盘桓了一会儿，对黄福说：“你说朕会怕谁吗？”黄福虽然对这话摸不着头脑，还是立刻跟话道：“皇上还会怕谁啊，只有人怕皇上的。”汉献帝说：“言之有理。”而后气宇轩昂地一拍马说：“朕去看看丞相的箭伤，汝等跟上。” 黄福一转眼球就明白了：“是。”一挥手同虎贲军羽林军都跟上了。 曹操坐在车中正闭目养神，白芍见汉献帝被人护拥着骑马过来，立刻摇了摇曹操：“丞相看谁来了？”曹操不睁眼：“谁来也不管他。”白芍还未及再说，那边车上伏皇后看见汉献帝过来，与董妃二人慌忙起身要下车叩迎。汉献帝马已到，十分仁君地一摆手道：“汝等都不必起身了，这又不是在宫里，草莽荆棘的免大礼了。”曹操这时听到是汉献帝来了，也要起身行礼，汉献帝也十分宽宏地摆手道：“丞相带伤，更要免大礼了。”又对在车旁护卫的许褚等将领说：“你等各有职守，也都免礼了。”唯剩下白芍还没免到，她自然要下车叩拜，正起身之际，曹操对汉献帝介绍道：“这是郑康成郑公的外孙女白芍，臣不久前才请她来任相府主簿。” 汉献帝打量着白芍，一派天子气度地说：“噢？朕看过你的诗画，知道你是才女。好了，你也不必下车行大礼了。”白芍在车上局促地拜道：“谢皇上天恩。”汉献帝十分潇洒地一摆手：“我们共享天恩吧。天子天子，不过是替天行道而已。朕要行道行得好，则承天宠。若行不好，还要遭天谴。天之子实不好当。” 曹操见汉献帝如此健谈，微微一笑，接话道：“陛下自然是行得好的，若有不当之处是臣等之过。”汉献帝更显宽仁了：“丞相及百官已经尽职了，大汉之兴衰都在朕是否相衬帝位。好了，这话暂说到此。丞相伤痛如何？朕特意过来看望。”曹操说：“有劳陛下，伤无大妨。”汉献帝并没有长篇大套说下去的理由，这时道：“朕也效仿丞相到车上坐观田猎，这样更从容，也可与丞相做伴。”说着在黄福等人侍候下下了马，上伏皇后与董妃之车。伏皇后与董妃受宠若惊，连忙接汉献帝上车。车很宽敞，汉献帝居中一坐，伏皇后董妃一左一右陪坐。汉献帝指着前方猎场说道：“百官田猎已然展开，还算一番景象。”伏皇后、董妃，车外侍候的黄福等都诺诺而应。汉献帝谈笑风生地观起田猎来。 白芍的车与伏皇后的车虽相挨近，但都朝着猎场方向，不探身彼此也不能看见。曹操免了君臣应酬，仍闭目养神，并低声对白芍说起话来：“他大话不说了，我倒要说点小话了。他为何过来，你知道吗，是因为孔雀开屏。” 白芍注意了一下那边车，说：“什么意思？” 曹操说：“你博学多才竟连此都不知？每年春天动物闹春时，雄孔雀为向雌孔雀炫雄姿献殷勤就会开屏。”白芍又注意了一下那边车上：“你也不怕犯上。”曹操摇摇头：“听不见。”白芍说：“你这是以小人之心度君子之腹。”曹操仍闭着眼：“是以小人之心度小人之腹。摘了皇冠、丞相官帽，都是普通人。好色之心，人皆有之，他一直想让你去皇宫，未能如愿。知你来观田猎，安能不过来看看？”曹操调侃地哼了一声，“你明白他是冲谁来的了吧？不过，我可以告诉你，满世界孔雀开屏你要感兴趣任你去看，都看不中还留在我这儿陪读。”白芍反唇相讥：“你以为你是孔雀王？”曹操哈哈笑了。 这笑声连汉献帝在那边车上都听见了，汉献帝不快地蹙起眉。他虽然在与伏皇后、董妃及车外的黄福谈笑风生，但耳朵一直注意着这边车上。 白芍竖食指轻按嘴唇嘘了一下，让曹操小声点。 曹操仍闭着眼说：“今日这一箭如何射得这么狠？我方才晕眩就想到箭头是否加了毒。”白芍一下当事了：“既如此，还不赶快回相府？”曹操听出白芍着急了，微微睁开眼，问：“想让我死吗？”白芍静静地看着曹操不说话。曹操说：“想让你说句好话真难啊，看来你是想让我死了。”白芍眼睛里洇出了泪水，她摇了摇头：“你现在还不能死。”曹操注意地眯眼看着她：“那什么时候死啊？”白芍眼泪流下来了：“今日还是别死吧。”她轻轻抚摸着伤处：“真是毒箭吗？”曹操见她有些着急，宽慰地笑了：“顶过这么长时间，我早知不是毒箭了。”白芍一下破涕为笑：“那你吓唬人。”曹操拍了拍白芍的手：“许他开屏，还不许我赚点眼泪。” 汉献帝在那边车上坐着没劲了，站起身想下车，看见这边车上如此情景，又一抖皇袍坐了回去，说了一声：“这大冬天的天气居然如此闷人。” 杨雕佯装射猎跑了一阵马，到开阔处停住，看看身边没人。只不远处几个将士骑着马张望远处，都背对着这里，没注意到他。他从箭壶里刻意认着抽出一箭，又回望了一下，快速将箭折断丢弃于草丛中，不小心折断的箭杆刺破了他的手，他顾不上收拾手上的血迹，准备拍马驰离，那几个背对他的将士突然转身拉满弓用箭瞄住他包围上来：“不许动！”杨雕色厉内荏地嚷道：“你们想谋害大臣？”将士们喝道：“动则一射马二射人。”他们把杨雕四面逼住，朝远处一挥手。 那边李典一边策马过来，一边朝不远处招手。立刻有几个将士骑马到孔融、赵彦二人身旁。孔赵二人正骑在马上借田猎之机闲话，将士们说：“请谏议大夫孔融大人与议郎赵彦大人监场。”二人惊诧：“这是为何？”将士们说：“丞相安排下的任务，请。”二人疑疑惑惑跟着来到李典近旁。李典一指被四面围住不得动弹的杨雕说：“孔融、赵彦二位大人，这位杨雕你们想必认得。”二人说：“自然。”李典说：“他方才将自己箭壶里的一支箭抽出后急急折断扔在草丛中，此事蹊跷，请二位大人当场查验一下，箭就在他马下的草丛中。” 孔融与赵彦顿时明白几分。孔融立刻下了马，穿过包围的将士往杨雕马旁走。李典对迟疑不动的赵彦说：“赵彦大人，请。”赵彦此时也不得不下马走过来。在将士们的指点下，孔融从草丛中拾出了折断的箭，中间还连着未断的竹丝。孔融大惊：“曹府的箭？”又细看：“是曹丕的箭？”他抬头看马上杨雕：“是你所为？”杨雕阴着脸一言不发。孔融又把箭递给赵彦，赵彦并未接，他看到箭杆上有血迹：“箭杆上为何有血迹？”李典喝道：“杨雕，伸出手来。”杨雕不肯。孔融拿过杨雕的手来一看，众人都看见了杨雕手上未干的血迹。 李典说：“二位大人看清楚了？”孔融说：“看清楚了。”李典说：“速速拿下，去见丞相。”几个将士一拥而上将杨雕揪下马来，摘了他的弓箭与佩剑，五花大绑地将他推上马，押着往曹操坐的车子去。 李典对孔融、赵彦说：“烦请二位大人同往作证。”二人也便上马同行。 杨彪远远看见此景，知杨雕事发，他脸色铁青。看看周围，也有一些将士在暗中监视自己。他又望了望被捆绑押送的杨雕，眯眼搭箭张弓一箭射出，远处一只野兔中箭倒在草丛中。 到了白芍的车旁，李典与将士们将杨雕揪下马来按跪在地，大声禀报道：“射暗箭之人杨雕拿下，请丞相钧旨定夺。”曹操早已明白。那边车中汉献帝也被惊动，他探身问：“怎么回事？”曹操对李典说：“先向皇上禀报。”李典跪禀道：“杨雕乘人不注意，偷偷将其箭壶里的一支箭折断扔于草丛，被将士们围住，经查竟是曹丕的箭。这不就是借箭射人之徒吗？”汉献帝愣了一下，又问：“此事都有谁当场作证？”李典答道：“除将士多人外，别有谏议大夫孔融与议郎赵彦二位大人作证，是他们当场在杨雕马下拾起的断箭。”孔融、赵彦二人也跪拜在汉献帝车前，孔融说：“情况属实。断箭与杨雕手上均有血迹，为杨雕折箭时被竹裂刺伤。”汉献帝没料到事情竟然如此。他转头对曹操说：“任由丞相处置。”曹操说：“圣上在，还是要请圣旨。”汉献帝说：“杨雕犯禁酒令等朕已特赦过，一赦不可再赦。况且，此借箭射人之罪实不可赦。” 曹操说：“遵旨。”他吩咐道：“押下去交刑部关押。届时由刑部、吏部会审。”李典等人一声“遵命”，就将杨雕押离现场。 汉献帝看着押送杨雕的人走远，回过神来说道：“来人。”黄福立刻在车外应道：“奴才在。”汉献帝说：“今日田猎丞相受伤，朕也欠精神，原定田猎后大宴群臣着令取消。”
