Chapter 001-Losing a Son, Shameful and Indignant Cao Cao! (New book!)
Park 197, Jian 'an second year, March.
Thirty-five miles outside Xudu City.
An army of several thousand people was clad in white silk.
There were three huge coffins in the middle of the army. Several warhorses were pulling the carriage, and the coffins were placed inside.
The army of thousands marched for an entire morning and arrived at the Crouching Bull Mountain outside the capital.
Then, he buried the three huge coffins.
Cao Cao's face was filled with grief and his expression was terrifyingly dark.
The civil and military officials around Cao Cao bowed their heads in silence.
Half a month ago, during the battle at Wan City.
Because of Zhang Xiu's sudden rebellion, Cao Ang, Dian Wei, and Cao Anmin died in battle.
The eldest son, Cao Ang, had always been regarded as the successor of Cao Cao. Dian Wei was Cao Cao's favorite general, and his only nephew, Cao Anmin.
"My son!"
"You can go in peace. I will definitely kill Zhang Xiu and avenge you.”Cao Cao was wearing a black cloak as he stood in front of the spirit and swore an oath.
On both sides of the spirit, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and the other generals and strategists were all wearing white silk.
In front of Cao Ang's tombstone, a dignified lady in her early thirties looked haggard. She held the tombstone with both hands and cried non-stop.
"My son, why did my son leave me alone? How can I live in the future?”
“? Son, my son."
The noblewoman stroked the tombstone as she whispered in tears.
Cao Cao, who was wearing a black cloak, took two steps forward and gently held the noblewoman's shoulder.
"Furen, Zi Xiu is in heaven and doesn't want to see you so sad. Furen, don't be too sad.”Cao Cao comforted.
The lady was none other than Cao Cao's wife and Cao Ang's adoptive mother, Madam Ding.
Cao Cao's comforting words did not stop Madam Ding from grieving. Instead, she turned around and glared at Cao Cao.
"Cao Cao, if it wasn't for your lust for beauty, my son wouldn't have fallen to this state.
You killed my son!" Madam Ding shouted at Cao Cao.
When everyone around heard Madam Ding's words, they hurriedly lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything.
Cao Cao did not refute.
This was the truth, and there was no room for rebuttal.
"Cao Cao, return Ang 'er to me!”
"Return Zi Xiu to me!"
Madam Ding's expression became even more sorrowful.
Cao Cao felt guilty and could not refute.
He could only wave his hand to call for help.
"Yuan Rang, Miao Cai, send your sister-in-law back to rest first. Don't let her be overly sad.”
Cao Cao waved his hand and summoned Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Chun.
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Chun arrived in front of Lady Ding.
"Sister-in-law."
"Big sister."
"Let's go back first. The dead can't be brought back to life, so don't be too sad.”
The Cao, Xiahou, and Ding families had been married for generations, and their relationship was not shallow.
Although Cao Cao was the lord, the three families had always addressed each other based on seniority.
That was why Xiahou Chun called Madam Ding sister-in-law.
Xiahou Yuan's wife was Lady Ding's younger sister, so he addressed her as his sister-in-law.
Lady Ding shook off Xiahou Chun and Xiahou Yuan's hands.
He glared at Cao Cao.
"Cao Cao, you've lost your mind. You've harmed my son's life for a widow. You'll suffer retribution sooner or later!”
As soon as Madam Ding said this, the surrounding people immediately turned pale with fright.
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun hurriedly pulled Madam Ding away.
Cao Cao lowered his head, so his expression couldn't be seen.
However, the surrounding atmosphere was already frighteningly cold. Everyone was as quiet as cicadas in winter, not daring to breathe loudly.
"Zhang Xiu, I will definitely kill you!"
The loss of his beloved son and his beloved general had already made Cao Cao extremely heartbroken and angry.
Moreover, if this matter were to spread, how would the world evaluate Cao Cao?
Cao Cao gritted his teeth.
"You guys go back first. I'll stay here with Zixiu and Dian Wei.”Cao Cao waved his hand at Cao Ang's tombstone.
Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, and the others bowed and left.
"Zhongkang, walk with me." Cao Cao took a step forward and headed towards Crouching Bull Mountain.
Behind him, Xu Chu, who was nearly two meters tall and had the body of a fierce tiger, was wearing heavy armor.
"Here."
After agreeing, Xu Chu followed Cao Cao's footsteps.
There were also dozens of guards accompanying him.
In the past, the person who followed Cao Cao was Dian Wei.
Without Dian Wei, Cao Cao would not even be able to sleep well at night.
On the Crouching Bull Mountain, Cao Cao stood on a high hill. The sun was burning above his head, and he was wearing a black cloak.
"Because of my momentary mistake, I harmed Dian Wei's name. Zhongkang, do you think Dian Wei will blame me?”
Cao Cao said with his back to Xu Chu.
Xu Chu quickly bowed and said,"My lord has said it. As long as my lord is safe, Dian Wei will have no regrets even if he dies."?”
"If it were me, as long as I can protect my lord, I would die without regrets.”
Hearing Xu Chu's words, Cao Cao felt a little relieved.
She turned around and patted Xu Chu on the shoulder.
Just as Cao Cao was about to speak.
The surrounding guards suddenly became alert.
They all looked at the forest not far away where the sound came from.
"Who are you? Come out!"
The guards shouted.
Xu Chu nervously stood in front of Cao Cao and held the hilt of his sword with one hand.
Crouching Bull Mountain was located in the wilderness. Who knew if there were any mountain bandits or ferocious beasts?
Cao Cao was not afraid. Xu Chu was in front of him, and there were thousands of soldiers at the foot of the mountain. There was nothing to be afraid of. Hence, he looked in the direction of the forest where the sound came from.
Under the scolding of the guards, a child of about five or six years old dressed in a greenish-gray robe walked out of the forest.
The child was holding a colorful pheasant in his hand.
The child had a delicate face and a pair of big black eyes that were full of spirit. He was not afraid when he walked out of the forest. Instead, he curiously sized up Cao Cao, Xu Chu, and the others.
After walking out of the forest, the child cupped his hands and bowed.
"This brat has no intention of disturbing you, sirs.”
Seeing the child walk out of the forest and greet him so politely, Cao Cao immediately felt very interested.
"Where is my youngest son's home? Why have you come here?”Cao Cao asked.
As for Dian Wei and the other guards, seeing that it was just a child, they let down their guard.
