Chapter 28 28. Resigned in danger

"Why do you say death before the army moves?" Deng Sheng took the seal ribbon from Ling Shipin and handed it to Cao Cao himself, "Young man, I am here waiting for your good news." After parting, Cao Cao got into the official car with the green cover and two flags that had been prepared, and was full of emotion: when he entered, he was still a Sanzhi Yilang, but when he came out, he was already a senior official of Erqianshi with military power.It's a pity that Luoyang City is now sparsely populated, not to mention the children of officials, many people have gone to the city, who can see their majesty?

When we arrived at the gate of the mansion, we saw the family members Cangtou standing on both sides, and Qin Yilu was the first to run over: "Congratulations, you have been promoted! Our family has two green-covered and two-flanked carts. If you go out with the master, how majestic will you be?" ah!" "Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed unceasingly, let him help him out of the car, took the seal ribbon and went to the main hall.Seeing that my father has prepared wine and food, he has been waiting for a long time. "Father." Cao Cao knelt in front of Cao Song holding the seal ribbon.

Cao Song didn't look at the official seal, but touched the green, red and white ribbon, and asked, "Is it the captain or the general?" "It's the riding captain." Cao Song pondered for a long time: "My son said 'Thirty years old', you are exactly thirty years old this year. As a father, I have been favored by your grandfather, and it took me fifteen years. A salary of a thousand stones." "The child is also supported by his father." "Being a father can only help you, but you can't bestow virtue on you. I just talked to Xu Xiang, Jia Hu and others. Cui Lie and Zhang Wen each rely on their hearts. As for Ma Gong and Zhu Jun, they are even more beyond what a father can do. It's time. In the final analysis, you still have to walk the road yourself. Sit down quickly." As he spoke, Cao Song scooped up a cup of wine for his son, "But you have to think clearly, you can only win this battle if you win the battle." Enjoy the glory, if you don't win, it's just an illusion."

Cao Cao held up the wine cup: "My son has made up his mind. If he loses and the king's division is destroyed, he will die in battle and serve his country. He will not disgrace the grace of the emperor to our Cao family." Cao Song pressed his hand: "It's your words that I'm afraid of for my father." "Oh?" "Everyone will say that it is better to break the jade than to make it whole. But you have to understand that the most difficult thing is to put the broken jade back together... Ah Man, do you want De'er?" "Brother..." Cao Cao thought for a while, "Our Cao family, Ding Shangwang, has a total of over a thousand servants. In the west, there is the sturdy clan of the Xiahou family, and in the east, there are the Ding brothers who have closed their doors. My son's 3,000 men are stronger, so they will be safe." "That's what I said, but there is one in a thousand, I'm afraid I'm caught off guard. As a father, I have to plan for the worst now, if..."

"Our family will have no trouble." "Listen to what I have to say. If Master Wang is defeated or unable to win, you must not die or come back!" "what?" "Don't come back to Luoyang after the defeat." Cao Song felt dejected, "Once the Wang division loses, Bocai will surely enter Henan. At that time, the fall of the capital is imminent. Why do you come back? You should return to your hometown in Qiao County with the remnants of your troops. It would be the best if you can summon Xiangyong to come to serve the king. If you can't, just wait for the right time behind closed doors. If you can't even keep it...then run away with De'er and save the descendants of my Cao family. Ah! My grandson Ang'er cannot be harmed, do you understand?"

"You don't have to be so sad. Zhu Jun and Huangfusong are both veteran generals, and the yellow scarf bandits are a mob. Presumably Wang Shi is only temporarily trapped. You..." Cao Cao wanted to continue, but found that his father's cheeks were dripping. a tear. At that moment, he suddenly realized that his father was old and lived in one place every day, but he actually ignored this point, the mottled white hair, the wrinkles like knife carvings, even the most shrewd people will grow old one day!He immediately changed his words, "My son promises you!" Cao Song heaved a sigh of relief: "I'm relieved now... 3,000 troops are too few."

"There is no way, there are only so many soldiers who can be recruited now. The prince's division is the governor of Yuzhou, and there are only a hundred people under his jurisdiction. He went back to his hometown overnight to recruit troops." "Let's go out tomorrow, and you will take the servants of this family with you." "My son already had this intention." Cao Cao drank the wine, "My son still has something unclear, why don't you let me go out with Zhu Jun?" "Hahaha..." Cao Song laughed through his tears and patted his chest, "Even if you are transferred to the Northern Army now, your qualifications are not enough, and you are just a general in the army. How can my son of Cao be busy for other people's fame? "

Cao Cao stared at him blankly, and the sadness just now was swept away: old man, when the country is in danger, you still want to get rid of such cleverness!Although this kind of scheming is not very glorious, but looking at the shiny seal beside it, it feels really dumbfounding. "Why are you in a daze! Do you know the truth of becoming famous and dying?" Cao Song took a sip of wine, "It's not a skill to talk about war on paper, but you will understand what war is when you go to the battlefield."
