EBE Chapter 199 General Dian, let's see! Yang Xiu was transferred as soon as he started work?
Chapter 199 General Dian, let's see! Yang Xiu was transferred as soon as he started work?
At this moment, even a sprint champion couldn't match Cao Ang's speed.
He burst out of the room like an iron bull, fearlessly charging towards Yoshihira!
"Plop!" a sound.
Ji Ping's dagger was knocked away by Cao Ang.
Cao Ang collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
Saw this scene.
Cao Cao's eyes were bloodshot.
Dian Wei's twin iron halberds had already attacked from the other side, and without hesitation, he cleaved off Ji Ping's head.
Lady Bian was already stunned.
Seeing Cao Ang fall, an unprecedented excitement appeared in his eyes!
If Cao Ang were gone, then...
But before Lady Bian could finish celebrating, Cao Cao rushed forward, embraced Cao Ang, and tried to wake his beloved son.
"Father...Father..."
Cao Ang let out a weak cry.
Lady Bian's eyes widened, and she prayed incessantly:
"Die! Die!"
Suddenly, Cao Ang jumped up from the ground.
Yes! Completely intact!
He was wearing a breast protector.
Why does Cao Ang wear this thing so early in the morning?
Because Su Yu once told Cao Ang a story.
The story is called "One cannon kills three sages".
That story features an unreliable father, a loyal guard, a filial son, and a swift warhorse. (Cao Anmin, the pimp, is not a virtuous man; Jueying is.)
The unreliable father's affair with the widow led the widow's nephew to want to kill him in a fit of rage.
Loyal guards, dutiful sons, and swift warhorses all sacrificed themselves one after another to protect their unreliable father.
Su Yu asked Cao Ang to carefully study this anecdote.
The more Cao Ang listened, the more he felt he could relate to the story!
Although his father is usually quite reliable.
But when it comes to widows, they're really unreliable.
A loyal guard and a filial son—isn't this exactly General Dian and Cao Ang?
There are also swift warhorses. Although Jueying is not as good as Chitu, it is still a top-quality warhorse that is one in a thousand.
All right!
To prevent my father from one day becoming like that unreliable father in the story and going out to fool around, thus causing a tragedy like "one cannon killing three virtuous men".
Cao Ang even wears a chest protector while sleeping.
Today, it came in handy!
Ji Ping's short sword was ultimately not a divine weapon like the Seven Star Sword, and it failed to break through the defense of the breastplate.
"Ang'er, are you alright?"
"You scared me to death!"
Cao Cao's eyes were full of love for his son.
This is his precious eldest son; he absolutely cannot be harmed!
Dian Wei was also covered in cold sweat.
Cao Ang turned around and patted Dian Wei on the shoulder.
"General Dian, I was faster than you today."
Dian Wei laughed heartily:
"The moment the young master saved the lord, he was far more capable than I was!"
Cao Ang pretended to be angry and said:
"So, in other words, General Dian is usually more powerful?"
Dian Wei was greatly embarrassed; being clumsy with words, he didn't know how to reply to Cao Ang.
Cao Cao laughed loudly:
“Ang’er, you’ve been corrupted by Ziyi.”
"Don't bully such an honest person as E Lai."
"Don't worry, E'lai, I'll give you beef for lunch today, and I'll also send you a cooked beef leg!"
"beef!!!"
"A beef leg!!!"
Dian Wei's mouth was drooling profusely.
In the Han Dynasty, killing cattle was forbidden.
If you want to eat beef, the cow will die of natural causes.
Under this Han law, even high-ranking officials and nobles could only secretly enjoy a feast during the New Year.
A complete cow leg, especially the hind leg, can weigh anywhere from 20 to 50 kilograms!
This was an unforgettable feast for Dian Wei.
This is Cao Cao's way of employing people.
It wasn't that Dian Wei failed to protect them properly just now.
What Dian Wei did was the best judgment he could make in a moment of desperation.
To blame Dian Wei for this would be truly foolish.
Of course, his beloved son Cao Ang should also be commended.
If it weren't for his beloved son, Cao Mengde would have been seriously injured, if not killed.
However, there are still a lot of things to deal with right now.
For example, who is behind Ji Ping?
This kind of thing shouldn't be difficult to investigate.
By simply sending intelligence officers to investigate the people Yoshihira has been in contact with recently, the range of suspects can be deduced.
Just two days ago, Su Yu was assassinated, and now Cao Cao has also been assassinated.
Some people want to die, and there's no stopping them.
“Ang’er, please entertain Mr. Zhang on my behalf, and then go to your master and tell him about this.”
Cao Cao gave instructions to Cao Ang.
Cao Ang readily agreed.
As for Lady Bian, Cao Cao ignored her completely.
Cao Cao had caught a glimpse of a faint disappointment in Lady Bian's eyes out of the corner of his eye.
Born into an official family, Cao Cao knew everything.
As a concubine who has given birth to so many sons, she must have high hopes for her sons to succeed and achieve even greater things.
It's normal not to have a good impression of the eldest son.
But what you shouldn't have done, Madam Bian, was to show that kind of expression at this time!
but.
Considering Lady Bian's many years of service, and also out of respect for Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi, Cao Cao was not so inclined to order Lady Bian's execution.
However, the necessary reprimands and punishments are definitely necessary.

At the gate of the Imperial Guard's residence
Yang Xiu was like a door god, sent here by his own father, Yang Biao, to stand guard early in the morning.
Yesterday, Yang Biao sent someone to deliver gifts to Su Yu, intending to place Yang Xiu under Su Yu's command.
Su Yu said no problem.
Yang Xiu was a young and promising talent, or rather, a capable young man.
As for Su Yu, there was naturally nothing for Yang Xiu to do.
But the impetuous young Yang Xiu had no idea what "temporary transfer" meant!
Like some positions in later generations, which seem incredibly leisurely.
The results of it?
On my first day at work, before I even got comfortable at my desk, I was transferred to another, exhausting job.
They euphemistically called it "borrowing" this talented person.
As for who to lend Yang Xiu to.
Is that even a question?
Of course, it's the residence of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat!
Our beloved Xun Yu, since becoming the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat, has also successfully unlocked the title of "Lord Xun".
As a close comrade-in-arms who fought alongside Xun Yu, Su Yu certainly couldn't forget Xun Yu.
Last time he tricked his fourth brother, so he borrowed Yang Xiu to do it as an apology for what happened last time.
Su Yu thought to himself.
Poor Yang Xiu had no idea.
This time, standing at the door, was probably the closest he had ever been to Su Yu's residence, the Imperial Guard Commandery.
From now on, his nominal post will be the Commandant of the Imperial Guard.
His actual post was in the Ministry of Personnel.
