Chapter 547
Not long after, Yuanyang brought a very big bag from behind. Seeing that she was very troubled, Ailang immediately stepped forward and took the bag. He felt that it was all about clothes and other things, and couldn't help but ask: "What is it here?" Yuanyang said: "These are all sewn by the empress!"
Ailang felt very curious and put the bag on a small table. When he opened it, he saw that there were many inner and outer jackets neatly placed in it. The most eye-catching one was a Shu Jin battle robe with a red bottom. Ailang couldn't help but lit up his battle robe. He saw that various vivid flowers were embroidered on the bright battle robe, which were very gorgeous and dazzling. He couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful!" Concubine Dong's face turned slightly red, and the charm of joy was rippling in her beautiful eyes, and the mandarin ducks said to Ailang like a treasure: "General! These
The flowers are all sewn by the Empress! Not to mention the red needles and threads in the palace, even women in the world are afraid that there are not many women in the world who can compare with her!" Ai Lang couldn't help but look at Concubine Dong. Seeing Ai Lang looking at Ai Lang, Concubine Dong couldn't help but panic and hurriedly lowered her head to avoid Ai Lang's gaze. Seeing her shyness, Ai Lang couldn't help but feel funny, and felt that as a Concubine, she had gone through hardships, so why was she still shy like a little girl?
Ailang looked at the clothes and battle robes in front of him, which were skillful in Guifei Dong, and couldn't help but feel moved. Although he knew that the other party did this to thank her for saving her life, it was still rare for her to have such a heart. You must know that there are so many people in the world who take your help as a matter of right. I just think that this Guifei Dong can repay her kindness, which shows that she is a kind-hearted woman who can be a friend.
Yuanyang said excitedly: "General, hurry up and try this collar robe! Do you think it fits?" Concubine Dong also looked at Ailang with a bright look on her face, looking hopeful.
Ai Lang couldn't bear to go against their kindness, so he nodded with a smile, then took off his old battle robe and put the battle robe that Concubine Dong gave him on his body. The two women's eyes lit up at the same time, and they felt that he was even more heroic and extraordinary when wearing this new battle robe!
Seeing that Ailang's neckline was slightly tilted, Concubine Dong subconsciously walked up and raised her slender hand to tick the neckline for Ailang. Seeing this, Yuanyang was stunned at first, but then she pursed her lips and smiled secretly. Ailang saw that Concubine Dong, who was close to her, actually clapped her neckline like a virtuous wife, couldn't help but think of Yan, who was still at Shouchun's home, and was stunned. Concubine Dong clarified Ailang's neckline, and suddenly felt a little moved. Then she realized that her behavior was too close, like a wife and concubine, and she couldn't help but feel at a loss. Her heart was pounding, and her face turned red like a burning fire.
Ailang came to his senses and felt that the atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward, and couldn't help but smile and said, "That, thank you!" Concubine Dong became even more shy and lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Ailang at all.
Ailang felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Well, I'm leaving Xuchang tomorrow and returning to Shouchun..." Concubine Dong was shocked, and a feeling of melancholy arose in her heart, and she didn't say anything. Ailang said, "If you have anything to do, just tell Lao Chen, that is, Chen Gong, that I have already told him." Concubine Dong nodded and said, "Ailang felt nothing to say, so she said, "Well, Empress, if you have nothing to do, I will leave?" Concubine Dong quickly raised her head and looked at Ailang. Ailang suddenly saw her eyes, and couldn't help but feel that the pair of autumn water-like eyes seemed to contain infinite tenderness and countless feelings. When she came to her senses, Ailang laughed secretly, feeling that she must have thought too much.
Concubine Dong seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just said: "Prespect, take care of yourself!"
Ailang couldn't help but say, "I think I'll come back to Xuchang in a long time. I'll see you again!" Concubine Dong's eyes emitted an amazing look and nodded gently. Ailang turned around and went.
After Cao Pi ordered Cao Ren to give up Wancheng and retreat to Luoyang, he left an army in Chenliu, leading Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, and he himself led a large army back to Luoyang. The army marched on the official road, and everyone looked dejected. No wonder, in this huge battle, Cao's army not only suffered heavy losses but also lost a large area of land, which made everyone in the Cao army feel frustrated.
Not long after, Cao Pi's team returned to Luoyang and entered Luoyang City in the dark. It was not long before dark, but Luoyang City was a quiet scene. Even the hotel brothel area, which was particularly noisy in the past, was silent, and the whole city seemed to be shrouded in a dull and sluggish atmosphere.
Cao Pi returned to his mansion and had not had time to rest, he received an urgent report from Guanzhong. He learned that Liu Bei had repelled the barbarians and defended Chang'an. He was already bad and felt even more depressed. He couldn't help but murmured: "It's really God doesn't follow people's wishes! Why does every war in these time go against my wishes? Could it be..." Cao Pi couldn't help but think about it a little bit randomly, shook his head in annoyance. He looked at Sima Yi and asked: "Sir, how should we deal with the matter in Guanzhong?"
Sima Yi frowned and said, "For the sake of the present plan, it is better to use the method of driving tigers and swallowing wolfs. He simply conferred Ke Bineng and others as the title of Guanzhong King in the name of the court, so as to instigate them to continue to enter Guanzhong!" Cao Pi nodded and said, "This is a clever plan!" Then he frowned and said, "I just hope that Ke Bineng and others will not give up halfway like this time!" Sima Yi smiled and said, "Of course not. This time, it was mainly because the barbarian coalition was attacked by Lu during the Battle of Luoshui.
The Bu army was afraid of fighting, so they were caught by Zhuge Liang's suspicious plan outside Chang'an City! After they rested enough and recovered their spirits, they would definitely not repeat the same mistakes! Whether Liu Bei could withstand the fierce attack of the barbarian coalition at that time depends on the will of heaven!" Then he clasped his fists at Cao Pi and said, "Prime Minister, the most urgent task now should be to reorganize the military's power and restore strength to deal with Lu Bu's attack soon. I estimate that after the spring of next year, Lu Bu's army will launch an attack on Luoyang. We must prepare as soon as possible!"
Cao Pi frowned and said, "This is what I think! But after this great defeat, it is difficult for money and grain to support our army to recruit soldiers and restore their strength quickly?"
Sima Yi frowned and said, "For the sake of the current plan, we can only find a way out of the great tribes in various places and important officials in the court. Most of the wealth in the world is in the hands of the great tribes in various places. As long as they pry open their pockets, money and food will not be a problem. Didn't the Prime Minister always worry that the great tribes who once supported Cao Zhi have a strange intention? So he simply said that they colluded with Lu Bu to subvert the court and confiscate all their wealth! Isn't this a kill of two birds with one stone?" Cao Pi immediately looked happy and praised, "Miscellaneous plan! A clever plan! There are many of these big tribes. If they confiscate their wealth, they are more than enough to cope with military supplies!"
Cai Yong's carriage returned to the front of the mansion, and then Cai Yong got off the carriage and hurried into the mansion. The servant guarding the door immediately closed the door.
Cai Yong came to the embroidery building of his daughter's backyard, and Cai Yan immediately stepped forward to pay homage, "Father!" At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hooves came from the street outside. At the same time, there were shrill crying in the distance, as if many people had been arrested.
Cai Yan couldn't help but frown and said, "From this morning, there will be chaos in the city! Father, what happened?"
Cai Yong frowned and shook his head, and said angrily: "It's not Cao Pi!" As he said that, he walked to the window, and the father and daughter looked into the distance, and saw a huge mansion full of figures, and many people were being escorted out by the Iron Armored Army. Cai Yan frowned and said: "That's Lord Xiao's family, what did they do?" Cai Yong sneered and said: "What did they do? It's not because they got too close to Cao Zhi at the beginning! Today, Cao Pi suddenly attacked and announced in public that many ministers and big families colluded with Lu Bu and intended to subvert the court. Then he ordered Xu Chu to lead his army to arrest and raid the house! Not only these dozens of families in Luoyang, Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, those families that once approached Cao Zhi in this time were not spared!"
Cai Yan was shocked and couldn't help but say, "Cao Zhi's affairs have passed, and Cao Pi is now in power. Why should he pursue it so relentlessly? How many innocent people will die in such a way!"
Cai Yong frowned and shook his head, saying, "We can't control such things!" Then he said with a glee, "Fortunately, we didn't date Cao Zhi before, but we were very close to Cao Pi. There is no need to worry about this storm!" Cai Yan frowned and said without saying anything. After a while, he muttered to himself, "I really hope that the general could capture Luoyang in one fell swoop!" Cai Yong nodded in agreement and said, "Everyone said that Lu Bu is good at being cruel and cruel, and is a jackal! But why do I feel that being with this jackal is particularly comfortable and comfortable? It's just that being with Cao Pi makes me feel like I'm always shocked!" Cai Yan agreed deeply and said, "Father's words are really right!"
Cai Yong suddenly thought of something and said to Cai Yan seriously: "Daughter, it's better not to go to the palace again soon!"
Cai Yan asked quickly, "Why did my father say this?" Then he was shocked and frowned and said, "Can Cao Pi even attack the royal family?"
Cai Yong frowned and said, "Although Cao Pi didn't say anything today, his confidants raised the issue of Empress Cao and Cao Zhi close relationship at today's court meeting. Although Cao Pi didn't say anything, he obviously cared about it!... In addition, some people actually said that the Han Dynasty had been exhausted and the Cao family should flourish and asked Cao Pi to follow the heavens and stand in accordance with the Han Dynasty. Although Cao Pi expressed his opposition in public, I think he was obviously moved! This son is different from Cao Cao. Cao Cao just wanted to realize the real governing philosophy of the vain king, and he never covets the throne, but Cao Pi had a wolfish ambition! The situation is very subtle now, and the palace has become a place of right and wrong. You should avoid it, daughter!" Cai Yan frowned and said nothing.
Ailang leaned on the cushion on the bed, looking at the report he had just sent. At this time, the quilt began to squirm, and then an intoxicating fragrance surged out of the quilt. Two beautiful heads drilled out of the quilt and leaned against Ailang's shoulder. The two women looked 70 to 80% similar, but they were all the same beautiful and charming! One was gentle and gentle, the other was playful and lively. It turned out that they were sisters of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao! At the corners of their eyes and cheeks, they were charming and their expressions were tired and charming. Obviously, the three of them must have done something good just now!
Da Qiao was not in love with the current big event, and leaned on his lover's shoulder to enjoy the rare tenderness of this moment, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes; while Xiao Qiao looked at the bamboo slips in Ailang's hand curiously and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"
Ailang hugged Xiao Qiao's waist, kissed her red lips, and smiled, "It's not a big deal. It's just the news from Old Chen. That boy Cao Pi was so poor that his ministers and the big family started an operation! He said that they colluded with me and intended to subvert the court. Haha, it's really a ghost!" The two women couldn't help but smile, and looked at Ailang together, charming, as if they were blaming him for saying such strange words.
Xiao Qiao asked in confusion: "Why did Cao Pi harm those people? Is it because he was suspicious and a dark ghost?"
Ailang smiled and said, "What's the suspicion? This little bastard just wants to reorganize his arms, but he lacks money and food. What should I do? So I just found such an excuse to scrape money and food from these aristocratic families!...... These people are basically close to Cao Zhi before. Maybe Cao Pi wants to take this opportunity to completely eliminate hidden dangers. It's a killing of two birds with one stone."
Da Qiao frowned slightly and couldn't help but say, "This Cao Pi is really a jackal!" Ai Lang smiled and said, "This guy is really ambitious! I don't think it will take long, this little bastard may even become emperor! It's a pity that although he has a great ambition, his ability is far worse than his! It's only been so long that he actually played the Cao family's business like this!" The two women nodded with deep conscience.
Seeing that the night was already very deep, Ailang rolled up the bamboo slips and said, "Don't look anymore. Go to bed." Then he leaned out and put the bamboo slips in his hand on the small table at the head of the bed, then blew out the palace lanterns placed on the small table. Ailang shrank into the quilt, and soon the screams of Erqiao's big and Erqiao sounded one after another. Xiao Qiao said angrily, "Isn't it enough just now? Oh!" Ailang chuckled wickedly. After a while, the sound of the fairy music of Erqiao's big and Erqiao sounded alternately, stunning. The bright moon in the sky hid behind the clouds shyly.
