help me?
Cao Xiong was even more taken aback.
"Just because of these few poems?"
Cao Chong waved his hand, "That's not true. If there is no fifth brother, the other brothers will definitely attack me openly and secretly. Chong'er is not good at martial arts. How can I hide from you? It's fifth brother who suddenly appeared. Chong'er is standing by your side. It's much safer."
While talking, Cao Chong took out a box from his pocket.
Open the box and inside is a dead poisonous snake.
Even though Cao Chong didn't explain the poisonous snake.
Cao Xiong can also guess.
The second brother Cao Pi, the third brother Cao Zhang, and the fourth brother Cao Zhi are so poisonous to their own younger brothers!
How could he let Cao Cao's favorite brother Cao Chong go?
The influence of these three elder brothers has now begun to take shape.
Cao Xiong bears the title of Commander of the Sikong Mansion's soldiers, so he almost got in their way.
Today, the second son Cao Pi ordered the gift boxes, beauties, rare treasures, and even his wife Zhen Mi to send them food... There is no hidden scheme behind any of them!
If one is not careful, he will fall into his tricks.
Cao Chong?Young and without any influence.The mother is not the official wife, Mrs. Bian, and the only thing she relies on is Cao Cao's love.
He is even more dangerous than his own situation.
The battle between the sons of the Sikong Mansion seems to be ordinary, but in fact it is extremely dangerous.
Thinking of this, Cao Xiong asked: "Brother Chong means to ask Brother Wei to help you block these open and hidden arrows?"
At this time, Cao Xiong looked at this child prodigy "Cao Chong" again. He was indeed talented and intelligent, and his analysis of the situation was extremely thorough.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was young and his mother wasn't his main wife, how could the tragedy that followed would have happened.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from my fifth brother!"
Cao Chong glanced at the fifth elder brother Cao Xiong, and said with a smile: "However, younger brother Chong will not let the fifth elder brother help me block the sword and gun, and I will help the fifth elder brother fight for the position of the son."
What a big breath.
The 12-year-old Cao Chong is far more mature than other children of the same age.
According to historical records, in June of this year, Cao Chong will be bitten by a poisonous snake and unfortunately die young.
It seems that before this, the clever Cao Chong already had a premonition.
He found Cao Xiong, who was as weak as him.
Cao Xiong originally didn't plan to rescue Cao Chong in June, but through this conversation, Cao Xiong decided that he must help Cao Chong survive.
For him, Cao Chong is not just a big think tank.
He is still Cao Cao's favorite son, and he can go to Cao Cao's side at any time. This alone is of great help to the fight for the son.
"Come on!" Cao Xiong raised his wine glass and handed it to Cao Chong, "Since brother Chong wants to help me, then I will do my best to protect you."
Cao Chong took the wine glass with a smile, and said, "Brother Chong will thank Brother Fifth!"
Chapter 97 Power
Cao Xiong and Cao Chong chatted from afternoon until dark.Still feeling unfinished.
What surprised Cao Xiong and the emperors in the studio was that.
Cao Chong is well aware of the situation of the entire Sikong Mansion and the entire Cao Cao forces.
Which ministers are attached to which sons, which city prefects are closely related to which sons, these Cao Chong knows very well.
It turned out that Cao Chong had done nothing but observe carefully.
He often went to his father Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was happy to see his favorite son.
All the officials reported some information, and Cao Chong didn't need to avoid it.
With his clever little brain, he stripped away the information and summarized it. Cao Chong knew the situation in the whole north clearly.
In the previous examination paper "On the Strategy of Going South to Jingzhou", Cao Chong deliberately didn't write it in detail, just to deceive people's eyes and ears.
Fortunately, Cao Chong is on Cao Xiong's side,
Otherwise, if Cao Xiong knew that there was a universe hidden in his mind, Cao Xiong would definitely list him as a strong enemy.
The first thing to think about is how to deal with this younger brother Cao Chong.
When parting, Cao Chong also mentioned a major event.
Twenty days later, the "Douwen Conference" held in Yecheng
Cao Cao and all civil servants will watch this competition in person, and all the scholars in the north will also participate. If anyone can win the top prize in the competition, they will definitely be famous.
Obtain the support of civil servants and scholars.
This is also an opportunity for Cao Xiong to establish his own power. It should be known that in the relatively peaceful north, the hearts of scholars are closely related to the fate of talents.
The struggle of the Three Kingdoms is, in the final analysis, a struggle of talents!
How to gather some people with real talents and real learning is a crucial link in both the fight for the son and the hegemony of the Three Kingdoms.
After Cao Chong told Cao Xiong the news, he left Jingxuan Pavilion, and Cao Xiong ordered a group of guards to escort him along the way.
He was not willing to let Cao Chong's younger brother have an accident.
After Cao Chong left, Cao Xiong thought carefully about the current situation.
On the side of the second son Cao Pi, although he lost the important vanguard of the concubine Cao Gun.
But the strength is still not to be underestimated.He maintained a good relationship with many pro-Han ministers.
The stepsons adopted by Cao Cao followed him even more.
The third son Cao Zhang, even though he lost his power as a soldier, he has always been brave and has close ties with many second generations of generals.
For example, the second generation of the Xiahou family, Xiahoushang, Xiahouen, and Xiahoude, are now around 30 years old, and the future of the world depends on them.
The fourth son, Cao Zhi, has always been favored by literati, because he won the first place in the "Dou Wen Conference" last year, and he has a group of resourceful people under him.
Like Yang Xiu and Liu Ye, they were friends with him eight worshippers, and the seven sons of Jian'an even looked up to him.
Even if he is punished, he is now locked in the ice room.
But 20 days later will be the "Dou Wen Conference", the fourth young master who won the first place in the previous "Dou Wen Conference". With this opportunity, it is very possible to make a comeback.
Cao Xiong's side is relatively bleak. Although he has been in the limelight recently and has a place in Cao Cao's heart, but in terms of power, there is still a big difference between him and these three brothers.
Fortunately, having Cao Chong by his side made him feel a lot more at ease.
At least on the issue of competing for the position of the son, it's not that his eyes are smeared, and he has no information at all.
After Cao Chong left, Cao Xiong and Lingju chatted briefly, but unexpectedly, this girl praised him for the first time.
The reason turned out to be that his poems were appreciated by Cao Chong.
Cao Xiong's face was full of black lines, no wonder "If I could do it all over again, would I choose Li Bai?"
Writing poetry is indeed the right way to tease girls!
Chapter 98
Hai time.
Cao Xiong thought he could sleep peacefully today.
But it was just night.
In a circle around Jingxuan Pavilion, torches popped up one after another, directly illuminating Jingxuan Pavilion, like daytime.
"No!" Lingju glanced out of the window, walked quickly to Cao Xiong's side and said, "Fu soldiers surrounded Jingxuan Pavilion, there are hundreds of people!"
Based on her experience, Lingju roughly analyzed the number of soldiers in the government.
Why are the government soldiers surrounding this Jingxuan Pavilion in the middle of the night?
This is the Sikong Mansion, even if it is a rebellion, it should be surrounded by Cao Cao, why surround my yard?
Cao Xiong thought carefully.
Presumably, these military leaders must have instructed a certain young master to come and give him Cao Xiong a blow.
Cao Xiong put on a coat, ready to go out to find out.
Lingju plans to go out with him.Cao Xiong stopped him, negotiating with so many government soldiers, with a servant girl behind him, it was not decent.
Lingju told him to be careful.
It seems that this girl is not so cold, and she is still very concerned about her own safety.
With his head held high, Cao Xiong strode out, he is now the commander of the soldiers of the Sikong Mansion, and these soldiers are naturally his subordinates.
In front of his subordinates, he couldn't lose the money he received from the military command!
Cao Xiong walked up to them, scanned them carefully, four people stood at the head, from the clothing, they were the big bosses of the government soldiers, and behind the four stood eight people, eight small bosses.
Looking around, behind them, a large group of government soldiers surrounded the Jingxuan Pavilion.
There are less than 1000 soldiers in the Sikong Mansion. Excluding the errands, it is not easy to squeeze out 200 people to surround Jingxuan Pavilion.
"Will the leaders want to attack my Jingxuan Pavilion?" Cao Xiong spoke first.
Hearing this sentence, the first four and the last eight, a total of twelve big and small bosses shouted in unison: "Don't dare!"
"Then why did you surround my Jingxuan Pavilion?" Cao Xiong waved his hands, pretending to be angry.
Naturally, these leaders did not expect that a 15-year-old child, surrounded by hundreds of people, not only did not show the slightest timidity, but dared to question them.
This courage does not match his age!
How did they know that Cao Xiong's palms were sweating.
If it weren't for the live broadcast room, the emperors would have been so frightened by the continuous barrage reminders.
Ying Zheng: "I tell you, don't be afraid of them, the more fierce you are, the more afraid they will be!" 』
Xiang Yu: "Take out the courage to lift the mountain and surpass the world, anchor, don't shake your legs!"Why am I so worried about you peeing your pants? 』
Liu Bang: "Don't pee your pants, there is only Lingju in Jingxuan Pavilion, do you think she will wash it for you?" 』
Yang Guang: "Hold on, we can win!" 』
Li Shimin: "They are trying to show you off. At this time, you must not be cowardly and scold them angrily. The more ruthless the better."They are all your subordinates and will not dare to confront you openly. 』
Genghis Khan: "Put your chest up, draw your stomach in, do it!" 』
Zhu Youxiao: "It's so boring to fight and kill!" 』
Cao Xiong: "I will try my best..."
What these emperors revealed was one meaning, that is, you must not be cowardly, as soon as you coax, you will be finished.
So when Cao Xiong came out, he scolded them.
Cao Xiong saw that no one from the government soldiers answered, so he uttered another sentence:
"The four leaders asked the soldiers to surround me in Jingxuan Pavilion? Are they going to rebel against me in Sikong Mansion, or against Cao Sikong?"
Cao Xiong's words were not loud, but they were heard by the leaders of the government soldiers, enough to make their hearts tremble.
Who dares to bear the charge of rebellion?
Even if they were instructed by different masters to give Cao Xiong a bad name, none of them dared to make fun of their heads!
The four of them replied in unison: "Don't dare!"
